Paper Man Peak and Shadow Puppet Pavilion.

"Brother Daodao, have some tea."

Seeing Song Yan taking a rest, Miss Yuzhuang brought him a cup of steaming moonlight tea.

The temperature on the mountain is cold. The snow that fell some time ago has not melted yet. The wind in the distance will occasionally bring pieces of snow, bringing a unique coldness with the smell of earth and wood.

Song Yan took the tea and took a sip. The slightly sweet hot tea went into his body. The subtle mysterious energy contained in it made him feel more alert. He felt that the next breath he took was much fresher.

"Did you release Jiang Duan'er today?"

"Well, it's cold. I read in the Spiritual Tea that Moonlight Grass is a versatile herb that goes with everything, so I put some ginger in it, hoping that Brother Dao could keep his hands and feet warm."

In order to better serve her master, Miss Yuzhuang was allowed to read some books related to "serving tea and pouring water".

Song Yan smiled and said, "Then this should be Moonlight Ginger Tea."

"Ok!"

The young lady in jade makeup nodded heavily. Her cute little face looked as delicate as a piece of jade, and her big eyes sparkled as she looked at Song Yan.

Perhaps because of the furnace, Song Yan couldn't help but think of the tragic death of Queen Fu. Looking at the young lady in front of him, he stroked her cheek lovingly and said, "You should sit down and drink with us. It's good for everyone to be safe and sound."

The young lady in jade makeup hesitated.

Song Yan pulled her to sit down and poured her another glass.

The young lady Yuzhuang was so respectful that she didn't dare to say a word, but after spending some time together, she finally understood that the "master" was really kind to her.

This gave her extremely frightened heart a slight sense of security and dependence.

Song Yan held the moonlight ginger tea in his hand, feeling the warmth coming from the cup, and felt a moment of peace and rest in his heart.

The combination of "A Hundred Aspects of God" and "Painted Skin" is really good. Otherwise, he would not be able to control the shadow puppets to risk his life on the front line while drinking tea with the lady in the back.

If it were someone else, even Shi Zuo Weng who created "Bai Xiang Shen Yu", he would have to be extremely careful in controlling the shadow puppet. Not to mention multiple puppets, even just one would require all his strength.

In the deep palace of the Wei Imperial Palace, in front of an extremely remote cold palace.

The eunuch stopped walking because a palace maid suddenly walked out of the side room of the cold palace, looked at him from a distance, and asked, "Eunuch, what are you doing here?"

Song Yan didn't waste any words. He changed his body shape and turned into the appearance of the palace maid.

The "deformed soul" was stuffed into his shadow puppet, and the illusion he exerted was stronger than that of ordinary fox demons. However, there were also high-ranking fox demons who could see through it, but it seemed that this one was not one of them.

The maid was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of "Oh, one of us", and then asked: "Did the eldest mother ask you to come?"

Outsiders call her grandma.

The fox cubs call her Big Mom.

Song Yan said: "Grandma asked me to pass on some important information. Please let everyone come out."

The palace maid clapped her hands, and in the blink of an eye, another palace maid came out from the other side.

Of course, in Song Yan's eyes, these two are the true forms of fox demons.

The maid looked at him and said, "Come on, what's the matter? It seems that the eldest mother has something important to do today, and she took many brothers and sisters away."

Song Yan also clapped his hands, and another eunuch came out behind him.

The eunuch transformed into a palace maid.

"Everyone is here."

Song Yan said.

Then he waved.

Two fox demons came over.

Wait a little closer.

Song Yan's two shadow puppets suddenly attacked, but it was not a one-on-one fight, but a two-on-one fight.

The two shadow puppets, one on the left and one on the right, suddenly raised their claws and quickly grabbed the fox demon in front.

The fox demon reacted quickly and subconsciously raised its claws quickly, but it could only block one side. At the same time, it felt a pain in its abdomen. The other claw had pierced through its chest, and the claws clasped its heart, crushing it with a "bang".

The fox demon opened its mouth and showed its fangs, but a strong feeling of powerlessness came over it and it collapsed.

But there was a strong flash of doubt and unwillingness in its eyes.

It could feel that the two fox demons in front of it who were fighting for some unknown reason were not much stronger than it. If they really fought, one-on-one, it would basically be "if it wanted to escape, the other party would not be able to stop it", and as long as it escaped, it would shout for help, and in this deep palace, foxes would soon come to support it. Then it would figure out why these two fox demons were so cruel.

But... there is no chance anymore.

Two against one, a sudden attack, coupled with the slightly stronger strength, has cut off all its ways of survival.

Surprisingly, the two shadow puppets stopped right after they killed the fox demon.

One of them then looked at the other fox demon and said calmly, "Don't worry, it's Big Mom's arrangement."

The other fox demon was stunned by this extremely sudden situation, but seeing that the two really had no intention of taking action, it frowned and replied: "Impossible, it and I were both placed here by Big Mom. Big Mom trusts us the most, how could she ask you to kill it?"

A shadow puppet said, "Do you know what Grandma is going to do today?"

The fox demon frowned slightly but shook his head.

Grandma Fox acted cautiously, and those who were not taken by her to fight had no idea what she was going to do. Even those who were taken by her would not know until they arrived at the scene.

Another shadow puppet lowered his voice and said, "There is a traitor among us."

The fox demon looked at the other dead fox demon and asked in confusion: "Is it a traitor?"

The shadow puppet said: "Yes, and you must be careful, those traitors are very cunning."

The fox demon asked alertly, "Big Mom knows who it is?"

The shadow puppet said, "Big Mama doesn't know yet, but we have already found out. Big Mama said that she will do something big today, and the traitor will definitely not be able to hold back and will show up. That's why we stayed here."

The fox demon asked in confusion: "Who is that?"

The shadow puppet took half a step forward, moved a little closer, and then said in a low voice: "It's me." The fox demon suddenly looked up.

Two shadow puppets shot out with a whoosh.

Another two-on-one.

It is slightly stronger.

In a flash, the fox demon fell in a pool of blood and died unwillingly.

Immediately, the two shadow puppets started working separately.

One has to deal with the corpse quickly to prevent the smell of blood from spreading. After all, the fox demon has a strong sense of perception and will appear immediately if it smells anything wrong.

Another one quickly entered the cold palace and started tinkering with the mechanisms.

The mechanism is five metal ring-swallowing animal heads protruding from the wall. It seems that it is likely that the buttons need to be "pressed in a certain order" before the mechanism can be opened.

Song Yan looked at it for a while. At that time, his spiritual consciousness only roughly knew the way. How could he dare to watch it "enter the password" in front of Grandma Fox?
He scanned the surroundings and searched the bodies of the two dead fox demons.

As expected, reality is not a game. There is no such thing as "no matter how complicated the mechanism is, there must be a code within seven steps."
Returning to the code wall again, he tried to press the metal ring-swallowing beast head in the middle and push it inward.

With this pressure, the beast's head unexpectedly bounced back instantly, and the entire cold palace was filled with red light.

Song Yan was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly, raised his fist and began to smash the mechanism forcefully.

Two shadow puppets that resembled high-level monsters quickly took action.

The "Bodyless Phantom Crow" that had been hiding in the dark also flew down.

Boom boom boom!
Under the joint attack of three shadow puppets.

There was a hole in the mechanism.

But there were also many footsteps coming from the distance.

Apparently, they had been discovered.

Song Yan controlled a shadow puppet and quickly entered the cave.

Fortunately, this is the mortal world, and it is impossible to set up a long-term barrier or restriction, so it is so easy.

After entering the cave, he quickly scanned the situation in the secret room.

This secret room is a small room with a treasure rack on the left. The items stored on the rack are quite large, the kind that "cannot be placed in a narrow storage space."

There were mysterious weapons that looked like trophies, huge bones of unknown animals, strange stone tablets with distorted characters, and gadgets made of unknown jade that looked like works of art. If you wanted to take these things away, it would be as conspicuous as "someone broke into the community and ran out carrying a TV."
Compared with the dazzling array of treasures on the left side, the one on the right side appears extremely simple.

That's a special metal cage.

There was a vague outline of a crawling black shadow in the cage. It was not very big, with pale and colorful patterns. Just looking at those patterns would make people feel creepy.

Song Yan looked at it more closely and felt that he could only see that the pattern was a blurry and colorful mass, but he couldn't see what it was specifically. However, he inexplicably felt a sense of fear in his heart.

He looked at the pattern as if he were staring into hell.

Each pattern represents an evil spirit that is carrying a strong curse, hesitating, lowering its head, using its hands and feet, and crawling forward aimlessly.

But the dark silhouette seemed to be asleep, so the many crawling evil spirits did not notice him.

Song Yan quickly glanced around and saw that the black shadow in the cage had shackles on its limbs, with all kinds of strange talismans stuck on the shackles. In addition, there was a plate of incense burning in front of the iron cage.

The incense was emitting a strange scent that made people drowsy and weak, and it was obviously not an ordinary item.

He never expected to see such a thing in Grandma Fox's small treasury.

"It looks like a demon, at least. What kind of demon beast is it? Why is it locked up by Grandma Fox?"

At this moment, the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. I was afraid that in a short while, many fox demons hiding in the palace would arrive here. And then there would be more and more.

Song Yan's three shadow puppets were fine for dealing with a few fox demons, but when dealing with so many, the only result was that they were all torn apart.

"You can't come here for nothing! What do you want to get?"

Song Yan's thoughts raced like lightning.

His eyes quickly flashed across the many large items on the treasure shelf, and then quickly fell on a mysterious long sword.

brush!
He drew his sword and quickly grabbed a jade object that could serve as a container.

then
The long sword suddenly pierced into the dark, colorful shadow that was sleeping in the cage.

The colorful shadow's body shook.

Whoosh!
A stream of blood suddenly spurted out.

Song Yan hurriedly took the jade container to hold it.

The colorful shadow slowly opened its eyes, with a long-dormant doubt in its pupils, but in an instant, it seemed to remember something, and in an instant it became full of hatred. The eyes suddenly rolled up and looked at the person bleeding outside the cage, revealing a strange look of contemplation.

At this moment, Song Yan felt that there were suddenly a few drops of rich blood like rubies in the blood that rushed out, and it was extremely heavy when it entered the container.

In a blink of an eye, the container was full.

Song Yan hurriedly found something to plug the cap of the jade container.

The bodyless phantom crow swooped in from outside, folded its wings, quickly wrapped around the jade container, and then flew away swiftly.

When the two shadow puppets walked out of the secret room, they saw a number of grinning fox heads sticking out from the wall outside the cold palace.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two shadow puppets immediately ran away in different directions.

The fox demons chased after them.

The bodyless phantom crow was originally the most powerful hiding monster among the intermediate monsters, and its hiding ability was enhanced because of the deformed soul. It hid in the shadow of the tree for a while, then moved forward by stopping and flying from time to time, and then escaped from the palace, escaped from the imperial capital, and went towards the direction of the Puppet Sect.

I didn't get the "man-eating fox blood" of Grandma Fox, but I got the blood of something unknown.
After all, it wasn't like I returned empty-handed.

But the only three fox demon puppets will probably all be killed in the imperial capital.
