when listening to stories or watching movies, I like to be spoiled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It’s best to tell me the ending first, whether it’s good or bad, so I can watch with peace of mind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yueshan didn't pay attention to this little quirk of Yin Yin Nanfeng’s, and he said thoughtfully: \"Lan Ling said that there is only one such Heart Gu in the whole clan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And it was passed down from before; the clan had studied it for several generations and still hadn't penetrated it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And using the Heart Gu is very different from their current Gu sorcery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I boldly guess that this Heart Gu might be a Gu sorcery more profound than the Gu sorcery of these Mengli Miao people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If one must compare, then perhaps one is the ancestor, and the other is the descendant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Or to put it more bluntly, the Gu sorcery of the Mengli people is actually imitating this Heart Gu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But unfortunately, for some reason, they simply can't imitate it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ultimately, in the process of imitation, the Gu sorcery used today was gradually formed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yin Yin Nanfeng felt a stir in her heart after hearing this guess, and then said: \"If what you say is right, I think the key to this Heart Gu should be in those two thin red and white silk threads!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lan Ling also said that the people in the clan hadn't figured out what kind of creature that was!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Note that she used the word 'creature'; this is actually very formal language.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lan Ling is just learning Han language; being able to use this word shows that there is no description more suitable for those red and white silk threads than this word!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This thing is a kind of unknown creature, but it is definitely not something like an insect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Yin Yin Nanfeng suddenly let out a surprised \"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then she said: \"I know! The reason Wu Laogou didn't die, and Lewis could also retreat from the Mengli Miao village unscathed, is very likely because he penetrated the secret of this Heart Gu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If this Heart Gu is much more advanced than the Gu sorcery of the Mengli Miao people, then only if Lewis mastered the Gu sorcery of the Heart Gu could he negotiate with the Mengli people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yueshan also nodded; he felt that the combination of what Yin Yin Nanfeng and he had guessed should be the truth of the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Moreover, if the Gu sorcery of the Heart Gu were really more advanced than that of the Mengli people,\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>then it would be easy to break the Gu that the Mengli clan leader planted in Wu Laogou!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, there was still one doubt in this that Zhang Yueshan still didn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So he asked with some doubt: \"If our guess is correct, then how was Wu Laogou’s Heart Gu undone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The advanced can naturally undo the low-level, so the Gu the clan leader planted in him is no longer a problem, but what about the Heart Gu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Heart Gu is a more high-end Gu sorcery. Lan Ling, as the user of the Heart Gu of this generation, only knows how to use it but not how to undo it. I think Lewis shouldn't have the ability to completely break the Heart Gu either!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yet Wu Laogou married a Jiangnan woman a year later, violating the Heart Gu and not dying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This shows that there is still a hidden story in this whole thing that we don't know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yin Yin Nanfeng nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then she sighed: \"Mr. Zhang’s stories are always so interesting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Until the very last moment, you simply don't know the result.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I have to say, as a storyteller, this job has been done to the extreme.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Clearly, everything told is about the Nine Gates, yet they are all secrets that even you insiders don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In my opinion, at the next meeting of the Nine Gates, you, the president, really should ask them how many secrets the older generation is still hiding from everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yueshan didn't reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He was only the temporary president of the Nine Gates, and his role was to keep the Nine Gates from falling apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But times had long since changed, and the disintegration of the Nine Gates was sooner or later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By the time the new generation took over the Nine Gates, I’m afraid the system of the Nine Gates meeting would exist in name only.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That shy Huo Huo Hongxiu of the Huo family, the little playboy of the Xie family, they all looked like children.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in reality, they were all little wolf cubs hiding sharp claws!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Yueshan shook his head, driving these troublesome things out of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He began to empty everything and continued to listen to Zhang Lin’s storytelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lin drank tea and rested his voice, seeing that many people still had a confused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He slapped the wooden gavel, pulling everyone’s attention back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Everyone, if you can't figure it out, then don't think about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, the audience was a bit dissatisfied and started shouting one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sigh, Mr. Zhang, you can't leave this unexplained!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That’s right, Mr. Lewis discovered the secret of the Gu Miao?
