BXBX NOVEL Chapter 280: puppet
There are more than a hundred of them and more than ten cars. First, they have to find a place to live.
Ordinary inns can\'t accommodate so many people. It\'s not easy to find a suitable place when I\'m new here.
This is the first time for them to come to Qianqiao City, and they don\'t know anything, so they can only stay here first, and find out about other things before they talk.
"Junior Pei Jian, thank you for your care! Seniors, please follow me."
After Pei Jian finished speaking, he turned around and led the way.
This qi cultivator named Pei Jian has a dull personality. He only says what Luo Zhongjie asks, and he rarely speaks on his own initiative. He is really not suitable for being a guide.
For a guide like him, the reward for a day is a spirit stone.
In addition, you can also help with running errands, inquiring about news, etc., which need to be charged separately.
He introduced more than ten residences to Luo Zhongjie, and finally chose a relatively large independent courtyard.
Rented this courtyard for a year. When Pei Jian left, Luo Zhongjie gave him two spirit stones so that he could come over tomorrow and continue to be a guide.
Pei Jian got the spirit stone and left excitedly.
Luo Zhongjie learned from Pei Jian that there is a Wantongfang City in Qianqiao City.
This square city is specially set up for the transactions between major shops and caravans. It is not open to individuals, and caravans need to register and review before they can settle in.
On the second day, Wang Hong was not in a hurry to enter Wantongfang City, but first learned about the situation in Qianqiao City, at least to find out the local prices first.
They divided into groups and wandered around Qianqiao City. Sometimes, this kind of wandering can better understand the local customs.
Wang Hong walked alone on the street, and sometimes walked into some shops to have a look.
He found that there are a lot of craft refining shops in Qianqiao City.
Several of these shops were opened by Qianqiao Pavilion, and some were opened by Qianqiao Pavilion\'s refiners themselves. Anyway, most of the refining shops have something to do with Qianqiao Pavilion.
There are very few elixir shops in Qianqiao Pavilion. Wang Hong walked into several elixir shops and looked at them. There were not many spirits in them, but the prices were much higher than those in Qingxu City.
There are plenty of spiritual weapons and magic weapons here, and the price is cheaper than Qingxu City.
Wang Hong also discovered that there are puppets for sale in many shops here.
He also went into several shops that sold puppets to watch, which made him very amazed. There were only a small number of puppets for sale in Qingxu City, and he hadn\'t paid attention to them before.
These puppets have different shapes, some are humanoid, animal-shaped, and insect-shaped.
At this time, he walked into a shop called Qianji Puppet Pavilion, which was a relatively large puppet shop nearby.
As soon as he entered the door, a puppet in the shape of a maid came towards him.
"Hello senior! Welcome!"
Unexpectedly, this puppet can not only move, but also walk freely. What\'s even more amazing is that it can even speak human words!
Wang Hong was amazed in his heart. He didn\'t know how it was made. Although he knew there was such a thing as a puppet before, he had never come into close contact with it.
He carefully observed the puppet in front of him. It was about the same size as a real person, with exquisite facial features, delicate skin, and rosy white.
Wang Hong couldn\'t help poking it lightly with his fingers, the skin felt smooth and elastic, just like a real person.
"Cluck! Officials, please respect yourself!"
Who knew that after being poked by him, the female puppet changed her expression and dodged him while smiling foolishly.
The action of the puppet startled Wang Hong. He wondered if he had poked it, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
"Small tricks, let fellow daoists laugh!"
At this time, a shopkeeper-like cultivator came to Wang Hong and resolved Wang Hong\'s embarrassment in time.
"Your Pavilion is really amazing, but I\'m being rude."
Wang Hong lamented from the bottom of his heart that this puppet technique is so exquisite that it can be done so lifelike that it is no different from a real person.
"This is Chao Ming, the manager of this store. Do fellow daoists need to buy puppets?"
"I have this plan, but I don\'t know much about it, so I want to come in and have a look." Wang Hong said.
"It\'s okay! It\'s okay anyway, I can introduce you to fellow Taoists." Shopkeeper Chao said enthusiastically.
"Then thank you, Fellow Daoist Chao." Wang Hong cupped his hands in thanks.
"The puppet art is actually a kind of refining, but the process is more complicated and cumbersome, so the puppet cost is relatively high.
The power source of the puppet is the spirit stone, you only need to put the spirit stone into it, and replace it again when the spirit power is exhausted.
There are roughly two ways to control puppets. One is to directly control them with spiritual consciousness, just like controlling spiritual weapons.
The other is to directly issue instructions to it, and the puppet can follow the instructions.
According to the form, it can be divided into human form, animal form, insect form and other categories.
According to the function, it can be divided into two categories: combat puppets and life puppets.
Combat puppets include melee and far combat puppets. Life puppets include spiritual plant puppets that can do farm work, and refining puppets that can assist in refining weapons. "
Chao Ming then showed Wang Hong the various puppets in the store.
"Then what kind of puppet is it?"
Wang Hong pointed to the maid-like puppet and asked.
"It took me several years to make this puppet, so it should be considered a maid puppet."
Shopkeeper Chao said quite proudly, and then he smiled mysteriously: "This puppet has infinite uses, and only after buying it back can I slowly discover her benefits."
Wang Hong guessed, is there some secret hidden in this puppet?
Or is Shopkeeper Chao deliberately acting mysterious in order to raise the price?
"I want to see the combat puppet and the spiritual plant puppet. Is it possible?" After hearing his introduction, Wang Hong was more interested in these two kinds.
"Of course no problem, fellow daoist, please come with me.
Look, all the shelves on this shelf are battle puppets. "
Wang Hong followed his instructions and saw that this shelf was filled with puppets of all kinds, in different shapes and sizes.
"Fellow Daoist, look at these melee puppets, they all have the strength of the early stage of Qi training.
There are also these bow puppets, which have reached the strength of the mid-stage Qi training, and these tiger-shaped puppets, which are also the mid-stage Qi training..."
Shopkeeper Chao introduced several types, and Wang Hong showed little interest in them.
walked to the two puppets holding bows, and introduced emphatically:
"Look, fellow daoist, these two puppets are rare puppets in the late stage of Qi training in this shop, and they can shoot targets within fifty feet with a bow."
Following Shopkeeper Chao\'s introduction, he looked at it for a while and asked, "Aren\'t there any puppets in the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
Wang Hong felt that introducing him to a foundation cultivator for a long time, and always introducing puppets who only had the strength of the Qi training stage, would be of any use to him.
"Hehe, it turns out fellow daoists want puppets from the foundation-building period. To tell the truth, fellow daoists, in this Qianqiao city, there is no shop that sells foundation-building puppets privately."
After listening to Wang Hong\'s question, shopkeeper Chao replied with a smile.
"Why is this? The battle puppets in the Qi training period are not helpful to the battle of the foundation monks."
Wang Hong asked a little puzzled, and what he said was that it cannot be sold privately, so there should be some explanation in it.
