Records of Mysterious Things in the Southern Dynasties

Chapter 13 Never Forgive!

As the night approached midnight, all the lanterns in Xiejiazhuang had been changed to white, and soul-guiding flags were erected.

When the evening breeze blew, the banners fluttered, the lights flickered, and the intermittent crying sounds from the front yard made the place seem eerie.

The inner courtyard was dead silent.

Xie Zhi was staring at the mirror. He knew that the funeral outside was for him, but he just felt it was noisy.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he felt reluctant. Although he would continue to live with another identity, this face that had accompanied him for eighteen years would disappear forever after midnight.

However, a heart-wrenching cough brought him back from his unrealistic sadness to the cruel reality.

When the coughing fit was over, Xie Zhi did not dare to delay any longer and quickly took Wu Shi San with hot wine. He then took off his outer clothes and skirts, and lay down on a bed in his thin silk clothes.

It was a little chilly at night, but his body was getting hotter and hotter, and his consciousness was getting more and more blurred...

There was a person lying quietly on another bed in the room. It was Ren Yuan, who had been refreshed from head to toe.

When the clepsydra scale reached midnight, the door curtain was lifted, and an old lady with silver hair came out from the inner room carrying a birdcage.

She hung the birdcage in its old place and looked back at the two people lying on the bed.

The old lady first walked to Ren Yuan and checked the yellow warrant inserted on his head. Then she walked to Xie Zhi and took out her hairpin. Her silver hair kept growing longer and swam in the air like a group of snakes.

By this time, the drug had taken effect on Xie Zhi, and he felt as if he had entered a paradise without pain or worries.

The old lady's long silver hair pierced his scalp and began to drain his soul.

A person has three souls and seven spirits. The three souls are Tai Guang, Shuang Ling and You Jing, which are yang and can easily rise and leave the human body. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "scaring away the soul".

The seven souls are Corpse Dog, Hidden Arrow, Sparrow Yin, Swallow Thief, Non-Poison, Remove Filth, and Stinky Lung. They are yin in nature, turbid and heavy, and constitute the sensory form of human beings. They are inseparable from the body, and will not leave even after death. They will only slowly dissipate as the body decays.

So before Xie Zhi even felt anything, the old lady extracted his three souls.

But when he extracted the first soul, 'Corpse Dog', his expression instantly became hideous and distorted, and he let out a howl that was not like a human voice!
The pain of having the spirit forcibly pulled out of the body is something that no mortal can endure.

Xie Zhi's howling penetrated through the layers of walls and even reached the front yard...

The people who were crying in the front yard looked at each other in confusion when they heard the sound, not knowing what had happened in the inner yard.

"It's my second brother who is crying. He has the deepest feelings for the eldest brother, so naturally he is crying with grief." The third young master hurriedly explained.

Everyone's faces showed realization and they all raised their voices. They couldn't let the Second Young Master suppress them alone.

~~
In the main room of the inner courtyard.

As the old lady extracted Xie Zhi's three souls and seven spirits one by one, the howling stopped abruptly.

He was bleeding from all seven orifices, had stopped breathing, and his body had been completely destroyed by the endless pain.

The old lady wrapped his soul with her long hair and chanted a "Soul Condensing Mantra". Only then did Xie Zhi's three souls and seven spirits gather together again, floating in the air, looming, and waiting impatiently to enter a new body.

This pure soul state is very dangerous and can be destroyed by a gust of wind, so the old lady turned to Ren Yuan without stopping for a moment.

Moreover, Ren Yuan had taken the Enlightenment Pill, so his soul was much more stable than that of an ordinary person. She had to use all her strength to extract his soul.

The old lady walked up to Ren Yuan, knelt down, and her silver hair like snakes snaked towards Ren Yuan's head.

Just as the hair tip was about to touch Ren Yuan's scalp, a shrill cat cry was heard from outside! The cat cry was so penetrating that the old lady froze in fear.

When Ren Yuan, who was in a hypnotic state, heard this sound, he suddenly opened his eyes and mouth, reached out his hand, pulled out the black wooden stick from his throat, and suddenly stabbed it straight into the old lady's chest!

It happened so quickly that before the old lady could react, Ren Yuan stabbed her in the Red Emperor Palace at the Danzhong point!

The Red Emperor Palace in Danzhong is the golden palace below the heart. No matter whether it is a human or a demon, it is the vital point of life and death!
The old lady looked at the inconspicuous stick in disbelief. In fact, if she wanted to dodge just now, she would have been able to dodge it.

But firstly, after making sure that Ren Yuan was controlled by the Soul-Capture Bell, she relaxed her vigilance and focused all her attention on the shape-changing technique; secondly, once this technique was performed, she would suffer severe internal injuries if she tried to stop it forcibly; thirdly, her human form was only an external appearance, and she was still a locust spirit covered in a shell on the inside, and ordinary human weapons could not hurt her at all.

So in the split second, she was careless and did not dodge.

Who would have thought that the invulnerable shell could be as thin as paper and be pierced through by a blunt-headed wooden stick?
Until the extremely positive and yang power coming from the wound instantly paralyzed her whole body, her internal organs were burning, and she collapsed to the ground. The old lady suddenly realized that she had been hit by the Thunderbolt Jujube Wood Sword...

But it was too late. When the lightning-struck Zaomu encountered the evil spirit of Yin, it continuously released powerful pure Yang lightning. The blue sparks made her twitch continuously, and she completely lost control of her body, and could not use any of her abilities.

He couldn't even make a sound to ask for help from the elder brother in the community temple. He could only fall to the ground in his true form with a heart full of resentment.

Ren Yuan was breathing heavily. It was really dangerous just now, but luckily he won the bet!
He rubbed his congested throat, pulled out the sticks on his head, and looked at the old witch warily. Even if she fell to the ground with serious injuries, he didn't dare to get close.

Because it is not difficult to tell from the opponent's double wings, four arms, and red claws like hooks that she must be a melee monster. As long as the opponent has a breath left, she can easily use the cold and shining claws to pull out her intestines and cut off her hands and feet.

Fortunately, the mountain god sister did not lie, and the civet cat did not brag this time. The black little wooden stick really contained the powerful force of thunder, which completely killed Fang Liang.

The lightning-struck jujube wood also released all its energy and turned into a ball of powder...

Ren Yuan then breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at his 'cousin' floating in the air.

Xie Zhi didn't know whether he was unaccustomed to the current state or was shocked by the scene before him. He was still floating in the same place, staring blankly at the monster's corpse that exuded a strong burnt smell.

Feeling Ren Yuan's unfriendly gaze, he suddenly came back to his senses! He wanted to shout a warning, but humans couldn't hear his voice at all. He wanted to hide back in his body, but his body was already dead...

Only then did he suddenly realize that he should run away quickly.

He rushed to the door, but it was slammed open from the outside. A majestic civet cat was squatting on the threshold, making a muffled thundering sound from its throat, with its back arched and its fur standing on end, as if it was about to pounce!

Xie Zhi sensed the danger and quickly turned back to escape in another direction, but was blocked by Ren Yuan!

Ren Yuan had already opened his top orifice and could sense ghosts. He reached out and grabbed his 'cousin' by the neck, mercilessly using the Golden Light Technique to cause the golden vortex in the Creation Furnace to spin rapidly.

A golden glow gradually radiated from his body. The light became brighter and brighter, turning Ren Yuan into a little golden man.

It also made Xie Zhi look like a snowman, and he began to melt visibly...

"Have mercy, brother!" Xie Zhi begged for mercy in horror.

"Have you ever thought about sparing my life?!" Ren Yuan's eyes were cold and hard, and he showed no mercy as he continued to kill Xie Zhi with golden light.

"Spare me, I will be your slave, no, I will be your dog..." Xie Zhi howled like a ghost, looking extremely ugly. Where was the so-called aristocratic demeanor?

"Never forgive!" Ren Yuan shouted angrily, and mobilized the golden light to its strongest level to completely kill Xie Zhi!

With one last unwilling scream, Xie Zhi's soul flew away, his body and spirit disappeared between heaven and earth, leaving no trace at all.
