After the immortal disappeared

He Lingchuan ignored him: "Did Cao Wendao have any dealings with Qingyang Supervisor in the past?"

"Well, I, I have been with Master in Shanjin Plain for twenty years, and I haven't seen him." Yang Chi thought for a while, "But I heard from my colleagues that Master used to be an official in Lingxu City, and he also worked in Tian , I stayed in Tiangong for a long time.”

"Heavenly Palace?" He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other, and immediately thought of the powerful beasts stationed under Zhaixing Tower.

Yes, since Cao Wendao is a powerful demon puppet master and was born in Lingxu City, he has probably done research on the beasts in the Tiangong.

In ancient times, powerful beasts could even fight against the great demons. When the Star-Zhaing Tower was burned down, Shen Yuan and Juju were inseparable.

Tiangong, Cao Wendao, Hu beast. These three are related together, which always makes people feel ominous.

"It seems they are old acquaintances." Then, Cao Wendao was probably hired by Qingyang to take He Lingchuan's life.

Yang Chi then added: "However, my master is actually more interested in the people around He Island Master. He believes that there is a colleague of ours hidden in Yongquan Villa, which is the demon and the demon puppet master."

Dong Rui's eyes flickered: "Why do you say that?"

"A few months ago, during the battle between the Situ family and the Ghost King in the Dead Village, a giant ape appeared. Master collected a lot of information and research, and thought it might be a demon puppet, although the craftsmanship is very rough..."

"What?" Dong Rui narrowed his eyes, "He said someone's craftsmanship is rough!"

He Lingchuan raised his hand: "Let him continue."

"The technique is relatively primitive, but the idea is interesting. Moreover, this kind of demon puppet is relatively independent and difficult to control. These are the original words of the master."

"Isn't an interesting soul better than his brainless insect puppet?" Dong Rui sneered, "Your master is so narcissistic."

Yang Chi Wei Wei Nao Nao.

These people all wear curtain hats, but this is probably the puppet master Wei Yishan, right? Even if he didn't show his true face, seeing how easily he could deal with several demon puppets, Yang Chi felt that he was a peer.

At this time, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, and the bright aurora illuminated the surrounding areas.

At this moment, the interior of the carriage was illuminated like daylight, and everyone's face was whitewashed.

Yang Chi was sitting on his knees with his head raised. Before he could turn his head, He Lingchuan saw a flash of green light in the corner of his eye.

Um?

The power of thunder passed in an instant, and the world returned to darkness.

Dong Rui glanced out the window: "It's going to rain. It's rare."

There is little precipitation in Tianshui City in winter, but the coming rain seems to be quite heavy.

Others wanted to hold the lamp, but He Lingchuan waved his hand: "No need."

As he spoke, two more bolts of lightning struck, in the shape of huge tree branches, brighter and more domineering than the first one.

After a while, I heard thunder rolling.

He Lingchuan kept staring at Yang Chi and saw another flash of blue light in the corner of his eyes.

Oh.

He just pretended not to see it and continued to ask: "Why are you interested in that demon puppet master?"

"According to the intelligence we received, Xiao An may have fallen into your...their hands." Yang Chi murmured, "Master has spent so much effort on Xiao An and really wants to get her back."

"Why did Cao Wendao inject human soul into Tong Xuan's body and make these changes?"

Yang Chi whispered: "The direction of our experiment is to make the body of the powerful monster closer to the human form. If we use Tongxiu, it will be done in one step and has research value."

Tong Xuan could become a human being, which would save many steps. Cao Wendao went directly to the next research link.

He Lingchuan glanced sideways at Dong Rui: "Human-shaped demon puppet, right? I find that you demon puppet masters have wild ideas."

Yang Chi: "Yes, yes."

Dong Rui wiped his nose and said nothing. He also studied humanoid demon puppets, but stopped midway.

He Lingchuan then asked: "It's enough to study Tong Xuan, why do we need to inject human souls into it?"

"Master said that the human body must be able to match the human soul for this research to be meaningful." Yang Chi said seriously, "Successful matching means that the human soul can direct the actions of the demon body. The soul is not crazy, and the demon body Not crashing."

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other, feeling strange: "So far, are there any successful examples?"

"Our most successful case is Xiao An. But Master judged that she only had less than half a year left to live when she escaped." At this point, Yang Chi was also curious, "She, is she dead or alive now? "

Dong Rui smiled but didn't answer. Who is asking whom now?

Wan Qiliang flicked the blade, and there was a soft clang sound. Yang Chi shuddered, remembering that he was the prisoner.

At this time, He Lingchuan suddenly said: "Pull over and lean against the bushes. I'll go down there."

Dong Rui asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"

"I drank too much water at night." In the middle of the sentence, He Lingchuan had jumped out of the carriage and disappeared behind the trees.

Several Yangshan guards also got out of the car and stood outside the bush to look out for him.

People have three urgent needs.

The night wind kept blowing into the carriage. A lock of Dong Rui's hair made his nose itchy, and he subconsciously reached out to scratch it.

But within two scratches, his movements suddenly stopped, and his eyes froze slightly.

This state lasted less than a breath before he returned to normal. So in the eyes of others, he was just looking out the window a little distracted.

Soon, He Lingchuan emerged from the bushes and returned to the car with two guards:

"Walk."

The carriage rolled and continued to drive towards Yongquan Villa.

He Lingchuan sat down and motioned for Yang Chi to continue.

"Master was furious a few days ago because he heard that Qiandufang's experiments were progressing faster and their experimental subjects lived longer than Xiao An!" Yang Chi recalled, "He kept yelling, saying that those people got the power of Imperial Master Shuangye Help.”

Frost Leaf Imperial Master? He Lingchuan didn't expect to hear Shuangye's name at this time, and couldn't help but be startled.

Yang Chi continued: "This is the most important task assigned to Master by Tiangong. If it is completed well, we can go back to Lingxu City!"

He Lingchuan's heart moved: "Wait a minute, are there other demon puppet masters in Tiangong who are also studying this?"

"Yes. As far as I know, there are four or five groups of people, all of whom are experimenting outside Bega." Yang Chi shook his head, "I don't know why it is like this, I just follow orders!"

Injecting the human soul into the body of a humanoid monster also requires the soul to adapt to the body and not collapse. This research target sounds weird.

Why do you have to make the monster into a human form?

Why inject human souls?

Why not let the human soul stay in the human body? Isn’t this kind of research unnecessary?

Dong Rui suddenly asked: "What's the next step?"

"ha?"

"If Xiao An's experiment succeeds, if she doesn't die or collapse, what experiment will Cao Wendao do next?"

"That's the next stage of the experiment." Yang Chi thought for a moment, "Master once said that the more powerful these demon puppets or beasts are, the better, but there must be a powerful soul to control them; conversely, Said, if the souls that control them are not strong enough, these demon puppets themselves will not be able to become stronger."

Dong Rui nodded, He Lingchuan and others were puzzled: "Why?"

Dong Rui immediately explained to them: "There is an essential difference between monsters and animals, and they also need to practice. After they are transformed into demon puppets, although they can use divine blood to forcibly induce distortion and induce increased strength, the price is also very high, that is, the soul Both the body and the body are very unstable. Only by finding a way to stabilize them can we try to use the divine blood to enhance the power of the demon puppet, so the enhancement of the demon puppet must be done step by step."

He Lingchuan thoughtfully said: "No wonder Cao Wendao is looking for a powerful human soul."

He stretched and said to Dong Rui: "Cao Wendao is cunning and cautious. After escaping from the Fenxiang Inn today, he doesn't know when he will show up again. This is a hidden danger that cannot be eliminated until it is eliminated."

"What do you think?"

"Xiao An!" He Lingchuan said seriously, "Let's use Xiao An as a tactic to lure him out of the hole!"

"A game?" Dong Rui was startled, "Bring her to Tianshui City? It will take a long time to go back and forth. Can you handle it?"

"It's a trivial matter. There are a group of guards around me, who else can I be afraid of?" He Lingchuan smiled, "I don't know how powerful Xiao An's bait is."

"Oh, don't underestimate the persistence of the demon puppet master." Dong Rui said seriously, "She is Cao Wendao's most important research result. As long as there is a little hope of recovery, Cao Wendao cannot give up; even if Xiaoan dies, she is in a dying state and performance can also be extremely important data.”

even if? Yang Chi, who was kneeling on the ground, widened his eyes when he heard this. What this meant was that Xiao An is not dead yet!

Then her survival period was much longer than seven and a half months! This achievement is amazing, breaking the record of Qiandufang!

"Great, I'll send someone to escort you back and forth." He Lingchuan never procrastinates, "Without further delay, you can set off early tomorrow morning. By the way, the original route cannot be taken. The river in the north of Mangzhou has been blocked and cleared, so we can't Take the boat."

The rivers were dry in winter, and many waterways and riverbeds were exposed. Yao State simply closed the water and cleaned up the mud.

Dong Rui scratched his head: "Then tomorrow morning I will bypass the south of Tianshui City and go west into Zhu County? This way I can also walk half the way by water and save some time..."

When he said this, he suddenly looked at Yang Chi.

"Okay, let's do it like this." He Lingchuan had just finished speaking when he suddenly heard a bang and felt something strange in his arms.

He reached into his arms and took out a Thousand Thousand Knots, broken.

"There's something going on at home, we have to go back."

This knot is a warning, which means that there is trouble in Yongquan Villa, and the owner of the village, He Lingchuan, needs to be there to solve it.

Dong Rui and the Soul Mirror said in unison: "Now?"

They have business to attend to, what a coincidence!

But if he returns late and finds out that He Lingchuan is not in the village, it will be a troublesome thing.

"Anyway, we still have some time, let's go back first." After saying that, He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows towards Wan Qiliang.

When the thunder is rolling in the sky, the outline of Yongquan Villa is already in sight.

"It stands to reason" that He Lingchuan was still in the bedroom of the villa and Dong Rui was still in his cellar. They couldn't just drive in openly.
