The clouds are low and the sky is dim.

Under the double eaves, rows of iron horses remained motionless.

There are carved embroidered sills, winding verandahs, rugged lake rocks standing at random, flowers, plants and trees with whirling branches and leaves, and the vast deep house compound is empty.

The whole mansion was silent.

In a certain room in the backyard, a lamp was like a bean, illuminating the shadowy outline of the surrounding area.

The snow-green and golden mandarin ducks play tents are tightly connected. Between the colorful beaded palace tapes on both sides, a pair of suet-fat jade open-cut tent hooks with entwining lotus branches and plum blossoms hang down quietly, dragging out long and sharp shadows under the light.

In the tent, Pei Ling suddenly opened his eyes and found that he was lying on a beech wood bed with begonia flowers and gold lacquer embroidered quilt, covered with a scarlet silk quilt embroidered with phoenix and peonies.

He was about to use his spiritual thoughts to explore, but suddenly he felt that his body was empty, all his magic power had disappeared, but he had become a mortal!

After a brief moment of shock, Pei Ling immediately came back to his senses and quickly looked at his surroundings.

Through the snow-green curtain, one can see a black lacquered incense table with mother-of-pearl and dragon playing with pearls inlaid with cranes' legs and elephant trunks placed beside the bed. Above it is a jade palace lantern with wood veneer and gold inlay with bird patterns. Outside the palace lantern

, it seems that in order to prevent disturbing the rest, a thick green gauze cover was specially put on, filtering out most of the light, leaving only a slight bright color to escape.

A few steps away from the bed, there are tables, chairs, clothes racks, screens and other items. Against the wall, there is also a treasure box with jade carvings, mountain stones, four treasures of the study, bonsai and other furnishings. The largest one

Grid is a long sword gilded with treasures.

At a quick glance, I can only feel that it is dazzling but not crowded or noisy. It can be seen that the objects are carefully selected and set off each other, which is quite elegant.

It looks like a bedroom belonging to a rich man from a secular world.

However, when Pei Ling turned his eyes to the window lattice opposite Baibaoge, he immediately discovered that all the windows were nailed shut with wooden boards, completely blocking out any light.

He frowned slightly, looked at his hands, and soon discovered that they were not his body!

The memory is still there, but the body has changed. Is this an illusion?

Pei Ling thought quickly in his mind and quickly called up the system interface in his mind.

The translucent dialog box quietly showed his current situation:

[Name: Pei Ling.

Race: Human race.

Gender: Male.

Identity: The Holy Son of Chongming Sect.

Realm: Peak of Divine Transformation.

System status: Activated.

Taoist couple: Li Lieyue, Yao Qingying, Qiao Ciguang, Ji Shuang'er, Zhong Kui Jingyi, Zhou Miaoli, Lin Hanyan, Shen Yinchen, Zhao Juanjuan, Chen Jingmeng, Pink Bride...

Furnace: Si Hongqingyan, Yan Minghua, Wenren Lingse...]

[Select a skill], [Select a spell], [Select a magical power], [Select a duration], [One-click practice].

The system interface is normal.

Pei Ling nodded slightly. The system should still be usable, but now he doesn't know anything. Letting the system be managed rashly is tantamount to courting death. He still needs to collect clues first.

Thinking of this, he was about to get out of bed, but as soon as he made a move, his body suddenly felt sore and weak, and a blur appeared in front of his eyes. The feeling of weakness was like a surging tide, and it seemed that his whole body could not exert any strength.

This weak movement seemed to stir up some wind noise, causing the candlelight in the thick gauze cover to sway.

Suddenly, the shadows around him violently tugged, as if countless sneaky things were awakened, making no sound.

After a hard struggle, Pei Ling finally turned over and sat up from the bed. By this time, he was panting from exhaustion and was sweating all over his body.

This body is a sick man!

At this moment, there was a "squeak" outside the screen, as if someone pushed the door open and entered.

Pei Ling frowned and immediately lay down. He also covered the tent he had just opened and pretended to continue to sleep soundly.

"Tap, step, step..."

Subtle footsteps sounded, and soon, a slender figure turned around the screen and walked into the room.

The visitor is a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a double bun, wearing a half-worn indigo blue dress with embroidered goose yellow twig patterns. On her thin wrist, she wears a finger-thick bracelet.

Silver bracelets are the attire of a favored maid.

The girl was holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, as if she was worried about spilling it, so she walked slowly and cautiously. The subtle light shone on her face, but it suddenly revealed a mask as smooth as a mirror.

The texture of the mask seemed to be iron, dark and cold, polished smooth, without any facial features or holes, making it look extremely strange.

The candle shadow swayed, and the girl walked to Babu's bedside, gently lifted up the embroidered curtain, and looked inside.

Seeing that Pei Ling's eyes were closed and he was lying under the quilt, seemingly still asleep, the girl softly called out: "Master, Master..."

He called several times in succession, but Pei Ling kept pretending to be asleep and showed no intention of waking up.

Seeing this, the girl turned around and put the decoction on the table not far away. Then with a "clang" sound, she pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and walked towards the bedside step by step again.

During this process, the girl continued to call softly: "Master, Master..."

At this moment, Pei Ling suddenly coughed: "Cough cough cough cough..."

The girl immediately put away the dagger.

In the tent, Pei Ling opened his eyes in a daze, looked at the girl, and said in a weak voice: "Now... what time is it?"

The girl folded her hands on her lower abdomen and replied respectfully: "Master, now is the time to be ugly. The maid has brought the medicine and I will serve you now."

Pei Ling shook his head slightly and said, "I don't need service. I can drink the medicine later. If it's okay, I want to sleep for a while. You go down first."

The girl immediately knelt down and said, "Yes!"

"Tap, tap, tap..." Following the same subtle footsteps as before, she quickly walked out.

"Bang."

The door closed, and Pei Ling was the only one left in the room.

Pei Ling's face suddenly turned cold. Judging from the girl's behavior just now, he should be the young master of this family, and the other party was the maid serving him.

The maid wants to assassinate her young master?

Why did the other person suddenly not dare to do it after he opened his eyes?

After all, he is extremely weak now, and all his cultivation skills are nowhere to be found.

No matter what, you can’t drink that bowl of medicine!

Another point is that the rest of this maid's clothes are normal, but the mask on her face is extremely weird. Moreover, there are no holes, and her aura is just that of a mortal. How can she act as usual?

While thinking about it, Pei Ling used all his strength to struggle to sit up from the bed. Then he turned over hard and finally sat up against the bedpost.

"Huh...huh...huh..." Pei Ling gasped from exhaustion for a while. He secretly ran the [Bone Forging Technique] and the [Secret Record of the Eclipse], but they were of no use.

It seems that the operation of exercises is prohibited here.

After resting for a while, Pei Ling regained some strength. He first held on to the edge of the bed and walked two steps. Seeing that his body could still support it, he held on to the bedside and walked towards the clothes rack.

On the hangers, there are a few scattered robes, outer robes, belts, sachets, pendants, etc. which are very complete.

In addition, there is also a mask hanging on the face that is exactly the same as the maid's face.

Pei Ling held the clothes hanger and rested for a while, then picked up the robe on it and put it on herself.

He is now in mortal form, and his body is so weak that he cannot catch cold at all.

It took a full two-quarters of an hour, with several breaks in between, before Pei Ling finally put on all his clothes.
Chapter completed!
