Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 42: The culprit
When Xia Fan returned to the wing, the old lady's words of gratitude were still echoing in her ears.
"How do you feel like helping others to get rid of trouble for the first time?" The fox demon looked at him with a smile, with a hint of joking in his tone, "Do you think you have become the savior and can control the fate of others? In hand?"
"To be honest, it's pretty good." Xia Fan automatically skipped the second half of her sentence, "I know why Master took this path-compared to entering the Privy Council, wandering like this Quartet, to eliminate harm for the people, feels that it is also a not bad choice."
He realized only now that although his master had many problems, he was also a monk who could draw breath into the body anyway. The advantage of entrapment alone is enough to allow him to find a stable job in a big family or a escort, so that he will not spend most of his time like a homeless man.
The reason why Master took this path, maybe it is because of these thanks.
If it wasn't for entering the Privy Council to learn more about the mysteries of the world, he should have made the same choice as Master.
After all, things like chivalry and justice are almost everyone's illusion.
In addition, the old lady's complaint about the Privy Council also made Xia Fan quite concerned. When he wandered with Master, he heard several instances of Privy Council alchemists removing evil and protecting the safety of one party. The government also promoted the Privy Council as an institution to deal with all abnormal phenomena. This seemed to conflict with what Old Lady Tian said.
It’s just that he doesn’t have any method of verifying it now. Master never mentions this aspect. He also avoids it when he encounters an alchemist. You can probably only wait until he enters the Privy Council to know if there is any misunderstanding.
"By the way, I still don't understand." He brought the topic back to the spiritual knowledge that he was most interested in. "If a cat can become a sprite after death, isn't it possible for other animals? What chicken? Sheep and cow...There should be sprites everywhere in the streets, but my actual feelings are not like that."
This is a conservative statement. Xia Fan looked down at his palm. If you count the microbes, bacteria die in his palm every second, and new bacteria will be born. These creatures need qi to be born, and they can become sprites when they die, so the world is a bit too lively.
And how do you perceive bacteria... Cats can still see a fuzzy shadow through window paper, not to mention the microbes, and the microscope magnification is not high enough for visual inspection. It is a problem to remove it?
"There is no way to become a sprite for no reason. No matter what kind of evil spirit it is, you need to rely on strong emotions to have a chance to transform." The fox demon shook his finger, walked to the coffee table and sat down, giving himself and Xia Whenever he pours a cup of tea, "this emotion can be anger, pain, unwillingness, resentment, ecstasy and bliss, or any other feeling that is difficult to generalize."
"Just as a large number of the dead in vain can form the Great Desolate Night, although they die and their consciousness dies, but they are full of strong resentment for a long time, until they cause a vision."
She pushed the tea to Xia Fan, "Then you found the key point in this?"
Xia Fan immediately understood the meaning of her words, "The key is diversified emotions."
Li nodded, "Your response is one of the few things to be praised."
That's how it turns out... According to the fox monster, the more emotional creatures are more likely to leave traces after death. This can also be understood as the stronger the consciousness, the easier it is to have an impact on the objective world. And the microbes that were worried before, because they don't have complex consciousness, will naturally not become evil.
As far as the richness of emotion is concerned, man is definitely the head of all souls.
isn't right... Xia Fan glanced at Li, perhaps adding a demon.
It’s just that the number of monsters is much lower than that of humans, so it’s not that obvious.
can be inferred from this that the probability of transforming human qi into arrogance is much higher than that of other species, and it is more harmful.
Thinking about this, Xia Fan felt a heartfelt satisfaction, and the veil of the world seemed to fade for him again.
It turned out to be the right choice to turn the fox demon over.
But another question came to his mind.
...what is the emotion that turns a cat into a ghost?
Tian's wife seems to have said that Ahua died of illness, but animal deaths are a common occurrence. Even if livestock fell in pieces due to the plague, there was no major problem.
Xia Fan's mind suddenly flashed.
He looked at Li with a little surprise, "That cat...died not because of illness?"
The latter seems to have expected him to ask this way, "Even if you are a human, you can hardly have any idea of resisting when you know your time is about to come, let alone a cat? Want to let it stay. I am deeply impressed, but ordinary encounters are no good."
Then the answer is ready.
Only pain can impress the souls in the shortest time.
It was tortured to death.
And the perpetrator did not aim to kill it, but to prolong the painful process as much as possible-if it was only slaughtered, it would not make the fox demon say "ordinary encounters are not acceptable".
"It wasn't... Tian's wife made her own hand, right?" Xia Fan felt a little fluffy behind her back.
"This is unlikely," Li's answer made him a little relieved, "If the tabby cat died at the hands of the Tian family, and there was no time to escape before his death, how could he still wander around the house leisurely after his death. ...That woman's feelings for cats should be from the sincerity."
"That's fine." Xia Fan raised his head and drank a big sip of tea. As for who was responsible for A Hua, I am afraid that it is no longer possible to verify, and he cannot trace it to the end for a cat-after all, for people of this age In other words, animal abuse is nothing at all, let alone legal punishment, and there will be no moral condemnation.
But if you think about it, what if the real purpose of the abuser is not to torture the tabby cat, but to murder Tian's wife?
This person knows that by inflicting enough pain, there is a chance that ordinary living beings will die and become evil. Then only a little bit of attention is needed. The first scourge of evil must be the living person of the Tian family.
No... These ideas are too conspiracy theories, and there shouldn't be such a coincidence. Xia Fan shook his head and put his distracting thoughts behind him. Since no perpetrator could be found, the above guesses would always be guesses and could not be confirmed.
A sentence Li said before suddenly rang in his ear--
"Spirit is the cause~IndoMTL.com~ but not necessarily the culprit."
Did she think of this at that time?
If Ruqiu really died of physical weakness, whether it was intentional or unintentional, the person who tortured the cat would be considered a murderer.
After solving this sudden "haunted" incident, it was almost close to midnight, even Xia Fan felt a little tired. He yawned and motioned to the fox demon, "It's getting late, let's rest today."
Li nodded, got up and walked towards the back room.
approaching the door, Xia Fan called her again, "Also, what happened today...I'm sorry."
"Oh?" The fox demon glanced at him with interest. It turned out that the alchemist would also apologize to the demon. For some reason, her mood suddenly improved a lot. But this cannot be easily revealed, otherwise the other party will think that he is too easy to compromise, and he must be deeply aware of today's problems.
"You didn’t do anything wrong, why don’t you apologize. As you said, I’m helping you, not them. This is just repaying my previous life-saving grace--"
"I'm not talking about this." Xia Fan's answer surprised her, "It is clear that we helped the Tian family together, but in the end I was the only one who received their thanks. But the real meritorious person, but I can only stay behind the scenes. In other words, I own the gratitude you deserve."
"What..." After a moment, Li turned his eyes away, "I don't care about human thanks."
"I care. One day, I hope people will know that the demon helped them; one day, when you help others, you don’t have to hide in the dark." Xia Fan looked into her eyes and whispered softly. Said, "After this connection...Humans will also take the initiative to help the demon."
