At this moment, deep in the remote mountains, Qingyang City has also fallen into the night.

The candle flame flickered slightly, and the county commander Zhou Shize sat at the desk, sometimes frowning and sometimes slowly unfolding, holding a pen and writing on the page, looking thoughtful.

Hearing the sound of the wind blowing outside the window from time to time, his wife gently walked to the window and closed the window, and then glanced at Xianggong, who was still pondering in the case, smiled with a little helplessness, and quietly put on a layer of cloth to avoid catching a cold, and then she went back to bed alone to rest.

In recent days, since she had eaten the miraculous pill that Xianggong got out of nowhere, her body has improved a lot, and she usually couldn't walk on the ground for a long time, but now she goes out to take care of the flowers and plants in the flower bed, and she doesn't feel half tired of watering and removing insects.

This naturally made both husband and wife happy, but unintentionally, she found that her husband's behavior on weekdays was a little strange.

For example, in recent days, I often stay at my desk late at night and don't want to rest, I don't know what I'm writing. She once wanted to see it, but he couldn't see it because he covered it, and she became more and more curious. It's just that she has always respected her husband and didn't force anything, she believes that if a suitable opportunity arises one day, he will take the initiative to show her.

When all the surrounding sounds subsided, only the chirping of insects on a summer night could be heard from time to time outside the window, and it seemed more and more silent at this time.

Zhou Shize slowly put down the pen for a long time, and when he looked back, he found that his wife had been sleeping soundly in bed for a long time, and he couldn't help but show a helpless wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

If it weren't for the fact that this matter involved unpredictable ghosts and gods, and was told that he must not leak this matter to other unrelated people, he actually did not want to hide it from his wife.

He sighed and thought about it again and again.

After all, thanks to the gift of the ghost king, his wife's body has improved a lot, and the two will not be separated by yin and yang...... He should also do his best to fulfill his promise to the ghost king.

Suddenly, the lights flickered slightly, and at the same time, the sound of insects outside seemed to disappear at the same time, and the whole world was completely silent.

Zhou Shize's heart moved, and then he heard three knocks on the door outside the house, followed by a respectful female voice.

"Lord Zhou, the time has come, please wait with me on the road in time, so as not to delay the time for class."

He hurriedly got up, but suddenly found that his body was light, as if he had broken away from some shackles, and looked down in a trance, only to find that his soul had left his body, and at this moment his body was sleeping peacefully on the table.

He was sure in his heart, and walked towards the door.

There has been a sedan chair waiting outside the door for a long time at this time, and there are four one-meter-tall rat spirits with low eyebrows standing on both sides, which seem to be the sedan chair bearers, and in the front are standing two beautiful women dressed in palace clothes, each holding a lantern with a candle in their hands, looking at him with a smile.

He couldn't tell what kind of monsters they were for a while, he only felt that their faces were quite beautiful, and he didn't dare to look at them more.

A line of strange monsters stood in the courtyard, and a faint mist filled the surroundings at some point, and the smoke was swirling, making people unable to see the distance clearly, and it became more and more ghostly.

The scene is so weird and surprising, Zhou Shize is also quite surprised, such a scene is probably difficult for ordinary people to see once in their lives, if they are a little less courageous, I am afraid they will be scared to faint.

Rao knew at this time that these ghosts did not have any ill will towards him, and even begged him, but he still had some fear in his heart.

But with the same experience as before, he was not too scared to walk.

Forced to calm down, Zhou Shize slowly sat on the sedan chair. After he sat down, he felt the sedan chair begin to slowly soar up, flying in the direction of the ghost town.

This time he opened some of the door curtains with a little curiosity, and saw at a glance that he was flying high in the air at this time, and the town under his feet seemed to be much smaller at the moment, and he could vaguely see the watchmen wandering in the small alleys like ants, and he could also see the figures flickering in the sparse lights that had not yet been extinguished......

He resisted the horror in his heart and turned to look ahead.

The four rat spirits were holding a sedan chair, and under their feet they stepped on a cloud like cotton, which was really like an immortal flying through the clouds, which was quite miraculous. The two women in palace clothes flew at the front with lanterns to lead the way, and a white cloud also loomed under their feet.

As if sensing the sight, one of the women turned to look at him and smiled.

His face turned red, he let go of his hand and lowered the curtain, and then looked at his nose and nose and his heart, and did not look any further.

After a long time, the sedan chair began to fall slowly, and after a while, I saw that the curtain was lifted by a woman, and said respectfully: "Lord Zhou, you have arrived in the ghost town, you can come down." ”

Zhou Shize nodded slightly, and after getting off the sedan chair, he found that he had arrived in front of a tall house, which was five stories high, which was rare.

It's just that it's a city full of ghosts, so it's not surprising.

"Is this the class here?" He asked.

"Yes." The woman in the palace costume said with a smile as she guided him through a door into the house.

Only as he entered, he could see what appeared to be a long line on the other side of the house in the distance, although it was not a human but a strange ghost.

"What are they doing here?"

"That's where the students come into the classroom." The palace woman explained carefully.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhou Shize felt a little strange, after all, this was completely different from the ghosts he had learned from folk tales, and there were so many monsters who loved to learn? It's such a long queue!

"There's something I want to ask, you monsters don't need to take the imperial examination, why do you still have so many monsters to take the initiative to learn?"

The woman in the palace costume chuckled: "My lord doesn't know, the king has issued an order, all the residents of the city who have not yet cultivated for a hundred years must know how to read, and this lesson should be taken." In some positions, being able to read and write is the most basic requirement. Therefore, many ghosts who have cultivated for more than a hundred years have naturally come to study in order to be able to obtain these positions. ”

In addition, although other subjects are all charged, only this subject for learning the knowledge of the human race is free, and there are a little more natural people.

"I see!"

Zhou Shize nodded slightly, and looked at the team of the long dragon with a little more emotion.

"The ghosts are still so studious, but our human race itself does not seek to be motivated, and we are willing to fall, how sad it is......"

He thought of the absurd scenes in the small county town under his rule, everyone was so indulgent and unwilling to learn, and the scene of the ghosts and studious people in front of him formed such a stark contrast, how ironic!

"It's a pity that I can't do anything about it!"

He let out a long sigh, and there seemed to be a faint layer of sorrow in his heart.
