Fortunately, the girl didn't lie to him. These puppets were really imprisoned by her mystic arts. At this moment, they were motionless like lifelike sculptures.
Despite this, Liu Ming, who had always been cautious, still observed the surrounding situation along the way. He was afraid that the girl's method would fail and cause these puppets to live.
After half an hour, Liu Ming finally came to a side hall shown on the map.
The 2 doors of the side hall seemed to be unlatched, and a glimmer of light shone through the gap of the door.
As Liu Ming thought about it, he immediately made a gesture with one hand. He wanted to secretly cast a spell to explore the situation inside. At this moment, a woman's faint voice came into his ear.
"Since the Southern Wilderness Puppet Emperor sent you here, why are you still sneaking around? Come in!"
As soon as Liu Ming heard this, his heart suddenly sank. At the same time, his scalp was numb.
"Oh no, did the enchantment fail?" He couldn't help but think so.
Before he could do anything else, there was a sudden whistling sound behind him, mixed with the harsh roar of metal collision.
Liu Ming was shocked. He hurriedly looked back, only to see a gust of wind in the passage behind him. A black sandstorm swept over madly.
Liu Ming's face changed drastically. He couldn't care less about it. A black gas rolled out of his hand and opened the door of the side hall. His figure flashed and hid in the side hall.
At the moment he entered, the gust of wind behind him stopped abruptly and disappeared without a trace. Even the sound of metal collision in it disappeared as if it had never appeared.
"Not good, it's an illusion."
Liu Ming's heart skipped a beat. When he wanted to retreat, the 2 doors behind him were closed tightly.
"Since you are in, can you answer my question now?" In the middle of the side hall, a woman in a green palace dress with ordinary facial features and slightly thick eyebrows was sitting on a wooden chair with her head lowered. When she saw Liu Ming coming in, she immediately raised her head slightly and said faintly.
Liu Ming didn't answer when he heard the words. He just quickly looked around.
This side hall was not very large. Apart from a dozen or so puppets of different heights, there was nothing else in the hall.
According to what the little girl had said earlier, this woman in palace dress was naturally the spiritual puppet.
She didn't seem to be in a good condition. Beneath her wooden chair, a dark green array formation of about ten feet in size could be clearly seen. As the woman spoke, only her lips were slightly parted. Below her neck, she was unable to move at all. It seemed that she had been trapped by a restriction.
In this way, it shouldn't be difficult to kill him.
After thinking quickly, Liu Ming immediately flipped his hand. The Spirit Cleaving Dagger flashed in his hand, and he strode toward the woman.
"I know you're an outsider, and I can even guess what Green Spirit said to you. Originally, when you entered this hall, I also wanted to move here, but this bitch was one step ahead of me. Otherwise, you would have brought my Ice Soul Sword to her. " When the woman in green palace dress saw Liu Ming walking over, she sighed softly and said slowly. There wasn't the slightest panic on her face.
Liu Ming seemed to have not heard the words, and he still walked over step by step with a blank expression.
"That bitch must have told you that she is the split soul of the Southern Wasteland Puppet Emperor, and I'm just a betraying spiritual puppet. But if I tell you that she is actually the spiritual puppet, and I'm the split soul of the Puppet Emperor, what will you choose? "The woman in green palace dress suddenly said with a smile.
As soon as Liu Ming heard this, his pupils shrank, and he finally slowed down his steps.
"That bitch Green Spirit is just the spiritual puppet, and the benefits she can give you are basically negligible. If you can help me get rid of her, when I control the entire cave treasure, I can accept you as my personal disciple, and teach you all the puppet secret techniques that shocked the entire Southern Wasteland. It's even easy for you to advance to the Jin Dan Heavenly State." The woman in green palace dress continued calmly. Although her tone was very calm, her words were full of irresistible temptation.
"Help me advance to the Jin Dan Heavenly State?" Liu Ming finally stopped and said while staring at the woman's face.
"That's right, as long as I can control this cave treasure, it's just a matter of time before I regain my former strength. It's a piece of cake for me to help you improve your realm." The woman in green palace dress said with a flicker in her eyes.
Liu Ming, on the other hand, stood where he was and pondered. After a while, he faintly said,
After a while, he said faintly, "If you can really make a heavy oath, it's not that I can't consider this matter, but before that, I have a condition."
"What condition? Just say it!" The woman in green palace dress asked without hesitation.
"My condition is … your life!"
Liu Ming, who seemed to be hesitating, suddenly shouted and stomped on the ground with one foot. His body shot forward like a crossbow arrow. His movement was so fast that in almost a flash, he suddenly appeared in front of the woman in green palace dress and stabbed her abdomen.
In the face of Liu Ming's violent attack, the woman in the palace dress did not show any surprise. Instead, she suddenly chuckled and spat out the word "fall".
In an instant, the woman's eyes suddenly shone with white light, and there were countless small white runes faintly emerging in them, spinning crazily.
The moment Liu Ming's eyes met the white light of the woman's eyes, his head suddenly became extremely heavy, and his hands and feet instantly became numb and weak.
The dagger that was less than half a foot away from the woman's abdomen suddenly trembled and stopped.
"Oh no, it's an illusion!"
Liu Ming couldn't move his eyes away from the white light in the woman's eyes, but he was shocked in his heart. He immediately desperately mobilized his mental power to resist, trying to wake himself up. His other hand moved, trying to take out the Soul Lock from the Sumeru Ring, trying to use the power of the Soul Lock to resist the illusion.
"Mister has worked so hard to come here. Don't you think it's too tiring? You should have a good rest …" When the woman in the palace dress saw that Liu Ming didn't fall to the ground immediately, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but a gentle voice that seemed to be extremely concerned came out of her mouth.
Liu Ming already felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier. After hearing the voice that seemed to come from far away, his eyes were full of the blurry figure of the woman in the palace dress. A drunkenness gradually surged in his heart, and his palm that was already pressed on the Sumeru Ring couldn't use any spiritual power to take out the Soul Lock.
Liu Ming was shocked. He knew that if this continued, he would really fall into this illusion and couldn't get out. He immediately clenched his teeth and bit the tip of his tongue. When he opened his mouth again, he spat out a cloud of blood mist.
The blood mist just turned and suddenly turned into several bloody runes, and it rolled into Liu Ming's body in a flash.
Liu Ming's perplexed eyes immediately brightened and he let out a loud roar. His hands and feet actually trembled a little.
Seeing this situation, the woman in the green palace dress finally couldn't hide the surprise on her face, but she immediately snorted and said,
"Ordinary people will lose consciousness in an instant when they are hit by my illusion. I didn't expect you to be able to hold on until now with the cultivation of the Crystallization Period. Hmph, you can only hold on for a while. Now, go to sleep!"
As soon as the woman spoke, her eyes suddenly shone with white light.
With a "swoosh", a golden rune was spat out from her mouth, and it was instantly imprinted on Liu Ming's forehead.
Suddenly, a thick layer of golden light wrapped Liu Ming, and his body also trembled slightly.
Liu Ming's entire body trembled. He faintly felt something in his brain shatter, and then his vision went black and he lost consciousness.
But at the moment when the last trace of reason floated away from him, he vaguely smelled a sandalwood scent. It was very strong and very pleasant, and the surroundings were very quiet. There was no sound at all …
…
"Husband, don't scare me. Wake up, wake up!"
In a somewhat old wooden house, a plain-looking woman in plain clothes was sitting at the head of the bed with an anxious look on her face. She gently shook a handsome middle-aged man who was dressed like a scholar lying on the bed.
The man's eyes were closed at the moment, and his cheeks were slightly red. Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead from time to time, soaking the bedding on the edge of the bed.
At this time, a child of seven or eight years old, carrying a wooden basin of cold water, hurriedly stepped over the threshold and entered the house.
"Mom, I got the water. Is father still not awake? Do you want to ask the doctor Hu from the neighboring village to take his pulse? "The boy put the wooden basin on the table, pulled the corner of the woman's clothes, and said softly.
"It's not the first time your father fainted. The last time, doctor Hu also took a look, and he couldn't tell what illness it was. As a result, he woke up after a whole 3 hours. Alas, our family doesn't have any silver to invite doctor Hu. "The woman pursed her somewhat cracked lips and sighed.
Immediately afterward, she stood up and lightly moved a few steps to the table. She picked up the basin of water, and after a moment of hesitation, she picked up the wooden ladle in the basin, scooped up a ladle of water, and splashed it on the man on the bed.
After a "shua" sound, the man suddenly sat up on the bed, opened his eyes, and shook his head.
"Father, you're awake!"
Seeing this, the boy immediately revealed a look of joy. He ran to the head of the bed and hugged one of the man's arms.
The man reached out a hand and touched the boy's head. He then turned his head to look at the woman and said softly, "Lian Xi, did I suddenly faint again?
"Lian Xi, did I suddenly faint again? How long has it been?"
"Feng 'er, go out first. I have something to say to your father. " The woman's eyes were a little red. She looked at the man, and after saying this to the boy, she also came to the head of the bed.
"Yes, Mom." The child nodded his head sensibly. He carried the wooden basin on the table, walked out of the house, and gently closed the door.
"Husband, I know that you study hard every day in order to pass the imperial examinations. But if you study day and night like this, I'm afraid that your body will collapse before you can even pass the imperial examinations." The woman in linen clothes said with a sad face, and there were faint tears in the corner of her eyes.
