Through the dim candlelight, Yan Ruyu saw a white-haired man sitting cross-legged on the couch in the meditation room. She walked over and saw the strange face, and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise. The man raised his eyelids, a pair of narrow blue eyes Staring at the person in front of her eyes, Yan Ruyu's doubts disappeared, and she knelt down in front of the couch in fear: "My concubine, Yan Ruyu, pays homage to the leader."

The white-haired man smiled lightly: "Ruyu is Ruyu, and she really has a pair of wise eyes."

"Where is it, the leader is absurd."

Yan Ruyu covered her mouth with a smile, she looked like a cardamom girl, there was no trace of age on her dusty face, only a pair of eyes revealed a calmness that did not match her appearance. "Since I heard the news of the leader's death, I can't believe it. I feel depressed. Yesterday, the guardian law invited me to meet an old friend of his. He said that if I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life. I have doubts... I didn't expect it to be you, the leader. But your face doesn't look like..."

Yan Ruyu carefully looked at the white-haired man's face, hesitant to speak.

"That's right, the face you've seen is indeed not disguised. How can there be a disguise in the world that even you can't see?" Wu Yanfu rubbed his chin, "I am a dead body..."

This sentence was an understatement, but to Yu Li Wuyi's ears, it was like five thunderbolts, and his whole body was stiff at the moment.

Yan Ruyu was amazed: "There is such a miracle in the world as resurrection from a dead body!"

"It's not surprising that this seat and the lord of this body have a common destiny curse. If there is a cause, there will be an effect... Ruyu, do you know why this seat called you here?"

Yan Ruyu understood, put the golden nanmu box in her hand on the couch, took a jade hairpin from the maid's room, inserted it into the lotus-shaped organ on the box mouth, twisted it, and the box opened with a "click".The first layer of the box is a row of various small silver utensils, knives, cones, hooks, everything you expect; the second layer is several colorful porcelain vases and porcelain boxes; the bottom layer is a mask-shaped ice treasure Jian, there is a large piece of white and flawless... fresh human skin under the treasure mirror.

"My concubine only has such a little ability to make a living... Although the work in the palace is easier, the craftsmanship is not unfamiliar. The leader must be dissatisfied with the current situation?"

Wu Yanfu picked up a half-moon-shaped small silver knife, brushed his thumb over the blade, and a bloody gash was drawn.He twitched a drop of blood between his fingers, squinted his eyes, and said, "Ruyu is still so understanding, but do you remember clearly what I used to be like?"

Yan Ruyu blinked, her pair of water-cut autumn pupils shy and timid: "The master's peerless demeanor, who will never forget it after seeing it? It's just that changing faces is delicate work, and it needs to be carefully carved on human skin. It is extremely difficult to repair. A good skin is rare in a thousand years, and it is even rarer to be able to make a disguise. Before changing the face, the concubine has to peel off the skin on the current face of the leader before covering it with a new one. Face, I dare not act rashly. Master, do you have your own portrait with you?"

"Of course not." Wu Yanfu frowned, and glanced at the man standing beside him.

"The subordinate will go to draw now!" Si You caught his gaze, flattered, held the candlestick, walked to the table by the window, and keenly felt a wave of fluctuating air coming in through the crack of the window.

His heart trembled, and he shouted, "Who is out there!", and the long rope in his sleeve was like a dragon, and suddenly passed through the wooden window!

Li Wuyi dodged to dodge, but he didn't dodge, his arm was entangled by the long rope, and his body froze. When I met Wu Yanfu, he looked down at him.His gaze was like a torch, and his brain burst open like an ant's nest on a bankrupt bank.

Immediately, he threw away his helmet and armor, not daring to run away, nor did he dare to take a second look at the person on the couch. He turned over and fell down, hitting his head heavily on the ground until his forehead was bleeding: "Master...Master...Mr. Respect..."

The room was silent for a long time before he heard a chuckle.

"You still know how to call me a master? I thought you had forgotten whose apprentice you were."

There was a hint of amusement in the man's voice.This trace of playfulness is like a small knife, swimming against his throat, which is worse than the straight-forward deboning and gouging out flesh.

Li Wuyi's head did not leave the ground, and his hands seemed to be filled with lead: "Wuyi, don't dare to forget."

"Don't you dare to forget?" Wu Yanfu taunted, "You knew that little monster was going to plot against you as your master back then, but you didn't report it. As your master's life was at stake, you stood by and watched, and later, you helped him to destroy the master's ashes." ...When my teacher sees you doing all kinds of rebellious and immoral acts, I seem to have completely forgotten it."

Li Wuyi kowtowed again: "Tuer...Tuter... indeed made a big mistake."

"As a teacher... how do I treat you?"

Li Wuyi kowtowed several times, leaving a bloodstain on the ground.

"This disciple is a bereaved dog. If Master was not willing to take him in and teach him martial arts, this disciple would not be able to gain a foothold in the world. Master treats disciple with such kindness as a mountain. Disciple...disciple himself Knowing that animals are inferior, please respect and punish the disciples. If you want to kill or cut, the disciples have no complaints, I just ask, Master, don't make things difficult for Tan'er...Tan'er is just impulsive and ignorant!"

Wu Yanfu heard him say "Tan'er" one by one, calling him very affectionately, a glint of gloom flashed in his eyes: "Sinister, I didn't realize it before I was a teacher...you are really a seed of infatuation."

Li Wuyi knew that a catastrophe was imminent, so he kept silent and his heart sank like falling into an abyss.

What he was worried about was not himself, but Bai Tan.His poor little junior was already on the verge of death, if he found out that Tian Su's skin contained the master's soul, he would probably be scared to death, even if he was not scared to death, he would definitely die if it fell into the hands of the master. Having his minions pulled out, pinched in the palm of his hand and tossed fiercely, for such a proud and sensitive person like him, life would be worse than death.

No, he has to go back alive and take Bai Tan away quickly.

After thinking about it, he kowtowed again, cupped his hands and bowed: "Master...disciple...disciple, why don't you go and bring Tan'er here and make amends to the master together?"

Wu Yanfu looked down at his panic-stricken look, and struck his heart like lightning, "Apologize? You don't have to. If you really regret it, just show me that little evildoer and try to find a way to deal with it." Advise him to make a painting in the next few days. As for what to ask him to paint, you just heard it."

Pushing open the door, and walking a few steps, there was still a tinge of burning feeling on the chest touched by Wu Yanfu's fingertips. Li Wubiao was sweating through his shirt, but felt that his body seemed to be fine, and there was a feeling of narrow escape for a moment. A fluke.He turned his head and looked behind him, seeing that the two of them hadn't come out, he quickly walked to the meditation room where Bai Tan was, knocked a few times, and when there was no response, he pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Wuzhang froze.

I saw the petite boy lying on the ground alone, motionless, his messy crow hair covered most of his face, but he could vaguely see the blood stains on his lips, and his hands were still in the gesture of knotting, obviously he was meditating Unable to hold on, he fell off the couch.

He rushed over with a stride, hugged him up, his pupils suddenly dilated——

The boy's chest was a shocking red, full of vomited blood.

……

"The leader let him go like this, aren't you afraid that he will tell the little monster who you are right away, and force the little monster to escape, and it will be difficult for the leader to regain his own skills?" Si You closed the door, walked to the side of the couch, held Holding the Yanghao pen tightly in his hand, "Furthermore, that little evildoer doesn't have any painters, how can he draw the face of the leader well? This subordinate has...painted the leader before, why don't you let the subordinate try?"

Yan Ruyu nodded, and echoed: "Yes, Master, Si Hufa has followed you for many years, and must know your appearance and characteristics very well...Why did the Master ask that traitor to paint?"

Wu Yanfu narrowed his eyes half-closed, with a half-smile, and said faintly: "Although that rebel is hateful, he has the talent of never forgetting, and the martial arts he learned by stealing is also decent. He hates and fears me deeply. I often have nightmares and dream about this seat, so naturally I remember this seat... engraved in my heart."

With a "click", the pen holder broke in two in his hand. Si You walked to the table, grabbed the broken Yanghao pen in one hand, and spread out the parchment on the table for copying scriptures.A few drops of blood trickled down between the fingers and landed on the pure white parchment, like falling plums on snow.His eyes sparkled, and with a twist of his wrist, the pen produced beautiful and smooth lines of blood, carefully outlining the unique and rare face in his memory.

"It is said that Guardian Si's painting skills are superb, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved." Yan Ruyu was almost distracted, and couldn't help admiring, then turned her head to look at the human skin on the ice treasure book, and said to Wu Yanfu, "Master, the painting can wait, but the human skin can't wait. Even if there is a treasure of ice, if the human skin is not pasted on the flesh with the muscle-enhancing jade paste to nourish it, it will rot in two or three days."

Wu Yanfu glanced at the painting drawn by the person next to him, nodded his head slightly: "In this case, it's okay, you should peel off this seat's face first." After saying that, he lay down on the couch.

Yan Ruyu reached out to pick up a green porcelain bottle, poured some liquid medicine on the silk handkerchief, stretched it out in front of Wu Yanfu's face, and said softly: "Master, the numbness is gone, you have to take a sniff first, so that I can be fine." Do it."

Before he finished speaking, his wrist was barely blocked by a finger, Wu Yanfu closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "No need, this pain, I can bear it. I never touch things like Mabosan .”

Yan Ruyu persuaded hesitantly: "Master, if you don't accept Mafeisan, I'm afraid the pain will be unbearable."

"If it hurts, it hurts. I killed my mother like this back then, and I deserve the pain of skinning."

"Yes, I understand." Yan Ruyu immediately withdrew her hand and said no more. She knew that a character like Wu Yanfu had stepped through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Taking Mafeisan and causing oneself to go into a coma, entrusting one's life to others, is even more impossible.

Thinking of this, she picked up a crescent-shaped knife, dipped it in a small bottle of wine, and then dipped some milky Yurong Shengji cream, and cut the knife from the base of Wu Yanfu's ear.

The cold blade swam across the pale skin of the man, and cut a bloody opening along the jaw. Only a strand of blood oozed out before it was congealed by the cream on the blade.The tip of the knife here lifts an inch of skin, and the tip of the pen draws a thin line on the paper. The human skin is the paper, the knife is the pen, and the blood is the ink. The three of them shine together in the firelight, like a silent fight——cruel It is also cruel, and the elegance is also the elegance.

Not long after, a face was completely peeled off, but the person on the couch remained motionless, without frowning, Yan Ruyu sighed inwardly, and carefully pasted the human skin on the treasure book to the other's flesh-and-blood face , After finely cutting off the excess, close the skinless part tightly, and apply the Shengji Yurong Ointment on the edge of the interface. In an instant, the incision has disappeared without a trace.

Wu Yanfu's hands curled up by his sides, his joints turned white.

——At this moment, the torment has just begun.The pain of skin and flesh rejection is worse than when the skin is peeled, just like ten thousand ants eating the skin, making people want to tear open the skin and scratch the flesh and blood underneath.

The art of disguise is not as mysterious and unsurpassed as the rumors in the world say. Naturally, it is not so easy to be reborn. Even if the phoenix is ​​nirvana, and the moth breaks out of the cocoon, it is tantamount to experiencing a torture.

He was being tortured like this, but the words that the boy said in a daze that day appeared in his mind, and the corners of his lips twitched as if nothing had happened.

Yan Ruyu wiped the blood off Wu Yanfu's face with a silk handkerchief: "Guardian Si, are you done painting?"

Si You made the last stroke, shook the parchment, and put his hands in front of the two of them, only to see that the paper was exactly what Wu Yanfu looked like in the past.

Yan Ruyu opened her eyes wide: "It's lifelike, wonderful, wonderful."

But Wu Yanfu squinted his eyes and looked at the painting, but he was noncommittal and didn't say a word for a long time.

……

"Cough cough..."

Li Wuzhang coughed up a mouthful of blood, and forcefully poured another burst of true energy into the young man's sea of ​​qi. Feeling his internal energy slowly flowing through his meridians, he withdrew his palm exhaustedly, and probed the bottom of the young man's nose. I just feel that he is so angry that he is clearly a dying person whose life is hanging by a thread.

He hugged the young man tightly and gritted his teeth: "It's already in this situation, and you still want to heal others... How much life do you think you have?"

Bai Tan licked the blood from the corner of his lips, took a breath, and murmured in a daze: "Brother, it is said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing. I have died once, why hasn't my blessing arrived yet?" ?”

"I'll be there, I'll be there." Li Wuzhang coaxed softly, picked him up, kicked the window open, and wanted to lead him to jump out, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes.

He let go of his hands and covered his eyes, and the person in his arms fell to the ground, and was a little sober from the fall.Bai Tan reluctantly opened his eyes, seeing Li Wuyi's behavior, he couldn't help being surprised: "What's wrong with you?"

Bai Tan propped up his body and leaned towards him, but Li Wuyi knelt down suddenly, pressed him into his arms, put him in his ear, gritted his teeth, and said, "Junior Brother...Junior Brother, hurry up!"

"Why? What's the matter with you?" Bai Tan struggled for a while, but felt that this gentle and cowardly person had exerted great strength to hug him at this time, which made him unable to break free for a while.

"That Tiansu... he... he is... ah! ah... ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Tan heard Li Wuyi's scream suddenly, as if he was in unbearable pain, Bai Tan was startled, quickly grabbed his arm, and tried to pull it away, but he saw Li Wuyi bent down, with his hands in his hands. He covered his eyes, bent his fingers into claws, and his trembling fingertips almost dug into his scalp.

Bai Tan immediately touched several acupuncture points on him, grabbed his stiff arm, and pulled it from his face.

——A pair of slender fox eyes were tightly closed, blood continuously gushed out from the corners of the eyes, and flowed into two twisted bloodstains under the eyelids, gathering at the corners of his slightly twitching lips.

"Master... used to always tell me to have a clear heart and not to be blinded by a single leaf...

I'm so trapped in a cocoon, and I still make mistakes again and again, so I can't see it, that's okay. "
