I become a god in another world

Chapter 352 Xie's Ancestors
Chapter 352

The Demon Suppression Commander of Wan'an County is unfathomable in strength, and it seems that he is a man of his word. When he meets Ding Datong, it will be hard to say who will be the host and the guest.

Ding Datong might end up shooting himself in the foot by summoning her.

In addition, she just named the people who would be involved in this ghost case: Kuai Manzhou, Wu Shaochun, Liu Yizhen, the Fan brothers, and Zhang Chuanshi.

Zhong Yao and the other two had no idea how strong Kuai Manzhou was, but when they had taken the Book of Souls and Life previously, the quiet little girl had shown some skills. Her strength was amazing, and she could use the power of evil spirits at will without suffering any backlash.

As soon as her ghost power came out, Zhong Yao sensed the terrifying evil spirit of the big ghost, which suppressed the evil spirits he controlled so much that they didn't dare to get agitated at all.

The three brothers had all witnessed Wu Shaochun's strength. When they met that day, Yu Ping and Xia Misheng almost died at his hands.

Afterwards, Zhong Yao estimated that Wu Shaochun's evil ghost was at least at the disaster level - the same level as Ding Datong's ghost. It seemed that Wu Shaochun's condition was much more stable than Ding Datong's.

Liu Yizhen had just returned from handling a ghost case, and the three brothers had no idea what his powers were.

But he was carrying an uncovered coffin emitting black air. This coffin was clearly a very evil thing, and Zhong Yao was frightened at the sight of it.

Most ordinary people would be unfortunate if they came into contact with something extremely evil, but Liu Yizhen seemed to have no reaction at all.

Among these people, the Fan brothers, Zhang Chuanshi and Meng Po currently seem the most ordinary.

Zhong Yao and her companions have been staying in the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Bureau for several days. They know that the two Fans are ordinary people and cannot control ghosts.

Zhang Chuanshi looks like a sly person at first glance, but he went with Zhao Fusheng to solve a ghost case and actually came back alive, which shows that he is not as despicable as he appears.

As for Meng Po, although she looks ordinary, the other people in the Demon Suppression Division are extremely wary of her. I don't know what's so special about her.

All in all, the people in Wan'an County are extraordinary. Zhao Fusheng traveled with two powerful ghost riders, one of whom was holding a strange black coffin that contained a very evil object, and three ordinary messengers - this combination of personnel was enough to shock Changping County.

After all, Ding Datong, the general of a county, is now only able to control disaster-level ghosts, and the three ghost controllers under him can only control evil-level ghosts.

Zhong Yao thought of this and sighed silently:
"In the counties under the jurisdiction of the prefecture, Fengning, Sanyuan, and -" His eyes flashed, and he glanced at Zhao Fusheng secretly:
"——Three counties of Wan'an."

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng nodded:

"There was a case of a living dead person carrying a ghost fetus in Guangci'an, so there is a reason for the transfer of the magistrate from this county."

Zhong Yao responded and said:
"The commander of Fengning County's Demon Suppression Command is named Jiang Ying, while the commander of Sanyuan County's Demon Suppression Command is a little special."

"What's the special method?" Zhao Fusheng asked with interest.

Zhong Yao showed a look of fear:
"His name is Tao Lifang, and he controls a calamity-level demon."

Zhao Fusheng is no longer the same person he was before, and he has a certain understanding of the situation of the Han Dynasty's Demon Suppression Division.

She knew that most of the commanders of the county and town demon bureaus were masters of controlling evil-level ghosts, such as her, Zheng He, and the other commanders mentioned by Zhong Yao earlier.

Once the evil ghost under control is of disaster level, most of them are general-level figures, mainly stationed in prefectures and counties.

Since Tao Lifang, whom Zhong Yao mentioned, could control a disaster-level evil spirit, he shouldn't just stay in one county - there must be a reason for that.

Sure enough, Zhong Yao then said:
"But he has been controlling ghosts for several years, and the evil ghosts he controls are already on the verge of semi-recovery."

"Since he is already on the verge of semi-resurrection of the evil spirit, the state and county still want to summon him to go with them. I guess the evil spirit law of this person is very special." Zhao Fusheng said.

Zhong Yao nodded:

"He was originally from the Imperial Capital Tao family. He once worked in the state capital for two years, and was then transferred to the county capital. He went to Sanyuan County last year."

"This official's position is getting lower and lower." Fan Wujiu said curiously.

"Instead of getting smaller, this move should be to protect him." Zhao Fusheng said.

"Master Zhao is right." Zhong Yao said in a muffled voice:

"The prefectures and counties need to complete a certain number of ghost cases every year. The number is more than that of the county. The Demon Suppression Department is currently short-staffed. For example, in the county, there are four ghost handlers in total. On average, each person has to solve at least four to five ghost cases each year."

If there are smart people, they will use smart methods to break the rules of evil spirits and "send" away the evil spirit disaster. In this way, they will not borrow the power of evil spirits and can prolong the opportunity for the evil spirits to revive.

If you can make it through, at the end of the year's merit period, you can report to your superiors through the local office to request credit.

After the mission is accomplished, you can be pardoned.

"After you are promoted to the general level, you can go to the Imperial Capital and get the gold general to borrow ghosts to suppress ghosts."

As soon as Zhong Yao finished speaking, Wu Shaochun was puzzled:
"What do you mean by using ghosts to suppress ghosts?"

"It's similar to the ghost seal." Fan Bisi explained.

Zhong Yao nodded:

"It's similar to what Envoy Fan said."

The evil spirits controlled by the gold general-level characters have almost all reached the disaster level. The evil spirits at the disaster level can suppress the ghosts below them, and they will put ghost marks on those who have made contributions.

Such a ghost seal can deter low-level evil spirits.

If a ghost rider who controls evil spirits below the disaster level can obtain the seals of a gold general-level figure, these ghost seals will suppress the evil spirits they control and thus prolong their lives.

"Tao Lifang is still alive today because he was once printed by the Golden General."

When Zhong Yao said this, envy appeared on her face:
"He is considered a relatively long-lived ghost rider."

After being transferred to Sanyuan County, Tao Lifang completed two ghost cases this year. This time, Ding Datong recruited him to escort the living dead together, which was both a crisis and an opportunity.

"Once the mission is completed and he has handled three cases, he will be considered to have completed his duties as the garrison commander of Sanyuan County. When he goes to Beijing to meet with General Jin, he will also be awarded a seal. Then the evil spirits he controls will be under control again, and he will be able to live another year or two without any problems."

"It's just a ghost seal, why do you make it so complicated?"

Zhang Chuanshi curled his lips and then looked at Zhao Fusheng:
"Sir, no wonder Zheng He is so attentive to you. It turns out that the boy has done nothing, but he is being treated like a great meritorious person by you, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yao's heart skipped a beat.

The three brothers all understood the hidden meaning of Zhang Chuanshi's words - Zheng He was unwilling to return to Changping County to retire and wait for death, and insisted on coming to Wan'an County. Could it be that Zhao Fusheng had cast the ghost seal on him?
Only general-level characters can be printed, it’s just a matter of the strength of the evil spirit’s aura.

I just don't know how powerful the evil spirit controlled by Zhao Fusheng is.

Zhong Yao suppressed the shock in her eyes and said:

"The evil spirit controlled by Tao Lifang is extremely special. He can disperse disasters and death."

Fan Wujiu was stunned for a moment:
"How do you say this?"

"He can 'borrow' some of the evil spirit's killing moves and distribute them to other people." Zhong Yao said:
"For example, in the Shilipu ghost case handled by Lord Zhao this time, if Tao Lifang is present when the ghost kills someone and takes their head, he can transfer the law of the person being killed as long as he wants." If the rank of the ghost is lower than the ghost he controls, then this fatal blow may result in other people losing their arms and legs, while the marked person may be able to save his life.

However, this method is too insidious and terrifying, and consumes too much of the people around him, so everyone is afraid of him. When they mention traveling with him, they are all disgusted, fearing that they will become victims of the disaster he diverts.

"understood."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

"The ghost riders who are sending ghosts to the capital this time include the people from Wan'an County, five in total, and a number of messengers."

Yu Ping responded respectfully.

Zhao Fusheng asked again:
"Who is the golden general sent from the capital, and where can we meet him?"

Zhong Yao had been talking for a long time, which was not easy. He had been very taciturn since the incident in Changping County when he swallowed two ghosts in succession, causing the evil ghost to revive. He had been talking for a long time and was not used to it, so Yu Ping continued to explain:

"We should meet in Bingzhou."

Ding Datong sent three people to Wan'an County this time, and he knew that his actions were a bit too much, so he did not hide the personnel arrangements and itinerary from Zhong Yao and the other two, but told them in detail so that the three of them knew what was going on.

How to convince the people of Wan'an County to respond to the call will depend on how the three of them handle the situation.

Yu Ping said:

"We set out from Changping County by boat--" When he said this, he secretly glanced at Zhao Fusheng, trying to use this sentence to test her intentions.

But when he looked up, his eyes met Zhao Fusheng's.

She seemed to be smiling, and her eyes were so sharp that one could not look directly at them, as if she had seen through his inner thoughts.

Yu Ping's heart trembled, and he lowered his head in a hurry. His heart was beating wildly, and he said with lingering fear:

"The Bailing River will split up in Shangyang County, Bingzhou. We will disembark in Jin County, which is close to Shangyang County, and then take a car to travel." He did not dare to test Zhao Fusheng again, and honestly told Ding Datong's plan:
"The Demon Suppression Division of Jin County will arrange personnel to receive us there. If you need someone or something, just let us know. Then we can go to Shangyang County by land. General Jin will meet us there."

This means the plan is clear and the route is spot-on - if the dead and evil spirits are obedient, do their duty and follow the arrangements, it sounds like the journey will be perfect and as relaxing as a vacation.

Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but laugh:
"You spoke very well, but you haven't told me who the golden general sent by the court is."

Yu Ping rubbed his hands twice and said uneasily:

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I'm not really sure." After he said this, he gritted his teeth and waited for a moment.

Most ghost riders have violent tempers and are vicious, and will get angry at the slightest disagreement.

Even when Zhong Yao first controlled ghosts, she was also affected by the evil spirit, and became emotionally indifferent, dominated by her own temperament.

At this time, Yu Ping failed to answer Zhao Fusheng's questions again and again. Although he tried his best to tell her all the information he knew in other aspects, he did not answer the key points. She kept asking questions, so he was afraid that she would get angry.

Yu Ping waited for a long time, but did not see the expected storm. Instead, he heard Zhao Fusheng say in surprise:
"Not sure?" She tilted her head, and her eyes did not look like those of a ghost without any emotion:

"Has Feng Guangchong not been contacted?"

Yu Ping was stunned and didn't have time to answer, Zhong Yao quickly took up the topic:

"I have contacted him, but due to the urgency of the situation, I couldn't explain it clearly."

The case of the living dead being pregnant with ghosts in Changping County occurred quickly, and the ghost disaster spread quickly. After Feng Guangchong urgently reported the situation to the capital, the imperial capital also knew the seriousness of the situation. Without delay, they replied to his letter and promised to send a gold general-level figure.

But the Imperial Capital Demon Suppression Division did not say which golden general it was.

At this point, Zhong Yao showed hesitation:
"But I do have some gossip."

"You go on." Zhao Fusheng nodded, motioning Zhong Yao to continue.

"Ding Datong has been with Feng Guangchong for several years. This ghost case is dangerous, but Ding Datong is willing to take the case personally and send it to the Imperial Capital. This can be regarded as helping Feng Guangchong solve a big problem. Therefore, Feng Guangchong did reveal some clues to him privately." Zhong Yao got her promise and quickly told her what she knew:
"It is said that the Imperial Capital Demon Command may send an old man."

"Ancestor?" Zhao Fusheng turned to look at Fan Bisi after hearing this.

There are many ghost riders in Wan'an County, and each of them has his own methods, but once they get involved with some core internal information and clues of the Demon Suppression Bureau, they are completely in the dark.

Among all the people, perhaps only Fan Bisi, who once lived in the imperial capital, has the most experience.

When she looked at Fan Bisi, his eyes flickered, his chin shrank back, and he looked embarrassed:

"Sir, although I have been registered in the Demon Suppression Department for many years, I am only a low-ranking envoy—"

Although Zhao Duan had made contributions in Wan'an County in those days, his contributions were not great enough to attract the attention of the Dijing Demon Suppression Department.

After Zhao Duan's death, the Zhao family was treated with favor, and their children and relatives had no worries about food and clothing. However, they were not aware of the major events within the Demon Suppression Bureau, let alone some of the core figures.

Zhong Yao didn't know either.

He is just a man who controls a vicious ghost.

Such ghost riders can act arrogantly in counties and prefectures, making officials, messengers and civilians afraid of them, but they are nothing in the entire Demon Suppression Bureau.

He said:
"I only know that this person's surname is Xie and he is from the Xie family of the Imperial Capital, but I don't know which member of the Xie family he is from."

Now Fan Bisi knew what was going to happen.

He said to Zhao Fusheng:

“Sir, if the court officials who are passed down from generation to generation are called aristocratic families, then the Xie family can also be considered aristocratic family of the Demon Suppression Division.”

There is also inheritance like this in the Demon Suppression Division.

The Xie family was like this, and so was Zhao Duan back then. However, most ghost riders would be like Zhao Duan and his son, and would only last for two or three generations before dying out.

In addition to these, in fact, Feng and Ding, who are now in charge of the prefectures and counties, are both considered to be people from the Imperial Capital, and they have people backing them up in the Imperial Capital Demon Suppression Bureau.

Zhao Fusheng was not interested in the family inheritance of the Demon Suppression Division, but when she heard that the living dead who came to pick up the suspect was most likely a gold general-level figure named Xie, she immediately became interested.

She raised her head and looked in the direction of Meng Po, only to see that Meng Po, who had been smiling before, had an expression that suddenly changed and became extremely serious.

A layer of blood-red mist escaped from her face, making her face look somewhat eerie.

"Xie Family——"

Meng Po murmured, her eyes met Zhao Fusheng's, and then asked:

"Is it related to Xie Jingsheng back then?"

Xie Jingsheng is a special ghost handler who hosted the Red Shoes Ghost Case in Fengmen Village 43 years ago.
