The Demon's Chosen. Ancient Spirit
The technique he had just used was called “Ancient Spirit." meant to aid those who had been revived from death. A person revived from death would be extremely weak, and using “Ancient Spirit” would seal all three souls and seven spirits within their body, reducing all bodily functions to a minimum, even breathing nearly ceased, appearing almost dead. But after a day and a night, removing the needles would restore them to health.Cold dew began to fall, and Perry lay face down on the ground, silent as a corpse.Suddenly, a group of people appeared, a few holding brightly lit torches. They dared not approach, only standing from a distance, throwing hooks to catch Perry's clothes and drag him away.It turned out that the coachman, driven by curiosity, had returned, saw Perry lying on the ground, thinking he had become a victim of this deadly and eerie place, but couldn’t bear to leave him, so he called a few people nearby to come.At that time, people were too afraid to approach the now
The Demon's Chosen. Ethereal Mountain Legend.
Ethereal Mountain in the town of Eternal Serenity, along with three other mountains - Celestial in the Radiant Retreat region, Enchanted on the outskirts of Seraphic Summit, and Cascade in the Cascade Bliss delta - together form the Four Great Sacred Mountains.Among these four mountains, Ethereal is the smallest.Though not the largest, it is famous for harboring many rare and exotic herbs, attracting many who dream of changing their fortunes. There is a rumor about a giant ginseng on the mountain, nearly the size of a six-year-old child, with roots extending several feet, radiating a purple hue, known as the Purple King Ginseng.This ginseng sometimes appears in human form, wandering around the mountain's base. Accidentally spotted, some daring souls chase after it, only to find it disappears deep within the mountain, with the pursuers never returning. The more faint-hearted merely watch and retell the story to others.The tale spreads like wildfire, eventually exaggerating to the p

The rental house, built with sturdy green bricks, had a garden overrun with untended vegetation and green moss covering the stone paths.At the far corner of the backyard stood a tall sandalwood tree, as high as a three-story building, its dense canopy forming a perfect circle. It was a common belief that plants with a heavy Yin energy always have canopies that form a spherical shape when viewed from any angle.The guest, following behind, asked: "What's your name?"The girl replied: "I'm Aurora.""That's a beautiful name.""And your name?""I am Dominic Anderson."By this time, the house had been tidied up, the atmosphere bright and clean. Aurora took the guest around, pointing to the bedroom: "The bed is all set, you just have to unfold it to sleep.""Thank you.""Do you want me to cook for you? The prices are very reasonable.""That would be great.""There's one more thing, don't ask why, but you must remember it."Dominic looked a bit surprised: "What is it?"Aurora pointed to a t

Dominic thought to himself: 'So she has only reached the level of a wandering spirit or a ghost, not yet a crying ghost capable of speech. The singing earlier must have been formed by the resentful thoughts at the time of her death.' Thinking this, he probed further: "Were you a famous singer when you were alive?”The girl nodded.He continued: "You haven't reached the level of a vengeful spirit, so you can't speak yet, but the fact that you can sing so loudly, echoing far, shows that your resentment at death was strong. Such strong resentment, yet still not enough to accumulate the power to reach the spirit level, means you must have died not too long ago."The girl nodded in agreement.He guessed: "Are you singing to call others here because you have an unfulfilled wish?"The girl didn't nod or shake her head this time but turned her face down towards the well. It looked like she was looking, but actually, only her bright red lips were directed towards the bottom of the well.Seein

As dusk fell, Aurora set the dinner on a stone table in the garden, close to the fence separating the two houses, and called Dominic to join her.As they ate, she began: "The slope you went to last night is called Dead Man’s Slope, because most who dare to cross it at night rarely return. Locals here are very superstitious about that area, so normally no one dares to go near it. Only in daylight do some venture there.”Dominic, surprised, asked: "Knowing it's dangerous there, why did you still go?""Because just a bit further into the forest's edge, there's a type of fruit shaped like a chicken, called the Dead Buffalo fruit. It has a sweet taste and a pleasant aroma, eating it makes one feel refreshed and vigorous. In the town market, people highly seek after it, and no matter how much is brought, it's never enough. Moreover, it seems that the danger only lurks at night, so some daredevils still venture through the slope into the forest during the day to pick the fruit and sell it at

The dancing figures were immediately flung about, some thrown onto trees, hanging precariously, others sent flying far, lying flat on the ground. The drumming stopped abruptly, and leaves scattered as if a strong wind had just swept through.Dominic sat down on the ground, panting. Looking at his sword, he scolded: "Grandma’s sword, be more careful next time.”The sword vibrated gently a few times and then stopped.Looking around, he saw dozens of chickens, each with vibrantly colored feathers. These chickens had just exhausted him with their dance. He casually grabbed the nearest one, intending to roast it, when the largest and longest-feathered chicken transformed into a human, the old man who had been drumming, now bent over and clasping his hands in a bow:“Great warrior, please spare my life.”Dominic glanced at the old man, speaking sternly: "You chickens lure and harm people with your dance, why should I spare you?”The old man, though disheveled, calmly replied: "There seems t

Dominic decided to approach the source of the light to investigate.As he got closer, he sensed the light moving upward from the ground. Weaving through some bushes, he discovered the light emanated from a young man. The man's body emitted a half-green, half-white glow. The reason Dominic saw the light moving upward was that the young man was climbing a tree, trying to pick a high-hanging Dead Buffalo fruit.Suddenly, the man's hand slipped, and he hastily grabbed onto a nearby branch. Seeing him awkwardly dangling from the tree, Dominic couldn't help but let out a laugh before calling out: "Hey, what are you doing up there?"Hearing the voice, the young man was startled and lost his grip, tumbling down to the ground. Dominic paled a bit, worried about the fall from such a height, fearing broken limbs, and hurried over to help the man up.Before he could reach him, the young man clumsily got up, seeing Dominic looking older than himself, and grumbled: "Big brother, you scared me to de

One year, the two oldest villagers passed away, and following this, two families were able to have children, each birthing one.The Anderson family had a boy.The Lee family had a girl.The children were born on the same day, which coincided with a strange occurrence in the village.That day, someone walking past the Tai Chi pond caught a glimpse of something in the corner of their eye. Initially unsure of what it was, they stopped to observe and realized something horrifying that had never happened before.The water in the pond was completely still, no longer moving.This slowly rotating stream of water had long been regarded by the villagers as a source of life, but now it had ceased to flow.That very night, a heavy rain suddenly poured down, the wind howled like a sweeping storm, and thunder roared deafeningly.

Perry had no choice but to pretend to walk towards Orville's workshop at the side, as it was already dark and the room was void of any candles or torches, pitch black. He gently pushed the door open, only to startle and freeze for a moment as a figure suddenly appeared behind the door, but in the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared.After waiting a moment for his eyes to adjust to the darkness, he saw more clearly. The room was filled with various items and several half-finished lanterns. Although it was cluttered, there were no hiding spots.The figure from before couldn't have hidden without causing a disturbance. This meant that the story Orville told might have some truth to it, and even better, it gave him a clear reason to talk.Perry returned to the old lady, pretending to be panicked: "Ma'am, you said you were here alone, are you sure?"The old lady also appeared surprised: "Of course, it's just me and my grandson here, there's no one else..." She paused mid-sentence, her

Dominic touched the young man's hand, feeling it still warm, and urgently said: "His body is still warm; he might have just stopped breathing.""To revive someone who's just stopped breathing, you need to perform rescue breathing. You do it." Aurora suggested."I..." Dominic looked down at the young man. Though his face was decent-looking and saving a life was critical, Dominic didn't know who he was, whether he had any contagious diseases, and moreover, the idea of performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on another man in front of two beautiful women meant he could never hold his head up again, feeling extremely troubled inside."What are you waiting for?" Leanne urged, unaware of his internal struggle.At a loss, Dominic suddenly remembered the egg from the Gem Flower. The old man had said it was a divine remedy, more precious than ten-year deer antler velvet, more nourishing than a hundred-year ginseng, and that keeping it for over twenty years could bring someone back from the bri

It's precisely because these coffins deteriorate so quickly that the custom of exhumation after three years came to be. During those three years, the bereaved families hustle to save enough money to afford a better coffin, waiting for the three-year period to end to transfer the deceased to a new "home." However, as the saying goes: "Three years of rain doesn't guarantee sunshine, nor does three years of sunshine guarantee rain." Sometimes, three years is too short a period to change one's fortune, and some families, despite saving, cannot afford a new coffin. So, when it's time for the exhumation, they resign to collecting the bones into a ceramic jar, settling their hearts while fulfilling familial piety.Yet, if by some misfortune the flesh has not fully decomposed at the time of exhumation, a new profession emerges: skinning and deboning the dead. It's uncertain how the living might feel about this, but if the dead could speak, perhaps they would say: why not let everything be, so

After a while, King Ginseng looked around at everyone and asked: "Why are so many of you here? Leanne, Sheldon, you're here too? And who are these two?"Aurora quickly summarized the events, and King Ginseng nodded: "The soup you made was delicious, and for the young lad, considering you helped me up, I'll tell you about that snake."Dominic beamed: "Thank you, King Ginseng.""Do you know the legend of the three-legged toad?"Dominic eagerly replied: "Yes, it's the spirit Lotus Shoes, originally it had four legs but because it caused trouble in the world, Ricardo cut off one leg to subdue it. Since then, it has only three legs and spits out money and treasures to help mankind, spreading wealth.""Do you know why it started to spit out treasures only after losing a leg?"Upon hearing this, everyone was at a loss; no one could answer.King Ginseng waited a moment and then continued: "The reason is that its four legs are respectively named Argy Wormwood, Golden Iron, Venom Stride, and Pr

At this moment, the girl had stood up fully, her body only covered by flowers and leaves, but upon closer inspection, these flora formed a sparkling long dress with patterns and motifs, exuding a certain charisma.The girl shook her head: "That's not right, there's no path leading up to Moon Lagoon's peak. The cliffs are treacherous, sheer. Even if you were an ibex, you couldn't climb up here. I've lived over thirty years and aside from King Ginseng, I've never seen anyone else make it up here."Ah, this flower is just over thirty years old, about the same age as me. I've been overthinking this.Seeing that this flower was sensible, capable of thinking ahead, and not foolish like that snake, he decided it was no use lying anymore, and that it would be pointless to continue. Thus, he confessed the truth that he, along with a girl who could use doll magic, rode an eagle up here, wanting to consult King Ginseng about the snake's third leg.The girl covered her mouth, giggling: "Hee hee,

Unexpectedly, one day, he took her to a mountain and accidentally encountered a demon from the underworld, which emerged from a crack between the underworld and the human world at the foot of the mountain. It tore me apart immediately and intended to devour my essence. She could only help me by absorbing my essence into the painting, wanting to protect me in there. However, the demon from the underworld had greater demonic power than those in the human world, it could enter the painting directly, wanting to pursue and eliminate completely. She begged it to spare me, and after a while, it agreed to keep me alive in here on the condition that she must absorb the essence and bodies of others into here for it, otherwise, it would kill both me and her. Since then, she had to follow its orders, absorbing people's essence to increase its demonic power, and then also absorbing bodies for the demon to devour alive. However, she also knew this was too cruel, so whenever she encountered daoist

Suddenly, the crowd halted as if held back by a strong opposing force. Amidst them was a four-year-old girl, expressionless, her face cold. She held up her hand in front of her, and that simple gesture alone was enough to keep the entire crowd motionless.Gregory, upon seeing the child, wiped a drop of blood from the boy's recent wound and flicked it towards the girl.The girl didn't dodge; she stood still, waiting. Unexpectedly, as the drop of blood neared her, it accelerated in both speed and force. A flash of surprise crossed the girl's eyes, but she couldn't avoid it in time. The blood hit her forehead, throwing her backward.With her control lost, the crowd continued to be drawn towards the Pure Yang Beacon, turning into ashes and hair. When there was no one left, Gregory took the boy's hand and walked away, flinging the Pure Yang Beacon back into the village. The flame, encountering the overflowing demonic energy, blazed fiercely.
