Panguan

***

The elevator that almost killed someone made a clanging sound and slowly went downstairs.

The group of people outside the door were paralyzed and stunned for a long time.

When I heard this, I lowered my hands to take up the thread. I turned around and saw Xie Wen standing by the railing, looking somewhere downstairs.

Just as he was about to go there, he heard a rough drake voice ask: "Are you a puppet practitioner?"

It’s Zhou Xu, this useless little snack again.

"No." Two words jumped out of his mouth when he heard it.

Zhou Xu was frightened by him: "No? Then what did you practice?"

When I heard it, I said saltily: "Turn the flower rope."

Zhou Xu: "..."

Are you toxic?

As soon as he did this, Zhou Xu's curiosity was wiped out, and only the desire to argue was left: "Can you make a puppet? A living thing."

none of your business. Wen Shi was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of bear stuff.

As a result, Xia Qiao, a 250-year-old man, couldn't bear to see others looking down on him, so he opened his mouth and said: "Of course."

Zhou Xu's eyes changed, revealing a bit of envy. But it quickly changed back to the state where the nose is not a nose, and the eyes are not eyes: "Really or not?"

Xia Qiao: "Why are you lying to me?"

Zhou Xu asked again: "Then how many puppets can you have at the same time?"

Xia Qiao opened his mouth, closed it again, and turned to look at Shi Wen. Because he doesn’t know: “Brother, what does a few puppets mean? Are the more puppets, the more powerful?”

"Nonsense!" Zhou Xu said in a coaxing manner, "Normal puppet masters only have one puppet. Whether they are powerful or not is judged by the length of time they have existed. A powerful puppet master can create more than a dozen puppets. Years or even decades. There are also abnormal ones, particularly awesome ones, who can make more than two human-like puppets at the same time. My uncle can do that, he can have six at the same time."

When hearing it: "..."

Here we go again, licking my aunt and uncle, but unfortunately he doesn’t recognize any of them.

Zhou Xu originally expected to get some envious looks after he finished speaking, but it was a pity that the two people in front of him didn't understand.

Xia Qiao was stunned for a while, and finally came to his senses: "You said that all normal puppet masters are one puppet, and only the most awesome ones can make two puppets at the same time. And you ask how many of my brothers can there be? What do you mean?"

Zhou Xu felt a little embarrassed from his questioning, sniffed and said, "I'm just asking. I didn't say that only my uncle can do it. As far as I know, besides him, there are several other people who can do it." Okay, but he is the one with the largest number right now.”

Xia Qiao: "What is the present?"

"It's the living inside,"

"So there were more before?"

"Yes." Zhou Xu may not feel ashamed to lose to his ancestor, but he didn't hide it, "The book says that the most powerful puppet master once had 12 puppets at the same time."

Xia Qiao had a "fuck" look on his face. He didn't really understand, but he still felt powerful from Zhou Xu's words.

"But those were things from the earliest days. They have been lost for a long time. It is impossible for anyone to do it now." Zhou Xu used disguised force to tease his uncle's cow.

Xia Qiao was still feeling emotional and asked: "The most powerful one is not the Patriarch, right?"

Zhou Xu's reaction was a bit weird when he heard the words "Master Patriarch", somewhere between fear, awe and not wanting to hear it.

He nodded, shook his head and said, "There is another one, one of the earliest descendants, who is also at the legendary level. His name is Wenshi."

Xia Qiao: "...who???"

His throat was broken, and he was slapped on the back of the head when he was sniffed.

Zhou Xu stared at him: "Are you so surprised? Are you sick?"

Xia Qiao turned to look at Wen Shi.

Wen Shi pointed to the few people who almost died and said, "It's too busy, so just send them back to stay."

After saying that, he turned to look at Xie Wen.

Xie Wen seemed quite interested in their argument. He listened for a while, looking a little lost in thought. He didn't know what he was thinking.

He quickly noticed Wen Shi's gaze but said nothing. Ren Wenshi stared at it for a while, then said, "Do you have any unspeakable request, do you have to look at me like this?"

When hearing it: "..."

He was about to speak, but when Xie Wen interfered, he shut up on the spot and turned away.

The elevator on the first floor dinged only then and opened the door slowly.

The old lady walked out with a sharp hook and moved forward little by little.

There were no lights in the mall's safety aisles, only green signs with the dimmest light. Wenshi pushed the door open and went down the stairs alone, wanting to go to the first floor to see what was going on.

Not long after leaving, I heard another door knock from above.

Xie asked's voice sounded in the quiet and cramped stairwell. It was low and pleasant: "Why are you walking so fast?"

"Why do you want to follow me?" Wenshi grabbed the handrail of the stairs and stopped.

"It's nothing." Xie Wen's voice came closer, "There are fewer people here, which should make it easier for you to talk."

Wen Shi watched the tall figure of the other party walk closer, only a step higher than him, and then the gentle and low voice sounded again. He said: "Are you hungry again?"

Chapter 22

When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment and denied it: "No."

Xie Wen didn't quite believe it: "Is it true or not?"

He didn't say anything when he heard it.

In fact, that's not what he wanted to say, but he couldn't stand it

The other party asked.

Maybe it was because the corridor was dark and quiet, or maybe Xie Wen stood too close and his voice was too low. He was a little bit unable to listen to what Xie asked and said.
