Chapter 4: fox

Facts prove that Xia Fan's choice is correct.

When he mentioned this to the store, he realized that there were only a

handful of rooms that were still vacant. Among them, the big head had been

reserved by the children of the family, and the rest were either the first-

class wing rooms with high prices, or the small rooms on the ground floor with

poor ventilation and lighting. room.

In addition, even the smallest single-bed room is charged as much as one or

two silver a day. This price is similar to that of a large inn in Gyeonggi,

and it seems to have an attitude of killing guests.

Xia Fan now finally understands why the invigilator should write "not to

interfere in the daily life of the villagers" in the examination rules. If

this kind of "black shop" moves outside, I'm afraid it will be smashed in a

few days.

According to this line of thought, it is speculated that the three meals a day

provided by the store may also be "scenic price". If you don't plan carefully,

you will not be able to end the exam.

The disciples of the Damen School are not short of money, but under the

restrictions of the rules, silver has also become an important resource.

Whether to use it to maintain their own good condition or to exchange

information, it is up to the examinee to judge.

Xia Fan found that he seemed to understand the thinking of the test organizer.

Compared with the scientific examinations you ask me to answer, or the martial

arts examinations when you pick up weapons, the Shikao is obviously more

focused on the comprehensive ability of the candidates.

It is more free, but there are more things to consider, and the answer is not

only the only solution, as long as it does not violate the rules, it can do

anything.

For people of this age, this kind of test method may be very strange, but for

Xia Fan, it is not surprising-he prefers this kind of method that depends on

individual performance more than simply testing the ability of spells. .

He took out two and a half dollars and directly booked a three-day house, plus

dinner tonight.

Hurrying from Fenghua County to Qingshan Town can be described as a rush all

the way. Now that there is plenty of time, it is better to take a good night's

rest and restore the state to perfection.

Back to the room, Xia Fan couldn't help but curl his lips.

It is worthy of the house that everyone picked up. I don’t know whether it has

a size or not. A narrow bed and a wooden table are all the furniture. The

floor is slightly higher, almost three meters above the ground, so that the

windows are open so high that you can't reach it without stepping on the

table. You can't even think about enjoying the outside scenery while

practicing.

But the room as a whole is very clean. There are no cobwebs in the corners of

the beams and no dust at the foot of the bed. It is undoubtedly much better

than those unmaintained thatched houses. It seems that the Privy Council’s

money is not in vain. Another advantage is that it is located at the end of

the aisle on the first floor, on the corner of the entire hotel, which is

considered the quietest place in the store, very suitable for spiritual

practice.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan simply put down the package and climbed into bed to

meditate.

Since he was adopted by the cheap master, this kind of training has never

stopped. No matter how hot, cold, rainy or snowy, it has been 15 years.

This is also the way to get started in the world—inducing air into the body.

It is very cliché to say, but the ancestors believed that the universe was

first opened, chaos turned into two, the most important thing is

"accumulation", and the sinking is the dead thing. The light is "qi", which

floats all over the world and condenses into living beings. Although living

things are born with qi, they also lose the vitality of qi. Therefore, if you

want to strengthen yourself, you must re-master the method of incorporation

into qi, so that it can continuously wash itself before re-establishing

contact with qi.

This set of theories is quite similar to the theory that Dao produces one, one

life two, two produces three, and three life all things. It seems extremely

idealistic, but the problem is that Qi does exist.

In fact, whether or not you can perceive qi is the prerequisite for entering

the alchemist threshold.

Xia Fan still remembers the night when he "saw" Qi under the guidance of the

Master—under the sky full of stars, suddenly something more striking than the

stars appeared. They were not like clouds and mist, but more like another kind

of stars: The spots of light flickered with each other, fluttered with the

wind, densely packed, countless. Only when they are far away can they be

connected to form a Qi state.

is the day when his original common sense was shattered.

A series of questions came to mind, like an erupting volcano, he almost tried

his best to prevent these questions that were obviously beyond the age range

from blurting out.

And he knew in his heart that even the master might not be able to give a

satisfactory answer.

Since then, Xia Fan has invested a lot of energy in cultivation.

I meditate day after day, even if I am hungry, I don’t leave to practice, I

learn how to draw talisman, learn everything about alchemist knowledge. Even

the cheap master, who is not very caring about everything, was shocked by his

performance. He also said that the capable people in this world are geniuses

who do not know how much, but they can have such perseverance and

understanding when they were young. Can't pick one.

Only Xia Fan knows that he has nothing to do with genius. Comprehension comes

from systematic education, and perseverance is only the companion of age.

Yes, he once lived in a completely different world, and everything about that

side in his memory is vivid.

It's just that he can't remember how he came to this era.

There does not seem to be a clear boundary between the two, as if it was a

blink of an eye, and as if a long time has passed, when he opened his eyes

again, he had become an orphan rolling in the mud.

Even the name Xia Fan was taken by him from past memories.

Fortunately, the cheap master did not delve into this point.

Probably he thinks that it is not too rare for a three-year-old child to

remember the name given by his parents.

With the ability to learn one step ahead, Xia Fan quickly gained an overall

understanding of the world.

Because living beings are born from Qi, it means that consciousness is born

before the body. Similarly, after the body dies, consciousness will not

necessarily return to the state of Qi. In some special circumstances,

consciousness can exist independently, or evolve into something else, such as

sprites and ghosts. If left untreated, they will continue to grow in the air

and eventually harm the world.

Although Xia Fan hasn't seen a monster that can really harm a place, he has

also solved some small evils with Master, confirming that they are not folk

stories.

In addition, he has been able to truly feel the changes in his body since he

has practiced Qi-entraining—whether it is strength, reaction, vision, and

hearing, they are far better than ordinary people. In other words, if it

weren't for these changes, he really wouldn't have been able to wander all the

way with Master in an era when the medical level was poor and he might die in

a rain, and he would live tenaciously to this age.

This kind of improvement visible to the naked eye can be said to further

stimulate his motivation to practice.

If weight loss with a reward for every sweat is the world’s least

disappointing investment, then exercises that can increase the limit of the

body are obviously more worthy of attention.

After entering the training state, Xia Fan felt that those tiny stars were

merging with him. Through them, his consciousness seemed to have an infinite

extension space. Each breath seemed to come from himself and from world.

This sitting for several hours.

After eating the dinner delivered by the store, he continued to return to the

air-entraining state, which lasted until late at night.

Unfortunately, you need to concentrate when you feel the breath. It is not a

substitute for rest, nor can you train while sleeping, so you still have to

close your eyes obediently when you fall asleep.

Just half asleep and half awake, Xia Fan suddenly felt a little strange.

He opened his eyes abruptly, but found that the window hanging high above his

head was opened somehow, revealing a blood-red light and shadow from outside

the window.

This...what happened?

He grabbed the wooden sword in his hand, stepped on the table cautiously,

stood on his toes and looked out the window——

I saw a round of red moon rising above the dome, dyeing the earth into

scarlet!

At the same time, there was an abnormal change in the small town-there were

many soil packs on the ground, and these soil packs were pushed a little bit

by bit, and bones crawled out from the ground, making a terrifying cry.

Xia Fan couldn't help being taken aback.

This scene seems to be familiar.

And those skeleton monsters, no matter how they look, reveal a touch of

cuteness.

Wait, cute?

One of the skeletons found it, turned around and jumped up, rushing towards

the window!

The next moment, Xia Fan sat up in shock and found that he was still lying on

the bed.

Is this... a dream?

If it is a dream, it would be too real. Both the clarity and the sound feel

far exceed the dream state, and I can remember all the details even after

waking up.

He unconsciously raised his head and looked out the window, then his heart

tightened slightly.

The window was indeed opened, UU read www.uukanshu.com, and there was

something more in the window-it took him a few seconds to adapt to the dark

environment before distinguishing the outline of the black shadow.

It was a figure sitting by the window, and his eyes were focused on him. The

reason for saying this is because in the pitch black, the most conspicuous are

the golden eyes that reflect the weak light.

Xia Fan realized in an instant that this strange dream was related to the

person in front of him.

"Could it be... you are also a picnic fan?"

"Picnic? What is that-wrong, why are you not afraid?" Unexpectedly, the other

party responded quickly, and the voice was actually a...female, even though

the tone sounded cold.

Why should I be afraid of a group of Q-version skeletons?

Xia Fan didn't know how to answer.

However, the other party was willing to speak, and he was slightly relieved.

If the visitor is full of malice, he shouldn't wait until he opens his eyes

again.

He fumbled, took out the fire folds from the clothes at the foot of the bed,

blew out the sparks and lit the candles on the table. The dim flames instantly

dispelled the twilight in the room and also let him see the other side.

The person who came was not a human being-this was the first recognition in

Xia Fan's heart.

Although "she" does look like a woman, the pricked ears on the top of her head

are too eye-catching.

If the other party is not a fan, this kind of mixed with non-human

characteristics is generally called 魑, or demon.

"Dog?" Xia Fan asked tentatively.

no respond.

"Cat?"

The eyes that can reflect light at night are really like cats.

is still silent.

"Wolf?" He guessed again.

"Enough, it's a fox!" Her voice finally fluctuated.
