When he saw Chu Yao reaching for the elixir on his desk, Ji Jinchen grabbed her wrist. Perhaps he was a little anxious, but he failed to control his strength, and Chu Yao's wrist turned red.

"Sorry, I just wanted to stop you from taking the elixir." Ji Jinchen looked at her red wrist and felt extremely guilty.

"It's okay." Chu Yao waved his hand. She just had sensitive skin and was not actually hurt by Ji Jinchen. "Do you know there is something wrong with that elixir?"

Ji Jinchen whispered: "The Taoist priest I met said that the elixir at this banquet was actually a Mongolian sweat medicine. Wushi powder was sprinkled in the wine and food. After eating it, you will have hallucinations."

"Who is the Taoist priest you met? He knows this Bliss Banquet very well." Chu Yao was thinking a lot. The identity of this Taoist priest was so mysterious that no one could tell whether he was an enemy or a friend.

"He only said that he studied under Maoshan, and others often called him Wuyou." Ji Jinchen replied.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually reached its peak, and the guests around them began to talk loudly.

"Brother Hang, how many times have you taken the elixir?"

"This is the second time I have eaten this elixir. The taste of the elixir is really amazing. I just think it is sweet and delicious, and the aftertaste is leisurely."

"I heard that taking this elixir once can make you ten years younger. If I can take it again, wouldn't I be seventeen or eighteen years old again?"

"Hahahahahahahaha, if this were true, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams. After eating this elixir, my skin would feel itchy when I was exposed to the sun..."

"That's because you are weak!...Hey, Brother Hang, have you heard of a rumor?"

"Appreciate further details."

"Prince Shun has taken the elixir several times before. Not only did he take it, but his eunuchs, maids and servants also took it. You see, Prince Shun has not aged at all in the past few years. On the contrary, his hair has turned black. few."

"Oh, it's true... I don't dare to say such nonsense!"

"It's just that we are brothers. That's why I told you. You are not allowed to tell anyone."

"Of course, come on, have another drink!"

"Did you hear what they said? They said that the people in Prince Shun's Mansion really became younger after taking the elixir." Chu Yao said softly.

Ji Jinchen nodded slightly and asked hesitantly: "Is there really such an elixir in the world?"

"Almost non-existent. Human lifespan is limited. If you use some health-preserving prescriptions all year round, you can extend your life by a few years. But if you want to be ten years younger by taking an elixir, there is no way..." Chu Yao looked at Awe-inspiring, he said in a bad tone, "I can only let others renew my life."

"Extension of life?" Ji Jinchen was surprised. He had heard that in ancient times, emperors used boys and girls to extend their lives. Could it be that this method really exists in the world?

"It's not that easy to extend your life." Chu Yao said slowly, "I once heard a story about a fisherman who caught a mermaid. The mermaid begged him to let him go, but he heard that eating mermaid meat can He wanted to live forever, so he and the villagers brutally killed the mermaid and ate them."

"Just after eating the mermaid, they did regain their youth, but what followed was endless nightmares. In the end, the villagers killed each other in brutal hallucinations. If they had not eaten the mermaid flesh, they could still have died and lived until the end of their lives. They were seventy or eighty years old, but after they ate mermaid flesh, they killed each other within a year. Is this considered a life extension?"

"They just overspent their lives." Ji Jinchen sighed.

"There is an evil method in Xuanmen. A girl under the age of sixteen can be made into 'mermaid meat'. If a person eats her heart and drinks her blood, she will be ten years younger. But this is against the laws of nature, and there will be something wrong in the end. Retribution..." As Chu Yao spoke, he suddenly found that his throat was starting to feel dry.

The girl who died before the age of sixteen, and the young King Shun who took the elixir, all seemed so logical. The so-called "elixir" was actually the girl's heart and blood!

Chu Yao's clenched hands were trembling slightly, and she pressed her lips tightly, as if doing so would prevent her from blurting out the "answer".

"What's wrong?" Ji Jinchen asked with concern.

Chu Yao took a deep breath and calmed down her emotions. It was too late, it was too late. She could do nothing in front of these dead people.

"It's okay." Chu Yao said.

But her condition didn't look very good. Just when Ji Jinchen was about to speak, the host of the Paradise Banquet, Prince Shun, happened to walk into the main hall.

Chu Yao also finally saw the Taoist priest named "Wuyou" that Ji Jinchen said. He was different from the old Taoist priest Chu Yao imagined with a heavy hair and a childlike face. He was extremely young, looking like he was only in his twenties, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a chivalrous spirit. , if he didn't say that he was a Taoist priest, others would definitely think that he was a wandering knight.

King Shun, on the other hand, is fair and fat, with kind eyebrows and kind intentions. He always has a smile on his face, like Maitreya Buddha. He smiled and said: "I am very happy to have so many relatives and friends come to my blissful banquet! I am so happy!" Wang Gang was discussing health regimen with Master Wuyou in the back hall, which delayed the world, I hope everyone will bear with me!"

He glanced down majestically and saw that most of the people had taken the elixir. He waved to Eunuch Li and said, "Go and check to see if they have all taken the elixir."

"Hey." Eunuch Li saluted, and looked at the small bowls containing the elixir one by one. When he saw that there was a small bowl with elixir in it, Eunuch Li's expression changed instantly, he picked up the elixir and forced it into someone's mouth. Got in!

"Eunuch Li, what are you doing? It's so ugly!"

"That's right, what about it?"

"What do you mean, my lord?"

Everyone complained dissatisfiedly, but soon, those who had taken the elixir gradually slumped in their seats, unable to exert any strength.

"It's broken!" "It's not good!" "This elixir contains sweat medicine!" "We have been tricked!"

The guests exclaimed, and even one or two people who had not taken the elixir were forced in by Eunuch Li. When it was Chu Yao and Ji Jinchen's turn, Eunuch Li walked straight back as if he had not seen them.

After a while, the guests couldn't even make a sound, and only the sound of heavy breathing was left in the spacious hall.

Until the palace clock struck twelve times, entering Hai hour, that is, nine o'clock in the evening.

Eunuch Li stood at the top and announced with the loudest voice: "The Bliss Banquet - begins -"

As soon as he finished speaking, nine dead soldiers poured into the palace. They were all dressed in black, wearing black masks, and were fully armed. Each of them had a silver long knife in his hand.

Eunuch Li drew out the long knife of a dead soldier, raised the knife with his hand and stabbed all the trembling dancers kneeling on the stage to death!

In an instant, blood stained the entire stage filled with fairy spirit, and the dead warriors also stood behind the guests, raising their long knives one by one——
