It's a bit cold at night.

The wind came in through the window that had broken a hole, and could hear the rustling sound outside, but it revealed a strange silence.

In the room, in the darkness where my hands were gone.

Yang An lay on the bed, hiding her body completely in a thin quilt.

His hand slowly stretched out, trying not to make any noise, and then he touched a piece of soft object under the pillow, and then he felt a little more at ease.

Under the pillow is a red cloth the size of a fist, wrapped in a small rub of incense ash, and you can smell a faint rosin.

In recent days, many civilians in the town have been promoting this method, which is said to be able to resist the demons that often appear at night during this period.

Just go to the White Buddha Temple in the north of the town to burn incense, ask for a rub of incense ash to take it home, wrap it in a red cloth and put it under the pillow.

Even if the demon enters the house, he can keep his safety from being discovered.

It’s just that this small incense ash is not easy to ask for.

The monks in Baifu Temple start at the price, and the incense money starts at least thirty copper plates to get a little incense ash the size of their thumb.

Yang An felt very painful for this.

Not long after he traveled through time to this world, the original owner of this body was relatively poor. Not to mention that his family was barely barely covered, but he could only barely maintain food and clothing. Thirty cents were not a small amount for him.

But when he thought that compared with his own life, money was just something outside his body, he didn't want to come to this world for a few days and just turned out to be so burping, so he had to pay for it obediently.

I just hope that the incense ash is as effective as the people in the town say.

At first, when he first came to this world, Yang An didn't believe in any demonic sayings, thinking that they were all rumors fabricated by people.

It was only after these days that he gradually received the memory of the original owner of the body that he finally understood how terrible this world was.

Before, dynasties fell apart, wars were everywhere, and people were living in poverty.

Later, demons caused chaos in the world, and emerged one after another, and chose people to eat them.

The poor people who are already in dire straits and in the midst of disasters, they are already in great pain.

In this environment, even in a small Jiunan Town, which is far away from the wars everywhere, people's faces are covered with a thick shadow of despair.

Recently, it has been rumored that there were people-eating demons in Jiunan Town. Then one night ten days ago, there were a few corpses with extremely tragic deaths in the town for no reason.

One of the dead was less than a hundred steps away from Yang An's house.

Yang An followed the others to take a look and almost vomited it on the spot. He didn't have a meal for two days.

In the next few days, from time to time, I could hear the news that some family members were missing and who was gone, but Yang An never joined in the fun again.

Looking at this scene, everyone knows that there are demons who are making trouble and cannot do anything fake.

In today's chaotic times, I can't live for a while. Even Jiunan Town has demons, let alone other places, I can't run away.

For this reason, the rich merchants in the town spent a lot of money to invite monks in Baifo Temple to guard the hospital.

The poor people could only find other ways to find a way out. In the end, they turned their attention to Baifo Temple and exchanged money for some incense ash in order to get temporary protection.

Yang An had no choice but to follow the crowd and buy some incense ash, and at the same time he prayed in his heart that the demon would never come to him.

After finally having a mediocre life in his previous life, God gave him another chance.

He really didn't want to waste his hard-earned second life so soon.

However, when it comes to the existence of demons in this world, Yang An remembered something in his predecessor’s memory.

It was a broken page of a scripture passed down from his ancestors. According to his father, it recorded a magic spell of immortals, buried in the soil under the water tank.

But my father warned him when he was dying that he must not take it out before the most necessary life and death moment, otherwise it will cause disaster.

My predecessor has always believed in my father's last words, so he has never become curious about it.

Now Yang An is here, he is different.

Judging from the knowledge of previous lives, in this terrifying world, there must be immortals and gods, and even if it is not good, there are people with powerful martial arts.

But he didn't understand. There was such a good thing at home, and his predecessor's father warned him not to touch him when he died.

That's a magic spell.

Yang An has never seen what the legendary immortal magic looks like.

Why exactly?

Just as Yang An was thinking about this question, a shrill scream suddenly came from the street outside the house.

It seemed to be the voice of a woman, screaming desperately, especially loud in this quiet night.

But the sound only lasted for less than a breath, and it stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell into a strange silence again.

Hiding in the quilt, Yang An's body shook and he couldn't help but tighten the quilt with his hands.

This is a demon coming!

At this moment, his breathing became rapid, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated with nervousness.

The place where the sound came seemed to be very close to him, which made him worry about his own safety and made him feel a little panicked.

What if the demon comes to the door?

Is the incense ash from Baifo Temple useful?

What should I do if it is useless?

Many thoughts kept flashing through Yang An's mind, which made him extremely nervous. Even the air in the quilt seemed to become extremely hot.

Until a long time passed, there was still silence outside, and nothing seemed to have happened.

After those shrill screams, everything seemed to become calm again.

But Yang An did not dare to relax his vigilance at all. A lot of sweat spilled out of his forehead. He was so hot that he couldn't stand it, and his consciousness seemed to become a little confused.

It passed for a while.

Just as Yang An was confused, a very light footstep sounded in the house, slowly from far to near.

It seemed that something had entered his room!

But at this time, Yang An could no longer concentrate, and felt his mind became more and more drowsy and weak, and he could not even move his fingers.

He just felt that something had moved closer and walked to the bed.

And then.

He completely lost consciousness.

...

I don't know how long it has passed.

When Yang An opened her eyes, she gently lifted the quilt and found that it was already bright outside the house.

The white light shone in through the doors, windows and gaps, and the room was bright and tiny dust floated clearly in the air.

"I... fell asleep last night?"

He rubbed his eyes, lifted the quilt, and checked his body.

Intact.

Yang An suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.

Looking back at the moment when he lost consciousness in the middle of the night last night, he clearly felt something walking to his bedside.

Is it an illusion?

Hiding in the quilt, the air does not circulate, and hallucination caused by lack of oxygen?

It seems to be reasonable.

As long as it's okay.

Yang An finally didn't take what happened last night to heart.

After rubbing his eyes and becoming much more awake, Yang An turned around and folded the quilt, then turned on the pillow, and the red cloth wrapped in incense grey was still there.

He decided to put this thing in his body, and he could not let it go at will, no matter how valuable it is or how to seek peace of mind.

But just when he reached out to grab the red cloth bag and was about to pick it up.

His hands haven't been exerted yet.

The red cloth wrapped in incense ash, along with the incense ash, could be seen suddenly turning into black ashes and running out of his fingers and spilling down a bed.

Yang An was stunned.
