Chapter 65: The Faceless Immortal.
There are rows of red columns and uneven green tiles.
A cluster of red bananas stretched out from the outside of the beauty into the corridor. When the wind passed by, Pingting looked graceful.
Pei Ling walked slowly behind the guard.
The two of them had just walked out of a moon cave door when he suddenly said: "Master, why are you looking for me?"
The guard replied: "As for the young master, I didn't say anything, and my subordinates don't know very well."
Hearing this, Pei Ling nodded slightly. The guard didn't know. Maybe he didn't want to say it, or maybe it was something more important. The master didn't say a word, so the other party really didn't know.
With his mind spinning, he then asked: "Besides me, is there anyone else who wants to go there?"
The guard said this time: "There are also Master Meng and Miss Xiang'e."
Miss Xiang'e?
Didn't the other party disappear last night?
As for the "Mr. Meng", Pei Ling had no clues and was completely unable to determine the identity of the other party.
However, this time, in addition to himself, the people who entered the place left by the "curse" were the Pink Bride, "Yu" and Tannu. If the "Miss Xiang'e" was the Pink Bride, then the rest
"Master Meng", is he "Yu" or a greedy slave?
Or is it that the other two young masters and ladies in this house are not "Yu", a greedy slave and a pink bride?
With this in mind, Pei Ling continued to ask: "Has anything unusual happened at home recently?"
The guard shook his head and said, "As far as I'm concerned, young master, no. Everything is normal at home."
While the two were talking, they passed through several more courtyards.
There are sparse vegetation along the way, the houses are neat and colorful, and they are decorated with gold and inlaid with treasures, making it look extremely luxurious and elegant.
However, I didn't meet anyone along the way.
The whole house was silent, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty courtyard.
After a while, a spacious and gorgeous building appeared in front of me. Judging from the regulations, it was the main hall.
"Master, the master is inside." The guard said, but had no intention of going in. Instead, he walked to the corridor and stood there.
Pei Ling glanced at the ajar door, walked forward alone, opened the door and entered.
In front of me is a marble screen with 20% off four-season flowers, figures, inlaid with mica and pearls, and engraved curly grass patterns. The screen is complicated and gorgeous, with a height and width of more than ten feet, blocking most of the skylight.
After turning around the screen, the light quickly dimmed, leaving me with a dark, depressing feeling.
The scarlet ground tangled crocus pattern carpet is almost an inch thick, and when you set foot on it, you feel as if you are stepping on soft clouds.
The first one is an ivory carved landscape hall, with fruits and flowers placed on the altar.
On a rosewood inlaid Taishi chair, a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty years old was sitting upright. His beard reached to his chest, his face was square, and he looked calm and intimidating.
Apart from that, there was no one else in the entire main hall.
I also knew that this person must be the "master" the guard mentioned.
So, Pei Ling immediately stepped forward and saluted him: "My child has seen his father."
The master nodded slightly, played with a pair of iron gall bladders in his hands, and said, "Sit down first."
Pei Ling sat down as promised. After sitting down, he saw that the master didn't say much, so he knew that he was probably waiting for "Master Meng" and "Miss Xiang'e" to arrive.
He maintained a respectful posture and thought to himself that if nothing unexpected happened, everything that happened last night should be the most basic test of the "curse".
If you can't survive even this night, you won't be qualified to inherit the other person's next fortune!
And coming over to see this master now is probably the beginning of the real show.
Just as he was thinking about it, the master suddenly asked: "Zheng'er, how did you sleep last night?"
Pei Ling said cautiously: "My father is worried about the baby. He slept well."
When the master heard this, his expression on his face did not change. He only nodded slightly and then fell silent.
As the two fell silent, the main hall gradually became audible.
The depressing feeling caused by the dim light became even heavier.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then, a slender and delicate figure turned around the screen and walked into the main hall.
After the pink bride entered, her eyes immediately fell on Pei Ling and the master, observing them calmly.
When Pei Ling saw a strange girl with an oval face and beautiful features coming in, he immediately knew that this must be the "Miss Xiang'e" the guard just mentioned. Moreover, the other party's current reaction was probably that of the pink bride!
After all, if it was "Xiang'e" herself, she must be very familiar with the family members, and it would be impossible to look at him and the master with such cautious and wary eyes.
Thinking of this, Pei Ling's face showed no abnormality at all. He just glanced at the pink bride casually and began to close his eyes to rest, as if he was just an ordinary patient who was unable to greet his family.
At this time, the master said: "Sit down."
After hearing this, the pink bride walked to a seat not far away and sat down.
None of the three people spoke anymore, and the main hall fell silent again.
After a while, a man in rich clothes walked in with a steady pace. After "Yu" entered the door, he saw the three people who arrived first, who were almost the same as the pink bride before. They didn't say anything until the master asked them to sit down.
Seeing this scene, Pei Ling gradually felt confident.
This "Master Meng" is probably one of the "Yu" or greedy slaves.
However, he is still not sure who it is.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the master had no intention of wasting time, and immediately said: "My ancestor, Xiao, was just a commoner, working in the countryside and doing nothing."
"The reason why I am now rich and enjoy unimaginable wealth is because my ancestors worshiped the Faceless Immortal by chance."
"The great immortal has vast supernatural powers, is compassionate and makes our clan prosperous."
"Over the years, I, Mr. Xiao, have always been successful in everything I do."
"Everyone who dares to hinder my family has their wives and children separated, their families destroyed, and even their bodies are gone!"
"We, the Xiao clan, must remember the great immortal's grace and never forget it."
Having said this, the master paused for a moment, and then said: "I have called you three here so that you can prepare the sacrifices for the next sacrifice."
"The requirements for sacrifices are still the same as before."
"Only by continuing to offer sacrifices like this, can our Xiao family continue to prosper, or even go further!"
"If the sacrifice is not prepared, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"You three, please don't be careless or neglect the Great Immortal. Do you understand!?"
Faceless Immortal?
Sacrifice?
Pei Ling frowned and secretly glanced at "Miss Xiang'e" and "Master Meng".
But he saw that "Miss Xiang'e" was similar to him, with doubts in her eyes, and she obviously didn't know what the Faceless Immortal was.
But "Master Meng" didn't seem to be surprised by this. There was a lingering depression in his expression, as if there was nothing worthy of joy in the world, and he was depressed from beginning to end.
