I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

And how should one practice this path of transformation specifically...

"Brother Ya, Brother Ya...my grandfather is calling you to come over for dinner."

Hearing the tender child's voice coming from outside the door, Zhou Heng, who had already adapted to the local customs and wrapped himself in a fur coat, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Then, he gradually calmed down, stood up and quickly opened the door of his room.

Outside, a little girl who looked only three or four years old was wrapped up like a ball, with a red face tilted up. Her big round eyes looked particularly spiritual under the faint light of the light stone in the house.

Zhou Heng still had a smile on his face. He bent down gently and picked up the little girl. Then he pinched her rosy little face and chuckled softly:

"Thank you, Xiaoying. Brother will carry you over."

Hear the words.

The little girl called Xiaoying suddenly widened her eyes in shock.

"Brother Ya, you, you can speak? But didn't grandpa say you can't speak? How can you speak?"

"Hahahaha...silly girl, of course I can speak. I just didn't want to say it before."

Zhou Heng smiled again and pinched the other person's little face, then walked quickly towards the dining room where Lin Shan's family had dinner.

……

As soon as you enter the dining room.

Before Zhou Heng put her down, the little girl excitedly said to Lin Shan in the room:

"Grandpa, Grandpa. Dumb brother is not dumb anymore. Dumb brother can speak."

"what?"

Hearing this, Lin Shan and his wife in the room looked at Zhou Heng in shock.

See this.

Zhou Heng placed the little girl on the stool in front of the dining table, and bowed to Lin Shan and his wife with a smile, saying:

"Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, I can indeed speak."

"This...this...old man, this..."

Seeing that Zhou Heng actually spoke, Lin Shan's wife looked at Lin Shan with a little fear.

At the same time, Lin Shan's face was terribly gloomy.

After several breaths of time had passed, he knocked on the table lightly and said, "Let's eat first."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin."

Zhou Heng smiled and thanked him, then sat down at the table without any excessive politeness.

……

Not long after.

The dinner with a somewhat solemn atmosphere finally came to an end.

Zhou Heng, led by Lin Shan, came to the other party's bedroom.

"Tell me, who are you and why have you been playing dumb for the past few months?"

After closing the bedroom door, Lin Shan didn't beat around the bush and directly questioned Zhou Heng in a fierce manner.

In addition, he also showed Zhou Heng the power of a second-level metamorphosis practitioner. That power was like a ferocious bear or tiger fighting in the wilderness, as if it could choose someone to devour in the next second.

It’s a pity that power is not a substantial attack, but an oppression of willpower.

Although Zhou Heng has lost his cultivation level, he was once a powerful Golden Immortal. His willpower is unimaginable. As for the power of the second metamorphosis that Lin Shan is showing now, to him, it is no different from the meowing of a kitten or puppy.

Therefore, facing Lin Shan's deep questioning, He still smiled calmly and replied:

"Speaking of which, Uncle Lin and I have a deep connection. Your name is Lin Shan, and mine... is Jiang Shan.

As for why I have been deliberately pretending to be mute for the past few months, it was actually to test your character, Uncle Lin."

"Oh? Testing my character? Why?"

Seeing Zhou Heng so calm under his power, Lin Shan couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

However, he did not give up questioning.

As the current village chief of Hongye Village and the one who advocated rescuing Zhou Heng, he must be responsible for the safety of the village. Even if he loses his life, he must find out the reason why Zhou Heng lurked in their village, otherwise he will not be able to sleep or eat.

"Hehehe...Uncle Lin, don't be nervous. Jiang has no ill intentions."

Zhou Heng chuckled and soothed her, then explained with a slightly melancholy look:

"To be honest with you, Uncle Lin, the reason why I ended up in your village is because my entire family was murdered by our enemies."

"What? You really have an enemy?!"

Lin Shan couldn't help but exclaim, and at the same time felt extremely regretful.

He never thought that he, a veteran in the industry, would be fooled.

"Don't worry, Uncle Lin, my enemy won't be able to find this place.

I was originally the legitimate son of the Jiang family in Ginkgo City. Because I accidentally revealed that I had the qualifications to cultivate to become an immortal, I was killed by the enemies of my Jiang family.

Fortunately, our Jiang family has a good foundation. At the critical moment, I used a secret treasure that could allow me to fake my death and escape from Ginkgo City and came to the vicinity of Hongye Village.

Nowadays, the enemies of my Jiang family all think that I am dead, and it is impossible for them to find this place.

The reason why I have been pretending to be mute for the past three months to test your character, Uncle Lin, is to judge whether you can be trusted.

After this period of contact, I can see that you, Uncle Lin, are a very kind-hearted person, so I decided to tell you my true situation. "

"Because you believed I was a good person after just a few months? Aren't you afraid that this is all a lie? Aren't you afraid that I might kill you?"

"No, I trust my judgment, and I believe Uncle Lin is also a smart man.

Someone like me, from a large family, was able to escape even the danger of the family being wiped out. Uncle Lin, do you think I might not have a trump card to survive in desperate situations? "

"Oh... is that so? But when I rescued you and brought you back to the village, I discovered that you had nothing on you except a precious robe and an empty pocket. Where did you get your trump card?"

“What kind of a trump card is it if it can be discovered so easily by outsiders?

Since Jiang has the guts to reveal his entire situation to you, Uncle Lin, today, he must be confident enough. I believe you should be able to understand this."

I heard Zhou Heng say this.

Lin Shan was silent.

Looking at the light stone used for lighting in the house.

After a long while, he closed his eyes slightly like an old monk in meditation and continued to ask:

"Tell me, what do you want to do? I've lived for almost fifty years, I'm not a fool.

Since you confided your situation to me, you must have some ulterior motive, otherwise you could just leave.

However, no matter what your plan is, if you dare to harm my Red Leaf Village, I will not let you go even if I die today."

Speaking of which.

Lin Shan's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide, and endless murderous light flashed in his eyes.

See this.

The smile on Zhou Heng's face faded, and he clasped his fists and replied with an extremely serious expression:

"Uncle Lin, don't worry. You and Red Leaf Village have saved my life. Even if I have a heartless heart, I have no intention of harming Red Leaf Village. My only wish is simple. I hope Uncle Lin can teach me the path of transformation."

"Teach you the path of transformation? Do I need to teach you?"

Lin Shan was quite surprised and asked in confusion.
