A female noble, disguised as a man from birth and treated as a puppet, finds herself transmigrated into the body of the heir of the Jun family. After taking a fake death potion that actually kills ...
Does Chapter 35 mention "Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill"?
Well……
She only said a few words, and she already exposed herself?
However, even now, Mu Xi does not completely disbelieve in the existence of gods in this world.
After all, she had just been saved by a "spirit medium" during the day.
However, she has always believed that even if there is a god, the god would not bother with these mundane affairs, and that people would need to "create gods" to "help" the gods accomplish certain tasks.
This is the best method she can think of right now.
So Mu Xi didn't answer, but continued with her preliminary plan: "I will be going to Yangyi Temple soon. Perhaps I can start there, learn to be a male shaman, establish a 'spirit association,' and first build up some popularity."
Her scumbag father, Jin Fangjun, wanted her to leave the city to avoid the limelight of the "spirit swaying," but Mu Xi's intentions were exactly the opposite.
Who says goddesses can't fall upon men?
Yes, that's true.
Therefore, it can be utilized.
As for the inspiration for "spirit séances," it came too easily; all you had to do was copy those Western "spirit séances" you'd heard about in your past life.
First, they'll hold some mysterious and esoteric ceremony; of course, this step has already been basically taken today.
Let's find another way to expand its scale and influence.
Finally, when she has established enough influence as a male shaman, she will find an opportunity to "summon the gods" and reveal her true identity in the name of the gods.
Of course, that's a story for later. The operation must be carried out in accordance with the right timing, location, and people. We cannot be too hasty or reckless.
Once Mu Xi had sorted out her thoughts, she ended her conversation with the fairy's personality, and the two went their separate ways.
When I opened my eyes again, it was completely dark outside the window.
Mu Xi stared at the patterns on the carved wooden bed curtains, and pondered her plan in her mind again and again, feeling more and more that it "worked out".
Upon closer examination, all the personalities that the original owner had been suppressing, though merely theoretical, each possessed its own unique "specialty."
That's much better than her, an "outsider" who's still adjusting to the local environment.
This is an intangible asset; who says she has nothing?
These will be a powerful asset when you need to "play the supernatural" in the future.
Especially that "Your Highness".
Once the plan was finalized, Mu Xi felt much more at ease.
After spending so much time and energy on this, I was too lazy to move, so I simply closed my eyes and went back to sleep.
I slept until the sun was high in the sky, and when I got up again, my stomach was growling loudly.
Tao'er and Zhelan came in to help with washing up and also brought breakfast.
Mu Xi stared at the breakfast, wishing she could pounce on it, but the shadow of the original owner being poisoned to death by the fake death drug still lingered in her mind.
After much hesitation, hunger finally overcame fear, and Mu Xi swallowed her breakfast whole.
Just as he was about to bend over, Doctor Luo brought in a calming soup.
Now Mu Xi truly couldn't swallow even half a mouthful.
Unable to swallow it, she was reminded of a question: "Doctor Luo, do you have any poisons similar to the 'Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill'?"
"What kind of pill?" Doctor Luo had never heard of it before.
Mu Xi slapped her forehead: "Ah, I mean, is there a kind of poison that won't kill someone immediately after ingesting it, but requires regular antidote to save their life? Is there such a poison?"
Without a second thought, Doctor Luo replied, "No, what you're talking about is witchcraft, enchantment, and spells."
"Witchcraft? Can it control people's actions, making them do whatever you want, and preventing them from saying what you don't want them to say?" Mu Xi naturally thought of Qi Erniang and her servant.
If there is a reliable way to control the two of them, at least they won't have to lose their lives.
Doctor Luo said, "Evil sorcerers have all sorts of methods, but what are you going to do? You must not do any crooked or evil things, as those are things that damage one's virtue and will bring retribution sooner or later."
"Yes, of course not." Mu Xi nodded.
Turning her head, Doctor Luo forced her to drink the medicine again: "Drink the calming soup."
Mu Xi had no choice but to obediently drink it.
Just after finishing his medicine, Mu Xun came to see him again.
Mu Xi quickly invited the person in and dismissed the others, asking, "How are the arrangements? Will we be able to meet Qi Erniang and the others smoothly tonight?"
“No problem.” Mu Xun nodded, but clearly had something else to say. “I have found the person my brother asked me to investigate yesterday.”
"So fast?" Mu Xi was suddenly impressed by Mu Xun's efficiency.
As for the fact that Mu Xun still habitually calls her "brother" in private, this can be ignored.
Mu Xun lowered his voice: "This witch named Wei Yu is not hard to find out. There are only a handful of people with the surname 'Wei' in Moyang City. And this Wei Yu herself is a disciple of the Grand Preceptor, and her uncle is a retainer under the Grand Marshal Gao. It's easy to find out by asking around."
"Uh... Gao's retainers..." Mu Xi couldn't believe that it was found out so easily.
This is just too... "blatant".
Next, Mu Xun gave a brief introduction to Wei Yu's situation.
It is roughly from Wei Yu's generation upwards that the family had declined into poverty three generations ago, so her father and uncle both became lowly retainers under the Gao family.
Wei Yu, on the other hand, showed a cleverness and intelligence that was different from that of ordinary girls from a young age. Her father was willing to do everything he could to let her study under a highly virtuous witch and become a Xuan Nu.
She originally acquired the identity of the Mysterious Maiden so that she could elevate her social standing when she was about to get married.
Unfortunately, his father died young.
After Wei Yu's father died, her uncle tried every means to send her to Guanlan Palace to become a witch.
Although a witch cannot marry for life, the fact that a family has a witch, especially one who is a disciple of the Imperial Preceptor, brings even more glory to the family. Therefore, Wei Yu accepted her fate.
With that much information about her background, Mu Xi asked, "Who was the witch she worshipped before? Can you find out?"
Wei Yu is definitely colluding with the Gao family; there's no need to ask any further.
Given the current lack of evidence, the first thing to guard against is the "evil sorcerer" mentioned by the White-Clad Immortal.
Mu Xun replied, "He is unknown and has already passed away."
"Uh... then the evil sorcerer must be someone else." The white-robed immortal has already helped to rule out the Imperial Preceptor Xian Ling, so we must be wary of others.
"A witch doctor?" Mu Xun immediately realized, "Brother is worried that there is a witch doctor behind Wei Yu."
"There definitely are." Mu Xi shuddered at the thought of the word "evil sorcerer." "Do you know who the notable evil sorcerers are, those with considerable abilities?"
The existence of "evil witches" is too terrifying. They can kill people without leaving a trace, trap their souls, or control their minds. If you are not careful, you will fall into their trap and suffer losses, but the victim will not be able to find the source of the harm.
Mu Xun was worried: "The line between righteous witches and evil witches is very thin. Although there are only a few famous witches in the world, there are quite a few who can perform evil magic in private. They often hide in the dark, and there are even secret collusion between witches and shamans, which makes it difficult to investigate them."
“It’s not that difficult…” Since the path of investigating the evil sorcerers one by one was not feasible, Mu Xi thought of another way, “Isn’t there still the Gao family? As long as you send someone to keep an eye on the Gao family in secret, I don’t believe she won’t contact the evil sorcerers behind them.”
"I understand," Mu Xun agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, he discussed the details of meeting Qi Erniang and her servant that evening with Mu Xi before leaving.
