Eighteen years ago, during the Shunhe period of the Dachang Dynasty.

Jiuyuan Kingdom, the western wasteland Gobi.

The old man carrying a backpack led a child cautiously on the battlefield where the fighting had just ended. He used his hands to drive away the crows that were pecking at the corpses. The crows flew into the sky and hovered above the two of them.

The child suddenly stopped and looked at a corpse: "Grandpa, can dead people laugh?"

The old man looked at the corpse with a strange smile next to him and explained: "People come into this world crying, so they should also smile when they leave."

After speaking, the old man smiled at the child. Just when he was secretly proud of his humanistic and philosophical explanation, the child pointed to the corpse next to him and asked: "Then why is this dead head crying?"

The grandfather's smile disappeared and he slapped the child on the head: "You are the only one who has a lot of trouble! All the good things here have been picked up, so hurry up and take a look over there. Remember, you don't have to go through those clothes."

The corpses of straw sandals are all poor people."

"What does Qiongcha mean?"

"The cross represents a sensitive word. If you say it, it will be automatically blocked. You can only understand it."

The child looked down at the straw sandals on his feet: "I understand, so we are also poor, right?"

The grandfather clenched his fists and kept smiling, but the child's questions did not end.

"Grandpa, why are there so many corpses but no blood?"

"It couldn't pass the review because it was too bloody. The book had to be sealed at the beginning, and the guy who wrote it was finished."

"Oh, grandpa, you know so much."

"Oh, they were all forced, no, they were forked."

Just after the grandfather and grandson walked towards the distance against the setting sun, the smiling corpse yawned and turned over, looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that no one was around, reached out and pushed the full body next to it.

The corpse with a crying face: "Xingshu, wake up, don't sleep."

The corpse called Xingshu snored, and the man stepped on his face: "Sleep with your sister! Get up!"

Xing Shu, who had footprints on his face, finally opened his eyes: "Brother, I had a very miserable dream."

These two guys who were sleeping soundly on the battlefield are senior brothers. The senior brother is Hu Shuntang, and the junior brother is Xingshu. Although they are both fresh graduates from the Heretic Academy, their majors are completely different. Hu Shuntang chose

The coffin opener is a professional, while the executioner is a cargo chaser, and their main teacher is Li Chaonian, the well-known Prime Minister of the Different Worlds.

The same earth sign teaches two students with different professions, just like a private school teacher training his two students to become monks and Taoist priests respectively.

As for the terms "heterodox", "heteropath academy", "coffin opener", "cargo collector", and "geographical phase", old friends must be familiar with them, but new friends will definitely be confused after reading this. Don't worry, they will explain it naturally later.

Back to the story, Hu Shuntang heard Xing Shu say that he had a very sad dream, but he was not curious at all. Instead, he took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it directly on Xing Shu's forehead.

Xingshu, who had a talisman stuck on his forehead, asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

When Hu Shuntang was about to explain, a group of government officials appeared in the distance. Both the people and the horses in that group had their eyes glowing blood-red under the setting sun.

Hu Shuntang saw this and pushed Xingshu to the ground: "Oh no! It's Guijia!"

Xing Shu was frightened when he heard this. He huddled up and covered his mouth with his hands.

What is Guijia?

Gui (gui), the tenth of the heavenly stems, is also known as Zhaoyang. Zhaoyang's son is named Jiaxuan. Jiaxuan was originally the Kuixing of the Nine Heavens. He carries a long bow and is good at archery. He is very talented in eight fights. The father and son of Zhaoyang and Jiaxuan are related to each other.

He despised Jiutian and was sentenced to death. After his death, the father and son turned into resentment. The resentment fell onto the earth of Jiuyuan, and all things blended with it can become Guijia.

Guijia is neither human, nor ghost, nor demon, nor demon.

Although Guijia was born in the Nine Plains, he can reach the Nine Heavens, enter the Nine Realms, and span Yin and Yang.

To put it in layman's terms, there used to be an immortal named Zhaoyang above the Nine Heavens. This brother gave birth to a son named Jiaxuan. Jiaxuan was also in the immortal class and was named Kuixing. He did better than his father. But Jiaxuan

Xuanzhi is an arrogant and self-righteous man who defies the heavens, the earth, and the air, causing all the gods of the Nine Heavens to jointly submit a letter to impeach Jia Xuan. The Emperor of the Nine Heavens, who originally wanted to spare Jia Xuan, was criticized again by Jia Xuan, and out of anger, he directly killed Jia Xuan.

He gave death to Zhaoyang and his son.

After the death of the father and son, their resentment persisted, and they fell into the land of Jiuyuan, where they continued to replicate themselves. If anyone accidentally inhaled this resentment, they would become a creature called Guijia. The creature that became Guijia could also

Others also became Guijia.

Guijia, a new creature, is neither a human, nor a ghost, nor a demon. It is also divided into levels. High-level Guijia can travel between Yin and Yang.

In this world, the underworld is called Jiuyu, the Yangworld is called Jiuyuan, and the place where the gods live is called Jiutian.

To sum up, it is equivalent to a biochemical crisis breaking out in this world called Jiuyuan. Not only people, but also animals have a chance of being infected and become Guijia, and the infected people will have some strange behaviors in the early stage, including...

Limited to madness, uncontrollable singing and dancing, or severe violent tendencies.

This is the reason why Hu Shuntang wanted to put a talisman paper on Xing Shu's forehead. He realized that his junior brother had a high probability of being infected in the previous melee.

Originally, today was the internship day for fresh graduates from Yi Dao College. Li Chaonian led about fifty of his students to set up an ambush here, with the purpose of destroying an escort team that was possessed by Guijia. But in this escort team

When he was about to approach the encirclement, Xing Shu suddenly burst into song and sang "When Love Is Approaching".

It is a very sad song, and sad songs naturally bring about sad results.

The suspected infected Xingshu's singing directly exposed the positions of these freshmen from the Heretic Academy, causing them to launch an attack in advance. Who knew that just as they rushed out, a group of robbers also rushed out from behind the hill on the left.

The bandits on the road were killed, and then a group of bandit suppressing troops from the Xiyuan government came out of the hill on the right.

In this chaotic situation, the people from the Heretic Academy could not find any chance to explain, and everyone present might be infected and become Guijia. Therefore, the ambush against Guijia quickly turned into a big conspiracy in all directions.

The melee lasted for a whole day, and the final result was that we were both destroyed.

Why could Hu Shuntang and Xing Shu still survive? Soon after the fight started, Xing Shu was frightened and fainted. After Li Chaonian discovered that the situation was urgent, he directly grabbed the frightened Xing Shu and threw it to Hu Shuntang. He was originally asked to carry it on his back.

He left with the fainting technique, but he didn't expect to knock Hu Shuntang unconscious directly.

Because Hu Shuntang and Xing Shu are Li Chaonian's most valued students, and they are also the protagonists in "Midnight Coffin Opener" and "Strange Goods" in the Foreign Culture series, they naturally have the aura of protagonists and will not die so easily.

However, Xing Shu and Hu Shuntang, who had fainted one after another, did not notice Li Chaonian who had taken advantage of the chaos and escaped.

It must be mentioned here that Hu Shuntang never smiles on weekdays, but as long as he falls asleep, he will show a gentle and bright smile, so he is called the "non-smiling child" by others in the academy.

Returning to the main story, Hu Shuntang carefully raised his eyes and looked at the Guijia: "It seems that the government's corpse collection team has also been possessed by Guijia."

Xing Shu covered his mouth hard, but still couldn't resist the urge to sing, so he had to take off his socks and stuff them in his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Hu Shuntang said: "Are you crazy!? Your socks are so dirty!" After saying that, Hu Shuntang took the socks from Xing Shu's mouth, then took off his own socks and handed them to Xing Shu, "Use mine, I'll compete with you."

You love to be clean, so I have to change my socks every half month."

Xing Shu shed tears, not because he was moved, but because of the smell of his socks.

Hu Shuntang touched his waist: "I only have three talismans left, but with five Guijia, we have almost no chance of winning. We can only continue to pretend to be dead. Maybe they won't find us."

Although Xingshu is also a student of the Heretic Academy, he is not good at fighting. The key is that even if he is wearing talismans and shouting about smelly socks, he can't completely suppress the idea of ​​singing. He is very afraid of what will happen next.

In seconds, he will turn into Guijia.

Then, he was beaten to death by his senior brother!

The two of them continued to pretend to be dead, and while they were silently chanting "You can't see me" in their hearts, the Guijia in the distance seemed to notice something.

The leader, Guijia, sniffed with his nose and said, "There seems to be a living person. You two, go over and have a look."

The two soldiers, known as Guijia, walked toward Hu Shuntang and Xingshu's position with weapons in hand, stabbing every corpse they saw along the way.

Seeing the two Guijia getting closer and closer, Xingshu's body was shaking more and more violently, and he even started to roll his eyes.

Hu Shuntang grabbed Xing Shu's hand and whispered: "Junior brother, you must hold back. Whether you live or die is up to you."

Xing Shu, with his eyes rolled white and saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, said tremblingly: "Don't worry, I'm still in the song selection stage. I really can't find a song that suits this scene, so I'm very confused."

Choose your sister! You retard! Hu Shuntang was dumbfounded, but he couldn't get angry at the moment, so he could only comfort him: "Junior brother, you must hold back. If we can survive this time, even if senior brother travels all over the world,

Find God to heal you."

Hu Shuntang's words surprised Xing Shu. He didn't expect that his senior brother not only didn't blame him, but actually wanted to take him to find a famous doctor, and didn't even let him quarantine at home for 14 days. This is probably love, right?

Xing Shu was moved and smiled, but tears of laughter flowed down his face. The urge to sing was also resolved by Hu Shuntang's love. He grabbed Hu Shuntang's hand and swallowed: "Brother, if I can survive this time,

Come down, let’s... get married!"

The air condensed at this moment. Hu Shuntang took a deep breath and jumped up and stepped on Xing Shu's face continuously: "I am your sister! Go to hell! This is not a fucking beauty novel!"

Hu Shuntang jumped up, startling the Guijia, and those Guijia didn't understand why Hu Shuntang suddenly jumped up and violently attacked the person next to him, with a happy smile on his face covered with shoe prints.

Guijia cannot understand human emotions, just like they don't know that love and hate are the roots of human power!

Now! While the Guijia group was in a daze, Hu Shuntang had already taken out the two talisman papers from his waist, folded the talisman papers into a dart shape, and threw them out. He also shouted out the activated talisman: "I love you alone."

Take the dark alley!”

The talisman paper dart exploded the moment it hit the two Guijia soldiers, and the huge flames instantly reduced the two evil objects to nothing.

"Be careful! They are heretics!" The leader of Guijia put on a fighting stance, "Disperse!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of Guijia felt the aura of another subordinate disappear. The leader slowly turned around and found that Hu Shuntang had come behind him at some point and stuffed the remaining talisman into that subordinate.

In his mouth, the Guijia was burned into a pile of ashes in an instant.

The speed was so fast. The leader of Guijia glanced at the only remaining subordinate. When the subordinate was about to step forward, he raised his hand to stop him: "It's interesting. Unlike the group of trash we met before, you are no match for him."

,Leave it to me."

Hu Shuntang said coldly: "I'm in a hurry, you guys can come together."
