In the 36th year of Qi State, in Chenjia Village, southern suburbs outside Qingfeng City, more than 500 villagers in the village disappeared overnight, and the yamen runners searched for dozens of miles away without success.

In the 44th year of Qi State, the walls in the south wall of Qingfeng City cracked, revealing hundreds of corpses entangled together.

In the 63rd year of Qi State, there was a pavilion ten miles outside the city. It was destroyed by thunder and turned into ruins on a rainy night. Later, a Shangshou passed by and disappeared nearby. After a heavy fog, the ruins also disappeared.

In the 84th year of Qi State, in a courtyard beside Huamu Street in Qingfeng City, there were children crying at night. No one who entered the courtyard to check it again. The courtyard disappeared four days later. When asked the elderly nearby, they found that it was an open space and there was never a large courtyard.

In the 94th year of Qi State, the thirty-four people in the Longxing Martial Arts Hall in the city, except for the owner, were all hung by willow branches on the beams of the house, and the deceased looked terrified.

................

Looking at the many strange incident records behind it.

The more Chu Sheng looked at him, the more bored he became, and the more uneasy he became.

One of the texts in the file described with red pigments also attracted his attention.

The tenth year of Qi State was the new king ascended the throne. The heavy rainstorms that lasted thousands of miles in the country occurred in the country. The water of the rivers poured backwards, causing floods in many places within three days. The flood quickly retreated after lasting for three days, and the retreating flood also took away hundreds of thousands of floating corpses. Some villagers were afraid that the bodies would be soaked in the water to pollute the water source, so they searched for corpses along the rivers, but the floating corpses seemed to disappear out of thin air and disappeared.

Since he came to this world, he felt the air full of depression. The demonic sayings are probably not groundless, but real existence.

With the strength of Chu Sheng, the ordinary person now, he can't reach that level. It's hard to imagine what kind of creature it is and what kind of strength it has to do.

There are many houses in the deep courtyard of the Chu Mansion. Chu Sheng's study is located at the southernmost point. The skylight at noon passed through the window and just fell on the file on the table. The candlesticks were not lit in the study, and the surroundings were dim, and the words on the paper were particularly eye-catching under the light.

Chu Sheng closed the files, pushed open the chair and walked towards the window, reached out and pushed open the brown wooden window carved with birds and beasts, put his hands on the window ridge, and looked at the snow falling outside the window.

Chu Sheng was a little confused at this time. Before he knew about these events, he thought of being an ordinary rich young master. Now it seems that this idea is a bit naive.

As the eldest son of the family, Chu Sheng has rich resources.

Before, I only knew how to enjoy myself, but never practiced martial arts to strengthen my body. The historical celebrity Sangondor once said a famous saying, "It is difficult to be rich in literature and martial arts, and has absolute power and a certain amount of wisdom to solve 99% of the troubles in the world."

Chu Sheng slowly walked to the table, sat on the armchair and leaned against the back of the chair, buried his whole body in the shadow, quietly looking at the files all over the table, thinking about the next step.

Scream~

The door was opened, and a short figure leaned in, holding a black wooden box in his hand.

"Young Master, the servants from Chunqiu Pavilion outside sent a gift, saying that they were to thank you for your support for the auction house over the years." Xiao Qi handed the wooden box to Chu Sheng like a treasure.

When Chu Sheng heard that it was something given to Chunqiu Pavilion, he immediately became interested.

He held up the exquisitely carved ebony box and opened the brass-colored lock. There was an ancient book with a yellowed cover lying inside the box. It might be that his previous owner had not kept it well. The cover was eaten by insects and the words behind the page could be vaguely seen through the holes.

Looking at the words on the cover, I looked like the words of the ancient Yue Kingdom, the predecessor of Shao Hua Kingdom. After reading it a few times, I was still not sure. I continued to look down and found that except for the strange movements at the beginning, the others were illustrations of the transport of human meridians and qi and blood.

"Have you said anything after they gave you this box?"

After Chu Sheng finished reading it, he put it back into the box as it was.

"It should be gone, right?" Xiao Qi scratched his little head and replied indeterminately. "Oh, by the way! They also said that this has been identified by a special martial artist. It is a superficial ordinary skill for strengthening the body."

"Okay, you go to the account office to get a few taels of silver to the errand runner, and come back later and ask you something."

"Okay, thank you young master." Xiao Qi closed the door and jumped to the account.

Chu Sheng looked back at the deserted study room, his eyes fell on the messy desktop, and then fell on the ebony box. He thought about it repeatedly and opened the box.

He picked up the ancient book again and looked through it in full several times, not even letting the stitching of the pages of the book. After searching for it, he had no other discoveries. He could only put it back in the box. However, the patterns of qi and blood transport on the pages were even deeper in Chu Sheng's mind.

Chu Sheng frowned, covered the wooden box casually, stood up, walked two steps, put it on the edge of the bed, returned to the position and reached out to pick up the blue and white teacup, drinking the freshly soaked fragrance.

"Oh... I thought it was my opportunity." Chu Sheng sighed and put down the cup in his hand.

Chu Sheng, who continued to search for the table of files, tried to find something again, but after a stick of incense, he found nothing.

He was a little tired by these things and walked to the bed, closed his eyes and lay on his back, and a strong sense of sleepiness came towards Chu Sheng.

............

Dark, silence, cold

It seemed like I was on the bottom of the sea that was thousands of meters deep, and I couldn't see any light or hear any sound. My body was surrounded by huge pressure. My whole body was like being wrapped in sticky glue. My hands kept wiggling, but I couldn't make a move. My brain was blank and my lower limbs were moving forward without obedience.

Chu Sheng didn't know where he was now, his brain was blank, he turned his head in a daze, looking at the surrounding situation. Now his mind was in an extremely chaotic state, as if he was awake and dreaming, as if he was in an unstable dream, and he didn't understand why he was doing this, but his body was faithfully performing an action.

What is this place, is it a dream or something else? At this moment, Chu Sheng's mind is filled with unknown fear.

He had never had this situation before. He was obviously in the room, but he had just finished drinking tea, and lay on the bed, closed his eyes and rested. When he was conscious again, he appeared in this space.

He was moving forward like a walking corpse, and he couldn't remember how long he had walked.

Suddenly, at the end of Chu Sheng's gaze, six extremely small red dots appeared, and they rose rapidly from the low point to the darkness above his head.

"That's...what?"

Chu Sheng stopped for some reason and looked up at his head in a daze.

Above, there is nothing else that can't be seen clearly except for the darkness and the six red light spots that are in two rows.

After the light spot rose to the highest point, it stopped, and a sense of peeping suddenly appeared in Chu Sheng's heart, as if higher creatures were concerned about lower creatures, which was unsettling.

After the red light spot was still for a while, it quickly fell down again. This time the end point was where Chu Sheng was. It continued to grow from far to near. When it approached a certain level, the red light had already filled Chu Sheng's vision.

It was only then that Chu Sheng could see clearly the true appearance of this spot of light, with huge scarlet eyes and a yellowish-brown vertical pupil in the center of his pupil.

The stimulation of the strong light immediately made Chu Sheng lose consciousness, and before he fell into a coma, he heard something calling out to the illusion demon Galadir.

....................................

"Ah...here...is...where?"

On the barren land surrounded by gray mist, Chu Sheng suddenly sat up from the pile of rocks, supported his hands on the pile of stones, and his upper body was still wearing the clothes he had before. At this time, he was soaked in sweat. His face maintained his hideous expression before, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Chu Sheng's condition at this time was like a long time of racing, caused by lack of oxygen. The violent gasps were accompanied by a strong sense of dizziness. It took him a while to get better.

When that state eased a little, and was about to recall what had happened before, Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and a strong stinging sensation accompanied by the feeling of hypoxia suddenly came towards him.

After resting for a while, the pain was relieved. Although it was no longer so painful, Chu Sheng's face still looked so pale.

Chu Sheng's memory is still in the time period after drinking tea. No matter how he comes here, he can't remember anything. It seems that there is a memory missing in the middle.

"What happened before, why did I come here?" Chu Sheng suppressed the discomfort on his body and slowly slid onto the ground along the slope of the pile of stones.

At this moment, he was standing on a cracked earth, and he could only see things within five meters of sight. If he exceeded this distance, he could only see gray-white fog.

Chu Sheng looked up and saw that the space above his head was filled with gray-white mist. He could not feel the flow of air, but could see the strange mist converging in a certain direction.

The direction he looked in, his vision was blocked by the fog. After walking two steps in that direction, he couldn't help feeling palpitations, and the cells all over his body conveyed a message to his brain.

Danger!

Don't go!

These warnings prompted Chu Sheng to stop, return to the origin and stop behind the four-meter-high pile of stones, calm down and observe carefully.

Click, click, click.

Like a sound caused by some kind of rodent gnawing on hard objects, it came from the back of the slope intermittently.

Chu Sheng shouldn't have ventured to explore the source of this sound without knowing the surroundings, but based on the current situation, in order to find a way to get back, he carefully climbed to the highest end of the pile of stones, poked his head out and took a look.

A rabbit with gray hair stood upright, with its forelimbs plastered on a white skeleton, and it looked like it had been a creature that had been dead for a long time.

Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. He had never seen a rabbit gnawing at the bones before. Inadvertently, his elbow hit a small stone and rolled down the slope. The stone rolled down the skeleton, and the noise caused attracted the strange rabbit.

Chu Sheng quickly shrank his head back. In this gray fog world, the rabbit gnawing on the bones is not a normal creature no matter how you look at it. You can't be wrong with being cautious.

After waiting for a while, Chu Sheng found nothing to move below. The gray rabbit disappeared, leaving only a broken skeleton. Judging from the traces of the skeleton being gnawed, the rabbit's teeth should be quite good.

Just as he thought there was no danger, a rustling sound came from behind him. When he turned around, he found two small mounds of soil appeared on the ground. There was a hole as big as an adult's fist in the middle. The gray rabbit came to him by digging the hole and stood beside the entrance of the hole and stared at Chu Sheng.

One person and one rabbit held each other in this way. After a while, the rabbit's mouth squirmed slightly and cracked, split into three petals, covered with dense tines, and rushed towards Chu Sheng's head.

"Depend on!!!"

Although he was cautious enough, Chu Sheng never expected such a change. He subconsciously squatted to the side and dodged the deadly attack of the monster. While dodging, Chu Sheng's shoulder was scratched by sharp teeth, but his other hand luckily grabbed the monster's hind limbs and smashed it to the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Although it was repeatedly thrown on the pile of stones, the monster's big mouth was still opening and closing. Its body was cut by the stones, and the sticky red blood splattered onto the surrounding gravel.

The monster was not dead immediately after being injured so seriously, and its limbs were still twitching subconsciously, especially its mouth was still pulling the sand and stones around it.

When Chu Sheng saw it still moving, he immediately stepped on it with his feet until it was unrecognizable, with stones, meat and hair all stuck together.

At this time, the pain in his shoulders and the soreness of the muscles all over his body came towards him, making Chu Sheng slump on the ground, and he didn't care about the stones that were holding hands on the ground.

After taking a few breaths on the spot, Chu Sheng quickly glanced at the monster's corpse. The originally motionless meat ball quickly moved to him against the ground. Before he could react urgently, the monster reached Chu Sheng's feet and moved to his head along the base of his thighs. The liquid-like flesh paste Chu Sheng's face.

He reacted and immediately used his hands to tear it, but it didn't work. The more intense the struggle, the less oxygen in his body was.

Due to lack of oxygen, consciousness gradually dissipates, and the tearing of hands becomes increasingly weak.

"Am I going to die..."

Chu Sheng's consciousness gradually dissipated.

It was like an hallucination before death, the superior life, and the delicious food flashed through his mind.

"No...I don't want to die! I haven't had time to enjoy it in this life...How can I die!"

Chu Sheng's dispersed pupils shrank suddenly, and his strong desire to survive pulled him back from the brink of death.

"If you want me to die? Then I will eat you first!"

Chu Shengmao was ruthless and stopped pulling the deformed meat ball attached to his face. Instead, he opened his mouth and squeezed the meat ball inside with his hands, chewed it into scum with his teeth, and swallowed it in his stomach with his greasy nausea.
