Hearing the sound of talking outside, Su Qin, who put down his chopsticks, just got up and saw a middle-aged man in brocade walking in, the middle-aged man had a ruddy and white face, and his pace was steady, looking at Su Qin, who was getting up, his eyes just looked Su Qin up and down slightly, and said with a smile This is Su Shaoxia, I am the housekeeper in the house named Qi Wanfu.

"Steward Qi is good. Looking at Qi Wanfu, Su Qin said politely.

"Su Shaoxia doesn't have to be polite, we will have time to get close in the future. Speaking of this, Qi Wanfu paused, "Now the house is too busy, and the master can't get away, so let me come over and take Su Shaoxia out to attend the birthday of the ancestor." After speaking, Qi Wanfu shook the clothes in his hand, "This is specially arranged by the master for me to tailor for Su Shaoxia, time is pressing, if Su Shaoxia has breakfast, please clean up and go out with me." ”

"Breakfast was already eaten. Su Qin said and glanced at the brocade robe in Qi Wanfu's hand, and frowned when he looked at Qi Wanfu again, "Steward Qi, thanks to the shopkeeper Lu, it's just ...... It's not that I don't want to go out, you see the hurt on my face now......"

"This old man has already told me. Speaking of this, Qi Wanfu smiled, and didn't know where to take out a brocade box, "Su Shaoxia saved the master's life, and I also heard the master say that Su Shaoxia is very capable, this thing Su Shaoxia should have seen, with it, the injury on Su Shaoxia's face is naturally not a problem." ”

"What is this?" Looking at Qi Wanfu who handed over the brocade box in his hand, Su Qin asked with doubts in his heart.

"Su Shaoxia will know it when he sees it. Qi Wanfu smiled mysteriously, "My lord has a lot of friends in the city, so I don't have to worry about this thing being recognized." ”

Hearing Qi Wanfu's words, Su Qin whispered, and after taking the brocade box, he opened the brocade box, and after seeing one thing inside, Su Qin's brows wrinkled unconsciously.

Inside the brocade box is a mask.

Human skin mask.

Su Qin, who saw this character mask, was in a trance for a moment, because at this moment some people and some things appeared in his mind - Mo Li once told him about the things on the rivers and lakes, such as the disguise technique necessary for walking the rivers and lakes to change his appearance and the mind reading technique of recognizing people and distinguishing between people and so on.

At that time, Su Qin only listened to it as a story, and pulled Mo Li to tell him a lot of methods of disguise technique, at that time Su Qin thought that these were just legends, but after seeing Qiao Er's disguise technique, Su Qin knew that what Mo Li said was not nonsense.

Su Qin, who was not very old at the time, did not remember the complicated methods of the disguise technique, but only remembered the human skin mask that could change the appearance in an instant during the disguise technique, because when Mo Li said the production method of this human skin mask, Su Qin was a little creepy, that is, Su Qin still had a little chill in his back when he thought about it now, because Su Qin remembered clearly, Mo Li said that the production of human skin masks was very troublesome, and it was necessary to cut a thin layer of human skin on those dead corpses that had not yet decomposed, and then go through procedures such as soaking in fire and sterilizing with medicine to make human skin masks.

Thinking of this, Su Qin came back to his senses and looked at the human skin mask again, he felt a little more indescribable feelings in his heart, some wanted to vomit and some were curious, the reason for wanting to vomit was very simple, Su Qin was inexplicably disgusted when he thought that this human skin mask was torn off the face of a dead man and had to be attached to his face, and Su Qin was curious about the human skin mask in front of him that looked at least seven points similar to himself, how did Lu Zhenyu do it?

"What's wrong with Su Shaoxia?" Looking at Su Qin, who was silently staring at the human skin mask in a daze, Qi Wanfu asked on the side.

"Nothing. Su Qin smiled awkwardly, then looked up at Qi Wanfu and said with a slightly stiff expression, "I've only heard of the method of making this human skin mask before, and today is the first time I've seen it." ”

"Su Shaoxia knew that this was a human skin mask, which was much easier. Looking at Su Qin's expression, Qi Wanfu seemed to know Su Qin's thoughts at the moment, so he smiled and explained, "But Su Shaoxia is too worried, the production of this mask is not what those rumors say in the rivers and lakes, Su Shaoxia can know a thing or two by touching it with his hands, because the time is tight, so the workmanship is a little rough, but it is better than nothing, if you don't look carefully, outsiders can't find it." ”

Hearing Qi Wanfu's words, Su Qin reached out and gently touched the human skin mask, it was a little cold in his hand, and gently rubbed it with his thumb and index finger, Su Qin found that there were some uneven things on this human skin mask, it should not be human skin, otherwise it would not be so rough, but this did not prevent Su Qin from evaluating this human skin mask, because except for a few cracks in his eyes, nose and lips, Su Qin knew that this human skin mask was very consistent with his face shape and appearance.

Su Qin didn't expect Lu Zhenyu's thoughts to be so thoughtful - that night, Su Qin told Lu Zhenyu that he wanted to change his identity, who knew that Lu Zhenyu thought that Su Qin wanted to change his face and was afraid that those enemies would come to the door again, so he found someone to create this human skin mask.

Thinking of this, Su Qin was a little moved, but he had been in this small courtyard all these days, how could Lu Zhenyu make this human skin mask so similar?

Shaking his head slightly, Su Qin, who couldn't figure out what the secret was, decided to ask again when he turned back to see Lu Zhenyu - although he didn't know what this human skin mask was made of, Qi Wanfu's words completely dispelled Su Qin's concerns, and Su Qin, who looked away from the human skin mask, hugged his fist at Qi Wanfu and said thank you Steward Qi for reminding him, and after finishing speaking, Su Qin stepped forward and picked up the clothes that Qi Wanfu brought over, "I'll change my clothes." ”

"Hurry up and help Su Shaoxia change his clothes. Seeing that Su Qin had taken the clothes, Qi Wanfu said a word to Zhao Sanhan, who had been standing at the door and had not come in, and when he heard Qi Wanfu's words, Zhao Sanhan answered yes and trotted over.

said that he was changing clothes, but he just changed the long shirt outside Su Qin into a close-fitting brocade robe, but it was just a matter of more than a dozen breaths, Su Qin, who had changed his clothes, took the brocade box, and said to Qi Wanfu I will go back, and after seeing Qi Wanfu nodding, Su Qin turned his head and walked towards his bedroom.

Su Qin, who came to the bronze mirror at the head of the bed, looked at the human skin mask in his hand, and then took a sharp breath, he picked up the human skin mask with both hands and pasted it on his face - Su Qin heard Mo Li say that there is a layer of mucous membrane on the back of the human skin mask, and it was a little itchy when it was first attached to his face, but it was good to wear it for a while.

When Su Qin put the human skin mask on it, when he was facing the bronze mirror, Su Qin was a little stunned.

Su Qin in the mirror is still Su Qin's appearance, but the scar at the corner of his mouth is missing, his expression is a little stiffer, and his face is no different from ordinary people except for being a little paler.

Su Qin, who smiled bitterly, looked at the mirror and saw that the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and then knew that this might be the shortcoming of the human skin mask - the human skin mask could not clearly convey his facial expressions, thinking of this, although Su Qin was a little helpless, he still smiled, and then he looked at the bronze mirror, and he tidied up his hair and the place where the human skin mask met his face, and after confirming that it was foolproof, Su Qin walked outside.

Looking at Su Qin who came to the hall, Zhao Sanhan grew his mouth in surprise, while Steward Qi looked Su Qin up and down a few times, nodded and said, "Su Shaoxia is really talented." ”

"A man depends on his clothes, and his horse depends on his saddle. Su Qin looked at Qi Wanfu and replied, and after speaking, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this, so he smiled awkwardly, and then changed the topic and said, "Please also ask Steward Qi to lead the way." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late. Looking at the sun outside, Qi Wanfu frowned, "I still have to go to the front of the mansion to entertain those distinguished guests, Su Shaoxia, you can go directly to the lobby." Speaking of this, Qi Wanfu turned his head and said a few words to Zhao Sanhan behind him, asking him to take Su Qin to the lobby, and after finishing speaking, Qi Wanfu said hello to Su Qin, said a word and chatted again when he was free, and then left first.

Looking at Zhao Sanhan, who had been staring at him after Qi Wanfu left, Su Qin frowned, but as soon as his brows were furrowed, he remembered something and stretched the corners of his eyebrows - the human skin mask was attached to his face, if his facial expressions were too frequent, it would inevitably cause the slack of the human skin mask, and I was afraid that people would see the flaws at that time.

"What's there to see?" Su Qin looked at Zhao Sanhan and said, walking forward as he spoke-just now because of the human skin mask, Su Qin was afraid that Lu Zhenyu would wait for a long time, looking at Zhao Sanhan who was stunned, Su Qin only took the lead.

"I really can't imagine that there is such a magical thing in the world. Watching Su Qin's footsteps, Zhao Sanhan, who came back to his senses, ran two steps to Su Qin's side at this time, and turned his head to look at Su Qin's side face as he walked, "Su Shaoxia, you brought this thing, I almost didn't know it just now." Speaking of this, Zhao Sanhan slapped his forehead, "No, no, it's not that I don't know it, but this thing...... Oh, this mask is so realistic that if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that Su Shaoxia would have looked like he is now. ”

"There are so many mysterious things in this world that we don't know. Although Zhao Sanhan's words were a little messy, Su Qin understood what Zhao Sanhan wanted to express, and he had a lot of contact with Zhao Sanhan in the past few days.

"By the way, Su Shaoxia, you are a person who practices martial arts, I heard that those martial arts masters can hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves?" Hearing Su Qin's words, Zhao Sanhan asked curiously.

"You tell me about the people who came to the mansion this time, right?" After humming softly, Su Qin turned his head to look at Zhao Sanhan and asked.

"A lot of people come every year on this day all these years. Hearing Su Qin ask himself a question, Zhao Sanhan laughed a little proudly, looked around after laughing, and whispered when he saw that there was no one, "Su Shaoxia may not know, outsiders also think that the master can make the emperor appreciate because of the master's ability to appreciate the stone scenery, but in fact, just like today's ancestor's birthday, why are so many court officials and those rich businessmen coming? Speaking of this, Zhao Sanhan paused, "Just like today, it is not so much a birthday celebration, but rather that those rich and powerful nobles take the opportunity to compare, they want to please the favor of their ancestors and then indirectly get the appreciation of the lady in the palace." ”

"But we can't care about this, we just have to watch the excitement, there will be a lot of rare treasures and strange performances. Looking at Su Qin, who was thinking about something with his head down, Zhao Sanhan thought that Su Qin was shocked by such a big scene, so he comforted and said.
