Chapter 75: The Eunuch's Fox Pet
"Ready for me? What is it?"
Lin Zhi asked with interest, he felt that he really needed a suitable weapon.
Although he was knowledgeable, he had no experience in killing skills. When fighting the Peach Blossom Demon, he still used his claws and body flexibility to attack, because that was the original owner's way of attack.
"Just finished refining this morning."
Pei Duo took out a small box from the locker and placed it in Lin Zhi's hand.
Looking at the size of this box, it seems like it can't fit a weapon in it?
Lin Zhi opened the box with suspicion and saw a bracelet.
The bracelet is based on silver, decorated with a tiny transparent crystal and three pairs of red bells. Each pair of small bells is fixed somewhere on the silver chain, at equal distances from each other and cannot be moved.
It was a very beautiful bracelet. Lin Zhi picked it up and shook it, but no bell sound was heard.
"It needs to be activated by demonic power. There are runes engraved on it. This pair of bells can confuse the mind and enhance your soul-controlling ability. You can control people with sound. This pair of bells can emit a transparent poisonous mist and go in the direction you control. This pair of bells can leave a false shadow in the original place, giving you space to escape. When you inject 30% of demonic power into it, it will turn into a sword that moves with the demonic power. The length is controlled by you."
Pei Duo opened his mouth and explained to Lin Zhi in detail the function of each pair of bells and the complete form of the bells' transformation.
This is a transformation weapon that he asked a master to forge. The three effects were created by talismans he personally engraved. This was very time-consuming, so he only took it out today.
Pei Duo originally intended to give Lin Zhi a surprise, but he didn't expect that someone had sent weapons before him, which made him unhappy.
"Thank you, sir. I like it very much!"
When Lin Zhi heard it, she knew that Pei Duo had put a lot of thought into it, and she put it on happily.
It can release poison when advancing and escape when retreating, it can fight and control. This thing is perfect for Lin Zhi's character who likes to shoot sneak attacks.
Pei Duo rubbed his head, thinking that this was much better than the broken peach branch.
"Due to the limited carrying capacity of the material, this poisonous fog and false shadow can only be released three times at most, and then I will need to draw the talisman again."
Pei Duo gave a reminder, worried that the little fox was released for fun. It would take time to draw the talisman, and it would be bad if the little fox encountered any danger during that time.
"Yes, I see."
Lin Zhi nodded and played with the bell in his hand. It was better if it didn't make any sound normally so as not to get in the way.
Pei Duo looked into Lin Zhi's bright eyes, but waited for no further words to come.
I see. Is that all?
At least throw yourself into his arms and act coquettishly? Isn’t there a plot like this in the storybook he’s reading? Why doesn’t he know how to use it? Stupid fox!
In order to prevent Lin Zhi from seeing any messy content, Pei Duo would always quickly read through the script sent to Lin Zhi.
After realizing what he was thinking, Pei Duo found himself amused.
After he touched the little fox's soft path, he was afraid that it could no longer return to its position as an ordinary master pet.
He doesn't want to keep a pet now, he clearly wants to keep a lover.
The boy in front of him suddenly turned back into a fox, and uttered a surprised sound: "It will shrink with me!"
The small silver bracelet is wrapped around the fox's slender wrist. The collision of red and purple is a very vulgar color, but on the little fox it is beautiful and cute.
Pei Duo bent down, held the little fox in his arms, and introduced him to the master who cast the bracelet.
It doesn’t matter if the little fox doesn’t throw itself into his arms, he will just hold it.
"You've really grown up."
Pei Duo combed the fox's soft fur with his fingers and could actually feel that he had grown a little bigger.
However, the bell had shrunk, thanks to his pampering over the past few days, and the stock inside had been used up.
If he wasn't worried that Lin Zhi's body couldn't bear it, even a monster would be the same, not much different from a human, so he blocked it. Otherwise, Lin Zhi would definitely be much weaker at this time.
The area below the bell is often slightly red, so the little fox dare not lift its tail when walking, and can only cover it with its fluffy tail.
"Because my cultivation has been restored, this is the appearance of my adult body, which is similar to the childhood stage. But if it is a complete body, it is probably not much different from an adult."
Lin Zhi raised his chin and said with some pride.
He could make his fox body very big, but there was no need to do so since he didn't need to fight now.
It’s not that he has completely refined the Peach Blossom Demon’s demon pill, but that he has absorbed Pei Duo’s spiritual energy.
The boy's body is full of yang energy. Although Pei Duo's body was taken away by a ghost, the magic he practiced from the Demon Suppression Bureau still makes his essence have domineering spiritual power.
It would take some time for Lin Zhi to digest what he had started with, let alone a day and a night. Later on, it would take at least once every night, and he was too busy to even refine them all.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhi looked at Pei Duo with resentment and said, "If it weren't for you, sir, I would have refined the Peach Blossom Demon's demon pill long ago."
"Hmm? Hasn't it been refined yet?"
Pei Duo was a little surprised. He thought Lin Zhi had already digested the demon pill.
Thinking about what Lin Zhi said about blaming him, Pei Duo quickly understood the order of priority and said, "First refine the demon pill, there is no need to rush for the others, they will be there at any time."
That day, Pei Duo had tasted the sweetness of life and it was the first time in 24 years that he became enlightened, so he naturally indulged himself a little.
"The demon pill can wait, but the others can't. It would be a pity if they were leaked out."
The little fox said bluntly, looking like he didn't want to waste anything at all.
Pei Duo paused while touching the fox's tail, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Change into a human form again, and I'll see if there is any effect on the bell after the transformation back and forth."
The fox couldn't stand it any longer and jumped away from Pei Duo's hand, gritting his teeth and saying, "Sir, no matter how stupid I am, I won't fall for the same trick a second time!"
Pei Duo looked at his fox gently and said, "Our Zhizhi is really smart."
Lin Zhi admitted that sometimes people who were similar to him were exactly the same in terms of making others angry.
He lay on the high beam, and where Pei Duo couldn't see him, there was no trace of the atmosphere just now, and his purple eyes were full of smiles.
It's time for some more stimulation, this isn't enough.
A few hours later, Lin Zhi learned from Pei Duo the reason why Monk Mingwu appeared in the palace today.
The emperor was feeling unwell recently, so he invited Master Wu Chen to the palace to give him a lecture.
Of course, thinking that since everyone was here, the emperor also asked the monks of Fanjing Temple to recite sutras for the concubines in the harem so that they could calm their minds before the New Year.
Mingwu and his two disciples went to the queen's palace to preach to the concubines gathered there.
It was just that the two disciples were a step faster when they left, so Lin Zhi met Ming Wu who was alone.
However, Lin Zhi felt that Ming Wu must have done it on purpose. This monk's cultivation was not low, and he might be even better at fortune-telling. He was just waiting for him there.
"He has been feeling unwell lately. Is it because of me?"
Lin Zhi inquired. He had blurred the emperor's memory three times. Although the true dragon energy around the emperor was weak, it was not absent. In addition, he lived in the place where the dragon vein was the strongest, so it was very likely that it was a reminder from his body.
"It should be."
Even so, Pei Duo did not ask Lin Zhi to stop doing this.
"There is one thing I have always found strange, sir. Since the emperor knows that you are from the Demon Suppression Bureau, why doesn't he stop opposing you?"
Lin Zhi had some guesses about this, but he chose to ask for the answer directly.
"He doesn't know."
When Pei Duo said this, his eyes curved slightly, revealing a hint of joy.
From Pei Duo's narration, Lin Zhi learned the unknown parts of the plot.
Although the Demon Suppression Bureau is hidden in the city, there is a difference between humans and demons. People like them who guard the border need to hide their identities to avoid causing panic among the people. If the people knew that monsters were around them, the fright would make them weak, and their belief could give birth to evil spirits. It is better to let them know nothing.
People in the royal family are also ordinary people. The dragon energy only covers the emperor and those with true dragon destiny. Therefore, only emperors of all dynasties and some people in the royal family who joined the Demon Suppression Bureau knew about the existence of the Demon Suppression Bureau.
The chief of the Demon-Suppressing Bureau is an even more mysterious existence, usually only known by the emperor.
Before the previous emperor had the chance to tell the next emperor this secret, he was stopped by Pei Duo.
Pei Duo: "In fact, even if the emperor knew that I was from the Demon Suppression Division, he would still be the same. Everyone who joins the Demon Suppression Division must swear an oath."
The oath is: do not harm members of the royal family, otherwise you will suffer the consequences of your karma; do not harm the emperor, otherwise you will be killed by magic.
The late emperor was not killed by Pei Duo. He was killed by his sons and daughters who were involved in various party struggles. One of them gave him a chronic poison, another gave him a cold, and another made him depressed... After the late emperor learned that Pei Duo had killed the third prince, he was so angry that he died.
Pei Duo said this with great interest: "Those who plotted to murder the royal family were not killed because sometimes the emperor also needed to use the people of the Demon Suppression Division as knives, so naturally he would not do it absolutely."
This made Lin Zhi understand that the karma that Pei Duo had to bear was not only the backlash of driving the evil spirits, but also the backlash of killing the third prince.
"Do you know why the late emperor was confident in letting me stand in the open?"
Pei Duo touched the fox's soft fur and asked questions to test it.
Lin Zhi shook his head. He had some guesses, but needless to say, in this situation, he just shook his head.
"The people in the Demon Suppression Division are just like those monks and Taoists. They all stay away from worldly things so that they can improve their cultivation. The more I stand in the vortex of power, the more useless I will be. In their eyes, a demon suppressor is just a role to kill demons and exorcise ghosts. How can they drive demons and ghosts to hurt people? There is no need to worry about a useless demon suppressor."
Pei Duo became the chief official after the death of the previous emperor.
Pei Duo's master wanted to get rid of an evil demon who could be regarded as his lifelong enemy. Before leaving, he passed the badge of the chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau to him and asked him to swear a curse not to drive demons and ghosts to kill people again.
He didn't use demons or ghosts to kill people, and the third prince was the only exception.
"Master failed, but he also succeeded. He died together with the evil demon that killed his wife, and what was sent back was his sword."
"He often felt sorry for me. If I hadn't interfered with worldly matters, my cultivation could have been improved to a higher level, even unprecedented and unrivaled. But this is not what I want, and it also goes against my original intention."
Lin Zhi pretended to be ignorant and asked: "What is your original intention, to become a big shot?"
Pei Duo chuckled and replied, "I guess so."
He stroked the fox's soft ears and said to the pair of purple eyes, "Why, aren't you worried? My current cultivation is at its peak and it would be difficult to improve even a little bit. Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to get your demon heart back?"
He expressed his fragility and powerlessness in the most understated way, implicitly seeking recognition.
The little fox thought for a while, looked at Pei Duo and answered seriously: "Don't be afraid, you are already powerful enough. If you really can't get it back, then don't give it up. I will be a little demon with only half a heart beside you."
