Chapter 20: Reputation Gradually Rising
In addition to these, the old man's own experiences also allowed Lin Feng to understand the world more deeply.
"Ghost Suppression Division, Ghost-Driving families, Hundred Craftsmen of Heaven..."
The forces that mastered ghosts that Lin Feng now knew were mainly divided into these three categories.
The Ghost Suppression Division was easy to explain; it was a special government office under the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, mastering rich resources and a huge force.
Various Ghost-Driving families were more like large and small powerful clans entrenched on the Great Xia Dynasty; different regions and different families represented different inheritances.
Finally, there was the inheritance of the Hundred Craftsmen of Heaven known to the old man. According to the information he knew, the so-called Hundred Craftsmen was an imaginary number.
However, the true descendants of the Hundred Craftsmen of Heaven undoubtedly possessed extremely powerful strength and abilities.
For example, the candle-making craftsman who could use fierce ghost materials to make corpse-oil candles; the incense-making craftsman who could make Corpse-Suppressing Incense, Soul-Guiding Incense, and Ghost-Raising Incense; the blacksmith who could use ghosts and ghost materials to make weapons...
Or it could be said that the Hundred Craftsmen of Heaven were the foundation for the world to stabilize, because every skill they possessed represented humanity's research, restraint, and use of ghosts.
Lin Feng recalled all the ghosts around him, and then quietly returned to his room.
"Woo-woo~"
In the darkness, Wangcai barked at Lin Feng in a low voice, its tail wagging back and forth, full of fawning meaning.
"Don't bark, sleep obediently!"
Lin Feng patted its dog head, and then he also lay down on the short couch.
"The water in this world is very deep, very deep. According to the other party's experience, in some places, the ghost disaster has completely lost control, completely turning some places into dead lands and desperate lands!"
"Above Small Ghosts, Great Ghosts, Fierce Ghosts, and Vicious Ghosts, there are terrifying Disaster Ghosts and Tribulation Ghosts. Once these two types of ghosts appear, unless a saint takes action, no one can resolve such a ghost disaster..."
Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes; the experiences and information obtained tonight were so much that it was difficult for him to digest them for a while.
On the other side, inside the Ghost Suppression Division office, Bai Yuanlong was carefully reporting what he had seen and heard during this mission to the man sitting quietly in the dark room.
"The target should be someone from the Gongshu family. This crime was committed to search for a corpse. The strength was close to a Grandmaster, mastering two abilities: ghost fire and controlling puppets."
"The high-level expert who appeared midway called himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He seems to have obtained that corpse, possesses strength exceeding that of an ordinary Grandmaster, and masters multiple ghost abilities. I saw a total of two ghosts..."
Bai Yuanlong told the man in front of him everything he had seen from beginning to end.
"So you think this 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven' should be active in Luohe City, has no hostility toward our Ghost Suppression Division, and belongs to the category of objects that can be won over?"
After Bai Yuanlong finished his report, the man suddenly spoke up and asked him.
"Yes!"
"At that time, if the other party had hostility toward us, we definitely would not have been his match!"
Bai Yuanlong knew the situation at that time very well; they had already been surrounded by two ghost forces. If the other party wanted to deal with them, he was afraid they wouldn't have been able to return at all.
And the other party also cleaned up the corpses in the village when he left; such behavior was not something a person who was hostile to them would do.
"Investigate, I want to know where this Great Sage Equaling Heaven popped out from!"
Suddenly, the man opened his eyes. They were a pair of scarlet eyeballs, and the pupils inside the eyeballs were vertical pupils like those of a wild beast, and there was also terrifying scarlet light flowing.
Following his order, a dense sound of mechanical rotation immediately came from behind him.
"Yes!"
Soon, a metal box appeared beside his seat. Opening the metal box revealed a note.
It clearly recorded the incident of Lin Feng's first appearance in Chen Family Village, but what made him dissatisfied was that there was no other information besides this.
"Are there no relevant rumors from the government offices in other places?"
After reading this note, the man slowly closed his eyes, and then asked the pitch-black room again.
"There are no relevant rumors."
However, someone soon reported to him.
"It seems to be a fake identity."
He was not surprised by this, but he just couldn't figure out what such a person was doing in Luohe City.
"Record this incident into the confidential file, add it to the Earth-level personnel list, and notify me immediately for all matters related to him in the future!"
"Understood!"
Finally, he gave such an order, which could be considered as drawing an imperfect period to this incident.
"You did well in this incident; each person can receive three Ghost Suppression Talismans. In addition, you can go to the Ghost Prison for a short stay of three days."
"Thank you, My Lord!"
Hearing this person's words, Bai Yuanlong was overjoyed and thanked the other party on the spot.
Then he bowed and exited the room, and the entire room fell into dimness again.
"Great Sage Equaling Heaven, huh? I'm afraid this Luohe City is also going to become lively..."
Early the next morning, Lin Feng slowly woke up from his dream.
Wangcai, who was lying on the ground under the short couch, moved its ears and immediately climbed to the edge of the short couch, sticking out its tongue at him.
"Clack, clack, clack."
Lin Feng moved his body, and his bones made a dense crisp sound. Although he had already mastered three ghosts, he was still an ordinary person in essence.
Well, an ordinary person who knew some martial arts and had about ten or so years of internal energy in his body.
In this world, whether it was from the people of the Ghost Suppression Division or other corpses he had buried, there was no relevant content about immortals or gods.
However, there were Taoist priests and monks, but whether they mastered those ethereal cultivation methods was still an unknown.
"Creak."
Opening the door, what came into view was a scene of thick fog. Thinking about it carefully, it was already late autumn.
"Phew~ the weather is starting to turn cold. After finishing the work today, I should spend some time and energy to tidy up this house properly."
Lin Feng took a deep breath of this pure, pollution-free cold air, and at the same time, he had a new plan in his mind.
As a transmigrator, Lin Feng was not interested in many things. Under the premise of ensuring his own safety, he preferred to enjoy a quiet life.
Digging holes and burying people when he had nothing to do, training the dog when he was bored, and using the carpentry skills he mastered to make some furniture—he was also willing to do these things.
"Cough, cough."
Suddenly, a coughing sound reached Lin Feng's ears. Old Quezi in the next room slowly opened the door.
"Sigh, this person is old after all."
Old Quezi was leaning on a crutch, looking weak and sickly. He didn't know if he had caught a cold last night or what was going on, but his complexion looked extremely poor.
"Are you alright?"
Among the many skills Lin Feng mastered, there were a few superficial medical skills. At this moment, he could see that Old Quezi should have caught a cold.
"Cough, cough, cough, today I'm afraid you'll have to light the fire and cook by yourself. Old man, I can't, cough, cough, cough."
"Alright, alright, alright, I understand!"
"You rest first. Later, I'll go to the mountain to get some herbs. I guarantee that after you drink them, you'll be jumping around!"
Lin Feng patted his shoulder, and then turned around and started to get busy. ===== CHAPTER 21 =====
