Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 28 Yujing Mountain

The layout of the Liu Family Courtyard is similar to that of the Xie Family Village. Both have a special warehouse yard with a treasury and a granary.

Young Master Liu brought Ren Yuan and the other two to the only treasury door, took a deep breath and said, "Open the door."

The servant guarding outside the door slowly opened the heavy door, and a strong smell of copper fumes hit him in the face.

Ren Yuan looked inside and saw a skinny and crazy old man lying on a hill of gold, silver and copper coins.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man jumped up, holding a loaded crossbow in his hand, aiming at the door, and said mysteriously: "Stop, whoever dares to enter my treasury will be killed without mercy!"

"This is all my money. You can't touch a penny! Unless I die..."

"No, I can't do that even if I die. Even if I become a ghost, I still want to protect my money!"

Young Master Liu gave Ren Yuan an awkward smile, meaning, I didn't lie to you, did I?
Ren Yuan walked straight in.

"Don't!" Young Master Liu exclaimed, but it was too late. His father had already pulled the trigger without hesitation.

A crossbow arrow whizzed towards Ren Yuan!

As Young Master Liu exclaimed, Ren Yuan's boy raised his fair left hand and grabbed the arrow out of thin air! Then he cast a spell with his right hand, immobilizing Master Liu.

"Awesome..." Young Master Liu was completely convinced. He thought if the little servant was so powerful, then Young Master Xie must be even more powerful!
I couldn't help but feel hopeful and asked, "Can the Second Young Master cure my father?"

"Yes." Ren Yuanyun nodded calmly and said, "You guys step aside for a moment."

"Okay." Young Master Liu quickly asked someone to close the door.

~~
When no one else was around, Ren Yuan looked at his senior sister angrily and asked, "Did you do this on purpose?"

He just followed A Yao's instructions and walked in, thinking that she would freeze him first, but unexpectedly, Master Liu still shot that arrow...

"How can you show how powerful you are if you don't do this?" said the senior sister with a smile.

"You are just taking revenge on me by saying that you had an accident." Ren Yuancai didn't believe her lies.

"Don't worry, he is just an ordinary person who only took the elixir but didn't practice." Ah Yao smiled and moved his fingers quickly, drawing a five ghosts moving talisman to move the rich man Liu down from the mountain of money, saying: "Even if I don't take action, he can't hurt you."

This was true. With Ren Yuan's current skills, dodging the arrow was no problem, but he would be in a more awkward position. So he didn't take it seriously. He complained to his cheating sister and turned his attention back to Mr. Liu, asking, "What happened to him?"

"It should be the corpse worms in his body that are causing trouble." The sister replied, "The human body has three palaces and nine orifices, and there are also three corpses and nine worms living in them. The one living in the orifice of the mind is a python, commonly known as a stingy worm. It looks like a snake body and a horse head. It makes people stingy and unwilling to spend a penny."

"Oh my god..." Ren Yuan couldn't help but swear when he heard that. "Could it be that I also have this thing in my body?"

"Of course, everyone has them. If you kill the three corpses and nine worms, you can become a god right away." The senior sister nodded and said, "But the corpse worms of a normal person won't be strong enough to leave the body, unless..."

"Unless you take an external elixir." She paused for a moment and whispered, "For example, the Tianmu ointment, while opening up the mind, will also make the stingy bugs grow stronger. Perhaps this is the price of going against the will of heaven."

"Will all practitioners turn into monsters in the end?" Ren Yuan took a breath of cold air. What kind of dark myth of the Southern Dynasty is this?

"That won't happen." Senior Sister shook her head and said, "Normally, when a person with supernatural powers takes external pills, they will also practice various skills to strengthen themselves, which can usually suppress the evil spirits."

As she spoke, she looked at the half-human, half-ghost Master Liu and said, "He only takes pills and doesn't practice cultivation, so of course he can't stop the stingy bug from causing trouble."

"I see." Ren Yuan nodded and got back to the point, "Then how do we get rid of this stingy old man?"

"The three corpses and nine worms exist in the body. Outsiders cannot see them, nor can they harm them." Senior Sister said, "But there is a way to deal with them, which is to ask the gods in his body to take action." "Oh my god..." Ren Yuan couldn't help but swear again. "Are there so many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the human body?"

"Amazing, isn't it? Come, let me take you to broaden your horizons." A Yao was very happy to see him so shocked, so she released the red leopard, and then took out a green incense stick like a magic trick, asked Ren Yuan to light it, and enter into meditation with her.

As the senior sister opened her red lips and chanted the spell, the curling green smoke from the incense stick seemed to come to life, turning into a trickle and slowly flowing into Mr. Liu's nostrils.

The green smoke is continuous, like a passage like smoke and clouds.

Ren Yuan was in a state of meditation, and he "saw" his sister stand up, hold his hand, and jump onto the misty road.

Their 'bodies' became lighter than feathers. With a little effort, they were able to move quickly along the misty road without touching the ground. They disappeared without a trace in a moment.

In the storeroom, the smoke of cigarettes curled up, and the two men's bodies remained in the state of cross-legged meditation. Chi Bao stood guard beside them with a vigilant look on his face.

~~
Ren Yuan followed his senior sister through the layers of clouds and mist for an unknown period of time before his vision suddenly became clear.

Then, a fairy mountain surrounded by mist and lush greenery appeared before his eyes.

The senior sister took him straight to the top of the mountain and landed outside the gate of a magnificent palace.

As soon as the two landed, they startled the little boy guarding outside the palace gate, who shouted, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Seven Treasures Mountain in Yujing!"

"Hurry up and report to Bajing, and tell them that the person who can help them treat the python has arrived." I don't know when the senior sister changed into a colorful dress, her hair was combed into a flying fairy bun, and she wore a golden and jade hairpin, and cassia twigs, looking graceful and elegant, as if a fairy returned to heaven.

The boy did not dare to neglect the words and hurried in to report. Soon, eight gods and men, dressed in different clothes but all with luxurious looks and dignified appearances, came out to greet him.

The leading god was dressed in white and had a white hat. He had a clear and elegant appearance. He bowed to his senior sister and said, "My humble god Jue Yuanzi, courtesy name Daodu, is sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope you will forgive me. Please come into my Yujing Palace to serve tea."

Senior sister Fu Yifu, with a dignified manner, returned the greeting and said, "It is better to obey than to be respectful."

After saying that, he followed the other party in, and Ren Yuan consciously acted as his senior sister's follower.

~~
The host and the guests sat down in a magnificent palace, and after being served tea, they introduced themselves to each other.

Ren Yuancai then realized that the other party was the upper eight gods in the human body. For example, the leader, Jueyuanzi, was the god of wisdom who was in charge of human intelligence.

The other seven gods also have their own names and duties. For example, the god of hair is called Xuanfu Hua; the god of eyes is called Lingjiansheng; the god of nose is called Zhonglongyu; the god of tongue is called Shiliangzhi...

The senior sister told Bajing about Mr. Liu's symptoms and said, "We guess that he is suffering from the miser bug, so we came to ask you for confirmation."

"That's right." Jueyuanzi sighed, "Recently, the python has suddenly become very powerful, and its strength is far greater than before. We have also suffered greatly from it."

"I'm just a stingy guy, so I shouldn't cause you so much headache, right?" asked the senior sister.

"Of course." Yi Lifu, the 'God of Bravery', was a hot-tempered man with a red face. Hearing this, he said angrily, "I can deal with a mere stingy bug by myself, but we have eight scenes, and they are not bachelors!"

"Yes, there is one corpse and three worms in the upper corpse world. The three worms are easy to deal with, but the key is their backer, the upper corpse god Peng Ju, who is too difficult to deal with." Tong Zhongzhong, the 'skin god', also complained:

"It's just that the owner of this world is too greedy for money, so Peng Ju is so powerful that we are no match for him."

P.S. I just found out today that the new book recommendation PK now only looks at effective follow-up reading. That is, accounts with recharge or consumption records in the past three months on Qidian.com, and those who follow the latest chapters of your book are considered effective follow-up readers.

So I'm asking, if you haven't topped up or spent anything in the past three months, can you top up one yuan? Thank you.
