Chapter 50: The Sealed
Chapter 50
This world is full of ghosts, the people live a hard life, and among the people Zhao Fusheng has come into contact with since his rebirth, whether it is the Fan brothers or the paper man Zhang, they are all cunning and murderous indifferent people.
Although Liu Yizhen is not a pure good person, he is smart and steady, and it is easiest to deal with such people.
And he released a certain amount of goodwill to Zhao Fusheng in a timely manner, showing an attitude of cooperation, Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded in response:
"Okay."
With this little episode, the two of them looked much more relaxed when they spoke again.
Liu Yizhen was curious about Zhao Fusheng's origin, so he asked her why she was in charge of the Demon Suppression Division.
This is not a big secret, Zhao Fusheng immediately told that 'he' was used by Fan Bi's brother as a substitute for the dead ghost to buy the Demon Suppression Division, and then his parents were killed by the ghost.
Her resurrection of the corpse is her big secret, and it is naturally impossible for her to say goodbye to others, so she made up an excuse:
“…… I was lucky not to die, and I harnessed the powerful ghosts of the Demon Suppression Division. ”
"I see."
After Liu Yizhen heard what she said, he was also quite surprised by her experience.
If you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, she can escape from the hands of the ghost, and subdue the ghost, thinking about it, she dares to break into the alley of asking for rice alone, and it is not for nothing that she can finally solve the ghost of asking for food.
"But be careful." Liu Yizhen reminded:
"After the ghost is decomposed, it will fall silent for the time being, but this time is not long, and once it recovers, its killing laws may change accordingly."
"Turned into a ghost arm searching for its loss?"
Zhao Fusheng's heart moved and asked.
Talking to smart people is peace of mind.
A smile appeared in Liu Yizhen's eyes, and he nodded slightly:
"The powerful ghost of Confucius Temple back then was Su Long's ghost with people-"
He had a good impression of Zhao Fusheng, at this time, after the two sides exchanged rosters with each other, they were also restricted by each other, he was optimistic about Zhao Fusheng, and he was willing to be friendly with her at this time, and naturally he didn't want her to die too soon, and he was willing to mention a few more words to her about some things.
Of course, this is also because the ghost disaster in Yaofan Hutong has been completely solved - Zhao Fusheng has proved himself with his strength.
But that's not the most important thing.
Liu Yizhen could feel that the new Ling Si of the Demon Suppression Division was very different from the ghost control person he had heard from rumors in the past.
Zhao Fusheng has the aura of a powerful ghost on his body, even if he is well restrained, he is naturally extremely sensitive to the aura of ghosts, and he can still sense that she has used the power of a powerful ghost.
But at this time, her eyes were calm, her speech was restrained, and her mind and reaction were very sharp.
Liu Yizhen didn't know why she used the power of the ghosts, but she didn't become crazy because of the ghosts, but everyone has their own secrets, and he is not ready to get to the bottom of it.
But Liu Yizhen understands that with Zhao Fusheng's intelligence, from the killing rules and appearance of the rice ghost, and the fragmentary clues when talking to him, he may have guessed the origin of the rice ghost.
When the rice ghost returned, he lost his right arm-
Liu Yizhen's eyes fell on Zhao Fusheng's body, and he could feel that in addition to the aura of a powerful ghost, Zhao Fusheng also had the breath of another ghost.
"At that time, everyone didn't know if this method would succeed, so they just tried it desperately."
The Han Dynasty has suffered from ghosts for a long time, everyone knows the horror of ghosts, and they also know that ghosts are immortal and immortal, but how ghosts are created, no one can know, and no one can control ghosts.
"Back then, Zhang Xiongwu's family had been studying the process of transforming people into powerful ghosts for several generations, and Su Long also urgently needed ghosts to suppress ghosts, plus my grandfather paid for them, and the three parties hit it off and reached a cooperation."
He calmly mentioned the past and said:
"The most indispensable thing in the rice alley is beggars, so my grandfather took advantage of the convenience of the Liu family to choose a beggar who was suitable for all the hours and characters, and Zhang Xiongwu killed him by making corpses."
During this period, Su Long also used the power of the ghost to 'point the ghost', and the content of the three-party discussion was: after the beggar was killed in a special way, it was enshrined in the temple, and the Liu's financial resources were used to attract countless homeless poor people to stay here and provide for this ghost in the way of 'buying their lives'.
Many innocent people are grateful for the porridge and water donated by the Liu Family Confucius Temple, and while seeking a short life, they do not know that they are seeking a short life by selling their own 'Fu Shoulu' life.
This method of 'ghosting' was cruel and bloody, but in the end it was a fluke.
The beggar who asked for food was killed by a special method and successfully revived the ghost, but in the end, he was suppressed by the headless ghost and was controlled in the Confucius Temple.
In the middle, there is actually a huge disparity in the strength of the two ghosts, but Liu Huacheng increased the bargaining chips of the ghosts who asked for food by 'borrowing his life' with the method of charity, so the two ghosts reached a balance.
And Liu Huacheng's dealings with two powerful ghosts in his life are enough to show that this person himself is not an ordinary person.
Perhaps it was about his grandfather, Liu Yizhen did not elaborate on Liu Huacheng's past, but brushed his life until the day he died.
"That day was my grandfather's 100th birthday, and he knew the date of his death before his birthday, so he ordered me to go to the Demon Suppression Division."
Zhao Fusheng also knew about the past, but he didn't have a detailed list.
As soon as Liu Huacheng died, he and the headless ghost restrained each other, and at this time, the ghost who had been suppressed for forty years immediately recovered.
It needs food in life and life after death.
There are no rules to follow when a person dies and turns into a ghost, but the law of killing a ghost can be spied out from its lifetime.
"It roams the streets every night, picking random families and knocking on doors to ask for 'food.'"
The chosen one's entire family died at the hands of the devil.
In the past forty years, the rice ghosts were suppressed by the headless ghosts, and reached a certain rule with Confucius Temple, Liu Huacheng, etc.: Liu Huacheng bought his life with porridge to worship the rice ghosts, and the rice ghosts used the qi of these thousands of living beings in disguise to support the headless ghosts.
Therefore, after it revives the ghost, it not only kills people, but also takes away a human head after a 'full meal', which is used to appease the headless ghost.
The truth is out.
Raise a powerful ghost with human life, and then suppress the powerful ghost-
Zhao Fuchang let out a long sigh.
This incident was not glorious, and Su Long probably still had a certain amount of shame back then, so he did not record the cause and effect of this incident.
"Its arm that asks for food represents its law of killing."
Whether it's knocking on the door or raising the head, that ghost hand is extremely crucial.
Now Zhao Fusheng forcibly decomposed its limbs and ripped off its arms, making the body of this ghost incomplete, and the first thing to do in the future when this ghost is revived again, is to find his body.
"In other words, it will kill people, but the ultimate goal is to find me, get its ghost hand back, and piece the ghost corpse together."
Zhao Fusheng's words were disguised as admitting that the arm of the powerful ghost was in his hand.
"Yes." Liu Yizhen was not surprised to hear her say this, but nodded:
"So you still have to be careful."
"Headaches after that." Zhao Fusheng waved his hand and said casually.
Liu Yizhen smiled and didn't take her attitude to heart.
She seems to be rough, but she is actually delicate and suspicious.
I'm afraid that the matter of asking for food ghosts has long been taken to heart by her, but she just deliberately pretended to be like this to confuse others.
"In addition, ghosts and evil things, you carry them with you, and you have to take care of them." He reminded again.
Zhao Fusheng's heart moved and nodded.
As Liu Yizhen said, she left the ghost hand on her body, but she was not affected by the ghost hand, is it because the ghost hand has not recovered for the time being, or because the merit was deducted before the god list cleared the influence?
However, these questions can be answered later, and she has more important questions that Liu Yizhen needs to answer.
She was thinking about how to lead the topic to what she wanted to ask, and Liu Yizhen broke her silence:
"But I'll stay in the temple, and I'll let you know if the ghost is about to recover."
"You're not afraid of accidents?" Zhao Fusheng asked casually.
"Don't be afraid." Liu Yizhen hesitated for a moment and said:
"I have my own way to save my life, and the ghost can't see me."
"Ghost lights?" When Zhao Fusheng heard him say this, he looked up at the top of the Confucius Temple.
There were many lanterns hung there, which had not yet been extinguished.
——This is also where Zhao Fusheng feels puzzled.
The ghost lamp of the paper man Zhang family has a very evil characteristic, if there is no ghost, the lamp oil seems to never burn dry, will not be extinguished, but if it encounters a ghost, it will burn extremely fiercely, and even the lantern will quickly break.
She remembered that she had gone to the Confucius Temple after spending the first night at the restaurant and tried to spy on the inside of the temple, when she sensed the aura of a ghost.
At that time, the lantern appeared to be abnormal, and then a foul smell gushed out, and then the ghostly breath returned, and the lantern soon broke, and the box containing the oil lamp shattered, and the foul-smelling lamp oil spilled all over the ground.
At that time, she didn't know what was going on, and in hindsight, it should have been the ghost lamp that protected her from the prying eyes of the ghosts.
From this point of view, no matter how treacherous and cruel the paper man is, he has some skills in dealing with ghosts.
Thinking of this, she had another doubt:
"There are so many ghost lights in the Confucius Temple—" She rolled her eyes to reveal a sly look, and asked deliberately:
"'Paper Man Zhang' is not a good person, how can he give you so many ghost lights?"
This thing is so precious, and the successive Demon Suppression Divisions are willing to befriend the Zhang family for this reason, which shows that the Zhang family's ability to make ghost lamps is not "ordinary."
And Zhang Xiongwu is not a good thing.
Zhao Fusheng didn't know what the origin of the ghost lamp was, but from the name, this lamp revealed a kind of weirdness.
And turn people into ghosts, this is an evil and abnormal technique.
She has dealt with the paper man Zhang, who is ruthless and vicious, good at skinning people to make lanterns, and raising half-corpses and half-human ghost servants at home, with a lot of lives on his hands.
Such a person will not do good deeds with a simple good intention.
"Back then, your grandfather invited Su Long with half of Liu's savings—"
Su Long still has a certain amount of humanity (humanity here does not refer to conscience), so it is common sense for him to be greedy in the face of the Liu family's huge wealth.
Zhao Fusheng smiled and asked:
"But at what cost did your grandfather impress the Zhang family and let that old man disregard his life and safety several times, and accompany Su Long to enter and exit the Liu family ancestral hall occupied by powerful ghosts three times?"
She tilted her head and looked at Liu Yizhen:
"You also said that the headless ghosts here are not ordinary ghosts, and they have a certain degree of suppression of powerful ghosts."
A ghost master like Su Long has been restrained in front of a headless ghost, and Zhang Xiongwu dares to accompany him in and out under such circumstances, which is tantamount to fighting for his life.
"You guessed it?" Liu Yizhen raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing her question, and finally smiled as if he was not surprised:
"It's not good news that the paper figure has offended you."
Her insight is truly astonishing, and no clue escapes her sight.
Anyway, the past has been said, and this 'disgraceful' thing can't be hidden from Zhao Fusheng, and the two sides exchanged rosters with each other, in a certain aspect, the two are subject to each other, and at the same time, they are tied to each other, so after a moment of silence, he replied:
"My grandfather gave him an item."
"This item is extraordinary, isn't it?" Zhao Fusheng smiled.
The Zhang family is ruthless and kills people like numbness, and they can move Zhang Xiongwu to come forward several times regardless of his life, and give lamps afterwards, this item must be a good thing.
"It's a very powerful thing."
Liu Yizhen nodded.
What should be said and what should not be said was said, and he simply said:
"It's actually a coffin lid."
He knew that Zhao Fusheng was suspicious by nature, and when it came to ghost cases, she was even more meticulous and cautious, and would get to the bottom of many details.
Rather than being asked by her thoughts, and finally involuntarily saying more news, it is better to tell her these things from the beginning.
"After the headless ghost's body was decomposed, his body was put into a coffin." He put the signboard with the word 'Shi' in his arms on the stone table beside him, and talked to her intently:
"That coffin is a peerless murderous thing, it should have been a powerful item that accompanied the awakening of a certain big ghost back then, and the ghost will be suppressed as soon as it enters the coffin."
After that, the coffin somehow fell into the hands of the imperial court, and it was one of the important treasures of the imperial court.
"The law of the headless ghost is special, in order to solve this scourge, the imperial court took out this treasure and put the body of the headless ghost in it."
He sighed:
"It is precisely because of this that the imperial court has also attached great importance to Wan'an County since then."
In addition to worrying about the resurrection of the headless ghost again, he is also worried that someone will take a risk after learning the truth of the incident, regardless of the loss of life, and steal this treasure.
After Liu Huacheng returned to his hometown, most of the Ling Si who went to Wan'an County to serve in the Town Demon Division were extraordinary people, so Wan'an County had a long period of glory and stability.
"It's a pity—" Liu Yizhen said later, pausing for a moment.
Zhao Fusheng continued:
"It's a pity that there was still a problem with the coffin?"
"How do you know?" Liu Yizhen subconsciously asked rhetorically.
But after asking, he couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"I sometimes wonder if the ghosts you wield have the ability to read people's hearts."
"It's not." Zhao Fusheng shook his head solemnly.
"......" Liu Yizhen glanced at her with a strange expression, and Zhao Fusheng immediately smiled:
"Just kidding you."
After speaking, he said with a straight face:
"As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?"
"That's right." Liu Yizhen nodded, and Zhao Fusheng asked:
"Which part of the coffin is missing?"
He said in a low voice:
"Lost a coffin nail."
The coffin itself is a whole, so that it can form a peerless murderous thing that perfectly seals the ghosts.
Once one of the parts is lost, even if it is just a small coffin nail, the sealing effect will be greatly reduced.
After the coffin nail disappeared, the ghost sealed inside immediately revived.
