(This is a transitional plot, please read it patiently...)
"Forget it!" Nangong Yanxi said to the old man with the idea of giving it a try: "I want something that can change my appearance and voice. It is said that in some places, there are disguise pills, voice-changing pills, and transformation pills. Waiting for the strange elixirs to be sold, I wonder if these things are sold in my father-in-law’s shop?”
The old man stared at Nangong Yanxi and said calmly: "I really don't have the voice-changing pill here, but it's not just those things that can change your appearance. I really have something here that meets your requirements, and It can also be used repeatedly, unlike the Yi Yong Dan, which is used up once used, but the value is a bit expensive. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Nangong Yanxi was surprised and said, "What is that? Since I asked, of course I want to buy it!"
The old man glanced at Nangong Yanxi and said in a strange tone: "Okay, I'll let you see something like this. Come with me!"
After saying that, this strange old man actually opened the back curtain and slipped into another place from the small shop. Nangong Yanxi was stunned and followed in. Only then did he realize that this was another space. It was extremely dark everywhere, and some strange patterns were carved on the stone wall. The entire space was empty, except for a small table.
The old man walked behind the table, opened one of the drawers, took out something from it, and placed it in front of Nangong Yanxi.
It was a thin, waxy face, spread out on the table, like a painting, with a nose and eyes, everything looked so lifelike.
"This is it?" Nangong Yanxi took it in surprise. I just felt that the softness in my hand was no different from touching a real human face. I couldn't help but feel strange and asked.
The old man's voice had an indescribable weirdness, and he said lightly: "This is a disguise. Once you put it on, you will be just like a real person. No one can detect your abnormality. The entire Western Region, like this It’s not something you see often, and perhaps this is the one and only one in Kunlun City.”
Nangong Yanxi lowered her head and wiped it. She immediately felt an extra layer of something on her face. She didn't feel any discomfort. Once she got used to it, she looked like a normal person. However, her whole appearance had completely changed, as if she had a sallow complexion. The young girl has a cold and indifferent expression, rejecting people thousands of miles away.
This expression is just a disguise to prevent others from getting too close, and this mask completely hides Nangong Yanxi's original appearance and transforms her into another person.
Nangong Yanxi couldn't help but said with great joy: "This is what I want, how can I sell it?"
The old man shook his head and said: "I won't sell it!"
Nangong Yanxi was startled, then said angrily: "Are you kidding me?"
The old man shook his head and said: "This thing is not for sale, only for exchange. If you want it, you have to help me find something. If you find that thing, I can give you this disguise."
"What?" Nangong Yanxi asked slightly curiously.
The old man stared at Nangong Yanxi closely and said, "You are a disciple of Kunlun, right, and your status must be high?"
Nangong Yanxi said strangely: "Why do you ask this?"
The old man smiled strangely and said calmly: "You don't need to ask me what I want to do, just answer yes."
Nangong Yanxi nodded and said, "Yes." There was nothing to hide. The clothes on her body and the aura she exuded belonged to the Kunlun Sect, so Nangong Yanxi had no intention of hiding it.
The old man nodded and said: "That's good. As long as you are a disciple of Kunlun, you can help me get what I want. I want a purple fire lotus from the cold pond stone hall of Qianhuan Wanxin Cave. Go and give it to me." Pick one and I will give you this disguise?"
Nangong Yanxi was stunned and said, "Is it that simple?"
The old man confirmed: "Yes, it's that simple. As long as you go in and pick a purple fire lotus for me, this disguise will be yours."
Nangong Yanxi stared at her suspiciously and said, "What do you want that kind of thing for? The Purple Fire Lotus doesn't seem to have any other purpose except for viewing."
The old man said impatiently: "Don't worry about it. Just worry about whether you can take it out. If you can, let's talk about everything. If you can't, forget it. We don't need to continue talking."
Nangong Yanxi was silent for a moment before asking, "Why don't you go by yourself?"
The old man laughed sarcastically: "If I could go in, would I still have to rely on you? Knowing too much is not good for you, so you'd better not know."
Nangong Yanxi stared at the old man for a long time. In the end, she couldn't find anything difficult about picking a purple fire lotus, and there was nothing wrong with it. After thinking about it, she nodded resolutely and said: "Okay, I'll pick one for you." Purple Fire Lotus, give me this disguise mask when the time comes. I hope you keep your word."
The old man said: "That's natural. When have I ever deceived people? You can find out by asking around."
Nangong Yanxi felt something was wrong keenly, but she couldn't express it. In the end, she stopped thinking about it and said directly: "Just wait." After saying that, she turned around and left the stone room. After thinking for a moment, she went straight to Qianhuan Come from Wanxin Cave.
The old man was looking at her back from behind, with a strange light shining in his eyes. Unfortunately, Nangong Yanxi had already left, but he didn't see it.
In Qianhuan Wanxin Cave, Nangong Yanxi walked towards the stone door. The eyes of the two stone lions at the door flashed red, echoing the badge on her body. Then, the stone door opened wide, and Nangong Yanxi stood up and walked in.
What appeared in front of her was still the stone hall, with a bottomless turquoise pool filled with purple fire lotus flowers in full bloom, and no one around.
Nine huge dragon stone pillars stand in the middle of the stone platform, with the top of the cave roof and the bottom of the pool water, standing upright in place as always.
It's such a simple thing, why do you have to do it for me? Even if she is not a disciple of Kunlun and cannot enter this Cave of Thousands of Illusions and Hearts, it shouldn't be difficult to get a purple fire lotus. Isn't there such a lotus in the outside world
Nangong Yanxi looked at the purple fire lotus in the pond strangely. No matter how she looked at it, she did not find that these purple fire lotus were any different from those outside. The lotus was still the same lotus. If there was a little difference, Maybe there is only the pool here. This kind of pool is deep green and has a faint cold air coming out. I don’t know what kind of pool it is. It looks very weird.
Nangong Yanxi's eyes flickered. She liked the disguise mask very much and had to get it. And this purple fire lotus flower didn't seem to be of any importance. However, if you think I'm a fool, it's not that easy. They were deceiving each other, "Humph..." Nangong Yanxi sneered.
Nangong Yanxi reached out and folded a purple fire lotus in her hand. At this moment, she felt a vibration in the ground, the pool water started to boil, and the nine dragon stone pillars on the stone platform seemed to start to Turn.
Nangong Yanxi was so horrified that she didn't have time to observe carefully. She rushed forward and rushed out of the stone door, disappearing on the spot. After rushing through the white mist in an instant, she breathed out softly. Only then did she realize that there were people all around, and many people were walking around. The outside rushed here, seeming to hear the movement inside.
Nangong Yanxi was stunned, then quickly stuffed the purple fire lotus into her arms, pretending that she had heard the noise and rushed over, and rushed in along with the first group of people.
Suddenly, she was stunned by the stone hall that appeared in front of her. In the hall, the nine dragon pillars had all moved. The water in the pool seemed to have dropped by a full third of the water level, revealing a lower level. The platform on the first floor and the lotus in the pool seemed to be missing something and became dying.
After Nangong Yanxi counted them in detail, she discovered that there were only eight lotus flowers left inside. She had never noticed it before, but now she counted and realized that the number of lotus flowers inside was fixed, nine in total, and had never changed. However, it seems that there is no intention of blooming or withering another flower, and it seems to have always been like this.
Among the people who came, there were many Kunlun monks from Kunlun City. All of them were staring at the pool in front of them in a daze.
After a while, the law enforcement elder with gray hair on his face and a restrained body carefully took out a bottle from his arms and poured a drop of purple-white liquid into it.
Suddenly something incredible happened in the pool. At the original broken stem, a purple fire lotus sprouted again, blooming quickly. Finally, the nine lotuses once again formed a strange shape, surrounding each other, and the water in the pool slowly rose, and finally returned to its original state, "Giggle... "Amidst the sound of the sound, the nine dragon stone pillars returned to their original positions. The entire cave was the same as before, and there seemed to be no change. The only thing that changed was that the small bottle in the hand of the law enforcement elder was missing another drop of blood.
After doing all this, everyone held their breath. The law enforcement elder's eyes were like lightning. He scanned everyone in the cave and said in a cold voice: "Check, we must investigate thoroughly. Who did it?" Anyone who dares to destroy the spiritual veins of the Thousand Fantasy Heart Cave in the southern region of Kunlun City is an issue related to our southern region of Kunlun City. Once discovered, you are allowed to arrest them on the spot. If you dare to disobey, you will be killed on the spot without mercy. ."
The others were all frightened and nodded hurriedly: "Yes."
Another law enforcement monk was sweating, looking at the bottle in the hands of the law enforcement elder, and said with a deep look of worry: "There isn't much of this cold marrow left. If this happens two or three more times, then we..."
The law enforcement elder stared at him coldly and said: "It's you, you are usually careless and think that no outsider can pass the two levels outside, so you left this place in the cold. From today on, we will send people to check it non-stop." Guard here, if anyone dares to steal the Kunlun Sect's southern spiritual veins from Kunlun City, they will be killed without mercy. If there are any mistakes again, you should come to see us!"
The law enforcement monk wiped his hands with cold sweat, but did not dare to refute. In front of the law enforcement elders, he could only be obedient. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, my subordinates will make arrangements right now."
