strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 12 [New Merits]

Sunjiazhuang outside the city, about thirty miles away.

The foot strength of ancient people is far from that of modern people. If modern people walk for thirty miles, it will take at least five or six hours, but if it is replaced by these hard-working people in ancient times, it will only take four hours at most.

Four hours, converted into about two hours in ancient times, and after two hours, it is not even the middle of the night.

But this is a normal situation. You can arrive normally only if there are no accidents on the road. If there is a slight accident, you will definitely have to delay the trip.

In addition, it was already nighttime, the boundless mist shrouded the land, and there was an inexplicable coldness that disturbed everyone from time to time, so the speed of everyone's journey was greatly affected, and it was estimated that it would take at least an hour longer.

And this extra hour means that the arrival time will be in the middle of the night, when the danger will be doubled, and if you are not careful, you will encounter evil spirits.

Therefore, the yamen servants were quite frightened, and couldn't help speeding up their feet, hoping to arrive in the first half of the night.

The only thing that made them rejoice was that there was no danger along the way.Although the boundless mist shrouded the land, they were safe from beginning to end.

This surprised the yamen servants, they all thought that tonight's luck was very good, and because the journey was relatively easy, the originally uneasy mood gradually eased.

He even had the guts to start telling some jokes to drive away the loneliness and boredom while on the road.

Only Li San was shrewd and vaguely guessed the reason, so this kid approached Zhang Jingxu quietly, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, is it because of you? We didn't encounter any accidents on this journey. Don't even say it was because of you." Encountering danger, I can't even feel the coldness gradually."

It has to be said that this kid's guess is really right.

In fact, even Zhang Jingxu herself had just discovered this reason.

At the beginning of the journey, he also felt gloomy and cold all over, especially when the sky was shrouded in mist, he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

And this kind of panic will make people feel fear involuntarily. Once fear arises in the heart, the three fires inherent in the human body will weaken.

The three fires became weaker, as if fluttering in the wind, as if they could be extinguished at any time, which meant that people's yang energy was constantly weakening.

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to deduce that it is obviously the invasion of the boundless fog, which is constantly consuming the three fires that the person carries.

Because Zhang Jingxu has awakened to practice, he can clearly see the three fires of everyone. He found that the three fires of all the government servants are weakening, and they are slowly extinguishing.

However, in a mortal's life, there are only three natural fires that can protect the body. Once these three fires are too weak to be extinguished, they will inevitably encounter various dangers.

At that moment, Zhang Jingxu was very anxious.

He was afraid that something would happen to the yamen servants, or even himself.

After all, although he has awakened to practice now, he has no means at all.To put it bluntly, he is a pure rookie, and he doesn't even know how to use the three personal fires.

If there is a real danger, I am afraid that all of them will suffer. Maybe Zhang Jingxu can barely escape by himself, but he can't protect a dozen yamen servants at all.

He was the one who took them out of the city, and he only left the city at night because of the investigation. If something happened to the yamen servants because of this, it would be Zhang Jingxu who harmed everyone.

Therefore, Zhang Jingxu was very anxious.

But just when he was getting more and more anxious, he suddenly felt a warmth in his body, as if there was a warmth that appeared out of thin air, covering his whole body softly but powerfully.

The next moment, Zhang Jingxu discovered the source of warmth.

It was the mysterious green grass in his hand, swaying and swaying slightly.

This mysterious little green grass currently only has two leaves. Even though there is no wind around, the two leaves are shaking.

The shaking of the leaves is actually very weak, so that if you don't observe carefully, you can't detect it, but such a weak shaking blows a warm current that covers the whole body.

And after this warm current appeared, it instantly dispelled the coldness on his body, followed by sweeping away the haze in his heart, so that Zhang Jingxu no longer felt panic.

And in the blink of an eye, the three fires that were weak and about to be extinguished suddenly became vigorous, like a raging fire cooking oil, and began to burn blazingly.

Yang Qi recovered instantly, and even became stronger by three points.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't be a surprise. The key is that the mysterious grass continued to sway, blowing out a gentle warm current again, and gradually enveloped the entire team, silently protecting everyone.

And all this, the yamen servants don't know at all, they only feel that although the fog at night is thick, the coolness on their bodies seems to be getting lighter and lighter, the fear in their hearts is getting lighter and lighter, and their suppressed emotions are gradually relaxing...

In this case, the speed of rushing gradually increased.

……

And in the following time, Zhang Jingxu discovered another strange thing. When the mysterious grass in his hand blew out a warm current, a mighty force suddenly descended from the dark void.

The next moment, more than a dozen light spots appeared between the sky and the earth, which were crystal clear and had a deep breath.

The next moment, these dozens of light spots came at a high speed, like a fleeting meteor, and landed on Zhang Jingxu's body in an instant.

It fell in a flash, and the yellow light was crystal clear.

Zhang Jingxu was completely shocked.

Merit!

It turned out to be a merit!
The sudden appearance of these dozens of light spots is clearly a profound and profound merit, and its crystal clear brilliance reveals the most precious breath between heaven and earth.

However, how could there be a sudden decline in merit?
Zhang Jingxu couldn't figure it out.

Although the amount of this kind of merit is relatively small, and there are only a dozen light spots in total, it is, after all, an incomparably precious merit.

For no reason, why did it fall from the sky?

……

Merit!

I suddenly gained merit!

Zhang Jingxu kept speculating in her mind, and gradually realized something in her heart.

He looked at the yamen servants who were on their way, and then at the mysterious grass swaying gently in his hands. The gentle warm current was constantly blowing out, covering all the yamen servants at all times.

Although it was late at night, the whole land was shrouded in cold mist, but when the mist wanted to sweep up, it seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force.

This invisible force is probably the warm current blown by the mysterious grass.

"I see, this is shelter!"

"My fairy grass has protected the servants, so it should gain merit in the dark."

Zhang Jingxu finally guessed the answer.

shelter!

Merit!

The mysterious grass in his hand can be regarded as a magic weapon refined by him, and the warm current blown by this magic weapon to protect the yamen servants is equivalent to him, Zhang Jingxu, protecting the yamen servants.

Thinking about it carefully, I found that it was indeed the case. The number of light spots that landed on him just now was exactly equal to the number of yamen servants.

"Because I have a magic weapon, I have protected them, so the heaven and the earth have given me merit."

"And the number of meritorious deeds is equal, exactly the same as the number of yamen servants."

"Then can it be inferred from this that something will happen without my protection tonight, and these yamen servants must encounter some kind of irresistible danger when they are traveling in the middle of the night."

Zhang Jingxu silently speculated, gradually thinking everything through.

Although I want to understand everything, I can't reveal it. After all, it involves earning merit, and the more secretive this kind of thing is, the better.

So he looked at Li San, only admitted half of it, slowly nodded and said: "Your guess is right, it is indeed because of me tonight, uncle, I secretly used a magic weapon to protect everyone from the fog... "

Li San's expression was wonderful.

It was clearly a shocking shock.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the yamen servants who were on their way, as if counting them head by head.

Then the kid grunted and swallowed hard, the excitement on his face couldn't be concealed no matter what:
"Uncle Zhang, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful. With your own strength, you can protect a dozen of us."

This is the thigh!
Strong thighs!

No wonder the kid was shocked at first, and then became so excited.

He felt as if he was hugging an extremely thick thigh.

Since ancient times, the night has been dangerous, and everyone knows how dangerous it is to be in the mist, no matter ordinary people or emperors and ministers.

At the same time, he also deeply knows that only the strong can walk at night, but his Uncle Zhang can not only walk at night by himself, but also protect a dozen people silently...

How powerful is this?

Simply incredible.

The more Li San thought about it, the more excited he became.

……

Zhang Jingxu can roughly guess the reason for Li San's excitement, but he can't explain it, telling the truth that he is actually a rookie.

Instead, he had to pretend to be inscrutable, nodded slowly, and said lightly: "Are you still worried about the danger? Are you afraid and timid? For example, when we go to Sunjiazhuang to investigate the case, are you afraid that there will be real crimes there?" There are evil spirits..."

Li San immediately raised his head and chest: "Under the cover of the uncle, my nephew is full of courage. Don't talk about investigating the case tonight, even if the evil spirit is in front of me, I won't be afraid. If it's a male ghost, my nephew will beat you up if it's a female ghost. How dare you put her on the bed!"

This is an exaggerated statement, showing that he will work for Zhang Jingxu.Although it's an exaggeration, Zhang Jingxu was still terrified by the thunder.

Good guy, how dare you kid!

The male ghost beats him up, and the female ghost presses her down on the bed.

What do you want to do?
Undead knight!
Zhang Jingxu looked a little weird, but she knew that she couldn't discourage the young man's enthusiasm, but encouraged him to keep going.

So Zhang Jingxu slowly stretched out her hand, patted Li San's shoulder lightly, and pretended to laugh and cursed: "I can't tell, you brat is quite confident! If that's the case, it's easy to do errands tonight. Brothers, work hard and try to help uncle find out the case..."

These words were not only for encouragement, but also implied a little bit, clearly implying that from tonight onwards, he had promoted Li San to be the little boss.

Li San was startled for a moment, then burst into surprise, tremblingly said: "Uncle Zhang..."

Without waiting for him to express his gratitude, Zhang Jingxu stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder again, and said meaningfully: "You make a thousand promises with your mouth, but you don't do it once. Therefore, uncle doesn't listen to your various statements. I only look at the actual actions." , to see if you can really work.”

Li San took a deep breath, nodded solemnly and solemnly, and really didn't say much, just said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry."

Zhang Jingxu nodded and smiled, and said softly, "Okay!"

……

Next, their team continued on their way, moving forward along the official road, shuttling through the boundless fog.

Sunjiazhuang outside the city was thirty miles away, more than half of it had been traveled by now, and the expressions of the yamen servants gradually became serious.

After all, what they are going to investigate tonight is extraordinary, and it is very likely that it will involve evil spirits harming people.

Even if Zhang Butou has a magic weapon, the servants are still worried.

If evil spirits really appear!Can Butou Zhang protect everyone?Could it be that the evil spirit is too ferocious and possesses unimaginable ferocity?
This kind of worry is not limited to the yamen servants, in fact, Zhang Jingxu also has it...

Face the evil spirit that is very likely to exist, and it is the evil spirit that makes a village die continuously.Zhang Jingxu believed that she had to prepare more means to be safe.

However, what means does he have besides the mysterious grass?

……

Just as Zhang Jingxu was thinking about it, the group of them happened to be passing through a village, and this village was very familiar, it was Zhangjia Village where Zhang Jingxu was born.

So in an instant, Zhang Jingxu suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He thought of an available means!
