"A great catastrophe is approaching, and the sky and the earth will be dark!"
"The third eye hangs in the sky, and the sun and moon reopen!"
"When the universe returns, everyone will stand up"
The fanatical shouts gathered into one and floated into Chen Zheng's mind, causing waves in Chen Zheng's groggy consciousness:
Who is speaking?
The eyelids were so heavy that it was difficult to open them. The fanatical shouting gradually subsided, and then was replaced by a hoarse and strange female voice:
"The mud originated from the beginning of chaos, and the appearance of the Third Eye was a great event. Chen Zheng failed to pass the test of the Third Eye, because he was unlucky. He should take his Third Eye, burn his body, and return to the embrace of the True Eye. All the disciples saluted—
—!"
Who is calling me?
What is she saying?
The noise and shouting started again, as if some kind of grand ceremony had begun.
When Chen Zheng's name was called, he felt a sense of danger for no reason, as if his consciousness suddenly woke up from being stuck in a quagmire, and he opened his eyes.
In the sight, the sky is dark and the earth is dark, with a lone cloud and a waning moon hanging high in the sky.
Ten meters away, hundreds of figures in strange clothes, whose specific appearance could not be seen clearly, were holding torches and half-kneeling on the ground, forming a circle, like a pilgrim.
A few steps away, there was a slim and graceful woman with her arms raised, as if she was presiding over some kind of ceremony.
As for himself, he was lying on a stone platform in the center of the crowd, as if he was about to be sacrificed.
???
Where is this?
Seeing such a weird and bizarre scene, Chen Zheng subconsciously sat up and stood there blankly.
What a pity, as a graduate student majoring in archeology, he remembered that he had been studying a piece of writing he had collected from a street stall at home, and was preparing a video to make enough money for dinner. Why did he appear here inexplicably?
Did you wear it?
boom!
As if to confirm his thoughts, just the next moment, huge and disorganized memory fragments rushed out like a flood that burst a dam, flashing back.
In the Guangwu Celestial Dynasty, weird things happened frequently, people were fleeing from the borderlands, and the Tianmu Divine Sect.
One, also named Chen Zheng, was like a strange memory of another self in another time and space, which suddenly washed away and submerged his consciousness.
The memory information came unexpectedly, and at the same time, the center of his eyebrows began to beat for no apparent reason. Chen Zheng couldn't help but groan in pain, and subconsciously covered his forehead.
Then, his whole body stiffened involuntarily.
Because his palm suddenly touched, in the middle of his eyebrows, there was a strange and smooth sphere that was rotating like an independent life form.
Astonishingly, there is a third eye growing between the eyebrows!
grass!
When he touched what seemed to be the third eye between his eyebrows, Chen Zheng's heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, and his palms bounced away like an electric shock!
And just when he was panicking and losing his composure, dozens of half-kneeling figures around him were in an uproar, obviously extremely surprised by his awakening.
"Um?"
At the same time, a few steps away, the female figure with her back to Chen Zheng had turned around and cast a surprised look:
"you are still alive?"
At this moment, Chen Zheng was at a loss for words, but he also vaguely caught a glimpse of a woman who was speaking, with a graceful figure and an extremely alluring appearance.
What's even more bizarre is that under the night, her eyes are faintly glowing with an evil red light. There are actually three slightly convex red marks on her forehead and under her eyelids, like three closed eyes!
"me"
In shock, Chen Zheng's head seemed to explode and he was unable to speak complete words.
"Ma'am, this?"
Among the half-kneeling crowd holding torches, a man in black robe with a sinister face and strange snake eyes hurried forward, came behind the evil woman, and looked at her in surprise:
"My subordinates have checked before. When he went to the altar, his breath was completely cut off. Could it be that evil has entered his body?"
"No, it's probably not evil. If evil had entered his body, he would have gone crazy and transformed, and he wouldn't be able to survive now."
The evil woman called Madam had a playful look in her eyes, as if she had discovered something new, and she softly said:
"Chen Zheng, do you know who I am?"
Chaotic memories surged in his mind, and various fragments were strange and horrifying. Chen Zheng, who vaguely understood what was happening to him, endured a splitting headache and subconsciously responded:
"Five, Mrs. Wumu.?"
"You dare to be bold."
Just as the man in black robe was about to scold him, the woman known as Mrs. Five Eyes stretched out her hand to stop her, with a pleased smile on her evil and alluring face:
"Very good. Now that you recognize me, it seems there is still a chance. Qi Gang, suspend the ritual and send him back to the dungeon for observation overnight to see how he is doing."
"yes."
The man in black robe known as Qi Gang bowed his hands respectfully, and then extended his hand:
"You two, take him back to the dungeon!"
Following the order, two figures in gray robes came forward not far away, holding dark iron chains, and cautiously surrounded Chen Zheng, as if they were rounding up a ferocious beast.
Facing this kind of battle, Chen Zheng, whose mind was in a state of confusion, was unable to resist at all. He could only let the other party completely bind him, and he was led off the altar in a daze and walked in a certain direction.
During this period, he also saw these two people in a trance, looking evil and evil.
One has eyes on his neck,
One arm has eyes,
No one is a normal person!
After a while.
With a clang, the heavy rusty iron door was closed, and Chen Zheng, whose movement was restricted by bracelets and anklets, was thrown into a dark and damp underground cage.
"He was able to save another life even though the third eye transplant failed. What a lucky boy."
Through the railing, Qi Gang's evil eyes looked at Chen Zheng, who was on the ground with his eyes closed, and ordered two guards-looking men in gray robes:
"You two are optimistic about him. If anything happens, report it as soon as possible!"
Two strange-looking men in gray robes responded in succession.
Qi Gang left, the two of them muttered something unlucky, and returned to the entrance of the dungeon, staring at the cage where Chen Zheng was from time to time, as if they were afraid of something happening.
Not long after, Chen Zheng, who was lying on the ground in the cage, slowly opened his eyes.
Having basically digested the messy memories in his mind, he carefully looked around the surrounding environment, his face turned blue, and he kept his posture and did not dare to make any big movements:
"Damn, I'm really wearing it."
"It's still soul penetration."
By now, he has understood that all this is not imagination and fantasy, and that his soul has indeed traveled to another world.
This is a quasi-ancient world called the Guangwu Celestial Dynasty. There are also extraordinary powers such as martial arts practice. It does not belong to any dynasty he knows.
But the name and appearance of the original owner of this body are the same as his own, like another self in parallel time and space.
The original owner was only twenty years old, and he was originally just a commoner. A few years ago, his family fled because of the earth dragon.
During this period, a group of refugees were killed by bandits and completely separated. After several twists and turns, the original owner was kidnapped and brought here, and eventually became a low-level member of the Tianmu Sect.
As for the place where we are now, it is actually a secret stronghold of the Tianmu Divine Sect in the wilderness, and everyone we just saw is also a member of the sect.
"Tianmu Divine Cult."
However, Chen Zheng subconsciously touched the third eye that was still moving strangely between his eyebrows. Chen Zheng's face turned slightly pale, but the corners of his mouth were twitching:
"What kind of divine religion? This is a fucking cult! This world is not normal at all!"
According to the memory of the original owner, the world he traveled through was an extraordinary evil one.
Different from the common monsters and ghosts in novels, there are hidden evil spirits in this world that cause harm to the world, which are called evil spirits.
Evil beings are invisible and exist between reality and illusion. It is said that they may break through the barrier between dreams and reality and possess the human body late at night.
People possessed by evil will go crazy, go crazy, and attack everything around them indiscriminately. Some even change their bodies and become irrational, inhuman evil monsters.
Can you believe that a person can go crazy and turn into a terrifying monster for no apparent reason while sleeping peacefully?
Chen Zheng didn't want to believe it either, but the original owner had witnessed such horrific things more than once in his memory, so he couldn't help but not believe it.
Not to mention, in this stronghold of the Tianmu Sect, several such strange events occur every year.
Even just last month, a believer suddenly collapsed and went crazy in his sleep late at night.
He transformed into a terrifying demon with cracked skin and eyes, broke into other houses, killed and ate two unlucky congregants alive, and then was killed on the spot by other people who heard the news.
The memory of the original owner was clearly engraved with the horror of the demon's appearance, as well as the tragic scene of the two unlucky members being disemboweled and eating their hearts and livers raw.
To a modern man like Chen Zheng, that picture is simply scarier than the world of horror movies.
But that's all. What's even worse is the situation of the original owner.
The Tianmu Sect that the original owner joined takes the so-called True Eye of Heaven as its totem of faith, and claims that evil is actually the punishment sent down by the True Eye of Heaven on those who sin in the world.
In particular, the Tianmu Sect also believes that if one takes evil and turns it into an evil eye, consumes its blood or transplants one's own body, one can establish a connection with the hidden True Eye of Heaven.
After that, he can gradually shed his mortal body, gain insight into the true mysteries of heaven and earth, and gain unimaginable supernatural powers.
In the eyes of a modern man like Chen Zheng, this bullshit teaching is so insane that he would not be able to figure it out even if he had a cerebral thrombosis for ten years.
Everyone knows that evil spirits and demons are extremely evil existences. When their blood enters the human body, it will produce contamination like a virus, causing people to gradually become mentally crazy, alienated from body, and become neither human nor ghost.
The world is afraid of avoiding this, but the followers of the Tianmu God Sect are like actively accepting it. Even lunatic is not enough to describe it!
However, the original owner of this body was completely brainwashed after being kidnapped and converted into a religion a few years ago. Not only did he become a fanatical believer in the Tianmu religion, he even willingly accepted a Tianmu transplant with a very high mortality rate some time ago.
As a result, the original protagonist failed and eventually died unfortunately, which led to Chen Zheng's time travel and the occupation of Magpie's Nest.
"Forget about the world of horror movies, he's still a member of a fucking cult with three eyes."
"Can it be any more unlucky!?"
Resisting the urge to touch the evil eye between his brows, Chen Zheng slumped in the corner, feeling hopeless and almost unable to accept this reality.
Not to mention that this body was transplanted with evil eyes and became neither human nor ghost.
Outside, the Tianmu Sect has long been classified as a cult that needs to be exterminated by the Chinese court, and everyone is calling for a beating.
From top to bottom, one by one, they are all rats in the gutter who cannot see the light. If they are caught, they will be beheaded at least, and the nine tribes will be implicated at worst.
If he traveled through normal ancient times, copying poems to show off, perfume and soap, being crowned king and prime minister, having three wives and four concubines, Chen Zheng could barely accept it.
But with such a weird and terrible start to a horror movie, he didn't want to stay even half a minute longer!
"etc."
After a period of self-pity, Chen Zheng's anxious mood gradually calmed down, and his mind was spinning rapidly:
"As usual, since we have traveled through time, we must have a golden finger, right? In this case, I should."
Thinking of this, he concentrated all his energy and called in his heart:
"system?"
Buzz!
As if in response, a violent dizziness suddenly appeared in his mind, and then golden light bloomed instantly!
His consciousness seemed to be boiling, and a huge shadow of golden light was like the rising sun, breaking through all the fog, and slowly emerged in his mind in such an incredible way.
"Really?"
Sensing the vision in his mind, Chen Zheng was immediately overjoyed!
