Chapter 19: The Demon of Gluttony in the Imperial Capital

  "Ah...... get away from me! Don't go near my mom!" A small boy beside Xiao Yu suddenly shrieked.

  A loud "Boom..." sound, the originally quiet and somewhat eerie carriage in the darkness suddenly boiled up under the little boy's scream.

  Xiao Yu was also awakened by the scream. In the instant when Xiao Yu opened his eyes, more than a hundred ghosts who were absorbing the sun's energy in the carriage all floated back into the air of the tunnel in an instant.

  "Baby, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Mommy!" Zhou Ruoying anxiously hugged the little boy and asked in a panic.

  "Mom, just now an uncle with blood on his face wanted to bite you!" The little boy said to his mom.

  At this time, an old woman sitting behind the little boy whispered: "As the saying goes, children's hearts are the purest and can see things that adults can't, such as... ghosts. There must be something unclean in this car that was seen by this child."

  The people sitting nearby heard the old woman say this and were all startled in their hearts, with goosebumps on their scalps.

  "Baby, baby, don't scare mommy! It's okay, it's okay!" Hearing the voice behind her, Zhou Ruoying's heart skipped a beat as she tightly hugged her son.

  "Mom, Xiaoyu is not afraid, the bad uncle has run away." Hearing the little boy say this, the people sitting nearby finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Xiao Yu had just received the mysterious information from the tattoo, which was like a branding iron that left an indelible mark on his soul, allowing him to understand and learn Zhong Kui's ghost-catching techniques. Of course, he only learned the basic techniques. Xiao Yu sat in his seat, looking at the over 100 ghosts floating in the tunnel space, thinking to himself: "Let's use you guys as practice!"

  Xiao Yu left his seat and came to the toilet, inserted the toilet door from the inside, sat down with his knees crossed, concentrated his mind and entered the recognition space. Looking at these three magical instruments, Xiao Yu only knew when he just received this information that Zhong Kui was a ghost corpse before his death, so before dissipating, he had used his true spirit fragments to strengthen his own yin soul, making it possible for him to leave his yin soul out of his body. Thus saving himself from years of bitter cultivation.

  Xiao Yu looked at the three artifacts composed of mysterious patterns, and there was no record of these mysterious patterns in Zhong Kui's just-transmitted information. Xiao Yu stepped forward and grasped the three artifacts composed of mysterious patterns, and the patterns that made up the three artifacts suddenly extended a part and tightly combined with Xiao Yu's palm.

  At the moment when Xiao Yu grasped the artifact, a few lines of words appeared in his mind: Judge's Pen: judge yin and cut yang, Yin Soul Book: capture soul and seal ghost; Demon-slaying Sword: kill ghost, behead demon, eliminate magic.

  Xiao You's right hand held the Judge's Pen, his left hand grasped the Soul Register, and at his waist hung the Demon-Slaying Sword. He burst through the Sea of Consciousness space with his soul body, bringing three magical instruments to the tunnel space in mid-air.

  "You wicked ghosts, refusing to enter the cycle of reincarnation, gathering here to absorb human yang energy and severing people's life force! What a big nerve you have!" Shao Yun shouted loudly at these wicked ghosts in mid-air.

  An old devil wearing a Qing dynasty official uniform let out a cold laugh and said: "And who are you? Dare to interfere with grandfather's business!"

  "Haha, what kind of person? Before I die, let me make you understand, remember that the one who will collect your souls is Tian Shi Xiao Ye." Xiao Ye smiled lightly after hearing his words.

  As soon as he finished speaking, the judge's pen in his hand lightly pointed forward, and a golden light gathered at the tip of the pen. Xiao Yu held the judge's pen and lightly pointed it at a wild ghost, and the golden light that had gathered at the tip of the pen instantly became like a golden thread that flashed through space and arrived in front of a wild ghost. The moment the wild ghost was stained with the golden thread, it seemed to be assimilated by the golden thread, and its whole body slowly turned into gold before disappearing into the sky.

  "What's with the law?"

  "That's the Judge's Brush, those little ones robbed me of that treasure, whoever gets it from you I'll give him a hundred shares of Yang energy!" The old ghost in Qing dynasty official attire looked at Xiao Yu's brush with a greedy cry.

  All lonely souls and wild ghosts in mid-air have turned red-eyed.

  Xiao Yu's eyes were cold and calm, his heart without a single ripple.

  "Are you the ones?" Xiao Yu heard Lao Gui's words, his palm flipped over, and the Judge's Pen appeared even clearer: "You also want to covet my artifact? Are you worthy?"

  "Hey, little ones, up!" The old ghost shouted at the lonely wild ghosts beside him.

  Upon hearing the old ghost's cry, over a hundred lonely and wild ghosts instantly surrounded Xiao Yu heavily. The old ghost shouted: "Hand over the magical artifact, spare your life, otherwise next year today will be your sacrificial day."

  "You want the law enforcement tool? That's not so easy." After finishing speaking, he took a step forward. The judge's pen lightly tapped again, and a golden light instantly shot towards a ghost. The ghost saw the golden light shooting towards itself and wanted to dodge, but this golden light was like an attached bone worm, wanting to dodge but unable to dodge. Instantly it was struck by the golden light and instantly disappeared.

  "This kid is fierce, run quickly!" It was only then that they knew the ferocity of Xiao Yu's Judge Pen. They had thought that as long as they dodged the golden light, nothing would happen to them, because he knew that all magical instruments relied on magic power to control, and with this young kid's age, how many times could he possibly use it? However, in the end, no matter what, he did not expect that this golden light was impossible to dodge.

  Xiao Yu looked at the chaotic group, hiding in the dark cloud tunnel of lonely souls and wild ghosts, and coldly said: "Do you still want to run now? It's too late, with your kind of things still wanting to seize the artifact, it's too naive!" As he spoke, the patterns on the artifact in Xiao Yu's hand immediately surged towards his yin soul's eyes. His yin soul's eyes instantly turned into two emotionless and icy colors, black and white. Perhaps due to the yin soul's influence, Xiao Yu's eyes had always been black and white, never recovering.

  In the black and white world seen in Xiao Yu's eyes, the lonely souls and wild ghosts hiding in the dark clouds all appeared in Xiao Yu's line of sight without exception.

  "Swallowing Heaven and Earth..."

  The ghost swallowed heaven and earth with the refining ghost decision, Xiao Yu's head was like a balloon being inflated, slowly getting bigger. When his head grew to about ten feet in diameter, Xiao Yu's big head faced forward and took a deep breath, and the dark clouds and lone souls in front of him were all sucked into Xiao Yu's belly.

  Left flank, right flank, rear.

  Xiao Yu opened his big mouth, constantly changing direction, and all the ghosts in all directions were swallowed into his abdomen. Only one old ghost wearing a Qing dynasty official uniform was still struggling to hold on.
