Chapter 57: ambush

……

The bed was eventually occupied by the fox demon.

Looking at Xia Fan, who had fallen asleep on the floor, Li still felt a little

emotional.

Judging from the results, he did not pass the test. He was hit more than forty

times in one hour, and the pain of wrestling was enough for him.

Li is not surprised by this.

From the simple sense of qi to the perception of qi changes, this level of

difference can be described as heaven and earth. It requires not only talent,

but also practice day after day until it becomes an instinct.

To her surprise, Xia Fan had already reacted to her fifteenth attack.

It is obviously impossible to avoid it.

But when she got out of the tail, she noticed that the other party's body was

tight and her head tilted slightly, avoiding the direction she was slapped.

This is incredible!

I remember that when the master trained her with this, it took her about half

a month to catch the subtle tremor around her, as if she opened a non-existent

eye to the world for the first time.

But this human being in front of him only took less than two quarters of an

hour.

How solid foundation is needed to comprehend the trick so quickly?

The problem is that she is a fox demon, she is naturally angry, and has the

first mover advantage over this kind of training itself. And Xia Fan was just

an ordinary human—he hadn't even received the education of a family.

To be honest, Li Du doubted whether he was too constricted, which led him to

discover the flaws through other means.

This also made her increase her strength a bit later.

But even so, Xia Fan's evasive action became more and more obvious, until the

final blow, he did not let his tail knock himself off the chair for the first

time, only slightly crooked.

When she announced that it was over, he was actually addicted and wanted to

practice a little longer.

Li refused him without hesitation on the grounds that he had to get rid of him

tomorrow.

Looking at his sleeping face, the fox demon suddenly felt a loss.

He already knows his past, but he knows very little about his past. Except for

the wandering for many years, there is a Sanmen monk who knows nothing else.

Should she also inquire?

For example, what has he gone through to lay such a solid foundation for

himself?

Li sighed and fell back on the bed.

In addition to "protecting investment", she actually has another reason to

come this time, and that is to make sure that he only focuses on dealing with

evil.

She used to ridicule human beings for self-deception, with only profit in her

eyes and turning a blind eye to the evil hidden under evil, but now she finds

that she can no longer say the same things as easily as before.

Because she is also involved in this interest.

Maybe the difference between monsters and humans... is not that big.

Li couldn't help but feel lost.

But this loss was quickly suppressed by her.

Yes, the reason she did this was to rescue Master as soon as possible.

As for his likes and dislikes, he has already been behind him.

……

The next day, no new victims appeared in Gaoshan County.

But the source of the spiritual fire will lose its effectiveness after being

irradiated by the sun. If you want to really solve the problem, you still have

to completely eliminate the ghost.

Until the evening, Xia Fan and his party have gathered in the designated

mansion.

After a day's preparation, this temporarily expropriated house has been

transformed into an ideal ambush ground-all furniture has been removed,

leaving no container for the ghosts to hide in; the surroundings of the house

are set up by the gods. Law, only allow evil spirits to enter, no escape

before the formation is resolved. Each of the six people stood in a corner to

form an encircled circle, limiting the scope of Yuangui's activities to the

center of the hall; Zhang Shenping was the "swordsman", and he was responsible

for uncovering the Yuangui and giving it a fatal blow.

As several bronze candlesticks were lit, there was finally a fire in the

mansion, but the light from these ten candles alone could hardly dispel all

the darkness in the house. There is still a lot of darkness around the room,

and Xia Fan's heart is faint.

Especially when the flames are shaking, he always feels that something will

suddenly emerge from the synchronously stretched shadows.

As expected... it is not easy to study evil.

This is not a test room for a taxi exam, there will be an invigilator to

control the situation and the bottom line. This is a real act of eliminating

poison, and no one will find it strange even if he is dead.

To say that one of the few things that made him feel at ease was Li, who was

also hidden in the dark.

Although Xia Fan didn't know when the other party entered this place, and

where he is currently hiding, as long as he thinks that there is a fox demon

waiting to support him at any time, he will have a little more confidence in

facing the evil spirits.

"That... I ask God's judgment," Wei Wushuang could not help asking, probably

to ease the tension, "Since Yuangui is not afraid of the sun, why don't we

choose to set up ambush during the day?"

"There are so many things that don't fear the sun, such as toads, snakes,

night owls, bats...Which one can still be killed by the sun? Then why do you

think they are accustomed to going out at night?" Zhang Shenzheng fiddled with

his hands. While catching the ghost trap, he replied, "The same goes for the

deep ghosts. Not afraid of the sun does not mean that they like to act in

front of everyone, and then be knocked to pieces by a hoe. Boy, you really

belong to this group. The dullest of the people."

Wei Wushuang's head drooped suddenly.

Unable to bear his fellow villagers in a dilemma, Xia Fan hurriedly rescued

the scene, "But we only know the approximate lurking range of Yuan Ghost. If

we want to bring it here, we should still need bait?" He looked around, "Here

now. Nothing, will it really take the bait?"

"Bait?" Zhang Shenzhen gave a strange smile, "How come there is no, the bait

is already on the hook."

"what?"

"The evil spirits live by qi. If there is no qi, they are just a pile of cold

and rigid accumulations. Then who has more qi? Ordinary people or alchemists?"

Xia Fan was startled before realizing the meaning of the other party's words.

"Considering that being too strong will deter the goal, I have already

sprinkled spiritual fire powder in the room beforehand," Zhang Shenping

grinned. What he liked most was the shocked expression of the new alchemist.

For ordinary people, it weakens existence. For alchemists, that is the best

condiment."

——It is themselves who lured the Yuan ghost to come.

Everyone couldn't help but took a breath.

"What's so weird about this? The hunter and the prey are in a relationship

that can be swapped at any time-they are hunting us at the same time they are

being hunted by us. Generally speaking, it is fair." After he finished

speaking, he will assemble the wood. The equipment was placed in front of him,

"Hoo...finally set it up."

"Is that...a box?" Wang Renzhi asked curiously.

"Yes, it is also a trap that makes it nowhere to hide." Zhang Shenping pulled

out the wooden sword on his waist and sat down cross-legged, "The next thing

we need to do is wait."
