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

The technique in the next article, called "The Incense-Heng Shen Technique", is more suitable for my own requirements and has the convenience of quick results.

This method is also obviously different from the "Five Sons Picking Peach Method". There is no need to find any baby corpses to plant peach trees. The "Incense-Shengshen Method" requires zombies, and the more ferocious the zombies, the better.

As the saying goes, the mutilated corpse will decay. If the corpse is not laid to rest or buried in the wrong place after death, it will turn into evil corpse. The refined corpse ashes are made into a spiritual incense called "death and longevity incense".

This spiritual incense extracts the yin life, death and longevity of the evil corpse. The monk inhales this death and longevity incense, turns yin into yang, turns death into life, and can extend his life for a hundred days.

In addition, the more ferocious the corpse used to refine the incense of death and longevity, the more yin life can be increased.

Of course, this method also does not increase the yang lifespan, nor does it have any benefit in the way of cultivation. The method of hanging one's life by borrowing yin debt only gives people a little more time to survive.

"Furthermore, the method of using incense to hold gods also has disadvantages. If you use this method, there will be many taboos. For example, you can't eat the meat of animals, even things that fly in the sky and swim in the water; you can't drink raw water or drinking water on weekdays. It must be boiled with gold and iron before it can be drunk; every ten days, the blood of the Black Wind Snake must be sucked regularly..."

Refining this "death and longevity incense" is not easy, and zombies are not easy to find. Fortunately, He Ping found a female corpse in the ancestral hall. The female corpse had grown white hair, and he only needed to find a corpse. After growing on the ground for a period of time, a white-haired corpse can be made.

"If we can take a step closer and refine a white evil spirit into a black evil spirit, the effect of the incense of death and longevity will be much stronger, and it can extend the life for two hundred days."

Two hundred days of yin life, even if it cannot replace the energy, blood and essence brought by his yang life, it still gives him some extra time.

He Ping put down his black umbrella, sat back on his chair, and slowly closed his eyes in deep thought.

"Let's not care about the death of Shouxiang for the moment, but I found the Black Stone Bodhisattva from the formation. That thing is a bit weird. After taking it home recently, it almost caused trouble."

In the center of the ancestral hall, he found an eyeless Bodhisattva statue that was used as a counterweight. After the Bodhisattva statue was brought back under a ban, it was hidden in this room.

In recent days, many servants, servants, and even family members in the He Mansion often have strange dreams after falling asleep at night.

In the dream, an eyeless old monk appeared in front of their bed. His hands formed a strange mudra and he kept chanting a sutra.

In less than three days, this incident gradually caused a small commotion in the He Mansion.

Many servants in the He family felt panic. Fortunately, the rules of the He family were always strict and there was no trouble.

…

According to the descriptions of everyone in the He Mansion, the dream was bizarre and strange, and the strangest thing was that everyone had similar dreams.

——That was an old monk in rags and dirty clothes. His wrinkled face was so wrinkled that the skin folds could kill a fly.

This old monk gave people the impression of being very old. He exuded a rotten air of death, his skin was yellow, and his skin was covered with age spots... In the dream, his dry face was squeezed out. A bit of a smile.

The smile on his face was full of deathly silence.

Such a strange old monk appears at the dreamer's bedside in a dream, making seals with his hands and chanting.

"Fire Buddha Xiuyi, the heart is silent!!"

——Fire Buddha cultivates one, and his heart is silent.

He Ping frowned slightly as he recalled this incident.

He had never heard of this spell and didn't understand what it meant. However, the fact that so many people in the He family had the same dream proved that this matter was not simple.

"This kind of strange dream should be caused by the stone statue. I have found a craftsman to make a sealable iron box, coat the outer layer with lead, and then use the secret method of 'Eight Element Lock Skeleton' to impose two layers of blood curse restrictions, and then Bind him with chains and sink him into a deep pool outside the city. Presumably nothing will happen again."

After disposing of the stone statues, he issued an order to the people in the He Mansion, requiring everyone to strictly refrain from disclosing the matter to the outside world. He also ordered the butler He Fusheng to send people to guard the deep pool to keep an eye on whether the stone statues in the deep pool would act like monsters again. .

He knew very well in his heart that the "token" that could serve as the center of the ancestral hall was certainly not an ordinary thing.

He Ping also made two preparations to prevent accidents. On the one hand, he did this naturally to prevent the Bodhisattva statue from doing any tricks; on the other hand, it was also to prevent the person who set up the formation from tracking him.

This town object cannot prolong life, it is not very useful to him, and he will not be too greedy for it. However, since the Wandering Ghost Ghost Village was destroyed, he had already offended the person who set up the ghost formation, so there was really no need to continue to cause trouble.

"Next is the young boy who was captured. However, after this man was brought back, he had a high fever and has been in a coma. He has not woken up yet."

He sent an informant from the He family outside to investigate the information and found out that the young man in green was named "Cheng Zhi".

This ambition comes from a relatively small background. His ancestors were the owners of the famous Chengjia Ranch in Beifu Prefecture.

The family has been running the ranch for more than a hundred years, and is quite famous. Unfortunately, two years ago, a group of horse thieves broke into Chengjia Ranch. Except for Cheng Zhi and his sister Cheng Yujiao, the entire Chengjia family was wiped out.

This matter later turned into an unsolved case. After the gang of horse thieves killed people, they robbed a batch of property. When they ran away, they did not forget to set fire to the pasture, burning the family's long-established business to ashes. The government sent Investigations yielded no results.

"Now it seems that the ones who did it were not horse thieves, but people from the Hu Ma Gang. By the way, Cheng Zhi also has a sister. If nothing else, it's the female corpse?"

He Ping rubbed his chin.

The case of Chengjia Ranch seems to be very complicated. Although the Huma Gang is not clean, they will not rashly attack a respectable family like Chengjia Ranch. Even if they are disguised as horse bandits, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult. end.

Jie San is a smart man. There is not much benefit in doing this kind of business. What is he planning?

However, if this matter is really the work of the Huma Gang, there must be something behind it...

(Chengjia Ranch, how can a ranch offend Jie San and the Huma Gang? There must be something wrong here... By the way, there seems to be a rumor that Jie San's Huma Gang is related to a certain big shot in Sui'an City. Could it be that ...The Huma Gang destroyed Chengjia Ranch and acted as a knife for others?)

Suddenly, there was a "dong-dong" knock on the door outside the house.

"Master, I have something to report."

The visitor is He Fusheng, the steward of the He Mansion.

"Come in."

He Fusheng walked in respectfully.

"Tell me, what do you want to report?"

"The previous investigation has already begun to take shape..."

He Fusheng lowered his voice and said slowly: "It was indeed the young master's father-in-law who introduced Cheng Zhi into the house, and it was the young master He Xiping who came up with the idea... I also heard something, that is, recently On that day, He Xiping got closer to Sheng Qinghong, the son of the prefect Shengren."

"Oh, there is such a thing."

He Ping's eyebrows were raised, and thoughts were running rapidly in his mind.

"The prefect Sheng Qingzhi has great power in Sui'an City. The big shot the Huma Gang has made friends with is the prefect himself..."

This idea came to his mind, and his mind gradually started to move.

In fact, He Ping had met Sheng Qinghong several times and had some impressions, but it was not a good impression.

Sheng Qinghong is the only son of Magistrate Sheng. He is arrogant and domineering.

Under the protection of his father, he had the status of a martial arts scholar. She was once asked by Sheng Qing to train in the army, but because of his bad character, he offended a powerful person.

The prefect Sheng had no choice but to spend a lot of money to save the person.

"This Sheng Qinghong is a dandy, but he is indeed valued by his father. Are He Jin and his son trying to win over him?"

There was a sneer on the corner of He Ping's mouth.

"More than that, what the father and son did was not just that simple..."

He Fusheng also smiled coldly.

"Young Master, in the past few years, your father-in-law has been keeping quiet on the surface, secretly arranging for his son to make friends with the wealthy children in Sui'an City, and secretly wooing several shopkeepers in charge of rice shops, herbal medicine shops, and pawn shops. Even me, he wants to bribe me with money..."

Having said this, the butler took out a money bag from his sleeve and opened it. There was a pile of yellow gold cakes inside.

"I dare not touch any of the gold cakes in this purse, but young master, we cannot continue to ignore this matter, otherwise, sooner or later, the He family will be in trouble."

The Zhongfu mentioned by the housekeeper He Fusheng was his uncle He Jin. He Jin was born in a side house and was the half-brother of He Ping's father. However, the relationship between the two brothers was not good.

After the death of He Ping's father, the position of head of the family also passed to He Ping. He Jin has always wanted to be the head of the He family, and has always been quite critical of He Ping who became the head of the family at such a young age.

It's just that since He Ping became the head of the family, he has acted vigorously and resolutely, and he has managed the family business better and better, and the business has grown bigger and bigger. Everyone in the He family has no objection to him as the head of the family.

No, it can't be said that he didn't have any objections. He Ping became the head of the family and handled the affairs of the He family. Xiaoxiao, who was short-sighted, also gave him trouble, but then strange things happened inexplicably. Either he had an accident or died of a strange illness.

Outsiders can't see any flaws, but those who are interested realize that this is probably the method of the young family head He Ping. Seeing this, He Jin stopped talking and acted more low-key.

But He Ping knew that both He Jin and his son He Xiping were very ambitious. They had been secretly accumulating power over the years and had evil intentions, but they had always concealed them very well...

"If He Jin and He Xiping were wiser, I would be too lazy to take action against them. If they dare to offend me, I would find an opportunity to kill them."

He Ping's eyes were deep and cold, and he had murderous intent in his heart.

In his previous life, his character could not be said to be law-abiding. After coming to this world, when he became the head of the He family, he was assassinated many times, including people he was close to and trusted.

After experiencing this series of changes, He Ping learned deeply that in this world, one cannot pay attention to "women's kindness" when doing things. When necessary, he must be decisive and decisive, not giving others the opportunity to plot against him.

This time, the actions of He Jin and his son had touched upon his murderous intention.

"By the way," He Fusheng continued: "Master, the man you brought back was obviously unconscious a few days ago, but he woke up today for some reason."

"You mean Chengzhi, is he awake?"

He Ping's eyes lit up slightly, this was good news.
