Professor Huang sensed something.
He frowned and asked Lin Xi.
"The fox here, does it refer to the fox's soul?"
Lin Xi nodded.
"To be precise, it's the soul of a fox demon."
Because this hibiscus stone fox sculpture contains not only yin energy, but also demonic energy.
Fox demon!
As soon as these words came out, Professor Huang and the person in charge were shocked again.
Fox demon, which means it is a "monster"!
They have only heard of the word "㱕" in strange stories or film and television dramas.
The person in charge immediately asked, "But aren't monsters very powerful? How could they die and their souls be sealed in this stone?"
It should be sealed, right?
Otherwise, it can't be that the fox demon was depressed and came in here, and then stayed here for hundreds of days?
The person responsible for this speculation believes that the explanation does not make sense.
But Lin Xi directly denied his guess and told him.
"This fox demon's soul is not sealed inside."
Although the souls of humans, ghosts, and monsters are different, the specific sealing methods are actually similar.
No matter which sealing method is used, clues can be seen.
Either there are talismans or other magical instruments with external seals, or there are specific blessing techniques.
The former can be seen by outsiders with the naked eye, while the latter can be felt by people in the Xuanmen sect.
Lin Xi did not see any sealing talismans, magical instruments, or blessing spells.
From this, it can be seen that the soul of the fox demon is not sealed in the Hibiscus stone fox.
There is also another reason that proves that the fox demon is not sealed in the stone sculpture.
Lin Xi glanced around the exhibition hall and then told Professor Huang and the person in charge.
"The fox demon's soul is not in this stone sculpture now."
In other words, it can go out and wander.
If it is sealed, let alone wandering around, it cannot even leave the stone sculpture. It can only be trapped in the stone sculpture forever until the seal is lifted.
Lin Xi was able to discover that there was a fox demon soul in this hibiscus stone sculpture only because he felt the breath of the fox demon soul inside.
Professor Huang and the person in charge were shocked again after hearing this.
"What? It can still wander around?!"
Person in charge: "Then, then, then where is it now?"
As he spoke, he looked around fearfully, as if he could see the soul of the fox demon.
I couldn't help but complain quietly in my heart.
This fox demon is really stupid!
Why don’t you just stay in the stone sculpture? Why are you running around?
It voluntarily stayed in the stone sculpture, there must be a special reason. But it dared to run around everywhere. Isn’t it afraid that the stone sculpture will be stolen or destroyed?
He was now beginning to suspect that it was the fox demon's spirit that had secretly escaped from the stone sculpture and was later seen by Xiao Yu and the others, which was why it was attracted and fell from the building.
But can ordinary people see the soul of a fox demon?
Also, why does it have to stay in a stone sculpture for no reason?
These questions cannot be answered for the time being, we can only find the soul of the fox demon first.
Fortunately, the fox demon did not leave the museum, and there is not even this exhibition hall.
Because Lin Xi could feel the breath of the fox demon, but he couldn't determine its exact location.
It's like every corner in the exhibition hall could be where it is now, or it could be none of them.
This is a fox demon who is good at hiding.
Lin Xi looked down at the Hibiscus stone fox sculpture, raised his hand and casually brushed the glass protective cover of the stone sculpture.
The next second, she suddenly lowered her voice and quickly reminded Professor Huang and the person in charge.
"No matter what you see later, don't be nervous, and don't run around. With my amulet, you won't be in danger."
Before Professor Huang and the person in charge could figure out why she said this, they saw Lin Xi turn around quickly, and several talismans flew out of his hands. The four talismans flew directly to all four sides of the exhibition hall.
The four talismans fell accurately in the four directions of the exhibition hall, as if surrounding the entire exhibition hall.
Just after the four talismans stopped at four positions, before Professor Huang and the person in charge could figure out what the talismans would do next, all the lights in the exhibition hall suddenly went out!
In order to protect the objects from pollution and exposure to sunlight, there are no windows in the exhibition hall, only one door for entry and exit.
The "Hibiscus Stone Carved Fox" is located at the innermost side of the exhibition hall. It is a long distance away from the main door and there is also a corner in between.
The little light from the doorway cannot penetrate in at all, so the lighting can only rely on the lights in the exhibition hall.
But now all the lights in the exhibition hall were out, and Professor Huang and the person in charge had only average eyesight, so they were suddenly plunged into darkness.
With their vision blocked, the two's first reaction was nervousness and panic, and they subconsciously wanted to seek safety.
Just as the two of them were about to move, they remembered what Lin Xi had just told them in advance.
They have amulets in their hands, don't be nervous, they won't do anything.
Thinking of this, the two of them calmed down temporarily and did not move. They couldn't help but hold the amulet tightly, and even subconsciously slowed down their breathing.
In a place where they couldn't see, Lin Xi clasped his hands together and used his spiritual power to control the four talismans to continue exploring in their respective directions.
The fox demon was good at hiding. If Lin Xi went to look for it in every direction one by one, it was very likely that when she came to the left, the fox demon would have quietly run to the right.
If that's the case, then she wouldn't be stupid enough to go look for it herself.
Anyway, she is mostly a "helper".
Just now, she seemed to be casually stroking the protective shield of the "Hibiscus Stone Fox", but in fact she was extracting the aura of the fox demon. Then she quickly dispersed its aura into the four talisman papers, allowing them to follow this aura to find the fox demon's trace.
As for the lights in the exhibition hall suddenly going out, this should also be the work of the fox demon.
Maybe it thought Lin Xi was going to look for it and wanted to create some difficulties for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi just stood there, watching the four talismans infused with his spiritual power begin to explore within their respective ranges.
Suddenly, there was a response from one of the talismans.
The fox demon reacted quickly and started to run away immediately after realizing that it had been discovered.
As soon as it moved, the talisman paper also moved, and even the other three talisman papers sensed it and quickly flew over there.
Soon, the area surrounded by the four talismans became smaller and smaller, forming a smaller square again, and no matter which direction the fox demon wanted to run, the four talismans would move with it.
Finally, when the talisman paper encircled it and it had nowhere to escape, the fox demon's soul finally appeared.
Professor Huang and the person in charge, who were still trying to minimize their presence in the darkness, suddenly heard a strange cry, like the cry of some animal, but they couldn't tell what animal it was.
The cry, mixed with anger and irritation, suddenly exploded in the quiet exhibition hall.
The two of them shuddered and almost jumped up at the sound.
In Lin Xi's sight, he could clearly see the gray fox-like figure trying to attack the four talismans surrounding it.
Without waiting for its attack to land, Lin Xi rushed over quickly and took back the four talismans.
The fox demon in front of him had lost its target and could only turn its gaze to Lin Xi.
Seeing Lin Xi, the fox demon spirit suddenly chuckled.
"I didn't expect that there are still capable people in this era."
The fox demon blurted out a female voice.
Before Lin Xi could say anything, the fox demon continued.
"Since you're here, I won't waste our time. I was the one who caused the three people to fall from the building."
Lin Xi frowned slightly.
It seems that this fox demon has already prepared for someone to come looking for her?
Or was she deliberately making such a commotion to get people to come looking for her?
No matter who she was waiting for to find her, Xiao Yu and the others were innocent.
She attracted other people's attention in this way, which obviously harmed innocent people.
Lin Xi's face darkened. After the fox demon finished speaking, he gathered his spiritual power in his palm and sent a palm wind towards the fox demon's soul.
The fox demon sensed danger, his expression changed, and he subconsciously tried to dodge, but he didn't expect Lin Xi's attack to be so fast and urgent.
Most of her life's cultivation had vanished with the demise of her physical body. Although her soul had rested for hundreds of days, it only had less than a fraction of its former strength.
Therefore, even if Lin Xi only used 20% of his strength in this palm strike, the fox demon was completely unable to withstand it, and her soul became several inches more transparent than before.
The fox demon huddled into a ball, finally not daring to act as calm and composed as before.
She immediately apologized to Lin Xi in a trembling voice.
"Master, I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. I was too presumptuous just now. Please be magnanimous and let me go!"
Lin Xi looked at the fox kneeling on the ground with an expressionless face.
"When you attacked those three innocent people, did you ever think of letting them go?"
The fox demon froze and remained silent for a while before speaking in a low voice.
"Master, I was indeed wrong in this matter. But I didn't intend to put them to death. I just wanted them to do me a favor... After they succeed, I will repay them with the last of my cultivation."
She had thought of all this in advance.
Listening to her words, Lin Xi frowned again.
"Who are you trying to attract by doing this?"
If she did this just to get the museum staff to find a master to investigate the matter, then Lin Xi would be standing here now. If the fox demon's wish was fulfilled, she would not look like this.
Therefore, fox demons and others are not masters.
Perhaps, she wanted to use the "Master" to help her convey some information to someone?
That person should be the one the fox demon wants to meet.
The fox demon didn't expect Lin Xi to figure everything out so quickly. At this moment, his tone became more respectful and more frank.
She gave a wry smile.
