The obscure light in the middle-aged man's eyes rotated, and crazy thoughts appeared and died one after another, and then died again.
But just when he grasped his fist and made up his mind.
Suddenly a strong wind blew around me.
There was a continuous muffled sound.
When the middle-aged man heard the sound and raised his head and saw the scene inside the house, he was immediately horrified, and inexplicable panic filled his body and mind.
The young man was spinning a sharp knife in his hand, and lying at his feet were several children under the age of ten.
"It's almost curfew time. If you don't say it sooner, you won't have a chance to say it."
The middle-aged man looked at his wife, who was also unconscious next to him, as if all his strength had been drained away.
"well."
...
Chen Qingyan walked quickly on the street, and could only vaguely see some pedestrians hurriedly going home.
Curfew is coming soon.
Everyone rushed home to rest.
In this world where demons are rampant, those who wander around at night in Jugu City will be locked up if they are caught. If they meet a good-tempered monk, they will be flogged and released after the test. If they meet a monk with a bad temper, they will be released.
, it is normal to be beheaded in the street. If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you will inevitably be locked up for a period of time and suffer some torture.
Finally, just before the curfew arrived.
He came to a wooden house.
As I approached the door, I heard a sound of instructions coming from inside the house.
"...That's right, listen to your mother. But since your mother said it, dad will say it again. Qi'er should remember that when he went to the valley after the festival, he should keep a low profile and not compete with others.
, don’t do dangerous things, we don’t ask you to become a monk, we don’t ask for wealth, as long as you live well and come back to see us often, dad will be satisfied.”
"Yes, in a few years when you grow up, mother will arrange a marriage for you. Now you are an outsider, and there are many girls who want to marry you. Mother will help you collect the money Gu Zhong gave you, and save some more, which will be enough for you in the future.
I bought a moisture-proof and waterproof stone house on Fulin Street..."
"Mom, don't save the money for me. You can use it to spend it. Otherwise, you can buy a house on Fulin Street and live there first. I will feel more at ease. I heard from Brother Hong that you can get money for working outside. Wait.
After I save the money, I will give it to you. Also, mother, I am still young, so I will talk about getting a wife later."
"My child, you are already twelve years old, and your marriage will be put on the agenda soon."
"Mom, who got married at the age of twelve? Don't talk about it. Safety is the most important thing now. Sell this house and move to Fulin Street."
"let me think again."
"Qi'er is right. Some time ago, an evil spirit sneaked into the street next to us and harmed two families. There is little rain on Fulin Street and it is close to Lin Valley, so the evil spirits do not dare to approach."
"Dad is still wise, hee hee."
Chen Qingyan listened quietly and left silently.
He hung the Qinggang Order on his waist and walked towards Lin Valley.
On the way, I met the first night patrol team. After seeing his waistband, they came forward to inquire and check it. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, they urged him to return to the valley quickly.
A curfew prohibits residents of the city from going out at night.
For the outer disciples, they are not so strict.
Return to Lin Valley.
Chen Qingyan once again came to the stone house where he lived before.
The day after tomorrow, I have to go to work in the medicine field, and I will probably live there for a long time. Before I am assigned a house, I have no choice but to come back and live there.
inside the house.
Chen Qingyan wiped his body with a sweat towel, fetched hot water to soak his feet, and suddenly took out a golden hollow mask from his arms.
This gorgeous mask was taken from his home before he left. According to his father, the mask was a relic from one of his father's sworn brothers.
And this brother was also involved in the "civet cat for prince" incident.
In addition to the mask, there is also a bottle of pills called "Yirong Pills" among the relics, with only one pill left in the bottle.
Now both the disguise pills and the mask are in Chen Qingyan's hands.
What's interesting is that when Chen Qingyan touches the mask, its name and function are directly displayed in the practice room.
[Mysterious Veil]: A spiritual tool used to communicate with the monks of the Thousand Faces Order. It has the magical effect of isolating the monks from prying eyes.
【Absorbable】
[can be converted]
The method of use is also very simple, just wear it on your face.
Chen Qingyan thought for a moment, and since the practice room didn't warn of any danger, it was probably safe.
Then he gently put the golden hollow mask on his face.
Touch...
The ice is cool and feels very light, like a feather.
After waiting for a while, nothing happened. Just when I was about to take it off, the energy swirling in my abdomen suddenly started to roll and leaked into the mask.
Chen Qingyan was startled, but held it in check.
After the vitality circulated in the mask, it returned to the lower abdomen and became quiet again.
Chen Qingyan felt golden light patterns flowing in front of his eyes, and the next moment he fell into a trance.
Bang——
The sound of the bell is melodious, and the remaining sound is misty.
Chen Qingyan woke up from his trance, and his heart sank.
He found that he had left the stone house and appeared in a chaotic land shrouded in mist.
A sapphire table.
Each of the six silhouetted fog men sat on a luxurious chair with an absurdly high backrest.
The thoughts in his mind turned quickly, he lowered his head and realized that he was also in the form of a fog man.
Also sitting on a luxurious chair.
"Huh? There's a new person coming so soon."
"The last one in line is a little guy who has just started to practice."
“Anyway, it’s a good thing if someone joins.”…
The six fog men said something to each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Chen Qingyan listened quietly for a while and finally raised his question,
"Where is this?"
Immediately a fog man answered:
"Thousand Faces Association General Forum."
Chen Qingyan asked again: "What exactly does the Thousand Faces Society do? What is the significance of my joining?"
"Hey, you're pretty calm."
"Ahem, let me tell you. What the Thousand Faces Club used to do? We don't know. Everyone who comes here, like you, got a golden mask by accident, so our arrival has no meaning.
, now I join Qianmianhui mainly to come in and chat when I have nothing to do. Of course, I also exchange news occasionally."
Just as he finished speaking, another fog man rushed to ask:
"You have just started practicing. You should be young, right. In which city are you practicing? What is your status?"
"Hey, I'm not even a monk, what kind of identity and status can I have? I'm just an outer disciple of a certain sect. Or maybe I'm a descendant of an evil cultivator wandering around in the wilderness. Boy, where are you from? Are you an evil cultivator?"
Chen Qingyan listened to several people's questions and responded calmly, neither revealing his true identity nor asking for too much useful information. However, after a conversation, he generally had a certain understanding of the Thousand Faces Society.
The Thousand Faces Society uses this miraculous treasure to contact its members, and its origin must be extraordinary. It is definitely not really for people to come in and chat. It probably has some hidden function, but it is currently unknown.
After listening for a while, the fog suddenly dispersed and disappeared.
Seeing this, Chen Qingyan had a thought of leaving in his heart, and with a pop, it also turned into a mass of disintegrating mist and disappeared.
Return to the stone house.
Chen Qingyan took off his mask and called up his personal panel:
Name: Chen Qingyan
Realm: None
Kung Fu: Tibetan Rhythm Eight-curved Knife (becoming a saint), Gu Yuan Kung Fu (third level), Star Body Forging Technique (not yet started)
