Chapter 2 Verification Capabilities
Lin Xiu clenched her fists tightly, feeling that her body was full of strength.
It was a powerful feeling he had never felt before.
Lin Xiu was still full of shock at this time. Just now, he seemed to have copied the ability of the square-faced man into his body. He clearly remembered that feeling. After the two bodies touched, a force gushed out from his body, Turned around in the square-faced man's body...
It seems that because of the arrival of his own soul, some changes have taken place in this body.
He has awakened a strange art, and his ability is - to copy the ability of others!
This ability has no effect on the earth. He has no ability of his own and can only copy others. If others have no ability, he will always be an ordinary person.
But it's different here. This is a world with countless supernatural beings.
What ability is there, is it better than this?
It's just that Lin Xiu still doesn't know whether this ability is only once, twice, three times, or --- countless times?
Lin Xiu still needs to find other capable people to verify.
Through the temptation just now, Lin Xiu knew that when he copied his ability, the other party didn't notice it.
However, he is new here, and he is not yet fully familiar with the place, so he can only wait for the square-faced man to come back. This wait is a full two hours.
Two hours later, the square-faced man stood outside the door of Lin's mansion, looking inside with his head poking his head. At this moment, a voice that made him tremble came from behind.
Sun Dali.
Sun Dali shivered for a moment, then turned his head, and after taking two steps back, he tentatively asked, Master, what's the matter?
Lin Xiu looked at him and asked, Besides you, who else do you know who has awakened the strange art?
After what happened just now, Sun Dali obviously kept a distance from Lin Xiu. He thought for a while and said, Most of the people who have awakened different arts have been recruited by the imperial court to become enshrined...
Lin Xiu had no access to the imperial court's offerings, and even if he could, he would have no proper reason to maintain long-term physical contact with them.
However, although the imperial court has recruited many people who have awakened strange arts, not all those who have awakened strange arts will be recruited by the imperial court.
One possibility is that their awakened abilities are too useless to be valued by the court.
For example, there was once a young man in Daming Mansion who awakened a strange technique that could accelerate his own aging. The ten-year-old boy died of old age at home less than half a month after awakening.
There is a girl in Ningshan Mansion. At the age of sixteen, she awakened the ability to make her hair fall out. She is a beautiful young girl, and she has been bald ever since.
According to legend, a man from the Da Luo Dynasty, after awakening a different technique, his body can shine in the sun, but when there is no sun, he is no different from ordinary people.
Although these are considered unusual abilities, they are really tasteless. It is better not to be awakened if awakened, at least to be able to be an ordinary person safely.
The second possibility of awakening the strange art and not being recruited by the court is that like Sun Dali, the awakening of the strange art is too late, and his own talent is not high. The future growth space is limited, and the court will not waste time and resources to cultivate .
Speaking of which, Lin Xiu also belongs to the second situation. Although he has awakened the strange art, his ability is still very weak, far inferior to Sun Dali, and even more incomparable with those young geniuses who became famous in the capital.
What he copied was the ability of others, not their strength. For example, Lin Xiu at this moment, although much stronger than ordinary people, was far from comparable to Sun Dali.
Sun Dali asked with some doubts: Young master, why are you looking for these people?
Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, It's nothing, I'm just curious.
Sun Dali scratched his head, as if he remembered something, and said: I heard from others that there is a girl in Pinfang Pavilion who can understand animal language, but I don't know if it's true...
It is difficult for a person to tell the truth when he claims that he can understand animals. After all, since others do not understand animal language, there is no way to verify it with animals.
However, for Lin Xiu, it is easy to know whether it is true or not.
Lin Xiu was eager to verify her ability, and she didn't want to wait any longer, so she got up and said, Let's go to Pinfang Pavilion!
Sun Dali looked stunned: Master, are you sure?
Lin Xiu was sure and sure, before he figured out his ability, he couldn't even sleep at night.
Not long.
Lin Xiu stood in front of the door of Pinfang Pavilion, and only then did she realize why Sun Dali had that expression just now. Pinfang Pavilion is a brothel, and several gorgeous brothel women are standing at the door, half-dressed, twisting their waists to attract customers .
Sun Dali swept his eyes over the disheveled brothel girls, secretly swallowed his saliva, and said to Lin Xiu again: Master, I advise you not to go in, if the master finds out, you and I are finished...
If you don't tell me, if I don't tell you, who will know? Lin Xiu glanced at him and said, Just wait outside, I'll be out in a while.
After speaking, he stepped into the gate of Pinfang Pavilion.
Sun Dali leaned against the wall outside and murmured: Wait...is the young master so fast?
Although the Lin family has declined, the declining nobles are also nobles. Lin Xiu himself is handsome and well-dressed, with a hint of nobility on his body. As soon as he stepped into the gate, the bustard came up with a group of girls.
Young master, please come inside!
What kind of girls do you like, tall, short, fat, and thin? I have them here!
Young master, let's see if the slave family can do it...
...
Lin Xiu took a step back, dodging the gestures of the two girls from the brothel.
Lin Xiu came to this kind of place for the first time in two lifetimes. First, he resisted in his heart, and second, because of the conditions of his previous life, he never lacked women around him.
He came to the brothel this time to do business.
Lin Xiu looked at the old bustard, and said straight to the point: I heard that there is a girl here who understands animal language?
The old bustard was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: My lord, you mean Haitang, she happens to be free at this meeting, I will take you to find her?
Haitang is indeed their girl, but the bustard doesn't know if she understands animal language or not. Anyway, that's what she said, and it's true that some curious guests like her. It's just some small tricks.
Lin Xiu followed the bustard to a room on the second floor. The bustard opened the door and walked in. After taking Lin Xiu in, she said to a woman standing in front of the window, Hai Tang, this distinguished guest has asked you to serve by name, can you help me? You have to use all your abilities to entertain...
There was a birdcage hanging in front of the window. The woman was wearing a green dress and was teasing the bird in the cage. When she heard the sound, she looked back and saw the old bustard bringing in a handsome young man with a very temperament. Bright.
Most of the men who come to the brothel to seek pleasure are old and ugly, such young, handsome and temperamental guests may not be able to meet one in a year.
Serving such a guest is also a kind of enjoyment for her, even if she doesn't charge his money, she is willing.
She smiled sweetly and said softly: Don't worry, mom, I will definitely satisfy this young master.
The old bustard chuckled and said, Then play slowly, and I'll go out first.
After saying that, she left the room and closed the door by the way.
The woman in the green dress named Haitang smiled at Lin Xiu again, and said, Why don't you let the little girl play the piano for you first?
Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, No need.
Haitang froze for a moment, this young master, is she so impatient? She has prepared a lot of foreplay...
Lin Xiu asked straight to the point: I heard that you can understand animal language?
Haitang was taken aback for a second, then nodded, and said, It's just a useless strange technique. Is your master interested in these?
Among the usual guests, quite a few came here out of curiosity, and she had seen many of them in recent years.
In the birdcage by the window, the thrush was chirping. Lin Xiu pointed to the thrush and asked, What is it talking about?
Haitang smiled and said: It is boasting that you are handsome.
Lin Xiu twitched the corners of her mouth and said, How can a bird's eyesight be the same as a human's? Miss Haitang, don't lie to me.
Haitang looked at Lin Xiu helplessly, and said, That's what it really said. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it.
Lin Xiu didn't continue this topic either, she could tell if she was lying or not just by touching it.
Lin Xiu walked to the table and sat down. Haitang walked over slowly, picked up the teapot, and poured him a cup of tea. Lin Xiu suddenly reached out and took her hand.
She was overjoyed, this young master is really impatient...
At the same time, Lin Xiu was overjoyed. Just as she held the woman's hand, the power in his body reacted again!
This woman is really a person with different abilities!
At this time, Haitang twisted her body and pretended to be shy and said, My lord, don't be so impatient...
Lin Xiu didn't let go of her hand, and pointed to the stool beside her, motioning for her to sit down.
Haitang originally wanted to sit in the young man's arms, but he didn't seem to have that intention, so he could only sit on the stool beside him depressed.
Lin Xiu continued to hold her hand, letting that force invade her body, looked at her with a smile, and asked, Where is Miss Haitang's house?
Haitang didn't expect this young master to chat with her about the family affairs. Although he was surprised, he responded with a smile: My family is from Jiangning Mansion.
Lin Xiu asked: Jiangning Mansion is not close to the capital, how did you come to the capital?
This question seems to have brought back her memories. After a moment of silence, Haitang said, When I was young, my family couldn't afford it, so my parents sold me. After a few twists and turns, I came here...
...
Outside the brothel.
Sun Dali squatted on the steps, waiting for the young master to come out, slightly surprised in his heart, it has been almost a quarter of an hour, and the young master still hasn't come out, it's not like for a while he said.
Bored, he leaned against the wall and took a nap with his hands behind his head.
Suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind blew by, and Sun Dali opened his eyes. In front of him, a woman in white was looking down at him.
The woman's skin is better than snow, her appearance is extremely beautiful, and her figure is tall. There is no doubt that her legs hidden under the long skirt must be extremely slender.
But Sun Dali couldn't appreciate the beauty of this woman. The moment he saw this woman, he shuddered, jumped up from the ground, and said in a trembling voice: Second, Second Miss, you, why are you here!
The woman glanced at him lightly and asked, What are you doing here, where is Lin Xiu?
Sun Dali took a guilty look inside the brothel and said, I don't know...
His small movements were keenly captured by the woman in white. She frowned slightly and asked again: Where's Lin Xiu?
Sun Dali shook his head and said, I really don't know.
The woman in white looked at him coldly and said, You are his personal bodyguard. Wherever he is, you will be there. How could you not know?
Sun Dali noticed that Sun Dali's eyes were dodging, and he looked aside from time to time, as if he was a little guilty. The woman in white looked into the brothel, and her voice was icy cold, as if it came from hell: Don't tell me, Lin Xiu is inside...
