CHAPTER XLV

The outrageous speculation became a reality, and this incident shocked Zhao Fusheng speechless for a long time.

The three powerful ghosts are all hidden in the Confucius Temple at the same time, how dare Liu Yi? He actually lives with three ghosts!

She remembered the shrine she saw faintly in front of the Confucius Temple when she came here to look for Liu Yizhen yesterday, and although she didn't see the 'god statue' enshrined in the shrine clearly, it gave her a feeling of being evil at that time.

It's just that the ghost lamp shattered at that time, and then Liu Yizhen appeared and interrupted her snooping.

Zhao Fusheng was in a complicated mood and followed the ghost around the corner.

The lights of the Confucius Temple became brighter and brighter, and the miserable white light penetrated the blockade of the ghost fog, allowing her to see the scene in front of the temple at a glance.

At the gate, I saw a tall figure standing with a wooden bucket in each hand.

Perhaps the hour had come, and he was a little anxious, and turned his head to look around uneasily, as if waiting for something.

When he heard the sound of heavy 'click, click' footsteps, the figure turned its head sharply.

The stiff and white ghost carried the bloody human head and walked unhurriedly into the range covered by the ghost lamp.

Seeing this scene, the young man carrying the bucket subconsciously looked at the human head in the hand of the ghost-

"Huh?" Then he seemed to notice the strangeness and let out a surprised sound.

The head looked like an elderly man, with uneven teeth, and it seemed that the person who was preyed upon by the ghosts tonight was not Zhao Fusheng.

The young man was in shock, and a familiar voice sounded:

"Why, I didn't expect it to be me, right?"

This slightly smiling ridicule sounded abruptly at this time, and the horror it brought to the young man was undoubtedly huge.

He was shocked.

The bucket in both hands fell to the ground, and the water in the bucket overflowed, splashing all around.

I saw that behind the ghost, a figure slowly walked out of the shadows-

"It's you!" Liu Yizhen was shocked and stammered:

"You, how, how dare you—"

Since Zhao Fusheng saw Liu Yizhen, this young man has given her the feeling of being extremely calm and old.

He was not frightened when he saw the ghost, but at this time he seemed to be frightened by her rash appearance.

Perhaps surprised that Zhao Fusheng not only did not die from the ghost disaster tonight, but also walked behind the ghost for most of the street, and he gasped when he spoke.

His hands were splashed wet with the spilled water, and his hands were clenched into fists and subconsciously released and clenched, repeating this process several times, and the whole person's pupils contracted because of excessive shock.

Zhao Fusheng also shook his head, watching the powerful ghost slowly move in the direction of the temple gate step by step.

The light shone on the ghost's body, illuminating the blood dripping from the ground very clearly.

The ghost passed by the messy-faced Liu Yizhen, I don't know if it was because of the influence of the ghost lamp, or because it had completed the law of killing tonight, it didn't seem to have 'seen' this big living person standing in front of him.

It stiffened its stairs up the stairs and crossed the threshold, followed by the sound of footsteps of 'click, click' from the quiet hall, and in the echo bursts, the aura of the ghost was gradually swallowed up by the shadows in the hall.

After a while, the crash of 'ping-pong' sounded, and after that everything was calm.

At this time, two big living people were standing in front of the temple gate, relatively speechless for a long time.

"I didn't expect it to be like this."

When Zhao Fusheng said this, he shook his head again:

"No, I should have thought of it a long time ago."

No wonder her heart moved yesterday, and when she asked Liu Yizhen how many ghosts there were in the temple, he smiled and said nothing.

According to her original speculation, the ghost disaster that has occurred in the restaurant alley was originally to fight against the headless ghost, and the headless ghost was sealed in the Confucius Temple, and it is not impossible for the evil ghost to hide in the Confucius Temple.

It's just that Liu Yizhen's residence in the Confucius Temple misled her, she didn't expect that a big living person would dare to be in the same room with the revival ghost.

In addition, the old temple wished the revival of the ghost after his death - Zhao Fusheng sighed and said:

"I didn't expect that in a Confucius temple in Wan'an County, we were 'full of ghosts'."

While Zhao Fusheng spoke, he looked up to see the ghost lamp hanging above, and then his eyes fell on the two buckets of water beside Liu Yizhen.

She then remembered that when she came yesterday morning, the ground was wet, as if it had just been rinsed, and she was suspicious at the time.

“……”

Liu Yizhen was speechless by her words for a while, and didn't know how to respond, but finally calmed down his heartbeat and said:

"I'll tell you when I've cleaned up here."

After speaking, he motioned for Zhao Fusheng to get out of the way, and then bent down and poured out the two buckets that had been spilled most of the buckets.

The water rushed out to scrub the ground, Liu Yizhen took a long broom from the corner of the wall, and began to wash the traces left by the ghosts when they passed.

It can be seen that he usually does these things, so his actions are very quick, and he cleaned the front of the temple in three or two clicks, and when he finished collecting the broom and bucket, when he came out again, he glanced at Zhao Fusheng-

Her expression was calm, but her eyes were deep, and she was very wary of him.

The girl wore a pair of worn cloth shoes, and the big toes of both feet were cracked, and the socks inside were faintly visible.

The soles and uppers of his shoes were almost soaked in blood, and after he poured water and washed them down, they were almost completely wet.

"Would you like to clean up your shoes?"

Zhao Fusheng glanced down at his feet, and also saw the toes that were about to leak out of the holes in his shoes.

Liu Yizhen's eyes fell on her feet, her eyes rolled, and then she laughed:

"Okay."

She bent over and took off her shoes:

"Then you just brought it up and cleaned it for me—"

“……”

Liu Yizhen was caught off guard by her reaction.

Generally speaking, people will have a sense of shame, and when they are spied on the unseemly side, most people will subconsciously want to escape and justify.

Although Zhao Fusheng was lucky to become the commander of the Demon Suppression Division, she was from a poor background and dressed in shabby clothes, which was a dress that did not match her identity.

Liu Yizhen deliberately mentioned her shoes in order to embarrass her, and then avoided the conversation with her afterwards.

I didn't know that she was wearing shabby shoes, but her expression was calm, and she didn't twist it at all, but her action of wanting to take off her shoes startled Liu Yizhen.

"Don't-"

He lost his temper again and shouted.

Zhao Fusheng's hand was still on the heel of the shoe, she didn't have the next move, and after hearing that the young man in front of her couldn't hold her breath, she couldn't help but laugh:

"It's just to tease you, look at how scared you are."

She stood upright.

Liu Yizhen's expression was originally quite annoyed, but when he heard her smile, he also felt that his behavior was too funny, and he wanted to defeat people, but he was counted by others.

He couldn't help but laugh.

The two laughed, and the tense atmosphere between each other suddenly leaked.

Liu Yizhen's expression seemed to have eased a lot, but in fact, he was more vigilant against Zhao Fusheng in his heart.

She is clever and cunning, unpredictable, and especially good at grasping people's hearts and moods.

Since the return of the ghost, her emotions seem to have been controlled by her, and even his self-righteous desire to force her back seems to be within her expectations.

Zhao Fusheng didn't care what he thought in his heart, he only said calmly:

"I'm going to have to deal with ghosts in the future, and I'm going to have to get used to these things."

Liu Yizhen nodded thoughtfully.

Zhao Fusheng said:

"It's just that I didn't expect that the ghost in the rice alley turned out to be raised by you."

"No—"

Liu Yizhen wanted to refute at first, but under Zhao Fusheng's gaze, he finally sighed:

"It's a long story."

"Then you just take your time." Zhao Fusheng stared at him and said:

"I know you're hiding something, but now that so many lives are involved, you can't afford to push back any more."

When the judgment continues, it will be disturbed.

She made up her mind, the ghost in the alley was raised by the Confucius Temple, if Liu Yizhen was insidious and cunning, he still dared to make up some lies to fool her, she would have to find a way to kill this person in the future, and she would definitely not leave the root cause.

This guy is a bit of a quirky.

He is a living person, and he does not have the sinister aura of the ghost control on his body, but at the same time, Zhao Fusheng can sense the trace of ghost breath that he is often contaminated with after dealing with ghosts.

It's a strange feeling.

Zhao Fusheng has not been controlling ghosts for a long time, and she has not spent much time dealing with ghosts, but she vaguely feels that Liu Yizhen is quite special, as if the ghosts she controls are not 'malicious' to him, and there is a faint indescribable connection between ghosts and him.

He and Lao Miaozhu ancestors and grandchildren have taken over the matter of almsgiving, dealing with ghosts, presumably have their own set of experience in dealing with ghosts, and refuse to tell others.

Zhao Fusheng suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, Liu Yizhen's situation will wait for her to deal with the matter of asking for rice in the future, and then slowly inquire in the future, the most important thing at the moment is still the dilemma of asking for rice in the alley.

"What is the origin of the ghost in the Confucius Temple, you should know very well, right?"

"Yes." Liu Yizhen nodded.

Tonight's whereabouts of the ghost are revealed, which also means that the secret he wants to hide has been exposed again.

Since the Confucius Temple was built, this matter has been well hidden for 40 years.

Even if it is after the accident in the alley, the ghosts kill people one after another, even if others find out the rules of killing ghosts from the deaths of their predecessors, but most ordinary people are greedy for life and afraid of death, and no one is like Zhao Fusheng, who dares to follow the ghosts at close range, and she touched the hiding place of the ghosts.

Liu Yizhen frowned, thought about it, and suddenly laughed again:

"Forget it, this matter is also related to the Demon Suppression Division, and it's not a shame to tell you."

After he made up his mind, he no longer struggled and said bluntly:

"I think you know a lot of things, and you have a general understanding of the situation in this place."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Liu Yizhen asked again:

"Forty years ago, you also knew about the ghost disaster of our Liu family, right?"

"Of course."

Zhao Fusheng raised his eyebrows and answered again.

"The ghost disaster of the year, Su Long and Zhang Xiongwu couldn't solve it." He said bluntly.

Zhao Fusheng remembered what the paper man had mentioned and asked:

"Is it because of the special power of the headless ghost?"

"Yes." Liu Yizhen nodded and said:

"This headless ghost corpse has special power, it can suppress the powerful ghosts, my grandfather said that the powerful ghosts that Su Long commanded at that time also reached the evil level, but they were still suppressed in front of it, and they couldn't control its power at all."

Zhao Fusheng only heard the paper man Zhang mention the horror of the headless ghost corpse at that time, but he didn't expect the ability of the headless ghost corpse to be so rebellious.

She thought of the powerful ghost on her body, and her heart suddenly moved:

"I think it's amazing—"

If she can get the body of the headless ghost, can she use the power of the ghost she controls in the future, and then immediately pick up the body of the headless ghost.

In this way, the power of the headless ghost restrains the powerful ghost she controls, and seals her powerful ghost in disguise, can't she take advantage of the ghost's loophole and borrow the power of the powerful ghost without limit, so that the powerful ghost wrapped around her body has nothing to do?

"Don't be cranky!"

Liu Yizhen heard her say this, and then looked at her expression, and suddenly seemed to guess her intentions, and shouted loudly:

"It's not like no one has tried this naïve idea."

It is true that the headless ghost can restrain other ghosts and make them fall into a sealed state, but once it recovers, who will restrain it?

"I advise you to die of this heart, once you borrow the power of the headless ghost, it will take your head first, and let you die immediately."

“…… All right. ”

Zhao Fusheng sighed with a little regret.

But she didn't give up completely.

The power of the headless ghost is very useful to her, but there is no way to restrain it for the time being, and if she finds a way, this ghost may come in handy in the future.

As soon as Liu Yizhen saw her expression, he knew that she didn't listen to her words in her heart, and suddenly felt a big headache:

"Don't mess around, when the body of this powerful ghost was intact, he caused a catastrophe in the imperial capital and killed a gold-level general——"

Zhao Fusheng had heard these words from the paper man Zhang a long time ago, and nodded with a smile when he heard the words:

"I know."

"But you know what? In addition to the merits, qualifications, and ability of the ghosts, the division of the general level of the Demon Suppression Division is also related to the level of the ghosts. ”

Liu Yizhen said with a serious face.

When he said this, Zhao Fusheng really took it to heart.

The paper figure mentioned the classification of ghosts, which are divided into five levels: evil, evil, evil, disaster, and disaster.

In other words, among the ranks divided by humans as powerful ghosts, disaster-level ghosts are already the most terrifying existence.

A general who can control such a powerful ghost would die in the ghost disaster in the imperial capital, which is the reason why Zhao Fusheng cares about this matter.

"A terrible ghost above the disaster level?" She frowned.

These details, the paper man Zhang naturally will not tell her in detail, this person has a vicious mind, and intends to give her incomplete information, just to lead her to death.

"Yes." Liu Yizhen nodded with a serious face, and after seeing that she was finally serious, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"The grade of this headless ghost corpse is so powerful, it can kill the general who controls the catastrophic ghost, then it was back then-"

"Not entirely." Liu Yizhen said:

"The headless ghost corpse rule is against the sky, but there is a reason why it can kill gold-level generals."
