The ninth day of August, dusk.

Jun YanZhi’s party encounters rainfall on their journey and they seek accommodation in Qing Quan village. In this village there was an old man named Lu YunFei with bushy eyebrows and white hair. He was good-natured and hospitable. Living with him was his only grandson, Lu Jing, and together they relied on each other for survival. Unfortunately, the old man passed away from illness few days ago, leaving the grandson to take care of the house alone. Although young, Lu Jing holds much of his grandfather’s manner, and he welcomes Jun YanZhi's party of travelers to stay the night, treating them with the utmost hospitality.”

—taken from (A Calamity for All Living Things) Chapter 10

At this time, the novel didn't explain the matter of Lu Jing’s possession. These words were merely a foreshadowing. (1) Jun YanZhi's party passed by Qing Quan village and were received as guests by the body stealing Lu YunFei.

At that time, with the large cloudburst, Wen Jing provoked the old ghost, hoping Jun YanZhi’s party would run into Lu YunFei during his possession attempt.

“You are......” The black clothed man slowly spoke: “I am Jun YanZhi.” (2)

He brushed the rain from his body and pulled Wen Jing up from the muddy ground. That distinctly splendid appearance held not a trace of icy chill, but instead gave off a feeling like a tender spring breeze. The words of that man left him feeling relieved and unguarded.

Wen Jing wasn't able to determine his own mood, he only knew he felt a little giddy.

The white clothed man entered, looked at the muddy Wen Jing, and said mildly: “I am Liu QianMo. Along with my two junior brothers, we were passing through this place and were caught in this heavy rain. We were wishing to stay a night with you. He pointed to the stiff corpse on the ground: “Who is this?”

Wen Jing was still blankly staring into the distance, oblivious to the white clothed youth's question.

Gentle nature, exquisite looks, pure and honest, lofty integrity like clear jade ....this was the description from the novel. Was this feeling......

Liu QianMo, never having encountered this sort of reaction, with some embarrassment, chose to turn a blind eye. He coughed, awkwardly saying: “Small brother, this person is......

Wen Jing recovered, stiffly bowing his head to cover it up: “He was my grandfather”

Liu QianMo was silent for a moment, then sighed: “Your grandfather. For a relative to attempt to possess you.....”

The grey clothed youth then said: “To lay his hands on his own grandson, indeed a rare thing, isn’t it.”

Wen Jing differently bowed his head, not saying a word.

Jun YanZhi silently looked at the old man on the ground, saying with a low voice: “It’s already getting late. First, roll him up in a grass mat and we can bury him in the morning”

For the life saving benefactor that he was putting up in his home, Wen Jing pulled out everything edible in the house, ending up with four different dishes and one soup arranged on the table.

When Lu YunFei had been around he'd rarely been able to sleep soundly or for very long. He'd always suffered from anxiety. He was truly thankful now that he had narrowly escaped with his life.

There had only been two people in the family. The dishes were few and furthermore somewhat damaged. He didn't dwell on it overmuch but subconsciously he placed the best looking set of dishes in front of Jun Yanzhi, ladled out his rice, and poured the good tea.
