Qi Jing: ...
He thought that Qi Wangshan had already explained it in detail, but he didn't expect that there was still something to hide?How did Yan Zhilan find out?
Qi Wangshan and Yan Zhilan looked at each other across the air, with a sullen look on his face, he shouted: "Presumptuous! If Gu Ruo wants to hide it from you, why bother?"
Qi Jing thinks so, if Qi Wangshan wants to hide them, there are many ways, such as not telling them where the files are, or taking away the files from Minghe 17 years, or even if they don't answer a word when they ask, why bother to play tricks here?
So he kindly reminded Yan Zhilan, and by the way, gave him a step down to avoid conflicts between him and Qi Wangshan. If Qi Wangshan got angry, he couldn't help it: "Did you make a mistake? I think what my father said It's very clear."
Yan Zhilan didn't know if he didn't hear the meaning behind his words, or if he heard it and deliberately pretended he didn't hear it, he ignored Qi Jing, just looked at Qi Wangshan fixedly, and asked: "If the facts are really as the old gentleman said, Then, Yan Fanzhi would like to ask the old gentleman—”
He looked at Qi Wangshan without blinking, and said word by word: "Shen Shuang voluntarily stepped into the puppet array and became a puppet controlled by others. There will be endless troubles. Since the old gentleman knew about this, why did he stand by and turn a blind eye? Your Majesty is cautious about the Demon Realm, but keeps such a hidden danger as Shen Shuang by his side, this is not like the style of your Majesty, nor does it conform to common sense."
When Qi Jing heard it, what Yan Zhilan said was indeed somewhat reasonable.With Qi Wangshan's attitude towards the demon world, he is afraid to avoid it, as soon as he hears the news of the monster, he is as nervous as facing an enemy. He clearly knows that Shen Shuang has been controlled, why not only let her go, but also allow her to marry and have children?Is it just because Jiang Xu is dead?
But according to Yan Zhilan's memory, many years after Jiang Xu's death, the puppet formation on Shen Shuang's body still seems to have not been broken, otherwise why would she cry and beg Yan Changping to kill her?
Thinking of this, Qi Jing had to say that Yan Zhilan was really thoughtful and thoughtful, and even these trivial details could be connected, which would never have occurred to him.
After Yan Zhilan finished speaking, he stood quietly, with a tall and straight figure, neither humble nor overbearing, like a green pine fearless of wind and rain, facing Qi Wangshan.
There was a moment of silence, Qi Wangshan's invisible coercion enveloped the two of them from top to bottom, while Yan Zhilan silently resisted without shrinking back or giving in.
No one spoke, it was so quiet that Qi Jing could almost hear the beating of his own heartbeat in his chest.He looked at this and that, opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.
After an unknown amount of time, the coercion on Qi Jing's body suddenly disappeared, and Qi Wangshan withdrew the spiritual power that was exerting pressure on them.
Yan Zhilan swayed slightly, a trace of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Almost all of Qi Wangshan's coercion came towards him, and he withdrew it suddenly, and he was the first to suffer a great impact. Fortunately, Qi Wangshan didn't intend to do anything to him, but only slightly punished him.
After the invisible coercion was withdrawn by Qi Wangshan, Qi Jing suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally, opened his mouth to feel sorry for Yan Zhilan, and shouted: "Father!"
All right, just talk when you speak, what are you doing suddenly?If you don't want to say it, don't say it. At worst, he and Yan Zhilan will find out the truth by themselves. What's wrong with doing it if there is a disagreement?Isn't this bullying?
Qi Wangshan glared at Qi Jing, this rebel who doesn't know what to do!
Qi Jing was dissatisfied and was not afraid of him, so he stared back.
Both father and son stared at each other, neither convinced.
Just when Qi Jing's staring eyes were sore and astringent and he couldn't help but want to rub them, Qi Wangshan gave in first, and he sighed, saying: "Forget it, I'm old too. I'll leave these matters to you in the future." .”
Qi Jing was overjoyed and couldn't help urging: "Thank you, father."
Qi Wangshan glanced at his heartless and foolish son, and for the first time knew what a sad feeling is.Thinking about his life, he was vigorous and resolute, calling for the clouds and calling for the rain, and his methods were harsh, but he didn't expect that when he came to the end, he was put together by the little boy he raised with his own hands, and he had nowhere to lose his temper if he wanted to.
He doesn't have much time now. Looking back on his life of being strict with himself and others, he just woke up.After waking up, his temperament also changed drastically. Although the violent temper in the past will not be changed for a while, he has tried his best to control himself, hoping that in the few remaining moments of his life, he will cherish his children by his side like ordinary people. family happiness.
At this point, Qi Wangshan also figured it out, so he stopped hiding from them and explained everything thoroughly: "That's right, Gu really has something to hide..."
When Qi Jing heard this, the main event was coming!He hurriedly raised his ears and concentrated on listening carefully.
Qi Wangshan said: "Jiang Xu is very scheming and scheming. What he says is half true and half false. You have to believe it, and you can't believe it entirely."
Qi Jing asked curiously: "Then how can you tell which ones are true and which ones are false?"
Qi Wangshan's eyes fell on Yan Zhilan, and he slowly said a word, which immediately made Qi Jing stunned as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts.
He said: "The illusion is false, the puppet array is false, and Shen Shuo died at his hands is true."
It took Qi Jing a while to come back to his senses, and subconsciously looked at Yan Zhilan.
"impossible!"
Yan Zhilan's face turned pale in an instant, and he roared back almost subconsciously.
Qi Jing couldn't imagine what a blow it would be to Yan Zhilan if Shen Shuang didn't hit the puppet formation.Not to mention Yan Zhilan, even as a bystander, he couldn't bear it. He couldn't bear to stand in Yan Zhilan's perspective and wonder how he should deal with himself when he knew the truth.
A look of pain flashed in Qi Wangshan's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Believe it or not, the fact is true. If Shen Shuang really fell into the puppet formation, how could Gu let it go?"
Yan Zhilan's figure trembled, his lips murmured to say something, but no sound came out.
Qi Jing couldn't stand it, and asked on his behalf: "But before Shen Shuang died, she kept saying that she was hit by a puppet formation, and begged Yan Changping to kill it. If not, why did she seek death?"
Qi Wangshan shook his head slightly: "I don't know what the twists and turns are. What I can be sure of is that Shen Shuang did not fall into the puppet formation." He paused, and then said: "Because with Jiang Xu's ability, he can't set up a puppet formation at all. formation."
"why?"
Qi Jing once saw the formation diagram of the puppet formation, and the formation method written on it was exactly the same as what Yan Zhilan said, they were all based on living sacrifices, using resentful spirits as a guide, and taking midnight to attract people's attention array.Except for the troublesome sacrifice of life, the others don't seem to be difficult at all.
He shared the confusion in his heart with Qi Wangshan, who looked at him and slowly shook his head: "That "Gumen Formation Note" is just something for entertainment when I was young, so it can't be taken seriously. The real puppet formation is not so Simple."
Qi Jing's eyes widened instantly, admiring Qi Wangshan.In his impression, Qi Wangshan has always been a stubborn and strict person. He never thought that he was so powerful when he was young!It really lives up to the phrase "A man cannot be judged by his appearance."
The other party's light words "something for entertainment" kept echoing in his ears, and he suddenly felt that the image of Qi Wangshan in his heart had become taller, and compared with it, he was like a piece of dead wood.
Qi Wangshan naturally noticed the change in Qi Jing's eyes. Being looked at by his son's eyes full of respect and admiration, he was greatly satisfied physically and mentally, and his mood improved accordingly. He explained with rare patience:
"The real puppet formation was created by the lord of the demon world, Chao Ye. Chao Ye is extremely talented and arrogant. He never puts anyone in his eyes. The same is true for the formation he created. It is not human. Everyone can learn it. Apart from the appearances you have seen, there is an extremely strict condition."
Qi Jing couldn't help blurting out: "What conditions?"
Qi Wangshan said in a deep voice: "The demon world respects bloodlines. Their bloodlines are not only a symbol of status, but also indicate the level of their cultivation. , can’t be successful at all.”
"There are very few demons with pure bloodlines, and they have all been sealed within the demon gate. Even if there are omissions, they will be exposed to the world sooner or later because of the demon breath that cannot be concealed."
He looked at Yan Zhilan, "Jiang Xu is a descendant of a demon and a monk. His half-human, half-demon blood is doomed to make him unable to form a real puppet array."
Qi Jing was so shocked that he was speechless. When Yan Zhilan told him that he was half-human, half-demon, he still sneered, feeling that it was too far away from him. Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years, there was still a half-human, half-demon. the existence of demons.
Qi Wangshan didn't seem surprised, and continued: "Since Jiang Xu can't arrange a real puppet formation, Shen Shuang can't be controlled by the puppet formation. What's more, Jiang Xu is dead, once the person who set up the formation dies, the formation will break down by itself. According to what you said, it is impossible for Shen Shuang to be tortured by the puppet formation more than ten years after Jiang Xu's death."
It took Qi Jing a long time to find his voice, and asked blankly: "Is it possible that Jiang Xu is not dead?"
"Impossible," Qi Wangshan categorically denied, "After Jiang Xu died, Shen Shuang personally crushed his body to ashes, and the ashes were scattered in the northern border. The dark guards saw it with their own eyes. It cannot be faked."
Qi Jing felt that his mind was going to be confused, and asked a series of questions: "If he can't build a real puppet formation, is it possible to make a half-truth and half-fake puppet formation? , Why did he go to such lengths to kill Shen Shuo who was closely related to him? Even Shen Shuo's family members? Otherwise, his identity would not be exposed. What is his intention in doing this?"
Qi Wangshan frowned and said, "A half-truth and half-fake puppet array?"
Qi Jing also suddenly thought of the puppet array on Yan Zhilan's body. If the puppet array can only be formed by pure blooded demons, does that mean that the puppet array on Yan Zhilan's body is still hopeful to be broken?
Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked Qi Wangshan: "According to what my father said, all the demons with pure blood in this world are sealed in the demon gate, and there are no omissions. Is it possible that those demons hidden among the monks will be reunited?" Modified the formation method of the puppet formation, and made a new formation diagram? Since Jiang Xu can hide among the monks for several years without being discovered, is it true that there are more people with the same identity as him hiding in our among?"
Qi Wangshan looked at Qi Jing appreciatively: "Gu also imagined what you said that day. It's just that the blood of the half-human, half-demon is special. Unless they themselves show their feet, it is impossible for ordinary people to find out. If it is like Jiang Xu It is usually hidden so deeply that even with Shen Shuo's cultivation, it is impossible for others to detect it. This matter is of great importance, in order to avoid causing panic among the people, we can only inquire secretly for several years."
Speaking of this, a lonely look appeared on his face, "But the harvest is very little. Apart from Jiang Xu, he also arrested two or three ordinary half-human half-demons with no cultivation, but nothing."
It is a pity that the hero is late.
Qi Jing couldn't help but comforted him: "After all, those half-human and half-devil people not only have the blood of the demon race, but also the blood of the human race. After so many years and generations of reproduction, those blood of the demon race is no longer as good as it was before, maybe even worse. Most of them are half-human, half-devil, they just want to live a peaceful life as an ordinary monk, and they don't want to be as ambitious as Jiang Xu."
Qi Wangshan shook his head: "The cruelty and violence brought by the blood of the demons cannot be changed overnight."
One problem was not solved, and more problems came out, Qi Jing wailed, feeling that his head was going to explode.
Yan Zhilan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Perhaps what General Shen Shuo saw was not the hallucination that Jiang Xu said."
Qi Jing turned his head and looked over, he had already wiped away the blood from the corner of Yan Zhilan's lips, the pain in his eyes had mostly faded away, and his eyes became calm and clear again.
In the eyes of Qi Wangshan and Qi Jing who looked at him together, he unhurriedly told his conjectures one by one: "According to what the old gentleman said, General Shen Shuo once mentioned to the old gentleman that he is half-human, half-human. A thing of the devil."
Having said that, he looked up at Qi Wangshan.
Qi Wangshan nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Yan Zhilan continued: "It is impossible for General Shen Shuo to bring up this matter for no reason. It must have happened or seen something that touched his heart, so he wanted to find out what the old gentleman said."
Qi Wangshan pondered and said: "General Shen Shuo told Gu that he sneaked into the enemy camp and saw many half-human, half-demonic people, who were warm and peaceful, just like ordinary monks, so he asked Gu how to deal with these people if the plan came true."
Yan Zhilan nodded: "The old gentleman has scruples and ordered to cut the weeds and root them out."
Qi Wangshan said: "Exactly."
Yan Zhilan looked at Qi Wangshan: "General Shen Shuo said that he sneaked into the enemy camp alone, while Jiang Xu said that everything was set up by him, it was Shen Shuo's illusion. What if what they both said is not true?"
Hearing this, Qi Wangshan stood up abruptly, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "What did you say?"
The more Qi Jing listened, the more confused he became, and he couldn't help interjecting: "How do you know that what they said is all false?"
Yan Zhilan calmly said two words: "Evidence."
Qi Jing looked blank: "Evidence?"
Qi Wangshan reacted before him, and said with a complicated expression: "Yes. Evidence."
Yan Zhilan seemed to be talking to Qi Wangshan, but also seemed to be explaining to Qi Jing: "Shen Shuo said that he infiltrated alone, and all contacts with Laojun were controlled by him alone, and any information obtained from Laojun was also controlled by him. Then, who can prove where he went? Who saw him fighting with people from the Demon Realm? The commander in chief of the army disappeared without any reason, and no one asked questions, nor did he send a letter to the capital. Unreasonable. But..."
Speaking of this, he paused, and continued with his usual expression, "What if what Shen Shuo said is false? If Shen Shuo didn't leave the army, and didn't sneak into the enemy camp, it was just a self-directed and self-acted scene." What about the play?"
"Enough!" Qi Wangshan slapped the table heavily, gasping for breath, and said sharply, "Yan Zhilan! Do you know what you are talking about? Shen Shuo is your grandfather! He is Gu Zeng's right-hand man! How can you do that?" slander!"
A flash of pain flashed in Yan Zhilan's eyes, and then he lowered his eyes to cover it up, so fast that Qi Jing almost thought it was an illusion.
Yan Zhilan faced Qi Wangshan's eyes that were almost spitting fire, and continued: "If Shen Shuo accidentally discovered Jiang Xu's identity, he would also accidentally discover more people like Jiang Xu. After a hundred years, these Even if people have the blood of the demon race on their bodies, they are still descendants of the human race. They have done nothing wrong, they have never killed anyone, and they have never had a drop of blood on their hands. "
Qi Wangshan shouted heavily: "Yan Zhilan! If he is not of my race, his heart must be different! You should know that you can't take this risk alone."
Yan Zhilan shook his head: "General Shen Shuo is well aware of the temperament of the old gentleman. He couldn't bear to see such an innocent person being slaughtered, so he conspired with Jiang Xu and played a scene..."
"No." This time it was not Qi Wangshan who stopped him, but Qi Jing frowned, puzzled, "If this is the case, then Jiang Xu should be grateful to Shen Shuo before it's too late, so how could he kill him?"
Yan Zhilan suddenly turned his head, looked at him, and said word by word: "Who said Shen Shuo died? Has anyone seen Shen Shuo died?"
"Jiang Xu said, he said he saw it with his own eyes." Qi Jing replied subconsciously, and suddenly understood Yan Zhilan's meaning after the reply.
Yan Zhilan stared at him, and said word by word: "Everything is what Jiang Xu said. No one has ever seen Shen Shuo's body, and no one has ever seen where the enemy camp that Shen Shuo said is. "
Qi Jing was shocked by his sudden outburst of lingering temperament, and his breath was stagnant, and there were two inappropriate answers in his mind——
Q: "When is a man most attractive?"
Answer: "A serious man is the most attractive."
If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Qi Jing really wanted to find a corner where no one was around and slap himself twice to wake up, ahhh what's going on with this brain?Thinking about something messy every day?
but--
He sneaked a glance at Yan Zhilan who had already turned his head away, and had to admit that Yan Zhilan, who was seriously analyzing the matter, really had a little bit of a heartbeat that could not be ignored.
etc.Qi Jing's heart froze, what's the matter with this heartbeat?Brain, what cliché do you recommend me?
"Go on. If Shen Shuo didn't die, why did Jiang Xu say he was dead? And why hasn't Shen Shuo appeared again for so many years?"
Qi Wangshan's majestic voice came from above, Qi Jing came back to his senses, and quickly dumped the blame on his unreliable brain, resolutely refusing to admit that he was jealous of Yan Zhilan's personality charm, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and forced himself to be calm Come down and listen to Yan Zhilan's continued analysis.
Yan Zhilan pondered, "The reason why Shen Shuo didn't appear again is nothing more than two possibilities. First, Shen Shuo is really dead, and it is very likely that he was killed by Jiang Xu; second, Shen Shuo didn't die, but For some reason, I can't show up in front of people."
These words were not polite, Qi Wangshan smiled instead of anger, and said to Yan Zhilan: "These are just your guesses, and you have no evidence, do you?"
"One thing," Yan Zhilan looked up at him, "Puppet array."
Qi Jing was almost driven crazy by these two people, he circled around, why did he circle back again!After such a long time, he deeply felt that his brain was not enough, so please let him go!
Yan Zhilan said calmly: "Before Jiang Xu died, he once said that my mother, Shen Shuang, was controlled by the puppet array. Let alone how much time and manpower it would take to set up the puppet array, Jiang Xu also How did he know where Shen Shuang will kill him? The time and place are beyond his control. So, I guess, what Shen Shuang is targeting is not a puppet array at all."
Qi Jing was dumbfounded: "What is that?"
Yan Zhilan paused, Qi Wangshan seemed to have suddenly remembered something, stood up from behind the table, lost his composure and said: "Yes, yes..." He was so excited that he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Yan Zhilan nodded knowingly, "It's mind control."
"That's right, it's a mind control technique." Qi Wangshan murmured, "It's a mind control technique."
Qi Jing heard this term for the first time, and asked, "What is mind control?"
Yan Zhilan said: "On the surface, the mind control technique is very similar to the puppet formation. If you are not proficient in formation, it is easy to confuse the two. In fact, the mind control technique is much easier than the puppet formation, and it will not be affected by the blood. Influence, it is easy to refine."
Qi Jing still didn't understand: "But Jiang Xu is dead, can a dead person still control his mind?"
"Mind control is not the mind control you think," said Qi Wangshan's old voice, "Mind control is called mind control, but its essence is to deceive the heart."
Qi Jing shifted his gaze to Qi Wangshan: "Confused?"
"That's right," Yan Zhilan pondered, "to deceive a person's mind, to change some things and people she has seen into other things in a way of embedding flowers and plants."
Qi Jing seemed to understand a little bit, "It is to use another memory to cover up another memory, another memory that the owner of the mind control technique does not want to be known."
Yan Zhilan nodded at him: "That's almost what it means."
But Qi Jing still didn't understand: "Why did Lingtang say that she was controlled by the puppet array?"
A look of pain flashed in Yan Zhilan's eyes.
Qi Wangshan took over the conversation and said, "If it is really mind control, everything will make sense. The reason why mind control is called mind control is not only to deceive people's minds, but if it has not been solved after a long time, the person who has been in the art will be deceived." The memory will gradually fall into chaos, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams. Apart from the memory erased by Jiang Xu in Shen Shuang's heart, the most haunting thing in Shen Shuang's mind is probably the puppet formation that Jiang Xu mentioned before his death."
"That's right," Yan Zhilan covered the pain in his eyes, "Mother was probably in chaos back then, the word 'puppet array' was a nightmare of her life, she couldn't tell what was true and what was false. If it wasn't so, She won't ask her father to kill her."
Qi Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked him worriedly: "What about you? Is it also mind control?"
Yan Zhilan shook his head: "It's a puppet formation."
Qi Jing said "Ah?" and said worriedly, "Then what should I do?"
Yan Zhilan lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down towards Qi Wangshan, and said firmly: "Yan Fanzhi personally invites you to go to the northern border to investigate Shen Shuo's matter, and please help me."
The author has something to say: the next chapter will open the mode of dating and playing dungeons~
He thought that Qi Wangshan had already explained it in detail, but he didn't expect that there was still something to hide?How did Yan Zhilan find out?
Qi Wangshan and Yan Zhilan looked at each other across the air, with a sullen look on his face, he shouted: "Presumptuous! If Gu Ruo wants to hide it from you, why bother?"
Qi Jing thinks so, if Qi Wangshan wants to hide them, there are many ways, such as not telling them where the files are, or taking away the files from Minghe 17 years, or even if they don't answer a word when they ask, why bother to play tricks here?
So he kindly reminded Yan Zhilan, and by the way, gave him a step down to avoid conflicts between him and Qi Wangshan. If Qi Wangshan got angry, he couldn't help it: "Did you make a mistake? I think what my father said It's very clear."
Yan Zhilan didn't know if he didn't hear the meaning behind his words, or if he heard it and deliberately pretended he didn't hear it, he ignored Qi Jing, just looked at Qi Wangshan fixedly, and asked: "If the facts are really as the old gentleman said, Then, Yan Fanzhi would like to ask the old gentleman—”
He looked at Qi Wangshan without blinking, and said word by word: "Shen Shuang voluntarily stepped into the puppet array and became a puppet controlled by others. There will be endless troubles. Since the old gentleman knew about this, why did he stand by and turn a blind eye? Your Majesty is cautious about the Demon Realm, but keeps such a hidden danger as Shen Shuang by his side, this is not like the style of your Majesty, nor does it conform to common sense."
When Qi Jing heard it, what Yan Zhilan said was indeed somewhat reasonable.With Qi Wangshan's attitude towards the demon world, he is afraid to avoid it, as soon as he hears the news of the monster, he is as nervous as facing an enemy. He clearly knows that Shen Shuang has been controlled, why not only let her go, but also allow her to marry and have children?Is it just because Jiang Xu is dead?
But according to Yan Zhilan's memory, many years after Jiang Xu's death, the puppet formation on Shen Shuang's body still seems to have not been broken, otherwise why would she cry and beg Yan Changping to kill her?
Thinking of this, Qi Jing had to say that Yan Zhilan was really thoughtful and thoughtful, and even these trivial details could be connected, which would never have occurred to him.
After Yan Zhilan finished speaking, he stood quietly, with a tall and straight figure, neither humble nor overbearing, like a green pine fearless of wind and rain, facing Qi Wangshan.
There was a moment of silence, Qi Wangshan's invisible coercion enveloped the two of them from top to bottom, while Yan Zhilan silently resisted without shrinking back or giving in.

Almost all of Qi Wangshan's coercion came towards him, and he withdrew it suddenly, and he was the first to suffer a great impact. Fortunately, Qi Wangshan didn't intend to do anything to him, but only slightly punished him.

Qi Wangshan glared at Qi Jing, this rebel who doesn't know what to do!
Qi Jing was dissatisfied and was not afraid of him, so he stared back.
Both father and son stared at each other, neither convinced.
Just when Qi Jing's staring eyes were sore and astringent and he couldn't help but want to rub them, Qi Wangshan gave in first, and he sighed, saying: "Forget it, I'm old too. I'll leave these matters to you in the future." .”
Qi Jing was overjoyed and couldn't help urging: "Thank you, father."
Qi Wangshan glanced at his heartless and foolish son, and for the first time knew what a sad feeling is.Thinking about his life, he was vigorous and resolute, calling for the clouds and calling for the rain, and his methods were harsh, but he didn't expect that when he came to the end, he was put together by the little boy he raised with his own hands, and he had nowhere to lose his temper if he wanted to.
He doesn't have much time now. Looking back on his life of being strict with himself and others, he just woke up.After waking up, his temperament also changed drastically. Although the violent temper in the past will not be changed for a while, he has tried his best to control himself, hoping that in the few remaining moments of his life, he will cherish his children by his side like ordinary people. family happiness.

Qi Wangshan's eyes fell on Yan Zhilan, and he slowly said a word, which immediately made Qi Jing stunned as if he had been struck by five thunderbolts.
He said: "The illusion is false, the puppet array is false, and Shen Shuo died at his hands is true."
It took Qi Jing a while to come back to his senses, and subconsciously looked at Yan Zhilan.

Qi Wangshan naturally noticed the change in Qi Jing's eyes. Being looked at by his son's eyes full of respect and admiration, he was greatly satisfied physically and mentally, and his mood improved accordingly. He explained with rare patience:

The same is true for the formation he created. It is not human. Everyone can learn it. Apart from the appearances you have seen, there is an extremely strict condition."
Qi Jing couldn't help blurting out: "What conditions?"

What's more, Jiang Xu is dead, once the person who set up the formation dies, the formation will break down by itself. According to what you said, it is impossible for Shen Shuang to be tortured by the puppet formation more than ten years after Jiang Xu's death."
It took Qi Jing a long time to find his voice, and asked blankly: "Is it possible that Jiang Xu is not dead?"
"Impossible," Qi Wangshan categorically denied, "After Jiang Xu died, Shen Shuang personally crushed his body to ashes, and the ashes were scattered in the northern border. The dark guards saw it with their own eyes. It cannot be faked."
Qi Jing felt that his mind was going to be confused, and asked a series of questions: "If he can't build a real puppet formation, is it possible to make a half-truth and half-fake puppet formation? , Why did he go to such lengths to kill Shen Shuo who was closely related to him? Even Shen Shuo's family members? Otherwise, his identity would not be exposed. What is his intention in doing this?"
Qi Wangshan frowned and said, "A half-truth and half-fake puppet array?"
Qi Jing also suddenly thought of the puppet array on Yan Zhilan's body. If the puppet array can only be formed by pure blooded demons, does that mean that the puppet array on Yan Zhilan's body is still hopeful to be broken?
Thinking of this, he raised his head and asked Qi Wangshan: "According to what my father said, all the demons with pure blood in this world are sealed in the demon gate, and there are no omissions. Is it possible that those demons hidden among the monks will be reunited?" Modified the formation method of the puppet formation, and made a new formation diagram? Since Jiang Xu can hide among the monks for several years without being discovered, is it true that there are more people with the same identity as him hiding in our among?"
Qi Wangshan looked at Qi Jing appreciatively: "Gu also imagined what you said that day. It's just that the blood of the half-human, half-demon is special. Unless they themselves show their feet, it is impossible for ordinary people to find out. If it is like Jiang Xu It is usually hidden so deeply that even with Shen Shuo's cultivation, it is impossible for others to detect it. This matter is of great importance, in order to avoid causing panic among the people, we can only inquire secretly for several years."
Speaking of this, a lonely look appeared on his face, "But the harvest is very little. Apart from Jiang Xu, he also arrested two or three ordinary half-human half-demons with no cultivation, but nothing."
It is a pity that the hero is late.
Qi Jing couldn't help but comforted him: "After all, those half-human and half-devil people not only have the blood of the demon race, but also the blood of the human race. After so many years and generations of reproduction, those blood of the demon race is no longer as good as it was before, maybe even worse. Most of them are half-human, half-devil, they just want to live a peaceful life as an ordinary monk, and they don't want to be as ambitious as Jiang Xu."
Qi Wangshan shook his head: "The cruelty and violence brought by the blood of the demons cannot be changed overnight."
One problem was not solved, and more problems came out, Qi Jing wailed, feeling that his head was going to explode.
Yan Zhilan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Perhaps what General Shen Shuo saw was not the hallucination that Jiang Xu said."
Qi Jing turned his head and looked over, he had already wiped away the blood from the corner of Yan Zhilan's lips, the pain in his eyes had mostly faded away, and his eyes became calm and clear again.
In the eyes of Qi Wangshan and Qi Jing who looked at him together, he unhurriedly told his conjectures one by one: "According to what the old gentleman said, General Shen Shuo once mentioned to the old gentleman that he is half-human, half-human. A thing of the devil."
Having said that, he looked up at Qi Wangshan.
Qi Wangshan nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Yan Zhilan continued: "It is impossible for General Shen Shuo to bring up this matter for no reason. It must have happened or seen something that touched his heart, so he wanted to find out what the old gentleman said."
Qi Wangshan pondered and said: "General Shen Shuo told Gu that he sneaked into the enemy camp and saw many half-human, half-demonic people, who were warm and peaceful, just like ordinary monks, so he asked Gu how to deal with these people if the plan came true."
Yan Zhilan nodded: "The old gentleman has scruples and ordered to cut the weeds and root them out."
Qi Wangshan said: "Exactly."
Yan Zhilan looked at Qi Wangshan: "General Shen Shuo said that he sneaked into the enemy camp alone, while Jiang Xu said that everything was set up by him, it was Shen Shuo's illusion. What if what they both said is not true?"
Hearing this, Qi Wangshan stood up abruptly, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "What did you say?"
The more Qi Jing listened, the more confused he became, and he couldn't help interjecting: "How do you know that what they said is all false?"
Yan Zhilan calmly said two words: "Evidence."
Qi Jing looked blank: "Evidence?"
Qi Wangshan reacted before him, and said with a complicated expression: "Yes. Evidence."
Yan Zhilan seemed to be talking to Qi Wangshan, but also seemed to be explaining to Qi Jing: "Shen Shuo said that he infiltrated alone, and all contacts with Laojun were controlled by him alone, and any information obtained from Laojun was also controlled by him. Then, who can prove where he went? Who saw him fighting with people from the Demon Realm? The commander in chief of the army disappeared without any reason, and no one asked questions, nor did he send a letter to the capital. Unreasonable. But..."
Speaking of this, he paused, and continued with his usual expression, "What if what Shen Shuo said is false? If Shen Shuo didn't leave the army, and didn't sneak into the enemy camp, it was just a self-directed and self-acted scene." What about the play?"
"Enough!" Qi Wangshan slapped the table heavily, gasping for breath, and said sharply, "Yan Zhilan! Do you know what you are talking about? Shen Shuo is your grandfather! He is Gu Zeng's right-hand man! How can you do that?" slander!"
A flash of pain flashed in Yan Zhilan's eyes, and then he lowered his eyes to cover it up, so fast that Qi Jing almost thought it was an illusion.
Yan Zhilan faced Qi Wangshan's eyes that were almost spitting fire, and continued: "If Shen Shuo accidentally discovered Jiang Xu's identity, he would also accidentally discover more people like Jiang Xu. After a hundred years, these Even if people have the blood of the demon race on their bodies, they are still descendants of the human race. They have done nothing wrong, they have never killed anyone, and they have never had a drop of blood on their hands. "
Qi Wangshan shouted heavily: "Yan Zhilan! If he is not of my race, his heart must be different! You should know that you can't take this risk alone."
Yan Zhilan shook his head: "General Shen Shuo is well aware of the temperament of the old gentleman. He couldn't bear to see such an innocent person being slaughtered, so he conspired with Jiang Xu and played a scene..."
"No." This time it was not Qi Wangshan who stopped him, but Qi Jing frowned, puzzled, "If this is the case, then Jiang Xu should be grateful to Shen Shuo before it's too late, so how could he kill him?"
Yan Zhilan suddenly turned his head, looked at him, and said word by word: "Who said Shen Shuo died? Has anyone seen Shen Shuo died?"
"Jiang Xu said, he said he saw it with his own eyes." Qi Jing replied subconsciously, and suddenly understood Yan Zhilan's meaning after the reply.
Yan Zhilan stared at him, and said word by word: "Everything is what Jiang Xu said. No one has ever seen Shen Shuo's body, and no one has ever seen where the enemy camp that Shen Shuo said is. "
Qi Jing was shocked by his sudden outburst of lingering temperament, and his breath was stagnant, and there were two inappropriate answers in his mind——
Q: "When is a man most attractive?"
Answer: "A serious man is the most attractive."
If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Qi Jing really wanted to find a corner where no one was around and slap himself twice to wake up, ahhh what's going on with this brain?Thinking about something messy every day?
but--
He sneaked a glance at Yan Zhilan who had already turned his head away, and had to admit that Yan Zhilan, who was seriously analyzing the matter, really had a little bit of a heartbeat that could not be ignored.
etc.Qi Jing's heart froze, what's the matter with this heartbeat?Brain, what cliché do you recommend me?
"Go on. If Shen Shuo didn't die, why did Jiang Xu say he was dead? And why hasn't Shen Shuo appeared again for so many years?"
Qi Wangshan's majestic voice came from above, Qi Jing came back to his senses, and quickly dumped the blame on his unreliable brain, resolutely refusing to admit that he was jealous of Yan Zhilan's personality charm, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and forced himself to be calm Come down and listen to Yan Zhilan's continued analysis.
Yan Zhilan pondered, "The reason why Shen Shuo didn't appear again is nothing more than two possibilities. First, Shen Shuo is really dead, and it is very likely that he was killed by Jiang Xu; second, Shen Shuo didn't die, but For some reason, I can't show up in front of people."
These words were not polite, Qi Wangshan smiled instead of anger, and said to Yan Zhilan: "These are just your guesses, and you have no evidence, do you?"
"One thing," Yan Zhilan looked up at him, "Puppet array."
Qi Jing was almost driven crazy by these two people, he circled around, why did he circle back again!After such a long time, he deeply felt that his brain was not enough, so please let him go!
Yan Zhilan said calmly: "Before Jiang Xu died, he once said that my mother, Shen Shuang, was controlled by the puppet array. Let alone how much time and manpower it would take to set up the puppet array, Jiang Xu also How did he know where Shen Shuang will kill him? The time and place are beyond his control. So, I guess, what Shen Shuang is targeting is not a puppet array at all."
Qi Jing was dumbfounded: "What is that?"
Yan Zhilan paused, Qi Wangshan seemed to have suddenly remembered something, stood up from behind the table, lost his composure and said: "Yes, yes..." He was so excited that he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Yan Zhilan nodded knowingly, "It's mind control."
"That's right, it's a mind control technique." Qi Wangshan murmured, "It's a mind control technique."
Qi Jing heard this term for the first time, and asked, "What is mind control?"
Yan Zhilan said: "On the surface, the mind control technique is very similar to the puppet formation. If you are not proficient in formation, it is easy to confuse the two. In fact, the mind control technique is much easier than the puppet formation, and it will not be affected by the blood. Influence, it is easy to refine."
Qi Jing still didn't understand: "But Jiang Xu is dead, can a dead person still control his mind?"
"Mind control is not the mind control you think," said Qi Wangshan's old voice, "Mind control is called mind control, but its essence is to deceive the heart."
Qi Jing shifted his gaze to Qi Wangshan: "Confused?"
"That's right," Yan Zhilan pondered, "to deceive a person's mind, to change some things and people she has seen into other things in a way of embedding flowers and plants."
Qi Jing seemed to understand a little bit, "It is to use another memory to cover up another memory, another memory that the owner of the mind control technique does not want to be known."
Yan Zhilan nodded at him: "That's almost what it means."
But Qi Jing still didn't understand: "Why did Lingtang say that she was controlled by the puppet array?"
A look of pain flashed in Yan Zhilan's eyes.
Qi Wangshan took over the conversation and said, "If it is really mind control, everything will make sense. The reason why mind control is called mind control is not only to deceive people's minds, but if it has not been solved after a long time, the person who has been in the art will be deceived." The memory will gradually fall into chaos, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams. Apart from the memory erased by Jiang Xu in Shen Shuang's heart, the most haunting thing in Shen Shuang's mind is probably the puppet formation that Jiang Xu mentioned before his death."
"That's right," Yan Zhilan covered the pain in his eyes, "Mother was probably in chaos back then, the word 'puppet array' was a nightmare of her life, she couldn't tell what was true and what was false. If it wasn't so, She won't ask her father to kill her."
Qi Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked him worriedly: "What about you? Is it also mind control?"
Yan Zhilan shook his head: "It's a puppet formation."
Qi Jing said "Ah?" and said worriedly, "Then what should I do?"
Yan Zhilan lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down towards Qi Wangshan, and said firmly: "Yan Fanzhi personally invites you to go to the northern border to investigate Shen Shuo's matter, and please help me."
