Chapter 1: Only when you wake up from the dream do you realize that you are a guest

It’s July…

The sun was scorching in the sky, maybe because the cicadas on the trees knew how hot it was, the eardrums on my belly kept trembling, and the cicadas chirped in the forest one after another, adding a bit more heat to the already hot July.

Suddenly, birds and beasts flew away in fright, and the sound of wooden axles squeaking as they rubbed against each other could be heard in the path below...

"It's hot and smelly, this weather is really terrible."

"We're going to the mass graves, please bear with it a little longer."

"You said it's not good for these people to die. They have to die in an official way. The good thing is that we brothers didn't even look at it, and we had to collect their bodies. It's really unlucky."

"The world is not peaceful and we are all miserable people."

On the forest path, two small officials, one fat and one thin, wearing soap scarves on their heads, short jackets, and carrying simple swords at their waists, chatted without saying a word.

Beside them was an old donkey, and a two-wheeled flat cart dragged behind the old donkey. There were several still-warm corpses lying on the flat cart.

Not long ago…

Someone went to the government office in Hongyang County to report that there was a strongman robbing someone on the official road outside the county.

When the office staff arrives to count...

The strongmen of Jie Dao had already left, leaving only two broken carriages and several looted corpses.

According to investigation, the deceased was a foreigner family who went to Beijing to seek refuge with relatives. The owner was named Xu Boqing, and the rest were his family members and servants...

The world today is too chaotic, and countless people have died at the hands of strong men. Human life is the most worthless thing.

Moreover, those thieves are either from a certain mountain top, or they are committing crimes on the move and cannot be traced at all.

The person in charge of the case waved his hand to stamp a seal, sent two servants to transport the body to the mass grave, and then uncovered it...

The fat little official was holding a cattail leaf fan, and even though he was fanning it as he walked, he was still sweating profusely from the heat.

Seeing that there were mass graves in front of him, he seemed to have thought of something. He pulled off the towel from his head and said, "Old Liu, have you heard about what happened to Old Man Li's family in the south of the city some time ago?"

"Old man Li who sells sesame cakes in the south of the city?"

"right…"

The thin official named Lao Liu frowned in surprise and asked, "Isn't he dead a long time ago? What's the matter?"

"It's dead."

Some fat little officials fanned the Cattail Fans in their hands and explained: "The old man Li has no children. When he died, it was his nephew who collected the body. However, his nephew was not a good person. In order to save trouble, he just threw the body away.

Graves are littered.

Later, I heard that Old Man Li’s nephew met a ghost and walked around in a mass grave for three days with his head covered. When he went out, he was so thin that he became skinny and bones. When he came home, he went crazy. The neighbors all said that there was something wrong with this mass grave.

Something clean.”

"..."

The two petty officials, fat and thin, looked at each other and could see each other's fear.

The theory of ghosts and gods has always aroused people's fears, especially now that they were still in the area of ​​mass graves. A breeze blew by, making even the scorching heat of July feel a bit cooler.

The thin official named Lao Liu had his Adam's apple rolling up and down, swallowed dryly, shook the simple knife hanging on his waist and said: "People are three points afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven points afraid of people. Besides, in this clear sky and white sun,

Which ghost dares to come out?"

"Too."

The fat little official nodded in agreement, and then glanced at the corpses pulled on the flat car, and then at the mass graves in front of him. For some reason, he always felt a little cold behind him.

"Old Liu, why don't we just leave it here?"

"Okay, let's help them collect the bodies. That's enough kindness."

After calling the old donkey pulling the cart to a stop, two figures, one fat and one thin, jumped onto the flat cart, carried the body and threw it into the mass grave.

As they threw it into their mouths, they muttered words such as, 'Every injustice has its own owner, and every debt has its owner', 'The world is too chaotic and there is nothing we can do about it', 'Don't come to this world to suffer in the next life' and so on.

In the blink of an eye, the last body of a pale-faced young man was left on the flat car. There were no wounds on the body. The autopsy conducted by the government officials said that he was too frightened and died of fright.

"This young man has a good skin. It's a pity."

Old Liu muttered, wiped the sweat from his head, and then he and the fat official threw the body out with one of them lifting his feet and the other lifting his arms...

'who I am!?'

'where am I!?'

'Why can't I move!?'

Xu Boqing came back to his senses while half asleep, only to find that his body seemed to be pressed down on the bed by a ghost. Although his consciousness was still awake, his body could not move even half a minute...

Not only that, but there is also a fishy smell that irritates the nasal cavity and makes people feel nauseous.

'Maybe I'm still dreaming?'

Although his body could not move and his consciousness was hazy, he could clearly feel that his body seemed to be flying in the sky...

The momentary feeling of weightlessness seemed to allow his body to regain some consciousness...

But before he could be happy, he felt his body hit the ground heavily, making him dizzy and dizzy. His internal organs seemed to have moved out of place, and he uttered a sentence like a conditioned reflex: "Fuck...fuck..."

"..."

The two clerks, one fat and the other thin, had finished their work and had just turned the old donkey around to go back, but they stopped for a moment. The two looked at each other subconsciously, as if a dark wind was blowing...

"Old Liu, did you hear the sound?"

"It seems...a bit..."

Thinking of the rumors about mass graves, the two of them couldn't help but swallowed dryly, but they couldn't help but be curious...

After the two of them looked at each other, they glanced back at the same time. They happened to see that one of the corpses just thrown was twitching and convulsing...

Fake corpse!!

Dirty stuff!!

The stories about Zhiyi that they had heard before, and the rumors among the people, all came to mind at this moment. It was obviously a hot summer day in July, but a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs.

"Ah~~~"

Xu Boqing, who was lucky enough not to be thrown to death, also took his breath away and groaned, breathing heavily with a 'hehe' in his mouth.

But when this sound fell into the ears of the fat and thin official, it was nothing less than the most terrifying demonic sound in the world.

"Ghost!!!!"

The two of them wailed, and ignored the old donkey, rolling and crawling towards the outside of the mass grave. At this moment, they just wished that their parents had not given them two more legs.

The sound caused all the surrounding birds and beasts to fly away.

"Qua~~gua~~"

After a while, a group of carrion crows with dark feathers landed on the branches again, staring down with slightly red eyes and making an unpleasant cry in their mouths.

And Xu Boqing also turned over with all his strength, stretched out his hands to cover the sun, opened his eyes, and could vaguely see the dazzling sunlight and the wash-like blue sky between his fingers.

He wanted to lie down and rest while recalling what happened, but he was surprised to find that his fingers were slender, his joints were clear, and his cuffs were still wide!!

Something is wrong!!

He sat up from the ground in a fit of excitement, and then saw that he was wearing a retro gown stained with blood and mud. He then touched his face and turned his hands to look at it.

This hand is wrong...

In other words, something is wrong with me!!

I'm not me!?

Have you traveled through time?

Xu Boqing shuddered, and for a moment he couldn't figure out how he traveled through time. He was before...no...it should be said that he was his previous self now.

In my previous life, I didn’t have any other hobbies. I just liked to play games when I was bored. If my memory is correct, I bought a game about cultivating immortals for fun before time travel, but what I received was pirated butter from a small workshop...

The dungeons in the game such as [Pansi Cave], [Daughter's Kingdom], and [Hehuan Sect] are simply unsightly, and the rewards after passing the level are also various.

For example, the ‘Tianmu Dharma Eye’ rewarded in the [Daughter Kingdom] dungeon has the effect of ‘clairvoyance’, and its effect is wonderful;

[Hehuan Sect] The "Skill of Wheel-turning" rewarded in the dungeon not only allows the character to turn the wheel in the literal sense, but also complements the yin and yang when the character is "fighting monsters in the dungeon";

[Pansi Cave] The 'Pure Yang Body' rewarded in the dungeon has special effects such as 'infinite energy', 'body like a furnace, warding off all evils', etc...

In order to crack down on piracy and the behavior of small and unscrupulous workshops, he tried to play the game for a few days with the purpose of criticizing...

I never thought that the content of the game was too corrupt. When I played it, I didn’t criticize (stop) or judge (not) whether it would finish (finish).

After a few days, I cleared three dungeons, and when I was preparing for the [Yaochi Holy Land] dungeon with several active/passive skills, my body couldn't bear it anymore and I fell asleep.

'So, I died suddenly while playing a game and then traveled through time?'

After Xu Bo figured out the reason, his heart froze, as if he thought of something, and his pupils shrank slightly.

broken…
