Chapter 144 The Ship of Knowledge (8000)
As Ye Yu woke up, memories from not long ago echoed in her mind. She remembered the scene where Xu Bai broke her limbs, and her fear grew stronger.
Immediately afterwards, the pain was like the second runner who was running slowly, arriving right after her, causing dense cold sweat to appear on her forehead.
"It hurts..." Ye Yu couldn't help shouting.
Patriarch Ye looked at the members of his family, with a look of unbearableness in his eyes, but it was followed by firmness. The unbearableness that appeared at the beginning has disappeared with the wind: "You answer the questions honestly, and I can replace you I beg Master Xu for mercy, and I will give you a good time."
Ye Yu was slightly stunned, the pain that hit her whole body just now seemed to have slowed down for a moment, then she turned her gaze, looked at Xu Bai's position, and showed a sad smile: "Is it fun... When I plan to do this At that time, I had already thought about the outcome, Mr. Xu, you can ask whatever you want."
Failure is a capital offense, there is no other way to choose, and there is no other way but death.
Ye Yu thought that she should regret it, but if she didn't do it, she would regret it even more. Compared with that kind of long-term torture, she hoped to have a good time.
"What do you know, tell them all. For the sake of your Patriarch, I can make you die happily." Xu Bai said lightly.
She must die.
Even after going through so many things, it still can't change Xu Bai's ruthless attack.
If you have compassion in your heart because this is a woman, then the consequences will definitely lead to disaster and harm yourself.
"The person who asked me to do these things is a demon master. He has a snake wrapped around his waist. It is a black and white snake, and it belongs to the demon clan." Ye Yu said: "He should be a demon master of the royal envoy type. The snake's voice has the ability to bewitch, to be precise, it should not be called bewitching, but it can amplify a person's deepest desire."
She thought about it carefully, thinking about the first time she saw that person and everything that happened after that. The only doubt was the black and white snake.
In the end, when she decided to assassinate Kong Xu, she felt that something was controlling her mind. Now that she thinks about it carefully, her inner desire has been enlarged.
"A black and white snake?"
Xu Bai was fine. When Kong Xu heard this sentence, he showed a surprised expression on his face, as if something that was supposed to be good was shrouded in a layer of fog.
"Master Xu, this person is on the list." Kong Xu said: "The evil spirit master, the second-grade demon master, is good at bewitching people's hearts, amplifying people's desires, and turning them into slaves. Tiansi is wanted."
"Evil Master?" Xu Bai rubbed his chin and said, "Is this what you're talking about a profession?"
"It's not a profession, it's a title given by people in the world. There are good and bad titles, such as Mr. Xu..." Kong Xu suddenly closed his mouth, knowing that he seemed to have said too much.
When these words came out, it seemed that the whole theme was suddenly distorted, and Xu Bai's interest was instantly aroused.
What?
I also have a title. What's going on? Why haven't I heard of it?
Xu Bai asked: "You just said that I have a title, what title do I have?"
When Kong Xu was asked this question, his fluency just disappeared in an instant, and he became hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it: "Master Xu, let's talk about the business, the title matter talk about it later."
"No way!" Xu Bai discovered the blind spot: "Just one sentence will not delay much. Tell me, what is my title?"
In this rivers and lakes, once someone is famous, he will naturally have a title, and this title is not given to him by himself.
If you can add the title yourself, it would be too out of character, and it would not sound good to say it.
So this title was given by people in the Jianghu. Over time, it was handed down and gradually used.
There are good ones and some bad ones, so naturally you can hear them as soon as you hear them.
For example, the demon master of evil heart, it sounds like a person who does no evil.
"Presumably with my personality and charm, the title I get must be a powerful one." Xu Bai said slowly.
Kong Xu gritted his teeth and planned to say it in one breath, but when he heard Xu Bai added this sentence, he was stunned.
"Master Xu's guess is correct, it is indeed Megatron Quartet, but this title, there will be opportunities to learn about it in the future, let's..."
He still wants to fool the past, in short, this sentence cannot come out of his mouth.
Xu Bai also saw the abnormality from Kong Xu's expression, and his face became gloomy: "Is it not good?"
Kong Xu waved his hands again and again when he heard the words: "No, no, it's very good, but it's more bloody. There are two girls here, so it's not good to say it."
The corners of Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.
Bloody?
I am a majestic man, how could I have something to do with blood?
It's so dirty!
Seeing that Kong Xu didn't dare to speak out, Ye Zi couldn't help but pursed his plump lips, smiled, leaned close to Xu Bai's ear, and whispered something with his hands like a megaphone...
After hearing what Ye Zi said, Xu Bai's eyes suddenly widened, and he held the black knife's cracked hand more and more tightly.
"Who passed it on first?"
His voice was murderous, like snowflakes falling on the ground in the twelfth lunar month of winter, adding a layer of frost to the earth.
Kong Xu smiled wryly and said: "Master Xu, this title came out naturally, and we don't know who said it first."
Xu Bai took a deep breath and said, "Blood Butcher Swordsman, **** it, this name has no poetic charm at all, and it's especially uneducated. If you let me know who took it first, I'll wring his head off. "
Everyone: "..."
Looking at it, Xu Bai's aura at the moment really matches this title.
"My lord, having a title is actually the recognition of you in the world. This is a good thing, and it proves that your strength can no longer be underestimated." Ye Zi gently pressed Xu Bai's shoulders, making Xu Bai relax.
As far as talking, Ye Zi is still talking, and a few words made Xu Bai feel a little more comfortable.
"Hurry up and give me a good time." Ye Yu also took this opportunity and said, "I have already said what should be said, and I don't know anything else. I really don't know anything."
She is still suffering from the pain of shattered limbs, so she has no choice but to say it.
It may take a lot of time for them to continue chatting like this, so it's better to have a good time.
As he spoke, Ye Yu closed his eyes.
Before Xu Bai could make a move, the Ye family at the side turned around and said to Xu Bai.
"Master Xu, she is from my Ye family, I want to see her off for the last time, is that okay?"
This sentence is well-founded, and it also plays the emotional card.
Xu Bai looked at Patriarch Ye with interest, stretched out his right hand, and a paper crane flew out, landed on top of Ye Yu's head, and turned into ashes.
The search for traces didn't work, so he said: "Patriarch Ye is indeed a businessman, he has a very good abacus, okay, you can do it."
The words that Patriarch Ye said just now were actually to remove her suspicion and even gain a good reputation for herself. After all, she can kill relatives righteously, and there is nothing to say if she falls outside.
"Thank you, Master Xu."
Patriarch Ye walked up to Ye Yu, raised his hand and was ready to strike.
Ye Yu's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, looked at Patriarch Ye, and said: "Patriarch, I myself am a sinner, but I also understand now that there is something wrong with the family's development model. If things go on like this, we will always just be attached."
"It's not something you should worry about, let's go." Patriarch Ye shook his head and slapped Ye Yu's head with his palm.
The next moment, Ye Yu tilted her head and lost her breath of life.
Patriarch Ye looked at Ye Yu's body, and then at Xu Bai.
Of course she knows the current form, always attached to people.
But now she has found a new countermeasure. As long as Xu Bai arrives in the capital, Ye Zi can fuse the repertoire, and Yinxian Qu, which has reached the second rank, can change the situation.
So, all her treasures are on Xu Bai.
"Three days later, I will go with Mr. Xu at the Water Festival." Master Ye said, "It is also to show my loyalty."
Xu Bai nodded and did not refuse.
If there is one more person, there will be one more strength. Of course, he will not refuse foolishly.
"After three days, my injury should be healed, and I will go with Master Xu at that time." Kong Xu followed.
Xu Bai continued to nod.
This Kong Xu's fortune-telling ability is quite good. After he recovers from his injury, he will do the fortune-telling first, and then go to see the so-called Happy Water Festival.
Up to now, everything has been settled, and Xu Bai didn't stop there. He had to hurry up and go back to Ganyin Xianqu, so he left with Ye Zi and the fourth-grade puppet.
In three days, he reckoned that he should be able to finish the exercise book in his hand, after all, he had also finished it before.
After returning to the room, Ye Zi concentrated on making Xu Bai's bed, while Xu Bai was thinking while looking at the progress bar in his hand.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
In Xu Bai's room, he is concentrating on looking at the book in his hand, the progress bar is slowly growing, and there is only a little bit left to complete.
Ye Zi stood by, obediently, silent.
After about one stick of incense, the progress bar in front of me finally reached completion.
Light blue smoke appeared, and then, a line of words gathered in midair, appearing in front of Xu Bai.
【You observe Yin Xianqu and comprehend Yin Xianqu. 】
The text is simple, and after it appears, it turns into nothingness, and then one after another information drills into his mind.
But the information was only halfway through, and then stopped, and a new light blue smoke appeared.
【Find fusion options, fusion is in progress...】
【Yin Xianqu + Reversed Zixiao Gangfeng Yin-Yang Chaos = Reversed Zixiao Gangfeng Yin-Yang Song. 】
【The fusion was successful. 】
…
The corners of Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.
This golden finger is really bad enough, the name is not easy to choose, and another word was changed at will.
But it’s okay, at least it’s changed, unlike before.
Xu Bai got lazy, handed the Yin Xianqu to Ye Zi, and said, "You keep it and learn it slowly."
As he said that, he watched the light blue text in front of him turn into information again and drill into his mind, and then the true energy in his body increased again.
The latest panel appears.
【Name: Xu Bai. 】
【Realm: Sanren of the third rank. 】

…
Xu Bai: "..."
Good guy, this long-lost 0.5th order reappeared.
This also happened to give him a proof that the current kung fu is already in it, which is considered very good. After all, it is only 7.5th level after incorporating a sixth-level one.
Although there was no major improvement, many changes took place inside him.
In his mind, the soul has grown stronger. At the same time, Xu Bai can feel that his perception of the surroundings has also become stronger. If someone is hiding around, he can easily find it.
Not only that.
The most important thing is that he has mastered Ye Zi's ability.
With a slight movement of his fingers, he drew out the black knife at his waist.
The next moment, the black knife shattered into pieces all over the sky.
These fragments waved in mid-air, performing the five-style Yidao.
And the fragments cast, with bursts of melodious sound, can not only accelerate the fragments, but also affect the opponent.
Ye Zi covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of surprise.
Young master, he...seems to be better than her in terms of soul.
"My lord, are you one of those reincarnated old monsters? I heard that some old monsters can be reincarnated..." Ye Zi muttered in a low voice.
But before he finished speaking, Xu Bai hit him on the head.
Ye Zi covered her head, her face full of grievances.
"What old monster, did you say that about your son?" Xu Bai laughed.
He is very happy now that he has been compensated by the soul.
Ye Zi rolled his eyes, pursed his mouth and said, "My lord, is Ye Zi useless..."
She suddenly felt that she had lost the characteristic of a tool person.
"It's useful." Xu Bai said: "You play, plus my fragment playing, the superposition effect can be stronger."
Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
As long as it is useful, she is afraid that she has no place to help Xu Bai.
"Okay, you can leave now." Xu Bai stood up and walked to the door.
Since the progress bar is exhausted and the time is up, then let's go and see what medicine the other party has sold in the gourd.
Ye Zi took a few quick steps, ran to the door, opened it, and followed Xu Bai out.
…
Kong Xu and Patriarch Ye had been waiting there for a long time, and Elder Sun had recovered a lot during this time, standing in the yard waiting.
When they saw Xu Bai coming, Qiqi greeted him.
"From now on, you can't call me the title of Blood Butcher Swordsman, understand?" Xu Bai said very solemnly.
"Got it, got it." Everyone nodded repeatedly, expressing that they would never raise this title.
Xu Bai then nodded in satisfaction.
At this time, Patriarch Ye spoke.
"Master Xu, the Water Festival starts at night, shall we go there now?"
The Water Festival is an annual festival in Fengling Prefecture.
As a Fengling mansion that advocates melody, melody is integrated into their daily life for them. They understand it more or less from high-ranking officials and nobles to traffickers and pawns. Even in daily life, many people are intoxicated. in.
Once there are too many people, some things will form a festival to celebrate.
Every Leshui Festival, there will be joy boats on the Xunle River.
The so-called Le Chuan is actually a very large boat, and it has such an elegant name only because of the festival.
On the music boat, singing and dancing, enjoying it.
Not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but even ordinary people will board music boats on this day to communicate and exchange rhythms, or listen to beautiful music.
This is a matter of both refined and popular tastes, and it has been spread in Fengling Mansion, and even many outsiders linger here.
"Of course I will go now." Xu Bai said.
There is nothing to do if you stay here, so why not rush over there early to see if anything happens over there.
Patriarch Ye understood, nodded, and stopped talking.
Xu Bai looked at Kong Xu and asked, "By the way, can you figure out something?"
Kong Xu turned his head and said: "Master Xu, I have tried it just now. If there is no basis, it is difficult to figure it out. Maybe I can find some clues tonight, and I can figure out the clues from it."
Xu Bai pondered for a moment.
Maybe I really found something tonight. When I find something, I will ask Kong Xu to do the math to see if I can figure it out.
"Let's go." Thinking of this, Xu Bai said.
Next, Patriarch Ye took the lead and started to rush towards the Xunle River.
…
Ye’s house is still some distance away from Xunle River. They walked for about half an hour before arriving at their destination.
This river is very large and wide, and at this moment, the river, which was rarely visited by people, is already full of all kinds of boats.
Big boats can hold hundreds of people, and small boats can hold five or six people.
People who want to catch up with the excitement and go to the big boats, or want to go to the small boats in seclusion, can choose here.
Not only that, the riverside is overcrowded, and many people have already arrived early.
Those large and small ships are also being arranged.
All kinds of exquisitely shaped lanterns are hung on it, and couplets are even pasted on it, or colored strips are drawn.
A sense of joy and harmony.
"My lord, that is the biggest music boat, Zhile boat." Ye Zi covered her face with a veil, stretched out her white and slender fingers, and pointed in one direction.
Xu Bai looked in the direction Ye Zi pointed, and saw a boat that could accommodate hundreds of people was moored in the center of the river.
In the center of the ship, there is a plaque with the words "Zhile Ship" written on it.
"Who built such a big boat?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, looked back and forth, and asked.
"It's the Lin family, the number one family in the Fengling Mansion." Ye Zi explained: "It is said that their family has intersected with many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. division."
Xu Bai nodded upon hearing this.
These things, he should just listen to the news, as for the others, he is not interested, and now he is only interested in those demon masters.
"That's right." Xu Bai seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Why haven't you guys used musical instruments before?"
He suddenly remembered that the Ye Family is actually a branch of musicians, why Ye Zi had never seen Ye Zi use a musical instrument, only saw Ye Zi use white light to make silk strings to play.
Now that Xu Baiyin's Xianqu has been completed, he naturally understands that if he has a musical instrument, his power will be doubled.
"My lord, the Ye family's musical instruments are all in the Yinxian song in the second volume, so we don't know what to use." Ye Zi said.
The second volume has been lost, of course they can't find it, so they can only use the method of the first volume.
Xu Bai hummed, said no more, and focused on looking at Jiang.
At this moment, there are more and more people, and as time goes by, the sun gradually sets.
The sky is gradually getting late, but it is like daytime here.
All kinds of lanterns are hung high up, even on both sides of the Xunle River, there are a row of lanterns hanging side by side, and the light like fire illuminates the river surface brightly.
Such a grand event naturally needs someone to host it.
Not long after, in Xu Bai's eyes, a middle-aged man walked out of the largest Zhile boat.
This person is dressed in silk and satin, looking rich and powerful, with a kind smile on his face, and a very kind look.
When this person came out, the bustling scene around him paused for a while, and everyone's eyes followed this person's figure and looked over.
"Everyone, no matter if you are a local or a foreigner, you are all welcome to participate in the annual event of my Fengling Mansion." The middle-aged man in silk and satin laughed and said: "I, Lin Yong, is the head of the Lin family, and I am here to host the event." For this grand event, we now have an order from our government."
There are two servants around, holding a red cloth, standing on both sides of the boat.
The red cloth was pulled straight, and behind the red cloth, the magistrate of Fengling Mansion came up in official uniform, holding a pair of scissors in his right hand.
According to the routine, I said a few words on the scene.
At this time, the crowd was already extremely excited. After all, they can only participate once a year, so of course they were very excited.
"Okay, I think everyone is already very excited, so I will announce that the Water Festival has begun."
The government order cut the red cloth with scissors, and the next moment, the Water Festival officially began.
When the red cloth was cut, there were cheers one after another, and all kinds of noisy sounds came out one after another.
The Water Festival has begun.
"My lord, if you want to go to the biggest Zhile boat, you have to go through that small boat first." Ye Zi pointed to the side of the Zhile boat.
Not far from Zhile Boat, there is a boat that can only accommodate dozens of people. People boarded and got off one after another.
"Interesting." Xu Bai said with a smile: "It seems that you have to pass a test before you can go up. What is the test? Temperament?"
Ye Zi said softly: "Young master guessed well, so naturally you have to test the temperament."
At this time, Patriarch Ye said: "Ye Zi and I should have no problem. Mr. Xu, Mr. Kong Xu and Mr. Sun, I will trouble you to be our servants temporarily, so that we can have an excuse to go up."
Those who can pass the test are naturally high-ranking officials. Of course, they will bring their servants up, and no one will stop them.
Xu Bai thought for a moment, then nodded.
Actually, for him, the melody test is no longer a problem, after all, even Yin Xianqu has reached the full level.
But at this time, it is better to be a little low-key.
Even Xu Bai has no problem, so Kong Xu naturally has no problem.
After everything was arranged, everyone took a small boat and headed towards the boat next to the Zhile boat.
Along the way, Xu Bai's spirit was sensing the changes around him, but nothing happened.
There is no abnormality, and there are no sneaky demon masters, as if nothing has appeared.
But what the centipede said still seems to be in my ears, something important will definitely happen tonight.
The boat was getting closer and closer to that ship, and in a blink of an eye, it had already arrived.
When Xu Bai stepped in, he realized that the surrounding area was already full of people, and there was a lamp in every place of the ship.
In the socket of each lamp, there is a note.
Various topics are written on the note.
"My lord, if you want to answer the questions, you can bring those questions to the servants on the boat. You just need to tell them the answers. As for whether they are correct, the servants on the boat have already memorized them." Ye Zi leaned in front of Xu Bai, whispered.
Xu Bai shook his head and said, "How can the temperament be summed up in one answer?"
Ye Zi said: "There is no other way, this is the only way."
Xu Bai thought for a moment, secretly thinking that this is indeed the case.
If you really want to achieve perfection, it will take too much manpower and material resources, and it is very difficult.
After all, how can they understand the profound rhythm with these servants alone.
If people who know the rhythm are to be the judges, there are too few. There are so many people here, the scene will be very chaotic.
Not long after, Patriarch Ye found the questions, walked up to a servant, answered them one by one, and passed the test smoothly.
After all, it is also the family of Fengling Mansion. The identity of Patriarch Ye is naturally known by many people, and the surroundings cast their gazes from time to time.
Led by the servant, Xu Bai and others came to the junction of the boat and the big boat.
There is an upward staircase at the junction, and you can board the Chiraku Ship along this staircase.
Xu Bai was about to step forward, but unexpectedly, before he took two steps, there was a sound from around.
"Patriarch Ye, you brought enough servants today."
Xu Bai frowned slightly when he heard the words, and turned his head to follow the voice.
A woman dressed in silk walked slowly, her hair was coiled up high, and a hosta was stuck on it.
When Patriarch Ye saw this woman, his expression darkened instantly.
She took a look at Xu Bai's face, and didn't want to talk to this woman, so she wanted to take Xu Bai up.
The woman in silk didn't intend to let Patriarch Ye go, she walked up to Patriarch Ye in two steps, stood in the middle, raised her right hand, and pointed at Ye Zi gracefully.
"I heard that Ye Zi from your Ye family is back, why did you bring her on board? I think people like this who don't care about family interests should be kicked out."
Ye Zi: "..."
To tell the truth, she thought about other situations, but she couldn't think of a solution because of her.
Patriarch Ye gritted his teeth and approached Patriarch Liu, saying, "I advise you to get out of the way."
If it was normal, Patriarch Ye would really talk here, but now it is different, with Xu Bai behind him.
If Xu Bai can't board the ship because of this matter, and when the time comes to blame, no one will be able to eat and walk around.
Patriarch Liu did not expect that Patriarch Ye would be in this state. She herself came here to say a few words casually to humiliate Patriarch Ye. After all, the two families have a lot of grievances.
As for the grievances, things between these families are very complicated.
She just heard that the escaped Ye Zi was back, so she ran over to Yin Yang for a while.
Unexpectedly, they got such an answer.
They are all heads of the family, so naturally they have some IQ, so for a moment, the head of the Liu family seemed to think of something, and looked at the man next to Ye Zi.
The next moment, Patriarch Liu raised his hand and pointed at Xu Bai, his face full of shock.
"Blood Butcher Swordsman!"
There was shock in this sentence, but no one could hear the noise around.
It's still the old saying, as members of these big families, naturally they already know what Xu Bai looks like.
Patriarch Liu didn't care about Xu Bai's situation just now, but after seeing Xu Bai's appearance clearly, he was shocked.
And when these four words came out, Patriarch Liu didn't think there was anything wrong, but Patriarch Ye already knew in his heart that this guy had completely offended Xu Bai.
As expected, Xu Bai's face darkened instantly.
Your uncle's.
Give me this title again, right?
Looking straight at Patriarch Liu with cold eyes, if it weren't for the different situation now, he would probably give Patriarch Liu a few words.
Patriarch Liu soon realized that he had said something wrong, after all Xu Bai's face was there.
"Patriarch Liu, after tonight, I hope you still understand something. You can see that Mr. Xu is standing on my side now." Patriarch Ye felt amused when he saw Patriarch Liu's dumbfounded look. , then went up to mock a few words.
Then, everyone left the stupid Patriarch Liu and walked towards Zhile Boat.
…
Xu Bai got on the Zhile boat, only to realize that the boat was bigger than what he had seen before.
Although it is very large, there are not many people who can come up, so it looks very empty.
Crowds in twos and threes are communicating with each other, and obviously many people know each other.
"Master Xu, what should we do next?" Kong Xu asked in a low voice.
They have indeed come, but they have no plans for the next step. After all, it seems that everything here is as usual.
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said: "Wait and see what happens. Before that, you must be familiar with the situation here and walk around."
Familiarize yourself with the situation here first. As for the future, it depends on whether anything unusual happens, and then follow the clues.
Everyone nodded, Xu Bai was the backbone here, and they followed Xu Bai's method and began to walk around on the boat.
The ship is divided into three layers, and they are now the bottom layer.
Then, Xu Bai seemed to have really underestimated his reputation in the world.
Most of the people who can come on this boat are proficient in temperament, and those who can master temperament in Fengling Mansion are naturally high-ranking officials.
Being able to become a dignitary, of course they will also care about the changes in the current situation around them, so they are very clear about what Xu Bai looks like.
Immediately afterwards, before Xu Bai and the others had walked hundreds of meters, he was surrounded by people around him.
"Meet Master Xu."
Looking at the flattering expressions of these people, they seemed to be licking dogs, trying their best to curry favor with him.
Xu Bai suddenly felt that sometimes being a celebrity is not very good.
