Crawling out of hell, the evil spirits hide among us…

Hu Ma was startled by the other party's strange words. Since waking up, he had been guarding this gloomy old woman, only thinking about how to avoid the evil spirits that were constantly watching him, and knew nothing about other things.

But suddenly, because of an unknown brother in a dream, he learned that he was actually an evil spirit, and was also a kind of evil spirit?

How could he be an evil spirit?

He was clearly just a college student living in a normal world, he…

…But thinking of this, he suddenly froze.

Yes, in his previous life, he clearly remembered that he was dead, killed in that explosion, and even vaguely remembered that he seemed to have drifted for many years, until he heard the strange incantation, and was attracted to this body.

The old woman originally wanted to recall her little grandson's soul, but accidentally summoned him.

So, in the old woman's eyes, what exactly was he?

A terrible fact gradually appeared before his eyes: "So..."

"I am an evil spirit?"

"..."

"..."

"My incense is about to burn out, and that thing is about to find me..."

At this moment, the voice of the person "connected" to the other end of the incense also seemed a little anxious: "Brother, it is the responsibility of the old folks to tell the newbies about the rules of survival, but I really can't take care of you now."

"I can only tell you that our situation is extremely bad now, whether it is an evil spirit or a person in this world, they can't wait to kill us."

"Remember, identity is the most important thing, don't let others know your identity."

"We had a companion who was only five years old in this world. Because she accidentally said a word, she was crushed into渣滓 (zhā zǐ, dregs) by her biological father in this world using a stone mill, crushed into oblivion."

"The people in this world will not hesitate to attack you because of family affection or anything, they will only think that you are an evil spirit who has taken over their child, and they will hate you even more..."

"..."

"You..."

Hu Ma had countless questions to ask in his heart, but he also noticed that the incense seemed to be fading and becoming chaotic.

"I don't have time to talk to you more, I can only tell you..."

The other party also said anxiously: "Tai Sui is the most important thing."

"I don't know what your situation is now, but you must try to get Tai Sui meat. This is the best thing. It can save me and help you. Qing Tai Sui (green Tai Sui) is the best, if not, Bai Tai Sui (white Tai Sui) is also okay. Of course, if you can find Xue Tai Sui (blood Tai Sui)..."

"...alas, that's almost impossible, unless those who have been reborn into noble families."

"In short, use all means to grab these things."

"..."

Listening to his panicked appearance, Hu Ma didn't dare to interrupt him anymore, but tried hard to distinguish his voice, which was already a little unclear, and firmly remembered: "Damn, that thing is coming in..."

"I'm going to use the Feng Ming Fa (Sealing Fate Technique) to seal myself. Brother, I can only last for two months at most. If you have the opportunity to meet other people, tell them to go to Fox Coffin Village...under the East Bridge..."

"There is...the Tomb of a Hundred Corpses here..."

"..."

"I remember..."

Listening to the voice that was already so weak that he could hardly hear it, Hu Ma also hurriedly said loudly.

He hoped that his answer could give the other party more confidence.

For some reason, he felt a strong worry in his heart for this person who he had never met and only talked to a few times.

The surroundings were silent, and all the sounds disappeared.

Hu Ma saw that his incense, or rather, his Xin Xiang (belief incense), which had been inserted into the incense burner, was no longer a straight strand, and had become scattered again, just like before the connection, as if being blown by an invisible wind, crooked and slanted in all directions, seeming to be searching.

"So, struggling in this world, it's not just me?"

"..."

He subconsciously took a few deep breaths.

And, he tried hard to gather the information that this person had left him.

Thinking about it carefully, he gradually felt terrified.

Keeping his identity a secret is the most important thing, otherwise he would end up worse than dead...

So, that old woman?

There was an uncertain feeling in his heart, and the old woman's gloomy gaze that occasionally looked at him flashed in his mind from time to time.

"Don't panic, at least the old woman hasn't discovered her identity yet, she just thinks that she was just rescued and forgot a lot of things!"

He felt a little nervous, so he had to comfort himself: "In addition, since there are more than just me with the same fate in this world, is it possible for me to find other people again and get some help from them?"

He looked down at the Xin Xiang (belief incense) in the furnace, which was still about one and a half fingers long.

But the smoke from the burning incense was not stable at all, it was just in a daze, scattered around.

Hu Ma suddenly realized: "That brother, seemed to have called out continuously for a long time before, but only got a response from me alone."

"This shows that there really is no one else around?"

"..."

After figuring this out, he didn't wait any longer, but pulled out the Xin Xiang (belief incense) from the furnace and put it aside.

Although it was only such a hasty conversation, he also realized that this was a valuable resource.

"Old Yin Mountain? Fox Coffin Village?"

He repeated the place name that the brother had just mentioned in his heart.

It sounded like he was in a very dangerous situation, but he seemed to have a way to protect himself, and could last for about a month, but his Xin Xiang (belief incense) had been burned out, which meant that he had no way to ask others for help during this time.

So perhaps the only one who had a chance to save him was himself?

Hu Ma was also a little moved for a while, but then he shook his head in annoyance.

Who could he save now?

He couldn't even get out of the village now, and didn't even dare to leave the old woman and Xiao Hongtang's side.

Even that Brother Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), only said to let him take someone over to save him if he had the opportunity to meet other companions. Since he had been calling for so long and had not found anyone, how could he possibly find him with his little ability?

His heart seemed to be covered with a shadow, and Hu Ma woke up quietly, only to feel a layer of cold sweat on his back.

A little bit of light came in through the small window above his head.

It was not yet dawn, but Hu Ma could already see some light pouring in from the simple wooden door of the side room.

The old woman seemed to have gotten up already, and was tidying up something.

Xiao Hongtang was gnawing on something with a crunching sound, and suddenly shouted: "Brother Hu Ma is awake..."

Then she continued to gnaw with a crunching sound.

"..."

Hu Ma originally wanted to pretend to be asleep again and calm down, but when he heard this, he could only slowly feel his way up.

He tried hard to pinch his cheeks, taking his performance in front of the old woman as the most important thing.

He slowly got out of bed, walked to the door, and when he pushed the door open, the oil lamp on the Eight Immortals table in the main room swayed gently. The old woman, who was sitting on a small stool tidying up things, also slowly turned her head and glanced at him.

Hu Ma had just put on a smile when the old woman suddenly said, "You didn't sleep well yesterday?"

"At night, when婆婆 (pó po, granny) covered you with the quilt, I saw that you seemed very nervous, and you said some nonsense that I couldn't understand."

"Ah?"

Hu Ma's hair stood on end, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Before he could ask anything, the old woman had already withdrawn her gaze and said, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Eating too much Tai Sui meat is like this. Although it can cure diseases, it will also have some effects. You'll have some strange dreams. There are even some who went crazy from eating it..."

"But only this kind of meat can cure you."

"..."

"Well, I understand."

Hu Ma was covered in cold sweat, so he had to agree vaguely. After a slight hesitation, he mustered up his courage and squatted down, helping her tidy up together.

Now that he realized the relationship between Tai Sui meat and Xin Xiang (belief incense), he was no longer so resistant.

On the contrary, he had just sorted out his thoughts and felt a little curious in his heart.

While pretending to be nonchalant, he put the腊肉 (là ròu, preserved meat), white sugar,旱烟 (hàn yān, dry tobacco),棉被 (mián bèi, cotton quilt) and other things that the old woman had placed next to him into the bundle. At the same time, he carefully considered his words and asked, "婆婆 (pó po, granny), you keep telling me to eat meat, saying that it can suppress evil spirits, but what exactly is this kind of meat?"

As soon as she heard his words, the old woman looked over with a faint gaze.

Xiao Hongtang, who was gnawing on chicken feet in the corner with a crunching sound, also suddenly turned to look at Hu Ma.

Hu Ma was very nervous, but secretly persuaded himself.

Now that he had just been resurrected and didn't remember anything, it was reasonable to ask such a question, wasn't it?

Eating this strange meat every day without asking a word would be strange.

After what seemed like a long time, but was probably just his over-sensitive imagination, he heard the old woman sigh softly and say, "Tai Sui Lord, is the one who suppresses all evil spirits."

"You were harmed too badly before, so I can only go to beg Tai Sui Lord every day and cut a little meat to nourish your body. It's not just you who eat it. In our village, the clan leader and the elders also eat Tai Sui meat to prolong their lives."

"However, what they eat is all Bai Tai Sui (white Tai Sui), and they don't dare to eat too much."

"The ones that are better than Bai Tai Sui (white Tai Sui) are called Qing Tai Sui (green Tai Sui), but these have all been taken away by people in the city."

"..."

Hu Ma's heart skipped a beat as he listened: "Then me?"

The old woman slowly got up and said, "You are seriously ill, ordinary ones won't do. What you eat is what 婆婆 (pó po, granny) specially begged for you."

"It's called Xue Tai Sui (blood Tai Sui)!"
