After that, it was an all-night rush.

Compared to the galloping journey, the return journey was much slower - due to the serious injuries of Luo You'er, they had to recruit a carriage to transport them, and considering that the medical level of Gaoshan County was obviously inferior to that of Jinxia City, and the injuries were treated as soon as possible, night travel became the only option.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong along the way, and when the sky just revealed a touch of fish belly white, Xia Fan and his party successfully arrived at Jinxia City.

The next step is to inform the Privy Council.

The fucha, who was in charge of handling the logistics, quickly picked up Luo You'er. While on the road, Shangguan Cai had already roughly examined her injuries and came to the conclusion that there were broken ribs and arms—especially the parts that had been directly hit by the evil spirits, which had swelled up, and that ordinary people would probably need amputation. However, for Fang Shi, as long as the treatment is timely, she has a high probability of recovering as before.

This also made Xia Fan breathe a sigh of relief.

He was also very curious about where Shangguan Cai's pistol technique and his fighting style without the help of magic came from.

The latter's answer was that he had served in the Great Apocalypse Army.

The one who can first train in the army at this age, and then come to participate in the sergeant examination, is definitely not an ordinary soldier, even if her family background is not obvious, she is at least a general.

"Lord Xia, Lord Yuan of the Ministry of Orders asked you to come in and ask questions. ”

Here it comes.

Although this operation succeeded in eliminating the evil cult in Gaoshan County, it also damaged two people, one of whom still asked Liupin, and the Privy Council would inevitably inquire in detail.

And he also wanted to take this opportunity to ask why there were two evil spirits in Gaoshan County without any warning or warning.

Compared with other evil spirits, the formation of ghosts is by no means a matter of one or two days, it is based on corpses, but it does not mean that any corpse can become a ghost. Especially for a dangerous monster like the Blood Crow, according to Li's previous statement, he was only afraid of gathering a lot of restless energy.

Walking into the lobby of the Lingbu, Xia Fan suddenly felt a solemn atmosphere.

Whether it is the spectator seats on the left and right, or the chief seat in the center, there are high platforms, so that those standing under the stage can only raise their heads and look up at the interrogator. This kind of visible class gap made Xia Fan, who was accustomed to treating each other as equals, feel uncomfortable, but he also knew that this was not a place where he could do things casually. Master Zhang and the Divine Judge don't mind the number of etiquette, it doesn't mean that all Fang Shi is like this, especially since the Lingbu is already a five-rank trial, it is better for him to act cautiously.

Walking to the chief table, Xia Fan bowed down and made a standard salute, "Xia Fan, Xia Fan, I have seen Lord Eng." ”

"It turned out to be you. Yuan Zhen picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip, "I heard from the other three that it was your outstanding performance that kept the team from being wiped out." Now that I see it, I am not a young master. ”

"Adults have won prizes. ”

Xia Fan naturally didn't take these compliments to heart, the other party didn't look like he was in his forties, and to be able to do it at this age, talent and ability were indispensable. It is estimated that this person has handled more evil cases than Master Cheap has heard of them, and he must concentrate on dealing with them carefully.

"I've already heard from your teammates, but I'd like to hear from you about what happened. Can you start from scratch for me?"

"Of course, this is the duty of the lower officials. Xia Fan slowly said the prepared "details" - from the establishment of the abyss ghost to the appearance of the blood crow, this process can be said to be no problem, but what must be cautious is what happens next: he must tell the story reasonably, and at the same time hide the existence of the fox demon.

And as early as last night, he had already conceived the details. Needless to say, lightning strikes wood and other things that cannot be verified, just use it up. The reason why he was able to move in the shadow of the blood crow was all due to the newly mastered spell "Streamer". By preparing to cast a spell on oneself in advance, without using an introduction or a spell, relying solely on the will to activate a shock technique, although the power is very small, it can have the effect of stimulating the awakening.

This is not Xia Fan's nonsense, but Li said that "the blood crow makes people unable to move by cutting off the connection between consciousness and the body", so the current that hits the body theoretically has a chance to break through such isolation, just like a pacemaker uses pulses to strengthen the electrical signal of heart muscle cells beating.

As for how to control the power of the technique without causing the tragedy of self-corona, that is another topic.

At least it has some feasibility in principle.

The Privy Council, on the other hand, attaches considerable importance to the description of principles.

"I see, can you break the immobilization through self-stimulation?" Yuan Zhen's eyes lit up, and his body couldn't help but sit up straighter, "It's also a shame that you can think of this." In the past records of events, there have been cases where alchemists have used pain to regain control of their bodies, and this method is similar to yours. ”

"I'm just going to give it a go. ”

"There are so many people who want to fight hard in the face of desperate situations, but there are always a few successful people who can be recorded. He shook his head, "You don't know, the above side attaches great importance to the method of breaking the barrier, and the severe pain may be effective, but it is also very costly, for example, the Fang Shi I mentioned was not able to be rescued in the end. And you have provided another way of thinking, and once it is proven to be effective from above, this merit is undoubtedly greater than the elimination of evil spirits. ”

"By the way, Wei Wushuang mentioned that you disappeared for a while, and then reappeared from the shadows. What was the situation at that time?"

"It's a mouse. Xia Fan said calmly, "I noticed that there were rats running through the corner behind me, and they were not affected by the evil at all, so I simply tried it." ”

"Didn't you think about running away alone when you found out you were out of control?"

"Honestly, I did think about it. But as a priest of the Privy Council, I cannot leave my companions behind and flee alone with my back to the evil spirit. ”

Yuan Cheng seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Yes, I'm glad to see that none of the four of you have abandoned anyone." So the last question, the moment the second ghost appeared, all of you were trapped in place, and it was the candlestick that suddenly fell that saved you. What's going on here? You didn't mention this detail in your previous statement. ”

At the moment when these words came out, Xia Fan felt targeted by a terrifying aura, and the atmosphere in the lobby took a sharp turn, as if the other party's previous kindness was disguised.

Which Leng Touqing has explained such an inconspicuous little thing?

While slandering, he pretended to be uncomfortable and said, "Xiaguan...... It's not clear. Even the fact that the candlestick fell was later told to me. It is precisely because he knows nothing that the lower official does not mention it in order to make everything said true and reliable. ”

"I don't know" is the standard answer.

Since everyone didn't know, he directly said that he didn't know, and the Privy Council couldn't verify it - after all, no one could say for sure about luck.

After a brief silence, the oppressive aura vanished.

"I'm guessing it's a frightened wildcat, and I have to say, you're in luck. Yuan Cheng closed the record book and sighed, "Although the palace has suffered losses, I have also seen a new generation of outstanding and promising people, and it is this alternation that has made the Privy Council grow to this day." Alright, that's all for questioning. I'll tell the school department that you will have three days off, and you can go down and have a good rest. In addition, the commendation order will arrive soon, so I would like to congratulate you in advance. ”

That's it...... It's over?

Xia Fan blinked in disbelief, he had thought that the death of a Liupin Daoist and a newly promoted scholar would allow the Privy Council to thoroughly investigate the matter, but looking at his attitude, it seemed as if he was planning to end it.
