Three o'clock in the morning.

Tang Xiaosheng and Ren Biying took a car together and went to Nanfeng Mountain. In order not to reveal her true identity, Ren Biying still wore a human skin mask on her face, and Tang Xiaosheng also wore a human skin mask that Xiao Zhao usually carried.

In the past half a year, Ren Biying, Xiao Zhao and others have been living in the city with human skin masks, and most of these skin masks are made by Ren Biying.

Regarding Ren Biying's ability to change faces, Tang Xiaosheng was not too surprised. Because in September last year, in order to explain to Wang Yuyan, Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min, and Ren Biying that he was not Murong Fu's business, he took out the booklet of "The Secret Art of Disguise" left by A Zhu as evidence. Therefore, this booklet of "The Secret Art of Disguise", Wang Yuyan, Ren Biying, Xiaolongnu and Zhao Min have all read it, if they want to learn the art of disguise, it is naturally not difficult.

To Tang Xiaosheng's surprise, Ren Biying's disguise technique was even better than he imagined. Although she learned the disguise technique more than half a year later than Tang Xiaosheng, her disguise level was not inferior to Tang Xiaosheng at all, plus her heart was more delicate, and she even did a better job than Tang Xiaosheng in the handling of some details.

And tonight, Ren Yingying used the disguise technique to transform Xiao Zhao into a white child, in order to prevent Xiao Zhao from being recognized by Tang Xiaosheng, she specially spent a lot of thought on the details of the disguise, and the final disguise effect was also very ideal, enough to confuse the real with the fake. Ren Biying felt that Tang Xiaosheng should not be able to see the flaws, but she didn't expect Xiao Zhao to be exposed in the end.

It is precisely because of this that on the way to Nanfeng Mountain, Ren Biying asked curiously while driving: "Brother Tang, how did you recognize Xiao Zhao?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng replied: "The disguise you made for Xiao Zhao is perfect, there are almost no flaws, and I didn't notice it at all. It's just that I later saw Xiao Zhao's calf and found out her identity. ”

"Xiao Zhao's calves?" To this answer of his. Ren Biying was very surprised, and asked strangely, "Brother Tang, do you know Xiao Zhao's calves very well?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng shook his head: "I don't understand." Just over two years ago, when I was filming "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" with her. Saw it once. ”

Ren Biying asked strangely: "I saw it once more than two years ago." You haven't forgotten it yet? ”

Tang Xiaosheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled, but did not answer, but turned his mouth and asked, "Yingying, why do you live in this dilapidated house in the western suburbs?" I lived in this house for six years. I didn't move out until more than three years ago. Just now I looked at the furnishings in the private house, and found that it is almost exactly the same as three years ago, without any changes, did you do it? ”

Ren Biying's thin lips pursed slightly, and she hesitated. Nod your head slightly.

She was able to keep this house in its original state, and it is estimated that this house has never been rented to anyone else, so Tang Xiaosheng asked: "Three years ago, after I moved out of this house, was this house rented by you?" You've been renting this house for more than three years, right? ”

Ren Biying's willow eyebrows moved slightly, and she didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Why do you want to rent this shabby house?" Tang Xiaosheng asked puzzledly, this private house is poorly equipped and extremely poorly hygienic. There are also rats and cockroaches from time to time, and it is impossible to live at all.

Ren Biying was silent for a while, and asked softly, "Brother Tang, I'll tell you this question later, okay?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng felt that Ren Biying seemed to be hiding a lot of things. It's just that he didn't want to force the question, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

When talking about this, the car had already arrived at the foot of Nanfeng Mountain. After that, the two got out of the car together. By the light of the moon, the two performed light skills and hiked up the mountain.

On the way up the mountain. Tang Xiaosheng was also quite emotional in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the scene when he went up the mountain with Xiaolongnu and other eight people half a year ago, at that time, he thought that he would lose them forever. Unexpectedly, after half a year, everyone came back again.

Since the two of them went up the mountain with light work, they reached the top of the mountain in a few minutes. When they were about to go to the secret cave at the top of the mountain, they unexpectedly found a fire in the pine forest near the secret cave.

In the middle of the night, how can there be fire in the pine forest?

Out of curiosity, Tang Xiaosheng and Ren Biying quietly swept towards the location of the fire in the woods. After reaching about 300 meters, the two of them hid behind a rock on the west side of the pine forest, less than fifty meters away from the fire.

Tang Xiaosheng stared at the firelight, and found that there was a bonfire rising in the pine forest, and next to the bonfire, a young woman in red clothes was sitting. She held a small twig in her hand, and from time to time she stirred it in the fire, as if she was roasting something.

At this time, Tang Xiaosheng sniffed lightly on the tip of his nose, and suddenly smelled a faint aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, and he realized that the woman in red was roasted sweet potatoes in the pine forest.

"Who is this woman in red?" Tang Xiaosheng carefully looked at the appearance of the woman beside the bonfire, and felt very strange and did not know her.

"Brother Tang, she is Miss Zhao." Ren Biying on the side said softly, "Miss Zhao is also wearing a human skin mask. ”

"She's Minmin?" Tang Xiaosheng was overjoyed, he hadn't seen her for more than half a year, he missed her, frowned, and asked suspiciously, "Why is Min Min alone here in the middle of the night roasting sweet potatoes?" ”

Ren Biying turned her head, looked at Tang Xiaosheng, and said, "Brother Tang, you shouldn't know the reason for the Dao, right?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng's heart moved, and he didn't speak.

Ren Biying continued: "Since the eight of us left together on the night of the Lantern Festival, Brother Tang, you suddenly have an extra hobby, which is to eat sweet potatoes every day or two. At first, we didn't know why you suddenly liked sweet potatoes so much, until later, Miss Zhao told us that it turned out that you ate sweet potatoes because of her. ”

Two years ago, on one occasion, Zhao Min used a trick to trick Tang Xiaosheng into the pine forest of Nanfeng Mountain, and then roasted sweet potatoes for Tang Xiaosheng to eat. At that time, in order to force Tang Xiaosheng to eat her roasted sweet potatoes, she also lied that Tang Xiaosheng had been hit by her "piercing intestines" and had to eat sweet potatoes to be able to detoxify. In the end, Tang Xiaosheng ate her roasted sweet potato.

This was a trivial matter, and even Zhao Min himself couldn't remember it.

It's just that after Zhao Min and the other eight people left on the night of the Lantern Festival, Tang Xiaosheng suddenly had an extra habit in terms of diet - eating sweet potatoes. Just like he used to eat instant noodles, he started eating sweet potatoes every few days, as if he was addicted, and he has been doing so for more than half a year.

After discovering his strange eating habits, Zhao Min suddenly remembered that she had personally roasted sweet potatoes for Tang Xiaosheng in the pine forest of Nanfeng Mountain. After thinking of this, Zhao Min realized that Tang Xiaosheng's habit was originally because of her.

"Brother Tang, you eat sweet potatoes. Is it because you miss Miss Zhao? Ren Biying asked softly.

Tang Xiaosheng did not answer.

Ren Biying's beautiful eyes flashed. He didn't ask any questions, and continued: "It's not the first time that Miss Zhao has come here to bake sweet potatoes, as far as I know, she has come several times. Although she never said what she was here to bake sweet potatoes for, I know that she came because she missed you. Miss Zhao has actually always wanted to meet you. But in the end, I didn't go to you. Do you know what the Tao is for? ”

Tang Xiaosheng sank and said, "Because of Zhang Wuji." ”

Bi Ying nodded and explained, "In her body." There are also two souls. Zhao Min's soul loves Zhang Wuji, but Zhao Ming's soul loves you. When she loves you, she will feel betrayed by Zhang Wuji, and she will feel very guilty in her heart. It's the other way around, when she is in love with Zhang Wuji. I will feel that I have betrayed you, and my heart is also awkward. Anyway, just because there are two souls, falling in love with two men, it makes everything wrong with what you do, love is not, love is not, it is not good to be separated, and it is not easy to love together. So I could only endure it silently. Not only Zhao Min is like this, but Xiaolongnu and Dongfang are the same. That's why they haven't been looking for you for half a year......"

"Woo~~"

As he spoke, there was a faint sobbing sound in the pine forest.

Tang Xiaosheng condensed his voice, followed the reputation, and found the crying person. It turned out to be Zhao Min. I saw her sitting alone by the campfire, her expression sad, although she choked up, but hot tears continued to overflow from the corners of her eyes. Gliding across her delicate cheeks, drop by drop fell to the ground. Her pearl-like tears. In the light of the fire, it shone with a cold light.

Tang Xiaosheng didn't know what Zhao Min was crying for, maybe because of him, maybe because of Zhang Wuji. What is certain is that she must have been very painful and entangled in her heart at this time.

Seeing Zhao Min crying sadly alone, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but want to step forward to comfort her, but Ren Biying, who was beside him, stopped him in time and reminded softly: "Brother Tang, if you go out to comfort her now, not only will it not help her, but it will make her more painful." ”

Tang Xiaosheng was stunned and understood what Ren Biying meant. Although Zhao Min has affection for him, it is impossible for Zhao Min to betray Zhang Wuji, so she is unwilling to meet Tang Xiaosheng now, let alone fall in love with him.

After about half an hour, the firewood from the bonfire in the pine forest was almost burned, and Zhao Min's mood finally calmed down a little. After a few moments, she suddenly extinguished the campfire, wiped the corners of her eyes, wiped away her tears, and then stood up and walked down the hill alone.

Tang Xiaosheng watched her leave quietly until her lonely figure disappeared into the blurred mountains.

After Zhao Min left, Tang Xiaochang let out a long sigh and said, "How did you do this?" I knew that Lu Dao would be this kind of result, I might as well not expose my fake identity at the beginning, at least Min Min and the others would not be so uncomfortable, and they were entangled even when they saw me. ”

At the beginning, when Tang Xiaosheng had not revealed his identity as a fake traverser to everyone, although Xiaolongnu, Zhao Min and others were also a little entangled, at least everyone still had talk, laughter, and hope, not as entangled, lonely and desperate as they are now.

Now Zhao Min not only knows that he can no longer return to the original world and will never see Zhang Wuji, but also knows that he can't betray Zhang Wuji and can never love Tang Xiaosheng again. As for where she should go and what she can expect in the future, Zhao Min was confused in her heart and couldn't see it clearly at all.

Ren Biying said: "In the past half a year or so, Miss Zhao, Miss Long, and Miss Dongfang have been depressed every day, and they have been very unhappy, almost never laughing, and their bodies are also a lot haggard. The reason why they are like this is all because they are in love with two people, they are in an extremely contradictory state, and they don't know how to face their feelings. ”

Tang Xiaosheng frowned and fell into thought.

Ren Biying was silent for a while, and said softly: "Brother Tang, there is actually a way to help Miss Zhao and Miss Long. ”

When Tang Xiaosheng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately asked, "Do you have a way?" ”

Ren Biying nodded and said, "Brother Tang, think about it carefully, what is the greatest wish of Miss Zhao and Miss Long?" ”

"Greatest wish?" Tang Xiaosheng thought for a while and replied, "Their greatest wish should be to go back to the original martial arts world and find Yang Guo and Zhang Wuji and others. ”

"It's not." Ren Biying shook her head and explained, "Miss Zhao's biggest wish now should be that you and Zhang Wuji become the same person; Miss Long's biggest wish now should be that you and Yang Guo become the same person; The biggest wish of the Oriental girl now should be that you and Ling Hu Chong become the same person. Because then they don't have to worry about falling in love with two men at the same time, because the two men they love have become the same person. ”

Tang Xiaosheng's eyelids blinked, he understood a little, and sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have the souls of Yang Guo, Zhang Wuji and Ling Hu Chong at all. ”

Ren Biying reminded in a soft voice: "Brother Tang, although you don't have the souls of Yang Guo, Zhang Wuji, Ling Huchong and others, you can pretend to have these souls as before, and pretend to be a traverser to deceive Miss Zhao and Miss Long." ”

"Pretending to be a traverser?" Tang Xiaosheng asked puzzledly, "Yingying, are you mistaken?" I have confessed to all of you more than half a year ago about pretending to be a traverser, and the identity of the impostor has been exposed, how to impersonate? ”

Ren Biying didn't seem to think that this problem was a big deal, and said, "Brother Tang, since you lied to them once, you can deceive them a second time, and you can try to pretend to be again." ”

Tang Xiaosheng scratched his head and said, "Yingying, this is a bit difficult!" Min Min and Long Er know everything about me, and it is unlikely that they will succeed in deceiving them again. ”

Ren Biying looked confident, and said calmly: "Brother Tang, if you are really willing to pretend to be a traverser to deceive them again, I think I should be able to help you." ”

"Huh?" Tang Xiaosheng frowned, and suddenly couldn't understand Ren Biying's behavior, coughed clearly, and asked, "Yingying, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?" How do I feel like I've fallen into your trap? ”

Ren Biying smiled lightly and said, "Brother Tang, are you still afraid that I will harm you?" ”

"Not really! Well, you say, come and listen, how to pretend to be a traverser to trick them again? ”

"Let's go to the secret cave first, I have something very important to tell you."

So, Tang Xiaosheng and Ren Yingying left the pine forest together and entered the secret cave of Nanfeng Mountain.
