Xia Wushuang's puppet technique is superb, and with the government's push and announcement, there will always be people who are about to die and come here with a glimmer of hope.
When the first person came back to life through the body of a puppet.
In the face of the enthusiasm of the mortals, Xia Wushuang understood that with her help, the King of Chu would be able to rule the world.
According to the usual way, people who cultivate the Tao are already walking against the sky, and they should no longer interfere in world affairs. Once the shot is made, the small one will not practice well, and the big one will be punished.
Other cultivators cherish feathers, and naturally they won't be in this mess.
It's just that she became a monk halfway through, and when she came to this world, she didn't even know who she was, and she was kidnapped by kidnappers. If Chu Shi hadn't acted, she wouldn't even know how she died.
Then the roosters and robbers said that they were bandits together, but they never did thieves once, and Xia Wushuang also knew the identity of the princess—thus saving her from being at a loss and suffering from exile.
Later, I woke up with a vague memory and learned that I was not a person from this world, let alone any irregularities.
She, Xia Wushuang, only does what she wants to do, likes the people she wants to like, even if she throws her head and sheds blood, and she will die without a burial in the future, it is her own business.
The grace of a drop of water will be reciprocated by the spring.
- Nothing to regret.
Doudou looked at Xia Wushuang who was in high spirits and desperate in his memory, and said sadly, "People who say that they have no regrets just don't know the price."
A hundred years later, Gu Peijiu naturally knew what the cost of the puppet art of returning from the dead would be.
But she can't do anything.
In this past memory, in front of the river of time that has flowed, she can only look at her silently, watching her step by step towards the endless abyss.
As soon as the sign was released, Lingxi Peak, which was originally a den of thieves, suddenly became famous. Countless people who wanted to ask for longevity came to apprentice, and naturally countless people who were dying left Wan Jin and wanted to ask Xia Wushuang to continue his life.
Xia Wushuang refused to accept anyone who came to him. Those who came to be a teacher would directly teach the method, and those who came to extend their lives would make puppets to extend their lives.
But there is only one requirement for a puppet that comes back from the dead, whether it comes from her or other puppet masters who have learned the secret method.
is—
"join the army."
For unruly puppets, Xia Wushuang's countermeasures are very simple, there is a ban in the secret arts, those who disobey will explode and die.
This prohibition is clearly written for all who come to survive.
Xia Wushuang worked hard day and night, and didn't even leave her small workshop for a few days.
Su Chuan advised her not to be so tired.
Xia Wushuang said, "...No, I want to hurry up."
Su Chuan: "Why does it have to be like this? Without these puppets, would the King of Chu definitely be defeated? Those soldiers would also be able to—"
Xia Ge interrupted her and said, "It's different."
"In this case, if there are more puppet soldiers, the people will not be recruited, and taxes will be reduced. With one more puppet, there will be less wives and children, and the widows will be lonely."
"...give the dead hope of living, and the living a dream of dwelling."
Xia Wushuang looked at the material of the puppet, his eyes shining brightly, "When the war is over, I believe that Ashi can bring light to this country."
Su Chuan was not happy, but he didn't say anything, just squatted at the door with his knees in his arms, guarding with Gu Peijiu.
"She will kill herself." Su Tan said, "A cultivator can't interfere in mundane affairs. I'm not happy with her like this."
Gu Peijiu's snow-white sleeves were not stained with light dust, she stood on the other side and did not speak.
"And what is the name of Chu Shi, he doesn't like her at all." Su Chuan said, "Why did she do this for her?"
Gu Peijiu glanced at her.
"What are you looking at?" The little girl in red had bare white feet, "I hate her, and I don't like you either."
Don't speak after speaking.
Gu Peijiu thought, this little girl is really going too far, she is clearly talking about herself, she glanced at her, but was told she was not.
Soon, Mr. Zero, Mr. Xia Wushuang prepared a total of 30,000 puppet troops for Chu Shi.
Doudou said, "This is really not right."
"It's just that at that time, everyone was dreaming, but they forgot to look at the abyss under their feet."

When Xia Ge woke up again, he had returned to the Thousand Souls Sect.
The soft snow-white carpet is spread all over the ground, the silk on the body is soft and silky, the desert is cold, the warm stove is jumping with bright and extinguishing flames, and the room is full of warmth.
The dark soul is still on his body.
Why did she come back suddenly
Xia Ge was a little bewildered.
There was a blank space in her head that she couldn't remember. She thought hard for a while, intermittently, it seemed like... the rain, she saw the shadow of Senior Sister... Then, it was gone.
Can't remember anything.
"...Miss, please rest for a while."
A cautious voice sounded, Xia Ge raised his eyes, and only then did he realize that there was a little maid in Tsing Yi kneeling under the bed, her head bowed, a plate held high, and a bowl of bird's nest smelled of fragrance," the leader said. The lady suddenly fainted in the rain, I'm afraid she's a little weak... Let you get up and have a drink."
Xia Ge pursed his lips, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "I don't want to drink, you take it."
The little maid immediately started crying, but she didn't dare to say anything, she could only nod timidly, "Yes... yes."
Seeing her like that, Xia Ge's heart softened slightly, but her mouth was still fierce, "How can I do you if I don't drink it?"
The little maid shook her head like a wavy drum, "No..."
"Of course I won't do anything to her."
The door was quietly opened, and the girl came in wearing a soft white-haired man, walking lightly.
Xia Ge didn't want to see her very much, she just kicked on her shoes and wanted to go out.
Su Chuan didn't stop her, but just rolled over and draped Da Hui over Xia Ge, grinning, "It's cold outside."
Xia Ge said coldly, "Then it'll be frozen to death."
"Why are you so angry with me?" Su Chuan paused slightly, then smiled again, "Like a child."
"Are you angry that the person didn't wake up?"
Xia Ge clenched his fists.
"The antidote is given to you, but you yourself don't believe me." Su Tang didn't care, and smiled lightly, "At this time, why do you feel sullen."
Xia Ge didn't speak any more and pushed the door out.
It's really cold outside.
…
Xia Ge retracted his thoughts.
The Mobei wasteland in early spring still had the chill of winter, she wandered aimlessly, thinking about the senior sister she saw that day.
The sister fell asleep, still very quiet.
The Qianhun Sect's design is not bad. It is clearly an endless wasteland outside, but inside it is a nine-curved corridor, with cornices and corners, and holly iron trees are planted. In the small corner, there is a trembling flower blooming in the spring.
She went around in a circle, and before she knew it, she came to an empty compound. She raised her head and saw a pear tree in the middle of the compound.
There is a saying that suddenly, like a spring breeze in one night, thousands of trees and thousands of pears bloom.
It's just this pear tree, with no pear blossoms and no snow, just a dead tree with no leaves. In addition to being depressed, Xia Ge was also a little strange.
In the tree planting garden, it means "sleepy", which is a taboo in Feng Shui. Few people will plant a tree in the middle of the yard, and this tree seems to be... dead
But even if it withers, it is still tall and tall. When you look up, you can see that the horizontally slanted and black branches are densely overlapped. From this, you can imagine how prosperous it will be when it blooms.
"This tree has been planted here for many years." The woman's voice was soft, "It's hard for you to come and see it."
Xia Ge was startled, the next moment, the pitch-black sickle rolled out the cloud pattern of the soul, but stopped at the moment when it was about to cut the opponent's throat.
The sickle was sharp and the chain sounded harsh, but the woman didn't move at all, looking at her gently.
The dense snow-white cloud pattern on the black sickle slowly faded, but Xia Ge did not take it back, "...Who are you?"
She had a vague guess in her heart.
The woman sighed softly.
"...you should call me mother."
- Qin Yue.
Xia Ge took the sickle and was in a complicated mood.
For this person, she naturally couldn't really treat her as her own mother, but if she ignored it, she also felt that something was wrong in her heart.
"Speaking of this pear tree, there is a past."
Seeing that Xia Ge didn't speak, Qin Yue didn't force it or go up. The distance between the two was only four steps, just a sickle. She also raised her head to look at the dead pear tree, like chatting, talking about irrelevant past events, "When you were still very young, I heard Bai Luo say that there is a Zhuchen Village in Mobei, and there is a tree planted outside the village. There are large pear trees, and in April and May, the pear trees bloom…”
Xia Ge never spoke.
"You were clamoring for me to take you to see it. If you didn't show it, you would lose your temper." Qin Yue said, "At that time, you lost your temper and just threw the bottle and the sundries..."
I just don't know what's going on. Later, I became more and more irritable and irritable. I liked to see a little blood in everything.
Xia Ge looked at her sideways.
To be honest she wasn't very interested in the body's past.
But if you occupy someone else's body, even if you don't want to, you will have to pay a part of the responsibility after all.
Other people's bodies are also affected by their parents, which is not easy to come by.
Qin Yue paused, shook his head, and turned the conversation back, "At that time, things were busy, and the Thousand Souls Sect seemed peaceful, but in fact, the undercurrent was turbulent, I didn't have many confidants, and Bai Luo and Bai Ren were still young, so I'll take time to accompany you. When I went, the pear blossoms were all thanked."
"...You're very sad." Qin Yue said, "I was so angry that I didn't pay attention to you, so I hired someone myself. I don't know where to move this tree, so I had to plant it myself."
Xia Ge looked at the masterpiece in the center of the courtyard: "..."
"... I would advise you to move the pear tree aside and not plant it in the middle, but you are young, but you are the young master of a sect after all. Of course I don't listen to me."
Xia Ge asked, "Why does it have to be planted in the middle?"
Qin Yue said: "I just want to see that the yard is full of pear flowers. I'm too lazy to plant a yard of pear trees by myself, so I just plant it in the middle, so that I can see it from any angle."
Xia Ge: "… "
"However, this tree hasn't bloomed until..." Qin Yue said with a little regret.
Times have changed, and the girl who was full of pear blossoms with anticipation at the beginning has become a maiden, but she has long forgotten the simplicity and innocence of her childhood.
"...It's meaningless to say this."
After a while, Xia Ge heard his own voice, "I don't even remember."
Qin Yue said: "you have suffered."
"… "
After a long while, Xia Ge heard himself say, "I never felt that I was suffering before."
She turned her head and looked at Qin Yue with a light voice, "But knowing who she is, she feels bitter."
She felt that she shouldn't say these words in Qin Shuang's tone, after all, her position should be just a lonely ghost occupying someone else's body - what she should do is to be silent, or even turn her head and leave.
However, Xia Ge clearly understands that she can't be like this, always here, helpless.
She wanted to find someone who could stand on her side.
Qin Yue was silent for a while, looked up at her with calm eyes, "then what do you want?"
"… "
Xia Ge clenched his fists.
"I know what you want." Qin Yue sighed when Xia Ge didn't answer for a long time, "But the leader likes you."
Xia Ge was slightly startled.
"She likes you." Qin Yue walked under the pear tree and stroked the bark of the withered tree, "but she is worried about gains and losses."
"...I don't want to hear this." Xia Ge felt a little uncomfortable.
Qin Yue said, "if you don't want to listen, I won't tell."
"But, I just wanted to say...you gotta understand."
"If a person falls in love with you, then, no matter what, you will not be at a disadvantage."
Qin Yue looked back at her, "when she looks at you... I'm familiar with those eyes."
That was when she fell in love with someone madly, and when she looked back in the mirror, she saw the youthful admiration in her own eyes.
Because of her infatuation, she has done countless stupid things for him that can't be turned back.
"..." Xia Ge said, "I don't understand what you said."
"She likes you, and you hold the blade that can hurt her in your hand." Qin Yue said, "Maybe occasionally she will be hurt by the blade that is out of control, but... more often, she is willing to put the handle of this knife on the in your hands."
"Break the knife or pierce her heart."
"Even if the pain is unbearable, it should be done willingly."
Desperate, moth-to-fire love.
Hurt others and hurt yourself.
