Chapter 153

Zhao Fusheng's successive questions woke up the stunned Zhang Chuanshi and others, and everyone was surprised by the flowers.

And in this instant, Zhuang Laoqi's remains began to change again.

The dry bones, which were originally as white as jade, began to wither after several bowl-sized bright red flower bones bloomed, and the bones seemed to have been drained of all the essence of life.

In an instant, I saw the bones turn from white to gray, and then from gray to brown, forming a color like the roots of a dead tree.

Where the chest cavity connected to the spine, the decayed bones seemed to no longer support the whole body, and the sternum broke and scattered to the ground.

But the beautiful flowers did not scatter, but fell to the ground with those broken bones, and unfolded in the heavens and the earth.

"It's-"

When Zhang Chuanshi saw the flower, he wanted to pick it cheaply:

"My lord, what is this?"

Zhao Fusheng remained silent and encouraged him:

"You pick it up and I'll take a look."

Zhang Chuanshi nodded, but the moment his hand touched the black and red flowers, he retracted it coldly, turned his head and smiled at Zhao Fusheng:

"My lord, I'm stupid, right?"

His upper lip twitched with two slender whiskers, and he trembled with a smug smile:

"I'm not going to do such a thing—"

Before Zhang Chuanshi finished speaking, Fan Wusu suddenly stretched out his hand like lightning, and held Zhang Chuanshi's palm inside, and touched the stem of the strange flower that was as bright as blood.

One moment Zhang Chuanshi was still smiling triumphantly at Zhao Fusheng, and the next moment his hand was forced to grasp the flower stem in the palm of his hand, Fan Wuxu pulled the flower off roughly.

“……”

This change came suddenly, and Zhang Chuanshi was caught off guard and was not half prepared.

Everyone was dumbfounded, Wu Shaochun's back was cold, he glanced at Fan Wuxu, and hurriedly retreated vigilantly.

"My lord, Lao Zhang has taken it off."

As soon as Fan Wusu saw that the flower was plucked, he let go of his hand, stretched his palm behind his buttocks, and rubbed it twice on his pants, revealing a smile.

"Hey, hey, ahhh!!hh

Zhang Chuanshi was still laughing cheaply one moment, and let out a heart-rending scream the next:

"Xiao Fan, I'm going to beat you to death!"

"My lord, this flower doesn't look poisonous, Lao Zhang is quite angry." Fan Wuxu took a few steps back, avoiding the spit stars that splattered from Zhang Chuanshi's screams.

"You can't save the head of Fan who has been cut off by the plague-"

"Okay, don't make a fuss."

Zhao Fusheng saw that Zhang Chuanshi still had the energy to scold, so he couldn't help but say:

"Flowers shouldn't be so damn touched, but—"

Her heart moved, and she was about to speak, Zhang Chuanshi was furious, like throwing charcoals, throwing the flowers that she had just been forced to pick in her hand to the slope near the river not far away, and wiped her hands desperately on her body:

"Damn Fan is helpless, Lao Tzu wants to report to the official to arrest you-"

"We are the officials of Wan'an County, who do you report?"

Fan Wusu laughed 'hehe', Zhang Chuanshi was furious, and simply stretched out his hand to catch him.

His upper body folded forward, and his body slid out like a loach.

"You can't be saved by the plague who deserves to be killed—"

Zhang Chuanshi saw that he was still hiding, and couldn't help but come to arrest him again, Fan Wusu also knew that what he was doing was not authentic, and he was afraid that he would really want to fight with himself after forcing this old man to be in a hurry, so he hid behind Zhao Fusheng and refused to show up.

If it was usual, Zhao Fusheng would have accumulated a lot of power in Zhang Chuanshi's heart, so he would swallow this breath.

But today he picked a flower on a dead man for no reason, and this dead man died because of a ghost, and the ghost flower that bloomed on his body after death didn't know what was weird, but it was not unusual, and it was unlucky.

He refused to give up, and wanted to catch Fan Wu through Zhao Fusheng, and the two of them circled around Zhao Fusheng one after the other.

"......" Zhao Fusheng's face turned pale.

She stretched out her legs without saying a word, and when Fan Wusu ran around her, she didn't notice it for a while, she tripped over her, and fell to the ground.

"Haha-" Zhang Chuanshi was about to laugh when he saw this scene, and the next moment Zhao Fusheng took out the ghost arm and knocked it on him twice.

The revived ghost arm opened his wet palm and grabbed Zhang Chuanshi's arm, but fortunately he saw the opportunity quickly and pulled out in time.

But it slipped by so easily, and it still pinched Zhang Chuanshi's arm painfully.

Fortunately, the strength of the ghost arm was greatly reduced after the damage, otherwise his hand would have been broken at the least, and a piece of skin would have been torn off at the worst.

"My lord—"

Zhang Chuanshi held his aching arm and shouted in shock.

"Your Excellency."

Fan Wusu also got up from the ground and shouted in embarrassment.

"When is it? There should also be a limit to the trouble. ”

Zhao Fusheng glared at the two of them coldly, Zhang Chuanshi and Fan Wusu came into contact with her eyes, and they both turned their faces away, a little embarrassed and a little unconvinced.

"I just wanted to make a joke with Lao Zhang, why are you so stingy-"

Fan Wuxu muttered.

"Jokes?" Zhang Chuanshi screamed, and when he heard this, blood rushed to the top of his head:

"Are you kidding that? Or you'll pick a flower—"

"That's also why you have to joke with the adults first, isn't it that you are too close to the flowers, I can pick them?" Fan Wusu did not admit defeat.

“……”

Zhao Fusheng clenched his fists and wanted to give these two people two punches.

Worst!

When the two people who were arguing saw her ugly face, they suddenly felt bad and shut up in unison.

"My lord, in my opinion, this flower is nothing remarkable, Master Zhang picked it and there was no accident, Second Brother Fan is right, he is jumping around at this moment, maybe it is just bad luck."

Wu Shaochun played a round in a low voice on the side.

Fan Wusu heard what he said, and nodded hurriedly:

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhang Chuanshi was still rubbing his hands desperately, and Zhao Fusheng said:

"What's so bad about that? Lao Chang opened a coffin shop, and often dealt with the dead, so he was used to this kind of thing. ”

"How is that the same?"

Zhang Chuanshi's weak defense: "My lord also said, those are dead people, and Zhuang Laoqi is, but he is a living dead, a ghost-"

"You also have corpse slaves in the store, I don't mind you." Zhao Fusheng complained.

"That's not the same, the corpse slave won't harm me." Zhang Chuanshidao.

"Zhuang Laoqi didn't want to harm you."

As soon as Zhao Fusheng finished saying this, Zhang Chuanshi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his pale face:

"I'm relieved when my lord says that."

"You're reassuring too soon."

Zhao Fusheng said lightly.

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

Her words made Zhang Chuanshi's heart that he had just put down instantly mentioned again, and he asked a little nervously.

At this moment, the grief-stricken Gou Laosi suddenly said:

"My lord, Zhuang, Zhuangjia Village-"

He looked in the direction of Zhuangjia Village, his face showing horror, and at the same time raised his hand to point to the distance, and the finger trembled.

Everyone turned their heads, and saw that the village in the distance had changed.

A gray wave of fog swept away from the fields in front of everyone to the houses of the villages in the distance, and wherever the fog wave, the golden wheat fields and fruit-bearing branches were bulldozed one by one.

The fields had become barren, the soil had dried up, the surface was gray, and the uncut rice stubble had begun to turn black.

Many of the unharvested vegetables had rotted and rotted in the ground.

The fruit tree had withered, and the branches and leaves on it had almost fallen off, leaving only bare branches.

And the houses in the distance no longer emitted smoke, and this village, which was originally like a paradise, seemed to be instantly beaten back to its original shape with the death of Zhuang Laoqi.

"What's going on—"

Wu Shaochun glanced at it and asked with some horror.

"What we saw earlier was just an illusion." Zhao Fusheng thought for a while and explained:

"Probably similar, the scene we just saw should be the 'hometown' that Zhuang Laoqi longs for in his heart. As soon as his consciousness dies, the village will naturally be revealed. ”

Her words drew out the sadness in Gou Laosi's heart, and he cried quietly.

"My lord—"

At such a sad moment, Zhang Chuanshi felt uncomfortable.

He was also worried that he would have any sequelae after picking the flowers that bloomed from the dead man.

It's a pity that Zhao Fusheng was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Gou Laosi.

At this time, he didn't care what was strange in Zhuangjia Village, and after calling Zhao Fusheng:

"My lord, what did you mean when you said I was relieved too early?"

Zhao Fusheng sighed and took back the ghost arm he had taken out:

"Zhuang Laoqi is a person who was marked by a powerful ghost, and he also died at the hands of a powerful ghost." The reason why he didn't die and didn't become a ghost should be that when he was in the Demon Suppression Division, Zhao Fusheng almost revived the ghost and forced back the ghost aura that borrowed his body.

And after the ghost faded away at that time, his consciousness of yang and yin was still lost, and he remained in a delicate state between life and death.

At the beginning, he didn't know that he was dead, so his state was still complete, but later, from the fear and rejection of Gou Si, Wu Shaochun and others, he should have guessed something, so the stench of the corpse on his body became stronger and stronger, and he was dripping all the way.

When he was in the carriage, he talked to Gou Si about the past, and Gou Laosi lost control for a while, calling him 'old watch', which brought back part of his humanity and made Zhuang Laoqi's situation much better.

But at that time, he must have wanted to return to his hometown in a hurry.

As the old saying goes, the fallen leaves return to the roots.

Under the influence of his power, not long after the carriage left Wan'an County, it entered the ghost domain and returned to Zhuangjia Village at an unbelievable speed.

"Although he didn't harm anyone before he died, after all, it was related to ghosts, and the corpses bloomed after death.

When Zhao Fusheng said this, Zhang Chuanshi shuddered twice, crying and mourning:

"Don't scare me, sir-"

"Take off your clothes, and I'll look at your back."

Zhao Fusheng said.

Her words scared Zhang Chuanshi a lot.

However, Zhang Chuanshi also knew that things were urgent, and although he was afraid in his heart, he still forced himself to calm down, tore off his clothes, and turned his back to everyone.

To everyone's surprise, Zhang Chuanshi's back was thin and white.

Zhao Fusheng focused on the back of his left chest, and did not see the same bruises and purple marks on Gou Laosi's back.

"It's fine."

Zhao Fusheng said.

This sentence is tantamount to the gospel in despair for Zhang Chuanshi, and he is greatly relieved:

"Really?"

"Really."

Zhao Fusheng nodded and said:

"There were no marks at all."

"Hahaha-"

Zhang Chuanshi first laughed loudly, and then, for some reason, his gaze suddenly turned to the direction of Zhuang Laoqi's remains.

Only one of his bones is still preserved, and he looks a little crazy.

But after his accident, in order to stabilize the overall situation, Zhao Fusheng was obviously a living dead at that time, and he lied to him that it was okay.

Zhang Chuanshi was extremely suspicious, and when he thought of this, he said suspiciously:

"My lord, don't coax me, I'm not a fool like Zhuang Laoqi."

"It's really okay, you don't even have a ghost mark on your back. Could it be that I thought too much, and the flowers that bloomed on Zhuang Laoqi's bones after his death had no other meaning? ”

Zhao Fusheng frowned, she glanced at Zhang Chuanshi's back again, there was no mark of the ghost mark on the back, and there was no weird clue at present.

But with the experience of handling ghost cases several times, she always felt that this matter was not over.

"Forget it, Lao Zhang put on his clothes first."

Anyway, if nothing bad happens, it's a happy day; If Zhang Chuanshi is tricked, then he can't hide from what he should have, and it's useless to be anxious.

Zhang Chuanshi was a little happy to hear that there was no mark on his back, but when he saw Zhao Fusheng's serious face, he was a little apprehensive.

"What are we going to do now?" Fan Wusu asked in a low voice.

Zhang Chuanshi's back did not have a ghost mark, and he was also relieved, otherwise this old man would have to fight with him.

"Let's go to the village and take a walk around the village to see if there are any living people-"

Zhao Fusheng pondered for a moment and said.

Gou Laosi's lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

At this time, Zhuangjia Village looks like a ghost village from a distance, and it doesn't look like it has a living mouth.

The group stood here for a long time, but they did not look like they were being snooped on by a living person, and everyone might have pounced even if they entered the village.

Gou Lao Sidao:

"My lord, the last time I came, I thought the village was eerily quiet, and there were fewer people—"

Seven or eight days have passed since the last time he came to Zhuangjia Village, and the ghosts are making such a lot of trouble now, the people in Zhuangjia Village must be more than lucky, maybe Zhuang Laoqi is the last survivor.

Thinking of Zhuang Laoqi, Gou Si's expression was a little gloomy.

Zhao Fusheng said calmly:

"Don't be afraid, let's quickly go into the village and take a walk, mainly because I want to see the village chief's house."

"The village chief?" When Zhang Chuanshi heard this, his eyes rolled:

"Do you want to see Kuai Mancai's corpse?"

This old man usually cheats and cheats, and when he encounters something, he can hide and rely on it, but at this time, he suddenly has a flexible brain and is willing to participate in the ghost case, probably because he picked the flower.

"Yes." Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Zhang Chuanshi suddenly couldn't stand:

"Let's go."

"Gou Laosi, do you know where the village chief of Zhuangjia Village lives?" Zhao Fusheng turned his head to look at Gou Si, and Gou Si nodded worriedly:

"Yes."

"That's good, let's divide into two ways, so it's faster." Zhao Fusheng looked at Fan Wusheng:

"Second Brother Fan and Shaochun all the way, Lao Zhang is alone, the three of you go to see if there is any living in the village, Gou Si and I go all the way to the village chief's house, and finally gather at the village chief's house."

Her words made others a little apprehensive, but Fan Wuxuan had handled two ghost cases with her, and knew that she was the only one in handling ghost cases, and once the tasks were distributed, there was no room for refusal.

And before going out, his brother Fan Bi told him to obey Zhao Fusheng's instructions and not to think about the west.

He resisted his uneasiness and nodded in agreement:

"Okay."

Wu Shaochun was loyal to Zhao Fusheng and nodded:

"Yes."

Only Zhang Chuanshi was a little scared:

"My lord, why are you all in pairs, and I'm alone? I don't dare—"

"Look at your cowardice!" Zhao Fusheng reprimanded:

"The source of the outbreak of the ghost disaster is in Kuailiang Village, I suspect that the people of Zhuangjia Village should be marked by Kuaimancai, and then led to Kuailiang Village, which is only shrouded by the ghost domain for the time being, and there will be no major crisis."

After speaking, he added:

"Although you don't have a ghost mark on your body now, I think that flower is weird, maybe it's also a kind of mark, but now I can't tell what this mark is, if it's a special mark, the average ghost has to hide when they see you, you are the safest!"

Zhao Fusheng's words made Zhang Chuanshi speechless, so he had to accept with tears.

Time waits for no one, and once everyone is properly allocated, the soldiers will divide into three roads and go straight into the village.

Fan and Wu rushed to the left side of the village, Zhang Chuanshi ran to the right alone, and Zhao Fusheng and Gou Si entered the village from the middle and went straight to the village elder's house.
