strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 42 [Magic weapon is mighty, thunder and fire are surging]

Mouse smell?
Mice again?
There is one in the county government prison, and this coffin shop also has it, and when the coffin is opened, the smell becomes very strong...

And in this coffin, lay an old man with bloody legs.

Is this old man dead?

Or is it still alive in a strange state?

Zhang Jingxu quietly raised his hand, and the stone of the fairy mountain glowed faintly.

It stared at the inside of the coffin, lowered its voice and asked Li San, "If you smell it carefully, where does the rat smell come from? For example, his body..."

As he spoke, he gestured slightly with his eyes, and looked at the old man inside the coffin.

Li Sanxin understood, and quickly twitched his nose again.

However, this kid just smelled it, and his face instantly turned pale and terrified, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, Uncle Zhang, it's not him... it's not him... it's this coffin, it's this coffin that's weird..."

coffin?

Zhang Jingxu was slightly taken aback.

Seeing that Li San's reaction was abnormal, he dragged him to his side, waved the mysterious grass, and blew out a warm current.

Covered by the warm current, Li San seemed to regain his senses, but his face was still pale, and he swallowed with a 'gulp'.

Fortunately, his tone was no longer trembling, and he was able to tell Zhang Jingxu smoothly, saying: "Uncle, Uncle, I can smell it, I can smell it."

"Whether it's the strange human smell or the strong rat smell, it's all from this coffin, it's the one that's constantly spreading out..."

"I can even tell that it seems to be breathing when it emits, just like a living thing, it can breathe in and out."

Living thing?

Can you breathe?

This coffin is definitely not normal.

Zhang Jingxu was resolute and decisive, instantly raised the stone of the fairy mountain, and sternly shouted: "The sky is bright and the sky is bright, what kind of monster are you, how dare you harm the human race here?"

"No matter what you are, and no matter why you harm people..."

"The daytime is the world of people, and the earthly world is the place of humanity."

"Since you have offended, you should be killed!"

Amidst the shouting, Zhang Jingxu suddenly threw the fairy stone.

"Come die with me, eat me."

All the two hundred merits and virtues in his body emerged, without a trace of reluctance, without any distress, and poured them all into the immortal stone, and in an instant, the golden light shined.

Boom.

It was as if the whole house was shaking.

Suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing from the ground, and the yamen servants who blew in an instant were reeling.

Even Zhang Jingxu herself was staggered by the gust of wind, and was blown out of the door together with the yamen servants while stumbling.

In a panic, everyone's faces were full of shock. Looking at the situation in the room, they all became dumbfounded.

But in that room, there is a fairy stone hanging in the air, emitting brilliant mysterious light, and there are thunder and fire, and it is growing rapidly, like a sacred mountain growing.

Click, click!
In just the blink of an eye, the fairy stone has become several times larger, breaking the beams and roof, and crushing the four walls of the house. It actually turned into a hill, floating in the air exuding majestic power.

This kind of majestic power made the yamen servants dumbfounded, even Zhang Jingxu himself was also dumbfounded at this time.

"Is it so fierce?"

"It seems that I have given a lot of merit!"

He originally thought that two hundred merits were not a big sum, but because he was worried that the firepower would not be enough, he poured all his brains into the immortal stone.

Now it seems that the effectiveness of merit is beyond imagination.

That piece of fairy stone only got two hundred merits, and it immediately acted like a poor ghost who has never had enough to eat, desperately displaying its power and reflecting its value.

bang...

Finally, a bolt of thunder and fire erupted from the fairy stone, struck down from the air, and smashed into the coffin.

In an instant, people's ears roared, but seeing sawdust flying all over the sky, the coffin was blown to pieces by the thunder without any resistance.

Puff!
The old man in the coffin fell to the ground.

……

The sky is bright and the sun is bright, and the ground is full of thunder. Such a majestic momentum will inevitably cause a sensation.

Especially here is a slum in Yicheng County. The poorer the place, the denser the population. When the people heard the sound, many people immediately ran over following the sound.

At the same time, Niuniu's mother was also scared out of the woodshed by the sound. She was holding a fire stick in her hand and was obviously boiling water in the woodshed. When she heard the thunder in the house, the woman ran out in panic.

As a result, after running out, she saw the old man who fell on the ground, and the woman said "ah" subconsciously, "Father, why are you lying on the ground?"

She still didn't know about the old man lying in the coffin.

At this time, the people in the workshop came following the sound, and more and more gathered around the door, all of them probed their brains and looked in curiously.

Seeing the giant boulder floating in the sky, everyone was shocked, and when they saw the old man lying on the ground, they whispered and pointed.

Only Niuniu's mother looked anxious, ran to the old man and kept calling, and said in a panicked tone: Dad, what's wrong with you?Don't scare your daughter-in-law, you are still fine this morning..."

It is strange to say that just now the old man was lying lifeless in the coffin, but when the coffin was blown to pieces by the thunder fire, he fell out of the coffin, following the cry of Niuniu's mother, the old man's chest unexpectedly rose and fell.

The rise and fall of the chest and abdomen means breathing. It was very weak at first, and it was impossible to notice without looking closely.

But as time went on, the old man's breathing became more and more obvious, and finally he only heard two "ho ho" sounds in his throat, as if he was blocked by thick phlegm and couldn't breathe.

Niuniu's mother became more and more anxious, and hurriedly helped the old man halfway up. Under Zhang Jingxu's hint, Li San suddenly reached out and patted the old man on the back.

puff!
The old man spit out thick phlegm.

Immediately afterwards, the eyelids trembled slightly, as if a comatose person just woke up, and the eyes finally opened with difficulty.

But his eyes were blank, as if he didn't know what happened.

……

Zhang Jingxu squatted down, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible, and said, "Old man, tell me, why are you and your granddaughter hiding in the coffin?"

Although his tone was calm, his eyes were fixed on him, and all the yamen servants noticed that Zhang Jingxu was holding the grass in his hand all the time.

Quietly, a gentle warm current enveloped the yard.

As if some kind of evil had been dispelled, the old man's daze receded rapidly.

Finally, the old man let out a sad sigh as if he was recalling something, but his answer was a bit strange...

It seems that they are avoiding the important ones.

"What are you asking?"

"What do you mean hiding in a coffin?"

"Little old man, I didn't hide from anything, I just laid down in the coffin on my own initiative."

Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly, as if a little curious, and said, "Can you tell me why? A living person shouldn't lie in a coffin!"

The old man shook his head with a wry smile, and said lightly: "You are still young, so you don't understand. If you are an old man at this age, you can probably understand why."

He paused, sighed, seemed to be in a very peaceful state of mind, and said again calmly: "I am old and injured, and I feel that I can't live for a few days, so I lie in the coffin. Wait quietly for death, so as not to drag down the younger generation in the family." ..."

He paused again while talking, looked up at Zhang Jingxu, and said, "You should be able to understand the little old man's explanation."

Zhang Jingxu still smiled all over his face, nodded and said: "I can generally understand a little bit, maybe this is the heart of the elderly. I am old and have injuries on my body, but because my family is poor, I am reluctant to spend money on medical treatment. So I Waiting for death will not be a drag on your descendants, right?"

The old man sighed again, and said, "That's the truth, it's good if you can understand."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jingxu smiled for the third time, and suddenly asked: "But I still have a question, I hope you can talk about it..."

Indistinctly, the old man seemed to frowned, hesitated for a while, and then said helplessly, "What else do you want to ask?"

Zhang Jingxu let out a long breath, and said meaningfully: "My question is very simple, it is about your injury. Why is your injury so weird, as if being eaten by a wild beast on your leg... But the county It’s not a forest, so there shouldn’t be any wild beasts.”

Zhang Jingxu asked while observing the expression of the old man, but to his disappointment, the old man did not behave abnormally from the beginning to the end.

On the contrary, the old man's tone was still steady, and he replied lightly: "There are indeed no wild animals in the city, but there is no shortage of rats in the slums, and the injury on my leg, my little old man, was caused by the bite of a rat."

"Really? Mouse!"

Zhang Jingxu smiled again, and glanced at Li San imperceptibly.

Li San was startled for a moment, but then he understood it, stood aside and smiled cooperatively, and said: "Sure enough, there are mice, I smelled it right."

Zhang Jingxu also laughed, and said: "Although it is a rat, but it dares to bite people, it seems that this is to breed rats, we must report to the county lord early."

While speaking, he seemed to have let go of all doubts, so he slowly stood up from the ground, cupped his hands and said goodbye with a smile.

He said: "I came here today on business. Now that your doll has been found, it proves that there are no kidnappers in this city. If this is the case, the official duties of this headhunter are over."

As he said that, he turned his head, glanced at Niuniu's mother, and said with a smile, "Big sister, we won't drink the tea. Your father-in-law is injured, so you should take good care of it. You can't be reluctant to spend money just because your family is poor." Heal him."

Niu Niu's mother nodded repeatedly, and said with a cautious expression: "The civil wife is not a mean daughter-in-law, in fact, the civil wife has been persuading the father-in-law, but, but..."

Zhang Jingxu laughed, and said: "If he doesn't listen, you can continue to persuade him. If you still don't listen, you can just grab the medicine. It's important to treat the wound, so don't dare to be stingy with money."

Niuniu's mother nodded again and again, and said: "The women remember it, and go get the medicine right away."

Zhang Jingxu nodded, and said: "We should also leave, and go back to report this official business."

He really went out and led the servants away.

However, he didn't get out, as if suddenly remembered something, he turned around and said: "It's just a coincidence, a junior of this hunter died young, and I need to buy a coffin so that my junior can be buried in the ground."

Niu Niu's mother was pleasantly surprised, and said hastily: "Why don't you just buy it at my house, my father-in-law is very skilled..."

Zhang Jingxu nodded, but his tone seemed hesitant, and said: "But I heard that coffins are all made to order, such as your coffins, I'm afraid they are all made by others, right?"

Niu Niu's mother was not willing to leave the business, so she hurriedly said: "It's true that the coffin is custom-made, but it doesn't take much effort to make it. With my father-in-law's craftsmanship, he can..."

Zhang Jingxu didn't wait for her to finish, and said directly: "Then it's settled, the coffin will be custom-made at your home. After I go back to work, I will take some time to come back in the next few days. My junior is too pitiful." , I want to personally watch and make a good coffin for him.”

When Niu Niu's mother heard that the coffin was being laid, her face became more joyful, and she said, "It's fine, it's fine, as long as you're not busy, you can come and watch every day."

Zhang Jingxu laughed again, and said, "Then take my leave, we'll go on a business trip."

This time I really didn't stay any longer, and led the servants to leave directly.

It's just that when leaving, Zhang Jingxu took a deep look at the old man, and I don't know if it was a coincidence that the old man happened to be looking at him too.

Vaguely, there seemed to be deep meaning in the eyes.
