How to break the soul when being taken away by a couple of monks

The territory of Zining Xianzong stretches for thousands of miles. If a mortal walks around, he does not know how many days and nights.The higher the monk's cultivation level, the fewer the number of people. Most of the monks and mortals in the foundation building period of the Qi refining period still have to live. Trading in the city.

The city of Xiuzhenfang here is called "Fuyufang".As the puppet conference was approaching, many monks seized the time to strengthen the puppets, or to check for gaps and make up for the omissions. They were in urgent need of materials and could not attend to the famous mountains, rivers, rivers, lakes and seas, so they bought them with spirit stones in this square city, or bartered them.Many monks also took this opportunity to take out their idle materials, planning to sell them for a good price.

There are even some monks who have neither spirit stones nor materials, but have ideas.These people try to lobby around, seek help from others, and put their ideas into practice, and the benefits are equally divided.

For all the above reasons, it seems that Fuyufang is full of people coming and going, bustling and lively.

On this day, two young men in green clothes walked side by side and entered the workshop.

One is taller and thinner, the other is more plump, each wears a jade jade around the waist, and the brown silk ribbon is tied with a wishful knot, which shakes slightly when walking.

Both of them have cultivation bases in the middle stage of foundation establishment, and they felt many bright or dark eyes sweeping towards them in no time.

"Why are there so many people staring at the foundation building period?" The plump young man's lips moved slightly, he was Yu Zhigui.

"... Is there?" The taller and thinner boy didn't care, he was naturally Xi Changtian who didn't know much about the world.

"There is nothing wrong with the Yujue puppet, it can only be due to other reasons." Yu Zhigui said again, he checked his cultivation, and it was indeed covered up as a foundation building period.

"what reason?"

"I don't know."

"Then ignore it."

"But where we're going..."

"What's wrong with where you're going?"

"...It's not always easy to attract attention."

"...It's good to hear." Xi Changtian said.

Yu Zhigui this time is really "the wind is jittery, and the grass and trees are all soldiers".

He is not thick-skinned, and it is already his limit to go to the book store to buy picture albums with the Taoist couple who have established a relationship.Therefore, he was worried, and everyone he met would feel that the other party was staring at him for something deep, and he had completely seen through his intentions.

Xi Changtian didn't know what Yu Zhigui was thinking, he approached him, and raised a finger... "Your little finger hasn't been born yet." He said distressedly, "It's been a long time, why don't you use the bone pill? "

"Every time I use it, the ear canal has to be closed once. It's just a finger. It's too troublesome." Yu Zhigui didn't care, "I still want to learn from your puppet arm and give myself a puppet finger."

"Okay... the puppet finger I can think of two ways to make it now, one is to remove it from the puppet arm, and separate the talisman array separately, which has superficial functions; the second is to redesign, after all, the little finger is inside the puppet arm as a whole, The functions that can be played are not very important, why not make a more refined one, and then combine other functions, what kind of fingers do you need? Storage? Detection? Flying? Memory?”

When it comes to puppets, Xi Changtian naturally talks more.

When Yu Zhigui saw him beaming with joy and making witty remarks, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relaxed.

While the two of them were talking, they continued to march towards Fangshi until half an hour later...

"So you don't know the book shop?"

"I haven't been here for hundreds of years..."

"This...it's not easy to ask people." Yu Zhigui put his hands in his sleeves and made a decision. After a while, a few swallows flew across the sky.

Follow the direction of Yanzi, cross the streets and alleys, and come to the door of a "Yinyun Pavilion".

Most of the bookstores in the cultivation world exist in the form of jade slips, and less of them are paper, with a variety of contents, including everything except mental methods.

——The mental method has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is the foundation of a sect. Whether it is to reveal the mental method of the sect or to learn the mental method of another sect, it is a betrayal of the teacher.

At this moment, the monks were busy making puppets, and the trading of puppet materials was in full swing, but the book shop was quite deserted, with only a few people.

When Yu Zhigui walked into the book shop, he saw that the jade slips and books were classified into different categories and arranged according to different titles. Among them, under the item of "puppet", it was divided into two categories: "material" and "composition". most.Others, such as biographies, legendary historical facts, etc., are hardly cared about.

All the books can be taken down freely, except that there is a railing in front of a bookshelf in the corner, and a wrestler puppet stands guard at the only gap in the railing. If a monk wants to enter, the wrestler puppet will stretch out his arms to block it for a while.

However, even then, people still walked in and out from time to time, without lingering, they often took a jade slip or a book in a hurry, and directly threw out spirit stones to settle the bill.

There is a pair of couplets hanging on the left and right above the bookshelf. On the left side, it says "Heaven and man work together to collect medicine and return to the pot", on the right side it says "Zhizang Qi acupoints and all the wonders return to their roots", and the middle four characters "Gentleman's living room".

It should be there, Yu Zhigui stepped forward slowly - was intercepted by the wrestler puppet.

The rest are puzzled.

The wrestler puppet pointed to the fence, and there was a line of small words on it: "Under the age of [-], no entry is allowed. If the puppet misjudged the age, please inform the shopkeeper."

On the twenty-eighth day of the man, the kidney qi is full, and on the twenty-seventh day of the woman, the sunflower arrives. It is an adult before he can perform the rituals of the Duke of Zhou and do the things of Dunlun.Immature human body damages kidney qi, which not only affects cultivation, but also affects lifespan. In order to prevent people from disturbing the book shop by such excuses, the owner of the book shop added a screening method in advance to stop people from talking.

Twenty-eight is a 16-year-old.Yu Zhigui touched his face, is this face so tender?

He turned his head to look at Xi Changtian, who took a step forward—the puppet didn't stop him.

However, even after entering, Xi Changtian did not continue to look for the book, but circled around the wrestler puppet: "Is it judged only by the appearance? It has nothing to do with the spiritual cultivation of bones?"

He came out, took out a charcoal pencil from nowhere, and stood in front of Yu Zhigui.

Yu Zhigui understood at the first sight, raised his face, and let him draw a few wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes.

Going forward, he was still stopped, and was pointed to the small words on the railing by the wrestler puppet.

Xi Changtian's spirit suddenly lifted: "Interesting."

"What's the point? Excuse me." The monk said after Yu Zhi returned.

"Sorry, sorry." Yu Zhigui hurriedly stepped out of the way.

"It's really meaningless. This stupid puppet only has the function of face recognition." The monk in Cang Yi walked up from the other side, "You two, look at the two cultivation bases. I think you are both adults, please come in."

He is the owner of the bookshop.

Xi Changtian didn't move, and asked enthusiastically: "Since there is only face screening, why can you change your appearance only after you can see through it?"

"There was a child who came disguised before, and it remembered this camouflage technique."

"Remember?" Xi Changtian's eyes lit up, and he pulled at him, "Can you tell me?"

Cultivator Cang Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in this?"

"That's natural. Your puppet is very powerful!"

Cultivator Cang Yi smiled, no matter which puppeteer, he would be happy if others praised his puppet as powerful.

He called the clerk to look after the bookstore, and invited the two into the back hall.

So the trip to Fangshi, which originally wanted to buy a picture album, became a trip to explore puppets.

Seeing the two discussing each other, Yu Zhigui didn't feel lost, on the contrary, such seriousness is Chang Tian's consistent character.

Of course, when they finally left, they were still stuffed with a box of jade slips by the shopkeeper, such as "Puzhao Picture", "Reflection Picture", "Fire Dragon Water Tiger Picture Story", "Big and Small Cauldron Furnace Picture Story", and "Zhonghe Collection" , "Life Guizhi", "Hehe Zhenglun"... It is said that they are all the best things in the store.

Satisfied, Xi Changtian asked the monk in Cang Yi, "How much is your Golden Toad?"

Cultivator Cang Yi was stunned: "Golden Chan? Jinchan..." His eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean the son-mother Jinchan puppet unique to the Zining Immortal Sect?"

Xi Changtian was also taken aback: "Why hasn't it been sold yet?"

"Yes, there are, but among the people I know, there are very few people who use the mother-child golden toad puppet to talk. The sudden sound of that thing is quite scary, so I put it away. I can't think of it for a while. Let me look for it."

The so-called daughter is easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find. If he can meet a confidant, he can't wait to take out all the things he has kept at the bottom of the box.

Just sitting around and discussing, from the young man's mouth inadvertently revealed the puppet making method that only high-level puppet masters can use, which is enough for him to understand that the young man in front of him is not as simple as it seems.

Between the words, he himself had nothing to say in the end, and the other party could draw inferences from one instance, and he was the one who gained a lot, so Brother Cang Yi did his best.

The three returned home satisfied.

On the way back, Xi Changtian suddenly moved closer to Yu Zhigui.

Yu Zhigui didn't know, so he asked, "What?"

"sorry."

"Ok?"

"Just now, I was too absorbed in what I said..." Xi Changtian said awkwardly, "I forgot."

"forget?"

"Forget that we came out originally, just to buy a picture book."

Yu Zhigui: "...Let's discuss again." He suddenly quickened his pace and walked in a certain direction.

"Return—" Xi Changtian was apprehensive, and ran after him.

——Catch up.

Yu Zhigui took the initiative to reach out and grab him: "Follow me."

Of course Yu Zhigui didn't get angry, he fully understood what kind of person Xi Changtian was.

The swallows in the sky chirped for a while, telling him what was happening in the city.

From a distance, I heard a commotion and heart-piercing crying.

Fuyufang also has specific divisions. There is one place for trading minerals, one place for trading puppets, and another place for trading unknown items.

The location of Yu Zhigui is the place where animal materials are traded.

On the street, a child in ragged clothes hugged a dying lion and cried loudly.

Standing beside him were several monks looking at each other in blank dismay.

Yu Zhigui looked from the lion's crimson eye sockets and curly and tangled mane all the way to the lotus-shaped lion's tail.

No, that's not a lion.

It was a blood-eyed 狻猊.
