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

In the deep mountains of southern Xinjiang, Chi Xinzi, dressed in green robes, was hiding under a towering ancient tree. Suddenly, he raised his head, as if he had some kind of feeling, and looked into the distance, only to see a sound coming from deep in the mountains. There was a dull roar, followed by several earth-shattering explosions.

"The trap has been triggered, but it doesn't seem to be of any use to this beast!"

Chi Xinzi sighed slightly, turned his head, glanced at Lou Chongxiao and Nansha Diaosou who were panting behind him, and shook his head in his heart.

"It is indeed a bit troublesome to carry these two burdens and avoid the pursuit of the Xuanyin Demon Mandrill. However, without these two people, it is difficult to find the Jin Chanfei taught by A Zhali. It is indeed a bit troublesome!"

After Chixinzi rescued the two brothers Lou Chongxiao and Nansha Diaosou outside Tianyu City, he quickly headed to the mountains of southern Xinjiang. The Qihun Sect sent masters like Yang Quanzi to come forward, and there were eight out of ten who could follow him. Nine, there are also people from the Ten Thousand Dharma Alliance or the Qihun Sect, who will catch up sooner or later.

He was very smart. After taking the two of them away, he immediately went deep into the wild mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang. The terrain here was complex, the mountains were overgrown with thorns, miasma was rampant, poisonous insects were rampant, swamps were everywhere, and various monsters were lurking. For anyone, It is said that it is an extremely dangerous bad land.

Chi Xinzi knew that if he ran in other directions, he would most likely be overtaken by the masters. Only by entering the southern border could he use the convenience of the terrain to confuse the enemy and get rid of the masters who were following him.

However, he did not expect to encounter a Xuanyin Demon Mandrill on the mountains of southern Xinjiang. This Xuanyin Demon Mandrill should be one of the several Demon Mandrills that escaped from the Abyss Realm.

Xuanyin Demon Mandrill is one of the nine great monsters and one of the most powerful monster groups in the world. This kind of monster is far superior to other monsters as soon as it is born. It transforms from a larvae into an adult very quickly and has a natural lifespan. Just very long.

Demonic mandrills like cold and fear heat, and can absorb the condensed Qi of the poor yin such as Xuanshuangsha or Ziwu cold wave, strengthen themselves, and condense into a demon pill.

Once the Xuanyin Demon Mandrill successfully holds the elixir, its strength will be completely transformed. After another period of intensive training, its combat power will be comparable to that of a master who has entered the Tao. Chi Xinzi and his group were very unlucky to encounter a Xuanyin Demon Mandrill whose strength was comparable to that of a Taoist.

Demonic mandrills are similar to monsters such as mandrills. They both like to eat people and are extremely vicious. The strong ones in this race prefer to devour the flesh and blood of monks because their flesh and blood is more nutritious.

Chi Xinzi was not afraid of the Xuanyin Demon Mandrill. He just knew that once he spent too much time entangled with the Xuanyin Demon Mandrill, he would easily attract the attention of others.

Chi Xinzi was originally meant to lead people to escape. If he made too much noise or was too ostentatious, he might be overtaken by those behind him. What's more, since he left Tianyu City, he had a strange feeling, a feeling of being watched by something.

It's a pity that even though he deliberately avoided this demonic mandrill, this demon was obsessed with him and chased after the three of them all the way.

Chi Xinzi was helpless and had to cleverly set a trap to temporarily trap the big monster for a few hours.

"However, this demonic mandrill is so powerful that it is equivalent to a Taoist. Without the combat power of a Taoist, he cannot defeat this beast!"

He sighed, feeling a little pity. If the main body was here, with the trap set, he might have a chance to catch a Xuanyin Demon Mandrill alive.

Such ferocious monsters can be used as the main material for refining puppets. It can be said that there is nothing better.

"These people are all here for that Laozi's 'Shang's Seal'. I don't know what is so special about this ancient seal that will attract these people to hunt down Lou Chongxiao?"

Chi Xinzi is playing with a nose button jade seal in his hand. The jade seal is blue-white in color and is made from a square of ancient jade. There is no text on the seal surface, it is a human face. This is a human face jade seal.

This ancient seal is the "Shang Ji Seal". It was originally sealed into Lou Chongxiao's chest. After Chi Xinzi rescued him, he managed to take out the jade seal "embedded" in his body.

Later, he learned from Lou Chongxiao that the jade seal came from the Hunyuan lineage and was stolen from the Liyan Cave in the Xuancoffin Mountain by Lou Chongxiao and a master disciple of the Qihun Sect.

The Liyan Cave in Hanging Coffin Mountain is the place where the founder of the Hunyuan Sect, the "Leader of the Six Heavens of Hunyuan Dharma", became enlightened. It is also the place where the Hunyuan Sect opened its veins. The Liyan Cave itself is also a secret realm in the cave, but the inside has declined. , became a dangerous place.

The Liyan Cave in Hanging Coffin Mountain is the starting point of the Hunyuan Sect, and it is also the secret realm of the cave. Even if it declines, it cannot be underestimated. What's more, it is the place where countless masters of the Hunyuan Sect retreat and practice hard, and it contains many rare treasures and relics. Treasure, every few decades, when the restrictions on Liyan Cave are relaxed, monks will try to break into it, trying to steal various opportunities left by the masters of the Hunyuan Sect.

"By the way, Lou Chongxiao," Chi Xinzi rubbed the ancient seal, seemed to think of something again, and turned to ask him.

"Are you really not clear about the purpose of this 'Shang's Seal'? If so, then why do people from the Qihun Sect, as well as Ba Tianshi and others come to hunt you down?"

"Holy Messenger."

Lou Chongxiao lowered his head with a sincere face and said: "How could I deceive the Holy Envoy? This treasure, 'Shang's Seal', was accidentally obtained when I killed Qing Yuzi, the senior fellow of the Yin Yang Xiu Shi. I know exactly what is so special about this object, but I heard that this treasure seal is somewhat related to the ruins of an ancient fairy palace, and I don’t know any other information.”

When Chixinzi heard this, he frowned tightly. He would be called a holy messenger by these two people, because he took out the gold page given to him by Aganyizha Buddha.

The gold page itself is a kind of token, which contains the aura of Agany Zha Buddha. The believers and disciples of Baimi Azhali Sect can identify it. Lou Chongxiao and Nansha Diaosou, since they are Azhali Naturally, the four great protectors of the teaching would not doubt Chi Xinzi's identity and would obey his words.

"The ruins of the Ancient Immortal Palace?"

Chi Xinzi touched his chin, glanced at Nansha Diaosou again, and asked in a deep voice: "You, since you are coming here, you must have heard some news, right?"

"The news I got is similar to that of my junior brother."

Nansha Diaosou also sounded sincere. He heard that Lou Chongxiao was being hunted, so he came here to help.

"I just heard that this 'Shang's Seal' has some relationship with a relic of the ancient Yunxiao Taoist Palace. I don't have any more detailed information."

"Yunxiao Dao Palace?"

Chi Xinzi felt a little surprised. This is a very ancient sect. It is said that it once mastered a powerful Taoist method. In the old times, it was also one of the top ten sects among the 36 Taoist methods.

During its heyday, the Yunxiao Taoist Palace was as powerful as the Taiyi Taoist Palace and the Sanyuan Demon Palace. It was a great sect with astonishing foundations and once dominated the entire Beiguan Dao.

Unfortunately, this large sect later encountered a great catastrophe in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Taoist methods it inherited also collapsed due to the distortion of the way of heaven, and were directly removed from the 36 methods of Taoism.

Later, the entire sect also suffered a terrible disaster. Natural and man-made disasters broke out at the same time. Everyone in the sect suffered a heavy blow and disappeared from sight.

"The Taoist method of Yunxiao Taoist Palace is said to be related to music and rhythm. It pursues 'the simplicity of the road and the sound of great music'. The core of its Taoist method is divided into 'Earth', 'Ren' and 'Tian'. Its Tao The Dharma is high and far-reaching, embodies the way of nature, and has the style of ancient sages..."

Chi Xinzi read the ancient book, and the yellowed and dilapidated ancient scroll recorded every detail of the existence of the Yunxiao Taoist Palace.

"This is a powerful sect, I don't know why it was robbed!"

Chi Xinzi asked Lou Chongxiao and his senior brother Nansha Diaosou again. They did not hide anything and told him all the quick information they had.

"In the past, there was a rumor that the ancient Yunxiao Taoist Palace once built a treasure to suppress the religion. It was a fairy palace, but it later suffered a catastrophe and was knocked down to dust... There are some in the world of cultivation. The forces have been trying to find the whereabouts of the ruins of the ancient immortal palace in Yunxiao Dao Palace."

Nansha Diaosou replied in a 1510 manner.

"Also, some people think that the masters of the Hunyuan Sect have found the whereabouts of the ruins of the Immortal Palace. The Hunyuan Sect even plundered the ruins and transformed the main body into the most sacred treasure of the Hunyuan lineage." Nine-winged Golden Crow City'."

"There is indeed such a statement, but it is difficult to distinguish whether it is true or not, and the Hunyuan Sect has always denied this statement."

Lou Chongxiao shook his head, thinking this was just a rumor.

In fact, Chi Xinzi had heard of what these two people said, and he was not surprised at all. However, he did not expect that the "Shang Ji Seal" would be involved in such ancient rumors.

"This is a bit troublesome. Ever since I left Tianyu City and rescued two people, I have always had a feeling of being watched. Could it be that a master is watching me, or someone is using some magical weapon or something? Is it a secret method, tracking and calculating the location?"

Chi Xinzi secretly muttered that this was what he was most worried about. That Yang Quanzi was not dead. That man was also a Taoist master. He only damaged a soul clone, but his body was not affected.

This also shows that Yang Quanzi may have conveyed the news that Chi Xinzi had rescued the two people. Of course, this was also the result of Chi Xinzi's deliberate actions, but it would also lead to someone targeting Chi Xinzi.

There are some methods in the world of cultivation that can calculate and lock someone's position from thousands of miles away. This method of calculation has some limitations, but it is also very scary. Unless you master the secret of confusing the sky and cover up the existence of yourself. Only traces can hide everything, otherwise as long as a trace of breath leaks, the location may be detected.

Chi Xinzi began to think deeply. At this moment, his mind sensed He Ping in another place and immediately communicated with him.

…

"Chixinzi's side was actually being chased by the Xuanyin Demon Mandrill?"

He Ping had a conversation with Chi Xinzi and obtained a lot of information from him, and also learned the origin and information about the "Shang Xinzi".

"Lou Chongxiao has really caused a big trouble. This 'Shang's Seal' can be said to be a hot potato. Obtaining this object is likely to attract the attention of all major forces, whether it is the immortals of Yunxiao Dao Palace. Palace ruins, or the Nine-winged Golden Crow City of the Hunyuan Sect, anyway, as long as the news of this thing spreads, I am afraid that many people will try to take this ancient seal from Lou Chongxiao."

Shang Yuyin is indeed a good thing, but it means little to him. The ruins of the Immortal Palace in Yunxiao Dao Palace and the Nine-winged Golden Crow City are not of much help to him at the moment.

"I need to improve my strength as much as possible and step into the realm of manifesting the gods. Once treasures such as the Immortal Palace ruins or the Nine-Winged Golden Crow City are passed down to an entire sect, once they come out again, they will inevitably attract competition from big forces."

He Ping didn't want to cause trouble, so he decided to watch the situation temporarily. Even if Chi Xinzi took Lou Chongxiao and Nansha Diaosou with him, he still had enough strength to spare, so he didn't need to help.

"Let them continue to make more circles in the deep mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang to see if they can lure out the person hiding behind them..."

Yangquanzi of Qihun Sect will appear, and the worst result is that it will involve the Ten Thousand Laws Alliance formed by several major forces in the Nine Evils.

The Ten Thousand Laws Alliance is the product of a group of Taoist masters who joined together. Purple Armor Palace, Qi Soul Sect, Cursed Sword Sect, and Ghost Crying Sect have all joined it. To be honest, he does not want to provoke this strength.

"There is a local snake-level force like the Wu Nuo Sect in southern Xinjiang, which is native and rooted in the local area. I don't know if the news of Shang Yuyin's birth will reach the ears of the masters of the Wu Nuo Sect, otherwise it will be another news. A troublesome matter.”

After all, the Ten Thousand Laws Alliance is a foreign force. The real trouble is that if it encounters the Wu Nuo Sect, it will be difficult to end it.

"The only good thing is that I am well prepared for this trip. I have finally won the Kongkong Sect, one of the three major casual cultivating sects in Nanling Road. The next step is to contact the imperial court to explore the Abyss Realm."

He was not in a hurry about this matter, he could just leave it to Yu Buxin, who was in Kongkongmen.

On Nanling Road, the official force that interacts with the spiritual world is mainly the Marquis Helian sent by the imperial court. Marquis Helian has a high prestige in the military and is also the minister of border affairs.

However, this Marquis Helian is not the minister in charge of the Nanling Road. His main energy is focused on suppressing an entrance to the abyss in southern Xinjiang.

This entrance to the abyss is related to the dragon veins of Dayou's earth energy, and there is always a danger of going wild. Therefore, it needs a Taoist master with profound cultivation to suppress it for a long time.

On weekdays, in Nanling Road, the people in charge of affairs related to the cultivation world are the Nanling Road Xuanwei Envoy and a Taoist master from the border army. After all, only these three Taoist masters can jointly support the overall situation of Nanling Road. .

The imperial court also knew that the situation on Nanling Road was not stable, but the Taoist masters were not cats and dogs. The situation on Dongli Road and Xihuang Road was even worse. Beiguan Road was also facing the threat of the Tiele people. On the one hand, the left and right were weak, making it difficult to mobilize troops. increase manpower;

On the other hand, the imperial court also had too few talents to cope with the chaos in the world. If this were not the case, the imperial court would not tolerate scattered cultivating heretical forces such as Kongkongmen growing up in Nanling Road.
