Not climbing the Qingyun Ladder

Chapter 5

"Wanpuppet Gate?" Hua Xiangrong asked doubtfully.This Su Budu is well-informed.

Wan Puppet Sect, as the name suggests, those who enter the Puppet Way and practice the Puppet Technique.It is said that their puppetry skills have been mastered to the extreme, and they can control four cultivators who have sought the path at the same time for their own use.There are also rumors that a sword cultivator who was once famous in the world of cultivation suddenly disappeared and was actually turned into a puppet by the Wanpuppet Sect.

"Exactly, the people of Wanpuppet Sect are famous for their puppetry skills. I think all the people in Yiling are trapped by his puppetry skills." Su Budu said.

Therefore, the people on Yiling Street all have expressionless faces and have no reaction to the outside world. They are just immersed in their own world.This is a very advanced puppetry technique. The person who performs the technique does not know that he is being manipulated and thinks that everything is normal.

"How does Mr. Su know that he is from the Wanpuppet Sect?"

"Nothing unusual was found at first, but when the shopkeeper finally stood up, he clearly had the mark of Wan Puppet Gate on the back of his neck, and I happened to see it." Su Budu said.

The mark Su Budu mentioned was the one Hua Xiangrong saw.It is a black full moon with a white dot in the middle.It looks like a birthmark, and most people wouldn't associate it with Wan Puppet Gate.

"Also, Miss Xiangrong, don't you think the ghost oiran is a bit strange?" Su Budu added.

Of course it's strange.When she heard the store owner's story, she felt something was wrong.The ghost courtesan came to seek revenge, but he just strangled the county guard who ordered her to be killed, leaving the betrayed county guard's son behind and letting everyone else go.This is inconsistent with her taking a bride the following month and killing them all.

It almost looks like two people.

"Mr. Su suspects that the ghost courtesan is being manipulated?"

"Miss Xiangrong is really smart as ice and snow." Su Budu looked at him with a half-smile.

"Young Master Su is overrated, but I think that since the ghost courtesan only killed the county guard and spared the others, it means that she is not an indiscriminate killer. It is not her intention to kill a bride in a month." Hua Xiangrong Having said this, he sighed slightly.

These people from the Wanpuppet Sect are really "smart". They blame all the strange things in Yiling on the ghost oiran, and they hide behind and enjoy the benefits.Now there is another question: Why did he use the puppet technique on everyone in Yiling?

Hua Xiangrong frowned slightly, but wasn't that kind of evil magic extinct long ago?

"Miss Xiangrong is right, that's why we have to leave here quickly. If we stay for a moment longer, we will be in more danger." Su Budu said.

"Master Su, what will happen to the people in the caravan when we leave?" Hua Xiangrong suppressed these thoughts for the time being and asked Su Budu.

Su Budu was stunned, looking at her black and white peach blossom eyes, as if he really wondered why he did this.

"Miss Xiangrong, I didn't expect you to be a good person."

Hua Xiangrong really didn't like to be a good person, but she was a little interested in that ghost oiran, so she just left like that, and she still felt unwilling to do so.Also, she wanted to know whether the people from the Wanpuppet Sect wanted to practice that evil magic.

"I just know how to repay kindness," she said.

Su Budu smiled and asked, "So, do you want Miss Rong to know how to deal with this person from the Wanpuppet Sect?"

Hua Xiangrong shook her head: "I don't know, but Mr. Pei of Canglan Sect should know."

And even if Pei Jin doesn't know, Su Budu must know.He is definitely not an ordinary monk, he should have a great background.Hua Xiangrong's mind was spinning, thinking carefully about the loopholes she had not discovered yet.

"Since I want to let the girl say this, I am willing to do my best." Su Budu said.

I see you don't want to leave.Hua Xiangrong thought silently.This man tested himself repeatedly, but he didn't know what his purpose was.It's better to be more careful.

"Young Master Su is so righteous." Hua Xiangrong said with a smile.

"The same goes for Miss Xiangrong."

After Su Budu finished speaking, he said goodbye and left her room.Hua Xiangrong was sitting in the inn room, completely sleepless. Under the dim light, she remembered the past again.A hundred years have just passed by in a hurry, like a dream.

She just sat in the room all night. Early the next morning, she casually washed up and went downstairs.

Pei Jin and Su Budu sat opposite each other, with the store owner standing next to them.

"You two young masters got up so early, do you have any way to deal with that ghost oiran?" Hua Xiangrong asked.

"Miss Su is here too," Pei Jin said.

"Xiang Rong, Brother Pei has already thought of a way to deal with the ghost oiran. I believe we can rescue Mr. Sun and stop innocent women from being killed." Su Budu said with a smile on his face.

This man is really good at climbing the ladder. Yesterday he said that she was his distant cousin, but today he changed his name in front of everyone.

"That's great."

Then she noticed that Pei Jin and Su Budu were both looking at her with some inexplicable meaning in their eyes.

Hua Xiangrong suddenly felt bad, and suddenly felt that the secrets of ghost courtesans and evil spirits were not so important anymore.

"Miss Su, I have a merciless request." Sure enough, Pei Jin said.

"Master Pei, please speak."

"Girl, please look at this." The store owner handed her a piece of paper.

"If you want yesterday's bride to survive, use the woman who just moved in to your inn to replace her." The words were in black and red, revealing an unspeakable evilness.

Hua Xiangrong never expected that this would happen. What on earth was this ghost oiran, or rather this puppet cultivator from the Wanpuppet Sect, thinking about?Why did you suddenly decide on her?

"The governor's mansion is now occupied by a ghost courtesan. The situation inside is unknown, so we can't rush in. So we can only trouble Miss Su. As soon as the ghost court lady shows up, Brother Su and I will immediately join forces to surrender her." Pei Jin's tone sounded very strange. It's guilt.

What are you feeling guilty about?Pretending.

Hua Xiangrong said angrily: "Mr. Pei, have you ever thought that I am just a weak woman and the ghost oiran can take my life at any time?"

"Of course we know this, so Brother Pei will give you a charm for self-defense." Su Budu said quickly.

"What if this is a trap set by the ghost courtesan?" Hua Xiangrong asked.

Su Budu showed his warm signature smile and said unhurriedly: "Xiangrong, I believe you are a good person, and you definitely don't want to see the bride die yesterday."

It was clearly the tone of spring breeze, but it made people feel that there was something hidden inside.

Hua Xiangrong silently retracted her evaluation of him as a "good person" and felt that he was really nothing.

"Miss Xiangrong, you didn't want to run away last night, so you have to feel aggrieved today." Su Budu said to her in a forced tone.

"Brother is absolutely right. In that case, Mr. Pei, please give me the talisman." Hua Xiangrong smiled, thinking that the first thing she would do after she could practice was to chop Su Budu with a sword.

Pei Jin's technique of drawing talisman was very skillful. Hua Xiangrong looked on coldly, as if he had learned from Dan Qiuzi.This old man was a well-known talisman cultivator with weird and unruly behavior. He insisted on challenging her back then, shouting that although the sword was sharp, it could not penetrate one of his talisman papers.

In front of everyone, Feng Yuqing used the Red Earth Sword to destroy the piece of paper with just one blow.Because of this incident, Dan Qiuzi announced that he would not be able to come out of seclusion until Fu Dao advanced to a higher level.I didn't expect that he would go to Canglan Sect after not seeing him for a hundred years. It was really unexpected.

Hua Xiangrong took Pei Jin's spell and said, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

It was the Talisman of Endless Life, but Pei Jin was generous in giving it away. Once he gave it away, it was the legendary life-saving talisman.And being able to draw such a level of talisman shows that Pei Jin is quite advanced.

"This talisman is called the Talisman of Endless Life. It can offset Miss Su's damage when she receives a fatal attack." Pei Jin said.

She noticed that when Pei Jin gave her the Talisman of Endless Life, the store owner's expression changed.Su Budu still shook his folding fan, looking unsurprised.

The three people walked to the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion and saw no one.

Su Budu said to Pei Jin, "Brother Pei, why don't you try to call that ghost oiran out?"

Pei Jin replied: "Brother Su should do this."

The two of them were being humble when suddenly a strong wind blew and it turned dark in the blink of an eye.The ghost oiran appeared in front of the county governor's house, and the red lantern at the door suddenly lit up.

The three people's first reactions when they saw the ghost courtesan were all surprised.Although yesterday she was still a crying and laughing female ghost, but now that I saw her, I realized that it was quite normal for the son of the county governor to have a private life with her.

Because she is really beautiful.Even wearing a red dress, it looks very glamorous under the red lanterns, and it makes people feel beautiful.Her facial features can be described as soft and charming, like a charming peony.There is a faint smile on the corner of the lips, which is heart-stirring.

What a beauty. In terms of charm, she can rival Shui Shengyan.Hua Xiangrong thought.

"I only asked for this girl to come, why are you two grown men so eager to follow me? Are you here to be the escorts?" the ghost flower oiran spoke in a very soft voice.

Then she looked at Hua Xiangrong and said, "But it's normal for you to like her. Look at her face. I feel pity for her."

The tone of her speech was also very similar to Shui Shengyan, the woman who had always been a bit nagging.

"I'm already here, where is yesterday's bride?" Hua Xiangrong asked.

"Don't worry, she is alive and well." The ghost flower oiran replied.

"There is no basis for what you say." Hua Xiangrong said lightly.

The ghost oiran chuckled softly: "It's funny how you think about others even when you can't protect yourself."

She reached out and grabbed it, and a woman in wedding clothes appeared in her hands.The woman's face was full of fear, her face was pale, and her whole body was trembling.

The ghost oiran clicked his tongue and threw her over.

Then she stared at Hua Xiangrong and asked: "These two people took you in exchange to save yesterday's bride. Don't you hate them?"

Hua Xiangrong didn't speak, let's see what else she could say.

"If you hate them, tell me now and I can help you kill them." Ghost Flower Oiran added.

Hua Xiangrong shook her head: "But I don't hate them."

"Why?" the ghost oiran asked with great interest.

At this moment, Pei Jin and Su Budu looked at each other and took action at the same time.

Pei Jin threw eight talismans one after another. The talismans emitted golden light and surrounded the ghost oiran from eight directions.Su Budu first put the bride in a safe place with quick eyes and hands, then a jade flute appeared in his hand and started playing slowly.

Bagua Demon Subduing Formation?Old man Dan Qiuzi doesn't know how to do this. It seems that Pei Jin's teachings are quite mixed.

And Su Budu, it turns out he is Le Xiu.What he was holding was. Hua Xiangrong's eyes showed shock for the first time.

That is the white jade flute of King Qin.

It seems that after practicing, I have to put off the idea of ​​killing him with a sword, at least until I find the Red Dust Sword of All Beings and the Shangqing Kong Ming Jue and practice to the sixth level.

This man really hides his secrets.With his strength, even ten ghost courtesans were not enough to kill him, but he still had to wait until now.That means there are other plans.

"Ah, ah, ah, it hurts so much." The Ghost Flower Oiran's shrill voice sounded, looking very painful amidst the golden light and the sound of the flute.

"Help me, help me," she wailed, no longer as calm as before.

After the golden light dissipated, the ghost oiran had disappeared.

"She's not dead yet." Su Budu said.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a master hidden in this small caravan. It's really scary." As if to confirm his words, the ghostly oiran's voice sounded faintly.

The three people turned around and saw the owner of Duofu Inn and a woman standing together.That woman was not a ghost courtesan, or in other words, she was not a ghost court lady from the beginning.

She was born out of water, just borrowing the body of an courtesan.Now that the oiran's body is gone, she will naturally return to her original body.

At the same time, gray mist appeared under the three people's feet, and Su Budu and Pei Jin both fell to the ground with a groan.After the fog dissipated, a formation appeared on the ground, and they were trapped in the formation.

White silk threads emerged from the ground and tied the three people tightly, unable to move at all.

This is the puppet silk of the Ten Thousand Puppet Sect. It is extremely tough and can only be cut with a magic weapon.Back then, the owner of the Wanpuppet Sect relied on the puppet silk in his hand and fought with him for half an hour.It is indeed difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, this shop is still relatively new, and the toughness of the puppet silk is not half as good as that of their owner.Thinking about it, Su Budu's strength was more than enough to handle it.What's even more dangerous is the water-borne smoke next to him.

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Shui Shengyan, you should all have heard of it." The woman said with a smile.

"Wan Puppet Gate, Chen Shen." The shopkeeper, who no longer needed to pretend, had an expressionless face.

No wonder the people on the street who were controlled by the puppet technique had expressionless faces. It turned out to be the puppet master.Hua Xiangrong thought to herself, if this water-born smoke could do puppetry, then people on the street would not be able to look at smoke and behave in a flattering manner.Just thinking about it gives you chills down your spine.

"This girl is so brave. She can still laugh at this moment." Shui Shengyan said.

"Aren't you some distant cousin of his?" She pointed at Su Budu and said firmly.

"Mrs. Lu is joking. She is my cousin Su Xiangrong. It's true." The jade flute in Su Budu's hand has disappeared. He is now tied up by Wu Hua Da, and he still looks leisurely and at ease, as if it has nothing to do with him. .

Hua Xiangrong almost laughed out loud.What Shui Shengyan hates most is being called Mrs. Lu, which can be said to be her reverse scale.This Su Budu is very courageous.

Sure enough, Shui Shengyan's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Looking for death."
