Chapter 123: Conspiracy
It was already night outside, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse tonight, and there were not many guests in Fengmanlou. Xiao Chen followed Yaoji to the outside of the main building, passed through several gardens, and came to a quiet palace.
This place is much colder than other places in Fengmanlou, and there are more than a dozen red lanterns hanging in front of the palace, swaying in the wind. There are several lotus ponds nearby, and the white lotuses in the pond are in full bloom against the moon, and they are floating in the wind. Array of fragrance.
"Sir, please."
With a smile on her face, Yao Ji reached out and said "please". The two came under the red lantern. Yao Ji took a step forward, cupped her hands and said, "Master, Mr. Xiao is here."
"kindness……"
A slightly lazy female voice came from the hall, "Please step back."
"yes."
Yao Ji cupped her hands, then stepped back and gradually disappeared under the night. ♦
After a long time, the faint voice of the Rakshasa heroine was heard again in the palace: "You are so exposed outside, why did Mr. Xiao stop moving forward?"
He dared to brave mountains of swords and seas of fire, so how could he not dare to enter a palace at this moment?
Xiao Chen then walked into the palace. As soon as he entered, he smelled a faint fragrance. He saw that the furnishings in the palace were simple and elegant, but it was a place where women lived. There were no dazzling and dazzling things.
Walking further inside, under the dim candlelight, you can vaguely see a curtain of gauze swaying in the wind, and behind the gauze is a beauty couch, with a beautiful woman lying on her side.
Even though it was only the dim light of a candle, it could not hide the woman's peerless beauty.
A gust of breeze blew up the thin gauze, and the woman was seen with icy muscles and jade bones, leaning on one hand, lying on her side on the beauty couch, watching Xiao Chen slowly approach with unblinking eyes.
If Weiyang is said to be an immortal descended from heaven, whom one can only watch from a distance without daring to blaspheme, then the woman in front of her is that alluring enchantress. She is so beautiful that one can be fascinated by her just by looking at her.
Xiao Chen stopped when he was still a few feet away from Qingsha. It was not that he was afraid of the frightening Rakshasa heroine in front of him, but that she was only wearing a Qingluo Xiaoshang at the moment, and it would be unavoidable to get closer. Seems a bit rude.
"You are a disciple of Fairy Miaoyin of the Xuanqing Sect, and your future is boundless, but I heard... two years ago, you did not hesitate to betray the sect, cut off your own meridians, and jump off a cliff for a woman from the Demon Cult. Nascent Soul was destroyed at that time."
The Rakshasa heroine looked at him and said with a half-smile.
"The Rakshasa Mistress asked Xiao to come tonight. I don't think it's about these insignificant things."
Xiao Chen looked at her motionless, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. Wei Young is not a demon sect woman, and he has not betrayed the master as outsiders say, but these things...how can they be justified by outsiders?
Those who understand will naturally understand. For those who don’t understand, what’s the use of talking more?
"That's all, this is a matter for your Immortal Yuan Five Realms, what does it have to do with this palace?"
The Rakshasa heroine smiled softly, sat up slowly, looked at him and said, "Your Yue Youshi has already told me about your Nascent Soul. It is not difficult to condense your Nascent Soul for you. It's just that here Before……"
When she said this, she stopped and looked carefully at the changes in the expression on Xiao Chen's face. However, there was no change in Xiao Chen's face from beginning to end. He said calmly, "Each takes what he needs, each seeks his own benefit..." ...The Rakshasa heroine says it’s okay.
"I want you to go to Wuji Palace and retrieve something for me."
At this moment, the eyes of the Rakshasa heroine suddenly became a little sharp. The things she said were obviously inevitable for her.
Xiao Chen said, "There are so many masters in Fengmanlou, and the Wuji Palace is unfathomable. If even the many peerless masters under the Rakshasa Mistress can't get something like that from the Wuji Palace, how can Xiao have the ability to get it back?"
The Rakshasa heroine shook her head and smiled, "There is a saying in the Five Realms of your Immortal Yuan, which is that you should never underestimate yourself in everything. Two years ago, Mr. Xiao became famous in the Five Realms. Isn't it in line with this sentence? And for such things, there are only Only Mr. Xiao has the ability to obtain it.”
"interesting……"
Xiao Chen smiled coldly, and at this moment, there was a slight change in his eyes. He didn't know what it was that she wanted to go to the Wuji Palace to get. He said lightly, "I would like to hear the details."
The Rakshasa heroine smiled and slowly walked out of the gauze. She saw her bare feet and flawless jade-like skin, exuding a faint fragrance. Everywhere on her body was stunningly beautiful. People suffocate.
If Xiao Chen hadn't devoted himself to training at Zixiao Peak, if he hadn't met Wei Young, if his temperament hadn't become increasingly cold recently, it would have been hard not to be moved by this peerless and alluring woman in front of him at this moment.
The Rakshasa heroine slowly walked up to him, smiled sweetly, and gently placed her slender jade fingers on his face. "Master, do you know what is the most different between you and other men in this world? It's the way you look at me. The eyes are always so cold..."
Xiao Chen slowly stretched out his hand, separated her hands, and said calmly, "I think this does not affect the things that the Rakshasa Girl asked me to retrieve."
"hehe……"
The Rakshasa heroine covered her mouth and smiled, "He is really an interesting little guy, that's all, I won't tease you anymore." When she said this, she turned around and continued, "Young Master Xiao must have understood the meaning of the Book of Heaven. 'Manipulation of life and death'."
"how?"
Xiao Chen looked at her, his face still lukewarm.
The Rakshasa heroine turned around, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in that heavenly book at all. After all, not everyone has the fortune of a young master. Even the founder of the demonic path Tianxin spent his whole life, It’s just the tip of the iceberg that is revealed in the Book of Heaven.”
"So."
"Why don't you listen to me first?"
The Rakshasa heroine looked at him with her beautiful eyes, paused for a while, and then continued, "The thing I want is the first volume of the 'Tianzong Volume', which is hidden by Yi Wuji in his Senluo Hall, and no one can enter the Senluo Hall except Master Xiao."
This time, Xiao Chen did not continue to ask, just listened to her finish her words.
"Yi Wuji is good at a Beiyang evil magic, which can sacrifice living people to become his puppets. This kind of puppet is immortal, uses resentment as power, lives on death, is invulnerable to swords and guns, and is called 'corpse puppets'."
The more the Rakshasa heroine spoke, the more serious her face became, and continued, "This kind of corpse puppet will definitely attack once it smells the breath of a living person, and once the corpse puppet attacks, it will definitely alarm Yi Wuji, but..."
She stopped again at this point, and Xiao Chen had roughly guessed something.
She continued, "But Master Xiao has mastered the control of life and death. A breath of death can be generated in your body. After you sneak in, you only need to release this breath of death a little bit, and those corpses will not attack you. You can enter the Senluo Palace smoothly, as if you were in an empty place."
"Is it that simple?"
"Of course it's more than that."
The Rakshasa lady smiled and said, "Do you think Yi Wuji is so easy to deal with? Fortunately, on the fifteenth of next month, the three major forces will have a Dingfeng meeting. You go back tonight. The night before the Dingfeng meeting, you come here again. I will give you a complete plan."
"In this case, Xiao bids farewell."
Xiao Chen did not stay any longer and turned to go outside. The Rakshasa lady looked at his back and smiled.
Back in the attic, the moonlight was cold. Xiao Chen sat by the window sill, looking at the faint black air in his palm. Why did he have a breath of death in his body?
If in the future... Weiyang saw me now, would she... still like me?
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen closed his eyes, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to fall into the nightmare that had lasted for a long time. In the dream, blood flowed like a river, corpses piled up under his feet, and his hands were covered with blood...
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and at this moment, his back was soaked with cold sweat. At that moment, a strange thought flashed through his mind.
Is the real me... actually dead a long time ago?
