Every day the puppet is playing dead

The two walked back to the town one after the other.

When the soldiers at the city gate saw Chongyu coming back, his eyes lit up at first, and the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily;

But when Chongyu really came to him and was about to enter the town again, the soldier suddenly stopped him:

"If you don't...the Lantern Festival is actually nothing to see."

At this time, the phantom in the town had stopped moving. She stood tall on the spot with kind eyes, bent slightly, opened her eyes, and stared at the entire city.

Ever since Chongyu entered the town again, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that there was a line of sight falling on him from above.

Hearing what the soldier said, Chongyu was a little surprised. He stopped, and his expression still looked natural at first glance.

He smiled at the soldier, waved his hand, and said:

"It's okay, am I with my companion?"

Hearing the word "companion", the soldier passed Chongyu and glanced at Wan Tengbai who was standing not far from Chongyu.

When the two looked at each other, Wan Tengbai turned his head, and he looked at the soldier calmly. In the end, he was still in the soldier's probing sight, and returned a friendly smile to the soldier.

But the smile was useless. On the contrary, the soldier shuddered at Wan Chengbai's smile, and then the soldier hurriedly looked away, nodding to Chongyu indiscriminately:

"Okay, okay, it's fine."

After saying this, the soldier hurriedly left as if something was chasing after him.

Chong Yu:?

Seeing that the soldiers were so terrified, Chong Yu subconsciously looked back at Wan Tengbai, wanting to see what kind of state Wan Tengbai was in right now, and how he could scare others.

But when Chong Yu looked back, he only saw Wan Tubai's innocent face.

Wan Tengbai put away his smile, and made an extremely innocent expression of bewilderment, then he came over, moved closer, and asked:

"what happened?"

Chongyu retracted his gaze, tried not to move his head up to avoid meeting the sight from the top of his head, and at the same time lowered his voice, and replied:

"It's nothing."

After thinking about it, Chong Yu couldn't help asking:

"Do you know that soldier? Or does that soldier know you?"

"do not know."

Wan Tengbai said, "But I came to town a few days ago, maybe he saw me at that time."

"His reaction was kind of weird."

"Who knows, maybe he has ghosts in his heart."

Wan Tengbai said meaningfully.

"What do you care about other people?"

The two had been standing at the gate of the city talking, and Yaoying was a little dissatisfied.

Chongyu's arms suddenly moved a few times, and Yaoying's voice came from inside the skirt, small and shrill:

"Did you feel it? That evil spirit, she...she has been watching you all the time."

There is no need for Yaoying to remind her, Chongyu has felt her scalp numb until now.

The sight above his head was like the tip of a needle. Although there was nothing real, it still made him restless.

"I know."

Chong Yu said.

He turned his head flat, pretending to look around him naturally.

They were on the street, and the small town was very lively during the Lantern Festival. Countless people gathered together, holding lanterns in their hands, and walked past him, cheering and playing.

There were so many figures that it was impossible to see who was who inside.

Wan Tengbai also heard Yaoying's voice, he got closer and closer to Chongyu, and finally stood close to Chongyu, and suggested in a low voice:

"Let's go to a remote place, so that evil spirit can be easily attacked, and we can meet her."

When Wan Tengbai was talking, Chong Yu felt that Wan Tengbai was standing too close to him.

When Wan Tengbai spoke, his moist and warm breath brushed against his cheeks, making the patch on his face hot.

Pretending to be calm, Chong Yu shook her head, turned her body and took a step to the side, and distanced herself from Wan Tubai again to avoid the unspeakable embarrassment:

"Need not."

"Is it?"

Wan Tengbai valued Yu's deliberate actions, and made an aggrieved expression,

"Do you hate me so much?"

In the eyes of outsiders, Wan Tengbai is a young handsome guy full of vigor and sunshine. When he makes an expression of grievance, it really hurts people to the apex of his heart, and he wants to go forward and rub his face. Kindly tell him not to be angry.

This move, no matter before or after crossing, Wan Tubai has used it countless times relying on his good skin.

Facing men, he will show weakness to show his innocence and stupidity, and avoid competition from men;

To women, he will show his fragility and helplessness, and arouse women's love for him.

"It's not a matter of hating it or not."

Chong Yu returned angrily, "Okay, stop pretending."

"Ok."

Wan Tengbai regretfully put away that expression that was not in line with his status, and he complained,

"Chongyu, you have really changed."

"Come on, who always used this trick to make me do housework?"

Chong Yu snorted.

After using the same trick too much, it is naturally useless.

Wan Tengbai froze for a moment, his eyes drifted for a moment at a certain time, as if he fell into memory in a short time.

After a few seconds, Wan Qibai came back to his senses, and he smiled lightly at Chongyu, this time it seemed that he had removed his disguise:

"makes sense."

I always feel that if I continue talking, something strange will happen.

Chong Yu didn't want to continue this topic, he quickly raised his hand, touched his left eye, then closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the vision in front of him changed by the way——

Everything in the entire field of vision turned into a blue phantom.

These phantoms are still moving and moving, no different from normal times, but in Chongyu's field of vision, besides the normal scene, there are countless illusory smoke in the scene spreading into the distance among the crowd.

This is another perspective.

Chongyu used this perspective before in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, but he was still not used to it, so he blinked again and subconsciously raised his head to look at the phantom in the sky.

The phantom of the green human figure that enveloped the whole city distorted and deformed in Chongyu's vision. It was no longer a complete human figure, but turned into a cloud of green mist at this moment. Omitted, blurred into a ball.

This is actually the essence of phantoms. No matter how human-like they become, they are still shaped by a mass of spiritual power.

And in this green mist, there are countless tiny air currents churning and agitating in the human silhouette, as if they want to break through, but in the end they can only be imprisoned obediently.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing Chongyu's strange movements, Wan Tubai asked.

Chong Yu didn't answer immediately, he subconsciously used this vision to look at Wan Chengbai, but saw something strange——

There is nothing strange about Wan Tengbai. He is no different from other people in Chong Yu's eyes, and the direction of spiritual power in his body is also very normal, but...

Strangely enough, Chongyu saw something like an iron chain wrapped around Wan Tubai's body.

The reason why it is said to be "something like an iron chain" is because Chongyu can't tell what that thing is wrapped around Wan Tengbai's body.

That's definitely not a "chain" because it probably doesn't exist, it's more like a bondage.

The "iron chain" is a phantom. When Wan Qibai breathed, the "iron chain" was always indistinct, and it kept trying to tighten it, but every time it shrank, there seemed to be a transparent layer on Wan Qibai's body. The barriers are average, firmly blocking the "iron chains";

Every time the "iron chain" comes into contact with the barrier, Wan Tengbai's body will glow with a blurred light, and the "iron chain" will disappear at this time.

After a few seconds, the "chain" will appear again.

This kind of process has been repeated all the time, and the "iron chain" and the barriers on Wan Tengbai's body ebb and flow, forming a strange game situation.

Chong Yu watched the whole process, he was very curious, did Wan Tubai himself know about this situation?

"Chong Yu?"

Seeing that Chongyu hadn't spoken for a long time, and was still staring at his chest with a strange realization, Wan Bai tilted his head, and he followed Chongyu's gaze and looked down at his chest.

In the eyes of others, including Wan Tengbai, there was nothing in his chest.

"What's wrong? Are you envious of my good figure?"

Wan Tengbai withdrew his gaze and joked that before he could tease Chongyu, he deliberately made a chest-puffing gesture.

Chong Yu: "..."

Rolling his eyes at Wan Chengbai, he said perfunctorily:

"Yeah, you're in good shape."

After finishing speaking, Chong Yu did not forget to make up the knife:

"If that evil spirit wants to become a man, I suggest that she dismantle you as a material right away."

Wan Tengbai: "It's too much~~ Chongyu, you are not gentle."

The two joked like this, as if they were back when they were roommates before. They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere eased a little, and Chongyu also relaxed a little, but he still didn't dare to tell Wan Tengbai what the other world looked like in his eyes, and he didn't dare to ask Wan Tengbai what the chains wrapped around him were. What.

Both of them have their own secrets, and both of them are very clear that those secrets are the negative scales in each of them, so they both avoid talking about them tacitly.

"I've searched around in this town before, and found a few places where the evil spirit might have settled down. Why don't you go there first?"

Wan Qibai said.

This kind of proposal is too considerate for ordinary people, but it is not necessary for Chongyu.

For him with special vision, his left hand left traces all the way. In his eyes, those traces were shining, and he wished he could light a torch at night to guide him to a place. .

After thinking about it again and again, Chong Yu wanted to politely reject Wan Qibai, so he turned to look at Wan Qibai.

But when he turned his head like this, Chongyu didn't expect that when he saw Wan Tengbai, he also accidentally saw the phantom above Wan Tengbai's head.

The green phantom changed poses.

She slightly twisted her body position, but Chong Yu didn't pay attention to where Wan Tubai was standing. When she raised her head, she just saw two faces.

Under a specific angle, the light and shadow change, and Wan Tubai's expression coincides with the green phantom above his head for a few seconds——

It seems to be looking at him, but there is nothing deep in the pupil.

Such Wan Tubai suddenly became very strange again.

Chong Yu turned his head slightly, avoiding Wan Tengbai's sight. He felt the curse seal on his left wrist gradually becoming hot, as if his mood was ups and downs. He tried his best to maintain his calm tone and said:

"How about this, I have something in the inn, let me go back first and get it back."

Because he looked sideways, Chong Yu didn't know what Wan Tubai's expression was. He heard a chuckle, and Wan Tubai replied:

"Why do you still like to lose everything when you do things. Well, do you know the pharmacy in the east of the city?"

"know."

"I'll wait for you there."

"Ah."

Chong Yu nodded, turned and left.

He didn't dare to quicken his pace, lest Wan Chengbai find out that something was wrong.

Before the Lantern Festival, Chongyu still disliked the fact that there were too many people in this town, but now under the watchful eyes of Wan Tubai, he was glad for the first time that there were so many people on the street, so that he could hide his somewhat embarrassed figure.

After passing two street corners, Chongyu let out a long breath, turned his feet, quickened his pace, and walked quickly towards the north.

"what are you doing?"

Chongyu's bosom bulged a few more times, and Yaoying's small voice came from inside,

"Aren't you going to the inn? Where are we going?"

The entire city is shrouded in phantoms, and the giant green phantom looks down from a height, and it can basically see the appearance of the entire town;

As long as it is in a town, there is basically no place to hide, and every move of people can be seen by it.

Under the surveillance of Phantom, Yao Ying didn't think it was a good thing for Wan Tubai and Chongyu to separate.

If the two of them were caught, it would be impossible for Yaoying to succeed in revenge.

"Go straight to my hand."

Chongyu said that he kept walking, for fear that if he hesitated, Wan Tubai would catch up and ask him where he was going.

Her bosom bulged again, Yaoying couldn't help raising her voice, and exclaimed:

"Did you get rid of Wan Chengbai on purpose?"

Chongyu was noncommittal.

"Why? Aren't you companions? He has been looking for you for a long time."

Yaoying didn't understand.

She always thought that Wan Tibai was a good person, but in her contact with Wan Tibai, from the stories Wan Tibai heard, Yao Ying always thought that Chongyu was the partner Wan Tibai had been looking for, the last Important person.

Since the relationship between the two is so good, why did Chongyu get rid of Wan Tubai?

"Tsk tsk, you have been tricked by others, why don't you understand people's hearts?"

As Chong Yu walked, he clicked his tongue in amazement, and at the same time, his eyes darkened.

"He wants to find me, and he wants to use me is not contradictory."

You must know that Wan Tubai is the leader of the Xiuxian League.

If Wan Tengbai really wanted to meet a friend he hadn't seen for a long time, was it necessary for him to choose such a dangerous place?

Why did Wan Tengbai not choose to use the people and property of the Xiuxian League to get rid of the evil spirits here before meeting, knowing that this place is dangerous?

How this town was manipulated by Wan Tengbai, under careful consideration, I always feel that Wan Tengbai deliberately set it up.

This round should not be fatal, but it has a purpose.

After hearing what Chongyu said, Yaoying stopped talking, and she lay obediently in Chongyu's arms without saying a word.

After a while, Yaoying muttered: "I don't understand, I really don't understand, is it so complicated to be a human being?"

Of course it's complicated.

Chong Yu secretly sighed, he thought, every old friend he met was extremely complicated.

Chong Yu didn't walk around randomly either, he was always following in his field of vision, following the marks left by his right hand.

It's funny, but he didn't expect that one day he would use such a strange way to find his own body parts himself.

The trail of spiritual power in his field of vision is more like the resentment after his body part was taken away. This resentment does not linger and echoes with the subject in its own unique way.

Fortunately, it is the Lantern Festival, and there are no taboos in the whole town. Everyone didn't say anything when they saw Chongyu walking around. They just glanced at Chongyu and continued their carnival.

Some people glanced at Chongyu with pity. Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the first day of the Lantern Festival was a sumptuous dinner for outsiders.

Since strangers are going to die the next day, it doesn't matter what they want to do on the first day, as long as they don't stay out of town.

It is kindness to have fun one day and die the next.

While listening to the scalp-numbing voice, Chong Yu followed the traces in his vision without changing his face.

The trail passed through the entire town and extended to the north of the city.

The farther north the city goes, the fewer people there are and the less land there is.

After chasing the trail and reaching the end, Chongyu saw a wine shop.

The winery is small, located on a piece of high ground at the corner of the city wall.

There were basically no people nearby, and everyone went to the center of the town to see the lanterns. There was only a lantern hanging on a tree by the roadside, emitting a dim light.

There was an open door to a thatched hut outside, and it was dark inside. Next to the door was a pile of distiller's grains left after brewing.

There is a path next to the thatched house that can go around to the back of the house, and behind it is a small yard with several pots in it.

There is a big word "wine" pasted on the door of the thatched cottage. The whole piece of paper was supposed to be red, but because of the long time and the wind and rain, the red paper turned into a piece of paper with a pink background. .

Chong Yu stood at the door and waited for a while, but he didn't get anything, he only heard the "whoop" sound of the paper being hung on the door panel when the wind blew past the door.

It really looks like no one is here.

Chong Yu thought for a while, and he followed the path, ready to go to the back of the house to have a look.

"Xiao Langjun, why come here alone at night, I'm so scared~~"

And at the moment Chong Yu left, he had just turned sideways and looked away from the dark thatched hut when suddenly a charming and sweet voice came from not far away.

Chong Yu stopped, and he looked in the direction of the sound.

At some point, there was a woman in green at the door of the thatched cottage, leaning against the door with a smile, looking at him.

The woman in the green dress has a gentle and dignified appearance. If one ignores her frivolous tone, people will think that she is a well-educated lady when they first look at her;

It's a pity that she is not what people imagined, with a huge contrast——

Her tone was angry and resentful, she said she was afraid, but in fact it was more like flirting with someone;

The behavior is also extremely coquettish and charming, with spring/love in her eyes, when Chong Yu looked over, she smiled ambiguously at Chong Yu, raised her sleeves, revealed a plain white hand, and stroked her cheek , slowly slid down, and finally placed it on his chest.

Chong Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he almost stared at the woman's chest intently.

"Xiao Lang-jun, don't look at my sister with such eyes, I will be shy~~"

When the woman in green saw Chongyu's appearance, a smile flashed in her eyes. She turned sideways, and put the right half of her body over the threshold, facing Chongyu.

"That hand..."

"Ok?"

"This place is really nice."

Chong Yu's eyes moved upwards, he looked at the face of the woman in green, and said with emotion,

"really good."

The remoteness and sour smell of the vat make it a good place to hide body parts.

"Hate~~"

The green-clothed woman coquettishly said, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, does Mr. Xiao Lang really want to do something with my slave?"

"enough!!!"

A cloud of fire suddenly rushed out of Chong Yu's arms, and Yao Ying couldn't bear this flirting atmosphere anymore.

Like a moth to a flame, after Yao Ying came out of Chong Yu's arms, she rushed towards the woman in green.

It's just that she was too small, and a bright light flashed across the air, like a shooting star.

When the woman in green saw Yao Ying rushing out, her expression changed suddenly, and with a wave of her hand, a gust of wind was born out of thin air and blew directly towards Yao Ying.

The wind is not too strong, but it is enough to blow away a small one.

Yaoying was aggressive at first, but when the wind blows, she immediately rolls and flies backwards, there is nothing she can do;

Chongyu finally realized at this time, he immediately stepped forward, rescued Yaoying who was blown away by the wind, and held it in the palm of his hand.

The woman in green obviously didn't want to fight with Yaoying. After the wind blew Yaoying away, she put away her charming expression, straightened her hair, and said lazily:

"Oh, Yaoying, I finally learned how to be good this time, and I found an assistant~~ I'm so scared~~"

This made it clear that Yaoying was not taken seriously.

Yaoying was blown hard by the wind, and when she was caught by Chongyu, she accidentally flipped a somersault on Chongyu's hand;

If it hadn't been for Chongyu's sharp eyes and hands to block it, Yaoying would have fallen down by accident.

Now, after finally getting up from Chongyu's palm, Yaoying was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at the woman in green and roared angrily:

"You bastard!!!"

Facing Yaoying's accusation, the woman in green smiled instead of anger. She looked at Chongyu and asked:

"Why, are you the fairy teacher she invited to destroy the slave family?"

Chong Yu didn't answer.

He is not even a human being, so what do you mean by "immortal teacher"?

So Chong Yu changed the subject and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Yao Ying tremblingly stood up from Chong Yu's palm, she stomped her feet, and immediately retorted: "I don't know!!!"

The woman in green gave Zhuan Yu a wink and said, "I know you~~"

Seeing Chong Yu, the woman in green didn't start shouting and killing, so she took a few more glances at Chong Yu.

After these few glances, the woman in green seemed to have seen something strange, and the way she looked at Chong Yu suddenly changed:

"you are not human."

"Uh...probably not."

Chong Yu froze for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Seeing Chongyu's admission, the woman in green became serious, and her soft and boneless body stood up straight:

"The imprint on your body... I know that you are a living puppet."

Chong Yu nodded: "Yes."

A golden light appeared in the eyes of the woman in green. She looked at Chong Yu as if she saw a gold mine:

"Do you know the puppet master? There are still puppet masters now? Do you know where the puppet master is?"

Chong Yu looked at the woman in green vigilantly: "Why are you looking for the puppet master?"

"Of course it's the same as you."

The eyes of the woman in green burst out with desire, and she took a step towards Chongyu uncontrollably, "I want a body like yours."

She left the wooden door she was leaning against, revealing the other half of her body hidden behind the door——

The other half of the body is empty.

No left arm and leg.

Judging from the "feet" exposed under the skirt, the thing supporting the woman in green is a rough piece of wood.
