In the evening, the magistrate vacated an entire inn for their group to rest.

Looking at the table full of delicacies in the hall, Xia Fan couldn't whet any appetite.

"Let's all come over and exchange information and see what you've found. Zhang Shenju clapped his hands and greeted, "Time waits for no one, and it's okay to talk while eating." ”

"Well, I'll do it first. Yue Feng succinctly recounted the survivor's dictation, "In short, this person didn't see the evil appearance clearly in his panic, but confirmed that it could be transferred from one container to another in an instant, and it would not be more than a three-year-old child......"

After some exchanges, the six basically reached an agreement.

The evil is not afraid of light, is significantly hostile to living beings, is not too large, and has the chaotic nature of acting in the air, and its attack method is to pull living creatures into narrow containers and squeeze them alive - judging from the degree of danger and anomaly, it should be ghosts.

A similar account can be found in the book "The Records of Evils" of the Privy Council.

"Abyss Ghost".

It moves uncertainly, like a ghost, and hides like an abyss.

"This judgment is considered qualified by you. Zhang Shenju nodded, "But if ten points are out of ten, I can only give you five points at most." ”

"Why is this so?" Wang Renzhi said in surprise, "Could it be that there is something missing from the survey?"

"Quite simply, the Abyssal Ghost is not affected by sunlight, how do you know that it will not still be lurking at the scene of the crime?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone shuddered.

Xia Fan suddenly remembered that Zhang Shenju stopped as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, and he didn't mean to go to the house to take a look.

"I suppose you've been near a cupboard or a house that can hold things more than once, and if it's still there, how many of you will come back alive?" he smiled grimly and stretched out his hand to Luo Youer, "and you're the first to go out." ”

Luo You'er's face turned a little pale.

I asked her to search...... Xia Fan only felt a little astringent in his mouth.

He didn't even think about that possibility at the time.

No wonder Master would say that if you are not fully prepared, you should never get involved in evil events lightly.

"What's the right thing to do?" Wang Renzhi couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, it's to make others advanced. Zhang Shenju pinched a jujube and threw it into his mouth, "Gaoshan County has officials, catchers, and so many residents, you can call anyone." There is really no one, and it's not bad to trick the magistrate into it. ”

"You...... Seriously?"

"Remember, before you have the ability to protect yourself, this is the safest way!" his voice suddenly raised, "Fang Shi only thinks about completing the task of the Privy Council, if others can't solve the evil spirit, then you must protect yourself, and let those ordinary people who can't feel the anger create a chance for themselves to win!"

"What if everyone is a Fangshi?" Shangguan Cai asked expressionlessly.

"You already know the answer, don't you?" Zhang Shenju spread his hands, "In the battle against the evil spirit, it is normal to have casualties. ”

It's really a drill that is close to the real thing...... Xia Fan said silently in his heart, no, it should be said that this is actual combat, at least Zhang Shenju, who took the lead, actually demonstrated what it means to protect himself.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were not very good-looking, the divine judge pressed his hand down, "Don't show such a solemn expression, I just want to deepen your memory, if the ghost is really hidden inside, I will naturally not sit idly by." Now that we have a goal, let's talk about tomorrow's plan to destroy demons. ”

"Tomorrow? What about tonight?"

"It doesn't matter, hasn't this innocent little girl already confirmed the ghost's approximate range of movement according to the Wind Seeking Technique? Although it can move quickly from container to container, and it is impossible to determine the exact location, the area where the smell spreads will not deceive. I've asked Lord Hu to sprinkle spiritual fire powder around there, and at the same time evacuate the occupants inside, so I should be able to keep the night safe. ”

The source of spiritual fire can not only be used as an introduction to some magic techniques, but also weaken the aura of the incarnate and interfere with the judgment of evil spirits, which is also the knowledge that Xia Fan learned after joining the Privy Council.

It turned out that when they were investigating, the other party was not idle.

"According to the records of the Evil Spirits, the whereabouts of the abyss ghost are unpredictable, and the container it is in must be smashed before its true body can be exposed. Zhang Shenju grabbed a handful of red dates, pushed away the dishes on the table, and then used a dozen dates to quickly lay out the streets and alleys and houses where the crime occurred. "So instead of looking for it, let it come to us. ”

In one afternoon, I memorized the map of the small half of the county in my mind, and sure enough, none of the scholars who could be promoted were idle.

Xia Fan couldn't help but glance at him.

The Divine Judge finally stretched out his finger and pressed hard into the center of the area, which also happened to be a mansion in Gaoshan County. "Tomorrow night, we'll set up an ambush here to lure it into the circle!"

Everyone rolled their throats in unison.

"Don't be so nervous," he shook his head and laughed when he saw that no one was responding, "If you have a mind or not, the evil is just a prey." You will know later that the days of evil are good days!"

"What do you mean by that?" Wei Wushuang said in surprise.

"Boy, you're not clever enough at first glance. The greater the threat of the evil cult, the greater the reward, and if the evil cult in one place is swept away, won't the Fang Shi have no choice but to sit in the house and waste time?"

"But Master Zhang said that we still need to go to the battlefield......"

"It was in wartime. You are nervous about dealing with evil spirits, let alone dealing with Fang Shi? It is not a mutual assault at the level of a scholar, but a game of life and death. Zhang Shenju closed his eyes when he said this, as if he was in recollection, and only after a moment did he take a deep breath, opened his eyes and looked around at all the monks present, "Listen, evil spirits are not terrible, they have weaknesses and no consciousness at all. Even the most difficult ghosts have only the most basic instincts to seek advantage and avoid harm, but people are different—"

"Man, a hundred times more terrible than them. ”

He laughed to himself.

After laughing, without waiting for everyone to react, he took the remaining dates into his arms, dropped a sentence of "I like this", and waved straight upstairs.

By the end of tomorrow, you will have taken a solid step on the road to promotion. ”

......

Not long after returning to his room, Xia Fan heard a soft knock outside the window.

Pushing open the window, I saw a figure nimbly flashing into the room.

His hanging heart can be regarded as relaxed.

"I was thinking what to do if you got lost. ”

Li took off his hat and gave him a blank look, "Just a beginner Fang Shi also wants to get rid of my follow?" Don't forget that my master is-"

"It's Qingjian, I know. Xia Fan was curious, "How did you find here, can't it be based on the smell?"

"You think I'm a dog?" Li showed a look of disgust, "I don't need to spend any effort to find you, just pull someone on the street, give two or three copper plates, and ask the whereabouts of the Jinxia City Fangshi." ”

This...... It is indeed a simple and effective tracking method, Xia Fan was impressed.
