"I can't see anything, but are you a human or a ghost?" the skeleton asked rhetorically. Dust, Yuanwen ↘, Learning↓ Net

"Of course it's human, why can you still talk?" asked Shen Lang nervously.

When people ask ghosts questions, Shen Lang always feels a little abnormal, but he is too curious in his heart, he has never encountered such a strange thing.

"Because I'm not an ordinary ghost. Skeleton said.

"Then what are you?" Shen Lang was a little confused.

"I'm supposed to be a puppet, to be exact. The skeleton sighed.

"Puppet?" Shen Lang was even more surprised, and wondered: "Then why are you?"

The skeleton said: "Hmph, boy, seeing that you broke into here, we are also fateful, I will tell you a story." ”

"Please. Shen Lang's eyelids jumped, and he immediately said.

The skeleton told the story.

"More than 2,000 years ago, there was a Realm Martial Cultivator, who accidentally obtained an ancient book on puppetry, and since then he has been out of control and has devoted his life's work to the study of puppetry. ”

But time was short, and after knowing that he could not break through the virtual realm, he was unwilling to sit back and wait for death to come. Although as long as a person has three souls and six spirits that are immortal, he can still be reincarnated after death. But for him, even if he has an afterlife, without the memories and emotions of this life, he will not be himself! In the next life, he may become an extraordinary and useless person. ”

"He spent the rest of his life fifty years researching ways to get Wu Xiu's soul out of his body and attach it to the puppet. To this end, he created countless humanoid puppets and tried countless methods," the skeleton said unhurriedly.

Speaking of this, Shen Lang couldn't help but be a little surprised, the dried corpses on the island were probably also the product of this person's puppetry.

Seeing that the time of death was getting closer and closer, he became more and more anxious in his heart, and finally decided that in order to let his divine soul attach to the puppet, he would not hesitate to give up most of his cultivation. He tried his best to make a tall, handsome, domineering and mighty puppet, trying to make the puppet become his new body. The skeleton sneered.

"Did you succeed in the end?" asked Shen Lang.

"Can I become like this if I succeed?" the skeleton burst into a foul mouth, and the "he" in his mouth was himself.

After calming down for a while, the skeleton shouted, "At the last moment of my death, I used a secret method to try to get out of my body, trying to attach myself to this perfect puppet body. As you can see, the poisonous insects here have already torn the flesh of my puppet clean, leaving only a skeleton. ”

Without waiting for Shen Lang to speak, the skeleton sighed to himself: "Over the years, I have finally figured out a truth. ”

"What's the truth?" asked Shen Lang. ^

"People, after all, it is impossible to go against the sky, and when it is time to die, they will definitely die, no matter what method is used, they cannot escape from death. Unless you can continue to push the limits, you may have a glimmer of hope for immortality. The skeleton sighed.

"You can't move, but you're immortal now. Shen Lang couldn't help but say. In his eyes, the skeleton's actions can already be called miracles.

"You kid is so naïve, I'm not immortal. Lao Tzu has spent countless years here, and his soul is actually weakening day by day, and now he has no more years to live. And as soon as my soul dissipates, it will be a true divine soul that will be destroyed, and I will never be reincarnated again. Skeleton said.

Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, it turned out that he would still die like this.

"Senior, there's something I'm curious about. You said that you are a master of the Transformation Realm, and you were also cultivating in the mundane world two thousand years ago?" Shen Lang couldn't help but ask.

"No, I'm from the Linhai Tianshan Mountains. Skeleton said.

Shen Lang's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the Transformation Realm master couldn't pass through the Kunlun Mountain Enchantment? ”

"Hmph, is it really too long. Thousands of years ago, not to mention the masters of the Transformation Realm, even the Void Realm Martial Cultivators could pass through the enchantment. It may be because the teleportation power of the Kunlun Mountain Enchantment is constantly weakening, and one day, it will be completely closed and no one can cross it. Skeleton said.

Shen Lang was taken aback, it turned out that there was such a thing.

It's no wonder that I heard in Misty Island that the first generation of the Tianji Gate master was a master of the Void Realm, and he may have also come to the world before the Kunlun Mountain Barrier was weakened.

"Boy, what are you cultivating?" the skeleton asked suddenly.

"Late stage of the realm. Shen Lang replied.

The skeleton seemed a little surprised and continued to ask, "How old are you?"

"23 years old. Shen Lang continued to reply.

"What!" At this time, the skeleton was finally shocked, at the age of 23, he had a late stage of cultivation, and this talent made him a little surprised.

"Boy, for the sake of your good behavior, worship me as a teacher immediately. The skeleton said unhurriedly.

"I have a master, and I don't want to worship anymore. Shen Lang shrugged.

"Ahem, I was a master in the late stage of transformation before I was born. Be my apprentice, and I can pass on your wonderful puppetry. The skeleton said immediately.

Shen Lang shook his head: "I'm not interested in puppetry. ”

The skeleton was a little disappointed and sighed: "Okay, since you don't want to, Lao Tzu doesn't force it." In fact, after so many years, I have forgotten all the exercises in martial arts, except for the puppetry. But boy, you're unlucky, the things in my cave have long been emptied by those apprentices who didn't make it when they were alive. ”

Shen Lang pointed to the mirror next to the jade platform and asked, "What is that mirror?"

"This is the Jade Yang Treasure Mirror. Skeleton said.

"What is the use of the Yuyang Treasure Mirror?" Shen Lang asked curiously.

"It's useless. The skeleton said lightly.

Shen Lang was speechless for a moment, it was useless to take such a mysterious name, as if it was very powerful.

"Hmph, useful things have long been snatched away by my waste apprentice, can you still stay here?, but although this treasure mirror is useless, it has a function. The skeleton added.

"What function?" Shen Lang immediately asked.

"This realm can ward off evil spirits and remove filth, and it has a great effect on the restraint of ghosts!" said the skeleton.

Shen Lang scratched his head and asked, "What is a ghost?"

"I don't know what it is. Skeleton said.

Shen Lang was completely speechless.

"Probably, maybe, maybe it's something to do with ghosts? Ghosts are very afraid of this mirror, but ghosts are not the same as ghosts. I picked up this realm in a secret realm, maybe there are other wonderful uses, you can take it back, and you can study it slowly in the future. The skeleton added.

"Okay. Shen Lang was a little disappointed, it seemed that there was no oil and water to fish.

However, this bronze treasure mirror, Shen Lang still put it into his purse.
