I become a god in another world

Chapter 600 Facing the Heart Knot
Chapter 600
Communication between intelligent people requires no words.

Zhao Fusheng heard the hidden meaning in Xie Jingsheng's words, and Xie Jingsheng naturally also heard the deliberate assistance and connivance in her words.

The coldness in his cold eyes began to melt away, and eventually a bit of humanity appeared. After a while, he suddenly laughed:
"Zhu Guangling really has good vision. He entrusted his trust to the right person."

After saying this, he looked at the bloody shadow in the hall and said to the young Feng Du:
"Lord Fengdu, is this the remains of Xie Tian?"

When he said this, his tone was low and there was a hint of suppressed emotion in his voice.

Fengdu glanced at him, hesitated, and nodded.

"He died in a ghost disaster, and no evil ghost revived."

After saying that, he glanced at Xie Jingsheng again and felt that he looked similar to Xie Tian. He secretly guessed in his heart: This young man looked sad when he mentioned Xie Tian, ​​could he be a relative of the Xie family?
"According to the judicial rules of the Demon Suppression Department, Xie Tian has made great contributions in this ghost disaster. The Demon Suppression Department will provide compensation, take care of his family, and ensure that his son reaches adulthood," he said, and then looked at Fan Bisi, maintaining the action of pulling the rope.

A fierce ghost was tied up by Fan Bisi's bloody umbilical cord. This was the ghost controlled by Xie Tian.

"When his son comes of age, if he has talent, I will give priority to letting his son inherit the ghost things he left behind."

Feng Du assured:
"I will also pay more attention to it in the future and make sure the Xie family will be treated favorably."

Xie Jingsheng was silent for a while and nodded.

What Fengdu said was consistent with his memories of growing up.

Back then, Xie Tian died at the hands of the headless ghost, leaving behind an orphan, a widow and his parents, but the Xie family was eventually well taken care of by the Demon Suppression Division.

He had teachers to teach him since he was young, and before he became an adult, he studied, practiced boxing, and exercised his body.

When he came of age, it was natural for him to control ghosts, and eventually he was protected by the Demon Suppression Division all the way. He solved cases and made meritorious contributions step by step, and finally ranked among the Golden Generals.

Xie Jingsheng once thought he was a man of extraordinary talent, but after experiencing the reincarnation disaster 58 years ago, he has vaguely understood the reason.

……

Fengdu ordered people to shovel out Xie Tian's remains, and accompanied by Xie Jingsheng, "sent Xie Tian back" to the Xie family.

After Xie Jingsheng left, Zhao Fusheng looked at everyone else and signaled that they could move freely.

There is still one day left before the return trip. It is too rare for the law of reincarnation to travel through time and space. The Fan brothers, Wu Shaochun, Liu Yizhen and others want to stroll around Dijing and take a look at the imperial capital 58 years ago.

Meng Po hesitated for a while, then asked Zhao Fusheng for a brief leave, intending to take a walk alone.

Feng Du was old, and he had been trapped in the imperial capital for decades, from his youth to his old age. He had no interest in this place at all, so he decided to stay in the palace.

Soon, only Chen Duozi and Zhao Fusheng were left with their two children in the Zhongdu Hall.

Zhao Fusheng rejected the enthusiastic retention of the Demon Suppression Division, the Prince and others, and left Zhongdu with Chen Duozi.

The Demon Suppression Department prepared a carriage and servants for her. After the group left Zhongdu City, the coachman asked:
"Where are you going, my Lord?"

The ghost domain had just been lifted and the capital was littered with corpses, and in many places the bodies had not yet been collected.

This chaos has caused many businesses in the capital to close their doors, and many places are inaccessible.

When Chen Duozi heard the coachman's question, her heart moved - she was used to observing people's expressions and had guessed the direction Zhao Fusheng was planning to go.

"I want to go to the old Zang family ancestral hall in the city." Zhao Fusheng said.

Although this ghost disaster caused many powerful and wealthy people in the capital to flee, and Zang Xiongwu was very likely to escape from the capital in this wave of refugees, Zhao Fusheng still planned to go and see if he could catch him.

The coachman responded and drove away.

Signs of the wreaking of evil spirits could be seen everywhere along the road. Many dilapidated houses and rotten walls were covered in blood. When horse-drawn carriages passed by some streets that had suffered severe damage, only the sound of wheels rolling over the paths could be heard, but no human voices could be heard.

When The Investiture of the Gods mentioned the deaths of civilians in this tragedy, 50000 merit points were deducted from the victims. However, when Zhao Fusheng actually walked through the street and saw the devastated scene, he remained speechless for a long time.

The alley leading to the old Zang family ancestral hall was too narrow, and the Demon Suppression Division's carriage could not pass through, so Zhao Fusheng and others got off the carriage and walked.

When she walked into this road, she clearly felt that there were changes in this place.

This wasn't the first time she had walked this path.

When everyone followed Zang Xiongshan and entered the alley, although the alley was dilapidated, the path had been repaired.

But when we entered again, the repaired path had been destroyed.

The stone bricks on the ground were smashed to pieces, and the surrounding high walls were chopped and stabbed by sharp objects, leaving bloody marks.

When Chen Duozi saw this scene, his eyes moved and he looked at Zhao Fusheng:
"My Lord, was it a ghost who did this?"

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"No."

Ghosts are the epitome of malice in the world, carrying the laws of their previous lives. They only have malice and destructive killing laws towards living beings.

The small paths and broken walls in the alleys are not living creatures. The ghost's body switches between reality and illusion. When it passes through the wall, it turns into nothingness and will not destroy these objects - only people, who are troubled by emotions, will use objects to vent their anger.

Upon hearing this, Chen Duozi moved closer to the wall and reached out to carefully touch the marks of felling on the wall.

There was blood on the blade, and it seemed that the blood could hurt people. As soon as she touched it, the evil spirit cut her finger.

"Sir, I think these knife marks carry the aura of evil spirits, like something very evil."

As soon as Chen Duozi finished speaking, an idea struck him, and he and Zhao Fusheng said in unison:
"Paper mannequin?!"

Zhao Fusheng said:

"This is the old Zang family temple. It is the only way for Zang Xiongwu to go home."

In his hand he had the Rakshasa's broadsword, which was also a very dangerous object.

After escaping from Zhongdu City, Zang Xiongwu has become a terrible person, but according to Zhang Chuanshi's recollection, he originally had a conscience and was loyal - he was stimulated by the death of his family and ventured into the ghost realm of Zhongdu. Although his character was affected after he came back from riding the ghost, he should not have been so out of control.

Zhao Fusheng frowned and said:

"Could it be that something unexpected happened on the way back that stimulated him?"

When she thought of this, she suddenly remembered something.

Before he could speak, Chen Duozi said:
"Aunt Hu."

Chen Duozi was also very meticulous. When she said this, she and Zhao Fusheng came up with the same idea.

The two immediately asked the two children to wait where they were, and they went to the Hu family's house in the alley, and sure enough, something had happened in the Hu family.

There were several corpses left in the house. Their skin had been peeled off and their flesh and blood were blurred. It was hard to tell what they looked like when they were alive. It was extremely horrifying.

Zhao Fucheng sighed:

"Being skinned——" She thought for a moment and then said:

“Maybe making human skin lanterns started from here.”

Chen Duozi looked at the corpses that had lost their human skin and got goose bumps all over his body.

Although she had also experienced some ghost cases, she still felt very uncomfortable when she saw the casualties caused by man-made disasters.

Zhao Fusheng calmed down:
"Let's go."

Chen Duozi asked:
"Sir, are you still going to visit Uncle Zhang's house?"

"have a look."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

The two men left the Hu family and took the two children into the old Zang family ancestral hall. The Zang family's courtyard had been ravaged by ghost disasters and was no longer recognizable.

There were traces of blood on the ground and the yard was empty.

In just a few days, the courtyard had already started to smell musty and decayed, and had a sense of decay.

Things are wrong.

Zhao Fusheng sighed, and he, Chen Duozi and the two children left the Zang family's old ancestral hall.

The imperial capital was in ruins. Zhao Fusheng lost his mood for entertainment after experiencing the skinning case in the old Zang family temple. Kuai Manzhou became indifferent after controlling the ghost and was not curious about the imperial capital at that time.

On the contrary, Xu Yu had stayed in the ghost town with Grandma Xu for more than a hundred years. Once she returned to reality, she enjoyed watching the sparsely populated capital city after experiencing the ghost disaster.

Chen Duozi rarely left Changping County in the first half of his life, and he was very curious about coming to the Imperial Capital 58 years ago. Seeing the two of them like this, Zhao Fusheng simply asked Chen Duozi to take Xu Yu to travel around the Imperial Capital.

Both of them are ghost riders, so they are not afraid of any accidents in the imperial capital.

……

After parting with Chen Duozi and the other man, Zhao Fusheng simply took Kuai Manzhou for a stroll in the city of Zhongdu.

After all, this is the emperor's territory, and the Han court still has some courage.

Once the case of the headless ghost was solved, all the corpses in Zhongdu City had been cleared away during the time when Zhao Fusheng was away.

The ground had been washed with water and no traces of blood were visible, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Zhao Fusheng and Kuai Manyu walked hand in hand around the square in the palace, enjoying the rare peace after the ghost disaster.

The two of them had no purpose, were not disturbed by others, and without the shadow of ghost disasters, it was difficult for them to relax.

While walking, the little girl would occasionally look up and secretly glance at Zhao Fusheng's expression out of the corner of her eyes.

At first Zhao Fusheng did not speak, but after a while, seeing that she was hesitant to speak, he could not help but ask:
"You want to tell me something?"

"Fusheng——"

The child called out to her.

Zhao Fusheng responded softly:
"Ok?"

Kuai Manzhou held her hand tightly. After a while, she suddenly asked softly:

"Fusheng, are you afraid?"

"Afraid?" Kuai Manzhou's words were incoherent, and Zhao Fusheng changed his mind:
"Are you afraid of ghosts?"

The little girl showed hesitation on her face, Zhao Fusheng looked down at her:
"you--"

She looked like she was afraid of ghosts, but not purely afraid of ghosts.

Kuai Manzhou is a ghost rider and has dealings with ghosts himself. Since he started handling ghost cases, he has found that except for the extremely dangerous trip to Shangyang County, most evil ghosts are not as ferocious as those of Mrs. Zhuang Si and the ghost flower of Kuai Mancun.

During the Shangyang County ghost case, she did not retreat when fighting with Zang Xiongshan, and did not seem to be afraid of ghosts.

If she is not afraid of ghosts, but she is afraid of "ghosts", then the identity of the "ghost" that scares her will be revealed.

"Are you afraid of your mother?" Zhao Fusheng guessed.

Kuai Manzhou said nothing.

She turned away and looked into the distance. After a while, she lowered her head and pouted:
"Fusheng, your mother has also turned into a ghost. She wants to kill you as soon as she appears. Are you afraid of her?"

"Not very scared." Zhao Fusheng said lightly.

She has the List of Gods with her, and as long as she has the merit points, she can suppress the door gods. The murderous intentions of the door gods do not pose much threat to her.

The child didn't understand what was going on, so he sighed when he heard this:
"You are so kind, sir. I want to be like you."

When Zhao Fusheng heard this, he held Kuai Manzhou's hand tightly.

The incident in Kuailiang Village actually happened not long ago. Kuai Manzhou was still a child. After experiencing these things, she became silent and introverted. She kept many things in her heart and rarely told others.

"If you are afraid of your mother, I will confer upon you the title of ghosts and gods upon Lady Zhuang Si and Gui Hua. When Wan'an County is at peace in the future, you can be an ordinary person and grow up happily." She asked in a gentle voice:
"OK?"

Kuai Manzhou smiled:

"Actually, I'm not afraid of her—"

The fishy wind blew on the child's face, and a few strands of her messy yellow hair were blown by the wind to cover her pale face.

The little girl put her hair behind her ears, thought for a moment and said:
"Fusheng, I suddenly feel that I may not like her that much."

These words were hidden in her heart, but for some reason, they suddenly came out of her mouth.

"When Shangyang County was fighting the three-eyed ghost, I wanted to escape from her—"

After the evil ghost of Madam Zhuang Si was resurrected, it followed her day and night like a shadow.

This means that Kuai Manzhou cannot be forgotten.

Everything that happened in Kuailiang Village, with the evil ghost accompanying her, seemed to remind her day and night.

"Fusheng, if I hadn't picked that white basil that day, and my mother had left on the boat and never come back, would the following events have not happened?"

She had kept these words in her heart for a long time, but she finally said them out loud in the imperial capital of a different time and space.

After the little girl finished speaking, she was afraid that Zhao Fusheng would show a look of surprise and contempt, so she almost didn't dare to look at her.

After a long while, Kuai Manzhou couldn't help but look up and met Zhao Fusheng's eyes.

Her eyes were calm and gentle, as if they could accommodate all of Kuai Manzhou's emotions, as if his inner uneasiness and worries were all unnecessary, and as if she could understand his hatred and uneasiness.

"I hate her a little bit." Under such gaze, Kuai Manzhou confided:

"Fusheng, I wish my mother was like you."

Zhao Fusheng is gentle and strong, as if there is nothing in the world that can scare her.

She was not like Madam Zhuang Si, who always had a sad face and forced a smile.

No matter what kind of ghost disaster it is, no matter where she is, she will never be discouraged, despair or resign herself to her fate, but will try her best to find a way to solve it.

"If my mother could have——"

She didn't say anything else, but her eyes gradually became bloodshot.

Zhao Fusheng touched her head, and the hostility in the child's eyes gradually disappeared.

"Fusheng, do you look down on my mother?" asked the little girl.

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"will not."

She answered very firmly, and Kuai Manzhou's originally cold heart beat twice.

The little girl herself didn't realize it, she asked impatiently:
"why?"

Zhao Fusheng smiled:

"Because the environment in Zhuangjia Village is bad, your mother has never seen a better life." She did not have a better vision and had lost her courage and hope in her heart, so when she took the step of trying to change, the cowardice in her bones stopped her.

This cowardice even outweighed Mrs. Zhuang Si's fear of death.

"Man Zhou, it's not her fault."

Zhao Fusheng said gently:
"Your mother made a bad choice, but after her death her evil spirit revived and gave you the power."

She looked at the little girl:
"You can be held in her arms, possess the power of a ghost, stand higher, and do things that your mother never dared to think of or do. That's enough."

Her words made Kuai Manzhou's eyes moist.

"It's normal for you to be afraid of it," Zhao Fusheng paused, "After all, it's a ghost, who wouldn't be afraid of it?"

But the love that Mrs. Zhuang Si once gave to Kuai Manzhou was real, and the memories that the mother left in the child's heart were also real, even if these memories were not so beautiful.

"You can be afraid of it, you can love it, or you can hold a grudge against it. That's human nature."

She did not yell at him, nor did she show the contempt that Kuai Manzhou had originally worried about. Instead, she only comforted him gently and kindly - this Zhao Fusheng was completely different from the one she had experienced when she was handling ghost cases.

She was no longer the strong and powerful Zhao Fusheng, but more like her relative.

"Fusheng, you are so nice."

The little girl suddenly reached out and hugged her:
"I like you the most."

Zhao Fusheng touched her head and said nothing more.
