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

There was no sound outside, and the ghost scholar's heart was full of uneasiness. Although he was from the Ghost Crying Sect, after coming to this Xiaojing Villa and encountering various situations, he gradually lost his confidence.

In addition to being a formation in itself, Death Mirror Villa also houses various dangerous demons and ghosts. After he entered the manor, he sensed several extremely dangerous auras, among which there seemed to be a thousand-year-old powerful and evil spirit inhabiting it. In this manor, these auras were just vague and unpredictable, but he also knew where they were going.

Originally, Miao Sanyin was still behind him, but in a blink of an eye, she disappeared. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"This sect can control powerful ghosts, control evil ghosts, and control thousands of ghosts and ghosts. After the sacrifice, the magical power becomes more and more powerful... But on the other hand, if the ghosts encountered are too powerful, they may be possessed by the ghosts. Counterattack..."

"As the saying goes, 'Flying geese all day long, you will be pecked out and blinded by geese.' People in our sect are good at controlling ghosts, and countless people have died at the hands of monsters and ghosts. Just like those who tame wild beasts, they are most likely to be eaten by wild beasts!"

"Furthermore, because the secret techniques practiced by our sect to suppress three graves and cultivate three lives can easily be turned into ghost treasures, in the eyes of powerful demons and ghosts, our disciples of the Ghost Crying Sect are also delicious. Powerful ghosts only need to eat our disciples of the Ghost Crying Sect." The disciple's flesh and blood can increase his skill and improve his cultivation..."

Thinking of this, he stayed in this dark courtyard, alone and wide-eyed, looking around.

The ghost scholar didn't know if there were demons hiding here. The moment Miao Sanyin disappeared, he vaguely felt something, but when he turned around, the strange aura flashed past without leaving any trace...

"call!"

He exhaled calmly, and the flesh on his face twisted. Under his eyes, on both sides of his cheeks, two strange eyes broke through the flesh and came out. They were a pair of blood-red eyes. His eyes, the narrow pupils were glowing with blood.

These are not human eyes, but ghost eyes implanted in him. At the same time, the living aura of the ghost scholar also faded a bit, his whole body became bitingly cold, and even his shadow projected on the ground became extremely thin and light.

Ghosts have no shadows. The ghost scholar is a disciple of the Ghost Crying Sect. He practices mostly evil techniques and specializes in merging ghosts into the body. There are several evil ghosts living in his body. Half of his body has been transformed into a ghost. The ghost body and the shadow slowly faded.

"One day, my body will not even have a shadow. It corresponds to the four words 'no shadow in the sun'. That is the sect's magical power, but I don't know if it is me who has perfected this magic. The ghost in me..."

The ghost scholar murmured to himself in his heart, and then his blood-colored ghost eyes slowly opened, and everything in his field of vision turned blood red. The ghost scholar suddenly raised his head, revealing a lifeless face.

Everything in his eyes glowed red, and at the same time, his senses became more and more sensitive. He could clearly capture the surrounding smells and the flow of the air.

The "ghost eyes" he implanted have a very unusual origin. They can strengthen the five senses. That is, after implanting these eyes, in addition to gaining the vision of demons and ghosts, they can also gain the perception of ghosts.

The ghost scholar looked around again. In his ghost eyes, the courtyard was covered with weeds, and there was also a huge old tree. The bark was rough, like the wrinkles on an old man's face. The branches were twisted, but the leaves were lush.

The fox sleeps in ruins, and the rabbit wanders into ruins. This courtyard is very desolate and empty. Except for a piece of desolate weeds, it is this big tree, the dirty pool, and the east, west, and south sides. Gray and white walls and arched door to the south.

"Can't even the ghost eye see any flaws?"

The ghost scholar was almost speechless.

This "ghost eye" is already the most powerful method for detecting ghosts among the methods he currently has.

"I'm not afraid of ordinary ghosts, but if there is an evil spirit that can steal away the wonderful three sounds silently, I may not be its opponent!"

The worry of the ghost scholar,

Bang bang bang.

Suddenly there was a slight knock on the door from outside the courtyard.

"Is there someone knocking on the door?"

He immediately looked at the arch door, and the knocking came from behind the door. However, he had no idea why there was a knocking at this time!

The ghost scholar's eyes were filled with nervousness.

His ghost eyes couldn't tell the truth, which proved that the opponent's strength was much higher than his. The more urgent the knock on the door, the more impatient he felt in his heart.

The knocking sound also became rapid at this time.

Bang bang, bang bang bang!

The yard also became extremely cold.

It's dark and sinister.

The knocking on the door did not stop, but became more and more urgent. The ghost scholar felt even more anxious, and he didn't know what to do at this time.

He couldn't even sense what was behind the door?

Crunch——

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

A vague figure exuding a cold aura walked out from behind the door.

"Who are you?"

The ghost scholar let out a loud roar, and in the next second, his voice cut off like a chicken that had been strangled.

After a while, the courtyard was empty.

There was silence in the courtyard, everything was silent.

…

He Ping walked on a long corridor. He passed through the corridor and came to the interior of a mansion building. As soon as he entered the door, there was a patio. On both sides of the patio were the east and west wings. Directly opposite was the living room with long windows. There is another long passage to the south.

His footsteps gradually slowed down, and his eyes wandered around. The ground, walls, windowsills, and corridors were all covered with thick dust, as if no one had lived there for many years. Several windows in the rooms along the corridor were also open and shaking slightly.

"After entering the Taoist realm, I can already identify and sense the vitality of heaven and earth," He Ping sighed slightly.

"It just so happens that the formation in this ghost place is a bit special. Even the perception ability at the Dao level can interfere with it!"

He sighed softly, and the ink-colored firelight floating on his right shoulder swayed slightly.

When you enter the realm of Taoism, your spiritual awareness is between the dark and the dark, and you can sense the vitality of heaven and earth. After cultivating to this point, you can collect Qi and use the "Xuan Guan Yi" that you have opened as a window to absorb all kinds of vitality that you need. , evil spirit, gang energy.

If you take the essence, you can strengthen your own essence and increase your longevity. By absorbing different evil spirits and gangster energies, you can also refine various spells or supernatural powers.

In addition, the existence of the "profound entrance orifice" will also enhance the spiritual sense of the monks, and their consciousness can expand beyond the five senses through the fluctuation of the vitality of heaven and earth.

Ordinary monks can also rely on the mental power of their souls to spontaneously overflow from the body to sense the surrounding conditions. As for the masters who have entered the Tao, their minds are more powerful. They can control the fluctuations of thirty feet of heaven and earth vitality, and hundreds of feet of dust and sand inside and outside. When it hits the ground, you can hear the sound.

However, after entering this small mountain villa, his perception ability was also affected, and he was unable to cover the powerful soul power hundreds of feet away. In this small villa, the space was distorted everywhere, even if it was powerful Even though his mind fluctuates, he cannot penetrate the blockade and sense the outside world.

He checked the living room and found nothing. Suddenly, an extremely subtle sound sounded.

"..."

He Ping turned his head and suddenly saw the end of the corridor. In the corner, a white figure flashed away, and then he heard a burst of rapid footsteps, quickly moving away.

With a thought, he directed his majestic spiritual power towards the area where the shadow left, but it was in vain.

The corner of the corridor was empty, with no one around, no objects, and no smell of any living thing.

His figure seemed to change shape, and he stepped over in one step. He checked around, but there was no trace.

"Something interesting..."

He Ping sneered. Even if he didn't use all his strength to hide his cultivation, it wouldn't be difficult to win over someone.

But as soon as he took action, he unexpectedly missed, and even his own perception had no effect.

"There is only one way here. Even if you want to escape, there is nowhere to escape..."

He glanced at the passage ahead. The ground was very dusty, but there was a line of small shoe prints walking through the dust.

"Shoe prints?"

He looked forward and continued to walk forward for a while. After exiting the corridor, he came to a courtyard. In this courtyard, there was also a pavilion with five-colored ribbons hanging on it to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings.

He continued to check, but found nothing. At this moment, he heard a cough coming from a wing in the courtyard.

"Cough...cough cough cough!"

He Ping narrowed his eyes. The direction of the sound was from one of the wing rooms. The door of the wing room was tightly closed. There were several yellow talisman papers stuck on the vermilion door. In addition, the windows of the wing room also had the same Talisman paper is also attached.

"These runes are runes to ward off ghosts and evil spirits..."

The fire on his shoulder lit up, and he looked at it. In an instant, he recognized that these talismans contained some power to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, so he stretched out his hand, intending to touch the talismans.

"Don't touch it!!!"

At this moment, an unusually old voice came from the wing.

"Junior, this talisman is a restriction set up by me. Do not touch it. This restriction is specially designed to restrain ghosts and evil spirits. However, if it is stained with human life, the effect will be greatly reduced. If you mess around, this restriction will be broken. Got it!"

"Who are you?"

He Ping asked in the tone of "Plague Doctor" Sun Huai: "Why is Your Majesty huddled alone in a place like this? This talisman formation is obviously made to drive away evil spirits. This kind of restriction is indeed not easy to be contaminated by strangers. You set up this formation here to avoid the evil spirits in this manor."

Hearing He Ping's inquiry, the old man hiding in the room also wondered: "Could it be that you are also a practitioner? Otherwise, how could you recognize my talisman array restriction? Indeed, I am hiding here, that is To avoid a powerful demon in this manor!"

"A powerful demon?"

He Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and asked again: "By the way, please give me your surname."

"Oh, my surname is Shi and my name is Yulou. I am the owner of this small mirror villa. Outsiders call me the owner of Shizhuang."

He Ping's eyes lit up after hearing what the old man said.

"You are Shi Yulou, the owner of Xiaojingshan Villa. However, as far as I know, Xiaojingshan Villa was destroyed two years ago, and no one in the whole village was spared. Are you alive or dead? ?”

"Of course I am a living person, otherwise why would I hide in this talisman array and linger..."

The old man smiled bitterly: "I am indeed Shi Yulou, and Xiaojing Villa is indeed the only one who died. However, this matter is a long story. If you are willing to listen to my explanation, I can tell you the whole story. "

"Okay, just say it..."

He Ping nodded and said to the old man hiding in the wing: "I also want to know why the master of Shizhuang is trapped here."

"It's a long story. In addition to being a merchant, I, Shi Yulou, also secretly practice Taoism..."

Shi Yulou spoke eloquently, claiming that he was also a practitioner, but he came from a sect of casual practitioners.

The identity of a merchant is just an identity used by him as a disciple of the casual cultivator sect to cover up. Using the identity of a merchant, on the one hand, he can obtain money, and on the other hand, it also facilitates his wandering around the world to collect cultivation materials and elixirs.

"Suddenly one day, the master brother of my sect came to me. He said mysteriously that he had found an opportunity and invited me to share with him a method of becoming an immortal. The name of this method of becoming an immortal It is called the 'Spiritual Mirror Technique'. This secret technique was accidentally discovered by the master brother in a secret cave on Tongbai Mountain..."

"In the secret cave, there was a white skeleton, sitting cross-legged, wearing a Taoist robe. Directly opposite, there was also a bronze mirror. My senior brother and I checked it, and found a jade on the skeleton. There is a Taoist scroll inside the box, which records a spiritual mirror method."

"This secret method requires you to first refine a fairy mirror. The mirror can form a world of its own. You can practice it day and night with the spiritual mirror. When you reach a certain level, you can enter concentration and put your soul into the world in the mirror. Even if he When the physical body is decaying, you can also use the 'Spiritual Mirror Technique' to hide it in the mirror to extend your life. In addition, you can also use the fairy mirror to absorb the physical body and seal it in the mirror..."

The "Spiritual Mirror Technique" discovered by Shi Yulou and his senior brother can be regarded as a life-extending method for outsiders. After it is completed, it can extend the life of the yin, and even seal the physical body and delay one's own life. It can also be regarded as a unique method. of tactic.

"Spiritual Mirror Technique" is not a righteous way to enter the Tao, so there is no talk of immortality. It is just that after it is completed, the life span will be longer than that of ordinary people. However, it is more clever than ordinary life-extending magic, and that is the ability to use the fairy mirror to absorb the magic. Take the flesh body and freeze your own body.

"Using the 'Spirit Mirror Technique' to seal one's body and soul can extend one's life. For example, as long as the self sealed in the mirror is well preserved, the mind will fall into a state of silence and ashes... even if it takes two hundred or three hundred years. In the next year, as long as you restart the spiritual mirror, you will be able to come back to life!"

Shi Yulou explained.

"This secret method is of no use to ordinary monks, but if you are a seriously injured monk or a person who is seeking revenge from a powerful enemy, you can use the 'Spirit Mirror Technique' to seal yourself, get through the crisis first, and wait until you escape the disaster, and then start again Unsealing it can be regarded as escaping."

"Isn't this cryo-sleep?"

He Ping thought for a while and felt that this was the cryo-sleep mentioned in science fiction novels. However, this thing could not really extend the life span. It only relied on sealing and freezing the body to temporarily hibernate.

"Furthermore, this 'Spiritual Mirror Technique' seems to have a very big flaw. After being sealed, your own consciousness is also frozen and sealed, and you fall into a state of silence. Once sealed in the mirror, you have no way to unblock yourself. If there is no external help, I am afraid that I will always be sealed in the mirror, and the day of eternal liberation..."

"What you said is correct."

Shi Yulou also smiled bitterly.

"My senior brother and I also know this. Just because we were not good at practicing when we were young, we went astray and left a legacy of disaster. This 'Spiritual Mirror Technique' may not be of any use to others, but it is a gift from God to the two of us. This is a good opportunity. My senior brother and I just want to use this method to extend our lives and stay alive to get a glimmer of hope...

After that, we also left instructions to order the children in the family to visit the major immortal sects, hoping that one day, some talented people in the family would be accepted into the Immortal Sect Holy Land, and then try to rescue us from the trouble. To put it bluntly, this is also an expedient method. However, neither my senior brother nor I expected that just because of this idea, it would bring great disaster to the Shi family and me! "

"Could it be that the 'spiritual mirror technique' itself is a trap!"

He Ping just thought about it for a moment and guessed that Shi Yulou and his senior brother might have encountered a "trap" carefully prepared by others.

"exactly!"

Shi Yulou laughed bitterly again.

"The 'Spiritual Mirror Technique' is just a bait thrown into the water, and all it does is 'the one who wishes to take the bait'... The fairy mirror that my senior brother and I grew up with actually has an owner, and there is something hidden inside. There is a powerful demon, a ferocious ghost! The ghost in the mirror uses this fairy mirror to harm people!"
