Chapter 259 I am a little fish (14)
The door was closed in front of Jingli, just as coldly as Mengli had been before.
Jingli had already gotten used to it, and obediently returned to her room, sending what she had just found out to 6058.
6058 quickly responded, confirming that the Spirit Puppet Burial Mound is indeed a blessed land that will open soon.
The Spirit Puppet Burial Mound, originally named Spirit Puppet Immortal Abode, is said to be a small country hidden deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south when the spiritual energy of the cultivation world was still abundant. It had a small population but was famous for its puppetry skills. The area around it was surrounded by a maze and filled with miasma. Unless the people of the Spirit Puppet Clan actively opened a path to survival, ordinary people could not enter.
In the Spirit Puppet Immortal Abode, a genius puppeteer was born. It is said that this person not only possessed puppetry skills that surpassed those of the entire country, but also had the ability to communicate with heaven and earth.
Unfortunately, the Imperial Advisor did not use his talent to lead the country to a higher level. Instead, he devised a secret technique—the forbidden art of creating spirit puppets from living people.
Initially, the Imperial Advisor only used this method on prisoners of war, extracting their souls and injecting them into puppets, turning them into fighting machines that could use their souls as a trigger.
The Grand Preceptor was not satisfied with the souls of the prisoners of war; he wanted to create a truly immortal puppet king, and even more so, he wanted to use the souls of ten thousand people as sacrifices to create a final resting place for his own soul.
From then on, the Spirit Puppet opened the gates of life, using high-level puppets and Spirit Puppet treasures as bait to attract cultivators.
These people naturally never returned.
Judging from the information that has been passed down, no one knows the extent to which the Imperial Advisor's puppet king had been crafted. It is only known that powerful figures who noticed something amiss went to investigate, and only managed to glean fragments of information about the dangers involved, but none of them survived.
This evil art, which defied the will of Heaven, ultimately angered the Heavenly Way.
Ninefold lightning tribulation will descend, and the entire country will be razed to the ground.
Later generations speculated that at that moment, the Grand Preceptor might have been standing on the shoulder of his puppet king, his robes fluttering in the light of the lightning strikes.
No one knows what he is thinking.
As the first bolt of lightning tore through the night, he leaped into the air, and all the puppets in the country responded with a buzzing sound.
Almost instantly, all the puppets rose into the air, their forms shifting to form a semi-circle. The Puppet King stood atop it, enduring the first lightning tribulation.
At this moment, the Imperial Preceptor spread out his divine sense to communicate with heaven and earth, and used his own flesh and blood as a sacrifice to cast the forbidden spell—the Reincarnation Curse.
Under the fierce thunder, the Puppet King's body was completely destroyed, and his vengeful spirit broke free. Together with the souls of the entire kingdom, it was swept up in the Rebirth Curse within the territory of the Spirit Puppet Kingdom.
Heavenly lightning, flesh and blood, soul, forbidden techniques.
The Imperial Advisor took his final step with his own soul—he transformed the entire nation into a puppet and buried it under the sway of Heaven.
After that, Lingkui Immortal Abode became the "Lingku Ten Thousand Burial Mound".
The Spirit Puppet Burial Mound had never been opened before, and everyone thought that the Grand Preceptor had failed and that the "puppet" made from the lives of the entire nation no longer existed.
However, recently, the spiritual energy fluctuations around the Spirit Puppet Burial Mound have become more and more frequent, indicating that this ancient puppet kingdom will see the light of day again.
Cultivators flocked to this newly opened blessed land, eager to claim a share—not only for the once-famous puppets, the treasures left behind in the country, and secret techniques like puppetry, but also for the legendary artifact used by the Chinese abbot when performing forbidden arts—the Rebirth Bell.
When the death bell rings, the dead are brought back to life, and the living are reborn.
Not to mention that the Rebirth Bell, now serving as the core of the Spirit Puppet Burial Mound, has been nourished by the souls of tens of thousands of people and refined by heavenly lightning.
If the Bell of Rebirth is obtained, this blessed land may only have this one chance to open.
The number of cultivators who will go to this place at that time is unimaginable.
In a powerful city like Lingxiao City, this news had already spread far and wide, and the Lingxiao Sect would likely send a few of its strongest disciples.
Jingli touched her chin and suddenly remembered the fox-eyed man she had just met.
As if sensing something, the flake-like spring sprout scratched Jingli's hand again with its soft antennae.
"Is that you too?"
The antennae scratch.
Jingli didn't ask any more questions. He sat on the couch, channeled his energy, and familiarized himself with the cultivation technique.
Meanwhile, after sending the relevant information about the Spirit Puppet Burial Tomb to Jingli, 6058 and Lu Mingguang began preparing to go there.
The fragments of Spring Begins may be in a blessed land where cracks exist, and the Spirit Puppet Burial Mound, possessing the power of reincarnation, the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the karma of massacring cities, does indeed have the possibility of developing cracks.
This very possibility added another layer of danger to this journey to the blessed land.
But this trip was inevitable, so whether it was dangerous or not was not so important.

As the sun set, someone from the inn knocked on the door to ask Jingli and Mengli if they needed a meal. Mengli naturally didn't respond, and Jingli was truly penniless, so even if he wanted to try the delicacies of the cultivation world, he couldn't.
The sky outside was tinged with blue-purple as the sun set, and the lights outside hadn't been turned on yet, making it the time of worst visibility.
Jingli had just finished a practice session and was relaxing when a soft sound from the other side reached his ears.
Jingli knew that Meng Li had some things to do tonight.
After a moment's thought, he quickly activated the several travel techniques he had just learned during the day and sped up to catch up.
Meng Li did these things without hiding them from him, nor did she involve him.
This actually explains Meng Li's current attitude towards him—he's indifferent to her.
But this sense of being optional doesn't mean that it's indifferent.
Meng Li's normal state and her manic state are two different states, and these two states seem to be competing with each other, with one rising and the other falling.
The power of merit that Jingli gained when she first came to this world was attractive to Meng Li in both of her states, but her attitude towards it was completely different.
Normally, Meng Li keeps Jing Li by her side to protect him, but at the same time, she is also wary of him.
When Meng Li was in a frenzy, she kept Jing Li by her side, intending to devour him, but she was restrained by the energy emanating from Jing Li.
Jingli feels safe staying by Meng Li's side, but she needs another opportunity to break through their current relationship.
That's why Jingli followed.
&34; Fairy, where are you going? &34;
When Jingli chased after her, Meng Li had already leaped onto the roof. Jingli's current skill level was naturally too low to catch up. He could only call out to her, lowering his voice and infusing it with spiritual energy to reach Meng Li's ears without alerting anyone else.
Naturally, this spiritual power also contained a trace of energy, simply because Meng Li was currently shrouded in a layer of black mist.
Meng Li paused slightly and turned around.
In the lingering warmth of the setting sun, the little koi carp looked so white they seemed to be fading away.
Meng Li's heart suddenly softened, and she said to him with great compassion: "Go back and wait."
Jingli noticed that the mist around her had thinned a bit, and mustered his courage to take another step forward: "Can you take me with you? I'll stay to the side and won't cause any trouble."
Meng Li remained silent for a moment, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, then turned and left.
Jingli immediately followed, and after confirming that Meng Li had slowed down, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had made the right bet this time.
Meng Li must have used magic to conceal her figure, and Jing Li, afraid of being a burden, took out the invisibility cloak he had previously put on and followed her at a distance.
The two of them, one in front of the other, soon arrived at the highest mansion in Lingxiao City.
City Lord's Mansion.
