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

Hearing this, He Ping, who was wearing a paper ghost mask, couldn't help but feel moved.

"The art of stealing yang life? I have two evil arts that steal yin life, namely the Five Sons Escape Technique and the Burning Incense Shen Shen Technique. However, the method of stealing yang life is rare..."

He Ping knew that if a mortal breaks through to the Tao realm in practice and comprehends the way of heaven, he or she has completely entered the Tao. Anyone who reaches this realm will have a greatly enhanced cultivation level and a greatly extended life span.

However, even for a master who has entered the Dao level, his longevity has a limit.

After a practitioner enters the Tao realm, his lifespan can exceed a hundred years, and it is not impossible to live to more than two hundred years, but sooner or later his lifespan will be exhausted and he will perish.

"Only by breaking through to the Tao, can you have the opportunity to increase Yang life. Yang life is the real life span. Unlike Yin life, it does not have much benefit to one's body..."

Yangshou can nourish blood, Qi and essence.

The "blood leakage syndrome" in He Ping's body that depletes Qi and blood can be alleviated to the greatest extent once the Yang life is increased.

"Unless I can step into the Tao realm in one breath, it will be difficult for me to increase my longevity. This method of stealing Yangshou is quite useful to me. If I can get this bone bowl and get this secret method of stealing Yangshou, it may be able to change me. The physique..."

He Ping's eyes were focused, and an urgent desire surged in his chest.

"well!"

Cheng Zhi also sighed and said, "I think it was this longevity bone bowl that brought disaster to our family."

"Are you saying that Chengjia Ranch was destroyed because this bone bowl was targeted by something?"

He Ping continued to ask Cheng Zhi.

"Yes! Jie San from the Huma Gang is the enemy who killed my parents... However, Jie San is just a knife in the hands of Sheng Qingzhi, the prefect of Sui'an City. Sheng Qingzhi is the real culprit behind this, and it was he who ordered the Huma Gang , those people from the Changfeng Society killed forty members of my family and destroyed the Cheng family ranch!!!"

When Cheng Zhi thought of the tragedy that happened at Chengjia Ranch that day, he clenched his fists tightly and his teeth chattered with hatred.

"My sister and I escaped by hiding in a broken water tank, and escaped with our lives in the fire. Later, we met a strange man, and we saved our lives from the gang's pursuit... But we have a family. Too many people died under Jie San's sword, and this blood feud will all be blamed on Sheng Qingzhi, a thief."

"Alien?"

"That's a senior who taught me martial arts such as boxing and sword skills, and also taught my sister several skills."

Cheng Zhi sighed slightly.

"It's a pity that my qualifications are too poor. I only have achievements in boxing and kicking martial arts. In terms of magic, it is almost difficult to get started. By the way... Senior, did you see my sister when you rescued me?"

Hearing his question, He Ping raised an eyebrow.

(This guy... really doesn't know that Cheng Yujiao is dead...)

The thoughts in his mind turned slightly, and he spoke slowly: "That ghost village of wandering ghosts is in a yin and yang ghost realm. I just accidentally bumped into it, and I saved you by chance. , As for your sister, I haven’t seen her either.”

Hearing this, Cheng Zhi had a look of annoyance on his face, and then he whispered to himself in a very remorseful voice: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, how could anything happen to my sister?"

Seeing his expression, He Ping was also suspicious.

"The man named Cheng was present at the time. He said he forgot about it because he was too shocked, or for other reasons. He really has no memory of that incident. Forget it..."

——Of course, we don’t rule out the possibility that Cheng Zhi deliberately pretended to be stupid. It's just that for a small character like him, it's pointless to play any tricks in front of him, and you don't need to stretch a finger to crush him to death.

"How do you know that the real culprit behind this matter is the prefect Sheng Qingzhi? Also, what does Sheng Qingzhi want to do with the bone bowl?"

He Ping asked again.

Cheng Zhi's face was gloomy, but when he heard He Ping's question, he still answered honestly.

"We didn't know at the beginning that this matter was related to the dog thief named Sheng. It was only after my sister and I made many inquiries that we found out... Also, the senior also helped a lot, and it was also thanks to that senior , we just caught a villain who was involved in the Chengjia Ranch incident, and through torture, we found out from his mouth that it was the prefect Sheng Qingzhi who ordered them to do this."

When He Ping heard what he said, he felt that there was something fishy in this matter. His intuition told him that this so-called senior was very problematic. He would choose to help the siblings get married, and he probably had other desires.

So, he then asked: "What's that person's name?"

"That senior's name is Chi Xinzi, and he is from the Immortal Puppet Sect. I wonder, does this senior Chi Xinzi have anything to do with you?"

Chi Xinzi, this person is really from the Immortal Puppet Sect!

In an instant, He Ping's eyes dimly lit up.

"Do you know where this innocent child is now?"

Chengzhi looked a little hesitant when he heard this.

"Well...Senior Chixinzi seems to be very interested in the longevity bowl. After he passed on the martial arts skills to me and my sister, he ordered us to stay in the city next year. On the one hand, we will seek revenge on Sheng Qingzhi, and on the other hand, we will replace the Chi Senior Xinzi, find the bone bowl."

He continued: "The bone bowl is somewhat special. It has been kept in a pure white jade box. My ancestor Cheng Tianyou learned from the old beggar that this bone bowl is ominous and must be hidden in the jade box to avoid problems. In addition, a special secret method has been passed down that can use the bloodline of the Cheng family to sense the location of the jade box. Senior Chixinzi hopes that we can help him find the whereabouts of the bone bowl."

"I see."

He Ping nodded.

"You and your sister are hiding in Sui'an City. Are you planning to sneak into the Sheng family and retrieve the bone bowl?"

"Yes."

Chengzhi did not deny it.

"By the way, this senior, you should be familiar with senior Chixinzi, right?"

There was curiosity on his face.

"nature."

He Ping said calmly: "Chixinzi and I are from the same sect. I haven't met him for a long time, but I didn't expect that he would teach you the skills of the Immortal Puppet Sect."

"Senior is indeed a master of the Immortal Puppet Sect." Cheng Zhi's expression became more respectful.

He Ping looked as usual, but his mind was racing with thoughts.

——It seems that the innocent child suffers from the shortage of longevity just like himself. He was hiding behind his back and instructing his siblings in order to find out the whereabouts of the bone bowl that could steal longevity.

"But why does this innocent man have to go to such trouble? Shengqingzhi is just a small prefect in Beifu Prefecture. In Sui'an City, he is indeed a big shot who can shake things up by just stamping his feet. But in the eyes of those of us who are practicing, he can't talk about it. It’s not a powerful role, unless this person’s identity is much more complicated than I imagined…”

He Ping had some contact with Sheng Qingzhi, but he didn't think the magistrate Sheng had any abilities. He was just an ordinary official, and he didn't know any martial arts, let alone Taoist spells.

"No, if Sheng Qingzhi is really just an ordinary official, why does he want to steal the longevity bowl? Could it be that he wants to extend his life, but it doesn't seem like this person has some stubborn disease, or is like me, learning magic and losing energy and blood... …”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple. The prefect of Shengqing, what was the use of this longevity bowl?

——It should be noted that the Dayou Dynasty has always looked down upon prophecies, secret weaves, divination, and all kinds of witchcraft and sorcery. In the past, there was still a big ban on the spread among the people. If someone named Sheng wanted to get the story of stealing the longevity bowl, if it was spread, he would not be afraid of being slapped with ginseng in the officialdom and demoted from the position of prefect to a white man.

"There must be something wrong with it!"

A cold light flashed in He Ping's eyes, but the expression under the mask softened a bit, and he turned to ask: "Do you have a way to contact Chi Xinzi? I need to meet with him."

"this……"

Cheng Zhi sighed and said with a bitter look on his face: "Sister A and I didn't know how to contact that senior. He just told us to contact us after we stole the longevity bowl from the Sheng family's house. "

When He Ping heard this, he sneered in his heart, did Chengzhi think he was a fool? What he said was not entirely true. It seemed that he didn't want to meet that innocent child at all.

(However, Cheng Zhi is not stupid either. He has an unknown origin and bluntly stated that he wants to meet Chi Xinzi. Who knows if there are other conspiracies behind this, especially since Chi Xinzi is also the benefactor of Cheng’s siblings...)

"It turns out there is still this key, so that's fine, Cheng Zhi."

He Ping came up with an idea.

"Do you want revenge? I know that Sheng Qingzhi still has a son named Sheng Qinghong. If you want revenge, maybe you can start with Sheng Qinghong..."

"Sheng Qinghong."

Chengzhi muttered the name.

Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and nodded resolutely.

"Someone must repay the blood feud caused by the marriage, so please give me a helping hand, senior."
