Chang Ning: "Once you teach the apprentice, you can kill the master."
Mr. Qian didn't want to show weakness, and frowned again: "I don't want to teach any apprentices. If they come to force me, I would rather die than do it. You don't want to scare me. I won't tell you anything you want to ask. !”
Cai Zhaoli was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned to Chang Ning and said, "In that case, chop off his feet and take him back to ask questions slowly."
"Okay." Chang Ning chuckled, turned his palm into a sword, and approached Mr. Qian.
Young Master Qian was so frightened that he shrank back to the stone bed: "Don't mess around, the place is heavily guarded. As long as I shout, none of you can escape!"
Chang Ning turned back to Cai Zhao and said: "I think it's better to kill him. You can't ask anything about this idiot when you take him back - if you shout in the stone house underground, the people on the ground can hear it, and there will be ghosts! Unless he can roar like a lion... Do you think he has practiced this kind of kung fu?"
The corner of Cai Zhao's mouth curled up: "It doesn't look like he has practiced lion's roar, but it looks like he has practiced tortoise boxing." It's a common trick used by street gangsters in fights.
Mr. Qian's face turned green and red. He spent a long time researching the color but couldn't find a dyeing workshop. Finally, he said timidly: "You can ask whatever you want to ask. I will definitely tell you what I know."
Chang Ning actually didn't want to ask anything, so he sat down at the stone table and waited for the girl to ask questions.
"Don't worry, I won't force anyone to do anything difficult." Cai Zhao walked to the stone bed, "First, did they only arrest you, a member of the Thousand Faces Sect?"
Master Qian's face suddenly turned pale: "...I don't know how many people they arrested, but when the Thousand Faces Sect was massacred, only my master escaped. After my master passed away, I was the only one left in the Thousand Faces Sect. "
"The first sentence is a lie - the Thousand Faces Sect was destroyed ninety years ago, how can your master still live to this day?!" Chang Ning interrupted.
Mr. Qian immediately said: "My master was thirteen years old when our family was destroyed. He was ninety-six when he passed away ten years ago. How about that!"
Chang Ning was speechless and turned away.
Cai Zhao nodded: "Second, how many people have you replaced for them so far?"
Mr. Qian thought for a moment, "Not counting the one named Fan yesterday, there are eight and a half in total, half of them failed - but you can't blame me. I haven't seen the real person and there is only one portrait. How can I change it?"
Cai Zhao asked again: "Then do you know who these eight people are?"
Young Master Qian screamed: "Auntie, look at my shackles. I was captured by them. Do they still confide in me? I only know the faces of those eight people, but I don't know their names." ”
Cai Zhao asked if there was one with a round face. Qian Gongzi replied very strictly that there were three round faces. You asked whether it was an oval, a perfect circle or a small circle. Cai Zhao was helpless and asked if there was a square face. Qian Gongzi was very academic. There are three square faces. You are asking whether they are square or oblong.
Cai Zhao smiled angrily: "The people you replaced include some of the most famous people in the world. Don't you know?"
Young Master Qian felt that he had been wronged and shouted: "My master is no worse than a rat crossing the street. Master has been hiding incognito for his whole life. If I hadn't made a mistake a year ago, I would never want to be with anyone in the world in this life." Deal!"
Cai Zhao's palms itched in anger. In order not to break the bridge of the two hundred and fifty noses, she moved irritably away from the stone bed. She didn't turn around until she reached the iron frame: "Okay, let me ask you one last thing now - what do you think about this matter?" You must know!”
She sighed smoothly and then said: "How to break this magic of your body-changing."
Hearing this, Mr. Qian looked both proud and embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Then... the best way is to wait for the statute of limitations to pass. After all, it is a trick to fool people, and you can't fool people for a lifetime. As long as the time is up... Oh Oh, don’t come over, don’t come over…”
Chang Ning stood up and picked up the stone stool as if to smash it. Young Master Qian couldn't help but shrink back in fear.
"Among the eight people you transformed, how long is the longest duration?" Cai Zhao was still hopeful.
Mr. Qian muttered: "...half a year."
Cai Zhao jumped up on the stone bed and grabbed Mr. Qian by the collar - her biological father's ashes might be scattered in half a year!
"There is another way!" Mr. Qian screamed, covering his face.
Cai Zhao stopped.
Mr. Qian gasped for air: "Dead, as long as a person dies, the skill will disappear immediately!"
He swallowed, "Didn't you see that day? As soon as Xiao Gong died, his appearance immediately changed back!"
Cai Zhao turned his head and thought back to the last moment before he hid the Fan Xing family in the secret pavilion yesterday - by the way, there was a loud banging on the door, and on the blood-stained carpet, the corpses of the Fan Xing family were twisting and deforming...
She suddenly turned around and asked: "Does the person have to die? Doesn't the person suffer internal injuries or a knife tip injury and cannot show his original shape?"
"It's useless to suffer any kind of injury. Unless that person is willing to dissipate his kung fu on his own, the only way to reveal his true form is through death - the Dantian will be broken and the Qi will be cut off, and the meridians will be cut off!"
Mr. Qian loosened his collar and said angrily, "Why do you think the good and the evil teamed up to kill our sect back then? If there were flaws in the body-changing method, they wouldn't be so afraid of my sect! Humph, the sea can turn into a mulberry field. , Mountains and rivers can move the sun and the moon, but the method of changing one's body will never change - this is what my master said!"
Cai Zhao frowned and looked at Chang Ning.
Chang Ning said slowly: "If you kill the impostor, you won't be able to find out anything. But if you don't kill him, he will be killed and refuse to admit it. What can you do? This is really a must-have."
He turned around and asked Mr. Qian, "When did you come to Qingque Town."
Mr. Qian was stunned, "Is this originally Qingque Town? Three months ago, they put me in a box and brought me here. They asked me to hide in restaurants on the street corners and other places, and observe a person repeatedly. Just by looking, I looked at that person. It took him two and a half months before he dared to use the art of body-changing. That man was quite majestic, and everyone saluted him."
He sighed, "In addition to the one named Fan yesterday, now I have no power at all. If I don't rest for a month, I won't be able to change anything."
"So before the sacrificial ceremony, you have already ambush in Qingque Town." At this point, Chang Ning's clear eyes suddenly flashed.
He turned to Cai Zhao and smiled, "Didn't you wonder yesterday why they dared to bring this man to the mountains and cliffs? Now it's clear - Song Shijun will come to see his son in a few months."
Cai Zhao was shocked: "...A few months later, Uncle Zhou will also come!"
Chang Ning lowered his head and caressed his sleeves: "Si Qi Sect is just a loser. Taichu Temple is now half destroyed. Your father and Sect Master Qi have been captured. Now we can change Sect Master Song and Sect Master Zhou. Hum, great things can be done. ”
He stood up slowly with a gentle smile, "In order to prevent the Six Beichen Sects from being taken over by others, let's kill him first. As long as this person is killed, no one in the world will know how to change his body."
Young Master Qian clung to the wall in fear, his voice trembling, "No, no, don't kill me. I've never done anything bad. I've been hiding well and I don't want to get involved in the world at all..."
Cai Zhao stood with his back facing the tall iron frame on the stone wall.
After a moment, she turned around, held Chang Ning's sleeve, and whispered: "Let's go, we've been in here for too long, people outside will notice something is wrong."
Chang Ning couldn't believe it and said in a deep voice: "Don't be merciful at this time. If you don't kill this person, there will be endless troubles!"
Cai Zhao couldn't drag the tall young man, so he had to turn around. She smiled hard, and there seemed to be water in her eyes: "Have you heard of the two things that my aunt was most proud of in her life?"
Chang Ning snorted angrily.
Cai Zhao lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Before she died, my aunt said that what she was most proud of in her life was not killing Nie Hengcheng, but that no matter how forced she was, she never killed an innocent person; no matter how difficult it was, she never killed an innocent person. We never stood by while innocent people were in danger."
When she said this to Zeng Loulou, she thought it was normal at the time, but now she realized how difficult it was to do these two things.
Chang Ning's chest was full of anger, and his eyes were cold: "You don't know whether your father is alive or dead now, can't you just obey the authority in a hurry?!"
The easy-going girl stubbornly shook her head, "No, you must never cross that line. Once there is the first time, there will be many, many times."
She raised her head and smiled, "The first time I saw you, I didn't know who you were. It was only after thinking of these two words from my aunt that I had to save you."
Thinking of the girl who was as cheerful and leisurely as spring water and green branches that day, Chang Ning suddenly felt soft in her heart.
He said softly: "It's okay. He can always think of other ways. He has no power now, so it doesn't matter if he stays for a while."
Just as the two of them stepped onto the second corner stone stairs, a voice suddenly came from behind - "Actually, there is a person who has cracked the sect's body-changing method."
Both Chang and Cai turned their heads, surprised.
"That's Ancestor Beichen." Mr. Qian stood beside the stone bed with his head bowed.
"Two hundred years ago, our ancestor used the body-changing method to help Ancestor Beichen to eliminate demons. On the day when the demons were eliminated, the ancestor who was seriously injured and dying called our ancestor over and asked him to transform himself into someone else at will. . Although the ancestors were puzzled, they still did it."
"Then, the ancestor asked his slave to bring him the Snow Scale Dragon Beast that he had raised for many years. He took out a little saliva from the beast's mouth and asked the ancestor of the sect to take it - the Snow Scale Dragon saliva is a rare tonic that is of great benefit to practitioners. Our ancestors took it immediately."
"After a while, his whole body became cold, as if he was dead, and his true shape soon appeared."
"The ancestor warned the ancestors of our sect in front of everyone on the bedside that all things in the world, yin and yang, heaven and earth, are all in conflict with each other. Therefore, there will be no incomprehensible miraculous arts in the world, and there will be no sect that will last forever, so everyone can do their own thing. .”
"Then the ancestor passed away, and not long after, our ancestor also went into seclusion - I don't know if it's true or not, it was Master who told me." After Master Qian said this, he twisted his hands together tightly.
"Snow-scaled dragon beast?" Cai Zhao was surprised, "I have read about it in books. It is said that the ancestor raised many rare immortal beasts in the past, such as gauze-feathered ice-winged cranes, red-headed eight-legged snakes, and night-capable snakes. The unicorn horse that ran thousands of miles... But the book said that after the ancestor passed away, the fairy spirit of Jiuli Mountain disappeared, and those rare and strange beasts disappeared one after another."
"I don't know anything else, but the Snow Scale Dragon Beast should be real." Chang Ning frowned and said, "One hundred and sixty years ago, the Snow Scale Dragon Beast once caused chaos in the world and hurt countless people. In the end, the martial arts people joined forces to drive it away. .”
Cai Zhao perked up and said, "Where are you going!"
"Here we go all the way north, to the snow-capped mountains in the extremely cold region."
…
After leaving the dungeon, the two quietly returned the same way they came.
The mountains and fields are getting colder and colder, and the man in black is still patrolling slowly like a ghost.
It wasn't until they left the mountains that the two of them took a breath.
Chang Ning supported the slightly panting girl and said: "I told you to be a good person. Although Jiuli Mountain is in the north, even if a fast horse gallops all the way, it will take more than half a month to reach the Snow Mountain, not to mention the snow scales. Is the dragon beast still alive?”
"Don't count on the Snow Scale Dragon Beast for now." Cai Zhao took a deep breath and straightened up, "I want to catch that faker. Didn't he bring many masters with him? Capture ten or twenty of them. Torture each one one by one. I can’t ask anything.”
Chang Ning laughed: "Oh, Zhao Zhao is so loud. If you want to arrest ten or twenty people, the entire sect will help you. How can you make them believe it?"
"Tell me the truth directly." Cai Zhao said solemnly, "Fake things can't be true. No matter how much he learns like Master, there will always be flaws. As long as a few masters believe in me, I can catch them all."
Chang Ning frowned slightly: "I'm afraid not necessarily. Sometimes, it's not the most important thing whether what you say is right or not. What matters is whether the person speaking can make everyone listen to him."
The two of them were talking and walking towards Qingjingzhai. At this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed in front of them. They were armed with swords, lanterns and blazing torches, and they instantly surrounded the two of them.
The current person is Dai Fengchi.
He smiled sinisterly: "You two are in such a good mood. It's so late at night that you can't stay indoors and run around in the mountains and fields. It's okay if you haven't slept. Come with me - Master has invited you."
Chapter 41
The mountain wind gets stronger and stronger, and the night frost becomes colder.
There were two groups of people who came to 'invite' Chang Ning and Cai Zhao.
A group of sect disciples were led by Ouyang Kexie and Chen Qiong. Cai Zhao had seen several of their faces on the martial arts field. Their expressions were solemn, mixed with a hint of hesitation.
The other group were fresh-faced people who had just climbed up the mountain. It was said that they were the "under-the-table forces" cultivated by 'Sect Master Qi' outside the sect. They were all dressed in dark gray and wearing full weapons, with gloomy expressions and silent movements. The leader was a tall, thin man in his thirties, with a very familiar aquiline nose on his face.
Cai Zhao was slightly startled, but couldn't help but whisper: "This man looks like the one from yesterday, but he is a little shorter..."
Chang Ning naturally noticed it and moved his lips slightly: "Maybe they are brothers."
The short aquiline nose suddenly turned back, piercing Chang Ning's malicious eyes.
Cai Zhao said silently: "...It seems they are brothers."
Chang Ning didn't care: "I will reunite the two brothers later."
Dai Fengchi walked among these two groups of people, feeling extremely satisfied. It was probably because Chang and Cai's obedient submission made him feel less accomplished, so he turned back and glared at them from time to time.
He heard the voices behind him and turned around: "You two are not allowed to whisper!"
Cai Zhao blinked: "Then let's talk loudly."
Dai Fengchi:......
