"I can't see anything, but are you a human or a ghost?" asked the skeleton.

"Of course it's human! You... why can you still talk?" Shen Lang asked nervously.

When people ask questions from ghosts, Shen Lang always feels a little abnormal, but he is so curious that he has never encountered such a strange thing.

"Because I'm not an ordinary ghost," said the skeleton.

"Then what are you?" Shen Lang was a little confused.

"To be precise, I should be a puppet." The skeleton sighed.

"Puppet?" Shen Lang was even more surprised and asked in confusion: "Then why are you..."

The skeleton said, "Hmph, boy, seeing that you have entered here, we are destined to be. I'll tell you a story."

"Please...please speak." Shen Lang's eyelids twitched and he immediately said.

The skeleton told the past.

"More than two thousand years ago, there was a martial arts practitioner in the realm of transformation. He accidentally obtained a secret book about puppet technology. From then on, he was out of control and devoted his life to the research of puppet technology."

"But time is short, and after he knew that he could not break through the virtual realm, he was unwilling to sit and wait for death to come. Although a person can still be reincarnated after death as long as his three souls and six spirits are immortal, he can still be reincarnated after death. But for him, even if he has the next life and does not have the memory and emotions of this life, he is not himself! In the next life, he may become an extraordinary and useless person."

"He spent the rest of his life studying the method that could make the martial artist's soul leave his body and attach it to the puppet. For this reason, he created countless human-shaped puppets and tried countless ways..." The skeleton said slowly.

Speaking of this, Shen Lang couldn't help but be surprised. The mummies on the island were probably also the product of this person's puppet technique.

"As he was getting closer and closer to death, he became more and more anxious. Finally, he decided that in order to let his soul attach to the puppet, he would spare no effort even if he gave up most of his cultivation. He tried his best to become a tall, handsome, domineering and mighty puppet, trying to turn that puppet into his new body." The skeleton sneered.

"Did it succeed in the end?" Shen Lang asked.

"Successful! Can I become like this if I succeed?" The skeleton swears, and the "he" he said in his mouth is himself.

After calming down, the skeleton shouted: "At the last moment of death, I used a secret technique to try to leave my soul and try to attach it to the most perfect puppet body. The puppet was successfully attached, but apart from speaking, the body could not move at all! As you can see, the poisonous insects here have long bitten the body of my puppet, and there is only one skeleton left."

Before Shen Lang could speak, the skeleton sighed to himself: "For many years, I finally figured out a truth."

"What's the reason?" Shen Lang asked.^

"A person cannot go against the will of heaven after all. He will die when he deserves death. No matter what method he uses, he cannot escape death. Unless he can continue to break through the limit, there may be a glimmer of hope for immortality." The skeleton sighed.

"Although you can't move, you are the same as immortal now." Shen Lang couldn't help but say. In his eyes, the actions of the skeleton can be considered a miracle.

"You kid is too naive, I'm not immortal. I've been here for countless years, and my soul is actually weakening day by day. Now I've calculated that it's not a few years old. And when my soul dissipates, the true soul will be destroyed and I will never be able to be reincarnated again." The skeleton said.

Shen Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that he would die like this.

"Senior, I have something I'm very curious about. Did you say you are a master of realm and practiced in the secular world two thousand years ago?" Shen Lang couldn't help asking.

"No, I was born in Linhai Tianshan Mountain." Skeleton said.

Shen Lang's eyes lit up and he asked curiously: "Didn't it mean that the masters of the Transformation Realm cannot pass through the Kunlun Mountain barrier? How did the seniors come to the secular world?"

"Hmph, is it really too long? Thousands of years ago, not to mention the masters of the Transformation Realm, even the martial arts cultivators in the Void Realm could cross the barrier. It might be because the teleportation power of the Kunlun Mountain barrier was constantly weakening, and one day it would be completely closed and no one could cross the barrier." The skeleton said.

Shen Lang was shocked. It turned out that such a thing was there.

No wonder I heard from Mizushi Island that the first generation of Tianji Sect was a master of the Void Realm, and it may have come to the secular world before the Kunlun Mountain barrier declined.

"Boy, what kind of cultivation are you?" the skeleton asked suddenly.

"After the late stage of the world," Shen Lang replied.

The skeleton seemed a little surprised and continued to ask, "How old are you?"

"23 years old." Shen Lang continued to answer.

"What!" The skeleton was finally shocked. He had the cultivation level of the late stage of the Inquiry Realm at the age of 23. This talent surprised him a little.

"Boy, because you are quite well-behaved, please immediately take me as your teacher." The skeleton said slowly.

"I have a master, so I don't want to worship again." Shen Lang shrugged.

"Ahem... I was a master in the late stage of the Transformation Realm before my lifetime. As my disciple, I can pass on your amazing puppet technique." The skeleton said immediately.

Shen Lang shook his head: "I'm not interested in puppet technique."

The skeleton was a little disappointed and sighed, "Okay, since you don't want to, I won't force it. In fact, after so many years, I have forgotten all the martial arts techniques, but I only remember the puppet technique. But boy, you are in a bad mood. The things in my cave have long been emptied by those incompetent apprentices during my lifetime."

Shen Lang pointed to the mirror next to the jade platform and asked, "What is that mirror?"

"This is the Yuyang Treasure Mirror." said the skeleton.

"Yuyang Treasure Mirror? What's the use?" Shen Lang asked curiously.

"It's useless." The skeleton said lightly.

Shen Lang was speechless. It was useless and he also took such a mysterious name, which seemed to be very powerful.

"Hmph, useful things have been stolen by my useless apprentice, can you still stay here? But although this treasure mirror is useless, it has a function." The skeleton added.

"What function?" Shen Lang asked immediately.

"This realm can ward off evil spirits and filth, and it has a great effect on ghosts!" said the skeleton.

Shen Lang scratched his head and asked, "What is a ghost?"

"I don't know what it is, either." said the skeleton.

"..." Shen Lang was completely speechless.

"Probably, maybe it may be something related to ghosts? Ghosts are very afraid of this mirror, but ghosts are different from ghosts. This realm was picked up by me in a secret realm. Maybe there are any other wonderful uses. You can take it back and you can study it slowly in the future." The skeleton added.

"Okay." Shen Lang was a little disappointed. It seemed that there was nothing to be made of.
