I become a god in another world

Chapter 81

The ghost case in Kotou Village this time is extremely dangerous and can be said to be a narrow escape from death.

But Zhao Fusheng came at just the right time.

Magistrate Pang and others were eager to test her attitude, so she came here before the substitute ghost completely killed all the former insiders.

From the tiny clues, we finally found the ghost's past, figured out its characteristics and laws, and finally successfully solved the ghost case.

Although the case was dangerous, Zhao Fusheng was lucky enough to save his life, and he also gained huge gains.

The stand-in is absolutely extraordinary.

Zhao Fusheng remembered that when the Conferred God List was calculating the rewards, he specifically mentioned one sentence: preventing the big ghost from advancing to the next level and nipping the bud of future disaster-level ghost disasters.

Precisely because the stand-in ghost's laws are invincible, Zhao Fusheng directly received 1000 merit points after completing this ghost case - five or six times more than the original reward for solving the ghost disaster in Beggar Alley.

It seems that Zhao Fusheng's guess that day was indeed correct.

After solving a ghost case, the merit points obtained are not only related to the level of the ghost and the number of people rescued, but also the harm caused by the ghost is also included in the list of gods.

Zhao Fusheng felt that there were 986 merit points remaining in the consciousness, and he was a little happy and a little regretful at the same time.

It's a pity that Guishou and the ghosts she commanded almost revived when she was about to die, so the Fengshen Bang spent 20 points of merit to suppress them. Otherwise, she could have unlocked the second level of hell after this trip to Kotou Village.

Zhao Fusheng has already realized the usefulness of hell.

As long as she upgrades the hell a few more times and has enough merit, she won't even have to work so hard when encountering evil-level ghosts in the future, and she can directly put the ghosts into hell.

But even if hell cannot be upgraded this time, once the next ghost case is solved, the merit points will definitely be enough to open the second level of hell.

Zhao Fusheng's attention turned to the gods on the list of gods.

At present, the merit points required to open the divine position are not much, only 100 points are needed. Unfortunately, the divine position is currently considered useless to her.

The fierce ghost she commanded was not of a high enough rank to qualify as a god.

Nowadays, the merit points are more important to her. As long as she no longer uses the power to control the evil spirits, she can use the merit points to suppress it, and the divine throne will naturally not be activated for the time being.

Then Zhao Fusheng began to sink his consciousness into hell.

She easily found the paper substitute that she had taken into hell.

At this time, the evil ghost was sealed by the paper man and stayed quietly in hell, completely unable to see the ferocity and terror when it committed crimes in Goutou Village.

Zhao Fusheng's thoughts moved, and the shadows spread out. Her palms were quickly shrouded in invisible shadows, and a blood-red paper figure about the size of a palm was pinched into her palms.

I saw that the paper man was made up of fine pieces of skin tissue, with dark red blood flowing out from the joints of the pieces.

Even though there is the shroud of hell, there is an evil aura in the blood.

Behind the paper man, there seemed to be a line of sight spying on her secretly.

She pinched the paper manikin twice, and a chill penetrated into her body through her fingertips.

The list of gods had reminded her: the paper man had the same name, surname, blood and flesh as hers.

"Stand-in paper man - double -"

Zhao Fusheng remembered the name of the paper man in the Fengshen List, and couldn't help but stroke the paper man twice, and a crazy and whimsical idea came to his mind:
"I got 1000 merit points after solving the case in Kotou Village. If I release the evil ghost and seal it, wouldn't I be able to gain more merit points?"

If she goes well, maybe she can successfully open several levels of hell just by letting go and catching.

But Zhao Fusheng also knew that this was wishful thinking.

Not to mention that the evil ghost sealed inside the substitute paper man was too fierce. Once he let go, she might not be able to catch it.

Furthermore, the destructive power of the stand-in ghost is too strong. After escaping, it will cause disaster and cause a large number of casualties to ordinary people.

"Inappropriate, inappropriate."

She pondered for a moment and reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​increasing her merit points.

The shadow of hell faded, and the paper substitutes were also taken away.

The Consciousness Sea indicated that 1 point of merit had been deducted. Now, Zhao Fusheng did not take this consumption seriously.

After taking stock of what she had gained from her trip, her eyes turned to Zhang Chuanshi in the carriage.

His whole body was covered in blood and flesh, and he huddled in the corner with his soul book in his arms. He seemed to be deep in thought before, but the old man was so sensible that he didn't say anything, for fear of disturbing her.

Seeing that she finally turned to look at him, Zhang Chuanshi cheered up and hurriedly moved forward while crouching, his face squeezed and he showed a flattering smile:
"grown ups."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and asked him:

"Does the wound on your body hurt?"

The muscles on his face twitched, and he took a deep breath. He subconsciously reached out to touch his cheek, but he touched a wound and touched his hand full of blood. He was so scared that he retracted his hand.

"My lord is wise and mighty, this time——" He was about to flatter him, but Zhao Fusheng interrupted him:

"Ask you if the wound hurts."

"A little."

Zhang Chuanshi nodded honestly and said:

"But with the Book of Souls and Fates, it's still bearable."

Zhao Fusheng smiled and said:
"We are all lucky this time. It will be good if we can save our lives in the hands of this evil ghost."

She reminded:

"With the Book of Souls and Fates, you won't be able to survive your death, but your injuries will probably last a month."

"It's all under the protection of adults. I used to have blind eyes and couldn't recognize Taishan. I'm so damned good!" Zhang Chuanshi squeezed out a smile on the only half of his face that was barely intact:
"In the future, after I recover from my injuries, I will definitely listen to your words and become an old dog raised by you!"

He swore:
"I will take care of the accounts of the Demon Suppression Department for you from now on. If someone in the department dies, I will choose the best coffin!"

Zhao Fusheng was amused by his words.

The old man was thinking: There are several people in the Demon Suppressing Division now. Except for Zhao Fusheng, the one named Liu Yi is really not in the Demon Suppressing Division for the time being - he is really lucky.

Currently, there are only the Fan brothers and him in the government office, and there is a newly recruited Wu Shaochun.

Wu Shaochun was just an ignorant country villager. He was lucky enough to be saved by Zhao Fusheng, but he saw that the boy was dumbfounded and not very smart.

This time he traveled with Zhao Fusheng to solve a ghost case. He couldn't let such bad luck happen to him again next time, right?

If Wu Shaochun is involved in a ghost case next time, this kid will definitely die.

Then it's time for him to show his loyalty...

He relied on Zhenmo Division to run a coffin shop for many years, and he also accumulated a lot of wealth. If Wu Shaochun died unfortunately, he would have to carry out the best coffin in his shop, and he had to show it to Zhao Fusheng. There is something available...

Zhang Chuanshi was thinking wildly when Zhao Fusheng suddenly asked him:

"Where is the paper man Zhang hiding now?"

"He is -" Zhang Chuanshi said subconsciously.When he realized that he had exposed his secret due to carelessness, he saw Zhao Fusheng looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Chuanshi was like a deflated rubber ball, and there was a sad look in his only intact one eye:
"My lord has already guessed it, so why bother playing tricks on me again?"

He sighed:

"I am just an ordinary person, and I am indeed related to the Zhang family, but in this world, just based on this relationship, I cannot be treated differently."

The paper man Zhang was most likely a ghost controller, after all, his condition at that time was clearly not that of an ordinary living person.

Zhang Chuanshi is just an ordinary old man. Even if he is related to Paper Man Zhang, it is unlikely that Paper Man Zhang will take him too seriously.

But Zhao Fusheng was not moved by his words. Zhang Chuanshi lowered his head and glanced at the book of souls and fate in his hand, gritted his teeth, and blood poured out from his wound. He quickly reached out to pick it up and said:
"But I have done a lot of things for him over the years, so I also know some of the secrets. If you want to ask, just ask."

"What did you do for him?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

Zhang Chuanshi rolled his eyes.

The eyeballs that had lost their eyelids moved a little, and they could see very clearly.

He seemed to know that he could no longer fool people with lies at this time. He was lucky to have saved his life during this ghost case. There was no choice for him at the moment. Zhang Chuanshi hesitated for a moment, and then said without hesitation:

"I've handled several businesses for him."

"Several commanders in the Demon Suppression Division all got in touch with him through me." At the beginning of Zhang Chuanshi's words, he fired his bow without looking back. He simply said:

"Over the years, there have been many lucky people among the commanders of Wan'an County. After completing the ghost case, a very small number of people will obtain something very sinister."

After he finished speaking, he added:
"The ghost coffin you mentioned before is also one of the evil things. Things related to ghosts, after they have evil nature, are very evil things."

"Zhiman Zhang needs this kind of thing and has been trying his best to collect it. I live next door to the Demon Suppressing Division. If I get any information, I will tell him."

When Zhang Chuanshi said this, Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but sneered twice.

He shrank his head, a guilty look in his eyes:
"That day, that day you——"

"When my parents' evil spirits came to life that day, they left behind a pair of door panels with ghost seals stamped on them. This can be considered a very sinister thing."

After Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, Zhang Chuanshi's eyes moved from side to side, but he did not dare to look at her.

She had already guessed that this old man was not a good person. She must have gotten wind of the closing that day and wanted to report it. Now that she heard Zhang Chuanshi admit it, she was not too angry.

"I, I originally wanted to tell Paper Man Zhang about this, but didn't I just happen to meet you on the road? We were walking together afterwards, and we didn't have a chance to talk to him yet. Don't be upset, sir, the news hasn't been released yet. exposure."

Seeing that she didn't scold her, Zhang Chuanshi immediately guessed that she was not angry, and couldn't help but show a playful smile:
"Now I am loyal to you. If you ask me to go east, I will never dare to go west. Naturally, I will not tell him the secret of the Demon Suppressor."

"Really?" Zhao Fusheng asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Zhang Chuanshi nodded desperately.

"Then next time there is a ghost case, you will still travel with me." As soon as Zhao Fusheng said these words, Zhang Chuanshi's expression suddenly changed.

"Sir, spare my life——"

The ins and outs of this ghost case have not yet been clarified. He was marked by a ghost inexplicably, and he has no idea how to escape and save his life.

If Zhao Fusheng hadn't been so capable and sealed the evil ghost, he might have never come to his senses until his death.

Dealing with ghosts was not something that an old man of his age should do. He was about to beg for mercy, but suddenly he remembered Zhao Fusheng's decision to let him tell the truth after he left.

Zhang Chuanshi had not known her for a long time, but he had some understanding of her character, and he immediately realized that it was useless to just beg for mercy.

His thoughts changed and he hurriedly said:
"My lord, it is useful to keep my life alive."

"What's the use?" Zhao Fusheng knew that his deterrence had worked.

"The paper man Zhang's ghost lantern can make people avoid the perception of evil spirits. You know that, right?" Zhang Chuanshi's expression changed, and he finally made up his mind.

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Zhang Chuanshi took a deep breath and said, "Do you know how his ghost lantern is made?"

Although Zhao Fusheng guessed that he might tell an important secret to save his life, he did not expect that he would bring up such a topic.

The importance of the ghost lantern was indeed extraordinary, and she was indeed interested.

But Zhao Fusheng did not ask a question as Zhang Chuanshi expected. She thought for a while: "First you mentioned the most dangerous thing, and then you mentioned the ghost lantern -"

"The most dangerous things are related to ghosts. The function of ghost lights is to avoid the 'sight' of evil ghosts and keep people in a safe state."

She guessed that after the ghost lamp burned, it released a "field" similar to the ghost realm. The range of the light shrouded people, making the ghosts unable to sense the existence of living people, so people standing in the light could avoid it. Let the ghosts kill.

"To achieve this kind of effect, could it be that the ghost lantern is made of something dangerous?" Zhao Fusheng asked.

"..."

Zhang Chuanshi's face suddenly showed a bitter look.

He originally wanted to figure out his posture, but Zhao Fusheng guessed it right away.

However, this matter is not a secret in the eyes of the ghost controllers of the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Division - Paper Man Zhang had made deals with people in the Demon Suppression Division, and there had long been speculation that the raw material for his ghost lanterns was something very sinister. , but the key lies in how to transform the most dangerous thing into a ghost lantern that can be used to save lives.

"Yes."

After thinking about this, Zhang Chuanshi was no longer entangled. He wiped his face and said:

"Paper figurines are not only used to make lamp oil from evil things. In fact, oil made from the resurrected corpses of evil ghosts is the best. It's just that ghosts are difficult to catch, so we settle for the next best thing."

After he finished speaking, he added:

"My uncle-nephew uses human skin as a lantern and boils lamp oil out of dangerous things. Although he acts secretly, he can't completely avoid me. Over the years, I have accidentally spied on him a few times after boiling the oil and cleaning it up. The aftermath.”

"They all have the surname Zhang. There is no reason why he can boil oil, so I can't make ghost lanterns. At worst, the coffin shop will not open in the future -" He was about to make a bold statement, but then he thought that the coffin shop was his foundation, and he hurriedly Also added:
"The shop still needs to be opened. I will hire someone to take care of it in the future. I will concentrate on developing ghost lanterns for you, sir. What do you think?"

"Let's talk about it later."

Zhao Fusheng got the "secret" of the ghost lantern from Zhang Chuanshi, which was like getting a piece of cake.

Yesterday in Goutou Village, Father Wu Jiu mentioned that he had met Zhang Xiongwu once. When he talked about Zhang Xiongwu, he described him like this: an old man with gray hair, wearing a black robe with big cuffs. He put his hands together on his chest, and the sleeves of his black robe were stretched across his chest like a coffin lid.

At that time, these words inspired Zhao Fusheng to suspect that the black robe worn by the paper man Zhang might have been refined from the coffin lid.

She didn't know how he changed the shape of the coffin lid, but if Zhang's people could refine evil objects, they could also refine evil objects and ghosts into lamp oil for the 'ghost lamp'.

It's not enough for Zhang Chuanshi to just say this.

She thought for a while and asked again:
"Zhiman Zhang asked you to stare at the Demon Suppression Division. What do you want to get from this?"

After all the secrets of the ghost lamp were revealed, Zhang Chuanshi smashed the jar and replied:
"He wants the book of souls and destiny."

"I don't know what he wants this thing for, but he once told me to get it -" After that, he added:
"Fan Bisheng and the others should have had such a deal with him, but it's a pity..."

He didn't say the next words, but Zhao Fusheng also understood the meaning of his words.

Paperman Zhang should have had a similar deal with the two brothers Fan Bishui. The two brothers used the book of souls as a bargaining chip to ask Paperman Zhang for help. If the transaction goes well, the original owner's family will lure away the evil ghosts, and Fan Bisheng will find someone to take over the Demon Suppression Company. , remove the two names from the soul and destiny book, and then Zhirenzhang will find a way to get the soul and destiny book of Wan'an County on his own.
