Chapter 23
Puppet stolen?
The monks looked at each other.
The defense of Pearl City, even though it is a mortal, also has puppets available - like Zhang Shiqi and Tian Ping, they manipulate puppets through talisman boxes to strengthen their armies.
However, during a night exercise five days ago, talisman boxes burst one after another.
Naturally, the sergeant didn't know the reason, he only knew that the puppet would be damaged if the talisman box burst.
Apart from improper operation, there is only one reason for the puppet to be damaged by external force.
——Destroyed by monks?
The odds are slim.
Cultivators think highly of themselves, and usually do not compete with mortals who are "like ants".Destroy mortal things?It is inevitable that the price will drop.
——Destroyed by the enemy?
In addition to the enemy country is bandit, very possible.
Everyone went to look for the damaged puppet, but found nothing except traces of beasts.
It's not just damage, it's theft!
Theft is worse than damage, for one thing the cost of repair is far from the cost of replacement.
The second is more important: military supplies are allowed to be damaged and replaced, but accidental damage must always be explained. Without the evidence of the wreckage of the puppet, any reason is untenable.
Therefore, in the past few days, Pearl City seems to be tense, and it is very vigilant.
However, there was no sign that the spies from the enemy country came in. There were many ferocious beasts on that mountain, and there were no bandits.
It will be difficult to do so.
At this time, the staff asked whether this matter was done by monks?
Even though the monks regard mortals as ants and will not attack mortals, if the monks are determined to oppose Zhenzhu City, even if they die in response to the catastrophe, they can drag the whole city to be buried with them.
But when the puppet strikes in the dead of night, is it possible for the cultivator to hit him by mistake?
The city lord deeply agreed.If it is the former, once the Pearl City is gone and the city lord has no way out, it is better to try to turn hostility into friendship and eliminate misunderstandings.If the latter, you can rest assured.
Then, the most urgent task is to determine the track of the monk.
——Naturally rely on monks to help.
In order to prevent too many people's eyes from distracting people's minds from being unstable, the invitation has to be extended at night.
Shi Daozi is no stranger to such things that require the help of monks.He is naturally familiar with the seven present here.
Among them, Shi Daozi's cultivation in the mid-stage of Qi training is not the lowest.The highest level of cultivation is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment.The appearance of monks during the foundation building period usually does not change, but that person has already shown the signs of the five declines of heaven and man, which means that there is only one year left before the death.
Fortunately, when my lifespan was about to expire, I left a little fire for the master.Shi Daozi thought so.
And... five days ago?
It seems that Yu Zhigui is the Pearl City that arrived five days ago.
He secretly rejoiced that Yu Zhigui was not picked up by other monks on the way, it was really God's help.
The successor of "Tinder" in his heart, the 350th second head of Feixia Sect, Yu Zhigui, who is eight years old this year, is wearing a coat and reading "Feixia Heart Method" at night.
Of course, Yu Zhigui didn't need to change course. He was still in the state of mind. As long as his body recovered and the resources of spirit stones and beasts could keep up, it would be almost effortless for him to reach the Jin state.The purpose of reading "Feiya Heart Method" is nothing more than to compare and learn from others.
The entry-level mentality of any sect should not be underestimated. This is the first shovel from the ground of a lofty building. If the foundation is solid, it will be easy to advance.
Yu Zhigui is a person who has modified the mentality of his sect, and he is not lacking in vision. "Fei Xia Heart Method" is slightly different from his own "Royal Heart Jue", it talks about the method of getting started by selecting a spirit beast and building a Taoist heart together.And "Royal Heart Jue" is to cultivate the mind first, and to cultivate the mind to attract the spirit beasts to return.
There are three thousand roads, all of which lead to immortals, it is difficult to say which is better, but it is possible to communicate with each other.
Thinking about "communicating with each other", the two ways of controlling beasts are still different, so how can the control of puppets and beasts communicate with each other, so as to respond to the way of heaven and thus soar?Yu Zhigui was gradually immersed in thinking.
The biggest difference between puppets and spirit beasts is whether they have intelligence or not.
In order to communicate with the spirit beasts, the beast master often eats, lives, advances and retreats with the spirit beasts.
Yu Zhigui heard from friends that in order to refine the powerful puppet Yu Tianjie, who is as powerful as an arm command, the puppet master will also melt his own flesh and blood into it.
—Could it be that you feed the beast with your body?
It was too bloody.Yu Zhigui frowned slightly, denying this path.
He also didn't intend to stuff the soul of the spirit beast into the puppet.After all, he himself was stuffed into the body of the spirit beast, and it was not a comfortable thing for a living spirit beast to push himself and others.
... What about the dead?
In the moment of natural death, is it feasible?
Theoretically speaking, it is operable, but in reality - the number of high-level spirit beasts is scarce, and then find another spirit beast that is on the verge of death?What luck!
It seems that this is not the solution... Yu Zhigui continued to think.
Thinking about it, he forgot that his eight-year-old body couldn't bear staying up all night, so he lay down on the table and fell asleep.
Zhang Shiqi silently carried his master back to the bed.
The master is now the head of a faction and the master of a sect, which Zhang Shiqi could never have dreamed of.Even though Fei Xia Sect has few people at present, he firmly believes that the master is an extraordinary person, and sooner or later he will soar into the sky.
At that time, the Zhang family's revenge, the old master's revenge, must be avenged.
Zhang Shiqi felt very relieved. Fortunately, the owner who didn't know what was inside the shell missed the old love.
The next day, Yu Zhigui circled several parts of "Fei Xia Xin Dharma", added his own understanding, and asked Shi Daozi for advice.
To communicate with each other is to discuss and verify what you think and learn with each other. As the saying goes, the more the theory is, the clearer the theory is, the clearer the reasoning is.
Shi Daozi was already mentally prepared for the fact that Yu Zhigui could read the whole article as soon as he came up.
However, without explaining it, he was able to point out the key points of "Fei Xia Xin Dharma" overnight, which was simply a miracle for him.
If it wasn't for his deafness, the child prodigy would have been picked out by the sect long ago.
It is also because of deafness that even if he can memorize "Fei Xia Xin Dharma" backwards, he will not be able to practice at all.
Shi Daozi loves and regrets at the same time.And as the two of them discussed in depth, they loved and regretted it more and more—until Yu Zhigui's question gradually went beyond the scope of "Fei Xia Xinfa", and he couldn't answer it!
Shi Daozi was shocked!
——What kind of cultivation talent is this! ?
Yu Zhigui didn't care, it was flattering to praise him with the word "talent", his age and cultivation level were enough to be honored as "Xianzun" or "Old Ancestor".
"The principle has been explained, and the following content is in the jade slip. I also have many puzzles, so I can learn from it slowly. Before that, you must have a spirit beast." Shi Daozi said, "Beasts are fine, too. It would be best if it can understand human nature, such as dogs or cows and horses." His spirit beast is the bar-tailed yellow dog, which is a hybrid of the yellow-pink spirit beast bar-tailed wolf and ordinary wild dogs, smarter than ordinary beasts, and stronger than spirit beasts. Much worse.
The dog looked alive and kicking, but in fact it was already in its twilight years, it could live nearly a hundred years old, it has already been honored by the spotted-tailed wolf.
Because of this, Shi Daozi explained to Yu Zhigui that when he couldn't lend him the yellow dog, Yu Zhigui deeply understood.If it were him, he would also be reluctant to lend out the spirit beast that has been with him for a lifetime and whose lifespan is approaching.
"If I had known the situation had changed to this point, I would have brought a young snake with me when I came out of the mountain." Yu Zhigui thought to himself.
Although the blind snakes are not spirit beasts, they have a deep relationship with him day and night, and he doesn't mind using the beast spirit pill in the future to improve their level.
——When he thought of the blind snakes, he thought of the Snake King again. He hadn't been imprisoned in the Snake Pagoda for a long time, and Yu Zhigui missed it very much.
He will go back one day, find the only relic of his friend, and have a good chat with the Snake King.
Spiritual beasts should all hope to advance...
"Your current body can't draw qi into your body, how about picking a dog to practice your hands first?" Shi Daozi suggested.
He is still regretting that heaven is jealous of talents, how such a good seedling is restricted by his innate physical body.It's a pity that his cultivation base is low, and he is blinded by another leaf. He didn't realize that Yu Zhigui was staying on the threshold of the Qi refining period, so he missed the door.
Yu Zhigui had other plans.
"Brother, do you still have old acquaintances in the cultivation world?"
"Are you planning to..."
"Learn more about cultivation." Yu Zhigui wrote, "I want to go to the world of cultivation."
He analyzed it to Shi Daozi: practice requires spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy in the cultivation world is much stronger than that in the common world; a beast master needs spirit beasts, which can only be met in the cultivation world; his ears may be cured with panacea... Therefore, must go.
"Ordinary people in the realm of comprehension often suffer from fires at the city gates and fish in the pond, aren't you worried?"
Yu Zhigui wrote: "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, so is cultivation."
Seeing the firm attitude of this new junior brother, Shi Daozi thought for a while that he should support him.It's just that he now has a land, a house, a status, and descendants. In his old age, he really doesn't want to risk his life.However, the old acquaintances in the comprehension world have not been in touch for many years, and they may not be able to look down on people who are returning to the vulgar.
He thought about it, and suddenly had an idea: "I have an idea..."
As a result of the eight monks' discussions in the city lord's mansion last night, some of them went to the mountain to check the traces of the monks, and some of them still had contacts with the cultivation world, so they went to ask about it.
Among them is a puppet master who was in the early stage of foundation establishment. Although he returned to vulgarity, he has not lost contact with the sect. to eat.
Not only food, but also clothing and other daily expenses.
Especially at the beginning of practice, not all puppet masters can use high-grade materials, such as Jingsi, Yinhun stone, dark blood, suburban vine, century-old flying iron, thousand-year-old Zen tooth...don't even think about it.
They can only practice with ordinary gloomy wood, walnut, yellow scorpion, maple and poplar, as well as magnet hematite, limonite and side iron.
Things like this are all produced by the world.
"That Taoist brother will soon take a batch of high-grade wood to Douhua City, where monks and mortals live together, which is suitable for you. Let me ask him if he would like to take you for a ride."
Yu Zhigui nodded happily. If he wanted to sleep off, he would give him a pillow, and if he wanted to eat, he would get a pie. It was really gratifying to be able to connect with the cultivation world so quickly.
As long as you act carefully and keep a low profile, you shouldn't make any mistakes.
In Pearl City, he didn't inquire about anything in the mountainside at all, and no one mentioned it from the beginning to the end, so he was a little relaxed.
However, he didn't know that no matter Caiwei Sect, Zi Ning Xianzong, or even various sects, all focused their attention on the cultivation world, not the world of mortals.
