Chapter 93 From the prologue of the night of the full moon 8000 (seeking a monthly pass)
After Xu Bai finished speaking, he stepped out of the room directly.
Qingxue was pulled by Xu Bai, and followed Xu Bai out of the backyard.
She was in a daze, completely unable to understand what happened, and was completely dragged away by Xu Bai's strength.
Qingxue is very puzzled. What is confusing is that she has not been here for a long time, and she is only responsible for delivering news. Why did she suddenly participate in it?
Also, why she wanted to see Yun Zihai, and why she was asked to go with her, this really made her confused about the situation.
But sometimes, once a person becomes confused, it will last for a while.
In the front yard, the escorts were still exercising, but when they saw Xu Bai leading a beautiful woman out of the backyard, they all showed expressions of astonishment.
It's no wonder they don't know, after all, Qingxue is also a seventh-rank master, sneaking into the backyard quietly is very easy for Qingxue.
So this sudden encounter made everyone present stunned.
"Train well, what to watch! Can you also watch the bodyguard's affairs?" Liu Er raised his long knife and shouted.
Are you kidding, how can they take care of the matter of Chief Xu?
Don't say it's hiding one woman, even if it's hiding ten or a hundred, that's normal.
The bodyguards quickly shut up and said nothing.
…
While going to Yun Zihai's location, Xu Bai told Qingxue some things during the process, including Yun Zihai's purpose.
When he finished speaking, Qingxue was dumbfounded.
This dazed state only lasted for a while before he reacted.
She is not a stupid person, she quickly analyzed the cause and effect of the incident, but she had a new idea.
"Why are you pulling me over? I'm just a messenger!"
To be honest, this matter really has nothing to do with her.
You two can deal with the people behind the Eighth Prince, but it has nothing to do with me.
I've already told you everything, and I've told you all the clues I know, why are you holding me back?
This is Qingxue's truest thought, and it is actually true.
But soon, Xu Bai gave an answer, which made her fall into deep thought.
"I need a helper, so I just said it directly, but I know that if you want to find a helper, it must not be in vain. Once you participate in this matter, once you succeed, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will have a good impression of the Ninth Princess."
He likes to go straight and straight, don't mix anything false, and he doesn't like things that go round and round.
Just do what you want, and there is no possibility of deception.
He really needs a helper, and he said it very directly. After all, the more helpers there are, the more stable things will be.
He is also very clear that there is no free lunch in the world, so tell Qingxue some of the benefits, and it is up to Qingxue to decide whether to go or not.
In an aboveboard transaction, everyone can have a common purpose, and there is no cheating.
If you want to go, let's go together, if not, then Xu Bai let go now.
Qingxue fell silent when she heard the words.
She originally wanted to say, report to the Ninth Princess and see what the Ninth Princess does.
But after thinking about it later, this matter was on the verge of an arrow, so I had to do it.
Once the report is made, it must take time. Waiting for this time, if Xu Bai and Yun Zihai have already dealt with these matters, wouldn't the flowers turn yellow?
After much deliberation, Qingxue finally made a decision, she didn't say a word, she acquiesced, and Xu Bai dragged her towards the county government office.
Qingxue is loyal to the Ninth Princess, she understands this matter very well, it is His Majesty's decision.
If you can participate in it and help Xu Bai and others complete this matter, then the Ninth Princess will be able to gain more favor in front of His Majesty.
For a member of the royal family, gaining the favor of His Majesty the Emperor is more precious than mountains of gold and silver.
Qingxue felt that she could be the master once, after all, the current situation is urgent.
Thinking about this, she stopped talking.
The two continued to walk, getting closer and closer to the Sheng County Yamen.
But before they had gone far, they were stopped by a young man in brocade clothes when they were approaching the county government office.
"Brother Xu, you're not real. I've already given you good things, and I agreed to make friends. Now you're cheating on me, and you're messing with the Ninth Princess again." The young man in brocade clothes spoke angrily. started trembling all the time.
The young man in Jinyi was about to leave. Before leaving, he wanted to see if there were any souvenirs in the county, so that he could take them back and enjoy them for himself.
But he never expected that he would see this scene during his stroll.
Backstab, proper backstab.
The face of the young man in Jinyi was covered with the words "You are not authentic".
Not only is it not authentic, it is simply not a human being!
As the saying goes, it is only natural to collect money to do things. This has been the truth since ancient times.
Even if the charge is a bit more expensive, as long as things can be done properly, this matter is considered perfect.
However, you, Xu Bai, actually take money and do nothing, which is too contrary to the morals of the world.
Say yes, let’s make friends.
You, Xu Bai, also agreed. After receiving the Wuming Sword Sutra, you will no longer get involved in the affairs between the Ninth Princess and the Sixth Prince.
Well, when he got here, it was already a happy ending, and he could go back and return to his life.
But now, in the blink of an eye, you, Xu Bai, are holding the maid of the Ninth Princess and running blatantly on the street.
What's the matter, you two are rushing to worship?
What kind of thing is this? Isn’t this embarrassing him in public?
The young man in Jinyi not only felt very angry, but also felt that someone was slapping him in the face.
Still playing very loudly.
So he wanted to come here to ask for justice. After all, everyone is a reasonable person. This is an obvious matter. In his opinion, Xu Bai does not make sense.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Bai saw the young man in Jinyi, what he expected did not happen, but his eyes lit up instead.
I'm really going to fall asleep, come to the pillow, it's a timely help!
"Snapped!"
Xu Bai didn't say a word, grabbed the shoulder of the young man in brocade clothes, and led him to the county government office.
The process was extremely rude.
"What are you doing? Don't think I won't be angry if you bring me along again and make it so fair. Let me tell you, there is no way to do this!" The young man in Jinyi began to struggle.
What is this called?
Don't think that it's fair and just to bring me along at this time.
Why don't you take me first?
But only halfway through the conversation, he heard Xu Bai's voice.
"Do you want to get some capital for your sixth prince?" Xu Bai said lightly.
The young man in brocade clothes was slightly taken aback.
He is also a member of the Sixth Prince's military division, and in terms of intelligence and intelligence, he is even worse than Qingxue.
Seeing Xu Bai's impatient look again, the young man in brocade clothes chose to keep his mouth shut and follow Xu Bai first.
Qingxue was not calm after hearing the words.
What? This is the sixth prince's man?
Isn't it related to him that he assassinated himself before?
Thinking of this, Qingxue stretched out her right hand, and secretly touched the silver thorn on her waist.
At this moment, her hand held by Xu Bai suddenly tightened, it was Xu Bai who exerted his strength.
Qingxue raised her head subconsciously, and found Xu Bai mouthing towards her position.
-cooperate.
Getting this information, Qingxue thought for a while, then put down her right hand.
"Miss Qingxue, this is not my idea. My idea is to benefit you. The one who sent someone to assassinate you was arranged by another military adviser. Who knew that the sixth prince said he wanted them all." The young man in brocade clothes also said. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly explained.
"Hehe..." Qingxue sneered.
If Xu Bai hadn't given Xu Bai some face, she would have done it now.
Amidst the commotion, Xu Bai entered the county government office from a hidden place in the wall, and went directly to Yun Zihai's room.
At this time, the door of Yun Zihai's house was open, Xu Bai walked in with Qingxue without saying a word.
Yun Zihai was still sitting on the chair, looking devastated, obviously recently, he was driven to a headache by that note.
At this time, he also heard the sound, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Bai walking in from the outside with a man and a woman.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing?" Yun Zihai froze for a moment, feeling confused.
It is really puzzling why he brought a man and a woman to him all of a sudden.
"Helper." Xu Bai introduced Qingxue's abilities.
Yun Zihai felt a headache after hearing this: "Brother Xu, this matter of mine is very secret."
Originally, his plan was extremely secretive. Before coming, His Majesty the Emperor had told him to keep it as secret as possible.
He was able to tell Xu Bai because Xu Bai was an extremely reliable helper. After all, his junior sister Liu Xu was highly praised.
But now that more and more people know about it, it is a big headache.
"I know what you mean, you listen to her first, Qingxue, tell me what you know." Xu Bai said.
Qingxue stared wide-eyed: "Didn't I tell you everything? You said it was the same."
"You are the person involved, and I feel deeply." Xu Bai waved his hand.
He is very lazy, and he has to say so many words, which is very taxing.
Qingxue's character was completely overwhelmed by Xu Bai, and she had no choice but to repeat what she knew.
Yun Zihai was listening all the time, and he didn't fall into deep thought until after Qingxue finished speaking.
"Think about it carefully. Since the other party knows that your letter is likely to have disappeared long ago, you don't need them to chase after you. Then the clues will be completely cut off, and you don't care about letting other people know. It's just right now. The two of them One is also a suitable master." Xu Bai explained one by one.
Yun Zihai nodded silently.
In fact, it is correct to think so.
He was a bait, and the so-called bait was the letter.
Now that the other party no longer doubts the letter, his bait has lost its effect.
What they need to do now is to grasp the clues in their hands and take the initiative to attack after cracking them.
Turn the fish into a hook and hook the fish.
Since you want to take the initiative to attack, the fishing rod must be thick and big, and the more helpers you have, the better.
"Wait, the mausoleum you mentioned just now?" Yun Zihai asked.
Qingxue nodded affirmatively, indicating that she heard correctly, it definitely means mausoleum.
Yun Zihai fell into deep thought.
At this time, the young man in Jinyi was stupefied.
To be honest, he really didn't understand what happened.
He only started to follow silently when he heard that it was beneficial.
"What's your name?" Xu Bai turned his head, looked at the young man in Jinyi, and asked, "What ability do you have?"
"Zhou Qing." The young man in Jinyi replied: "Our Zhou family is a family of martial arts. I have learned the Zhou family's Tengyun hand, which can switch between virtual and real, catching the enemy by surprise."
When he fought Xu Bai before, the layer of cloud and mist was the cloud-soaring hand he had learned.
Xu Bai touched his chin, organized his words, and said the benefits of this incident.
The more he listened, the brighter Zhou Qing's eyes became. After he heard Xu Bai finish speaking, he thumped his palm hard.
"Done!"
If this matter is done successfully, it will bring many benefits to the sixth prince, the biggest benefit is to win His Majesty's favor.
Qingxue stroked her forehead with her hands, in a helpless state.
Another person who boarded a pirate ship.
She found that Xu Bai was very handy in pulling people onto the boat.
Of course, what she didn't know was that the bodyguards of the entire Fulong Bodyguard Bureau were all brought aboard by Xu Baila.
At this point in the conversation, Yun Zihai also came to his senses from deep thought.
"Brother Xu, I thought of that note. From the news you gave me, it probably isn't a map from the outside world." Yun Zihai raised his head and said.
Xu Bai said: "I also thought of it. When it comes to the word mausoleum, this thing is probably a map inside the mausoleum."
There are many types of mausoleums in the Great Chu Kingdom, especially some large curtains, which have many twists and turns.
This also indirectly gave birth to a business, the door robber branch, the gravedigger.
The so-called gravediggers made their fortunes in this business. But many people feel that it is unlucky, so they stay away from it.
When the rich and noble families of the Great Chu State built their mausoleums, they would leave a map for future generations. After all, there were many funerary objects in the mausoleum. Once the descendants were destitute, they could take them out from them.
This point is quite different from the previous life.
"Brother Xu, wait a moment." Yun Zihai said, then immediately turned around and took out a thick booklet from the bookshelf.
On the booklet, there are four words written.
—History of Sheng County.
To put it simply, this is about the history of Sheng County, describing the entire process of Sheng County from its establishment to its development, from the past to the present.
"Can you finish reading such a thick book?" Xu Bai frowned.
"Students, of course, are the most suitable." Yun Zihai smiled.
Good guy.
The corners of Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.
If you have this skill, you don't have to worry about all the exams.
For such a large and thick booklet, it took Yun Zihai less than half a stick of incense to turn from the first page to the last.
After a while, Yun Zihai stopped, and he went back and flipped through it again, finally stopping at a certain page.
"Brother Xu, this place is more complicated than we imagined." Yun Zihai smiled wryly.
Xu Bai leaned closer, looked at the written records on it, and then, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Royal family, promoted to King You?"
According to the records of Sheng County, a long time ago, an extremely powerful person died in battle here.
Sheng Youwang, the emperor's younger brother.
In that era, the Great Chu Kingdom was precarious and had just been successfully established.
Da Viet is already a very mature country.
As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
Da Yue Kingdom used various means to finally deceive King Shengyou to come here, and sent countless masters to besiege and kill him. In the end, King Shengyou died in the wilderness.
Of course, before he died, all the enemies were beheaded by him. On that piece of wilderness, the blood stained the land red, and it did not disperse for a long time.
On that day, the whole country of Great Chu State mourned together.
The emperor personally ordered the construction of a huge mausoleum in Sheng County, where the bones of King Shengyou could be buried forever.
Since then, countless gravediggers have tried to decipher this tomb, but they all died in the tomb. Over time, this tomb has become a taboo for gravediggers, and no one dares to mention it.
"Didn't you think of such an important thing before?" Xu Bai said.
"No, we know that King Shengyou died in battle, but only the older generation knows the exact location where he was buried. The purpose is to prevent more gravediggers from approaching." Yun Zihai said helplessly.
"But who would have thought that the news would still be leaked. Countless gravediggers were buried in the mausoleum. Over time, no one dared to come again, but the place of burial was still not mentioned."
"After I came to Sheng County, I first paid attention to the lives of the people. I have never read this history book. If I knew it, I would have read it earlier."
Speaking of this, Yun Zihai felt ashamed.
Xu Bai stroked his chin, thinking in secret.
Keeping others from knowing the location of the mausoleum can be said to prevent grave diggers, but there are no grave diggers behind, and they still don't mention the place of burial. what.
But these things are not what he should think about. It is more important to solve the problem now.
"We don't have gravediggers." Xu Bai said.
This history is written clearly, including the location of the mausoleum, but there is still a problem, they do not have a gravedigger.
Especially the royal mausoleum, which is even more terrifying, there might be something extremely dangerous inside.
"Brother Xu, you are right, but I think we don't have it, others do." Yun Zihai said.
The meaning inside and outside the words is also very simple. They don't have it, but it doesn't mean that the mysterious people don't. Since the purpose of the mysterious people is the mausoleum, they must bring gravediggers with them, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward.
"Of course, if we can kill them before then, that's the best way." Yun Zihai said again.
It would be great to be able to kill them in advance. If you can't kill them, the next best thing is to find a way later to destroy their actions.
At this time, the young man in brocade clothes raised his hand and said, "If you really want to find a gravedigger, I can find it here."
Xu Bai turned his head and asked, "Who?"
The young man in brocade clothes pointed to himself and said, "Me."
Xu Bai silently took two steps back.
Unlucky.
Not only him, but even Yun Zihai and Qingxue retreated at the same time.
After all, there are rumors that anyone who gets too close to the gravedigger will have bad luck.
"The Zhou family, so it's that Zhou family." Yun Zihai's head was full of black lines: "I heard that when you first made your fortune, you relied on this unique skill to make your fortune. If it weren't for the turbulent years later, all your enemies would have died. It is estimated that now I will be retaliated like a storm."
Gravediggers will never let others know their identities. After all, every gravedigger is doing the business of digging ancestral graves. If people find out, those who have been dug up ancestral graves will definitely give them a heavy blow.
"After the establishment of the Great Chu Kingdom, we all washed our hands in the golden basin, but our descendants still have to learn it. After all, it is our old business." Zhou Qing vowed.
"Are you good at learning?" Xu Bai asked.
"It's okay, since then, the Zhou family has turned into martial arts, but some unique skills are still not forgotten, because we have already distinguished the primary and secondary reasons, so when learning unique skills, we learn the ones we are interested in separately, not all of them. "Zhou Qing explained.
In this world, people can cultivate more, but the time cost will multiply, so no one wants to cultivate more.
What gravediggers do requires energy. Zhou Qing raised his right hand, and on the index finger, there was a burst of khaki light flashing.
"What I mainly learn is the ingenuity in the tomb. We already know the exact location, and we don't need to divide the money to fix the acupoints. What we need is to guard against the mechanism in the tomb." Zhou Qing explained.
As he spoke, he patted his chest confidently, indicating that there should be no major problems.
"Is there really no problem? Don't forget, that mausoleum has made countless gravediggers fearful." Qingxue reminded.
King Shengyou's tomb is not easy to deal with.
Xu Bai patted Qingxue on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, if it can be resolved in advance, it will be resolved in advance. If not, it will depend on the situation."
The purpose of their trip was not to steal the tomb.
If there are people who understand the mechanism present, then after the group of mysterious people enter, they can find a way to activate the mechanism inside and bury the group of mysterious people inside, which can be regarded as completed.
"Then let's settle down like this first." Yun Zihai looked at Xu Bai and said, "Shall we start now?"
Xu Bai nodded.
Go there early if you have clues, of course, leave immediately.
Qingxue and Zhou Qing had no objection to this proposal.
Clouds came from the sea to the window.
There was a pigeon hanging on the window. After he took out the pigeon inside, he put a note on the pigeon's leg.
"I will send a message to His Majesty, asking him to send experts over as soon as possible. We can delay as long as we can." Yun Zihai explained as he let the pigeon fly.
He didn't expect that this incident was related to King Shengyou, which was beyond expectations.
And most importantly, until now, they haven't figured out who these mysterious people are.
After finishing this matter, the few people didn't stay any longer, and rushed in that direction according to the place marked in the history book.
…
At this time, in a wilderness, a dozen men in black were standing there, with their heads down, not daring to look forward.
In front, stood a man with a mask on his face.
The mask has no facial features, and is smooth, except for two holes where the eyes are.
"Ghost Sculptor!"
The masked man let out a low drink coldly.
Among the crowd, a man in black walked out, with his head down, not daring to speak.
The masked man threw the paper in his hand on the face of the man in black, and said angrily: "Come and tell me, why is there a corner of the map missing?"
Ghost Sculptor shivered and dared not say a word.
"Before I came out, I gave you the most important thing, but you gave me this thing. Are you disappointing me?" The masked man's voice was murderous.
"Master, please forgive me. I don't know why this part was missing. Maybe it was lost accidentally when I escaped from there." The ghost sculptor was shocked by the voice, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees .
The murderous intent is getting stronger and stronger.
At this moment, a female voice sounded.
"Since when did our revered Eighth Prince become so moody?"
Accompanied by this enchanting female voice, a woman of great stature walked out of the woods.
This figure makes people not feel addicted to it just by looking at it, and coupled with that ecstasy voice, it is simply a stunner.
But when the eyes look up, the flames that have been aroused will be extinguished in an instant.
There is no other reason. On top of this extremely tall figure, there is actually a fox's head.
Monster.
Fox demon!
It is not the fox tail that ordinary people imagine, but the fox head.
With a mouth full of fangs and a fierce look in his eyes, it happened to be embedded in this extremely tall figure.
It's weird, it fits the hobbies of some special groups of people, but most people definitely don't like it.
"Thousand-faced fox, you are finally willing to come out. I have paid such a high price, and now I have fallen short. Give me an explanation!" The eighth prince's tone became more intense, especially after the thousand-faced fox walked out, he almost ran away.
Who knew that Qianmianhu didn't buy his face, when the Eighth Prince said this, Qianmianhu also got angry.
"Pay the biggest price, I'm afraid it's us who pay the biggest price. The most talented clansman in our clan escaped smoothly for you, and has become like you, as a sacrifice."
Speaking of this, Qianmianhu's fox head exploded.
Their family is best at imitating the appearance of others.
In order to make the Eighth Prince fake death, they even paid the price of a genius clansman.
The eighth prince was still glaring at the thousand-faced fox.
"I know that you are the majestic Eighth Prince, and we are all evil spirits and monsters, but we can't tolerate you talking like this, because we are helping you now." Qianmianhu continued, pointing at the ghost. Sculptor: "Wherever you put it, he can be happy and happy, come to help you, and make such a humble appearance, who do you think you are."
After these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.
After a long time.
The eighth prince seems to have come out of the state of rage and calmed down his anger.
"The map I worked so hard to steal from the palace is now lost in a corner. We may be in great danger, but we have no choice."
He just couldn't bear it just now, but now that he came back to his senses, he realized that no matter how angry he was, it would be useless.
The most important thing is to find what you want.
"Will you really pay such a high price just for missing such a corner?" Qianmianhu frowned.
"The roads inside are intricate and complicated, and there are so many organs. Without this map, it is easy to be in danger, but we can only do this." The Eighth Prince said.
Everyone fell into silence.
Now it's time to go to the bottom of the boat, and there are problems again, so we can only go up against the danger.
"The night of the full moon tonight is the time for us to act." The Eighth Prince said.
"yes!"
Everyone quickly agreed.
In this forest, there is a faint smell of blood permeating the air.
…
L outside the county.
At this moment, Xu Bai and the others are running with all their strength, and the destination is the location recorded in the history books.
The position marked above is still far away from Sheng County, on the edge of Sheng County.
The sun is gradually setting, and above the sky, there is a full moon hanging.
The moon tonight is rounder than ever before, like a jade plate, hanging high on the curtain of the night, when the silver light sprinkles down, it sets off the jade plate to make smoke rise.
Yinhui is like a fairy, dancing in the moonlight.
Xu Bai subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Yuanyue, then continued on his way.
But at this moment, Zhou Qing suddenly spoke and told everyone to stop.
"Wait a minute, everyone, something doesn't seem right!"
After Zhou Qing finished speaking, Xu Bai and the others stopped and turned to look at him.
Since Zhou Qing said that sentence, he stopped talking, but lowered his head, took out an ancient book from his arms, and flipped through it.
After a while, his hand stopped on one of the pages, and his face changed slightly.
"On the night of the full moon, when the tomb changes, you need to be cautious to save your life."
A paragraph was read slowly by him.
Zhou Qing raised his head and said: "It is written in the book that if the tomb of a person who was graceful and luxurious during his lifetime appeared on the night of the full moon, it would cause huge turmoil. Today is just the night of the full moon. I suspect that the other party didn't want to Grave robbery, but..."
"Let the one in the mausoleum turmoil."
Speaking of this, Zhou Qing shivered.
The one in the mausoleum is the legendary King Shengyou, the emperor's younger brother.
If there is unrest...
"Corpse?" Xu Bai asked with a frown.
"That's just one of them. I don't know what he wants to do, but huge turmoil will definitely happen. Everyone, maybe we won't have a second plan. We must solve it before they do it." Put away the book, said.
The so-called second plan is that when they can't solve each other in advance, they follow each other into the mausoleum, and then think of other ways inside.
Either destroy the mausoleum and let the opponent be buried in it, or finish the opponent inside.
But now it seems that the situation is very wrong and must be resolved early.
"It seems that everyone should stop holding back your hands, and don't keep any secret tricks. Meeting is a time of life and death." Xu Bai said.
Everyone present nodded in unison, without saying much, and continued to rush towards the destination.
The moon has become more and more round, and it is about to reach perfection.
Xu Bai and the others finally arrived at their destination, which was a huge wilderness.
The surrounding area was originally surrounded by woods, but now the woods have disappeared, and all the trees have been cut down, leaving only a wooden stake in place.
From the woods to the wilderness, it is very intuitive here, and you can directly see the situation in the center.
In the middle of this wilderness, stood a dozen people, all wearing black robes, and they surrounded a man wearing a mask.
Beside the man in the mask, there was a woman with a fiery figure and a fox head.
