After her physical condition has improved recently, she is no longer overworked just by looking at the flowers and grasses. She can do something to take care of her husband within her ability.

After all, my husband worked hard all day long and worked all night long when he came back. She felt a little distressed when she saw it, so she could only try to be considerate in this regard.

"I worked too late last night and fell asleep without paying attention."

Zhou Shize did not explain in detail, but simply found an excuse.

At last, he recalled what the jackal demon said before and added: "Madam, if a jackal appears near the door of the house recently, you don't have to panic, or give it some food. It may be coming to me."

"Jackal?"

The wife looked confused, "Why is a jackal coming to find you, my husband?"

"This..." Zhou Shize was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment but still didn't say the truth. He just smiled and said, "If you have a foreseement in your dream, it may come true..."

"My husband took the things in his dream seriously..." His wife smiled, not taking his words too seriously.

However, it seemed that he was worried. The wolf demon did not come to visit him for three consecutive days. I don’t know if it was delayed or if it was not found.

I thought I could find it, after all, he was the county magistrate of this county town. It should be that something was delayed and I didn’t come.

Zhou Shize thought so, thinking that he could ask about it next time he was in class. After all, a student who is so studious is still worthy of teaching.

After putting aside the ghost town affairs, his daily research on case records in the county town gradually went further.

He also learned more and more about the "mountain god cannibalize people" from some indirect attacks, but he also fell into more mysteries.

This legend was first heard from the temple Zhu in the Shan Temple.

Whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters, there will often be temple blessings that will come forward and proclaim. Someone has caused the mountain god to get angry and must sacrifice to calm the anger...

In addition, a large amount of money is needed to be mixed with it, and there are considerable interests and even more so, there are life worries.

However, although the temple prayer is almost absurd, there are very few people who have truly seen the so-called mountain god. More of them are just passed down by the villagers. Sometimes nursery rhymes about mountain gods can be heard on the streets and alleys. Some of them describe it as a very fierce and cruel superior, while others are completely opposite, saying that the mountain god is a good god, and it is respected by all people.

Over the years, the former gradually occupied the majority. According to his description, although the mountain god was in charge of the fate of this mountain city, he was very cruel. If he was not satisfied, he would send mountain torrents, earthquakes and even droughts to punish the people, and no one dared to neglect him.

Even if the family who was chosen as a sacrifice by the temple blessing could only shed tears and presented the people to him secretly, and did not dare to disobey them at all, for fear of causing the anger of the mountain god and causing harm to their family.

It is said that a family that had attempted to violate the will of the mountain god two years ago was found to be missing a few days later. The body was hung on a tree by the cliff a few miles away, and the appearance was terrible...

Therefore, in this mountain city, the temple of the mountain god temple seems to be much more authoritative than that of a county magistrate. The words he said were like imperial edicts, and no one dared to disobey the slightest!

However, although it was quite true in the rumors, Zhou Shize was more suspicious after reading the ancient books.

As far as he knows, there were no rumors of so-called mountain gods eating people more than ten years ago, and the people's beliefs were more similar to the tribute paid by ordinary temples, and at most the incense was slightly better.

This horrifying rumor seemed to be spread after the new temple Zhu took office.

Therefore, he had some speculation in his mind.

He also took some risks today and went to the mountain temple for incense. This was probably the second time he took the initiative to step into the threshold of the mountain temple since he took office.

However, the place seems ordinary on the outside, but it is a bit luxurious inside. It seems that the money offered by villagers on weekdays is quite large.

This is fine, but more importantly, the temple blessing looks big and round, with a fierce face, and is not as noble and thin as the temple blessings of ordinary temples.

If he didn't look at the temple clothes on him, ordinary people would probably think that he was a bandit and even more so than a temple.

"Isn't this the county magistrate? Why do you come here to visit today?"

The temple monk happily looked at Zhou Shize who was burning incense. He patted his robe and couldn't hide his fat belly. However, his eyes were slightly flickering, as if he was afraid of something.

Zhou Shize glanced at him, continued to put in incense and candles in his hand, and said lightly: "I did not come this time as a county magistrate, but as a believer. I have always heard of the mountain god's experience. Recently, I happened to encounter some confusion. My own thoughts were rare, so I wanted to come and worship, and maybe I could get the answer from the mountain god."

"If it is true, it will naturally be better. If it is sincere, the mountain god will definitely give you the answer." Miao Zhu stroked his beard, nodded, and turned to look at the statue of the mountain god, which was a statue of a divine beast with fangs on his face. He stepped on a ball of wooden clouds under his feet, as if he was flying in the clouds, driving thunder and lightning, and his magic power was soaring to the sky, which was awe-inspiring people.

But I don’t know if it was because of the baptism of wind and rain, some paint fell off in some places, revealing the tiny holes that were vaguely eaten by insects underneath, which was quite incompatible with such a magnificent temple.

Zhou Shize thought to himself: "This temple Zhu is so rich and dresses more gorgeous than ordinary families. How could he have no spare money to repair the statue? This is a bit strange..."

After observing secretly, although he didn't get much, he also faintly confirmed some of his previous guesses in his heart. According to convention, he stuffed a few coins into the merit box and then left.

However, although he left, he did not notice that the temple Zhu behind him was staring at his departure back at this time, and a little hidden darkness flashed in his eyes.

"This person... is a little bad!" He twitched his fingertips, then frowned slightly, murmured in a sound that only he could hear.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at a young man behind him, and whispered: "You go and notify the witch and ask her to come here, and you will say there is something important to discuss!"

The witch is the main person in charge of the practice every time the ceremony is considered to be the partner of this temple Zhu. Her status is similar to a witch. Her position was also first proposed by this temple Zhu. The reason is that she served the mountain god and can better guide the villagers.
