Chapter 121 The Skills of This Book Are Not Orthodox (8000)

Footsteps?

When the footsteps sounded, everyone present was alert.

Just after dealing with a person behind the scenes, a new danger emerged.

Everyone looked into the depths of the darkness.

The darkness was bottomless, but the footsteps were clearly audible, and each beat echoed in the darkness.

The sound was distant at first, and as time went by, it slowly became dull.

This is the rhythm that is getting closer and closer.

"Master..." Chu Yu pulled Xu Bai's sleeve, tilted his head, pointed at his chest with his white fingers, and said, "The feeling of disgust is gone."

Xu Bai was slightly stunned, and after hearing what Chu Yu said, he turned his head to look at Yun Zihai.

Not far away, Yun Zihai's fierce momentum also disappeared.

What's going on?

According to the situation encountered at the bottom of the lake before, Dafeng Kingdom, Qingyun Academy and Da Chu Kingdom are irreconcilable enemies, which is also the reason that affects the two.

Just now the man in black robe said that the Feng Shui Master was dead, the Feng Shui formation was gone, and Chu Yu and Yun Zihai would not exist.

But it still appeared, and there were footsteps.

It would be fine if the footsteps were heard. After the footsteps were heard, Chu Yu and Yun Zihai suddenly became normal again.

But the problem is that the footsteps are still there, and they are getting closer and closer.

Xu Bai couldn't figure it out, and there was no time to think about the situation in front of him.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, a figure walked out of the darkness in front.

The figure was covered with golden light all over, and his face could not be seen clearly. Under the cover of the golden light, it seemed that he had no facial features.

After this golden figure appeared, it stopped not far from Xu Bai and the others, and did not move forward.

The field became quiet, and no one moved.

The golden figure was not a life, but was made of pure gold.

When it appeared, the darkness around it was dissipating.

The light was warm, and shining on people made people feel relaxed and happy.

As soon as the surrounding darkness touched the golden light, it retreated consciously, as if afraid of being stuck.

At this moment, the silent Yun Zihai spoke.

"It's fate!" Yun Zihai said loudly.

Xu Bai frowned.

Fate, what is that?

The current situation does not seem to be very dangerous, because Yun Zihai seized this opportunity to explain to Xu Bai.

"The so-called fate is an extremely mysterious thing. It exists in everyone. If the fate is good, everything will be fine. If the fate is bad, bad luck will come."

"This thing is extremely mysterious. It is the specialty of the fortune-teller. By the way, Feng Shui masters are a branch of fortune-tellers."

"The branches of fortune-tellers are extremely wide, such as Feng Shui masters, physiognomists, hexagram masters, etc..."

As Yun Zihai narrated, Xu Bai gradually understood.

In Xu Bai's summary, the so-called fate is regarded as luck.

If this is the case, then this golden figure is really not a human.

"Is this thing not hostile?"

Since the golden figure appeared, it has just stood there without any movement.

"This should be one of the fates of our Great Chu State..." Chu Yu took two steps forward and stared at the golden figure in front of him: "After it appeared, I not only did not feel disgusted, but felt an extremely comfortable sense of security."

The fate of the Great Chu State?

Xu Bai was slightly stunned, and then seemed to think of something.

Could it be that this was also within the calculations of the person in the capital?

From the beginning to now, Xu Bai has long known that the emperor absolutely knows the location of all the tunnels, just from Chu Yu's ability to understand the map.

This is taught by the emperor, which means that the emperor knows everything.

But the emperor pretended not to know, and even sent so-called spies in a fake manner, pretending to be very similar.

Now the golden fate has appeared again, and it still belongs to the fate of the Great Chu State, which is very obvious.

The emperor's goal is definitely the golden fate.

I just don't know what the actual operation is.

"It just stands here, motionless?" Xu Bai pondered.

The current situation is very awkward, the surroundings are pitch black, but the golden figure is emitting this kind of tycoon-like light.

The most important thing is that the golden figure does not move at all.

In Xu Bai's mind, why not just start fighting?

Just as he thought of this, the golden figure seemed to have sensed something, slowly turned his head, and actually looked directly in the direction of Xu Bai.

The face was as smooth as a mirror, without facial features, but Xu Bai could feel that the other party was looking at him.

Because there are no eyes, there is no emotion, no abnormality, and no so-called oppression.

It's like an ordinary gaze, looking at a stranger.

Then, the golden figure made a move.

In the sight of everyone, he slowly bent down and saluted Xu Bai.

Everyone present was shocked.

Qishu originally had no consciousness, it was just a dead object, and apart from luck, it had no other characteristics.

But now, this dead object actually saluted Xu Bai.

Although it was not a big salute, the slight bow was shocking enough.

Xu Bai also looked solemn.

This thing was very weird, and he had never touched Qishu before, but now it saluted him, which was very strange.

After the golden figure finished this action, it raised its body, and then, in the eyes of everyone, it turned into golden dots and gradually disappeared.

Xu Bai and Yun Zihai raised their heads and looked up.

They had a feeling that something seemed to appear under the sky of Da Chu.

It was very mysterious and elusive.

After such a commotion, the surroundings returned to darkness and silence again.

"Let's go and see those corpses first." Xu Bai said.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being.

When we have a chance to contact them again in the future, we will get more clues and connect them together.

Everyone nodded, and tacitly did not continue to talk about this matter, and followed Xu Bai to the depths of the tunnel.

Next, everyone searched the tunnel carefully, but there was no other gain.

The Feng Shui pattern has been cracked, and the bodies of the Dafeng people have all turned into ashes, and nothing is left.

After the search was fruitless, everyone did not stay and returned to the government office along the original route.

...

They are finishing here.

On the other side, in the capital, which is very far away from Yunlai Mansion, there is silence in the palace.

On the surface, there is no one else in the palace except some patrolling imperial guards.

But as the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom, this is the most dangerous place in the Great Chu Kingdom, and even the Great Yue and the border barbarians dare not set foot here.

There are countless masters guarding this forbidden area openly and secretly.

In a luxurious hall, there is a middle-aged man in yellow clothes, reading a book.

This book has no cover, but the handwriting on it is vigorous and powerful, and the content is all about how to govern a country.

The middle-aged man looks ordinary, but there is a nobleness between his eyebrows that ordinary people don't have. Even if a master is here, he can't look directly at it.

The night in the palace is very dark, but here it is as bright as day, with a lot of lights on, just like daytime.

The middle-aged man is lying on a lounge chair covered with luxurious fur, and even the material of the chair is extremely precious precious wood.

He looks at the book, frowning and thinking from time to time, as if thinking about the feasibility of the content in the book.

At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped, got up from the lounge chair, and walked to the window step by step.

Even when doing this action, the middle-aged man's back is still very straight. Although his eyes are plain, there is a kind of majesty that others dare not look directly at.

When he came to the window, the window opened automatically before his hand touched it.

There were two black shadows outside the window, and they disappeared into the darkness after opening the window.

The middle-aged man looked in one direction and put down the book in his hand.

In that direction, in the dark sky, a golden light flashed that ordinary people could not detect.

When this scene appeared, the middle-aged man smiled.

Even with a smile, he could not change the nobleness, but it became more intense.

"Come here."

Two words came out of the middle-aged man's mouth.

There was no one around, but when these two words were spoken, an old man in eunuch clothes appeared outside the window.

"Your Majesty." The old eunuch had gray hair, but his divine light was restrained, and he was a master at first glance.

"Pass on my order and ask the head of the Observatory to come here." The emperor of the Great Chu State, the Chu Emperor, said in a flat tone.

"Your Majesty, we have been established for many years, and it is not suitable for the previous grass-roots title. It is not the head, but the supervisor." The old eunuch twitched his mouth slightly and said.

"Oh, ask him to come over." The Chu Emperor said lightly, very dissatisfied, and waved his hand casually.

"Yes, sir." The old eunuch bowed respectfully and disappeared in a flash.

Seeing the old eunuch disappear, the King of Chu looked up at the sky again and didn't speak for a long time.

About half an incense stick of time passed.

The old eunuch led an old man in a Taoist robe and knocked on the door.

The King of Chu: "..."

He was right next to the window, but he had to knock on the door. His close old eunuch was too stubborn in terms of etiquette, stubborn to the point of being morbid.

"Come in." The King of Chu turned around and lay down on the recliner.

At this time, two black shadows appeared and closed the window carefully, fearing that they would disturb the first person in the Great Chu State.

The door opened, and the old eunuch led the old Taoist priest and walked in from outside.

The old Taoist priest came in and tidied his clothes. There was already a black spot on his right eye.

"Untidy clothes are the greatest disrespect to Your Majesty, and you should be beaten." A certain old eunuch with strong etiquette said seriously.

The King of Chu smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

The old eunuch left, closing the door behind him.

Supervisor Zhang rubbed his eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but standing in front of the emperor, he did not dare to lose his manners, and quickly knelt on the ground: "I am the Supervisor of the Observatory of Astronomy, and I greet your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."

The Observatory of Astronomy sounds powerful, but in fact, it is not a very powerful institution in the capital.

All their members are from the lineage of fortune tellers, some are Feng Shui masters, some are physiognomists, and some are fortune tellers, all kinds of things.

And what they do is also very simple, observing celestial phenomena, calculating the solar terms and calendar, and observing the destiny.

"Stand up." Emperor Chu waved his sleeves and said lightly: "It's done."

Supervisor Zhang had just stood up, and was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then his face became excited.

It's done?

It's done!

"You should know what to do next." Emperor Chu said.

Supervisor Zhang nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "I will take my leave now and start your majesty's plan immediately."

The Emperor of Chu nodded and said: "Go."

After receiving the order from the Emperor of Chu, Supervisor Zhang did not stay for long and turned around and left directly.

After Supervisor Zhang left, the Emperor of Chu leaned back on the recliner, closed his eyes, and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would succeed in Yunlai Mansion after placing chess pieces in every place. Qishu, my Da Chu finally has it."

The two words "qishu" are his biggest layout.

As the emperor of Da Chu, only his family knows his own affairs.

He knows very well how Da Chu came.

It rose from humble beginnings, but at the last moment, it overthrew the rule of Dafeng and gained a foothold here. Only he knows the sadness in the middle.

But from the beginning to the end, Da Chu has always had the most important drawback.

It is not evil and weird, nor is it the evil way of the rivers and lakes, but Qishu.

Established on Dafeng Country, it took over the territory of Dafeng Country.

But only this destiny was completely closed by Dafeng Country at the last moment.

A country without destiny may not produce any abnormalities in the short term, but over time, the disadvantages will be revealed.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are still minor matters.

So from beginning to end, the King of Chu was seeking destiny.

In the end, he found that the strong wind did not cut off all destiny, but hid all destiny in the tunnel.

I thought I could take everything and let destiny return to Dachu, but the result was completely different.

The whole tunnel was a feng shui formation, an extremely powerful feng shui formation, which tied up all destiny and could not be found.

Supervisor Zhang was the strongest feng shui master in Dachu. After many failures, he also got nothing, and finally came up with a method.

——The person who tied the bell must untie it.

To really find destiny, the only way is to let the old people of Dafeng Country open the current feng shui pattern.

So, the King of Chu set up this plan.

He has all the tunnels and the most critical points of all the Feng Shui formations, but he lacks someone who can break the formations, and this person must be an old man from the Dafeng Kingdom.

As long as he can break one point, Supervisor Zhang can use it as a basis to take over all the luck.

He has people planted in every place in Jingzhou Prefecture, and he also has spies planted in the dark building.

But he never expected that Yunlai Prefecture would be the first to break it.

"Anyway, this is the best result." Emperor Chu opened his eyes again, and even at his level, he still couldn't suppress his joy.

"Xu Bai, if he is really my noble man, what kind of reward should he be given for this success?"

Emperor Chu stood up, came to the desk, took out a folded paper, picked up the brush, thought for a long time, but didn't write.

"I am the emperor, and my word is law. He did accomplish this task, and I should give him a chance to make his own way. But I am unwilling to let such a good talent slip away."

"But how can I explain to my brother? If I break my promise, I am sure that my brother will come to me and throw a tantrum. It's a headache, a headache!"

The King of Chu put down the brush, sat on the chair, and sighed.

He just stared at the blank letter, thinking for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.

After a while, the King of Chu sighed again.

He picked up the brush again and wrote on the letter.

There was a line of words on it.

"Yun Zihai and Xu Bai have done a great job in destroying the Dark Tower. They deserve a reward. Yun Zihai is now rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver and a fourth-grade ascending brush from the royal treasury."

"Reward Xu Bai with a one-month viewing time below the fourth floor of the royal treasury. He needs to go to the royal treasury on his own."

After writing, the Emperor Chu put down the brush with satisfaction and nodded.

"This time, I have not broken my promise and even gave you a reward. Brother, you can't throw a tantrum anymore."

"When he comes to the capital, it's unknown who he will follow."

"My stupid brother, don't you know that talents are robbed?"

The Emperor Chu came to the window and the window opened automatically.

Looking at the night outside the window, the Emperor Chu thought to himself: "Besides, Xu Bai is all the way to the capital, and I can complete a new plan again."

...

Several days have passed since the last incident.

During this period of time, Xu Bai was the most relaxed, and Yun Zihai was the most tired.

Without the biggest crisis, Yun Zihai became completely busy and could not get away from various affairs.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Feng finally left Yunlai Mansion, and he left with sadness before leaving.

These days, he changed a place every day, but there was not a single fish.

Qin Feng attributed the reason to bad Feng Shui, and finally left with an angry face.

As for why it was Feng Shui, because he had no other reason.

Especially when he saw an ordinary person's full fish basket, he almost fainted.

After Qin Feng left, Xu Bai also returned to Yinyi.

During this period of time, he still lived an ordinary life as usual.

In the morning, he taught Chu Yu, and usually went to Yinyi to see if there were any good things.

By the way, he would work hard on the book given by Yun Zihai.

Unfortunately, apart from the pottery jar, he really didn't find anything good.

"Okay, today's class is over, you go back and rest." Xu Bai looked at Chu Yu and said.

This time, Chu Yu did not leave, but gritted her teeth, as if she was struggling with something, grabbing the corners of her clothes with both hands, kneading them constantly, and the corners of her clothes were about to wrinkle.

"What's wrong?" Xu Bai asked.

Chu Yu raised her head and said, "Master, I received a pigeon letter yesterday, and I'm leaving."

"Leaving?" Xu Bai was slightly stunned, then reacted and said, "Going back to the army?"

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Well, my father said that I have learned enough, it's time to go back, I can't keep causing trouble for you."

At this point, Chu Yu lowered her head again.

Chu Yu has been very happy during her time here.

Although she is a heartless person, she is particularly free here.

There is no need to consider the various rules of the palace, nor the rules of the army. She is free and can do whatever she wants.

Although Xu Bai had to take care of her and she had to learn so many things every day, she was still quite happy.

It was really hard to adapt to the sudden departure.

"Look up." Xu Bai said.

Chu Yu raised her head at once, her eyes were a little wet.

"All good things must come to an end. Are you going back alone this time?" Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said.

If Chu Yu went back alone, Xu Bai would still be a little worried.

Although Chu Yu had learned a lot of experience and had mastered it during this period of time, this section of the road was quite long, and it was inevitable that there would be risks if she went alone.

I don't know how Chu Yu ran here alone at that time.

Chu Yu hummed softly and said, "I'm not going alone. Dad said that in a few days, Eunuch Wei will come to Yunlai Mansion and have something important to announce. I will go back with Eunuch Wei."

"Eunuch Wei?" Xu Bai was relieved when he heard Chu Yu say this, and repeated it subconsciously.

"A very old-fashioned old man." Chu Yu gestured and described it in an exaggerated way: "He is the head of the eunuchs in the palace, but he is particularly old-fashioned. Sometimes when his hair is messy, he will scold him for a long time. Every member of the royal family has been scolded by him."

Xu Bai: "..."

So he is really old-fashioned.

"But my father didn't say what he came to Yunlai Mansion for." Chu Yu wrinkled her nose and said, "Anyway, I have to follow him back. It's so boring."

Xu Bai smiled and said, "Actually, you can't say that. You have learned something, so you naturally have to use it. When the time comes, be prepared to surprise the prince."

Hearing this, Chu Yu felt a little better and waved her little fist: "The current Chu Yu is no longer the Chu Yu of the past. I am the smart Chu Yu!"

Xu Bai touched Chu Yu's head and said, "Okay, smart Chu Yu, go back and review quickly. Since you are leaving in a few days, I will also prepare and teach you more in the next few days."

After saying this, Chu Yu's face fell instantly.

"Woo, woo, woo, I thought I could relax for two days."

In Chu Yu's resentful eyes, Xu Bai pushed Chu Yu's back and pushed Chu Yu away directly.

Looking at Chu Yu's back, Xu Bai was still waving.

"Smart Chu Yu, tomorrow's classes will be doubled..."

Chu Yu's body tilted and almost fell to the ground.

...

Looking at Chu Yu's back, after Chu Yu left completely, Xu Bai withdrew his hand, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and turned back to sit in the house.

He poured a cup of tea, took a sip, put the teacup back on the table, and gently turned the teacup with his fingers.

"The head of the eunuchs, come to Yunlai Mansion to announce the big things?"

Xu Bai thought more than Chu Yu, especially when he heard that it was the head of the eunuchs, he thought more.

Now that the matter is basically over, the crisis of Yunlai Mansion is gone, so the rest is to reward according to merit.

After all, it is a great thing. It is normal to reward according to merit for destroying the conspiracy of the dark building.

According to the previous agreement, the emperor would not say anything about recruiting, but Xu Bai always felt that it would not be so simple.

The emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom is an old scheming person, and you can see it from his recent plans.

Some things must be guarded against.

But the problem is very complicated now, and he doesn't even know what the opponent's tricks are.

"Take it one step at a time, and see what tricks the emperor will come up with first." Xu Bai drank another sip of tea and thought secretly.

After making the decision, Xu Bai felt at ease, and then he took out the book given by Yun Zihai from his arms.

The real harvest in the past few days is this book.

The progress bar is almost full. According to Xu Bai's estimation, it will take at most one stick of incense to harvest.

As a professional harvester of progress bars, Xu Bai now has a very accurate grasp of time.

"Start working hard!" Xu Bai rubbed his face hard and began to work hard.

...

As time passed, slowly, the progress bar was finally full.

Light blue smoke appeared, and gradually formed a line of text in front of him.

[You read the nameless book and comprehend the new art of sex! ]

Xu Bai: “???”

What?

Am I seeing this right?

What is this?

Xiao Jin, you have changed and started to become indecent.

Looking at the four words “New Art of Sex” in front of him, Xu Bai felt bad.

In fact, he had already guessed it, after all, the content of this book was really exciting.

But he always held a glimmer of hope.

As a result, the reality was that his hope was wrong.

“What do I want this thing for?”

“Have I protected my kidney well?”

Xu Bai, who couldn’t help complaining, finally started to complain in his heart.

The light blue text disappeared and turned into information that poured into Xu Bai’s mind.

However, this process has not been completed yet, and new text appeared.

Xu Bai is very clear about this situation. This is due to fusion, otherwise it will not appear a second time.

But in the case of fusion, most of the skills are of the same type.

“I understand, I still have indecent skills.” Xu Bai thought confidently in his heart.

The light blue smoke quickly gathered, and new text appeared again.

[Found a fusion option, fusion in progress. ]

[Kidney Strengthening Method + New Bed Technique = Kidney Strengthening Collection Technique. ]

[Fusion Successful. ]

…

A large amount of information merged into Xu Bai's mind, and the latest attribute panel appeared.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Fifth-Rank Wanderer. ]

[Three-Shot Breaking Style (Level 4): Full Level. ]

[Reversing the Yin and Yang of Purple Sky Gangfeng (Level 5.5): Full Level. ]

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

[Four-Step Method (Level 3): Full Level. ]

[Star Shift (Level 4): Full Level. ]

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

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

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

[Essence of Paper Tie (Level 5): Full Level. 】

【Comprehension: Full level. 】

…

After Xu Bai mastered this skill, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Although it looks very unserious, it's really good."

The original kidney-strengthening method is a fourth-level skill, corresponding to the sixth grade, which can store the sixth grade of true energy.

And now, the kidney-strengthening collection technique after the fusion of the two can store the fifth grade of true energy. Although it only improves one grade, it is a qualitative change.

The most important thing is that the previous kidney-strengthening method has disadvantages. It requires a lot of medicinal materials to be stored in it, but now it is completely unnecessary.

The word "collection" means that the original bed-breaking technique can only be collected in a certain occasion. It is said to be collection, but it is actually beneficial to both parties.

But now it is different. Not only in a special occasion, even when walking around on weekdays, you can slowly collect true energy from the surroundings and store it in it.

The speed is very fast. According to Xu Bai's calculation, it only takes about one day to store the true energy of a fifth-grade master.

Very strong.

"Doesn't that mean that I am already a fifth-grade person, and now I have one more fifth-grade person." Xu Bai touched his chin and thought to himself.

With this, he has greatly improved in terms of protracted warfare.

Looking at the book in front of him, Xu Bai tasted it for a while, then took out the brazier and threw it in.

The flames rose, and the book gradually turned into ashes.

This was originally given to him by Yun Zihai, and there was no need to return it. He had absolute power to deal with it. In order to reduce the risk of exposing the golden finger, he burned it directly.

After the book turned into ashes, Xu Bai was relieved.

"Well, next, we have to wait for the head of the eunuchs to see what conspiracy he has."

...

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed. In these days, Xu Bai had no new progress bar to work on, so he concentrated on training Chu Yu.

Since the amount of courses increased, Chu Yu has been sighing, but her character is still very good, she didn't make a fuss, just muttered from time to time.

Today was another class as usual. After the class, Xu Bai was about to let Chu Yu go back to rest, but unexpectedly, a flapping sound of wings was heard, and a white pigeon flew in from outside and landed on Xu Bai's desk.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows when he saw it.

He recognized this pigeon, it was the pigeon of Yunlai Mansion, specially used to communicate with Yinyi.

When he saw this pigeon, he already understood what happened, but he still reached out to take the letter inside.

Opening the paper, a line of words jumped out.

"Brother Xu, someone from the capital has come to deliver the imperial edict. Please come to Yunlai Mansion immediately."

The handwriting on it is Yun Zihai's, and the explanation is clear. It seems that the eunuch Wei Gonggong, the head of the eunuchs, has come.

Chu Yu came to Xu Bai like a curious baby, her little head kept arching randomly, and her eyes were also looking at the contents of the paper.

When she saw what was written on it clearly, her little face immediately became bitter, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"I want to go back..." Chu Yu's face was full of sadness, and she didn't know why she made such a grand matter of going home.

"Let's go, no matter what, we have to go and see." Xu Bai took Chu Yu out of the room, handed the matter to Liu Er, and rushed to Yunlai Mansion.

Since the person has come, let's meet him and see what he is doing.

The two did not stop along the way. When they arrived at the government office, they saw that the door of the government office was open, and an old man in eunuch clothes was standing inside.

The old man had gray hair and wrinkles on his face, but he had no beard and was completely bald.

If you look at it from the surface, the old man is already very old, but his straight back and the light in his eyes can tell others that the old man is not an ordinary person.

Yun Zihai stood beside him, as if communicating with the old man.

Xu Bai brought Chu Yu and walked in directly. When the two of them walked in, the old man's ears moved and he looked over in the direction of the sound.

Eunuch Wei came here this time to convey the news of His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time, he wanted to see what kind of person Xu Bai was.

As a confidant of the emperor, there are many things that need to be done well, just like now.

When Eunuch Wei turned his head and saw Xu Bai coming in from the door, he was obviously stunned for a moment.

Of course, he also knew Chu Yu next to him, after all, Chu Yu was scolded a lot when she was in the palace.

But what interested Eunuch Wei more was Xu Bai.

"This person is not simple."

When Eunuch Wei saw Xu Bai for the first time, these five words instantly came to his mind.
