Chapter 674 Excellent acting skills
"To think there's such a person," Xuan Yunzi was stunned. "How could such a ruthless person exist in the Prison Mountain Realm? Moreover, he was able to kill Xie Chong with a sword. He must be an expert among experts... Why would such an expert do such a thing?"
"Who knows? Maybe they're just completely insane," Snow Owl said nonchalantly. "What's the difference between those bandits and demons? They killed and abused people for their own selfish desires... I'm not surprised that people like them, once they gain power, would choose to become the demons' lackeys and accomplices."
Lin Yu nodded.
"The motive isn't important, but knowing the existence of such a guy isn't necessarily a bad thing," Lin Yu exhaled. "At least we have a new clue - since there's an accomplice, let's start investigating him first."
"I really don't know the identity of that accomplice. I know very little about him..."
Xuan Yunzi said helplessly.
"But I have a clue. The man who asked Jinfu Escort to escort Xie Chong's body is a wealthy man from Xian Town. He's short and has a mole on his left cheek. Although it might be a fake identity, if we follow this clue, we'll definitely get something."
Lin Yu said this and Xuan Yunzi nodded.
"Xian Town? That town isn't too far from here," he said, pulling out a few talismans from his pocket. "I have a few magical talismans here that you knights can use to travel. With these talismans, you can go back and forth in half a day."
"Master, won't you come with us?"
Seagull asked curiously.
"I can't leave here," Xuan Yunzi shook his head. "My five Taoist temples are the key to restraining the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord. If I leave the vicinity, the temples will lose their suppressive power, and their control over the Twin Saw Mountains and the surrounding area will be further strengthened."
"So... I can only trouble you knights."
Lin Yu nodded, and quickly stepped forward to take the magic talismans and stuffed them into his arms: "It's a small matter, but Taoist priest, I have one more thing to ask - where is the remains of Xie Chong in your hands?"
Xuan Yunzi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "My friend, you are truly amazing. How did you guess that I still have the remains of Master Xie Chong in my hands?"
"I can confirm in some way that there must be some of Xie Chong's remains on the nearby hilltops," Lin Yu said calmly. After all, the Little Fire Dragon trio and the Snow Owl trio both entered the [dungeon] nearby, and their quests were all related to "Liu Town", so it is very likely that "Xie Chong's remains" or similar [props] still exist here. "Since there are none in the nearby mountain villages, then it can only be in Senior Xuan Yunzi's Taoist temple."
Xuan Yunzi sighed: "Yes, it is in my Taoist temple."
The old Taoist turned around and took out a box from under the altar. After opening the box, he found a gray left thigh inside.
The texture and feel of this left leg are similar to those of the body that Lin Yu is carrying. The cut is also flat and smooth, and can be spliced together.
However, the left leg was covered with yellow paper talismans, which seemed to be suppressing the aura of the left leg.
"Although the knights and friends are not villains, but patriots whom I trust, the remains of Xie Chong are of great importance," Xuan Yunzi said hesitantly, "so I initially hid the remains of Xie Chong... After all, if I could only get two out of five, it would be too dangerous."
"Even if you guys aren't villains, if you're targeted..."
Xuan Yunzi was speaking in a low voice when Lin Yu interrupted him.
"Of course this is risky... but we have to take it now," Lin Yu said sternly. "Senior Xuan Yunzi, you and I both know that the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord is growing stronger day by day. He even dares to release his spider silk. Given enough time, can you really suppress him?"
"What's more, now we know that he has an accomplice outside," Lin Yu said solemnly, "If we don't do anything, don't take some extraordinary measures, what's the difference between watching this demon reappear step by step?"
"Leave Xie Chong's remains to me. Perhaps that will lure out the mysterious man who has been secretly arranging things!"
As Lin Yu spoke, Xuan Yunzi hesitated for a moment and then slowly nodded.
"My friend, you are right. Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to take a risk!"
As he spoke, Xuan Yunzi slowly peeled off the talisman on top.
moment……
The same aura as the remains behind Lin Yu emerged, and the vigorous blood and energy between the two combined together, producing an effect of one plus one being greater than two!
"boom--!"
The left leg flew out of Xuan Yunzi's hand, and then instantly returned to the broken body behind Lin Yu, and was instantly put back together.
Xuan Yunzi watched this scene in astonishment, nervousness, and worry: "Sure enough, once the seal is lost, at this distance... Mr. Xie Chong's body will automatically return to one!"
"This aura will surely attract the attention of the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord. If you're going to Xian Town, go quickly."
But Lin Yu shook his head calmly.
"No hurry, Taoist priest, wait a moment."
Lin Yu turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the Taoist temple.
really……
The next moment, outside the Taoist temple, a figure walked out from behind the door.
At the same time, a leisurely voice sounded.
"Sure enough, Xie Chong's body is among them."
Lin Yu looked at him and smiled without surprise: "Hello, dear Brother Chen Yuanye."
"Hello to you too, my dear junior sister."
The figure of the visitor emerged from the shadows, revealing Chen Yuanye's bearded face.
"I can't believe you saw through my disguise so easily," Chen Yuanye whispered. "When did you realize I wasn't Chen Yuanye?"
"Let's start with this," Lin Yu tilted his head and said, "You said you were trapped there for a whole year. Although your clothes and armor were tattered and your hair and beard were untidy, that place didn't look like a dark and damp underground where a person could live for a whole year."
"Where are the traces of your daily life, such as eating, drinking, defecating and urinating?" Lin Yu sighed. "Although your acting is great, just looking at your acting, I almost thought you were Chen Yuanye..."
When Lin Yu said this, he couldn't help but admire the other party from the bottom of his heart - this was the guy with the best acting skills Lin Yu had ever seen. Every word, every reaction, and every expression of true feelings were so real that it didn't seem like acting at all.
This acting skill was even better than most of his impromptu performances - there were indeed countless geniuses in the ten realms, and even in the field he was best at, there were still people who could rival him.
It's just a pity...
"But the costumes, makeup, props, and scenery design all scored zero, my friend... You said a week or two would be fine, why do you have to insist on a year?"
Lin Yu said with some regret.
"Chen Yuanye" shrugged nonchalantly: "There's nothing we can do, because the real 'Chen Yuanye' disappeared a year ago."
When Lin Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand... So the person who talked to me underground and moved with me all the way was the real Chen Yuanye, not an 'act'!"
"Of course," said Chen Yuanye proudly, "A genuine article is easier to fool than a fake one. All we need to do is create a year's worth of 'past' in his memory and then release the real one."
Lin Yu couldn't help feeling disappointed when he heard this.
"Well... I thought it was a rare performance talent!"
