In the darkness, the double-eave mountain top stood quietly, like a prostrating beast.
The arch looked like it was woven and embroidered, the pillars had coiling clouds, the colorful decorations were exquisite, seaweed patterns surrounded it, between the green and red pillars, there were shadows of a painting of rising clouds and Sunglow.
It was an ancestral hall.
In front of the gate, an ancient pine tree was planted. Its crown was like a canopy, towering and uneven, covering half of the courtyard.
At this moment, there was no one around.
Only in the ancestral hall, the five sons 'imperial examinations, and the continuous bamboo fans revealed a faint light.
A faint light was emitted from the table.
The gold-rimmed nanmu carved high table with the pattern of a hairpin, upturned head, and clouds had lost its fresh wood color in the passage of time. In its place was a slightly dark gentleness, which made it look more dignified and steady.
Two melon-style Palace lanterns were burning quietly.
The dim yellow light illuminated a simple-looking shrine at the head of the table.
The bead curtain was pulled up, and behind it was a human figure with no facial features and a face as smooth as a mirror.
The cold wind howled from all directions, passing through the courtyard and houses, the mournful sound intermittent.
Yu's eyes shot open. He moved his body and found his forehead pressed against the ground. The cold sensation seeped into his bones and his legs were numb. He could not feel anything.
He was kneeling on the ground!
Yu's brows furrowed, his originally sickly face was filled with confusion and he became even more depressed.
Then, he realized that his cultivation was gone!
Yu took a deep breath and sat up from the ground, carefully observing his surroundings.
What entered his eyes was a rather spacious hall. The surroundings were empty, and there was not much furniture. The most eye-catching thing was the offering table and the shrine.
Yu's gaze quickly fell on The Faceless God statue.
It was a man in plain clothes, wearing straw shoes, sitting cross-legged in the shrine. His face was empty, and there was nothing there. It was extremely strange.
After staring at the statue for a while, Yu's expression became serious. After thinking about it seriously, he knelt down in front of the statue again, ignoring his numb legs.
The ancestral hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle.
Time passed slowly. Outside the window, dark clouds surged away like a tide. Soon, the bright moon silently flowed down and scattered its light on the ground.
A cold wind blew, and the ancient pine trees swayed.
Some rotten silver dripped down from the branches and leaves, like frost and snow.
The cold and gentle moonlight shone through the pine branches and onto the door of the ancestral hall. The fan covered with Mulberry parchment gradually reflected a myriad of strange silhouettes.
These silhouettes quickly started to move, wander, and whisper to each other.
However, as if it was being restricted, the silhouette's range of movement never entered the ancestral hall.
※※※
The wind lanterns were emitting a dim and chaotic Halo.
A figure wearing brocade boots and an Iron Mask was staggering forward.
Outside the railing, the flowers and trees were scattered. From time to time, they would rise and fall with the cold wind, the leaves rustling, and there was a faint whimper between the rustling.
PEI Ling panted as he walked into a small garden.
Coming out of his room and out of the small courtyard, there was a deep path surrounded by flowers and trees. At the end of the path was an arched bridge made of white jade. Under the bridge, there was the sound of flowing water. It seemed like there were fish and snakes coming out of the water. In the night, it was impossible to identify the specific situation, only the sound of flowing water could be heard.
After crossing the bridge, there was a Moon Cave gate surrounded by stealing curved patterns.
Behind the door, there were many pavilions, fake mountains, ponds, Osmanthus trees, and orchids everywhere. It was like an extremely large backyard.
He was currently in one of the small gardens in the backyard.
Perhaps it was because it was late at night, but all the buildings were dark and there was no human voice.
However, in such a large house, he had not seen any guards, servants, or maidservants on his way here.
PEI Ling was puzzled, but because of his health, he could only sit on a stone bench in the small garden and catch his breath.
He had to find out who else was living in this house.
He was a young master, but if he was the only young Master in the House, it would be difficult for him to find any useful clues with the maidservant!
In addition to confirming the situation of the people living in the house, he also had to go to the residence of the master of the house to explore.
Under normal circumstances, the family head would know the most inside information about this kind of residence that obviously had a big problem!
However, he did not know if the owner of this house was Dead or Alive ...
The inheritance of 'curse' was divided into two parts. The first was the curse. The second is to fight for the Dao."
"The previous two 'curse' opportunities were similar."
"This great fortune will most likely not leave behind these two points."
&Quot; as long as I can find one or two safe rules, I can try to use the system ... &Quot;
As he was thinking, PEI Ling's body had also recovered some strength. He was about to continue forward when he suddenly heard a faint female voice."Miss, where are you ... Miss ..."
"Miss ..."
"Where are you ..."
"Miss ... Where are you ..."
Hearing this, PEI Ling immediately stood up and hid behind a large tree.
After a while, a maidservant with two straight buns and a blue embroidered dress with plum blossoms emerged from behind a flower tree.
On her face, she was also wearing a mask that seemed to be made of fine iron. As her skirt fluttered, a pair of exquisitely embroidered shoes were revealed.
The embroidered shoes had been soaked in many places by the night dew, and there were also many traces of grass.
The maidservant did not notice PEI Ling and looked around, searching for him. She called out " miss " as she headed in a certain direction.
PEI Ling immediately held his breath and focused. His mind was racing. This servant girl's voice was completely different from the one that had entered his room earlier. Although the two of them were dressed similarly, their figures and mannerisms were different. They were clearly not the same person.
However, he did not know that the young lady that this servant girl was looking for was the elder sister or younger sister of his current identity.
Or, she was also an outsider, for example, a pink bride!
PEI Ling was unable to determine the situation for a moment. As he watched the maidservant gradually disappear into the distance, he quickly pondered for a moment and decided to follow and see the situation.
If the young lady that the other party had found was really a pink bride, then the current situation was definitely a good thing for him!
Firstly, knowing the identity of The Pink Bride in advance would allow him to seize the initiative to a certain extent!
The second point was that at a critical moment, he could use the system to take over the six desires manual and use this dual cultivation technique to open up the situation.
Of course, he didn't dare to do this directly before he saw The Pink Bride and was not really forced into a desperate situation.
Because he wasn't sure if this was an illusion.
Once he was seized by the system, what would he do if the system gave him some messy things that could cost him his life?
At the thought of this, PEI Ling carefully followed.
