I become a god in another world

Chapter 331 Forty Years Ago
Chapter 331

At this moment in the ghost dream of Shilipu, the moment Zhao Fusheng took out the golden bell of time and space, everyone heard the sound of galloping horses.

Qiao Yuesheng, holding a knife, paused for a moment.

It seemed as if it sensed the presence of another evil spirit, and black flames surged on its body.

A little bit of mud began to cover the surface of the evil spirit.

The shadow of the shrine appeared at the feet of the evil spirit, and the outline of the incense burner appeared.

Just then, a long horse neigh was heard.

The ghost horse being held by Liu Yizhen sneezed nervously.

Zhao Fusheng shouted:
"Yizhen, can you hold the horse?"

"..."

Liu Yizhen suddenly became nervous and instinctively used both arms to hug the horse:
"What are you going to do?"

"We are ready to escape."

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, he saw black gas rolling in front of him. This black gas forcibly "torn" the evil spirit's dream to create a special evil spirit passage.

Along with the neighing of horses, a carriage with an eerie and spooky aura rushed out from the rolling black air and stopped in front of Zhao Fusheng.

The green-robed ghost driving the car stretched out his hand stiffly towards Zhao Fusheng, trying to snatch the golden bell from her hand.

"go!"

Zhao Fusheng shouted loudly and opened his hands wide. He picked up Zhang Chuanshi and Kuai Manzhou, who had not yet reacted, in his hands like an eagle catching chicks, and swung them hard towards the Ghost Chariot.

The body of the ghost car was originally completely dark. As the strangers approached, a door gradually appeared on the body of the car, welcoming the two of them inside.

"Meng Po, let's go!"

Zhao Fusheng threw the two of them onto the ghost car and also helped Meng Po.

Blood was surging from Meng Po's body. Zhao Fusheng and Liu Yizhen looked at each other, and then they both quickly jumped into the ghost gate.

The smell of incense entangled the ghost car.

At this moment, Zhao Fusheng threw the golden bell in his hand into the hands of the evil ghost driving the car.

'Ding-dong-dong.'

The ghost bell returned to the ghost car, and the ghost car above the disaster level was instantly put together.

Once the Ghost Bell is regained, the Ghost Car's aura will be greatly enhanced, tearing apart the green aura wrapped around the vehicle.

The evil ghost shook the reins and flipped through the ghost book expressionlessly.

The ghost horse let out a long cry, and the ghost car slowly disappeared from the spot, turning into a fast shadow and exiting the ghost dream world through the evil ghost passage that had been forced open earlier.

The faint smell of fireworks that had been lingering in everyone's noses immediately disappeared.

"saved--"

Zhang Chuanshi couldn't help but slump down in the ghost car and breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Yizhen was carrying a huge ghost coffin on his back and holding a ghost horse. He was still a little dizzy and didn't understand what was going on.

The car door slammed shut, and in Zhang Chuanshi's eyes, the lights inside the car suddenly came on, and the car was filled with people.

"Sir, what kind of car is this?"

"Ghost car."

Zhao Fusheng responded.

Kuai Manzhou on the side shouted excitedly:
"Fusheng, Fusheng."

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, they saw a stiff-faced Zhao Fusheng standing against the wall of the carriage like a dead body.

A blood-red ghost thread emitting an ominous aura wrapped around Zhao Fusheng's neck, hanging him like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

"ghost--"

As Kuai Manzhou shouted, the scene in Zhang Chuanshi's eyes changed rapidly.

The originally bright candlelight was immediately extinguished, and the car fell into darkness.

A dim green light poured down from the roof of the car, bringing a faint illumination into the car.

Several evil spirit corpses were tied up on all four sides of the carriage walls. Just as Kuai Manzhou said, "Zhao Fusheng" was actually one of the dead.

"My lord, my lord, are you dead?"

When Zhang Chuanshi saw this scene, he was so frightened that his voice trembled.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"This is my paper doll substitute."

Liu Yizhen reacted:
"Ghost car."

"Yeah." She nodded and explained:

"It was the ghost car that took me away. I subdued the substitute ghost in the Goutou Village ghost case and sealed it in a paper man. I was able to use the paper man to escape after getting on the ghost car."

Only then did she explain the situation.

When Zhang Chuanshi heard that she was not a ghost, he became bolder and forced himself to straighten his chest.

"No wonder you are no longer bound by the Soul Book. It turns out that you used a ghost substitute."

Zhao Fusheng nodded slightly and said:

"When I jumped off the train that day, I took off the ghost bell that guided the train, causing the ghost train to stop moving."

She briefly mentioned how the ghost carriage was led to Bao County, and finally said:
"This ghost bell law goes against the will of heaven and ignores the barriers of time and space."

Liu Yizhen also reacted:
"So after entering the ghost dream, you didn't panic. You said you had a 50% chance of escaping, and that meant using the ghost car?"

"Correct."

She responded:
"I made two preparations."

Until this moment, she revealed her plan:

"The first is to summon the ghost car to escape in an emergency, and the second is to ask you to open the ghost coffin and release the headless ghost."

The grade of the headless ghost is also above the disaster level, and it has the natural ability to restrain ghosts. Maybe it can buy some opportunities for everyone in the battle with Qiao Yuesheng.

In fact, Zhao Fusheng had prepared more than just these two.

She also has 12404 merit points to back her up.

It was also because of this that she insisted on venturing into a deeper level of ghost dream and facing Qiao Yuesheng's true form as a ghost.

As long as one can get close to its real ghost body and open the List of Gods with extra god positions, Qiao Yuesheng can be directly deified.

Once a deity is canonized, the scourge of ghosts will naturally be resolved and everyone will be able to save their lives.

But the List of Gods was Zhao Fusheng's secret, so this plan naturally could not be mentioned to others. She only talked about two preparations.

Even so, Zhang Chuanshi could still hear his sincere admiration:
"Your Excellency is truly a man of foresight and wisdom."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and did not respond to Zhang Chuansheng's compliment.

In fact, her original idea was to use the List of Gods as her greatest trump card.

But when things really happened, Qiao Yuesheng appeared, and the Investiture of the Gods reminded her to be deified, she changed her mind.

She didn't plan to deify Qiao Yuesheng immediately.

Liu Yizhen didn't know what she was thinking at the moment. After listening to her explanation of the cause and effect, he sighed:
"I see. This is a good thing."

He reached back to touch the coffin on his back, not knowing whether he was disappointed or relieved.

"At least the headless ghost didn't escape, so I didn't fail my grandfather's last wish."

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly and said nothing.

Meng Po listened to the end of their conversation and then asked:
"My Lord, where are we going now?"

The Ghost Car has no fixed place to live. Once it regains the Time and Space Ghost Bell and puts it together, it is very likely to resume the killing rules and wreak havoc on Wan'an County again.

Meng Po thought for a moment and said, "After we finish this, why don't we find a place to get off the car and work together to dismantle it."

"..." Her words made Zhang Chuanshi shudder.

This old woman had just experienced her first ghost case, and it seemed to have aroused the cruelty in her bones. She actually took the initiative to offer to dismember the evil ghost.

"Not urgent."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"We are going back to Wan'an County now." After saying that, she added:
"If I'm right, the carriage will go back to Confucius Temple in Yaofan Hutong, Wan'an County."

"This car actually understands your intentions?" Zhang Chuanshi asked curiously:
"You know Yizhen once lived in Confucius Temple, so you plan to send us home?"

Zhao Fusheng glanced at him and said:

"Not back to the Confucius Temple in Wan'an County at this time."

"Ah?" Zhang Chuanshi touched his bald forehead:
"What do you mean by not going back to the Confucius Temple in Wan'an County at this time?"

"Forty years ago—"

Liu Yizhen thought of a possibility and murmured to himself.

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, raised his voice, and widened his eyes:
"Forty years ago?"

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng nodded with a smile.

The conversation between the two was incoherent, and Zhang Chuanshi felt vaguely uneasy:
"What, what forty years ago?"

Meng Po was also puzzled.

Kuai Manzhou pulled Zhao Fusheng's hand and looked up at her.

"The ghost car will go to the Liu clan ancestral hall forty years ago." Zhao Fusheng explained.

After that, she was afraid that everyone was still unclear, so she gave the exact time:

"It was on the day of Yizhen's grandfather's sixtieth birthday!"

"what?!"

Zhang Chuanshi called out in a low voice, his face full of disbelief.

Liu Yizhen was also stunned for a moment.

"To explain this matter clearly, we must mention the origin of the Hongquan Opera Troupe." Zhao Fusheng's face became serious:
"When Liu Huacheng was an official in the imperial capital, he had established a relationship with the Hongquan Opera Troupe."

This connection became the opportunity for the Hongquan Opera Troupe to turn into ghosts - the troupe owed Liu Huacheng a play decades ago, and decades later they paid it back with the lives of the entire troupe.

At that time, Liu Huacheng indirectly caused the revival of the headless ghost. The headless ghost caused chaos in the capital, and also caused the then Demon Suppression Division General Jin to revive and die.

Jin will drive the ghost car after his death.

These three form a closed loop.

Because the Hongquan Opera Troupe owed Liu Huacheng a play, and the last play Liu Huacheng heard in his lifetime was on his 60th birthday (after that he gave away all his family wealth, changed his identity and became a temple priest to guard the Confucius Temple).

Therefore, in order to resolve this cause and effect, they need to send the troupe back to forty years ago.

At this time, the ghost carriage that can ignore the laws of time came in handy - this is also the reason why several generations of Bailing died in the ghost carriage disaster.

"The last time I was taken away by a ghost car, its destination was the Liu Clan Ancestral Hall forty years ago."

At that time, the Ghost Carriage was disassembled by Zhao Fusheng, causing it to stagnate. But now, once it is pieced together, the Ghost Carriage will still fulfill the law - that is, continue to go to Liu Huacheng's birthday party forty years ago.

"Everyone, we are going to have a birthday drink next." Zhao Fusheng joked humorously.

"..."

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi and Liu Yizhen were stunned, and neither of them could laugh.

"Drink birthday wine, drink birthday wine." Kuai Manyan found this interesting and couldn't help but clapped his hands twice.

Meng Po was optimistic and laughed twice:
"It sounds like a lively event. Liu Miaozhu and I have been neighbors for many years, so I'd like to go celebrate his birthday." When she said this, a look of sadness appeared on her face:
"It's just that I didn't bring any decent gifts—"

"Stop joking, Meng Po."

Zhang Chuanshi had a bitter face:
"Forty years ago, forty years ago," he reminded.

"Sir, if we go back forty years, how can we come back?"

Liu Yizhen also calmed down.

When he heard that he was going to celebrate his grandfather's birthday, he was a little excited, but he quickly regained his senses and said:

"Master Zhang is right. With the ghost car, it is easy to go to forty years ago, but it is difficult to go back forty years later. It is better to do as Meng Po said before and find a place to forcefully get off the car, disassemble the ghost car, and stop it again--"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chuanshi nodded rapidly:
"good idea."

"No." Faced with the two's proposal, Zhao Fusheng shook his head without hesitation.

Zhang Chuanshi was somewhat surprised:
"why?"

"Why do you think I should summon the ghost car and go back forty years?" Zhao Fusheng's eyes flashed and he showed a sly smile.

"..." Liu Yizhen's eyelids twitched rapidly, and a bad premonition surged into his heart:
"What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten what the main purpose of our trip is?" Zhao Fusheng raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone.

Zhang Chuanshi's scalp is about to explode:

"Sir, we came to Shilipo to investigate a ghost case, but——"

"No buts." Zhao Fusheng said with a smile:

"We are here to solve the ghost case in Shilipo."

"But Qiao Yuesheng is too fierce. Once we are trapped in the nightmare, no one can defeat it."

Before its true form appeared, it was able to completely suppress Meng Po who had joined forces with Kuai Manzhou. Once its true form appeared, it even mentioned a very evil thing. If Zhao Fusheng had not summoned the ghost car at the critical moment, everyone would have died in a ghost dream.

"The Ghost Car may not be its opponent." Zhao Fusheng said calmly:
"It's just that the Ghost Car's rules are special, and they just happen to counter its ghost dreams."

But Qiao Yuesheng’s strength is not just about Gui Meng.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"It will catch up sooner or later!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the ghost car staggered heavily as if it was hit by some mysterious force.

"卬——"

The ghost horse neighed, and the ghost horse in the carriage also neighed in response.

The ghost corpse hanging in the car shook violently, and several people in the car were also shaken by this force and almost fell to the ground.

'Pfft. '

It was as if the sound of hot oil dripping onto the ground reached everyone's ears, along with a sense of extreme danger and excitement.

Zhang Chuanshi instinctively looked up in the direction of the sound, but saw a small red dot suddenly appear at the rear of the ghost car, which had been sealed.

The mark was like rusty iron, but it flashed light and dark, and instantly turned into a spot of fire.

Then the flame spot spread around at lightning speed, and in a short while it burned a hole as big as a bowl in the body of the Ghost Car.

"Look."

Zhang Chuanshi said in horror.

Everyone looked out through the broken hole and saw a temple rising up behind the carriage.

There stands a clay statue in front of the temple.

There is an incense burner in front of the clay statue, with three green incense sticks inserted in the burner. The incense is burning, and the green smoke rises slowly, turning into wisps of mist and floating towards the ghost car.

Qiao Yuesheng is chasing us!

And the moment everyone saw it, the shadow of the clay statue became blurred.

When everyone looked again, it seemed as if the clay statue had suddenly moved dozens of feet closer, as if it was very close.
