If it was placed before, he could still laugh and say that he just admired his master, but he just inadvertently thought that Shen Yingxue was noticed by Gousi, but now...but he couldn't say anything.

Even without looking, he knew that his face must be very red, and his words were not half convincing.

"I just..."

Before Song Minhuan finished speaking, there was a "bang", Zhuang Li's long sword was unsheathed, and the light of the sword cut off the horse's reins.

The crane horse spread its wings and exhaled air from its nostrils, Zhuang Li jumped down from the tree, his back was a bit gloomy, his eyes were drooping to cover the emotions in his eyes, he opened the curtain and got into the carriage.

Anyone could tell that Zhuang Li was not happy, Song Minhuan didn't need to explain anymore after such an interruption, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the direction of the carriage, with a little worry.

Zhuang Li still misses him, otherwise he wouldn't give him a puppet.Although he didn't understand, but judging by the crooked twists of the puppet just now, Xiao Zhuang has never been able to make these things, and it took a lot of thought to do it in a few days.

He lost his temper, but this time he didn't want to take the initiative to find Zhuang Li.

The red puppet threads were still scattered on the ground, he went to pick them up one by one, the other hand helped him pick up the rest, Shen Yingxue put the puppet threads into his palm.

"Didn't you rest well in the past two days?" Shen Yingxue's fingertips gathered white light, and put the puppet back on the token.

Song Minhuan really didn't sleep well in the past two days, his thoughts were all over the person in front of him.

He rubbed the token twice, "Maybe I'm going to do a task, so I'm a little nervous."

This excuse is too bad, but he still doesn't know it very well at the moment, and he is uneasy and entangled in his heart. He needs time to digest his feelings and make a decision.

"Don't be too nervous," Shen Yingxue said warmly, "If there is something you don't understand, you can come and ask me."

"Okay," Song Minhuan agreed, not planning to ask Shen Yingxue for the time being, he got into the carriage with Shen Yingxue.

"Shanshan, wait for me for a while, I'll be right over."

Meng Qi didn't know what sound transmission he heard over there, so he told them and left.

The three of them were waiting for Meng Qi in the carriage, this time Song Minhuan was sitting next to Shen Yingxue, and Zhuang Li was opposite him.

When he sat down, Shen Yingxue asked him, "Is the injury on your shoulder healed?"

Song Minhuan nodded, this time it was completely healed, there was no more sinister energy coming out, and the shoulder was hurting again, but the red lotus mark on it did not go away.

After he said it, Shen Yingxue still reached out to touch his shoulder, and only after checking it did she feel relieved.

It took a while for Meng Qi to come over. They didn't bring Hua Chongjin with them for this mission. The chance of being in danger is relatively high, so it is not appropriate to bring him.

"Let's go." Meng Qi whistled outside the door, let the crane and horse drive, then opened the curtain and sat next to Zhuang Li.

She was still holding the precious halberd in her hand, holding the halberd and said: "Do you know the patriarch of the Red Moon Kingdom today?"

The Shili River is the only way to enter the Red Moon Kingdom. Every night when the moon is full, a door will appear at the end of the river, and that door leads to the Red Moon Kingdom.

The Crimson Moon Kingdom retains the tribal system thousands of years ago, in which the ruler is the patriarch.After the former patriarch Mu Yin fell, the next patriarch arrested all the members of the Chiyue tribe and used their blood to refine red tassel oil. Now there are puppet masters and puppets in the city.

The current head of the Chiyue clan, she killed Mu Yin and usurped the throne and imprisoned the Mu Yin clan. Because she heard that Mu Yin was rescued by the Gate of Twelve Nights, she was afraid of retaliation, so she hid in the Shili River.

The Red Moon Kingdom was originally hidden from the world and no outsiders were allowed to enter. It was not until hundreds of years ago that a door was opened again, and only puppet masters and puppets who were trading were allowed to enter.

And Mu Yin's bones are also there now.

"Now Chiyue's patriarch is Qiangdi, Mu Yin's former wife," Shen Yingxue, "This is the clue I found, but it may not be accurate."

"You need to remember that the puppet master has a rule to abide by, that is, he is not allowed to ask for his name. It is taboo to mention his name in the city."

Song Minhuan felt that there was deep meaning in Shen Yingxue's words, and the clues might not be accurate, which meant that they should investigate in person.

"Name?" he asked. "So what should we call each other?"

Meng Qi: "Look at the token in your hand. The moment you enter the city, a name will appear on it, representing your new identity in the city."

Shen Yingxue nodded, "You also can't tell others your real name, if you tell, it's very likely that someone with a heart will easily use magic to turn you into a puppet."

Become a puppet?

Holding the token in his hand, Song Minhuan heard Shen Yingxue say again: "The Chiyue clan has some relationship with Mr. Lan of Dizang. Back then, the Chiyue clan received a gift from Mr. Lan. Young Master Lan gave this object to them to protect the Chiyue Clan."

"After Qiang Di killed Mu Yin, he used the "Zhi Que" given by Gongzi Lan to imprison his own people."

First Tianming Fengyuan, and now Ksitigarbha son Lan, it seems that there is a hand in the dark, pushing them to the era of wars and killings in 3000 years...someone is leading them to move forward in the prosperity of the years. After they cleared the fog, behind them was the man's purpose.

As Shen Yingxue said, she glanced at the sword in Song Minhuan's hand.The sword was dusty, and it was very quiet on weekdays. If you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't know that the sword was always listening to them.

But never made any movement.

The red six-volume cloud totem...is clearly the symbol of that clan.

Meng Qi: "If Young Master Lan is still here, I'm afraid I will regret giving this thing back then, and it will be used by someone with a heart to harm the Chiyue clan."

Zhuang Li didn't speak the whole time, just listened quietly, rubbing the token he bought in his hand, which was made of ordinary red tassel oil without silk.

He only had time to make one piece of Puppet within three days, and the only piece was given to Senior Brother Cheap.

"We are not the only ones on this trip. The Gate of Twelve Nights will also send people over. You need to find Mu Yin's bones and bring them back before they do."

At the Gate of Twelve Nights, the only people they have come into contact with so far are the servants of the ghost world and the evil god Shuozhou. They also know of Zhuangli's father Situ Shen, the revived Tianming Fengyuan, and the annihilated Mu Yin.

"Then who... Xu Wanqin, isn't he the adopted son of the servant of the ghost world? Could he be sent here?"

Meng Qi: "I'm an old acquaintance, if it's really him, then this time will be quite lively."

The crane horse stopped at the Shili River, and they chose the night, and now the long moon is in the sky, and the moonlight is clear and cold.In front of them, there is a long and mighty river, the moonlight shines on it, and the mountains, rivers and plants are reflected on the water.

At the end of the river, there is a cliff. The cliff is steep and rugged. On top of the mottled rock formations are layers of ripples washed out by the river. The waves sway on it, looming in it.

At midnight, the full moon was covered by dark clouds in the sky, the river meandered against the rocks, thick fog spread over the cliff, and a black iron gate slowly appeared in midair.

Above the iron gate are two string puppets, the chains are bound to the puppets' whole bodies, and the puppets' bodies are placed in a twisted movement.Their necks were almost broken, and they hung precariously on their necks. Red threads spread all over their bodies, as if all the tendons had been pulled out. Two dark, empty eyes were facing their direction, looking extremely eerie and strange.

The river seemed to stop flowing at this moment, and many people appeared around them.The iron door "creaked" and opened to both sides, and there was the sound of wood colliding together in the air, which was slightly dull, as if some iron was rubbing against each other.

In front of them, many red lights flashed out, followed by... a group of puppets.

This was the first time Song Minhuan saw the rumored puppet.

Some of these puppets are made of wood, and they are carved into human shapes. There are dark broadsword marks on the eyes and mouth, and many red lines converge on the surface of the skin.Others look like ordinary people, except that there are a few red lines on the face, which should be made of corpses.

They have different expressions and postures. Some sit on the shoulders of the puppeteer with a smile, some follow behind the puppeteer and are pulled by the red thread, and some are carried on the back by the puppeteer, with expressions that seem to be smiling but not smiling.

All the puppet masters carry an identity token, and some of them are not puppet masters, but they also carry identity tokens, and most of them go in to trade red tassel oil.

They stepped into the iron gate together.

The moment they stepped into the iron gate, the scene in front of them changed immediately. The yellow sand in front of them was long, the sky was clear and clear, and a brownish-yellow city loomed in the distance.

At this moment, the red light of the tokens gathered together, and a new name appeared on each of their tokens.

Song Minhuan glanced at his token, on it was the word "Thirteen" with red tassel oil gathered together.

From today, he will be thirteen.

He stared at this number, this was not the first time this name was used, in Li Bei, in his dreams, he dreamed of this number several times.

Zhuang Li was right next to him, he leaned over to look, and saw the token in Zhuang Li's hand with the word "Young Master" on it.

"Young master?" Song Minhuan finished watching Zhuang Li's and wanted to see Shen Yingxue's.

Shen Yingxue put away the token, and he only found a vague character, which looked like the word "Pian".

"What is Shanshan?" Shen Yingxue erased the words on the token, and they had no chance to look again.

"Thirteen," Song Minhuan showed the token to Shen Yingxue.

Shen Yingxue didn't want them to see, of course there was a reason, but Song Minhuan was really curious, what could the word "film" be?

He racked his brains but failed to come up with the identity related to "Pian".

Meng Qi's token had the word "Saint" on it, but he didn't know what it meant.

"It's also thirteen this time?" Shen Yingxue took his token, and rubbed the word 13 thoughtfully in her eyes for a while.

"I don't know what's strange about it," Song Minhuan said, "Is there any special meaning in the name of this token? Or is it chosen randomly?"

"It has a special meaning," Shen Yingxue said lightly: "It usually implies another identity. For example, Meng Qi's 'saint' refers to the Fang clan of Yingzhou hundreds of years ago, and their cultivation is ruthless and desireless. And Meng Qi's mother came from the Fang family in Yingzhou."

So it has something to do with my identity?

Mentioning his mother, Meng Qi had no expression on his face, and mocked: "What does this token mean? Is it a prophecy metaphor?"

Shen Yingxue said: "There are all of them. The red tassel oil is made from the blood of the Chiyue clan. The blood of their clan has been sacred throughout the ages."

"Sacred objects channel spirits through objects. This is a hint and a reminder."

Behind them, Zhuang Li saw those two words before Shen Yingxue erased the handwriting, his pupils constricted suddenly, the darkness and deepness spread in his eyes, the force in his palm lost control, and he almost crushed the token in his hand.
