followed Sui Anran into the room, and in the dark room, Li Moru saw a lot of miscellaneous things, including bottles and cans, a pile of clothes, and the mask he was thinking about.

Li Moru took a few steps forward, and involuntarily reached out to touch the mask, which felt very strange, as if it were a real person, and he asked, "Miss An Ran, how do you make this mask, how do you do it so realistically?"

Sui Anran said: "What else can be done, of course, it is directly taken from the corpse." ”

"Taken from a corpse?"

Sui Anran said: "Why don't you believe it?"

"I ...... It's a little. ”

"Don't worry, these masks of ours are all pulled from the corpses that expose the wilderness, we haven't been mad enough to kill people, and these are all made by the master in the early years, I haven't done it. ”

Sui Anran picked up a mask casually and said, "I heard the master say that he used a special kind of Gu worm, the Gu worm crawled under the human face, and it would eat the flesh that connects the human skin and the face, and completely rip off the whole face from the corpse." ”

"After picking it off, it is brewed with a special poison, finally dried, and then soaked with other poisons, and finally eaten some of the remaining things with Gu worms, which becomes the current mask, how about it, do you still want to learn it now?"

Li Moru nodded, "Learn, of course learn, why don't you learn, it's all a disguised life, it doesn't matter what way it is." ”

Li Moru followed Sui Anran and began to learn the disguise technique, which is not difficult, but it requires some special adhesives, put the mask on the face, and then match the corresponding clothes and hair accessories, plus the tone of speech.

In the final analysis, the most difficult thing about the disguise technique is the acquisition of masks, the selection of Gu worms, and the selection and production of venom, and this series of processes is the most complicated.

Because it was simple, he learned it quickly, and it didn't take long to master it, and Sui Anran also taught him how to use local materials, and how to make it when he didn't have that kind of adhesive on his body.

The two stayed in the room until the afternoon, and at sunset, Li Moru understood all the disguise techniques except for the mask making part, and he didn't plan to learn the mask making part, first, two or three masks were enough for him, and second, if he really needed it, he would talk about it at that time.

Dusk came, the old man Gu asked the two to eat, after the meal, Li Moru and Sui Anran sat by the mushroom stone, Sui Anran looked at the Miao Village at the bottom of the mountain, as if he was waiting for something.

Li Moru asked, "What's the matter, you're listless after dinner?"

"I'm waiting for dark. ”

"Wait until it gets dark?"

"Hmm. ”

"Why?"

"Because I can't go to see my grandfather until after dark. ”

Li Moru didn't understand and said, "Why after dark?"

The corners of Sui Anran's mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "Because Miao Village can't tolerate me during the day." ”

Li Moru was speechless for a while, he wanted to say something comforting, but when the words came to his mouth, he was blocked back.

Sui Anran held his chin with his hands and shook his head, quietly waiting for the night to fall on the edge of the mushroom stone, and after Sui Anran left, Li Moru found the answer in the old man Gu.

The old man said to Li Moru that people are more afraid of the unknown than of known threats.

Li Moru walked to the side of the mushroom stone, looking at the dim Miao Village, there was only a faint light, he picked up the sword and practiced under the dark clouds.

In the early morning of the next day, when Li Moru got up early to practice, he met Sui Anran coming up from under the golden roof with a tired face, the two looked at each other, Li Moru nodded at her, and she also politely said hello to Li Moru and walked towards the room.

At that time, the old man Gu used the golden thread Gu again to help Li Moru dredge the muscles and veins, helping the internal force in his body to fuse.

Today's pain is no less than yesterday, or even worse, maybe he is used to it, Li Moru did not shout again, but sat cross-legged and meditated, breathing the internal force in his body.

He tried to follow the Golden Thread Gu with his internal force, and felt even more uncomfortable, so he tried to use the internal force to lead the Golden Thread Gu to move, and the effect was obviously much better.

Seeing Li Moru's face getting better, the old man couldn't help but smile, "Boy, you are really unwilling to be ordinary, how good it is to stay honest." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's okay, you'll understand in a moment. ”

Before Li Moru could react, the movement speed of the Golden Thread Gu in his body suddenly increased, so fast that he was a little caught off guard, the pain intensified, he broke out in a cold sweat, and clenched his teeth.

"Well, is the shortcut so easy to take?"

Li Moru gritted his teeth and replied word by word: "The shortcut is not easy to take, but I have already chosen this path, so I will naturally go on." ”

The old man laughed, "Yes, boy, you have three points of backbone, I want to see how long your three points of backbone can make you last, since the shortcuts have been taken, then let the old man give you a ride." ”

The index finger and middle finger of the old man Gu were brought together, and he injected internal force into several acupuncture points of Li Moru's Tiantu, Xuanji, Huagai, and Zigong, and as soon as the internal force entered Li Moru's body, it instantly rushed towards Li Moru's limbs.

In front of the Golden Thread Gu, there was Li Moru's internal force to open the way, and after that, there was the internal force of the old man Gu to catch up, not to mention the speed, and he became a little impatient.

Li Moru was so painful that he almost fell asleep, he tried his best to keep himself conscious, and the old man told him that if he gave up at this time, he might go mad at any time.

He suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back, and he didn't dare to nap at all, allowing the golden thread Gu to move in his body, and his limbs began to tremble, not only that, but he only felt that there were traces of the movement of the golden thread Gu on his divine court, his head was splitting, his eyes were red, and the corners of his mouth began to fight.

"Boy, if you get through, it's a transformation, if you can't get through, it's a dead end, remember, there is no easy way to go down, if you want to take a shortcut, you have to suffer ten times more than the original way, this is fair. ”

Li Moru replied in a trembling voice: "I understand, since I have chosen, I will naturally go on, isn't it just death? ”

The old man laughed, the movement outside aroused Sui Anran's curiosity, she stood not far from the two of them and looked at them, looking at Li Moru, whose lips were white and trembling all over, under the sun, the white mist kept rising, and she couldn't help but sweat for Li Moru.

She couldn't figure out what the person in front of her was working for.

After an hour, Li Moru's pain in his body was relieved, and the old man said to Sui Anran: "An Ran, go and prepare a bucket of potion for him, two taels of camphor branches, mulberry branches, willow branches, and mugwort leaves, boil over high heat, and then wait for a while to take him to soak it." ”

Sui Anran nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The old man said, "It's okay to struggle for half an hour, can you still do it?"

Li Moru's pale lips opened and closed unhurriedly, and the corners of his mouth rose, "Of course, who made me choose a dead end." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Don't say it, you are really similar to that bastard in Huiyang." ”

Li Moru endured the pain but did not resent his previous choice, he always thought that since he had chosen the path he wanted to take, he should keep going, at most it was just a dead word, no big deal.

Sui Anran went to get branches and dried mugwort leaves, added firewood under the large vat set up in the backyard, threw the medicinal herbs into it, and increased the firewood, and soon the water in the vat began to simmer hot.

It wasn't until the water boiled and began to cool down that a heart-rending scream came from a distance, and Sui Anran finally put his mind at ease, "This person is so strange." ”

It didn't take long for Li Moru to walk towards the backyard with the support of the old man Mi Gu, looking at him, his limbs were weak, his face was pale, and his lips were not bloody.

With the support of Old Man Gu and Sui Anran, he took off his coat and walked into the water tank.

He sat cross-legged in it, sweating all over his body, and under the soak of hot water, his body began to gradually warm up, and the old man smiled and said, "Boy, yes, I actually survived." ”

Li Moru sneered, "Thanks to the seniors." ”

"Boy, remember, everything is not fast, think about it before you want to take a shortcut in the future, some roads are not so easy to walk, you must know, if it is not for me to help you transport internal force in time, once the Golden Thread Gu develops the habit of moving forward quickly, a careless will disrupt all the tendons and veins in your body, and when the time comes, you will have no place to cry." ”

Li Moru said embarrassedly: "Thank you seniors, I was also curious for a while, thinking that since the Golden Thread Gu adjusts the internal force by dredging the tendons and veins, then if I use the internal force to cooperate with him, it stands to reason that it should be faster." ”

"Take it for granted, but at this time, you have survived, after you tossed it like this, the internal force in your body is also fused together, and in the future, you will practice diligently and adapt to the internal force in your body as soon as possible. ”

Li Moru nodded.

"Okay, Xiao Anran, you go and rest, I know you are like this, you must not have rested all night, go to sleep, he has me here, you don't need to worry about it." ”

"Okay, master, I'll go to sleep, I've done so much, I want to eat delicious at night." ”

Li Moru smiled: "Miss An Ran, you can sleep in peace, I will make you something to eat at night." ”

Her eyes lit up, "You know how to cook?"

"I used to make it for my master and husband a lot, and I should be able to eat it. ”

Sui Anran smiled: "It's so good, I finally don't have to eat the food made by the master." ”

The old man Gu looked a little ugly, and said, "Hurry up and go to sleep, and make food for you and pick and choose, I don't understand the painstaking work of being a teacher at all." ”

Sui Anran walked to the door, grimaced, and said with a smile: "I didn't eat it bitterly, but the bitterness is quite heavy." With that, he turned around and ran towards his room.

The old man said: "What do you know, the master is cultivating your mind, and you have to endure hardships to become a master, and you have worked hard for the teacher, and you are actually ......"

Sui Anran ran away without looking back, and said before leaving, "Brother Li, I'll wait for you to cook a meal at night, don't let me down." ”

Li Moru couldn't help but smile as she looked at her back as she gradually moved away.

As the waning moon gradually dawned, Li Moru made a table of meals for the old man Gu and Sui Anran, he caught a pheasant on the mountain, picked some mushrooms, made pheasant stewed mushrooms, and whipped the vegetables in the kitchen for a while, piecing together three or four dishes.

Seeing so many dishes, the old man couldn't help but take out the good wine that he had treasured for many years.

Sui Anran said with a smile: "Master, when I look at this dish, it is much better than what you make, oops, I didn't expect that I would have this blessing in my lifetime." ”

The old man slapped a chestnut on top of her head, "Do you dislike the food your master and I cook so much?"

Sui Anran hurriedly sandwiched a chopstick meat and tasted back: "To be honest, the master said that the dishes you cooked, every time you boiled them in water, they told me that they could eat them, you see, I made you lose weight." ”

Looking at the way the two of them were bickering, the corners of Li Moru's mouth rose, and he missed Lao Yang Tou a little.

"I don't believe it, it's really that delicious?"

He stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a chopstick, chewed slowly, expressionless, and said, "That's it, it's almost the same as what I did." ”

Sui Anran glanced at him and said, "It's okay, since it's similar to what you do, then you can do it, leave this pot of chicken to me, and I can continue to eat it tomorrow." ”

The old man immediately clipped another piece, "Haven't you heard that eating food overnight is not good for your health, for the sake of your body, I will eat more today." ”

Li Moru picked up the bowl and said to Old Man Gu and Sui Anran: "Senior Mi, junior I respect you and Miss An Ran, thank you for taking care of me in the past few days and teaching me the kindness of disguise technique." ”

The old man raised the bowl and said with a smile: "I'm the most annoying person to say thank you, come, drink and drink, I don't want to do this, the food is good tonight, I want to drink more." ”
