Chapter 155 Human Mathematics (8000)

Seeing the last progress bar in front of him complete, Xu Bai rubbed his hands excitedly.

He had always wanted this second-grade fortune-telling book. When Kong Xu used it before, he could also predict good and bad luck. This thing is simply a must-have for traveling around the world.

As the light blue smoke appeared, in front of Xu Bai, the smoke slowly gathered and turned into a line of text.

[You observe the arithmetic scripture and understand the human algorithm. ]

After the light blue text appeared, it quickly disappeared into thin air, and then turned into a message and drilled into Xu Bai's mind.

There was no fusion, and there were no other signs.

In Xu Bai's eyes, the latest panel appeared.

…

Sure enough, this fortune-telling book is indeed of the second grade. Kong Xu did not lie and really offered such a high price to exchange with him.

Xu Bai closed his eyes and carefully recalled the information in his mind. It took him a few breaths to absorb all the information before he opened his eyes again.

He has mastered all the skills and has now reached a level of mastery of the human calculation, and has also gained a detailed understanding of the profession of fortune-teller.

There are many branches of fortune tellers in this big industry, and the branches are evaluated according to their abilities.

There is a traditional school, which uses "day stem as me" to check the five elements of the eight characters, and the punishment, conflict and combination are the top priority.

There is a blind school that does not talk about prosperity and decline, and does not talk about the useful gods. Fortune telling is simple, fast and accurate, and never passed on to non-blind people, so it seems very mysterious.

There is a new school that uses the method of fortune-telling with the useful gods as the main line, and supports and suppresses, adjusts the climate, and passes the customs, which brings the balance of prosperity and decline to the extreme.

There is a Na Yin school that uses the five elements of Na Yin combined with the stem and branch growth and restraint, and the stem and branch image method to infer good and bad luck.

There is a pattern school that uses the month order as the useful god, determines the pattern, and discusses success or failure.

There is a prosperity and decline school that balances restraint, release, and consumption.

There is a god and evil school that supplements the theory of gods and evil spirits in addition to the five elements of growth and restraint.

There are so many of them, and they are extremely complicated. Each faction has derived many small branches. In short, this is an extremely complicated business.

This fortune-telling book belongs to the traditional school, and it is not complete.

In fact, many fortune-telling books are incomplete. After all, they are too complicated, and most of them focus on those types.

The main purpose of fortune-telling is to predict good and bad luck and track traces.

When Kong Xu was robbed and killed before, he used tracking traces.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said to himself: "The Tong family can just be used as my test subjects to test the latest skills."

Now this fortune-telling book can meet his daily needs, but Xu Bai did not relax, but prepared to take out the heavy sword method given by the head of the Jiang family.

Although this heavy sword method is not very suitable for him, it is also a book similar to the second grade. Finishing it early can greatly help his strength. After all, this is an attack method.

As for the remaining fifteen books of the nameless sword, they can only be wronged for the time being and put them aside for later.

"It's not that I'm tired of the old and love the new, it's really that this book is too good." Xu Bai thought to himself.

Just as he was about to ask Ye Zi to take out the book, someone knocked on the door unexpectedly.

"Who?" Xu Bai raised his hand and asked Ye Zi not to take it out for the time being.

A voice sounded outside the door, with a respectful taste.

"I am from the Jiang family. The head of the family specially asked me to come and tell Lord Xu that he has found a clue and is now sending people to the Tong family. Let Lord Xu go quickly, otherwise he may miss the opportunity."

Found a clue?

This surprise is really one wave after another. First, he reached the progress bar, and now he has another wave of clues. Isn't this a pillow for a sleepy person?

Thinking of this, Xu Bai asked the person outside the door to go first after asking the location of the Tong family. He asked the fourth-grade puppet to take the bag with him, and then went out with Ye Zi.

At this time, the sky had darkened, the number of pedestrians outside was decreasing, and the fragrance of rice was everywhere.

The people of Da Chu State eat dinner very early. After all, except for some special professions, people here don't have to work 996, so they have nothing to do and eat earlier.

It is also convenient to have fewer people, so Xu Bai doesn't have to be restricted when doing things.

According to the address provided by the man outside the door, Xu Bai quickly found the destination.

Not far ahead was a luxurious house. At this moment, a large group of people were gathered outside the house.

Before Xu Bai could slowly approach, several burly men appeared in the darkness and quietly asked Xu Bai to stop.

"Sir Xu, we are spies of the Jiang family. We have been investigating here under the order of the head of the family. Today, we finally found their abnormality." The burly man spoke respectfully.

Xu Bai grinned.

Just looking at the size, he must be a member of the Jiang family. After all, only those who play heavy swords can play with this size. If the size is not big, the heavy sword cannot be played well.

"Tell me what are the abnormalities?"

"Yes!" The sturdy man clasped his fists and said, "We didn't find anything else, but just yesterday, the people of the Tong family were hurriedly packing up, as if they were going to escape, and we remembered the instructions of the head of the family, so we guessed that the other party might know something and planned to escape."

Escape?

Xu Bai thought secretly.

This was a bit beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that the so-called Tong family had such a low tolerance.

In fact, he didn't consider that anyone else would have a high tolerance when facing the Blood Slaughter Knife Guest. After all, in people's eyes, this is a person who would be kicked by a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

"Do you need us to do this?" The sturdy man stretched out his hand and gestured on his neck, meaning that they should all be silenced.

Now is the time to please. He has heard that Xu Bai is ruthless for a long time, and he happened to take this task, so he had to do everything he could to make himself look more ruthless.

Unexpectedly, Xu Bai refused directly next.

"No need, you all go back, I can do it alone." Xu Bai said.

The strong man was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Bai to play by his own rules, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only bow and leave.

After these people left, Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of people gathering not far away.

Ye Zi asked beside him: "Young Master, are you planning to follow them?"

Xu Bai nodded and said: "Yes, since the other party wants to escape, there must be a destination. We just need to follow them."

Ye Zi pursed his lips, stopped talking, and stood quietly aside.

More and more people gathered in front of the mansion. When there were more than ten people, a middle-aged man wearing silk and satin came out from inside.

"Meet the head of the family!"

When the head of the Tong family came out, the people around him greeted him in unison. Although the voice was very small, it could be heard clearly when gathered together.

"Shut up, we are not doing anything aboveboard." Patriarch Tong said sternly, "Have you packed up your things? If you have, leave."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, not daring to say more.

Patriarch Tong saw that everyone had packed up, waved his sleeves, walked in front, and the others followed behind him. Taking advantage of the darkness, they slowly disappeared at the end.

Xu Bai and Ye Zi looked at each other, followed quietly with the fourth-grade puppet.

It must be said that the soul-related skills are really good. When tracking, they can also avoid being exposed as much as possible. This is like a person who can detect, he must also be able to counter-detect.

The two of them followed from a distance, followed behind, and went out of Fenghuazhou until they stopped in a wilderness.

In front, Patriarch Tong stopped, turned around, and looked at the group of men behind him.

Among these men, there is also his son.

Not all members of the Tong family wanted to assassinate Xu Bai. Only these people knew the inside story, and they were all high-ranking members of the Tong family.

After all, the head of the Tong family also knew that it was safer for a small number of people to know these things, and even if the majority of people knew them, it would not have much effect.

"Dad, why don't you hurry up and leave?" Young Master Tong was puzzled, and he didn't understand what his father wanted to do.

The other high-ranking members of the Tong family had the same expression. They were going to travel through mountains and rivers tonight, but they didn't expect to stop halfway.

"Well, this place is beautiful, and it can be regarded as a good burial place for you." The head of the Tong family said calmly.

When this sentence came out, everyone present was stunned, but soon, they all reacted, with expressions of horror on their faces.

No one wasted words, and these people all turned around and prepared to leave here.

But the next moment, before they took two steps, they all covered their chests and fell to the ground.

These people, including the son of the head of the Tong family, had died.

"I got the poison with so much difficulty, but I didn't expect it to be used by my own people. Sigh, you can't blame your father, kid." The head of the Tong family sighed and said, "I have had contact with the governor of Fengling Mansion and know their plan. Xu Bai disappeared and must have gone to Yaogui City. He can even escape from Yaogui City alive. We are definitely not his opponent."

"He can escape from Yaogui City. Such a person is definitely not an ordinary person. His background is unimaginable."

"What's more, the leader doesn't want us to live. He wants us all to be buried with him. For a leader like this, why would I be willing to work for him?"

"I've thought about it. If I run with you, the target will be too big. If I run alone, the target will be smaller."

"Dad is sorry for you, but as long as Dad is alive, he can continue to carry on the Tong family's lineage."

While speaking, although the head of the Tong family spoke very miserably, his face was indifferent.

He took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and sprinkled it on the corpses in front of him. After a while, these corpses and clothes turned into blood and melted into the land under his feet.

After doing all this, the head of the Tong family collected the potion and prepared to leave.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Do it, leave a live person."

Originally, he planned to follow behind and wanted to see where the other party's lair was, but he never expected that the head of the Tong family actually wanted to slip away.

In this case, there is no need to follow him anymore. It is better to take a live person and ask about the follow-up situation.

Ye Zi stretched out her hand, and the white light was brushed by her, and a melodious music came out.

In the music, Xu Bai's body became lighter, and the speed of the true energy in his body was greatly enhanced.

The next moment, Xu Bai pulled out the black knife from his waist, and countless fragments exploded in his hand, turning into a force that could overturn the sky, and rolled towards the head of the Tong family.

Originally, the head of the Tong family was planning to leave, but after hearing the whistling sound behind him, he hurriedly turned his head and his pupils shrank suddenly.

It must be said that the families in Fenghuazhou are much larger than those in the mansion, and these family heads have crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Seeing this scene, although he was panicked in his heart, he hurriedly swung his right hand between life and death.

A copper coin flew out of the hand of the head of the Tong family, and suddenly became larger. In a blink of an eye, it had become the size of a millstone.

The fragments hit the copper coin, and deep pits appeared on the copper coin one after another. It could only stop a little bit, and it was instantly pierced in an instant.

After being pierced, the copper coin turned into debris all over the sky. The next moment, there was nothing behind the copper coin.

"Where is the person?" Xu Bai frowned and said, "Did he run away?"

"Sir, he is on the road of living death." Ye Zi walked to Xu Bai and said, "This is the characteristic of the Yin escort master's business. Specifically, it is like this..."

In the dark wilderness, Ye Zi said the various characteristics of this business one by one.

In the big business of escort masters, there is a branch, which is the Yin escort.

Xu Bai's Fulong Escort Agency does not count. Those escort masters did not even enter the rank, and they were not even considered a big business.

The so-called Yin escort is to transport things that ordinary people do not use. These things are strange and weird, with many categories, and they are bordering on weirdness.

Since they are transporting things that ordinary people do not use, then they are naturally not walking the path of ordinary people.

The living have a way to live, the dead walk the way of death, and the Yin escort walks the way of living death.

This living death path is between life and death. Ordinary people can't see it, and those who are not in this business can't see it either. Once you step into it, you will disappear.

What's more, the living can't see it, and the dead can't see it either.

But the living death path is also dangerous.

If you wander between life and death for a long time, you will completely lose consciousness and become a living dead. So every time you walk a distance, you will rest for a while, and it is impossible to walk in it for a long time.

"Damn it, I didn't expect this guy to escape so decisively. I thought he was going to have a good fight with me." Xu Bai touched his chin and said.

"Sir, he must not be able to walk in the living death path for a long time, but we don't know which direction he escaped. If we know, we can follow him from a distance until he comes out." Ye Zi said a plan.

Xu Bai's eyes lit up.

Yes, since the other party can't walk for a long time, then he can just follow him from a distance. As long as he comes out, he can be caught directly.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai put the black knife back to his waist, and then he made a move.

Xu Bai raised his right hand, and pointed his index finger in the air. Then, a faint golden light emerged from his index finger, and a golden compass appeared in the air.

Human Calculation Sutra.

This skill is in the hands of Kong Xu, who has only cultivated to the fifth level, so he needs to use tools, but Xu Bai is now at the second level and does not need to use those tools at all.

When the compass composed of golden light appeared, the pointer began to rotate rapidly, and in less than a moment, it stopped at one position.

"Found it." Xu Bai smiled.

Behind him, the fourth-level puppet moved and led the way in front.

Xu Bai and Ye Zi followed behind and chased in one direction.

...

There was no one along the way, not even a trace, but Xu Bai and his companions walked in this direction for about three incense sticks of time, and finally something abnormal happened.

Not far ahead, the air twisted, and the head of the Tong family appeared inexplicably at the same place, wiping the sweat from his head.

"Finally escaped."

People outside the living dead can't see the living dead, and people in the living dead can't see the outside world, so he didn't know that Xu Bai had been chasing him.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a chill in his heart, as if some kind of danger had already set its sights on him.

The face of the head of the Tong family became stiff, and he turned his head silently. He saw the person he least wanted to meet.

Not far away, Xu Bai was chasing leisurely with a black knife.

"Run, keep running, and if you have the guts, continue to enter your living death path."

There was a teasing tone in his voice, and besides that, there was a terrifying murderous aura.

The head of the Tong family was completely stunned, with dense cold sweat on his forehead, and then his shoulders trembled slightly, obviously extremely scared.

"Not only can you get out of the Monster City, you can even track people who escape into the living death path!"

The fear in his words could be heard even by a dog.

"Oh, it seems that you know about my previous affairs, tut tut tut, don't you think you know a little too much?" Xu Bai said slowly.

The head of the Tong family seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Master Xu, I never want to go against you. I am also trying to escape this time, so I have not done anything wrong to you. Please spare my life, I am willing to surrender."

Xu Bai stopped and smiled: "Very good, I like people like you who are more sensible. Now tell me everything you know. Where is your nest? And what is the leader?"

The head of the Tong family hurriedly said: "I am the only one in Fenghuazhou, and I am considered an insider. The leader is very cunning and never tells me the location."

"Only when the leader needs it will he send someone to contact me, otherwise I can only stay here."

"As for what the leader is, I know!"

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said: "Then tell me, including the location where he asked you to leave a message, and tell me too."

The head of the Tong family did not speak, just looked at Xu Bai, as if he was struggling with something.

Xu Bai knew what the other party was thinking, and said slowly: "Have you removed your pain sensation? Or is your soul very strong?"

The head of the Tong family was stunned, and subconsciously said: "No."

Xu Bai's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Since you don't have any, I can torture you or interrogate your soul. What qualifications do you have to negotiate conditions?"

The other party hesitated just now, just because he was afraid of being killed after speaking out, so he wanted to talk, but was he qualified to talk?

Hearing this, the head of the Tong family turned pale in an instant, and sat on the ground. He knew that he had to say it today, whether he wanted to or not.

"Can you really let me go?"

"Of course, since you want to assassinate me, you must know that I am the most honest person in business. Aren't we negotiating a business now?" Xu Bai said with a smile.

The head of the Tong family's eyes were gray, and he finally said it.

"The leader's profession is a gravedigger. No one knew about it, but there happened to be a book about it in my family."

"I found out after I went back and read it. The book also mentioned that there is a huge tomb in Fenghuazhou. It is unknown who is inside."

"But since the leader is a gravedigger, he must be related to this tomb."

"The book also mentioned that a large number of burial objects are needed to open the tomb. He gathered us together and did not let us act alone. I suspect he wanted us to be burial objects."

"If you want to deal with the leader, a large tomb will definitely appear recently. The appearance of the large tomb will definitely cause changes, and you will be able to find the location based on this."

At this point, the head of the Tong family closed his mouth.

Obviously, what should be said has been said.

Xu Bai touched his chin.

Gravedigger.

Another new profession.

"Sir, gravediggers are also not tolerated by people." Ye Zi said.

Needless to say, Xu Bai could guess that it was definitely not tolerated by people.

Who doesn't have a grave? They were all dug up by this group of people. Who can bear it?

"Master Xu, I have already told you, can you leave now? Master Xu, don't worry, I will never deal with you again." The head of the Tong family said timidly.

Xu Bai nodded, suddenly stretched out his index finger and flicked the black knife.

A rhythm sounded.

With a deliberate intention, the eyes of the head of the Tong family immediately became dull and were controlled in an instant.

"Is what you said just now true? Is there anything else you haven't told me?" Xu Bai asked.

The head of the Tong family shook his head dully.

The next moment, Xu Bai swung the black knife in his hand, and the fragments suddenly rose up, piercing the head of the Tong family in front of him.

He does talk about integrity in business, but only with people, not with a dog.

"Sir, what are you going to do next?" Ye Zi asked.

"Let's go back first." Xu Bai searched the body in front of him, but didn't find anything useful. He had already used up all the things he had used to destroy the body.

I got a lot of information today, so I'll go back and digest it first, and then think about what to do next.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai didn't stop and rushed to the inn with Ye Zi.

Taking advantage of the darkness, they returned to the inn in no time.

Ye Zi closed the door with his backhand, and seeing Xu Bai already sitting down, he poured a cup of tea for Xu Bai and handed it to him.

Xu Bai said: "For now, let's wait and see. If it is really as he said, the other party will definitely not cause any more trouble. There will be changes when the tomb is opened. When the tomb is opened, we will rush over to see the situation."

"If that's the case, we need to find someone who is proficient in digging graves." Ye Zi said: "Feng Shui masters and gravediggers are similar. We can ask the Jiang family if there are any Feng Shui masters in Fenghuazhou?"

Since it is related to the tomb, Feng Shui masters are definitely needed.

The Jiang family has been rooted here for many years, and they must have a wide network of contacts. It is reasonable to ask them to help.

"Tomorrow, we will go to the Jiang family again." Xu Bai said.

He took out the heavy sword method and continued to work on the progress bar. Now things have become complicated, and it is most important to seize the time to improve himself.

…

Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, the dark night passed and the next day's scorching sun came.

The streets were crowded with people, and the vendors on both sides began to hawk their wares.

As soon as Xu Bai and Ye Zi arrived at the Jiang family, they were taken to the reception room by the servants.

"Hahaha, Lord Xu is visiting again, there must be something important, why are you still here? Why don't you show Lord Xu tea?" The head of the Jiang family laughed.

His voice was still as heroic as ever. If you saw it for the first time, you would think he was an upright person.

The servants quickly served the best tea, and Xu Bai took it in his hand, looked at the steaming tea in the teacup, and took a sip.

"Lord Xu, if you have something to say, just speak up. Don't worry, I still say the same old thing. As long as I can help, I will never hesitate." The head of the Jiang family was righteous and kept patting his chest to assure.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, put down the tea in his hand, and said: "Let's not talk about anything else. I really came here this time to ask Master Jiang for help. I wonder if there is anyone in Fenghuazhou who is a Feng Shui master?"

Master Jiang was about to agree generously, but he didn't expect that he was asking about Feng Shui masters. He was stunned on the spot. After a while, he smiled bitterly.

"Master Xu... Are you talking about Feng Shui masters?"

"Yes, is there no Feng Shui master in Fenghuazhou?" Xu Bai frowned.

It is impossible that there is no Feng Shui master in such a big state. He felt something was wrong.

"Alas..." Master Jiang sighed and said: "If it is other things, Jiang can definitely do it for Master Xu, but this matter is indeed a bit difficult!"

"Oh?" Xu Bai asked: "What is the difficulty? Master Jiang can just tell me directly. I am not a person who makes trouble. Let's understand each other."

From the other party's expression just now, it can be seen that there is definitely something wrong.

The head of the Jiang family sighed and said, "Sir Xu, there is only one Feng Shui master in Fenghuazhou, and that is the Qian family in the west of the city. But it is probably very difficult to ask the Qian family for help."

"When the Great Chu State was established, the Qian family also did their best. At that time, the construction of the capital of the Great Chu State was also the collective effort of various Feng Shui masters."

"The Qian family forcibly changed the Feng Shui, defied fate, and turned bad things into good, so their own Feng Shui was backlashed and they have never recovered since then."

"Your Majesty is grateful for their loyalty and let them stay in Fenghuazhou. No one dares to touch them."

"They didn't use Feng Shui again, because if they used it again, the whole family might die on the street."

Feng Shui has always been a mysterious thing. Hearing what the head of the Jiang family said, Xu Bai felt that this matter was indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

This Qian family can be regarded as a real thigh. In Fenghuazhou, no one dares to touch it.

More importantly, they no longer use Feng Shui. After all, they suffered backlash before. If they use it again, the whole family will die violently on the street. This kind of death is particularly mysterious, and it is entirely due to Feng Shui.

To describe it in one sentence, the other party is not unwilling to help, but unable to help.

"Thank you, Master Jiang. I still want to take a look." Xu Bai arched his hands and prepared to take Ye Zi away.

"Slow down, if you have anything else, you can come to me at any time." Master Jiang sent Xu Bai to the door along the way and told Xu Bai the location of the Qian family.

Xu Bai didn't say much. According to the location that Master Jiang just said, he took Ye Zi around the streets and finally came to a mansion.

This mansion is completely different from other mansions. There is a plaque hanging on it, and the plaque is even inlaid with gold edges.

Not only that, the words on the plaque are flying and dancing. In addition to the two words Qian Family, there is a line of small words below, which reads "The plaque bestowed by His Majesty".

There were two servants guarding the door. When they saw Xu Bai walk in, they frowned.

"Who are you?"

"Please inform them that Xu Bai wants to see the head of the Qian family." Xu Bai said.

With Xu Bai's current fame, even the servants knew his name. They were obviously surprised when they heard it. Finally, they reacted and said, "Wait here," and hurried to the yard.

After a while, the servant ran out again and said, "The master invites you, Lord Xu, please come in."

Xu Bai nodded, and under the guidance of the servant, he went around one road after another and finally came to the reception room.

Good tea had been served in the room. Xu Bai sat on a chair, took a sip, and waited patiently.

After a while, a middle-aged man walked in with a dignified manner.

The middle-aged man looked ordinary and was wearing silk and satin.

Although his walking posture was dignified, there was a black air swirling between his eyebrows.

Changing fate against the will of heaven, and being backlashed, this is the subsequent suffering, even extending to a family.

So they dare not use the power of Feng Shui again. The more they use it, the deeper this suffering will be.

Because of this, the emperor gave such a generous reward after paying such a heavy price.

In Fenghuazhou, even the governor dared not shout in front of the Qian family. This is a privilege.

"Sir Xu, what is the important matter for your visit?" The head of the Qian family bowed to Xu Bai and asked very politely.

In fact, the Qian family is also very smart. They did not use the emperor to dominate here, but were unusually low-key.

Before speaking, the black air between the eyebrows of the head of the Qian family moved a few more times, and it became more and more dense.

Xu Bai turned the teacup slightly with his fingers, and after thinking for a while, he said: "In this case, I will not play those empty tricks anymore. I said directly that I came here this time to borrow the Feng Shui master."

As soon as the voice fell, the head of the Qian family was stunned. After reacting, he stood up from the chair and clenched his hands tightly.

"If it is this matter, Sir Xu, please go back!"
