2 I learned from my short life...
He Ping studied "Invisible Secret Collection" for several years, and gradually, he realized a strange thing, that is, his physical condition was getting worse and worse.
In fact, the techniques in "Invisible Secret Collection" have disadvantages, and practitioners are most afraid of being impatient.
Because according to the method of the Puppet Immortal Sect, it requires consuming one's own essence and blood when making or controlling puppets. In addition, some of the techniques practiced are too insidious, which reduces a lot of life during practice.
On the other hand, in the past few years, he has no longer dreamed of Wuyousheng and cannot ask for help from this "yin master".
Moreover, when it reached this point, He Ping also realized that the techniques uploaded from "Invisible Secret Collection" had serious disadvantages.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to wake up at this time.
Due to excessive loss of physical condition, my life span is not many years.
He Ping was naturally unwilling to give up. He thought of many remedies, such as looking for strange people and people in practice, but he never found anything;
He secretly found many famous doctors to treat him, but the conclusions he came to were pessimistic.
A famous doctor told him that his body was suffering from the "blood-drying" disease. It seemed that there was a funnel in his body, and all the essence, blood and energy were sucked into the funnel. No matter what kind of prescriptions and techniques were used, it would not be cured for this terminal illness.
Later, He Ping secretly asked someone to inquire about the "Immortal Puppet Sect" and was surprised to find that the Immortal Puppet Sect was a secret sect that had disappeared for nearly a hundred years. It was a cult force strictly prohibited by the government. It is said that it was wiped out by the government.
After receiving this news, He Ping did not dare to leak any news about his affairs, for fear of attracting influence from the government.
Even if the He family is a little powerful in Sui'an City, it cannot be compared with the government of the Dayou Dynasty. If the news leaks out, it will be a problem to be arrested by the government as a cult.
"Wuyousheng may be the successor of the Immortal Puppet Sect. It's really strange. If he really had this ability, why would he have fallen to this point?"
He Ping was extremely confused about Wuyousheng's later experience, and at the same time, he was also confused and uneasy about his future.
"Is it possible that I can only choose the taboo secret method in the last article of "Invisible Secrets"? If I want to survive, I can only use puppet technique to transform myself, replace all my flesh and blood, and turn it into a living puppet?"
He turned the "Invisible Secret" in his hand to the last page. The volume records an unusual secret technique. Through this secret technique called "taboo", he turned into a living puppet that is immortal.
Living puppets are puppets transformed from humans. They need to use spells to replace flesh and blood with puppet limbs, and even fragments of internal organs and other parts. This has an advantage, one is that the body is a puppet, which is equivalent to immortality;
The second is that no matter what injuries you suffer in the future, as long as you replace the injured part, it will have no effect.
"If this secret method is successful, I will not be a human, but a non-human existence. I have become a living puppet, and some of the happiness in the world will never be enjoyed." He Ping sighed in his heart.
However, he also knew that he didn't have many choices, and this taboo method might be his last path.
"If you don't be a human being, you won't be a human being!"
He made up his mind secretly.
"After all, I learned from my short life that human abilities have limits...unless it is beyond humans."
——Yes, this is a famous saying!
However, you must also make sufficient preparations to practice taboo methods.
The method of refining puppets by the Immortal Puppets is particularly time-consuming, financial and material.
In the past two years, he has spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find this thousand-sen camphor tree that is only available in southern Xinjiang, and made this "Nine Death Replacement Witch Puppet" in preparation for this matter.
"It's just before that, there's something I must figure out."
He Ping remembered the old man named "Wuyousheng" who taught his "Invisible Secret Collection". Now that he remembered what happened back then, he couldn't help but wonder.
"When I had contact with Wuyousheng back then, maybe there was something strange about the incident in the mountain temple?"
He felt that he needed to go to the mountain temple again and figure out the mystery hidden in this matter.
...
"Dig, dig it quickly, give me some effort!!"
He Fusheng, the butler of the He family, shouted loudly.
"You haven't eaten yet, just put some force on your hands and feet!"
At night, there were no stars or moons. A deserted tomb not far from the mountain temple was hired by the He family torches in black uniforms to surround the deserted tombs.
Dozens of servants from the He family, who were fighting for a short time, were holding hoes and digging a large pit in front of a grave.
He Ping sat in front of a temporary bamboo shed beside him. His complexion was a bit sick, wearing a white fox fur without a trace of color, holding a cup of ginseng tea in both hands, and his face was a little cold.
After a while, the housekeeper He Fusheng ran over with a lantern excitedly.
"Young Master, the coffin has been dug out. Should you get it out or you can go see it yourself."
As soon as he heard He Fusheng's words, He Ping's eyes lit up.
"I'll go see it myself."
"Okay, please be careful, young master," the butler He Fusheng lifted the lantern and led him to the digging of deep pit in front.
He Ping approached the lonely grave, and a deep pit was dug in front of the grave. He stood in front of the pit and saw a three-inch-thick thin coffin.
This thin coffin is made of cypress wood, which is the cheap coffin chosen by the poor. It has a commonly known as "Dog Head", which means that when you encounter a wild dog foraging on a mass grave, you can hit it through it by hitting your head a few times.
"Open."
He stood outside the pit and ordered, and several servants pried open the coffin lid of the coffin. The moment the coffin lid was opened, a smell of corrupt smell with a musty smell came out of the air, and everyone subconsciously retreated.
At this moment, He Ping jumped down. He held a lantern in one hand and covered his mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in potion with the other hand, bringing the distance closer.
Surprisingly, there was no corpse that turned into bones in the coffin, but the body of an old man with ragged hair.
“…Worry-free.”
He Ping stared at the incorruptible corpse with a deep and deep eyes.
He let go of the cloth covering his mouth and nose, stretched out his right hand, groped on the old man's body, and pressed his chest again, and found that his skin was soft and his bones seemed strong, as if he had just died for a while.
"I see."
He grabbed one hand and folded it hard at the joint. With a "knock", the arm of the little hand broke.
He Ping raised the lantern, picked up the broken hand, stared at the broken place, and couldn't help but smile in silence.
"The human bones, muscles and skin forged by Thoreau ghost wood are also made of skin and gum. Wuyousheng, Wuyousheng, you really lied to me so miserable..."
He knew very well that the opportunity ten years ago and the "Yin Master's teachings" were all carefully designed scams.
——The old man who died of frozen death in the mountain temple was nothing more than a forged corpse. In fact, I should have thought that if the Wuyousheng had really mastered the strange man in "The Invisible Secret", with his ability, he would have fallen to that level.
"This may be a game, I was designed from the beginning."
The more He Ping thought about it, the more he felt heartbroken, and the more he felt heartbroken.
"My body is getting worse and worse, can it be designed? The other party's ultimate goal is to let me practice the last taboo method, and I hope I will sacrifice myself into a living puppet?"
Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind and his heart suddenly sank.
After He Ping conducted an investigation through various means, he discovered that the Immortal Puppet Sect was a force listed as an evil sect by the Dayou court. This cult is good at making all kinds of strange puppets.
I don’t know why, but this evil sect offended the government and was wiped out by the army sent by the Dayou Dynasty.
"The court, the court in this world is not simple. Logically speaking, the inheritance method of the Immortal Puppet Sect is not weak. How did the Dayou court wipe out the Immortal Puppet Sect?"
He Ping also found that ordinary people in this world have very shallow understanding of supernatural intelligence. The government seems to be secretly controlling and supervising information, and strictly prohibiting ordinary people from exploring this information. As for management methods, they almost start from the simplest books.
The governments of the Dayou Dynasty blocked papermaking and printing technology and regulated and controlled various books circulating among the people. Most of the historical documents involving the previous dynasties were confiscated.
Under this background, it is a crime for ordinary people to collect books in private. The government explicitly prohibits private people from carving books privately. Books such as picture, prophecies, divination, and square skills are all banned books and are not allowed to be passed down from generation to generation. Moreover, because of the banned books, the court issued an edict to launch several prisons, arrested many people and cut off many heads.
As a time traveler, He Ping has a unique perspective and his delicate thoughts made him notice a little abnormality. His feeling was that the government seemed to be deliberately ignoring the policy of fooling the people in order to prevent the circulation of knowledge.
