Barren mountains, ancient temples.

Fog, bonfires.

Zhang Jingxu held a wooden stick in his hand and gently stirred the wood ash on the edge of the bonfire, only to hear a few crackling sounds, and the cooked chestnuts broke their shells.

He picked up two of them, gently blew away the heat of the chestnuts, then slowly peeled the shells and handed them to the side.

Beside him sat Yun Jingshu, holding the two girls in his arms, the older one was the little bell, and the smaller one was Niuniu.

Zhang Jingxu was impartial, the two girls each gave a grain, and said: "This thing is suitable for snacks, but unfortunately only two of them are baked, eat one first and taste it fresh, and then it will be roasted slowly." ”

The little bell yawned all the time, and the little girl also yawned all the time, but the little bell was really sleepy, and the little girl was pretending to be sleepy.

The two girls seemed to be in a lack of interest, and did not pick up the roasted chestnuts handed by Zhang Jingxu.

Across the bonfire sat scholar Yun Ye, and said with a smile: "If Zhang Zhutou starts a family in the future, I'm afraid he will be a daughter slave for a lifetime." Look at you, you are so careful and gentle, you want to be a little girl in your later life......"

Zhang Jingxu fiddled with the charcoal fire in one hand, held the two roasted chestnuts in the other, and said nonchalantly: "Isn't it good to be a daughter slave?" My daughter is an intimate little padded jacket. ”

Yun Ye let out a 'hey' and said, "There's nothing bad, it's just a little tired." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to Zhang Jingxu's hand, smiled and said, "Late life can't do you anyway, if the child doesn't eat it, I will definitely not be used to it." ”

Zhang Jingxu glanced at him and said with a slight smile: "When you become a father in the future, there is a kind of saying such things again." ”

Yun Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled chicly, and said confidently: "Late life will never be like you." ”

At this time, Yun Jingshu smiled softly and took the chestnuts for the two girls.

first stuffed one into Niuniu's mouth, and then stuffed one into the little bell's mouth, pretending to scold: "See, Uncle Zhang was ridiculed." It's all your two girls, I've been really sick these days. ”

The little bell was still yawning, and the little girl continued to yawn quickly.

Yun Jingshu's face suddenly softened, and the scolding directly turned into care, and coaxed softly: "Sleep, good babies, it's not too early." ”

Saying that, he patted lightly, and coaxed softly: "I guess we can't wait for anything tonight, and it's still a waste of the night's time, so let's go to sleep quickly, two good babies......"

The little bell muttered a few times, chewed chestnuts in his mouth, and said vaguely: "If you want me to say, it must be that Xiao Yunzi guessed wrongly, and it is not said that children can be used as bait to lure out the evil hidden in the dark." As a result, we have been here for more than ten days......"

The little girl next to her blinked, deliberately waved her little hand a few times, and said in a childish voice: "That's it, that's it, I've been guarding for more than ten days, and there's nothing." Sister Bell is right, Brother Xiaoyunzi is stupid. ”

Yun Ye on the other side was quite embarrassed, sighed stupidly, and muttered, "Could it be that I really guessed wrong......

After more than ten days of inconclusion, the children began to question him, which made him lose confidence and began to wonder if some of the speculations were wrong.

However, Zhang Jingxu spoke up slowly, and said meaningfully: "If you come, you two little girls, the main task is to be a good bait." As for whether there is really something strange in this place, or if it is strange and harmful, it is not because of children...... Until all this is clarified, no one can be sure that they are right or wrong. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Ye, and suddenly asked with deep meaning, "Brother Yun Ye, how long have you been a priest?" ”

Yun Ye was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said, "How long have I been a priest?" Well, it's been more than five years, what do you ask for? ”

Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly and said, "After being a priest for so long, it is said that you shouldn't be impetuous, right?" Since you speculate that there is something strange about this place, then you must stick to your own judgment and never waver in your heart because others question it. ”

Yun Ye smiled bitterly and said, "The main thing is that I was accused by the two little sisters, plus we have indeed been here for more than ten days...... In the barren mountains and mountains, the ghost shadow is gone, so Yun can't help but ......"

Zhang Jingxu waved his hand to interrupt him, and asked again abruptly, and said meaningfully: "Brother Yunye, can you tell me how you awakened your merits and became a priest of the Divine Dependent's Mansion in the first place?" ”

Yun Ye was so shrewd, he immediately guessed what Zhang Jingxu meant, and said with a wry smile again: "You are still not at ease, you think that I am an impetuous person, so you want to know about my past, and speculate if I can't support the wall with mud......"

"In that case, I will tell you about my past and not hide anything."

He sighed as he spoke, his face showing a look of memory, and muttered: "As early as the eight hundred and fifteenth year of the Yun Kingdom, my father and mother did their best to sell the ancestral house, pawn the fields, and finally ask a relative who was willing to help. ”

"After that relative received the benefits, he took me to kill an evil ghost, and by drilling the leak, I was given a share of the merit."

"And it is precisely with that merit that I successfully awakened as a cultivator, but unfortunately because of the loophole, my divine power at the beginning was very poor, and the son of the poor family has no backstage, so it is difficult to be reused in the Divine Mansion."

"Can only be assigned to the Night Patrol Team."

"I'm working hard every day to get promoted. As long as there is merit to be gained, I have no regard for my own safety. ”

"After two years of night patrols, I have accumulated some merits, except for the fifty percent that was handed over to the gods, the rest was used for my own ......."

"Finally, I've advanced my cultivation."

"Reluctantly, I became a small county magistrate."

"But what about becoming a priest, isn't it still hard work? If the son of a poor family wants to rise, it is too difficult and too difficult. ”

"Zhang Zhutou, let me tell you the truth that I am not afraid of your ridicule......"

"A priest like me, it is very common in the Divine Mansion, it seems that his cultivation is good, but in fact, he is poor, occasionally earns a little merit, and is so busy improving himself that he has no spare energy to exchange for war weapons."

"Doesn't that sound ridiculous?"

"As a priest, I don't even have a weapon."

"Every time I fight weirdness, every time I fight with my bare hands.

"It's just a hard trade."

Yun Ye sighed again as he spoke, and his eyes subconsciously looked not far away.

There were people snoring heavily, like thunder, and Tian Shuheng, who was wearing treasure armor, was sleeping soundly against the wall with a bronze spear.

Yun Ye's eyes were full of envy, and he muttered softly: "The same people don't have the same fate, and Brother Tian doesn't have these troubles." Every time he cultivates for promotion, his family will immediately send him a weapon to take advantage of. ”

Zhang Jingxu turned his head to look over there and asked, "His weapons are very expensive, right?" ”

Yun Ye's face was gloomy, and he smiled bitterly: "Even if I work hard for another ten years, I won't be able to change the treasure armor on his body." ”

"And what about the Bronze Spear?" Zhang Jingxu asked, as if extremely curious: "What kind of price?"

Yun Ye smiled even more bitterly and said, "Since the Great Divine Officer's weapon is a spear, many Divine Officials in the Divine Clan's Mansion have followed suit, so the exchange price of the Heavenly God Treasury has doubled. ”

Zhang Jingxu groaned slightly, asked again, and said, "How long will it take you to fight?" ”

Yun Ye's face was embarrassed, he looked up at the top, and said softly: "If you keep fighting with your life, it will take about thirty years, and through thirty years of accumulation, you can almost save three thousand merits......

As if he remembered something, he hurriedly looked down at Zhang Jingxu and explained: "The three thousand merits mentioned by the late life refer to the number after being handed over to the gods, and when our priests cultivate their divine powers, half of the merits will also be deducted, so Zhang Zhutou must not think that the late life is a lazy and incompetent person." ”

Zhang Jing's heart moved, capturing some of the information revealed in his words.

Every time a priest receives merit, he has to pay half of it to the gods.

If you use merit to cultivate, you have to deduct another half.

it!

Zhang Jingxu couldn't help but be confused.

This kind of looting is so ruthless that future generations of Wall Street capitalists will say their admiration.

For example, if Yun Ye wants to accumulate 3,000 merits, it first means that he has to hand over 3,000 merits, that is, he has to earn at least 6,000 ......

But in fact, it is far more than six thousand.

Because he must continue to cultivate for thirty years, otherwise a stagnant divine officer will easily die in a strange event.

Therefore, cultivation must not stop, and only by cultivating and constantly advancing can we continue to earn merit.

And every time you cultivate, you have to deduct half of the merits.

This way of cultivation is inexplicably strange, and it can be roughly understood as exchanging merit for divine power......

And the greed of those gods in heaven can no longer be described by the word 'incomparable'.

They took seventy and a half of them.

……

Zhang Jingxu exhaled slowly, the stick in his hand slowly stirred the ashes, and some chestnuts were roasted, and he carefully took them out and peeled off the chestnut shells.

While handing it to the two girls to eat, he looked at Yun Ye on the other side of the bonfire, and said in a gentle voice: "Since ancient times, it is difficult to produce a noble son, this is an old saying, and many people regard it as a guide, but Zhang wants to rely on his age to warn you, a young man, ......"

Yun Ye hurriedly turned grim and said solemnly: "Please speak." ”

Zhang Jingxu slowly raised his head and looked at the outside of the dilapidated ancient temple.

The night was gloomy and the fog was sweeping, and there seemed to be a sharpness in his eyes, and he slowly spit out a word in his mouth, and said with deep meaning: "Now the clothes are rich, and they used to be mud......

Yun Ye only felt that his brain was confused!

The whole body trembled subconsciously.

He is extremely intelligent, how can he not hear Zhang Jingxu's metaphor, and it is precisely because he understands the metaphor that he feels a panic in his heart.

Now the richly dressed.

It used to be mud too!

Zhang Zhutou, there is a backbone in the back of your head.

Those who are richly clothed, their backstage is God......

Yun Ye's eyelids jumped, and his mouth was trembling.

He subconsciously wanted to speak......

However, Zhang Jingxu suddenly threw down the stick in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he looked out.

The next moment, Tian Shuheng, who was sleeping soundly against the wall, opened his eyes.

At the same time, Yun Ye, who was about to speak, bowed slightly, and in an instant, he pretended to be a single thin scholar, as if he was close to the bonfire to warm up because he was frozen.

The three of them were cultivators at the same time, and they noticed something unusual outside.

It was more than ten days!

Is the weirdness of this place finally about to appear?

……

…… Because my update speed is too fierce, the number of words in the new book issue exceeds the standard again, and it's not a small super, but too much overrun, and I can only have a big chapter tonight, and it will become two more tomorrow.

A new plot begins.
