The speaker was Zhu Mao. After noticing that everyone was looking at him in surprise, Zhu Mao took a few steps forward and said:
"The spell that Shangguan Hong uses to transform into a mid-level demon bird is called spirit-binding. It is a spell that is almost lost. Well, Miss Lou and Miss Ni must have heard of it. This kind of spell requires the casting of a spell. The Yuling monks have a certain foundation in the formation of formations, so it is gradually lost."
After hearing this, Ni Qiuyi said calmly:
"I am not a pure spirit-controlling monk, I just raised a few bugs. Compared with Brother Zhu and Miss Lou, I am much worse. This is the first time I have heard of this spirit-controlling technique."
Ni Qiuyi is good at using poison, and her family's inheritance is also about using poison. At the same time, she is also a spirit control monk, but all she raises are highly poisonous monster insects. The reason why she does this is to cooperate with her poisoning technique, so she said this, This is not because she is modest. She is much inferior to the orthodox spirit control technique compared to Zhu Cloak and Lou Qingyao.
After hearing Zhu Yan's words, Lou Qingyao was stunned for a moment, and then fell into thinking. At this time, after listening to Ni Qiuyi's words, everyone focused their eyes on Lou Qingyao, listening to what she would say. After a moment , Lou Qingyao nodded slowly and said:
"The elders in my family have indeed talked about this kind of magic before. It is true that it is about to be lost, and almost no one uses it anymore. The elders in my family don't know this magic, so they just told me briefly, that's all. It happened many years ago. If Brother Zhu hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. It seems that the caster does need to master the formation, but if that is the case, is it possible that Shangguan Hong..."
Lou Qingyao meant that Shangguan Hong might know some formation techniques.
"No," Zhu Yan continued, "not to mention Shangguan Hong, there are not many people in the entire Wuling Sect who are proficient in formations. Her master Qiu Huahe does have deep attainments in the art of controlling spirits, but I It is estimated that this senior Qiu also knows nothing about battle methods."
"Then why can Shangguan Hong cast such a spell?" Lou Qingyao asked in confusion.
Zhu Yan sighed when he heard this, looked at Zong Xi, and then said:
"Well, I was once a disciple of the Five Spirits. I violated the rules of the sect in my early years. If it weren't for my master's protection, I would have died. Although I survived by luck, I was expelled from the sect. My mentor is very knowledgeable. , I once told our brothers that the Yuling Sect has a founder in Yuhu Mountain named Qiu Long, who is Qiu Huahe’s father and the master of Fairy Guhuo. This spirit-binding technique is on the verge of being lost. , but it has not been cut off. It is precisely because the Patriarch Qiulong improved it so that the spell no longer requires any formation techniques, which is very magical. But it is a pity that the Patriarch Qiulong did not This spell spread, and it was probably only taught to his son Qiu Huahe. Therefore, it is not surprising that Shangguan Hong can perform the spirit-binding technique, but what method is used to replace the formation technique when performing the spirit-binding technique? , I still don’t know.”
The reason why Zhu Yan took a look at Zong Xi before speaking was because his former master was one of Zong Xi's elders.
Zhu Yan has always been very low-key among the people who were invited. Most of the time, he keeps to himself and is silent. Therefore, he is a figure with little sense of presence, whether it was when everyone was waiting in Ruixuan Town or later. They entered Heartbreak Valley together. He was always reticent and rarely expressed his opinions. He just followed. But the more people like this, the clearer their purpose. Zhu Yan was invited by Zong Xi's letter. He came here. The only purpose of this is that Zong Xi promised in the letter that as long as he is willing to help, Zong Xi will definitely help him return to the Five Spirits Sect.
The family that Zhu Yi came from was not powerful, so he had a strong desire to return to the Five Spirits Sect. In addition, Zong Xi was very conclusive in what he said in the letter, so he came without hesitation. But after he came back, he knew that what Zong Xi wanted to do would definitely offend other people in the sect. Even if he could succeed, there would be some trouble in the future, so he did not want to cause more trouble to himself. This is why he always The reason for keeping a low profile was also the reason why he strongly opposed Wei Gelin when he wanted to secretly enter the Five Spirit Sect to take revenge. Moreover, during this period of time, he discovered that Mr. Zong was very infatuated with Lou Qingyao and obeyed his advice. Lou Qingyao was a very scheming woman at first glance. In Zhu Yan's opinion, Mr. Zong was probably being raped this time. He took advantage of it, but he couldn't say it clearly. In the past few days in Broken Heart Valley, he still felt that there might be more troubles on the road under Lou Qingyao's instigation. He was worried about this, and the result was indeed what he expected. Unexpectedly, within a few days of entering Broken Heart Valley, they got into trouble with Shangguan Hong.
This was different from the original plan. You must know that originally all they wanted to do was compete with Tang Ping and others for one thing, but now Shangguan Hong was entangled with them as if they would not stop. Zhu Yue had never had any dealings with Shangguan Hong, but he must have known something about Shangguan Hong. He knew that this woman was a ruthless character and could not be easily provoked. Therefore, when dealing with Shangguan Hong, he was only perfunctory and did not try his best. According to Zhu Yan's idea, there is no need for him to offend Shangguan Hong too much. If he can return to Wuling Sect as he wishes, he will have many more opportunities to meet and deal with Shangguan Hong in the future. Even if he can't go back, his family will not The Shangguan family where Shangguan Hong was born is so powerful that there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble for his family.
But now it's different. He Suyou just said that if all these people are persuaded by him to leave Broken Heart Valley and the Five Spirits Sect, then Zhu Yuan's plan to return to the Five Spirits Sect will be in vain. If he gives up halfway like this, Zong Xiang will definitely not help him in the future, so Zhu Yan, who has always been low-key, has to stand up and speak. In fact, he is doing this for himself, to give himself a chance.
Now that Zhu Yan had told the origin of Shangguan Hong's spell, it still could not dispel everyone's fear of Shangguan Hong. He Suyou saw that Zhu Yan knew more, but did not give any method on how to deal with Shangguan Hong, so He Suyou He immediately asked:
"Brother Zhu, since you know the spirit-binding technique, when Shangguan Hong deals with us like this again, how should we crack it and how should we deal with her?"
Zhu Mao sighed and said:
"If Shangguan Hong uses the spirit-binding technique, we won't be able to break it..."
Before Zhu Yan could finish speaking, he was immediately interrupted by He Suyou, who said hurriedly:
"Yes, Brother Zhu, you also said that if he uses the spirit-binding technique, it will be impossible for us to deal with her. Wouldn't it be another situation where we are at the mercy of others? That's why Mr. Zhang just suggested that we leave here. "
Zhang Yi's face didn't change much after hearing this, but he was very dissatisfied with He Suyou in his heart. He was trying to provoke these people instead of trying to persuade them to leave. Unexpectedly, He Suyou was still a piece of meat. , the temperament of climbing along the pole.
After hearing He Suyou's words, Zhu Yuan was not in a hurry, but smiled softly, and then said slowly:
"Brother He, maybe you haven't realized it yet. If we really follow what Mr. Zhang just said and we leave this Broken Heart Valley now, this is actually Shangguan Hong's plan. All of us here will count one by one. They can all leave safely, but only Brother He, if you leave, it will probably be very difficult, even... to put it bluntly... you won't be able to get out of this Heartbreak Valley at all."
He Suyou was shocked when he heard this. He panicked and thought it was Zhu Yan who was threatening him. He stammered and asked sharply in anger:
"You...you want...what do you mean?"
Zhu Yuan was first stunned by He Suyou's reaction, then smiled and said:
"Brother He, don't get me wrong. We were all invited to help by Mr. Zong and Mr. Zhang. We are partners in the Heartbreak Valley. Naturally, I will not have any ideas about Brother He. But did Brother He really not notice?"
"Did you notice anything?" He Suyou asked.
"Brother He, you were targeted by Shangguan Hong and you didn't know it? Haha." Zhu Yan still didn't say anything.
"Why?" He Suyou could vaguely understand in his heart, but his thoughts were definitely not as serious as Zhu Yan said, so the more he asked, the sharper his voice became.
Zhu Yan stretched out two fingers towards He Suyou and said:
"Just now, Shangguan Hong had two chances to take Brother He's life, but she didn't. Although there was a lot of chaos at the time, I saw it all. When the demon bird transformed by Shangguan Hong swooped down for the first time, , it was aimed at Miss Lou, but fortunately she also knew that Miss Lou could not be touched, so she turned around and went straight to Brother He halfway, right?"
"Okay...it seems like this."
"Of course it is. At that time, I thought that Brother He would not be able to escape this disaster, and Brother He also knew this, so Brother He screamed out at that time, haha, but at the moment when she could kill Brother He, she But he deliberately let Brother He go and passed over his head. Then, the unlucky one was brother Zhou Kao who was behind Brother He. He died miserably. Brother He, think about it now, if Shangguan Hong was really If I want to kill you, can you still stand here?"
Having said this, the people present began to recall the previous scene. Although they all ran away for their lives, it was necessary to observe the opponent's movements. Therefore, not only Zhu Yan, but also others saw this scene, so when Zhu Yan said After that, someone started to chime in.
"Yes, I also meant Brother He to do something bad at the time, but I didn't expect that it was Zhou Kao who died in the end."
"Well, I saw it too. I thought Brother He was lucky enough to escape that disaster. It turned out that Shangguan Hong did it on purpose."
He Suyou immediately asked:
"Why did she do that?"
Zhu Yanze did not answer, but continued:
"When Shangguan Hong swooped down from the sky for the second time, the character he took was also your brother He. Is that correct? But at the end, she let you go again and took Lian Zeng away. In the end, He tore his body into pieces in the air, alas. Brother He, Shangguan Hong let you go twice, but at first he attacked you aggressively. Don't you know the reason for this by now? ?”
He Suyou's head was already dripping with sweat. He wiped it with his sleeves and asked eagerly:
"Why?"
Zhu Yan still did not answer directly, but turned to Zhang Yi and asked:
"Mr. Zhang, what kind of person is Shangguan Hong? Please tell me in more detail."
Zhang Yi muttered:
"This woman is narrow-minded and will retaliate, but she is also very scheming. People who are hated by her and are of no use to her will often die quickly; people who are hated by her and she can't take action for a while, she will wait quietly. Opportunities; and those who she deeply hates but are temporarily useful to her will slowly torture them to death after they lose their use value; in the end, those who are useless to her but are hated by her, she will When you have an absolute advantage, you will probably play a good game of cat-and-mouse, tossing the opponent to the point of death before giving him a break."
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he immediately got Jing Lu's approval.
This was Zhang Yi's summary of Shangguan Hong. Everyone listened very attentively. Not only He Suyou but also Lou Qingyao also listened to it word by word.
He Suyou's face looked ugly, but when Zhu Yuan saw Zhang Yi finished speaking, he smiled and said:
"Mr. Zhang's evaluation of Shangguan Hong is very fair. Haha, among us, the person Shangguan Hong probably wants to kill the most is Miss Lou, but she doesn't have the guts, because that will bring unbearable consequences to her. So she held back. She couldn't touch Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zong, and Mr. Jing, because the consequences were equally serious. As for us, she had no scruples, but among us, only you, brother He, had ever You have dealt with Shangguan Hong several times. You might as well count it out in detail. The first time you used various methods to find her, forcing her to run away immediately. I am afraid that she has hated you, Brother He, since then. The second time you Then he resorted to tricks to make her run away in a rage. Well, that must have been a bad feeling. The next time was when we teamed up to deal with her. At that time, Shangguan Hong came to kill your brother He, right? That night was exactly what happened. Brother He used him as bait to lure Shangguan Hong into ending the trap, and then she harassed us twice."
He Suyou listened and realized that what Zhu Yan said a few times was largely because he deliberately wanted to show off his skills in front of others, but he did not expect to cause such a big trouble for himself. Thinking of this, He Suyou regretted it.
Zhu Yanze continued:
"Brother He, why didn't she kill you when she killed Zhai Ti and Zhang Li? In my opinion, she should have left you at the end, tortured you well and then got rid of you. In this heartbroken valley, another powerful and dangerous person wants to take your life, but has been reluctant to take action. Are you always vigilant, nervous, and frightened? This is actually her torture to you. When she thinks she has tortured you enough, she will take action against you, and she will not let you have a happy ending, it will definitely be the same as what happened to Brother Zhang Li!"
When he heard this, He Suyou trembled visibly. He could clearly see the tragic situation before Zhang Li's death. If he would have such an ending, it would be better to end it on his own in advance.
"As for why Shangguan Hong let you go twice today, it's most likely that Shangguan Hong saw it when you cast a spell to find the direction of Tang Ping's people in the morning. She must have understood it. We still have After she has lost all traces of Tang Ping and those people, only you can find out the direction of those people. That means you are also a very useful person not only to us, but also to Shangguan Hong, because even though Shangguan Hong is strong, he is still very useful. She can't find Tang Ping and the others on her own. So no matter what, she will definitely keep you. This is why we can all leave safely, but you, Brother He, can't. If this is the case, in What will happen after Brother He helps her find Tang Ping and those people? It’s up to Brother He to guess. Well, this is the only reason why Shangguan Hong will let you go. Otherwise, Shangguan Hong will let Brother He go for no reason. , can kill but does not kill, and Brother He is encouraging everyone to leave here at this time, then it can only be said that Brother He is a spy placed here by Shangguan Hong, in order to make Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zong fail in what they want to do. , Haha, what is the reason, Brother He, tell yourself?"
When everyone looked at He Suyou again, they found that this guy's face was covered with sweat, his eyes were straight, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably. He was obviously scared to death!
