Chapter 53: The Stand-in Doll
Sanzhi only said: "Did you use a Dao technique like soul separation, I feel that some of your Yuan Shen has left your true body." ”
Da Yuan nodded and said: "I have seen someone who can leave the body, that person's Yuan Shen can not only pass through at will unimpeded, but also control the mana Dao technique, I tried it, but I don't know why it can't." ”
Sanzhi had a little sneer on his face and said, "Although your Taoism is higher than mine, your visible knowledge is too poor. ”
As he spoke, Sanzhi briefly talked about several Dao techniques related to the Yuan Shen. According to the three branches, the first is the Yuan Shen out of the body, as soon as this Taoist technique is cast, the entire Yuan Shen will leave the real body with all the Taoism, leaving only a physical body in the same place, the ability of the Yuan Shen is no different from the real body, it is said that this Taoist technique is also a magical power. The second is to divide part of the mana of the primordial god, and then if this primordial god is attached to the puppet, it is a stand-in technique, and this stand-in can use Taoism, and the ability also has a part of the real body. The third is the spirit technique, which separates part of the original spirit and the Tao line from the real body, and does not attach to external objects, so that the original spirit can pass through at will without hindrance, but the spirit art can only use weak mana, not the Tao technique.
Da Yuan remembered the Xiaoyao Gongzi he had seen in the Songfeng Inn before, when he turned the Yuan Shen into a human face, at that time he thought it was the Yuan Shen out of the body, it turned out to be wrong, and now it seems that the Xiao Yao Gongzi just used the spirit technique.
Da Yu discussed a few more words with Sanzhi, and they all felt that it was really a wonderful way to use a stand-in to enter through the hole right now. Da Yuan decided to go to Nanling Lihuayu, not far from Cangliang Mountain, to buy a doll. It is said that there are several Daomen who are good at refining weapons and drawing talismans, and those Daomen have also opened a secret shop called Bajiajia, which is in the nameless town outside Lihuayu.
Da Yuan left Cangliang Mountain and arrived in that town in just one day. The town is small, sparsely populated, and has only one market. Da Yuan walked around the street a few times, and was carefully looking for the shop, when suddenly a thin and withered man approached Da Yuan and said in a low voice: "Brother Dao, Brother Dao, I have everything here, and it is guaranteed to be much better than the things of the Eight Families." ”
Da Yuan turned his head to look at the man, and saw that the man's demeanor was obscene, laughing with him, full of philistine appearance, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a cunning and cynical look. The purpose of Da Yuan this time is the eight families, not to mention that the puppets required by Da Yuan are by no means ordinary dolls, except for special Daomen, ordinary Taoists can't do it.
The thin man said enthusiastically: "I have a talisman pen here, it is definitely the best, and there is also a jade pendant for fixing the gods, do you know that the demon exterminator? I also have the kind of magic weapon that can bind the demons." ”
What the man said is the best magic weapon of the Taoist in the Jindan realm, especially the demon removal, which is a practical thing. It's just that Da Yuan has reached the realm of the primordial gods, so naturally he has no interest in these, and his own demon slaying technique has not been used for a long time. Seeing that this thin man was entangled, Da Yuan said, "I want a puppet made of soul-raising wood for the stand-in technique, do you have it?"
The thin man couldn't help but be stunned: "You need a puppet?"
The stand-in dolls are all things that can only be used by Taoists in the Yuanshen realm, and the Taoists who have reached the Yuanshen realm can also be regarded as a character who can stand alone in each Daomen, at least they are also Taoists with names and surnames, so the thin man looked at the young man in front of him more carefully, he didn't believe that this young man had reached the realm of Yuanshen out of the body. Da Yuan saw the other party's thoughts, so he said, "I naturally bought it for the elders, do you have it?"
The thin man showed a cunning look in his thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, there are many people here, Taoist friends, please come with me." ”
The thin man said, pulling his coat and walking away to a place where there was no one outside the town. Da Yu didn't expect that this unattractive guy really had a puppet, so he just wanted to see it, at least compared with the eight families.
After the thin man pulled the coat to an abandoned house outside the town, he took out a puppet from the skin pouch around his waist, and said mysteriously: "Look at it, this is a good thing, no worse than the things of the eight families, but the price is much lower than theirs, you can just give five hundred taels of gold." ”
When Da Yu heard this, he frowned, he thought that this thing would be very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. Da Yuan looked at the doll a few more times, only to feel that the doll was very rough, and it didn't feel spiritual at all. Da Yuan said: "Fellow Daoist, I have seen your things, but I don't want to buy them yet, I want to take a look at the eight families." ”
Unexpectedly, the thin man immediately said angrily: "Stop, you won't be entertaining me, I've seen it all, if you don't buy it, don't blame me for being polite." ”
It seems that the other party treats himself as a fat sheep, and he smiled and said, "Then what do you want?"
The thin man immediately took out a jet-black iron cylinder and said with a sneer: "In my hand is a poisonous needle, the poison of the East China Sea poisonous Jiao, do you want to taste it." ”
Da Yuan secretly laughed that this person was really a scoundrel, and was thinking about whether to kill it, but he heard someone say angrily: "Leper Piqi, you were caught by Dao Ye again today, and you dare to play a scoundrel in our place in Lihuayu, and force you to buy and sell." ”
The thin man's face immediately changed, and he snorted coldly: "The dog takes the mouse, which eye of you saw that I was the top seven in the skin." ”
I saw two Taoists walking over quickly, and when they came up, they punched and kicked the thin man, and the man who called himself Leper Seven had low mana and had no power to resist, and he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, but his eyes were full of coldness, and he had no intention of begging for mercy.
Da Yuan frowned and said: "Two Daoists, stop, although this person is shameless, it is not worth the two Daoists to be so rude." ”
The two of them snorted coldly, then stopped, and said to Da Yuan: "Daoyou is going to the Eight Families, just behind the inn on the street."
Da Yuan went back to the town and soon found the Eight Families. The entrance was just an ordinary inn, and when I entered it to explain my intentions, I was taken to a house in the back, where it was a shop open only to Taoists.
Entering the house, a young Taoist stepped forward to greet him, and Da Yuan said his intention directly, and the young Taoist was immediately a little surprised, and turned around and walked in. After a while, a middle-aged Taoist walked in, and a few dolls came out, so that Da Yuan could see it.
Da Yuan looked carefully, and saw that these puppets were extremely finely made, not only the shape was realistic, but the hands and feet could also be bent and moved, some of the puppets had a small sword on their backs, and some had a gourd on their waists. When I noticed it carefully, I felt that each puppet exuded a different aura, and it was really very different from what the person named Leper Seven took out.
At this time, the middle-aged Taoist showed a kind look and said with a smile: "Daoist friends are buying this for the elders of your sect, our eight Taoist sects in Lihuayu are also famous, and they will never deceive guests." If you report the name of your parents, you may be old friends with my master and uncle, so the eight of us are absolutely undeceived, and you can rest assured. ”
Then the middle-aged Taoist pointed to a puppet and said: "Daoyou, look at this, if Daoyou Daoist is higher, you can find the golden spiritual power emanating from it, the small sword behind the puppet is not an ornament, it is also a crystal iron sword, when using a stand-in, you can use the sword to hurt the enemy and protect yourself, and each puppet is also equipped with a small shield, which is placed in the skin bag on the waist of the puppet, and there are Taoist talismans specially made for the puppet can be purchased separately." ”
Saying that, the middle-aged Taoist laughed twice, with a reserved and proud look, and said: "These puppets are different, and they can be used according to the cultivation method. ”
Da Yuan couldn't help but nodded, these puppets did put a lot of thought into it. Da Yuan pointed to the sword-wearing puppet and asked for the price, and the middle-aged man said quietly: "Eight hundred taels of gold is not the same price, and the equivalent crystal iron can also be used." ”
Da Yu couldn't help frowning, he had always subdued demons, how could there be so much gold on his body, and he secretly knew that he should bring a few pieces of crystal iron in this way. If you think about it, you just need to buy a puppet to mine crystalline iron ore, although these dolls are good, they are not practical and ridiculously expensive. Da Yuan asked, "Is there anything else?"
Da Yuan wanted to ask if there were any other cheaper dolls, but the middle-aged Taoist would be wrong, so he only said: "Of course there is, the elders of the Taoist friends must have reached the realm of the Yuan Shen out of the body, and we still have the secret method of the out-of-body technique here." ”
Da Yuan was immediately moved when he heard it, he had already heard of the secret method spirit note, which was a necessary thing for practicing and comprehending some supernatural powers, and the original spiritual out-of-body was also a small supernatural power. When asked the price, each secret magic note also needed two hundred taels of gold. Da Yuan thought, anyway, his gold is not enough to buy a doll, so it is better to buy this first. Da Yuan took out six hundred taels of gold, bought three secret magic notes, and thought of going back to get a few pieces of crystal iron and come back to buy the puppet, so he said: "I want to buy the puppet with the sword, but I have to go back and report it to the elders, and I will come back immediately." ”
The middle-aged Taoist sighed, personally sent Da Yuan out of the house, and suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, I have to remind you." If you come across someone in town who is selling something to you, don't pay attention to it, that person is a liar, and he makes a bad puppet, so don't be fooled. ”
Da Yuan nodded in response, and the middle-aged Taoist seemed to be relieved.
After leaving the shop, he left the market and returned the same way. Unexpectedly, when he walked outside the town, the thin man named Leper Seven followed him again. At this time, Da Yuan knew that this person was fine, so he ignored it. Leper Pi Qi followed Da Qi out of the town, and walked straight to no one's place, Leper Pi Qi said in a low voice: "Brother Dao, Dao Chief, Xiao Dao knows that he is wrong, Xiao Dao really has a usable puppet in his hand, and he will definitely not dare to bully each other this time." ”
Da Yuan sneered and ignored it again, Leper Pi Qi followed for a while, repeatedly entangled, and Da Yuan said: "To tell you the truth, the gold on my body has been used up, and I am about to go back to get it, even if your puppet really works, where do I have the gold to buy your things." ”
Leper Pi Qi sighed even more, stopped, and listened to Leper Pi Qi's sigh with a very sad meaning, and suddenly thought to himself, although this person is a scoundrel, maybe he may encounter extremely difficult things, the sky is endless, and he can't take people too seriously. Da Yuan turned his head and noticed the leper skin, then suddenly stood down and said, "I'll believe you again, you can take out the real puppet and show it to me." ”
Leper Seven immediately looked happy, ran over, and took out another doll from the skin bag for Da Yuan to see. When I looked at it, I saw that this puppet was still rough, and there was no aura emanating from the puppet, but the style was quite simple, and there were still some differences from the previous one. At this time, Leper Pi Qi took out another one and said, "I also have a well-refined high-grade doll here, which can be invisible. ”
Da Yuan took a look and couldn't help frowning, this puppet is also rough, and it is the same as the previous one, but the style is quite simple, and there is no aura divergence. Leper Pi Qi said at this time: "Fellow Daoist, that ordinary me only needs you two hundred taels of gold, and this puppet can only be invisible for four hundred taels, how about it, my goods are absolutely practical and cheap." ”
Da Yuan frowned and said, "Why are your dolls so cheap, I heard that the soul nourishing wood used to make dolls is more than so cheap." ”
Leper Pi Qi said a little mysteriously: "That's because I didn't use the Soul Nourishing Wood, I used another substitute." If you don't believe it, wait for your elders to use it, and if you can't use it, you can come back to me. ”
Seeing that the other party was staring at him and looking forward to it very much, Da Yuan thought about it and suddenly laughed. He took off the demon slayer on his wrist and said, "I want to go back and get the gold, this demon slayer is worth five or six hundred taels, put it in your hand temporarily, whether the puppet is available or not, I will come back to you." ”
Leper Seven took the Demon Killer, looked at it, and said, "That's okay." ”
Da Yu took the puppet that was said to be invisible, and strode away.
