Chapter 54

At the same time, the chill came and went quickly, the clouds were blown away by the wind, the sun was sprinkled again, Fan Bi was confused, I don't know if the strangeness of the previous moment was his own delusion.

On the carriage, Zhao Fusheng listened to the hints in Zhihai with some regret:

Failed to capture the ghosts.

Although the Fengshen List had already reminded her that the hell level was too low to trap the fierce ghosts above the fierce level, she still tried to use the characteristics of hell to try to send away the powerful ghosts she controlled, but in the end she failed as expected.

However, Zhao Fusheng had expected this, so she was not discouraged, but thought about it, took out the ghost hand hidden in the cuff, and cast hell again.

The shadows silently engulfed the ghost's hands.

The moment the shrunken ghost hand entered the hell, it quickly began to swell, and the human skin paper it held in its palm fell with a 'snap'.

However, after the ghost hand recovered, it did not move, but was restrained by the power of hell.

Zhao Fusheng's divine consciousness was closely related to hell, and at this time, he clearly felt that he could 'touch' at any time to find the location of the ghost hand and the fallen human skin paper.

The feeling that hell was all in her mind was too mysterious.

But she could faintly feel the uncontrollability of the ghost hand, and the ghost hand was held one by one, as if instinctively looking for the body, wanting to break through the blockade of hell.

The level of the rice ghost itself has reached the evil level, although Zhao Fusheng decomposed it, but the decomposed ghost hand itself represents the law of killing the rice ghost, and it is the strongest part of the body of the rice ghost-

Therefore, if the first layer of hell wants to completely control this ghost hand, it is still a little difficult for the current Zhao Fusheng.

The benefits of hell are also obvious.

Once the ghost hand is put into hell, it seems that he is completely isolated from this world, as if he is living in two different planes.

When Zhao Fusheng was thinking, he sensed the struggle of the ghost hand, and suddenly his mind 'grabbed', and grabbed the ghost hand and the human skin paper at the same time.

As soon as the ghost hand was caught out of hell, he was going to kill people by instinct in an instant, Zhao Fusheng's face sank, and he stuffed the human skin paper into the ghost hand, and at the same moment, she knew that the sea was sealed and the god list prompted:

Sensing the revival of the ghost hand, deduct 5 merit points to suppress.

Hell is overused, causing the host to control the restlessness of the ghost, and deduct 10 merit points to appease.

“……”

Zhao Fusheng didn't expect that with this entry and exit, his only remaining merit value would be deducted by another 15 points, and now there are only 25 merit points left.

She frowned at the ghost hand in her palm that had shrunk back into a miniature arm, a piece of human skin paper held tightly in her hand.

After this attempt, although Zhao Fusheng lost part of his merit points, he also tried out several important information:

The use of Hell is not unlimited, especially if she currently lacks merit and her own bargaining chips, and the frequent use of Hell may trigger the revival of the powerful ghosts she wields;

When a controlled ghost is put into Hell and then released again, the Demon will lose control again - for example, this Demon Hand, which she had subdued using the law of controlling ghosts, but when she entered and exited from Hell, she still re-triggered the Demon Technique.

The most important thing is that after the revival of the ghost hand, it seems that the 'appetite' has grown, and the human skin paper can no longer meet the need to appease it.

If it weren't for the fact that the Fengshen List used merit points to suppress it at a critical moment, the ghost hand might get out of control again.

After sorting out these rules, Zhao Fusheng unconsciously breathed a long sigh of relief.

This test is completely worth it, and the useful experience summed up by consuming merit points in advance can prevent you from making mistakes at critical junctures in the future.

Now it seems that the merit value is really a good thing, and she is completely insufficient.

"Fusheng, just-"

Outside the carriage, Fan Bi thought about it and felt that the yin wind just now was a little evil.

Wan'an County is not an ordinary place of great murder now, the appearance of the ghost fog made the imperial court give up here, and the ordinary ghost riders easily did not dare to set foot on this land, for fear that there would be no return-after coming to the influence of the ghost fog, the ghost on the body accelerated its recovery, and then died here.

In such a situation, as soon as there is a stir, Fan Bi will be afraid of death, worried that there will be ghosts.

Although the yin wind came and went quickly, the more Fan Bi thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he still asked hard.

Zhao Fusheng unhurriedly stuffed the reshrunken mini ghost arm into his cuffs, and when he heard Fan Bidan speak, he said:

"It's okay, I just tried the power of ghosts, and there is no problem."

'Shhh ’

'Drink! ’

Pang Zhixian and the others gasped, and Fan Bi's doubts were also choked back into his throat.

The two brothers glanced at each other with a look of shock in their eyes.

The two of them were adopted by Zhao Duan back then, grew up with Zhao Qiming since childhood, accompanied Zhao Qiming to Wan'an County, and saw Zhao Qiming control the ghosts, and then was affected by the ghosts out of control.

Every time you use more of the power of the ghost, you will be assimilated by the ghost, become cold and cruel, lose your human emotions, and let more instinct and sense of killing take over.

The ghost thing that Zhao Fusheng made was the same one that Zhao Qiming was out of control at the beginning, when she was in the Demon Suppression Division that day, she suppressed the resuscitated Zhao couple who had already used the power of the ghost, and this time she entered the rice alley, and she could decompose the ghost in the rice alley, and she must have used the power of the ghost.

How can a newcomer who is lucky enough to control a fierce ghost be able to completely subdue a fierce ghost after controlling it, and use the power of a powerful ghost twice in a row, but it seems that he is not affected by it at all?

She even dares to fiddle with ghosts when she has nothing to do, isn't she afraid of being eaten by ghosts?

Fan Bid's heart was full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask easily, for fear of angering Zhao Fusheng.

He even thought a little uneasy and darkly: Zhao Fusheng's performance was too weird.

She is literate, numeracy, and has a shrewd and calm personality, she is not in a hurry after the ghost master, is she herself a hidden extraordinary ghost master? And do you know all this paper people?

If the paper man Zhang knows nothing, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?

If the paper man Zhang knew Zhao Fusheng's extraordinaryness early on, received things that day, and pointed out his brother's method of causing trouble to the east, did he deliberately want to lead his brother to make a feud with Zhao Fusheng?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and his eyes looked at Zhang Chuanshi with a bit of hatred.

Zhao Fusheng didn't know what he was thinking, and after trying the usefulness of hell, she couldn't help but try to open the second layer of hell again.

Knowing the sea, the response of the god list came:

If the host's merit is less than 1000 points, the second layer of hell will be opened.

The feedback of the failure was within Zhao Fusheng's expectations, but she still frowned when she learned that the 1,000 merit points needed to open the second layer of hell.

By now, she can basically determine that the acquisition of merit points is related to the size of the ghost cases she handles, the level of the ghosts, the scope involved, and the number of people saved.

Although 1,000 merit points is a lot, it is not an untouchable number for her.

What made her feel a little uneasy was that the amount of merit required to open the second level of hell was exactly 10 times that of the first one, and if the subsequent opening of hell was calculated according to this multiple, then she would be busy.

"If you don't have money, it doesn't matter, and the merit is not enough-"

She muttered to herself:

"Looks like we're going to have to work hard to catch ghosts."

Outside the carriage, Zhang Chuanshi vaguely heard her mention 'no money', and then heard her say that she was working hard to 'catch ghosts', and couldn't help but feel excited, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

After that, nothing strange happened, and Pang Zhixian and the others followed Zhao Fusheng's instructions and returned to the Demon Suppression Division first.

Zhao Fusheng stayed in the restaurant alley for three days and needed to wash.

She got out of the carriage and didn't greet Pang Zhixian and the others, so she went straight back to her temporary residence in the Demon Suppression Division.

After the two Fan Bisheng brothers returned from what she had told them that day, they obviously found someone to clean up the Demon Suppression Division again.

The bloodstains in the lobby of the Yamen were cleaned up, and the broken areas were simply repaired.

The room where Zhao Fusheng lived was also tidied up in advance, clean clothes, shoes and socks were all placed on her bed, and the bedding on the bed should have been changed.

The Fan brothers don't know if she can go back this time, but the two of them have already done it on the surface.

The strong in this world are respected, and once she shows the strength worthy of fear, life will suddenly be much easier.

Zhao Fusheng simply freshened up, and when he came out with clean clothes, the errand servants outside and some of the people watching the excitement had already left temporarily.

A large table was set up in the courtyard outside the lobby with food on it, and Pang Zhixian and several elderly squires were still waiting.

As soon as she came out, everyone hurriedly came forward to salute, and Pang Zhixian said:

"I was supposed to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, but I was afraid that you would be tired, so I left the feast for the future, and today several villagers in the county thanked you for your meritorious work in driving away ghosts, and sent some light gifts, I want to ask you to enjoy your face and store."

As he spoke, Pang Zhixian beckoned, and the master on the side hurriedly shouted, and five or six people outside walked in with a foot-long wooden box.

Several people stood in a row, and the master stepped forward and opened the lids one by one, and there were bright silver ingots inside.

It is already an unwritten rule that the commander will be worshiped by a local squire with a head and a face, which is also a hidden 'protection fee'.

Fan Bi Die secretly raised his head and peeked at Zhao Fusheng out of the corner of his eye.

She was born in poverty, and was bought by five copper plates before, and then she was even more trapped by money, and she couldn't even afford the coffin for her parents' burial, and she had to rely on coaxing and threatening to find Zhang Chuanshi to 'borrow'.

Generally speaking, some of the Ling Divisions in the Demon Suppression Division are heirloom families like Zhao Qiming's father and son, and there are more people who are successful in controlling ghosts by coincidence.

And this part of the people are not from obvious backgrounds, and the poor have a characteristic of being rich at first glance: that is, they are greedy for money at the beginning.

After that, most of them will be rampant, and the people in the fish and meat township will eventually fear death and look for a chance to save their lives.

Once you find that there is no way to ask for help, you will definitely die, and you will no longer restrain your nature, and become fierce and cruel, which is as feared as a ghost.

Fan Bi died and saw Zhao Fusheng's gaze turn around on the silver.

She was calm and calm, and did not show any greedy joy, but nodded:

"Put it away."

Fan Bi was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly came back to his senses and bumped his younger brother on the shoulder, and the two brothers hurriedly stepped forward and put away all the silver.

Seeing that she collected the silver, Pang Zhixian and several elderly squires suddenly showed joy.

Pang Zhi County is anxious to show loyalty:

"Lord Zhao, you are also aware of the situation in Wan'an County now, ghost cases occur frequently in various places, and I also know that you are busy with official business, if there are general ghost cases, you will also notify the towns and townships in advance as much as possible not to disturb you, but if it is true-"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng waved his hand and said with a serious face:

"No way!"

When everyone heard her say this, their faces turned bitter.

On the contrary, the Fan brothers and Zhang Chuanshi, who was hiding aside and cowering, were happy.

In the face of ghost cases, ordinary people and demon suppressors are two extreme attitudes.

Pangzhi County and the rich squires in the county are afraid of ghosts and ghosts, and they are also afraid of the Lingsi who controls ghosts.

The former is fatal, and the latter is to knock on the bone and suck the marrow.

But sometimes the knife holder is on the neck, even if he knows that the demon suppression commander is not easy to deal with, but compared to his life, money is a foreign object, and sometimes he should be used.

And for the people of the Demon Suppression Division, money is easy to obtain, but there is only one life.

In particular, the probability of sacrifice has always been extremely high, Fan Bi's brother is now not asking for money, just trying to save his life, Zhao Fusheng does not take on the ghost case, which is a great news for him.

"That-" Pang Zhixian was sweating profusely, and his mouth was astringent, and when he didn't know how to open his mouth to please Zhao Fusheng, he heard her smile and say again:

"If there is a ghost case, try to report it, if I have time, I will naturally not sit idly by."

This time she made a trip to the alley, she earned merit and opened hell, and now she has the ability to temporarily collect a powerful ghost, and at the same time has a ghost hand, so she naturally has the confidence to speak.

After experiencing this, Zhao Fusheng realized the potential of the god list, and naturally wanted to grab more powerful ghosts in exchange for merit, and strive to be able to promote the powerful ghosts he commanded to the gods as soon as possible.

The turn in her words suddenly made the faces of the two people change.

Pang Zhixian and the others were first overjoyed and then shocked, while Fan Bisheng and the three were first shocked and then frightened, and the two sides didn't know how to respond to her words, so they looked at each other for a while and didn't dare to speak out.

Although Zhao Fusheng said that he drank soup to pad his stomach, although Meng Po's soup was good, she was still not very full, and she was already hungry all the way back, so she couldn't stop eating at the dinner table.

When she was full of food and drink and put down the chopsticks, the rest of the people who accompanied her followed with a sigh of relief.

After that, Pang Zhixian and others exchanged a few words of greeting, and then left one by one.

As soon as these people left, Fan Bid's face suddenly changed:

"Fusheng, do you really want to do another ghost case?"

He didn't get along with Zhao Fusheng for a long time after being reborn as a ghost, but in the process of dealing with her, he figured out her personality and knew that her previous words were not joking with everyone.

Pang Zhixian and the others thought that she was answering casually, but only the three people of the Demon Suppression Division knew that she was sincere in saying these words, so they couldn't sit still, and it was not until they sent the guests away at this time that Fan Bisheng asked out loud.

"Yes."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

As she spoke, she leaned back in the chair behind her and lifted her leg to the chair on the other side.

Zhang Chuanshi on the side stepped forward and pushed a chair, so that she could adjust her posture and lie more comfortably.

She sneered and saw that Zhang Chuanshi didn't speak, this bad old man 'hehe' smiled dryly, his eyes were shining, but he didn't dare to make eye contact with her.

"But-" Fan Bi died and wanted to speak, so Zhao Fusheng waved his hand:

"No, but."

She has a strong attitude, and after handling the ghost case in the alley, she completely established her position in the Demon Suppression Division, so that no one dares to doubt her decision:

"As I said earlier, we should do what we should do as commanders and envoys, to protect the people and uphold justice."

“……”

"......" Fan Bi died, and the two brothers looked at each other helplessly, but they didn't have the heart to persuade her to stop.

Zhao Fusheng ignored them, and turned his head to look at Zhang Chuanshi on the side:

"Lao Zhang."

When she shouted, Zhang Chuanshi's body on the side shook, and his shoulders quickly collapsed.

Without waiting for Zhao Fusheng to speak again, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground with a 'plop' - and then the old man's knees quickly moved forward and knelt beside Zhao Fusheng:

"Lord Zhao spares his life, Lord Zhao spares his life, everything has nothing to do with me-"

Zhao Fusheng was almost amused by him.

Before she could ask, Zhang Chuanshi had already shouted 'spare life' first.

"What has nothing to do with you?" She asked Zhang Chuanshi with a smile, her expression was relaxed, and she couldn't see her joy and anger.

But the more relaxed and casual she was, the more vigilant Zhang Chuanshi's heart became.
