After saying goodbye to Fourth Brother Jin, I returned to the basement of the old man's villa.

This time, I honestly read my notes, learned skills, and never dared to be lazy again. Not only did the disgusting smell of horse urine and the heart-rending pain stimulate me, but it was also the words of Fourth Brother Jin that woke me up.

If you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and when you need real skills, I'm ashamed to think of taking shortcuts!

For ten days, I stayed in the basement and never went out! Every day, the swallows brought food and drink to the basement door, and I submerged myself in those notes and props, constantly studying, trying, and understanding the wonders.

In the past ten days, I have been reversed day and night, almost sleeping very little time every day, and when I am tired, I will lie on the desk and sleep for a while, and I have never left the space of more than 50 square meters for half a step, and I have no distractions at all.

After a few days of hard work, I finally understood some of the mysterious concepts in those notes, and the "Zhou Yi" frequently mentioned in the notes is an ancient Chinese philosophical book, which is based on the dualism of yin and yang to demonstrate and describe the laws of the operation of things. It classifies the traits of all things in heaven and earth, and the theory of the five elements of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and is even accurate enough to make more accurate predictions about the future development of things.

In the beginning, this was a point that puzzled me. Why do you have to stick a skin on your face and have to be linked to yin and yang?

But after watching it for so many days, I finally understood.

The human skin tool in the box was far from being as crude and rudimentary as it was commonly found on the market. The kind of human skin mask that Fourth Brother Jin helped me get at the beginning should be a technique that was circulated among the people in the early days. But the limitations of that approach are so great that it's almost like "learning from the same." ”

For example, if you are pretending to be Zhang San today, then invite Zhang San and let him sit on his back for more than an hour, put all the things on his face, and then pour a yin mold.

After the completion of the female mold, the first step is born. Then, the second step is to turn out a real plaster image of the human face on the female model, correct the plaster with plastic clay, and finally blow the mask into a mask, and then polish and color it for further processing.

How to say it, the previous method can also make a human skin mask that is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, but it is very blunt, and the veteran can see the authenticity at a glance. And in this box of treasures left to me by the old man, most of the notes are about "yin and yang, balance, and integrity." "Here's where the difference lies!

The human skin mask in this box is about being flawless, truly becoming a "person" from the perspective of "people" and imitating "people".

What impressed me the most was the words that the old man had marked in black pencil next to the original notes.

"The same person is in the sect, and he is stingy. Fu Rong is reckless, and the enemy is also strong. Ascend to its high tomb, "three years old is not prosperous", and Anxing is also. Multiply its Yong, Yi Fuke also. Its "auspicious" is sleepy and the opposite. ”

This sentence seems to be plain, and the old man marked it seriously on the side: "Between heaven and earth, the fundamental way is infernal affairs." Speculation, cunning, ease, convenience, all will be gone, but they will be short-lived. Only by walking the straightest road, although bumpy, but forging ahead will be reached. ”

I used to think that it was very fun and enjoyable to follow the old man, but it was not until today that I truly understood that the best experience and the most worthwhile effort is to be for what I think and believe!

In the past ten days, I have tried the human skin mask many times, and I have frequently tested myself, which makes my face a little itchy, I look at the ancient mirror, and it seems to be a little red rash!

But I can't take care of it so much, and if you take down the Bird Gate, you must learn the disguise technique.

On the tenth day, I quietly walked out of the basement, and when I saw the sun for the first time after ten days, I felt a little like crying......

I silently walked to Swallow's room, where she was using PS to modify the pattern.

"This young lady, are you Wen Yan?"

"Ahh

I laughed, "It's me, Swallow, you can't even hear me?"

The swallow was stunned for a moment. Look me up and down carefully: "Xiao Feng?"

"It's me, it's me, the little junior brother who shares the ups and downs with you!"

"Oh, your skills are good, even I'm stunned!" the swallow walked over and shone on my shoulder.

"It hurts! you're still ruthless!" I complained to the swallow.

"It's not that I said, you're doing a good job this time," Swallow said as she started to tear my face.

"What are you doing?" I dodged with a smile, and she pounced.

"This is my real face, I can't tear it off!" I smiled mysteriously.

"It's really exactly the same as leather......." Yanzi was still sighing, "You get a Wu Yifan and let me have fun!"

"Go, come less, I'm going to get down to business!"

Swallow rolled my eyes and continued to P her own picture.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"PS, you haven't used it!" "Swallow scolded me angrily.

"Why do you want to photoshop?" I stared at the screen, it was a bank transfer slip, and the swallow was dropping the numbers and date on it little by little.

"Gee, I've got my own use. ”

"Sister Yanzi, come with me to do some work. I need you. ”

Swallow's eyes removed from the screen: "What's the job?"

"Hehe, do you remember the last time we went to the house with a drone?"

"Well, I have the impression that I was scared half to death by the uncle behind my back!"

"Yes, yes, there it is!"

"I'm not good at playing with that drone, you can follow me again. ”

"Okay!" Yanzi readily agreed, "That guy doesn't look simple, and besides, he cheated your second uncle out of so much money, I can't let them go!"

"Chengyi, I like your chivalrous spirit!"

Swallow and I went back to the alley of the Bird Gate.

What's going on today? Swallow and I looked at each other.

There are a lot of things in this ancient alley, and the gate of the big mansion in the gate of the bird gate is open, and the people inside are bustling with people......

"Xiao Feng, this posture is not good to use drones, it will definitely be discovered, they are too scattered today. ”

I nodded, "Why don't I try it?" I'm transfiguring it today, and there's no risk of going in!"

"There's only one way, but what's the point?" the swallow looked at me worriedly.

"Let's deliver takeaways, Sister Yanzi, go to the alley next door to help me buy twelve cages of crab roe buns." ”

"No problem, wait!"

My cat was at the end of the alley, observing the gang.

The alley was almost full of their things, all chairs, lanterns, red tablecloths and so on, I saw that there was no one around, and I approached the lantern to take a look, and there was a huge word "Shou" on it.

Could it be that Wu Da is going to celebrate his birthday? I was muttering in my heart when the swallow came back from the other side of the alley.

"Here, I also asked you for a vest, it's more like this!"

"It's really my sister, I love you to death!"

"Don't be poor, I look at this posture, who are they going to give their birthday?"

I nodded: "Yes, this battle is estimated to be Wu Da." ”

After I explained to Yanzi, I put on a takeaway vest and confidently stepped into the mansion of Bird's Gate.

There were about eleven or twelve people standing in the courtyard, and everyone was busy with their own work, and everyone looked up at me!

I mustered up my courage and walked into the hall in a few steps, and wow! This hall is very luxuriously furnished, and I am very attentive!

A large red character "Shou" is placed in the center of the hall, and every window and table corner is pasted or hung with a small "Shou" character, the atmosphere is strong, the wall is full of colored lights, and a huge LED screen is playing.

That picture should be the history of the development of the Bird Gate, from the first black and white photos, there are only Wu Da and the other two people in it, to the color photos at the back, there are more and more people, and the portal is getting bigger and bigger.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" a loud shout came out behind me.

I turned my head to see that it was the bald head! Grandma's, I know this guy who turned to ashes! It was he who lied to me and my second uncle from beginning to end.

I pretended to have an innocent and confused expression: "This big brother, you ordered twelve soup dumplings, I just came in and asked, but the big guys are busy, no one cares about me, I can't carry it all the time, it's cold......"

"What soup dumplings?" the bald head came over to check what I had in my hands.

"That's it, crab roe, beef, chicken...... They are the most expensive, and my boss also specifically instructed me to deliver them to the door of the customer, because you order the most. ”

The bald head tore open the bag and looked at it for a while: "Which of you ordered the soup dumplings?"

Several people in the courtyard looked at each other and shook their heads.

"You sent it wrong, right?"

"No, Nine Alleys, 1-502. ”

"This is Jiuqu Lane! Jiuhui Lane is the one next door, and the young people nowadays are all confused...... "The bald head looked disgusted.

"Let's go, get out of here!"

I left the Bird Gate Mansion with a bun in my hand.

"How?" asked Swallow with concern.

"It seems that today is a big day for the Bird Gate!"
