Chapter 248 Beginning and End (11)
Chapter 248 Beginning and End (11)
After studying the first generation of Konggu puppets, Ling Yiyan quickly produced the second generation of Konggu puppets.
This time, he found a seriously ill woman.
This woman was a maid who had served him since he was a child. Later, the maid saved enough money, redeemed herself, and left here.
The maid's name is Qingqing. Her long-cherished wish has always been to redeem herself, return to her hometown, get married, and spend the rest of her life there.
But after she returned, she found that both her parents had been killed by the village bullies, and even her home had been taken away by the bullies.
Even she was forced to succumb to the bully's tyranny and became his tenth concubine.
Later, she contracted syphilis and was seriously ill in bed. The bully left because he couldn't stand her odor.
Qingqing used her last bit of silver to ask someone from the same village to write a letter for her, and then delivered the letter to Ling Yiyan.
Fortunately, the letter was delivered to Ling Yiyan.
So Ling Yiyan brought the Konggu Puppet to Qingqing's village.
Found Qingqing before she died.
When the bullies learned of Ling Yiyan's arrival, they began to think of robbing him.
He brought his men to Qingqing's residence, and just as he said a few threatening words, they were all killed by Ling Yiyan.
Then Ling Yiyan used a secret method to use the souls of these bullies to nourish Qingqing's soul, allowing Qingqing to successfully reside in the body of the second-generation Konggu puppet.
But the existence of blood will eventually have an impact on Qingqing's soul.
That fragment of the soul also attached itself to Qingqing's soul, and just like before, it absorbed nutrients and grew.
Ling Yiyan discovered that Qingqing's soul was filled with blood, so he placed a seal on the Konggu puppet to ensure that Qingqing would not be affected by the blood.
But this seal actually became a protective umbrella for that fragment of soul, perfectly concealing its information.
When Qingqing fell asleep, the fragment of soul took control of Qingqing's body.
When the remaining bullies found out that Qingqing was not dead and had become young again, they became horny and tied up Qingqing's body.
The split soul chose to return the body rights to Qingqing because what it needed was the strong resentment.
When Qingqing woke up, she found herself being humiliated again and she collapsed.
She watched helplessly as her body was torn into pieces, and she was trapped in the same place, unable to move. Under the guidance of the split soul, Qingqing became resentful and turned into a fierce ghost, killing everyone in the village and devouring other souls to strengthen her own power.
That wisp of soul induced the insane Qingqing to focus all her hatred on Ling Yiyan.
On the way Qingqing went to seek revenge on Ling Yiyan, she was subdued by a group of powerful alchemists and sent to the place where the puppeteer's family was located.
Through the puppeteer family's unique method of checking the memories of evil spirits, Ling Yiyan knew that the evil spirit was Qingqing.
Ling Yiyan was very curious why Qingqing suddenly went to find those bullies, but Qingqing, who had turned into a ghost, could not answer any of his questions, so Ling Yiyan had to give up.
This time, Ling Yiyan heard Ling Ye's voice again.
Ling also said that it was because the second generation of Konggu puppets was incomplete, which allowed other wandering ghosts to enter the Konggu puppets, which caused Qingqing to become what she is now.
Ling Yiyan did not doubt the truth of these words. He devoted all his energy to improving the Konggu puppet.
The third generation of Konggu puppets took up most of Ling Yiyan's efforts. He used the best materials on the Konggu puppets, wanting to make a perfect Konggu puppet.
Moreover, the third-generation Konggu puppet can use internal force like a real person, so Ling Yiyan put some of his internal force into it.
While developing the third generation of Konggu puppets, his movements became suspicious, prompting the clan elders to notice something was amiss. After investigation, the elders discovered what he had done. After a vote by the other elders, Ling Yiyan was imprisoned in a cell beneath the clan ancestral hall.
Because of this, he escaped disaster.
Because of the incident with the Konggu puppet, the elders of the tribe split into two factions with different opinions, which eventually turned into a confrontation between the two parties.
In addition, the dynasty at that time had always been wary of the existence of the Puppet Master family, so these two factors accelerated the demise of the Puppet Master family.
Ling Yiyan in the cell was completely unaware of the situation. He only realized something was wrong when he found that no one brought him food.
Three days passed without anyone bringing him food. Ling Yiyan had no choice but to catch rats in the cell to fill his stomach. Two days later, just when Ling Yiyan thought he was starving to death, a man appeared before him and rescued him.
The man said his name was Ling Ye. But Ling Yiyan, who had seen the portrait of the founder, knew that the man was lying.
The fake Ling also said that he was able to return to the human world by using the third-generation Konggu puppet made by Ling Yiyan.
In return, the fake Ling came to save Ling Yiyan.
After that, the two of them traveled together for a while, and Ling Yiyan saw that the fake Ling Ye had a cruel nature.
Fake Lingye is indifferent to life and feeds on human blood.
Ling Yiyan wanted to find an opportunity to kill the fake Ling Ye, but the fake Ling Ye noticed his intention in advance and tied Ling Ye up. However, the fake Ling Ye did not kill Ling Yiyan, but took him back to the place where the puppet master family was destroyed.
The fake Ling Ye said that this was the place where he was reborn, so he wanted Ling Ye to become like him.
Ling Yiyan knew that he couldn't resist the fake Ling Ye, but he also didn't want to let the fake Ling Ye turn him into a puppet in the empty valley.
But he had no choice.
His body was re-refined by Jia Ling, just like refining a puppet in a hollow valley.
Fake Ling also seemed very happy and told Ling Yiyan everything.
He said that he was the powerful evil spirit.
When he saw that the puppeteer family could make puppets, and when he saw that Ling also wanted to make Konggu puppets, he secretly learned from them.
After that, he has been lying in wait, waiting for the opportunity.
So the voice that Ling Yiyan heard in the library was the fake Ling Ye's disguise.
He guided Ling Yiyan step by step to discover the existence of the Konggu Puppet, and finally perfected the Konggu Puppet.
The Konggu puppet that Ling Yiyan lives in was made by the fake Ling Ye, who fused his human body and placed his spine into the Konggu puppet's body.
The fake Ling also gave himself a new name, Ling Xiaosu.
Then Ling Xiaosu let Ling Yiyan go.
Ling Yiyan didn't know why Ling Xiaosu let him go. He only knew that he was no longer the same person he used to be.
When he left, he took away a puppeteer's manual.
