Chapter 1: Poison
This is a world that has nurtured the human race for thousands of years, and demons, monsters, immortals, and holy Buddhas have long become an existence that ordinary people can not reach.
After countless revolutions and wars, the human race reshuffled, Xuan Qi re-divided the text, measurements, skin color, science and technology, academics, etc., he smashed the ritual vessels on Guanshan on the day of the emperor, destroyed the sacrifices, strangled all the rebels, and the blood flowed like a waterfall! He was full of anger and used the immortal sword to engrave two words on the giant peak of Guanshan Mountain: Xuan Chu.
Since then, the human race has not distinguished each other, prosperous and prosperous, singing and dancing. Historians refer to this period as: the reign of the early Xuan.
This is the beginning of the story - the Occult Realm.

Leling Private School is the only private school in the Xuan Realm, corresponding to the only national education college in the Xuan Realm - Yunxing Palace.
No matter where life is, there are high and low, and Yunxing Palace is naturally not accessible to everyone. The enrollment of Yunxing Palace is all screened by Emperor Xuanqi himself, and only the special elderly can be enrolled.
If there are more people in the second year of enrollment than the previous one, the first one will be eliminated, and only the best will remain. There is only one entrance exam for each entry, and that is to beat the predecessors. Therefore, the disciples of Yunxing Palace are all geniuses, and they are the proud sons of heaven and the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven! The folk call these people "chosen people", which means that they will all work for the imperial court in the future and become the next pillars of the country. So no one will offend them easily.
Private schools are much more tolerant, can have three catties of red meat, two catties of liquor, willing scholars, can be enrolled. Even so, the private school is also under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but unlike the "top" of Yunxing Palace, it takes the route of "education".
Jiufang Xi is a talented man of Leling Private School, and is called a senior by his peers. The elder, first, refers to the order of hearing the Tao.

This year, just after the valley rain, the rain is still dripping.
"Ahem. β
Jiufang Xi covered his mouth and coughed, it was warm and cold at first, and he was most prone to cold. He wasn't in good health, and he read some books last night, and he caught a cold.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't imagine that you are still so withdrawn. β
Hearing the voice, Jiufang Xi raised his eyes and looked, but it was an acquaintance.
The jade crown is towering, the red beads are like fire, the sword eyebrows are starry, and the thin lips are smiling. He has a gold silk moire robe, a gold jade unicorn around his waist, and white silk soft brocade boots. The three people behind him were all well-dressed, but their eyes were playful and their mouths were constantly laughing.
"Is that you?" Jiufang Xi had met this person a few times, but each time it was just unhappy.
"Jiufang Xi, I came to see you today to give you a gift. Please, right?" Si Chengxiao pointed at Jiufang Xi's nose with his index finger, and his tone was a little arrogant.
"Gifts?" Jiufang Xi sneered, when did Si Chengxiao be so polite to people?
Everyone said that Si Chengxiao was the biggest tumor in Leling Private School, fighting and bullying were very common, and he had a good family, and no one dared to offend.
Although it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dares to be wronged, and it cannot be punished by law.
The three people behind Si Chengxiao were very neat, one restrained one and the other moved, and without waiting for Jiufang Xi to react, he knocked him unconscious.
When he woke up again, he was already in a small forest, and the forest was very high, and it should be not far from the private school.
And he was also tied to a tree by Si Chengxiao, and the four of them looked at him in unison, as if they were waiting for him to wake up.
"Jiufang Xi, I remember I told you to stay away from Shen Yanrong, why are you disobedient?" Si Chengxiao frowned and sneered. "My son hates disobedient people the most, you have to get some punishment, right?"
"Shen Yanrong!"
Shen Yanrong is as old as him, she is beautiful, and she is the most beautiful scenery in Leling Private School. Her family is also very good, her father Shen Zhengrong is one of the three princes of the Xuan world, Rong Guogong, and the eldest brother is also an important minister in the court, her identity is more noble than the ordinary county lord, and she is the highest unattainable woman in Leling. Because of this, she has been proud of no one since she was a child.
It's just that she is as arrogant as her, and the only one who is not as good as others is Jiufang Xi, and she always falls behind Jiufang Xi in the big exam every year. So to a certain extent, Shen Yanrong is always different from Jiufang Xi than outsiders. But this is different, in the eyes of those who have a heart, it has become a source of malice.
Shen Yanrong is so outstanding, there are naturally many suitors, and Si Chengxiao is one of them. It's a pity that Shen Yanrong doesn't like Si Chengxiao, but is extremely disgusted, and even said in public that Si Chengxiao is "tiger and wolf", which is very disdainful. So Si Chengxiao has found trouble with Jiufang Xi, and more than once. At the end of last month, Si Chengxiao threatened to break Jiufang Xi's leg and prevent him from getting close to Shen Yanrong again, which was what he said before.
It's just that Qi Yang, Jiufang Xi's only friend, has been in love with Shen Yanrong for a long time, and he naturally respects Shen Yanrong, but what Si Chengxiao said is completely absent.
"Ahem, I've never had any thoughts about Shen Yanrong, why do you embarrass me?"
"It's not right for you to make her treat you differently. Si Chengxiao chuckled, took out a glass syringe from his arms, touched the tip of the needle lightly with his fingers, and the red blood beads oozed out and were held in his mouth.
When Jiufang Xi saw it, his heart seemed to be grabbed, and he realized that this Si Chengxiao was probably really going to do it today.
Si Chengxiao continued to take out a thumb-sized transparent crystal bottle. The bottle contains a liquid like turquoise grass juice, swaying and dyed in a palpitating color by the dappled sunlight shining through the branches.
Looking at this liquid like poison, Jiufang Xi's heart tightened again, and his breathing became short. He struggled again and again, but the hemp rope on his body was as thick as a thumb, and it was difficult for him to break free with his naturally sick and weak body.
He watched as Si Chengxiao inserted the needle into the bottle, pulled out the piston with two fingers, and pulled out all the green liquid without leaking.
"Jiufang Xi, it's your fate, this thing cost me a lot of money, that's not a small amount!" Si Chengxiao walked towards Jiufang Xi step by step, and said with a smile.
"What are you going to do? What is this?" Jiufang Xi was very uneasy in his heart, the green liquid was extremely ghostly. It's like walking in a wasteland in the night, and a dark green fire suddenly appears in front of you, even if you don't know what it is, it can make people's hearts tightened, and it's hard to think about the good.
"What do you want to say...... Who knows? I don't know, I don't know, I don't have to worry about it!"
"Si Chengxiao, Le Ling is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to hurt people's lives, cough cough, the law of the country will not let you go!" Jiufang Xi's hand was strangled by the hemp rope, and the cold spring breeze was cut into several strands by the branches, which made him even more cold, and he couldn't help but cough again.
I don't know why, but he has a strong sense of rejection for the green liquid. That kind of uneasiness made him break out in a cold sweat, sticky in the wind, cold, and felt very bad.
"Don't worry, this thing won't be fatal, it will only make you more miserable. After all, I don't want your life, as long as I see you in pain, I'm happier. You have to remember that our company Chengxiao is a simple villain, don't mess with me. β
"You!"
"Shhh
In the struggle, Jiufang Xi gasped, and the coldness of metal came from his shoulder, followed by a stinging pain. He felt a cool liquid inject into his body, and then it was warmed by his body heat.
"Ahh
The shoulders began to swell, followed by a burning pain. Gradually, it began to enlarge to the neck, to the chest, to the abdomen...... up to the whole body. This process was extremely fast, and before Jiufang Xi could shout a word of pain, he was already trembling with pain, so he had to grit his teeth.
The pain was indescribable, but it was even more unbearable than a sword entering the body, as if it was a pain brewing from the bones, and the pain was so painful that he didn't even have the strength.
"I'm relieved to see you in such pain, don't worry, you will warm up once a day in such pain, maybe one day when you get used to this kind of pain, will it turn into enjoyment?" Si Chengxiao was very satisfied, and threw the syringe on the ground casually, and a drop of unfinished green liquid dripped on the grass with vibration, burning a piece of scorched earth.
"Mouse, this time the thing is done well, meritorious, deserve a reward! You go back and get some of this thing, the wicked people also want to be gentle, and it's not good to let literature beat people!"
"Xie Sishao's reward! When I turn around, I will look for the old man, and by the way, I will ask about the formula of this medicine!"
"Remember to keep things clean. Si Chengxiao admonished, then squinted at the people curled up on the ground, and smiled even more.
The sound of the outside world gradually blurred, and only pain was left in the world, as if falling into a volcano, and the scorching heat and pain tore apart Jiufang Xi's body and soul. It's as if the soul has been forcibly stripped of its body.
If I can faint from the pain, I'm afraid it will be a lot better. It's just that the pain is inexplicable, even if you are dizzy, you can be awake by the pain.
He didn't know how he broke free of the hemp rope, he just stumbled along.
Si Chengxiao and his accomplices have long since left, and after only enjoying the pain of Jiufang Xi, there is no nostalgia, in their opinion, this is not a big deal, just like the "miscellaneous" that did not have long eyes before.
Jiufang Xi tried to open his eyes wide, and beads of sweat flowed into his eyes, which were sour and uncomfortable, but it seemed to be able to relieve the pain in his body. Everything he saw was a dark blue, but the things in it were incomparably clear, as if blue ink had been splashed into his eyes.
A cloudy smell gradually appeared under his nose, and he couldn't tell what it was, but he felt that the smell was very angry, and the anger made him want to eat it......! Lamb stew?
He couldn't help but absorb the tempting taste, with a little commotion in the sweetness, the uncontrollable aroma, it was really like stewed mutton.
There was some inexplicable excitement in my heart, itchy, like a beggar who had been hungry for a long time facing a roast chicken and wanted to go up and take a bite.
This desire became more and more intense, and even made him forget the unbearable pain for a while.
He even had the illusion that if he took a bite, even if it was just a bite, he would no longer be in pain.
It's like when I was a child, in the New Year's pass, in the snow day in the house with the charcoal stove, waiting for my father to boil a cup of hot and delicious mutton, and drooling greedily. How can you bear it?
He got to the mass and clung to it, and he clung to it, alive? Who knows! The strong desire was so strong that he couldn't help it, and he bit down anyway.
"Evil beast!"
A sudden sound shook Jiufang Xi almost turned his back on his breath, the whole world was buzzing, and his brain seemed to explode.
