Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 350 Fu Qingge. (First update!)

As soon as she finished speaking, the ghost bride flicked her wide sleeves, and a chilling gust of wind instantly swept Zheng Que away.

call……

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Que stepped out of the red sedan chair, swept past the surrounding dowry procession adorned with red and green decorations, and landed on the ground.

He had just stood still when the ghost wedding procession departed with music and fanfare, quickly entering a thick fog and disappearing from sight.

As soon as the ghost wedding procession left, a figure in a yellow dress appeared next to Zheng Que.

The visitor was none other than Mu Xiangu.

Mu Xiangu glanced in the direction the ghost wedding procession had left and immediately said, "This immortal will now take you into the city."

"If there are no problems, then follow me now."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que was taken aback and immediately replied, "Thank you, Miss Mu. However, you only need to protect me secretly. There is no need for you to risk entering the city."

As he spoke, he looked around and saw that he was standing in a small grove of trees.

This grove of trees, covering no more than half an acre, was a mixed bag of species, crooked and twisted, clearly neglected. Through the jagged branches and leaves, one could see a wide official road not far away, with gently undulating fields of weeds and shrubs on both sides, stretching to the horizon where shimmering water resembled a large lake.

The lake's surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the majestic city. Behind the city, mountains rose in rows, their shadows of varying shades intertwining to outline the contours of the mountains.

Besides Zheng Que himself, only Mu Xiangu was in the grove. He immediately asked, "Where are Lu Maohong and Gao Yinxia from the Heavenly Artifact Sect?"

On this journey, he rode in the red sedan chair of the ghost bride, while his four ghost servants were all put into the soul-summoning banner and the soul-nurturing bag.

As for Lu Maohong and Gao Yinxia, ​​he had Mu Xiangu bring them over.

Of the two living people, Lu Maohong, besides having a connection with him, could also help him meet the prefectural magistrate, which was much more convenient than him coming to the prefectural city alone.

Gao Yinxia is a disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect, so she cannot be killed, otherwise there will be big trouble. But she cannot be let go either, otherwise when she returns to the sect, who knows how many fellow disciples she will bring to seek revenge next time...

Therefore, he can only temporarily control the other party.

Once I've secured the support of the imperial court, I'll figure out a way to resolve this problem.

At this moment, Mu Xiangu waved her hand and said arrogantly, "Don't compare me to that ordinary 'vengeful spirit' like the Ghost Bride."

"If I really want to enter the city, no one will notice."

As she spoke, she took out a complete human skin. The skin was fair and delicate, and even in the forest, it had a faint luster. It should be the skin of a young girl.

Mu Xiangu held the human skin and cast a spell. The skin immediately moved, and in the blink of an eye, it spontaneously draped over her body and tightened automatically.

In an instant, Mu Xiangu's entire appearance changed drastically, transforming from a female ghost shrouded in yin energy and filled with eerie intent into a young girl with an apricot-shaped face, peach-like cheeks, bright eyes, and white teeth.

The beautiful girl's appearance was completely unfamiliar to Zheng Que, and he had never seen her before. What amazed Zheng Que the most was that Mu Xiangu's entire body was filled with the yang energy that only a living person would have!
Yes, this is not a ghost with a solidified body that resembles a living person, but rather it is exactly the same as a real living person.

At this moment, Mu Xiangu looks no different from a normal cultivator!

Seeing this, Zheng Que immediately thought of Mu Xiangu's species. The other party was a [Painted Skin], a ghost most skilled at disguising itself as a living person!

At this moment, Mu Xiangu took out a brush fully dipped in ink. This brush was none other than the [Soul Eater Ink Weapon] that the other party had lent to Zheng Que during the Baozhen Valley Gathering.

Next, right in front of Zheng Que, Mu Xiangu used the [Soul Eater Ink Weapon] to smear her face, quickly erasing her original features, and then began to redraw them.

Before long, Mu Xiangu painted a new face for herself. This face had long, slanted eyebrows that flew into her temples, bright and sparkling phoenix eyes, a straight nose, thin lips as red as blood, and a flame-like flower decoration between her eyebrows, which complemented her snow-white skin. She looked cold and elegant, like a plum blossom blooming fiercely in winter covered in frost.

After finishing the face, Mu Xiangu continued to draw the body, clothes, and aura...

Time passed slowly, and finally, Mu Xiangu finished painting her entire body. She summoned a water mirror, looked at herself for a few moments, and nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Mu Xiangu wore her hair in a Leyou-style reverse bun, with long hairpins inserted in the middle. She wore a short, narrow-sleeved yellow blouse and a green, high-waisted blouse. A red silk ribbon was tied in a ruyi knot at her chest, with a few tassels hanging down. A pale green shawl with fluttering flowers was tied around her arm. When the wind blew, it lifted her skirt, revealing a pair of pink-soled black boots.

His posture was as upright as a pine tree, and his body exuded the aura of the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. His aura was pure and agile, and he was vaguely similar to Gao Yinxia.

Mu Xiangu put away the [Soul-Eating Ink Weapon], pointed to her face, and calmly said, "This is an inner disciple of the Heavenly Artifact Sect named Fu Qingge."

"I learned about this person from the memories of that Heavenly Artifact Sect disciple."

"Now I'll show you whether the disciples of the Heavenly Artifact Sect can recognize me!"

As she spoke, she took out a pale yellow human skin. This skin was tanned like silk and had two lifelike cultivators painted on it. Judging from their appearance, they were Lu Maohong and Gao Yinxia.

Mu Xiangu gently shook the human skin, and Lu Maohong and Gao Yinxia on it were immediately pushed out by a force.

At the same time, Mu Xiangu quickly put away her human skin.

The next moment, Lu Maohong and Gao Yinxia, ​​who had landed on the ground, immediately regained their senses.

Lu Maohong's robes were rumpled and stained with blood, and his breathing was still a bit disordered, indicating that his injuries had not fully recovered. However, Zheng Que had given him healing pills before, so the problem was no longer serious.

Gao Yinxia's cultivation was still sealed. As soon as she stood firm, she began to look around. When her gaze fell on Zheng Que, a flash of anger appeared in her eyes. But when she saw Mu Xiangu, her spirits lifted and she exclaimed happily, "Senior Sister Fu!"

As she spoke, she quickly walked to Mu Xiangu's side, carefully examining her, and said with a mixture of surprise and delight, "Senior Sister Fu, is it really you?"

Mu Xiangu smiled faintly, then made a move, pointing at the location of Gao Yinxia's Qi Sea from a distance.

Whoosh!
A cold, mysterious light instantly entered Gao Yinxia's body.

The yin energy that had been sealing Gao Yinxia's true essence immediately dissipated like snow meeting the sun, and the true essence that had been tightly imprisoned began to flow freely again.

Having regained her cultivation, Gao Yinxia was overjoyed and no longer doubted Mu Xiangu's identity. She immediately said, "Senior Sister Fu, did you save me?"

Mu Xiangu nodded and said calmly, "It seems you don't know what happened yet."

"Alright, Qingrao Prefecture is just ahead."

"Let's go into the city first, and talk as we go."
