Chapter 219 Emperor Chu: I pamper you once (8000)
The night is very dark, the moonlight is shining from the sky, only Xu Bai and Yin Yue are here.
When Yingyue was next to Xu Bai's ear, after saying everything she had said, she left here.
Xu Bai didn't make any movement, just stood there, his face was uncertain, and he was still thinking about what Yingyue said just now.
"My father said that Eunuch Wei will die soon, and he will take advantage of the time when the army enters the barbarians to go to Dayue and fight the emperor of Dayue."
"He asked me to tell you that you can go to the Zhaixing Building to find him. Don't tell anyone about this."
"At that time, he will tell you the secrets of Sansheng Mountain."
These are what Yingyue said to him. After Xu Bai listened to it, he didn't know what it was like.
The secret of Sansheng Mountain is important. After he came back, due to a series of things, he forgot it, but the most important thing is that he heard the news that Wei Gonggong was about to die.
"Death..." Xu Bai's lips moved slightly, repeating these two words, then he turned around and returned to his temporary residence.
In the room, Ye Zi was making the bed.
Xu Bai didn't have time to say more, he just said that he might not come back tonight and asked her to go to Tianyin Teacher.
Ye Zi was a little disappointed, but remembered that his son had important things to do, and he was not sticky, so he nodded slightly and agreed.
Xu Bai left the room, left the palace, and went directly to the Zhaixing Building.
Because it was already night, there was no one else on the street, and Xu Bai's footsteps were a little heavy.
He might not want to take care of other things, but he really wants to take care of this matter.
Other people's affairs are different from those of Eunuch Wei. Since he entered the capital, Eunuch Wei has treated him very well.
If this matter is ignored and Eunuch Wei is allowed to die, then Xu Bai may have a knot in his heart forever.
If you want to take care of it, how to proceed is an important issue. It is impossible to go to the emperor's imperial study to make a big fuss, which is not appropriate.
The news that Yingyue conveyed just now was said by Director Mu. From this point of view, Director Mu should have a way, otherwise it would be impossible for him to go there.
Walking on the dark street, Xu Bai took out the beads given by Eunuch Wei from his arms.
This bead is held in the hand, the supreme treasure of the ninth rank of extraordinary, but now it is so heavy.
"No wonder Eunuch Wei told me so, and even gave me a treasure, which turned out to be his last words before he died."
Xu Bai didn't know that such a big event would happen, so he didn't pay attention to it. He only gave himself the treasure when Eunuch Wei was kind to him.
After all, in this world, who can kill Eunuch Wei?
Thinking about it now, everything was so strange that Xu Bai felt a little sad.
Perhaps Eunuch Wei is willing. After all, he has dedicated his whole life to the Great Chu, but if it can be saved, Xu Bai will definitely take action.
"I hope you can give me a way."
Standing at the door of the Zhaixing Building, Xu Bai stepped into it, and smoothly followed the stairs to the ninth floor.
The lights on the ninth floor were brightly lit. Mr. Mu was sitting on a chair with two cups of tea in front of him.
"sit down."
With his strength, he naturally saw Xu Bai coming, so he didn't say much, he just raised his hand and signaled Xu Bai to sit down.
Xu Bai sat down, looked at the steaming tea, without beating around the bush: "How can I save him?"
It has come to this time now, beating around the bush is meaningless at all, it is better to speak directly.
President Mu's eyes were like vast stars, staring closely at Xu Bai's eyes: "Before talking about this, let's talk about the things in the ruins."
"Don't worry, I have blocked the surroundings, no one can find out, no one can hear."
Xu Bai frowned and didn't speak, waiting for Director Mu's next sentence.
"This is all the speculation in the ruins. I took it first and read it carefully." Director Mu handed over a piece of paper with densely packed small characters on it.
"This is what I concluded, but it's just someone else's guess. It may not be accurate. After all, it's just a guess."
Xu Bai received it in his hand and began to read it carefully.
The oil lamp on the table swayed slightly, and the light and shadow shone on Xu Bai's face, flickering from time to time.
After half a stick of incense, Xu Bai put down the paper in his hand, and said, "No roots and no flowers, it's just that crazy old man's guess, let's just treat it as a guess."
What is written above, the crazy old man believes that there are defects in this world, which leads to the depletion of resources.
To solve the problem of resource depletion, one way is to erase all the people in the industry and make everyone a normal person, so that the cycle can be reversed.
After Xu Bai finished reading it, he felt that it was just the speculation of the crazy old man.
Just like now, the Emperor Chu and the others all believe that as long as they rule the world and take down the treacherous city, the problem of resource depletion will not exist.
But no one knows whether it is true.
So it’s just a guess. Xu Bai just needs to know about it. What he wants to know more now is about Eunuch Wei.
"I know what you're thinking." Director Mu put down his teacup and sighed: "It's very difficult to save him."
Xu Bai narrowed his eyes: "When I came here, I thought of a way. I guessed what His Majesty was thinking. As long as the Great Yue Kingdom does not help, it will be fine, and then there is no need to die."
"Let Eunuch Wei go to the border, stand there, and let the emperor of Dayue Kingdom see, let the emperor of Dayue Kingdom know what Eunuch Wei wants to do, and he will not send troops."
As the so-called subduing the enemy without fighting, Xu Bai believes that his method is the best, and there is no need for Eunuch Wei to fight life and death.
"This method is indeed good, but His Majesty must have thought of it. This conflicts with His Majesty's ideas." Director Mu shook his head.
"Have you ever thought about what His Majesty's real intentions are?"
Xu Bai frowned again, and slowly spun the teacup in his hand, making an ear-piercing sound.
After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes became extremely complicated.
"Unify the world."
If Emperor Chu had any unfulfilled wish, it must be this.
"Do you understand?" Director Mu asked.
Xu Bai nodded: "Your Majesty intends to swallow all the two forces in one go."
He figured it out, if it was true as he guessed just now, Eunuch Wei would definitely die this trip.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Great Viet Kingdom has fallen apart, attacking the barbarians is the best choice.
Make a very simple assumption.
If this trip is successful and the barbarians are successfully taken down, but the Great Chu Kingdom will also suffer losses, can the remaining troops attack Dayue Kingdom?
Even if the country of Dayue is already in chaos, can it really be taken down easily?
the answer is negative.
The reason is also very simple, the chaos is not thorough enough.
How can we completely mess up? It's also very simple. As long as the emperor of Dayue Kingdom dies, there will be a real chaos. Only by taking advantage of this chaos to attack can we be sure.
First remove the shadow building, making Dayue lose a pair of eyes and creating opportunities for Eunuch Wei.
After killing the emperor, the remaining military **** Bai Zhong and prime minister Liu Yue will inevitably split because of this.
And that time is the best time.
So, this is the necessary reason for Eunuch Wei’s trip.
If it was just a simple deterrence, the Great Viet Kingdom would have to shrink back and not go out, and let the Great Chu Kingdom wipe out the barbarians.
But it is simply impossible to destroy the country of Dayue in one go.
That takes time, and time is the easiest time for change, because no one knows what will happen in the future.
"Phew..." Xu Bai took a deep breath and let it out slowly, with a bitter expression on his face: "So there is really no other way."
If such a plan is really the case, there is no way around it.
But he still has some expectations in his heart, because there must be a way for Director Mu to call him over today.
"Are you willing to take risks?" Director Mu suddenly said, "Adventures for Eunuch Wei, and the risks I'm talking about are no less than when you went to Dayue Kingdom before."
Xu Bai was silent.
Director Mu didn't speak, he was waiting, waiting for Xu Bai's reply.
Time passed gradually. Although this time was still a normal transition, Xu Bai felt that it was very slow.
Looking at the dancing oil lamp flame in front of him, he raised his head: "Yes."
He also thought about it just now, whether to go or not, this is a very serious question, but after thinking about it, he decided to go.
No other reason, Eunuch Wei treats him like this, if he doesn't go, heh...
Let's not talk about anything else, he doesn't even look down on himself.
People should have principles in their life. If others treat you well enough, but you treat them with cold eyes, wouldn’t you be worse than a pig or a dog?
"Good!" Director Mu praised: "As expected of the person that Eunuch Wei admires, this courage is indeed worthy of Eunuch Wei's help to you."
"What should I do?" Xu Bai asked.
Now that you have agreed, let's see how to deal with it later.
President Mu said: "First of all, we have to understand one thing. No one in this world can save Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei will definitely die this time."
"But if you can find someone to go instead of Eunuch Wei, then... you can bring the dead back to life."
Replacing Eunuch Wei?
Xu Bai was slightly taken aback.
He thought carefully about what Director Mu said, and then shook his head.
"In this world, there are nine masters who have become sages, and their strength is not equal. If they fight their lives, they can all die together, but they all belong to three countries. It is impossible to ask others to go."
Director Mu nodded and said: "Other people can't count on it, but in the Great Chu Kingdom, if His Majesty goes to the Great Chu Kingdom, there will be chaos first, and if I go, Jian Tiansi will be the same as the former dark building. Once there, the border is as thin as paper."
Xu Bai finally picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Mr. Mu continued: "But it doesn't exist in this world, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist in other places. You know what I'm talking about."
Xu Bai put down his teacup: "Crafting the city."
In this world, there is no other place except the deceitful city. It is impossible for people in the ruins to come out, and there are all thoughts of gods inside.
Listening to Mr. Mu's intentions, let yourself enter the city of deception, maybe you can still get out the strangeness inside.
Let's not talk about success or not, even if it is done, it is just a thing without soul, only instinct.
A weirdness that only has instinct, but will have a huge disaster.
You can’t control it even if you take it, what’s the use of something you can’t control?
"Ahem." Director Mu coughed softly.
Xu Bai immediately cast a strange look over him.
He has reached this level of strength, how can he still cough?
Started to pretend to be aggressive again.
Sure enough, after coughing, Director Mu spoke slowly in a slow and stylish voice.
"Speaking of this matter, it is also related to that Xietong knife."
"At the beginning, I saw the casting process of the Xietong knife, that is to say, I saw the past and knew something in the past."
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and was about to pull out the evil pupil from his waist, but then he thought that there was no need to pull it out, so he pointed to the handle of the knife: "You can't plan this thing into it, right?"
To tell the truth, he is indeed somewhat afraid of this Director Mu.
This person is too deep, and he brought down the shadow studio.
"Of course not, don't accuse good people." Director Mu waved his hand and said, "Giving this knife to you really has nothing to do with my calculations, but I will ask you to help, which is part of my calculations."
"I know that after the shadow building collapsed, the country of Dayue will be in chaos. At that time, His Majesty will definitely send troops to the barbarians, and this time is also the time of Eunuch Wei's death."
"Back then, everyone was fighting in a **** storm. Your Majesty has his opinions. I know this is inevitable, but I want to save him."
Speaking of this, Director Mu seemed a little depressed, and raised his teacup to take a sip.
After taking a sip, he felt that it was not enough, so he got up and took a jar of wine from the shelf next to him, and took a long gulp.
"Hey, speaking of it, His Majesty was the one who valued the most affection at the beginning, but now he has become the most unfeeling one." Director Mu said bitterly: "Although we all know his difficulties, we also know that it is painful for him to make this decision. ,but…"
He didn't say the rest, and took another big sip of wine.
"Alcohol is better, in order not to become addicted, I haven't drank it for many years."
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't care much about this, I just want to know how to save Eunuch Wei. What have you seen in the past?"
He didn't want to know about these things, and he didn't want to care about them. Since he came here today to solve the matter of Eunuch Wei, he came here purely for this matter.
"I saw the casting process of this knife. The one who forged this knife was a Ninth-Rank Saint." Director Mu said slowly.
"I told you before that this knife is forged from countless monster corpses, but it lacks one of the most important things, so it can only reach the first rank of sainthood, not the ninth rank."
"What is it?" Xu Bai asked.
Director Mu raised a finger: "A demon heart, a demon heart at the pinnacle of holiness."
"At the beginning, when the swordsmith who forged the knife was looking for the demon heart, he met the monster clan who had reached the peak of holiness. Entered the ghost city."
"Even if it is an existence at the level of a saint, if it enters the tricky market, it will only end up with no soul."
"The swordsmith dare not chase after him, so he became the only regret of this sword."
Xu Bai fell into deep thought, and he slowly went over what President Mu said.
Director Mu saw that Xu Bai was thinking, but he didn't interrupt, and took another sip of wine.
Xu Bai recovered from his contemplation: "You want me to find that demon heart?"
"Even if Yaoxin entered Yaogui City, how can I get Yaoxin?"
"Besides, that was a very early era, so far, I don't know what changes have occurred."
He is telling the truth, and he is not afraid to take risks, but this kind of thing that sounds like there is no chance of winning is a bit mysterious.
Relying on this knife, coupled with Xu Bai's own ability to fight across the ranks, although he only has the first rank of extraordinary, he can fight against the seventh rank of extraordinary.
But... becoming a saint is not enough.
"As long as the knife is still there, the demon heart will still be there. If the demon heart is destroyed, the knife will be gone. This is what the knife maker said back then." Mr. Mu said.
"He associates this knife with Yaoxin, hoping that one day he can perfect this knife. If it can't be perfected, it's better to destroy it."
Xu Bai frowned upon hearing this.
Director Mu stood up and poured Xu Bai a glass of wine.
Xu Bai didn't drink, he was not in the mood to drink.
Director Mu didn't say anything when he saw this, and continued to bring back the topic.
"This knife, if you find the demon heart, it will be a holy nine-rank treasure. When you use it, if you take it and cooperate with chaos, you can cut nine ranks."
Xu Bai clenched his teacup tightly: "So simple?"
If you can use a knife to slaughter those who have reached the ninth rank of the saint, then this demon heart is worth it.
"It depends on whether you are willing to part with it or not?" Director Mu said with a smile: "Once this trick is used and the demon heart is destroyed, then this knife will be completely destroyed."
Reluctance?
This is nothing more than a possession outside the body.
If Eunuch Wei can be rescued, Xu Bai doesn't care.
"Of course." Director Mu added: "If you give up, you will get something. I know you like cheat books. If this trip succeeds, you can go to the royal treasure house. You can see whatever you want, and how long you want to see it." It depends on how long."
After speaking, Director Mu stopped talking, but took out a token from his pocket.
"Everyone knows that I only have two one-time holy treasures, but they don't know that I have a third one."
"This token can exert the power of the third rank of the saint. Just crush it, you can have the strength of the third rank of the saint for half an hour, and it can also help you overcome some difficulties."
Xu Bai took the token, felt the special energy from the token, and put it in his arms.
This thing can be used to save lives, but it is not enough.
Ghost knows how many masters there are in Yaogui City, but there are all people in the industry who died a long time ago.
Although these Yaozu become strange after they die, and their strength will be fixed forever after entering the Yaogui City, but nothing can be said for sure.
"Do you know why there are only nine holy masters in the world?" Director Mu asked.
"Because two of them were killed by Eunuch Wei." Xu Bai said.
"That's right, but it's not a coincidence, it's fate. Only us luck masters know it. Nine is an extreme number." Mr. Mu said eloquently.
"Unless there is a holy master who dies in this world, as long as someone steps into the holy world, he will die, and the way of death is extremely strange. Those two died because of this situation."
"At that time, how could a master who became a saint go to the Great Chu Kingdom without fear of danger in order to covet a little wealth?"
"Prime Minister Wen stepped into the sanctuary with half a foot, but he never dared to enter the sanctuary because of this reason."
Xu Bai was surprised.
This is still a new thing, he really doesn't know it.
But the most important thing now is how to make it safer.
"Are you thinking about how to increase safety?" Director Mu could see what Xu Bai was thinking at a glance.
At this time, he is going to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of fire.
Of course Xu Bai would not shy away from it, he nodded and admitted that it was the case.
"You have the method of disguise, and the human skin mask has not been returned." Mr. Mu said: "Although the method of disguise of the Kongkongmen cannot imitate the strange ability, but with the technology of the Kongkongmen, the appearance is already perfect As long as you are not a holy master, you will not be able to find it."
"There are so many weirdnesses in the strange city, how can it be possible to encounter the strangeness that is holy?"
"Even if you encounter it, with this token, you may be able to escape."
"and this."
A light cluster was taken out by Director Mu and handed to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai received it, not knowing why.
"The luck of the Great Chu Kingdom is only one-tenth, but the current luck of the Great Chu Kingdom is as strong as a dragon, which can ensure your safety even more." President Mu said: "If you believe in me, open your heart and let me Infuse Qi into your body."
"With luck, you will not be too unlucky, and you will reverse your luck in the smallest details."
"Of course, you must return your luck to me after you come back. After all, this belongs to the Great Chu Kingdom, not mine."
When you reach the mortal state, you can't inject luck without people's consent, so Director Mu needs Xu Bai's permission.
Have come here once before, Xu Bai did not refuse this time.
He nodded, agreeing happily.
The ball of light flew into the center of Xu Bai's eyebrows, and soon merged with Xu Bai.
Xu Bai felt that he seemed to have something more.
Can't tell clearly, the way is unknown.
Transfiguration, the treasure token, and the luck of the Great Chu Kingdom.
With these three things, Xu Bai feels that the possibility has been greatly improved, and the safety has also been greatly improved.
Mr. Mu suddenly stood up, arched his hands, and bowed to Xu Bai to the end.
This is a great gift and should not be used lightly.
What's more, the identity of the person in front of him is equivalent to one person under ten thousand in the entire Great Chu Kingdom.
"Thank you very much." Director Mu got up and thanked him: "After so many years, I don't want to see that old guy die."
Xu Bai nodded.
He also didn't want to, this is one of the very few people in this world who treats him sincerely.
"Come here tomorrow morning, and I will take you to the place where you enter the Yaogui City. You can go back tonight and make arrangements." Director Mu said, "If you are not the only one who can enter and leave the Yaogui City, I will find someone to go there in person." gone."
Xu Bai won't stay any longer, he only has one night, he wants to go back to the palace and talk to Ye Zi.
At least one reason must be given, and it cannot disappear without any reason.
He walked quickly, and after taking his leave, he left Zhaixing Tower and walked towards the palace.
Mr. Mu stood by the window on the ninth floor, watching Xu Bai's leaving back, and clenched his fists.
…
At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps around, and then, the door on the ninth floor was pushed open.
Mr. Mu turned his head, and when he saw the person coming, he slowly walked in front of the person with a smile on his mouth, then straightened his clothes, and knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty, this minister is guilty, please punish him."
Chu Huang's face was serious, and he had a frightening aura.
"You promised me at the beginning that you would never misappropriate a single bit of luck from the Great Chu Kingdom, but you did such a thing today, why?"
The Emperor Chu at this moment is no longer the indifferent before, but has become a chilling emperor.
Just now, the Great Chu Kingdom lost one-tenth of its luck, and he knew what was going on in an instant, and immediately ran to the Zhaixing Tower.
Meeting Xu Bai on the way, he also knew that luck was on Xu Bai, but he didn't say anything, but came to ask Director Mu first.
"Wei Chen wants to save Eunuch Wei." Director Mu didn't get up, but still knelt on the ground: "Xu Bai can enter Yaogui City, he can save Eunuch Wei."
"But if he fails, he will die in a deceitful city." The Emperor Chu's eyes were indifferent: "The luck will be completely gone. The great Chu country has less than one tenth of the luck. What will happen to my people? It's not that I don't think about it , but it is even more difficult to keep the people in dire straits.”
"If this is the case, I will use my humble minister to remedy it." Mr. Mu said: "If he dies, Eunuch Wei will also go to die, but His Majesty's plan can still be completed."
"The lost luck can be made up for by the life of this little minister, which is enough."
Chu Huang's pupils shrank: "Is it worth it?"
Mr. Mu didn't answer, but kept on like this.
Chu Huangdao: "Get up and talk, you know, I am most annoyed by these red tapes."
Director Mu got up from the ground.
He looked at the indifferent Chu Huang, and sighed for some reason.
The Emperor of Chu waved his sleeves and said: "You often say that I have changed. Indeed, when I sit in this position, I no longer consider individuals, just like just now."
"If Eunuch Wei dies, I will unify the world and gain peace for the people of the world."
"But if you do this, if Xu Bai fails, although you can still get the peace of the people, you have to involve yourself, and I will lose three people at once."
"Failed, Eunuch Wei, Xu Bai, you, all will die."
"Is it worth it?"
Minister Mu lowered his head: "My minister... the favor owed to Eunuch Wei back then must be repaid."
Emperor Chu took a deep breath, and finally turned around, ready to leave.
"Your Majesty." Director Mu smiled and said, "You are the same as before, and you have become human again."
Emperor Chu's body froze: "This is the last time to indulge you. If it fails, you and Eunuch Wei will leave. The only person who can talk to me in the future will be that stupid brother."
After saying this, Emperor Chu opened the door.
The moment the door closed, he said.
"Don't die."
…
Xu Bai returned to the palace.
Arriving at the temporary residence, he told Ye Zi to go back to the Tianyin teacher first.
After going there this time, I just found a reason and went back to my residence.
Thinking about tomorrow's affairs, he was upset for a while, and now there is no new progress bar to make him more irritable.
"Xu Bai, Xu Bai, you always pay attention to your own interests in everything you do, but this time you really did something stupid."
While walking, he read silently.
Although he kept blaming himself, he didn't say a word not to do it.
"Rest early, I have to go to Yaogui City tomorrow."
Sighed, seeing that it was getting late, Xu Bai was lying on the bed, although tossing and turning, he was not in the mood to get up.
The oil lamp on the table was not blown out. He turned sideways and looked at the flame of the oil lamp.
At this moment, a figure flashed past.
Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, and saw a box thrown over, and there was another sentence at the same time.
"My portable jade pendant can trap the ninth-grade half-pillar of incense."
"After this incident is completed, it doesn't matter if you empty out my royal family's treasury."
"Remember, don't die."
The figure just shook for a while, then disappeared.
Xu Bai sat up silently, showing a clear expression.
Sure enough, the luck injected into his body was the luck of the Great Chu Kingdom. Of course, the Emperor Chu could feel this thing, but what Xu Bai didn't expect was that the Emperor Chu agreed.
Open the wooden box, inside is a dragon-shaped jade pendant, the dragon is coiled and carved very beautifully.
Recalling what Emperor Chu said just now, he put the jade pendant in his arms.
This time, safety has been newly guaranteed.
"With so many things, I feel like I can't go without them." Xu Bai said.
He was going to lie on the bed again, looking at the ceiling, and gradually fell asleep...
…
The next day.
Xu Bai got up early in the morning and went to the Zhaixing Building, just in time to meet Mr. Mu who was walking out of the Zhaixing Building.
The two met each other, neither of them spoke, they walked silently.
Walked out of the Zhaixing Tower, walked into the palace, and finally came to an extremely remote place.
If Director Mu hadn't been leading this place, Xu Bai wouldn't even know about it.
President Mu pressed the button in a hidden location, and then activated the mechanism. The ground suddenly opened, revealing a staircase.
Xu Bai followed Mr. Mu, and the two went down the stairs. After a while, they came to a long underground passage.
It took a long time to walk along this passage before arriving at a huge and incomparably large space.
In the center of the space is a circular pattern that Xu Bai is familiar with.
In fact, he really wanted to ask, how did this thing come about.
Mr. Mu is worthy of being a smart person, and said directly: "I don't know either."
Xu Bai: "..."
Mr. Mu continued talking.
"The so-called **** formation of the Yaozu back then was actually based on these things, and these things seemed to appear naturally."
"But those monster races, in order to hit our morale, said they made it."
"Anyway, as long as we find it, we will move it here. It has been moved much better. This is just one of them."
natural?
Although this is what he said, Xu Bai thought, it is absolutely impossible to be so simple.
Just because until now, no one has discovered how it is formed.
"It's getting late." Director Mu just explained casually, and said solemnly: "You only have half a month, you know?"
Xu Bai nodded.
Half a month later, the barbarians will send troops, and Xu Bai certainly knows the urgency.
Mr. Mu continued: "After entering, this knife will sense something and guide you to the location of Yaoxin. As for the rest, I don't know."
Under the guidance of Director Mu, Xu Bai stood in the very center of the pattern.
During the whole process, neither of them talked nonsense.
When the light came on, Xu Bai felt dizzy for a while, and then his figure disappeared in the center of the circular pattern.
