Chapter 208 Shadow Moon, Exploration (8000)
In this world, there are very few people who can make Xu Bai lose control of his expression, and he can count them on one hand.
But the person in front of him really made him almost unstoppable. Fortunately, his acting skills are superb, and after a brief absence, he quickly returned to normal and continued to play his role.
A woman in a Taoist robe walked in slowly, with a crooked bun on her head, looking messy.
But the Taoist robe was worn on this woman, but it was uneven, and it looked exquisite, revealing that beautiful figure to the fullest.
Although the expression on that face was plain, it was this dusty and plain temperament that added a sense of nobility to the originally intoxicating appearance.
Taoist robes, and the iconic crooked bun, this person's identity is self-evident.
—female viewer, jade face.
Xu Bai couldn't figure out why he saw her in this place. According to common sense, now that he has come to the country of Dayue, it is almost impossible to see her here. Is this a coincidence?
"Could it be that this king is too handsome, so I followed him all the way, no, this king is using a different appearance now."
While Xu Bai was thinking in his mind, the hostess had already walked in from the outside, and every step was steady, but it was forced by her to walk out of a temperament that turned all living beings upside down.
The little waist is so twisted that people can't wait to put their eyes in it.
But she didn't twist her waist on purpose, she just swayed gently as she walked, and it was even more difficult to look away than those women who twisted their waists deliberately.
Combined with the Taoist robe, Xu Bai suddenly felt an extremely weird feeling.
That's right, uniforms!
He quickly thought of some crooked things, and only then did he feel that men not only love Hirsch, but also some specific clothes.
If the female viewer wears other clothes, people may not be able to look away, but it does not have the attractive feeling now.
Xu Bai is a master among them. He and Ye Zi have tried all kinds of methods, and they are already veterans, so they just took a look and turned around quickly.
Pretended to take a sip of the tea on the table, but muttered in his heart.
"Big... Bah! No, why did I meet her here? She probably doesn't know my identity, I have to pretend, and don't expose me." Xu Bai stabilized, and said secretly in his heart.
But the next sentence, he really couldn't hold back.
The hostess moved lightly with lotus steps, walked up to Xu Bai, fixed her eyes on Xu Bai's face, and suddenly said something very narcissistic.
"Seeing the stunning beauty, you should still take a second look, otherwise you will not pretend to be your current identity."
Xu Bai: "???"
what's the situation?
The most important point is not that the female viewer admits that she is stunning, but the content of these words.
The female viewer actually knows her identity?
No way, I should pretend to be pretty good, even if I lost control just now, but I can't guess my real identity all at once, right?
The female viewer raised her hand and pointed to her left chest: "When you handed over your ability to me, there was a feeling between us, so in front of me, no matter how you disguise yourself, you can be the first Time to find you."
Xu Bai: "~(￣▽￣～)~"
Well, although I don’t know the specific principle, in this fantasy world, no principle can be explained by science.
Now that the hostess dares to come to him alone, it must be safe, so Xu Bai just looked at the hostess.
The hostess raises her hand slightly, which means to let him look at her face instead of other places: "I am much older than you, and I can be regarded as your senior. Your gaze should be a little more stable."
Xu Bai then looked away and said, "This is innate."
The female viewer frowned.
"Men like round things, even if you put two **** on the table, I will watch them for a while." Xu Bai said in a serious manner, as if his gaze just now was very normal.
This time, it was the female viewer's turn to be speechless.
This person has become more and more shameless.
I remember that when we met the first few times, we got along very happily.
Of course, Xu Bai didn't let the hostess say the rest, and took the initiative: "You didn't talk so much before, and your personality seems to have changed."
Changing from passive to active is what a master does.
What he said just now, he was indeed right. The female viewer was considered to be vigorous and resolute in the past, but she would not discuss such a trivial matter with herself for so long.
The female viewer fell silent, and after a while, she said, "Something went wrong."
"Isn't it just a glitch?" Xu Bairao said with interest, and there was something in his words.
The hostess did not shy away, and spread her hands: "Originally we were very different, each of us came out for a while, and let the other take control of the body, but recently we have become more and more harmonious, to be precise, it is not harmony, but integration, this kind of The state also lasted longer and longer.”
Fusion?
Xu Bai was slightly taken aback.
Of course he knows what "we" means, referring to the two consciousnesses of the female viewer, one insane and the other normal.
But now there is a trend of integration, what does this represent?
Xu Bai didn't know. According to his character, he would ask questions about things he didn't know, so he didn't hesitate to ask why he didn't know.
"A good or a bad?"
"There are good and bad." The female viewer said: "I am still me, but I am no longer the original me. The time I can be awake will be extended indefinitely. After complete fusion, I will no longer be crazy, but my Personalities change."
"It's as if I was a newborn baby, but as I come into contact with different people and things, my personality will gradually change, so I am still me, there is no doubt about it."
"But the only downside is that my personality has changed."
Xu Bai stood up silently, then took two steps back silently: "What change?"
He understands that there are good and bad changes in personality. For example, people who have lived in a kind family since they were young will become kind when they grow up.
But living in a harsh environment since childhood, it is the same after growing up.
So Xu Bai couldn't figure out whether the female viewer was good or bad, he had to pay attention now.
"If I had a bad personality, you wouldn't have a chance to talk to me now." The hostess said, "I feel like I've become more human."
"You know, cultivators of my lineage are all about wanting nothing, but now, I'm actually angry because of a look in your eyes, I don't understand."
While shaking her head, the female viewer showed distressed expression, which was never seen before.
Xu Bai sat back in his seat and continued to drink tea calmly.
"Not afraid anymore?" The hostess smiled, "Is it because I explained it well?"
Xu Bai waved his sleeves: "How can I be the kind of person who covets life and fears death?"
Female viewer: "..."
I have seen thick-skinned people before, but I have never seen such thick-skinned people. It is obvious that I have explained it clearly before letting go of my vigilance, but I have to find an excuse for myself.
"Let's get down to business." The hostess took a deep breath, her chest rose and fell slowly, "I came here because someone asked me to give you something."
While speaking, the hostess took out a kit from her chest and handed it to Xu Bai.
Feeling the warmth of the kit, Xu Bai was about to open it, but was stopped by the hostess.
"Unless your life is in danger in a real crisis, don't open it at ordinary times." The female viewer prevented it.
Looking at this expression, it is very serious, Xu Bai is thoughtful.
"Who asked you to give me this thing?"
The words just now have already made it clear.
This thing does not belong to the female viewer, but she was entrusted by someone, so she brought it back and handed it to Xu Bai.
But Xu Bai has to figure out who it is, otherwise he won't be able to do it if he accepts a tip out of nowhere.
"Mr. Mu." The hostess said leisurely: "I owed him a favor in the early years, so I repaid the favor this time. He promised Eunuch Wei that he would keep you safe, so I gave you this kit .”
Hearing this, Xu Bai silently put the kit into his arms, nodded, indicating that he understood.
The hostess is also very clear, knowing that Xu Bai is such a person, when things come from the right way, he will not refuse.
Of course I accept it.
Xu Bai feels that there is only one thing in a person's life that makes him the happiest.
—whoring for nothing.
When a person prostitutes for nothing, he will have a knowing smile on his face. This kind of happiness is unmatched by any other method.
This is the reason of Eunuch Wei, that's why Director Mu asked the hostess to bring it here. For Eunuch Wei, Xu Bai is absolutely at ease, so he accepts it with peace of mind.
Seeing this situation, the female viewer's thin red lips twitched slightly: "If I didn't know your origin, I would have believed some rumors in the world."
"What?" Xu Bai had just put away the kit when he heard the female priest say this, and his interest came instantly.
The hostess coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment: "There are legends in the world that you are the illegitimate son of Eunuch Wei in his early years. After all, you are a powerful and old man in the industry, and you still look young, so people in the world still speculate about your identity." Definitely very old."
Xu Bai has black lines all over his head.
He felt that this matter could not be discussed any longer. It hadn't been long since the discussion, and somehow, he gave himself another identity.
To be honest, he really wants to know who the source of this rumor is.
For example, the blood-headed swordsman, if he finds it, he will have to skin that person.
The hostess wanted to say something, but suddenly her expression changed, and she quickly disappeared.
Xu Bai is also a master. Of course, he knows why the female viewer disappeared. The reason is very simple. The middle-aged man in charge of delivering the news has come.
The middle-aged man walked in from the door, seeing Xu Bai still sitting in his original position, he quickly took two steps forward and said, "My lord, the news has been spread, just wait for three to five days, and the higher-ups will send someone to come. At that time, my lord will be promoted, and I will go directly to Kyoto."
Capital is the highest level of the Great Viet Kingdom, commonly known as Kyoto, which corresponds to the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom.
As a member of the dark building who can obtain first-class information, he will naturally go there. Of course, the premise is that he must wait for the person above to come down and confirm it.
Xu Bai stared at his nose, nose and heart, looking like an old god: "Do you know who is here?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "How can those of us who work at the bottom know the things above, but don't worry, my lord, even if the news is false, the above will not blame you."
Walking on this official road, one must pay attention to some of the above principles.
For example, no matter whether the person in front of him can be promoted or not, he at least has a chance, so the middle-aged man is very respectful.
Xu Bai didn't continue talking, and walked out.
There is nothing to ask now, and he left directly, which also coincides with some manifestations of his current identity.
The middle-aged man followed behind, and didn't watch Xu Bai leave until he was delivered to the door, and returned to his original position.
…
Leaving the coffin shop, Xu Bai returned to the pharmacy. After cleaning up the corpses on the ground, he sat on a chair, took out the human skin, and prepared to continue the liver progress bar.
As for the sachet, he didn't open it now. After all, he would only open it in times of crisis, so he kept it in the closest place and kept it carefully.
The human skin was spread out by him, and the blood on it had already been cleaned up.
Xu Bai glanced calmly. Although he couldn't understand the words on it, as he stared carefully, the progress bar was slowly increasing.
This thing belongs to the corpse collector. He doesn't know the characteristics of this profession. After all, there are so many professions in this world, how can he understand them all.
But this does not prevent him from moving the progress bar.
Seeing the golden progress bar grow slowly, Xu Bai felt elated.
If he could find an elegant place, he would sit on a chair with a mountain of progress bars behind him, and he felt that he could keep going all day long.
Plus Ye Zi, during the rest time of the liver progress bar, studying other postures with Ye Zi, that is life.
Running around like now, although life has become very fulfilling, it is not flavorful enough.
Of course, if a person wants to achieve freedom in life, he must first be strong enough. When you have not reached this level, you must make your life full to be energetic.
"Boom boom boom."
I thought that the next step would be to walk through the liver progress bar, but what I didn't expect was that before he could look at it for a while, there was a sound of footsteps.
Xu Bai cast his eyes on the source of the footsteps, and saw the shadow in the corner, and Yingyue came out from it.
There is a faint smell of blood in his nose, and there are too many human lives in his hands, so he still has the ability to distinguish.
"Killed someone?" Xu Fan turned his eyes back to the human skin and said calmly.
"Pfft!" Yingyue didn't answer, opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood, wiped off the blood at the corner of her mouth, her eyes were slightly dim.
She took out some snacks from the small bag, stuffed them into her mouth indiscriminately, chewed them together with the blood, and swallowed them, but said nothing.
"Boom boom boom!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Yingyue's complexion changed, and she quickly wiped off the blood on the ground. Then, she came behind Xu Bai and hid in the shadow behind Xu Bai.
The sound of knocking on the door was like a storm. After the two met, they didn't say a word, but Xu Bai figured out Yingyue's state.
This woman caused trouble outside and seemed to be injured, but she ran to her immediately, she should think that her place is safe,
Now that she is a member of the dark building, this woman probably wants to use her current status to avoid this disaster.
Thinking of this, he temporarily remembered that the two were on the same boat, so Xu Bai stood up and opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, he saw a group of soldiers standing outside.
—a person in the army.
Xu Bai knew the identity of the person in front of him just by looking at it at first glance.
The reason is also very simple. When the ruins were opened, the three forces all brought their own troops. This general was with Bai Chong, the God of the Dayue Army.
"Did you see a woman passing by here?" The general was middle-aged, but he looked extremely arrogant, squinting at Xu Bai, as if he looked down on him.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."
"Go." The general turned around and walked towards another place.
The rest of the soldiers followed and left soon.
Xu Bai watched the pair leave, thinking secretly.
"This person should know that I am now a member of the dark building, so I don't plan to say more."
"It seems that here, these frontier generals look down on the members of the dark building."
"But at least it's a dark building, and it won't lie, so the general didn't care about it, and believed it."
Simple and simple, Xu Bai analyzed the reason. After closing the door, he turned his head and looked at the shadow behind him.
The shadow flowed for a while, and then Shadow Moon walked out from inside.
As soon as she came out, she supported the table and sat in Xu Bai's original position, her face pale as paper.
Yingyue still didn't say a word, she grabbed another handful of snacks and put them in her mouth, her eyes were not only gloomy, but also sad.
"What happened?" Xu Bai asked.
Yingyue stopped what she was doing, her gloomy eyes rested on Xu Bai's face, then she lowered her head again without saying a word.
"If you don't say anything, then don't come to my place next time, or I will beat you to death before those people." Xu Bai said.
We are all on the same boat. If there is something that is still hidden, then there is no meaning of cooperation.
Yingyue hesitated for a moment, still lowered her head, but parted her red lips lightly, and spoke hoarsely.
"Heh, this group of soldiers captured some people from the Great Chu Kingdom from a small village on the border."
“Original things like this, either kill, or torture to ask questions.”
"Border customs, everyone does it this way, but this group of beasts actually stripped those women and threw them on the street for beggars to share..."
At this point, Yingyue couldn't continue talking, but it was obvious that she told her reason.
Xu Bai said: "You are from the country of Dayue."
"That's right." Yingyue raised her head and stared at Xu Bai stubbornly: "But these unconscionable things have nothing to do with national borders."
"Has it been exposed?" Xu Bai asked.
Yingyue shook her head and said, "I've been covering myself with shadows, so I haven't been exposed, but I missed, those women have already..."
Speaking of this, Shadow Moon couldn't continue talking again.
Xu Bai fell into silence.
He didn't know how to respond.
It is easy to kill a person, and it is also easy to humiliate a person.
But that is all purposeful, or for intelligence, or for the desired news.
After all, it is a struggle between two forces. There is nothing wrong with these, but some things have been done a little too much.
Stripped the woman naked and threw her into a heap of beggars.
What is the purpose of this kind of thing?
It is nothing more than to satisfy my perverted psychology.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai's ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of wheels rolling outside.
He came to the window, saw the street outside through the window, and then his pupils shrank slightly.
Outside, on the street, both sides are full of people, but in the middle of the street, carts are being pushed by soldiers, passing by here.
There were corpses on the cart. They were naked, and they suffered great fear before they died, with their eyes widened.
There are horrible scars and stains on each corpse. These scars and stains are messy and dense, and they don't seem to come from the same person.
Some of the surrounding people covered their eyes, while others swept their greedy eyes over the corpses.
Due to the rolling of the cart, the corpses piled up on it swayed, and a girl's corpse slipped from above.
The soldier stopped, as if throwing a broken sack, grabbed the leg of the female corpse, and threw it onto the cart.
The trolley team quickly walked into the distance and disappeared.
Yingyue stood beside Xu Bai, her fists were clenched tightly, and there was anger in her eyes.
"It's always been like this?" Xu Bai said calmly.
Yingyue was taken aback for a moment, and then said through her teeth: "Of the three forces, only the Great Chu Kingdom is relatively normal."
"The barbarians never farm, they just herd, but some of the pasture they herd are people."
"When they can't get enough food, they will feed on humans, commonly known as human sheep."
"Da Viet is cruel and violent to the outside world. They like to make fun of outsiders. They just have fun, but there are many ways to make fun."
“I once heard that they cut off the tendons of people’s hands and feet, cut them all over with thin wounds, and then sprinkled honey on them to attract ants to eat them.”
…
Every time she said a word, Yingyue clenched her fists tighter.
Xu Bai glanced at Yingyue: "Have you ever thought that if you die there after doing it today, wouldn't it be worthwhile?"
Yingyue shook her head: "I won't die there, because I have the certainty of escape. I just wanted to kill those people today. I was injured. You are near here, so I ran here. Even if you don't help me, I can dodge it too."
Xu Bai didn't continue talking, he didn't want to discuss this issue.
Looking at the numb people on the street outside, the corpse that was pushed by the cart just now flashed in his mind, and he suddenly said something.
"How many soldiers are here?"
Yingyue was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Most of them are at the border. This is close to the border, but because of the defense of the border, there are only a hundred or so people."
Xu Bai said lightly: "Yes."
"What exactly do you want to ask?" Shadow Moon asked.
"It's nothing, who is the strongest here?" Xu Bai said.
Yingyue thought for a while, and said: "The city lord is the strongest, that general, and the person you are playing now are also the strongest."
"Because it is close to the border, you can quickly return to help if something goes wrong, so there are not many defenses here. What do you want to do?"
She asked what was in her heart again, because she felt more and more something was wrong.
Xu Bai turned his head: "Photo studios have always targeted dark buildings, but not people outside of dark buildings. Is it because they are all from the country of Dai Viet?"
Yingyue nodded and said: "Because the studio wants to take over the dark building, if these things are caused before then, it may be very troublesome, so I won't take care of it."
"What's more, the so-called supervisory officials dare not supervise these generals. What's more, these generals have done nothing wrong."
"Didn't you do anything wrong?" Xu Bai looked at Yingyue and said, "Okay, there's nothing else for you, you can go now."
Yingyue couldn't figure it out, she didn't know what Xu Bai wanted to do, she really wanted to keep asking, but Xu Bai didn't want to say any more, obviously he wasn't going to tell her.
So, she didn't plan to stay here any longer, for fear of causing other troubles, she turned around and left.
After leaving, Shadow Moon detoured many streets and was about to go farther and farther.
Unexpectedly, at the end of a street, I met a woman in a Taoist robe.
"Your father asked me to bring you a message." The female viewer's tone was indifferent, which was very different from when she met Xu Bai.
After saying this, the female audience member made a gesture that only Shadow Moon could understand.
Yingyue was obviously stunned at first, but quickly realized, and asked solemnly: "What are you talking about?"
This gesture is a contact gesture, which is very complicated. If you make it, it means that the person in front of you is trustworthy.
"This trip is close to death, be prepared to die." The female priest continued.
After hearing this, Yingyue's expression darkened, but she quickly returned to normal. She put her hand on her left chest and pressed her fist: "Jian Tiansi Anzi, Yingyue, prepare to die."
The female viewer nodded. She was only entrusted to say this, so she didn't plan to stay for a long time, but before she left, she suddenly stopped and turned around.
"Don't test that person anymore. He doesn't know that you are from the Great Chu State, but you know that he is from the Great Chu State. Do you understand what it means?"
Yingyue fell silent, and after a while, said: "I really didn't mean to test him today, it's really because I couldn't hold back my hand."
The hostess smiled and said: "But you ran to him in the end, you can disappear early, you are testing him."
Yingyue whispered: "I just don't understand why he doesn't let him know my identity. If he knows my identity, we will cooperate more perfectly like this, instead of me continuing to pretend."
The female viewer pondered: "Using your father's words, this is the only way to act like it."
"What's more, to let him know that you are a shadow, he is likely to play some special operations."
Yingyue was very surprised. Hearing this, it seemed that there was something hidden.
Play some special operations?
It's not like what her father said.
"Who the **** is he?" Yingyue couldn't help asking curiously.
Now she only knows that Xu Bai is sent by the Great Chu State, and she wants to cooperate with Xu Bai to accomplish a world-shattering event, but she doesn't know who Xu Bai is.
The hostess shook her head and said, "Director Mu once said that you don't need to know about this matter."
After finishing speaking, the hostess turned around and left the place.
Before turning around, a sentence skipped in her mind.
"Xu Bai's operation, who knows what it is, may cause subversive things in the next moment, so it's better to keep it secret."
Of course, she just complained in her heart, and didn't care about the rest. After all, this trip was just entrusted by others.
The hostess walked very quickly and hurriedly, and in an instant, only Yingyue was left on this street.
Yingyue lowered her head and lowered her eyes, looking at the clean ground.
"Who the **** is he?"
"Why did father let him come to Dai Viet to take on such a heavy responsibility?"
"No, the injury is a bit serious, I have to find a place to rest and recuperate."
"Damn the animals of the Great Viet Kingdom, they did such atrocities to those weak women!"
Holding her hands tightly into fists, her white fists trembling slightly, Yingyue stood where she was for nearly half a stick of incense before she stabilized her emotions and left the street.
…
Time gradually passed, and in a blink of an eye, the moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight sprinkled silver light, and it was deserted.
Under the moonlight, Dayue Kingdom fell into the Fengcheng military camp.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound coming from the barracks.
Zhu Shan is the general of this barracks, and he is also the leader who went to search for Xu Bai today.
He was in a bad mood all day, because he was almost stabbed to death when he sent those untouchables to the beggar's pile and was about to enjoy the screams of those untouchables.
In the stately country of Great Vietnam, someone attacked the army. He planned to send the information to the border gate tomorrow morning and conduct a thorough search.
Fortunately, he didn't make any mistakes. After the assassin left, he gave those beggars a taste of women.
He also enjoyed the screams of those women, and the depression in his heart was swept away.
"My lord, the bonfire party is ready, please hurry over."
A young soldier hurried over with a flattering smile on his face.
Zhu Shan heard this, drank the wine in the glass, got up and waved: "Let's go!"
The soldiers led the way in front, and Zhu Shan followed behind. The two, one in front of the other, quickly left the tent and came to the open space outside.
The open space is very large, except for the soldiers who opened the city, there are basically dozens of them here.
In the middle of the open space, there is a pile of blazing bonfires. The flames are blowing in the wind and reverberating in the sky.
Every soldier's face was full of excitement, and their eyes were cast ahead.
Not far ahead, a group of scantily clad women are huddling together, hugging each other, to resist the fear in their hearts.
But their trembling shoulders and pale faces showed that none of this was going to work.
"My lord, we are just civilians at the border, please spare us."
A young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with tears on her face, cried and begged for mercy in a hoarse voice.
"Oh?" Zhu Shan showed a fierce expression on his face when he heard this sentence: "Didn't the untouchables of the Great Chu Kingdom be killed by us? If you want us to spare you, that's fine."
He turned his head and gave instructions to a soldier.
"Come on, bring the things out!"
