He Lingchuan smiled. Wanqi Feng had just come to inform him that Dong Rui had returned to Yongquan Villa.
He casually took out a bag of Chanlo beans and threw them over. These were made from Chanlo powder and reshaped into beans, with sweet plum wine in the middle, like chocolate beans with a liquor filling from another world, with a hint of wine in the unique richness of cocoa, and the slight sourness of plums to relieve the greasiness.
After the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce asked a workshop to create this flavor, it became popular in Tianshui City and was loved by both children and monkeys.
The ghost ape had been away with his master for more than a month and had nothing to eat in Ju City, so he missed it very much.
A figure flashed outside the house, and Dong Rui also walked in. He reached out and picked up a bean from Monkey's paper bag and ate it. At the same time, he greeted He Lingchuan perfunctorily: "Hey, I'm back. Water!"
He Lingchuan was not used to his bad habits, so he pointed to the corner and said, "Pour it yourself."
Dong Rui had an untidy beard and wrinkled clothes, and he smelled of horse sweat. When he sat down, he slumped over in the shape of a "big" character, and it was obvious that he had just landed after a long journey.
One month! He went back to Jucheng to do some work, and it only took him one month to go back and forth! He was worried that He Lingchuan couldn't handle it here alone, so he rushed back day and night.
Lingguang couldn't bear it and poured Dong Rui a cup of tea.
Dong Rui took it with a touched look on his face: "My Lingguang is still considerate!"
He glanced at the fat monkey with resentment. The ghost monkey was peeling off the oil paper and licking the candy beans, not even giving his master a glance.
Fragrant, really scented!
While Dong Rui was gulping down a few gulps of tea, He Lingchuan placed a soundproof barrier: "Did your trip back go smoothly?"
"It went incredibly smoothly. As expected, everything would be easy as long as you're not around." Dong Rui slumped in his chair. "When I found Xiao An, she was still staying at the merchant's house, and the two girls were having a blast. The merchant's wife rushed out to stop me from taking her away, and it was Lieutenant Li who came forward to act as a guarantor."
"Is Xiao An willing to go with you?" The difficulty of this task lies in Xiao An herself, not in others. Those demon puppet masters had tried to force her before, but the consequences were not good. "You don't look like a good person either."
Dong Rui touched his face, and thought, “I only used one sentence to coax the child away.”
Lingguang was still supportive: "What did you say?"
"I'll take you home."
"She believed it?" He Lingchuan was slightly surprised. "Is it that simple? Why didn't the group of people chasing her use this method?"
Xiao An's memory is confused, but she always remembers that she is from Xingyun Village.
A small village that was massacred by bandits twenty years ago.
"She has long since stopped trusting those people, and I really took her to Xingyun Village," Dong Rui said seriously, "As soon as she saw the ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village, she recognized it."
"Then?"
"She searched the whole village for her family, but of course she couldn't find them, and she cried her heart out." Dong Rui laughed, "I thought she would turn into Tong Bin, so I asked Lieutenant Li to clear out the entire village in advance, temporarily send the villagers out, and set up a battle formation so that the Black Armor Army would be ready."
After the murders at Chenjiazhuang and Lvyi Villa, he judged that Xiao An was Tong Biao, but it seemed that this little girl would only change back to her original form when she lost control of her emotions.
"She hasn't changed?" He Lingchuan still had a deep impression of the white monster.
"No, she was tired of crying so she curled up under the apricot tree and fell asleep. She never deformed." Dong Rui took out an apricot branch and placed it on the table. "The next morning, she woke up and told me that the white monster that had been chasing her was gone."
"White monster? Tong Xuan?"
"Most likely." Dong Rui snorted, "She felt that the white monster was chasing her all the time. Maybe her memory was distorted. I also found this sign when I transformed other demon puppets."
Ling Guang was surprised: "But many of her memories are real, such as Xingyun Village. How can she have the memories of a little girl and be a monster Tong Biao?"
"This is the masterpiece of the demon puppet master." Dong Rui grabbed a few more sugar beans to eat. He had to hurry all the way back to replenish his energy. "Not only did he transform the body, he even tampered with the soul, stuffing the little girl's soul into Tong Xuan's head."
"To be able to do this, it's really..." He gave a thumbs up, "This!"
"Xiao Ankou's 'father' should be the one who transformed her. This transformation was a bit twisted, leaving sequelae in both her soul and body, so her mental state is very unstable. But this little girl's soul is particularly strong, so she can suppress this disorder."
"Is the soul powerful?" The soul is extremely difficult to cultivate. Even for the immortal cultivators in ancient times, refining the soul was a difficult point.
"It's a natural gift from God."
"Yes." He Lingchuan knew that there were very few people who were born with extremely powerful souls. This was one of the hard conditions for the gods to find a body to descend into.
He already knew this kind of person.
"Have you figured out anything? For example, why did those people create 'Xiao An'?"
"Hey, it's no use just asking that little girl, her memory is still confused. I asked her to take me to find my father's residence, but she couldn't find it." Otherwise, Dong Rui would have led the Black Armored Army to dig rabbit holes. "But I found one thing, this Tongxun has only two forms: the original form, or Xiao An. It can't change into any other form."
Tong Xuan is a shapeshifter who has the natural ability to transform into other humans or animals.
Xiao An's talent was forcibly suppressed, which was very abnormal.
He Lingchuan stroked his chin: "It seems that those demon puppet masters are trying hard to keep it in the appearance of 'Xiao An'. Why?"
"The point is..." Dong Rui coughed lightly, "Most demon puppets are very unstable, and Xiao An is no exception. Her body was originally going to collapse within three months. I judged that her 'father' tried many times but was unable to do anything, because Xiao An had signs of multiple transformations on her body, and she also took some drugs to help her stabilize her body."
Lingguang was shocked: "She can only live for three months? No, more than two months have passed. So she only has less than a month left to live?"
“No, no.” Dong Rui raised his index finger and shook it, looking very proud. “It won’t be that easy with me here. I have helped her stabilize. Although it took a lot of effort and I still have to maintain her carefully in the future, she will not die within a year at least.”
Ling Guang asked curiously, "How did you do that?"
The instability of the work has always been a thorny problem for puppeteers.
"Do you remember the secret method Zhu Erniang contributed?" Otherwise, the ghost ape would have died long ago. "And the little treasure in my backpack is always on the verge of collapse. I have been refining it and naturally gained experience. Xiao An's situation is only a little more difficult than other demon puppets. How can it be difficult for me?"
