The morning sun rises and the green grass emerges.
Yuan Zhiqing squatted on the edge of the fence, concentrating on it, pointing her finger into a sword, condensing her energy into strength, and carved formation patterns on the white jade platform.
a long time.
After a formation was carved, she turned around and saw a long rainbow flying towards her.
"morning!"
Zhong Yan landed and greeted with a smile.
Stand in the east and look down.
The bright yellow morning glow behind him draped his body like a golden battle suit, making him look heroic.
Yuan Zhiqing's gentle and charming smile made Yuan Zhiqing dazzle slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved: "Good morning!"
Zhong Yan glanced at the pieces of white jade on the ground, and then looked at her face. There was a look of exhaustion between her brows.
"Have you been awake all night?"
"I want to set up the formation as soon as possible. Don't we need more female cultivators in the mansion? We also need the spirit gathering formation."
Zhong Yan knelt down and picked up a piece of white jade to inspect. It was full of brilliance, clear lines, and a gathering of souls. Naturally, he, a first-order formation mage, could not compare with it.
"Carving formation patterns takes a lot of energy, so you still have to pay attention to rest. Besides, I am also an formation master, so I don't have to be so tired."
Yuan Zhiqing looked up, said "Hmm" softly, and started to pack up the leftover materials.
Zhong Yan noticed the subtle smile on her lips, "Why, you don't like the formation I drew?"
Yuan Zhiqing was silent for a moment, and then said: "No, I saw the formations in the training room. You have made rapid progress, but the formations are invisible, the concentration is not enough, and the effect is lacking. You can practice with inferior materials first, so as not to Waste of supplies.”
Zhong Yan: "..."
I just don't like it.
How long have I been starting to practice formation?
Yuan Zhiqing changed the subject and asked, "Come here, what's wrong?"
"Can't I come and see you if I have nothing to do?"
Yuan Zhi lowered her head and looked away, thinking: What's so good about this appearance.
Zhong Yan asked: "Do you know the contract between life and death?"
Yuan Zhiqing raised her head and stared at him and asked, "You still don't believe me?"
Beiqi bit her red lips, and then said: "I can sign with you!"
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "You misunderstood. He is a guest in the mansion."
Yuan Zhiqing was silent for a moment and said: "The contract of life and death is not a trivial matter. If you lose it, you will lose it. It is related to your soul. You have to think carefully. If you want to sign it with me, I will allow you. But I don't know how to do it. You have to ask Senior Sister."
"Okay, please ask, go back to the house and meditate and rest."
Zhong Yan stood up, threw his sword and took off, leaving a voice: "Zhiqing, if you can take the initiative to share those resources with me, I will completely trust you!"
What's more, she also revealed secrets that outsiders didn't know.
Yuan Zhiqing was inexplicably panicked. She stood up and took two steps after him, shouting: "Zhong Yan!"
Zhong Yan paused and flew back to the ground: "What's wrong?"
Yuan Zhiqing moved her lips and said, "I...this is not my original appearance."
Zhong Yan was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Did he kiss a face before closing his mouth?
He looked carefully, but couldn't see any clues at all.
Mortals who disguise themselves with a mask can easily be discerned by monks, and monks usually use Yuan Qi to maintain their mask. It doesn't look inconsistent and is more real, but their spiritual sense can also detect it.
Yuan Zhiqing said: "I don't want you to misunderstand me in the future and think that I deliberately concealed it and had other agendas."
Zhong Yan joked: "Is it too ugly? It's okay, I don't mind."
It's not too ugly when you think about it.
Nowadays, this ordinary appearance ranks at the bottom of the entire Zhong Mansion, including the maids. It can be said that it has no characteristics. It can only be regarded as harmonious in the facial features and not ugly.
Yuan Zhiqing shook her head and said seriously: "No one knows what I really look like now. Back then, my master gave me the soul of the 'morphling beast' to fuse with me. The soul of the beast was much stronger than mine, but it was not completely stable. I feel that maybe when I By the middle stage of foundation building, the appearance can be stabilized.
I was thirteen years old at that time. After more than ten years, my appearance must have changed a lot, so I don’t know what I look like anymore. "
Zhong Yan's heart moved. He had seen a description of the Changeling Beast in a book. It was a relatively rare fifth-level spiritual beast. It had foundation-building strength at an early age and had very high intelligence.
It looks like an ape, has a human face, and is gentle in nature. Its biggest feature is that it can change into various body shapes and faces, and likes to blend in with the crowd.
"What about your appearance?"
Yuan Zhiqing hesitated for a moment, stretched her hand to the back of her head, and pulled out a silver needle that was about an inch long.
Suddenly, her face began to distort, her facial features were all deformed, and she was squirming. It looked really scary.
Yuan Zhiqing raised her hand and made a seal, and her face finally stabilized and turned into another appearance, with clear features and beautiful eyes.
"This is the look I used when I was in Qifeng."
Then, she kneaded again, and her appearance changed again, becoming another face.
"This is the appearance of a registered disciple from Qifeng who assists me in growing medicine. I use this appearance when walking around the sect, so outsiders don't know my details."
Then, she returned to her ordinary face and inserted the silver needle back into the Fengchi point on the back of her head.
"This is what I use when I'm out and about."
"The three faces were all transformed by the transformation technique of the changeling beast. Previously, I could change up to seven different looks."
"As for my original appearance, it is the distorted one you just saw. It cannot be fixed for the time being."
Zhong Yan was surprised. He remembered something and asked, "Did you know that Lin Zhengping from Yangquanfang City was once the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall? His soul was seriously injured and could be cured by fusing the animal soul?"
Yuan Zhiqing said: "I once heard Master mention that his situation is different from mine. His soul is seriously injured and he cannot use this method. It seems that he has to find the 'Xingyun Mist Lotus' to recover, while I was born with a damaged soul, which caused me to Frail and mentally retarded.”
Zhong Yan nodded and asked again: "When you completely stabilize your soul, will you be able to change it at will?"
Yuan Zhiqing shook her head and said: "Master said no, then I will only have my appearance. The shapeshifting beast is still young and has not yet developed its magical powers. At the moment, it is just the inheritance talent deep in the soul. When my soul is stable, this talent will disappear. , unless you learn the true transformation method of the changeling beast."
Zhong Yan thought thoughtfully, "This should be the reason why your realm progress is a little slow, right?"
Yuan Zhiqing nodded.
Zhong Yan asked again: "Does anyone else in Qifeng know?"
Yuan Zhiqing said: "The senior sisters thought I used the disguise technique. They knew that I had lost my soul, but they didn't know that Master fused the beast soul for me."
After a pause, she looked at each other and said: "The buzzing bird is a common spiritual bird. Although it is the second level, it is the nemesis of the changeling beast. Using the sound waves of this spiritual bird against me will cause my soul to be turbulent and even collapse. I will definitely die." , so Master asked me not to tell anyone, and also asked me to stay on the peak and try not to go out. In addition, although I have a foundation-building level and a strong soul, I cannot release my consciousness, combat power, and refine my Qi for a long time. You can kill me on the ninth floor.”
Zhong Yan's heart moved slightly, but you told me your fatal weakness and said speechlessly: "Then you are still consuming your spiritual consciousness to carve formation patterns like this!"
The corner of Yuan Zhiqing's mouth curled up, and she made a rare joke: "Master takes you as my best friend and teaches you the 'Great Void Technique', so it won't harm me. If you want to harm me, you have to hurry up and wait until I step in." In the middle stage of foundation building, my body will no longer have any problems, and the buzzing bird will have no effect on me by then."
Zhong Yan exhaled slightly and said secretly: You are planning to abandon Qifeng completely and tie yourself to me.
He asked with a smile: "Su Yue asked you to spy on me, does this count as betraying Qifeng?"
Yuan Zhiqing said: "It's not surveillance. At least for now, there may be some use and small calculations, but Senior Sister has never harmed you."
Zhong Yan said: "It always makes people feel uncomfortable and fearful."
Yuan Zhiqing was silent, unable to refute, she was silent for a moment, and said sincerely: "Zhong Yan, you took away my innocence, and now that we are married, I regard you as my husband in my heart. I will be loyal to you in this life and will not betray you. This is a big deal." Senior sister made it happen, she can't blame me."
Zhong Yan sighed in his heart, thanks to this world, most women are almost all matchmakers. Most of them don't know each other before getting married. After getting married, they have a beginning and an end, and they stay together.
In the past life, innocence meant nothing.
"Of course, if you don't like my appearance again in the future, you can make peace with me. There are many beautiful wives and concubines in the house, and I think you won't like me either."
Zhong Yan has a strange expression on his face, why does he sound a little jealous?
"Do you think I'm such a superficial person? My appearance is just a skin. You and I have only been together for a short time. Let's wait and see. Since you have given me your sincerity, I will return your sincerity!"
I hope... Yuan Zhiqing took a deep look at him and said: "Master trusts the Fourth Senior Sister and the Fifth Senior Sister the most. I entrust them with personal matters and many important matters. Before the trip, Master once said to me, when something happens, But I completely trust Senior Sister Nan Jin, now I have no secrets from you."
"I'm tired."
After saying that, Yuan Zhiqing turned around, rolled up many formation materials on the ground into a storage bag, and walked towards the wooden house.
Zhong Yan stared at her back for a while, then left with his sword.
Inside the wooden house.
Yuan Zhiqing carefully prepared the draft, sent a message to Su Yue, and roughly described the situation after entering the Zhong Mansion, and finally mentioned the 'life and death contract'.
Su Yue: "He wants to make this contract with you?"
Yuan Zhiqing pursed her lips and said with a little hesitation: "Yes."
The person on the other side was silent for a while and then said: "Let's take a note. This will be a perfect explanation to Master. I will go to the Treasure Pavilion to find it later and pass it on to you."
A hint of bitterness appeared in the corner of Yuan Zhiqing's mouth: "Yes, Senior Sister."
The senior sister who was like a teacher and a mother, although strict, loved her as much as her master, but now she felt strange.
There is a big gap in qualifications and cultivation between Zhong Yan and her. It is simply an unequal contract.
After the life and death contract was signed, if something happened to Zhong Yan, her soul would also be affected, and her soul was already incomplete, but the senior sister didn't even care, and even used her master as an excuse.
At this moment, the remaining guilt Yuan Zhiqing felt towards Qifeng and Su Yue was gone.
After ending the transmission, she murmured in her heart.
"Sister, Master is right, you have been suppressed for too long..."
"Now that Master is no longer there to restrain you, you have become careless."
"It's a pity that Qing'er can't persuade you, no one can persuade you..."
"Sister, take care!"
"Qing'er will go her own way in the future."
"Zhong Yan, if you treat me well, it will be my luck. If you betray me, it will be your fate."
