"So that's what happened?"
In the palm of He Ping, there is a strange sphere floating. This sphere is turquoise, like a crystal clear jade bead - this thing is actually a kind of puppet, named "Puppet Eye Spirit Orb". On this floating sphere, several holes are moving up, down, left and right, spying on things in the room.
"Puppet Eye Spirit Orb" is a kind of puppet specially used by the Immortal Puppet Sect for reconnaissance. This puppet is only the size of an eyeball, has no attack ability, and does not have the ability to move. However, it can be connected to the caster's field of vision through a secret "Puppet Eye Technique", and can also channel thoughts and record images in it.
"Puppet Eye Spirit Orb" has various conveniences, but it cannot be refined before He Ping's "Nine Palaces Bright Moon Ascension Method" Great Cheng, so he has never used it in the past.
"This thing is similar to the miniature camera in my previous life. It can be placed in some locations for remote monitoring."
"Puppet Eye Spirit Orb" can be directly implanted in the eyes. This is also a puppet that can replace its own eyeballs according to the taboo law of living puppets. Like "Severed Ghost Hand", if you remove your own eyes and reinstall "Puppet Eye Spirit Orb", the functions and effects of "Puppet Eye Spirit Orb" will be greatly improved.
He Ping was careful and did not send other puppets into the pavilion. He was afraid that when he used the power of his soul to trigger certain restrictions in the pavilion, Puppet Eye Spirit Orb was secretly placed in the pavilion. Without using "Puppet Eye Technique", there would be no Law Power fluctuations in this thing.
At this time, he fixed his gaze on "Puppet Eye Spirit Orb", and his soul was transmitted through the air. Through the perspective of "Puppet Eye Spirit Orb", he had a glimpse of everything that happened last night - Wu San's strange encounter at night, and the scene where he turned into a mural on the wall, were all seen by He Ping.
"This is not a haunting. There is no resentment or yin in the attic, nor is it like a formation restriction... Obviously, this is a weird magic. Unfortunately, so far, I still can't see the root of this magic that turns a living person into a painting?"
He Ping thought silently, and soon, he had an idea.
"I don't know, and I haven't heard of it, so I might as well find someone who knows more about the spiritual world and ask."
Thinking of this, he patted Clay Puppet Token on his waist and sent a message with his mind. Not long after, he heard the sound of an old man coughing.
"Junior brother, what do you want from me?"
"Brother, where are you? You keep coughing."
"Stop talking, I'm in a cave doing some chores... By the way, junior brother, what do you want?"
He Ping After hearing what he said, he ignored where he was and explained what happened on his side.
Chixinzi became slightly silent after listening. After a while, the old man's throaty voice came out from Clay Puppet Token.
"I think there must be someone in your attic who can do what you said about 'inducing a living person into Painted Wall'. In my memory, only the 'Painting Immortal Path' person can do it?"
"Painting Immortal Path?"
"In the past, Nine Evils of Longevity was known as the Ten Evils of Outer Dao two hundred years ago. The extra one among the nine evils was named 'Painting Immortal Path'. Painting Immortal Path acted extremely strangely. It is difficult for outsiders to understand the secrets of this sect. They only know that the techniques of this sect are all related to the art of painting."
Chixinzi speaks through Clay Puppet Token.
"However, that Painting Immortal Path has not entered the Daoist dharma. Logically speaking, he should not be included in the 'Ten Evils'. This is because the various spells of this sect are very special. The evil and secretiveness is no less than that of the other nine evils. Outer Dao can be called one of the best in the world."
"Then this Painting Immortal Path came later? How could he be removed from the Ten Evils?"
"No one knows this clearly. Painting Immortal Path disappeared for two hundred years. The specific reason is unknown. Two hundred years have passed in the spiritual world, and Wan'er of this family has not been heard of. As time goes by, people have forgotten it." Chixinzi seemed to shake his head.
"About Painting Immortal Path, I also heard that two hundred years ago, a powerful genius emerged from the 'Painting Immortal Path' lineage. After this person became the leader of Painting Immortal Path, he made great perseverance and great efforts. Determined to use Painting Immortal Path's secret method to create a kind of righteous way to enter the Tao... Hehe, maybe it was because he made such a crazy wish that he suffered a backlash from heaven, which might lead to the destruction of all Painting Immortal Path's family."
He Ping could hear the sarcasm in Chixinzi's voice, but he didn't care and continued to ask Chixinzi about "Painting Immortal Path".
"Junior brother, Painting Immortal Path disappeared two hundred years ago before Great You founded the country. Not many people in the spiritual world know about this sect, and I don't know much about it. However, if that cabinet is really left by Painting Immortal Path, I am really interested in rushing to your place to find out more."
--Then you'd better come. I will definitely find an opportunity to seal the door. It depends on whether you will fall into the "painting" technique of Painting Immortal Path and become a painting on the wall?!
Of course He Ping would not say this in front of the other party. He continued to talk to Chixinzi, who then asked him if he had thought about exploring Sanyuan Devil Palace together.
"I still need to think about it. I will give you an answer within half a month at the latest."
He Ping replied dully.
"Easy to say."
Chixinzi disconnected the call.
"Painting Immortal Path?"
He Ping touched "Puppet Eye Spirit Orb" in the palm of his hand, thought for a moment, and felt that the investigation in the attic was probably not based on Chixinzi, who was focused on getting into the matter of "Sanyuan Devil Palace".
"Forget it, find a few more scoundrels like Wu San, throw them in and give them a try. If you explore a few more times, you can always find some clues."
"Cough cough cough..."
Chixinzi coughed violently. He was in a cave that had been abandoned for many years. The light here was dim. Only through the light green luminous moss on the roof of the cave, he could see the surrounding scenery clearly.
Dang Dang Dang Dang!
The sound of a pickaxe hitting the stone heavily came from the side. The old man stood up slowly and moved his eyes to another part of the cave. There was a weird Stone Cocoon on the rock wall in the cave. A strong young man was beating the Stone Cocoon with a pickaxe.
This person is none other than Cheng Zhi. He is completely lost and his eyes are empty. He is like a controlled puppet, mechanically and numbly wielding a pickaxe, beating this weird Stone Cocoon.
"Use more force, don't act like you haven't eaten."
Chixinzi spoke in a deep voice, and Cheng Zhi moved a little faster. The old man sat down again, his face turned a little livid, his right hand trembled slightly, he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, took out a soybean-sized black red pill and swallowed it.
"Oh, Wu Yousheng mistaken me..."
After taking the medicine, the old man sighed, took out a gold-embroidered book and flipped through it.
This booklet was very similar to the book <Formless Secret Treasury> in He Ping's hand. The old man sat up and opened the cover. The yellowed title page had pale gold text printed on it.
--"Come into my Puppet Sect and keep my oath: All my Puppet Sect disciples must keep my words and follow my orders. This sect <Formless Secret Treasury> is divided into five volumes, each volume contains an oath... Yours The third oath of the heart is: You must be single-minded to inherit my karma and pass on my Dharma. You may not practice any technique other than the Puppet Sect entrance to the Tao. If you violate this oath, you will suffer Curse, no more effort, and retreat day and night..."
"If you no longer work hard, you will retreat day and night!
Chixinzi Every time I read this, I can't help but want to scream.
"It goes back day and night... If I had known the joints, why would I have bothered to learn the Outer Dao technique to make up for the shortcomings of <Formless Secret Treasury>."
The old man whispered to himself, "Immortal Puppet Sect... and Wu Yousheng, everything has been designed from the beginning!
Junior Brother He, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Five Oaths of the Puppet Sect influence each other. As long as Immortal Puppet Sect disciples cultivate the <Formless Secret Treasury> in their hands to a certain extent, After the achievement, the five oaths between each other will be able to communicate with each other. As long as you try to learn the technique of <Seed Demon Technique>, this oath will also bind you. Soon, the 'day and night retreat' that I suffered will also fall on you."
After saying that, he heard the sound of tapping Stone Cocoon and stopped, and stood up in confusion.
Soon, in the next second, Chixinzi's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he seemed to have seen an incredible scene.
"Cheng Tianyou... The man's body is missing?!"
