Chapter 114: Something in the Shadows
"It's complicated, it's confusing! Is this academy still a place to study? Isn't this a weird den, right? ”
Fang Tuo in the room was dizzy, and Qin Chuan outside the room was also dizzy.
First it was last night's black cat, then Wu Mingshu in the bamboo forest, and the ghost cultivator who was very likely to exist, and then this was a little fox demon, and it was a powerful ghost.
Qin Chuan has taken on a lot of tasks, and this is the first time he has encountered so many non-human species in a mission.
Although, he was now basically sure that the disappearance of the students of Taiping Academy was related to this powerful ghost, and the two cultivators who disappeared before were related to the little fox demon.
Now, as long as he overtakes the ghost and kills the little fox demon, his task can be completed.
But, you can't do it that way!
How did the ghost come about, why did he assassinate the students of the academy, and what happened to the previous words of the opposing Fang Tuo, and the words of the ghost who would not be saved when he saw death?
In addition, the two cultivators before did something evil that led to being killed by the little fox demon, and who was the grandmother in the mouth of the little fox demon, how did Fang Tuo get in touch with the little fox demon and the grandmother, and what was the relationship between the two.
All of this is still unknown.
Of course, if an ordinary cultivator takes this task, it will basically be over when he finds out here, no matter what secrets he still has hidden here, anyway, it is a demon chaos, and it will be over if he directly kills the demon and destroys the demon.
But Qin Chuan can't do it, in his eyes, whether it's a human, a demon, or a ghost, as long as you commit evil deeds, then I will behead you, but if you don't commit evil deeds, then I will also turn a blind eye to your existence choice.
Even the appropriate one can provide you with some help, just like Xie Lingwu's lady.
Therefore, knowing that the ghost and the little fox demon were murderers, Qin Chuan did not plan to do it immediately, but he would only make a move after finding out all the hidden things in it and determining that the former had a way to die.
Of course, it is precisely this way of doing things that allows him to get the help of the black cat and have the opportunity to find these two real murderers in this dream.
Otherwise, if you change to a cultivator who kills the demon when he sees the demon and gets rid of the demon when he sees it, I'm afraid that he won't want to find the clue in a short time, and it is even very likely that he will be hammered to death by Wu Mingshu when chasing and killing the black cat.
And when Qin Chuan's head was swollen, the black cat stretched out his paws and scratched the door of the school house, and the scene in the house became early morning.
Inside the house, Fang Tuo, who had been in a coma all night, woke up slowly.
He first glanced at the three beds next to him with a hateful gaze, and then looked at the little fox demon who was still unconscious.
Then, after dressing with some jerky movements, he came to the little fox demon's side, held the latter in his arms, and jumped out of the back window of the schoolhouse.
Qin Chuan watched him put the little fox demon in a forest, and then went back to wash up, and then, Fang Tuo walked towards the pavilion outside the schoolhouse.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan looked at the black cat on his shoulder.
"In Fang Tuo's shadow, is the thing hidden in that ghost?"
The black cat shook his head and said, "No, it's not a ghost in the shadow, it's Fang Tuo's soul." ”
She glanced at Fang Tuo, who was talking to 'Qin Chuan' in the pavilion, and said, "If it is a powerful ghost hidden in the shadow, then Fang Tuo will not be so calm after seeing the little fox demon, and besides, although he was attacked by a powerful ghost, he will definitely not lose his memory, and it is impossible for him to go to a lecture so calmly after waking up." ”
"Therefore, Fang Tuo at this time is actually controlled by a powerful ghost, and Fang Tuo is sealed in the shadow by him by some unknown method."
"Makes sense." Qin Chuan nodded and said, "From the previous scene, it can be seen that Fang Tuo and the little fox demon should be very close, and it is impossible to ignore it while knowing that the latter is injured." ”
But then, he wondered again.
The powerful ghost found Fang Tuo, but he didn't harm the latter's life, but only occupied his body, and didn't even hurt the little fox demon, why is this?
Could it be that this terrible ghost has given up his grudge and intends to occupy his human body and start his life again?
Qin Chuan thought about it and felt that this possibility was very small, most of the powerful ghosts were born because of resentment after death, and if there was no resentment in his heart, it would dissipate by itself.
Therefore, there is no such thing as giving up grudges, and for ghosts, giving up grudges is equivalent to death.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Chuan suddenly looked at the black cat and said, "You said, the powerful ghost occupies Fang Tuo's body, could it be that he wants to use the other party's identity to do something?" ”
"You ask me, who do I ask?" The black cat rolled its dark eyes and swept Qin Chuan's cheek vigorously with its furry tail.
"This kind of brain-using thing, you ask me if I have a fart, besides, what do you want to do so much, you want to know what that powerful ghost is going to do, and then, you just follow Fang Tuo and it's over."
Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is indeed the simplest and most effective way, but who knows if there will be a problem with Fang Tuo who is sealed in the shadow.
What if Fang Tuo dies after a long time?
He didn't want to watch a big living person burp under his nose in order to investigate the case.
"Don't worry about Fang Tuo's soul."
The black cat seemed to see through his worries, and said: "The soul of a normal person will not have much impact if it leaves the body for a short time, at most it will be tired for a while afterwards, of course, if it is more than seven days, the soul will never be able to return to the body, and then there will be no body to bear, and the soul will slowly dissipate." ”
"And this kind of statement? Why have I never heard of it? Qin Chuan looked at the black cat suspiciously.
Not surprisingly, he once again provoked the latter's contempt.
"You don't know it's because you don't know how to learn, but it's not surprising, after all, it's a rookie who can't even open a magic eye."
The black cat finished sneering and explained: "Wu Mingshu, you also saw it last night, he is a simple soul body, so he still has a lot of research on souls, and these are what he told me when he was bored." ”
"I see, I said how is he transparent, it turns out to be a soul body."
Qin Chuan first nodded, then frowned, and said, "No, if according to what you said, the soul will gradually dissipate when it leaves the body, why does Wu Mingshu have no signs of dissipating at all?" ”
Recalling the Wu Mingshu he saw last night, although the other party was transparent, he could feel that the other party's body was extremely solid, just like a normal person's body.
"You're stupid!" The black cat was not angry, and said: "People are different, soul body and soul body are also different, Wu Mingshu was already in the Yuan Infant Realm before his death, and his soul has already been condensed countless times, even if there is no physical nourishment, his soul body will not dissipate." ”
"Oh, oh, got it, got it."
Qin Chuan's chick nodded his head like pecking rice, as if he was a student who had been reprimanded by a teacher.
Of course, in terms of soul, he is a little white, and the black cat does have the qualifications to be a teacher in front of him.
"Well, tell me again, what else did Wu Mingshu say besides these?"
The black cat glanced at him, and simply said all the words that Wu Mingshu had been talking to himself in front of her all these years, while Qin Chuan listened very carefully, heard some important places, and even took out a pen and paper to write them down.
In this way, one person and one cat, listening and talking, until a voice suddenly sounded in the sky.
"Brother Qin, wake up, don't sleep, the lecture is over."
Since the main body of the black cat's dream this time was Qin Chuan, not Fang Tuo, so before, Fang Tuo had already gotten rid of the dream.
When Qin Chuan opened his eyes, he found that he and Fang Tuo were the only ones left in the lecture hall that was still overcrowded before, and the latter was shaking his shoulders with a worried face at this time.
The black cat's nightmare ability was too weird, so even though Fang Tuo's body was dominated by powerful ghosts at this time, he didn't notice the previous situation.
"Ah, that's the end of it?" Qin Chuan glanced around, then showed a wry smile on his face, and said, "I wanted to listen to Mr. Lecture, but who knew that I fell asleep, I am really ashamed, ashamed." ”
"Brother Qin doesn't have to be like this." Fang Tuo comforted: "You have been tired all the way, it should take a while. ”
As he spoke, he patted Qin Chuan twice on the shoulder, and then stood up, "Brother Qin, I still have some personal matters to do, so I'll leave first." ”
"Oh, okay, go get busy, I'll sit here again and come back to my senses."
Then, Fang Tuo left the lecture hall under his gaze, and when the other party's figure disappeared, he immediately followed with the black cat.
However, unexpectedly, Fang Tuo's so-called private affairs were just to find Fang Jinli, and then the two went to the South Courtyard together and participated in a poetry meeting.
During this period, Fang Tuo drank and wrote poems, and he didn't see anything unusual at all, and even Fang Jinli, who was closest to him, didn't find out that the clan brother next to him had actually changed.
This couldn't help but make Qin Chuan doubt the relationship between Fang Tuo and this powerful ghost.
is obviously occupying other people's bodies, every word and deed, but it can be exactly the same as the usual Fang Tuo, and even can imitate it to the point that people close to him can't notice it.
Either this powerful ghost has long been eyeing Fang Tuo's physical body, and has already secretly figured out the latter's words and deeds, or this powerful ghost and Fang Tuo were acquaintances before his death, and they are by no means simple acquaintances, it is very likely that the relationship between the two is lovers.
Of course, the specifics remain to be verified.
He decided to wait for time and go to Mr. Qi to investigate this Fang Tuo's interpersonal relationship, maybe he could find out the identity of this powerful ghost before his death.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he could go to Mr. Qi, Fang Tuo, who had ended the poetry meeting, actually came to Mr. Qi's residence first.
What's even more surprising is that when Mr. Qi saw Fang Tuo, his whole face instantly drooped, and he looked like he didn't want to see him.
"Why are you here, how many times have I told you, don't come to me if you have anything to do!"
Facing Mr. Qi, who was like a snake and scorpion, Fang Tuo didn't have any change in expression, just quietly stared at a tiger-shaped jade paperweight in the room.
After a long time, he spoke: "Tonight in the East Courtyard Sun Moon Lake, I have something important to tell you, it is related to Xu Miaoyin." ”
"Shut up!"
When he heard Xu Miaoyin's three words, Mr. Qi stood up suddenly and shouted angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't mention this name in front of me!" ”
At this time, Mr. Qi's face was hideous, and he completely lost the elegance of a scholar.
However, Fang Tuo still looked indifferent, and said, "I'll wait for you to be ugly." ”
With that, he turned around and left the room.
