After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 74 73. The teacher is a genius, I am not as good as him (3.6K words - please subscribe)
A few days later.
Shadow puppet pavilion.

Guan Wu, the inner sect disciple who was in charge of picking up the shadow puppets, looked at the box in his hand in astonishment and asked in surprise, "Master Song, why are the shadow puppets these days all intermediate-level demon beasts at the fourth level of Lianxuan?
Besides, this is still less?"

Song Yan was about to speak, but he coughed twice first, then said: "My hands haven't been feeling well these days, but they should be better in a few days."

Guan Wu was stunned for a moment, but remembering the incident when Master Song was attacked by shadow puppets some time ago, he estimated in his mind and immediately realized that this incident might have left a psychological trauma on Master Song, so that he didn't even dare to touch the skins of slightly higher-level monsters.

Guan Wu sighed and consoled him, "Master Song, I know about that. You just happened to take the skin of a multi-tailed fox demon that has already entered the level of a high-level demon beast, so it backfired."

Song Yan just smiled bitterly but didn't answer.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of snake bites for ten years.

You have to do the whole act. You can't just start acting and then forget about it.

During this period, he chose to make the most common intermediate monsters, and his efficiency also increased from "one finished shadow puppet a day" to "one every two days".

Shadow puppets are weapons.

The production of his weapons had dropped, so the inner disciples who came to pick up the goods were naturally anxious.

As they were talking, they heard a woman's charming voice from afar: "Fellow Daoist Song, how are you?"

Guan Wu turned his head and saw a beautiful woman in black robe standing at the end of the street, looking over here with a smile.

The beautiful woman was as plump as a juicy peach, with her eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of an evil, deep black color. She was gorgeous, enchanting, and eerie.

"Who are you?" Guan Wu immediately became alert.

At this time, a monk in a white robe quickly came out from behind the beautiful woman and said, "Nephew, please don't be rude."

Guan Wu looked and saw that it was Uncle Yin Wutai Yin from the Paper Money House, and he bowed hurriedly.

Yin Wutai said, "This Junior Sister Wang used to be from Nanzhu Peak. Now she came from Shadi to deliver the finished fox demon shadow puppets to us. She was very surprised to hear that our Master Song is from Nanwu Jianmen, so she wanted to come and see us and catch up with us."

Guan Wu suddenly realized, then bowed again and quickly left with the shadow puppet made by Song Yan.

This beautiful woman in black robe is naturally Wang Susu.

Wang Susu whispered a few words to Yin Wutai, who nodded and turned away.

Wang Susu walked towards Song Yan with a smile on her face.

Song Yan lowered his head and coughed twice, then said, "Yuzhuang, pour the tea."

After a while.
In a quiet room in the shadow puppet pavilion.

Song Yan and Wang Susu sat opposite each other.

Wang Susu smiled and said, "Sitting opposite each other like this really reminds me of the days when I sat opposite Daoist Song and worked on leather every day at Nanzhu Peak.

But Brother Song deceived others so badly. It was a pity that Brother Song helped the eldest daughter of the Su family to kill the Prince of Zhennan. I even guaranteed Brother Song that Brother Song was definitely not a spy, hehehe."

Song Yan noticed that Wang Susu had changed a lot.

Her eyes were very large and black, and extremely deep, and there was an irrepressible ghostly aura surrounding her, as if her entire body was shrouded in a faint black smoke, revealing an evil enchantment.

It is impossible for a ghost cultivator to send Master Pi or any disciple from Nanzhu Peak out, because this is like releasing a fish into the water, which is likely to never come back, not to mention that the fish is carrying an important shadow puppet.

As if she had noticed Song Yan's doubts, Wang Susu smiled charmingly and said, "He is a ghost cultivator."

Song Yan was shocked and asked, "Are you dead?"

Wang Susu laughed so hard that she leaned back and forth, and then said, "You are the one who died. As for me, I turned into a ghost Xuan Gen."

Song Yan was stunned.

He got it.

This old acquaintance in front of me might have also been haunted by ghosts for a long time, but this is a very dangerous and scary thing.

He will not die according to the life span calculation, but others will.

"Then Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Shangguan, and everyone else."

Wang Susu said: “Those unlucky guys all died, and their deaths were very tragic.

I was lucky and succeeded.”

After that, she rolled her eyes and held her chin up, saying, "Fellow Daoist Song, I came here this time to see if I can make up for the regrets of the past. Hehe. Being beaten up by a righteous disciple like you who hides himself so well, it should be unforgettable, right?"

As Wang Susu spoke, she moved closer, then climbed onto the table, flipped over lightly, and landed between Song Yan's legs. She hooked her hands around his neck, then leaned over to his ear and said, "I changed my Xuan roots and survived, so Master Shi accepted me as his disciple.

So, actually, I have to call you Senior Brother Song again.

The teacher said that he has always valued you, and if you have nowhere to go, you can come to Shadi.

Paper Man Peak is not a place for you to stay for long.

Gu Huangzi accepted you as his disciple, but he had bad intentions. "

Wang Susu's voice became lower and lower, and it seemed as if she was conveying a secret message, but her hands became unruly.

Song Yan grabbed it.

Wang Susu chuckled and did not continue, but continued: "Teacher has found an opportunity to break through the Crimson Palace Realm. At the same time, during these days in the evil land, he has also comprehended a lot of new shadow puppet techniques. We are all looking forward to your coming."

After saying this, she flipped her long legs, moved her buttocks away from between Song Yan's legs, tugged at her black robe, turned around and walked two steps, turned back and smiled sweetly, then left quickly.

Song Yan was speechless.

Junior Sister Wang is really lucky. She has actually become a Ghost Xuan Root. In addition, she is in a dangerous place, so her cultivation speed should be much faster.

As for her invitation.
Song Yan thought for a moment and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He reacted.
Whether you accept it or not, or whether you believe it or not, is actually not important.

The important thing is that the old demon Guhuangzi must know that Wang Susu met him privately and talked with him for a long time in a quiet room.

Yin Wutai is likely to chat casually with Wang Susu about himself. Even if he doesn't, Wang Susu may accidentally reveal some "flaws".

This was enough to make the old demon Guhuangzi worry that his "shadow puppet maker" would run away.

If we think of the worst case scenario, maybe someone released their spiritual sense to eavesdrop, and it is possible that everything Wang Susu said fell into that person's ears.

There are only three possible outcomes for him:
One, escape back to Nanwu Jianmen, but the hope is extremely slim, and there will be many troubles. In addition, the situation is special at this time, Nanwu Jianmen will not destroy the alliance plan for him;
Second, escape to a place of evil;

Third, he would be imprisoned more severely by Gu Huangzi, and his legs might even be broken or something. This was the real reason why Wang Susu went to find him.

As for what exactly Shi Zuo Weng was planning, he still couldn't see clearly, but since Shi Shi had the hope of breaking through the Crimson Palace Realm, he naturally didn't want his unique secret method to be spread outside.
It's hard to say whether this is "killing with a borrowed knife".

Although he described the relationship between the brother and sister in a gentle and soft voice, he actually had ulterior motives.

Song Yan was speechless.

We've been working together for so many years, so we should know each other.

But this is really tight.
The next day.

An elder displayed the fox demon shadow puppet sent by Master Shi.

The shadow puppet was tied to the fingertips and connected by mysterious energy. It suddenly changed into various shapes, transforming into people of various appearances by magic. Sometimes it was a beautiful woman with a charming smile, sometimes a hunchbacked old man, sometimes a strong man, and sometimes an innocent child.
Ever-changing and fascinating.

For a time, Paper Man Peak was in an uproar.

After all, everyone knows the value of such a fox demon shadow puppet.

It can fight, kill, and camouflage, and its functionality is much better than those pure "big monsters".

If they had this fox demon shadow puppet, the Puppet Sect's "infiltration ability" would become extremely terrifying, almost omnipresent. When facing a force like the Nanwu Jianmen, they could easily sneak in and cause great damage when the other party was not paying attention.

The disciples also started to communicate with each other.

“I didn’t expect the fox demon shadow puppet to be so good.”

"Yes, when dealing with these fox demons, we were troubled by their illusions. But if we can become shadow puppets, we can use this power to our advantage."

"These days, we have joined forces with the ghost cultivators to strangle a lot of fox demons."

The disciples’ voices were filled with emotion and excitement.

At this time, someone looked at Song Yan on the other side.

"Master Song is here too." said a disciple.

However, Song Yan remained silent, staring at the fox puppet with his eyes, and sighed for a long time: "Teacher is a genius, I am not as good as him."

Some of the disciples tried to comfort him, some looked mocking, but most of them remained silent.

In their minds, "Master Song, who made an intermediate-level monster shadow puppet every day", was almost surpassing "Master Shi", but now Master Song was beaten down all of a sudden.

It’s true, you won’t know until you compare.

Older gingers are more spicy.

Time flies, and more than a month has passed.

The bodyless phantom crow delivered the bottle of blood to Song Yan with determination to accomplish its mission.

Song Yan quickly hid the blood in the storage space, leaving everything to be done after the trip to Hantan Valley Market.

And the Hantan Valley market was finally opened.

Song Yan was not among the first group to enter the market. Instead, he waited for a few days before entering the market with some fellow disciples from the Puppet Sect.

When they arrived at the city gate, there were already monks stationed there, and in the sightseeing pavilion not far away there was a monk from the Crimson Palace realm sitting in charge.

What surprised everyone was that there was a small crystal cage hanging in front of the door.

Nearly a hundred snow-white insects were flying in the cage.

Everyone took a glance and were about to step into the academy, but a gatekeeper stepped forward and stopped them, saying, "Fellow Daoists, please go to the cage first and then enter."

Guan Wu and Song Yan were familiar with each other and were traveling together. He stepped forward and asked, "What's the reason?"

The monk said, "It was decided by the sect leader and elders."

Guan Wuyi frowned and said coldly in a sinister voice, "What sect leader elder?!"

The monk said calmly: "It was also decided by your Guhuangzi Sect Master."

Guan Wu immediately fell silent, took two steps forward, shook his face in front of the cage, and said, "Is this okay?"

The monk smiled and nodded.

So, everyone followed his instructions one by one. When everything was done, the monk said, "Excuse me, fellow Taoists. The cage contains a kind of strange insect called 'Illusion-Eating Flying Ants'. They are extremely sensitive to illusions. If someone uses an illusion and tries to sneak into the market, these illusion-eating flying ants will quickly stick to the crystal wall.

This visit to the Hantan Valley Market Square is of great significance. In order to prevent the fox demon from sneaking in, I have to do this. Sorry for the offense."

Song Yan wondered, "If everyone is equipped with some of these strange insects, how can the fox demon hide?"

The monk said, "Fellow Daoist, you are joking. The number of Illusion Devouring Flying Ants is very small, and it is not easy to take out so many. It is only because the market in Hantan Valley has opened that the senior took the initiative to take them out."

Song Yan nodded and walked in, while Miss Yuzhuang held his hand tightly.

Once they reach the market, the Puppet Sect monks will run to the area where the mysterious weapons and elixirs are sold.

Song Yan paused and said, "I won't go there."

Guan Wuqi asked, "What does Master Song want to buy?"

Song Yan smiled and said, "Buy some supplements for my Xiao Yuzhuang. I'm going to go shopping in the mortal area."

Everyone laughed, and Guan Wu said happily: "Master Song is really a man who cherishes women. Then Master Song will take your young lady for a walk."

Yueyang Luo and Shen Nongjia were also there. They wanted to follow their master around, but they really didn't want to go to the mortal area, so they said, "Master, then you go around."

Song Yan smiled and nodded, then parted ways with the others.

Gu Huangzi placed a tracking mark on him so he wasn't worried about him getting lost, not to mention he was carrying such a big young lady like Yuzhuang with him.

As for meeting with the people from Nanwu Jianmen, Guhuangzi didn't care.

No matter what he said, he would most likely be put under house arrest after he returned from his visit to the market this time.

The only thing Gu Huangzi was worried about was that he would spread the "Secret Art of Shadow Play of Shi Zuo Weng". However, both Gu Huangzi and Song Yan knew clearly that as long as Song Yan dared to send it, he would not be confined after returning.
Gu Huangzi could roughly guess what kind of person Song Yan was.

He just didn't believe that Song Yan was a person who would sacrifice his life for justice.

I have to say, he is quite good at judging people.
