Chapter 87 The Situation Is Complicated and Various (8000)

If we were to ask what Xu Bai was looking forward to, it would be this progress bar.

Nothing else could compare to the progress bar, especially since this progress bar was left by the crazy female master. He was very curious about what skills were waiting for him.

After this period of crazy work, there was only a little left, and it would soon be completely perfected.

Some of the people who were setting up stalls around would occasionally look at Xu Bai's position. They were no longer surprised by Xu Bai's frequent sitting in front of the giant tree and staring blankly.

At first glance, they all thought it was very strange, but the longer they watched, the more normal it felt, until finally, they were all used to it.

There were so many weird characters in the world, and they just looked at them for fun. After watching them for a long time, they felt bored, and their indifferent attitude made Xu Bai let go.

As time went by, the progress bar gradually became complete, and after a few minutes, the progress bar finally finished.

A blue smoke appeared out of thin air, gradually gathered in the air, and slowly gathered into a line of light blue text, which appeared in front of Xu Bai.

[You observe the ancient tree with human face and comprehend the Infinite Dao Sutra (incomplete)].

After this line of text appeared, it soon dispersed and was slowly fading until it disappeared, but then a new line of text appeared in front of him.

[Found a fusion option, fusion in progress. ]

[Infinite Dao Sutra (incomplete) + Four Xun Formation = Dou Zhuan Xing Yi. ]

[Fusion successful. ]

New text appeared, and disappeared after it appeared. A piece of information poured into Xu Bai's mind like the sea, occupying Xu Bai's mind.

After a moment, Xu Bai ate the content of the text information cleanly, and he already understood the general usage of the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi skill.

A light blue panel appeared, showing his latest information.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Eighth-grade Wanderer. ]

[Broken Breaking Style (Level 2): ​​Full Level. 】

【Reversing the Four Directions Heart Technique (2.5th level): full level. 】

【Maple Leaves Like Rain (2nd level): full level. 】

【Si Xun Body Technique (1st level): full level. 】

【Fighting Star Shift (4th level): full level. 】

【Vajra Heart Demon Body (4th level); full level. 】

【Kidney Strengthening Technique (4th level): full level. )】

【Comprehension (full level). 】

The Si Xun Formation disappeared, replaced by Fighting Star Shift, and the strength of Fighting Star Shift is simply the strongest of all his skills.

The fragment of the Wuliang Dao Sutra at the beginning, which is the Wuliang Dao Sutra used by the female master, can simulate the abilities of others for their own use, but because it is a fragment, it can only reach the level of the sixth grade at most.

Not only that, but the side effects still exist, without any reduction.

But now it is different. After integrating the Si Xun Formation, it has become a brand new skill called Fighting Star Shift.

Although Xu Bai felt that the name of this skill was very similar to a man called his cousin, it was just a detail, so don't pay attention to it.

The so-called Dou Zhuan Xing Yi is based on the Wuliang Dao Jing and supplemented by the Sixun formation. In summary, it is to give back what you have given to others.

It's more like grass (a kind of plant).

Xu Bai was madly complaining in his heart, and he really wanted to know who gave this progress bar the name. This inexplicable sense of déjà vu was simply unbearable to look at.

But... it's enough to be strong.

Dou Zhuan Xing Yi is no longer like the Wuliang Dao Jing, which forcibly simulates the opponent's skills for its own use, but a kind of rebound ability.

In short, he can rebound everything below the sixth rank, including the sixth rank.

Even if the opponent uses a hidden weapon, he can simulate it through the Wuliang Dao Jing, and then use the Sixun formation as a guide, and then buffer it back.

Very strong, really strong.

But this kind of strength comes at a price, and the only price is that his true energy is not enough again.

Even if he has the Kidney Strengthening Method, which stores the sixth-grade True Yuan Force, don't forget that he now has two fourth-grade skills to cultivate.

The Diamond Heart Demon Body can attack and defend, and its attack power is even higher than the Broken Breaking Style.

This skill cannot be used, but now with the addition of the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, two fourth-grade skills, he only has a sixth-grade True Yuan Force and an eighth-grade True Yuan Force, which is not enough no matter how he splits them.

In short, it can be said in one sentence - the Heart Method is imminent.

"I must hurry up to learn the Heart Method, I am a little too biased now." Xu Bai thought.

The real essence is still the Heart Method.

To make a simple analogy, even if a man knows hundreds of tricks, he is just a lot of tricks.

If the speed is too fast, no matter how many tricks there are, it is useless.

So in the final analysis, it is still necessary to improve the essence in order to last longer, and for a long time.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai still did not move his position. He took out the book from the bookstore from his arms and read it carefully again.

Stay calm and don't panic.

Clothes should be put on one by one, and food should be eaten one bite at a time. You can't go far away and solve the things in front of you first.

However, after he finished the giant tree, he was still in a good mood. He felt that the progress bar on the book in front of him was no longer so boring, and it became very cute.

Sitting on the stool, Xu Bai was like a scholar, reading the book attentively.

The surroundings were still the same, everything looked normal.

Everyone wanted to live a peaceful life, no one was an exception. In addition, he wanted to live a peaceful life even more. Who would want to fight and kill all day long?

Therefore, Xu Bai felt that he had lived a very comfortable life recently, especially the sense of comfort, which could not be described in words.

But sometimes, a comfortable life may not last too long, and it is easy to be broken.

"Da Da Da..."

The sound of horse hooves sounded from far to near, and finally came to Yinyi.

Xu Bai heard the sound of horse hooves, subconsciously stopped, looked up, and frowned.

Outside the Yinyi, there was a handsome horse, and on the horse sat a beautiful girl in ordinary clothes.

The beautiful girl was pale, with big beads of sweat on her forehead, especially her left hand, which was bleeding slowly.

The blood was flowing down her left hand, wetting the clothes on her arm, and the fingertips of her left hand were still dripping with blood.

"Where is the postmaster!" The beautiful girl shouted as soon as she appeared.

Hearing the voice, the old postmaster hurried out of the room. When he saw the scene in front of him, he also felt something was wrong.

"Look at this and you will know." The beautiful girl said.

As she said that, she took out a token from her waist and shook it at the old postmaster. The old postmaster was slightly stunned when he saw the token, but soon understood.

Because of the distance, Xu Bai knew what happened here, but he couldn't see clearly what was written on the token.

"What do you need?" asked the old postmaster.

"Trauma medicine, and let me use your house for a while." The beautiful girl said.

"Okay." The old postmaster pointed to the house behind him: "No one is inside. The trauma medicine is in the cabinet. You can look for it yourself."

The beautiful girl said no more. After getting off the horse, she limped into the wooden house and closed the door with a snap.

When she entered the house, Xu Bai quietly approached and whispered, "Senior, who is this person?"

"The ninth princess's man." The old postmaster whispered.

The ninth princess?

After hearing the answer, Xu Bai was obviously stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal.

He lowered his head, thinking about the interests, and slowly moved away from the house.

In his understanding, this ninth princess should be very cunning. Now she inexplicably sent people to Sheng County. Is it because of him?

This is very possible. Although the possibility is not great, Xu Bai still has to be vigilant.

...

While Xu Bai was thinking about it, in the other room, Qingxue closed the door and locked it. Then he raised his white arm. There was a wound on his arm, which was shocking.

In the cabinet in the room, there are not only trauma medicine, but also white cloth for bandaging.

Looking at the wound on her hand, Qingxue opened the trauma medicine and poured it on the wound, and a stinging feeling came immediately.

Qingxue groaned, but forced herself to endure it and did not make too much noise.

The bleeding was stopped, and the effect of the medicine was very good. Qingxue waited until the pain of the medicine passed, then he breathed a sigh of relief and bandaged the wound with white cloth.

Touching the cold sweat on her forehead, Qingxue's eyes were filled with anger.

Especially thinking about the fact that she was attacked before and almost lost her life there. If the horse had not run faster, she might have really died.

"Who is that man? He is proficient in swordsmanship and hidden weapon techniques, but why did he come to attack me?" Qingxue narrowed her eyes and thought of some of the things.

Swordsmanship and hidden weapons.

These two things seem to be very similar to that Jianghu man.

Thinking of this, she restored the sleeves on her arms to their original shape. Although they were still stained with blood, she didn't even frown.

After coming to the door and opening it, she prepared to leave without saying anything.

But sometimes, the attraction of certain things is very strong.

For example, the giant tree in the center.

It's hard not to be attracted by such a big tree.

Just now, Qingxue was injured and was eager to treat it, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Now that the injury has healed, it can be seen at a glance.

And under the giant tree, the young man who was reading naturally attracted Qingxue's attention because of the giant tree.

A simple dress, with a ghost-head knife on his waist.

Ghost-head knife?

Huh?

Qingxue was stunned, and then reacted.

The most obvious feature of the Jianghu man that the Ninth Princess asked her to find was the ghost-head knife?

"Did he sneak attack?" Qingxue thought about it and walked over.

Xu Bai was reading quietly when he heard footsteps. When he turned around, he saw the woman approaching.

He frowned, put the book back in his arms, and stood up.

It seems that something is wrong.

Can he read quietly? He really just wants to read quietly.

Qingxue walked closer and suddenly pulled out the silver thorn from his waist and stabbed Xu Bai.

The speed was very fast and there was no sign at all.

This action was very obvious, which naturally attracted the attention of the people around the post station. The people all looked at the two people on the field with a look of excitement.

Xu Bai's eyes were shaken by the silver thorn, and then he was furious.

I was just reading a book here, and I didn't provoke anyone. Why did you suddenly attack me?

Do you think I am honest and easy to bully?

I can't stand it.

The silver thorn pierced into Xu Bai's chest, but under the guidance of the inverted yin and yang, that was the strongest point.

Xu Bai stretched out his hand and pressed on Qingxue's wrist, and then, he began to stir his true energy.

The silver thorns were possessed by some evil spirit, and they actually bypassed Xu Bai and stabbed towards Qingxue herself.

This scene was as if Qingxue was going to commit suicide.

The stars shifted.

As long as it was a sixth-grade skill, including skills below the sixth-grade, it could be turned.

The silver thorn stopped in a hurry, only an inch away from Qingxue's neck, and Qingxue's forehead was covered with a few strands of cold sweat.

If it hadn't been retracted in time, the power might have been gone.

"You are not him!" Qingxue shouted.

"I am your father!"

The answer to her was Xu Bai's swear words in anger.

Before Qingxue could answer, she felt her hair tighten, and then a strong force came over her. She unconsciously lowered her head and went towards Xu Bai's waist.

At Xu Bai's waist, what greeted her was not a strange thing, but a huge knee.

"Bang!"

The knee collided with Qingxue's face, and two lines of blood flowed from Qingxue's nose.

She had already lost too much blood, and after this blow, she fainted completely.

Xu Bai resolved the battle very quickly, and the people around him were stunned.

Several postmen turned their heads and secretly said that they must not provoke this man.

The old postmaster was also stunned.

This young man did not hesitate at all.

Fortunately, no one died.

Xu Bai didn't care what the people around him thought. He just dragged Qingxue's hair and walked towards the room in an extremely rough way.

During this period, Qingxue woke up and was about to speak after seeing her situation, but was knocked unconscious by Xu Bai's punch again.

After entering the room, Xu Bai closed the door with a snap.

If it weren't for Qingxue's last words, Xu Bai really didn't want to keep this person alive.

Not him?

Why not him?

It seems that someone pretended to be him and had a conflict with Qingxue.

Then there is something here.

There was light in the room, and Xu Bai was waiting, waiting for Qingxue to wake up.

Fortunately, Wu Fu's physical fitness was not bad. Qingxue woke up quickly and looked at the surrounding situation with a blank face. Then, she felt a huge pain in her hair and nose.

Thinking of what happened before, she already understood why the pain came.

Then, Qingxue raised her head and felt a chill on her neck. The ghost-headed knife was already hanging on her neck.

"I was wrong about what happened just now. I apologize to you." Qingxue answered quickly and without any hesitation.

"Oh?" Xu Bai was interested instead. This was not what he imagined.

He thought the other party would be tougher. After all, she was the Nine Princess's person, and her attitude must be strong. He had just beaten her up.

Unexpectedly, the other party admitted his mistake very quickly.

"If you are wrong, admit it. If you are responsible, take responsibility. This is what the princess taught me." Qingxue looked straight at Xu Bai, very calm.

"Where did you go wrong?" Xu Bai smiled.

"I shouldn't have attacked you first, but there was a reason for all this. There was a man before, with a long knife on his waist and a hidden weapon. His technique was very similar to yours. I guess he was impersonating you." Qingxue said: "I attacked you to test you, not to kill you."

She was telling the truth, and it was also her real thought.

The person who stopped her was masked and could not see his face. She had to find out the real reason.

These days, no one is really stupid enough to think that someone else did it because of an attack.

Facts have proved that her test was correct.

"Your strength can kill me easily. There is no need to let me go at that time, and let me run away. This is unnecessary." Qingxue said confidently.

"This is also the reason why I spared your life. Who is that person? Do you see clearly what characteristics he has?" Xu Bai said.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Qingxue's attitude of admitting her mistake is very good, and there is something going on.

Impersonating him, intercepting Qingxue, and deliberately letting her go, this is a bit like framing someone else.

What Xu Bai disliked most was following the path set by others. If Qingxue was killed at this time, the other party's goal would be achieved.

"There is no feature, but his hidden weapon technique is very similar to yours, even exactly the same." Qingxue said: "Although I haven't seen your hidden weapon technique, the Ninth Princess has already received news about your hidden weapon."

A princess, and a princess who controls an important financial source for the Great Chu State, if there is no such news, she doesn't have to do it.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said: "Okay, you can go, do what you should do, as for other things, don't worry about it."

This answer was unexpected, Qingxue was stunned on the spot, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Let her go just like that?

Something is wrong, she can't leave yet.

"I have seen the person I want to see, where else can I go?" Qingxue touched her nose, and a trace of blood oozed out from there again.

She was too ruthless.

If she wasn't a warrior, the knee strike just now would have almost smashed her head.

She doesn't know how to be gentle with women.

"The Ninth Princess means that we may cooperate." Qingxue wiped the blood from her nose and then directly stated her purpose.

"Okay, I'll consider it." Xu Bai said.

Qingxue's face showed a strange color: "Why do I always feel that your answer is so perfunctory..."

The word "consider" is an extremely routine answer.

For example, if you ask someone a question, or want someone to do something, and they reply that you should consider it, then it is probably impossible.

Consider, meaning that I don't really want to do it, but I don't want to offend you, so I'll give you a little face.

"Then let's go through the procedures." Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "How to cooperate?"

"I don't know either. I'm just here to confirm and see what you mean, but don't worry, anyone who cooperates with the Ninth Princess will be fair and just, and will receive corresponding rewards." Qingxue said.

Xu Bai nodded seriously: "Okay, I'll think about it."

Qingxue: "..."

Too much!

So this is how you go through the process?

It's simply inhumane.

Xu Bai didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out the door.

Qingxue didn't know what Xu Bai wanted to do, and subconsciously asked: "Where are you going?"

"To meet someone." Xu Bai said without turning his head.

Qingxue stayed in the room, her face was dull.

What is all this?

Since she came here, she has been losing her initiative.

Until now, she has not asked anything except "consider it".

Of course, there are still gains.

"This person is very clear-headed. He kills those who should be killed and does not kill those who should not be killed. He is not like some cruel people. The princess is right. You can't judge anything by its appearance."

Qingxue thought about it and decided to go to Chunyu Pavilion again.

Go to Chunyu Pavilion to see if there are any new discoveries. If not, she will get up and go back to the city and reply to the princess as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Qingxue found a brush and paper in the room, cut the paper into two pieces, and wrote the same content, which was roughly about her encounter with interception and her evaluation of Xu Bai.

Among them, the evaluation was quite standard and not biased at all.

After doing this, Qingxue found the old postmaster and handed over one of the rolled-up notes.

"Tomorrow at noon, you will use a carrier pigeon to send it to the capital. In addition, give me a carrier pigeon." Qingxue said.

These days, intercepting carrier pigeons is not uncommon, and everything must be prepared in duplicate.

"Okay." The old postmaster agreed.

Qingxue withdrew her hand, looked at the direction where Xu Bai left, and frowned.

…

It was getting later and later, the sun was setting, and Xu Bai had already arrived in Sheng County.

In the government office.

A room was brightly lit, and Yun Zihai was writing at his desk.

The weather was getting colder, and he was wearing a coat, coughing from time to time while writing.

His face was as pale as usual, and he looked like a sickly person who was about to die.

What he was writing now was a plan for the future development of Sheng County.

In the past two days, he had visited Sheng County and had a thorough understanding of the situation.

In his opinion, Sheng County was a remote small county, and it would take a lot of effort to develop.

After about an incense stick of time, Yun Zihai put down the brush in his hand, looked at the words on the white paper, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good."

The rough draft had been formed, and it only needed to be gradually improved.

Just as he was thinking about this, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

The knock on the door in the middle of the night seemed particularly eerie, especially in the empty backyard.

"Who?" Yun Zihai turned his head and looked at the direction of the door. He raised the brush in his hand, and a thick book appeared on his left hand.

"Me."

Outside the door, there was a familiar voice. He was just stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, walked to the door and opened it.

"I thought it was someone, it turned out to be Brother Xu. I wonder if Brother Xu came to visit the government office at night. Is there anything urgent?"

After the door was opened, Xu Bai was standing outside the door holding a ghost-headed knife.

"How about we go in and talk?" Xu Bai smiled.

Yun Zihai stepped aside and let Xu Bai go in first, then closed the door.

Xu Bai came into the room, sat in his seat, looked at the teacup on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Brother Xu came to visit late at night, it seems that there is something wrong." Yun Zihai said with a smile.

"Someone intercepted the ninth princess's personal maid, and used the same trick as me." Xu Bai said directly, without beating around the bush.

Yun Zihai had just taken two steps when he was obviously stunned after hearing this.

"What?"

He intercepted the Ninth Princess's personal maid and used the same hidden weapon technique as Xu Bai.

Framed?

Very likely.

"I don't know if you have seen this technique." Xu Bai raised his hand and struck out a copper coin, which was embedded in the pillar of the room.

"Maple leaves like rain." Yun Zihai was stunned, then narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that you are really from the Yun family." Xu Bai smiled.

The technique of Maple leaves like rain was learned from Yunxiang.

When fighting with Yunxiang, Yunxiang once said that this was the martial arts of the Yun family.

Yun Zihai's surname is also Yun.

So Xu Bai had this guess and came to test it.

"Brother Xu, you made me change my opinion of you. I originally thought you were a very cautious and powerful person in the martial arts world, but now it seems that your strategy is not bad either." Yun Zihai smiled and said, "I was expelled from the Yun family. Maple leaves like rain is one of the Yun family's martial arts."

"Oh?" Xu Bai just poured himself a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it. He gently turned the teacup in his hand: "Tell me."

"I gave up martial arts and followed literature, which was disrespectful to the Yun family. I was expelled from the Yun family, but later I entered Qingyun Academy. They wanted to find me back, but I refused." Yun Zihai explained.

At this point, it is obvious that Yun Zihai's tone is helpless.

Sometimes, reality is like this, without any deviation.

When you have no ability and strength, anyone can come and step on you, but when you have ability, strength, and background, whatever you do, there will be people behind you applauding and praising.

"The Yun family is loyal to the Sixth Prince, and it seems that they want to frame him. However, given the Sixth Prince's cunning, he would not do such a flawed thing. I think it must be the Yun family who did it themselves, wanting to show their loyalty to the Sixth Prince." Yun Zihai said.

"This is not just a simple show of loyalty. The plan of killing three birds with one stone is very well thought out and the calculations are also very precise." Xu Bai put the already cold tea aside.

"Why do you think so?" Yun Zihai asked.

Xu Bai sorted out his thoughts and expressed his thoughts.

"First, they tried to kill her on the way. After they failed, they might suspect me. Even if they didn't suspect me, if I had been too harsh and Qingxue had died, my crime would have been confirmed. This is the first reason."

"If I hadn't done it and the matter could have been resolved, I would have suspected who was behind it. The characteristics of the hidden weapon technique were too obvious. Since your last name is Yun, I would probably have suspected you. This is the second reason."

"If any of us handled the link in the middle wrongly, one of us, you, and the Ninth Princess, would suffer a loss. This is killing three birds with one stone."

After that, Xu Bai stopped talking and looked directly at Yun Zihai.

Yun Zihai sighed and said, "After hearing Brother Xu's analysis, I have rejected my previous idea. This matter was not done by the Yun family themselves. It was definitely instructed by the Sixth Prince."

"Oh? Why?" Xu Bai tapped the table with his fingers rhythmically.

"This is just a small test for the Sixth Prince, and the so-called price is just one Yun family. If it succeeds, he will get a hundred times the return. If it fails, it's just plucking a hair from his body." Yun Zihai said with certainty.

Xu Bai frowned.

This analysis is not wrong. After all, who would be willing to do it if they lose only a hair?

A small county, Sheng County, actually triggered so many serial routines.

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for your trust in me." Yun Zihai saluted.

Xu Bai shook his head: "It's not trust, but I think this matter is not so simple. You can't be dumber than Liu Xu."

Yun Zihai: "..."

He knows Liu Xu well.

On the surface, it looks like an ice-covered snow mountain, but in fact, it has a very irritable temper.

Is it really okay to say that?

Fortunately, Liu Xu didn't hear it, otherwise she would definitely come from Qingyun Academy with a pen in hand.

Xu Bai asked what he wanted, stood up, but did not leave, but looked up and down at Yun Zihai.

Yun Zihai was slightly stunned, not understanding what Xu Bai meant.

"Look, I have been frank with you, so you should also express your intention, for example, what is your purpose in coming to Sheng County?" Xu Bai said, pretending to be very frank.

He would never believe that Yun Zihai was really demoted to Sheng County. There must be something wrong, and it is not simple.

He did not follow the law and directly beheaded the prince.

In fact, it is equivalent to violating the law. This kind of punishment is extremely rare.

Yun Zihai looked helpless when he heard it.

Frankly?

Frankly!

Are you sure you are frank?

You just came here and told me what you encountered, and also told me your analysis. Is this called frankly?

Your Excellency really has a big misunderstanding of the four words "frankly".

Yun Zihai had a headache and couldn't help but think of what his junior sister said to him.

At the academy, Liu Xu told him seriously and simply.

"Xu Bai is a very strange person. You say he is cunning, he is indeed cunning, but sometimes he has a kind of blood that is unique to men, and it is easy to get along with him."

These are Liu Xu's original words.

I have been with Xu Bai until now, and I haven't noticed anything else. Weird is really weird.

Cunning, and really cunning.

"Brother Xu, are you sure you want to listen?" Yun Zihai asked after retracting his thoughts.

Xu Bai nodded.

Yun Zihai lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. After a while, he raised his head and prepared to tell his story.

"I..."

The words were not finished because something unusual happened.

The window of the room was suddenly pushed open, and then several flying knives shot from outside.

The speed of the flying knives was very fast, and they were in front of Yun Zihai in the blink of an eye.

This was aimed at Yun Zihai, and none of the flying knives were aimed at Xu Bai.

Yun Zihai's eyes suddenly widened.

Damn it!

He was busy talking to Xu Bai just now, so he relaxed a lot. Now it was too late.

Yun Zihai tried to twist his body to avoid the vital points.

He was bound to get hurt, but it was not easy to avoid the vital points.

But the next moment, Yun Zihai was stunned.

Xu Bai made a mistake and came to Yun Zihai like a ghost. He looked at the flying knife and waved his sleeves.

Under the encouragement of the true energy, the flying knife flew back along the original path.

The world has changed, and you should give him what you have given him.

Outside the window, there was a muffled groan. Someone was injured.

Xu Bai drew out the ghost-head knife.

The calm momentum just now disappeared, replaced by a murderous aura, like a butcher on a rainy night.

"Someone wants to die, and you can't stop him."
