Chapter 124 The Immortal Body Shows Its Power for the First Time (8000)

When the sound of the mechanism sounded, Xu Bai had already put his hand on the ghost-head knife at his waist.

In the room, a young man in his twenties was holding a crossbow, pointing it at Xu Bai's brow.

The crossbow was strung, but there was no arrow on the bowstring.

"Zheng~"

The empty sound echoed in the room, breaking the silence of the room and filling the room with a touch of sound.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, did not draw his sword, and looked up and down at the young man.

The most eye-catching thing was the scar on the right side of the young man's face, which seemed to be injured by someone.

But the scar stayed on the young man's face, not only did it not feel ugly at all, but added a bit of ruffian.

Seeing that Xu Bai did not draw his sword, the young man put down the crossbow in his hand, stood up from the chair, arched his hands, and bent slightly.

This bow was a straight bow to the end, showing that he took it very seriously.

"Young Master of Jiqiao Pavilion, Ji Xiaoshan, I am honored to meet you, Lord Xu. I am sorry for coming here without your permission. I hope you will forgive me." Ji Xiaoshan said in a low voice, then stood up, with the scar on his face particularly eye-catching.

Xu Bai walked into the room, looked at Ji Xiaoshan with interest, and gently stroked the handle of the ghost-head knife with his right hand: "Tell me, your intention to come here, and other things, tell me everything. If I am satisfied, you will not die. If you are not satisfied, you will not be able to leave this room."

He did not give any face and closed the door with his backhand.

At this time, someone came here inexplicably, Xu Bai was quite interested, but he didn't know whether what this person brought was enough to buy his life.

Ji Xiaoshan did not panic, his hands hung on both sides, and said: "I have known that Lord Xu is moody and murderous. It seems that it is true as Wuhua said. Lord Xu is really like this."

"Wuhua?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you related to Wuhua?"

Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I last saw the monk from the Vajra Temple.

Since they parted in Sheng County, Wuhua and Liuxu returned to Jingang Temple and Qingyun Academy respectively. Although they occasionally exchanged letters later, they lost contact again due to Yun Zihai's incident.

Xu Bai still remembered that Liuxu still owed him the method of disguise.

At present, the only people who can play with Xu Bai are Liuxu Wuhua, Yun Zihai and Chuyu. Qingxue counts as half of them. As for Qin Feng, Xu Bai really wants to beat him up again.

So after hearing the news about Wuhua, Xu Bai was also a little surprised.

"Wuhua has entered the sixth rank. It is said that he is now intoxicated in Chunyu Pavilion every day, refining his mind with the world, and he is not far from the fifth rank." Ji Xiaoshan explained.

Xu Bai: "?"

Chunyu Pavilion?

Is this guy still a monk?

Refining the mind in the world can actually be done like this, Xu Bai is really open-minded.

"You know Wuhua, I will take you as real for now, come to me, what's the matter?" Xu Bai said.

"I came here this time to discuss a business deal with Lord Xu, about the business of Zimu Mansion." Ji Xiaoshan said with a firm look in his eyes: "I heard from Wuhua that Lord Xu likes to talk about business the most, and I am also catering to his preferences."

When he heard the word "business", Xu Bai also became interested.

He walked to the chair, poured a glass of water, and said: "Tell me about it."

"Lord Xu, this trip to the capital must be full of obstacles and dangers. Just this trip to Zimu Mansion, it is estimated that at least five or six forces have been eyeing it." Ji Xiaoshan said slowly: "Jiqiao Pavilion has used the intelligence it knows and has found out 90% of them. Only the last one is not clear."

"Because Lord Xu arrived, they finally surfaced."

As he said, Ji Xiaoshan put a piece of paper on the table.

Xu Bai picked up the paper and glanced at the content on it.

"Nan Family, Sun Family, Qian Family, Zhao Family, Bai Family..."

"It seems that your Jiqiao Pavilion has good information."

"Of course." Ji Xiaoshan said: "Jiqiao Pavilion has already investigated these five families, and the remaining family has also been investigated."

Speaking of this, Ji Xiaoshan stopped talking.

"What do you need?" Xu Bai tapped the table with his fingers, making a rhythmic sound: "Speak, be direct."

Ji Xiaoshan put the crossbow back into his waist and said: "Master Xu is indeed a straightforward person. I won't waste time. What Jiqiao Pavilion needs is to rely on Master Xu."

"My Jiqiao Pavilion should have been one of the best forces, but many years ago, due to an accident, most of the foundations in the pavilion were lost."

"At that time, an idiot without a soul appeared inexplicably and destroyed most of the foundations of Jiqiao Pavilion. Although he eventually severely injured that person, he also paid a heavy price."

"It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Jiqiao Pavilion needs the help of Master Xu to rebuild its past glory."

At this point, everything has been made clear.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said: "It's not just me. It seems that you, Jiqiao Pavilion, have seen the essence clearly."

He knew very well that Jiqiao Pavilion didn't want to rely on him, but the person behind him, the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom.

"There is an object in the pavilion that combines the secrets of heaven and the ingenuity of machinery. If you figure it out, the price is that the object will disappear forever." Ji Xiaoshan said slowly: "But it's all worth it. As long as it helps Lord Xu, it's worth it."

"Tell me, the information about the last force." Xu Bai said.

He didn't say it directly, but it was obvious that he had agreed in his words.

This Jiqiao Pavilion has a lot of plans.

As Ji Xiaoshan said, Jiqiao Pavilion is not as good as before, so it needs to find another way, and helping Xu Bai is to help the emperor eliminate dissidents.

Once Xu Bai successfully goes to the capital and eliminates the people the emperor wants to eliminate, Jiqiao Pavilion will also prosper because of Xu Bai.

Ji Xiaoshan's face did not change, and he said: "Thank you, Lord Xu, we also have sufficient evidence for the five families before, and we only need Lord Xu to take action, and we can solve it as it should."

Another letter was placed on the table by Ji Xiaoshan, which was evidence about those families who wanted to murder Xu Bai.

Xu Bai picked up the envelope, took a general look, and put it away silently.

The evidence on it is very solid.

"As for this last one." Ji Xiaoshan said, "We only found out that it might be related to the temple that appeared in Zimu Mansion recently, but that temple is too weird. We went to investigate it in depth, but found nothing."

Another letter was placed on Xu Bai's desk, which was about the temple.

Xu Bai picked up the letter and read it carefully again, frowning.

According to the letter, this temple was built less than half a year ago, and it was built on Songhe Mountain not far from Zimu Mansion.

There is nothing unusual about the temple. Since its establishment, many pilgrims have gone there. It is said that after praying to Buddha there, it is very effective.

Moreover, most of the pilgrims in the past were women.

In addition to these, there is nothing else in the letter.

"Okay, I already know the information." Xu Bai put away the letter and said.

He didn't say anything extra.

Ji Xiaoshan knew in his heart that masters like this don't like to waste time.

As long as the other party agrees to something, it is very stable.

If you keep hesitating here, it will make the other party unhappy.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoshan said no more and bowed, "Since Lord Xu has understood, I will leave."

"Yeah." Xu Bai nodded and said lightly.

Ji Xiaoshan did not stay and turned to leave.

After Ji Xiaoshan left, Xu Bai sat on the chair, leaning his back against the back of the chair, closing his eyes and thinking.

After a long time, he opened his eyes.

"Let's see the strength of these families tonight."

Xu Bai made up his mind, took out the second book of the Nameless Sword Scripture from the wooden box, and continued to work on the progress bar.

...

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already night.

The number of people on the streets of Zimu Mansion began to decrease, and it was not until the night fell that the streets returned to being empty and deserted.

"Dong~"

"It's dry, be careful of fire~~~"

"Dong~"

In the dark streets, there were night watchmen beating one after another, rising and falling in the darkness, becoming the only sound in this dark night.

A figure passed by the street, carrying a bag on his back and a knife on his waist.

The handle of the knife was wrapped in black cloth, and the bag was also wrapped in black cloth, so only the general shape could be seen.

The figure rushed all the way, as if with a purpose, and stopped in front of a luxurious house.

At the gate of the house, on the highest sign, the words "Nan Mansion" were written.

"Nan Family." Xu Bai raised his head, a gleam in his eyes, and he flipped over the wall to enter.

...

In a room of the Nan Family.

The head of the Nan Family was sitting on a chair, looking at the dozen or so Nan family members in front of him.

"Remember, when Xu Bai enters Zimu Mansion, don't act rashly. As far as I know, someone has already taken action, but was killed by Xu Bai."

The dozen or so Nan family members present all nodded and agreed.

One asked, "Master, are we not going to take action?"

The Nan family master shook his head and said, "We must take action, but we need a suitable opportunity to make Xu Bai come and go."

Everyone present was silent, obviously agreeing with the master's words.

"Okay, everyone go down, remember, stay still during this period of time. What we need is an opportunity, not rash actions." The Nan family master said again, asking everyone to leave.

The members all nodded, agreed, stood up and walked to the door. The member closest to the door opened the door and was about to step out.

But at the moment when the door opened, a knife wrapped in black cloth stretched out from outside.

The knife carried a terrifying strong wind, and in just a moment, it passed through the necks of more than a dozen people, and the residual power cut deep marks on the surrounding ground.

This scene happened too quickly, and where the long knife passed, there were only corpses everywhere.

"Who is it!"

The head of the Nan family was some distance away from the door. He saw a strong wind coming towards him, and a hazy green light appeared on his palms, and he slapped the strong wind.

The strong wind was dispersed by the green light, and the Nan family took a step back, stabilized their bodies, and looked at the location of the door.

Before seeing the person, I heard his voice first.

"You are quite capable to block this move. No wonder you dare to plot openly and want to take my life."

Xu Bai, dressed in black, walked slowly into the house with a ghost-head knife in hand.

He had heard all the communication between the Nan family at the beginning.

"Xu Bai!" At this time, the head of the Nan family also reacted and knew who was coming.

He turned around at almost the fastest speed and wanted to escape from the window without any hesitation.

The plan had been discovered by the other party, who came to kill with a knife. It was obvious that there was no way out here.

The head of the Nan family knew very well what his strength was, and he also knew that the other party must be absolutely sure when he came. He did not choose to fight with force, but only wanted to escape first.

As for what to do after escaping, it was not within his consideration. He would leave here first, and escaping was the most important thing.

"Since you have made a choice, you have to pay the price."

The voice behind him was like the voice of gods and demons, which made the Nan family shudder. He heard a whistling sound in his ears, turned around quickly, and pressed the green light in his hand forward.

"Puff puff puff puff..."

A dull sound sounded, and the Nan family lowered his head, looking at the blood hole that spread from his chest to his whole body, his face full of horror.

He was defeated in just one encounter, and he was defeated thoroughly.

"Dead." The head of the Nan family had only this thought in his mind. He didn't think about how he was exposed until he died.

His eyes went black, and the Nan family completely lost his breath and fell to the ground.

"One." Xu Bai looked at the corpse on the ground with cold eyes.

...

Tonight's night is very dark, the sky is foggy, the dark clouds are wrapped in darkness, and the moon is hidden in the dark clouds, impenetrable.

Without the moonlight on weekdays, the streets will be several levels darker, giving people a feeling of choosing people to devour.

Xu Bai came out of the gate of the last family, and there was a thin layer of blood mist on the tip of the ghost-head knife.

"Sure enough, every family has targeted me, so the only thing left is the temple."

Five families were all destroyed by him. On the premise of having evidence, he solved these families without hesitation.

The only thing without many clues was the temple.

Xu Bai looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and took advantage of the night to walk directly outside the Zimu Mansion.

...

Songhe Mountain.

It is also a relatively famous mountain in Zimu Mansion.

Due to the unique scenery, many literati and poets stayed here and wrote many beautiful poems. It is also because of this that this mountain is famous.

If it were daytime, there would really be many people outing here, but now it is late at night, and there is no one in the mountain, only wild animals and the chirping of insects and birds.

Xu Bai came all the way here, and did not linger on the surrounding scenery, but walked directly to the foot of the mountain.

Since many people go hiking on this mountain, and even many literati and scholars, the mountain was specially built with stone stairs by the government order.

Xu Bai stood at the foot of the mountain, raised his head, looked at the winding stone stairs, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He did not stop for too long, followed the stone stairs, climbed up the steps, and walked quickly towards the top of the mountain.

…

After walking along this stone staircase for about an incense stick of time, there was only a mountain road on it.

Along the way, he did not see any temples. Looking at the mountain with only the mountain road, he continued to walk forward.

The mountain road was very steep. If it were an ordinary person here, he would not be able to walk very far and would regretfully turn around and leave.

But Xu Bai was different. If even he felt it was steep, then there would be no temples here.

The steep mountain road in front of him was like flat land. In a few ups and downs, he had already walked a long way.

The second turn of Xingpo, which has become the fourth level, is extremely powerful. Not only in various dodges and maneuvers, but also in speed.

After a while, he stopped and looked at the wilderness not far ahead.

A temple was built on the wilderness, and on the other side of the temple was a stone road.

"It turns out there is another easy way to go." Xu Bai thought to himself.

This temple is often visited by pilgrims, and most of them are female pilgrims. Naturally, it is impossible for them to take that kind of mountain road. After all, even people who often walk on mountain roads may not be able to walk here.

Now it seems that there is another way to go directly up the mountain and directly to the temple.

Xu Bai thought about it, slowly approached the temple, and came to the gate of the temple.

The wall of the temple is decorated in an ordinary way, but it looks very new on the surface. It has not been built for a long time.

At the top of this gate, there is a plaque with a few words written on it.

—— Huiguang Temple.

I have never heard of the name of this temple, nor have I seen it.

When Xu Bai was staring at the words on the plaque, he heard footsteps coming from the side.

At this time, there were still footsteps coming out, but Xu Bai did not show his figure and found this place to hide.

A moment later, an old monk came out from another mountain road, followed by a young woman.

The woman was dressed simply and looked ordinary, but her eyes were full of passion.

As he got closer, Xu Bai could also hear their conversation.

"Don't worry, female donor, the previous few times I consecrated the female donor, the female donor not only felt happy, but also got good luck. This last time is just the end. As long as you finish this last time, your good luck will be fixed."

The old monk spoke confidently, and one hand touched the waist of the young woman.

The young woman showed expectation in her eyes: "Master, as long as you can get good luck, let alone consecrating once, it doesn't matter if you consecrate every day. The man in my family doesn't know."

Xu Bai, who was hiding in the dark: "..."

This woman is just an ordinary person, and you can see it at a glance. As for the conversation between them, Xu Bai had already figured it out.

After such a detailed exchange, if you still don't understand what the so-called consecration means, then you are really too naive.

"Show." Xu Bai touched his chin and continued to watch.

The old monk brought the woman and opened the door of the room.

A foul smell came to my face.

The woman seemed not to smell it and did not find anything unusual.

Xu Bai frowned and looked at the yard.

There was a huge banyan tree in the yard, and on the banyan tree, Xu Bai always felt that he saw something flashing inside.

Because of the leaves blocking the view, the leaves were too dense, and even if you stood under the tree, you probably couldn't see it clearly.

At this time, the old monk had already walked in with the young woman and was about to close the door.

"Bang!"

The sound of the door closing sounded, and Xu Bai looked at the closed door, appeared from a hidden corner, and then came under the wall, quietly jumped onto the wall, and looked at the situation in the yard under the cover of the night.

In the courtyard, the old monk did not seem to intend to enter the house. He stood in the courtyard and put his hand on the young woman's shoulder.

"Master, are you not going in? You went into the house the last few times." The young woman asked.

The old monk smiled and shook his head, then took off his clothes, revealing his upper body that was as dry as firewood.

A trace of disgust flashed in the young woman's eyes, and then she quickly returned to normal.

For a little good luck, she was willing to do such a thing, even behind her husband's back. Now, no matter how disgusting the thing was, she had to accept it.

But the key problem was that the matter was too big.

The young woman's eyes swept across the old monk's upper body, and finally stopped at the old monk's chest.

Her disgusted expression was gone, replaced by fear and panic, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and she couldn't help but sit down on the ground.

On the old monk's chest, there was a vertical mouth, which was slowly opening, and the mouth was full of sharp teeth.

A long tongue stretched out from the mouth on the chest, and the tip of the tongue was hollow, like a straw.

"Come on, why are you afraid?" The smile in the old monk's eyes disappeared, replaced by a look of horror.

"No, don't come over, what kind of monster are you! Please let me go, okay?"

The young woman screamed miserably and wanted to retreat, climbing up with her hands and feet, but she felt a strong suction coming out, which made her stay in place and unable to move forward at all.

The old monk laughed strangely, slowly raised his feet, and walked towards the young woman, saying a word with every step.

"In this life, a simple life is a blessing."

"Everyone wants to live a good life, but for a good life, they sell their bodies and even betray their husbands."

"I really like direct people like you. Since you want benefits, I will give you benefits."

"Give me all the rich essence in your body."

At this point, the old monk has walked in front of the young woman, and the mouth on his chest slowly opened. The tongue with a hole, like a straw, shot towards the young woman's head.

Looking at the slowly approaching tongue, the young woman showed despair on her face and closed her eyes in fear.

"She is really a disgusting woman."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, followed by a sharp sound that cut through the air.

Countless copper coins fell from the sky and flew towards the old monk.

The next moment, the old monk seemed to sense the danger and quickly retreated, letting the copper coins fall.

The copper coins that fell did not stop there, but turned a corner in the air and attacked the old monk again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Bai jumped down from the wall, holding the ghost-head knife, and raised his hand to release more than a dozen strong winds.

"Xu Bai!"

In shock and anger, the old monk couldn't help but call out Xu Bai's name, and then closed his mouth, obviously knowing that he had spoken out of turn.

The old monk dodged the strong wind in front of him, and the old monk seemed to have performed a special footwork.

"If you can call out my name, then there is nothing to say."

Xu Bai took a step forward, and countless copper coins flew up again, circling around, and each copper coin brought a fierce strong wind.

The old monk continued to stagger his steps, and the copper coins flew around his body. He dodged the strong wind again and again, and seemed to be at ease.

"You killed Xiao Cui. I wanted to wait for a while, and wait until I reached a higher level to find you. I didn't expect you to come to my door. I wanted to let you live a little longer." After the old monk dodged a few copper coins again, his tone contained murderous intent.

He waved his hand, and the huge tree in the courtyard suddenly shook. In Xu Bai's sight, more than a dozen mummies fell off the tree.

"No wonder I saw something in the tree. It turned out that there were corpses."

These mummies were naked. From the shape of the corpses, it can be seen that they were all female corpses. Combined with what the old monk did before, Xu Bai already understood the source of the mummies.

When the female corpses fell to the ground, they stood up one after another.

Then, on these female corpses, large bulges suddenly appeared, and they were still flowing and gathering, pouring into the top of the female corpses' heads.

The top of the female corpses' heads became abnormally large, and when the large bulges were bulging inside, it looked very creepy.

"Explode!"

The old monk dodged Xu Bai's knife and pointed at the female corpses in mid-air.

More than a dozen female corpses' heads exploded in an instant, and colorful things were scattered all over the ground.

Fist-sized insects flapped their wings, flew to the old monk's chest, and drilled into the old monk's mouth.

"You know more than just the art of collecting and replenishing." Xu Bai frowned.

He didn't seem to have any adverse reactions to this extremely bloody scene, he just didn't want to watch it.

Not feeling sick when watching disgusting things doesn't mean you like watching them.

This old monk is very powerful, especially the footwork just now, after using it, he was able to dodge his attack.

And the most important thing is that looking at the old monk's action, it seems that it is more than just the art of collecting and replenishing.

"Boy, you are dying and still talking so much." The old monk's tone gradually became arrogant: "I came here specifically to restrain you."

After saying that, the last bug drilled into his mouth on his chest, and the mouth slowly closed.

The next moment, two huge bulges suddenly appeared on the old monk's back, and then two black arms stretched out from it.

Not only that, the old monk's figure suddenly rose, and in the blink of an eye it had become three meters high.

Words came out of the old monk's mouth, which seemed particularly gloomy in the dark night.

"Your attack methods are extremely powerful. Anyone who is hit by your attack will be seriously injured, but my footwork can avoid it."

"Your defense is also very high. That layer of black light seems to be able to block many attacks."

"And your body movements, those miscellaneous abilities, such as diverting the opponent's attack, are all your important means."

"But you have a very fatal weakness, which happened to be discovered by me."

At this point, the old monk stopped.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said with interest: "Fatal weakness, tell me, what fatal weakness do I have?"

The old monk smiled coldly and did not answer, but raised the extra black arms.

The black arms changed, and mouths full of sharp teeth grew from the palm to the shoulder.

The next moment, each mouth moved slowly.

They seemed to be reciting something, but no sound came out.

Xu Bai was stunned.

He could feel that as these mouths moved, something seemed to have appeared in his mind.

The next moment, his head began to become drowsy, as if a voice was talking to him.

"Go to sleep, don't struggle anymore."

"This world is not worth your hard work, take more rest."

"It's no big deal as long as you get some sleep."

The drowsy feeling became stronger and stronger.

And this drowsy voice came through his ears.

The ear was in unbearable pain, it was injured, and the sound was caused by the injury.

"Let my ears be injured, and then the sound took the opportunity to enter?"

The next moment, Xu Bai put down the knife in his hand, just stood there, lowered his head, as if he had lost consciousness.

"Hahaha! Your layer of black light can't block the transmission of sound, but my Miao family's Qianyin Gu can mess up your mind."

The old monk walked to Xu Bai step by step, raised his right hand, and there were sharp teeth on that hand.

He looked at Xu Bai, who had no resistance, and chopped down with his right hand fiercely.

If this palm hit, Xu Bai, who was not blocked by the black light, would be beheaded in the next moment.

The arrogance in the old monk's eyes became more and more intense, as if he had already seen the scene of himself holding up Xu Bai's head and asking for credit.

But just as the hand was about to fall, a flash of knife light suddenly appeared.

The old monk was slightly stunned, and then he found that his right hand had left his body, and a strong pain came over him.

"Ah!!!"

A tragic cry came out of the old monk's mouth, and blood was splashed everywhere.

The old monk had already understood that the other party had not been caught by him.

Or rather, he had been caught by him, but he had cracked it.

"Run!"

No matter what, leave here first. His body movement is indeed very fast, but he can't hide at this distance!

But thinking so, will Xu Bai give him a chance?

Of course not!

The bright knife light rose again, and two blood lines suddenly appeared on the old monk's legs, and then separated from him.

"Ah!"

The scream rang again.

The old monk no longer had the arrogance at the beginning, and his face was full of fear. In addition to fear, there was also a hint of confusion.

"Why!"

"I have already calculated your weakness, you can't avoid it!"

"Is the information wrong? Impossible, the master will never give me false information!"

He really doubted why it was the opponent's weakness, but it became his burial place.

"Oh, you are talking about this." Xu Bai pointed to his ears and smiled: "Your Thousand Sound Gu, it seems that only by hurting my ears can I have such negative thoughts, but... I recover very quickly."

Immortal Body (Remnant) - Fifth Level.

The true energy does not dissipate, and the body is indestructible.

To be honest, the opponent's damage is not as fast as his recovery, but his true energy consumption is a bit too much.

"Recover..." The old monk was at a loss.

The Thousand Sound Gu did damage the opponent's ears first, and then affected the consciousness through the ears, but he didn't expect that it could be cracked in this way.

"I'll give you a chance now. You just mentioned the Miao family, right?" Xu Bai said calmly, "Is that the master behind you?"

The old monk shuddered, looked at the man holding the ghost-head knife in front of him, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to say something.

But the next moment, Xu Bai felt a sound coming from behind.

The part where Xu Bai went to Beijing was a huge growth for him. It was difficult to write, and my head was going to be confused.
