I become a god in another world

Chapter 304 Testing each other
Chapter 304
Zhao Fusheng swept away the tough and cold attitude he had when he first met the Luo Liu couple, and seemed like a different person, revealing a soft and friendly smile.

Her words indirectly explained the origin of the coffin.

Luo Liu and Sun Sanniang felt relieved.

When he heard that she was from Wan'an County, Luo Liu couldn't help but look up at her:
"Wan'an County? I wonder which family in the county it is? I also walked in the county in my early years."

He acted extremely honest, and even laughed a bit embarrassedly after saying this.

Zhao Fusheng calmly compared the scenes and conversations between his two encounters with the Luo Liu couple, but a curious look appeared on his face:

“We are from the south of the city.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Liu said:
"South of the city? I know there's a beggar's alley over there."

Zhao Fusheng's eyes lit up:
"That's not far away."

"What a coincidence." Luo Liu was delighted when he heard this:

"I don't know which family you are from. Maybe I have dealt with your family in the past."

After saying that, he deliberately asked:

"Are you all from the same family?"

"Yes." Liu Yizhen nodded.

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly, his eyes twinkled, and asked:

"After all this talk, where are you two? Where are you from?"

After she asked, she pretended to be a little wary.

Luo Liu took in her full look and saw that she was afraid only now. He thought she was a young lady from some wealthy family and was probably a little favored by her elders. She had not seen much of the world, but was braver than other girls from ordinary families.

He laughed naively and said:
"It was our fault. We were so busy asking the guest where he came from that we forgot to announce our home address."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Sun Sanniang, then introduced himself:

"My last name is Luo, and I am the sixth child in my family, so I am called Luo Liu. This is Madam Sun San, my senior sister from the same sect."

After the scene was reset, Zhao Fusheng and others met Luo Liu and his wife again who came out of the ghost fog. This time, "Luo Liu and his wife" behaved honestly, but what he said was completely different from the first time they met.

If Zhao Fusheng's guess was correct, the five people from the Demon Suppression Division fell into a ghost dream and were trapped by the evil spirit in the dream.

The 'person' in the ghost dream does not know that he is dead and is trapped in the ghost dream. Naturally, he does not know that he has 'died' before, nor does he understand that what he says at this time may contradict the 'last death', and then expose his true colors.

From the two conversations with these two people, we can infer that: they are indeed traveling merchants, the names are correct, and Luo Liu also died in Wan'an County during his lifetime, but the relationship between the two people is wrong.

Zhao Fusheng knew what was going on, but he remained calm, pretending not to have noticed his flaw:
"I see. You are senior and junior brothers. What are you learning from your master? Are you singing opera?"

"Hahaha." Luo Liu couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this:

"You're kidding. How can I sing in this state?" He scratched his big head and loosened his already unstable bun. Dandruff flew in the air. Although Zhang Chuanshi was afraid that these two people were evil spirits, he couldn't help showing contempt when he saw him like this, and stretched out his hand to block the pot:

"Be more careful, the hair has fallen into the pot."

"Yes Yes Yes--"

Luo Liu stopped awkwardly and said:

"We learn tricks and perform miscellaneous tasks with others."

After saying that, he took out the rattle from his waist like a magician, handed it in front of Kuai Manzhou and shook it. As he rubbed the drum with his fingers, the two thin ropes on the drum swung, and the two wooden beads hit the drum surface, making a "dong dong" sound.

"Baby, let me show you a trick."

He laughed twice, and seeing that Kuai Manzhou was not very interested in the rattle, he shook the handle of the toy between his fingers, and the drum beats flew and the sound continued in his ears.

Kuai Manzhou remained unmoved and looked at him coldly.

Such juggling generally works well with children.

Most of the children at that time had never seen the world, and a small gadget was enough to make them excited. However, Kuai Manzhou did not care.

On the contrary, the child's eyes were clearly black and white, and when he stared at Luo Liu, an inexplicable sense of fear arose spontaneously.

It's wicked!
Luo Liu is also a veteran.

He realized that this trick would not attract the attention of the children at present, so he said:

"I'll change again!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched and retracted his fingers, and the rattle that was originally bouncing in his palm disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was replaced by a small wooden bow in his hand.

"Hey, you haven't seen this trick before, have you?"

He forced a smile and said to Kuai Manzhou.

Sun Sanniang also showed a proud smile.

The little girl glanced at Zhao Fusheng with inquiry in her eyes, and Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Kuai Manzhou stretched out his hand and touched Luo Liu's palm.

Luo Liu heaved a sigh of relief and said:

"Come on, play with it—"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Kuai Manzhou pinch his palm with his fingers and then flick it hard.

With a "whoosh" sound, a transparent thread as thin as a hair was torn off by Kuai Manzhou's brute force and passed through Luo Liu's palm.

Because the speed was too fast, Luo Liu didn't feel the pain at first. It was not until the blood oozed out of the wound that he belatedly realized it and let out a "hiss".

"you--"

Luo Liuyi became irritable due to his injury and was about to lose control of his temper, but at the critical moment, Sun Sanniang stretched out her finger and twisted his waist.

The pain brought back his sanity and he immediately pursed his lips.

There were five people in Zhao Fusheng's group.

Except for Zhang Chuanshi and Meng Po who are old and Kuai Manzhou who is still young, Liu Yizhen is truly in his prime and looks very strong.

If Luo Liu angered this group of people, Liu Yizhen alone would be able to deal with him and Sun Sanniang.

Thinking of this, he forced a smile:

"You kid——"

Having said that, he secretly looked up at Zhao Fusheng, as if he was counting on her to discipline his child.

But Zhao Fusheng pretended not to notice his look and just smiled without saying anything.

Kuai Manzhou was holding a piece of broken thread.

The thread was snow-white and thin, with one end connected to the cuff. She pulled it gently, and the thread pulled out the rattle hidden in Luo Liu's cuff.

"I found it in a flash." Kuai Manzhou said coldly.

Compared with Zhao Fusheng's method of hiding things, Luo Liu's tricks were clumsy and boring. Zhao Fusheng shouted:
"Manzhou."

The child threw the rattle to the ground, sat back beside her, and started weaving the dry grass again.

"..."

Luo Liu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, picked up the rattle that fell on the ground and held it in his hand.

"It seems that the little girl doesn't like this trick. I have other tricks to perform--"

Luo Liu's words made Kuai Manzhou raise his head again:
"What other tricks can you perform?"

Seeing that his words had attracted the child's attention, Luo Liu became more alert and said hurriedly:
"I can also breathe fire, swallow swords, clamp throats with iron spears, and crush rocks with my chest—"

When he said this, Kuai Manzhou's eyes lit up.

Zhao Fusheng sneered in his heart.

Hearing this, she could almost judge that Luo Liu and Sun Sanniang were probably not good people.

The reason why Luo Liu exaggerated so much was simply to arouse the interest of children.

But these two people were wrong.

Kuai Manzhou is not an ordinary child, and her personality has changed drastically after she controlled the ghost. Her thoughts at this time are completely different from Luo Liu's.

She calmed herself down and touched the child's head. The light in the child's eyes dimmed, and he pouted, showing an unwilling expression, and turned his attention back to the straw weaving.

Zhao Fusheng asked Sun Sanniang:
"By the way, are you locals? Are you familiar with Shilipu?"

Sun Sanniang was smiling when she saw Luo Liu talking to Kuai Manzhou, but then she saw the children suddenly ignored her and couldn't help cursing in her heart.

Afterwards, she listened to Zhao Fusheng's question, and she suppressed her displeasure and answered with energy:

"Yes, I am from Shilipo. I am familiar with the surrounding villages."

"Shilipo was not like this before. How come it has changed so much in just two years?" asked Zhao Fusheng.

Although Sun Sanniang was still smiling, Zhao Fusheng keenly noticed that her smile had become a little perfunctory.

The woman's eyes turned cold, and she looked her over with an examining expression, a cold and gloomy feeling.

After a while, she replied indifferently:
"The guest is from Wan'an County. In which direction is his hometown? Why did he come to Shilipo with a coffin?"

Zhao Fusheng heard the wariness in her words.

Sun Sanniang was not a good person. When the past of Shilipo was mentioned, she was on guard. Perhaps it was because Zhao Fusheng and others came from the county town.

Although she is a woman, she is more patient and thoughtful than Luo Liu.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"My family used to be in the incense business, but something happened at home in recent years, so I haven't been here for two years." She answered casually:

"When I came here two years ago, there were still abundant vegetation here. But this time, I almost didn't recognize the road."

Her mention of 'collecting incense' did not completely dispel Sun Sanniang's doubts.

It is no secret that Shilipu is rich in spices; it is well-known far and wide.

Zhao Fusheng simply said:
"We walked this way this time because we promised someone that we would pass on a message on the way home. But halfway through, the mountain road became difficult to navigate and the car broke down. We had no choice but to walk around."

She spoke half truthfully and half falsely. Sun Sanniang nodded when she heard it, but looking at the woman's expression, she didn't believe it completely.

"It was getting dark when we walked. Fortunately, we came across a temple like this. We stopped to rest for a while and planned to ask for directions after daybreak."

Sun Sanniang laughed:
"I wonder which house the guest wants to take the message to? We are all from the same school, and we are very familiar with Shilipo. If you tell us, we might be able to help point the way." After saying that, she reached out to touch the pipe on her waist, but her fingers stopped as soon as they touched it.

Zhao Fusheng is well aware of the complexity of human nature.

She could see that Luo Liu and Sun Sanniang thought she was young and inexperienced, and therefore easier to control.

But if she answered such a question easily and fluently, these two suspicious people might become suspicious.

In response to Sun Sanniang's question, Zhao Fusheng deliberately hesitated for a moment, a look of doubt appeared on his face, and he stared at Sun Sanniang nervously.

Her behavior is more in line with that of a naive girl who is somewhat clever but has not experienced much.

Sun Sanniang pulled the pipe down with confidence, then reached out to pinch a pinch of tobacco from the pipe and put it into the pipe.

"Don't worry, we are not bad people. It is fate that we met. Anyway, I will show you the way. If you are happy to hear it, I will give you a drink."

After saying that, she put the pipe in her mouth, held the pipe in her mouth and tilted her head to light it.

While lighting the fire, she observed Zhao Fusheng's every move out of the corner of her eye. Sure enough, she saw that after Zhao Fusheng heard what she said, a look of relief appeared on his face.

"Tsk." Sun Sanniang sneered in her heart: He is still a novice.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:

"I'm speaking on behalf of the Yang family in Liutu Village. Their second daughter married to Lijiaao in Shilipo, and she's said to be pregnant recently—"

"Lijiaao? The surname is Yang?" Sun Sanniang didn't even light her cigarette, but pinched the pipe with her fingers and turned to ask Luo Liu:
"Is it the one from Li Youlu's family? His wife's surname seems to be Yang, and she is from a village outside Wan'an County."

Luo Liu shook his big head:

"I don't know the details, but Li Youlu's wife is indeed pregnant."

"How do you know?" Sun Sanniang was surprised when she heard this.

Luo Liu glanced at her obscurely, and then said vaguely:
"Last time, her mother-in-law came to me and said that since her daughter-in-law was pregnant, she needed to accumulate good karma."

The two exchanged a knowing look, then turned to look at Zhao Fusheng.

But he saw that Zhao Fusheng looked confused, as if he didn't understand what the two said. He couldn't help but feel relieved. Then he looked at the oldest people, Meng Po and Zhang Chuanshi, but saw that they seemed to have nothing to do with it. They were just listening to the gossip and didn't notice anything strange at all.

It seems that this is a pair of old fools!
Sun Sanniang felt relieved and her expression became much warmer:

"So it turns out that you are an acquaintance. I am very familiar with Li Youlu's family. His mother and I often visit each other. I will take you there when it's daybreak."

Zhao Fusheng pretended not to see her plan and said:
"That would be great."

After the greetings, she asked directly:

"Sun Sanniang, what happened in Shilipu? Why does everything look different to me? This mud temple used to be surrounded by green trees and many thorns and vines, but this time there is not even a single weed."

Sun Sanniang said:
"It's a long story."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and asked again:
"By the way, when you came in earlier, I heard you say that this wild temple is called the Godfather Temple? Why is it called that?"

At this time, Sun Sanniang thought she had figured out her background and believed that she was just a girl who was well protected by her family, had just left home, and was curious about everything.

She lowered her guard a little, thought for a moment and said:
"My guest, you may not know that we have a custom in Shilipu that if someone does a favor to someone, he or she must acknowledge the other person as an elder."

In other words, it is common here to have a godfather or godmother.

Zhao Fusheng said:
"I've heard of this custom before, but what does it have to do with this temple being called the Godfather Temple?"

Sun Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and said:
"You are not an outsider. Since you mentioned the Youlu family in Lijiaao, you are one of us. It's okay for me to tell you some things."
