Section 571: Coercion
"He? Is it still a soul? He was assigned by the Ghost King to investigate your hunting team with me, and he was supposed to be the 'coercion' used by the Ghost King to spy on me. After Zhang Su asked, Qiu Hongshu glanced at the mirror coffin beside him, looked at Shang Xi's soul who was speechless but still struggling, shook his head indifferently, and replied guessingly, as if he was not familiar with Shang Xi's identity.
"'Coercion'? What is that? I've heard a little bit about the 'Outer Order' and the 'Renwangshe', but as for what this 'coercer' is, I don't know very well, Mr. Qiu, can you tell us? After Qiu Hongshu guessed, Zheng Pu lowered his eyes and rubbed his chin, as if he was retrieving spiritual sense, trying to recall something, but after only a moment, he raised his eyebrows again in confusion, and asked Qiu Hongshu, obviously not recalling the relevant content in the spiritual sense.
"Anyway, I can't live if I fall into your hands, why should I tell you? I've said enough just now, as a traitor to the Soul Master Realm, you just let me go on my way, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life like a ghost prisoner in this mirror coffin. Hearing Zheng Pu's question, Qiu Hongshu put away his previous wild and wanton appearance, calmed down again, and did not continue to break free from the shackles of the mirror coffin, but just raised his eyes to look at the chandelier on the roof of the secret room, shook his head, as if he had lost the faith in life, and responded.
"You are plotting with ghosts, this is something that is not allowed to happen in the entire Soul Master Realm, Shanhaiwu naturally wants to deal with you, but do you think that the way to deal with you is just to make your soul disappear? You take your sins too lightly, don't you? Did you know that there is a criminal law against the soul called 'eternal dreams'? If you don't tell me what you know, I can apply to the owners for the Eternal Dream Punishment to punish you. After Qiu Hongshu responded, Zheng Pu was not surprised by Qiu Hongshu's attitude, raised his eyes to look at Qiu Hongshu, and said indifferently, but in this indifference, people can feel a chilling yin.
"Eternal dreams? That's the punishment of Shanhaiwu to deal with the most evil, although I did something to betray Shanhaiwu, but I haven't really brought multiple losses to Shanhaiwu, why should you use the punishment of eternal dreams against me? You are indiscriminately punishing the capital, you are also committing a crime, and the Soul Master Realm will not allow you to do this kind of thing......" After Zheng Pu finished speaking, Qiu Hongshu seemed to know what the punishment of Eternal Dream was, his eyes showed an extremely frightened look, and he exclaimed loudly at Zheng Pu, and the soul body struggled again, wanting to break free from the soul silk wrapped around the soul and break free from the shackles of the mirror coffin.
"If the punishment of eternal dreams is performed on people who are external, there will be soul masters who stand up and speak, but you Qiu Hongshu is still our own person in the mountain and sea house in name, we will use it on you, even if some people will think it is not suitable, but they will not say anything about our mountain and sea house for such a living person, if you tell the truth what we want to know today, it is estimated that everyone Zheng will not use the punishment of the eternal dream, you better watch and do it yourself." After Qiu Hongshu struggled, Yang Yuan stood aside and said coldly to Qiu Hongshu, there was no trace of pity in his eyes, and it was like an ice cellar
Cold.
"What is this eternal dream punishment? Although I have heard of some punishments for souls, it is the first time I have heard of such a thing as the punishment of eternal dreams......" After Yang Yuan finished threatening Qiu Hongshu, Pu Zitong stood behind everyone, looked around at everyone with some puzzlement, and asked.
"The punishment of eternal dreams is a special punishment that punishes the spiritual consciousness of the sinner, which can only be authorized by the owner of the mountain and sea house, and is performed through the 'mirage' horcrux of the mountain and sea house, which is said to make the spiritual consciousness of the punished person produce a unique hallucination, and encounter all kinds of pain in the illusion, and live like a year. After Pu Zitong opened his mouth to ask, Guan Duo approached Pu Zitong and explained briefly to Pu Zitong, while explaining, he showed a frightened expression, and looked like a tiger.
"Mirage? Can you hypnotize Horcruxes? Isn't it overkill that such a powerful Horcrux is only used as a torture tool? After listening to Guan Duo's explanation, Zhang Su frowned and asked as if he was a little puzzled.
"The mirage is an ancient horcrux made of jade beads, wave shell, the size of a palm, at the beginning of the establishment of the mountain and sea house, through the hands of each owner of the continuous circulation, the mirage to create the soul power illusion of the ability to create a very strong ability, so that the soul can hardly find the possibility of leaving after entering it, can only withstand the illusion from the spiritual consciousness to bring the soul to the soul, but its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, it is difficult to grasp the soul master with the ability to move, so most of the time it is used by the owners of the workshop on punishment, rarely used to fight against people, So it's not overkill. After Zhang Su asked, Zheng Pu seemed to know a lot about mirage, and continued to explain to Zhang Su.
"I see, it turned out to be an ancient horcrux that was powerful but not soulful......" After Zheng Pu explained, Zhang Su had a specific concept of the so-called mirage, and suddenly said.
"Don't, I don't want to enter the eternal dream, don't use that kind of thing to me, I said, I will tell you everything I know, you just let me die happily, don't use the eternal dream punishment on me, I don't want the spiritual consciousness to be confused into the appearance of that person who is not a human or a ghost......" When Zhang Su was suddenly, Qiu Hongshu seemed to become even more shocked, and opened his mouth to beg Zheng Pu for mercy.
"Okay, you have to answer the questions I ask you next, if you dare to resist again, or if you have a trace of concealment, I will immediately suspend your interrogation and apply directly to the owner to torture you, you are not young, and your qualifications in the Soul Master Realm and the Mountain and Sea House are also old, you should know some about my Zheng Pu, and know my Zheng Pu's style of acting, right?" I've always been a man of my word, and I won't go around in circles with you anymore, so you'd better not play tricks in front of me again. Seeing Qiu Hongshu begging for mercy, Zheng Pu still looked at Qiu Hongshu coldly, and warned again, as if he had lost his patience.
"Okay, I'll answer as much as I can, but if some questions involve the soul contract I signed with the ghost king, then there is nothing I can do, because according to the soul contract, once I say those things, my spiritual sense will be automatically destroyed, and I think you need me to provide information
But you don't want to see my soul go stupid right away, do you? After Zheng Pu finished warning, Qiu Hongshu nodded, but also reminded.
"Okay, then you can pick up the information you can say first, if the information you said is useless to us, then it will be meaningless for you to keep this soul, if the information you say can be of some help to us to find the Nine Palaces Yama, I will let your soul exist for a while longer, and take a few more looks at this beautiful world......" After Qiu Hongshu reminded, Zheng Pu pondered for a while, and finally agreed, he obviously still wanted to keep Qiu Hongshu's soul to survey the information, and didn't want to destroy Qiu Hongshu's soul directly, for fear of causing a complete interruption of the clues.
"In that case, then I'll tell you something I can say, I remember that Zheng asked me about the 'coercion', right? This matter is actually not a secret, the 'coercion' is some soul masters who are coerced by the Nine Palaces Yama, if they do not serve the Nine Palaces Yama, then the Nine Palaces Yama will completely destroy them, the source of this coercion may come from the soul master himself, or from the soul master's family and relatives, or from the soul master's wife and children, in short, there are all kinds of coercive means to prompt some soul masters to work for it, just like those who have a handle in the hands of others, they can only be coerced by others and cannot help themselves. Qiu Hongshu saw that Zheng Pu agreed, seemed to see the dawn of hope, his expression was a little calmer, and he opened his mouth to explain to Zheng Pu, answering the questions raised by Zheng Pu forward.
"So that's the case, so in this way, Shang Xi Soul was forced to obey the command of the Nine Palaces Yama, and it is really a little pitiful, so do you know why Shang Xi Soul became a coercion? What did he use to coerce him by the Nine Palaces Yama? After Qiu Hongshu finished speaking, Zheng Pu glanced at Shang Xi's soul in the mirror coffin next to him, his eyes showed a trace of pity, frowned, and asked.
"I don't know, I don't know how Shang Xiaoyou became a coerc, before choosing to enter the hunting team, I didn't even see Shang Xiaoyou, it was only four days ago that I learned Shang Xiaoyou's identity and appearance in a secret meeting, as for Shang Xiaoyou was coerced by the ghost king, I heard that it seems that the souls of his parents were detained in a place called 'Ten Thousand Cave Mountain', as for what place it is, it is estimated that only the ghost king knows, and I have no permission to know." After Zheng Pu asked questions, Qiu Hongshu did not ask for a big deal, and simply explained to Zheng Pu, informing him of the time for the alliance with the monk Xi Soul.
"The souls of Shang Xi's parents are detained? No wonder Shang Xi Soul will easily comply, to threaten each other, this is the soul and ghost to harm people's tricks, as long as the soul master is still concerned in the world, it is difficult to avoid this kind of human relationship, but it is not strange that Shang Xiaoyou will do such a betrayal thing...... although I don't know where the 'Ten Thousand Caves Mountain' is, but you are in the ghost king's mediation with Shang Xi soul Xiaoyou to form an alliance and rebel, you should have seen the true face of the ghost king, say, who is the real body of the ghost king? Or tell me what it looks like! Knowing that Shang Xi's soul was coerced, Zheng Pu's face looked a little better, and he said with pity, and generally asked Qiu Hongshu to know who the so-called 'ghost king' was.
"It's true that the ghost king found my monk Xi Soul, but I really haven't seen the face of the ghost king, I and the ghost king signed a contract without knowing each other, and they are connected to each other through the soul power contract in the body, and the communication of the contract has always been one-way, that is, the ghost king can give me orders, but I can't take the initiative to contact the ghost king, so I don't know who the ghost king is, just follow its instructions to complete the task and collect returns, and there is no positive intersection." Zheng Pu's question made Qiu Hongshu difficult, Qiu Hongshu thought about it, and finally explained, with an aggrieved expression on his face.
