Chapter 43 Special Occupation
"Duan Kuan, Zhou Datou, you two are responsible for investigating this matter and finding the murderer!"
Zhang Yang solemnly gave the order in front of all the villagers. Even though he knew the reason for this matter, he had to correct his attitude.
Then he left and everything in the village went on as usual.
However, according to this trend, the incense of the mountain temple should be lit soon, and he just needs to wait and see.
After rubbing the wooden spear for another two days, the rumors of the haunted village finally spread. Many villagers swore that they saw Yu Dazhuang's ghost roaring and crying in the middle of the night.
Many villagers also said that they saw the mountain god appear. There was also a resident of the same generation, an old man in his fifties, who said that he had received a message from the mountain god in his dream. Well, the mountain god also wanted to teach him the magic spell of exorcising ghosts.
However, these strange things were never discovered by the patrol team. Duan Kuan even stayed in the room where Yu Dazhuang died for two consecutive nights, but he never heard or saw any ghost cries or shadows.
This made him very distressed and blame himself.
Zhang Yang ignored him and let the haunting incident continue to ferment.
Finally, five days later, when Zhang Yang had rubbed a total of 220 Spears of Imprisonment, enough for each infantry captain to have five, the haunting incident finally reached its climax.
That night, the old man who claimed to have received the true teachings from the mountain god in his dreams finally killed the evil ghost Yu Dazhuang with magic in the presence of his son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and several villagers.
So on the next day, the news spread throughout the village, and Zhang Yang came to inquire with "half belief and half doubt". The old man kept saying that it was the blessing of the mountain god, so Zhang Yang "half believed and half doubted" and gave an order in his capacity as the village chief to offer sacrifices to the mountain god and order him to bless this piece of land.
The villagers were actually skeptical, but they had been tormented by Yu Dazhuang's ghost for many days, so they would rather believe it than not, so naturally they were willing to participate in the ceremony to worship the mountain god.
"Village chief, give me some more time. I think I will find out the truth. The murderer is very likely in our village."
Duan Kuan and Zhou Datou found Zhang Yang at this time. They had been very busy these days, catching ghosts all over the village every night, and they almost ended up with bad intentions.
With their powerful murderous aura, they can completely crush the mountain god head-on, let alone a little ghost controlled by the mountain god? "Ahem, Duan Kuan, Datou, this matter may really be magical. If the mountain god really appears tomorrow, you don't have to worry about it. Just patrol the village carefully. The jackals are determined to kill us."
Zhang Yang stopped talking immediately, then after thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he simply asked Duan Kuan and Zhou Datou to replace Wu Yuan and continue quarrying stones. As long as they could get through these two days and the incense of the mountain temple was full, then there would be nothing to worry about.
During the mountain god worship ceremony on the second day, Zhang Yang cooperated well and let all the villagers rest for a day. Of course, the soldiers were not allowed to join in the fun. Then the mountain god really showed up, and after some tossing and turning, 80% of the villagers chose to believe it.
On that day, there was a lot of incense burning in front of the mountain god temple, and everyone was happy.
In short, the matter ended successfully. Zhang Yang became a second-generation resident and also obtained the second special profession of the village.
"The village has officially established a faith, with 105 followers, villager loyalty +5, and an additional +50 village prosperity."
"The Mountain God has gained 105 points of Faith Power and has officially advanced to a special profession, Level 1 Mountain God (check attributes)."
"Name: Undetermined."
"Occupation: Mountain God."
"Level: Level 1."
"Faction: Zhang Yang."
"Talent: Incense."
"Gift: Divinity."
"Skill: Call the Wind and Rain Lv1."
"Skill: Soul Entering Dream Level 1."
"Skill: Believer Possession Level 1."
"Skill: Beast Spiritualization Level 1."
"Skill: Controlling Ghosts lv1."
——
"Current villager loyalty: 59."
"Current village prosperity: 115."
“Current village livability index: 11.5.”
Zhang Yang was quite satisfied with the result, because this special profession was very important. Of course, this did not refer to pure combat power. After all, ten mountain gods combined might not be a match for a captain-level soldier.
The significance of the mountain god's existence lies in faith.
It allows villagers to maintain a certain degree of awe and have certain hopes for the future, and on the basis of this belief they can develop customary moral standards, standards of good and evil, etc., which are all very beneficial to the future development of the village.
In simple terms, it means gathering people's hearts. Otherwise, if people's hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.
As for the skills of the mountain god, they are actually useless, including the ability to summon wind and rain. Unless one can upgrade them to a very high level in one go, the wind and rain he summons may not even be able to blow away the leaves.
In addition, the mountain god cannot really subdue evil spirits, and those have to rely on ghost priests.
"Now the villagers can rely on their faith in the mountain god to stabilize their hearts. The enemy's little ghosts can be detected in advance by the ghost priests. The combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been greatly expanded. The farmland is on the right track. Once enough stone is mined, we can build a castle. At that time, I can probably officially start the hero trial."
Zhang Yang was walking outside the mountain temple, thinking. His village had already successfully laid the first foundation. Even if the jackals recovered, they would not dare to attack again. But this was not the time for him to live in comfort, because the biggest bottleneck restricting the development of the village was the population.
He had to find a way to find the natives of this fantasy world, or some human deserters who had become wild monsters.
Either way, he would need to leave the village or even the forest.
But in this case, there must be a hero in the village.
"Half a month, maybe. If I can't complete the enchantment of the Iron Wall Battle Pattern within half a month, this matter can't be delayed any longer. I don't believe that I can't complete a hero trial with the Spear of Imprisonment."
Zhang Yang made the decision with great ambition and confidence in his heart. It was indeed the benefit of rubbing the wooden spear day and night these days. Although the quality of the Spear of Confinement had never been improved, his soul force field had expanded by ten meters, which meant that it could cover an area with a diameter of 60 meters.
In addition, his sensitivity to the Spears of Confinement has also become more acute, and he is more adept at controlling them. According to his own judgment, he can now activate 15 Spears of Confinement in succession without increasing his soul strength, which is a full improvement of three more than he had twenty days ago.
"So, rubbing the wooden spear is good for your physical and mental health!"
