Chapter 28 Human Skin Mask
When eating, the other children of the family were there. However, due to the rapid progress of Qin Yuelou's star fighting power this year, coupled with the matter of Qin Han and Qin He, no one dares to mock Qin Yuelou now. They sat upright one by one. When Qin Yuelou came, they began to use their chopsticks.
Qin Longtao is still not in the family, leaving only Qin Yuelou's mother, Ye Qing, to preside over the family's trivial affairs. At this moment, the four elders did not come at the table. After all, as elders, they still have some face and temper.
Seeing Qin Yuelou coming, Ye Qing smiled and let everyone start eating. - This kind of rule has been regarded as a young master.
During the meal, Qin Yuelou wanted to open his mouth several times to discuss with his mother about leaving Tianlong City and going to Kuye City, but as soon as he came to his mouth, he couldn't say it. He knew that because of the disappearance of his brother Qin Feng, his mother now cherishes and values her only son. If such a request is made, I don't think she will agree.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuelou's heart was bitter, and it seemed that he could only find a way on the elder. However, he just didn't know what his father would think of this matter. For so many years, he didn't know that his brother had participated in such a competition, or he only learned it from Situ Lingjia's mouth. This had to make him feel deeply puzzled at the same time.
The next day, after Qin Yuelou got up and practiced, he went to Situ's Fangshi. Just as I walked into the material shop, I saw Situ Lingjia in a cyan floral dress. She happened to stand on the edge of the counter and look at herself with a smile.
"Miss Situ, it's so early!" Feeling the other party's joking eyes, Qin Yuelou touched his head. After a smile, he hesitated and said, "Well, have you brought it?"
"How can my sister not pay attention to what my brother told me!" Looking at Qin Yuelou angrily, Situ Lingjia said, "Come in and talk about it later!"
The two walked into the inner room. Situ Lingjia looked at Qin Yuelou's nervous appearance and said angrily and funnyly, "No, this is the human skin mask. Take it!" With that, there was an extra leathery and yellowish thing in his hand, and then he threw it directly to Qin Yuelou opposite.
I took over the human skin mask, and the tentacles were cold, as if stroking the fine silk underwear, which was thin and slippery.
Seeing Qin Yuelou stroking the human skin mask, Situ Lingjia said, "This is made of real human skin, not as tough as pig skin and leg skin. Its biggest disadvantage is that it is too thin and fragile, easy to be damaged and destroyed. Even if it is not damaged, it can only be preserved for four or five years. This is what I finally got, sister. Don't break it!"
"Ah, is it really shameless?" After listening to Situ Lingjia's words, Qin Yuelou was shocked and shivered all over. He almost let go of the human skin mask and fell to the ground. Noting Situ Lingjia's smiling expression, Qin Yuelou forced himself to calm down and boldly looked at the exquisite human skin mask in his hand.
The human skin mask can be said to be a very mysterious item in the whole Star Wars continent. This kind of item is not made by the star armor master, but by a craftsman who specializes in making mask crafts!
It is said that the production of human skin masks is very troublesome. A good human skin mask requires cutting a thin layer of human skin on the uncorrupt corpse, and a large set of procedures such as soaking in fire, steaming and disinfection, etc. to make a batch of masks. This sounds a little creepy, but it doesn't prevent people from pursuing it!
Of course, this kind of thing is very rebellious in the eyes of the Star Armor Master, so a long time ago, this kind of craftsman completely disappeared under the pressure of the Star Magic Master. And the whole continent has also lost the method of making it, and there are not many human skin masks left.
To Qin Yuelou's surprise, this person's skin mask was actually made of real human skin, which had to shock Qin Yuelou a little.
Because there are few human skin masks left, and most of the remaining masks are made of pig skin or other livestock. For example, masks made of human skin or human skin, Qin Yuelou has only heard of it, but he did not think that one day he could hold such a thing in his hand!
The man's skin mask in his hand has only one outline, but his facial features are still slightly blurred. After Qin Yuelou came to his senses from shock, he looked at Situ Lingjia doubtfully and said, "How to use this?"
"Do you know how to use the human skin mask?" Situ Lingjia giggled, looked at Qin Yuelou's embarrassment, took the human skin mask from his hand, and said, "What do you like to make?"
"It's good to be ordinary. It looks about the same age as me!" Qin Yuelou thought for a moment and replied.
"This is easy to do!" Hearing this, Situ Lingjia suddenly opened the door of the inner room and said, "Mr. Tie, come in!"
In the confusion of Qin Yuelou, the middle-aged shopkeeper came in respectfully. Situ Lingjia threw the human skin mask to him and said, "Make an ordinary teenager, hehe, my brother doesn't like to be too flamboyant!"
"Okay, young lady!" The iron old man nodded respectfully, took out a small box from his arms, took out a piece of leather from the bottom, gently covered it on the human skin mask, then took out a knife and a delicate hammer from the dark clip of the lid, and finally took out a small piece of black charcoal.
Subsequently, in Qin Yuelou's surprised eyes, the leather covering the human skin mask hooked out the outline with a charcoal block, quickly cut off the excess part with a knife, and began to keep hitting it with a small hammer.
With Mr. Tie's work, Situ Lingjia looked at the stunned Qin Yuelou and explained with a giggle, "Brother, are you surprised? In fact, this human skin mask was also given to me by Tie Lao. He is the maker of the human skin mask!"
"Ah!" Qin Yuelou looked up and down and looked amazingly. At this moment, he was focusing on the middle-aged shopkeeper. Unexpectedly, this iron old man was actually the lost craftsman!
No wonder he can become Situ Lingjia's confidant. This Situ family is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger!
Hearing Situ Lingjia's explanation, Qin Yuelou calmed down instead. Since Situ Lingjia can let Tie Lao show it in front of him without hesitation, it means that he has regarded himself as his own and did not hide it at all.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuelou cast a look at Situ Lingjia, but happened to see Situ Lingjia looking at him with a meaningful expression. The two looked at each other and smiled speechlessly.
"Miss, it's done!" At this time, Tie Lao's voice sounded. In less than ten minutes, the middle-aged man's forehead had overflowed with sweat. He gasped and wiped the human skin mask carefully and handed it to Situ Lingjia.
"Okay, you go out!" Situ Lingjia nodded and said.
After Mr. Tie left, Situ Lingjia handed the human skin mask with re-examined facial features to Qin Yuelou and said, "How's it going? Is this brother still satisfied?"
At this moment, the human skin mask has completely changed its appearance. In a short time, a young man's face, which is so ordinary that it does not look good, appears vividly on the human skin mask.
Seeing the exclamation in Qin Yuelou's eyes, Situ Lingjia smiled and said, "Brother, try it on!"
Thinking that this was made by human skin, Qin Yuelou resisted the nausea in his heart and slowly put it on his face. When the human skin mask touched his skin, it seemed that there was an invisible suction force that closed the two tightly. With a crisp sound, the human skin mask was tightly attached to himself. On my own face.
Touching his face, Qin Yuelou did not feel any discomfort or discomfort. He only felt that the skin seemed to be a little smoother than his own skin.
Situ Lingjia looked at Qin Yuelou with different eyes. She hit each other with her bare hands, applauded gently, and praised in surprise, "Oh, my God, the human skin mask is really magical! Brother, if I hadn't known that you were Qin Yuelou, my sister would never have recognized you!"
Qin Yuelou did not answer, but walked to a mirror in the inner room and looked at it. In the mirror, there was a completely strange self. Except for those still shining eyes, there was no place like himself. At this moment, Qin Yuelou was slightly distracted.
After staring for a while, Qin Yuelou tried to rub his hand from his chin all the time, but he didn't feel any bulge. He immediately turned his head and said suspiciously, "Why didn't I feel the existence of a human skin mask?"
"This is the uniqueness of the human skin mask made by human face. The mask made by a well-made craftsman can make people feel its existence at all!" Situ Lingjia seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Yuelou's stunned look. He covered his mouth and smiled and said, "To take off the mask, you need to apply a special potion to your face. After an hour, you can take it off!"
After listening to Situ Lingjia's explanation, Qin Yuelou nodded, and then tried to get used to it for a while before taking it down with the help of Situ Lingjia. At this time, it was almost noon. After Qin Yuelou asked about a month to participate in the competition, Situ Lingjia told him to gather outside the South Gate in five days. At that time, someone from the Situ family would send him to Kuye City!
After taking the human skin mask and leaving the Situ family's square city, somehow, a kind of melancholy suddenly rose in Qin Yuelou's heart. Even he didn't know why this emotion rose. He smiled bitterly and stared at the white clouds and blue sky in the distance for a while before turning back to the Qin family's mansion.
In the next four days, Qin Yuelou did not continue to practice star combat power, but locked himself in the room and carved star armor items. However, this time is limited. Qin Yuelou did not carve any star armor weapons that would help him in battle. Instead, he carved two kinds of gravity equipment - a pair of wrist guards and a pair of knee pads!
Gravity carving is one of the simplest carvings in the star armor carving, and in four days, with the extraordinary talent of Qin Yuelou, only two small items have been carved, which is enough to show that its success rate is low.
Wearing two things on his wrists and calves, an invisible pressure suddenly pressed down on his body. Qin Yuelou squatted and took a deep breath, so that he could barely stand firm, so that his center of gravity would not be unstable and fall.
Although these two gravity star armor items look inconspicuous, they are real one-star gravity equipment, each with a net weight of 60 kilograms, and four add up to a total weight of 240 kilograms!
The reason why Qin Yuelou did such a thing was not that he had too much confidence in this year, but that he arrogantly and blindly wanted to carry the burden on his back to participate in the competition. You know, Qin Yuelou is not the only talented teenager in the southwest, and Qin Yuelou never admits that he is a genius!
And the reason why he does such a thing is that he wants to hone himself, because the expansion of star combat power is too fast. Even if there is the absorption of star swordsmanship, it still can't solve the fundamental problem. Qin Yuelou knows that only by improving his physical strength and realm can he keep up with the improvement of star combat power. Speed!
In this way, Qin Yuelou planned to carry the burden like this until he did not encounter a threatening opponent. In this way, you can exercise yourself and get used to such gravity in actual combat. The second is to improve your physical strength. After taking off the gravity equipment, it will have an unexpected effect!
And if you want to achieve such an effect, you can only get it in battle!
Therefore, Qin Yuelou made such a gravity item in order to improve himself!
After the rest of the day, Qin Yuelou spent most of the day getting used to such a load, practicing swords, boxing, and body... And it has to be said that from the beginning, Qin Yuelou has been gradually accustomed to such a load. He believes that it will take a few more days. You can completely adapt your body.
It was not until late evening that Qin Yuelou left the yard, went to the worship hall to find the elder, and told the other party to go out to practice for a period of time.
When the elder heard that Qin Yuelou was going out alone, he could not rest assured. At first, he resolutely disagreed, but he still couldn't resist Qin Yuelou's insistence. Coupled with the increase of the star combat power of Qin Yuelou now, it really needs to be tempered. After thinking about it for a long time, the elder nodded helplessly and agreed. And Qin Yuelou also asked him to keep it a secret for himself. Don't tell his mother, just say that he was closed.
During the growth of Qin Yuelou this year, several elders are obvious to all. Naturally, they patted their chest and abdomen to ensure that there was no problem. They just reminded Qin Yuelou not to forget the family battle and let him come back early. These caring instructions warmed Qin Yuelou's heart.
After solving the matter of leaving, Qin Yuelou relaxed physically and mentally. After dinner, he rarely chatted with his mother Ye Qing for a while, and then returned to his yard. Tonight, Qin Yuelou did not practice the star armor carving. First, he packed up everything and prepared everything. After taking a shower, he walked out of the room.
Qin Yuelou sat on the stone stool in the yard, looked at the lonely sunset in the sky, and was stunned.
After a while, the night approached like a haze and became thicker, as if the darkness rose from all sides at the same time with the night, and even flowed down from a high place. The sunset had been swallowed up by black, and soon, the sky had darkened.
The darkness unfolded the ink velvet, covering the horizon. Countless stars jumped out in an instant, emitting bright light, shining with phosphorus-colored brilliance, woven into beautiful patterns.
Looking at the stars all over the sky, there was no focus in Qin Yuelou's eyes. At this moment, he suddenly felt a burst of fatigue, as if the pressure on his shoulder expanded in an instant, so that he just wanted to have a good sleep at this moment.
I don't know how long it took before Qin Yuelou sighed. He didn't know what he was thinking. He clenched his fist, then let go, and then clenched it... Let go... After a while, he stood up, walked to his room, closed the door, fell into **, and fell asleep.
In this sleep, Qin Yuelou slept soundly. When the first ray of sunlight in the sky poured down from the window and threw it on his eyes, he slowly opened his eyes.
Standing up silently, Qin Yuelou washed his face with water, then put out a broad sword and a bag, changed into a slightly ordinary warrior robe, and strode away from the Qin family's mansion.
** The scorching sun in the sky is not too hot now. Qin Yuelou walked out of the Qin family's mansion, turned a corner, and stopped. After confirming that there was no one around, Qin Yuelou carefully put out the human skin mask from his bag, and then gently covered his face.
And yesterday's cool suction came from the human skin mask. A crisp sound was close to his face. Qin Yuelou touched his face, with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, and walked to the south gate of Tianlong City with a broad sword on his back.
There are four gates in Tianlong City. From the south gate, there is a wide plain. The plain leads to several nearby cities, such as Sangqiu City, Yunzhong City, Moye City, etc. However, the scale of these cities is not large. In the southwest, like Tianlong City, it belongs to secondary cities. After passing through the plain, it is said that there is also a mountain range, which is the largest broken vein in the southwest and western region, the sunset mountains. After the sunset mountains, you can completely reach Kuye City!
Qin Yuelou sorted out his thoughts and took a deep breath. At this time, the south gate of Tianlong City has slowly emerged in his eyes. At this moment, at the south gate, a young man is standing beside a team of bodyguards. This young man is quite handsome, dressed in luxurious clothes, and has a green bamboo flute on his waist and a folding fan. Not only does he not have the smell of frivolity, but he also adds a few romantic and unrestrained sense.
Qin Yuelou looked at it from a long distance. After confirming that the mark on the folding fan in the man's hand belonged to the Situ family, he walked towards the man.
It's still early at this moment, and there are not too many pedestrians, especially business travelers near the city gate. At this moment, there are only a few people. The young man saw Qin Yuelou coming from afar. His eyes lit up. He quickly greeted him and said with a faint smile, "Master Qin?"
Qin Yuelou didn't say anything, but nodded lightly. Although he wore a human skin mask, his calm and resolute temperament could not be extinguished.
The young man did not talk nonsense. After confirming the identity of Qin Yuelou, he took him out of the south gate. When he passed by the south gate, the guards seemed to know the young man and saluted respectfully before letting him go.
