The Qingyang City in front of him was a little strange from head to toe, and the atmosphere of the people here was even different from other cities, which made him deeply puzzled.

What Fang Cai Xiaoyi's words did not sound like a lie, so he suddenly had some guesses, maybe there is really a legendary mountain god in this place who is blessing the lives of these mountain people?

That's why there is such a question.

Zhou Shize didn't expect someone to ask this strange question, and couldn't help but look at him curiously, seeing that it really didn't look like a joke, so he thought about it for a while, and smiled slightly meaningfully: "If you think there is, then ghosts and gods naturally exist." Exactly how it is depends on your own thoughts. ”

It is a mysterious thing in itself, Xu Zhiyan didn't ask any more questions, and after thanking Zhou Shize, he turned around and walked slowly along the street and lowered his head in contemplation.

Suddenly, he heard a lot of lively sounds coming from the front of him, and when he looked up, he saw two strong servants carrying the ends of a thick wooden stick, and in the middle of it was tied with a rope the corpse of an old fox as tall as an adult, and a fox tail that was half cut off.

Its blood seems to have not dried up, and at a glance it is a fox that has just died.

From time to time, people around them will chase after each other and let out exclamations.

"Such a big fox, I guess it's time to become a sperm!"

"Don't just become a fine! Didn't Lord Zhou say that these two are fox demons, and they specialize in harming people! Thanks to the Mountain God's intervention, we would have all suffered sooner or later! You go and see the Wang family, isn't her man almost lost half his life! ”

"Shhh...... What a thing! Lord Yamagami is really powerful! ”

While everyone was chatting, Xu Zhiyan also stood in place in a daze, watching the two officials walk in front of him carrying the corpses, his eyes were a little surprised.

He suddenly had a feeling in his heart that maybe this was the most suitable time to use the two letters that Brother Du Bai Du handed over to him!

……

Although the people from Governor Yang's mansion only criticized this time, it was impossible for Zhou Shize to be angry and let them live in the inn so aggrieved, so he sent someone to clear a few guest rooms in the backyard of the county government and leave a few people to stay overnight.

After all, he is a local host, and he is also entertaining his superiors, so these etiquettes must still be there.

And it is precisely because of this that he did not go back to live in his small courtyard tonight, and stayed in the county office.

During the dinner, Governor Yang chatted with him again, and it seemed that in addition to being dissatisfied with the affairs of ghosts and gods, he was still very satisfied with Zhou Shize's other aspects of affairs.

"It's just a pity, Xu Lao seems to have a lot of opinions." Yang Zhifu shook his head secretly, if the teacher disagreed, then he couldn't say anything more.

only hinted at Zhou Shize through some words, the old man who never looked at him at the banquet was a big man, if he could please him, maybe his future career would be better.

Zhou Shize's heart is already like a mirror, and he doesn't like flattery, and he won't go against his heart to do things, so he can only pretend not to see the hints of Yang Zhifu, which makes him feel a pity.

In the dead of night, Xu Zhiyan was pacing back and forth in the room with some hesitation, sometimes looking up at the cold moonlight outside the window, and sometimes shaking his head secretly.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made up his mind, and returned to the table to put a letter handed to him by Du Bai and the bag on the table.

"Whether it's true or not, you have to try it to find out."

He has experienced many disappointments, which is why he is so worried about whether this time will also be in vain.

Calming down again, he untied the bag, poured out the rolled note, and without peeking at its contents, he placed it on the flame of the oil lamp, and let it slowly begin to burn, until it turned into a cloud of ashes and fell to the ground, leaving a little stain.

"It's burned out......"

He held his breath, and then after a long time there was still no movement, the night outside the window was peaceful, and the occasional sound of insects proved that nothing had happened, and the little confidence that he had finally raised slowly disappeared, and his face could not help but show a little decadence.

"Is it true that I can't find the location of the so-called ghosts and gods in this life?"

However, at this moment, the window that had been opened suddenly closed automatically without wind, and at the same time, a somewhat cold aura began to flow in the room, as if a pair of invisible cold hands were touching his body, making him shiver subconsciously.

At the same time, the courtyard outside the door began to sound heavy footsteps from far and near, "popping" and "snapping", one after another, as if several people were moving in uneven steps, but in the dead of night, it seemed so harsh and weird.

"It's ......"

Xu Zhiyan was a little stunned, and at this moment, the footsteps stopped near the door, as if there were a few ill-intentioned people standing at the door at this moment, waiting for him to open the door.

A chill ran down his back, and he suddenly realized that something terrible might have happened to him!

……

"This breath, this pure yin qi ......"

There was a faint ghost-like ethereal voice outside the door, with a somewhat gloomy sneer: "It's a ghost......

"That's right...... This one definitely tastes right! And the breath of mortals......"

It seems that there are many people outside the door whispering, some of which are easy to hear, but most of the others are only buzzing, which makes people subconsciously irritable.

"Who?!"

Xu Zhiyan was calm, but his body subconsciously took a step back, and he had a bad premonition in his heart for no reason.

Just as his voice came out, the slightly noisy whispering outside suddenly stopped, as if the thief had been spotted and fled in a hurry.

"Gone?"

However, before he could relax in his heart, suddenly a cold wind seemed to pass across his face, blowing a cold pain in his cheeks, and what made him even more frightened was that the oil lamp next to him was instantly extinguished under the blowing of the wind, leaving only the house shrouded in darkness.

And he also suddenly found that in this environment where he couldn't see his fingers, there seemed to be several gentle footsteps around him, and it seemed that many people were walking back and forth around him, staring at him with a pair of eyes, thinking that the door had never been opened at all, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back!

"It seems like it's just a mortal?"

"It's a mortal good. But how dare a mortal use ghost script? ”

"Why don't we give him a share of it...... Looks like it tastes good! ”

The hoarse whispering sound that came from his ears intermittently made Xu Zhiyan even more frightened.
