I become a god in another world

Chapter 255 Man-made ghosts
Chapter 255

"..."

Fan Bisheng fell into silence when he heard his brother's words.

The two are brothers, and he actually knows best what Fan Wujiu is thinking.

Fan Wujiu has been secretly regretting his loss since Zhao Fusheng returned from Fengmen Village and mentioned that Wu Shaochun had obtained the ghost seal of the door god and succeeded in controlling the ghost by mistake.

But the two brothers' long-cherished wish was not to really control ghosts, but to live well.

Fan Wujiu was cowardly and afraid of ghosts. The two of them obeyed Zhao Fusheng and stayed in Wan'an County that day, originally to save their lives - when did Fan Wujiu change his mind?
Was it after witnessing Zhao Fusheng pardoning the door god, or after he went to Kuai Liang Village with the adults and witnessed Zhang Chuanshi possessing something very dangerous?

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Fan Wujiu suddenly became anxious and couldn't help but push his arm:
"elder brother--"

Fan Bisheng did not express his position for a long time, but Zhao Fusheng started to do it later.

"There is no help. Sir, let us call Magistrate Pang——"

Fan Bisheng wanted to persuade his brother to change his mind, but Fan Wujiu shook his head:

"Just explain the reason clearly to them." He said disapprovingly:
"It's just a red moon. Although I don't know why it appears, my lord has solved the problem and the moon is no longer red."

What's more, the Demon Suppression Division suddenly held a meeting tonight to discuss the Red Moon Incident.

Rather than stay here and talk nonsense with these people, it is better to listen to what Zhao Fusheng and the others have to say.

"I want to go there too," he said.

"But, but--" The more you know, the more dangerous it is.

Before Fan Bisei could finish his words, Fan Wujiu said in despair:

"How many people are there in the Demon Suppression Department now? I won't talk about Po Meng. Anyway, you have your own reasons for recruiting an old woman into the department."

Liu Yizhen and the Fan brothers were not familiar with each other, but as the "elders" of the Demon Suppression Department, the two knew clearly that there were two big ghosts in the Confucius Temple.

As the ghost keeper who guards the two ghosts, Liu Yizhen also has two skills.

"Manzhou is the youngest, but she controls her mother, her uncles, and her men. Her strength is superb. You can see it, brother."

Fan Wujiu said dissatisfied:

"The most disgusting thing is Lao Zhang. He used to be just a lackey of paper man Zhang. He entered the Demon City later than the two of us. But he is so eloquent that he coaxed the adults to give him a ghost seal. He was supposed to be a bastard, but now he is also a bastard. Used something very dangerous.”

'Ugh--'

He let out a long sigh.

If that's all, forget it, "Now even Shaochun has a ghost mark and can control ghosts."

There are eight people in total in the Demon Suppression Division. "Deputy Commander Zheng has a ghost. The only ones who haven't controlled the ghost yet are Gu Jiansheng and us——"

The two brothers were the first to follow Zhao Fusheng. Now they have been hanging out for half a year, but they have nowhere to go.

"elder brother!"

Fan Wujiu had a pleading look on his face:

"I want to go too."

Fan Bisheng discovered that his brother's mind had changed unknowingly.

His fear of ghosts and death seems to be diminishing, his willingness to participate in ghost cases is increasing, and he even has a faint sense of competition among the envoys.

This change made Fan Bisei feel a little uneasy.

……

At the same time, in the east wing of the Zhenmo Division, the first meeting since the reorganization of the Zhenmo Division began.

When Zhao Fusheng saw Liu Yizhen being carried into the house, he couldn't help but grin.

"It seems you suffered a big loss."

Her tone was teasing, which made Liu Yizhen, who was seriously injured and worried, roll his eyes.

——He was worried about Zhao Fusheng earlier, fearing that she would die, but now it seems that he has thought too much.

"The disaster has lasted for thousands of years. My ancestors are sincere and I will not deceive them."

"hey-hey."

Zhao Fusheng laughed twice, walked to the front seat and sat down.

Kuai Manzhou followed her step by step, while Po Meng and Zhang Chuanshi also sat on either side of her head.

Except for Zheng He and Gu Jiansheng who were away from home, only the Fan brothers did not show up for the time being because they wanted to appease everyone.

Zhao Fusheng was about to speak when the sound of soft footsteps suddenly came from outside.

The people present were all extraordinary. Their expressions changed, and even the pale-faced Liu Yizhen turned his head instinctively.

The door to the left side room was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Fan Wujiu poked half of his head out and met several pairs of eyes.

"..."

He originally wanted to sneak in, but he didn't expect that his arrival would have attracted everyone's attention. Now that everyone was staring at him, he simply opened the door generously and walked into the wing in a swaggering manner:

"I'm not late, am I?"

Zhang Chuanshi shook his head:
"No. But, aren't you and your brother——"

"I am also the envoy of the Demon Suppression Division. In terms of seniority, I am also a veteran. Lao Zhang, you also need to meet me as your second brother. I also want to participate in such a meeting." Fan Wujiu said what he was thinking. say what.

Zhang Chuanshi rolled his eyes strangely and cursed:

"I call you a ghost uncle."

"You can call me uncle if you want -"

Fan Wujiu quarreled with him without any courtesy.

Zhao Fusheng said solemnly: "Okay, when second brother comes, take your seat."

She didn't say anything to chase them away.

Fan Wujiu's face showed joy, his eyes swept around everyone, and finally sat next to Po Meng.

"Meng Po, you are the most kind-hearted, I will be next to you."

"Haha." Po Meng smiled gently and nodded.

Everyone sat down one by one. Zhao Fusheng then put away his fussy look and said seriously:
"The red moon appears."

"Yes." Liu Yizhen turned pale and nodded.

Mentioning 'Red Moon', everyone's expressions were a little solemn.

Although Fan Wujiu may seem careless on weekdays, after all, he grew up with Zhao Qiming from a ghost-controlling family, and he also knows the legend of the 'Red Moon' very well.

Needless to say, Liu Yizhen is the grandson of Liu Huacheng and he also has a certain understanding of ghosts.

But what makes Zhao Fusheng interesting is Zhang Chuanshi - he seems to also know the legend of the 'Blood Moon', and he is not very afraid of this topic.

Before Zhang Chuanshi joined the Demon Suppression Division, he publicized his relationship with the paper man Zhang as a distant uncle and nephew.

He is just an ordinary person, but he also knows about the 'Blood Moon', which shows that his understanding of ghosts is far better than ordinary people.

The appearance of the blood moon tonight was related to Po Meng. She looked a little embarrassed, smiling and not daring to say anything.

But Kuai Manzhou didn't understand and asked:
"Fusheng, what is the red moon?"

"More than a hundred years ago, someone used the power of ghosts to divine and calculated that a blood moon would appear in the Han Dynasty in the future. Once the blood moon appeared, it would trigger a night march of hundreds of ghosts."

Zhao Fusheng said calmly:
"The imperial court believes that the blood moon will appear in Wan'an County."

Speaking of this, she really admired the Han Dynasty a little more.

These ghost controllers have various powers, and their predictions are quite accurate. If there is a chance in the future, I really want to meet the ghost controllers of the imperial court. "Originally this was a legend, but two ghosts were suppressed in the Confucius Temple. Yizhen, it seems that you suffered a loss at the hands of the ghosts." Zhao Fusheng said.

Liu Yizhen nodded:
"The two ghosts almost recovered."

He spoke in an understatement, but his face was blue, his lips were white, and he smelled faintly of blood. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was in poor condition.

Zhang Chuanshi and Fan Wujiu both changed their expressions after hearing the meaning of his words clearly.

The two ghosts in Confucius Temple are extraordinary. Once they wake up, it will be a big deal.

Zhao Fusheng's expression was calm.

Since Liu Yizhen appears here, it proves that although the two ghosts almost recovered, the incident was successfully calmed down in the end.

Perhaps it was because the blood moon had not appeared for a long time, but Liu Yizhen must have paid a heavy price in order to solve this trouble.

Thinking of this, she asked:

"You are hurt?"

"A little injured." After Liu Yizhen finished speaking, he reached out to touch his collar. With trembling hands, he pulled the clothes apart, and everyone saw the cotton and linen wrapped around his chest.

The bright red blood leached along the cotton and linen. This was the reason why Liu Yizhen's body had a strong smell of blood.

"But I can't die yet." He endured the pain and pulled his clothes back together.

When Po Meng saw this, she became restless and wanted to get up and speak several times. In the end, she didn't know how to speak, so she could only stare at Liu Yizhen guiltily.

Liu Yizhen was a little confused by her look, so he could only nodded to her, and then looked at Zhao Fusheng in confusion.

"Po Meng is now also an envoy of the Demon Suppression Department and a member of the Soul Book of Fate."

Zhao Fusheng's words were beyond Liu Yizhen's expectation, and he was startled after hearing this.

"Mother Meng's situation may be similar to when your grandfather was alive."

Zhao Fusheng explained.

Her words immediately shocked everyone present.

Fan Wujiu, who was sitting comfortably in his position before, seemed to have a nail stuck under his butt. He put his hands on the armrests of the chair several times to get up, but then sat back restlessly.

Because Zhao Fusheng had taken great care of Po Meng before, everyone in the county was familiar with Po Meng's situation.

Everyone in the Demon Suppressing Division knew that she had a lost daughter in her early years.

Zhao Fusheng roughly recounted the news that the Red Shoe Ghost Case in Fengmen Village was suspected to be related to Po Meng’s lost daughter, and finally said: “When I brought up this case, Po Meng triggered the law of evil ghosts, which led to the appearance of the blood moon. "

"The blood moon is actually related to Meng Po!"

Liu Yizhen exclaimed.

He clutched his chest and turned to look at Po Meng with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Po Meng was already very guilty, but now she finally found the opportunity to apologize:

"It's my fault. I didn't expect to end up like this."

"I feel sorry for Yizhen. I have now joined the Demon Suppressing Division. If I have some free time, why not serve Yizhen three meals a day and atone for my sins."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"That's okay too."

When Liu Yizhen heard this and was about to refuse, Zhao Fusheng said:

"Don't hesitate to refuse. In fact, if you don't come to the Demon Suppressing Division today, I'm going to look for you."

Wan'an County Town Demon Division is currently experiencing troubled times.

"You all know about the existence of papier-mâché, right?"

After hearing this, several people nodded.

The smile on Po Meng's face faded:
"Is it, is it Boss Zhang from the paper figurine shop in the city?"

The Zhang family was once very famous in Wan'an County, but this reputation was not a good one, but rather feared.

He often bought large amounts of living men and women.

He was bought as a servant at a low price, and soon the servant disappeared mysteriously.

It is said that the paper figures he made are extraordinary, lifelike, and have a kind of evil power. It is said that they can drive away evil spirits. Therefore, the Zhang family was also popular among the wealthy families in Wan'an County.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, they think Zhang and his son are very strange.

People living near the Zhang Mansion can often smell the strange smell of rotting corpses. Some people say that the Zhang family's mansion is full of corpses.

Someone once used Zhang Xiongwu's reputation to intimidate children.

In the early years, hearing the name 'Zhang Xiongwu' was enough to make a wailing child stop immediately.

At this time, Zhao Fusheng suddenly mentioned the existence of 'paper man Zhang', making everyone look at each other.

At this moment, it was Zhang Chuanshi's turn to fidget and suppress his uncomfortable expression.

"This man is a ghost master. He has been involved in some ghost cases that I know of so far."

Zhao Fusheng stretched out his hand and counted:
"I suspect that he and Zhang Xiongwu may have some purpose. They are consciously collecting dangerous objects and artificially creating ghosts."

"Can the resurrection of the evil ghost be controlled by humans?"

When Fan Wujiu heard this, his hair stood on end. He couldn't help but ask. After asking, he realized that he shouldn't interrupt at this time.

It's a pity that his body's reaction is faster than his brain. Fan Bisheng taught him many times, but he never remembered it in his heart.

After finishing speaking, Fan Wujiu was a little annoyed, but no one in the room yelled at him. Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"Why do ghosts resurrect after death? There was no record of it in the Han Dynasty before."

"Yes." Liu Yizhen also said:

"The resurrection of the evil ghost is random. No one has mastered the rules of the evil ghost's recovery before."

"But the paper man Zhang may have found a trick." Zhao Fusheng said in detail:
"Forty years ago, the ghost coffin that sealed the headless ghost was stolen, causing the headless ghost to resurrect and causing a ghost disaster."

Afterwards, Liu Huacheng dissipated his family wealth to clean up the aftermath, and he changed from a wealthy businessman to a Buddhist temple priest who guarded the Confucius Temple for his whole life. He died and the ghost came back to life decades later.

From this incident alone, Zhang Xiongwu's intervention led to the appearance of three fierce ghosts.

"The stand-in ghost, the beggar ghost, and Liu Huacheng."

Her words made everyone's expressions gradually become serious. Zhang Chuanshi fell into silence, his eyes wandering, biting his nails from time to time, as if he was worried.

"In addition, he also appeared in Kuai Liang Village."

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Liu Yizhen said:
"It's a coincidence."

However, based on these few incidents alone, it may be difficult for people to believe that the paper man Zhang controls the laws that artificially cause the ghost to resurrect.

"Of course it's not just based on these few incidents." Zhao Fusheng said:
"I once asked Mrs. Meng about what happened before and after her daughter disappeared. She once mentioned that on the day Shen Yishu disappeared, in front of the restaurant where the incident occurred, someone saw an old man with white hair wearing a black robe. "

If it were just that, Zhao Fusheng would not dare to conclude that Shen Yishu's disappearance was related to the Zhang family.

"But don't forget. The appearance of the stand-in in Kotou Village."

Everyone is aware of the ghost ghost case in Kotou Village.

It was the first time that Zhang Chuanshi actually participated in handling a ghost case. He witnessed Zhao Fusheng's investigation process from beginning to end, and also learned about the life of the stand-in ghost from the people in the village.

"You mean..." Liu Yizhen showed hesitation in his eyes.

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng seemed to understand what he had not finished speaking and nodded:
"The substitute's biological mother is a kidnapped girl."

Although many years have passed since the incident, the relevant clues have been eliminated one by one (after the substitute ghost Li Gui recovered, he has been killing those who knew about it), making the identity of the girl a mystery.

"But combined with the time, age, and the fact that someone with an extraordinary identity later went to Goutou Village to look for the missing girl, I don't rule out that the biological mother of the double may be another woman who disappeared at the same time as Shen Yishu."
