Gentle Township Hero's Tomb.

This sentence sometimes has to admit that there is some truth to it.

Since Zhang Jing spent three thousand merit points six years ago, he deduced the Shenxiao Thunder Method to the second level realm, and there are still more than 400 points left.

But since Xiao Zhang Shouzhen was born, Zhang Jing has not even earned two hundred merits in the past six years!

Therefore, the realm of the "Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture" has not been raised to the eleventh layer for a long time.

So much so that Zhang Jing had reached the second level of the Heavenly Master Realm early in terms of original rules and strength, but his cultivation could not keep up.

No way.

In the past six years, Zhang Jing has left Renjia Town only a handful of times, and there are very few opportunities to earn small merit points, let alone big merit points.

Two hundred great merits are not much, but they are equivalent to 20,000 small merits!

Ordinary thousand-year-old flying stiff is only a few thousand small merit points.

The immortal bones, which are better than the thousand-year-old flying stiff, are only about 10,000.

If you don't go far and take the initiative to look for opportunities, it will be difficult to brush up on two hundred merit points near Renjia Town, and even in the entire Lingnan!

So in the past six years, Zhang Jingxiu's strength has not increased much, which is also a matter of course.

But.

Zhang Jing was not in a hurry, and still had no plans to wander around.

Now he has accumulated 540 points of great merit, and according to Zhang Jing's speculation, the amount of great merit originally required to upgrade the "Shangqing Great Cave True Sutra" to the eleventh layer should be between 600 and 700 points, and will not exceed 700 points.

However, in the past six years, although Zhang Jing has not earned much merit value, his own cultivation has not been put down.

So.

In the past six years of cultivation, this is counted as a great merit value, and there should be a hundred points!

Even if there is no new great merit value in the account, Zhang Jing is not far from breaking through.

As long as you praise this threshold, you can be regarded as officially entering the second stage of the Heavenly Master Realm!

After entering the second stage of the Heavenly Master Realm, Zhang Jing was thinking about going to Nanyang again to see if he could shake the formation left over from the ancients.

When he went to Nanyang with the Caolu Monk, the Caolu Monk only stepped into the second stage of the Heavenly Master Realm on the original rules, but his cultivation did not cross over.

Moreover, even if the strength of the Caolu Lay Priest after breaking through, it is far inferior to Zhang Jing's Shenxiao Thunder Method.

......

It's July and a half of another year, the Zhongyuan Ghost Festival.

At this time of year, it is the busiest time for Uncle Nine.

As the god of Lingnan Yin, he has no time to rest for almost half a month in advance, and he has to complete his essential work well and help the underworld print dark money.

But for ordinary people, the Zhongyuan Festival is the same as the Qingming Festival, in addition to burning paper money to worship ancestors, there must be many customs.

For example, put river lanterns or something.

Adults are a little better, and children are most actively interested in things like putting river lanterns.

On this day, the family had not finished dinner, and seeing that the sky was about to darken, Zhang Shouzhen couldn't wait to quickly pull out the rice in the bowl, so he ran to bring the prepared river lanterns, ran back and forth beside Zhang Jing and Ren Tingting, and shouted: "Have dinner!

Zhang Jing glanced at it and said slowly: "You're done eating, we haven't finished eating yet!

The little guy was also bold, and said solemnly with his little face up: "Then Daddy, you should eat quickly! I heard that it is late, and there is no place by the river!"

Ren Tingting smiled, put down her chopsticks, pulled the little guy to her side, wiped the rice grains at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Didn't you make an appointment with your little aunt to go to the river lantern together tonight." Your little aunt hasn't come yet. ”

"Oh. Oh, too, I almost forgot to make an appointment with my little aunt. Zhang Shouzhen nodded his little head, so he quietly and patiently sat on the side and waited for the people to go.

Little Aunt naturally refers to the daughter of Uncle Nine and Aunt Sue, Lin Xuelian.

Although Zhang Shouzhen is only less than a year younger than Lin Xuelian, after he is six or seven years old, there is no difference in height, but because of the relationship between the generations, he has been calling the little aunt and the little aunt, and he really listens to the words of the little aunt.

After a while, Zhang Jing and Ren Tingting also finished eating.

The appointed time has passed, but I still don't see Aunt Sue coming over with her daughter Lin Xuelian.

"Could it be that something is delayed?" Zhang Jing guessed.

Generally speaking, Uncle Nine will be very busy tonight, and the literary talents who are apprentices will also be strengthened, so there is no time to rest. However, Aunt Sue is nothing, in the first two years, she took Xiaolin Xuelian out at night and asked Zhang Shouzhen to put the river lantern.

But he didn't think much of it.

Maybe it was some unexpected situation, and Uncle Nine asked Aunt Sue to stay and help, so it was delayed for a while.

Zhang Jing patted his son's little head and said, "Let's go, take your river lantern, let's go to Yizhuang to see your little aunt." ”

"Wow, wow, wow. Zhang Shouzhen hurriedly stood up and said impatiently.

The little guy's mind had already drifted to the river, and if he hadn't promised in advance to wait for the little aunt to go to the river together, he would probably have started to make a fuss.

This is the credit of Zhang Jing and Ren Tingting's education.

Although Zhang Shouzhen is not precocious, in addition to being talented in Lei Fa, he is almost like an ordinary smart child, but in terms of faith and heart, he has been educated very well.

It lives up to the word 'truthfulness' in his name.

The distance from Zhang Jing's house to Yizhuang is not too far, it takes more than ten minutes to arrive, so Zhang Jing did not fly in the air or perform footwork.

Zhang Shouzhen carried the river lantern and ran happily in front with small steps, Zhang Jing and Ren Tingting held hands and followed behind, and took a walk after dinner.

To get from the town to Yizhuang, you need to pass through a small forest, which is dark and deserted.

If you are an ordinary person, most of them dare not go here at night.

But Zhang Jing's family of three is naturally not afraid, even Xiao Zhang Shouzhen dares to walk here at night.

Yet tonight.

When he first walked to the grove, everything had not changed, Zhang Shouzhen was still jumping and walking in front of him with a river lantern, but Zhang Jing suddenly frowned.

Immediately raised his left hand and beckoned forward, Zhang Shouzhen suddenly found that he couldn't move forward, and his body flew up uncontrollably.

When he reacted, he was already in Zhang Jing's arms.

"Dad, what are you doing!"

The little guy was not afraid, and asked with wide eyes.

has a flying father, Zhang Shouzhen is naturally used to flying in the sky since he was a child.

Especially when he was two or three years old, he would basically smile and beg Zhang Jing to take him to the sky to play and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Only when he grew up later and was tired of playing with the sky, he would not often beg Zhang Jing to fly with him.

"Brother Jing, what's wrong?" Ren Tingting also asked.

"Something is wrong......"

Zhang Jing did not say the specific reason, but Zhang Shouzhen no longer ran in front alone.

He held one, led the other, and continued to walk.

Soon, through the grove.

According to the normal situation, Yizhuang is not far away, and you can see it directly with good eyesight.

But this time, Zhang Jing and Ren Tingting walked through the grove, but they didn't see where Yizhuang was.

The front was densely packed and shaky with figures, blocking the view.

Or rather, it's a ghost that blocks the view!

"Oh!

Zhang Shouzhen was in his father's arms and whispered. He is gifted and can see ghosts that ordinary people can't see.

Ren Tingting's brows also furrowed, looking at the lonely ghosts floating in front of her, and said in surprise: "What's the matter? Could it be that the ghost gate of the Midyear Festival is wide open today, and the location is near Yizhuang? However, why didn't you see the ghosts?"

On the day of the Midyear Festival, that is, the day of the amnesty of the local officials, the ghost gate will be opened, and countless imprisoned ghosts will also return to the yang world [pencil www.qbxs.xyz], and those who have relatives alive can go home to 'reunite' with their families, and the lonely ghosts without family members can also come up and have an activity under the escort of the ghosts.

Roughly, it's equivalent to 'letting off the wind' in prison.

But.

The location where the ghost door opened did not agree.

More than ten years ago, the location of the Ghost Gate Pass was opened once in Renjia Town.

At that time, not long after Uncle Jiu became the god of Yin, Shi Jian held a grudge and used Wencai and Qiusheng to make the ghosts flee, causing a lot of trouble.

In the end, Uncle Nine had no choice, so he invited his fellow Daoists from all over Lingnan to come over to help, and set up a formation to finally capture most of the fleeing ghosts.

Since then.

Uncle Jiu, who had palpitations, was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and after discussing with the ghost, he tried not to close the ghost door in Renjia Town on the day of the Midyear Festival.

I don't know why, this year's Ghost Gate Pass is set in Renjia Town again.

It's also near Yizhuang!

And the weirdest thing is that there are so many lonely souls and wild ghosts, but they don't even see the existence of ghosts!

Now these lonely ghosts are still in a state of confusion and have not reacted.

But if it is used by someone with a heart, and there is no ghost guard, it will definitely cause another group of ghosts to escape!

Zhang Jing put his son down, let Ren Tingting guard it, and said in a low voice: "Tingting, you wait for me here, help watch this group of lonely souls and wild ghosts, don't let them riot and escape, I'll go home and get something to set up a formation to trap this group of lonely souls and wild ghosts here." ”

Although I don't know what happened, there are so many lonely ghosts and ghosts, and I can't sit idly by when I see them.

Otherwise, it is a trivial matter for Uncle Nine to be busy after the group of ghosts escape, and if these lonely souls and wild ghosts become evil ghosts after escaping, it will be a big trouble.

"Well, Brother Jing, go ahead. Ren Tingting nodded.

Zhang Jing's figure soon flashed, and he disappeared silently.

After about two minutes, Zhang Jing reappeared at the edge of the grove, but with a lot of cinnabar, talismans, ink fountains, and so on.

Five Elements Bagua Array, Zhang Jing also knows.

And it has been raised to the level of Dzogchen many years ago.

So Zhang Jing, who retrieved the materials, soon began to act quietly, and after about half an hour, the formation suddenly took shape, and the faint smoothness shrouded countless ghosts, and even the formation was mixed with a trace of thunder power.

Now, even if someone wants to make ghosts, it is impossible to let these lonely ghosts go.

Ren Tingting's tense nerves also relaxed.

Looking at the large number of ghosts imprisoned by the formation, and then looking at the Yizhuang where the lights were faintly visible in the distance, both husband and wife felt faintly bad in their hearts.

Although from the time they came here to Zhang Jing's home to pick up things and set up the formation, everything went quietly and quietly, without any movement, and the ghosts did not receive any fright and riot.

But there are nine uncles and cane aunts in Yizhuang, how can they not notice it at all?
