…
The bed was finally occupied by the fox demon.
Looking at Xia Fan, who was lying on the floor and already asleep, Li still felt a little emotional in his heart.
Judging from the results, he did not pass the test. He was hit more than forty times in one hour. The pain of wrestling alone was enough for him.
Li was not surprised by this.
From simply feeling Qi to sensing changes in Qi, the difference between them is as great as heaven and earth. It requires not only talent, but also practice day after day until it becomes an instinct.
What surprised her was that Xia Fan had already reacted to her fifteenth sneak attack.
Avoidance was obviously impossible.
But the moment she came out, she noticed that the opponent's body tensed up, his head tilted slightly, and the direction he avoided was exactly the path of her slap.
This is incredible!
I remember that when the master trained her on this, it took her about half a month to catch the subtle tremors around her, as if she had opened a non-existent eye to the world for the first time.
But the human in front of him only took less than two quarters of an hour.
How much solid foundation is needed to understand the secret so quickly
The problem is that she is a fox demon who is born with the ability to sense energy, so she has a first-mover advantage in this kind of training. Xia Fan, on the other hand, is just an ordinary human being—he has not even received an education from a noble family.
To be honest, Li Du suspected that he was too restrained, which led him to discover the flaw through other means.
This also caused her to increase her efforts later.
But even so, Xia Fan's dodge movements became more and more obvious, until the last blow, for the first time, he did not let his tail knock him off the chair, but he was only slightly tilted.
When she announced that was the end of it, he was still addicted and wanted to practice a little longer.
Li Ze refused him without hesitation on the grounds that he would have to get rid of the evil spirits tomorrow.
Looking at his sleeping face, the fox demon suddenly felt like he was at a disadvantage.
He already knew his past, but he knew very little about his past. Apart from the fact that he had been wandering for many years and had a master who was a loose monk, he knew nothing about the rest.
Should she inquire too
For example, what exactly did he go through to lay such a solid foundation for himself
Li sighed and fell on his back.
In addition to "protecting investment", she actually had another reason for coming this time, which was to ensure that he only focused on dealing with evil spirits.
She used to often ridicule human beings for deceiving themselves and others, only seeing benefits and turning a blind eye to the evil hidden under evil spirits, but now she found that she could no longer say the same words as easily as before.
Because she is also involved in this benefit.
Maybe the difference between demons and humans... isn't that big.
Li couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart.
However, this disappointment was quickly suppressed by her.
Yes, her reason for doing this was to rescue her master as soon as possible.
As for his own likes, dislikes, honor and disgrace, he has long since put them behind him.
…
The next day, as expected, no new victims appeared in Gaoshan County.
However, the source of spiritual fire will lose its effectiveness after being exposed to the sun. To truly solve the problem, the Yuangui must be completely eliminated.
By evening, Xia Fan and his party had gathered in the designated mansion.
After a day of preparation, this temporarily requisitioned house has been transformed into an ideal ambush site - all the furniture has been removed, leaving no container for the Abyss ghosts to hide; a formation has been set up around the house by the Divine Judge. , only evil spirits are allowed to enter, and no escape is allowed before the formation is resolved. The six people each stood in a corner, forming an encirclement circle, limiting the scope of Yuan Gui's activities to the center of the hall; Zhang Shenfan was the "chief surgeon", and he was responsible for pulling out Yuan Gui and giving him a fatal blow.
As several bronze candlesticks were lit, there was finally a firelight in the mansion, but it was difficult to dispel all the darkness in the house with the light of these dozen candles alone. There were still many places around the room that were completely dark, which made Xia Fan feel faintly in his heart.
Especially when the flames shook, he always felt like something would suddenly emerge from the synchronously expanding shadows.
Sure enough... It is not an easy task to study evil spirits.
This is not a military examination room. There will be an invigilator to control the situation and keep track of everything. This is a real evil-elimination operation. Even if he dies, no one will feel strange.
One of the few things that made him feel at ease was Li, who was also hiding in the dark.
Although Xia Fan didn't know when the other party entered this place and where he was currently hiding, as long as he thought that there was a fox demon behind him waiting to support him at any time, he gained a little more confidence in facing the evil spirit.
"Um... may I ask the judge," Wei Wushuang, probably wanting to ease the tension, couldn't help but ask, "Since the Yuan ghost is not afraid of the sun, why don't we choose to set up an ambush during the day?"
"There are so many things that are not afraid of the sun. Toads, snakes, night owls, bats... which ones can be killed by the sun? Then why do you think they are accustomed to staying in the day and coming out at night?" Zhang Shenpan fiddled with the catch on hand. Ghost Trap replied, "The same goes for the Abyss Ghost. Just because it's not afraid of the sun doesn't mean it likes to commit crimes in front of everyone and then be beaten to pieces with a hoe. Boy, you are indeed the dullest one among this group of people."
Wei Wushuang's head immediately dropped.
Unable to bear the dilemma of his fellow villagers, Xia Fan quickly came to the rescue and said, "But we only know the approximate lurking range of the Abyss Ghost. If we want to lure it here, we must need a bait, right?" He looked around, "Now here Nothing, will it really take the bait?”
"Bait?" Zhang Shenping showed a strange smile, "How could there be no bait? The bait has already been hung on the hook."
"What?"
"Xiegui lives on Qi. Without Qi, they are just a pile of cold and stiff accumulation. So who has more Qi? Ordinary people or alchemists?"
Xia Fan was stunned for a moment before realizing the meaning of the other person's words.
"Considering that too strong Qi will deter the target, I have already sprinkled spiritual fire powder in the room beforehand," Zhang Shenping grinned. What he liked to admire the most was the shocked expression of the new alchemist, "For For ordinary people, it is a weakened existence, but for alchemists, it is the best condiment."
—The ones who lured the Yuan ghosts here were themselves.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
"What's so strange about this? The relationship between the hunter and the prey can be reversed at any time - while it is hunting us, it is also being hunted by us. Overall, it's fair." After that, he put the assembled wooden utensils Put it in front of him, "Phew... finally done."
"That's... a box?" Wang Renzhi asked curiously.
"Yes, it is also a trap for him to hide in." Zhang Shenping pulled out the wooden sword from his waist and sat cross-legged. "The next thing we have to do is wait."
