I become a god in another world

Chapter 396 Solving the Ghost Disaster
Chapter 396

It seemed like inside and outside the door were two completely different worlds.

The village inside the gate was dimly lit, as if the gradually brighter light from the outside world could not penetrate at all.

Rather than calling this a Zhuangzi, it would be more accurate to say that this is an ancestral hall.

When the tightly closed door was opened, what came into view was a dry open space. In the distance was a lobby supported by several wooden pillars, and at the back were countless side rooms.

Zhao Fusheng looked carefully and saw people hiding behind the wooden pillars.

Wherever she looked, she met a person's terrified eyes.

After being discovered by her, the man was so scared that he shrank his head and hid in the thatched pile, making a rustling sound.

"There is someone?"

Liu Yizhen had lived in a dark environment like the Confucius Temple for many years, and he had excellent eyesight and saw the people hiding inside.

He sighed:
"Why didn't someone open the door?"

While Liu Yizhen was speaking, Zhang Chuanshi crossed his arms over his shoulders and tried to rush into the house tremblingly:
"Then hurry inside, I'm freezing to death."

After saying that, he squeezed towards the door.

The people of Changping County remembered the scene of him steering the boat earlier, and they all tactfully made way.

But when Zhang Chuanshi squeezed to Zhao Fusheng's side, he stopped and forced a smile:
"Sir, it's very windy and rainy outside. Why don't you go inside and wash up and change into clean clothes first?"

Zhao Fusheng's gaze fell on the inside of the village gate.

There is a knee-high threshold on the outer edge of the gate. The inside of the threshold is dry. Upon closer inspection, a thick layer of wood ash is spread on it, as if to prevent rainwater from outside from spreading into the village through the wooden threshold.

"grown ups?"

After Zhang Chuanshi finished speaking, he saw that she didn't move, so he couldn't help but shout out out of curiosity.

Zhao Fusheng came back to his senses, and Zhang Chuanshi said:
"Does your Excellency think anything is wrong?"

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"Let's talk inside first."

After she finished speaking, she stepped over the threshold and walked into the house.

As soon as Zhao Fusheng entered, there were sudden gasps in the village, followed by someone's desperate sobbing.

The sobbing sound was like a signal, and people started crying one after another.

The Demon Suppression Division and the survivors on the ship don't care what these people think.

Everyone had suffered a great crime last night and encountered a ghost disaster. They had barely escaped death and were now tired and hungry. Once they reached the "safe place", they felt as if their legs were filled with lead and their whole body was exhausted. How could they be willing to stand outside in the rain?

After a while, all the survivors on the ship squeezed into the village.

Many people sat down on the spot and only then dared to breathe deeply.

The water drops on everyone's bodies seeped into the ground and were absorbed by the wood ash. After a short while, the originally dry ground in the village became moist.

Ding Datong rested for a while. At least he still remembered his identity and knew that now was not the time for him to sit and wait for others to serve him.

He forced himself to stand up and walked to Zhao Fusheng's side:
"Sir, I think there is something strange here," he looked around as he spoke, and under his gaze, a rustling sound came from behind a pillar in the distance. Most of the prying eyes disappeared immediately, and some of them stared at everyone with resentment.

Ding Datong was not someone who could swallow his anger. He said:
"I think there's something wrong with the rain, and there's something wrong with Zhuangzi either." As he spoke, he looked up at the sky.

The roof of the village seemed to be temporarily covered with a thatched roof, and the rain hitting the roof made a rustling sound.

This place is extremely shabby, and various odors ferment to form a pungent smell that is particularly irritating to the eyes.

The inside of the gate was covered with wood ashes, but there were few footprints. There were still living people in the village, but they seemed to seldom approach the gate.

Ding Datong was indeed worthy of being the lord of a county, and he quickly realized the problem.

Zhao Fusheng also noticed the clue and nodded.

Wu Shaochun stood up and said:

"My Lord, I will go——"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng understood what he meant.

"Take some rest first."

She glanced at Wu Shaochun, his face was pale - after a night of fierce fighting, he had consumed too much of his evil spirit power, and he was walking in the rain, with rain running down his forehead, making him look not in good condition.

Although Wu Shaochun has a deep connection with the Kitchen Ghost and has the power of the Door God to restrain ghosts, he is, after all, controlling ghosts. He has to be careful when using his power to prevent the evil ghost from reviving.

Although she can also control ghosts, she is restricted by the List of Gods and only needs to consume merit points.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng said:
"I come."

"Sir, you summoned several evil spirits last night..." Wu Shaochun understood what she meant, but was a little worried. Just as he was about to dissuade her, Zhao Fusheng said:
"It won't have much impact on me for now. You have also consumed several times of evil spirit power. There may be another fierce battle when you enter Shangyang County. You should have a good rest first."

When everyone in Changping County heard her words, they all had different expressions.

Yu Ping and Zhong Yao looked at each other.

Xia Misheng was young and couldn't hide his true feelings on his face. Upon hearing this, he glanced at Ding Datong and curled his lips in disapproval.

"..."

Ding Datong was so smart that he could see the thoughts hidden behind this boy's actions.

But at this moment, Zhao Fusheng was in front of him, so he didn't need to argue with Xia Misheng about this matter, and he just had to endure the unpleasant feeling.

The people in Wan'an County did not show any strange expression.

Everyone has seen how Zhao Fusheng behaved, so when people talk about solving ghost cases, they are no longer afraid to do it like they did in the beginning.

Wu Shaochun moved his lips, finally nodded, and sat back down.

After saying this, Zhao Fusheng stood up and walked towards the gate.

She stopped in the direction of the gate, and then immersed her consciousness in the List of Gods.

Although she had consumed some of her merit points due to the ghost disaster last night, she also received some rewards after the ghost case was temporarily resolved. Now she has a total of 27952 merit points.

She thought about it and summoned the door god again.

There were gusts of chilly wind on the List of Gods. As the List of Ghosts and Gods was activated, the Door God Order was activated, and the Door God carrying the Ghost Door Board appeared behind Zhao Fusheng.

Tips from Investiture of the Gods: The door god wants to carry you on his back. Do you want to consume 500 merit points to suppress him?

Yes!
Zhao Fusheng felt a little sad as she watched her merit points being deducted immediately. She took up her strength, picked up the ghost seal and branded it on the door. Then her merit points were only 25952.

As soon as the ghost seal was formed, the two ghost gods walked towards the gates on both sides and finally turned into a hideous blood mark that remained at the gates.

After doing all this, Zhao Fusheng did not immediately take the ghosts and gods back into the List of Gods.

She thought for a moment and shouted:
"Datong, come here."

Ding Datong's heart skipped a beat, then he suppressed his ecstasy and walked to Zhao Fusheng's side:

"What are your orders, sir?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but touch his neck.

"Since we entered Changping County, you have been careful and thoughtful. When the ghost disaster happened last night, you did not run away and even contributed some efforts."

Every time Zhao Fusheng said something, Ding Datong felt extremely happy.

Tao Lifang and others also guessed Zhao Fusheng's intention. They were shocked and extremely jealous of Ding Datong, but no one dared to speak out.

"When I work for you, I dare not fail to do my best."

Ding Datong suppressed his inner excitement and said respectfully.

"Ah."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"I think the evil spirit power you are commanding is about to get out of control." He used the evil spirit's power last night, and now his neck was stretched thin, with the flesh and bones in the middle obviously sunken inward, as if an invisible rope was tightening his neck, making him speak weakly, and his head shook involuntarily, as if it would break at any time.

"I will now make a ghost seal for you to balance the power of the evil spirit in your body and suppress it for you—"

"Thank you, sir!"

For Ding Datong, praying to the ghost seal to suppress the danger of the evil ghost reviving in his body was what he had always dreamed of. Before Zhao Fusheng could finish speaking, he spoke first.

After he finished shouting in a hurry, he felt vaguely regretful.

Fortunately, Zhao Fusheng did not care about his gaffe, but gestured for him to turn around.

"I'll put the ghost seal on the back of your neck."

Zhao Fusheng reminded.

Ding Datong knelt down without hesitation after hearing this. He pulled his collar back and lowered his head to reveal the back of his neck.
"Excuse me, sir."

Everyone in Wan'an County has a ghost seal, so they are not surprised to see this scene. However, the people in Changping County are envious and jealous.

Tao Lifang, Jiang Ying and others looked at each other, regretting that they had not made great efforts last night. Now they had to watch Ding Datong take advantage of such a good thing.

Zhao Fusheng used his fingernail as a knife and drew an imprint of a door frame on the back of Ding Datong's neck.

As soon as the blood flowed out, she once again used 1000 merit points to hit Ding Datong's neck with the ghost seal.

As soon as the ghost seal was struck, Ding Datong couldn't help but shiver.

A cool and evil aura touched his neck, and instantly a chill spread throughout his body.

The powerful evil spirit's force attacked his body, suppressing the out-of-control evil spirit in his body.

The suffocating feeling around his neck that was making it hard for him to breathe disappeared in an instant, and his bent cervical vertebra was immediately straightened by the powerful power of the goal god.

The evil ghost that was about to revive was suppressed by the terrifying existence - it felt like going back to the time when Ding Datong first started to control ghosts, and he was even more comfortable than when he first started to control ghosts.

Even though Ding Datong had never felt the power of a gold general-level brand, based on his own experience, he still realized the preciousness of Zhao Fusheng's ghost seal.

The evil spirits he controlled had no power to resist this ghost seal. With just one ghost seal, he was able to completely suppress disaster-level ghosts. It can be seen that the door god itself is not an ordinary disaster-level evil spirit.

"Thank you, sir."

Ding Datong tasted the benefits of the ghost seal, and then he pulled his clothes together and kowtowed.

Zhao Fusheng's favor to him was enormous, tantamount to saving his life.

"This is what you deserve."

After Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, he nodded to him:

"Get up."

Ding Datong responded and then got up from the ground.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the wind outside getting stronger and stronger, blowing through the door and making an unsettling, shrill sound.

The two heavily patched doors were blown by the wind and banged against the wall.

The strong wind brought rain into the village, soaking the ground.

“Ghost, ghost—”

The people hiding in the village heard the door being banged loudly and shouted in despair:

"It's dead now."

Not only the people in the village felt something was wrong, but Ding Datong, who was standing not far from the door, was the first to feel the evil nature of the wind.

He clenched his fist and was about to step forward, but Zhao Fusheng stretched out his arm to stop him:
"Wait--"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the rain outside had changed color at some point and gradually turned black.

A thin layer of gray fog lingered outside the village, gradually covering the abandoned farm in the distance.

'Alas--'

The ghost realm appears.

The cold wind and black rain formed a vortex as tall as an adult, approaching the village gate.

The moment they approached the gate, screams of surprise were heard everywhere in the village.

The ordinary people who survived on the ship couldn't help but scream in despair when they saw the strange thing happening again.

But as the strange wind approached the gate, blood suddenly appeared on the door.

The blood-red mark imprinted on the door immediately turned into two ghosts and gods, walking straight down from the door panel, and the blood light blocked the dark storm.

The two ghosts stretched out their hands and pulled, and the storm dispersed, revealing the shadow of a ghost inside.

The aura of this evil ghost was not very strong, and there was no need to use the Ghost Brand. The evil spirit of the disaster-level ghost was immediately suppressed.

The ghosts tore the evil spirits apart and stuffed them into the ghost door panels. Finally, they turned silently into blood marks and disappeared into the door frame.

The black gas that had just formed slowly dissipated.

The sudden storm stopped, the rain became lighter, and the water turned transparent again.

This ghost disaster came quickly and went away even faster. When Ding Datong reacted, he saw the door of the house shaking gently, and there was still a faint evil spirit left on the door, left by the appearance of the ghost's mark.

Tips for Fengshenbang: Door God gains +1 incense value and 31 devout believers.

Congratulations to the host for successfully resolving the ghost disaster in Dongping Village, and be rewarded with 500 merit points.

Remind the host that it is a disaster, not a blessing, and disaster cannot be stopped.

……

After solving this small problem, Zhao Fusheng put away the door god and led Ding Datong, who was following closely, back into the crowd.

After she showed such a skill, she decided to find out what happened in the village.

The wind and rain here seem to be unusual. Judging from the fact that everyone in Dongping Village lives together in a courtyard, builds tents over their heads, and dares not go out casually, the villagers seem to know that there is something fishy about the rain here.

As soon as she came back, she ordered:

"Go and bring me some stools."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was no need for Ding Datong to run errands anymore. Tao Lifang, Jiang Ying, Zhong Yao and others ran very fast, fearing that they would lose the opportunity if they were a step slower.

"Drive out the villagers as well. I have something to ask them."

Zhao Fusheng added.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Tao Lifang and others shouting at her.

After a while, many ragged villagers were driven out. Zhong Yao grabbed a few stools and squeezed into the crowd and followed.

He put the stool on the ground and said attentively:

"Please take a seat, sir. Envoy Wu Lingshi and Meng Po, you should also take a seat—"

Meng Po coughed lightly, thanked him, and sat down.

Jiang Ying was a step slower, so he had to put down the stool in his hand with resentment, and invited other people from Wan'an County to sit down one by one.

……

The villagers of Dongping Village stood in front of Zhao Fusheng one by one.

These people were skinny, unkempt, and had dark faces. They looked at the intruders in panic.

"Is there anyone in charge in your village?"

After Zhao Fusheng sat down, he asked.
