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

At this moment, the golden talisman in He Ping's hand shone brightly, and a metallic sound sounded in the air, accompanied by the sound of chains pulling. Suddenly, chains flew in like a swarm of poisonous snakes and penetrated into the golden talisman. Among the symbols.

"This is?"

He raised his head, his eyes gradually moved from parallel to upward, and he could see that the giant red copper arm was entangled with countless chains, and was forcibly pulled by these long iron chains. The surface was shining with large mysterious rune patterns, bit by bit. was being pulled.

This scene was extremely astonishing. The golden talisman drew ripples in the air, releasing a strong suction force. The chains all over the sky rolled up into vortexes like a group of snakes and merged into the golden talisman, along with the huge red copper arm. , shrunk and sucked into the golden talisman.

In the end, it was like a gust of wind roaring past, leaving nothing behind.

The sound of the chain disappeared from the air, the brightness of the dazzling light that illuminated the surroundings just now decreased, and the golden talisman fell down and returned to his hand.

"I really didn't expect it."

He Ping looked at the golden talisman in his right hand.

"This golden talisman can also suck the giant red copper arm into it, which saves me a lot of energy."

He stretched out his index finger and touched the golden talisman lightly.

The index finger touched one side of the golden talisman, and a faint red light lit up there, as if in response.

The faint red light that lights up on the golden talisman is actually countless rune patterns as small as fly characters, which are so complicated that ordinary people will feel dizzy just by looking at them.

"The origin of this golden talisman is very extraordinary. I don't know what it has to do with the Shibi Sect. It doesn't look like it is completely Shibi Sect. It seems to be mixed with other Taoism. Could it be related to the Hunyuan Sect? ?”

The ancient cemetery palace that Wangji and others found belonged to a master from the Hunyuan Sect. That person joined the Shibi Sect only after betraying the Hunyuan Sect. This also meant that this person should be familiar with both Hunyuan and Shibi Sect. The Taoism of the two religions.

This man's name is Dugu Lin. He was also a talented and famous Taoist master at the beginning. After rebelling against the sect, he was once hunted by many masters of the Hunyuan sect. However, this man was very capable and escaped from death many times. He also launched many counterattacks and had a deep feud with the Hunyuan Sect.

In order to avoid revenge, Dugulin was invited by the leader of the Shibi Cult to join the Shibi Cult, and even later became one of the strong candidates for the position of leader.

From Wangyun's memory, it is possible that Dugulin's identity is deeper than imagined. This person would enter the Hunyuan Sect just to steal this sect's entry method, and he would later enter the Corpse Boundary. Teaching also has other intentions.

Wangyun's senior brother Wangji deduced that Dugulin came from an ancient inheritance, a Taoist method from the ancient era. At the same time, he was also the most mysterious lineage among the 36 ways to enter the Taoism. This lineage likes to steal Taoist methods from various sects. Often lurking among various sects in the world of cultivation, Dugu Lin may be a disciple of this lineage.

As for the Taoism of this lineage, it is also very mysterious, or rather weird. The inheritance of this line always believes in the way of change of all things, and believes that everything in the world is always changing. Sentient people and animals can turn into ruthless stones, flowers and plants, and plants and trees can also metamorphose into people and animals.

This is a kind of ascension, but also a kind of transcendence. In this process, it is necessary to constantly transform and metamorphose, in order to transform it into all phenomena, transform it into all living beings, connect it into yin and yang, and transform it into emptiness into gods.

This way of change is the essence of the way of "transformation". Its true meaning is the way of seeking life and death and becoming a god, just like a snake can turn into a turtle, a sparrow can turn into a clam, an old maple can turn into a feathered man, and rotten wheat can turn into a human being. It can be transformed into a butterfly, a virtuous woman can be transformed into a chaste stone, an earthworm can be transformed into a lily, and both emotions and emotions can be transformed into each other.

The Taoism of this lineage believes that transformation takes "nine" as the extreme. That is to say, this process of divine transformation requires nine consecutive life and death transformations. Just like shedding one's skin, one sheds one's old body and transforms into nine life forms. Nine shocking transformations, until after nine transformations, a critical point will be reached.

Once this critical point is exceeded, it will enter the last great sublimation and the final ultimate change. When this change is over, you will be able to transcend, get rid of the boundaries of the cycle of life and death, and achieve immortality in another sense.

Masters of this lineage throughout the ages have been pursuing this process, but they are all lacking something and have never been able to succeed.

For this reason, people in this lineage will steal Dharma everywhere, stealing the fundamental Dharma of various sects in the spiritual world, hoping to gain inspiration from it. However, this kind of behavior is impossible to tolerate from the perspective of various sects in the spiritual world.

Later, the masters of this line changed their approach. On the one hand, they spread the fragments of the Nine Transformations in the world, and on the other hand, they secretly conducted various weird experiments to pursue the ultimate one after the nine transformations. Change.

For example, the disciple of "Plague Doctor" Sun Huai, that is, the "Silkworm Sutra" passed down by the "Eight Parts of Diseases and Ten Plagues", is probably a Taoist method spread by the Jiuyi lineage...except , there are also several ancient scriptures, all of which are methods evolved from the ancient scriptures of the Nine Slough lineage.

These methods all have problems and serious drawbacks. For example, the sect of Namasura's childhood, Jindan Dao, was taught by a local master. While digging a grave, he found a copy of "The Medicinal Silkworm Sutra". ", there are many elixir prescriptions recorded in the Medicine Classic, which mainly use various Fei Lianjin elixirs, yellow and white, and the methods of refining and taking them.

However, there are problems with this scripture itself. It should also belong to the Taoism spread by the Jiuyi lineage. The methods recorded in this kind of scriptures and Taoism books are themselves experimental in nature. The result of forced practice will inevitably be to become possessed.

"The scriptures spread by the Nine Sloughs lineage are all related to 'silkworms'. They should imitate the transformation of silkworms to take their names. According to their habits, there should be nine ancient scriptures named after silkworms. To the extreme, this is also the style of this lineage.”

He Ping could see clearly from Yunji's memory, Wangji's inference, and himself. He got some clues and pieced together the information about Jiuyi's lineage.

"This lineage also wants to steal the Taoist methods of the Immortal Puppet Sect." He thought about it carefully and came to a terrible conclusion, that is, the Jiuyi lineage should know some of the Immortal Puppet Sect's methods, maybe not many. But it is enough for Dugu Lin or a real master in the sect to understand the method of refining the red copper arm. Otherwise, the red copper arm would not be sealed in this golden talisman.

"However, the magic of our Immortal Puppet Sect is not so easy to steal. The Five Oaths of the Puppet Sect are like a firewall. It is not that easy to penetrate..."

He Ping sighed, but this golden talisman finally gave him an advantage.

"The White Bone Flag Sect and the White Bone Ring must also be taken back. These two magical artifacts were also refined by Dugulin himself. They incorporate the Taoism of the Hunyuan and Shibi sects. These two treasures belong to the same owner. Defend and attack as the main attack, and together they are extremely powerful.”

In addition, whether it is the White Bone Flag Gate or the White Bone Ring, it is difficult to work against a Taoist master like himself who has mastered the treasure of Yuji Immortal Mirror. This is why Wangji wants to use this red copper giant arm to kill him. Own.

"This plan is not bad, but it's a pity that it happened to me."

He Ping shook his head. He took out two straw puppets from his sleeves and put them into Wangji and Yunji's bodies, temporarily turning them into his own flesh puppets.

"Yunji, go and sort out the affairs of the inner sect, gather all the remaining sect members, and remember to leave the bone ring... As for Wangji, give me the bone flag sect you are wearing as well."

The two meat puppets did not resist and followed his instructions.

After Yunji left, Wangji stayed.

He Ping glanced at the background of the departing Yunji, turned around, and looked at the huge altar behind him.

This altar is like a huge stone millstone. There is an extremely deep notch on it, which is the rune pattern engraved on it. There is a faint trace of blood in each notch, as if it was leftover from sacrifices in the past. of.

In addition, there is a green fire in the center of the altar, burning out of thin air.

"The existence of this altar should have some relationship with the giant red copper arm. I don't know what will happen after I take away the giant red copper arm with the golden talisman?"

He frowned, and finally felt relieved. Anyway, the giant red copper arm was originally a thing of the Immortal Puppet Sect, so it was fine if it was taken away by him. Even if the altar had any other uses, it had nothing to do with him.

"Wangji, the "Kongkong Sutra" that your Kongkong Sect's inner sect has guarded for generations, as well as the artifacts at the formation hub of Guapaoling are all hidden here, right?"

He said calmly: "Take them all out for me?"

Wangji's eyes were empty. He obeyed He Ping's instructions and nodded slightly. Then, he raised his sleeves and stretched out his half-corrupted right hand. With just a grasp of the void, he used his superb "Star Reaching Hand".

On the altar, the green fire suddenly stagnated, and several objects flew out from it.

He Ping laughed, and with a strange force all over his body, he sucked all these things into his shadow.

…

The White Bone Flag Gate and White Bone Ring refined by Dugu Lin also fell into the hands of He Ping. However, these two magical artifacts are imprinted with thoughts and need to be refined with demon seeds. As for the original "Kong Kong Sutra" that has been passed down by the Nakong Kongmen for generations. , and the inheritance sect of "Star Reacher" were also obtained by him.

"Is this the "Kong Kong Sutra"? It's a little different from what I imagined."

He took out an amber crystal stone body, and sealed in the stone body was an ancient stone slab with some runes engraved on it.

"What kind of ore is this? Why have I never heard of it? Is this thing used to seal this stone slab?"

He Ping obtained some information from the memory of Yunji, one of the elders of the inner sect. This information was also inherited by the Kongkong Sect in the past generations, and its content was more shocking than some gossip in the cultivation world.

He stretched out his hand and touched the crystal stone body. Its color was like amber, transparent and flawless, and he could even see an ancient stone slab the size of a palm hidden inside. The stone tablet is the main body of the Kong Kong Sutra.

The runes on the "Kongkong Sutra" are all complicated patterns, like ghost-drawn runes, mysterious and difficult to understand.

This kind of rune is not even recorded in the ancient Taoist scriptures, and it cannot be read. If you want to understand the "Kongkong Sutra" and the magical function of the star-catching hand, you can only inject your own mind power into it. This ancient stone slab is similar to a storage device. The Siyu Talisman can turn memories into fragments and absorb them into them, which will not dissipate for thousands of years.

According to Yun Ji's memory, the "Kongkong Sutra" has been sealed in this strange stone since the three inner sect elders took charge of the inner sect. According to the inheritance of the Kongkong Sect, the "Kongkong Sutra" came from an extraterrestrial meteorite. .

The meteorite hit the ground, and this stone slab was embedded in it. Moreover, this stone slab contained a terrible strange power. Every night at midnight, it would emit a light green light. If people and animals came close, it would be contaminated. It will die within a few days, and all the blood will be withered, and the death will be miserable.

The only exception is Jing Jing'er, the "ancestral master of stealing the sky" who has obtained the "Kong Kong Sutra". He was the first person to come into contact with the meteorite. He was still a shepherd boy, and he secretly hid the stone slab because he thought it was fun. .

For some unknown reason, he was the only one in the village where the meteorite was discovered that was not affected by the meteorite and the slate. Instead, he became more energetic and physically stronger, as if he had gained some kind of benefit from the meteorite and the slate. On the contrary, the people around Jing Jing'er died of exhaustion and exhaustion one after another due to the meteorite.

Patriarch Jingjing'er must have noticed this. The reason why he was immortal was because the stone slab he obtained absorbed the vitality of the people around him and integrated it into Jingjing'er's body. He also benefited greatly from this. .

However, because of this festival, all his parents and family members died. Jing Jing'er drifted away after his parents died. No one knew where he went as a child at the time. Ten years later, as an adult, he returned again and took away the meteorite and the slate hidden near the abandoned village. .

Later, the shepherd boy became the founder of Kongkongmen.

"This experience is also very strange? Also, does this slate really come from outside the world? Where did Jingjing'er find the strange ore that seals this slate...?"

He thought secretly for a while, and finally shook his head, not knowing how to explain this problem.

It can only be said that there are too many unsolved mysteries in the world of cultivation, and few people can answer them.

"Furthermore, there are still too many unanswered questions about Luohun Cave, and the purpose of this ancient altar is also unknown."

He Ping glanced behind him. He had taken away the giant red copper arm. Unfortunately, this ancient altar still existed.

"The origin of the altar in the Soul-Lunar Cave is also very mysterious. It's best not to disturb it."

Out of caution, he did not check the altar too much, but chose to withdraw.

"Also, the three elders of the inner sect have been in charge of the inner sect for so many years, and they have a lot of good things. This time they can be considered a windfall."

After leaving the Luohun Cave, He Ping quickly moved to a Taoist palace in Guapao Ridge. This is a place used for discussions in the inner sect. On weekdays, elders and some high-ranking figures in the inner sect also come. He would preach here or give guidance to the disciples of the inner sect.

He Ping is now sitting on the highest seat in this Taoist palace, with one hand on the side of his face and his eyes lightly scanning the bottom.

The disciples of the inner sect were all summoned again. They were all planted with demon seeds, and they stood expressionless one by one.

Wangji, Yunji and Yu Buxin stood behind him.

"Are there only that many people in the inner sect?"

"yes."

Yun Ji nodded. He was different from his senior brother Wang Ji whose soul was almost extinct. His soul was replaced by a demon species. From the outside, his whole person looked not much different from the past. On the other hand, his senior brother Wang Ji's eyes were hollow, as if he was demented. .

"My Lord, the Inner Sect has only a small number of people. These people are already the elites of the Inner Sect. Each one of them is a master of assassination. The Inner Sect often takes on missions of lurking, assassinating, and gathering intelligence. If they can control the Inner Sect, at least On Nanling Road, our influence is not trivial, even some forces in the imperial court will use us to do some things."

This sentence was said by Yu Buxin. After all, his situation was much better. Compared to the two inner sect elders, he had only had his memory tampered with by the demon species and his mind distorted. He did not have any mental problems.

At this time, the old Taoist priest was still giving He Ping advice.
