Bai Yueguang's stand-in cries all over the realm of comprehension

Elder Yin Zheng pondered for a moment, and then suddenly realized:

"Could it be that all the spiritual energy absorbed by that formation was used to feed the group of puppets below?"

"It's not impossible," Jiang Yanlu recovered his thoughts and replied, "The puppet's cultivation is not static. Even if it dies and turns into a skeleton, it will advance to the next level because it absorbs enough spiritual energy."

The leader of the Wuxiang Sect came back to his senses and asked curiously:
  "As far as I know, the art of puppetry was lost thousands of years ago. Jiang Yanlu, how did you know these things and recognize them as puppets at a glance?"

They are old men who have lived for hundreds of years and have never seen puppets.

How could Jiang Yanlu, a little girl, know so much in detail?

Jiang Yanlu smiled slightly: "Because I also have a puppet."

Not only had she seen it.

She still has one.

There is another super interesting one.

The leader of Wuxiang Sect: "..."

He asked more questions.

The leader of Taixuan Sword Sect didn't understand: "What is he doing with so many puppets here?"

The "him" in his mouth was Ji Chao.

Previously, the leader of the Taixuan Sword Sect heard from Jiang Yanlu that she had seen in the photo stone that Ji Chao had threatened the members of the Three-Legged Crow clan in the Divine Realm in order to obtain the method of practicing the Puppet Technique.

Now that he saw the puppet brought up by Jiang Yanlu, Ji Chao popped up in his mind.

Jiang Yanlu shook his head: "I don't know."

She always felt that there was more than just a puppet under the hibiscus tree.

If he only wanted to raise puppets, Ji Chao could just raise them under the fusang tree of Kunlun Palace. Why would he risk being discovered by raising them under the fusang tree of Taixuan Sword Sect?

He can't still follow the principle that eggs cannot be put in the same basket.

One more thing...

Jiang Yanlu raised his eyes and looked at the master of the Taixuan Sword Sect: "Sect master, has anyone touched our sect's hibiscus tree in the past hundreds of years?"

The leader of Taixuan Sword Sect shook his head: "The Fusang tree has been here since the founding of the sect. No one has touched it. This is the first time."

Jiang Yanlu turned to look at the puppet who was still lying on the ground:

"Then how did he appear under the fusang tree of Taixuan Sword Sect?"

Judging from the time mentioned by the leader of Wuxiang Sect, when his second uncle died on the battlefield, the four major sects had already reached a certain scale.

If someone came to Taixuan Sword Sect at this time and threw the lifeless puppet into the formation under the fusang tree, it would be impossible for no one to notice it.

So a lot of it might be...

Qiyue raised his eyelids and took in Jiang Yanlu's words:
  "There are other passages that lead to the fusang tree of Taixuan Sword Sect."

As soon as these words were spoken, the head of Taixuan Sword Sect and Elder Yin Zheng suddenly felt horrified.

They have stayed in Taixuan Sword Sect for so long, and they have no idea that there are other places that can lead directly to Taixuan Sword Sect from underground!
  The leader of Taixuan Sword Sect couldn't wait any longer: "No, I have to go down and take a look."

He wanted to see where the passage below led to!
  *

The bottom of the black hole.

The moment Jiang Yanlu, Qiyue and the leader of the Taixuan Sword Sect landed, they were surrounded by puppets who had gathered nearby and had not dispersed.

But before the group of puppets could get close to them, they were burned to ashes by the Qilin Fire in Qiyue's hand.

Jiang Yanlu summoned a Spirit-Gathering Bidi Tree from his jade bracelet, with dozens of sparkling luminous pearls curled on the outstretched branches, like moving street lamps.

The bottom of the cave suddenly became as bright as day.

She pulled out the tree spirit that was sleeping soundly in the jade bracelet, raised her hand and patted its soft and elastic green butt:
  "Not the main spirit, wake up, stop sleeping, come to life."

The non-main spirit remained unmoved and turned over in Jiang Yanlu's arms, continuing to sleep soundly with his mouth open.

Jiang Yanlu: "Hey, why is there a bottle of happy water here?"

The non-main spirit jumped up like a carp and suddenly jumped up from Jiang Yanlu's arms. His wide-open eyes were extremely clear, and he shook his head from side to side, almost leaving an afterimage:

"Where? Where?"

Jiang Yanlu: "..."

She raised her hand and took out a bottle of Lingshan spring water from the jade bracelet, shook it in front of the non-main spirit, but did not give it:
  "Work first, then drink after you finish the work."

The sight of the non-main spirit moved in the direction of the swaying spring water in Lingshan Mountain.

It swallowed its saliva and nodded like garlic: "What to do?"

"It's very simple." Jiang Yanlu released three more Spirit-Gathering Bidi Trees, "instruct them to clear the way in front."

There are too many puppets here, and the killing is endless.

The purpose of their coming down this time was not to kill the puppet man.

It would be better for them to let the Spirit-Gathering Bidi Tree clear the obstacles in front, and they would be able to relax.

Only then did the non-main spirit see a large number of zombie-like puppets all around.

It screamed and shrank into Jiang Yanlu's arms, covering its eyes: "Lulu, why did you poke the puppet nest again!"

If Qiyue and the master of Taixuan Sword Sect had not been attacking them with fire, it would have suffered this strong visual impact when it first woke up.

"Stop talking nonsense, they can't kill them all."

Jiang Yanlu pointed his toes, flew up and landed on the thick and strong trunk of one of the Spirit-Juling Bi Emperor trees, and pulled the little guy out of his arms.

"It's time for you to show off your skills. Go pick up Qiyue first, and then pick up the sect leader."

"Got it!"

The green leaves covered most of the figure of the non-main spirit. It stood on Jiang Yanlu's shoulders and pointed at the country: "Charge! Move forward!"

The leader of the Taixuan Sword Sect was shooting a ball of fire with one hand. From the corner of his eye, he saw a running tree rushing towards him from the side, running towards him very fast.

He was wondering, wondering why there were so many weird and difficult-looking things under the cave.

These days, trees have grown legs and can run away.

He was just about to throw a fireball at the tree when he heard a cold voice coming from the tree in the distance: "Sect Master, get up the tree!"

The sudden explosion startled him.

Not only can it run, but it can also talk!
  Is this tree a spirit?
  and many more.

The voice sounded distinctly familiar.

He looked up and saw a figure sitting among the lush green branches and leaves.

Cui Zongzhu's eyes widened: "Jiang Yanlu?"

The Spirit-Gathering Bidi Tree is under the control of non-main spirits and has no intention of stopping.

It was so violent that it knocked away the puppets surrounding the Taixuan Sword Sect Master, then stretched out a soft and tough branch, wrapped around him, and dragged him to the tree!
  The moment he sat on the tree, Master Cui Zong was stunned for a moment.

But not completely stunned yet.

The speed of the Spirit-Gathering Bidi Tree was as fast as the wind, and he was almost thrown off.

I hugged the tree trunk and felt safe.

He mechanically turned his head and looked at Jiang Yanlu and Qiyue on the other side: "Is this...?"

Jiang Yanlu introduced: "My transportation mount."

The corner of Cui Zongzhu's mouth twitched.

This was the first time he saw someone using a tree as a mount.

"It's pretty good. It has a wide view, but it's a bit steep."

But this way, they did feel a lot more relaxed. The Juling Bidi Tree has given full play to its advantages.

Relying on his tall tree and big branches, he unscrupulously knocked away all the puppets blocking his way.

The puppets that flew up were also rolled up by their branches and thrown aside.

Except for those puppets whose cultivation is too high and they need to do it themselves, they don't need to worry about the other puppets at all.

Sect Leader Cui finally realized the benefits of the Spirit-Gathering Bade Emperor Tree belatedly.

……

The further inside, the more intense the spiritual energy becomes.

Jiang Yanlu raised his palm and struck out a purple-gold fire snake.

The fire snake opened its mouth wide, spitting out snake letters, and swallowed the flying puppet in one bite.

Little sparks fell to the ground along with the ashes.

Qiyue squinted his eyes and looked forward: "Lulu, look."

Following the direction of Qi Yue's line of sight, Jiang Yanlu saw a black stone tablet.

The stone tablets are as tall as a person and stand densely on the ground. Although the arrangement is relatively compact and not neat, it is full of mystery.

Each piece is engraved with complex and mysterious ancient runes.

The leader of Taixuan Sword Sect also saw it, frowned and asked: "Rune? Why are there runes here?"

Jiang Yanlu glanced at the runes on the black stone tablet: "This should be a rune formation."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Spirit-Gathering Bidi Tree that was running at the front holding the Luminous Pearl had already rushed towards the black stone tablet under the command of the non-main spirit!
  The moment he stepped in, the vibrant Spirit-Gathering Bidi Tree seemed to have all its vitality drained away in an instant, but within a moment it turned into a crumpled, dead tree, frozen in place.

The luminous pearls that were originally wrapped in the branches also fell to the ground one by one because they lost their support, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

The non-main spirit was startled, and the smile on his face suddenly turned into a look of horror. He quickly directed the remaining three Spirit-Gathering Bidi Trees to stop three feet away from the black stone monument.

The leader of the Taixuan Sword Sect looked at the dead Spirit-Gathering Bidi Tree in the stone tablet with lingering fear.

"What kind of talisman formation is this? Why is it so powerful?"

Jiang Yanlu said nothing and stared at the runes on the black inscription for a while. Then he suddenly flew down from the tree trunk, grabbed a puppet at random, and threw it in the direction of the black stone inscription.

Several people observed carefully.

The puppet fell to the ground between the black stone monuments, and did not die quickly like the Spirit-Gathering Bidi Tree. Instead, it climbed up on its hands and feet.

But his movements became extremely slow, and he deliberately avoided touching the black stone tablets around him.

After getting up, he turned around and walked slowly in the direction outside the stone monument until he was out of that place.

Seeing this, Jiang Yanlu threw a few more puppets in.

The movements of several puppets are exactly the same as the first puppet thrown in.

The leader of Taixuan Sword Sect frowned:

"Strange, why did nothing happen to them? Could it be that this talisman formation only targets spiritual plants, flowers, plants and trees?"

Qiyue's words were concise and concise: "living things."

Sect Leader Cui: "Living creature?"

Jiang Yanlu nodded: "Yes, this talisman array is only for living creatures. The puppets here were all refined into puppets after their bodies died. They themselves are dead creatures without life. Now they can run and move purely because of Because they are controlled by the puppet technique, once they are separated from the puppet technique, they are just corpses."

"The Spirit-Gathering Bade Emperor Tree is different. The Spirit-Gathering Bade Emperor Tree is a living creature, so it withered and died the moment it stepped into the talisman array."

"If the sect leader is still in doubt, you can stretch out one of your arms and see if it will turn into decay."

Sect Leader Cui politely declined the proposal: "No, I think what you said is very reasonable."

He changed the subject: "In this case, wouldn't it be impossible for us to know where this passage leads to?"

Jiang Yanlu said "hmm" and said, "So far, that's the case."

Cui Zongzhu asked again: "You have a deep research on talismans, do you know what kind of talisman formation this is?"

Jiang Yanlu's eyes once again fell on the runes on the black stone tablet, and he shook his head: "There are guesses, but we are not sure yet."

This rune was too old, and the black stone tablet they saw was not a complete picture of the entire rune array.

In ancient times, there were countless talisman formations that could kill people invisibly in an instant.

It's hard for her to make any judgments.

However, she had already memorized some of the runes on the stone tablet. After leaving here, she would draw the runes and show them to Sect Master Ke to verify her conjecture.

The puppets are still rising.

Jiang Yanlu retreated again: "Since there is a talisman array in front of us and we can't get past it, let's leave here first and make other plans after we get up there."

The leader of Taixuan Sword Sect nodded: "This is the only way."

The three of them quickly retreated, and Yu Jian flew to the ground.

When they came up, the heads of the Wuxiang Sect had disappeared in front of the black hole.

Only Elder Yin Zheng is left standing here.

Sect Leader Cui was the last one to come up.

He sealed the black hole again: "Where is Sect Master Ke?"

Elder Yin Zheng replied: "Sect Leader Ke feels that it is not safe under his sect's fusang tree, so he can't wait to take Ke Tang and Shen Lancheng back to pull out the tree first."

"They just left and you came up."

Sect Leader Cui: "...He is quite impatient."

Elder Yin Zheng asked again: "Sect Master, have you discovered where the underground passage leads to?"

Sect Leader Cui sighed: "There is a talisman formation blocking us below, so we can't go any further."

"The Talisman Array?" Elder Yin Zheng frowned, "Do you know what the Talisman Array is?"

Jiang Yanlu: "It's still under study."

Sect Master Cui had no intention of continuing this topic and ordered Elder Yin Zheng: "Seal this place and no one can enter without our permission."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Except Jiang Yanlu."

After saying that, he lifted his feet and left this place.

Elder Yin Zheng asked subconsciously: "Where are you going?"

Sect Leader Cui's back showed a bit of frustration: "I will go back to practice."

This was his first time acting together with Qiyue and Jiang Yanlu.

I deeply felt the gap between him and the two of them.

Especially fire control.

He even suspected that Jiang Yanlu and Qi Yue were going down with him, not because they were curious about the end of the passage, but because they were worried that he would not be strong enough and would die inside, leaving the sect without a leader.

"..."

Jiang Yanlu heard this and agreed, "It's time to practice."

Cui Zongzhu's eyelids twitched: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yanlu: "Last time, my disciples went to the Demon Realm with Qiyue, and praised you with the elders of the Demon Realm for being able to break through two small realms within a hundred years."

Sect Master Cui almost jumped up: "Two small realms in one hundred years?!"

Jiang Yanlu nodded:
  “You are highly talented, younger than the elders of the Demon Realm, your mind is flexible, and your understanding is far above them.

"They can all achieve two small realms in one hundred years, so naturally you can too!"
