Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 15: A hall collapses and shocks ghosts and gods (please read it later)

[You are contaminated by the aura of disaster, and your vitality continues to decrease... You have consumed most of your vitality and successfully resisted the pollution of the disaster.]

[You obtain the Funeral Vessel: Ghost Hall. ]

[Ghost Hall: It is said that the gavel used by the first Fengdu County Magistrate Li Tianchang when he was an official was used to judge life during the day and death at night. After Li Tianchang's death, it was placed in his coffin by his descendants to be nourished by Yin energy. It was later stolen by the tomb raider and has strange and unpredictable abilities.]

A cool touch was transmitted from a rectangular piece of hardwood to Lin Beixuan's fingertips. The hardwood was simple, angular, and had faint patterns on it. It felt heavy in his hand.

"The Ghost Hall, what a great name!"

Lin Beixuan took the Ghost Hall out of the iron box. His eyes were bloodshot and turned into a strange scarlet color at this moment.

The evil spirit consumed most of the vitality in his body, and severe pain came from every part of his body, as if countless small insects were crawling and biting in his muscles, making him suffer every moment.

However, Lin Beixuan seemed to feel nothing about it. He stood up stiffly, picked up Jingguitang with his slender fingers, pinched it with his middle finger, and lifted it up gently.

Suddenly, he slapped downwards.

"Snapped!!!"

The Ghost Hall's strike was clearly only in the void, but the sound was like thunder, as if it had landed on a solid table. A majestic aura suddenly arose from the point where it landed.

This loud noise actually frightened the surrounding ghosts and made them feel uneasy. They felt a strong sense of fear in their hearts, as if they were in a government office, surrounded by stern and ferocious-looking officials who were glaring at them fiercely.

Not only that, the airflow shot out from the void of the Ghost Hall also rolled up bursts of cold and bone-biting yin energy, rushing to the surroundings. Everyone who was affected had their souls shaken by the impact, and their spirits became illusory.

Lin Beixuan sneered, and his thin sleeves slipped from his wrists, revealing his entire arm. The skin on his arm turned pale, without a trace of blood, like a corpse that had been dead for a long time. Black spots like iron chains extended from his chest to his wrists.

"It seems that I have hit the target."

Lin Beixuan's voice was low at this moment, but it made the ghosts around him feel nervous.

The old lady with a cat face was the most straightforward. The cat-faced lady that had been so cold and scary before was now very obedient. She bowed to Lin Beixuan, then moved her feet and disappeared from the spot in an instant, running faster than a mouse.

When one ghost left, the remaining ghosts all became uneasy. They looked at the cat-faced old lady who had run far away, and then looked at Lin Beixuan who was standing still, feeling a little hesitant.

But at this moment, Lin Beixuan moved, his feet dancing like a butterfly, raised the Ghost Hall again, and slapped the nearest ghost.

"Snapped!!!"

Another loud thunder exploded, and the ghost closest to Lin Beixuan was hit right in the face by Jingguitang.

"what!"

The ghost just let out a final scream, and its spirit was instantly shattered by the Ghost Hall.

Lin Beixuan withdrew his hand and his face turned even paler.

Every time he used the Ghost Hall to attack, it seemed as if the energy in his body was drained away, and the power decreased, and it was far less shocking than the first time.

Fortunately, the ghost had already been frightened by his previous momentum and stood still. It did not resist at all and was directly beaten to pieces on the spot.

[You killed the vengeful spirit - Fang Caiyi, successfully saved her soul, and obtained 20-year-old coins.]

"I'm sorry, although you are quite pitiful, it's your fault for always trying to hurt me. I've already told you that I'm not a good person!"

Lin Beixuan let out a breath of anger and turned his head to look at the ghosts, but before he could say anything harsh, the ghosts disappeared one after another, leaving faster than they came.

As they walked away, the darkness around them suddenly retreated. A lantern hung alone next to the door plaque of the Ruan family's house, and its light shone even further than the two lanterns. It really proved the previous saying that ghosts are actually afraid of evil people.

Lin Beixuan leaned against the door, looking at the night that had calmed down. Suddenly, he twisted his body, picked up the Ghost Hall in his hand and smashed it into a dark corner nearby.

"pat..."

Perhaps because it was separated from Lin Beixuan, the sound emitted by the Ghost Hall this time was much smaller, as if it was just an ordinary wake-up stick hitting the ground.

However, this voice was mixed with a creepy 'squeak'.

[You defeated the yellow-skinned beast, causing severe injuries to it, and picked up an item from it: the yellow-skinned beast's tail.]

[Yellow Skin - Aunt Jiu is very angry about what you did, favorability -100. ]

[Yellow Skin - Aunt Jiu thinks you are extremely vicious and very likable to her, and her favorability towards you is +50. ]

"..."

Lin Beixuan couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. This Ninth Aunt is really a real person. If she pleases him, he can increase her favorability.

After observing the surroundings for a while, Lin Beixuan picked up Jing Guitang from the ground and put it in his arms. He then walked to the place where he had just beaten Fang Caiyi to death and picked up a nail that looked like jade from the ground.

"I guess this should be the essence of evil spirits that the site owner mentioned in the post."

After looking at it carefully, Lin Beixuan carefully placed the nails together with Jingguitang.

This is the main material for making soul-chasing incense, and it is extremely important to him. With this nail, he should be able to make three inferior soul-chasing incense sticks.

As for the Ninth Aunt's tail... Lin Beixuan finally picked it up after hesitating for a long time, but there was some disgust on his face, and he tore off a piece of cloth to wrap it up.

There was no other reason, it was just that Ninth Aunt's tail was too smelly, an indescribable smell that made it impossible to open one's eyes.

After making sure there was no danger around, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the doorstep. A strong feeling of fatigue and weakness spread throughout his body, his brain was in a daze, and he almost fell to the ground.

Holding the door frame with one hand, Lin Beixuan rested for a long time before he gradually recovered. Looking at the dark and silent street, his face became heavy.

At this time, the loud and passionate crowing of roosters pierced the silent night sky.

"The crowing of cocks means that the morning is almost dawn. Why hasn't Butler Xu come back yet?"

Lin Beixuan frowned slightly. He felt that with Butler Xu's ability, nothing should go wrong at night.

You have to know that before, just by sitting in front of the door, the ghosts in the dark did not dare to step into Ruan’s house. He was completely on two levels.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a strange cry coming through the wind.

"My common name is Little Stone. I am a servant and doorman in the Ruan family's mansion. My soul has returned. It has already returned..."

Hearing the voice, Lin Beixuan coughed twice and struggled to stand up. When the voice got closer, he saw Xu Shounian holding a burning green incense in one hand, shouting, and reaching into a small wooden box with the other hand, taking out yellow paper and throwing it into the sky.

"Buy the way through the underworld, evil spirits, don't disturb me!"

However, when Xu Shounian was about to reach the door of Ruan's house while scattering paper money, he suddenly stopped, looked around strangely, his eyes full of surprise and suspicion.

"Tsk... the trip was so bad, how come there was no ghost to be seen when I came back? It's strange!"
