Chapter 123: One Encounter After Another (8000)

This Yinyi is not big, on the contrary, it is quite small.

There are not many people in the Yinyi, only four or five people set up stalls.

In addition, Xu Bai is the only outsider.

When Xu Bai felt something unusual and looked up, he found that more than ten people came in from outside.

These dozen people each led their horses into the Yinyi, tied up the horses, and began to find a place to rest.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that these people knew each other.

They didn't seem to intend to hide it, just going through the motions, exchanging glances with each other in a more conspicuous way.

Xu Bai's eyes swept across the waists of these people, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Everyone had a long sword on his waist. Although the styles of the long swords were different, they were all the same weapons.

"Twelve." Xu Bai roughly counted them, ate another bite of dry food, and pretended to be indifferent.

His current situation is special, and he encountered special things, so he waited and saw what would happen.

Among the twelve people, the leader was a man of about thirty years old, wearing a low-key cloth and looking very ordinary.

After he entered Yinyi, he subconsciously glanced at Xu Bai and continued to rest, seemingly not taking Xu Bai seriously.

Xu Bai had been eating, thinking while eating.

After a while, he ate the remaining dry food in his hand and stood up.

Originally, he was still observing whether the other party was here to kill him. Now it seems that they were.

The reason was nothing else, that is, the leader's glance at the beginning.

A very plain glance, almost no lingering on Xu Bai.

Maybe in normal times, this kind of look is nothing.

But this is Yinyi, and there is only Xu Bai in Yinyi.

If it were a normal person, he would at least look at him for a while longer, after all, he is the only one who is not from the post station.

But this leader glanced directly, pretending to be careless, acting too much.

Of course, this is just Xu Bai's guess, or he may be wrong, but it's not a big problem.

Anyway, he has to go, just be careful.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai walked to his horse, rode on a fast horse, and left Yinyi.

When Xu Bai gradually moved away from Yinyi, the twelve people looked at each other.

One person couldn't help it and asked, "Boss, why don't we do it?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the leader: "You are doing it in Yinyi, are you tired of living?"

What is Yinyi? Even if it is a small Yinyi, it is the place of the Great Chu State.

Their goal is not Yinyi, so it is better to avoid trouble.

At this point, the leading man made a gesture and said, "Follow him, wait until we get to a secluded place, and do it directly."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded repeatedly, rode on fast horses, and chased after Xu Bai's position.

...

Outside Yinyi.

The leader looked at the empty wilderness and frowned.

They had been waiting for a while, and there was no trace of Xu Bai.

But fortunately, there were still horse hoof prints on the ground.

"Follow the horse hoof prints." The leader said.

"Yes!" The other eleven people agreed and chased in the direction of the horse hoof prints.

After passing Yinyi, there was a vast wilderness. Twelve people rode horses and galloped in the wilderness.

The leader followed the horse hoof prints. The further he chased, the more he felt something was wrong.

The feeling of uneasiness continued to spread.

After chasing for about an incense stick of time, a dead tree appeared not far ahead.

And next to the dead tree, there was a horse parked.

"It's Xu Bai's horse!" The leader was stunned, and then reacted: "We've been tricked!"

There was only one horse left in the wilderness, which undoubtedly showed that the other party already knew about them.

"Be alert!"

The leader shouted.

The remaining eleven people reacted very quickly. They all turned over from their horses, stood in different positions, and were alert in all directions.

Everyone stood in a different position. When they all found their own positions, they gave people a feeling like an iron barrel.

Formation!

These twelve people used a unique formation.

When the formation was first formed, a voice sounded in the wilderness.

"I thought it had some ability, but it turned out to be a formation. No wonder they dared to chase me."

The leader was startled and looked in the direction of the voice. He found Xu Bai standing not far away, looking at them with a playful look on his face.

"Kill!"

Since he had been discovered, he no longer concealed it and shouted loudly.

The remaining eleven people followed the leader and chased Xu Bai at a very fast speed.

Even though the speed was extremely fast, they were still not disrupted.

The murderous aura rose from them, making this desolate wilderness look unusually murderous.

Xu Bai looked at the twelve people rushing over, smiled, and stretched out his right index finger.

Pointing his index finger to the sky, the purse on his waist began to shake violently.

The next moment, countless copper coins flew out of the purse, as if they had spirits, and kept spinning around Xu Bai.

"Swoosh--"

A sound of breaking through the air sounded, which was particularly clear in the wilderness.

As the first copper coin flew out, the remaining hundreds of copper coins seemed to have received an order, and all rushed towards the twelve people.

Hundreds of copper coins were flying, and the scene was extremely shocking.

"Defense!"

The leader shouted when he saw this.

The twelve people changed their formation, from the initial sharp knife shape to a semicircle.

The first few dozen copper coins were picked up by the long sword and changed their direction.

The twelve people waved their long swords in their hands one after another, waving them tightly.

The sound of Dingdingdangdang kept ringing, like a piece of music in the wilderness, and it was endless.

"Get closer!" said the leader.

The speed of waving the long sword became faster, and they were pulling away from Xu Bai.

The blown copper coins, under the blessing of Huifeng Liuxue, turned a corner and attacked again.

Then, a dramatic scene appeared.

The twelve people were blocked by the copper coins that attacked again and could no longer deposit.

The copper coins seemed tireless. After being swept away, they continued to attack.

There was a black light on it, and it released a strong wind from time to time, especially the strong wind of hundreds of copper coins. The twelve people could only try their best to maintain defense.

The leader was stunned.

This... is really just a seventh-grade master?

"The information must be wrong!" The leader said angrily: "It's been so long, and there is no updated information. Is the pigeon tower a vegetarian?"

The leader was already numb with the ability to manipulate copper coins.

This thing is completely unstoppable.

The opponent even stood there without moving a step. If they moved, they would probably be defeated immediately.

"Pigeon Tower?" Xu Bai raised his eyebrows: "What a strange name, but... just right."

The sudden name proves that the other party seems to know something.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai raised his ghost-head knife and slashed out a gust of wind.

The three-step break plus the gust of wind instantly broke the defense of the twelve people who could only barely resist.

Countless copper coins passed through the twelve people. In the blink of an eye, dense blood holes appeared on the twelve people's bodies and they lay on the ground motionless.

Xu Bai waved his hand, and the copper coins stopped, but did not return to the purse, but floated around to be alert.

The twelve people did not die, Xu Bai spared their lives.

They were lying on the ground, enduring pain, unable to stand up again.

Xu Bai walked closer, looked at the group of people with interest, and said to the leader: "Tell me, who sent you here, and what is the pigeon tower?"

Everyone present remained silent.

Xu Bai had already thought of this scene, after all, not everyone had a question.

"There's not much of this medicine left. This time when I go to the capital, I'll ask Qingxue for more." Xu Bai took out a bottle of medicine, which was obtained from Qingxue. It was an extremely painful medicine used for interrogation.

Looking at the twelve silent people in front of him, Xu Bai touched his chin.

"Who should I choose?"

His eyes passed over the faces of the people in front of him, and then stopped in front of one person.

Just now, this person showed a trace of fear when his eyes swept over him.

Scared?

That's easy.

The reason why Xu Bai saved the lives of twelve people was for this moment.

If he left one person, and this person happened to be a tough guy, and he couldn't get what he wanted, then he would lose a lot.

It's different now. With weak people, everything becomes simple.

"You don't want to suffer, do you?" Xu Bai shook the medicine, walked up to the man, and said lightly: "After taking this medicine, you will feel endless pain, just like thousands of ants biting your body, but you can't die."

As Xu Bai spoke, the fear on the man's face became more and more.

The leader also saw this scene and shouted: "Twelve! Can't say!"

After the leader said this, the person who showed fear at the beginning was gradually calming down.

Xu Bai just smiled slightly, walked up to the leader, and stepped on the leader's mouth.

"Crack!"

A crisp bone-breaking sound came, and the leader's jaw was directly crushed by Xu Bai, and he let out a terrible howl.

A pill was taken out by Xu Bai and thrown into the leader's mouth.

The next moment, the screams stopped abruptly.

The veins on the leader's forehead bulged, and he kept rolling on the ground. He no longer screamed, but could only sob constantly.

"When the pain reaches a certain level, he won't be able to scream." Xu Bai held the medicine bottle, like an experimenter doing an experiment, and patiently explained.

Seeing this scene, Twelve's face showed fear again.

Especially seeing the leader's painful appearance, and then looking at Xu Baiyun's calm appearance, it formed a strong contrast.

At this moment, Twelve finally couldn't hold it anymore, and his whole body was shaking violently.

"Your name is Twelve, right?" Xu Bai said slowly.

"Please, give me a quick death, I'll tell you everything!" Twelve's voice was trembling, and he was extremely scared.

"Idiot!"

"Waste!"

"Coward!"

The people around him all started to curse, expressing their disdain.

Being cursed like this, Twelve lowered his head, feeling extremely ashamed.

Xu Bai was unaware, and said in an extremely calm voice: "Why should a living person care about a bunch of dead people?"

There was something behind his words, and Twelve heard it.

"You said... I can live?" Twelve said excitedly.

"Just tell me honestly, and I will let you live." Xu Bai smiled.

"I say! We are assassins from Zimu Mansion, from the Pigeon Tower of Zimu Mansion, and the Pigeon Tower is..." Twelve began to explain slowly.

As Twelve explained, Xu Bai gradually understood.

The Pigeon Tower was built in Zimu Mansion.

Zimu Mansion was the first place Xu Bai went to on this trip.

In this world, it is normal to have a killer organization, and the so-called Pigeon Tower is the killer organization of Zimu Mansion.

They only take on matters around Zimu Mansion and matters of people in the world.

Pigeon Tower is very smart. It does not touch officials of the court or ordinary people. After all, in the Great Chu Kingdom, these two things cannot be touched.

In this regard, the prefectural commander of Zimu Mansion did not say anything.

After all, His Majesty has said that the affairs of the world are handed over to the Jiantian Division, and the fighting and killing in the world have nothing to do with him as the prefectural commander.

And the Jiantian Division does not care about this.

It is just a killer organization of a mansion, and it dares not, let alone has the ability to kill big people.

As for killing some small things in the world, it actually reduces the affairs of the Jiantian Division.

Fewer people means less chaos, and the Jiantian Division is happy to see it happen.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Where are you located? Are there any masters?"

Twelve opened his mouth and prepared to speak.

At this time, Xu Bai interrupted him.

"To be honest, I'm ready to take you with me. If you lie and get me into trouble, you, as a traitor, can't escape."

This sentence dispelled Twelve's last thought.

You can't tell lies, you must answer truthfully.

"The Pigeon Tower is divided into three levels: gold, silver and bronze. We are gold medal killers, with a sixth-grade cultivation. Above us is the owner of the building. It is said that the owner of the building has a fifth-grade cultivation. As for what the owner of the building is, we don't know." Twelve spoke very quickly, not daring to hide anything.

"Only the fifth grade." Xu Bai grinned and said, "Since it's a killer, someone must have placed an order. Do you know who it is?"

Twelve shook his head quickly and said, "Only the owner of the building knows, we don't know."

As he said, he looked at Xu Bai with an extremely hopeful look.

He has said everything he should say, and now he should let him go.

"I never thought that you killers are so naive?" Xu Bai said.

Twelve's breathing stagnated.

The knife flashed, and Twelve's head flew high.

Xu Bai turned his head and looked at the remaining people, swinging the ghost-head knife one after another.

Soon, there were only corpses on the field.

Xu Bai searched one by one, and there was nothing else except some silver bills.

As for those weapons, they were useless to him.

After doing these things, he did not stop, rode on a fast horse, and rushed to Zimu Mansion without stopping.

...

There was no more obstruction along the way.

When Xu Bai arrived, it was already late.

He found a place to stay, handed the fast horse to the waiter, returned to the room that had been opened, and took out a set of black clothes from his bag to change into.

After changing into black clothes, he covered his face and walked directly to the street outside.

At night, there were no nighttime entertainment activities, and almost no one passed by many places.

Xu Bai took advantage of the night and shuttled through the streets.

Soon, he came to a store.

According to the information given by Twelve, the nest of the Pigeon Tower is in the Purple Wood Mansion.

The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. It is especially safe to build it in the Purple Wood Mansion.

The way the Pigeon Tower entertains guests is also very secretive.

If you want to find a killer, you first need a lead, and the so-called lead is the person the Pigeon Tower has planted in the Purple Wood Mansion.

They are responsible for finding interested guests and taking them to a secret place. Naturally, there will be people from the Pigeon Tower who will come to ask about the price and other things.

From beginning to end, the guests will not be allowed to touch the roots of the Pigeon Tower.

Xu Bai stood in front of the shop and narrowed his eyes.

Unlike Yunlai Mansion, the Purple Wood Mansion is not remote. Compared with Yunlai Mansion, it is much more prosperous.

Even the shops on the street are very spacious.

The shop in front of you has a courtyard and can accommodate many people.

As usual, since it is a business, it is about integrity.

Xu Bai used to cooperate with Liu Xu Wu Hua, then with Yun Zi Hai, and finally with Sheng You Wang. They all took money to do things without delay.

Now that the emperor gave him twenty-one books of the Unknown Sword Scripture, he certainly took money to do things.

He didn't plan to do any more investigations. After all, he had clues, so he just came to get them.

He could still deal with the Pigeon Tower, which was the highest level of fifth-grade strength.

Of course, he would be cautious.

Looking at the closed door of the shop in front of him, Xu Bai waved his hand.

A paper crane flew out of another purse on his waist.

The paper crane was very small, only the size of the little finger nail.

As the paper crane appeared, Xu Bai stretched out his hand and pointed, and the paper crane flew directly into the shop along the outer wall.

"The practicality of this paper-binding technique is better than I thought." Xu Bai touched his chin and said secretly.

After doing all this, he found a secret place and waited.

…

After the paper crane flew into the wall, it followed the darkness and quietly found a corner.

Behind the wall was a courtyard, which was empty.

There were no lights in the houses around, only the light in one room was on.

The paper crane stayed in the air for a moment and flew towards the light.

At this time, Xu Bai, who was in a hidden place on the street, was sensing through the paper crane.

As the paper crane approached, he could hear the sound inside.

"Hmm... Hmm..."

Xu Bai, who was standing in the corner of the street, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

This sound was wrong.

The soft female voice, mixed with the strong male voice, gradually subsided after a stick of incense.

"Owner, are you feeling better?" the female voice said.

A sturdy male voice sounded: "Well, this time we actually lost twelve gold medal killers. It was really a mistake. If I had known Xu Bai was so strong, I would have made more preparations."

"Alas, it's not the host's fault for not making preparations. It's mainly because Xu Bai is too strong." The soft female voice came out again.

"Of course, why don't you try again!" said the host.

At this time, another special voice came out.

After a moment, the sound in the room suddenly turned into panic.

"You, what are you doing!" This is the voice of the host.

"What, of course I'm squeezing you dry." The soft female voice was proud.

"No, no, no! Stop it!"

...

Outside the secret corner, Xu Bai was stunned.

"Not good!"

It seems that in addition to the pigeon building, there is also a third party joining, and now the host of this pigeon building is being silenced.

Xu Bai didn't have time to think, he walked out of the corner directly, flipped over, and flipped over the wall.

If this clue is lost, wouldn't it be a big loss?

As he climbed into it, he immediately rushed to the only room with light on.

But before he arrived, he saw a pink mist rising in the room.

The door of the room was opened from the inside, and a mummy was thrown out.

Through this door, Xu Bai saw a white body flashing in the room.

"Mr. Xu is here as expected. I really want to spend a night with Mr. Xu and let him experience the happiness of the world."

The white body gradually became clear, and the naked beauty walked out of it, which made people's blood boil.

Xu Bai looked at the mummy in front of him, and remembered the strong voice before, and smiled: "Collecting Yang to replenish Yin, the art of collecting and replenishing."

After all, he was a man who had completed the new bed technique and integrated it into the kidney-strengthening collection technique, so he still had some knowledge.

"Hehe..." The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, her chest was full of waves, dazzling: "It seems that Mr. Xu also understands this, so... Mr. Xu, do you want to experience it?"

"Of course." Xu Bai said: "But you have to tell me who is behind you."

If it was just this woman who was against him, he would never believe it.

"It depends on whether Mr. Xu can satisfy me." The woman walked towards Xu Bai step by step with her slender legs.

As she walked, the pink mist around her kept flowing and surging towards Xu Bai.

As soon as the pink mist surrounded him, Xu Bai felt an impulse coming over him.

This attack came too fast, but Xu Bai didn't mean to hide.

New bed technique, are you kidding?

That's something that helps men stand up.

As we all know, men are always at a disadvantage in this regard.

But now, Xu Bai is different.

This pink mist in front of him is like a primary school student, and he can see through it at a glance.

In the pink mist, Xu Bai suddenly felt his waist tighten, and at the same time, his neck was entangled.

"I want to see how strong this man who is favored by the emperor is..." the woman said with a sweet breath.

At this time, a hand went along the woman's chest and held her neck.

In the woman's horrified eyes, he was lifted up by Xu Bai.

"You are too dirty." Xu Bai said lightly.

"How come you're fine?" the woman said in disbelief.

This was her first failure, and also the most incredible one.

Xu Bai came closer and whispered a few words...

"Silkworms entangled, dragons twisting, fish flats, swallows of the same heart, jade interlaced, air-flipping butterflies, back-flying ducks..."

As Xu Bai spoke slowly, the woman's eyes suddenly widened, her face full of disbelief.

"How come you have so many!"

Her three views were severely shattered, this was too much to understand!

"You have a chance to survive." Xu Bai said slowly without saying anything else.

As soon as the voice fell, the woman fell silent.

"It seems that you don't want to live." Xu Bai said again.

The woman was pinched by Xu Bai like this, and sneered: "It's just the master's task, I will not betray the master."

After speaking, her face suddenly turned red, and then her body kept twisting.

"Since you understand this business, you know what I'm doing now..."

Xu Bai let go of his hand and let the woman fall to the ground.

The woman seemed to have lost her mind, twisting on the ground, and then crawling towards Xu Bai.

"Quick..."

Xu Bai raised his foot and kicked the woman in the chest, making the woman lose her breath.

There is a knife above the word "lust".

This woman turned lust into a knife, and there is no cure.

According to the explanation in the new bed technique, this woman is no longer save, at least Xu Bai can't save her.

Looking at the body of the woman in front of him, Xu Bai frowned even deeper.

He began to search in the room, searching every room.

Every room was full of dried corpses.

Apart from that, nothing was found.

"Let's leave first." Looking at the corpses on the ground, Xu Bai did not stay and left directly.

...

After leaving the store, he returned to the inn and carefully sorted out the clues for tonight.

As for the clues, it seems that there are no more.

But it doesn't matter if they are gone. As long as he is here, there will be troubles, and there will always be clues.

Every time he makes a move, it is an opportunity to collect clues. Unless the other party does not make a move, he will find it sooner or later.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai calmed down a little, took out the first book of the Nameless Sword Scripture from the wooden box, looked at the progress bar on it that was about to be completed, and continued to work hard.

He worked hard until late at night, and it was getting late. Considering that the more dangerous it was, the more he had to stay in a good mental state, Xu Bai released the fifth-grade paper man and asked him to guard it, and he went to bed early.

...

The next day.

Xu Bai woke up from his sleep, put away the fifth-grade paper man guarding beside him, and took out the Nameless Sword Scripture again.

It's almost done.

Soon, he can finish this book.

Although there are still twenty books to be worked on, everything should be done slowly and in no hurry.

As for what happened last night, let's talk about it later. In his eyes, nothing is more important than the progress bar.

As time went by, the progress bar gradually grew and finally became perfect.

In Xu Bai's sight, light blue smoke appeared, and the light blue smoke in the air gradually turned into words after it appeared.

【You observed the Nameless Sword Scripture and comprehended the Armor Breaking Twenty-four Steps (Incomplete). 】

"Hmm... Armor Breaking Twenty-four... Steps?"

At first, Xu Bai didn't react. When he reacted, he found that there was a difference of one word between the name and what he imagined.

"Steps? Body movement?" Xu Bai thought secretly.

After a little thought, he figured out the mystery.

A truly powerful sword technique is not just a sword technique. It can make people enter the first level. It must include other things, including mental skills, footwork, etc.

"In other words, once all the skills are finished, maybe I will have many skills that are strengthened." Xu Bai quickly came to a conclusion.

Of course, this is just a guess. Everything will have to wait until the future. If the future is finished, it will be as he thought, then it must be a good result.

After the light blue text appeared, it gradually disappeared, and then, in less than a breath, it gathered again, and this time it was fused.

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

[24 Steps to Break Armor (Incomplete) + Four Steps = Break Armor 2nd Turn. ]

Xu Bai: “…”

Sure enough, it was still Xiao Jin’s previous naming method, popular and easy to understand.

A large amount of information merged into his mind, and the light blue text in front of him disappeared, turning into Xu Bai’s latest panel.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Fifth-Rank Wanderer. ]

[Breaking Three Styles (Level 4): Full Level. ]

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

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

[Breaking Armor 2nd Turn (Level 4): Full Level. ]

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

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

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

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

【Essence of Paper-Bending (Level 5): Full Level. 】

【Immortal Body (Remnant) (Level 5): Full Level. 】

【Comprehension: Full Level. 】

…

The skill level has changed from Level 3 to Level 4, and the corresponding level is the level of Grade 6.

First of all, this is a huge change. After Xu Bai understood the information in his mind, he pulled out the ghost-headed knife in the room.

The next moment, the true energy surged, and the second turn of Xingpo was used.

His feet only moved slightly, but in an instant, he brought the ghost-headed knife and reached the other side in an instant.

The speed has a qualitative difference. Now if he faces the crisis he encountered before, for example, the Feng Shui master You Mu last time, You Mu may not be able to hurt him with this step alone.

Although this skill only corresponds to a Grade 6 master, and You Mu was a Grade 5 master at that time, don’t forget that his skill is at the full level.

Xu Bai nodded with satisfaction, destroyed the book according to the old rules, and took out another one from the wooden box.

Just when he was about to continue, he stopped again.

I have been traveling a lot recently and have never eaten enough. Now that I have a place to stay, I will go out for a meal first.

It just happened that I would give the other party a chance.

After all, if he stayed here all the time, the other party would not have the opportunity to attack.

According to the agreement with the emperor, he would stay for a period of time in each of the marked places. As for how long he would stay, it depends on whether the other party makes any movement.

If the other party does not make any movement, he will stay for at most four or five days and leave, but now that there is movement, he will certainly not let it go.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai put the book back into the wooden box, carried it with him, and walked outside.

Zimu Mansion is much more prosperous than Yunlai Mansion, with a much larger area and a more lively street.

Walking on the street, Xu Bai felt the lively hawking and the surging flow of people around him, and casually found a stall to eat and ordered one or two side dishes.

Not long after, the side dishes were served, and a bowl of porridge was also served.

But Xu Bai just took a look and didn't eat any more.

"In order to deal with me, you really used all means."

Looking at the normal dishes in front of him, Xu Bai curled his lips.

The dishes were ordinary, home-cooked stir-fried dishes with a bowl of porridge, sitting here was quite enjoyable.

Of course, that was only at ordinary times.

In Xu Bai's eyes, the dishes in front of him were full of poison.

Ordinary people couldn't find it, and if they didn't understand poison, they couldn't see through it, but those who had the true solution of a hundred poisons could see it.

Xu Bai stood up, turned his head, and left this place directly.

The owner of this stall was just an ordinary person. The people around him greeted him. Obviously, he had opened a shop here a long time ago.

It seemed that he was poisoned in the middle or at the beginning, but Xu Bai didn't find out who poisoned him.

After leaving this stall, Xu Bai found several places to eat in succession, and the situation just now never happened again.

After he was full and drunk, he rushed to the inn.

Since no one is bothering me, I can go back and continue working hard.

Xu Bai thought as he walked.

It was already noon when he arrived at the inn.

He went up the stairs of the inn to the second floor, found his room at the corner, unlocked the door, and pushed the door open.

But when the door was opened, the sound of the mechanism turning was heard.

8,000 words in one chapter, I can't do more than that.
