Chapter 119 I Want to Borrow Xu Bai's Fate (8000)

As the masked man finished speaking, the air around him seemed to turn cold.

The man in black robe had been lowering his head, waiting for the masked man's instructions.

When he heard this, his brows furrowed.

The final method?

What is that?

As a spy, the man in black robe knew very well that that was what he wanted to know most.

But now they were leaving, and it was the man in black robe who proposed to leave, so he didn't want to say more now.

At this time, he also understood the real intention of Xu Bai's approach.

Those who can be spies are definitely not stupid people. If they are not smart, they would have been discovered long ago and their bodies would be gone.

Xu Bai wanted him to play his last role. Once the masked man wanted to make a big move, he could only use him if no one was available.

If he really used him, he would have the opportunity to pass on intelligence, and even work together inside and outside to take down the masked man and the tunnel in one fell swoop.

"I didn't expect that after so much hard work, it would be completed because of this man?" The man in black robe thought as he walked.

They gradually walked away and slowly disappeared into the dark alley.

…

Something big happened in Yunlai Mansion, and the news spread quickly. The whole Yunlai Mansion, from the big families to the ordinary people, all knew about it.

Just last night, many family members gathered together to attack and kill the new governor of Yunlai Mansion, and they all failed.

As soon as the news came out, it caused an uproar.

Attacking court officials is a serious crime in the Great Chu State, and it is the most serious.

Even if you are a royal relative, you will be executed in the autumn.

Especially the governor, in Jingzhou Prefecture, it is not low. If it is known by the capital, the consequences are self-evident.

Yun Zihai's way of dealing with this matter is relatively direct. He directly explained that there was an attack last night, and the mess at the scene can explain everything.

In fact, there are some forces in these families, but when they heard that the governor was attacked, they all became dumb and dared not say a word.

He still has to stay in Da Chu. It would be good if he is not questioned at this time. Who would dare to ask?

Yun Zihai is also very smart. He took this opportunity and used this excuse to call the heads of various families. Under coercion and inducement, he gradually consolidated his authority.

In this case of attacking court officials, if the letter reaches the capital directly, the families involved will be guilty of joint crimes.

With this handle, all the major families bowed their heads and said that they would all listen to Lord Yun's orders.

In this situation, Yun Zihai even sighed inadvertently when he was alone.

"Brother Xu is really my lucky star. I didn't expect that I could solve this matter by the way. It's really unexpected."

He was holding a book in his hand and rushing to Xu Bai's position.

This is his method of cultivation, a book for fifth-grade scholars.

When they were ambushed that day, they promised Xu Bai that they would have to pay for this matter.

After thinking about it, he still felt that this thing should be given to Xu Bai.

The books of Qingyun Academy should not be passed on to others, but this book is not from Qingyun Academy, but from a ruined academy that Yun Zihai got.

That academy is already in name only, and the book in his hand is also a rare book.

Who doesn't have some adventures these days?

Since it is a book that is already in name only, he certainly has absolute control.

Moreover, this book is a bit strange. As a scholar, Yun Zihai is a little scared when he sees it, for fear of disturbing his mentality.

"Since I am already a fifth-rank scholar, I can ask the court for a book of a fifth-rank scholar. I really can't read this book." Yun Zihai thought.

There are two kinds of people in Qingyun Academy.

One is to enter the official career after completing the study, and the other is to continue to stay in the academy and become a teacher or continue to be a student.

Of course, in addition to taking the official career, you can also join the Jiantian Division.

If you leave Qingyun Academy and enter the Great Chu State, except for some connection with Qingyun Academy, Qingyun Academy will not care about the things in this book.

Correspondingly, the court is in charge.

This is also the agreement between Qingyun Academy and the Great Chu State. Some smaller academies do not have this agreement.

And if you enter the Jiantian Division, the academy will still be in charge.

But most scholars will not join the Jiantian Division, after all, a career in politics is what they want.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, to directly enter the martial arts world.

The consequence of this possibility is that no one will care.

Yun Zihai estimated that when the time comes, he will write a secret letter and submit it to the capital, and the book will definitely be required.

Thinking of this, he has come to Xu Bai's room.

In the room, Xu Bai was sitting leisurely on a chair.

Next to Xu Bai, the fifth-grade paper man was serving tea and water, and even rubbing Xu Bai's shoulders and legs.

Since the last incident, Xu Bai asked Liu Er to return to Yinyi, and he continued to stay in the government office.

After all, the matter has not been resolved, and it will not be too late to go to Yinyi after it is resolved.

Seeing this scene, Yun Zihai's mouth twitched.

He has read a lot of books, so he knows some tricks.

If the paper-making technique does not reach the corresponding threshold, the success rate of making these things is not very high, especially the fifth-grade paper man.

If it is really made, everyone will treat it as a treasure, afraid of encountering it, how can it be as casual as Xu Bai.

Unless you practice to the maximum level, there is a chance of failure when making a fifth-grade paper man with a fifth-grade book.

"Brother Xu may not have reached the maximum level." Yun Zihai thought, and shook his head.

In his opinion, with Xu Bai's qualifications, if he only focused on one item, he might have become famous now.

But he can't control this matter. After all, it is someone else's business. He can only remind them at most.

Thinking of this, Yun Zihai tidied his clothes and walked in.

"Brother Xu is really in a good mood. Most people in this world are not as free and easy as Brother Xu."

As soon as he came close and sat down, the fifth-grade paper man brought a cup of tea and handed it to Yun Zihai.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "Things are made to be used. If they are not used, it would be a waste. Brother Yun, did you find anything this time?"

Yun Zihai took a sip of tea, shook his head, and said, "Nothing was found. The other party seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news about the black-robed man. But it has only been a day, and it is still early. I came here to give this to Brother Xu."

As he said that, Yun Zihai handed over the book in his hand.

Xu Bai certainly understood what it was. While taking it, he politely said, "Alas, it was just a joke at the time. I didn't expect Brother Yun to take it seriously. In this case, I can't let Brother Yun down."

Yun Zihai: "..."

Why do I feel something is wrong when I give something to someone?

After Xu Bai said a few polite words, he didn't say anything more and opened the book in his hand.

There is a progress bar. He knew it the first time he saw this book.

It's just that Yun Zihai is here. According to the normal progress, after getting a new book, of course he opened it as soon as possible.

As for the appearance, it still needs to be made.

The cover of the book is a bit old, and the name on it can't be seen clearly.

When Xu Bai opened the first page, he closed it in an instant, and then his eyes became extremely funny.

"I didn't expect that Brother Yun, who is so handsome, would like this?"

The content of the first page is so naked that it is simply outrageous.

But the writing is also very good. Just one glance at it makes me feel addicted to it, and even imagine the scene in my mind.

This is an ancient version of a small X book.

There are so many postures that Xu Bai opened his eyes.

"I have to say that at least in terms of writing, there are places to learn from." Yun Zihai blushed and said, "If Brother Xu doesn't like it, wait a few days, how about I change it for you?"

It's embarrassing!

I should have known not to take it out!

I, Yun Zihai, am a gentleman, but now I take out this kind of book. How will Brother Xu look at me in the future?

When he thought of this, Yun Zihai felt so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"No need. Things exist for their own reasons. We cannot deny their value because of their content, except for mosquitoes." Xu Bai said with a serious face.

Yun Zihai was stunned by this serious expression.

"Since Brother Xu likes it, I'm relieved." Yun Zihai clasped his fists and said, "Then I'll go to deal with other matters."

After that, Yun Zihai didn't wait for Xu Bai to agree. For the first time, he lost his manners and left like a fly, fearing that he would stay for a second longer.

Xu Bai looked at Yun Zihai's back as he left and sighed, "Scholars are still thin-skinned..."

If there is a progress bar, it is a good thing, and the content doesn't matter.

What's more, the process of grinding the progress bar is very boring, and the content on it is extremely exciting, just matching each other.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai planned to start grinding.

But before he could grind for a while, Chu Yu came in from outside with a small notebook and a few buns.

Xu Bai put away the book in a panic, which aroused Chu Yu's doubt.

"Master, what are you doing?" Chu Yu put the bun on the table with a silly look, and put his head close to Xu Bai's hand: "Did you hide something interesting? Let me see..."

Xu Bai held Chu Yu's head and said, "Study."

As soon as these two words came out, Chu Yu immediately became quiet, stood up straight, and was serious.

Xu Bai nodded with satisfaction. The teaching during this period was still useful. This reaction was good.

Just kidding, how could Chu Yu see the content of this book? If he saw it, wouldn't he be completely dead?

"Okay, let's go to class today." Xu Bai took a bite of the bun and said.

Chu Yu took out a small notebook and looked like he was listening carefully.

Xu Bai taught the next course in detail.

Time passed slowly. When all the courses were finished, Chu Yu was about to leave, but was stopped by Xu Bai.

Looking at Chu Yu's face full of doubts, Xu Bai pondered for a moment and asked.

"Have you ever heard of the Immortal Body technique?"

He thought about it and decided to ask Chu Yu.

Chu Yu is a member of the royal family and the daughter of King Shengyou. She has been carefully cultivated by the emperor and has learned a lot. In terms of knowledge, she is more knowledgeable than Yun Zihai.

So asking Chu Yu is the best choice.

The skill of the immortal body is currently incomplete, lacking the regeneration of broken limbs that Xu Bai wants most. He wants to know how to get it.

"Immortal body?" Chu Yu was slightly stunned, then reacted and said, "Isn't this a Taoist technique? It is said that it was created by a Taoist genius, and it has long been gone."

"Gone?" Xu Bai frowned and said, "What does gone mean?"

"It is said that if this technique is practiced to the extreme, the body will not be destroyed." Chu Yu tilted her head, her eyebrows twisted, "That genius died a long time ago, and died on the way to create the technique."

Speaking of this, Chu Yu paused and sighed, "Creating the technique is a stunning talent. He had already succeeded, and it would have been fine to stop there, but he found a flaw in the immortal body."

"Where is the flaw?" Xu Bai's eyes lit up.

Hearing this kind of news is undoubtedly the most exciting, especially when it comes to the immortal body.

"It is only the body that is immortal, but the soul cannot be immortal." Chu Yu pointed to his head and said, "So the Taoist genius wanted to improve it again, but something went wrong, and his soul was directly destroyed and died. That was a long time ago, it was still the period of the Dafeng Kingdom."

Improved the technique?

Soul annihilation?

Xu Bai touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

From what Chu Yu said just now, it can be known that it is difficult to obtain the immortal body technique at present.

How can it be obtained when the person is dead?

Moreover, the disadvantages of this technique are too great, especially in terms of soul.

Soul, that is, soul, that is, consciousness.

If there is no soul, only a body is left, what is the use?

"It seems that I still have to rely on the progress bar to continuously merge and gradually improve myself." Xu Bai thought to himself.

While he was stunned, Chu Yu rolled her eyes, stretched out her white little hand, and quietly touched Xu Bai's chest.

There was the place where Xu Bai had just put the book.

Chu Yu's face was excited.

Hum, it must be something fun, the young master deliberately hid it and didn't show it to me.

When she was about to get close, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed her white wrist.

Chu Yu looked up at Xu Bai with an innocent look on his face, and said, "Master, there is dust on your chest..."

Xu Bai let go of his hand and said, "Okay, go back and review today's homework first."

Chu Yu saw Xu Bai say that, and didn't get his things, so he could only leave dejectedly.

After Chu Yu left, Xu Bai picked up the book in his arms and continued to work on the progress bar.

There will be plenty of time to slowly integrate the immortal body in the future. The most important thing now is to work on this book first.

The progress bar is constantly growing, and Xu Bai continues to work on it leisurely while reading the contents of the book.

...

While Xu Bai is working on the progress bar, the masked man is not doing well on the other side.

"Sir, I have verified that Yun Zihai has taken advantage of this opportunity to manage all the families. Those families are in danger, fearing that Yun Zihai will write a letter to the capital, and it will be difficult to infiltrate." The man in black robe stood aside, bowed and saluted, and told everything he had found out.

Since the last incident, the masked man has become extremely silent. Although he didn't say anything, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the masked man had reached the end of his rope.

After hearing the report from the black-robed man, the masked man was still in a daze. After a long while, he waved his hand.

"Don't worry about them."

Just five words, but they were full of fatigue.

The black-robed man hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Sir, you said last time that there are other plans. Can we take action?"

After thinking about it, he decided to ask.

At this time, it is harmless to ask, after all, in the masked man's mind, the black-robed man is now on the same boat with him.

The masked man heard this and did not answer, but took out a wooden box and a map from a hidden place.

When these two things were taken out, the black-robed man tried his best to stay calm, but a huge wave of waves rose in his heart.

This is what he has always wanted, an authentic map!

Since he entered Yunlai Mansion, he has been looking for an opportunity, but the map has been carried by the masked man, so there is no chance at all.

Now he sees it. If he hadn't tried his best to restrain himself, he would have been exposed long ago.

Because the man in black robe restrained himself very well, the masked man didn't notice it.

The masked man looked at the map and the wooden box, stroked them gently with his hands, talked to himself, and seemed to be talking to the man in black robe.

"I have spent all my efforts to use the corpse of Dafeng, who has a great hatred for Da Chu, to cultivate Feng Shui, in order to destroy Da Chu's Feng Shui and make it unable to recover."

"It was almost successful. Yunlai Mansion will soon have no Feng Shui to speak of. By then, a large number of people will die, and the place where Yunlai Mansion is located will become a desolate land."

"But I never expected that Xu Bai and Yun Zihai would jump out halfway, and my plan would be shattered in an instant."

"Now, I can only control what I can control."

When a person succeeds, he needs to talk to others, and when a person fails, he also needs to talk to others.

The masked man now looks extremely crazy.

The man in black robes heard all of this, and his heart was constantly surging.

Destroy the Feng Shui pattern, extinct life, and a desolate land?

It turns out that Anlou actually has this in mind.

The man in black robe tried to control his tone and asked, "Sir, please tell me what you need me to do. I will do my best to do it as long as I can do it."

"Now is the critical moment of life and death. I need you to take half of the jade and the map, go to the tunnel, and put the jade in this point." The masked man pointed to the mark on the map and said slowly, "Yun Zihai is half of the Feng Shui, and I am the other half. Since I can't destroy all of Yunlai Mansion, I will destroy half."

As he said, the masked man divided the jade and the map into half and handed them to the man in black robe.

When he handed them to the man in black robe, he also emphasized that the man in black robe must be careful.

The man in black robe took the jade and the map and fell into deep thought.

He thought of the intention of the masked man.

This time, he and the masked man acted separately, and there were more chances to succeed.

The existence of Yun Zihai itself is one of the Feng Shui, but only half, and the masked man as a Feng Shui master represents the other half.

Now, since it is impossible to destroy everything, the masked man wants to destroy half of it, at least it will not make Xu Bai and the others have an easy time.

"What are you still doing here, hurry up!" Seeing that the black-robed man was still standing there, the masked man thought that the black-robed man was afraid of death, and said: "At least they don't know our location, so it is safe for the time being."

"Yes, I know." The black-robed man bowed, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and said: "I am not worried about life and death, but another thing."

"What is it?" the masked man asked.

The black-robed man came close to the masked man and said: "Yes..."

Before he finished speaking, the black-robed man acted decisively and hit the masked man's chest with a palm.

At such a close distance, the masked man could not react in time and only had time to stomp on the ground.

It is a unique ability of Feng Shui masters, which continues from the ground and finally gathers in the chest.

"Boom!"

The masked man was hit by a palm. Although he temporarily blocked part of it, he was still hit by a huge force and flew backwards, hitting the window and flying far away.

At this time, the man in black robe did not continue to chase. While the masked man was flying out, he grabbed all the maps and jades, changed direction, and left at the fastest speed in his life.

After he left for a while, the masked man jumped in from the window, looking at the empty table, his eyes were red with anger.

"You are a traitor! Yes, I said why it is so unlucky!"

The masked man looked at the open door with a gloomy face.

It's too late to chase him out now.

After thinking about it, the masked man did not stop and fled in another direction.

"My opportunity was stolen by you, so it's really a matter of jade and stone, Xu Bai, Yun Zihai, I want you to die!"

The voice of the masked man rang in the empty room.

...

The man in black robe left the house, not daring to stop at all, and rushed directly to the government office.

Along the way, no one came to stop him, and he arrived at the government office smoothly.

He had no other choice. At that time, decisive action was the best way, otherwise he would miss the opportunity.

In fact, he did get what he wanted now, and he did not fail.

When the black-robed man climbed over the wall, the paper man in the government office immediately reacted.

Xu Bai, who was in the room, sensed it, put down the book in his hand, and went directly to the backyard.

After seeing the black-robed man, Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and glanced at the things in the black-robed man's hand. By the way, he asked the paper man lurking everywhere to notify Yun Zihai and others.

Yun Zihai and others also came quickly and surrounded the black-robed man.

"Hurry, there is no time, we need to act as soon as possible!"

The black-robed man handed the things in his hand to Xu Bai, and told the cause and effect of the matter as quickly as possible.

"Destroy half of the Feng Shui? A desolate place?"

After hearing the explanation of the black-robed man, everyone was slightly surprised.

"He didn't chase you?" Xu Bai asked.

Since this thing is so important, the masked man must get it back even if he dies. Now it seems that the other party has no intention of chasing.

"This is what I am worried about. If he doesn't chase us, he must have a last resort. Let's go to different tunnels quickly, maybe we can find it." The black-robed man said anxiously.

Xu Bai is different. The more anxious he is, the more he needs to calm down.

He took out the map and said, "This tunnel includes the entire Yunlai Mansion. It's very troublesome."

Yunlai Mansion is too big. If the other party really wants to do this, it will be difficult to find it.

"By the way, he told me the important place to put the jade is here." The black-robed man pointed to half of the map and said.

Xu Bai glanced at it and still shook his head and said, "If that's the case, we only know the location of half of it, and we know nothing about the other half."

The black-robed man sighed, he had no choice.

Because of the situation at the time, if he asked the masked man again, it would arouse suspicion.

At this time, Chu Yu raised his hand and said, "Master, I know."

Xu Bai turned his head and looked at Chu Yu.

When it was said that it was related to Feng Shui before, Chu Yu said that he had read books related to Feng Shui, but because he was not a Feng Shui master, he understood it very superficially.

Now Chu Yu suddenly spoke, Xu Bai's eyes lit up, grabbed Chu Yu's hand, brought her closer, and said, "Tell me quickly."

"It should be here." Chu Yu racked her brains for a while, pointed to a location on the other half of the map, and said, "I have seen a similar map in my uncle's study, but it was super large. This is only part of it. There should be a mark on it, which is here."

"Your uncle?" Yun Zihai looked puzzled, not understanding what was going on.

"Her uncle works in the palace." Xu Bai simply fooled: "In this case, let's go."

Xu Bai knew very well who Chu Yu's uncle was.

Since it was marked by the emperor, it is very likely to be correct.

Although there is another question involved, that is, why did the emperor mark it.

This is a Feng Shui bureau. Did the emperor know it a long time ago?

But since he knew it, why didn't he intervene, but pretended not to know, pretending to let spies like the black-robed man to get the news?

Everyone has their own ideas, and Xu Bai thinks that he can't understand everyone's ideas, especially the one in the capital.

The most important thing now is to find the two locations and deal with the people behind the scenes.

"It seems that we really have to act separately this time." Yun Zihai said.

The two locations are extremely far apart. If you go the right way and happen to meet the people behind the scenes, then everything will be fine.

But if you go the wrong way and don't meet the people behind the scenes, the time wasted in the middle can easily lead to major events.

"I'm in a group with Chu Yu, and you're in a group with Qin Feng. Black robes, you and Yun Zihai, Qin Feng and the others." Xu Bai said.

Black robe man: "..."

Although I'm wearing a black robe, I'm not called Black Robe!

Qin Feng heard this and shook his head decisively: "I'm following my cousin, I'm protecting her."

Xu Bai quickly shook his head and said: "Are you stronger or am I stronger?"

Qin Feng was slightly stunned, and then kept silent.

Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was already very clear, he couldn't beat Xu Bai.

"It's better to follow me than to follow you." Xu Bai said.

"Then I'll follow you." Qin Feng said again.

After this sentence came out, everyone present frowned.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "You have no choice. If you follow me again, how will Brother Yun deal with it?"

Qin Feng still didn't say anything.

Yun Zihai wanted to persuade him, but Chu Yu spoke unexpectedly.

"Cousin, it's safe for me to follow the young master." Chu Yu said, "And the person behind the scenes can only go to one place. As long as one of us finds that we have missed the opportunity, we will try our best to rush there, and the other party will hold us back."

Qin Feng's face showed a tangled look.

His mission is to protect Chu Yu's safety, but in the current situation, the safest way is to distribute it equally, and he also understands this truth.

He and Chu Yu are together, both of them are flying swords, and they also have shortcomings.

But... if this is the case, how can we rest assured?

"I am stronger than you, I can't protect you, and you can't protect me either. If you follow me directly, I will go to Yun Zihai." Xu Bai didn't force it, but every word hit Qin Feng's point.

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Feng finally nodded and agreed.

"Okay, let's go!" Xu Bai put away half of the map and jade, and walked in one direction with Chu Yu.

Yun Zihai and the other two walked in another direction.

...

As they rushed to their destination, the masked man was moving quickly in the secret tunnel.

"How could the strong wind back then build such a fancy tunnel!"

As he hurried on, the masked man cursed secretly.

There were too many forks in this tunnel, and many places had to be detoured. Fortunately, he had remembered them, otherwise he would have gotten lost here sooner or later.

"I hope it's in time."

Thinking of this, the masked man quickened his pace.

As time went by, the masked man was getting closer and closer to his destination.

When he crossed a fork in the road again, he came to a wider space.

Under this space, there were coffins, densely packed and countless.

Because it was dark below, the masked man could only rely on the torch in his hand to illuminate.

Under the illumination of the torch, the coffin looked extremely gloomy.

"Finally here."

Hanging the torch on the wall, the masked man took off the mask on his face by the light of the flame.

Under the mask, there was a face full of knife wounds, which looked extremely terrifying.

"That day, you, Da Chu, destroyed my Da Feng. I didn't expect that I would join the Dark Tower." The masked man murmured to himself: "Today, Da Feng's guilty minister will let the entire Yunlai Mansion be buried with the dead Da Feng soldiers."

He couldn't help but think of the past, and thought of many things.

There is a saying that no matter how bad something is, there is always someone who likes it.

Da Feng was rotten to the core, but there were always Da Feng's ministers who still showed loyalty.

The masked man was one of them.

After escaping by chance, he joined the Dark Tower in order to deal with Da Chu.

Today, he thought that he could avenge his previous shame.

"I, the guilty minister, will destroy half of Yunlai City with this broken body!" The masked man raised his foot and stomped hard on the ground.

The energy was transformed into the unique Feng Shui power of the Feng Shui master. Under the guidance of the masked man, the Feng Shui energy of the entire space was driven.

"It takes time to destroy them. Please help me. Feng Shui formation, hundreds of corpses rise!"

The masked man pinched his hand seal, and the Feng Shui power suddenly changed, becoming extremely smelly.

But he was in it, but he had no perception.

At this time, the coffins on the ground shook, and the corpses without bones floated in the air like boiled noodles.

The gloomy feeling kept surrounding.

This is one of the abilities of the Feng Shui master, borrowing the fate of the dead.

The masked man sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes.

There were Feng Shui powers on his body, which were constantly being withdrawn.

After a long while, his body was gradually fading.

In the blink of an eye, the masked man became translucent and floated in the air.

He opened his eyes and shook his head.

"Not enough, far from enough, I need to borrow the life of a living person... Wait! Is Xu Bai here? Okay, okay, I will borrow your life, hahaha!"

The laughter echoed, and in the laughter, the masked man gradually disappeared.

...

Outside a passage, Xu Bai looked at the dark light inside and sighed: "I miscalculated, I didn't bring a torch."
