Chapter 519: Yin Puppet
I sat down on a stone bench and read it quickly. At the bottom of the forest house that day, I heard the old camel say that the Yin Puppet Technique is the pinnacle of alchemy and the secret technique that people in the corpse sect of the past generations have diligently pursued. At this time, when I looked at it, I realized that although this yin puppet was based on alchemy, it was different from the same corpse refining.
In alchemy, what is refined is the corpse, but what the yin puppet is refining is the living. To put it in detail, it is a half-dead person. That is to say, to refine the Yin Puppet. It is necessary to rush when this person's yang energy is extinct, the yin energy is not born, and the dying is not dead.
And the yin puppet after refining cannot be regarded as a living person, but it cannot be regarded as a dead person, it is a bardo body, neither yin nor yang, neither human nor ghost.
After reading it, I pondered for a while, got up and rushed back to the stone hall. When the white ape saw the two goods, he followed with a chirp.
Back in the hall, I checked the situation of the two of them, there were a few talismans, and the breath of the two of them was still there, but it could be interrupted at any time. I opened the scroll and memorized one of the techniques of the Yin Puppet Technique.
This Yin Puppet Technique was originally based on alchemy, and was extended on this basis. I was carefully taught by the old camel in Linwu Mountain, and I am naturally familiar with alchemy. After deducing it in my mind a few times, I immediately folded my fingers and followed the method. He made a puppet seal, pressed it into the white-faced demon brain, and then silently recited a spell in his heart, sealing the puppet seal from the heavenly gate.
This puppet seal entered the body at this time, and had no other effect. The only purpose is to balance the yin and yang qi in the body of the person who is about to die, so that he will not die and turn into the body of bardo. At this time, the white-faced demon received this seal, and although his breath was not broken, he was already not alive.
According to the funeral book, this step is often the most difficult. Because in the process of sealing, as long as there is a slight difference, the yin and yang may be unstable, and the bardo body will be burned by the yin fire before it is completed.
So it's impossible for ordinary people to do this. Only those cultivators who are themselves yin and yang stable and the five elements are strong can be refined into yin puppets.
I saw that the white-faced demon was nothing unusual, so I turned to Zhong Lingxiu and concocted it in the same way, sealing a puppet seal in her body.
After the two of them sealed into their bodies, there was no longer any talk of life and death. The white ape's second cargo circled around the white-faced demon, snorting angrily from time to time, and poking his head with his fingers from time to time.
At this time, I breathed a sigh of relief, and after checking again, I stopped bothering. Put away the funeral book, greet the two goods, and go back to Shigu. Halfway through, I felt that my legs were weak, and I almost fell to the ground, and I was carried to the shoulders by the second cargo, and I went back to Shigu.
By this time, it was already getting dark. I tossed all night, physically and mentally exhausted, and fell asleep as soon as I plunged into bed. When I woke up, when I opened my eyes, I saw the second cargo standing at the door, grinning at me, and smelling the aroma of fish and shrimp roasted in my nose. I turned over on the bed, and I only felt sore, but after sleeping this night, my strength has recovered a lot.
Go out and have a look. By this time it was already dark, and it was already evening. After a full meal, I suddenly felt a lot better, and went up to the stone hall to check it out. The two of them now looked like a corpse, cold all over. His lips were dark, but his body was still very soft.
After leaving the stone hall, he glanced at the shore from a distance, only to find that the fishing boat was gone. The reason why the crew who wanted to come here was forced by Zhong Lingxiu, and now that she hasn't gone back for so long, those people are afraid that they have sneaked away.
It's just that with what I know about this woman, I'm afraid that those crew members won't end well, and it is estimated that the spells on their bodies will have to attack halfway through the ship. Not one is left dead.
In the next few days, while recuperating on the island, he pondered this yin puppet technique. It's also thanks to the fact that I have been carefully taught the secrets of alchemy by the old camel before, and I have so many years of experience in dealing with the dead, so I can say that the foundation is quite deep. Otherwise, I want to learn this secret art in a short time. It's undoubtedly a fool's dream.
I went to the stone hall and rummaged for a while, but I didn't find the copper tripod I wanted, so I had to find two broken copper furnaces with missing feet instead. The copper furnace was transformed, the corners and corners of the furnace were knocked out, and forbidden patterns and charms were engraved on the outside.
Pry open the stone slab in the middle of the main hall, revealing the blood-red cinnabar soil below. Then he dug two large holes in the soil, and buried the two copper furnaces separately with the second cargo, revealing only a section three inches long in the ground.
Immediately let the second goods strip off the clothes of the two people and put them in the furnace. This is the first step in the alchemy of corpses, and it was originally best to choose a place where the yin qi is extremely strong, such as the Yin Gathering Pool or the Corpse Accumulation Place, but now that he is in the center of the Eighteen Dead Wheels, coupled with this cinnabar soil, it is not necessarily worse than the Yin Gathering Pool.
Some cinnabar was extracted from cinnabar clay, and according to the method taught by the old camel, a charm was drawn on the two of them. Concocted in the same way, the flesh and bones of the two were exercised first with alchemy. After that, according to the records in the funeral book, the two carved intricate forbidden patterns on the ground to form a yin pool.
After everything was ready, he sat down cross-legged between the two, put his palms on the top of the two people's heads, and the tricks in his heart flowed, and he acted according to the law.
After about ten days, I saw the two of them suddenly open their eyes and stand naked from the furnace. It's just that his eyes are hollow, and there is no sparkle in his eyes. The wounds on his body have also shrunk and coagulated, leaving only a few scars.
I circled around the two of them, knowing that this yin puppet technique had already been completed, and when I started the spell, I saw that the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then walked over and put their clothes back. According to the burial book, after the first formation of this yin puppet. They have no intelligence, and can only act on what little memory and instinct they have, just like those possessed grievances.
But unlike ordinary grievances, the Yin Golem will gradually turn on its spiritual wisdom after being in the world for a long time. Some can even recover their original memories, just like living people.
stared at Zhong Lingxiu for a while, and saw that her complexion had recovered a lot, except for her empty eyes and pale, her lips were pale, and at first glance it was not much different from usual. Reaching out and touching her forehead, the tentacles were a little cold, lower than the body temperature of ordinary people, but warmer than a dead corpse.
As soon as he thought about it, he asked, "The box you got in the Snake Mother Tomb." What's inside? ”
Zhong Lingxiu's eyes were dull, and her eyes were motionless for a long time, without movement. I don't give up, I invoke the trick. Reaching out to her forehead, he asked again.
Zhong Lingxiu's eyes slowly rolled a few times, and after a long time, a word popped out of his mouth: "Snake." ”
I was slightly startled and asked, "What snake?" ”
Zhong Lingxiu didn't speak for a long time. I calmed down and continued to urge the formula, only to hear her spit out a few more words: "Jade...; …; Statue...; …; ”
I was confused, only to hear her say blankly: "Snake...; …; Statue...; …; ”
I thought to myself, could it be a jade statue of a snake in it? Since the jade box was obtained in the tomb of the snake mother, it was a snake-shaped jade inside. Maybe it has something to do with the snake mother in the tomb.
It's just that I've only heard the legend of this snake mother tomb, and I don't know what the snake mother is.
Before a thought could be finished, I heard her say again: "Human face...; …; Snake...; …; Snake...; …; ”
I listened to what she said about "human-faced snake", and my heart chuckled, and I thought of Wangcai's little fratin for no reason, and I felt my scalp tingle. Busy asking a few more questions, but she couldn't say anything more.
After pondering for a while, I remembered that in the cave of Mount Tai that day, Wangcai's little fratin suddenly had bloodshot eyes. There is something wrong, I don't know if it has something to do with this woman. For a while, my heart was tight, and I thought about it for a while, but I couldn't think of a reason.
I thought of the little freak sinking into the sea, and I didn't know whether it was life or death at this time, and I didn't feel gloomy. Calmed down, cheered up, and glanced at the white-faced demon. The snow-white and strange makeup on this person's face has been erased, revealing his true face, a middle-aged man in his forties, with very light eyebrows, a high nose and thin lips, judging from his face alone, it can be regarded as decent, not the kind of person who thinks he is a big traitor at a glance.
At this time, the white ape and the two goods rushed in, although their legs were still a little lame, but they were fine, jumping happily, snorting at me a few times, and gesturing back and forth. I couldn't understand what he was doing, but I could guess it. took Zhong Lingxiu and the white-faced demon out of the stone hall. When I came to the beach, I saw that a large raft had been set up.
