Chapter 157 Candles in the Tomb (8000)

"It would be embarrassing if I accepted such a valuable thing." Xu Bai said with a smile.

Although he said so, Xu Bai had been holding the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map in his hand, and he had never returned it.

He now had a first-grade Feng Shui skill, so he naturally knew the benefits of this thing. Apart from other things, just reaching the first-grade level, the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map was a rare treasure.

The function was very simple. As long as it was a first-grade Feng Shui formation, and as long as the user knew that kind of Feng Shui formation, it could be performed through the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map, including the formation of changing the world.

The Feng Shui formation of the Great Chu State required various layouts, and many of the materials required for the layout were very valuable, and even out of stock.

But with this Yin-Yang Feng Shui map, there was no need for such trouble.

He could make ordinary objects conform to the effect of the Feng Shui formation, and this function was simply invincible.

To give a very simple example, if Xu Bai wanted to arrange a Feng Shui formation, he only needed to use the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map to arrange it well.

Of course, such a buggy thing also has huge flaws. The flaw is that the Feng Shui map cannot be too far away from the Feng Shui array, otherwise the effect it casts will disappear, and expensive materials are still needed to arrange it.

But for Xu Bai, this shortcoming is not a shortcoming. If he is in battle, he cannot collect materials first, so he can use this map to arrange a Feng Shui array.

The role of arranging a Feng Shui array is also very simple. Feng Shui is actually related to numerology.

For example, using a Feng Shui array to ruin the opponent's luck during a battle, regardless of the opponent's strength, every time you fight with him, you may have bad luck. Although it is very mysterious, it will have a decisive effect after it really works.

To put it simply, there is no need for CD, no mandatory prerequisites, and it is directly an instant skill.

The head of the Qian family listened to Xu Bai's polite words, and saw that Xu Bai had no intention of returning it, and his mouth twitched slightly.

Of course, these little actions seemed unnecessary to him, because when he decided to send the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map, he had already made up his mind not to ask for it back.

"Master Xu, what you have done is a huge favor to the Qian family, comparable to the weight of a mountain. Giving a Yin-Yang Feng Shui map to Master Xu is simply too light." The head of the Qian family said.

Whether it is light or not, only he knows. In this day and age, nothing is important, what is important is favor. He returned this favor, which is also worth it.

"In this case, thank you very much." Xu Bai handed the map in his hand to the fourth-grade puppet. After the fourth-grade puppet put it away, he said: "I have something important to do, so I won't bother you anymore."

The head of the Qian family nodded, got up and sent Xu Bai out the door. Along the way, he kept thanking him. It was not until Xu Bai disappeared at the end that he looked at the street in the distance and fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty has a good vision. No wonder he lost face and competed with the prince. I don't know what the prince is thinking. Now it seems that if Xu Bai goes directly to the capital, the prince may not even get a sip of soup."

There was no one around, but he was talking. Just when he said this, the invisible air twisted and a man in black appeared.

"He is very strong and has discovered me, proving that he has extraordinary qualities in terms of spirit and soul, but he also understands the ways of the world and did not point out my existence."

The man in black said indifferently.

"Will you go back to the capital?" The head of the Qian family smiled and said, "A master of the first rank was used to protect me. If it gets out, you may feel very wronged."

"Your Majesty said that as long as the Great Chu State is still there, he will be responsible for the safety of your Qian family. I will not go back." The man in black shook his head and said.

The head of the Qian family smiled and said, "What do you think it will be useful for him to go to the capital?"

The man in black shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"The Heaven Supervisor doesn't even know. It seems that His Majesty has a lot of plans this time." The head of the Qian family turned around and walked towards the yard, saying as he walked: "Can you beat him?"

"I will die in a life-and-death battle." The man in black followed behind him.

The head of the Qian family was slightly surprised: "A first-class master, who is also good at bloody battles, actually said that he would die in the hands of a third-class master."

The man in black did not answer, but his performance was very clear, he did not lie.

"It seems that this time, those royal families may be disturbed by Xu Bai alone, and I guess His Majesty is willing to see it."

In the eyes of the head of the Qian family, there is no other young man with such strong strength and so many abilities in this world. Perhaps this trip to the capital, Xu Bai can turn the world upside down.

"So, you just mentioned the prince, I guess the prince is not a stupid person, and he must have a plan." The man in black said.

The head of the Qian family was amused: "When has the prince ever been able to snatch the throne from His Majesty? I have seen that he has always been at a disadvantage since the beginning of the competition with His Majesty, except for the throne. Both of them gave way to each other, and in the end, the prince was slightly better and lost the throne to His Majesty."

The man in black tightly shut his mouth. These were all secrets of the royal family, and he didn't want to hear more.

"It's getting old. The world now belongs to the young. I'm afraid that those old guys in the capital this time don't want to retire peacefully. It will probably be a good show."

"Bang!"

The door closed, and the voice of the head of the Qian family was no longer heard.

...

Xu Bai didn't know what happened afterwards. In fact, he had discovered the existence of the man in black since he entered the Qian family.

But he didn't interfere too much, because he could feel that the head of the Qian family knew the man in black, and the man in black didn't show too much murderous intent towards him.

As for the identity of the man in black, Xu Bai also guessed it easily. It was probably the person who protected the safety of the Qian family.

So he didn't interfere too much, not to mention that he had more important things to do now.

Xu Bai didn't go back to the inn, but went around Fenghuazhou directly.

After having the Feng Shui Sutra, everything in front of him became no longer ordinary in front of him.

To give a simple example, he usually takes a walk in this city, just ordinary shopping.

But now, everything around him has become a huge Feng Shui formation in his eyes, whether it is a brick, a tile, or a blade of grass, it is all arranged in this formation.

This Feng Shui formation can improve the fortune of Fenghuazhou.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, the so-called seeing the micro to know the big, at this moment, Xu Bai has already known that there is absolutely no so-called big tomb here.

After all, he is now also a master in this field. Just one glance can see clearly that there is no such thing in the city of Fenghuazhou, which means that there is probably one outside.

"Go outside the city." Xu Bai said.

Ye Zi said nothing. She knew that Xu Bai was doing serious work, so she was very obedient. After Xu Bai finished speaking, she followed behind silently.

The two people and the puppet quickly left the city. They walked around the city, and Xu Bai only looked at it from a distance and knew a lot about the follow-up of Feng Shui.

Since it is a big tomb, before burial, Feng Shui related things must be used, so Xu Bai can determine whether it exists with just one look.

After a circle, he did not find anything unusual. Xu Bai stood at the gate of the city, touching his chin with his hand, thinking secretly.

According to this carpet search, it seems to be a waste of time. If it continues to waste like this, it is better to stay at home and work on the progress bar in his hand.

He tried to use his true energy to perform arithmetic again, but unexpectedly, the calculated things were also very slim. The other party did not seem to leave many clues in the Tong family.

It is correct to think about it carefully. After all, the Tong family is in the city, which is relatively more dangerous.

If too many clues are left, it is easy to be encountered by some strange people. At that time, it is estimated that the enemy will notice it.

"Very cautious!" Xu Bai thought.

Just as he was thinking secretly, a strange man came towards him. This strange man walked straight towards Xu Bai without stopping halfway.

He also noticed the situation here, looking up and down at the young stranger. He guessed the other party's identity. He must be the soul controller who came to find him at this time.

As expected, the young man stopped in front of Xu Bai, looked up and down, and made an excited sound from his mouth.

"Finally found you, I have important information here!"

"Soul controller?"

Without waiting for the young man to speak again, Xu Bai asked what he was thinking.

"Yes." There was a transparent silk thread on the young man's arm. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find it. When Xu Bai asked this question, he quickly answered.

"It took so long to contact you. It seems that your status there is not high." Xu Bai's words were full of ridicule. He looked up and down at the young man, but secretly drew with his index finger.

He had just performed Feng Shui arithmetic, but did not calculate any useful information. It seems that this business does have a special ability to block related calculations.

"Master Xu, you don't have to mock me like this. I won't say more. Now I have a very important piece of information to give you." The young man stretched out his hand, fiddled with it in his arms, and finally took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Bai.

Xu Bai took it and looked it up and down. Only then did he realize that it was a map drawn on it. In the center of the map was a particularly obvious black dot.

"It was just drawn. It seems that it has not been long since I got this information."

The ink on the paper was not dry yet. When I gently wiped it with my hand, I could still feel a damp touch. From this point of view, it was not long since the map on this paper was drawn.

"That is the final location." The young man was manipulated and gradually walked away, leaving only one sentence.

After a long while, the surroundings were still quiet.

Ye Zi asked: "Young Master, do you need to go over and take a look?"

Xu Bai nodded and said: "Of course we have to go over and take a look. Whether he is real or fake, isn't there a clue in front of us now?"

If it was before, Xu Bai might be more cautious, but now that he has the skill of Feng Shui, he really wants to see what the other party thinks.

Ye Zi smiled and said, "Do we need to find someone from the Jiang family?"

Xu Bai shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.

The two people and the puppet did not stay any longer, and rushed directly in the direction of the map.

...

After leaving the city, the outside became a wilderness. Xu Bai kept his pace and hurried all the way, and finally came to a small hill.

This small hill did not look high, and the whole hill gave people a sense of being ordinary. Xu Bai stopped in front and looked at the small hill not far away, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Under the operation of the true energy, the Feng Shui Sutra appeared on his body, and waves of Feng Shui power rose and fell, surging out like waves.

In front of him, this small hill no longer looked ordinary, but a great Feng Shui pattern.

"Yes, it is indeed a good place for burial." Xu Bai said slowly.

Ye Zi did not understand these, crossed his hands, placed them on his lower abdomen, and stood behind Xu Bai.

The fourth-grade puppet carried a huge package and stood guard beside.

This was a very strange combination, but in the strangeness, there was a wonderful fusion.

"Let's go and take a look." Xu Bai took a step and walked towards the mountain.

...

Deep in the mountains.

At this moment, the large group of people were still waiting there.

The leader had his hands behind his back, and the dirt under his fingernails was extremely eye-catching.

In the middle of this group of people, there was an inconspicuous man surrounded by everyone.

This man had an ordinary appearance and nothing unusual, but at this moment, he was surrounded by these people and seemed to be alone. However, this man did not show the slightest panic on his face. If you look closely, there are transparent silk threads on his limbs.

"It seems that I am shortsighted." The leader said in a flat tone: "You are not a soul controller at all, but a mortician. I really don't understand why you betrayed me?"

"At this point, I have done what I should do, or just kill me." The man said in a flat tone.

The leader chuckled.

"Haha, it is said that embalmers are more advanced than soul controllers, and can control both the living and the dead. I really want to know, since you are planning to join our group, why do you want to do such a thing?"

"Are you not satisfied with the status quo and want to surrender to the emperor?"

The man heard this and said with disdain: "Don't compare me with the garbage of soul controllers. Embalmers are recognized by the Great Chu State, so why should I take this risk?"

"Then why?" The leader asked in confusion.

"What do you care about me?" The man didn't say much.

As soon as this sentence came out, the leader was very angry.

I'm talking to you nicely, but you are so aggressive. Do I have to give you face?

"Kill you!" The leader waved his hand.

The next moment, the people around him all attacked, and all kinds of attacks came. The man didn't resist at all, and turned into a ball of flesh and blood in the blink of an eye.

The leader couldn't be happy, because only he knew that the profession of embalmer was more advanced than that of soul controller.

He was even more cautious. The so-called man in front of him was just a corpse, a corpse mixed with spirit and soul.

He could control both the living and the dead.

There were so many unfair things in this world. They were all dealing with the dead, but they were doing things that were particularly low-level in the eyes of ordinary people, while the embalmer made the Great Chu State recognize its existence.

"Sir, it seems that our target has been exposed. Should we hide first? Otherwise, it is very likely that Xu Bai will take it down in one go." A subordinate put away his weapon, came over quietly, and asked.

The leader shook his head and said, "No need."

The subordinate was stunned, not understanding the meaning.

In his opinion, since it has been exposed, it must be avoided.

After all, up to now, Xu Bai's strength has been too strong. He has almost swept through all the way. If he does not avoid his sharp edge, he is likely to suffer a major blow.

Thinking of this, the subordinate suddenly felt a chill coming towards him.

He seemed to have guessed something.

If he did not intend to escape, he would have to fight for his life here, but according to the leader's temper, it would be absolutely impossible to do so. Could it be that they would become victims?

As soon as he thought of this, the subordinate found that the leader was looking at him, showing him that kind of sinister smile.

Before he could think more, the soil under his feet vibrated slightly. The next moment, he found that his legs felt a sharp pain. When he looked down, he found that the soil was spreading to both sides, wrapping his feet, and the tingling sensation just now was in the soil.

"This is the first level of the tomb. Tsk tsk tsk, it's really extravagant. These poisonous things were made in the first level." The leader laughed.

The position where the leader stood did not change at all, but in front of the leader, the positions occupied by the people present all had the same problem, and screams began to spread, and they screamed everywhere.

"Big tomb, you are a gravedigger!" The subordinates finally reacted and pointed at the leader and questioned angrily.

"This big tomb, use you as sacrifices." The leader said.

The soil under his feet contained highly toxic substances, which melted very quickly. In a blink of an eye, all these people turned into blood and merged into the soil.

The soil changed from earth yellow to blood red, mixed with flesh and blood, and a bloody smell came to the face, making people sick.

After a while, when everything returned to normal, except for the change in the color of the soil, it seemed quiet here. You could hear a pin drop.

The leader did not hesitate, but took out the cloth bag behind him. After opening the cloth bag, there was a shovel half a person's height.

"Although he tricked me, the final result is still the same." The leader said.

Gravediggers can use tools or their hands. The leader is in this business. The dirt in his nails is left when he digs with his hands. After a long time, there is no way to repair it.

But today is different. These soils must be used with tools. He still wants to live for two more years.

A faint black light shrouded the shovel, which looked extremely cold under the moonlight.

The leader moved very quickly. The speed of the shovel was so fast that it left an afterimage. The soil was dug up by him, and slowly, his body was gradually sinking.

In less than a moment, the leader had disappeared from the land.

Not long after the leader disappeared, a man in ordinary clothes appeared. This man was connected to a transparent silk thread. After looking back and forth, he walked down the hole in front of him.

Originally, when the leader walked down, he had wiped out the footprints around him, but this man deliberately left a string of footprints and disappeared in the hole.

…

Xu Bai was rushing towards this place. As he was walking, he suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly and frowned.

"Young Master, something seems to have happened." Ye Zi turned around and said.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Speed ​​up."

They moved faster, bypassing the dense woods and soon came to an open space.

This open space looked normal, but the bloody soil on the open space was shocking.

Not far away, there was an extremely huge hole.

The hole was slanting downwards, and there were footprints left in it. Obviously, someone had walked in.

Xu Bai performed Feng Shui Calculation. In his eyes, the Feng Shui power here was particularly strong, but looking at the hole in front of him, he was thinking about safety.

Suddenly, Xu Bai laughed.

In this dark night, his smile was slightly eerie.

Ye Zi was full of doubts: "Sir, your smile makes people panic."

Xu Bai said: "I thought of a great trick."

"Sir, what trick did you think of?" Ye Zi asked in doubt.

Xu Bai took out the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map and stretched out his hand to touch it.

A large amount of true energy poured into it. Next, with the help of the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map, a huge Feng Shui formation was formed around it, and it was centered on the Yin-Yang Feng Shui map.

He had tried it before, and the Feng Shui formation could not change his own destiny. He was a fog, but he could use it on the enemy, and this happened to be flexible.

The so-called flexibility means that it can be used not only on the enemy, but also on his own people.

Since there is an extremely huge tomb in front of him, there must be various mechanisms, which is beyond doubt.

After all, coffins are equipped with mechanisms, which is standard at any time, but the strength of the mechanisms is different.

He has the mechanism puppet technique and the ability of the mechanism, but the quality of this skill is a bit low now, and it is likely that he cannot completely prevent the danger below.

It doesn't matter if the quality is low, he has high quality.

Feng Shui Calculation is different, this is a first-grade skill.

Xu Bai can't change himself, but he can directly change Ye Zi's fate and make her luck better, isn't that much safer?

Things like luck and fate are very mysterious. If you have bad luck, you can fall into a big pit on the flat ground. If you have good luck, you can pick up money even when you go to the toilet.

Of course, this is not complete, there are many things that affect fate.

Xu Bai's current Feng Shui ability is first-grade, so the impact below the first grade is very small. If the various arrangements of the tomb in front of him exceed the scope of the first grade, the impact will become huge.

"Let's go, try it, follow this footprint first." Xu Bai said: "If there is only one road, follow the footprints. If there is a fork in the road, let's see what the situation is."

As he said, he led the way in front and walked down to the cave.

Ye Zi nodded gently, followed behind, and looked around vigilantly.

The fourth-grade puppet followed at the end, acting as a guard in the rear.

When Xu Bai stepped into it, he felt a cold wind blowing from inside, with a damp smell.

This was the first time he saw people here, so it was very damp. Even the soil under his feet felt like it was sinking deep into the air.

Fortunately, everyone was not an ordinary person, so they could see clearly even in the dark.

Following the footprints, he walked along the bottom. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and there was no abnormality. Under the Feng Shui formation, everything was moving in a good direction.

However, this good situation did not last long. After walking for less than an incense stick, something abnormal happened in front of him.

"Ka! Ka! Ka!"

Bursts of bone friction sounded, which seemed extremely creepy in this dark environment.

Xu Bai stopped, put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, looked at the darkness in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Something happened!

In front of him, there was a figure constantly flashing, looking extremely flexible, and there was also the sound of fighting coming from there.

The sound of fighting was very messy, but clear to the ears.

After a while, the sound of fighting gradually stopped, and a figure fell out of the darkness, flipped a few times, and fell to the ground, just rolling in front of Xu Bai.

Xu Bai looked at this person, especially the transparent silk thread on his body, and he already knew his identity.

"Master Xu, you arrived so quickly, great."

After this person appeared, he only said one sentence, tilted his neck, and got a box lunch.

Xu Bai: "..."

This is the fastest box lunch Xu Bai has ever seen, just said one sentence and then died.

Of course, he didn't believe that this person died just like that. After all, it was a particularly cautious business. The one in front of him must have been controlled by that person again.

Xu Bai turned his eyes and stared at the darkness in front of him. In the darkness, several strange figures flashed. At this time, Xu Bai finally saw what the other party was.

The thing that appeared was wearing ragged clothes, and it was unclear what shape it was. It could only serve as a cover.

There was no skin, and the whole body was that kind of disgusting red muscle, still squirming.

"Strange?" Xu Bai touched his chin.

It has been a long time since I saw the weirdos. Now I see them again and feel quite familiar.

The three weirdos had no consciousness and only knew how to kill. After seeing Xu Bai, they rushed towards Xu Bai directly. Obviously, they had no IQ and did not want to talk to Xu Bai.

"Very strong." Xu Bai commented lightly and pulled out the black knife Bai Lie from his waist.

The next moment, the black knife Bai Lie exploded and turned into a sky full of stars, directly piercing the three weirdos in front of him.

It took less than a breath for the three weirdos to appear and fall to the ground.

"It is indeed very strong." Xu Bai felt that it was not enough and added another sentence.

These three weirdos actually have the strength of the fourth rank, and they are just appetizers.

He is looking forward to what he will encounter next.

Ye Zi had already gotten used to this scene, but he still reminded: "Young Master, be careful. The gravedigger is probably not dead, otherwise there wouldn't be such a long passage."

"Yeah, I know." Xu Bai nodded and continued to walk inside.

At first, they encountered a few strange things, but they didn't encounter any strange things later.

After walking for a long time, the front finally opened up, and they appeared in a huge cube-shaped space.

This is no longer wet soil. The ground is paved with square bricks, the walls are also square bricks, and even the top of the head is made of square bricks.

Square, like a box, in short, it gives people a very bad feeling.

And below, there are two rows of coffins. Counting them, there are about twenty.

Each coffin is cast in bronze, which looks quite tall and majestic. Even the coffin lid is engraved with complicated patterns.

Xu Bai took a rough look and said very professionally: "This is not an important tomb, there are others."

According to the power of Feng Shui, this is not the strongest.

In the square space, a candle was lit on the coffin in the corner, and flames were burning on it.

"The gravedigger has left, but there seems to be no extra space here. I guess he covered it up." Xu Bai looked back and forth, but did not see the exit.

The equivalent of the fourth-grade mechanical puppetry did not find any abnormalities. Either there was no exit here, or the level was higher than his skill.

Xu Bai could not analyze which one it was for the time being. He did not see any forks along the way, so the gravedigger should have left quietly, and even covered up the traces of the exit.

"Sir, I heard that gravediggers have a very popular rule. When digging a grave, they will put a candle in the grave." Ye Zi said: "When touching the corpse, if the candle light changes color, you need to return the things you touched and then leave carefully."

Xu Bai thought: "You mean, he opened the coffin."

Since the candles were lit, it proved that if you want to touch the corpse, you must open the coffin.

Xu Bai suddenly thought of something.

Maybe there are exits in these coffins, that's possible.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai came to a coffin, inserted the black knife into the gap, and gently picked it up.

The seemingly heavy coffin lid was easily opened by him.

Xu Bai walked forward and looked at the corpse with only a pile of dry bones inside. He turned it over with the black knife, but did not find an exit.

He even poked the bottom of the coffin with the black knife, but there was nothing unusual.

"Continue."

He did not stop, and began to turn over the bronze coffins one by one. He opened the lid of each coffin, but there was no extra passage inside except the corpse.

He turned over all the coffins around, but the coffin with the candle in the corner was not turned over.

"Go and have a look." Xu Bai walked over.

When he inserted the black knife into the gap of the bronze coffin, suddenly, a chilling breath flowed out from the gap.

The bright flame of the candle placed on the coffin suddenly shook, and the light and shadow around it kept interweaving due to the shaking of the flame.

Xu Bai looked carefully and smiled: "This atmosphere group is quite good at making things happen. If it were someone with less courage, he might be scared to death here."

The candle placed on the coffin originally had a bright yellow flame, but as he pried open a gap in the coffin, the flame turned green at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding light also turned green. Under the green light, Xu Bai heard a soft sob coming from the coffin...
