Brave the world of self-cultivation with the aura of Jack Su

Chapter 31 The Hidden Identity of the Snake Demon

The woman sitting next to Liu Piaopiao started chatting with her as the center.

"I've always heard about the fairy elders before, but today is the first time I have the honor to witness it."

"Yeah, it's really shocking."

"This is really a joke. They are called Immortal Heads, so aren't they Immortals?"

"Hahahaha, indeed."

The woman in white was observing the nobles present, but her heart was on the young man.

She was worried that the banquet would be tampered with by people lurking in the palace, so she followed the banquet.

The young man went to check, but those who were invited but didn't come, to find out who was the most suspicious.

"Immortal Head, are all the female immortals as beautiful as you, youthful and not old?" asked a very gorgeous woman, and it was obvious that she cared about her appearance.

Liu Piaopiao cast his gaze over and said: "Not necessarily, this has something to do with being born, but according to what I have read, it is difficult for Xianxiu to meet ugly people, and it is not that they will not grow old, but old ones Slow, unless you ascend, you will live forever and your face will not change.

Another way is to take the elixir that freezes the appearance. "

After the foundation is established, the lifespan will be extended, and the appearance will basically not change much. It will not gradually appear old until the Yangshou is approaching. If you don't want to grow old, you have to keep practicing and upgrading.

Hearing that there is a elixir that can freeze the appearance, the concubines are all excited.

If they can enter the palace, none of them are ugly, and there are even a few of them who are extremely good-looking.

No one wants to grow ugly wrinkles on their face, and the elixir that fixes the appearance is very tempting to them.

There was a woman touching her face, which was full of fascination.

Even though they were destined to be Qingdeng Ancient Buddhas for the rest of their lives, she still wanted to stay young and beautiful.

"Immortal head, do you know how to obtain that kind of elixir that freezes your face?"

Liu Piaopiao said: "This is very difficult. First of all, we need to find an alchemist of high grade, then collect enough elixir, pay enough fees, and ask the alchemist to help refine it."

Hearing her explanation, some people's eyes were shattered, and some people's hope was ignited, hoping that they would have such an opportunity.

Liu Piaopiao just smiled, watching the different reactions of different people.

Everything in front of her is probably one of the various states in the world to her.

Immortal cultivators themselves also came out of mortals, possessing all the qualities of mortals.

If you want to ascend, in addition to constantly working hard to increase your cultivation, you must also refine your state of mind in the world, not to be troubled by some mundane things, too much greed, hatred and ignorance will make people trapped in the quagmire.

The queen mother looked at Liu Piaopiao and asked: "Is there any alchemist you know? If you have a chance, why not introduce us to each other?"

The queen mother's appearance is very good, bright and beautiful, because she is well maintained, she looks like she is in her 30s when she is in her 20s.

Liu Piaopiao looked at the Queen Mother sitting at the top, shook her head, and said, "I don't know any alchemists. I just went down the mountain recently, and I haven't met other practitioners much."

She herself is inexperienced, so how can she introduce it to others?

And it's not that she looks down on the queen mother, but so what if she finds it?
Are you going to send officers and soldiers all over the mountains and plains to find her the elixir?

That's all for a female cultivator, she has a long life, and she needs to find any medicine by herself.

But if the Empress Dowager sent someone to find medicine for her, not to mention the spirit beasts guarding the medicine, it would cost a lot of manpower and material resources.

Liu Piaopiao lowered her head, regretting that she had spoken too much.

It is better not to talk about some things, as desires increase, worries increase, and it is easy to cause troubles for others.

A large group of people talked for a while, and the maids filed into the garden from outside the garden with dishes.

After Liu Piaopiao confirmed that there was no problem with those dishes, she happily ate them.

Although she has established her foundation, she can no longer eat, but she can't stand it because she is good at the mortal world.

The royal chefs in the palace are all excellent cooks, and it is a test of skill to be able to serve banquet dishes.

There are so many good dishes, you can't eat for nothing.

The concubines in the palace had already lost their curiosity about those exquisite dishes, and instead became more curious about the rare cultivators.

Seeing Liu Piaopiao eating with gusto, they couldn't help asking questions.

"Elder Immortal, can't immortals not eat?"

"That's right, I thought all immortal elders were non-human."

Liu Piaopiao put something in his mouth, and replied: "You don't have to eat it, but I think it tastes good, so I will still eat it. I probably regard eating as a hobby."

After eating mortal things, you need to go to the toilet regularly to expel the food residue.

When cultivating spiritual power, it is also necessary to force out additional impurities.

She is used to it, and she doesn't find it troublesome like other cultivators.

If you don't eat for a long time, you will feel empty in your heart, which is strange.

Seeing that Liu Piaopiao's food was very sweet, some other people's appetites became better unconsciously.

I don't usually eat two bites of food, but I eat a few more bites.

The disciple's jade badge on Liu Piaopiao's waist flickered a few times, and golden characters emerged.

"It's been found out, it's Concubine Xu."

Seeing the content above, the woman quickly swallowed what was in her mouth and got up to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, the queen couldn't help asking: "Sister Piao Piao, what are you?"

Liu Piaopiao leaned close to her ear and whispered: "My junior brother has found out the hidden identity of the snake demon. It is Concubine Xu in the palace. I plan to go to her palace to have a look."

The little queen showed a cautious expression on her green cheeks, and she nodded in a mature way: "Yeah, you go, the business is important."

After the woman in white left, she explained to the Queen Mother in a low voice.

The reason why they don't speak up is that they are afraid of causing commotion and panic.

If the snake demon can replace Concubine Xu silently, it will also be able to replace others.

If she speaks out, it will only make people in the palace panic and uneasy.

Liu Piaopiao asked the way and arrived at Concubine Xu.

After entering the door, I saw a row of court ladies and eunuchs standing in the courtyard.

Those people all lowered their heads, they didn't look very happy, and the atmosphere seemed a bit heavy.

"Have you seen a tall and thin young man?" She asked seriously.

"The immortal is inside the house." A eunuch responded in a low voice.

Liu Piaopiao passed those people in the middle of the courtyard and walked into the house.

The young man was standing in the main hall, and there was a court lady kneeling in front of him.

"What's the matter?" Liu Piaopiao walked over and asked the serious young man.

If you don't know what he is like, maybe you will misunderstand him as a bully.

Mu Yunsheng replied: "I asked her about the poisoning of those nobles in the palace, and if she knew who instigated it, she knelt down."

Liu Piaopiao said: "The snake demon knows my name and is able to put medicine into the meals of various nobles. Someone must have asked her for information. The maids and eunuchs here should have discovered that Concubine Xu is abnormal."

The palace maid knelt on the ground, her face covered with tears.

She grabbed Liu Piaopiao's trousers with both hands, and cried out: "Xianchang, we really have no other choice. If we don't help her, she will kill us."

She doesn't want to die, even if life is not going well, she desperately wants to live.

Liu Piaopiao helped her up and let her sit on the bench.

"I know that you are forced, and we will not pursue unnecessary matters. I just came here today to ask you something."

It's not their turn to pursue the case, Liufeng Kingdom Palace has its own mechanism to deal with this series of personnel.

Hearing that the woman in white said that she would not pursue it, the palace maid's sobbing gradually became quieter.

"What do the fairy elders want to ask? The little one must know everything."

Liu Piaopiao turned her gaze to the young man next to her: "What did you ask just now?"

Mu Yunsheng replied: "Just a simple question, do you know where Concubine Xu has gone? Have they heard about people in the palace being poisoned? Do you know who poisoned them?"

Liu Piaopiao smiled helplessly, and sighed: "No wonder she knelt there and cried. You don't seem to be asking questions, but rather beating."

Mu Yunsheng said: "I'm also worried that they will still try to cover up and not answer honestly."

He was worried that these people would be careful and waste investigation time.

I just want to oppress them mentally, so that they can't bear the pressure psychologically and collapse.

In this way, it will be more convenient and smooth for women to come to ask questions.

Liu Piaopiao felt admiration.

The young man did not appear to be furious, but overwhelmed the opponent's psychological defense with a few knowingly asked questions.

She turned her eyes to the maid again, and asked, "Do you know where the former Concubine Xu is?"

The palace lady grabbed the clothes on her knees and replied in a muffled voice: "I don't know, the master went out to visit relatives one day, and he seemed to be a different person when he came back. He asked us to tell her who is the biggest in the harem, and let us find out who is the most favored in the harem." The residence of the master."

Liu Piaopiao had a guess in her heart: the real Concubine Xu was eaten, and the snake demon dared to rest assured to change into her appearance and pretend to be bold.

"Then Concubine Xu goes out occasionally, can you all notice it? Do you know who she always meets when she goes out?"

The palace lady replied: "Most of the time, you can't notice it. Occasionally, you can notice it when you watch the night. Every time she goes out, she will wear a black robe. As for who she is going to see, she is not sure."

Liu Piaopiao asked again: "Did you provide her with a lot of information about the palace family members?"

The palace maid immediately fell to her knees again in panic, her knees trembling, and tears flowed out again.

"We really didn't do it on purpose. We were all forced to ask. We dare not say nothing."

Liu Piaopiao nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"Don't worry, I won't touch you. If she comes back, you just pretend that nothing happened. If you usually serve, then serve as you are. Don't show your feet."

The snake demon does not know where it is now, and it is not known whether the elders and the others can kill it successfully.

She and Mu Yunsheng can only wait and see in the palace to prevent the snake demon from returning to the palace to hide again.

After letting the palace people go down, Liu Piaopiao took the invisibility talisman and the breath-holding talisman and hid in the palace.

Seeing her waiting here, Mu Yunsheng didn't want to go away, insisting on staying with her here.

"Why do you think of asking the queen to hold a banquet and ask me to check out those who are not present? If the snake demon is hiding a palace lady or eunuch, then your plan will not work?" the young man asked through sound transmission.

Liu Piaopiao replied: "Actually, I met the snake demon before, and I cut off its tail. You don't know how angry she was at that time. I think it's not just because of the pain, but also because of the pain." , The pride of the strong Nascent Soul was hurt by me, how could such a proud snake demon hide as a court lady or eunuch, she would definitely hide as a master."

Mu Yunsheng was immediately clicked.

If you are hiding as a court lady or eunuch, if you want to hide your identity, you will inevitably have to act submissively.

It may also be scolded by mortals who are completely unaware.

This is something the snake demon cannot bear.

Therefore, it is most convenient to become a concubine, guarding one acre of land and controlling the maids and eunuchs under her hands.

Thinking of the woman talking about meeting each other, the young man showed a worried expression: "You delayed so long yesterday, is it because of this matter? You actually lied to me that you were reminiscing with Qingling."

Liu Piaopiao shrank her shoulders.

It's over, it was found to be a lie.

"I have nothing to do, and I don't want you to worry about me for nothing." She explained.

Mu Yunsheng showed a sad expression.

"It's what you said. We in Fushou Peak are like a family. If you are a family, don't lie to each other. If you are injured and we only find out later, it will only make us feel even more uncomfortable."

Liu Piaopiao was immediately defeated by the young man's worried and sad look: "Okay, okay, don't feel bad, I won't hide it again next time."

Mu Yunsheng immediately looked up and stared into the woman's eyes, and said sharply, "You promise, there will be no next time."

Liu Piaopiao was stabbed by his eyes, feeling a little guilty.

He raised his hand and swore, "I promise, there will be no next time."

She really can't hold back this second junior brother, who usually looks very gentle, but sometimes it's really difficult to deal with.

Mu Yunsheng's eyes softened, and he explained in a gentle voice: "We treat each other with mutual respect. I believe you don't want me to hide something from you. If you know that I'm hurt and hide it, don't you? Also very uncomfortable?"

He just wanted a woman to take his role and feel his feelings.

Liu Piaopiao imagined for a while, and the expression on her face became much more serious.

"Then we have agreed, we are not allowed to hide from each other, no matter what happens, we must confess to each other."

It's one thing to do such a thing by yourself, but I really feel very angry when I really bring it into the perspective of others.

If Hua Yue and Lian Rong were really like her, she would probably beat them up after they recovered from their injuries, so that they would not dare to hide.

If it is a young person, she may feel that her heart is stuffy, and she cannot be beaten or scolded, which is very uncomfortable.
