I become a god in another world

Chapter 401 Sitting in Dongping
Chapter 401

Afterwards, the boy's family drowned one after another, first his father, then his sisters, and finally he was the only one who survived.

This ghost disaster was like an outbreak of plague, and it did not stop just because Master Wang San and his mother and the young man's family were almost wiped out.

Master Ye and other people in the village all met with accidents one by one.

Someone in the family of the accident fell into the water and drowned. The boy said:

"At first, they fell into rivers and ponds, and then gradually developed into water tanks at home, and even wash basins—"

The dead person will 'return home' and knock on the door that night, and the person whose door is knocked will definitely encounter an accident.

In this way, within just one month, most of the people in Dongping Village died due to the ghost disaster.

After Ye Erye died, the villagers were terrified and they spontaneously organized a funeral for Ye Erye. However, more and more people died and the survivors were unable to take care of themselves, so no one took care of it.

Seeing that the number of deaths in the village was increasing and the number of living people was gradually decreasing, some people finally became scared and fled Dongping Village with their families.

Some people ran away, and the rest were the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled who had nowhere to go, and were left in the village to die.

"It has come to this point. We should report it to the Demon Suppression Department."

Wu Shaochun sighed and said:

"I really have no money, so I'll just lure people here first—"

"Yes."

Fan Bisi also spoke up:

"We don't have much money, but everyone can pool together a small amount and use it as bait to lure the people from the Demon Suppression Division to this village."

Due to his upbringing, he has little sense of right and wrong, and he only speaks and acts for his own benefit.

Seeing Zhao Fusheng discussing the ghost case at this time, he only focused on solving this case and completely forgot that he was also a member of the Demon Suppression Division.

"Once they enter the village, the probability of them being marked by the evil spirit law is high. It will not be up to them whether the case is handled or not, and it will not be a simple matter whether they can leave or not."

Once you enter the ghost realm, you are trapped inside and there is no way out unless the ghost realm is broken.

"..."

Ding Datong broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and felt that Fan Bi Si's move was extremely vicious.

To be honest, if the ghost riders under his command were blinded by money and were tempted like this, there is a high possibility that they would be deceived.

Hu Rong, Tao Lifang and others looked at Fan Bi Si with surprise, and then became wary of this young man who had always been quiet, thinking that he was extremely vicious.

The young man was struck by lightning when he heard this. He felt extremely regretful and stood there in a daze.

After a while, he stamped his heels on the ground in anger:

"I, we didn't expect it. If we had known it would be like this -"

"We are all going to die anyway, so we have to fight for our chance as long as there is a glimmer of hope." Fan Bisi said.

The boy was even more regretful:

"Yes, we should fight and report to the Demon Suppression Department."

'Alas.' He sighed:

“In fact, later on everyone realized the seriousness of the problem and reported it to the town.”

According to the rules, the town should report to the county again, but in March, people from the county came to collect taxes. At that time, Dongping Village had no money to pay the taxes and had offended the government.

The government believed that Dongping Village had brought this upon itself and deserved it.

People from the government office beat them out, and the village was left to fend for itself from then on.

After many people die, even the dumbest person will know how to observe some rules that govern the occurrence of ghost cases.

This time the ghost case is a death that is transmitted from person to person.

Before the incident, the evil ghost knocks on the door, and then the members of the families whose doors are knocked will drown one after another. After their death, the evil ghost will revive and come back to knock on the door.

Moreover, it will rain on the night when the ghost incident occurs, and it will continue to rain until dawn the next day.

As time went by, the people of Dongping Village realized that the occurrence of ghost cases might be related to the rain that had been falling for nearly a month.

Everyone thought that rain was an ominous sign, so they discussed giving up their original house and finding a house closer to home.

The survivors huddled together and, taking advantage of the sunny weather, gathered together straw and other materials to build a shed to cover the village.

Fortunately, there were many people in the village, and after the ghost disaster, some died and some escaped.

The important pots, pans, and utensils were taken away by some people - the remaining household items of the murdered families were also divided up by the survivors.

The firewood and sundries that could not be taken away were left behind and used to build the farm.

There is not much time left for everyone.

The villagers realized that the time intervals between rain stops were getting shorter and shorter, and more and more people were dying, in all kinds of strange ways.

Everyone burst into unprecedented unity under the sense of crisis, and since there was a lot of straw in the village, everyone worked together and quickly built this strange manor.

Everyone moved into the new house, but there would still be knocks on the door at night, and people would still die in the village.

By the later period, many villagers had become frightened birds. They tried not to leave the village and lived a hard life relying on the remaining food.

But even so, people will still die.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, but in fact, people cannot live without water.

Later, someone in the village mysteriously drowned after drinking water, and everyone realized that this ghost disaster was not just caused by the rain - wherever there is water, there will be ghosts.

That's why Zhao Fusheng and others saw the closed door before entering the village, and the ground was covered with wood ash, all of which were for waterproofing.

The villagers were trapped in the village. If Zhao Fusheng and others had not come, everyone trapped here would have died sooner or later.

This world is already poor, and life is not easy for everyone. Before the ghost disaster occurred, the people in Dongping Village were very poor. After the ghost case occurred, everyone was trapped in the village, living off their savings and counting the days.

……

After the young man finished explaining the whole story, there was silence for a long while, and suddenly someone sobbed softly.

This cry was like a signal. At first only one person was crying, but soon everyone followed suit and shed tears silently.

"We also pay taxes. We have paid all of them, including head tax, corvée, land tax, and the Demon Suppression Bureau—"

Someone murmured quietly:
"I have paid it all. I really can't afford it anymore. Please give me a way out, adults."

"Give me a chance to live—"

They couldn't resist.

The power of ordinary people is vulnerable in front of evil spirits, and they can only wait for death in despair.

The young man also shed tears for a while, and finally wiped his eyes. Most of the dirt on his face was wiped off, revealing the pale skin underneath.

He looked at Zhao Fusheng secretly:
"My Lord said that they are from the Demon Suppression Department. Are they here to solve the ghost disaster in our village?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people held their breath, fearing that they would miss Zhao Fusheng's reply.

"Yes."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"We will stay here for two days to see if we can solve this ghost disaster."

"That's great!"

The young man cheered and continued:
"Once the adults come, we will be saved, saved! It's a pity that my parents had the accident so early, otherwise--" He thought of the sad things and was about to cry again.

Others were ecstatic but also a little overwhelmed.

Although the boy was young, he was quite capable. After being sad for a while, he saw that others only knew how to cry and laugh, so he cheered up and said:

"Uncle Shou, the adults are here to investigate a ghost case. We, we can't entertain them like this. Why don't we all go home and get some things? Those who have rice, get some rice; those who have dried vegetables, get some dried vegetables so that the adults can have a full meal and get things done." When the others heard this, their smiles froze and they looked reluctant to leave.

When the young man saw this, he said angrily:

"You're about to die, and you still care about these material possessions?" He was afraid that Zhao Fusheng and the others would be unhappy, so he secretly glanced at them, and then looked at the villagers with a look of regret:
"...When the time comes, when the time comes, if the case is not finished, we will all die together!"

After his threat, the others finally got scared and stood up in twos and threes, planning to go back to the house to get things.

"We just eat some dry food and dare not light a fire or fetch water—"

Someone said this timidly. When the young man heard this, he felt a little embarrassed and looked at Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng glanced at Wu Shaochun and shouted:
"Shaochun, go and help."

Wu Shaochun immediately understood what she meant.

He immediately stood up and walked to the center of the village. The young man didn't understand what was going on. He glanced at Zhao Fusheng and followed Wu Shaochun nervously.

He walked to the center of the village, picked a piece of empty space, and then immediately used the power of the evil spirit.

At that moment, white mist was everywhere and a cold smell of fireworks rose from the air.

The cold wind outside the village blew into the village, and the fog slowly dissipated. The young man saw that a simple stove had appeared in the open space at some point.

“Hey, this is——”

The boy was surprised.

This magic-like scene made him curious and a little scared, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Shaochun several times.

The stove was deserted. In front of it was a hollowed-out stone trough with no incense ash in it.

There were two large pots on the stove, each covered with a lid.

The stove looked strange and eerie, and it gave off a frightening and weird feeling.

When the young man was surprised, he saw Wu Shaochun bend down and blow towards the stove mouth - "Huh!"

When the young man saw this scene, he forgot his fear for a moment and felt like laughing:

"Brother, there is no firewood in the stove. I will go get some for you..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a fire appear in the empty stove with a "boom" as Wu Shaochun blew on it.

The stove was cold before, but suddenly the fire started burning brightly.

Smoke rose and the pot immediately began to boil.

"Hiss!" This strange scene immediately made the hair on the back of the boy's neck stand up. He gasped and took a few steps back.

After retreating, he immediately reacted:

"Water! Water! There's water!"

As soon as the shouting stopped, Zhao Fusheng and others stopped, and all the villagers in Dongping Village changed their expressions. Many of them rushed over and tried to put out the fire on the stove.

At this moment, the cold wind blew again outside, blowing the rain water everywhere.

The sky turned gloomy again, and a dark whirlwind formed once again.

'Tatttatt.'

A black whirlwind rolled towards the gate of Zhuangzi again amid the sound of rain, and the sound of the wind was mixed with the sound of footsteps stepping on water.

Zhao Fusheng had experience this time and looked at the ground.

Then I saw puddles of water left on the ground, and the footprints became clearer as they reached the door.

The rain gradually filled up the footprints, and then a ghost figure took shape in front of everyone.

The evil ghost walked to about ten feet away from the door, and the ghost seal on the door was activated again by the evil spirit of the evil ghost. In the blood, the two ghosts appeared again and decomposed the ghost before it had a chance to knock on the door.

A familiar reminder sounded in Zhao Fusheng's sea of ​​consciousness:

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

The familiar reminder tone sounded again, and Zhao Fusheng was surprised and happy.

She originally thought that spending two thousand merit points to place a ghost seal on Dongping Village was a pure loss-making deal, but she did not expect that within a short period of time, Dongping Village would give her such a big surprise.

"How many ghosts are there in your village?"

She murmured, and suddenly regretted that she had only said she would stay for two days.

Dongping Village was like a paradise for her. If the frequency of evil spirits appearing at this time continued, and ghosts continued to appear, within an hour, the 2000 merit points she consumed when printing would be fully earned back - or even more.

"I, we don't know either—"

Upon hearing what Zhao Fusheng said, the villagers of Dongping Village suddenly panicked, looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Forget it. We have to stay for two more days anyway. We can naturally find out how many ghosts are here." After Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, the others responded.

The stove summoned by Wu Shaochun started to burn with ghost fire, and smoke was boiling in the pot.

As the smoke rose, it turned into a myriad of wisps of fireworks, flying towards every villager in Dongping Village within Wu Shaochun's sight.

The smoke from the fireworks turned into thin white ghost lines, entwined around the boy's wrist, and turned into a faint ghost mark on his wrist.

The young man was panicked and scared. He raised his hands and looked at Wu Shaochun at a loss.

Wu Shaochun said:

"This is the stove I asked for--"

"God," Zhao Fusheng interrupted him and continued:

"This is the Kitchen God summoned by Shaochun. Wherever there is a Kitchen God, he can protect the villagers. Those who are protected by the Kitchen God will have such a mark."

She pointed to the mark on the boy's wrist and explained:

"As long as this mark remains, you will be able to intercept one or two evil spirits when you encounter them again, so that nothing will happen to you right away."

Everyone understood the meaning of her words and were overjoyed.

The young man bowed down and said:

"It turned out to be the Kitchen God. Thank you for your protection. If our village can really survive this disaster, we will burn incense and paper to fulfill our vows in the future and thank the Kitchen God for his protection—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of something he had overlooked, turned his head to look at the gate, and then looked at Zhao Fusheng:
"And the Door God, thank you for your blessings, thank you for your blessings, sir."

"Thank you, Door God and Kitchen God."

When the villagers learned of the situation, they all prostrated themselves and their cries shook the sky.

Zhao Fusheng knew that the incense value of the door gods kept increasing in the sea, and the number of believers was also increasing.

She was not clear about the situation of the Kitchen Ghost, but after Wu Shaochun received this kneeling worship, his pale face, which had been caused by the battle with the paper man Zhang last night, instantly eased a lot. It was obvious that having the kneeling worship of the believer was of great help to him.

……

The villagers kowtowed, expressed gratitude, and cried for a long time before dispersing one by one.

The door god has displayed his divine power three times, keeping out the evil spirit that had plagued Dongping Village three times. The people in Zhuangzi are extremely grateful to the Demon Suppression Bureau.

As a result, when people took food, they were no longer reluctant as before, but were much more generous. Many people's faces were no longer sad and desperate, and there was even a hint of smiles on their faces.

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Ding Datong came close to Zhao Fusheng:
"Are you prepared to stay here for two days?"

"Of course. When has our master ever broken his word?"

Zhang Chuanshi knew Zhao Fusheng very well, so he responded when he heard this.

"Then I'll ask Jiang Ying and Hu Rong to clean up a clean room for you." After Ding Datong finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Fusheng and nodded in agreement, then led his people away.
