I become a god in another world

Chapter 708 The Curse Reappears
Chapter 708
The paper figure Zhang revealed a cold smile.

As someone who had once ventured into the seventeenth level of hell, he naturally recognized the Grand Duke Ghost Mother.

At that moment, a murderous intent arose in his heart. Then, with a flick of his wrist, a palm-sized paper cutout of human skin slid out from his wide sleeve. Flames lit up inside the paper cutout, and screams came from within. The paper figure instantly transformed into a strange human skin lantern.

A ghostly figure floated above the lantern, its face filled with resentment.

As soon as the ghost lantern was lit, the sounds of the opera troupe were immediately blocked within its range.

Zhang, the paper figure, sent the lantern into the air, and the ghost lantern floated in front of him for a short while.

Upon seeing that the influence of the ghost opera troupe had weakened, Zhao Fusheng immediately withdrew the Ghost God Token.

Paper Man Zhang, protected by the Ghost Lamp, was affected by the laws of the Ghost Tree and then turned to Zhao Fusheng.

Shadows surged from the ground.

Just as everyone's attention turned to the ground, countless small lanterns suddenly appeared hanging above the ghost tree.

These small lanterns are densely packed together; at a glance, there are at least tens of thousands of them, and each lantern is lit with fire.

"grown ups--"

Meng Po and the others were stunned for a moment, taken aback by the scene before them.

Zhao Fusheng frowned:
"Block the lantern."

Whatever this lantern is, its sudden appearance is definitely not a good omen.

Everyone responded, and just as Meng Po was about to make her move, they suddenly heard a 'tick-tock' sound.

The sound was like water droplets falling to the ground.

Just then, Fan Bisi said:
"Sir, the lantern is dripping blood."

Without his prompting, everyone noticed that a drop of blood had indeed dripped onto the lantern sometime earlier.

The drop of blood quickly spread outwards, instantly turning all the lanterns red.

After the lanterns turned red, the ghost realm was illuminated by a bloody light.

Then, black runes appeared on the surface of the lantern.

Upon seeing the talismanic image, Meng Po cried out:
"A letter home—"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone realized what it was.

This is Shen Yishu's rule.

Once the ghost book was formed, it was imprinted in everyone's eyes through the lantern.

The moment the vengeful ghost runes entered his pupils, they transformed into a deadly attack.

Everyone's mind went blank, their thoughts occupied by a blood-stained ghost book.

In the realm of ghosts, the ghost bride has been resurrected, and everyone is now wearing a pair of blood-red embroidered shoes.

The shoes were all the same size, and the feet of the Fan brothers, Liu Yizhen, Wu Shaochun and others were immediately bent out of shape by the tightness.

As soon as Shen Yishu's vengeful ghost appeared, a terrifying pressure instantly spread throughout the entire area, marking everyone present, whether human or ghost.

The ghost tamer is alright; he can use the ghost's power to slow things down for a while.

The ordinary envoys in the capital were in big trouble.

The two local deities guarding the Imperial Capital's shrine were also dressed in 'red shoes,' and dark curses instantly filled the area around the temple.

Although the two land gods were appointed by Zhao Fusheng and were intimidated by Shen Yishu, thus affecting the power of the temple, their laws did not collapse.

The red shoe prints 'walked' into the ghost temple, and everyone inside the temple put on red shoes.

Yu Lingzhu, who possesses the power to control ghosts, is barely under control.

The moment the others put on their shoes, they couldn't help but start walking.

These people had stiff expressions. As soon as they left the protective area of ​​the ghost temple, countless black wisps of energy emanated from their bodies, instantly annihilating them.

Blood flowed all over the ground, slowly seeping into the earth.

……

The ghost bride wanders through the ghost realm, leaving a trail of footprints wherever she goes.

Where the blood-red light shone, countless footprints suddenly appeared on the ground. These footprints increased at an extremely rapid speed, spreading throughout the entire ghost realm in an instant, and they continued to appear.

If this trend continues, there may even be signs of overlap in the near future.

“My lord, the Shen Yishu here seems different from the marked ghost accomplice.”

Fan Bisi said:

"Perhaps it is the real thing that has been revealed to the world."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Meng Po.

Meng Po's face was extremely pale as she looked around at the ghost brides who appeared and disappeared intermittently, her brows furrowed with sorrow.

If this is Shen Yishu's true form, judging from her fierce ghostly aura and the ghostly domain overlapping with the ghost tree, Shen Yishu's power is at least no weaker than Zang Xiongwu, who was involved in the ghostly calamity in Shangyang County that day—that is to say, a fierce ghost of the wild god level.

Once they step into her laws, even if everyone is protected by the laws, they will probably be in big trouble, not to mention that there are also Paper Man Zhang and Ghost Tree at this time.

"Shen Yishu's laws are related to Sun Shaoyin's laws of reincarnation."

Wu Shaochun also said:

"If the red shoe print gets out of control, it might cause Sun Shaoyin to be reincarnated."

People may fall into the same cycle as the Wu family in Jin County back then.

Meng Po then spoke:

"My lord, let me distract Yi Shu."

"it is good."

Zhao Fusheng nodded.

Without delay, Meng Po squatted down on the ground, and a ghost furnace appeared in front of her.

As the fire slowly rose in the stove, she murmured:

"You were born in the 187th year of the Han Dynasty, at the end of the Chen hour on the sixth day of the eleventh month."

As soon as she spoke, the footprints that had been frequently appearing in the ghost realm immediately stopped increasing in speed.

As the vengeful ghosts wandered aimlessly through the ghost realm, they seemed to be guided by some unseen force, gaining direction as Meng Po continued her rambling speech.

Meng Po lowered her head and did not look around.

"Your father's name is Shen Daotong, and his ancestral home is—"

"Your mother's name is Meng Yuanniang, and she was born in—her ancestral home—"

With each word spoken by Meng Po, a set of bloody footprints became clearly visible.

A hazy blood shadow began to appear on the bloodstain.

Meng Po said:
"Your birth chart is weak; the fortune teller said you won't live past eighteen."

"You were kidnapped by villains at the age of sixteen. Before you left, you carried some medicine candy with you. You later wandered to Xuzhou Prefecture and Wan'an County, where you were rescued by Master Sun of the Sun family."

In the firelight, Meng Po spoke as she took things out of her body and threw them into the ghost furnace:

“You were betrothed to Sun Shaoyin, and died in Shangyang County.”

"Mother is too late; she didn't receive your cry for help."

With each word she spoke, the surrounding blood energy began to thicken.

Then something terrifying happened.

A red mist suddenly surged from the ghost realm of Wuqing County. This red mist covered the sky and the earth, suppressing the influence of the ghost calamity in Wuqing County itself, and even shielding the burning ghost tree.

"My lord, Shen Yishu is too fierce—"

Ding Datong felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing the blood mist.

The world is so big that many things have exceeded his expectations.

He was originally stationed in Changping County, and thought that the case of the ghost fetus he had encountered in his life was already extremely troublesome and dangerous. However, on his way from Changping County to the capital, he encountered great ghostly disasters frequently.

Thanks to Zhao Fusheng, he escaped the ghost case in Shangyang County, but he never expected that he would eventually get caught up in Wuqing County because of his fear of death.

Every ghostly calamity in Wuqing County is extraordinary, and the appearance of the paper figure Zhang has made the already complicated situation even more chaotic.

Ding Datong already regrets his actions.

But he dared not say he was leaving; in fact, even if he wanted to, he couldn't. After uttering these two seemingly complaining words, Ding Datong immediately regretted them.

It is difficult for a person to remain calm when they are in a state of extreme fear. His words at this time are of no use, but his performance is not even as good as Chen Duozi, who joined the team later than him.

It's unlikely that Wan'an County will be able to keep him.

Ding Datong realized this and forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

……

Zhao Fusheng really didn't have time to deal with him.

As Meng Po brewed the soup and prepared the medicine, she recited Shen Yishu's life story, talking about how she was once innocent and lovely, gentle and obedient as a young girl, and mentioning that she died unjustly, revealing her endless longing for her...

These emotions transformed into obsession, trapping the vengeful ghosts wandering aimlessly in the ghost realm.

Countless blood-red figures suddenly appeared on the ground within the Ghost Realm.

A large number of ghostly messengers transformed from blood messengers appeared in the ghost realm, and those who died in the Red Shoes Case transformed into vengeful ghosts, manifesting themselves in this place.

Each vengeful ghost occupies one footprint.

At the very front of the procession of vengeful ghosts, a ghost bride dressed in a wedding robe appeared out of nowhere.

It was a girl of about eighteen years old, with a deathly pale complexion, which, combined with her bright red wedding robe, made her even more terrifying.

It wore a wedding robe that didn't quite match its slender figure. The robe was exquisitely embroidered and adorned with tassels on the shoulders, showing that the person who commissioned the robe back then had put a lot of care into it.

Unfortunately, most of the tassels on one side had been broken off by some strange force, and the beads were scattered somewhere.

The ghost's face was covered with a layer of frost, but through her pale, rock-like skin, one could still see that she had exceptionally beautiful features in life.

Unfortunately, a hideous wound pierced through the female ghost's face.

The wound completely tore the skin off his face, exposing the bone underneath, as if someone had used a knife to cut his head in two.

When Zhang the Paper Doll mentioned Sun Shaoyin's past, although he didn't mention Shen Yishu much, it's not hard to guess from the few words that this woman is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside—back then, her marriage was ruined by villains, and she was sent to the Demon Suppression Division. In a fit of anger, she disfigured herself.

Zang Xiongshan's original intention in establishing the "right of first night" was to find a woman's perfect human skin to trap the Ghost Mother. Once Shen Yishu's face was destroyed, it naturally lost its effect.

The cause of her death remains a mystery.

When everyone saw the appearance of the vengeful ghost, they all felt a sense of unease.

Guided by the instructions, the ghost headed towards Meng Po.

Meng Po did not turn back; she was still focused on brewing the soup.

Zhao Fusheng felt a vague unease.

"We must not let Meng Po lead the ghosts away."

She said:
"It's safest to let Paper Man Zhang do this."

After saying that, she shouted:

"First, extinguish the ghost lamp of Paper Man Zhang and pull him into the game."

Perhaps it was because she was holding the Qiankun Brush, but Zhao Fusheng had a strange sense of foreboding. Her fingers were itchy, and the ghost brush was restless: it was under the control of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable.

Zhao Fusheng felt increasingly uneasy.

She felt a surge of anger and forcefully bent the pen in her hand, intending to break it in two.

But the moment she clenched her fist, she found herself grasping nothing.

The Qiankun Brush somehow broke free from her grasp and appeared in Xu Yu's hand not far away.

Xu Yu's face turned deathly pale as he looked innocently at Zhao Fusheng:
"Fusheng, I didn't mean to—"

The child kept shaking his head.

But at the same time, Ghost Pen seized the opportunity and wrote furiously:
The ghosts went berserk, and someone offered his body to feed them.

……

Xu Yu was stunned.

This is the second prophecy made by the Qiankun Brush. As the current actual wielder of the Ghost Brush, her precognitive abilities are much stronger than Zhao Fusheng's.

A sense of foreboding washed over her. She looked around at the horde of ghosts, tears welling in her eyes.
"No, no—"

The Qiankun Brush continues writing:

During this trip to Wuqing County, one person in Wan'an County is going to die—

"shut up!"

Xu Yu screamed, "I don't want Granny Meng to die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes turned blood red.

Blood gushed from her eyes in an instant:
"I will wipe away the prophecy, I will reverse the curse and change my fate."

As soon as she finished speaking, a large amount of blood mist surged from her body and flowed into the Qiankun Brush.

The child held the pen with both hands and began to scribble randomly on the characters written with the Qiankun Pen.

Large gushes of blood blurred the words that followed, instantly obscuring the character for 'death'.

The line “One person will die in Wan’an County during this trip to Wuqing County” was forcibly erased by Xu Yu.

But she paid a heavy price to erase that line of text; her body was as if devoured by a hungry ghost, and the flesh and blood inside her body turned into red ink, which was then poured into the ghost pen.

In the child's chest cavity, a tattered black pen transformed into her spine, supporting her body.

After erasing a line of text, she could no longer muster the strength and was instead controlled by the ghost pen.

The ghost pen continued writing:
During this trip to Wuqing County, there will be one person from Wan'an County—

Before the next word could be written, the pen was already in someone's hand.

The ghost pen wrote: Subject to the boundless blessings of the Heavenly Venerable.

Gibberish.

Blood was flowing freely.

Zhao Fusheng was furious, but she suppressed her emotions and half-embraced Xu Yu, who was on the verge of being resurrected as a vengeful ghost.
"Ah Yu, snap out of it!"

As she spoke, a flash of red light appeared on her forehead, and a ghostly eye half-opened, turning into a brand that touched the child's forehead.

A crimson mark, as red as blood, was imprinted on the child's forehead. The mark suppressed the power of the evil spirit, and in just a moment, the ghost eye mark was devoured by the laws of the ghost pen, eventually turning into a single blood-red mark that remained on the child's forehead.

Xu Yu's eyes were grayish, and his pupils had lost their liveliness.

But her face was no longer pale and stiff; instead, it was filled with grief.

The moment she heard Zhao Fusheng's voice, she turned her head in a panic, looked around a few times, and then nervously reached out her arms to touch him. Only when she touched Zhao Fusheng's body did she burst into tears, crying out, "Fusheng, Fusheng, I just—"

When Zhao Fusheng saw her like this, his heart sank.

Xu Yu's eyes seemed to be affected by the power of a vengeful ghost, and he could no longer see clearly.

Fortunately, her life was not in danger. As for how to find medical treatment to heal her eyes, that would have to wait until she left Wuqing County.

Zhao Fusheng composed himself and took her hands in his:
"Ah Yu, don't worry, I just saw it."

Xu Yu kept crying, but after hearing what she said, he nodded while hiccuping.

"I...I don't want the pen anymore. It's a bad pen. It...it curses Granny Meng."

Meng Po treated her very well. From the moment they met in the Ghost Realm, she was kind to her in every way, washing her face and wiping her hands. After she joined the Wan'an County team, Meng Po seemed to find the same joy in her and Kuai Manzhou as when she took care of her daughter. She took care of her food, clothing, shelter and transportation without relying on others.

At this moment, Meng Po was cursed by the Qiankun Brush. Even though Xu Yu understood that this was the behavior of a vengeful ghost and that he could not control it, she still felt guilty because the ghost brush belonged to her 'self'.

Upon hearing her words, Zhao Fusheng felt a pang of heartache.

"Okay, you don't need it for now."

She suppressed her discomfort and took the opportunity to comfort the child.

The child was blind at this point and could not see his own situation.

But she could see the changes in the child's body; the ghost pen was almost one with her, indistinguishable from her.

"Give me the pen, and I'll suppress it."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yu immediately nodded:
"it is good."

　Tomorrow is an elder in my family's birthday, so I need to take a day off and won't be updating. Please don't refresh tomorrow.
