Chapter Sixty-Four: Transfiguration
"Oh, I'd love to see what kind of object could make you say something like that?" Lin Yan said coldly as he looked at the man who was almost curled up on the floor.
As soon as Lin Yan's words fell, the man felt the pain in his heart stop instantly.
The man's almost distorted face was relieved by the pain. Then he slowly got up from the ground, bowed slightly and looked at the young man opposite him, his heart was full of resentment and jealousy, and he wished that he could kill this person immediately.
However, compared to the gap between the two people's cultivation, there is also a foreign body lurking in his body. The man knew very well that this absurd idea should be thought about at most, if he really dared to reveal the slightest bit, he was afraid that he would become a cold corpse in the next moment. This young-looking man is not a soft-hearted man.
The man gathered his thoughts and said respectfully to Lin Yan: "I beg my seniors to let me go after they get this thing." ”
"Huh?" Lin Yan's tone sank, and he looked at the man with unkind eyes and asked, "Do you think you have the capital to bargain with me?"
The man's face tightened, and he quickly shook his head.
"Well, you know. Take out the item you want to exchange for your life. It's just that whether it really has relative value enough to exchange for your life needs to be judged by me after I have seen it. Lin Yan said slowly.
The man gritted his teeth, knowing that his life was pinched between the other party's thoughts at this moment, and he couldn't allow himself to resist at all.
The man immediately slapped his right hand on his waist, and the next moment a yellowed, slightly worn book appeared on his right hand. Then the man held the book in both hands, took a few steps forward, and respectfully handed the book to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan did not immediately read the book, but turned his eyes and glanced at the book.
Well?
Transfiguration?
When Lin Yan saw the five big black characters on the skin of the book, his heart suddenly moved, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind, this person has such a breathing ability, could it be related to this book?
The man had been paying attention to Lin Yan's expression, and when he saw a trace of doubt flashing in the other party's eyes, the tension in his heart was inexplicably relaxed. He was really afraid that the other party would not be tempted at all, but at the moment he seemed to be quite curious about the items he had taken out. He knew the truth of striking while the iron was hot, and saving his life at the moment was the most important thing, so he immediately said: "The reason why Wang Yunhu sent me to follow my predecessors is precisely because I like the ability to hide my breath. ”
"Could it be that your skills have something to do with this book?" Lin Yan slowly put the book in his hand on the table and asked flatly.
"Although people who know me outside think that this ability to conceal the aura is due to someone's own talent, in fact, it is actually because of the cultivation of this technique. The man said cautiously.
"There's also the word shapeshifter on this book. Lin Yan said softly, and then turned his gaze to the man.
The man immediately understood, and immediately explained: "After cultivating this post, the cultivator can change his body shape and appearance to a certain extent. As for how much it can be changed, it depends on the depth of cultivation of this technique. ”
"According to the books, those who are advanced in cultivation can completely become the appearance of others, and even their voices can become ordinary. ”
"Oh?" After Lin Yan heard the man's explanation, his heart suddenly became extremely interested, although this shapeshifting interest rate does not have much effect on strength, but it may play an unexpected role in some aspects.
"Is it really as you said?" Lin Yan gathered his thoughts and immediately asked.
"This ......" The man suddenly squeaked and whined, with a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing this, Lin Yan's face suddenly sank.
Seeing Lin Yan's gradually gloomy face, the man's face suddenly changed and shouted, "Cultivating this shape-shifting method requires great pain every day. So I've only practiced this method of swapping, and I haven't really touched this shapeshifter. ”
"Although I don't know how my predecessors saw through my interest exchange method, I have also done a lot of things with the interest exchange method before, but I have never been discovered. Therefore, I believe that the means of distortion in this book must be exactly what it says. After the man finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he didn't expect that he would capsize in the gutter today. At the same time, there was also a trace of curiosity in his heart, he was extremely cautious at the time, and with this invincible method of exchanging interest, how did this person find out.
Even if this person wanted to break his head, I am afraid that he would not have imagined that Lin Yan had an ancient beast like the Blood-Devouring Mother Ant by his side.
Lin Yan retracted his gaze, if it weren't for Lin Qian's existence, he wouldn't have been able to find any trace of this person at all, so he believed in the man's words a little. As for the authenticity of this book, he expected that the other party would not dare to take his name as a child's play.
Seeing Lin Yan's appearance, the man's heart was relieved, knowing that the other party believed what he said.
Then Lin Yan tapped the index finger of his right hand lightly on the tabletop, closed his eyes, and showed a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about whether this book could be exchanged for that person's life.
Lin Yan's brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes stretched, and his face sometimes showed hesitation.
The man's gaze stayed on Lin Yan's face, and when he saw the hesitation on the other party's face, his heart tightened inexplicably. This is why he is not nervous, and his life is in the hands of this person at this time.
After a while, Lin Yan slowly opened his eyes and said, "If this book is really like you, then it is worth changing your life." But ......"
As soon as he heard Lin Yan's first half of the sentence, the man suddenly became overjoyed, knowing that he had made the right bet. Although this shapeshifting breath technique is very precious, it is insignificant compared to his own life. Moreover, the cultivation methods recorded in this book had long been firmly remembered in his mind, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.
However, when the man heard the word Lin Yan following, the joy that had just appeared on his face suddenly froze. An irrepressible anger suddenly surged from his heart, almost making him can't help but scold, he feels that he is shameless enough, but compared with the man in front of him who looks much younger than himself, he is embarrassed to show off his shamelessness.
Seeing the man's instantly flushed face, Lin Yan didn't know that the other party was afraid that he had scolded himself fiercely in his heart just now.
However, Lin Yan didn't care much about it, but continued: "But if you want to save your life completely, you still need to do one thing for me." ”
The man suppressed the anger in his heart and said cautiously: "If it is the palace dungeon, then the senior will simply give me death." ”
Lin Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you have taken out this book." Naturally, it's not good to force you to explore the palace dungeon. ”
"If it weren't for this matter, then as long as someone could do it, he would definitely die. When the man heard that the other party didn't let him do this, his heart suddenly relaxed.
Lin Yan nodded slightly, and continued: "As long as you honestly do what I explained, I will naturally let you die." ”
The man nodded.
"How long have you been in the ghost capital?" Lin Yan did not immediately explain what he needed the man to do, but instead asked how long the other party had stayed in the ghost capital.
The man didn't know what Lin Yan meant by this, but he still replied honestly: "It's been almost eight years. ”
"It's almost eight years. Lin Yan repeated, then picked up the teacup that was already cool, lowered his head and took a sip and asked, "Then you should be quite familiar with ghosts." ”
"Familiar. The man replied.
Lin Yan was overjoyed, looked at the man with his head slightly raised, and said, "As long as you need to help me find the strongholds of the other three sects in the ghost capital, inform me." Not only will I spare your life, but I will also give you a good reward. ”
The man's pupils shrank, this person actually let himself find the stronghold of the three sects, and the ghosts were still rumored to be destroyed in the past two days The destruction of the stronghold of the Mingyang Sect is related to the palace. Although the palace stood up for the first time to show his innocence, there were obviously not many people who believed it. After all, ordinary forces, where would they dare to easily touch the four major sects entrenched at the top of the border.
Could it be ...... A thought suddenly appeared in the man's mind that made him tremble when he thought about it lightly, it could be that the destruction of the Mingyang Sect's stronghold had a lot to do with this person. In addition, there are rumors outside that this matter is related to the palace, and it won't be the news that this person released it, if this matter is really related to him, then ...... Does this person want to deal with the royal palace?
"What is the background of this person?"
The more the man thought about it, the more terrible he felt, if it was really as he expected, then he was unintentionally involved in this kind of whirlpool, which could be doomed forever. He suddenly felt how stupid he was, and he would have agreed to Wang Yunhu to follow this person in a frenzy.
The man took a deep breath, put aside the many thoughts in his mind for the time being, and said more and more respectfully to Lin Yan: "Today, I will offend my seniors in front of me, and I will definitely complete this matter as soon as possible for my seniors, and then leave the ghost capital immediately and never come back." In addition, I can't bear the reward, I just hope that my seniors can let me live when the time comes. ”
The man was afraid, for fear that this person would kill himself when the time came.
Lin Yan glanced at the man, and secretly said in his heart that this person was so alert, presumably what he had just asked him to do had already made him guess.
"Don't worry, as long as you do this well, I won't break my promise. Lin Yan said calmly: "However, you'd better keep your thoughts honestly in your heart, and if you declare them easily." The result is not what you and I want to see. ”
The man's heart sank, and he immediately replied: "Seniors, you can rest assured, you will never joke with your own life." ”
"I believe that you are a smart person, and naturally you will not do something stupid. Lin Yan said lightly.
Then Lin Yan waved his hand, signaling that the man could leave.
The man bowed, and immediately did not stop there, turned and walked to the door, opened the door and walked out. After the man slowly closed the door, he felt the chill behind him, knowing that it was a reminder that everything was real before.
"Whatever this person's purpose is, these are not for a little foundation-building monk like mine to touch. For now, hurry up and finish what the man explained, and then leave the ghost capital as quickly as possible. The man had already sensed in his heart a danger lurking in the ghost capital.
Lin Yan looked at the man who was in a hurry to leave, Lin Qian was in this person's body, and he was not afraid of what tricks this person would play. Then his mind moved, and a jade talisman fell into his hand.
"Oh, I'd love to see what kind of object could make you say something like that?" Lin Yan said coldly as he looked at the man who was almost curled up on the floor.
As soon as Lin Yan's words fell, the man felt the pain in his heart stop instantly.
