Chapter 9: Ways to Increase Merit
Cang Yao's fingertips slowly touched Feng Tianning's eyebrows, and an invisible golden light flashed.
"Get some sleep."
Only then did Xuan Gou Chen discover that Cang Yao's eyes had also turned golden.
The next moment, Feng Tianning slowly closed his eyes, the murderous intent in his body disappeared, and he slowly fell down.
Cang Yao seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, the golden light in his eyes disappeared, and he looked at Feng Tianning in his arms in a daze.
"What's going on?" Cang Yao asked.
Xuan Gou Chen looked at the two people standing together with a complicated expression.
It was obvious that Feng Tianning might have been inclined to go astray just now, but Cang Yao stopped her.
Xuan Gou Chen also realized that the identities of these two people were probably not simple. Perhaps they knew each other before?
"Mr. Cang, please come back to the Special Case Team with us. After all, I need to give you an explanation for what happened today."
Cang Yao nodded and said, "It's my duty."
Although this mission was dangerous, they didn't suffer any injuries thanks to Feng Tianning.
They helped Feng Tianning back to the guesthouse, only to find that the manager of Qiantang River had been sitting inside at some point.
The administrator walked up to them extremely slowly, his eyes were empty and his eyeballs seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist.
If Feng Tianning was awake, he would find that the administrator's current condition was exactly the same as Cang Yao and the others looked like after they took off their blindfolds.
"Oh no, retreat quickly!" Xuan Gou Chen shouted when he realized something was wrong.
The next moment, the administrator's body exploded with a "bang", and countless black air rushed towards them.
Xuan Gou Chen pulled Cang Yao and Feng Tianning back quickly, so they were not affected.
The next moment, a black sword appeared in Xuan Gou Chen's hand. There were several lines on the sword. If you looked closely, it looked like a dragon ascending to heaven.
"Xiaobai, go!"
The black sword emitted a clear humming sound, and the black dragon pattern on the sword lit up.
The figures of Xuan Gou Chen and Hei Jian disappeared from their original positions almost at the same time, and appeared in the center of the black air the next moment.
"Tian Gang Zheng Fa, broken!"
The moment the sword technique came out, several lightning bolts shot out from the end of the sword, and the black energy wrapped around the blade screamed like a baby crying.
A shadowy figure emerged from the resentment. It was the backup plan left by the people guarding the river.
He injected all the refined souls into the administrator's body. These black gases were the resentment of all the unjustly died people, and were also the strongest blow he left behind.
Xuan Gou Chen cursed inwardly, wishing he could kill the river guard in the ghost bottle directly.
Xuan Gou Chen cut his palm and the blood smeared on the sword.
The black sword suddenly shone brightly, and wherever the sword light passed, the howling voices of resentment were frozen in place.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she formed the family's secret evil-suppressing seal with her left hand, and stepped on the seven palaces in succession.
Three purple thunder talismans were thrown into the air. The moment the talisman paper burned, there was a sudden thunder over the Qiantang River and a figure resembling a snake or a dragon appeared in the mist.
The black gas let out a shrill scream, and the river guard in the ghost-transforming bottle suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Xuan Gou Chen knelt on the cracked scorched earth, gasping heavily, with a black sword inserted in front of him.
"Are you okay?" Xuan Gou Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and walked to Cang Yao and Feng Tianning.
Cang Yao shook his head, then pointed at Feng Tianning and said:
"Just now, your lightning seemed to have struck Miss Feng a few times."
Xuan Gou Chen's body suddenly stiffened, and he hurriedly squatted down to check Feng Tianning's breath.
Seeing that she was still breathing, Xuan Gou Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Xuan family is the descendant of the ancient gods. She just used the Xuan family's secret method. The thunder method has never failed and it is impossible to hit anyone.
She had never seen such an accident before.
"Let's leave here first." Xuan Gou Chen said.
It seems that she will have to ask the elders of her family carefully when she returns this time.
None of them noticed that a yellow figure quietly and miserably escaped from the woods behind the Qiantang River.
The special case team's car was very fast, and they returned to the team just after dawn.
The issue of Qiantang River has not been completely resolved. After Xuan Gou Chen settled Feng Tianning, he hurried to report to Captain Liu.
Inside the office.
"Captain Liu, you must stay calm in the next matter." Xuan Gou Chen said with a serious face.
Captain Liu looked at her in confusion. It was just a simple mission, so why did she come back like this?
Did something go wrong with Feng Tianning?
Xuan Gou Chen told everything about the evil spirit in Qiantang River, but omitted Feng Tianning's strange behavior after returning to the shore.
"Three hundred years!"
Captain Liu's eyes almost popped out of his head. Their special case team actually allowed a three-hundred-year-old evil spirit to kill people right under their noses.
You know, the three hundred year old evil spirit has been defined by the special case team as a high-level supernatural event. To solve it, dozens of agents need to be dispatched, and even more so, there must be masters above the Nascent Soul stage to take charge.
Thinking of this, Captain Liu suddenly looked at Xuan Gou Chen.
"Do you suspect that someone in the special case team condoned this evil spirit's killings?"
Xuan Gou Chen nodded.
"But I still have a question."
"How did Feng Tianning bring you out of the collapsed strange domain?"
Xuan Gou Chen was silent now. She only saw colorful light coming out from Feng Tianning's chest, and in the blink of an eye they reached the shore.
Seeing that Xuan Gou Chen didn't say anything, Captain Liu also guessed something.
His leader had told him that Feng Tianning might be a direct descendant of the Feng family, an ancient martial arts family.
The Feng family is much stronger than the Xuan family, so it is normal for them to have some life-saving methods that Xuan Gou Chen doesn't know about.
Thinking of this, Captain Liu did not ask any further questions.
"This is the evil spirit. We might be able to find the traitor by starting with it."
Captain Liu took the ghost-transforming bottle from Xuan Gou Chen.
"Don't tell anyone that we have caught this evil spirit. Just announce to the public that the evil spirit has been destroyed." Captain Liu said seriously.
When Xuan Gou Chen returned to the ward, he found that Feng Tianning had woken up at some point.
"Tianning, are you okay?"
Xuan Gou Chen looked at Feng Tianning with some worry. The Xuan family's secret method could summon thunder from the sky, but the thunder she summoned happened to be the most powerful purple-gold thunder.
Being struck by purple-gold lightning several times, not to mention cultivators, even an evil spirit with a hundred years of cultivation would be seriously injured.
Feng Tianning shook her head. She felt as if something had changed in her body, but the change seemed to be for the best.
As long as she closed her eyes, she could see a lake in her sea of consciousness. There was a faint golden light in the lake, forming several large characters.
That is her merit.
Her merit is now 350 points. Feng Tianning guessed that it was the evil spirit that had cultivated for three hundred years and the ghost in the mirror that had cultivated for fifty years.
It seems that as long as you enlighten or subdue the evil spirits, you can increase your merits, and the amount of increase depends on the evil spirits' cultivation.
Feng Tianning felt that his soul seemed to have become stronger and was no longer as easily out of control as when he first arrived in the mortal world.
It seems that Xuan Gou Chen's thunder was not in vain, and she turned a disaster into a blessing.
"That's good," Xuan Gou Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"You saved me twice in the Ghost Domain. From today on, we are friends who share life and death!"
"If you have any problems in the future, just tell me and I will definitely help you!"
Feng Tianning smiled and nodded to Xuan Gou Chen.
The hospital conducted a comprehensive examination of Feng Tianning's body but found nothing unusual, so they let her go.
"You go home first. I'll go take Mr. Cang's statement and interrogate the evil spirit at the same time."
Xuan Gou Chen handed the keys and a mobile phone to Feng Tianning.
"Captain Liu said this is the key to your house."
Feng Tianning took the key and looked at the white thing in Xuan Gou Chen's hand with some confusion.
"What's this?"
The smile on Xuan Gou Chen's face froze, and he said in disbelief:
"You don't know how to use a cell phone?"
Feng Tianning shook his head and looked at her blankly.
"Then you must study it carefully, this is a good thing."
Feng Tianning held the phone in her hand helplessly. Xuan Gou Chen smiled and patted her shoulder and said:
"You take your time to study, I'm going back first."
Only when Xuan Gou Chen disappeared did Feng Tianning summon the spirit butterfly and return to her old and dilapidated house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, a yellow fluffy creature was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
Seeing Feng Tianning coming back, he knelt down in front of her.
