strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 15 [Sound of Reading]

Even if you know it is dangerous, you should face it; otherwise, you will be afraid to shrink back when things happen, and it will be difficult to achieve much in the end.

So, so what if there are ghosts?
Since ancient times, people who seek wealth and wealth and dare not fight hard, sit at home and wait for the harvest?

There has never been a saying that there is no pie in the sky.

Zhang Jingxu exhaled slowly, glanced at the expressions of the servants, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you all ready?"

After hearing his question, all the yamen servants knew that they were going to start investigating the case, and all of them immediately looked serious, and their faces were more or less perturbed.

Li San came to him and said in a low voice, "Uncle Zhang, how are you going to investigate?"

How are you going to check?
Zhang Jingxu looked ahead, looked at the thick fog in the Sun Family Village, and said firmly in the next moment: "Check it out!"

what?
Clear check?

The so-called clear investigation, is it necessary to enter the village with great fanfare?
The yamen servants were taken aback for a moment, and Li San was also puzzled.

Today I put so much thought into it, invited wine and dinner, and went out of the city late at night. Anyone who has experienced it personally will think that they are planning to visit secretly.

Especially now that it was approaching the middle of the night, the mist in the village was churning and surging, and ghosts could be faintly heard crying and wailing, which was obviously not a good way to go.

Under such circumstances, it is said that the more cautious the better, but Zhang Butou actually told everyone that he was going to investigate with great fanfare...

……

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhang Jingxu didn't explain too much, but just asked a question, but everyone was stunned.

"Even if we visit secretly, can we escape the detection of ghosts?"

Obviously not!

The yamen servants had a daze on their faces, trying to understand the truth in an instant.

They are just a group of ordinary people without any special abilities, so no matter how careful they are, they cannot avoid the ghosts in the dark.

That being the case, what is the difference between an open investigation and an unannounced visit.

Seeing that everyone already wanted to understand this point, Zhang Jingxu let out a little breath, and said in a deep voice: "Besides, why do we want to make an unannounced visit?"

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone, and said solemnly: "As a member of the government, investigating cases is justice. Therefore, you should be upright and upright in order to have awe-inspiring aura."

"With this great righteousness, you can restrain yourself in the face of evil ghosts. Even if you can't achieve restraint, you can at least protect yourself."

There is still such a statement?

The servants were very pleasantly surprised.

Zhang Jingxu didn't say any more, and led the way to Sun's Village. The servants hesitated for a moment, and then they all raised their heels to follow.

After walking forward not far, we have reached the entrance of the village.

It seems that because the village is too poor, the stone wall protecting the village of Sunjiazhuang is very low, only as high as one person, and can be climbed over at will.

But Zhang Jingxu didn't make a move to climb over, but went straight to the chaimen in the middle of the stone wall protecting the village. He even stretched out his hand and slapped the door heavily, and shouted: "I am the arresting head of the Yicheng County Yamen, and I was ordered to investigate the case. Where is the night watchman in this village, let me quickly open the door..."

In the middle of the night, the sound was as loud as thunder, and it could travel far away even in the mist.

Especially Sunjiazhuang is very small, there are only a few dozen households in the whole village, so Zhang Jingxu's door calling can almost spread throughout the village, and it is easy for the night watchman to hear.

However, what was strange was that no one came after waiting for a long time, as if the night watchman in this village was not on duty at night, or there was no night watchman in this village at all.

Li San quietly approached and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zhang, what should we do now?"

Zhang Jingxu sneered coldly, with a sharp look in his eyes, and said: "We have called the door openly and followed the normal procedures and rules, but the people in this village have no response, so don't blame us for entering the village on our own."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li San, and asked with deep meaning: "I remember you once said that you have a nickname called Xiao Yan'er..."

Li San was shrewd and intelligent, so he immediately understood what Zhang Jingxu meant, and said with a smile, "Look, Uncle Zhang, this little stone wall can't stop me. In my eyes, it's no different from being peaceful."

After finishing speaking, he sprinted on the spot, jumped more than two feet high, and grasped the wall with both hands.

The next moment he turned over and jumped over the stone wall with ease.

Immediately afterwards, the creaking sound of the wooden door was heard, and the boy opened the village gate of Sunjiazhuang from the inside.

Before he could ask for credit, Zhang Jingxu had already praised him in advance, and said approvingly: "If there is something to gain from this investigation, I will give you credit first."

Li San smiled lowly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Just don't laugh at me for stealing chickens and dogs, my nephew already feels satisfied..."

Zhang Jingxu frowned: "Do people often laugh at you for sneaking around?"

Li San's expression was a little inferior, and he said softly: "My nephew was poor since he was a child, and his mother has been sick all year round. I, I, I, in order to feed my mother, occasionally..."

Having said this, I didn't continue to say it, but anyone who heard it could understand that Li San did steal things when he was a child.

It's just that he didn't steal things for enjoyment, but to feed his bedridden mother.

Zhang Jingxu's face turned serious, and he said solemnly: "Although you committed theft when you were young, your filial deeds are enough to make up for the crime. My mother was hungry and my son went to steal, but this is not a crime of stealing, but a poor family who did not abandon their biological mother!"

"As for the agility you have acquired through stealing..."

Zhang Jingxu pondered for a while, and his tone was encouraging and gentle: "As long as any ability is used in the right way, it can be regarded as acting in a dignified way. Even the generation of chickens and dogs can make achievements. Besides, you are now a county government servant. Yamen servants, even if they overturn the wall and enter the house, it is to investigate the case and clear the injustice. There is only merit, there is nothing wrong."

"But remember one thing, don't rely on your agility to do evil, if that's the case, uncle, I can't spare you."

Li San subconsciously pursed his lips, his expression could not help but be solemn, and he said softly: "I would like to follow Uncle Zhang's teachings, and my nephew will keep it in mind. I will no longer feel that my skills are humble, and I will definitely use this skill in the right way."

Zhang Jingxu was very pleased, and reached out to pat Li San on the shoulder.

He stopped preaching, raised his foot and led the way, crossed the village gate that had just been opened, and finally entered Tofu Sun's Village.

As soon as they entered, everyone's heart skipped a beat.All eyes were dull, as if in disbelief.

It's because everyone has discovered that there is no cloudy fog in this small village.Even when everyone looked up at the sky, they could vaguely see the twinkling stars in the sky...

"How could this be?"

The yamen servants looked at each other and could see each other's astonishment.

Li San couldn't help but moved closer to Zhang Jingxu, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Zhang, can you see what's going on? Why is there only a stone wall, and the situation inside and outside the wall is completely different. "

"When we didn't enter the village just now, the sky was filled with fog and fog, and the closer we got to this village, the fog became thicker."

"I can even faintly hear ghosts crying and whimpering, and it seems to be coming from the village."

"But the current situation is simply unimaginable. Not only is there no dense fog in this village, it even makes people feel peaceful and peaceful."

The breath is peaceful and peaceful?

Zhang Jingxu frowned slightly.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that when things go wrong, there must be demons, and if people go wrong, they hide knives.

He let out a breath slowly, and asked Li Sandao: "Since we arrived near this village, do you feel that this place looks like a peaceful place? Not to mention the thick and turbulent fog, the boundless cold alone makes people chill. "

After a slight pause, he continued slowly: "Especially don't forget, what happened to this village...a place where people died for five consecutive days, uncle, I can't figure out why it is so peaceful."

After what Zhang Jingxu said, Li San and the yamen servants immediately changed their expressions. Everyone couldn't help recalling the process of approaching the village just now, and it was exactly as Zhang Jingxu said.

but……

Everyone was still puzzled.

One of the yamen servants couldn't help raising his hand, pointing to a village that was far away, it even refuted Zhang Jingxu loudly, with a three-pointed tone: "Boss Zhang, are you blind? This The village is obviously quiet and peaceful."

"Look, open your eyes and take a good look!"

"Thick fog billows outside the wall, and there is no trace inside the wall. Could it be that you can't see such a situation? Could it be that your eyes are really blind."

As a yamen servant, he was Zhang Jingxu's subordinate, but he accused Zhang Jingxu, and his voice was still vicious.

And Zhang Jingxu didn't seem to be angry when faced with the yamen servant's accusation, on the contrary, he suddenly became smiling, staring straight at the yamen servant...

"It is precisely because I am not blind that I see that this place is not peaceful. If you have never been obsessed with ghosts, what you see in your eyes should be another scene."

Another scenario?
These words made everyone stunned, and their faces suddenly became dazed as if they were struggling.

Zhang Jingxu exhaled lightly, and violently lifted up the fairy mountain grass in his hand. The next moment, he let out a resounding shout like thunder.

"Give me another look. Is there really no fog in this village?"

Accompanied by his shout, the two leaves of the grass swayed wildly, and there was actually a crystal-like jade-like streamer, which shot out and enveloped everyone in an instant.

And under the shroud of this stream of light, the yamen servants only felt a kind of majestic power swept over their hearts, as if they were warm all over in an instant.

Then, all the yamen servants exclaimed, and everyone watched everything in front of their eyes, and panic rose in their hearts.

But it turned out that at this moment, the scene seen by the eyes had changed drastically, and the boundless fog shrouded the village, thick as ink that could not be melted.

Gum!

One of the yamen servants subconsciously swallowed his saliva, apparently extremely panicked and restless.

The same is true for other yamen servants, all of them turned cold: "My God, what's going on!"

Only Li San reacted the fastest, couldn't help but took a deep breath and said, "I understand, ghosts are obsessed, after we entered the village just now, we were fascinated for just a moment... So, what we saw were all illusions. "

The yamen servants looked at each other, one of them was pale and murmured, "I seemed to accuse Zhang Butou loudly just now...God, when did I have the guts?"

Zhang Jingxu stretched out her hand, patted him on the shoulder lightly to comfort him, and said softly: "That was not your intention, and I will not blame you."

After finishing speaking, he looked at everyone, with a serious expression on his face, and said in a very solemn tone: "Now that you have woken up, you should understand how dangerous this village is. This place is not quiet and peaceful, but the dense fog that melts like ink not open……"

The servants nodded quickly.

At this moment, there was a sudden change in the village, and there seemed to be a faint voice coming from it.

When I listened carefully, it was the sound of Lang Lang reading a book!

Reading sound?
How is this possible!
The ancestors have been poor families who made tofu for generations, how could they have money to support scholars.

The yamen servants looked at each other, feeling that this was unusual.

On the contrary, Zhang Jingxu had a calm face, and even smiled inexplicably, and said meaningfully: "In the middle of the night, studying and studying, if this is really a scholar, he must be a good one..."

He suddenly raised his foot forward, and at the same time called everyone to follow, and said with a hint in his voice: "Let's take a look and see this scholar."
