Through testing, Lu Changan discovered that by killing the essence and blood soul that devoured the target, the identity obtained through the mask was not only a simulation of the face and breath, but also more realistic and perfect.
There is a potential quality in the Baihuan Mask that affects him. Every move, every frown, and every smile matches the inner temperament of the person who acquires the identity.
It only takes a moment.
He is like being "possessed" by the dead Pei Qiuyan, vividly interpreting a cold and refined female nun in the foundation building period.
His behavioral habits, tone of voice, and various body details are all so fake that they look real.
"As long as you don't tell the truth, even people you know well will have a hard time seeing through the disguise."
Lu Changan came to a conclusion.
This is different from the previous one, which only obtained the target's blood and mana to achieve the camouflage effect. The main difference lies in the real charm.
A few years ago, when he pretended to be Junior Brother Cheng, he could only ensure that his appearance and aura were real. If someone close to him, he might notice something was wrong.
Fortunately, Junior Brother Cheng had been expelled from the school for many years, so Lu Changan was careful not to say anything so as not to expose any obvious flaws.
After a long time, Lu Changan took off the Baihuan Mask and was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to his real identity from an immersive performance.
If you are an ordinary monk, you will have a strong sense of gap.
However, this pales in comparison to the reincarnation of the Nine Seal Monument.
Squeak!
Seeing Lu Changan return to his original appearance, the Earth Rock Rat was overjoyed and relaxed from his tense state.
It stretched out its paws and touched Lu Changan's body intimately, as if it wanted to distinguish the true from the false.
…
Then half a year passed.
The chaotic fighting around Wuqi Mountain has been somewhat contained.
It seems that Lihuo Palace's action has a certain deterrent effect.
Lu Changan used his hard-earned money to gift Song Wenshu the spiritual stone (shared among the three peak masters), but it was not in vain.
Song Wenshu occasionally took the law enforcement monks from Lihuo Palace to patrol near Wuqi Mountain and drank tea at Xiaogui Peak.
In the eyes of outsiders, it shows the good relationship between Wu Qishan and the monks from Lihuo Palace.
However, it is still impossible to prevent Wu Qishan's guests from being intercepted and killed on the way.
It's just not as arrogant as before, and the crime occurred at least dozens of miles away.
This situation is relatively good compared to the surrounding areas of Dadufang City or Fairy City.
Mainly due to environmental factors.
As the sect's war against the Feng Kingdom continued, more demons, ghosts, ghosts, and ne'er-do-wells took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and fish in troubled waters.
Those who cause chaos are only part of the real calamity cultivators.
In many cases, it is a "temporary guest appearance" by ordinary monks, such as the dead Pei brothers and sisters.
If Lu Changan hadn't lived a long life and made a lot of money in this life, and if he encountered a good opportunity, he might have made a guest appearance, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, fishing for law enforcement.
This day.
The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain were discussing matters in Xiaoguifeng Cave.
This discussion was initiated by Lu Changan.
"Recently, there has been an increase in the number of people killing people to seize treasures and intercepting and killing guests around Wuqi Mountain. There is a trend of resurgence and a return to chaos."
Lu Changan said.
What he didn't say was that in the past two months, his powerful soul had faintly sensed that unknown monks had spied on Wuqi Mountain in the distance.
This kind of spying is not necessarily aimed at Wu Qishan, but may be to keep an eye on those guests.
As a long-lived person with crystal condensation pill in hand, he needs a stable cultivation environment.
"I have also felt this situation. The guests who have been intercepted recently are basically monks with weak strength or background, and most of them have troubles at night."
Master Xianzi nodded.
Against the general background, the public security in various places in the Liang Kingdom's immortal world has declined, which is a common phenomenon, especially near small and medium-sized trading communities.
The sect is out fighting and has limited manpower, so it is impossible to handle every small case.
Only a few ordinary monks died, which did not cause a big impact and would not attract the attention of the sect.
Song Wenshu has been very busy recently, and it is not easy for him to take action in a big way on Wu Qishan's small incident, which is not outstanding.
"Lu suspects that there is a group of fixed robbery cultivators near Wuqi Mountain. The guests on our mountain are one of their targets."
Lu Changan first expressed his speculation.
There are no markets in the surrounding two thousand miles, but there are several spiritual vein dojos and small cultivating families. Wuqi Mountain can be regarded as a small gathering place for trade.
"Fellow Daoist Lu invited us over. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ye Fei said with a smile.
Having been neighbors for so many years, he knew Lu Changan's behavior quite well.
"There are two options."
Lu Changan said thoughtfully.
"First, if you don't want to take risks, spend spiritual stones to invite experts to come over and eliminate the tribulation cultivators that have settled nearby."
"Second, if Jie Xiu's strength is average, we will solve it ourselves privately to serve as a warning to others."
Hearing this, the other two peak masters nodded slightly to express their agreement.
The three peak masters of Wuqi Mountain have considerable financial resources and strength, so they can consider both options.
"The premise is to find out the details of Jie Xiu's strength. I am not good at tracking."
Shi Manrong thought.
Lu Changan and Ye Fei looked at each other.
"Leave this matter to the two of us."
Lu Changan has a second-level rat demon with a keen sense of smell and is good at tracking and detecting.
In addition to pharmacological and poisonous techniques, Ye Fei also mastered a mysterious insect repellent technique.
"Master Fairy has a high level of cultivation and has the most methods. If you want to fight, you need to be patient."
…
Over the next few nights, Lu Changan and Ye Fei investigated secretly.
First, they investigated the twenty-mile radius of Wuqi Mountain and found no trace or stronghold of Jie Xiu.
It's noon today.
Xiaogui Peak, in the pavilion beside the lotus pond.
Lu Changan sipped the spiritual tea brought by the maid.
The Xuanshui Turtle was lying on the edge of the pool, staring blankly in a certain direction, with a hint of longing in his eyes.
Lu Changan suddenly thought that Guan Qiaozhi had not written a letter for several years.
"Twenty years."
He made a rough calculation and found that Guan Qiaozhi had been away for more than twenty years.
When this woman left, Lu Changan was one hundred and seven years old.
A few days ago, Lu Changan turned one hundred and twenty-eight years old.
In a few years, Guan Qiaozhi will also reach the age of 100.
Because there was no fighting, proper maintenance, and the use of first-level life-extending pills, he expected Guan Qiaozhi to live at least until close to the upper limit of the Qi refining period.
Whoosh!
A ray of light from the foundation-building stage shuttled from outside Wuqi Mountain and headed straight for Wuqi Mountain, interrupting Lu Changan's thoughts.
"Uncle Lu!"
A woman's voice sounded as soft as an oriole's cry.
A slender and graceful woman in a green skirt flew down in front of the Little Turtle Peak.
Starry eyes and white teeth, as clear and graceful as jade.
The familiar voice evoked two memories of Lu Changan.
The more distant memories have almost faded.
My recent memory is of one of the two maids on Little Turtle Peak, that lonely and persistent girl in a green skirt.
"Bingyun, you're here."
Lu Changan stood up and smiled.
The formation was activated, and Mu Bingyun entered this once extremely familiar place.
More than twenty years have passed, and the layout of the mountain, including every plant and tree, has remained almost unchanged.
The black water turtle has just grown a bit.
The respected Uncle Lu is still dressed in white, ageless, gentle and peaceful.
The tall and handsome figure is like an ancient tree rooted in the earth. As time goes by, it becomes deeper and more stable.
At that moment, perhaps it was her psychological effect that gave rise to an illusion of greatness.
…
"Bingyun, I've met Uncle Lu."
Mu Bingyun stepped forward with a respectful tone and bowed her hands.
As an old friend, Lu Changan did not greet the maid whom she had known day and night, and allowed her to sit down casually in the pavilion.
The moment Mu Bingyun entered the pavilion, she almost assumed the role of the maid back then, preparing to serve Uncle Lu tea and water.
She realized that the ten or twenty years she spent in Xiaoguifeng had an indelible impact on her life.
"Nowadays, the area around Wuqi Mountain is quite chaotic. You shouldn't come here at will."
Lu Changan took a sip of tea and looked at the former maid again.
Mu Bingyun has been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, probably in the past two years.
This went more smoothly than he expected.
"Uncle Lu, in the Liang Kingdom, apart from the sect, is there any real stable place?"
Mu Bingyun sighed softly.
Then, she told the purpose of coming to Wuqi Mountain this time
"A few months ago, the originally chaotic Zhuye Shanfang City was attacked by a group of monks who cooperated with each other. Fighting and looting occurred everywhere in the city. The family's shop suffered heavy losses and several casualties..."
Lu Changan did not expect that the security environment in Zhuye Mountain was much worse than that in Wuqi Mountain.
Around Wuqi Mountain, there were at most a few robbery cultivators, and no big troubles were caused.
"The owner of Zhuye Mountain is the Maple Leaf Huang Family. The Taoist companion of Huang Family's foundation-building female monk 'Huang Yingchun', who was in the late stage of foundation-building, didn't take action?"
Lu Changan's eyes flashed.
"No. That person in the late stage of foundation building is nearing the end of his lifespan and is already old. Huang Yingchun just alienated her relationship two years ago, so the other party will naturally not fight for it..."
Mu Bingyun explained.
"During the Battle of Fangshi, a new Jiji who the Huang family had managed to cultivate in the past few years also died unfortunately."
After hearing this, Lu Changan basically concluded that Zhuye Mountain would become a place of right and wrong.
"Feiyue Lake is a foundation-building family relatively close to Zhuye Mountain, and the safety of the monks in the clan is threatened. I discussed with Uncle Erqing to improve Feiyue Lake's clan-protecting formation."
"Wu Qishan's Shixianzi is a quasi-third-level formation mage and has a good relationship with Uncle Lu. Bingyun would like to ask her to help set up the formation."
Mu Bingyun explained her intention.
"This matter is not a big problem. I will take you to visit her later."
Lu Changan nodded.
His friendship with Master Shixianzi was not ordinary.
"By the way, Bingyun. When you came to Wuqi Mountain, did you feel like you were being watched?"
Lu Changan asked.
"It seems that at a certain moment, I felt this way."
Mu Bingyun was not sure and looked thoughtful.
Based on her understanding of Uncle Lu, there must be a reason for asking such a question.
In today's relatively chaotic situation, it is normal to be spied on occasionally on the road.
However, the monks in the middle stage of foundation building are also second-level talisman masters, and the idle calamity cultivators dare not make any decisions.
Without planning in advance, even in the late stage of foundation building, I dare not say that I can definitely win the Talisman Master in the middle stage of foundation building.
However, Lu Changan discovered that Mu Bingyun had a vague tracking mark placed on her body.
