The protagonists have golden fingers

Apart from Xie Qingming and Shen Yan, there is no third living person in Qingming Mountain, and there are puppets all around.

At first, Shen Yan was taken aback, but she quickly got used to it.He followed Xie Qingming every day, listening to her talk about the Xie family's silk-drawing technique in the softest voice, and watching her make a vivid puppet bird with her skillful hands.

The puppet bird was carefully held in the palm of Shen Yan's hand, and the delicate touch made the young man marvel at Xie's silk-drawing skill.

He looked at Xie Qingming in surprise, and found that Mrs. Qiansi was also looking at him with complicated eyes.

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then restrained the expression on her face, feeling inexplicably uneasy: "Aunt?"

Xie Qingming's eyes flashed, and Shen Yan's familiar gentle look appeared again: "What's wrong?"

The young man pursed the corners of his mouth, thinking that he might have been mistaken, how could his aunt show such a terrifying expression?

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty in his heart, scratched his face in embarrassment, and whispered: "It's nothing... just, a little tired..."

He didn't want Xie Qingming to know that he almost misunderstood her, and he couldn't think of any good topics, so he could only excuse that he was tired and wanted to rest.

Fortunately, Xie Qingming didn't ask any further questions, but just touched his forehead worriedly, and smiled distressedly: "It's my fault, your body is not well yet, so I will drag you out to let the air blow...Okay, Go back quickly, go to bed early tonight!"

"En." Shen Yan nodded, hugged the puppet bird Xie Qingming gave him, and walked away step by step.

He actually wanted to continue looking at the puppet, but Mrs. Qiansi's attitude was very clear. He had lied just now, and he didn't dare to reveal the truth, so he could only go back to his small yard.

The boy who walked away didn't look back, and he didn't see Mrs. Qiansi's gloomy face instantly.

There was a sneer of disdain on the corner of her lips, and her eyes were sinister and vicious: "Useless things."

Back in the yard, Shen Yan put the puppet bird on the window sill, leaned on the table by the window, looked at the little bird, and thought happily, when she recovered, she would ask her aunt to teach her how to treat it. Teach yourself puppetry.

But I am not from the Xie family, so if I want to learn the spells of the Xie family, I should be rejected, right?

But I really want to learn... If he learns the puppet technique, he can make his own puppets, and then my aunt won't have to work so hard.

Shen Yan lay down for a while, but she was really tired.He yawned, rubbed his eyes, and murmured to himself with some doubts: "Eh...that's strange, why suddenly...so sleepy..."

Before he finished speaking, his vision went dark, he fell to the ground, and soon fell unconscious.

After a while, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and a puppet walked in with a blank expression, turned his neck stiffly, and "saw" the boy lying on the ground.It stepped forward, bent down and carried the boy on its shoulders, and strode out.

Xie Qingming was still standing next to the stone platform where the puppet was made, saw his puppet bringing the boy over from a distance, and smiled with satisfaction.

She turned around and clicked through the knives hanging on the wall with her fingers, and finally chose a set of soul-devouring nails, a boning knife, and a small coil of silk thread.

The boy had been placed on the stone platform, and his clothes were stripped off by the puppets.He closed his eyes and stretched his eyebrows, as if he had entered a sweet dream.

Xie Qingming stared at him for a while, then opened his mouth and stuffed a pill into it, watching him swallow unconsciously, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She took the boy's hand and cut the back of his hand with a boning knife, and the bright red blood flowed out instantly.

The young man was ignorant, his wrist was held limply in the palm of his hand, and blood dripped down his fingers.

Xie Qingming finally laughed.She was good-looking, but the premature gray hair made her look a little unreasonable, and at this moment, her smile was as innocent as a spring flower blooming.

But Xie Qingming had already passed the age of innocence, so no matter how pretty the smile was, there was a bit of evil in his eyes.

She obsessively caressed the boy's warm face, and from time to time stretched out a finger to poke the soft flesh on his face, very satisfied with this picked up body.

Having touched it enough, Xie Qingming withdrew his hand, casually picked up the set of soul-devouring nails from the side, chose the longest one, and slowly plunged into the boy's dantian.

The nails were as thick as chopsticks, and the whole body was transparent. After entering the human body, it melted, and only a little black mark appeared on the surface of the skin.

The boy frowned, as if he felt some discomfort in his body.But he first inhaled the smoke, and then was given medicine, so he just moved his brows, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Xie Qingming was not worried that he would suddenly wake up, and he was doing his own thing wholeheartedly.A set of soul-devouring nails has a total of 28 nails, each piercing into the big acupoints on the boy's body, locking his meridians so that even if he really wakes up, he has no way of escaping.

However, before she could make another move, the birds in the forest suddenly started up, chirping and flying into the sky, covered in darkness like black clouds covering the sun.

Xie Qingming was interrupted by these frightened birds, subconsciously distracted, and unexpectedly discovered that the newly made puppet seemed to have its own consciousness!

Shocked, she looked back at the boy who had only sealed his meridians, thought for a moment, and ordered the puppet to lock him up in the dungeon. The thick black chain passed through the lute bone and was firmly nailed to the wall. Then she went to check her body. puppet.

After Xie Qingming left, the cell was only guarded by two tall wooden puppets.Shen Yan moved her eyelashes, and finally slowly opened her eyelids, revealing a pair of shimmering light-colored gray pupils.

Immediately afterwards, a look of pain appeared on his face, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only bite the back of his hand tremblingly, letting his face be covered with tears.

My body hurts, and my heart hurts too, but I can't tell which hurts more.

Shen Yan has struggled in the bottom since she was a child, and although she can't fully understand Xie Qingming's sudden change of attitude, it's okay to guess five or six points—it's just like this, that makes her feel more painful.

Shen Yan did not tell Xie Qingming that he was not under the control of drugs. After all, he did not expect that Xie Qingming, who had always been gentle and gentle, would suddenly treat him like this.

He really regarded Xie Qingming as his family, and he made up his mind to learn puppetry from Xie Qingming.

Even... Even if Xie Qingming really wanted to kill him, he would not refuse.However, he didn't want to die in such an unexplained manner, at least he had to know the reason for being killed.

The young man took a deep breath and swallowed the choked sob back into his stomach, his eyes were a little red and swollen from crying.

He wiped his face nonchalantly, and tried to move his arms.The thick iron chain made a little noise, Shen Yan quickly stopped, and looked at the prison door holding his breath.

The two wooden puppets stood quietly, not doing anything because of the sound.

Shen Yan felt relieved a little, the tip of her tongue brushed against the root of her teeth, and a small silver needle came out of her mouth.

While paying attention to the situation of the cell door, he fiddled with the shackles on his wrist with this silver needle.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a "ding" sound, the handcuffs smashed to the ground, and the chain pulled the hook passing through the lute bone, causing Shen Yan's eyes to turn black in bursts of pain, and he could hardly stand up.

The wooden puppet at the door finally moved after hearing such a loud noise.They ran over in a hurry and saw that Shen Yan was well locked on the wall, dying with her head hanging down, turned her head hesitantly, and slowly planned to stand back to her original position.

At this moment, an iron chain flew from behind and was firmly wrapped around the neck of one of the wooden puppets.

Looking back, Shen Yan's face was pale, but his hands were holding the iron chain tightly, and he pulled it hard. The wooden puppet didn't notice it for a while, staggered and fell to the ground, and instantly shattered into pieces of wood.

Another wooden puppet ran over with a blank face, raised his big fist and smashed it down, Shen Yan hurriedly dodged aside, ignoring the severe pain of the wound, got up and grabbed the spirit stone on the puppet's back, and pulled hard down!The puppet shook its body, stiffly stopped in place, and did not move.

Shen Yan fell headfirst to the ground, trembling all over, he was already numb from the pain, but he was still breaking out in cold sweat, his whole body seemed to crawl out of the water.

After a short rest, the tone finally eased, Shen Yan licked his chapped lips, got up tremblingly, and found a key from the wooden puppet.

He used this key to open the iron hook on his lute bone, and blood rushed out from the huge wound.

Shen Yan knew that if she couldn't stop the bleeding in time, even if she did escape, she would still be dead.

But the yard Xie Qingming arranged for him can no longer go, I believe Xie Qingming will come to him soon - the entire Qingming Mountain belongs to Xie Qingming, he has almost nowhere to hide!

But even so... Shen Yan tore off the clothes on the wooden puppet, made a simple bandage for herself, and barely stopped the bleeding.He can't die here either.

It was four days after Xie Qingming found out that Shen Yan had disappeared.In the past four days, she has been in the puppet secret room, adjusting and repairing the puppet inside.

I don't know what happened to these puppets, but there are faint signs of losing control.When Xie Qingming came out of the secret room exhausted, he found that the body was gone again!

Xie Qingming pulled his hair ferociously, screaming and cursing viciously.

It took a long time before she finally calmed down. Her hair, which was originally well-groomed, was clustered like weeds on the top of her head, and she was as mad as a ghost.

Xie Qingming gasped for a moment, then suddenly laughed strangely, his voice was as soft as ever: "This bad boy, why is he so disobedient? He actually played peek-a-boo on Qingming Mountain?"

She straightened up, stroked her temple hair, and smiled charmingly, "Okay then, I'll play with you..."

Shen Yan hid for three days in a cave that he discovered by accident, because the wound could not be treated in time, during these three days he developed a high fever, and his whole body was burning like a cloud, but he had to tense up his nerves for fear of being thanked. Qing Ming found and arrested him.

He carried it hard for three days, and finally couldn't stand it on the fourth day. He poked his head out of the cave to find water and food.

He found a small stream in a hidden jungle, and lying on the side of the stream, he drank his fill and felt that he was finally alive.

He cleaned the wound with weak hands and feet, and then applied the herbs he picked at random.

Unknown birds chirped and jumped around in the forest, Shen Yan looked up, licked his mouth impatiently, and returned to the cave where he hid before, holding a bunch of wild green fruits.

For half a month, he hid in this place, and occasionally went out to change the wound medicine and look for food. Xie Qingming didn't know whether he forgot about this place or for some other reason, but he didn't find it at all.

Shen Yan didn't dare to relax her vigilance, taking advantage of the opportunity to go out to find food, she was still looking for other hiding places.

Finally, on the mountainside of Qingming Mountain, he found a small cave.Overgrown with weeds and barren, it looked out of place with Qingming Mountain.

Shen Yan was overjoyed, and hastily moved all of her few "properties" into this cave entrance.

Just when he was about to go down the mountain with the last bunch of wild fruits in his arms, Xie Qingming finally appeared at the place where he was hiding before.The boy covered his mouth and hid behind a bush, shaking with fear.

Xie Qingming looked around and was about to find him.Suddenly, in the woods not far away, a flock of birds startled!

Xie Qingming's gaze narrowed, and he flew over there without hesitation!Shen Yan took this opportunity to run down the mountain, rolling and crawling!

The soul-eating nails on his body are still there, and his movements are still very stiff, but as long as he can escape Xie Qingming's clutches, these tortures seem to be nothing more than mosquito bites, and they will not be so unbearable.

It is not without reason that Shen Yan was later called the "Son of Heaven".The entire Qingming Mountain is only this big, and all of it is under Xie Qingming's control, and Shen Yan himself was seriously injured, logically speaking, it is impossible to escape.

However, he lived in this deserted cave for more than half a year.Every time Xie Qingming wanted to find this place, there would always be startled birds appearing from time to time, or something went wrong with the puppet she made, as if by divine help.

It's just that no matter how good luck is, there will be a day when it runs out.

In the spring of the second year, Shen Yan was still caught.

Xie Qingming's appearance was crazy, his eyes were red, and he stared fiercely at Shen Yan's face, but his voice was still soft and gentle: "Yan'er is such a bad boy, he has been hiding for so long."

Shen Yan struggled for the chain on his body, but found that it was stronger than the previous one, and it was completely impossible to break free with his own strength.

Xie Qingming watched him struggle with a smile and did not stop him.When he calmed down, he continued to speak: "You just need to be obedient, why are you running?"

Shen Yan was silent for a while, then slowly raised her eyes, and asked back: "If my aunt didn't want to kill me, why should I run?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slap fell on his face hard, the woman in front of him had a distorted expression, pinching the soft flesh of his face with one hand, slowly exerting force bit by bit: "How can you say that? I'll make you a puppet so that you can live forever, isn't it good?"

Shen Yan only felt that his cheek was pinched so that he lost all feeling, he gritted his teeth, jumped up suddenly, and bumped into Xie Qingming's head.

The woman was blindsided by the bump, and subconsciously let go of her fingers.Shen Yan covered her face, the pain caused tears to roll in her eyes.

"Bad boy!" Xie Qingming came back to his senses, picked up the wooden stick at the side, and hit the boy hard.

She had great strength, her expression was terrifying, but her words were innocent, as if she was teaching a disobedient child.

Shen Yan hugged her head and rolled on the ground in embarrassment, trying to avoid this severe beating.

Xie Qingming was tired from beating, threw the stick casually, and left in a dispirited manner, leaving Shen Yan alone, panting in the small room.He suspected that he might be beaten to death this time.

but none.Xie Qingming seemed to have changed his mind. For seven or eight days in a row, he had never seen anyone except a few puppets who brought him water and food.

Eight days later, Xie Qingming finally appeared, followed by a young man.The young man has exquisite eyebrows and thin bones, like a small white flower blooming in the field, and people can't help caring for it when they see it.

Xie Qingming saw Shen Yan staring intently at the young man behind him, and smiled with satisfaction: "This is my new puppet, it was one of my little nephews when he was alive, how about it, isn't it cute?"

Shen Yan was startled, and a sense of fear welled up in her heart—this is not a living person, but a puppet!What is even more frightening is the information revealed in Xie Qingming's words!

Shen Yan suddenly remembered, when he just came to Qingming Mountain, those puppets he met——

They are well-made, if not for the lack of breathing and heartbeat, he almost thinks that they are living people!

Now that I think about it, I find it rather strange, how can a puppet's skin be as delicate and soft as a living person?It's not like skinning people and putting them on.

From now on, those puppets might have been made by Xie Qingming with living people!

Shen Yan kept choking and coughing because of panic. He curled up in the corner, without the slightest chance or strength to escape, and could only watch Xie Qingming getting closer and closer. He closed his eyes in fear, thinking To escape from this terrible world--

He returned to the stone altar.Xie Qingming was not worried about the soul-devouring nail that was stuck in his body last time.

Perhaps it was because Shen Yan's private escape angered the woman, so she did not drug Shen Yan to make him fall asleep, but made him wake up and feel the pain.

It was still the boning knife, the blade was sharp and sharp, and the moment it cut through the flesh, it only felt a slight pain, and it was not until it touched the deeper flesh and bones that it felt the desperate pain.

"Ah—" Shen Yan screamed and struggled, tears of fear kept pouring out of her eyes.

He's only 15 years old, he doesn't want to die yet, and he can't die!Who will save him?Who can save him!

The ferocious smile on Xie Qingming's face suddenly froze, she stared dumbfounded at the wound on the boy's body——

The green light wrapped around the wound that had just been cut open, and the cut was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it returned to its original state in a short while, except for the scar left on the skin, everything seemed to have never happened .

Xie Qingming was stunned for a moment, then a scream came out of his mouth!

She scratched back and forth on the boy like crazy, but no matter how she hurt him, all that was left in the end were pink flesh scars.

It's just that wounds can heal, but pain is inevitable.The boy couldn't stand the torture and passed out long ago, his face was as pale as paper, and his forehead hair was wet with cold sweat, which was tightly stuck to his forehead.

Xie Qingming finally gave up, she took a breath, covered her face and slowly squatted down, a sound that was like crying and laughing came out of her throat.After searching for so long, she finally found...an opportunity to revive Xie's family!

Therefore, when Shen Yan woke up, he had already returned to the small courtyard where he used to live.

The bright sunlight poured into the small room, making it look quiet and peaceful. On the branches outside the window, a few birds were chirping and jumping.

If it weren't for the wounds on his body still hurting, Shen Yan would almost think that everything before was just a nightmare.

But what surprised him was that the Soul Devouring Nail had been taken out from his body. Although it would affect his future cultivation, it did not pose any major threat in the early stage.

More importantly, his meridians are not blocked, so if he wants to escape, he will be more confident!

But Shen Yan did not choose to leave in a hurry.He knew that as long as he was still on the mountain, he would be found one day.

Instead of hiding in Tibet, it's better to see what kind of medicine is sold in Xie Qingming's gourd.

Shen Yan was sure that Xie Qingming would not kill him again, at least for now.But Xie Qingming, if he was of no use to her, he wouldn't be left behind so easily.

Shen Yan racked her brains and couldn't figure out why she escaped.It's just that Xie Qingming didn't give him time to think. The next day after he woke up, the woman walked into his yard with a book, left it behind, and left without saying a word or giving a look. .

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then slowly picked up the book, the cover was clean, nothing was written.Open it and look at it, but it is a cheat book for getting started.

Shen Yan thought of the legend about Tianrang in a trance - every 80 or [-] years, the cultivators of Tianrang would die in large numbers for no reason. Carp, fighting for the few spots.

Shen Yan didn't really want to practice, but if he didn't practice, he would die, not to mention revenge.

In his mind, he went back and forth, and finally he squeezed the pages of the book tightly and began to practice according to the contents of the book.

He is talented and intelligent, within half a month, he has already mastered how to breathe and gather energy, and the rest of the practice depends on long time accumulation.

But Xie Qingming couldn't wait for him to grow up little by little.Therefore, Shen Yan got a blessing in disguise, and obtained a large number of pills and magic weapons from Xie Qingming to practice.

Shen Yan was forced to practice day and night, but she wasn't unhappy at all.Xie Qingming was smart all his life, but at this moment he was confused.

Who is Shen Yan?How could it be possible to wait for death so peacefully?

He knew that the current peace was only temporary, and when he cultivated to become an immortal, he would die!

But he had no choice - confronting Xie Qingming head-on was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Instead of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating ten thousand, it is better to find another opportunity, maybe there is still a chance.

Two years later, the turning point that Shen Yan had been waiting for finally came.

Xie Qingming kept Shen Yan for two more years, raised him with delicious food and drink, poured countless pills for free, and forcibly promoted Shen Yan from an early cultivator to half a cultivator. By!

She felt that the time was right, so she stopped the supply of pills and started her next plan.

In the past two years, Shen Yan has become a lot more obedient, he practiced when he was asked to practice, took medicine when asked to take medicine, and would not refuse to let him have bloodletting occasionally, returning to the days when he first entered Qingming Mountain in a trance.

It's just that Xie Qingming didn't have time to study the young man's mind, so she called Shen Yan into her room, and said straight to the point: "Yan'er, my aunt has raised you for three years, it's time to repay her kindness."

Shen Yan pursed her lips and did not speak.

Xie Qingming continued: "However, you don't have to worry, aunt will not treat you badly. After you finish what aunt told you, aunt will let you go, how about it?"

Xie Qing thought to herself, she still has a soft heart after all, even if it is a kitten or puppy, it needs to have some affection after more than three years, let alone this is a living person?

However, Shen Yan didn't appreciate it.He looked into the woman's beautiful eyes, and suddenly smiled, causing the woman to be slightly stunned: "Auntie, why do you think that I will still listen to you now?"

Xie Qingming was being dazzled by the young man's smile, his whole body shivered when he heard this, and he subconsciously wanted to get up from the chair.

But before she could move, her body was tightly entangled by several vines, and she was tied to the chair and couldn't move.

Shen Yan didn't get too entangled with her, he knew that he was still no match for Xie Qingming at this moment, but his current ability was enough to support him until he escaped from Qingming Mountain!

He tied Xie Qingming up with vines, stuffed her mouth with a rag, and rushed down the mountain without looking back!

In the past two years, he kept his own place and did not resist, just for today!

When Xie Qingming gradually relaxed his vigilance, he had secretly investigated all the roads on Qingming Mountain, and knew which one could lead directly to the bottom of the mountain, which one had fewer puppets, and which one was the safest.

His escape was extremely smooth. When he stepped on the soil at the foot of Qingming Mountain, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed——

The previous inn has long been dilapidated, and the shopkeeper and waiter inside are still the same as before.

Shen Yan was covered in white sweat, and finally understood where the strangeness he noticed at that time came from.

These "people" are obviously puppets made by Xie Qingming, and I don't know how many ignorant people have been killed!

He gritted his teeth, set fire to the inn, and walked towards the nearest small town.

On the way, he met several of his current subordinates.The friendship of teenagers always comes quickly and unreasonably, after a few fights without pain, Shen Yan got their approval.

A year later, Yunjing added a place called "Yunzhuang Pavilion".Most of them are young people who have not yet grown up, but their strength is not bad. They stood out from the selection two months ago and became the new immortal cultivators.

Soon after, Yunzhuang Pavilion became the largest force in Yunjing, with branches in various places.

Shen Yan finally got rid of Xie Qingming's control, and he could do whatever he wanted - and the first thing he wanted to do was revenge.

But until now, Shen Yan has not found his enemy.
