Regardless of whether Ling Han and Shui Yanyu were willing or not, Bu Zhengyun was obviously determined to follow them.
In his words, as a host, it is of course his duty to accompany his guests and introduce them to them.
He accompanied Ling Han and the two of them. No matter where they went, he followed them step by step. This could be regarded as being very enthusiastic, or he could be regarded as monitoring them.
Ling Han originally wanted to visit various houses in the village, but as soon as he deviated from the main road, Bu Zhengyun would stop them. On the grounds that the people here did not like to be disturbed, they would not be allowed to go there, and the two of them were not even allowed to go with him. Pedestrians on the road chatted with each other.
This attempt to hide it made Ling Han even more suspicious.
However, because he had no intention of falling out with the island owner, Ling Han did not take any drastic action and simply walked around outside before returning to the manor.
Luo Wu and Fan Yong both went to Guo Xiuwen to learn the puppetry technique. If they were really geniuses in this area, then if they learned this technique and returned to the imperial capital, their status would definitely reach a higher level.
One can gain a pivotal position in the family, and the other no longer has to follow Zhao Lun. He can stand alone and be qualified to establish his own power.
Therefore, the two of them are very active.
Liu Ying didn't seem interested at first, but then she seemed to be interested and went out frequently.
In contrast, Yang Tiecheng only wanted to go back, Jin Zhihui only had sword-making in his eyes, Yin Yuanxiang lived in seclusion and had always been unsociable, and Futian had no interest in anything other than cultivation.
Time passed day by day, and Luo Wu, Fan Yong, and Liu Ying simply didn't come back, as if they were addicted to learning puppetry.
On the seventh day, Guo Xiuwen came over and invited Ling Han and Shui Yanyu to watch the puppet he was about to make.
Ling Han was not interested in learning puppetry, but he was very curious about the role of puppets, so he readily agreed and went to the workshop in the manor with Shui Yanyu.
There are two workshops here, one large and one small. The small workshop is Pei Ji's private place. Even his five apprentices can only enter after getting special permission. The big one is here.
Pei Ji taught his five brothers how to make puppets here, and they usually practiced here.
The workshop is divided into several rooms, and the sound insulation effect is very good. Otherwise, if people in other rooms can think peacefully while banging, banging, banging, etc.
"Making puppets is very particular, from the selection of raw materials to the carving of array patterns and filling of true essence stones." Guo Xiuwen introduced as he walked. He led Ling Han and the two to a room that belonged to him. territory.
The place is huge and surrounded by various materials and tools.
"I'm making a humanoid puppet these days, and it's almost in the final stage."
This time, he finally stopped riding on the tiger-shaped puppet, but still followed him. If you only looked at it from behind, it was completely indistinguishable from a real tiger, but from the front, the two eyes were obviously too fake. Yes, two red gems are embedded in it instead of real eyes.
He pointed at a humanoid puppet with a look of obsession on his face.
This puppet is covered in white bandages, so it can only be seen that it is a human figure. As for the fact that it is made of materials, it is completely indefensible.
"The achievement of a puppet master is to make a puppet that is as real as a fake." He stroked the half-finished product, showing excitement, and said, "You two, please enjoy it."
He cut open the puppet's chest, which was empty. Twelve pairs of ribs could be clearly seen, but they were not white, but light golden.
"The bones have been specially treated and plated with a layer of divine iron. Because the raw materials of the puppets have different levels, the levels of the divine iron they are plated with are also different. For this one, third-level divine iron is enough." Guo Xiuwen explained to Ling Han and the others while processing it quickly.
"Pay attention, every bone is engraved with formation patterns. This is very important. After all, this is not a living body. Only by relying on formation patterns can each part be activated, and you have to consider everything, otherwise the fist will be swung, But the feet are retreating, which is naturally not possible.”
Guo Xiuwen was very interested. He didn't care whether Ling Han or the others understood or were interested. He just talked to himself.
"The last step is to load the True Essence Stone to activate the formation pattern." He took a dozen True Essence Stones and then said to Shui Yanyu, "Miss Shui, do you want to load the True Essence Stone yourself to activate this formation?" A puppet?"
Shui Yanyu shook her head quickly. Although she knew it was just a prop, but with the concept of "people", she naturally felt that such an approach was disgusting.
Guo Xiuwen chuckled and did not try to persuade her any more, but said: "No matter how powerful the existence is, it will eventually die, and no matter how beautiful the woman is, she will also have a moment of withering."
He stuffed the True Essence Stones into the puppet's belly one by one, and then stared at Shui Yanyu, his eyes becoming hot: "Miss Shui, you are so beautiful and charming. Such a face and such a body should be frozen forever, and You shouldn’t grow old, otherwise it’s an evil act!”
"This has nothing to do with Brother Guo," Ling Han interjected.
"Haha, I lost my composure, I lost my composure!" Guo Xiuwen apologized quickly and closed the puppet's chest. Of course, he did not use needles and threads, but iron rings to fasten the chest. Look carefully, the other end of the iron rings Pierced in the spine.
"Now, please enjoy!" He took a step back, showing an enthusiastic expression.
Buzz, the puppet opened its eyes suddenly, and then stood up suddenly. It seemed a little confused, looking around.
"In that hole in the center of the earth, a substance will escape every year or so. We call it 'divine mist'. When the divine mist is blended into the puppet, it will stimulate unexpected effects, such as -" Guo Xiuwen said on the side.
The puppet suddenly stared at Ling Han, its eyes no longer wandering, and through the gaps in the bandages, one could see the eyes emitting a wolf-like light.
"Ho!" The humanoid puppet let out a low roar, kicked its feet, and rushed towards Ling Han.
This burst out very quickly. It stretched out one hand and could see two fingers that were not covered by bandages. They were like metal. The fingertips were extremely sharp and exuded a cold sheen.
Ling Han was not afraid and punched him forward.
Bang!
After hitting the target, Ling Han couldn't help but take a few steps back, but the puppet just trembled slightly, stabilized, let out another scream, and attacked Ling Han again.
Ling Han evaluated the power of the mid-term and even late-stage of the Great Extreme of Mountain and River Realm. When the gravity pattern was activated, the puppet suddenly staggered and almost fell down.
But Ling Han also frowned, feeling very strenuous.
The opponent's strength was only at the extreme position, but it made him feel so strenuous. There was only one reason, and that was that the opponent was too heavy!
The same gravity effect on a rock and a mountain naturally consumes completely different amounts of power.
Thinking of what Guo Xiuwen said before, the puppet's skeleton was plated with divine gold, and the weight must be astonishing.
What Ling Han didn't understand was why this puppet would attack him, even though he didn't see Guo Xiuwen give the order.
boom! boom! boom!
The puppets continued to bombard him, seemingly destined to kill Ling Han.
