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

Far away from the disputed place of Tongbai Mountain, a tall figure stood on a peak on Linggang Mountain in the neighboring state, a hundred miles away.

This man was wearing an official robe with a picture of a unicorn treading the sea embroidered on the robe, and a demon-slaying sword on his waist.

This man was none other than Ji Quji, one of the nine chief envoys of the Evil-Slaying Department. He was a huge man with a strong back and strong waist.

Ji Quji did not wear a bun, and had thick hair that looked like a lion's mane. Under his cheeks was a sword-like mustache. "The mustache is many and straight, and it is as angry as a halberd" is a portrayal of this person's appearance. .

"Junior Brother Yan, is it almost time?"

Seeing that it was dark, he asked a person standing behind him.

"It's almost time, Brother Ji."

The speaker was a middle-aged scribe in golden clothes. He was dressed half Taoist and half Confucian. His hair was slightly white on his temples. He was smiling and his breath was gentle and calm, but there was an invisible flow of water vapor between his movements.

The middle-aged scribe in golden clothes has a surname of Yan and a given name of Zhongji. He is the head of the Yan family in Jucheng, Yuanshui Prefecture, and Ji Quji's junior brother.

"However, senior brother, regarding Tongbai Mountain, someone has obviously set a trap secretly to trap your two disciples, Fu Qing and Yan Hong. I am afraid that the ultimate goal is to lure you into the trap. I believe you can see this!"

Yan Zhongji and Ji Quji are both disciples of the Daoxuanqingliu lineage in Xijie Mountain. The Daoxuanqingliu lineage was born from aristocratic families. It is said that before the Daxian Dynasty, there was a dynasty called Dajin, which was very important in establishing the country. short.

Metaphysics rose during the Jin Dynasty, but due to the turmoil of the current situation, the old classics were lost and it was difficult to find teachers. All the Confucian scholars abandoned their classics and fled to the learning of Lao and Zhuang...

Xijie Mountain was originally the headquarters of the Daoxuan lineage. It had withdrawn from the stage of history by the time of the Great Xian Dynasty, and even declined after the founding of the Dayou Kingdom. Even so, there were still several forces under the table that continued the tug-of-war in its heyday. , so far.

The Yan family in Jucheng, Yuanshui Prefecture, is one of them. Among the various branches in Xijie Mountain, the Yan family is also considered a relatively prosperous one and is also a local celebrity family.

Yan Zhongji and Ji Quji had a close personal relationship. Yan family rules strictly prohibited his children from getting involved in chaos in the court or the spiritual world. If Ji Quji hadn't invited him, he might not have been willing to help.

Ji Quji nodded after hearing what he said.

"Having said that, I can't abandon my disciples. What's more, there is something weird in the villa in Tongbai Mountain. The master has ordered me to go and find out. In addition, I also received news that the Nine Evils of Immortality Jiang Lingxu, who is in the middle, united with the Qi Soul Sect, Ghost Crying Sect, and Cursed Sword Sect to form a Ten Thousand Dharma Alliance. I'm afraid there is a conspiracy hidden behind this matter, and I have to guard against it!"

"Then act according to senior brother's plan!"

Yan Zhongji shook his head.

"I will use the Yin Shen to leave my body and protect you secretly with the water element method. You and I, brothers and sisters, will be in the light and the other in the dark. Even if something happens, there will always be someone to take care of you!"

He is also a master of the Dao level. It's just that Yan Zhongji is not a member of the imperial court. Even if he is promoted to Taoism, the news will not be revealed. The outside world does not know that the Yan family in Jucheng, Yuanshui Prefecture has become a strong man at the level of Taoism.

The Yan family studied the "Water Overturning Sword Technique" in "Five Elements of Righteousness". After practicing the water element to the extreme, they can also refine the spirit, and finally be able to condense the water element soul.

Yan Zhongji has not yet reached the stage where the Yuan Shen manifests his sage, but his cultivation is close to the level of "the softest in the world, the strongest in the world, and the inexhaustible". Once the water element method is used, it can gather energy and disperse, and the changes are endless.

"Thank you so much, junior brother!"

Ji Quji cupped his hands, and Yan Zhongji laughed, sat cross-legged on the ground, and shouted: "The Yan family's children obey the order and guard my body. I will accompany Master Ji to Tongbai Mountain right now!"

He has succeeded in refining the spirit, and the Yin God can travel. But the physical body is always a weakness, because once the soul leaves the body, the physical body will lose consciousness. If the physical body is destroyed by someone, it will be like duckweed in the wind, without a foundation.

"I will obey the order of the master of the family!"

From the dark night, dozens of shadows shot up from the foot of Linggang Mountain, like streaks of lightning, falling not far away and revealing their figures. These were all dressed as Confucian scholars, and most of them had swords on their backs.

In addition, the Yan family also sent many troops to surround Linggang Mountain and set up countless traps and formations on the mountain.

"The head of the family."

A young man who was one of the "Five Tiger Generals" of the Yan family suddenly said: "If Tongbai Mountain is really extremely dangerous, why don't you take my descendants of the Yan family with you?"

"Pointless!"

Ji Quji said calmly: "The battle at Tongbai Mountain is destined to be a struggle between Taoist masters. You people are too weak. No matter how many you are, it won't help!"

As soon as he said these words, all the children of the Yan family present were choked and speechless, and the head of the Yan family, Yan Zheji, also gave a wry smile.

"Junior Brother Ji, there is no need to say this so plainly, but as he said... you are not strong enough and cannot help us this time! Let's go!"

As soon as he closed his eyes, the water element method was activated, and a burst of water vapor suddenly burst out from between his eyebrows, and huge thoughts fluctuated.

Suddenly, a figure that seemed to be condensed from water appeared. As soon as it spun around, it turned into an invisible tornado of water. It enveloped Ji Quji's figure and flew into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye!

…

"Xiaojing Villa is indeed a little weird!"

Among the five-color gods of wealth, the Red Wheel Lord is short and fat. He wears a gold hoop on his head, messy hair shawl, and a coarse linen garment.

He and the other four Gods of Wealth walked into Xiaojing Villa. After being distracted for a moment, he separated from his four companions and fell into a garden in the manor.

This garden has been sparsely maintained for a long time, with moss growing on the flat bricks and stones, and overgrown weeds all around. There is a dry pool not far away.

There was a trace of doubt in Fat Toutuo's heart. No matter he himself, King Bai Baobao, Huang Mian Qutan, Master Heitian, and Mother Ludu all practiced the art of non-existence of thoughts of the Zunxing Sect.

This method was created by the predecessors of the Zunxing Sect. It only uses the thoughts in the heart to make wanderings. Once the thoughts move, there will be no hindrance.

It's like a frog who doesn't know the height of the sky. Although he is nowhere near the middle of the well, his thoughts can swim in the blue sea and sky.

Once the art of non-existence is cultivated, the minds of five people can communicate with each other. If the cultivation reaches a high level, even sound, shape, color and taste cannot be isolated.

"Even the art of Wu Cun Xiang is blocked. What secret is hidden in Xiaojing Villa?"

He walked slowly to the front of a house. This is a two-story small building located in the manor garden. It is covered with vines and moss and looks extremely old.

There are mulberry trees growing all around, the leaves rustle softly, and the sound of the wind blowing is also a bit cold.

Fat Toutuo waved his hand, and with a bang, the wooden door was knocked open by an invisible force.

Inside the door, there was darkness.

Lord Honglun was also alert and did not rush in. He threw out a twisted talisman paper with green lines and let it fall to the ground.

As soon as the rune hit the ground, it turned into a green shadow and disappeared without a trace.

"It doesn't look weird?"

Only then did Fat Toutuo feel relieved. He had another ancient lamp in his hand, and the light turned into a ball of extremely pale golden flames, illuminating the room.

On the first floor of this small building, there are old and rotten wooden furniture, the old window paper is tattered, and the beams and columns are intertwined with spider webs.

There is also a strange shrine in the house, and I don’t know what kind of statue is enshrined there. There are some food for worship on the table, which is dry and hard and black, and there are a few unburned incense sticks in the copper incense burner.

Fat Toutuo walked over and looked at the incense burner, and smelled a strange aroma in his nostrils.

"It's such a strange fragrance. It seems to be a strange fragrance that I haven't been exposed to before?"

Lord Honglun was born in the Zunxing Sect of Kamikaze Kingdom. People in the sect often burn incense and pray. He has also been exposed to various spices. He is also very clear about the process of making and refining incense, and the characteristics of various spices. There are so many treasures in his family, but this time when he smelled this strange fragrance, he couldn't tell the difference.

"Junior brother!"

At this moment, Fat Toutuo heard a familiar voice. Because it was so familiar, he instantly realized that it was the voice of Lord Black Sky, one of the Five Colored Gods of Wealth.

"Senior Brother Heitian, why are you here?"

Lord Honglun raised his head and suddenly found his senior brother Black Sky Dharma Lord, holding a lantern in his hand, appearing at the stairway of the second floor. He said expressionlessly: "Come up quickly, I have discovered something. "

"What discovery?"

Lord Honglun asked quickly.

"I found a mirror, which may have some connection with the forbidden formation in Xiaojing Villa. Come up quickly!"

Lord Black Sky's face remained expressionless as he spoke, but the flame of the lantern shone on his face, revealing a hint of strangeness.

"good!"

Lord Honglun had no doubts and strode towards the stairs.
