Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 190 The Lower Corpse God is Abnormally Strong

The two of them waited upstairs for two full hours before they saw Chen Baxian push open the door and walk out with a tired look on his face.

"Hey, you all came out?" Chen Baxian saw the two of them and said with a weak face, "Help me up."

Ren Yuan reached out to support him. "How did it become like this?"

"I almost died. Who told me there was no danger?" Chen Baxian cursed, "Get out first, leave this damn place first."

"Okay." Ren Yuan nodded and helped Chen Baxian downstairs.

"Take your things and go out." The hunchbacked old man had already prepared equipment for the three people.

Each person wore armor, held a gauntlet shield, and had two swords, one long and one short.

Although they are standard equipment uniformly distributed to ghostwriters, they are all magic weapons.

The first two items are used for defense, and the hand shield is exactly the same as his Qingming hand shield.

The last two items are weapons. The long sword is a ceremonial sword bestowed by the emperor. It is longer than the evil-killing blade and of similar quality. It can be used to deal with cavalry and enemies with long weapons.

The other knife is a short weapon, shaped like a sickle, with blades on both sides, which can be used for slashing and stabbing. It is very suitable for use in narrow spaces and close combat, and is extremely lethal. Like the evil-killing blade, it contains the power to destroy all evil.

The three men picked up their equipment, and before they had time to say thank you, they saw the door creak open.

They understood what the other person meant, bowed deeply, and quickly left the Xuanji Tower.

~~
Outside the Xuanji Tower, Yang Zhong was waiting silently.

Seeing the three people coming out, he hurried forward to greet them. "Come out?"

"Well, Brother Yang, you must be getting impatient, right?" Ren Yuan nodded.

"No rush, this time is just right." Yang Zhong greeted the gatekeeper and led the three of them out of Xuanji Tower.

When they reached a deserted place, he looked at Ren Yuan and A Yao and asked, "Why are you two acting like nothing happened?"

"My senior sister didn't react at all when she went in." Ren Yuan said.

"Is that so?" Yang Zhong felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable. After all, A Yao had a special physique, so he asked Ren Yuan, "What about you?"

"You and Brother Chen are brothers who have been separated for many years." Ren Yuan said seriously.

A Yao looked at Ren Yuan strangely, wondering why he was talking nonsense.

But the more surprising thing was yet to come. Chen Baxian and Yang Zhong, two guys who always disliked each other, actually held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes, calling each other affectionately:

"Big brother!"

"Second brother!"

As they spoke, the two of them hugged each other tightly, crying and weeping:

"I've been looking for you so hard!"

"Wow, where have you been all these years, brother?"

"..." A Yao's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

It took a while for Yang Zhong to come back to his senses and he looked at Chen Baxian suspiciously.

"Who is your brother?"

"Brother, have you lost your mind? You don't even recognize me? When we were little..." Chen Baxian came back to his senses and slapped his forehead, saying, "Oh my god, what nonsense am I talking about?"

After that, they both turned to Ren Yuan and asked in unison: "Is this your magical power?"

"Yes." Ren Yuan nodded and said, "I call it 'All's fair in war.'" "Then you shouldn't play tricks on your brother!" Chen Baxian reached out to grab Ren Yuan's shoulder, but grabbed a tree.

He then let go of his hand, only to see that the tree had turned into another Chen Baxian.

Looking at another identical self, Chen Baxian exclaimed: "Your magical power is truly amazing."

"It looks like the fifth owner is the same." Yang Zhong asked: "What is your natal deity?"

"It seems to be Yinglong." Ren Yuan said uncertainly.

"That's not quite the same as the owner of the building," Yang Zhong said, "The owner's natal deity is '蜃', a genus of dragon, shaped like a snake but larger, with dragon-like horns, a red mane, and scales all over its body from the waist down."

"That seems to be different." Ren Yuan nodded.

"Many natal gods have similar magical powers." Yang Zhong shook his head and said, "Different natal gods may have the same method."

He then used himself as an example, "For example, my natal deity is 'Xuanwu', and there are other people in our company whose natal deities are 'Baxia' and 'Yuqiang', but like me, they are all specialized in defense."

"I see." Ren Yuan nodded, looked at Chen Baxian and said, "You haven't told me yet, why did you stay in there for so long?"

"Oh, don't mention it..." Chen Baxian sighed and began to tell his own experience.

He also saw the sky full of stars first, and when he got closer, he found that they were countless demons. The difference was that the one rushing towards him was a god with a red body, a golden crown on his head, two fire snakes piercing his ears, and a ball of fire in his hand.

After the god entered his inner world, the three corpses and nine insects rushed up and engaged in a fierce battle with it...

"The fire god was extremely fierce, and the bugs were even more outrageous. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't kill them. They kept hitting me inside, causing me to feel pain and heat." Chen Baxian narrated with a look of fear on his face, "It was like the left side of my body was constantly being burned by a branding iron, and the right side of my body was constantly being bitten by poisonous snakes. I rolled on the ground in pain, crying for my parents."

"Fortunately, they decided the winner before I could no longer hold on, and the Fire God was eaten by a monster with a bull's head and two legs inside my body." He pulled open his collar and showed the red Fire God mark on his chest, "Then I got this mark on my body."

Then he said with some anxiety: "The monster with a bull's head and two legs in my body is already a circle larger than the others, and now it is even more abnormally large. I don't know what the consequences will be."

"That monster is called Peng Jiao. He is a corpse god and he is very beautiful." Ren Yuan sighed.

"It seems that the price you pay is to aggravate your original problem." Yang Zhong also sighed and said, "You are going to become a sex-hungry ghost."

"No, I still have ten months before I can get close to women!" Chen Baxian cried out miserably.

"Don't get excited. The problem is not serious at the beginning. It will become more and more serious as your magical powers become stronger and stronger." Yang Zhong looked at him with disdain and asked Ren Yuan, "What is your price?"

"I don't know." Ren Yuan spread his hands. No one except the people in his sect knew about the Shangqing Jade Talisman, so he couldn't say it clearly.

"There will definitely be a price to pay. It won't be obvious at first, but you'll slowly discover it later." Yang Zhong said with the air of an experienced person.

"Yeah." Ren Yuan nodded. "I'm mentally prepared."

"Why don't you ask me what my magical powers are?" Chen Baxian said as if he was presenting a treasure.

"Do I need to ask? It must be playing with fire." Yang Zhong said sourly: "Although our company has many magical powers, there are not many pure attack ones. You are really lucky."

"Really?" Chen Baxian was immediately elated. As soon as he thought about it, a ball of blazing flame rose from his hand.

Then he waved his hand, and the flame turned into a fireball and shot towards an old pine tree beside the road.

With a loud bang, the fireball exploded, and the old pine tree was blown into pieces. Flames splashed everywhere, and ignited the grass on the ground.

"Will you die if you don't show off?!" Yang Zhong cursed while quickly conjuring up a stone wall and slamming it on the fire.

Then someone shouted angrily in the distance: "Who dares to act rashly in our company?"

"Hurry up and leave. If we get caught, our merits will be deducted." Yang Zhong quickly took the three of them and ran away.
