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

There was a panic in the old boatman's heart. He looked up and saw the figure wearing a black cloak. It felt like a shadow in the darkness - the figure hanging on the water, and the shadow projected onto the water was also a deep shadow. dark green.

Crash, clatter, as the water on the lake rises, it keeps deforming, twisting, and shaking violently. All of this gives people an unpredictable and inhuman feeling.

The black hood covered his hair and even hid most of his face. His face was also blurry, except for his eyes, which were shining brightly, with two green flames flashing in his pupils.

"What you practice is "Hundred Charms". This evil technique requires gathering one hundred and eight living people, taking away their facial features and faces, and then absorbing their essence to refine one hundred and eight charms. You can instantly Practicing the Hundred Charm Dharma..."

He Ping was now dressed like a medieval necromancer, with an unfathomable sense of weirdness all over his body.

He specially sent people to investigate and discovered that there were some problems in the Jiangxin Continent. It turned out that in the past twenty years, tourists and boats had often disappeared around Pingyang Lake with Jiangxin Continent as the center.

He thought about it and felt that there was something fishy about this matter. He suspected that if there was something wrong with Jiang Xinzhou, it was because the person who painted the immortal way was still on Jiang Xinzhou.

After acquiring the "Banana Deer Dream Brush" and the Painting Gu Spirit Insect, he did not rush to Jiangxin Continent to investigate. On the one hand, the inheritance of Painting Immortal Dao is not a way to enter the Tao, so there is no need to rush to get it; on the other hand, he also doubted this. Could it be a trap set by Hua Xian Dao, specifically to lure those fools who are greedy for Taoism to land on the island and die.

"To be on the safe side, let's get a few substitutes to try it out first. It's best to be more deliberate and board the ship with great fanfare..."

He borrowed two prisoners from the county government and injected them with two demon seeds. He used the method of reversing delusions to confuse the memories of the two prisoners, making one of the two prisoners think that he was He Ping and the other that he was It's Liu Yu.

Then, he instilled relevant memories into "He Ping" and "Liu Yu", and then sent the two people near Pingyang Lake and asked them to find a boat to the island.

"He Ping" and "Liu Yu" dressed up as traveling scholars and searched for boatmen along the coast who were willing to take them to Jiangxin Island. They also announced that they were going to the island to visit Wu Qingsheng's former residence.

If such a high-profile behavior was known to someone who painted the immortal way, someone would definitely take action.

As expected, "He Ping" and "Liu Yu" found many fishermen and boatmen and found that they were unwilling to go to Jiangxinzhou because there were many strange rumors about the island and people had disappeared on the island.

The nearby fishermen and boatmen all knew the strangeness and were unwilling to take them to the island despite the promise of large sums of money.

Until one day later, an old boatman came to see him and said that as long as the price was right for them, he would take the risk and send them to the island...

"Originally, with your ability, there was no need to guard this Jiangxin Continent. The world is so big, and with your magic and evil methods, you can come and go on your own. Why do you need to guard this island if you want to practice magic? Now it seems that this place Sure enough, there is a problem... Huh, the inheritance of the Immortal Painting is indeed on this island!"

As soon as he said these words, the old boatman immediately knew that something was wrong. He suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped the board of the boat. The hull of the boat shook, and a smoke skeleton composed of dozens of black smoke floated out, chirping and crying towards He Ping. Pounce.

At the same time, the old boatman made a seal, and the small boat with a black awning collapsed like paper origami, turning into an ink scroll on the water. He wrapped his body and took it in. Fly through the air.

"A small plan!"

He Ping was too lazy to talk nonsense. He first slapped away the smoke skeleton with his palm. The hem of the cloak suddenly expanded and suddenly rose into the sky. When the sky turned into a dark cloud and fell down, the scroll flew halfway and was turned into a dark cloud by the cloak. Wrapped up, it was sucked in by the shadow attached to it.

"return."

He stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the dark cloud rolled back and changed back to its original shape.

"Is it hidden in the painting?"

He Ping shook the scroll, and the old boatman's body rolled out of it and was sealed in the void by a spiritual power. The old boatman also knew that he had encountered a powerful master and quickly begged for mercy.

"Senior, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me!"

"It's okay for you to be spared, but..."

Just as He Ping was about to speak, the green flames in his eyes jumped a few times, and the expression on his face changed, and he suddenly sneered.

"It's a good trick, but if you just want to deceive me, it's too natural." His soul power only moved slightly in the void, and then crushed the old boatman's body to pieces. But as soon as this "flesh" was broken into pieces, it turned into several pieces of fluttering paper.

"The 'Dream Painting Technique' of painting immortals is indeed somewhat unique. If you are not a master of Taoism, it will be difficult to tell the difference between these paintings and real people!"

The magic of painting immortals is very strange and wonderful. Any characters or birds painted with the "Dream Brush Technique" are not much different from the real objects. Those "painting charms" refined with the secret magic of the sect can be disguised. As a living person, ordinary Taoist masters can't see the flaws in it. Only after entering the Taoism and having a qualitative improvement in cultivation can they be able to see through the changes in reality and reality.

He Ping held the scroll in his hand. He knew that the scroll was the "Picture of One Hundred Charms" depicting immortality. However, this scroll of "Picture of Hundred Charms" had not been completed and still lacked more than ten spirits.

"Chixinzi once said that among the more famous techniques for painting immortals, there is the "Hundred Charm Picture". To practice this "Hundred Charm Picture", you need one hundred and eight spirits. If you can If you refine ten of them, you can turn hundreds of charms into thousands of charms, and condense one "Thousands of Essences and Hundreds of Charms", and its power will probably reach a higher level."

Thinking about this, his heart moved.

"The person who controls the old boatman should be the real successor to the Immortal Painting Way. This person placed a ban in this volume of "Hundred Charms" and detained one of the painting charms, allowing it to transform into the old boatman's appearance."

"The art of painting a charm is to take the facial features of a living person and transform the person in the painting into a living person. If the person who controls the "Hundred Charms" intentionally distorts the will of the painting charm, the painting charm will mistakenly think that he is a living person. .”

"This old boatman seems to think that he has inherited the art of painting as an immortal. He lures tourists and people on boats near Jiangxin Island, and after killing them, he becomes a painting charm. In essence, he is making a wedding dress for his master..."

He Ping's thoughts started to spin, and he had another idea.

"This person has worked so hard to set up this game. How can he abandon this "Picture of Hundred Charms"? This volume of "Picture of Hundred Charms" must be subject to a restriction that can be detained at any time. Wait until I type in "Picture of Hundred Charms" If you enter a demon species, let him be detained, and then chase the demon species in the scroll, there will be no problem in finding this person."

He took down the magic seed and threw "Painting Charm" into the air. The strange scroll swayed in the wind, unfolded by itself, swayed into the air again, and disappeared as if melting into the air.

…

At this time, on a tributary of the Li River upstream of Pingyang Lake, hundreds of miles away, a three-story boat covered with colored glaze lanterns was sailing on the river.

The waves on the river are rolling, the boats are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, among the buildings and boats, there are sounds of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing, and bursts of joy and laughter can be heard from time to time.

This three-story boat is twice as big as an ordinary building boat. This boat is definitely custom-made, and its shape is obviously imitated from the painted house boat on the Baiyang River in Yujing City where the prostitution industry is flourishing.

The deck is painted with carved buildings, and the three-story boat is all of extraordinary craftsmanship. The glazed red lights hanging on the boat make the whole body red, which is really beautiful. As for the ostentation on the boat, it is also extremely exaggerated, which shows that the cost is extravagant. .

"Today is Mr. Yan's birthday!" Sitting on a chair was a burly bearded man. He was wearing a brocade robe and was dressed like a wealthy businessman near Liangjiang. "You distinguished guests are willing to board the ship for the banquet, just to support me, Mr. Yan!"

The strong man dressed as a wealthy businessman shouted loudly, held a glass of wine in his hand, and sat in the master's seat of the boat building. There were several prostitutes in gorgeous clothes and beadwork waiting on him.

"Come on, let's have three drinks first."

He raised his wine glass to the guests, who also stood up in a hurry and raised their glasses to greet him.

At this moment, a man dressed as a servant rushed to the wealthy businessman from the side and whispered in his ear.

The wealthy businessman couldn't help but frown, and put down his wine glass. The guests present also showed doubtful expressions.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry. Mr. Yan has something urgent to do. Please leave the table first."

The wealthy businessman surnamed Yan sighed in his heart, turned around and was about to leave. The guests were all dumbfounded, and even the musicians who were playing and singing stopped.

"Don't leave!"

A sharp voice that sounded like a night owl suddenly sounded. The moment the voice sounded, everyone's hearts were shocked. When they looked up, they saw a black figure wearing a cloak appearing on the deck.

"How can the host avoid seeing guests when they come to the door?"

He Ping looked around, then grinned and let out a strange laugh. He was extremely skilled in this operation, and his performance was even more penetrating than those old demons and evil monsters. With this laughter, the guests immediately knew that something big was coming. The evil guest looked frightened.

The wealthy merchant threw the wine glass in his hand, and the gold-plated cup smashed on the deck.

"Keep playing, keep dancing, don't stop!!!"

He stepped on the table and roared like an angry lion, which shocked the scene again. Not only the guests, but also the musicians holding various musical instruments looked at each other and started playing and singing again.

"This guest, how did Yan offend you? Can you please enlighten me?"

The wealthy businessman surnamed Yan clasped his hands and was about to find an excuse to the black-robed weirdo, when a ray of magic flame fell from the sky and burned him to ashes on the spot.

"Is the game of pretending to be a house wine fun?"

He Ping smiled coldly.

"But I'm not interested in playing with you anymore..."

With a wave of his sleeve, the Five Yin Xuan Sha's demonic flames burned up on the boat. The guests and musicians present screamed in agony. Once burned by the fire, each of them turned back into a thin piece of paper. , let out a strange chirping cry, and was burned to ashes by the demonic flames.

It turns out that there is not a single living person on this luxurious ship. The wealthy guests, guests, musicians, and domestic slaves on the ship are all created by the art of painting and enchantment. The meaning of this ship's existence is just a layer of elaborate disguise. !

"Have you already played the show?"

He Ping took a step forward, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, with a smile that was both sarcastic and sarcastic, which was heart-warming.

"It's time for the real owner to come out..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice echoed in his ears.

"Spring brings forth all things, but concubines are not born, and it is even more regretful that souls and fragrances do not meet each other..."

Just when He Ping was about to burn down the three-story ship, a sad lament came from nowhere - without any warning, this lyric-like song suddenly sounded, He Ping's The center of his eyebrows suddenly clenched, as if showing pain.

His entire face seemed to be pulled by some strange force. His nose, eyes, ears, and mouth seemed to be separated from his face and flew out of his face.

"Seize, seize people's facial features..."Thousand Essences and Hundreds of Charms"...Have you finished it?"

He Ping's flying mouth opened and moved in the air, his tone revealed a hint of disbelief,

Just behind him, a woman in red raised her hand and dispersed the firelight on her body. She held the pipa in her arms, played it softly, and plucked the pipa with her backhand.

Amidst the melodious sound of the pipa strings, in an instant, He Ping's facial features... including his nose, eyes, and ears were forcibly taken away, and his entire face became bare and turned into a smooth white panel.
