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

What the waiter said just now was indeed not like a lie, which made him suddenly have some guesses. Perhaps there is really a legendary mountain god here that is blessing the lives of these mountain villagers?

Therefore, this is why this question is so.

Zhou Shize didn't expect someone to ask this strange question, and couldn't help looking at him curiously. Seeing that it didn't look like a joke, he thought for a moment and smiled slightly meaningfully and said, "If you think there is, then ghosts and gods will naturally exist. What exactly depends on your own thoughts."

It was a mysterious thing in itself. Xu Zhiyan did not ask any further questions. After thanking Zhou Shize, he turned around and walked slowly along the street and lowered his head to ponder.

Suddenly, I heard many lively sounds coming in front of me. Looking up, I saw two strong yamen runners carrying both ends of a thick wooden stick, tied with a rope between the corpse of an old fox as tall as an adult, and a half-left fox tail.

The blood seemed to have not dried up yet, and you could tell at a glance that it was a fox that had just died.

People around them would occasionally chase after them and exclaim.

"A fox of such a big one should be a spirit!"

"It's not just a spirit! Didn't Lord Zhou say that these two are fox demons, and they are specifically used to harm people! Thanks to Lord Shan God's attack to death, otherwise we will suffer sooner or later! Go and see the family of Wang, isn't her man almost lost half his life!"

"Hiss...it's true! Lord Shan God is indeed amazing!"

While everyone was chatting, Xu Zhiyan also stood there in a daze, watching the two yamen runners walking past them with their bodies carrying their bodies, with a little surprised look.

He suddenly felt that perhaps this was the most suitable time to use the two letters given to him by Brother Du Bai!

...

Although the prefect Yang and his men came here only criticized him, Zhou Shize could not have been angry and allowed them to live in the inn with grievance. He sent someone to clear out the backyard of the county government and leave it for several people to stay overnight.

After all, he is the local host and the person who entertains his superiors, and these etiquettes are still necessary.

And it is precisely because of this that he did not go back to his small villa tonight and stayed in the county government.

During the dinner, Yang Magistrate talked to him a few more words. 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 his affairs.

"It's just a pity that Mr. Xu seems to have a lot of objections." Prefect Yang shook his head secretly. If the teacher disagreed, he wouldn't be able to say anything more.

So he just hinted through some words that the old man who never looked at him at the banquet was a big shot. If he could please him, his future career might be better.

Zhou Shize's heart was already like a mirror, and he was not happy with flattery, and he would not do anything against his original intention. Therefore, he could only pretend not to see Yang's hint, which made him feel even more regretful.

When it was late at night, Xu Zhiyan was pacing back and forth in the room hesitantly, sometimes looking up at the cold moonlight outside the window, sometimes shaking his head secretly.

After thinking about this for a long time, he finally made up his mind to go back to the table and put a letter that Du Bai gave him and the tips on the table.

"Whether it is true or false, you have to try it out."

He has experienced many disappointments, so he is so worried that he will be in vain this time.

After calming down again, he untied the bag and poured out the rolled paper slip inside. Without peeking at the contents inside, he directly placed it on the flame of the oil lamp, allowing it to slowly start burning, and finally turned into a ball of ashes, falling to the ground, leaving some stains.

"It's burned..."

He held his breath and then, after a while, there was still no movement. The night outside the window was peaceful, and the sound of insects from time to time proved that nothing had happened. The little confidence that he had finally risen slowly disappeared, and a little bit of decay was revealed in his face.

"Did you really not find the so-called ghosts and gods in this life?"

However, at this moment, the originally opened window suddenly closed automatically, and a little cold breath began to flow into the room, as if there were an invisible cold hand touching his body, which made him shudder subconsciously.

At the same time, heavy footsteps from far to near began to sound in the yard outside the door, "click" and "click" one after another, as if several people were walking unevenly, but it seemed so harsh and weird in the night that should have been quiet.

"This is……"

Xu Zhiyan was a little stunned. At this moment, the footsteps stopped near the door, as if a few malicious people were standing at the door, waiting for him to open the door.

A chill suddenly appeared on his back, and he suddenly realized that he might have encountered something amazing!

...

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

A vague voice like a ghost came from outside the door, with a bit of sinister sneer: "It's Ghost Writing..."

"That's right...this taste is definitely right! And the breath of a mortal..."

It seemed like there were many people outside the door whispering, and some could be heard clearly, but most of the others were just buzzing sounds, which made people subconsciously feel irritable.

"who?!"

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

Just as his voice came out, the slightly noisy whispers outside suddenly stopped, as if the thief was found and fled in a hurry.

"Leave?"

However, before he could relax his heart, a cold wind suddenly seemed to pass through his face, causing a cold pain on his cheeks. What made him even more frightened was that the oil lamp next to him was instantly extinguished under the wind, leaving only the house covered by darkness.

And he suddenly found that in this environment where he could not see his fingers, there seemed to be several gentle footsteps around him. It seemed that many people were walking back and forth around him, staring at him with their eyes tightly. Thinking that the door had never been opened, he couldn't help but feel cold on his back!

"Is this just a mortal?"

"It's good for a mortal. But how dare a mortal use ghost text?"

"Why don't we share him and eat it...it looks like it tastes good!"

The hoarse whispers that came from my ears made Xu Zhiyan even more frightened.
