Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 5: First acquaintance

　　 "Really... Excuse me, the several branches of the canine family are more similar, I really can't distinguish clearly..." Xia Fan sneered and shrugged, but a big wave was already in his heart.

　　 My God, he actually met a fox demon!

Master 　　 once said that demons are considered to be the less harmful type among evils. The reason is that they have their own thoughts and know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Therefore, most demons will stay away from human settlements and try to stay away from people. Deal with. Therefore, there are very few records about them. Most of the folk stories are only word-of-mouth stories, which are innumerable. At present, it is only known that they do exist and are based on the alienation of various animals.

　　 Of course, Master’s original description was not so polite, but directly called it "livestock, poultry, and beast". It is the dirty part of the air and the appearance of the world's decline.

　　"Canine? What is that?"

　　"A big category, wolves, dogs, bears, and foxes all belong to this category——"

　　 "Absurd! Can a dog be compared to a fox?" The other party interrupted him excitedly, but soon realized that his voice was too high, and then adjusted back to the original cold tone, "Don't divert the topic, human . I ask you, why are you not afraid?"

　　 "Do you mean that dream?" Xia Fan was a little embarrassed.

　　"That "nightmare". "She emphasized.

　　 "You asked me to do it?"

　　 "That's right." The fox demon didn't deny it, and responded with one bite, "Heaven descends from the sky, the blood moon is in the sky, the dead are Su Sheng, the evil spirits are possessed, aren't these things you fear the most. I just want With a little guidance, you will make up for yourself the most terrifying scene you have ever seen in your life. Even if you are scared to pee, it is normal. But why don't you see the scared?"

　　Hello, don’t be so blunt, OK?

　　 Xia Fan has roughly understood the origin of the dream at this moment. The feeling is that the other party designed a nightmare scene, adding many horror elements to it, and then let the dreamer play it on his own. In this era, even a meteor shower can be interpreted as an ominous omen, causing panic in the world, not to mention the strange changes that the night sky is stained with blood.

　　 But the problem lies in this "self-play".

　　The blood moon element is too classic, so that there are too many scenes in Xia Fan’s memory that can correspond to it. Coupled with the characteristics of the deceased’s resurrection, the most appropriate scene is actually the game Zelda's Breath of the Wild-for short A scene of monsters refreshing in "Picnic".

　　 He can't say that instead of feeling scared, he still has a trace of nostalgia and anticipation, right? After all, as soon as the blood moon came out, it meant that weapons and materials could be collected from monsters again.

　　 "This...probably it is because I have experienced it personally, so I am more calm." Xia Fan coughed.

　　"Have you ever experienced it?" The woman stared at him, "How is it possible? These should be the first things I conceived..."

　　 It seems that she is quite proud of her nightmare design.

　　"The world is so big, how do you know that there has never been a similar vision in the world?"

　　"..." The other party fell into silence, seeming to wonder if he was lying. After a moment, she turned her head, as if she wanted to leave.

　　 "Wait!" Xia Fan quickly stopped her.

　　 The woman stopped her figure and looked over impatiently.

　　 "Why are you doing such a thing? I am not the only one who has nightmares tonight?"

　　 Xia Fan admits that he is not a special person, and the fox demon is unlikely to come for him alone.

　　 "Knowingly ask." She snorted, "You plan to become alchemists, right? And the elimination of demons and demons is often used by alchemists. In other words, you will be enemies in the future. Why not?"

　　 makes sense... Is this to eliminate the "enemy" in the bud?

　　 "In that case, why don't you do it directly?"

　　 can sneak into Qingshan Town quietly, just bring a dagger, and then change the nightmare into a sweet dream, it is estimated that few people can react before being attacked.

　　 "That's because you have not yet become alchemists."

　　 "...what?" Xia Fan didn't react for a while.

　　"Is it hard to understand? You haven’t really killed a demon. Killing you just because of a possibility in the future is not a clever way. On the contrary, it will make your slander true. I won’t do anything like this. ." She said with disdain, "On the contrary, is it not the most common human behavior to kill wantonly for an inexplicable reason?"

　　 Xia Fan was dumbfounded.

　　 Are the three views of the head demon so normal these days?

　　Do not do to others what you don’t want. These eight words are simple to say, but few people can really do it. Even in the previous life where basic education has been popularized, they are stricter and more lenient than yourself. Lots of people.

　　"The Privy Council’s exams are held once every three years. To scare you away with nightmares is equivalent to reducing the number of alchemists." The other party shook his ears. "Unfortunately, it seems that this trick will not work for you."

　　 It took a long time for Xia Fan to take the words, "...Are you not afraid that I will tell other people and let your plot be shattered?"

　　 "This is the most interesting place for you." The fox demon seemed to grin open. "Alchemists are limited, and those who are scared off are disqualified. Don't your chances of passing the exam greatly increase? Besides, you Tell the truth, how many people will believe you. Those guys who were supposed to be scared away? No, they won’t admit to being deceived by a monster with such a simple trick, maybe they will hate you instead. Consider. At these two points, are you sure you still want to say something?"

　　This guy... Isn't it the first time you have done this kind of thing? He suddenly realized that perhaps he was not the only one who found something wrong with the nightmare.

　　 "Well...I won't say it."

　　 "You admit it quickly." She seemed to have expected this result a long time ago. "For human beings, as long as it is beneficial to oneself, the right or wrong of the matter itself is not important, even if the evil evil is as fearful as a tiger, as long as it is beneficial. The picture is not unavailable, let alone a demon?"

　　 After speaking, she turned to the window, ready to jump off——

　　 "Wait!" Xia Fan called again.

　　The woman's movement gave a sudden stop, and her foot almost slipped out of the window.

　　 When she turned her head this time, she looked a little angry.

　　 "If you want to delay time--"

　　"Why can't the demon cooperate?" Xia Fan said confidently, "To be honest, I have never seen a real demon before, but if the demon are as reasonable, righteous, and polite as you, there will be cooperation. What's the problem?"

　　 "Know the righteousness... know how to be polite?" The fox demon looked a little dazed.

　　"I don’t want to do things that add sin to desire and sin. This is righteous. When I call you, stop. This is respect for the person talking. Of course, it is a sign of politeness. And 魍魉Ghosts can neither communicate nor stop harming the people just because they are wrong. It is obviously unfair to compare yourself with them, so I have to correct your statement."

　　 "..." This time the dumb person was replaced by the other party.

　　 Xia Fan will naturally not let this opportunity pass. He took advantage of the situation and pursued, "In addition, you mentioned slander before, which shows that people have certain stereotyped prejudices against demons, but is your view of people a kind of prejudice? Even if most of them are unsightly, there will always be exceptions-you can understand the human language, and there should be someone who teaches, then this first teacher? Is it the type of person in your mouth?"

　　 For a moment, he caught a trace of softening in the opponent's eyes.

　　 But soon, the fluctuation disappeared without a trace, as if it were just an illusion. "A savvy man."

　　 "Thank you, I brush my teeth every day."

　　 The woman snorted, "You have said so much, you just want me to help you secretly, so that you can pass the exam more easily, right? Unfortunately, I am not interested in whether you can pass the exam, and I won’t be with you. People who want to become alchemists cooperate. You should save the time—"

　　 "If you have time, come over and chat with me at night." Xia Fan said unhurriedly.

　　 "Ahem," the fox demon almost didn't get choked, "What...what did you say?"

　　"The content of the collaboration." He said with a calm face, "If you have nothing else to do. As for when you come, you have the final say, just treat it as a rest time after scaring people."

　　 The other party still has some doubts about what he heard, "Talk to... God?"

　　"Since it is a cooperation, of course it won't let you do it for nothing." Xia Fan picked up a cloth bag on the table and spread it out in front of her, "This is the reward for chatting, what do you think?"

The braised beef wrapped in 　　 is the braised beef from Wei Wushuang before.

　　 I have to say that the craftsmanship of the shop in this remote town is actually quite good. Not only is the stewed flavor strong, but the beef slices are also cut very vigorously. He originally planned to save some of it until tomorrow.

　　 When the candle was lit, Xia Fan noticed that although the other party was aggressive, she was wearing a crumpled linen cloth~IndoMTL.com~ Maybe as a monster, her tolerance in the wild was far beyond ordinary people, and She doesn't care about the sun and rain, the wind, meals, and sleepless nights, but that doesn't mean she has no preferences or enjoyment, especially when she has obviously been taught by humans.

　　 "Guru."

　　 Xia Fan heard a slight creeping sound.

　　 "I don't know what to say!" The fox demon forced himself to look away, "Enough, human, I have no time to listen to your nonsense, keep these things for you to eat!"

　　 After saying that, she quickly jumped out of the window. She seemed to be agile because she was afraid that he would yell "wait" again.

　　 Xia Fan hurriedly climbed onto the table and said to the dark night outside, "Whether you come or not, I put the beef on the window sill. Remember to come and get it when you are finished!"

　　 After a long time, there was no more response in the quiet night.

　　 really left.

　　 Xia Fan sat back on the bed with a little regret, still not calming down.

　　 He has heard from Master that if you encounter monsters, it’s best to avoid them. There are few records about monsters in the folk. The main reason is that they rarely come into contact with humans, but from another explanation, it may be Everyone who has seen a demon is dead.

　　 To say that there is no tension or guard, that is self-deception. In fact, Xia Fan has always been ready to take out the medicine packet from his pocket. In case of any unexpected situation, he can release the spell as soon as possible—even though it will play a role in the end, he feels a little bit in his heart. There is no bottom.

　　 But he is more excited and curious than nervous.

　　How to understand the unknown? Obviously close to the unknown in person. This is also the main reason why Xia Fan participated in the examination.

　　 had the opportunity to talk to a fox demon at close range, how could he easily let it go?

　　 I just don’t know if the other party will come back...
