Chapter 38: "Ghost"

Back to the residence, Li walked out from the shadow of the wall, "How come

you are the only one who came back, didn't you succeed in seeing the person

you want to redeem?"

"I saw it, but things are a bit different from what I thought..." Xia Fan

recounted the situation of the trip, "He eats and drinks over there, and he

doesn't plan to go to office with me. Up."

Li showed an unbelievable expression, "You two are really a teacher-student

relationship?"

"Should... be it," Xia Fan was not sure about this question. After all, the

meaning of mentoring and apprenticeship he knew was quite different from this

era. "But since he has said so, let it go. Let him go."

It is enough to know that Master has not been imprisoned to suffer.

Considering that uncontrolled practitioners in the private sector are somewhat

unwelcome in the eyes of the Privy Council, perhaps it is better for him not

to go with him.

"This matter is over, let's have dinner first."

The inn itself provides meals. Although the taste is not as good as that of a

special restaurant, it is much better than the pancakes and dry food you eat

when you are on the road.

Seeing Li cautiously holding the hot soup, Xia Fan felt that the exhaustion of

the few days on the road was reduced a lot.

Especially when I swallowed the soup, the tail behind me would sway from side

to side, not to mention how refreshing, I am afraid that I will be bald in

later generations.

There are still people who will dislike this, which is simply

incomprehensible.

As expected, the chasm of the era is more difficult to bridge than the Mariana

Trench.

"What are you laughing at?" Li frowned and asked, realizing the strangeness.

"It's nothing, I feel that the fox deserves to belong to the canine family,

and even the movements of the tail wagging are so similar."

Li's tail was brushed up and hid behind him, "Where is the fox like a dog?

There are so many four-legged animals with tails, and the gap between them is

so obvious, let alone the demon?"

Uh...Is this fried hair? Xia Fan found that canine theory seemed to be the

forbidden area of the opponent, so he had to temporarily put aside his

scientific research spirit, "...you seem to make sense, and it seems that

monsters cannot be classified so hastily."

"Isn't this obvious!" Li said in a very angry voice, "I thought it was strange

before. Fox can say that you don't understand. The difference between wolf and

dog is so big that you humans regard the latter as derogatory. Put them into

one category? I really don't know from whom you learned such absurd

knowledge!"

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

Xia Fan decided to put aside the controversy first, "By the way, since I am

free now, teach me the knowledge of spells. You can tell me what your master

tells you."

"No," the fox demon said decisively.

"Hey, I said it was okay at the beginning—"

"A demon is a person who is innately emotional. It has been formed at birth.

No matter how you train it later, it will not affect you. Humans cannot." Li

explained earnestly, "Although the master doesn't say much, I still remember

people. The practice of the Chinese is very focused on the heart, learning

from the East and practicing the other with the West not only gets twice the

result with half the effort, but also easily affects one's own Qi."

"This is also the reason why disciples of aristocratic families are generally

better than Sanmen. Your master obviously has no ability to show you the

direction. The start is much slower than those people. Later, the Privy

Council will make up for the new alchemists instead of letting me teach You,

it is better to wait for half a month to learn alchemy systematically."

"Is there any such saying... I have never heard Master mention it." Xia Fan

said unexpectedly.

"If he also came from the Sanmen, I don’t know. It’s not surprising. It’s not

easy to test the xinxing, and the auxiliary materials are at least Grade 3 or

higher, and even the noble family may not be able to satisfy it." Li paused,

"Of course the other point is the Privy Council’s response to this

information. The control is extremely tight and it is not easily accessible to

ordinary people."

This Xia Fan deeply felt that evil spirits are not rare things, but which

types of them are, and how to save themselves or avoid danger when they

encounter them. Few people can explain this basic problem. Even his master

relied more on experience when dealing with evil spirits. He would retreat

immediately if experience was not effective. He rarely knew what he knew

beforehand.

When he passed through several big cities, he asked the bookstore for relevant

information, and the answer was that there were no books to teach people how

to identify evil spirits, and there were no popular books on Qi and magic.

This must be because someone has restricted the flow of relevant information.

Considering the functions and status of the Privy Council, it is the only

thing that can do this.

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

"Master has said a lot one after another, it's okay to tell you." Li said

calmly, "but the Privy Council will definitely teach this afterwards, are you

sure you want to listen to me?"

Xia Fan nodded immediately, not to mention that he had been curious for a long

time. Listening to the fox demon in front of him said that it is better than

listening to the uncle white beard in the government.

"Then let's start with the classification--"

Li just turned her head, when a knock on the door suddenly interrupted her

narration.

"Guguan, guest! Are you there? There is an old lady outside who wants to see

you... We tried to persuade you, but she said that life is a matter of life,

and I won’t go back if I don’t see you today!"

Xia Fan couldn’t help but look to the door. In theory, he is the only one

living in this room, so the "guest officer" in the other party's mouth must

refer to himself~www.mtlnovel.com~ The problem is that he doesn't know any old

lady...

turned around with doubts, and his front was already empty-as early as the

moment the door rang, the fox demon silently retreated into the darkness.

Xia Fan originally wanted to refuse, but he hesitated when he thought that

life was shut down.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask the other party why he wanted

to see him.

Xiao Er ran away, and returned to the front of the room after a while, "Guest,

the old lady said that Dao Chang Zhao asked her to come to you!"

Daochang Zhao... Does she mean her master, Zhao Dahai?

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

Soon Xiao Er introduced the old lady into the house, "I'm going down first,

you can call me if you have anything else."

Before sitting down, the old lady lay down at Xia Fan's feet, "Please save my

daughter-in-law and my grandson!"

Xia Fan's mind buzzed slightly-although he had known that ancient etiquette

was different, the first time he saw someone bowing to him, it still gave him

a great shock.

He stretched out his hand almost subconsciously, trying to lift the opponent,

"What are you doing... Get up!"

"If you don't agree, I won't get up... Please, only you in Fenghua County can

save them!"

"You have to tell me what's going on first." Xia Fan quickly recovered his

calm, "The sooner I know, the sooner I can figure out a solution."

When he said that, the old lady stopped crying and let him help herself to the

chair.

It took about seven or eight minutes, and Xia Fan finally asked to understand

the ins and outs of this matter.

To put it in the simplest terms, there is a "ghost" in the old lady's home!
