Chapter 257: The Root?
Lu Yi already had a terrible idea in his heart when he heard this, and the old man's words below really confirmed his guess.
I heard the old man say, "I suddenly connected to an ancient evil technique in my mind, I don't know if you have ever heard of puppetry?" ”
"How could the juniors not know about this abominable puppetry, the juniors have also suffered from it!" Lu Yi gritted his teeth when he heard this.
"Oh?" This time it was the old man's turn to be surprised, "You were also harmed by puppetry?" Let's hear it. ”
Immediately, Lu Yi gave a brief explanation to the old man about his several puppet persecutions. After listening to this, the old man muttered for a long time, and he didn't know what he was muttering when he said something in his mouth, and after a long time, he raised his head and said to Lu Yi: "This should be for me." ”
"Huh?" Lu Yi frowned, "Why did the predecessor say this?" ”
"It's a long story, you listen to me finish talking about that kid first." The old man didn't seem to be too reluctant to mention this memory, he sighed and continued, "I had a lot of doubts at that time, that woman's cultivation is only in the late stage of the fifth order, and it is impossible for her to use the puppet technique to control the Imperial Spirit Consummation Cultivator, and I observed that the kid has no sign of being taken away, so it can only explain one problem, after he was controlled by a higher cultivator with a puppet technique, he was ordered to completely obey this woman." Otherwise, he would not have obeyed the woman's words, and betrayed all the secrets he had sworn not to be revealed to outsiders. Although this was not what he wanted, he made a heavenly oath back then, and he would definitely not be able to build spirits in this life, otherwise he would be punished by the heavenly way and be wiped out directly. I think the person who controlled him probably didn't know about the oath, and that person must have a deeper purpose, and probably wanted to wait for that kid to build a spirit before implementing it. Therefore, even if I can save him back, he can only stop at the status quo, so I might as well use him to find out who is behind him and eradicate him, which can be regarded as avenging him. So I waited with him in peace, watching him and the woman while checking for suspicious people around them.
In this way, I waited for nearly a hundred years, and finally I found the slightest clue. In the past hundred years, the boy and the woman have not left the small city where we are located, and after his women were driven away, he did not mess with flowers and grass anymore, but devoted himself to cultivation, seemingly working very hard, as if he wanted to build a spirit as soon as possible, which also confirmed my thoughts. I pay special attention to the people in the city to see if there is any suspicious existence, in fact, this small city is already desolate, and there are no real masters in the city, so once there are spiritual monks, I will be concerned, but in the past hundred years or so, there have been no spiritual monks coming, not even the spiritual monks who have passed by within thousands of miles around. Although the puppet technique can control others, it must also strengthen the control on a regular basis, otherwise the controlled person will be released from control because of the weakened effect, which will take a hundred years, so the caster is no matter how high the mana, it is time to come over and strengthen the control by the way, right? This is unreasonable, I thought about it, and suddenly realized that there is definitely something wrong with that woman! I looked back at the woman carefully, and finally discovered the secret of her body, this woman actually wore a treasure weapon that could conceal her cultivation! That treasure was so exquisitely refined that even I, the Great Refining Sect Master, looked away and didn't notice anything unusual about it. The woman loves beauty very much, and she changes the decoration of the law all day long, but one of her hairbands has never been changed, and I have a little doubt because of this, and I looked at the ribbon a few more times, and only then did I find the clue from the fluctuation of spiritual power revealed on the ribbon. That treasure was very well disguised, it looked like an ordinary sixth-order magic weapon, but it was actually a medium-grade treasure, and the grade was no less than those jade pendants I refined. I think I can't find ten people in the continent who can use such means, and I know them all, but I still can't connect any of them with this matter after thinking about it, I am familiar with their methods, and this treasure is definitely not from their hands, which means that there is a hidden master that I don't know. It takes so much trouble to deal with a spiritual monk, this obviously doesn't make sense, after some thought, I finally found the real reason why that kid was controlled, it was because the jade pendant aroused the interest of the other party, and the person who performed the puppet spell should be to find the real owner of the jade pendant or the refiner - me! As for what he wants to do with me, I don't know for the time being. In order to cast a long line to catch a big fish, I can only give up the poor boy for the time being, and use him as a sacrifice to help me find out the real culprit behind the scenes, although I can't bear it, but there is no other way, I am not a woman's kind person, after making up my mind, I began a series of layouts. ”
