Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

Chi Xinzi is very familiar with all the forces in the East China Sea. Because of his past pirate career, he is very familiar with the distribution of the various forces in the East China Sea and also knows the details of these related forces.

"The overseas environment is even more complicated than that inside Dayou. There are many forces inside and outside the sea. There are several sea countries in the offshore. The more famous ones are the Kamikaze Kingdom, Yanlong Kingdom, and Fuyu Kingdom. These offshore countries are The Sea Kingdom has a developed port and trade with the Great You Dynasty. It is extremely prosperous. As for the alien races outside the far sea, which are called the Seven Overseas Races by the world, in addition to these, there are also the 'Three Major Chambers of Commerce and the Four Islands' Strange Heroes'. Waiting for a powerful force."

Chi Xinzi described some overseas scenery in detail.

"Although the scenery overseas is different from that of China, it is actually not a real paradise. The sea is indeed vast, but the forces of all parties are intertwined, intrigues, and disputes... Hehe, I have to say, at least in this regard, overseas is really not like The Great You Dynasty is in good order.”

"The imperial court of Dayou has been secretly suppressing the local cultivating community. In the outer seas, weak individual cultivating sects and cultivating families can act without restraint, but once they encounter powerful enemies or accidentally provoke People in any force will cause disaster to the whole family in an instant."

"After all, the cultivation world outside the sea does not have many restraints and worries. They act unscrupulously and follow the law of the weak and the strong. Moreover, there are many overseas monks. Unfortunately, many of them are outsiders. It is normal to collect raw blood for sacrifice. It is normal to use living people to practice It’s not surprising that there are also some big forces who, in order to mine, dig caves, explore unknown sea areas, and capture strange beasts, will specifically capture monks everywhere to serve as their own slaves.”

According to him, all the overseas cultivation circles like to keep slaves. They will organize large-scale slave-catching groups. On the one hand, they are capturing mortals to fill the population. On the other hand, they will also specifically hunt monks.

Overseas, manpower is an extremely important resource, and human trafficking is very active, especially monks, who are the most expensive category of all slaves.

"Slaves are mainly slaves who are mainly casual cultivators. Overseas, the more powerful the monks are, the more slaves they have. This is considered a trend overseas. In addition to captured prisoners, these slaves , and there are many people who voluntarily take shelter with the great monk and are willing to be slaves."

Seeing He Ping's expression, Chi Xinzi seemed disapproving and quickly warned him.

"Junior brother, most of these cultivators are cultivators who have not entered the dharma and are unable to enter the Tao. But don't underestimate these cultivators. Do you still remember the Red Snake Lord? He couldn't defeat you at that time, so he planned to fight with you. Desperately, he forcibly entered the Tao, detonating the abnormality in his body; overseas, the same is true for those slaves who were imprisoned by the great monks. They were controlled by others, and often the deformation power in their bodies would be detonated at the command of their masters, and they would choose to die together. A mere cultivator is nothing, but if dozens or hundreds of cultivators do this at the same time, even a Taoist master will be disgraced!"

He Ping also frowned when he heard this. Indeed, this is a typical "Allahu Akbar" tactic. One or two slaves are insignificant, but if they are piled together, they can cause a qualitative change. Hundreds of people will "self-destruct" together and turn into aberrations. You can have as much power as you want. The means are also difficult to resist.

Next, Chi Xinzi talked about some overseas affairs. He Ping listened carefully and recorded all the information.

…

He Ping was ready to set off the next day. He first took a paper sedan and came to Dongli Road in a secret way.

He didn't waste time on the Dongli Road and almost went straight to the largest port city in Dongli.

…

The vicious sun hangs high in the sky, bright and dazzling. The light blue water rolled up a white line and hit the black reef. The splashes flew high and merged into the surrounding waves again.

He Ping was standing in a harbor full of fishy smell. The gray-yellow stone beach on the shore of this harbor had been transformed into a simple pier. Thick wooden piles were nailed into the shallow water, and a long line was built on the side. wooden bridge.

He looked at the waves outside the port. Seagulls were flying over the sky. Fishing boats, sea ships, and merchant ships of all sizes appeared in front of the port pier. There were hundreds of ships moored here every day.

This port is where the nearby fishermen and merchants from all over the world gather. The market at the port is crowded with goods and there are many people coming and going, making the busy streets very lively.

If you look carefully, you will find that among these crowds, most of them are locals wearing Dayou clothes, and there are also a few red-haired Daxiye people. They are all gathered in front of the stalls, pointing, or negotiating with the stall owners. .

Rich merchants are accompanied by dark-skinned Kunlun slaves. Sea travelers from Kamikaze, Yanlong, and Fuyu are also common, as well as merchants from Nidusuo Kingdom who go south along the coastline of the North Sea. They will also look for business opportunities here. .

The seagull swooped down to the sea and then rose up, holding a fish with shining silver scales in its mouth. After taking a look at the seagull, He Ping smiled slightly, turned around, and held down the hilt of the long sword at his waist. The whisk in his hand was also placed on his shoulder.

He is now wearing a Taoist robe with an iron hairpin on his head. He is obviously dressed like a Taoist priest. He has a rough face, a long beard and a halberd, and he looks more like a warrior than a Taoist priest.

The Great You Dynasty has experienced three exterminations of Taoism and four times of extermination of Buddhism. Taoist temples have withered, and Buddhist temples are even more deserted. However, compared to exterminating Buddhism, You Dynasty still left some incense money for Taoist sects and did not take any harsh measures. In addition to the three Xiantian, in the world of cultivation, Daoxuan, Daoyin, and Daoqi are still in Dayou territory, but they have not been born.

In addition, there is another lineage of Taoism called Sushin Tao. The inheritance of Taoist priests of this sect is quite special. Its source comes from the "Nagamon Sutra". This sutra is not a righteous way to enter the Tao. It only preaches purity and inaction, and accumulation of virtue and good deeds. He can become an immortal, and he has absorbed a lot of Confucian ethics and Buddhist theories of cause and effect.

The Taoist priests of Su Xindao rarely practiced Taoism, but practiced martial arts more. Before the founding of the Dayou Dynasty, wars were frequent in the world. Among the many soldiers under the first Emperor You, there were several Su Xindao. The team led by the Taoist leader made great achievements in the Great You Dynasty.

This also made all the emperors of the Great You Dynasty be particularly kind to Su Xindao. Many Taoist temples in Yujing City were extremely overshadowed, but Su Xindao's Taoist temple was getting bigger and bigger, and there were many pilgrims on weekdays. Su Xindao also has many temples in various places, all of which were built with money from the royal family. Funds are allocated every year, which is considered a special case.

For this reason, 90% of the wandering Taoist priests in the world are from Suxin Taoism, because if you are not a Taoist priest of Suxinguan and have not been issued a certificate, then nine times out of ten you are a demon who privately shaves your hair and is punished. If a government official catches him, he can be beaten to death on the spot.

The Taoist Chiling, the master of Feiyu Sect, whom He Ping befriended in Sui'an City, was a Taoist from Suxin Taoist background.

At the moment, He Ping is also pretending to be a disciple of Su Xindao. Some of the Taoist priests in Su Xintuan do not practice Taoism, but only practice martial arts and often travel around the world. Some of those who are highly skilled in martial arts are quite famous in chivalry.

He Ping is playing such a role now. He wants to take a boat into the sea and needs a disguised identity.

For him, this identity should not be too conspicuous, but it should also not be too inconspicuous, otherwise it would be easy for him to be targeted by people with ulterior motives and cause unnecessary trouble.

Dressed as a Taoist priest of Su Xindao, with a sword on his waist, he looks like a martial artist who practices swordsmanship, is proficient in martial arts, and often walks on the rivers and lakes. At least a young person like Xianxiao would not go out of his way to provoke such a person.

"There are a large number of people who go overseas to make a living and make money, and there are also Jianghu people in Dongli Dao. Especially Jianghu people are rich and have swords, and they mostly do business with their heads. As a Taoist priest of Su Xin Guan, I It’s just right, conspicuous but not eye-catching, at least it won’t add extra trouble or cause any extra trouble!”

He swaggered onto the wooden bridge and took the initiative to board a large ship. The ship was huge and covered in vermilion. There were small black and red lofts on the bow and stern of the ship. There were many sailors and coolies on the dock carrying goods on and off the ship.

He Ping looked at it carefully and found that the shape of this large ship was close to the fortune ship of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The top of the ship was as flat as a balance and the underside was like a blade, making it extremely resistant to wind and waves. When he got on the deck, the crew members of the merchant ship took the initiative to greet him.

"Is this Taoist Master Mo Wen Mo the Taoist Master?"

"Exactly, I have reserved a seat on your ship. With so much cargo from you, can I still have a place to stay?"

He Ping took a look at the large ship and knew that it was a typical ship used by both merchants and passengers. In addition to transporting cargo, it also took guests out to sea.

"Master Dao, please rest assured."

The crew on that ship was very clever.

"You made the reservation in a few days. How dare we neglect our distinguished guest? Your accommodation has been arranged properly. We have taken the money and we can't do anything. You reserved the guest room on the stern. It was all cleaned yesterday. Let's forget it. Even if I throw away the cargo on the ship, I don’t dare to occupy your seat, Master Dao.”

"That's good!"

He Ping casually rewarded him with some silver. The crew member couldn't help but feel happy. Knowing that he met a generous guest, he became even more attentive and led him to a guest room on the third floor of the poop.

This merchant ship was a ship he ordered a few days ago. After investigation, it was found that the background and foundation were very clean. It belonged to a small offshore chamber of commerce called "Baochanghong", which was also a well-known name in the industry.

This small chamber of commerce called "Baochanghong" is organized by a few wealthy overseas travelers. Of course, it is not as good as the three major chambers of commerce across the sea, but it is still quite powerful, and it also enjoys official status. open.

"Next, let's take a boat to Flying Ray Island. Chi Xinzi has a treasure cache on Flying Ray Island. This treasure cache is extraordinary. There is a main material in it that can be used to refine the three-corpse secret demon puppet. After taking it out, But it can be used to refine the Green Corpse, one of the Three Corpse Mystical Demons."

The Three Corpse Mysterious Demon Puppet is an extremely powerful puppet in the Immortal Puppet Sect. During the sacrifice, it is necessary to collect the causes of evil in the world and refine it into three puppets: green corpse, white corpse, and red corpse. It was extremely cumbersome and complicated, and just the required materials were very time-consuming. Chi Xinzi collected a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures overseas. After spending many years, he only found the main materials for refining the green corpse.

"If you refine the Three Corpse Puppet, even a Dao-level master will not be your opponent. However, those in the Immortal Puppet Sect who can refine the Three Corpse Puppet must have broken through to the Dao. Among the three corpses, the Green Corpse is the easiest to sacrifice, and the White Corpse is successful. The rate is extremely low. If you don't have Taoist cultivation, you can't easily refine the red corpse. However, even if you only get one green corpse of the Three Corpse Secret Demon Puppet, it is extraordinary. It can be said to be mysterious and unpredictable when used against the enemy, and it has many wonderful uses! "

If He Ping had refined the Three Corpse Mysterious Demon Puppet by himself, he would not have known it would take until the year of the monkey just to collect the materials. Fortunately, with the collection of Chi Xinzi, he saved most of the hard work. When he thought of this, he had a rare feeling for his senior brother. of gratitude.

When He Ping thought this, he was sitting in the stern room, sitting cross-legged on the bed. At this time, the ship had not yet sailed. He closed the door, closed his eyes and crossed his legs, using both his soul and his mind, while he was distracted and thinking. Work hard, cut off distracting thoughts, and enter into stillness to reflect.

At this moment, he heard a quarrel coming from another room on the stern.
