Chapter 275: Changing Masks
Lin Kunlun cleverly dispatched a small force to harass the surrounding counties, with the main goal of seizing the convoys carrying food and fodder. This strategic move led the defenders and soldiers of Daxiguan to mistakenly believe that the rebel forces had revived. After Ye Cheng took away most of the troops, they had no choice but to ask Zhou Kai for help.
After Zhou Kai received the letter of help from Daxiguan, he clearly realized that if the rebels were allowed to gain more fame, more people would join them, and the difficulty of suppressing them in the future would increase significantly. Therefore, he decided to temporarily put aside the plan of collecting food and training soldiers and instead gather troops. This time, he mobilized 6000 elite soldiers, plus the original 2000 troops of Daxiguan, a total of 8000 people, and began to encircle and suppress the southern mountainous area where Lin Kunlun was located.
……
At the same time, Lin Kunlun was in an unusually happy mood. Since he had obtained the bronze tripod and the spirit stone last time, Xiaolu had been controlling the fairy gourd space to absorb spiritual energy. Until today, Xiaolu reported to him a good news: the spiritual energy possessed by Lin Kunlun had been completely absorbed by the space.
Lin Kunlun stepped into the space, and the scene before him amazed him. The space had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the area had expanded more than ten times.
Although the original space was spacious enough, it now seemed stretched to its limits, like a small pond that could not hold more water. Now, the lake in the center of the space had expanded into a vast inland sea, with clear, sparkling water. On the lakeshore, the original few sparse fruit trees had turned into a dense forest, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants blooming and fragrant.
Lin Kunlun strolled along the lake, feeling the rich spiritual energy in the space. The spiritual energy seemed to have life, swirling around him happily, being absorbed into his body and transformed into a constant flow of energy. He knew that this was the space's reward for his long-term hard work.
Lin Kunlun was of course very happy to see such a big change in the space. It seems that if he finds more spiritual things in the future, these spaces will expand.
"Master, you have to work harder! If there is more spiritual energy, a complete ecological system can be formed here! It can also continuously generate spiritual energy on its own! Then the space will slowly grow on its own!" Xiaolu appeared in front of Lin Kunlun at this time, looking at the surroundings and said.
"We can only do this step by step! After all, where can we find so many spiritual things? I have collected a lot of herbs in the past three years, but it is obvious that the spiritual energy of those herbs is just a drop in the bucket!" Lin Kunlun sighed as he looked at the herbs that Xiaolu had planted. Although these herbs can produce some spiritual energy, it is really just a drop in the bucket for the fairy jade gourd that needs to expand its space.
"Master, you can try to find something like the bronze tripod. Many of those ancient objects have a certain spiritual energy! This is the best and fastest way to expand the space of the Fairy Jade Gourd!" Xiaolu was flapping the wings behind him and flying in front.
"That thing is hard to come by! We can only see if we have the opportunity to enter the treasure house of those royal relatives in the future! Those people should have a lot of good things in their homes!" Lin Kunlun felt more and more that his purpose of leading so many people to fight against the officers and soldiers was not pure? It was all for himself to get those treasures.
"By the way! The space has expanded so much this time. Have any treasures been found?" Lin Kunlun suddenly remembered that he had obtained some good things in the previous few expansions of the space.
"I've never seen a master like you! You didn't get many spiritual things, but you're always looking for things in the space?" Xiaolu was nagging a little unhappily at this time.
"Haha, Xiaolu, what you said does make sense." Lin Kunlun smiled and touched his nose, saying awkwardly. He knew that he had been too focused on collecting treasures during this period and neglected the development of the space itself.
"However, the space has expanded so much, there must be new changes, right?" Lin Kunlun changed the subject, his eyes full of expectation. He knew that every expansion of space would bring some unexpected surprises.
Little Green nodded, flew over the lake, pointed to the distance and said, "Master, look there."
Lin Kunlun looked in the direction Xiaolu pointed, and saw a new mountain peak appearing on the lakeshore in the distance. This mountain peak was towering into the clouds, surrounded by clouds and mist, giving people a mysterious feeling.
"This mountain was formed naturally after the expansion of space, and it contains rich spiritual energy." Xiaolu explained, "Also, I found a hidden cave on the mountain, which may contain treasures."
"Oh? Really?" Lin Kunlun's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested. He didn't expect that there would be such a surprise after the space expansion.
"Of course it's true, Master." Xiao Lu said proudly, "But that cave is a bit dangerous, you need to be careful."
"Don't worry, Xiaolu, when have I ever been afraid of danger?" Lin Kunlun laughed, his figure flashed, and he flew towards the mountain.
……
Lin Kunlun landed at the foot of the mountain and looked up. He saw that the entrance to the cave was blocked by dense vines, which made it look very secretive. He carefully pushed aside the vines, revealing a dark cave entrance.
He took a deep breath and walked in without hesitation. The cave was dark and damp, with the sound of dripping water coming from time to time. Lin Kunlun moved forward carefully with his extraordinary eyesight.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the depths of the cave. Suddenly, a spacious stone chamber appeared. In the center of the stone chamber, there was an ancient wooden box, emitting a faint spiritual aura.
Lin Kunlun walked forward and carefully opened the jade box. Inside was a mask! It emitted a soft light, and was obviously a rare treasure.
"Haha, this time I really got a lot!" Lin Kunlun was secretly happy and carefully put the beads away. He knew that things that came out of the space were not simple. And this mask made people feel very mysterious when they put it on.
"Xiaolu, what is this? A mask?" Lin Kunlun asked Xiaolu happily!
"This is a versatile mask! After putting on this mask, you can change your face shape at will! As long as you don't change it back, others won't be able to tell that you are wearing a mask! Of course, when you are not using it, it will return to your original appearance! And this mask can also increase the impression others have, making them feel your majesty in their hearts! It's as if they were born to submit to you! Of course, when you change into different identities, it will reflect different identities and temperaments!"
"Oh? This is such a good treasure!" Lin Kunlun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch the mask. He could feel the faint spiritual energy flowing through the mask, as well as the mysterious power contained in it.
"This mask suits me very well." Lin Kunlun said with a smile. He has been traveling around the world for many years, and changing his identity is a common thing. With this mask, he can change his appearance more freely without worrying about being recognized. At the same time, the mask can also increase his majesty, making him more handy when interacting with others.
"Master, please try it." Xiaolu urged. She also wanted to know how magical this mask was.
Lin Kunlun nodded and gently put the mask on his face. Suddenly, he felt a cool feeling coming from the mask, as if the mask had merged with him. He looked up at Xiaolu, only to see that Xiaolu's eyes were wide open, full of surprise.
"Master, you look so majestic now!" Xiaolu couldn't help but admire. She could feel the powerful aura emanating from Lin Kunlun, as if he was born to be a king.
Lin Kunlun smiled slightly. He knew that this was just the effect of the mask. However, he also enjoyed this feeling. He felt as if he had been reborn, becoming more confident and calm.
He reached out and touched his face, and found that the mask had completely blended into his skin, as if it had become a part of his body. He tried to change the shape of his face, and the mask changed with him, fitting perfectly on his face.
Lin Kunlun tried again. He thought about it and turned himself into a white-haired old man. Just as his idea was conveyed. His body began to change, and his bones made crackling sounds. Not only did wrinkles appear on his face, but his spine also began to slowly bend. His hair also appeared densely packed with white hair. It was as if he had really turned into an ordinary old man who had been working all year round. Lin Kunlun immediately walked out of the cave and came to the side of the pool of water. The reflection in the water clearly showed that Lin Kunlun was now an old man in his sixties. He was sure that even if he stayed with him all day, his closest family members would not recognize him.
"Haha, this mask is really magical!" Lin Kunlun couldn't help laughing. He felt as if he had gained a brand new identity and experience.
Lin Kunlun recovered for a while by the water. He was back to his normal self. He could clearly see the changes in his body. His bent spine was slowly straightening up, his white hair turned black, and the wrinkles on his face disappeared.
"This thing is really a good thing to save your life!" Lin Kunlun is very clear. How dangerous is what he does in this world? Not only do those officers and soldiers want to catch him. I am afraid that some people with second thoughts may betray him one day. In a very dangerous time, if he can use this mask to change his identity, it is conceivable that this is easier to save his life than giving him a magic weapon.
He could imagine himself changing into someone else's identity and going in and out of those places that were strictly controlled by the government. He could even become a big shot in the government and go directly to their mansions to take those spiritual treasures. Of course, this was just a thought. He knew that only with power could he get more spiritual things. So he had to find a way to develop this team as quickly as possible. Let him occupy more territory, so that he could openly take out those treasures saved by corrupt officials and royal relatives.
