The purple light that filled the sky filled the field of vision, and countless lights and shadows flew by.

Chu Qiguang only felt that his body seemed to cross an infinite distance, and in the purple light that protected him, he seemed to be faintly seeing characters circulating.

The characters were like clouds and smoke, and they were fonts that Chu Qiguang had never seen before, but for some reason, a kind of enlightenment surged up in his heart, allowing him to understand the meaning of these words.

"The Secret of the Purple Mansion. ”

With this burst of enlightenment, the purple light flourished, and Chu Qiguang felt as if his brain had been hit hard in an instant, and he passed out directly.

......

Chu Qiguang blinked, looking at the flat land not far in front of him, the crooked earthen houses, the barren farmland, and the men and women who came and went to farm, and countless thoughts flowed in his heart.

This is already his fifth day in this body.

In the past five days, there has been no electricity, no Internet, and no mobile phones, and all you can see is a scene of the ancient countryside.

'Alas, why did I come to such a place, I have been working on the earth for so long, and I have made so much money...... It's gone, it's all gone. ’

And Zhou Bai's kid...... owed me so much money and didn't pay it back, I originally wanted to pull him to ask me for an account, but now it's cheaper for him. ’

Chu Qiguang touched his chest, the more he thought about it, the more painful it became, and he could only focus his attention on the world in front of him again.

'The Secret of the Purple Mansion...... What the hell is that? Send me here, can you send me back?

It's a pity that except for the purple light and the special words he saw during the previous crossing, Chu Qiguang didn't see any other clues, and he had no clue about the so-called secret of the purple mansion.

And for five days, Chu Qiguang didn't dare to do anything abnormal, just browsing the memories brought by this body, while carefully doing what the owner of this body, 'Ergou', would do in the past, while carefully observing the village in front of him.

It seems that because Ergou's memory and Chu Qiguang's memory are well integrated, he is very adaptable to the world in front of him, and he does not show any flaws.

"This seems to be the countryside of some ancient society. ”

"Judging by the starry sky at night, what Polaris, Orion, Sirius...... I can't find all kinds of familiar constellations, isn't this place the Earth anymore?"

"Well, I can't think of a way to go back in that case...... It's better to think about how to improve the quality of life now, the life here is too hard, at least we must solve the problem of food and clothing first, and we can't go hungry again. ”

No air conditioning, no internet...... There is not enough food and clothing, and the living environment at this moment is too bad for Chu Qiguang, who has the best enjoyment in his life, so that he wants to improve the situation extremely much.

And with Chu Qiguang's meticulous observation, he could feel that the world in front of him was indeed very different from where he had been in the past.

When he walked to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, he saw several old people from the village sitting under the tree, and there were five or six young men standing around, listening to the stories told by the old people with an expectant expression.

Chu Qiguang also found a place to sit down casually, in addition to Ergou's memory, the old people in this village bragging and farting every day is another channel for him to understand the world.

An old farmer with gray hair and wrinkles on his face like ravines waved his fan and sighed, "Have you heard of the corpse mutiny case in Boxing County?"

Seeing the people around him shaking their heads one by one, the old farmer's face was pale: "This is what I listened to when I went to the grain shop in the county to sell grain, and I said that there is a village called Changle Dian under Boxing County, which is the main road to the south, and it has gradually become a climate ...... when there are many inns and restaurants gathered in the past."

A teenager couldn't help but say, "Genbo, don't talk about this, who doesn't know the origin of the Changle shop? The other teenagers followed suit.

Seeing their anxious looks, Genbo smiled slightly, deliberately slowed down again, and whetted everyone's appetite, and then continued: "It is said that there is an old man surnamed Cai in the Changle shop, and he and his son set up an inn on the road together, which is dedicated to the accommodation of foot merchants. On that day, three regular merchants and a poor scholar who were on the road came to the store, but the inn was full......"

That night, under the pleading of the four people, Cai Laoweng pondered and thought about one, and led people to another hut.

I saw that behind the dim oil lamp in the house, a tent covered the bed board, and the bed board was covered with a black cloth for a person, who was Cai Laoweng's daughter-in-law who had just died.

A few steps further into the house, there is a couch in the room. The four of them were quite sleepy from running around, not caring that there were dead people in the house, and lay down on the bunk, and their snorts became thicker and thicker, and they fell into a deep sleep.

One of the scholars, surnamed Song, was not asleep in a hazy way, and suddenly heard the rattling sound on the spiritual bed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that under the oil lamp, the black cloth on the spiritual bed was slowly lifted, and a bruised palm stretched out.

Seeing the female corpse uncover the black cloth, she got out of bed and walked to the bunk, her face was still covered with a layer of white veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could only see the white hairs under her neck trembling, which seemed to be growing outward.

The female corpse came to the side of the shop, leaned down and blew on the merchant, then opened her mouth and bit her neck and gulped for blood, and the man who was blown seemed to have passed out completely, allowing his own flesh and blood to be slowly sucked up.

Song was terrified when he saw this scene, and kicked the people next to him hard, but saw that they didn't move.

Seeing that the female corpse blew on the second person again, Song couldn't bear it anymore, screamed, jumped out of bed, walked out barefoot, and ran away from the house.

This Song shouted while running, but no one appeared in the village, he was afraid that the female corpse would catch up, so he ran towards the county as hard as he could, and knocked on the door of the Taoist temple on the outskirts of the city.

A Taoist chief in the temple opened the door and asked him what was the matter, and Song told him about it, and the Taoist chief asked him to lead the way.

When he returned to the house, he saw the female corpse leaning over the neck of the third merchant.

And Song, who reported the news, was lying on the side and falling asleep.

Seeing himself lying on the bunk, Song was stunned, and the Taoist chief immediately slapped his palm and drank: "Don't go back quickly." ”

The world swirled for a while, and when Song woke up again, he had returned to the bed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the female corpse had been beheaded by the Taoist chief with a sword and fell beside him.

Listening to Genbo finish the story, a young man said curiously: "Then how did Song Shusheng become two people?"

Another young man on the side said: "I think this Song scholar was scared and lost his soul. The soul left the body, and then ran to the temple to find the Taoist. ”

"Genber, do you know what's going on?"

While several teenagers were discussing, a bald foreigner dressed in sackcloth and stepping on straw sandals came to the banyan tree at some point.

He sat down and looked at Genber with a smile, as if waiting for an answer.

Genbo said calmly: "Once the soul leaves the body, it is dead, how can I have the opportunity to seek help from the Taoist Temple? Only then did the Daozun appear to him, which allowed him to dream in the Taoist temple that night and ask for help from the Taoist chief in the temple. ”

Listening to what Genbo said, everyone realized that their curiosity had been satisfied, some people sighed that the scholars were lucky, and some people sighed that the Xuanyuan Daozun was really effective, and the Taoist masters were powerful.

The foreigner who had been listening quietly on the side suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle, you are wrong in this story. ”
