Gwangju Yucheng.

Ma Yuanwai is a famous landlord and gentry. His family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, and his beautiful wife and concubines should have been free and happy to spend the rest of his life.

But as the saying goes, there is no bitterness that cannot be endured, but there is no blessing that cannot be enjoyed.

A serious illness almost killed him. Fortunately, the passerby took action and saved half of his life.

Since then, except for being addicted to women, he has the rest of his time to seek immortality and ask questions.

It took half a lifetime to accumulate and finally find a foundation-building pill. It originally planned to cut off hair and cleanse the marrow, not seeking immortality, but seeking to prolong life.

But God's will makes people beat people, and the foundation-building pill that he finally asked for was eaten by a gray-haired mouse under the eyes of Kui Kui.

Mr. Ma was already weak in energy and his body was weak. When he was anxious, his yellow phlegm stuck in his throat and could not go up or down, so he passed away.

This incident caused a sensation, from high-ranking officials to the people of the market, even beggars along the streets used as jokes.

...

Today, the Ma family was having funerals, the mourning hall was laid out in luxury, and there were many wreaths and paper people. There were countless elegiac couplets on both sides of the coffin, recording Ma Yuanwai’s life achievements.

Although he is a coward, he is still a glorious person.

The relatives were kneeling in front of the coffin wearing mourning clothes, especially Ma Yuanwai's original wife and concubine, who cried hard, and even the sound of suona could not cover the crying of the two.

There are many condolence guests around, and it can be seen that Ma Yuanwai is really popular.

In a corner of the mourning hall, the gray-haired rat sat cross-legged in the dark mouse hole like a human, but was somewhat hypocritical.

His name is Xia Mu, and he traveled to this immortal world a month ago.

When he learned that he had become a mouse, he really wanted to kill him.

The world of immortal cultivation is full of cruelty and danger. It is not easy to be a human being, but it is even more difficult to be a rat.

Fortunately, he obtained the necessary system for time travelers, which gave him a little comfort.

The first task assigned to him by the system was to absorb the first breath of death.

He went to the kitchen to steal food as usual every day, and was scolded and beaten, but over time, he got used to it.

I accidentally heard from the servant that an immortal master visited and sent a foundation-building pill.

This made Xia Mu ecstatic. He had been waiting for more than a month and finally waited for the opportunity.

He knew that Ma Yuanwai was weak and had already exhausted his body due to a serious illness and day and night. He tried his best to ask for the Foundation Building Pill just to live happily for a few years.

But in the end, Xia Mu was cheap, and Ma Yuanwai was angry to death on the spot.

Although Xia Mu felt guilty, he was just a mouse crossing the street and could not compensate for anything. He only hoped that he would repay the descendants of the Ma family with his abilities in the future.

He originally wanted to wait until dark and get close to the coffin to suck his breath.

But the Ma family also tried everything to capture him, and placed poison traps and even placed black cats, making him dare not get close.

Moreover, the lid of the coffin was also buckled. With Xia Mu's current small body, he could not lift it at all. When he met the old black cat, he could only escape.

Forced to do so, he had to take the risk and start today's funeral.

At this moment, Xia Mu took advantage of the condolences and mourning of the guests, relatives and friends around him, and was very agile to move around and move under the feet of everyone. However, the coffin was placed on a temporary platform. Even if he could climb onto the platform, he would not be able to enter the coffin smoothly.

Xia Mu stared at a pair of black rat eyes, observed the surrounding terrain, and jumped onto the wreath next to the coffin.

The entire mourning hall was already in chaos, and with the sound of conversation and howling, no one noticed Xia Mu who had climbed to the top of the wreath.

Standing at this height, he could clearly see Ma Yuanwai wearing a gray and black shroud.

His face was pale, and the wrinkles on his old face were covered by a layer of white powder, which looked very strange.

Today is the seventh day of his death. According to local customs, after the mourning is over, the Ma family will arrange a burial.

Therefore, there is not much time left for Xia Mu.

While no one was paying attention, Xia Mu jumped and jumped to Ma Yuanwai, his gray hair just happened to be covered by the color of the mourning clothes.

Seeing that no one noticed it, Xia Mu quickly ran to Ma Yuanwai's mouth.

Although a person dies like a lamp extinguishes, for animals, dead energy can be used for cultivation, especially dead bodies that are still in the first seven, which have a fatal temptation to any psychic animal.

But some elderly people also understand this principle, so someone guards it at night, or simply closes the lid of the coffin to prevent being approached by animals.

Since he became a mouse, it was the first time Xia Mu had approached humans so close. But as soon as he arrived at Ma Yuanwai's chin, Xia Mu saw wisps of blue smoke surging from his mouth and nose.

Xia Mu sniffed his nose, but felt the strange fragrance was extremely fragrant. The blue smoke rushed straight into his brain, which was more satisfying than a cigarette afterwards.

This made him feel dazed, and his front paws trembled slightly.

But the system prompt sounded again in my mind.

【Successfully inhaling the first breath of death, rewarding the Heavenly Master's Book of Demonics】

But Xia Mu's current state has no time to listen to what the system says.

Suddenly, Mrs. Ma’s concubine Hu, cried and rushed towards the coffin, looking like she was about to die. She happened to see a big gray-haired mouse lying on her husband’s mouth, as if she was swallowing clouds and vomiting mist. She was so scared that she screamed.

The voice resounded throughout the mourning hall and attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone in the mourning hall was startled. The butler Li Gu immediately rushed forward, grabbed Xia Mu in the palm of his hand, and squeezed it hard. Xia Mu, who was still in a state of dizziness, was immediately awakened by pain.

I just feel that my internal organs are about to be crushed.

But Xia Mu couldn't speak at all, and could only make a squeak in pain.

After a suffocation and dizziness, internal organs and blood were overflowing from the mouth and anus. Xia Mu never dreamed that he could not escape death. He stared at the butler with resentment and bit on the back of his hand.

After the housekeeper Li Gu suffered a pain, he threw Xia Mu to the ground with force and crushed him viciously with his feet.

He also cursed: "You damn stinky mouse, you dare to bite my hand, I will step on you to death!"

As expected, Xia Mu died tragically on the spot without even screaming.

Killing him is just a small episode. After all, no one cares about a dead mouse.

The funeral was done as usual, but Ma Yuanwai's burial time was one hour ahead of schedule.

The old man said that the corpse inside the seventh head cannot be approached by animals, otherwise corpses may change.

As for Xia Mu, he had long been thrown into the stinky ditch outside the door mansion by his servants.

Late at night, a big white lantern was hanging outside the Ma Mansion gate, rendering the main door into a snow-white area, which was a bit desolate.

The dark night is bleak in autumn.

Flashes of dust were shattered on the empty streets, and at this time it was clouds covering the moon, making the Ma Mansion particularly groggy.

Xia Mu, who was lying in the stinky ditch, suddenly woke up, and what he exhaled was white air.

Logically speaking, he deserves to die, but he saved his life because he stole the foundation-building pill.

The amount of the Foundation Building Pill is prepared for humans and cannot be completely digested when used on the small mice. The excess medicinal power pulled him back from the gate of hell, which was also considered God's will.

However, although he was still alive, his ribs were broken all over his body, and his internal organs that were about to dry were still condensed in his mouth and anus. It looked really miserable.

After enduring the pain, Xia Mu recalled the housekeeper Li Gu who caused him to die tragically, and the concubine Hu, and the resentment in his heart rose to the extreme.

Perhaps he became a mouse, which made his personality contaminated with animal nature and his personality gradually changed slightly.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered the "Demonic Way" that I received a system reward after sucking that breath of death.

This demonic path covers almost all the methods of monster cultivation. Xia Mu quickly searched and finally found records about rat cultivation.

"If you want to practice this skill, you must seize the skin and refine blood, capture the soul and kill the spirit, and achieve the Heavenly Demonic Way."

These brief general outlines reveal the essence of the practice of demonic Taoism.
