Chapter 12: Assembling the Golem
"Let's tell you about the old man first," the old man's face straightened.
"The old man was also like you back then, he was a wandering casual cultivator with no place to live, and he also had a very high talent in puppet making, but the old man was helpless and had no teacher to teach back then, and he wasted his time for decades, and then the old man got a little chance, and advanced to the foundation building realm and entered the spirit puppet sect as an inner disciple, and his life was a lot more stable when he entered the spirit puppet sect.
It's a pity that the old man is very old, and in the more than 200 years of life, he has cultivated to the middle stage of this foundation building, and he can no longer take a step forward. The old man sighed.
"The reason why I tell you so much is because I see that you are very similar to the situation I was in when I was young, and I don't want you to follow in my footsteps, and in the end you will be depressed and turn into a handful of loess.
I have studied the puppet method all my life, and if they all turn into a handful of loess with me, it will be a great pity, seeing that you are very talented in making puppets, so I want to pass on the puppet method I studied to you." The old man paused and said.
"And you are not a disciple of my Spirit Puppet Sect, I can't pass on the Spirit Puppet Sect's exercises and some ancient spirit patterns to you, I can only pass on some of your non-Spirit Puppet Sect's spirit puppet making methods and the techniques I have studied, are you willing to receive this knowledge from me?"
Wang Li was stunned, his brain couldn't react, and he asked casually, "Then why don't you find a disciple in the Spirit Puppet Sect to pass on your puppet method?"
"Hmph, I can't look down on any of the juniors of the Spirit Puppet Sect in terms of puppet control, including my juniors, but unfortunately you are not a disciple of my Spirit Puppet Sect that was cultivated in the sect when I was young, otherwise I can pass on all what I have learned all my life to you, and accept you as a closed disciple." The old man was a little indignant.
After listening, Wang Liliang held his palms on the ground, bowed to the old man and said: "I am sincerely loved by the teacher, and the students are willing to be taught by you." Wang Li knew that his opportunity had come, and if he missed this time, he might never have a chance again.
"Hehehe, okay, get up, you are not a disciple of the Spirit Puppet Sect, and I can't accept you as an apprentice, but it is reasonable to receive your teacher.
Come, these two jade slips, one records the knowledge of the puppet I have studied, but it does not record any ancient spirit patterns, if you want to learn the ancient spirit patterns, there are many ways to learn, it depends on your chance.
The other jade slip is what I got in my early years, it's not the practice of the Spirit Puppet Sect, I can pass it on to you, the jade slip records a kind of cultivation of divine consciousness, and the monk with high divine sense has miraculous effects when controlling the puppet, you have to practice this exercise well. The old man took out two jade slips and handed them to Wang Li.
"If you still want to learn the advanced puppet method, when you have the opportunity to cultivate to the foundation building realm, you can join the Spirit Puppet Sect as an inner disciple and you can learn it." The old man then said again.
"Teacher, is it still possible for me to join the Spirit Puppet Sect now?" Wang Li asked after a moment's thought. There are many benefits of joining the sect, and Wang Li still yearns for it.
"It's impossible for you now, you didn't come to the sect at a young age to cultivate, no sect will want you to cultivate halfway, if you want to join the sect, you have to wait until you cultivate to the foundation building realm.
Even if you build a foundation realm and join the sect, your status in it will not be as good as the monks they have cultivated since childhood, and the old man is evil because of this, so he came here to be an inner hall deacon." The old man said hatefully.
"You don't just want to make that spirit golem parts in the future, I'll give you five sets of spirit golem materials, you can try to assemble it, the core torso of the spirit golem won't be passed on, so these core parts are made by the monks of our spirit golem pavilion.
After you finish making the limbs, assemble these parts, and then complete the two steps of the final soul possession and the spirit, if you don't understand anything, you can take a look at the two jade slips I gave you, which have detailed annotations.
The reward for assembling a spirit puppet monkey is thirty spirit stones, go ahead, after assembling the spirit puppet monkey, just give it directly to Xiao Si, and if you want to assemble the spirit puppet in the future, you can also find him, I will tell him. The old man threw Wang Li an intermediate mustard seed bag, and then stopped and let Wang Li out.
Wang Li took the mustard seed bag and said to the old man: "The student has thanked the teacher, and he dares to ask the teacher's name, but the student still doesn't know."
"That's it, that's it, the old man's surname is Li Mingmu, go ahead, I'm a little tired, go down."
"Yes, take care, teacher". Wang Li bowed his hand and walked out of the main hall.
※※※
In the wooden room, Wang Li picked up the puppet jade slip recorded by the old man Li Mu, and used his divine sense to carefully comprehend the puppet knowledge inside.
After a while, Wang Li put down the jade slip and sighed in his heart: "This Li Mu teacher's method of recording and compiling a spirit puppet is really profound."
This jade slip records the various puppet skills and more than a dozen spirit puppet production methods that Li Mu has studied for two hundred years, but none of the ancient spirit patterns required for engraving have been recorded, which may be that the spirit puppet sect strictly forbids the transmission of ancient spirit patterns, and Li Mu doesn't want to be implicated, so none of them are recorded.
Then Wang Li took out the mustard seed bag containing five sets of spirit puppet monkey materials, and swept it inside, in addition to the spirit puppet monkey materials, there were also five dark red porcelain bottles, which were marked with five small characters of the spirit demon monkey demon soul, which should be the demon soul used to help the spirit puppet monkey soul attract the step.
Two days later, Wang Li finished making all the limbs of the five sets of spirit puppet monkeys, and spent another two days assembling the five sets of rear parts of the spirit puppet monkeys according to the card slots that had been carved at the parts connections.
After that, you can help the Spirit Golem Monkey Golem carry out the step of soul draining.
Soul attraction is to lure out the demon soul that has been sealed in the soul sealing bottle, and attach the demon soul to the assembled puppet, so that the puppet can perform various actions according to the remaining instinct of the demon soul, and the demon soul used to attract the soul must also be of the same type as the puppet.
For example, the spirit puppet monkey puppet must be attached to the monkey demon soul, and the demon soul in the soul sealing bottle is generally when the monk hunts the demon beast, when the demon soul in the half-burnt incense of the demon beast has not dissipated, the demon soul is extracted from the corpse of the demon beast and sealed into the soul sealing bottle using the secret method of divine consciousness.
Wang Li stood on the ground with an assembled spirit puppet monkey, then picked up a bottle of soul sealing bottle and put it on the ground, opened the mouth of the bottle, and according to the secret method of attracting souls in the jade jian, the spirit finger was a little, and a faint monkey-shaped black mist flew out of the soul sealing bottle in a moment, Wang Li knotted the spirit seal a little bit, and the monkey-shaped black mist flew to the spirit puppet monkey standing on the ground, and slowly attached to the limbs of the spirit puppet monkey.
After a few breaths, Wang Li changed the spirit seal again, and clicked it on the spirit puppet monkey a few times, and the black light flashed all over the spirit monkey's body, and this monkey-shaped demon soul had been sealed into this spirit puppet forever.
After that, it's time to point the spirit, which is that the monk uses his own spirit element to activate the ancient spirit patterns on the spirit puppet one by one, so that the puppet drives the spirit pattern through the spirit stone it is equipped with, and makes various actions.
Wang Li turned his left palm into five claws, buckled them on the head of the spirit puppet monkey, pressed the spirit secret method with his left hand, and the spirit seal knotted, and the spirit yuan on his body slowly passed through his right hand and entered the spirit monkey to point each ancient spirit pattern.
After half burning incense, the spirit puppet monkey suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the spirit was successful! Wang Li put away the spirit yuan and looked at this spirit puppet who was the first spirit puppet in his life.
This spirit puppet monkey is about half a person tall, and its whole body exudes a slight spiritual light, and the eyes made of jade on the eyes look a little smart at this time.
This spirit puppet monkey is completely successful, as long as the monk drops a drop of his own essence blood on the soul control spirit pattern on its head, infiltrates it with his divine sense, and then puts ten spirit stones in the ten spirit stone card slots behind the torso, he can use his divine sense to control it to do all kinds of things.
In the following three days, Wang Li lured the souls of the remaining spirit puppet monkeys one by one, and the spirit was successful.
