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

A bean flame lit up on the copper lampstand, and a figure sat in front of the lampstand. He held a brown document in his hand. With a slight movement of the man's fingers, the book turned to one of the pages.

"Experiment log: On the fifth day, as usual, three people were selected for testing, and one of the three was saved... After the implantation, the maintenance time was no more than half a cup of tea. The subject woke up from a coma due to excessive panic. Unable to speak, a moment later his body began to spontaneously combust. The fire could not be stopped and the test failed."

The ink marks gradually faded as they were written in one breath.

At this time, the yellowed paper was also twisted with two fingers and turned to the next page.

"Experiment log: On the sixth day, one of the five people survived... After successful anesthesia, the heart implantation went smoothly, but it did not last long. The subject's internal organs exploded into pieces, as if a large amount of saltpeter and gunpowder had been stuffed into his abdomen. , extremely tragic.”

Looking further down, the handwriting becomes slightly sloppy, and it seems that the owner of this document is also a little confused.

"Experiment log: On the seventh day, the operation was successful. After the wound was sutured, the man woke up after sleeping for about three hours. Not long after waking up, the subject appeared confused and fell into madness. Another hour later, his blood suddenly boiled and his skin turned red. Then, his facial features melted like candles, and he died of burning blood."

"...On the eighth day, after the operation was completed, the subject fainted and seemed to be trapped in a dream and nightmare. He tossed and turned on the bed, chanting 'fire, fire, fire'... This continued for a while, and he screamed. Wake up, from under the skin on your chest, there is a layer of blazing flames, and in the blink of an eye, your whole body is burned into a ball of charcoal."

When He Ping saw this, he stopped and his eyes slowly moved from Dou Yan to the stone table in the secret room, which was on his left hand.

This stone table is a simple operating table. There are some dried brown blood stains on the floor of the secret room, and some scorch marks remain on the stone table.

"Pity."

He sighed slightly and put down the experiment diary.

"It cost more than thirty lives, but there was not much progress."

He Ping didn't care about human life, not to mention that the more than thirty "subjects" he selected were all evil-doers in Black Flag Village.

"Sheng Qingzhi's heart really contains the secret of Chongyang Palace. In that half piece of elixir fire talisman, there is absolutely hidden the mystery of the "Three Yang Tribulation" to enter the Tao. If I can use the "Three Yang Tribulation" to enter the Tao, I don't have to use the "Three Yang Tribulation" to enter the Tao. The living puppet technique in "The Invisible Secret" can be used to extend one's life..."

He Ping frowned slightly and fell into thinking.

The research on the elixir fire talisman and the heart really didn't yield much. As for which part of the problem went wrong, he hasn't found out yet.

But even if the heart trial makes little progress, he has made progress in other areas.

In the recent period, his "Nine Palaces Bright Moon Climbing True Method", the internal refining secret method of building the soul palace, and with the assistance of the "Cultivation Furnace" internal refining method of four bodies and five senses, finally broke through the ninth soul palace " Taihuang Palace".

This is also a matter of water. As he completed the "Taihuang Palace", his soul was affected, nourished and tempered by the bright moon, and began to gradually feed himself back from the inside out.

The essence of the essence hidden in the ancestral orifice, that is, the soul palace, will differentiate into the essence of the moon, blend into the flesh and blood body, and disperse into the blood, muscles, skin, bones and other parts of the body, including the internal organs. , was also nourished, and his physique was greatly improved. However, this improvement could not make up for his lost life span.

The devastating blow that the "blood leakage disease" brought to his body could not be compensated by simply improving his physical condition.

"The damaged essence and blood are my life essence and my own origin. It's like a ship that broke the bottom and took in a lot of water. It's useless to strengthen the hull at this time. I have to find a solution once and for all. solution to this problem.”

The best way is to enter the Tao!

As soon as a monk reaches the Taoist level, he becomes a semi-immortal. In addition to obtaining various magical changes, his lifespan is greatly extended.

"However, if the Immortal Puppet Sect wants to enter the Tao, they must seize the "Invisible Secrets" from other disciples. The basis for entering the Tao is to obtain three volumes of the "Invisible Secrets"... If this statement is correct, then..."

He Ping took out the secret volume of "Invisible Secrets" that he treasured on his body. Back then, after he finished practicing the secret book and mastered all the knowledge in it, all the writing and pictures disappeared.

At this time, he opened the secret book again and found a golden text on the title page of the first page of the book.

"'Enter my puppet sect and keep my oath: all my disciples must pass on my teachings and obey my orders..."The Invisible Secrets" is divided into five volumes, each containing an oath... Yours The fifth article of the oath is: Do not pass on any information from the Puppet Sect to outsiders, otherwise you will never have the chance to enter the Tao!'"

He Ping read it slowly, his brows getting tighter and tighter.

The new text that appeared in the secret book is the specific method of entering the Tao passed down by the Xianpuppet Sect. The method passed down by the Xianpuppet Sect through the generations is to teach the five volumes of "Invisible Secrets" to the five disciples, and then each disciple will practice. After reaching a certain level, a "Puppet Gate Heart Oath" will appear in the "Invisible Secret Treasure". There are also five "Puppet Gate Heart Oaths", which are hidden in five volumes.

If you want to enter the Tao, you must collect three heart oaths. However, if you want to obtain the heart oaths of others, you must kill them. Only in this way can the puppet heart oaths be transferred to the secret book in your hand.

"I see, this is the reason why the Immortal Puppet Sect members must kill each other. This 'Puppet Sect Heart Oath' seems to contain an important opportunity to become a Taoist!"

He Ping knew this well.

"My Puppet Gate Heart Oath is 'not to pass on information related to the Puppet Gate Heart Oath to outsiders. Anyone who violates the Puppet Gate Heart Oath will never have the opportunity to enter the Tao'... Does this mean that if you violate this oath, you will never be able to enter the Tao?"

The doubts in his heart increased greatly.

"Looking at it this way, besides me, the other four people have a 'Puppet Gate Heart Oath' in their hands. My senior brother Chixinzi should also know the secret of the Puppet Gate Heart Oath, but he has no intention of telling me?"

He Ping guessed that Chi Xinzi should have activated this Laozi "Puppet Gate Heart Oath" a long time ago, but for some reason, he did not intend to tell him.

"Are you like me, bound by the oath itself and unable to disclose relevant information?"

He could only come to this conclusion at the moment.

"Forget it, I currently have too little information. I have been in seclusion for many days, so I should go to Longhe County to take a look at the situation."

…

Longhe County.

The new base chosen by He Ping is a relatively luxurious and simple old mansion.

This old house has a history of a hundred years. It occupies a vast area and has many gates and deep courtyards. It originally belonged to a family of officials. Later, when the family gradually declined, it was sold to a merchant family.

Later, after changing hands several times, it was finally bought by He Ping's housekeeper He Fusheng.

The mansion looks old, but has been repaired and renovated many times. The ancient house seems to have weathered the years, but in fact it has remained brand new for a long time. It does not look desolate and dilapidated because it has been idle for a long time. The location of this mansion is also very good. It is backed by a bamboo forest on a low hill and has a wave of clear water in front of the door. Needless to say, it is feng shui.

He Ping got off the sedan and walked around the mansion. He was quite satisfied with He Fusheng's eyesight.

"Master, you are finally back."

He Fusheng has been working as an errand in He's house since he was a child. He first served He Ping's father, and then served him for many years. He still used to call him "Young Master".

He Ping nodded to him and asked casually about the house.

It was okay if he didn't ask, but He Fusheng looked a little sad when he asked.

"Master, it's just me who is blind. I bought this house, but I didn't expect that there are some problems in the house. Now that you ask, I really don't know how to explain it to you, Master?"

"Is there something wrong with the house?"

He Ping was a little curious. He observed the mansion outside and didn't notice anything unusual.

"Yes, this house is haunted!!"

He Fusheng spoke sternly.
