The pain of fire burning reminded Wan Li that he was only concerned about kicking people happily, but forgot that the other party was a wooden man! Now, he had to limp for at least a week before he could return to normal. He vowed that he would never laugh at Ruan Zhan again in the future and laughed at him for five tuberculosis and seven injuries after every battle. Today he realized how difficult it is to be a main force to fight with foreign objects, especially when he was alone and lonely.

"You really can't be mean, otherwise you will be punished immediately!" He said in annoyance, jumped over with one foot and picked up the Blood Wood Sword, took out the spare flashlight from his backpack, and prepared to go into the yard.

But at this moment, an unusual sound suddenly came from beside him, and a broken-headed puppet closest to the door actually took the lead and crawled towards the door!

Click-click-click-click-

The friction between wood and the ground and the collision between wooden joints seemed particularly harsh in the quiet night. When the first puppet moved, the other three began to move, all struggling to climb into the yard.

Wanli felt numb when he saw it, but before he could react, he felt something hit his heel. He quickly jumped aside, but saw the puppet who was smashed into two pieces holding his lower body with one hand and supporting the ground with the other, and crawling forward, because Wanli blocked its way, so he kept hitting him.

Seeing that the four puppets had already climbed to the door, Wanli suddenly realized that the puppet had no motivation and could not act on his own. It was either controlled by demonic magic or talismans, or had a spirit attached to it.

Thinking of this, he immediately drew out the bloody wooden sword. As soon as the sword came out of the box, a faint red light immediately appeared!

really!

The reason why the Blood Wood Sword was so calm just now must be because Master Long did something on the puppet. At this moment, their heads all fell off, which was equivalent to breaking the outer layer of protection, and the Blood Wood Sword immediately had a sense!

Wanli didn't care about the pain in his right foot, so he walked over and picked up the sword and stabbed it.

"Show mercy under the sword!" A sound suddenly came from the yard, stopping him. At the same time as the voice sounded, the door of the small stone house also opened with a "ah" sound, and a thin figure appeared at the door, "They are all damaged souls, there is no place to go. I am just helping them gather their energy, and they will not hurt people!"

Wan Li let out a long sigh, looked down at his embarrassment and his right foot that had never dared to land, thinking that this would be a warning? If he hadn't had a few tricks and was alert, it would be a blessing if he could still climb on the ground at this moment. Will he still have a chance to stand here and talk?

"I reminded you to be careful." Master Long said lightly as if he had understood Wanli's heart.

"I'm very grateful. If I can't hold it back, will you come out and stop it immediately?" Wanliyu asked sarcastically, jumping to the side, allowing the puppets to climb into the yard with a "click" until they climbed into the big stone house.

"That won't be. If you can't even deal with these puppets with spirits, you don't have to go to the new town to help your friends. It's just a death sentence and there is no chance of winning." Master Long was still light, as if he was talking about irrelevant people, "Come in."

Wanli Yujie knew that what Master Long said was a little reasonable, but he always felt that this test method was a bit too much. Seeing that the thin old man finished talking to him, he walked out of the small stone house and followed the puppets into the big stone house without looking back, so he had to jump in.

The big stone house was pitch black. As soon as he entered the door, a wet and cold breath came towards him, making Wanli shudder. What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that he felt that there were many eyes staring at him in the stone house, but there was no living popularity. On the contrary, even Master Long was gone.

Wanli stood still, holding the Blood Wood Sword in one hand and turning on the flashlight with the other. The stone house was very big, at least forty square meters, and it was a flat rectangle. For some reason, Wanli felt as if he had entered a huge sarcophagus on the spot. The room was empty and there were no furniture items, but there were large white things piled up by the wall.

The flashlight hesitated and then stopped on the thing standing beside the wall.

Puppets, or puppets, life-sized puppets! They have all the limbs and different appearances, but they also have blurred faces. They just don’t wear clothes like puppets patrolling the night outside the door, nor have they been colored. Except for the two dark circles on the eyes, the smooth wooden surfaces of the other parts are shining with faint white light.

These puppets were all placed against the wall, one by one, one by one, one layer after another, one by one, one by one, one by one, at least one hundred, standing around densely, making the thousands of miles into the house suddenly feel surrounded. What’s even more terrifying is that although they don’t move or breathe, they make him feel that they are alive, staring at the visitor speechlessly. No matter what angle they change, the pair of round and black eyes still stare at him coldly, making him nervous for no reason, and a layer of sweat oozing out of his forehead.

"Here." Master Long's voice suddenly came again, which surprised Wanli. I don't know where he said. Looking closely, it turned out that there was a small door on the right hand of the big stone house, which seemed to lead to the small stone house.

Wanli was a little dissatisfied and walked into the stone house with his teeth. He felt his whole back was numb by the puppets, and he wanted to leave here as soon as possible, but he tried his best to keep his pace and didn't want to be looked down upon by this weird old man.

He has always been very brave. He can deal with the truly lively foreign objects, but this threat of silence is a test of his psychological tolerance.

"You are very brave." As soon as he entered the door, he heard Master Long say this. Although his tone was still faint, there was finally a hint of admiration included it.

The small stone house was also pitch black, and Master Long had no intention of turning on the light, but Wanli still saw the situation in the small stone house with the light of the flashlight. The small house was much smaller than the big house, less than six square meters. A common earthen kang in rural northern occupies half of the room. Two simple pieces of furniture and some luggage - a small kang table, a small wooden box and bedding were placed on one side of the kang. In addition, there was only a wooden shelf in the room, with some carving tools neatly placed on it.

This stone house does not have the cold and damp atmosphere, but the fragrance of wood is filled with!

Wanli had some doubts for a moment.

Is this thin old man really Master Long? Why does his life so shabby and embarrassing? This is very different from what he imagined. Such an expert, even if he is not a Taoist immortal style, should at least be unrestrained. Why does he feel that Master Long is like a ghost? Not only that, his behavior is also very strange. A Feng Shui master with such a great reputation and such a high status does not study Zhou Yi, Bagua, etc., but carves puppets, and the handwork is very poor!

The villagers at the foot of the mountain said that he made a living by making puppets, but according to him, this was impossible. Who would have wanted these dolls with life-sized people who stood up at a glance? He was not like a craftsman, but like a wizard who fiddled with ghosts and ghosts!

Didn’t he fall into some trap again? He had to be careful about this crisis-ridden situation!

Thinking of this, he used a flashlight to shine Master Long's body and saw him sitting in a corner of the earthen kang, his body completely wrapped in Chinese clothing, leaving only a pair of thin hands and a head full of white hair exposed outside. On the ground, his little black shadow was reflected.

However, when the strong light of the flashlight shone on his face, his eyes did not react at all, and he was still half open and his eyes were still motionless!

What's going on? Why doesn't he have normal human reactions?

"I'm blind." Master Long's shriveled lips moved for a moment and answered the question in Wanli's heart.

Wanli breathed a light breath, afraid of another accident. He was not afraid of those who could communicate with him, whether humans or ghosts, but now the situation is urgent, what he is afraid of is to go around again.

He had contacted Ruan Zhan before going up the mountain. Ruan Zhan said that he had recovered his skills, and the situation in the new town should not be delayed anymore, so he was ready to take action. He hoped that Wanli could find Master Long because he needed the people who designed and built this tower to cooperate with him outside the town.

Wanli knew that if he couldn't find Master Long, Ruan Zhan would do it, even if his chances of winning were not high. Ruan Zhan faced 173 resentment spirits. These resentment spirits were extremely deep, but they were suppressed for many years. When they were released, their abilities could not be underestimated. However, the opportunity to subdue them was fleeting, so based on the brave and tough spirit in Ruan Zhan's bones, he would definitely fight hard, even if there was only one percent chance.

The situation in the new town and the old town is changing a lot, and the timing may occur at any time, so they cannot agree on the time to take action. However, Wanli hopes to prepare in advance on his side, and then wait outside the new town, and when Ruan Zhan's signal arrives, he can take action, without having to let Ruan Zhan send a signal but not wait for reinforcements.

"I'm sorry." He was a little embarrassed, "I didn't mean it."

"Now I understand why I don't light the lights? I'm not a puppet, just because I don't need it." Master Long said, "If you see me clearly, please remove the flashlight from my face?"

For a moment, Wanli thought that Master Long could see the little ghost he was protruding his head, so he coughed awkwardly, hurriedly retracted the flashlight and let the light beam shine on the roof.

"Find a place to sit." Master Long spoke again.

There were no stools, chairs or other things in the small stone house, so Wanli had to sit by the kang as he said.

"Master Long, I--"

"You don't trust me?" Master Long interrupted Wanli, meaning that he was sitting far away from him.

"I'm afraid you'll give me some more test." Wanli said the truth, "I'm at the end of my strength when I found this place, and I can't stand the accident anymore."

This old man is really good. He obviously has a door in the small stone house, but he insists that he turn in from the big stone house. It is clearly the second time he is testing him to see if he will be scared by the strange scene.

"You must be wondering why I live like this, why I carve those puppets, why I hide in the darkest places like a ghost, why I am blind, because when you ask someone inquiring me, you must know that I have no disability, and you even doubt that I am the 'Master of Dragon' you mentioned. Then I tell you, I am not."

"No?!" Wanli almost jumped up.

"No. The so-called Master Long died when that happened ten years ago. What you see now is just a ghost." Master Long sighed.

Wanli didn't say anything. He could feel the weak heat and breathing of the old man, and there was a shadow on the ground. It was not a ghost, but he said so in regret. However, this famous Feng Shui master was indeed different from what he imagined. He did not have the profound and unfathomable feeling of "the secrets cannot be revealed". Instead, he was a little straightforward and aggressive.

"No matter how you are now, you will help us this time no matter what." Wan Li said sincerely.

Master Long sighed again, his expression was full of loneliness and helplessness, and he answered the question irrelevantly, "It's only one month away, only these thirty days, but it's a waste! The disaster is really a disaster!"

"Really - Is this going to be resolved? Can you lock them in again and continue to be in the town for a month?"

Master Long shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, "That's impossible. I said that I am not a person with great magic power. I can only set up formations, suppress spirits, and communicate yin and yang by relying on years of research on the five elements and feng shui. In order to suppress them, I spent all my strength, so I was blind."

"Master Dragon--"

"But it's not the case." Master Long continued, "It's also because I'm doing something that is harmful to virtue. On the surface, it's to resolve their anger and send them to the place where they should go. In fact, I'm trying to save someone and have selfish intentions. This is God's punishment, and I deserve it. I think that if you can find this, it means you have investigated it clearly. Do you think I deserve it?" He looked up and looked at Wanli, "Oh, I can't see it after all."

"In my opinion, things have come to this point, so let's see how to remedy it. I hope it's not too late to fix the dead."

Master Long pondered, as if he was thinking about Wanli's words, and after a while, he said, "You are very good, extremely courageous. If you have a little courage, you have a little chance, but you just don't know what the result will be?"

"No matter what the result is, I have to try." Wanli said quickly, "The people in the new town are friends who have had a lifelong relationship with me, and the women I care about the most. I will save them no matter what they say."

"What if I don't help?"

"I will tie you up even if I tie you up!"

"What if I still don't help?"

"Then I will kill the person you protect, force me to get angry, I can do anything!" Wanli was anxious and had a three-point provocation in his tone.

"Is he?" Master Long's face calm and he was not angry. "Paper cannot cover the fire. The so-called net of heaven is vast and sparse but not leaking. I wanted to put out this fire and go against the sky. It seems that it was really a mantis arm to block the car. Now this matter has been shaken out. What are I afraid of if he dies sooner or later? But don't worry, I won't help. This is my fault, and I can't involve others - you honestly answer, is your friend a person born with good skills?"

"Do you know?" Wanli asked.

In fact, Wanli was not too surprised. From the time he was in contact with Master Long, this master predicted the opportunity everywhere. A few days ago, he had heard in the town that Master Long's hexagrams were extremely accurate, so it is not difficult to imagine that he had known some things long ago.

"I knew from the moment the new town changed." Master Long said, turning back, accurately pulling over the small kang table, and uncovering a piece of black cloth covered on it.

After moving the light of the flashlight, I realized that there were no food and drinks or utensils on the kang table, but a model was placed. It was not a model that displayed the property in real estate companies, but a sand table for military deduction. The sand table was clearly marked with horizontal and vertical lines, looking like a street, and the small blocks separated were buildings. There was a small plate filled with water in the center of the sand table, and a vivid wooden tower stood in the center of the plate.

"Did you see that tower? Tell me, what is around the tower?" asked Master Long.

Wanli concentrated all the flashlight on the sand table, "The sand and soil around the plate are very messy, and the water in the plate is very turbid, and this small wooden tower is in my heaven, it is moving!" When he leaned closer and observed carefully, he was really shocked when he saw the small wooden tower shaking suddenly, and instinctively retreated.

What's going on? Does all the wood around Master Long have life?

"That's it." Master Long said calmly, "The sand was originally flat, the water was clear, and the tower was stable. When one day, all this became different, I naturally knew that someone had broken the Feng Shui array there!"

"What's going on?"

"I said that my magic power is limited, and the knowledge I am familiar with is only the knowledge I am familiar with when I cut off Yin and Yang. Besides, do you think that Feng Shui array can trap those ghosts with resentment?"

"Did you have been here for the past ten years?" Wanli took a breath and finally understood why Master Long wanted to live alone in such a strange and cold place, and also used formations to isolate himself from the world. It turned out that there was this love story.

Master Long nodded, "There are also these puppets, a total of 173, each with a name and a surname, and are engraved behind their heads together with their birth date. Every night, I will place these special puppets in the yard and impose the yin and yang method to calm their resentment and ensure that the Feng Shui array will not be broken! The other four puppets I made are, one to retain those poor remnants, and the other to let them patrol the night and scare away the beasts with fire. Because the beasts have no human mind and no limitations of the human mind, they are not confused by the peripheral formations, and their breath will shock the souls and make these unknowing wooden people become evil things!"

"This bastard!" Wanli gritted his teeth and cursed, and it was Sima Nan who was scolding him.

Of course, Master Long understood what he meant, "It should be said that he was a master. Although he broke my Feng Shui array, I had to admire him." He smiled bitterly, "In your opinion, maybe this person was disturbing the situation, but in my eyes, this was called the cycle of heaven and law, and retribution was unhappy. That day, I was casting spells for these puppets, but I felt that they suddenly walked around. You must know that they were just dead objects, but because of the names and birth dates engraved behind their heads, they seemed to be conscious when I cast spells, but in fact they were just wood. But that day was different, and they seemed to echo the resentful spirits in the new town. I hurriedly withdrew the Yin-Yang spell and returned to the house. Although I couldn't see it, I also felt that the sand table had changed! At that time, I knew that someone had broken my situation!"

As he was talking, a slight sound suddenly came from the big stone house. When he heard it carefully, someone was talking, and many people were talking at the same time!
