012 The Secret of the Mask
After nightfall, Chen Mu returned to the room, lit the dim kerosene lamp, sat in front of the table, and wrote the draft of the third chapter. He successfully lit up the third star on the pen.
Chapter 3: What he can take out from the book is the representative item in the book, the Dragon Slaying Sword.
To be honest, he really wanted to see this magic weapon. After all, he heard it since he was a child, and to him, it was something in the legend. However, he only had two chances to summon now, so it would be better to keep it when needed.
Chen Mu put away the manuscript and took out the transparent mask he got in the treasure cave of Zhao Mansion in the afternoon.
Even Zhao Heng, the son of the Zhao family, didn't know that there was such a place. It was a secret that only his father knew. No one knew what was originally placed inside.
This mask was hidden so secretly that it was worn on the face of the stone statue. If he hadn't had his observation skills become sharp and closer, he would not have discovered it.
Moreover, it can also cause changes in the pen, which means that it is likely to have special abilities like a pen.
In the afternoon, Chen Mu had already realized the mystery of practice from the pen. The name of his genre is called novelist. The first realm is called Liguan. This is a kind of small official in ancient times and the beginning of novelists.
The practice of this genre is to write novels. The requirements for getting started are very high. First, a medium is needed to open the door to spirituality. Second, a novel is needed, and more than 10,000 readers need to resonate with their hearts.
Chen Mu easily crossed this threshold, and his medium was the pen in his hand. As for the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there were more than tens of millions of people who read it, and it easily met the requirements.
The first realm of a novelist is that he can possess two abilities: one is that his observation becomes sharp, and the other is that he empathizes.
These two abilities are of course very useful in writing novels, but they cannot be used to fight, and their combat effectiveness is still very weak.
If you want to break through to the second realm, you need to finish writing the entire novel. This book has a total of forty chapters, which means forty days.
Chen Mu felt a little worried when he thought of Sherlock's warning. The Zhao family is rich and powerful, and if Zhao Heng really regards him as his rival, he might send someone to tie him and his grandmother up in the middle of the night...
This is a real threat, but he doesn't have much ability to protect himself now.
Chen Mu carefully studied the mask on his hand. It was extremely pure, completely transparent, with a thickness of only one millimeter, and was extremely soft. It was like transparent silicone.
It is really hard to imagine that in this era, such materials can be made.
He looked over and over for a while but couldn't trigger any special function. He thought to himself, "Does it really have to be worn to trigger it?"
Just like that pen, he couldn't figure out anything before. It was not until he bought manuscript paper and started writing novels that it stimulated its function.
As for a mask, it is naturally used to wear it on your face.
Chen Mu hesitated for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and put the mask on his face. As soon as he touched the skin, the mask seemed to come alive and pressed tightly against his face.
With a roar, a strange force exploded in his mind. The space in front of him became distorted, and everything around him became bizarre.
not good!
Chen Mu was shocked. Before he could react, his consciousness seemed to have left his body and flew upwards with a whoosh.
In a blink of an eye, he finally landed on the ground, and felt a flash in front of him. There was a huge palace in front of him, and the dome above his head was a vast starry sky, with countless stars listed.
"Someone is here again, it's so lively now." A sound like a bell rang out.
Chen Mu was shocked. There were other people in the palace? Looking in the direction where the sound came, he saw a monk standing opposite him with big ears, exactly the same as the Maitreya Buddha he had seen in the temple before.
Does anyone really look like this?
Another voice sounded, "This new man has a vicious face and a stunning evil spirit. He is obviously not a good person. I advise the monk to stay away from him."
Chen Mu looked at the man and saw an old man wearing sunglasses, a black felt hat on his head, and a black robe. He thought this man was really nonsense, why did he look vicious?
In addition to these two people, there was also a woman present, wearing a phoenix crown on her head and a handful of jade Ruyi on her hands, looking dignified and elegant.
The monk like Maitreya Buddha asked with a smile, "Brother, is this image a warrior?"
"Wrong, a big mistake." The old man wearing sunglasses said bluntly, "The warriors are from military strategists, and there is also a sense of righteousness among the evil spirits. This time, they are clearly the thief of the Yangtze River."
Chen Mu heard something wrong. When he looked down, he realized that his image had completely changed. His figure had become extremely burly, and his clothes were tightly supported. There were several scars on his exposed muscles and forearms.
Damn it.
He was caught off guard and almost sweared, "Why did I become such a ghost?"
He groped on his body and soon made a new discovery. He was carrying a big knife behind him, his face was covered with horizontal flesh, and there were also several scars on it.
No wonder the old man in sunglasses said that he was a thief. He looked like he was a thief.
At this time, the only woman in the field spoke, "Brother, do you know where this place is?"
Chen Mu quickly calmed down, shook his head, and said, "I don't know either, I'm here in a daze. What is this place?"
The woman sighed, "We came here for no reason, just like you. I arrived two hours ago, and there was only one monk at that time. This old man was the third, and you were the fourth."
The monk said, "I'm only half an hour earlier than you."
Chen Mu also realized that these three people were not accomplices. They all had different accents. Although they were all speaking Mandarin, the monk and the old man in sunglasses both had special accents. As for where they were from, he couldn't hear it, and he only knew that it was not Jinhai.
Only this woman spoke standard Mandarin.
From this point of view, the four of them are likely to come from different places and are brought here by mysterious power, or by a powerful existence.
Chen Mu asked, "How do you want to leave here?"
The woman said, "It's very simple. Just leave with a few silent words in your heart and you can go out."
Chen Mu immediately tried and silently said in his heart, "Leave, leave, leave."
Suddenly, a bizarre scene appeared in front of him again. He felt his body falling down. After a strong sense of weightlessness, he opened his eyes again and returned to his room.
He felt relieved and could leave at any time, so there was no problem.
At this moment, he felt that he had a connection with something, and as long as he had a thought, he could enter the palace just now.
Chen Mu did not rush back to the palace and looked at his hands. His arms became significantly stronger and thicker, and his body became much stronger. His developed chest muscles supported his originally loose clothes. He could feel that there was unprecedented power in his body.
It just seems that it is not as exaggerated as it was in the main hall.
"Steal."
Almost at the same time, he also knew the name of this mask, which was called "Thief". If you wear it, you can have the ability of this genre.
Now, the mask has opened the first level, which is the first realm, called "The Thieves". The ability is one that is strong, as the name suggests, it means that the body becomes stronger, and the other that is intimidation, which can scare people out of fear and make the other party pay the money obediently.
Chen Mu couldn't help but take a breath. It's okay to get super powers by writing novels, but it's okay to be a robber?
