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

As Pei Xi spoke, her little nose twitched slightly.

She waved her hand in front of her nose, adding with an exaggerated expression, "That thing stinks! I..."

She recalled, "Even though I was already standing against the wind, I could still smell that odor."

"It smells terrible."

Shen Xingzhu raised an eyebrow and softly repeated the information that Pei Xi had repeatedly emphasized.

She vaguely remembered seeing something similar.

When her master was still alive, she went with him to clean up a crime scene.

At that time, a family experienced a series of deaths.

According to the official investigation, this family has always been kind and benevolent, and they have no enemies in the surrounding area.

At the same time, they also deeply understand the principle of not flaunting wealth.

This family business mainly deals in cross-border trade. After each large deal is closed, they even set aside 1% for charitable donations.

They lit up streetlights for many children in mountainous areas.

But this kind and virtuous family was nearly wiped out within a month.

The authorities had exhausted all available information, so they had to look for his master, who was then a Taoist master.

In the end, it turned out that her master had instructed her to dig out a jar under the threshold of that family's house.

The contents of that jar were a dark, oil-like liquid.

That was the first time Shen Xingzhuo had ever seen the real "Impure Earth".

Shen Xingzhuo's eyes flickered.

"That's filth," she said, suppressing her nausea and anger.

"What?" Pei Jinyu asked, puzzled.

"The filthy soil... is made from a mixture of corpse oil, grave soil, and the fingernails of a vengeful spirit. Buried under the foundation, it can cause that family to be wiped out of line."

Shen Xingzhuo's gaze darkened.

"But if this thing is thrown under the foundation of a family, besides ruining their descendants, it will gradually erode the family's ancestral foundation and merits, ensuring they are never reincarnated!"

She didn't emphasize the last few words, but they struck Pei Jinyu's heart like a heavy hammer blow.

She was the eldest daughter of the Pei family, groomed as their heir, unlike Madam Pei who married into the family halfway through life, and Pei Xi who died shortly after birth.

Her feelings were extremely deep.

"puff--"

Pei Jinyu suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood.

"mother!"

Shen Xingzhuo quickly supported her and gently patted her back to help her catch her breath.

【I'm about to throw up!! How could Liu Jin be so vicious!】

No wonder Pei Jinyu was so angry she almost vomited blood. If I were blinded by love and let my family in, I'd probably be furious too!

But why does Liu Jin possess such immense power? Just from a jar of... Impure Earth?

Although I don't understand, Sister Shen made it sound very serious, so it might really be based on this...

Think about it carefully. Which of the three materials Sister Shen mentioned is easy to obtain? And these three things might be the simplest step in this process.

【Now I understand! I suddenly remembered that there was also a mysterious old Taoist priest in this story?】

[Hmm...yes! So what role does this person play? Ugh, why do I still have this feeling that this ghost story isn't over yet!]

A chorus of groans erupted in the live chat.

Shen Xingzhuo in the ghost story was unaware of this.

She supported Pei Jinyu, her voice long and drawn out: "Mother, if you feel extremely guilty, you should save that for when you're in the ancestral hall!"

"Didn't he defile the Pei family's ancestral land with filth just so he could steal the dragon and switch the phoenix?!"

Shen Xingzhuo's eyes were full of ruthlessness.

"Then we'll make sure he doesn't get his way!"
