I become a god in another world

Chapter 7 Abandoned Land
Chapter 7

Fan Bisheng could tell that Zhao Fusheng didn't take his words seriously. He was a little surprised at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something and smiled:
"This is also impossible."

He has been in the Demon Suppression Division for many years and has dealt with ghosts under the command of the commander, so he is well aware of the horror of ghosts.

After all, Zhao Fusheng thinks like an ordinary person.

She was born among the people, and maybe she thought she was successful in controlling ghosts, so she became very angry for a while - in layman's terms, she didn't know the heights of the world, and she didn't have an accurate prediction of her own strength, so she still had useless pity.

Fan Bisheng was thinking: After she has dealt with ghosts and knows how powerful they are, she may change her mind.

But he did not express what was in his heart, but said:
"But there is another way to temporarily curb ghost troubles, but the risk is much higher."

Zhao Fusheng always felt that Fan Bisheng glanced at him implicitly when he said this.

She turned around and their eyes met. Fan Bisheng showed a meaningful smile, which made Zhao Fusheng feel that there was something in his words.

"What's the risk?" she asked.

"Since you already know that our Suppressing Demon Division encountered a ghost disaster, which resulted in the death of everyone in the Suppressing Demon Division, only our two brothers were left..." Fan Bisheng said here, paused, and then said:

"But do you know the cause of this ghost disaster?"

Zhao Fusheng had just arrived and didn't know much about the world. He had relied on existing information to scare the Fan brothers, so how could he know the source of the demon-suppressing evil at this time?
But she had a cautious temperament, and she did not get discouraged when someone asked her. Instead, she frowned and recalled Fan Bisheng's words in her mind again and again, and then she extracted some key and useful clues.

'Ghost trouble', 'ghost control'.

"The previous head of the Demon Suppression Department was named Zhao Qiming. He was a ghost master. Could this ghost disaster be related to the ghost controlled by Zhao Qiming?" She asked tentatively.

Fan Bisheng originally thought that she would not be able to answer such a question, but he did not expect that she would go straight to the core of the problem as soon as she opened her mouth.

"you……"

His expression changed slightly. He originally wanted to give her a blow, but not only did he fail to scare her, but she guessed the truth. He couldn't help but ask:

"How do you know?"

The verbal exchange between the two was also a kind of testing of each other. Seeing his expression, Zhao Fusheng knew that he had guessed correctly and immediately smiled:
"My guess."

Fan Bisheng's expression was a little ugly, he was silent for a while, and finally sighed longly:
"You guessed right."

"As I said, ghosts cannot be completely killed, but they can be controlled. Our former commander is the one who can control ghosts. Those who can control ghosts will have some of the abilities of ghosts, but they may also be controlled by ghosts. The evil ghost bites back."

After Zhao Fu came back from the dead, his whole person was completely reborn, and it was no longer difficult to control.

Fan Bisheng was upset and could not hold his breath. After realizing that there was something wrong with his mentality, he stopped playing riddles with her and said directly:
"Nineteen years ago, the demon-suppressing division in Wan'an County was weak. Until a man named Zhao Duan appeared at that time. This man was a man who controlled the devils. The devils he possessed were given first if he wanted to take them. Once he accepted them, Receiving a ghost's 'gift' is like making a deal with a ghost."

When ordinary people trade, they get paid for their goods, but when they trade with ghosts, they risk their lives.

He was talking about the Demon Suppression Division, but he mentioned 19 years ago for no reason.

However, this man was very thoughtful, and there must be a reason why he suddenly mentioned 19 years ago. When Zhao Fusheng heard what he said, he realized the source of the problem.

"In other words, the evil ghost that killed 'me' before was the ghost that Zhao Duan envoyed 19 years ago?"

When she mentioned 'I', she looked a little awkward.

However, Fan Bisheng didn't pay attention to such trivial matters. Anyone who narrowly escaped death at the hands of a ghost would have a different expression when mentioning "ghost".

He didn't think much, but said:
"Correct."

"Zhao Duan...Zhao Qiming, are there any relationship between these two people?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

"They are father and son." Fan Wujiu was very cooperative at this time. When she asked, he would answer honestly.

"Can ghosts inherit it?" Zhao Fusheng was a little surprised.

Fan Wujiu showed a rare sense of humor and said:
"In this world, anything can be property." After finishing speaking, he added:
"As long as you have the ability, ghosts can be 'properties' that you can control, and naturally they can be inherited."

He said:
"Zhao Duan was very powerful after controlling this fierce ghost. This ghost's ability was unbelievable and could restrain many ghosts. Therefore, during Zhao Duan's reign, Wan'an County's Demon Suppressor became famous, even because of its good public security. , many people heard that Wan'an County was protected by Zhao Duan, and they moved their families here."

At that time, Zhao Duan had rare integrity among those who controlled ghosts. He was awarded by the imperial court and was soon promoted from the rank of commander to general.

In addition to being in charge of Wan'an County, he is also in charge of the Demon Suppression Departments in the two nearby counties.

"But good times don't last long. When dealing with ghosts, there will be times when the ghosts bite you back. In just one year, Zhao Duan has a tendency to lose control."

Although Zhao Fusheng had already guessed from Fan Bisheng's words that those who control ghosts would not have good results, she was still surprised to hear that they lost control in just one year.

"Before he lost control, the people sent by the imperial court restrained the ghosts he controlled and handed them over to others to control. This was also the next commander in Wan'an County who later took over his post."

Fan Bishi said:

"By the time Zhao Qiming arrived, this ghost had already changed hands with many people."

Judging from the timeline of Zhao Duan's control of ghosts and then losing control, in the past 18 years, Wan'an County's Demon Suppression Division has had frequent replacements.

After Zhao Qiming died, it was the turn of the original Zhao Fusheng. Not long after that, the original Zhao Fusheng also died.

Zhao Fusheng was frightened when he heard this. It seemed that the head of the Demon Suppressing Commander's Department was really a high-risk profession.

"I have said that dealing with ghosts is very dangerous. In the process of being controlled, ghosts may also advance in levels and become more dangerous and difficult to control." Having said this, Fan Bisheng let out a long sigh:

"As expected, not long after Zhao Qiming took control of the ghost, he was quickly attacked by the ghost. Eventually, the ghost lost control and began to massacre the Demon Suppression Division."

"The killing rule of ghosts is to create a ghost domain first. Once everyone enters its domain, they are its prey." When Zhao Qiming's accident happened, the Demon Suppression Division was within the scope of its ghost domain. In the end, everyone except the Fan brothers Everyone died tragically.

At that time, when people in the nearby streets learned that something happened to the Demon Suppression Division, they all moved away in panic overnight, fearing that they would be implicated.

The once-famous Wan'an County Magisterium fell into decline overnight, and many wealthy households fled Wan'an County.

"And our brothers found a descendant of this generation of Zhang family, and after his guidance, we came up with a way to divert the disaster away."

At this point, the situation has become clear.

Fan Wujiu said:

"Don't blame us. In this world, people's lives are like straw. No one wants to die, and there is no other way."

According to the ghost's principle of killing, Zhao Fusheng triggered its killing rules at that time, which affected Zhao Fusheng's blood relatives. Once all her blood relatives died, as long as other people avoided its gaze, the ghost would naturally leave.

When it wanders to other places, it will be up to the local Demon Suppressor to find a way to drive it away.

The Fan brothers made a careful plan and everything was going smoothly. Unfortunately, something went wrong last night. Zhao Fu came back from the dead, breaking their plans and causing Fan Bi to die.

After figuring out the cause and effect, Zhao Fucheng sighed.The original Zhao Fusheng was really unlucky. She was obviously regarded as a scapegoat by the Fan brothers, and she died unjustly. Her parents also died tragically in confusion.

However, it was precisely because of the death of the original owner that she had the opportunity to be resurrected. If there was a chance in the future, she would not mind avenging the original Zhao Fusheng.

But at this time, she was obviously no match for the Fan brothers. Revenge and venting her anger were out of reach. She had to find a way to leave here and escape from the control of the Fan brothers.

"I know your parents died tragically, and you have resentment in your heart——" After Fan Bisheng finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Fusheng had not spoken for a long time, so he couldn't help but say:

"But please forgive me, this is the way the world is. Even if your parents don't die from this ghost disaster, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape death in the future——"

People with financial resources and power have long since moved away from Wan'an County and sought refuge in places with powerful ghost controllers. Sooner or later, Wan'an County will be a dead land, and almost all those left behind will be poor people with nowhere to go.

"After Zhao Qiming lost control, why didn't the court send someone to take over?"

Zhao Fusheng suddenly thought of a question and asked.

Fan Bisheng didn't know why at this time, she was still curious about the Demon Suppression Division, but he had something to ask for, so he suppressed his uneasiness and sighed again:

"This is the place that was abandoned by the imperial court——"

He saw that Zhao Fusheng was a little surprised, and then he remembered that his two brothers had only regarded her as a scapegoat since they brought her here from Jiumen Village, and had not bothered to talk to her about the past of the Suppressing Demon Division. It’s normal not to know these things.

"I just said that once a place gets out of control and the court is unable to handle the crisis, it will seal the place and let it fend for itself."

Zhao Fusheng had a bad premonition in his heart and nodded:

"Yes, could it be that Wan'an County..."

"Ghost fog has appeared in our Wan'an County!" After saying that, he quickly added: "Ghost fog has appeared not only in Wan'an County, but also in other nearby counties, but Wan'an County is the worst."

"What is ghost fog?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

He said seriously:

"According to rumors, the appearance of the ghost mist may give birth to a blood moon. Once the blood moon appears, hundreds of ghosts may travel..." When he mentioned the keywords 'blood moon' and 'hundred ghosts travel', fear showed in his eyes. Color:

"It's just a journey of hundreds of ghosts. What's worse, it may raise a big ghost - a calamity..." After he finished speaking, he quickly shook his head:

"No, even disaster-level ghosts are possible."

"..."

Zhao Fusheng knew nothing about the information in his words. She only felt Fan Bisei's panic.

This kind of panic is very contagious, especially since she has just come back from the dead and is completely unfamiliar with the Han Dynasty. She was even more confused when she first heard about ghost disasters, ghost mist, blood moon, etc.

The thing about ghosts killing people shocked her past cognition, but she still forced herself to calm down, not to be affected by Fan Bishi's emotions, but asked:
"Has there been a blood moon in the Han Dynasty before?"

Fan Bisheng looked at her with disbelief:

"How is it possible? The ghost fog alone is enough to cause a headache. More than 30 years ago, a ghost fog caused hundreds of ghosts to travel and massacred several counties and towns. The court spent a lot of money to quell this disaster."

"More than 100 years ago, Xu Yu, the yellow-level general of the Suppressing Demon Division, controlled a ghost with special powers. Her ghosts had the power of prediction, so she also had a nickname called 'Qiankun Bi'."

"This pen can predict the future and peek into many unknown things. Among them, it is mentioned that the Han Dynasty will be shrouded in the blood moon in the future and mankind will be destroyed."

"..." When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he was speechless and choked for a moment.

She finally understood the seriousness of 'Ghost Mist' and 'Blood Moon', but she didn't expect that she would have to face such a crisis just after she came back from the dead.

"The imperial court has been preparing for this over the years, so after the ghost fog appeared in Wan'an County, it aroused the court's vigilance. After discovering the strange things, they sent people there, but there was no way to solve the ghost fog crisis. The imperial court sent People came and died one by one, and in less than a year, six or seven people were replaced! To tell you the truth, Zhao Qiming is the last person sent by the imperial court to take over the mess here. "

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and died here quickly.

After discovering that there was no way to save this place and that it was very likely that more people would be brought in, the imperial court had obviously decided to abandon this place.

After all, compared to poor ordinary people, the rare and controlled ghost masters are obviously more precious to the court.

"..." Zhao Fusheng was silent.

After Fan Bisheng decided to communicate frankly with her, this person acted very cooperatively and told her everything, but Zhao Fusheng did not dare to believe everything he said.

At this time, his tone and demeanor when he mentioned 'Ghost Mist' and 'Blood Moon' always made Zhao Fusheng feel that human life was not worth mentioning. Not only one person, but also the county might be abandoned by the court.

She had a dark suspicion: Fan Bisheng said this, which naturally did not rule out the authenticity of the two, but he might also be hinting to her that the original death of Zhao Fusheng could not be blamed on these two brothers...

But it's also possible that she's just paranoid.

As soon as Zhao Fusheng thought this, he heard Fan Bishi say:

"So don't blame my two brothers..."

"..." Zhao Fusheng was speechless.

"What I said is true!" Seeing her expression, Fan Bisheng knew that she didn't believe it, and emphasized:

"Everything is true, we just can't help ourselves and want to survive."

While the two were talking, Fan Wujiu carried out a heavy rosewood box and placed it beside Zhao Fusheng with a bang.

The box shook a lot of dust the moment it landed. Zhao Fusheng pondered for a long time:
"What do you want to get from me by telling me this?"

The Fan brothers are not good people, and Fan Bisheng is even more thoughtful. It is impossible for him to be so kind and tell him these things for no reason.

"Our brothers are the envoys of the Demon Suppression Division, but as you can see, this is not a place to stay for a long time. The two of us want to leave here and make a living elsewhere."

"If you want to leave, just leave -" Zhao Fusheng responded.

Fan Bisheng shook his head:
"We can't leave." He looked at Zhao Fusheng's puzzled expression and said calmly:

"We are restricted by the Book of Souls and cannot leave. I would like to ask you to take out my brother's soul from the Book of Souls."

After hearing this, Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but laugh and cry.

The two brothers killed the original owner, and now Fan Bisheng dared to make such a request to her.

She grinned, but did not express her thoughts.

Fan Bisheng is not a fool. Since he said this, he must be sure that she can agree. She is waiting for his next step.

"In return, we will inform you of some information about the ghosts that we have collected over the years - and at the same time, we will leave you some things and be willing to make an introduction to guide you to get to know Paper Man Zhang."
