"The so-called scriptures are passed on to the mouth, and the Buddha appears in one. The scriptures recited by the Zen Venerable are so profound that even if they were passed on to our sect, we would not be able to comprehend the mysteries. I just ask Zen Zun to recite the scriptures a few times for these disciples of my Heavenly Puppet Sect. ”

"What kind of request is this?" The incomprehensible crowd speculated in their hearts about the intentions of the Heavenly Puppet Gate, and the Lingxiao people were no strangers to Zhang Zhao's frequent recitation of scriptures, but it seemed that the objects of his recitation were all dying or dead beings.

He never read the scriptures to the living. Gu Yan couldn't help laughing: "Could it be that you Heavenly Puppet Sect feel that you have nothing to love in life, and you can't plan to commit suicide collectively?" If that's the case, Senior Brother Zhang Zhao will definitely give you a ride." ”

Ling Xiao and the people of Jiuyou laughed together, and the senior brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect looked at Zhang Zhao, and waited until the surrounding voices calmed down before bowing again: "I hope that Zen Venerable will have mercy and agree to our request." ”

Zhang Zhao didn't laugh with everyone, he keenly felt that the senior brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect was indeed sincere with his soul method, and there was a strong melancholy in his heart, and it was this melancholy that made Zhang Zhao feel that they must have encountered something difficult.

"What difficulties are you encountering?" Zhang Zhao saw the slightly changing expression on the face of the Heavenly Puppet Sect Senior Brother and knew that he felt right: "I want to know the ins and outs of the whole thing, if it is possible to cause harm to others, then it is absolutely impossible." ”

The Heavenly Puppet Sect Senior Brother stood silent for a moment, carefully understood the meaning of Zhang Zhao's words, and then asked carefully, "Listening to the meaning of Zen Venerable, if it doesn't affect others, you can agree to our request?"

He didn't say that. Mo Junfeng was afraid that Zhang Zhao would be deceived by words like that day, so he spoke up first: "Senior Brother Zhang means to listen to you first, as for whether you agree or not, I will talk about it after listening." ”

Zhang Zhao understood what Mo Junfeng meant, he smiled and said: "Senior Brother Mo is right, you have to be extremely cautious in every word you say, you first tell me why I want to recite the scriptures to you, and then I will decide." ”

Senior Brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect understood the reason for Zhang Zhao's reaction: "Naturally, it was Senior Brother Xi who deceived Chan Zun first that day, and we can also give Chan Zun an explanation for what we are asking for." ”

As the saying goes, people have three souls and seven spirits, but there are not many people who really understand the soul thing, the heavenly puppet gate has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are some experiences on this Tao, and I will briefly explain it for Zen Zun below. ”

"The three souls are the soul of heaven, the soul of the earth, the soul of man, and the main soul of the heavenly soul, which makes the human heart open and never forget, which is the innate endowment of everyone, and the lack of the heavenly soul is stupid. ”

"The soul of the earth is awake, so that people know etiquette and righteousness, and shame, which has a great relationship with what they are born to see, and is more susceptible to the influence of external forces. ”

"The human soul is born, determines the life expectancy of life, walks and moves, is influenced by the inheritance of surnames through the ages, and is closely related to the physical body. When the three souls and the physical body are combined, the human soul is the main one, and if the human soul is damaged, the three souls will fly together. ”

"The seven spirits exist in the body, governed by the three souls, the seven spirits are born calm and calm, everything can get along calmly, the seven spirits are too prosperous, the joy and sorrow are difficult to control, and if the seven spirits are damaged, they will love and dislike deeply in their hearts, and they will never be shaped. ”

When Senior Brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect said this, all the people around him had already put away their contemptuous and sneering faces, and listened attentively to every word he said. Although these cultivators had never been exposed to these soul theories on a daily basis, they also felt that there was indeed truth in them.

"If a person is about to die, the three souls are unstable and the seven spirits are shaken, and the heavenly soul and the earth soul are classified into yin and yang after leaving the body, but the human soul is wandering between heaven and earth, and it is lingering next to its own ** within seven days, which is why there is a seven-day soul return. ”

Zhang Zhao interrupted when he heard this: "If it is really like what you said, can your Heavenly Puppet Sect have a way to return the yang?" It has been less than seven days since Senior Brother Gao passed away, if you can bring him back to life, I will agree to your request." ”

The senior brother of the Heavenly Puppet Gate smiled bitterly: "As I said below, among the three souls, the Heavenly Puppet Gate can only reluctantly recall the human soul into the body, so that the physical body can walk freely, but the two souls of heaven and earth cannot be recalled." ”

He pointed to the strange corpse behind him and said: "The human soul is not separated, and if it is attached to the body, it will become a heavenly puppet. ”

"It is rumored that if the human soul is not separated, and the power of heaven and earth can be mobilized to find the heavenly soul and the earth soul, and the three souls are one, it is called reincarnation. It's just that if the physical body is dead, we can't figure out how to possess it?"

"Just say it bluntly, can Senior Brother Gao come back from the dead?" Zhang Zhao asked with a glimmer of hope, and Senior Brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect shook his head slowly: "At least judging from the current cultivation of our waiting, this matter is absolutely impossible. ”

Zhang Zhao sighed in disappointment: "Then what do you have to do with the difficulties you are encountering now?" The senior brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect sighed with him: "Originally, we used the Heavenly Puppet Technique to summon human souls into the corpse, and then fused with our own heaven and earth souls, once we succeeded, it was like having one more clone, the higher the cultivation of the Heavenly Puppet, the stronger the power we can exert naturally." ”

"Over the years, some seniors have found that things are not so simple, originally thought that there was nothing else besides getting a heavenly puppet after the corpse, who knew that the temperament of several seniors in the door also changed after cultivating to the Great Advancement. ”

"As far as Senior Brother Xi is concerned, he used to have an indifferent temperament and didn't like to talk much, but these days he has become obedient and irritable. This confirms the experience of the predecessors in the previous sect, he was influenced by the Soul Melting Heavenly Puppet, and his temperament became more and more like our uncle who died young. ”

"The rest of us are also somewhat disturbed by some of the remnants of the Seven Spirits on the Heavenly Golem, and since the existing three souls on the Heavenly Golem are not originally one, we don't know how to eliminate those influences. ”

"For us, we don't know when it will attack, let alone what it will look like after the attack, maybe it will become a bloodthirsty killing like Senior Brother Xi and then be killed, or maybe it will suddenly lose control while practicing in the deep mountains somewhere. This kind of emotion makes each of us unable to concentrate during the practice, and the progress is extremely slow. ”

"After listening to the chanting of the sutra that day, each of us felt very painful, as if both of our bodies were under invisible pressure. However, in the past few days, we have repeatedly realized that the feeling transmitted by the heavenly puppet is much stronger, but those inexplicable emotions have faded a lot, presumably the sutras recited by Zen Zun have some effect on soul melting. ”

"That's why I want to work on the Zen Venerable to chant the sutra several times, if it really has a miraculous effect, the heavenly puppet gate must be grateful. The senior brother of the Heavenly Puppet Gate bowed deeply again: "I hope that Zen Venerable will understand our suffering." ”

"Zhang Zhao, you can't promise them. Although Gu Yan was a little confused about the matter of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, he also knew what the Heavenly Puppet Gate was asking for: "Whether this method can be achieved or not, whether they die or not, has nothing to do with our Lingxiao." It's a thankless task. ”

There was a trace of hesitation on Zhang Zhao's face, he thought that it was just a matter of a few scriptures, why not exchange it for the safety of these people. The senior brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect in front of him misunderstood his expression, and when he heard what Gu Yan said was thankless, he hurriedly explained: "Zen Venerable, don't worry, the Heavenly Puppet Sect doesn't dare to say anything else, and the Immortal Crystal has everything." ”

"As long as Chan Venerable agrees to our request, no matter what the final result is, the Heavenly Puppet Gate will talk about the heart. The senior brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect was afraid that Zhang Zhao would refuse: "I, Xiangkun, make a soul oath here." ”

"Worship the best Zen Immortal Crystal. Before Lingxiao and the people of Jiuyou heard this sky-high price, they heard that the Xiangkun of the Heavenly Puppet Gate hurriedly added: "Everyone." ”

Above the Five Xuans, if an ordinary person has a piece of the best immortal crystal, he can ensure that his descendants will not have to worry about food and clothing for several generations, even if he is a cultivator who has reached the upper three realms, few can earn a piece of the best immortal crystal in his life. The elder brother of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, Xiang Kun, gave a sky-high price of one of the best immortal crystals per person, but only asked Zhang Zhao to recite the scriptures for them a few times.

Lingxiao and the people of Jiuyou were silent, thinking that if this matter fell on their heads, they would blurt out consent by now. Zhang Zhao was naturally shocked when he heard this, but he became more cautious about the requirements made by the Heavenly Puppet Gate.

"Just to listen to the scriptures a few times, you have to pay so much? Your Heavenly Puppet Sect is not famous, where did you get so many immortal crystals?" Zhang Zhao had heard the fat master calculate when he was in the back kitchen, and when he participated in the Baimu Competition, he saved tens of millions of taels of silver for Lingxiao, which had a lot of impact on the entire Lingxiao. The name of the Heavenly Puppet Sect is unknown, how can it be so generous.

Xiang Kun saw that Zhang Zhao's brows were slightly furrowed and he didn't believe it, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't dare to deceive Zen Zun, although the reputation of the Heavenly Puppet Gate is not good, the business has always been good, but we have been trading in the dead, so outsiders have rarely heard of it." ”

After saying this, Xiang Kun looked up and saw that Zhang Zhao was a little unhappy on his face, and immediately understood that he had misunderstood the meaning of the dead man's business: "Zen Venerable, rest assured, everything the Heavenly Puppet Gate does is a legitimate thing, and there is no harm to the heavens and reason, and every business is willing." ”

Xiang Kun was afraid that Zhang Zhao would not believe it, so he explained in detail the business origin of the Heavenly Puppet Gate. There are many wealthy families in Wuxuan, and if they are reluctant to pass away their loved ones, they will try their best to contact the ghost cultivators of the Imperial Corpse Sect.

Although it is impossible to make these people the same as when they were alive, the Heavenly Puppet Sect's corpse cultivation technique can allow them to maintain their original appearance for decades, eating, drinking and walking normally. The wealthy family who can't bear to see their relatives enter the ground in their hearts spends a large amount of immortal crystals to let the heavenly puppet gate provide for their relatives' bodies well, and they often see it at first sight to comfort their thoughts.

There are also rich people who are about to live for the end of their lives with the idea of rebirth, and before they die, they spend a huge amount of money to ask the Heavenly Puppet Gate to preserve their bodies and a wisp of human soul for themselves, so that they can be resurrected with thaumaturgy in the future.

What the Heavenly Puppet Sect came into contact with was a corpse raising business of more than a hundred years that cost dozens of top-grade immortal crystals at every turn. Although there are only a few transactions every year, over the years, the immortal crystals earned are difficult to match even the five major sects.

"So there is still this kind of deal?" Lingxiao and Jiuyou, these young cultivators, were all amazed for the first time when they heard of such strange things, whether it was Lingxiao Jiuyou, they could not be called rich, they naturally couldn't understand the thoughts of those merchants who spent a dozen or even hundreds of top-grade immortal crystals, just to keep a corpse in the appearance of a living person.

Jiang Ruhai, the fat cultivator that Zhang Zhao saved in the realm of life and death, had also been listening to the back, and after Zhang Zhao and Nie Wanqing returned safely that day, the female cultivator with a thunderbolt left silently. However, Jiang Ruhai felt some danger in her eyes, so she stayed in the Lingxiao camp and never left.

"Big brother, what he said is true, I have heard these things before, some businessmen have no children, and they use all the money they have earned in their lives to raise corpses, hoping that they can live again in reincarnation in the future. Jiang Ruhai leaned behind Zhang Zhao and muttered: "But there are more than a dozen of them, and it is impossible for so many top-grade immortal crystals to carry with them." Otherwise, I'll help you ask, big brother?"

Zhang Zhaozheng was skeptical of Xiang Kun's words, and nodded hesitantly after listening to Jiang Ruhai's words, Jiang Ruhai walked up a few steps: "How many of you are there?" Xiang Kun hurriedly reported when he heard this: "Ten people and eight corpses came to the Heavenly Puppet Gate this time, and now there are nine people and eight corpses." ”

Jiang Ruhai calculated quickly in his heart: "Does that mean that there are eight people and eight corpses who want to listen to my eldest brother's chanting?" Seeing that Xiang Kun just nodded, Jiang Ruhai said again: "Okay, there are a total of eight top-grade immortal crystals, you can bring them first." ”

I didn't expect Jiang Ruhai to be so direct, Xiang Kun's face turned red: "This brother, although I have a lot of Heavenly Puppet Immortal Crystals, but our cultivation is too low, how dare we bring it with me......"

"Oh, you didn't bring the immortal crystal with you, why do you think the reputation of your Heavenly Puppet Sect is very good?" Listening to Jiang Ruhai's interruption of Xiang Kun's words, Lingxiao and the people of Jiuyou also reacted: "Dare to love without money, I said that he reported such a large number, who wouldn't just talk about it." ”

When Xiang Kun saw that everyone didn't believe it, he hurriedly looked at Zhang Zhao and bowed down and said: "Zen Zun Mingjian, the best immortal crystals are too valuable, and we really don't dare to take them with us, but Zen Zun can rest assured, no matter what the result of the chanting is, when we return to the door to show our predecessors, eight superb immortal crystals will definitely be sent to your faction." ”

"You still have to show your seniors, you can't be the master, how can you make us believe you?" Jiang Ruhai shook his head again and again: "I don't think this business is going to be a big deal, big brother, we can't agree." ”

Xiang Kun saw that the boiled duck was about to fly, and couldn't help but feel anxious, he saw that Jiang Ruhai seemed to have a good relationship with Zhang Zhao, and hurriedly laughed and said: "This brother, the matter of requiem is very important to our Heavenly Puppet Sect, if it really has an effect, let alone eight, it is twice as much, and the seniors in the door can also agree." ”

"Are you saying that if it works, then everyone will give two top-grade immortal crystals?" Jiang Ruhai asked seemingly casually, Xiang Kun knew that he was speechless for a while, so he had to nod and say: "According to what this brother said, if it works, we will each have two top-grade immortal crystals." ”

In a few words, Jiang Ruhai doubled the price again, and everyone in Lingxiao Jiuyou was silent, thinking that this fat man was really ruthless, and then Jiang Ruhai said again: "But you also know that the eldest brother's senior brother died at the hands of your junior brother, if the eldest brother agrees to help you, it is inevitable that he will be blamed by the master when he goes back." Do you have to make up for it?"

Xiang Kun also made sense when he heard it, nodded and said, "What this brother said is good, but I didn't think about it enough." This matter was my junior brother's broken promise first, and it hurt the lives of your fellow sect......" He thought for a while: "We will offer an additional five top-grade immortal crystals to make amends, so as not to be reprimanded by the master." ”

Jiang Ruhai nodded: "Okay, counting the sixteen you owe before, there are a total of twenty-one top-grade immortal crystals." But how long will it take for you to send these immortal crystals to the eldest brother's master?"

Xiang Kun calculated: "It will take half a month for us to return to the division." To escort so many immortal crystals, you have to wait for a few people to go out of the customs in person, and it will take more than two months to come. Jiang Ruhai stretched out three fingers when he heard this: "Then even if it's three months, okay?"

Thinking that three months was indeed more than enough, Xiang Kun nodded and before he could speak, he heard Jiang Ruhai say again: "Twenty-one top-grade immortal crystals are a lot, if you do business and borrow them for three months, you can also make a lot of money." ”

"According to the profit of one cent per month, the interest of these twenty-one immortal crystals for three months must also have seven or eight, why don't you be generous, write a note of thirty superb immortal crystals, plus the token of your heavenly puppet gate, my eldest brother will recite the scriptures to you first. ”

Not to mention that Xiang Kun was a little confused when he heard this, Lingxiao Jiuyou, who usually took over a lot of business outside, were also dizzy by Jiang Ruhai, and it was obviously a trade of eight top-grade immortal crystals at the beginning, how could he calculate and add thirty to the lion's big mouth?

But Xiang Kun calculated in his heart for a while, and felt that Jiang Ruhai was just adding one or two more to the interest, and seeing that the matter was about to come true, he naturally couldn't care about this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write down the debt." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Xiang Kun bit his finger and wrote the debt of thirty top-grade immortal crystals on a piece of clothing, and wrapped the waist card of his Heavenly Puppet Gate in it and presented it with both hands. Jiang Ruhai stepped forward to check that it was correct, and nodded at Zhang Zhao: "Big brother, what do you think of this?"

Zhang Zhao originally wanted to agree to the request of the Heavenly Puppet Gate, but he didn't expect Jiang Ruhai to ask for so many additional immortal crystals, he felt a little unbearable, so he said to Jiang Ruhai: "There is nothing wrong with chanting, but this immortal crystal is really too ......."

Jiang Ruhai knew what he was going to say as soon as he saw the look on his face, and hurriedly interrupted: "Big brother, thirty is thirty, it's not easy for them to be a puppet, just give your brother a face, and you can agree." ”

Without waiting for Zhang Zhao to say more, Jiang Ruhai nodded at Xiang Kun: "Less, less, my eldest brother agreed, why don't you go and let you people prepare." ”

Xiang Kun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you Zen Venerable." I'll go back and get ready. Looking at Jiang Ruhai, he added: "Thank you for this brother's help." With that, he quickly turned around and left with the puppet.

Jiang Ruhai stuffed a black token from the arrears and the Heavenly Puppet Gate into Zhang Zhao's hand: "Big brother, I don't think there is anything wrong with this, the most important thing for these sects that raise corpses is reputation, if they don't pay back the money, they won't even have business in the future." ”

After speaking, he sighed unsatisfactorily: "It's a pity that I don't know the details of their Heavenly Puppet Gate, I look at his appearance, why do I still feel that thirty is a little less." ”

Looking at Jiang Ruhai's appearance of a profiteer who eats people and does not spit out bones, everyone in Lingxiao Jiuyou sighed in their hearts. This is really unseemly, who knew that this guy Zhang Zhao saved at will in the world of life and death still has such ability. No matter how they thought about it, they felt that the Heavenly Puppet Gate had been slaughtered, but Jiang Ruhai's knife cut without a shadow and invisible, and the more immortal crystals that came out were all justified. Even Xiang Kun, who was bloodied, was still thanking him when he left.

"Brother Jiang, this ......" Zhang Zhao pinched the IOU in his hand and was still a little incredulous, he thought that it was all Jiang Ruhai's credit and hurriedly said: "How can this be given to me?"

Jiang Ruhai looked at Zhang Zhaozheng and said: "Big brother, you don't hesitate to open Ruyi Pavilion in order to save my life, this kindness Jiang Ruhai is hard to repay, our brothers will come to Japan for a long time, and I won't say anything to thank you, but if you call me Brother Jiang again, then you really look down on me." ”

Zhang Zhao has been calling others with a mouth full of senior brothers and sisters since he entered Lingxiao, and it took a lot of effort to say: "Since this is the case, then thank you Brother Ruhai, I will accept this fairy crystal." ”

Jiang Ruhai was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you big brother for your success, I still have to rely on you to protect me, big brother." The spicy woman who broke into our cave was discovered by me, and when she left, she had a murderous face, and she must have been blocking me outside. ”

Looking at the disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect who were waiting in a circle in the distance for Zhang Zhao to chant the scriptures, Jiang Ruhai said arrogantly: "But don't worry, big brother." As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and when our brothers earn a lot of fairy crystals in their hands, what Ruyi Pavilion burns in the city, it's not that you can buy it if you want to, and you can kill it if you want to. ”

The aura overflowing from the realm of life and death has spread these days, and the surrounding grass and trees for more than a hundred miles are much taller and more lush, and the sides of the road leading to the outside are even more lush, and in a dense forest near the fork of this road, between the dense branches and leaves of a towering tree, a pair of eyes are like poisonous snakes staring at everyone who passes by on the road with cold light.

The teams of each sect leaving from the realm of life and death must first pass through this road, and then go to all parts of the five mysteries from the fork in the road in front of them, and the owner of these eyes is naturally the mysterious female cultivator who was broken by Jiang Ruhaidao, she has been watching here since the end of the realm of life and death, and she has been on this tree for three days and three nights.

If it weren't for the scruples of Lingxiao Nine Ghosts that day, there were many powerful people. Based on Jiang Ruhai's speculation about her, she had already thrown a few thunderbolts on her body. In order to be safe, she left the realm of life and death early, but secretly waited here, thinking that she could kill Jiang Ruhai to prevent future troubles.

On the way, the cultivator dialed over, and the female cultivator carefully inspected that there was no figure of Jiang Ruhai in it, and when the team of the Lingxiao faction walked by, she saw that Zhang Zhao and the others were not among them, and Jiuyou and the others did not even have a shadow.

Although she didn't know that the people in Lingxiao were guarding Gao Xingyuan for seven days, she guessed that something must have happened to them and they didn't return with the team. Someone else changed, either got up and left or went to investigate, but this female cultivator had amazing forbearance, and still waited motionless in the tree.

Only in the middle of the night, she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep for a while, and then stared intently at the movement on the road, although on the third day, there were only two sects of people passing by for a whole day and a night, but she was still full of confidence, thinking that Jiang Ruhai would pass by this road sooner or later, and was finally killed by her.
