Heavenly Dao Formula

Followed by an overnight drive.

Compared with the fast-paced arrival journey, the return journey will be much slower - because Luo Youer's injuries are serious, they can only call in a horse-drawn carriage to transport them; at the same time, considering that the medical level in Gaoshan County is obviously not as good as that of Jinxia City, the sooner the injuries are The better the treatment, so nocturnal travel becomes the only option.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong along the way, and Xia Fan and his party arrived at Jinxia City smoothly when the sky turned pale.

The next step is to notify the Privy Council.

The government messenger who was in charge of handling logistical matters quickly picked up Luo You'er. On the way, Shangguan Cai had roughly checked her injuries, and concluded that her ribs and arms were broken—especially the parts directly hit by the evil spirits had already swelled up, and an ordinary person would probably need amputation. But for the alchemist, as long as she is treated in time, there is a high probability that she will recover as before.

This also made Xia Fan slightly relieved.

He was also very curious, where did Shangguancai learn his pistol skills and his way of fighting without using alchemy at all.

The latter answered that he had served in the Daqi army.

Those who can train in the army at this age before taking the military examination are definitely not ordinary soldiers. Even if her family background is not obvious, she is at least a general.

"Master Xia, Master Yuan, who is in charge of the command department, asked you to come in and ask questions."

coming.

Although this operation successfully wiped out the evil spirits in Gaoshan County, it also damaged two people. One of them was a sixth-grade Taoist, and the Privy Council will definitely intervene in detail.

And he also wanted to take this opportunity to ask why there were two evil spirits in Gaoshan County without any warning or sign.

Compared with other evil spirits, the formation of a ghost is definitely not a matter of a day or two. It uses a corpse as its cornerstone, but it doesn't mean that any corpse can become a ghost. Especially dangerous monsters like the blood crow, according to Li's previous statement, I'm afraid they must gather a lot of restlessness.

Entering the lobby of the command department, Xia Fan immediately felt a sense of austerity.

Whether it is the spectator seats on the left and right or the chief seat in the center, there are high platforms, so that people standing under the stage can only raise their heads and look up at the interrogator. This visible class gap made Xia Fan, who was used to treating each other as equals, feel uncomfortable, but he also knew that this was not a place where he could do whatever he wanted. Master Zhang and the divine judge don't mind etiquette, but it doesn't mean that all alchemists are like this, especially since the command department is already a fifth-rank tester, it's better for him to act cautiously.

Walking to the chief's table, Xia Fan bowed his hands and made a standard salute, "Xia Fan, I have met Mr. Eng."

"It turned out to be you." Yuan Zheng picked up his teacup and took a shallow sip, "I heard from the other three that it was your outstanding performance that kept the team from being completely wiped out. Now that we see each other, it's not a bad idea." A young man."

"Your honor."

Naturally, Xia Fan didn't take these compliments to heart. The other party looked like he was only in his forties. To be able to do a movie at this age, both talent and ability were indispensable. This person has dealt with more evil cases than Master Qi has ever heard of, so he must concentrate on dealing with them carefully.

"Although I have already heard your teammates tell it, I still want to hear from you what happened. Can you tell me from the beginning?"

"Of course, this is the duty of a subordinate official." Xia Fan slowly said the "details" he had prepared - from setting up the ambush ghost to the appearance of the blood crow, the process can be said to be no problem, except that What is prudent is what happens next: he must tell the story reasonably and at the same time conceal the existence of the fox demon.

As early as last night, he had already conceived the details. Needless to say, such unverifiable things as lightning strike wood, as long as they are used up. The reason why he was able to move in the shadow of the Blood Raven all depended on the newly mastered spell "Streamer". By making preparations for performing spells on yourself in advance, without using introductions and charms, and relying on will alone to activate a shock spell, although the power is extremely small, it can stimulate the mind to wake up.

This is not made up by Xia Fan, but Li said that "the blood crow blocks the connection between consciousness and body" to immobilize people, so the electric current that hits the body theoretically has a chance to break through such a block, just like a heart attack. A pacemaker uses pulses to intensify the electrical signals that make heart muscle cells beat.

As for how to control the power of the spell without causing the tragedy of stunning yourself, that is another topic.

At least it is feasible in principle.

The Privy Council attaches great importance to the description of principles.

"I see, is it possible to break the immobilization through self-stimulation?" Yuan Zheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help sitting up straighter, "It's thanks to you that you can think of this. In the past incident records, some alchemists used pain to The method of regaining control of the body is similar to your method."

"I'm just going to give it a go."

"There are so many people who want to fight hard in the face of desperation, but the successful ones who can be recorded are always a small number." He shook his head, "You don't know, the method of breaking the barrier is very important, and the pain is severe. It may be effective, but the cost is also very high. For example, the alchemist I mentioned could not be rescued in the end. But you provided another way of thinking. Once it is verified as effective by the above, this achievement is undoubtedly more important than killing evil spirits. big."

"By the way, Wei Wushuang once mentioned that you disappeared for a while, and then reappeared from the shadows. What happened at that time?" Yuan Zheng changed the question.

"It's a mouse." Xia Fan said calmly, "I noticed a mouse running past the corner of the wall behind me, and it was not affected by the evil at all, so I simply tried it."

"When you found out that you were out of control, didn't you think about running away alone?"

"To be honest, I have indeed considered it. But as an alchemist of the Privy Council, I cannot leave my companions behind and flee alone with my back to the evil spirits."

Yuan Zheng seemed very satisfied with this answer, and the corners of his mouth turned up, "Yes, I am very glad to see that none of you four gave up on anyone. Then the last question, when the second ghost appeared, did all of you Trapped in place, the one who rescued you was the candlestick that suddenly fell down. What’s going on? You didn’t mention this detail in your previous statement.”

The moment these words came out, Xia Fan felt that he was being followed by a terrifying aura, and the atmosphere in the lobby turned sharply down, as if the other party's previous kindness was all in disguise.

Who is this Lengtouqing who confessed such an inconspicuous matter?

While slandering, he pretended to be uncomfortable and said, "Xiaguan... I don't know. They even told me about the candlestick falling down. Because I don't know anything, Xiaguan wants to tell the truth. Reliable, so I didn't mention it."

"Don't know" is the standard answer.

Since everyone didn't know, he just said he didn't know, and the Privy Council couldn't check it out—after all, no one can say for sure about luck.

After a short silence, the oppressive breath disappeared.

"I guess it's probably a frightened wild cat. I have to say, you guys are really lucky." Yuan Zheng closed the record book, and Fu Xu sighed, "Although the government has suffered losses, I have also seen outstanding and promising people. For the new generation, it is this kind of alternation that has made the Privy Council grow up to this day. Alright, that’s all for now. I’ll tell the academic department to give you three days off. Go down and have a good rest. Another reward Ling will arrive in a few days, so I would like to congratulate everyone in advance."

This is the end?

Xia Fan blinked in disbelief. He originally thought that the death of a sixth-rank Taoist and a new alchemist would cause the Privy Council to investigate the matter thoroughly, but judging by the attitude of the staff, it seemed that he planned to end it here. .
