Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 89: Bone-shaping and skin-painting? The art of transformation!
Walking out of the house with the plaque of Sichengjiaohang and looking at the sun above his head, Wang Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"Born from the human body magnetic field that reverses all directions, a disciple of the Ghost Hand King, he has learned the third level of reverse life from the Sanyi Sect, and now he is learning skills from Liu Jingcha, the face-man of the Quanxing Sect... What a mess, Wu Gensheng, you'd better come out and become the acting head of Quanxing Sect. If you keep playing like this, it will be no fun if I become the acting head of Quanxing Sect."

Wang Yi joked there, and then followed the servant of his own house to the office of Sichengjiao Bank in the capital city, so that some people in the capital city could get to know him as the young master of Sichengjiao Bank.

In the days that followed, Wang Yi's life was temporarily quiet.

After all, a tall building is built from the ground up. If you want to gain a foothold and layout in the capital, you must have at least some foundation to build on.

The Four Cities Delivery Company that Qin Erye and several old friends had instigated was a good business. From Wang Yi's perspective, it was nothing more than a company that specialized in running errands within the four cities of Beijing, with some logistics services.

It will neither compete with rickshaw dealers for business, nor have any business conflicts with Yanwutang.

Occasionally, Yanwutang would outsource some of the cargo transportation business in the capital to them, and they got along well with each other.

As for the treatment, well, to be honest, in this world, as long as you can provide food and lodging to the workers and not deduct their wages, you can be considered a great philanthropist who can make people offer you a longevity tablet at home.

In this regard, Wang Yi doesn't need Mr. Qin to teach him anything. He understands it all by himself. He just needs to be a good person.

And because of the means Wang Yi had demonstrated before, Chief Zhu, who was in charge of the public security of a district, and Mr. Lan, a nobleman from the capital, also gave Wang Yi some face and made special arrangements for him. No one in the white world would make things difficult for him, and they just had to pay some tribute money according to the rules.

But when it comes to how to behave in society and deal with all kinds of people in the capital, Wang Yi has to learn and figure it out on his own, and Master Qin can only give him guidance.

The only surprise was that he met the Japanese man named Ichiro Nemoto who was behind Zhu Qianlong.

Just as Wang Yi thought, he was also an extraordinary person, belonging to a family called Yagyu in Japan. His identity was similar to Wang Yi's in Sanyi Sect, the eldest senior brother of the outer sect.

What level is this bastard? Does he also have the title of outer sect senior brother like me?
Unfortunately, no matter how unhappy Wang Yi was, he couldn't take action against Nemoto Ichiro because this guy had too many identities.

What Japanese Confucian scholars, what kendo masters, the most terrible ones are the embassy members in Dongjiaomin Lane, whose status is not low and they have close ties with the Japanese military.

The bastard seems to be living a pretty comfortable life, no wonder Zhu Qianlong is happy to be ordered around by you.

Although this person intended to win over Wang Yi, he revealed openly and secretly that as long as he became an ally of their empire, what Zhu Qianlong could get, Wang Yi would at least double it. After all, the strength was there, and Wang Yi was not bragging, but looking at the entire capital, there might be one or two who could beat him in terms of means, but in terms of potential.

They have reached their limit, but Wang Yi's cultivation is improving day by day. Now he can still defeat one or two of his opponents with one or two moves. After a while, he will be invincible in the capital.

But for this kind of thing, Wang Yi could only say that he and Ichiro Nemoto exchanged views and retained their respective opinions, and then both sides left in an orderly manner.

In addition to Mr. Lan, Zhu Qianlong and Ichiro Nemoto, Wang Yi also had to socialize with other people on the surface, but most of the time he kept things simple and told everyone in the capital that I, Wang Yi, just wanted to stay in this small piece of land, make some money, and have a place to practice.

Secretly, he was also learning the technique of bone shaping and skin painting from Liu, the dough man.
-
"My method is simple and difficult at the same time. It's simple because as long as your true Qi can flow freely in the opponent's body and limbs, you can decide how to shape the opponent. It's difficult because no one dares to let someone else's true Qi mess around in their body. That means their life depends on the other person's thoughts. It's okay for ordinary people, but for practitioners like you and me..."

Inside the house, Liu the dough man was talking about the pros and cons of his own method.

Needless to say, the advantages are that one person can be completely transformed into another person, except for memory and temperament. Everything else can be changed. However, when teaching Wang Yi the method, as I said just now, Wang Yi needs to completely relax his mind and let Liu the Face Man's true qi travel through his body. Except for the heirs and close relatives, who dares to do this? Those who entrust Liu the Face Man to do things also have one or two good hands watching beside them to prevent Liu the Face Man from doing anything.

As for the disadvantages, they are also obvious, because this method can only be used one-on-one, two or three targets are fine, and it won't waste too much time. But if it is used on more than a dozen people at the same time, then the consumption of true energy is unknown. According to Liu the face man himself, even if he succeeds, he will still be lying on the ground and lose half his life.

Secondly, this method can only be maintained for one month. If he wants to continue disguising himself after one month, he can continue to strengthen it, but he can only do it twice. If this time is exceeded, just like the name of this method, it is like pinching bones and painting skin. Except for the memory, he will become another person and can never change back.

By then, you will really become smaller and won't grow taller; you will become bigger and lose your flavor; you will become a transvestite that is neither male nor female; everything will change, but your self-perception will not change.

Just thinking about that scene makes me sick. No wonder everyone wanted to kill Liu the Dough Man after he entered Quanxing. I guess there have been many failed cases before. Can these victims or their families still let Liu the Dough Man go?
But no matter what I think, since Wang Yi offered tea, I have to learn this technique.

"In that case, let me experience it first, Master Liu."

Wang Yi was straightforward. He stretched out his hand and asked Liu, the dough maker, to give him a trial card.

"Are you not afraid that I might do something?"

"Don't worry, I can definitely kill you before you do anything, because my life cultivation is higher than yours, and I have the triple guarantee of reverse life, so I can also repair myself if something goes wrong."

Wang Yi's straightforward and unconcealed words made the dough maker Liu smile, but he still did it.

Then Wang Yi saw his right hand sometimes turn into a woman's slender little hand, sometimes turn into a child's young hand, and sometimes turn into a wrinkled and skinny hand covered with age spots. Wang Yi also calmed down and felt the true Qi belonging to Liu the Dough Man transforming his right hand in all aspects, and finally restored it to its original state. This wonderful feeling of personal experience also made Wang Yi understand the strategic significance of Liu the Dough Man's method of shaping bones and painting skin in the subsequent war of resistance. It was so useful!
"Now you know how unique my method is. Although we are hated by everyone in Quanxing, those famous and upright sects will not treat us well. But we are a sect fighting against all the famous and upright sects. The personnel are of mixed quality, but in terms of the sophistication of our methods, we are not inferior to those sects that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years. Boy, you have..."

The smug expression of Liu the Face Man came to an abrupt end, because he had seen Wang Yi raise his right hand and begin to reconstruct his right hand according to the route of the true Qi that Liu the Face Man had previously let flow in his right hand.

As the face man Liu looked dumbfounded, Wang Yi's right hand was no longer limited to men, women, young and old, and began to change in an inhuman direction.

Sometimes a layer of webbed flesh grows between the five fingers, sometimes a thick layer of hair grows to cover them, sharp claws appear between the five fingers, and sometimes they are covered with scales, like the scaly claws in ghost stories, with quite a bit of the style of the art of creating animals.

The art of creating animals is mostly spread among human trafficking gangs that kidnap children, called "Paihuazi" at that time; and also in some drama troupes.

They often use peeled and refined dog or sheep skins to cover the abducted children, making their skin and limbs fit the skin and limbs of these animals, and then use spells to help them turn the children into dogs and sheep in their hands.

As for the beautiful snakes in the opera troupe, some are sleight of hand, mainly using visual deception, while others are created by the art of creating animals, where a woman is tightly fitted with snake skin to create a beautiful snake in people's eyes.

But these are usually just sleight of hand, because the big snakes that can carry an adult are mostly monsters with some magical powers, and these theater troupes do not have the strength to deal with such beasts.

Even Liu the Dough Man did not expect that Wang Yi only needed to remember the route of his true Qi flowing in his body, and he would be able to draw inferences from it and bring some of the style of the art of creating animals to his own method of shaping bones and painting skins.

It has some of the charm of the Monkey King in Journey to the West who performs 72 transformations.

"How...how did you do that?"

"I don't know. I just thought I remembered it, so I tried to run it. After running it, I thought, since this method can completely change a person into another person, if it can change people, then it can also change some animals, right? So I tried it on the dog and bear that I am familiar with."

"Then what's with your unicorn arm? Have you really seen a mythical beast like a unicorn? ! "

Liu the dough man felt like he was going to collapse. The first part was fine, after all, he might have fallen into the barrier of knowledge and did not think that his method of shaping bones and painting skins was similar to the art of creating animals. But the art of creating animals at least created species that can be seen in the world. It was just that he did not think about it in this way. But you even created the unicorn arm later!
Wang Yi had no way of explaining this to him. He couldn't say that he had never seen a living Qilin, but modern film and television works had portrayed all kinds of strange beasts that only existed in picture books and novels, coupled with the lifelike special effects technology. In this world, anyone who saw them would think that such strange beasts really existed in the world, and he was just copying according to the memory in his head.

"You are really ignorant and fearless, kid! Can you just try this casually? The human body is very complicated. If you are not careful, your hand will be useless!"

"So I only tried one hand. How could I possibly try it on my whole body? I'm not an idiot."

"You can try it with just one hand! Do you know what it means to be useless?"

"But I have the third level of reverse life."

"You! Me! Aa ...

The face-man Liu was so stunned by Wang Yi's blunt words that he could hardly speak clearly. The third level of Rebirth Against the Current was just the reconnection of severed limbs, and he had never seen any disciple of the Sanyi Sect who could perform the regeneration of severed limbs at the second level of the third level of Rebirth Against the Current. Wait, it seems that there is someone, Zuo Rutong, the leader of the Sanyi Sect. You were taught this by Zuo Rutong himself, then there's nothing to worry about.

He finally understood why the Ghost Hand King was able to remain fine despite the conflict with Zuo Rutong, the Daying Immortal, in the territory of the Sanyi Sect. Meeting such a genius, even if he was the Ghost Hand King's apprentice, Zuo Rutong had to love the Ghost Hand King and spare him this time.

At such a young age, his cultivation level in the third level of Rebirth Against the Origin is already close to that of the Great Ying Immortal Zuo Rutong. He dare not even imagine what level he can reach in the future!
"In short, I know you have a high talent, but this kind of practice that is closely related to the human body cannot tolerate you messing around! Also, don't think that even if you learn it this way, even if you really master my method, you can't escape one fundamental principle, that is, no matter how much you can change, you can't become an existence beyond yourself. It's like a person can become another person, male or female, old or young, tall or short, fat or thin, it's nothing more than a change in the acquired true qi in the body.

Even if you can turn into a dog, a pig, or a bear, there is a limit! If you turn into the Liu Family Immortals in the Northeast, can you also change your body to be as huge as them? Your true Qi is not enough! If you change rashly, you will only die without a complete body!"

"Then according to what you said, the ever-changing forms of those legendary masters with great spiritual powers are either because they have transformed the true Qi in their bodies from acquired to innate, so it is inexhaustible, or they have taken another path and used a vast amount of true Qi to transform themselves into parts that exceed their own limits, just like they have built a huge shell for themselves?"

"How would I know that?"

After being asked this question by Wang Yi, the face-man Liu was speechless. If I knew all this, why would I join the Quanxing Sect? I would have long been the founder of a sect and would have discussed Taoism with Longhu Mountain and Sanyi Sect. How could I be wronged by you?

Seeing that Wang Yixue had mastered the art in less than a month and had begun to develop derivative techniques, the dough maker Liu was both happy and frustrated.

He was naturally happy that his skills had been passed down to a successor; but this successor seemed too powerful. In less than a month, he was already preparing to rebel against Tiangang and teach him. This incident made him once again understand the Ghost Hand King's feelings at that time.

Helpless, the dough maker Liu had to return to his room, close the door and take a good sleep, preparing to adjust his mood.

Only Wang Yi was left in the yard, and he began to figure out the technique of bone-shaping and skin-painting.
