Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

"Well, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Without pushing further, Gu Xing decisively moved away from the door.

At the same time, he was looking through the mysterious book in his mind.

Unfortunately, there are no clear pictures and introductions because he has too little contact with the weird.

Then, he fell into deep thought.

Could there be something strange lurking in this Taoist courtyard?

As he moved away, there was no further sound coming from the door.

Then, he turned around and came to Roy's door.

Knocked on the door, no accident happened, the door opened.

"Ah, Brother Gu, what's the matter with you?" Roy was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect Gu Xing to knock on the door so soon.

However, Gu Xing's words made him a little confused.

"It's okay, I just want to remind you, don't knock on other people's doors if you have nothing to do."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not necessarily a person inside the door."

After saying that, without waiting for Roy's reaction, Gu Xing was ready to leave.

"Ah, wait, where are you going?" Roy asked quickly.

"Go for a walk outside."

"Then wait a moment and I'll go with you?"

"what ever."

So, Roy followed Gu Xing, and then he asked.

"Brother Gu, what do you mean by what you just said?"

"literal meaning."

"Did you find anything?"

"Didn't you notice that since we came to this courtyard, we haven't seen anyone else?"

"It seems so!"

While continuing to talk, the two went downstairs, but still saw no one else.

Then, Gu Xing walked towards the place where they came in.

However, when they arrived at the door, they discovered that the lights in the courtyard were bright, but outside the courtyard, it was pitch black.

The palms of his hands were constantly vibrating, and the cunning book was warning. However, Gu Xing looked around, but found nothing unusual.

But no exception is the biggest exception.

"Go, go back!"

He said seriously, turning his head and preparing to call Roy to go back to the room first.

However, when he turned his head, there was silence behind him, and Roy could not be seen.

problem occurs!

Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Gu Xing did not panic. He first took out a magic amulet from his arms.

After leaving the escort team, the village will naturally not continue to issue evil charms to him. This evil charm was given to him by Taoist Priest Xun before leaving, along with several other basic charms.

He took out the talisman, but there was no response. This made Gu Xing frown and tighten his grip on the black iron machete.

"Roy?" he tried.

The voice echoed in the empty courtyard, but there was no response.

"Is anyone here?"

He tried shouting again, but the surroundings remained quiet, as if he was the only one left in the world.

How to do?

Do you want to leave the courtyard?

Gu Xing looked at the darkness outside, and then at the lights in the courtyard.

The light is a fixed high table lamp with a metal hollow lampshade.

Gu Xing tried to move, but found that he could not even open the lampshade, so he gave up his plan to use the lights.

So, go back?

Gu Xing felt a little reluctant when he thought of Roy who had disappeared inexplicably.

But at this moment, a guess flashed through his mind.

Then he took out the evil charm and threw it into the darkness.

The talisman fell into the darkness, but there was still no reaction.

Then Gu Xing understood that this was not a strange invasion at all, but a Taoist arrangement, which should be a test for them.

But what is the test?

Resilience?

Combat ability?

Gu Xing was too lazy to guess, and he didn't want the magic amulet anymore, so he just picked up the knife and prepared to go back to the room.

Roy was probably not in danger anyway, so he might as well go back to his room and sleep directly.

But the person who was secretly controlling everything didn't seem to intend to let him go just like that.

After Gu Xing took a few steps, he noticed something unusual. He couldn't find his house.

Looking left and right, it seems that all the houses look the same.

He was not in a hurry, so he chose a house at random and walked in.

As soon as I entered, the door slammed shut.

Gu Xing looked back, didn't care, and walked forward.

But unlike before, this time almost all the doors have signs.

Gu Xing turned around and went up to the second floor with the knife.

Almost everything on the second floor has signs, except for the one in the corner.

Coincidentally, this house was exactly the same as the location Gu Xing had chosen before.

He smiled and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, countless dust suddenly fell down inside the door, choking the unprepared Gu Xing.

"Bah bah bah!"

After wiping his mouth, Gu Xing had time to observe the inside of the room.

It seemed that someone had lived in the room. There were two packages. One was open and the contents had been taken out, while the other was tightly wrapped.

There was some food on the table, but it was already rotten.

The bedding on the side was neat, but covered with dust.

The lamp on the counter had been burning for an unknown period of time. The lamp oil inside was still burning, and the flame was still burning fiercely.

Gu Xing looked at this scene with some familiarity, and suddenly realized it.

Isn't this your own room?

He had been gone for only a quarter of an hour, and the place had become like this?

It can’t be that I have traveled back in time to an unknown amount of time, right?

Gu Xing complained in his mind, but he didn't panic too much.

Then he walked out and knocked on the door opposite.

"Who?" It was still a dull voice, but it seemed to be a little older.

Gu Xing ignored it and went to knock on the room Roy chose.

"Boom boom boom!"

no respond.

So Gu Xing reached out and pushed, and the door was easily pushed open.

The lights were still lit in the room, and the firelight shone on the bed. A skeleton lay there quietly, wearing Gu Xing's familiar clothes.

Gu Xing glanced at the skeleton for a few times, and then came to the lamp.

The lamps here are almost all of the same style, but the ones in the courtyard are larger and the ones in the corridors and rooms are smaller.

As for the lamp in front of me, although the lampshade was also covered with dust, the light inside was burning fiercely.

He probably understood what the problem was, but instead of touching the lamp, he returned to his room.

After rummaging around the room, he pulled out a water bladder.

There was still water in the water bag. He smelled it and found it had a foul smell.

But he didn't care. He came directly to the light and dumped the water bag.

The foul-smelling water fell on the lamp, which did not extinguish the flame, but made it burn even more fiercely.

But Gu Xing smiled, picked up the black iron machete, added a sharp edge, and then slashed hard.

The sword light bloomed more violently than the flames in the lamp, and the red flame sword wind fell on the lamp, bursting out with blazing light.

Then, Gu Xing seemed to hear a cry, and then his vision went dark.

In the darkness, he was a little confused at first, but then he woke up and heard an anxious voice calling him.

"Brother Gu!"

"Brother Gu!"

"Are you OK?"

"..."

Gu Xing opened his eyes and saw Roy with an anxious look on his face.

Roy seemed relieved to see him wake up, and then asked.

"Brother Gu, what happened to you just now?"

Gu Xing turned around and looked at the tall lamps scattered everywhere in the courtyard. He was silent for a moment, and then smiled.

"Maybe it's some people's bad taste!"
