Chapter Eighty-Five: Light Moon and Shallow Stream
The old man was half a head shorter than Li Moru, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his long sleeves covered his hands and feet, seeing Li Moru smiling and leaning back and forth, he couldn't help it, and walked up to Li Moru angrily, grabbed Li Moru's collar, and said angrily: "Is it funny?"
Because he is slightly shorter than Li Moru, this posture of grabbing people's collars seems a little incongruous, and the more he talks, the more Li Moru can't stop laughing.
Li Moru saw that he was so angry that he covered his mouth with his hand, at this time, he saw the old man turn his head and tear off his face, he instantly smiled, and faintly felt a trace of terror, only to see that the person took another handful and ripped off his scalp.
Li Moru looked at his hand again, his heart was beating fast, and he saw an old man with a bright head and a gray hair, just like this, he became a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman in front of him.
She took off her robe again, Li Moru was stunned, the woman's face was as white as frost, she was wearing a long azure dress, the skirt was decorated with various patterns, and there was a silver bell ring hanging on her chest.
She threw all these things on the ground casually, stretched out her fingers as thin as magnolia and poked Li Moru's chest, and asked, "How is it, it's funny, aren't you going to continue laughing?"
Li Moru thought that she was a goblin in human skin, and there were many such people in the books of gods and ghosts he saw, so he hurriedly retreated, not even daring to breathe.
The woman saw that Li Moru had suddenly changed, and said, "What's wrong with you? Am I so good-looking? Why are you scared like this?"
Li Moru hurriedly said: "What kind of goblin are you?" Did you kill that old man, and then tear off his skin and drape it on himself for camouflage?"
He took two steps back, holding his long sword, and pointed at the woman, "Goblin, I tell you, I'm not afraid of you, if you dare to come near me again, I'll kill you." ”
The woman wondered: "What are you talking about? What goblins are not goblins, I am a human being, a normal person, a master just taught me the art of disguise, you don't know anything at all." ”
"Transfiguration?" Li Moru hurriedly asked, "What is disfigurement?"
The woman said: "It is a craft used to change one's appearance so that others cannot recognize oneself, let me tell you, this craft, other people are not as good as my master, after he changed his appearance, even I can't recognize it." ”
Li Moru put away his sword, took two steps towards the woman, lightly poked her cheek with his finger, and then quickly withdrew it and said, "Are you really human? ”
He had already thought that no matter what the cost, he must learn this skill, so that he would no longer be afraid of being hunted down.
He plucked up the courage to walk towards the woman, riveted his strength, took a deep breath, and said, "If you can, can you please teach me this kung fu?"
The woman was frightened by Li Moru's sudden change, she took two steps back, and said, "You are so strange, you laughed at me before, and just now you thought I was a goblin change, and now you want me to teach you the disguise technique, are you sick?"
Li Moru took a step forward and said, "I'm sorry, girl, maybe this request is a bit hasty, but I've always thought about how to change my appearance so that people can't recognize me." ”
The woman said: "You have a good job, if you want to change your appearance, it is difficult to ......"
Li Moru told her directly without thinking about it: "I have a lot of enemies, and they all want to kill me, so I have been thinking about how to change my appearance, so that I can go out for a walk during the day and no longer have to go out at night." ”
His words did not hide his current situation in the slightest, and his words were earnest, which made the woman a little moved, but she said: "Although I am sad for your experience, I still can't teach you. ”
Li Moru asked, "Why?"
"Because Master said that this skill can't be passed on casually, and besides, there are very strict requirements for the disguise technique to require human skin, even if I teach you, you can't get it. ”
The moonlight was falling, the old man's silver hair and clothes were lying on the ground, Li Moru thought about the woman's words for a while, and said, "Girl, can you sell me this mask on the ground?"
"No, although I don't like this set, but now I only have this set on me, if I give it to you, then I will have a good time, no. ”
"You're not from here, are you?"
"Of course not, I live in Fanjing Mountain with my master, it's far from here, I came out to play without telling my master, and now I have to rush back." ”
"How far is Fanjing Mountain from here?"
The woman stretched out her hand and broke her fingers and began to count, shaking her head from time to time, and the bell on her body swayed with a crisp sound.
"It's almost a day's journey!"
Li Moru asked, "Do you know martial arts?"
The woman said: "Yes, it's just that the martial arts are not too high." ”
"Do you have any enemies?"
"Of course I don't get this, I don't go down the mountain often, and my husband may have a feud with someone else. ”
Li Moru was curious, since she knew martial arts and had no enemies, why did she use the disguise technique, "Then why do you use the disguise technique?"
"My grandfather said that the people down the mountain are very bad, especially to the little girl, so if I go down the mountain to play, I must pay attention to safety and hide my appearance, so as not to be disturbed by others. ”
When he heard the lust, Li Moru took a serious look at the woman in front of him at this time, fifteen or sixteen years old, her face was like frost, her complexion was snow-white, and she had an indescribable clear spirit, like a snow-lotus flower that was not stained with dust, and when she spoke, she could faintly see the dimples on her face.
Li Moru said: "Your grandfather is right, there are many bad people in the world, and you should really protect yourself." ”
The woman smiled slightly, revealing a small tiger tooth, and said: "However, I forgive them and don't dare to provoke me, but I have learned a lot from my master how to use Gu poison, if they provoke me, I will use them as experiments." ”
Li Moru had a plan in his heart and said, "Do you think this is good, what about me to protect you and return to Fanjing Mountain, and then when the time comes, you will sell me this set of masks, and by the way, how about teaching me the disguise technique?"
The woman shook her head again and said, "No, I can't pass on this disguise technique, I will be scolded by the master." ”
"Okay!"
The woman saw Li Moru's depressed look and said: "Otherwise, you go with me to find my master, when the time comes, you ask him to see if he is willing to teach you, if he is willing to teach you the best, if you are not willing to think of other ways when the time comes, what is it?"
Li Moru nodded again and again, at least not at all, there is no hope, and he should try it if he has the opportunity.
"When are we leaving? ”
"Go now, I have to go back quickly, and if he finds me running out by then, he will have to scold me to death." ”
The woman picked up the things on the ground, wrapped the mask and hair in the clothes, and then stuffed it to Li Moru and said, "Let's go, hurry up, don't you have a horse, let's ride back." ”
As she spoke, the woman staggered towards Li Moru's horse, and the bell on her body jingled, which was very pleasant.
Li Moru hugged the thing and followed.
Li Moru saw that she didn't get on the horse for a long time, and asked, "What's the matter? You can't have never ridden a horse, right?"
She muttered and said, "Let's do it, there are mountains everywhere, what are you doing on horseback, you say I ride it, will it throw me off?"
Li Moru smiled: "Don't worry, it won't." ”
"Really? still no, it feels a little dangerous, otherwise, I'll give it a Gu first, if it wants to hit me, I'll let the Gu worm bite it." ”
While the woman was still thinking about what to do with this thing, suddenly, as if someone had grabbed her back, she involuntarily let out a scream, and by the time she could react, she was already on horseback.
Li Moru's voice came from behind, "Hold on to that rope and don't fall down for a while." ”
After she heard Li Moru's words, she hurriedly grabbed the reins tightly in her hand, bent her body down, and stuck to the horse's back, for fear of falling.
She lay on the horse's back and didn't dare to move, while Li Moru put away the things that the woman threw at him and put them in the baggage, she tentatively reached out and touched the horse's mane, and after seeing that the horse didn't move, she was a little bolder, stretched out her hand, and stroked the horse's neck.
She stroked the horse's mane, and when she saw that the horse did not resist, she slowly raised her body and said, "Little horse, you have to be obedient, obedient, don't throw me down, if you hear it, if you dare to throw me down, I'll - I'll spank you." ”
The shadow of the tree swayed, the breeze came, the horse moved a little twice, and she quickly lay down again, closed her eyes tightly, and made a voice begging for mercy, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I won't threaten you anymore." ”
After Li Moru finished packing up his things, he flew on the horse and said, "Little girl, don't you know how to do light work, how can you be afraid of falling off the horse?"
She replied in a low voice: "I know how to do light work, but, you know, as soon as I got on the horse, my feet were weak, how can I do light work?"
Li Moru laughed, always feeling that the girl in front of her was very cute, like a child who had not grown up, especially because her body looked petite and cute, which was even more endearing.
The woman threatened him: "You still laugh, if you laugh again, I will bite you with a Gu worm." ”
Li Moru asked, "What is a Gu worm?"
"You don't even know what a Gu worm is?"
"I don't know, for Wu Gu, I just saw a little bit occasionally when I was reading a book, and I didn't have any extra understanding. ”
She explained to Li Moru: Put all kinds of poisonous poisonous insects in a closed container, let them fight each other in it, and the last one left is called Gu.
He understood the general idea and said, "In other words, Gu worms are very poisonous insects, right?"
She nodded and said, "Hmm."
"Then such a poisonous bug, how did you bring it with you, aren't you afraid that it will bite you?"
"Different Gu masters have different methods to control their own Gu cultivation, as long as they master the method of controlling Gu worms, they can manipulate Gu worms, so we never worry that raising Gu worms by ourselves will bite us. ”
Li Moru hurriedly stepped back a fist distance and said, "Then if I sit with you, if it doesn't bite you, won't it bite me?"
She smiled: "Don't worry, I'm very well-behaved, I don't let them move, they won't move." ”
"I take the liberty of asking, where are all your Gu worms placed?"
The woman said, "You see this silver ring around my neck." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Most of the Gu worms I have now are in this, of course, the earrings, and the hairpin on the top of the head, my master is more powerful, all over the body, everywhere, even I don't know how much he hides, and in the container, the small insects are usually dormant, and they won't run out on their own, unless, we are attacked, they will take the initiative to wake up, so you can rest assured." ”
"Alright, let's go now!"
"Okay, go, hurry up, or the old man will find out that I am gone, and he will be in a hurry." ”
