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

In this era, the Three Masters' Way can be said to be the "mainstream" faction of contemporary heretics. In addition, there are many secret inheritances. In order to avoid the supervision of the Heavenly Court, they have been developed in extremely secretive ways.

However, because of its uniqueness, the Third Master's Way also has an advantage among the numerous heretical forces.

This also led to the Shentong orthodoxy, the vast immortal sects, and the aristocratic families to all crazily suppress the three masters, and there were many side schools. However, over a long period of time, the inheritance of the three masters was not completely cut off.

The Gu Dao lineage is uniquely endowed by nature. It uses the virtual magic world created by the Heavenly Realm Divine Court to grow secretly and ranks first among the three masters.

The other two companies also have their own unique features and are quite successful in their respective fields.

Although the three realms of Shenting have weaved a vast network of cause and effect on the earth, and their supervision is extremely tight, it is impossible to completely eliminate these side inheritances.

Suddenly, Yuan Qing, who was lying in the cave with his eyes closed, seemed to sense something in the next second and sat up suddenly.

The "Mother and Heart Piercer Gu" he planted between his eyebrows sensed a very light breath coming from the ground.

With a "click", the floor of the cave cracked, and the black soil below floated upward.

Then, a little clay figurine about the size of a thumb, riding a yellow horse and wearing yellow clothes, emerged from the soil.

This yellow clay man had full hair and beard, wore a robe, and had a high bun on his head. He bowed to Yuan Qing and shouted: "Fellow Taoist Yuan Qing, we meet again."

"Is it you?"

Yuan Qing was stunned for a moment: "It turns out that you are fellow Taoist Wu Jiusheng from the Dishi Sect. You usually stay in the Dixianglu and live happily, so why would you think of coming to see me, Yuan Qing."

He stretched out his palm, grabbed it lightly, and held the little yellow clay figure in his palm.

In addition to being proficient in Feng Shui and numerology, the monks of the Earth Master Sect are also able to secretly communicate with the "true spirit of the earth".

This "true spirit of the earth" is also called Houtu by the world. According to legend, they are spirits born from the remains of dragon veins after death. Also known as the essence of Houtu.

The birth of the Houtu Essence may be a strange existence born from the depths of the earth after the Lord of the Divine Court merged the three continents.

At that time, the Lord of the Divine Court used the Zhonghuan Continent, the Western Continent, and the Shenhai Continent to merge into one. It is not known what else was mixed into this process to create the "Back Earth" that existed deep in the earth. of essence".

This yellow clay villain is an earth demon bred by the spirit of earth spirits that is common in the earth's veins. His name is "Ye Zhong".

This kind of earth demon was caught by the monks of Earth Master Dao and turned into a demon spirit that could send letters and messages.

This kind of demon spirit can naturally hide in the soil, move extremely fast, and because it is deep in the earth and consistent with the earth's veins, it cannot be discovered by outsiders. Even the Shenting side uses this communication method of the Earth Master Sect. There is no good way. Of course, it is not easy to find this kind of Earth Master monks.

"Hahaha, fellow Taoist Yuan is really good at joking."

The little yellow clay man said: "What kind of carefree and happy life? To put it bluntly, we earth master monks are just digging in the soil for food. Without the protection of Houtu Empress, we would have been picked off by all kinds of yin gods, yin generals, land and city gods." Come out~ By the way, I heard that Fellow Daoist Yuan has been targeted by two monks from Chaolu City recently. "

Wu Daoren from the Earth Master Sect changed the subject and said, "How about it, are you interested in making a big deal?"

"What big deal?!"

Yuan Qing was confused on the one hand, but also a little wary on the other.

If I really want to say it, the result of the last "cooperation" was not very good.

The monks of the Earth Master Sect are just like rats in the gutter. If they are caught by the Immortal Sect, the Aristocratic Family, or the Yin God, the fate will be the same. Normally, they would not deliberately plot against themselves... However, there is one thing that is different. Earth Master monks have some special life-saving methods, which means that they always have some way to survive in dangerous situations. If it were other monks, there would be no such possibility.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, don't be so resistant."

The little clay figurine shook his head.

"There was indeed something wrong with the Jade Li Sword last time, but you and I didn't suffer much loss. It just took a little time. This time it's different. I'm at least 70% sure."

"You put it lightly."

Yuan Qing frowned: "The city god of Miaoyun Mountain directly sent seven patrolling generals to hunt down me. If I hadn't prepared a backup plan and escaped first, I would still be alive to meet you today. "

"I have foreseen this, so you and I can be safe."

The little clay figurine laughed and said, "I heard that you suffered a loss from Tao Changrong of the Tao family. Are you interested in joining forces with me to deal with this Tao..."

"No need to discuss."

Yuan Qing shook his head and replied: "That man named Tao has become a star-catching hand. His magic hand is empty and can penetrate the clouds into the ground. You think he is easy to deal with."

He added: "Besides Tao Changrong, I also met Lei Zhengyang from the Lei family. Both of them are chasing me. If my whereabouts are exposed, I will be surrounded by the masters of the Tao Lei family." ”

"If it really gets to that point, even if the two of us work together, it will be difficult to fight against the younger generation of masters from this big family."

"That's wrong."

The little clay figurine quickly explained: "First of all, the two aristocratic families in Chaolu City are hostile. The possibility of Tao Changrong and Lei Zhengyang joining forces is extremely low. Moreover, if we just find an opportunity to separate these two people, it is not difficult to defeat them individually. ”

"Second point, compared to Lei Zhengyang, Tao Changrong is definitely easier to deal with. The Star Reacher is indeed no trivial matter, but this person has not entered the Tao after all. The Tao family's magical powers and secrets are difficult to deal with after becoming a Taoist. The two of us will If people work together and do calculations mentally but not intentionally, they have a higher chance of winning.”

"Third point, if Fellow Daoist Wu is willing to join forces with me, then this time it will not be two people working together, but three people working together."

"What do you mean?"

Yuan Qing reacted: "Di Xianglu will send someone over..."

"no."

The little clay figurine quickly explained: "I came out this time to join forces with a fellow Taoist from Mu Shi Dao. If you are willing to join in, there will be three of us. Also, I want to tell fellow Taoist Yuan something."

He said in a deep voice: "Tao Changrong may have several treasures on his body. According to my inference, this boy should have accidentally obtained such treasures as the Moon Spirit Essence. The quantity is rare, only a few drops, but for your brother, it is a nurturing treasure. The key to the Gu insect.”

"What?!"

Yuan Qing was startled for a moment, and his face became extremely solemn.

"You are not joking with what you said... Tao Changrong really has the essence of the moon spirit in him."

"Absolutely true."

The little clay figurine nodded: "I am 90% sure that the Tao family's backstory is somehow related to the Baibaolian Pavilion. I also know that Brother Yuan has been looking for the essence of the Moon Spirit, but this thing is very precious and can only be There is circulation in the world and strict supervision... In the human world, it is generally difficult to get started. As a Gu Master, you should know this better than me. "

"What you said is true..."

When Yuan Qing heard this, he nodded slowly.

"It is much more difficult for us Gu Masters to enter the Tao than for your Earth Masters. One of the keys is to change the spiritual quality of the Gu. The quality of my heart-stealing Gu is not enough, so I wasted nothing. After fifty years, I still can’t enter the Tao.”

As a monk, Yuan Qing is not young. His real age is at least seventy or eighty years old, and his longevity has been depleted a lot due to years of refining Gu.

This is why he wants to practice the "Mother and Child Heart Seizing Gu". Refining this Gu technique will harm the world, and during the process of the sacrifice, it will inevitably kill many mortals.

As a monk, he may not value human lives. But if he is so promiscuous, he will easily be targeted by the immortal family and even the spirits of the underworld. However, considering his short lifespan, he has no choice but to do so.

His current appearance is just a change of appearance using the Shape Changing Gu. His lifespan is running out, and the only way to extend his life is to refine the perfect Zimu Heart Seizing Gu.

"As long as I obtain the essence of the Moon Spirit, I may really have a chance to repair the damaged Heart Seizing Gu. Later, I can also use this magical object to improve my magic power and break through to the Taoist Immortal Sect."

He sighed faintly: "However, Fellow Daoist Wu, is there anything in Tao Changrong that deserves your concern."

"There is another thing on Tao Changrong's body, called the 'Shuti Bone', which is what our Earth Master Sect has been looking for."

Taoist Wu from the Earth Master Sect smiled bitterly: "As for that Moon Spirit Essence, it is of no use to our Earth Master Sect, nor to our colleague from the Mu Master Sect. You should also know this."

"You mean, each of the three parties gets what it needs?"

Yuan Quan asked back.

He definitely wanted to find out this.

Facing the suppression of the Divine Court and the major forces in the human world, the Three Masters can be said to be potential allies. They also have various calculations behind their backs, and they are not of the same mind.

If the interests conflict with each other, this kind of cooperation is just seeking skin from a tiger, and you don't know how you will die by then.

"Exactly."

Wu Jiusheng, the yellow clay villain, nodded vigorously.

"This is about getting what you need. I only want the rare item 'Shutchi Bone'. Once this item falls into my hands, it will be a great contribution to the Earth Prime Minister... The master of Mu Shi Dao needs a A puppet made from the body of a young handsome man."

Wu Daoren added: "Both of us have no interest in the essence of the Moon Spirit. On the contrary, if Tao Changrong has any good things after his death, there is no harm in giving them all to fellow Taoist Yuan."

"Hey, give it all to me!?"

Yuan Qing sneered a few times: "I don't have such a big appetite. The essence of the Moon Spirit is enough. If I take other stolen goods, if someone from the Tao family uses a method like chasing the soul from a thousand miles to locate it, then I will If...well, I'll take care of this."

"Okay, okay!"

When Wu Jiusheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He did not expect that Yuan Qing would agree immediately. He also understands Yuan Qing's character. He behaves erratically, but he will probably comply with what others promise.

If the other party didn't intend to cooperate with him, this would definitely not be a good thing for Wu Laodao, but Yuan Qing agreed, not knowing how much time and money he would have to save.

Wu Daozi's thoughts changed, and he said: "Brother Yuan, I see you are still a little injured. It just so happened that I recently got a 'Ming Yu Pill', so I will give it to you to heal your injuries. You can recover your skills quickly. This way , the plan can also be carried out earlier.”

After he said this, the little yellow clay figure suddenly melted, and a "Pan Pill" shining with green light appeared from it.

"It's really Ming Yu Dan."

Yuan Qing reached out and picked it up, staring at the crystal-like blue pill.

"Speaking of which... what kind of rare treasure is this 'Shuti Bone' that will attract Taoist Wu from the Earth Master Sect...?"

He used his mind power to check it several times to make sure that nothing had been done before opening his mouth and swallowing it.

In an instant, after taking this elixir, the power of the elixir melted in his abdomen and spread throughout his body. The injuries in his body also improved rapidly...

…

"I hope this Yuan Qing is worth the price of my Ming Jade Pill."

In a small town, a rickety old man who looked like a horseman was kneeling on the ground at a noodle stall outside a downtown restaurant, holding a bowl and sucking noodles bit by bit.

This street is an official road. Sixty miles further ahead is Chaolu City, the largest city within a hundred miles.

This city can be said to be full of people, carriages and horses, and very lively. As for this small town, because it is a section of the road close to Chaolu City, it is also an area where people come and go, and businessmen traveling from north to south travel back and forth.

This old man who looked like a groom was Wu Jiusheng who lived in Xianglu. After licking the bottom of the bowl, he squinted his eyes and observed the mortals coming and going.

Di Xianglu is proficient in the method of observing people's physical appearance, and is also familiar with various methods of bone reshaping, face changing, and the magical method of hiding in a coffin in a spiritual cave to replace the dead, as well as various techniques of golden cicadas escaping their shells. Without such techniques, , the earth master tried his best to escape and was hunted by all forces.

However, this is not the most fundamental method of the Earth Master lineage. It is impossible to escape such pediatric methods as bone-changing, face-changing, side-sect magic, gold-dark shelling, death-substitution techniques, and so on. The dragnet created by the Divine Court in the human world.

There are countless evil spirits and law enforcement spirits in the human world, and the legal network is vast. How can ordinary little tricks in the human world hide their whereabouts? When it comes to the earth master's way, the most fundamental method, magical power, is another skill. This method can be said to be the foundation.

"The Tao and Lei families in Chaolu City have been doing things secretly recently. I don't know how much they know about the Shuchi Bones?"

Wu Jiusheng was also somewhat nervous.

The birth of the Shukuchi Bone is related to Patriarch Ji of the Earth Master Path.

It is said that this time Dixianglu inquired about this news, which may have damaged several seniors in the sect.

"I hope nothing happens..."

The old man muttered to himself.

At this moment, a sword light suddenly appeared, sudden and without any sign.

With a click, Wu Jiusheng's head flew up, splashing with blood.

"The Earth Master Dao Yao Ren, Wu Jiu Sheng, is acting treacherously... Although I don't know what you are planning, but I, Lei Zhengyang, can't ignore things -"

This was the voice Wu Jiusheng heard vaguely before his death.

Just behind his headless body, a young man wearing a black and red robe appeared.

…

"ah!"

In an instant, Wu Jiusheng woke up from the bed in Datongbu. He climbed up and touched his neck.

"The head didn't fall off."

He looked around. In this large shop, which was used as an inn for traveling horsemen and traveling merchants, everyone else was lying on the bed, still sleeping soundly.

"It's really bad luck... How could it be such a coincidence that Lei Zhengyang was eyeing him."

Wu Laodao sighed: "It seems that we can't go in that direction again within twelve hours... This time, let's change the direction!"

He raised his right hand again, and in the palm of his hand, there was a faint flash of blue light, a glowing blue circle of light appeared on it, and the numbers inside also changed.

The original number was "36". Now, this number has become "35", which obviously consumes an opportunity.
