Heavenly Dao Formula

After returning to the residence, Li walked out from the dark place by the wall, "Why are you the only one who came back, did you fail to meet the person who wanted to redeem you?"

"Yes, I saw it, but things are a little different from what I thought..." Xia Fan recounted the situation of the trip, "He ate and drank there, and he didn't plan to go to the place where I took office with me. gone."

Li showed an unbelievable expression, "You two really have a master-student relationship?"

"Should... be it," Xia Fan was not too sure when asked this question, after all, the meaning of master and apprentice he knew was indeed quite different from this era, "But since he said so, let's do it Let him go."

It is enough to know that Master is not imprisoned and suffering. Considering that practitioners who are not controlled by the people are somewhat disliked in the eyes of the Privy Council, perhaps it is a better choice for him not to go with him.

"Even if this matter is over, let's have dinner first."

The inn itself provides food, although the taste is not as good as that of a special restaurant, but it is much better than the pancakes and dry food eaten on the road.

Seeing Li carefully holding the hot soup and pecking at it, Xia Fan felt that the exhaustion from traveling for several days had been reduced a lot.

Especially at the moment of swallowing the soup, the tail behind him will shake from side to side, not to mention how refreshing it is, and I am afraid that it will be bald in future generations.

It is simply incomprehensible that some people would dislike this.

Sure enough, the gap between the times is harder to cross than the Mariana Trench.

"What are you laughing at?" Li noticed something strange and asked with a frown.

"It's nothing, I just feel that foxes are worthy of belonging to the canine family, and the movements of wagging their tails are so similar."

Li's tail stood up and he hid behind him, "Why is a fox like a dog? There are so many four-legged animals with tails, and the gap between them is so obvious, let alone a demon?"

Uh...is this fried hair? Xia Fan found that the canine theory seemed to be a forbidden area for the other party, so he had to put aside his scientific research spirit for the time being, "...you seem to make sense, it seems that monsters cannot be classified so hastily."

"Isn't this obvious!" Li said in a good mood, "I thought it was strange before. Fox can say that you don't understand. The difference between wolves and dogs is so big that you humans regard the latter as derogatory. Categorize them into one category? I don't know from whom you learned such absurd knowledge!"

A book called "The Origin of Species" says so...

Xia Fan decided to put aside the controversy first, "By the way, since you are free now, teach me the knowledge of spells. You can tell me everything your master told you."

"No." The fox demon said decisively.

"Hey, what we said at the beginning—"

"A demon is an innate sense of Qi, and it was formed when it was born. No matter how much it is practiced later, it will not affect itself, but human beings can't." Li seriously explained, "Although the master didn't say much, I still remember the human body. The practice of the technique is very important to the mind, and learning one thing from the other and practicing it on the other will not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also easily affect one's own entraining qi."

"This is also the reason why disciples from aristocratic families are generally superior to Sanmen. Your master is obviously incapable of pointing you in the right direction, and the start is much slower than those people. Afterwards, the Privy Council will make up for this for new alchemists. Instead of asking me to teach you You, why not wait for half a month to learn alchemy systematically."

"Is there still such a saying... I have never heard Master mention it." Xia Fan said unexpectedly.

"If he also came from Sanmen, it's not surprising that he doesn't know. It's not easy to test his xinxing, and the supplementary materials are at least third-grade or above, and even the aristocratic family may not be satisfied." Li Dun paused. The control is extremely strict, and it is not easy for ordinary people to get in touch."

This Xia Fan is deeply touched, evil spirits are not a rare thing, but what are their specific types, and how to save themselves or avoid danger when encountering them, few people can clearly explain such basic problems. Even his master relied more on experience when dealing with evil spirits, and retreated immediately if the experience was not effective, and seldom knew what he knew in advance.

When he passed through several big cities, he asked the bookstore for relevant information, and the answer he got was that there were neither books teaching people how to identify evil spirits, nor popular books explaining qi and spells. This must be because someone has restricted the circulation of relevant information. Considering the functions and status of the Privy Council, it is the only one that can do this.

"That evil thing...do you know much?"

"Master has said a lot one after another, so it's okay to tell you." Li Tanran said, "But the Privy Council will definitely teach this in the future, are you sure you want to listen to me?"

Xia Fan nodded immediately, not to mention that he has been curious for a long time, listening to the fox demon in front of him is better than listening to the old man with white beard in the government.

"Then let's start with classification—"

Li Gang started, but a knock on the door suddenly interrupted her narration.

"Guest officer, guest officer! Are you there? There is an old lady outside who wants to see you... We persuaded her, but she said that life is at stake, and she won't go back if she doesn't see you today!"

Xia Fan couldn't help looking towards the door. In theory, he was the only person living in this room, so the "guest officer" in the other party's mouth must be referring to himself.

The problem is that he doesn't know any old lady at all...

Looking back with doubts, there was nothing in front of him - as early as the moment the door rang, the fox demon had quietly retreated into the darkness.

Xia Fan wanted to refuse, but he hesitated when he thought that his life was at stake.

After thinking for a while, he decided to ask the other party why he wanted to see him first.

Xiao Er ran away, and returned to the front of the room after a while, "Guest officer, the old lady said that Daoist Zhao asked her to come to you!"

Daoist Zhao... Could it be that she was referring to her master, Zhao Dahai?

"Let her come in and talk." Xia Fan winked at the dark place, and then ordered.

Soon Xiaoer led the old lady into the house, "I'll go down first, call me again if you need anything."

Before the old lady could sit down, she fell down at Xia Fan's feet, "Please save my daughter-in-law and my grandson!"

Xia Fan's mind buzzed for a while—although he knew that the etiquette was different in ancient times, the first time he saw someone salute him like this with his own eyes, it still gave him a great shock.

He stretched out his hand almost subconsciously, wanting to pull him up, "What are you doing... Get up!"

"I won't get up if you don't agree... Please, only you can save them in Fenghua County!"

"You have to tell me what's going on first." Xia Fan quickly regained his composure, "The sooner I know, the sooner I can come up with a solution."

After he said this, the old lady stopped crying and let him help herself to the chair.

After spending about seven or eight minutes, Xia Fan finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

In the simplest terms, there are "ghosts" in the old lady's house!
