It's a mess.

Su Lin saw Wangcai who was excitedly circling around Luo Huainan, and thought to himself that even Wangcai felt that Luo Huainan was real, that is to say, at least in the eyes of animals, there was no difference between Luo Huainan on the ground and Luo Huainan standing in front of him.

Su Lin stared at Luo Huainan, raised his forehead and said tiredly: "It's like this now, now you can always tell me about the thing you are hiding, right?" ”

Luo Huainan came back to her senses from her trance, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she nodded slightly.

"Actually, I met myself at the Wu'an Inn that day."

Su Lin's expression suddenly became serious: "Met yourself? ”

"Well, it's someone who looks exactly like me and wears exactly the same clothes as me, didn't everyone eat supper at the door of the inn at that time? I wanted to go to the bathroom, so I went to the backyard of the inn, and it was there that I met her. ”

"And then?"

"We talked, she asked me who I was, I asked who she was, she knew everything, and then before I could react, she picked up the pitchfork in the backyard and stabbed me, I was startled and dodged sideways, she didn't stand still, she ...... He fell to the ground and hit his head on a rock and died.

Then I was scared, so I dragged her body out of the back door, and wasn't there a dry toilet in the area outside the back door? So I threw the corpse in, and with a pitchfork, I pressed the corpse under the dung. Luo Huainan said distractedly.

Su Lin stared at Luo Huainan: "This kind of thing happened, why didn't you tell me?" ”

"I, I'm afraid that Brother Su Lin, you think I'm the fake Luo Huainan, because she is really similar to me! She knows everything I know! Luo Huainan argued, "I finally changed from a dead person to a living person, and I was afraid that I would become a monster." ”

As he spoke, Luo Huainan covered his face and sobbed.

At this time, Nan Zhixian suddenly said: "Maybe it's the problem of the phoenix's essence blood!" ”

Su Lin: "Reason? ”

"It is rumored that after the phoenix turns five hundred years old, it will gather fragrant wood to self-immolate, and then be reborn from the ashes of nirvana, and return the phoenix essence blood in the Yang Dan, not the blood shed on the phoenix's body, this essence blood is not so much blood, but rather a synonym for the life force of the phoenix.

Generally, the phoenix that has just been nirvana, all that flows is essence blood, and what is collected at this time is the phoenix essence blood, in addition, the ashes after the phoenix self-immolation, there is also the phoenix essence blood remaining, and it is recorded in the Dan Fang that collecting the ashes of the just nirvana can also have the same effect.

I once heard a story about a medicine picker who went up the mountain one day and saw the phoenix nirvana, but for some reason, the phoenix nirvana did not succeed, and the fire that was ignited was inexplicably extinguished, and only a pile of ashes remained, so the medicine picker collected the ashes and told the villagers about it.

The villagers didn't believe it at first, but the herb picker happened to pick up a tail feather before the phoenix set itself on fire, so the villagers were convinced, and after discussion, they enshrined the pile of ashes in the ancestral hall of the village to protect the village.

As a result, after one night, half of the ashes in the ancestral hall were gone.

On the third day, a young bird with brilliant feathers appeared in the ashes, and in a few days the young bird grew to the size of a peacock, and people from all over the country came to visit.

After that, a few days later, a family in the village caught fire, and everyone in the village went to fetch water to put out the fire, but no amount of water could reduce the fire, and the flame did not spread to the surrounding area, but burned only the grass hut.

Later, the firefighters only heard a birdsong, and saw the phoenix fly out of the ancestral hall and rush into the fire.

Half a cup of tea later, a crimson bird's shadow pierced through the roof and soared into the distance, and the raging fire was extinguished.

When the villagers entered, they found that the family had been burned to the ground, and there was a peacock-sized bird carcass in the house. ”

Su Lin frowned, and for a while he couldn't understand what Nan Zhixian wanted to express through this story.

But Nam Zhixian quickly added: "The person who told me this story finally asked me a question, and at the time I thought it was a bit of a bull's head, but now that I think about it, I feel that it has a deep meaning. The man asked me, "Since the phoenix has risen from the ashes that have been burned out, what if the ashes are split into two piles?"

If the ashes were to become two piles, would the phoenix be reborn from that pile of ashes? Is it just a bunch of them, or is it a bunch that needs to meet special conditions?

This kind of behavior can go further, if someone divides the ashes into thousands and tens of thousands of parts, and crushes the ashes into fine powder, will the phoenix come back from a certain piece of fine powder?

If so, which of the countless ashes will have a phoenix? ”

After listening to this question, and then re-examining the story that Nan Zhixian told before, Su Lin had some ideas.

Obviously, after handing over the ashes of the phoenix, the greed in his heart overcame reason, and he went back to the ancestral hall at night and stole half of the ashes of Nirvana and put them in his own home.

After that, a reborn phoenix was indeed born from the ashes in the ancestral hall, but the phoenix at that time may not be a complete phoenix, otherwise there would be no fire that could not be extinguished at the end of the story.

In that fire, the last remaining bird corpse should also be the corpse of the phoenix.

For the phoenix that flew away, it should have been just a useless shell, and the real phoenix had already merged into one in that fire and rushed away.

The phoenix in this story is a bit similar to Luo Huainan's current situation, Luo Huainan just vomited blood and died, and then another Luo Huainan appeared inexplicably, much like the phoenix Nirvana in the story.

But Su Lin still didn't understand.

Isn't the effect of the Yang Pill resurrecting the physical body? How can one still attain the power of Nirvana?

And listening to Luo Huainan's meaning, she is no longer just a simple nirvana, she also met another identical self when she was alive, and there is no difference in both physical and memory.

This reminded Su Lin of the theory of swamp people proposed by a scholar in his previous life, but if this example was applied to Luo Huainan, then she and her swamp people now exist at the same time, which is no longer a simple ethical issue.

"In short, the problem does lie in Huanyang Dan, but there is no solution for the time being."

Su Lin sighed, looked at Luo Huainan, who was hiding his face and crying, thought for a while, and comforted awkwardly: "Huainan, this is actually not a big deal...... There must be a way to solve it. ”

Luo Huainan bit his lip and asked softly, "Brother Su Lin, won't you hate me?" ”

"How could I hate you?" Su Lin smiled bitterly, although he also felt very strange in the face of the current Luo Huainan, but this was by no means annoying.

Luo Huainan threw himself on Su Lin with open arms, buried his head in Su Lin's chest, and said sullenly: "Great! ”

For her now, this is indeed the best outcome.

Brother Su Lin didn't find out, it was really a fluke in luck.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
