Chapter 497 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 24
The current Ma Dao Po looks much younger than when Jia Yingchun was captured in that life. She is dressed like an orthodox Taoist nun, and her attire is much simpler than the gorgeous and captivating attire she wore after entering the capital.
When Wang Xi arrived, Ma Dao Po had not yet rested and was flipping through something by candlelight in the room. Wang Xi had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that what Ma Dao Po was flipping through was the magic book that he had been thinking about.
"What's armor, hair, what's this word, blood?"
Ma Dao Po was reading the book with great difficulty, and she was talking to herself. After listening to her, Wang Xi found out that Ma Dao Po could not read well. No wonder she was caught so easily in her previous life. It might be because she was not very skilled and only learned the basics of the magic book.
Logically speaking, Ma Dao Po was able to learn several spells without any teaching from anyone, relying only on an incomplete spell book. She could be considered to have a real natural talent. It's a pity that her luck ended there, otherwise if she had really learned them all, she would have become a character like the monk and the Taoist priest.
Wang Xi did not intend to snatch the magic book from Ma Dao Po. She planned to copy one for her own practice. Ma Dao Po had her own karma. Harming her or helping her would not generate merit and would not benefit Wang Xi, so she did not intend to contact her.
Wang Xi waited outside the window for a long time, and finally waited until Ma Dao Po blew out the lamp and went to bed to rest. In the darkness, Wang Xi used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that Ma Dao Po never forgot to hide the spell book close to her body before going to bed. As long as he took the spell book, Ma Dao Po would definitely wake up.
"How cautious! It seems like we have no choice but to resort to some tricks!"
Wang Xi had no choice but to take out the Soul-Devouring Stone and press it against Ma Dao Po. Soon, Ma Dao Po's head tilted and she fell into a deep sleep.
"Just one application can make a person lose consciousness and fall into a deep sleep. The Soul Devouring Stone is really useful!"
This is a new use of the Soul-Devouring Stone that Wang Xi has experimented with these days. Just sticking it like this will not allow the Soul-Devouring Stone to absorb too much soul or consciousness, so it will not cause too much harm to the person being stuck. As long as they have a good night's rest, the lost soul or consciousness can be restored.
While Ma Dao Po was in a coma, Wang Xi quickly took out the spell book from her chest, relit the candle, and sat down directly where Ma Dao Po had been reading before. He took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the space and started copying.
When she was copying for the first time, Wang Xi controlled herself not to study it. She was afraid that if she didn't pay attention, she would get too obsessed with it, which would be bad if Ma Dao Po woke up. After she finished copying the first time and started to check the second time, Wang Xi began to study and analyze it word by word.
Only then did Wang Xi realize that this spell book was a real treasure. Previously, Wang Xi thought that this spell book was just similar to the spells in zombie movies that required various media and shallow cultivation to use. Now he found that these were only the lowest-level means in this spell book.
These low-level methods are specially reserved for those practitioners who do not have enough magic power or cultivation, and need to use media such as human nails, hair, blood, etc. to curse, or need black dog blood, glutinous rice, etc. to break the curse.
The latter are the spells that can be learned and used directly by using cultivation. There is the Five Elements Technique, which is a spell that uses the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The formulas and techniques are the same, only the type of spiritual energy of heaven and earth that are communicated is different. There is also the Qi-Observing Technique, which is a spell for observing the fortune and merits of others. I think the monk and the Taoist priest were able to see their own merits because they learned the Qi-Observing Technique.
There are also more spells such as sword-controlling skills, light body skills, etc., covering all aspects of magic.
The more Wang Xi read, the more surprised she felt. She no longer regretted choosing the mission from the world of "Dream of Red Mansions" again. Even if this mission was a trap set by the system, it was all worth it just for this spell book.
Wang Xi was so absorbed in the joy of learning magic that he gradually forgot the time until he heard a rooster crowing in the yard.
"Well!"
It happened that Ma Dao Po was about to wake up at this time. Wang Xi hurriedly put the spell book away and stuffed it into Ma Dao Po's arms. He didn't care whether he stuffed it in the right position or not. He slipped away while Ma Dao Po was still asleep.
In the following time, Wang Xi stayed in the rented house to study various spells in the spell book. She asked Mrs. Li to buy a few servants to stay in the house to help with cleaning, cooking and washing clothes. Except for eating and bathing, they stayed in the house all the time.
This caused Mrs. Li and the servants to secretly suspect that Wang Xi was doing something bad.
Wang Xifeng, the clone in the capital, is already over the age of coming of age. After "missing" Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion and the position of concubine of Prince Beijing, Wang Ziteng has only one choice left in his eyes - to enter the palace.
It has been three years since Jia Yuanchun entered the palace. During these three years, Jia Yuanchun has made no progress and can only stay in the Queen's palace as a female official in Fengzao Palace. Not to mention being named a concubine by the Emperor, she can't even see the Emperor.
The eunuchs in the palace used Jia Yuanchun's name to ask for money from the palace. Although Mrs. Wang was reluctant to spend the money, she had to grit her teeth and take it for the sake of her own ambition. However, Mrs. Wang had a limited amount of money, and after a few times, she began to think about lending money at high interest.
Wang Ziteng originally thought that if his sister's daughter Jia Yuanchun succeeded, he would change his mind and support Jia Yuanchun and marry Wang Xifeng to the Prince of Nan'an as a concubine. Not long ago, one of the concubines of the Prince of Nan'an died, so Wang Xifeng could take his place.
Although the Prince of Nan'an is a little older, he is still a prince of a different surname, just like the concubine of the Prince of Beijing. But unlike the Prince of Beijing, the Prince of Nan'an has military power. Wang Ziteng originally worked in the Ministry of War, so naturally he needed the support of someone with military power.
But he never expected that Jia Yuanchun was so useless that she could not succeed in three years. Now Wang Ziteng's mind became active again. He looked at Wang Xifeng, who was becoming more and more beautiful as she grew older, and felt that it would be a great loss to marry off such a beautiful and charismatic woman.
Wang Ziteng used to be perceptive. He knew that he belonged to the power of the retired emperor, and it would be bad to blatantly surrender to the emperor. But now three years have passed, and the situation between the retired emperor and the emperor has reversed. Seeing that the emperor now gradually has the power to fight against the retired emperor but has never settled accounts with them, he slowly relaxed his vigilance.
"Yuanchun is too dignified. She can't be as pleasing to the emperor as Feng."
Wang Ziteng convinced himself and made up his mind to send Wang Xifeng into the palace.
Three years after the new emperor ascended the throne, during the second selection of concubines, Wang Xifeng's name was reported by Wang Ziteng. The eunuch in charge of compiling the selection list went to his superior to report the matter and asked whether he could find a reason to exclude Wang Xifeng's name. However, his superior thought for a moment and then shook his head.
The people in the palace could see clearly that the emperor did not like women of noble birth, but the eunuch chief thought of the retired emperor and Wang Ziteng who was behind Wang Xifeng, and finally decided not to offend either side. If you have registered and meet the requirements, I will let you in. As for whether you can be selected later, that has nothing to do with them.
