Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

After Shen Xingzhu finished speaking, he ignored Madam Pei's reaction and walked towards the main hall.

When the incense burner overturned last time, incomplete ancestral hall rules were discovered.

At the time, the imperfection was harmless, but now Shen Xingzhuo thinks, "The real rules should be complete now."

When the real rules emerge, this SS-rank mystery will come to a complete end.

As they walked, Shen Xingzhuo noticed something amiss.

Even though it was only a few steps from the side hall to the main hall, she remained at the hall entrance without taking a single step forward.

"This road is too long," Madam Pei's voice sounded softly behind her.

Shen Xingzhuo suddenly smiled, his hand already gripping the long sword.

The next second, the doorway stretched out infinitely, and the entire space suddenly turned pitch black, leaving only a single point of light in the far distance, symbolizing the exit.

Shen Xingzhuo immediately grabbed Madam Pei's wrist with his free hand and started running wildly down the corridor with her.

But they hadn't run far when a gust of wind appeared on the other side.

Shen Xingzhuo's steps became difficult.

Madam Pei kept repeating the phrase "This road is too long" in her ears.

She was so tired of hearing it that a feeling of extreme annoyance welled up inside her.

Under Liu Jin's control, Madam Pei had long since lost the ability to resist.

Even when others intentionally tried to help her, she would ficklely change her stance.

Even though Shen Xingzhuo had already found a way to extract the bizarre part of her body and send it to the underworld.

She never stood firm in her own ideas, and just kept saying discouraging things.

The gale-force winds on the other side were getting stronger and stronger.

The volume in my ears grew louder and louder.

"Shut up!"

Shen Xingzhu shouted angrily, startling Madam Pei so much that she trembled and her vision blurred, making it impossible for her to see anything clearly.

All that remained was a terrifying face.

In the hallucination, Liu Jin constantly beat and verbally abused her, slapping her hard across the face.

Madam Pei's head suddenly tilted to one side, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"You're nothing but a parasite that lives off me!"

"A woman like you, old and faded, would only be fit for menial jobs like cleaning chamber pots in a brothel!"

"You want to leave me? What kind of good life will you have after you leave me?!"

Words echoed through the dark corridor.

A sudden downpour began where the roof was.

Shen Xingzhuo and Madam Pei's clothes were soaked.

As the chill seeped into the bones, many floating "words" appeared in the air, flickering on and off.

"It's raining indoors... but it's perfectly fine outside."

Shen Xingzhu chuckled and tightened his grip on Madam Pei.

Although she was annoyed, she never really thought of giving up on "saving" her.

As she walked, her gaze remained fixed on the half-character floating in the air.

Not only that, she also noticed that these half-words were even mirror images.

However, this was not a difficult task for Shen Xingzhuo.

When she was a child, she had already mastered the art of engraving seal script.

However, the words in the air are so densely packed that it will take some time to arrange and combine them.

However, Madam Pei's condition was not very optimistic.

……

[Sigh... It's a pity we used up both of our communication opportunities, otherwise, with so many of us taking notes, it could have helped Sister Shen a lot.]

[Mother, ⺧, Dragon, Woman, Woman, 辶, Child, Heart, 犭, 阝, Horse, Insect, 氵, Woman, 礻, 阝, Bow... That's all I can remember.]

But I don't understand what this means at all!

The comments section was filled with frustration.

Because in the interstellar era, the universal script used by everyone is astronomical symbols.

In order to enable citizens to explore new lands without barriers, school education naturally uses astronomical symbols as the main language.

The original writing systems of many countries are gradually being forgotten in the long river of memory.

The Tianxia Kingdom places the greatest emphasis on teaching ancient scripts in the entire intergalactic world.

Despite this, many people are still quite unfamiliar with Chinese characters.

They can only read but not write, let alone recognize the characters after they've been broken down.

……

In ghost stories.

Shen Xingzhuo's gaze swept over the characters inch by inch.

After she had taken in everything, she slowly closed her eyes and recreated it all in her mind.

But just as she was lightly immersed in permutations and combinations...

Madam Pei's scream pulled her back from her inner vision to the strange tale!
