"Dad, this big mess in Wendeng County is so difficult to end in the end."

In the Huangfu yard, Huang You and his father were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting.

They have heard of the more than a hundred deaths in Wendeng County today.

Such a bad thing has not happened since the establishment of Dawendeng County.

"The wounds of Wen Deng." Old Master Huang sighed.

Although he no longer serves as the county magistrate, Mr. Huang, who has always loved the people as much as his son and caring about the people, still couldn't help but feel sad after learning about what happened today.

"By the way, didn't you tell me that you invited Lord Ning to live in the mansion for a while? You have never seen him before." Mr. Huang turned to ask.

Huang You scratched his head: "The child is not very clear. This Lord Ning has a business in Wendeng County this time. I guess he should be doing his own business."

At this moment, a servant suddenly ran over quickly and said hurriedly: "Master, young master, a yamen runner came to spread a message outside the mansion, saying that the new county magistrate was unfortunately killed by a demon. He was ordered by Lord Ning to restore his post to the position of county magistrate first and temporarily take over the position of county magistrate."

Mr. Huang: "Hmm? Such an unfortunate thing happened."

Huang You: "Well! There is such a good thing!"

Hearing Lord Fengning's order, Huang You's heart suddenly became brighter.

It is indeed useful to give this adult pride four thousand taels of silver.

As long as you are willing to spend money on the right person, won’t you repay the benefits?

For a moment, Huang You was very impressed by his investment vision.

"In addition, the yamen runner also said, I hope you, Master, you will go back to the yamen to take over official duties soon. Recently, there have been a lot of accumulation in the county yamen and need to be dealt with urgently."

"I understand." Mr. Huang nodded.

Huang You laughed: "Dad, this time I really made friends with noble people. I didn't expect that Lord Ning could do this. Now that you have returned to the position of county magistrate, I can use the imperial station to send goods again."

"You have this little chance."

"Dad, you don't understand. Without my promising prospects, who in Wendeng County is willing to buy a hammer with 4,000 taels?"

...

Outside Wendeng County, an old man with a simple appearance sat in the corner of the tea shed at the entrance of the county.

He saw a fire slash and a linen doll in his hand. Without anyone paying attention, the old man directly pressed the fire slash and then murmured in a low voice.

"Chu Gu, Wendeng County has come to Fumowei. Duluo and I have been found. Duluo is dead. I am arrested and locked up in the jail."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doll suddenly set itself on fire and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

After doing all this, the old man got up and left the tea shed.

...

After the demon who could make a living person into a puppet incarnation was locked in the deepest part of the prison, Ning Xiu sat in the yamen and waited patiently.

At present, I don’t know if there are other puppet incarnations of demons hidden in Wendeng County. If so, how many of them exist.

So Ning Xiu could only wait for Su Qianqian to send a Demon-Fuwei who could distinguish this problem.

Only after completely removing all the hidden dangers in Wendeng County could he escort the demon back to Chaotiandu.

Through some analysis of the demon, Ning Xiu also made some of his own guesses.

Although this demon can control the puppet incarnation to move around, it should have a general range of activities. For example, the entire Wendeng County can't go anywhere far away.

It is precisely because of this that this demon lurks into Wendeng County and disguises himself as Lu Dengke's identity.

Otherwise, if there was no distance limit, he would not have to take risks in this way and come to Wendeng County in person to harm him.

After a long wait, as the sky was about to enter night, a figure from Chaotiandu finally appeared outside Wendeng County.

Three demon-suffering lieutenants wearing Xuanyin mail rushed into Wendeng County quickly and headed straight to the yamen.

When he learned from the yamen runner that the Demon-Subduing Guard had arrived outside, Ning Xiu immediately walked out to greet him. After waiting for so long, the reinforcements finally arrived.

Among the three people who came to Wendeng County this time, Su Qianqian was not seen, but three men who looked seven or eight years older than Ning Xiu.

This surprised Ning Xiu a little. Could it be that the matter he reported was not worth letting Su Qianqian go there in person in terms of the urgency?

"I have seen three people who are under the iron horse and the demon-subduing Wei Ning Xiu. I wonder what are the names of them?" Ning Xiu asked with his fists.

"Brother Ning, you're polite. There are actually no three. This time I'm the only one. My name is Ren Qianxing." The man standing among the three smiled and took out a token of the Iron Horse Fu Demon-Shielding and shook it in front of Ning Xiu to prove his identity.

"Ah?" Ning Xiu was stunned, then reached out and patted the two men around Ren Qianxing.

Sure enough, the touch of the slap was extremely hard and there was a 'bang' sound. As soon as you touch it, you knew that it was not a real person.

"It's so lifelike and vivid. I can't notice it without you reminding me. Brother Ren is a good method. Could it be that you are practicing the puppet way?" Ning Xiu asked in surprise.

Ren Qianxing nodded: "That's right, I'm in the eighth-grade puppet master of the Puppet Dao. This time I heard that there was a demon in Wendeng County who was good at puppet incarnation doing evil. Lord Su entrusts me to come and take a look and help Brother Ning deal with the problem of puppet incarnation."

Seeing that Su Qianqian had not been present in person, Ning Xiu was somewhat puzzled.

Now that I learned that the person in front of me was actually a puppet master of the eighth grade puppet Taoism, I felt at once.

As the saying goes, if you have a specialty in your profession, if you want to find out the hidden puppet incarnation in Wendeng County, who can compare to the puppet master who specializes in creating puppets?

"That's great. Brother Ren follows me. I'll take you to see the demon."

Deep in the yamen prison.

Lu Dengke's body was placed in a large iron cage. In order to prevent the demon from being suffocated to death, Ning Xiu untied the bedding wrapped around Lu Dengke's body.

This allows others to see Lu Dengke's miserable skeleton body at a glance and the demon man curled up in his chest and ribs.

Ren Qianxing stared at the demon man for a long time, sighed inexplicably, and then sighed: "What a body-occupying one's body. If it can be carried forward, it will inevitably be a branch of the puppet path. It's a pity that he has fallen into a demon man."

"Brother Ren, what do you mean?" Ning Xiu asked.

Ren Qianxing pointed at the head where the demon man and Lu Dengke's heart were integrated: "This person was sent into someone else's body like a bug. By integrating the heart, he could control his words and deeds.

At the same time, one's own appearance will begin to change into the appearance of the dead, and you can feel it when you look at his face.

If I guess correctly, I just need to wait for a while, and when his limbs grow out of his hands and feet, he will crawl out of the dead body, and then finally fill his body with various skins of five animals. This demon can be reborn and truly replace his original owner's identity."

Listening to Ren Qianxing's explanation, the demon in the iron cage laughed coldly and said, "You are so powerful that you can actually see the effect of my own puppet Taoist magic."

Ren Qianxing ignored this person and continued, "Fortunately, Brother Ning, you discovered the existence of this demon in advance and captured him. Otherwise, when his magic is completed, everything will be too late."

Ning Xiu suddenly realized that he understood why the demon looked exactly the same as the dead Lu Dengke.

Feelings are the reason behind this.

"Brother Ren, although this secret is very interesting, I don't care much. This demon may have made a lot of puppet incarnations in Wendeng County. The most urgent task at the moment is to find out all the puppet incarnations one by one, destroy them, and give Wendeng County a peace." Ning Xiu whispered to prevent the demon from hearing it.

Ren Qianxing nodded and replied, "Yes, I know."

Ning Xiu glanced at the demon: "Brother Ren, you have seen the demon, too. If you have any plans, let's go out and talk about it."

"OK."

After walking out of the prison, Ning Xiu immediately asked: "Brother Ren, what countermeasures do you have? If you need help from someone, please tell me and I will cooperate with you."

"Puppet masters generally have three methods to control puppets, using lines, souls, and talismans. The three methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Just now, seeing the appearance of the demon in prison, it was not to control the puppets with lines.

It is the most difficult to leave traces when controlling puppets with threads. The last two ways to control puppets are relatively easier to find. Brother Ning will stay in the yamen for the time being and let me deal with this matter alone."

"Then I'll have a hard time."

After learning the information he wanted from the demon, Ren Qianxing immediately began to act and left the yamen with his two puppets.

Although he didn't know this person, he was specially arranged by Su Qianqian. He was also a puppet master of the puppet path, so Ning Xiu was still very relieved.

When Ren Qianxing left, he returned to the room arranged by Dong Fu in the yamen and started to recite the scriptures tonight.

Calculate the day, the golden bead in his hand is almost time to fill the red letters.

The night is getting deeper.

The entire Wendeng Yamen was quiet and extremely quiet.

Two yamen runners patrolled the yamen with lanterns to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.

Although the chance of such a thing happening is very low, I still have to be careful.

At this moment, several figures suddenly flew in outside the wall. Before the two yamen runners could even react, their bodies began to melt terrifyingly.

In an instant, it became bloody on the ground, and there was no one else, leaving only the clothes of the deceased in the pool of blood.

"The prison is there, it's fast, don't let the Demon-Fuing Captain notice it."

Several figures quickly ran on the roof of the building in the yamen, and soon arrived at the entrance of the prison.

At this time, four jailers stood outside the door. The area illuminated by braziers and torches was brightly lit, and anyone who approached would be discovered as soon as possible.

But these figures had no intention of hiding. They jumped off the roof and rushed towards the entrance of the prison.

"Someone robbed the prison!"

"Go and beat the drums! Notify Lord Ning!"

Without waiting for these jailers to take any action, those figures had already come to them.

A large amount of blood was gushed out of the seven orifices of the four jailers instantly, and they were all sucked into their mouths by one of the figures.
