Chapter 28: Five Elements Sha Ghost

Xu Jia also saw these ghosts, and keenly noticed that among the many ghosts, one was different.

This ghost was emitting Black Qi from its entire body, its complexion was sallow, and it wore a hat on its head that looked like a grave mound. The clothes on its body were also earthy yellow, and between its brows and eyes, it was filled with Evil Qi, hatred, and Resentment Qi.

The next moment, fragments of images flashed through Xu Jia's mind; the memories of the original body were being awakened.

Body and Soul resonance.

This was the Soul of Xu Jia's original body, which had also transformed into a Yin ghost.

"Yin Earth Sha."

Xu Jia understood in an instant.

The original body did not die from a departing soul; on the contrary, the Soul was still in the physical body, only suppressed and trapped, turning it into a vegetable until it was buried at the designated location, at which point it breathed its last.

Because the original body had already been refined into the Earth Sha among the "Five Elements Sha Ghosts."

Five Elements Sha Ghosts are Sha ghosts refined by killing people with special life patterns in five different ways.

The Condolence Guest Sha is the "Wood Sha."

The original body being buried alive in the Luanzanggang was the "Yin Earth Sha."

Five Elements Sha Ghosts need to be refined in the order of the Five Elements' mutual restraint.

If there is a Wood ghost first, then it is Wood restrains Earth, Earth restrains Water, Water restrains Fire, and Fire restrains Metal.

But Metal also restrains Wood, completing the cycle, so it can be refined starting from any element.

Xu Jia did not know how many ghosts that Daoist had refined; if the Five Elements were not complete, the Five Elements Sha Ghosts would not be difficult to deal with.

If the Five Elements were already complete, then it would be troublesome; Five Elements Sha are extremely dangerous and vicious.

Because most things in the world are post-natal Five Elements, including the human body and the Feng Shui of houses. Five Elements Sha Ghosts can possess human bodies at will, stealing their Five Elements Essence Qi; after the stolen person dies, they cannot even become a ghost, but can only be controlled by it, becoming a "Ghost Minion."

Once these five Sha have each harmed four people, they can transform into "Five Elements Ghost Soldiers," and the Sha ghost becomes a "Team Leader"; if each harms nine people, they become "Five Elements Junior Officers."

In this way, they can gradually grow, even slaughtering a city, turning the human world into a ghost realm, Reversing Yin and Yang, and becoming Five Directions Ghost Kings.

Furthermore, Five Elements Sha Ghosts can transport wealth and sneak into people's homes at will, unafraid of household guardian gods.

In his past life, Xu Jia had encountered an Evil Master who refined Five Elements ghosts, but in that Central Plains land, the laws were strict, and harming people was not easy; he only used the convenience of an orphanage to harm five children and refine Five Elements ghost children.

That matter was originally encountered by a disciple, and the disciple could not fight them, so he brought out Xu Jia; Xu Jia was also well-read and knew this technique, which is the most evil of the evil and the most vicious of the vicious within the "Yin Mountain Method."

The only way to break it is to use things that are not within the "post-natal Five Elements."

"Lightning" is not within this scope, and therefore can restrain all Five Elements ghosts.

Ancient Thunder Law Daoists were fierce and peerless, but when Xu Jia cultivated to the Small Heavenly Circuit, he was already old and not a virgin, so he could not cultivate the Pure Yang Thunder Method, and Yin Thunder was meaningless, so he did not specifically cultivate it, although he did have the corresponding secret manuals.

He only used a trick, using high-voltage electricity to disintegrate the Evil Qi of the Five Elements Spirit Children, and finally sealed them into a jar, passing them to his disciple to serve as "Spirit Children."

Now there is no high-voltage electricity, and cultivating the Thunder Law requires at least the "Small Heavenly Circuit" level of effort to refine "Palm Thunder."

Xu Jia guessed that it was likely that the evil Daoist had not yet finished refining the Five Elements Sha.

First, finding people with suitable life patterns is not easy and relies on luck. Second, from beginning to end, only that Green Sha ghost, the Condolence Guest Sha, had appeared.

Furthermore, during Xu Jia's Return to Soul tribulation, the Condolence Guest Sha was easily forced back, and when it snuck into Xu Fu, it was instead caught by Xu Jia like a turtle in a jar and did not escape.

If it were already a Five Elements Sha Ghost, it would have come and gone freely long ago.

Xu Jia touched the Pressing Money in his hand; this money was the important means to overcome this ghost.

But where was that evil Daoist? Is he not appearing yet? "Whoosh—whoosh—"

A more terrifying Yin Qi washed over from the mountain forest.

A "chicken foot" that seemed to be a zhang high appeared outside the ghosts. The Chicken Jue Mountain God! This thing was permeated with Yin Sha, hopping along; with every hop, it got closer to the foot of the mountain.

It had no physical form; in fact, like a ghost, it was a Sha object.

Because the common people all felt this mountain looked like a large chicken foot, it gathered thoughts and formed a shape, and so it became this kind of thing.

Xu Jia's mountain-calling was successful.

This Chicken Jue Mountain God actually had basically no Divine Nature; it was more like a "ghost-monster," a collection of natural will, and also a collection of the common people's cognition...

Compared to other ghost objects, it best fit the characteristics of a "Mountain God."

Xu Jia looked at it; although such a large chicken foot made him think it would be delicious, if it were a zhang high and hopping around in the night, constantly chasing people, it was still very eerie and terrifying.

The house-protecting barrier did not stop it; after all, it was Xu Jia who had summoned it.

The small courtyard could not contain it at all.

It stood before the Dharma Altar, motionless, seemingly without self-will.

But Xu Jia knew it was observing the few people in the courtyard.

It was learning, growing.

It would also be curious; if it wanted to stomp someone to death, it could stomp them to death.

This is the "Natural Spirit" within the "Ten Thousand Things Have Spirits" theory of Shamanism.

It has no post-natal concept of good and evil, but it is also easily influenced by post-natal concepts of good and evil.

So, in fact, it is not a Mountain God, but a "Mountain Spirit" with the potential to become a Mountain God.

Niu Congcong was also startled and stunned, so Xu Jia kicked him, kicking him awake.

Immediately, he hurriedly followed what Xu Jia said and began to communicate with the Chicken Juezi Mountain Deity.

Two of his Yang fire lamps had extinguished, and only the one on top of his head remained, but it was also flickering; his spirituality was further bolstered by the Fox Immortal, Hu Jinhua.

Very quickly, he entered the stage of "Natural Sensing."

He perceived the large chicken foot in front of him, but in his mind, the true scene of the entire Chicken Juezi Mountain appeared.

His spirituality communicated with the spirituality of the great mountain.

Before Xu Jia's Dharma Altar command could suppress this Chicken Juezi Mountain Deity, if a contract could not be formed to complete the "Shamanism" god-inviting ritual, Xu Jia would initiate backup measures.

Fortunately, after the Chicken Juezi Mountain spirit's post-natal cognition came into contact with Niu Congcong, it was assimilated, and a contract was naturally formed.

On Niu Congcong's body, a Chicken Jue Mark appeared.

The Chicken Juezi Mountain Deity also began to change, condensing from the appearance of a chicken claw into a not-so-real human shape.

This directly molded a "personality."

Xu Jia personally wrote the "Position of the Chicken Juezi Mountain Deity" onto the Divine Register, parallel to Hu Jinhua.

That Chicken Juezi Mountain Deity sensed it, and the faceless man shape it had turned into touched its hand to the Divine Register, then passed into the register and entered the "Dharma Field Space."

Hu Jinhua was inside the Fajie Daochang when she suddenly saw such a faceless man crash in, his whole body covered in Evil Qi.

Before he could react, she followed Xu Jia's instructions, refined Evil Qi from his body, and attached her own thought to it.

The Chicken Juezi Mountain Deity also came into contact with Hu Jinhua's thought and gained "bestiality."

His features gradually solidified, and finally, he looked up at the highest point, where the "Position of Dharma Lord Xu Shigong" was like a small sun, which was also the source of the entire Dharma Realm.

It reached out to touch it, but that was another world; how could it possibly touch it? (End of chapter)
