After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 247 Confession (11)

Inside the imperial palace, Yuyao Palace.

After Gu Changzai fed Ling Yiyan a snow lotus pill, he began to wait for him to wake up.

The system said that Ling Yiyan's body looked fake, and Gu Chang confirmed what the system said when he lifted the sleeve of Ling Yiyan's arm.

There were several knife cuts on Ling Yiyan's arms. Each wound had become old and white, with no signs of healing.

When Yinli saw this, he was also shocked for a few seconds.

Gu Chang didn't intend to tell Yin Li about the Konggu puppets here, so he asked Yin Li to continue moving the remaining puppets in the hall with him.

A quarter of an hour later, Ling Yiyan gradually woke up.

He leaned back in his chair and turned his head when he heard footsteps. Seeing the two people moving the puppet, Ling Yiyan tried to move his legs, then his hands. When he could fully control his body, Ling Yiyan stood up from the chair.

"Master, how do you feel now?" Gu Changchang saw that Ling Yiyan had stood up, so he walked towards Ling Yiyan.

He and Yinli had already moved all the puppets out of the hall. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he and Yinli had to stay in Yuqiao Palace at least until the hour of You.

Ling Yiyan's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He walked towards the long table where he carved jade, took two deep breaths, and then turned his head to look at Gu Chang standing beside him. "You guys, you should have known that I'm not a normal person, right?"

"Yeah." Gu Chang responded simply.

Yin Li then walked over to Gu Chang and his eyes fell on Ling Yiyan's arm. "Why won't the wound on your arm heal?"

Ling Yiyan was silent for a while, then he said: "Since you saved my life, I will tell you the reason."

"My body is made from the body of the Konggu Puppet and the last person in the puppeteer family. Once the Konggu Puppet is injected with a soul, it will have endless lifespan until this body dies." Ling Yiyan turned around and walked back to the chair where he had been sitting before and sat down.

"Does the Konggu Puppets really exist?" Yin Li had only read records about the Konggu Puppets in ancient books, but there were not many related descriptions. Moreover, hundreds of years had passed, so whether the Konggu Puppets existed remained to be verified.

"Yes, after a Konggu puppet is injured, the injured area can only be filled with the same material. If not, the wound will remain." Ling Yiyan looked at Gu Chang, whose eyes were slightly downcast, "You are also a Konggu puppet, right?"

Gu Chang raised his eyebrows slightly, while Yin Li turned his head to look at Gu Chang with a little surprise.

"You have a very unique aura." Ling Yiyan stared at Gu Chang with a serious look, his voice hoarse when he spoke.

Gu Chang smiled slightly and asked in a gentle tone, "Excuse me, are you the last one in the puppeteer family? Or are you from hundreds of years ago?"

Ling Yiyan did not answer Gu Chang's question immediately. He was thinking about whether he should say the next words in front of these two people.

"Yinli, please go out first. I want to talk to the master alone." After Gu Chang finished speaking, Yinli obeyed his words and left the hall.

Gu Chang pulled a chair over and sat opposite Ling Yiyan, then asked Ling Yiyan a question, "Do you still remember a woman named Elegy?"

Ling Yiyan's expression darkened. He frowned and questioned Gu Chang, "Where did you get this name?!"

"Of course, the owner of this name told me personally." Gu Chang answered calmly.

Ling Yiyan: "Where is she?!"

Gu Chang: "Answer my question first."

Ling Yiyan suddenly sighed and said to Gu Chang: "It's not good for you to know too much."

"No problem." Gu Chang answered affirmatively.

Ling Yiyan had no choice but to tell Gu Chang a story.

During the heyday of the Puppet Master family, even alchemists had to bow to the Puppet Master family's glory.

But everything that goes up must come down, and the glory of the puppeteer family cannot last forever.

The reason for the destruction of the puppeteer family was the appearance of a powerful evil spirit at that time.

The evil ghost continued to devour human lives and the souls of those who died tragically, and then became more and more powerful.

Many alchemists and puppeteers gathered at the place where the evil spirit appeared, trying to eliminate it.

With the joint efforts of both parties, the evil ghost was subdued and then handed over to the puppeteer for disposal.

But no one knew that after the evil ghost was brought back to the puppeteer's family, it was bound in a puppet.

Waiting for 49 days of chanting, and then disappearing.

The person who did this was Ling Ye, the patriarch of the puppeteer family.

However, Ling Ye's wife suddenly fell ill and was about to pass away. Ling Ye had no choice but to stop chanting and go see his wife for the last time. However, the evil spirit took advantage of the puppet master's family's absence and separated a wisp of soul from the puppet.

The fragment of soul followed Ling Ye away, like an inconspicuous speck of dust, and attached itself to the body of Ling Ye's wife in a place that Ling Ye did not notice.

Ling, who lost his beloved wife, also became possessed by evil spirits. After dealing with the evil spirits trapped in the puppets, Ling worked day and night to create the first generation of Konggu puppets.

Then he placed the puppet containing his wife's soul into the body of the hollow puppet.

Ling was completely unaware that the fragment was absorbing his wife's soul and growing stronger.

Finally, he lured Ling to offer his blood to feed it.

But Ling Ye's wife noticed something strange in her body. In order not to hurt Ling Ye before she completely lost consciousness, she chose to burn herself to death.

Ling couldn't bear the death of his beloved wife and died in the fire.

But the soul escaped again, and this time it found the location of the other Konggu puppets made by Ling Ye, and then lived in them.

Later, Ling Yiyan was born. He was the last surviving member of the puppeteer family that Wange mentioned.

Ling Yiyan is a genius. He has read countless books in the library and can remember the contents of each book clearly and apply them perfectly.

That night, he came to the library as usual, but this time he heard a voice.

The voice guided him to the Hollow Puppet hidden under the floor.

The moment he saw the Konggu puppet, Ling Yiyan was excited.

Ling Yiyan asked who the owner of the voice was, only to find out that the owner of the voice was Ling Ye, who made the first generation of Konggu puppets.

Ling also said that he did not want the Konggu puppets to be buried. If the Konggu puppets could be made better, they could enable people to achieve immortality.

Ling Yiyan did not tell this to other people in the family because he knew that this was a taboo and an area that could not be touched.

Having said that, Ling Yiyan paused.

Gu Chang couldn't help but ask, "Wangge said that you once went to the elders of your family and asked them if the soul residing in a puppet could be a form of immortality. Why didn't you mention this in the story you told?"

Ling Yiyan smiled, "Criminals always try to embellish their words and actions. It was only after I committed a serious mistake that I finally realized that a puppeteer must respect life, and even more so, the soul."

Then Ling Yiyan continued to tell the unfinished story.
