Chapter 38: The Art of Change

"This ...... Could it be a ploy, she and Sima Zhenren were playing tricks before, and they will fight back after gaining the trust of the Black Sect Master?" asked Ying Feiyang.

Monk Duanfa smiled bitterly: "You think of her simply, if this is her plan, then although it is unexpected, but there are traces to follow, but in fact, she has no purpose at all, but she wants to do it, I and other mortals, how to find her mind? If you really want to find a purpose, that purpose is as she said at that time." ”

Monk Duanfa pinched his throat, as if possessed by a woman, and said: "That Taoist priest can be resurrected after being killed by me, you should be able to do it too, don't lose to Xin Sanqing if you believe in what kind of god you are!"

"The death of the guru made the army very confused, the Santi army took the opportunity to counterattack, several of my senior brothers saw that the situation was unfavorable, and hurriedly led the army to retreat, but on the way to retreat, the shadow of death was like a shadow, every night, there was a senior brother who died, in turn was skinned, intestines were removed, bones were dismantled, and the death method of the three senior brothers corresponded to the sacrificial method they were in charge of, and the blood rakshasa also used their blood to leave a word on the tent, saying that the guru was not resurrected, it must be that the sacrifice was not rich enough, so he wanted to sacrifice us. The remaining two brothers were so frightened that they mobilized their troops to surround their camp and defend it, but I chose another method, and I also sent troops to guard my camp, but I abandoned the army and my faith, and fled with the snake silk. ”

"It's ridiculous to say that I thought I had nothing to fear under the guidance of the Great Black Heaven, but that was only because I didn't encounter real fear, and I could have devout faith just because I didn't have to be a sacrifice. So I fled, all the way out of the Western Regions, fled to the Central Plains, and in order to hide my identity, I became a monk in a temple, began to eat fasting and chanted Buddha, and finally went to the White Horse Temple to place orders. ”

Monk Duanfa raised his head, his eyes were confused, and said: "I used to be full of blood, but after seeing the killing methods of the Blood Rakshasa, I no longer dare to kill, and even as long as I see blood, I will think of the woman who was stained red with blood." I have been hiding in Buddhism for more than 20 years, reciting scriptures for many years, but I have not given up my greed and hatred, and I am still a philistine, irritable temperament, not a good monk, but as long as I stay in Buddhism, I don't have to kill anymore, I don't need to kill the sect, even if it is a good sect, as long as I think of this, I can have a moment of calmness......"

After the Duanfa monk finished speaking, he took a long breath, and his frowning brows also stretched, and said: "I have been pressed in my heart for many years, and now I feel relieved to say it, I decided not to kill Sima Zhenren, at this time, you can believe it, if you don't believe it, even if you take my life, you should atone for my early sins, although unwilling, but it is better than dying in the hands of the Blood Rakshasa ." ”

After that, the Duanfa monk no longer defended, folded his hands, lowered his eyes and chanted, and the sound of the Buddha came out, and the fake monk with bloody hands looked solemn.

Duanfa's rhetoric, although I don't know how credible it is, but it makes the already vague things more confusing, the people of the Shangqing faction discussed, but there is no substantive progress, and finally at the initiative of Master Kuming, the Duanfa monk is still regarded as the most suspicious person, imprisoned in the guest room, and guarded by the Shangqing faction Wudaozi in turn, as for the matter of the blood rakshasa, if it is fake, there is no need to guard against it, if it is really defense, it is useless, so simply ignore it.

After the agreement, the second watch had passed, and they knew that they still had to recuperate and adapt to the future, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

On the way back, Mu Zixuan and Ying Feiyang walked together, chatting casually as they walked: "Senior brother, we have already discussed the suspicion of the Shangqing faction's five daozi, it is better to continue the topic, do you look at whether Duanfa is suspicious, and how much can you believe in his story?"

"Blood Rakshasa takes his life? It's just speculation without evidence, according to me, it is clear that the Duanfa monk was frightened by the Blood Rakshasa out of his courage, so whenever there is a disturbance, he will think that the Blood Rakshasa did it. Ying Feiyang said, pursed his lips, and continued: "However, Monk Duanfa's expression is sincere, it doesn't seem to be a fake, and if it is really him who killed Sima Zhenren, he can also use other ways to quibble, why bother to admit his past crimes? ”

Mu Zixuan sneered: "Buddha, can transform the appearance of sentient beings, can be regarded as an expert in fraud, you see that his words are sincere, do you know that he is not confused by his appearance? As for admitting the old things, maybe it is just to retreat into advance, just so simple, does it make you believe?"

"Before the matter was decided, I only believed in my own eyes, and besides, I believed him so simply because there was a more suspicious goal?"

"Oh, I don't know who the junior brother is suspicious of?" Mu Zixuan paused and turned around and asked.

Ying Feiyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you want to ask knowingly? Naturally, it's you, senior brother." ”

"Me?" Mu Zixuan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect that my junior brother would doubt me, don't you forget, when Sima Zhenren died, I was with you." ”

Ying Feiyang said: "Senior brother is so capable, why do you have to kill people yourself, in the past, wisdom was like nonsense, and still died in your calculations without knowing in vain, just need to lay out behind the scenes to take people's lives, isn't this the senior brother's specialty?

Mu Zixuan said with a smile: "Senior brother can't help but look down on me too much, Hu Bugui is in that game, I relied on the right time, place and talent to get lucky, Sima Chengzhen is in Luoyang, but it is not as isolated as Hu Bugui in Shuzhong, I don't have enough information, and I have no chess pieces to use, how can I kill him." Besides, you are also in the limelight today, so if you say so, shouldn't I doubt you too?"

Mu Zixuan paused, then frowned again: "I also feel that someone is manipulating the situation behind the scenes, but this person is definitely me." ”

"Oh, whatever you say, anyway, your ability to cheat must be above the Duanfa monk, since you want me not to trust him easily, then I naturally won't believe you casually. Ying Feiyang said with suspicion on his face, and then, after hesitation, he said, "By the way, senior brother, when it comes to cheating, do you know any way to pretend to be another person and do it seamlessly?"

"Seamless, this is not easy, just say that the appearance is imitated to exactly the same is not simple, when it comes to the art of change, Buddhism's 'all living beings' can change the appearance, but because all the phases are in vain, so the time limit of change is not long, the Taoist '** Xuangong' is famous, but now the original has been lost, only half of the fragment is left, the effect is not as good as back then, Confucianism that a group of self-proclaimed gentlemen guys, naturally do not like pretentiousness, so there is no subtle change of the technique. ”

"What kind of magical powers did the senior brother use when he used to pit people?"

Mu Zixuan shook his head and said: "I'm not good at the art of change, so I use the human skin mask made by Mo Feigong, known as the 'Wonderful Hands' of the five different people, to make a disguise, although the mask made by Mo Feigong is ingenious, but relying on the mask to change is based on external objects after all, and it suffers more limitations than the change technique, if you really want to say the best change technique in the world, you need to count the changes in the Qingqiu Hu clan's Tianhu Ruyi Method." ”

"Tianhu Ruyi Method, I have seen Hu Bugui use it. Thinking that Hu Bugui had pretended to be Mo Yunqi and used him, Ying Feiyang couldn't help but have a pimple in his heart.

"That's right, the Tianhu Ruyi Law is divided into seven articles, each with its own merits, all of which are magical powers that have been passed down since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Qingqiu Fox Clan can be the first clan of the demon clan, and the status is not shaken for thousands of years, relying on this method, the change chapter is practiced to the ninth level to the extreme, and it can reach the realm of 'turning around and turning into wishes, transforming all things', but this is the realm that only the great demon Daji has reached in the past, which is beyond the reach of the ordinary demon clan, in the past hundred years, it is only two demons who can practice the change chapter to the eighth level. ”

Ying Feiyang asked, "Hu Bugui is one of them?"

Mu Zixuan denied: "No, it's as clever as Hu Buwei, but he has only practiced the change chapter to the seventh level, and the one who can practice to the eighth level is Hu Buwei's brother, the former 'war fox' Hu Buwei, but he forced the cultivation of the Heavenly Fox Ruyi Method, although it was cultivated, but the foundation was unstable, and finally he went mad and died in a battle." ”

"The other is the current Hu family's seventh girl Hu Mei, this woman is talented, and the other chapters of the Heavenly Fox Ruyi Law are practiced very ordinary, but the change chapter is a touch, if you only talk about the art of change, today should be headed by her. But even so, it is still difficult to be seamless, even if the appearance is exactly the same, the inside is different after all, memory, manners, and even inconspicuous small habits, may be noticed by people, if there is no long-term observation and imitation of the goal of change, it is not difficult to deceive the people around you for a while, but it will always be exposed after a long time. ”

After a long speech, Mu Zixuan asked rhetorically, "Why are you suddenly interested in these, but what have you discovered?"

"It's just a suspicion that has yet to be confirmed. ”

Mu Zixuan was interested: "You might as well talk about it." ”

Ying Feiyang sneered: "If you want me to say, I'll say it, don't forget, you are still the target of my suspicion, if you want me to say it, it's okay, but if you find out in the future, you can't lie to me, let's exchange information." ”

Mu Zixuan exclaimed: "In the past year and a half, you have really grown a lot, and you are finally not sold like before and helped count the copper plates, okay, I will promise you, and I have no basis to say by the way, if you want me to make an oath, I can make a poisonous oath in the name of my most respected master." ”

Ying Feiyang rolled his eyelids and said, "Don't say these useless words, if you want to listen, come with your ears." ”

Mu Zixuan leaned his head over as he said, and after listening to a few words, his eyes were shining brighter and brighter, and after listening, he clapped his hands and said: "Senior brother, you are keen, this is indeed a useful discovery, and the speculation in my heart has also been supported, it seems that this blind-covering fog will be cleared tomorrow!"
