Chapter 173 The Trap I can’t see through

On Yuesen Continent, puppet masters are a very rare way of practicing.

It is said that the earliest puppet technique was introduced from the Minlan Continent in the middle. Later, there were scattered cultivators on the Yuesen Continent. However, practicing puppet technique has not improved for personal cultivation. Therefore, many people only regard puppet technique as an auxiliary combat method similar to weapon refining techniques. No one specifically set up a school to study this technology.

This is the first time that the Chen family monks have seen someone manipulate puppets.

When the two puppet cows were placed on the ground, they were only the size of a palm, and looked like an elegant ornament on a literati's desk. However, as the clouds chanted the spell and activated the magic tricks, the two puppets quickly grew bigger like inflatable dolls.

After a while, these two puppet cows became as tall as elephants. Immediately afterwards, with Yun Duo waved his hand, the two puppet cows rushed towards the Chen family vegetable garden with rumbling steps... What Yun Duo wanted to do, he could guess.

Grandma Chen and Grandma Chen could not stop it. Grandma Chen wanted to turn her head and look around when she heard the movement behind her. Chen Feng waved his hand, and a monk named Chen next to him immediately pressed Grandma Chen's shoulder.

Grandma Chen, a mortal, could not resist the ability of an immortal.

Chen Feng immediately signaled his companion and walked away with Grandma Chen to avoid any trouble. While following Yun Duo's footsteps, he reminded his companion in a light statement: "It is better to demolish a house than to demolish a person. Yun Zhenren is full of anger now, so he always has to give them a chance to vent his anger. Madam Chen, you have given the arsenic. Now people don't ask about this, so please be more at ease."

Yun Duo walked very quickly, and the Chen Family Vegetable Garden was not far apart. In the case of the immortal magic, just a few steps, Yun Duo was already standing at the entrance of the Yun Family Courtyard. He turned his head and looked back at the Chen Family Courtyard. At this time, the Chen Family Courtyard was dusty, and two puppet bulls rushed there. Wherever he went, the house collapsed, causing a lot of noise.

This is not the end. Yun Duo was not willing to give up, so he took out a gourd from his body and carefully unscrewed the gourd's mouth. A wisp of golden smoke and dust emerged from the gourd, and waited until it flew away from the gourd's mouth. The smoke and dust gradually changed, and several ants the size of thumb appeared. These ants had two pairs of wings, with translucent wings and flapping very fast, so that people only saw the golden light dancing by the ants, and could not see the specific shape of the wings.

Chen Feng quickly searched for the name of this thing in his mind, and suddenly remembered something similar. He was startled and blurted out: "Bold-eating ant?"

Yun Duo gave a thumbs up and praised: "Yes, you are very sensible. This is the ninth-ranked gold-eating ant among the top ten ferocious beasts."

After saying that, Yun Duo whispered in a low voice and said something that no one could understand. A gold-eating ant in the air flapped its wings. With a buzzing sound, he led the other gold-eating ants to fly to the Chen family's courtyard.

Chen Feng whispered to himself: "I have only heard of the name of the gold-eating ant before. I have seen the portrait of the gold-eating ant on the picture of the beasts, but... this is the first time I saw the gold-eating ant. I heard that the gold-eating ant is extremely cruel and I especially like the Lord of Devouring. Rumors, the last monk who fiddled with the gold-eating ant was from more than two hundred years ago..."

Chen Feng swallowed the name of the last owner of the gold-eating ants because he thought of another important question. Legend has it that the gold-eating ants will swallow everything. Wherever the gold-eating ants have been, the minerals in the soil will be consumed, and then the land will...no grass will grow.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to pick up feces excreted by the gold-eating ants on that land, those feces will be the best refining materials, because these feces are heavy metals that the gold-eating ants cannot digest, and are extremely rare and rare.

However, Chen Feng was just thinking about this last point. Now Yun Duo is the owner of the gold-eating ant. Will he let someone pick up the feces of the gold-eating ant?

Just think about it and know the answer.

"No grass grows, no grass grows wherever the gold-eating ants pass by. Chen's vegetable garden, no matter how many years later..." Chen Feng murmured with this answer, but he only dared to pretend to be muttering to himself. He muttered for a moment, but he did not dare to protest to Yun Duo.

The ancestor, a Jindan monk, was killed mercilessly by this man. He was a concubine who had no autonomy, so he should follow him and listen to his instructions to do things.

Chen Feng also muttered with the spiritual sense among immortals when he said that just now. He did not dare to express the answer in words that mortals could understand. He was afraid that Madam Chen would cause something unending when she heard the answer.

At this time, the Chen family's ancestral home in Shanggu City was already in chaos. Some early-murder Chen monks found that their house could not enter and exit, so they quickly notified the head of the Chen family at that time. The head of the Chen family sounded the alarm bell, gathered the monks to discuss, and continued to try to get out of the ancestral home. At this moment, the old man and the old lady who collected Yexiang entered the gate of the Chen family's ancestral home with the token in hand.

The Chen family has never been a kind person. After the old man and the old lady entered the door, she felt trembling in her heart. The monks of the Chen family saw the old couple's tokens emitting a faint light, and the clouds and mists were dissipated wherever they went. The third son of the Chen family's direct lineage hurriedly reached out and stopped the Chen family's guards from coming forward. He looked up and down at the old couple, feeling that there was no spiritual energy on the other party.

A servant came over and whispered to remind: "Three Master, I recognize this old man and old lady. They are responsible for collecting night fragrance in the city. They have been in this business in Shanggu City for more than 20 years. They have collected all the night fragrance in the mansion."

The third young master stared at the pass token in the old man and the old lady's hand. He asked with a serious expression: "Du, how did the things in your hand come from?"

The old lady was shaking like leaves in the wind. The old man was still conscious. He blocked the old lady behind him and explained the situation in a low voice. Then, he quickly handed over the jade slip to the message: "That immortal, that immortal is right outside the door..."

"Okay," the third young master stopped shouting, stopping the old man's words.

The third young master did not go to receive the jade slips personally. He lit his chin and asked the people around him to take the jade slips for inspection, and then asked: "You mean, you passed by the street and found that my house suddenly turned into a big lake. There were two immortals, a man and a woman, standing in front of the big lake. These immortals asked you to send a jade slip and then gave you a pass token?"

The old man nodded timidly.

The third young master twitched his chin and immediately a person jumped out from next to him, snatching the pass token from the old man and the old lady. After checking the pass token, the man passed the pass token to the third young master again. At this time, the monk who checked the voice transmission jade slip also completed the work and handed the voice transmission jade slip to the third young master, and explained: "It is an ordinary voice transmission jade slip, without any special features."

The third young master took the jade slip and looked at it. He immediately activated his spiritual power to knock on the jade slip. At this time, at the west gate of Shanggu City, the soldiers guarding the gate were curiously passing on the jade slip to each other, marveling at the magic of the immortal magic weapon many people had never touched the magic weapon of the immortals in their lives. Now, this magic weapon can be held in their palms, which is really amazing.

At this moment, the jade slip suddenly made a long cicada sound, and then the voice of the third son of the Chen family appeared: "Who is outside? Please reply when you hear it."

When the sound came out, the jade slip for voice transmission happened to be transmitted to a soldier. The soldier was startled. The jade slip for voice transmission was accidentally dropped on the ground by him. The jade slip jumped on the ground twice and lay quietly in the dust.

The soldiers of Ximen looked at each other and listened to the voice of the third young master from the jade slip. But none of them dared to step forward to pick up the jade slip.

The third young master called several times in a row, but there was no reply. He shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "Strange, the people outside specially sent the jade slip for the transmission, but did not answer my words. They are really... timid."

After saying that, the third young master pointed at the two old couples who collected Ye Xiang: "Detain them. Wait until I go to inform my grandfather."

After walking a few steps, the third young master immediately stopped and added: "Good food and drinks, give them some change, so don't neglect it."

The third young master did not care about the life and death of this mortal couple. But he also knew the temper of the slave, and was worried that if he did not add a command, the slave would torture the old couple. The old couple were all mortals. If the slave accidentally killed them, and he did not fully understand the situation, when his grandfather remembered any missing questions, no one could ask.

The third young master did not forget that the Chen family's house had been closed. Now people cannot enter or exit. The only way to communicate with the outside world is the only voice transmission slip sent by the old couple.

The current clan leader of the Chen clan is named Chen Zhongda. He has a mid-stage cultivation level in the foundation building. He is currently 130 years old. The third son is the great-grandson he values ​​the most. After receiving the notification from the third son, Chen Zhongda closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, opened his eyes and asked, "Is there any new news from the Tianfu Gate?"

The third young master shook his head: "Last night, our people came back from outside the city and immediately went to the Golden Mountain Gate to investigate the news. He heard that the five major sects of the Golden Mountain Gate were holding a meeting behind closed doors. The meeting hall was under high alert and our people could not enter.

According to the people who came back, the people who participated in the discussion were all the heads of the sect and the heads of the sect. Our staff at Tianfu Sect... The rest is not enough, so we enter the meeting hall."

Chen Zhongda closed his eyes and asked again: "Is there any new news coming back this morning?"

The third young master answered quickly: "No, oh, it should be said that since last night, there has been something abnormal in our Chen Mansion. I heard that no one on the night heard the barking of dogs on the street. By the second half of the night, they could not even see the stars in the sky. You know, tonight is the beginning of the moon, and the stars should be particularly bright."

Chen Zhongda immediately asked: "Why didn't anyone report such an important situation last night?"

The third young master shook his head: "It's all caused trouble from the Yun family, and the people in the mansion are in panic. They are talking about where my Chen family should go after the fall of Old Master Chen. Everyone is not at work..."

The third young master lowered his eyes and confessed: "Grandpa Zeng, to be honest, I was also absent-minded last night. Our ancestors have fallen. Is there still a chance for our family to rise?"

Chen Zhongda thought for a while and shook his head silently: "There are more than ten cultivation families in Shanggu City, six of which have the Golden Pill Ancestor. Our ancestor has fallen, so he can only retreat from the first-class family."

Speaking of this, Chen Zhongda sighed and immediately added: "It is still good to be able to retreat from a first-class family. Others may think: Old Master Chen died, but the wealth he accumulated was not taken away, and he was left within the Chen family compound... So, if our family wants to retreat, it may have to pay a considerable price."

Chen Zhongda shook his head and added sadly: "As soon as I heard that the ancestor Chen fell, I immediately suppressed the voice of revenge. Alas, our current enemy is not the Yun family. If we don't do it well, our family will rely on the support of the Yun family if we want to retreat. If Chen Sheng can obtain the understanding of the Yun family, everything will be easy, otherwise, Chen Sheng will not be careless even if he dies."

The corners of the third young master's mouth were tilted. He wanted to remind Grandpa Zeng that the spirit stones Chen Sheng cheated from Sister Yun, and the Chen family also spent a large part of them, but... people always do shameless things on their own hands, but they are afraid that others will point out their shamelessness. Therefore, the third young master turned those reminders in his mind and immediately changed the topic.

"Grandpa Zeng. You said, the man outside sent a jade slip for the transmission of the voice, what was his intention?"

Chen Zhongda waved his hand: "Have you asked those people who went to the Yun family compound yesterday... No need to verify it. The man and woman outside must be Mr. Yun. I heard that he took over the Tianzhu Formation set up by Zhenren Chao Yue at that time. He was the only one who had the ability in the entire Shanggu City. A large trapping array was set up overnight, trapping my Chen family in the courtyard."

The third young master raised the jade slip in his hand and asked: "This young master Yun set up a large formation and surrounded us in the house, but sent it into this jade slip. What do he want to do?"

Chen Zhongda slapped the armrest of the chair: "What are you worried about? This should be a good thing. I guess Mr. Yun has put in a trap. He will not let my Chen family interfere and take revenge. As for sending the jade slip for voice transmission... Haha, my Chen family has saved it. Mr. Yun wants to reconcile with us, so he sent the jade slip for voice transmission."

The third young master carefully reminded: "I just called out with the jade slip for voice transmission. I didn't get any response."

Chen Zhongda signaled with his eyes, and the third young master raised the jade slip again and shouted: "Who is outside? Please answer if you hear it... Is Mr. Yun here? I am Mr. Chen, the young master of the Chen family's next generation, Mr. Yun, are you here? Mr. Yun, please answer."

At this time, the sound transmission jade slip was still lying in the city gate at the west gate of Shanggu City, but at this time, it was already very bright. A monk passed by the city gate and found that the soldiers guarding the city gate were surrounding a circle. There was a sound transmission jade slip lying on the ground in the circle. The sound transmission jade slip kept making noises. The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do, they had no spiritual energy on their bodies and could not activate the sound transmission jade slip.

The city gate was getting more and more congested. At this time, a monk finally couldn't bear to watch it. He stepped forward and carefully picked up the jade slip for the transmission, input a trace of spiritual energy into the slip, and then responded: "Mr. Chen, I'm..."

Mr. Chen was disdainful to know who the other party was, so he hurriedly asked his most interested question: "Where is this jade slip now? How did you get this jade slip?"

The monk in charge of the answer turned his eyes to the soldiers who were holding the Ximen. The soldiers who took the cloud jade slip came forward and told their experience: "Early early this morning, I just opened the city gate. There was a man and a woman, two monks passing by the Ximen. The handsome man and the charming woman..."

Mr. Chen immediately interrupted the soldier's speech. He described Yun Duo's appearance and then verified: "Is that man so beautiful?"

The soldiers guarding the city nodded frequently, but Mr. Chen San could not see the action of nodding. So the monk who was in charge of answering had to carefully transport spiritual energy and maintain the call of the jade slip while interjecting and explaining: "Mr. Chen San, the soldiers guarding the city nodded just now. The male cultivator really looked like this."

Mr. Chen closed the call, turned his eyes to the patriarch Chen Zhongda, and asked: "Grandpa Zeng, what does this mean?"

Chen Zhongda thought for a while and said to himself: "Why did he leave? Shouldn't he stay outside the mansion and wait for a conversation with us? How could he walk away halfway? He didn't say anything after leaving halfway, but he also threw away the jade slip for the transmission."

After thinking about it, Chen Zhongda ordered: "Ask him, what's going on with the Golden Mountain Gate recently?"

Mr. Chen opened the jade slip again. Before he could speak, he first heard noisy sounds from the jade slip. All the sounds were conveying a message: "...I heard that something happened in the Chen family's ancestral home, and the courtyard disappeared out of thin air, and it turned into a lake wave in place."

"No, no, the city lord's mansion has sent a signal, saying that the lake wave is a magic circle, and once someone enters, they will be trapped inside."

"This news is outdated. Just now, the City Lord's Mansion has sent people to guard against people from approaching the Chen family's old house at will. The City Lord's Mansion has also sent monks to guard nearby. Alas, Golden Mountain Gate..."

Mr. Chen interrupted quickly: "Is there anyone outside? Ah, what did you say just now? What happened to the Golden Mountain Gate this morning?"

The monk who answered just now was responsible for answering: "The specific situation is not clear. At dawn today, the alarm bell suddenly sounded, and the mountain protection formation was opened, and the entire mountain gate was closed. Now, the situation inside the mountain gate cannot be transmitted, and the people in the city were very panicked."

Mr. Chen immediately closed the call, and for a moment, his expression was very dull.

When Mr. Chen turned around and turned to look at his great-grandfather Chen Zhongda, he found that the expression of the patriarch was also very wonderful. He kept murmuring: "A mid-stage foundation-building monk and a mid-stage foundation-building monk, since he could force the Golden Mountain Gate to be closed, is this possible?"

Mr. Chen also felt that this was impossible. He swallowed and said with difficulty: "Maybe it was just a coincidence... Yes, this must be a coincidence. Several heads of the sect are all golden elixirs. How could a junior in the Foundation Establishment Stage jump in front of him..."

Mr. Chen would never know that Yun Duo always limited his enemies to the Nascent Soul class. He was in seclusion in Mingchanyuan for five years and had been under the eyelid disciple of Jinchan Zhenjun, thinking about how to hide his breath and how to move some small hands and feet. Five years of research have now come to fruition, and he has already induced the Pixiu Bead, and there is a little lion dog around him to help him. He concealed one or two Jindan monks who were excited and only quarreled. This is nothing.

After a while, Chen Zhongda came to his senses. He thought about the situation in front of him for a while and ordered: "Send two people out and take back the jade slip for communication. No, don't come back again, just stay outside and contact us..." (To be continued...)
