Chapter 203 The Trip to Dayue (8000)
Xu Bai thought that King Shengyou was talking about other things with him, but he didn't expect to talk about Liu Qingfeng in the end.
Actually, there are various news about Liu Qingfeng, in the end, Xu Bai only learned part of it.
It is said that his madness is due to the self-created immortal body, and later he wanted to study the method of immortality.
In the end, he lost his mind and soul, to the point where he is now.
At least that's what everyone said so far, but now King Shengyou told him that there was another meaning, which aroused his curiosity.
Xu Bai didn't speak, because he knew King Shengyou would tell.
The head has been opened, and it is not appropriate to speak in a timely manner.
Sure enough, after waiting for a short while, King Shengyou continued to speak, following the headline just now.
"His state is actually the reason for creating his own exercises, but it has something to do with a place." King Shengyou said slowly.
Such a sentence made Xu Bai feel a little dazed.
It's not because of the creation of the exercises, but because of a place?
Where exactly is it?
Where did he go, lost his spirit and turned into a fool?
Xu Bai suddenly had a guess, maybe he has an idea.
"Actually, we only discovered it recently, because we got a broken book he left behind, which recorded the process of this matter." King Shengyou put his hand to his mouth and coughed softly , it seems a bit embarrassing.
"It's a coincidence that this thing was given to me by the Master Yumian after he found me, saying that he obtained it unintentionally."
"Ben Wang beat her up because of you. Alas, I didn't expect her to really regain her senses. She still remembered this matter."
"Before leaving, I took a lot of treasures from this king, saying it was compensation."
Jade face viewer?
Such a familiar name, why does it seem like I heard it somewhere?
Xu Bai thought about it carefully, and soon knew who it was. Isn't this the crazy female priest?
This guy even ran to the border while he was awake, and even gave King Shengyou a book.
At the beginning, it was indeed because of herself. The female temple master was beaten up by King Shengyou, and she was beaten badly, so she fled in despair.
"What is recorded in that book?" Xu Bai asked.
Others are irrelevant, now Xu Bai is very curious, what is the reason why Liu Qingfeng is in his current state.
King Shengyou didn't continue talking. He turned around and came to a cabinet. After searching in the cabinet for a while, he found a book and handed it to Xu Bai.
The meaning is to let Xu Bai see it by himself. He can't explain it clearly, but it's easier and clearer to watch it directly.
Xu Bai didn't hesitate or be wordy, he opened the book after taking it, and when he finished reading the whole book, he closed it silently and returned it to King Shengyou.
"I see."
What is recorded in the book is actually very simple. The reason why this guy wants to lose his soul is because he wants to enter the city of deception.
According to the records in this book, at that time Liu Qingfeng lacked the ability to repair the soul, so the soul could not be repaired like the immortal body.
So he was thinking of a solution, and soon, he thought of it.
At the beginning, he searched almost all over to find this kind of spirit-related exercises, but he couldn't find anything that fit him. So he went back and searched through ancient books, and found a clue.
According to ancient books, in a long time ago, there was an existence who had absolute control over the soul, and he might be able to solve the predicament at that time.
But the people of that era have long since died, so Liu Qingfeng thought of Guishi.
If you can enter the Guild City, you may be able to find relevant clues.
This guy is also a ruthless person. He also knows that after entering the Guild City, all the souls will be wiped out, so he used an extremely ruthless method, endured the severe pain, and divided his soul into two, storing part of it in the outside world. But I found a suitable opportunity to enter the tricky city.
When I got here, there is no record above, because after that, I entered the tricky city, and it is estimated that there was an accident at that time.
"Even if we go in, we will lose our soul in an instant, let alone him." King Shengyou said slowly.
"He thought he was smart, thinking that if he divided his soul into two, he would be able to retain part of his soul. If he was in danger, he would be able to recover slowly if he escaped."
"But he didn't expect that the reason why the sly city is a sly city would not have these loopholes for him to exploit. When he entered, everything was gone, and he became what he is now."
"After he came out, he instinctively wanted to find his most important thing. He had absorbed countless things related to the soul, and even absorbed the soul, but the rules of the tricky city are like that, no matter how much he absorbs, it will dissipate."
Speaking of this, King Shengyou paused for a while.
Xu Bai frowned, connected all the clues, and found that it seemed to be possible.
When he summoned Liu Qingfeng, Liu Qingfeng was slowly absorbing his soul.
But no matter how much it absorbs, it is like a broken bottle that has been missed. As much as it is absorbed, it will be lost. This may be the reason why Liu Qingfeng entered the city at the beginning.
"My lord just said that I should not have too much contact with him, will it be affected?" Xu Bai asked.
The records in this book and what King Shengyou said just now are all done by Liu Qingfeng himself, but no other people are involved.
King Shengyou asked him not to have too much contact with Liu Qingfeng, Xu Bai guessed that there was an inside story.
King Shengyou nodded, and asked back: "How much do you know about the rules of tricky markets?"
Xu Bai shook his head, expressing little knowledge.
He only went in twice in total, so he knows very little.
"Even if we don't know much, we all know that it is a terrible place." King Shengyou said.
"The so-called scary doesn't mean that the weirdness there is very strong, but that rule, why don't I let you have too much contact with him, because no one can say for sure whether there will be a mutation."
"Think about it, if you have been in contact for a long time, you are also dragged into it, what will happen to your soul, you will become the same state as him."
"Although there is no evidence that this will happen, but be careful and try not to have too much contact with him."
Xu Bai understood.
Although there are no examples, everything has to be planned for a rainy day.
However, for Xu Bai, he is not afraid of being dragged in by the rules of the deceitful market.
If he waits for his strength to reach a certain level and is able to protect himself, he would even wish to be dragged in.
The last time he was dragged in, his progress bar was upgraded rapidly, and the golden finger immediately accelerated. If it happens again, it will continue to speed up, which is a very cool thing.
Of course, he couldn't say these things, let alone say it. He just nodded, expressing his understanding, saying that he would never have too much contact with Liu Qingfeng.
King Shengyou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Bai's answer.
No way, he can figure out the thoughts of many people, but sometimes he just can't figure out Xu Baibai's thoughts.
Because of Xu Bai's thinking, sometimes he is too evasive, whether he is evasive or avant-garde.
This kind of thinking and character is a good thing, after all, it will not make Xu Bai fall into a dull and pedantic, but sometimes it is also a bad thing.
So as a senior, he must remind Xu Bai that such a talent must not be troubled.
"By the way, from the way I look at you, I seem to have something to say. What is it?" King Shengyou has already said what he should say, and now he is asking Xu Bai.
Seeing Xu Bai's expression just now, something was wrong.
Xu Bai then changed the subject and asked about Sansheng Mountain.
There are still dozens of progress bars waiting for him, and he doesn't want to give up.
What's more, there are white-haired old people's guesses about when resources are exhausted, so he wants to take a look.
After hearing this, King Shengyou frowned tightly: "Sansheng Mountain, I have never heard of this name, can you describe the general shape to me?"
From an extremely distant era to the present, many names may have changed, and it is normal for King Shengyou not to know.
But for such a long time, for a mountain, its characteristics will not change much.
Xu Bai roughly described it.
It would be difficult for him to find it by himself, but King Shengyou is different.
When the Great Chu Kingdom was established, King Shengyou was the horseshoe of the general army, setting foot in every place.
So regarding these mountains and rivers, King Shenyou should know better than him.
"Soaring into the clouds, the mountain road is steep?" King Shengyou fell into deep thought, as if recalling it, and shook his head after a long while.
"If you say that the mountain road is steep, many of these characteristics are in line with what you said, but if you want to say that it reaches the sky, the Great Chu Kingdom does not have it."
"In the Great Chu Kingdom, many mountains are not so high, and the terrain is not so complicated. If you really want to find it, maybe other places."
other places?
Even the Great Chu Kingdom doesn’t exist, so Xu Bai already knows what the so-called other places are.
"Da Viet? Or barbarians?"
The entire world is now these three countries, so apart from the Great Chu Kingdom, there are only two other parties left.
King Shengyou nodded and said, "Dayue Kingdom."
"In the area under their jurisdiction, there are high mountains and dense forests, and there are many dangerous places."
"If you're looking for the kind of mountain that soars into the clouds, that's the best place to go."
He is telling the truth. After all, every country has a different geographical form, and he can't conjure up a towering mountain for Xu Bai. If he really wants to find it, he can only go to Dayue Country.
It is impossible for barbarians to exist. The terrain there is the simplest, that is, flat terrain.
Xu Bai fell into deep thought.
If this is the case, he can only go to Dayue country once, and he is thinking whether this trip is worth it?
After thinking about it carefully, he patted his thigh for the last time and decided.
went!
This thing involves dozens of progress bars, and even involves the secrets of that era. If you don't take a look at it, he will feel bad.
King Shengyou saw Xu Bai's actions, and already knew what Xu Bai was thinking.
"Are you really going? You know, with your current status, what kind of situation will you face after the past?"
"Not to mention anything else, I think the strongest people in Dayue Kingdom will attack you and take your life directly."
What you said is absolutely true. Xu Bai is now in the Great Chu Kingdom, and almost no one dares to do anything to him. Even if it is an assassination, it is impossible to send a master. After all, it is not certain whether he can break through the border?
So in the Great Chu State, even if Xu Bai walked sideways with his eyes closed, no one cared about him.
The title Xu Wangye has also been fully implemented in the Great Chu Kingdom. With this title, the Jianghu of the Great Chu Kingdom will give face.
Don't you see, when I was in Buddhism, a token made all the monks shut up.
But in the Great Chu Kingdom, it was the Great Chu Kingdom. After leaving the Great Chu Kingdom, these identities of Xu Bai were superimposed, as if there were countless flags erected behind him.
You almost tell others blatantly that I'm coming, hurry up and kill me.
Moreover, the State of Dayue would not take his identity into consideration, wishing to kill him and cause the State of Chu to lose an extremely important person.
Anyway, everyone has already torn their skins. The reason why the fight did not start is because no one is sure, and they don't want third-party forces to take advantage of it.
So those who can make dirty tricks use dirty tricks, and a person who is dirty is a person.
Xu Bai smiled and said, "It's easy to change."
He took out the human skin mask from his bosom, which was left to him by the female thief with thousands of faces, and he wanted to return it, but Xu Bai didn't want to return it now.
Wearing this thing on the face, even Bai Chong, the army **** of the Great Vietnam Army, and Gu Muyin, the deputy leader of the barbarians, didn't notice it. It's really an excellent treasure.
So Xu Bai already has a plan. This time, he may have to change his identity.
"Please tell me, my lord, and Senior Girl Thief with Thousand Faces, I will lend this thing to me for a while, and I will return it to him when the time comes." Xu Bai said.
Borrow...
It’s not taking.
This request is not too much.
King Shengyou fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said slowly: "You don't need to talk to him anymore. This king agrees. You can take it away. It will be good for you if you can go outside, but be careful."
"I thought the prince would disagree, after all, I have a different status now." Xu Bai said.
King Shengyou shook his head: "My old brother and I have different ideas. I have always believed that when a real talent appears, it is like a piece of jade that has not been carved. light."
"A long time ago, I told you that you have to take a broader view, not just in the Great Chu Kingdom. In this Great Chu Kingdom, you are truly carefree now, but you have to truly make the world fear you." You need to get out."
"It sounds like a very lonely thing to make the world fear you, but loneliness is better than death."
Xu Bai smiled, put the mask back on his face, and said: "Going out this time, the follow-up matters need the help of the prince, and by the way, tell your majesty, you must keep my news tightly sealed, I don't want to go and die."
King Shengyou nodded in agreement.
Of course they have to do these things well, after all it is to save Xu Bai's life.
King Shengyou said subconsciously: "Is that thing very important to you? Do you want to take such a big risk?"
"Very important." Xu Bai replied very definitely.
Progress bars from distant times, and secrets about resource depletion.
When the two stack up, it's worth taking a little risk.
He only said these three words, and did not explain the extra words.
"When are you leaving?" King Shengyou asked.
Xu Bai thought for a while, and said, "Let's go tonight, pack lightly."
The sooner the better, go early and come back early.
King Shengyou didn't say anything more. Now that Xu Bai had made up his mind, he didn't say anything more. He just reported it to the higher authorities.
Of course, all of this has to wait for Xu Bai to leave. If you tell your superiors now and wait for the notification from your superiors before letting Xu Bai go, Xu Bai probably won't be able to leave.
He knows his elder brother best. His elder brother protects Xu Bai like a treasure. If he really followed the rules, Xu Bai might not be able to leave at all.
Of course, it will definitely make his brother angry afterwards, and even yell at him, but these are not important anymore.
A real man should have his feet on the ground, his head in the sky, let his footprints spread all over the world, and let his reputation spread far and wide. This is what a man should do.
Hidden in one place every day, what kind of man can he be called?
Xu Bai left, and he walked very simply. Before leaving, he had already changed his appearance and body shape, and changed a piece of clothing.
He left quietly, and no one knew about it, but before leaving, King Shengyou specially arranged a place for him.
His current identity is no longer Xu Bai, but a merchant, who is responsible for all kinds of things from the Dayue Kingdom and the Great Chu Kingdom.
Even in times of war, these merchants still exist, so no one cares about them.
Xu Bai didn't bring a first-grade puppet with him. That thing is really an eyesore. Ordinary people can easily connect with him after taking a look at it.
As long as there are similarities with his previous identity, it will expose him to the possibility, so Xu Bai tries to avoid it as much as possible.
One horse, one person.
He is not playing the role of a master of transformation, so the horse must be brought.
Now this light-packed appearance gave him a sense of nostalgia, as if he had returned to the time when he was riding a horse.
He did not tell Chu Yu, after all, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better.
Riding on the horse and enjoying the bumps on the horse, Xu Bai went all the way, and finally came to a small town at the border.
Usually merchants would go from this place, so Xu Bai also went to Dayue Kingdom from this place.
The inspection is particularly strict, and the defense here is very thick. It can be said that this is the most stringent place in the entire border.
Xu Bai didn't bring anything this time, but a human skin and a book, both obtained from the ruins.
When he was inspected, he made up an excuse and covered up these two things.
I didn’t bring goods with me, but I brought a lot of money.
Xu Bai said that he went out to buy goods, not sell them, so this also makes sense.
Soon, he passed the inspection.
I have to say that there was one thing that played an important role during the inspection, and it was given to him by King Shengyou before leaving.
A pill.
This elixir can hide his strength for about ten days, even a brilliant master can't find it at all.
After ten days, the effect of the medicine will wear off, but it doesn't matter to Xu Bai.
At that time, it will be easy for him to find a random place and change his identity.
It is also a breeze to turn yourself into a person in the industry.
Soon, he passed the inspection, followed hundreds of people, and headed towards the country of Dayue.
These are all merchants, and they all went to Dai Viet to do business.
For things like this that involve crossing mountains and ridges, people of course like to stick together, and Xu Bai didn't want to show his abnormality, so he followed behind.
It is not the Yin post, but the official post. After all, these people are not people in the industry, they are just businessmen.
There were a lot of people, some merchants were carrying goods, carriages and the like, some were walking on foot, and some were riding horses, so the crowd was naturally divided into several parts due to speed.
Xu Bai was riding a horse, so he naturally walked with people who had horses and carriages.
Some of the carriages even hired some people in the industry as protection. Money is also a very important thing in this world, even people in the industry are not exempt.
Xu Bai rode on the horse and followed silently. In any case, the official post is much more open than the Yin post, which is a deserted place.
Some businessmen are familiar with each other because they often do business in this line of business, chatting in twos and threes.
Xu Bai didn't speak, his face was dark, of course, it's normal for a businessman to have some strange faces.
He doesn't speak, but it doesn't mean that no one talks to him. It is the nature of businessmen to seek profit. At this time, most of the people who go to Dai Viet are sellers, and few purchases.
Less means special, not to mention purchasing, there is no profit, why should you purchase?
So some sharp-eyed businessmen put their minds on these people who went to purchase, and found opportunities to chat with them, wanting to inquire about some business opportunities.
"Brother, I have been walking on this road for so long, but I have never seen you. It seems that this is the first time you are doing this business." A middle-aged businessman dressed in silk and satin, riding a horse, followed Xu Beside Bai.
Don't look at the big belly of this middle-aged businessman, but he is actually a superb equestrian.
There are risks in doing anything, and the risks in business are even greater. The simplest ones are those bandits who rob the road.
Sometimes in order to save life, this equestrian skill is necessary.
Xu Bai didn't want to talk to him, but due to his current status, he still agreed from time to time, but he kept silent when he wanted to mention some business opportunities.
There is a **** business opportunity, these people are so accurate, they just make it up by themselves, I am afraid there are loopholes, so I will not mention it.
It would be best not to bring it up at this time, after all, no one wants to let their profits slip away.
The middle-aged businessman's name is Qian Lai, a very vulgar name.
Seeing that Xu Fan didn't speak, he became interested and talked incessantly.
He even guaranteed that if Xu Bai could say it, they would cooperate in this line of business, and the profits would definitely be higher than they are now.
Believe anyone, don't believe the businessman's mouth, that mouth can tell all about the moon in the sky, Xu Bai just agreed, but didn't make any substantive progress.
Qian Lai was also puzzled. The young man in front of him didn't look very old, but he was extremely slick.
No matter how much he inquired, he couldn't find any news, but the more he did this, the more his interest was aroused.
It is the nature of a businessman to seek profit, and of course he will not let it go.
Qian Lai was still talking, so Xu Bai took it for fun, listening while driving the horse.
Not fast, but not slow either.
It was night when I left, and I walked a long distance at this time, and it was almost midnight.
The convoy in front gradually stopped, and Xu Bai also stopped.
There was no noise in my ears, and Qian had been talking for a long time, but seeing that Xu Bai still kept silent, he also stopped talking.
When Xu Bai saw the motorcade stop, he was in doubt, when he saw a woman get off from the most luxurious carriage.
The woman is wearing a green skirt, her hair is coiled up high and wrapped around a green hairpin, looking graceful and beautiful.
Xu Bai knew this woman, and had heard many people talk about it on the way here.
Zhong Ruqin, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family.
To say that this Zhong family is also a merchant who specializes in border crossings, but it is a wealthy family.
Even compared to some famous families in Jingzhou Prefecture, this money is not less.
But unfortunately, they are not in the industry, and their status will always be lower.
Zhong Ruqin is the eldest daughter of the Chong family. She was already married to a court official.
But I didn't expect that on the night of the wedding, the court official died before he had time to do the bridal chamber.
After Wu Zuo's inspection, it was discovered that the death was due to a rapid heartbeat. The specific situation was that when he took off the hijab, he saw Zhong Ruqin's face.
Since then, the family members of the official thought Zhong Ruqin was an ominous person and kicked her out.
When Zhong Ruqin returned home, she was also burdened with family responsibilities, but she didn't take it seriously.
Because she was married before, although she has never had intercourse, she still puts her hair up high.
After receiving various accusations at home, she started a peddling business.
Once, twice, three times or four times, it turned out to be very successful, turning all the previous accusations into clouds and smoke, and became the pillar of the family.
To be honest, in Xu Bai's eyes, this Zhong Ruqin is indeed beautiful.
Long black hair, almond eyes like water, Emei like clouds, mouth like cherry blossoms.
Just the rolling eyes can make people feel relaxed and happy, coupled with that mature temperament, it is even more addictive.
—Very moist, really moist.
Xu Bai took another look, took out the book from his pocket, and read it.
Since he stopped, he didn't ask, because he would get an answer soon, and as expected, Zhong Ruqin spoke slowly after getting down.
Her voice is very small, very gentle, with a mature charm in my ears.
Once it is far away, no one will hear it, but Xu Bai's strength can be heard clearly.
"It's getting too late, even walking on the official road is dangerous. When I used to walk in the business, there was a dilapidated courtyard in front of me, which was just a place to rest. Tell everyone, let everyone follow."
Zhong Ruqin was talking to a warrior next to her. This warrior was hired by her, and she also hired a lot to protect this journey of business.
Wu Fu nodded, and after saluting with fists clasped, he opened his mouth slowly and said the words again.
When the person in the row spoke, the natural sound spread far away, and everyone heard it.
None of the people present refused. After all, they are ordinary people, and safety is the top priority.
Xu Bai felt that he couldn't act weird, so he followed behind.
The convoy started slowly again, walking on the dark road, with the moonlight shining down, acting as the only illumination.
After walking for about half an hour, a dilapidated courtyard appeared in front of them.
The yard is really dilapidated. From the outside, it feels like it has been abandoned for many years. Under the moonlight, even the gate is only half left.
Zhong Ruqin has been sitting in the carriage, leading the way, and when it reaches the destination, the carriage stops.
A boy was holding a round stool and placed it underneath. Zhong Ruqin supported the edge of the carriage, carefully stepped on the stool, and walked down.
The soft and waxy voice reappeared.
"This is where the little girl has settled many times, so she can spend the night without being threatened by wolves, tigers and leopards."
Everyone nodded. It would be nice to have a place to live in this barren mountain. Although there are too many people to live in, at least it is not in the woods.
Then everyone walked in, huddled together in twos and threes, and lit piles of bonfires.
The yard is not big, too many people.
Guards, grooms, and even those invited in the industry will stay outside, guarding the goods, or doing other things.
Xu Bai also walked in, found a corner and sat down by himself, and did not get together with other people.
Qian Lai came together again: "Little brother, why don't you find a room."
The yard is still quite empty, with no roof tiles. If you enter the room, at least you can feel some warmth.
Xu Bai shook his head, politely declined, and his eyes shifted to Zhong Ruqin.
Zhong Ruqin wore an emerald green cloak, which tightly wrapped her uneven figure, but she could see the arc of her waist and back as she walked.
She didn't join these people, but walked into the largest room.
The people present did not say anything, after all, they were brought here, and as far as who is rich, the Zhong family is indeed rich, no one will offend, after all, there is no interest to offend.
Qian Lai also noticed Xu Bai's gaze, mistook it for some dirty thoughts, and couldn't help laughing: "Based on the appearance of the little brother, if he can enter the Zhong family, he can marry a widow, and he can go smoothly."
Xu Bai said: "You think too much."
Four simple words, he stopped talking again.
It was boring to beg for money, so he didn't say any more. He returned to his position, leaned against the wall, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Xu Bai didn't sleep, took out the book he got from the trevally, and read it slowly.
He couldn't understand the text on the book. It was the text in the ruins, but it didn't hinder the growth of the progress bar.
The progress bar is growing slowly, the moonlight is getting brighter, but the darkness is getting thicker.
In the largest room, the door was tightly closed, and dim lights were lit.
Under the light of the lamp, there was a shadow on the window of the door.
I went to the hospital today to have my ears checked. After getting sunburn, my ears felt like they were stuffed with cotton.
