Gu Cheng was writhing and rolling on the bed, like a fish out of water, struggling desperately to breathe. Memories kept flooding in his mind, making his eyesight black and unable to see anything clearly.
The last scene that Gu Cheng remembered was that he had just completed a big deal, and the bonus could buy a half-square-meter house locally, so he was wandering on the street, preparing to find a restaurant to have a good meal to celebrate, but he was accompanied by a harsh sound.
The sound of brakes and the screams of the crowd made his vision go dark.
But why does his heart hurt so much after he was hit by a car? Is he alive or dead? He could feel the pain, and Gu Cheng felt that he could still save his life.
When he reluctantly opened his eyes, the scene before him almost made him collapse.
I saw a small person the size of a human head lying on his chest biting through the flesh.
To be precise, that thing is not a villain, it is simply a monster!
Its body is only the size of a palm, but its head is as big as a normal person, but it looks like a bloody heart. You can vaguely see two dark eyes the size of mung beans and a big mouth full of sharp teeth.
It bit into Gu Cheng's chest. There was no trace of blood on the flesh, but every bite caused Gu Cheng's heart to feel intense pain, as if it could swallow his heart through the flesh.
"Fuck fuck fuck!"
Gu Cheng cursed angrily, and instinctively wanted to pull the monster off his chest, but it seemed to be stuck to Gu Cheng's body, and no matter how hard he pulled, punched and kicked, he couldn't pull it off.
The severe pain in his chest made Gu Cheng almost faint, and his mind went crazy. He actually opened his mouth and bit the monster.
When Gu Cheng took a bite, the bloody and sticky feeling suddenly erupted in his mouth. Before he could vomit, a jet of black light burst out from his chest, swallowing the monster.
Gu Cheng struggled to get up, breathing heavily.
The pain in his chest had disappeared, but his head began to throb with pain. When the pain disappeared, Gu Cheng suddenly raised his head and looked around.
The place where he is now seems to be an ancient bedroom, a wooden attic, and antique carvings.
Staggering up, Gu Cheng looked at the bronze mirror on the table, and the appearance of a delicate young man came into view, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Gu Cheng's brain circuit was a little strange. His first reaction at this time was that he was paler than in his previous life.
The memories flooding into his mind have told Gu Cheng that he has traveled through time, not to ancient times, but to a dynasty named Daqian.
In this life, he is also called Gu Cheng, with the courtesy name Chang'an, and his identity is the eldest son of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion in Daqian. He sounds like a nobleman, but in fact he is a declining nobleman.
Five hundred years ago, ten kingdoms were competing for hegemony, and wars broke out. Emperor Taizu of Daqian, with the help of capable people and strangers from all sides, swept across Liuhe, annexed all directions, and finally established Daqian to unify the world.
At that time, there were many capable people and outstanding talents. Gu Cheng's ancestor was one of these people. However, he did not become a prince based on his military exploits, but on his loyalty.
The ancestor of the Gu family was one of the bodyguards of Emperor Taizu. In order to protect the prince, he was hit by sixteen arrows and refused to retreat even after they were shot into a sieve. Emperor Taizu was so moved by his loyalty and bravery that he named his descendants the Marquis of Zhongyong.
Hereditary and replacement.
However, relying on loyalty to become a marquis always lacked some foundation. By Gu Cheng's generation, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion had completely declined.
His father was said to be young and promising, but he died young in battle. His mother also fell into depression and died of illness not long after.
So now the largest official in the entire Zhongyong Hou Mansion is his second uncle, who serves as a general in Western Xinjiang.
In Daqian Capital, a place where just throwing a brick can hit a nobleman, with an empty title, the biggest official in the family is a general in a remote frontier, it can be said that he has fallen into decline.
Of course, these are not important. What is important is, what was that thing just now? Is it a ghost or a demon?
Gu Cheng subconsciously touched his chest, and there was a black jade pendant there, which made him stunned.
This is something from his previous life.
Gu Cheng bought this jade pendant when he was wandering in the ghost market. The boss offered a price of 800, saying it was from the Zhou Dynasty. Gu Cheng immediately said, "Return to the Zhou Dynasty? It's almost the same as last week's."
So after some bargaining, the deal was settled for eighty yuan.
This thing was completely dark, with some strange patterns engraved on it, and two seal characters. Gu Cheng checked it, and it seemed to be the word "Tongyou".
When I bit that damn thing just now, a black light swallowed it up. Is this what it was made of?
Gu Cheng subconsciously touched the black jade pendant with his hand, but the next moment a black light flashed before his eyes, and Gu Cheng appeared in a dark space.
There are no buildings in this space, the sky and the earth are pitch black, there is only one thing, and that is the monster with a heart and a head just now!
When the monster saw Gu Cheng, it jumped and ran towards Gu Cheng, and its movements were a bit ugly.
Gu Cheng ran away when he saw it, but this space seemed to be centered around him. No matter how much he ran, he would always stay in place.
The monster jumped on him in a few clicks. Just when Gu Cheng was thinking about whether to bite it again, the monster just rubbed Gu Cheng with its big heart, acting as docile as a pet.
Seeing that the monster was no longer hostile, Gu Cheng took it aside and frowned: "What is this?"
Gu Cheng didn't expect the monster to speak, he was just talking to himself.
But the monster seemed to understand. It shook its big heart-shaped head and sprayed out a blood mist from its blood vessels, which turned into an image and a sound came from it.
It was also a bedroom, but much more luxurious than the one Gu Cheng was in.
A woman in her early forties, with a beautiful appearance but sharp eyebrows and a slightly mean look, stood there and asked a Taoist priest next to her who was wearing a blood-red robe, with a skinny figure and a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks: "I said you can You can’t go faster, why are you so slow?”
Gu Cheng frowned slightly. He remembered that this woman was his second uncle's wife, Mrs. Zhang, who was also his aunt.
Mr. Zhang was usually acrimonious and did not treat him well.
It's just that the person in charge of the Gu family now is his grandmother, Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Gu loves her grandson Gu Cheng the most, and Mrs. Zhang doesn't dare to do anything to Gu Cheng openly.
The Taoist priest fiddled with a few hair strands in his hand. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, "Madam, why are you in such a hurry? Work slowly and carefully."
To be honest, if your mother's brother's good friend's second uncle hadn't been my junior brother, I wouldn't have bothered to take your order.
Jingyesi has countless hawks and dogs in this part of the capital. If they find out, I will be in dire straits.
Jingyesi's black prison is not a place for humans to stay, bah! Even ghosts don't want to stay there!
I won’t bargain for five thousand taels of silver. I’ll pay first and do it later. I won’t deceive you, nor will you be deceived by men or ghosts. I guarantee your satisfaction.”
Mrs. Zhang screamed when she heard this: "Five thousand taels! Didn't you say three thousand taels before?"
The sharp-mouthed Taoist priest said calmly: "It's true that Pindao costs three thousand taels, but Pindao's junior brother also costs one thousand taels. Junior Brother Pindao's nephew, who is your brother's friend, also costs one thousand taels. There is no agency fee.
heard about it?"
Mrs. Zhang gritted her teeth and took out a five thousand tael of silver notes: "Here you go! But I have to watch that little beast die today!
The old lady is partial!
For so many years, it has been my second wife who has taken care of the family business, and my husband is the only official in the entire palace. Why should the old lady pass the title to that little beast!?
If you don't kill him, the old lady will ask the court to formally transfer the title to him after the little beast has his crowning ceremony in two months!"
The Taoist priest took the banknote, shook his head slightly, and muttered: "Women have the most poisonous hearts."
"What did you say?"
The Taoist priest chuckled: "I didn't say anything. Madam, your money is in place, and I will handle the matter for you. Just take care of it."
As he spoke, the Taoist priest quickly weaved his hair into threads and made seals with his hands. Strangely, his shriveled body began to swell.
Something the size of a human head poured into his throat from his chest and abdomen, stretching his face in a circle, the corners of his mouth cracked in a terrifying arc, and finally spit out a heart monster the size of a human head!
Seeing such a terrifying scene, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but turn pale with fright. She held back and covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.
Although she vaguely knew that there were such evil magic and secrets in the world, and there were even people in her family who had dealings with these people, this was the first time she had actually seen them.
The Taoist priest said proudly: "Madam, don't be afraid. This is the temple ghost with five internal organs that I, a poor Taoist, sacrificed and refined. The five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys can communicate with ghosts. I use it as a temple to sacrifice ghosts and raise ghosts. Killing people without blood."
After the ghost kills someone, there will be no external injuries, but it will cause heartache and death. You Zuo will never see any abnormality at all, and will only think that the person died of a sudden illness."
With that said, the Taoist priest fed the braided hair to the heart ghost. With a wave of his hand, the heart ghost disappeared.
"Go and kill the owner of that hair!"
After a while, a strange look appeared in the Taoist priest's eyes, and he murmured: "Why hasn't there been any movement? It shouldn't be. No strong man with strong body can persist for such a long time."
At this moment, the Taoist priest suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and screamed: "My heart!"
