The new carriage and horses made the whole family happy.

If it is just a new set of courtyards, it can't fully represent anything, then now, the arrival of a high-end and high-grade carriage seems to mean that the Zhou family has suddenly returned to its peak state.

Chow was particularly excited.

Needless to say, the next morning, Zhou Cai's family also took a new car and a horse with great interest to go to Baoguo Temple to burn incense.

She didn't want Zhou Ang to accompany her, but Zhou Ang happened to read a bunch of "tables" in the "Book of Han", and felt quite bored, so she simply accompanied her mother and sister out to send money to Baoguo Temple.

The "table" may be particularly useful for historians and people who are engaged in research, and it is also twice the result with half the effort for those who need to deliberately check something, but if you really want to "read" it, it is really boring, and it is far less interesting than the story-like chapters like this biography - Zhou Ang's historical knowledge in his previous life was limited to history textbooks in junior high and high schools, and some simple extracurricular readings, so he didn't even know whether these tables should be used to "read", but he felt that he would "read" anyway It doesn't hurt to do that.

Sure enough, I went to Baoguo Temple, burned incense, added oil, and donated merits, and spent a lot of money.

But Zhou Cai's pious happiness of getting his wish fulfilled, and his little sister Zhou Zihe also had a lot of fun, thinking about it, Zhou Ang also felt that it was worth it - it's just that he would subconsciously look at the monks in the temple, and subconsciously want to find something wrong with them, so that he could find an opportunity to get the money back in the future.

The funny thing is that he went around with his mother and sister, burned incense and came out, and saw that he was going home at noon, but when he was about to leave the temple gate, he was stopped by a little novice.

He was still a little displeased, thinking that these monks still wanted to let him donate money again, but he was taken aside by the little novice, but a huge monk was full of flattery and thanked and patted the horse, and repeatedly said that Zhou Ang had worked hard to run such a trip, and in the end, he actually dragged out a large silver ingot of twenty-five taels and offered it with both hands.

After finally going out and getting into the carriage, Zhou Ang thought in his heart, he came over for a run, and actually earned more than twenty-one taels of silver.

At noon, he returned to the yamen, and told Fang Jun about this matter during the dinner, which made Fang Jun laugh.

Wei Ci next to him carefully explained to Zhou Ang: "There is a group of monks in Baoguo Temple, who are specially responsible for remembering people, and I can't say that these monks are added together, and they are more complete than the three classes of officials of the county government plus together." They are waiting at the gates of Baoguo Temple on weekdays, or for the monk who knows the guest, or for the sweeping monk, when they see the important person, they will inform the great monk, and when they see the 'fat sheep', they must pass it on in time so as not to miss it. ”

"The last time there was an accident in Baoguo Temple, I remember that Zixiu also went, and it should have been remembered by that group of monks, how dare they provoke you to be unhappy? I just ask you to turn a blind eye to things and don't trouble them!"

Du Yi said again: "It's not unusual, a few martial artists in our yamen, as well as a few team leaders, are all listed, as long as you go, you don't dare to take advantage of it, but you have money to give it with both hands!

Fang Jun said with a smile: "The county officials are not as good as the current management. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Wei Ci also added: "We people don't want to go there when we are idle, and we don't have to get those silver money, but Guo Yuan and a few of them must go every month, and it has become a rule for a long time! Oh, by the way...... Haha, Jinhyun, why don't you speak?"

Zhao Zhong was eating with his head down, and there was still some hangover red blood in his eyes, but when he heard this, he raised his head and grinned, "What do you say? I don't have money to drink, so I'll go to Baoguo Temple to worship the Buddha!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Zhou Ang couldn't help but feel quite amazed, and sighed: "The holy land of Buddhism is really a good deal!"

............

In recent days, since Chen Wu, the director of Taizhu Temple, came to "popularize" the soul dementorship and the Lin family's affairs, the atmosphere in the entire Zhu Yamen in Lingzhou County has actually been very tense.

Basically, everyone is very busy, and a little bit of noodles, in fact, the entire Lingzhou City is not obvious on the surface, and it is also very nervous behind the scenes, and almost everyone's informants and the dark lines of each square have already taken action.

But it's still that situation, the busier everyone is, the more idle Zhou Ang will be.

Although he has officially passed the review of Chen Wu, at least for now, Zhou Ang is already a definite "own person", but his official identity is an ordinary civil servant after all, just a sword and pen official.

He has limited knowledge of the city as a whole, almost no control, and no one at his disposal to provide him with an informant.

So, everyone else was busy chattering, observing, investigating, and trying to find clues to the Lin family or spiritualism, but he came over every day at noon to have a meal, and then he made a cup of tea in a down-to-earth manner, brought it to the archives, prepared a towel to wipe his sweat, and sat there to read the archives for an afternoon.

During this period, after Lu Jin joined the company, he began to be taken by Guo Yuan, and he had to go out every day to participate in various actions in their team.

............

It's hot in the archives.

The weather is already hot, and it rains every two days, and it can only be cool for a while and a half, and the archives room only has a small window for ventilation and lighting, and if you look at the archives for half a day in it, of course, your ears will be hot and sweaty - even if there is an ice bucket under your feet, it is better than nothing.

What's more, the archives themselves are irritating and displeasing to watch.

Murder, sacrifice, sorcery, false reasoning......

And so on and so forth.

But as long as there is nothing else, Zhou Ang still insists on reading history every morning and reading archives in the afternoon.

This is the best way he can think of at this stage to increase his knowledge and obtain "information" as soon as possible.

That afternoon, he sat in the archives again, with an ice bucket between his legs under the bookcase, and looked carefully at a file from nine years ago, when suddenly someone pushed the door in.

When Zhou Ang looked up, he saw Du Yi and Chen Chuan walking in front and back.

Chen Pan saw that Zhou Ang was there, and called "big brother" seriously.

Du Yi smiled: "I know you're here, but there are some things involved, I have to take a few materials and explain them to Chen Xuan." We'll take the materials and go, without bothering you. ”

Zhou Ang knew that this was part of Du Yi's "taking students", so he smiled and nodded, and when he was about to speak, his heart suddenly moved, and he smiled: "It's okay." If there are no secrets involved, it's okay for you to talk about it here, and it just so happens that these files are irritating to see people, so I'll listen to a few words, and I should be distracted. If I don't want to hear it, just see for yourself, you don't affect me. ”

Du Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't have to pick it up and put it back and forth." ”

So Zhou Ang generously kicked the ice bucket out of his feet and put it on the side of the bookcase, and then ignored them, pretending to bow his head and continue to look at his file.

Over there, Du Yi found a file he wanted, opened it, found the place, and pointed it out to Chen, "Look, this is a case from four years ago, take a look." ”

So Chen flipped over and began to look at the file.

After a while, the two began to discuss the case in a low voice.

Coincidentally, Zhou Ang just read the file of that case two days ago, and he still remembers it vividly.

This case is really similar to the story written in "Liao Zhai", because this is a case of "a pot of flowers" - the protagonist of the case is a pot of jasmine.

Locals like jasmine, many families have potted plants or garden plants, this family surnamed Guo also has this preference, but coincidentally, among the jasmine planted by this family, there is one that I don't know what luck has gone, and I have become a demon.

In this small archive room, all kinds of strange cases are recorded, involving I don't know how many monsters, flower demons, tree demons, and potted demons, which are not too rare things, and they are not worth mentioning.

But this case is bizarre, this jasmine demon spent several years, killed three families before and after, and swallowed a lot of lustful people during the period, but it was not found until it was sued by the county government and she killed four government officials, and was finally arrested by the county Zhu Yamen.

According to her own admission, by the time she was arrested, she had been a demon for nearly ten years.

For ten years, she has been living in Lingzhou City, and she has not been discovered, all because she has already brought a very special demon method when she became a demon-Mind Confusion Technique.

It is different from Zhao Zhong's ecstasy, which makes people fall into chaos and unconsciously confess everything they know, and it is also different from Wang Guo's soul technique, which directly ingests people's souls and makes the other party their puppets, and every move is like a puppet.

This trick is specially used to confuse people's minds, so that people unconsciously fall into madness, and they are willing to be born and die for the person they are obsessed with.

Well, this spell is actually quite suitable for the cultivation of stars in modern urban society.

Ah, by the way, it's also suitable for the little masters of Gong Dou!

In short, after becoming a monster, this jasmine demon almost instinctively began to exert its abilities, first bewitched a small house in this family, ate it directly, and changed into a small house again, and then watched a couple's many sexual affairs with relish, and began to sincerely like this sport.

In the next family, the women were eaten one after another, and the men were squeezed dry and swallowed up.

According to her own later confession, she was very careful and scared at that time, so it took her three years to completely "digest" such a family, including the master and servants, with a total of twelve people.
