Chapter 182 Xu Bai: The Old Witch Wants My Body (8000)
The person lying on the ground was none other than Yun Zihai.
At this moment, Yun Zihai's face was as pale as paper, and he looked extremely decadent. Even his eyes were slightly cloudy. If it weren't for his spirit, he would not look like a young man, but an old man.
Noticing Xu Bai coming in, Yun Zihai's eyes turned and naturally moved to Xu Bai's face, revealing a weak smile.
"I didn't expect it to be in this situation. I am really rude to meet Brother Xu." Yun Zihai's tone was not only helpless, but also joyful after not seeing each other for a long time.
Xu Bai's face was slightly gloomy: "Didn't you get the title of king? Why are you injured like this? Who hurt you?"
As the emperor's first experimental plan, Yun Zihai was also named a king of a different surname, and a king of a different surname with a fiefdom.
But at this moment, he was not in his fiefdom, but was taken to Qingyun Academy by the dean, and now he looked very bad.
Xu Bai thought that someone had hurt Yun Zihai, so he asked this question.
Yun Zihai shook his head gently: "If Brother Xu wants to avenge me, then forget it. I was not injured by anyone. Everything is my own fault."
Xu Bai frowned, he felt that Yun Zihai had something to say.
At this time, before Yun Zihai continued to speak, the dean spoke.
"Lord Xu, this is not the place to talk. Please move to my room, and you will understand everything then."
The voice was as calm and gentle as ever, as if nothing in the world could arouse any emotion in this old man. There were stars and sea in his eyes, deep and peaceful.
"Okay." Xu Bai nodded and bowed, saying: "Thank you, dean."
The dean did not continue to speak, but waved to the two academy teachers next to him. The two academy teachers reacted quickly, lifted Yun Zihai's single frame, and left behind the dean.
Xu Bai also followed behind.
Liu Xu thought about it and was about to follow, but she didn't expect the dean to turn around and glance at her.
"You and Wang Qingfeng, keep this secret and don't let it out."
After receiving this order, Liu Xu had no choice but to stay where she was.
Even Liu Xu didn't follow, so the scholars around naturally stayed. Next, Liu Xu and Wang Qingfeng and other teachers began to cooperate with the people around them to prevent the news from leaking out.
...
Xu Bai followed behind, and after walking for nearly an incense stick of time, he came to an elegant and simple room.
The layout of the room is very stylish. From the outside, the furniture inside is simple, but the placement of each piece of furniture is pleasing to the eye.
The dean waved his hand and asked the two teachers carrying the stretcher to put Yun Zihai down.
After the two teachers put Yun Zihai down, they bowed slightly and saluted, and then left directly, closing the door before leaving.
Xu Bai squatted down and checked carefully, but did not find any external injuries on Yun Zihai.
Yun Zihai showed a trace of pain on his face because of being turned over by Xu Bai. He said helplessly: "Brother Xu, don't turn over anymore. I really wasn't harmed by anyone. It's just my own fault."
Xu Bai touched his chin and said: "I just want to know why you did such a stupid thing. Did you hurt your brain?"
Yun Zihai almost got angry when he heard it: "Brother Xu, your mouth is still the same as before, which makes people hear it very harsh. I am a seriously injured person after all. Aren't you worried at all?"
"Of course not." Xu Bai stood up, shifted his sight from Yun Zihai to the dean, and smiled: "Since the dean is here and brought you back, he can naturally save your life. What do I have to worry about?"
The dean of Qingyun Academy, who is that person? He is one of the people standing at the top of this world. Since Yun Zihai is not dead now, he will not die.
The dean stroked his beard and said, "I have heard of Prince Xu's name for a long time. I met him today and he is indeed a wonderful person."
Xu Bai shrugged and said, "Some things change as they are passed on. Maybe I am not as good as the legend says."
"No." The dean shook his head and said, "It is even better than the legend. At least that's what I think. After all, you can get the kindness of Eunuch Wei, the attention of Prince Shengyou, and even His Majesty pays great attention to you. You must be better than the legend says."
Xu Bai spread his hands and said, "In fact, compared to me, I still respect the dean. I am more envious, after all, I have heard a lot of legends about the dean. "
The dean waved his hand and said, "It's all just a false reputation. Friends in the world give me some face. I am just an honest scholar."
Yun Zihai, who was lying on the ground, struggled for a while and said, "You two, can you stop flattering each other later? I am in great pain now."
The dean's expression was instantly stiff, and even the thick bookish atmosphere around him was confused for a while. Then he turned around and glared at Yun Zihai: "It's all your own fault. You insisted on breaking through the first level of the Transcendental Stage. I told you that it was not possible at the beginning, but you didn't listen. "
"First level of Transcendental?" Xu Bai was slightly surprised: "The speed is quite fast. He reached this level so quickly. However, why did he become like this after reaching the first level of Transcendental?"
Yun Zihai did not answer because the dean had already said it.
"What else can it be? It has something to do with his congenital deficiency. The thing is, listen to me slowly, Lord Xu..."
Then, the dean told the whole story, and Xu Bai finally understood.
The dean went out this time just to bring Yun Zihai here. The reason is very simple. Yun Zihai had a big problem after the breakthrough.
The so-called big problem refers to Yun Zihai's congenital deficiency.
Xu Bai knew about this matter. After all, the first time he and Yun Zihai met was in the pharmacy.
Yun Zihai was still buying medicine there at that time.
In general, Yun Zihai's health is not good. The bad condition was brought from the womb, so it is difficult to cure the congenital deficiency.
Before Yun Zihai left the academy, the dean once said that Yun Zihai must stop when he reaches the second level at most.
If he continued to break through, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble, and now the trouble has come.
Due to his congenital deficiency, he forced himself to break through the first level of the Transcendent Realm, causing Yun Zihai's already very weak body to be rapidly destroyed.
Yun Zihai felt it at the time, and quickly wrote a letter directly to the academy, so the dean went there in person, stabilized Yun Zihai's injuries, and brought Yun Zihai back.
Later, it was everything Xu Bai saw, including Yun Zihai, who was weak at this moment.
"Wait." Xu Bai thought of the key point and pondered: "Could it be that the dean wanted me to come here to deal with this matter?"
Before he arrived, he ran into the dean going out, and now the dean is back again, and before leaving, the dean asked him not to walk around. Could it be because of this matter?
"No, it's just an accident." The dean shook his head, his eyes, though old but still full of wisdom, stared straight at Xu Bai: "I think Prince Xu must have been targeted by my old junior sister."
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said: "That's true, but this matter is extremely secretive. How did the dean know? Did someone tell you when you just came back?"
The dean shook his head and said: "Of course not, it's just my guess, so I asked you to come here."
"What is the guess?" Xu Bai continued to ask.
He was able to guess that he would be targeted, and it was not calculated by special methods, but just a guess.
Since it is a guess, there must be a basis.
The dean said slowly: "Did Prince Xu crack the chapter of righteousness forever?"
Xu Bai was stunned, and then he understood what the dean was talking about, and thought: "It should be considered a crack."
In fact, he didn't know whether he had cracked it or not, because the situation at that time was very special, and he didn't even feel it at all, but many people thought that he had cracked the chapter of righteousness forever.
"Hmm..." The dean put his hands behind his back and praised: "You are indeed a top talent of the younger generation. You deserve this name for being able to break Prime Minister Wen's Haoqi Changcun Pian."
"Although I don't get along with Prime Minister Wen very well, and I even fought with him several times, and both sides were tied, I have to say that Prime Minister Wen's Haoqi Changcun Pian is indeed exquisite."
"It's just because Prince Xu cracked Haoqi Changcun Pian that he attracted the attention of my junior sister."
"I know Prince Xu is curious about why Haoqi Changcun Pian attracted the attention of my junior sister. I will tell you about this matter in detail."
While speaking, the dean picked up the hot tea on the table and poured a cup for Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took the teacup, took a sip lightly, and his eyes lit up: "Good tea!"
Even if you are not a person who understands tea, you can feel that the mellow taste is definitely not a bad product after taking a sip.
"Give me a sip too." Yun Zihai's throat moved slightly, and he looked eager: "The dean's tea is all top-notch."
"You drink shit." Xu Bai didn't give him any face at all and drank the tea in one gulp.
Yun Zihai's face immediately became depressed.
The dean followed up with a sentence: "Tea tasting requires a specific method and a specific way. Well... In fact, in addition to this kind of tea tasting, you young people seem to like another kind of tea tasting."
Xu Bai: "..."
How could he not understand.
Tea tasting...
Well, it's tea tasting, another kind of tea tasting.
Yun Zihai, lying on the ground, rolled his eyes and said: "Don't explain, the dean is a person who tries his best not to be abandoned by the times, so he is very eager to follow the times.
Every time we have to come into contact with some new things, but for some things, the dean's ability to understand is different from ours. For example, the tea tasting just now, in the dean's heart, we are really tasting tea."
Hearing this, Xu Bai almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
The dean looked puzzled: "Could it be that I made a mistake again?"
"That's right." Xu Bai said quickly: "You understand it correctly, too. Tea tasting is tea tasting."
Good guy, he now understands the character of this dean.
It's like an old man who doesn't understand this era, but doesn't want to be abandoned by the era, so he tries his best to follow the era.
But it's so troublesome to follow the era, especially for an old man.
So there are many misunderstandings, such as what happened just now.
"It turns out that the top scholars like the dean also have these weird personalities." Xu Bai thought in his heart: "No, to be precise, they are all normal people."
In Xu Bai's mind, most of these real top masters are very strange people.
In other words, they are aloof.
But they meet one after another, but they are very different.
For example, the King of Chu is a very sinister old scoundrel. First, he killed his eighth son, and then he went to trap those traitors hidden in the Great Chu State. Finally, when Xu Bai was in the palace, he killed three birds with one stone.
For example, King Shengyou is more like a reckless person who is rough but also meticulous. Although he looks generous on the surface, he is actually very petty in his heart.
Finally, there is Eunuch Wei. In Xu Bai's opinion, Eunuch Wei is the most amiable one.
As for the fool Liu Qingfeng and the female master, it is difficult to comment, after all, one is stupid and the other is crazy.
As for the old woman Tianyinshi... well, she is just a disciple control.
And now, the dean in front of Xu Bai is more like an old man who tries to keep up with the times and does not want to be abandoned by the times.
"It's too far." The dean seemed to think that it was a bit far, and hurriedly brought the topic back: "Actually, when it comes to me and my junior sister, I always think that my junior sister is a person with a lot of thoughts, just like the Nine-Curved Corridor."
"Puff!" Xu Bai couldn't help it this time and spit it out.
"Alas." The dean said strangely: "Is my description wrong? Don't you young people often mention the Nine-Curved Corridor?"
The Nine-Curved Corridor...
Xu Bai complained in his heart, not just the Nine-Curved Corridor.
To be precise, it is a unique flower, two swallows flying, three pearls playing in the water, four seasons jade vortex, five dragons playing with pearls, six ambushes, seven orifices, wind and rain from all directions, nine winding corridors, and ten heavenly palaces.
Damn it!
If the dean knew what he was talking about, he would probably kill him to silence him.
Yun Zihai gave Xu Bai a look, asking him not to show it.
Xu Bai certainly understood, and hurriedly said: "Dean, let's continue."
The dean didn't ask the reason, but he felt that now was not the time to ask, so he told the follow-up.
As the dean told the story, Xu Bai finally understood what was going on.
When the dean was not yet the dean, there was a little junior sister. This junior sister and the dean were of the same lineage, and the two grew up together.
The same thing is that both of them have a strong talent in reading, but the difference is that their ambitions are different.
The dean wants to inherit Qingyun Academy and use Qingyun Academy as a foundation to cultivate more scholars.
The dean's sister had a completely different idea. She believed that Qingyun Academy had trained them, and they only needed to do their best and work hard to improve their strength, which was the most important thing.
The two different concepts themselves had non-conflicting trajectories, and they even complemented each other.
But the problem was that the dean's sister went astray one day. To be precise, she did not go astray, but created this astray.
From ancient times to the present, scholars have read books of sages, but the dean's sister felt that the speed was too slow, so by chance, she suddenly read an alternative book.
It was from that time that the scholars began to split, and the dean's sister led another part of the scholars to go astray.
Originally, all this was nothing, but what was unexpected was that this astray could change the minds of the scholars, making them more evil and more irritable, and at the same time, the desires deep in their hearts became more and more.
When a person becomes evil and irritable, and the more desires he has, that is when disasters will come, so from that time on, disasters have occurred frequently.
Finally, the dean arrested the junior sister, but he didn't expect that his junior sister was stronger than him.
The two fought for three days and three nights in a mountain range. As a result, the dean was slightly inferior and was seriously injured by the junior sister. He escaped at the critical moment.
The junior sister thought everything was fine. After all, even the dean didn't kill her, but was beaten and fled. No one in the world of scholars could stop her.
But what she never expected was that there was an extremely outstanding scholar in their generation.
——Wen Xun.
This name may not be familiar, but he has another identity, the famous prime minister of the Great Chu State.
After about a few months, the junior sister has been constantly strengthening this lineage, until one day, Prime Minister Wen and the dean joined forces to kill the junior sister in a dangerous place.
"Dead?" Xu Bai touched his chin and said strangely: "It shouldn't be."
The dean nodded: "Dead, but not completely dead. After we killed her, we found that her soul was actually connected to this lineage. As long as this lineage is not cut off, her soul will always exist and will continue to flow in this lineage."
Xu Bai pondered and said: "This ability is a bit strong, equivalent to immortality."
Think about it carefully, this ability is really strong, because it is absolutely impossible to completely disappear.
When something can be obtained by taking a shortcut, there will always be someone to take this shortcut. As long as it still exists, there will be no shortage of people.
And if this lineage is not cut off, the soul of this junior sister will never die. At best, only the physical body will be destroyed, but the soul can continue to flow.
"You can say she is not dead, but she is no different from being dead." The dean continued: "Although she can keep turning, her strength has vanished. She can only occupy other people's bodies. Whoever she occupies, her strength is also that of that person."
"But I found that she didn't seem to occupy other people's bodies, but shared a body with others. To be precise, she didn't devour the soul of the person she occupied."
"Later, I wondered why she didn't occupy directly. I checked a lot of classics and even studied with Prime Minister Wen, and then I came to a conclusion."
As he said, the dean's eyes stayed on Xu Bai.
Xu Bai looked left and right, and when he was sure that she was looking at him, he said in surprise: "Me?"
He was very sure that the dean was looking at him just now. Could it be that the so-called junior sister was interested in him?
No way.
It was really uncomfortable to be favored by such an old witch who didn't know how old she was.
Wait, why did she favor him?
"She covets my body?" Xu Bai walked back and forth for a while, and said, "It is said that people with strong strength have strange habits. Could it be that the dean's junior sister has such a habit, liking to eat young grass like me?"
The dean is already quite old, and he thinks that his mentality is very good, and even keeps up with the times, but after hearing Xu Bai's words, he almost lost his mind.
This young man is simply poisonous.
Xu Bai took a step back and said, "Really?"
"Fake!" The dean took two deep breaths to balance his mentality as soon as possible, and said, "After our research, we found that as long as she completely devours the soul of that person, she will be completely imprisoned in her body, that is, she will only have one chance to be reborn."
"So that's it." Xu Bai understood instantly: "It seems that it's not particularly unsolvable."
As long as the soul is completely devoured and the body is completely occupied, there will be no rebirth. Then you can wait until the dean's junior sister completely occupies a person's body before taking action.
At that time... wouldn't it be a matter of crying to the sky and the earth?
Oh?
Wait!
Something seems wrong.
Xu Bai pointed at himself and said, "Could it be me?"
He wanted to get a negative answer, but the dean nodded affirmatively.
The dean smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, you are good enough. Not only have you reached such strength at a young age, but you have also passed the chapter of the long-lasting noble spirit. For her, you have three advantages."
"First, you are strong. Second, you are young enough. Third, you have passed the chapter of the long-lasting noble spirit. Especially in the third point, she is also a scholar, and of course she cares more about a knowledgeable body."
"Wait!" Xu Bai raised his hand to interrupt and said, "Excuse me for asking, dean, is your junior sister a woman?"
The dean nodded, very sure that she was a woman.
Xu Bai pointed at himself and said, "But I'm a man, doesn't she mind that I'm a man?"
The dean pondered for a moment and said affirmatively, "At her age, she probably doesn't mind."
Xu Bai: "(Д)"
This is not only an old witch, but also an old witch with a weird personality.
"That's why I asked you to come here. It would be more dangerous if you stay outside, unless you stay in the palace all the time." The dean said, "But if you stay in the palace all the time, no one will help you. Prime Minister Wen will definitely not help you. He probably doesn't want to see you at all. Only I can help you."
Xu Bai came back to his senses from the shock and said, "Is there a good solution now?"
The dean said very straightforwardly, "No, but if I can find where she is, maybe there is a way. When I was young, I once traveled in an abandoned ancient site. There was a method for detecting the soul,
But it was so broken that I couldn't figure out anything useful. I came back this time to retreat and must hurry up to figure it out.
As long as I have this method, I can detect other people's souls. Whoever hides more souls must be her."
A method to detect the soul?
Broken?
Can't figure it out?
Xu Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"How about... let me see it?"
Just because others can't figure it out doesn't mean he can't figure it out. If he can start the progress bar, wouldn't that be perfect?
When he has this skill, will he still need the dean to test him?
He will test him, and after the test, he will tell the dean, call the dean over, and beat up the dean's junior sister together.
Isn't it wonderful?
The dean asked curiously: "Didn't I give it to you?"
"Give it to me?" Xu Bai was even more curious than the dean.
When did I give it to him? They just met for the first time.
The dean said, "That travelogue is only a small part of my travels around the world, focusing on the ancient ruins. I have given it to you. I wanted you to see if you can find anything. After all, Liu Xu said that you have many abilities."
"To be impolite, I have been guessing about your business. In the end, I finally have an idea."
"You should be the disciple of the female master. It is said that when you rescued King Shengyou, you were taken away by the female master, and nothing happened."
"Alas, the female master was also a top genius back then. She was able to be inclusive and accept the business of hundreds of schools. You should have learned it without sequelae, after all, you have not had any problems until now."
While speaking, the dean nodded vigorously, as if he was very sure of his guess.
After all, anyone would make such a guess, because Xu Bai and the female master are so similar, both have a variety of abilities.
After hearing this, what else could Xu Bai say? He could only continue: "As expected of the dean, he really has a good idea."
He didn't say the rest, because the female master was still looking for him, and her purpose was to restore her crazy state.
He thought he was exposed just now, but now it seems that he was not guessed at all. Thinking about it, it is right. How could something like a progress bar be guessed so easily?
Due to similar reasons as the female master, the female master now took the blame for him, which also gave him the idea that if there are any problems in the future, he can push them all to the female master.
Taking the blame once is also taking the blame, countless times is also taking the blame, and taking the blame does not count.
The female master didn't know this idea. If she knew, she would definitely jump out and cry out for injustice.
"Then I will continue to watch?" Xu Bai said: "What about Yun Zihai?"
At this time, Yun Zihai was still lying pale, like a dying person.
"Nursing." The dean said simply, "I have revised the body-strengthening technique this time, so that he can learn it. By then, he can barely cope with the Transcendent Realm. As for the higher levels, it will be difficult. Let's take it one step at a time."
"Oh?" Xu Bai rubbed his hands and said, "Dean, how about showing it to me?"
The body-strengthening technique, or the revised body-strengthening technique, can be used in the Transcendent Realm?
If he doesn't get this thing, he will feel a loss.
"Why do you look at that thing? Although you are the female master's business, you can't have too much. The female master went crazy because of this." The dean said strangely.
Before Xu Bai could answer, he handed over a book.
"Your business really needs to be inclusive, take it and read it."
Xu Bai looked at the book in front of him, especially the golden progress bar on the top, and took it excitedly.
The progress bar on the book is also very slow, which seems to be the progress bar of the Transcendent Realm.
This trip seems to have no gains, but what I didn't expect is that I accidentally gained two progress bars, and the progress bars are very slow.
"Is Yun Zihai sure there is nothing wrong?" Xu Bai asked.
He and Yun Zihai have an extraordinary relationship. They have experienced life and death together, so he is also worried about Yun Zihai's condition.
The dean said with certainty: "Don't worry, I brought him back this time to solve his problem. For the time being, there is no problem at all."
Xu Bai squatted down with relief after hearing this, and patted Yun Zihai on the shoulder with his hand: "Brother Yun, you must be restrained in the future. Men, kidneys must be good. If kidneys are not good, it will be difficult to get along."
Yun Zihai's eyes widened: "You are slandering for nothing. My kidneys have always been good."
A man, even if he has kidney deficiency, will never admit that he has kidney deficiency. This is a matter of face.
The dean added: "Speaking of which, his congenital deficiency is indeed prone to kidney deficiency. Zihai, you are now a king of a different surname. Otherwise, you should give birth to children earlier, in case you are old and it is difficult to give birth."
Yun Zihai was originally weak. After being stabbed again and again, his eyes rolled over and he fainted directly.
Before he fainted, he was still muttering silently.
"I don't have kidney deficiency... The girls in Chunyu Pavilion all say I'm very good... They say I'm a real man!"
"Sure enough, it's indeed kidney deficiency." The dean added: "I've also heard about Chunyu Pavilion. The girls there are always good at saying good things. Even if you are weak, they can still praise you as strong as an ox."
Xu Bai: "..."
Good guy, Brother Yun went to Chunyu Pavilion several times while he was away.
Sure enough, Brother Yun looked decent, but he was actually very stuffy.
He really wanted to wake Yun Zihai up, ask about the details, and let him explain in detail.
But now is not the time to talk about these.
Xu Bai stood up and bowed, saying: "Dean, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I want to figure out the contents of this book as soon as possible to see if I can find your junior sister."
With the progress bar, he certainly didn't want to waste time any more. The progress bar was the most important thing.
Moreover, this time the progress bar was closely related to finding the murderer behind the scenes.
The dean nodded and said: "Don't worry, as long as you don't leave the academy, you will be absolutely safe, because I will be in the academy all the time during this period. With me here, she dare not do anything."
Xu Bai responded and turned to leave.
...
After leaving the dean's room, he did not stop along the way and went straight back to his room.
The dean's return was also fermenting in the academy. Originally, the cracks in the statue a few days ago made the readers panic. With the return of the dean, everything became quiet again.
Time passed slowly, and another day passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past few days, Xu Bai stayed in his room and worked non-stop on the progress bar.
He did not read the improved version of the physical fitness technique, but focused on the travel notes. After all, things have their priorities, and now the travel notes can solve his problems.
After working non-stop for a day, the travel notes book is finally full.
Tremble, old witch!
