I become a god in another world

Chapter 488 Arrival at the County City
Chapter 488

"Sir, I think this person is a little strange."

Zhang Chuanshi squeezed next to Zhao Fusheng, stared at Mr. Xie, and said in a low voice:
"This person is so young, but he wears a strange golden bell. I don't think the sound of the bell is right—"

When the bell rang, Zhang Chuanshi even wanted to take out the oars and row a few times.

This is no joke!

Zhang Chuanshi controlled extremely evil creatures. Unlike the Fan brothers, Zhang Chuanshi was well aware of the horror of evil spirits and extremely evil creatures that accompanied ghosts.

Unless it is necessary, he is absolutely unwilling to use the power of evil spirits.

But influenced by Mr. Xie's ringing, he actually wanted to take out the paddle and shake it a few times regardless of anything. This was obviously a sign that the evil creature was out of control.

If it happens to other ghost riders, it is very likely that the evil ghost will be revived by the ringing of the bell, which would be a serious problem.

Mr. Xie's behavior was not normal and he was walking alone in the ghost land.

Zhang Chuanshi's eyes flickered:
"You're so young, but your teeth broke just by chewing a cookie—"

Mr. Xie was baking pancakes, and without even looking up, he said to Zhang Chuanshi:
"I can hear you."

"..." Zhang Chuanshi was a little scared. He shrank his head and wanted to say something, but he was inexplicably afraid of Mr. Xie in front of him. In the end, he was unwilling to shut up, so he had to bump into Fan Wujiu:

"Xiao Fan, tell me something."

Fan Wujiu immediately spoke up:
"I also think this person is suspicious."

"What a fool! He's being used as a tool by others." Mr. Xie shook his head.

Fan Wujiu was furious:
"Who are you calling a fool?"

Zhang Chuanshi responded:
"Yes."

"Okay, stop making noise." Zhao Fusheng shouted, and Fan Wujiu and Zhang Chuanshi immediately shut up.

Mr. Xie turned around in surprise, stared at her for a long while, then looked at Fan Wujiu and Zhang Chuanshi, and finally a look of surprise appeared on his face:
"I really listen to you."

"Mr. Xie, is your tooth okay?" Zhao Fusheng pointed to his mouth.

He shook his head:
"It's okay, just a few lost teeth, I'm used to it."

Zhao Fusheng couldn't understand this "habit". He was silent for a moment and suddenly asked him:
"I see that you are not an ordinary person. There is something strange about the situation in Shangyang County. Why are you here at this time?"

Mr. Xie baked the pancakes on the pan while answering her questions:
"Someone at home asked me to come over to do something."

"You just mentioned that you have servants?" Zhao Fusheng asked again.

Mr. Xie nodded:
"I brought several servants with me. I have a lot of belongings, so I need to prepare before I go out."

"Where is that servant?" Zhao Fusheng looked at him, wondering whether this person was sent by the Imperial Capital Demon Suppression Division to retrieve the ghost fetus.

"We got separated."

Mr. Xie said calmly:
"I borrowed roads along the way, sometimes hitchhiking, and got separated from my servants, so I relied on the golden bell to keep in touch."

"You Jinling..." Zhao Fusheng asked tentatively.

Mr. Xie smiled and said:

"My golden bell is a good thing. As long as I shake it, my servant will be able to hear it and will always find me."

After saying this, he added with a smile:
"This is the best imitation I have ever made of a treasure in my family."

“It turned out to be a fake.”

Zhao Fusheng immediately understood that the function of the golden bell used by Mr. Xie was somewhat similar to the time and space ghost bell.

Since the evil spirits became agitated after he rang the bell, Zhao Fusheng suspected that his servant might not be an ordinary "human".

"...Yes." Mr. Xie choked and responded sullenly after a while.

"To be honest, we are destined to meet. I have made an appointment with a man named Xie from the Imperial Capital to meet in Shangyang County."

This Mr. Xie was holding an imitation bell, and he came from the imperial capital. His last name was Xie. Although he seemed unreliable, he was most likely the Xie descendant mentioned by Ding Datong.

When she thought of this, she turned her head and said to Ding Datong:
"Maybe it's not the ancestor who came, but some unreliable disciple."

"This can't be possible." Ding Datong's fists hardened.

The ghost fetus case was so horrifying that the group from Changping County encountered difficulties along the way and encountered troubles one after another.

The situation in Shangyang County is extremely dangerous. If the person sent by the Imperial Capital to pick them up is not a veteran with all-powerful means and rich experience in dealing with ghost disasters, then it is obvious that the Imperial Capital's Demon Suppression Division is trying to trick the people from Changping County.

Ding Datong couldn't imagine how he and Hu Rong and others would respond if Zhao Fusheng and others hadn't accompanied them on this journey and if Lu Zhuer's ghost revived and was attacked by the paper man Zhang - they would probably have died in Dongping Village and turned into water ghosts like the villagers.

Mr. Xie didn't say anything. He tore the hot pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

He was right, losing teeth had become a normal thing for him.

After a while, the sound of his teeth breaking was even louder than the sound of chewing biscuits, and he kept spitting them out.

Sometimes he was experienced and knew to reach out and catch the tooth before it fell out, then rinse it and put it back in his mouth; sometimes he couldn't catch it and it rolled to the ground, so he would run around the car with his butt sticking up looking for the tooth.

Everyone went from being horrified at first to being calm later on, and when they saw Mr. Xie losing a tooth again, Chen Duozi even took the initiative to help pick it up once or twice.

"Okay, okay, I beg you not to eat anymore."

Zhao Fusheng couldn't bear it any longer and said:
"It seems that we are heading in the same direction. Our meeting is predestined. We are not far from the city. After entering the city, we will find a hotel to stay overnight. There should be food and hot water. Don't eat cakes. Your teeth will fall out."

Mr. Xie was delighted when he heard this:

"That's really thanks to you." After saying that, he lovingly stuffed the remaining half of the pancake into his arms:
"It's just right to save it for later. I'm really hungry on the way here. I haven't suffered so much in years."

After hearing this, everyone was speechless again.

As they were talking, the vehicle moved forward, and soon everyone could vaguely see the city gate.

The name 'Shangyang County' sounds impressive, but the county town is in a dilapidated state.

The city gate is mottled, like an ancient city that has suffered the trauma of war.

According to Qian Zhongying, the city was actually no longer peaceful, but there were still many people defending the city.

Seven or eight men in Han Dynasty official uniforms stood against the city gate, looking listlessly into the distance - within their sight, there was a small table with a boiler on the table top, broth boiling inside, emitting the aroma of food.

Four or five people sat around the table, on which was placed a plate of cooked beans and fried dried vegetables.

Hearing the sound of the carriage, the defenders were cheered up and someone shouted:
"Someone has entered the city!"

“Why are there still people going back to the city at this time—” Several men sitting at the table raised their belts and stood up, surrounding them, either laughing or cursing.

At the same time, someone shouted for people to move wooden stakes to block the carriage.

Ding Datong was about to speak, but Qian Zhongying spoke up hastily:

"Sir, let me come, let me come, we are all one family."

After he finished speaking, Zhao Fusheng ordered:

"Don't reveal our identities."

"Ai!"

Qian Zhongying responded, then crouched down and got out of the carriage.

He went out to greet people, and the people outside laughed and cursed.

During the conversation, Qian Zhongying said that he had gone out on an errand and was in a hurry to come back, so he just entered the city now. "I brought back a few relatives from the clan. Please do me a favor and I will treat you to a drink when I return to the city."

As he spoke, he took out a bag of money and handed it to the soldier guarding the city.

I only heard a man laughing:
"I guess he's an acquaintance. In today's world, who would dare to enter the city at this time?"

After he finished speaking, another person reminded him:
"Brother Qian, it's getting dark. Although this place is far from Qingzhengfang, it's better not to break the taboo and go home early."

"Thank you for your care, brothers. I'll be leaving right away."

……

After a brief conversation, Qian Zhongying stepped back.

He looked at the sky outside, feeling a little anxious:

"Sir, it's getting dark. We should go through the South Gate, which is close to Qingzhengfang."

"What's wrong with being close?" Mr. Xie asked curiously.

"There have always been rumors that Qingzhengfang is haunted at night, so for decades, the Demon Suppression Division has a rule that prohibits traveling during the You hour (around 18:00 in the evening)." Qian Zhongying was used to observing people's expressions and could tell that Mr. Xie might be an extraordinary person. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect his question and answered it seriously.

"I see."

Mr. Xie nodded.

Ordinary people would probably get their scalps tingling when hearing the word "haunted", but he remained calm.

Zhao Fusheng remembered his reaction and looked at Qian Zhongying:
"Where do you live? How far is it from Qingzhengfang?"

She had a deeper prestige in Qian Zhongying's heart. When he heard her question, Qian Zhongying immediately said seriously:
"Sir, the house I live in was bought by Hu Shi that day. It is located in Changyuanfang, which is below the upper three wards. If you drive, it takes about half an hour to get to Qingzhengfang."

He was away from home and couldn't figure out the exact time.

Just as they were talking, a light rain suddenly began to fall from the sky. The raindrops hit the roof of the carport, making a rustling sound like silkworms eating mulberry leaves.

Qian Zhongying's expression changed immediately.

"It's raining!"

He said:
"Sir, it rains a lot in Shangyang County over the past year, especially in the past two months. It rains as soon as it gets dark and stops at dawn." He estimated the time. Two months ago, it rained at midnight (around 23:00). Later, it gradually started to rain earlier. "Until last month, it rained at around 20:00 p.m."

After finishing speaking, he said uneasily:
"I just left not long ago, and you're already here so early—"

Meng Po comforted him:
"Perhaps it is because this place is close to Qingzhengfang that it rained early."

Qian Zhongying felt uneasy, but he also knew that Meng Po had good intentions, so he had to force himself to remain calm and managed a smile:
"Perhaps."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Fusheng:
"Sir, you just entered the city today, there is no rush for anything, why don't you go to my house and rest first."

He said:
"My house is big, with hot water and food. I will definitely be able to entertain you all."

"no need."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"Let's just stay in Qingzhengfang tonight and see what the situation is like in the city."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone else nodded.

"I think we still have some time. Qian Zhongying will show us the way and Zhang Xun will drive the carriage. Please hurry up and find an inn to drop us off. You can stay at Qian Zhongying's house."

Zhang Xun responded.

He swung the whip and hit the horse. The horse felt pain and jumped forward suddenly, and the speed of the vehicle suddenly increased a lot.

Although Shangyang County is known as the center of the county, the roads are not smooth. The wheels of the car shook as they drove on the dilapidated streets, making everyone's faces turn blue.

Fearing that it might be haunted, Zhang Xun drove very fast. After more than a quarter of an hour, the vehicle drove into an alley. At the other end of the alley, another small "besieged city" appeared.

This place seems to be the second special city in Shangyang County.

Everyone had heard Qian Zhongying and Zhang Chuanshi mention Shangyang County's special district model before, so they were not surprised at this time.

It was not yet completely dark, but there were no pedestrians passing by the city gate.

The special rules of Qingzhengfang have long since made the people in the city behave themselves, and everyone retreated into the city early on.

Following Qian Zhongying's instructions, Zhang Xun drove his carriage to a stop at one of the entrances of Qingzhengfang.

The door is closed.

I saw that the main door was pitch black, with two pale lanterns hanging outside.

There was a light in the lantern, and the dim flame illuminated the fine raindrops floating in the air clearly, reflecting an orange-red color.

The tightly closed black doors under the light had a terrifying, oppressive atmosphere that made people feel as if they couldn't breathe. In the middle of the door panel, there was a blood circle stained with a dark red liquid like blood.

The vehicle stopped a few steps away from the gate, and a disgusting stench came from the gate.

The strange blood circle exuded a heart-pounding aura under the light.

The raindrops carrying black air fell, and when they drifted towards the gate, they seemed to be blocked by some strange force, and bounced away more than a foot away from the gate.

"We'll get off here."

Zhao Fusheng saw that it was getting late and said something.

She jumped out of the car first, followed by Kuai Manzhou who also jumped out of the car lightly.

Then Meng Po, Liu Yizhen, Fan Bisi brothers and others filed down.

After these people got off the car, Mr. Xie in the car also had to get off.

He looked quite young, in his prime, but for some reason, his foot slipped when he got off the car, and then he heard a "crackling" sound of bones, and Mr. Xie screamed:
"Ouch, ouch, I sprained my back!"

"..."

At such a tense moment, everyone was stunned when they heard his scream.

Mr. Xie leaned his upper body against the car, one leg stretched forward, the other bent to support his body, his hands supporting his waist and screaming in pain.

Zhao Fusheng looked back and saw that his face was full of pain. He felt unbelievable and absurd.

Zhang Chuanshi had just gotten off the car and was standing next to Mr. Xie. She calmed herself down and told Zhang Chuanshi:
"Help Mr. Xie up and let Qian Zhongying and the others go first."

"...What?!" Zhang Chuanshi let out an incredulous cry: "He is so young, and he hurt his back when he got off the car. He still needs someone who is so much older than him, like me, to help him?"

Although he complained, Zhang Chuanshi did not dare to refute what Zhao Fusheng said. He supported Mr. Xie amidst the cursing.

When his hand touched Mr. Xie, Zhang Chuanshi took a breath of cold air: "Hiss!"

After taking a breath, he was a little bit unbelievable:

"You've been roasting the fire for a long time, and you just occupied the brazier, why are you still so cold?"

"People get afraid of cold when they get older--" Mr. Xie replied.

"You are really going against Tiangang. Do you have the nerve to ask me to support a young man like you?" Zhang Chuanshi muttered.
