Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

People like to eat emotions, so they can naturally feel emotions.

Thinking of this, Gu Xing immediately suppressed his messy emotions and pretended to complain using the acting skills he had trained since childhood to deal with adults.

"You scared me. I thought the water monkey came to see me again."

His acting skills were perfect, and Yu Qing had no doubts and just warned him seriously.

"A Xing, don't go to the river again if you have nothing to do. Water monkeys are very vindictive."

After saying goodbye again, the face on the courtyard wall finally fell down.

But Gu Xing did not relax his vigilance. It was not until he heard the footsteps disappearing and several minutes passed that he began to hold his chest and breathe heavily.

Now he regrets it a little. He originally thought that time travel would be a good thing for people like him who have no bonds.

But this world seemed a little scary, and he was afraid that his heart might not be able to bear it.

Compared to his heart being unable to bear it, he was more afraid that he would suddenly and inexplicably die one day.

After all, just today, he encountered two strange existences, the water monkey and the human charm.

By the way, how did the original owner grow so big?

There are these weird things...

By the way, the book seems to call them something weird.

Gu Xing opened the book again and looked at the line "illusory and weird", and couldn't help but speculate in his mind.

Weird should be the collective name for these strange existences, while illusory species should be a category of weird.

Gu Xing looked at another line of words——

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

From this, we can also derive some characteristics of human charm, which is that it has no entity, is good at pretending to be human, and likes to absorb emotions.

Moreover, because he likes to absorb emotions, he will not actively kill humans?

After all, if you don’t take good care of the cows, there will be no sweet milk to drink.

When he thought of milk, Gu Xing felt a gurgling sound coming from his stomach.

He is hungry.

Also, it has been a few hours since he fell into the water, and even if he is full of river water, he has almost finished digesting it.

So he stood up and prepared to search for something to eat.

Before that, he looked at the strange book in his hand, but he still couldn't understand the cover. Thinking of his possible tragic situation next, he took pleasure in the misery.

"I can't understand your cover anyway. Since you can record such weird things, why not call you a weird book!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he discovered that the strange words on the cover of the mysterious book suddenly turned into the word "Cunning Book".

Gu Xing was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and then smiled sarcastically.

"Brother Guishu, please take more care of me from now on."

……

The food in this world is similar to rice, but it is yellow.

Gu Xing took some dry goods and tried to cook a bowl of porridge. It tasted pretty good.

It was the appearance of the dry stuff that made him a little curious. It looked like squid tentacles, but they were shriveled and didn't taste like meat, but more like mushrooms.

After finishing the meal, Yu Qing came again and took away the bowl of ginger soup.

Naturally, Gu Xing didn't drink the ginger soup and fell in the corner.

In this conversation, Gu Xing did not show any timidity at all. After chatting openly for a few words, he said goodbye to Yu Qing.

After Yu Qing, several more people came. They claimed to be Gu Xing's elders. They briefly chatted and asked him to take good care of himself before leaving.

Gu Xing naturally did not waste these several conversations. From their mouths, he learned one thing, that is, the coming-of-age ceremony in the village was about to be held.

The time is tomorrow.

This special time made Gu Xing's thoughts wander.

After all, the day before the coming-of-age ceremony, he almost... no, it could be said that he died.

Is this someone who doesn’t want to spend their coming-of-age ceremony?

Gu Xing, who was full of doubts, was looking forward to the next villager to answer his questions. Unfortunately, no one knocked on the wooden door of the small courtyard until sunset.

As night approached, Gu Xing thought of another question, how to light it at night?

So he searched everywhere in the room, but he couldn't find anything like candles, oil lamps or anything like that.

Is it because the world cannot light up at night, or is it simply that the original owner cannot afford it?

Seeing that it was getting darker and darker, Gu Xing had no choice but to cook another bowl of porridge in a hurry and went to bed.

And this time when he lay down, he didn't know if he had suddenly traveled through time. He was too tired. After just a moment, he fell asleep.

Not long after he fell asleep, he vaguely heard someone calling him.

"Okay, okay..."

It seems a little familiar...

A word called mother appeared in Gu Xing's subconscious.

He felt something was wrong, but there seemed to be some joy in his heart.

So he responded.

"Eh!"

With this answer, the one who called him seemed even happier.

And Gu Xing also got out of bed following the call.

The cold moonlight shines through the window and shines on his face, his eyes are still closed.

Gu Xing didn't seem to notice, so he opened the door, walked into the yard, then pulled the door bolt and walked out.

The village was dark, with only the outer areas lit by dots of firelight.

He stepped on the mud and did not stop even when his bare feet were covered with mud.

The wind was colder at night, and a shrill scream came from far away, and there was a light of fire approaching in his direction.

The fire gradually came closer, and suddenly, a rough voice sounded under the moonlight.

"Gu Xing?"

The man under the fire was about to approach, but his companion stopped him in time.

"Wait a minute, try using the magic amulet first."

"What are you afraid of in the village?"

Although he said this, the man still took out a palm-sized talisman from his arms. The writing on the talisman was crooked and looked a little strange.

And when the man approached Gu Xing with the talisman, the talisman actually shimmered.

The man's expression changed, and with a flick of his hand, the evil amulet landed on Gu Xing's forehead.

Immediately, the evil-repelling talisman burned violently. When it was halfway burning, Gu Xing opened his confused eyes.

Then, he looked at the man in front of him, then looked at the dark surroundings, and wondered.

"Uncle Zhuang? What's going on?"

The man visited Gu Xing this afternoon, and Gu Xing also learned the man's name, which was Niu Dazhuang.

But unlike his name, Niu Dazhuang seems to be a person with a sharp mind.

Therefore, when faced with Gu Xing's question, Niu Dazhuang did not answer, but took out another exorcism charm. He was relieved when he saw that the exorcism charm did not respond.

"You just sleepwalked. What happened?" he asked.

Sleepwalking?

Gu Xing was stunned for a moment, then frowned, remembering something was wrong after he fell asleep, and then he told Niu Dazhuang all this.

When Niu Dazhuang heard this, he looked at his companions and said in unison.

"Call people weird!"

But then Niu Dazhuang had some doubts.

"I haven't found anyone calling me strange recently near the village. Could it be possible..."

The two looked at each other again and nodded silently. This scene made Gu Xing feel a little strange, so he asked.

"what happened?"

"Go and see your house."

Although he still had doubts, Gu Xing still accompanied them to his yard.

Fortunately, the village was not too big, and they returned to Gu Xing's yard after a while.

At this moment, the exorcism charm that Niu Dazhuang had been holding suddenly shimmered, and then his solemn voice sounded in the dark night.

"Sure enough, someone wants to harm you."
