The maid was knocked unconscious by Tang Bailing. She carried her to the alley next to her. She took out a small bag of gypsum powder, a kettle and other utensils from her arms. After mixing the gypsum powder and water evenly, she gently spread it on the The little maid's face. Read the book
In less than half an hour, a fairly lifelike human skin mask was made.
She exchanged clothes with the maid, picked up the vegetable basket, went to the market to buy some vegetables, and then walked to Li's house.
Tang Bailing felt a little uneasy. Due to time constraints, she only learned the body shape but not the voice. She could only ponder it in her mind based on the two sentences the maid said.
When she arrived in front of Li's house, she opened the door and walked in. An old woman walked towards her with an angry look on her face.
"Buy a vegetable! Why did it take so long?"
Tang Bailing quickly replied: "Something happened on the way, so I was delayed."
The old lady snatched the vegetable basket from her hand and said, "Hurry to the mistress's room! Do your work!"
"yes!"
Tang Bailing hurriedly walked to the backyard.
During the day, she and Tan Wushuang observed Li's house from a high place and touched the basic structure of the house. They could roughly guess where the owner of the house lived.
Relying on memory and groping, she walked to the door of the master room. Many people greeted her along the way, and she learned that the maid's name seemed to be Qiu'er.
He took a deep breath at the door of the room and pushed the door open. As soon as I entered the house, a lazy female voice came: "Is it Qiu'er?"
Tang Bailing replied: "Madam, it's me."
"come in."
In the room, a wealthy woman sat at the table, with a tea set placed on the table. Tang Bailing walked to the table and poured a glass of water for the woman. She didn't know what Qiu'er wanted to do when she came to this room, but as a servant, she should do some servant work.
Tang Bailing took the opportunity to observe the woman. In addition to being rich and handsome, she was also shorter than the average woman, and her eyebrows were slightly different from those of the Central Plains women. Tang Bailing has learned the Tang Sect's acting skills and has a deeper understanding of human faces than the average person. She can see the differences between races at a glance.
After pouring the water, Tang Bailing was still pounding in his heart, thinking about what to do next. Who knew that the woman suddenly said, "Let's get started. My shoulder has been hurting more in the past few days."
Tang Bailing breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how smart a person is, good luck is not as good as luck.
"Slave, I'll give you a squeeze now." She walked behind the woman and gently squeezed her shoulders, thinking about whether to restrain her now.
Just as she had this idea, the woman said, "Qiu'er, please stop for a moment and go to the cabinet to take out the pastries I put away."
With a quick glance, he found the location of the cabinet and replied, "Qiu'er understands."
After saying that, he walked towards the cabinet. As soon as he reached the cabinet, before he could reach out his hand, he felt a strong wind behind him. She hurriedly turned around to dodge, only to see a dagger swipe across her face. She couldn't dodge in time, and the human skin mask on the outside was cut open.
She didn't have time to think too much, she flicked her wrist, and a small brown bottle appeared in her palm.
"Don't move!" The two men shouted at the same time.
The woman smiled sinisterly: "You should have restrained me when you pressed my shoulders just now, but now you have no chance."
Tang Bailing sneered: "I haven't been doing this business for a long time, so I'm unfamiliar. But I advise you not to move or shout. The poisonous gas in my bottle is very strong. As soon as I let go, both of us will be finished."
The woman asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"You'd better answer my question first, who are you?"
The two of them were in a stalemate, and Tang Bailing actually had the upper hand now. She has no advantage in facing the enemy head-on. As for the small bottle in her hand, the medicine inside is for calming the nerves and refreshing the mind.
As they were facing each other, the outermost mask on Tang Bailing's face began to fall off. It was originally a hastily made mask with many flaws. Even if you look closely, you can see that the mask is unnatural.
As the mask on half of his face came off, Mu Zi's intact half of his face was revealed. When the woman in front of him saw this half of his face, he was stunned.
Qing began to become frightened, and she opened her mouth wide, as if she was about to shout.
Tang Bailing understood at this moment: This woman knows Mu Zi!
Tang Bailing asked in a low voice: "Who am I?"
"You, you, you..." The woman who was so domineering just now suddenly wilts and can no longer hold the dagger in her hand.
"Say, who am I?
"Jin, Jinlan... you, you, you are still alive?!"
Tang Bailing was even more confused: Jin Lan? Not Mu Zi?
The woman suddenly lost the knife, knelt on the ground and started crying. While crying, she said to herself: "You must be dead, this is your soul...Jin Lan, you are not a ***, really." It’s not ***! It’s Dongsha! It’s Dongsha!”
Along with the woman's cry, Tang Bailing heard rustling sounds coming from under the table, bed, and cabinet. She looked down and saw that the ground was densely covered with poisonous insects! At that moment, Tang Bailing felt his scalp numb: She was a Gu Master!
Suppressing the nausea in his heart, Tang Bailing said, "If you want to survive, put away your bugs."
Those insects did not attack Tang Bailing, but surrounded the woman, seeming to protect her.
The woman cried for a long time, then she realized what she was doing, frowned and stared at Tang Bailing, and shook her head in confusion: "No, you are not Jinlan."
"Is the Jinlan you are talking about a Miao like you?"
"who are you?"
Tang Bailing put away the bottle and decided to change her approach.
"Don't be nervous," Tang Bailing's tone softened, "I'm not here to kill you. I'm indeed not a Jin Lan."
"But, you look a lot like Jinlan."
Tang Bailing tore off the other half of the face, revealing the burned half of Mu Zi's face.
Seeing that face, the woman's body trembled, then her body went limp, and she said as if resigned to her fate: "I know, there is no way to escape. You will definitely find me. From that day on, your wronged ghost will appear in my dreams every night." inside."
Tang Bailing sat down on the chair and asked, "Have you ever killed a woman who looks like me?"
The woman shook her head and replied: "No, I didn't kill him, it was Dongsha..."
"Who is Dongsha? Who are you?"
"Dongsha is Dongsha, and I am Naka."
Tang Bailing became even more confused: "Aren't you dead?"
Naka shook her head: "No, those are all illusions created by Dongsha and I. That year we escaped from the Miao border and ran all the way here. Dongsha paid to hire an old lady who was about to starve to death on the roadside. , let her use my name. She lived here for more than a year, and Dongsha poisoned her to death. Since then, there has been no Dongsha in this world..."
"That old lady became your scapegoat, and you survived."
Naka suddenly laughed, and her smile was very sad: "Actually, all this is meaningless. The Miao border is so far away, no one will come to me."
"What did you do in Miao territory?"
"Kill someone."
"who?"
Naka raised her head and looked at Tang Bailing, her eyes a little hollow: "Dongsha's whole family."
Tang Bailing was full of doubts: "Did you two join forces?"
Naka shook his head and said, "Not counting cooperation... He asked for some poison from me and poisoned his whole family. I am the Gu Master in the stockade. Whenever someone is poisoned in the stockade, it will definitely depend on me. On the head!"
"Why did he poison his whole family?"
"Huh huh huh... hahahaha..." Naka suddenly laughed like crazy, "Dongsha is a devil, a devil who is gentle on the outside but cruel on the inside. People in the village say that I like him because he married People didn’t agree with me marrying him, saying that I had a grudge because of it, so I poisoned his whole family. But I don’t like him at all, and there is no relationship between the two of us. Dongsha, I like you!"
"Jinlan?"
"Yes! Dongsha's biological sister!"
According to Naka, Dong
Sha fell in love with his own sister Jin Lan, and the two had an inappropriate relationship, which resulted in pregnancy. In order to prevent the incident from being exposed and for the sake of his sister's reputation, Dongsha planned the poisoning. Afterwards, Naka escaped from the Miao Village. Dongsha said that he was after Naka and ran out.
Tang Bailing felt that her brain was about to explode. She couldn't understand how there could be such twisted people in this world. What is certain is that this Dongsha is the later Zhen, a person who hates himself extremely and is extremely disgusted with his past. In order to protect your sister's reputation, you killed your whole family. Isn't it wrong to kill your sister alone?
She then thought that Mu Zi and Jin Lan looked very similar. She accidentally met Mu Zi, thought of her past, and regarded Mu Zi as her sister?
That should be it, right?
Tang Bailing felt a little dumbfounded.
A few years ago, when nothing happened to the Mu family in Qingzhou, people said that Qingzhou Hua Yueying was a gentle girl with a somewhat eldest lady temper, but only "some". These days, who among the girls whose families are somewhat famous doesn’t have the temper of a young lady? But after something happened at home, Mu Zi became surly, abnormal, and unpredictable.
Tang Bailing still remembers that because one of her subordinates did something wrong, she used the spear to nail the man to a tree, leaving the man to bleed to death. She remembered Mu Zi's eyes at that time, which were half enthusiastic and half cold, so contradictory that it was puzzling.
Is it possible that this is because the whole family was tortured by poison after being slaughtered? What would Mu Zi think if she knew that she was tortured for such a boring reason?
Tang Bailing looked at the lost Naka and asked, "Let me ask you, do you want to live?"
Suddenly there was light in Naka's eyes: "I want to live! In the past few years, I have married and had children. Although my man has many enemies, we live a relatively happy life. I have left the Miao territory and my tribe. I'm actually grateful to Dongsha for his malice, do you understand? I don't want to live in a life worse than death!"
The Gu masters in Miaojiang are very miserable. Most of them live in frame-ups, lies and persecution. Even if they are not Gu masters at the beginning, after being framed, they have to learn witchcraft due to the pressure of life. Naka shouldn't have been so plump before, she should have been very thin. After leaving Miaojiang, she found the man she loved and lived a life that she didn't dare to think about before, so she became wider and fatter.
She was a pitiful person. Tang Bailing originally wanted to help her up from the ground, but when he thought of the worms all over her body, he gave up the idea.
"I'm not Jin Lan," Tang Bailing said, "I'm not even the owner of this face. I don't look like this. As you just saw, I can make human skin masks that ordinary people can't distinguish. Don't worry, I I won’t kill you. There is no grudge between me and you. But... the owner of this face is also in Jiujiang now, and he already has your clues. It is only a matter of time before he finds you. That person... may be better than Dongsha. If you are still crazy, if she finds you, you may die miserably."
Naka suddenly said: "I can run!"
"She is a plague, you can't escape her."
"Are you telling me this to save me?"
Tang Bailing nodded: "Save you and save myself... I'm tired of this life too. I've never been myself in these years. Do me a favor."
"What's the deal?"
"Lend me your face."
