Chapter 5 Let’s call you Da Zhuang
Although he failed to become a puppet master, the attitude of the men, women, and children in Yanshan Town towards Zhu Youchen has changed significantly. However, Zhu Youchen has no feelings about it. For him, other people's opinions will never affect him.

Only Yang Jian's departure could make him feel a slight touch.

After returning home, Zhu Youchen quickly returned to his previous state. At the same time, he soon heard the urgent shouting of his father in the house: "You bastard, get out of here and tell me, what are the results of today's test?!"

Zhu Youchen walked into the house silently and saw his father struggling to get up from the bed.

Seeing this, Zhu Youchen hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "The doctor has said that you can't get out of bed now, so lie down quickly."

"Lie down? I've been waiting all day, how can I still think about lying down?" Zhu Yidao blew his beard and glared: "Quickly tell me, what are the test results?"

Zhu Youchen told the story of what happened today with an expressionless face. He thought that his father would be disappointed when he learned about his situation, but what he didn't expect was that when his father learned that he could become a puppet master, he... The old man burst into tears with excitement.

"Hahaha...Okay, okay...cough..." Dad was so excited that he almost couldn't breathe. Fortunately, Zhu Youchen patted his back in time to calm him down.

"All the puppet masters have said that in my situation, I can only cultivate to the Eryin realm at most, and I will not be a real puppet master." Zhu Youchen said calmly, without any regrets about his situation.

Although Zhu Yidao didn't know what Eryin Puppet Controller was, he didn't care about it, "You know nothing! No matter how bad a puppet control master is, he is still a puppet control master. Is it no better than you killing pigs here? You kid is going to do it now Find the valuable things at home, quickly!"

"What?" Zhu Youchen asked confused.

"I will prepare some expenses for you and go to Lanxin City as soon as possible. You are someone who can become a puppet master. Only by going to a big city can you have a better future." Zhu Yidao thought to himself and said excitedly.

Facing his father's excited look, Zhu Youchen couldn't help but frown slightly: "I won't go."

"What?! The wings are stiff, right?" Zhu Yidao blew his beard and stared, "You don't even listen to what I say?"

"..." Zhu Youchen remained silent, silently bringing the food cooked outside the house to his father.

Although Zhu Yidao had a bad temper, after seeing the medicine in front of him, his heart softened and he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Dad knows the current situation. I'm afraid this time I don't have much time."

"Don't say such unlucky words. You are not even 70 years old, and it is still early for you to die." Zhu Youchen said expressionlessly.

But Zhu Yidao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He raised his head and drank the medicine in one gulp. "Dad is not joking with you this time. He has been wandering all his life, sleeping in the open air, and has already become sick from overwork. The one he worried about the most was you. Fortunately, God has eyes and allowed you to detect your talent as a puppet master when I was dying."

For some reason, Zhu Youchen, who used to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, felt a little nervous and uneasy in his heart when his father said these words.

Zhu Youchen stared blankly at the old face in front of him, as if to confirm whether he was joking.

"Chenzi, promise dad, you won't stay in this small Yanshan Town no matter what. You have a chance to become a puppet master. Big cities are where you really should go. Do you hear me?" Zhu Yidao's expression More serious than ever.

Zhu Youchen remained silent, as if he was rejecting his father's request with silence.

When Zhu Yidao saw this, he spit out a mouthful of old blood in anger, gritted his teeth and said with a pale face: "I'm asking you, did you hear me?!"

"Yes." Under his father's strong request, Zhu Youchen finally nodded helplessly.

Carefully, he helped his father lie down on the bed, and skillfully wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps because he received Zhu Youchen's affirmative answer, Zhu Yidao's pale face showed a touch of satisfaction and relief, and his voice lost the strength just now and seemed a little weak: "Okay, you go prepare yours first, dad is a little tired."

After saying that, he fell into a deep sleep, but before Zhu Youchen realized it, his father never woke up from his sleep...

After feeling his father's steady breathing, Zhu Youchen cautiously left the back room and looked out the window at the sunset. His empty eyes showed a little confusion and a trace of unchanging calm.

"Puppet Controller... Puppet Controller..." Zhu Youchen murmured quietly, unconsciously recalling the scene of Yaochan releasing the puppet in his mind, and then, as if by a strange coincidence, he took out the book "Nine Grand Jue" : "Is being a puppeteer really better than killing a pig?"

After a moment of doubt, Zhu Youchen turned to the first page of "Nine Great Jue".

Then, just like a toddler, he started trying according to the formulas and written annotations in Jiuhong Jue.

Unknowingly, when Zhu Youchen opened his eyes again, it was already early the next morning. A night of experimentation and practice had allowed him to roughly understand the so-called training of a puppet master.

To put it simply, it is to let yourself relax your body and mind as much as possible, feel something called magic in the world with your heart, and then absorb the magic into your body according to the meridians in the Nine Grand Jue, and control the magic to flow into your mind. By nurturing and impacting one's own soul, something called a [soul box] will be formed, thereby locking the foundation of the three souls of heaven, earth, and man.

After possessing the soul box, one can control the magic power to wash away the three souls of heaven, earth and man, and then gradually separate the three souls of heaven, earth and man from the body, forming a so-called demon doll.

It was not difficult for Zhu Youchen to let go of his body and mind, so Zhu Youchen's practice went very smoothly that night.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, he could clearly feel the sea of ​​consciousness mentioned in "Nine Grand Jue", and in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness, three large, seven small and ten light groups were arranged just like the lamps on the demon soul lamp. Same, running slowly in the center of the sea of ​​consciousness.

"It seems like these are my three souls and seven souls, right?"

Just as Yao Chan said, among the three large light clusters representing the three souls, one is obviously smaller than the other two.Through Yaochan's previous explanation, Zhu Youchen already knew that the culprit behind his inability to laugh or cry since he was a child, and his inability to feel emotions, was this weak light ball.

At the same time, what hinders him from becoming a true puppet master is this weak light ball called [Human Soul].

In fact, Zhu Youchen's tragic fate was also because of it. After all, if he hadn't been unable to cry or laugh since he was a child, he wouldn't have been abandoned as a fool.

Therefore, when Feng Hao saw the weak light ball, which was his human soul, with his own eyes, Feng Hao felt a little complicated and curious.

In addition, at the center of the three souls, there is a halo similar to a whirlpool, which firmly pulls the three souls around.

Through the introduction and annotations in "Nine Grand Jue", Zhu Youchen knew that this whirlpool-like halo was the core of the puppet master's power - the [Soul Box].

That's right, after just one night of practice, Zhu Youchen successfully condensed the [Soul Box]. I'm afraid neither Yaochan nor Dean Pei would have thought that Zhu Youchen could condense the [Soul Box] so quickly.

It can only be said that they still underestimate how much a mind without distracting thoughts can improve cultivation. After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to achieve a complete mind without distracting thoughts, so no one knows the absolute absence of distracting thoughts. The efficiency of cultivation is terrifying, but Zhu Youchen can do this easily.

Of course, Zhu Youchen didn't know how fast his cultivation was progressing, and he subconsciously felt that other puppet masters were also practicing at such a fast pace.

"According to the book, it seems that the magic power required to separate the first demon is not much? In this case, it is better to try it directly."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen no longer hesitated, and directly began to use the puppet control technique, absorbing the magic power between heaven and earth, and continuously washing the magic power on the light group representing the [Heavenly Soul].

After just one stick of incense, Zhu Youchen clearly felt a pain like soul tearing in his mind. Then, the light group representing the heavenly soul split instantly and turned into two light groups of similar size. , one of them was still being pulled by the soul box, while the other one, like a beast breaking free from its cage, instantly broke through the sea of ​​consciousness and sprang out from between Zhu Youchen's brows.

Then, under Zhu Youchen's blank gaze, the ball of light that rushed out turned into a dark red figure that was about the same size as him and had the same appearance. However, the energy body in front of him, Zhu Youchen, was much stronger than Zhu Youchen.

At the same time, the tip of Zhu Youchen's left thumb was inexplicably wrapped in a tadpole-like dark red stream of light. Following Zhu Youchen's movements, a dark red light tail was dragged out.

Through the stream of light at his fingertips, Zhu Youchen could clearly feel the close connection between himself and the demon doll.

"This should be what the book calls [Soul Guide], right?"

Zhu Youchen didn't quite understand the role of the soul guide, but he vaguely felt that the soul guide should be the link between the puppet master and the puppet.

Out of curiosity, Zhu Youchen subconsciously wanted to get up and look around, but at the same time he had this idea, the puppet in front of him also got up.

Although Zhu Youchen couldn't feel emotions, he was not stupid, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Afterwards, Zhu Youchen tried to control the demon puppet with his mind. After some simple attempts and adaptation, with the faint light of soul guidance at his fingertips, the dark red demon puppet walked in front of him.

"So that's it." Zhu Youchen nodded suddenly, and then said to himself thoughtfully: "My first demon puppet seems to be called a war puppet. Coupled with this strong body shape, I guess it should be a demon that is good at strength. I."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youchen walked to the dilapidated wooden table beside him without thinking, and the dark red demon puppet also walked to the opposite side of the table under his control.

Then, Zhu Youchen tried to grab his wrist with his demon puppet, wanting to feel how much stronger the demon puppet was compared to a human being.

He has been killing pigs since he was a child, and he thinks he is much stronger than his peers. But when he controlled the puppet and started to exert force, his right arm was instantly slapped on the table, and then he heard a bang. The wooden table fell into pieces on the spot, and Zhu Youchen was thrown to the ground hard. His whole arm seemed to be broken, and he was sweating in pain.

At this moment, Zhu Youchen truly realized the power of the puppet master. At the same time, he felt for the first time that ordinary people and the puppet master were completely different from each other.

After a long time, the right arm gradually regained consciousness. Zhu Youchen stared blankly at the expressionless dark red puppet in front of his eyes, feeling as if he was looking in a mirror.

Although this experience did not make him much interested in the puppet master, it made him realize the power of the puppet.

Not to mention anything else, with this war puppet, at least in the future, when killing pigs, there will be no need for helpers. He does not even need to do it himself. With the power of this war puppet, he can kill an adult meat with one hand. The pig was held down tightly and could not move.

"Since you are so strong and you are my number one demon, I will call you Da Zhuang from now on."

Zhu Youchen looked at his war partner thoughtfully for a long time, and then, regardless of how the war partner felt, he gave his first demon puppet a simple and crude, but extremely appropriate nickname with an expressionless face.

Of course, there will be no reaction from Da Zhuang. After all, the devil itself has no intelligence and self-awareness.

After Zhu Youchen helped Dazhuang pick a name, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the room in confusion, "It's strange, dad wasn't woken up by such a loud noise?"

Suddenly, Zhu Youchen felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

In the past, when Dad was sleeping, even if he chopped meat too loudly, he would be scolded. But this time, when the table was smashed into pieces, Dad didn't react at all.
