Chapter 166 Xu Bai, You Wasted Your Efforts in vain (8000)
First of all, Ye Zi is absolutely fine. She has been with me for so long, and I absolutely understand that it is impossible to have any special ability to deal with it.
Miao Xiao has this possibility, but it is unlikely. Although she has no patience to contact her, if she really has this ability, she will not be so miserable. She is the only one left to come here.
Then the final answer is the woman I saw just now.
Xu Bai waved the black knife in his hand, and looked at the woman with empty eyes.
The woman didn't show any expression, she just stared blankly ahead, motionless.
"Miao Zheng's attack just now was obviously aimed at everyone present, but now the Gu worm has not attacked that position, so I can give it a try and see what happens first."
Xu Bai thought for a while, and then he had a calculation in his heart. He looked at Wuhua next to him, and made a wink.
The two have cooperated long ago, and have experienced life and death together. Just by looking at each other, Wuhua already understood.
He raised his fist, smashed the Gu worms in front of him, and quickly ran towards the area without Gu worms.
Xu Bai did the same thing, spreading the black knives apart, crushing the Gu worms in front of him, and strode to the area where there were no Gu worms.
Gu worms continued to surround, covering the sky and covering the ground, but they formed a blank space. They didn't seem to dare to enter this space, and surrounded Ye Zi's location.
"Strange, how could this happen?" Miao Xiao said to himself.
She is a person in this industry and is also proficient in the ability of the industry, so after seeing this scene, she was even more surprised than Xu Bai and the others.
In addition to surprise, it is doubt.
The Gu worms didn't attack, and even left a special area for them. Miao Xiao felt that the group of Gu worms seemed to be afraid of something. Thinking of this, she was not a fool, and subconsciously looked at the dazed woman.
"Master Xu, it may be related to this woman. These bugs are afraid of this woman. Yes, I'm sure they are afraid." Miao laughed.
Xu Bai stroked his chin, thinking secretly.
He took a step towards the outside, the Gu worm attacked again, and when he came back, the Gu worm hid in the distance again, not daring to move forward.
Indeed fear.
The woman who suffered all kinds of humiliation had long since lost her soul, Xu Bai was able to confirm this.
Even surrounded by these bugs, the woman's expression is still dull, like a piece of wood, but why are these bugs afraid of women?
"Your method doesn't seem to work." Although Xu Bai couldn't figure out the subtlety of it, it didn't prevent him from making a mocking voice: "It seems that your strategy has failed."
Gu worms gathered quickly, turned into a human face, and said coldly: "So what? I trapped you here, where can you escape?"
"So it's true, you are really afraid of her." Xu Bai said.
The man's face became stiff in an instant, obviously he knew that he had been tricked by Xu Bai inexplicably, so he stopped talking and disappeared invisible again.
Now suddenly safe, Xu Bai walked back and forth, thinking about the situation just now, while combining the two, he suddenly thought of a key thing.
"Could it be that the corpse collector can restrain you Gu **** sects?" Xu Bai said.
No one answered him, but this kind of silence is the best answer, proving that his guess is already close to ten.
The Gu God Sect's way of raising Gu is to use corpses to lay Gu worms, and corpse collection is also dealing with corpses.
They gather up the corpses that are homeless and have no graves to hide, and then bury them alive. There is also a process in this, that is, they can control the corpses.
Control the corpse—the corpse feeds Gu—controls the Gu.
Xu Bai guessed that this is a relatively consistent chain.
Thinking of this, he took the woman's hand.
The woman has scars all over her face, but she is not afraid of Xu Bai.
Following Xu Bai's pull, the woman began to move slowly, and those Gu insects gradually followed, as if the woman was the controller here.
"I see!"
At this time, Miao Xiao suddenly spoke, and clapped his hands: "You want to eliminate your only weakness!"
No one answered, Miao Zheng suffered a loss and didn't want to say anything more.
Wuhua continued: "If this matter is made public, the body collectors will be extremely furious. They reserve the last dignity for the dead, but they don't expect to be framed by the living. The honest people get angry and may cause blood flow. into a river."
"At this time, you play the role of good people again, say how good you are, and let them rely on you. In this way, your last weakness will disappear." Ye Zi walked to Xu Bai and said: "Even you You can use their abilities to raise Gu."
Everyone said one sentence to another, and actually came up with a point of view. Although I don't know if this point of view is true or not, it sounds quite true now.
Miao Zheng: "..."
Although the human face did not appear at the moment, and Miao Zheng did not speak, his silence further strengthened the correctness of this point of view.
The surroundings fell into silence again, except for the sound of Gu worms flapping their wings, there was no other sound. After a long time, the faces merged again.
"I don't care what you guess, anyway, you have to die here today."
The cold voice carried a terrifying killing intent. He seemed to have made up his mind that he would never let anyone go.
Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "How can you be so confident?"
The human face sneered: "Otherwise, is there any way for you to get out?"
Xu Bai smiled and said, "I think you didn't understand a little bit."
The man's face froze for a moment: "What?"
Xu Bai stepped out, and the surrounding Gu worms rushed towards him again: "What you don't understand is that I don't even need to draw the knife, and they can't hurt me at all."
As he stepped out of the blank area, the surrounding Gu worms seemed to have seen fresh flesh and blood, and rushed over one after another.
But at the next moment, Xu Bai didn't make any movement. He didn't even pull out the knife from his waist, and just stood there.
The black light of the Vajra Heart Demon Physique appeared on Xu Bai's body, which looked like a cover.
In fact, the level of this layer of black light is a little weak now, which does not hinder Xu Bai's operation. Any Gu worm that touches Xu Bai's body will explode in the next second, turning into ashes all over the sky.
And around the Gu worms, other Gu worms were in the same miserable state.
—to transfer flowers and trees.
This skill has been upgraded by one level, and now it can just adapt to the situation in front of it. Any attacking Gu worms will be backlashed back in an instant, and can also be reflected to the surrounding Gu worms, so the kind of attack just now appeared. situation.
At this moment, those Gu worms swept over with bloodthirsty and ferocity, like a black storm.
And Xu Bai was in the center of the storm, no matter what these Gu worms couldn't go any further, after Xu Bai's move, the Gu worms in front of him were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Transferring is such a skill. The more aggressive you attack, the worse the backlash will be. As long as you don't exceed the maximum limit of this skill, there is no problem.
Unless it is to directly consume Xu Bai's true energy, but looking at the Gu worms around him, he does not have the qualifications to completely consume him.
Because of the skill of Strong Kidney Harvesting Technique, it can slowly absorb true energy from the surrounding environment.
This is Xu Bai's skill. Otherwise, if another expert is here, it is very likely that he will make a mistake in the stormy attack. After all, he can persist for a while, and he can persist for a long time, but it does not mean that he will never make mistakes.
All in all, Transcendence is an extremely stupid skill. If he can improve to the level of transformation, if this skill can really reach the level of transformation, then he can turn a blind eye to the attacks of the masters of transformation.
"Is this Master Xu's real strength?" Miao Xiao's face was filled with admiration, and his eyes seemed to be full of stars, just staring at Xu Bai's back.
I don't blame her for her performance, because the current scene is really shocking.
The sky is full of black bugs, as if the entire sky is swept by dark clouds, Xu Bai is in the center of the dark clouds, and is the only light in the dark clouds.
There is a sense of strength of one person, fighting against heaven and earth.
"Probably not." At this time, Wu Hua added affirmatively.
He has known Xu Bai for a long time, of course he knows what abilities Xu Bai has, and this is just one of Xu Bai's many abilities.
"It's really not." Ye Zi also added.
Young Master has various abilities, and he hasn't even drawn a sword yet, so he is definitely not the strongest ability.
Miao Xiao couldn't laugh or cry after hearing the two's answers: "This is not the strongest ability, how can those young geniuses live."
She is qualified to say this, because she also belongs to this category. The younger generation is young after all, and they are not that old, so most of them have not been exposed to higher levels.
So she can see that Xu Bai has already crushed all the younger generations at this moment.
"Perhaps, he is now approaching the next generation." Miao Xiao thought.
"If you can't compare, don't compare. Who would be free to compare with Benefactor Xu? That's asking for boredom." Wu Hua took it lightly.
After all, I have been stimulated a lot, so I must be able to see clearly.
"That's right..." Miao Xiao replied seriously.
Ye Zi looked at these two people, she remembered a word she learned when chatting with the young master, and now it is very suitable for these two people.
—put badly.
For the time being, let's ignore this rotten duo, at this moment, Xu Bai is in the center of the Gu insects, but he seems to be walking in the courtyard, and he cannot be shaken at all.
A human face gathered in mid-air, with a look of fear on its face.
That expression seems to say, you are so strong, how do you let others live?
"Are you surprised? To be honest, I am also surprised." Xu Bai smiled and said, "What surprises me is that you dare to assassinate me at such a weak level?"
He pulled out the black knife at his waist, because he felt that the speed was a bit slow now.
The black knife with hundreds of cracks was slowly lifted by Xu Bai, and the fragments suddenly exploded with Xu Bai at the center, sweeping towards the surroundings like a tornado.
Countless fragments turned into a sky full of stars, like the Milky Way hanging in the sky, becoming a chill.
Each fragment carries an incredible murderous aura, each fragment also carries the five-style sword technique of Yi Dao, and each fragment has an incomparable wind.
When all the pieces come together, the entire sky is saturated.
The next moment, where the fragments passed, everything was silent, not a single Gu worm survived.
Xu Bai held up the hilt of the knife in his hand. Although the blade was gone, Xu Bai at this moment seemed to be the brightest light in the entire night.
"I found you." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and looked in one direction.
Having been so severely injured, Miao Zheng, who was connected with the Gu worm, was naturally unable to stabilize his hidden body, and Xu Bai sensed where his soul was.
Xu Bai stepped out with one foot, and the next moment, he cast four turns, and the person was like a ghost, and disappeared in the same place in an instant, as if he had never appeared.
A scream sounded in the dark night, causing Ye Zi and the others to follow the sound of the scream.
In the black shadow like ink, Xu Bai's figure pushed aside the darkness and was slowly walking in.
The night is like ink, but it can't imbue Xu Bai in the slightest. Instead, he is afraid of Xu Bai and walks away.
On Xu Bai's right hand, holding a leg, looking along the leg, a young man with a dismal face was being dragged along by him.
The young man had no hands, blood flowed from his wound, and Xu Bai dragged two deep bloodstains, which looked extremely miserable in this dark night.
The Gu worms around had disappeared, and the fragments returned to Xu Bai's hands, condensing into black knives and cracks.
There was no blood on the blade, but the two lines of blood on the ground were eye-catching, forming a strong contrast.
"As expected of a blood butcher swordsman." Miao said with a smile.
Dark night, black knife, blood.
When the three are mixed together, it seems that behind Xu Bai, a field of Shura is condensed.
Xu Bai dragged very slowly, and when he came before everyone, he threw the young man without arms on the ground, and said in a calm tone: "If you want to attack me, I will cut off his hand, so that he can Can't move anymore."
Everyone shuddered.
Miao Zheng, who had lost his arms, opened his mouth to speak, but the words that came out were exposed. If you look closely, you can see that all the teeth in his mouth have been smashed.
"Oh, I was worried that there was poison in his mouth, and I wanted to take the poison, so I smashed his teeth, but I didn't find the poison." Xu Bai took it for granted: "But it's not a big problem. If you don't have teeth, you can't eat it." Bite your tongue and kill yourself."
Everyone trembled again.
"You evil ghost, you will come down to accompany me one day!" Miao Zheng writhed and wanted to get up, but it was of no avail. He could only stare at Xu Bai with resentful eyes, and cursed in his most vicious language.
Xu Bai stroked his chin, and said: "As expected of a big business, you can scold people so elegantly, and you can't compare to the little gangsters on the street."
Miao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and continued to curse: "Bastard, bastard... Ah!"
After cursing a few words and screaming, Miao Zheng lowered his head and looked at his separated left leg, his face full of astonishment.
Blood spilled without money, Xu Bai took out a bottle, and stopped the blood with the medicine in the bottle.
"There is still one leg, not so fast, I will cut off your toes first, one by one." Xu Bai said calmly.
He seemed to have thought of something, looked at Miao Xiao, and said, "I treat your cousin like this, do you have any objection?"
Miao Xiao shook his head quickly: "I have no objection, he has already betrayed us, he is a traitor."
"Hmm..." Xu Bai nodded, pointed at the sluggish woman, and said to Miao Zheng on the ground, "If our guess is correct, you would have discovered the situation of this woman, or you caused it on purpose, right? , you don’t have to pretend to be a tough guy, I have a hundred ways to make you talk, like this.”
"Clang..."
The index finger was slightly bent, and it flicked on the blade of the black knife. The next moment, the melodious music came out from the black knife, which spread like ripples in the dark environment.
Miao Zheng originally looked like he was going to die, but when the music appeared, the expression on his face suddenly froze, like a piece of rotten wood, and then he opened his mouth slowly.
"I didn't do it, it was done by the Gu God Sect. They said that only in this way can the contradictions among the corpse collectors be caused, and it can pave the way for the follow-up things. You are right, you guessed it right."
This is the so-called not doing bad things?
What kind of **** is using the corpses of treacherous and evil people as materials for raising Gu?
What **** justice?
The woman in front of her was tortured here, and all of this was done by Gu Shenjiao.
This man named Miao Zheng was full of justice, and thought he was the embodiment of justice, but he was able to witness these tragedies happen.
In the final analysis, it was just an excuse for doing bad things for myself.
"Understood, is it necessary to take this kind of person to Miaojiao to explain?" Xu Bai smiled at Miao and said.
Miao Xiao shook her head with a complicated expression.
Knowing all this, she wished she could personally cut off Miao Zheng's head.
Xu Bai turned his eyes to Miao Zheng again, and asked: "What conspiracy is the Gu God Sect doing here, tell them all."
With Xu Bai's control in his body, Miao Zheng couldn't get rid of it at all. After hearing Xu Bai's question, he could only tell the truth. He didn't even know that he had already revealed the secret at this moment.
"The Gu God Sect is going to play a big game of chess, but I don't know exactly what kind of chess they are going to play. I only know one thing. They planned the matter of the corpse collector a long time ago, and the next big game , is against you."
"It is said that... it is related to Lingyun Prefecture, and it will appear tomorrow."
Lingyun Prefecture is related, it will appear tomorrow?
Xu Bai frowned, feeling that things were a bit complicated.
For his big event, what else?
"By the way, Gu Shenjiao said that it has something to do with Fengling Mansion, because Fengling Mansion has planted a mark on you, and they seem to want something to come to you." Miao Zheng spoke again.
Xu Bai asked: "What else?"
Miaozheng shook his head, with a dull face: "No, I don't know about the others."
Xu Bai fell into deep thought.
It has something to do with Fengling Mansion, what imprints are still coming to him, why does he feel that the more he hears, the more blurred?
After thinking carefully for a while, Xu Bai gradually cleared up the blur in his mind.
"If it's related to Fengling Mansion, could it be that thing?"
The most striking thing he experienced in Fengling Mansion was Yaogui City.
mark?
Arrival?
Could it be that Yaogui City will come again with him as the center?
Xu Bai secretly said: "Back in the Fengling Mansion, those guys also wanted the ghost city to come. Maybe there is some way to temporarily isolate it and prevent the ghosts from becoming idiots."
When the ghost city comes, it will inevitably become an idiot, just like a person going to the ghost city.
Unless there is any way to isolate, or temporarily isolate.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai asked again: "Did you get anything, for example, items related to the demon clan?"
Miaozheng shook his head, expressing that he did not know.
Xu Bai secretly said: "It seems that the problem lies with me, I should have that so-called imprint on my body."
He looked left and right, but couldn't find it.
The most important thing is that it's just a guess now, not necessarily the ghost city.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai looked at Miao Zheng and swung the knife in his hand.
Blood came out, and Miao Zheng was decapitated.
"Go back to Lingyun Prefecture." Xu Bai said decisively: "See the state order, hurry up."
As I said just now, there will be abnormalities tomorrow, so there is no delay now.
Everyone knew that the matter was very urgent, so they hurriedly followed behind Xu Bai.
…
The night was as dark as ink, and the crowd rushed all the way, and soon came to Lingyun Prefecture.
Find the state government office, even at night, there are government officials guarding outside. After they knew Xu Bai's identity, they quickly notified him. After a while, Xu Bai and others were welcomed in and came to the guest room.
A middle-aged man with a long beard in an official uniform walked in, cupped his fists and said, "Lingyun Prefecture Commander Wins Chess, I have met Master Xu."
Yingzhouling looks like he is middle-aged, but when he walks, he has a scholarly air. The bookish air is very strong, but it is not annoying, and his brows are full of righteousness.
He doesn't seem to be as pedantic as those pedantic scholars, he doesn't have any contempt for Xu Bai, and he is full of courtesy when walking and receiving.
"Master Ying, to make a long story short, I have two things to do when I come here today, and I need to trouble Mr. Win." Xu Bai said.
Yingzhou ordered his hand to stroke his long beard, and said: "Master Xu, if you have something to say, just say it. Someone in Ying also communicates with Yun Zihai. The person Yun Zihai can make friends with must not be a traitor. I will definitely help."
The corners of Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.
This Yun Zihai did not expect to be quite popular in the officialdom. It was like this in Zimu Mansion before, and it is also like this in Lingyun Prefecture now.
Of course, now is not the time to think about these things, Xu Bai first talked about the woman, and then brought the dull-faced woman to Yingzhou Ling.
After hearing what Xu Bai said, Yingzhou Ling patted the table angrily, and there was a bang: "The Gu God Sect is really a bunch of beasts, and it is simply unforgivable to have their idea on the corpse collector!"
"So I hope Master Ying will take good care of her and send her to where she should go." Xu Bai said.
Ying Zhouling breathed heavily, trying to calm down the anger in his heart, and then sat down, but his beard was still trembling, obviously still very angry.
"Master Xu, don't worry, I will tell His Majesty about this and bring her to His Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely give the body collector an explanation."
"Since this is the case, then I can rest assured. There is a second matter, which is also about the Gu God Sect." Xu Bai said the second matter again.
Ying Zhouling stroked his beard while listening, and when he finished listening, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Will something happen in Lingyun Prefecture tomorrow?"
"But I didn't find any abnormalities here. I deal with big and small things here every day, and I also have to inspect some areas."
"Even if there are places that I can't inspect, there are still many policemen going there to ensure the law and order of Lingyun Prefecture."
Xu Bai pondered: "Maybe it has nothing to do with public security, but they will definitely take action, and we must be careful tomorrow."
Now I don't know what the other party wants to do, but if you have news, be on guard first, and if there is any movement, you can deal with it in time.
"Okay!" Ling Zhou nodded and said, "I will make arrangements tonight to make sure nothing goes wrong."
Xu Bai cupped his hands and said, "Then I will have to win my lord."
"Master Xu is serious." Yingzhou Ling waved his hand and said, "By the way, do you want to stay here?"
"Okay." Xu Bai did not refuse, and agreed.
Next, under arrangement, Xu Bai found a guest room to live in, and Wu Hua and Miao Xiao also lived in one each.
After Ye Zi entered the room, he locked the door behind his back and asked, "My lord, why do I always feel the same as when I was in Fengling Mansion?"
There was a trace of sadness in her eyebrows, as if thinking of the scene in Fengling Mansion.
That time was a major blow to her, and Xu Bai's disappearance made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Don't think so much." Xu Bai said: "Wait until tomorrow."
He took out the heavy sword technique, and the progress bar on it is slowly increasing, and it will be almost complete, just to take advantage of the extra progress bars tonight.
Ye Zi didn't say any more, and sat quietly by the side.
Time gradually passed, and in a blink of an eye, a night passed.
Accompanied by a cockcrow, the sky gradually brightened.
The night dissipated, and there was light on the street.
Xu Bai got up early, opened the door, and walked to the courtyard of the yamen with Ye Zi.
Wu Hua and Miao Xiao have arrived early.
"Where is Master Ying?" Xu Bai frowned.
"I just went out on urgent matters. It seems that a yamen servant came over and left after saying something." Miao laughed: "And I was very anxious."
"Oh?" Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Go, go out and have a look."
Everyone nodded, and walked out of the state office together with Xu Bai, and walked towards the street outside.
After walking for a while, he saw an unusual sight.
The streets outside should be very lively. After all, the degree of excitement in a state is of course extraordinary, but now it is bleak.
Both sides of the street are full of people lying down, their faces are full of pain, and the sound of screams can be heard endlessly.
Or covering their stomachs, or covering their heads, everyone's movements are different, but it can be seen that they are in great pain.
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, he saw the figure of Yingzhou Ling in this street, and hurried over.
"Master Ying, what happened?"
Ying Zhouling's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat at this moment. Although he was calm on the surface, it could be seen that he was still a little flustered.
But because he is an order of a state, he must not be able to show it, otherwise the people will lose their backbone, and Lingyun Prefecture may be in chaos.
Ying Zhouling whispered: "This kind of thing happened early in the morning. I don't know why. I rushed to see them. They were not poisoned, but everyone was in special pain, and the pain was different."
Xu Bai frowned, walked to a commoner, and looked down.
The people were pale and sweating profusely.
He was twitching all over his body, and he kept screaming about the pain.
The inexplicable occurrence of such a thing must have something to do with the Gu God Sect.
Miao Xiao walked over: "Master Xu, let me have a look."
Professional people do professional things. Since it is related to Gu God Sect, Miao Sect is also in a similar business. Xu Bai nodded and agreed.
Miao Xiaozai checked it carefully, raised his head and said: "It's Gu, to be precise, it's Gu poison. Someone tampered with their food and drink, and took me to see the water source."
Without waiting for Xu Bai to speak, the Yingzhou Ling on the side quickly ordered people to take them to the nearest water source.
The people in this area share the same well water.
When Miao Xiao came to the well, he raised his palm.
The next moment, a Gu worm flew out, its body was golden yellow, and it looked really beautiful.
—Gold Silk Gu.
The Golden Silk Gu fluttered its wings and danced at the mouth of the well. Then, there was a burst of insect chirping from the bottom of the well, and then a black Gu insect the size of a fist flew out of it, attacking the Golden Silk Gu.
Of course this Gu worm was no match for the Golden Silk Gu, it was quickly defeated and was torn to pieces by the Golden Silk Gu.
Miao smiled solemnly and said: "This is a poisonous Gu, a highly poisonous thing. Fortunately, it was diluted with well water, so it didn't kill people immediately."
As he spoke, Miao Xiao waved his sleeves, and a dozen Gu worms fell on the ground, turning into a pile of fly ash, which just happened to pile up on the ground.
"Master Win, use the ashes that these Gu worms turned into, and dilute them a hundred times with water to save them."
Yingzhou Ling was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly ordered people to do so.
After the yamen servants removed the ashes, after a while, a yamen servant came over and said that the poison had been cured, and Yingzhou Ling was relieved.
"Is Gu Shenjiao really crazy? Even the most evil way in the world, they don't dare to attack ordinary people rashly. Are they trying to make His Majesty angry?"
As soon as he slackened, Yingzhou Ling became extremely angry.
"Now is not the time to discuss these things." Xu Bai said: "It is important to deal with the Gu God Sect first."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a golden compass appeared.
The pointer on the compass began to shake continuously.
The next moment, the magnitude of the shaking gradually decreased, and finally pointed to a direction.
Just now, Xu Bai used the situation here as an excuse to perform divination, and finally came up with an instruction.
Wuhua looked at the direction pointed by the pointer, and said, "This location seems to be in the direction of the state government."
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, then he reacted and said: "No, it's just a slap in the face, go back quickly!"
As he spoke, he performed Xing Break four times, and quickly ran towards the state government office.
…
In the state office, a man in ordinary clothes was holding a book, walked out quietly, and put the book on the ground.
A Gu worm appeared from his hand, and the next moment, the Gu worm ate up the book in front of him.
At this time, Xu Bai just appeared at the door and saw this scene.
"Hahaha! Blood Slaughter Swordsman! I won't let you torture me!" The man raised his hand and pierced his heart: "It's useless to think of all your tricks, this is what we want to destroy thing."
