The tall, skinny man shoved aside someone kneeling on the central prayer mat and dropped to his knees in front of the Bat God statue. He was dressed in a black hemp robe, with a large dark-red stain on its hem. From his waist, he pulled out a bundle of thick red incense, each stick as wide as an arm. The incense had an unusual sheen and was a brighter red compared to ordinary incense. Clutching the bundle in both hands, the man bent down and lit the incense using the oil lamp placed beneath the…-

It’s not uncommon for spirits and creatures of the wild to establish temples and receive offerings of incense from humans. In Gu Ning’an’s view, as long as such wild deities genuinely perform good deeds for people, it’s only fair for them to be worshipped and offered incense. Of course, in the eyes of orthodox deities, these illicit shrines and cult worship practices are absolutely intolerable. This isn’t merely because wild deities compete for incense offerings, but also because they often…

"Alright, that's it for today's lesson on the Book of Songs. Are you hungry? I'll go cook some noodles for you," said Li Fangchang, rising from his desk. At that moment, Tang Zi, Wang Sheng, and Sun De all stood up, approached him, and said in unison, "Teacher, you sit down—we’re going to teach you today!" Hearing this, Li Fangchang smiled. "Oh? You three little ones are going to teach me?" "Did the sun rise in the west today?" Tang Zi tugged at Li Fangchang’s sleeve and grinned. "Teacher Li,…

Li Fangzhang ran out the door and searched everywhere for a long time, but he couldn’t find any trace of Gu Ning’an. The villagers gathered outside, those who could still speak, mentioned seeing a man in a green robe leaving with a Daoist. But even after running far in the direction they pointed, Li Fangzhang still couldn’t find Gu Ning’an. When he returned to the Lu family’s wooden house, a group of villagers who enjoyed gossiping was still gathered out front. Earlier, when Li…

With less than fifteen minutes until midnight, the designated time to enter the ancient princess’s tomb was drawing near. Ren Ye stood in his room, mentally going through the items he needed to bring. The first item was a letter he had brought in from outside. It had been found during the raid at the apartment building. At the time, the vigil keepers from the Qingfu District had surrounded and attacked Mr. He, and in the chaos, this letter had fallen from him. Ren Ye had been too busy to examine…-

Inside the sleeping quarters. Ren Ye, dressed in a crimson robe, had his hands tucked into his sleeves as he paced back and forth in the hall, deeply engrossed in thought. He was reflecting, recalling the various actions of Chief Historian Li Yan. First, in the first act, right after Ren Ye entered the Star Gate, Li Yan brought a group of officials to force his hand. His stance was extremely aggressive, leaving no room for negotiation with Prince Huai. At the time, his attitude seemed to say,…

The group of gossiping women all looked terrified, glancing at one another. They desperately tried to make a sound, but couldn’t even manage the faintest “mm-mm” noise. The "three little quails" stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Wang Sheng couldn’t help but exclaim, “Good heavens, they really can’t talk anymore!” “Confucius said, ‘The way of Heaven has its cycles; none can escape retribution,’” Sun De quipped with a grin. “That’s enough. Follow me inside,” Gu Ning’an said,…

Everyone followed the direction pointed out by the young Daoist and couldn’t help but look a bit puzzled. “Master Daoist, is there an evil spirit hiding in this teapot?” the honest man asked, disbelief evident in his tone. “What teapot? I was talking about...” The young Daoist turned around and froze in place. He hurriedly leaned over the wooden table, searching frantically while muttering in a panicked voice, “Where is it? Where’s the thing?!” The honest man asked, “May I…

After the man left, the thatched cottage returned to silence. Li Yan stood with his hands behind his back, gazing deeply at the bright moon outside the window. A trace of regret lingered in his heart. Tonight, after Xing Tao and Guo Cai'er stirred up trouble, Li Yan had originally planned to use the mystical abilities of the Ink World to verify the identities of the other players one by one. But unexpectedly… the first player he encountered was Tang Feng. And Tang Feng, being rather audacious,…

At the Qingzhou Guard's Left Thousand-Household mansion. Guo Cai'er lightly waved her hand toward Xing Tao and wrote on a piece of paper: "After you left, Prince Huai's guard, Second Fool, attacked me. I used a life-saving technique, but still got injured." After finishing, she gently removed her clothing to reveal her pale left shoulder. A horrifying blade wound appeared, deep enough to see the bone, still bleeding profusely. However, this was not caused by Inviting Moon’s blade, but by the…
