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

That night, the fire lit up the sky red.

In the streets and alleys of Sui'an City, streaks of purgatory-like fire shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed like beacon smoke.

People in the city were shouting, and the situation was extremely chaotic. All kinds of exclamations, cries, lamentations, and screams were also mixed in. If you carefully observe the situation in the city, you will find that this turmoil is centered on the residence of the prefect Sheng family. , gradually spreading towards the surrounding area, and like a spark igniting a prairie fire, affecting the entire overall situation.

The officials of the government office and the troops of the inspection department were all caught off guard by this sudden situation, scurrying around like headless flies.

…

Among the ruins burned by the fire, the pillars and masonry were charred black, and there were embers everywhere. The smoke was lingering. In the hill made of large piles of walls and rubble, a hand that had been twisted and shriveled by the fire slowly stretched out. The hand spread its fingers and stretched in vain toward the sky.

The next second, the owner of the hand firmly grasped the five fingers stretched toward the sky, and raging flames erupted from the cracks in the rubble, causing heat waves to flow and tongues of fire to shoot out.

A pitch-black foot was lifted out of it, and then it sank down with a "snap" sound. A few sparks of moxibustion floated out of the ashes. As soon as this foot exerted force, the surrounding rubble fragments were pushed away by a wave of air.

boom!

In an instant, red flames soared into the sky, reflecting half of the night sky. The scalding hot wind swept across all directions, and with this momentum, mummy-like figures came out step by step.

This figure is none other than Sheng Qingzhi. His figure was wrapped around his body by several snake-like flames. His entire body looked like a shriveled corpse. His thin face was like a skeleton, and two blue flames emerged from the empty eye sockets.

There seemed to be a different change from before, and there was a subtle expression on the skull-like face that had lost its human "mind".

"He...he, he Ping!!!"

The skull face let out a roar, the hoarse sound was indistinguishable, like a terrifying beast's roar,

"Where are you--"

Light cyan fire erupted from the broken body. The heat was blazing and the air was steaming. There seemed to be layers of rays of light flying around the body, containing a heat that melted flesh and blood.

…

"found it!"

"In that direction..."

Two voices sounded, and in an instant, the two figures barely touched the ground. In a flash, they passed over the eaves and tiles, one after another, flying towards the direction of the burning man.

"Qing, Qingyang... This is probably the 'Qingyang Tribulation' in "Three Yang Tribulations"!!"

Chi Xinzi's green robe was flying, and his black boots stepped on the spider web hanging in the air. The fire below was boiling, the air flow was floating, and his sleeves and robe were also flying up.

"Good guy! Could it be that this guy absorbed the power from the elixir fire talisman and evolved the first of the three yang tribulations, the 'Qing Yang tribulation'?!"

He turned to look at the figure hanging in the air on the other side, which was hooked with silk thread on the raised eaves, and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother He, what you told me is right, something is wrong with this guy. If you leave it alone, big problems will arise.”

Just now, after breaking through the "Hun Ming Tian Cap Formation", the battlefield immediately spread from Sheng Mansion to Sui'an City. Sheng Qingzhi, who had turned into a mummy, set his sights on He Ping and Chi Xinzi, chasing after the two of them. .

The two sides clashed again, and the war spread to the surrounding houses and streets. Sheng Qingzhi, who was transformed into a fireman, was simply a disaster born of fire. Wherever he went, everything burned and nothing burned.

As soon as they fought like this, the entire city of Sui'an suffered a disaster. Under the entanglement of the blazing sun, puppet thaumaturgy, and evil magic, fires ignited everywhere like a fire dragon invading the city. After a while of fighting, there was no end. How many residents of the city were burned to death.

He Ping and Chi Xinzi were such cunning and treacherous people. In their hearts, they had no interest in continuing to fight with Sheng Qingzhi who had become like this. All they could think about was looking for opportunities to escape.

——The Shengqing who became an "immortal evil creature" may not be very strong, but the high temperature released from his whole body is too strong, and he cannot get close at all. Even if he tries to bind the opponent with silk thread or other methods, he will be burned, so it is abnormal to kill him. Difficulties.

Apart from this, this "immortal creature" has no special abilities and is not an extremely powerful monster.

When the situation reached this point, both He Ping and Chi Xinzi began to think about retreating, until the sound came out of the hollow-like mouth on the burned-black skull face.

"...kill...kill you..."

His voice was magnetic, and when he spoke, a faint green flame flashed through the orifices of his mouth and nose.

"He Ping, I'm going to kill you two."

The voice was like the hoarse cry of a wild animal, and the muffled voice could never be heard by others. However, the two people present heard it clearly, and at the same time, their expressions became strange.

"It's weird, isn't the undead creature a mindless monster?"

"No, does this guy still have a will? Or... is he recovering himself?"

He Ping and Chi Xinzi both thought of a terrible possibility, and immediately took action with all their strength. The overwhelming power suddenly came over, and Sheng Qingzhi's fiery figure also burst out with green flames and crashed into the air.

boom!

The forces of each other collided with each other. Sheng Qingzhi was completely defeated. He was directly blasted back. He flew out instantly and hit a courtyard wall. With the bang and explosion, he didn't know how many houses were smashed through and burned along the way. How many houses has it been worn?

"... Qingyang Tribulation."

He Ping got a lot of information about Chongyang Palace from Chi Xinzi. Chongyang Palace was one of the three giants of Taoism in the world. Together with Wanqing Sect and Xuantian Temple, it was known as the three innates of Taoism.

The Chongyang Palace masters the "Three Yang Tribulation" among the 36 dharma, ranking ninth. It is said that this dharma was passed down from the founder of the Chongyang Palace, Patriarch Liehuo.

Ancestor Liehuo and the disciples of Chongyang Palace all believe that when the world was first created and all things were in chaos, everything in the primordial world originated from "fire". Fire is the origin of wisdom and the source of all things.

This group of people regard fire as a mysterious power. The immortal fire of Yuanhuang and the immortal fire are worshiped in the Phoenix Hall of Chongyang Palace. They firmly believe that the ancient sacrificial fire contains the wisdom of the great road, supreme courage, and the secret of creation.

As for the "Three Yang Tribulation" of Chongyang Palace, it is itself a dharma for entry into the Tao that explains the secret of fire sacrifice.

The monks of Chongyang Palace only need to introduce a trace of the power of the sacrificial fire into their bodies to master the advanced cultivation. If they take the specially refined 'Elixir Fire Talisman' and use the ritual of sacrificial fire to assist, they will have extremely high abilities. The extremely low success rate allows users to directly enter the Tao and transform from ordinary mortals into Tao-level masters.

However, the probability of success is too low. Even if tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people take the elixir fire talisman, they may not be able to become a Taoist master, and if they fail, they will quickly burn to ashes.

"Sheng Qingzhi is the 'Taoist'. The monks of the Chongyang Palace spent a lot of effort to select a type of people with extraordinary talents. Such people have a great chance of becoming Taoists after taking the elixir fire talisman."

Chi Xinzi stretched out his hand and pointed at the mummy, whose whole body was shrouded in light blue flames. There seemed to be a life force gestating among the green flames.

"The sacrificial fire in this person's body is transforming into the power of Qingyang Tribulation, giving him a trace of life again..."Three Yang Tribulation" is divided into three types of power: Qingyang, Red Yang and White Yang. Ordinary undead evil creatures are just An immortal beast that is ignorant and has no sense or emotions, but some kind of mutation that we don't know about must have happened to this Sheng Qingzhi, and he is regaining his mind."

In an instant, his tone became serious.

"I believe you also understand that this guy can no longer be left alone!"

He Ping remained silent, but he also knew that Sheng Qingzhi, who kept his sanity intact, would not be able to survive despite any desperate measures.

As long as Sheng Qing survives, his and Chi Xinzi's plans will most likely be exposed.

If anyone knew about it, it would be tantamount to offending the three major forces: the imperial court, the Ni Cult, and the Chongyang Palace, and would definitely be retaliated against in the future.

On the other hand, as long as Sheng Qingzhi is killed here, all secrets can be buried in darkness.

"Then just do as your senior brother said."

He Ping spoke silently. He raised his right hand. Countless threads were connected between his five fingers. Long spider-like threads scattered in the air. He stretched out his hand and stroked them, and they suddenly straightened and tightened——

clank.

As he plucked the strings between his fingers, he heard a loud sound from somewhere below, a large earth wall exploded, and a paper-white sedan flew out, speeding up suddenly.

boom! The paper sedan bumped into him from behind. Before Sheng Qingzhi could turn around, he was knocked out again by the dazzling golden light on the sedan.

The fireman roared angrily, and green flames burned all over his body. He raised his neck, and suddenly breathed out a mouthful of flames, which split into two in the air and turned into two flames, flying in the direction of He Ping and Sheng Qingzhi.

He Ping swung the cuff of his left hand and fired out countless blades of wind, splitting the flames in the air;

On the other side, Chi Xinzi was hit by the fire, and his figure split into two. He used the armor escape technique and escaped easily.

"The power of the Qingyang Tribulation is pretty good. If he continues to let the fire-sacrifice power of his physical strength evolve and turn into the Red Sun Tribulation, then we will be even more passive... Junior brother, don't hold back, get rid of him as soon as possible."

He sneered.

"good."

He Ping nodded in agreement.

"There is an inland river in the city nearby. Throwing him down can extinguish the fire on this guy. Let's try again to see if the Eight-Element Lock Skeleton can seal his movements. If it succeeds, it won't be difficult to kill him ten times... …”

"That's it!"

Chi Xinzi moved his hands in a circle around the sky, and something seemed to be tightened in the air.

Then, he shouted in a low voice, and countless golden lights suddenly flew over from all directions, like golden meteors, crashing together tens of meters above his head.

This scene is very strange. Those golden lights swirled into a ball, and then whirled like a spinning wheel. More golden lights spun in the same place for a few times, whizzing into the golden wheel-like afterimage, and quickly combined to form a huge rosette.

"Detached ghost hands?"

He Ping's eyes widened, and he was shocked to see hundreds of separate ghost hands spliced ​​together, turning into a rosette composed of countless arms.

"Go!"

The huge rosette flew into the air, and hundreds of black gold palms opened, exuding a golden metallic luster.

The puppet rosette shrouded the sky above Sheng Qingzhi's head. In an instant, the golden light was blazing, and it even revealed a somewhat holy atmosphere!

This scene is like a golden Buddha lotus flying down from the sky to suppress the evil spirits in the hell fire.

The "immortal evil creature" howled angrily and was about to try to resist. The rosette bathed in a layer of golden light fell down and pressed hard on Sheng Qingzhi who had green flames flowing all over his body.
