Deep in the Anhui Mountains, on top of a large rock, a man in white sat cross-legged.

It was dawn, the mountain breeze was gentle, the birds were chirping, the stream was murmuring, and there was a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

The man didn't move, as if he had stopped breathing, as if he had become one with the heavens and the earth.

Not far from the man, among the trees, there was a small courtyard. A little girl of seven or eight years old was coming out of the courtyard and walking towards the man.

The little girl was dressed in red, with two pigtails on her hair, big black eyes, a red face, and a ruddy little mouth, as pink and cute as a porcelain doll.

The little girl walked up to the man. "Daddy, what are you doing?"

The man frowned slightly when he was interrupted, but when he opened his eyes and saw the girl, he immediately showed a loving smile. "Meditate."

"Meditate? What is meditation? The little girl pouted, and the man frowned.

"Absorb the aura of heaven and earth, feel the vitality of all things, melt the essence of the sun and the moon, and return to the four seas in the dantian, this is called meditation."

"Daddy, I don't understand." The little girl shook her head.

"When you grow up a little more, Daddy will teach you."

"Yes, yes. If you learn it, will you be as powerful as your father? ”

"You're definitely going to be even better than Daddy."

"Hmmm! Hehe. ”

"Hey, you two, it's time to eat."

At this moment, a young woman appeared behind them and beckoned to them.

"Okay." The man jumped off the stone, reached out and took the little girl into his arms, and kissed the little girl on the face.

"Pierce, pierce, don't, don't, daddy hates it." The little girl dodged and pushed the man's face away with her little hand, and the man had a happy smile on his face. "Yes, yes." The man continued to kiss as he spoke, and the little girl hurriedly shook her head to dodge.

The young woman smiled sweetly as she watched the father and daughter frolicking. "It's time to eat," the young woman was halfway through her sentence when her eyes suddenly widened and her face was full of pain. The woman reached out to the man and opened her mouth wide to say something, but blood poured out of her mouth, and then the woman's chest turned red. With a pop, a hand came out of the woman's chest.

Behind the woman, a man dressed in a black robe appeared with only a pair of blood-red eyes. The man looked at the man greedily, his blood-red eyes glowing with demonic fluorescence.

"Yingying!" The man was shocked when he noticed the woman's abnormality. He wanted to rush forward immediately, but remembered that he still had the child in his hand, and when he looked back at the child, the child in his arms was gone.

"Hello!" The man panicked, and when he turned his head to look around, he found that the child was already in the hands of the red-eyed man.

"Hello! Give back my baby! The man fell into a frenzy and desperately pounced on the red-eyed man opposite, but when he pounced on the man, the man disappeared.

"Hello! Yingying! The man's face was frightened, and he kept turning in circles, waving his hands vigorously and letting out a heart-rending cry. However, the red-eyed man was long gone, surrounded only by quiet mountains and trees.

"Hello! Yingying! The man fell to his knees, in pain.

"Daddy! Daddy! The call of a girl could be heard in the distance.

"Huh?" The man seemed to find hope, and quickly stood up and chased after the voice.

In the sky above the courtyard, the man found that the red-eyed man was pinching Nan Nan's neck with one hand, and the other hand was passing through Ying Ying's chest, holding Ying Ying's body, and laughing at himself.

"Help me! Save me! Ying Ying stretched out her hand and waved it weakly, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

"Ahh The man let out an earth-shattering roar, panting, and with blood-red tears on his face, he rushed towards the red-eyed man as fast as he could. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was never able to get close to the other party, which caused the man to fall into mania and despair.

"Ahh Ahh The man seemed to lose his reason, and his voice gradually distorted, and before he knew it, it turned into the roar of a wild beast. He was barefoot, running rapidly through the mountains and forests, and the red-eyed man in front of the tracker did not dare to stop for a moment. "Hello! Yingying! In his mind, only those two names remained.

Suddenly, the red-eyed man appeared above him again, but the child and woman were long gone. "Find her, use her and exchange them back." After the red-eyed man finished speaking, he disappeared again in an instant.

For some reason, the figure of a girl appeared in the man's mind. The girl was fourteen or fifteen years old, with big handsome eyes, a small nose, thin but angular lips, and a small black mole at the corner of her mouth.

"Find her! Find her! The man muttered silently as he ran forward. In front of the man, two figures suddenly appeared. The two of them, dressed in coarse cloth clothes and carrying a load of wood fire on their shoulders, were chatting as they walked.

"Ahh The man hurried away, trying to get them out of the way, but the words turned into a roar.

"Ahh Ghost! A man with a fire looked back and immediately let out a cry of fear. Behind them, a monster with fiery red skin, black spikes, claws on its hands and feet, and a mouth full of fangs was charging at them with great vigour.

Bang!

Because they couldn't dodge, the two were knocked into the air by the fiery red monster, fell into the mountain streams on both sides, and immediately fainted.

The man seemed to want to stop and check, but he was worried about Nan Nan and Yingying, gritted his teeth and shook his head, and continued to run forward.

A moment later, more than a dozen monsters similar to the man appeared from behind the man, but these monsters had gray complexions, and although their hands and feet were clawed, and their mouths were full of fangs, they had no spikes on their bodies. The monsters ran up to the unconscious man and rushed to him as if they had seen food.

Click! Click! Click!

In the mountains and forests, only the sound of loud chewing remains.

………

Shengtang County Chengnan Cemetery.

In the woods next to the cemetery, there is a lonely courtyard.

"Old man, do you hear anything?"

"Don't be suspicious."

"They say this house is haunted."

"What? What is the difference between us and ghosts now? ”

"Hey!"

"Go to sleep, Edamame is coming to see us tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Hmm. When Young Master Miao'er came to deliver food, he told me in person. ”

"Great! Hehe. ”

Crash... Crash... Sou...

"What a sound!"

"Wind! What's wrong with you, old woman. ”

"Oh, but..."

"Still sleeping?"

"Sleep! Sleep! Ay! ”

Old Madam Feng rolled over, but her heart was still uneasy.

"Meow! Meow! ”

"Listen, old man!"

"What am I listening to?"

"Meow! Meow! Huh..."

"Did you hear that?"

"It's like... Soybean? ”

"Yes, it's edamame."

The two old men hurriedly rolled over and got out of bed, came to the door in three steps and two steps, and opened the door.

"Haha." Edamame stood outside the door, smiling evilly.

"You little villain." Old Madam Feng immediately bent down and hugged her precious grandson into her arms. "It's so late, why are you here?"

"I miss you." The little guy looked naughty, but there were tears in his eyes.

"My good boy." When Mrs. Feng heard this, she couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"Come in, close the door, close the door." Old man Feng pretended to be calm, but he couldn't help choking. Originally, there was a large family, but now there are only three of them left, and no one will feel good.

Squeak!

Just as the door was about to close, a figure suddenly appeared in the corner, trying to get inside.

Whoa!

A series of chains, followed by the sound of rustling.

"Who?" Old Man Feng's voice came from inside the house.

"Hmm..."

It seems that someone has their mouth covered. Old Man Feng's heart tightened, but after hesitating for a while, he still didn't dare to stretch out his head to look out.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Old Lady Feng urged in the house.

"No, it's fine." Old man Feng closed the door.

"My little ancestor, how did you climb into the yard?"

"There's a big tree outside the yard, and I climbed it up."

"You're such a little monkey."

"Hee-hee, I'm the Monkey King, a big monkey, not a little monkey."

"Haha, good, good, big monkey."

A moment later, there was laughter in the room.

Crash... Crash...

The sound of chains dragging in the courtyard was heard, but it was impossible for anyone in the house to hear it.

"You rootless geist, we've finally caught you this time." The voice was as sharp as a needle, and the scalp of those who listened to it was numb.

"Hmm..."

"I want to shout, no way!"

"You've been hiding in this mansion for a year, and now someone is finally living in, haha." The other voice was a little deeper, but still uncomfortable.

"Long nights and dreams, don't talk nonsense with her."

Crash... Crash...

"I want to pee."

At that moment, the door suddenly opened, and a stream of urine came out of the crack in the door.

Yikes! Yikes!

"Wow..."

"Oops..."

Boom! Boom!

Two puffs of white smoke rose from the courtyard, accompanied by two terrible cries.

"Edamame, grandma has a jar here, how can anyone pee at the door, be careful to rush the door."

Edamame was originally stunned in place, but when he heard Old Lady Feng's voice, he immediately laughed. "Hey, grandma, I'm peeing to the door, I'm peeing to the door!"

"Nonsense, don't come in yet."

"Oh, haha, that's fun." Edamame laughed heartlessly.

Sou...

Edamame turned around to leave, only to feel a chill in his body, and couldn't help but stand in place again. "Huh?" Edamame twisted his head, moved his body a little, and didn't notice anything unusual, shrugged his shoulders and went back to the house.

"Little Ancestor, come back quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Oh, haha."

The courtyard was calm again, and only the two stalls of ash left on the ground indicated that something had just happened, but they quickly disappeared under the wind.
