two golems

Chapter 1

Yanshan Town, on the border of the Holy State, is a small town surrounded by mountains. It is said to be a small town, but in fact it is just a relatively large village.

The town that used to be quiet was extremely lively today. People in the town were gathering in the center of the town, as if something lively was about to happen.

And all of this is because the noble puppet master has to come over.

In Xiaoyanshan Town, it has been an unknown amount of time since a puppet master appeared. The men, women, and children in the town gathered in the town square early to see the legendary puppet master with their own eyes.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the children of the right age in the town may become a puppet master if they can detect their soul talents.

For Yanshan Town, this is tantamount to a golden phoenix flying out of a grass nest.

At this time, on the other side, in a greasy and dirty store in the corner of Yanshan Town, a young man with an expression and dull eyes was skillfully cutting a piece of pork on the chopping board. He quickly cut a piece of red and white meat. The white and white pork was then handed to the middle-aged man outside the window.

"Why is Uncle Qi reluctant to eat meat today?" The young man's expressionless face showed a little confusion, giving people a sense of stupidity.

The middle-aged man who was called Uncle Seven rubbed his hands, took the pork, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a puppet master who is coming to our Yanshan Town? What if that boy Yang Jian has the hope of becoming a puppet master? You have to give him a good meal, right?"

The young man nodded calmly without any reaction.

Uncle Seven is obviously used to this, and he is no stranger to it, "Why? Such a good opportunity, you are not going to try your luck?"

The young man looked back at the inner room. Hearing the heavy coughs and gasps in the room, he silently shook his head: "No."

When Uncle Qi saw this, he couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, and asked worriedly: "Where is Lao Zhu? Is it still the same?"

"Yes." The young man nodded and silently put away the few magic dusts handed over by Uncle Qi, "I should take the medicine for a while and I should be able to get better."

"That's good~that's good~." Uncle Qi said melancholy: "Lao Zhu has suffered a lot in his life and has been frustrated all his life. Fortunately, you can help him take over. Otherwise, if Lao Zhu is gone, our Yanshan There are no butchers left in the town.”

The young man nodded expressionlessly, "Uncle Qi, please walk slowly."

Uncle Qi was startled, looked at the young man a little helplessly, and then happily picked up the pork and left slowly.

Watching Uncle Qi go away, the young man stood in front of the murder case in a daze, his eyes showing a kind of emptiness and confusion.

"Cough cough cough..." A series of heavy coughs and gasps in the room woke the young man up, "You bastard, come in here -!"

Hearing this vulgar and familiar voice, the young man walked back into the house calmly, looked at the haggard old man on the bed with an expressionless face, silently stepped forward to help pat his back, and asked: "Dad, you suddenly asked me to come in What to do?"

After the old man coughed and wheezed for a while, his face turned red, he blew his beard and glared: "What are you talking about? I heard everything Yang Laoqi just said. You kid, hurry up and pack up for me, and go to accept the test of the puppet master. !”

"But today's meat hasn't been sold out yet." The young man said reluctantly.

"You're buying shitty meat, so get out of here. If you can become a puppet master, isn't it better than killing pigs for the rest of your life?!" The old man was so angry that he almost fell off the bed.

Then, under the scolding from the old man, the young man finally walked out of the house and walked towards the central square of the town in silence and confusion.

As soon as the young man left, the old man on the bed showed a contented expression, and even his seriously ill complexion improved a little.

The old man has no name and has been wandering around since he can remember. People said that he was abandoned by his parents because he was too ugly. Later, even he himself thought so.

Fortunately, during his wandering, he met a butcher who taught him the art of killing pigs. He became a pig butcher in Yanshan Town and named himself Zhu Yidao.

I thought that after ending my wandering life, my fate would improve, but because he was so ugly and he was a butcher, no girl from home was willing to marry him.

How many years passed, and Zhu Yidao, who thought he was destined to have no descendants in this life, accidentally picked up an abandoned baby. He felt the same because he was abandoned since he was a child, so he took the abandoned baby back home, raised him carefully, and named him Zhu Youchen.

He had no choice but to live a poor life since he was a child, hoping that this little guy could live a mortal life.

He thought that this little guy was not ugly and would definitely not worry about finding a wife in the future. But what he didn't expect was that this little guy couldn't cry or laugh. People around him thought he would be a fool when he grew up.

In another flash, 16 years have passed, and the abandoned baby that was picked up has grown into a tall and handsome young man.

But it turns out that this child is indeed a little different from other children of the same age in the town, and he never cries or laughs from beginning to end.

Fortunately, this kid just looks a little stupid, not so stupid that he can't take care of himself. After 16 years, he has successfully learned his superb pig-killing skills.

I originally thought that this child would suffer his tragic fate, but I didn't expect that a puppet master would come to Yanshan Town to offer mercy and enlightenment.

This made Zhu Yidao see a glimmer of hope. Although the child might not be able to detect his soul talent even if he went there, it was better to have hope than not see a glimmer of hope.

……

In Yanshan Town, the square that used to be dilapidated has a completely new look after being tidied up by the residents of the town.

At this time, a large number of men, women, and children had already gathered in the town square. Of course, the protagonists today were the children in the crowd.

Zhu Youchen was reluctant to take part in any puppet master test, because he thought it would be good to be a pig butcher for the rest of his life. If the old man hadn't pointed his nose at him and asked him to come over, he would rather go to the back mountain to play with the small animals in the mountains.

"Chenzi, this way~ this way~ you are finally here!"

As soon as he arrived, he saw a strong, honest-looking young man in the crowd waving to him excitedly. This young man was Yang Jian, the son of Uncle Qi, and the only good friend among his peers in Yanshan Town who was willing to play with him. , also his friend since childhood.

The reason Zhu Youchen was able to play with Yang Jian was also due to the old friendship between his father Zhu Yidao and his seventh uncle.

As professional pig farmers in the town, Uncle Qi and his father Zhu Yidao can be regarded as lifelong partners.

However, Uncle Qi is a bit stingy. He is obviously a pig farmer, but he is reluctant to eat a little pork on weekdays. He himself is fine, but he pities his wife and children.Fortunately, this kid Yang Jian has played with Zhu Youchen since he was a child, eating and drinking with Zhu Youchen. Looking at his current appearance, you can tell that he has been eating and drinking a lot.

Seeing Yang Jian, Zhu Youchen was stunned for a moment, and then walked over quickly.

Seeing Zhu Youchen approaching, a lot of people of the same age next to him immediately started to tease him eccentrically.

"Hey, isn't this a fool? You are a fool, why are you here to join in the fun?!"

"Even if you don't pee and take a look at yourself, how could the puppet master give you a fool to do a test?"

"Fool Dust, I advise you to leave as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass Yanshan Town~!" A young man in gorgeous clothes who took the lead sneered.

This person is Xiong Shaolong, the youngest son of the mayor. He was also the second-generation Xiong who liked to bully Zhu Youchen since he was a child. Fortunately, as Zhu Youchen and Yang Jian grew older, his small body was no longer able to handle their needs.

Today's Xiong Shaolong has obviously taken care of himself carefully, especially the exquisite clothes on his body, which is really the envy of many of his peers around him.

"Xiong Shaoxiong, what do you mean?" Seeing a group of people making fun of Zhu Youchen, Yang Jian was not happy at the time, "On weekdays, relying on your father's status, it's okay to be a little arrogant. Today, I am the puppet master. If you want to come, who gave you the courage to show off here?"

"Yang Ergou, are you looking for a fight?!" Xiong Shaolong bared his teeth and claws angrily: "How many times have I told you that my name is Xiong Shaolong, not Xiong Shaoxiong!"

"It's a joke, you are only allowed to call me Yang Ergou, but I am not allowed to call you Xiong Shaoxiong, right?" Yang Jian retorted with a sneer.

"You——!" Xiong Shaolong was so angry that he wanted to use violence, but his father next to him glared back at him.

The mayor next to him who was dressed up and attending the ceremony said angrily: "Please give me some time to calm down. This is such a rare opportunity, so don't leave a bad impression on the puppet masters."

Xiong Shaolong immediately did not dare to speak louder, but glared at Zhu Youchen and Yang Jian fiercely.

Seeing this, Yang Jian snorted and sneered, then grinned and patted Feng Hao on the shoulder, comforting him: "Okay Chenzi, we don't have the same experience as him. If we can become a puppet master this time, his father will see Everyone has to nod and bow."

But Zhu Youchen shook his head disapprovingly. He didn't take this matter to your heart at all. After all, he couldn't feel emotions at all.

As a recognized fool in the town, Zhu Youchen has been accustomed to cynicism since he was a child. Others say he is a fool, but in his eyes, those who say he is a fool are fools.

"By the way, scissors, do you know what a puppet master does?" Zhu Youchen asked expressionlessly.

Yang Jian scratched his head in embarrassment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's just that he's very powerful."

"Ignorant!" Xiong Shaolong seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but feel contempt: "You don't even know what a puppet master is, and you still want to become a puppet master? Let me see, you two can still peacefully stay in Yanshan Town Raise pigs for a lifetime and kill pigs for a lifetime."

Yang Jian's face turned ugly, and he said coldly and sarcastically: "Tsk~ It's like you know what a puppet master does?"

"Let's just say you are bumpkins and have never seen the world, right?" Xiong Shaoxiong secretly said proudly, "You may not believe it, but I have a distant cousin in my family who is a noble puppet master."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the envy of the peers nearby, "Young Master Xiong, have you really seen a puppet master?"

"That's natural." Xiong Shaoxiong was complacent for a while, and then he started bragging to everyone.

When Yang Jian saw this, he sneered disdainfully: "What's so great about seeing a puppet master~!"

"Come on, Scissors, don't be acquainted with him. That's just the way he is. He wants to show off anything in front of the whole world." Zhu Youchen tugged at the corner of Yang Jian's clothes and comforted him expressionlessly.

Yang Jian smiled dumbly, and didn't bother to talk to Xiong Shaolong anymore.

At this moment, a sacred glow suddenly appeared in the sky and slowly spread over Yanshan Town.

Seeing this magical scene, the entire square fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at the sky excitedly. Many old men and women were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground and began to pray devoutly.

"Come on, come on, the puppet master is really here~!"

"Chenzi, look at it, it's so amazing, it's like a god."

Zhu Youchen was naturally attracted by the vision in the sky. The difference was that while others were attracted by excitement and anticipation, he was just because of the good looks and a little bit of curiosity.

Soon, a group of gorgeously dressed figures with extraordinary temperament appeared above Yanshan Town, and with bursts of holy light falling, more than a dozen puppet masters slowly landed in the center of the crowd.

The most eye-catching thing is the holy and beautiful woman at the head. This woman looks not much older than Zhu Youchen, but her beautiful face and the holy aura exuding from her body are unconsciously... Makes people want to worship.

I saw the woman dressed in simple and elegant white clothes, with black hair hanging on her shoulders like a waterfall, slowly dancing in the breeze.

The saintly woman looked around and then cast her peaceful eyes on the young people such as Zhu Youchen and Yang Jian. An indifferent smile appeared on her beautiful face.

It took the mayor a long time to calm down, and he hurried forward to greet him: "Xiong Ba, the mayor of Yanshan Town, would like to greet the saint and all the puppet masters."

"There is no need to be polite, mayor. I am visiting Qunzhou this time just to give more children the opportunity to embark on the path of being a puppet master." The saintly woman in the lead smiled charmingly, which was intoxicating.

Xiong Ba suppressed the excitement in his heart and stepped forward to invite him: "My lords, you are tired from traveling all the way. Why don't you go back to my house to rest first? I have prepared a banquet, so... "

Before Xiong Ba could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a gentle middle-aged man next to the holy woman: "We appreciate the mayor's kindness, but the holy woman is on a tight schedule for this tour and we don't want to waste too much time."

Xiong Ba looked embarrassed, "This..."

The middle-aged man was too lazy to talk nonsense to Xiong Ba. He turned to the boys and girls aside and asked, "Are these the children who are going to be tested? Can you please organize the mayor and let's start directly."
