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

In ghost stories.

The strange expressions on everyone's faces suddenly vanished.

Soul-Locking Nails!

How did she know?!

Normally, people in the Xuanmen sect cannot observe the faces of the dead, let alone the strange beings that have been dead for a long time.

In the ghost stories, Pei Xi appeared completely unharmed, except for the sealing runes.

How did she figure that out?!

Even the wielder was stunned for a long time.

But Shen Xingzhuo seemed oblivious to everything and reached out to pat Pei Xi's head.

A burst of golden light shone from her hand.

Under the golden light, strands of Pei Xi's hair fell out one by one, only to be reborn one by one.

Her long, black hair cascaded over the child's shoulders.

Pei Xi felt a lump in her throat and threw herself into Shen Xingzhuo's arms, bursting into tears.

This scene was incredibly bizarre, whether viewed by humans or by the eyes of the supernatural.

【(⊙o⊙)…I've never seen anything like this before!】

This is the first time I've ever seen something bizarre crying in the arms of the Chosen One.

[I have to say, Sister Shen is incredibly gentle!]

Could that golden light be Shen Jie's own merit? Did she just give it away like that? What's so special about Pei Xi?

[This... perhaps it's maternal love.]

One comment in the live chat perfectly captured Shen Xingzhuo's feelings.

The ghost story "Guanyin Brocade" is an SS-level ghost story formed by combining three ghost stories.

However, it is not difficult to see that the fact that this story is integrated so logically indicates that the original three ghost stories are all related to each other.

In addition, Pei Jinxiu mentioned that there had been previous instances of chosen ones.

This is the first SS-rank mystery in history, so the previous chosen ones could only have entered the three merged mystery stories.

But regardless of which one it is, these three ghost stories have been repeated countless times.

The protagonist of "One Pregnancy, Nine Babies" is Pei Yin.

From Pei Xi's perspective, she is constantly reliving the tragedy of her past life, yet she is never able to see the mother she truly wants to protect.

Thinking of this, Shen Xingzhuo felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

Perhaps it was because Pei Xi was the child she had "conceived and given birth to" that she softened her heart a little, which was rare for her.

For the Soul-Suppressing Nails to be effective, they must be driven into several major acupoints on the top of the skull while the person is still alive, and then many evil objects must be used to seal the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose of the person being sealed.

After such an ordeal, even the most beautiful person's skin will be riddled with holes and completely disfigured.

Shen Xingzhuo thought that Pei Xi had suffered enough in her life, and she should at least have a complete body after death.

She wouldn't presume that this would soothe the pain in Pei Xi's heart, but...

Thinking of this, Shen Xingzhuo sighed helplessly.

"Though it's better than nothing, your mother hopes for your next... and hopes you will be safe and well."

But before she could finish speaking, Shen Xingzhuo suddenly changed her mind.

Pei Xi was transformed into a monster and reincarnated countless times.

She cannot be reincarnated.

She will not have an afterlife.

"Thanks."

Pei Xi left Shen Xingzhuo's embrace, stared intently into her eyes, and took a step back. Then, she clasped her hands together and knelt down.

Pei Xi bowed his head and kowtowed three times in a devout manner.

"Mother, I am content with my life."

Pei Xi's voice was soft, yet it reached Shen Xingzhuo's ears with perfect clarity.

Shen Xingzhuo smiled.

At that moment, something unusual happened inside her Qiankun bag.

A hint of doubt flashed in Shen Xingzhuo's eyes. Just as she was about to investigate, the urging voice of the strange tale rang in her ears again.

What a beautiful scene of maternal love and filial piety!

[But unfortunately, Shen Xingzhuo, you have violated the rule in supernatural tales that you cannot perform rituals to release the spirits of the supernatural!]
