Zhang Ze looked at the rain on the ground, then looked at the dark sky, and there were ten thousand grass and mud horses running in his heart.
He didn't believe it was a coincidence. It was a nice sunny day, but suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and it started pouring rain.
And this rain happened to fall only after he buried the mother and son ghosts. Obviously, there must be some connection between them.
However, he couldn't find a solution now, so he could only speed up his pace and leave here as soon as possible while he could still see a bit of white dust in front of him.
Thunder rumbled and rain poured down. Zhang Ze ran for a few minutes before stopping because there was no longer any white ash in front of him.
He is lost.
Curling his lips, Zhang Ze looked around. He was now in a forest and couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.
He had no choice but to find a place to take shelter from the rain first, otherwise he would get soaked all over.
After running a few more steps in the rain, a cemetery suddenly appeared in front of him. Zhang Ze's brows suddenly wrinkled. He felt that this cemetery seemed familiar.
He looked carefully again, and there was no mistake. It was the same mass grave where he had buried the mother and son.
"I'm back to the same place again... Is this the work of a mother-son ghost?"
Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes and became more vigilant.
The opponent is a ghost, and Zhang Ze is a human. If he has weapons and equipment and can use skills, he will not be afraid.
But he has nothing now. If he fights with ghosts, the situation will be very unfavorable for him.
"Ding! 100 merit points have been received."
"Ding! The merit store is online."
Suddenly, two notification sounds sounded in Zhang Ze's head, and he was stunned.
"What's this?"
Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment. There had never been a shopping mall in the Demon Realm. This was the first time he heard about it.
"Is this mall exclusive to the fifty-fourth level of the Demon Realm? Or can it be used in the future?"
Zhang Ze opened the Merit Mall with curiosity and found that there were many products inside, such as charms, glutinous rice, ink fountains, etc.
In addition to these products, there are also some skills, such as the demon-suppressing spell, the demon-subduing spell, the heavenly master's spell, etc.
These things all need to be exchanged for merit points, and the prices vary.
The one that Zhang Ze is most concerned about is the last product in the Gongde Mall: [Skill Unlock].
As the name suggests, this [Skill Unlock] can unlock Zhang Ze's original skill [Summoning]!
This is what Zhang Ze needs most, but when he saw the price, Zhang Ze was dumbfounded. It actually required 10,000 merit points!
"I only have one hundred merit points now, and it seems I won't be able to use my skills for a while."
Zhang Ze looked away helplessly.
Just when he was checking the mall information, not far behind him, a piece of soil was lifted up bit by bit by something, and then, a white hand came out of the ground!
"Hey hey hey!"
A woman's laughter came from the earth, and the female ghost crawled out of the earth with the little ghost on her back, but her body was on all fours like a spider, and her head was turned to a weird angle that normal people could not do.
This was because when Uncle Jiu stuffed her body into the jar, the jar was too small, causing the female ghost's limbs to become distorted.
"You brat! I told you, I will kill you!"
The female ghost grinned, revealing a pair of sharp fangs, and smiled coldly.
On her back, the little devil hugged her neck and also let out a weird laugh.
"Mom, I'm going to eat his brains! I'm going to eat his heart!"
"Okay, okay, you can eat whatever you want, and I'll give it to you!" the female ghost said dotingly.
Then, she quietly crawled towards Zhang Ze through the sound of rain.
The female ghost originally thought that Zhang Ze would not notice the sound of rain all around, but Zhang Ze's hearing was far better than that of ordinary people, and he immediately recognized that there were some unusual sounds behind him.
He turned around suddenly and saw the female ghost carrying the little ghost on her back and crawling towards him quickly!
"Damn it! Why did the ghost mother and son come out?"
Zhang Ze was shocked. The jar that Uncle Jiu used to seal the ghosts of mother and son was covered with spells. How could he still escape? Is it because of the rain?
Now he had no time to think about this and immediately turned around and ran away.
Without the help of Uncle Jiu, Zhang Ze would not be able to deal with the mother and son ghosts.
"You can't escape my grasp!"
The female ghost laughed loudly, crawled quickly on the ground with her limbs, and chased Zhang Ze closely.
The little ghost encouraged the female ghost: "Hurry up! I'll catch up with him soon! Haha!"
Zhang Ze ran wildly in the heavy rain for more than ten minutes, and the female ghost chased him for more than ten minutes. Although he was fast enough and the female ghost couldn't catch up, he discovered a very serious problem. After running for so long, he still couldn't catch up. Didn't run out of the mass grave.
“Is this mass grave so big?”
Zhang Ze looked around in confusion. At this time, he saw a broken tombstone, and he suddenly felt familiar. He was sure that he had definitely seen this tombstone.
"Am I running around in circles? Is this the legendary ghost hitting the wall?"
Zhang Ze's heart sank. Now there was a female ghost chasing him behind him, and he was trapped in the cemetery and couldn't escape. He had neither weapons nor skills, so how could he fight the female ghost?
"That's right! Merit Mall!"
Zhang Ze had a flash of inspiration, and he opened the Merit Mall while running, looking for a solution that could help him solve the predicament at hand.
"I only have one hundred merit points...what product should I choose?"
There were so many products in the mall that Zhang Ze was dazzled to choose from, and many products required more than 100 merit points, so Zhang Ze had to select them by himself.
Fortunately, the mall design is very user-friendly and provides a price range filtering function.
Zhang Ze only had 100 merit points, so he chose products with merit values from 0 to 100.
Soon a product list appeared in front of Zhang Ze, and he checked them one by one.
"[Elementary Talisman], which requires 50 merit points, can exorcise demons and suppress evil spirits. How to use it, stick it on the head of the demon... Be careful to prevent wind and water..."
Zhang Ze looked at the rain in the sky and shook his head: "This won't work. If it rains so heavily, the spell will be wet."
He then looked back, and even after looking at several items, he was unable to deal with the mother-child ghost, until he saw the last item.
[Ordinary peach wood sword]
Price: 100 merit points
Purpose: Can kill demons and ghosts
How to use: Just attack directly
Note: Because ordinary mahogany swords are of average quality and can easily break, please use them with caution.
…
"That's it!"
Zhang Ze immediately made a decision. This [ordinary peach wood sword] was not the best choice, but now, it was Zhang Ze's only choice.
"exchange!"
"Ding, you successfully redeemed an [Ordinary Peach Wood Sword], and the current merit balance is 0."
The next moment, a five-foot-long yellow peach wood sword appeared in Zhang Ze's hand. It was light and airy in his hand. Zhang Ze was really worried that if he slashed the female ghost's head with it, would it break on the spot?
After all, when he fought with the female ghost before, he knew that the female ghost's body was as hard as iron and she was extremely powerful.
"No matter, let's try it first and then talk!"
Zhang Ze stopped and turned to face the female ghost. At this time, the mother and child ghosts also rushed towards him!
"I'm going to eat you!"
The female ghost opened her mouth and screamed wildly.
Zhang Ze took aim at the bloody mouth of the female ghost and suddenly thrust out with his sword!
Poof!
The peach wood sword pierced the female ghost's throat and penetrated through the back of her head. The kid was also pierced by the sword because he was hiding behind the female ghost's head!
"ah!"
The female ghost and the little ghost let out shrill screams at the same time. The two of them were picked up on the mahogany sword like this. They opened their hands and wanted to pull the sword out of their mouths, but they didn't dare to touch it, so they could only wave their arms randomly.
Zhang Ze grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and pressed down hard.
Click, click, click!
The peach wood sword seemed to be chopping a piece of white paper, easily splitting open the bodies of the female ghost and the little ghost!
"As expected of a peach wood sword, it's really good at killing ghosts!" Zhang Ze was overjoyed.
He continued to exert force, wanting to completely split the female ghost and the imp in half and understand them.
The kid had been completely split in half. Because he was injured by the peach wood sword, his wound could not heal. The two halves of his body were twisting on the ground, crying like a baby.
"Baby! My baby!" The female ghost looked askance at the little ghost on the ground, her eyes full of heartache, but she was powerless and could only watch the little ghost turn into a puddle of black mud.
At this time, when Zhang Ze's mahogany sword hit the female ghost's belly, it was stuck, as if it had encountered some resistance.
"What's going on? Why isn't it moving?" Zhang Ze's heart sank and he exerted force on his wrist, but the Taomu Sword still didn't move.
"I...want to eat...you!"
The female ghost was bleeding from all her orifices, and she didn't care about the mahogany sword in her body. She took a step forward and forced herself towards Zhang Ze step by step.
"Move!"
Zhang Ze couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that the female ghost was only three steps away from him, and that the sharp fingernails of the female ghost were almost piercing his face.
He exerted force suddenly, and heard a click, and the peach wood sword was broken from the middle!
"Damn it! It's really cheap but not good!"
Zhang Ze looked at the peach wood sword broken in two and complained helplessly.
The female ghost laughed wildly and pounced on Zhang Ze again. Zhang Ze dodged to avoid it. He held the horizontal sword in his hand, aimed at the female ghost's neck, and swung out the sword.
Although Zhang Ze has a broken sword in his hand, it is still more than fifty centimeters long, enough to cut off the female ghost's neck!
brush!
The female ghost's head rolled to the ground, but she was still not dead. Instead, she looked at Zhang Ze with resentful eyes and shouted: "I won't let you go!"
Zhang Ze walked forward slowly, squatted down, looked at the female ghost coldly, and said: "Uncle Jiu is kind-hearted. He knows that you mother and son are also hard-working people, and wants to let you go, but you are seeking death yourself, so you can't blame me. !”
Zhang Ze glanced back and saw the female ghost's body staggering towards him. Apparently the female ghost was still determined to attack Zhang Ze from behind.
"snort!"
Zhang Ze snorted coldly, stabbed down with his sword, and penetrated the female ghost's head from top to bottom!
The female ghost's expression suddenly froze on her face, and her body not far away stopped moving, and then she fell straight on her back.
Gulu gulu!
The corpse of the female ghost began to rot and bubble, and soon it turned into a puddle of black mud. When it was poured by the rain, it quickly disappeared without a trace.
With a long sigh of relief, Zhang Ze found that the rain was getting lighter and lighter, and finally stopped completely. The dark clouds dispersed and the sun showed its face.
The peach wood sword broken in two in his hand had turned black. Zhang Ze knew that this thing could no longer be used, so he threw it away.
Using the sun to determine the direction, Zhang Ze headed east and soon walked out of the mass grave.
Things went smoothly after that. Zhang Ze walked all the way east, walked out of the woods, and saw Uncle Jiu's Yi Zhuang from a distance.
Looking back at the woods, Zhang Ze felt as if he had narrowly escaped death.
"If I hadn't gotten the merit points and activated the mall, I might have been bitten to death by the mother-child ghost."
Shaking his head, Zhang Ze strode towards Yizhuang.
Liu Yueying had been waiting at the door. When she saw Zhang Ze coming from a distance, she felt happy and ran out quickly.
"Zhang Ze!"
She was still not used to calling Zhang Ze husband, so she called him by name in desperation.
"My heart was beating so hard just now, I felt like something happened to you..."
She threw herself into Zhang Ze's arms and murmured, "Fortunately, you're back."
Zhang Ze hugged her and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
When the giant gods and others heard that Zhang Ze was back, they also came out one after another. Zhang Ze told everyone what happened. Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that the mother-child ghosts were so powerful that even Uncle Jiu's seal couldn't control them.
Zhang Ze mentioned the merit value and the mall again, and everyone was even more curious.
"Mall?" Xiaoniaoyiren blinked and asked excitedly, "Is it the one in the game?"
"Absolutely." Zhang Ze nodded: "There are many products in it, but you need to have enough merit points to purchase them."
"I think the most useful product is [Skill Unlock]..."
The little princess of money curled her lips: "I guess, it must not be cheap, right?"
"Yes, it requires 10,000 merit points."
"Ten thousand points? So expensive!" The Dragon King was stunned: "Where can we get so many merit points?"
Yiye Zhiqiu analyzed: "Rakshasa completed the mission of Uncle Jiu and buried the mother and child ghosts, so he gained merit points..."
"It seems that if we help Uncle Jiu work more in the future and complete his tasks, we should be able to obtain corresponding merit points."
He moved the knife without emotion and asked Rakshasa: "Have you seen that there are products in the mall that can remove evil spells from us?"
"I didn't pay attention to this." Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment and said: "There are too many types of products, hundreds of them. I don't have time to check them all."
"Well, I'll take a good look when I have time. Maybe I can actually find it."
Others did not gain merit points and did not activate the mall, so Zhang Ze could only rely on Zhang Ze for this matter.
At this time, Awen and Aqiu came out. When they saw Zhang Ze coming back, they went up to say hello.
"You're back? Why are your clothes soaked through?" Aqiu was surprised.
Awen looked up at the sky and asked doubtfully: "It didn't rain just now?"
Zhang Ze changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Oh, Master asked us to deliver something to Uncle Li in West Village." Awen replied.
The Dragon King asked curiously: "What is it?"
"A Bagua mirror." Aqiu took over the conversation and said, "Uncle Li's family built a new house, but for some reason, he slept in the house at night and found himself lying in the yard the next day."
"It was like this for several days in a row. Uncle Li's family was scared and asked Master for help."
Ah Qiu held up the Bagua mirror wrapped in red cloth and said, "Master said it was a minor problem. He asked us to send this thing over and help Uncle Li hang it on the wall of his bedroom. He said this would solve the problem."
Zhang Ze and others looked at each other and said in unison: "We will go with you too!"
This is a good opportunity to earn merit points, and they don't want to miss it.
Awen and Aqiu didn't object. They all had a companion, so they left Yizhuang and walked toward the West Village talking and laughing.
