Chapter 86 Qingxue encounters a broken tree (8000)

Thinking about this, Xu Bai looked at the direction where those people left, held the ghost knife, and walked in this direction.

It was still early, and the five of them were rushing between the woods, rushing to Sheng County.

Surrounded by woods, it seemed a bit lonely, but at this moment, the middle-aged man in the lead, who was also called the boss by the group, suddenly stopped.

The four fast horses behind them stopped, and the people on the fast horses looked at their leader suspiciously, expressing that they didn't understand what was going on.

"I always feel that danger is approaching, everyone be prepared." The boss thought for a while, frowned, turned and said to the four people behind him.

Hearing his boss's words, the four of them didn't hesitate at all, and quickly put their guard on their guard.

They are well aware of the ability of the boss.

In the rivers and lakes, there is a profession called Ming Chejiang.

This business is extremely good at traveling long distances and transporting all kinds of important things, because they have the ability to seek good luck and avoid bad luck.

Their boss has this ability, and because of this ability, they have been pulled out of life and death many times.

So when the boss said to be on guard, everyone did not let go of their guard and looked around vigilantly.

The surrounding area is very quiet, but there are still birds chirping and insects chirping, which may be normal at other times.

But now they dare not relax in the slightest. Everyone is facing a position that just covers the whole surrounding.

"Nothing happened along the way, but it happened at this time, third child, it seems that the person you made is not an ordinary person." The boss thought carefully and quickly realized it.

"Boss, I've killed everything I made, unless their family members came to retaliate against me." The third child showed doubts, but after carefully thinking about what the boss said just now, he showed a frightening expression: "You mean that Little boy, is that the one Yinyi met just now?"

"Shut up!" The boss yelled sharply, and after the third brother closed his mouth, he turned around, looked at the surrounding woods, and said loudly: "Everyone walks in the rivers and lakes, my brother can't see gold Yu, please also raise your hand high."

The forest was quiet, and no one answered him.

After about half a stick of incense, there is still no reply from anyone.

At this moment, the quiet forest is a bit weird. The boss has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows exactly what he is facing.

"I have no grievances with you, maybe the third brother started to provoke, I sincerely apologize to you here." The boss continued without stopping.

Still no one answered him, it was quiet as if no one was there.

It was about half a stick of incense, and at this moment, the mood of the five people was a little loose.

The third child turned his head subconsciously, wanting to ask, but at this moment, a whistling sound came suddenly.

Just at this time, the third child turned his head, his sight was blocked, and when he wanted to turn back, it was already too late.

The copper coins were covered with black light, roaring towards them, each one carried unparalleled power, and at the same time, there were still a lot of them.

After Maple Leaf Ruyu gained the bonus of Vajra Heart Demon Physique, its power has greatly increased, but it has lost the characteristic of being silent.

Whether there is gain, there is loss. Xu Bai is facing a different enemy now, he still hopes that it will be better to have a power bonus.

The third child didn't even have time to make an expression, his whole body was penetrated by copper coins.

"That position!" The boss stared.

At the position where the copper coin was launched just now, a figure passed by like a ghost, and soon disappeared into the woods.

The person disappeared again, and with the help of the cover of the woods, no trace could be found.

"Your Excellency, since you have already taken revenge, let's forget about our matter. We have to forgive others and forgive others. Now leave it to the front line, so we can meet in the future." The boss's forehead broke out in cold sweat.

He has the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but he can only use it on himself, and he can't keep his subordinates at all.

At this time, one of the subordinates couldn't help it anymore, and slowly raised his right hand, a crack appeared in the palm of his hand, and insects with transparent wings flew out from the crack wound.

Yin Gu Master, branch of Gu Dao.

The difference from ordinary Gu Dao is that the Gu raised by Yin Gu masters are all raised from human corpses, and the nutrients they grab are also obtained from corpses.

"Fourth brother, don't!" The boss yelled.

Now the strength of the enemy and the enemy is unknown, and the opponent seems to be afraid of their numbers, but that is because the opponent does not know their strength, so now we must preserve our strength and not take it lightly.

But after all, he underestimated the patience of his subordinates.

After the Yin Gu appeared, it surrounded the fourth child.

The fourth child turned his head and said, "I'm just defending."

"Don't turn your head!" The boss shouted.

But when he yelled this sentence, it was already too late.

A figure is like a ghost, from far to near, with a knife in his hand.

The light of the knife is covered with the black light of the fourth-order Vajra Heart Demon Physique, coupled with the armor-piercing effect of the first break, even if Yang Chang saw it, he would have to kneel down and call him father.

Not to mention a Gu player?

Human heads flew up, blood spilled all over the ground.

The human head was rolling, and the eyes were wide open with a final look of shock.

At this time, the second and fifth children also moved.

The second child was an ordinary martial artist, he pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed at Xu Bai obliquely.

The fifth child was also a martial artist, and he used a short knife to slash at Xu Bai's legs.

One up and one down to block all the way out.

Xu Bai didn't block, but stomped slightly.

The four Sunda arrays start.

The flame rose, enveloping the second child and the fifth child.

The second child and the fifth child are also good in strength, and the current level of the Si Xun formation is still a little lower, so it can only confuse and hinder at most.

"Oh, the experiment failed." Xu Bai sighed.

He just tried it out, and now it seems that the formation of Si Xun has indeed fallen behind.

But it's not a big problem.

Xu Bai sprinkled maple leaves like rain with his backhand, and slashed at the other person.

Due to the reason of the experiment just now, his movements were a little slower, and the opponent's attack came first, but there was an abnormality.

I didn't see Xu Bai making any moves, but the opponent's attack just failed.

Inverting yin and yang and messing up the four directions, this mentality, even Yang Chang covets it, the ability to confuse the real with the fake is really exquisite.

The knife falls, and the copper coins determine the universe.

The second child and the fifth child turned into two corpses and fell from the horse to the ground.

Xu Bai turned his head and heard a gust of wind, the boss had already run away without a trace.

"It's really interesting and straightforward."

He thought that the opponent would fight to the death, but turned around and ran away unexpectedly, which is in line with human nature.

After all, no one wants to die.

But... can you escape?

Xu Bai picked up the Ghost Head Saber and used Si Xun's movement technique. Every time he took a step, he would dodge and move like a ghost, chasing after the boss in the direction where he was escaping.

On the other side, the boss drove the horse and fled quickly.

He possesses the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Just now, he has felt that the strength of the opponent is extraordinary. If he stays there, he will die sooner or later. Only by running away can he have a chance.

Just when his own men went down to stop him, he ran away. It's not his fault, after all, his survival is the most important thing these days.

At worst, when you have time, just burn more paper for them.

There are woods all around, only the figure of the boss driving a horse, and the sound of horseshoes.

But the boss knew in his heart that the feeling of danger was lingering.

"He is chasing you." The boss thought to himself.

This thought was only halfway through when he saw a figure swaying over his head and falling into the distance.

"Call ~"

The boss hastily reined in the horse and stopped the horse, his face was ashen.

Can't run away, the other party is determined to let him die.

"Even if the third brother is disrespectful to you, you shouldn't kill them all." The boss got off the horse and looked at the man opposite him vigilantly.

"Didn't you say that you will come back to find me when you are free?" Xu Bai held the ghost-head knife, which was still dripping with blood.

At this moment, Xu Bai is like a demon who has stepped out of purgatory, his eyes are so cold that it makes people shiver.

"I swear, I will never trouble you, can you let me go?" The boss smiled wryly.

The one who answered him was the ghost knife in Xu Bai's hand.

The boss looked at the ghost knife that was getting closer, his heart tightened, and then subconsciously backed away, taking a step to avoid the blade of the ghost knife.

"Huh?" Xu Bai was slightly surprised: "Can you still escape?"

The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I suggest you let me go, the two of us are exhausted here, just to see who will die first."

Xu Bai didn't listen, he reached into his wallet and took out a handful of copper coins, and the maple leaf did it like rain.

The boss made a slight mistake in his footsteps, and dodged narrowly.

"It's neither footwork nor bodywork. Your ability is interesting." Xu Bai rubbed his chin and said with great interest.

The boss didn't speak, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say his name.

My mind was running fast, thinking of ways to get out.

But after thinking for a long time, I still got nothing, so I can only drag it by my own ability.

At this time, Xu Bai spoke.

"The two attacks just now, your speed is not fast, but when I just raised my hand, I have already withdrawn in advance. Could it be your ability to predict?"

The boss fell silent.

The opponent guessed his ability and made him grit his teeth.

Although it is not 100% correct, it is almost the same.

Xu Bai smiled: "It's a foreknowledge, I guess it's about the same, you're panicking."

The boss still wanted to continue talking, but the other party didn't give him any time to react.

A hazy black light rose from Xu Bai's body, like a ferocious beast, bumping towards him in a daze.

"Dodge, dodge!" Seeing the ferocious attack, the boss chanted frantically.

But he found that it didn't work.

The boss raised his head, his face full of fear.

"This is an ability beyond the seventh rank!"

The fourth-level Vajra Heart Demon Physique corresponds to the sixth-level ability, and there is nothing wrong with it.

The Carpenter of the Underworld has the ability to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, but this is limited, and after surpassing itself, it will be useless.

He only has the strength of the seventh rank, how can he avoid the ability of the sixth rank?

The Vajra Heart Demon body skipped over and slammed into the boss hard.

Cracks appeared on the boss's chest, and the cracks gradually spread, turning into a rain of blood.

All the blood mist was blocked by Wu Guang, and Xu Bai returned to normal after everything calmed down.

"We must hurry up on the mental method, and the consumption will be too great." Xu Bai thought to himself.

After the boss died, the surrounding became quiet and everything returned to normal.

Because he died on the body of Vajra Heart Demon, he couldn't find a good place.

Fortunately, the money bag around his waist was still intact, Xu Bai wiped off the blood on it, and took all the money inside.

After wiping out his traces, he returned to the place where the first few people died, searched in detail, but found nothing useful, except for money, there was nothing else.

destroyed the corpse again before he returned to Yinyi.

Yinyi is still normal. The people in Yinyi don't know that so many things have happened outside Yinyi, and they are still carrying on their original life as usual.

The old postmaster was still repairing the damaged house, and the sound of hammers hitting iron nails became the only louder sound in the Yin post.

Xu Bai returned to the giant tree again and continued to observe.

Time passed without knowing it, and in a blink of an eye, the progress bar was halfway through.

After this period of time, it passed peacefully.

"Squeak..."

There was a tooth-piercing voice, the door of Yinyi was opened, and the old postmaster came out, holding a note in his hand.

"The matter of the postmaster is over. After I leave office, you will become the new postmaster, but there will be a little change in the process."

Xu Bai took the note, glanced at it roughly, and found that it was from catkins.

The message note said that Liuxu and Wuhua had already finished their affairs, and their teachers were in charge of recommending them. This matter is generally stable.

However, there is a problem in it, that is, even if someone recommends it, it needs to be investigated. The officials of the imperial court are responsible for investigating Xu Bai's origin and background.

After all, he is also an official, so it is necessary to go through this process, and Xu Bai has no objection to this.

"You will know the process of sending and receiving these messages in due time. Is there anything else I need to say to her?" asked the old postmaster.

"I'm going out for a trip today, senior, please send him a letter, asking if you can pass the Disguise Technique and the method of changing the voice to me." Xu Bai thought for a while and said.

At that time, he was very fond of Liu Xu's ability, and listening to Liu Xu's meaning, ordinary people can learn it after learning, and they can learn it well.

However, a lot of things happened in the middle, plus Chunhuabi, and Liu Xu are going to leave soon, so he forgot about it.

"The method of disguise?" The old postmaster nodded, indicating that he understood: "By the way, you have been copying something these days, and it seems that you want to give it to others."

"I have a friend in need." Xu Bai stood up, not wanting to say more about this matter: "Then I will leave first, and this matter will trouble seniors."

"It's easy to say." The old postmaster agreed.

Xu Bai left Yinyi and went to Sheng County.

Nothing else happened in the middle, and everything was as usual.

After returning to Sheng County, he first went to the bookstore.

The one-month period has come. According to the previous agreement, the bookstore owner should have replaced new books from the court.

It was still the same as usual, there was almost no one in the bookstore, except for one or two people who were picking things that were not related to books, and the books on the shelves were displayed on it, which seemed very deserted.

The owner of the bookstore was sitting in front of the counter bored. When he saw Xu Bai walking in, his eyes lit up.

"Boss, have you replaced the new book?" Xu Bai asked.

The owner of the bookstore pointed to the bookshelf next to him: "Of course all of them have been replaced, according to your request, and none of them have been left behind."

Xu Bai came to the bookshelf, and there were really different books on the bookshelf, and even the placement of them had changed.

It's still early, and he also has time, flipping through the books above one by one.

He glanced at each book until he came to the middle book, and then he stopped.

The golden progress bar floats above the book, which is useful.

"It's really lucky, I really got a copy." Xu Bai was very happy, picked up the book, and flipped it gently.

The progress bar is growing slowly, and the content of the book is also jumping on the paper.

This is an article describing ancient warfare. He read a page or two of the contents.

The writing is excellent, and the huge war scenes are vividly depicted, especially the scene of the army rushing and killing, which is placed at the beginning of the chapter, which is attractive enough.

Holding this book in his hand, Xu Bai continued to check the following books, but at the end of the search, he did not find a progress bar.

However, if you can find a copy, it can be regarded as a reward. Xu Bai took the book, paid the bill with the bookstore owner, and went straight out the door.

Before he left, he reminded him again that he would have to replace a batch next month.

The owner of the bookstore was very happy if he could sell it, and he readily agreed.

Leaving the bookstore, Xu Bai didn't hurry back to Yinyi, but went to Fulong Escort.

Now that the matter of the postmaster has been roughly finalized, his next plan must be implemented, especially here in the Escort Bureau, which must be handled properly.

As soon as he arrived at the **** office, Xu Bai's figure caught the attention of the escorts. They put down their work and all looked over.

It has been several days since I saw the bodyguard master, but seeing them now, everyone was shocked.

Especially Liu Er, in addition to being shocked, it was more of a kind of ecstasy from the heart.

During this period of time, Liu Er hadn't seen Xu Bai, and had been managing the bodyguard by himself, and now he was a celebrity in front of Xu Bai, so the bodyguards naturally obeyed.

But Liu Er knew very well in his heart that the Escort Bureau was just a trivial matter, and the really important thing was what Xu Bai said to him a few days ago.

Become an official, and then become a real warrior.

Liu Er did not doubt Xu Bai's statement at all, but firmly believed it.

Even if he hadn't seen him for several days, he didn't relax at all, and tried his best to keep the bodyguard bureau in order.

"The bodyguard master." Liu Er stepped forward.

"Come to the backyard." Xu Bai said lightly.

After finishing speaking, he walked directly towards the backyard.

Liu Er was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that his face was full of ecstasy.

What Xu Bai said just now means, he knows better than anyone else in his heart, which means that he will really step into that mountain, a mountain that he has never imagined.

Liu Er respectfully followed behind, always keeping a distance of one meter away from Xu Bai.

Before he left, he glanced at the bodyguard who had tried to take his place, raised his head, and looked very proud.

See, this is the correct way to hold your thighs. Even when walking, you must pay attention to your words and deeds.

Details, what are details, this is called details!

Liu Er followed behind, walked to the backyard, and followed Xu Bai into his room.

The room is very clean. It seems that during his absence, Liu Er often ordered people to come and clean it.

Xu Bai sat on the stool and touched the teapot next to it, which was still warm.

"The villain will make a cup of hot tea for the bodyguard master every morning. If the bodyguard master comes back, he can drink it in time." Liu Er said respectfully.

-detail!

Xu Bai smiled, instead of drinking tea, he took out a book and handed it to Liu's second hand.

This is what he copied in Yinyi during this period of time.

Bone breaking knife method, bone breaking heart method.

This comes from the skills on the wall of Tiger Village. The level is not high, only the first level, and it is not very high in the first level, but it is enough for a warrior to step into the ninth level.

Although his skills have already been fused to become a higher skill, it doesn't mean that he can't separate other low-level skills.

Liu Er is a tool man himself, so it's almost enough to give a first-level book, but it's not good to give it a higher level.

is too high, what if there are some variables?

Even if this level of skill falls into Liu's second hand, it is like a treasure.

Liu Er squeezed hard, like a rare treasure, reluctant to let go.

"Don't get excited, I have conditions." Xu Bai said.

"Even if the villain is sent to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire, the villain will die." Liu Er knelt down on the ground and said loudly.

"That's not necessary. The conditions are very simple. It's not so much a condition as a standard. If you are not able to enter the product when I am about to do something, then you are not qualified." Xu Bai said slowly.

If you can't enter the product, Liu Er can't be in this position either.

"The villain will definitely do his best to enter the product as soon as possible." Liu Er nodded vigorously with firm eyes.

Based on Xu Bai's understanding, people like bodyguards have already polished their bodies very solidly.

What's worse is a mental method, so Xu Bai feels that there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Remember to hurry up." Xu Bai said: "I'm leaving first. The next time I come back, it will be the time to test your ability and take you on the road of your dreams."

"Yes!" Liu Er lowered his head and said vigorously.

Xu Bai did not continue to say more, left Sheng County, and went to Yinyi again.

This time, he will go back to Yinyi, finish the progress bar of the giant tree, and then move the book in his hand.

The progress bar of the giant tree has already gone halfway, and it only takes time to succeed.

Leaving the Escort, Xu Bai soon came to the gate of the county seat.

But before he left the city, he bumped into a man in the middle of the road.

Yun Zihai was dressed in casual clothes, dressed like an ordinary citizen, and was walking around the city gate, looking around from time to time.

When Xu Bai approached, he also saw it, and Xu Bai walked over immediately.

"Coincidentally, I didn't expect to meet Brother Xu here," Yun Zihai greeted and gave a slight salute.

Scholars have achieved the ultimate in etiquette.

"Master Yun isn't sitting in the yamen, why are you walking around?" Xu Bai frowned.

To be honest, he didn't want to have anything to do with this new county magistrate, because in his mind, the purpose of this guy's promotion to the county is definitely not simple.

If it was really the court's punishment, why did he still have to be an official?

So Xu Bai felt that the farther away from these troubles the better, he just wanted to silently watch the progress bar, and then amaze everyone.

"To manage a county well, you must first understand the county. I happened to visit the city gate and ran into you." Yun Zihai smiled and said, "Are you going out of the city?"

Xu Bai nodded: "I heard that you were assassinated some time ago."

"It's just a small character. I'm still waiting for their follow-up actions, but I didn't expect that after waiting for so long, there is no movement at all." Yun Zihai laughed.

Maybe because he spoke too fast, he couldn't help coughing twice, his pale face was particularly conspicuous.

"I'm sorry, I'm sick and can't control it." Yun Zihai said shamelessly.

Xu Bai raised his head and looked at the distant sky: "It's getting late, I'm leaving first."

"Okay, if you need anything, come to Sheng County to find me at any time." Yun Zihai didn't ask to stay either.

Xu Bai agreed casually, left Sheng County, and walked towards Yinyi.

Yun Zihai kept staring at the direction where Xu Bai was leaving, and shook his head after Xu Bai's figure disappeared at the end: "We are very vigilant."

After saying this, he didn't stop at the city gate, and continued to inspect other places.

Along the way, Xu Bai hurriedly hurried, and finally returned to Yinyi.

At the beginning, the content of communicating with Yun Zihai was also forgotten by him.

"Everything is based on the progress bar, and other things can be postponed." Sitting in front of the giant tree, Xu Bai stared intently.

While he was on the progress bar, in the suburbs not far from Yinyi, a woman dressed in ordinary clothes was rushing towards Yinyi.

The woman is very young, probably in her twenties. Although she is dressed in ordinary clothes, she looks very beautiful.

But if you look at the woman's hands, you will find that there are calluses between the fingers of her hands, which is obviously a practicing family.

Especially around the waist of the woman, there was a pair of silver thorns, shining coldly under the sunlight.

As the personal servant girl of the Ninth Princess, Qingxue, who has the strength of the seventh rank, has always been the only follower of the Ninth Princess.

Actually, if she is really a personal guard maid, her strength is far beyond the seventh-rank realm, but there are many things about the royal family that cannot be judged by common sense.

She is loyal, loyal to Princess Nine.

This time, Princess Nine specially sent her here. Apart from simply investigating the matter of Chunyu Pavilion, it was more about that Jianghu man.

The secret letter was delivered to the ninth princess by other members of the royal family, and the content inside did not mention the matter of Chunyu Pavilion Yang Chang.

what is the reason? In fact, think about it.

The intrigue of the royal family has long been famous, and everyone can only believe half of what they say, and the other nine and a half minutes cannot be believed at all.

Only when you see it with your own eyes and understand it with your own eyes is it true.

Even though Princess Nine already knew the real reason behind the Chunyu Pavilion incident, Princess Nine seemed to be very interested in that Jianghu man.

Qingxue also came here for this.

"At most two days, I will be able to reach Yinyi. When I arrive at Yinyi, I will rest a little and go to Sheng County to investigate." Qingxue was riding a fast horse, thinking in her heart.

She is very clear that Princess Nine is interested in soliciting, and she must investigate the identity and background of that person. Of course, if she fails to recruit, there will be no other conflicts. After all, before this, Princess Nine has already given the content to she.

People in the royal family need to be cautious, but there is no such thing as written in biographical novels. If the recruitment fails, they will be killed directly. This kind of thing will always exist only in fantasy.

Even a small tell is easy to be discovered by the opponent, and after a little use, the weakness will be infinitely magnified.

"Sigh, compared to other members of the royal family, Princess Nine is still too kind."

Thinking about this, Qingxue quickened her pace again.

As a personal maid, she is good at many things, especially equestrian.

Speeding up the horse, getting closer and closer to Sheng County.

When she was about to reach Sheng County, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

"Woo~" Qingxue tightened the reins and stopped the horse, staring at the person in front of her with cold eyes.

This person is wearing black clothes, a bamboo hat on his head, and a black veil under the hat, so he can't see his face clearly.

But with a long knife on his waist, it is particularly conspicuous.

"Who are you?" Qingxue pulled out the silver thorn in her waist, her words were murderous.

The man in black did not speak, but reached into his waist, raised a handful of copper coins, and sprinkled towards Qingxue with a unique hidden weapon technique.

Qingxue's eyes widened, and she kept waving the hand holding the silver thorn, picking up the copper coin.

At this time, the man in black moved again, drew out the long knife at his waist, and rushed towards Qingxue.

The two sides fought together in an instant, and the sound of soldiers fighting one after another.

The man in black on the opposite side not only has superb knife skills, but also throws out a handful of copper coins from time to time, and his hidden weapons are also extremely clever.

And every move has a murderous intent, the purpose is to put Qingxue to death.

"What a subtle hidden weapon." Qingxue frowned.

Her strength is at the seventh rank, and the strength of the opponent is also at the seventh rank.

But on the contrary, she is proficient in silver thorns, but the opponent is proficient in knife skills and hidden weapons.

The two are equal to each other, and she gradually falls into the disadvantaged, tending to be invincible.

A negligence, the long knife slashed across, leaving a wound on her right arm.

"Drive!"

Qingxue's reaction was quick, she turned around and rode her horse, and was about to escape from here.

She knew very well that she couldn't beat the opponent, and there was no need to fight to the death here, after all, she had a mission.

The sound of hooves sounded, and the sound of hooves fell, and the fast horse gradually moved away from the man in black.

The man in black made a wrong step and chased after Qingxue, but his speed was not below Qingxue's.

Seeing that it was about to approach, Qingxue suddenly turned her head and threw out a handful of white ash.

The man in black stopped, waved his sleeves, and dispersed the white ash in front of him.

At this time, he had already missed the opportunity, and Qingxue had already run away without a trace.

The man in black stood where he was, as if thinking. After a while, he disappeared into the wilderness.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

After the past two days, Xu Bai has been sitting in front of the giant tree, staring at it intently, just to quickly fill up the progress bar.

In addition to daily life, there will be new things brought by the postman every day, and he will take the time to take a look. Unfortunately, there are still no new discoveries, and the progress bar has not found new ones.

Besides the giant tree in front of him, he only has the book he got from the bookstore. Currently, he only needs these two progress bars.

There is no new progress bar, and his interest is not high.

Fortunately, today is different, today is a new beginning.

There is no other reason, the progress bar is about to be full.
