Chapter 201 The Madman Comes to the Mountain (8000)

Xu Bai stared at the shadow of the man in white clothes and a tall hat. The madness there was clearly transmitted, affecting the will of others.

Xu Bai didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the man in white clothes and a tall hat walked away.

He hasn't become a mind god yet, but he has been madly testing the edge. This man in white clothes and a tall hat will probably go completely crazy in a short time.

Fortunately, the man in white clothes and a tall hat left, and this fight didn't happen. Xu Bai stood there, thinking for a long time, and decided to continue walking up.

"This ghost place is too weird, even weirder than the ghost city."

He thought as he walked.

The ghost city is an extremely gloomy horror. All the weirdness there does not allow existence different from them. When they see it, they will definitely kill it.

But it's different here. In addition to the gloomy and weird, there is also creepy madness.

Maybe in the last second, you are still talking happily, and in the next second you will become a mind god who has lost his mind, which is hard to guard against.

Xu Bai expanded his soul and walked very fast. Under the cover of his soul, he could see everything around him clearly.

After walking for about half an hour, he saw a small house on the mountain road ahead.

However, there was no abnormality in his perception. There was no one in these houses, let alone a living thing.

It was empty inside, as if it had been abandoned.

The soul cannot deceive people. If there is no one, there is no one. Xu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and came to the door.

He found that the door was not locked and the door was open. He could see the small courtyard illuminated by the moonlight very clearly.

A cool breeze blew, and the tree in the corner of the small courtyard swayed slightly, making a rustling sound.

Even the poorest families would have a small courtyard. Whether it was here or in the Great Chu State, it was the same, just the size of the courtyard and whether it was dilapidated or not.

"Even if they were the poorest, a courtyard in the previous life was worth every inch of land and gold, and it was not something they could ask for." Xu Bai thought abruptly and walked in.

Since there was no one, he went in to search.

After walking, his soul scanned the room without blind spots, and finally found unwashed dishes in a room.

With his soul alone, he could not find the progress bar. Xu Bai turned around and closed the door, and searched carefully in each room, but there was no progress bar after searching for a long time.

He stood there, thought for a while, and finally walked out of the yard, found a more secret place, took out the Summoning God Heart Method in his arms, and looked at it carefully.

Since someone had lived here, he must have gone out. He planned to wait for a day to see if anyone came back.

Although the concept of time here is very weak, he can rely on the progress bar in his hand as a reference.

In fact, Xu Bai could also leave directly, but he thought it might be better to wait here.

The most important thing is to be able to take some free time to practice the Summoning God Heart Method. If he can finish it before encountering danger, he will have an extra means.

As for the progress bar he got from the croaker before, he put it aside for the time being.

He took a rough look at the progress bar. It was not an ordinary thing. The speed was very slow, so he chose the method of summoning gods first. After all, he had already worked on a part of it.

The moonlight gradually fell. Xu Bai leaned against a tree and worked on the progress bar carefully. While working on it, his soul was also expanding to prevent accidents.

Time passed slowly. After working on the progress bar again, Xu Bai put down the book in his hand and looked at the dilapidated yard.

There was still no one. No one came, and he didn't know where the owner of the yard had gone.

Without any discovery, he didn't stay any longer and walked towards the mountain.

Since there was no discovery, he continued to walk up to see if there was anything new.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Xu Bai continued to walk.

Gradually, his footprints spread all over the mountain.

During this period, he encountered many rooms and houses, but without exception, there was no one in every house.

Every time he arrived at a house, he stayed for a while, but no one returned to the house.

Although he didn't know what happened, he always felt that something was getting weirder.

This feeling made him feel creepy. He always had a different idea. Could it be that a huge terrifying existence was brewing?

Fortunately, although he didn't find anyone in every house during this period of time, he stayed and worked on the progress bar for a while. Now he estimated that it had been more than ten days, and the Summoning God Heart Method in his hand was completely worked on.

This heart method probably didn't reach the extraordinary realm. Since he only worked on it for a period of time every night, it took so long, but it was enough to get a heart method.

For now, what he lacked most was the true energy. Otherwise, just running the Immortal Demon Soul Buddha Body and the Three Swords and Swords would be a bit too much for him.

Looking at the light blue smoke in front of him, Xu Bai stopped, his soul spread all around, waiting patiently.

Light blue smoke curled up and gradually gathered into a new line of words in the air.

[You observe the mind method of inviting gods and comprehend the mind method of inviting gods. ]

With just this line of words, Xu Bai estimated that it would merge with his original Wanxiang Tianyin Jue, and was waiting patiently, but he didn't expect that the next second, something unusual would happen.

The smoke at the bottom of this line of light blue words suddenly separated and formed a new line of light blue words.

This situation happened to him once before, when he comprehended the Nameless Sword Sutra, that is, not only the mind method, but also the skills.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Bai thought of this, the new words gradually became clear and jumped into his eyes.

[You observe the mind method of inviting gods and comprehend the mountain school's method of inviting gods. ]

"I really comprehended a skill." Xu Bai thought speechlessly.

Originally, he didn't want to comprehend this skill, he only needed the mind method.

To be honest, he still remembers the taboos about inviting gods that King Shengyou talked to him about.

This profession has been extinct, and no one knows how it became extinct. Moreover, what kind of gods they invited, even their profession cannot explain clearly until now.

It is such a weird thing that ordinary people dare not touch it. Xu Bai also relies on the progress bar.

Now that he has the skills and the mental method, he is also a little worried.

"Forget it, the boat will naturally straighten out when it reaches the bridge. Let's see first. At worst, I won't use this skill."

Thinking so, the light blue smoke in front of him quickly dissipated and gathered into a new line of smoke.

Fusion appeared.

[Found a fusion option, fusion in progress. ]

[Tianyin Jue + Qianshen Mental Method = Tianyin Jue. ]

[Fusion successful! ]

This time, the light blue smoke finally disappeared completely, turning into a stream of information, drilling into Xu Bai's mind.

Xu Bai closed his eyes and chewed carefully.

When he opened his eyes again, he had mastered it all.

In front of him, the latest attribute panel appeared.

[Name: Xu Bai. 】

【Comprehension: Full Level. 】

…

These two skills now have a decisive effect on him. First of all, his mental method has been directly upgraded by three levels, reaching the level of Transcendent Level 6. His true energy has greatly improved compared to before.

This huge improvement can be simply described in two words.

— Endurance!

He has become longer, and he can persist for longer in a protracted battle in the future.

Although he cannot reach the point of using the Immortal Demon Soul Buddha Body and the Three Absolute Swords without restraint, it is at least much better than before.

The second is the highlight, the Mountain Sect Invitational Divine Method, which seems to be different from other skills for him.

The information is circling in his mind, and Xu Bai is sorting it out carefully. After a while, he finally sorted it out clearly.

"It's not an invitation to possess the body." Xu Bai muttered in his heart.

According to the description of the Mountain Sect Invitational Divine Method, the classification of the business of inviting gods is extremely wide.

But generally speaking, there are two major categories.

One type is to invite gods to possess one's body to improve one's combat effectiveness, while the second type is to invite gods to one's side to serve as a helper.

The skill he is learning now is the second type.

"It doesn't seem like inviting gods, but more like summoning, but who can I invite?" Xu Bai thought.

There is nothing wrong with his analogy. It is indeed more like a summoning, but it is not clear who can be summoned.

More importantly, even if he has mastered this skill thoroughly, he still doesn't know what gods are.

There is not even a description above, just saying that gods are gods, and they can be invited and sent away.

"What a weird business, I don't know why it became extinct. This is the first time I have seen such a vague explanation of this skill." Xu Bai shook his head and temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​using this skill.

Things like this should be used only at critical moments, and don't even think about them at other times.

Who knows what will come? If something extremely dangerous comes, it will be me who will be in danger.

Having exhausted all the skills and a book, Xu Bai did not continue because when he looked up, he found that he should be not far from the top of the mountain.

"I have encountered empty houses all along the way, and there are traces of people living there, but no one has ever come back, and I don't know where these guys have gone."

Xu Bai thought that maybe when he reaches the top of the mountain, everything will be discovered naturally.

Thinking of this, he did not stay any longer and walked towards the top of the mountain.

He was not far from the top of the mountain.

But the higher he went, the steeper the mountain road became.

Sometimes when he encountered some places that could not be passed, if he was an ordinary person, he might sigh and turn back.

Fortunately, Xu Bai was not an ordinary person. Even the steepest mountain road was as smooth as walking on flat ground.

His soul continued to expand, feeling everything around him, and guarding against any accidents.

After Xu Bai walked for nearly half an incense stick of time, he suddenly stopped. His soul sensed something unusual, and it was a familiar abnormality.

On the top of the mountain in the distance, there was nothing there, and the woods were sparse. The originally dense woods had disappeared. The moonlight sprinkled on the dark mountain top, covering it with a layer of white gauze.

In the white gauze, the man in white clothes and a tall hat was kneeling on the ground, and there were more than ten corpses in front of him.

"I met this guy again. Didn't this guy say that he could rest for a long time after finishing that order? Why did he come out to continue collecting corpses?" Xu Bai thought to himself.

Apart from this, his soul didn't sense anything else. Everything was normal.

Xu Bai thought about it and continued to walk forward until he reached the top of the mountain and saw the man in white clothes and a tall hat. He stopped not far away.

The man in white clothes and tall hat also heard the sound, turned his head to look at Xu Bai, and said hoarsely: "You are here..."

This sound was like broken glass rubbing in the throat, which was extremely uncomfortable to the ears. Compared with the previous sound, it was simply one on the ground and one in the sky.

Xu Bai frowned and said: "What happened? Why are there so many corpses here?"

When the man in white clothes and tall hat spoke, he saw that there were tears on his face, and his eyes were filled with extreme sadness.

"All dead, all dead, they agreed to die here together?" The man in white clothes and tall hat sighed.

Xu Bai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his eyes turned to the dozen corpses.

There were no traces of fighting, nor any extra scars. These dozen corpses seemed to have died here suddenly.

"I am so worried that I can't control it?" Xu Bai asked.

He didn't say that he was thinking about the gods, let alone going crazy. He just said this sentence, using words that the man in white clothes and tall hat could understand, and asked it as concisely as possible.

The man in white clothes and tall hat nodded slowly, he stood up, pointed at the corpses, and began to tell the story...

"This woman, before she ran out of energy, she was a genius and a powerful leader. But after she ran out of energy, she actually created a way to reproduce herself and constantly devoured her own children."

"And this one, in order to survive, he blinded himself, cut off his ears, nose and tongue, and chopped off his hands and feet, just to reduce the consumption of resources as much as possible."

"This one is similar, he also used the same method..."

As the man in white clothes and tall hat told the story, he told the identity of each person and their methods of dealing with resource depletion one by one.

When he talked about the last person, the man in white clothes and tall hat turned his head, and the sadness in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Some of them are good people, some are bad people, and some are doing their best to survive."

"Now, they don't want to go crazy. After all, before this, they were all powerful leaders. No one wants to go crazy. This is dignity."

"So they all came to this place and died together before reaching the peak."

Xu Bai said, "Are you here to collect their bodies?"

The man in white clothes and tall hat nodded, "They are all people I know, and I can't let them die without a burial place. No matter whether they were good or bad when they were alive, everything will end when they die."

Xu Bai didn't answer again. He looked at the dozen or so corpses next to him and suddenly said, "How long can you hold on?"

After the words fell, there was silence all around. The wind blew through the woods, making strange sounds, which contrasted with the quiet environment around, creating a strange feeling.

The man in white clothes and tall hat understood what Xu Bai was talking about and said, "It probably won't be long, but before reaching the peak, I have to do something."

"What is it?" Xu Bai asked.

"You forgot what I said before, there is a madman in the woods, on this mountain." The man in white clothes and a tall hat shrugged, as if he didn't care at all: "I have to get rid of him, otherwise leaving a madman behind will be a disaster. This world doesn't need powerful madmen."

Madman?

No.

To be precise, it is a mind god.

Xu Bai's eyes became a little complicated.

Only he knew that the so-called world was just a relic, including the man in white clothes and tall hats, they were not real living people.

But such words were inevitably a kind of invisible cruelty to the man in white clothes and tall hats.

How to say it?

Could it be that you are just a part of the relic?

Forget it.

Since the man in white clothes and tall hats doesn't know all that, just pretend that he doesn't know, at least let others have a good dream before they completely become a mind god.

"Slow down." Xu Bai thought for a long time, and finally said only these two words.

The man in white clothes and tall hats waved his hand, looking nonchalant: "I will reach that extreme sooner or later, kill him, and then I will end my life here. It's a pity that no one will collect my body."

At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his head suddenly, and made a look of sudden enlightenment.

In Xu Bai's eyes, the man in white clothes and a tall hat unbuttoned his coat, revealing the skin on his chest. There was a beautiful pattern on the skin, which was actually composed of words, printed on it, looking beautiful and weird.

In addition, a golden progress bar appeared.

"Brother, can you help me with something?" The man in white clothes and a tall hat scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

Xu Bai's eyes moved away from the golden progress bar and asked, "What is it?"

The man in white clothes and a tall hat raised his right hand, grabbed a corner of the skin, and tore off the skin on his chest with a sizzling sound. Sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was obviously in pain.

But after a while, the skin on his chest automatically repaired, and the pain on his face disappeared.

The human skin with a progress bar and blood was sent over by the man in white clothes and a tall hat.

"Not many people are willing to do this lineage, after all, it's dirty and tiring work."

"Compared to making paper figures, our corpse collectors are becoming increasingly scarce, especially now that resources are exhausted."

"Brother, you haven't reached that extreme yet, can you help me keep this? If I meet someone with a predestined relationship, I can pass it on."

"Of course, if you have reached that extreme before this, then it means I'm unlucky and this lineage should be extinct."

The man in white clothes and tall hat said slowly.

Xu Bai took it over, and after a moment, he said, "I promise you."

The man in white clothes and tall hat waved his hand happily, saying words of gratitude.

He turned around, cremated the dozen or so corpses in front of him, and prepared to leave. In his previous words, he was going to settle accounts with that madman.

"How sure are you?" Xu Bai asked.

The man in white clothes and tall hat had already walked several steps. After hearing Xu Bai's words, his body stiffened and he turned his back to Xu Bai. He did not turn around, but his tone was full of loneliness.

"That madman is very strong. I am not sure, but I will do my best. Even if I risk my life, I will take him away."

"And even if I win, I will not be alive."

"The world has become like this." Xu Bai took two steps forward, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly: "Is it worth it to do this?"

The man in white clothes and tall hat shook his head, still with his back to him, raised his head, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said: "I entered this business to let the dead have a place to go."

"The living have a place to come, and they also have a place to go after death. This is what my teacher often says."

"Our lineage is to do good things and accumulate virtues, but we can't do things that damage our virtues."

"Even if you die, you will be remembered by the younger generation."

As he spoke, the man in white clothes and tall hat raised his foot and prepared to leave.

"What's your name?" Xu Bai asked.

The man in white clothes and tall hat didn't even turn his head, and said as he walked: "Gaoguan."

The night gradually faded, and the figure of the man in white clothes and tall hat gradually disappeared in the dense forest.

Xu Bai kept watching the man in white clothes and tall hat walk away, and then he retracted his gaze.

Somehow, he felt that the back of the man in white clothes and tall hat was not only lonely, but also a kind of relief.

Perhaps in this world with exhausted resources, death is a kind of relief that makes people feel relaxed.

"Corpse collector, it's really a good job." Xu Bai silently said, turned around, and prepared to leave.

There was nothing else to find in this mountain, and he was ready to go down the mountain now.

He was slow when he came, and fast when he left, so he chose to go down the other side of the mountain.

In order to avoid any omissions, he still did not fly, and his soul still enveloped the surroundings to find the missed places.

Unfortunately, there was no discovery along the way. It was not until he was about to reach the foot of the mountain that Xu Bai saw a monument on the other side of the mountain.

There was nothing around, but there was a monument standing there. Xu Bai was slightly curious and walked up slowly.

There was no text on the monument, but there was a painting.

The painting showed a huge mountain. Xu Bai looked at the shape of the mountain, which was very similar to the mountain he was on.

Sansheng Mountain.

It was the name of this mountain.

The mountain drawn on the pattern has an arrow pointing to the location below the mountain.

To be precise, it is not pointing to the bottom of the mountain, but to the bottom of the mountain.

At the end of the arrow, there is a huge treasure chest.

"What does this mean? Is there a treasure under this mountain?" Xu Bai thought to himself.

This painting is very obvious, pointing to the bottom of the mountain, which means there is something under the mountain.

And the treasure chest is very vividly drawn, obviously it is a treasure.

With this discovery, Xu Bai suddenly didn't want to leave. He thought about continuing to check here, maybe there will be other discoveries.

After all, he came here and only got a book, which is not very cost-effective. What if the treasure has a lot of progress bars, wouldn't he be rich?

Go, you must go, anyway, there are no people on this mountain, he is almost safe now, what reason is there not to go and see?

If you leave this mountain to explore outside the mountain, the probability of getting something is very small, after all, it is unknown.

If you go to the bottom of the mountain in this mountain, the probability may be slightly higher, after all, there are instructions on this monument.

Just when he thought of this, he made up his mind, and suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing behind him.

This gust of cold wind came very strangely, even with Xu Bai's soul, he didn't feel it. When the cold wind blew on his body, he actually had goose bumps on his body.

It can make him have goose bumps all over his body with his current strength, and it comes and goes without a trace, even his soul didn't sense it. This cold wind has something.

Almost subconsciously, Xu Bai circulated his true energy, and beautiful patterns appeared all over his body, and the immortal demon soul Buddha body had covered it.

"Who!"

He turned his head suddenly and found that in the depths of the darkness behind him, a figure was slowly walking towards him.

As the figure walked, Xu Bai heard the voice of the figure.

"That stele is mine, haha...it's more than just a treasure."

"Those are the good things I found on those dead people, they are all the secrets they learned throughout their lives."

"There are dozens of them, I was planning to use them as bargaining chips, maybe it can keep me alive for a while."

"Oh, yes, there is also the truth, my guess about resource depletion."

"But...oh, my head hurts so much, it's eating my head, I don't want it to eat it, can you save me?"

The voice came from far away, and the figure also came from far away, clearly appearing in front of Xu Bai.

When Xu Bai saw the person clearly, his brows frowned slightly.

This man is a white-haired old man, dressed in ordinary clothes, the wrinkles on his face are like ravines in the mountains, and when they are coiled together, there is a sense of horror.

Not only that, the most important thing is that Xu Bai saw the expression of this old man.

If the head of this white-haired old man is split in the middle and placed on the ground.

Then you will find that half is crazy and half is sober, which is clearly divided but not conflicting.

When madness and sobriety occupy a face, the weird feeling comes to your face and your hair stands on end.

None of these are important. The most important thing is that Xu Bai saw a head in the old man's right hand.

The head no longer has a white tall hat, but Xu Bai recognizes that face.

——The man in white clothes and tall hat.

The face of the head is calm, but there are many scars, obviously having experienced a war.

From this, it can be seen that the identity of the old man in front of him is already very clear.

——The madman!

To be precise, Xu Bai felt that the old man was resisting the impact of the mind god. Maybe there was madness, but it was a sober madness.

I am not afraid of others' complete madness, but I am afraid of this kind of sober madness, because his sobriety makes the things he does more terrifying.

Xu Bai looked at the head in the old man's hand and sighed.

He died after all.

He had already guessed that the man in white clothes and tall hat might never come back, but he didn't expect that when he actually saw him, he still felt a little emotional.

When the world's resources are exhausted and everything falls into madness.

Such a person can maintain inner peace, do what he should do, and not do those things that go against his conscience.

To be honest, Xu Bai still admires him a little.

But... dead.

"Was it painful when you died?" Xu Bai asked slowly.

The white-haired old man shook his head, and a weird smile appeared on his half-awake and half-crazy face: "Hehehe, it was cut off with one knife, it didn't hurt at all..."

"Before he died, he said something about wanting to find a good grave for himself."

"He said that he buried so many corpses and wanted to find a Feng Shui treasure land so that he could have a place to go after death."

"I satisfied him."

As he said, the white-haired old man raised his head and opened his mouth.

The creaking sound rang out in the dark night, making people shudder.

Patting his belly, the white-haired old man smiled strangely: "This place is a good Feng Shui treasure land."

"Are you crazy or not?" Xu Bai asked.

When the white-haired old man heard this, the half crazy face trembled.

He held his head and screamed continuously, as if he was struggling because of Xu Bai's words.

But this struggle only lasted for a moment, and he put down his hand and looked at Xu Bai again.

"It's almost there, it's almost there, as long as I eat you, I can delay for a while..." The white-haired old man said slowly: "If it weren't for the person I killed at the beginning, he didn't want to be eaten by me, and poisoned his body, I wouldn't be like this now."

The first person?

Xu Bai quickly thought of the first time he met the man in white clothes and tall hat, the man in white clothes and tall hat also invited him to bury the body.

At that time, the man in white clothes and tall hat just collected a body.

No wonder the body was left behind, it turned out that in order to avoid being eaten by the white-haired old man, he poisoned himself.

"Hehehe..." The white-haired old man raised his foot and slowly walked towards Xu Bai, with a crazy taste in his tone.

"Young man, give me a bite, just one bite, I will kill you soon."

"It's not painful at all. Anyway, you are alive, it is a kind of pain in this world, why not let me solve it."

"Come on, like Gaoguan, he looked relieved when I ate him."

Gaoguan is the man in white clothes and tall hat.

Hearing this, Xu Bai's expression gradually turned cold and he took a deep breath.

Gold and grayish white kept circling around, creating a terrifying chaos that enveloped the entire mountain.

The night was also illuminated by this gold and grayish white, and the chaos seemed endless.

Slowly raising his right hand, Xu Bai's face gradually became cold, and there was a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

A gust of wind blew up his clothes.

Looking at the white-haired old man approaching, Xu Bai spoke slowly...

"I have always believed that the reason why people are human beings is that they at least retain their human nature."

"Gao Guan is very good, but he is dead. I admire him."

"You said that death is a kind of relief, so I will send you down to accompany him."

"It can be regarded as revenge for him."

As soon as the voice fell, the dazzling sword light suddenly surged.

The ruins can be released in the next chapter.
