Puppets are expensive to manufacture and require maintenance. There are very few excellent puppet masters. Even if some people in the world use puppets as weapons, they are manipulated by silk magnets.The puppets in Senluo Villa are different from ordinary puppets. The puppets they make not only look like real people, but they can also act according to the state set by the puppeteer after installing the core, but they need longer repair time and more frequent maintenance than ordinary puppets.The puppets placed in the Yanshi Pavilion all need to be maintained and repaired by the puppet master again. After maintenance, they will be transported to the Xianhu Courtyard above the Tian Pavilion through the transmission mechanism, and then distributed to various places in the villa.

The puppet core is the top priority of the Mohist puppet art.

Today, the "exquisite heart" described in that ancient book is operating in the female puppet.Tao Mo cast his eyes on the female puppet who was sitting back in his seat again, and clenched his hands on the hilt of his sword, fearing that she would rush towards them in the next second.Behind him, Bai Wangyan covered the red mark on his wrist with his sleeve and nodded, "I am afraid that your father was dragged into the jade box by this puppet, and Tao Shaoxia's jade pendant was found from your father's clothes. Yupei, why did it land here? It’s just why did the murderer frame Tao Shaoxia?” With that said, Bai Wangyan’s eyes shifted to Tao Mo, and he frowned slightly, “Tao Shaoxia, don’t hide it anymore, why is this jade pendant It will be in the Tiange, I am afraid you are also very clear, right?"

"I..." Tao Mo showed such an obvious panic expression for the first time, which surprised Mo Bin next to him. The third young master let out an "ah" and muttered softly: "So Brother Tao really entered the Tiange , What's going on here? Who opened the lock of the Tiange mechanism..."

After all, he asked in such a straightforward way, Bai Wangyan's face was particularly gloomy, he reached out and knocked on the handle of the fan, and asked slowly: "I think Tao Shaoxia must have seen something extraordinary in the Tiange. something?"

Now that he has been guessed, the great guilt in Tao Mo's heart can't cover up the pitiful lie at last. He opened his mouth and said all the things he encountered in the Tiange with great difficulty. .It was the first time he heard the silent swordsman say so many words. The Third Young Master Mo couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise. I don't know if Tao Mo is talking in his sleep or suffering from hysteria.But Bai Wangyan's expression was extremely serious. He listened carefully to Tao Mo's narration, and his fingers clenched the handle of the fan more and more tightly, until his knuckles turned white.

In the end, Tao Mo intermittently told all these experiences to the two people in front of him. After all, his guilt like a dark cloud finally dissipated a lot, but his mood did not get any relief. After all, Bai Wangyan frowned and remained silent after hearing this, while Third Young Master Mo doubted the authenticity of this matter at all.

"I encountered an illusion at the beginning, and entered the Tiange by mistake while avoiding it?" Bai Wangyan squinted his eyes, "This illusion did not come out for no reason, it must have something to do with the person who opened the door. Tao Shaoxia, before seeing the illusion , did you hear anything, or smell anything?"

Tao Mo shook his head.

"This is strange. What can create hallucinations is either music, psychedelic incense or drugs... By the way," Bai Wangyan turned his gaze to Mo Bin, "I remember candles were lit in front of the Tiange?"

"Yes, there is a mechanism inside, and it will light up when people pass by." Mo Bin replied.

Bai Wangyan nodded: "Let's go to the Tiange again. By the way, since Tao Shaoxia said that this is the puppet exit of the Tiange under the Xianhu courtyard...then if someone comes out of the Tiange and finds a way to enter this secret room, they can Can you enter all parts of the villa through the secret room?"

At first, Mo Bin just shook his head and denied it, but suddenly his whole body shivered, as if he was suddenly awakened by Bai Wangyan, without saying a word, he just left the two of them and the puppet in the jade box, and came in a hurry to the entrance.

"What's wrong?" Tao Mo saw that he was flustered, as if something had happened.But Bai Wangyan made a gesture to stop his voice, and led Tao Mo towards the door.

Third Young Master Mo hurried to the entrance, but he didn't rush to open the door. He mouthed to the two behind him.

"Are there any other voices here?"

After getting no answer, Mo Bin was temporarily relieved, so he opened the door and went down the secret passage first. Tao Mo looked at Bai Wangyan, and didn't know what Mo Bin was guarding against, so he simply followed .

The secret passage was extremely quiet, unlike before, only the footsteps of the three of them could be heard, and even the sound of breathing was extremely clear.Mo Bin walked in the front. He seemed to be afraid of something, and his footsteps were so hasty that he almost tripped himself.The three of them quickly arrived at the corner of the secret road not far away, which was just a blind spot, but the closer they got to this place, the more gloomy Mo Bin's face became, even when he saw Mo Oak.Third Young Master Mo walked up to the wall in a few steps, stretched out his hand and pressed a few times on the edge of the wall, and suddenly, the wall retreated slowly, revealing the door inside, and he wrote on the door like a talisman. Looking at something, Tao Mo noticed that when he was writing, his fingers were trembling, as if he had been frostbitten by the door.Immediately, Tao Mo felt that something was wrong with Third Young Master Mo. Could it be that he built this door?

"This door was created by you, but you didn't do it." Bai Wangyan looked at the door for a while, and said.At the same time, Mo Bin's fingers froze, but he didn't answer, he just took two steps back, the mechanism turned and there was a clicking sound, the door slowly opened, and the cold wind blowing the three people's robes. ripple.In the wind, there was an aura that Tao Mo found quite familiar. He always felt that he had smelled this aura in front of the Tiange.

It's like the special smell on the puppet.

"As I said, I am not inferior to Mo Li in terms of mechanism skills, but "he" is much stronger than me..." Mo Bin stepped into the door, stroking the inconspicuous depression on the door with his hands , this door seems to be old, and the craftsmanship is a little rough, like a test product made by a fledgling mechanism engineer, but the hidden mechanism lock on it is extremely sophisticated, which contrasts with the naive appearance of this door.Tao Mo didn't quite understand for a while why the third young master of the Mo family, who has become famous in the Jianghu, would say that, but Bai Wangyan's expression was obviously not very good, but Mo Bin's next sentence made Tao Mo secretly strangeness.

"And I don't know that the trap door here can still be used." The third young master Mo put his hands into his long sleeves, and looked at the trap door as if looking at a childhood playmate, and there was a flicker in his eyes Missing slightly.

Bai Wangyan said lightly, "Actually, you already have the answer."

Mo Bin didn't answer him, but just shook his head vigorously, and walked forward: "Many years ago, two children accidentally discovered the huge secret road in this villa while playing around. To expand the secret passages that cannot be more familiar, relying on mechanism techniques, they want to extend the secret passages all over the villa into the Yanshi Pavilion, because they have been spying on the huge knowledge in the Yanshi Pavilion, they know , as the second son, it is definitely impossible to own these wealth, let alone get the key to the Yanshi Pavilion..." At this point, the third young master Mo swallowed with great difficulty, "Mo Yang and I have jointly developed an extension Entering the secret passage of Yanshi Pavilion, that is, through the secret passage here, I was able to sneak into Yanshi Pavilion for the first time and read the classics. But I also know that my father may have seen our little tricks After Mo Yang's death, I will completely seal this secret passage."

"Mo Yang is the real genius of puppetry. I'm not even one-thousandth of his. Besides, I was originally obsessed with mechanism art. If it wasn't for that fellow Mo Li, who ignored his father's expectations and insisted on abandoning Mohist puppetry, I should have been the one who joined Gongshu's sect and learned mechanism skills!" Mo Bin's voice echoed in the empty secret passageway, echoing like a shadow of nothingness, floating back and forth.

"Second brother died young, and left with his dream of inheriting the puppet art of the Mohist school, but the eldest brother does not want the family-inherited puppet art that made the second brother so obsessed, so I have to let me fulfill the dream of the second brother... But this is really true. Is this correct?"

"This secret passage was reopened after I sealed it, and many unexplainable things happened," Mo Bin said, the more excited his emotions gradually became depressed, and he could even hear a soft gasp, "Forget the words, you You're right, I should have an answer a long time ago... Perhaps, the second brother didn't die at all, but I don't understand why he wanted to kill his father, why he wanted to frame Tao Shaoxia, why he wanted to...why?"

why?

Bai Wangyan knew in his heart that his speculation would cause such loss and sadness to Young Master Mo, but when he saw his friend mourning so much, he suddenly regretted bringing up these thoughts, and quickly comforted him: "Everything is just speculation, don't worry about it. too excited..."

Looking at the two people coldly, Tao Mo began to get tired of Bai Wangyan's behavior again. In his opinion, the first person to suspect Mo Bin's second brother who died early was Bai Wangyan, but now he started to avoid it on purpose. Come to think of it, what's more, he really can't get used to Mo Bin's statement.

"Is there anything right or wrong? People live in this world, why do they have to cover it up? Third Young Master Mo, why do you say that you live with your second brother's wishes on your back?" Tao Mo said, "This is your own choice." The path of the puppet you made is as delicate as a real person. You obviously love puppet art, why do you push all your achievements to your second brother now? You are an excellent puppet master, and the art of mechanism is also excellent .”

Before Tao Mo finished speaking, Mo Bin was so surprised that his eyes popped out, and even Bai Wangyan covered his mouth with a white fan, his eyes were full of surprise and a trace of undetectable approval.

"I, it's really the first time I've heard Brother Tao say so many words..." Mo Bin was stunned for a moment. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, sighed, and continued slowly: "Originally I'm not interested in puppetry, but now I like it very much, but if I say this now, maybe I don't respect it... What Brother Tao said is very true."

Bai Wangyan moved his eyes to Tao Mo, and he had a new understanding of this taciturn swordsman, but when he met the other's eyes, he was rejected by Tao Mo's slightly cold eyes. Panic suddenly appeared, as clever as Bai Wangyan, he suddenly guessed the reason for Tao Mo's attitude.Tao Shaoxia, who was straightforward, hated his attitude of doubting and then softening and persuading just now, even though the object of suspicion was not someone they had met.

It's surprisingly straightforward.
