And apart from these "talents", she is indeed no different from ordinary monks.

Meng Zhou was thinking this in his heart, but he said: "Can you let me see it?"

Bai Zhi sighed in her heart, although this was against her habit, exposing her deepest secret to the other party was not what she wanted.

But now that she has made up her mind to show her true colors, she is mentally prepared not to hold anything back.

"good."

After a gentle response, I saw strands of mana condensing on Bai Zhi's right hand, forming a mana paintbrush.

Then, holding the brush in her hand, she painted in the void.

Mana flowed from the tip of the pen and solidified in the void.

As the paintbrush in her hand moved in the air, the image of an old woman with pale face and white hair appeared.

And when she drew the last stroke, the solidified magic strokes began to flow.

The paintbrush in Bai Zhi's hand had disappeared. She reached out and touched the eyebrows of the old woman in the painting. The empty portrait quickly shrank and disappeared into Bai Zhi's palm.

Then, a magical scene happened.

Bai Zhi's alluring face turned into the image of an old woman.

He is also much shorter and hunched over.

He has gray hair with wrinkles all over it, and his skin is so thin that it can be seen that it is dry and bone-like.

Not only has the mana fluctuation completely changed, but even the breath of life exuding is no longer as vibrant as a young man should be, and is full of the twilight energy of decay.

Meng Zhou, who did not believe in evil, directly grabbed the dry chicken claw-like hand of the "old woman" in front of him and carefully inspected her body.

In the end, I had to admit that this change was not just a change in appearance, but also changes in muscles, organs, mana fluctuations, and life breath.

Until, Meng Zhou's inspection stopped outside Bai Zhi's sea of ​​consciousness.

After hesitating for a moment, he still sent the message through his mind.

"I want to go in and have a look."

Meng Zhou clearly felt that Bai Zhi's mood fluctuated violently.

But, just for a moment.

Soon, she took the initiative to open up her sea of ​​consciousness.

With her active cooperation, Meng Zhou easily inspected her knowledge of the sea.

The sea of ​​consciousness is the most private territory of a monk.

Even when facing close relatives, unless there are special circumstances, it is rare to open the sea of ​​consciousness to others.

This is equivalent to exposing everything about yourself to another person without reservation.

Meng Zhou didn't pry into her private thoughts, he just glanced at her and took the initiative to withdraw.

After this inspection, Meng Zhou felt inexplicably relieved.

Fortunately, Bai Zhi's soul is still herself, and she has not turned into an old woman.

"However, compared to her real body, her soul state is much cuter."

It's like a Q version of Angelica dahurica.

Meng Zhou retracted his hand and stopped inspecting.

Bai Zhi, who felt a little humiliated, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Meng Zhou ignored her emotional changes for the time being, immersed in a state of extreme surprise.

Although Bai Zhi did not change her soul at the same time, her performance was already outrageous.

When she used magic power to make brushes and paint in the void, Meng Zhou watched very carefully.

With a powerful enough spiritual consciousness, every stroke, every painting, and every detail was taken into account by his eyes.

Coupled with the various special abilities given to him by the "Transparent Dao Body".

It can be said that when Bai Zhi was painting, simultaneous restoration and deduction were going on in his sea of ​​consciousness.

In his judgment, there was nothing special about the old woman formed by mana.

He can even use his magic power to accurately restore it one to one.

But this portrait of the void, which was nothing special in his judgment, finally achieved such an exaggerated effect.

Performance is so miraculous.

Meng Zhou couldn't help but think of the profession of "knot master" again.

Isn't the profession of knot master the same?

In the stage of first-level rope knots and hundreds of techniques, it may be possible to achieve the effect through simple recovery of movements.

But after the second level, especially after Meng Zhou understood and mastered the "All Things Knot Technique", it could no longer be accomplished by simple external imitation.

It has become a very private, egoistic, and personal way of communicating with the world.

"So, her painter is the same as her knot maker, the most important thing is not outside, but inside?"

"To achieve her effect, the external painting is not important, but it must be synchronized with the soul and the cognitive level?"

"Perhaps this painting process is a guidance process for her to understand her own mind, like some kind of hypnosis?"

This is the second profession besides the Knot Master profession that cannot be calibrated and restored using realistic, external actions and steps.

And any profession other than these two professions, although there is more or less emphasis on "feeling", but after all, there are laws to follow and traces to follow.

As his thoughts turned, Meng Zhou thought that in the Moon Palace, the "rope spirit" representing Yaya and the "painting spirit" representing Bai Zhi were originally a complete whole.

From this perspective, the "knot master" and the "painter" have similarities at a certain level, and the consistency is understandable?

Bai Zhi still stood in front of her properly.

However, seeing her as an overly realistic white-haired old woman, Meng Zhou said: "You'd better change back."

In an instant, as if the light and shadow disappeared, the pale-faced and white-haired old woman had once again transformed into her original appearance of celestial beauty.

Meng Zhou paused for a moment before asking: "Why?"

what why?

Of course, why are you willing to meet in person today? Anyway, I didn't notice it last time, so why didn't I "bring it on myself" this time?

Why are you so honest and tell your secrets to yourself?

Are you even willing to open the sea of ​​consciousness to him?

Although his question was simple and vague, Bai Zhi was able to accurately understand the true intention of this man's words.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi sighed softly in her heart again. After a pause, she still said:

"I want to have a serious talk with you. I don't want to be imprisoned by you without knowing why."

After hearing this, Meng Zhou paused.

He also didn't expect that in the past few months, he had been immersed in his own practice and had almost completely forgotten about her as a "prisoner", but he would have such an unexpected effect.

After nearly half a year of calmness, she should have fully understood her own style of behavior now.

If she doesn't seize this opportunity, the next time the two of them see each other again may be half a year or more later.

Even if the life of a foundation-building monk far exceeds that of Qi training, there is no reason to waste it so much.

He sneaked into the secluded place while someone was forming elixirs, and according to the practitioner's philosophy, he could kill her on the spot without any problem.

But this doesn’t mean there’s no killing.

Therefore, she needs to take the initiative and communicate with herself openly.

In order to achieve the best possible result, she almost took the initiative and showed everything that should be explained and everything that should not be explained.

Meng Zhou, who understood her thoughts, nodded, but was silent for a while before saying:

"It is impossible for me to let you leave... If you feel that this quiet room is too small, I can allow you to move freely within the cave. This is my biggest concession."

Because he still had some doubts about Bai Zhi's condition, and also thought about the inexplicable death of Yaya, who was once a human girl, he would not reveal her condition to her until he had a thorough understanding of Bai Zhi's condition.

.

She considers herself to be a human monk. Apart from those special features, her performance in all aspects is indeed in line with the performance of a normal human monk, so just let her continue to think so.

But it was impossible to set her free.

…

After hearing this answer, Bai Zhi was a little disappointed, but at the same time, she had already expected this answer.

Because she originally came here because of the mysterious feeling of "feeling incomplete and coming here to make up for herself".

Later, she learned about the cause and effect between herself and Meng Zhou, and Bai Zhi, who couldn't find any other suitable reasons, more or less agreed with Meng Zhou's statement.

It's possible that his crazy behavior is really because of this man.
