Chapter Eighty-Three: Transfiguration
Over the years, the image of the heroic mad stone has been sketched in my heart countless times, and even appeared in my dreams with an incomparably tall and brave image.
I thought that he should be as tall and majestic as the highest mountain in Jinling City, with muscles full of vigorous power like a cheetah, exuding a fierce aura like a wolf, and a pair of sharp eyes like a goshawk, perfect as the sun in the sky.
At the very least, it should be like what the storyteller described: a lion nose and a square mouth, a white face and a slight beard, and an awe-inspiring and righteous body.
However, at this moment, my dream fell gently to the ground and shattered. How much hope there was at the beginning, how disappointed I am now.
There was a person sitting at the back of my father's bookcase, but he was twenty-six or seven years old, under the reflection of a few luminous lights in front of the table, his face was like powder, his eyes were like a phoenix, and his eyes were like a stroke of genius. The most eye-catching thing is a little cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, scarlet and dripping, with three points of charm and three points of enchantment, which makes the whole face extraordinarily vivid and bright.
If you want to make an analogy, Brother Lin is a humble gentleman and gentle as jade; Cool words are green and arrogant, deep and mysterious like obsidian; And he is bewitching and bright, like a crystal and bewitching heirloom red crystal.
Boys and girls look like each other, bringing disaster to the country and the people.
He stared at me with interest, narrowed a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes dangerously, and said leisurely: "It's a pity that this flower and moon appearance turned out to be a stammer." ”
My word "stone" was still wrapped around the tip of my tongue, and I couldn't spit it out for a long time, so I could only give up in the end, and counterattacked: "The little girl was terrified, and when she saw the appearance of the adult, she was ashamed of herself, and her words were incoherent for a while, and it was inevitable that she would be incoherent." ”
The corners of his mouth were slightly curled and frozen, and his whole face changed color, and the dark clouds were thick, and the gloom glowed green.
"Presumptuous!" The father on the side observed the words and scolded, "Don't choose your words, don't you hurry up and kneel down to make amends to the adults!" ”
I was very aggrieved and bowed lightly to the mad stone: "I'm just telling the truth, there is no flattery, if there is anything inappropriate, please Lord Haihan." ”
There was a "poof" laugh behind the crazy stone, I followed the voice, it turned out that behind him there was a man in a black power suit, dressed like a few people guarding outside the study, tall as Jin Song, should be his subordinates.
Because I kept my head down, I didn't dare to be overly presumptuous, and I didn't pay attention. Now that he raised his head and looked at me, I couldn't help but be stunned, and my mouth stammered again:
"You...... How could you...... Are you a subordinate of Lord Madstone? ”
He smiled smugly at my thin lips slightly and smirked as if he had succeeded in playing tricks.
It's a cool word.
My father looked at Liang Ci suspiciously, and then looked at me again: "You are all acquaintances?" ”
Before I could figure out how to perfunctory my father, Crazy Stone was the first to speak: "When I used to handle cases in Jinling City, I was fortunate to have the assistance of Miss Qingwen, and I have already known her and know that she has excellent medical skills. In today's case, the other party is a person who is good at drugs, and he has to trouble Miss Qingwu to help. ”
When my father heard Mad Shi's explanation, he thought that we had a great friendship, and he was a little incoherent with excitement: "Your Excellency, this is originally my Su family's business, and it is already difficult for the labor adults to drive." If there is something to be told, it is the duty of the eleventh. ”
Crazy Stone looked me up and down with a pair of romantic peach blossom eyes: "Listen to what you say, a lot of your knowledge of this case comes from Miss Qingwen. Then I'll check it first, discuss the relevant case with her, and see if there are any clues available, I wonder if Master Su can make it convenient? ”
My father was a shrewd man, and when he heard this, he naturally understood the meaning of the crazy stone, nodded again and again, and bowed down under the pretext of arranging refreshments.
As soon as my father left, he was still sitting upright, and the wild stone that had been full of official authority immediately relaxed, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, soft as boneless. He lifted his chin arrogantly and motioned for me to sit in the chair at the bottom of the bookcase.
Naturally, I sat down unceremoniously and squeezed my eyes triumphantly at the cool words who were standing straight behind him.
Liang Ci put his hand into a fist to his mouth and coughed softly. Crazy Shi glanced at him, leisurely hugged his shoulders, and said arrogantly: "I have a case with Miss Qingwu that needs to be discussed, you go and pour us two cups of tea, I want the top Amber Guanyin, as long as the water is divided into nine, the color of the tea leaves is slightly different from the water quality." ”
Liang Ci glanced at the wild stone condescendingly, his face was expressionless, and he asked nonchalantly, "Are you sure?" ”
Crazy Stone shrunk his neck, grinned, and said to the cold: "I seem to be a bit noisy, it's not good to be too picky, just make do with this tea." These days, you have also been running back and forth hard, rewarding you to sit down and talk. ”
What a big shelf.
Cool snorted softly, as if dissatisfied, and walked around the bookcase to the chair next to me and sat down.
I lowered my voice and asked him, "Are you sure he's a god catcher?" ”
Liang Ci raised his eyes to look at the crazy stone, and seemed to be surprised by my reaction: "It's like a fake!" ”
I looked up at Madstone disdainfully, and he was stroking his smooth chin and glancing at me with interest. I pouted secretly, "If the truth is like a dispute, it's good to keep a thought in your heart." ”
Liang Ci pursed his lips tightly, not daring to laugh out loud: "You and I are heroes who see the same thing, and under the fame, it is inevitable that they will not match." ”
I flatteringly leaned close to his ear and stammered: "I really didn't expect that you would have such a big background, the six doors in Beijing, the first god in the world, you are majestic when you think about it." If I had known, I wouldn't have had to worry about it for so many days. ”
Liang Ci also followed my example, turned his head slightly, and whispered in my ear: "No way, our identities are extremely confidential and cannot be easily revealed." Otherwise, the adults will be strictly disciplined and will be severely punished. ”
Crazy Stone seemed to hear the whispers between the two of us, with a stinky face, expressionless, coughing lightly, and teasing: "Can you two talk about the old story later, let's discuss the case first?" ”
Liang Ci and I immediately sat up right with a tacit understanding, and said in unison: "Listen to me." ”
Crazy Stone still looked idle, glanced at Liang Ci, and asked me first: "Are you in a hurry to find cool today...... But what's the matter? ”
I restrained the smile on my face, picked out the key points of what had happened in the past few days, told them about my plans, and asked them if they were ready to plan.
Liang Ci didn't speak, he slapped his palm lightly three times, and immediately a black shadow fell from the roof like a ghost, covering his face in a black scarf, and his black clothes were short, capable and neat.
Liang Ci glanced at the man, but without saying a word, the man immediately understood. Remove the black scarf from the mask.
I couldn't help but exclaim "ah", only to see that the person's skin was bruised, the color was like dead ash, his face was full of pits, slightly distorted and deformed, but it was not the appearance of those people who had been poisoned by Miao Jiang Gu that I saw in the mountain behind the Fuhua Nunnery that day.
I asked Liang Ci in surprise, "Who is he?" How did you fall for that terrifying Gu poison? ”
Liang Ci said unhurriedly: "If you take a closer look, what clues may you find?" ”
The man's face was really miserable, I just glanced at it, and there was some urge in my stomach to turn over the river and the sea, where did I dare to look closely. Hearing Liang Ci say this, I couldn't resist the discomfort of gagging, and after a closer look, I realized that there was indeed something unusual.
The man in black I saw that day, there seemed to be insects wriggling under the skin of his face, and his facial muscles twitched and deformed. And this person, although he looks roughly, his facial features are distorted, but his skin is stiff and dull.
"He wasn't poisoned." I said with certainty, "It's just a little godlike, is it pretending?" ”
Liang Ci nodded, and gently spit out three words: "Transfiguration." ”
Transfiguration? I inevitably have some novelty, I have long heard of this kind of secret that the rivers and lakes do not pass on, just like the face change in the Bashu region, the caster can change his appearance, change into the appearance of others, to confuse the real with the fake. There are also magical people, who also practice the art of shrinking bones, which can change the shape of the body and imitate the voices of others, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female. This technique is only a rumor in the rivers and lakes, and it was spread by Mr. Storyteller, but I didn't expect that there were really people who were proficient.
I immediately guessed their intentions and asked, "Do you want him to get into the thieves like this?" ”
Liang Ci nodded: "We don't know anything about the power and origin of that thief, if we want to catch them all, we must do so." ”
Mad Stone rubbed his nose and said, "Since you can easily tell the difference, then it is not perfect and has a fatal mistake." What's your best idea? ”
I pondered for a moment: "With such a face, probably no one wants to stare at it carefully, but it can still be fake."
I'm not good at insect Gu, even if I know a little bit about it, to achieve a similar effect, in front of those people, it's also a class axe. Unless you are truly poisoned, it is impossible to do it perfectly. ”
Crazy Stone nodded helplessly: "For the time being, it can only be like this, and then adapt to the situation." ”
I just wanted to nod, but suddenly my heart sank, and a cold sweat broke out, and I exclaimed: "This thing won't work, absolutely not!" ”
"Why?"
All three people in the room turned to me in unison and asked in unison.
"I almost forgot, this Gu poison attacks every half a month, and it attacks like ten thousand ants eating bones. If you want to alleviate this poison, you must fight poison with poison.
Inside those killers, there must be a Ten Thousand Gu Pool. Once the poisonous hair is unbearable, he jumps into the pool and is gnawed by ten thousand Gu to suppress the poisonous hair.
The wounds of the Gu people heal very quickly, and there is not much pain. You are different, if you don't enter, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, if you go in, you will suffer and suffer sin, but if you don't say it, you will be poisoned by new poison. ”
Liang Ci frowned, and said after a moment's silence: "This matter is not trivial, I will never allow any horses to be exposed. If he also takes that kind of Gu, you might be able to concoct an antidote? ”
