Cheng Tianle, true to his name, is over twenty years old and has accomplished nothing, yet he is always cheerful and carefree. He wandered to Suzhou, living a life of leisure and eating and lodging, but by chance and in a daze, he obtained the inheritance of demon cultivation techniques. When he came to his senses, it was as if he had opened a door to wonder in the world. It turns out that all around us, in our daily lives, on the streets and alleys, there are all sorts of demons. They are no different from ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot tell them apart. For example, your company boss may be some kind of demon in disguise; and the trendy urban woman you meet on the street may be the legendary fox spirit. Having experienced the dangers of the world, he finally understood that the methods of demon cultivation differed from those of humans and could not be practiced arbitrarily. Cheng Tianle also began to ponder why these demons mingled in the human world and lived among us. In fact, from ancient times to the present, there have always been demons and spirits in the human world, and their actions are a result of human behavior—as many kinds of people exist in the world, so too will there be different kinds of beings.

My name is Lin Qi, and I work in the demolition office. At the beginning of this year, I was in charge of the demolition of an old residential area. In the residential complex, there was a resident with a strange sign hanging at the door that read "Qingye Paranormal Investigation Agency." The house had been converted into an office and had been abandoned for a long time, covered in dust. Inside the office's filing cabinets, a large number of documents and materials were neatly arranged. Out of curiosity, I organized the information and discovered a bizarre and terrifying world hidden beneath the surface of reality. The events recorded in the archives gradually began to appear in my life... ☆☆☆☆☆Reader Group: 157446947☆☆☆☆☆

One day, the cycad blossomed, and spring buds sprouted in winter. One year, the river reversed course, and the sky was filled with white crows. In one lifetime, he could not distinguish between good and evil, and his life was fraught with peril. There was a man who, with just this one sentence, became proud and arrogant throughout the world. He said that there are nine heavens and eight wastelands. I want to contend for supremacy in the seven realms and do not seek refuge in the six paths. I have taken people's five grains and I have also roamed the four seas as a chivalrous knight. I have exhausted my love in three lifetimes and been an immortal in two lifetimes. I only wish to speak to the heavens with one word! Hei Xian's new book, "My Left Eye Has a Demonic Aura," has begun serialization. Group: 849306948

The new book, "The Netherworld Painted Skin Scroll," is currently being serialized, and the physical book has already been published under the title "Formless." Perhaps on a cold winter night, you hear someone softly singing outside a wall: A mystical robe, a heart as white as clouds, a zither, a sword, and a painting. Light snow, red stove, yellow bud wine; reading the Ziwei Dongting Classic at night. The lingering sound was like heavenly music. You then followed the sound through the snow and suddenly saw a faint light in the distance. After walking for another quarter of an hour, we entered a bamboo forest, where the view suddenly opened up and a warm feeling washed over us. There we saw a white crane dancing gracefully, and a dragon maiden in red playing the zither and singing in harmony. You were surprised and rubbed your eyes. Looking closer, I realized I was standing outside my own door, with the street desolate and barren. People talk about immortals, but they don't realize that they might be right beside you.

To cultivate heaven's way and comprehend the Dao, one must sever mortal attachments.

Liang Xin was born into a family of criminals and thought he would never have a chance to rise in the world. Unexpectedly, when he was eight years old, the ghost servant who had served the Liang family ancestor came to pledge his loyalty to him... To cultivate the Dao and attain enlightenment, one must sever all worldly emotions. Cultivators have only the Dao in their eyes, are unmoved by external things, and are indifferent to worldly honor and disgrace. The mind of the Tao is not the mind of the human heart. Liang Xin was an exception; he had cultivation, but no Dao heart. He beams with joy when he sees his loved ones enjoying happiness; he feels indignant when he sees his friends angry; and when a beautiful woman passes by, he can't help but take a deep sniff of the fragrant breeze that drifts by... Because of this mortal heart, Liang Xin is a human being, and the world is his happy home. If he had to choose between 'immortal' and 'human', he would decide without hesitation: Move the mountain!
