1082 The third mask.
His thoughts spun rapidly. Thinking of this, PEI Ling coughed again, as if he had exhausted too much of his mental energy. cough, cough, cough, cough …
He frowned as he saw more and more blood on his clothes. He didn’t know why The Pink Bride and ‘Yu’ had been fine ever since they entered the land of creation. On the other hand, he, the inheritor of the ‘curse’, was cursed.
He could feel that his condition was still getting worse, and it didn’t seem to ease even after taking off his mask. In order to prevent his illness from becoming completely incurable, he quickly lay down again and covered himself with the blanket.
The next moment, he fell asleep …
???
Embroidered tower.
The bead curtain was half rolled up, and the embroidered tent hung low.
All the red silk gold-filled cages had been opened, and all kinds of gorgeous dresses, jewelry, and women’s household items were scattered on the ground.
There was also a plate of precious agarwood that had been knocked over, and its rich and charming aura filled the entire Pavilion.
In the empty space of the boudoir, The Pink Bride’s narrow sleeves were rolled up. She was frowning and looking around, her eyes full of doubt.
That’s strange!
Where did PEI Ling’s white Day mask come from?
According to the clues she had now, only the maidservants who had been sacrificed could have the mask.
Furthermore, the maidservants would lose their masks during the day …
There was another thing. Last night, she had not recovered her Qi cultivation stage power and was locked in the room. When she was chased by the maidservant, she had to wear the mask of the maidservant to escape and leave embroidered tower.
The mask must be a very important clue!
At the thought of this, The Pink Bride’s brows furrowed even more. Right now, she only knew that the mask was very important, but she didn’t know the specific use of the mask, much less how to get it.
Other than the mask, she had obtained another important clue from her meeting with PEI Ling this time. It was the original owner’s memory!
Yes, so far, she had obtained several pieces of the original owner’s memory. Although they were basically trivial matters and she didn’t find any valuable clues, if this continued, she would gradually remember more about the faceless immortal, the sacrifice, and the secrets of the Xiao family.
The true fortune of the ‘curse’ must be inside!
“PEI Ling must have obtained part of Xiao Zheng’s memories, or he wouldn’t know so much.”
“But he didn’t tell me on purpose just now, and even asked me about Xiao Xiang ‘E’s memories …”
“He should know something, but not everything.”
“Hehehe … I don’t need to care about him. I’ll know more when I get all of Xiao Xiang ‘E’s memories!” He said.
At the thought of this, The Pink Bride took out the dagger used for sacrifice from her sleeve. The bright blade was like a mirror, reflecting her cold eyes.
A strange yet familiar memory once again appeared in her mind …
???
The wind blew into the Xiao mansion from all directions. The yellow leaves danced and circled in the sky. The Golden Crow moved from the East to the West. The light gradually faded and warmth spread.
As time passed, the last ray of the setting sun sank into the earth. Soon, dusk fell and it was night.
In the bedroom, the palace lanterns swayed gently, and a dim yellow light enveloped the entire room.
“Squeak.”
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a maidservant in an indigo dress quickly walked in.
Looking at her figure and actions, she was the maidservant who served during the day. However, she was wearing a mask that was as smooth as a mirror.
young master, young master … the maidservant’s voice was heard before she could turn the screen.
PEI Ling, who was in the tent, instantly sobered up. Just as he was about to sit up, he suddenly had an idea. He only put the mask on his face and continued to lie down, motionless.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the servant girl had already walked around the screen and came to PEI Ling’s bed.
young master … Young master … she called out twice again and reached out to lift the curtains. She saw the young master lying on his back on the bed with his eyes closed and his breathing calm. He seemed to be still asleep. She gently placed the medicine in her hand on the table not far away.
Buzzzzzz!
Immediately after, the maidservant pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and turned back to the bed, raising the sharp blade high.
In the half-rolled brocade tent, PEI Ling still did not have any reaction. Even his breathing was not the least bit disordered.
The servant girl stabbed down with the dagger!
Pfft!
The sharp blade of the dagger pierced through the layers of brocade clothing without any obstruction and stabbed deeply into PEI Ling’s chest.
Blood splattered everywhere, quickly soaking his clothes and bedding.
Seeing this scene, the maidservant suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly released the hand holding the handle of the dagger. She said in a panic, ” “Young, young master, I … I …”
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, the life force around PEI Ling’s body instantly dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, he was no different from a corpse.
The maidservant was stunned when she saw her young master being stabbed to death. However, a bloody, painful, resentful, and crazy memory began to appear in her mind …
The maidservant stood in front of the bed without moving, and a majestic hatred surged around her.
In the next moment, all this hatred was absorbed by the mask on her face. At the same time, blood tears began to flow from the eye area of the mask.
As if wiped away by an invisible force, the maidservant’s figure slowly disappeared.
Clang!
The maidservant had completely disappeared, and the mask that had lost its support fell to the ground.
At the same time, PEI Ling immediately opened his eyes and looked at the place where he had been stabbed. The dagger had disappeared without a trace, just like the maidservant.
When he stepped on it, only the mask with blood and tears was left.
PEI Ling sat up, picked up the mask, and immediately put it on.
This mask quickly merged smoothly with the previous mask. His vision blurred for a moment like smoke and clouds, and he suddenly saw a memory.
He was being dragged along the corridor by “young master Zheng.”
“Young master! Young master! I beg you to let me go … Let me go … I’ve served you for so many years … I beg you to take into account the fact that I have two elders and a younger brother and sister …”
“Young master, I’m willing to do anything for you. Please show mercy … Show mercy …” She begged.
A mournful cry for mercy resounded through the courtyard, but “young master Zheng” was not moved in the slightest, and even said with a smile,”Since you are willing to do anything for me, why are you still struggling now?”
“Everything that the Xiao clan has is a reward from the faceless great immortal.”
“As long as the offerings are prepared and great immortal is satisfied, great immortal will fulfill any of our wishes!”
“My Xiao clan’s wish is …”
… PEI Ling came back to his senses and saw shadows flickering all around him. The lights in the room seemed to have burned to the end and were getting darker.
His aura had already returned to the foundation establishment realm!
The blood and tears on the mask on his face became even clearer.
Under the mask, PEI Ling’s expression was solemn. The faceless great immortal, granting any wish … I wonder if that’s true?
The good fortune of the ‘curse’ was most likely hidden in it!
Thinking of this, he nodded slightly and said to himself, ” “It’s already night time, we can start work!”
With that, PEI Ling stood up and walked to the cabinet at the side. He quickly changed into a clean robe and walked out.
