Chapter Forty-Nine: Into the Book of Souls
Chapter 49
Fengshen Bang has reminded that the ghost hand intercepted from the ghost has special abilities, and it asks for something, whether it is a person or a ghost, it can't refuse.
Now after giving it human skin paper, it is equivalent to satisfying its laws, so it temporarily falls into a state of sleep; Once the skin paper is removed, it is time for it to revive - once the ghost hand is revived, it should repeat the law that every resurrection must ask for something, and if it does not satisfy its wishes, it may eat itself.
Zhao Fusheng is not a ghost body after all, once he is attacked by a powerful ghost, the consequences are not clear.
However, her situation itself is not optimistic, and the special laws of the ghost hand should be of great use to her in the future.
The powerful ghosts she commanded were getting closer and closer to her, and until there was a solution to this scourge, the power of the powerful ghosts she commanded could no longer be used for the time being.
In this way, the timing of this ghost hand is wonderful.
Thinking like this, Zhao Fusheng was happy again.
She gestured at the size of the shrunken ghost hand, carefully retracting it into her cuffs and hiding it, before she breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around her.
Previously, she controlled the ghosts, and she didn't feel much danger when she fought with the ghosts, but when she looked at it, she saw that the house where she was hiding had almost collapsed.
The power of the two ghosts fighting is extremely terrifying.
The walls around her had crumbled, the beams of the roof had fallen diagonally, and the ground was splattered with undried blood—evidence that she was on the verge of death.
It was a thrilling night.
Zhao Fusheng thought of the scene when the ghost appeared, and touched his chest with palpitations, because of the possession of the ghost, the fatal wounds on her body had all been eliminated, but the shadow that almost died in the hands of the ghost at that time still remained in her heart, which made her shudder, and she felt the gap between humans and ghosts more and more.
She walked out of the house, and as the body of the ghost was decomposed, the law of the ghost was changed, and the ghost disaster in the alley had disappeared.
The ghost domain that shrouded this place gradually dispersed, and at this time, the sky was slightly bright, and in the thick fog, a ray of morning light shone into the sky, illuminating the entire rice alley.
As the black gas dissipated, she could vaguely see the other end of the alleyway, and the passage that was originally hidden in Wan'an County slowly appeared.
The morning breeze blew into the ghost realm, blowing away the silence and death of the place, bringing a faint trace of vitality.
A faint hint of the aroma of familiar soup came in with the breeze, causing Zhao Fusheng's stomach to 'gurgle, gurgle'.
She stood in the doorway, her nose haunted by the smell of soup and blood.
The shadow brought by the ghost was gradually disappearing, and Zhao Fusheng slowly closed his eyes, feeling the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
After a long time, she took a deep breath, opened her eyes, walked out into the street, and shouted loudly into the street:
"The Demon Suppression Division handles the case, the ghost disaster here has been solved, the ghost has left, the ghost domain has disappeared, everyone can come out and decide for themselves whether to go or stay."
The streets were empty, and her echo echoed throughout the alley.
After a long time, no one opened the door.
Zhao Fusheng laughed.
She knows very well that the ghost disaster in Yaofan Hutong has been formed for a long time, and the people who survived here have survived in the environment of ghosts and ghosts, and have developed an extremely cautious character, and will never believe her words.
Maybe after she shouted like this, others would just treat her as nonsense and deliberately deceive people to come out and send her to death.
She didn't take these people's actions to heart, anyway, after the ghost domain was lifted, after a long time, someone would always find out that the situation was not right, and sooner or later they would leave the room.
As soon as these people came out and saw the scene outside the alley, they naturally knew that the disaster was lifted and fled from this place.
The top priority is to find Liu Yizhen.
This person has a 'book of life' in his hand, and his name is recorded on the 'book of life'.
This roster is a yin thing, extremely evil, although the rice ghost was decomposed by himself, and broke its rules, but such a thing that recorded his name fell into the hands of others, Zhao Fusheng was never down-to-earth.
Liu Yizhen agreed to join the Demon Suppression Division, Zhao Fusheng was originally sure that this place was shrouded by the ghost domain, and he couldn't escape, so he ignored him for the time being, and put all his thoughts on handling the ghost case.
This person claimed to stay in the Confucius Temple to watch over the two ghosts who had fallen into a sealed state, but she did not trust human nature, and was worried that this was just an excuse for Liu Yizhen to win her trust.
Now that the ghost disaster has been solved, we can't let this Liu Yizhen leave here!
Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng immediately rushed to the direction of Confucius Temple.
She ran very fast, and before she reached the Confucius Temple, she heard a noise in front of the temple gate.
Zhao Fusheng slowed down, adjusted his breath, slowly turned out from the side of the street, and looked at the Confucius Temple-
I saw a figure climbing up to the side in front of the door of the Confucius Temple on a ladder, and took down the cloth with the word 'Shi' hanging above.
After the man took off the cloth, he seemed to hear the footsteps she had rushed all the way before, and turned his head unhurriedly, it was Liu Yizhen.
He hugged the signboard, jumped down from the ladder, and when he saw Zhao Fusheng, he showed a smile:
"You really solved the ghost disaster of the rice alley."
"yes." Zhao Fusheng was originally worried that he would run away, but he didn't expect that this person was also very principled, and he didn't take the opportunity to escape after the ghost domain was lifted, but seemed to have made up his mind to stay in the Confucius Temple.
She thought about it for a while, and suddenly guessed:
"Are you going to guard this place for the rest of the year?"
Liu Yizhen nodded:
"I can't leave here."
Today, the ghost of asking for rice has been decomposed, and from the scattered clues, Zhao Fusheng has integrated the complete truth of the haunted incident in the rice alley:
Liu Huacheng took the ghost back to his hometown, and then the ghost recovered.
Then, in order to solve the ghost disaster, Liu Huacheng scattered all his family wealth and asked Su Long to join forces with Zhang Xiongwu to artificially create a ghost disaster and restrain the resurrected headless ghosts.
This ghost who was 'invited' out of the house is going to be a ghost who wants to eat.
asked the ghosts to kill according to the list, and the Liu family used human lives to raise ghosts to maintain balance - Zhao Fusheng's previous thought that the forty years of calm and calm were actually all based on the fact that there were many lives behind him.
This is a rice alley, and most of the people gathered here are poor beggars and the like.
These people are homeless, maybe they are lonely and widowed, and they can survive by relying on the alms of the Confucius Temple, but in Liu Huacheng's eyes, they are the walking offerings that he raised in captivity to feed the ghosts.
According to Su Long's approach, suppressing ghosts with ghosts should have been calm.
But Liu Huacheng didn't know what method to use, and after living for a hundred years, he suddenly died.
After Liu Huacheng's death, the ghosts revived, and the balance of the original ghost control in the rice alley was suddenly broken.
Three ghosts appeared at the same time, and two ghosts of equal strength checked and balanced each other, while the other ghost of the other rank and slightly weaker strength lost its restraint and then recovered.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng naturally had many doubts in her heart, and at the same time she remembered the key person in the case: the paper man Zhang.
He once mentioned that Liu Huacheng was the core person who caused the headless ghost corpse case in Dijing back then, and the awakening of the ghost corpse was a demon level, and then the body of the powerful ghost was decomposed and sealed, giving people a feeling that the strength and realm of the headless ghost corpse were reduced after being decomposed.
What is the purpose of this person's doing this?
Zhao Fusheng initially suspected that the paper man Zhang wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, after all, there was a feud between himself and the paper man Zhang, and the Zhao couple died at the hands of the ghost because of the disaster of the paper man Zhang and the Fan brothers.
Both sides are only maintaining a semblance of peace, and each is looking for an opportunity to make a move.
Therefore, after Zhao Fusheng met with the paper man Zhang, he got the news he wanted to know, so he immediately attacked him first.
Her idea at that time was: if she can kill the paper man, she will never suffer in the future; If you can't kill him, but are controlled by him, you will immediately admit and sue for peace.
In the end, the paper figure Zhang showed a strange appearance, and finally turned into a strange humanoid lantern and flew away......
After the first round of the two sides couldn't fight, Zhao Fusheng recalled at this time, and always felt that the anger when the paper figure was burned out of a strange form by her, there was a sense of disguise, as if he was hiding his true purpose with murderous intentions.
What does this person want to gain from her?
Zhao Fusheng rubbed his eyebrows and put his mind back on the headless ghost.
The ghost disaster in the rice alley seems to have been solved for the time being, but the ghost who asked for rice derived from the generosity is only the lowest-ranking ghost among the three temples of Confucius Temple.
It is like the tip of an iceberg that is exposed, and the greater dangers lurk beneath the iceberg.
And the origin of this ghost case lies in the headless ghost corpse.
“……”
Zhao Fusheng frowned involuntarily.
With keen intuition and meticulous analysis, she believes that the identity of the paper figure plays a subtle role in this matter.
But this person talks too much, the truth and falsehood are mixed, and sometimes too many clues confuse her cognition.
Zhao Fusheng simply put aside all the clues that were currently known and put all his thoughts on the headless ghost corpse.
The ghost case of Confucius Temple seems complicated, but in fact, it is ultimately formed around the headless ghost corpse.
Liu Huacheng handles the case - the ghost is resurrected - the body is decomposed - Liu Huacheng brings the ghost back to Wan'an County - the ghost is sealed - the ghost is revived.
After filtering all the clues in his mind, Zhao Fusheng suddenly realized an important problem.
The ghost was sealed and brought back to the Liu family to suppress it, and what was the item that sealed the headless ghost corpse?
Could it be a peerless murderous thing related to ghosts?
Since the imperial court dared to take out this object to seal the headless ghost at that time, proving that this thing has a special restraint on the ghost, then why did this object suddenly fail and revive the ghost? Did anything go wrong with the seal?
The re-sealing of the headless ghost is related to Zhang Xiongwu, and this time after the revival of the ghost in the rice alley, he entered the rice alley, and there was also the shadow of a paper man in the middle.
What kind of role did these ancestors and grandchildren play in this ghost case of the Liu family's ancestral hall?
She vaguely felt that she had touched a little truth of the matter, but there seemed to be a layer of vague fog between her and the truth.
Zhao Fuchang let out a sigh and thought back to the headless ghost itself again.
The corpse of the headless ghost is incomplete, but the level of this ghost is definitely above the evil level.
This can be verified from the rice ghost.
After all, although the headless ghost has the effect of natural restraint of ghosts, its corpse is incomplete, and the realm level has dropped greatly, and the rice ghost has to be driven by it after it dies and runs for it to work - and the rice ghost has reached the level of evil before it is decomposed by Zhao Fusheng.
And such a murderous thing can be restrained by Liu Huacheng, who has just died and recovered, which shows that Liu Huacheng, who lived for a hundred years and died, is not an ordinary person.
Liu Yizhen stayed here, presumably watching these two powerful ghosts to prevent the revival of the two ghosts.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng's heart suddenly moved, as if he had vaguely guessed a clue.
When she thought of this, her eyes lit up, although she tried her best to hide her expression so as not to show clues, Liu Yizhen's eyes were very sharp, and she saw the subtle changes in her expression, as if she guessed what she was thinking.
Zhao Fusheng was keenly aware of the mutation in Liu Yizhen's gaze at this moment, she raised her head, and the two looked at each other, and they were both silent for a moment.
"Hey, hey."
Zhao Fusheng took the lead in laughing twice, hiding his inner thoughts, and then asked:
"You won't be giving in the future."
This is not a question, but it is a certainty.
"Not anymore." Liu Yizhen shook his head: "The Confucius Temple originally existed for this powerful ghost, but now that the ghost disaster has been solved by you for the time being, there is no need for me to continue to give." After saying that, he paused, and then said:
"Maybe I won't have to give anymore in the future." Then he took the initiative to:
"Take out the Book of Souls."
His performance like this fell into Zhao Fusheng's arms, and she immediately smiled, and took out the soul book with a smile and handed it over:
"You're talking about credit."
"It's also because you have good strength, you have broken down the ghosts, and solved the ghost disaster in the alley." He said calmly, "If you die here, I won't have a chance to talk about credibility." ”
As he spoke, he raised his right index finger and put it to his lips, and after biting it hard, blood gushed out, and Zhao Fusheng quickly put the soul book up.
A drop of blood fell on the jade jade book, and I saw that a black-red figure quickly condensed on it, and resentment flashed in the blood-red eyes of the figure, and finally turned into a person's name and appeared in the soul book:
Liu Yizhen!
After seeing that the matter was done, Liu Yizhen put the fingers that were still bleeding back into his mouth, and saw that Zhao Fusheng Bao Bao extraordinarily put the soul book back into his arms.
"It's just luck." Zhao Fusheng finally let go of his hanging heart and responded with a smile.
Liu Yizhen just smiled when he heard this, and only said after a while:
"I can't leave the Confucius Temple, so I may not be able to participate in the general case of the Demon Suppression Division." He paused, then added:
"But if you're in a critical situation and need help, you can come to me, as long as it's not long, I should be able to help you too."
He behaved more straightforwardly than the Fan brothers.
Although the communication between the two people in the middle also had their own thoughts, and Zhao Fusheng was also recorded in the book of life because of his delivery of porridge, but since then, this person has been trustworthy and willing to enter the book of soul life to be countered by her, and the two sides are controlled by each other, and at this time they are finally willing to let go of some of their guards and try to live in peace with each other temporarily.
Now that he offered to help, it can be seen that he believes in Zhao Fusheng's potential and is willing to make friends with him.
"I am a god in another world" Fusheng's first exorcism has come to an end for the time being.
I believe that the treasures who chased here should be able to see that in the ghost disaster of the rice alley, the ghost of the rice is only the beginning, not the end. This time the ghost disaster is an appetizer for the ghost case later, and the highlight of the Confucius Temple is the headless ghost and Liu Huacheng, the two big ghosts who have not been revived for the time being.
So in the early stage of this story, I needed to spend a lot of pen and ink to pave and dig pits, and I experienced repeated revisions in the middle, which tortured me to death.
In fact, before the shelves, I saved seventy or eighty thousand words, but after the repair and deletion, almost every day to re-overhaul and rewrite has been almost hoo, and this process consumed a lot of my energy, so that I was in a very poor state, every day I was in a very low mood, for the code words to give birth to resistance, and even a little disgusted woo woo woo
After the reconstruction, I overturned the original setting for many things, such as Liu Yizhen's character, and I originally set it to be simple and kind.
The setting of the three ghosts of Confucius Temple was originally obscured in the form of laying lines, and it will only be terrifying when Liu Huacheng becomes a ghost in the later stage of the setting.
But later, I found that many people don't like the obscure laying line, so after the overhaul, it is simply a direct clear clue.
I like to tell stories slowly and logically, and arrange the clues in the middle of the story little by little, I hope you don't rush it.
