Chapter 170 Tracking markers
Through the test, Lu Changan found that the identity obtained by killing the blood essence and soul of the devouring target, the mask is not only the appearance and breath simulation, but also more realistic and perfect.
There is a latent trait in the Imaginary Mask that affects him. Every move, every frown and smile fits the inner temperament of the person who has acquired the identity.
Just for a moment.
He seemed to be "possessed" by the dead Pei Qiuyan, vividly interpreting a glamorous and refined female cultivator in the foundation-building period.
His behavior habits, tone of voice, and various body details have reached the point of being fake.
"As long as you don't say anything that is fake, even people you know well around you will find it difficult to see through the disguise."
Lu Changan came to a conclusion.
This is different from the camouflage effect achieved by obtaining the blood and mana breath of the target before. The main difference lies in the real charm.
A few years ago, he pretended to be Junior Brother Cheng. He could only ensure that his appearance and aura were as real as the real one. If someone close to him might find something was wrong.
Fortunately, Junior Brother Cheng has been expelled from the sect for many years, and Lu Changan is careful not to say anything, so as not to reveal obvious flaws.
After a long time, Lu Changan took off the Imaginary Mask, and his mind was in a trance for a moment, as if returning to his real identity from an immersive performance.
If it is an ordinary monk, there will be a strong sense of gap.
However, this is nothing compared to the reincarnation of Jiuyinbei.
Squeak!
Seeing Lu Changan back to his original appearance, the rock mouse was overjoyed, and relaxed from the tense state of blowing hair.
It stretched out its paws and touched Lu Changan's body intimately, as if trying to distinguish the real from the fake.
…
Followed by half a year.
The chaotic fighting around Wuqi Mountain has been contained.
It seems to be Lihuogong's shot, which has a certain deterrent effect.
Lu Changan donated Song Wenshu's spirit stone (shared by the three peak masters) with his hard work, and it was not in vain.
Song Wenshu occasionally took the law enforcement monks from Lihuo Palace to inspect the vicinity of Wuqi Mountain and drink tea at Xiaoguifeng.
In the eyes of outsiders, it shows the good relationship between Wu Qishan and the monks of Lihuo Palace.
However, the situation that Wu Qishan's guests were intercepted halfway could not be eliminated.
It's just not as arrogant as before, the crime happened at least dozens of miles away.
In this case, compared with Daduofang City or the surrounding areas of Xiancheng, it is already considered better
Mainly due to factors of the environment.
As the Zongmen's war against the Feng Kingdom continued, more monsters, ghosts, and thugs took advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble and fish in troubled waters.
The troublemakers, the real robbery cultivators and evil cultivators, are only part of it.
In many cases, it belongs to the "temporary cameo" of ordinary monks, such as the dead brothers and sisters of the Pei family.
If Lu Changan hadn't lived a long life and made a lot of money in this life, if he encountered a good opportunity, he might have made a guest appearance, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, fishing and law enforcement.
This day.
The three peak masters of Mount Wuqi were discussing matters in the Xiaoguifeng Cave Mansion.
This discussion was initiated by Lu Changan.
"Recently, there has been an increase in the phenomenon of people killing people and seizing treasures and intercepting customers around Wuqi Mountain. There is a trend of resurgence and chaos."
Lu Changan opened his mouth and said.
What he didn't say is: in the past two months, his powerful soul faintly sensed an unknown monk who spied on Wuqi Mountain from a distance.
This kind of spying is not necessarily aimed at Wu Qishan, but maybe to follow those guests.
As a long-lived person, he needs a stable environment for cultivation with the Ningjing Pill in hand.
"The concubine has also felt this situation. The guests who have been intercepted recently are basically monks with weak strength or background, and most of the accidents happened at night."
Fairy Master nodded.
Under the general background, the law and order in Liang Guoxiu's world has declined, which is a common phenomenon, especially near small and medium-sized trading communities.
The sect went out to fight, and the manpower was limited, so it was impossible to take care of every small case.
Only a few ordinary monks died, which did not cause a big impact and would not attract the attention of the sect.
Song Wenshu has been very busy recently, and it is not easy for Wu Qishan to make a big deal out of such an inconspicuous incident.
"Lu suspects that there is a group of fixed Jiexiu near Wuqi Mountain. The guests on our mountain are one of their targets."
Lu Changan first expressed his speculation.
There is no market for two thousand miles around, and there are several Lingmai Daochang and Xiaoxiuxian family. Wuqi Mountain can be regarded as a small gathering place that can be traded.
"Fellow Daoist Lu invited us over, do you have any suggestions?"
Ye Fei smiled.
Having been a neighbor for so many years, he has a better understanding of Lu Changan's behavior style.
"There are two options."
Lu Changan pondered.
"First, if you don't want to take risks, you can spend spirit stones to invite experts to come over and wipe out the robbers who are fixed nearby."
"Second, if Jiexiu's strength is mediocre, we will solve it in private, as a warning to others."
Hearing this, the other two peak masters nodded slightly in agreement.
Wu Qishan's three major peak masters have good financial resources and strength, so both options can be considered.
"The premise is to find out the details of Jiexiu's strength. In terms of tracking, I am not good at it."
Shi Manrong thought about it.
Lu Changan and Ye Fei looked at each other.
"Leave this matter to the two of us."
Lu Changan has a second-level rat demon with a keen sense of smell and is good at tracking and investigating.
In addition to pharmacological poisoning, Ye Fei also mastered a mysterious technique of repelling insects.
"Fairy Master has a high level of cultivation and has the most methods. If you want to fight, you need to take a little extra care."
…
First, they searched Wuqi Mountain with a radius of 20 miles, but found no traces or strongholds of Jiexiu.
It is noon today.
Xiaoguifeng, in the pavilion by the lotus pond.
Lu Changan tasted the spiritual tea brought by the maid.
The mysterious water turtle was lying on the edge of the pool, staring blankly at a certain direction, with a hint of yearning in his eyes.
Lu Changan suddenly thought that Guan Qiaozhi hadn't written a letter for several years.
"Twenty years."
He roughly calculated that Guan Qiaozhi had been away for more than twenty years.
When this woman left, Lu Changan was one hundred and seven years old.
A few days ago, Lu Changan turned one hundred and twenty-eight years old.
In a few years, Guan Qiaozhi will also reach the age of 100.
Because there is no fight, proper maintenance, and taking the first-order longevity pill, he predicts that Guan Qiaozhi can at least live close to the upper limit of the refining period.
Whoosh!
A flash of light in the foundation building period came from outside Wuqi Mountain and went straight to Wuqi Mountain, interrupting Lu Changan's thoughts.
"Uncle Lu!"
A woman's voice sounded as soft as a warbler's cry.
A slender woman in a green skirt flew down in front of Xiaogui Peak.
Starry eyes and white teeth, as clear as jade.
The familiar voice and appearance brought back double memories of Lu Changan.
The longer memory has almost faded.
The most recent memory is one of the two maids on Xiaogui Peak, the lonely and persistent girl in the green skirt.
"Bingyun, you are here."
Lu Changan stood up and said with a smile.
The array was activated, and Mu Bingyun entered this once extremely familiar hometown.
Twenty years have passed, and the layout of the mountain, every plant and tree, is almost unchanged.
The mysterious water turtle just grew up a bit.
The admired Uncle Lu is still dressed in white, ageless, gentle and peaceful.
The tall and handsome figure is like an ancient tree rooted in the earth, which has become deeper and more stable with the precipitation of time.
At that moment, perhaps due to her psychological effect, a faint illusion of majesty appeared.
…
"Bingyun, I met Uncle Lu."
Mu Bingyun stepped forward, with a respectful tone, bowing her knees.
As an old friend, the maid who used to get along day and night, Lu Changan didn't have polite greetings, and let her sit in the pavilion at will.
The moment Mu Bingyun entered the pavilion, she almost entered the role of a maid back then, preparing to serve tea and water to Uncle Lu.
She realized that the ten or twenty years in Xiaoguifeng had an indelible influence on her life.
"Nowadays, the area around Wuqi Mountain is quite chaotic, you shouldn't come here casually."
Lu Changan took a sip of tea, and looked at the former maid again.
Mu Bingyun has been promoted to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, which should have been in the past two years.
It went better than he expected.
"Uncle Lu, in the territory of Liang State, apart from the land of the Zongmen, where is there any real stable place?"
Mu Bingyun sighed softly.
Afterwards, she talked about the purpose of coming to Wuqi Mountain
"A few months ago, the originally chaotic Zhuyeshan Square City was breached by a group of monks working together from inside and outside. Fighting and looting everywhere in the square city, the family's shops suffered heavy losses, and several casualties..."
Lu Changan did not expect that the public security environment of Zhuye Mountain was much worse than that of Wuqi Mountain.
Around Wuqi Mountain, there are at most only a small number of robbery repairs, and no major disturbances have occurred.
"The owner of Zhuye Mountain is Maple Leaf Huang's family. The Taoist partner of Huang Yingchun, a female monk who established the foundation of the Huang family, did not make a move in the late stage of foundation establishment?"
Lu Changan's eyes flashed.
"No. That person in the late stage of foundation establishment, his lifespan is approaching the end of his life, and he is already old. Huang Yingchun just alienated him two years ago, and the other party will naturally not work hard for it..."
Mu Bingyun explained.
"During the First Battle of Fang City, a new foundation-builder that the Huang family had cultivated with great difficulty in the past few years also unfortunately fell."
Hearing this, Lu Changan basically concluded that Zhuyeshan would become a place of right and wrong.
"Feiyue Lake is a foundation-building family that is relatively close to Zhuye Mountain. The safety of the monks in the family is threatened. I discussed with Uncle Erqing and planned to improve the family protection formation of Feiyue Lake."
"Wu Qishan's Shi Xianzi is a quasi-third-order formation mage, and has a good relationship with Uncle Lu. Bingyun wants to ask her to help set up the formation."
Mu Bingyun explained her intentions.
"This matter is not a big problem. I will take you to visit her later."
Lu Changan nodded.
The friendship between him and Fairy Shi is not so deep.
"By the way, Bingyun. When you came to Wuqi Mountain, did you feel like you were being watched?"
Lu Changan asked.
"It seems that at a certain moment, I have this feeling."
Mu Bingyun was not sure, but thoughtful.
Based on her understanding of Uncle Lu, there must be a reason for such a question.
In today's relatively chaotic situation, it is normal to be occasionally spied on the road.
However, the monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment are also second-level talisman masters, and the idle robbers dare not make up their minds.
Without prior planning, even in the late stage of foundation establishment, I dare not say that I will definitely be able to win the talisman master in the middle stage of foundation establishment.
Lu Changan discovered that someone had placed a hidden tracking mark on Mu Bingyun's body.
