MTL - I Have Unparalleled Comprehension-Chapter 131 This chessboard, okay! (8000)
Chapter 131 This chessboard, good! (8000)
When Xu Bai stepped in the first step, he realized that something was wrong.
On the ground, there are twelve corpses lying, which are the previous twelve sword formations.
The state of death was extremely horrific, with numerous scars all over his body, none of which was intact.
If ordinary people saw it, they would probably have nightmares at night.
Except for the dead Twelve Sword Formation, everyone else present was more or less wounded.
Song De's right arm has a long scar, extending from the shoulder to the wrist, and blood is constantly oozing out.
"What's the situation?" Xu Bai stepped into the mansion, frowned, and asked.
After hearing Xu Bai's voice, everyone reacted and followed Xu Bai's voice.
"Master Xu, some masters are here to silence them." Song De smiled wryly.
Ace?
Xu Bai pondered and said: "Even you are defeated?"
There are so many people here, and Song De, Zhou Fuling and Ji Gezhu are also masters, how could they lose so easily?
If there is such a master, it doesn't make sense to not use it against Xu Bai, but to silence him.
"The other party is using an extremely sophisticated hidden weapon." Zhou Fuling also had injuries on his body, and explained: "There are a wide variety of hidden weapons. At present, there is no way to see it."
Having said that, Zhou Fuling took out a round bead and handed it to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai took it and looked at it carefully.
Iron beads.
It's just an ordinary iron ball.
And this iron ball is also the murder weapon to kill the Twelve Swords Formation.
"Using only iron beads to kill the Twelve Sword Formation, and being able to do such a thing under your protection, this hidden weapon technique is indeed at its peak." Xu Bai compared it with his own Hui Feng Liuxue.
He found that if he used copper coins to cast Blissful Snow, it would take a lot of effort to kill the Twelve Sword Formation surrounded by so many people.
The surrounding situation is that it did not cause too much damage. Obviously, the opponent did not fight hard.
Of course, if Xu Bai used all his firepower, he could easily kill the Twelve Swords Formation surrounded by everyone, but this is another situation.
The other party's hidden weapon alone is worthy of attention.
"The hidden weapons at that time were overwhelming, but the most important thing was facing the twelve sword formations. We were only affected by some of the iron beads." Seeing that Xu Bai was still in deep thought, the chief of Ji Pavilion added another sentence.
Xu Bai nodded, showing a paper crane.
Immediately after the paper crane appeared, he used Trace and Trace.
But when the paper crane landed on the iron ball, it turned into ashes.
The search for traces failed, and the other party did not leave any clues.
"It's strange, such a master is stronger than Wang Shu just now, why didn't he come to deal with me?" Xu Bai thought.
This is the point that he can't figure out the most.
Send such a master, but just to silence, what other intentions?
"Ahem, Mr. Xu, Song still needs to remind me." Song De heard Xu Bai talking to himself, and coughed to cover up his embarrassment: "If he confronts us directly, he may not get any benefits. We It’s just that there’s no protection.”
Then, he explained what happened in detail, and Xu Bai finally understood the reason.
It is one thing to be able to fight, but it is another thing to protect others.
Song De and the others are very good at fighting, but when it comes to protection, it is not their strong point.
Obviously, the other party belongs to the type who is proficient in assassination. If they are far away, they will interfere with them with hidden weapons first. When they react, a large number of hidden weapons will be aimed at the twelve sword array. The sword array has no power to fight back, so this situation was created.
"Master Xu may have underestimated his own strength. If he really came to assassinate you, he might not be able to get any benefits." Song De said.
Others also nodded silently.
"So that's the case." Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "According to Master Song, is there someone behind this?"
Song De shook his head, expressing that he couldn't figure it out.
He didn't know whether there was anyone behind this.
But he knows a little bit.
"Master Xu, congratulations to Master Xu for his justice." Song De raised his hands, fisted, and cupped his hands at Xu Bai.
Now, everything is clear, if you still don't understand the true meaning, then Song De will be in vain as the supervisor of Tiansi.
"Congratulations, Master Xu."
"I knew, how could a righteous person like Mr. Xu do such a thing?"
"Now the person who framed Mr. Xu is dead, Mr. Xu can rest easy."
The Patriarchs around saw this and congratulated them one after another. As for the matter of their joint pressure before, it has long been thrown out of the blue.
These days, things like face can be lost, and they are also the heads of the family. If you don’t take advantage of this time to congratulate, or if you congratulate too late, you will be hated by Xu Baiji, and then go to the capital to read a book, then Isn't it the end?
Facing all kinds of flattery around him, the corners of Xu Bai's mouth slightly raised.
This is how it is these days. When you have nothing, everyone has to call big brother, and when you are already standing higher than others, even if you fart, they will think it is delicious.
"Master Song, Master Zhou, I'll leave the finishing touches to you. The other one is the master of Pavilion Ji. Let's talk in another place?" Xu Bai felt tired of hearing the congratulations around him, so he just After he could say a word, he walked outside.
If there is no clue, let’s ignore it for the time being, and let’s finish the matter here first.
Song De and Zhou Fuling looked at each other, and were about to do what Xu Bai said, but at the next moment, Xu Bai began to bend over to touch the corpse in front of everyone.
The expression of everyone is like this: òó
It's no wonder they have such expressions. After all, Xu Bai is a master of the fourth rank, but now he is doing things like killing people and touching corpses. The contrast between the two is too great.
"Ahem... Mr. Xu, you really have a real temperament." The master of Pavilion Ji racked his brains and finally came up with a sentence.
People around immediately echoed, praising Xu Bai for his sincerity.
The heads of several families looked at the Pavilion Master Ji with admiration in their eyes.
"As expected of the owner of Pavilion Ji, when we didn't know from which angle to flatter him, he had already found a novel angle. It's high, it's too high."
Patriarchs thought in their hearts.
Xu Bai: "..."
He put the money he just found into his pocket while enduring the tiresome compliments around him.
It's a pity, there is no progress bar, only some money full of money.
Xu Bai stuffed the money into his bosom, while looking at Song De and Zhou Fuling: "My lords, how about we divide it into three parts?"
"No, no, this is Mr. Xu's spoils of war, so we don't have to be cheeky to take it." Song De and Zhou Fuling waved their hands again and again.
"Then I will leave this place to the two adults, Pavilion Master Ji, let's find a place to chat." Xu Bai put away all the bank notes, and then looked at the Pavilion Master Machine beside him.
The owner of Pavilion Ji didn't know what Xu Bai wanted to say to him, but when he heard what Xu Bai said, he could only nod his head: "Why don't you go to Jiqiao Pavilion for a while?"
As he spoke, he led the way ahead.
Xu Bai didn't refuse either, and followed behind, and the two walked towards Jiqiao Pavilion.
Along the way, no one spoke, but the Pavilion Master Ji always walked behind Xu Bai.
The two remained silent, and finally came to the upper room of Jiqiao Pavilion.
Sitting on a chair, two exquisite maids served good tea. Xu Bai took a sip and narrowed his eyes.
"Xiao Shan, it's none of your business here, you go down first." Although the owner of Pavilion Ji didn't know what Xu Bai was doing, it was definitely not a trivial matter, otherwise it would be impossible to find him to chat with him in another place, so he let Ji Xiaoshan go down first .
Of course Ji Xiaoshan understood, nodded, said goodbye, and left the room.
After leaving, the room became quiet again. Xu Bai took a sip of water and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the owner of Pavilion Ji spoke first.
"Master Xu, Ming people don't speak dark words. Everything I do is for Jiqiao Pavilion, and you know that." The owner of Jiqiao Pavilion said: "This time, Jiqiao Pavilion didn't play a big role, but I have tried my best, and I hope Master Xu will speak kindly for us when the time comes."
He tried his best to keep his stance as low as possible. Even though he was once one of the best forces, his time is running out now and his strength has regressed. All of this depends on the emperor.
"Whatever Master Ji wants, you can just ask, and I will help you do it when the time comes, but I can't guarantee success." Xu Bai put down the teacup in his hand and smiled.
The owner of the Ji Pavilion nodded repeatedly: "I know this, I just hope that when the time comes, Mr. Xu can mention the Skill Pavilion by the way."
He needs the medicine in the palace to save his life, and also to restore his strength. He has mentioned it to the royal family many times, but in the end there is no satisfactory answer. As long as Xu Bai mentions it a little, the emperor will be able to know his intention.
"Yes." Xu Bai nodded and agreed.
"Master Xu, you must have other things, otherwise it would be impossible to ask me out alone." The Pavilion Master Ji asked.
He is not like other families in Zimu Mansion, those families do not have his background.
As a family that used to be one of the best, it is natural to know many ways of the world, such as now.
"Master Ji, Ming people don't speak dark words. I want to ask, is there any more ingenious secrets?" Xu Bai filtered the vocabulary in his mind, and said slowly.
The owner of Pavilion Ji was slightly taken aback.
He did not expect that Xu Bai would ask this question, so he was stunned instead.
In fact, this is indeed Xu Bai's real intention, and the reason is very simple.
In this battle, he fully realized how important it is to have a good weapon.
Hei Dao Bai Crack, directly combining his two skills into one, it is not as simple as 1+1=2.
Duan Po San Shi, together with Hui Feng Liu Xue, he was able to ingeniously fuse the two together without even manipulating the copper coins.
As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.
If there are more ingenious secret arts, or similar ones, then you can also increase the strength of your weapons.
This is a matter of great improvement, and he cannot let it go.
"Uh..." The Ji Pavilion Master was only slightly stunned, then reacted, and finally shook his head with a wry smile: "No, they were all destroyed by that lunatic, even I was severely injured, if I didn't pay a lot Even at the price, it is impossible to drive that lunatic away."
"Oh?" Xu Bai took another sip of tea and asked, "Who is that lunatic?"
"I don't know her identity, but he is indeed a lunatic, or an idiot." Recalling the scene of that day, the Pavilion Master Ji couldn't help turning pale: "He seems to have lost his soul, the things he was looking for and his soul related."
As he spoke, the Pavilion Master Ji took out the bow and crossbow he used earlier from his pocket.
The shape of this bow and crossbow is very ordinary, the type that can't be found in the crowd, but it played a wonderful role against the twelve sword formation at that time, and it was extremely powerful.
"This Tiantu Crossbow seems to have been restored by me, but in fact it has lost the most precious thing." The Ji Pavilion Master said: "Since Mr. Xu has seen the secret technique of ingenuity, he should be able to see the general idea."
Xu Bai took the bow and crossbow into his hand, studied it carefully for a while, then raised his head and said: "There seems to be something attached to the middle, if you put it, the power of this crossbow will be greatly enhanced. "
In the middle of the crossbow, there is a small pothole, about the size of a thumb, and oval in shape.
According to Xu Baiman's ingenious secret technique, we can see some clues.
Master Machine Pavilion explained...
"Every student of Jiqiao Pavilion will wear a natal card made by himself. After death, the natal card will absorb the spirit once, and finally condense in the natal card."
"Of course, all of this is what the disciples wanted. Collecting natal cards, and finally condensing them on the bow and crossbow. I don't know how many outstanding disciples condensed, but in the end they could only severely injure that lunatic."
"And after the crossbow lost its soul, the lunatic left. I suspect that he came for this."
"To say something cowardly, I dare not restore the original crossbow until now, just because I am afraid of meeting him again."
Speaking of this, the Pavilion Master Ji sighed, feeling as if he had aged several years.
A person is not afraid that his strength is low, but he is afraid that he will lose the spirit of the past, and the current Pavilion Master really has lost that most important thing.
"You don't have a soul, but you are thinking about something with a soul?" Xu Bai rubbed his chin, and for some reason, suddenly thought of someone.
Isn’t this the person whom the feng shui master talked about when he was in Yunlaifu that day?
A peerless genius who was born in the Great Wind Nation created the technique of Immortal Body, but in the end it was destroyed by the Immortal Body.
The so-called indestructible body has one of the most important shortcomings, that is, it cannot keep the soul, but that genius suffered a disastrous failure when he was modifying it, and finally lost his soul and became an idiot.
Xu Bai always felt that it was somewhat similar to the description of Pavilion Master Ji, but he didn't say it.
It is useless to say it, after all, the other party only knows so much information, and it is impossible to explore any clues.
In fact, Xu Bai also hopes to find clues. After all, the skill of indestructible body is very powerful. In his hands, it is even crippled, and it has already shown amazing potential.
Unfortunately, there is not much clue.
But it doesn't matter, this is just an extra gain, and he hasn't fully asked what he needs.
"Listen to the meaning of Pavilion Master, you don't have any extra books about skills here?" Xu Bai recalled the content of the chat between the two just now, and said.
The Master of Pavilion Ji nodded bitterly: "I really didn't lie to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu can find it by himself. It is true that there is no more. If Mr. Xu is interested in this aspect, there are actually many places similar to it. After all, we are in a business."
He didn't ask Xu Bai why he wanted these things. This is not something he should know, he just needs to answer truthfully.
According to rumors in Jianghu, Xu Bai has another characteristic, that is, he is moody.
Although the owner of Pavilion Ji is also an old Jianghu, he knows that the rumors in the Jianghu are very watery, but if you can avoid touching these things, don't touch them.
Xu Bai was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no place here, but when he heard that there are other places mentioned by the Pavilion Master Ji, his eyes lit up: "Master Ji Pavilion, do you know which places are there?"
"Since that time, I have been sitting here all year round and rarely go out, but I know one place, which is a mansion not far from Zimu Mansion, and there is a family there." The master of Pavilion Ji racked his brains for a while, replied.
"A mansion not far away..." Xu Bai raised his eyebrows: "Taotu Mansion?"
"Yes, it's Taotu Mansion." Ji Pavilion Master said: "The Ou family there is a branch of our business, but what they are better at is soldiers."
Soldiers.
Xu Bai is also a person who has mastered the skills and secret arts to the full level, so he quickly searched for some introductions in his mind.
There is indeed an introduction in Ingenious Secret Art, but it is very brief.
To make a very simple analogy, like what he is using now, it is to create a unique machine and then use people to control it.
But the soldiers branch is completely opposite, it implants all kinds of ingenuity into its own body, and let the ingenuity control people.
And Taotu Mansion...
Coincidentally, it was his next destination, and he could stay there for a long time.
Do you want this skill?
That is definitely necessary, as long as he can liver the progress bar, he wants it.
"I already know." Xu Bai drank up the tea in front of him: "Master Ji needs me to do something, and I will help you do it when the time comes. Since there is nothing else, I will leave."
Ask what he wants, Xu Bai doesn't want to stay here either, he still has the Unknown Sword Sutra in his hand, so of course he doesn't want to waste time.
"I'll see Master Xu off." The Master of Pavilion Ji got up and said.
Along the way, Xu Bai was sent outside the door before he turned back.
After Xu Bai left the Jiqiao Pavilion, he rushed towards the government office again.
I left it to Song De and the others to finish it, so I had to go over there to take a look at it anyway, otherwise it would seem too unreasonable.
By the time he arrived at the government office, it was almost coming to an end.
Just when Song De saw Xu Bai, he cupped his fists and said hello: "Master Xu, I'm leaving tonight. The matter here has been settled, and I will return to Supervisor Tiansi at that time."
In fact, there are quite a lot of rules of Supervisor Tiansi. For example, after handling various affairs, he has to write a detailed account of the ins and outs of this incident, and then submit it to it.
After submitting it, the higher-ups will have to study the matter in more detail and study its authenticity before it will be truly included in the file.
"I still need to stay here for a few more days, Mr. Song has a smooth journey." Xu Bai cupped his hands.
"This cooperation with Mr. Xu is very pleasant. Mr. Song doesn't want to stay any longer. He is leaving now. If Mr. Xu is free in the future, he can go to the Tiandao Tower and report Mr. Song's name." Song De also bowed his hands.
Just like when he came, Song De also left very quickly, and left straight away after saying this.
"I may need to disturb the government office these few days." Xu Bai kept watching Song De, until Song De disappeared in the corner of the street, then turned his head and said to Zhou Fuling.
Zhou Fuling said boldly: "Master Xu can stay as long as he wants in my place, but I was really joking when I said I would invite the girl from Chunyu Pavilion."
Xu Bai shook his head indifferently, saying that he was also joking.
When the two were communicating, the patriarchs in those families looked at each other, and then walked up to Xu Bai together.
"Master Xu, we..." The patriarch surnamed Zhao was the leader at the beginning, hesitating to speak, wanting to speak.
Xu Bai waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say much, since you are all contributing to this matter, then the past matters will be written off, and we will pretend that no one knows."
Actually, Xu Bai wanted to ask these people for cheat books again, but when he looked back, if he did it too blatantly, he would be missed by those who cared.
He didn't want Goldfinger to be discovered.
"I'm really grateful to Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, as long as you come to Zimu Mansion in the future, you can come to us for anything, and we will do our best." Patriarch Zhao was surprised when he heard Xu Bai say that he did not look into the past. color, patted his chest and assured.
Not only him, but the other Patriarchs also showed joy. After all, it will be of great benefit to them that this matter can pass.
Next, all the people present also left one after another, and each of the Patriarchs looked relaxed, not as dignified as before.
The Zhou Fuling found Xu Bai a superior room for Xu Bai to live in, and the first time Xu Bai moved in, he took out the Unknown Sword Manual.
As for the person who killed the Twelve Sword Formation before, he has no idea for the time being, and doesn't care about it. He will talk about this book first.
…
Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, Xu Bai lived in the government office for another day.
On this day, he didn't do anything other than liver the progress bar, and the Wuming Daojing had already reached the full level.
And the newly acquired skills have no relatively novel changes, from the third form of breaking to the fourth form of breaking, and it has become a fifth-level skill.
【Fourth Form of Breaking (Level 5): Full level. 】
Besides that, there were still 18 unnamed sword scriptures left, which he temporarily put aside, and first picked up the wooden chessboard he got from Wang Shu.
Speaking of the chessboard, he checked it carefully before making the progress bar.
The engraving is very delicate, so delicate that none of the lines on it has been reduced, even more detailed than some normal chessboards.
These are not the most important. After all, the change in appearance is no surprise to him.
The most important thing is that this progress bar is much slower than he imagined.
According to his latest estimation, it is at least a sixth-level skill, which corresponds to the fourth-level skill.
After getting this accurate estimate, Xu Bai was also overjoyed, so he put all his energy on the chessboard.
"Master Xu, your breakfast is here."
Outside the door, the servant girl's weak and clear voice sounded.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner were delivered by Zhou Fuling. The first thing Xu Bai did when he entered the government office was this request.
"Come in." Xu Bai smiled while playing with the chessboard in his hand.
The maid carefully opened the door, carried the breakfast on a tray, walked up to Xu Bai with her head down, and put the tray on the table.
As far as this week's government order is concerned, before becoming a scholar and taking this position, his family background is not weak, he seems to be a child of a rich family.
So his government office is quite rich.
"Master Xu eat first, call me after eating, and I will come to clean up the dishes." The servant girl said very sensible and sensible.
After saying this, he carefully exited the door and closed the door by the way.
Xu Bai was eating breakfast while playing with the chessboard in his hand, focusing on two tasks.
Some people eat with delicious food, some with beauty, and some with fine wine, but Xu Bai eats with progress bar.
But...it smells good!
"Even if it's a girl from Chunyu Pavilion, it's not as good as the progress." Xu Bai was thinking while eating happily.
Soon, the meal in front of him will be finished.
Placing the bowls and chopsticks on the tray, Xu Bai was about to call the maid at the door to come in, but suddenly found something was wrong.
The tray was placed on the table. It was supposed to be stable, but it was slightly tilted to one side.
One side is high and the other is low. If you don't observe carefully, you really can't see it.
When this happens, it is usually because there is something under it, otherwise it is impossible to tilt.
"There is a problem." Xu Bai touched his chin and thought to himself.
Based on Zhou Fuling's family background, how could he use such dilapidated tableware to entertain people? Moreover, Xu Bai's status is unusual, so it is absolutely impossible for him to be shabby in this place.
Xu Bai looked around, took a step back, and pulled out the black knife at his waist.
The tip of the knife lightly brushed against the wooden tray, and the wooden tray was split into two, and then, something under the tray appeared.
It was a letter, a very simple letter.
The letter was not signed, so I don't know who got it.
Xu Bai pondered for a while, and opened the letter paper in front of him.
The contents of the letter appeared vividly on the paper, Xu Baizai looked down carefully, but frowned.
【Senior Master Xu personally. 】
【My lord, this trip to Beijing must be full of difficulties. In the battle of Zimu Mansion, my lord's actions have been seen by my subordinates. While I admire you, I worry about disturbing your master's plan. 】
【The Twelve Sword Formation was killed by me, Mr. Xu, don’t doubt it. I am not the one who wants to assassinate you. I am not used to seeing these people burn, kill and plunder on weekdays. Let them have a due punishment. 】
【That night, I thought Master Xu would let them live and make meritorious deeds, so I acted. After all, people like this deserve to die. 】
【Besides this, I have no other purpose. Master Xu can continue to go to Beijing. As for my identity, it is inconvenient to disclose. 】
At this point, the content of the letter is gone, but it has been explained very clearly.
First of all, the person who wrote the letter has stated that he is not against Xu Bai.
Secondly, the reason why he killed the Twelve Swords Formation was because he was worried that Xu Bai would give them a chance to survive and make them deserve crimes and meritorious deeds, so he shot directly.
Finally, he also stated not to let Xu Bai check his identity.
"It's interesting, you made me interested." Xu Bai put the letter paper in front of him away, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing an interested smile.
Although he doesn't know the other party's identity yet, it has already made him interested.
"Since you are in such a hurry to let me go to Beijing, then I will stay for two more days before leaving." Xu Bai took back the black knife and thought.
Thinking of this, he called the servant girl in, cleaned up the dishes, and continued to work on the chessboard in his hand.
The servant girl was a little surprised when she saw the tray divided into two, but she tried her best to hide it. She lowered her head, cleaned up the things, and left the room directly.
Xu Bai didn't bother with the maid. Since the other party dared to use this method to send messages, he must have done a good job. After all, he couldn't even find the trace. If something really went wrong in this place, the other party It's too stupid.
"It's not that I don't want to go, I have to finish this thing, so, Your Majesty, this is not because I am lazy, after all, my strength is also good for your plan." Xu Bai looked at the chessboard in his hand and thought .
…
Here, Xu Bai was working on the progress bar, while on the other side, in the palace, the head of the eunuch, Eunuch Wei, raised his hand politely and knocked on the door.
This is the emperor's study room, and he comes here every day to review various memorials.
At this moment, the door of the room was closed tightly, and through the window, one could see the room where Emperor Chu was sitting at his desk and writing.
It seemed that he heard a knock on the door, and Emperor Chu raised his head after writing the last word.
"Enter."
It was a faint voice, but it was full of nobility.
Waiting until Emperor Chu's voice came from the room, Eunuch Wei gently opened the door, walked in respectfully, and put the letter in his hand in front of Emperor Chu.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest news. The crisis in Zimu Mansion has been resolved."
After saying this sentence, Eunuch Wei lowered his hands and stood aside respectfully.
"Panjian Mountain, Qipan Mountain." Emperor Chu picked up the letter, looked at the contents of the letter, and sneered.
"The servant will go now and destroy those two forces." Eunuch Wei's tone was soft, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter.
"No need." Chu Huang shook his head and said: "If we go to destroy them now, wouldn't it be exposed that I am always watching Xu Bai, wait, wait until the normal time, and then I can get this news normally , but before that, closely monitor them and don't let them have any movement."
"Yes!" Eunuch Wei bowed and saluted.
The murderous aura at the beginning disappeared completely because of Chu Huang's words.
"Go." The Emperor of Chu waved his hand and told Eunuch Wei to leave.
"The slave will leave." Eunuch Wei didn't stay long, and after saying that, he turned and left.
After Eunuch Wei left, Emperor Chu put the letter in the drawer, leaned back on the chair, and closed his eyes.
"The real boss hasn't appeared yet, maybe they won't do it until the last moment."
…
Xu Bai didn't know what happened in the palace, but with the passage of time, it has been a long time since he saw the letter before.
After this period of time, Xu Bai didn't stop, and kept checking the progress bar every day.
In addition to the progress bar of the liver chessboard, it is normal eating and drinking.
After so much enjoyment, he finally got something new.
