Chapter 112 Suspect
That night, the moonlight was dim and there was no light. Outside the house, the man's somewhat lazy shouting came faintly, mixed with the lowly whispered insects and was not very clear.
I heard that the previous updater seemed to have encountered something strange before, like a terrible ghost. He was frightened and seriously ill and never dared to come out at night again. He even trembled when he spoke. The new updater who succeeded was a little more casual, but he had no choice.
Under the candlelight, Zhou Shize was still at the desk at the desk, carefully reading the clues he had compiled recently, and gradually had a rough guess in his mind.
"The so-called temple blessings are probably very suspicious!"
He used brush and ink to connect several suspicious time points with lines. After discovering that the previous temple Zhu disappeared for some reason, the temple Zhu took office and encouraged money to worship, he also advocated various rituals and sacrifices, which was quite strange.
And the "mountain god eats people" is the first thing this person said.
Although this small county town is already wild, the appearance of this person has caused the people in the city to become more ignorant and degenerate.
If such a vicious cycle continues, I am afraid that this county will be completely destroyed because of this!
Zhou Shize felt a little nervous, and he felt that the matter was difficult and urgently needed to be solved.
As a parent official here, he had to kill such sinners, but now he was unarmed and had no elite soldiers under his rule, not even a single constable. It was not easy to capture or even behead the temple prayer that had been a mighty place here for a long time!
Thinking of the ignorance of the people and the cruelty and viciousness of "mountain gods cannibalize people", Zhou Shize became increasingly anxious.
"I want to solve the problem of the people here, so I must not be known by the temple. If I want to find a helper, I am afraid I cannot find it locally. The man has been entrenched here for a long time. I am an outsider and I cannot tell who is his confidant. It is better to ask for help from outside..."
He quickly made a decision in his heart, took out the letter paper, thought about the words and sentences, and then slowly started to lift the pen and write it down.
He planned to ask his superiors for help, report the situation here truthfully, inform him that the harm was deeply, and let him secretly send troops to help him capture the temple blessing!
After a long time, the letter was written.
He put down his pen, picked up the written letter paper and looked carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he placed it aside for the time being waiting for the ink to dry. Then he turned to the bookcase and planned to look through some previous classics before going to rest.
But before I took two steps, I suddenly felt a little confused and a strong sense of fatigue began to surge into my heart.
"strangeness……"
He staggered two steps, holding his forehead, feeling a little strange.
He stayed up late a lot, why did he actually...
Before he could think about it, his steps became soft and his whole body fell to the ground with his eyelids getting heavier and heavier. The last thought that left in his heart was "Not good..."
It took him a little time to recover his consciousness. In addition to being sore and weak, a familiar man seemed to be yelling in his ears.
"...This dog official disrespects the mountain god, and he actually colluded with the foolish and incompetent court outside to destroy our mountain god temple!...'
"...It's really unforgivable to sin. I have been working in the mountain temple for more than ten years... I know the temper of the mountain god. I'm afraid that before this letter comes out of our city, the mountain god will get angry and bring disaster. At that time, I'm afraid that our entire town will be destroyed!..."
"... Since you all understand the seriousness of this matter, then I don't need to say more about it next!..."
"What more? What's going on?"
Zhou Shize heard these vague words in a daze, and his heart was full of doubts.
Suddenly, a bowl of bone-broken cold water poured on his face. He was shocked and suddenly woke up!
But when he opened his eyes, the scene in front of him shocked him.
I saw that it was about the depths of a dense forest, and the night was empty and quiet. At this moment, I was actually tied to a pillar and could not move. There were also a pile of dry firewood under my feet, looking like I was about to ignite.
Looking forward, standing was the temple prayer who was sneering at him. He was holding a burning torch and an empty water bowl in his hand. The letter paper that Zhou Shize had not had time to send was already wet with water.
On his side was an old woman with messy black hair covering her face, wearing clothes of the ancient customs of this town, red and white, with strange patterns symbolizing evil spirits and gods on it. It was a bit worn and a bit weird, and her eyes were also fierce and vicious. At this moment, she was holding a strange-looking grass man and a few slender iron needles in her hand, like a vicious curse, and she wanted to kill someone.
It's the witch.
There were about dozens of men, women, old or young people around the platform, looking at this place with a timid and fearful look, as if afraid of causing disaster for themselves, but vaguely, you could also see a bit of admiration and madness in their eyes.
These are all crazy believers who have been completely confused!
"You... don't do anything nonsense!"
Zhou Shize is not a fool. At this moment, Kuang can see clearly at first glance, and he even understands his extremely dangerous situation!
His pupils did not shrink slightly, and he tried to dissuade these already crazy people with a hoarse voice. "I am the imperial court official! If I die here, you will not have a good result!"
He never expected that this temple Zhu would discover in advance that he was investigating and trying to ask for help, which directly caused such a disaster!
"Hmph, the imperial court has appointed officials! There are four or five dog officials who died at my hands, and you are not bad!"
The temple prayer sneered and waved his hand and said, "Can you be the dog official be bigger than our great mountain god? With the mountain god protecting us, even thousands of troops will not hurt us at all!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhou Shize laughed in anger and retorted, "From the beginning to the end, there was no mountain god who could eat people. It was just an illusion deliberately forged by you and the robbers! It was to make all the people surrender to your power, what a shameless person!"
"You dog official still want to bewitch people's hearts?"
