Chapter Twenty-Three: Transfiguration
Ah Zhu brought a few pots of daffodil-shaped flowers and trees from the garden with a few subordinates, and handed me a branch that had just been cut down, and said, "This is the drunken fairy Lingfu and the sea ridge fragrant wood, do you see it?"
I took the sea ridge incense wood in my hand, and found that the xylem near the fracture secreted white resin, smelled it, there was almost no smell, Ah Zhu said: "This sea ridge wood usually has no smell, it must be lit."
We found a spare barn, put a cat and a dog in it, moved in a few pots of drunken fairy lingfu, used a knife to cut off a few pieces of this sea ridge fragrant wood, put it in the incense burner and lit it, the incense wood burned quietly, almost no smoke and flames, exuding a burst of sweet fragrance
Ah Bi sniffed and said, "The aroma is mixed with the floral fragrance of the drunken fairy hibiscus, and the taste is quite good, is this the wonderful poison that you said can make people unknowingly tricked, why don't I feel anything?"
Azhu also said: "I don't feel it at all."
I said: "Although the Drunken Fairy Lingfu and the Sea Ridge Fragrant Wood are both non-toxic, once they are mixed, they are very toxic, so let's go out quickly and watch outside."
We exited the barn, observed in the crack of the door, after a while, the kitten that was originally very lively lay down and did not move, effective, we were very happy, and after a while, the fat big dog also collapsed to the ground, successful, this sea ridge fragrant wood can really replace the role of the strange dace fragrant wood, the disadvantage is that it must be ignited, the taste is also somewhat obvious, can not be like the strange dahu fragrant wood in the sky, killing people invisibly, but this is not a problem that cannot be solved
The three of us discussed for a long time, made a careful plan, and the next morning, Ah Bi rowed a small boat out to pick up people, and Ah Zhu and I stayed at Swallow Dock to make final preparations
According to the scheduled arrangement, Ah Zhu wanted to pretend to be Murong Gongzi to receive Gu Mozhi, but saw that Ah Zhu first made a bowl of water, then added various colors of pigments to the bowl, mixed it into a pink liquid, and then added flour, and a flesh-colored dough, and the delicate hands pinched for a while, and the dough became a thin mask, and as soon as I put it on my face, Murong Fu's gloomy handsome face appeared in front of me
Although I knew that Ah Zhu had a disguise stunt, I was still surprised when I saw it with my own eyes, because Ah Zhu was so similar, whether it was his face or voice, he was exactly the same as Murong Fu, almost to the extent of being fake
Seeing this scene, I finally couldn't help but ask a question that I was worried about when I read the original book, and said: "Sister Azhu, you should have learned this disguise technique from Childe."
Ah Zhu said: "Needless to say, I was still a **-year-old girl when I entered Shenhezhuang, I didn't understand anything, and all the skills I knew were naturally taught by my son."
I said: "In this case, the son's disguise technique must be more sophisticated, so why doesn't he pretend to be the emperor, isn't the cause of reviving Dayan immediately realized?"
Azhu smiled: "How can there be such a good thing, no matter how clever the disguise technique is, it is impossible to be exactly the same as me, take a step back and say, even if the appearance can really be exactly the same, there will be a huge difference in demeanor, action and language, and it is still impossible to deceive acquaintances."
It dawned on me that yes, the population of the modern world is so large, and there are a lot of people who are born with exactly the same appearance, and some political figures with many enemies, such as Saddam, have found several people who look exactly like themselves to be their stand-ins, attend various ceremonies in his place, and even receive foreign guests, and the people can't tell the truth from the fake at all, but his generals still recognize it, and they won't make the fake come true at all, but they will be replaced by a stand-in, that's the reason
Ah Zhu continued: "What's more, there are still many weaknesses in this disguise technique, such as this mask is made of flour, it must not be wet, and it will dry up and fall off after a long time, which is quite troublesome, and if you change your face for a long time, it will definitely reveal flaws, so this disguise technique can only be surprisingly successful in the face of the living, and it is impossible to rely on this to revive Dayan."
Ah Zhu is really smart, quite sober about the defects of her disguise technique, in the original book, she pretended to be Bai Shijing and failed, was recognized by Mrs. Ma, and then was deceived into dying, that is because she couldn't think that Bai Shijing and Mrs. Ma are acquaintances who can't be more familiar, this is the crime of non-war
Although the Murong family's disguise technique is not omnipotent, and there are great restrictions on its use, it is still an amazing skill, if it is used in the right place, the effect is amazing, I must learn the hand, so I said: "Sister Azhu, can you teach me this disguise kung fu?"
Ah Zhu smiled: "Okay, from tomorrow onwards, you can learn to pinch your face with me, by the way, how is the first layer of your Dou Zhuan Xing Shift?" Her current face and voice are completely Murong Fu's, but her voice is the cute tone of a little girl, which feels really weird
I said, "This ...... This kung fu is very difficult to practice, I just tried to run it, and I felt that my blood was surging, and I couldn't practice it at all."
Ah Zhu said: "This is natural, the ancestral magic skills of the Murong family, where is it so easy to practice, even if it is Ah Bi, he has been practicing for five or six years, and the first layer has not succeeded."
Ah Zhu said again: "My disguise kung fu is based on the Dou Zhuan Xing Shifting Heart Method, if you don't practice the Dou Zhuan Xing Xing Shift, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it."
I wondered: "Isn't it just making masks, why does it still involve martial arts?"
Ah Zhu smiled: "Take a good look at my face, is this just a mask?"
I took a closer look and found that Murong Fu's gloomy face suddenly came alive, and he couldn't stop squeezing his eyebrows and making all kinds of grimaces at me, which formed a strong contrast with Murong Fu, who had always been calm and serious, and I couldn't help laughing
I finally know the fundamental difference between the Murong family's disguise technique and the ordinary mask, that is, the expression, even if the ordinary mask is perfect, it is always dead, there is only one fixed expression, but Azhu's mask can make all kinds of expressions as he wants, vivid, almost the same as the real human face, this is the real strength of the Murong family's disguise technique, no wonder there is only one in Jin Yong's book
Seeing that I understood, Ah Zhu said: "Because I have practiced the first layer of Dou Zhuan Xing Shift, I can do subtle operations on the true qi, so that I can control the expression of the mask as I like, if you want to learn the transfiguration technique, you must also practice the introductory kung fu of Dou Zhuan Xing Shift."
It turns out that the Murong family's disguise technique is so difficult to learn, not only do you have to be able to pinch your face, but you also have to have a fighting star shift as a foundation, I want to learn this skill, I don't know how long it will take
Ah Zhu finished applying makeup to the bronze mirror, put on Murong Fu's clothes again, paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, and said to me: "How is it, little Aqing, do you look like me?"
I admired it from the bottom of my heart: "Like ...... It's really like ...... "Azhu's disguise technique can really be said to be flawless, not only the face and voice are fake, but even the eyes and body movements are imitated vividly, this is not what martial arts and hard training can do, this is talent, god-like acting talent, Azhu wants to be an acting queen in the modern world, of course, this is also because Azhu has served Murong Fu since she was a child, and she is very familiar with Murong Fu, she pretends to be someone else, so it can't be so similar
