12, beauty is like jade

In the deep cave, the long pearl quietly bloomed with a soft light, so quiet that only Lin Yue's own breathing was left.

The two corpses sitting opposite each other, as well as the rusty iron sword that lay across the air, were like a fence, just in front of Lin Yue.

Behind the 'fence' is the secret door of the stone wall at the end of the cave.

"Two, offended."

Lin Yue arched his hand, and didn't touch the rusty iron sword between the two of them, so he pulled up the hem of his robe, raised one leg, and prepared to step over directly.

And yet—

"Buzz ......"

Hearing only a slight sound of Qing Yue, Lin Yue's legs had just stretched a little when he felt a sudden chill on his toes.

Immediately, silently, a section of the tip of his riding boots, along with a small piece of white footwear, fell off his foot at the same time, and then was gently bounced away by an invisible force and fell to the ground.

"What's going on?"

Lin Yue felt a chill in his heart, and immediately subconsciously withdrew that foot.

Then I looked down and suddenly found that the thick soles of the boots specially used for mountaineering were missing from the toes, and the toes were faintly exposed.

The incision was extremely smooth, as if it had been cut in an instant by an extremely sharp knife.

I almost had my toes cut off.

"Could it be...... This sword? ”

Lin Yue immediately had a suspicion, looking at the rusty iron sword held in the woman's dry hand, a little incredulous.

The blade of this sword is so rusty that it doesn't even move, how did it cut off?

Could it be the sword qi or sword intent that this sword brings?

When Lin Yue came to this cave before, he was shocked by these two corpses, and he didn't expect that the end of this cave was a secret door, so he didn't try to cross over these two corpses.

Now it seems that this violates some kind of taboo?

Lin Yue took half a step back slightly, then picked up the long pearl and slightly approached to observe the rusty iron sword.

A four-foot sword, the tip of which sank into the chest of the male corpse, its rusty blade pointing upwards.

It looks unremarkable.

Lin Yue frowned.

He was inexplicably afraid of this murderous iron sword before, although the blade was rusty, but just looking at it made him feel a chill in his heart, so he didn't dare to move.

Although he thought that it might be a treasure, he still didn't dare to touch it.

Now it seems that it was right not to touch it.

"I'm not allowed to go over? Or am I not allowed to step over? ”

Lin Yue stared at the rusty iron sword and thought in his heart.

Judging from the Taoist classics he has read these days, it seems that a few of the magic weapons of the cultivators are spiritual.

There is even the legendary treasure of the three sects in the holy land, and there are legends about the 'machine spirit'.

Perhaps, this iron sword is a magic weapon with spirituality?

If so, he can understand it.

There is a legend that the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers.

It is also said that the sword is the weapon of a gentleman, a soldier who is upright and unyielding, and an unyielding blade.

The horizontal sword passed under the crotch, which was indeed humiliating.

It makes sense.

Or is it that the sword simply doesn't want him to pass?

"Hey, can you speak? If you don't want to pay attention to me, can you let me pass? If you can understand, you can shake it, and if you can't, you can shake it twice. ”

Lin Yue tried to communicate with the rusty iron sword as kindly as possible, and exchanged a few words unilaterally, but he never got the slightest response.

"There's no machine spirit coming out to communicate." He couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

It seems that although this sword has spirituality, it has not yet reached the point of giving birth to a machine spirit.

"Forget it, let's test it."

Lin Yue thought about it, then turned his head and left the cave.

After a while, he returned to the cave with a bare branch, and once again came to the two corpses, trying to pass the branch over the sword.

At the same time, take a closer look at the rusty iron sword.

"Buzz ......"

I heard another faint sound of Qingyue, and the rusty iron sword suddenly trembled slightly, and the end of the branch broke silently, and the small truncated branch was bounced back by an invisible force.

Lin Yue looked at the branch that was missing a small section in his hand, and nodded slightly: "Sure enough, I won't let you pass from above, but what about below?" ”

He tried to cut the branch from underneath the blade, to the side, or against the wall, but each time the branch was cut open and snapped back mercilessly.

"Don't let it go?"

Lin Yue couldn't help frowning slightly.

How can this be?

Isn't it possible to wait until the secret of this sword is over before trying to find a way to get there?

Today's secret has been received in the morning, and it will be at least eight or nine hours to wait.

If he had been waiting here and had not returned to Qingdu for such a long time, he might still arouse the suspicion of Baili Fengzhi.

If the next time the secret has nothing to do with the sword, then it will have to wait another twelve hours.

By that time, Xia Honglie had already completely awakened his bloodline, and even if he got the secret about this sword again, he was afraid that it would be too late.

So, it must be done now.

"There must be another way."

Lin Yue squatted on the ground, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the rusty iron sword and the female dry bones with the light of the long pearl, silently thinking about the method in his heart.

How do you get around this rusty iron sword?

He also observed the woman's dry bones, hoping to find some inspiration.

This female skeleton is dressed in a white robe with gold silk moire, which is still brand new and white, obviously not extraordinary, and it is not known which sect's uniform.

However, he kept in mind the style and pattern of the white robe, and maybe he would be able to use it in the future.

These two corpses should be some years old, but the bones on this woman's dry bones are quite intact, still pale as jade, and even a little warm, but ......

"Huh?"

Lin Yue suddenly noticed——

There is a hole in the white robe on the right rib of this woman's dry bone, and it can be faintly seen through the hole, and the fourth rib on its left side seems to be broken.

A rib was missing.

With the light of the long pearl, Lin Yue observed the body of this woman's dry bones, and immediately found that on the left side of the hem of her white robe, under the soft white robe fabric, there was a faint unidentified bulge.

Glancing at the silent rusty iron sword, Lin Yue carefully picked up the branch that was only half cut and lifted the white robe a little.

Iron Sword didn't react.

It seems that as long as you don't want to cross its boundaries, you should be fine.

Of course, he could not have died enough to kick over or desecrate the bones of his master.

Lin Yue slowly used the end of the branch to lift the white robe, and immediately found that under the white robe was indeed a broken bone as warm as jade.

Looking at the shape, it should be the missing rib on this woman's dry bone.

"Great, there's a broken ......"

Lin Yue was overjoyed, and immediately used the end of the branch to slowly pull over the broken bone that was as pale as jade.

He was very careful throughout the whole process to avoid accidentally pulling the white robe.

If you accidentally knock down the entire corpse and fall apart, maybe that rusty iron sword will see blood today.

For a while—

"It's here."

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the small piece of broken bones that were as pale as jade, and had some expectations in his heart, "Maybe it can really be done." ”

Immediately, he took the small severed bone and slowly retreated.

It was only when we were almost back to the entrance of the cave that we stopped.

Immediately, Lin Yue took out the human skin mask-like treasure 'Appearance of All Beings' from his arms, and then used a knife to cut his fingers, dripping drops of blood on the broken bones like white jade.

After this small truncated bone was stained red with blood, Lin Yue immediately picked up the appearance of all beings and wrapped up this small truncated bone.

This pale human face, after wrapping the severed bone, was immediately stained with the blood on the broken bone, and began to quickly absorb Lin Yue's blood, and at the same time clinging to the broken bone, quickly contracted and gathered, turning into a mass only the size of a knuckle, and slowly squirming in his hand.

Among them, the broken bones like jade can be faintly seen.

This appearance, like a living creature digesting the broken bones in it, looks extremely strange.

It's not the first time Lin Yue has seen him, he just waits patiently.

After half an hour, the squirming finally stopped, and at the same time a crack was opened, spitting out the severed bone.

Lin Yue picked up the severed bone again and looked at it, and found that the rib had become slightly smaller than before.

Obviously, it was 'digested' by all living beings.

"Success?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but show a touch of joy.

As long as you can obtain a small part of the other person's body, such as blood, hair, etc., this strange treasure 'sentient appearance' can be broken down and discerned.

Put it on again and you're ready for perfect camouflage.

"Give it a try."

Lin Yue immediately sat down against the stone wall to avoid falling down later.

Then, completely spreading out the human skin-like appearance, he raised his head, gently covered his face, and then slowly compacted it, clinging to every inch of his skin.

Then, his mind flickered.

The next moment-

A surging and fiery current of heat poured out from this sentient being, constantly pouring into his body, rushing and merging into all parts of his body, like a furnace, as if it was about to completely melt his flesh and bones.

His consciousness also became muddy, and if he hadn't sat down in advance, he was afraid that he would have fallen.

After a while, it finally returned to normal.

When Lin Yue regained consciousness, he took a deep breath and raised his palm.

White as jade, slender and slender, at first glance it is not his own hand, it should belong to a woman's soft wattle.

Then I touched my cheeks and facial features, my eyes were large, my lips were exquisite, the bridge of my nose was straight and small, and my skin was like congealed fat.

He also has long hair like ink, with an amazing amount of hair and a good head shape.

Moreover, his skin was now as smooth as jade, so much so that the coarse cloth coat on his body, which was a little too wide, could easily slip down.

The shoulders subconsciously twisted slightly, and involuntarily revealed a white shoulder.

It's really slippery.

Lin Yue pulled up his clothes expressionlessly.

Although there is no mirror and I don't know what I look like now, I should be a jade beauty.

"Where's the voice?"

Lin Yue opened his mouth to test his voice, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

The voice is sweet and waxy, or is it a baby sound?

It's pretty good.

It seems that most of them were also a beautiful woman before her death.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously twisted his body slightly, revealing a touch of white shoulders again.

“……”

The corners of Lin Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and he grabbed the neckline expressionlessly and pulled it up fiercely.

It wasn't that he was playing on purpose.

But there is an obvious side effect of the appearance of sentient beings-

Once it changes into the other party, it will also be affected by the other party's personality characteristics, for example, after Xia Honglie became Su Ziqiu, he also became like a little girl who liked to mumble.

- It seems that this doll sound beauty was a bit narcissistic in her life.

Lin Yue stood up against the wall, always feeling a little strange that it was empty below.

Although this is not the first time he has become a woman - when he killed Xia Lie in order to trap him three months ago, he also became the beautiful luthier of the Wind Lotus Courtyard, taking the opportunity to get close to Xia Lie.

However, just looking at the dry bones of this beauty, I didn't find it, and she was actually quite tall, estimated to be about 1.75 meters.

Without thinking much about it, Lin Yue held the long pearl in his hand and walked back into the depths of the cave.

When he came to the rusty iron sword—

"Buzz—"

I only heard the sound of Qingyue's sword, which was much louder than before, and even had a cheering mood, as if I hadn't seen my mother's child for a long time.

The magic weapon is spiritually recognizable to the owner.

Theoretically, nature does not attack its own master.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yue's lips, but he didn't dare to grab this rusty iron sword rashly, so he picked up the branch first and cautiously tested it.

The branches are intact.

There was no sword qi attack this time.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to reach out to grab this sword.

Who knows if this sword has any unique way of identification, in case after contact, the sword intent enters the body and finds that he is not the real master, and if it is not good, he will cut his fake master in half.

Therefore, it is better to be cautious.

He, a mortal who had never cultivated, would not be able to use it even if he had obtained the magic weapon of the divine war, which would make him even more suspicious.

Even if you want to get this sword, you will wait until later.

Immediately, Lin Yue slowly raised his foot and stepped over cautiously without touching the sword.

- Fortunately, this sword only has a simple spirituality at a glance, no wisdom, and it can't even move, otherwise it wouldn't have pounced on his master a long time ago?

"Whew, it's finally here."

Lin Yue stood behind the inside of the 'fence' composed of two corpses and swords, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.

It's not easy.

Immediately, he picked up the long pearl and looked at the stone wall at the end of the cave.

The end of this cave is quite spacious, this stone wall is more than five feet high, one foot four feet wide, the whole is quite flat, it looks unremarkable, it is a secret door at all.

"To open the door, you need to follow the Luo Shu number of the Nine Palaces Bagua, and the original owner of the cave will slap the nine directions of the stone wall in turn."

Lin Yue looked up at this wall and couldn't help frowning slightly: "However, what about the exact location?" The whole wall is a nine-square grid? Or is it a part? ”

This stone wall has a range of more than ten square meters, and God knows which nine positions the nine square grids are.

He thought for a moment, put down the long pearl, illuminated his package, and turned out a charcoal pen prepared in advance from it, intending to draw a nine-square grid on this stone wall.

I can only try it slowly.

That's when —

"Huh?"

Lin Yue suddenly found that when the light of Changmingzhu did not continue to shine on this stone wall, there were vertical and horizontal lines formed by faint light on the stone wall.

But the lines soon disappeared again.

"It can't be an illusion, is it a ......"

An idea flashed in Lin Yue's heart, and he immediately illuminated this wall with the light of the long pearl, but he didn't do anything.

After a few moments, he put the long pearl back in the box.

Darkness returns to the cavern.

At this moment, vertical and horizontal lines appeared on the stone wall in front of me again, two longitudinal lines and two horizontal lines, just drawing a nine-square grid.

"I see...... Fluorescent substances. ”

Looking at these glowing lines, Lin Yue couldn't help but show a smile.

Most fluorescent substances need to absorb light before they can shine.

After he illuminated this stone wall with the light of a long pearl, the fluorescent material on it absorbed the light, so it could light up in the dark.

"Good."

Lin Yue immediately took the charcoal pen and drew two longitudinal lines and two horizontal lines along these lines that emitted a glimmer, forming a nine-square grid.

Immediately, he took out the long pearl and wrote the Arabic numerals from 1 to 9 on this nine-square grid.

The number of Vena books, from one to nine, according to the order of wearing nine shoes one, three on the left and seven on the right, two four for the shoulder, six or eight for the foot, and five in the center, add vertically and horizontally obliquely, all of which are fifteen.

"Alright."

Lin Yue looked at the nine-square grid he drew with satisfaction, and he wouldn't be in the wrong position this time.

"Although the secret door of this cave must be struck by the original owner according to the number of the nine palaces, the change in the appearance of all beings is almost perfect, and it should be possible in theory."

Lin Yue looked at this stone wall and took a deep breath, "I don't know if this great beauty who has changed in me is the original owner of this cave......

He took a deep breath and immediately began to slap the positions on the stone wall one by one in the order of the numbers on the nine-square grid.
