strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 5 [A Plant of Grass]

"Let me be an official? Just kidding!"

Ten days later, in Zhangjia Village, Zhang Jingxu was dumbfounded, feeling a little dazed.

At the door of his house, several young yamen servants were all smiling, holding a document in their hands, which was actually a certificate of confession with the official seal.

"There are talented people in Zhangjiacun, who are highly respected and talented. Now, with a thirst for talents, I sincerely invite Mr. Zhang to become an official..."

It is obvious that a lawsuit with an official seal cannot be faked, especially since the person who brought the document was a yamen servant, which can prove the innocence of the document.

But why?

Zhang Jingxu was very confused, always feeling that this matter was too bizarre.

Fortunately, several yamen servants had flexible eyebrows and eyes, and they could see the doubts in Zhang Jingxu's heart at a glance, and quickly answered with a smile: "Mr. , with this document, you will be an official from today on."

"As for the reason! Hehe!"

One of the yamen servants approached furtively, winking and hinting: "I'm afraid you already understood in your heart the night you cleared the fog."

This hint is better than no hint.

Because Zhang Jingxu didn't understand at all.

What is the night of dispelling the fog?
What does this have to do with making me an officer?

But although he was puzzled in his heart, his face remained calm. Instead, he pretended to wake up, smiled and nodded, "I see!"

Taking advantage of the situation, he changed his tone and asked tentatively: "Since you can become an official by dispelling the fog, I am sure that I am not the only one in our county. Can you tell me about other villages where people are like this."

"It's not that easy!"

The yamen servants did not suspect him, and all laughed and said: "Although our Yicheng County is an upper county, but because it is located at the foot of Dongmeng Mountain, it is not easy to cultivate, there are many mountains and few fields, and the population is also small. There are only two hundred villages in the whole county. It has been seven or eight years since a night watchman has become...become...ahem, you should know the way of it."

"I know shit!" Zhang Jing humbly slandered.

Although he failed to extract any useful information, he still kept a gentle face and said with a smile, "That's true, but I still can't figure it out. How could a commoner like me become an official in a blink of an eye."

Finally, there was a young clerk who was smart, and saw that Zhang Jingxu really didn't understand, or remembered that Zhang Jingxu had been stupid, but just became a normal person not long ago, so he didn't know some common sense, so he continued to express confuse.

The yamen servant hurriedly stepped forward, and said in a very approachable tone: "Uncle Zhang, I can call you uncle. You are at your age and about the same as my father's generation. You are shy and arrogant, uncle, don't be disgusted..."

Zhang Jingxu's heart moved, and she heard the meaning behind the yamen servant's words, and quickly smiled and said: "Since you call me uncle, I'm too happy, we need to get close to each other, if you have anything to say, you may as well just say it... Uncle, I This person likes to take care of juniors the most."

There was also a hint in his words, and the young yamen servant immediately showed excitement, and said in surprise: "That's great, that's great, with your uncle taking care of you, my nephew's life will be easier in the future."

He paused slightly while talking, took advantage of the situation and began to explain Zhang Jingxu's confusion, and said in a slightly lowered voice: "Uncle, don't you understand why you were sincerely invited by the county government?"

Zhang Jingxu's face remained unchanged, she just nodded slightly, and said, "I have doubts about this."

The young yamen servant heheed twice, and continued to lower his voice: "The reason is very simple. You have dispelled the fog in the village. Since ancient times, nights have been fierce. Ghosts and monsters in the fog have tried to endanger the village every night..."

"That's why there are night watchmen, who guard the tranquility of the village at night."

"But if it's just guarding, it's nothing special. The key is that if the night watchman eliminates the threat to the village, then the gods will bestow a great merit."

"And after having this kind of merit, from then on it will be regarded as opening the path of God's favor, no longer an ordinary person, but a person in charge of power."

Zhang Jingxu listened quietly, and accurately grasped several special points that the yamen servant said.

God!

Merit!

The Night's Watch is granted.

Be the one who wields power.

And all of this starts with dispelling the fog at night. As long as the night watchman of a certain village dispels the fog, it can be determined that the night watchman has mastered the power.

Because only by mastering the power can we destroy the monsters and monsters, and after eliminating these threats, the night fog around the village will dissipate.

……

"I see!"

Zhang Jingxu let out a breath slowly, expressing that he understood what he had heard.

But he was extremely vigilant in his heart, for fear that others would see his difference.

Ten days ago, the night fog in Zhangjia Village did clear up.

However, his dispelling of the fog is different from others.

According to the explanation of the young yamen servant, the night watchman must destroy the ghosts to dispel the fog, but he did not destroy the ghosts outside Zhangjia Village, but took the ghosts back to the village.

The ghost has not disappeared, but the fog has dissipated.

If this matter is known, I am afraid that people will be targeted immediately.

That night when he picked up the wronged soul Zhang San, he really felt that something had changed in his body, as if there was a faint yellow glow coming down from the dark void.

The yellow light was very faint, falling on him and entering in a flash, and then Zhang Jingxu could clearly feel that the connection between him and that magic weapon was getting closer.

That's right!

magic weapon!

He woke up from the fairy mountain when he crossed, and saw countless magic weapons as big as mountains.

Bell, tower, tripod, flag.

Those magic weapons radiated so much coercion that he couldn't get close at all.But there was only one stalk of green grass that revealed a faint intimacy.

Although it was just a piece of green grass, it was as big as a mountain and shaped like grass. In fact, it was even taller than the ancient giant tree.

When the blade of grass swayed slightly, it carried an earth-shattering ferocious pressure.

That grass is the only treasure that he can touch.

It's just that it can only be touched.

Unavailable!

I don't know its true power.

But when Zhang Jingxu touched the grass, the green grass, which was as huge as a mountain, shrank rapidly, and turned into a small grass seedling in an instant.

He easily took the grass seedling in his hand.

And at the moment when he took Xiaocao, there was a sudden earth-shattering change in Xianshan.

Countless magic weapons as big as mountains all shrank into phantoms in an instant, turning into meteors, which quickly penetrated into Zhang Jingxu's body.

Then, a shrunken fairy mountain appeared in his mind.

Very unreal!
like a phantom.

As if in a dream, everything became empty and entered his body, making it difficult even for him to touch.

The only thing left is the shrunken grass.

……

He brought this green grass back to Zhangjia Village. He knew it was a treasure but didn't know how to use it.

But there is a clear understanding in the dark, which makes Zhang Jingxu feel that she will be protected.For example, when encountering danger, Qingcao can definitely keep him safe.

That's why when Fourth Grandpa begged him to keep watch that night, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

And when encountering the wronged soul Zhang Gui, he was able to follow outside the village without any worries.

The reason for everything is that grass.

Let him have confidence and not be afraid of danger.

However, before that night, Zhang Jingxu only had confidence. After all, although he had green grass, he didn't know how to use it.

until……

The moment he took back the wronged soul Zhang San.

Huangmang descended from the void!

His connection with Qingcao became closer.

……

"I understand! This is the magic weapon to unlock!"

Zhang Jingxu was shocked in his heart, and finally figured out the way inside.

"That yellow glow from the sky should be the merit that the yamen servant said. And after I get the merit, I can unlock the magic weapon."

"Hey, it seems that it should not be called unlocking, but the refining of magic weapons, which become my treasures."

"It can be inferred from this that merit is very important!"

"As long as I continue to earn merits, I can refine grass layer by layer, not only grass, but also other treasures in the fairy mountain."

"If all these giant treasures are refined, who am I afraid of in this world?"

Zhang Jingxu took a deep breath, trying to suppress the excitement and surprise in her heart.

Just at this moment, the young yamen servant spoke again, approaching with a smile on his face, "Uncle Zhang, listen to my nephew's persuasion, since you recognize my nephew today, then my nephew will definitely help you plan... Don't hesitate any longer, take this official certificate and report yourself."

The kid lowered his voice, and said in a sneaky low voice: "After the night watchman has accumulated enough merit, according to the rules, he should be recruited into the Shenjuan Mansion. But the Shenjuan Mansion has always been arrogant and will not take you seriously. If you There is no backstage, you need to start from a small pawn.”

"The county government is different. The imperial court is thirsty for talents. Not only can it give you the best treatment, but it can also help you earn merit..."

"Uncle, you can earn merit wherever you earn it. It is true that you can earn merit by killing demons and demons in the Shenjuan Mansion, but it is also a merit for the county government officials to govern the place."

"Besides, take a look, the county magistrate gave you this position, the chief arrester of the Yicheng county government, with jurisdiction over [-] villages. Not only has the power to open the door to arrest robbers, but also protect the safety of the people..."

"What do you mean by protecting people's safety? To put it bluntly, isn't it just eliminating threats? Isn't the so-called eliminating threats just killing demons and demons?"

"So, hey, Uncle Zhang, I don't need my nephew to explain the doorway here."

I have to say that this young yamen servant is really a jerk.

Some overt or covert suggestions, with the meaning of planning for Zhang Jingxu everywhere, obviously sincerely want to get closer to Zhang Jingxu, and obviously want to hug her thigh tightly in the future.

Other people's thoughts are so obvious, how can Zhang Jingxu not express it, stretch out his hand and pat it lightly, put it lightly on the shoulder of the young yamen servant, and deliberately laughed and scolded: "You brat, the uncle doesn't even know your name!"

Laugh and scold!

Ask for a name!
It's a sign of intimacy.

The young yamen servant's face was full of excitement, and even his voice was a little trembling: "Uncle, uncle, my name is Li San, everyone calls me nicknames, Xiao Yan'er."

Little Swallow?
Li San?

The corner of Zhang Jingxu's mouth twitched, and he asked: "Common people often say that there are wrong names, but there are no wrong nicknames. Uncle, I heard your name. Could it be that you are as agile as a swallow?"

Li Sanyue, a young yamen servant, was very excited, and said again and again: "Yes, yes, uncle is really powerful, and nephew, I am indeed agile, and I can be said to be as light as a swallow."

"Then follow me well from now on!" Zhang Jingxu laughed and patted Li San on the shoulder again: "Uncle likes to take care of juniors the most!"

This is an expression of acceptance.

The other yamen servants were so hot-eyed that they couldn't help cheering and they all came together and said one after another: "Catcher Zhang, we, we also..."

Zhang Jingxu laughed, how could he not see through these people's thoughts, and said boldly: "You are all young, you are all juniors, if you don't mind, you can also call me uncle."

"Uncle Zhang!"

"Uncle Zhang!"

Seven or eight excited shouts resounded through Zhang Jingxu's house.

……

In a blink of an eye, ordinary people became officials.The chief arrester of the Yicheng County Yamen is in charge of the entire county government.

"I'm the head of the police station!"

Zhang Jingxu felt a little bit emotional, his life circumstances really didn't make sense, in his previous life he worked hard for half his life, but he was always just a stock-level cadre, but this time he was at the level of the director of the police station at the very beginning.

Huh, no!

I am afraid that the beginning is higher than the director.

The chief arrester of the county yamen is in charge of the entire county yamen, has the right to open the door to arrest robbers, and is responsible for the safety of the people.

This is the seat of the boss of the County Public Security Bureau.

Official grade, proper official grade.

Zhang Jingxu was a little excited, thinking about how to grasp this beginning.

The first step is to integrate into the county government.

The circle is very important, and earning merits is not cheap. In order to refine the magic weapon early, he must become a well-known good official.

Let's start with meeting the county magistrate!

The first time you go, you can't do it empty-handed. Although he is a corporal, he has to understand the rules.

Shangguan, please be respectful.
