Chapter 158

The Earth Official Immortal God is in charge of divine powers.

And what Demon God Zhuyin is in charge of are demon-type statues.

Wu Xian looked at the Guangde Long Wang statue.

After a moment of hesitation, he abandoned the poor old Long Wang again and inserted the only stick of incense into the incense burner in front of the Demon God Zhuyin statue; immediately, three types of demon divine powers appeared.

Demon Divine Power - Hedgehog Fire: A hundred-year-old hedgehog with demon flames in its eyes, its fire glowing brightly.

Demon Divine Power - Monkey Gills: A monster in the water, named water monkey, with gills like a fish.

Demon Divine Power - Tiger Wings: Qiongqi is like a tiger, with two wings on its back, named Tiger Wings.

One of these three demon divine powers can release bright flames from the eyes, one can allow people to swim freely in the water like a water monkey, and the other can grow two wings on the back to fly in the sky.

After the free usage time of the divine powers is over, they all require food to replenish the body's consumption, or one must wait for the body to heal naturally before they can be used again.

It seems that the conditions for reusing demon divine powers are all related to the body itself.

Wu Xian didn't think too much.

He directly chose Hedgehog Fire.

The vigil is in the mourning hall, where space is limited; there is no water to swim in, nor is there a vast sky to let him fly, so it's better to choose Hedgehog Fire; flames should be useful in some way.

Moreover, Hedgehog Fire and Hedgehog Armor both come from hedgehog demons, so they might produce some strange combination effects.

Wu Xian took one last look at the temple tomb.

Then he turned and left the place.

He would not return here again, regardless of whether the next step was a success or a failure.

The sun slanted to the west.

The circular open space became more gloomy and cold day by day.

A group of eight people sat around the firelight, all silent.

Wu Xian flipped through the Juanren register to confirm one last time how much combat power he could exert.

He had four talismans left.

Mutual Injury Technique, Insect Devouring Incantation, Earth Spike Incantation, and Rejuvenation Technique.

The previously obtained "Zhen" character talisman had been completely consumed, the Mutual Injury Technique had only one use left, and the two offensive incantations had one and two uses left, respectively.

There were three divine powers.

Hard Qi Gong, Hedgehog Armor, and Hedgehog Fire.

Among them, Hard Qi Gong had just been exhausted, and it was almost impossible to replenish it with food, so Wu Xian planned to use the "Small Return Pill" to replenish it.

There were also three magical artifacts.

They were the Soul-Pacifying Wooden Fish, the Golden Light Lightning Mirror, and the bronze shield already covered in cracks; looking at the bronze shield, it was estimated that it couldn't be used again after one or two more uses.

In addition to the god-worshipping items, Wu Xian also had a birthday gift, a set of mourning clothes, one skin-shedding ability, one Small Return Pill, and the leech demon's curse; these things were all of Wu Xian's reliance in the mourning hall.

Although the mourning hall might be the most dangerous of the five rooms.

But after the baptism of the first four rooms.

Everyone was already different from before.

Those who would hold them back had already died in the previous rooms, and those remaining were elites who at least had some life-saving skills; they also had the most and strongest god-worshipping items in their hands.

Therefore, Wu Xian felt that the last time shouldn't have any mishaps.

Soon.

The last bit of time in the outside world had also passed.

The group of eight entered the mourning hall tomb, which no one had ever set foot in before, one by one.

Everyone was very careful.

Because they had no information about the mourning hall tomb.

Except for the first time entering a room, they could observe some information from others when entering any room.

But the mourning hall tomb looked very dangerous, so no one had entered it before; therefore, the mourning hall tomb was unknown to everyone.

*Thump, thump... *

Just going down the stairs.

Was already a difficult task for everyone.

These downward stairs were narrow and long, and also had some spirals, so Su Mi's Green Dragon Crescent Blade and Guan Daorong's Zhangba Snake Spear were both stuck in the stairs several times.

Especially Su Mi, who was already somewhat inconvenienced by his armor and was walking at the very front, causing trouble several times.

With this, everyone was somewhat annoyed.

Finally, Su Mi, who was walking at the very front and wearing a full set of black-lacquered water-pattern armor, was the first to see the full picture of the mourning hall.

The mourning hall was large.

But it looked smaller than the banquet hall.

Two large red lanterns were hanging on the ceiling of the mourning hall, and in the center of the lanterns hung two white cloth strips that were almost touching the ground.

A large "Dian" (mourning) character was written on the wall.

Below the "Dian" character was a blood-red coffin, and the coffin lid was open.

An incense burner was placed directly in front of the coffin, with four sticks of incense burning on it; further ahead of the incense burner were eight cushions, which should have been prepared specifically for Wu Xian and the others.

At this time, there were still people in the mourning hall.

They were Liu Baoyu, Butler Hu, and the Liu Mansion servants he brought.

As soon as Liu Baoyu saw Wu Xian and the others appear.

He happily walked toward them, bypassed Wu Xian who reached out his hand, and grabbed Hu Yunkuan's hand.

"You've finally arrived. My brothers and sisters and I all have things to do, so I'll leave it to you to keep the vigil for us tonight!"

He leaned into Hu Yunkuan's ear and said.

"The transaction is going very smoothly. I will keep my promise; as long as you kill the Great Grandmother, I will give you a chance to survive."

"During the vigil, there are a few points you must keep in mind."

"First, you must never let a cat get close to the Great Grandmother's coffin; second, you must never let the incense for the Great Grandmother go out; no laughing, no playing, no humming, no taking off the mourning clothes..."

"Third watch night fire, fifth watch chicken, second watch ghosts and demons, fourth watch snake sheds skin!"

"Every time the watchman hits the gong, it's a new stage; you must be careful and more careful."

After explaining the details.

Liu Baoyu's expression relaxed slightly.

Wu Xian observed from the side; he found that Liu Baoyu's attitude at this time was still relatively humble, and it was hard to imagine that after the Liu family's Great Grandmother died, he would become a majestic and world-destroying evil dragon.

Then Liu Baoyu led everyone to the front of the Great Grandmother's coffin.

"I think before sealing the coffin, you must have something to give to the Great Grandmother."

As soon as Hu Yunkuan saw this, he understood Liu Baoyu's meaning.

The things he mentioned should be the birthday gifts they had risked their lives to obtain in the study room; they had thought these gifts would be given at the Great Grandmother's birthday banquet, but they didn't expect them to be farewell gifts.

So everyone walked to the front of the coffin one by one.

And placed those vicious gifts on the Great Grandmother; throughout the process, the Liu Mansion servants were watching, and it was only considered finished when they had all placed their gifts on the Great Grandmother.

When it was Wu Xian's turn.

Wu Xian walked up and finally saw the Liu family's Great Grandmother, whom he had heard about but was seeing for the first time.

The Liu family's Great Grandmother was not an old woman, but a beautiful woman.

She was wearing a white cheongsam, which set off her curvaceous figure; she exuded a faint fragrance, and her face had red lips and white teeth, with an elegant look between her brows, showing no trace of evil characteristics.

Only such a Liu family Great Grandmother would be worthy of the title "Fairy Liu."

She lay in the coffin, seemingly breathless, but not looking like she had died.

In fact, she probably hadn't really died.

Otherwise, at this Great Grandmother's funeral, there would be no need for Liu Baoyu to ask Wu Xian and the others to kill her.

From the outside, the Liu family's Great Grandmother had absolutely no trace of evil or gloom; it was hard to imagine that she would be the source of the chaos in this world.
