Revitalization of Spirituality: My Front Door Leads to a Miniature Universe

The sky outside was dark and gloomy, and the howling hurricane was like a vengeful ghost, swallowing up the last bit of life.

Holding the Chaos Star Tree, Gu Yuan stared intently at the gate, very vigilant.

The sound never came again, causing the former to let out a deep breath.

The eerie atmosphere made it impossible for him to sleep; he always felt like something was watching him.

Finally, he took out the Void Gate, intending to teleport outside to see what was at the entrance.

However, this also carries certain risks, as there might be more than one potential partner.

Protected by the Chaos Star Tree, a strange spatial gate appeared. After confirming the coordinates in his mind, he strode inside.

Outside the ancient building, a shimmering light emanated from beneath a large tree, and Gu Yuan emerged from within.

It was still very dark here, pitch black, and even though we were hundreds of meters away from the gate, we still couldn't see anything clearly.

After a moment's thought, Gu Yuan submerged half of his body into the void gate, ready to escape at any moment.

One hand took out the Chaos Star Tree and threw it towards the direction of the gate.

It has already pledged allegiance to its master and can be recalled at any time.

The former flew away at high speed like a ball of light, finally landing in front of the ancient building's gate, where the scene could be clearly seen.

A person, just one person.

It was a man lying there head down, his face obscured, wearing modern clothes; it wasn't anything strange.

Gu Yuan paused for a moment, but did not walk over immediately. Instead, she directed the Chaos Star Tree to turn the man over, revealing his face.

"Fatty!"

The former exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that the person lying at the door would be his good friend from college—Zhou Quan.

Because of his robust and burly physique, he earned the nickname "fat man".

Without further hesitation, Gu Yuan walked towards him, helped him up from the ground, and then woke him up.

"Gu Yuan..."

"How did you get here?"

The two exchanged a few words and learned that the fat man had come to Liuli City on a business trip, but unexpectedly encountered a sudden change. He was worried that Gu Yuan might get into trouble on her own, so he came to find him.

Unexpectedly, after banging on the door for a long time, no one responded, and in the end, he inexplicably fainted.

"Damn it, I don't know who hit Fatty on the head, it hurts so much."

The fat man stood up from the ground, rubbing the back of his head with one hand, baring his teeth and full of resentment.

Then, after looking around Gu Yuan and finding that he was alright, he gave him a big bear hug.

"Come on, let's go inside."

Gu Yuan took out the key and invited the fat man into the ancient building. The wind outside was strong and a bit chilly.

"What is this thing?"

The latter looked at the entirely azure Chaos Star Tree with curiosity.

"Table lamp".

Gu Yuan blurted it out.

"How unique!"

The fat man didn't think much of it; although the appearance was peculiar, it wasn't anything strange.

Some manufacturers like to produce strange and unusual things, and people actually buy them.

Gu Yuan didn't say anything, went in first and then closed the door, and the two went upstairs.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Gu Yuan stopped, looked at the fat man with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Did you bring a friend?"

No.

The former shrugged, his expression equally puzzled.

"Gu Yuan, open the door! It's me, Fatty!"

A familiar voice came from outside, and the knocking became even more intense.

Gu Yuan stared wide-eyed at the fat man in front of her, protecting the Chaos Star Tree in front of her.

The former was visibly stunned, his face full of bitterness. "Damn it, someone's impersonating me!" He immediately protested angrily, rolled up his sleeves, and headed outside. "It must be that bastard who beat me up. I'll go and deal with him!"

Gu Yuan stopped him, her eyes fixed on the former.

"You doubt that I'm a fake?"

The fat man asked a question.

"In these extraordinary times, answer me a secret that only the two of us know."

Gu Yuan shook her head, not because she didn't trust the fat man, but because she was afraid of being deceived.

Now that the strange phenomenon has resurfaced, there's a good chance an oddity might actually infiltrate the area.

"Ask away."

The fat man could understand; letting the other party ask questions freely made them feel emboldened.

What was the first Japanese phrase you learned?

"Yamete..."

The fat man blurted out, glancing smugly at the former and raising his eyebrows.

Gu Yuanshen let out a deep breath, confirming that this was indeed his good brother.

"Let's go out and teach that beast a lesson."

Gu Yuan and the fat man walked over together and vaguely saw a dark shadow hanging in mid-air. Its body was very blurry and could not be seen clearly because it was obscured by the mist.

"what!"

The fat man yelled; he was closest to the dark figure in mid-air, directly below it.

He slipped and fell to the ground, scrambling and crawling as if he had been through the most terrifying ordeal.

"My God, there's blood on your face!"

Gu Yuan quickly pulled him back, only to be shocked to find that the former had blood on his face.

"It wasn't mine, it was there, it dripped from him!"

The fat man's face was filled with terror as he pointed into the air.

Looking in the direction he was pointing, sure enough, a dark shadow was hanging in mid-air.

It looked like someone was hanging there, all dark, with bright red blood dripping from it.

"A vengeful ghost! A vengeful ghost is hanging in the air!"

The fat man shouted in terror, pulling Gu Yuan along as they ran into the house, feeling a chill creeping down his back.

Even Gu Yuan felt a chill after being disturbed like this. Despite his great courage, he felt a coldness creeping into his body when faced with this situation.

There was a pool of blood on the ground, and a dark figure was hanging in mid-air, swaying in the wind. It was a corpse, and blood was still flowing down its body.

However, nothing happened; it just hung there.

"Hurry up, let's have a Taoist priest exorcise the evil spirits tomorrow."

The fat man hid behind Gu Yuan, not daring to look at all. It was too terrifying; he was only a 288-month-old baby.

Gu Yuan didn't move, because there was no danger standing there, and thanks to the reminder from the Chaos Star Tree, there was only a corpse in front of him.

His courage grew slightly, and he began to examine the corpse, muttering to himself, "Why is he hanging in mid-air?"

The Chaos Star Tree in his hand shone brightly, illuminating the area like a lighthouse.

Seeing how brave he was, the fat man behind him also became bolder.

"Take him down; hanging him by the door is bad luck."

Gu Yuan took the initiative, and even though the fat man was very scared, he still closed his eyes and stepped forward to help.

The corpse hanging in mid-air had a thick head of hair that covered its face, revealing only half of its withered and shriveled left cheek, with empty eye sockets and no eyeballs.

The two looked down and froze instantly.

This mummified corpse was not a modern artifact; it was dressed in ancient clothing, resembling an ancient person, and its body was bound by vines as it dangled from the sky.

"How did vines get here?"

The fat man was suspicious. He looked around carefully, but he was very puzzled because there were no big trees nearby.

Even if there were, it shouldn't be falling from the sky.

Gu Yuan, gripping the vines, seemed to sense something, recalling the towering tree suspended in the sky. "Could this corpse have fallen from there?"

The thought sent chills down my spine; if that were true, it would be terrifying.

That towering ancient tree was so large that there must have been more than just one ancient corpse.

Gu Yuan brought the Chaos Star Tree closer to examine it carefully, and the fat man beside him also gathered around.

"He has something in his hand."

The fat man's eyesight was excellent; he made a discovery.

It was a short sword, entirely black, with some mottled marks etched by the passage of time.

It was made of some unknown material, yet it faintly exuded a chilling aura. The corpse held it in its hand, and it did not let go until its death.

"There's another sword?"

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised. He could vaguely see a sword hilt on the ancient corpse's chest, deeply embedded in its body. It was difficult to notice without careful observation.

It is there that bright red blood drips, and it has never dried up.

"Maybe it's an antique or something, let's pull it out and take a look."

The fat man glanced at Gu Yuan and made a suggestion.

The latter nodded without refusing, but instead of rushing to pull the sword from the ancient corpse's chest, they took the black short sword from its hand.

"It's so heavy!"

The fat man exclaimed in surprise, nearly dropping the black short sword. He had to use both hands to grip it, as it weighed at least twenty pounds.

It's hard to believe what kind of material this was forged from.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the ancient corpse had no objections and did not stop them, the two began to pull out the sword stuck in its chest.

It took a lot of effort to finally get my hands on it. It was quite heavy, and it turned out to be a broken piece of a sword, with a very old and rusty appearance.

"This is a genuine antique, we've struck it rich! If you don't say anything, we'll consider it a gift from you."

The fat man grinned from ear to ear as he played with the black short sword in his hand, his previous fear gone.

"it is good."

At that moment, a faint sound rang out, especially clear in the silent night sky.

The fat man felt a chill run down his spine, and his whole body went cold. He stammered, "Gu Yuan...did you just speak?"

"I don't."

The latter also looked bitter and was backing away.

Only after retreating into the house did they dare to look at the ancient corpse on the ground.

A strong wind blew, scattering his black hair and revealing a gaunt face, but... a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
