Chapter 8: Hu Qingyun's Story
Hu Yuxuan asked: "I don't know what two things are, please tell me." ”
"First of all, it's about Hu Qingyun."
As soon as these words came out, Hu Yuxuan suddenly glanced at Qi Lu in surprise, and asked hesitantly: "Hu Qingyun is my clan uncle, did he offend Mr. Qi?" ”
"Not really, but just a momentary curiosity." Qi Lu said with a smile: "I have been walking yin and yang for many years, and it is the first time I have seen a mentally ill goblin. ”
Hu Yuxuan sighed and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." ”
The most basic condition for any youkai to cultivate into a human form is to take off its shell, but this is not an easy task.
Because the time for the formation of monster cultivation is very difficult and long, sometimes a hundred years of cultivation is not as effective as ten years of cultivation for a person who has attained the Dao. In addition, the monster will experience several heavenly tribulations in the process of cultivation, and if it can't successfully escape, it will be destroyed. And in the process of cultivation, a person only needs to go through a heavenly tribulation to become an immortal.
Although people have advantages, the actual situation is that for thousands of years, there are very few people who have cultivated to become immortals, and there are countless monsters who have achieved positive results.
This is because people live in the world, they are always troubled by the seven emotions and six desires, and they are unable to cultivate quietly, so they are easy to give up halfway in the process of cultivating immortals. Demons are different, they have been cultivating for at least hundreds of years when they have obtained human bodies, and even if they can't comprehend the four great emptiness, they can still stay away from love, hatred, and greed.
Mental illness is caused by a person's mental disorder, coupled with the stimulation of social factors, which leads to the dysfunction of the internal organs, which makes the yin and yang in the body out of balance, and it is difficult to self-regulate and control, thus causing mental disorders.
The demon does not have this drawback, after he cultivated his human form, he has been able to perfectly regulate his daily emotions, and he has almost no factors that can induce mental disorders, so how can he get neurosis.
In the mental hospital, Qi Lu recognized Hu Qingyun as a fox demon with the instinct of a soul crosser, but it was inconvenient for Liu Chenfei and the medical staff to reveal his identity. But I have always been confused about the reason for his illness, so one of the purposes of coming today is to understand the real reason for Hu Qingyun's illness through Hu Yuxuan.
I only heard Hu Yuxuan say: "We didn't expect Uncle Clan to suffer from this strange disease, and now rumors are spreading in the clan, and even some people with ulterior motives say that Uncle Clan got sick because he broke the precepts while cultivating, which led to him going mad and becoming a madman." ”
Qi Lu thought that although this was a rumor, it was a more reasonable explanation, so he asked Hu Yuxuan: "Then what is your opinion?" ”
"Impossible!" Hu Yuxuan categorically denied it, he said: "First, Uncle Clan has not cultivated for nearly a hundred years, and second, with his character and character, even if he is an ordinary human being, it is impossible to get mentally ill. ”
"Can you tell me more about what you think?" Qi Lu began to have a yuang to listen to.
"Uncle Clan is the strongest fox demon in our clan in the past five hundred years, and every time a strong enemy attacks, he takes the lead in defeating the other party, so we treat him as a hero of our clan. Perhaps because he felt that he had reached the point of being overwhelmed in cultivating his mental method, the clan uncle gave up cultivation in the early years of the Republic of China and instead served as the chief instructor of his clan, personally teaching the secrets of cultivation to the younger generations. Even I have benefited greatly from his guidance. ”
No wonder this guy can easily make me unable to break free when he chokes my neck, it turns out that he has a peerless demon method, and I really looked away. Only then did Qi Lu know the reason why Hu Qingyun's brute strength was amazing.
Hu Yuxuan also said: "Uncle Clan is also quite famous, and he is called Sai Mengwei by everyone in the ethnic group. ”
Qi Lu understood as soon as he heard it, Meng Weijun was one of the four sons of the Warring States Period, and the literature said that he was hospitable and courteous. And Hu Qingyun is called Sai Mengwei, which is naturally the result of his generous love and respect for the virtuous, and Hu Yuxuan's next words also confirmed Qi Lu's guess.
"No matter who has an accident in the clan, as long as the clan uncle knows, he will definitely be enthusiastic to help him solve problems, so he has a lot of friends wherever he goes. Some fox fairies remembered his favor and came to thank him afterwards. Uncle Clan was very angry with those who came to the door with generous gifts, and often threw away the gifts in front of the guests, or even drove him out. ”
Qi Lu was shocked and asked: "As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, why did he do this?" ”
"The little nephew was also puzzled, and it wasn't until one day that I drank with him that he confided in me." Hu Yuxuan said: "Uncle Clan said that it is his duty to help the weak, how can he be greedy for money, if he does this, it will go against the original intention of helping others." ”
Qi Lu heard Hu Yuxuan say this, and couldn't help but admire Hu Qingyun a little, remembering that when he saw him for the first time outside the hospital, he didn't know that he was a psychopath, he only felt that he had an elegant demeanor, and his speech was direct but not offensive.
Judging from Hu Qingyun's living environment, he is an optimist, has a good popularity, and lives a fulfilling life; In terms of his spell cultivation, Hu Qingyun is already the best among the Semitic clans, and it is no longer a problem to control his mind and cut off distracting thoughts, how can such a monster become a psychopath?
Hu Yuxuan said: "In order to let the clan uncle recover as soon as possible, I did not hesitate to violate the precepts of the clan to escape from the world and sent someone to send him to a psychiatric hospital for treatment. This matter is extremely secretive, where did Mr. Qi get this news? ”
"Presumably you already know that Hu Qingyun successfully predicted the name of the deceased in the murder case in the hospital, right?"
"Alas!" Hu Yuxuan sighed and said: "Uncle Clan was cautious and low-key before he got sick, but he didn't expect that after his illness, he was like a different person. If he does this, sooner or later he will find out his whereabouts. ”
Qi Lu smiled and said: "I was originally entrusted to investigate the case, but I accidentally learned about this unexpected news. ”
Hu Yuxuan also smiled and said, "If Mr. Qi is just here to attend the banquet, I won't believe it anyway." ”
Qi Lu said: "In the past three months, there have been several strange murders in this city, has Mr. Hu heard of it? ”
"Well, I've heard that. It is rumored that this is a serial murder case, and the murderer is a psychopathic killer with a high IQ. ”
"But according to my investigation, the murderer is not a human, and it is likely to be a youkai."
Hu Yuxuan said in horror: "Could it be that Mr. suspects that my clan did it?" ”
"That's not really, it's just that this monster is something special, and I want to use your power." After Qi Lu finished speaking, he handed the photos of the murderer's scratches and footprints taken at the scene of the Qingshui Lake murder to Hu Yuxuan.
"Mr. Qi, judging from the evidence at the scene, it looks like the fox demon in its original form was done." Hu Yuxuan frowned after reading it.
Qi Lu shook his head and said, "On the surface, it seems to be related to the fox demon, but all the time of the crime is on the night of the full moon. ”
"Werewolves?" Hu Yuxuan also understood that the fox demon would not have time to worry if he wanted to kill people. "If the murderer is from my clan, even if Mr. does not pursue the matter, I will bring him to justice, after all, he has broken the contract between us and humans. But this monster is not my race, or even an alien species, so how can I help my husband? ”
"I've heard that you keep the rules of escapism, but that doesn't mean you don't know the world." Qi Lu said with a smile: "As far as I know, although the Semitic people do not take the initiative to interact with humans, they will pay close attention to the monsters entering and leaving this city, and you will even send someone to follow him after some dangerous elements enter the city, and record all his activities in the city in detail." ”
Hu Yuxuan nodded and said: "The truth is as you said, we are doing this nothing more than to protect the city from the outside world, and at the same time, we are also protecting ourselves and not letting the enemy take advantage of it." ”
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated in a hundred battles. Therefore, I would like to ask you to check the records of the last six months to see how many werewolves have appeared in this city. Qi Lu smiled secretly in his heart, saying that foxes are cunning by nature, and foxes who have cultivated into adults are even more cautious to the extreme.
"To my disappointment, I have found no trace of a werewolf in all the eyeliner I have set up this year."
"Impossible, right?" This is really bad news for Qi Lu, who is speculating whether Hu Yuxuan is hiding something from him.
Hu Yuxuan's fox eyes turned lightly to see Qi Lu's thoughts, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. actually knows that the city has not been very peaceful in the past year. Not only are there several times more goblins coming here than in previous years, but even some old goblins who have been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years have begun to make up their minds about the city. I heard that the prince of the fire-weary prince has been haunting the city this year, and this demon mana is unfathomable, even if the king of Qianyehua fights him, I am afraid that it will take some work to subdue him. But such an elite of the demon clan, not also died under the sword of Mr., my little patriarch is naturally willing to make friends with a handsome person like Mr. You personally came to my door to help, how dare I hide anything from you. ”
Ding Xiaolan secretly stuck out her tongue on the side, thinking that it was really a fox spirit, it was too cunning! It was like honey, and it almost killed us just now!
But Hu Yuxuan's words dispelled Qi Lu's worries. It's not that he is relieved of Hu Yuxuan's character, but when he mentions the name of the King of Ten Thousand Foxes, his words become respectful, and this expression is not like a pretend, but a heartfelt awe.
Qi Lu is the person who came to the door to inquire with the fox king jade pendant, Hu Yuxuan does not look at the monk's face but also looks at the Buddha's face, he can follow Qi Lu's order when Qi Lu shows the jade pendant, and of course he will not deceive him for this little thing.
Qi Lu figured this out, and naturally believed his words.
Then a new question arose in Qi Lu's heart, if there were really no werewolves in the city, what type of monster would the murderer be? It can't be a native werewolf, it's not continental Europe after all!
"But please rest assured, sir, you are visiting today, and I naturally can't let you go home empty-handed." Hu Yuxuan said: "I will mobilize the strength of the whole clan to help Mr. find the murderer, and report to you at any time if there is a clue." ”
"Thank you very much."
Hu Yuxuan returned the jade pendant to Qi Lu with a solemn expression and said politely: "Can I still help Mr. with anything?" ”
"I came today with two questions, the first is about your uncle, and the other thing, I don't know if it's convenient for you to tell me?"
"Sir, just ask, as long as I know, I will tell me frankly."
"Not long after Lord Lingzun passed away, I couldn't come to worship, I hope you can forgive me." Qi Lu also said politely, and then said another question: "I heard that the cause of Ling Zun's death is strange, is this true?" ”
Hearing Qi Lu mention his father, Hu Yuxuan's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he replied after a while: "Sir's ability to collect intelligence is better than that of our fox clan, which really surprises me." The matter you asked about involves my father, so I need to avoid his name and make it inconvenient to say it clearly, so let Feng Qi Niang tell me about the unusual things that my father experienced before his death. ”
