Chapter 157 Candle in the tomb (8000)
"I'd be embarrassed if I took such a valuable thing." Xu Bai laughed.
Although that is what he said, but Xu Bai has been holding this Yin-Yang Fengshui map in his hand, and he has not seen him return it.
He now has a first-grade Fengshui skill, so he naturally knows the benefits of this thing. Not to mention anything else, just reaching the first-grade level, the yin-yang Fengshui map is a rare treasure.
The function is very simple, as long as it is a first-grade feng shui formation, and as long as the user knows that kind of feng shui formation, it can be displayed through the yin-yang feng shui diagram, including changing the sky and changing the ground.
The feng shui array of the Great Chu State requires various layouts, and the materials required for many layouts are expensive, and even have prices but no market.
But with this yin-yang Fengshui map, there is no need to be so troublesome.
He can turn ordinary objects into the effect of Feng Shui array, this function is simply invincible.
To make a very simple analogy, Xu Bai wants to arrange a feng shui array, he only needs to use the yin and yang feng shui diagram, and he can arrange it well.
Of course, such a bug also has a huge flaw. The flaw is that the Fengshui map cannot be too far away from the arranged Fengshui array, otherwise the effect it displays will disappear, and it still needs to use expensive materials for the arrangement.
But for Xu Bai, this shortcoming is not considered a shortcoming. If he can't collect materials first during the battle, he can use this picture to arrange a Feng Shui array.
The function of arranging the Feng Shui array is also very simple. Feng Shui is plainly related to numerology.
For example, when you use Feng Shui array to destroy the opponent's luck, let's not talk about whether the opponent is strong or not, but every time you fight with him, you may have bad luck. Although it is very mysterious, it really works Later, that will be decisive.
To put it simply, there is no need for a CD, no mandatory prerequisites, it is just an instant skill.
Patriarch Qian heard Xu Bai's polite words, and saw that Xu Bai had no intention of returning, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Of course, these small actions are superfluous in his opinion, because when he decided to send out the Yin-Yang Fengshui map, he had already made up his mind that he would never ask for it back.
"Master Xu, what you have done is an incomparably great kindness to the Qian family. It is as heavy as a mountain. Giving a mere yin and yang Fengshui map to Master Xu is simply a gift." The Qian family said. .
Whether it is light or not, only he knows. Nothing is important these days, but the favor. It is worthwhile for him to pay back the favor.
"So, thank you very much." Xu Bai handed the picture in his hand to the fourth-rank puppet, and after the fourth-rank puppet put it away, he said: "I still have important things, so don't bother me."
Patriarch Qian nodded, got up and sent Xu Bai out of the door. Along the way, he kept thanking him. It wasn't until Xu Bai disappeared at the end that he looked at the distant street and fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty's vision is really good. No wonder he would lose face and compete with the prince. I don't know what the prince thinks. Now it seems that if Xu Bai goes directly to Beijing, the prince may not even have a drink."
There was no one around, but he was talking. Just as he said this, the invisible air twisted, and a man in black appeared.
"He is very strong, and he has already discovered me, which proves that he is superior in spirit and soul, but he is also very understanding of the world, and has not pointed out my existence."
The man in black spoke calmly.
"Will you go back to the capital?" Patriarch Qian said with a smile: "A master of the first class is used to protect me. If it gets out, they may feel that you are very wronged."
"Your Majesty said that as long as the Great Chu Kingdom is still alive, he will be responsible for the safety of Qian Qian's family, and I will not go back." The man in black shook his head and said.
Patriarch Qian said with a smile: "What do you think will be useful for him to go to the capital?"
The man in black shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Jian Tiansi didn't even know. It seems that His Majesty has plotted a lot this time." Patriarch Qian turned around and walked towards the yard, saying as he walked, "Can you beat him?"
"I will die in the battle of life and death." The man in black followed behind.
Patriarch Qian was a little surprised: "A dignified first-rank master, and a first-rank master who is good at **** battles, even said that he would die in the hands of a third-rank master."
The man in black didn't answer, but he made it very clear that he wasn't lying.
"It seems that this time, those royal families may be disturbed by Xu Bai alone. I guess His Majesty is willing to see it."
From Patriarch Qian's point of view, there is no other young man with such strength and abilities in this world. Maybe Xu Bai can turn the world around during this trip to the capital. height.
"So, just now you said the prince, I guess the prince is not a stupid person, he must have a plan." The man in black said.
The head of the Qian family was delighted: "When did the lord win over His Majesty? I think he has always been at a disadvantage since he competed with His Majesty, but for the throne, both of them gave way to each other. In the end, the lord was slightly better and took The throne is lost to His Majesty."
The man in black tightly shut his mouth. These are royal secrets, and he doesn't want to hear more.
"Old and old, the world now belongs to young people. I'm afraid that in the capital this time, those old guys don't want to retire with peace of mind. It must be a good show."
"Snapped!"
The door was closed, and Patriarch Qian's voice was never heard again.
…
Xu Bai didn't know what happened afterwards. In fact, since he entered Qian's house, he had already discovered the existence of the man in black.
But he didn't interfere too much, because he could feel that Patriarch Qian knew the man in black, and the man in black didn't show too much murderous intent towards him.
As for the identity of the man in black, Xu Bai can guess easily, and it is very likely that he is the one who protects the Qian family.
That's why he didn't interfere too much, not to mention, he still has more important things to do now.
Xu Bai didn't go back to the inn, but went shopping in Fenghua Prefecture directly.
After having Feng Shui Suanjing, everything in front of him became no longer ordinary in front of him.
To use a very simple analogy, when he walks in this city on an ordinary day, it is just an ordinary shopping.
But now, in his eyes, everything around him has become a huge feng shui formation, whether it is a brick or a tile, or a plant or a tree, it is all arranged in this formation.
This feng shui formation can improve the fortune of Fenghua state.
Knowing the whole leopard from a glimpse, the so-called knowing the book from the small, at this moment, Xu Bai already knows that there is absolutely no so-called big tomb here.
After all, he is also a master of this now, and he can see clearly with just one glance. If there is no such thing in the city of Fenghua Prefecture, it means that there is likely to be one outside.
"Go outside the city." Xu Bai said.
Ye Zi didn't say anything, she knew Xu Bai was doing business, so she was very obedient, and after Xu Bai finished saying this, she silently followed behind.
The two of them got together and left the city soon. They walked around the city, and Xu Bai just glanced at it from a distance, and knew a lot about the follow-up of Feng Shui.
Since it is a large tomb, before the burial, things related to feng shui will definitely be used, so Xu Bai can judge whether it exists or not just by taking a look at it.
Walking around and finding nothing abnormal, Xu Bai stood at the gate of the city, rubbing his chin with his hand, thinking in secret.
According to this kind of carpet search, it seems to be a waste of time. If this waste continues, it is better to be at home with the progress bar in the hands of the liver.
He tried to use his true energy to perform calculations again, but unexpectedly, the calculations were very vague, and the other party did not seem to have left many clues in Tong's house.
It is correct to think about it carefully. After all, Tong's family is in the city, which is relatively more dangerous.
If too many clues are left, it is easy to be encountered by some strange people. At that time, it is estimated that the enemy will be aware of it.
"Very cautious!" Xu Bai thought.
While he was thinking in secret, a strange man walked up to him. This strange man walked straight towards Xu Bai without stopping on the way.
He also noticed the situation here, looked this young strange man up and down, he guessed the identity of the other man, and he must be the soul control master to come to him at this time.
Sure enough, the young man stopped in front of Xu Bai, glanced up and down, and made an excited voice from his mouth.
"Finally found you, I have important information here!"
"Soul Control Master?"
Before the young man could speak again, Xu Bai asked what was on his mind.
"Yes." There was a transparent thread on the young man's arm. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find it. When Xu Bai asked this question, he quickly replied.
"It took me so long to get in touch. It seems that your status over there is not high." Xu Bai said with a hint of ridicule. He looked at the young man up and down, but he was secretly drawing with his index finger.
He has performed Fengshui arithmetic just now, but he has not calculated any useful information. It seems that this profession does have a special ability, which can block related calculations.
"Master Xu, you don't have to mock me like this. I won't say too much. Now I have a very important piece of information for you." The young man stretched out his hand, fiddled with it in his arms, and finally took out a piece of information. The paper was handed to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took it and looked it up and down, only to find that what was drawn on it was a map, and in the center of the map was a very obvious small black dot.
"I just drew it, it seems that it hasn't been long since I got this information."
The ink on the paper is still wet, and when you wipe it lightly with your hands, you can still feel a damp touch. From this point of view, the map on this paper has not been drawn for a long time.
"That's the final location." The young man was manipulated and gradually walked away, leaving only one sentence behind.
After a while, the surrounding area was still quiet.
Ye Zi asked: "My lord, do you need to go and have a look?"
Xu Bai nodded and said: "Of course we have to go and see, whether he is real or not, isn't there a clue in front of us now?"
If it was before, Xu Bai might have been more cautious, but now that he has Feng Shui skills, he really wants to see what the other party thinks.
Ye Zi pursed his lips and smiled, "Do you need someone from the Jiang family to come over?"
Xu Bai shook his head, expressing that he didn't need it.
Neither the two nor the puppet continued to stay, and rushed directly towards the direction of the map.
…
Out of the city, the outside turned into a wilderness, Xu Bai kept walking, hurried all the way, and finally came to a small hill.
This small hill doesn't look very high, and the whole hill gives people a sense of mediocrity. Xu Bai stopped in front, looked at the small hill not far away, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Under the power of true energy, the Feng Shui Sutra appeared on him, and bursts of Feng Shui power surged out like waves.
In front of him, this small hill no longer looks ordinary, but a great Feng Shui pattern.
"Yes, it is indeed a good place for burial." Xu Bai said slowly.
Ye Zi didn't understand these things, crossed his hands, placed them on his lower abdomen, and stood behind Xu Bai.
The fourth-grade puppet is carrying a huge package, just guarding it beside it.
This is a very strange combination, but amidst the strangeness, there is also a wonderful fusion.
"Let's go and have a look." Xu Bai started to walk towards the mountain.
…
Deep in the mountains.
At this moment, that large group of people are still waiting in place.
The leader is holding his hands behind his back, and the dirt in his fingernails is extremely eye-catching.
In the middle of this group of people, there is an unremarkable man surrounded by everyone.
This man looks ordinary, and there is nothing unusual about him, but surrounded by these people at the moment, he looks alone and alone. However, there is no panic on this man's face. If you look closely, there are transparent spots on his limbs. silk.
"It seems that I am blind." The leader's tone was flat: "You are not a soul master at all, but an embalmer. I really don't understand why you betrayed me?"
"Things have come to this, I have done what I should do, or kill me directly." The man's tone was flat.
The leader laughed.
"Hehe, it is said that the mortician is more advanced than the soul control master. He can control both the living and the dead. I really want to know, since you plan to join our group, why do you do such a thing?"
"Could it be that you are not satisfied with the status quo and want to seek refuge with the emperor?"
The man heard the words, and his tone was disdainful: "Don't compare me with the garbage of the soul control master. The mortician is recognized by the Great Chu Kingdom, so why should I take this risk?"
"Then why?" the leader asked suspiciously.
"You care about me?" The man didn't say much.
As soon as this sentence came out, the leader was very angry.
I'm talking to you carefully, but your tone is so aggressive, do I still have to give you face?
"Kill it!" The leader waved.
The next moment, all the people around shot together, and all kinds of attacks bombarded him. The man didn't resist at all, and turned into a mass of flesh and blood in the blink of an eye.
The leader couldn't be happier, because only he knew that the job of an embalmer is more advanced than that of a soul master.
Even more cautious, the so-called man in front of him is nothing more than a corpse, a corpse mixed with spirit.
Can control both the living and the dead.
There are so many injustices in this world, and they also deal with the dead. They do these things that are particularly low-level in the eyes of ordinary people, but the mortician, on the contrary, allows the Great Chu Kingdom to recognize its existence.
"My lord, it seems that our target has been exposed, should we hide for a while? Otherwise, Xu Bai may take it down at once." A subordinate put away his weapon, approached in a low voice, and asked.
The leader shook his head and said, "No need."
In his opinion, since it has been exposed, it must be avoided.
After all, up to now, the strength Xu Bai has shown is too strong, and he has almost pushed him sideways along the way. If he does not avoid his edge, he is very likely to suffer a major blow.
Thinking of this, this subordinate suddenly felt a chill rushing towards his face.
He seems to have guessed something.
If you don't plan to escape, then you have to fight to the death here, but according to the temper of the leader, it is absolutely impossible to do so. Could it be that they will become victims?
Just thinking about it, this subordinate found that the leader was looking at him, showing him that sinister smile.
Before he could think about it, the soil under his feet vibrated slightly. The next moment, he felt severe pain in his legs. When he looked down, he found that the soil was spreading to both sides, wrapping his feet. , and the tingling sensation just now was in the dirt.
"This is the first level of the tomb, tsk tsk tsk, what a luxury, to make these highly poisonous things in the first level." The leader laughed.
The position at the leader's feet did not change at all, but in front of the leader, the positions occupied by the people present all had the same problem, and the screams began to spread, and they uttered screams everywhere.
"Da Tomb, you are a gravedigger!" The subordinate finally came to his senses, pointing at the leader and questioning angrily.
"This big tomb, use you as sacrifices." The leader said.
The soil under their feet contained highly poisonous substances, which melted very quickly. In a blink of an eye, all these people turned into blood and melted into the soil.
The soil turned from earthy yellow to blood red, mixed with flesh and blood, and a **** smell hit the face, making people sick.
A moment later, when everything was back to normal, except for the change in color of the soil, it looked quiet and the sound of needles could be heard here.
The leader did not hesitate, but took out the cloth bag behind him. After opening the cloth bag, there was a shovel half a person tall.
"Even though he was cheated by him, the final result is still the same." The leader said.
The gravedigger can rely on tools or his hands. The leader is in this business. The dirt in his fingernails is left when he digs with his hands. After a long time, there is no way to repair it.
But today is different. The soil must use tools, and he wants to live for two more years.
A faint black light shrouded the shovel, and under the moonlight, it looked extremely cold.
The leader moved very fast, the speed of the shovel was already out of the afterimage, the soil was dug up by him, and slowly, his body was gradually sinking.
In less than a moment, the leader had disappeared on this land.
Not long after the leader disappeared, a man in ordinary clothes appeared. The man's body was connected with a transparent silk thread. After looking back and forth, he walked down the hole in front of him.
When the leader walked down, he had already erased the surrounding footprints, but this man deliberately left a series of footprints and disappeared into the hole.
…
Xu Bai was rushing towards this place. While walking, he suddenly felt the ground shake slightly, and his brows frowned.
"My lord, something seems to be wrong." Ye Zi turned his head and said.
Xu Bai nodded and said, "Speed up."
Their speed was faster, bypassing the overlapping forests, and soon came to a clearing
This clearing looks normal, but the blood-colored soil on the clearing is shocking.
Not far away, there is a huge hole.
The hole goes down obliquely, and there are still footprints left in it, obviously someone walked in.
Xu Bai performed Fengshui calculations. In his eyes, the power of Fengshui here is particularly strong, but looking at the hole in front of him, he was thinking about the safe way.
Suddenly, Xu Bai laughed.
In this dark night, he smiled slightly sinisterly.
Ye Zi was full of doubts: "My lord, your smile makes people panic."
Xu Baidao: "I thought of an excellent technique."
"My lord, what technique did you think of?" Ye Zi asked suspiciously.
Xu Bai took out the Yin-Yang Fengshui map and put his hand on it.
A large amount of true energy poured into it, and then, with the help of the yin-yang feng shui map, a huge feng shui formation was formed around it, and the yin-yang feng shui map was the center.
He has also tried it before. Feng Shui array cannot change his own fate. He is a fog, but he can use it on the enemy, and this happens to be flexible.
The so-called flexibility means that it can be used not only against the enemy, but also against one's own people.
Since there is an incomparably huge tomb in front of him, there must be various organs, which is beyond doubt.
After all, the coffin is equipped with organs, no matter what time it is, it is also standard, but the strength of the organs is different.
He has the mechanism puppet technique and the ability to mechanism, but the quality of this skill is a bit low now, and it is likely that he cannot completely prevent the following dangers.
It doesn't matter if the quality is low, he has high quality.
Feng Shui calculation is different, this is a first-rank skill.
Xu Bai can't change himself, but he can directly change Ye Zi's fate and make her luck better. Isn't that much safer?
Luck and fate are very mysterious things. If you are unlucky, you can fall into a big hole in the flat. If you are lucky, you can also pick up money when you go to the toilet.
Of course, this is not complete, and there are many things that affect fate.
Xu Bai's Feng Shui ability is now at the first rank, so the influence below the first rank is very small. If the various arrangements of the large tomb in front of him exceed the range of the first rank, the impact will become huge.
"Go, give it a try, follow this footprint first." Xu Bai said: "If there is only one road, follow the footprints. If there is a fork in the road, let's see what happens."
As he spoke, he led the way and walked down towards the hole.
Yezi nodded slightly, followed behind, looking around vigilantly.
The fourth-grade puppet followed at the end, acting as a rear guard.
When Xu Bai stepped into it, he felt a cold wind blowing from inside, carrying a damp smell.
This is the first time I have seen people here. Of course, it is very humid, and even the soil under my feet feels like I am sinking into it.
Fortunately, everyone is not an ordinary person, even in the dark, they can still see clearly.
Following this footprint, walking along the bottom, the surrounding area is extremely quiet, and nothing unusual has happened. Under the great feng shui formation, everything is developing in a good direction.
However, this good situation did not last long. After walking for less than a stick of incense, something abnormal appeared ahead.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
There was a sound of bones rubbing against each other, which seemed extremely permeating in this dark environment.
Xu Bai stopped, put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, stared at the darkness ahead, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
There is a situation!
In front, there was a figure flickering constantly, appearing extremely flexible, and the sound of fighting came from there.
The sound of fighting is very messy, but it is clear to the ears.
After a while, the sound of fighting gradually stopped, and a figure fell out from the darkness, flipped a few times, and landed on the ground, just in time to roll and land in front of Xu Bai.
Xu Bai looked at this person, especially the transparent thread on his body, and already knew the identity of this person.
"Master Xu, it's great that you arrived so soon."
After this person appeared, he only said a word, and with a twist of his neck, he took the lunch box.
Xu Bai: "..."
This is the fastest time Xu Bai has ever seen to get a boxed lunch, and it was gone after just a word.
Of course, he didn't believe that this person died just like that. After all, it was a very cautious business. This person in front of him must have been manipulated by that person.
Xu Bai turned his eyes and stared at the darkness ahead again. In the darkness, several strange figures flashed over. At this moment, Xu Bai finally saw clearly what the other party was.
The things that appeared were dressed in tatters, and it was not clear what shape the clothes were, so they could only serve as a shield.
There is no skin, the whole body is covered with that disgusting red muscle, still wriggling.
"Strange?" Xu Bai touched his chin.
It’s been a long time since I saw Wei Wei, and now I see it again, and I still feel very kind.
The three weirdos don't have any consciousness, they only know how to kill. After seeing Xu Bai, they rushed towards Xu Bai. Obviously, they have no IQ, and they don't want to talk to Xu Bai.
"Very strong." Xu Bai commented softly, and drew out the black knife at his waist.
The next moment, the black knife exploded, turning into a sky full of stars, directly piercing through the three strange creatures in front of him.
It took less than a breath for the three weirdos to rush to the street from their appearance.
"It's really strong." Xu Bai felt that it wasn't enough, so he added another sentence.
These three are weird, they actually have the strength of the fourth rank, and they are just a few appetizers.
He is looking forward to what will happen next.
Seeing this scene, Ye Zi has long been used to it, but he still reminded: "My lord, you still have to be careful, the gravedigger probably didn't die, otherwise there wouldn't be such a long passage."
"Yes, I know." Xu Bai nodded and continued walking inside.
At the beginning, I encountered a few weird things, but I didn’t encounter any strange things later.
The two walked for a while, and finally the front suddenly became clear, and they appeared in a huge space in the shape of a cube.
Here is no longer wet soil, the floor is covered with square bricks, the walls are also square bricks, and even the top of the head is made of square bricks.
Square, like a box, all in all, it gives people a very bad feeling.
And below, there are two rows of coffins. After counting, there are about 20 coffins.
Each coffin is made of bronze, which looks quite tall, and even the coffin lid is engraved with complicated patterns.
Xu Bai glanced roughly, and said very professionally: "This is not an important tomb, there are others."
According to the power of Feng Shui, this place is not the strongest yet.
In the square space, on the coffin at the farthest corner, a candle was lit with a flame burning on it.
"The gravedigger has already left, but there seems to be no extra space here, and he probably covered it up." Xu Bai looked back and forth, but did not see the exit.
It is equivalent to the puppet technique of the fourth grade, and no abnormalities were found. Either there is no exit here, or the level is higher than his skill.
Xu Bai couldn't analyze which one it was for the time being. He didn't see a fork in the road along the way, so the gravedigger probably left quietly, even covering up the traces of the exit.
"My lord, I heard that gravediggers have a very popular rule. When digging a grave, they will put a candle in the grave." Ye Zi said softly: "When touching the corpse, if the light of the candle If the color changes, you need to return the things you touched, and then leave carefully."
Xu Bai thought: "You mean, he opened the coffin."
Since the candle is lit, it proves that if you want to touch the corpse, you must open the coffin to touch the corpse.
Xu Bai suddenly thought of something.
Maybe there are exits in these coffins, that's also possible.
Thinking about this, Xu Bai came to a coffin, inserted the black knife into the gap, and picked it lightly.
The seemingly heavy coffin lid was easily lifted by him.
Xu Bai stepped forward, saw that there was only a pile of dead bones left inside, and used a black knife to rummage through it, but found no exit.
He even stabbed the bottom of the coffin with a black knife, nothing abnormal
"continue."
He didn't stop, and began to turn over the bronze coffins one by one. He opened the lid of each coffin, but there was no extra passage in it except for the corpse.
He rummaged all the coffins around, except the coffin with the candles in the farthest corner that was not turned over.
"Go and have a look." Xu Bai walked over.
When he inserted the black knife into the gap of the bronze coffin, suddenly, a chilling breath flowed out from the gap.
The bright flame of the candle that was originally placed on the coffin suddenly swayed, and due to the swaying of the flame, the surrounding light and shadow continued to intersect.
Xu Bai took a closer look, and said with a smile: "This atmosphere group is really good at organizing things. If you are a timid person, you may have to be scared to death here."
The flames of the candles placed on the coffin were originally bright yellow, but as he pried open a gap in the coffin, the flames turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The surrounding light also turned green. Under the green light, Xu Bai heard a soft whimper coming from the coffin...
