Chapter 64: The master has his life.
So far, Pei Ling knows almost nothing about the chance of the "curse" being left in Yousu Tomb.
If there's nothing wrong with these meals, that's certainly best.
But if there is any problem, he will not hesitate at all!
Yes, no matter what exercises or spells are entrusted, as long as he is poisoned or has any other abnormal situation, the system will give priority to helping him solve his physical problems.
This is also his trump card for daring to eat directly.
The palace lantern burns quietly, occasionally bursting into brilliant lanterns.
In the tranquility, time passes unconsciously.
Pei Ling has never noticed any problems with his body. On the contrary, because of eating, his overall condition is much better than before.
He began to walk around the house, inspecting it carefully.
However, this seems to be just an ordinary rich man's bedroom. There are no secrets or clues in the objects on the shelf, in the cabinets, on the walls, under the bed, etc.
The only thing that arouses suspicion is the nailed-down window.
Pei Ling tried it, and found that the wooden boards of the windows were nailed very firmly. In his current situation, it was impossible to open them.
Moreover, he still doesn't know the consequences of doing this.
So after just a little trial and error, I stopped fussing.
An hour later.
There were subtle footsteps outside the door, and then the door was knocked gently, and the maid's voice sounded: "Master, are you okay? Can the maid come in and serve you now?"
Pei Ling said calmly: "Okay, come in."
"Squeak."
The door opens.
The maid walked in quickly, quickly cleaned up the dishes, put the sundries into the food box, wiped the table quickly, and then left.
Pei Ling sat alone in the room, deep in thought.
The people in this house wear masks at night, but show their true colors during the day.
In addition, there is no problem with food delivered after dawn. It is much safer during the day than at night!
Thinking of this, he stood up and walked directly to the door.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a tall and energetic middle-aged guard standing outside. When he saw Pei Ling coming out, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, I have ordered you to go to the main hall now."
Pei Ling's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at him and saw that he had a square face and was not wearing a mask. He nodded slowly and said, "Okay."
The guard immediately turned around and led the way, with Pei Ling following closely behind.
…
An embroidered building with carved beams and painted beams and half-rolled bead curtains.
In the flower hall of Jinping's golden tent, untouched meals are placed on a round table with huanghuali inlaid marble and engraved phoenixes and peonies.
"Puff puff puff!"
The dull sound kept ringing.
Blood splatters!
Like a blooming mandala.
The pink bride was holding a long red gold hairpin, and she was piercing it into the heart and neck of a maid who was wearing a bun.
The maid's head and face were covered with blood, her eyes were wide open, there was a growling sound in her throat, and she gradually lost her breath.
The pink bride stabbed her dozens more times to make sure that the girl was already dead, and then she tiredly sat down on the chair next to her.
The pink bride looked expressionlessly at the corpse in front of her that was not cold yet. This was the maid who had been looking for her last night!
Although the other party is not wearing a mask now, she recognizes his voice!
Now that the trouble has been eliminated, I am safe for the time being.
Thinking of this, the pink bride looked at the food on the table and snorted coldly.
These delicacies are not as delicious as that of the newly deceased maid.
After resting for a while, the pink bride had recovered enough strength. She walked to the maid's body, dipped her fingers into some of the other's heart blood, brought it to her lips, stretched out her lilac tongue and licked it, but soon it was over.
I felt nauseated and immediately vomited it out!
The pink bride frowned, this body is really troublesome!
She no longer tried to eat, but rolled up her sleeves, pulled the corpse's bun, and dragged it out of the flower hall, broke through the partition bead curtain, and entered the inner boudoir.
This boudoir is not a small place, but there are not many household items, just a bed, a few cabinets and a few cabinets.
The pink bride didn't hesitate at all, pushed the body under the bed, smoothed the bed cover, and pulled it up.
Immediately afterwards, she walked to the cupboard, opened the cupboard door, took out a set of clean dresses, and changed all the blood-stained dresses on her body. Then she found a few blankets from under the cupboard and spread them on the blood-stained clothes.
On the ground, covering up traces.
After doing all this, she went out directly without touching the food on the table.
As soon as I walked out of the embroidery building, I saw a guard with gray hair and beard standing not far away. When the guard saw the pink bride, he immediately bowed and saluted, and said: "Miss, the master has asked you to go to the hall."
The pink bride looked cold and asked in a faint tone: "Did you hear anything just now?"
The guard shook his head and said: "My pardon, Miss, I didn't hear anything just now."
The pink bride stared at him for a moment, nodded slightly, and then said, "Take me to the hall."
…
Ancestral hall.
On the confession table, the candlelight flickered slowly.
After the dim light lasted for a long time, it seemed to be tired and began to fade away slowly.
Instead, it was the skylight shining in from the window lattice behind me.
The original darkness and confusion dissipated little by little, and the appearance of the entire ancestral hall was revealed to the eyes in a clearer manner.
The Zhuzhu colorful decorations are bathed in the morning light, and each stroke reveals more and more exquisite details.
The paintings on the walls are elegant, complex and continuous, seeming to tell the story of the glorious glory of the ancestors.
In the hall, "Yu", who was still kneeling with his whole body on the ground, suddenly raised his head.
But above the confession case, the bead curtain in front of the shrine had fallen down at some point, blocking the view. The shadows of the gods behind the curtain were indistinct.
"Yu" was thoughtful, then put his hands on the ground and planned to get up directly.
However, due to kneeling for too long, his legs and feet were numb, and he couldn't stand up even after trying several times.
He had to change his posture first, from kneeling to sitting. Soon, his legs felt sore and numb as if they were eaten by insects.
After resting for a while, "Yu" could finally get up.
He moved his hands and feet, and after confirming that he could move as usual, he walked outside.
After exiting the gate, there is a wide courtyard, with ancient pines overhead like a canopy, and the lush branches and leaves cover most of the courtyard, filtering out a bit of coldness from the originally gentle and warm morning light.
The damp and cold morning breeze blew by, blowing away a piece of fine pine needles.
Amidst the rustling sound, the unique fragrance of pine wood spreads.
Not far away, stood a short guard with a straight back. When he saw "Yu" coming out, he immediately stepped forward to salute and said in a deep voice: "Master, I want you to go to the hall."
"Yu" nodded, and then said: "Lead the way ahead."
The guard bowed and said: "Yes!"
As he spoke, he turned around and led the way.
Chapter completed!
