The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 253: The irrelevant
Qiu Qianchi did not deliberately whisper her instructions to her subordinates, and Wu Chengyu, with his excellent hearing, heard them clearly.

Wu Chengyu's mood became somewhat irritable. It was truly a shameless female bully who had ruined a bowl of excellent mutton stew. He had no appetite at all now.

It's certain that a woman like Qiu Qianchi, relying on her brother Qiu Qianren, acts arrogantly and causes trouble, but she can't be considered utterly wicked or wicked.

In the original novel, aside from marrying a scumbag and becoming a jealous and vicious woman, and suffering for decades, there was no record of her committing any other evil deeds. She was also a pitiful person.

Besides, she was only attracted to Wu Chengyu's beauty and didn't do anything else, so Wu Chengyu really couldn't bring herself to kill her with a single slap.

Moreover, Gongsun Zhi, the number one scumbag in Condor Heroes, would have no way to hurt each other in the future without Qiu Qianchi. Wu Chengyu couldn't just get rid of her for a moment and let Gongsun Zhi live a carefree life. Wu Chengyu really didn't want to let him get away with it.

So this kind of trouble is like leftover chewing gum on the ground; once you step on it, it's hard to clean up. If you can't afford to offend her, you can only avoid her. If you keep getting entangled with this woman, Wu Chengyu is really afraid that he won't be able to resist using the Nine Yin Divine Claw.

He immediately put down the money, turned around and left the restaurant. Sure enough, there were two people left at the restaurant entrance. When they saw Wu Chengyu, they looked at him with hostility, as if they were looking at a useless pretty boy. They didn't even pretend, and just sneered and swaggered behind Wu Chengyu.

Unfortunately, if Wu Chengyu wanted to hide, even the Five Greats couldn't keep up with him. He simply made a few quick movements at the end of the street and the end of the alley, and he was out of their sight.

Then he found an inn near the Great Ci'en Temple and booked a superior room. There was something he hadn't had time to study since last night, and he urgently needed a quiet place.

After dealing with the trio of bandits in the most ruthless way, the revenge for his father Wu Zhengkang from his previous life was finally achieved, and the bamboo slips also gave him a new reward.

The name of the reward was familiar, and Wu Chengyu was already used to it and had no time to complain. But when he saw it for the first time, he was still startled.

This reward is called "Donkey's Lips Escape," but it would be better to call it "Stupidity Plus Slowness."

Just looking at the name, Wu Chengyu racked his brains but couldn't figure out what this thing was. He could guess something from the names of the previous rewards, but what kind of escape technique could a donkey's lips possibly develop? Bamboo Scroll, you've gone too far.

After he ranted and complained for a while, he continued reading.

The phrase "donkey's lips don't match a horse's mouth" originally meant giving an irrelevant answer or that two things were incompatible. By using such irrelevant language to influence someone's subconscious, one can gradually make them behave in ways that are inconsistent with one's own personality, thus indirectly controlling them. This change is subtle and imperceptible.

Wu Chengyu now understood that "Donkey Lips Escape" could actually be called "Talk-no-Jutsu," which is somewhat similar to the ninjutsu developed by Naruto in Naruto. However, Naruto's Talk-no-Jutsu uses chakra combined with the natural energy of Sage Mode to destroy the enemy's five senses.

From hearing to sight, then the opponent's lips are permanently closed, sealing off their sense of taste, followed by their sense of smell and perception, until they lose all ability to defend themselves and become completely at the mercy of others.

The "donkey lip escape" technique provided by the bamboo slips involves using the throat to emit ultrasonic waves while speaking, subtly influencing the other person's subconscious mind through language, and gradually changing their behavior. This is actually somewhat similar to hypnosis.

Similar techniques also exist in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, such as the Soul Transfer Technique in the Nine Yin Manual, or Elder Peng's Mind Control Technique in the Beggar Clan, which are legitimate hypnosis techniques.

However, both of these techniques are only effective while being used; they lose their effectiveness once the use stops, making them very limited. Moreover, if broken, they immediately backfire. The Donkey Lips Escape Technique, on the other hand, doesn't produce immediate results, but it can keep the opponent in a subconsciously guided state for a long time, making it quite versatile.

Wu Chengyu had always possessed the cultivation method for the Soul Transfer Technique, but he simply hadn't had the time to practice it.

This guy has always had a cruel side to his personality. In the past, he preferred physical torture when interrogating people, and his methods were quite vicious. That's how the chain of life and death was invented. He never thought of using the soul-shifting technique to interrogate prisoners.

However, this "donkey's lips escape technique" did attract Wu Chengyu's interest, and of course, Wu Chengyu resolutely renamed it "mouth escape technique".

His first thought was to use it for training soldiers. If the trainer used persuasive techniques during training to subconsciously influence the soldiers' thinking, making them more loyal, brave, and united, then such a skill could be called god-level.

Unfortunately, he can't go back to see Yan Chunyu yet. This kind of skill can't be taught to just anyone, otherwise it would cause chaos. So for now, he can only practice on his own for fun.

Following the instructions on the bamboo slips, he learned the art of persuasion little by little, and the techniques were not difficult to master.

Especially for someone like him who has undergone a complete transformation, can see inside his body, and can control almost every part of his body, Wu Chengyu mastered it completely in just a few hours, unlike other rewarded skills that require years of practice.

By temporarily altering the structure of the throat during practice and coordinating with internal force to create special vibrations, ultrasonic waves can be emitted. These ultrasonic waves are integrated into the voice, and ordinary people will not notice anything amiss, inevitably falling victim to the attack without any warning.

Of course, the art of persuasion also has its drawbacks. For those with strong wills, it takes an extremely long time to be effective, and the results are not significant.

After practicing for a while, Wu Chengyu lost interest, mainly because there was no one for him to test the effects. However, looking at the sky, it was already late at night, so Wu Chengyu quietly left the inn.

He returned to the place where he had overheard the conversation between Jin spies the previous night—the small courtyard in the back alley of the brothel.

When he arrived at the place and, as usual, hid in a corner of the courtyard, he heard the angry and somewhat exasperated voice of the spy leader, Heishi Lie Liangping.

"They're all useless. The task was just assigned yesterday, and everything is ruined after just one night."

Especially Number Three, he's been hiding in that Taoist temple for years without incident. That temple has hundreds of skilled fighters; who could possibly have wiped them all out so silently? Number Four, you're in charge of investigating; give them a report.”

"Yes, leader. Almost all of our people in Songhe Temple are dead. The cause of death was that their necks were snapped by a heavy force. Everyone was killed almost instantly, without any chance to resist. Moreover, according to my observation, only one person did it."

“Listen to this, one person can kill all those warriors who can fight ten against one, without any chance of resistance. It must have been done by those so-called martial arts masters. These people are like lone wolves, who know when they will suddenly appear and bite us.”
