Sunjiazhuang outside the city, about thirty miles.

The ancients had strong feet, far from being comparable to modern people, and if modern people walked a thirty-mile road, it would take at least five or six hours, but if it was replaced by these hard-working people in ancient times, it would only take four hours at most.

Four hours, which translates to about two hours in ancient times, and after two hours, it is not even the second half of the night.

But this is a normal situation, there is no accident on the road to arrive normally, if there is a slight accident, it will definitely delay the trip.

In addition, it was night at this time, and the boundless fog shrouded the earth, and there was an inexplicable coldness, which disturbed everyone from time to time, so the speed of everyone's journey was very affected, and it was estimated that it would take at least an extra hour.

And this extra hour means that it will be the second half of the night when it is reached, when the danger will be doubled, and the slightest mistake will encounter evil spirits.

Therefore, the officials were quite frightened, and couldn't help but speed up their feet, hoping to arrive in the first half of the night.

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

This surprised the officials, and they all thought that they were lucky tonight, and because the rush was easier, the original nervous mood gradually relaxed.

I even have the courage to start telling some jokes to dispel the loneliness and boredom of the rush.

Only Li San was shrewd and vaguely guessed the reason, so this kid quietly approached Zhang Jingxu and asked in a stingy voice: "Uncle, is it because of you?" We didn't have any accidents along the way. Not even to mention the danger, I couldn't even feel the cold. ”

I have to say, this kid's guess is really right.

In fact, even Zhang Jingxu himself has just discovered this reason.

When he was in a hurry at the beginning, he also felt cold all over, especially under the fog in the sky, and there was an inexplicable panic in his heart.

And this kind of panic will make people involuntarily afraid, once there is fear in the heart, the three fires that the human body is born with will become weaker.

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

In this case, it is not difficult to speculate that it is obviously the invasion of the boundless mist, which is constantly consuming the three fires that the human body brings.

Because Zhang Jingxu had awakened and cultivated, he could clearly see everyone's three fires, and he found that the three fires of all the servants were weakening, and there was a posture of extinguishing them slowly between the swaying.

However, in the life of a mortal, only the three fires that are born can protect themselves, and once these three fires are weak enough to be extinguished, they will inevitably encounter various dangers next.

At that moment, Zhang Jingxu was very anxious.

He was afraid that something would happen to the officials, and even something might happen to himself.

After all, although he had awakened his cultivation now, he didn't have any means at all. To put it bluntly, he is a pure rookie, and he can't even use the three fires of the human body.

If there is really a danger, I am afraid that their team will suffer, maybe Zhang Jingxu himself can barely escape, but he can't protect more than a dozen servants at all.

He took the people out of the city, because he went out of the city at night because of the investigation of the case, if the officials had an accident because of this, it would be equivalent to Zhang Jing's harm to everyone.

Therefore, Zhang Jingxu was very anxious.

But just when he became more and more anxious, he suddenly felt a warmth on his body, as if there was a warmth that appeared out of thin air, soft but powerful enveloping his whole body.

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

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

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

The amplitude of the shaking of the leaves is actually so weak that it is impossible to detect it unless you look closely, but it is such a faint shaking that blows a warm current that envelops the whole body.

And after this warm current appeared, it instantly dispelled the coldness on his body, and immediately swept away the haze in his heart, so that Zhang Jingxu could no longer feel panic.

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

Yang energy recovers instantly, and even becomes stronger by three points.

If it's just like this, it's not a surprise, the key is that the mysterious grass continues to sway, blowing a soft warm current again, gradually enveloping the entire team, silently protecting everyone.

And all this, the officials did not know at all, they only felt that although the fog at night was thick, the yin and cold on their bodies seemed to be getting lighter and lighter, the panic in their hearts was getting lighter and lighter, and the suppressed emotions were gradually relaxed......

In this case, the speed of the rush gradually increases.

……

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

The next moment, more than a dozen points of light appeared between heaven and earth, crystal clear, and the breath was profound.

In the next moment, these more than a dozen points of light came quickly, like fleeting meteors, and landed on Zhang Jingxu's body in an instant.

In a flash, the yellow mangs were crystal clear.

Zhang Jingxu's heart was full of shock.

Merits and virtues!

It turned out to be merit!

These dozen or so points of light that suddenly appeared were clearly profound and heavy merits, and its crystal clear brilliance revealed the most precious breath in heaven and earth.

But how can merit suddenly fall?

Zhang Jingxu was puzzled.

Although the number of these merits is relatively small, and the total number of points of light is only a dozen or so, it is an incomparably precious merit after all.

Why did it fall from the sky for no reason?

……

Merits and virtues!

I suddenly got merit!

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

He looked at the officials who were hurrying, and then at the mysterious grass gently swaying in his hands, and the soft warm current continued to blow out, enveloping all the officials at all times.

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

This invisible force is likely to be the warm current blown by the mysterious grass.

"I see, it's shelter!"

"My fairy grass shelters the servants, so you should gain merit in the dark."

Zhang Jingxu finally guessed the answer.

Asylum!

Merits and virtues!

The mysterious grass in his hand is barely a magic weapon that has been refined by him, and the warm current blown by this magic weapon protects the officials, which is equivalent to him Zhang Jingxu protecting the officials.

Thinking about it carefully, I found that it was indeed the case, and the number of light spots that landed on him just now happened to be equal to the number of officials.

"Because I have a magic weapon, I have sheltered them, so heaven and earth have sent merit to me."

"And the number of merits sent down is equal, exactly the same as the number of servants."

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

Zhang Jingxu speculated silently, and gradually thought through everything.

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

So he looked at Li San, only admitted half of it, and slowly bowed his head and said: "You kid guessed right, tonight is indeed because of me, uncle, I secretly use magic weapons to protect everyone from the fog......"

Li San's face was very exciting.

It was clearly a shocking shock.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the officials who were hurrying, as if he was counting, counting them head by head.

Then the kid grunted and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the excitement on his face couldn't be hidden:

"Uncle Zhang, I really can't imagine that you are so powerful. On his own, he sheltered more than a dozen of us. ”

It's a thigh!

Strong thighs!

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

He felt that he was hugging an extremely thick thigh.

Since ancient times, the night has been fierce, and everyone from the pawn to the emperor's ministers knows how dangerous it is to be in the fog.

At the same time, he also knows that only the strong can walk at night, but his Uncle Zhang can not only walk at night, but also quietly shelter more than a dozen people......

How powerful is that?

It's incredible.

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

……

Zhang Jingxu could roughly guess the reason for Li San's excitement, but he couldn't explain it, saying that he was actually a rookie.

Instead, he had to pretend to be in an unfathomable posture, nodded slowly, and said lightly: "Are you still worried about danger now?" Will it be scared and timid? For example, let's go to Sunjiazhuang to investigate the case, are you afraid that there are really evil ghosts there......"

Li San immediately held his head high: "There is an uncle covering, the little nephew is full of courage, don't talk about investigating the case tonight, even if the evil ghost is in front of me, I am not afraid." If it's a male ghost, the little nephew will beat her up, and if it's a female ghost, I dare to press her to the bed! ”

This is an exaggerated statement, indicating that he will be effective for Zhang Jingxu. Although it is an exaggeration, Zhang Jingxu is still not lightly thundered.

Good fellow, you kid dares!

The male ghost went up and beat it, and the female ghost pressed it to the bed.

What do you want to do?

Undead Knight!

Zhang Jingxu's face was a little strange, but he knew that he couldn't discourage the young man's momentum, but he had to encourage him and let him continue to maintain.

So Zhang Jingxu slowly stretched out his hand, gently patted Li San's shoulder, and pretended to laugh and scolded: "I can't see it, you stinky boy is quite confident!" Since this is the case, I will do an errand tonight, and take the officials and brothers to work hard to help the uncle find out the facts of the case......"

This is not only an encouragement, but also a little implicit, clearly implying that from tonight, he has promoted Li San to a small leader.

Li San was stunned at first, then burst out with surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Zhang......"

Zhang Jingxu didn't wait for him to express his gratitude, reached out and patted him on the shoulder again, and said meaningfully: "There are thousands of promises, it's better to do it once, so Uncle doesn't listen to your various statements." I only look at the actual deeds, to see if you can really be effective. ”

Li San took a deep breath, nodded solemnly and solemnly, and sure enough, he didn't say anything more, just whispered: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry." ”

Zhang Jing smiled humbly, and said gently: "Okay! ”

……

Next, their group continued to hurry, moving forward along the official road, shuttling through the boundless mist.

Sunjiazhuang outside the city, thirty miles away, has already walked more than half of it at this time, and the expressions of the officials gradually became solemn.

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

Even if Zhang Zhutou has a magic weapon, the officials are still worried.

If there really is a demon! Can Zhang Zhutou protect everyone? Could it be that the demons are too fierce and have unimaginable ferocity?

This kind of worry is not only shared by the officials, but also by Zhang Jingxu himself......

Face the evil spirits that are very likely to exist, and they are the evil spirits that make a village die continuously. Zhang Jingxu believes that he must prepare more means to be safe.

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

……

Just as Zhang Jingxu was constantly pondering, their team happened to pass 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 a means available!
