I become a god in another world

Chapter 409 Still Too Poor
Chapter 409
Everyone's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

The villagers in Dongping Village were both surprised and happy. They sat in a group near the stove from a distance, looking timidly towards the gate of the village and did not dare to come over.

The villagers were terrified by the sight of ghosts and the resurrection of evil spirits, but they dared not make a sound.

At this time, the rain stopped and the wind died down, and Zhao Fusheng returned to the gate of the village, so he wondered if the ghost case had been solved.

But the villagers were too timid to dare to come and ask, so they discussed in a low voice and wanted to ask Li Dongping to come and find out something.

Li Dongping is quite courageous, and he really intends to join the Demon Suppression Division. Tonight, he witnessed everyone in the Demon Suppression Division working together to solve the ghost disaster, which made him very excited and he wanted to join the Demon Suppression Division even more.

When the villagers recommended him, he immediately agreed.

The young man strode over, but the moment he approached Zhao Fusheng and the others, he felt an inexplicable awe in his heart. He dared not walk too fast, and stood cautiously by the door. He happened to hear Zhao Fusheng mention the "Red Shoes Ghost Case".

He didn't dare to make a sound, so he just listened quietly.

After Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, he turned to look at him:
"The ghost case in Dongping Village has been solved."

In fact, the ghost disaster in this village came inexplicably.

Most of the ghost disasters Zhao Fusheng had dealt with were traced back to their sources by following clues.

For example, in the Shilipo ghost case, Luo Wu and others first killed Qiao Yuesheng, which led to the tragedy. Then Qiao Yuesheng's evil ghost revived and killed all the people in Shilipo.

But the ghost disaster in Dongping Village is different.

According to Li Dongping, the first person to die in the village was Uncle Wang San, who accidentally fell into the river. Eventually, the evil spirit revived and killed his mother after returning home.

According to previous experience in handling cases, Master Wang San should be the source of the ghost disaster.

But another feature of this ghost case is that it was raining.

Wherever it rains, there is a ghost town.

The stronger the ghost domain is, the heavier the rain is, the wider the range it covers will be, and more and more people will die. Their deaths are all very strange, but they all have one thing in common - they are all related to water.

These victims either fell into the river and died, or fell into washbasins or livestock troughs and drowned, or even choked to death after drinking water.

From these characteristics, we can infer that this ghost case has similarities and should be related to the same evil spirit law.

But if it was an evil ghost, then the ghost domain would expand rapidly within more than half a year. With so many people dead, the ghost would at least be upgraded to a disaster level.

However, in the process of resolving the ghost disaster, Zhao Fusheng discovered that the evil ghosts in this place were reviving continuously, but the rank of each evil ghost was not high, only at the evil level at most.

This makes a lot of things go wrong.

In addition, judging from the rainy scene, Li Dongping mentioned that it had been raining here before Master Wang Sanye died. Zhao Fusheng speculated that Master Wang Sanye was not the source of this ghost disaster.

On the contrary, he is most likely a victim of a ghost disaster.

This gave Zhao Fusheng a strange feeling - as if someone had deliberately planted a 'seed' related to ghost disaster here, so as to take this opportunity to kill people.

Paper figure Zhang?
This name first came to her mind, but as soon as the thought came to her mind, Zhao Fusheng became alert.

Paper Man Zhang is indeed a cunning person who acts viciously and unscrupulously, but if she thinks of Paper Man Zhang first when something strange happens, it will form an inertial thinking that will weaken her thinking ability and judgment.

This matter has not been clarified yet. We cannot jump to conclusions without any clues. Otherwise, if we make a wrong prediction, we will be in a dangerous situation.

It's just that the villagers are timid and ignorant, and her speculation will not help at all, but will only trigger a crisis for the villagers.

So she just mentioned that the case should be resolved, and when the villagers heard this, everyone smiled.

"Really?"

"Great!"

"I am also worried that I won't be able to plant next year as spring is approaching—"

“Do you have any seeds left at home?”

"——Yes, my son wanted to eat some, but I couldn't bear to give it away, so I left some for him."

As soon as the man finished his excited words, the person who asked the question said in annoyance:

"I don't have much left—"

……

Everyone was talking at once, and their faces looked more lively, sweeping away the sadness in their eyes and the gloom between their brows. The village finally became lively.

Although the situation was difficult, after the ghost case was solved, the villagers saw hope and became much more positive.

The villagers began to take the initiative to clean up the farm and clear out the houses for everyone to live in.

Those who had surplus food at home would take out the food that had been hidden for a long time.

Everyone worked together to greet the people from the Demon Suppression Division.

As a general of Changping County, Ding Datong was surrounded by people wherever he went and was feared by everyone. However, fear was different from the villagers' true gratitude.

When people repeatedly tried to stuff homemade dried fruits into his mouth and enthusiastically offered to boil water for him to wash his face, he finally couldn't hold back his cold expression and fled to Zhao Fusheng's side.

When he sat down, Liu Yizhen and others also surrounded Zhao Fusheng.

"grown ups--"

When Ding Datong called Zhao Fusheng this time, he no longer had the same flattery as before, but instead added a bit of sincerity:

"Your Excellency has really helped Dongping Village a lot, and we have also benefited from your Excellency's help."

Zhao Fusheng was still looking at the mud on her feet. When she heard Ding Datong's words, she responded.

Seeing her actions, Wu Shaochun, who was standing by, broke off a bamboo stick from somewhere and handed it to her. Zhao Fusheng took it and thanked her, then used the stick to scrape the dirt off her feet.

She thought about it, then raised the reddish brown soil to her nose and smelled it.

"..."

Ding Datong was stunned and dared not say a word.

"There is a foul smell." Zhao Fusheng said, and then turned his head and shouted to Fan Bisi:

"Da Fan, smell it."

Fan Bisi's heart moved, remembering that when he came back from the town at noon, Zhao Fusheng also noticed the mud on his shoes.

Is there something wrong with the soil?
Thinking of this, Fan Bi Si took the muddy bamboo stick from her hand.

The soil was stirred into a ball about the size of a date. Before he even got close to his nose, he smelled a foul odor.

Fan Bisi felt disgusted at first and instinctively wanted to throw away the bamboo stick.

But as soon as he moved, he stopped what he was doing and sniffed again.

When he smelled it again this time, he felt that the stench was a little strange.

"Sir, Dafan's nose is not as sharp as mine—"

When Wu Shaochun saw Fan Bisi holding the lump of mud in a trance, he immediately became anxious:

"I'll give it a sniff too. Maybe I can smell something good or bad."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Then you smell it too."

Fan Bisi hesitated for a moment and handed the mud ball in his hand to him.

Wu Shaochun took it and sniffed it gently.

Just as he said, he controlled the stove ghost and his sense of smell was extremely sensitive. As soon as he smelled it, all kinds of complex smells rushed straight to the top of his head through his nasal cavity, stimulating him and making him shudder.

Zhao Fusheng looked at him with a smile:

"What does Shaochun smell?"

Wu Shaochun was mature and prudent. He didn't rush to speak after hearing this. Instead, he sniffed twice more, rubbed his nose, handed the mud to Fan Wujiu, who already looked anxious, and said:

"The smell of rotten meat." After the incident in Dongping Village, some of the villagers fled, some of the evil spirits resurrected after death, but some of them still fell into a real eternal sleep after death, with their bodies sinking in the mud and not seeing the light of day for more than half a year.

This place is in the ghost realm, and it is normal for corpses to rot after going through the spring and summer.

When Zhao Fusheng was handling a case, he had been standing in the corpse field for a long time, with his feet stuck in the pit. It was normal for the mud on his feet to have a bad smell.

But Wu Shaochun said:

"There is a strong smell of evil spirits and blood..." He hesitated for a while, and Zhao Fusheng looked at him encouragingly. He suddenly felt a little more confident and said:

"My Lord, it smells like an old cemetery to me."

"The old cemetery?"

Liu Yizhen, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

After hearing Wu Shaochun's analysis, the others smelled the mud and indeed smelled the stench of corpse, ghost and blood. If they smelled it more carefully, they could even sense a vague resentment and unwilling regret.

——It’s like the unwilling obsession that lingers on a person before he dies.

“It really smells like an old cemetery.”

Liu Yizhen said after hearing this.

Zhang Chuanshi put his hands in his sleeves. Seeing that everyone else was sniffing, his eyes flickered and he covered his nose:

"You guys can smell it, I won't smell it anyway—"

Ding Datong hesitated for a moment, stuffed the dried fruit in his hand into his sleeves, and squeezed forward:

"Sir, let me smell it too."

Everyone in Wan'an County turned to look at him. Zhao Fusheng's eyes fell on him and he looked at him for a long while. Then he smiled slightly and motioned Liu Yizhen to hand the things to him.

As soon as the rotten mud touched his hands, a chill passed through the bamboo stick and reached Ding Datong's palms.

His pupils shrank and he sighed immediately:
"Ghost spirit."

The ghost rider is more sensitive to the power of evil spirits, and he sensed the ghost energy from this lump of mud.

Ding Datong turned his head to look outside the village. The ghost domain in Dongping Village had been disbanded, the ghost fog had dissipated, and the heavy rain had stopped. Logically speaking, even if there was any residual ghost energy in the soil, it should have dissipated.

"grown ups--"

As soon as Ding Datong spoke, Zhao Fusheng said:

"It looks like the mud here—"

She paused at this point, and then thought of the footprints filled with blood:

"There must be something wrong with the footprints here."

After saying this, she looked at Wu Shaochun:
"Shaochun, you will leave a ghost stove here later. Before we leave, let the villagers worship the stove and give them a ghost seal."

The highest grade of ghost disaster in Dongping Village is the evil level. Wu Shaochun's evil ghost has reached the disaster level. Once the ghost seal is placed, the evil ghost can be suppressed.

Even if the source of the ghost disaster in Huangma Town has not been found, the ghost disaster here will not cause any trouble as long as there is a disaster-level ghost seal.

"it is good."

Wu Shaochun nodded in agreement.

Zhao Fusheng said to Fan Bisi:
"After all this time, I think it's almost dawn. Later, you can ask Li Dongping to call the villagers to collect the body from the mud outside and find a place to bury it as soon as possible."

Huangma Town no longer has a mayor to preside over the overall situation. There are many rotting corpses here, and if they are not properly handled, an epidemic may easily break out.

"After cleaning up, Manzhou——" Zhao Fusheng sighed and looked at Kuai Manzhou:

"You are required to smooth out the 'footprints' here."

No one except Kuai Manzhou could do such a task.

When the little girl heard her words, she nodded silently in agreement.

Ding Datong took the initiative to say:

"Sir, let us help as well."

"Okay." Zhao Fusheng said:

"After we finish our work here, we will go to Wenxing County to see what the situation is like in the county."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone agreed and then dispersed.

Meng Po originally wanted to help, but was stopped by everyone.

She consumed a lot of energy during this day and night.

First, he lost the blood moon, then he made soup to exorcise ghosts, and after that he might be busy again when he returns to the county, so he needs to conserve his energy.

Zhao Fusheng also took a break.

A house was prepared for her in the manor. She returned to the house and began to count her gains and losses in Dongping Village.

After escaping from the boat, she didn't expect that the village she accidentally entered would give her such a big surprise.

The damaged ghost troupe was completely repaired and even became stronger than before.

Apart from the consumption of opening two layers of hell, summoning the door gods, and suppressing the troupe, she now has 96952 merit points left.

With only 3,000 merit points left, she could collect 100,000 merit points, and then she would be able to deify Qiao Yuesheng and Liu Huacheng in Wan'an County at the same time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng couldn't help feeling a little excited.

It turned out that this trip to Changping County was the right one.

The case in Dongping Village was only the beginning of the ghost cases she had encountered. The real source of disaster might be in Wenxing County - even the general who was on the verge of losing control in Shangyang County might contribute some merit points to her.

When Zhao Fusheng thought of this, his mind changed and he touched the List of Gods with his consciousness again: opening the seventh level of hell.

The idea was too risky.

Fortunately, she changed her mind and the List of Gods immediately prompted: Do you want to consume 100000 merit points to open the seventh level of hell?

One hundred thousand merit points!
The result of the test was just as Zhao Fusheng expected.

She breathed a sigh of relief and gave up on opening the seventh level of hell.

"It seems that the god positions in the Conferred God List should also be opened with two 50,000 merit points. When they are opened again, at least 100,000 merit points will be required."

In addition to Liu Huacheng and Qiao Yuesheng, she currently needs to deify a ghost troupe.

The Ghost Troupe has a connection with her, and after forming a bond with her, they are willing to stay by her side, but the Yellow Springs Troupe are, after all, ghosts, not humans.

It is the nature of evil spirits to kill people after all.

The role of the Huangquan Opera Troupe is too special and extraordinary. In addition to killing people, the primary rule is more attractive to ghosts and can be of great use at critical moments.

But using too much still has its drawbacks. After the Huangquan Opera Troupe becomes stronger, they will still want to kill Zhao Fusheng first. Using Hell to suppress them alone is not a long-term solution. In the end, they still have to find a way to deify the opera troupe.

In this case, the merit points required are at least 20 - and in the process of solving a ghost case, some merit points may be consumed in order to save lives and suppress ghosts.

In addition, Shen Yishu is a source of danger.

After escaping from the ghost realm yesterday, Zhao Fusheng left Paper Man Zhang to restrain Shen Yishu. Zhao Fusheng always felt that Paper Man Zhang was an evil person and would not die at the hands of a ghost.

Zhao Fusheng didn't know how he escaped, but Shen Yishu was always a nuisance.

The Demon Suppression Division and its members were all marked by the Red Shoes Ghost last night. With such a mark, Shen Yishu would have to face it sooner or later.

In this way, the merit points are not enough.

After the god position is opened in the List of Gods, the corresponding hell must also be opened as a balance.
