Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 47: The training of the fox demon
After coming out of the Privy Council, I went to the renting link that Xia Fan was most familiar with.
The reception officer said that there is indeed an area not far from the east of the Privy Council, which is also enclosed by a wall, and a bronze badge is required to enter.
The houses inside are much the same. They are all bungalows with yards, and there are almost a hundred of them. Judging from the empty dirt road, the occupancy rate here is not high. Obviously, alchemists with a little bit of status will not live here, but choose to go to a better location in Jinxia City.
After all, the sea is also east of the city. The closer to this side, the more obvious the smell of firewood in the air.
But the house price is really cheap. A house only charges one or two silver every three months. Compared with the black shops in Qingshan Town, I don’t know where it is cheaper.
According to the standards of later generations, this can be regarded as a rural villa area.
Xia Fan quickly picked his favorite residence—a house on the edge of the wall and at the end of the dirt road. It is still a location that is not easily noticeable when entering and exiting, and it can quickly climb over the fence when necessary. Since he decided to bring the fox monster, he had to make a certain cut in convenience, and it was always right to have peace of mind.
Wei Wushuang chose a house next to Xia Fan. With his family's financial resources, he could obviously live in a restaurant, instead of coming to a place where he had to deal with food and clothing.
Only when he saw that Li was about to walk into the same house, his expression became very exciting.
"You... don't you live separately? The residences here only have one bedroom..."
"Ah, what's the problem? She and I are disciples of the same class. When wandering, I often squeeze a blanket." Xia Fan pretended to be taken for granted, "Senior brothers and sisters are like this, not to mention that the bedroom is completely Can fit another bed."
Wei Wushuang opened his mouth several times, and finally he only said "Brother Xia...I, I envy you!"
walked into the house, Xia Fan blinked at the fox demon, "Ahem, this is the necessary rhetoric for cover."
"Then do you really want to?" the latter asked abruptly.
"What?" He was taken aback for a moment.
"You saved my life after all... My body is no different from a human except for the ears and tail. If you don't mind, I can't." At this point, she turned her head. The corners of his eyes raised slightly, "I remember you said that my ears are not ugly, right..."
Although she did not make too many expressions, it was this squinting glance that was extremely charming-unlike the pretended sultry, her low moan did not mean desire, but it seemed to go straight to the bottom of her heart, fiddled with each other. General on the heartstrings.
What's the situation?
Is it really okay to drive before it gets dark!
Xia Fan felt a huge amount of information suddenly flooded into his head, and the battle between heaven and humans escalated from a verbal confrontation to a fist to a physical fight in a short period of time.
Is it too hypocritical to decline at this time?
said that demons and people are treated equally, isn’t it the time to prove it——
Beasts are not as good as anything, he thinks he is not that kind of person.
Take ten thousand steps, this is also a rare opportunity to explore the body structure of the monster.
In a few seconds, he seemed to think about a century, but in the first few years of the century, the conflict of consciousness has become a unilateral sling.
"Since you are all talking about it, then I..." Xia Fan was halfway through, his eyes suddenly caught a ray of dangerous light, he seemed to see the fox demon's fingertips stretched out, like a hand Sharp weapon. The cold light reflected by this sharp blade made him swallow the second half of the sentence back in an instant, "Then how can I take advantage of others? I just sleep outside at night."
"Yes, your will is still achievable, but you lack temper." Li nodded and retracted his hands. In an instant, the waves of her eyes and the manner in which she was being manipulated disappeared, as if it was just an illusion just now.
Xia Fan realized something was wrong, "Just... didn't I want to make a mistake?"
"It's not all, you have been tricked by me."
He couldn't help but think of the dream when he was in Qingshan Town.
"illusion..."
"This is also the natural magic of the fox demon. It can be used at any time without the help of foreign objects."
So that's the case, it's really a convenient ability—no, Xia Fan suddenly realized that this is not a good time to study spells, "Wait, why did you use this for me suddenly?"
"Because you have become an official alchemist." Li suddenly said seriously, "Since you want to help me find out about the whereabouts of Master, you will deal with the high-level alchemist sooner or later. And their methods are not as clumsy as the candidates in Qingshan Town. Once they have aroused their suspicion, the most direct way is to use weird and unpredictable hurdles to induce you to tell the truth."
" In addition, attacks on the will are also a common tactic used by alchemists. After all, all alchemy needs to be initiated from the "thinking", and disrupting ideas and interfering with attention can hinder the magic. If you are not strong in will, the game It will be a disadvantage from the beginning."
is just an investigation, why did it go directly to actual combat? His purpose in coming to the Privy Council is to better understand Alchemy and analyze the mysteries of the world, so that he will not do such dangerous things!
Even so, Xia Fan still asked unconsciously, "But didn’t you just leave a flaw on purpose to let me discover the problem?"
"If you can detect this in the middle of the spell, you are considered qualified." Li nodded, "You must know that the illusion-based hurdle is not without flaws. The opponent is calculating you while naturally It will also expose some loopholes. Of course, the sooner you can find the flaws, the better. If you want to do this, you still need a lot of practice."
"Practice...?"
"Well, I will do this from time to time in the future until your will is as strong as a rock."
噗! Xia Fan almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood. Who can stand this? He is not the strongest monk. It would be too torture to be forced to practice cultivation!
"Uh... you never thought about it, if there is an accident, wouldn't you and me be dangerous?"
"Don't worry, I will grasp the degree. If you are completely controlled by the magic, I will relieve it." Li said indifferently, "The magic will interfere with your mind and mistakenly think that I am graceful and charming. Once it is relieved, These conjectures will disappear, and the demonized part will reappear. What's the danger? You did say that my ears are not unsightly...but I still know what comforts are."
Xia Fan was speechless.
Mingming's "illusion" just now, the characteristics of the fox demon have not disappeared, or not only have not disappeared, but they have become more vivid!
It's just that in this atmosphere, he can't tell the truth.
Lei was in a daze when he was seriously injured. He said that the other party would not care about anything, but now it is different. Under the pressure of the world, he will be output against the wind, I am afraid that he will be regarded as a pervert.
is the twists and turns on the way forward.
"By the way, it's better for you to sleep in the back room." Li's voice suddenly became a little slow. "After all, laying a floor in the hall is... weird, it may attract unnecessary suspicion from others. Anyway, like you. As said, there are two beds in it."
Xia Fan responded without hesitation.
After solving the meal problem with the dry food left in the package at night, it was time for Qingjian disciple to teach him privately.
"Did your master tell you about the composition of the Privy Council?" He has now joined the Shenzhou Privy Council, but has no idea about the structure of the organization. If he asks the receptionist, he will appear reckless. , Li became the best subject of inquiry. "For example, who does the Privy Council of each state listen to, and who are there in general?"
Li pondered for a moment, "She didn't talk much, and most of it was about Gyeonggi. Since the Privy Council became independent, it has no longer been under the jurisdiction of the six branches. No one except the emperor can intervene in the affairs of the palace."
"As far as I know, the local Privy Council is mostly divided into four departments, namely the Order Department, the Academic Department, the Finance Department, and the Record Department. Each is responsible for evil events, teaching alchemists, coordinating materials and recording documents and secret orders. Each place The position of the chief alchemist is high or low, among which the basic above Yuancheng is the most."
It seems that the general framework of the Privy Council has the meaning of imitating the six parts of the imperial court, but the difference in the background of the two sides is obvious from the name.
"If I want to inquire about your master's whereabouts, it seems that I have to find a relationship with the recording department?"
"No, you have to climb up first." Li vetoed, "Don't talk about secret documents. Even the daily documents will not be open to an eight-rank alchemist. You are asking now, but you are just throwing yourself into the net. ."
"How high do you want to climb?" Xia Fan asked.
The other party stretched out three fingers, "The lowest third grade-that is, one place to guard."
"You mean... have to climb to the same height as the one who defeated you?"
"In this way, you are entitled to know all the secrets of the local Privy Council, and can make inquiries to the Supreme Privy Council."
Xia Fan couldn’t help but slap her lips, "Doesn’t it take more than ten years?"
"Do you think that fighting against the Privy Council is like a child's play!" Li's voice was suddenly raised, and his tail stood up. "If it can be achieved in more than ten years, it will be extremely smooth, even decades... …Even if the master may no longer be there at that time, I will not forget this hatred!"
I thought it was too simple.
From the moment this guy agrees to cooperate, is he ready to make a half-life determination...
Xia Fan changed from the relaxed look of the past, "I see."
Seeing him like this, the fox demon calmed down, "Sorry...I shouldn't be so excited, so let's talk about the Privy Council."
"Hmm."
This conversation lasted for more than an hour, and just before the second watch clapper had passed, a shrill scream suddenly pierced the tranquility of the night.
The two glanced at each other, and closed their mouths unanimously.
Soon there were more screams coming ~IndoMTL.com~ During the period, there were steps and shouts.
The sound is from far to near, and for a moment it seems to come from outside the wall.
But it came fast and went fast, this chaotic noise quickly went away and disappeared to the east.
"What happened outside?" Xia Fan frowned.
"I'll go see the situation." The fox demon stood up, put on his coat again, and put on the hat.
"Pay attention to the wound, and..." He paused, "Hurry back."
Li glanced at him, turned and walked out of the hall, disappearing into the night.
Xia Fan felt a little uneasy in his heart.
, this back figure is so inconsistent that it will never return.
Should I go with her?
But the other party is a demon, with rich experience in night actions, and I am not good at flying over the walls. I am afraid it will be difficult to keep up with the other party.
It’s easy to think too much while sitting and waiting, so let’s just burn the pot of tea first and distract your attention.
Xia Fan went into the kitchen and searched for a while, and found a fairly clean porcelain jar. As soon as he left the house, he saw a dark shadow in the hall!
His hand shook, and the jar almost fell off.
"You..."
The black shadow turned around, and it was Li who took off his hat. "I'm back. Why are you like hell."
"It's too fast too!"
"Didn't you tell me to come back soon?" Li rolled his eyes, "As expected, human beings are fickle."
Xia Fan decided to stand up and be beaten, "Then...what is going on outside?"
"It's nothing," Li's eyes suddenly became a little erratic, and only a moment later replied with a lack of interest, "It's just what you humans love to do-slaughter the same kind."
