Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Inside the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror] space.

After retracting his physical body, the treasure mirror immediately sent back a message, causing Lin Mo to frown: "No way!"

The meaning of the treasure mirror is that when he cast his incense and golden body, his spiritual consciousness also collapsed. The reconstructed sea of ​​consciousness was not yet finalized before he took possession of his physical body, which was somewhat incompatible with his soul.

Simply put, it's just a little lacking in finesse.

The bok choy hearts weren't cooked through.

If Lin Mo were to return to his physical body at this moment, there would be compatibility issues.

This will be detrimental to your future spiritual practice.

Instead of doing that, why not just settle this life simulation and start a new identity?

The newly acquired identity resulted in a physical body that was directly forged into a golden statue, and the consciousness was also 100% in harmony with the divine soul.

Lin Mo was not in a hurry to make a decision, but instead checked the settlement of the Dream Ruins Blessed Land.

Looking up, I was surprised to find that there was no written summary on the sky as usual.

Instead, it was a series of scenes.

It was a rural paradise, where the villagers lived in peace and contentment. The weather was favorable, the fields were crisscrossed, and the rice seedlings were growing very well. In two more months, they would surely have a good harvest.

However, a massive black cloud descended.

The people working in the fields looked up in surprise and gazed into the distance.

The moving dark clouds pressed in rapidly, accompanied by a deafening buzzing sound.

"Oh no, it's a locust plague!"

The villagers hurriedly tried to drive away the locusts, but the plague was too severe, and the sudden outbreak of locusts resulted in a complete crop failure.

No one noticed that amidst this locust plague, there was a splash of pink.

Crimson moths were mixed in with the locust plague. At first, there were not many of them. They were weak and alone among the locusts, and could only quietly attach themselves to the villagers.

It quietly crept into the villagers' ears without them noticing. By the time they realized something was wrong, their minds had been completely devoured, and they had become puppets.

The crimson moth feeds on the essence of the puppet, uses its body as a nest to hatch its eggs, and its ranks gradually grow.

The imperial court ordered all counties and prefectures to open their granaries and distribute grain for disaster relief, but Zhu E secretly sneaked into the prefectural government office.

From high-ranking officials to lowly clerks, all were corrupted in body and mind, becoming puppets to be manipulated.

Officials were no longer officials; government grain meant for disaster relief was sold off; starving people littered the fields, and people resorted to cannibalism.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Zhu E puppet incited the people to revolt.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion spread like wildfire, becoming uncontrollable.

Soon, their ranks spread across the seven prefectures of Jiangnan, growing to a million strong.

The imperial court appointed the Duke of Zhenguo as commander-in-chief, leading 300,000 troops to suppress the rebellion.

However, when Zhu E passed through the area, the entire army of 300,000 was turned into puppets overnight.

Zhu'e marched north with unstoppable momentum!

The scene ended abruptly there, and Lin Mo knew what happened next.

Words appeared on the sky.

The lives of the common people are as worthless as weeds; how unfortunate! Their lives are so cheap, merely stepping stones for others' grand ambitions!

[Lin Mo, the Lord of Xuantian, sneaked into the Dream Ruins Blessed Land of the Three Thousand Realms Jing Kingdom, stole incense offerings to forge the "Joyful Zen Body," causing the Jade Buddha Sect Blessed Land to lose the souls of five million commoners, and seizing the Jade Buddha Sect's fortune, increasing his fortune value by 5000.]

After reviewing the results, Lin Mo pondered for a moment before asking, "Where is the [Rakshasa Demon-Forging Cauldron]? Who took it?"

[Xuantian Baojian] did not reply.

At this moment, Su Tanyin's charming voice, which had been included in the [Garan Manifestation of the Holy Dharma Protector Vajra Dharani Talisman], came, boasting, "Master, this servant might know who stole the [Rakshasa Demon-Forging Cauldron]."

Lin Mo asked疑惑地问道, "You know? Who is it?"

Su Tanyin said, "It's Qiu Niang."

"Qiu Niang? How could that be?"

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised. She was just an outer disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, how could she have such great abilities?

Su Tanyin explained, "Master, if it were the real Qiu Niang, it would naturally be impossible, but unfortunately she is not the real Qiu Niang."

"what?"

Lin Mo's expression hardened, and he immediately understood.

"Has she been possessed?"

Su Tanyin grunted in agreement and flattered, "Master's prediction is correct; she has indeed been possessed."

Lin Mo frowned: "You knew about this all along?"

Su Tanyin replied, "Actually, as early as when my father and I arrived at Qunyu Pavilion, Qiu Niang was replaced by someone from the Three Immortals Sect. The person who replaced her was a true disciple of the Immortal Sect."

Lin Mo's pupils suddenly contracted.

Everything makes sense now.

No wonder the Jade Pavilion allows Su Tanyin to move around right under its nose.

It turns out that Su Tanyin and Yixiu's every move had been under surveillance.

He was guided step by step to obtain the scriptures, and then sought out Su Tanyin to cultivate in the Dream Ruins Blessed Land.

It was all a game she had planned long ago.

From the very beginning, when I was resurrected as the [Medicine Gourd], she must have seen through my disguise.

However, she did not expose her on the spot, but continued to act and pretend.

They lure themselves in step by step.

This scheme was so elaborate that it sent chills down Lin Mo's spine. His path of cultivation had been meticulously planned out by someone else.

There was just one thing he couldn't understand.

He summoned the puppeteer Qiu Niang.

The puppet Qiu Niang's figure has already become ethereal and will soon disappear.

[To obtain light by chiseling a hole in the wall] The power of scriptures is not limitless.

Lin Mo said to Su Tanyin, "This is a puppet I created by condensing my qi using a secret method. If Qiu Niang is an imposter, why did I use her qi as a guide, and why did I condense Qiu Niang instead of the true master?"

Su Tanyin explained, "Master, you are unaware of this. The immortal sects have some methods that are even more secretive than possession. They can keep the person's aura completely unchanged, and ordinary spells cannot detect it. From the outside, they are no different from the original person. In fact, they cannot even realize that they have been replaced."

Lin Mo was stunned: "There's such a powerful spell? What kind of spell is it?"

Su Tanyin explained, "The technique of 'Stealing Life' was created by a traitor of the immortal sect. To use this technique, one only needs to cut off a wisp of one's own spiritual consciousness and integrate it into the body of the person one wants to replace, into the true spirit of the other party. In this way, you are in me and I am in you, and the body replacement is completed silently. Outsiders will not notice anything, and there are almost no flaws."

"If it's so perverse, then it means they can control whoever they want." Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine, and his hair stood on end. He was quite wary of the Immortal Sect's stealthy substitution technique.

After all, nobody wants to be replaced by someone else without realizing it.

Su Tanyin reassured her, "Master, there's no need to worry. Although this technique is powerful, it can only be used on cultivators of lower levels. It cannot be used on cultivators of the same or higher level, and it is even more impossible to use it on you, Master."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Lin Mo pressed.

Su Tanyin explained, "Your spiritual consciousness is quite unique. Ordinary people's spiritual consciousness doesn't have any attributes at all, but your spiritual consciousness actually has the attributes of thunder and fire. Thunder and fire are extremely yang things, which can kill evil spirits. Foreign spiritual consciousness is evil spirits to you, and cannot invade your sea of ​​consciousness at all, let alone use [Life Stealing] to replace it."

That's good.

Lin Mo let out a long breath, finally able to put his mind at ease.

Suddenly, something came to mind.

"Su Tanyin, how do you know so much about the [Life Stealing] technique?"

"This..." Su Tanyin suddenly became hesitant.

Lin Mo's face hardened: "Tell the truth."

Su Tanyin's voice immediately became timid, and she coquettishly pleaded, "Master, spare me! In the past, in order to escape Yixiu's control, I secretly practiced treacherous magic. Please forgive me."

"Teach me the magic."

Due to time constraints, Lin Mo hadn't thoroughly examined Su Tanyin's memory bank, and unexpectedly, he had overlooked such an important spell.

Looking back now, when the two were discussing how to deal with Yi Xiu, why did Su Tanyin suggest possessing Emperor Chengping to set a trap? It's likely that this tyrannical emperor had already been secretly subjected to her [Life Stealing] technique.

They were just waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to Ikkyu.

This woman's cunning is truly astounding.

Thankfully, the [Galan Manifestation of the Holy Dharma Protector Vajra Dharani Talisman] was powerful, completely transforming her into a Dharma Protector Vajra. If she had harbored any wicked intentions, would I still be alive now?

After the [Life Stealing] spell was introduced, Lin Mo quickly mastered it.

The art of "stealing lives" involves stealing the lives of others to enrich oneself.

Those who are possessed by this spell will become clones of others, but at the same time retain their independent personalities, can continue to cultivate, and are no different from normal people, almost unaware that the people around them have been quietly possessed.

This technique is extraordinary, but it is just as Su Tanyin told us.

Its use is extremely limited; it can only be applied to downward modifications.

It's simply impossible to reverse the upward trend.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Once you defeat and subdue the upper cultivator, and successfully pry open his sea of ​​consciousness, you can still complete the [Life Stealing].

As Lin Mo continued to delve deeper into the spell, his brow furrowed slightly: "This spell seems incomplete?"
