Yangzhou in April is a different appearance, the smoke and rain are hazy, the bluestone slab small oil umbrella, and the spring Pipa Lane is full of gardens. At this time of the year, there will be an endless rain in Yangzhou, dripping, on the roof, in the stream, the pavilion and rockery, all become euphemistic in this rain, like a girl in the boudoir, full of spring but pretending to be reserved. Yangzhou Mu Xin Ange stood in the city lord's mansion, looking at Yangzhou City shrouded in smoke and rain, frowning slightly, and his mood was like this fog cloudy. "Has the murderer been found in the murder case on the fifteenth day of the first month? But I was bitter in my heart, if I could have any clues, I would have caught the murderer a long time ago.

"I said Lieutenant Cao, you didn't think about the past, 'God knows' to ask if there are any clues? Maybe someone witnessed everything that night. ”

"What the adults said is, but you don't know, let's not say that 'God knows' is a reckless flow of rivers and lakes, and we have to rely on whether he will be gossiped about by outsiders to catch the murderer for the official. Secondly, adults know that contemptible people are usually honest and honest, so how can there be oil and water to trade news!"

Zhou Mu Xin Ange glanced at Cao County's big-bellied belly, and said coldly: "Don't think that the official doesn't say what you did, just treat the official as if you don't know." The random one you did was enough for you to die several times, if it weren't for the fact that this case involved Qingzhou Mu, Lao Tzu would be willing to wade into this troubled water. On weekdays, I just feel disgusted when I say a word to you. ”

After hearing this, Lieutenant Cao immediately knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy. "Fortunately, now the official doesn't want to regenerate right and wrong, you go back and deal with this case, how you like to deal with those things, don't get dirty water on me, otherwise you will die ugly! Get out!"

Cao County Lieutenant didn't dare to say a word, and rolled away from Xin Ange's sight like a gourd rolling on the ground. It's really rolling past.

"It's a talent, Yangzhou City, when will this rain fall?"

Outside the city of Yangzhou, in a courtyard.

Tianyi gently stroked an inch and a half in his hand, stood under the corridor and looked at the spring rain, two months have passed, and the people who went out to perform the task have returned. Some people come back early, while others don't. The rain dripped an inch and a half, and fell to the ground in an elegant arc along the blade. Tianyi noticed that the sword body trembled slightly, and responded to his touch. He smiled, happy from the bottom of his heart. The young mind, even in purgatory, can bloom the most beautiful flowers when he sees his beloved things.

"Tianyi, you are the most talented person in our stronghold, and there are two months left to be the big competition in the gang once every seven years. Would you like to participate?" The old man in black appeared beside Tianyi, appearing silently, and Tianyi was completely unaware of it. Suppressing the smile on his face, he lowered his head and said, "I will obey the wishes of the Governor." The old man seemed to know such an answer, and he was not surprised.

"Do you know the name of our gang? As for what we do, you've guessed what we do. The old man came to Tianyi's side and sat down on a stone bench and said slowly. Tianyi was very curious about what kind of sect and sect he was in, not only human life was like a mustard, but also the target of assassination, including the high positions of temples and the center of rivers and lakes, what a big force this was. I was curious in my heart, but my face was silent. There are no words, and the response to the old man is loneliness.

The old man seemed to have opened the conversation, and continued: "Our organization is called 'Black Under the Light', and it is an organization that hides in the dark, and the outside world calls us 'Shadows'. That's right, as long as you show your body, then either you die or the target dies. As for where you come from," the old man paused. Tianyi's heart jumped suddenly, he hadn't seen his parents since he was a child, and he was also curious about who he was and what his surname was, not Tianyi. The old man turned his head to look at Tianyi, trying to find something on his face, but he was a little disappointed.

He didn't believe that a seven-year-old child would have such a mind, even if he thought Tianyi was already a precocious person. He then continued, "Most of your parents died in natural disasters, and some of them were abandoned babies without a father or mother. Of course, there are some of them that are not lacking in man-made disasters, and as for you, I think your parents are no longer in the world. ”

Hearing the words that were similar to expectations, Tianyi's heart relaxed a little, but he couldn't hide his disappointment. Because he didn't know how to deal with his parents, who were still alive, knew what he had done.

The old man got up, patted his buttocks, and continued: "Your 'Poison Sutra' has been studied now, and how to use it next depends on your own understanding. For the next three months you will have to learn a skill that you need to live in the shadows. That's 'easy appearance'" After saying that, the old man slowly walked away.

Tianyi didn't know why the old man would say this to himself, but with the keen sense he had cultivated since childhood, he knew that the old man had no ill will towards him. 'Darkness under the lamp' I will also hide in the darkness and become a shadow from now on. I don't know why it feels like the rain has become endless.

After a few days, the teenagers who went out came back one after another, originally there were twenty-six people before they went out, and only eighteen came back, there were no casualties in Tianzihao, two people died in Dizihao, two people died in Xuanzihao, four died in the miserable yellow number, and only one person remained. Due to the fact that there were fewer people, their names were also changed, and the name of the Tianzi number did not change, and the name of the earth was changed to the sixth and seventh of the earth. The others are also so on, as for the yellow number, there is only one yellow one left. No one cares about the dead, they care about their rank and their share of supply.

Yes, I started teaching as usual, but it wasn't the man in green clothes who came, but it was a girl who exuded a charming atmosphere, saying that she was a girl, but from the lines on his neck, you can know that her real age is not small. But there is no trace of time on her face, and she is no different from a twenty-eight girl.

"Hehehe~ So many cute little brothers, my sister came to teach you today, if you have any personal questions to ask after class, I can tutor you 'alone'!" said the woman in pink with a smile, and stroked the faces of several young people casually. Then there was a coquettish laugh, and several young men stared at the woman, and their eyes showed the same color.

The people who usually come to teach are masked, and they are a little interested in this woman Tianyi, what kind of person is it, and after the woman circled around the young man, she returned to the front. Then he said, "You will be my students for the next period of time, I won't tell you what my name is, but you can call me the title of 'Thousand Faces Shura' on the rivers and lakes, you just need to know what to call it, you don't need to know why it's called it, hehehe~~~" After speaking, she turned around and took out a square wooden box, then took out some needle pens, and some gouache rouge, and after a few strokes on her face, the appearance of turning back was very different. The twenty-eight girl just now is now an old woman with a sixtieth birthday, and there is such a magical spell in the world. The curiosity of the young people was aroused.

"This science is called 'easy appearance' to change, the meaning of the appearance, a person's appearance is congenital, but each period will not be too different, affecting the appearance of the period of skin is also different, but after artificial intervention, it can change the skin color to a certain extent, the structure above the face, to achieve the effect of deceiving other people's eyes, in fact, it is also a kind of deception, there is a group of people in the rivers and lakes who rely on this craft to cheat and eat and drink. It's an insult to this art!" 'Thousand Faces Shura' said brightly, and when he talked about this, he looked confident, and when he heard this, he had a succession of techniques and specializations, and above this number of techniques, I am afraid that there are really few people in this world who can compare to her.

"As long as you use some methods to change your facial structure, plus some foreign objects to modify, such as fake beards, beauty moles, hats, etc., it will look more perfect, but after all, this is a foreign object, which can be changed for a while, but as long as you look carefully, you can still see that the most profound disguise technique in the world is - human skin mask. After finishing speaking, the Thousand Faces Shura paused, and found that everyone present took a deep breath because of his words, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and continued: "The so-called human skin mask is a mask made by taking human skin and using secret methods, which has the face in front of the deceased, and can also have his original skin, which is difficult for even the closest people to detect. It is an art, the supreme beauty and the beauty of the cold touch on the face. It's overwhelming!"

Tianyi looked at the look of the 'Thousand Faces Shura' when he talked about the human skin mask, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Then I saw the 'Thousand Faces Shura' take out the masks in her arms, and after watching her introduction like a few family treasures, my stomach tumbled. He secretly decided that he would never tolerate putting other people's skin on his face, and his conscience told him that he must not do this.

Then he laughed at himself and said, "A person like me still has a conscience!" After the 'Thousand Faces Shura' introduced her treasures one by one, it was already noon, and it was time for dinner. Unlike usual, the teenagers, who were originally obsessed with food, are a little disgusted to see these things at the moment.

I couldn't eat, so I went out to breathe, the air in the basement seemed so dirty to Tianyi, and when I walked into the backyard, I found that the light rain had stopped, and the sky was slightly shining with the long-lost sunshine. The sky is clear, and the heart is still rainy. It was so wet and muddy that I couldn't see the way I was coming from, and I couldn't find the way out.
