What is the hardest thing for people to change?

There are many answers to this question, such as hobbies, temperament, destiny, etc. But in me, I find that the most difficult thing to change is habits.

Especially I have been used to the habit that I have been around for almost twenty years.

I am used to the days I spent with my master and junior brother, and every day I spend with them and what I do every day. Those habits have formed a specific natural reaction in my body. When I suddenly left this habit, I found it was difficult to change these habits.

I think this situation is very bad, especially when I have left my previous familiar life, this feeling suddenly becomes strongly reflected.

The master was dead. He left many secrets that I hadn't had the chance to know yet, and something that I could not accomplish, so I left.

When I left Chen's outer environment, I didn't say hello to Shen Mo. I thought that at that time, it would be better not to see each other again. I even don't see each other again in the future.

The last thing that Master wants us to do is the cruelest requirement for me and silence. I have not understood why Master must make that decision for many years.

Do you have to lose it first to get it?

This puzzled me.

So I never thought about it again. I suddenly felt that the external world of dust was a very terrifying place, and I couldn't stay there for a moment. That warm place like spring actually made me feel chilled from the bottom of my heart.

So I walked far away.

I left the world alone and began to embark on the path I chose.

But I lost my direction because I didn’t have a clear goal. To be precise, I don’t know where to go or what to do.

During that aimless time, I felt the feeling of "I don't know what I really want" that Master said before his death. I don't know the meaning of my existence. I feel very empty. I have learned to see so many things over the years, but I don't know what to do. I am confused.

I walked for a long time meaninglessly. I didn't care where I went, nor what I heard and saw along the way. On such days, I was like a soulless shell man floating around the world.

Until one day, I passed by a remote town, and that day seemed to be a festival in that place. Those people, young and old, wore various masks on their faces. They sang and danced, expressing their joy. I sat in a tavern, quietly watching them play different roles with different masks.

I just sat like that, and a long time later, a thought suddenly flashed out of my heart.

If a mask is worn on a person's face, others will not know who you are. Without a familiar appearance, no name that others know, you can't even see whether you are a man or a woman. This seems to be a good way to hide your original identity.

I decided to get out of my confusion, so I began to quietly and carefully clarify the situation I was facing.

First of all, I found a reason for my confusion, that is, my identity. The identity of the Guiyin disciple made me lose myself.

This is the only reason I can convince myself, because I know that many reasons can be created.

If I don’t want to continue to live meaninglessly like this, I must have a new self and choose a completely different path from the Ghost Yin disciples.

And what confused me the most was what should I do as a disciple of Guiyin?

So I decided not to let this identity continue to bother me for the time being.

But there is a problem with this: Although the Guiyin lineage has disappeared in the world for a hundred years, it does not mean that it has been completely forgotten. Regardless of the hatred of Guiyin in the world a hundred years ago, it is the people who were expelled from Guiyin a hundred years ago. Although I have no connection with them for the time being, the death of Master has clearly told me that there are still many unknown dangers in the disciples of Guiyin. The Mei Yinhan, the master has been looking for, is a huge red flag.

The master spent a long time looking for Mei Yinhan, and finally found it. In my guess, Master and Mei Yinhan had fought. Under my guilt for no reason, Master deliberately kept his hands and was seriously injured and killed by Mei Yinhan. Although Master exchanged his life for his peace of mind, he must have known that Mei Yinhan would never stop at Gui Yin, otherwise he would not solemnly warn me and my junior brother to beware of Mei Yinhan before he died. Although I understand that my understanding of Master is very limited, in martial arts, I know very well that Master’s cultivation is. Even if he intentionally kept his hands, there are only people in this world who can seriously injured and die! So Mei Yinhan is definitely an extremely terrifying existence!

Before his death, my master said that with my current martial arts cultivation and Shen Mo, even if we join forces, we can't beat Mei Yinhan. Now Mei Yinhan has appeared in the world. Although he doesn't know where he is, if he really wants to continue targeting Gui Yin, he will find me and Shen Mo one day in the future.

Mei Yinhan! Although I have never seen this person, his name has now been stuck on my back like a thorn, making me feel terrible dangers surrounding me at any time.

Therefore, in order to avoid the possibility of this danger, I must completely hide my original identity and create a new self, a new character that no one knows.

And I may find the meaning of my new life and my own existence with this new identity.

The most direct way to change one's appearance characteristics is disguise. And in the practice over the years, the art of disguise is undoubtedly the art of disguise.

In my understanding, disguise is divided into three levels: one is to move shape, two is to change spirit, and three is to have no self. Simply put, the first level is the most basic disguise technique, using simple makeup and clothing to disguise yourself as another person, which is also the least difficult. The second level of disguise is to use human skin and other secret special masks, plus the auxiliary of expression and tone and daily movements to change into a certain person. This is more difficult and is the least easy to be noticed by others. The final selflessness is the most difficult, and it is the combination of the previous two levels. The difficulty lies in not only being good at external concealment, but also forgetting oneself from the heart and turning oneself into an object of disguise.

The difficulty of these three levels is too easy for me, because after nearly twenty years of practice, the most I practiced is the method of disguise, and I can also use special techniques to change the form of my body. I remember that once I disguised myself as a wandering old woman in my sixties, and I had not been discovered after three days with my master and junior brother. So for my attainments in disguise, my master also praised it as "better than transformation."

I don’t know how good my martial arts are, but I have absolute confidence in disguise.

There are many people in the world who disguise themselves. The ones they use the most are human skin masks. But I think that is too disgusting. Just imagine, will a skin peeled from someone else and stick to your own face. Will that feeling make you feel very comfortable? So I have tried many other methods to create masks that can replace human skin, and finally succeeded.

So in that small town, I used the most common clothes and special methods to turn myself into another person.

When I looked at the pale and thin body in the bronze mirror, I let out a long breath.

I was very satisfied because the "I" in the bronze mirror had a completely different expression and body shape from the original me, and that was a completely stranger.

In this world, no one will know the "I" in the bronze mirror. Because it is a completely new "life".

Xiao Yi, one of the last two disciples of the Guiyin lineage, disappeared from that small town from then on.
