Chapter 5 Floating Palace

Did Yu Wuque do something evil?

This was Xue Yi's first thought after being dumped.

However, Xue Yi was more annoyed by his attitude than the vagueness of Crane Bugui's return.Anyway, I am also one of the masters of the Fourth Seminary of Tianji Palace, not to mention being ignored at all, and the two elders were pushed out of the hall by puppets.

Xue Yi stood in embarrassment at the entrance of the hall, pondering: "Is he really going to kill Wuque?"

Mu Qingjun shook his head and sighed: "I think Shangxian has something on his mind, so I don't want to tell you and me clearly. Killing shouldn't happen. His last words seem to be implying us."

"What do you imply? I only hear strange yin and yang."

"Don't be prejudiced. I think Shangxian meant that Yu Wuque must stay in the Fukong Palace."

"If you want to keep someone, you can just say it, why bother to get angry, go around such a big circle and show you and me, in case you guess wrong, is Wu Que dead?"

Mu Qingjun didn't dare to speculate randomly, but based on the logic of an ordinary person, he deduced that Crane Bugui screaming and killing was purely scaring, but Crane Bugui is no ordinary person, except for the Bai brothers and sisters and Guan Xia couple in his eyes, The rest belonged to the same species as the puppets he made. Since the dead and the living are considered "common people", even killing a living one, offering sacrifices to a flower, and letting the crane never return to the body are justified.

"No, you have to tell the Palace Master about this."

Xue Yi has a fiery temper and acts swiftly and resolutely. He said that he would fly off with his sword immediately after finding the palace lord, and Mu Qingjun tore him down again.

"The people from Shangqingguan have just arrived, and the palace master is busy. Besides, it's the same when the palace master comes. Who doesn't know that the most precious Shangxian in the entire Tianji Palace is our palace master. Why don't you tell Guanxia first and let the palace master come to you?" She made peace with her, Taiwei Shangxian has always respected Guan Xia, and if she is an old man who wants to ask for someone, Shangxian will definitely not make things difficult."

Xue Yi's eyes lit up: "That's right, Guan Xia has to look for it too, whoever's grandson loves him so much, let's get ready and go."

Mu Qingjun was directly dragged onto the sword by Xue Yi, and he couldn't stand still for a long time, and couldn't help teasing him: "You scold him the most on weekdays, but you still love him when something happens."

"It hurts!" Xue Yi blew his beard and stared at him, "I don't care about this unfilial son! After this matter is over, he will be transferred to another hospital. Whoever loves to teach will be taught, and if he becomes his master again, he will die next year!"

The two elders were worried about Yu Wuque's life and death, so they invited Guan Xia here without stopping.

Guan Xiafeng pushed the door open and came in, and shouted: "Stinky boy!"

Yu Wuque shuddered, seeing that she hadn't copied the feather duster, he immediately turned his lips away: "Grandma."

"How many legs are left? Show me."

Guan Xia was not forgiving, but went straight to the bedside to check on Yu Wuque's injury, the old man couldn't hide the worry and distress on his face.

"I'm fine." Seeing grandma's appearance, Yu Wuque suddenly felt guilty, held her and said in a soft voice, "If you come a moment later, the scar will heal, even if you lack arms or legs, I will grow some for you New ones come out."

"Stop talking!"

Even though it was packed with medicine, Guan Xia's pair of glazed monster eyes could see clearly, her leg flesh was gone, and there were scratch marks on the white bones, even if she took painkillers, it would still be excruciatingly painful when the medicine wore off.This kid doesn't care at all, he must be pretending.

"Grandma." Yu Wuque stared at the food box, "I want to eat."

Guan Xia felt distressed and didn't want to show it, so he cursed at people while feeding him: "What's wrong with you to hunt spirit beasts, if you save people, hurry up and leave, you have to show your prestige a few times, do you want to set up a stage for you?" Dance again, besides, if the spirit beast is damaged, can you afford it?"

"I can't afford it, I can't afford it, uh, eat another piece of meat. Don't worry about the money, grandma. I have saved a lot of materials, and I can exchange them for a lot of money by selling them outside."

"Money is a trivial matter. What should I do if something happens to you? Ah? I'm old and I can't get angry. You don't know how to love me!"

"Naturally, I love grandma the most. Oh, I don't want to eat vegetable leaves, take them away!"

Yu Wuque was slapped on the forehead for being fussy eaters with the left ear going in and the right ear coming out, and after he had finished eating voraciously, Guan Xia started talking about business.

Master Yongle had already told the origin of the Kunda beast, but what grandma mentioned was another one. The energy erupted from the holy mountain was enough to burn the living beings, which was unexpected by Yu Wuque. Even with such a big hole, he couldn't escape the guilt.

Guan Xia said: "Yao'er, grandma is now going to follow up with the immortal to plead guilty, and the merits of saving people can be used to make up for the crime, and the punishment will be lighter."

It was rare for Yu Wuque to see his grandmother being so polite to someone, and he asked, "Is it difficult for the Immortal Taiwei to talk? Just now I heard that Master Yongle said that Master and Mu Qingjun have been begging for love all morning, how will he punish me?"

It's not just a punishment, it's your life, dear grandson.

Guan Xia didn't want to scare him, so he comforted him: "Don't be afraid, the one surnamed He doesn't give face to others, dare not give it to me, you wait for grandma, we will go home in a while."

Guaranteed by Guan Xia's words, Yu Wuque lay down firmly, and after an hour passed, the food box was emptied, and Guan Xia still didn't come back.

After another hour, Yu Wuque waited anxiously, and the door was finally pushed open.

Seeing that Xia Yintang turned black, he was obviously angry, Yu Wuque secretly felt that something was wrong and dared not say a word.

Guan Xia sat by the bed, stared at Yu Wuque for a long time before asking, "Is there anything you are hiding from me?"

Yu Wuque was taken aback: "No."

"really?"

"No, why did grandma ask like that?"

Guan Xia obviously wanted to say something, but she endured it for a long time, and finally swallowed it down.

"After careful consideration, I think it's better for you to think about it here. No matter what you do, you have to give Shangxian an explanation."

Yu Wuque: "???"

"In other people's palaces, you should restrain your temper, clean and serve well, and don't stop practicing when you have time. Do what the gods tell you, listen to him, and do what he wants. When he is happy, he will naturally let it go. you."

Yu Wuque called "Grandma" in a long drawl, but it was useless, so he had to ask, "What did Shangxian tell you?"

"What he said will naturally ask you again."

Guan Xia quickly packed up the food box, and she was about to leave. Her eyes were complicated, and there seemed to be something more besides compassion. She just stared at Yu Wuque for a long time, and finally touched the back of his head.

"Yao'er, grandma believes that you have no bad intentions, but you'd better tell Shangxian honestly what you have done, even if he punishes you to death, he won't really kill you. You are obedient and don't complain. "

Guan Xia walked very simply, and the change in attitude made Yu Wuque a little confused, especially what he couldn't figure out was what his grandmother wanted him to tell honestly.

The smell of medicine in the room was strong, the analgesic pills had expired, Yu Wuque was in a cold sweat from the pain, no one came to take care of him, so he had to nest in the bedding and lie down until the sunset.

It's time for dinner, someone came to deliver food.

The sound of the wood lump came in, and two puppet waiters with fine carvings pushed open the door, and pulled a shelf, on which were dinner, boiled soup, several bottles of burn ointment, as for the washbasin, handkerchief and change of clothes, It was something Yu Wuque was used to, and it looked like it had been sent directly from the disciple's room.

Yu Wuque said to himself: "Grandma really doesn't care about me anymore."

The wooden puppet put all the things back silently. Seeing Yu Wuque leaning against the bed and staring at them sleepily, he thoughtfully set up a wooden table on the bed and brought all the meals over.

Yu Wuque was hungry and in pain at first, but now he has no heart to eat.

The ancients said that the beauty is delicious, sincerity does not deceive me, Yu Wuque just watched these puppets walking back and forth in front of him, and he was full of envy and jealousy.

As expected of a puppet of the Floating Palace!As expected of the famous Crane Does Not Return!

He admired it from the bottom of his heart.

These puppets were made with high-quality craftsmanship and expensive materials. If they were sold in Qianhe City, they would fetch sky-high prices. However, they were just servant puppets of the Floating Sky Palace.

The most wonderful thing is that there is no puppet string to hold it and still move freely. The layman watches the excitement, and the expert watches the doorway. This technique alone is a top-grade puppet that can't be asked for.

Yu Wuque grabbed the puppet's arm for a closer look, and was amazed: "The mortise and tenon are interlocking, the bearing design is all ingenious, and there is no stiffness and procrastination in action. If you put on a smock, it is enough to distinguish the fake from the real one, but... Where is the device? I can’t see the puppet wire, is there another way to drive it?”

"Well done."

"Tsk, look, why didn't I think of this material."

"Wow, the eyeballs look real, oh my god, are you blinking?"

When he saw the puppet, he was fascinated by ghosts. After tossing around, Yu Wuque realized that the food was going to be cold. He ate absent-mindedly on the bed with the rice in his hand, and all his attention was on the puppet.

After finishing his work, the wooden puppet stood quietly beside the bed. Seeing that half of Yu Wuque's face was covered with rice grains, he took out a white handkerchief to wipe his face.

"Wait a minute!"

Yu Wuque shrank back, staring at the wooden puppet in disbelief: "You—"

The wooden puppet said humbly: "Master wants to see Mr. Yu in a while. There are rules in the Fukong Temple. You can only meet if you have a neat appearance. I have offended you."

The refreshing and immature youthful voice comes from the throat, which is no different from a real person, but fits the youthful face of the puppet "servant boy", but dead things are dead things, and daily labor can be borne after training. The ability to observe words and expressions is not training You can have it, let alone speak, which is beyond Yu Wuque's cognition of puppets.

Earlier, I heard that the puppet made by Crane Bugui can speak eloquently, just like a real person, but I heard that the puppet made by Crane Bugui can still be shocked by seeing it with my own eyes.

Yu Wuque couldn't help being curious, did these dead creatures set up "questions" and "answers" early in the morning, giving people the illusion of fluent answers, or did they really think like living people?

If it's the latter, it's really a treasure.

He forced himself to be calm, restrained his excitement and asked, "I'm sweating all over, and I'm about to go bad, should I take a bath first and then go see me?"

"Yes."

"But you see, it's really inconvenient to wrap this leg, what should I do?"

"The wooden barrel and hot water are already outside the door. If you finish eating, young master, we will scrub your body for you."

The puppet cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks as he spoke, and two more puppets came in carrying the wooden bucket. Yu Wuque became very excited, took off his clothes carelessly, and let the puppets serve him.

"Do you have names?"

"Master, my name is Xia Si." The servant boy pointed to the hibiscus pattern on his clothes and said, "The three of us all belong to Xia Yuyuan, our surname is Xia, and our first names are the order in which the master made us."

Hearing the sound, Yu Wuque also looked at the clothes of the other two, and said with a smile, "Xia Qi, Xia Yi, and Xia Si, thank you for your care."

"You're welcome, son."

The three servant boys made voices at the same time, the voice lines were exactly the same, and the corners of their mouths were pulled away from the ears at an angle, revealing the empty mouth. The smile was so stiff that even Yu Wuque felt horrified after dealing with puppets so much. panic.

"This water has a fragrance, what is it?"

"The flowers in the lotus pond in Xia Yuyuan are invincible all year round. The bath water is soaked in lotus leaves and mixed with flower juice. It smells delicate."

"Smells the fragrance?" Yu Wuque stretched out his hand to grab a handful and handed it to Xia Si's nose deliberately, "Is there more fragrance of flowers in the water, or more fragrance of leaves?"

Xia Si blinked: "My lord, we have no sense of smell. The master likes lotus leaves, so I think maybe there will be more leaf fragrance."

It usually takes only half a quarter of an hour to take a bath, but today three people helped to wipe her body, and Yu Wuque insisted on washing for more than an hour. At one moment, she was asking questions like a matchmaker at the entrance of a village, and at another moment, she was moving her hands and feet like a local hooligan. The servant boy was not human at all, and had already turned the tub upside down on his head.

But he did ask some questions.

These servant boys do not need to be pulled by puppet strings, and other driving devices are embedded in the body, and this device not only provides power, it can endow puppets with some simple wisdom.

The biggest difference between a living person and a dead thing is wisdom. Yu Wuque is obsessed with hagana, and his ultimate goal is to be a puppet that is indistinguishable from a living person. The few puppets in front of him are very close.

He took the topic to a deeper level and tried to find out.

"You are not human, but you are too human-like. You have questions and answers, you know the hot and the cold, and you can laugh. Xia Si, do you know that you laugh because you are happy?"

"Happy?"

"It's emotions. Humans have the seven emotions and six desires, and happiness is one of them. With the seven emotions and six desires, even if your body is made of wood, you are still alive."

Xia Si was puzzled and said, "But no one is made of wood."

Yu Wuque said: "No, a living person is just a soul placed in a body. Who said that only a body of flesh and blood can be called a body. If you have a soul, or...put a soul, you are considered—"

squeak-

The door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and Yu Wuque's words were cut off. A high-ranking puppet in palace clothes stood at the door. The three Xia brothers silenced him when they saw him, dressed Yu Wuque silently, and retreated to the door. side.

"Young master has packed up, please go to the main hall. My name is Kongzhi, and I am the master's servant. From now on, young master, I will be responsible for all affairs in the Fukong hall."

The surface of Kong Zhi was covered with a skin-like smock, and there was no difference between him and a living person. Although his voice was very similar to that of the three Xia brothers, it was much calmer, and his expression was majestic.

Yu Wuque replied "Yes", and searched for something to support his feet all over the room. Kong Zhi raised his hand to pat it, and another person came in from outside the room, pushing a wheelchair, pushed Yu Wuque in, and pushed the door out.

The wheelchair was rolling on the porcelain stone tiles with a "click click", and there were sword puppets standing silently every ten steps on both sides of the corridor, but their expressions were solemn and silent like gods, which made the corridor look empty and solemn.

Yu Wuque only felt dazzled, and his head was full of "Taiwei Shangxian is so powerful", he only cared about worshiping, and completely forgot that he was taken to punish him.

He asked Kongzhi many questions along the way, but Kongzhi was not as talkative as Xia Si, so he seldom talked to him. At the end, he warned: "My lord, never discuss 'life and death' with puppets again. Wait for the big taboo."

Yu Wuque: "..."

Yu Wuque: "What will happen if you commit a taboo?"

"Young master will be beaten, I can only scrap it."

When he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, the door was wide open. Kongzhi lightly knocked the door knocker three times, and dared to enter after waiting for a while. Yu Wuque's wheelchair was handed over to Kongzhi, and he was pushed towards the main seat step by step.

Different from the white floor tiles of the promenade, everything in the main hall is paved with Xiuyu. The translucent stone is entangled with faint dark green snake patterns. At this time, the setting sun is slanting, orange and yellow are mixed with emerald green, and the whole hall is beautiful. It's like being wrapped in an emerald glass cup, like a dream.

Except for the same number of sword puppets as outside silently under the wall, Yu Wuque heard a few panting sounds of animals. It is rumored that there are no living things in the Floating Sky Temple except for Taiwei Shangxian. He is accompanied by giant Yanjia and thousands of puppets in his practice. , These gasps must be those Yanjias that look like divine beasts.

Standing here, the hairs all over Yu Wuque's body stood on end.

It's not that he's afraid of being nervous, he was so excited that he was able to watch the highest level of Yanshu today.

As for that one, Yu Wuque was neither dizzy nor dazzled at the moment, his gaze fell on the chief seat and he could never look away.

The real person bathed in the glazed emerald light is very different from the Taiwei Shangxian he imagined.

Crane Bugui looked handsome and handsome, with a handsome appearance, even if he was crooked on his seat and lowered his eyebrows, he still exuded a noble air.There was an elegant crane plume on his jade crown, which complemented the dark-patterned crane embroidered on the white gauze robe, and his temperament was beyond ordinary.

Yu Wuque prided himself on being the face of Tianji Palace, and in front of this person, he also had to sigh, "Shocked as a heavenly man".

What's more, this "heavenly man" has outstanding skills that the world can't match, and Yu Wuque's admiration has increased uncontrollably.

Kongzhi pushed Yu Wuque to stop and bowed to salute. Yu Wuque sat in a wheelchair and saluted very sensiblely, and immediately said in a voice like a bell: "Inner disciple Yu Wuque paid a visit to Shangxian Taiwei. I salute and look to the gods to make amends."

Thanks to Xue Yi, He Bugui's brain has been hurting until now, so he lowered his head and meditated quietly. When Yu Wuque opened his voice, his eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help being a little irritable.

Casting a cold look over, not seeing any guilt in doing something wrong, Hebugui stopped talking.

Seeing that he was ignoring others, Yu Wuque said loudly again: "The immortals on the Chijin Mountain rescued the disciple from danger, and the disciple is very grateful, and he will definitely repay him in the future."

Crane Bugui raised his eyebrows, and snorted coldly: "Are you trying to remind me that the grace of saving life should be equal to merit and demerit?"

"Yes, no, the disciple didn't mean that—"

"Then what do you mean?"

Yu Wuque scratched his head: "Actually, that's what it means. It's just a blunt offense, so it's beating around the bush in order to be tolerant."

Crane Bugui sat up straighter, and simply said: "Okay, it's over."

Yu Wuque: "?"

Isn't that nice to talk about?

"Let's talk about another thing, explain everything clearly, and don't hide it, otherwise the merits of saving people will not be counted."

He Bugui said calmly, "I will kill you again."

Yu Wuque didn't take the threat of death seriously at all. After all, the person in front of him was Taiwei Shangxian, who he worshiped wholeheartedly, and he was a serious disciple of Tianji Palace. is crazy.

However, the facts proved that Guan Xia's worries and Xue Yi's worries were not without reason.

As soon as Crane Bugui finished speaking, Kongzhi drew out his sword, and struck Yu Wuque's heart with a sword. The tip of the sword was sharp, and the puppet released a murderous intent.

Crane Bugui asked blankly: "When did you learn 'Sun Eater'?"

Yu Wuque's head was full of question marks: "What did you eat? What day?"

A squeak.

The tip of the sword pierced into the flesh, Yu Wuque cried out in pain, full of fear, if the crane doesn't return, you really want to stab?

Crane Bugui asked again: "Have you absorbed human souls?"

Yu Wuque was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe, but he was still confused, and said intermittently: "I don't know, I don't know what you are talking about..."

A sneer.

With the palm of Kongzhi against the hilt of the sword, his murderous intent surged, and he pierced Yu Wuque's heart without hesitation.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Kongzhi: My son, is your future wife called He Bugui?

Yu Wuque: What doesn't return?

Kong Zhi: The crane does not return.

Yu Wuque: What's wrong with the crane?

Kong Zhi: The crane does not return.

Yu Wuque: Where does the crane go?

Kong Zhi: Alright, son, you are cold.
