Dressed as an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family, she relies on metaphysics to become a god

"Why are you in a daze? If you don't trust your friend, can I accompany you to find her?" Seeing Chu Yao frowning and saying nothing, Feng Chie stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Yes, Is it because you like him that you care about him so much?"

"No." Chu Yao slandered, because I spent a lot of effort to save him, and to save him again would have to consume the spiritual energy in my body.

However, Chu Yao took action to save Ji Jinchen last time because of Grandpa Ji's face. If he encounters danger again next time, Chu Yao feels that he should receive some reward.

"Oh, I understand, you must be shy. I also liked someone, but he... I can't remember his name. Does being a ghost also affect memory?" Feng Chime looked natural. He was muttering blankly.

"We'd better leave quickly, it will be dark in a while." Chu Yao warned.

"Yeah, let's go, let's go." Feng Ling stood up and patted the non-existent dirt on his skirt.

Feng Ling took Chu Yao around the back garden of Prince Shun's Mansion. I have to say that Prince Shun spent a lot of money when he built the Prince's Mansion. The towering pavilion, the eaves and brackets, and the glazed tile roof were shining brightly. The white jade stone steps down the steps were like wind and water. The path leads to a quiet place, with lush pines and cypresses on both sides blocking out the sky. All kinds of precious and exotic flowers are planted in the altar. Even the embroidery patterns on the lanterns are rare Su embroidery.

If ordinary people came into Prince Shun's Mansion, they would only think that they were in the Heavenly Palace, not to mention that they could get the elixir of eternal youth at the Bliss Banquet. How many people could refuse such a temptation?

"I've been looking around, but I still can't find the person you mentioned. If you go further in, you'll find the main hall." Feng Ling said a little discouraged, "I can't enter the main hall."

Chu Yao walked to the door of the main hall, observed it carefully, and said: "The Xuanmen magic circle is set up here. People can come in and out freely, but ghosts can't get in, and the ghosts inside can't get out."

"Then you have to go in and find him alone. I'll wait for you at the door," Feng Ling said, sitting down on the steps in front of the main hall. She said tangledly, "You are the only one who can see me. Man, you must come out."

"Okay, I promise you." Chu Yao nodded and walked in.

The Bliss Banquet was held at around eight o'clock in the evening, which was the evening. There was no one in the main hall, and Ji Jinchen was not here either.

Chu Yao looked around and found that there was only one cook in the kitchen who was busy. When the cook saw Chu Yao walking in, his knees suddenly softened and he knelt down.

He was sweating profusely and shouted: "Girl, girl, please save me, I don't want to go to the Bliss Banquet, and I don't want to live forever, please save me!"

"Everyone here wants to participate in the Bliss Banquet and gain eternal life. Why don't you want to go?" Chu Yao asked.

"Immortality, immortality... That's not immortality at all, it's..." He was only halfway through his words when he suddenly covered his throat and couldn't say a word.

Then, the cook was forcibly manipulated like a puppet on strings and came to the stove.

His hands were stiff, and he divided a large pill on the chopping board into countless small pills, counting as he divided them: "1...2...3..."

The only sound left in the kitchen was his weird counting sounds, "37...38...39..."

"76...77...78..." When he counted here, the pills on the chopping board had been distributed, and he said mechanically, "No, no, there are two more distinguished guests tonight, 79...80!"

As he read the last two numbers out of his mouth, two more pills appeared out of thin air on the chopping board. He shouted loudly: "The medicine is ready, the banquet is about to begin, please take your seats!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he fell limply to the ground. As if he had exhausted his last bit of strength, he pulled Chu Yao's trouser legs and said: "Please, girl, let me be free, let me be free..."

"How can I free you?" Chu Yao looked directly into his eyes and asked.

"...Kill me." The cook said these three words almost at the top of his lungs, and soon he disappeared.

Chu Yao picked up the pills on the chopping board and sniffed it. This was not an elixir of eternal youth at all, but a sweating pill that would make people feel weak after taking it.

Her guess was correct.

In the so-called Bliss Banquet, people are not immortal and become immortals, but are trapped in a time loop, living the same day forever!

Therefore, Chu Yao saw that Eunuch Li was a living person, not a ghost, because Chu Yao saw Eunuch Li before he died.

Perhaps, the souls trapped in Prince Shun's Mansion know very well that they are already dead, but their souls are still trapped here, in this Prince Shun's Mansion that no longer exists.

So, does King Shun know the truth?

Chu Yao moved to the main hall, where the guests had already taken their seats one after another, and Ji Jinchen also appeared at the table, sitting at the second to last seat.

Chu Yao walked to his side, and sure enough, her name was written on the last seat.

"Where did you go just now? I looked everywhere for you but couldn't find you." Chu Yao asked in a low voice.

Ji Jinchen frowned tightly, as if he didn't know where to start talking about his experience. He slowly said, "I'll tell you slowly when I go out later."

"Get out?" Chu Yao was surprised. Could it be that Ji Jinchen had already found a way out before him?

Ji Jinchen lowered his eyes and said, "Well, I met a... Taoist priest. He said he would send us out after the Bliss Banquet is over."

Taoist priest? Could it be the Taoist priest who presented the Nine-Turn Resurrection Array to King Shun?

This bliss banquet was brought about by him. Is he really so kind that he can send himself and Ji Jinchen out?

Full of questions, Chu Yao waited for the bliss banquet to begin with mixed emotions.

After all the people at the table were present, Eunuch Li, whom Chu Yao had seen when he first entered the palace, slowly walked in. He still held the white whisk in his hand, stood on the main seat, and looked around at everyone. , said with satisfaction: "Today is a big day for the prince to hold a bliss banquet. Our family would like to thank you all for participating in it. Everyone has also heard that the prince has prepared an elixir for everyone. If you eat it, you will be safe. You will stay young for ten years. Please enjoy the singing and dancing first, and take the elixir. The prince will be here soon!"

After that, he waved the fly whisk in his hand, and several dancing girls walked into the hall accompanied by a flying crane. As soon as the crane's feet landed on the ground, it started dancing to the sound of silk and bamboo!

Everyone was amazed. The cranes in Prince Shun's Mansion seemed to have become spirits. What kind of fairy life did Prince Shun lead every day?

While enjoying the dancing cranes, the guests drank the fine wine on the table and savored the elixir.

Chu Yao and Ji Jinchen whispered in unison: "Don't eat it!"
