This is the first time that the term "forbidden puppet technique" has appeared. This kind of technique has never appeared in the Great Qin Dynasty.
There was a wave of enthusiasm in the Qin Dynasty before, and this forbidden technique was probably listed as one of the famous cases of strangulation along with those techniques for causing chaos.
This was not a big deal. The people were most against bringing disaster to the Great Qin State and spreading rumors to confuse the people. Therefore, they also strangled these witches and other such people. Even the Grand Tutor, seeing this, secretly thought that the Great Qin State might not survive for long.
But they had never expected that once Zhao Xin arrived, the gods and demons would retreat, and the evil spirit that had been lingering around the late emperor also dissipated. The group of physiognomists breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
But things are different now. What we encounter now are not intangible gods and ghosts, but puppets.
"really?"
"When has this prince ever lied to anyone? That woman had a hideous face, and even her scarf couldn't hide her bleak expression."
Nowadays, there are three types of puppetry, each with its own unique characteristics. Most of these three puppetry techniques are detrimental to one's virtue, and are more likely to lead to death than a Heavenly Master who reveals Heaven's secrets.
Puppetry is now divided into three categories.
Human puppet, ghost puppet, and poison puppet.
The three are obvious. The one that raises dead people is called a human puppet, and the ghost puppet is one that raises souls and turns them into powerful ghosts.
The most insidious one is the Gu puppet.
The Gu puppets need to be fed by living people to absorb Yang energy, and the person who is infected by the Gu insect will become increasingly weak, and then Yin energy will surround the whole body. Moreover, living dead like this are the most likely to attract ghosts!
The fate of a Gu puppet is most likely to be thrown by the operator into a place with a strong ghost aura to be eaten by ghosts. After the puppet dies, it will be filled with ghost aura.
The operator was waiting for this moment. He directly chose a medium to pretend to be a ghost puppet, and then cast a spell to turn the ghost puppet into his own.
Also commonly known as raising ghosts.
And the mutilated corpse can also become food for the ghost, which means that the legendary "I eat myself" can be realized.
It is indeed very cruel, isn't it? But it is the survival of the fittest. For things like this, we can only say that the puppet is asking for trouble.
"What's the meaning?"
Why did he become more and more gritting his teeth as he spoke towards the end? It felt like Qi Peng had been through something.
"The contract between this puppet and the operator is usually signed by willingly extinguishing the lights on the puppet's body. This person has lights on his forehead and shoulders. If he extinguishes them all, not only the ghost, but even the weakest person will be defeated."
Commonly known as general fatigue.
“Why not just turn off the lights passively?”
"That...that was also because they were infused with the poisonous insect while engaging in adultery."
"That's a woman. Do you mean that a man infected with the Gu could also transmit it to that woman?"
Qi Peng has never studied this specifically, so how would he know?
"So, tell me exactly what you want to say. I'm a little exhausted right now."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there's a puppeteer here, and he's quite powerful. If you don't believe me, you can ask an astrologer to come and survey the area."
Isn't it a sin to call an astrologer in the middle of the night?
While they were chatting, they heard a series of chittering sounds outside the door, and then the wooden door was opened silently.
Snap——
It was the sound of branches breaking.
The cold wind rushed into the room, making the two people inside shiver. The soldiers outside saw that the man outside also lowered his head.
"Your Majesty, is the person beside you haunted by a ghost?"
Yitai followed Mr. Zhuge and the other man into the room, his gaze fixed on Qi Peng. Zhao Xin raised his teacup and smiled calmly, then ignored the incident.
"Your Majesty, I have said that this man is indeed contaminated with some ghost energy. As for where this ghost energy came from, it is likely that he collided with something outside. Your Majesty, you must think carefully before drinking this tea."
"After all, if this thing were to collide with the Supreme Being, I'm afraid it would be a bad ending..."
"Why are you, a minister, joining in the fun? I am the Crown Prince of Dongwu. Although I have nothing to do with your country, your Majesty has always valued friendship and loyalty. Not only you, but also your ancestors!"
"And now that this prince has come, how can you say that you were attacked by someone? Do you take this prince seriously?"
When Zhao Xin heard this, he put down the teapot with a snap.
This cup of tea was also left on the table to cool down without being touched.
Zhao Xin didn't drink it, and Qi Peng thought that he looked down on him, so he picked up the pot and poured some into the cup and wanted to pour it into his mouth.
The man immediately grabbed the feather fan from Zhuge's hand and threw it over, knocking over the cup. Although Qi Peng didn't drink the water, it still soaked his shoes.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you take charge of these people under your command? This prince at least came from the Eastern Palace, and his subordinates hold immense power. Besides, they've been bullied like this, and as a childhood friend, I shouldn't..."
“…”
"Now that I've figured out what's wrong, could it be that your usually discerning eyes can't see what's so strange about this cup of tea? Or maybe you're not Qi Peng at all, and you've been trying to trick me into drinking this cup of tea from the beginning."
Qi Peng wanted to speak but remained silent for a moment.
Then, he raised the corner of his lips indifferently and overturned the table. His expression was dull and he looked nothing like he was before. Instead, he looked like he was possessed.
Either he was possessed or someone used magic to transform him into Qi Peng's appearance to deceive Zhao Xin.
"Where can you escape, you evil creature? If you're capable of impersonating the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, why don't you take off your makeup and let us see your true self? I've noticed something's wrong with you from the beginning, and you still want to seduce me into drinking this cup of tea? Dream on!"
"this…"
"What's wrong? I am Qi Peng, and that Qi Peng is me!"
"Also, why is Your Majesty so angry now? Could it be that you have something against this Crown Prince?"
Zhao Xin didn't care and just gave that guy a look.
The lady had been keeping an eye on him since he entered the palace, and when she saw that he was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Wu, she felt something was amiss.
When he went out of the palace to purchase goods, he did see Qi Peng, but at that time Qi Peng was wandering around the street with several servants, and it was obvious that he had no intention of entering the palace.
Besides, Dongwu and the countries surrounding Daqin are not good at playing puppets.
The two of them had been waiting outside for a long time, and this person was able to introduce the poisonous insect and puppetry in detail without any error.
This kind of conversation was totally not what someone who had just been in the field for a few years could do. He must have been in this field for at least several decades, so the two of them did not hide it and immediately came in and surrounded him.
So that he won't have any chance to harm Your Majesty.
