Heavenly Dao Formula

Wei Wushuang's face froze suddenly, he looked at Shangguancai, then at Xia Fan, not knowing what to say.

"No." At this point, Xia Fan has nothing to hide. "I have thought about this question. Even if the Privy Council doesn't know the specific situation, it can definitely guess."

The formation of evil spirits is related to strong qi. Since qi is the will of living beings, it is an obvious inference that there are a large number of abnormal deaths in Gaoshan County. Even he knew this, and it was impossible for the Privy Council to be unaware. In fact, when he was having a conversation with the Ministry of Command, he had already sensed that the other party was trying to divert the topic to another direction, but at that time he did not have any evidence, nor There is no real assurance, so I did not refute it on the spot.

After all, there is no right to speak without investigation.

The fellow townsman was surprised, "Then why didn't the Privy Council pay attention to this? Even if you can't interfere in government affairs, it's still feasible to inform the State Shepherd's Office and let them investigate, right?"

"I think... I'm afraid they don't want to ban evil spirits."

"Hmph," Shangguan Cai chuckled, "So you've noticed it too."

"What do you mean?" Wei Wushuang asked puzzled.

"Think about what the judge said." Xia Fan sighed, "That's the answer."

——"Civilian promotion depends on political achievements, what do we rely on? Isn't it the credit of these monsters and demons?"

"If the evil spirits in a place are wiped out, wouldn't the alchemists just sit in the mansion and waste time?"

"Days with evil spirits are good days!"

He didn't take it seriously at first, alchemists like meritorious deeds of eliminating evil, just like sergeants love military exploits, there is nothing wrong with their mentality. But the deeper the investigation, the stronger the uneasiness in his heart, and the Privy Council may have crossed that bottom line.

The reason for the upper echelons to sit idly by is precisely this achievement - it can bring promotion and maintain the influence of the Privy Council.

"No way..." the fellow villager could only murmur.

Xia Fan thought more deeply.

He still remembered the cause of death of the former magistrate mentioned by the old man of the Zhou family.

Being entangled in something unclean... and finally died of illness.

For example, the ghost he had encountered before.

If the handler is professional enough, this kind of invisible evil can completely drain a person's vitality without knowing it.

"It's okay to offend the magistrate, but if you offend the Privy Council, I'm afraid the rest of your life will be very miserable. You don't want to live the life of wandering like before, do you?" Shangguancai said frankly, "The only way to pay off now is to stop. In time - the Privy Council is still not aware of this matter, and for Huzhi County, it is just the death of two subordinates. If you don't go to him, he will definitely not provoke you in turn. In short, I finally became a As an alchemist, I don't want to give up this great future, so... I quit."

"I understand." Xia Fan nodded.

"You don't blame me?"

"I understand you. If I hadn't seen something else, I probably would have made the same choice as you."

Shangguan Cai's pupils suddenly shrank, "The other things... what are they?"

"You said before that the world is like this, but the so-called world is just created by people themselves. Everyone—including you and me."

After speaking, Xia Fan looked at Wei Wushuang, "No matter what you choose, I have no objection. You have helped me a lot, thank you."

"Brother Xia..."

Without waiting for the other party's answer, he turned and walked towards the county seat.

"Hey," Shangguan Cai frowned, "You don't really want to be on the Privy Council's wanted list, do you? Once you step into the magistrate's mansion, there is no turning back!"

Xia Fan waved his hand and quickly left the sight of the two.

And beside a big tree beside the road, he saw a familiar figure.

"Did you hear it all?"

"Yeah." Li Zheng straightened his bamboo hat and followed, "I reminded you."

"Yes, you knew it earlier than me."

"But I didn't expect you to actually find out the results."

"Without your help, it would not have been so smooth."

"It's good to know."

Xia Fan hesitated, "Are you going with me?"

"Otherwise," Li asked back.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the Privy Council."

"You don't want to study alchemy anymore?"

"no."

"Is that to help the people of Gaoshan County?"

"Not all... partly for myself."

"yourself?"

"Well, to put it in a more clichéd way, it means that the thoughts are not clear, which hinders the practice."

"I've never heard such a saying," Li said bluntly, "Even when you are angry, you can still entice yourself."

"Ahem... Actually, I can't pass my own level." Xia Fan decided to tell the truth, "I can't take the elimination of evil spirits as a meritorious service to climb up, and the main source of funds, especially after knowing the origin of these evil spirits. Finally. So... sorry, secretly helping you inquire about Master's whereabouts in the Privy Council—"

Li interrupted, "If you can't become an alchemist, will you continue to assist me in rescuing Master?"

"certainly."

"Then there is no need to apologize, because the basis of our cooperation from the beginning is that you are willing to help me, not because you are an alchemist." At this point, the fox paused for a while, "Also, I have to confess one thing. "

"What's up?"

"Although I didn't want you to pursue it at the beginning, but now that the situation has become like this, I don't feel too much annoyed—or, on the contrary, I feel a little relieved."

Xia Fan was taken aback for a moment, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the fox demon. What caught his eyes was her golden eyes and the natural smile on the corner of her mouth.

"By the way, my injury is healed."

This sentence is quite a "beef, I ate" posture.

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

"So we can run faster." After saying that, Li grabbed Xia Fan, clamped him directly around his waist, ran two steps and jumped up!

He felt himself fly in an instant——

In the case of carrying a person, the fox demon has raised the speed to a higher level with only their legs, and they are no longer advancing along the road, but jumping on the roof of the room; are pointing the way.

Is this the real power of the fox demon?

Xia Fan simply let go of his hands and let her run fast with him in his arms.

Although his posture was not very elegant, since no one would see it, he decided to help the other party. For some reason, he felt that Li, who was running with all his strength, seemed a little different from before.

"If you fail, have you figured out where to go?" Li's voice echoed in the wind.

"Not yet." Xia Fan also replied loudly, "But the world is so big, there are always places they can't find!"

"I think so." She hugged Xia Fan tightly, "Get ready, we're here!"

With the help of a long run-up, the two stepped on the end of the main ridge of the last house, jumped high, directly crossed the street and the courtyard wall, and fell into the magistrate's mansion from midair.
