Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

Chi Xinzi was dressed in a green robe. He strode out of the scorching mist, gently stroking his beard and letting out a long laugh.

"Congratulations, junior brother, you are really surprised. You have also cracked the "Three Yang Tribulation" and other Taoist rectification methods of Chongyang Palace. However, Chongyang Palace is one of the three holy places of Taoism in the world. Any outsider can understand " If the incident of "Three Yang Tribulation" is exposed, it will cause an uproar."

"Uproar?"

He Ping chuckled.

"Senior Brother Chixinzi, you think too much. Dead people in this world will not reveal secrets."

"It seems that Junior Brother You really has murderous intentions."

Chi Xinzi smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly.

"If I had known this, I should have taken action in advance."

"As the saying goes, 'The sun and the moon pass away, and the years are not with me.' The most important thing in the world should be feared is opportunity, and opportunity is fleeting if it is just one cent or less..."

He Ping smiled lightly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Senior brother, the Immortal Puppet Sect has always been destined to be like this. You have made enough calculations. We should also settle the accounts between us, right?"

"well said."

The shadow under Chi Xinzi's feet expanded, and countless pale arms extended out from the shadow, continuing to grow like living creatures. Hundreds of hands seemed to have turned into some kind of mutated creature, stretching out from the shadow.

There were traces of fire flowing on the surface of He Ping's body. He moved his fingertips, and a blazing light and shadow like a fire dragon sprang up, burning toward Chi Xinzi.

The heat spread over, and the old man in green robe also felt his cheeks burning. When his boots moved, the pale arms growing out of the ground were densely covered, and they collided with the fire dragon. The flames wrapped around them, and those white hands exploded. When it opened, it exploded into countless black mud with "poof" and "poof", and the fire flickered for a while and was extinguished by a large amount of black mud.

The next second, the black mud that fell on the ground was sucked back by the shadow, and then dozens of arms grew out of the black shadow.

"...What is this?"

He Ping was also a little surprised. He glanced over and saw that as the densely packed pale arms emerged from the dark shadows on the ground, Chi Xinzi stood up in a green robe, and a strange feeling spread all over his body. In the field, there seems to be an invisible wind hovering outside.

"Senior brother, this is not the magic of the Immortal Puppet Sect..."

He could tell at a glance that these pale arms were clearly the product of the combination of "fragmented ghost hands" and some kind of magic. This caused the puppet's prosthetic hand to become a deformed structure that was half living thing and half puppet.

"This is using some of the spells in "Demon Planting" and some talismans from heretics, trying to graft them onto our puppetry. To be honest, this is a bit nondescript..."

He Ping's tone was obviously slightly sarcastic.

"Although this method is a bit complicated, it is also a special technique that I have carefully developed after summarizing what I have learned over the years. Junior brother, please don't underestimate it!"

Chi Xinzi didn't care, instead he laughed.

"Junior brother, if my guess is correct, the three-yang tribulation power you stole from the 'Elixir Fire Talisman' is not perfect. If not, you wouldn't be here talking nonsense to me for so long to delay time... the world As we all know, in addition to the natural Tao seeds, "Three Yang Tribulation" can only be practiced by those who devoutly believe in sacrificial fire. I guess you took a cunning way, otherwise why would you hide it and wait until outside Narcissus Cave to take action? .”

Hearing this, He Ping frowned. He had to admit that Chi Xinzi's guess was correct.

"Three Yang Tribulation" is the power he stole after all, not that he really mastered the righteous method of entering the Tao. If you continue to use this power for a long time, firstly, it will consume a lot of your own mind, and secondly, it will also put a load on the heart of the undead creature.

After he had just used it once, it had to be shut down, just like an overheated engine that needed to cool down. If not for this reason, who would have had nothing to do with chatting with this innocent man? It would be most convenient to kill him in one go.

‘… I’m afraid something will change, so I’ll increase my power to ‘Qingyang Immortal Body’ in one go. I must kill Chi Xinzi with one blow! ’

While He Ping secretly made up his mind, he replied casually: "Senior brother, I think you are thinking too much. I just feel that with my current strength, I don't need to deal with you seriously, unless you have already Cultivate the "Magic Planting" of the Three Yuan Demon Palace."

Speaking of this, his cold gaze also pierced over.

"By the way, where are the women brought by Granny Miaohua and Cheng Zhi? Could it be that senior brother is planning to let those two go get "Demon Planting", and he is planning to stop me alone."

"Junior brother doesn't know something."

Chi Xinzi was not in a hurry to answer, but changed the subject.

"The upper, middle and lower meridians of the Sanyuan Demon Palace each master a righteous method of entering the Tao. Among them, the "Xuanxing Method" of the upper Yuanzi Weimai, also known as the Nine Emperor Xingmai; and the "Zhongmo" of the Zhongyuan Qingxumai. There is also an alias called the Ninth Refining of the Nether Demon, and its method has two volumes: the upper and lower volumes."

"The second volume of "Growing Demons" contains the Hinayana secrets of refining souls and transforming into demons and Legilimency, which are the two volumes of 'Resentful Demons' and 'Death Demons' that I passed on to you... However, this Hinayana secrets are just a trail, and for us As far as monks are concerned, the value of understanding and research is the only value, and Hinayana secrets cannot lead to Taoism."

"The method of "Cultivation of Demons" also contains a volume of superior secret methods. This superior secret method is the essence of "Creation of Demons" and the only way to achieve the Taoist realm. Senior brother, my real goal is to master the secret method of "Creating Demons". roll."

"Senior brother."

He Ping was startled.

"You are so eager for success and want to get the first volume of "Cultivation of Demons". Could it be that something went wrong while practicing this sect's technique, and that's why you embarked on this path... If not, who would take this sect's practice? His 'fragmented ghost hands' have reached such a nondescript state!"

Hearing this, Chi Xinzi was silent for a while. Finally, he sighed and nodded.

"The 'Five Oaths of the Puppet Sect' are indeed terrible. If not for this, I would not suffer from the 'day and night retreat'. My own body does not advance but retreats. This is the last resort. I have to find another way to enter the Tao and rectify the Dharma. Otherwise, If you go backwards any further, your entire cultivation will be wasted..."

As he spoke, the number of those pale arms continued to increase, twisting and extending like snakes, squirming and expanding in all directions. One after another, the pale palms opened, and each of the weird fingers looked like long... Long dead branches.

"Junior brother, you said this is the fate of the Immortal Puppet Sect, but in my opinion, this is not fate. This is nothing more than Wuyousheng and the poisonous plan set by the ancestors of the Immortal Puppet Sect——"

There seemed to be blazing flames burning in the pupils of Chi Xinzi's eyes.

"If this is really fate, I will never believe it."

"It's the same thing whether you believe it or not!"

He Ping let out a faint breath. Time had almost been won. A full circle of flames appeared all over his body. A green flame rose up in the darkness, and the heat wave of moxibustion shot out.

"Anyway, you will definitely die here today..."

…

"Bang! Bang! Bang...boom..."

A low explosion sounded, the aftershock of the fight, and dust and dust dispersed in the air.

There was another loud crash, and in the dust of the dust, the flames suddenly burst out, and two figures suddenly flashed past, flying away, the sleeves of their robes were turned up, either attacking or defending, and they were looming. Measurement.

In the blink of an eye and in a very short period of less than a few seconds, the duel between the two came to an end without any suspense.

Canopy!

Several green flames fell to the ground, and the flames spread like oil and water. A figure fell heavily to the ground with a "bang", blood and sand and dust splashed everywhere, which was extremely tragic.

"You...you won after all, junior brother!"

Chixinzi spat out a mouthful of blood, stared angrily, and took his last breath. The strong firelight scattered around him reflected his bruised and bruised face, which was still stained with blood. The old man's facial features were distorted, and his expression was in pain. And showed great regret.

He Ping walked over slowly. The five fingers of his right hand were filled with flames, and he held a heart in his palm. The heart quickly melted into a ball of rotten flesh.

He lowered his head and glanced at Chi Xinzi's body lying on the ground. Chi Xinzi was indeed dead. His chest and abdomen were covered with red stains, and a bloody hole opened in his chest.

"Something's wrong... This innocent kid, it's almost like he's here to die on purpose?!"

He Ping did not feel the pleasure of killing a powerful enemy. Instead, his face was filled with doubts and his eyebrows were furrowed.

It has to be said that Chi Xinzi's death was a bit strange. At this time, he had already noticed something fishy...

"What did I miss? Chi Xinzi's behavior is more of delaying time than sending him to death. What is he delaying, and what is it worth delaying?"

He quickly sorted out the information in his mind and recalled all the details before and after arriving at Narcissus Cave.

"Chengzhi...Chengjia Ranch...Chengtianyou, it seems that all the strange things are hidden in it..."

He Ping realized that he had grasped a key point among thousands of clues, but because he still lacked some key information, he could not sort out the mystery yet.

"It seems that the real reason lies in Chengjia's bloodline. Cheng Tianyou, Cheng Tianyou is very suspicious!"

He suddenly laughed.

"If this is the case, then I have brought the right thing!"

He Ping turned over and slapped his palm on the ground. The strong wind shook the ground. A red-painted coffin slowly rose up from the shadows. The coffin kept shaking, and the iron chains wrapped around it also "clanged" and "clanged". Trembling.

"...Cheng Yujiao, it's finally time to let you out."
