I become a god in another world

Chapter 23
Chapter 23

Ghost fog is now appearing in Wan'an County.

Fan Bisheng himself said that once the ghost mist comes out, the chance of giving birth to a powerful ghost is greatly increased - the fact that the Zhao couple both revived confirmed this.

However, Wan'an County's Demon Suppressing Division was not filled with talented people back then.

Today, the Demon Suppressing Division has been defeated. If you don't include Zhang Chuanshi, who was forcibly recruited by her today to make up for the loss, there are only three people.

Zhao Fusheng gave the order at the critical moment, and the Fan brothers were just envoys. The most important thing was that they were still focused on running away.

This place was abandoned by the imperial court again. As usual, the Chengxi Cemetery was supposed to be marked by general-level dignitaries to restrain the resurgence of ghosts. Now it is no longer there.

"What will happen if the evil ghost in Xicheng Cemetery revives?" Zhao Fusheng looked a little ugly.

Fan Bisheng didn't answer, but he thought: If the situation wasn't critical, how could our brothers want to run away?
He didn't say this out loud, but Zhao Fusheng could still see what he was thinking in his eyes.

Her gaze made Fan Bisheng feel a little uneasy. He turned his head away, not daring to express his thoughts. He endured it for a while and comforted her:

"Don't worry. When Zhao Qiming came last year, he was accompanied by General Zhou Cong. At that time, he strengthened the ghost seal. It was August and a half, and there was still more than a month left in the year."

"..."

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he felt even more uneasy.

"What should we do after one month?"

Fan Bisheng didn't know how to answer, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

"Are there any signs of the ghost's resurrection among people who have been dead for many years?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

Fan Bi died and said:
"We brothers have been in the Demon Suppression Division for many years, and we have never heard of such a thing before..."

He thought that Zhao Fusheng would ask about Xicheng Cemetery again, but unexpectedly, after he said this, Zhao Fusheng changed the subject:
"Have your brothers been in the Demon Suppression Division for a long time?"

Her mind was active and her thoughts were out of the ordinary, and her questions were all about one thing or another. It was completely unexpected by Fan Bisei. He was not prepared at all, and many things were unintentionally revealed by her.

This feeling of losing control made him a little uneasy, but fortunately, the question Zhao Fusheng asked was not a secret.

If she is willing in the future, she can ask this question just by asking.

He didn't want to hide anything and responded:
"Our brothers have been in the Demon Suppression Division for nearly 19 years..."

After saying this, Fan Bisheng was keenly aware that Zhao Fusheng's eyes had changed.

"No wonder you are so familiar with many things." Zhao Fusheng nodded slightly and finally asked:
"I looked at some files in the wing and selected some ghost cases. I found that, as you said, there are many dangers in the process of investigating ghost cases, and the chance of death is particularly high."

When she said this, Fan Bisheng was shocked. He looked up at Zhao Fusheng almost in surprise, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Jiumen Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Wan'an County. Most of the people in the village are tenant farmers and live in poverty.

The Zhao family has been poor for generations and has no rice to cook with. Otherwise, they would not have sold their daughter at an extremely low price.

Living in such an environment, Zhao Fusheng originally had low knowledge and was probably illiterate.

When she mentioned files and files today and asked about the case at Liu's ancestral hall 40 years ago, Fan Bisheng pointed out the location of the wing where the files were stacked. His original intention was to make things difficult for her, but he did not expect that not only did she actually check it, but also that He also revealed that he really understood the words on these files.

You must know that at this time, books were precious and there were very few scholars. Among the successive chiefs of the Lingsi who controlled ghosts, there were many people who could not read and write. Therefore, when Wan'an County Town Demon Division was powerful, the government office was specially equipped for the Lingsi. The position of master is to transcribe the case history for the commander-in-chief and then report it to the court.

"Although I haven't seen the list of magistrates in Wan'an County in recent years, I flipped through some at random and found that the turnover of the list of magistrates is particularly high. In the past records of the deceased, most of them served for one and a half years."

Zhao Fusheng noticed Fan Bisheng's suspicion, but she did not hide her intentions.

For her, the most important thing right now is to seize the time to get more information and save her life.

As for Fan Bi's suspicion, it was nothing more than an irrelevant matter to her.

As she controls ghosts, the attitude of the two brothers towards her changes drastically. It can be seen that in this world, the strong is respected. As long as she is alive and strong, what if the two brothers doubt her?

"...Yes." Fan Bisheng hesitated for a moment, finally suppressed his doubts and nodded:

"Normally, this is the case, but our situation is special."

"Wait." Zhao Fusheng suddenly remembered something:
"19 years ago? If I remember correctly, you said this morning that 19 years ago, the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Division was named Zhao Duan——"

Fan Bisheng had sweat on his forehead, and he became even more wary of Zhao Fusheng.

She is completely different from the previous Zhao Fusheng. She is cautious and responsive. She remembers everything she has said in her heart and compares it repeatedly. It is really terrifying.

"Yes, we were adopted by Zhao Duan and brought into the Demon Suppression Division." He admitted helplessly.

"Hmm." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

19 years ago, Zhao Duan adopted these twin brothers and brought them into the Demon Suppression Division. No wonder the two brothers looked a little weird when they mentioned Zhao Qiming before.

"Even if there was such a relationship, Zhao Duan died not long after he took charge of the Wan'an County Demon Division."

Logically speaking, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.

After Zhao Duan dies, the next person to succeed him will naturally not care about his interpersonal relationships.Even if the death rate of the commanders and envoys of the Demon Suppressing Division is high and everyone is dying, they are deeply afraid that after their death, their wives, family members, and children will be left without anyone to take care of them, so they are willing to take care of them - but Zhao Duan like the Fan brothers Why can the adopted child grow up safely and stay in the Demon-Suppressing Division for 19 years?

I don't know how many commander-in-chiefs Zhao Duan had after that. Even if he had left some affection, all these years had long been wasted.

What's more, Fan Bisheng himself said that most of the people in charge of the order are those who control ghosts. These people are accompanied by ghosts, and their temperaments have long been affected by the ghosts. They have become gloomy, violent, cruel, and extremely difficult to get along with.

With the death rate of the envoys being extremely high and the Demon Suppressing Division being short of manpower all year round, how could the two Fan Bisheng brothers survive smoothly?

However, the names of these two brothers do exist in the soul book, and this cannot be faked.

There was suspicion in Zhao Fusheng's eyes, and Fan Bisheng suppressed the growing irritability in his heart and replied:
"Yes, after we were adopted by Zhao Duan, we were only registered in the Demon Suppressing Division, but we did not stay in the Demon Suppressing Division. He made arrangements for us before his death and sent us to the Zhao family. We have been adopted since childhood. Brother Qiming took care of him and brought him up."

"A year ago, Brother Qiming took us to Wan'an County after receiving a transfer from the imperial court." Fan Bisheng said calmly.

In the end, Zhao Qiming died, and the evil ghost in his body lost control, but the two brothers have survived to this day.

After figuring out the cause of the incident, Zhao Fusheng had new doubts in his heart.

Fan Bisheng's eyes were already very guarded. He was guessing what Zhao Fusheng was going to ask next. While he was organizing his words and thinking about how to respond to her question, Zhao Fusheng changed the subject:
"Brother Fan—"

Fan Bisheng's body stiffened and he was about to speak, but she said:

"The cemetery mark in Wan'an County is not very stable now. My parents' corpses have shown signs of the resurgence of evil spirits. If they are buried in the cemetery, will it cause unrest?"

"..." Fan Bishi racked his brains and thought about many questions, but he didn't expect that she would ask about his brother's life story for a long time, and then change the topic to the cemetery again.

It was as if he was setting up defenses in a big way, but Zhao Fusheng just fired a feint and left.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the feeling of depression in his heart, and after a while he forced out a smile:
"Maybe there will be no problem for the time being——"

"After all, he is a resurrected evil ghost. Although he has been temporarily suppressed by me, it is not safe." Zhao Fusheng waved his hand, interrupted him, and then asked:
"You want to go to Baozhi County. Considering that the Book of Souls cannot escape the supervision of ghosts for a long time, Baozhi County must be not far away, right?"

When she asked this question, Fan Bisheng's heart suddenly went off and he blurted out:

"What do you want to do?"

As soon as he finished asking, he saw Zhao Fusheng pursed his lips and smiled, and he suddenly felt annoyed.

The two exchanged words. She was calm and collected, but he lost control of his emotions and fell behind.

"Why are you asking Baozhi County?" Fan Bisheng suppressed his uneasiness, then adjusted his tone and asked again.

"Oh, that's it." Zhao Fusheng said with a smile:

"You also said that evil ghosts cannot be killed. There are only two ways, to drive them away or to temporarily suppress them and put them into a 'sleeping' state."

Fan Bisheng moved his shoulders uneasily, swallowed, and nodded with difficulty.

"Then I'm thinking that Baozhi County is worthy of your defection. You also mentioned that there is a general named Zheng Fuling who has commanded a ferocious ghost..." After saying that, she turned to look at Fan Bisei and smiled: "I should Did you hear that correctly?”

She did hear it!

No matter how smart Fan Bisheng was, with extraordinary reflexes, he was confused when he was questioned repeatedly by her.

The two brothers thought she was dead and were discussing their future in the Demon Suppression Division. What they said at that time fell into her ears.

"We were just talking casually..." he said with difficulty.

"Don't panic, Brother Fan." Zhao Fusheng reached out and patted his arm.

Fan Bi died as if he were encountering a fierce ghost, his body trembled, and he subconsciously stepped back a few steps, widening the distance between the two parties.

"I don't mean to blame you. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Wan'an County can't survive before. It's not your fault that you want to leave." Zhao Fusheng ignored Fan Bisheng's fear. Smiling very gently:

"But things are different now."

"..." The Fan brothers looked at each other with numb expressions on their faces.

"Now that Wan'an County Town Demon Commander has me, you naturally can't leave. But Deputy Commander Zheng from Baozhi County is not very kind. He is in Baozhi County and is not satisfied with the attention of the court. He also wants to poach me." Zhao Fusheng He snorted coldly:
"I am the most petty person, and I have to avenge this."

Fan Bisheng always felt that what she said was meant for him. Just when he was trembling with fear, she continued:
"I'm thinking about the corpses of my parents turning into ghosts. Even if they are temporarily suppressed, it's not safe to bury them in the cemetery."

"We are in a troubled time in Wan'an County. Originally, there was a backlog of cases involving Li Gui and there were few manpower. The court is still ignoring it for the time being..."

"What do you want to do?" The more Fan Bisheng heard, the more something was wrong. His eyelids kept beating, and a bad premonition came into his heart.

Zhao Fusheng said seriously:

"I think Baozhi County is a big place and Deputy Ling Zheng is very capable. It would be better to temporarily carry my parents to Baozhi County and bury them in their cemetery. Even if the evil ghost wakes up again, I think it will be foolproof if a master like Deputy Ling Zheng takes action. of."

Fan Bisheng was speechless, and the rest of the corpse bearers were also worried. Zhao Fusheng said again:
"Even if Vice Ling Zheng can't stand it, isn't there still the imperial court cleaning up the aftermath?"

"..."
