I become a god in another world

Chapter 273 The Ghost Disaster is Coming (6K Update)

Chapter 273

This time when the Xu family opened their house, all the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau came, and they rode in three carriages in total.

When several carriages drove into the alley, Xu Yachen's face turned red with excitement.

This is a great honor for him.

The vehicle soon stopped in front of Xu's house. Zhao Fusheng got off first, followed by Kuai Manzhou, Meng Po, Wu Shaochun, Zhang Chuanshi and others.

Liu Yizhen carried the coffin and got off the car last.

His image looks very cautious.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the black coffin was unusual, and some people who knew the situation understood that it contained a ghost. However, the people from the Demon Suppression Division were used to it and did not avoid him. Moreover, although he had a cold expression, he was not irritable or sinister. Therefore, when other gentry saw him carrying the coffin, they not only did not feel frightened, but they even felt a sense of pride in their hearts.

Nowadays, there are not many emissaries in Wan'an County's Demon Suppression Bureau - even now, compared with the neighboring Baozhi County, the number of emissaries in Wan'an County is still small.

However, when it comes to the strength of the envoy, not to mention the magistrate Bao, even the prefectures and counties are not enough.

Wan'an County was in a state of disrepair, and the Demon Suppression Division was nearly wiped out by evil spirits. Having experienced the disaster from evil spirits, people in the county were in a state of panic - in such a situation, Zhao Fusheng did not hide too much of his strength.

Whether it was Kuai Manzhou's joining or Zhang Chuanshi's controlling of a very evil creature, County Magistrate Pang and others knew it clearly.

Afterwards, Wu Shaochun controlled the ghost, and Liu Yizhen and Meng Po entered one after another, and everyone saw it.

These people are not ordinary people.

The weirder and scarier Liu Yizhen looks when he carries the ghost coffin, the safer the people of Wan'an County will feel as long as Zhao Fusheng is still around.

"My lord is here."

County Magistrate Pang stepped forward, saluted Zhao Fusheng first, and then greeted the others.

Except for Kuai Manzhou who rarely responded to other people, the others all nodded to him in return.

Then Xu Yachen and others came forward.

"It is an honor for our Xu family to have you come here today—"

Xu Yachen first said a few compliments, then turned his body aside:

"The table has been set up at home. Lord Zhao and the other envoys, please take a seat."

"There's no rush yet."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"Don't eat yet, let's get the business done first."

Although she intended to support Xu Yachen, it was impossible for the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau to stay here for a long time.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yachen's face suddenly showed joy.

Zhao Fusheng once mentioned to the Xu family in Baozhi County that he wanted to put a ghost seal on the Xu family’s new mansion in Wan’an County. However, before the matter was implemented, the Xu family was always uneasy, fearing that the night would bring more troubles.

A few days before the opening of the mansion, although Huang Si was sent to present generous gifts and invite Zhao Fusheng to come, the Xu family was still worried, fearing that Zhao Fusheng would change his mind or make other requests.

Everyone was nervous and didn't know how to start the conversation, but they didn't expect that Zhao Fusheng had already made a request before Xu Yachen did.

"How does this make——"

Xu Yachen suppressed his surprise and pretended to refuse:
"Your Excellency has come from afar and has not even drunk any wine—"

"father--"

When the descendants of the Xu family heard this, they became a little impatient and shouted in unison, with anxiety showing on their faces.

Xu Yachen glared at his sons with disappointment, then turned to Zhao Fusheng and forced a smile.

He was about to speak when he saw Zhao Fusheng smiling and looking towards the door.

"Is it at the main entrance?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Xu Yachen didn't care about being polite at this moment and nodded desperately.

"Please grant me the seal, sir, and also ask the two gate gods to protect me."

His words confirmed the previous speculations of Yu Weide and others.

The old country gentleman was suddenly filled with anger and jealousy.

He was leaning on a crutch, blending into the crowd. He wanted to speak, but he knew that this was not the right time to speak, so he had to suppress his emotions.

Zhao Fusheng nodded to everyone.

Kuai Manzhou held her hand and walked beside her.

The other members of the Demon Suppression Division lagged behind the two of them by half a step, surrounding her from behind.

County Magistrate Pang led Xu Yachen and others to follow her.

The group walked towards the Xu family's gate in a grand manner, attracting people who were donating porridge and water in the distance to turn around and look.

Zhao Fusheng walked to the gate, calmed himself, and activated the List of Gods.

She was ready to summon the ghost seal and brand the place in front of Xu's house.

But when she held the ghost token, Kuai Manzhou gently pulled her hand:

"There are so many people."

The child's words made Zhao Fusheng's heart move.

She paused in her typing.

The Xu family was eagerly waiting for her to brand them, but they saw her suddenly turn around.

"grown ups--"

Xu Yachen stood at the bottom of the stairs. Seeing that she had no intention of taking the next step, he was about to move forward by holding up his clothes in desperation.

Zhao Fusheng did not reply to him, but looked around.

Everyone followed her gaze and saw the Xu family's makeshift porridge stall at the end of the alley in the distance.

Ever since the incident in Wan'an County, wealthy families have fled one after another, and such acts of charity have not been done for a long time except in Beggar Alley.

The Xu family was beating drums and gongs in the county three days ago, and many people from the county came today.

Because a house-opening ceremony was to be held in front of the mansion, a steward of the Xu family pulled the people who were queuing for porridge to the other end.

It was the middle of winter, and many people were dressed in rags, holding various porridge serving utensils in their hands, and looking over here barefoot.

There were even some people who ignored the scolding of the Xu family servants, holding hot porridge, and secretly took two steps towards this side.

"Go, go, go -"

The Xu family’s people shouted.

But it is human nature to love watching the fun.

After getting the porridge, these people did not leave even though the servants in the Xu Mansion scolded them.

Although they were a little frightened when they saw Liu Yizhen carrying the coffin, when they saw so many people gathered in front of the gate of Xu's mansion, these people wanted to squeeze over to get a closer look.

"Brother, who are these people? Is there any important person from Wan'an County coming?"

An elderly man stood on tiptoe and looked for a long time. When the servant of Xu's mansion came to chase them away, he couldn't help but grab his hand and asked a question.

"You old man—"

The servant withdrew his hand immediately after being grabbed by him.

The opening of the Xu Mansion today is a big event, and Zhao Fusheng has promised to put up a ghost seal of protection for the Xu Mansion. Xu Yachen attaches great importance to this, so he made an exception and paid for new clothes for everyone in the mansion. Everyone is dressed very smartly today.

But the recipients of the charity are not so particular.

The servant's sleeve was grabbed by someone, leaving several fingerprints, and he immediately became angry.

He wanted to get angry.

But today is a big wedding for the Xu family, and all the important people in the county are gathered here. If he causes trouble, Xu Yachen will not forgive him afterwards.

Thinking of this, the servant suppressed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth and said with a gloomy face:

"My Xu family is opening its doors today, and the master has invited several masters from the Demon Suppression Division to come and celebrate—" After saying that, he complained again:

"Just keep talking, old man. Why are you grabbing my clothes?" Then he slapped his sleeves hard.

The old man took a half step back timidly, and smiled awkwardly when he saw the fingerprints on his clothes.

While the two were talking, many people behind them who had received the porridge did not leave, but looked over here.

"Master from the Demon Suppression Division? Isn't that for catching ghosts?"

"Who is the master of the Demon Suppression Department?"

"Is the Xu family haunted?"

Everyone was talking about it.

……

Zhao Fusheng originally planned to end the battle quickly, take down the Xu family's ghost seal and leave.

But seeing more and more people gathering outside the Xu family, an idea suddenly came to her mind.

Her List of Gods has only opened one deity position and she has only invited a door god. Currently, the door god has 7 incense sticks and 52 believers.

The Investiture of the Gods only told her that when the incense burner value reached 10 points, the door god would undergo a mutation, but it did not mention what role believers played in relation to ghosts and gods.

Now that the Xu Mansion has opened its doors, many people have come. Those who have witnessed the power of ghosts and gods with their own eyes and have been frightened by it are very likely to become believers of the door god.

Although she didn't know what the believers were for, it was better to have them than nothing.

Since she is here today, she might as well take this opportunity to perform.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng looked at Kuai Manzhou with a smile on his face:
"Man Zhou——"

She spoke a few words softly and the child nodded.

The interaction between the two people aroused suspicion among Fan Bisi and others. When everyone was puzzled, they felt a sudden chill around them.

The sky was clear earlier, but suddenly a strong wind blew.

The cold wind blew the clouds in, blocking the sky above Xu’s residence.

Suddenly, red mist rolled up under Zhao Fusheng's feet, and strange ghost flowers bloomed.

Among the ghost flowers, the shadows of the ghost villagers of Kuailiang Village flashed one by one and lined up behind Zhao Fusheng.

"Ah——" This sudden change frightened all the gentry and merchants.

Fortunately, those who dared to stay in Wan'an County at this time had been screened after experiencing several ghost cases, and they were all very courageous.

When Xu Yachen saw the group of ghosts appear, he was also frightened, but he had witnessed Zhao Fusheng subduing two ghosts with his own eyes in Ding'an Tower in Bao County that day. When he saw the group of ghosts appear, he first turned to look at Pang County and others, but saw that although Pang County's face was pale and his legs were shaking, his back was straight and he stood there without moving.

Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division looked normal - that is, the situation was not out of control.

"father--"

Xu Yachen's sons huddled together, shivering, and leaned against Xu Yachen.

"Don't talk yet."

Xu Yachen tried to remain calm and comfort his son.

Liu Yizhen felt a little strange at first, but after thinking about it, he guessed Zhao Fusheng's plan and couldn't help but smile.

"Today, the Xu Mansion is open to the public. Please invite the door gods to come and protect the Xu family and keep the peace in the house!"

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, the ghost fog dissipated.

The beggar ghost and the evil ghost who gave first and took later transformed into shadows in an extremely strange way and crawled at her feet, then stood up with a twisted look and appeared behind her.

As soon as the two ghosts appeared, the gate of Xu Mansion, which was already filled with an eerie atmosphere due to the appearance of the villagers from the ghost village, became like a ghost zone.

At this time, the sky above Xu's house was covered with dark clouds, and the wind was blowing, which looked particularly terrifying. The people who had wanted to come over to watch the excitement before changed their faces when they saw this scene.

Zhao Fusheng did not let this scene of ghosts appearing in the world last too long.

She winked at Kuai Manzhou, then held the Ghost and God Order in her hand and branded it in the center of the gate of Xu's mansion.

The moment the ghost seal touched the vermilion double door, the evil spirit of the two ghosts turned into blood light and disappeared into the door.

As the door gods moved in, all the evil spirits instantly became dormant.

The beggar ghosts and the evil ghosts who gave first and took later were suppressed by Zhao Fusheng. The blooming ghost flowers withered, and the ghosts in the flowers disappeared in an instant.

As soon as the ghosts disappeared, the evil wind stopped immediately.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed and the winter sun shone again.

"..."

Those who had not had time to scream only saw the red light flashing at the gate of Xu's mansion, as if everything that had happened before was just a nightmare.

Then Zhao Fusheng said loudly:
"The Xu family is guarded by a door god, and from now on, no ghosts can enter!"

The Xu family, who were originally extremely frightened, quickly turned pale when they heard this.

Xu Yachen was still trembling from the ghosts he had seen earlier, but when he heard what Zhao Fusheng said, he stood up straight and shouted loudly:

"Thank you, sir, for blessing my Xu family with the door god!"

After he finished shouting, he turned around and instructed Huang Si:
"Today is a great day, I will immediately move the money to distribute, whoever sees it will get a share - quickly, quickly -"

County Magistrate Pang and others came forward to congratulate them, and Yu Weide also came over, trying to suppress his envy.

……

The crowd, who were originally frightened by the appearance of the ghosts, quickly became active again and surrounded Xu Yachen and the people from the Demon Suppression Division.

"Sir, my Yu family is also loyal to you--"

Yu Weide thought of the previous situation in Xu's house, and finally couldn't hold back and started to pray:
"Ever since the incident in Wan'an County, I have been loyal to the Demon Suppression Department of the county government. When you took control of the Demon Suppression Department, I knew that you were an extraordinary person—"

He coveted this ghost seal.

During the ghost mausoleum incident that day, he was marked by an evil spirit and nearly died in the ghost disaster.

It was Zhao Fusheng who arrived at the Ghost Tomb in time and used the door god's mark to suppress the revived evil ghost, thus saving his life.

Yu Weide knew that the evil spirits dared not abuse their power, fearing that borrowing too much power from ghosts would lead to the revival of the evil spirits, so he never dared to imagine that Zhao Fusheng would put a ghost seal on the gate of the Yu family mansion.

When Zhao Fusheng was printing for the county government before, he could still comfort himself. After all, County Magistrate Pang was the lord of the county and had always been loyal to Zhao Fusheng and always worked at his beck and call. In addition, the existence of the government office was very important, so it was okay for the county government to put a ghost seal on it. He could still understand it.

But when he found out that Xu Yachen's family was also able to cast the ghost seal, Yu Weide suddenly felt unbalanced.

The magistrate's order could be said to be for public rather than private purposes, but the Xu family was a private family.

In terms of who came first, Yu Weide knew Zhao Fusheng first. If he hadn't acted as a middleman, Xu Yachen would never have moved to Wan'an County.

If the Xu family has the qualifications to print, then he should have it too.

If the Yu family were protected by the ghost seal, the whole mansion would not have to fear ordinary ghost disasters - even if a disaster like the Ghost Tomb broke out again, the family members would not be marked by evil spirits.

Thinking of this, Yu Weide almost cried:

"My Lord, I would like to donate money——"

"Don't be impatient."

While Zhao Fusheng was comforting him, the Conferred God List in his sea of ​​consciousness kept sending reminders: Door God's believers +1——

The number of Gate God’s followers increases!
In a short while, the number of Door God's believers increased to 36.

This is just the beginning.

The news that she had printed the door god's 'magical power' for the Xu family in public today would spread quickly, and after she later stamped ghost seals on the residences of Yu Weide and others, the existence of the door god would be heard by ordinary people.

After all, the gentry and merchants in the county are only a minority.

The people are the majority.

Once the number of people worshipping the Door God increases, the Door God's believers will truly grow.

When she thought about the future, a smile appeared on her face.

At this time, Yu Weide was about to cry.

"Sir, I am willing to give most of my wealth—"

"You think too much."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head.

At this time, many people surrounded her, all wanting to ask for the door god's mark. This was not the time for her to be distracted and think about other things.

She suppressed her distracting thoughts, looked at Yu Weide and said:

"You are loyal to Wan'an County, so you deserve the protection of the gate god." She said with a smile:

"After this matter is settled, I will also go to the Yu family and make sure that your family is not tormented by ghost disasters."

"it is good!"

Yu Weide had already prepared himself mentally to invest half of the Yu family's assets, but before he could even say a word, Zhao Fusheng readily agreed to his request.

"Master Yu has lived in Wan'an County for many years, right?"

Zhang Chuanshi at the side suddenly spoke.

"Yes."

Yu Wei De's feet were light at this time, and when he heard someone talking, he nodded subconsciously.

"I moved to Wan'an County with my family when Wang Sanbian was a master. It has been quite a few years now."

He had lived there for a long time and had experienced Wan'an County's decline from prosperity. Plus, he was old, so he was reluctant to move away. At the last moment, he waited for Zhao Fusheng to come, and his old age was finally secured.

"The adults in our family are much easier to talk to than other adults," said Zhang Chuanshi.

"Yes." Yu Weide nodded:

"Your Excellency is kind and righteous, and you are particularly considerate to us. It is a blessing for Wan'an County to have you here!"

When he said this before, it was somewhat of a compliment.

When I said this at this time, it was from the heart, without any exaggeration.

"The Lord does not take your money, that is a sign of His noble character."

Zhang Chuanshi followed the others into the courtyard and saw several sets of tables and chairs placed in the courtyard. The tables were filled with fruits and other things. He grabbed a handful of peanuts from a table and held them in his hand. While peeling them, he said to Wade:

"But you can't just not say nothing. The Lord is going to tear down the Confucius Temple and rebuild the market in the area of ​​Beggar's Alley. You have to support the Lord."

"That's definitely--"

Yu Weide agreed without hesitation, and then realized belatedly:

"Beggar's Alley? Confucius Temple?"

After saying this, he hesitated:

"Didn't a ghost disaster happen there?"

‘Tsk. ’

Zhang Chuanshi rolled his eyes in surprise and his beard trembled.

He moved his head to the side and glared at Yu Weide:
"So what if there was a ghost disaster? The Han Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years. In our small place like Wan'an County, ghost disasters have happened everywhere."

"So many people have died. Maybe in the past, the land we stand on was still a pile of graves." He threw the peeled peanuts into his mouth:
"There was a ghost disaster at Confucius Temple, but the adults solved it long ago. To be honest, the ghost was subdued by the adults a long time ago. It is much safer than other places."

Zhang Chuanshi is fooling people.

Yu Weide had full faith in Zhao Fusheng's ability, and believed it immediately after hearing it:

"Master Zhang is right. If that's the case, I will definitely help with the city block. Once it's completed, my Yu family will be the first to move in."

"now it's right--"

Zhang Chuanshi patted the old squire's hand and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhao Fusheng listened to the two people talking but did not interrupt.

Zhang Chuanshi had been doing business for a long time. Although he was in the coffin business, he still had the qualities of a businessman and would not suffer any loss.

The old man had become much more honest after being scolded by her about the paper man Zhang incident, so it was appropriate for him to discuss matters like this.

In addition to Zhang Chuanshi, Fan Bisi also unobtrusively attracted the attention of everyone surrounding Zhao Fusheng.

Before coming, Zhao Fusheng revealed her plan to the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau. She planned to place ghost seals on two more families after the Xu family.

One of them was Yu Wei De, and the other family with the ghost seal was selected by Fan Bi Si.

He had dealt with these people in Wan'an County a lot in the past, so he knew who should be given this ghost seal first.

After Fan Bi Si revealed this information, the gentry surrounding Zhao Fusheng quickly dispersed and entangled other people from the Demon Suppression Division.

Apart from Liu Yizhen, who was carrying a coffin and made people stop in their tracks, no one dared to approach Kuai Manzhou - many people present had witnessed with their own eyes how she welcomed Zheng He, who had come to seek refuge with Zhao Fusheng.

In this way, the two of them had some free time and stood beside Zhao Fusheng respectively.

"This is such a boring occasion."

Liu Yizhen looked at his colleagues who were surrounded by people in the distance and shook his head.

When these people saw the Xu family printing and Yu Weide getting the promise, they were unwilling to fall behind and scrambled to please the people from the Demon Suppression Division. Even Meng Po, who had just joined the Demon Suppression Division, was surrounded by people.

"What kind of things are interesting?" Zhao Fusheng laughed.

She was in a good mood today and spoke in a gentle tone:

"Most of the time when there are no ghost cases is spent like this—"

Before she finished her words, she saw a policeman hurried in from outside the gate of Xu's mansion, with an anxious look on his face, searching the crowd with his eyes.

At this time, the presence of the Demon Suppression Bureau in the Xu Mansion was too eye-catching.

Especially Liu Yizhen who was carrying a huge black coffin.

Wherever he stood, it was hard to ignore him.

The anxious officer glanced around the courtyard, and when he saw Liu Yizhen, he naturally saw Zhao Fusheng standing next to him, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Zhao Fusheng sighed:
"Your mouth looks like it has been blessed."

Trouble is coming.

"..."

Liu Yizhen, who originally wanted to speak, also saw the arrival of the officers, and his face gradually became serious.

The officer's gaze passed through him and fell on Zhao Fusheng.

The man was wearing the official uniform of the yamen and was a man of Magistrate Pang. If he just had chores or trivial matters within the county, he should have gone to Magistrate Pang.

But when he saw Zhao Fusheng, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had found his backbone, and his eyes no longer searched for the whereabouts of County Magistrate Pang.

Combined with the panic in his eyes and face when he appeared, Liu Yizhen also sighed:

"Something bad has happened."

Ever since the ghost disaster in Fengmen Village ended, not counting the time when Meng Po joined the Demon Suppression Bureau and later dealt with the incident in Confucius Temple, Wan'an County has been peaceful for a month.

Zhao Fusheng's eyes gradually became bright and sharp. He stood up from his seat, turned his neck, stretched his muscles, and heard Liu Yizhen's words. Not only was he not afraid, but he was excited:
"Then we should put an end to the ghost disaster as soon as possible."

Important words first: there will be an update today.

I've been a bit busy lately, and I've been feeling a bit down, so I haven't been able to get back into shape. Plus, it's part of the daily plot, so the overall progress is not great.

During this period of time, I have been adjusting myself and trying hard to change my state, so I will add another chapter today. Thank you for your continued support, and I will also move on to the transition chapter~~~
Just right for everyone to eat with zongzi~~~
