Hearing that Zhu Xiu was not only willing to help him clarify the misunderstanding with Zhu seniors, but also willing to intercede for him, Shanhe was moved speechless on the spot.

After incoherently thanking him repeatedly, he remembered about the test period of that year, and he had not finished asking just now, so he continued to talk about it:

"By the way, Sister Xiu, why did the seniors set such strange rules? Is it because of the ancestral training, or is it ......?"

Hearing Shanhe ask about this, this time Zhu Xiu did not rush to reply, but looked at the small waterfall in the west.

After watching it in a daze for a while, it was accompanied by a long sigh and explained to Shanhe the origin of the test period.

The illusion technique has always been the unique secret art of the Zhu family since ancient times.

However, because of the ancestral teachings, people who are not from the Zhu family are not allowed to spread it. Therefore, for thousands of years, this technique has never been learned by outsiders.

Until more than 100 years ago, the patriarch of the Zhu family at that time, Zhu Kuan, that is, Zhu Ying's grandfather, was the first to stand up.

The ancestral precepts that have been passed down for I don't know how many years have been revised, and the most important one is to remove the rule that it is not allowed to spread the illusion technique.

The reason why he did this was actually out of kindness, wanting to carry forward the Zhu family!

Because in recent years, the situation of the Zhu family, to be honest, has been getting worse and worse.

Not only are people scarce, but people with outstanding talents are also becoming more and more rare.

In addition, the cultivation resources were extremely poor, except for him Zhu Kuan, who barely stepped into the Kun Ladder Territory, and the other clansmen all stayed between Meng and Tun.

Not to mention the big sects, even the small sects and small families at the bottom of the class will come to bully them from time to time.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Kuan, as the patriarch, couldn't bear it anymore, so he decided to revive the family, wanting to see the rise of the Zhu family again in his lifetime.

However, to achieve this, it is not possible to just talk and shout slogans.

During this period, not only does it require the joint efforts of the whole clan, but it also requires a large number of cultivation resources!

As long as there are sufficient resources, even if the clansmen are not talented enough, they can quickly become strong with the help of resources.

Therefore, in order to obtain valuable resources, Zhu Kuan came up with this trick and decided to take out their Zhu family's most valuable thing, the Illusion Technique, and exchange resources with other cultivators.

As soon as the news was released, it attracted a large number of customers who had coveted the illusion technique for a long time.

Zhu Kuang is a posture of not refusing to come, no matter who it is, as long as there are enough resources, he will exchange.

Of course, in the process of exchange, he also kept an eye on it.

Everyone who has learned this art, he has a record.

And in the process of teaching, he also deliberately concealed several key steps.

In the end, all those who study can only use it for themselves, but cannot teach it to others, which protects the interests of the Zhu family to a large extent.

In this way, more than 70 years have passed in a flash, and the Zhu family has indeed become a lot stronger under the influence of this strategy.

However, just thirty years ago, after Zhu Ying took over the position of the head of the Zhu family, something happened that she regretted for the rest of her life.

As for what happened at that time, due to the privacy of the family, Zhu Xiu did not tell Shanhe Ming.

just roughly told him that after someone learned the illusion through a transaction, not only did he not be grateful, but he also used this technique to pit Zhu Ying ruthlessly!

Zhu Ying, who was harmed, still feels a faint pain in her heart when she thinks of this matter so far!

Therefore, after that, Zhu Ying added a rule to the teaching of illusion technique: if a stranger wants to learn this technique, he must pass a one-year character test.

Those who are not virtuous enough will not be taught!

"Oh, that's how it came about. After nodding brightly, Shanhe asked again:

"Hey, the guy who hurt Zhu Senior at the time, did you find it later?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xiu's complexion changed suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and replied:

"No, if I had found that slut, I would have ...... I've long since left this place with my mother, alas. So, in order to prevent the recurrence of the same mistakes in the future, my mother set this rule. ”

After listening to Zhu Xiu's explanation, Shanhe does have a little more understanding of the origin of this rule.

As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't do without the heart to prevent people.

It sounds reasonable to put the student's character to the test before teaching it.

Moreover, this disguise technique is a kind of deception, and the slightest carelessness may be used by people for some evil things.

Therefore, whether it is public or private, no matter how you look at it, this test has its own reason, which is difficult to refute.

And when Shanhe understood the situation, the depressed color on his face became more and more intense.

Because in his opinion, the more reasonable this test is, the less chance he has to break through this link.

The hope of learning the illusion technique in a few days is also getting slimmer.

......

After chatting with Shanhe for a few more words, Zhu Xiu left this place and walked alone to the mountains and forests in the west.

It wasn't until the moon rose that she hurried back, and after sending some food to Shanhe, she returned to the hut.

As for the mountains and rivers, as he promised, he knelt in this courtyard for a night......

The next morning, when the morning sun rose in the east, the mountains and rivers that witnessed the sunrise couldn't help but sigh.

There are only three days left before the selection meeting of Nangong Gate.

He was also getting more and more anxious.

But what's the use of him being in a hurry?

He played all his hole cards yesterday, and now the initiative is all in Zhu Ying's hands.

He has nothing to do but kneel here and pretend to be pitiful.

Therefore, after a long period of deliberation, Shanhe finally made a decision: he had to ask Xiaobian for help!

Although the bracelet is sometimes quite annoying, it always likes to work against itself.

Especially in the matter of going to Nangongmen, she always makes a stumbling block for herself in secret.

But at this moment, Shanhe is really in urgent need of help!

And now the only one who can provide him with support and help is Xiao Bang.

Therefore, in order to keep this appearance that can still be seen, and in order to participate in the selection meeting three days later as scheduled, Shanhe knows that he can no longer be angry like a child.

In such a cold war, I'm afraid that the daylily will be cold!

So, after more than 20 hours, Shanhe finally evoked the name of the bracelet in his mind again:

"Little bracelet, you...... Are you there?"

As a result, no one responded.

"Hello, are you there?"

As a result, no one responded.

Seeing this, Shanhe certainly guessed that Xiao Bang must still be angry with himself.

So, after a light sigh, he changed the way of chatting:

"Little bracelet, I was wrong......! Even if I blame you, don't be angry, just talk to me!"

Not to mention, as soon as Shanhe's attitude changed, the small bracelet immediately appeared. It's just that the tone is not as kind as expected:

"Wrong is wrong, apologize and apologize! What do you mean, 'Even if I'm wrong', you don't know how to apologize to a girl?"
