Chapter 18 18. The leather master is not inferior to the talisman master Calabash Valley. A wolf whose mind had been invaded by ghosts had its eyes red, and it was tearing at fresh flesh crazily. You tore off a piece of thigh, and I took away a human head. Red blood spattered and was stained with loess. The nose, eyes, and ears on the head and face were soon covered in flesh and blood, with pits and pits, and the bones were exposed, making it difficult to see clearly. These people were "qualified disciples" in the leatherworking room before yesterday, and they had a vaguely higher status. However, they just failed a test and became the prey of the evil wolf. Evil beasts are different from evil beasts. Evil beasts are ordinary beasts invaded by ghosts. However, the monsters entered the realm just like the monks. This place seems to be quite close to the core of the evil spirit, so even though it has not yet reached night, there is a faint blush floating on the ground. These are the reasons for the formation of the evil wolf. At this time, even though other handymen had died tragically, Xu Changjun was safe and sound. Although he could not fly with his sword, the ten veins in his body were filled with profound energy. When he ran, even evil beasts could not catch up, so he did not panic.
“I didn’t expect that I would be forced to carry out such a dangerous mission just to hide my strength. What bad luck. However, this mission clearly requires me to die. Forget it, the mission is considered a failure. Let’s return to Jianmen first and report the situation here to the master. " Xu Changjun was very calm. He turned around, turned around, and headed in another direction, but before he had gone far, he suddenly felt the sky turn dark. Xu Changjun hurriedly raised his head, only to see a giant shadow elephant rising up when it saw the wind. In an instant, it fell from the sky several feet away. The elephant's hoof stepped on him and hit him hard. Unimaginably exaggerated and strange power came from the hooves of the giant shadow puppet elephant. ‘Who? How is that possible? ! ! ’ A look of fear flashed in Xu Changjun's pupils. He felt that the profound energy all over his body was crushed and crushed, and his flesh and blood were torn apart. In almost an instant, he lost consciousness. Bang! ! The broken flesh and blood body crashed into the loess of the valley, and was shallowly submerged in the red and cracked ground. The middle-aged man in white robe fell from the sky and landed beside the giant shadow puppet elephant. This is none other than the peak master of Nanzhu Peak - Cheng Danqing. But at this time, Cheng Danqing's expression was very strange. Far from the feeling of being a teacher at the top of the mountain, it looked unspeakably weird and gloomy. If Zhang Yin were here, he would find that the master at this time is so strange. With a thought in Cheng Danqing's mind, the giant shadow elephant rolled up Xu Changjun's body and sent it to the place deep in the gourd mouth where the evil atmosphere was even stronger. There are also many ghosts hiding in the shadows along the way.
However, none of those ghosts attacked Cheng Danqing. "Junior Sister Qi, Junior Brother Song, in short, I have two tasks at Nanzhu Peak now. One is to follow the arrangement of senior brother and go to Qingxi Market, northwest of my Puppet Sect, to purchase monster skins. Qingxi Market is not the boundary of my puppet clan, but a market where casual cultivators gather. Only such a market can continuously supply a large amount of monster skins. The other one stayed with me in Nanzhu Peak, making shadow puppets out of monster skins. This task was very boring, no different from the previous handyman job. He had no exposure to the world, and he couldn't get any exercise. Hey, but there has to be someone to do all the work, right? " How do you choose? " After teaching the complete version of "Xuanqi Guidance Technique", Zhang Yin began to divide tasks. Song Yan was speechless in his heart. He just felt that Senior Brother Zhang was too good at acting. He had to hide a job that was obviously safe and criticize it for nothing. If he hadn't heard Wang Susu's words in advance, he might have really hesitated. He secretly glanced at Qi Yao beside him. Qi Nuxia's almond-shaped eyes widened, as if she was also thinking. Song Yan actually discovered that Qi Yao was abnormal. After all, what kind of handyman would know so much about spiritual practice? Which handyman would use a "coded connection" to get together with his own stove? Which handyman would spend a long time in the leatherworking room feeling sad after his own furnace died tragically? Which disciple of the Demon Sect would be extremely angry after hearing him say "very moist"? Nine times out of ten, Qi Nuxia is a truly good person, and she might just be that "stupid little cannon fodder spy" from Nanwu Jianmen. Song Yan was not disgusted with good people, so she wanted to open her mouth and ask Senior Brother Zhang a question such as "Is it dangerous to go to Qingxi Market?" so that Qi Nuxia could understand "Your infiltration plan has not yet been completed" If you go to a place like a meat grinder, where authenticity is like a meat grinder, and identities are hard to distinguish, can you still come back alive?" He opened his mouth. But not yet had time to say. Qi Yao has already said: "Senior brother, I am going to Qingxi Market to buy monster skins." "good!" Zhang Yin praised, then looked at Song Yan and said, "Junior brother is also going to Qingxi City Square, right?" Song Yan waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, senior brother, I plan to make monster shadow puppets." "It's very boring." Zhang Yin frowned. Song Yan said: "No matter how boring it is, someone has to do it." "You won't get any training if you do this kind of thing." Zhang Yin said earnestly. Song Yandao: "To be honest with you, I really like to do this job from the bottom of my heart. As the saying goes, you love what you do." After saying that, he added: "By the way, senior brother, Qingxi Shifang." Zhang Yin snorted, interrupted him, and said: "That's it for today. You guys will practice and adapt. You will start to perform the mission in three months." After saying that, he drifted away, and the matter was considered a done deal.
There were only two people left in the stone building. Qi Yao turned around and was about to leave. Song Yan said in silence: "Miss Qi, Qingxi City is dangerous." Qi Yao turned her head to look at him and asked: "How do you know?" "Intuition." Song Yan said, and walked outside. When he reached the door, he said: "It should be too late to ask Senior Brother Zhang now." "No need." Qi Yao replied. She was about to pass on the information to the outside, how could she miss such a good opportunity? There are many benefits to becoming a formal disciple of Nanzhu Peak. Monthly fixed contribution points: 10 points. Monthly fixed cultivation pills: 1 small Xuanling Pill. Each successful low-level monster shadow puppet: 10 points. Enjoy the cave on the edge of the Xuanmai remnant. Enjoy the benefits such as "furnace tripod" given by the sect. As the cultivation time gets longer, you can also choose spells to practice, which includes the unique basic secret technique of the Shadow Puppet Sect - the skin control technique. Previously, Song Yan saw a formal disciple riding a two-headed wolf puppet in the leather workshop, going up and down the cliffs, and casually summoning a puppet to pull a cart to carry a corpse. That was the art of leather control. He was not in a hurry, because he knew he should have six years left. Three months passed in a blink of an eye. During this period, in addition to pretending to practice, Song Yan also truly practiced the behavior of "loving what he does" and went to the chores room every day to take animal skins to make shadow puppets. Zhang Yin thought he was just talking, but after seeing Song Yan's "three months as one day" performance, he was really shocked. He had never seen any formal disciple go to the chores room during the "rest period" and do his original job again. Three months later, Zhang Yin even patted Song Yan on the shoulder, and asked in astonishment and affectionately: "Boy, do you really like leather making?" Song Yan said: "This may be my lifelong hobby." Zhang Yin "tsk tsk" for a long time, and said: "Strange, I have seen many disciples who came out of the chores room. Those disciples want to vomit when they see animal skins, but you are different." As he said, he changed the subject and said: "However, leather making is not just a hobby, it also depends on talent. You know those who draw talismans, right? I tell you, real leather making is a more advanced method than drawing talismans. The value of a leather master to the sect is far higher than that of a talisman master. If you not only like it, but also have talent, then my senior brother can recommend one or two for you to try.
If you succeed, it will be an opportunity to go further." Song Yan said solemnly: "Then my junior brother will make animal skins for my senior brother as well?" Zhang Yin was stunned. Song Yan said softly, "Should it be my contribution point or my brother's?" "Oh~~~" Zhang Yin suddenly realized, staring at this extremely talented junior brother with wide eyes, and said, "It's a pity that we met too late! It's a pity that we met too late! Come on, junior brother, let's not talk about anything else, go and make a monster shadow puppet first. Although my senior brother is just a skilled worker, he should be able to teach you something." Song Yan nodded and followed Zhang Yin into a cave where leather was made. Zhang Yin was in front, and he was behind. Zhang Yin's words made him understand the existence of "leather masters". Obviously, in addition to simple leather making, "leather masters" can also make real shadow puppets that can move, kill, and fight. This is a "technical worker". Song Yan was a little tempted.
