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

In the stone cocoon, there should have been a corpse buried, that should be the corpse of Cheng Zhi's grandfather, Cheng Tianyou.

"Chengtianyou has a very mysterious origin. Decades ago, I explored that secret place with him. After we came out, a conflict broke out. He fled here and dismembered his body with a fossil bead. I thought he was He was severely injured and died, and now it seems that I was negligent and was deceived by that person.”

Chi Xinzi frowned slightly as he recalled what happened that year. At that time, I thought I was quite proud of having killed the enemy. Now it seems that Cheng Tianyou had already figured everything out and tricked him into turning into a stone cocoon in order to get a chance to escape.

"The question is, when did Cheng Tianyou escape... What did he do after escaping?"

Cheng Tianyou has a mysterious identity. He is ostensibly a member of Chengjia Ranch, but Chi Xinzi is very suspicious of his identity.

In fact, all the members of the Cheng family in Chengjia Ranch are short-lived, and children are very likely to die young. This proves that the life span of this clan has been stolen. Thinking about it, this must be Cheng Tianyou's handiwork.

"After all, the life-stealing bowl is in his hand. Cheng Tianyou must have sacrificed his own clan members and used the life-stealing bowl to steal Yangshou to extend his own life."

The origin of the longevity bowl is always a secret. Cheng Tianyou’s experience in establishing Chengjia Ranch and the fact that he rescued a beggar and obtained the bone bowl were probably all fabricated. This person has been hiding it from the beginning. deep.

Chi Xinzi stared at the stone cocoon. After a moment, a red light flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that this matter needs to be recalculated."

…

He Ping is relatively free these days. He drinks tea, reads books, and starts practicing puppetry every day. When he has nothing to do, he secretly grabs a green-skinned scoundrel from the city and throws him into the attic in the backyard to test the operation of the murals in the attic. mechanism.

Through this method, he also had a certain understanding of the magic restrictions set by the "Painting Immortal Way" in the pavilion.

"Now I have basically reached a bottleneck period."

In the quiet room, He Ping analyzed his own condition. After completing the "Soul Building Palace", he switched to the internal refining method of the "Cultivation Furnace". This secret method emphasized the "four bodies and five consciousnesses". The so-called four bodies are the hands. , feet and limbs; the five consciousnesses are the five senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and touch.

Recently, his four bodies and five senses have been refined into his hands. A pair of his arms have been modified and attached to the ghost hands.

These two ghost hands are both prosthetic limbs. They originally had no touch, were numb, cold, and had no feeling at all... But through practicing "Four Body", his two puppet prosthetics gradually became more powerful. The touch was like a puppet's prosthetic limb gradually becoming spiritual and integrating with his physical body.

Originally, the feeling of wearing a prosthetic limb was disappearing. In his feeling, it was like finding a pair of phantom limbs again. These phantom limbs were joined to the puppet prosthetic limbs, and the broken hands seemed to be restored again. Grow out.

If he closed his eyes and didn't look at his hands, he would even have the illusion that he had not cut off his arms.

"It turns out that this 'Four Body and Five Senses' should be one of the methods used by the Immortal Puppet Sect to refine the living puppet. After it is refined, the senses of the replaced limbs will also be restored. This pair of prosthetic limbs can now feel When you experience the changes of cold, hot, heavy, and light, if you continue to practice, your feelings will improve."

The "Slimming Furnace" is not a separate internal refining method, but a secret method that works with the body of a living puppet. If it is not transformed into a puppet, its effectiveness will always be limited.

"I have quite a few methods now, but I lack a real killer move. I got the method of 'growing demons' from Chi Xinzi. There are still some shortcomings in this dharma. Unless I get the full copy, I won't be able to become the Taoist." the foundation.”

He Ping thought to himself that the Immortal Puppet Sect's method of entering the Dao was a hidden conspiracy. He had to consider other ways to enter the Dao. It would be best if he could obtain "Demon Planting". If he could not obtain it, he would have to find another way.

""Three Yang Tribulation" is also a direction. Unfortunately, the information of Chongyang Palace is too secret. I am afraid it will be difficult to obtain the Chongyang Palace's dharma. I can only find a way to start from Sheng Qingzhi's heart. My senior brother Chi Xinzi still has it in his hands. There is a piece of 'Elixir Iron Talisman', which may allow me to research more clues once I get it."

At present, the only ways to enter the Tao and rectification that I have access to are these three directions. If we put aside the issue of Taoism, He Ping is more eager to improve his current strength.

"In terms of life-saving, my 'Nine-Death Substitute Witch Puppet' still has five lives left. This witch puppet is difficult to sacrifice. After it is successfully refined, the witch puppet will be my substitute. A person can only have one substitute at a time, unless this one" The Nine Deaths Witch Puppet is completely broken, and it will not be possible to make a second one in the short term..."

But this is five lives, and it can be considered five insurances at any rate. It is better than nothing.

"Fortunately, now I also have the Fragmented Ghost Hand, which can emit armor-covered spiritual light, which can be used to attack at close range and defend at a distance. It has an additional barrier against ordinary enemies."

Armor-covering aura is a technique for close attack and distance defense. He Ping can use armor-covering aura to set up a round shield-shaped aura shield, which gives him a strong protective power.

"Secondly, in terms of puppets for combat, paper puppets and wooden mandrill puppets are somewhat unable to keep up with my current combat level. I want to practice another powerful puppet technique!"

There is still room for improvement in the Explosive Soul Witch Puppet. You can try to refine more powerful explosives. With the Explosive Soul Witch Puppet, you can gain a certain advantage in the battle.

"Also, my 'Shadow Calling Technique' has also been improved. In the past, there was only one shadow. Now, in addition to 'Youhuang', even the second shadow god, 'Sprite', has also revived."

He Ping's "Soul Summoning and Shadow Binding Technique" has also been improved. However, he is not in a good mood about it. Once the Shadow Summoning Technique is activated, the Nine Shadow Gods hidden in his own shadow will revive one after another.

The process of practicing the shadow calling technique is not complicated. After awakening the nine shadow gods, blood food must be sent to the shadow gods every ten days.

Shadow Gods do not eat flesh and blood, but they can eat the shadows of living creatures, eating their shadows as well as their bodies. After the first Shadow God "Youhuang" woke up, he only needed to feed some birds at first. Later, his appetite gradually grew, and now It already requires animals such as cats and dogs to feed it.

These shadow gods are very evil. If they do not eat enough blood food, they will constantly try to attack the main body. If they cannot be properly controlled, they will suffer serious harm. In addition, it is worth mentioning that there is no possibility of reversal in this process.

In other words, once you decide to use the Shadow Calling Technique, it is only a matter of time before the Nine Shadow Gods revive one after another. This is also the danger of the Shadow Calling Technique.

He Ping glanced at the shadow under his feet. His shadow was different from that of ordinary people. Next to the normal shadow, there were two faint shadows. They were "Youhuang" and "Shenshi". These two shadow gods After birth, it becomes more powerful.

He could feel the peeping gazes from the shadows under his feet. They were two blood-red gazes. There was a trace of evil intention in those deep and evil eyes.

"Forget it, now that the Nine Shadow Gods have become the second one, I may also start trying the third forbidden technique of the Immortal Puppet Sect, the 'Transmigration Curse'!"

He looked at the shadows under his feet and knew that in order to perfect the "Transfer Spell", he needed the cooperation of these shadow gods to complete this spell.

"The transfer spell itself is a spell that can only be practiced after practicing the Shadow Skill. People of the Immortal Puppet Sect need to use puppets to fight with others. The more puppets, the more methods and combat power they have. The stronger."

However, puppets are foreign objects, some of which are large in size, and cannot be hidden on the body all the time. This is naturally inconvenient. In order to solve this problem, the seventh generation ancestor of the Immortal Puppet Sect developed the transfer spell.

This spell is extremely special and can hide puppets in the shadows. Once the spell is completed, the nine shadows made by the "Shadow Recalling Technique" will have wonderful functions of hiding, sending and receiving puppets!
