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

After a fire broke out in Sui'an City, all the houses of the officials and people were burned to ashes. The government offices in the city were also burned down. Many government officials and inspection personnel were also burned to death.

In the end, even the prefect Sheng Qingzhi was missing, and the Sheng Mansion was burned in the fire. The fire was as fierce as a tiger, and all the young, old and weak were burned to death, and no one survived.

Wang Yuwen's family in the north of Zhenbei immediately sent people to take over the affairs of Sui'an City immediately, and sent a report to Futai Yamen to request relief. While appeasing the people, they sent people to investigate the situation in Sui'an City that night.

At the same time, the Demon Slayer Department in the capital also noticed that something fishy was going on in Sui'an City. Yang Yunjiao's body was soon found. Where he lay, the four characters "Mud Cult, Tu Du" were engraved on the soil beneath him.

The person who investigated the corpse concluded that this should be important information that Yang Baihu secretly hid before his death.

Later, the Evil Slayer found several of Yang Yunjiao's men in a collapsed mountain temple outside Sui'an City. Judging from the injuries on the bodies, they were the "coir raincoats" who died in the Sifang Altar of the Mud Sect. The tiger envoy" Tu Du's hand.

As a result, Zhenbei Wang Yuwen's family and Zhanxie Division both believed that this case had a lot to do with the Mud Cult, but they had serious differences on the facts of the case.

After the Yuwen family took over Sui'an City, they also followed up on the case. The Yuwen family suspected that there should be someone else who killed Yang Yunjiao and caused the fire in Sui'an City. The Mu Cult was just a scapegoat and was manipulated with ulterior motives. The intention of this generation is to divert attention secretly.

The Evil Slayer Division did not view it this way, but the Evil Slayer Division viewed the matter very clearly. Yang Yunjiao accidentally discovered the conspiracy of the Mu Cult in Beifu Prefecture. In order to slay demons, he started a big battle with them, but was killed after losing.

…

Many of the lowest-level personnel in the Evil Slaying Department are discussing this matter.

"Yang Baihu is undoubtedly a model of righteousness. He died at the hands of a cult demon. The family of Zhenbei Wang Yuwen still made a fuss about this matter. It really chills the hearts of the world!"

Some people gritted their teeth in anger.

"How can the Yuwen family's judgment be so arbitrary? And if there is no evidence, how can one conclude that something is fishy? Behind the corpses in the mountain temple, there are eight characters "Fire Buddha Xiu Yi Xin Sa Mo" engraved on the backs. , isn’t this clear and ironclad evidence?”

Some people shook their heads, confused by Beiguan Dao's actions.

"is not that right?"

Someone said angrily.

"Beiguan Road has always been dominated by the Yuwen family, and other forces are not allowed to easily intervene. Even the Futai Yamen has been emptied. The entire Northland is like an iron barrel managed by his Yuwen family."

"Over the years, those evil cults and left-wing people have frequently caused troubles on Dongli Road and Nanling Road, raised troops to cause trouble, disturbed troubles, and made the place unpeaceful... Hehe, but it happened that only Beidi Beiguan Road was not affected. The influence, I think, is that the Yuwen family has good management, and after a long time of doing it, this Northland is also a place where filth and evil practices are hidden!"

It seems that these words circulated within Bai Yujing's Evil Slayer Division were actually heard by the Yuwen family in Beiguan Road... Soon, there was a new move from Zhenbei Palace, and the Yuwen family directly reported to Xuelu Si handed over a secret letter, which fell directly into the hands of the fourth prince in charge of the Blood Law Department.

This secret letter revealed a shocking news, that is, the prefect Sheng Qingzhi was most likely the "Taoist son" of the Taoist Chongyang Palace. As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar.

"Sheng Qingzhi may be involved with Chongyang Palace. This matter is still under thorough investigation. If it is correct, then there are signs of Chongyang Palace's involvement in the Sui'an City case. This case is full of doubts and requires further investigation..."

As soon as the secret letter was exposed, all parties were involved in a turmoil.

"Chongyang Palace, why is Chongyang Palace involved again?"

"This is troublesome. Due to the affairs of the Mud Sect, the imperial court itself has been busy with the East and South Roads for a long time. If this causes the Taoist forces to be provoked..."

"I'm afraid this is not a good sign. Is Chongyang Palace really going to join the world? Also, a prefect of Shengqing dares to be so rebellious and involved with the Taoist sect..."

"No, what you should really worry about now is whether the Taoist sect is really secretly infiltrating the government of Dayou. What are those people planning?"

It has to be said that the actions of the Yuwen family have also further promoted the impact of the Beifu Prefecture case. The focus of the case has gradually changed from the case's skills to the invisible struggle between the multiple forces traveling between the government and the opposition.

But He Ping, who had created all this, escaped from the storm early and quietly withdrew from Beifu Prefecture with a large group of troops, moving from Beiguan Road to Guannai, which was the prosperous area centered on Zhonghuan Prefecture. , the middle land path among the five paths in the world.

…

He Ping, wearing a rich robe, a felt hat on his head, and a snow-colored mink fur coat, was sitting in a carriage.

The interior of this carriage is luxuriously decorated and extremely exquisitely designed. The horses are carried by two fine and famous horses with bright coats. The wheel axles are also designed to absorb shocks. The interior is beautifully decorated and covered with woven gold velvet carpets. Next to it are various wine and meal boxes, sweet and salty pastries, and seasonal fruits.

He stretched out his left hand to pick up a glass of rice wine, and while drinking, he admired the red maple leaves outside the window.

At this time, it had been two months since Suian City was hit by a fire. It was already deep in the season. The maple leaves outside were all dyed red, and the mountains lining it looked like a cloud of burning clouds.

He Ping admired the scenery for a moment, then focused his gaze back on his free right hand.

His right hand looks very ordinary. The skin color, nail color, and palm print are no different from ordinary palms. No one would guess that it is a reattached prosthetic limb.

In the past three months, He Ping transformed his right hand and changed both his hands into ghost hands. He also transformed the ghost hands he made.

He Ping's left and right hand puppet prostheses are new designs after several generations. In order to deceive others, he imitated the puppet that Wuyousheng made to fake death, using the shark skin of the sea silver shark and the gum of Thoreau wood. The simulated leather is made so that the appearance of his puppet prosthetic hand is not much different from that of a real person.

"The technology is not yet particularly mature. The hardness and weight of the prosthetic hand cannot completely imitate the texture of human flesh and blood. Wuyousheng's technology is really unpredictable. At present, I have no way to achieve his level..."

He patted his thigh with his modified right hand and thought of another thing.

"Speaking of which, that thing has been refined. According to my idea, maybe we can get a glimpse of the "Three Yang Tribulation" through this thing... It's a pity that I only have half of the 'Elixir Fire Talisman' in my hand, and the other Half of it is in the hands of senior brother..."

He Ping stretched out his hand and took out a small glass jar. There was a strange thing soaked in the jar. The thing was wrapped in bandages and soaked in light green liquid - the thing in the jar was the one that passed through Shengqing's body that day. Captured heart.

This heart has absorbed the power of the elixir fire talisman, and contains powerful energy inside. This energy is enough to ensure that the heart is full of activity and has not been affected by the death of the heart owner.

Sheng Qingzhi's heart was unique. After he took out the heart, his headless body collapsed like sand, but the heart was not affected in any way. In his opinion, this situation seemed to prove that the heart could Surviving independently is equivalent to becoming a life form independent of the individual, and the reason for this naturally lies in the elixir fire talisman in the heart.

"Only half of the elixir fire talisman has this effect similar to that of an 'immortal evil creature'. If I can transfer this strange characteristic to myself...many of the Immortal Puppet Sect's spells can be brought into the puppet itself. The nature of the magic is grafted and connected in series. If it is transferred to me, will I also obtain the immortal body of the 'immortal evil creature', or the power of the "Three Yang Tribulation" of Chongyang Palace?!"

He Ping recalled the matters related to the "heart-changing" method recorded in "The Invisible Secret". The method of heart-changing does not mean that you must change a demon's heart. The reason why the demon's heart was chosen is because of the demon's heart. The vitality is extremely strong.

The human body is extremely fragile. If it is replaced with organs that belong to humans, various rejection reactions will occur. However, the demon's organs have strong vitality and can adapt to the human body on their own, reducing this rejection and improving the weakening of the human body. Function, making mortals become as energetic as monsters.

"But this heart comes from the 'immortal evil creature'. After Sheng Qingzhi changes into that posture, his vitality is even stronger than that of the demon. If I can install this heart, wouldn't it be possible to reach the sky in one step?!"

His thoughts and inspirations came to him one after another, or he could install two hearts, and the mandrill's heart would provide him with demonic vitality;

The heart of the "immortal creature" gives him a body that is close to immortality, as well as the three yang tribulation powers of the Chongyang Palace. If his idea can succeed, then the "blood leakage" in his body may also be relieved...

But, how do I get a second heart? How to control this heart? By the way, maybe we can start with our own dual soul.

Just when his thoughts were about to stop, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Sir."

Qi Baiyi's voice came from the carriage window.

"Can you open the window? I have something to report."

Hearing Qi Baiyi's words, He Ping reached out and opened the curtain of the carriage.

"What happened?"

"It's like this," Qi Baiyi said in a deep voice: "There is a broken carriage ahead. There is a man in the carriage, and there are women and children with him. It is getting late, and these people hope to go with us."

Finally, he added something.

"The man's steps are steady and his breathing is long. He is a powerful practitioner. I saw a deep callus on his tiger's mouth. He should be a master of weapons. As for the female relatives, they are all ordinary people..."

He Ping stuck his head out of the window and saw a broken carriage on the side of the road. He was planning to go to a county called Fengtai County, where he planned to change his identity in order to avoid Beifu. That thing happened in Ancheng in Zhousui.

"Qi Baiyi, what do you think?"

He kept his eyebrows still and turned to ask Qi Baiyi who was riding on the horse.

After the incident in Sui'an City, the leader of the Huma Gang took the few remaining gang members to completely defect to He Ping and became one of his men.

"Sir, I think that in this remote area... I think that in order to avoid causing trouble, it is better not to have contact with these people."

Qi Baiyi responded in a deep voice.

(I have the same opinion...)

He Ping actually thought so too, but he turned around and glanced at the figures standing in front of the broken carriage, and found that one of them was wearing a green shirt, and his feet at the hem of the gown were wearing yamen clothes. Thin-soled fast boots.

"Thin-soled fast boots of this style seem to be worn only by officials in the government office. This man in a long gown is even called a good hand by Qi Baiyi. His ability should not be simple... I am afraid he is a policeman in the county government office. and so on."

He thought about it secretly, made up his mind, put away the jar containing the heart, and put on a smile.

"Forget it, just invite those people over and let them sit in the carriage while I stay outside and ride the horse."

"Sir, how can this be done?"

Qi Baiyi was a little shocked.

"The other party has brought their women. I can't stay together. There's no inconvenience in this carriage. Let them come in."

He Ping didn't wait for Qi Baiyi to say anything, he opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage. He cupped his fists and raised his hands to the people under the shade of the tree.

"If you guys...are not abandoned, you might as well go with me on the same journey. There happens to be someone who takes care of us."
