There was no high-level magic formation as imagined at the entrance to the valley or in the valley, so the little guy didn't move out.
But what surprised Zheng Chen was that not long after he entered the valley, he met several monks one after another.
For this reason, Zheng Chen couldn't help but asked the dark demon envoy beside him with some annoyance: "Didn't you say that Elder Keqing only has him and one of his disciples in the valley? Why are there so many monks here now?"
Before the Dark Demon envoy could explain, Zheng Xiner had already spoken. She reminded: "These monks are different from other monks. Their eyes are empty, wandering, and they look dull and absent-minded. They are not like normal monks.
"
After hearing this, Zheng Chen ignored the Dark Demon envoy who wanted to explain aloud, and carefully observed the monks.
After a long while, Zheng Chen said in surprise: "These are actually humanoid puppets?"
Even the Dark Demon envoy beside him looked in disbelief. After all, it was his first time entering this valley.
"They are indeed humanoid puppets, and they are unconscious. They must have been controlled by the elder Ke Qing using secret techniques. Moreover, these puppets are made of a special material. At first glance, they look like ordinary human monks.
No two, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is a big problem, they lack the fluctuation of life force, just like those undead creatures." Zheng Xiner nodded and explained.
"No wonder Elder Keqing likes to collect souls, especially the souls of talented monks. They were originally used to refine puppets. But as far as I know, ordinary puppets do not need to have independent soul consciousness, so that they can be easily manipulated.
This elder Keqing's method of refining puppets seems to be somewhat unique." Zheng Chen said with a frown.
"Well, refining an ordinary puppet is like refining a magic weapon. The monks only need to leave a soul imprint in the puppet, and then it can be controlled through the puppet secret technique. Moreover, the monks are also very afraid of their own...
The puppet has developed an independent consciousness, making it difficult to control, and may even backfire on its owner." Zheng Xiner still nodded and explained that Yuwen Tiangang seemed to have left behind some techniques for refining puppets.
"The souls of my parents are probably sealed on a certain puppet." Zheng Chen seemed to be talking to himself. Thinking of this possibility, Zheng Chen couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. The souls of his parents were actually used to refine the puppet. As a
Son of man, he cannot accept this reality no matter what.
Moreover, in the world of cultivation, randomly collecting the souls of monks is a matter of anger between humans and gods, let alone using it to refine puppets. However, people of the demonic path, especially masters of the demonic path, generally do not
This is taboo.
"Why don't you accept a puppet and study it first?" Zheng Xiner suggested.
Zheng Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He also wanted to find out how many memories of his life were left in the souls of these puppets.
There are many puppets in the valley, and not all of them are in human form. There are many other puppets in the shape of wolves, tigers, lions, etc., but regardless of their strength, they all contain souls.
After searching in the valley, the Immortal Mansion took in a wolf-shaped puppet with only the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, and then conducted some research.
Although the puppet tried its best to resist, facing Zheng Chen and Zheng Xiner, there was no room for resistance. It was subdued in an instant and became the subject of research.
After a full hour passed, Zheng Chen had dismantled the wolf-shaped puppet again and again, but could not figure out the secret of refining this kind of puppet. After all, he had just come into contact with the art of puppet.
However, Zheng Chen and Zheng Xiner did not gain anything at all. They could at least confirm two points.
First, although the souls in the puppets have been sealed, they can continue to grow, but they have been demonized. Even if they grow stronger, they no longer have the same character as before.
Secondly, the soul memories in the puppets have been almost completely erased. Even if there are some scattered bits left, they are all insignificant things.
Although these puppets have souls, they seem to be able to only perform some conditioned reflex attacks or defenses. Although they are not controlled by their masters, their intelligence is not as good as that of a three-year-old child, at least this is the case for this wolf-shaped puppet in the Nascent Soul stage.
.
However, these discoveries made Zheng Chen feel troubled. The souls of all the puppets had been demonized, lost their nature, and lost their memories. In this case, how could he find the souls of his parents? After all, in addition to the strength and weakness of the souls here,
Other than that, there are almost no other differences.
Of course, if Zheng Chen could collect all these puppets and study them carefully one by one, he would be able to find the souls of his parents. However, the elder Keqing, whose strength is not weaker than the elder of the Transformed Demon Sect, is extremely unlucky.
I am willing to let Zheng Chen do this.
Moreover, it is not certain whether the souls of his parents were used to refine the puppets.
Thinking of this, Zheng Chen couldn't help but take out his parents' soul jade tablets, put them in his hands, stared at them again and again, his face became uncertain.
While Zheng Chen was thinking about it, the Immortal Mansion continued to wander in the valley. Just an hour later, Zheng Xiner suddenly said to Zheng Chen: "Look, there is a living person there."
Zheng Chen immediately came back to his senses, followed the direction of Zheng Xiner's finger, and saw a human monk in the round mirror.
The human monk had a stern face and was probably over 1.9 meters tall. He looked very tall, but he had a good-looking face. At this time, he was walking somewhere, looking like he was in a hurry.
"Is this person the disciple of the elder Ke Qing?" Zheng Chen asked the Dark Demon envoy.
"Well, yes, I have seen him." The Dark Demon envoy nodded and replied.
"What kind of cultivation is he?" Zheng Chen asked Zheng Xiner.
"The peak of the middle stage of the Immortal Master." Zheng Xiner replied.
"I remember that when he had the decisive battle with my parents, he should only have cultivated at the Immortal Master Stage. Now, just over twenty years have passed, and he has reached the peak of the Immortal Master Stage. This speed is not too slow." Zheng Chen
Speak calmly.
Hearing this, the Dark Demon envoy couldn't help but look at Zheng Chen with a complicated expression, but cursed in his heart: "Only you can judge this speed so calmly. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would be very surprised. Second
More than ten years is really too short for us."
Zheng Chen, who is only less than thirty years old, has achieved his current level of cultivation. In terms of speed, he is almost a pervert among perverts. Most people cannot compare with him in this aspect.
Just as Zheng Chen and the other three were talking in the Immortal Mansion, the Immortal Mansion had already chased the tall and handsome monk all the way to a wall.
Then, the handsome monk waved his hand and cast a series of seals on the wall, and the wall cast a forbidden light, drawing the tall and handsome monk into the stone wall.
Neither the forbidden light curtain nor the handsome monk noticed it, and an almost undetectable particle of dust was also sucked into it.
Behind the stone wall is a cave, which is quite large and has several suites.
There was no one in the hall. The handsome monk walked to a suite door with familiarity and gently opened the door.
