Chapter Seventy-Two: Face to Face
Wei Wushuang's face suddenly turned pale, he looked at Shangguan Cai, and then at Xia Fan, not knowing what to say.
"No," at this point, Xia Fan had nothing to hide, "I have thought about this question, even if the Privy Council does not know the specific situation, it will definitely be able to guess a rough idea." ”
The formation of evil is related to the strong qi, and since qi is the will of living beings, it is obvious that there are a large number of abnormal deaths in Gaoshan County. Even he knew this, and it was impossible for the Privy Council not to be unaware, in fact, when he was engaged in a conversation with the Command, he had already sensed that the other party was trying to divert the topic to another aspect, but at that time he did not have any evidence, nor was he really sure, so he did not refute it on the spot.
After all, without an investigation, there is no voice.
The fellow villager was surprised, "Then why does the Privy Council ignore this? Even if you can't meddle in government affairs, it's still feasible to inform the Governor's Office and let them investigate, right?"
"I want to ...... I'm afraid they don't want to ban evil spirits. ”
"Hmph," Shangguan Cai chuckled, "So you're aware of it." ”
"What, what do you mean?" Wei Wushuang was puzzled.
"Think of what the Divine Judge said. Xia Fan sighed, "That's the answer." ”
- "Civil officials are promoted based on political achievements, what do we rely on? Isn't it the credit of these demons?"
"If the evil in a place is swept away, won't the Fang Shi just sit in the house and waste his time?"
"A day of evil is a good day!"
He didn't take it to heart at first, and the alchemists liked to eliminate evil feats, just as the sergeants favored military exploits, and there was nothing wrong with their mentality. But the more he investigated, the stronger the uneasiness in his heart became, and the Privy Council was afraid that he had crossed that line.
It was this merit that led to promotions and the maintenance of the influence of the Privy Council.
"No......" the fellow muttered.
Xia Fan thought deeper.
He still remembers the cause of death mentioned by the old man of the Zhou family.
Got tangled in something unclean...... In the end, he died.
For example, the Void that he had encountered.
If the handler is professional enough, this kind of invisible evil can slowly drain a person's vitality without realizing it.
"It's okay to say that if you offend the Privy Council, I'm afraid that the rest of my life will be very miserable. You don't want to live the kind of upheaval life you used to live again, do you?" Shangguan Cai said calmly, "It's only too late to stop now—the Privy Council doesn't know about this yet, and for Hu Zhixian, it's just two dead men, if you don't go to him, he will definitely not provoke you in turn." In short, I finally became a monk, and I didn't want to give up this great future, so I ...... I quit. ”
"I see. Xia Fan nodded.
"You don't blame me?"
"I understand you. If I hadn't seen anything else, I'd probably make the same choice as you. ”
Shangguan Cai's pupils shrank suddenly, "Something else...... What is it?"
"You said before that the way of the world is like this, but the so-called way of the world is just created by people themselves. Everybody – including you and me. ”
After speaking, Xia Fan looked at Wei Wushuang, "No matter what choice you make, I have no opinion." You've helped me a lot, thank you. ”
"Brother Xia......"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned around and walked towards the county seat.
"Hey," Shangguan Cai frowned, "You don't really want to be on the wanted list of the Privy Council, do you? Once you step into the mansion of the magistrate, there is no turning back!"
Xia Fan waved his hand and quickly left the field of vision of the two.
And by a large tree on the side of the road, he saw a familiar figure.
"Did you hear it all?"
"Hmm. Li straightened his hat and stepped to follow, "I warned you." ”
"Yes, you knew it before I did. ”
"But I didn't expect you to actually find out the results. ”
"Without your help, it wouldn't have gone so well. ”
"It's good to know. ”
Xia Fan hesitated, "Are you going with me?"
"Otherwise," Li asked rhetorically.
"I'm afraid I can't stay in the Privy Council. ”
"You don't want to study magic anymore?"
"It's not. ”
"Is that to help the people of Gaoshan County?"
"It's not all ...... Part of it was for myself, too. ”
"Yourself?"
"Well, to put it in cliché terms, it's called an inaccessible thought, and it hinders the practice. ”
"I've never heard such a statement," Li said bluntly, "you can still breathe when you're angry." ”
"Ahem...... Actually, I couldn't get past my own level. Xia Fan decided to be honest, "I can't regard the elimination of evil cults as a merit to climb upwards and the main source of funding, especially after knowing the origin of these evil cults. So...... I'm sorry to secretly help you inquire about Master's whereabouts in the Privy Council—"
Li interrupted, "If you can't be a monk, will you continue to assist me in rescuing my master?"
"Of course. ”
"Then there is no need to apologize, because the basis of cooperation in the beginning was your willingness to help me, not that you were a monk. At this point, the fox demon paused slightly, "In addition, I must also confess one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"I didn't want you to pursue it at first, but now that it's like this, I don't feel too much chagrin—or rather, a little lighter. ”
Xia Fan was slightly stunned, he couldn't help but look sideways at the fox demon, and what caught his eyes was her golden eyes and the natural smile on the corner of her mouth.
"By the way, my injury, it's okay. ”
This sentence is quite a bit of a "beef, I ate it" posture.
"So what?" Xia Fan didn't react for a while.
"So we can run a little bit faster. After that, Li grabbed Xia Fan, directly clamped him around his waist, ran two steps and jumped up!
He instantly felt himself fly—
With a single person, the fox demon had increased its speed a notch with just his legs, and instead of following the path, they leaped on the roof of the room, their eyes unobstructed, the stars and moonlight above them pointing the way.
This is the true power of the fox demon?
Xia Fan simply let go of his hands and let her run fast with him.
Although his posture was not very elegant, since no one would see it, he decided to fulfill the other party. I don't know why, he feels that Li, who is running with all his strength at the moment, seems to be a little different from before.
"If you fail, do you have a good idea of where to go?" Lai's voice echoed in the wind.
"Not yet. Xia Fan also replied loudly, "But the world is so big, there is always a place where they can't find it!"
"I think so. She hugged Xia Fan tightly, "Ready, we're here!"
With the help of a long run, the two stepped on the tail end of the main ridge of the last house, jumped high, directly crossed the street and the courtyard wall, and fell into the prefect's mansion in mid-air.
