When Qian Chao was making the last arrangement for Zhang Yi, Shangguan Hong and others in the Land of Tianwei, Shangguan Hong did what he thought and took action against Zhang Yi and others again.
After discovering that Qian Chao and the others were missing in the morning, Shangguan Hong placed the blame on Zhang Yi and his group. She was very confident in her hidden whereabouts, and it was indeed difficult for others to discover her with her black fur. , so Shangguan Hong believed that the arrival of Zhang Yi and his group had alerted Qian Chao and the other five people, so he allowed the five people to sneak away quietly in the dead of night when no one was prepared.
If she could follow Qian Chao and the others, Shangguan Hong would never be left behind by them. She was very confident in this point. Unlike Zhang Yi and the others, they would be far behind. Once Qian Chao and the others took advantage of If she had escaped unprepared and had escaped for a long time, it would be difficult for Shangguan Hong to find her again. She had no way of knowing where those people were. Even if she could find them, she would be lucky. In this vast mountain, where would she go to find them? , so Shangguanhong was very angry.
Angry and hating these people, although he had killed two of them yesterday, Shangguanhong still felt that it was not enough. He couldn't find Qian Chao and the others anyway, so instead of sitting idle, he might as well give Lou Qing some more medicine. Look at the color and let her retreat quickly.
But just before taking action, Shangguanhong suddenly discovered that Zhang Yi and others were a little strange.
In her opinion, those people seemed annoyed by the escape of Qian Chao and the other five, but they did not appear to be very anxious.
The irritation was directed at the cunning of the five Qian Chao people, while the anxiety was probably due to the inability to determine the escape direction of the five Qian Chao people.
These people are just annoyed and don't appear anxious. Does that mean they have a way to determine the whereabouts of Qian Chao's five people?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Hong suppressed the urge to take action. If they had a way to know the whereabouts of Qian Chao and the five others, they would have no choice but to follow them again.
In fact, for Zhang Yi and his party, although Qian Chao and the five people escaped secretly, it was hateful, but it was nothing. It was just a little troublesome. In their opinion, it was just that Qian Chao and the five people had traveled some distance in advance. Just hurry up and catch up. As long as you know where the five Qian Chao people are going, catching up and finding those five people won't be a problem.
Of course, this is because these people did not know that Qian Chao and the other five left with the help of the formation.
Next, of course, we have to use He Suyou's victory-defying technique to confirm the whereabouts of the five people.
And when Shangguan Hong saw this scene, she was shocked and angry!
She had suffered losses three times. When she saw that damn guy, He Suyou, holding a portrait in his hand, Shangguanhong instinctively thought that the guy was going to harm her again. She almost He immediately wanted to escape and at the same time took out the Kun Youzhan.
With Kun Youzhan in hand, Guan Hong actually no longer worried about being hurt by that guy, so before escaping, she had the courage to look at it a few more times, and it was only after two more looks that she understood that the guy had nothing to do with it. Not against her.
Thick green smoke emerged from the guy's hand and gathered into a ball, and then went in one direction, not towards Shangguanhong. Seeing this, Shangguanhong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but since he was not dealing with Her, why did that guy do that?
Then Shangguan Hong discovered that after confirming the direction in which the smoke was drifting away, Zhang Yi and others seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then all of them headed towards the direction in which the smoke was drifting away as if they had agreed upon it.
At this point, Shangguan Hong vaguely understood what was going on.
Yesterday, Qian Chao and the five people had left Zhang Yi and the others far behind. Shangguanhong saw this with her own eyes. She didn't want to lose the Qian Chao and the five people, so she followed them all the way, thinking that they would be there. Zhang Yi and the others were completely thrown away, but in the evening, the group actually followed them again, which made her a little strange. She couldn't find them again after losing Qian Chao's whereabouts, otherwise Shangguan Hong Would rather stay and continue dealing with Lou Qingyao.
What I see now must be the reason why people like Zhang Yi were able to find this place all the way yesterday. Presumably that guy used the portrait of Qian Chao or Tang Ping when he cast that weird spell. And next, these people also I will definitely continue to use that guy's methods to continue looking for Qian Chao and those five people.
That must be it.
Well, Shangguan Hong was too lazy to follow Qian Chao and the other five people all the way. Instead, he followed Zhang Yi and the others. After yesterday's battle, he thought something would change, but he didn't expect it to return to its original state.
This means that the damn guy who made her suffer can't die yet. Shangguan Hong is also secretly glad that this guy saved his life yesterday due to a strange combination of circumstances. This guy is still useful, so let's keep him for the time being. Anyway, he I also planned to kill him last.
But as for the other people who helped Lou Qingyao, Shangguan Hong looked at the group of people coldly. It was better that their number was smaller, lest Qian Chao really found the Egg of Qingluan in the Broken Heart Valley. , there are so many of them when we take action, they will definitely get in the way!
…
After making up her mind, Shangguan Hong once again quietly followed Zhang Yi and others. However, she learned a lesson and learned from it. She no longer dared to get close to those people and could only follow them from a distance. .
As for how to deal with them, Shangguan Hong also had an idea.
In fact, it was a helpless move. Just when He Suyou used the victory-wearing technique to find the direction of Qian Chao and others, Shangguan Hong took out the Kun oil lamp in panic again. Although it was not used, he could spot the lamp at a glance. There was not much lamp oil left inside.
A lamp with lamp oil is a complete Kun oil lamp. The most precious thing is the lamp oil inside. Now there is only a shallow layer left inside. In fact, when Qiu Huahe gave this lamp to her, there was not much lamp oil, so Shangguanhong Cai cherished it especially. This Kunyou lamp was prepared by her to deal with Qian Chao and the others, especially Qian Chao. She was deeply afraid of Qian Chao's formation. Without this lamp, she would not have been able to deal with Qian Chao. Five people are sure to win.
Well, actually speaking of it, if Shangguan Hong stepped into Qian Chao's formation without lighting this lamp, then it is very likely that the lamp would eventually fall into Qian Chao's hands. You must know that Qian Chao's formation is different from what Woodham arranged. There is a big difference. In the former, when Shangguan Hong was trapped in Wudhan's formation, she could still light up the oil lamp in a hurry despite the consumption of her own spiritual energy. But if she had stepped into Qian Chao's formation, there would be no chance at all. At this opportunity, he will immediately lie down due to the loss of spiritual energy.
Of course, if Shangguan Hong lights the lamp in advance, under the protection of the light, she can walk freely in Qian Chao's formation as if walking on flat ground without any influence.
In short, Shangguan Hong could no longer bear to use the Kunyouzhan. She wanted to save it for the most critical moment, so she had to find another way to deal with Zhang Yi and the others.
And she had planned the method she was going to use, which was called "Spirit Confinement Technique".
While Shangguan Hong was following Zhang Yi and his party again, he saw from a distance more than once the scene of those people throwing out their talismans in a hurry to lure away the demonic birds that had discovered and swooped towards them. Seeing that scene, especially After seeing the powerful mid-level demon birds that were led away, Shangguan Hong decided to use the spirit arresting technique.
The so-called spirit-binding technique is a kind of spirit-controlling technique that is almost lost.
It has been said more than once before that among the monks of various sects, only sword cultivators can cross ranks to kill people. In fact, in the practice world earlier, spirit-controlling cultivators could also do this.
For example, it is impossible for a spirit-controlling monk with Qi refining skills to deal with a foundation-building monk today, but in the past, of course, it was possible to do it a long time ago.
To achieve this, two conditions are needed. The first is the spirit-binding technique, and the second is a suitable and powerful demon bird or beast. Shangguan Hong was the middle-level demon who saw attacking Zhang Yi's people. Only then did Qin come up with this method.
It is said that in the past, of course it was a long time ago, at least before the cross-sea battle, the spirit-binding technique could still be seen in the practice world. At that time, the boundaries between the monks of the various sects were not as clear-cut as they are today.
Taking the Wuling Sect as an example, the disciples of Jiuxuan in the sect, such as Qian Chao, will not raise and control spiritual birds and beasts like the disciples of Shuiyun Valley. The disciples of Shuiyun Valley, such as Tang Ping, do not know how to grow spiritual herbs and refine elixirs. The disciples of Qixia Mountain, such as Yanxuan, can neither refine spiritual weapons nor practice the art of controlling ice and controlling water in Shuiyun Valley. As for the physical and sword cultivation of Houtu Temple and Mu Xiufeng, Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian, for example, are not involved in the cultivation of the previous three sects. They only focus on their own methods or strengthening their bodies. Increase your strength, or put all your efforts into the sword in your hand.
This situation is not only true for the disciples, but also for the senior brothers who have built the foundation, and the elders who have formed elixirs. It is not just the Five Spirit Sect, but looking at the entire cultivation world, no matter how big or small the sect or numerous aristocratic families are, it is also true. That's right.
But it is said that this was not the case in the past. In the past, what monks learned was very mixed.
Let's take the spirit-controlling monks as an example. In the past, if a spirit-controlling monk wanted to perform the spirit-binding technique, the first thing he needed to do was to have a certain foundation in formations. Otherwise, it would be impossible to perform the spirit-binding technique.
In the past, the first step in using the spirit-binding technique was to set up formations to capture powerful demonic birds and beasts. It is worth mentioning here that if the spirit-controlling monks who refined Qi wanted to capture low-level demonic birds and beasts, If you don’t use formation techniques at all, you can just use them. Since formations are involved, you will naturally capture more powerful demonic birds or beasts. For example, a spirit-controlling monk who has practiced Qi refining will use formations to capture one. level monsters are trapped, and only then can methods be used to truly arrest the spirits.
The word "spirit" in the three words "spiritual restraint" has two meanings. The first refers to the demon bird and beast that is one level higher than the spirit control monk, and the second refers to this powerful demon bird and beast. All the power it possesses.
To cast the spirit-binding technique, one must first trap powerful demonic birds and beasts with formations, and then the spirit-controlling monks have the means to temporarily borrow all the power of the trapped demonic birds and demonic beasts, that is, to temporarily use this power to As long as the spell is cast, the monk himself will transform into the powerful demon bird or beast trapped by him or her. Of course, this is time limited, and then in this Within a period of time, the spirit-controlling monk can use the borrowed power and form to deal with his opponent. For example, a spirit-controlling cultivator traps a powerful mid-level demonic bird with a formation. After the spirit-trapping technique is cast, she will transform into the form of the intermediate-level demonic bird in a short period of time and possess all the characteristics of the demonic bird. Strength and power, and then use this power to deal with your opponent, even if the opponent is a foundation-building monk, it is still possible to defeat or even kill him.
Therefore, in the past, Yuling monks could also kill people beyond their ranks.
As time goes by, new spells are constantly being created within each sect, which are not only more and more numerous, but also more powerful and more detailed and cumbersome. These are all things that allow the disciples of this sect to practice. Accustomed. Human energy is always limited. There are so many spells in this sect that we can't learn and it's difficult to fully master them. How can we still have the energy left to dabble in the methods of other sects?
Because of this, the divisions between the various sects have become more and more detailed, and the monks have become more and more distinct in terms of magic methods. At the same time, during this process, many previous magic inheritances were gradually ignored or declined. Apart from other things, take Jiu Xuan as an example. The inheritance of Jiu Xuan is the Five Elements Spells, the Art of Refining Weapons, the Art of Talisman and the Art of Formation. Nowadays, in Jiu Xuan, except for the prosperity of Five Elements Spells and the Art of Refining Weapons, the remaining Whether it is the talisman technique or the formation technique, they are all in the hands of a few famous elders and cannot be taught except by their disciples. This has also resulted in the number of people practicing the talisman technique and formation technique gradually becoming less and less. . Someone like Qian Chao is definitely an outlier. He can initially master some talismans and formations through his own efforts. But even Qian Chao only really learned the talismans and formations after meeting Mr. Zhuang. The art of law.
Qian Chao is like this, let alone Shangguan Hong. Generally speaking, Shangguan Hong is scheming, but his scheming is by no means as smart as Qian Chao. Secondly, Shangguan Hong's master Qiu Huahe also knows nothing about the art of fighting. Where can Shangguanhong go to learn?
However, the magic methods will continue to change in the process of their inheritance.
Take the spirit-binding technique, for example. It is true that because of the restriction of having to master the formation technique first, very few people use it and it is close to being lost. However, there are always people who can improve it and jump over the threshold of the formation technique. It was Qiu Huahe and Fairy Guhuo's master who transformed the spiritual arts, Qiu Long, a powerful monk at the level of Nascent Soul on Yuhu Mountain.
Patriarch Qiu felt that the spirit-binding technique could be passed on. Since most of today's spirit-controlling monks were not familiar with formation techniques, why not skip it? The role of the formation is nothing more than to capture the demonic birds and beasts that are one level higher than themselves, and then use their methods on them. In this case, if there is another way to catch the powerful demon bird and beast and let the spirit control monks use their methods on it obediently, then there will be no need for formation techniques.
It was this Patriarch Qiu who stripped away the formations from the spirit-binding technique and replaced them with something called "spirit bait."
To put it simply, the so-called spirit bait can be regarded as a magical drug used in black shops in the world to rob wealthy merchants in order to steal their goods.
It's just that the production of this spirit bait is quite difficult, but once it is made, it has an extremely strong attraction to demonic birds and beasts.
Do you still remember the confusing light candle that Shangguan Hong used to deal with Zhang Yi and others and attract a large group of mid-level monsters? The spirit baits are somewhat similar to them, and even a few of them are made from the same materials. As long as the prepared spirit baits are swallowed by monsters and beasts, after a short time, the bones will be soft and the body will be soft, unable to move, and no one can move. It's the same effect as being hit by a formation.
That is to say, after swallowing the spirit bait, when the powerful demonic bird and beast falls, the spirit-controlling monk can step forward and perform the spirit-trapping technique.
In Shangguan Hong's view, although Zhang Yi and his group were large in number, they were unable to resist the middle-level demonic birds and beasts in this dangerous forbidden area. They could only rely on that weird talisman to protect themselves. It was also because of the intellect of those monsters and beasts that they were able to save themselves from danger many times. If I had used the spirit-binding technique, with the strength of these mid-level monsters and monsters, there would be absolutely no problem in making them suffer. of.
At least Shangguan Hong couldn't be led away by their talismans.
