44. Win the dry chapter (3)
Under the Qinghong Sword Sect, Elder Tu Ling has a very cherished disciple named "Tu Yuan".
It is said that this Tu Yuan was originally selected by Elder Tu Ling from his own Tu Jiazhuang, a child with spiritual roots and qualified cultivation.
Because they are relatives of their own family and are from the same lineage, after Elder Tu Ling brought him to the Qinghong Sword Sect, he loved Tu Yuan very much, and chose the best cultivation method for him, countless rare spirit herb pills, relying on these pills, he promoted a junior who had only cultivated for about a hundred years to the Jindan stage.
You must know that there are countless disciples under the Qinghong Sword Sect, but not every disciple can receive special treatment such as "Tu Yuan", many disciples have cultivated for hundreds of years, but they can only pass the foundation building period and reach the enlightenment stage, and further on, they will need more time and energy to cultivate and struggle.
The "Jindan Period" is an unattainable realm for these disciples at the grassroots level, and some disciples have no way to reach the Jindan Stage in their lives or even until they die.
However, Tu Yuan relied on his master's unprincipled preference to go all the way, and he only practiced for two hundred and sixty-two years before he became a monk in the Jindan period, and was known as the next day of the Qinghong Sword Sect.
As for the first day...... It was the eldest disciple of Lu Xuange, the master of the Qinghong Sword Sect, He Qianjue.
It is rumored that He Qianjue is simply a genius of the world, talented, and in the hundred years after being brought to the sect by Lu Xuange, he has become a monk in the Jindan period, and two hundred years later, the infant stage of Tuyuan reached the out-of-body stage, and it only took six hundred years in total to successfully cross the catastrophe and become a monk in the Mahayana stage, only one step away from ascending to the immortal realm.
However, later, the demon world invaded, He Qianjue gave up the best opportunity to ascend, and chose to follow the master to the front line to resist the demon army, and then it was revealed that he was a spy of the demon clan, and was sealed into the rare magic weapon "Sealing Heaven Mirror" by Lu Xuange himself.
After a thousand years, Lu Xuange, the master of the Qinghong Sword Sect, had already ascended to the Immortal Realm, and it was said that he had now become an immortal of the Daluo Golden Immortal level, but he would occasionally descend from the Immortal Realm to return to the Qinghong Sword Sect established by himself to visit his old people or disciples.
Compared with He Qianjue's "true genius", Tu Yuan's cultivation, which relied on the spirit grass pill to barely pile up, is much more unreliable.
A thousand years have passed since the invasion of the demon realm, and Tu Ling, who had already arrived at the Jindan stage, had barely cultivated for a thousand years, and now it was still only the Yuan Infant Stage behind the Jin Dan, so that many disciples who were at the same time as Tu Ling back then, or even more than his later disciples, had already broken through the Yuan Infant and developed backwards, only Tu Yuan was still in the same place.
One of the reasons is that many people want to get it, originally Tu Yuan's cultivation was basically forcibly improved by pills, just like pulling out seedlings to grow, the foundation is unstable, the mood is uneven, the more difficult it is to make progress in the future, the more difficult it is to make progress, the person who was born Tu Yuan was pampered and arrogant in the early years, and developed an arrogant and invincible character, thinking that as long as he is willing to work hard, then wanting to improve the realm is the same as playing, it is very simple, it is a very easy thing.
The more he thought about it, the more he was surpassed by those who came after him.
When he found that he had been left far behind, Tu Yuan panicked a little.
The panicked Tu Yuan went to beg his master, but his master Tu Ling had already successfully crossed the catastrophe and was facing the important juncture of flying to the immortal realm at any time, so he was actively preparing to go to the immortal realm, and did not put too much thought into his beloved disciple. In the face of Tu Yuan's request, Tu Ling only said that he should stabilize his state of mind, cultivate solidly, and consolidate his foundation, which will naturally be brought up after a long time.
Tu Yuan was already accustomed to relying on pills to quickly improve his cultivation, how could he obediently follow his master's instructions to cultivate solidly, all he was thinking about was how to get a good spirit herb pill or heaven and earth spirit treasure, and he would do it overnight, and he would trample those who mocked him under his feet.
For this reason, Tu Yuan did everything he could, relying on various means to abduct and deceive, rob other people's magic weapons and pills, and even did things to kill people and seize treasures, and for a while he became infamous, and his status in the Qinghong Sword Sect was also in jeopardy, plus the master Tu Ling, who had been protecting him, had gone to the fairy world, and no one in the Qinghong Sword Sect was willing to protect him anymore, and he began to become in a difficult situation.
But when Ying Qian first met Tu Yuan, he was clearly not such a person.
When I first met Tu Yuan, it was only about a hundred years since Tu Yuan was brought into the Qinghong Sword Sect by Tu Ling, and at that time, Tu Yuan was just a handsome young man who loved to play tricks.
……
Ying Qian came out of the old man's office of the hospital director, and then stood in the corridor and thought for a while.
He learned two things from the director, about the mirror that was placed at the entrance of the hospital.
First, the mirror was indeed moved by Tu Yuan to the dean, but the dean did not know where Tu Yuan got this mirror from.
Second, when Tu Yuan gave the mirror to the dean, he seemed to be very flustered, with an expression of being anxious to throw this hot potato to others, and he also used the excuse that he was going to travel far away and couldn't take this mirror with him, so he had to leave it for the dean as a souvenir.
With just these two pieces of information, Ying Qian can basically guess one or two, I'm afraid that this mirror was stolen by Tu Yuan from the forbidden land of the Qinghong Sword Sect, thinking about what valuable things could be sold to other monks in exchange for good magic weapons or spiritual herbs and pills, but it turned out that it was worthless, and the act of stealing things was noticed by some people in the Qinghong Sword Sect, so he was in a hurry and casually found a mortal and threw it to him.
Decades later, the mirror has been in the lobby of Xikou Hospital.
The Qinghong Sword Sect didn't seem to pay much attention to this thing, no one deliberately came to look for it, and the mirror was always there.
However, Ying Qian had followed the Zhuo family for a long time, and it was clear that there was something strange about the mirror, and Ying Qian wanted to investigate, but he was afraid that it would cause something bad.
After thinking about it, Ying Qian finally made up his mind to go to the mirror to find out, he always had to get the answer, and this answer could only be fought for by himself.
……
That night, when there was no one in the middle of the night, Ying Qian walked into the gate of Xikou Hospital again, and walked towards the mirror in the hospital hall, he stood in front of the mirror for a long time, and still couldn't see anything unusual about this mirror, from the appearance, this mirror is clearly a huge ordinary mirror, although it is entangled with some indescribable power, but it is very weak, so weak that it can be ignored.
Ying Qian stretched out his hand and touched the big mirror, which was cold and hard, and there was nothing unusual.
Ying Qian squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and reached out and knocked on the mirror politely.
There was no reaction, so Ying Qian waited for a while, then reached out and knocked again.
After Ying Qian knocked on the mirror several times, the mirror finally gave him a reaction, just when he reached out to touch the mirror, the mirror seemed to turn into a pool of clear water, he found that his hand could reach into the mirror, with his movements, the mirror also rippled in a circle, which made Ying Qian's heart, which seemed to have stopped beating for a long time, he hesitated for a moment, and then raised his feet and stepped into the mirror.
"What are you knocking in the middle of the night? Do you understand the disturbing dreams!? Believe it or not, I'm beating you?"
As soon as Ying Qian entered, he saw a man with a mantle and only a robe standing in front of him, and he was standing very close, almost face to face, and the other party also reached out and grabbed Ying Gan's shoulder, so that Ying Qian could clearly see the blood in the man's eyes.
Ying Qian paused and responded politely, "Sorry for the interruption." ”
He Qianjue heard the apology, but he didn't ask too much, reached out and pulled up the hair on his forehead, took a step back, and glanced at Yan Snake and Cold Cicada who were still sleeping sweetly on the sofa.
Then he glanced at Ying Qian again and beckoned to him: "You come here." ”
Ying Qian didn't know what was going on, and vaguely knew in his heart that he was probably pulled into the mirror by this strange man in front of him, but after thinking about his purpose, he felt that it would be better to be honest and obedient, so he didn't say anything superfluous, and obediently followed behind He Qianjue, and was taken to a dark corner by him.
He Qianjue pulled a blanket and draped it on himself, sat on the ground face to face with Ying Qian, and then began to whisper to Ying Qian, He Qianjue said, "Say, what's the matter with me?"
"How do you know I'm here for you?" Ying Qian saw that the other party was satisfied, obviously knowing that he would come.
"You have been following my family for so long during the day, and the day before yesterday you wanted to buy the cicada from the Zhuo family and his wife, which means that there is something on the cicada that you are interested in, I think about it, I think I am afraid that the spell I wrote on his body has attracted your attention, so what you are looking for is not the cicada, it is me. He Qianjue was a little depressed when he spoke, and looked at Ying Qian with dissatisfaction: "If you come to find me, you have to come in the middle of the night!
Ying Qian was also very surprised when he saw that He Qianjue had learned the identity of his zombie, and was stunned for a while. couldn't help but take a closer look at He Qianjue, He Qianjue's appearance was very young, but the spell and spell engraving techniques were quite sophisticated, guessing that He Qianjue must be a highly qualified senior, so Ying Qian's attitude also became respectful, bowed his head and said: "I'm very sorry, senior." ”
"No need to apologize, tell me what you came for. He Qianjue didn't have the heart to listen to his nonsense, and wanted to cut straight to the topic.
Seeing that he was so direct, Ying Qian also went straight to the point and said: "Since ancient times, the means of controlling the puppet body have only been in the hands of a few very clever cultivators, and it is a top-level forging spell that has been passed down for thousands of years, and as long as the cultivator who knows this forging technique, he also knows the way to control and order the puppet. ”
Chapter 61
"So what?" He Qianjue squinted at Ying Qian.
Ying Qian continued: "Senior, I know that in the puppet control spell, there is a spell called the 'Life and Death Order'. ”
He Qianjue's head grew when he heard him speak, and he scratched his messy hair and interrupted: "In short, in order to better control the puppet, the person who makes the puppet will place a spell on the puppet, which is called the 'life and death order', this life and death order can make the puppet's master unconditionally control the life and death of the puppet, let the puppet live if he is happy, and let the puppet die if he is unhappy, because of the existence of this life and death order, the puppets have to obey the master's various requirements in order to survive." ”
"That's right, this is it. "What I want to know is, is there a way to lift this 'life and death order'?"
Hearing Ying Qian say this, He Qianjue laughed thoughtfully, squinted at him and said, "You won't be given this so-called 'life and death order', right?"
Hearing He Qianjue's words, Ying Qian did not answer, he lowered his head and was silent.
The life and death order can also be called a curse, but its main use is a decree used by puppeteers to control their own puppets, so it is generally impossible to place it on a living person, but unfortunately, Ying Qian is not a living person, so if he is hit by this life and death order, it will be very sad, he must unconditionally serve the person who gave him this decree, otherwise he will be scattered, and he will never recover.
Ying Qian said: "Someone did put this spell on me, I really want to get rid of it, so I have been looking for a way to help me lift this spell for many years, the day before yesterday when I saw the spell engraved on the puppet body on the doll, I guessed that I am afraid that a cultivator with some ability made this doll, so I want to get this doll and seek some clues for myself." ”
"I have one more question. He Qianjue listened to Ying Qian's words, thought for a while and asked, "Who is the person who gave you the curse?"
Ying Qian hesitated again, but felt that there was no need to hide it, so he replied honestly: "Elder Tu Ling of the Qinghong Sword Sect, the eldest disciple Tu Yuan." ”
Ying Qian's words made He Qianjue raise his head and glance at Ying Qian, and then said, "You go out." ”
One sentence made Ying Qian stunned: "Wait a minute...... Predecessor...... As long as you can help me break this spell, whatever the request......"
"Get out. He Qianjue interrupted him, his tone was calm and irrefutable, the blood red in his eyes expanded, his expression became impersonal, and his voice was cold and repeated: "Don't let me repeat it again and again." ”
"May I ask why?" Ying Qian did not give up, he had been looking for hundreds of years to find a way to lift the life and death order, but there were very few people who could help him, and He Qianjue in front of him was equivalent to a life-saving straw for him, but He Qianjue ruthlessly rejected him as soon as he opened his mouth.
He Qianjue said: "I don't want to have anything to do with the Qinghong Sword Sect, as long as there are people or demons or other ghosts related to that Sword Sect, I won't pay attention to it." ”
"But I've ...... There's no way around it. Ying Qian didn't know what to do, he looked very flustered and at a loss.
He Qianjue carefully looked at the zombie in front of him.
Ying Qian tied himself very tightly, and his hands and feet were wrapped in black cloth in circles. Even the face under the hood, He Qianjue took a closer look and found that his face was also wrapped in the black cloth, and he basically couldn't see what his facial features looked like.
He actually looks very clean, his clothes and hair feel spotless, which is completely different from the image He Qianjue imagined in his heart, He Qianjue thought that he would see a strange person with a foul smell all over his body.
He Qianjue sniffed and sniffed hard, feeling that there was indeed a faint ...... on Ying Qian's body It's not a very comfortable smell, but the smell is very light, and if you don't get too close, you can't smell it basically, and then think of his zombie identity, and I know that this is probably unavoidable no matter what.
Because zombies are corpses that have become sperm, and the corpses are turned into a kind of monsters, which are not considered living creatures. Since they are already corpses, no matter how they cultivate, they can't be fragrant, but some zombies don't pay special attention to this, and even take pride in it, and they are full of rot and stench and run around the world, which is also very criticized in the demon world.
Although zombies are actually very powerful monsters.
Ying Qian's appearance gave He Qianjue a good impression, which made He Qianjue's attitude towards him a little better, so that even if He Qianjue didn't want to have anything to do with the Qinghong Sword Sect, but looking at Ying Qian's "pitiful", He Qianjue was a little soft-hearted, and said: "I can help you, but there are conditions." ”
He Qianjue's words gave Ying Qian a glimmer of hope again, and he immediately knelt down and bowed his head to He Qianjue respectfully: "Senior, no matter what the conditions are, I will find a way to complete it!"
Seeing that he deserved it so quickly, He Qianjue waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I still have something to ask you." ”
"I want to hear about it. Ying Qian still knelt on the ground and was respectful.
He Qianjue really couldn't stand the fact that others were so respectful to him, which made him uncomfortable, so he reached out and grabbed Ying Qian's arm, pulled him up, and said at the same time: "I don't like people to face me with such a respectful posture, can you talk well?"
Ying Qian straightened up, bowed his head and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, senior." ”
He Qianjue held his forehead uncomfortably, rubbed his temples, and said, "Okay, let me ask you a question first, when are you ...... How long have you been dead?"
As soon as He Qianjue spoke, Ying Qian was stumped, Ying Qian began to think silently, he seemed to think for a long time, and then replied uncertainly: "Senior, I can't remember how I died, I only know that almost a thousand years have passed since I became conscious and realized that I had become a zombie. ”
"That's the time. He Qianjue listened to his words and guessed: "I remember that when the demon world invaded the human world thousands of years ago, there seemed to be some zombies lurking on the demon side to come to the human world to do evil, you are probably one of the victims at that time, you were bitten to death by zombies, and you don't remember." ”
When Ying Qian heard He Qianjue say this, he suddenly realized: "So that's ......."
"Second question. He Qianjue was not idle, and continued to ask: "How did you get a 'life and death order' by that 'Tu Yuan'?"
He Qianjue's question made Ying Qian can't help but fall into memories.
Ying Qian said: "This matter ...... It's a long story......"
Ying Qian was not called Ying Qian before, he was an ordinary human being thousands of years ago, a child born in a poor family, his parents were farming for a living, and he had no education level, so he gave Ying Qian a name called Wu Yi, and his parents were surnamed Wu.
