At the beginning of the lanterns, Ding Yi returned to Xintiandi. Lu Shiji, Jia Shiyuan, and Duoduo were all called over by Ding Yi, and everyone divided their labor and worked together, and after two or three hours, they finally completed the production of the puppet, and the four of them hadn't worked together for a long time.

Lu Shiji and Jia Shiyuan are now high-level managers, and they all manage hundreds or thousands of people under them, and they can earn hundreds of gold yuan every month. However, they didn't lose their skills, and they were able to work with Ding Yi, even if it was for dinner, and when they heard the invitation, several people rushed over without eating.

Among the several people, Ding Yi's skill is the highest, after all, he is a cultivator, and he can use spiritual power to refine the formation mechanism, which is a hundred times the speed of manual operation.

Especially to draw Feng Yu's character, under the action of spiritual power, Ding Yi did it in one go, and it only took a few minutes. Another important factor in the quick completion of this piece was the great assistance of the generic golem.

This general-purpose puppet was designed and developed by Ding Yi and Duoduo with great effort, and later improved and upgraded by Luyuan, and now these general-purpose puppets have become puppeteers, handy helpers, and can engage in complex work required by puppeteers......

Ding Yi's spiritual power is limited, he has long been accustomed to this mode of using both hands and brains, who made him congenitally inferior. But even so, it made Duoduo envious.

Yang Qi teased Xiao Ash, Xiao Ash has long been accustomed to the environment of the production of various organs and equipment in the fairy cave, and cats are always interested in novelties, which is probably one of the reasons why Xiao Ash has a soft spot for Ding Yi. Because Ding Yi can always create something new.

Yang Qi paid careful attention to Xiao Ash, and the many mechanisms and equipment in the fifth workshop made Xiao Ash full of curiosity......

Returning to Zhuyun Xiaoxie again, Ding Yi was a little tired, but he kept himself busy, not thinking about the future, not thinking about the chaos in the southwest, not thinking about the truth meeting, and focusing on puppet making, which made Ding Yi not so painful.

Feng Yu happily accepted the puppet doll given to her by Ding Yi, and smiled.

This is a highly realistic puppet. In the past year, Ding Yi's puppet technique has improved a lot, and this puppet is more complex and advanced than the puppet he gave to Mu Yanran last year.

This puppet, Feng Yu, as a cultivator, can completely use spiritual power to manipulate it. In addition to not being able to speak, her facial expression is relatively simple, almost a miniature version of Feng Yu.

Feng Yu is not satisfied with this puppet, the only thing is the costume on the puppet, but she can solve this problem by herself. Feng Yu happily accepted the gift.

The banquet of Zhuyun Xiaoxie is over, Ding Yi and the others return to Muyuan, and tomorrow is the time to return to Xuanzang Academy. Ding Yi had a strange feeling that he just wanted to stay in school forever and not be disturbed by these worldly conditions again. I just want to quietly engage in the study of puppetry, away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

In the evening, Ding Yi didn't tell Ding Yun about his harmless meeting with Dongfang, he knew his sister too well, he had his own ideas, and Ding Yun also had Ding Yun's insistence.

Xu Manli's family also came to Muyuan, and seeing this family, Ding Yi felt very heavy. Thinking of the catastrophe of 40,000 people in the southwest, Ding Yi was sad and didn't know what to say.

Because of this catastrophe, the Xu family has reached a consensus, and Xu Rong found out that he had to take on the responsibility of the patriarch of the Xu family. The dead are gone, and the living will continue.

The southwest is no longer the homeland, and the sad land has buried the past......

Ding Zhaoding sighed, in Ding Zhaoding's view, the so-called Southwest Rebellion was actually a war between cultivators. The truth will cause a tragedy in Jiyun City, a rebellion in the southwest, and the Empire will massacre 40,000 people......

Looking at this lost and recovered Mu Garden, thinking of the past of the Ding family, Ding Zhaoding was also full of emotion.

Xu Manli and Ding Yi were talking in the Aiwan Pavilion in the garden, which was brought by Xu Manli and Ding Yi. Women tend to be stronger than men in some big things. Compared with Xu Rongfa's frustration, he was disheartened. Xu Manli quickly adjusted her mentality.

Ding Yi originally wanted to comfort her, but seeing that she had cheered up, he didn't know what to say.

"Xiaoyi, do you know, I used to dream of becoming a cultivator, I didn't want to stay at home at all, obviously I was smarter than the third and fifth misses, but I could only be their handmaid, and my mother was so happy to get an old piece of clothes and small jewelry from the young ladies. But I don't like it, I didn't like to wear other people's old clothes since I was a child. At that time, I thought it would be nice if I could wear new clothes every day. Later, once the third lady was bitten by the shovel snake, everyone thought she would die, but was met by a passing cultivator, he used the secret method of cultivating the third lady to revive, that was the first time I saw the cultivator cast a spell, at that time I thought, how good it would be if I were also a cultivator......"

"As I grew older, I saw the outside world, and I also learned about the world of cultivation from the disc, and the world of cultivation made me obsessed, and becoming a cultivator to live a life of cultivation in the world is the ......life of my dreams."

"It's a pity that I'm not a cultivator, and I didn't pass the transcendent sacrifice......"

"Until I came to Jiyun City and met Xiao Yi, I knew that you always thought that I had ulterior motives, and I have always been cold to me, I admit that I did think so at the beginning......"

Ding Yi sighed and said, "Sister Manli, in fact, I am the same person as you, I guess that most people on this continent are actually the same as you and me, and have the dream of becoming a cultivator. It was actually an accident that I became a cultivator. In fact, my qualifications are no different from yours and other people. ”

Xu Manli's eyes widened and she looked at Ding Yi.

Ding Yi casually activated the formation of Aiwan Pavilion, and not far away, Zeng Mao poked his head out to look at it, and then retracted his head.

Ding Yi's face was solemn.

"Sister Manli, this is my story, originally only Ah Zhen knew, and no one in my family knew about it......"

"I just have some talent in learning, I don't know if it's genetics, or what, you look at Sister Yun, Brother Li, and me, the people of our Ding family have a talent for learning. I have a set of associative learning methods, and I can take some units of knowledge and deduce them in my mind through this associative learning method. I can draw inferences from a lot of knowledge and bypass it. ”

"This is also my biggest support for learning puppetry, becoming a puppeteer, originally a person like me, when he grows up, he may become a technician in a puppet workshop, earning dozens of silver dollars a month, and that's it. Very fortuitous relationship, I met Brother Lan Xuan, I bragged to Brother Lan Xuan that he was a puppeteer, in fact, at that time, I had only been in contact with puppet art for a month or two, and I didn't understand anything at all, and then I met Teacher Han Tao, which was considered to have understood puppetry, and then I met Zong Xiao, and at this time I was coerced by the Truth Society, Zong Xiao valued my reaction and overall situation, he found the Creation Pill for me, and the Truth Society also found me the secret medicine of cultivating the truth. Chongguan', under extremely accidental circumstances, it can even be said that I have lost my life, and I have transformed into a cultivator. ”

Xu Manli listened carefully to Ding Yi's story, and when she heard the name Zong Xiao, she frowned.

"This matter was originally only known to Yuan Zhen, and I told you just to tell you that in fact, we are all the same. ”

"Sister Manli, the reality is actually far more cruel than you imagined, the tragedy in Jiyun City, the tragedy in the southwest, this is just something we know now, and there are many disasters that you and I don't know, and those are even more cruel. ”

"What is the essence of cultivation? It is plundering, in order to obtain powerful mana, in order to continue life, for the sake of the perpetuation of future generations, to become a cultivator, to become a human being, a cultivator will do everything. ”

"You may not know why the whole Southwest is in trouble. That's because of a plan, the 'God-making Project'! This experiment, which has a success rate of several thousandths, can be said to have shaken the entire upper echelons, which is the main reason why the empire wields a butcher's knife against the common people in the southwest. ”

"Don't think that only extreme cults such as the Manggu Sect, the Truth Society, and the Witch Cult will do some bloody and inhumane experiments, in fact, the same is true of the Empire, they are all essentially the same. This kind of research is extremely terrifying, and in order to achieve their goals, countless civilians and villagers have been arrested for experiments.

Cultivators are not immortals, they also have seven emotions and six desires, probably because of the cultivation of truth, their desires are stronger than mortals, and their desires can never be satisfied. To them, mortals are just cattle and sheep to raise, you don't expect them to have compassion, cultivate the truth, cultivate the truth, cultivate the truth, these people have long lost the moral bottom line, they only pay attention to Taoism, divinity, but have no humanity!"

"Xiao Yi, do you think we will encounter this situation in the future?" Xu Manli asked a little nervously and timidly.

"Yes, this situation will definitely happen, this is originally a cruel world, today is the southwest cold smoke, maybe tomorrow it will be the southeast cloud city, as long as this pattern is not changed, mortals will always be meat on the chopping board, at the mercy of cultivators, to be taken and taken. ”

Xu Manli didn't expect Ding Yi to answer like this. She shuddered.

"Sister Manli, listen well, every word I say now is very important. Suddenly, Ding Yi said in a low voice.

"I haven't figured out some things before, but now I have some eyebrows, from now on, you are responsible for selecting loyal people, these people must be absolutely loyal, it doesn't matter if the strength is poor, the key is to suffer hardships, suffer crimes, and have the same heart with us. After you select this group of people, arrange for them to find Duoduo, let them produce the latest type of puppets, and at the same time find opportunities to practice and use the puppets well, and I will arm our people. ”

"We are not white rats, when those cultivators want to torture and kill us, we also have a certain strength to resist! Cultivators are actually nothing remarkable, I have fought against many cultivators, they are just talented, and they are better than us ordinary people in some aspects. If the common people are all armed, they will not be able to do it! Remember that this is a major matter that has a bearing on the life and death of all ordinary people, and you must shoulder this responsibility! Moreover, this matter is not trivial, and you must take a good pass, and never let any cultivator know about it. ”

Xu Manli's blood is surging, and her daughter in the southwest has a strong temperament, daring to love and hate. The hatred of exterminating the clan has long made Xu Manli's heart full of hatred for cultivators, but thinking of those cultivators who are turning clouds and rain high and high, Xu Manli can't raise a trace of revenge. Ding Yi's words undoubtedly opened a new door.

This idea is definitely possible!

Before Ding Yi invented the flying cap, Feitian was only the patent of cultivators, and those cultivators who were invulnerable to fire and water were not defeated in front of Ding Yi. As long as enough puppets are produced, it will be an irresistible force.

Xu Manli's eyes lit up, and her long-suppressed mood became much more cheerful. Xintiandi is full of die-hard heroes, and if this kind of thing happens in Jiyun City, at least everyone will have a hard time. If you want your mother to die, you have to break your teeth first.

Xu Manli looked at Ding Yi, the husband she chose, although her face was childish, but she was responsible, and she had the noble character of helping the world and saving people.
