Chapter 47: Fox Demon Training

After coming out of the Privy Council, he went to rent an apartment that Xia

Fan was most familiar with.

What the reception officer said is true. Not far from the east of the Privy

Council, there is indeed an area that is also enclosed by a wall. You need to

show a bronze badge to enter.

The houses inside are much the same. They are all bungalows with yards, and

there are almost a hundred of them. Judging from the empty dirt road, the

occupancy rate here is not high. Obviously, alchemists with a little status

will not live here, but choose to go to a better location in Jinxia City.

After all, the sea is also east of the city. The closer to this side, the more

obvious the smell of firewood in the air.

But the house price is really cheap. A house only charges one or two silver

every three months. Compared with the black shops in Qingshan Town, I don’t

know where it is cheaper.

According to the standards of later generations, this can be regarded as a

rural villa area.

Xia Fan quickly picked his favorite residence-a house located on the edge of

the fence and at the end of the dirt road. It is still a location that is not

easily noticeable in and out, and can quickly climb over the fence when

necessary. Since he decided to bring the fox monster, he had to make a certain

cut in the convenience, and it was always right to have peace of mind.

Wei Wushuang chose a house next to Xia Fan. With his family's financial

resources, he could obviously live in a restaurant instead of coming to a

place where he had to settle for food and clothing.

But when he saw that Li was about to walk into the same house, his expression

became very exciting.

"You... don't you live separately? The residences here only have one

bedroom..."

"Ah, what's the problem? She and I are disciples of the same family, and we

often squeeze a blanket when we are wandering." Xia Fan pretended to take it

for granted, "Senior brothers and sisters are like this, not to mention that

the bedroom can be fully packed. Get off another bed."

Wei Wushuang opened his mouth several times, and finally he only said "Brother

Xia...I, I envy you!"

Walking into the house, Xia Fan blinked at the fox demon, "Ahem, this is an

excuse necessary to cover."

"Then do you really want to?" the latter asked abruptly.

"What?" He was taken aback.

"You saved my life after all... My body is no different from humans except for

the ears and tail. If you don't mind, I can't." She turned her head and raised

her eyes slightly. , "I remember you said that my ears are not ugly, right..."

Although she did not make too many expressions, it was this squinting glance

that was extremely charming-unlike the kind of pretended sultry, her low groan

did not have the meaning of desire, but it seemed to go straight to the bottom

of her heart, flicking every sentence on her heartstrings. general.

what's going on?

Is it really good to drive before it gets dark!

Xia Fan felt a huge amount of information suddenly flooded into his head, and

the battle between heaven and humans escalated from a verbal confrontation to

a fist to a physical fight in a short period of time.

Is it too hypocritical to decline at this time?

It said that demons and humans are treated equally, isn’t it the time to

prove——

Animals are not as good as anything, he thinks he is not that kind of person.

Take ten thousand steps, this is also a rare opportunity to explore the body

structure of the monster.

In a few seconds, he seemed to think about a century, but in the first few

years of the century, the conflict of consciousness has become a unilateral

sling.

"Since you are all talking about it, then I..." Xia Fan was halfway through,

and his eyes suddenly caught a ray of dangerous light. He seemed to see the

fox demon's fingertips being stretched, like a sharp one. Sharp weapon. The

cold light reflected by this sharp blade made him swallow the second half of

the sentence back in an instant, "Then how can I take advantage of the danger?

I just sleep outside at night."

"Yes, your will is still achievable, but it lacks temper." Li nodded and

retracted his hands. In an instant, the waves of her eyes and the manner in

which she was willing to do anything disappeared, as if it was just an

illusion.

Xia Fan realized that something was not right, "Just... didn't I think

something was wrong?"

"It's not all, you are in my hands."

He couldn't help thinking of the dream when he was in Qingshan Town.

"illusion..."

"This is also the natural magic of the fox demon. It can be used at any time

without the help of foreign objects."

So that's it, it's really a convenient ability-no, Xia Fan suddenly realized

that this is not a good time to study spells, "Wait, why did you use this on

me suddenly?"

"Because you have become an official alchemist." Li suddenly said seriously,

"Since you want to help me find out the whereabouts of Master, you will sooner

or later deal with high-level alchemists. And their methods are not as clumsy

as the candidates in Qingshan Town. The most direct way to doubt is to use

weird hurdles to induce you to tell the truth."

"In addition, attacking against will is also a common tactic used by

alchemists to fight between alchemists. After all, all alchemy needs to be

initiated from the'thinking'. Destruction of thoughts and interference with

attention can block the magic. If you are not strong, the game begins Will

fall in the wind."

is just an investigation, why did it go directly to actual combat? His purpose

in coming to the Privy Council is to better understand Alchemy and analyze the

mysteries of the world, so as not to do such dangerous things!

Having said that, Xia Fan still asked unconsciously, "But didn't you just

leave a flaw on purpose to let me discover the problem?"

"If you can detect this in the middle of the spell, you are already considered

qualified." Li nodded, "You must know that the illusion-based hurdle is not

without flaws. When the opponent calculates you, it will naturally be exposed.

Make a few holes. Of course, the sooner you can find the holes, the better. If

you want to do this, you need a lot of practice."

"Exercise……?"

"Well, I will do this from time to time in the future until your will is as

strong as a rock."

噗! Xia Fan almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood. Who can stand it? He is

not the strongest monk. It would be too torture to be forced to practice

cultivation!

"Uh... you never thought about it, in case of an accident, wouldn't you and me

be dangerous?"

"Don't worry, I will grasp the degree. If you are completely controlled by the

surgery, I will relieve it." Li said indifferently, "The surgery will

interfere with your mind and mistakenly think that I am graceful and charming.

Once removed, these assumptions will be It will disappear, and the demonized

part will reappear. What is the danger? You did say that my ears are not

unsightly...but I can still tell what comforts are."

Xia Fan was speechless.

Mingming’s "illusion" just now, the characteristics of the fox demon have not

disappeared, or not only have not disappeared, but they have become more

vivid!

It's just that in this atmosphere, he is not good at telling the truth.

Li was in a daze when he was seriously injured. He said that the other party

would not care about it, but it is different now. Under the pressure of the

world, he will be output against the wind, I am afraid he will be regarded as

a pervert.

is the twists and turns on the way forward.

"By the way, it's better for you to sleep in the back room." Li's voice

suddenly became a little sluggish. "After all, laying a floor in the hall

is... weird, it may attract unnecessary suspicion from others. Anyway, as you

said. That way, two beds can fit inside."

Xia Fan responded without hesitation.

After solving the meal problem with the dry food left in the package in the

evening, it was the time for Qingjian disciple to teach him privately.

"Have your master mentioned to you the composition of the Privy Council?" He

has now joined the Shenzhou Privy Council but has no idea about the structure

of the organization. If he asks about the reception officer, he will appear

reckless. Become the best subject of inquiry. "For example, who does the Privy

Council of each state listen to, and who are there in general?"

Li pondered for a moment, "She doesn't talk much, and most of it is about

Gyeonggi. Since the independence of the Privy Council, it is no longer under

the jurisdiction of the six branches. No one except the emperor can interfere

with the affairs of the palace."

"As far as I know, the local Privy Council is mostly divided into four

departments, namely the Order Department, the Academic Department, the Finance

Department, and the Record Department. Each is responsible for evil events,

teaching alchemists, coordinating materials, and recording documents and

secret orders. The competent alchemists in each region There are high and low

positions, among which Yuancheng is the most basic."

It seems that the general framework of the Privy Council has the meaning of

imitating the six parts of the imperial court, but the difference in the

background of the two sides is obvious from the name.

"If I want to inquire about your master's whereabouts, it seems that I have to

find a relationship with the recording department?"

"No, you have to climb up first." Li vetoed, "Don't talk about secret

documents. Even the daily documents will not be open to an eight-rank

alchemist. You ask now, but you are just throwing yourself into the net."

"How high do you want to climb?" Xia Fan asked.

The other party stretched out three fingers, "The lowest third grade-that is,

one place to guard."

"You mean...have to climb to the same height as the one who defeated you?"

"In this way, you are entitled to know all the secrets of the local Privy

Council and can make inquiries to the Supreme Privy Council."

Xia Fan couldn't help but smack his lips, "Doesn't it take more than ten

years?"

"Do you think that fighting against the Privy Council is like a child's play!"

Li's voice was suddenly raised, and his tail stood up. "If it can be achieved

in more than ten years, it will be extremely smooth, even decades... Master

may be gone by then, and I will not forget this hatred!"

I thought it was too simple.

From the moment this guy agrees to cooperate, is he ready to make a half-life

determination...

Xia Fan changed his relaxed look, "I see."

Seeing him like this, the fox demon calmed down, "Sorry...I shouldn't be so

excited, so let's talk about the affairs of the Privy Council."

"Ok."

This conversation lasted for more than an hour, and not long after the second

watch clapper, a scream suddenly pierced the tranquility of the night.

The two looked at each other and closed their mouths in unison.

Soon there were more screams coming ~www.mtlnovel.com~ During the period,

there were steps and screams.

The sound is from far to near, for a moment it seems to come from outside the

wall.

But it came fast and went fast, this chaotic noise quickly disappeared to the

east.

"What happened outside?" Xia Fan frowned.

"I'll go and see what's going on." The fox demon stood up, put on his coat

again and put on his hat.

"Pay attention to the wound, and..." He paused, "Hurry back."

Li glanced at him, turned and walked out of the hall, disappearing into the

night.

Xia Fan felt uneasy in his heart.

This back figure is too consistent with never returning.

Should I go with her?

But the other party is a demon, with rich experience in night actions, and he

is not good at flying over the walls, and I am afraid it will be difficult to

keep up with the other party's pace.

It’s easy to think too much while sitting and waiting, so just burn the pot of

tea first and distract your attention.

Xia Fan went into the kitchen and rummaged for a while, and found a fairly

clean porcelain jar. As soon as he left the house, he saw a dark shadow in the

hall!

With a shake of his hand, the jar almost fell off.

"you……"

The shadow turned around, it was Li who took off his hat. "I'm back. Why are

you like hell."

"It's too fast too!"

"Didn't you tell me to come back soon?" Li rolled his eyes, "As expected,

human beings are fickle."

Xia Fan decided to stand up and be beaten, "Then...what is going on outside?"

"It's nothing," Li's eyes suddenly became a little erratic, and only a moment

later replied with a lack of interest, "It's just what you humans love to do-

slaughter the same kind."
