We recuperated in Bashu for three months, this is a remote area, it is a good place to hide from the Fang Immortal Sect, even so, as the saying goes, be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, we still chose a very ordinary farmer's house to live.

Hua Bo went up the mountain to collect medicine every day before dawn, and after coming back, he stayed in the room all day to study, he said that Shu is mountainous, and quite spiritual, there are often strange grasses in the mountains to gather spirits and live, which is of great use to heal the sick and save people, but the grass and trees are in autumn, most of them are silently defeated in the deep mountains, and only the sun and the moon know how gorgeous they once were, it is a pity.

Da Zhuang devoted himself to eating at the beginning, and he had to change his tricks, often thinking about what to eat at night just after lunch, and indeed he hadn't eaten a decent meal at all in the past few months, and now he finally settled down, and he couldn't make up for it all, but I knew that he could only use this way to alleviate his longing for Wu Yingna. Later, when he got better, he also followed Hua Bo into the mountains to collect medicine and study medicine, but he still had no countermeasures for the plum blossom Gu in Xia Ti's body.

I forced myself to practice harder, because as soon as I was idle, my mood would become very bad, a few times I climbed to a plane tree in front of the door in a daze, a few hours passed without realizing it, the more my brain thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and the loss of the Taisu Ancient Scroll was like losing my soul, although now we don't know the secret of it, but since the powerful Fang Immortal Sect is desperately trying to get it, it must be of great significance, and that is my father's last entrustment, "This ancient scroll is a hundred times more urgent than the life of our whole family." I don't know if the secret in this Taisu scroll is good or not, in short, I got it with my own hands, even if I don't want it, I have to chase the scroll back, and I swear silently countless times, but I know how easy it is! Speaking of "life", fortunately, Hua Bo, Da Zhuang and Xia Ti are still alive, but we don't know where the elder Zhihua is, whether he is dead or alive......

Xia Ti is careful, and every time she sees me like this, she doesn't ask much, but often pulls me out for a walk, buys some things to relax, and then accompanies me to the small gambling house in the town to gamble twice, and the dull mood will be relieved a lot.

However, we have to make some plans for the future, our biggest enemy now is the ubiquitous Fang Immortal Sect, we must be cautious, not to leave any detail behind, even the local children sang well, "Ambush and behead the overlord on all sides, but was hung on the beam by a cloth bag." "It's about General Han Xin, a handsome material who must be conquered in battle, but in the end he was victimized by the subtotal, which means that things must be considered thoroughly, and you can't just do it with a pat on your head, otherwise you will often fold on small things.

After some discussion, we finally decided to separate temporarily, Hua Bo and Da Zhuang went north to go out of the customs and return to their hometown, first, they had to go back to see, so that their families could rest assured, and secondly, about the seven-colored flowers and ghost Awei, we had to study it carefully, and we needed to consult some ancient books and visit strange hermits.

And on our side, the most important thing is to remove the plum blossom Gu on Xia Ti's body as soon as possible, thinking of what the thief Zhang Pu said, the cruelty of this Gu attack, I can't help but feel numb, although I don't know why Xia Ti has no signs of Gu hair at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the next moment, we have to go to Heming Mountain as soon as possible to find Wang Zhenren, first, he may have a way to solve Xia Ti's Gu, and second, to return the Tianjing gossip map entrusted by Zhao Daochang to Zhao. When all these things are done, I also want to go home and worship my parents.

On the day of separation, the four of us had a big meal in the largest tavern in the local area, in order to be cautious, the wine was arranged in the innermost box upstairs, steamed Jiangtuan roast beef with meat and vegetarian dishes set up on a large table, the four of us pushed the cup and changed the lamp very happily, after three rounds of wine, I reminded Hua Bo and Da Zhuang, back to the Central Plains must be more cautious, Fang Xianjiao is too powerful, and extremely secretive, until now we still know very little about people, I think they will not let us go easily.

Da Zhuang smiled weirdly, walked to the door and looked around, to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, then put his head in front of me, and said in a low voice: "You don't know, we have been prepared, a few days ago I learned some 'thousand faces' from a strange person, although I only learned a fur, the means are superficial, but if you change your appearance, you will not even be able to recognize your mother when she sees you." ”

Hearing him say this, I was a little surprised, to say this "Thousand Faces Technique", I have also heard, it is derived from the local singer painted Tsing Yi face, is a light makeup, the tone is simple and natural, and later evolved into a disguise technique, it is said that those who are proficient in this way can draw the desired appearance at will, in other words, it is not impossible to turn the big strong face into Xia Ti's appearance, but although this is only a ninth-rate drama method, it is also a skill that will never be passed on, how can it be ......, I raised my eyes and saw Hua Bo smiled and nodded at me, I know that Da Zhuang is not bragging.

When I asked for details, I learned a strange thing that happened when I first arrived here, that day Xia Ti and I went to the town, leaving Hua Bo in the courtyard drying medicinal herbs, and suddenly a singing tune came slowly. "Iyoshi is slow and stupid, and he has a chaste heart. I am willing to ask and self-enter, and get the jade sound of Shangjun. Looking at sincerity with false words, the palace in the south of the city is ......"

Listening to the voice is a woman, singing gracefully, but with a sense of sadness and grievance, a poignant sense attracted Hua Bo to listen, one song after another, sang three songs in a row, and suddenly Hua Bo heard "Wow!" There was a sound of falling water, and he knew that something was wrong, so he immediately shouted Da Zhuang and rushed out.

From afar, I saw a man in the sea below the hillside, and a man fell into the water. Hua Bo and Da Zhuang hurriedly rushed down the hill, jumped into the sea, and scooped up the man who fell into the water, it was a thin woman, the strange thing was that she was wearing a costume, she was beaten by the water, and the makeup on her face was also spent, and it could be seen that she was no longer young, and her complexion was a little dull yellow, with a few hidden spots, not to mention about forty years old.

When she was rescued from the shore, the woman's hands and feet were cold, and she was unconscious, and it took a lot of effort for Waber to save her, but as soon as the woman woke up, she wailed and cried, and instead of thanking the two of them for saving her life, she kicked and beat her, crying and trying to find a short-sighted again.

Seeing this, Hua Bo felt pity, and asked the reason, the woman was in a trance, at first she shook her head and was silent, and then she may have seen Hua Bo's sincere words, so she told the truth intermittently, it turned out that this woman was poor since she was a child, and she was sold to the opera troupe at the age of six to learn art, because she was born with a good voice, she was also pretty, and she was smart and diligent, and she had already performed on stage at the age of cardamom, and she was quite famous when she was less than 20 years old, and she was also a famous actress at that time.

Although she has been beautiful for half her life, after all, there is no flower for a hundred days, half a year ago, she felt that her breath was insufficient when singing, and she was powerless, and she also saw a lot of Langzhong, and there were no less than dozens of recipes used, but they all had little effect. The aging of the flesh is fatal for a play, no matter how popular you used to be, you can't escape the fate of being spurned, this has been the case since ancient times, and those who watch the play only care about the people in the play, and the final fate of the play is very tragic, the time on the stage is dazzling, and when you can't sing, you will be eliminated, and those who can barely make ends meet even if they have accumulated virtue in their previous lives, and they abound to become beggars or prostitutes.

Although this woman is over the age of not confused, but as a celebrity, how can she be willing to beg along the street or commit to the Qinglou, after being swept out of the house by the troupe, she settled down here, practiced hard day by day, and thought that she would be able to return to the stage in the future, but half a year has passed, and the symptoms of lack of breath have not disappeared, but her face has become dull yellow, and there are many dark spots, and when the hope in people's hearts is dashed, she will fall into a kind of despair, so she wants to find a short-term view.

When she was crying, Hua Bo carefully observed her complexion, cut her pulse, and asked her if she had a serious illness a year ago, cold disease, and lay down for a long time before she recovered, and then her hands and feet were cold, and she was often awakened when she slept at night, and her menstrual affairs came and went.

The woman nodded in surprise when she heard this diagnosis, and apparently she was all right, so she asked Hua Bo what kind of disease she had.

Hua Bo told her that her pulse was slow and weak, and when she regained the pass, her pulse was like driftwood, which was a typical qi deficiency and blood deficiency, and her face would be yellow and dark and spotted after a long time. The so-called Four Gentlemen's Formula is made of Angelica, Poria Cocos, Atractylodes Atractylodes, and Licorice Herbs, so it is called "Four Gentlemen", although it is a common compatibility, but the decoction needs to be very careful, and it has a miraculous effect on the symptoms of qi and blood deficiency.

The woman was already desperate, and at first she was skeptical, but the symptoms that Hua Bo said were the same as her, and she went to the doctor because of this illness, and she went home and did it with great gratitude, and within half a month, her body miraculously recovered as usual.

Later, Hua Bo gave her a secret recipe for freckle removal and skin beautification, using the same amount of papaya and white flour to mix and paste on the face, which can remove freckle once every five days; Mix a little pearl powder and angelica powder with tofu, then add the dough to make a paste and apply it to the face, once a day, each time half a stick of incense can whiten the skin. At this time, the woman believed in Hua Bo, went home and gave it a try, and sure enough, when she saw her again a month later, her face was as radiant as a girl.

When she saw Hua Bo, she cried and knelt on the ground, grateful, and indeed this kindness was greater for a playman who would dedicate her life to the stage than saving her ten lives from the lake.

The woman had to marry Hua Bo as a concubine, saying that it was a reward for being a cow and a horse, and Hua Bo refused to accept it, but although this drama was a woman, she was also a character who would repay her kindness, and she knew that she could not repay her, so she could only make an exception and teach Hua Bo her "thousand faces" disguise stunt.

After listening, I nodded, this is indeed an adventure, but Da Zhuang said that the female actor finally told Hua Bo that although her disguise methods are clever, she can only be regarded as the second in the world at most, because when she was young, she saw someone change her appearance in an instant without the help of any external objects, and almost scared her to death.
