Chapter II Ashes

Zhou Xuan digested the information in his mind, his expression was a little sluggish, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

According to the information in my mind, I should have encountered the legendary Golden Finger.

This surprised and delighted Zhou Xuan. In just one day, Zhou Xuan saw the horror of this world.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan began to study this piece of information. After all, this might be his support in this dangerous world.

The so-called spirituality, according to the information, should be something obtained after killing rats.

I haven't learned the spell myself, so it shows None.

The deduction seemed like a button, and Zhou Xuan did not move it no matter what he did in his mind.

Maybe some trigger condition has not been reached.

After tinkering around, I didn't find any other functions.

Zhou Xuan fell on the bed tiredly, his heart full of confusion and panic about the unknown world.

This ancient world is not an ordinary world, it is a world with demons.

This is not an era where you can happily pretend to be cool with the help of little knowledge from your past life, farm your fields, and tease your little maid when you have nothing to do.

If the information panel hadn't suddenly opened, I'm afraid it would have been stolen by thieves today.

By now, both the mouse and Zhou Dazhi had been wiped out. If the information panel hadn't been there and there were claw marks on the sheets, Zhou Xuan might have thought he was having a nightmare.

Zhou Xuan fell into a deep sleep, during which he dreamed of that boring and uninteresting rental house.

During this period, Uncle Liu heard the noise and knocked on the door, but Zhou Xuan found an excuse to excuse him.

The next day, Zhou Xuan woke up and saw the same room, feeling helpless.

They come, the security.

Zhou Xuan made up his mind that things must not be revealed tonight.

Zhou Dazhi had long since turned into ashes, and no one knew about it except himself.

This guy is alone, and no one is looking for him.

If Zhou Xuan tells what happened tonight, what if someone discovers something strange about him or thinks he is an evil spirit occupying his body?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan got out of bed and planned to go to the study to learn more about the world.

Uncle Liu walked in with a food box and said happily: "Young master, can you get out of bed?"

"Yeah, I feel better now. Let's get out of bed and take a walk."

Zhou Xuan took the food box, picked up a bowl of porridge and drank it.

He didn't talk much during this period and tried to act like a normal nerd.

You can only change yourself slowly, not too radically.

In order to avoid attention, Zhou Xuan had to do it step by step, so that people would only think that this nerd was sensible.

Uncle Liu wondered: "The door of Dazhi's room is closed this week. It's already this hour, why haven't you come out yet?"

This guy used to get up early and go to the casino and brothel to hang out.

Uncle Liu didn't see Zhou Dazhi when he woke up early in the morning, so he was a little confused.

Zhou Xuan did not answer, but continued to eat.

Uncle Liu was also busy with his own affairs.

No matter how dilapidated the Zhou family is, it is still for the poor.

Now my family is fairly well off, with three shops in the city and a hundred acres of land.

One store was sold by Zhou Dazhi, and the other two stores are still in the hands of the Zhou family.

After eating, Zhou Xuan came to the study.

Pushing open the vermilion door, you will be greeted by the fragrance of ink and a smell of moisture.

There are rows of books in the study, with a mahogany desk in the middle, without a trace of dust on it.

My predecessor, Zhou Xuan, liked reading, but he repeatedly failed in the examinations for academic merit, so he was called a nerd.

Zhou Xuan found several county annals based on his memory.

Open the books and carefully search for information about the world.

"In the eighteenth year of Yuanjia in the Great Qi Dynasty, there was a giant lotus in the pond of Lijia Village, Wannian County. The red lotus was filled with immortal energy. It was said that those who entered the lotus became immortals. Hundreds of people who threw themselves into the lotus disappeared without a trace. The county magistrate ordered people to drain the pond water.

The lotus is actually the mouth of a giant snake, and there are hundreds of skeletons at the bottom of the pool; the so-called immortal energy is the miasma of the giant snake, and the giant snake will flee when it sees people."

"In the ninth year of Da Qi Jinghe, several people in Guojiaya went crazy for no reason and bit many people to death. From time to time, strong men killed them, and the corpses were burned for several days."

"In the eleventh year of Da Qijinghe, thirty members of the Zhang family died mysteriously. The bones were all intact, with smiles on their faces..."

"The third year of Da Qi Jingping..."

The county annals record various major events in the 28 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. In addition to the ordinary flood control and agricultural promotion, there are also these weird things.

Altogether, there are more than 100 cases, and one occurs every two to three years on average.

A small part of these things were solved, but most of them were without beginning or end, and the people died in vain.

Through these county annals, Zhou Xuan could vaguely see that the imperial court seemed to have methods to deal with monsters and monsters.

The article does not mention specific things, but usually uses the words "strong man" and "stranger" instead.

It seems that the people who possess mysterious powers in this world are not so unscrupulous.

Otherwise, Zhou Dazhi would have killed himself three months ago, so why wait secretly until now.

"I want to practice..." Zhou Xuan muttered to himself.

This world is too dangerous. If the golden finger hadn't suddenly activated, I'm afraid Zhou Xuan might have been one of the above.

If you want to survive safely in this world, you can only practice magic.

Zhou Xuan did not have any thoughts of seeking hegemony in the world or becoming a god and ancestor. He preferred to be a carefree little landowner.

But in this troubled world, there are basically no conditions for stable survival.

Zhou Xuan never wanted to feel the feeling of being unable to recover from last night.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan frantically checked books, making the bookshelf a mess.

Zhou Xuan secretly decided that even if he sold his property, he would still join the training sect.

Maybe it's just as dangerous there, but Zhou Xuan can control his own destiny.

"Why are there no training sects such as Taoist temples and Buddhist temples..." Zhou Xuan muttered to himself.

I have read almost all the classics, but there is still no relevant information.

This dynasty is named Qi, and the emperor's surname is Liu. It has unified the world for 280 years and has gone through sixteen emperors. It is not any dynasty that I am familiar with.

Well-known sects such as Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, and Wudou Mi Road have almost no records and have never appeared in history books.

"Really?" Zhou Xuan was a little disappointed.

Judging from the information revealed in the county annals, there should be mysterious power in this world.

Maybe others don't believe it, but after experiencing the supernatural incident last night, Zhou Xuan has no doubt about it.

The reason why Zhou Xuan wanted to practice cultivation was not to achieve great achievements, he just wanted to protect one-third of an acre of land.

An Xin can be a small landowner with no ambitions, marry a wife, have children, and live until old age and death.

"Forget it, if not, there won't be. The world is so big, it's impossible for all bad things to happen to me." Zhou Xuan thought to himself.

I'll move to the county town in a few days, where it will be safer.

I am just an ordinary person, and not all strangers are as greedy for money as Zhou Dazhi.

By the way, Zhou Dazhi!

Zhou Xuan had a flash of inspiration.

Doesn't Zhou Dazhi know magic? You can go to Zhou Dazhi's room and have a look.

Then he stood up and walked to Zhou Dazhi's room. After confirming that there was nothing unusual in the room, Zhou Xuan pried open the door.

As soon as I entered, I smelled the scent of sandalwood, as if someone had been burning incense in the room all year round.

There seemed to be a ball of dust under the table and chairs.

This ball of ashes must be Zhou Dazhi ‘himself’.
