It was a black stick with no visible texture, about the thickness of an adult's index finger. It slowly rose from the top of the corpse's head, as if a force was slowly pushing it out from the corpse, and connected with it.

The skull rubbed together, making a "chichi lala" sound, which was a bit harsh.

When it stopped, a part of it was still inside the corpse's skull, but the part that was pushed out was probably nearly thirty centimeters long. There was no blood on it, but some mucus like aloe vera liquid rolled and flowed along the stick.

.

"Oh My God!"

Linglong exclaimed, staring dumbly at the thing coming out of the dead man's head, and exclaimed: "What is this?"

I didn't say anything, but took out a pair of rubber gloves from my backpack and put them on, and then I pinched the stick. When I started to use it, I realized that this thing looked tough, but it was actually a bit elastic when I held it, and the texture was a bit similar to rubber.

I slowly pulled the thing out from the corpse's head, and pulled out about ten centimeters in length. Only then did the entire stick come out of the corpse's head. The bottom was sharp, making the stick look like an awl...

The moment I left the dead body, the thing buzzed and trembled in my hand.

On the dark stick, there were bright red runes flickering, flickering on and off. These runes looked like tadpole runes, but they were different. They were exactly the same as the runes on the corpse's scalp. They flickered for a moment and then became completely silent.

No more movement.

I held the stick in my hand and looked at it for a moment, and then I said four words: "Stick-headed Doll."

"What staff puppet?"

Kou Laowu scratched his head and wondered: "I've heard of stick-headed puppets, but this is the first time I've heard of stick-headed puppets. Are they the same thing?

Isn't this stick-head puppet a trick played on the streets in the past? Among the various pyracantha flowers, among the jugglers in the past, one of them is said to be playing this stick-head puppet show, and has developed a new skill because of it.

Thaumatology is probably about making stick-headed puppets as puppets, and people control the puppets to fight. It has some meaning.

Who is that..."

After saying this, he turned to look at brother and sister Linglong and Jingyu, and said, "I heard that your family has a very good relationship with this group of people."

"I heard from the elders in the family that there is indeed such a family friend."

Jing Yu nodded and said with a smile: "It is said that the people in this family can make the stick puppets two feet high. They are extremely powerful and invulnerable. They hide behind and control the puppets, which is very difficult to deal with."

I also heard that the reason why they can make such stick-headed puppets is because their ancestors were once members of the Mohist family and were proficient in the Mohist art of mechanism. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools, the Mohist family has declined, and their family has become more and more chaotic.

By the time of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was almost unsustainable. Even having a full meal was a luxury, so I used the Mohist's mechanism skills to make some ingenious things and put them on the street to perform. Everyone saw the novelty and rewarded two big ones.

Zi'er, it must have been during the Tongzhi period. At that time, stick-head puppetry had just emerged. His family learned some of it, and combined the stick-head puppetry with Mohism's mechanical skills to create a two-foot-high and two-infinity puppet.

, the invulnerable puppet has since become one of the many species, and is regarded as a branch of the pyracantha flower.

However, their puppets are all machine puppets made using Mohist machine skills, but I have never heard of them making living people!"

"This stick-headed puppet is two different things from the stick-headed puppet you mentioned.

This is also a kind of puppet, but it uses people as puppets."

I shook my head, looked at the sharp black stick in my hand, and said softly: "This is a witchcraft recorded in some of the remaining handbooks of my family.

You heard it right, this is not puppetry, this is witchcraft puppetry.

It’s not clear who left the note that recorded this thing, but it must have been a former Heavenly Official or a member of the Wei clan.

It is said above that this kind of witchcraft originated very early, and it is suspected to come from a tribe that believed in the twelve ancestral witches in ancient times.

The twelve ancestral witches refer to Dijiang, Jumang, Zhurong, Lingshou, Gonggong, Xuanming, Houtu, Qiangliang, Zhulong, Tianwu, Xizi, and Shebishi.

These are the twelve legendary gods. In ancient times, many tribes used them as totems, believed in them, and advocated witchcraft. Most of these tribes are active in the Miao border area today.

The stick-head puppet technique is said to have originated from this period. My family's handbook also said that this technique may have originated from the Twelve Ancestral Witches and was passed down by them.

The production method is very complicated. The runes on the dead body and this awl are said to be ancient witchcraft inscriptions passed down by the twelve ancestral witches. When combined properly, they possess unpredictable power."

The Witch King became interested: "Speak more carefully."

"The specific method is not recorded in the handbook. It only says that the key is the awl in my hand. This thing is made of burning paper from the soil of Huangquan. It is mixed with many kinds of spiritual objects. For example, among the monsters, the Hu family

From this huge branch, there is also a fox in the Hu family. The fox has been enlightened for thousands of years. Its spinal cord is a rare spiritual thing. It is extracted and fragrant. Eating it can prolong life.

This magic fox spinal cord is one of the main ingredients for making this thing. Mix it with the soil of the underworld, supplement it with other spiritual objects, bake it for seven or forty-nine days, and then refine it with blood to get this thing.

After nailing this thing into the human body, it can achieve the purpose of controlling people..."

I explained it roughly.

At this time, Xiaobai suddenly poked his head out of my pocket and said: "This is true!

Sister Hu Mei is the charming fox in the Hu family. I remember one time she went out and got injured in a fight with someone. When she came back, she bled a lot. Wow, the blood was fragrant. It was better than anything I had ever smelled.

Smell, I wanted to take a lick, but she slapped me on the head. She pressed my head with her fingers and said with a smile, little thing, I want to eat everything. Don’t you know that I ate my sister’s blood for a long time?

You will always have this smell on your body. As long as it is a male thing, you will be confused and have evil thoughts towards you?

A sister next to her also smiled and said that the blood of the charming fox cannot be touched. If someone breaks the body of Sister Hu Mei and uses the red pill, he will be addicted to Sister Hu Mei for the rest of his life and obey Sister Hu Mei's advice forever.

relief."

Hu Mei is now the head of the Hu family in the Demon Ruins...

I thought of the ancestor of the Hu family who passed away. After his death, he passed his seat to Hu Xian'er, and then Hu Xian'er passed it to Hu Mei. Finally, Hu Xian'er went to the place where the two brothers died in the battle in Tianguanli.

, trying to find out the truth behind the death of the Heavenly Official in battle, and... the reason why she went crazy.

Interrupted by this little thing, Xiao Bai, I couldn't help but picture Hu Mei's charming appearance in my mind. It turned out that Hu Mei was actually the rare fox in the Hu family.

At the same time, he slapped Xiaobai on the forehead angrily and scolded: "Little thing, you talk about red pills every day, you know nothing!"

"I know more than you!"

Xiaobai curled his lips, looked at me sideways, and said disdainfully: "Those sisters from the Hu family, what don't you understand? When you went there, if your ancestors hadn't given an order not to let the big guys touch you, those sisters would have taken care of you.

You were eaten alive. Do you know what those sisters said about you?

They say that you are a young kid pretending to understand. It is the most fun thing. You can make your wolfberry a meal with just your sharp tongue...

I stay with her every day, don’t I know more than you do?”

What a young chick who doesn’t understand and pretends to understand...

My old face turned red after being told that, and I was about to scold him when Xiaobai tilted his eyes and said something that made me shudder: "Do you think Sister Hu Mei took time out of her busy schedule to look for you when ancestor Hu Xian'er was lost? She

I am going to give you the red pill, so that you will never be able to leave her and can only stay by her side. When you grow up, our Hu family will become the first family in the demon market.

The ancestor also had this idea at the beginning. He whispered it, but it was gone before he could make arrangements. If I hadn't run to tell Sister Hu Mei, the ancestor said that Wei Jingzhe could not move, otherwise there would be a big disaster, Hu Mei

Only then did my sister stop her activities.

Otherwise, just because you haven't seen a woman's body in the past twenty years, how can you resist Sister Hu Mei's thousand-year skill of making men kneel down and beg for mercy with just one look?

You still laugh at me and I don’t understand, so just enjoy it secretly!”

I can no longer scold Xiaobai. How can I still be unable to tell right from wrong?!

Back then, the two brothers Tianguan, who were the direct ancestors of our clan, fought against the demon ruins and caused chaos in the demon ruins. The ancestor of the Hu family was even beaten crazily by my direct ancestor...

Logically speaking, the ancestor of the Hu family must have dealt with me, but he was very kind to me. I feel extremely guilty for being so kind. Although this kindness is due to fate, it is indeed a bit too much...

It turned out that the old fox actually had such thoughts.

And what Hu Mei did the night she came to see me...

Hearing what Xiaobai said, everything was settled. At that time, Xiaobai refused to tell this fact. I'm afraid... this little guy also inherited the kindness of the Hu family. I don't want me to have a bad feeling towards the Hu family because of this. I hope I can

Please help, at least find Hu Xianer...

This little thing does have an exquisite heart with seven orifices.

I smiled and didn't care about it.

"So, this method is actually a method of controlling corpses?"

The Witch King asked, bringing my thoughts back to reality.

"It's not the one who controls the corpse."

I shook my head slightly and looked at the corpse in the coffin with complicated eyes: "The staff puppet is used to control living people!!"
