"A long time ago, there was a young girl in Shendu. Back then, she was still a prostitute in Wanlou..."
"This woman, by chance, met a poor scholar, got to know him, and fell in love with him. They agreed that he would redeem her after he passed the imperial examination, and that they would be together for the rest of their lives..."
"That year, he passed the imperial examination, but ended up marrying the daughter of a third-rank official..."
"When the scholar said he wanted to take the girl as his concubine, she agreed..."
"But the woman died less than a year after she got married..."
"Countless years later, a mysterious evil consciousness awakened her..."
Liu Jingshu's tone was faint, as if she was telling a story that had been buried for many years.
"Tell me, do all the unfaithful men in this world deserve to die?"
After listening to this, Lu Changsheng remained silent.
He knew that what the other party was telling was his own story.
After this woman died with resentment, she turned into a natural disaster and befell the world.
Lu Changsheng was also quite curious about this. Could it be that all natural disasters in the world were caused in this way?
Although this woman was a human long ago, her current state is no longer human.
Even the soul is a strange fusion, but it carries some human memories.
And he also found a hint of key information in the other party's words.
"You mean the capital of God?"
Lu Changsheng's eyes flickered.
He has always loved reading, especially ancient books.
I once came across this place name in a rare book.
As the capital of the Dayu Dynasty a thousand years ago, the name Shendu has also been passed down to later generations.
According to legend, the area of the Dayu Dynasty was several times that of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Yes, the gods are very prosperous."
Liu Jingshu's eyes were a little vague, as if she had returned to the past.
"What year is it tonight?"
"Year 641 of the Great Zhou calendar."
Lu Changsheng slowly uttered a few words.
"Did the Divine Emperor still lose that battle?"
Liu Jingshu sighed slightly.
"What's the meaning?"
Lu Changsheng quickly asked.
Liu Jingshu smiled softly: "I'm just guessing. The dynasty was still at its peak when I died, but the surrounding demonic forces should not be underestimated."
Lu Changsheng's face turned grim when he heard this.
Although based on just a few words, he could guess some possibilities.
The collapse of the Dayu Dynasty may be related to the legendary demon.
As for that battle, even if the human race did not win, they did not lose completely. Otherwise, the world would have long since turned into a hunting ground for demons, and all humans would have become blood prey.
Even the Great Zhou Dynasty would not appear.
The most likely scenario is that both sides will be defeated and will be licking their wounds, waiting for the next big battle to crush the other side.
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng felt a sense of urgency in his heart. He must quickly improve his strength to cope with the drastic changes that may occur in the future.
"A few years ago, a masked man asked me to join the Tianyao Sect. Have you heard of this organization, my husband?"
Liu Jingshu smiled brightly.
"I have heard that it is a force formed by a group of human traitors. Do you agree?"
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.
"No, I don't like people who hide their true identity."
Liu Jingshu's eyes were quite domineering.
"Since my husband doesn't like it, then I won't join."
Then she switched to a delicate voice, which gave Lu Changsheng goosebumps.
Lu Changsheng looked at the other party strangely. This female ghost really got into the state.
Is this an addiction to role-playing?
Then the two of them talked for a while.
When night falls, the bright moonlight spreads throughout the village, forming afterimages through the surrounding trees, as if surrounded by demonic shadows, which looks quite strange.
"My dear husband, I am going to rest now. If you are willing, I am willing to serve you..."
Liu Jingshu smiled sweetly and looked at Lu Changsheng with fiery eyes.
Lu Changsheng ignored the other party and walked straight outside.
This female ghost was obviously coveting his body, and he was the one she would never get.
Soon, Lu Changsheng came to the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and began to practice.
Although the outside temperature was very low, he still did not feel any discomfort.
When one reaches a certain level in martial arts practice, being immune to cold and heat has become the most basic means.
...
The next day, early morning.
Chen Qiushi opened his eyes early in the morning.
He stayed in the yard all night last night and had no contact with the bride.
He plans to observe for a few more days before making any decision.
According to the rules of natural disasters, they only need to have sex within fifteen days. Then the curse will naturally disappear and they can leave this place.
As for Lu Changsheng, he had long been forgotten by several people and was undoubtedly dead.
After the few people went out, they didn't plan to find anyone to rescue them, and just pretended that nothing had happened.
Not only that, the photo stones of several people are always turned on.
"Squeak…"
Just as Chen Qiushi was thinking, a woman in white walked out slowly, holding a robe in her hand.
The woman has a pretty face, bright eyes, a slender figure, and exudes an intellectual aura.
"My husband must be cold."
Qinghe walked over quickly and put her robe on Chen Qiushi's shoulders.
"No problem, thank you very much."
Chen Qiushi felt the warmth on his shoulder and was thinking in his heart.
Not only the other person's body temperature, heartbeat, but also his speech and behavior are exactly the same as those of an ordinary person.
In his opinion, there was a 90% chance that the other party was a human woman.
Only a few days left before we immediately start roommate verification.
He did this with the intention of letting Zhu Zhiquan and others explore the way first.
If they were all safe and sound, he would be able to take action immediately.
But Chen Qiushi's wishful thinking was completely wrong.
Zhu Zhiquan and others had the same idea.
Seeing that their teammates did not take action, they did not panic at all.
Time flies and five days have passed.
It was noon that day.
The sun is shining brightly.
Chen Qiushi sat on the stone bench in the yard, quietly watching Qinghe working in the vegetable field, and his heart became more and more certain.
He has been carefully investigating over the past few days, but there has been no abnormality reported from the other side.
..
In the vegetable garden.
Qinghe wiped the sweat from his head, put away the hoe, and strode towards Chen Qiushi.
"This vegetable patch has been reclaimed. We can grow vegetables together and raise children together in the future..."
Qinghe's eyes were full of longing.
When Chen Qiushi heard this, he felt a little touched.
He even thought of taking the other person out of here.
It would also be a good idea to take her as a concubine after getting out.
...
In Zhu Zhiquan's yard.
Three figures sat on the stone benches, their faces looking quite anxious.
It was Zhu Zhiquan, Zhao Qinhong and others.
"If this continues, the date will be here soon. We're all thinking about letting the other party test it first, but that's not a solution..."
Zhu Zhiquan couldn't help but complain.
Zhao Qinhong, who was standing aside, sneered in his heart.
"If you are magnanimous, why not try it yourself first."
The three of them discussed for a long time but still couldn't come up with a plan.
"In that case, let's verify everything on the last day."
Zhao Qinhong spoke lightly.
If they want to escape from this place, they must break the curse.
"I've also seen the bride you two chose. The probability of her being normal is very high."
Zhu Zhiquan smiled and comforted him.
The three men selected women and looked at each other, and there was nothing unusual.
This also made several people let down their guard a little.
On this side, Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry. Instead, he strolled around the village every day.
And always pay attention to the energy changes in the panel.
After just a few days, he had a lot of clues.
He found that as he walked westward from the village, the energy indicator value on the panel became larger and larger.
Something crucial must be there.
But he was not in a hurry and planned to wait for Chen Qiushi and others to verify it first.
...
Time passes.
Soon it was the last day.
That day, late at night.
The moon set and the whole village was in darkness. Not even a sound could be heard from the surroundings. It was extremely strange.
Inside a thatched hut.
Chen Qiushi and Qinghe lay quietly on the wooden bed, sensing each other's heartbeats.
A charming atmosphere gradually rose in the air.
After spending these days together, Chen Qiushi gradually developed some feelings for the other party.
In addition, the other party has not shown any abnormality in recent days, which makes him feel relieved.
Tonight, he was ready to take action.
Chen Qiushi reached out to Qinghe's waist, fiddled with it quickly twice, and pulled out a pink cloth.
"Husband~"
Qinghe's face flushed slightly, and she uttered two long notes gently, her voice somewhat charming.
Chen Qiushi felt his heart warm and rushed over quickly.
After a while, he took the last step.
When he made complete contact with the other person, he felt delighted.
"It's a human."
Then, there was a loud noise in the house.
Until more than half an hour later.
"Does my husband love me?"
A strange look appeared in the corner of Qinghe's eyes.
"Love, love very much..."
Chen Qiushi was in high spirits and didn't care about so many things.
His head was resting on the other person's shoulder, and he couldn't even see the other person's face.
At this moment, something strange happened.
Chen Qiushi suddenly felt that he could not move, and a pair of claws as hard as iron stabbed him from behind.
A sharp pain swept through my body.
"Who are you..."
His eyes were wide open, his face was filled with horror, and he couldn't believe it.
He struggled with his hands, but it was useless.
Chen Qiushi's entire body was firmly fixed. A pair of pitch-black claws penetrated his chest from his back, dug out his heart, and shed blood in mid-air. The scene was extremely terrifying.
"Since my husband loves me so much, I will be one with you forever..."
Qinghe smiled strangely, swallowed the bloody heart in one gulp, and then melted Chen Qiushi's entire body into her own body.
Soon, Chen Qiushi disappeared completely.
Only a pile of tattered clothes was left scattered on the bedside.
The same scene happened in the house of Zhu Zhiquan and others.
After a few screams, the three were swallowed up by the evil bride.
At this point, Lu Changsheng was the only one left in the five-person team.
Just then, Liu Jingshu walked out gracefully.
"Husband, your teammates have all been sacrificed. Aren't you going to warn them?"
"It doesn't matter. It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words."
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and didn't care.
He and those people didn't get along well, and they wouldn't listen to him.
"Humans are truly strange. Their internal strife never ceases..."
Liu Jingshu smiled.
"From now on, my husband, are you ready to stay here with me forever?"
"It's a shame to waste all this energy. It's better to fulfill my wish..."
"Get lost."
A cold light flashed in Lu Changsheng's eyes.
He ignored the other party and instead stood up and walked towards the house where Chen Qiushi and the others lived.
"My husband is so cold and heartless..."
Even as Lu Changsheng gradually walked away, he could still hear the other person's muttering.
He strongly suspected that there was something wrong with the other party's brain. Hundreds of years of solitary confinement, coupled with constant resentment, it would be hard for him not to have problems.
Soon, Lu Changsheng walked onto the street.
Now he plans to retrieve the photo stones of several people and then make plans.
