I Just Want To Be Quiet

The clouds were low and the sky was dim.

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

There are carved and embroidered thresholds, winding corridors, rugged lakes and rocks strewn together, flowers, trees, and branches and leaves, and the vast deep house compound is empty.

The whole mansion was silent.

In a room in the backyard, a light like a bean, illuminating the shadowy outline of the surroundings.

The snow-blue frowning golden mandarin ducks play in the water and the tents are tightly stitched. Between the multicolored zuanzhu palaces on both sides, a pair of open-carved sheep tallow jade hooks hang down quietly, dragging a narrow and sharp shadow under the lights.

In the tent, Pei Lingji suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying on a golden lacquer bed with beech embroidered quilt, covered with a scarlet embroidered phoenix peony silk quilt.

He was about to sacrifice his mind to investigate, and suddenly felt that his body was empty, all mana had disappeared, but he became a mortal!

After a brief consternation, Pei Ling immediately recovered and quickly looked at the surrounding environment.

Through the snow-blue tent, there is a black lacquer inlaid snail, dragon, and beaded incense table with crane legs and elephant noses standing beside Babu's bed, on which is a wooden jade palace lantern with gold intarsia and bird patterns. Outside the palace lanterns, it seems that in order to prevent disturbing the rest, a thick green gauze cover was specially covered to filter out most of the light, leaving only a little bright color to escape.

A few steps away from the Babu bed, there are tables and chairs, hangers, screens and other things. On the wall, there is also a Baibao grid, which has jade carvings, rocks, four treasures of the study, and bonsai, the largest one. The grid is a long sword with gilt inlays.

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

It looks like a bedroom for a rich man of the world.

However, when Pei Ling's gaze turned to the window lattice opposite Baibaoge, he immediately found that all the windows were nailed to death by wooden boards, and no light could penetrate at all.

He frowned slightly, looked at his hands, and quickly realized that this was not his body!

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

Peiling thought quickly in her mind, and quickly called up the system interface in her mind.

The translucent dialog box quietly shows his current situation:

【Name: Pei Ling.

Race: Terran.

Sex: Male.

Identity: Son of Chongmingzong.

Realm: the pinnacle of transforming gods.

System status: activated.

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

Furnace tripod: Si Hongqing, Yan Mingyu, Wen Ren Lingse...]

[Select exercise method], [Select spell], [Select magic power], [Select duration], [One-key practice].

The system interface is business as usual.

Pei Ling nodded slightly, the system should still be usable, but now she doesn't know anything, and arbitrarily letting the system be hosted is no different from looking for death, so she still has 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 a faintness appeared before his eyes. The feeling of weakness was like a rushing tide, and it seemed that his whole body was unable to exert himself.

This faint movement seemed to have caused a little wind, which caused the candlelight in the thick gauze cover to flicker.

Suddenly, the surrounding shadows violently tugged, as if countless sneaky things were awakened, silent and hideous.

After a hard struggle, Peiling finally got out of the bed and sat up. At this time, he was panting with exhaustion, and was sweating all over.

This body is sick!

At this moment, outside the screen, there was a squeak, as if someone pushed the door in.

Peiling frowned, lay down immediately, and concealed the tent that had just been opened, pretending to continue to sleep soundly.

"Tread, step, step..."

The sound of subtle footsteps sounded, and soon a slender figure turned the screen and walked into the room.

The visitor was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with a double bun, and a half-old indigo blue dress with embroidered yellow folds. On her svelte wrist, she was wearing a thin-finger-sized one. The silver bracelet is the dress of the favored maid.

Holding a bowl of medicine in her hands, the girl seemed to be worried about spilling. She walked very slowly and cautiously. The subtle lights shone on her face, but she shined a smooth mask like a mirror.

The texture of the mask seemed to be iron, dark and cold, polished smoothly, without any facial features, nor any holes, it looked very strange.

The candle shadow shook, and the girl walked to the bank of Babu's bed, gently picked up a thread of embroidered tent, and looked inward.

Seeing Peiling's eyes closed tightly, lying in the quilt, as if still asleep, the girl whispered: "Master, Master..."

After calling several times, Pei Ling kept pretending to be asleep and didn't mean to wake up at all.

Upon seeing this, the girl turned around and put the soup medicine on the table not far away. With a "knock" afterwards, she grabbed a dagger from her sleeve and walked toward the bed again step by step.

During this process, the girl continued to whisper: "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 her eyes in a daze, looked at the girl, and said weakly, "Now... when is it?"

The girl folded her lower abdomen with her hands and replied respectfully: "Master, it's ugly now. The maidservant brought the medicine, and she will serve you now."

Pei Ling shook her head slightly and said, "I don't need to serve, medicine, and drink it myself later. If it's okay, I will sleep for a while, you go down first."

The girl immediately bent her knees and said: "Yes!"

"Tread, step, step..." She walked out quickly with the slight sound of footsteps that was the same when she came.

"boom."

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

Pei Ling's complexion suddenly became cold. Judging from the young girl's performance just now, she should be the young master of this family, and the other party is the maid serving him.

The maid wants to assassinate her young master?

Why did the other party suddenly not dare after opening his eyes?

After all, he is extremely weak now, and he has nowhere to go in his cultivation.

No matter what, that bowl of medicine, can't drink it!

There is another point. The other dresses of this maid are normal, but the mask on her face is extremely weird. Moreover, she has no holes, and her breath is just a mortal. How does she act as usual?

While thinking about it, Peiling exhausted all his strength, struggling to sit up from the bed, then turned over hard, finally sat up against the bedpost.

"Huh...huh...huh..." Pei Ling was so tired that he panted for a while, and he ran the [Bone Forging Technique] and [Eclipse Secret Record] secretly, but they were of no use.

It seems that the operation of exercises is prohibited here.

After resting for a while, Peiling regained some strength. He first took two steps with the edge of the bed. Seeing that the body was still able to support, he supported the bed and walked towards the clothes hanger.

On the hanger, there are a few gowns scattered around, including outer robes, belts, sachets, jewels, and so on.

In addition, there was a mask exactly like the face of the maid.

Peiling held on to the hanger and rested for a while, then picked up the upper robe and put it on herself.

He is a mortal body now, so weak that he can't catch cold at all.

It took a full two quarters of an hour, and several rests in between, Pei Ling finally put on all the clothes.

At this time, he took a few breaths and looked at the mask like the maid.
