Chapter 156 Feng Shui and the Qian Family’s Generous Gift (8000)

Xu Bai did not expect that the other party would refuse so decisively. In his opinion, even if he refused, he would be a little more tactful.

But seeing the head of the Qian family in front of him, it was obvious that his words seemed to have touched his pain point.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai was about to speak, but he did not expect that the head of the Qian family spoke again, and this time, it was still an extremely serious refusal.

"If it is other things, as long as Lord Xu speaks, we will definitely give help, but this matter is out of the question. Lord Xu must know the current situation of our family before coming, so we will never touch Feng Shui." The head of the Qian family said very decisively.

Xu Bai touched his chin: "Even if it is just a little bit of use, it's not okay?"

The head of the Qian family shook his head vigorously: "Lord Xu is a sensible person. If we use it, the whole family will die. This is absolutely not allowed."

Xu Bai sighed.

He also understood that the other party did have difficulties, and these difficulties were very big.

If the power of Feng Shui is used, the whole family is prone to fall into the crisis of sudden death. This situation is particularly rare, but also particularly serious.

Xu Bai is not an unreasonable person. The other party did not offend him. He still explained the reason to him clearly. Of course, he would not force it.

Thinking of this, he was ready to leave first. After all, under this situation, the Qian family would definitely not help. It is better to go back and think of other ways.

But he didn't expect that before he could say it, there were waves of boiling sounds outside the door.

A member in ordinary clothes ran in from outside. Because he was too flustered, he was tripped by the threshold on the way and fell to the ground. After falling to the ground.

He didn't care, and crawled over from the ground with his hands and feet, and said with an anxious tone.

"Master, this is bad. My uncle wanted to study the power of Feng Shui, but he failed halfway through. Now he has not much time left."

"What! Didn't I tell you? Only I can study it. Don't let them do it. It's too dangerous. Why don't you listen?" Master Qian's face changed and he hurried out the door.

He seemed to have something very important to do now. He didn't even bother to say goodbye to Xu Pai. He left in a hurry. The family member who came in to report just now stood up and followed Master Qian in a panic.

Ye Zi said, "It is true. Even a family favored by His Majesty the Emperor still wants to regain its former vitality."

Xu Bai pushed the teacup in his hand aside: "What do you mean?"

Ye Zi's eyes moved and he said softly, "Sir, it is obvious that they want to regain their former glory. They must also be studying Feng Shui, but they just don't use it. But if they really study it, there must be some risks. This is what I deduced from what he said just now."

Xu Bai thought for a moment and said, "Follow them and see."

Studying the power of Feng Shui, so to speak, she seemed to have seen a hint of a method, but she still needed to see if it could be what he thought.

The two went out and rushed in the direction of the boiling sound.

...

It must be said that the Qian family is really luxurious. After all, it was because of the emperor's affairs that the entire family was pressed on it, so the emperor took special care of the Qian family. Take the courtyard for example, ordinary wealthy families really don't have such a big one.

Following the direction of the sound, after walking for a long time, Xu Bai and Ye Zi finally found the location.

At this moment, the open space in front was already filled with members of the Qian family. They surrounded the place in three layers. From the outside, it looked like there was no way in. You couldn't see anything at all.

From time to time, there were cries coming from inside. It was very miserable to the ears, and it was unbearable to look at it. At the same time, it was mixed with the voice of the head of the Qian family.

"Why don't you listen to me? This matter is very dangerous. Only I can study it, but you just don't listen to me. Now I can't do anything about it." The voice of the head of the Qian family was filled with extremely bitter taste.

"Head, you have paid too much for the Qian family. That day, you even suffered a backlash because of your research and fell directly to the fourth rank. I can't bear to see you like this." The voice was weak and out of breath. It always felt that he would die after the next sentence.

The head of the Qian family continued to speak, and most of what he said was regret and uneasiness. At this time, the person who had been answering him spoke less and less, and finally turned into a scream, and completely lost his voice.

"Uncle!"

Some members cried bitterly, infecting the people around them. The cries became louder and louder, spreading around.

After a while, a path was cleared in the crowd. Two family members carried a stretcher covered with a black cloth. The head of the Qian family followed behind, with a sad look on his face.

At this time, the head of the Qian family also saw Xu Bai who had not left from the path.

After a slight pause, the head of the Qian family wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, forced himself to cheer up, and walked to Xu Bai's side.

"Things happened too quickly at home. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Xu."

"It's okay." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Please be patient. The dead cannot be resurrected. Don't be too sad. Bury him properly."

The head of the Qian family nodded and agreed.

"I just heard that you are still studying Feng Shui. I wonder how you are studying it?" Xu Bai asked.

The head of the Qian family thought Xu Bai was just saying some polite words, so he didn't think much about it. He took out a worn-out ancient book from his arms and said, "This is a book passed down in the family. If it is cultivated to perfection, it is equivalent to the first-grade level."

"It's just that I am dull. Even at the peak, I only stepped half a foot into the first grade. Now because of what happened that day, I am only at the fourth grade."

"If I can study to the peak, it should be able to solve our predicament, so I have been studying it."

"Because of the backlash we suffered, we must be careful, like walking on a tightrope on a cliff, but what I didn't expect was that he would copy my book and study it secretly."

"Now it's good, the person can't be saved, all this is fate!"

As he spoke, the head of the Qian family shook his head and sighed, his tone full of sadness.

Xu Bai listened to all these words, but his eyes did not change at all, staring straight at the book in the hands of the head of the Qian family.

The head of the Qian family was still talking there. The sudden loss of a family member was a big blow to him.

Moreover, this family member was also a good hand in the family, so he spoke a lot without noticing Xu Bai's expression.

Xu Bai took advantage of the time when the head of the Qian family said these words, and it seemed that he thought of something, and he suddenly had a perfect plan.

There was a golden progress bar on this book.

Studying the essence of this book and studying it to the most perfect state can help them solve the current dilemma?

Isn't this his strength?

Needless to say, he certainly won't study this matter, and he doesn't understand it.

But he is familiar with the progress bar!

No one knows the progress bar better than him!

So this is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. If he can take this opportunity to get the progress bar down, won't he have the skills of Feng Shui?

And it can also help the Qian family solve the dilemma. A step back, even if the dilemma is not solved, he can also obtain the skills of Feng Shui and don't have to come to the Qian family again.

"I can help you." Xu Bai said abruptly.

At this time, the head of the Qian family was still talking, but Xu Bai's sudden words disrupted all his words. He even doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

Can help him?

What do you mean by can help him? Can you help him solve the current predicament of the family?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

In this day and age, who else can understand the matter of solving the family's predicament better than him.

The head of the Qian family smiled bitterly and said: "Master Xu, there is no need to say these things. I also understand Master Xu's feelings, but now is not the time to say these things!"

Xu Bai pointed at the book of the head of the Qian family and said: "You just need to give me the book and give me ten days. If I can't help you solve the current predicament, I won't lose anything at that time. I will return the book to you. How about it?"

Ten days, because Xu Bai can't estimate how long it will take for the time being. Because this is a first-grade book, equivalent to the ninth level, he has never touched a first-grade book, so it is difficult to estimate for the time being.

The head of the Qian family was stunned, looking down at the book in his hand, not knowing how to answer.

From what the other party said, it seemed that he was very confident, but should he really do what the other party said?

He didn't care about giving the book to Xu Bai, after all, he had many copies of this book in his hand.

And Xu Bai...

To be honest, even if the head of the Qian family didn't believe Xu Bai, he still believed in His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, the entire Qian family had given everything for the emperor, and the reason they did so was because they were absolutely loyal to the emperor, so at this moment, a person trusted by the emperor, his Qian family also absolutely trusted.

Forget it, let's try it out.

The head of the Qian family finally figured it out. After all, in this desperate situation, a person who trusted the emperor suddenly found him and said that he could help him solve the current predicament, and he would definitely be willing to do it.

Thinking of this, the head of the Qian family gritted his teeth and handed over the book in his hand very decisively.

Xu Bai was slightly surprised. He thought he would have to talk more, but he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, and from the look of it, there was no hesitation at all.

"Sir Xu, if you can help the Qian family solve the current predicament, you will be the benefactor of my entire family." The head of the Qian family said seriously.

Xu Bai took it in his hand, looked at the slowly growing progress bar on it, and said slowly.

"Although I can't guarantee it absolutely, I will definitely give you an answer within ten days. Whether it succeeds or not, the book will be returned to its original owner."

The head of the Qian family raised his hands and clasped his fists and said, "I'll trouble Sir Xu for this matter."

Xu Bai nodded.

He was also very anxious now. After all, it seemed that the solution must involve the Feng Shui master.

Now that he had the Feng Shui master's book, he just wanted to go back and get the contents of the book as soon as possible.

So after getting what he wanted, he did not stay any longer. After exchanging a few words with the head of the Qian family, he took Ye Zi to the inn.

Along the way, he looked down at the progress bar in his hand from time to time, and only put the book aside after returning to the inn.

He also thought about it for a while, temporarily putting the heavy sword method aside, and first using his energy to get the current Feng Shui book out.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai did not stop, and seized the time to get the progress bar in front of him.

…

While Xu Bai was working on the progress bar, a small alley far away from the bustling streets of Fenghuazhou had gathered a large group of people at this moment.

These people were dressed in ordinary clothes of various styles. If they were scattered, they would be some ordinary people in the city.

But at this moment, they all gathered together, a large mass of black people.

Fortunately, these people knew that no one made a sound, and the whole alley seemed unusually quiet.

In front of this group of people stood a man wearing linen clothes and with an ordinary appearance.

There was no special feature on this man, except that his hands looked unusually rough, and there was a lot of dirt in his nails.

But this was not particularly obvious to ordinary people, after all, the dirt in the nails was also very common on ordinary people.

Of course, if you know what this person does, these dirt are no longer ordinary.

Gravediggers deal with various tombs all year round, which is equivalent to dealing with various soils. Some gravediggers are used to using tools, while some gravediggers trust their hands more. Obviously, the gravedigger in front of him trusts his hands more.

"Everyone, I have a very bad news to tell you. The Tong family is gone. They all died in an accident. As for how they died, they should have been chased on the way out of Fenghuazhou." The gravedigger walked back and forth for a while before speaking slowly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a breath of cold air. Although they didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces were very interesting.

"You also know what this means. It means that we have lost our insider in Fenghuazhou, and it also means that the one who killed this Tong family member must be Xu Bai."

"After all, only Xu Bai would suddenly attack our people, so I can be sure that the Tong family has been exposed. As for how it was exposed, I suspect that there is a ghost here."

The gravedigger is not a fool. He has never sent anyone to provoke Xu Bai during this period, and it is even more impossible to leave any clues.

But this inexplicably exposed the only insider of the Tong family. So, apart from the ghost, he can't think of any other reason.

The people present looked at each other and didn't speak. At this time, no matter what they said, they would become the target of everyone's attention.

The gravedigger continued, "Time is very urgent. I don't have time to play the long game and slowly find out who the traitor is, so I won't investigate anymore."

"But it doesn't mean my plan will be shelved. Now everyone, leave with me."

"I hope that the traitor knows a little bit and doesn't tip off the secret at this time, otherwise I will let him know what it means to live a life worse than death."

With that, the gravedigger walked straight in one direction without waiting for these people to speak.

The rest of the people looked at each other, but in the end, they didn't say much, and followed the gravedigger with their heads down.

There were a lot of people, but they were all scattered in piles.

And because this was originally a remote alley, located on the edge of the entire city, it didn't take long for them to successfully get out of the city and come to a wilderness.

At this time, they had gathered together and, under the leadership of the gravedigger, rushed quickly in one direction.

In the crowd, an ordinary-looking man was walking quietly inside. He looked up at the person in front of him, but in the end, he didn't say anything and followed silently.

Soon, they came to an inconspicuous hilltop.

"Everyone, you stay here. From now on, I hope you don't leave, and the traitor, it's best not to leak the news." The gravedigger said slowly.

"Since I told this matter, I also hope that everyone will monitor each other. After all, my energy is limited and it is impossible to be comprehensive, but you can help me. If you don't want your whereabouts to be exposed, it's best to do your best to monitor the people around you."

The eyes of the people present were stagnant, and then they looked at the people around them, full of vigilance.

The gravedigger smiled, found a place, and sat down.

There is nothing better than taking advantage of people's suspicion to get things done, which is more effective than him spending energy to monitor.

The sun gradually set, and time gradually slipped away.

In a blink of an eye, several days passed.

At this time, in the inn, Xu Bai stared at the Feng Shui book in front of him, his eyes fixed.

The progress bar was slowly growing, and after about a quarter of an hour, the last bit of progress bar reached perfection.

Light blue smoke appeared in front of his eyes, gradually condensed into a line of text, and finally appeared in front of Xu Bai.

Feng Shui book, it's done!

[You observe the four-character Feng Shui secret technique and comprehend the four-character Feng Shui secret technique. ]

When this line of text appeared in front of him, it did not turn into information as expected, but disappeared directly.

This scene was very familiar to Xu Bai.

This was a sign of fusion, but he was very confused in his heart. Under this situation, which skill would be fused?

Regarding the ability of Feng Shui, he didn't seem to have any skills in this area. With such doubts, he waited patiently.

Soon, the disappeared light blue smoke reappeared, twisted, and gathered into new text in the air.

[Found the fusion option, fusion is in progress. ]

[Four-character Feng Shui secret technique + human calculation scripture = Feng Shui calculation. ]

[Fusion successful! ]

The next moment, when the words "Fusion Success" appeared, the light blue text disappeared and turned into information that entered Xu Bai's mind. The content about Feng Shui was gradually digested by him.

The latest panel appeared in front of him.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Third-Rank Wanderer. ]

[Five Styles of Yi Dao (Level 7): Full Level. ]

[Inverted Purple Sky Gangfeng Yin Yang Qu (Level 7.5): Full Level. ]

[Returning Wind and Flowing Snow (Level 5): Full Level. ]

[Practice Breaking Four Turns (Level 6): Full Level. ]

[Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees (Level 8): Full Level. ]

[Vajra Heart Demon Body (Level 4): Full Level. ]

[Strong Kidney Collection Technique (Level 5): Full Level. ]

[True Solution of Hundred Poisons (Level 3): Full Level. ]

[Mechanical Puppet Technique (Level 6): Full Level. ]

[Immortal Body (Residual) (Level 6): Full Level. ]

[Water Adaptation Method (Level 5): Full Level. ]

[Feng Shui Calculation (Level 9): Full Level. ]

[Comprehension: Full Level. ]

…

Level 9 skill, equivalent to Level 1 skill.

Xu Bai absorbed the information in his mind and opened his eyes.

This fusion was very powerful. Not only did he have the Level 9 Feng Shui skill, but because of the fusion, his fortune-telling ability was also improved to Level 9.

At this time, although the type of fortune-telling was not improved, it was still tracking and predicting good and bad luck, but now this fortune-telling ability can even predict the good and bad luck of a Level 1 master, and the fortune-telling has also been greatly improved.

He finally knew why the two skills could be integrated. After all, Feng Shui and fortune-telling are both relatively close categories.

Xu Bai carefully recalled the information in his mind, and finally he had figured out how to solve the situation of the Qian family.

Because the Qian family suffered a backlash from their luck, they could not use the power of Feng Shui again, otherwise they would cause disasters.

But according to the skills acquired so far, there is a solution.

After all, Feng Shui has to be used to solve the backlash of Feng Shui.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai took out a piece of paper and wrote down a variety of countermeasures on it.

This is a Feng Shui formation, a first-grade Feng Shui formation.

In fact, there are first-grade Feng Shui masters in the Great Chu Kingdom, but they are not the same as the Qian family, so it is also difficult to solve. Even if they are of the same type, there is a slight difference, which is like the difference between heaven and earth.

Xu Bai is different. His Feng Shui skills come from the Qian family, so he can solve it easily.

This Feng Shui formation is also the strongest Feng Shui formation in the Feng Shui Arithmetic skill, named Changing the World.

The power of Changing the World is that it can change bad luck to good luck and good luck to bad luck.

The materials required for this Feng Shui certificate are not ordinary materials, but he believes that the Qian family, such a long-standing family, must have a lot of heritage.

"In this way, their problem is solved. It only takes time to adjust slowly."

The backlash suffered by the Qian family has not been one or two days. There is a saying that goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes like pulling a thread. The same is true for changing the world.

After doing all this, he put down the pen in his hand and put the paper away.

After a while, Xu Bai suddenly had an idea.

He used Feng Shui arithmetic on Ye Zi.

A golden compass appeared in front of him, and there were even waves of Feng Shui power on the compass.

Xu Bai closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

After a while, he opened his eyes.

Ye Zi was sitting quietly aside. When she felt Xu Bai's gaze, she suddenly felt hairy all over, as if Xu Bai had seen through her whole body.

It was not the feeling of having her clothes seen through, but that her inner self was seen through by Xu Bai.

"Sir, what are you doing..."

"I calculated your fate, predicted your luck, and even looked at your Feng Shui." Xu Bai said with a smile.

Ye Zi asked curiously: "Sir, did you calculate anything?"

"Very big, very big." Xu Bai said mysteriously: "A sign of great fortune."

It is indeed a sign of great fortune. Apart from that, there is not even a trace of bad luck.

Ye Zi pursed his lips and smiled: "I am the young master's man, of course it is a sign of great fortune. After all, the young master is a very lucky person."

Xu Bai touched Ye Zi's head and prepared to test himself again.

In fact, up to now, he has not had a particularly good understanding of his background. Whether it is the various wonderful things he encountered before, or the last time in the Monster City, it shows the extraordinaryness of his golden finger.

Now that he has such a powerful skill, of course he has to try it first.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai used Feng Shui calculations on himself.

The next moment, Xu Bai was stunned.

He tried it, but there was no result. Everything about him was shrouded in fog and he couldn't see anything.

As for good and bad luck...

This can be seen, it is also a sign of great fortune.

As for Feng Shui... it is still shrouded in a fog.

The so-called Feng Shui is not only for objects, but also for people living in this world, which itself occupies the Feng Shui pattern.

But he is indeed a fog.

This means that he cannot use Feng Shui to change his own destiny, or the current first-grade skill is not enough to change his destiny.

"Gan! In other words, my Feng Shui skill can only be used on others, or in specific scenes." Xu Bai suddenly felt that he was a bit at a disadvantage, but after thinking about it, it was not a big disadvantage.

Feng Shui formation is an extremely insidious skill. If you are not happy with others, you can arrange it at will in that person's house and ruin the other person's Feng Shui. The consequences are self-evident.

"Forget it, it's a first-grade skill anyway." Xu Bai said secretly.

Now that the skill is satisfied, he doesn't want to stay any longer, so he quickly greets Ye Zi and rushes towards the Qian family.

Along the way, he didn't encounter any other things, and he came to the Qian family smoothly. When he arrived, the head of the Qian family came quickly.

"Master Xu, do you have a solution?" The head of the Qian family said anxiously.

He couldn't help being anxious. He was like an ant on a hot pot now.

When there was no hope before, he was not as anxious as he is now. He just studied step by step, but now that he has hope, he is more anxious than anyone else.

Xu Bai saw the expression of the head of the Qian family, and without saying much, he took out the paper and handed it to the head of the Qian family: "You should have the materials on it, but it may take some time to completely relieve it. It may be three years, it may be five years, but it will definitely not exceed five years."

This is just like curing a disease, how can it be simple.

The head of the Qian family hurriedly opened the paper, and when he saw the content on it, he was stunned on the spot.

"This... this..."

Although the head of the Qian family has fallen to the fourth level due to the change of fate and the research.

But he still has a vision, and he can see the beauty of it at a glance. This is indeed the place that can solve his family's problems.

"Enough, enough!" The Qian family head trembled with excitement as he held the paper. "I've waited for so many years, and I don't care about these three to five years. In comparison, these three to five years are too short."

"That's good. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll leave." Xu Bai said with a smile.

This is actually a business deal. Now that the deal has been completed, he should go and deal with his own business.

"Plop!"

At this moment, the Qian family head carefully put the paper in his arms, then tidied his clothes, knelt in front of Xu Bai, and kowtowed three times solemnly.

"Qian family head, you must not do that." Xu Bai turned his body slightly and did not accept the gift.

In terms of etiquette, the Great Chu State naturally has a set of rules. When the other party gives you a great gift, if you can deserve it, just accept it with pleasure.

If you can't, either avoid it or turn sideways to accept a half gift.

In Xu Bai's view, he was just doing his own business. Others gave him books, and he worked hard on the progress bar. Now he helped others solve problems, and there was no one who owed anyone.

He had his own scale in his heart, which was also a principle. If a person lost his principles, he would no longer be called a person.

"Sir Xu, from now on, you are the great benefactor of my family!" The head of the Qian family raised his head and burst into tears.

At the beginning, they were willing to bear everything for the emperor.

But they are all people in special businesses, so why don't they want to continue this business?

Carrying on the family line and continuing the family business are deeply rooted in the hearts of each of them, so until now, they have not given up.

But every experiment was fruitless.

Now, Xu Bai has solved their problem, which is the greatest grace for their family.

"Get up." Xu Bai had no choice but to help the head of the Qian family up.

"Come here!" The head of the Qian family suddenly thought of something and said, "Bring the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map!"

A member was waiting outside. After hearing what the head of the Qian family said, he was stunned on the spot. After a long time, he left with a shocked face.

"Head of the Qian family, what do you mean?" Xu Bai frowned.

The head of the Qian family held Xu Bai's hand and pulled him to sit down. Then he said: "My Qian family has clear grudges. You helped me a lot in this matter. I have no way to repay you. I can only give you a small gift.

It's a pity that this formation will take three to five years to grind away the backlash on us. I also heard that Lord Xu wants to deal with things with Feng Shui, so there is something that can help Lord Xu."

"Oh?" Xu Bai became interested.

While the two of them were talking, the family member finally walked in with a scroll in his hand.

When Xu Bai saw the scroll, his eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel that there was a huge Feng Shui power contained in the scroll.

The head of the Qian family took it and said slowly: "Lord Xu, people have ranks, and things also have ranks. I see that the knife in your hand is a fourth-rank item, and my Yin-Yang Feng Shui map is a first-rank item."

"Since the difficulties Lord Xu is currently facing are related to Feng Shui, the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map is an excellent treasure."

"Lord Xu, may I ask if that Feng Shui book has been cultivated to the peak?"

Xu Bai nodded and said: "The Qian family's Feng Shui book is indeed powerful. To be honest, I have mastered it thoroughly."

"In this case, Lord Xu can use it." The head of the Qian family handed the Yin-Yang map to Xu Bai and said: "Lord Xu, you can feel it carefully."

Xu Bai was slightly stunned. Seeing that the Qian family was keeping it a secret, he did not ask directly, but played with the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map in his hand and felt it patiently.

The true energy flowed and slowly flowed into the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map.

The next moment, Xu Bai raised his head with a surprised face.

Good stuff!
