Maple Mountain.
It is located more than ten miles south of North Rock City.
Looking at the maple leaves that covered the mountain, Ye Sheng could not help but sigh deeply.
Ye Sheng, also known as Qingshan, was talented and fond of reading.
He was already a scholar at such a young age.
He had been tirelessly studying at home, preparing to take part in the provincial examination to become a Juren.
However, the current Emperor had listened to the slanderous words of the country protector, saying that "a useless scholar".
He actually issued an edict to abolish the national civil examination and instead promoted the military examination, using martial arts to determine the size of the official rank.
The moment this token was issued, it was like a bolt from the blue.
The scholar title that he had obtained after ten years of hard work had become worthless.
And Ye Sheng had no strength at all, so it was even more hopeless for him to turn to the martial arts examination.
Under the repeated attacks, Ye Sheng died half a month ago.
The person standing on the mountain peak and sighing was Ye Sheng, who had transmigrated from Earth.
"Sigh, half a month has already passed.”
He had thought that after transmigrating, he would be able to do something big with his modern memories.
He did not expect that the Shenchu Dynasty would respect martial arts.
Ye Sheng knew very well how much he was worth. He was just an ordinary youth.
He was neither the number one assassin in the world, nor was he an ace special forces soldier, nor was he an ability master of the national Dragon Division.
In the past half a month, he had trained with his life on the line.
Although his physical fitness had improved greatly, he could not even be considered a Rank-1 martial artist.
It could be said that his talent in martial arts was extremely low.
"God, are you kidding me?"
"Other transmigrators have a lot of divine artifacts and immortal artifacts. Why don't I give them a single hair?”
Ye Sheng stood on the mountaintop and vented his anger. His depressed mood was slightly relieved.
"Sigh, it's actually not bad to be a rich young master quietly.”
The Emperor's promotion of the martial arts examination was a huge blow to a scholar like Ye Sheng.
However, it had made the Ye Family one of the top families in Northern Rock City.
Ye Sheng's father, Ye Jingtian, was a Rank-4 martial artist. Previously, he was only a constable in the county.
But now, the constable had great power, second only to the county magistrate.
What a joke.
Ye Sheng shook his head and started walking down the mountain.
Instead of going back the way he came, he chose a remote path and turned in.
This small path was very quiet, with only a few bird chirps coming from the shade of the trees.
As he walked, his mood began to ease.
Sob...
Suddenly, Ye Sheng heard the cries of animals in front of him. Then, a little fox stumbled out of the forest.
It was a rare white fox!
Its entire body was snow-white, without a trace of other colors. Its fur was as smooth as silk, and it even faintly suffused a faint luster. It was extremely strange.
Even though it was injured, the white fox still ran with all its might, as if there was a natural enemy chasing after it.
Awooo!
As expected, a wolf howled.
A moment later, a majestic black wolf pounced out.
The white fox was panic-stricken and ran straight to Ye Sheng. Her eyes were on the verge of tears. When she looked at Ye Sheng, she seemed to be begging him to help her.
If it was in the past, Ye Sheng would definitely run away in fear when he saw this wolf.
However, in the past half a month, he had been practicing martial arts with the guards at home. His physical fitness had improved, and his courage had also increased a lot.
Most importantly, this white fox seemed to understand human nature!
Ye Sheng quickly pulled out his sword from his waist. He did not dare to make a move and only looked at the wolf.
When the black wolf saw Ye Sheng blocking the way, it let out muffled roars from its throat, but it did not dare to go forward.
Seeing the black wolf hesitate, Ye Sheng's expression hardened and he was about to slash it.
The black wolf showed an uneasy expression. Finally, it made up its mind. It glared at Ye Sheng fiercely, spread its legs, and ran back into the forest.
Ye Sheng secretly exclaimed,"Lucky."
Just as he was about to put away his sword, he heard a humming sound behind him.
He turned around and saw that it was the little white fox.
It stood up and raised its two forelimbs high. Then, it clasped them together and bowed respectfully to Ye Sheng.
After bowing, he lowered his body and knelt down. His obedient little head respectfully knocked on the ground with a bang.
As she bowed, she cried out as if she was thanking him.
Seeing this, Ye Sheng felt his head buzzing." Vixen?”
After the little white fox kowtowed, it got up and limped away in another direction.
Looking at the white fox's gradually disappearing figure, Ye Sheng felt his entire body tremble.
"Are there ghosts and immortals in this world?”
Ye Sheng returned to his senses and immediately ran back home. He went all the way to the big study room where the books were kept.
The study was silent.
He began to search the bookshelves one by one.
Soon, he found a record book of the local county.
Then, he took out all these books and began to flip through them one by one.
"In the forty-second year of Shenchu, a red-haired old man appeared in the outskirts of Northern Rock City. He killed twelve people in a row in his madness and was killed by a group of government officials.”
"In the fifty-fifth year of Shenchu, in the downtown area of Northern Rock City, there was a person on the street whose head suddenly separated from his body.”
"In the 68th year of Shenchu, the Song family was wiped out overnight. More than ten corpses were placed at the door. There was not a single wound on the corpses.”
........
He looked at the case records of various sizes.
The more Ye Sheng looked, the more alarmed he became. The more he looked, the more uneasy he felt.
This world seemed peaceful, but in reality, there were already turbulent undercurrents. It could be said that danger lurked at every step.
He opened another book.
This book was even more exaggerated than the previous one.
"In the 92nd year of Shenchu, the pawnshop manager of Northern Rock City went missing. His limbs were found in four different places outside the city. He died only three days ago, and his body had already decomposed into white bones.”
"In the ninety-eighth year of Shenchu, fog appeared on the main road leading to Gu Lan City. Those who entered lost their sense of direction. No matter how they walked, they seemed to be walking in circles. Ten days later, the fog will disappear."
When Ye Sheng saw this, he could almost confirm that this world was not as simple as he thought. Demons and ghosts probably really existed.
He shifted his chair, picked up the flint, and lit the candlestick on the table.
The bright yellow candlelight illuminated his face.
"The more peaceful it is, the more ghosts die in vain. What can I use to protect myself now?”
After thinking for a while, Ye Sheng couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. Just as he was about to get up slowly, a pleasant voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
" Energy storage completed. Card System officially activated."
"This system is the latest product developed by the president of the transmigrator association, Gong Chengshi. Perfect service, perfect life, will definitely bring you a great trip to the other world!”
