Such a mark is often left by a master refiner or alchemist on his or her most satisfactory work, or on a work with special commemorative significance.
But they had never seen this mark before.
It can be said that the two of them are knowledgeable people. They are familiar with every weapon refining master within hundreds of thousands of miles around.
Since the weapon-refining master has his own mark, it stands to reason that even if he no longer refines weapons now, what about in the past
There should be some spiritual weapons and magic treasures he refined circulating outside, so how come they have never seen them
There was also the expression on Shuang Chongshan's face when he entered the store. Due to the emergency situation, he couldn't control himself very well, and the two of them saw it.
With their rich experience in killing people over the years, they could clearly see a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
They were very familiar with this kind of panic, which was the kind that any living creature could feel when faced with unstoppable danger.
They were confident that they had not seen it wrong, and that was definitely not the fear and surprise caused by the fact that the magic weapon was almost sold.
"What kind of secret does this puppet involve to make this person so frightened? He is already a cultivator in the False Dan realm, so you can imagine what can frighten him!"
So the two monks surnamed Ma had a tacit guess, and then asked whether such a puppet could be ordered.
However, no matter how sufficient Frost Chongshan's reasons were, they were not surprised. He definitely could not order puppets for them, and the other party could not tell them the name of the master who made the puppets.
When everything was basically the same as what they had guessed, the two of them were certain that the puppet had some unspeakable secret.
Although they couldn't be sure, the suspicion was enough to make these two people pay attention. Desperadoes like them wanted unexpected wealth the most.
Often such a reaction means a windfall.
Next, the two monks surnamed Ma continued to lower the opponent's vigilance and slowly approached each other. All of this was a piece of cake for them.
At the same time, they also secretly began to ask around about the meaning of the small mark they saw.
After spending a lot of spirit stones, he finally got an important clue four years later.
They got some information at an auction house and found out that the mark should be the mark left by the Duye tribe on some medium and high-level puppets.
The clerk told the two of them that the auction house had once sold a puppet from the Duye tribe, which had such a mark on it.
The branch of the Duye clan that was skilled in puppetry and mechanical engineering had disappeared for many years.
I heard that because they inherited a top-notch weapon refining technique called "Shen Jue Shu", they were coveted by others, so everyone in this branch was killed and there has been no news of them since then.
After receiving this news, the two monks surnamed Ma were extremely happy and felt that they had hit upon a fat sheep this time.
In order to make the information they received a final secret, they changed their appearance every time before inquiring for information.
This is to prevent others from suspecting them if the matter is leaked in the future.
Even after getting the information, the two of them risked their lives to lure out the guy from the auction house and kill him.
After that, he interacted with Shuang Chongshan and others for more than ten years without revealing any flaws.
And during these ten years, they finally tracked down another thing.
They finally saw Shuang Lianzhou fighting with someone on one occasion, but the puppet Shuang Lianzhou used that time was not the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider" that they had seen at the beginning.
Instead, it is a "three-legged blue phoenix", and from the way it is controlled, it can be seen that it is his natal magic weapon.
They clearly remembered that Shuang Chongshan said that the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider" puppet was bought for his son as his own magic weapon.
"They have more than one intermediate puppet, but he said that person no longer refines puppets for others because he values his lifespan!"
The two monks surnamed Ma sneered in their hearts, these puppets were clearly made by them.
It was not until after the incident that Shuang Lianzhou realized that his impulsive decision had led to a fatal mistake that almost destroyed his family and brought about a fatal disaster.
He was extremely excited after he successfully refined the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider". That was the first time he refined a mid-level puppet.
But if he were to use this puppet for himself, it was not what he wanted. However, if he were to give it to his wife who was in the Qi Condensation Stage, her cultivation was not enough for the time being, but it would definitely be a good choice in the future.
So, in his excitement, and thinking that he could give this treasure to his wife in the future, he went against Shuang Chongshan's wishes.
He actually secretly carved a tiny mark in a hidden place on one of the legs of the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider".
This is a proof from the Duye clan that they can officially refine intermediate puppets. It is a mark that the Duye clan has the right to leave only after reaching this level.
Shuang Chongshan had warned him many times before that he was not allowed to engrave the family mark on any puppet in the future.
But at that time, Shuang Lianzhou was not only excited, but also the influence he had received since childhood was deeply rooted in his mind.
Everyone in his clan would compete to see who could carve the family mark on a puppet in the shortest time.
Due to the excessive consumption of his spiritual consciousness at that time, he was already a little confused. This inheritance concept that had been engraved in his blood since childhood, and he thought of giving this treasure to his wife, so he subconsciously engraved it.
But afterwards, he actually forgot about it.
Shuang Chongshan was in a hurry at the time and could not identify it as the monk named Ma did, so he just observed it carefully for a while.
Shuang Chongshan quickly scanned it with his spiritual sense, confirmed that it was his son who refined it, and then put it away.
Later, when he questioned Frost Lianzhou with the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider", Frost Lianzhou still did not remember that he had engraved the family mark on it.
Although the puppet made by his son was of good quality, it was still too crude for Shuang Chongshan.
Just like a famous chef, when he sees his apprentice making a dish that he thinks is good, in his eyes, the appearance, aroma and taste are actually bad, of course he will only comment a few words, but will not taste it carefully. In addition, Shuang Chongshan has been warning his son about the family mark for many years, so he did not take Shuang Lianzhou seriously if he went against his wishes.
The matter of family imprint was thus overlooked at the very beginning.
After they explained the situation to Ming Ling, Shuang Lianzhou gave the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider" to his wife in advance and asked her to use her blood to make a sacrifice.
Now, Shuang Chongshan couldn't possibly go and investigate his daughter-in-law's life magic weapon...
The day went on until yesterday, when they faced a life-and-death crisis.
The path that monks take goes against the will of heaven, so having offspring is not an easy thing under the laws of heaven.
It was not until nearly thirty years after Shuang Lianzhou and Ming Ling became Taoist partners that Ming Ling finally became pregnant, which gave the two monks surnamed Ma an opportunity to take action.
The two of them thought that they were no match for Shuang Chongshan. Moreover, although they had never seen what Shuang Chongshan's life magic weapon was, they could still guess it even if they were dumb.
In this case, they were even more afraid to take action. However, they did not expect that although Shuang Chongshan had puppets, he did not have the law of life. However, this was not much different from what they had guessed.
They have always been on good terms with Shuang Chongshan and finally gained his trust.
However, the father and son of the Shuang family do not like to indulge in food and drink. They are extremely cautious and even have to make their own tea for daily drinking.
So if they wanted to poison food and drinks, they wouldn't have a single chance in more than a decade.
After learning that Mingling was pregnant, the two monks surnamed Ma had been planning. When Mingling was about to give birth, they finally didn't want to wait any longer.
So, he made the excuse that the two of them were going on a long journey and might not be able to return to the market for a year or two, so he wanted to congratulate Shuang Chongshan in advance before leaving.
The two monks surnamed Ma even prepared a valuable gift and sent it over, which Shuang Chongshan could not refuse at all, so he had no choice but to host a banquet for them.
No matter how many precautions you take, you still can't stop the hidden hand, as the other party is unintentional.
Although Shuang Chongshan remained vigilant, he finally succumbed to the other party's "East Flowing Water" after he was unable to refuse the glass of wine offered by the other party.
Even a Jindan cultivator cannot easily detect this poison, let alone a mountain full of frost.
By the time he realized something was wrong, the two monks surnamed Ma had already revealed their ferocious faces and demanded that Shuang Chongshan hand over the "Divine Technique".
At this point, Shuang Chongshan realized that these two people had known his true identity for a long time, and they had been carefully staging a big show for all these years.
In anger, he attacked without hesitation.
His move frightened the two monks named Ma, and they were both glad that they had not acted rashly before.
Shuang Chongshan controlled the giant red tiger, and with the help of Shuang Lianzhou, he killed the two of them so badly that they were sweating profusely and constantly dodging each other's sharp attacks.
But it didn't take long for Shuang Chongshan's poison to become more severe, and his fighting power was greatly reduced. The situation suddenly reversed, and Shuang Chongshan could only fight and flee.
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, Shuang Chongshan used all his remaining strength to trap the two opponents and tried to let Shuang Lianzhou and Ming Ling leave first.
Li Yan naturally knew what happened next.
After saying everything, Shuang Chongshan bowed deeply.
"Senior, can you please release Lian Zhou and his wife? They are simply dispensable to you.
I will take you to retrieve the "Shen Jue Shu" book. I have hidden it in a place. If you are afraid that I am talking nonsense, you can search my soul to verify it now. I just hope you will not make things difficult for Lian Zhou and the others afterwards.
After all, Ming Ling is also a human cultivator, and a junior. It is better to destroy a bridge than to break up a marriage. This is the most common truth among you humans!"
After saying this, Shuang Chongshan knelt on the ground.
Li Yan remained silent for a while, so that others didn't know what he was thinking. Shuang Lianzhou on the side had clenched his fists.
Mingling felt that her husband's spiritual power was unusual, and the sadness in her eyes became even stronger, and she held him tightly.
With tears on her face, Mingling knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Senior, for the sake of my human nature, please don't..."
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly raised his hand.
Kneeling on the ground, Shuang Zhongshan sensed the other party's movements. He sighed in his heart and closed his eyes.
Shuang Lianzhou had already broken free from his wife's hand and took a step forward with red eyes.
He couldn't bear to watch his relatives being soul-searched; that was the most extreme torture in the world. But as soon as he took a step forward, Li Yan's gaze swept over him.
With just this one glance, Shuang Lianzhou suddenly felt as if he was being pinned to the spot by an irresistible force.
This force instantly destroyed the courage he had just developed. He felt that he was so small in front of the other party that he was even smaller than an ant.
The hand that Li Yan raised generated a force that lifted Shuang Chongshan up.
Shuang Chongshan, who had his eyes closed, felt even more frightened, knowing that the next moment, the other party's big hand would cover his head. He had seen how his elders searched other people's souls.
"When did I ever tell you that I wanted your inheritance?"
Li Yan spoke softly, and his words made Shuang Chongshan, who had his eyes closed, tremble violently. After his eyelids twitched a few times, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Then, what came into view was the young man in green robe who had already withdrawn his hands and put them behind his back. He was looking at him calmly, his eyes as calm as water, without any ripples!
