Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Prince's Garden.

The winding waterways and corridors intertwine, with pavilions and terraces of varying heights reflecting each other. Inside the Misty Water Pavilion, Prince Li sits peacefully on a futon, leaning against a green fishing rod with a fishing line dangling into the clear water, as still as a withered tree.

Steward Xu Shu entered the garden, stopped outside the pavilion, and bowed: "Your Highness, the young master has left the manor and should be at Zuixianlou by now."

The fishing prince gave a soft "hmm" and said, "Send more guards to protect him well. Before the prince's wedding, we must not allow any further complications to arise."

Xu Shu bowed and clasped his hands: "Your Highness, please rest assured, the secret guards have already made arrangements. If the Maitreya Sect rebels dare to attack, they will be ensured to never return. This time, we will definitely protect the young master."

Prince Li nodded slightly in satisfaction: "The Maitreya Cult is nothing but a rabble; there's no need to take it to heart. The most important thing is the Crown Prince's wedding, welcoming the legitimate daughter of the Li family into the palace. Prepare for the wedding properly and make sure there are no mistakes."

"Your subordinate obeys."

Just then, a guard rushed into the garden, looking flustered. He hurried to the pavilion, knelt down with a thud, and cried out in terror, "Young Master, something has happened!"

"How could this happen?" Xu Shu's expression changed drastically. The defenses for the trip were already at their best, so how could something still go wrong?

……

Two elite guards, armed with swords, stood in neat rows, protecting the prince's carriage from the front and back.

On either side of the carriage were more than a dozen attendants.

Lin Mo withdrew his gaze from the luxurious procession, stepped onto the stools arranged by the servants, and boarded the gilded and jade-adorned carriage.

The interior walls of the carriage are covered with cool, smooth silk gauze, and the four walls are inlaid with white jade ice storage compartments, which are stocked with chilled fresh fruit and cold drinks.

It's still early, so we burn some cool, refreshing agarwood incense to drive away the summer heat.

A thin, soft otter-patterned cooling mat was laid under the seats, and the jade curtains on both sides were made of translucent, non-scorching turquoise silk. Inside the carriage, one felt incredibly cool and refreshed, without any trace of the summer heat.

"Young Master really knows how to enjoy life." Lin Mo stretched with a look of enjoyment, the scent of agarwood making him drowsy, and he yawned repeatedly.

As the carriage moved along, the slight bumps and swaying gradually made him tired, and he soon fell asleep.

He dreamt that he ascended to immortality, to the Jade Pool and Celestial Terrace, to the celestial palace where beautiful maidens sang and danced, and to the heavens, to the heavenly wine and peaches in crystal goblets, which he could never finish drinking. In the end, he could not hold his liquor, became completely drunk, and finally his consciousness faded into darkness.

The carriage stopped at Zuixianlou.

The servants repeatedly urged the young master to get out of the carriage.

But after a long silence, the servant realized something was wrong. He hurriedly boarded the carriage, opened the door, and found it completely empty.

The young master has disappeared!

……

Opening his eyes, Lin Mo saw three familiar temples.

  

He blinked, his head still a little dazed; the aftereffects of his qi deviation were quite severe.

How did I get into the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror]?

Suddenly, a beam of mysterious light shot out from the gate of the Palace of Fate, transforming into a canopy that slowly revealed several lines of golden characters.

【Lord of Xuantian: Lin Mo】

[An ordinary mortal from Earth, by a twist of fate, becomes the master of the Mysterious Heavenly Mirror, his soul transmigrates through countless worlds, and he is born into the Great Zhou Dynasty. After eighteen years, his face is replaced by the Li King using a strange technique, awakening his innate wisdom. From then on, his destiny is no longer within the Six Paths of Heaven.]

[He has obtained the status of the Crown Prince of Li, enjoys the right to inherit the title of Prince, and receives half of the fortune of the Li Prince's Mansion, with a fortune value of +2000]

[A virgin practicing the "Ruyi Chunyang Gong" (a type of martial arts technique), he was plagued by inner demons and wanted to go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to indulge in pleasure and debauchery. However, he was assassinated halfway there and died after being drugged with the incense "Drunken Immortal Wandering"!]

"Fuck you... I'm hanging up already?"

Lin Mo sat up abruptly, his face blank with surprise.

It took him a while to come to his senses and accept the fact that he, the fake heir, had barely settled in before being assassinated.

Being the crown prince is truly a high-risk profession.

With a sense of wonder, Lin Mo was glad that the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror] was indeed a rare treasure.

Calming his mind, he looked at the three temples. The [Inquiry Temple] was open, and he wondered what treasures were inside.

Lin Mo immediately got up and entered the hall, shifting his position.

This is a quiet and secluded room, containing only a study, a meditation cushion, and an alchemy furnace, with no other superfluous furnishings.

Lin Mo flipped through the scriptures in the library, but they were all blank.

"Why are they all empty?"

As he was pondering this, relevant information about the [Ask Tao Hall] flooded his mind, and Lin Mo instantly understood.

He put down the blank scripture, sat on the futon, and shouted at the alchemy furnace, "Open!"

puff!

A roaring fire suddenly burst into flames, the furnace was opened, and a figure flew into the hall.

The figure, voice, and appearance were exactly the same as the young master's.

This is Lin Mo's physical body after his fall in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After he was poisoned to death by "Drunken Immortal's Wandering", his body was devoured by the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror and transformed into resources for cultivation.

Looking at his own physical body, Lin Mo felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

[Would you like to consume 200 points of Luck to refine the corpse from this Life Simulation?]

A prompt appears on the panel.

"Consumption!" Lin Mo made his choice.

The old will not go, and the new will not come.

Only by refining the old physical body can one be reborn.

The body was thrown into the alchemy furnace, and the furnace lid was covered, whereupon a roaring fire broke out.

A moment later, the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, and a beam of precious light flew out and landed in Lin Mo's hand.

This is a human skin mask, as thin as a cicada's wing, slightly cool to the touch, and with a texture as smooth and lustrous as jade. It feels like the soft, jade-like skin of a young girl.

【The Thousand-Faced Human Skin】:

【Effect】: Wearing this mask allows you to transform into anyone you desire. If the person you desire has an unclear face, the transformed image will be incomplete.

[Defect]: Currently unknown

"Interesting." Lin Mo happily put away the human skin mask.

This time, the impersonation of the crown prince was not entirely fruitless.

After leaving the [Hall of Inquiry], Lin Mo stepped into the [Hall of Myriad Realms].

Looking at the two gates in front of him, he hesitated whether to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty or go to the unknown cultivation cave.

The immortal cultivation cave is a place where everything is unknown, and dangers are unknown.

However, the Great Zhou Dynasty was no better off, as it was also fraught with danger.

It seems there's no difference which realm you choose to go to.

Suddenly, the interface displayed a message that prompted him to make a choice.

If you die and return to your original world, you need to consume your luck to simulate a new profession and restart.

The first time one travels to a new world, one is exempt from consuming luck.

"The Qi Luck is the core of the Three Palaces. Every bit saved is a bit more. I'm going to cultivate in the Immortal Cave Heaven."

Lin Mo strode forward and entered the Xuan Guang Gate of the Immortal Cultivation Cave.

The next second, Lin Mo felt as if he had passed through a water curtain barrier. Before his eyes, there were colorful lights and shadows that kept changing, making it difficult to open his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I had been transported to a new world.

What came into view was a small room.

He lay on the bunk bed. Lin Mo sat up, looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and saw a washbasin stand next to him with water in the copper basin. He immediately got up and put his face close to it.

The water in the copper basin reflected a handsome face, about seventeen or eighteen years old, much more handsome than the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a rosy complexion and full of energy.

"Just like in my previous life."

This is the face of the page boy from my previous life. It seems that my reopening of my cultivation cave is not a case of possession and rebirth, but rather that I have been given a new identity.

"It's good that it's not possession; otherwise, every time you restart, it's a new body, and that new body is dating your ex-girlfriend, making you cheat on yourself?"

Just thinking about Lin Mo sent a chill down my spine; he didn't have any strange quirks.

Composing himself, Lin Mo began to learn about his new identity.

Memories flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern, flowing through my heart.

Lin Mo felt like an observer watching a movie, familiarizing himself with the main character's persona on screen.

"This is Xuanyu Grotto-Heaven, under the jurisdiction of the Three Immortal Sects, Qinghe Immortal Workshop!"

"My new identity is a pimp at the Jade Pavilion... Damn it, what kind of identity did they give me?!"

Lin Mo cursed and swore. Just a moment ago he was a high and mighty young master, but now he had been reduced to a waiter, a pimp serving customers. The difference in his mood was too great for him to accept for a while.

"Forget it, I brought this on myself." Lin Mo quickly accepted his new identity.

Why should I waste my luck and become a pimp again? It's better than being a eunuch, right? If I were a eunuch, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the pleasures of the brothel. Now that I'm a pimp, I have the advantage of being close to the ladies of the brothel. They're so beautiful!

Suddenly, a feeling of discomfort came from my groin.

"How could this be?" Lin Mo frowned. "This new identity seems to have some problems... Holy crap!"

Lin Mo realized something important: he was under a curse.

Shuyang Dansha!
