Chapter 17: The Hiding Place of the Evil Thing
After demonizing the form, he married a wife and had children, and the offspring has been in human form since birth, no different from humans, the only difference is that he can inherit some of the talents in the "bloodline".
When the offspring reproduce offspring, the number increases, reaching thousands, that is, the source of "tribes" and "groups".
There is one biggest difference between humans and demons.
After the demon transforms, it can change back to its original form at will, and even be abolished and cultivated, and forcibly returned to its original form, such as the snake demon.
Man loses this ability.
Don't say good, don't say bad, in short, humans and demons blend with each other, and the boundaries have long been blurred.
Shi Bufan didn't understand it at first, thinking that people were humans and demons were demons, but he understood the truth after an old confused explanation.
So strictly speaking, Xiangxin is not a demon, nor a fox, but a descendant of a "demon".
Noon.
The sun was scorching, shining through the window into the room, and it was very warm and comfortable.
The shadows of the three of them elongated as the sun moved, inch by inch.
They didn't have time to observe the shadows, they were all staring at the Cave Mirror.
In the mirror is the fragrant heart of the fox-faced human body, she doesn't dare to move, and she has to endure it in the blink of an eye, for fear that something will go wrong.
"Come closer!" ordered the old fool.
Xiangxin dared to move, and hurriedly took two steps forward, her toes just a foot away from the mirror.
Apart from a hint of fluctuation, there is no other change on the mirror.
"Closer!"
Xiangxin continued to walk forward, and her figure became clearer and clearer in the Cave Mirror, but no evil or foreign objects appeared.
"Strange!" even the old fool was stunned, "keep walking!"
Xiangxin walked directly in front of the cave mirror, and the distance between her toes was less than half a zhang.
Her whole body is presented in the mirror, and if there is a demon hidden, her original form will definitely be revealed.
"Turn around!"
Xiangxin was very obedient, and turned around according to the old fool's instructions, but the result remained unchanged.
"Old fool, could it be that the mirror is broken?" Shi Bufan said.
The old fool shook his head, his expression was more serious than ever, "No!"
"The problem should be Xiangxin!"
This kind of strange thing is the first time the old fool has encountered it.
Knowing that there is something strange about Xiangxin, he can't find out whether he is alive or dead.
It is said that the cave mirror is a magic weapon of the immortals, which can observe all things in the world and the world, observe all the demons and monsters, even the gods are in the mirror and have nothing to hide, no matter how clever the spell is, it can not deceive the cave mirror.
However, it is ineffective for incense.
There are two possibilities, one is that the evil thing is not in Xiangxin's body and has already escaped, and the other is that the evil thing is strong against the sky, enough to hide from the cave mirror.
The latter, almost impossible.
And what about the former?
The old fool has placed a ban on the surroundings, and the evil thing cannot escape, but can only hide somewhere.
Thinking about it, the old fool began to scan the whole room, from the roof to the ground, from the wooden bed to the table and chairs, not even a single brick was spared, his gaze was like two sharp swords, slowly slashing down.
Although the old fool didn't spit out a word, the master and apprentice had the same mind, and Shi Bufan also began to pay attention to the entire room, looking for traces of demons and evils.
Today's weather was exceptionally good.
Clear and cloudless.
Dazzling sunlight spilling through the window.
The shadows of the three of them cast on the ground, obscuring a large area of darkness.
People move, and so do shadows.
Looking at the ordinary shadow, Shi Bufan suddenly chuckled in his heart, as if he was stuck in his throat, and wanted to speak, but he forgot to speak because he was surprised.
He found that the shadows of the three were very strange.
It is normal for Shi Bufan and the shadows of the old fool to be one big and one small, after all, the old fool is much shorter than Shi Bufan.
But Xiangxin's shadow was long and wide, like a giant beast lying on the ground, even bigger than Shi Bufan's shadow!
Hell yes!
"Shadow! Shadow!" Shi Bufan shouted.
The old fool reacted quickly, and when he heard Shi Bufan's shout, he immediately moved the cave mirror and pasted it at the foot of Xiangxin, just shining the shadow on the ground in the mirror.
Suddenly, the three of them looked into the mirror, and the shadow of Xiangxin was blood-red, as if there was a large pool of blood flowing on the ground.
Scarlet Shadows?
There must be weirdness!
The old fool casually put away the cave mirror, and at the same time cast a spell on Xiangxin's body to prohibit her, so that she would not be invaded by evil things again.
No wonder no matter how you use the cave mirror, you can't show the change, it turns out that the evil thing is not on the incense heart, but hidden in the shadow!
It's so cunning!
In fact, who would dare to think that the shadow of a person can hide things!
Even the old fool didn't think about it.
"Xiangxin, follow me!"
The old fool grabbed Xiangxin's arm, directly cast a spell to teleport, and brought it to the palace next to it, and then shrouded it with a spell, isolating the main hall, laying a prohibition, and the bright hall immediately fell into darkness.
"Boy, light the lamp!" cried the old fool.
Shi Bufan hurriedly ran over, hurriedly lit a fire, and lit a candle.
The main hall lit up, illuminating all the shadows of the three people, and stretched thin and long on the ground.
Especially the shadow of Xiangxin, which is twice as long as Shi Bufan, is extremely weird.
"Old fool, this evil thing is hidden in the shadows, do you have a way?" asked Shi Bufan.
The old fool kept rubbing his beard and said thoughtfully: "With my mana, I can't separate the evil from the shadow, but there is another way. ”
"What's the way?" Shi Bufan and Xiangxin asked at the same time.
The old fool pointed to the shadow of the incense heart, and said slowly: "Cutting...... Shadow!"
"What?"
"Cutting?"
The two of them were shocked when they heard it, Mo said that Xiang Xin had never heard of it, and Shi Bufan had heard of it for the first time.
Shadows, can they be cut?
The old fool nodded and explained, "Use a spell to cut off Xiangxin and her shadow, so that the evil thing is still hidden in the shadow, and there is no threat to Xiangxin, so it is easier to deal with." ”
It's actually quite simple.
If a person is poisoned in the arm, the toxicity spreads.
In order to save his life, the person's arm must be cut off in time.
It's the best way to do it.
Now Xiangxin is facing a similar situation.
"Grandpa Mountain God," Xiangxin stared at her shadow in fear and shuddered, "Cutting the shadow will ...... Does ......it hurt? I'm afraid it hurts!"
"Hehe!" the old fool laughed out loud, "silly boy, the shadow is not your hands and feet, it won't hurt, but from now on, you will never have a shadow." ”
Xiangxin breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good if it doesn't hurt!
Shadows, are they useful to people?
It doesn't seem to be of any use.
A person cannot walk without legs and feet, cannot hold things without arms, is blind without eyes, and cannot speak without a mouth......
But there is no shadow, no effect.
So Xiangxin agreed very simply, "Grandpa Mountain God, then cut off my shadow!"
