What was going on, and why did this happen? Li Cheng couldn't figure it out.

When he returned to the room, his body was shaken, whether it was the impurities attached to him or the clothes he was wearing, he was shocked away from his body, and then he wrapped the clothes and impurities together, and took out a new set of clothes from the storage ring and put them on.

glanced at the bed, pulled it down directly, and threw it away with the dirty clothes, anyway, the Wang family did not lack this bedding.

Wang Fa was still asleep, Li Cheng found a quiet place, took out the black scale sword and began to practice basic swordsmanship. After waiting for a little enthusiasm on his body, he turned to practice various combat skills, just simple moves, and did not use vitality.

Even so, the shadow of the sword was flying, and the messy sword body reflected the birds in the sky, the flowers and plants on the ground, and the stone table and stone bench next to it, as if it would be cut in two as soon as it came into contact with the sword.

"The virtuous nephew can have the current achievements, and it is inseparable from his own diligence!" Wang Mang walked over and said to Li Cheng, and counted down his unsuccessful son.

According to the seniority, Wang Mang can indeed be his elder, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a virtuous nephew, and Li Cheng also gladly accepted it.

He was humble for a while, and exchanged cultivation with Wang Mang again, but most of them were Wang Mang instructing Li Cheng. Wang Mang was shocked by Li Cheng's inferences, and Li Cheng satisfied Wang Mang's mastery of ten thousand laws. The two talked happily, and finally Wang Mang left with a smile.

Sure enough, although time may not necessarily increase people's strength, it can enrich people's experience and gain a lot of insights. For example, Wang Mang is not good at swordsmanship, but because he is well-informed, there is no shortage of people who are much stronger than Li Cheng, so he can also point out his own shortcomings in kendo.

On the morning of the third day, Li Cheng and Wang Mang waited for the arrival of Ling Huji early, and he pretended to be Wang Fa again. Wang Mang ordered Wang Fa not to appear, mainly because his son was too unreliable, and he didn't know what to do when he went to do business.

And before that, something happened that made Li Cheng very depressed:

Wang Fa touched Li Cheng's human skin mask, and exclaimed: "It feels like this, it is exactly the same as real human skin, and it has two more textures, and there are no traces on the face at all, I can't tell the truth at all, and I don't know what material it is made of." ”

Wang Mang had already observed this before, and said with a smile: "Li Cheng's mask is not ordinary, and the master who refines this mask must have a great background. ”

Li Cheng asked, "Why do you say this?"

"This mask, if I expected it to be good, is made from the skins of thousands of living people and special materials, which is why it is so malleable and changeable. However, it is enough to have the faces of a thousand living people, and the person who refined this mask does not know how hard and hard-hearted he is, so that he can do such a tragic thing without changing his face. Wang Mang sighed.

Li Cheng stared at his round eyes and said incredulously, "You mean, this mask is made of real people's faces?"

"You don't know? I thought you could wear a mask safely because you knew it, that you had such a strong heart and would not be intimidated by this mask. This mask is a thousand faces, and it can be kneaded into a thousand face shapes. ”

"There's a fart heart. Damn three old guys, they actually lied to me. Li Cheng's face changed drastically, and he could no longer look directly at this human skin mask.

It was almost noon when Ling Hu's convoy came to Wang's house, and the leader was Ling Huji.

Putting everything down, Ling Huji's face was very bad, so he took people and wanted to leave, Wang Mang shouted: "Slow." ”

"Is there anything else?" said Ling Huji.

"There is indeed one more thing I want to ask the three masters. ”

"Tell me something quickly, what's the ink!" Ling Huji said impatiently, he didn't have a good impression of the entire Wang family now, and if he could, he would definitely make everyone pay a heavy price.

Wang Mang said: "You can follow me into the house first, drink a cup of tea, and discuss something with you by the way." ”

Linghu Ji frowned: "I'm still waiting for the Linghu clan to return to life, and I don't have so much leisure to drink tea with you." ”

"Don't regret it!" Wang Mang smiled: "After all, this matter has a major relationship with you, if something happens in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

Ling Huji looked at Wang Mang and wanted to observe something, but Wang Mang always had a smile on his face, without a trace of impatience. It made him think to himself, didn't he have some handle in his hand, but he hadn't done anything recently?

Seeing that Wang Mang was so confident that he could leave his appearance, Ling Hu Ji's heart was uncertain, so he had to let the disciples of the Ling Hu clan wait here for a while, and let Wang Mang be at the mercy: "Since the head of the Wang family has said so, I can't refute your face, please." ”

"Please. Wang Mang showed the way for Ling Huji and took him to the conference hall, followed by Li Cheng, who pretended to be Wang Fa, and made a cup of tea for Ling Huji.

Ling Huji glanced at Li Cheng, he didn't have a good impression of this presumptuous kid, snatched the teacup from Li Cheng's hand, and said lightly: "Your noble son, how can you bother him to do what this subordinate should do, or I will do it myself." ”

Wang Mang said with a smile: "It's all small and ignorant. As his elder, it is natural for you to pour tea, so you don't have to worry about him anymore. ”

Linghu Ji snorted coldly, and ignored Li Cheng, Li Chengding's two words made him very unhappy before, how could he communicate calmly with the other party, and said to Wang Mang: "Isn't there something you want to tell me?" ”

Wang Mang glanced at Li Cheng, Li Cheng nodded, so Wang Mang said: "I heard that many sects have thoughts about the Nine Shadows Sect recently, I wonder if the Linghu Clan has ever thought of stepping into it?"

"Ahem. Ling Huji choked on the tea he drank and stared at Wang Mang: "This matter was instructed by His Majesty the Great Yan Dynasty, I can't refuse if I want to!

"Naturally not, if there were, how could I still ask you. Wang Mang said: "Sometimes I wonder if the Wang family can't get into the eyes of His Majesty at all, and such a major event is not notified, giving me the opportunity to make contributions." ”

"It's not just you, Your Majesty just picked a few of them, which is enough to put the Nine Shadows Sect into a place of no return. ”

Ling Huji looked at Wang Mang strangely: "What do you mean by asking? Could it be that you have heard some gossip, so you want to get in and get a piece of the pie?"

Then he laughed: "This can be regarded as Your Majesty's property, if you intervene in privately, you will not give Your Majesty face and want to take away Your Majesty's wealth." I didn't expect the shrewd head of the Wang family to be so confused in the face of such a temptation. ”
