The bed creaked as Lu Liangsheng propped himself up a bit. “Dad, Uncle Pan, what’s going on?” He straightened the bedding by the side of the bed. The room had no decent furniture, so he made do by letting Lu Laoshi and Lu Pan sit by the bed. Besides Lu Laoshi, Lu Pan seemed uninterested in sitting, casting his eyes around as if searching for where the female ghost was hiding. He stood respectfully by the bed and only responded when addressed. “Liangsheng, we’ve finished taking all the loot…

In a state of hazy consciousness, he felt a deep, aching pain in the recesses of his mind, as if he were being drained. Lu Liangsheng slowly opened his eyes from the darkness, seemingly lying on the donkey’s back. The night wind whispered past his ears, and through his skewed vision, he saw a floating figure beside him. "Nie Honglian?" In the dim forest, the figure was like a delicate mist, gradually taking on a graceful form. She turned her face towards Lu Liangsheng who had woken up, a faint dimple…

The autumn night wind swept across the mountain slopes, the distant mountains only had eerie outlines against the horizon. In the dim forest, the soft rustling of fallen leaves echoed as they stirred. A small mound rapidly moved beneath a thick layer of fallen leaves, racing forward. Behind, the sound of galloping hooves approached swiftly, the rider leaping between two trees, soaring through the air. Mid-flight, the rider drew his blade, his feet pressing down with such force that a nearby large tree…

Lu Liangsheng sat astride the donkey, his entire body trembling slightly. Drop by drop, blood dripped from the tip of his brush onto his swinging robe sleeve, staining it with crimson blossoms. Can't stop yet... ...can't let them notice... These bandits... nearly took Grandpa's life... ... stole our things... The tip of the brush moved delicately across the unfinished painting on the scroll, gradually outlining a thin layer of mist. That touch of green color became even more real, slowly drifting…

“Ghost…Ghost…” The woman’s eyes widened in shock, her teeth chattering as she bit down hard. At the same moment, she let out a piercing scream of “Ah!” a more chilling scream echoed through the village. “Ah—” “Who are you people!” “Bandits are here!” Following the initial shriek, a series of angry shouts and cries spread through the village. In a moment, a thatched house nearby erupted into flames, lighting up the night sky. Villagers rushed out of their homes, only to be…

In the desolate mountains, the night wind whistled through a narrow crevice, blowing towards a mountain stronghold, which was brightly lit. Bonfires dotted the area, their flickering flames casting shadows over the figures of the mountain bandits, their faces twisted with malice and ferocity as they drank and feasted, laughing and cursing. On the spit above the fire, freshly plundered chickens and ducks roasted, their skin turning a tempting golden brown. The enticing smell of fat dripped into the…

Lu Family Village wasn't large, nor did it have many fields. The young man in a scholar's robe was busy setting up a stone formation in a patch of unused land near the riverbank. On the surface of seventy-two stones, characters of talisman scripts were written with the brush and ink. Though his cultivation was shallow, he recovered quickly after a night's rest. Infusing each stone with his meager cultivation power to activate them had left him quite exhausted. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he…

As the sun sets in the west, it dyes the sky with a red glow. Beneath the flying birds, the ground is scattered with dust from withered grass. Amidst the emerging chill of autumn, figures were running or riding horses silently through the desolation. As the wind blew across the fields. From a distance, someone saw these figures and quickly crouched down to hide. They watched as the figures swiftly passed by the west side of the village, then dropped their hoes, and ran towards the village. Upon entering…

The old window frame reflected the shadow of a person lying down, muttering something faintly, then shifting into a different position. Nie Honglian's lips curved into a smile as she brushed the young man's hair. In the past, she was merely an opera singer. No matter how much fame she gained by singing on the stage, she still had the same longings a young girl ought to have in her heart. "I am nothing but an opera singer." She often reminded herself of this. The best possible future for her was to be…

Morning light pierced through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the mountain village. In the small farmhouse courtyard, sunflowers turned toward the sun, and dewdrops dripped from the tips of the leaves. A toad lying on the ground opened its mouth, yawning as a cool drop of water fell into its mouth, which it then swallowed contentedly. A speckled hen scratched at the ground while Lu Xiaoxian carried a bundle of dry grass into the cool shed. Not long after, a scolding voice echoed from the kitchen,…
