Chapter 1579 Breaking the Record
He Lingchuan ignored him: "Did Cao Wendao have any dealings with Qingyang Regent in the past?"
"Well, I, I have been with my master to the Shining Gold Plain for twenty years, but I haven't seen him." Yang Chi thought for a while, "But I heard from my fellow disciples that my master used to be an official in Lingxu City and also stayed in Tian and Tiangong for a long time."
"Heavenly Palace?" He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other, and the first thing they thought of were the powerful beasts guarding the bottom of the Star-Picking Tower.
Yes, since Cao Wenda is a powerful demon puppet master and was born in Lingxu City, it is very likely that he has done research on the beasts in the Heavenly Palace.
In ancient times, the powerful beasts could even compete with the big demons. When the Zhaixing Tower was on fire, Chen Yuan and Ju Ju fought to a standstill.
The connection between the three of them, Tiangong, Cao Wendao and the beast, always makes people feel ominous.
"It seems that they are old acquaintances." Then, Cao Wendao was most likely hired by Qingyang to take He Lingchuan's life.
Yang Chi continued, "However, my master is actually more interested in the people around Island Master He. He believes that there is a colleague of ours hiding in Yongquan Villa, that is, a demon and demon puppet master."
Dong Rui's eyes flickered: "Why do you say that?"
"A few months ago, a giant ape appeared in the dead village battle between the Situ family and the ghost king. Master collected a lot of information and researched it. He thought it might be a demon puppet, although the craftsmanship was very crude..."
"What?" Dong Rui narrowed his eyes, "He said someone's craftsmanship was crude!"
He Lingchuan raised his hand: "Let him continue."
"That method is rather primitive, but the idea is interesting. Moreover, this kind of demon puppet is quite autonomous and is also difficult to control. This is, this is what Master said."
"Isn't an interesting soul better than his brainless insect puppet?" Dong Rui sneered, "Your master is so narcissistic."
Yang Chi nodded.
These people were wearing veils, but this one was most likely the demon puppet master Wei Yishan, right? Even if he didn't reveal his true identity, seeing how he dealt with several demon puppets with ease, Yang Chi felt that he was a colleague.
At this moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, and the bright aurora illuminated the surroundings.
At this moment, the interior of the carriage was illuminated as bright as day, and everyone's face was pale.
Yang Chi knelt on the ground with his head tilted up. Before he could turn around, He Lingchuan saw a flash of blue light in the corner of his eyes.
Ok?
The power of thunder passed in an instant, and the world returned to darkness.
Dong Rui glanced out the window: "It's going to rain soon, which is rare."
There is little rainfall in Tianshui City in winter, but the upcoming rain seems to be quite heavy.
Others wanted to light the lamp, but He Lingchuan waved his hand: "No need."
As he spoke, two more bolts of lightning struck, in the shape of huge tree branches, brighter and more domineering than the first.
After a while, thunder was heard.
He Lingchuan kept staring at Yang Chi and saw a flash of blue light in the corner of his eyes again.
Ah.
He just pretended not to see it and continued to ask: "Why are you interested in that demon puppet master?"
"According to the intelligence we received, Xiao An might have fallen into your...their hands." Yang Chi murmured, "Master has spent so much effort on Xiao An, and he really wants to find her back."
"Why did Cao Wendao inject a human soul into Tong Xuan's body and make these changes?"
Yang Chi whispered, "The direction of our experiment is to make the body of a powerful monster closer to human form. If we use Tong Xuan, it will be done in one step and it is worth studying."
Tong Xuan can transform into a human being, which saves many steps, so Cao Wendao directly enters the next research stage.
He Lingchuan glanced at Dong Rui and said, "A human-shaped demon puppet, right? I find that you demon puppet masters all have wild ideas."
Yang Chi: “Yes, yes.”
Dong Rui wiped his nose and said nothing. He had also studied humanoid demon puppets, but stopped halfway.
He Lingchuan then asked: "Why do you need to inject human souls into it if you want to study Tong Xuan?"
"Master said that the human body must be able to match the human soul, and this research will only be meaningful." Yang Chi said seriously, "Successful matching means that the human soul can command the demon body to act, the soul does not go crazy, and the demon body does not collapse."
He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other and both felt strange: "So far, have there been any successful examples?"
"Our most successful case is Xiao An. But Master estimated that she had less than half a year left to live when she escaped." At this point, Yang Chi was also a little curious, "Is she dead or alive now?"
Dong Rui smiled but did not answer. Who is asking who now?
Wanqi Liang flicked the blade, and there was a slight clang. Yang Chi shuddered, remembering that he was the prisoner.
At this time, He Lingchuan suddenly said, "Pull over to the side of the bushes. I'll get off."
Dong Ruiqi asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I drank too much water last night." Halfway through his words, He Lingchuan had already jumped off the carriage and disappeared behind the bushes.
Several of Yang Shan's guards also got off the car and stood outside the bushes to keep watch for him.
People have three urgent needs.
The night wind blew into the carriage, and a lock of Dong Rui's hair scratched his nose, making it itchy. He subconsciously reached out to scratch it.
But after scratching a few times, his movements suddenly stopped and his eyes narrowed slightly.
This state lasted for less than a moment before he returned to normal. So in the eyes of others, he was just looking out the window and was a little distracted.
Soon, He Lingchuan emerged from the bushes and returned to the car with two guards:
"Walk."
The carriage continued to move towards Yongquan Villa.
He Lingchuan sat down and motioned for Yang Chi to continue.
"Master was furious a few days ago because he heard that Qiandufang's experiments were progressing faster and their test subjects lived longer than Xiaoan!" Yang Chi recalled, "He kept cursing and saying that those people had received help from Master Shuangye."
Imperial Master Shuangye? He Lingchuan didn't expect to hear Shuangye's name at this time, and couldn't help but be startled.
Yang Chi continued, “This is the most important task that the Heavenly Palace has assigned to Master. If we complete it well, we can go back to Lingxu City!”
He Lingchuan's mind moved: "Wait, are there other demon puppet masters in the Heavenly Palace also studying this?"
"Yes. As far as I know, there are four or five other groups of people, all of whom are conducting experiments outside of Bejia." Yang Chi shook his head, "I don't know why they are doing this, I'm just following orders!"
Injecting human souls into the bodies of humanoid monsters, and requiring the souls and bodies to adapt to each other and not collapse, this research goal sounds weird.
Why do we have to make monsters in human form?
Why inject human souls?
Why not let the human soul stay in the human body? Isn't this kind of research unnecessary?
Dong Rui suddenly asked: "What's the next step?"
"what?"
"If Xiao An's experiment is successful, if she doesn't die or collapse, what experiment will Cao Wendao do next?"
"That's the next stage of the experiment." Yang Chi thought for a while, "Master once said that the stronger the power of these demon puppets or beasts, the better, but there must be a strong soul to control them; on the other hand, if the soul controlling them is not strong enough, these demon puppets themselves will not be able to become stronger."
Dong Rui nodded, and He Lingchuan and the others were puzzled: "Why?"
Dong Rui explained to them: "Monsters are fundamentally different from animals, and they also need to practice. After they are transformed into monster puppets, although they can use divine blood to forcibly induce deformation and induce increased power, the price is also very high, that is, the soul and body are very unstable. Only by finding a way to stabilize the two can we try to use divine blood to enhance the power of the monster puppet again. Therefore, the enhancement of the monster puppet must be done step by step."
He Lingchuan thought thoughtfully: "No wonder Cao Wendao is looking for a powerful human soul."
He stretched and said to Dong Rui, "Cao Wendao is cunning and cautious. After escaping from the Fennel Inn today, I don't know when he will show up again. This is a hidden danger that must be eliminated."
"Do you have any idea?"
"Xiao An!" He Lingchuan said seriously, "We will use Xiao An to set a trap and lure him out of the cave!"
"Setting up a trap?" Dong Rui was startled. "Bring her to Tianshui City? It will take quite some time to go back and forth. Can you handle it?"
"It's a small matter. I have a lot of guards around me, so who can I be afraid of?" He Lingchuan said with a smile, "I just don't know how powerful Xiao An's bait is."
"Oh, don't underestimate the demon puppet master's persistence." Dong Rui said seriously, "She is Cao Wendao's most important research result. As long as there is a little hope of recovering her, Cao Wendao cannot give up; even if Xiao An dies, her dying state and performance can also become extremely important information."
Even so? Yang Chi, who was kneeling on the ground, widened his eyes. What this meant was that Xiao An was not dead yet!
Then her survival time is far more than seven and a half months! This result is amazing, breaking the record of Qiandufang!
"Great, I'll send someone to escort you back and forth." He Lingchuan never dragged his feet. "There's no time to lose, you should leave early tomorrow morning. By the way, the original route is no longer available. The river in the north of Mangzhou has been blocked and cleared, so boats can't go there."
The rivers were dry in winter, and the riverbeds of many waterways were exposed, so Yao State simply blocked the flow and cleared the silt.
Dong Rui scratched his head: "Then I will bypass the south of Tianshui City early tomorrow morning and head west to Zhu County? This way I can also travel half of the way by water, saving some time..."
Having said this, he suddenly looked at Yang Chi.
"Okay, let's do it." He Lingchuan had just finished speaking when he heard a popping sound and felt something strange in his arms.
He reached into his arms and took out a broken knot.
"Something happened at home, we have to go back."
This knot is a warning, meaning that there is trouble in Yongquan Villa and the owner He Lingchuan needs to be present to resolve it.
Dong Rui and Soul Mirror said in unison: "Now?"
They have important things to do, what a coincidence!
But if we go back too late, it will be troublesome if the people in Yao find that He Lingchuan is not in the village.
"Anyway, there is still some time, let's go back first." After saying that, He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows towards Wanqi Liang.
As thunder rumbled in the sky, the outline of Yongquan Villa was already in sight.
"Logically speaking" He Lingchuan was still in the bedroom of the villa, and Dong Rui was still in his own cellar. They couldn't just drive in like that.
