The Black Book

Zhu Haomiao fiddled with the bonfire with a wooden stick to make it burn more vigorously.

"Imperial Capital, Zhu Haomiao."

Hearing the young man's lazily answer, Liu Heng's tense nerves slowly relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Through close observation, he had roughly determined that the child opposite him was not a demon.

At this moment, several strong men filed in from behind Liu Heng, and they all screamed in surprise when they saw the corpse on the ground.

"Boss?!"

"Help this young master clean up and throw it away."

Waving his hands to signal his brothers not to ask any further questions, Liu Heng boldly took a few steps closer to Zhu Haomiao and bowed respectfully.

"Dare you ask me, sir..."

Zhu Haomiao, who was sitting on the steps, looked up at Liu Heng's tall and strong body, swept the ugly pig tail braids on his head, and instinctively frowned slightly, the impatient purple-gold light in his eyes flashed away.

"sit."

The unquestionable order made Liu Heng's heart tremble, and he quickly sat down not far from him, as if he had committed some serious crime, and felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that Liu Heng suppressed the fear in his chest, glanced at the little boy in awe, and secretly wiped away a cold sweat.

What kind of family can cultivate such power?

It's not obvious, but one sentence scared me so much that my hair stood on end!

This Ta Ma is still a child!

Quietly touching the goosebumps on his arms, Liu Heng continued to observe carefully.

"May I ask, sir, who are those two corpses?"

"I don't quite understand. He came to the door for no reason. I think he was attracted by the fire just like you..."

It was so noisy outside that he couldn't sleep. Zhu Haomiao poked at the bonfire out of boredom and briefly recounted the experience he had just experienced.

"It's a skin-wrapped ghoul! It specializes in eating lone travelers, and then wraps the victim's skin to attack others..."

Liu Heng blurted out confidently, but when he thought of the two remaining corpses, his words suddenly stopped.

Although one of them seems to have been twisted into a twist by invisible hands, the appearance of a corpse can still be vaguely seen, but the other one is simply a strange snake?

Although it was just a glimpse, the sight of the strange snake swallowing its own tail left a very deep impression on Liu Heng.

Subconsciously he glanced at Zhu Haomiao and saw that he had no desire to explain. Liu Heng could only secretly suppress his surprise and doubt in his heart.

"Boss, it's ready."

After a while, Lao Liu came over and reported quietly, while glancing at Zhu Haomiao nervously.

"Feed some refined grains for the animals. Let's have a good rest tonight. It will be easy to get on the boat tomorrow."

"Um."

Lao Liu nodded, and he and several brothers started to light a fire and cook food in the temple, leaving the eldest brother on guard in a tacit agreement.

At the same time, through close observation, Liu Hengxuan's heart was completely relieved, and he was basically sure that the child opposite him was a direct descendant of a wealthy family who had experienced the world.

Although there is a certain disguise, the whole thing is full of Tianhuang nobles' fantasies about the people at the bottom.

They probably thought that wearing patched clothes was already the worst, right?

But they don’t know that the real [Hundred Knot Quail Clothes] are pieced together from some tattered rags picked up from sewers, garbage dumps, even cesspits, and mass graves.

And I didn't dare to wash it at all. Once washed, the rags would become untied and rotten, so the disgusting rotten smell could be smelled from a long distance away!

No one could wear anything like what he was wearing. Although it was washed white and covered with patches, it was extremely clean and tidy.

And if you look carefully, you will find that the fabric used in his clothes has a very complicated and precise weaving process. The fine warp and weft threads are integrated into one piece, as thin as hair, but also quite thick.

Such high-end fabrics cannot be afforded by ordinary small landowner families!

Liu Heng moved his eyes away from the young man's clothes and looked at his white hands without a trace of calluses and his skin as white as milk, secretly cursing.

I didn’t touch the sun with my fingers, and I didn’t even get much exposure to the sun!

It would be difficult for ordinary aristocratic families to raise such a delicate young master. Only those royal relatives who have many servants coming and going, and who always have someone holding an umbrella to protect them from the sun can...

But he didn't shave his head. He should be a nobleman who came back from overseas.

His surname is Zhu, could he be a descendant of the previous royal family?

Thinking of this, Liu Heng twitched his nose gently without any trace, sniffing the faint fragrance coming from the young man's body, and his eyes became more cautious.

Although he had no research on rouge perfume, he could smell a kind of nobility and elegance that was difficult to describe in words.

Picked up by this kind of spice that was very expensive at first sight, perhaps worth as much as gold, Liu Heng couldn't even imagine that the young man in front of him had grown up among so many beauties and slaves of women!

hateful!

Why is it that this kind of life is so expensive that I can only live in the quagmire and earn some hard-earned money? !

"Um?"

As if he sensed something, the young man turned his head in surprise. Liu Heng's dark eyes awakened him, and he lowered his eyebrows and nodded in fright. The inexplicable jealousy in his mind disappeared instantly.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao looked at him strangely and frowned slightly.

Did this guy show off his health bar just now?

But why did it flash for a moment and then disappear?

Is it my misunderstanding?

After pondering for a few seconds, Zhu Haomiao subconsciously flicked his fingers, and a gorgeous and attractive gold coin began to roll lightly between his fingers, helping him organize his thoughts.

When he saw the gold coin in the boy's hand, Liu Heng's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes became a little dull and absent-minded.

This time, Zhu Haomiao clearly noticed that in the depths of his eyes, a dark black light that others could not observe quietly spread.

That was the original sin - [Greed]!

Swish~

With five fingers, the gold coin disappeared between his fingers like a magic trick. Zhu Haomiao clearly felt Liu Heng's eyes glare, and he was about to explode, but he reacted in an instant, and his muscles were tense and stiffened in place. After several seconds, he took a long breath and gradually relaxed.

Observing his abnormality carefully, Zhu Haomiao nodded as if he had realized something.

It was not an illusion, this guy's health bar did flash...

But maybe it was because of his rationality, or his [Tao Heart] was stronger, and he immediately dispelled the evil thoughts against himself.

So... [The Book of Black] would trigger the original sin in other people's hearts?

No wonder a certain "victim" was so angry before, it turned out that I magnified the "anger" in his heart...

But...why don't I have such a keen sense in reality?

Is it because the laws of reality are more strict?

Just as the boy covered his mouth and pondered, Liu Heng exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and clasped his fists with some fear.

"Sir, you are out alone, don't show off your wealth..."

"Oh, thank you for reminding me."

Zhu Haomiao gave Liu Heng a kind smile. From the test just now, it can be seen that he is a rational person who can restrain his desires.

I'm sorry for deceiving you for so long. In fact, I am a primary school student from the countryside. I have been working and pretending to be strong. Recently, I can't pretend anymore. I hope everyone can send some votes on June 1 to comfort me. Thank you brothers and sisters~(*^▽^*)
