Chapter 199

Many people were still confused and didn't understand what Lewis had figured out?

Why did he feel he had discovered the biggest secret of the Gu Miao just by looking at the Heart Gu?

Seeing Zhang Lin stop to drink water and rest, Yin Nanfeng turned back to ask Zhang Yueshan.

"Sigh, you old immortal! You've lived a long time and seen a lot."

"Do you know what this means?"

Zhang Yueshan also frowned, not understanding the meaning of Zhang Lin's words.

Zhang Lin's storytelling always had its priorities.

He would often explain details he felt were relatively important in detail.

And things he felt were not very important, sometimes he wouldn't even mention.

For example, the matter of Hei Bei Lao Liu by the Jinshajiang River, Zhang Lin used a large space to tell it.

But the legendary representative event of Hei Bei Lao Liu, Zhang Lin didn't even mention it.

The most typical one is the origin of Hei Bei Lao Liu's name.

How did the two words 'Hei Bei' (Black Back) come about?

Could it be because Hei Bei Lao Liu's back was particularly black, so he got this nickname?

Actually, it wasn't that, but one time Hei Bei Lao Liu came out of a tomb after raiding it.

He suddenly felt something on his shoulder that he couldn't pull off no matter what.

From then on, there was a black handprint on Hei Bei Lao Liu's shoulder, and that's how the nickname 'Hei Bei' came about!

Zhang Lin really hadn't mentioned this part at all.

But it was precisely after he talked about the habits Hei Bei Lao Liu developed as the number one blade master by the Jinshajiang River that those in the Laojiu Sect who knew about the black handprint felt it was even more terrifying to think about!

Hei Bei Lao Liu's habit as a blade master was not to show his back to others.

So he was most alert about his own back!

But even so, he didn't notice that there was something on his back after coming out of the tomb!

Then what exactly this thing that left the black handprint on him was remained to be considered.

Looking at it now, this thing was definitely not a human!

If it were a human, Hei Bei Lao Liu's blade would have already shaved the top of his head; he wouldn't have given him a chance to put it on his shoulder!

It was precisely because Zhang Lin told of Hei Bei Lao Liu's habits that this matter became even more legendary and unpredictable.

Now the same method was used on Wu Laogou.

Wu Laogou's name indicates that he raised many dogs, and the story of Wu Laogou and those dogs of his, if told, would also be very vivid.

But Zhang Lin ignored it directly and chose to tell a past event of the Miao frontier that the Laojiu Sect had never even heard of.

And he put a large amount of space on this Western doctor, Lewis.

This shows that Lewis must be the most critical link in the whole thing!

Now Zhang Lin said that Lewis felt he had discovered the biggest secret of the Gu Miao.

It is possible that this is the important reason why Wu Laogou was finally spared from death!

Zhang Yueshan took advantage of the time Zhang Lin was drinking tea and catching his breath to go over all the segments after Lewis appeared.

Only then did he say somewhat uncertainly, "I have a guess, but it's not necessarily correct."

Yin Nanfeng's eyes lit up immediately, and she said quickly, "Tell me, I'm extremely curious!"

"I have a flaw; when listening to stories or watching movies, I like to be spoiled."

"It's best to tell me first whether the ending is good or bad, so I can watch it with peace of mind!"

Zhang Yueshan ignored Yin Nanfeng's little hobby and said thoughtfully, "Lan Ling said that there is only one Heart Gu in the whole clan!"

"It was passed down from before, and the clan studied it for several generations without penetrating it."

"And the use of the Heart Gu is very different from their current Gu sorcery."

"I boldly guess that this Heart Gu might be a Gu sorcery more profound than the Gu sorcery of these Mengli Miao people!"

"If you have to compare, then maybe one is the ancestor and one is the descendant."

"Or to put it more bluntly, the Gu sorcery of the Mengli people is actually imitating this Heart Gu."

"But unfortunately, I don't know the reason, but they can't imitate it at all!"

"Eventually, in the process of imitation, the Gu sorcery used today was gradually formed!"

After hearing this guess, Yin Nanfeng's heart also stirred, and then she said, "If what you say is right, I think the key to this Heart Gu should be in those two red and white thin threads!"

"Lan Ling also said that the people in the clan didn't figure out what kind of creature that was!"

"Note that she used the word 'creature'; this is actually very formal language."

"Lan Ling just started learning Chinese; being able to use this word shows that there is no better description for those red and white thin threads!"

"This thing is an unknown creature, but it is definitely not something like an insect."

Speaking of this, Yin Nanfeng suddenly gave a surprised 'Yi'.

Then she said, "I know! The reason why 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!"

"If this Heart Gu is much more profound 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!"

Zhang Yueshan also nodded; he felt that the combination of these guesses by Yin Nanfeng and himself should be the truth of the matter.

Moreover, if the Gu sorcery of the Heart Gu is really more advanced than that of the Mengli people.

Then it would be easy to crack the Gu planted on Wu Laogou by the Mengli clan leader!

However, there was still one doubt in this; Zhang Yueshan still didn't understand.

So he asked somewhat doubtfully, "If our guess is correct, then how was Wu Laogou's Heart Gu undone?"

"The advanced one can naturally undo the low-level one, so the Gu planted on him by the clan leader is no longer a problem, but what about the Heart Gu?"

"The Heart Gu is a more high-end Gu sorcery. Lan Ling, as the user of the Heart Gu in this generation, only knows how to use it but not how to undo it. I think Lewis shouldn't have the ability to completely crack the Heart Gu either!"

"Yet Wu Laogou married a Jiangnan woman a year later, violating the Heart Gu and not dying."

"This shows that there is still a hidden story in this whole thing that we don't know!"

Hearing this, Yin Nanfeng also nodded thoughtfully.

Then she sighed, "Mr. Zhang's stories are always so interesting!"

"Until the last moment, you never know the result."

"I have to say, as a storyteller, this job has been done to the extreme."

"Clearly, he is talking about the affairs of the Laojiu Sect, but they are all secrets that you yourselves don't know."

"In my opinion, at the next meeting of the Nine Sects, you, the president, should really ask them how many secrets the older generation is still hiding from everyone!"

Zhang Yueshan didn't reply.

He was only the interim president of the Nine Sects, and his role was to keep the Laojiu Sect from falling apart.

But now the times have long since changed, and the disintegration of the Laojiu Sect is only a matter of time.

By the time the new generation takes over the Laojiu Sect, I'm afraid the system of the Nine Sects meetings will exist in name only.

That shy Huo Hongxiu of the Huo family, the little prodigal of the Xie family, they all look like children.

But in reality, they are all little wolf cubs with hidden claws!

Zhang Yueshan shook his head and drove these troublesome things out of his mind.

He began to empty everything and continued to listen to Zhang Lin's storytelling.

……

Zhang Lin drank tea and rested his voice, seeing that many people still had a confused expression.

He slapped the wooden gavel, pulling everyone's attention back.

"Everyone, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it."

Hearing this, the audience was somewhat dissatisfied and began to clamor.

"Sigh, Mr. Zhang, you can't leave this unexplained!"

"That's right, Mr. Lewis discovered the secret of the Gu Miao? What secret?"

"I have a quick temper; I'm really anxious to know how Master Gou Wu got out of trouble!"

"Also, what is the secret of the Gu Miao?"

Zhang Lin raised his hand to soothe everyone and continued, "Everyone, in fact, the secret Lewis discovered is already in plain sight!"

"It's that extremely unique Heart Gu!"

"Let me tell you all about this Heart Gu; it carries one of the biggest secrets in this world!"

"Its existence is also related to the secret in the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish."
