Zhong Ya said: "The Patriarch has an order, and the disciples must not pretend to be the people who already existed. Anyone who violates this will bring disaster to his descendants."
"You cannot disguise yourself as someone who already exists?" Qi Ning was surprised. Zhong Ya said with a smile: "This is a rule for disciples. People of our Zhong family cannot disguise themselves as existing faces. This is the rule for Yi Shu disciples." The first iron rule.”
Qi Ning thought that if this was the case, why did you disguise yourself as Li Tang? Zhong Ya actually seemed to see through Qin Ning's mind and said: "I didn't use the skin and bone skills today. I deliberately was half a head shorter than Li Tang. It's not completely disguised." Li Tang's appearance. The art of disguise doesn't just mean changing the appearance, but also includes the body shape and voice."
Only then did Qi Ning realize it, thinking that Zhong Ya's flaw was discovered by him. It was not that he didn't use the Skin and Bone Kung Fu, but that once he used the Skin and Bone Kung Fu, it was exactly the same as Li Tang, which would violate the iron law passed down by his ancestors. .
Qining clicked his tongue in surprise, and suddenly found that after talking for a long time, the two of them were still standing, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhong, please sit down quickly." He asked Zhong Ya to take a seat.
Logically speaking, Zhong Ya has no actual position in the Beggar Clan. Although he keeps a low profile, in terms of status, he is just an ordinary Beggar Clan disciple. Not to mention compared to the Marquis Qining, he is just an ordinary Beggar Clan helmsman. Compared with the master, his status is also lower, but this man has an extraordinary ability to disguise himself, which makes Qining admire him and respect him, without any condescension.
Qi Ning has always accepted the weak rather than the strong, and he never cares about the status of the other person. He only looks at whether the other person has real ability. If the other person has no ability, no matter how high his status is, Qi Ning will not think highly of him at all, but if he is really He has extraordinary abilities, even if his status is low, Qining will always respect him.
Zhong Ya saw that Qin Ning was young and although he came from a martial arts family and had a noble status, he did not have the condescending arrogance of a disciple of the family, and he seemed extremely easy-going. He could also feel Qi Ning's respect for him and secretly admired in his heart. After sitting down, Zhong Ya lowered his voice and said, "Can the Marquis leave?"
Qi Ning nodded and said: "I have made arrangements. The King of Huainan will take my place and continue to lead the team back to the capital. I can leave at any time."
Zhong Ya nodded and said: "There are still three days before the Xiangyang Qingmu Conference. From here to Xiangyang, we have to go fast day and night. If the journey goes well, we can catch up. By the way, Elder Lou sent Mao Hu'er to accompany him. The Marquis is heading to Xiangyang and it is inconvenient for them to come over and wait fifteen miles away from here."
Qi Ning said: "After Mr. Zhong had dinner, we started to disguise ourselves." He lowered his voice and said: "Sir, with all due respect, are the people who followed me reliable?"
Zhong Ya said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou. Apart from Mr. Hou, there are four people on this trip, including Mao Hu'er. They are all good players in the Beggar Clan, but the only one who knows Mr. Hou's true identity is Mao Hu'er. One person. Although I come from the Zhong family, when I joined the Beggar Clan, no one knew that I was from the Zhong family, so except for Elder Lou, no one in the Beggar Clan knew that I was good at disguise."
"Oh?" Qi Ning was startled, thinking that Zhong Ya was hiding very deeply.
"But Mao Hu'er wants to take Lord Hou to attend the Qingmu Conference, so we can only let him know this time." Zhong Ya said: "Several other people are loyal to Elder Lou and are absolutely reliable, including Mao Hu'er. A person whom Elder Lou trusts very much. It is naturally impossible for Mao Huer to reveal the true identity of Mr. Hou. The other people only know that they are here to protect Mr. Hou and will not ask any questions. "
Qi Ning poured a cup of tea for Zhong Ya, smiled, and then asked: "Mr. Zhong, you are good at disguise. I have something to ask you here."
"The Marquis is too polite. I don't dare to ask for advice." Zhong Ya said, "If you have any instructions from the Marquis, just tell me."
Qi Ning thought for a moment and then asked: "Mr. Zhong, do you think there are people who look exactly the same in this world?"
"Of course there are." Zhong Ya said without hesitation: "Although they are not common, they look exactly the same. If you look carefully, you can find them."
Qining then asked: "Two strangers, completely different from each other, but they are exactly the same in appearance and height. The strangest thing is that if they have birthmarks on their bodies, they will grow in the same place. Is this possible? exist?"
In fact, this question has been lingering in Qi Ning's mind for a long time. Today, he met Zhong Ya, a master-level figure in appearance, and he asked about it.
Qining's ability to enter the Jinyihou Mansion was entirely due to a combination of circumstances and pure chance.
On the way to Beijing, he met the dead Prince Jinyi. The two looked similar. Although Qining was a little surprised, he had no intention of replacing him. He had no choice but to change into the clothes of the Prince Jinyi because his clothes were shabby. , but was mistaken by Duan Canghai and a group of people who were following him as the real Prince Jinyi, and arrived at the Jinyihou Mansion in a daze.
At first, it was just a coincidence that made Qi Ning feel dumbfounded, but later he learned that there was a mark on the back of his left shoulder. What was even weirder was that the real prince in Jinyi had an exact mark in the same place. The scar marks made Qining feel a little weird.
Zhong Ya was good at the art of disguise, and of course he knew much more about the human body than ordinary people. Qining thought that the opportunity was too good to miss, and only hoped to find some clues from Zhong Ya's words.
Zhong Ya said with a smile: "Master Hou, there are no identical people in the world. Even twins, there will be some slight differences, let alone ordinary people."
"Twins?" Qining was stunned.
Zhong Ya said: "In the whole world, if we say that the closest appearance is to twins from one mother, they are almost identical at first glance. Although there are many people with similar appearances in the world, they are always more similar. After all, twins come from the same mother's womb. Although twins are almost identical, if you search carefully, you can still find the differences. Otherwise, there are many twins in the world. If they cannot identify them, how can their parents tell them apart? clear?"
Qi Ning nodded slightly. In fact, he also understood that the appearance of twin children from the same mother was naturally very similar, but the owner of his body was a wanderer, while the prince in Jinyi was born into a wealthy family. Qi Ning really couldn't figure out how the two people could be related, and it was even more impossible for the two people to be twins. If they were really twins, how could such a noble family in the Jinyihou Mansion let their own heirs wander outside.
"As for the Marquis saying that two people who have never met have similar looks, then it is naturally possible, but if there are exactly the same marks on the two people, based on my years of understanding, it is almost impossible." Zhong Ya said slowly: " Even if twin brothers come out of their mother's womb with the same birthmarks on their bodies, the possibility is extremely slim, not to mention that two people who have never met each other not only have similar looks, but also have similar birthmarks."
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, "If such a situation really occurs, how should we explain it?"
Zhong Ya thought for a while and then said: "It can only be said that I am ignorant." He asked: "Master Marquis, have you ever seen such a person? Are their birthmarks really in the same position?"
Qi Ning smiled and said: "I have heard someone talk about it before. I think he was bragging, but he didn't say it was a birthmark. He only said that the two people had the same mark on the same location on their bodies."
Zhong Ya said: "It turns out it's not a birthmark. Mr. Hou, if that's the case, it's easy to explain. The marks on the two people should not have been taken from the mother's womb when they were born, but were branded by someone later. According to Hou According to my opinion, since they are in the same location and the marks look the same, they should be made by the same person."
"Created by the same person?" Qining was stunned.
Zhong Ya smiled and said: "Actually, let me tell you, even if those two people have never met, it does not mean that they have no connection. Otherwise, why would they be branded with the same mark?"
Qi Ning's heart trembled, and he whispered: "Mr. Zhong, are you saying that the two people were related, but they didn't know it?"
Zhong Ya nodded and said: "It's possible. Lord Marquis, to leave the same mark on his body, actually has only one ultimate purpose, which is to prove that they are related to each other. There are many gangs in the world, When you enter, you have to put a mark on a certain part of your body to prove that you belong to the same sect."
"According to Mr. Zhong, those two people must be related?" Qining looked directly into Zhong Ya's eyes.
Zhong Ya nodded and said: "If the Marquis heard what others said, that person must have hidden something. If the Marquis saw it with his own eyes, I'm sorry, the Marquis may not have seen what happened behind the scenes. If those two people If they just have the same marks on their bodies but different appearances, they may be from the same gang or the same organization, and they may not have met each other. If two people just have the same appearance but no marks, it is not uncommon for two people who have no connection in the world to look alike. But they look very similar and have the same mark, so they must have a very deep connection."
The key point that Qi Ning has always been puzzled about is exactly here, and he can't help but nod slightly.
It's just that he really can't figure out what kind of relationship the little Diao'er, who is living everywhere, has with the Jinyi Crown Prince? Qining couldn't believe that these two people were born from the same mother. He had thought about it many times and felt that it was impossible for the Jinyi Hou Mansion to let the Qi family's blood flow out. After all, this was an era where men were superior to women. As the male who continued the clan, no matter it was Whether a royal nobleman, a high-ranking official, or a trafficker and a pawn, they will all cherish their lives.
As one of the four hereditary princes of the Chu Kingdom, the Qi family would definitely mobilize their forces to search everywhere if there were any members of the family who were living abroad. However, they could not be found in time. There would still be some clues left in the prince's mansion, but Gu Qinghan and No one in the mansion has ever mentioned this matter, which can only mean that such a thing has never happened in the Hou Mansion.
Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Tang came in with food. Qining came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong, you want to eat, we will prepare it after dinner." He then ordered: "Go and see if Wu Dalin is Go to bed and ask him to come over."
