I become a god in another world

Chapter 497: A Good Person
Chapter 497

The shadow of an evil spirit appeared at every footprint in the water in Ding'an Tower.

On the stairs, in the corners, at the front door.

Wherever the evil spirit goes, it brings a suffocating, cold, damp and depressing atmosphere.

Liu Yequan and others hung their heads like ostriches, not daring to look or listen.

Zhao Fusheng and others gathered together and tried to cover their bodies in the flame of the ghost lantern as much as possible.

As the evil ghost approached, the illumination range of the ghost light in Zhang Chuansheng's hand was repeatedly compressed.

The evil ghost was wandering around in Ding'an Tower, as if patrolling its territory.

When the ghost approached, the rustling sound of rain and the gurgling sound of water, mixed with dampness and coldness, came towards you, and the flame of the ghost lantern was suppressed.

Watching evil spirits up close and fighting them is a different experience.

The ghost's pupils were silvery white, his face was as white as lime, and his clothes were soaked, which was chilling.

'Tick, tick.'

Amid the sound of flowing water, a thin stream on the ground was like a winding monster snake, heading straight towards Liu Yequan and the others.

Zhao Fusheng's eyes narrowed.

Liu Yequan did not leave Ding'an Tower and his body was not wet.

The guys from Ding'an Building knelt in two rows behind him, with their chins on their chests and their hands hidden between their arms, not daring to look up at the scene here.

Her eyes fell on the old man who was leading the way.

The old man was completely naked, but his head was a little wet.

When she saw this, she immediately stepped out of the range of the ghost lantern and reached out to grab the old man.

The old man also knelt on the ground like Liu Yequan and others. When his hair was grabbed by a hand, he was so scared that his soul almost left his body.

His hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't even scream.

But the one who screamed before him was Zhang Chuanshi who was holding the ghost lantern.

"Sir, you-"

When Zhang Chuanshi saw Zhao Fusheng rashly step out of the area illuminated by the ghost lantern, he couldn't help but exclaim.

He saw Zhao Fusheng mention the old man who led the way, and immediately understood her intention.

The two of them cooperated well.

Zhang Chuanshi quickly glanced at Ding Datong and the people in Wan'an County. He held the ghost lantern and walked towards Zhao Fusheng. At the same time, Zhao Fusheng also moved towards the ghost lantern carrying the old man.

But how can human power compare with that of ghosts?

She had been hit by Zhu Guangling's evil spirit marking rule when she was in Dongping Village. As soon as she stepped out of the area illuminated by the ghost lantern, the evil spirit immediately discovered her presence.

The ghost's speed is incredibly fast.

The figure of the evil ghost was still there the previous moment, and the next moment the black air had gathered in front of Zhao Fusheng.

Zhu Guangling's pair of ghost pupils turned silver, and the silver light reflected into Zhao Fusheng's eyes.

The moment the evil ghost's pupils changed color, Zhao Fusheng had already realized that something was wrong, and immediately activated the evil ghost's power of giving first and taking later.

Mr. Xie moved his fingers, as if he wanted to touch his waist - then an incredible scene happened before his eyes.

As the silver light of the evil ghost's pupils shone into Zhao Fusheng's eyes, a pair of wet and muddy "shoes" were forcibly put on Zhao Fusheng's insteps - it was obvious that the ghost was possessing her at this time.

Once the evil spirit completely attaches itself to her body, Zhao Fusheng will be completely "killed" by the ghost.

At this critical moment, the "ghost shoes" transformed by the evil spirit suddenly slipped, as if the ghost stumbled and lost its balance, and suddenly slid out a short distance.

The ghost shoes then separated from Zhao Fusheng's body.

The evil spirit's law of giving first and taking later played an incredibly magical role, winning Zhao Fusheng a precious opportunity.

The moment the evil ghost escaped, Zhang Chuansheng approached with a lantern, while Zhao Fusheng dragged the old man back quickly.

When the ghost turned into black mist again after a brief "stumble" and tried to approach again, it was too late.

The cold light of the ghost lantern enveloped everyone.

The evil ghost transformed itself and wandered around the light. With every step it took, the range of the light shrank by a few inches.

Everyone couldn't help but squeeze together.

Black air swirled, and the fire in Zhang Chuanshi's hand began to dim.

Just when everyone was worried, after two or three breaths, the figure of the evil ghost disappeared, and the shadow of a ghost appeared at other footprints in Ding'an Tower.

Just like patrolling a site, the evil ghost "stepped" on every footprint, found nothing, and finally disappeared in the lobby of the building.

The sound of rain gradually faded away, and the cold and gloomy air dissipated.

The ghost left.

The moment the evil ghost left, the ghost lantern in Zhang Chuansheng's hand suddenly went out.

The moment the fire went out, everyone's heart tightened, but fortunately the ghost did not look back.

Zhao Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief and broke the silence:
"never mind."

These words sounded like an order, and all those who were holding their breath involuntarily gasped.

Liu Yequan and others who were kneeling on the ground collapsed.

Zhao Fusheng loosened her grip, and the old man, whose hair she had been twisting, fell to the ground with a thump.

After landing, he belatedly touched his painful scalp. Stimulated by the pain, he finally remembered Zhao Fusheng's life-saving grace. He quickly knelt on the ground, knocking his forehead with a "bang bang" sound, and said:
"Thank you very much for saving my life, thank you very much--"

Manager Liu and the others also stood up tremblingly, wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads:

"Tonight is extremely dangerous."

The other guys nodded one after another.

Zhao Fusheng asked:

"Was that Zhu Guangling just now?"

"Yes, yes—" Shopkeeper Liu nodded twice, then looked hesitant:

"It's not really—"

There were a series of mishaps tonight.

Fan Wujiu's heartstrings were stretched to the extreme.

Although he did not actually participate in the ghost fighting, he experienced a lot of fear and pressure during the period - after he controlled the special ghosts, his sensitivity to evil spirits became more acute than before.

The appearance of the human-skin ghost brought him terrible pressure, as if he was back to the day when he faced the ghost without any confidence or ability to fight back. He was left with only fear in his heart and could not muster the courage to confront it.

Thinking of his previous panic, Fan Wujiu was in a bad mood. When he heard Manager Liu's hesitation, he was furious. He clenched his fist and said angrily:

"Yes, it is. No, it is not. If you still can't explain it clearly, I'll punch you in the head and smash it into pieces. Do you believe it?"

Fan Wujiu had an ugly expression and fierce eyes, and looked particularly vicious.

Liu Yequan already knew that this group of people were the ghost riders from the Demon Suppression Bureau. Not only were they powerful, they were also numerous.

If I really angered this group of old men and was beaten to death by them in a rage, I would probably have no place to appeal because there are royal relatives behind me.

He was frightened and kowtowed quickly:

"My Lord, please listen to my explanation." He was afraid that if he spoke too slowly, Fan Wujiu's fist would fall on him, so he immediately suppressed his fear and spoke quickly:
"In our Shangyang County, Lord Zhu's situation is special. We can say that he is a 'ghost god', but we can also say that he is a human being."

Zhao Fusheng's heart moved. She glanced at Fan Wujiu, signaling him to stay calm, and then asked Liu Yequan to stand up and reply:

"Tell me what happened tonight."

Liu Yequan saw that her expression was gentle and there was no hostility in her words.

He had previously witnessed with his own eyes how powerful Zhao Fusheng was, and how she was able to fight against a human-skinned ghost. He was extremely in awe of her.

Seeing that Fan Wujiu and the others were respectful to her, he knew that she was the leader of this group. He felt relieved and bowed. As expected, he got up obediently, apologized, and whispered to the waiters to go to the kitchen immediately to start the fire, boil water and prepare the food.

Finally, he straightened his collar and said seriously:

"My Lords, I was blind before and failed to recognize the identity of our distinguished guests. I was very negligent. I beg your forgiveness."

After saying this, he saw that the Lu family looked uneasy, so he smiled and said:
"Don't worry, everyone. Our Qingzhengfang is in a special situation. As long as Lord Zhu's 'ghost' passes by at night, all the troubles will be gone. This night will be safe and there will be no more trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Chen's mother was a little unconvinced. Thinking that these people were visitors from outside the area and did not know much about the situation in Shangyang County, he explained a few more sentences:

"This has been the rule of Qingzhengfang for many years. To be honest with you gentlemen, I have been in Qingzhengfang for seven or eight years. Especially in the past two years, with Master Zhu guarding the place, the places he walks through at night are the cleanest."

Liu Yequan's expression at this moment indeed seemed to be much more relaxed, without any of the fear and anxiety he had before.

——This looseness in body language couldn't be deceiving, he was obviously telling the truth.

Zhao Fusheng was curious.

Manager Liu asked people to bring stools for everyone to sit down. Even the guests who had already rested upstairs came downstairs out of curiosity and gathered around the hall of Ding'an Building from a distance, staring at the group of people.

The old man who led the way picked up the wet clothes on the ground and put them on. Everyone sat down one after another, and then Manager Liu said:
"Sir, if we want to talk about Mr. Zhu's situation, we must first talk about our Shangyang County."

It was already the middle of the night, but Ding'an Tower was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

The sound of doors opening could be heard continuously in the distance. Someone actually heard the noise here and curiously looked over here.

Zhao Fusheng saw all of this and had a rough idea of ​​the situation in Qingzhengfang in his mind.

"Before I entered the district, I heard that Qingzheng District was not very peaceful," said Zhao Fusheng.

Liu Yequan said respectfully:

"If I hadn't seen your majesty tonight, there are some things I would never dare to say."

He thought about it, then raised his head and met Zhao Fusheng's gaze:

"May I ask if you are the ancestor of the Xie family, Mr. Xie, the golden general who came from the Imperial Capital?"

"what?!"

When Liu Yequan said this, Zhao Fusheng was a little surprised.

Shangyang County is close to the imperial capital.

According to her original estimation, chaos was about to break out in Shangyang County and might bring disaster to the Imperial Capital - this was also the reason why the Imperial Capital Demon Suppression Department could not tolerate it and sent General Jin to clean up the mess.

Before entering Shangyang County, she had thought that the people in the county must be living in dire straits. However, what she saw and heard after entering the town seemed to be completely inconsistent with her guess.

The feelings of the people in the county seemed to be divided into two. One part was represented by Qian Zhongying, who was worried about the situation in Shangyang County and believed that living here would be a dead end sooner or later.
The other part is the people from the upper three districts headed by Qingzhengfang who live around the Demon Suppression Bureau. They seem to feel that Shangyang County is very safe with Zhu Guangling's protection. The people here even admire Zhu Guangling to the extreme and are particularly respectful when mentioning him in their conversations.

This is very rare.

Closer to home.

The situation in Shangyang County is special. According to Zhao Fusheng's initial estimate, the people here should be hoping that someone from the capital will come to clean up the chaos, so they will pay attention to the current situation.

Qingzhengfang is one of the top three wards in Shangyang County. All the residents there are prominent people with important status and background. It is not surprising to guess that someone from the Imperial Capital will come.

But it seemed that Manager Liu knew more about the situation in Dijing than Zhao Fusheng had originally guessed. Not only did he know that Dijing would send someone to Shangyang County, he also seemed to know that the person sent by Dijing was surnamed Xie. This was a bit strange.

As Zhao Fusheng's eyes flickered, Liu Yequan seemed to see what Zhao Fusheng was thinking:
"Are you curious about how I know this, my Lord?"

"I'm actually a little curious."

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"Your Ding'an Tower belongs to the King of Chu. Although the King of Chu is a royal relative, these days——"

The Han Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years. Although the name of the royal family was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, in a world where evil spirits were rampant, strength was king.

Today, the credibility of the imperial power has declined and is no longer as important as that of the Demon-Suppression Division. This can be seen from the fact that local government officials obey the orders of the Demon-Suppression Division.

The Chu Palace has been passed down to this day, and although it still belongs to the royal family, this title can only scare ordinary people at most. To a ghost rider, especially a general-level ghost rider who is the lord of a county, it is not worth mentioning.

Such a major event as the departure of the golden general from the imperial capital also involves insider information. How did an ordinary person like Liu Yequan in Ding'an Tower know about it?
When Mr. Xie at the side heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched strangely twice, and then finally fixed on an upward state, revealing a smile.

He suddenly raised his elbow and hit Zhang Chuanshi twice:

"Xiao Zhang, do you have any sunflower seeds or peanuts?" he said to himself:

"I think we're going to have a long talk tonight, so it would be great if we could have some tea."

Zhang Chuanshi always felt that he was treated as a permanent attendant by this visitor from the imperial capital.

He was angry but dared not speak out.

Fortunately, Liu Yequan was keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully. When he heard what Mr. Xie said, he immediately spoke up to help him out:

"Yes, yes, we have tea, fruits, dim sum, and other common snacks and drinks in the capital." After saying that, he immediately called the waiter loudly and asked him to serve food to entertain the guests.

After finishing these chores, Liu Yequan wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"We were just talking about the visit of Lord Xie from the Imperial Capital. To be honest with you, our Chu Palace is not as powerful as it used to be. I got this information from Lord Zhu."

Ding Datong was surprised:
"Zhu Guangling actually told you these things?"

Seeing Liu Yequan nod, Ding Datong, Tao Lifang and others showed disbelief on their faces and said in unison:
"This Zhu Guangling is really a..." He hesitated for a moment and said:
"Good, good man!?"

There was some uncertainty in his words.

But when Liu Yequan heard this, he nodded vigorously:
"Master Zhu is indeed a very good man. In my lifetime, Master Zhu is the best ghost tamer I have ever seen—" When he said this, he seemed to be afraid that Zhao Fusheng would be angry, so he secretly looked up at her and changed the subject:
"——One, you gentlemen are also wise and brave, and are truly the best gentlemen I have ever seen in my life."

"Okay, if you have something to say, say it and stop flattering me." Zhao Fusheng frowned.

Zhang Chuanshi snorted and agreed, "That's right."

Liu Yequan didn't care at all after being scolded. For an ordinary person like him, the scolding from the ghost rider didn't make him feel ashamed. Being able to have a normal conversation and not being beaten to death was already a blessing from God.

He smiled and responded:
"Yes."

After laughing, his expression became serious:
"Before I talk about these things, I want to talk about another thing first."

He said:
"Sir, are you not Sir Xie from the Imperial Capital?" After saying this, he muttered to himself:
"I heard from Lord Zhu that this golden general from the Imperial Capital is a person of great importance."
