Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 395 Yama-level Ai Hu, fighting alone, looking down with dominance!
Since someone had already created the Ai Hu, Chen Xin didn't need to bother making one himself and directly summoned the Ai Hu's original form from the "Complete Book of Town-Suppressing Objects".

Compared to the one made by the girl, the one in Chen Xin's hand is much more exquisite.

After summoning Ai Hu, Chen Xin conducted some tests on Ai Hu.

The deterrent effect he needed did not appear immediately, but when Ai Hu eliminated the evil spirits, Chen Xin sensed a power called "Evil Transformation" emanating from Ai Hu.

That power was subtle, and seemed to be related to the scent emitted by the mugwort leaves in the tiger.

The power of [Dispelling Evil] allows Ai Hu to directly eliminate wandering souls within a certain range, but it cannot directly eliminate vengeful ghosts. Its effect is similar to that of Wei Jiao, which dissolves the yin energy within the vengeful ghost through a slow erosion, thereby weakening it.

Once the vengeful ghost is weakened to the same level as the wandering spirit, it will be directly eliminated by Ai Hu.

However, unlike the reeds, the tiger was restricted in one aspect but compensated for in another.

That's quantity!
Ai Hu's "warding off evil spirits" is not targeted at any specific ghost or spirit. As long as they are within Ai Hu's range of influence, no matter how many ghosts or spirits there are, they will all be affected by the warding off evil spirits.

"Although it lacks deterrence, its area-of-effect attack is not bad."

Chen Xin thought about it and realized that if Ai Hu's ability were added to the Gates of Hell, it might be feasible.

If the Gates of Hell appear, all the ghosts and spirits within the area will be gradually suppressed and weakened. Wouldn't that be a kind of deterrent?
With this understanding, Chen Xin began to improve Ai Hu, wanting to see what abilities Ai Hu would develop after the improvement.

Knowing about Ai Hu's improved abilities, Chen Xin was able to better grasp the situation regarding his improvement after the brush with death.

With the consumption of one thousand Yin virtues, Ai Hu advanced to the Yin Marshal level.

Although no new terms will appear for the Yin Shuai level, Ai Hu's own abilities have been improved.

First, there's the range. The range of the Yin-Yang level's "Evil-Dispelling" effect is roughly within a ten-meter radius centered on the Ai Hu (a type of amulet), which can cover a house.

After advancing to the Yin Marshal level, the [Evil Transformation] radius increased from ten meters to one hundred meters.

The range has increased, but the weakening speed of the vengeful ghost within the range has only accelerated slightly, and it has not reached the point where Chen Xin imagined that the vengeful ghost would be instantly killed.

However, after being promoted to the Yin Marshal level, Ai Hu proved to be very effective in dealing with fierce and evil spirits.

Because [dispelling evil] can counteract the evil mist of malevolent forces, causing them to lose their most unique power.

Moreover, the effect of [Dispelling Evil] is not limited to evil mist; it also weakens illusionary effects such as being trapped in a maze.

From this, Chen Xin realized that Ai Hu's promotion should lean towards support rather than combat.

After the test was completed, Chen Xin spent another 10,000 Yin Virtue to promote Ai Hu once again.

A new term appeared for Ai Hu, who had risen to the Yin Si level: [Yang Moxibustion].

When Chen Xin saw the explanation of "Yang Jiu", his first reaction was that it was a method of removing dampness called "moxibustion".

In fact, they do look very similar.

However, Ai Hu's [Yang Moxibustion] is much more miraculous.

The range of the Yin Si level Ai Hu has increased to a radius of 500 meters, but it still cannot directly kill the vengeful ghost. However, the speed of [Transforming Evil] has become a little faster.

However, the emergence of [Yang Moxibustion] has made up for the lack of effectiveness of moxibustion.

【Yang Moxibustion】can instantly kill ghosts and spirits below the Blood Calamity level!
When there are ghosts or spirits within the area covered by Ai Hu, [Yang Moxibustion] will be triggered.

The so-called Yang moxibustion refers to the appearance of a Yang spot radiating intense heat within the effective range of the moxa stick. This Yang spot is formed by the condensation of the Qi (vital energy) from the entire effective range.

Just like using a magnifying glass to focus under the sun, where the sun spots are located, there is no trace of yin energy.

When evil spirits and malevolent forces come into contact with Yangban, they are instantly melted into blue smoke and dissipate. Even bloodshed dares not be continuously exposed to Yangban.

However, one drawback of [Yang Moxibustion] is that multiple Yang spots cannot appear at the same time; only one can appear at a time.

Furthermore, no one else can control the Yin Si level Ai Hu to accurately release Yang Spots at the designated location; the appearance of Yang Spots is random.

But Chen Xin could. When Chen Xin focused his consciousness on Ai Hu, the situation at all the locations where ghosts appeared within a radius of 500 meters would appear in his mind.

In this state, Chen Xin was playing a game; wherever he pointed, the freckles would appear.

This ability piqued Chen Xin's interest.

If someone with similar abilities were to advance through the Ghost Gate, such precise strikes would pose a threat not only to ghosts but also to humans.

While yang energy can enhance the cultivation of qi and blood, it is only within a certain range.

Based on Chen Xin's personal experience, under the sixth version of the exercise, no one could withstand the power of Yang Ban.

Even the top team leaders in the Bureau of Public Opinion Investigations are only at the fifth version of the exercise routine. In other words, within Ai Hu's range, Chen Xin could eliminate most of the Bureau's agents with just a thought.

Of course, this is under Chen Xin's active control; under normal circumstances, a Yin-level Ai Hu would not attack Yang Xiu.

Looking at Ai Hu, who was at the Yin Si level, Chen Xin pondered whether he should continue to advance.

It takes 100,000 units of Yin virtue to go from the Yin Si level to the Yama level. It's not a lot, but there's still a lot one can do.

But after thinking it over, Chen Xin decided that he could continue to be promoted.

Both in terms of understanding Ai Hu's background and Ai Hu's abilities, he deserves further promotion.

Immediately, Chen Xin poured out another 100,000 units of Yin Virtue.

A new entry has appeared again!
Yang Hu

When Chen Xin learned about the effects of [Yang Hu], a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Because this is another beast summoned by Chen Xin, in addition to Chicken Bro, Netherworld Fox, Raven Prophet, and Cloth Dog, he even wondered if he could collect an entire zoo if he continued like this.
The so-called "Yang Tiger" refers to a fierce tiger composed of yang energy that will condense within the influence range of the Yama-level Ai Tiger.

Chen Xin couldn't glean any concrete information from the data alone, so he took Ai Hu to the Yin-Yang region where the ancient town was located.

The influence range of the Yama-level Ai Hu expanded to a radius of one thousand meters, while the entire ancient town was only a little over one thousand meters long but less than two thousand meters. Therefore, when Chen Xin stood in the center of the ancient town, the influence range of Ai Hu directly covered the entire ancient town.

In this short period of time, Chen Xin's Yin Virtue jumped tens of thousands of points!

This is why the vengeful spirits were instantly eliminated within Ai Hu's area of ​​effect.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xin sensed that the aura emanating from Ai Hu began to converge within a radius of one kilometer.

This convergence is similar to the convergence of the previous [Yang Moxibustion], but it is also different.

Soon, a figure radiating orange-yellow light appeared in front of Chen Xin. When the light subsided, what appeared in front of Chen Xin was a fierce tiger formed from dark yellow light.

Although it was just a condensation of light, Chen Xin saw the bulging muscles on the tiger's body, its bared fangs, and its hooked claws.

Even their eyes flashed with a fierce light that seemed almost tangible.

Upon closer inspection, the so-called fierce light is actually just two yang spots formed by moxibustion!
Just as Chen Xin was observing, the tiger moved.

As he took his steps, Chen Xin even saw the tiger's shoulders heaving like waves!
When the tiger's long tail lashed out, it even stirred up a wave of heat. Before Chen Xin could even marvel at the tiger's reality, a low growl erupted from its throat, a roar like muffled thunder that quickly spread throughout the entire ancient town!
……

On a small bridge in the ancient town, a faceless woman holding an oil-paper umbrella looked in the direction of Hu Xiao. Then she leaped up, stepping on the countless oil-paper umbrellas rushing out of the river, and headed towards the center of the ancient town.

In another location, in an ancestral hall in an ancient town, two rows of ferocious stone statues on either side of the hall suddenly opened their eyes. Their scarlet eyes illuminated the dimly lit hall like spotlights, and the sound of cracking stones rang out. Immediately afterward, some stone statues burst out of the door.

At the same time, a woman with flowing hair wandering through the streets and alleys suddenly transformed into a red mist and drifted towards the center of the ancient town.

After the tiger's roar stopped, the [Yang Tiger] was completely surrounded by blood calamities coming from three directions.

Chen Xin, who had already discovered the situation, had led Ai Hu out of the battle, leaving the battlefield to Yang Hu.

"It actually summoned a bloodbath in the ancient town."

Chen Xin looked at the ghosts confronting Yang Hu with some surprise. Even Brother Chicken had never received this treatment before.

"Could that tiger's roar contain a meaning I'm unaware of? A provocation? Or a declaration of its sovereignty?"

Chen Xin became interested.

Among these ghosts, the oil-paper umbrella and faceless woman are numerous, but most of them are malevolent. There are only seven or eight blood-related monsters. If they were to face a Yama-level monster like Ai Hu, they would be no match at all.

However, if you add those six four-meter-tall, blood-eyed stone statues resembling wrathful Vajras, then they really can be treated as Black Abyss-level ghosts.

As for the woman with long hair who arrived last, although she was alone, she was the closest ghost to the Black Abyss. She was the one who killed Brother Chicken in one glance when Chen Xin first entered the photo.

In this way, what Ai Hu is facing now is not so much two Black Abysses, but it can be considered one and a half Black Abysses.

While Chen Xin was analyzing the situation, the process had already begun over there.

The first to make a move was not Yang Hu, but the long-haired woman who arrived last.

After her hair fell silently, her blood-red eyes were revealed.

Compared to the woman with flowing hair, the bloodlust in the eyes of the six stone statues was much weaker.

Standing in the 'audience seats', and with Chen Xin's own strength and the net covering half of his face, Chen Xin saw the long-haired woman's attack method.

It wasn't the hair, but those eyes!
Through the sieve's vision, Chen Xin saw countless threads shooting out from the woman with disheveled hair's eyes. These threads intertwined and rushed straight towards Yang Hu. However, in the real vision of Chen Xin's other exposed eye, there was no visible scene between the woman with disheveled hair and Yang Hu.

However, even with Chen Xin's seventh version of the exercise, one could still sense the danger in that area.

Just as the threads were about to hit Yang Hu, Chen Xin saw a glimmer of light, a light emanating from Yang Hu's eyes.

After that ray of light appeared, it completely dissolved the loose threads that the woman with long hair had shot out, leaving only the tangled threads still resisting, seemingly locked in a stalemate.

But at that moment, Yang Hu moved, walking step by step toward the woman with disheveled hair.

As it walked, a tiger's might seemed to emanate from the light in its eyes.

The tangled threads shooting from the long-haired woman's eyes finally gave way under this enhancement and began to retreat towards her.

It was clear to the naked eye that if Yang Hu took just a few more steps, the light in his eyes would reach the woman with disheveled hair.

Whether it was a matter of mutual dependence or a sense that Yang Hu was not someone to be trifled with, the faceless woman and the blood-eyed statue, who had been observing the battle from the sidelines, also made a move.

The faceless woman's oil-paper umbrella, carrying streams of black water, shot towards Yang Hu's waist. Due to their size, the six stone statues could only follow one after another, raising their red-glowing fists to smash towards Yang Hu's buttocks.

Just as Yang Hu was about to be attacked from three sides, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from his throat.

A surge of energy erupted from Yang Hu's body, momentarily blocking the attacks from the faceless woman and the stone statue. Before they could strike again, a burst of energy surged from Yang Hu's body.

The aura was like compressed flames suddenly released, bursting forth and engulfing an area of ​​about 100 meters in radius.

The heatwave even reached Chen Xin's location, which was 200 meters away.

When the flames subsided, only two figures remained in the arena.

Yang Hu, and the disheveled woman who was trampled under Yang Hu's feet.

Click!

The tiger's claws descended, crushing the long-haired woman to pieces, which then vanished into thin air.

Chen Xin didn't know what "looking down on someone" meant before, but after seeing Yang Hu's last remaining figure in the arena, he understood the word.

Seeing Yang Hu's condition, Chen Xin simply took off the tiger-shaped amulet from his waist and hung it on the door next to him.

Previously, Chen Xin had planned to create some medicine to ward off evil spirits in the ancient town and then let the 'house spirit' descend to eliminate the ghosts. Now, however, he has simply placed Ai Hu here.

With Ai Hu's combat power, he is already invincible in this Yin-Yang region.

In addition, with the [dispelling evil] effect of the tiger itself, it shouldn't be long before there are not many ghosts in this dark area.

"Huh? No!"

Chen Xin suddenly thought of the issue of merging the Yin-Yang region.

Immediately, he took the Tiger to the other side of the ancient town and used the Tiger's range to reveal the location of the ancestral hall where the Blood-Eyed Stone Statue was kept before stopping.

In this way, the entire Yin-Yang region would not be free of bloodshed, thus preventing the Yin-Yang region from being merged.

After doing all this, Chen Xin left the ancient town.

After returning to his room in the mortal world, Chen Xin pondered the gains and losses of this experience.

Overall, Ai Hu's situation is somewhat different from the 'deterrence' Chen Xin wanted, but if he really wanted to use it, Ai Hu's [dispelling evil] would still meet Chen Xin's requirements.

"I don't know if the Ghost Gate Pass I've created can inherit the effects of Ai Hu's [Dispelling Evil], so one Ai Hu isn't enough. I need to create another talisman with a deterrent effect. I'll incorporate the effects of both talismans into the story, which will increase the chances of success."

As Chen Xin was about to continue searching for materials for new town items, he discovered that Ai Hu had been activated in another location.

With a thought, Chen Xin saw what was happening over there.

A wandering spirit was destroyed by Ai Hu.

After reviewing the entire process, Chen Xin seemed to realize something. He immediately opened the post where he created Ai Hu, scrolled to the comments section, and saw the latest comments. He suddenly understood.

"So it's been a week and the original poster didn't create Ai Hu, but someone else did?"

Just as Chen Xin was marveling at the good luck of the user named "White Snowflake," another reply appeared in the comments section.

It was the same user who had previously distrusted AiHu.

However, his reply at this moment was quite interesting; his tone was as if he had become a completely different person.
