I become a god in another world

Chapter 320: Dark Night Ghost Village
Chapter 320
A little light suddenly appeared in the extremely quiet night. Although this light illuminated the darkness and allowed Zhao Fusheng and his companions to see each other's faces clearly, after looking at each other, they did not feel happy but alert instead.

"What should we do?" Meng Po looked at the light and shadow, then turned to ask Zhao Fusheng.

Zhang Chuanshi said without hesitation:
"Go the other way."

The battle with the evil spirits had just come to an end, Kuai Manzhou was suppressed and at a disadvantage. The evil spirits in the clay temple became stronger due to the incense burning, and everyone was sent into a deeper nightmare.

It was extremely dark all around, but suddenly a little light appeared. No matter how Zhang Chuanshi looked at it, he felt that the light was fishy.

He said:
"I think that light is like bait, luring us in."

Liu Yizhen turned around and looked at Zhao Fusheng, but saw her looking towards the fire with a deep gaze.

Kuai Manzhou's face was pale. He held her hand tightly and stood side by side with her. When he saw the fire, there was a fierce light in the child's eyes, and he was eager to try - it was obvious that in the previous battle, the little girl was defeated by the headless ghost and she was extremely dissatisfied, and was trying to find an opportunity to get back at him.

"Fu Sheng--" When Liu Yizhen saw this scene, he understood what the two were thinking.

"You want to go to the light?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chuanshi was startled:
"Go to the light?" He kept shaking his head:
"No, no, sir. If we go to that bright light, wouldn't that be sending ourselves to the door?"

Zhao Fusheng smiled:

"Lao Zhang, we are here to look for ghosts." After she finished speaking, she squeezed Kuai Manzhou's hand and asked her with her head down:
"Are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid!" Kuai Manzhou said loudly.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"Since you are not afraid, let's go."

Liu Yizhen patted the horse's back, and the horse hoofed forward, following Zhao Fusheng.

Zhang Chuanshi said with a sad face:
"Meng Po, tell me, isn't this courting death?"

Meng Po smiled:

"I'm just a soup seller, but I don't care about the case. I'll do whatever the adults say."

“…” Zhang Chuanshi was outnumbered four to one and was at a disadvantage.

After finding that he couldn't resist moving towards the light, he rolled his eyes and quickly squeezed in among the crowd and got behind Liu Yizhen.

The lights in the dark night didn't seem to be far away, but everyone still walked carefully in the dark for about half an hour before finally seeing the shadow of a village hidden in the mountains.

The village is hidden in the depression of the valley.

When people stand on top and look down, they can see the entire village.

The village is in the shape of a Chinese character "U". There is a house inside with a fire on. The light leaks out from the gaps in the thatched hut, the door panels and the windows, making it particularly eye-catching.

"Where is this?"

Zhang Chuanshi's throat tightened and he asked.

Zhao Fusheng turned around and looked back the way he came, only to see that the back of him was hidden in the green mist and he could no longer see the way he came.

——This also means that everyone has no way out.

Zhao Fusheng frowned slightly, but did not say anything about his discovery at this time.

"It doesn't look like the two villages mentioned by Sun Sanniang and the others." Meng Po said:
"Two villages are fighting over spices. There are quite a few people here. It looks like there are only a dozen houses at most."

Everyone stood higher and could see far away, but they did not see any shadow of other villages at the other end.

When Sun Sanniang, Luo Liu and Yang Guiying mentioned Wild Boar Village and Niulan Village, they all said that the two villages were not far from each other and they had been very close before the incident.

"Let's go into the village first," Zhao Fusheng said.

Several people were startled and nodded.

Not far away there is a narrow path that winds down the mountain and leads directly to the village.

Everyone became more alert, stepped onto the path, and walked slowly into the village.

The path was not long, but everyone walked very carefully, so it did take some time.

However, they did not encounter any danger along the way, and when they arrived at the village entrance, everyone felt a little relieved.

In front of the village entrance, there was a huge archway with a black plaque hanging on it.

There seemed to be words on the plaque, but the characters seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dust, and it was unclear what was written.

About ten feet in front of the archway is the main entrance to the village.

There are two wooden doors at the entrance, one open and one closed.

Zhao Fusheng's eyes fell on the memorial archway and the gate. Seeing that the wood was brand new and the paint on it was bright and smooth, a guess came to her mind -

"grown ups."

She was about to speak when Zhang Chuanshi suddenly shouted:
"The way we came here disappeared."

He said with some horror.

Liu Yizhen and Meng Po subconsciously turned around to look.

I saw that the narrow path we came from had indeed disappeared. Not only the path disappeared, but even the mountains that the path connected to had disappeared.

Instead, a strange and bizarre green fog, like the incense burning in front of the Mud Temple, surrounded them and seemed to force everyone into the village.

"The road is gone, what should I do?" Zhang Chuanshi became even more frustrated:

"We can't go back—"

Zhao Fusheng was not panicked.

She had already noticed that the road had disappeared, and now she just said calmly:
"When dealing with ghosts and handling ghost cases, there is no turning back."

She made a double entendre.

Liu Yizhen and Meng Po were both stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads.

Zhang Chuanshi and Kuai Manzhou, who were still wailing, froze when they heard this.

Zhang Chuanshi was in a daze for a moment:

"No, there's no turning back?"

"It wants us to go into the village, so let's go into the village," Zhao Fusheng said.

"I have a vague idea of ​​where this place is now."

She was calm in her sleep, not panicking when entering the village, brave and resourceful, and able to think calmly at such a moment, which restored Zhang Chuanshi's confidence.

"Does your Excellency know where this is?"

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"The clan school in the wild banana forest."

"The clan school in the wild banana forest?" Liu Yizhen asked in surprise:

"We're actually here?"

"Where is this?" Zhang Chuanshi asked blankly.

When they were in Lijiaao, Yang Guiying mentioned this place, but Zhang Chuanshi had captured Luo Liu at that time and interrupted Yang Guiying's words, so when Zhao Fusheng mentioned this place, he was not aware of it.

"When Qiao Yue was alive, he had a clan school built for the children in Shilipo to study." Zhao Fusheng touched Kuai Manzhou's head:

"According to Yang Guiying, this clan school was established a few years before Qiao Yuesheng disappeared. I see that the wood here is quite new and the paint is intact. It should not have been built for a long time. The place is not very large, so it is most likely the clan school."

After Qiao Yuesheng disappeared, this clan school became a trading market in Shilipu, used for some shady transactions.

"Let's talk about it after we get into the village."

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, everyone else nodded.

This is the world of ghost dreams. The deeper you go into the ghost dreams, the closer you are to Qiao Sheng - which also means that real and greater danger is approaching everyone.

Except for Meng Po, everyone is an expert in dealing with ghosts, including Liu Yizhen, who knows how terrifying ghosts are.

The crowd did not push the tightly closed door, but tried not to change the layout of the place and squeezed into the village through the half-open door.

As soon as everyone entered the village, everything outside disappeared again, replaced by thick green fog. The village was unusually quiet, and as soon as the five people and one horse entered the village, they could not hear any sound.

"Thump, thump—"

The hearts of several people were beating wildly, and they could hear each other's heartbeats very clearly.

In the darkness, a weird, crazy, gloomy, and resentful depressing atmosphere spread in the air and penetrated into everyone's heart.

Zhao Fusheng calmed down, suppressed the instinctive fear that welled up in his heart, and ordered a few people:

"Manzhou and I will go in the front, Yizhen and Lao Zhang will go in the middle, and Mengpo will go in the back."

Meng Po's power is weird.

Although this was her first time handling a ghost case and she had not demonstrated any real ability to confront ghosts, she gave Zhao Fusheng a feeling that she could suppress evil spirits, so he ordered her to cover their retreat.

Zhang Chuanshi was so overjoyed when he heard this that he forgot his fear for a moment and responded loudly:

"I will listen to you, sir."

"I listen……"

"...Listen...to my Lord..."

"The...the...the..."

Echoes kept coming from all directions, and their pitch had already been distorted and changed.

Zhang Chuanshi, who had been somewhat proud before, suddenly shrank his neck nervously, dared not say a word, and walked obediently in the middle.

Liu Yizhen was a little worried:
"I'll go ahead. If it doesn't work, I still have this--"

He patted the horse's back twice, indicating the presence of a ghost coffin.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"Not yet," she said.

"I also have some means, and I am not afraid of danger. What's more, I have Man Zhou to help me."

The child, who had been stern-faced, brightened his eyes and nodded vigorously when he heard this.

Liu Yizhen could only sigh:
"Then be careful."

The longer he spent with Zhao Fusheng, the better he thought she was.

In a critical moment like this, she did not send others to their deaths, but walked at the front herself to resist the danger.

Zhang Chuanshi also thought of this, and felt a little guilty, and said with concern:
"My lord, you must be careful."

Zhao Fusheng didn't say anything, but just pulled Kuai Manzhou forward.

The ground of this village is paved with bluestone and polished very flat. The houses on both sides are quite wide apart, almost like the main gate to the village, half closed and half open.

All the houses were dark and it was difficult to see clearly when looking in from the outside.

She did not rush to check at this time, but planned to start from the lighted room to see what was hidden under the light.

The lighted house is located at the deepest part of Zhuangzi.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived in front of the lighted house.

Unlike other houses that were half-open or half-closed, the two doors here were tightly closed.

The door of the house was painted red.

This color, which should have been bright and upright, actually exudes a creepy feeling in the cold and strange environment of the ghost dream.

The house was also quiet, just like the other houses, as if there were no living people.

The light was very bright, coming out from the gap between the door and the frame.

Kuai Manzhou wanted to break free from Zhao Fusheng's hand and stepped forward to check, but the moment his hand moved, Zhao Fusheng pinched it hard.

"Don't worry, let me do it."

She said something.

"Fusheng." The little girl became anxious when she heard her say that.

Zhao Fusheng looked down at her and said sternly:

"obedient!"

"Okay--" Kuai Manzhou nodded reluctantly, but his mouth was pouted high, obviously dissatisfied.

The reason why Zhao Fusheng dared to speak at this time was entirely because she relied on the fact that she had promoted herself to a door god when she was handling this ghost case, and she had the List of Gods and merit points at her disposal.

She activated the List of Gods, held the door god ghost seal in her palm, and stepped forward to the door.

Liu Yizhen and the others didn't dare to breathe, but took small steps forward involuntarily, following her vigilantly.

Meng Po also gritted her teeth and stared at Zhao Fusheng closely.

At this moment, Zhao Fusheng made a seal with one hand and knocked on the door with the other.

‘Knock knock knock. ’

No matter what is inside the door, she is prepared to use courtesy first and force later, and adapt to the situation.

The knock on the door sounded particularly harsh in the dark night.

But the strange thing was that when Zhang Chuanshi was speaking before, the cold and quiet village could still echo, but this time Zhao Fusheng did not restrain his actions when knocking on the door, but the moment the knocking sound was heard, the sound was like a mud flow in the sea, silent and without any unusual sound.

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi held his breath and concentrated, not daring to breathe.

Zhao Fusheng held the Ghost and God Order tightly in her hand, but after the knock on the door, nothing strange happened as she had originally expected.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Yizhen's expression relaxed and he was about to speak when Zhao Fusheng raised his hand and knocked on the door again.

‘Knock knock knock. ’

Still no response from the house.

The silence and eerie stillness turned into a terrible pressure, weighing on everyone's heart.

Zhao Fusheng prepared to summon the beggar ghost and force the door open.

She took a deep breath, and the beggar ghost was instantly activated.

Her arm began to die from the shoulder, and a familiar chill spread across her palm.

Zhao Fusheng raised his ghost arm and knocked on the door again.

‘Knock knock knock. ’

The evil ghost's aura hit the door panel, and the beggar ghost's law was activated. It should break into the door the next moment.

However, before the ghost's power could be exerted, another extremely powerful ghost aura instantly restrained the beggar ghost's power, and forcibly suppressed the beggar ghost, forcing it to fall asleep in an instant.

Zhao Fusheng was a little bit unbelievable.

In a short while, her arms had turned from cold to warm.

Before Liu Yizhen and the others could react to what had happened, a vague question suddenly came from the silent and deserted room:

"Who?!"

In this deserted village, Zhao Fusheng knocked on the door twice but received no response. When he knocked on the door for the third time with his ghost arm, a voice suddenly came from inside the house.

Although there was only a door between them, Zhao Fusheng could not tell whether the voice inside the house was male or female, but he could hear that the voice was full of vigilance and alertness.

Liu Yizhen, Meng Po, Kuai Manzhou and others all heard it clearly and were greatly surprised.

Zhang Chuanshi grabbed Liu Yizhen's arm tightly and hid behind him, not daring to show his head.

After the initial shock, Zhao Fusheng quickly forced himself to calm down.

She did not rush to respond, but instead held the Ghost and God Order tightly, held it close to the door, and then put her ear against the door to listen, but she heard no more movement in the room.
