Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 64: Clue


   That afternoon, Gaoshan County.

   "Yawn..."

  Because I haven't slept all night and are on the road continuously, even the alchemist can't help feeling a little sleepy. Wei Wushuang patted his cheeks, and said vigorously, "Finally, we are here again-although we want to find out the source of the evil, how should we proceed?"

   "You first book your accommodation for tonight, I will find someone you know about the situation." Xia Fan looked around for a moment, and then walked towards the corner.

   "Do you have any acquaintances here?" Wang Renzhi asked unexpectedly.

   "Well, I met the day the ghost was eliminated."

   "Brother Xia, was the inn yesterday OK?"

   Xia Fan didn't look back, but gave a thumbs up to show that he had received it.

   crossed the street with little traffic, turned around and turned into the alley, and Li, who had waited a step here, followed by shoulder to shoulder, and at the same time handed over a hat of the same style.

   Xia Fan kept walking, putting on the hat and asking, "No one noticed you on the road, right?"

   "No, this is not the first time I have traveled. But do you have to wear this? There is nothing to cover up, so let me prepare one more."

  "This is called identity equipment. Since we are going to investigate this secretly, we can't wear the official uniform of the Privy Council."

  "Where are we now?"

   Xia Fan glanced at the fox demon whose face was half-hidden under the black gauze, and raised her mouth slightly, "How about the knight?"

   Li stayed for a while before shaking his head and muttering, "I always feel that you have an unrealistic fantasy about me and yourself."

   "What did you say?"

   She averted her gaze, "No, it's nothing. Do you want to do it?"

  "Not yet, but there have been six evil events that required the Privy Council to be dispatched in three years, and it’s really strange that all of them are concentrated in one county. You told me that evil would not happen for no reason, and I asked Locals, there have been no major disasters in the past three years, and the weather has always been smooth.” Xia Fan analyzed, “Since such frequent evils have made some people miserable, then maybe they can ask some questions from them. Information we ignored."

  Without much effort, he found a county citizen he had "funded" the day before yesterday.

   "Hello, is there anyone in the room?" Xia Fan knocked on the door.

   "Who is it..." An old voice came from inside.

   "I am Xia Fan, I don't know--"

   "Ah, it turned out to be Grace!" The door quickly opened. Standing inside the door was a wrinkled old man who was about 60 years old-in this era, a person of this age can be called Longevity, "Thanks to your assistance, my house can be saved. Please come in, come in! Are you not on a job today?"

   "It happened to be off today, isn't Chow Tai Fook at home?" He vaguely remembered that the beneficiary should be called by this name.

   "My freak child is still busy in the fields, Eun Gong has something to look for him?"

   It turns out that this person is Chow Tai Fook's father, Xia Fan said in his heart. At the same time, he noticed the tall calluses on the other's fingers and the brownish-yellow skin exposed on the outside of his clothes. Obviously, this old man has also farmed the fields for a long time, but now he is old and can no longer take on the heavy physical work.

   "I just want to ask him some information."

   "Oh heh, then you ask me the same, I grew up here, Dafu knows, I must know all."

   "So disturbing."

  "Hey, what are you doing so politely, my little place, I’m afraid that I’m wronged by you."

   "I'll be at the door." Li La lowered the brim of his hat and cast a look at Xia Fan.

   Xia Fan nodded, bent over and walked into the house.

   The surrounding air suddenly became a lot cooler, there was not much light inside, only a few gleams of light spilled in from the roof. The feet are uneven, obviously the ground has not been treated, and the muddy soil that was used when the house was built still remains. However, under decades of treading, its surface has become pitch black and strong.

  As the old man said, this room is really small, the hall is only three or four meters square, and a set of shabby cabinets and square tables have to be stuffed. Even if you add the back room, the wood room and the latrine, it is estimated that it will not be as spacious as possible. And from this ancient furnishings, it is enough to estimate their family level. It is hard to imagine that the other party is a person who has been farming here for a lifetime.

   "En Gong, I don't have tea here, only well water to drink."

   "Water will do." Xia Fan casually found a chair and sat down.

   He staggered and scooped out a bowl of water, handed it to Xia Fan, and then returned to the threshold to sit down, "Gongong, what do you want to ask?"

  "I mainly want to know the news of the evil spirits. Do you remember what unusual things have happened in these years? Especially before and after the evil spirits appeared."

   "Well... I have to think about it." The old man muttered for a moment and began to slowly talk about the evil incidents in Gaoshan County. Although his speech speed was slow, his words were quite clear, which didn't sound difficult. understanding. This lecture lasted more than two hours, spanning nearly eight years.

   In the whole story, Xia Fan didn't get much information about the abnormal death. In addition to regular deaths such as old death and disease death, the deaths and injuries caused by neighborhood disputes, petty theft, and secret affair mentioned by the old man are also extremely limited, and they have basically been dealt with quickly by Huzhi County. If you put aside the levy of "evil tax", Hu Huairen could be regarded as a diligent parent official.

  Wei Wushuang is really right, except for the fact that it is often attacked by evil spirits~IndoMTL.com~ There has been almost no waves in the days.

   Could it be that this place is naturally suitable for nurturing animals?

   No, the evil spirit is not a feng shui theory, but is actually formed by qi, even if it is a repeated cycle of the Great Desolate Night, it must be based on tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dead.

   and Chow Tai Fook's father continued to talk about evil and evil things.

   "Push forward, it was sixteen years ago... When Dafu was just a baby. At that time, it seemed to be the Qujiang embankment, and a water ghost came to us..."

   "Wait," Xia Fan suddenly noticed something strange, "The last time eight years ago, was it sixteen years ago?"

  "I can't remember this wrong. It hasn't been long since Dafu was born. Isn't it 17 years old now."

   "Then—what about going forward?"

   "Hmm," the old man gave a pensive expression, "It's hard to remember, but it can be five or six years if you don't say it."

   The frequency difference is too much, right?

   Xia Fan felt it in his heart. If we count the evil events that the other party said, there were only two incidents eight years ago to twenty years ago, and there have been ten of them since eight years ago. Later, it is more concentrated, for example, it has accounted for six cases in the last three years.

   What happened in this?

  "So...have not seen many evil creatures in Gaoshan County before?"

   "Not really," the old man rubbed his neck, "I used to be a lot when I was young, and I probably had more than ten years of stability in the middle. But then it was better than now, at least there was no tax on evil If the princes of the Privy Council are too busy, we will also pool the money to invite the more famous Taoist leaders in the state to eliminate the disaster, but now, oh..." He sighed deeply, "A good man like you is already There are not many."
