Chapter 153 Big upgrade (8000)
"Impossible, it shouldn't be!"
"I don't seem to have offended him before, this is also the first time we met."
"Although I was suspected of striking up a conversation just now, I left after ignoring me, and I didn't cause trouble!"
"But why Master Xu's expression is so ugly, his face has turned black?"
He could tell that when he finished saying that sentence, Xu Bai's face became very ugly.
This can be clearly seen by the naked eye, even an ordinary person can tell it here. Xu Bai is definitely in a bad mood at this time.
But why?
Jiang Tong was very sure that this was the first time he met Xu Bai, and he didn't offend him, and he didn't do anything unreasonable, but the other party seemed to hate him very much.
"Let's go." Xu Bai didn't have Niao Jiangtong, so he planned to leave while holding Ye Zi.
Jiang Tong didn't know what mistake he had made, so he gritted his teeth, and finally bit the bullet, walked a few steps, stopped Xu Bai, and said, "Blood butcher swordsman, this is the first time you and I have met. Since you think you have not offended you, why do you give me face?"
Some things, if you don't ask or talk about them, then it is likely to become a misunderstanding. The children of these big families have received a good education since childhood, so they naturally understand the basic truth.
Even if Xu Bai doesn't like him, he must know why.
Can’t he change it?
Thinking of this, Jiang Tong endured tremendous pressure and didn't take a step back.
After Xu Bai heard that title again, a faint murderous intent arose in his whole body. He looked at Jiang Tong with a bad tone, and said, "I think you are innocent if you don't know, but there are only three things. If you mention it again, you You have to watch your head."
He is not a bad person, nor is he a good person, but he will not shoot at will and kill innocent people indiscriminately.
The other party called that title unintentionally, and he knew it, so he wouldn't draw his sword right away, but he brought up the reason. If the other party still called this title, it would be a deliberate pick.
However, if you don't draw your sword, you won't draw your sword. The impression of the young man in front of him has dropped a lot.
There is a saying called preconceptions, and another saying called first impressions. The young man in front of him called him by his title when they met for the first time, which directly affected Xu Bai's opinion of him.
Jiang Tong froze in place when he heard this, and didn't react for a long time.
"So... is that so?"
He finally understood that the powerful man in front of him didn't like his title, which was extremely rare in Jianghu.
Among the rivers and lakes, except for those extremely evil titles, most of them don't mind their own titles.
The title is not given by myself at all, but a kind of recognition in the world. It can be said that whoever has the title will get some recognition accordingly, so people who hang out in the world understand that this is not the case. It is a kind of recognition and honor.
But the one in front of him now, the celebrity in front of the emperor, did the opposite, and was extremely disgusted with titles.
After Jiang Tong understood the reason, he was going to make amends, but seeing Xu Bai's lack of interest at the moment, and thinking of the time when Xu Bai and Ye Zi met just now, he thought about it and decided not to disturb him for now.
The other party is now at a time when he is upset, and if he interrupts rashly, he will only bring misfortune to himself.
It's better to wait a few days, and wait for the other party to calm down, and then he will come to the door to apologize, and he can also take advantage of this time buffer to return to the family and communicate with the family.
From what I have seen and heard today, maybe the family has something better than him, as an apology for compensation.
"I'm taking the liberty to say sorry first, so I won't bother you two, and I'm leaving." Jiang Tong clasped his fists together, still saying what he said on the spot.
Xu Bai nodded his head slightly, which was regarded as his agreement. Without saying a word, he pulled Ye Zi and walked towards the city.
Jiang Tong stayed where he was until Xu Bai's figure disappeared at the end of the street. Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground weakly.
The pressure just now was very strong, especially the terrifying murderous aura of the other party, which was created out of blood and fire, not that kind of pretending, so he was under a lot of pressure.
"No, I have to leave quickly, go back to the family, and tell the family about this matter. Such a big matter must be done as soon as possible." Jiang Tong thought secretly, and quickly left the street.
…
On the other side, Xu Bai led Ye Zi and walked on the street.
Along the way, Ye Zi kept chattering, as if he had endless things to say.
After the reunion just now, Ye Zi is extremely excited now, she walks bouncing around, knowing that Xu Bai is not dead, apart from being happy, she is happy.
The two walked for quite a while, and finally arrived at an inn. Ye Zi pointed at the inn and chirped, "Master, the room has already been opened, and it's inside. I haven't had time to leave yet."
Xu Bai smiled and patted Ye Zi's head.
Ye Zi led the way, the two entered the inn and found a room, Ye Zi opened the door and let Xu Bai in.
As soon as he entered the room, the door was closed by Ye Zi. Then, Ye Zi wrapped Xu Bai's waist from behind and hugged Xu Bai.
Xu Bai could feel that Ye Zi was trembling slightly at this moment, and there was also the sound of choking.
"Young master, I thought I would never see you again."
"It's alright, it's fine, I'm fine." Xu Bai held Ye Zi's hand and said with a smile.
Ye Zi didn't let go, and hugged him for a long time, until he calmed down, then let go of his hand, pulled Xu Bai, let Xu Bai sit down, stood behind him, and rubbed Xu Bai's shoulders.
This scene has become accustomed to, Xu Bai lost his eyes, resting his head on Ye Zi's chest, quietly enjoying it.
"My lord, something happened to me last night." Ye Zi thought about what happened last night, and recounted it.
Xu Bai smiled and said: "This group of chickens and dogs are really smart. They know that ambushing me on the road is just a waste of loss. Now they have learned to gather together and come to the end to deal with me."
"My lord, do you have any countermeasures?" Ye Zi asked curiously, tilting his head.
Xu Bai shook his head and said: "At present, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and there is no countermeasure for the time being, but it will take a few days, maybe after a few days, there will be a solution."
The other party didn't make a move, and he couldn't find a solution, but it wasn't necessarily absolutely impossible. He was currently working on the progress bar of the liver wood carving.
Wait until the progress bar of the wood carving is complete, and then go to the fortune-telling book in the liver. With the help of the second-grade fortune-telling book and the traces of the paper-tie technique, you may be able to predict the enemy's opportunities.
Ye Zi heard that he already knew that his son must have a solution, so he didn't continue to ask, and continued to press Xu Bai's shoulder.
The fourth-rank puppet standing aside hugged the wood carving, allowing Xu Bai to look at the progress bar of the wood carving at the same level. The progress bar was slowly increasing under his gaze.
It's not long before Consummation. What Xu Bai needs most is time. Now he just needs to wait slowly.
…
Time gradually passed.
This morning, Xu Bai woke up early, went out to have breakfast with Ye Zi, and then returned to the room again.
After returning to the room, Xu Bai rubbed his waist.
Last night, Ye Zi was fierce.
In the room, the fourth-rank puppet was still holding the wood carving. Before Xu Bai's eyes, the golden progress bar was only a hair away from completion.
After a few breaths, the last progress bar was finally perfected.
Light blue smoke appeared, condensing continuously before Xu Bai's eyes, and finally condensed a new line of words.
【You observe the woodcarving, and understand how the stars move (modified). 】
Xu Bai: "?"
He thought that it was the set of kung fu that comprehended the female temple master, but he didn't expect it to be a change of time, and a word "change" was added after it.
Change, change what?
Xu Bai's face became a little weird, as if he had thought of something.
Sure enough, in the cave that day, the hostess really transferred Dou Zhuanxing to stealing, not only stealing, but also completely imitating it, and even made changes on the basis of the simulation.
"The geniuses in this world are really scary."
As a genius in the past, he was able to create a skill that accommodates all kinds of business, and now he can even improve it.
Xu Bai couldn't help admiring it.
But admiration is nothing but admiration. Now he really wants to know what new effects will be produced after the fusion of this skill.
Soon, the light blue smoke disappeared, replaced by a new light blue smoke, which gradually gathered in the midair and turned into new words.
【Find fusion options, fusion is in progress. 】
【Dou Zhuan Xing Yi + Dou Zhuan Xing Yi (modified) = Yihua. 】
【Fusion successful! 】
…
Xu Bai: "..."
He looked at the wood carving, well, it is indeed a piece of wood, and the name is relatively vague.
The latest panel appears.

…
Damn it!
Even with Xu Bai's current temperament, he couldn't help but swear a curse word.
He has no culture and can't think of many adjectives. Whether it's joy, anger, sorrow or joy, he can only describe it as shit.
After all, the two words, shit, can represent most emotions. It is simple and straightforward, popular and understandable.
Eighth order!
A real eighth-level skill can be equivalent to a second-level skill!
Huge!
As expected of a female viewer!
Xu Bai looked at this skill and even had an idea in his heart.
Isn’t the female priest still carving his appearance? If he can stay there, wouldn’t he be able to keep pulling wool?
This idea is not without feasibility, but at present, Xu Bai can't find a way for the time being, so he can't go to the street to shout, right?
Besides, the current female viewer can stay awake for a short time, but if he goes crazy, won't he be unable to withstand it?
"Oh, what a pity."
One wood carving can reach this level. If the female temple master learns from his tricks and re-carves a few more, it will really make a fortune.
At this time, the light blue smoke turned into messages and penetrated into his mind.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Bai had absorbed all the information and completely mastered the skill of transferring flowers and trees.
After absorbing the information, Xu Bai opened his eyes and nodded secretly.
The skill of shifting flowers and trees is the same as that of Dou Zhuan Xing Yi. It can transfer the opponent's attack, whether it is a weapon or other, as long as it is an attack, it can be transferred.
Returning the way of the other to the other is the truth.
It can be transferred under the second grade!
Compared to the previous transformation, the transformation has a new function. In Xu Bai's view, this function is just like a bug.
A simple sentence can describe this effect.
Transfer the injury!
That's right, it is to transfer the injury, whether it is to transfer the injury on your own body or transfer the injury of others, this skill is fine, as long as the injury is not too serious, or does not exceed the second rank, then there is no problem.
Grandpa can heal.jpg
"This may be the qualitative change of the second grade, just like my sword intent."
Xu Bai guessed that maybe the female viewer wanted to divert her madness, so she specialized in research in this direction, but after all, there were still flaws, so she didn't succeed completely, and could only be sober for a short time.
Or in other words, only a part has been transferred, and a large part has not been transferred.
Xu Bai touched his chin, and thought to himself: "Can I use a special method to turn this skill into an attack method?"
As a time traveler, a flexible mind is a necessary condition. Xu Bai's thinking is also very detached. Soon, he found a flexible use of this skill.
Transfer flowers and trees, also need to be close to use.
But under certain circumstances, it can be used as an attack method. For example, if Xu Bai stabs himself and then transfers his injury, then...
He himself has a strong recovery ability, and it is trivial to give himself a knife.
"Isn't this the real anti-armor?" Xu Bai thought in his heart.
Let alone, the current situation is quite similar.
With new skills, Xu Bai felt more at ease, and his mentality became extremely comfortable.
"hurry up."
Time waits for no one, although he is not short of time, but he will not waste it, Xu Bai took out the second-grade divination book from his arms, looked at the empty progress bar on it, opened one of the pages, and continued to get angry .
Xu Bai temporarily gave up on the Wuming Dao Sutra, and planned to use the progress bar of the fortune-telling book first. After all, he still needs to rely on this thing to find the person behind the scenes. This is the most important way at present.
Just had this idea, not ready to start yet.
The next moment, someone stood outside the door and knocked lightly on the door. The knocking sound was very soft, and stopped after knocking three times, as if waiting for Xu Bai's answer.
"Who?" Xu Bai frowned.
This place is unfamiliar to him, and he has never even been here before, but now someone is looking for him, and Xu Bai is very curious about who it is.
Following Xu Bai's question, a voice came from outside the door, a little loud and full of pride.
"Master Xu, the head of the Xiajiang family, has taken the liberty to disturb you, and I hope Master Xu will be magnanimous."
Jiang Family?
Xu Bai touched his chin, he didn't seem to know this person, let alone had any specific contact with him, but the other party came to his door, and he also winked at Ye Zi.
Ye Zi put down her hands, obediently walked to the door, and opened it.
After opening the door, there was a muscular middle-aged man standing outside.
This man was wearing thick clothes all over his body, but what was exposed outside was extremely strong.
The appearance is very ordinary, and his body is almost muscular. Xu Bai can feel that the strength of the other party's physical body does have a few brushes, but he still doesn't know it.
Xu Bai touched his chin, put his hand on the table, and said with great interest, "Who is your Excellency, and what can you do with me?"
Patriarch Jiang clasped his fists and said: "A few mornings ago, my son offended Mr. Xu. He was blind. I came here specially to apologize to Mr. Xu."
Xu Bai heard what the other party said, and then recalled what happened. It turned out to be the young man from that morning.
To be honest, he has almost forgotten about that person in the past few days. After all, he is very busy with things every day, and it is not a big deal for him to forget one or two insignificant people.
"It turned out to be Patriarch Jiang. I didn't expect you to be so polite and come to apologize. This surprised me." Xu Bai laughed.
As the saying goes, if you reach out and don't hit someone with a smiling face, the other party will be so polite. Xu Bai is a person who takes soft things rather than tough ones, so of course he won't throw face at him.
Patriarch Jiang didn't expect Xu Bai to be so easy to talk to.
After all, in this arena, there are legends about Xu Bai, most of which are negative, such as being cruel and merciless, for example, being moody.
But the young man in front of him behaved in a friendly manner, completely contrary to the legends in the Jianghu.
Not only that, from his point of view, the young man in front of him is the best choice in terms of temperament and demeanor, and his whole person gives people a feeling.
—Warm and moist as jade, but sharp as a knife.
Looking at the young man in front of him, his age was about the same as his own son, Patriarch Jiang unconsciously thought of his son, and after such a comparison, he felt that his son... tsk tsk.
"Come here! Bring those two people here!" Patriarch Jiang turned around and shouted towards the door.
Outside the door, several servants came in, escorting two heavily tied men.
These two men were dressed in tatters and were covered in various scars. It was obvious that they had been tortured before they came.
"What do these two people mean?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
The head of the Jiang family stretched out his hand, pointed at the two men, and explained: "Master Xu must have had many difficulties and obstacles along the way, and I am the head of the Jiang family in Fenghua state, and I know Fenghua state well. These two people are planning to assassinate Master Xu's people."
"But it's a pity that their strength is low, their status doesn't seem to be high, and they probably don't know much."
"I tortured them before I caught them, but these two guys are still pretty hard bones."
"So I brought them here specially to see if Mr. Xu has any way to find out their clues."
After the two wounded men appeared, they immediately saw Xu Bai and trembled.
But they kept silent, obviously, did not want to say anything.
Xu Bai took the tea handed over by Ye Zi, took a sip, then put down the cup, looked at the two men with great interest, and stood up from his seat.
Two people who wanted to assassinate him, which was beyond his expectation.
Unexpectedly, not long after I came, a big gift came. Although whether this gift is real or not has yet to be verified, if you want to know whether it is true or not, you only need to try it.
"So, I will start to try." Xu Bai stretched out his left hand: "Patriarch Jiang, if you leave now, you don't need to get involved in this matter."
This is a hint.
If Xu Bai accepts this gift after leaving now, then the conflict between them will be cancelled.
If you don't leave, you will be involved in this matter, and there will be danger.
Of course, there are benefits. After Xu Bai enters the capital, the emperor will definitely reward these people, there is no doubt about it.
"Although Jiang is a martial artist, he has always been righteous. Of course he is willing to stay here." Patriarch Jiang said righteously.
Righteous fart!
These patriarchs can make a bright house in a state that is bigger than the mansion. Which one is not a master?
Obviously, this Patriarch Jiang wanted to get a big ticket, that is, to stand in Xu Bai's team.
But in many cases, some things can be seen through, but they cannot be said through. If they are said through, everyone is embarrassed.
"Oh, I didn't expect to see such an upright person. I really admire your righteousness. It's a pity not to become a scholar." Xu Bai clasped Patriarch Jiang's shoulder, very grateful.
Patriarch Jiang: "..."
Although everyone is talking about scenes, why does he always feel that Xu Bai is talking too much? Alas, no matter, it is necessary to stay here anyway.
Xu Bai let go of his hand, then looked at the two wounded men, and said with a smile, "Don't tell me?"
The two looked at each other and kept silent, obviously planning not to speak out.
"Then..." Xu Bai was about to speak.
I didn't expect to be interrupted by them before I said it.
"Blood butcher swordsman, don't waste your time. We know your methods of torture to extract confessions. We have already used special means to cut off our own pain." One of them said with a face full of disdain.
Xu Bai frowned with blue veins twitching wildly: "Blood is your uncle's!"
He pulled out the black knife from his waist, flicked it with his fingers, the blade of the black knife vibrated slightly, and then, a special rhythm echoed in the room.
The two men with disdainful faces suddenly froze, their eyes became dull, as if they had entered a special state.
"Now, tell me everything you know." Xu Bai said flatly.
Patriarch Jiang next to him was shocked when he saw this scene.
His knowledge is also very wide. Although he is only a martial artist, he can tell that this is a skill of the soul.
hiss...
Patriarch Jiang took a deep breath, and sure enough, as the rumors in Jianghu said, Master Xu has practiced a lot, and he has cultivated all three categories of spirit, energy and spirit.
It's too **** scary!
Multi-cultivation can still reach such a state. If it is a single cultivation, I am afraid that they will have been thrown away by a long time ago.
Of course, now is not the time for him to be surprised. He also wants to know who is plotting Xu Bai behind.
The two wounded men had dull faces. When Xu Bai asked this sentence, they all raised their heads and stared at Xu Bai with dull eyes.
"Say, why not?" Xu Bai continued to ask.
The two wounded men were still staring at Xu Bai without saying anything.
Xu Bai frowned.
He always felt that there was something wrong in it. Just now he was sure that he had controlled the other party's spirit, but the other party didn't say a word.
"My lord, is there a possibility that they don't know anything?" Ye Zi asked quietly.
Xu Bai shook his head and said, "Even if you don't know anything, you can still say a few words, so it won't be like this."
The scene fell into silence. In fact, when it comes to the ability of spirit, Xu Bai is stronger.
But even if he couldn't figure out what was going on, the people present were even more helpless.
Xu Bai thought about it carefully, and tried to revoke the control of the soul.
In the blink of an eye, the two scarred men returned to normal. They looked at each other with expressions of horror on their faces.
Although they didn't know what happened just now, they always had a feeling of panic.
"There is no problem with the soul." Xu Bai said: "Do you two know nothing?"
The two men did not speak.
"It's a bit tricky." Xu Bai said.
It is indeed a bit tricky. These two guys were cut off with a special method to cut off their pain. Torture is definitely not enough.
Shenhun didn't know why, and couldn't find out why.
It seems that suddenly, all the roads are blocked.
But... it's not impossible.
Xu Bai walked around the two people and said, "Try it."
A paper crane flew out of his hand and landed on these two people, but after it landed on them, it immediately turned into ashes.
It is useless to search for traces.
Seeing this scene, Xu Bai frowned even tighter, and said to himself, "It seems that we have to wait for a fortune-telling."
In this situation, other methods are useless, so I can only try fortune-telling.
Doesn’t he still have fortune-telling tricks? As long as the progress bar of fortune-telling books is full, you may be able to calculate something useful.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai planned to ask Patriarch Jiang to watch these two people closely.
Unexpectedly, before he could say this, a voice suddenly came from around.
"Crack!"
The voice was very crisp, coming from the two men on the ground.
The next moment, the two men suddenly twisted.
Looking at it from Xu Bai's angle, he saw an abnormality. There seemed to be translucent silk threads appearing at the joints of the two men.
This translucent silk thread hangs high, but there is no end, only about half a meter long.
With the appearance of these silk threads, the two men actually stood up under the control of the silk threads, with extremely weird expressions.
A paragraph came from the mouths of two men.
"Their souls are all with me. What you control is just a trace of remnant souls. How can you ask?"
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a cold light in his eyes: "You are the most courageous person I have ever seen."
Judging from the current situation, these two men are under control, and the voices just now are not the consciousness of these two men, but come from the people behind him.
This is the most arrogant he has ever seen. When he first came to Fenghua Prefecture, he dared to face him face to face, although it was not face to face.
"Heh, courage depends on who you are dealing with."
The controlled man made a gloomy voice.
"I never expected that your deterrent power could make a family willing to be a running dog, tsk tsk tsk..."
"Xu Bai, I'll give you a chance, how about it?"
"Tomorrow night, come to the third floor of Chunyu Pavilion in Fenghua Prefecture, the innermost room. I have something to tell you."
Speaking of which, in front of Xu Bai, the corners of the eyes of these two men were actually bleeding.
The two men just stood on the ground, losing their breath of life, and the silk thread connecting their joints disappeared completely.
The field fell into silence, and no one said a word.
Patriarch Jiang's face became extremely ugly, which was tantamount to hitting him in the face.
He found these two people after painstaking efforts. He originally wanted to use it to get closer to Xu Bai, but unexpectedly, he was used by the other party instead.
The other party almost borrowed his hand to contact Xu Bai.
This is embarrassing.
Things didn't get done, but I lost face.
"Master Xu, I..." Patriarch Jiang wanted to speak.
Before he finished speaking, Xu Bai raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't worry about it. I already understand your painstaking efforts. Since things are beyond expectations, I won't blame you for everything." Xu Bai said.
Patriarch Jiang let out a sigh of relief: "Thank you Master Xu for your generosity."
Xu Bai said lightly: "Patriarch Jiang, things are a bit complicated now, I need to be alone to calm down, and I will visit again at another day, thank you for this great gift."
After saying these words, Patriarch Jiang also understood that Xu Bai had issued an order to evict guests, which was indeed the case, and it was not good for him to stay here longer after such a big incident happened.
"Master Xu, then I will leave first. If there is anything that needs Jiang, Jiang will definitely go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire." Patriarch Jiang cupped his hands and said.
After finishing speaking, he took his servants and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he also took away the two corpses on the ground.
After they left, Ye Zi closed the door behind his back, turned his head, looked at Xu Bai who was frowning tightly, and Ye Zi walked in front of Xu Bai.
"It's okay, let me think about it." Xu Bai said.
Ye Zi shook his head, squatted down lightly, put his hands on Xu Bai's knees, raised his head, and looked into Xu Bai's eyes.
"Young Master, although I don't know who is behind the scenes, but looking at today's situation, I may be able to guess what he is doing."
Ye Zi's voice was soft.
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that Ye Zi had much more knowledge than himself, and was specially trained in various knowledge by the Ye family.
When he was in Fengling Mansion before, Ye Zi also saw many things clearly and helped Xu Bai a lot.
If you can know the other party's business, maybe there are some clues to be discovered.
Ye Zi stood up, put both hands on Xu Bai's shoulders, and slowly moved to Xu Bai's ear...
As time goes by, stars move, flowers change, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! What's the next name! ! !
