The woman now feels like she's been tricked.
I clearly have these skills, yet I insist on sending myself to my death!
"Brother, why didn't you take it out just now!"
The older woman seemed a bit resentful, just like a complaining young woman.
I understand; the old lady almost risked her life and fortune just now.
If I hadn't absorbed those puppets at the end, the old lady might have died.
Anyone would complain if this happened to them, I totally understand!
I said to the older woman, "Do you believe me if I didn't think of that just now?"
The older woman just rolled her eyes and leaned against me.
I was almost exhausted from that last push.
Actually, I also noticed that the old lady's strength was much greater than I had imagined. For example, there were several puppets in the old lady's room before.
So I always felt that the older woman had some connection with these puppets.
From the very beginning, I harbored some suspicions about this fickle woman; I knew she was definitely not as simple as I had imagined.
That is indeed the case.
"Huahua, how are the puppets inside?"
I tapped the bronze mirror, and the female ghost poked her head out.
"These few wooden blocks of a master have been obediently still since they came in."
This must be their family's secret technique!
In addition to using magical artifacts to draw spirits into their bodies, this family can also control puppets!
I have many books here about controlling puppets! Please accept them, Master!
Now the female ghost and I are getting more and more in sync. It's as if she knows what I want, and she just throws two books at me.
The first book is about how to control puppets, and the second book describes the weaknesses of puppets and the specific methods of their creation.
I opened the book and looked at its contents as if I had found a treasure.
It should be noted that controlling puppets is a closely guarded secret within the Xuanmen sect, and even Liu Sandao does not possess this ability.
Both books are very detailed, especially the second one, which tells me directly how to make puppets.
However, I don't have that much time right now. My immediate priority is to find out what else is here.
After the puppet was taken away, the road that was blocking it was cleared. I first gave the fat man a quick bandage.
Because of the fat man's special physical condition, although he was stabbed through, he bled very little, and the wound is now gradually healing.
After the bandaging was done, he looked no different from a normal person.
I led the way with a map in hand, and just as the map showed, this network of roads was extensive and could reach almost any place in the county.
"What a grand gesture! They've connected the entire county like a network."
In wartime, if there are many soldiers below, a surprise attack is entirely possible!
I sighed sincerely.
This is the first time I've seen something like this. The key point is that, judging from the current situation, there are more than just these seventeen similar puppets.
At each key point, there is a thing that looks like a handprint.
You have to leave your fingerprint to open the door, otherwise there will be problems. Luckily, I have an older woman here.
Otherwise, the three of us really wouldn't have been able to go very far.
Just then, the door opened, and a familiar person appeared—Old Dao!
"Brother Chen, what are you doing here!"
Old Dao was completely dumbfounded when he saw me!
"No way! Old Dao, I'm the one who wanted to ask you that, what the hell are you doing here?!"
I'm even more confused than Lao Dao!
Isn't Lao Dao at the guesthouse?
Moreover, it takes several hours to drive from here to the guesthouse.
The problem is that there's no location for the guesthouse on the map at all.
Old Dao moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then glanced at the fat man next to him, probably wary of him.
I quickly assured him that Xiao He was one of us and that he could speak freely without worry.
"I was getting bored in my room, so I went down to the cellar to take a look! And then I just kept walking and ended up here!"
Old Dao scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Something just doesn't feel right.
"By the way! Lao Dao, did you see any stone gates or anything like that on the way?"
I suddenly asked.
"Yes, Brother Chen, of course I have one. When I passed by, I went through at least two doors, and there was a handprint on one of them."
I pushed it for ages but couldn't budge it, then I put my hand on it and it opened!
Old Dao spoke casually.
The fat man, the middle-aged woman, and I all had strange expressions on our faces.
So it turns out Lao Dao is actually related to this family?
"What's wrong, Brother Chen? Did I not wash my face today?"
Seeing my expression, Lao Dao asked curiously.
I briefly explained the situation to Lao Dao, and Lao Dao's expression became somewhat unnatural.
"Brother Chen, do you mean I was originally a member of this family?"
Then one of them betrayed my family, and the other simply usurped their place?
Old Dao's mind is a bit of a mess right now, and he doesn't know what to say.
"No, no! I'm just an orphan! How did I suddenly become a member of a powerful Xuanmen family? And how did I come to have such a deep-seated blood feud?"
Old Dao is completely dumbfounded.
"I should have known better. No wonder Fatty said you were special!"
After calming down, I thought about it carefully.
No wonder Fatty Sister had that expression when she first met Lao Dao.
It's because Fatty already knew Lao Dao's identity when she first met us.
"Brother Chen! I'm completely numb!"
"Don't even mention you being numb, I'm numb myself! Even online novel authors wouldn't dare to write something with this kind of mind-blowing plot!"
