Chapter 53: A Sudden Mandate
"What is your purpose, evil thing!"
"Haha, it is the mission of 'filthy' to defile the world and control all things. ”
"The sky does not leave evil people, and today's Taoists will cut off your karma!"
Who are you, and why do I have your voice in my head again?
—————————————————————————————————————
Ming Fan, who gradually woke up from his coma, opened his eyes and found himself lying in a cave.
"Ah, Mingfan, are you awake?"
There was no need to turn his head, just listening to the voice, Ming Fan knew that it was Wang Tiehammer who was speaking.
Ming Fan replied softly, "Sister Iron Hammer, is this place?"
Seeing that Ming Fan had woken up, Wang Tiehammer walked quickly to his side, put his arm around Ming Fan's shoulders to help him up, and replied, "This is a cave in the Guling Mountains, and you suddenly fainted that day, almost scared us to death." Later, my eldest brother and Yun Ling and I took you to this place, and decided to repair it here first, and when you wake up, we will go back to Luohe City. ”
Ming Fan was puzzled by Wang Tiehammer's words, so he asked, "That day?"
"yes, you've been in a coma for three days. ”
"Three days?!" Ming Fan said in surprise.
"How is your body, is there anything uncomfortable?" Wang Tiehammer asked carefully.
"Ahh I'm fine, Sister Hammer. ”
I had been unconscious for three days, why the pain in my chest had suddenly increased after defeating the hunter, and where the voices in my head came from, and one of the voices seemed familiar to me, as if I had heard them somewhere.
"Ming Fan, Ming Fan?" Wang Tiehammer shook Ming Fan's arm and shouted him out of deep thought, "What are you thinking?"
"Oh, it's nothing, by the way, what about Big Brother Steel Bullet and Yun Ling?" Ming Fan smiled and asked.
"They're out to check if there's any sign of monsters and monsters in the neighborhood, and if there is, we're going to get out of here at once. Wang Tiehammer replied.
Ming Fan looked around and found that Zhang Liangtong's body was no longer here, so he asked softly, "Where is Brother Liangtong's corpse?"
At the mention of Zhang Liangtong, Wang Tiezhu's face once again showed a sad expression, and he said sadly, "When you were unconscious, we cremated his body. ”
"That's it......" Although Zhang Liangtong is introverted and unwilling to speak, in the few days he has been with him, Ming Fan can find from his usual behavior that Zhang Liangtong is a kind-hearted person.
Ming Fan patted it, and Wang Tiehammer's shoulder comforted, "Sister Tiehammer, don't be too sad, Brother Liang Yan doesn't want to see you so sad." ”
Wang Tiehammer nodded and said, "Well, I understand. ”
At this time, Wang Gangtan and Yun Ling walked in, saw that Ming Fan had woken up, and said excitedly, "Brother Ming Fan, you can be regarded as awake, great." ”
"I'm sorry to take care of you these days. ”
Wang Gangtan waved his hand and said, "What is this called, if it weren't for you, a few of us might have died at the hands of others." You're our benefactor. ”
Ming Fan responded with a smile, "Brother Steel Bullet's words are serious, like-minded partners, it is appropriate to help each other, isn't this what you said?"
"Haha! Brother Mingfan is right. Wang Gangtan touched his shiny head and smiled heartily.
Yun Ling also came to Ming Fan and thanked him, "I still have to thank you anyway, Ming Fan, if it weren't for you, I might have been ...... by that shameless guy Xia Wei."
Ming Fan looked at Yun Ling's slightly shy expression and said with a smile, "You're welcome, Yun Ling, didn't you also help me when I was fighting with Hunting?"
Hearing Ming Fan's answer, Yun Ling's cheeks were shy, and she smiled.
Now that Ming Fan has woken up, everyone decided to leave and return to Luohe City.
When they went, they were high-spirited, and when they returned, they were depressed, and Ming Fan and the others came to the Luohe City branch of the Hunter Guild again.
After Wang Gangtan handed over the heart of Iwayama Dragon to the staff of the union, they needed to wait for the union appraiser to complete the appraisal before they could pay them for the task.
In the same way, Ming Fan also has to wait for the appraiser, and after the identification of the Phantom Fox's demon beast Neidan, the hunter union will officially register Ming Fan's identity as a hunter.
After a while, the identification work on Ming Fan's side had been completed, and the staff of the Hunter Guild invited Ming Fan to go to the work area inside the union to register the hunters.
So Ming Fan temporarily said goodbye to Wang Gangtan and the others, and agreed to meet at the inn in the north of the city afterwards.
The working area inside the union can be said to be very different from the environment of the external area, and the outside is full of "nature" atmosphere, the environment of the internal work area is more formal, with sandalwood aromatherapy, jade table case, landscape calligraphy and painting, and brocade screen carving.
The staff motioned for Ming Fan to wait here for a while, and then left. About a moment after a cup of tea, an old man appeared from behind the screen.
"Dare to ask, but the young man hunted the phantom fox?" The old man is tall and thin, his beard and hair are white, although he feels very old, but if you look closely, you will find that the old man's eyes are like electricity, and his eyes are bright.
Ming Fan keenly observed the old man's eyes, and thought in his heart, "This old man is not simple. ”
"Junior Ming Fan, I've seen the old-timers" Ming Fan got up from the chair and bowed his hand, "This demon beast Neidan was indeed taken out of the phantom fox's body. ”
The corners of the old man's mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling, but because the skin on his face was too wrinkled, Ming Fan was not sure whether the old man was smiling or simply twitching the corners of his mouth.
"I don't know what the young man is called, and is it convenient to tell the teacher what faction he is?"
On the rivers and lakes of the Lingzhou Continent, the introduction of strangers to each other is exquisite, first of all, the title, the other party can choose to tell you your real name or pseudonym, or even not to say the name, only to tell you the title when he walks the rivers and lakes, that is also okay, after all, walking on the rivers and lakes, not to say the real name can sometimes avoid a lot of trouble.
Of course, what the other party tells you must be a serious name or title, such as "I am called grandpa", "I am called Dad", "I am called ancestor", etc., and it is not okay to take advantage of ethical baggage.
The other is the teacher, if the other party is unwilling to tell you what kind of sect you are, you can't force others to say it.
In the future, if you can see the teacher's inheritance from the other party's cultivation exercises, then you are very powerful. But the other party doesn't want to say that you can't force people to say it.
Therefore, the old man asked Ming Fan if it was convenient to tell him what school he was taught from.
There was nothing to hide here, so he replied truthfully, "Junior Ming Fan, the teacher of Xuanqingmen." ”
"Xuanqing Gate..... "I haven't heard this name for a long time," said the old man, rubbing his beard. ”
"Seniors know about Xuanqing Gate?" Ming Fan was slightly surprised.
This time, the old man did smile meaningfully, and said, "When I was young, I heard about it. ”
Ming Fan said with a clear expression, "I see." ”
"The topic is far away, the old man's name is Su Yang, and he is the chief appraiser of the Luohe City branch of the Hunter Union. ”
From the old man's sharp eyes, Ming Fan had actually guessed the identity of the old man, but he didn't expect that this old man would be the chief appraiser.
Generally speaking, the identification of monster bones and organs is carried out by junior appraisers, and the identification of demon beasts is the work of intermediate appraisers.
Logically speaking, Phantom Fox's Inner Dan belongs to the more common demon beast Inner Dan, so it shouldn't bother the chief appraiser, right?
The old man Su Yang made a gesture of please and said, "Young man, please sit down, come and serve tea." ”
I saw two trade union staff members come up with two cups of tea, and the old man Su Yang said, "Come, young man, please drink tea." ”
"Thank you, senior. ”
Su Yang also picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said, "If the old man is not mistaken, Ming Shaoxia, the inner pill you obtained is from a phantom fox that can already be transformed into a human form?"
Ming Fan's hand holding the teacup suddenly trembled.
How could this scene escape Su Yang's eyes, "It seems that the old man guessed well." ”
Ming Fan felt more and more that the old man in front of him was terrifying.
"Don't be too careful, it's just that when the old man came out to move his legs and feet, he found that an intermediate appraiser in the union was identifying a demon beast Neidan, so he went up and happened to be curious, and found that the quality of this Neidan was slightly different from the usual Phantom Fox Neidan, so the old man made this inference based on experience, and now it seems that the old man's eyes have not degenerated to the extent that the old man's eyes are dizzy, haha. Su Yang explained to Ming Fan.
[Instead of being dizzy, the older you get, the more treacherous you become]
Ming Fan complimented: "The seniors' eyes are like torches, which is really admirable to the juniors." ”
"Although the Phantom Fox does not have as high a cultivation requirement for transforming into a human form as the rest of the fox demon beasts because of the special talent of its race, but the young man can kill him at a young age, so it can be seen that the cultivation is not low, and he is really young and promising. Su Yang praised.
Ming Fan didn't explain that when he fought with Phantom Fox Qiu Cang, it had already consumed most of its demon power, but smiled humbly, waiting for Su Yang's next words.
"Actually, I invited the young man here because I have something I want to ask you for. ”
