The obsessed look on this little girl's face before she left was so familiar.
I remember that when he first saw Xian Shu, he had the same envious look in his eyes.
When Bai Ran thought of this, she felt that this beautiful little girl was quite interesting.
Then with a slight smile, his person disappeared from the tree silently, and when he reappeared, he was already within the high walls of the palace.
At this time, Bai Ran not only used the "Invisibility Technique", which can hide the magic from mortals, but also used the "Qi-Entraining Technique", which can only be used by monks after the foundation is established.
He was allowed to flash past as quickly as transparent among the servants and maids of the palace, and no one noticed the slightest abnormality.
A moment later, Bai Ran sneaked into the back house of the palace, quietly hid behind a pillar in a remote corridor, and watched everything nearby with cold eyes.
Not long after, when a somewhat pretty maid passed by nearby, Bai Ran suddenly flicked his fingers, and a ball of yellow light the size of a fist flew out of his hand, hitting the maid on the head. The maid suddenly shook.
, he would turn over and fall to the ground.
But before her body actually fell to the ground, Bai Ran had already jumped out and picked her up, flying back to the pillar in the corner again.
Bai Ran expertly straightened the little maid's limp body so that it was facing him, then he opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of green spiritual energy, hitting her closed eyes.
Suddenly, the little maid's eyelids moved a few times, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as the little maid slowly woke up, she saw a pair of golden eyes staring at her coldly.
She was startled and was about to struggle and scream, but those extremely strange eyes suddenly shot out with yellow light, piercing straight into her eyes.
Suddenly, the little maid felt like the world was spinning, and the whole world seemed to have turned golden. Then she tilted her head, and she didn't know what was going on.
Bai Ran looked at the little maid who had passed out again, sighed softly, and withdrew a hand to wipe the sweat from her face.
Although it only took a moment to cast this "God Control Technique", it really consumed his mind and made him feel a little strenuous. No wonder, this spell was listed as one of the top ten useless spells in the foundation building period.
Although this spell can make the subject obey the caster's orders for a period of time as long as it is successfully cast, like a slave, it has too many restrictions. The monks who actually practice this spell are
Much less!
First of all, this spell can only be cast on mortals, and it has no effect on monks. Even if there is a huge difference in cultivation between the two, as long as there is spiritual power in the mind, the effects of this spell can be easily offset*
*It worked.
Secondly, the person who practices this spell must not only be a monk after foundation establishment, but also his spiritual consciousness must be far beyond that of ordinary people. However, the vast majority of foundation establishment monks are not qualified to practice this technique.
With these two restrictions in place, there are really very few monks who are still interested in practicing this spell.
But all this is not a problem for Bai Ran.
Bai Ran was originally worried that he had mastered too few foundation-building spells. After seeing the formula recording this spell in Tianzhi Pavilion that day, he curiously wrote it down. After returning to the cave and practicing it briefly, there was no resistance at all.
Everything that was not there fell into place, which surprised Bai Ran!
Now I used this spell on this little maid. It was indeed a success.
Bai Ran carefully looked around, then stretched out a finger and shook it gently. Suddenly, a small ball of milky white light emerged from the fingertips, and then moved a little towards the maid's brow. The light ball blended into it and disappeared.
The little maid woke up, turned around, and immediately sat up, staring blankly at Ran without saying a word.
"Where are you, the manager, from? When did you enter the palace? Where do you usually go, and who do you often come into contact with outside the palace?" Bai Ran looked at the little maid and asked a series of questions in a hurry.
The maid he chose to deal with was the one who was sent by King Xin to find the young prince at the beginning of the banquet. It was obvious that her status was not low among the servants, so that the information obtained would be more accurate.
"Which steward is the master asking about?" the little maid said expressionlessly.
"Are there many general managers in the palace?" Bai Ran was startled for a moment, then became a little confused.
"There is General Manager Wang who is in charge of everything in the house, General Manager Li who is responsible for purchasing, and General Manager Zhai who is responsible for the internal management of the house." The maid continued to say expressionlessly.
"Welcome guests at the gate of the mansion today
A general manager?" Bai Ran frowned and asked in a low voice.
"That is Manager Wang, the most powerful person."
"It's him I'm asking about!" Bai Ran asked anxiously.
He really didn't know how long this spell could control the other person's mind, so naturally he had to ask important questions quickly. Otherwise, he would have to spend a lot of time waiting for the little maid to wake up.
"According to the old man in the mansion, Mr. Wang has been a study boy who grew up with the prince since he was a child. He has been with the prince for fifty or sixty years. Except for following the prince into the palace once a month, he usually doesn't go out at all.
Even if you go half way to the palace, you won't come into contact with anyone outside the palace, just a group of friends who are also the prince."
"As for the relationship with the young prince, it's a bit strange! I heard from the young prince's former wet nurse that before the young prince was ten years old, he had a very bad temper and had a very bad relationship with Mr. Wang. He even gave Mr. Wang a slap in the face once in public.
Scratch.But
After he was ten years old, his whole attitude suddenly changed. Not only did he treat others politely, he was even more respectful to Mr. Wang, and even treated him as a junior. This made the prince very happy, and he always said that he was blessed by gods and men!" The maid said calmly.
Said extremely.
After hearing this, Bai Ran's expression did not change, but he sneered in his heart.
Although it sounded like there was nothing suspicious about Mr. Wang. But through the unusual behavior of the young prince, Bai Ran was sure that there must be some ulterior relationship between the two.
Moreover, these two people who can make him, a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, feel extremely dangerous, are definitely not ordinary mortals.
As for their mysterious background, Bai Ran didn't want to investigate further.
As long as the other party is not a demonic person, he doesn't care whether the other party is evil or has any ulterior motives.
If there was one less thing to worry about, Bai Ran would certainly not be asking for trouble.
And through the interrogation just now, Bai Ran was very sure that the other party had no connection with the Six Demonic Sects.
After all, the abnormality of the young prince did not happen recently. If the demonic people really started to plot this situation more than ten years ago, Bai Ran would be really speechless.
Thinking of this, Bai Ran opened his mouth and gave instructions again:
"Where does Master Wu Xian live? Lead the way for me."
"As you command, Master!"
The little maid stood up and left very obediently, while Bai Ran continued to hide her figure and followed behind her secretly.
Under the leadership of the maid, Bai Ran passed through seven or eight courtyards in a row and arrived in front of a quieter courtyard. At this time, the maid stopped.
"Pa" "Pa"
Bai Ran suddenly touched the maid's back, patted her twice with her white-glowing palm, and then dodged and hid behind a big tree on one side.
"Hey! Isn't this the old god's residence? Why am I here?"
The little maid blinked her eyes hard twice and suddenly started shouting. The dazed look in her eyes had completely disappeared.
"Who is making noise outside? Didn't Pindao tell you that no one should disturb Pindao's practice?"
From a room in the courtyard, the displeased voice of the old Taoist priest came.
When the little maid heard this, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't even think about why she was here, and ran away in a panic.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened.
The old man with white beard and hair walked out again looking like a fairy.
But after seeing no one in the courtyard outside the house, he had a puzzled look on his face.
"What's going on! I clearly heard voices, and I thought that prince was coming to see me again! I quickly stopped my skills because of this, but where did he go?"
The old man stood in the yard, looked around, and then returned to the house with some sadness.
But when he closed the door and turned around, he was stunned!
At the Eight Immortals table in the room, Bai Ran was looking at the old Taoist with a smile and said nothing, as if he was very interested in her.
"Who are you?" the old Taoist asked hurriedly, his face changed greatly.
Then he raised his hand almost as if by reflex, and a fiery red fireball appeared on his hand.
"If I were you, I wouldn't take action casually." Bai Ran turned a blind eye to Lao Dao's fireball and said with a smile, as if there was no hostility at all.
