Chapter 230
The breath was so vague that Qin Che couldn't determine the other party's exact location.
But this also gave Qin Che a sense of familiarity. The black-robed monk puppet he had seen in the dragon's cave before had this feeling.
Because it is a puppet, its aura is not as complete as that of an ordinary person. Qin Che can only feel it when there is obvious true energy flowing in the core of the puppet's mechanism. Therefore, Qin Che can only perceive that there is something extra nearby, but because there is still a certain distance, it is difficult to determine the specific location.
Nowadays, most of the horse immortals are at the dragon's lair, following Guan Shihua to make arrangements at the dragon's lair to prevent similar situations from happening again.
There are only the two brothers Deng Youcai and Deng Youfu here, and those fairy boys who have just been chosen by the immortals. Qin Che has become the strongest one here, so it is inevitable that he has to worry more.
He was a little unsure of what was coming, and did not act rashly. Instead, he gently patted Feng Xingtong next to him.
People who practice cultivation have very sharp perceptions. Feng Xingtong woke up immediately from his sleep: "Brother Qin? What's wrong?"
"Something is coming. You stay here and I'll go out and take a look."
"Okay." Feng Xingtong didn't actually feel anything, but he still stood up cautiously.
After all, they were in other people's territory, so Qin Che and Feng Xingtong both slept in their clothes.
Feng Xingtong and Qin Che left the yard together. He stood alone in the yard, while Qin Che climbed over the wall and headed towards the direction he roughly sensed.
There was a faint sense of floating air. Although I didn't know the exact location, I would still have time to check once I got nearby.
Outside the residence is not a large plain, but a series of low hills. Although they do not hinder movement, they block the line of sight.
As Qin Che appeared, that aura suddenly disappeared.
But this situation made Qin Che even more certain that there was indeed something hidden outside, otherwise it would be impossible for him to not sense any breath as soon as he climbed over the wall.
I just don't know whether it is aimed at him, Feng Xingtong, or these fairy boys who have not yet become horse fairies?
But no matter which situation it was, it was related to Qin Che. Qin Che became more cautious. That breath could not disappear. Even if it was deliberately hidden, it would be difficult to escape Qin Che's perception. It would just cost some energy.
As Qin Che gradually approached the area, the aura that had just disappeared became clearer.
Suddenly, a person appeared in a valley, and it seemed to be half a body.
Qin Che used his full strength to rush towards there in an instant.
Although it was flickering, he was sure that it was the aura emitted by this person. Qin Che approached quickly, and the person immediately fled into the distance.
It seemed that his entire body was covered with a black robe, and even his figure was difficult to see clearly.
Qin Che approached the figure not long after chasing and reached out to grab him from behind, but at that moment, the man's head suddenly turned 180 degrees.
A complex face created by a mechanism was revealed.
Only at this moment did Qin Che see this thing clearly.
It's not a person, this thing is a human-shaped puppet!
The moment that head turned, several hidden weapons shot out from his body.
But Qin Che reacted immediately. Those hidden weapons were just ordinary iron tools, without any Qi attached to them.
Therefore, Qin Che did not dodge at all, but used all his strength to catch those hidden weapons and directly pressed the puppet to the ground. The quality of this puppet was obviously worse than the previous black monk puppet.
"You again. What on earth do you want to do?"
A voice that Qin Che was familiar with came from the core of this puppet. This voice was exactly the same as that of the black-robed monk puppet.
"I've already told you, I'll let you guess. If I told you directly, I wouldn't have to be so sneaky."
"You don't want to use this kind of puppet to deal with me, that's too stupid." Qin Che laughed.
"Of course not. Even if I were to appear here in person, I might not be able to defeat you." The voice in the puppet was calm and leisurely, without any sense of embarrassment as if it had been caught by Qin Che.
Suddenly Qin Che seemed to remember something and looked back at Feng Xingtong from a distance.
He snorted coldly, stepped down, and crushed the core of the puppet's mechanism again.
As soon as he stepped on this thing and cracked it, Qin Che's face suddenly changed.
Normally, as I destroyed the core mechanism of this puppet, the vague aura I felt before should have disappeared.
But at this moment, Qin Che perceived that there was still a vague aura.
And it’s very close to Feng Xingtong.
He suddenly had a guess that from the very beginning, there were two puppets. One was deliberately emitting aura outside to lure Qin Che out, while the other took the opportunity to go into the yard.
Coming for Feng Xingtong? But why target Feng Xingtong?
That instrument! The alms bowl!
Qin Che thought of Tong instantly and immediately turned back and rushed towards Feng Xingtong.
Qin Che overlooked one thing: not everyone is like him and does not treat magic weapons as magic weapons.
For most extraordinary people, a magic weapon, especially a top-level one, is likely to be the most valuable thing in their body, comparable to their life.
The other party once said that he stole this magic weapon from a temple in Japan, and it was one of the best magic weapons there.
Since such a bowl was directly seized by Qin Che, he would naturally find a way to get it back.
At the same time, on Feng Xingtong's side.
His perception was not as sharp as Qin Che's, but he was also trying his best to guard the courtyard here.
Suddenly, a figure appeared from behind Feng Xingtong. The figure was so hidden that Qin Che could only sense it vaguely, and Feng Xingtong was completely unaware of it.
Behind Feng Xingtong was also a puppet, and this puppet was no longer in human form. It looked like some kind of animal, smaller in size but faster, and with a very weak aura. It was probably because its aura was intentionally concealed when it was created.
It quietly rushed behind Feng Xingtong. The beast's mouth, made of copper and iron, opened, and a sharp cold light suddenly pierced Feng Xingtong's back.
At this moment, Feng Xingtong was still completely unaware and was concentrating on the direction Qin Che left.
Just when that cold light was about to pierce Feng Xingtong, a dark spirit blocked Feng Xingtong behind him.
The next moment, another tall figure suddenly appeared, with a thick black yin energy surging all over his body. This person's appearance was very strange, as if he suddenly emerged from the ground like a ghost.
He grabbed the sharp sword spit out by the puppet beast with his bare hands.
With a crisp sound, he broke the sword blade with his bare hands.
Then he grabbed the puppet again, and a strong black aura permeated from his palm and instantly poured into the puppet's body.
The black spirit quickly shuttled through the body of the puppet, and in an instant the puppet was broken into pieces, leaving only the core of the puppet, which was still flickering.
It was not until the suddenly appearing figure had completely disassembled the puppet into pieces that Feng Xingtong reacted and turned around to look.
Under the moonlight, the man had a tall figure, wearing a green suit, round-frame glasses, and had the same white hair as Feng Xingtong.
With a gentle smile on his face, he looked at Feng Xingtong and said, "Xingtong, you were careless. Just now, when you were not sure where the enemy was, you should have released some of your spirits to monitor the surroundings, or directly invited the spirits to possess you."
"Dad!" Feng Xingtong shouted in surprise. The person who suddenly appeared was his father, Feng Zhenghao, the president of Tianxiahui.
"Why are you here?"
Feng Zhenghao looked around and continued, "I arrived earlier, but I thought you had already gone to bed, so I didn't disturb you. I just noticed that you were in trouble, so I rushed over."
"Realized that I was in trouble." Feng Xingtong wondered when his father had become so powerful that he could directly sense his troubles.
Feng Zhenghao's lips curled up into a smile that showed everything was under control. He opened his hand, and immediately a faint black yin energy surged on Feng Xingtong's shoulder, and then a small black ghost jumped out.
It looked very cute, but that thing was not a complete ghost, but more like a small doll made by trickery.
The little ghost was round and only the size of a fist, with two bright eyes flickering and jumping on Feng Xingtong's shoulder.
It jumped directly into Feng Zhenghao's palm. Feng Zhenghao smiled and said, "You brothers and sisters all have marks left by me. If you are in danger, I will be able to sense it. This time I was nearby, so I came directly. If I was not nearby, I would also let them take action to warn you."
Feng Xingtong's mouth curled up, as if he was smiling. When did this thing get hidden on his body? He didn't even notice it at all.
He was deeply impressed by his father in his heart. He really never made any mistakes in what he did. It was actually a very happy thing to be saved by his father in such a dangerous time.
But he smiled and asked, "Dad, this thing has been following me, right? Does that mean you know everything I do?"
Hearing Feng Xingtong ask this, Feng Zhenghao was obviously stunned for a moment, but he just smiled and touched Feng Xingtong's head.
"No, Dad knows his limits. He will only take effect when you are in danger."
Feng Xingtong was still somewhat unwilling to believe that his father actually had a strong desire for control and was too measured in doing things. All of Feng Xingtong, Feng Shayan and other children were under the control of his father.
Feng Zhenghao's face also looked a little embarrassed. He was very good at dealing with problems with outsiders in a utilitarian way.
However, he has always found it difficult to deal with his family, especially the younger generations. He loves these children very much, but he doesn't know how to express it.
At this moment, he changed the subject and said, "Tell me first, how did you get involved with this thing? Luckily I was nearby, otherwise you would have been caught by yourself."
Feng Xingtong didn't seem to care and comforted his father: "Dad, don't worry, Brother Qin is also nearby, nothing will happen."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure jumped up from the wall.
It was Qin Che. When he was running towards here, he suddenly found another equally strong aura appearing, so he became even more anxious.
At this moment, he jumped in hurriedly from outside the wall and landed with a bang.
But after seeing Feng Zhenghao clearly, he was obviously stunned for a moment: "Senior Feng, it turns out to be you, I was wondering who else came."
"Sure enough, this thing is aimed at Xingtong."
Qin Che glanced at the mechanical puppet under Feng Zhenghao's feet that had been dismantled into pieces.
"Qin Che, do you know where this thing came from? Why did you target Xing Tong?" Feng Zhenghao asked curiously.
"I really don't know where this person came from. He seems to be from Yingzhou. I fought with another puppet of his before, and I snatched a magic weapon from him. That magic weapon is a protective magic weapon, and it is related to the spirit body. I gave it to Xingtong. I guess he came here this time to take the magic weapon back. I didn't expect to cause such trouble for Xingtong. It is true that there is a loophole in my work, and I haven't cleaned up the tail."
"What magic weapon? Let me see it." Fen Zhenghao and Feng Xingtong said.
Feng Xingtong brought the copper bowl. Feng Zhenghao took it and looked at it carefully for a while before he said thoughtfully, "The material of this magic weapon is indeed top-notch, much better than the ones we refine ourselves. Qin Che, you are really willing to give this thing to Xingtong."
Feng Zhenghao had a warm smile on his face, he had long had the idea of letting Feng Xingtong and Qin Che become friends. Now seeing Qin Che actually giving Feng Xingtong such a thing, it showed that the relationship between the two was indeed there. Friends made in one's early twenties were different from friends made when one was older.
Qin Che said embarrassedly: "I didn't expect this thing would cause such trouble for Xingtong. How about I take it first, and wait until I find out the people behind him, and deal with them completely, and then give it to Xingtong."
Qin Che had good intentions, but he didn't expect to cause trouble, so he naturally felt a little guilty.
Feng Zhenghao looked unconcerned, with a hint of heroism on his face: "What are you talking about? When there is a bargain, let Xingtong take it, but when there is trouble, you are asked to deal with it. Who do you think my Feng family is? You don't have to worry about this matter. If there is similar trouble again, I will handle it. The reason why that person came to our door this time is because Xingtong's means are not enough. He has not completely refined the remaining aura in the bowl. It will be fine after he completely refines it later."
Feng Zhenghao naturally wouldn't care about these things. They were just harassment from a few puppets. It didn't matter at all. It was just a good opportunity for Feng Xingtong to hone his skills.
On the contrary, it was Qin Che's kindness that he absolutely could not let down. Besides, this magic weapon
Feng Zhenghao took a closer look and said in surprise, "Could this bowl be the one from Shitennoji Temple in Japan? It is said that it has been lost for many years!"
Feng Zhenghao is originally a sorcerer and has some knowledge of the magical instruments suitable for sorcerers in the world. The more he looks at this bowl, the more it resembles it, so he couldn't help but ask.
"When I got it, I heard someone mention something about the prince and Shitennoji Temple. He said he stole it."
Seeing that Feng Zhenghao understood, Qin Che added a few words.
Feng Zhenghao looked at the thing in his hand and said, "Then this person's identity should be easy to find out. He has mastered such puppetry and has the ability to steal magic tools from Shitennoji. He must be a well-known person in Japan. The company may be able to find out something..."
