Chapter Ninety-Seven: Four Lives
Very strangely, Li Yiqing felt a trace of coldness in the room for no apparent reason.
"Don't." Li Yiqing hesitantly stretched out his hand, wanting to stop it.
Although there is a high probability that this pill is not dangerous, and nothing will happen with such a small portion, but what if? Anyway, if she had such a cute and beautiful kitten, she would definitely be reluctant to use it to test the medicine.
Pei Ye was stunned, and handed an index finger to the black cat's mouth, and poked it inside.
"By the way, the Ascending Pill doesn't taste good, and cats shouldn't like it. Pei liquid. The girl still tried to admonish, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the little black cat stick out her tongue and bring a little danmo from the young man's fingertips into her mouth.
"Ah" Li Yiqing frowned slightly, but quickly stretched out and said tiredly, "It's so good." β
The girl leaned over to the kitten, she had been speaking with a weak voice before, but there was a middle air in this exclamation, and a pair of starry eyes were shining.
"Hey, yes." Pei Ye smiled, took the black cat in his arms, and rubbed its neck behind the ear, "But it's more sensitive to the livingβis it okay to pet it for a friend in a green skirt?" β
Li Yiqing was stunned for a moment, only to realize that this strange title referred to herself. Pei Li let go of her arm, she tentatively reached over, but the black cat didn't reply, turned around lightly, and rushed back to the table.
"Ah" The girl withdrew her hand a little discouraged, and said unconvinced at the kitten's back, "Obviously, I care more about you." β
"Haha, that's right." Pei Li smiled, "I didn't touch Zhang Junxue before." β
"Hmph."
"My cat, hehe." Pei Ye hooked the ears of the lying kitten.
Li Yiqing leaned back against the wall, and suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of Zhang Junxue, at the singing pill meeting, is she in a hurry to come to the ascending pill?" β
"Ah, yes." Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, "What?" β
"That's right, I've just been born for a short time, and I can't use this pill for the time being, so I bought it as a bait for Qijiao." The girl said, "You can ask her if she wants this Dan." β
"You're going to need it sooner or later, huh?"
"When the time comes, there will be a more suitable price, can Cui Yu still get one?" The girl glanced at him, "And I don't have to give her my own." β
Pei Ye was stunned for a moment and smiled: "My entry speed is already very fast." β
"Then it's faster, otherwise you can be brave and diligent, but you are satisfied with this, isn't it a waste of talent?"
Pei Li then smiled and took back the porcelain bottle: "Okay." β
Then wait and see if the black cat will have a stomachache.
The room was quiet for a while, and Pei Ye suddenly said, "Since you don't sleep, let's do things." β
"Ah" Li Yiqing looked at him a little blankly, leaning his neck against the wall softly, "What's the matter?" I'm actually"
She looked at the bed, and although it was true that she couldn't sleep, her tired body actually wanted to lie down for a while.
"Didn't you say that the face of the corpse was fake, and it had to be removed."
"You uncover it."
"I've been looking for a long time in the morning, and I don't know where to find it."
β.β The girl remained motionless.
"Let's go." Pei Ye stood up and took off the quilt.
"Okay."
Pei Ye smiled - he began to feel tired and lazy, which means that the girl's spirit has indeed recovered slightly.
Li Yiqing put on his coat and came to the east courtyard together, the body had already been parked in the house, and Cuiyu people transferred from other places were guarding it.
The two walked in, and Li Yiqing put on gloves and took a thin dagger from the table.
"Haven't you seen a transfiguration?" The girl was still a little weak, she sat down next to the head, and Pei Ye moved a small horse to sit next to her.
"I've been beaten once." Pei Li recalled, "But that one fell off when I rubbed and washed, this one is different, I didn't dare to move." β
Li Yiqing first stretched out his hand and pressed it on the seam of his facial features: "This should be human skin-mask." β
She was almost breathing - if she hadn't noticed something unusual when she touched her eyes, she would have almost thought it was real.
The girl bowed her head seriously, and a few fingers pressed the old man's cheek and rubbed it carefully, but she couldn't find the seam for a long time, so she simply held the dagger and cut it under her ear, so that the blood separated a layer of dough that did not belong to the old man.
The girl's brow furrowed deeply.
"What's wrong?"
"What a superb means, too. Good fit for the face. She sighed in a low voice, and then continued to cut along the seam as she earnestly told the young man, "The art of transfiguration is easy to learn and difficult to master, and it has two main methodsβone is the kind you experience, short-term, one-off, it is to polish every part of the face and repair it, and completely sculpt and cast it into the appearance of another person. β
Pei Ye nodded slowly.
"As long as you are skilled and spend enough time, it is easy to confuse the real with the fake, but it is more fragile and fragile, and if it rains and winds, or someone pulls it off, it will be exposed." The girl continued, "The so-called 'easy to learn' refers to the early stage of this technique, because if you don't seek refinement, you just add something and apply some powder, which is actually very similar to a woman's makeup. β
The girl stretched out her finger and poked Pei Li, raised her face in front of him, and stretched out her hand to point to the remaining marks in the corner of her eyeβthere should have been a cyan bird's wing with silver marks.
"Just like this one, I drew it early in the morning on the day I went to sing Dan, and now I can barely see the shape." The girl twisted the corners of her eyes, and a little blue stuck to her fingertips, "If you want to learn, I can teach you something simple." β
Pei Li wants to learn.
Yang Yan should be a technique that is not proficient.
Then Li Yiqing lowered his head and continued to process the face on his hand, and slowly cut into the gap that had just been cut with the knife surface: "The second is like this - make a human skin mask." Unless it is quite professional or accumulative, each mask is custom-made for the user, and can only be used by one designated person to dress up as another. The advantage of the mask is that it can be made of special materials, which is almost not afraid of damage, and can be reused for a long time; The disadvantage is that the details are inevitably stiff, and it is much more difficult to make them realistic enough than the first method. β
"It doesn't look stiff." Pei Ye looked down.
"Yes, it takes master-level means to make the mask so vivid and vivid." Li Yiqing said, "Moreover, the user's own face must be suitable enough." β
By this time, the girl's knife had separated the leather surface, and she lifted the mask steadily, so that the true face of the corpse was exposed. Pei Ye looked at it, and then the two of them were stunned.
A terrifying and strange face was revealed under the mask, and the girl knew why this face was so suitable, because it did not have any edges and corners of its own.
The eyes, nose, and mouth are all preserved, but the eyelids, the bridge of the nose, and the lips are gone.
They are not shaved off, but smooth and smooth, completely innate in appearance, and almost any human skin can be pasted without resistance.
The face was so strange and disgusting that the girl only looked at it a few times before she put the skin back on.
A terrifying chill also rose in Pei Li's heart, this appearance is good if it is natural, if it is artificial. What kind of force can accomplish such an outcome? And what kind of person would do such a thing?
For the vast majority of people, the face is the anchor of their existence in society, and to erase it is to erase both the self and all contact with others.
If the people around you become like this, will you still be able to recognize them at a glance? How did Yang Yan, Zhang Junxue, and Li Yiqing associate such a face with a smiling girl?
Pei Ye's eyebrows furrowed stiffly, this organization called Huan Death Lou caused him to be deeply disgusted.
But the girl came back to her senses first, maybe she didn't think too far, maybe she had suffered enough impact last night, in short, there was not much reaction on her face. She put down the dagger: "This kind of thing, as well as the true qi technique that ignited the fire before, will have to wait for Tianshan and Xianrentai to find the answer." β
Pei Ye took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, that's okay, you go back and continue to lie down." β
"All up." Li Yiqing rolled her eyes slightly, was quiet for a while, and suddenly said, "Did you mention the matter of fruit in the morning?" β
"Oh yes." Pei Ye nodded, "This is also a big dealβI want to tell you that the cicada and yellow jade we discussed earlier should be a set of swordsmanship, perhaps the result of the scattered inheritance of Jade Fei Mountain back then." β
The girl was silent.
"This is very much in line with your senior brother's friendship with Zhao Darttou." Pei Li said, "And the swordsmanship itself is also meticulous, now you are inconvenient to move, I will show you the sword score of "Cicada Bird Sword" in a while, and when your injuries are better, we will learn to confirm it." β
I really didn't expect that." Li Yiqing sighed lightly, but his thinking left the topic, and he was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "Thank you for avenging your senior brother, when I killed that person, I thought I was the enemy of the sword." β
"It's a hand blade, yes, let's kill half of it by ourselves." Pei Ye said with a smile.
The girl's sad face couldn't help but show a sad smile: "You are so annoying." β
Then she lowered her face: "If these two swords are really the division of the inheritance of Jade Fei Mountain back then, it is indeed a first-class major event for Cui Yu." This matter, when the martial arts competition is over, I will take you up the mountain to talk to the master. β
"Oh, good." Pei Ye nodded first, and then was stunned, "What are you talking about?" β
"How do I thank you? And I can't remember much about Jade Fei Mountain, and I can only find answers to many things by going to the master's place, or even going to the library. β
"Oh." Pei Ye reacted, this time he was not polite, and thought for a while, "I want to learn "Yellow Jade", I don't know if it can?" β
"Of course." Li Yiqing nodded, "You give Cui Yu "Cicada Sword", Cui Yu naturally wants to return "Yellow Jade", this is a basic exchange, not included in the thank-you gift." β
"Oh, that's right, but after all, it's the inheritance of your master." Pei Li thought for a while, "Then I only need this." Thank you or something, and then see the needs of the Fenghuai Martial Arts Hall, right? β
"Huh?"
"The martial arts hall of our county. Because I didn't find this copy of "Cicada Sword", it was given to me by the master of the martial arts hall to practice. Pei Ye smiled, "I just have some excavation skills." β
"Oh well, anyway, I'll talk to Master when the time comes." Li Yiqing nodded and looked at the sky, "The person who is participating in the Cui Yu competition should be there tomorrow, but the master is staring at the one from Qijiao, so he should not be with the team." β
Then she remembered what had just happened, and said with some concern, "Is your kitten okay?" β
Pei Li paused for a moment, as if waiting for an answer, before saying, "It's okay." β
Then he took out the small porcelain bottle and poured out the ascending pills.
"Since it's true, then I'll eat it here, no problem, right?"
"Eat it." Li Yiqing remembered the casual behavior of this young man. However, although there are indeed many particulars about serving Dan, as far as the Ascending Pill is concerned, it seems that there is really no one that is just needed.
"You don't have to divide this into parts, do you?" Pei Ye remembered the girl's previous advice about Samdan.
"No, I don't."
So Pei Ye raised his hand and swallowed it.
This was the first time in 17 years that he had taken a pill in the true sense of the word.
Quan Zhen included it in the category of "Running to the Stars but the Moon", which can be regarded as a recognition of it as a real elixir for seeking immortals. The swallowing of this pill is not just swallowing, it is not gastric juice that digests it, but true qi - if it is swallowed by a landlubber, it is how to get in and how to get out.
At this time, as soon as he came into contact with the true qi, this pill was like snow meeting a soldering iron, and it suddenly turned into a trickle, and unlike the rich and sensible medicinal properties of the previous "Ginseng Dan", Pei Ye didn't feel anything more in his body after taking this pill - flesh and blood were just their path, and the meridian tree was their end.
"This is the so-called 'Dantian Bridge'." Li Yiqing looked at the young man's expression and leaned against the wall and smiled.
In just a moment, Yulu, a small tree that was already growing perfectly, seemed to be in the spring and rain, and the water and fertilizer were drawn down, and suddenly burst out with amazing growth, and the eight branches quickly differentiated into new branches, and between the two breaths, the sixteen meridians were arranged in turn in the Pei Ye Dantian.
The feeling that this way of growing the meridian tree brings to the cultivator is that every time he enters the realm, he feels that the true qi in his body has increased unprecedentedly, and the next time he enters the realm, this feeling will double.
Four lives, sixteen meridians, from this time on, it represents that when the young man is facing the enemy, he begins to rely on his true qi more than his own bones.
And after crossing this threshold, there is a new beauty.
Pei Ye picked up a glass of water, and in an instant, he completed the action of covering the true qi, and under the swirling true qi, after three breaths, the cup of water was heated again.
"Hmm." Pei Ye smiled with satisfaction, as if he had found some new toy. He looked around to see if there was anything else he could try.
And the girl was very familiar with this mentality, and had already looked at him with the eyes of a passer-by, and handed him a thin branch.
Pei Ye took it and put it in his hand, the true qi was poured into it, and then stabbed at the table leg, and with a "grab" sound, the table leg was directly passed, Pei Li's smile unconsciously floated up again, and then continued to look around.
"Alright." Li Yiqing smiled, "Don't spoil other people's things." β
Pei Ye smiled and retracted his gaze.
