When he asked this question, the woman sneered with disdain.

Looking into Zhan Qingyun's eyes, the woman paused and said: "I really wanted to take him away yesterday, but at most he is only willing to walk with me to the inn next to him. Take a step. I am his apprentice, and of course I can't do things against his wishes. So I can only chat with him about the past, and in the end, these two came to me."

After she finished speaking, she gestured to Su Yan and Duan Shuize who were beside her.

The two nodded, and the woman continued: "As for me coming to you, there is actually only one reason. I have come to discuss with you and ask you to let go of my master. Release all the shackles you have placed on him. If you If you are willing to cooperate well, I will not trouble you. But if you are not willing, I have a hundred ways to make you willing."

This sentence is blatantly threatening.

Cooperating with the woman's sinister gaze at this moment, Zhan Qingyun can be sure that if he puts it on normal times or other things, he will definitely give in already.

But the situation is different now, the woman is talking about Angelica.

For Zhan Qingyun, after the death of everyone in the Zhan family, Danggui became his last relative besides his married aunt.

It is absolutely impossible for him to voluntarily leave his relatives.

So without any hesitation, Zhan Qingyun refused directly: "Danggui is the most important family member to me, and I can't let you take him away. I don't understand what you said, after all I can't tell if you're lying or what. Then why should I listen to you?"

"Because I didn't lie from the beginning." The woman frowned: "He is indeed my master, who has taught me for hundreds of years. How could I forget him? I have studied it yesterday. His current body Turned into wood. I don't understand why this happened, but the soul can't lie. No matter how the body changes, I can be sure that the soul inside it hasn't changed at all."

Zhan Qingyun finally understood what the woman meant, frowned slightly, and said, "You mean, the soul in Dang Gui's body belongs to your master?"

The woman nodded vigorously.

She originally thought that if she said it so bluntly, Zhan Qingyun would either feel embarrassed or feel guilty.But what she never expected was that Zhan Qingyun couldn't help laughing after being stunned for a moment.

He laughed so hard that he couldn't control himself, so he could only hug Angelica beside him to prevent himself from laughing too violently and falling to the ground.

The woman asked angrily: "I'm talking about such a serious thing, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm sorry, I just feel very happy." Zhan Qingyun said this, but he still couldn't control his smile.Laughing maniacally, he tried to explain: "Girl, you have to know that I am just a puppet master. I don't know who the master you are talking about is. I only know that the angelica next to me is my little by little puppet master." Made it. Every part of his body, every piece of skin, was slowly polished out of materials I found myself. As for the soul inside, logically speaking, it should not exist. Now that the soul has appeared, this Doesn't it prove that I am already the best puppeteer in my father's mouth? Sorry, what you said before is like an affirmation to me. I really can't help it."

He said, laughing again.

The woman blushed with anger, while Dang Gui stretched out her hand, caressing Zhan Qingyun's head lovingly, and finally hugged Zhan Qingyun in her arms.

"Master!" When the woman called out, tears were already in her eyes.

Angelica looked up at her.

Under everyone's shocked eyes, he actually uttered a sentence: "I died a hundred years ago, why do you have to wait until now?"

This was the first time everyone present, including Zhan Qingyun, heard Dang Gui speak.

His voice is very nice, like spring water dripping in an empty valley, crisp and sweet.

Zhan Qingyun immediately stopped his laughter, and even his breathing became very quiet.It seemed that he was afraid that his voice would be too loud, which would affect his listening to Angelica's voice.

As for that woman, the moment she heard these words, the tears in her eyes could not be held back.While crying, she said in despair: "Master, can you stop talking like this? Look at you, aren't you standing here now? I've found you, why don't you want to go back with me? What did you do before?" It is true that I was wrong about those things, and I will never make you angry again. Please..."

"Go back by yourself," Dang Gui interrupted the woman's pleading, he said, "This is where I live. The me you once knew is dead, and now my name is Dang Gui. Do you understand?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't give the woman another chance to react, he turned around and took Zhan Qingyun to go into the room.

However, this time, Zhan Qingyun did not follow his will, but turned to look at the woman, and said, "Senior, if you don't mind, can you tell me about the past?"

The woman bit her lip.

Although she didn't say anything, they all understood that this kind of silence also represented acquiescence, and she was willing to tell Zhan Qingyun what he didn't know about the past.

Zhan Qingyun was very happy.

As long as it is about Angelica, he is very willing to be a qualified listener and listen carefully.

Angelica himself is obviously unwilling to mention those pasts.It's a pity that he couldn't resist Zhan Qingyun at all, so he could only follow the crowd into the room, find a stool and sit down, and then his eyes were dull, and he returned to the state that a normal puppet should have.

The woman sat in front of them, took a few deep breaths, and said, "My master is a casual cultivator in Beihai, and I am the only disciple under his sect. I have studied with him for hundreds of years. I want to leave that master’s school. Because you don’t know, that place is really too remote. My master is also indifferent and taciturn, usually he can only talk to the fish in the sea by himself, and there is no one who can chat with me None, it's just too lonely."

Zhan Qingyun nodded, he could quite understand this feeling.

Although it's not so extreme, but when I was in the Zhan family, the adults in the family were constantly busy with their own affairs.So Zhan Qingyun learned to speak to the puppet at home since he was a child. Even if he didn't get any response, he felt very happy to have an audience.

Su Yan on the side did a good job of listening to the story carefully. After blinking, he asked, "And then? Angelica said that he had been dead for a hundred years. What's going on?"

Mentioning this matter, the luster in the woman's eyes dimmed again, and she said: "In the end, I still have to blame me for this matter. At the beginning, I wanted to leave the master's school, but the master didn't agree. Because he himself saw too much. He knows very well what the outside world looks like. What we learn is not the magic that those so-called decent people like, but the place we live in is the human world, not the demon world. So after I forcibly left the teacher's door , not long after entering the inland, I became a monster that everyone shouted and beat."

After the woman finished speaking, the expression on her face became even uglier.She tried her best to take a few deep breaths to ease her emotions, and then she continued: "To be honest, I didn't do anything bad. Instead, I used my exercises once when I was saving people. The rescued The man was startled, and then..."

She bit her lip and couldn't continue.

Su Yan couldn't control her curiosity, so she raised her hand and asked, "This is the devil world, and we don't discriminate against exercises. So senior, would you mind telling us what this exercise is?" "

"Actually, it's nothing...It's a bit like puppetry? It's just that the things we control are not so beautiful." The woman said, she stretched out her hand, and there was a bug in the palm of her hand.

The bug was emerald green, except for a human face on its head.The expression on the man's face was very painful, and seeing so many people staring at him, he opened his mouth, and let out an ugly scream from his throat.

The sound was very ear-piercing, the woman quickly closed her hand, and the sound of the insect disappeared, and the woman continued: "This kind of insect is made of the souls of wicked people. At that time, someone wanted to rob the women of the people. I saw this scene, I couldn't help but turned that bad guy into a bug. As a result, everyone said that I used black magic, and I needed to be expelled. Later, I was frightened by everyone and ran back to Beihai. But I didn't Thinking of those people chasing after me, even if I return to the master's sect, they won't let me go."

Hearing this, everyone almost guessed the ending.

But after all, this is a story about Angelica, Zhan Qingyun squeezed his fist, and he continued to ask: "What happened next? Angelica..."

"Those people wanted to kill me, but the master wanted to protect me. As a result, he fought several sects by himself. The master said let me leave first, and he would find a way to escape. I was really scared at that time, and I was obedient I left and went to the place where we agreed to meet. I waited for him there for a long time, and finally couldn't help but go back to the sect. I found that the sect had become a ruin. The master disappeared. Since then, I I have been looking for Master, and I always feel that if I work harder, I can find him. And now, I have found it."

After speaking, she looked up at Angelica.

The emotion in her eyes could no longer be concealed, tears welled up in her eyes again, and she said: "Master, even if you don't want to leave with me, can you tell me the reason anyway? If it's just because the puppet can't leave the puppet master, I……"

"That's not the case." Dang Gui interrupted her again: "At least...not all because of this."
