The bag was opened, and a loud "whooshing" sound of heavy armor crashing was heard.

  Hong Qingshan pulled it out with one hand and took a closer look.

  "In the army, generally, there are very few heavy armor sets that can be used as spares. After all, when the heavy armor is damaged in battle, it's only useful if the soldier still has combat power left. Among them, one set was too big, this set should be the closest to your body shape. However, it's still a bit small." Tian Dan said helplessly, finding a suitable one was quite difficult.

  Hong Qingshan smiled, and his entire body emitted a faint crackling sound.

  "This, this......" Tian Dan was shocked, "What kind of ultimate skill is this?"

  "Tian Dan, you're too inexperienced." Qing Hu said with a smile.

  Hong Qingshan changed his shape and immediately put on this set of heavy armor, just right, neither too big nor too small.

  "Tian Lao Ge, help me find another standard long gun," said Teng Qing Shan. "Later, put my revolver into the horse's saddle bag."

  "It's settled then," Tian nodded simply.

  "And also, it would be best if you could find a mirror." Teng Qing Shan said.

  "Mirror?" Tian Dan was somewhat perplexed.

  "Yes, mirror." Teng Qing Shan said.

  Tian Dan said helplessly, "Commander, this expedition is for battle. If we were to engage in a prolonged campaign, perhaps some officers would bring mirrors and other cumbersome items... But this time, we rushed to Dayan Mountain in great haste. And obviously, we should be back within a day or two at most. I don't know who brought a mirror. Ah yes, Qing might have, she's a girl."

  "She didn't bring it," Qing Hu sighed. "Qing young lady was worried about Qing Shan's life and death, how could she still care about the mirror?"

  "The young lady didn't bring one either... In the army, I'm afraid no one brings a mirror. Commander, what do you want a mirror for?" Tian Dan looked at Tun Qing Shan.

  Teng Qing Shan shook his head and said, "If there's no mirror, find something that can serve as a mirror... like a sharp war knife. Find one with a bright enough blade to serve as a mirror. If you can't find a good one, then just use a basin of water." At night, using a basin of water as a mirror had very poor results. Even though Teng Qing Shan's eyesight was good, the reflection on the surface of the water wasn't great after all.

  "War knife... hmm, I recall a brother, a centurion of the Second Battalion. His war knife was very shiny and had no bloodstains on it, which he brought with him when he first joined the Black Armor Army. That knife could serve as a mirror. Even if you don't ask me, I wouldn't have thought of this war knife." Tian Dan Lian said, "I'll go borrow it, but can't keep it for too long, will definitely return it later."

  "It'll be alright in a little while." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile.

  After Tian Dan left the military account, Teng Qing Shan took some charcoal from the small fire pile in the military account and drew on the stone. Finally, he chose six charcoals.

  Soon, Tian Dan borrowed that war sword.

  Indeed, the blade of this war knife is not as good as a high-quality mirror, but it's better than an ordinary copper mirror. Immediately, holding this war knife, Teng Qing Shan used these six pieces of wood charcoal with varying depths of color to 'make up' himself. The conditions were simple, but it depends on who has the skills.

  A master of makeup can turn decay into magic.

  With the training he received in his past life, Qing Shan was able to deceive even some scientific instruments with his makeup skills if given enough time to find some materials. Even though it wasn't as good as a human skin mask, it was close enough.

  A moment's effort.

  Teng Qinghu and Tian Dan only saw Teng Qingshan use that ordinary charcoal stick to lightly smear his face, occasionally using his fingers to blend, just for a moment, the face of Teng Qingshan in front of them had already changed.

  "What's going on? How could this be?" Tian Qinghu and Tian Dan stared with wide eyes.

  "Green Mountain." Teng Qinghuo couldn't believe it either, "I saw you draw it with my own eyes, how... your two eyes suddenly shrunk? And, no way... the eyes are still eyes, nose is still nose, mouth is still mouth. You just turned a bit darker. But how did the eyes, nose, and mouth all come together to change like that?" Teng Qinghuo didn't understand.

  Tian Dan's eyes widened in shock: "Eyes, nose, mouth haven't changed? How did they change when put together?"

  They have no idea at all, if the past's Teng Qing Shan smiled it would still be considered elegant.

  At this moment, Teng Qing Shan's smile seemed sinister. The distance between his two eyes appeared to be very close, and even his temperament had changed.

  "This makeup is actually a principle - deceiving people's eyes." Teng Qing Shan smiled lightly, "A painting in front of you, the painting is actually a flat surface, but when you look at it, it seems to come alive. This is deception of the eyes. Do you understand?"

  They both shook their heads.

  Teng Qing Shan smiled and didn't say much more.

  In ancient society, there were some places like parks where 'strange houses' were built. At first glance, these houses seemed very strange, but in fact, they just used the depth and lightness of colors to deceive people's eyes, creating a visual illusion that achieved the designer's effect. The same principle applies to makeup techniques in ancient China, which involved subtle adjustments to the depth and lightness of colors on the face.

  Create an optical illusion!

  The entire face, eyes, nose, and mouth haven't changed. But the overall effect is different. It's simple to say, but relying on a few charcoal sticks, it achieves such an effect in a short time. In past lives, only makeup masters could do this.

  "It's a pity the material isn't enough. If it were someone I know well, with careful observation, it would still be possible to tell. Teng Qing shook his head, under normal circumstances...it could have been completely different. A man disguising himself as a woman is also child's play."

  "That's enough, I don't believe it, someone can see through it." Teng Qinghu smiled, "I was startled just now."

  Hong Qinghu suddenly thought of something and said, "Qing Shan, the Sect Master is currently at the front line, talking to Gu Yong, the Island Master of Qing Hu Island. It seems like they've been talking for a while now."

  "Oh?" Teng Qing Shan's eyes narrowed, and with his makeup on, he looked like a venomous snake when his eyes narrowed.

  ……

  The Hei Jia army and the Yin Jiao army were facing each other, when the two masters of the Gui Yuan Zong sect and the Qing Hu Island stood side by side talking.

  The soldiers of the Black Armor Army and the Silver Python Army were all on high alert, ready to follow orders and engage in battle at any moment. Among the soldiers of the Black Armor Army, Teng Qing Shan, wearing ordinary heavy armor, followed Tian Dan and stood behind many soldiers. Through the crowd, Teng Qing Shan had already seen two figures in the distance.

  It was Zhuge Yuanhong and Gu Yong. And not far away, the Yin family, Mani Temple, Sheyue Divine Mountain, Hongtian City and other parties' pre-eminent experts had gathered there, laughing and chatting with each other.

  The distance is not too far, and if you listen carefully, even with a poor hearing like Teng Qing's, you can barely hear the conversation.

  Teng Qing Shan sneered, "The Ying family, the Mani Temple, and the She said Shen Mountain have obtained two tripods, but no one is dissatisfied with the abundance of North Sea spirits... As for Hong Tian Cheng and Xue Ying Jiao, they didn't even get a North Sea spirit, yet they still want to obtain it. These people just want to reap the benefits without doing any work."

  At this moment, Zhuge Yuanhong's voice suddenly became louder.

  "Gū Yōng, you have a belly full of fire. You want to kill that Qín Láng and then feel relieved, I understand this. But... what makes you certain it was my disciple Qīng Shān who did it? I've already said, Qīng Shān is not here, he's in our Guī Yuán Zōng cultivating diligently." Zhūgě Yuánhóng said calmly.

  "Isn't he your disciple? If not, how can he be so formidable and find the entrance to the bottomless pit in so many military camps?" Gu Yong laughed in extreme anger, "Moreover, many masters from the Ying family, Snow Eagle Sect, and others have witnessed it with their own eyes."

  "It's true." Yin Haojiang said loudly from a distance, "That Qin Lang is Teng Qing Shan wearing a human skin mask in disguise."

  "Haha..."

  Zhuge Yuanhong burst out laughing, "Human skin masks? Although there are very few people in this world who can make human skin masks, there are still a few! For example, the Carefree Palace, the ancestor of the Carefree Palace back then was famous for being carefree and traveling the world, with multiple bodies and thousands of appearances. That ghostly fox Sima Qing is also skilled at making human skin masks. I've heard that the Ying family has a genius named 'Ying Haoyan' who is very skilled in these strange and mysterious ways. This murderer, since they can wear a human skin mask of Qin Lang, why can't they wear another one of 'Teng Qing Shan'? Are they intentionally framing someone?"

  Not a few people nodded in agreement as they listened.

  "Reality is false, and falsehood is reality." Zhuge Yuanhong smiled faintly. "When you see a human skin mask fall off, revealing the true face... but don't realize that you've already fallen into someone else's trap. And... Ying Haojiang, I ask you, did you peel this human skin mask from Qin Lang's face?"

  "That's not it." Yu Haojiang shook his head.

  "That's right, it wasn't someone else who stripped him, would a human skin mask fall off? So, he deliberately dropped it." Zhuge Yuanhong said with a faint smile, "Everything is simple now, he deliberately revealed what he called his 'true face', and waited for someone to see it before he escaped. His sinister intentions are self-evident!"

  Zhuge Yuanhong's words made many people in the audience nod their heads in agreement.

  "This is the point, secondly, my disciple Teng Qing Shan is only seventeen years old! Although it's said that he has a natural talent, reaching the level of Innate. He's one of the greatest geniuses in a thousand years, second only to that ordinary person from the mortal world. However... Qin Lang can kill an Innate True Dan cultivator. According to you, Snow Eagle Sect's Iron Eagle was killed with just one move, and Wu Kun didn't even put up a fight! Do you think Teng Qing Shan has this kind of strength? Within a month, he went from Post-Heaven to Innate Void Dan, then reached Innate True Dan, and now can kill an Innate True Dan expert with just one move?"

  "Hmm." The old monk with a long eyebrow nodded and said, "Makes sense."

  "The third point is most important!"

  Zhuge Yuanhong looked at Gu Yong, "Gu Yong, as far as I know... this Yu Huang treasure map should be in your Qinghu Island. No one else has it. But... why did someone spread the word that you were digging for the Yu Huang treasure as soon as you arrived at Dayan Mountain? Why was the news leaked so quickly?"

  "It's obviously a conspiracy!" Zhuge Yuanhong glanced around at the crowd, smiling blandly. "If this news hadn't spread, I wouldn't have thought that Gu Island Master led his army here to get the Yu Huang treasure. In fact, from the very beginning of this excavation... someone had set us up! Gu Yong, your Qinghu Island suffered a great loss this time. The real culprit is the mastermind behind the scenes who designed this conspiracy. It's also the person who disguised themselves as Qin Lang and Tong Qing Shan!"

  "Earlier, spreading the news was a sinister move. Sending someone to infiltrate in disguise is another sinister move. Finally, intentionally revealing the face of Cang Qing Shan is yet another sinister move! The purpose is self-evident: firstly, you will kill my disciple Cang Qing Shan on Qing Hu Island, and in the process, both our sides will suffer significant losses. Secondly, it will lead to an all-out battle between us. This will cause my Yuan Sect to be destroyed, and your Qing Hu Island to suffer another severe blow, further weakening its foundation. I'm afraid that by then..." Zhuge Yuanhong spoke eloquently, while Gu Yong remained silent throughout.
