You said you would practice martial arts. Have you mastered the Tiangang Dharma?

Chapter 303: Concealing the Secret
"His name is [Bai Mo], and he has been like this since he was born in [Liang Yi Zhao Sheng]. It's not a big deal, and he can already speak. He may be smarter than ordinary people."

[Lingyu] introduced Jiang Qiu to his ordinary disciples, and also specifically introduced some disciples with good talents and strong desire to perform to Jiang Qiu.

After this meeting, the news spread that a new disciple named [Bai Mo] was brought back from [Liang Yi Zhao Sheng] by his master [Ling Yu].

Without Jiang Qiu's knowledge, he was called a handsome young man.

"Elder [Suzuru], why are everyone wearing masks?"

On the way to the separate residence, Jiang Qiu retracted his gaze and asked again out of curiosity.

He didn't see anything special about this mask. After all, he could see through a person's cultivation level at a glance - at least that was the case with the people he had met so far.

In other words, the mask does not have the effect of concealing one's cultivation.

But now everyone we see is wearing a mask, which would be strange if the mask didn’t have any unique function.

"A mask?" [Surf Fish] tapped her face with her pink nails, dong dong. "Everyone wears one when they grow up. It not only hides the true face, but also hides the mind. Once you wear this kind of mask, it is difficult for people to see into your heart."

When facing the enemy, you can defend against some special secret attack methods, and sometimes you can even intimidate practitioners from foreign lands.

Some people cannot guess what is hidden under the mask, so they will be cautious. "

"Do I have to wear it too?"

Jiang Qiu frowned, still not quite understanding why he had to wear a mask.

"Of course you have to wear it. If you want to be able to practice martial arts with me smoothly in the future, you have to choose a mask you like today and put it on, and never take it off." [Lingyu] explained tirelessly, his voice friendly: "In fact, many babies have already started wearing it. Even if you walk in Sunset City, you won't see their faces."

"Um"

Thinking of the scene of masked people walking through the streets all over the city, Jiang Qiu nodded and the corners of his mouth twitched.

The two of them talked about a lot of things in a question-and-answer format.

As the gate of a palace opened, a wisp of cool air surged out, as if he had suddenly entered an ice cellar. Jiang Qiu squinted his eyes and looked up. The wide walkway led to a pool of water, and it was silent.

"This is where I practice, Lingyu Palace. You will live here from now on, and practice with me here. If you need to contact me for anything, you can call me through your thoughts."

As he spoke, [Lingyu] stretched out his slender right index finger and gently tapped Jiang Qiu's forehead. It seemed that a ray of purple-black light accompanied by thoughts penetrated into his mind.

It was as if a spider thread was pulled out and connected to Jiang Qiu's consciousness. As long as he was willing to "move", he could convey the information directly to the other party.

"This is called the Yin Network. I have taught you how to use it. In the future, if you meet someone you want to establish a connection with, you can use the Yin Network with the other party's permission."

This time, the sound did not come from [Lingyu]'s mask, but popped out directly in Jiang Qiu's mind, and seemed to be accompanied by a "hum hum hum" tune.

It's a bit like a voice call from Blue Star.

In fact, the functions of [Yinwang] are also quite extensive. It seems to have a video connection function, which can send one's own field of view, as well as the function of distinguishing notes between relationships and dividing collective contact areas.

You can also directly apply to join the Hundred Ghosts Sect's "group chat", and the [Yinwang] information of each elder is also there, but generally speaking, it is better not to alarm others.

Well, it's the feeling of the Blue Star social software connecting the brain. "Okay, come with me to choose a mask first."

After he finished speaking, [Lingyu] led Jiang Qiu towards the depths of the palace. When passing by the pool, Jiang Qiu looked into the water. There was no reflection in it, only a layer of negative energy flowing.

The palace was quite spacious, and there were several servants wearing masks cleaning inside. When we walked to the mask warehouse, there was a maid named [Xue] who led the way and accompanied us inside.

The maid was not tall, probably about ten years old, with her head not even reaching her chest. She walked in an orderly manner, but her voice was a little low.

After taking a glance at her, Jiang Qiu was reluctant to look away. He seemed to sense a familiar aura, but it seemed a little different, and very different from the figure in his memory.

"Can you take off your mask?"

As soon as he said this, [Lingyu] stopped and turned around. The maid also turned around and looked at him, her pure eyes looking into his through the green mask with white flowers.

After a brief silence, the maid looked at [Lingyu], the holes in her eyes glowing with light: "Master, should I take off my mask?"

Jiang Qiu was stunned. It was just taking off a mask, not murder. Did he need to ask for permission?

“No need.” [Lingyu] placed her hand on the maid’s shoulder to comfort her. She sighed softly and looked at Jiang Qiu with a caressing gaze: “[Bai Mo], don’t let others take off your mask at will in the future. Once you put on this mask, you can’t take it off. Otherwise, your true identity will be revealed and your life will be shortened.”

"Loss of longevity?"

Jiang Qiu frowned deeply, feeling that there seemed to be some special rules, or omissions, in this world.

Why does not wearing a mask shorten your life?

“Well, every life created by Liang Yi is incomplete in its true form, so we are born in the Yin Realm. The incompleteness of our true form will cause our lifespan to pass away faster. Only by wearing a mask and deceiving the heavens can we maintain a normal lifespan.

This is why all of us cultivators want to enter the Yang Realm. It is said that as long as we go to the Yang Realm, we can complete our true nature and inherit the infinite lifespan of the Two Principles.

So, you must never tell others to take off the mask again. Taking off the mask almost means your death is approaching.

Asking others to take off their masks is tantamount to declaring war.”

After saying this earnestly, [Lingyu] took Jiang Qiu and the maid and continued to walk into the mask storeroom.

"Taking off the mask is equivalent to declaring war, because the mask is the key to concealing the secrets and maintaining life. If it is just a mask, it should be easy for a strong person to take it off, right?"

Jiang Qiu asked another question.

Although the mask is a very close-fitting item, it is actually not that difficult to break through during a fight. For example, a single claw strike could crack the face.

If you take off the mask you will die. How well does the mask have to fit your body?
Or does this mask require some special means to ensure protection?
"It's not that easy," [Shuyu] chuckled, "Try it out."

She bent down and grabbed Jiang Qiu's right hand, slowly pressing it on her mask. Her five fingers sank slightly, as if she was touching a real face. Although it was a little cold, it seemed as if it was only a layer of skin away from the boiling hot blood.

At that moment, Jiang Qiu's pupils froze.

The mask is the face?!
