I become a god in another world

Chapter 51 Decomposing the Ghost Coffin
Chapter 51

After the cause and effect of the matter were all sorted out, Zhao Fusheng fell into deep thought.

After a while, she raised her head as if she had figured something out:

"A coffin that has lost its parts cannot trap the evil ghost. If the evil ghost wakes up in Liu's house, and the ghost realm envelopes the place, it will kill the Liu family first."

According to her rough understanding of ghosts at this time:
"After all the Liu family's descendants are killed, according to what you said about the beggar ghost before, this evil ghost will probably search its own head first to piece together its ghost body, right?"

"Yes." Liu Yizhen agreed again.

"And the key point for the ghost disaster to occur is when your grandfather's sixtieth birthday occurs."

According to the records, Liu Huacheng was a very wealthy person, and his nephews and nephews had already been planning for a big birthday.

The Liu family has set up a running banquet to entertain people from all over Wan'an County. Anyone who is interested can go to Liu's house to have a drink of water and wine.

Zhao Fusheng pursed his lips and murmured:
"If you want to host such a banquet, you need to prepare in advance, right?"

Liu Yizhen was extremely intelligent. After hearing what she said, he seemed to understand her intention. He couldn't help but look at her, nodded and said:

"Yes, as early as a year ago, the Liu family began to prepare for my grandfather's birthday."

In other words, the news of Liu Huacheng's [-]th birthday party had already spread in Wan'an County.

Given the reputation of the Liu family at the time, not everyone knew about this matter, but at least most people in the county should have heard about it - which meant that it was no longer a secret.

"Is it possible that someone had learned about your grandfather's birthday earlier and deliberately stole the coffin nails at this critical juncture?"

Zhao Fusheng guessed:
"Firstly, the Liu family was busy with your grandfather's birthday and neglected to guard the ghost coffin; secondly, the person who stole the nails from the coffin deliberately found the right time and wanted the ghost to revive on your grandfather's birthday."

"The person who stole the coffin nails wanted to cause a big disaster." Liu Yizhen said calmly.

Judging from his tone and demeanor, Zhao Fusheng's guess was also his (or Liu Huacheng's) guess, and the grandparents and grandson might have guessed something.

After the headless ghost revived, the ghost realm immediately enveloped the Liu residence at that time.

You must know that the Liu family at that time was not only the Liu family and their servants, but also most of the birthday wishers from Wan'an County who rushed to the banquet.

This ghost disaster may affect tens of thousands of people.

So as soon as the incident happened, everyone couldn't sit still.

Liu Huacheng couldn't bear the death of all his Liu family's descendants, so he later cooperated with Su Long and Zhang Xiongwu.

Please use Su Long to talk.

Although he is a ghost controller and will die sooner or later, he is still a human being, and as long as he is a human being, he cannot escape the benefits.

Su Long died soon, but he still had family members and heirs. Half of the Liu family's wealth was enough for his descendants to live a life of wealth and squandering.

The most important thing is that he is in charge of the Demon Division in Wan'an County. Once a big ghost case like Liu's Ancestral Hall comes out, he can't escape at all.

But it is difficult to convince Zhang Xiongwu.

The Zhang family is good at making ghost lanterns. The functions of this ghost lantern are mysterious and can save people's lives at critical moments.

Those who have been dealing with ghosts all year round in the Demon Suppression Division are willing to sacrifice all their wealth to get one.

The people from the Demon Suppressing Division sit on one side, plundering the people's wealth for their own enjoyment and squandering. If they can exchange money for ghost lanterns, these people will naturally not be stingy. Therefore, the Zhang family may seem inconspicuous on the outside, but the wealth in the world may not be worth it to them. carry.

What they want is probably something more special.

Liu Huacheng acted decisively and immediately thought of the ghost coffin.

The coffin had lost its nails and it would be difficult to trap the evil ghost, so he disassembled the evil object and used the coffin lid as a bargaining chip to propose to Zhang Xiongwu that he and Su Long join forces.

Liu Yizhen may not know the detailed process. Liu Huacheng, who knew all this, has passed away.

However, the cooperation between the two parties went smoothly, which shows that both parties should be very satisfied with this transaction.

The ghost coffin threw the coffin nails first and then the coffin lid, making it more difficult to trap the headless ghost corpse. Therefore, Su Long and Zhang Xiongwu found another way to 'enshrine' the beggar ghost, which in disguise replaced the coffin nails and coffin lid. The effect sealed the headless ghost again.

Su Long's method was bloody and cruel.

But at the time, his approach was successful.

At the cost of the lives of thousands of innocent people in the future, the blood of the Liu family 40 years ago was saved, as well as the ordinary people who participated in Liu Huacheng's birthday banquet at that time.

Zhao Fusheng could not comment on Su Long's behavior. Perhaps in this era when human lives are at stake, Su Long's method might even be called "the best strategy" by others.

But Su Long did have some remaining 'humanity' in the end, or there were some other factors that influenced him, so he did not record this process.

This ghost case showed something cruel.

The lives of ordinary people are as cheap as mud, but the rich can exchange their wealth for their lives.

No one is born equal.

"laugh."

She laughed, and all the emotions in her heart were revealed with this "sneer" laugh.

However, Zhao Fusheng is not a saint. She is unable to reverse the past events, nor can she save the innocent people who were killed by ghosts.

She put her mind back on the ghost coffin. After clarifying all the causes and consequences, Zhao Fusheng already had an idea in her mind. She smiled and asked Liu Yizhen:

"Yizhen, who do you think stole these coffin nails?"

"I don't know." Liu Yizhen shook his head blankly.

She raised her eyebrows and asked again with a smile:

"Do you really not know or don't want to speculate?"

Liu Huacheng has experienced ups and downs in his life. This man is not a vegetarian. He has both vision and courage. He has dominated Wan'an County for many years, and his connections and qualifications are extraordinary.

He dared to use the coffin lid of the ghost coffin to trade with Zhang Xiongwu, which shows that there must be something inside.

The Zhang family has a high status in Wan'an County and is feared by everyone, but Zhao Fusheng is not afraid of paper people.

Seeing that Liu Yizhen was cautious in his words, she asked him bluntly:

"Did Zhang Xiongwu steal these coffin nails?"

"I dare not speculate, after all, there is no evidence." Liu Yizhen said seriously again.

But he is not a fool. Such words can reveal a lot of information.

He just didn't dare to speculate, there was no evidence, but he should have some doubts about it.

In other words, it is very likely that Zhang Xiongwu stole the coffin nails.

Thinking more carefully, Zhang Xiongwu coveted the ghost coffin, but he knew that the Liu family's defense was extremely tight, and the Demon Suppressor had probably received the emperor's order to strictly guard the coffin.

He wanted to get the coffin, but ordinary methods wouldn't work.If you steal the coffin lid, the target is too big and easy to be exposed, and the evil spirit sealed inside the ghost coffin will wake up immediately after the lid is lost.

But if you just steal a coffin nail from the ghost's coffin, it is relatively easy.

The target of the coffin nail is small, and the ghost coffin has sealed the evil ghost. As long as there is no abnormal movement, the people sent by Liu Huacheng to guard it may not dare to approach it at all times. Once it is lost, it will be difficult to be discovered.

After the ghost coffin is no longer intact, its power decreases. Over time, the headless ghost revives and causes trouble. At this time, once the Liu family starts dying, Liu Huacheng will definitely be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

The Liu family was well-known in Wan'an County back then, but they were no ordinary family.

The file records that the Liu clan and its servants totaled 592 people. If Liu Huacheng wanted to save his clan, he could only turn to capable people to clean up the mess.

Once you are controlled by others, you can only let others take whatever you want.

At that time, the only people in Wan'an County who could clean up the aftermath were Su Long and Zhang Xiongwu.

One of them controls ghosts, and the other uses a ghost lamp to control ghosts. They are both thieves who might steal the lid of a ghost's coffin.

The reason why Zhao Fusheng did not suspect Su Long was because, apart from Su Long's own obligations, Liu Yizhen also personally admitted that Liu Huacheng used money to impress Su Long, but Zhang Xiong did not accept the money. The fifth is to obtain a ghost coffin lid that cannot be measured by money.

——The hidden value of such a thing is far more important than money.

If there hadn't been such a ghost disaster, it would not have been easy for Zhang Xiongwu to get the ghost coffin lid.

Therefore, Zhao Fusheng suspected that he was a thief and wanted to catch a thief.

Her thoughts became clearer and she even sorted out the general outline of the matter in her mind:

As Zhang Xiongwu, he might have learned early on that a headless ghost corpse was sealed in a ghost coffin under the Liu family's ancestral hall.

(This is not Zhao Fusheng’s guess out of thin air, but what she concluded based on an earlier unintentional remark by the Fan brothers, Zhang Chuanshi and others, that is: the Zhang family has always maintained a good relationship with the Wan’an County Demon Suppression Commander. )
But Zhao Fusheng is not a simple person, so he will not be fooled by the simple words "good relationship".

Under such understatement, the cooperation between Zhang Xiongwu and Zhenmosi should be complicated, and many secrets are shared.

Zhang Xiongwu learned about the past of the headless ghost corpse, so he came up with the idea of ​​​​a ghost coffin.

He had been patient and waiting for the opportunity to come, and Liu Huacheng's birthday was the opportunity for him to take action.

So taking advantage of the Liu family's birthday, he found a way to steal the coffin nails. The evil ghost then revived, and then a ghost realm appeared in the Liu family.

When ghost troubles come together, Liu Huacheng will definitely have someone who wants to solve the ghost troubles.

At that time, Zhang Xiongwu only needs to sit at home with peace of mind, and Liu Huacheng will take the initiative to come to the door with what he wants.

……

Judging from Liu Yizhen's reaction, Liu Huacheng might have suspected Zhang Xiongwu of planning this ghost case when he was alive. But from his perspective, if he wanted to save the Liu family, he knew it was a trap and had no choice but to jump in.

When Zhao Fusheng thought of this, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

She couldn't help but take out the jade book from her arms, and then Liu Yizhen saw her fingertips rubbing a person's name a few times, until the black and red spiteful villain was bleeding. While smiling and scolding:
"damn thing."

"..." He had some doubts about Zhao Fusheng's mental state.

The next moment, she stuffed the jade book back into her arms as if nothing had happened, and said as if nothing had happened:

"I already understand the things here. The ghost trouble in Confucius Temple has been solved for the time being. You might as well stay here -" Now the two of them had made their words clear, and Zhao Fusheng already knew the situation in Confucius Temple.

Liu Yizhen must not leave the Confucius Temple.

He is equivalent to shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the Headless Ghost and Liu Huacheng.

The former is still lying in the coffin, while the latter has also been temporarily restrained by the headless ghost and has not fully recovered.

Although the ghost coffin is no longer complete, it is still very important now. Wan'an County cannot bear the trouble. Until Zhao Fusheng fully activates the list of gods and has absolute strength, these two big ghosts will never be awakened.

"Don't leave, keep an eye on them. I will try my best to solve the matter of the Demon Suppressor. I won't trouble you unless necessary."

She made her feelings known.

The purpose of exchanging rosters with Liu Yizhen was to blackmail each other. After knowing the inside story, she naturally couldn't really use Liu Yizhen as an ordinary envoy.

"Okay." Liu Yizhen's eyes became much gentler, with a faint smile on his face.

He didn't see the wrong person.

Zhao Fusheng is smart and astute, not a reckless fool.

"You also have to be careful." He finished speaking quite restrainedly, and then added:
"Try to live a little longer."

The chiefs of the Demon Suppressing Division were replaced by Ji Qin. Su Long did not stay in Wan'an County for long before the evil ghost revived and eventually died at the hands of Shao Wenxun. It has to be said that almost all the ghost control people in the Demon Suppressing Division were All have tragic but short lives.

His words of wishing Zhao Fusheng to live a little longer were not a curse, but came from his sincerity.

"It has been a scourge for thousands of years. It is not easy for me to die." Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly.

Liu Yizhen also chuckled.

The two people's previous suspicion and defensiveness about each other were temporarily put aside at this time. Maybe the two sides still couldn't fully trust each other at this time, but through verbal communication, they still appreciated each other a little more.

The two were silent for a moment, enjoying the rare peace at this time.

After a while, Zhao Fusheng calmed down and said:

"Before I go, I have to ask you to do me a favor."

"You said it." Liu Yizhen nodded.

Zhao Fusheng said:
"The ghost trouble here has been solved, but I think the survivors have been frightened by the ghosts and refuse to believe my words."

Under the threat of the evil spirits, the surviving people's brains became rigid, and their bodies maintained mechanical movements of hiding and eating. Faced with the evil spirits, they did not dare to go out or try to escape.

"Okay." Liu Yizhen responded, turned back to the main hall, found the gong from behind the corner of the door panel and took it out, then took the gong and knocked it several times.

This sound is a signal.

The originally silent street suddenly heard the sound of opening doors one after another. The survivors living in the houses came out one by one and rushed towards the Confucius Temple like zombies.

"..." The smile on Zhao Fusheng's face slowly disappeared, the corners of her raised mouth tightened, and her expression gradually became stern.

Liu Yizhen secretly looked at her from the corner of his eye.

Ever since she entered the begging alley and the two of them interacted, she had laughed and cursed. She had a slightly snarky personality, which was elusive, and her mood and anger were intangible.

The reason for the beggar ghost in Confucius Temple did not make her angry, and Liu Huacheng's identity did not surprise her. She could also accept the fact that there were three ghosts in Confucius Temple...

But only now when she saw the people staggering over from a distance, her face turned ugly for a moment.

At this moment, she clenched her fists tightly, seeming to be controlling her inner emotions.

But soon, she quickly returned to her previous cynical appearance, as if the severity at that moment was just Liu Yizhen's eyesight.
