At the gate of the city, Xu Lao was a little surprised to find that Zhou Shize was walking out under the leadership of a maid, and the two happened to meet each other.

"Old Xu?! Why are you here? Zhou Shize, who had just finished teaching and came out, also didn't expect to meet his acquaintances here, was suddenly a little stunned, looking incredulous.

After all, during the day yesterday, this Xu Lao still looked like he was sneering at the ghosts and gods, and he was also extremely disgusted with him who claimed to be the messenger of the mountain god, and he didn't want to look at him at all. No matter how you think about it, you can't connect this old Xu with the guests of the ghost town!

Could it be that Xu Lao is just acting during the day, and wants to surprise himself at night?

Then this surprise is indeed a little scary......

Zhou Shize couldn't help but think with a strange expression.

After all, things were so bizarre that he was a little cranky.

"So you're also from this ghost town......

Xu Lao himself is also an extremely intelligent person, and when he saw Zhou Shize's appearance at the moment and thought of what he had heard during the day, he suddenly had a little guess and couldn't help but smile bitterly

sighed: "The old man has offended a lot during the day, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

He knew that he was wrong, and he didn't deliberately put on an identity frame to force words, but generously admitted his mistake. After all, the identity before life is only in front of the body, and it cannot be brought to the world after death, at least here, the two are equal. And no matter how you look at it, the other party entered this ghost town before himself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a senior.

Instead of waiting for the other party to point out his fault, it is better to admit it generously earlier, and you can also have some affection.

Zhou Shize didn't figure out what the situation was for a while, but replied modestly: "No need to ......"

Immediately, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "I just don't know why you are here, Old Xu?" Is it a new teacher? ”

After all, when it comes to learning, this Xu Lao is much better than himself, and he is a real learned person.

After Xu Lao signaled to Lin Cheng on the side and received an affirmative answer, he didn't hide much, and told the other party about his affairs, including the fact that he was going to come here to become a ghost official after his death.

"There is such a thing!"

Zhou Shize couldn't help but be surprised, but he immediately had more respect for Xu Lao, and those dissatisfaction with Xu during the day disappeared.

After all, this old man was talented during his lifetime, and he became an official in the court, and he was deeply respected by the emperor and benefited the people. Even after his death, he was recognized by the ghost king, and if he wanted to recruit him as a ghost official, he was still a figure with a head and a face.

Either of these two is extremely difficult for ordinary people, but Xu Lao has done it all, which must be because his own morality is far superior to ordinary people.

And the corresponding Xu Lao also has a new understanding of this county official who was very mediocre and immoral during the day.

It turns out that there is really the blessing of the so-called "mountain god", so that the mountain people here can live and work in peace and contentment, and it is no wonder that those people believe in the "mountain god" so much! And Zhou Shize, who is indeed entrusted by the mountain god, is equivalent to a messenger, but he does not use his divine power to fool the people, but uses his own official hat to bring a better life to the people.

In this way, his conjecture during the day is so narrow, it is tantamount to spending the belly of a gentleman with a villain's heart, which makes him quite ashamed.

After such a conversation, it was not too early, and the two of them also stopped talking, planning to wait until they went back to sit down and have a good chat.

……

After the rooster crowed three times, Xu Lao slowly woke up from his dream, and saw the familiar room in front of him in a trance, as if it was a world away.

"Ghost town...... Ghost Officer......"

He frowned slightly as he got up, his eyes a little puzzled.

"Was that a dream or did it really happen?"

He couldn't tell the difference for a while.

At this moment, there was a sudden and slightly urgent knock on the door, which made him come back to his senses immediately.

"Come in!"

The door opened, but it was his nephew Xu Zhiyan who entered.

Xu Zhiyan was worried for a long time last night and couldn't sleep, not only worried about whether something would happen to his uncle, but also worried about whether his uncle's stubborn temper would not agree to such a good opportunity.

When I saw that the uncle in the house was indeed very good-looking, and even his complexion was better than yesterday, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Zhiyan, why are you so flustered?" Elder Xu asked in a deep voice.

"Uncle, did any vision happen yesterday?" Only then did Xu Zhiyan realize his gaffe, restrained his expression, and asked cautiously.

"Vision?"

Xu Lao was stunned for a moment, and thought of some things: "The old man did have a strange dream yesterday...... I dreamed of a lot of ghosts, and said that I would be asked to be an official after I passed away......"

His voice couldn't help but pause, and even now when he thinks about it, he has a strange illusion, the scenes are clearly visible, as if firmly imprinted in his mind, lingering, and completely different from the previous dreams that will gradually fade away at dawn.

Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but look happy when he heard this, knowing that Lin Cheng didn't deceive himself, so he didn't mean to hide it, and told his uncle everything about the matter, so as not to make the other party suspicious and suspicious.

"That's what happened!"

Xu Lao was even more surprised when he learned about it, especially after learning that it was Du Bai who recommended him, even with his identity and status, he couldn't help but be in awe of him: "That Du Bai is really a stranger!" With the body of a mortal, he can actually pass through ghosts and gods, and a letter can also recommend the old man as a ghost official, which shows that he has miraculous powers! It's no wonder that this person is reluctant to be an official, if he has such a carefree ability, how can he be willing to be bound by his career? ”

Xu Zhiyan also deeply believes this, and is also extremely grateful to Du Bai.

If it weren't for the other party, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the opportunity to witness the existence of the real ghosts and gods in this world, and my uncle might not have this opportunity to become a ghost official after his uncle died, no matter what, the other party is his great benefactor!

"Uncle, my nephew plans to wait for this time to go back, so he will make a special trip to Fucheng to help Brother Du and help the development of the Su family in return, what do you think?" He couldn't help but suggest.

"Hmm." Xu Lao stroked his beard lightly and nodded slightly, "Although this person has no intention of trying, his character and ability are far beyond ordinary people, and it is worth your effort to make friends." After the old man passes away, these connections left behind are the foundation for you to continue to stand! ”

"Yes!"

Xu Zhiyan nodded a little excitedly. His interest in Du Bai has surpassed his previous interest in studying ghosts and gods, after all, even those ghosts have to respect each other, so what should be Brother Du's true identity?

It's a bit unpredictable.
