The third painting is interesting.

Unlike the first two paintings, where there are only beautiful women and young beggars, in the third painting, there are many people, men and women, old and young, rich and poor, they are walking or sitting, in completely different environments, but judging from the style of the houses and buildings in the painting, these people are still residents of the city of Salo, the most special of which is an old man in the middle, who kneels on a bamboo mat, and there is a teapot and two teacups on the small red sandalwood table in front of him, and there is a faint heat rising in the cups.

The old man had wide eyebrows and big eyes, was wearing a cyan robe, his long snow-white hair was pulled into a bun at the back of his head, and his long white beard hung down to his chest.

"The old man in the middle is one of the ten great cultivators behind Shaluo City, named Lu Ou, when the Nangong clan exchanged for the ten cultivators to give up the dominance of Shaluo City, it was this Lu Ou who was the master, he was a cultivator of the Tianyuan Realm, and he was good at using a secret technique called silk drawing, which can erode a person's divine consciousness and turn it into a puppet under his control, even people who are extremely close to this puppet are difficult to see that he is different from usual, whether it is father and son, Husband and wife are still close friends, and they can't detect the slightest change in this puppet, this kind of secret technique is difficult to cultivate, and this Lu Ou is the best among them. ”

"The others are his puppets?" Su Qi looked at these one by one, except for Lu Ou, who had a different temperament, everyone else looked like ordinary people, although some were extravagant, some were honest and honest, but none of them had that feeling of full aura.

Emperor Yun nodded, "Actually, the number of his puppets should be far more than that, the cultivators of the Tianyuan Realm are enough to control five cultivators of the God Building Realm or twenty Void Ming Realm at the same time when using the Silk Drawing, as for the ordinary people of the Silk Drawing, it is also a trivial matter to control a hundred people in an instant." ”

This secret technique is very similar to a forbidden technique called soul control in Nanling.

Su Qi thought for a while, "So the fall of Shaluo City to Darong is also a ploy of Heavenly Court?"

"This can make the war the most intense, after the destruction of Shaluo City, Da Rong used this as an excuse to denounce the Great Jin, and indeed won over a lot of free city-states near the Great Jin, they are very worried that if the ambitions of the Great Jin continue to swell, they will inevitably be annexed by the Great Jin, so many cities have allied with the Great Rong and joined the side against the Great Jin, turning this war into a war that only the Chaoyun Empire is out of the way for the time being. ”

Su Qi sighed with emotion, "This Lu Ou looks like a lone wanderer, such a person would even be connected with Heavenly Court, at that time, Heavenly Court's infiltration of the human race had reached such a degree?"

"The so-called betrayal is nothing more than fame, power, or greed for life and fear of death, for cultivators, the temptation to become stronger and immortal is difficult to resist," Emperor Yun smiled mockingly, Heavenly Court casually throws out some powerful exercises and magic weapons, which is enough to lure a weak cultivator, and there is a person like Jixiu in command, these dark sons of Heavenly Court are well hidden in the human race, rarely take action in person, and more choose to borrow a knife to kill, like Lu Ou, his real body is hidden in the blessed land of the cave, but through his own puppets in Shaluo City, Lu Ou has controlled a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles in Shaluo City, and some of the spies of the Great Jin Dynasty were also put into the city by him, the city lord of Shaluo City has some understanding of this, although he does not know the real reason, but he is very afraid of Lu Ou, even in the face of danger to his life, he did not dare to disobey Lu Ou's order, because he understood that with Lu Ou's means, even the Holy Alliance could not protect him. ”

"No wonder. Su Qi remembered Xue Yun on the small building, she first threw out the reward of the Great Jin Dynasty, and then threatened with her life, but even so, the city lord still did not give in.

"You have to be careful. Emperor Yun brushed away the picture in the sky, turned around, and whispered to Su Qi.

Su Qi was silent for a long time, "Be careful with Heavenly Court?"

"No, be careful of these betrayers. Emperor Yun patted Su Qi's shoulder lightly, his palm was slender and warm, "There should also be people in the Pure Yuan Realm, and in a war, one traitor will cause far more harm than ten enemies. ”

Su Qi was startled, but he relaxed, after learning what happened back then, he had already guessed this matter, maybe which human race sect was the lackey of the heavenly court who survived the war ten thousand years ago, and even further, there may be traitors among the demon clan, after all, there is already a big clan in the heavenly court who was born in the demon clan.

"Speaking of which, I failed this trial, didn't I?" Su Qi shrugged, "I thought I was going to die." ”

"Who said this trial is over?" said Emperor Yun smiled, looking a little evil-hearted.

"Huh?" Su Qi raised his eyebrows, "I thought Shaluo City was ......"

"That's just part of the trial, I want to see what kind of choices you will make when you are in the position of Sikong Zhuo, although your choice is not perfect, but you are also qualified and qualified to participate in the next trial," Emperor Yun put his hands behind his back, and the clouds and mist around him spun rapidly, like a huge storm, "Of course, there are also people who have been eliminated here." ”

Su Qi's heart tightened.

Anya and Yin Song don't know what happened, and there is black and white impermanence.

"Don't worry, the eliminated people are just disqualified, and what that little girl named Chang Su said is just to scare you. ”

"She and the Great Emperor, you ......" Su Qi hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to ask.

"Want to know our relationship?" Emperor Yun smiled, "It's very simple, just pass the next trial." ”

The surrounding clouds rose into the sky, forming a huge chessboard, on which the black and white chess pieces moved rapidly, like flashing lines.

"In my life, I am only good at two things, one is illusion, the other is formation, and there is already a successor to illusion, but I also want to find a disciple for my formation," Emperor Yun bent his fingers, and a huge whirlpool appeared in front of the two, and Emperor Yun glanced at Su Qi," After this whirlpool, it is a test of the formation, explain in advance, this trial is not simple, the probability of you successfully passing is no more than twenty percent, and half of the possibility of dying in it, but on the other hand, if you can successfully break through, with the formation alone, you are enough to go to the realm of the half-emperor. ”

"It's up to you whether you want to go in or not. ”

Su Qi stared at the whirlpool for a long time, and the black and white lines on the huge chessboard in the distance flowed rapidly, like an inextinguishable firework.

"I'll go. Su Qi said seriously.
