After the immortal disappeared

Is this an unknown monster, or...

or a transformed monster puppet? But no matter what, the mission of this bat seems to be to prevent any creature from approaching the mountain cellar.

Tian Yun became more and more interested.

But he did not send the beetles up to die, but let them lurk among the branches and leaves.

"Why is Mr. Tian sweating?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "Is this stewed fish too spicy?"

The maid next to him quickly handed over a warm wet towel.

Tian Yun took it and wiped his sweat, saying casually: "Yes, I can't eat spicy food."

He distractedly controlled the beetle to monitor the green door while chatting with He Lingchuan and Fan Shuang, which was not easy.

The beetle was very resistant to approaching the green door, and it was all up to him to force it. With such a two-tasting mind, he was a little tired after half an hour.

Hehe, he didn't know if there was another person in the world who could control so many insect puppets at the same time.

Fortunately, his waiting was rewarded. Just after the meal, the green door of the mountain cellar suddenly opened from the inside, and a person walked out.

This man has an ordinary face and messy hair. If he were thrown into the street, he would definitely be drowned in the crowd. He is a typical "one-shot" person, and others would forget him after seeing him.

But the ghost-faced monkey was lying on his shoulder, looking quiet and well-behaved.

And this man's skin was a little pale, as if he had not seen the sun for many years.

Tian Yun thought, is this his second target, Wei Yishan?

The man walked out slowly for more than ten feet, and a gray shadow flashed in the forest and got into his arms.

Tian Yun knew that it was the bat.

It seems that this is the owner of the ghost-faced monkey and the bat.

The man stretched and walked away.

Tian Yun wanted to send the beetle to continue tracking, but what annoyed him was that this man had walked out of the beetle's range of activity!

The activity radius of these insect puppets is within a few miles centered on Tian Yun. Once exceeded, the insect puppets will not be controlled by him.

But he is now with He Lingchuan and can't rush over to expand the beetle's search radius.

Damn it, damn it!

But he couldn't show his anger yet, and even praised the food in the villa for being delicious and rare.

It seems that he has to leave a hook for the next visit. Tian Yun then asked: "I may get another batch of black crystals in a few days. Will Master He accept it?"

"Yes." He Lingchuan smiled, "The price depends on the market, we'll see when the time comes."

"Okay."

Tian Yun then left with a large sum of money.

He Lingchuan wanted to see him off personally, so Tian Yun pretended to stumble before getting on the carriage, and supported himself on the ground with his hands, taking the opportunity to recover the pine cones in the soil. At this time, most of the beetles had returned to the pine cones, including the beetles that his apprentice lost in Yongquan Villa not long ago.

Watching the carriage he was riding leave, He Lingchuan winked at Wanqi Liang, who understood and quietly followed.

...

After Tian Yun left Yongquan Villa, He Lingchuan also asked Fan Shuang about Tian Yun, and then thought: "Did you just meet him yesterday?"

Fan Shuang was a little embarrassed: "I also think his request is a bit presumptuous, but he has a lot of good black crystals, and I heard that you have been buying them recently, so..."

He was also kind, so He Lingchuan patted his shoulder: "You did nothing wrong. I am very satisfied with buying this batch of black crystals for 700,000 taels!"

Fan Shuang's task was to introduce various people to him. Tian Yun just took advantage of this.

He Lingchuan asked casually: "By the way, how many plots of your homestead are left?"

"The best land in Shanghu District, there are two plots left." Fan Shuang shook his head, "I want to sell it, but my family strongly opposes it, so I have to give up."

He Lingchuan knew his thoughts very well, but still said: "It doesn't matter, Xiaoman will be full."

When Fan Shuang also left Yongquan Villa, Dong Rui just came out of the mountain cellar: "I heard that you dug up good wine today? Bring me a jar."

He Lingchuan immediately sent someone to bring him a jar of apricot wine. "How many days have you not slept?"

Dong Rui had a scruffy beard and a haggard face, with dark circles under his eyes. Those who didn't know him would think that he had spent three days and three nights in Cuixianglou to look so weak due to kidney deficiency.

"Three or four days? No, four or five days." Dong Rui scratched his head, snowflakes flying, and He Lingchuan stepped aside in disgust, "Oh, six or seven days, six or seven days!"

There was no sun or moon in the kiln, and he couldn't remember clearly.

"Take it easy, the storm in Tianshui City is approaching." He Lingchuan didn't want Dong Rui to look so desperate before the change came.

"I can't forget it, isn't it time yet?" Dong Rui pointed to the wine jar, "Give me a bowl now to relieve my fatigue."

He urgently needed to drink some wine to relax.

He Lingchuan poured him a bowl of wine, which was amber in color, with a faint fruity aroma, sweet and not spicy.

The wine was very smooth to the throat. Dong Rui gulped down three bowls in a row before throwing the bowl away and exclaiming, "Great!"

The former owner of Yongquan Villa didn't do well in business, but he was good at making wine.

As the first party, He Lingchuan was most concerned about his research rather than his health: "What have you achieved after so many days of seclusion?"

"In the past, when Xiao An had an emotional outburst, he would turn back into Tong Xuan's original body; then do you know when Tong Xuan will turn into Xiao An again?"

He Lingchuan shook his head. He already had a lot of problems to worry about, and he wouldn't think about such professional topics anymore.

"When its body was on the verge of collapse."

He Lingchuan keenly grasped the key: "You mean, Tong Xuan can't maintain his own body and needs the help of Xiao An's power?"

"Yes! I found that Tong Bi's body has been transformed by divine blood. It is also a demon puppet." Dong Rui said seriously, "All demon puppets have to face the problem of unstable body and short lifespan."

"Since Xiao An found the village where she was born, her body has been relatively stable. Then use my method to consolidate it and extend her lifespan." Dong Rui sipped the fourth bowl of wine slowly, "I found that her original consciousness and Tong Bi's are merging, which shows that her soul is naturally strong."

He emphasized again: "It is stronger than I have ever seen."

"So what?"

"I want to try whether this transformation process is reversible." Dong Rui's eyes lit up when he talked about the experiment, but his face was still ashen, which looked particularly weird. "This experiment I I've wanted to do it for a long time, but the soul power of all the demon puppets I've handled is too weak! "

"Wait a minute, what does reversible mean?" He Lingchuan could only understand it literally, "Do you want to remove the power of the divine blood?"

"Yes!" Dong Rui rubbed his eyes, "Tong Xuan is a shapeshifter, but Xiao An and I have been together for more than half a month, and I have never seen its third form. If I can change it back, its hidden dangers may disappear. "

"Change the demon puppet back to a monster?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "Is this really possible?"

"Even if it can't be changed back to a monster, at least it can weaken the influence of the divine blood." Dong Rui immediately said: "I originally used this method on No. 66, and it has been very successful so far."

No. 66 is the child-eating beast He Lingchuan gave him. This thing was obtained from He Jing, the cloud envoy of the Tiangong. The latter released several child-eating beasts in the Panlong Fantasy, but only this one did not respond and was intercepted by He Lingchuan.

After Dong Rui got it, he found that No. 66 was sleeping because it was too weak. Out of instinct, it rejected He Jing's request to fight.

The plan he gave at the time was to extract the effect of the divine blood, so that No. 66 could return to its origin and stabilize its body.

But that was because No. 66 had revived from a juvenile and turned back into an egg.

And for an individual like Xiao An, can the divine blood still be stripped?

Dong Rui continued: "But the success of No. 66 seemed to be short-lived. I did dozens of experiments later and couldn't replicate it. Until we found the Ghost King's Underground Palace in the Howling Forest, I found that Master Minghui was also doing related research. Although he destroyed the paper materials, the remains of the experimental body he threw in the landfill gave me a lot of inspiration."

Master Minghui also does this kind of research? Why?

"What will happen if it is done?"

"The soul of this Tong Xuan has long been gone, and its original consciousness has also been deeply integrated with Xiao An. If this transformation process is reversed, then Tong Xuan may be able to regain his original talent." Dong Rui emphasized, "There is a problem here. The soul of a person cannot adapt to the body of a monster. This is the iron law between heaven and earth, and no one can violate it. But Tong Xuan is very special. When it becomes a human, it is almost a person. Xiao An's "father" took advantage of this."

"Wait a minute!" He Lingchuan heard the problem, "If your transformation is successful, Tong Xuan changes into the appearance of other animals or monsters, can Xiao An still control it?"

"That's what I want to know!" Dong Rui's speech speed became faster, "It stands to reason that it shouldn't be possible. Otherwise, why did Xiao An hide as soon as Tong Xuan changed back to his original body? She used another way to avoid the laws of heaven and earth."

He Lingchuan said unhappily: "What is the point of this kind of research?"

Other monster puppet masters studied how to make monster puppets, but Minghui Zhenren and Dong Rui began to study how to turn monster puppets back into monsters. Are these guys bored?

"Of course they are." Dong Rui said seriously, "This is actually about the 'golden ratio' of the divine blood. Hey, you won't understand if I tell you too much."

Their conversation about the demon puppet usually ends with this sentence.

Dong Rui yawned: "No. 66 has been restless at night recently. Hey, is it night?"

The last few words were asked to the ghost ape. He himself lived a life of day and night reversal and had long lost track of time.

The ghost ape bared his teeth and nodded.

It was also disturbed by the noise. It also had dark circles under its eyes, but it was too hairy on its face so others couldn't see it.

"I keep an eye on it every day, it's so tiring."

"Even the hen hatching eggs doesn't worry as much as you do." He Lingchuan took out a box of winter melon sugar and salted pork biscuits, "It will be born soon, right?"

"Yes, when the melon is ripe, the egg will hatch alive. It just needs an opportunity." Dong Rui immediately grabbed a piece of biscuit to eat, "How is your place? Have you sold those residential plots in the upper lake area?"

"There are two left." He Lingchuan has his own calculations, "If we sell them all, it will attract too much attention."

Be well in August!
