I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

The little girl threw a grape into the man's mouth. After he swallowed it whole, he finally calmed down a little.

"Tangtang heard you shouting for help, what happened?"

The young man looked at Tangtang fearfully, and after a long while he asked tremblingly, "Where is the yellow fox? Did you see a yellow fox just now?"

"No, no, you're the only one kicking your legs."

After looking around in shock for a long time, the young man slowly stood up.

"It's so scary! I came to this mountain to dig bamboo shoots, but I met a talking yellow fox." When he said this, the man named Jiang You couldn't help but shiver.

"What did it say? It scared you like this." Tangtang asked curiously.

"The yellow-skinned guy stood up with his two hind legs, staring at me!"

Jiang You swallowed his saliva: "It slowly stretched out its two paws and asked - Who do you think I look like?"

"..."

Eh, is that all?

The little girl scratched her head, wondering why he was so scared.

"It's scary! The yellow fox can talk."

Jiang You said in an emphasizing tone: "He really spoke, I heard it clearly!"

"Well, how do you answer it?"

"I said it looks like Lao Wang next door"

....................

The girl didn't find it strange that the yellow-skinned man was talking, but she found Jiang You's answer very strange.

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, there's no special reason." Jiang You said with a bitter face: "The guy named Wang next door stares at my wife all day long, and he said that unconsciously."

Well, it's not nice to stare at people all the time. It's quite rude.

"Anyway, everything is fine now. Let's go back to the village." Tangtang said with a smile.

"Yeah"

Jiang You nodded quickly, and while walking down the mountain he started chatting with this very courageous girl.

After asking, we learned that the little girl's name was Tangtang and she was traveling to Zhao State.

To be honest, Jiang You didn't quite believe that someone this young would travel to Zhao State alone.

But, the girl didn't question his even more outrageous words just now, so it's not appropriate to express her doubts at this time.

"It's fate that we meet. Why don't you stay at my house tonight?"

Jiang You extended an invitation to Tangtang: "My wife likes children very much. She will definitely be very happy if you come to my house."

"Thank you!"

The little girl happily stuffed a few grapes into his mouth: "Eat grapes, they are very sweet."

Go, go, go-

Oh, it’s really sweet!

Just as Jiang You said, his wife especially likes children.

She also heard that it was Tangtang's timely appearance that scared away the wild animals on the mountain, so she specially stewed an old hen for her guest to express her gratitude.

.....................

The next day, Jiang You got up early and went to several nearby villages to inquire about Tangtang.

He still didn't quite believe Tangtang's claim that she came to Zhao State for a trip, and thought the little girl was a runaway child from the neighborhood.

“I haven’t heard of any children running away from home.”

“The children in our village are all fine.”

Jiang Youcai continued to inquire until noon, and then returned home tired and thirsty.

As soon as he got home, he found that his wife looked unwell.

"Wang's eyes are not honest again?" Jiang You asked angrily.

"No, our chickens were stolen."

The woman said distressedly, "Three of them are missing. Tangtang and I searched all over the village this morning but couldn't find them. They must have been stolen."

"It must be the guy named Wang who stole our chickens!" Jiang You blurted out.

"No, his chickens were also stolen."

The woman shook her head and said, "I looked next door when I passed by. The chicken coop was empty. Not a single chicken was left."

Kill them all at once?

Jiang You felt much more relieved. He snorted and said, "Wang must be going crazy looking for him, right?"

"I haven't seen him today. Maybe he hasn't discovered this yet."

Hearing this, Jiang You stopped eating and quickly ran to the next room.

"Hey, why are you going?"

"Tell him there's been a thief. You and Tangtang eat first. I'll be back soon!"

With a little empathy, but more of a sense of schadenfreude, Jiang You knocked on his neighbor's door.

A strong smell of blood wafted out from the door, and a wretched man with chicken feathers on his mouth walked out.

"You, do you have something to say and knock on the door?" Old Wang asked with a hunched back.

This guy, what’s wrong with this guy!

Jiang You had a stiff face and told the story about how his chicken coop was empty.

"The chicken is delicious. I can't stop eating it." Lao Wang licked his fingers and said with a chuckle.

....................

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over.

The yellow fox I met in the mountains really became my neighbor.

"Sit down and eat!"

Seeing her husband pacing back and forth in the room, muttering something, the woman couldn't help but shout angrily.

"Ugh"

Jiang You had no appetite for food now. He imitated Lao Wang's behavior just now, hunched his back and clasped his hands in front of his chest.

"Tangtang, what do you think I look like now?" Jiang You asked the little girl nervously.

Tangtang drank a mouthful of soup, looked at the man and said, "An old man with a cane?"

"No, it looks like a yellow-skinned person! I shouldn't have said that yesterday. Lao Wang is possessed by a yellow-skinned person now!"

When Jiang You said this, his wife suddenly became anxious.

It’s not that she was anxious about the yellow-skinned man, she thought her husband was possessed by an evil spirit.

"I'm not possessed! Wait, I'll prove it to you."

Jiang You ran to his own chicken coop and grabbed a chicken. After slaughtering it, he took out the bloody internal organs and threw them in front of his neighbor's door.

"What are you doing?"

"Shh——" Jiang You quickly pushed his wife behind a tree and hid her.

At this time, the little girl ran out curiously. She looked around and found a tree to hide under.

Soon, the neighbor's door opened quietly.

The man leaned half of his body out with saliva flowing, grabbed the internal organs on the ground and stuffed them into his mouth.

Chapter 237: Iron Prison Divine Detective

"That day I was afraid you would worry, so I didn't tell you some things."

After returning home, Jiang You told his wife about his encounter with the yellow fox in the mountains.

Combined with the strange behavior of the neighbors, the theory that he was possessed by a yellow fox became very credible.

Seeing that the two of them looked worried, Tangtang immediately told them not to worry and that she would protect them and their chickens.

"Tangtang, we appreciate your kindness."

Jiang You forced a smile, obviously not taking the little girl's words to heart.

He continued, "But if you encounter something like this, it's better to go to the town in time to ask for help from the Iron Prison Divine Detective."

"Iron Prison Detective?" Tangtang showed a curious expression.

"Yes, ordinary detectives catch people, but the Iron Prison God detective catches all kinds of terrifying and strange creatures."

The Iron Prison God is not a single person, but a reference to all the jailers who devoutly worship the "Prison God" throughout the State of Zhao.

The jailers of the State of Zhao have always had the custom of worshipping the prison god. There are many different opinions on when the prison god began to appear.

But for a long time after the appearance of the prison god, prison bosses in various places were just prison bosses and did not perform any duties of capturing strange creatures.

Things changed during the reign of the previous King Zhao. In view of the actual situation that strange things appeared frequently in the world, he vigorously promoted and developed the profession of strange catcher.

The original ghost catchers were jailers from all over the country who believed in the prison god. They borrowed power from the prison god and captured all the ghosts that were wreaking havoc in the State of Zhao.

Thanks to the detectives, the public security in Zhao State was greatly improved.

However, it was precisely because of these tricks that the influence of the God of Prison expanded unprecedentedly in just a few years, which aroused the vigilance and reflection of the previous King Zhao.

The excuse is that the quality of the detectives varies, which is, of course, true.

The previous King of Zhao raised the threshold for becoming a trickster. Ordinary jailers could no longer hold this position, only prison bosses could do so.

In addition, he also vigorously cracked down on folk sects. The Prison God Cult, which had just begun to take shape, was the first to be hit and soon completely disintegrated.

After vigorously suppressing the arrogance of the God of Hell, the previous King of Zhao attracted powerful foreign aid and acquiesced in the development of another secret force among the people.

In this way, a three-legged pattern was formed, and great peace began.

........

The profession of trapping thieves has developed to such an extent that even the villagers in the border villages of the State of Zhao are aware of its reputation today.

Of course, nowadays the term "guibu" is no longer called "guibu". People respectfully call it "Iron Prison Divine Bu".

"Let's go now, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back!"

Jiang You didn't want to delay any longer, so he borrowed a donkey cart from the village chief and hurried to the town with his wife and Tangtang.

Along the way, the little girl kept asking questions about the God of Prison and the God of Iron Prison. At this time, Jiang You believed her words that she was "traveling to Zhao State" a little more.

After all, if you really grew up in Zhao State, it is impossible for you not to know this common sense.

As it was getting dark, the three finally arrived at the town prison.

"..."

Ordinary people are naturally afraid of places like prisons. Jiang You wandered around the entrance and for a moment he didn't dare to go in to ask for help.

"If I don't go in, should my wife and Tangtang go in?"

Taking a deep breath, Jiang You gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

"This brother"

Suddenly, a hand patted his shoulder. Jiang You jumped up in fright: "You, you, you, who are you? How come you walk without making any sound?"

"There was a sound. Brother might have been lost in thought and didn't notice it just now."

The man with a thick beard smiled apologetically, and then he said, "I see you are wandering around here, have you encountered any difficulties?"

"I'm here to find the Iron Prison Divine Constable. There are yellow-skinned people causing trouble in our village!"

"Have you followed the procedures?" the bearded man nodded and asked.
