Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

"What a pitiful baby. He has lost his parents since he was a child, and now he also..."

Pitiful?

No parents?

Is it me?

His consciousness sank into the darkness, and listening to the whispers in his ears, Gu Xing thought subconsciously.

"I don't know how he got into trouble with the water monkey. Why did he go to the river?"

Water monkey?

what is that?

"Doctor Li, can the Gu family's baby be saved?"

Gu family baby?

My surname seems to be Gu, so it turns out they are really talking about me.

So, Gu Xing opened his eyes.

The long-lost light came into his eyes, tearing away the darkness in his consciousness.

Along with the light, there was a sudden increase in the number of complex sounds in the ears.

"It's alive, it's alive, the Gu family's baby is alive."

"As expected of Dr. Li..."

"..."

The first thing that caught Gu Xing's eyes was an old man with a gray beard, wearing rough cloth, with a trace of confusion on his wrinkled face.

Raising his eyes and scanning the surroundings, he saw faces that were either happy or calm.

But that's not the point. The point is that these people are dressed very strangely. Their clothes can't even be described as simple, but rudimentary.

The dirty clothes sewn with rags were extremely eye-catching.

Coincidentally, Gu Xing looked down and saw that he was wearing similar clothes to them.

He is even a little worse.

They sewed so much rags that they themselves had no rags to sew with, and there was a piece missing here and a piece there.

So, did I accidentally join a costume drama crew?

still--

crossed?

……

It took several hours, and under the nagging of the surrounding villagers, Gu Xing finally accepted the fact of time travel.

Of course, he had no grudges about time travel. After all, he was an orphan in his previous life and didn't have many bonds.

It just took time to understand the current situation before I heard more from the villagers.

This is Niuben Village, a small village in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Gu Xing said that he had lost his memory, and then extracted this information from the villagers.

But that's all. The more villagers who obviously don't know much don't understand either.

As for the so-called water monkey, Gu Xing asked about it, but the villagers kept it secret and just told Gu Xing not to go near the river anymore. If you want to get water, just come with them in the morning.

There is something wrong with this world!

After bidding farewell to everyone, Gu Xing made this judgment.

But he didn't know exactly what the problem was.

Without thinking too much, he opened the door in front of him.

Inside the gate is a small courtyard, not big, but it can be said to be complete.

There are some dry goods hanging in the yard, the water tank in the corner is filled with water, and the ground is clean. It can be seen that he was a very hardworking person.

But then he realized something. The water tank was full. Why did he go to the river?

do the laundry?

No, this is unlikely.

Judging from previous observations, perhaps because of the water monkey, the villagers here do not have the habit of washing clothes frequently.

Gu Xing felt that there was something fishy about his predecessor's death, which also led to his time travel.

But instead of being grateful, he was wary.

Due to his experience in an orphanage as a child, he has been a cautious person since he was a child.

Therefore, when he thought that the crisis he encountered might befall him at any time, he immediately subconsciously looked around.

There was nothing strange around him. It seemed that there was no danger in this yard, which made him sigh in relief.

He found a place to sit down, and after glancing around again, he took out a book from his arms.

This is a very strange book. The pages are yellowed, as if it has been sealed for a long time.

There were some incomprehensible words written on the cover. Gu Xing touched it with his hand and felt that the texture was a little delicate, like some kind of leather.

But when he opened the book, it was completely blank, just like what he had seen before traveling through time.

Yes, he had read this book before traveling through time.

After traveling through time, the book had been in his arms, but neither Dr. Li nor the villagers seemed to have discovered it.

Gu Xing recalled it carefully, as if his last memory was picking up the book and flipping through it.

So, is this book the culprit for his time travel?

Before he could examine the special features of this book carefully, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a girl's clear voice sounded outside the door.

"Ah Xing, my mother-in-law said you fell into the water and asked me to give you a bowl of ginger soup to ward off the cold."

Putting the book into his arms, Gu Xing opened the door. Outside the door was a young girl, about the same size as his body.

She doesn't look very beautiful, but she is at her most beautiful age, and she is also somewhat delicate and cute.

Gu Xing naturally didn't think about those cruel things. He was just thinking about who the girl was talking about, the thin aunt who was watching, or the fat aunt who was crying because she fell into the water.

He didn't think much and reached for the ginger water.

When taking the ginger water, the two hands happened to touch together.

The girl's cheeks turned red and she quickly retracted her finger.

Gu Xing, on the other hand, was stunned.

It wasn't some silly shy plot, but the moment he touched it, he felt the book in his arms vibrate.

But soon the expression on his face returned to normal, and then he said.

"I just drank enough from the river. I'll drink this ginger soup later. I'll bring the bowl to you when it comes."

The girl didn't doubt that he was there, she smiled sweetly at him, and then frowned slightly.

"Ah Xing, grandma said you forgot a lot of things, are you okay?"

"fine."

"Then do you still remember me?"

"..." Gu Xing was silent.

"My name is Yu Qing, Qingcao Qing, you must remember it."

The girl finished speaking seriously, then her cheeks turned red, she made an excuse, and ran away quickly.

Gu Xing is someone who has been there, so he naturally understands the girl's emotions, but since he is no longer his original self, he naturally doesn't care too much.

What made him more concerned at this time was the strange movement of the book in his arms.

Seeing the girl running away, Gu Xing closed the door, then sat back in the yard, put the ginger soup aside, and took out the strange book.

The book seemed unchanged, but when he opened the cover, a strange picture appeared in front of him.

It was a humanoid but not human creature. The ink marks outlined its outline and ferociousness. The large blank space highlighted its mystery, and the blood color between black and white gave people a feeling of horror.

Under the picture, there is a line of words.

At first it was text similar to the cover, but in just a blink of an eye, it turned into Chinese characters that Gu Xing was familiar with.

【Charming】

[Illusive and weird]

[The genus of demons and monsters is born from humans, has no entity, is good at disguise, and likes to eat emotions. 】

【? ? ? 】

Is Yu Qing this so-called charm?

Gu Xing, who is familiar with all kinds of novels, immediately guessed the power of this book. His eyes widened immediately, and he had so many thoughts in his heart that he could not calm down.

But before he could think about it carefully, the clear voice sounded again.

"Ah Xing, you must remember to drink ginger soup!"

Gu Xing raised his head and looked around, then his pupils shrank suddenly and his heart beat violently.

I saw a face peeking out from the courtyard wall. The face still had a smile and a trace of blush on its cheeks.

But the courtyard wall is two meters high!

Without waiting for Gu Xing's response, some doubts appeared on that sweet and lovely face. She tilted her head, looked at Gu Xing, and said strangely.

"A Xing, why are you scared?"
