Chapter 177 Xu Bai: Are you kidding about the 5,000-year culture? (8000)
Looking at the closed door in front of him, the Seventh Prince felt that his whole body had collapsed.
He didn't do anything taboo when he came here this time, and he didn't come to the door to provoke him. He came up with a gift. Why didn't he say anything before he was rejected by Xu Bai?
You have to at least wait for me to finish speaking!
The Seventh Prince clenched the box in his hand, causing the box to deform a little. He took a deep breath, tried to calm down the depression and anger in his heart, put on a smiling face, and knocked on the door.
"Master Xu, I know there was some enmity between the two of us in the past, but I am here to apologize, open the door."
The door didn't open, and Xu Bai's voice came.
"It's good to put things outside the door. Xu is not feeling well recently, and he is afraid of infecting His Highness the Seventh Prince, so that's not good."
infect?
Feeling unwell?
You are a majestic master of the mortal state, and now you say that you are not feeling well, are you fooling a ghost?
The Seventh Prince's eyebrows twitched wildly, and he always felt that if he stood here for a few more minutes, he would explode with anger.
But the other party didn't open the door at all, and he couldn't force his way in. Thinking of this, the Seventh Prince could only put the things in his hand outside the door, and slowly got up.
"Then I'll put it here."
The Seventh Prince did not stay any longer, turned around and left directly, but after he went out, he found a corner and watched secretly.
After about half a stick of incense, the two maids held the gift box he put in before and threw it outside like trash.
The Seventh Prince clenched his fists when he saw this scene. He knew that Xu Bai was not only unwilling to see him, but also very wary of him, even unwilling to open the things he gave him, and he didn't even want to take a look at them.
Thinking of this, he took out the ordinary mirror from his arms and thought to himself.
"Fortunately, I didn't put the mirror inside, or it might have been smashed."
The prime minister’s Eternal Spirit Chapter is sealed in this mirror, but the material is just an ordinary mirror. The Eternal Spirit Chapter has no effect on people with righteous hearts, so it is even more impossible to make the mirror stronger.
If it fell directly, the mirror would definitely be damaged, but now that Xu Bai can't see him, how can he hand the mirror to Xu Bai to take a picture?
After thinking for a while, the seventh prince finally gritted his teeth and walked out from the corner. He came to Xu Bai's house again, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Master Xu, I must see you today. If you don't come out, I will wait in front."
Compared with the past, the Seventh Prince no longer has the usual arrogance. Instead, he looks like a person who visits the thatched cottage three times and is eager for talents.
In the room, Xu Bai rubbed his chin, not sure why the Seventh Prince came over.
Transformed? difficult.
For a person like this, it would be impossible for him to change his **** for no reason, unless he was severely beaten.
It's like never having experienced life, before experiencing the beatings of the society, and always think that you are the best.
There is definitely something going on here.
Just now I have declared that I don’t see you, and I have thrown all the gifts out. Now I still want to come, and I am determined to stay outside the door. It seems that if I don’t go out, the Seventh Prince will definitely not leave.
Xu Bai thought of this, so he came to the door and opened it.
"Why does His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince insist on this? The feud between us has already been revealed, and there is no need to apologize."
There is still a need to save face, after all, these days, everyone has to talk about saving face.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Bai just opened the door, the Seventh Prince didn't even say anything, and directly raised the mirror in his hand, and took a look at Xu Bai's face.
"Um?"
The mirror did not shine on Xu Bai's face, but was snatched by Xu Bai, keeping the smooth side of the mirror away from his direction.
Then, Xu Bai raised his foot and kicked it hard.
The Seventh Prince was attacked and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
The Seventh Prince who stopped had his hair disheveled. His originally combed hair had been scattered aside due to the continuous tumbling, and even the silk and satin on his body were covered with dense dust.
He didn't expect Xu Bai's reaction to be so fast, he snatched the mirror away without even reflecting on it, and even kicked him, making him a gourd.
"Oh, why is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince so careless when walking? There are hard stone slabs here. If you fall, it will really hurt." Xu Bai said with a concerned face on the surface, but in fact he said expressionlessly.
The emperor has already spoken, let him take good care of the seventh prince, how could he let go of this opportunity?
Besides, it was the Seventh Prince who fell down by himself just now, and it has nothing to do with him. As for the footprints on the chest...
When you fall down, the ground is not clean, and there are one or two footprints on it, which is really normal.
The Seventh Prince was already angry in an instant, he stood up, pointed at Xu Bai, his face was cloudy, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it when it reached his mouth.
How to say? There is simply no way.
The opponent didn't beat him seriously, but just kicked him, saying he fell down.
There is no one else here, and the two maids have been guarding the door, and there is no way to be a witness. Even if there is suffering, they can only bear it by themselves.
Pointing at Xu Bai for a long time, he was also speechless, and finally the Seventh Prince snorted coldly, waved his hand and left directly.
No matter, anyway, the mirror has been delivered, as to whether it will work or not, it has nothing to do with him.
Not long after the seventh prince walked out, he happened to meet Wen Chengshu who was watching a play in the corner.
For the prime minister's third disciple, the Seventh Prince doesn't like the plain aura of the other party, especially the incident that happened today, which made him lose face and is even more unbearable.
Wen Chengshu hid in the corner and waved to the Seventh Prince, meaning to come over quickly.
It looks very obscene, like a voyeur.
Although he was angry, the Seventh Prince still walked over and told what happened.
Especially when Xu Bai snatched the mirror away, and it didn't shine on Xu Bai, he emphasized it all.
"It's okay." Wen Chengshu patted his chest confidently: "Actually, as long as the mirror sees him, it's already triggered, but it's just a little later, and he doesn't need to look in the mirror."
The Seventh Prince gritted his teeth and said, "What you mean is that I have completely become a tool for your plan, and you still made me look bad on purpose."
Obviously as long as you touch it, you insist on saying that you have to look in the mirror to trigger it successfully. This shows that Wen Chengshu deliberately didn't tell him and let him come over to make a fool of himself.
And with the character and temper of the prime minister, he would never intentionally make things difficult for him.
Investigate the reason, then this matter must be Wen Chengshu's own claim.
"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, don't be angry, no matter how you say it is a kind of training." Wen Chengshu said with a very indifferent face.
He doesn't have the arrogance of a scholar, but instead has an aura of seclusion.
"What a test." The Seventh Prince was about to grit his teeth, but thinking of the identity of the other party, and after thinking about the cooperation between himself and the other party, he could only swallow the broken teeth in his mouth.
Wen Chengshu took out a brush, sketched in the sky for a moment, and easily spread the picture of Xu Bai.
The yard.
Xu Bai just wanted to throw away the mirror in his hand, but what he didn't expect was that an inexplicable air flow appeared in the mirror. This air flow carried a light that people couldn't look directly at, like the light of righteousness.
"Sure enough, there is a problem."
The two maids guarding the door didn't notice anything unusual. Even though the light was very dazzling, the two maids didn't seem to have seen it.
Based on this, Xu Bai deduced that this thing was precisely coming towards him.
"It's specially for me."
Thinking of this, Xu Bai pulled himself together and prepared to deal with this inexplicable light.
But the next moment, before he could react, the light in the mirror in front of him gradually weakened, and finally disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared before.
"What's going on here?" Xu Bai was puzzled, he took the mirror in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, but he didn't see any difference.
Obviously there was light just now, but the light disappeared in a blink of an eye, so what is the situation?
Xu Bai couldn't make up his mind, but still threw the mirror in his hand, then turned around, and went back to the room. He planned to take a good look to see if something went wrong with him.
Just when he returned to the room, in a corner outside, Wen Chengshu looked at the light in front of him, and he froze on the spot, like a wooden sculpture, without any reaction.
The seventh prince next to him was curious and wanted to stretch out his hand to push it, but he also thought that these things were very evil. If he touched them and something happened, he had no place to reason, so he held back his curiosity.
Wen Chengshu had a dull expression all over his face. After a while, he dismissed the scene in front of him, his face was slightly gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, only he, the prime minister's third disciple, can know that what happened at that moment just now was too exciting.
As we all know, the Longevity of Noble Qi has an extremely powerful effect on those who have evil spirits in their hearts. The more serious it is, the stronger the effect will be.
But nothing seemed to happen just now, which proves that Xu Bai not only has no evil spirits in his heart, but is actually a person with great spirit in his heart.
But these are just the opinions of laymen. As an insider, Wen Chengshu is more aware of this situation, and there is a second accident.
No one can be pure and innocent, unless it is a newborn baby, there will be more or less dirty things, but Xu Bai doesn't even react to the mirror at all, which can only explain the second situation.
The second situation is that Xu Bai has already surpassed the Haoqi Eternal Existence Chapter, but is this possible?
It's simply impossible!
Because Xu Bai is not a scholar, although according to the current information, Xu Bai has learned a lot, but the share of scholars is very small.
"I'd like to see what kind of strange person he is, who can resist even the teacher's handwriting." Wen Chengshu took a deep breath, raised the brush in his hand, and sketched in midair.
He has already learned the Eternal Virtue, so he wants to take this opportunity to use the Eternal Virtue as a guide to find out the root of it, even if he can only find a tiny bit, it will be extremely useful.
The awe-inspiring aura unique to scholars flowed through Wen Chengshu's heart, and swayed in the air along the brush. After a while, Wen Chengshu closed his eyes.
The next moment, he seemed to see a vast expanse of white light, and in the vast white light, lines of text were being passed on continuously.
The text gradually became clear from small to large, and it caught Wen Chengshu's eyes.
"A gentleman's defense, cultivate his body and make the world peaceful."
"A gentleman should not compare himself to others, and a villain should not compare himself to others."
"A gentleman is cautious about what he doesn't see, and afraid of what he doesn't hear."
…
Many sentences appeared in front of his eyes. These sentences were composed of the words just now. In Wen Chengshu's view, each sentence was deafening to him.
Every sentence can make him have a huge vibration, and even make him feel numb all over his body. This feeling is resonance.
Wen Chengshu stood there in a daze, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably, and the brush in his hand was cracked. Compared with the indifference before, Wen Chengshu at this moment seemed extremely excited.
The texts he explored through the chapter on the long life of grand energy are all the texts in Xu Bai's subconscious mind.
Either Xu Bai had seen it before, but didn't write it down. He just subconsciously wrote it down and didn't remember it.
Either Xu Bai wrote it himself!
Wen Chengshu quickly figured out the second scenario, because the first scenario is unlikely. If someone had written it and Xu Bai had read it, his talent would have already flowed like a river, making the world Everyone has seen it, so how can it be unknown?
Of course, what he doesn't know is that Xu Bai really can't remember so much, but as a person who grew up in a 5,000-year culture, he has seen them all, right?
After reading it, it left a shadow in the subconscious, and now it is only triggered by Wen Chengshu.
"This person is truly an astonishing talent, and he should be the treasure of my scholar. No, I must let the teacher know about it!"
Wen Chengshu turned around and was about to leave immediately.
Now he wished he could put on his wings, walk up to his teacher, and say all the words he saw just now, but before he could take two steps, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Your Highness Seventh Prince, you have gone too far this time."
Xu Bai stands out of thin air, suspended in the mid-air, as a master of metamorphosis, he has already learned to walk in the air.
There was no wind blowing, but the sun and moon Taoist robe on Xu Bai's body did not move, making him look a little scary.
Not long ago, Xu Bai suddenly felt that someone was watching him, and when he walked out the door, he found something abnormal here.
The seventh prince suddenly felt a huge pressure coming, he hurriedly looked at Wen Chengshu, ready to speak.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, he felt a pain in his chest, and he was already flying high and landed heavily on the ground.
"Xu Bai, be bold!" Around the Seventh Prince, a dozen shadows suddenly appeared, and then these people rushed towards Xu Bai.
"The dogs raised by the Seventh Prince are worthy of talking to me?" Xu Bai waved his sleeves.
A chaotic breath came out, and there was endless despair in the chaos. At the same time, the dozen or so people all flew upside down, spitting out blood.
"Xu Bai, you dare to hit me!"
Being hit again and again, the Seventh Prince finally couldn't bear his domineering character, stood up, with disheveled hair, pointed at Xu Bai, his face was full of anger.
"No, I just teach you a lesson for His Majesty." Xu Bai smiled, and the next moment, he slapped the Seventh Prince on the face.
How strong is he now?
A master who has shed the first rank, according to Eunuch Wei, can even fight the third rank.
How can the Seventh Prince resist?
With this slap, the Seventh Prince flew up again and hit the wall next to him. Apart from anger, there was also consternation.
No!
In this palace, it seems to be loose and loose, but it is heavily guarded and orderly. He is being beaten now, why no one stood up to stop him?
In an instant, the Seventh Prince remembered what Wen Chengshu said not long ago.
The Seventh Prince understood instantly.
He trembled a little, but tried to hold on to the wall.
Facing Xu Bai who was walking, there were many thoughts in his mind, but there was no fear on his face.
As a member of the royal family, how can you be afraid?
Although he has never experienced the scene of the eldest prince fighting on the battlefield, since he was a child, he has not been in a bad mood.
It's just in his heart, but there is still sadness.
"Mother's blessings, have I finally used them up?"
He had a thought in his mind, and after this thought appeared, it filled his heart instantly.
He remembered a long, long time ago, no, to be precise, he grew up listening to his mother's legends since childhood.
That is a real heroine, and ninety-nine out of ten men in this world can't match her.
Now, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have lost face, not the face of the royal family, but the face of his mother.
The Seventh Prince raised his hands.
There is a powerful aura circulating in him.
He wants to fight, at least not to be beaten too badly by Xu Bai, at least not to show fear.
But Xu Bai's change was originally chaotic, the Seventh Prince couldn't resist his instinct, so he could only lean his back against the wall to prevent himself from falling to the ground.
"Very good." Xu Bai stopped, and said, "Although I haven't seen the Sword Queen, I have heard of her legend. You are like this, at least you haven't insulted her reputation."
The seventh prince's legs trembled: "What do you mean?"
"Get out." Xu Bai said lightly.
The Seventh Prince was taken aback for a while, but didn't react for a long time.
At this time, Wen Chengshu cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to the Seventh Prince for awakening."
The Seventh Prince finally understood when he heard this sentence, and his face became a little complicated: "Is it Father... who made you like this?"
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "If it wasn't for His Majesty's face, you wouldn't be worthy of my action. It just so happens that this is an opportunity, isn't it?"
The Seventh Prince gave a bitter smile, turned around and left without saying anything else.
However, the back view of him leaving is very different, without the arrogance and domineering of the past.
At the scene, only Xu Bai and Wen Chengshu were left.
Wen Chengshu said with emotion: "I didn't expect the Seventh Prince to change his personality so easily. It's really rare."
"When a person loses his support, he will change." Xu Bai shrugged and made a boring expression: "He is not a rich man, but a child who has lived under the blessing of his mother for a long time. Personality, when Fuze disappears and is severely beaten, two situations will occur.”
"Oh?" Wen Chengshu asked curiously, "Which two kinds?"
"First, since then, his personality has become more extreme." Xu Bai raised **** and said lightly, "Second, is to change his personality."
"What if he is in the first situation and hasn't changed?" Wen Chengshu continued to ask.
Xu Bai smiled calmly: "Then just give him another beating. There's nothing wrong with it. Two beatings can't solve it."
Wen Chengshu cupped his hands: "I have learned a lot today, and it's getting late. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After speaking, Wen Chengshu was going to turn around and leave.
But before he took two steps, Xu Bai appeared in front of him again.
Still looking calm and breezy, but around Xu Bai's body, golden and off-white rays of light merged, creating an extreme chaos.
Wen Chengshu took a deep breath and said, "Master Xu, what does this mean?"
Xu Bai raised his hand and landed on Wen Chengshu's face very precisely.
Wen Chengshu flew upside down, and after rolling a few times on the ground, he struggled to get up.
"Today, for the sake of the Prime Minister, I will only give you a slap." Xu Bai withdrew his hand and said, "I have a clear distinction between public and private, don't think that if you blame the Seventh Prince, I don't know your role in it. .”
Wen Chengshu covered his face and showed a wry smile: "It is true that I was wrong about what happened today. The teacher once said that if you make a mistake, you will be punished. I admit it."
Xu Bai put his hands behind his back, and the golden and off-white light around him quickly disappeared.
He turned around, returned to his residence, and left a word.
"get out."
…
After Xu Bai left, Wen Chengshu finally breathed a sigh of relief. His whole body was already drenched in cold sweat.
Especially the palms of his hands were already covered with sweat. The chaotic power made him almost go crazy. If it wasn't for his awe-inspiring spirit, he might have already been unable to resist.
"With this kind of strength, how can today's young people live for a lifetime?" Wen Chengshu smiled wryly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and left quickly without forgetting his own affairs.
…
After leaving this place, Wen Chengshu went straight out of the palace and came to a mansion in the capital.
There are two servants guarding the mansion, but after seeing that it is Wen Chengshu, they let him in directly.
The decoration of the yard is very unique, with elegance everywhere, but Wen Chengshu didn't have time to appreciate it, so he came to a group of houses soon and knocked lightly on the door.
After a while, the door opened automatically, and Wen Chengshu walked in, saluting to a sitting figure.
"The disciple has met the teacher."
Prime Minister Wen has gray hair, but is dressed neatly and plainly. He is holding a brush in his hand and writing with his head down. When Wen Chengshu came in, he didn't even look up.
Although the surroundings are extraordinarily chic, if you look closely, they are all simple and ordinary items. Apart from looking more elegant when placed on them, they are not worth much on the street.
This is the home of the prime minister of the current dynasty. It seems that everything else is extremely simple except for its size.
The distinction between public and private is the characteristic of Prime Minister Wen.
One heart for Great Chu is also a characteristic of Prime Minister Wen.
Sometimes, even Wen Chengshu, who is a student, feels that the teacher is too ruthless to himself.
Nothing is required except salary.
And these salaries are only left by the teacher for his own life.
To put it bluntly, even some county magistrates the size of sesame seeds have a better life than their own teachers.
Sometimes Wen Chengshu even wants to ask, is this life worth it?
But he didn't ask.
Everyone has different ideas, and his teacher is happy for it.
"What happened, you're in a panic." Prime Minister Wen put the brush aside and frowned.
Although he is old, he naturally has a literati air about him. It doesn't look very strong, but he is particularly engrossed.
Wen Chengshu thought about it, and finally told what happened, especially when he saw those sentences.
The scene fell into silence, and Prime Minister Wen leaned back on his chair, lost in thought.
"Forget it, don't worry about it." Prime Minister Wen waved his hand and said: "This one, His Majesty has won."
Wen Chengshu nodded. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.
"A gentleman is magnanimous and speaks up when he has something to say. Why do he act like a villain?" Prime Minister Wen snapped.
Wen Chengshu shivered, and hurriedly said: "Teacher, what do you think of Xu Bai?"
Prime Minister Wen pondered for a moment, and said: "He is talented, and he is a great talent. You can tell from the sentences you brought back, but his thinking is contrary to mine."
"For example, Xu Bai's friend, Yun Zihai."
"He is also a talented young man, but he is thinking about self-government."
"In my opinion, anyone who does not safeguard the interests of the Great Chu Kingdom is against me."
Wen Chengshu hesitated and said, "Then why..."
He didn't finish his sentence, because he felt that the world said his teacher was a pedantic person, and he was the most pedantic person in the world.
So... why did his teacher agree again, especially Yun Zihai, his teacher strongly opposed it at the beginning, but finally agreed.
"Alas..." Prime Minister Wen sighed, and asked, "Even you think I'm a pedantic person?"
"I don't dare." Wen Chengshu quickly lowered his head.
Prime Minister Wen stood up, came to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said slowly.
"As the prime minister, why don't I know the benefits of change?"
"But change requires a price."
"I'm old, and I can't afford those costs. I know that, according to my method, although the great motherland does not have the ultimate glory, it will inevitably continue."
"Your Majesty's method... Yun Zihai's self-control, and Xu Bai's next one, is reform."
"But success or failure, I can't tell. This is just a small-scale experiment of His Majesty. I agree with the experiment, but I want to control the factors of success. Do you understand now?"
Wen Chengshu nodded half understanding, but he knew very well in his heart that the teacher would no longer care about Xu Bai's affairs.
However, just like Yun Zihai back then, the teacher still didn't want to see Xu Bai.
Wen Chengshu left, leaving only Prime Minister Wen.
Prime Minister Wen looked at the empty room, then returned to the chair and sat down with a tired look on his face.
"In this world, whether it is Da Chu, Da Yue, or the barbarians, they are all thinking of unification, because only unification can truly enter that place."
"Let's see who can unify."
…
Since Xu Bai hit the Seventh Prince last time, the Seventh Prince has stopped.
Since the last time, more than ten days have passed. Seeing that the one-month period is approaching, there are less than ten days left.
Xu Bai is still doing nothing, but he has undergone a huge change.
The puppet of the fourth rank has become a first rank, and the black knife at the waist appeared again.
It is still called Bai Li, but it is already a first-rank Bai Li, which has been greatly improved.
This is thanks to the materials sent by Princess Nine, otherwise he would not have so many materials to do it.
Today, Xu Bai, as usual, with Bai Li on his waist, first went to the royal treasure house to check on Ye Zi's study progress.
Ye Zi studied with the old woman, and the progress of learning was very fast, as if the door to a new world had been opened, and she was faintly stepping into the realm of the second rank.
After all, the old woman is a master who can rival Wei Gonggong, and it is normal to have this kind of improvement ability.
After visiting the royal treasure house, he ran to the palace of the Ninth Princess along the same road, and flirted with Qingxue for a while. After Qingxue rolled his eyes, he leisurely returned to his residence.
The story of him violently beating the Seventh Prince was also circulated among the royal family.
Xu Bai didn't know what those royal family members thought, nor did he have the interest to know.
Recently, the days have indeed been very comfortable. He has been waiting for the emperor's reply. Seeing that the time is coming, Xu Bai is also looking forward to it.
What kind of reward is it?
According to Eunuch Wei, the rewards given will definitely satisfy him.
It seems that seeing the grand prize is about to be revealed, but I am still waiting, it is very uncomfortable.
After returning to the residence, Xu Bai leaned back on that chair again, and began to rest leisurely.
"Less than ten days."
Xu Bai put his hands on his head, thinking in his heart.
The afternoon sun was very bright, shining in through the window, Xu Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a little drowsy.
The Yipin puppet stood by, tirelessly.
Just as Xu Bai was about to fall asleep, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
Eunuch Wei pushed the door open and entered. After seeing Xu Bai's state, he smiled and said, "You are quite comfortable, kid."
Xu Bai woke up from his sleep, stood up and said, "It turns out that Eunuch Wei is here, please come in."
During this period of time, apart from wandering around, he would drink with Eunuch Wei every day. He suddenly found that he and Eunuch Wei hit it off. The more they chatted, the more they got along with each other.
If it wasn't for the two of them getting older, they would probably come to burn yellow paper to worship while drinking.
Xu Bai looked at Eunuch Wei's hands, and was a little disappointed when he didn't see the wine jar.
"Boy Xu, you only know how to drink every day. It seems that I have aroused your alcohol addiction during this period of time. You must quit. Alcohol is easy to cause trouble." Eunuch Wei shook his head, walked up to Xu Bai, He took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Xu Bai.
No wine to drink, another letter was handed over, it seemed that there was business.
Xu Bai took it, opened the letter paper, took a rough look, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Explain why the mirror doesn’t trigger the progress bar, because the mirror has already been triggered when the mirror appears, which means nothing.
