Heavenly Dao Formula

What kind of complicated ethical relationship is this? Xia Fan was very surprised. Qing Jian of the Privy Council adopted a fox demon, and the fox demon wanted to take revenge on the Privy Council in order to get back his master?

Well, considering that the other party was no longer in the government when he adopted Li, it is more appropriate to count it as a personal grievance.

He doesn't know whether defection is a serious crime for the Privy Council, but since it is an internal high-level, it must be handled in the same way as the bottom-level alchemists. She said that the Privy Council would not endanger his life, and perhaps it was possible.

This also explains why a fox demon is so familiar with the Privy Council.

The master used to be Qingjian, so Na Li can at least be regarded as half of Qingjian's apprentice. If she wasn't a monster, her seniority might still be higher than the invigilator in charge of the examination!

"Why did your master escape from the Privy Council?"

"She didn't say why."

"Did she teach you everything you know about the Privy Council?"

Li nodded weakly, "It's not just that, she taught everything I know."

Xia Fan's heart suddenly moved, "Including alchemy-related knowledge?"

"I have taught a lot, and the so-called so-called techniques that only humans can master are nothing more than that, and they are not so esoteric." She squinted at Xia Fan, "Why... Do you feel offended?"

It's such a time, and I still don't forget to sneer, her master is really a good disciple.

"You don't think I'm so arrogant that I think my talent in magic is unparalleled in the world, do you?" Xia Fan spread his hands, "Even in Qingshan Town, there are a bunch of candidates who are better than me, so it's not surprising to be surpassed by the fox demon. "

"You...don't feel disgusted?" This time it was Li's turn to be surprised.

Xia Fan was a little confused for a moment, "What's the problem?"

"Are you really ignorant or are you just pretending?" Li stared at him and said, "The Privy Council stipulates that all magic in the world belongs to people, and no other kind of magic is allowed to touch it. Now the things you are proud of have been learned by demons, which are even more powerful than yours. You're better at it, don't you have any ideas?"

"None of my business." Xia Fan blurted out.

"What?"

"Uh..." Realizing the damage to his image, he hastened to make amends, "I mean, standing still will not bring you any benefits, not to mention that there is no difference between teaching and learning. Learning from each other is the best way to improve yourself."

At the same time, he was slandering in his heart, "I didn't teach you, what can I do?" You learn fast because you have the ability, is it because your ability is not as good as a monster, you have to move out of the Privy Council to threaten the other party? That's too self-deceiving. There is also the bullshit rule of the Privy Council, but the fact is that the knowledge of spells is all controlled by them, and ordinary people have no way of accessing it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to take the scholar's exam first for the sake of seeking knowledge and solving doubts.

Li was also looking at Xia Fan. She frowned slightly, which was due to the pain of the wound, and also the incomprehension from the bottom of her heart - she couldn't tell whether the other party was lying, but she could feel the indifference in the other party's tone. This is really unbelievable. Even her master showed a little hesitation when teaching her alchemy. After all, it is the basis for alchemists to surpass ordinary people. But the other party didn't seem to realize this at all—this gave Li even an illusion that in Xia Fan's eyes, he was no different from him; not only that, he was no different from those who couldn't perceive Qi .

How can this be?

The perceptual confusion left Li speechless for a long time.

She found that the more she got in touch with the other party, the less she could see through what kind of person he was.

"How about this?" Xia Fan's words interrupted her thoughts, "Let's re-discuss the matter of cooperation—the chat part remains the same, I will help you find out the whereabouts of your master, so it will be no problem, right?"

"You want... help me?"

"That's right, but correspondingly, you have to tell me what you have learned." He said bluntly, "After all, as a fox demon, it is not easy to know the whereabouts of a green sword, but if With someone in the Privy Council to take care of him, the situation will be much better. How about it, there will never be a second time this kind of opportunity is missed."

Li couldn't help opening his mouth. Most of the alchemists who wanted to join the Privy Council were either seeking power or fame, so they would unconsciously maintain the prestige and rules of the Privy Council. And this person in front of him seemed to have no loyalty to the Privy Council, and he wanted to poach his corner before entering, which was unheard of.

"Can I ask you a question?" She couldn't help asking, "Why did you take the examination?"

Xia Fan thought for a while, "Probably to step into a field I have never been to, and to see scenery I have never seen before."

An absurd answer, Li Xin thought, but for some reason, there was an inexplicable sincerity in the words.

After a long silence, she sighed softly, "If you insist on this."

"You agree?"

"The premise is that you can really pass this exam and become a member of the Privy Council."

She knew that she shouldn't agree. There was never a good end to monsters and alchemists getting too close, but the other party was right. If she wanted to challenge the Privy Council alone, the possibility of finding her master was very slim. What's more, the other party saved her life, and she has nothing else to pay for it. This may be the only choice.

"This..." Xia Fan showed a slightly embarrassed smile, "Can I pass the next examination?"

Li was stunned, and suddenly he said in a bad mood, "You dare to say big things even in the Privy Council, but you are not sure how to pass the exam?"

"The current situation is quite special," he reluctantly recounted the general situation of the examination, "No one knows what the situation is like in the Great Desolate Night in the Qingshan Formation. I can say it alone, and it may not guarantee safety if I bring you with me. "

"I see." Li Ruo thought thoughtfully, "No wonder there are so many wells under the town."

"Well?" Xia Fan asked curiously, "Is there any connection between the two?"

"Could it be that you don't know anything about Da Huang Sha Ye?" The fox raised her eyebrows, and she began to wonder if it was a mistake to cooperate with the other party.

"Hey, my situation is quite special... Has your master told you about this?"

"Of course, it will not only affect the local people, but also involve many concurrent problems. If it is not handled properly, it can easily lead to a thousand miles. It is one of the most closely monitored evil phenomena in the history of the Privy Council."

Sure enough, the fox demon's knowledge in this area far exceeds his own, Xia Fan thought, she was a disciple of Qingjian after all, even if she can't compare with the Luo family who knows everything, she must be much better than other candidates. Originally, he only wanted to learn about monsters through the other party, but he didn't expect that she would also have a lot of accumulation in spells, which can be said to be a pleasant surprise.

"Tell me about it in detail—about the Great Desolate Night."

Li took a deep breath, "Forget it, just treat it as your medical expenses for treating me."

...

Two quarters of an hour later, Xia Fan finally had a comprehensive understanding of Da Huang Sha Ye.

According to Li, it is not a rare phenomenon. Shaye appeared in many places in the last few years of Yongguo's fall. Whether it is war, famine, floods, or changes in the sky, as long as there is a sudden increase in abnormal deaths, it is possible to cause a great famine and a night of darkness.

Since the period of yin and prosperity is different in each place, it needs to be monitored by the Privy Council separately. The scale of a great wilderness night vision can last for several years to decades, until all the accumulated resentful souls are dissipated. The "resentful soul" here is also different from what he imagined. It is not the residual consciousness of the deceased, but the vision caused by the strong and rich Qi.

When this special qi spreads, it will produce an effect similar to what Wei Wushuang said, "the living die, and the dead live". The recombination of Qi and dead matter—that is, accumulation—will create chaos. This kind of matter at the beginning of the universe is not compatible with any order in the world, and its essence is beyond human comprehension. The specific manifestation is that the corpse crawls out of the ground, the dead pierces the coffin and attacks the living. Wherever they go, howling is everywhere, which is what the so-called "Great Wilderness" means.

This reminded Xia Fan of a word: zombie siege.

He also specifically confirmed to Li whether the only remaining bones could move, but he got a blank stare. The answer was that not only the bones could not move, but also the damaged and decayed corpses could not move. They just provide a shelf, and what really makes them move is the "qi" and the "accumulation" attached to them. The latter can be the surrounding objects such as soil, sand, gravel, and dead branches. When the resentful soul is strong enough, it can form itself even without a skeleton. These things are powered by qi and will disintegrate when they are exhausted, so the qi of the living is the best supplement to them.

This also made his zombie perpetual motion machine experiment shattered before it even started.

The Privy Council calls the small and medium-sized monsters in Shaye "Mei" and the big ones "Mo". However, no matter whether it is a Mei or a Mo, they have no intelligence at all and are slow to respond. Therefore, there are large cities with strong walls, or terrain. Narrow arteries have strong defense capabilities against these evil spirits. What makes it really difficult to guard against is that no one knows how many bones are buried under the town, and where new enemies will emerge.

This also caused the Privy Council to ask the Ministry of Industry to re-establish construction regulations after it became independent. The most important thing was that the cemetery should not be located in the city, at least one mile away from the outer city wall, and prisoners, unjustly deceased, and people of unknown origin were not allowed to be buried. Animal carcasses must be incinerated centrally, and those who discard them at will are considered a crime, ranging from fines to imprisonment.

Li's story opened Xia Fan's eyes, and he understood why the other party mentioned the well. Not only did the town have no city walls, but even a wooden fence could not be seen, so the secret passage under the dry well became relatively easy to defend. place. Once the advantage in numbers cannot be exerted, the threat to the fighters is not too great. If they are on the defensive, there is still hope for only one night.

"If it's really not possible...you don't have to force it." Li whispered, "I have also stayed in the underground of the town. The area available for accommodation is limited, and at most fifty or sixty people can go in. If there is more, there will be a risk of suffocation. .Since you didn’t grab the top spot, if you think about it now, the big places are already occupied by the aristocratic family... If you compete with Sanmen, you may not be able to win the opponent. And some wells are too deep... No one knows what is hidden inside What are you thinking... If you only pursue concealment and narrowness, maybe you will put yourself... in danger. If you wait another three years..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and even her breathing became weaker.

Only then did Xia Fan notice that the hair tip on Fox Demon's forehead was soaked with sweat, and it felt a little hot to the touch.

In order to finish his sentence, this guy actually braced himself for his physical discomfort and didn't even say a word...

He gently covered her mouth, interrupted her whispering, then got up and pulled down the window panel, returning the room to darkness again, "This information is enough for me, you have a good rest first, I will come back later Change your medicine. And don’t worry about the exam—I don’t need to wait three years, I’ve already found a way to pass.”
