"Do you want to truly live?"
"Do you want to... understand the meaning of life?"
Dong Gaohan felt that these words contained an infinitely strange demonic nature, as if there were thousands of tiny worms sticking to his skin, drilling into his head, penetrating into his brain, and stirring happily.
He had no time to think or respond before he fell into a merciful coma.
******
The next morning.
"call!"
Dong Gaohan woke up suddenly, his face pale, and sat up directly from the bed.
He looked around and found himself sitting in a familiar room.
Whether it was the crawling creatures or the strange shadows, they were all gone.
"Is it... just a dream?"
Dong Gaohan felt a strong sense of relief in his heart: "Fortunately it was just a dream."
"Master! You're awake!"
At this time, Xiao Cui walked in from outside, holding a basin of warm water in front of her, complaining.
"Master, what happened to you last night? Why did you fall asleep right in the courtyard? If you catch a cold, your wife will be worried."
"Also, Master, you are very heavy. I can hardly carry you by myself."
Xiao Cui kept talking, completely unaware that Dong Gaohan's face was becoming increasingly uglier, and cold sweat was slowly oozing out of his forehead.
"Not a dream? Not a dream!?"
"how come……"
Xiao Cui brought the basin to him and said crisply, "Master, stop being in a daze and wash your face."
Dong Gaohan looked down, his eyes gradually widened, revealing a look of extreme fear.
I saw a terrifying face reflected in the calm and clear water.
Countless maggots crawled all over the face, moving freely through the facial features and skin. The rotten scars emitted a foul stench, and misty shadows continued to overflow.
Looking at this face, Dong Gaohan was so frightened that he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Xiao Cui!"
"Master, what's wrong?"
Dong Gaohan looked at the maid beside him in horror, only to find several maggots approaching him. Their color was brighter, but more disgusting.
And they come from Xiao Cui who is beside me.
In his eyes, the maid's face also looked horrifying!
Seeing the living maggots getting closer and closer, Dong Gaohan screamed, "No! Don't come over here!"
Then, he fell into coma again.
******
Three days passed in a flash.
Weird rumors spread in the Dong family.
It was said that a young master of the Dong family was possessed by an evil spirit. He called everyone he saw a monster and was in a daze and confused, as if he was suffering from hysteria.
The Dong family's master was so eager to protect his son that he called in Taoist priests and witches to come and cure his son's strange disease, but they were unable to do so.
Looking at his son huddled in the corner of the room, looking terrified and uneasy, Dong Shan frowned and sighed deeply.
Another steward of the Dong family consoled him, "Don't worry, Master. I have asked someone to invite Master Qing from the Xuanling Martial Arts School. He will definitely be able to cure the young master this time."
The Xuanling Martial Arts School is a martial arts school in Baoqi County and nearby counties. It is said to have been founded by a fourth-level martial artist with a profound master background, and even the county officials have to give him some face.
The reason why the manager went to find Master Qing was that he wanted to use the energy and blood of this third-level warrior to flush out the evil spirit, and maybe he could cure Dong Gaohan's hysteria.
"Alas, this rebellious son, there is no peace of mind for him!"
When Dong Shan thought about the money he would have to spend to hire a warrior of the third realm, he felt a pang of pain in his heart and secretly decided to deduct Dong Gaohan's pocket money for the next few months.
He thought of something else and asked the steward, "Did you get Dong Wu done?"
Dong Wu was the manager who was sent to Nanlin Village. He was the fifth among the managers and was given this random name.
Dong San replied: "He hasn't come back yet."
Dong Shan frowned slightly: "It's been almost three days, right? He hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he's addicted to making money?"
A manager like the Dong family could often receive a lot of benefits by visiting the villages below.
Dong San broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that the master had noticed something he had done before, but after thinking about it, he said in surprise.
"That shouldn't be the case. Nanlin Village is full of poor people, and they can't even make a few drops of oil or water. Why would Dong Wu be gone for so long?"
"I don't care what he does, but if he ruins my business, you know the consequences."
Dong Shan's face was gloomy. "You must send someone to Nanlin Village tomorrow to take over the old house of the siblings."
Dong San felt a chill in his heart and nodded quickly.
He was actually very curious as to why the master was so obsessed with an old house in the village. He had sent someone there once before, and now he was taking advantage of Wang Dazhu's death to stir up trouble.
However, as a servant of the Dong family, Dong San did not have the courage to ask.
Just then, a servant came in from outside and said to Dong Shan, "Master Qing is here."
"That is... there is another person beside him."
"Ok?"
Dong Shan was surprised in his heart, but he said on the surface: "Please invite them in quickly."
******
Not long after.
A warrior with a fair complexion and handsome appearance walked into the Dong family's house. He was wearing a white training suit and had a smile on his face. He had a free and easy temperament, which made people subconsciously like him.
This man's name is Qing Zhengyang, and he is one of the only two third-level warriors in Xuanling Martial Arts School in Baoqi County.
Facing Qing Zhengyang, Dong Shan was humble and said with a bow, "Master Qing, you are finally here."
He glanced at the side again and asked curiously, "Who is this person?"
Next to Qing Zhengyang stood an extremely strange person, who was covered in a black robe. His face could not be seen clearly, and he exuded a faint ominous aura.
Qing Zhengyang smiled and said, "This is a good friend I just made. He heard that the young master of the Dong family was in trouble, so we happened to be going the same way."
There wasn't a single word of truth in what he said.
In fact, Qing Zhengyang had just met this man in black robe.
It was only because the other party showed the Qi and blood of the third realm and gave him a hundred taels of silver that Qing Zhengyang brought him to the Dong family.
In Qing Zhengyang's opinion, this hundred taels of silver was a bargain.
If I could cure Dong Gaohan's illness, I would naturally be able to earn a lot of extra money.
If it can't be cured, there's no harm in letting this man in black robe try.
As a warrior of the same level, you have to give him some face.
Seeing that Qing Zhengyang did not continue to explain, Dong Shan did not ask any more questions and respectfully invited him in.
Although Dong Shan did not show it very obviously, compared with his attitude towards Qing Zhengyang, he could not help but be a little disrespectful to the man in black robe.
After all, in Dong Shan's opinion, the black-robed man was definitely not as strong as Qing Zhengyang, and his origin was unknown and his behavior was suspicious. The fact that he could force a smile showed Dong Shan's extraordinary accomplishment.
Anle didn't care about it at all, but thought to himself: "The fun has just begun!"
As a martial artist, Qing Zhengyang did not waste any time. After negotiating the price, he immediately walked into Dong Gaohan's house.
"Don't, don't come over..."
In Dong Gaohan's sight, another monster with sticky pus all over its body and a changing face walked in, with tangible malice in its eyes.
After a few days of fermentation, Dong Gaohan's hallucinations not only did not ease at all, but became even more terrifying.
Those maggots were no longer just on his face, but had appeared all over his body.
Whenever Dong Gaohan closed his eyes, it felt as if thousands of bugs were crawling into his body, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.
But with my eyes open, the scene around me became more and more bizarre.
His mental state had been devastated to the point of near madness during these three days.
Qing Zhengyang frowned slightly and said, "Don't be afraid, Master Dong. I am Qing Zhengyang from Xuanling Martial Arts School. I came here specially to treat your illness."
When these words fell into Dong Gaohan's ears, they turned into chaotic and disordered mumbling, like the roar of an unknown monster.
Seeing the monster approaching, Dong Gaohan was so scared that tears came out and he shouted for help.
"Dad, save me!"
Seeing this scene, Qing Zhengyang shook his head gently: "It is true that evil spirits have entered his brain. I don't know what kind of evil spirits he has provoked."
From what he had seen and heard, he had only heard of evil spirits having such abilities.
However, although the evil spirits are strange and unpredictable, they have a fatal weakness, which is that they are afraid of the blood and qi of warriors.
Evil spirits are yin, while Qi and blood are the most rigid and yang.
It is said that if a powerful warrior mobilizes his qi and blood with all his strength, he can instantly evaporate the hundreds of ghosts wandering at night and make all the evil spirits retreat.
"It seems that I have secured the eight hundred taels of silver."
Thinking of this, Qing Zhengyang no longer hesitated. He groaned, and his heart beat like a drum, speeding up.
The Qi and blood circulate according to the mind, first making the skin turn red, like a cooked shrimp, and then gradually overflowing from the body surface to form a burning battle suit.
Just standing next to him was like standing next to a fire.
Even Dong Shan and others outside the room could sense the movement.
"Master Qing is indeed a warrior at the third level. His Qi and blood are so vigorous and abundant!"
Dong Shan's eyes flashed with envy. He also practiced martial arts when he was young, but his talent was limited and he could not make any progress after the second level.
As we age, our Qi and blood gradually weaken.
Dong San nodded and said, "With Master Qing's help, it will definitely be foolproof."
He glanced at the man in black robes secretly and sneered in his heart: "I don't know what this person is here for?"
"I'm afraid they are just like those witches and sorcerers, trying to cheat the master out of his money."
But at this moment, a shrill scream was heard in the room.
Chapter 196 Mr. Dong, you don’t want to…
"Ugh!"
Hearing the screams coming from inside the house, Dong Shan's face changed slightly and his heart tightened. He thought that Qing Zhengyang had hurt his son in the process of exorcising the evil spirit, so he quickly pushed the door open and went in.
The burning energy and blood rushed towards me, and the room was as hot as a furnace.
Dong Shan had just taken two steps inside when a few beads of sweat appeared on his face. However, he had no time to take care of such a small matter and asked hurriedly.
"Master Qing, what happened?"
Soon, Dong Shan opened his eyes wide in surprise.
The one who screamed was none other than Qing Zhengyang, whom he had high hopes for.
Qing Zhengyang's blood was surging all over his body, and his battle suit covered his body, showing a strong aura that would make anyone who saw him secretly frightened.
However, his expression was one of extreme fear, his face was pale, his lips were blue, his hands were trembling slightly, and he kept talking.
"Demon...there is a demon!"
"No! Don't come here!"
Just now, this small, enclosed house seemed to have lost all light and turned into a cage, with an astonishing number of dark creatures crawling in the shadows.
When Qing Zhengyang came to his senses again, the scene before him had completely changed!
