no puppet

At dusk, the once quiet and peaceful town of Laifeng is still a chaotic scene surrounded by flocks of birds.

And it has been more than a few hours since Cheng Daofeng first opened the barrier outside the sky.The townspeople around started arguing and arguing without pause, but now it has gradually turned into extreme fear and uncontrollable restlessness.

Until then, a sharp and long whistle sound suddenly came from the top of Fuze Mountain.

The people trapped in the enchantment looked up quickly, only to see a black bird that was more majestic and ferocious than any ordinary puppet bird spread its wings, and suddenly cut through the sky full of clouds and clouds—then raised its head high, With its extraordinarily loud voice, it uttered another cry that resounded through the sky.

"What is that? Is it calling more companions?" Kang Wen was exhausted, but now he was alerted again in vain, and he couldn't help but collapsed, "These birds come in a flock again, and there is no need to wait for someone from Rongfu to rescue them." , we are afraid that we are going to die here!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cheng Miling grabbed his arm, "There is still a brother here, and the brother will come back to save us!"

Hearing this, Kang Wen inevitably felt a little more anxious: "Yes, brother is still on the mountain, and I don't know how he is now... is there anything wrong?"

At that time, Cheng Daofeng interrupted him coldly: "What does it look like to be trembling! You, who knows magic tricks, can be afraid of this appearance, and how can the other people in the town survive?"

Hearing the sound, Kang Wen glanced outward for a week, and found that most of the people huddled around him also had the same exhausted expressions.So he closed his mouth in a timely manner, and in the midst of uneasiness, he did not forget to mutter in a low voice: "I'm just... just a little worried."

Cheng Daofeng said: "There is nothing to worry about. The sky is falling, and with your master supporting me, I am afraid that you will die before me!"

Cheng Miling's eyes turned red, and she hurriedly called out, "Father!"

Kang Wen was also choked until his throat was slightly astringent, and when he turned his head he fixedly stared into Cheng Daofeng's eyes, but Cheng Daofeng still settled himself in place, silently supporting the top layer of his head with his old but extra powerful palms. A huge barrier covering everyone.

It turned out that his master had aged a lot before he knew it.But Cheng Daofeng is still like in his first memory, using his powerful and stable ability all the time to guard their entire town with due diligence.

And the stubborn and fierce appearance is just a way for him to express his love.

All of a sudden, Kang Wen turned his head away, and in a muffled voice, he said to Cheng Daofeng almost word for word: "I'm sorry, Master."

Cheng Daofeng did not give an answer, he was focusing on maintaining the enchantment at hand.

Cheng Miling said in disbelief, "It's so strange, what are you suddenly apologizing for?"

"I used to be ignorant, always mischievous, and always making trouble." Kang Wen said slowly, "If we can survive the disaster this time, I will definitely devote myself to cultivation when I return home, and try to do better than my senior brother." good."

Cheng Dao looked down at him, with some indescribably complicated emotions in his eyes.

Kang Wen took a deep breath and said, "Master, I..."

"Master, look at the sky!" The topic was suddenly interrupted by Huo Shitang, "The situation has changed, pay attention to the barrier!"

Cheng Daofeng immediately concentrated: "What?"

"It's the birds...it seems to be dispersing." Someone in the crowd said excitedly, "No...it doesn't seem to be, they are really dispersing!"

Kang Wen and Cheng Miling raised their heads at the same time, and sure enough, they saw the place where the big bird was flying around and singing, and the small group of puppet birds began to spread out in all directions at an extremely fast speed, just like sea water. Like the ebb tide, a large area disappeared from people's eyes, and some even failed to leave in time, and turned into a wisp of black smoke, just dissipated in mid-air without a sound, as if it had never been there in the first place.

"What's going on, aren't they going to eat us?"

"Why are they all gone... is Mr. Cheng's spell taking effect?"

"Hmm...Look, those big monsters lying on the roof are also leaving!"

Cheng Daofeng raised his eyes in response to the sound, but was extremely surprised to find that even Li Haishuang and the 25 puppets she had tamed also followed the trajectory of the collective disappearance of the puppet birds, and slowly retreated to a corner far away from the crowd outside the town. open.

It's like being affected by some order and eager to evacuate from the scene.

Kang asked in disbelief: "My God...they left just as they said, were they scared away by Master?"

Cheng Daofeng shook his head and said, "It's not me."

"It's the bigger puppet bird." Huo Shitang stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, "It just yelled in the sky for a long time, maybe someone behind the scenes gave an order to force them all to leave."

Kang Wen and Cheng Miling looked up again, and saw that huge black bird was still waving its wings and circling above the crowd, and there was a deep haze everywhere it reached, but it was reluctant to reach the ground, as if it was continuously monitoring Every move in the crowd.

Kang Wen couldn't help swallowing: "Who on earth is so powerful that he can raise such a group of terrifying monsters?"

"Who else could it be? It's probably some scum that wasn't cleaned up back then. It's just looking for an opportunity to make a comeback today." Cheng Daofeng sneered, and called Huo Shitang, "Housekeeper, bring me a bow and arrow!"

Without further ado, Huo Shitang took a longbow from the box he was carrying with him, snatched it when he became enlightened, and then placed a sharp arrow in it, drew the bow to the full string, and with a sound of "嗖", the tip of the arrow was like The roar of the tiger and the chant of the dragon, going forward without hesitation, instantly penetrated the mighty and powerful back of the big bird!

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help exclaiming: "Good arrow!"

When the words fell, Fang saw that the bird suddenly lost its strength, and fell straight down into the small open space in the middle of the crowd, and immediately fell to pieces.

"Ah! That strange bird fell down!"

"Where did this thing come from? ... It's too scary, don't get any closer!"

"No one has seen it before, so who knows?"

Cheng Daofeng dropped the bow and arrow casually, and shouted loudly: "Don't even touch it!"

The townspeople immediately retreated to the two sides, making way for the people of Biyu Mansion.

Cheng Daofeng stepped forward slowly, due to his excessive physical strength just now, he even needed the support of Cheng Miling and Kang Wen to walk with all his strength.

Huo Shitang bent down and lifted the big bird on the ground by its wings.But it has obviously lost its effectiveness, just lying quietly on Huo Shitang's arm, without even the most basic struggle and resistance.

Huo Shitang carefully caressed the small wound on its back caused by the arrow, and then applied a little force, breaking off the short wooden feathers on the top of its head to the widest part at once - then what was completely exposed in front of people was a hidden and Not too deep a karmic demon seal.

"It's a wooden puppet, sir." Huo Shitang said.

The surrounding townspeople let out a shocked sigh.

It was also the first time for Kang Wen to see such a strange monster.It is said that most ordinary monsters are living creatures with flesh and blood. Even the plant-like wood monsters have some human-like spirits to follow.

But these birds or people made of wood are a group of cold and terrifying dead things. With the support of a karmic seal alone, they can obey arbitrary instructions-no fear of pain, no fear of life and death, well deserved The description of the word "puppet".

"It's useless, this puppet came here to report the news, and has no plan to go back alive."

Cheng Dao lowered his head and glanced at it, and when he raised his eyes again, all the searching eyes around him were like dense insects and ants constantly biting every part of his body.

He knew that he still owed all the townspeople a reasonable and proper explanation.

The puppet will not attack the town for no reason. There must be some reason. It started from a war more than 20 years ago, and after many years of silent silence, it resurfaced again.

"Father." At this moment, Cheng Miling tightly clasped her father's wrist.

"Go up the mountain first, and we will talk about what needs to be said at the right time." Cheng Daofeng glanced in the direction of Fuze Mountain from a distance, "Rongyin and Yinzhu have not come back yet. Miling, you and the housekeeper arrange for the townspeople to go back and rest first Next, Kang Wen will come with me."

Rong Yin's body was accidentally discovered by the mountain people in the middle of the night.

At that time, the Asuka and puppets that invaded Feng Town had completely disappeared from the surrounding area of ​​the town. Only the traces of the fierce fighting in Fuze Mountain were extremely obvious. Most of the mountain residents were so scared that they could not sleep after returning home in the evening. Later, they simply gathered in the open space outside the ancestral hall, lit a fire, and kept it bright all night, so as to dispel the fear and anxiety brought by the evil spirits entering the town during the day.

Then something even more terrifying happened.

Some mountain folk left the crowd and ran to the edge of the woods to relieve themselves. As a result, after urinating, they suddenly poked something wet under their feet.At first, I thought it might be the corpses or feces of some small animals, but when I returned to the crowd and was illuminated by the fire, the series of marks on the soles of the feet were all covered with maroon blood stains.

——They walked all the way into the depths of the mountain forest, and finally found Rong Yin's body that hadn't been completely frozen in front of a tomb of clothes that no one had ever seen before.

At that time, his whole body was dirty, his wrists and neck were almost all wounds pecked out by bird beaks, some parts were close to rotten, probably due to excessive blood loss, his skin color was slightly blue.

But what directly led to his death was not the puppet bird's attack, but a stone sword that finally pierced through his heart.

No one can know where the puppet bird came from, but it is almost impossible for anyone in the town to know where the familiar stone sword came from.

It is said that when Rong Yin was carried down the mountain, Cheng Daofeng's expression was almost as ugly as that of the lying corpse.

——Because his lover Yinzhu, who went up the mountain together at the same time, is still missing.

The only thing left was a stone sword lying across Rong Yin's chest, which was a hurdle that he couldn't overcome no matter what.

This time he has no choice but to run into Xie Hengyan's arms~
