Magistrate Ma and others cannot see the battle between the ferocious evil ghost and the twisted shadow.
Because this is a collision between spiritual forces.
At most, they could only feel an inexplicable burst of evil energy from Zhou You.
"Is this a method used by evil cultivators?"
Zhou You's face darkened.
A pure demon would naturally not rely on this evil statue as a carrier to cause trouble.
This method is more similar to the evil cultivator he met in Linjiang City.
It's a pity that when he met himself, the evil thoughts hidden in the evil ghost statue had no power to fight back in front of the demonic thoughts transformed by the Demon-Sealing Sword Sutra, and were directly swallowed up.
"County Magistrate Zeng was probably killed by this statue..."
Zhou You said calmly.
I am fine facing the attack from this statue, but it does not mean that ordinary people can ignore it.
On the contrary, if ordinary people encounter this evil statue, they will definitely die miserably.
Zeng Feng is an example.
"What?" Hearing this, Magistrate Ma was so frightened that he retreated behind the door, and then asked in a low voice: "Why did this ghost appear under the locust tree?"
"Someone should be trying to harm Magistrate Zeng..." Zhou You said calmly.
This evil statue had been buried under the roots of a tree for so many days. Everyone else in the county government was fine, except Zeng Feng.
This is definitely not a coincidence.
Moreover, even after Zeng Feng died, he was not poached, which shows that the other party is still waiting for the next target.
If Zhou You guessed correctly, he should be the newly appointed county magistrate.
It's just that the news of Magistrate Ma's appointment has not yet been announced, so the other party may not know about it yet.
If two consecutive county magistrates die mysteriously, Huai County may really be in chaos.
Of course, he would not tell Magistrate Ma about this guess.
Otherwise, if the fat man knew that there was an evil cultivator who wanted to harm him, he would probably just quit.
"Who on earth has such a deep hatred and hatred that he would use such a ghost thing to harm Magistrate Zeng?" Magistrate Ma asked in confusion.
"I don't know...further investigation is needed." The real cause of the death has been found, but the identity of the real murderer cannot be determined.
"Maybe it's him!" Pang Patou suddenly remembered something at this time and whispered.
"Who?" Zhou You asked.
"A Taoist priest." Pang Baotou looked serious.
.......
County government, prison.
As a place where criminals are detained, the sanitary conditions can be imagined.
The air was filled with an extremely unpleasant smell.
In this rather sealed environment, various odors such as sweat, filthy excrement, athlete's foot and other odors are mixed together, and no one has cleaned them for a long time, reaching an intolerable level.
However, Pang Captou came in with Zhou You, Magistrate Ma and others.
As soon as he smelled this smell, Magistrate Ma almost vomited out and could only cover his mouth and nose with clothes.
"This Taoist priest was captured by Magistrate Zeng in the Heishui Mountains more than ten miles south of the city a few days before his death."
"At that time, in Heishui Mountain, local villagers discovered a large tomb from the former dynasty. Magistrate Zeng personally took people there to check the situation. As a result, the Taoist priest just happened to get out of the entrance of the tomb."
"This man was so sneaky that he was identified as a tomb robber by Magistrate Zeng on the spot and was captured and taken back to the county jail."
"If anyone would use such evil means to harm Magistrate Zeng, I think this guy must be highly suspicious."
Pang Captou led the way and introduced the situation.
After listening to this, Zhou You also felt that this Taoist priest was a bit suspicious.
After all, the profession of Taoist priests originally has a layer of mystery, and it is easy for people to associate it with weird and weird things.
But if he was really an evil cultivator, how could he be caught by a group of government officials?
With the questions in my mind, I wandered around and came to a cell.
An extremely fat figure came into view.
This man's figure was almost the same as Magistrate Ma's, and even a loose Taoist robe could not cover his fat body.
At this moment, he was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, like a big white pig.
"Is it him?" Zhou You looked suspicious.
Pang Captou also sneered. He actually felt that this Taoist priest did not look like the real murderer, but the new boss was watching from behind, so he naturally wanted to show off, so he came up with this guess.
"Wu Liang, get up quickly." Pang Patou called loudly.
Unscrupulous? When I hear this name, my mind is filled with black lines.
"Which little brat woke up your Taoist master?"
Pang Patou screamed many times before the fat Taoist priest woke up.
Strangely enough, the prisoners in other cells were unkempt and had indifferent expressions.
On the contrary, the fat Taoist priest had a rosy complexion and was full of energy.
When he saw Pang Captou, he said impatiently: "Pang Captou, so many days have passed, when will you let me out?"
"I have told you many times that I am not a tomb robber, but a little Taoist priest who has lost his way in the world. It was too dark that night, and I was in such a hurry that I didn't even notice that there was a big pit under my feet, so I threw it into it.
"
"But when I crawled out, you insisted on calling me a tomb robber!"
"This is an eternal injustice!!!"
The fat Taoist priest became more and more excited as he talked, spitting like stars.
Pang Captou snorted coldly: "Wu Liang, this is Mr. Zhou from the Demon Slayer Department. He will ask you something later. If you can cooperate, I can consider letting you out."
The skill that a public servant must master is, of course, drawing a pie.
"Devil?!" Hearing these three words, the fat Taoist priest was also startled. "Why are you looking for me?"
There is a saying in the Dayin Dynasty.
It's called "I'd rather provoke the King of Hell than see the devil!"
Because where there are demon slayers, it means extremely dangerous.
Those who are approached by demon slayers almost never end well.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. Just answer honestly later!" Pang Captou said coldly.
At this time, Taoist Wu Liang finally noticed Zhou You standing behind Pang Baotou, his small mung bean eyes narrowed slightly.
"This little brother has a resolute face and a stern aura, like a lion descending from the clouds. He must be the Lord of the Demon Slayer Department."
Zhou You did not deny it: "Your Excellency, you have a good eye."
In fact, it is not difficult to guess that he is a demon slayer.
Pang Captou is definitely not.
Magistrate Ma and Master Tang looked like they were fighting each other.
After excluding everyone, only Zhou You is left.
If this Taoist priest didn't even have this kind of eyesight, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so fat and in vain.
"Have you ever seen this thing?" Zhou You thought for a moment and took out the evil ghost statue.
He just gave it a try with the mentality of a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
"This is an evil weapon!" The fat Taoist priest exclaimed when he saw the evil ghost statue.
"Do you know him?" Zhou You raised his eyebrows.
He does indeed lack information about evil cultivators.
"I believe that adults also know the existence of evil cultivators. These people worship evil gods and demons in exchange for power, and evil weapons are made by evil cultivators using the filthy power given by evil gods."
"This is a very ominous thing."
Speaking of this, the fat Taoist's tone was a little frightened.
