Chapter 16 Purple Extremity Street Monster

Ji Xiang's face turned cold.

A wave of extremely cold and terrifying Yin Qi gathered. This Yin Qi wasn't emitted by living ghosts. Ji Xiang looked around; the living people and the living ghosts were behaving normally, still playing or working.

The Inner Vision Divine Tablet didn't react.

Was it because there was no threat to him?

"Too familiar, this is the Yin Spirit Qi of the Song court."

During the great chaos in Shuntian, the imperial city almost fell into the underworld. The instigator was the Song court in the underworld, but the great formation that connected Yin and Yang and performed reverse reception had been suppressed by Lao Zhang using thunder magic. When a soaring powerhouse took action, there would be no accidents with such overwhelming power.

"Besides that formation, what other ways does the Song court have to influence the Yang world from the Yin world?"

Ji Xiang felt a slight unease and summoned Hu Xiaoshi.

At this time, Hu Xiaoshi was buying ice cream on the street.

Ice cream originated in the Song Dynasty. During winter, people in the Song Dynasty would fill a copper basin with water, add sugar, fruit juice, and pectin, then put it outside to freeze. After the entire basin of water had frozen, it was transported to an ice cellar, cut into small pieces the following summer, and sold in cold drink shops.

There was also a type of shaved ice, mixed with various dried fruits and stirred, half drink and half eat.

Of course, this ice was "clean and hygienic".

The little fox was buying two ice creams on the street when he heard Ji Xiang calling him. He immediately ran over with a large pile of things, but suddenly a tall figure stood in front of the little fox, reaching out to ask for ice cream. The little fox, of course, refused, but in the next moment, both ice creams disappeared.

Then the little fox was pushed!

The little fox cried out and fell to the ground. The tall figure quickly disappeared, moving so fast that it didn't seem human, like an evil wind. The little fox was dumbfounded, looking at the ice cream he had just bought and hadn't eaten, and began to curse loudly.

Even the surrounding people were attracted by the strange situation and pointed in the direction where the strange figure disappeared.

"Where did this robber come from, how can he rob other people's ice cream! If you don't have any to eat, I can buy you some, why are you robbing..."

The little fox's complaints were not finished.

Ji Xiang grabbed the little fox, his killing intent soaring, and immediately ran towards the location where the figure had disappeared!

"Master Ancestor?! For, for an ice cream, it's not worth killing someone..."

The little fox was startled, but Ji Xiang didn't answer because descriptions now appeared in the Inner Vision Divine Tablet!

[Purple Extremity Street Monster: Evil God type (▊▋▊▋▊▋)! A strange evil god that appeared during the Song Dynasty. It often begs for ice cream on the street. If it is not given any, it will hit people and then snatch the ice cream, covering people's mouths and noses with mud.]

[When the Purple Extremity Street Monster appears, it often symbolizes the decline of righteous Dharma. It will appear in desolate places where righteous Dharma is not flourishing. At this time, a large soapberry tree with fleshy tumors will appear out of nowhere.]

[Killing it requires nailing the meat tumors of the large soapberry tree with five large iron nails.]

The decline of the Daoist temple?

The Complete Perfection Daoist temple in Gusu was still quite prosperous, and the old lecherous ghost during the day was also a Daoist recluse. Experts of the Yellow Court realm were wandering around everywhere. Apart from living ghosts, this was the first evil god monster to dare to appear directly.

Of course, what made Ji Xiang more concerned was the Song Dynasty label and the familiar censoring!

Was it a monster controlled by the Song court, or an escaped evil god's husk?

"Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been no news of such a monster."

Ji Xiang chased forward and soon saw a large soapberry tree flowing with blood. The surrounding houses seemed to have made way for it, leaving an empty space in the center.

However, the Purple Extremity Street Monster that had just snatched the ice cream was now nailed to the tree's fleshy tumor with five large nails. Blood was flowing all over the ground, and the monster was already dead.

The little fox opened his mouth wide, looking at the two ice creams hanging on the big tree.

"Dead?"

Ji Xiang pushed the big tree, and it immediately fell to the ground.

At this time, in the far distance ahead, there was a palace with flourishing incense, its red light soaring into the sky, not concealing itself at all.

"Not good, is this trying to lure me?"

Ji Xiang looked at the strange palace with flourishing incense in front of him, and then at the street behind him.

There weren't many people here. After leaving the bustling urban area, with the lack of a large amount of commercial activity, the lights gradually went out. For the common people, lamp oil was very expensive, and they would save it if they could.

Therefore, in this residential area, not many households still had lanterns hanging, only in front of two or three large mansions were there lanterns swaying, but the gusts of Yin wind made the lanterns sway, making those large doors look old and worn.

"Interesting, is there a problem here too?"

The palace in front was clearly telling him there was a problem, while the houses around and behind him were also filled with gloomy Yin Qi. There wasn't even a night watchman on the street.

If he had the boots of the Night Wanderer at this time, he would be able to immediately identify where the problems were and where the traps were.

If he went forward, his life would be in danger, and if he retreated, there would also be an ambush.

Even the little fox sensed the strange situation.

"Master Ancestor, who is trying to deal with us? It's so gloomy here, there aren't even any souls around, not even those living ghosts."

Foxes were most knowledgeable about Netherworld affairs and were naturally able to sense them. Therefore, whether they were fox spirits or fox demons, they could sense the existence of ghosts and monsters, including those living ghosts, but in this place, there weren't even any souls or living ghosts.

There were many living ghosts in Gusu city. According to records, in order not to disturb the living, they often gathered in temples or some uninhabited haunted houses, but now this area was so filled with Yin Qi that even ghosts didn't dare to live here, let alone approach it.

Ji Xiang threw the Five Thunder Divine Machine at his waist to the little fox, and also gave him some lead pellets and gunpowder.

"I want to see what's waiting for me here."

Ji Xiang raised another Five Thunder Divine Machine and fired a shot at a mansion with extremely heavy Yin Qi!

Bang!

The smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and the blazing fire illuminated everything, instantly driving the power of wishes to exert a powerful force!

However, the firearms that had been invincible in the past didn't shatter the door panel at this time!

The door panel of the mansion was still intact. There were no bullet marks on it, but countless "ni" characters gradually appeared!

Pale circles, those were paper money. Countless paper money flew in the air, each with the character "ni" on it!

When a person dies, they become a ghost. When a ghost dies, they become a ni!

The little fox was startled, but Ji Xiang was puzzled.

"Ni is a talisman character for killing ghosts, the form a ghost takes after death, also known as the Yin Blade Ghost. Ordinary ghosts can harm people's lives, but ni cannot harm people, it can only harm ghosts. Therefore, it is often summoned by Daoist magic to be used as a powerful curse ghost to kill evil ghosts."

"Ni is a divine incantation for dispelling evil and filth. How could it be written on paper money?"

Ji Xiang thought for a moment and suddenly thought of an astonishing possibility.

People send paper money to ghosts, reciting the name of the ghost who receives the paper money. And this paper money... Could it be that ghosts are sending it to ni?

"This is really interesting!"

Ji Xiang reached out his hand, and a hideous ghost smile appeared in his palm, slapping it on the gate of the mansion!

Filth Subduing Vajra Hell Imprint!
