Chapter 40 38. Schrödinger's Bluestone Town



No matter what happened in front, as a canonized extraordinary person in Taiping County, Zhang San had reason to go and check it out. And judging from the layout of the periphery alone, the other party would not let them leave so easily.

Just when Zhang San was thinking about how to make a backup plan, Gu Xuanyan, who was sulking in the carriage, suddenly spoke up.

As expected of the heir of a thousand-year-old family, even though Zhang San has been using the Memory Palace to make up for his lessons, he can only look up to him in terms of knowledge.

"The Song Dynasty's Taiping Yulan says, 'The rising of the sun and the crowing of the cock are similar to the feeling.'

The rooster, which is known as the 'yang essence', has auspicious meanings of its own and can also ward off centipede evil spirits and peach blossom evil spirits. Of course, it can also play a role in ordinary evil spirits. "

After hearing what Gu Xuanyan said, a glimmer of hope flashed in Zhang San's eyes. He had indeed heard of the rooster warding off evil, but he had never heard of anything like Qingshi Town.

If even a semi-professional like him doesn't know, then ordinary people in Qingshi Town probably don't know either. Combined with the indifference in Gu Xuanyan's tone, it seems that this small Qingshi Town is not simple!

"You mean there is a master in Qingshi Town?"

"Why don't you ask her (Tang Rou)? Why are you asking me?"

Zhang San: "..."

However, having said that, Gu Xuanyan was able to distinguish priorities. After giving Zhang San a slight nod, she spoke again.

"Using roosters to ward off evil is a very common method. And because of the limitations of living creatures, it is generally difficult to ward off evil on a large scale. Combined with the information provided by Guardian Zhao, the reason for breaking the roosters' necks, in addition to restricting their movements, is most likely to drain their Yang energy.

If I'm not mistaken, the work of Qingshi Town should be done by a sorcerer, and those dead roosters were just used as materials for setting up the formation.

With such a wonderful idea, combined with the geographical location of Zhenjiang Prefecture, the person inside should be someone from the Zhuge family of Lanxi. It seems that we are quite lucky. "

Gu Xuanyan used her wisdom to teach Zhang San a lesson again in a brilliant way, unraveling the mystery. With such accurate reasoning, it is no wonder that she had mistaken Zhang San as the successor of the Zhengyi School.

But after Gu Xuanyan finished her speculation, Zhang San's already anxious heart became even more nervous.

Not to mention how serious the evil spirit escaping from Qingshi Town is, just looking at this formation, it can cleverly use roosters as materials, with the help of the power of the formation to mobilize the yang energy of Qingshi Town, thereby resisting the erosion of evil spirits from the outside world.

This kind of thing is indeed simple to say, but to do it, it requires a master. After all, the evil spirit rising into the sky is too shocking and far beyond human power to stop.

It seems that the person in Qingshi Town is indeed extraordinary, and this is why Gu Xuanyan said "good luck".

What worries Zhang San is that although this formation is good, it also has the meaning of being self-defeating.

What level of ghost trouble was he dealing with to force such a sorcerer to give up using magic and adopt this mutually destructive fighting method? Grade B? This seems a bit insulting.

As for whether it was Grade A or a natural disaster, Zhang San was not sure at this moment to judge.

The only thing he could do now was to pretend to be calm and stabilize the morale of the troops. In the absence of sufficient hard power, he could only respond to the enemy's moves! ...

Unlike other dynasties that faced shortcomings in cavalry, the Jin Dynasty, with its vast territory, was already rich in resources. Especially after the overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty, the vast grasslands on the border became the empire's pastures.

It is precisely because of this that horses can be seen almost everywhere in the land of Dajin. Aristocratic families like the Gu family can even get military horses.

Just like the Ujumchin horse under Zhang San's crotch at this moment, it is the highest standard military horse of the Dajin Dynasty, and a peerless horse that can only be bred in the Ulagai River area.

Because they are in a fantasy world, it is rumored that the Ujumchin horse has dragon blood flowing in its body. Let alone a pack of wolves, even if ordinary lions and tigers are lined up in front of it, this kind of military horse will not be afraid of fighting.

The suppression of life levels is like a joke to them.

The famous guards (Qieshu Army) under the command of the "great hero" who founded the Yuan Dynasty rode on these horses to fight thousands of miles away and achieved one impressive victory after another.

In order to be able to deal with the enemy more easily, Zhang San, who was originally riding in a carriage, switched seats with Uncle Fu, and was fortunate enough to ride this peerless horse.

Every young man has a dream of the martial arts world in his heart, but with the passage of time, this dream becomes gradually blurred. When he reaches old age, the only thing that is engraved in his mind is probably "riding a horse with a sword in hand".

Whether in his previous life or this life, Zhang San has never had any experience in riding a horse, so he has no experience to speak of.

But the strange thing was that when he mounted the horse and held the reins, a sense of heroism rose from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to suppress this feeling, but was brought into a state of high spirits.

Sure enough, when the dam collapsed, it was impossible to stop it by simply blocking it unless a new dam was built downstream.

Zhang San has a deep understanding of this!

As the horseshoes kicked up dust, they also brought with them a hint of human presence.

Since Zhao Zhen was born into a Wukaiwei family, Zhang San never doubted his abilities.

But when they approached Qingshi Town, when the scorching popularity poured into the transparent world, Zhang San had to question it.

If he remembered correctly, Zhao Zhen's report was that the whole town seemed to be dead.

What caught everyone's eyes at this moment was not a bustling crowd, but Qingshi Town had all the vitality and noise it should have.

Something that even ordinary people could see caught the old scout Zhao Zhen off guard. Zhang San didn't believe that there was nothing fishy going on.

After Uncle Fu and Gu Xuanyan in the carriage looked at each other, they began to look at each other in confusion; Zhao Zhen, who was riding a horse nearby, also noticed something strange, so he hurriedly explained.

"Sir, this place was indeed..."

Without giving Zhao Zhen a chance to explain, Zhang San asked directly to Gu Xuanyan.

"How long did it take us?"

"According to the records on the instrument, it should be 7 minutes. Considering the round trip distance and the time wasted, it should be exactly 15 minutes!"

Compared with everyone's nervousness, Zhang San and Gu Xuanyan's calmness seemed so out of place.

They are well aware that high-level ghosts suffer from higher levels of fear (karma) pursuits, and simple slaughter is unlikely to satisfy their twisted psychology.

As the saying goes, the oldest and most powerful emotion of human beings is fear, and the oldest and most powerful fear is the fear of the unknown.

When you have acquired enough knowledge (power) and can have a deeper understanding of ghosts.

This so-called fear is nothing more than a "paper tiger"!

"Follow my orders and enter the town~"
