MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 25 [025] Eight Puppet Road

  Chapter 25 [025] Eighth Grade Puppet Road

   "Father, there is such a big mess in Wendeng County this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end it in the end."

  In the courtyard of Huangfu, Huang You and his father sat in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.

   About the hundreds of deaths in Wendeng County today, they have all heard from the servants.

   Such a bad thing has not happened since the establishment of Dawen Deng County.

   "Wendeng's injury." Mr. Huang sighed.

  Although he no longer holds the position of county magistrate, Mr. Huang, who has always loved the people like a son and cared for the people, still can't help but feel sad when he finds out what happened today.

   "By the way, didn't you tell me that you invited a Master Ning to come to the mansion to live temporarily, I have never seen him before." Mr. Huang turned and asked.

  Huang You scratched his head: "I don't know very well, my son. This Master Ning has official business in Wendeng County this time, so he must be doing his own business."

At this moment, a servant suddenly ran over and hurriedly said: "Master, Young Master, there is a servant from outside the mansion who came to spread the word, saying that the Xinxian Prime Minister was unfortunately killed by a demon, and at the order of Lord Ning, let the master first. The official resumes his post and temporarily takes the position of county magistrate."

  Huang You: "Hmm! How could there be such a good thing!"

   Mr. Huang: "Huh? Such unfortunate things happened."

   Hearing Lord Feng Ning's order, Huang You's heart instantly became brighter.

   It is indeed useful to spend 4,000 taels of silver for this lord.

   As long as you are willing to spend money on the right person, no, won’t the benefits be repaid?

   For a time, Huang You admired his investment vision.

   "The other yamen also said that I hope you, sir, will return to the yamen to take over the official duties. Recently, there has been a lot of accumulation in the county yamen, which needs to be dealt with urgently."

   "I see." Mr. Huang nodded.

Huang You laughed loudly: "Father, this time the boy has really made friends with a noble person. I never thought that Lord Ning would be able to achieve such a step. Now that you have returned to the position of county magistrate, I can be considered able to use that. The imperial post has delivered the goods."

   "That's all you can do."

   "Father, you don't understand. Without my promise, who in Wendeng County would be willing to spend four thousand taels to buy a hammer."

  …

   Outside Wendeng County, a simple-looking old man sat in the corner of the tea shed at the entrance of the county.

   He was holding a fire stick and a sackcloth doll in his hands. Without anyone noticing, the old man directly pressed the fire stick on the doll's body, and then he whispered in a low voice.

   "Aunt Chu, Wendeng County has come to Fu Mowei. Duluo and I were discovered. Duluo is dead. I was arrested and locked in the yamen prison."

As soon as the    voice fell, the doll suddenly set itself on fire, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into ash.

   After doing all this, the old man got up and left the tea shed.

  …

   After the demon who could turn a living person into a puppet incarnation was locked in the deepest part of the prison, Ning Xiu sat in the yamen and waited patiently.

   It is currently unknown whether there are other puppet incarnations of the demon hidden in Wendeng County, and if so, how many there are.

   So Ning Xiu could only wait for Su Qianqian to send the Demon Commander who could identify the problem.

After    has completely eliminated all hidden dangers in Wendeng County, he can **** the demon back to Chaotiandu.

  Ning Xiu also made a little guess of his own through some analysis of the monster.

   Although this monster can control the avatar to move around, it should have a general range of activities, such as the entire Wendeng County, and it can't go any farther.

  Because of this, this monster would sneak into Wendeng County and use the identity of Lu Dengke to disguise.

   Otherwise, if there were no distance restrictions, he would not have to take such a risk and personally come to Wendeng County to do harm.

   After a long wait, when the sky was about to fall into the night, a figure from Chaotiandu finally appeared outside Wendeng County.

  Three demon-fussing captains dressed in black-silver chainmail quickly rushed into Wendeng County, heading straight for the yamen.

   When he learned from the yamen that there was a demon-subduing officer arriving outside, Ning Xiu immediately went out to greet him. After waiting for so long, the reinforcements finally arrived.

   There was no Su Qianqian among the three who came to Wendeng County this time, but three men who looked seven or eight years older than Ning Xiu.

   This made Ning Xiu a little surprised. Could it be that the matter he reported was not worth having Su Qianqian go there in person?

   "I've seen three of them, Ning Xiu, who was dismounting from the iron horse. I don't know what to call them?" Ning Xiu asked with clasped fists.

"Brother Ning, you're welcome, there are actually no three, this time I'm the only one, my name is Ren Qianxing." The man standing in the middle of the three said with a smile, and took out a token of the Iron Horse Demon Captain and shook it in front of Ning Xiu. Akira to prove his identity.

   "Huh?" Ning Xiu was taken aback for a moment, then he reached out and patted the two men around Ren Qianxing.

   Sure enough, the feel of the shot was extremely hard, and there was a 'bang bang' sound, and as soon as you touched it, you knew it was not a real person.

   "It's so lifelike and vivid, I wouldn't have noticed it without you reminding me. Brother Ren is a good way. Could it be that you're cultivating a puppet path?" Ning Xiu withdrew his hand and asked in surprise.

Ren Qianxing nodded: "That's right, I'm a puppet master of the eighth rank. This time I heard that there is a demon who is good at puppet incarnation in Wendeng County. Master Su asked me to come and take a look. By the way, I will help Brother Ning deal with puppet incarnation. question."

   Seeing that Su Qianqian didn't show up in person, Ning Xiu was a little unsure.

   Now that I know that the person in front of me is actually a puppet master of the eighth rank of the puppet path, my heart is instantly at ease.

   As the saying goes, there is a specialization in the art industry. If you want to find out the hidden incarnations of puppets in Wendeng County, who can compare with a puppet master who specializes in puppet creation.

   "That's good, Brother Ren come with me, and I'll take you to see that monster."

   Deep in the yamen prison.

   Lu Dengke's corpse was placed in a large iron cage. In order to prevent the demon from being suffocated to death, Ning Xiu untied the bedding that wrapped Lu Dengke's corpse.

   enabled others to see at a glance Lu Dengke's miserable skeleton body and the monster curled up in the ribs of his ribcage.

  Ren Qianxing stared at the demon for a long time, sighed inexplicably, and then sighed with emotion: "It's a good one who occupies the body and grabs the body. If it can be carried forward, it must be another branch of the puppet Dao, but it's a pity that it has fallen into a demon."

   "Brother Ren, what do you mean by that?" Ning Xiu asked.

  Ren Qianxing pointed at the head where the demon and Lu Dengke's heart merged: "This person is like a worm sent into other people's bodies.

   At the same time, his own appearance will also begin to transform into the appearance of the deceased, and you can feel it by looking at his face.

If my guess is correct, I just need to wait for a while, and when his limbs grow palms and soles, he will climb out of the dead body, and finally fill his body with all kinds of five animal skins, this monster can be reborn, really replace the identity of the original owner. "

   Listening to Ren Qianxing's explanation, the monster in the iron cage sneered: "You are amazing, you can actually see the effect of my self-created puppet Dao technique."

  Ren Qianxing ignored this person and continued: "Fortunately, Brother Ning, you discovered the existence of this monster in advance and captured him, otherwise it will be too late when his technique is completed."

  Ning Xiu came to a sudden realization, and then he understood why the monster looked exactly like the dead Lu Dengke.

  Emotion is the reason behind this.

"Brother Ren, although this secret is very interesting, I don't really care. This monster may have made a lot of puppet incarnations in Wendeng County. The most urgent task now is to find out all those puppet incarnations, destroy them, and restore them. Wendeng County is peaceful." Ning Xiu said in a low voice to prevent the demons from hearing him.

  Ren Qianxing nodded and replied, "Well, I know."

  Ning Xiu glanced at the demon: "Brother Ren, you have also met the demon. Let's go out and talk about any plans."

"Row."

   After walking out of the prison, Ning Xiu immediately asked: "Brother Ren, do you have any countermeasures? If you need human help, just tell me, and I will cooperate with all my strength."

   "Puppet masters generally have three methods to control puppets, using strings, souls, and talismans. Each of the three methods has its own advantages and disadvantages. I just saw the appearance of the demon in the prison, not using wires to control the puppet.

   Controlling puppets with lines is the most difficult to leave traces, and the last two ways to control puppets are relatively easy to find. Brother Ning will stay in the yamen to rest for the time being, and I can handle this matter alone. "

   "Then it's your job."

   Hearing the information he wanted from the demon, Ren Qianxing immediately began to act and left the yamen with his two puppets.

   Although he didn't know this person, after all, Su Qianqian specially arranged it, and as a puppet master, Ning Xiu felt very relieved.

   After Ren Qianxing left, he returned to the room that Dong Fu had arranged for him in the yamen, and began to chant the sutras tonight.

   Counting the days, the golden bead in his hand is almost at the time when the word red is full.

  The night was getting darker.

  The whole Wen Deng Yamen is very quiet, extremely quiet.

   Two yamen officers patrolled the yamen with lanterns to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.

  Although the chance of such a thing happening is very low, it still has to be prevented.

   At this moment, several figures suddenly leaped in from outside the wall. Before the two yamen could even react, their bodies had already begun to melt terribly.

   instantly turned into blood and water, and no one was left, only the clothes of the deceased in the pool of blood remained.

   "The prison is over there, speed is fast, don't let the Demon Commander notice it."

   Several figures quickly ran on the roof of the building in the yamen, and soon came to the entrance of the prison.

   At this time, there were four jailers standing outside the door. The area illuminated by the brazier and torches was brightly lit. Anyone who approached would be discovered immediately.

   But these figures had no intention of hiding at all. They jumped off the roof and quickly rushed towards the entrance of the prison.

   "Someone robbed prison!"

   "Go beat the drums! Inform Lord Ning!"

   Without waiting for these jailers to do anything, those figures had already come to them.

  The seven orifices of the four jailers spurted out a large amount of blood in an instant, and one of them sucked them all into their mouths.

   In an instant, the blood of the four was exhausted, and they fell to the ground one by one.

   And those mysterious figures have long since disappeared within the entrance of the prison.

  …

"Um?"

   Ning Xiu, who was chanting to Jin Zhu, suddenly stopped his mouth.

   In his senses, he felt that the room became inexplicably gloomy and cold, which was not a normal sign.

   He immediately performed the Spiritual Eye Observation Technique, and saw strands of evil qi constantly drifting in from outside the door and the window.

   Although these evil spirits are not very strong, it is enough to show that the problem has become a little serious.

   Before this, there was no evil spirit in Wen Deng Yamen, but now it suddenly appeared.

   means that there are a lot of evil spirits or demons here at the moment, otherwise, there would be absolutely no way to cause such a big movement.

   "Could it be... not good!" Ning Xiu's mind flashed a flash of light, he hurriedly put Jin Zhu in his arms, got up and ran out of the door.

  Wendeng Yamen has nothing to attract evil spirits at all, so the problem must be the monster who was put into the Yamen prison by himself today.

   Could it be that there are not only two monsters hidden in Wendeng County, he has other accomplices?

   Taking advantage of the silence of the night, they planned to forcibly rob the prison and rescue the demon.

  Ning Xiu must not let such a thing happen, but there are still a lot of secrets hidden in the body of the monster, and he needs to be escorted back to the Fumo Division and handed over to a special person for torture and questioning.

   There is absolutely no room for error.
