I become a god in another world

Chapter 574 The two sides meet
Chapter 574

The child leaned over the door and took a look outside, then heaved a sigh of relief, nimbly crossed the courtyard and went down the dilapidated corridor.

He walked a few steps, and seemed to be surprised to see that Zhao Fusheng and the others had not caught up. He turned his head to look at everyone, then looked at Kuai Manzhou, and said:

“Wu, wuwu——”

After shouting, 'he' nodded his chin twice.

This action made everyone stunned and confused.

Kuai Manzhou leaned against Zhao Fusheng, reached out and held Zhao Fusheng's hand, and was unmoved by the child's greeting.

The child was stunned for a moment, then turned around and imitated Kuai Manzhou, reaching out to hold Zhao Fusheng's hand.

This action of his immediately angered Kuai Manzhou, and the child who had previously looked indifferent immediately stepped forward to stop him.

She grabbed Zhao Fusheng's hands and glared at the child who came to pull Zhao Fusheng's hands:
"Go away."

Kuai Manzhou said loudly.

The child was stunned for a moment, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, and he looked at Zhao Fusheng with some grievance.

"Man Zhou, wait a moment."

Zhao Fusheng had an idea and freed one hand to tentatively touch the child's head.

The child's face was dark and his hair was messy like weeds, but his body was warm, like a living person.

'hiss. '

Zhao Fusheng took a deep breath and reached out to touch the child's face again.

She had walked all the way from the burning ghostland, her palms were heated by the heat, and when she first touched the child's face, the child's skin was cool and delicate, none of the roughness and heat that Zhao Fusheng had felt when he touched Chen Nuling before.

"You——" A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Fusheng's eyes, and the child imitated her:

"you--"

'He' also reached out to touch Zhao Fusheng's face.

The child's palms were slightly thicker than his face, but also soft and delicate, with a child's unique touch.

Zhao Fusheng rubbed his face against his palm twice to confirm that he had body temperature.

She stood up straight, somewhat incredulous:

"This child is alive."

"what?!"

When the others heard this, they were shocked.

Chen Duozi initially thought it was a ghost and did not dare to approach. But when he heard what Zhao Fusheng said, he felt pity for the child and could not help but approach, touch the child's head, ears and neck:
"Warm, with a heartbeat."

Meng Po also came and touched it:
"It is indeed a living person."

This is really rare!

Because of the law of reincarnation, everyone went back 58 years and entered the city of Zhongdu at that time and accidentally entered hell.

And in the tenth level of hell, there is an old palace from the late Han Dynasty which is more than two hundred years old.

The old palace was destroyed by a fire, and evil spirits should have been rampant, but in this absolute dead place, there was actually a living child hidden.

"It's incredible, is it true or false?"

Liu Yizhen couldn't believe it either, but everyone took turns to touch the child's head and ears, and confirmed that 'he' was a living person.

The child's skin is warm and delicate, with a child's unique touch, and his carotid artery is still beating.

At the same time, he has breathing and heart rate, which is the same as everyone else.

"What on earth is going on?" Zhao Fusheng had many questions in her mind, but she calmed down:
"Is this Changqiu Palace?"

As soon as she asked the question, the child didn't understand what was going on. He looked at Kuai Manyu first, then tilted his head to think for a moment, nodded, and said with difficulty:
"Chang, Chang Qiu——"

Perhaps because he has been trapped in the ghost realm for many years and has been living with ghosts, the child's language ability has been greatly weakened and his comprehension ability is lower than that of ordinary people.

But when the Hanzhong incident happened, he should have been old enough to be a governor and probably understood some things.

"Just now Chen Nuling said that Granny Xu lives in Changqiu Palace and she has a child."

Zhao Fusheng thought of what Chen Miaolian said, and his eyes fell on the child:
"Maybe this is the child who lives with Grandma Xu."

In the minds of Chen Nuling and others, Granny Xu is a ghost, a terrifying existence that makes the entire Zhongdu ghost realm restless. Zhao Fusheng was misled by Chen Nuling at the beginning and was also very wary of Granny Xu. He believed that she was one of the sources of the ghost disasters in the tenth level of hell, and even speculated that the entrance to the disappeared tenth level of the ghost realm might be hidden in the Changqiu Palace.

But when she met the child and discovered that the child was a human, the truth overturned her initial speculation.

Zhao Fusheng was too curious.

In a ghostland that existed nearly two hundred years ago, there are actually living people trapped in hell - how did this child survive?

Was everything she saw, touched, and heard at this moment real or an illusion?

Thinking of this, Zhao Fusheng even had an urge to take out the Qiankun Pen. She was worried that she would be trapped in the false illusion depicted by the Qiankun Pen without realizing it.

All kinds of chaotic thoughts flooded into Zhao Fusheng's consciousness.

After a long while, she finally calmed herself down and looked at the child:
"Where is Granny Xu?"

This child just hasn't communicated with others for a long time, which has caused his reaction to be slow, but this does not mean that he can't understand what everyone is saying.

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, the child tilted his head and stared at her for a while, then gradually understood what she meant, and then he gestured:

"The ghost has gone to patrol the palace."

The child's words were unclear, and Zhao Fusheng couldn't tell for a moment whether he meant "the ghost is patrolling the palace" or "there is a ghost in the palace, and Granny Xu is patrolling the palace."

She couldn't figure it out, so she just stopped thinking about it and asked a simpler question:
"Is Granny Xu alive?"

The child tilted his head and looked at her without saying anything.

Zhao Fusheng waited for a long time, but got no response, so he changed the question:

"Is Granny Xu in Changqiu Palace?" After saying this, afraid that the child didn't understand, he pointed to the palace:

"Is Granny Xu in there?"

This time the child understood and 'he' shook his head.

Zhao Fusheng asked again:
"Has Grandma Xu gone out?" the child nodded.

The child's reaction caused everyone to exchange glances.

Why did Granny Xu go out in the ghost realm? Chen Nuling mentioned that she lived in Changqiu Palace, which means Granny Xu was not wandering around all year round, but should have gone out occasionally.

But just in case, Zhao Fusheng asked again:

"Will she come back?"

This time the child answered quickly, and he nodded:
"meeting."

After getting the response, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, Zhao Fusheng reached out and grabbed the child, fearing that he would run away and disappear in this strange ghostland.

As soon as the child was held by Zhao Fusheng, he showed a happy expression.

He was about the same age as Kuai Manzhou. He and the little girl were holding Zhao Fusheng's hands on each side, and he secretly peered over to make eye contact with Kuai Manzhou.

The child showed the way and everyone entered the hall from the inner courtyard.

As soon as they entered the hall, a cold, damp, and moldy smell hit their noses - this smell made everyone who were used to the smell of burnt charcoal after a fire in the palace suddenly feel a little more real, as if they had left hell and returned to the real world.

The palace was a bit old and some of the decorations had been removed long ago, leaving only tables and kettles necessary for basic living. It was obvious that they had been used for many years.

Zhao Fusheng looked around the palace and saw that the windows were closed and the gaps between them were filled with linen, making the room look a little dark. There were four benches next to the table, but it was obvious that only two of them were occupied.

There were two lounge chairs placed side by side in the corner, covered with old mattresses, which looked quite old.

……

Zhao Fusheng felt relieved when he saw signs of life in the palace.

Now all we have to do is wait for Granny Xu to come back and have a conversation with her, and we can get the answer to the old story of the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Fusheng looked around and saw a kettle beside her. She reached out and weighed it. There was some water in the kettle, but not much.

"Can I get water here?"

The child, like Kuai Manzhou, followed Zhao Fusheng closely. When he heard her question, he looked up blankly.

After a long while, the child seemed to understand what she meant and pointed in the direction of the outside:

"well."

As soon as the child finished speaking, Meng Po took the initiative to say:
"My Lord, I will fetch some water to clean up the child, and wash everyone's face."

After Meng Po finished speaking, she found two containers for holding water and prepared to leave the hall.

She has a decent personality and good strength, but Zhao Fusheng is still worried about her acting alone in the strange ghost territory. Seeing her expression, Chen Duozi took the initiative to suggest that she go with Meng Po.

With these two people working together, they can hold on for a while even if they encounter a ghost.

Everyone found a place to sit down and wait, and time slipped away bit by bit.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of octagonal bells striking each other began to ring.

The ringtones are both inside and outside.

The ringing of the bell outside rang with the movement of the evil spirit, while the ringing of the bell inside the palace came from the child.

Zhao Fusheng looked down at the child. He was barefoot and wearing ragged clothes. He was squatting beside Zhao Fusheng's legs, clinging tightly to her.

Perhaps noticing her gaze, the child raised his head.

He was trapped in the ghost realm, unable to see any strangers. Perhaps he was unaware of the wickedness of human nature, and had no guard against Zhao Fusheng and his group.

Zhao Fusheng stared into the child's eyes. The child's eyes were pure and contained only innocent trust.

There was a string of rings hanging on his waist, and on the rings were strung several wooden beads of strange shapes. The beads had holes drilled in them and were decorated with hanging tassels. At this time, the hanging tassels collided with each other, making a "clang clang" sound.

This is also the sound of the octagonal bell.

……

Soon, sharp screams were heard outside, and the evil ghost's killing cycle had ended again.

On the way, Meng Po and Chen Duozi returned successfully with water.

Everyone was already covered in dust after walking through the palace, so they took some water to wash their faces and hands.

When Chen Duozi saw the child beside him, pity appeared in his eyes.

As a mother, she couldn't bear to see her child in this state, so she and Meng Po took a handkerchief and cleaned the child.

The child began to struggle, but when he saw Kuai Manzhou letting Meng Po wipe his face and hands, he became curious and stopped twisting, allowing Chen Duozi to control him.

Once the black dirt on his face was wiped off, his handsome and lovely face was revealed.

The child looked to be about seven or eight years old, and appeared malnourished due to living in the ghost realm.

'He' looked at his clean hands curiously, then glanced secretly at Kuai Manzhou, with a look of joy on his face.

At this moment, the octagonal bell rang again.

After the fifth reincarnation, the evil ghost's killing came to an end.

In this tenth level of hell, everything has stabilized and the laws of ghosts will not change easily.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the child suddenly stood up:

"Mother-in-law!"

As soon as the child finished speaking, there was a creaking sound of a door being pushed open in the courtyard outside.

Everyone's relaxed expressions disappeared, they looked at each other, and then stood up.

The door was closed and Zhao Fusheng did not hear the sound of the door being pushed open, but the atmosphere in the hall had changed.

A strange smell diluted the musty smell in the hall. Everyone's eyebrows jumped and they turned to look in the direction of the previous entrance to the hall, only to see a dark figure standing at the entrance of the hall.

At this time, the sky had darkened again. There were no lights on in the hall and the light was dim. People could not see the face of the visitor, but they could feel that she was looking at everyone in the hall calmly.

"Mrs. Xu?"

Zhao Fusheng spoke up, breaking the silence.

Her words caused the figure to pause.

After a while, the figure slowly raised his arm - this action made Wu Shaochun and others more alert.

But the man stood there without moving, and the hand he raised was not for a sneak attack. Instead, he slowly took off the black cloak covering his head and casually hung it on the wall at one side.

After doing all this, she rubbed the tinder, and a spark burst out from her fingertips with a "pop" sound.

The fire instantly dispelled the darkness and illuminated the hall. At the same time, the woman's face was clearly displayed in front of everyone.

She was about sixty years old, with gray hair, a thin figure, and a straight back. You could tell that she had a very upright posture.

The woman's eyelids drooped, blocking the expression in her eyes, making it impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.

She did not answer Zhao Fusheng's words, nor did she greet these outsiders. Instead, she walked straight to a copper oil lamp with a flame in her hand and casually threw the sparks in her hand into the lamp.

The fire was bright.

The woman then raised her eyelids and looked at the people who had broken into Changqiu Palace.

"Who are you and how did you get in here?"

She asked coldly.

Although Granny Xu is not young, she has an amazing aura.

Unlike the dirty appearance of the child, she had a clean face and her gray hair was combed meticulously and tied into a bun at the back of her head.

She clasped her hands together when asking the question, and that made her look not to be underestimated.

Zhao Fusheng stared at her and thought to himself: When the ghost from the tenth level of the ghost realm appears, Grandma Xu will leave Changqiu Palace; and when the ghost completes five rounds of killing, Grandma Xu will return.

It seems that what Chen Nuling said cannot be completely disbelieved. When Granny Xu picked up fire and lit a lamp, her aura was intimidating. If she was not a ghost, she must be a special ghost rider.

But she was able to live in the ghost realm for many years and even protected a child, so it can be imagined that she has special abilities.

What happened in Zhongdu City at the end of the pre-Han Dynasty? Who is this child?

Zhao Fusheng's mind was filled with mixed thoughts.

She met Granny Xu's gaze, and both saw temptation, vigilance, and suspicion in each other's eyes.

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly:
"Are you Granny Xu from Changqiu Palace?"

Granny Xu was unmoved:
"You haven't answered my question yet, how did you get in here?"

Fan Wujiu couldn't help but say:
"The master asked you a question, but you didn't answer."

Granny Xu frowned, but when she was about to scold, her eyes fell on Fan Wujiu's face and saw the Fan brothers.

The two were twins and looked identical. Her words froze at her lips, her expression moved, and she murmured:

"Twins."
