Under the heavy eaves, the rows of iron horses did not move.
Carved carriages, embroidered railings, craggy lakes and rocks, flowers, trees, and leaves, the vast mansion was empty.
The entire residence was silent.
In one of the rooms in the backyard, a bean-like lamp illuminated the vague outlines of the surroundings.
The snow-green and golden mandarin ducks were playing with the water curtain, and the curtain was tightly closed. Between the five-colored Pearl-gathering Palace on both sides, a pair of Lotus-shaped tent hooks carved out of white jade were hanging quietly, casting long and sharp shadows under the light.
Under the curtains, PEI lingfei suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying on a gold-painted bed with an embroidered beech wood, Begonia flower, and a silk blanket with a Scarlet Phoenix and peony embroidered on it.
Just as he was about to use his divine sense to investigate, he suddenly felt that his body was empty. All his magic power had disappeared, and he had become a mortal!
After a brief moment of shock, PEI Ling immediately returned to his senses and quickly sized up his surroundings.
Through the snow-green curtain, he saw a black incense table with crane legs and elephant feet, inlaid with a Dragon and a Pearl pattern, and a Jade Palace lamp inlaid with Golden flower and bird patterns. Outside the palace lanterns, it seemed that in order to prevent disturbing the rest, a thick Jade gauze cover had been specially covered, filtering out most of the light, leaving only a little light.
A few steps away from the step-by-step bed, there were tables, chairs, clothes racks, screens, and other things. Against the wall, there was a treasure box with jade carvings, mountain stones, Four Treasures of the Study, bonsai, and other furnishings. The largest box had a long sword inlaid with gold.
At a quick glance, he only felt that there was a dazzling array of items, but it was not crowded and noisy. It could be seen that the items were carefully selected, and they complemented each other, making them quite elegant.
It looked like the bedroom of a rich young master in the secular world.
However, when PEI Ling's gaze turned to the window lattice opposite the treasure box, he immediately realized that all the windows were nailed shut by wooden boards, and not a single ray of light could enter.
He frowned slightly and looked at his hands. He soon realized that they were not his body!
The memory was still there, but the body had changed. Was this an illusion?
PEI Ling's mind was racing as he quickly called up the system interface in his mind.
The translucent dialog box quietly displayed his current situation:
[ name: PEI Ling.
[ Race: Human ]
Gender: Male
[ identity: the Saint of the heavy-weight sect. ]
[ stage: peak divine transformation realm ]
[ system status: activated ]
[ Dao companions: li lieyue, Yao qingying, Qiao ciguang, Ji Shuang 'er, Zhongkui Jingyi, Zhou Miaoli, Lin hanyan, Shen yinchen, Zhao Juanjuan, Chen jingmeng, pink bride ]
[ furnaces: Si Hong Qingqian, Yan mingchen, Wenren lingse ... ]
PEI Ling nodded slightly. The system should still be usable, but he did not know anything right now. If he let the system take over rashly, it would be no different from courting death. He had to collect clues first.
Thinking of this, he was ready to get out of bed, but just as he moved, his body suddenly felt sore and weak. His vision was blurry, and the feeling of weakness surged like a tide, as if his whole body could not use any strength.
This weak movement seemed to bring a little wind, causing the candlelight under the thick muslin cover to sway.
Suddenly, the shadows around him moved violently, as if countless sneaky things had been awakened. They were silent and ferocious.
After a difficult struggle, PEI Ling finally sat up from the bed. At this time, he was so tired that he was gasping for breath, and his body was covered in a layer of sweat.
This body was sickly!
At this moment, there was a creak from outside the screen. It seemed that someone had pushed the door open and entered.
PEI Ling frowned and immediately lay down. He even conveniently covered the curtain that had just been lifted, pretending to continue sleeping.
Soft footsteps were heard, and soon, a slender figure turned around the screen and entered the room.
The newcomer was a young girl who looked to be 16 or 17 years old. Her hair was tied up in two buns, and she wore a half-old blue dress embroidered with goose yellow flower patterns. On her slender wrist, she wore a silver bracelet as thick as a finger. She was dressed as a favored maid.
The young girl held a bowl of medicine in her hand. She seemed to be worried about spilling it, so she walked very slowly and carefully. The faint light of the lamp shone on her face, but it revealed a mask as smooth as a mirror.
The mask seemed to be made of steel, Black, cold, and smooth. It had no facial features or holes, making it extremely strange.
The shadow of the candle flickered, and the girl walked to the bedside, gently lifted the embroidered curtain, and looked inside.
Seeing that PEI Ling's eyes were tightly shut and he was lying under the blanket, seemingly still in deep sleep, the young lady called out softly, " "Young master, young master ..."
She called him a few times, but PEI Ling pretended to be asleep and had no intention of waking up.
Seeing this, the young girl turned around and placed the medicinal soup on the table not far away. Then, with a "Chi" sound, she took out a dagger from her sleeve and walked back to the bed.
During this process, the girl continued to call out softly, " "Young master, young master ..."
At this moment, PEI Ling suddenly coughed. &Quot; &Quot; cough, cough, cough, cough ... &Quot;
The young girl immediately put away her dagger.
Inside the tent, PEI Ling opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the young lady. He said weakly, " "Now ... What time is it?"
The young girl crossed her hands on her lower abdomen and replied respectfully, " "Young master, it's the ugly hour now. This servant has brought the medicine and will serve it to you now."
PEI Ling shook his head slightly and said,"I don't need to be served. Drink the medicine later." If there's nothing else, I'm going to sleep for a while. You can go down first."
"Yes!" The young girl immediately bent her knees and said.
&Quot; ta, ta, ta ... &Quot; with the same soft footsteps, she quickly walked out.
"Bang!"
The door closed, and PEI Ling was left alone in the room again.
PEI Ling's expression immediately turned cold. From the young lady's earlier behavior, he should be the young master of this family, and the other party was the servant girl who served him.
The servant girl wanted to assassinate him, the young master?
Why did the other party suddenly not dare to do so after he opened his eyes?
After all, he was extremely weak now, and his cultivation was nowhere to be found.
No matter what, he couldn't drink that bowl of medicine!
There was another point. This servant girl's other clothes were very normal, but the mask on her face was extremely strange. Furthermore, there were no holes at all. Her aura was only that of a mortal, so how could she move so normally?
As he was thinking, PEI Ling used all the strength in his body and struggled to sit up on the bed. After that, he flipped hard and finally sat up, leaning against the bed pillar.
&Quot; phew ... Phew ... Phew ... &Quot; PEI Ling was so tired that he was gasping for breath. He secretly circulated the [ bone forging technique ] and the [ sun corrosion secret record ], but they were of no use.
This place seemed to restrict the operation of cultivation techniques.
After resting for a while, PEI Ling regained some strength. He first held the edge of the bed and walked two steps. Seeing that his body could still support himself, he held the edge of the bed and walked towards the clothes rack.
On the hanger, there were a few robes, a robe, a belt, a sachet, a jade pendant, and so on.
In addition, she also wore a mask that was exactly the same as the maidservant's face.
PEI Ling held onto the clothes rack and rested for a while before picking up the robe on it and putting it on.
He had a mortal body now, and his body was so weak that he could not catch a cold.
After a full 30 minutes and a few breaks in between, PEI Ling finally put on all his clothes.
At this time, he panted a few times and looked at the mask that looked like a servant girl.
