I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 132 Puppet, Human Pill (please order)
On the outskirts of Kyoto, in a dilapidated house.

This place is a rare abandoned place in Kyoto. It is rumored that it was the home garden of a certain minister in those days, covering a wide area.

At that time, because they were involved in a rebellion case, the whole family was sentenced to death.

And the house on this land gradually fell into disuse, and no one dared to pay for it, for fear of being implicated.

It is precisely because of the specialness of this place.

Therefore, after a large number of warriors poured into Kyoto, many warriors gradually began to trade here at night.

They all wear black robes and cover their faces with black scarves or masks to communicate with this place.

Only a small number of people will go to the black market.

After all, in a place like the black market, few people would dare to enter and trade unless they were familiar with it.

at night.

Zuo Dao was wearing a Taoist robe, with a green snake mask covering his face, looking at a large house in front of him.

Then he jumped into it.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he faintly heard the noise coming from inside.

If he hadn't improved his strength, it would have been difficult to hear.

He followed the path covered by weeds all the way inward and came to the backyard of the house, where he faintly saw a human figure.

The backyard is large enough for hundreds of people to communicate here.

There are stalls set up by warriors in all directions, with some martial arts secrets or bottles of elixirs on them.

There are even some stalls selling magical weapons.

Almost all those who could enter here were warriors in the innate realm, and he even faintly sensed the aura of the little master.

As soon as Zuo Dao walked into the crowd, a stooped man in black came over.

He smiled at Zuo Dao and said, "Newcomer?"

Zuo Dao grinned and said, "What? Do you still need to check your identity here?"

The man shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just that I have never seen anyone wearing Taoist robes come here."

He glanced at Zuo Dao and said: "This little brother, what are you buying here? Magical secrets, or great medicine for the human body, or magical weapons?"

Zuo Dao shook his head and said: "I just came to take a look and find some things. Your Excellency questioned you so carefully. Could it be that..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the man waving his hands repeatedly.

Then he said: "I, Bai Xiaosheng, have been wandering here these days, leading the way for some newcomers, or providing some information, and collecting some small money to survive."

Zuo Dao glanced at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Have you been here for a long time?"

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said: "This place has been working hard to promote and publicize it. Otherwise, how could such a big stall be formed with the help of these martial artists who came to Kyoto to take the martial arts examination."

"And there are not only warriors here, but also many strange people and legendary practitioners."

"If you are lucky enough, you may be able to buy the legendary magic weapon."

"In other words, if you spend ten taels of gold, please be my guide, and I will take you to buy what you want."

His voice just fell.

Then he saw Zuo Dao take out a money bag and throw it away.

Then he said: "It's all out of the black market, so I'll change the price anyway, even if it's 13 taels or 15 taels."

When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he couldn't help but froze, and then said sarcastically: "I don't even know what you are talking about."

Zuo Dao shook his head slightly and said: "Since this place is organized by you and others, do you know that the warriors here are missing?"

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Zuo Dao with a strange look, and then said: "I really know something about this."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao said, "Since you know, let's talk about it."

Bai Xiaosheng took Zuo Dao to an abandoned room and looked around before closing the door.

After closing the door, he whispered: "I advise you not to investigate this matter."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao frowned slightly and said, "Why can't you go check it out?"

Bai Xiaosheng glanced in the direction of the palace and said, "This matter is related to that person. In the end, the only one who got into trouble is you."

When Zuo Dao heard this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

That was the rumor that Cao Xiang showed him before.

Could it be that the rumors back then were true, and that one was really using warriors to refine human elixirs to achieve the purpose of extending life?
If this is the case, then this martial arts examination is probably more than just selecting talents for the imperial court, right?

Zuo Dao looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "How do you know?"

Bai Xiaosheng grinned and said, "Of course I saw it with my own eyes."

As he spoke, he talked about everything he had seen outside the mansion before.

In the past few days, Bai Xiaosheng wandered around here, observing secretly for a long time in case anyone else caused trouble here.

That day, he saw with his own eyes a warrior who was approaching the realm of a young master. After taking a bottle of large medicine, he walked outside.

But behind him, there was also a strange guy.

The man followed the warrior all the way out of the house.

Bai Xiaosheng used his skills to follow, and finally found the two fighting on the street next door.

In just three moves, the warrior who was close to the young master was directly captured by the man in black.

Then he was led all the way towards the palace.

Bai Xiaosheng wanted to follow him to see what happened, so he followed him secretly.

Finally, it was discovered that the man had crossed the high wall and entered the palace directly.

After listening to Bai Xiaosheng's words, a look of contemplation flashed across Zuo Daosheng's face.

If the person who secretly kidnapped the martial artist was really someone from the palace, then the only possibility is that the martial artist in the deep palace was an immortal.

Could it be that he is refining some great human medicine to extend his life?

Zuo Dao looked at Bai Xiaosheng beside him and asked, "How many people know about this matter?"

Bai Xiaosheng pointed at Zuodao and then at himself.

When Zuo Dao saw this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he said: "If you know such a big secret, you are not afraid that I will kill you."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said: "Want to know? Ten taels of gold."

When Zuo Dao heard this, he threw out ten taels of gold.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said: "If I don't want to die, no one in this world can kill me now."

After saying that, his body swayed and he escaped directly into the ground.

Zuo Daosheng was stunned for a moment, and he could feel that Bai Xiaosheng's aura was no longer here.

This guy actually has this hand?
If he guessed correctly, this person should be Granny Jinhua pretending to be her.

It's just that he can't understand why Granny Jinhua is doing a good job in the black market, so she wants to reopen a district here.

Just when he was doubtful, he happened to catch a glimpse of a warrior with perfect innate realm through the crack in the door.

At this moment, he was walking outside with something.

Behind him, a figure followed without making any sound.Following the warrior, he left the house.

Seeing this scene in front of him, Zuo Dao remembered what Bai Xiaosheng told him before, and immediately left the house and followed him.

He followed the two of them to another street next door.

He hid on the roof and looked down quietly.

I saw that the warrior who was in the innate perfection realm had fallen to the ground at some point, and another person quickly stepped forward, tucked him under his shoulder, and flew towards the palace.

When Zuo Dao saw this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

That Bai Xiaosheng actually didn't lie to him.

This matter was really done by someone in the palace.

It's just that he still doesn't know which person in the palace this is.

Could it be that the martial arts immortal is really refining the human elixir?
Just when he was confused, he saw another figure emerging from the shadows, with another person under his shoulders.

The destination was also in the direction of the palace, but their directions were slightly deviated.

Zuo Dao thought for a moment, then found an unoccupied house, set up a formation around it, and then arranged for the physical Buddha to guard his side.

He himself left his body and headed towards the palace.

Even Pudu Cihang's big centipede didn't notice his move, and presumably the martial arts immortal in the palace who didn't practice Taoism couldn't find it either.

Even if he is vaguely aware of it, the worst he can do is return his soul.

He wanted to see the news about who was fighting these warriors in the palace.

After Zuo Dao's soul came out of his body, he followed the first man in black into the deep palace.

But what puzzled him was that this person's goal was not the hut where the martial arts immortals lived in the deep palace.

It is the residence of the emperor.

This made Zuo Dao's eyes light up. Could it be that the emperor had some involvement in this matter?

He followed all the way forward.

Came to a rockery in the harem.

Then I saw the man in black looking around after landing on the ground, and then moved a corner of the rockery.

Then he saw the rockery shift, revealing a tunnel entrance.

The man in black directly took the warrior he captured into the tunnel and restored the rockery.

Zuo Daoyuanshen followed him, followed the passage, and came to an underground secret room.

He could clearly sense that there was a mixed atmosphere in the underground secret room here, as if there were many warriors gathered here.

The man in black who entered this place took the captured martial artist to a secret room further inside.

In the secret room, there was a strange old man with disheveled hair. When he saw the man in black coming, he immediately asked him to place the warrior on the stone bed.

As soon as Wu Ren was placed on the stone bed, his eyes opened.

Looking at everything in front of him, there was a look of panic on his face. He wanted to struggle, but found that the true energy in his body was solidified and his body was out of control.

I could only watch helplessly as the strange old man dropped the needle on me.

In just a moment, the warrior's body was already covered with silver needles.

The strange old man brought a bowl of soup with a smile and slowly fed it into the warrior's mouth.

As the decoction entered his stomach, the warrior on the stone bed began to roll his eyes, and then began to twitch all over.

After a long time, it became quiet.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes seemed to have lost consciousness, and he just looked up blankly at the stone wall above.

The strange old man smiled and said: "In less than three days, this puppet will be ready."

After hearing this, the man in black said: "What happened to those puppets before? Was the experiment successful?"

The strange old man gave the man in black a white look and said: "With my medical skills, how can it not be successful? Aren't all those puppets taken away by you?"

"I also want to rely on them to try to see if they can raise a great master or even a martial arts immortal."

"You can't leave me any more puppets."

"With what you have taken away so far, you can only raise them to the level of a little grandmaster at most. It is impossible to go beyond that."

"In this way, you give me the martial artist in the junior master realm, and I can train him to become a grand master in up to three years."

"Or find me a great master. Within five years, I guarantee that I can make him into a martial arts immortal."

The man in black glanced at the strange old man and said, "You are really arrogant. Let alone a martial artist, I'm afraid you won't be able to become a great master."

"That young master-level martial artist from before, if I hadn't been here, you would have been slapped to death by his palm."

The strange old man said indifferently: "The stronger the strength, the longer it takes to refine, but my method will only eliminate their minds and will not hurt their bodies."

"And after refining the great medicine, their physical potential can be said to be far beyond that of others. It is not impossible for a great master or even a martial artist to say something like an immortal."

Listening to the two people talking, Zuo Dao, who was hiding aside, looked shocked.

This place is the emperor's harem, and the only one who can open up such a large secret room here is that emperor.

He is actually in the palace, refining warriors as puppets?
And depending on what they mean, this is not just once or twice. There are even countless puppets that have been refined.

There may even be puppets in the Little Grandmaster realm.

He is a majestic emperor, what is the use of so many powerful puppets?

Are you afraid that Jin Yiwei will betray the royal family, or are you worried about something else?

The more he listened to the conversation between the two, the more shocked Zuo Dao became, and then he began to shuttle between other stone chambers.

Almost every stone room he went to had several refined warriors.

Without exception, all are innate realms.

The tallest person has even reached the state of innate perfection.

Just when Zuo Dao was shocked.

I saw the man in black walking into the stone room with the strange old man, pointing at the innately perfect martial artist and saying: "The Holy One said that as long as you can refine him into a puppet in the realm of a minor master, he will transform that minor master martial artist into a puppet." Leave it to you."

"And I will expand your authority a bit and fully support you in refining the puppet."

Hearing this, the strange old man rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "This is a simple matter. In less than a month, I can refine it into a puppet at the level of the little master."

The man in black nodded when he heard this, and then said: "The Holy Sage said that you will be given a maximum of five years to refine three puppets of the Grand Master realm. Otherwise, you will continue to sink in the ground with them."

The strange old man waved his hand casually and said: "It doesn't matter, I will take action."

The man in black sighed helplessly, and then left directly.

Zuo Dao looked deeply at the strange old man, and then his spirit floated out of the room and headed towards the direction of the other man in black.

But the more we walked on this road, the more familiar it became. It was the road leading to the residence of the martial arts immortal.

And he had already seen the hut he came to from a distance.

In the hut, King Cao Sheng held a white meat ball in his hand and slowly sent it into the mouth of the warrior beside him who was in the innate perfection state.

His eyes were full of hope.
