shòu dào wú xiāng shā jī de yǐng xiǎng ， zhōu qīng áng shēn biān de yú qún shà shí jiān biàn dé fēng kuáng qǐ lái 。
受到无相杀机的影响，周青昂身边的鱼群霎时间变得疯狂起来。
Influenced by the Formless Killing Mechanism, the fish around Zhou Qingang went wild.
wú shì tā shēn shàng chuán lái de wēi yā ， zhēng xiān kǒng hòu de kěn shí zhe tā de qū tǐ 。
无视他身上传来的威压，争先恐后的啃食着他的躯体。
Ignoring the oppressive aura emanating from him, they voraciously bit at his body.
méi yǒu le shén hún zì zhǔ fáng hù ， jǐn jǐn piàn kè zhī hòu ， yī lǚ xiān xuè rǎn hóng zhōu wéi de hǎi shuǐ 。
没有了神魂自主防护，仅仅片刻之后，一缕鲜血染红周围的海水。
Zhou Qingang transformed into another form and approached Zhao Manager, babbling nonsense.
zhōu qīng áng yǐ rán shī gǔ wú cún 。
周青昂已然尸骨无存。
Zhao Manager's ability to discern truth in words had lost its effectiveness; he was easily fooled.
yī kē fàn zhe qī cǎi guāng máng ， shàng miàn yǒu zhe qī gè dòng 、 shí tou bān de xīn zàng ， xī chū zài shì fā zhī dì 。
一颗泛着七彩光芒，上面有着七个洞、石头般的心脏，析出在事发之地。
Leaving a stunned Zhao Manager standing there, Zhou Qingang returned to his original appearance in an unoccupied area. He sent a message to He Zhenghao: "Where are you now?"
guāng máng àn dàn wú bǐ 。
光芒暗澹无比。
He Zhenghao’s weary voice replied after a short while: "I’ve taken on a task and am currently constructing defensive arrays for a friend's island. What does Fellow Daoist Li Feng need me for?"
suí zhe zhǔ rén sǐ qù ， zhè kē 【 qī qiào líng lóng xīn 】， yǐ rán shī qù le tiān dì zhī qí ， chéng wéi le yī kē háo bù qǐ yǎn de pǔ tōng shí tou ， chén mò zài hǎi dǐ 。
随着主人死去，这颗【七窍玲珑心】，已然失去了天地之奇，成为了一颗毫不起眼的普通石头，沉没在海底。
Zhou Qingang sneered, "Still doing tasks? He Zhenghao, do you know that disaster is about to befall you?"
yuán dì děng dài le shù tiān ， jiàn yǔn luò de yì zhuàng méi yǒu xī yǐn bié de xiū shì qián lái 。
原地等待了数天，见陨落的异状没有吸引别的修士前来。
He Zhenghao was momentarily stunned: "Fellow Daoist, why say such things?"
lǐ fán zhè cái fǎn huí ， méi yǒu guǎn qí tā dōng xī ， zhǐ jiāng 【 qī qiào líng lóng xīn 】 xī shōu ， wèi hái zhēn chōng néng 。
李凡这才返回，没有管其他东西，只将【七窍玲珑心】吸收，为还真充能。
"Details must be discussed in person. Hurry back to the Crystal Island; time is of the essence." Zhou Qingang said seriously.
zhè zhī hòu ， lǐ fán yī lù méi yǒu jīng dòng rèn hé rén ， qiǎo rán huí dào le wàn xiān dǎo 。
这之后，李凡一路没有惊动任何人，悄然回到了万仙岛。
"Alright... Fellow Daoist, please wait for me," He Zhenghao responded hesitantly, his trust in Zhou Qingang’s words evident after Zhou's previous performance with the Lingfogcao incident. He immediately cut off communication, visibly nervous.
zhōu qīng áng de shī zōng shàng wèi yǐn qǐ rèn hé rén de zhù yì 。
周青昂的失踪尚未引起任何人的注意。
After a few hours, He Zhenghao finally arrived, looking haggard and weary. His eyes held a hint of fear that he tried to suppress.
yī wèi zhù jī xiū shì ， wài chū gè shí lái tiān ， lián xì bù shàng ， shí zài zài zhèng cháng bù guò le 。
一位筑基修士，外出个十来天，联系不上，实在再正常不过了。
"Fellow Daoist," He Zhenghao began as soon as he saw Zhou Qingang.
lǐ fán méi yǒu zháo jí jǔ bào zhōu qīng áng de jiàn dié shēn fèn ， ér shì xiān gǎn wù qǐ 【 qī qiào líng lóng xīn 】 lái 。
李凡没有着急举报周青昂的间谍身份，而是先感悟起【七窍玲珑心】来。
Zhou Qingang waved him off, cutting him short with a glance. He activated the Mountain River Starry Array.
“ bā miàn líng lóng 、 xīn shēn shì hǎi ； gǔ huò rén xīn ， zhēn jiǎ mò biàn 。”
“八面玲珑、心深似海；蛊惑人心，真假莫变。”
"Has Fellow Daoist Zhou guarded Tai’an Island?" Zhou Qingang asked.
sān tiān zhī hòu ， lǐ fán zhǎng hū yì kǒu qì ， yǎn zhōng shǎn zhe mò míng de shén sè 。
三天之后，李凡长呼一口气，眼中闪着莫名的神色。
He Zhenghao hesitated before answering truthfully: "Yes, I know Zhou very well. We have a good relationship, and he often seeks my advice on array techniques. Why are you asking?"
“ suī rán jǐn jǐn shì zhōng pǐn rén zhī qí ， duì yú xiū xíng bìng wú tè shū yì chù 。 dàn zuò wéi yī míng jiàn dié de zhù jī qí wù ， zé shì zài hǎo bù guò le 。”
“虽然仅仅是中品人之奇，对于修行并无特殊益处。但作为一名间谍的筑基奇物，则是再好不过了。”
"Hmph. You haven’t misled me," Zhou Qingang said coldly. "If you had lied even slightly, I would have left immediately."
dān tián zhī zhōng ，【 hái zhēn 】 zhàn fàng chū wēn rùn guāng huá ， huǎn huǎn biàn huàn chéng 【 qī qiào líng lóng xīn 】 mú yàng 。
丹田之中，【还真】绽放出温润光华，缓缓变幻成【七窍玲珑心】模样。
He Zhenghao grew more anxious.
lǐ fán yǐn yǐn yǒu zhǒng gǎn jué ， páng fó pī shàng liǎo wú shù céng xū jiǎ de wài tào yì bān ， bié rén zài yě wú fǎ qīng yì kān pò zì jǐ de xīn líng 。
李凡隐隐有种感觉，彷佛披上了无数层虚假的外套一般，别人再也无法轻易勘破自己的心灵。
Seeing the atmosphere was set, Zhou Qingang took out a recording stone and played the conversation between Zhou and the broken-faced man.
“ cǐ wù shèn miào ！”
“此物甚妙！”
...
lǐ fán xīn zhōng àn zàn dào 。
李凡心中暗赞道。
"Zhenghao has suffered significant losses this time; I’m applying for these ten thousand contributions to deepen our relationship. He’s proficient in array techniques and participated in the island's defenses. With his help, we can master the arrays more quickly."
suí hòu ， lǐ fán yòu chá kàn qǐ yǔ zhī pèi tào de mì fǎ 【 mào suí xīn biàn 】 lái 。
随后，李凡又查看起与之配套的秘法【貌随心变】来。
...
zhè yě bú shì yī mén xiū xíng gōng fǎ ， ér shì zhōu qīng áng suǒ zài de zǔ zhī ， tè dì wèi qī qiào líng lóng xīn chuàng zào de yī mén yì róng mì fǎ 。
这也不是一门修行功法，而是周青昂所在的组织，特地为七窍玲珑心创造的一门易容秘法。
At first, He Zhenghao was confused since Zhou wasn’t in his original form. As the conversation unfolded, he realized what had happened. Hearing his own name mentioned, his face turned pale.
zài xīn zhōng shè dìng hǎo tè dìng róng mào zhī hòu ， qī qiào líng lóng xīn hé mì fǎ xiàng hù jī fā ， jiù néng zài shùn jiān biàn chéng lìng yī rén mú yàng 。
在心中设定好特定容貌之后，七窍玲珑心和秘法相互激发，就能在瞬间变成另一人模样。
Drops of sweat rolled down his forehead as he trembled uncontrollably.
tǐ xíng 、 yàng mào ， jiē yǔ yuán lái bù tóng 。
体型、样貌，皆与原来不同。
Zhou Qingang put away the recording stone and looked at He Zhenghao sternly: "Fellow Daoist He, how much information about the island’s defenses did you leak?"
qiě shì zhēn zhèng de biàn huà ， bú huì bèi 【 pò wàng 】 zhī lèi de fǎ shù kàn chuān 。
且是真正的变化，不会被【破妄】之类的法术看穿。
"None... not much! Really!" He Zhenghao stammered in defense.
wéi yī kě xī de shì ， zhǐ néng biàn huà róng mào ， zì shēn qì xī bù néng gǎi biàn 。
唯一可惜的是，只能变化容貌，自身气息不能改变。
"Tell me the truth! Or do I have to hand this over to the Martial Hall for a thorough investigation?" Zhou Qingang shouted angrily.
suǒ yǐ zhōu qīng áng měi cì biàn huàn chū xíng ， dōu yóu qí xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn 。
所以周青昂每次变幻出行，都尤其小心谨慎。
He Zhenghao was initially shocked, then realized what Zhou meant and his eyes filled with hope.
xún zhǎo wú rén piān pì zhī dì ， shōu liǎn yǐn cáng qì xī 。
寻找无人偏僻之地，收敛隐藏气息。
He grabbed Zhou’s hands and pleaded: "Fellow Daoist, save me! Save me!"
zhǐ bù guò ， bèi shēn huái wú xiāng shā jī de lǐ fán dīng shàng ， zài zěn me xiǎo xīn yě wú yòng le 。
只不过，被身怀无相杀机的李凡盯上，再怎么小心也无用了。
Zhou Qingang pushed him away: "If you really want my help, tell me everything about Zhou."
lǐ fán yī biān zài xīn zhōng yán xí 【 mào suí xīn biàn 】， yī biān sī suǒ zhe 。
李凡一边在心中研习【貌随心变】，一边思索着。
He Zhenghao sobbed: "I’ll tell you everything."
“ zhī qián jiù yǒu jiè zhù 【 hái zhēn 】 biàn huàn zhù jī qí wù ， mào chōng tā rén de xiǎng fǎ 。”
“之前就有借助【还真】变换筑基奇物，冒充他人的想法。”
After hearing his confession, Zhou Qingang was speechless. It turned out that a significant portion of the array’s outer structure data had indeed been contributed by He Zhenghao.
“ rú jīn yǒu le qī qiào líng lóng xīn hé zhè yì róng mì fǎ ， jiǎ mào tā rén qǐ lái gèng jiā bī zhēn le 。”
“如今有了七窍玲珑心和这易容秘法，假冒他人起来更加逼真了。”
"He would flatter me regularly, boasting my array techniques and asking for advice," He Zhenghao said sheepishly. "I got carried away... Who knew Zhou was an agent?"
“ zài zhě ， wǒ yǒu 《 qiān jī yù huán jīn zhāng 》 biàn qì jī ，《 tōu tiān huàn rì jué 》 shí mìng shù 。”
“再者，我有《千机玉寰金章》辨气机，《偷天换日诀》识命数。”
"Why did I fall for his words?" He Zhenghao lamented, nearly in tears.
“ ruò shì néng jiāng qì jī 、 mìng shù yī tóng páng mào biàn huà ， kǒng pà jiù dàng zhēn shì zhēn jiǎ nán biàn le 。”
“若是能将气机、命数一同彷冒变化，恐怕就当真是真假难辨了。”
"Regardless of your knowledge, you’ve leaked confidential information from the Ten Thousand Dao Alliance." Zhou Qingang sneered.
“ rú guǒ néng chéng ……”
“如果能成……”
"Fellow Daoist He, do you know what will happen to you?"
lǐ fán sī cháo yǒng dòng ， xǔ duō niàn tou tóng shí fú xiàn 。
李凡思潮涌动，许多念头同时浮现。
He Zhenghao shivered: "Revocation of position and strict investigation. My permissions might be revoked, and my cultivation could be stripped..."
“ cǐ shì fēn shēn ná le yún shuǐ tiān gōng de shí wàn gòng xiàn dù hòu ， bù chóu méi shì zuò le 。”
“此世分身拿了云水天宫的十万贡献度后，不愁没事做了。”
The thought filled him with dread as he realized his future was bleak. His recent losses from taking on numerous tasks to regain contributions added to the strain.
wèi le shì yàn zhè qī qiào líng lóng xīn de xiào guǒ jiū jìng rú hé ， lǐ fán tōng guò chuán sòng zhèn ， lái dào le liú lí dǎo 。
为了试验这七窍玲珑心的效果究竟如何，李凡通过传送阵，来到了琉璃岛。
Under multiple pressures, He Zhenghao’s resolve broke, and he began to sob: "Why am I so unlucky? I’ve lost everything and now this!"
méi jiàn dào hé zhèng hào de shēn yǐng ， bù zhī qù le hé chù 。
没见到何正浩的身影，不知去了何处。
"Is there any way for me to survive?"
lǐ fán zàn shí méi yǒu guǎn tā ， zhǐ shì biàn huàn chéng le lìng yī fú mú yàng ， qù zhào guǎn shì miàn qián hú yán luàn yǔ le yī quān 。
李凡暂时没有管他，只是变幻成了另一幅模样，去赵管事面前胡言乱语了一圈。
Zhou Qingang remained unmoved. After a while, He Zhenghao, feeling awkward, wiped his tears and pleaded: "Fellow Daoist, please save me! This recording stone must not be handed over; otherwise, my future is ruined!"
zhào guǎn shì nà biàn bié huà yǔ zhēn jiǎ de yì néng guǒ rán shī qù le xiào yòng ， qīng yì bèi xì shuǎ 。
赵管事那辨别话语真假的异能果然失去了效用，轻易被戏耍。
"You know how significant it would be to expose an agent," Zhou Qingang said.
liú xià yī liǎn zhèn jīng de zhào guǎn shì dāi lì zài yuán dì ， lǐ fán yú wú rén chù ， chóng xīn biàn huí le běn shēn yàng mào 。
留下一脸震惊的赵管事呆立在原地，李凡于无人处，重新变回了本身样貌。
He Zhenghao stammered: "I can compensate you."
gěi hé zhèng hào fā le xùn xī :“ dào yǒu xiàn zài rén zài hé chù ？”
给何正浩发了讯息:“道友现在人在何处？”
Zhou Qingang chuckled: "You’re penniless now. What can you offer? I don’t need contributions. In the Lingfogcao incident, I made sixty thousand!"
mò guò yī huì ， hé zhèng hào lüè xiǎn pí bèi de shēng yīn chuán lái :“ jiē le gè rèn wù ， zhèng zài wèi yī wèi dào yǒu de dǎo yǔ dòng fǔ jiàn zào fáng yù zhèn fǎ 。 bù zhī lǐ fán dào yǒu zhǎo wǒ hé shì ？”
没过一会，何正浩略显疲惫的声音传来:“接了个任务，正在为一位道友的岛屿洞府建造防御阵法。不知李凡道友找我何事？”
He Zhenghao’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Zhou Qingang.
lǐ fán lěng xiào yī shēng :“ hái zuò shén me rèn wù 。
李凡冷笑一声:“还做什么任务。
"Is that true?" He asked skeptically.
hé zhèng hào ， nǐ kě zhī nǐ kuài yào dà nàn lín tóu le ma ！”
何正浩，你可知你快要大难临头了嘛！”
"Yes," He Zhenghao nodded hurriedly.
hé zhèng hào wēi wēi yí zhèng :“ dào yǒu hé chū cǐ yán ？”
何正浩微微一怔:“道友何出此言？”
His envy and regret grew: "I should have listened to Fellow Daoist's advice."
“ cǐ shì hái xū miàn tán ， nǐ sù sù huí liú lí dǎo 。 shì tài jǐn jí ， chí zé shēng biàn 。” lǐ fán yán sù de shuō dào 。
“此事还需面谈，你速速回琉璃岛。事态紧急，迟则生变。”李凡严肃的说道。
After a while, He Zhenghao thought: "I have half of the 'Hundred Vessel Array Diagram' detailed explanation. It’s my entire..."
“ hǎo …… dào yǒu qiě děng wǒ 。” huò xǔ shì zhī qián lǐ fán zài líng wù cǎo shì jiàn zhōng biǎo xiàn ， ràng hé zhèng hào shèn wéi xìn fú 。 cǐ shí tā duì lǐ fán suǒ shuō de huà ， méi yǒu sī háo huái yí 。 yǔ qì huāng zhāng ， zhí jiē duàn kāi le tōng xùn 。
“好……道友且等我。”或许是之前李凡在灵雾草事件中表现，让何正浩甚为信服。此时他对李凡所说的话，没有丝毫怀疑。语气慌张，直接断开了通讯。
Zhou Qingang interrupted him: "Arrays aren’t interesting to me; I just wanted it as an entry-level position."
guò le xiǎo bàn tiān shí jiān ， hé zhèng hào zhōng yú shān shān lái chí 。
过了小半天时间，何正浩终于姗姗来迟。
He Zhenghao hesitated and said: "I also have a daughter, who is at the base level of cultivation. She can be introduced to you."
miàn sè qiáo cuì ， shén tài pí juàn ， sì hū hǎo jiǔ méi yǒu hǎo hǎo xiū xī guò le 。
面色憔悴，神态疲倦，似乎好久没有好好休息过了。
Zhou Qingang’s expression turned serious: "You’re not worth my time! This matter ends here!"
yǎn shén zhōng hái lüè dài diǎn jīng jù ， zhǐ bù guò bèi qiáng xíng yā xià 。
眼神中还略带点惊惧，只不过被强行压下。
He Zhenghao sighed in relief but then looked troubled again.
“ dào yǒu ……” hé zhèng hào jiàn zhe lǐ fán ， zhèng yù shuō huà 。
“道友……”何正浩见着李凡，正欲说话。
Realizing Zhou had intentions, He Zhenghao said: "Fellow Daoist, stop playing with me. What do you want?"
lǐ fán yī bǎi shǒu ， zhí jiē jiāng qí dǎ duàn 。
李凡一摆手，直接将其打断。
Zhou Qingang smiled and patted He Zhenghao’s shoulder: "I want you."
yǎn shén shì yì zhōng ， hé zhèng hào kāi qǐ le shān chuān xīng dǒu dà zhèn 。
眼神示意中，何正浩开启了山川星斗大阵。
He Zhenghao was taken aback before his face turned pale. He took a step back, looking at Zhou Qingang warily.
lǐ fán zhè zhèn shì ， ràng tā yù fā bù ān qǐ lái 。
李凡这阵势，让他愈发不安起来。
"Ha ha, what are you thinking?"
“ hé dào yǒu ， tài ān dǎo zhèn shǒu zhōu qīng áng ， nǐ kě shú xī ？” lǐ fán wèn dào 。
“何道友，泰安岛镇守周青昂，你可熟悉？”李凡问道。
"I mean, from now on, follow my lead," Zhou Qingang said solemnly.
hé zhèng hào lèng le lèng ， rú shí huí dá dào :“ zhōu dào yǒu a ， shú xī shú xī 。 cǐ rén gēn wǒ guān xì bù cuò ， hái shí cháng xiàng wǒ qǐng jiào zhèn dào zhī shí lái zhe 。 dào yǒu wèn zhè ge gàn má ？”
何正浩愣了愣，如实回答道:“周道友啊，熟悉熟悉。此人跟我关系不错，还时常向我请教阵道知识来着。道友问这个干嘛？”
Standing in front of He Zhenghao, he continued: "I want your loyalty."
Influenced by the Formless Killing Mechanism, the fish around Zhou Qingang went wild.
Ignoring the oppressive aura emanating from him, they voraciously bit at his body.
Zhou Qingang transformed into another form and approached Zhao Manager, babbling nonsense.
Zhao Manager's ability to discern truth in words had lost its effectiveness; he was easily fooled.

"Fellow Daoist," He Zhenghao began as soon as he saw Zhou Qingang.
Zhou Qingang waved him off, cutting him short with a glance. He activated the Mountain River Starry Array.
"Has Fellow Daoist Zhou guarded Tai’an Island?" Zhou Qingang asked.
He Zhenghao hesitated before answering truthfully: "Yes, I know Zhou very well. We have a good relationship, and he often seeks my advice on array techniques. Why are you asking?"
"Hmph. You haven’t misled me," Zhou Qingang said coldly. "If you had lied even slightly, I would have left immediately."
