Chapter 119 I want to borrow Xu Bai's fate (8000)
After the masked man finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to turn cold.
The man in the black robe was still bowing his head, waiting for the order from the masked man.
When he heard this sentence, his brows frowned.
Last method?
what is that?
As a spy, the man in black knew very well that that was what he most wanted to know.
But now they are leaving, and the man in black proposed to leave again, so he doesn't want to say more now.
At this time, he also understood the real intention of Xu Bai's approach.
Those who can be spies are definitely not stupid. If their brains were not flexible, they would have been discovered long ago, and there would be no bones left.
Xu Bai wants him to play the final role. Once the masked man wants to make a big move, he can only be used when no one is available.
If he is really used, he will have the opportunity to pass on information, and even cooperate with the inside and outside to take down the masked man and the authentic movement in one fell swoop.
"I didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, it would be finished because of this man?" the black-robed man was thinking as he walked.
They gradually walked away and slowly disappeared into the dark alley.
…
A major event happened in the Yunlai Mansion, and this event was passed on in a hurry. The entire Yunlai Mansion, from the major families to the ordinary people, all knew about it.
Just last night, many family members gathered together to attack and kill the new magistrate of Yunlai Mansion, but all of them failed.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
Assaulting an official ordered by the court is a felony in the Great Chu State, and it is the most important.
Even if you are a relative of the emperor, you will end up being killed in the fall.
Especially the government decree, which is already considered low among the Jingzhou government roads. If it is known by Jingli, the consequences will be self-evident.
Yun Zihai's method of handling this matter is relatively straightforward. He just explained that he was attacked last night, and the mess at the scene can explain everything.
In these families, there are actually some forces, but when they heard that the magistrate was attacked, they all became dumb and dared not say a word.
I still have to hang out in Dachu. It’s fine if I don’t get questioned by Xingshi at this time. Who dares to ask?
And Yun Zihai was also extremely clever, taking this opportunity, using this excuse, to call the heads of the various families over, and under some coercion and lure, he gradually consolidated his authority.
This kind of attack on the court officials, if the point is made, a letter goes straight to the capital, and the family involved will be jointly and severally guilty.
With this reason, all the major families bowed their heads and obeyed orders, expressing that they all listened to Lord Yun's orders.
In this situation, when Yun Zihai was alone, he even inadvertently sighed.
"Brother Xu is really my lucky star. I didn't expect to be able to solve this incident by the way. It's really unexpected."
Holding a book in his hand, he was rushing to Xu Bai's place.
This is his method of cultivation, a book written by a fifth-grade scholar.
When they were ambushed that day, they agreed to Xu Bai, and this matter required extra money.
After thinking about it, I still feel that I should give this thing to Xu Bai.
The books of Qingyun Academy should not be circulated, but this book is not Qingyun Academy, but Yun Zihai got it from a dilapidated academy.
That academy has already existed in name only, and the book in his hand is also an extinct copy.
In these years, who hasn't had some adventures?
Since it is a book that has already existed in name only, of course he has absolute dominance.
Moreover, this book is a bit weird. With the characteristics of a scholar, Yun Zihai looked a little frightened, for fear of disturbing his state of mind.
"Since I am already a fifth-rank scholar, I can ask the court for a book by a fifth-rank scholar. I really can't read this book." Yun Zihai thought.
There are two kinds of people in Qingyun Academy.
One is to be admitted to an official career after completing studies, and the other is to stay in the academy as a teacher or continue to be a student.
Of course, in addition to the official career, you can also join the Tianjian Division.
If you leave Qingyun Academy and enter the Great Chu Kingdom, apart from having some connection with Qingyun Academy, Qingyun Academy doesn’t care about the things in this book.
Correspondingly, the court is in charge.
This is also an agreement between Qingyun Academy and the Great Chu State. Some smaller academies do not have this agreement.
And if you enter Tianjiansi, the academy will still manage it.
But most of the scholars would not join Tiansi, after all, official career is what they want.
Of course, there is another possibility, which is to enter the rivers and lakes directly.
The possible consequence of this is that no one cares.
Yun Zihai guessed that when the time comes to write a secret letter and hand it over to the capital, the book must be required.
Thinking about this, he has already arrived at Xu Bai's room.
In the room, Xu Bai leisurely sat on the chair.
Beside Xu Bai, the fifth-grade paper figurine was serving tea and pouring water, even rubbing Xu Bai's shoulders and legs.
After what happened last time, Xu Bai asked Liu Er to return to Yinyi, while he continued to stay in the government office.
After all, the matter has not been resolved, and it will not be too late to go to Yinyi after it is resolved.
Seeing this scene, the corner of Yun Zihai's mouth twitched.
He has read a lot of books, but he still knows some tricks.
If the technique of making paper does not reach the corresponding threshold, the success rate of making these things is not very high, especially the fifth-grade paper figurines.
It’s really made, everyone is a treasure, for fear of encountering it, how can it be as casual as Xu Bai.
If you make a fifth-rank paper figurine from a fifth-rank book, there is a chance of failure unless you reach the full level.
"Brother Xu is probably not at the full level." Thinking about it, Yun Zihai couldn't help shaking his head.
In his opinion, with Xu Bai's aptitude, if he single-handedly achieved one, he would have become famous by now.
But he can't control this matter, after all, this is someone else's business, he can only remind him at most.
Thinking about this, Yun Zihai straightened his clothes and walked in.
"Brother Xu is really in a good mood. Most people in this world are not as carefree as Brother Xu."
Came to the front, just sat down, the fifth grade paper figurine brought a cup of tea, and handed it to Yun Zihai.
Xu Bai smiled and said: "When something is made, it is used. If it is not used, it is a waste. Brother Yun, did you discover anything when you came here this time?"
Yun Zihai took a sip of tea, shook his head, and said: "I didn't find anything, the other party seemed to be missing, and there was no news about the man in black, but it's only been a day, it's still early, I'm here this time , I gave this to Brother Xu."
As he spoke, Yun Zihai handed over the book in his hand.
Of course Xu Bai understood what it was, and as he took it, he said politely: "Oh, it was a joke at the time, but I didn't expect Brother Yun to take it seriously. If that's the case, I can't let Brother Yun down."
Yun Zihai: "..."
Why do you feel something is wrong when you give something away?
After Xu Bai said a few polite words, he stopped talking and opened the book in his hand.
There is a progress bar, and he already knew it the first time he saw this book.
It's just that Yun Zihai is here. According to the normal progress, after obtaining a new book, of course, he opened it immediately.
It looks like, I still have to do it.
The cover of the book is a bit old, and the name on it cannot be read clearly.
When Xu Bai opened the first page, it was closed in an instant, and then his eyes became extremely funny.
"Unexpectedly, Brother Yun, who is handsome, is so good?"
The content on the first page is so bare of rhetoric that it is simply outrageous.
But this literary talent is still very good, just by looking at it, I feel addicted to it, and even make up the scene in my mind.
This is an ancient version of Little X Book.
There were so many poses that opened Xu Bai's horizons.
"I have to say, at least in terms of literary talent, there is something to learn from." Yun Zihai blushed, and said: "If Brother Xu doesn't like it, how about I change it for you in a few days?"
Shame!
I knew I wouldn't take it out!
I Yun Zihai is a gentleman, but now I come up with this kind of book, what will Brother Xu think of me in the future?
Thinking of this, Yun Zihai felt ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.
"No need, things exist and have their own reasons. We cannot deny its value because of its content, except for mosquitoes." Xu Bai said with a serious face.
Yun Zihai was taken aback by this serious expression.
"Since Brother Xu likes it, I'm relieved." Yun Zihai cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll deal with other matters."
After finishing speaking, Yun Zihai didn't wait for Xu Bai to agree, he was rude for the first time, and left as if flying, for fear of staying a second longer.
Xu Bai looked at the back of Yun Zihai leaving, and sighed: "Students are still thin-skinned..."
There is a progress bar, that is a good thing, as for the content, it doesn't matter.
What's more, the process of his liver progress bar is very boring, and the content on it is extremely exciting, which just matches each other.
Thinking about this, Xu Bai plans to start liver.
But before he got sick, Chu Yu came in from the outside with a small notebook in his arms and a few buns.
Xu Bai put away the book in a panic, which aroused Chu Yu's doubts.
"Master, what are you doing?" Chu Yu put the steamed stuffed bun on the table foolishly, and put his head into Xu Bai's hand vigorously: "Is there something interesting hidden, show me..."
Xu Bai pressed Chu Yu's head and said, "Study."
As soon as these two words came out, Chu Yu immediately became quiet, stood up straight, and looked serious.
Xu Bai nodded in satisfaction. The teaching during this period is still useful, which is a good response.
Just kidding, how could it be possible for Chu Yu to see the contents of this book, if he saw it, wouldn't he be completely dead?
"Okay, we have class today." Xu Bai said after taking a bite of the bun.
Chu Yu took out her small notebook and seemed to be listening carefully.
Xu Bai taught the next course in great detail.
Time gradually passed, and when all the courses were finished, Chu Yu was about to leave, but was stopped by Xu Bai.
Seeing the doubts on Chu Yu's face, Xu Bai pondered for a moment, and then asked.
"The practice of immortal body, have you heard of it?"
He thought about it, and decided to ask Chu Yu.
Chu Yu is a member of the royal family and the daughter of King Shengyou. She has been carefully trained by the emperor. She has actually learned a lot. In terms of knowledge, she is wider than Yun Zihai.
So asking Chu Yu is the best choice.
The skill of Immortal Body is disabled at present, lacking the rebirth of broken limbs that Xu Bai wants most, he wants to know how to get it.
"The Immortal Body?" Chu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then realized, and said, "Isn't this a Taoist technique? It is said that it was created by a genius of the Taoist school, and it has long since disappeared."
"No more?" Xu Bai frowned and said, "What do you mean no more?"
"It's said that the body can't be destroyed when you practice this exercise to the extreme." Chu Yu tilted his head, and Liu Mei became entangled: "That genius died a long time ago, on the way to create the exercise."
Speaking of this, Chu Yu paused, and sighed: "Creating exercises is an astonishing talent. He has already succeeded, so it's good to stop here, but he discovered a defect in the immortal body."
"Where is the defect?" Xu Bai's eyes lit up.
Listening to this kind of news is undoubtedly the most exciting, especially when it comes to the indestructible body.
"What is immortal is only the physical body, but the soul cannot be immortal." Chu Yu pointed to his head, and said: "So that Taoist genius wanted to improve again, but something went wrong, and the soul died directly. It’s early, it’s still the period of the Great Wind Country.”
Improved exercises?
The soul is dead?
Xu Bai rubbed his chin, lost in thought.
From what Chu Yu said just now, it can be known that at present, it is very difficult to obtain the cultivation method of the immortal body.
Everyone is dead, how can I get it?
Moreover, the disadvantages of this exercise are too great, especially in terms of spirit.
Shenhun, that is, the soul, that is, consciousness.
If there is no soul and only a physical body, what is the use?
"It seems that we still need to rely on the progress bar to continuously integrate and gradually improve it by ourselves." Xu Bai thought in his heart.
While he was in a daze, Chu Yu rolled his eyes, stretched out his little white hand, and gently touched Xu Bai's chest.
There is where Xu Bai put the book just now.
Chu Yu had a look of excitement on his face.
Hmph, it must be something fun, the young master hid it on purpose and didn't show it to me.
Seeing that she was about to approach, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed her fair wrist.
Chu Yu raised her neck innocently, looked at Xu Bai, and said, "Master, there is ashes on your chest..."
Xu Bai let go of his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back and review today's homework first."
Seeing what Xu Bai said, and not getting her own things, Chu Yu could only leave dejectedly.
After Chu Yu left, Xu Bai picked up the book in his arms and continued to read the progress bar.
In the future, there will be some time for the indestructible body to slowly merge. The most important thing now is to fill up this book first.
The progress bar is constantly increasing, and Xu Bai continued reading leisurely while reading the contents of the book.
…
Xu Bai is on the liver progress bar, but on the other side, the masked man is not doing well.
"My lord, my subordinates have verified that Yun Zihai has taken advantage of this opportunity to manage all the families. Everyone in those families is in danger. I am afraid that Yun Zihai will write a letter to the capital, and it will not be easy to infiltrate." Standing aside, bowing down and saluting, he said all the things he had checked.
Since the last incident, the man in the mask has become extremely silent. Although he didn't say anything, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the man in the mask is at the end of his rope.
After hearing the report from the man in black, the man in the mask was still in a daze. After a while, he waved his hand.
"Leave them alone."
The man in black hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "My lord, you said last time that there are other plans, can we take action?"
After thinking about it, he decided to ask.
It is harmless to ask at the current timing, after all, in the masked man's mind, the man in black robe is now on the same boat as him.
The masked man didn't answer when he heard the words, but took out a wooden box and a map from a hidden place.
When these two things were taken out, the man in black tried his best to keep calm, but his heart was full of waves.
This is what he always wanted, a real map!
Since he entered Yunlai Mansion, he has been looking for opportunities, but the map has been carried by the masked man, so there is no chance at all.
Now I see it, if he hadn't tried his best to restrain himself, he would have been exposed by now.
Because the black-robed man restrained himself very well, the masked man didn't notice it.
The man in the mask looked at the map and the wooden box, stroked it gently with his hand, and talked to himself, as if he was talking to the man in black.
"I tried my best to raise Fengshui with the body of Dafeng, who had a great hatred against Dachu, in order to destroy Dachu's Fengshui and make it slump."
"It was about to succeed. Yunlai Mansion will soon have no feng shui to speak of. At that time, a large number of people will die. The place where Yunlai Mansion is located will be a barren land."
"But what I never expected was that Xu Bai and Yun Zihai jumped out halfway, and my plan was shattered in an instant."
"Now, it's just about controlling what I can control."
When a person succeeds, he needs to confide in others, and when a person fails, he also needs to confide in others.
The masked man now looks extremely crazy.
The man in black heard all this in his ears, and his heart kept churning.
Destroying the Feng Shui pattern, extinct vitality, a barren land?
It turned out that the dark building had this kind of thought.
The man in black tried his best to control his tone so that there would be no problem with his tone. He asked, "My lord, what do you need my subordinates to do? Please just ask me. As long as my subordinates can do it, I will definitely do my best."
"At this critical moment of life and death, I need you to take half of the jade and the map, go to the tunnel, and put the jade at this point." The masked man pointed to the mark on the map, and said slowly: "Yun Zihai is half of the jade." Fengshui, I am the other half, since I can't destroy everything in Yunlai Mansion, I will destroy half of it."
As he spoke, the masked man divided the jade and the map into half and handed them to the man in black.
When handing it over to the man in the black robe, he also emphatically told the man in the black robe to be careful.
The man in black robe is holding a jade stone and a map, lost in thought.
He thought about the intention of the masked man.
This time, he and the man in the mask act separately, so there are more chances of success.
The existence of Yun Zihai itself is one of Fengshui, but only half of it, and the masked man as a Fengshui master represents the other half.
Now, since it is impossible to destroy all of them, the masked man wants to destroy half of them, at least it will not make things easier for Xu Bai and the others.
"What are you still doing here, act quickly!" The masked man saw that the black robed man was still standing there, thinking that the black robed man was afraid of death, and said, "At least our location, they don't know, is safe for the time being."
"Yes, this subordinate knows." The man in black bowed, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and said, "What this subordinate is worried about is not life or death, but another matter."
"What's the matter?" the masked man asked.
The man in black robe approached the masked man and said, "Yes..."
Before he finished speaking, the black-robed man was decisive and hit the masked man's chest with a direct palm.
At such a close distance, the masked man had no time to react, and only had time to stamp his foot on the ground.
Belongs to the unique ability of Feng Shui masters, it continues from the ground and finally gathers in the chest.
"Boom!"
The man in the mask was hit with a palm. Although he temporarily blocked a part of it, he still received a huge force and flew backwards, hitting the window, and flew far away.
At this time, the man in black robe didn't continue to pursue him. While the masked man was flying out, he grabbed all the maps and jade, changed direction, and left quickly with the fastest speed in his life.
After he left for a while, the masked man jumped in from the window, looking at the empty table, his eyes were tearing apart.
"You are a traitor! Yes, I said why is it so bad!"
The masked man looked at the open door with a gloomy expression.
Catch it now, before it's too late.
After thinking for a while, the masked man stopped staying and fled in another direction.
"If my opportunity is stolen by you, then the real jade will be destroyed. Xu Bai, Yun Zihai, I want you to die!"
In the empty room, the masked man's voice sounded.
…
The man in black robe came out of the house, not daring to stop at all, and rushed directly towards the government office.
Along the way, no one came to stop him, and it went smoothly, and he arrived at the government office.
He also has no choice. At that time, the best way is to make a decisive move, otherwise he will miss the opportunity.
In fact, he did get what he wanted now, without fail.
When the man in black came in from the wall, the paper figurines in the government office reacted immediately.
Xu Bai, who was in the room, sensed it, put down the book in his hand, and walked directly to the backyard.
After seeing the man in black robe who came, Xu Bai squinted his eyes, and glanced at the things in the man's hand, and asked the paper figurines lurking everywhere to notify Yun Zihai and others.
Yun Zihai and others also rushed over quickly and surrounded the man in black.
"Quick, time is running out, we need to act as soon as possible!"
The black-robed man handed the things in Xu Bai's hands, and explained the cause and effect of the matter as quickly as possible.
"Destroy half of Feng Shui? A barren land?"
After hearing the explanation of the man in black, everyone was slightly surprised.
"He didn't chase you?" Xu Bai asked.
Since this thing is so important, even if the man in the mask dies, he has to chase it back. Now it seems that the other party has no intention of chasing it.
"This is what I'm worried about. He didn't come after him, and there is definitely a last resort. Let's go to different tunnels and maybe we can find it." The man in black said anxiously.
Xu Bai is different, the more anxious he is, the more he needs to calm down.
He took out the map and said: "This tunnel includes the entire Yunlai Mansion, so it is very troublesome."
Yunlai Mansion is too big, if the other party really has this intention, it will be difficult to find out.
"By the way, he told me that the important place to put the jade is at this location." The man in black pointed to half of the map and said.
Xu Bai glanced at it, but still shook his head and said, "If that's the case, we only know the location of half of them, and we don't know anything about the other half."
The man in black sighed, he couldn't help it.
Because of the situation at that time, if you ask the masked man again, it will arouse suspicion.
At this time, Chu Yu raised his hand and said, "Master, I know."
Xu Bai turned his head and looked at Chu Yu.
When he said it was related to Fengshui before, Chu Yu said that he had read books related to Fengshui, but because he was not a Fengshui master, his understanding was superficial.
Now that Chu Yu spoke suddenly, Xu Bai's eyes lit up, he grabbed Chu Yu's hand, brought it closer, and said, "Tell me quickly."
"It should be here." Chu Yu racked his brains for a while, pointed to a position on the other half of the map, and said, "I have seen a similar map in my uncle's study, but it is super big, and this is just a part of it." , there should be a mark on it, it’s here.”
"Your uncle?" Yun Zihai looked puzzled, not understanding what was going on.
"Her uncle is working in the palace." Xu Bai simply fooled: "In that case, let's go."
Xu Bai knows who Uncle Chu Yu is.
Since it was marked by the emperor, it is very likely to be correct.
Although there is still a problem involved in this, that is why the emperor has a label.
This is the Feng Shui bureau, did the emperor know it long ago?
But since they knew it, why didn't they intervene? Instead, they pretended not to know, and let spies like the man in black go to find out the news?
Everyone has their own ideas, and Xu Bai thinks that he can't understand everyone's thoughts, especially the one in the capital.
The most important thing now is to find those two locations and solve the people behind the scenes.
"It seems that we really have to act separately this time." Yun Zihai said.
The two locations are extremely far apart. If you go right and meet the person behind the scenes, then everything will be fine.
But if you go wrong and you don't meet the person behind the scenes, the delay in the middle can easily lead to major incidents.
"I am with Chu Yu, you are with Qin Feng, black robe, you and Yun Zihai, Qin Feng and the others." Xu Bai said.
The man in black robe: "..."
Although I am wearing a black robe, I am not called a black robe!
When Qin Feng heard this sentence, he shook his head decisively and said: "I will follow my cousin, and I will protect her."
Xu Bai quickly shook his head and said, "Are you stronger or me?"
Qin Feng was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.
Although he didn't speak, the meaning was already obvious. He couldn't beat Xu Bai.
"It's better to be with me than you." Xu Bai said.
"Then I will follow you." Qin Feng said again.
After saying this, everyone present frowned.
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "You have no choice. If you follow me again, what will Brother Yun do?"
Qin Feng still remained silent and did not speak.
Yun Zihai wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but unexpectedly Chu Yu spoke.
"Cousin, it's very safe for me to follow the young master." Chu Yu said: "And the people behind the scenes can only go to one place, as long as one of us finds that we are missing, we will do our best to rush there, and the other will hold us back. "
Qin Feng's face showed a tangled look.
His mission is to protect Chu Yu's safety, but in the current situation, the safest thing is to distribute them equally, and he understands this truth.
He and Chu Yu are together, both of them are flying swords, and they also have shortcomings.
But... if this is the case, how can you rest assured?
"I'm stronger than you, I can't protect you, and you can't protect me either. If you follow me directly, I'll follow Yun Zihai." Xu Bai didn't insist, but every sentence hit Qin Feng's point.
After hesitating for a while, Qin Feng finally nodded and agreed.
"Okay, let's go!" Xu Bai put away half of the map and jade, took Chu Yu, and walked in one direction.
Yun Zihai and the others walked in another direction.
…
When they were rushing to their destination, the masked man was moving fast in the hidden tunnel.
"The strong wind back then, how could the tunnel be built so fancy!"
While hurrying, the masked man cursed secretly.
There are too many forks in this tunnel, and there are many detours in many places. Fortunately, he has remembered it, otherwise he will get lost here sooner or later.
"Hopefully in time."
Thinking of this, the masked man quickened his pace.
As time goes by, the masked man is getting closer and closer to his destination.
When he crossed a branch road again, he came to a wider space.
Under this space, there are coffins, densely packed, countless.
Due to the darkness underneath, the man in the mask can only be illuminated by the torch in his hand.
Under the light of the torches, the coffin looked extremely gloomy.
"finally reached."
Hung the torch on the wall, and with the light of the flame, the masked man took off the mask on his face.
Under the mask is a face full of stab wounds, which looks extremely terrifying.
"That day, you killed me Dafeng, you never thought that I would join the dark building." The masked man murmured to himself: "Today, Dafeng's sinner will let the entire Yunlai mansion be buried for the dead Dafeng soldiers."
He couldn't help thinking about the past, thinking of many things.
There is a saying that no matter how bad something is, there is always someone who likes it.
Back then, Dafeng was rotten to the core, but there were always Dafeng's courtiers who still showed their loyalty.
Mask man is one of them.
After escaping by chance, he joined the dark building, in order to deal with the Great Chu Kingdom.
Today, he believes that he can get rid of his shame.
"The guilty minister will use this broken body to destroy half of the city of Yunlai!" The masked man raised his foot and stomped on the ground fiercely.
The energy is transformed into the unique feng shui power of a feng shui master, and under the guidance of the masked man, the feng shui atmosphere of the entire space is driven.
"It will take time to destroy them, please help me, Feng Shui formation, hundreds of corpses!"
The masked man made a gesture, and the power of Feng Shui suddenly changed, and it became extremely stinky.
But he was in it, but he didn't feel it.
At this time, the coffin on the ground shook, and corpses without bones, like boiled noodles, floated in mid-air.
The eerie feeling keeps surrounding me.
This is one of the abilities of a feng shui master, borrowing the life of the dead.
The masked man sat cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes.
There are waves of Feng Shui power on his body, which are constantly pulling away.
After a while, his body was gradually getting weaker.
In the blink of an eye, the man in the mask turned translucent, floating in midair.
He opened his eyes and shook his head.
"It's not enough, it's not enough, I still need to borrow the life of a living person... Wait! Is it Xu Bai who's here? Okay, I'll borrow your life, hahaha!"
Laughter echoed, and amidst the laughter, the man in the mask gradually disappeared into nothingness.
…
Outside a passage, Xu Bai looked at the dark light inside, and sighed, "I miscalculated, I didn't bring a torch."
(end of this chapter)
