Chapter 306: Lord of the Land

Views:

Zhou Ze stood there without moving. He was not frightened by this scene. Boss Zhou even stretched out his finger and tentatively put it into the mouth of this face.

Open his lips,

There are teeth inside, but not just teeth.

There is also compacted mud and sand.

This is a face filled with mud and sand, delicate and resolute, with a frozen expression, like a "stone sculpture artwork" standing here.

“Oh my god!”

The old Taoist just glanced at the boss and saw the face in the bark. He shuddered with fear. Then he saw the boss was teasing the little mouth of the face with his fingers.

The old Taoist was so frightened that he trembled again.

Zhang Yanfeng took a deep breath, walked over, and said, suppressing his inner discomfort:

"This is one of the ones who died in the tomb at the beginning."

"oh."

Zhou Ze responded.

Nod.

Things are getting a bit serious.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Boss Zhou just reached out his hand to stir it to see what was inside as if nothing had happened. In fact, it was just because Zhou Ze’s brain froze and he didn’t think carefully before doing anything.

Now he was thinking about it.

Then,

It’s terrifying when you think about it.

The little Lolita chose to treat Zhou Ze as a sucker and "destroy him after use" at the beginning because she felt that Zhou Ze had a plan in mind.

In fact, if it weren’t for the incident in Rongcheng that night, Zhou Ze would have had no chance to turn the tables.

Therefore, after seeing this scene, Zhou Ze began to understand that even he was not qualified to handle this matter.

Xu Qinglang once specially found some old strange stories novels for Zhou Ze. Among them, the more famous ones include "Soushen Ji", "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and "Yuewei Caotang Notes", as well as some works by other authors who are not very famous in the literary world.

Zhou Ze remembered this passage, which seemed to be written by a Ming Dynasty author:

"Those who work for the land should enjoy the incense of the local water and soil, and protect the local water and soil for peace;

However, if the land is not granted, it will be filled with mountain spirits, wild monsters, lonely ghosts and wild ghosts;

Anyone who dares to insult,

Use grass and wood as ropes and place them in front of the temple to warn those who come after you. "

It is not clear what the author of this book did in the Ming Dynasty, what his specific occupation was, or even whether he was a man or a woman. After all, writing novels was considered unpopular in the social atmosphere at that time.

For example, no one knows who Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, the writer of "Jin Ping Mei", is.

It's just like the original author of "Bai Jie's Story", once he reveals his identity, what awaits him may be sent to the police station for spreading Silver Gray information.

Xu Qinglang collected a lot of books of this type for Zhou Ze, but Zhou Ze rarely finished reading all of them. However, he finished reading this one because it was very detailed and had illustrations!

There are illustrations on almost every page, and Boss Zhou can look at the illustrations just like he did when he was a child reading picture books, without feeling tired.

The "Land God" written by the original author is the old man who would appear when Monkey King stomped his feet on the ground in "Journey to the West".

According to the original author, what he meant was that minor gods like the land god were not actually granted titles by the Heavenly Court, because their official positions were too low and they were not as good as ordinary people. They were a bit like the auxiliary police nowadays, who had low salaries, no official positions, and still had to do the hardest and most tiring grassroots work.

It is gradually becoming more formal now. In the past, there were many local ruffians in the joint defense teams in many places.

According to the author, the land gods are mountain spirits, wild monsters and lonely ghosts. They can usually enjoy incense and bless the local weather, but their nature is hard to change. Once someone offends them, they will immediately retaliate by killing the person and tying the person up in front of their temples with grass and wood as ropes to warn future people not to commit the same offense again.

Zhou Ze remembered the illustration that the author had drawn with a brush in the book. It was very funny, just like the kids in children's programs who liked to perform in tree costumes.

And now,

Zhou Ze saw the “real stuff”.

Zhou Ze stretched out his hand and pointed to another tree at the same level as this tree.

The old Taoist went over and stretched out his hand to wipe the bark, but he used too little force. Moreover, the old Taoist had already guessed that something might be scraped out, so he was a little panicked and did not dare to use more strength.

Instead, Zhang Yanfeng came up directly and started scratching with his key. Soon, a face emerged.

"It's someone else."

Zhang Yanfeng confirmed.

The two people who died in the tomb appeared in the tree.

Zhou Ze stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

These six idiots,

Would you really be so stupid as to dig up the grave of the God of Land

This way of seeking death is no less than square dancing on the highway. If you don’t die, who will

Take a deep breath.

Zhou Ze walked to the young man's ghost, moved him behind him, then slowly bent down and reached out to dig in the mud on the ground.

Under a thin layer of mud is a broken stele. It is hard to see what was written on it, giving people an extremely ancient feeling.

“Huff…Huff…Huff…Huff…”

In the woods,

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew.

The images of the land gods in "Journey to the West" are all very kind and amiable, but that is because they are facing Sun Wukong.

Just like most leaders are humble and friendly to those above them, but when it comes to you...

Zhou Ze slowly stood up and stopped digging.

"What's wrong? Is the tomb chamber right down there?" Zhang Yanfeng asked.

"Come back here and don't disturb the boss."

The old Taoist also realized something was wrong, so he grabbed Zhang Yanfeng and pulled him to his side, preventing him from moving forward.

"Lord of the Land, they have offended you, they deserve to die. Five of the six people are dead now, and the remaining one has become idiot. Can you calm down now?"

Think about it from another perspective.

If your family’s ancestral grave, oh no, your grave, was dug up, would you think of picking up a knife and fighting those tomb robbers

In the United States, if someone breaks into a private house, you can shoot him without any problem. Of course, this is a grave, but this grave has an owner.

What happened to the priest who stole Zhou Ze's ashes

Zhou Ze made him stay in the bookstore with grass growing over his head.

If it was a revengeful ghost, Zhou Ze wouldn't mind getting rid of it and sending it to hell, but since it might be the angry land god, Boss Zhou could only say hello here.

Hello, I am hello, everyone, just treat it as a neighbor visiting.

Or maybe the neighboring unit is organizing a social event;

The little girl once said that although Tongcheng is a small place, it is definitely not a place that can be kept by a few ghost officials. Before Madam Bai went to hell, she also knew Madam Bai, but she had always kept her distance from her.

Just then,

The old Taoist's body suddenly trembled, and white foam began to come out of his mouth as if he had epilepsy. The old Taoist was also a smart man, and he knew something was wrong, so he immediately reached into his crotch, took out a piece of ancestral talisman paper, and stuck it on his forehead.

In an instant,

I feel refreshed, everything I eat tastes delicious, and I can climb to the fifth floor without any effort.

"Damn it, how dare you come to me!"

The old Taoist was possessed before. When he was at Jiangjun Mountain, facing the unusual movements of the three sets of warrior armor, he finally relied on Cao Ding's heroic spirit to possess the old Taoist to deal with it.

Therefore, the old Taoist has experience and knows what that feeling just now means.

The old Taoist is fine.

But Zhang Yanfeng, who had just been concerned about the old Taoist priest, also started shaking, as if he had Parkinson's disease, but the shaking only lasted for a short while and then disappeared.

Zhang Yanfeng was still standing there.

"Hey!"

The old Taoist immediately jumped away, staring at Zhang Yanfeng vigilantly.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Yanfeng was a little confused.

"Hey, are you okay too?" The old Taoist scratched his head in confusion.

"He is a public servant and a good policeman. He is upright. Although he is not wearing a police uniform, the national emblem is always on his head. You can't get on top of him."

Zhou Ze said.

This seemed to be explaining to the Taoist priest and Zhang Yanfeng.

It also seems like it is being spoken to the god of land.

The other party probably wants to find someone to take advantage of.

Chat,

Talk to me.

Pretend to be cool,

Just say "hello" twice into the microphone and give a speech or something.

But the old Taoist has talisman paper passed down from his ancestors to protect him, and Zhang Yanfeng is a people's policeman.

Just like what was introduced in the book, the God of Land was nothing more than a small official who was a mountain spirit and wild monster who got in as a vain official. After all, he couldn't have a good temper if he could kill people at will, so he wanted to possess these two people.

Disaster.

But then,

Zhou Ze only felt that the wind around him began to gather around him.

A mysterious aura began to attack Zhou Ze.

This is,

Planning to do it yourself

Zhou Ze spread his hands.

Didn't resist.

He just said: "The only one who is qualified to communicate with you here is me. Now that you have possessed me, who can talk to you?"

At this time, the old Taoist suddenly pointed at Zhang Yanfeng and said, "Maybe he wants to talk to the government."

“… …” Zhou Ze.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger.

The breath was getting closer and closer.

"I am a ghost messenger." Zhou Ze emphasized.

"You are just a dog slave from the underworld, how dare you call yourself an official!"

An old and mischievous voice came from somewhere. Neither the old Taoist nor Zhang Yanfeng heard it. Only Zhou Ze himself heard it.

It seems that

This god of land is determined to possess his own body.

Moreover, the guess that the Taoist just made might not necessarily be nonsense.

In ancient times, local officials of the imperial court would organize the repair of local land temples, city god temples and other buildings.

This time, the God of Land was invaded by six tomb robbers.

If he really wants to talk to the government to help him rebuild a temple so that he can enjoy the incense more conveniently, it does make sense.

Plus the tone of his evaluation of himself,

It was obvious that he did not take his position as a lowly official in the underworld seriously.

I don't want to talk to myself, chat over a glass of wine, or anything like that.

He just wanted to use his physical body for negotiation.

Zhou Ze let out a long sigh.

He still didn't resist, because he felt that he didn't need to resist at all.

He just said calmly:

"Master, if you get on my body, something bad will happen."

Because in my body,

There is already a guy with a bad temper living here.

If you wake him up,

Things wouldn't be so wonderful.

But the old man has a bad temper.

When people get old, they tend to become stubborn.

Obviously he didn't listen to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze felt a chill running down his spine.

“Hiss…”

It was as if something had been thrust in.

Own,

quilt,

force,

Entered...
