Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 655. Arrival in Xinzheng (IV)

However, people's preferences vary.

Some people like cats.

Some people don't like cats.

Therefore, the faceless men who turn into cats and dogs cannot do whatever they want, nor does it mean that the entire palace has become their home. Rather, it means that it is much easier for them to collect intelligence than when they are in human form, and the content they collect is more explosive.

There is a difference between being omnipresent and being pervasive.

Of course, I have to mention here that in this era, cats were not called cats, but had a more bizarre name, called Li Nu. There were not as many varieties as in later generations, and there was no distinction between levels. In the palace, they were generally distinguished by pure colors and mixed colors. Pure colors were particularly popular, but mixed colors were not bad either.

For mixed-color cats, the main thing to look at is the distribution of the spots.

The most typical one is Sanhua.

In terms of appearance, it can even crush solid-colored cats.

So, it’s not that multicolored ones are necessarily ugly, it’s just that the positions of most of the multicolored ones are not right, and they don’t look as pleasing to the eye as pure colors.

Moreover, the rules for these cats to be adopted are quite strange.

It depends on your appearance!
That’s right, it depends on your appearance!

It has nothing to do with whether one's bloodline is noble or not.

At most it has something to do with appearance.

After all, humans are visual animals. When we see good-looking creatures, we will subconsciously pay more attention to them. Cats are naturally a kind of creature.

Besides, there are some people who don't like small animals.

But I like flowers and plants.

In this regard, a few faceless men who are ruthless enough to be cruel to themselves and want to earn merit and buy themselves a good carrier will even turn themselves into a plant by devouring flowers and plants. Unfortunately, the end of these few faceless men is often not very good, because the survival difficulty of flowers and plants is much higher than that of small animals, and their ability to resist attacks is much lower than that of small animals. If they are not watered or exposed to the sun for one day, they will wilt the next day. Moreover, the plants themselves cannot move, unlike small animals that can go to the shade to escape the heat when they are hot in the sun. If flowers and plants are left in the sun and no one takes care of them, they can only hold on and wait for others to take care of them.

With a death rate as high as six out of seven.

The other faceless men didn't dare to try.

what?
Why six-sevenths, you ask?

That's because only seven faceless men have ever tried.

The first, second, and third were all dead.

The fourth one survived by a lingering breath.

And that in turn inspired other people.

But after the fifth, sixth and seventh faceless men who were used for the experiment died, this option was directly removed by most of the faceless men. Even if there were new ones, because Ye Qingcang was getting stronger and stronger and his business was getting bigger and bigger, the mother nest also kept pace with the times and created more faceless men, from the dozens of people created at the beginning, to the hundreds of people who eroded the intelligence personnel of all parties in Tiandou City, to the thousands of people who extended their tentacles outward to erode the Tiandou Empire, and after the two worlds were opened, the tens of thousands of people in the Star Luo Empire of the Dou Er Galaxy, Dou San Galaxy and Dou Yi Galaxy, and then to the erosion of Luowang. When added together, there were 200,000 to 300,000 faceless men. Therefore, new faceless men also appeared and penetrated into the various worlds that Ye Qingcang came into contact with, and naturally came into contact with many old seniors. Therefore, in most cases, they could get the advice of the old seniors.

After all, when it comes down to it.

As long as it's not an attack on the soul.

The Faceless Man himself cannot be hurt.

Moreover, even if they are injured or even their souls are killed, they will automatically activate hidden means, commonly known as backups, so that any Faceless Man will not be afraid of death and can be reborn in the Mother Nest.

However, backup was what Ye Qingcang and others said.

Use the name used by the Faceless People to describe it.

This method is called soul division.

When the Mother Nest nurtures each Faceless Man, it will cut off a piece of the Faceless Man's soul and preserve it after obtaining the Faceless Man's permission. If the Faceless Man does not want the Mother Nest to do it, but wants to do the job himself, the Mother Nest will also leave a certain amount of space for the Faceless Man to store the severed soul.

This kind of cutting is different from the cutting that Seagod Tang San did to Xiao Qi. The cutting that Seagod Tang San did to Xiao Qi was external force destruction, while this kind of cutting gives the choice to the Faceless Man himself.

The former is like performing surgery.

The latter is like drawing blood.

Moreover, the former's cutting is entirely from the perspective of maximizing personal interests, while the latter's cutting has the advantage of being able to be resurrected after death.

It is uncertain whether the memory of this mission can be retained.

Because the original body was destroyed.

But the memory at the time of backup can exist.

As Violet once described, it is like a collar and a rope. No matter where the puppy runs to, no matter what happens to the puppy, the collar can be brought back through this rope. This collar refers to the origin related to the soul.

Therefore, the Faceless Man is not afraid of death.

They even developed a topic on how to die more handsomely.

There are quite a few faceless people who have signed up to study.

Therefore, when faced with this group of special beings that are omnipresent and fearless of death, there is no overly clear way to make them feel fear.

However, there are also disadvantages.

At least that's what Ye Qingcang expected.

There is more than one way to restrain these faceless men.

It can even be said that there is more than one way to identify these faceless men.

Put it in the context of the world of immortal cultivation system.

Or in a fantasy setting similar to Doupo.

Those cultivators or warriors who come from big families, in short, are extraordinary people, often have a drop of blood or a wisp of soul stored in a jade token, which is then placed in the clan. If the person dies accidentally, or the jade token is broken, or any other reaction occurs, it is impossible for the Faceless Man to replace the original owner and sneak in. Even if he really sneaks in, it is just a fishing expedition by the clan to lure out Ye Qingcang behind the Faceless Man. At that time, the identities of the hunter and the hunted are exchanged.

Therefore, although the Faceless Man seems very powerful, he can only show off his power in the context of Douluo and Qin Shi, who have no targeted means. If he is placed in the context of those extraordinary people with complete means, all of them will be dug out, and there is a possibility that they will be traced back and the location of the mother nest will be exposed.

Fortunately, Ye Qingcang had expected this.

I didn't think the Faceless Man was too perfect.

So as not to underestimate the enemy in the future.

It takes a big knife to kill a chicken. The Faceless Man is more than capable of dealing with the two systems mentioned above, and eroding the Korean royal palace is naturally no problem.

However, what should be said and what should not be said.

What to listen to and what not to listen to.

These faceless men are still clear.

Honglian and Jingwei were whispering here, and there were no faceless men around.

This is also the respect that Ye Qingcang gives to Honglian.

Everyone has privacy.

Absolute control can indeed bring a moment of peace of mind to a person with a weak sense of security, but human nature is greedy, and the same is true for a sense of security. When a little bit of security is obtained, people will inevitably demand more until they have complete control over the person. Then, they become suspicious, thinking that the control is not enough, that the other person is hiding something, and they suspect that the other person is not loyal to them, which in turn causes the peace of mind that has been obtained through this method to completely collapse. In addition, if a person's sense of security needs to be given by other people, it only means that this person has lost his personality. A person who has lost his personality is like a puppet and can be easily manipulated by the other party who gives him a sense of security. This is undoubtedly a betrayal and denial of the self.

So, I don’t know whether Honglian is asleep or not at this moment.

Ye Qingcang didn't know.

Ye Qingcang didn't know whether Jingwei was asleep or not, let alone the conversation between the two.

I can't hear it at all.

But luckily he couldn't hear it.

It avoids the risk of having the Red Lotus Demonic Sound piercing your brain.

However, Jingwei, who was lying next to Honglian in the bedroom at the moment, was not so lucky. He could only listen quietly to Honglian's thoughts, and then make some bold suggestions from time to time.

For example, the question Honglian just asked.

What can I do to keep Ye Qingcang's heart?

Jingwei’s answer was: “Just give him a child…”

All I can say is that Jingwei understands men very well.

But I don’t know how to chat.

It only took one sentence to choke Honglian, a virgin.

After all, although there are professional maids in the palace who teach this knowledge, these professional maids usually only teach when the princess gets married.

However, Honglian is the second type of princess.

It's also extremely rare.

Because before the second type, there was a first type.

The first type of princess is not a human.

But the goods.

Goods used to win over ministers or allies.

This type of princess has been learning the art of seduction since birth. In order to keep a man's heart, she will do anything, even at the cost of destroying her body and shortening her life, to make herself beautiful. She pays attention to her appearance and shape, so that when she is an adult or not, she will be betrothed to certain people by her father or elder brother who is the emperor. Until her death, she accepts the belief that she will give everything for the prosperity of the royal family, including but not limited to her future children.

Therefore, Honglian’s favor is not just talk.

But it's real.

Don't think that the sword skills she learned are just fancy ones.

But you have to know that King Han can pick out the one with the best swordsmanship from the palace guards, and allow this person to teach Honglian to learn swordsmanship. Honglian does not need to diet or stop practicing martial arts in order to maintain her elegance and figure. After all, people who practice martial arts all the year round will inevitably have muscles. From the perspective of a modern time traveler like Ye Qingcang, it looks very good, healthy and beautiful. But in this era, under the mainstream humanistic background of elegance, this permission itself means that King Han chose to let Honglian grow up happily and kicked Honglian out of the sequence of marriage from the very beginning. In the future, if there are no accidents, no matter who Honglian marries, as long as she can live happily, it will be fine.

This condition seems common in ordinary people's homes.

Placed in the royal family.

It is a great grace.

In addition, although this era was not as conservative as after the Song Dynasty, women could still show their faces in public and even do business. Widow Qing, a wealthy supporter of Qin Shihuang Yingzheng in his later years, was the best example. However, it was rare to find someone as wild as Honglian.

Whose princess goes out to play every day?
It was even said that Han Fei took him to the black market.

It’s okay to go to the black market.

She was even taken by Han Fei to a romantic place like Zi Lan Xuan.

Moreover, Han Wangan’s attitude is also very interesting.

He did not get angry or punish Han Fei because his ninth son took his precious daughter Honglian to Zilanxuan, a place with a bad reputation but safe enough. Instead, he was angry because Han Fei took Honglian to such a dangerous place as the underground black market.

This shows that Han Wangan put safety before his reputation.

Just this.

This made countless princesses during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period envious to death.

So, regarding marriage.

Honglian didn't know much.

Her understanding of this aspect is still limited to the idea that a man and a woman can have a child by sleeping in bed, or, of course, hugging each other. It can be said that this is quite naive.

Jingwei is very familiar with these contents.

As a killer.

She was taught this knowledge at a young age.

It's just not practiced.

In the words of the female killer instructor who taught her this knowledge, from a woman's perspective, for a man, the sharpest weapon is never martial arts, nor the sword in his hand, but his figure, appearance, and a heart that seems loyal but is actually cold, because these things can remove a man's defenses to the greatest extent, just like a pitiful appearance plus the proof of blood can make most men accept you instantly.

However, the latter can only be used once.

Because the technology to fix it is not yet available in this era.

It should only be used on the highest-value targets.

In the original novel, Jingwei used this trick on Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling. Then, he was moved and decided to withdraw from Luowang and raise Tian Yan alone, which led to what happened afterwards.

Therefore, if we have to say something, Jingwei is just a big talker, a Zhao Kuo who is good at talking but not doing anything on paper. Although it is definitely enough to fool Honglian, in fact, it is not only Jingwei, but also Zinu, Nongyu and others, who are all good at talking but not doing anything on paper.

The difference is that Zi Nu was able to maintain her virginity by relying on her skills.

The reason why Nanyue was able to remain a virgin was because of Zinu's protection and care for her. As everyone knows, the rule of selling art but not selling one's body is just for show. Whether it is true or not depends on what Zinu does.

However, although Honglian was a virgin, she was very receptive. After a moment's pause, she chattered on about another topic: "Sister Jingwei, do you think there would be a lot of girls who like him out there? Would he dislike someone like me?"

"A man like him will never be short of women."

"Refer to your brother Han Fei."

"Even if we don't talk about your brother, let's talk about the most inconspicuous young master Zhang. I remember his name was Zhang Liang. Just look at how popular he is in Zi Lan Xuan, and you can imagine how popular Ye Qingcang will be."

"As for you, I can't say."

"I don't know what he likes."

"Maybe I just like you."

"Maybe I just don't like you."

"The only way for you to know this is to wait until he comes back and ask him directly. The answer you get will be the most accurate!"

Jingwei killed the topic decisively.

then.

After a moment of silence.

Honglian once again raised a strange question.

Until she said that she was sleepy.

The night passed quietly in this process.
