Chapter 124: Murder and Wealth
In the middle of the night, a figure quickly shuttled through the space inside the puppet's body, from the small courtyard at the top, all the way silently into the longitudinal room. He first stood against the wall on one side, then cautiously lifted a metal plate from the surface.
—and then what unfolded behind was a small grid that shimmered with a faint glow. In the space inside, there were two spars, one was purple, except for the shape, the rest of the color and texture were similar to the soul stones of the soul control array, and the other was a mixture of colors. In addition, there were several books, a few bottles of elixir, and some silver coins.
It's just that on the outer layer of this small grid, there is a faint purple light film, and the figure first takes a light breath, and then presses it with his hand. And when the light film gradually disappeared, the corners of the figure's lips also evoked a faint smile. He picked up the soul stone and walked to the seat at the core of the soul control array. But just then, a chuckle came from behind him.
"It's late, but your treasure is really good, uncle, and it's not in vain that I've waited for you for so many days—"
The figure shuddered, and a look of disbelief and horror flashed in his eyes. He was just about to turn his head when a dark black sword shadow pierced the space and pierced through his throat and neck.
When the puppet's Gathering Circle began to operate again, the entire chamber regained some light under the glow of those talismans. A corpse was already lying in a pool of blood, and it was beside him. Yue Yu had a complicated expression and withdrew the sword in his hand into the sheath.
"This guy really has bad intentions!"
Ran Li also carried a giant axe at this time and walked down the stairs. He first glanced at the corpse at Yue Yu's feet, and when he saw the soul stone that Qin Yue was still holding tightly before he died, his eyes were suddenly full of murderous intent.
Lin Zhuo, who was following behind Ran Li, was also full of gloom: "Whether this person has murderous intentions towards us or not, it is impossible to know until now." But with just one sleep aid in his food, he already has a way to die!"
"If we really let him control this puppet, we still have a way to live? He didn't attack us first, it's just that you didn't drink that medicinal soup at night, and he was afraid of alarming us!"
Ran Li snorted coldly and put back the giant axe in his hand. "If he dies, he will be cheap! If it were me, he would be chopped alive!"
Yue Yu shook his head slightly when he heard this, when he saved Qin Yue, he was not good-intentioned. Although in my heart, I have always had the idea of sparing this person's life if this guy cooperates. However, since the transformation of the mechanical puppet was roughly completed a few days ago, he began to relax the control of this person and give him convenience everywhere.
- In Yue Yu's time, although there was no direct responsibility, it was inevitable that he would be charged with deliberately inducing a crime.
His gaze swept over the corpse, and Yue Yu paced forward, walking in front of the small grid.
The reason why Qin Yue's surname was left was for these treasures in this small grid. However, at this moment, Yue Yu's eyes were not immediately focused on the precious soul stone under his feet and the Five Elements Spirit Stone that he was extremely interested in. Instead, all his attention was focused on the few extremely inconspicuous talismans engraved in this small grid.
This dark grid was discovered back in time when the puppet was repaired that day. However, this small space of less than three feet made Yue Yu feel helpless for the first time. Not only his analytical ability, but he couldn't see what was going on inside that purple light film. Even the slightest touch will trigger a vibration of the Yuan force.
This is the reason why he left Qin Yue behind, but deliberately connived. If you ignore it and forcibly crack this layer of light film, I am afraid that none of the treasures in it can be saved. Only Qin Yue had the method to open it. And this person, if he is tortured to extract a confession, it may not necessarily be effective.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end of this incident, Yue Yu was uneasy and kind. Of course, Qin Yue was not a good stubble, he was so dedicated when he transformed this puppet, and he repeatedly tested whether he had a fifth-order bone. This guy is afraid that as early as the first day, he has planned to take the puppet for himself.
After a long time, Yue Yu snorted coldly and withdrew his attention. Speaking of these runes, he has also seen them in that "Elementary Rune". However, he never imagined that the combination of these talismans, infused with the power of soul consciousness, would act like a safe.
I thought that if I really learned the art of this array of talisman organs, I would never be able to rely on those few books. If he hadn't seen this secret grid with his own eyes, how long would he have been able to discover the combined effect of these talismans?
According to Qin Yue, in the past tens of thousands of years, although there have been many mechanism masters and array talisman masters, their knowledge has been recorded in books for the benefit of inheritance. However, the most important secret methods have always been passed down from mouth to mouth, and few of them are written down. Even if it is recorded in the book, it will be like the Yue family's secret beast control technique, and it will not be revealed to others easily.
And in the past 20 days, although he has been in his free time, he has been asking Qin Yue for advice at night. However, now it seems that this guy still has a lot of reservations. Far from what he said, he has been hollowed out by himself.
Next, Yue Yu took the soul stone and the five elements spirit stone in his hand respectively. The former was as he expected, Qin Yue had already carved nearly eighty soul power runes in it. Just replace the soul stone in the 'Soul Control Array', and you can freely manipulate this puppet.
He only needed to erase the spiritual imprint that Qin Yue had left in the stone, and then he could use this as a base to build another puppet. It's just that although this prospect is good, when you are a puppet, you also need to consume a lot of soul power. In terms of the strength of his current mental power, it is really not appropriate to be greedy. In addition, he has neither the materials nor the time he has at the moment.
Yue Yu's attention was mainly focused on the Five Elements Spirit Stone in his hand. It's hard to imagine that a stone generated by nature actually has a similar effect to the demon beast Neidan. In his hands, this spirit stone was constantly absorbing all kinds of spiritual power and eliminating it. Just like the demon pill, it seems to be 'breathing' the spirit of heaven and earth. And within it, there are also a large number of spiritual powers of various systems, attached to it - after analyzing the substances that can absorb spiritual power with his analytical ability, Yue Yu smiled bitterly, and after memorizing the information, he put it down again.
——This Five Elements Spirit Stone is indeed extremely magical, but the substances in it, Yue Yu has never seen them so far. This also made him plan to find similar substances and artificially construct spirit stones by himself, but he fell into the vacancy, and even if these substances were found, all kinds of substances in the spirit stones. Faintly forming a special surname of a natural spirit gathering array, it was difficult for him to simulate it by himself.
- However, some of these natural talismans could be borrowed from him a little and added to his Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array to further refine them.
As for the original function of this spirit stone, he couldn't use it for the time being. The soul-absorbing effect of this spirit stone is no less than those demon pills, but compared to his Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array, it is still a few points behind.
"According to Qin Yue, the quality of the Five Elements Spirit Stone that he had broken before could only be regarded as a nine-rank upper rank! On top of this, there were eight high-grade twenty-four orders. But I don't know what those high-grade spirit stones look like?"
Shaking his head, Yue Yu looked at the other treasures in the dark compartment again. Those jewels and the like were directly swept by him. These things, even in this chaotic era, are worth hundreds of millions. However, in his eyes, it was worthless, at most he took back some of the things that were difficult for others to see, and handed them over to Yue Zhang's family to run the family business.
And those few bottles of pills, there are nothing particularly precious, just slightly better quality, plus some less common medicines. It was those books that made Yue Yu's face look happy again!
"The True Solution of the Secret Talisman of the Stars", "The Essence of the River Map", "The Treasures of the Mountains and Seas", "The Secret of the Puppet" - the value of each of them is better than before. And the most surprising thing for him was the book "Yan's Mechanism Technique Detailed Explanation". It's a pity that the second volume of this book, within this dark grid, is nowhere to be seen.
However, in these books, in addition to the treasures of the mountains and seas that describe the treasures of the rare herbs and spiritual objects in various places, the others, including the detailed explanation of the mechanism, are still too profound and mysterious for him at present. Many of them are unknown, and some materials are also unheard of, and it is estimated that Qin Yue himself is the same, otherwise, he would not have placed them in this dark grid.
- Although the rune array in this dark grid is good, it is too cumbersome to use. Every time he took the things inside, he needed to consume a lot of soul power, and if it weren't for that, then Qin Yue wouldn't have let him sneak behind him without noticing.
The last is the disposal of the corpse, according to Ran Li's idea, it is simply thrown into the wild. However, after Yue Yu thought about it, he still made a coffin, and then found a place with a better scenery to bury it.
Yue Yu didn't do this to ask for peace of mind, no matter what the idea of this person was in his heart, but it was really helpful to him these days. Therefore, I couldn't bear each other in my heart, and after death, I was just eaten by beasts.
- In fact, if he hadn't been in a crisis, he wouldn't have resorted to such drastic measures. However, since I have done it beforehand, I will never regret it.
And in the next two days, the last step of the transformation of the puppet was finally completed with the help of Ran Li and Lin Zhuo. And on the third day after that, the third year of junior high school released by Yue Yu also brought back the latest news from Cangzui Mountain. After recuperating for more than twenty days, the lion and crocodile came out of the mountain again
