Godly Dragon Guard

"I can't see anything, but are you a human or a ghost?" the skeleton asked.

"Of course it's a human! You...why can you still speak?" Shen Lang asked nervously.

Shen Lang always felt a little abnormal when people asked ghosts questions, but he was really curious. He had never encountered such a weird thing.

"Because I'm not an ordinary ghost." The skeleton said.

"Then what are you?" Shen Lang was a little confused.

"To be precise, I should be a puppet." The skeleton sighed.

"Puppet?" Shen Lang was even more surprised and asked doubtfully: "Then why did you..."

The skeleton said: "Humph, boy, seeing that you broke into this place, we are destined to be together. Let me tell you a story."

"Please...please speak." Shen Lang's eyelids twitched and he said immediately.

The skeleton tells the story of the past.

"More than two thousand years ago, there was a martial arts cultivator in the Transformation Realm. He accidentally obtained an ancient secret volume on puppetry. From then on, he couldn't control it and devoted his life to the study of puppetry."

"But time is short, and after knowing that he cannot break through the virtual realm, he is not willing to sit back and wait for death to come. Although a person can be reincarnated after death as long as his three souls and six souls are immortal. But for him, even if there is an afterlife, there is no The memories and emotions I have in this life are no longer myself! In the next life, I might become an extraordinary useless person."

"He spent the remaining fifty years of his life researching ways to make martial arts souls leave their bodies and attach themselves to puppets. To this end, he created countless humanoid puppets and tried countless methods..." The skeleton was not in a hurry. said.

Speaking of this, Shen Lang couldn't help but be a little surprised. The mummy on the island was probably the product of this man's puppetry.

"Seeing that the time of death was getting closer and closer, he became more and more anxious, and finally decided that in order to let his soul attach to the puppet, he would not hesitate to give up most of his cultivation. He worked hard and made He created a tall, handsome, domineering and majestic puppet and tried to turn that puppet into his new body." The skeleton sneered.

"Did it succeed in the end?" Shen Lang asked.

"What a success! How can I become like this if I succeed?" The skeleton cursed, and the "him" he mentioned was himself.

After calming down, the skeleton shouted: "At the last moment when I was about to die, I used a secret method to try to leave my body, trying to attach myself to this most perfect puppet body. The attachment was successful, but apart from speaking, this The body cannot move at all! As you can see, the poisonous insects here have long since bitten the flesh of my puppet, leaving only a skeleton."

Before Shen Lang could speak, the skeleton sighed to himself: "After many years, I finally figured out a truth."

"What's the reason?" Shen Lang asked.

"After all, it is impossible for people to go against the will of heaven. They will definitely die when the time comes. No matter what method they use, they cannot escape from death. Unless they can continue to break through the limits, there may be a glimmer of hope for immortality." The skeleton sighed.

"Although you can't move, you are equivalent to immortality now." Shen Lang couldn't help but say. In his eyes, what the skeleton has done can be called a miracle.

"You are too naive, I am not immortal. I have spent countless years here, and my soul is actually weakening day by day. Now I don't have many years left to live. And when my soul dissipates, that is The true soul is destroyed and can no longer be reincarnated," the skeleton said.

Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that he would still die like this.

"Senior, I'm curious about something. You said you are a master of transformation. Did you also practice in the secular world two thousand years ago?" Shen Lang couldn't help but ask.

"No, I was born in Linhai Tianshan." Skeleton said.

Shen Lang's eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "Didn't it say that masters of transformation realm can't pass through the barrier of Kunlun Mountain? How did the senior come to the earthly world."

"Hmph, it really has been too long ago. Thousands of years ago, not to mention the masters of the transformation realm, even the martial arts cultivators of the virtual realm could pass through the barrier. It may be because the teleportation power of the Kunlun Mountain barrier is constantly weakening, and eventually One day, it will be completely closed and no one can cross it," the skeleton said.

Shen Lang was shocked, it turned out that such a thing existed.

No wonder I heard in the past on Misty Island that the first-generation master of the Tianji Sect was a master of the Void Realm. He might have come to the earthly world before the Kunlun Mountain barrier weakened.

"Boy, what's your cultivation level?" the skeleton suddenly asked.

"The late stage of questioning." Shen Lang replied.

The skeleton seemed a little surprised and continued to ask: "How old are you?"

"Years." Shen Lang continued to answer.

"What!" The skeleton was finally shocked. He was a little surprised by his cultivation in the late stage of Wenjing Realm.

"Boy, for the sake of your being quite well-behaved, please accept me as your disciple immediately." The skeleton said unhurriedly.

"I already have a master, and I don't want to worship him anymore." Shen Lang shrugged.

"Ahem... I was a master in the late stage of transformation. As my apprentice, I can teach you the wonderful puppetry technique." The skeleton said immediately.

Shen Lang shook his head: "I'm not interested in puppetry."

The skeleton was a little disappointed and sighed: "Well, since you don't want to, I won't force it. In fact, after so many years, I have completely forgotten some martial arts skills, except for the puppet technique. But boy , you are more unlucky, the things in my cave have been emptied out by those incompetent disciples during my lifetime."

Shen Lang pointed to the mirror next to the jade platform and asked, "What is that mirror?"

"This is the Yuyang Mirror." the skeleton said.

"Jade Yang Mirror? What is its use?" Shen Lang asked curiously.

"It's of no use." The skeleton said calmly.

Shen Lang was speechless. It was useless and he chose such a mysterious name, making it look like he was powerful.

"Hmph, the useful things have been snatched away by my good-for-nothing disciples a long time ago. Can they still be left here? But although this mirror is useless, it has a function." The skeleton added.

"What function?" Shen Lang asked immediately.

"This realm can ward off evil spirits and eliminate filth, and it has a great restraint effect on ghosts!" said the skeleton.

Shen Lang scratched his head and asked, "What is a ghost?"

"I don't know what it is," the skeleton said.

"..." Shen Lang was completely speechless.

"Maybe, maybe, it's something related to ghosts, right? Ghosts are very afraid of this mirror, but ghosts are different from ghosts. I picked this mirror up in a secret place somewhere. It may have some other magical uses. You can take it back. , you can study it slowly in the future." Skull added.

"Okay." Shen Lang was a little disappointed. It seemed that there was nothing to gain.

However, Shen Lang still put this bronze mirror in his purse. (To be continued)
