This deity is handsome and splits the sky

Feng Zhuxue and Qingfeng's concerns quickly became reality.

On the third day, an urgent report came from the front line of the Eastern Border. The attacking puppets seemed to gradually develop wisdom. caught off guard.

After so many days, people think that they have a good understanding of these puppet monsters. These puppets have no intelligence and only know how to fight brutally. Anyone who is bitten by a puppet monster will be transformed into a demon. The puppet demon acts no differently.

Therefore, when resisting this wave of puppet army, the monks did not fight head-on, but chose long-range attacks, which also greatly reduced the casualties of the monks.

The puppet's eyesight was poor at night, so the monks lit thick incense to deceive their sense of smell, planning to launch an attack from the rear of the puppet army.This plan was originally very good, and those puppets were just as they had expected, dazed in the darkness and thick fragrance, and did not notice their arrival at all.

Similarly, they didn't realize that they had stepped into the ambush of the puppet monster.

There are some elite monsters in the puppet army, but after being transformed into puppets, there is only a difference in combat power—this is the consensus of all monks.

However, they didn't expect that this small group of elites would develop intelligence and ambush them on the way ahead of their attack, catching them by surprise.

In the middle of the night, the outside of the city turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Almost half of the advance army was bitten by the puppet demon and turned into puppets immediately. A small number of monks tried their best to escape back.

However, the situation did not improve. Among the monks who escaped, one of them had been demonized by a puppet, but because there were no wounds on his body, and there was no abnormality in the person, the monk in charge of the inspection did not find anything, so he let him go Back to town.

So the monk lurked in the city like a normal person. It wasn't until he assassinated Tang Zhu, the lord of Jinlin City, and was subdued by the monks that people noticed the abnormality on the other party - the back of his head, covered with hair In the deeply covered part, there was a wound as big as the eye of a needle.

Now, Tang Zhu is still in a coma, life and death are hard to know.

It was mentioned in "Puppet Art" that as the technique is gradually completed, the puppets will gradually possess their own intelligence, which is no different from living ordinary people, except that they have no emotions, and every move is controlled by the caster.But puppets with intelligence are obviously much more useful than those dead things without intelligence. They know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and can better complete the orders issued by their masters.

If it is said that puppets give birth to spiritual intelligence and have thinking, it is already a big problem for everyone, because the puppet monsters are more difficult to deal with, and a large number of demonized monks will make the whole situation worse.

If a solution cannot be found in time, in the long run, there will be more and more enemies and fewer and fewer troops.

For the first time in several days, Feng Zuixue stepped out of this bedroom.

Only then did he discover that this sleeping hall was built on the mountain behind the Seven Star Gate, and there was no one around, only this courtyard stood tall.

The heavy chain was removed from their wrists, and now they don't need to use it to prove anything, Feng Cuixue subconsciously touched the jade clasp hanging around his neck, and gave Qingfeng a gentle smile.

"The head of the palace intends to go together." Not far from the enchantment, Chu Xingyun held his sword and said.

Qingfeng glanced at Gong Yunting in front of Chu Xingyun, and nodded politely at the other party, "The place of your sect, please be the master."

In fact, Feng Cuixue had only met this new head once, and it was a random meeting on the roof of Huo Xian's house in Danxia City a long time ago.At that time, Gong Yunting's face was immature, and she was still a young and arrogant young lady.But now, the trace of innocence on the other side has disappeared without a trace, leaving a pool of calm like stagnant water.

Gong Yunting was wearing a palace dress of mountains and rivers and geography, with golden butterflies swaying in her hair, and a few hideous scars running across her slightly powdered side face. She was half a beauty and half a hell, adding an unspeakable strange temperament to her whole person.

Gong Yunting didn't seem to care that the scars on her face were seen by others, because of the relationship between the two of them, the injured side faced Feng Cuixue, and smiled generously at Feng Cuixue, "Mr. Going to the Western Territory, I endured a lot of hard work, and it really helped us a lot, Yun Ting has not had time to thank Mr. Feng in the future."

Feng Cuixue was a little surprised, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

With just a few words, Feng Cuixue noticed the changes in Gong Yunting's body.Gong Yunting was born with blocked meridians and was unable to practice, so even though she practiced some martial arts exercises, her footsteps were vacant and her body lacked aura, so others could tell the difference between her and a monk at a glance.

But now, Gong Yunting walks steadily, her whole body is full of spiritual energy, she has obviously entered the path of cultivation, and her cultivation level is not low.

But I don't know what's going on.

Sensing Feng Zuixue's probing eyes, Gong Yunting said generously: "Sansheng is lucky to meet a strange fate by chance, and this is the only way to have this encounter."

Feng Zuixue nodded, "Congratulations."

The opponent's body was full of aura, but upon closer inspection, there was a look of decay.If you are eager for success, there will be gains and losses. Presumably Gong Yunting herself understands her own situation, but since this is the other party's choice, there is no need for Feng Cuixue to talk about it.

The four of them walked into the heavily guarded underground cell. In the deepest part of the cell, the four walls were engraved with demon-subduing runes. In the huge and spacious cell, a dying man was hung by a thick chain in the center.

The person who was hung by the chain suddenly raised his head, sniffed lightly, and hissed, "Cui Cui?"

On the fox demon's beautiful face, where the nimble eyes originally bloomed were dripping with blood, and there was nothing left.

The wind urges Xue to stop immediately.

Qingfeng said coldly: "Who did it?"

"I did it." Gong Yunting's expression was soft and steady, "This demon is under the control of the demon king. Although he is intelligent, how can he know that he is not a puppet? I removed his eyes so that the demon king would not use his eyes to detect us. Condition."

Qingfeng said coldly: "This monster has been punished, who asked you to do unnecessary things?"

Gong Yunting's voice was also a bit cold, "The demon king is a running dog, so what if the master poached his eyes? Fellow Daoist Xie cares about such trivial matters? But I will kill every monster I see. I hope Fellow Daoist Xie understands that I didn't kill him. It's for your sake!"

"That's all." Feng Zuixue's voice was a little tired, "Don't say any more."

"Cui Cui." Smelling the breath of wind and snow, the fox demon mourned, "I'm not a puppet, trust me."

Qingfeng stopped arguing with Gong Yunting, and instead looked nervously at Feng Cuixue, "I didn't know it would happen, I just asked someone to lock him up."

Qingfeng is very aware of the significance of the fox demon to Feng Zhuxue, although he can't wait to kill the opponent, but the fox demon is still useful to them, and because of Feng Zhuxue... Qingfeng really doesn't want Feng Zhuxue to see the fox demon being tortured scene.

The wind urged Xue to push Qingfeng away, and said coldly: "Go out."

Although Qingfeng didn't want to, but at this moment he didn't dare to provoke Feng Cuixue any more, he could only say bitterly: "I'm at the door, if there is any movement, please call me in time."

"roll!"

……

After everyone left, Feng Zuixue stepped forward, gently caressed the beautiful face of the fox demon, and brushed away the broken hair hanging on the other's forehead.

"I'm really not a puppet, don't believe what that woman says." The fox demon couldn't see the expression of Feng Zuxue, but could only feel the cold touch of the other party's fingers on his forehead, and couldn't help sobbing tremblingly: "I am Xiao Jiu, you recognize my face, and I know everything between us, how could I be a puppet?"

The wind kept Xuexue silent, and her fingertips lightly brushed beside the hollow eye sockets of the fox demon, causing the fox demon to flinch.

"They are all so fierce. The wound Qingfeng beat me is still not healed. That woman even sent someone to goug out my eyes. Cui Cui, you have also changed." You were rescued by Luo, have you forgotten?"

"I remember."

A gleam of joy flashed across the fox demon's face, "We are in the demon king's palace, and I taught you to read and write, and practiced sword with you, do you remember?"

Feng Zuixue let out a "huh".

"The last time I died, those monks fed me sober medicine, peeled off my skin and threw me into the pot to cook. I wanted to die but I couldn't die anyway. I was really afraid of pain. Ah... When the demon king brought me back to life, you didn't know how much I wanted to see you." The fox demon mourned, "I didn't intend to kill you when I was in the Tianxin Sword Sect, I was just too angry... Don't be mad at me, okay?"

"I'm not angry." Feng Zhuxue sighed: "I didn't expect Gong Yunting and Qingfeng to treat you like this, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay!" the fox demon said quickly.

"But you're really not Xiao □ The voice of urging the snow was faint, with a little sigh.

"I'm not a puppet!!" Fox demon screamed, "I have all the memories of us together, I can talk to you, I can play with you, I can move and laugh, I'm not those dead things!"

Feng Cuixue patted his hair reassuringly, "Shhhhhhhh I know, you are not a puppet, there is no puppet like you who is no different from ordinary people."

The fox demon eagerly opened her mouth, but was blocked by Feng Zuixue's next sentence.

"You're not a puppet, and you're not little □□ Cuixue blocked the fox demon's open lips with her index finger, "You're just a dead spirit with his memory. "

Obviously the other party's eyes were empty, but Feng Cuixue could see a trace of confusion from inside.

"I'm Xiaojiu, I remember you, we grew up together..." The fox muttered, "Later... I died."

Feng Cuixue caressed the top of his head, his eyes fell on the demon-subduing rune in the distance, as if he had fallen into a distant memory, "Xiao Jiu was skinned and cooked alive by those monks, and the resentment lingered for a long time after death, those monks were afraid , and worked together to break up and dissolve his soul... In other words, his soul has been completely annihilated."

"But I am him." The fox demon said blankly: "But your majesty said that I am his reincarnation, otherwise why do I remember everything in the previous life?"

"After Xiaojiu died, I buried his body in the Qionghua Forest on the mountain behind the Demon King's Palace, but this time when I went back, his body was gone." Feng Xue said.

The fox demon quickly explained that he felt that he had found a way to prove that he was Xiao Jiu, "That means I am him, maybe the body His Majesty found for me is my original body."

Feng Zhuxue said gently and patiently: "His soul has been completely annihilated, and it is impossible to be reincarnated again, do you understand? Before I came to the Western Region, Duan Jiesheng killed many fox clans. You once told me this of."

"Yes, because they are unwilling to submit to His Majesty."

"No, he is looking for a soul that can match Xiao Jiu's body." Feng Zhuxue said: "There are memories left in his body, enough to make a dead soul whose memory has been removed mistakenly think that he is him."

"I don't understand." The fox demon sniffled aggrievedly, "Who am I if I'm not him? But I only have Xiao Jiu's memory..."

"I'm sorry, there are too many foxes who died, and I don't know who you are." Feng Cuixue said.

"Did His Majesty kill me?" Fox Demon felt the sky was about to fall, "Your Majesty the Demon King treated me so well."

The world of the fox demon was completely dark, and the person on the opposite side was just silent, stroking the top of his head gently.

The fox demon was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Are you going to kill me too?"

"But I'm so afraid of pain. My memory makes me feel that I died once not long ago. I was given by those people—" The fox demon's voice stopped abruptly, and after a moment of pause, he said sadly: "I'm sorry, I Forget that I'm not him. I figured it out, Cui Cui wants to kill me, I am willing, but can you not make me hurt so much?"

Although he said he was willing to die, the fox demon still trembled unconsciously.

"I don't have to kill you." Until Feng Cuixue sighed.

The fox demon eagerly looked up at Feng Cuixue, even though his eyes were empty.

"But you have to explain everything you know, what is his plan." Feng Cuixue said: "He values ​​you very much, and sent you to the Tianxin Sword Sect, but he didn't really ask you to accompany me to die."

"I cannot betray His Majesty."

"Think about it again, I don't want to kill you, but Qingfeng and Qixingmen won't spare you, I can't stop them." Feng Cuixue said: "If you say so, since you have Xiaojiu skin For the sake of it, I can let you go, but if you are determined to hide it for His Majesty who killed you, I can't help you."

"Do you think he is really kind or fake kind?"

Thousands of miles away, the man in the black gold royal robe sneered.

Beside him, Ye Hong dutifully held an eyeball, which was as clear and flawless as glass, and the voices of the wind urging the snow and the fox demon came from that eyeball.
