An old man with a strange appearance was suspended in the air. One side of his face was blood red and uneven, while the other side looked like a normal person. There was no emotion in his eyes as he stared at the corpse lying on the ground.

........

After rescuing Yao Xiaochen and placing him in a safe place, Tu Yufan went to the library to look up information on ancient Chinese literature, and stayed there for three consecutive days.

"Classmate, were you in this school before? I saw you were always reading in the library."

Tu Yufan looked up and saw a shaggy-haired old man, dressed simply, staring at him calmly.

An ordinary person.

"No, I'm just more interested in the history of Yuemeng Country. I heard that a thousand years ago, Yuemeng Country mysteriously disappeared when its national fortune was at its peak, but I can't understand the relevant text."

The old man showed a look of regret. Before the evil spirit appeared, he was a history teacher at a university and this library originally belonged to the university. Later, the evil spirit appeared and the university gradually became deserted. Especially after several murders caused by the evil spirit, few people came here anymore.

This library was originally a school library, but there are no students there now. He still thought that Tu Yufan was a student of this school.

"Can you tell me the history of Yuemeng Country?"

The old man's eyes lit up and he spoke slowly.

It is said that the king of Yuemeng was very diligent and kind when he was young. He reigned for decades and made the country strong, but in his later years he became addicted to the art of alchemy and died after taking alchemy.

"In his later years, the monarch of Yuemeng dealt with a case of treason. Many innocent people were implicated, and it is said that tens of thousands of people died. It is said that they were buried at the foot of Qianqi Mountain. This is also the point that this benevolent monarch was criticized by his predecessors. After that, the monarch of Yuemeng was still alive and dead. Some people said that they heard him screaming in his bedroom, but when the imperial physician went there, there was no one inside."

"Historical records show that the king may not have died, but left the palace to continue his search for immortality."

Tu Yufan listened carefully to the old man's historical narration. Seeing his serious attitude, the old man became more interested and his voice became louder.

Tu Yufan took the opportunity to ask him about some ancient Chinese texts from Yue Mengguo and how to translate them. The old man found a few books from under his seat.

"There are annotations I wrote on it. The Yuemeng Kingdom disappeared overnight. The Royal Library, which had the largest collection of books, was burned down. Many ancient books disappeared in history. These are some of the incomplete materials I have been searching for for many years and put together."

Tu Yufan: "...Thank you"

The old man seemed as if no one had spoken to him for a long time, and he talked incessantly.

It was not until night fell that the old man reluctantly said goodbye to Tu Yufan for safety reasons.

At night, Tu Yufan lay in bed, translating what he had read in the Fang family's collection of books before, and vaguely felt that he had read something real.

Some scrolls and notes in the collection show that the king of Yuemeng failed in refining medicine in his later years. Later, he began to build an altar, and each time he offered sacrifices, he would sacrifice thousands of people, and he offered sacrifices many times.

Tu Yufan said, "It is written in the ancient books of the Fang family that in the early days of the reign of the King of Yuemeng, some people became extremely powerful, some could breathe fire, and some could even cause lightning to fall with a wave of their hands. This should be the advancement of this world and the beginning of the revival of spiritual energy."

"The tens of thousands of people implicated in treason mentioned by the old man in Tian were probably all sacrificed. And there were far more than that. There were also criminals on death row. They were all thrown into the altar. The last sacrifice yielded a wooden box. After just a few years, evil spirits began to appear, and the entire Yuemeng Kingdom completely disappeared in the resistance against them."

Space-Time Mirror: "This king sacrificed so many people, but what did he gain?"

"Didn't you say that evil spirits come from the land of nothingness and generally have difficulty contacting living planes? You said that the evil spirits' entry into this world is related to sacrifices, and it is very likely that the things they obtained are related to evil spirits."

The Space-Time Mirror exclaimed, "So this world originally had a chance to advance, but the king of Moon Dream Country opened the passage for evil spirits to enter the world in order to seek immortality, which ultimately led to the failure of the world's advancement. Now it is on the brink of destruction?"
