Chapter Ninety-Six: Western Regions Thaumaturgy
Ge Tianyou had already guessed that the person who murdered Battle on the mural was the old man Li in front of him, but he never thought that the strangeness involved so much. Zhang Shicheng's uprising even caused a sensation in the whole world, and there are still people in the rivers and lakes talking about it to this day. Especially in the land of Qilu, the talk is more extensive. It's a pity, it's a pity that his generation of heroes can't fight against Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in cloth.
Gongsun Li said this, his expression slightly hateful. He glanced at Ge Tianyou and continued, "Boy, don't you want to ask about what happened later?"
Of course, Ge Tianyou wanted him to continue, so as to free up time for him to recover from the wounds he had wounded, and said, "Later, hehe, I think you must have been deceived by that Wu strategist later, and then you came here in desperation. ”
"Hehe!" Gongsun Li didn't know whether to appreciate or sneer, and then said, "Your kid is really smart." That's right, you're not wrong at all, I let that guy play with me, and as a result, I wandered around like a chicken in soup along the way. ”
In 1359 AD, when Gongsun Li was desperate, he relied on his own ability to join Chen Youliang's uprising team and lived a life of exile every day.
He was unwilling, unwilling to let his life be ruined by a man named Wu Moushi. As a result, another of his enemies appeared, that is, the powerful man who was famous at that time, Zhang Shicheng.
Why Zhang Shicheng is said to be heroic, just because there was a saying in the world at that time, that is, "Chen Youliang has Chen Youliang on connections, and Zhang Shicheng has Zhang Shicheng on money." "The two parties are strong, one side has people, and the other party has money, so the world will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
At that time, Gongsun Li knew that money was not important to him, what he wanted was to regain his dignity and humiliation, he was unwilling to live like this in this life, even if he could not recover, he had to take endless revenge for his dignity.
Maybe it was his persistence that moved the heavens, or maybe it was a fateful chance. On the way up the mountain to collect wild vegetables, Gongsun Li unexpectedly picked up a worn-out book, he opened it and saw that there were seven big characters written on it, "Western Regions Mantuo Puppet Technique".
Gongsun Li was very puzzled at that time, what kind of person could lose this book here, and the name on this book was too difficult to understand.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, Gongsun Li did not hesitate, and hurriedly hid the books he picked up in his arms. He thought that regardless of whether this book was useful to him or not, but the world did not know much about the Western Regions, if he could know more about the culture of the Western Regions in this book, then he could be regarded as a knowledgeable person in the army.
Back in the camp, Gongsun Li did not go to read the Western Regions book for the first time, but went to cook and serve the sergeants as always. Time has passed, he is no longer the centurion in the Yuan military camp, no matter how good his cooking skills are, he is just a cook, and he can be regarded as a waste person in Chen Youliang's team. So his status can be compared to those soldiers, except that he doesn't have to go to the battlefield to fight.
He was busy until the evening, the only time he had to rest, but he wasn't sure when he would be summoned to serve the adults in singing and dancing, and every day was worse than death. And it is in this way that his little speech and scheming tumor have been tempered.
There was nothing to do all night, and Gongsun Li opened the book he picked up to read. But what he didn't expect was that the first seven pages of the book were not written, but blank sheets of paper. It wasn't until the eighth page that a page of incomprehensible earthworm-like font appeared.
"What is this?" Gongsun Li asked himself dumbfounded. When I looked through it, it was a line of broken down tool graphics.
Gongsun Li was overjoyed when he saw it. With the picture, then it would be better for him, thinking that he was a descendant of the Gongsun family, and his understanding of the art of the mechanism was naturally extraordinary to ordinary people.
But when he thought of his family, he hated it even more in his heart, hating the damned family clan, hating those clansmen who regarded him as a waste.
While gritting his teeth, Gongsun Li flipped through the book again, only to see that it was actually in Chinese, his eyes lit up, so he read it.
The book reads: "The art of the mandal puppet is a demon Taoist book, practiced to the point where the small can control the hearts of the people, the middle level can control the rotting corpse, and the practice is to the big enough to control the living." This religion believes in the company of puppets, so that the living will not suffer, and the world is equal, and people and animals are the same. ”
"Controllable living people?" At that time, Gongsun Li did not understand what this book was about. It wasn't until later that he made a few of the props according to the patterns in the book that he understood. It turns out that the so-called 'control' is control. And this control also requires a large amount of mandala flower liquid to be fused with one's own essence and blood.
So for a long time to come, Gongsun Li fell silent in this book, being a slave during the day and crazy at night. He knew that now all his hopes for revenge were in this "Western Regions Mantuo Puppetry". I think that one day I will be able to achieve great success in practice, and then I will be able to get everything in the world.
In 1363 AD, the forty-six-year-old Gongsun Li had already practiced the first volume of the Western Regions Book to the extreme, and he could even simply control the temporary loss of heart of some people around him, and he could easily grasp the hearts of some people, including the military situation known to Chen Youliang's henchmen. At this time, Gongsun Li was also in urgent need of money, because the various production materials mentioned in the book were very precious, and some of them could even be described as priceless. So he used the first volume of "Mind Control Technique" he had practiced to control the people around Chen Youliang, so as to obtain all kinds of military information, and then go to other princes in exchange for money or materials. For three years, he was almost as rich as an enemy, but no one knew who he was, let alone remembered what he looked like.
In the same year, Chen Youliang led 600,000 sailors to attack Zhu Yuanzhang, but was defeated at Poyang Lake, and Chen Youliang also died of an arrow at the age of 44 when he broke through.
After Chen Youliang's death, Gongsun Li escaped from the chaos and fled, he had long thought about leaving, but his ability was limited.
After escaping, Gongsun Li had money, and he could have found a peaceful place, bought a house and land, married a wife and had children, but he didn't do that. He only has revenge in his heart, because he puts himself in the rivers and lakes, looking for a way to deal with the family and Zhang Shicheng.
For the next few years, he spent the next few years studying the "Western Regions Mantuo Puppet Technique" that he picked up in the wilderness. And this second layer is much more difficult to practice than the first layer.
In this second layer, it is written that to control all things and the Holy Spirit is to control its consciousness, its blood, and its bones, which are used for one's own use. Its control needs the assistance of external objects, and it can be practiced with dead things first, solidify its corpse, and create what it can't before life, King Kong is not bad, and the power is infinite.
But this condition is extremely harsh, first of all, practice the ontological structure, and feel whether the eight veins of the meridian are intact. If the meridians of the deceased are broken, then it is useless and can be abandoned.
In addition, if you want to control it for your own use, you must first refine the four magic weapons.
First, the god needle. The biggest effect of this needle is to activate the meridians of the dead or the living, and fuse them with the mandala flower liquid.
Second, mandal flowers. This flower grows in the extremely harsh tropical jungle, it is very rare, it has its own life characteristics, and when it encounters danger, it will release toxins to paralyze and harm itself. The toxin is not fatal, but once infected, it will immediately coma and numbness. If the liquid toxin invades the skin and blends with the blood, then I am afraid that I will have to lie in bed for the rest of my life. However, although this flower is rare, it is not difficult to buy in herb shops. Merchants from the Western Regions who paid tribute to the Central Plains often brought some of these flowers from time to time as items for sale.
Third, heart-warming bells. This bell has only one tone, and it has no harmful effect on people, and it seems to be no different from ordinary bells, but the sound of this bell can excite the mandala, and it can also be instructed to the mandala to exercise its will to do it, which is very weird.
Fourth, forgive the empty box. The biggest feature of this box is that it can be changed to be large and small, it does not absorb air, it can preserve food and venom, it is waterproof and fireproof, and it is varied, it is made by the masters of the Western Regions, but Gongsun Li does not care about it, and even has some contempt, thinking that it is still very easy for the family to make this kind of box. This box is mainly used for sealing, sealing the god needle, mandala flower liquid, and heart-boosting bells, so the practicality is not great.
In the years that followed, Gongsun Li did not go to the barracks to survive, but hid in a rarely visited place to begin his revenge career, which was five years long......!
