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

"...Is someone up to something?"

Yeluo Wangfo's tone became a little weird: "What is this? We are acting in an extremely secretive manner. Although there are many twists and turns in this matter, it cannot be said that we have found nothing... At least the spying on Dixianglu can be regarded as There are some results.”

"As long as Ji Changli is not forced out, there will be no big results."

Taoist Yinxiao shook his head slowly.

"Just let me investigate this matter. Regarding Bai Yuzhen's matter, I'll ask you, the other side, to take action."

The so-called Immortal Palace and the other side are just two sides of the coin, two sides of the same coin. Several kings of the Divine Court once wanted to rely on the Immortal Palace to deal with the other side. This idea is really funny.

"That's fine."

Yeluo Wangfo nodded. Next, the blood-mud-like Buddha body dispersed like dust and turned into a line of smoke.

…

Guyang City, in a teahouse.

"Over at Chaolu City, the senior figures of the Tao family and the Lei family were all taken away by people from the Zhengfa Taoist Academy."

Zhang Yuanchen was sitting in a single room, opposite a pretty woman wearing a black gauze hat.

The pretty woman sitting opposite is none other than Shi Canxing, the chief disciple of the Puppet Palace. She must have had a new puppet body, and her eyebrows and facial features are completely different from the previous beauty in yellow.

At the same time, this wing was also restricted, all sounds were isolated, and outsiders could not break in at will.

"Judging from the results of the current investigation, the matter of Shuchi Gu is indeed a trap... After our previous repeated investigations, several elders of Dixianglu also confirmed who is behind the scenes?"

In fact, as early as the beginning, Zhang Yuanchen and Wu Jiusheng had roughly judged this result, but the most important thing was to figure out who the enemy was against them...

The enemy has obviously figured out how to target the Earth Masters who practice Earth Master Dao, and is able to restrain their own backtracking ability. If Earth Master Dao's trump card is really revealed to other forces, the destruction of Di Xianglu is also conceivable. And know.

After that, Zhang Yuanchen and Wu Jiusheng received a notice from Dixianglu, asking them to investigate the truth behind it.

"I see."

Shi Canxing has obviously changed into a puppet body. She still looks indifferent and expressionless. She is reaching out to grab a pot of tea and pour a glass of water into the cup.

"I've also learned the information here. Although the story about Shuchigu is false, we still have to fulfill what you promised to Xianglu."

"This is natural... Anyway, several elders have agreed. By the way, my senior brother, I also want to thank you very much."

Zhang Yuanchen added: "But this time I came to you to ask for your help in investigating a person. That is a woman from the Duyang Shi family. We recently got news about this person -"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly discovered that an extra hand had appeared on his right shoulder.

"What are you two talking about? Do you want me to join one..."

A man who looked like a scholar from the academy appeared behind him.

Zhang Yuanchen's face turned pale. As soon as this palm touched his shoulder, all his strength was taken away. His whole body was out of control. He couldn't even commit suicide. Although his magic power and true energy were not affected, his body was not at all affected. He couldn't move either, he just sat there blankly.

"you!"

Shi Canxing sat up suddenly. Before she could move, the scholar also raised his finger.

call out!

An invisible stream of air shot out.

Bang! !

Shi Canxing took a few steps back, and the circulation of infuriating energy and mana in his body immediately fell into chaos, and black smoke came out of his body. The puppet body was obviously out of control and fell into chaos.

"impossible!"

After all, she was also a Taoist-level master, and her soul transformed into a Dacheng Yin Shen. However, after being plotted, the connection between the Yin Shen and the puppet body went wrong.

At this moment, her eyes were moving wildly, and her limbs and body were trembling like spasms. This was the result of the disturbance in her body.

This resulted in a wonderful result, that is, Shi Canxing's Yin Shen was intact, but there was no way to control the puppet body.

Or to put it another way, she seems to be in a vegetative state now, with her brain completely unable to control her body.

"Even a few senior figures in the Puppet Palace can't completely seal me off from refining my puppet body..."

She was very surprised. After being attacked, her soul became completely independent and had no connection with the puppet body. The two were completely isolated.

"...The operating mode is exactly the same as in the past, and there are no updates to the version."

He Ping shook his head.

His current body is none other than Luo Yiting, the scholar classmate of Seventh Prince Shen Qiwu.

After Jin Chengliang's body was taken away by Bai Yuzhen, his mind separated and attached to Luo Yiting.

This is not difficult for him. After all, relying on the ego wheel's ability to tamper with fate, he can even replace Luo Yiting's identity in this world.

"Senior... may I ask, who is this person?"

Zhang Yuanchen found that although his body was imprisoned, his mouth was not affected in any way and he could open his mouth to speak. He quickly asked this question.

"You are so smart, you might as well guess my origin."

He Ping smiled slightly.

"There are rewards for guessing right, and penalties for guessing wrong."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanchen couldn't help but feel bitter.

——This is really the worst situation. The other party actually blocked his ability to commit suicide, which resulted in him not even having the chance to commit suicide and go back in time.

‘Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Shi should only have a puppet. She is controlling this puppet body with the art of soul division. I hope she can inform other brothers. ’

He can only hope to delay time and let Shi Canxing on the other side find an opportunity to pass the message.

However, He Ping coughed lightly, as if he saw through what he was thinking, and said loudly: "The connection between the puppet body of that little girl and the outside world has been cut off by me. You'd better not expect her to pass the information to the main body. You should know that there are not many people in the world who know puppetry better than me. With her little Taoist skills, if she wants to play tricks with me, it is undoubtedly a big knife in front of Guan Gong."

"Senior, this is really difficult for me."

Zhang Yuanchen shook his head: "With the ability of the senior, you can bypass my ban silently and subdue Fellow Daoist Shi and me. If you want to get any information, you can get it by searching my soul. Why bother so much."

"You are right... So, I said I let you 'guess'."

He Ping narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Yuanchen frowned when he heard this and immediately fell silent.

He had to admit that the other party's cultivation was very terrifying. He could not guess the other party's true cultivation at all. However, if the other party was really an enemy, there should be no need to communicate with him or play tricks on him in this way.

"What do you mean? Do you really want me to guess his origins?"

Time passed by minute by minute, and Zhang Yuanchen's mind was full of thoughts, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"You can't guess it, right?"

He Ping smiled.

"Then let's change the round! Next time, come here to find me."

He pointed his fingertips and blew up Zhang Yuanchen's head, exploding into a ball of blood mist.

Zhang Yuanchen's consciousness immediately retreated twelve hours ago.

...

"I'm dead."

Zhang Yuanchen was very surprised. He stood up suddenly, and his mind was still filled with memories of the next twelve hours.

"The other party actually killed me... What exactly does this mean? This person has no intention of arresting me, or searching my soul, digging out my memory, and finding the Earth Mirror House, so why did he kill me——"

Even if he was killed, it would not be a bad thing for Zhang Yuanchen.

Anyway, he can go back in time. As long as his body dies, his memory can go back to twelve hours ago, which is equivalent to a rebirth.

From another perspective, death is not a pressure for Zhang Yuanchen.

After the worship of the ancestors in the Earth Mirror House, all disciples will be given this magical power of time travel.

Historically, disciples who have obtained this magical power can split the timeline by themselves and collect information in different chaotic timelines.

This is an extremely talented ability, an ability that the gods in the Divine Court cannot obtain. The disciples of the Earth Mirror House use this strange ability to turn danger into safety and turn disaster into auspiciousness.

Zhang Yuanchen is not afraid of death. As long as he can obtain important information before death, it is not unacceptable to take the initiative to die.

"I remember that the other party also told me to go find him again."

A trace of doubt flashed through Zhang Yuanchen's mind, and he murmured: "Then...should I go or not?"

He was full of hesitation in his heart, and he was full of unspeakable doubts about the arrival of tomorrow.

...

Finally, twelve hours later.

Zhang Yuanchen came to the teahouse in Duyang City again.

However, unlike the last time, he did not invite Shi Canxing, but came to the teahouse alone, to the private room on the second floor.

"Give me a pot of queqingshe."

After entering the private room, he calculated the time while sitting on a chair and looked around. There was no one in the private room. He sighed and moved his eyes to a screen in the private room.

There was a picture of an immortal riding a crane on this cypress screen. Zhang Yuanchen glanced at it and retracted his sight. He was confused at this time, and he regretted more and more in his heart.

'Speaking of it...why did I come here alone? Perhaps, this matter should be told directly to Senior Brother Wu Jiusheng. ’

Wu Jiusheng is not dead. Through time travel, his soul and body are preserved. In order to prevent being tracked by the mysterious master, several elders of Di Xiang Lu sealed a trace of his soul with a secret method, leaving only a spirit, hidden in a wooden bird puppet refined by Shi Canxing.

Even if Zhang Yuanchen cannot rely on this senior brother, he can tell other brothers of Di Shi Dao about what happened before, and use time travel to avoid the tracking of an unknown mysterious master.

However, he didn't know why he came to this teahouse resolutely.

‘Could it be that he was possessed by evil... that he made such a judgment. ’

“Okay, sir.”

The waiter of the teahouse smiled and went downstairs to serve tea.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out and rested on Zhang Yuanchen's shoulder.

“You are really here.”

He Ping appeared behind him again. He swayed his footsteps and appeared directly opposite the table where Zhang Yuanchen was sitting like a ghost.

"How about it... I've given you time to think about it for so long."

He smiled and said, "You should be able to guess something, right?"

"I still can't guess it."

Zhang Yuanchen sighed deeply: "Senior, you have an extraordinary origin and great magical powers, why do you have to tease me? If you have anything to say, you might as well speak directly to me!"

After he said this, he felt panicked in his heart. At this moment, Zhang Yuanchen could conclude that the other party, like himself, still maintained the memory of the last twelve hours during the time retrieval process.

'Even a powerful person who manifests the spirit cannot do this...unless it is a loose immortal, no, maybe it is an existence that surpasses the loose immortal...'

He Ping waved his hand and said: "Since you can't figure it out, let's do it again. Anyway, you still have a lot of time to look back. Let's do it again!"

Speaking of this, he added another sentence, saying: "Remember, don't discuss this matter with your senior brothers."

He stretched out his finger again and exploded Zhang Yuanchen's head.

With a "pop" sound and an invisible finger pointing, his thoughts flew away and time began to flow backwards rapidly.

…

For the third time, Zhang Yuanchen came to the teahouse in Guyang City.

As soon as he went to the second floor of the tea house, he found that the single room on the second floor was occupied. When he got closer, he found that the door of the single room was open.

"Come in...Zhang Yuanchen."

A deep voice sounded in the air.

"yes."

Zhang Yuanchen quickly lowered his head, knowing that the senior had already arrived.

"I'm too lazy to wait for you to come over and order tea."

He Ping picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water into his cup.

Hua Hua Hua~ Clear light green tea slowly flowed out from the spout of the teapot and fell into the porcelain tea bowl below.

"How...you should have figured something out this time, right?"

Zhang Yuanchen looked bitter.

"Junior has been thinking about it all night, but has not come to any conclusion... But senior should not be from the Divine Court, otherwise there is no need to play these tricks with junior."

He paused and then said: "Senior is obviously not from the Zhengfa Taoist Academy or a fairy family. I guess that senior has nothing to do with the many demons and gods in the underworld. The other side of the Immortal Palace is our biggest enemy.

Historically, the attitude towards our Dixianglu monks has been more cruel than that of Shenting, and they should not be their people. I have to admit that the juniors really can’t guess the identity of the seniors. "

"Since I can't guess."

He Ping smiled and replied: "Then I have to send you back again. I hope you can understand the key."

As he spoke, Youyou raised a finger.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Yuanchen quickly shouted stop.

"how?"

He Ping stopped and asked with a smile: "Could it be that you still want to make excuses?"

"Not so."

Zhang Yuanchen said in a deep voice: "Junior, I just thought of a possibility, that is, what does the senior want to get from the junior?"

He added: "What I couldn't figure out at first was why the seniors asked me to guess... In fact, with the junior's ability, if the guess is not correct, what does it mean to the seniors? Do the seniors really need me? The answer? Or is it just to tease me?"

"Yeah...why didn't I tease you?"

He Ping kept smiling.

"Because for seniors, the experiences of these different timelines are also consistent."

Zhang Yuanchen answered decisively: "The junior's talent of 'time retrieval' should be sensed by the senior with great magic power, and he can interfere with different timelines. It is a bit weird to do such a troublesome thing."

He took a deep breath and replied: "So, I think senior doesn't need me to guess anything at all, but is trying to make me understand something... No, he probably wants to use me to convey certain information!"

"You guessed it right."

He Ping nodded and stood up from the chair silently.

At this moment, the surrounding scenery was shattered and spun, and everything was involved in the chaotic time and space.

At the same time, someone let out a long sigh, which reached He Ping's ears across time.
