I become a god in another world

Chapter 422: Calming Down the Ghost Disaster
Chapter 422

When Zhao Fusheng saw the plaque, he felt relieved.

As long as the plaque is still there, her trip to Wenxing County will not be a loss.

She calmed herself down and reached out to the plaque.

The plaque was covered with dust, and the three large gold-plated characters "Demon Suppression Division" on it seemed to have been forcibly erased by some strange force.

The plaque was surrounded by dense water droplets. When Zhao Fusheng's fingers touched the water droplets, it felt like being pricked by a needle. The pain was transmitted to her sea of ​​consciousness, and the cold air penetrated her body, causing her to subconsciously retract her hand, "hiss."

After she finished shouting, she reached out to grab the plaque in disbelief.

However, the plaque was stuck very tightly to the top, as if nailed there by a strange force, and no matter how hard she shook it, she couldn't remove it.

"Fusheng?" Liu Yizhen saw her actions from below and couldn't help but say:
"Do you want me to help?"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves twice.

"No need." Zhao Fusheng shook his head and continued to summon the power of the beggar ghost.

The evil spirit revived and her arm quickly lost temperature and changed color.

As soon as the ghost arm changes, the laws are activated.

Zhao Fusheng raised his hand and knocked on the plaque "dong dong dong".

Every time she knocked, it seemed to have a huge impact on the plaque, and the water mist condensed on the plaque began to splash out.

The plaque that was originally firmly stuck on the top began to loosen and fell into Zhao Fusheng's hands.

As soon as she got the plaque, she opened Hell and took it inside.

The moment the shadow of hell swallowed the plaque, Zhao Fusheng's sea of ​​consciousness began to shake, and gusts of cold wind blew in hell, and the ghosts imprisoned in hell were frightened and suppressed.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Fusheng was stunned.

After a while, nothing strange happened, so she shouted:
"Man Zhou, let me go."

The thin black ghost energy that was hanging her up slowly descended. After she landed, she summoned the Ghost and God Order and also left a mark on the gate of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

As the door god's mark was struck, blood shot up into the sky, like a sharp blade that cut a crack in the dark clouds covering the Wenxing County Demon Suppression Bureau.

The haze was driven away by the power of the door gods and dissipated in all directions. In an instant, the existence of the door gods' imprints cleared a clean area near the Demon Suppression Division.

Everyone had seen the domineering nature of the door god's brand along the way, so they were not surprised to see this scene. Instead, Zhao Fusheng looked at the bloodstain on the door panel with a thoughtful look at the moment the brand was made.

"My lord, is there something wrong?"

Seeing that she looked strange, Wu Shaochun came over and asked.

"I--" Zhao Fusheng was about to explain, but he finally looked around and sighed:
"It's okay, we'll talk about this later. Can you sense if there are any survivors in the county? We quickly cleaned up the mess in Wenxing County and rushed to Shangyang County."

"Yes."

Wu Shaochun could see that she hadn't finished speaking, but he still nodded and responded when he heard it.

He exited the Demon Suppression Division and summoned the Ghost Stove.

As the gray ghost smoke slowly rose, Wu Shaochun's figure disappeared on the spot.

The will-o'-the-wisp fire in the stove grew larger and the pot began to boil.

Meng Po heard the movement of the ghost stove and moved her fingers, forcing herself to divert her attention:
"Sir, do you think there are still people alive in Wenxing County?"

Zhao Fusheng didn't say anything, but looked into the distance.

The sky was getting brighter, and in the faint light and shadow, after an unknown amount of time, thin smoke began to slowly drift toward the sky from the chimneys of some houses in Wenxing County - this was Wu Shaochun's response.

Meng Po was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face.

Ding Datong also saw the wisp of smoke.

He had been controlling ghosts for several years and thought his heart had become hardened, but when he saw the wisp of smoke rising, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"There are still living people."

Wu Shaochun controls the kitchen ghost.

Every household has a stove. With the power of a ghost, he can move back and forth between the stoves and detect whether there are any living people in the house at the first time.

……

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the survivors in Wenxing County.

From September onwards, it rained continuously in the county, and then ghost sightings began to occur frequently in various places. By mid-October, accidents also began to occur in the county government office.

The first person to die was a legal advisor, and later the county magistrate fell into a lotus pond and drowned. After that, the ghost disaster became more and more serious, and people in the county government office fled or hid.

After November, the rain became heavier and heavier, and more and more people died. The ghost disaster spread like a plague.

Many people's relatives died mysteriously in the flood, but after the funerals were held, the deceased suddenly returned at night.

Out of fear, many people dare not go out anymore.

When the disaster became more and more serious, everyone mustered up the courage to report it to the Demon Suppression Division, but they found that the Demon Suppression Division had long been deserted and there was no sign of a living person inside.

The people in the city realized that something was wrong. Some wanted to escape, but found that they could not find a way out of the city.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and we lost our way out of the city.

In despair, everyone could only stay at home and wait for death.

During this period, many people could hear the noises of their next-door neighbors the day before, but the noises disappeared without a trace the next day.

On the same night, the rain will suddenly get heavier, and there will be obvious sounds of water leaking next door, followed by strange footsteps.

When everyone bravely went to check the next day, they saw an empty house - the neighbor next door had disappeared at some point.

Under such circumstances, more and more people are dying and fewer and fewer people are living.

No one knew how long they had been enduring, and everyone thought that sooner or later they would all die from ghost disasters. But one night, a young man crawled out of the stove in the home of a survivor in Wenxing County.

He mentioned to everyone that a new general from the Demon Suppression Division had arrived in Wenxing County, and was already dealing with the ghost disaster in the county government. He also placed divine seals on the city gates and the Demon Suppression Division to protect the people.

He calls himself Wu Shaochun, and is sent by the newly appointed envoy to inspect the territory of Wenxing County, leaving his scent on the stoves of every household.

Wu Shaochun mentioned: As long as there is a stove where he has appeared, ghosts will smell the scent and run away in the future and will no longer harm the remaining people.

……

In the home of a man surnamed Wang, the stove that had been turned off suddenly made a noise. With a "boom" sound, a green flame lit up out of nowhere.

The family, who had been huddled in the corner by the stove, were terrified when they saw the fire.

There was a gurgling sound inside the pot, and suddenly the wooden lid was pushed open by a force from the inside, and the young Wu Shaochun climbed out of the pot.

“There are living people here too.”

Wu Shaochun couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He immediately blurted out his prepared words again:

"Wenxing County is now under the control of the new Lord Zhao Fusheng. The ghost disaster here——"

"If you are afraid, wait until daybreak and go to the Demon Suppression Division or the city gate to copy the seal of the door god. Just post the seal of the door god in front of your door, and the ghosts will not invade."

He said, and turned to leave.

“……” The stunned Wang family finally reacted after seeing this scene.

The skinny old woman suddenly let out a cry and lunged forward. When she was about to grab Wu Shaochun's arm, she subconsciously shrank back, then fell heavily to her knees on the ground.

After a while, she tentatively hugged Wu Shaochun's legs:

"My Lord, my Lord is not a ghost—"

"I am an envoy under Lord Zhao." Wu Shaochun quickly pulled her back, and the old woman said:

"Is our Wenxing County really saved? Is it true, is it true that Lord Zhao wants to eliminate the evil in our county?"

"It's true. Follow the method I told you before." When Wu Shaochun said this, he remembered what Zhao Fusheng had told the people of Dongping and Hejia villages before, and added:

"You can invite the gods into your home and offer incense and worship them properly. As long as you worship them on the first and fifteenth day of each month, you will be able to keep your home peaceful."

"Yes, yes, in front of the city gate, at the Demon-Suppressing Gate, we will welcome the Gate God—"

The old woman nodded repeatedly.

Wu Shaochun also responded:
"I have other places to go, don't worry."

After he finished speaking, the fire in the stove grew bigger, and his body merged with the smoke, gradually disappearing in front of the Wang family.

The boiling pot slowly became quiet, and the stove that was previously blazing with fire became dark again.

As soon as he left, the Wang family members looked at each other in the darkness. After a long while, the old woman knelt down and burst into tears:

"This is not an adult, this is the Kitchen God appearing, the Kitchen God appearing——"

"In the future, we will offer sacrifices to the Door God and Kitchen God on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month..."

……

The same situation as in the Wang family occurred one by one in the homes of other survivors.

The survivors in Wenxing County welcomed the dawn of hope that night.

At the beginning, many people faced darkness after the initial excitement, and were worried that the previous scene was just an illusion in their despair.

But as Wu Shaochun left, the thick fog that had shrouded Wenxing County for several months began to dissipate.

The dripping sound of water that had been ringing in everyone's ears gradually disappeared. After an unknown amount of time, dawn appeared on the horizon.

Since the rain, sunny days have reappeared in Wenxing County, which had not been seen for a long time.

The sun broke through the haze and shone straight down into the city that had been shrouded in ghosts for months. The corpses that had been hidden under the mud emerged one by one.

Everything that happened last night was not a dream.

When the people opened their doors, they could see the long-lost daytime - for more than a month ago, there was no longer a distinction between day and night here.

The sun shone on everyone's face, and the survivors cried silently.

Many people thought of the door god who suppressed all ghosts mentioned by the Kitchen God last night, and they became concerned at this time. They hurriedly prepared the things to be rubbed and rushed to the city gate and the Demon Suppression Office.

In these two places, one can indeed see two ferocious and terrifying ghost marks on the door.

The ghost figure was stained with blood, and at first glance it carried an unsettling murderous aura, but when people thought of the ability of these two gods to suppress a hundred ghosts, those who arrived earlier rushed forward to burn incense and make rubbings.

While the people were bravely walking out of their houses, Zhao Fusheng and others had already left Wenxing County and embarked on the journey to Changping County.

……

"Fortunately, you had the foresight to not throw away your belongings, so I met my old friend again."

Zhang Chuanshi sat back in the driving seat.

This car carried people from the Demon Suppression Division, as well as several members of the Lu family.

While Wu Shaochun was searching thousands of households in Wenxing County, Zhao Fusheng and others were also busy.

Ding Datong also began to search for the Demon Suppression Office in Wenxing County.

It can be seen that the Demon Suppression Division is the source of disaster for the entire county. When the ghost disaster broke out, no one here could escape.

When something happened to the ghost-controlling Lingsi, an evil ghost revived. The ghosts formed a ghost domain, covering the Demon-Suppressing Division and killing all the messengers and servants there.

After the incident, all living things in the government office were killed one by one, and the ghost disaster began to spread, eventually affecting the entire city.

Because people died quickly and this was the birthplace of ghost disasters, no one dared to enter rashly, so the things here were well preserved.

Wenxing County is a city even poorer than Wan'an County.

The houses here are old and dilapidated, and the people live a hard life, but there is still a lot of gold and silver collected here - this was the proceeds of the then-chief of the Lingsi during his tenure. Unfortunately, he died from the resurrection of a fierce ghost before he could enjoy the wealth of the world.

In addition, Ding Datong also found a number of luxuriously equipped carriages behind the government office. These vehicles were of different shapes and sizes, but they were obviously very valuable. They were used by the Demon Suppression Division to enter and exit according to different occasions.

"It's a pity there are no horses."

Zhang Chuanshi said something as if he was possessed by a ghost.

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Zhao Fusheng thought of a horse.

In the Shilipo ghost case that day, the ghost horse was as unlucky as Zhang Chuanshi in having drunk Mengpo soup.

After being reincarnated from life to death, Guima's situation was special. Even though Zhao Fusheng had chopped off his horse's head with Qiao Yuesheng's ghost knife in the Liu Clan Ancestral Hall 40 years ago, Guima did not die, but was taken to hell by her.

After the fall of Wenxing County, there were no horses to pull the cart, but she still had a ghost horse available.

……

Zhang Chuanshi was a little frightened when he first saw the headless ghost horse, but after recognizing the ghost horse, he felt a little sad.

This horse can be said to have a connection with him. He drove it when it was alive, but after drinking Meng Po soup with him, it now has no head and can't avoid being driven by him.

"Apart from being a little scary, this horse has no flaws. It's still the adults who know how to manage the household."

Zhang Chuanshi flattered him with satisfaction, and then sighed:
"It's a pity that none of the gold and silver treasures in Wenxing County were taken away."

This time when searching Wenxing County, most of the county’s wealth was gathered in the Demon Suppression Division, and the amount was not small.

After discussion, Zhao Fusheng believed that these properties were taken from the people and should be used for the people.

Wenxing County is now in a critical moment. After the ghost disaster, everything needs to be rebuilt. These properties must be left to the survivors to start over.

She was worried that there would be chaos if no one was in charge of the situation in the city, so she left Zhong Yao, Yu Ping and Xia Misheng to guard the city. She would wait until the situation calmed down or until the court sent someone to take over before letting these three people stand by and leaving Wenxing County.

When Zhang Chuanshi said this, Meng Po looked at Zhao Fusheng with a smile, and a kind look appeared in her eyes:

"Your Excellency is kind, gold and silver are vulgar things—"

"That's not."

Zhao Fusheng was stubborn:
"Money is like a cloud to me, I don't want it."

"Your Excellency is confused!" Zhang Chuanshi was heartbroken.

Zhao Fusheng ignored his screams and turned to look at Kuai Manzhou.

At this time, the child was wearing a gold necklace around his neck and a pair of bracelets on each hand.

Zhao Fusheng did not take a penny from the inventory in Wenxing County, but she made great contributions in solving the ghost case. This time, the ghost disaster in Wenxing County was quelled. Kuai Manzhou also made a lot of efforts and salvaged some jewelry for the child. No one else had any complaints.

"..." Liu Yizhen followed her gaze and saw that she was staring at the gold necklace on Kuai Manzhou with a satisfied smile on her face.
