Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

"Tread, step, step..."

The sound of neat footsteps came from far and near, but there was no other sound.

Su Xiyan stood still, watching the strange but orderly team gradually advance.They wore gray clothes, patched and carried guns of different standards, and they dressed up as motley troops, but they had high spirits.

He was no different from the energetic pacesetters he had seen on TV, energetic and handsome.The only difference is that there is an obvious black air lingering on their faces, they are a team of ghosts.

A group of dead army souls.

With a loose waist, Su Xiyan and Cui Zhao were let down by the big snake, and the three of them stood quietly, watching them line up and clean up the formation.

"Stand still, let's go!"

"Look right, look forward!"

"Disband and eat!"

After the disbandment order was issued, the whole team slowly dispersed, and no one came forward to talk to Su Xiyan and the others, as if these two living people did not exist.They are very kind to the big snake, they will say hello when they pass by, and they will reach out to touch its huge head and praise him for being energetic recently.

The big snake spat out letters, rubbed affectionately at the soldiers passing by, and sometimes stretched out its tail to play with them on purpose, which seemed to be a very close relationship.

When the conductor came over, it rushed over excitedly, rubbing its big head cautiously against the other party.

"Grandpa Qiu, I'm bringing my friends back for dinner."

The size of the big snake is too huge. After it rushed over, it completely covered the man. Su Xiyan couldn't see anything. He could only show a gentle smile when he heard him mentioning it, and then he quickly lay down on the side. Cui Zhao, who was on the ground, was helped up.

"Xiaoxiao has a new friend? That's a good relationship. Today I'll give you an extra pork knuckle. Your friends and the others..."

The next words were swallowed by him. The conductor was a middle-aged man with a square face and a very resolute look. No matter how he looked at it, he was not ready to be called a grandfather, but the big snake yelled it very smoothly, and he himself responded the same way.

When facing the big snake, he slowed down a little, but when facing Su Xiyan, his eyes became sharp after he glanced twice.

"Xiaoxiao brought back two amazing friends this time, and a ghost came to visit. I don't know what's going on?"

Su Xiyan licked her somewhat chapped lips, and looked straightly at the several cauldrons that were beginning to emit food at the edge of the open space.

"Come for dinner."

command:……?

The expression on the conductor's face was blank for a moment, he turned his head to look at the big snake who nodded happily, and then turned his eyes to the two strange looking ghosts.

"Didn't you come to let us reincarnate?"

"No," Su Xiyan shook Cui Zhao as if displaying a mascot, "We are not responsible for reincarnation."

"Oh, that's fine."

The conductor nodded, and in the next second tied a sky blue apron with pink peggy on himself.

"Do you want to eat pork knuckle? This is the first time I'm here. I'll serve one for each of you. Do you want the sauce or the spicy one?"

Do pork knuckles have different tastes?

Su Xiyan doubted whether he could eat one by himself, so he ordered two different flavors for him and Cui Zhao.It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, when he heard that the two of them could share one of them, those envious eyes were enough for him to be happy.

The pork knuckle that Orochi chanted about as delicious is indeed delicious. The skin is so well-cooked, and the special seasoning is evenly flavored. I don’t know how they do it.There is actually a strong negative spiritual power in this meat, it is fat but not greasy, the sauce is rich, and the taste is first-class.

Su Xiyan was eating, but her eyes couldn't help but drift away.

Sitting in this bright red shed, looking at the steep and straight cliff on the edge of the open space, he felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it.Surrounded by these straight-to-the-sky peaks, covered by the black mist, it is difficult to see the distant room, but why is such a big hole in front of their meal crazily emitting yin?

The terrain here is somewhat like a small basin, with a depression in the middle and floating on all sides.Su Xiyan sat on the edge of the depression and saw the thick black smoke entangled and diffused outwards, but after rising to a certain position, they seemed to be blocked by something, and they were suppressed again in a daze.

It was obvious that a group of people were eating and drinking, but none of them moved. Everyone sat quietly in their seats, and the vitality that belonged to the food slowly floated up and merged into their souls.

This meal was dead silent and terrifying.

What Su Xiyan was more concerned about was the big sunken pit. He always felt that there was an extremely terrifying monster inside, trying every means to rush out of it.There are no formation runes around, how was he suppressed inside?

Su Xiyan's palms felt a little cold, and even the most delicious food became tasteless in his mouth at this moment. He was eating absent-mindedly, his eyes wandering back and forth on the big pit. There seems to be something wrong with the arrangement of the square stone pillars?

He didn't realize that as time went by, the ghosts who had finished eating the food in front of them began to turn their heads to look at him one by one, their eyes were gloomy, as if they were beating with will-o'-the-wisp.

"Don't look," a warm palm suddenly covered the back of his hand, Su Xiyan lowered her head in surprise, the person leaning on his arms had lazily opened her eyes.

"Yanyan, I'm hungry."

"Cui Zhao, here..."

"I know," Cui Zhao interrupted him, reaching out to pick up the pork knuckle in front of him. "Let's talk about it after we have something to say. If we want to work, we must be full."

What he said seemed to have some meaning, Su Xiyan didn't ask too much, and the two of them calmly ate the two pork knuckles under the watchful eyes of the ghosts.

After eating the warm food, the cold feeling that had been lingering around him for a long time subconsciously faded away.Su Xiyan paused a little, feeling a warm air moving in his abdomen.Looking down, they were in an open space, they were obviously on a large bronze altar.

Others' tables were placed under the altar, but theirs was placed on top of the altar. He couldn't hang it up. He always felt that when he was eating, he had the feeling of overlooking the mountains.

After rubbing the soles of the feet and the ground of the altar with special patterns, the word "sacrifice" flashed in Su Xiyan's mind, and he almost jumped up and carried Cui Zhao on his shoulders and ran away.It was Cui Zhao who held his hand and pressed him down.

"Don't worry, they don't mean to harm us."

"There are too many illusionary restrictions in this tomb. We can easily be confused by accident. Only by eating their yin food can we temporarily break it. But if you eat their food, you have to stay and do a favor. It doesn't take much time. of."

Cui Zhao pointed to the big dark pit and explained it to Su Xiyan.

"Below here should be a large tomb. The terrain was yin, and the yang energy was exhausted. Later, someone died and built a mass grave on this tomb. The flesh and bones of thousands of people were superimposed on it, let alone the tomb below. Master, I can't even bear the bones and scum that was buried with me, and I have raised such a thing after raising it."

"Is it a zombie?"

"According to the conventional method, I'm afraid the one raised would be bloody, but the one lying below was unwilling. It happened that there was a battlefield nearby at that time. When he died, he moved the army souls who did not want to leave here to guard the tomb for him."

Su Xiyan suddenly realized that there are mass graves superimposed on the tomb, no wonder the yin and evil here are so heavy.Generally speaking, this rare state is very easy to breed terrifying monsters. Mostly, the owner of the tomb couldn't bear the temptation of blood and devoured all the flesh and blood on it.

In just a few hundred years, a blood-zomb comparable to a drought can be raised. If he is fully formed, it will be a catastrophe in the world.Su Xiyan has seen some information, that during the chaotic years of the Republic of China, because of too many killings, he once accidentally fed a horrible zombie.

When the zombie was born, all the villages hundreds of miles away from him were slaughtered, and even the shadow of animals did not exist, and they all became his dinner.

Later, the heads of several major sects led the elders to fill in with their lives, desperately suppressing that zombie.

Just looking at the big pit in front of him, one can guess that the scale of the mass grave back then was not small. If it was true that all zombies were fed, those sect masters would cry to death.Fortunately, the original owner of the tomb seemed to be a strange thing. Facing such a big meal, he was not moved at all, but directly recruited a team of army souls to suppress it.

Under the circumstances that these grievances and grievances cannot be dissipated, the person who came up with this method is simply a genius.

Hearing his praise, Cui Zhao blinked, with a smile that couldn't help but appear on his face.

"If he hears you praise him so much, he will probably be so happy that he can't find the north. Then he will come up cheeky and ask you to treat him to dinner."

Huh?

Su Xiyan was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face gradually became weird.

"This is Meng Zhanlu's tomb?"

"That's right," Cui Zhao nodded, "Which other zombie would make his tomb so shabby?"

"After all, the suppression of the army soul is a temporary solution, and it cannot cure the root cause. Every once in a while, he needs to come over by himself to suppress the evil spirit in that pit. I used to drink with him hundreds of years ago. If you learn how to make pork knuckles, the cooked dishes will be unpalatable."

"Have you ever not recognized it when you were up there?"

Cui Zhao sighed helplessly: "Didn't I never expect that this poor ghost would hide two everlasting lamps?"

A house with bare walls is the true portrayal of Meng Zhanlu!

Su Xiyan: ...What you said seems quite reasonable.

Cui Zhao led Su Xiyan to the edge of the mass grave, and the light of the flashlight barely illuminated some places through the thick black fog.The pale bones were stacked together. After hundreds of years of baptism, many bones were broken, leaving only some relatively strong bones that still maintained their original appearance.

The flashlight slid over, and what was basically illuminated were the leg bones, hand bones, vertebrae, and those skulls with empty eye sockets.They lie quietly in this deep pit, their bones are intertwined, and their resentment is endless.

Su Xiyan accidentally stepped on two broken stones, and the small black stones rolled and fell from above.In an instant, like a drop of cold water falling into boiling oil, the entire pit exploded.

Countless skeletons moved, and they opened and closed their mouths that had become bones, roaring silently.

"Something's wrong," Su Xiyan tugged at Cui Zhao's sleeve, staring at a certain place in the deep pit, "Why is there an undecomposed corpse there?"
