The world of Taoism

Chapter 2 Ashes
Zhou Xuan digested the information in his mind, his expression was a little dull, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

Judging from the information in his mind, he should have encountered the legendary golden finger.

This golden light is the energy that the gold finger starts to explode.

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, it might be his reliance in this dangerous world.

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

The spell is not learned by itself, so it shows None.

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

Perhaps some trigger condition was not met.

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

Zhou Xuan fell on the bed exhausted, 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 the time to let yourself be happy with the little knowledge of the previous life to pretend to be forceful, to farm, and to flirt with the little maid for nothing,

If it wasn't for the sudden opening of the information panel and killing the monster, I'm afraid it would have been in the hands of thieves today.

Now the mouse and Zhou Dazhi had disappeared, if not for the fact that the information panel was still there and there were claw marks on the bed sheet, Zhou Xuan might have thought it was a nightmare.

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

During the period, Uncle Liu heard the noise and knocked on the door, Zhou Xuan just found a reason to prevaricate.

The next day, Zhou Xuanyou woke up and saw that this room was still there, filled with helplessness.

They come, the security.

Zhou Xuan made up his mind that what happened last night must not be revealed.

Zhou Dazhi had already 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 told about what happened last night, what if people found out that he was strange, what if he was regarded as an evil spirit occupying the flesh.

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

Uncle Liu came in with a food box, and said happily when he saw this: "Young Master, can you get out of bed?"

"Yeah, I feel better, get out of bed and take a walk."

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

Didn't talk much during the period, trying to act like a normal nerd.

Your own changes can only be changed slowly, not too radically.

In order not to attract attention, Zhou Xuan had to take it step by step, so that people would only think that this nerd was sensible.

Uncle Liu wondered, "This week, the door of Dazhi's room was closed. It's already this hour, why hasn't he come out yet?"

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

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

Zhou Xuan didn't answer, but continued to eat.

Uncle Liu was also busy with his own affairs.

No matter how poor the Zhou family was, it was for the rich.

The current family is still well-to-do. There are three shops in the city and a hundred acres of land.

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

After eating, Zhou Xuan came to the study.

Pushing open the vermilion door, a scent of ink and a damp breath came.

There are rows of books in the study room, and there is a mahogany desk in the middle, without a trace of dust on it.

In his predecessor, Zhou Xuan liked to read books, but failed in the merit test many times, so he was called a nerd.

Zhou Xuan found several county chronicles according to his memory.

Spread out the books and carefully search for information about this world.

"In the 18th year of Yuanjia in the Great Qi Dynasty, there was a giant lotus in the pond of Lijia Village in Wannian County. It was the mouth of a giant snake, with 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 flees when it sees people."

"In the ninth year of Jinghe in Daqi, a few people in Guojiaya went berserk for no reason, and killed many people. Sometimes a strong man killed them, and their bodies were burned for several days."

"In the 11th year of Daqi Jinghe, [-] members of the Zhang family died strangely, all the bones were intact, with smiles on their faces..."

"Da Qi Jingping three years..."

The county chronicles record all the major events in the past [-] years since the founding of the country. Apart from the ordinary flood control and encouragement of agriculture, it is these weird things.

All together, there are more than 100 cases, and an average of one case occurs every two or three years.

A small part of these things were resolved, and most of them had no beginning or end, and the people died in vain.

Through these county annals, Zhou Xuan could vaguely see that the imperial court also seemed to have means to deal with demons and ghosts.

The article does not say anything specific, and is usually replaced by 'strong man' and 'different person'.

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

Otherwise, Zhou Dazhi would have killed himself three months ago, so why wait until now in a sneaky way.

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

This world is too dangerous, if not for the sudden activation of the golden finger, I am afraid that Zhou Xuan might be one of the above.

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

Zhou Xuan didn't have the idea of ​​fighting for hegemony, or becoming a god and ancestor, he preferred to be a carefree little landlord.

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

Zhou Xuan no longer wanted to experience the feeling of powerlessness last night.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan went through the books frantically, making a mess on the bookshelf.

Zhou Xuan secretly decided that no matter what he said, he would join the cultivation sect.

Perhaps it was equally dangerous there, but Zhou Xuan could control his own destiny.

"Why didn't you practice magic arts..." Zhou Xuan thought to himself.

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

The name of this dynasty is Qi, and the emperor's surname is Liu. It has unified the world for 280 years, and it has gone through [-] emperors. It is not any dynasty that I am familiar with.

There has never been a trace of a practice sect in the history books. .

"Really not?"

Zhou Xuan felt a little lost.

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

Maybe other people don't believe it, but after experiencing the supernatural event last night, Zhou Xuan has no doubts about it.

The reason why Zhou Xuan wanted to practice was not because he wanted to accomplish much, but because he wanted to guard an acre of land.

Peace of mind to be a small landlord with no ambitions, marry a wife and have children, and live until the end of old age.

"Forget it, if there is nothing, then there is nothing. The world is so big, it is impossible for all bad things to happen to me." Zhou Xuan thought to himself.

I am just an ordinary person, not all other people are as greedy 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 to have a look.

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

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

There seemed to be a cloud of dust under the tables and chairs.

This mass of ashes must be Zhou Dazhi' himself.

Sweeping away the ashes, looking at the ashes flying all over the sky outside the door, Zhou Xuan smiled happily: "If you dare to plot against me, all the ashes will be thrown away!"
