no puppet

The fast horse galloped crazily along the way, almost without stopping for a moment, and finally reached the foot of Fuze Mountain. Rong Yin flew down from the horse's back, then spread the folding fan in his sleeve, and immediately followed the blackbirds spreading their wings all over the sky to catch up to the end of the mountain road. end.

The green shade in Fuze Mountain is very dense, and the flying trajectories of the group of puppet birds seem to be scattered and irregular. In fact, if you look closely, you will only find that their target locations are very single, and most of them have traces to follow.

Rong Yin had never seen what the so-called puppet bird was before, but thanks to his years of experience in subjugating demons, he was able to behave calmly and indifferently in the face of any unexpected situation—not to mention that Rong Yin himself was brave enough Big and careful, now that the tip of his eyes catches a glimpse of the immovable karmic demon marks on the heads of those black birds, he can guess that there is actually not much difference between them and ordinary monsters.

...Since this is the case, everything is still easy to handle.

Rong Yin is still unable to determine where the loopholes in the town originated. The only thing that can be further guessed is that the last time the statue was damaged in the ancestral hall, at least eighty percent of the time, it must be related to the appearance of the puppet bird. close.

He continued to climb along the mountain road, and when he passed the ancestral hall on the way, there was a short pause—but obviously, the goal of those puppet birds was not the ancestral hall or the statue, but to go to a deeper place inside the mountain forest. a place.

Rong Yin's journey was so long that the horses accompanying him couldn't keep up smoothly, so he was left alone in the forest with withered branches and withered branches.

But what was surprising in the end was that the nest or stronghold that the birds should occupy in his imagination did not appear in front of him as he wished.Instead, there is still a large area of ​​dead forest in Fuze Mountain that blocks the view, fallen leaves and branches after autumn, and... at the last point, outside the bushes that are nearly half the height of a person, there is a half-old hidden piece. Not new wooden monument.

On the stele, there is a tiny word "Rong" engraved crookedly, together with several small gardenia flowers that have been thoroughly air-dried, all of them are now withered and yellow, and they have been crushed into countless pieces by the rain and sand.

This is... Mrs. Cheng's tomb.

Rong Yin's eyes widened abruptly, with an inexplicable expression of disbelief all over his face.

And behind the long stele, there is another tall and thin figure leaning against it.

At that time, the man raised his shoulders and arms slightly, attracting nearly hundreds of puppet blackbirds in the mountains, spreading their wings and flying into the sky not far from him, or stopping to rest.

——Green gray gown, slightly white hair on the temples, and a long wooden crutch that never leaves his hand.

In an instant, Rong Yin's eyes moved slightly, and he called out almost subconsciously: "...Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng?"

No... that must not be Chengdaofeng.

The man turned his head when he heard the sound, but there was a pair of extremely dull and dark almond eyes, with a bit of fierce light hidden in them, round but sharp, as if hiding countless turbulent waves and undercurrents.

"No, you are... the brothel boy who followed Yinzhu last time." Rong Yin said with sharp eyes, "Why did you appear here? Those puppet birds that came out of the town were all made by Did you raise it by yourself?"

He paused, and then continued: "It seems that I am not thinking too much... You have appeared around Bi Yu Mansion many times, and you really have other plans."

The man did not speak.He was still concentrating on teasing the black birds flying around in his hand, and even caressingly caressed their wings with his hands.

Until the snow-white folding fan in Rong Yin's sleeve, like a knife point out of its sheath, suddenly unfolded in front of him—the man suddenly became alert, and at the same time raised his jaw, so that his completely pale face formed a smear in the shadow. Distorted arc.

Rong Yin asked again: "Who the hell are you? Pingchao City was robbed and imprisoned last night, probably because of your good deed?"

"Heh... the young lady in the brothel."

The man was finally willing to speak, but he said something that had nothing to do with Rong Yin's question.

"From this point of view, that little bastard has been wandering outside for many years by himself, and he has caused trouble for my old man..."

Rong Yin's expression became serious, and his tone became more urgent: "It doesn't matter whose father or son you are. Now that the puppet in human form reappears, it must have something to do with your actions. "

The man raised his eyelids slightly, and the black birds fluttering outside him also closed their wings and flew low between his knuckles, forming several dense circles from time to time.

After staying for a long time, Fang Fang said slowly, "Are you from the Rong family?"

Rong Yin said solemnly: "Rong is following orders, and will never allow any monsters with seals to disturb the safety of the people under Rong's eyes!"

But the man said to himself: "That's really embarrassing... Coincidentally, I didn't intend to let you die."

Rong Yin's nerves were tense, and he silently fastened the folding fan under his sleeves.

Hearing this, the man just turned his head and smiled, then lazily raised the crutch in his hand, and said meaninglessly: "Today, I want to see how much the so-called embroidered legs in the Rong Mansion are worth."

"Master, it's too dangerous, I can't stand it at all!"

Under the paper-thin barrier circle in Laifeng Town, the crowd panicked as if the tide was rushing ashore, it was so crowded and noisy that it was unsightly.

In the outer circle, there were 25 wooden puppets, which surrounded the roofs in all directions almost non-stop, casting their wolves and tigers' eyes on the panicked townsfolk in the barrier.

The god statue was destroyed, the capital was robbed, and the birds were attacking from the sky outside the town...

Everything in this unreasonable series seems to have been planned by people, but it happened so suddenly that people were caught off guard.

"It's Miss Li...it's definitely Miss Li who came back to seek revenge." Kang Wen said tremblingly, "We killed her father on Fuze Mountain before, but now that she has escaped, she must want to use a puppet to destroy our entire town! "

"nonsense!"

Cheng Daofeng slapped him on the back of the head, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "In the past, put on the talisman paper, repair the enchantment, don't think about what you have!"

Kang Wen frowned, and said more bitterly: "Master, I can't hold it anymore, why hasn't Senior Brother come back yet!"

Cheng Daofeng said: "What do you want him to do? Yin Chu went up the mountain to catch up with Rong Yin, and he won't be able to come back for a while!"

"Why did the master ask the brother to chase after Rongyin? Obviously, if he stays here, the situation will be better!" Kang asked puzzled, "Now that these puppets are about to rush forward, how can we ensure the safety of the townspeople? ?”

Huo Shitang said quietly beside him: "Don't ask Yin Chu to go, should I call you?"

Kang asked, "But..."

"Master, I think I can't hide the matter of the puppet." Huo Shitang interrupted him with a loud voice, and turned around to reunite with Cheng Dao, "If Dao Ming was not explained with a legitimate reason afterwards, these townspeople would go crazy. There is no guarantee that the entire Bi Yu Mansion will not be overthrown."

Cheng Daofeng still had a gloomy expression on his face, and said: "Don't panic, the most important thing is to save your life. These puppets are all controlled by people and have no self-awareness... they are just a bunch of wooden stakes, so don't worry too much."

Huo Shitang: "Then..."

Cheng Daofeng said in a deep voice: "It won't be a problem to hold on to the talisman paper barrier for a while, until the Rong mansion comes to rescue soldiers... None of this group of dying fish who slipped through the net will have a chance to escape."

"Where is senior brother?" Kang Wen interjected again inappropriately, "Will there be any danger with senior brother and Rong Yin?"

Huo Shitang immediately shouted: "Stinky boy, take care of yourself first!"

Cheng Daofeng said gloomyly: "Over there, before I went to the mountain to pay homage that day, I gave him an old talisman specially used to suppress the puppets - he has always been smart, and he must know in his heart how to do it." Do."

However, at this very moment, within Fuze Mountain, there is still a scene of flocks of flying birds overwhelming the sky.

Yin Chun rode up the mountain and didn't take two steps at all. He was surprised that the flight path of the puppet bird in the forest had changed. It was suspected that someone was fighting wantonly in the deeper part of the forest.

He didn't even think about it, he immediately dropped the accompanying horse, and took the path he wanted to reach the end of the bird's circle - but at this moment, his wrist was caught in the air, and he immediately moved back fiercely, trying his best to face the exact opposite Drag along the road in the direction!

Yin Chun: "...!"

"Hush...be quiet, it's me."

A familiar but faint voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Yin Chun turned his head, but he could only see a face as pale as paper, and a pair of dark almond eyes slightly drooping under the tense nerves.

It turned out to be Xie Hengyan who disappeared inexplicably this morning!

Yin Zhu couldn't believe it: "You..."

"Don't talk yet, follow me...I'll explain to you later." Xie Hengyan held Yin Zhu's hands tightly, and led him to hide and circle around the overgrown weeds.

For some reason, Yin Chun didn't let him go hastily, but was quiet for a while, following Xie Hengyan's footsteps, he felt his expression was stiff, never serious and cold, as if he was worrying about something, but more like Deliberately hiding from something.

The two walked very slowly along the way, avoiding all the puppet birds flying around on the top of the mountain, almost completely reversing Yinzhu's original target point, sneaking all the way to deeper and farther places in the forest.

At this moment, Yin Chun couldn't hold back anymore, and gradually became suspicious: "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Xie Hengyan said in a low voice: "...I will take you down the mountain."

crazy!

Yin Chun pulled his wrist away impressively: "I came here just to find out the end of the flock of birds!"

"It's not up to you, Yin Chun." Xie Hengyan frowned, and then went up to grab the hem of his clothes, "Don't look for the bird, you will lose your life... I'll take you on a detour, before it's too late."

When Yin Chun heard the words, he couldn't help but his voice became colder: "You mean... you know the origin and background of these birds?"

Xie Hengyan fell silent, and stopped looking at him, and turned to look at the loose and boundless bird shadow outside the sky.

Yin Chun said again: "You know."

But this time, he's speaking in a declarative tone, without even the slightest qualm.

"Yin Chun, I will never harm you." Xie Hengyan said suddenly, "...you believe me."
