Thinking of this, Xu Bai looked at the direction in which the people left, held the ghost head knife, and walked in this direction.

……

It was still early, and the five of them were running between the trees, hurrying to Shengxian.

It was surrounded by woods, and it seemed a little withdrawn, and at this time, the middle-aged man who was the leader, who was also called the boss by this group, suddenly stopped.

The four fast horses behind him stopped, and the men on the fast horses looked at their leader suspiciously, indicating that they did not understand what was going on.

"I always feel that danger is coming, so be prepared." The boss thought for a moment, frowned, and turned to the four people behind him.

Hearing their boss's words, these four people did not hesitate at all, and soon became vigilant.

They are well aware of the Boss's abilities.

On the rivers and lakes, there is a profession called the Dead Rider.

This trade is extremely good at long distances and transporting all kinds of important things, because they have an ability to avoid bad luck.

Their boss is this ability, and because of this ability, he has pulled them out of the line between life and death many times.

Hearing the boss say to be vigilant, everyone did not let down their guard and looked around vigilantly.

It's quiet, but there are still sounds of birds chirping and insects, which might be normal at other times.

But now they didn't dare to let up in the slightest, and everyone was facing one position, just enough to include everything around them.

"Nothing happened along the way, but something happened at this time, third, it seems that the person you got is not an ordinary person." The boss was thoughtful and reacted quickly.

"Boss, I've already killed everything, unless it's their families who come to get revenge on me." The third child looked puzzled, but after thinking carefully about what the boss said just now, a terrifying expression appeared on his face: "You mean that little white face is the one that Yin Yi met just now?" ”

"Shut up!" The boss scolded sharply, and after the third child closed his mouth, he turned around, looked at the surrounding woods, and said loudly: "Everyone walks the rivers and lakes, my brother has eyes and does not know gold and jade, and please raise your noble hand." ”

The woods were silent, and no one answered him.

About half a burn of incense passed, and still no one replied.

At this moment, the quiet woods are a little weird, the boss has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he knows very well what he is facing.

"I have no grievances with Your Excellency, maybe the third child began to provoke, I am here to sincerely apologize to Your Excellency." The Boss didn't stop and continued.

Still no one answered him, quiet as if no one was there.

After about half a burnt of incense, at this moment, the hearts of these five people were a little relaxed.

The third child subconsciously turned his head and wanted to ask, but at this time, a whistling sound suddenly came.

Just at this time, the third child turned his head, his vision was blocked, and when he wanted to turn back, it was too late.

The copper coins were wrapped in black light, whistling, each with unparalleled power, and at the same time, there were many of them.

After Maple Leaf Ruyu has the bonus of the Vajra Heart Demon Body, it has become very powerful, but it has lost the characteristic of being silent.

There will be gains and losses, Xu Bai is facing a different enemy now, he still hopes that it is better to have a power bonus.

The third child didn't even have time to make an expression, and his whole body was pierced by copper coins.

"That location!" The boss's eyes froze.

At the place where the copper coin was fired, a figure swept by like a ghost, and soon disappeared into the woods.

The man disappeared again, and with the help of the cover of the woods, no trace could be found.

"Your Excellency, since you have taken revenge, then let's forget about this matter, we have to be forgiving and forgiving, leave it to the front line now, and we will meet in the future." Cold sweat broke out on the boss's forehead.

He has the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but he can only use it on himself, and he can't protect the people under him at all.

At this time, one of his subordinates couldn't help it, slowly raised his right hand, and a crack appeared in his palm, and from the crack, insects with transparent wings flew out.

Yin Gu Master, Gu Dao Branch.

Unlike ordinary Gu Dao, the Gu raised by the Yin Gu Master was raised from the corpse of a person, and the nutrients he grabbed were also obtained from the corpse.

"Fourth, don't!" The boss shouted.

Now the strength of the enemy and the enemy is unknown, and the other party seems to be afraid of the number of people on their side, but that is when the other party does not know their strength, so now we must preserve our strength and not take it lightly.

But after all, he underestimated the patience of his men.

After the Yin Gu appeared, it surrounded the fourth child.

The fourth turned his head and said, "I'm just defensive." ”

"Don't turn your head!" The boss said loudly.

But by the time this sentence was shouted, it was already too late.

A figure was like a ghost, from far to near, and a sword light lit up in his hand.

The sword light was wrapped in the black light of the fourth-order Vajra Heart Demon Body, coupled with the armor-breaking effect that came with the Broken Style, this knife came down, even if Yang Chang saw it before, he had to kneel down and call his father.

What's more, a Gu player?

Heads flew up, and blood spilled all over the ground.

The human head rolled with a grunt, and its eyes were wide open with a final look of shock.

And at this time, the second and fifth children also moved.

The second child was an ordinary martial artist, pulled out the sword at his waist and slammed at Xu Bai.

Lao Wu is also a martial artist, and he used a short knife to slash at Xu Bai's legs.

One up and down, block all paths.

Xu Bai did not block, but stomped slightly.

The four Xun formations are up.

The flames rise, enveloping the second and fifth children.

The strength of the second and fifth is also good, and the current level of the four Xun formations is still a little lower, and at most it can only play a role in confusing and hindering.

"Alas, the experiment failed." Xu Bai sighed.

He just tested it, and now it seems that the Sixun formation has indeed lagged behind.

It's not a big problem, though.

Xu Bai threw maple leaves like rain with his backhand, and slashed at another person.

Due to the experiment just now, his movements were a little slower, and the opponent's attack came first, but there was an abnormality.

I didn't see any movement from Xu Bai, but the opponent's attack just failed.

Reversing yin and yang in all directions, even Yang Chang coveted this mental method, and the ability to mess with truth and fake is indeed exquisite.

The knife falls, and the copper coin determines the future.

The second and fifth children turned into two corpses and fell from their horses to the ground.

Xu Bai turned his head and heard a gust of wind, and the boss had already run away.

"It's funny, it's pretty straightforward."

He also thought that the other party would fight to the death, but he didn't expect to turn around and run, which is in line with human nature.

After all, no one wants to die.

But...... Can you run away?

Xu Bai lifted the ghost head knife and performed the four-way body technique, and every time he took a step, he flashed and moved like a ghost, chasing in the direction of the boss's escape.

……

On the other side, the boss drove the horse and fled quickly.

He has the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, just now I can feel it, the strength of the other party is extraordinary, if he stays there, sooner or later he will die, and only by escaping can he have a glimmer of life.

Just when his own men went down to block him, he ran away, which is not to blame him, after all, it is the most important thing to live these years.

When you have time, just burn more paper for them.

All around was woods, and only the boss was driving the horse alone, and the clatter of horses' hooves.

But the boss knew in his heart that the feeling of danger lingered.

"He's chasing him." The boss said secretly in his heart.

He was only halfway through this thought when he saw a figure dangling over his head and landing in the distance.

"Phew~"

The boss hurriedly grabbed the reins and stopped the horse, his face turned blue.

couldn't run away, the other party was determined to let him die.

"Even if the third child is disrespectful to you, you shouldn't kill them all." The boss got off his horse and looked warily at the man opposite.

"Didn't you say you'd come back to me when you were free?" Xu Bai was carrying the ghost head knife, and there was blood dripping from the ghost head knife.

At this moment, Xu Bai was like a demon coming out of purgatory, and his eyes were so cold that people shivered.

"I swear, I will never trouble you, can you let me go?" The boss smiled bitterly.

The answer to him was the ghost head knife in Xu Bai's hand.

The boss looked at the ghost head knife that was getting closer and closer, his heart tightened, and then subconsciously stepped back, dodging the blade of the ghost head knife in one step.

"Huh?" Xu Bai was slightly surprised: "Can you still hide?" ”

The boss wiped the sweat on his forehead: "I suggest you let me go, the two of us are here to consume, it's nothing more than to see who consumes who first." ”

Xu Bai didn't listen, reached into the money bag, took out a handful of copper coins, and the maple leaves rained out.

The boss made a slight mistake and avoided it dangerously.

"It's not footwork or bodywork, your ability is a bit interesting." Xu Bai touched his chin and said with interest.

The boss didn't speak, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say his name.

My mind was racing to think of a way to get out.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he still found nothing, so he could only drag it by his own ability.

At this time, Xu Bai spoke.

"The two attacks just now, your speed is not fast, but when I just raised my hand, I have already withdrawn in advance, is your ability a foresight?"

The Boss fell silent.

The other party guessed his ability and made him grit his teeth.

It's not a 100% pair, but it's not much closer.

Xu Bai smiled: "It's a foresight, I guessed that it should be about the same, you panicked." ”

The boss wanted to continue talking, but then, the other party didn't give him time to react at all.

A hazy black light rose from Xu Bai's body, like a ferocious beast, and he crashed into it in a daze.

"Dodge, dodge!" Looking at the ferocious offensive, the boss was crazy in his heart.

But he found that it didn't work.

The boss looked up, his face full of fear.

"This is the ability to surpass the seven grades!"

The fourth-order Vajra Heart Demon Body, corresponding to the ability of the sixth grade, is fine.

The Grimcer has the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but this is limited, and after surpassing himself, it is useless.

He only has the strength of the seventh grade, how can he dodge the ability of the sixth grade?

The Vajra Heart Demon Body skipped and slammed into the boss.

Cracks appeared in the boss's chest, and the cracks gradually spread, turning into a rain of blood.

All the blood mist was blocked by the black light, and only after everything calmed down did Xu Bai return to normal.

"We have to hurry up on this matter of mental law, and the consumption is inevitably too great." Xu Bai said secretly in his heart.

After the boss died, the surroundings became quiet and everything returned to normal.

Because he died on the Vajra Heart Demon Body, he couldn't find a good place.

Fortunately, the money bag on his waist was still intact, Xu Bai wiped off the blood stains on it, and took all the silver coins inside.

After wiping his tracks clean, he returned to the place where the men had died, and searched in detail, but found nothing useful, except for money.

The corpse was destroyed again, and he returned to the Yin Yi.

The Yin Post is still normal, and the post people don't know what has happened outside the Yin Post, or if they are still going on with their original lives as usual.

The old postmaster was still repairing the damaged room, and the sound of the hammer striking the nails was the only loud sound in the inn.

Xu Bai returned to the giant tree again and continued to observe.

Time passed unconsciously, and in the blink of an eye, the progress bar was halfway gone.

During this time, the life was peaceful.

"Squeak......

A tooth-sour voice came out, the door of the Yin Post was opened, and the old post chief stepped out of it, holding a note in his hand.

"The post chief's business is done, and when I leave office, you will become the new post master, but there will be a little variable."

Xu Bai took the note, took a general look, and found that it was from the catkins.

The message note said that his affairs had been done, and their respective teachers were responsible for recommending them, and this matter was generally stable.

However, there is a problem in it, that is, even if someone recommends it, it needs to be investigated, and the officials of the imperial court are in charge of investigating Xu Bai's origin and background.

After all, he is also an official, and it is necessary to go through this process, and Xu Bai has no opinion on this.

"You'll know about the messaging and receiving process at that time, is there anything else I need to say to her?" The old post chief asked.

"I'm going out today, senior, you can help me bring him a letter, just say if you can pass on the disguise technique and the method of changing your voice to me." Xu Bai thought for a while and said.

At that time, he was quite greedy for the ability of catkins, and listening to the meaning of catkins, ordinary people could learn and understand after learning, and they could also learn it.

But a lot of things happened in the middle, plus the spring flower pen, and the catkins they were about to leave, and he forgot about it.

"The method of disguise?" The old post chief nodded, indicating that he understood: "By the way, you have been copying something these days, it seems that you want to give it to others." ”

"There's a friend who needs it." Xu Bai stood up, and didn't want to say more about this matter: "Then I'll leave first, this matter is troublesome to the seniors." ”

"Well said." The old post chief agreed.

Xu Bai left the Yin Post and went to Shengxian.

Nothing else happened, and everything was fine as usual.

After returning to Shengxian, he first went to the bookstore.

The month of January has arrived, and according to the previous agreement, the bookstore owner should have exchanged new books from the imperial court.

As usual, there was almost no one in the bookstore, except for one or two people picking out things that had nothing to do with the book, and the books on the shelves were displayed on it, which seemed deserted.

The bookstore owner sat at the counter bored, and when he saw Xu Bai walk in, his eyes lit up.

"Boss, have you replaced the new book?" Xu Bai asked.

The bookstore owner pointed to the bookshelf next to him: "Of course, all of them have been replaced, and none of them have been left behind according to your requirements." ”

Xu Bai came to the bookshelf, and there were really different books on the bookshelf, and even the position had changed.

It was still early, and he had time to flip through the books on them one by one.

He looked at each book in general until he came to the middle book, and then he stopped.

A golden progress bar appears above the book, which is useful.

"It's good luck, and I really got a copy." Xu Bai was very happy, picked up the book, and gently flipped it.

The progress bar is slowly growing, and the contents of the book are on the paper.

This is an article depicting ancient wars, and he reads a page or two of the things in it.

The writing is excellent, and the huge war scenes are vividly depicted, especially the scene of the military formation, which is placed in the opening position, which is attractive enough.

Holding this book in his hand, Xu Bai continued to check the books in the back, but in the end, he didn't find a progress bar.

But being able to find one can be regarded as a reward, Xu Bai took the book, and after settling the account at the bookstore owner, he went straight out.

Before leaving, he also told him again, saying that he would have to replace a batch next month.

The owner of the bookstore was able to sell it, and of course he was very happy and readily agreed.

Leaving the bookstore, Xu Bai did not rush back to Yinyi, but went to the Fulong Dart Bureau.

Now that the post master's affairs have been roughly finalized, his next plan is to be implemented, especially here in the dart game, which must be handled completely and properly.

As soon as he arrived at the dart game, Xu Bai's figure attracted the attention of the dart masters, and they put down the work in their hands and looked at it together.

It had been several days since I had seen the dart owner, and now that I did, everyone was shocked.

Especially Liu Er, in addition to being stunned, it was more of a heartfelt ecstasy.

During this time, Liu Er didn't see Xu Bai, so he has been taking care of the dart game by himself, and he is now a celebrity in front of Xu Bai, and the dart masters are naturally obedient.

However, Liu Er knew very well in his heart that the dart game was just a trivial matter, and the really important thing was what Xu Bai said to him a few days ago.

Become an official, and then become a real martial artist.

Liu Er didn't doubt Xu Bai's statement at all, but believed it very firmly.

Even if he didn't see him for several days, he didn't relax at all, and did his best to keep the game in order.

"Dart Master." Liu Er stepped forward.

"Come to the backyard." Xu Bai's surging road.

After saying that, he walked straight to the backyard.

Liu Er was slightly stunned, and then reacted, his face full of ecstasy.

What Xu Bai said just now, he knew better than anyone else in his heart, which meant that he was about to really step into that mountain, a mountain he had never thought about.

Liu Er followed respectfully, always keeping a distance of one meter from Xu Bai.

Before leaving, he also glanced at the dart master who wanted to grab his place before, raised his head, and made a very proud look.

See, this is the right way to hug your thighs, even when walking, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds.

Details, what are details, this is called details!

Liu Er followed, walked to the backyard, and followed Xu Bai into his room.

The room was very clean, and it seemed that during his absence, Liu Er often ordered people to come and clean it.

Xu Bai sat on the stool and touched the teapot next to him, there was still residual warmth on it.

"The villain will make a cup of hot tea for the dart owner every morning, and if the dart master comes back, he will be able to drink it in time." Liu Er said respectfully.

- Details!

Xu Bai smiled, didn't drink tea, but took out a book and handed it to Liu Secondhand.

This is what he has copied in the Yin Post during this time.

Broken bone knife method, broken bone heart method.

This comes from the skills on the walls of Menghu Village, the level is not high, only the first order, and it is not very high in the first order, but it is enough for a martial artist to step into the ninth rank.

Although his skills have already been fused and become higher skills, it doesn't mean that he can't split other originally low-level skills.

Liu Er himself is a tool man, and it is almost the same to give a first-order one, but it is not good to give it high.

It's too high, what if there are any variables?

Even if this level of skill falls in Liu's second-hand, it is like a treasure.

Liu Er pinched it hard, like a rare treasure, reluctant to let go.

"Don't get excited, I'm conditional." Xu Bai said.

"Even if you let the villain go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the villain will never give up." Liu Er knelt on the ground and said loudly.

"That's not necessary, the conditions are very simple, not so much a condition, but a standard, if you can't enter the product when I'm about to do something, then you're not qualified." Xu Bai said slowly.

If you can't enter the product, Liu Er can't be in this position.

"The villain will definitely do his best to enter the product as soon as possible." Liu Er's eyes were firm, and he nodded vigorously.

According to Xu Bai's understanding, people like the dart master, their physical polishing is already very solid.

The difference is a book of minds, so Xu Bai feels that there should be no big problem.

"Hurry up." Xu Bai said: "I'll go first, and the next time I come back, it's the time to test your ability, and it's also the time to take you to the path of your dreams." ”

"Yes!" Liu Er lowered his head and said hard.

Xu Bai didn't continue to say more, left Shengxian County, and went to Yinyi again.

This time, he wants to return to the Yin Station, finish the progress bar of the giant tree, and then liver the book in his hand.

The giant tree's progress bar is halfway through, and it only takes time to succeed.

After leaving the dart game, Xu Bai soon came to the gate of the county seat.

But before he could get out of the city, he ran into a man in the middle of the road.

Yun Zihai was dressed in civilian clothes, dressed like an ordinary person, and was constantly wandering around the city gate, his eyes still looking around from time to time.

When Xu Bai approached, he also saw it, and Xu Bai immediately walked over.

"Coincidentally, I didn't expect to meet Brother Xu here," Yun Zihai greeted and bowed slightly.

In terms of etiquette, scholars can be said to have achieved the extreme.

"Lord Yun doesn't sit in the yamen, what are you walking around?" Xu Bai frowned.

To be honest, he didn't want to have anything to do with this new county magistrate, because in his thoughts, this guy came to the county for definitely not a simple purpose.

If it was really a punishment from the imperial court, why did he make him an official?

It was Xu Bai who felt that the farther away from these troubles the better, he just wanted to silently make a liver progress bar, and then amaze everyone.

"To govern a county well, you must first understand this county seat, I happened to visit the city gate, and I ran into you." Yun Zihai smiled: "Are you going out of the city?" ”

Xu Bai nodded: "I heard that you were assassinated some time ago. ”

"It's just a small role, I'm still waiting for their follow-up actions, but I didn't expect to wait for so long, and there was no movement at all." Yun Zihai said with a smile.

Perhaps because he spoke too quickly, he couldn't help coughing twice, and his pale face was particularly conspicuous.

"It's rude, it's sick, and I can't control it." Yun Zihai is ashamed.

Xu Bai raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance: "It's not early, I'll go first." ”

"Okay, if there is anything, come to Shengxian to find me at any time." Yun Zihai did not stay.

Xu Bai casually agreed, left Shengxian, and walked in the direction of Yinyi.

Yun Zihai kept staring at the direction where Xu Bai left, and waited until Xu Bai's figure disappeared at the end before he shook his head: "Very vigilant. ”

After saying this, he did not stop at the city gate, and continued to inspect other places.

……

Along the way, Xu Bai hurried slowly and finally returned to Yinyi.

At the beginning, the content of the communication with Yun Zihai was also forgotten by him.

"Everything is based on the progress bar, and everything else can be put on hold." Sitting in front of the giant tree, Xu Bai stared intently.

And when he was on the liver progress bar, in the suburbs not far from the Yin Station, a woman in ordinary clothes was rushing towards the Yin Station.

The woman was very young, probably in her twenties, and although she was dressed ordinarily, she was very beautiful in appearance.

However, if you look at this woman's hands, you will find that she has calluses between the fingers of her hands, and she is obviously a practitioner.

Especially around the woman's waist, she carried a pair of silver thorns, which shimmered in the sunlight.

As the personal maid of the Ninth Princess, Qingxue, who has the strength of the Seven Grades, has always been the only one of the Nine Princesses.

In fact, if it is really a personal guard maid, the strength is far more than the realm of the seventh grade, but the affairs of the royal family, many things cannot be judged by common sense.

She is faithful and loyal to the Nine Princesses.

This time, the Ninth Princess specially sent her over, in addition to simply investigating the matter of the Spring Rain Pavilion, there was more about the Jianghu people.

The secret letter was delivered to the Ninth Princess by other members of the royal family, and the content in it did not mention the matter of Yang Chang of the Spring Rain Pavilion.

What is the reason? Actually, if you think about it, you know.

The intrigue of the royal family has long been famous, and everyone can only believe half of their words, and the rest of the nine and a half points cannot be believed at all.

It's not true until you see it with your own eyes and know it with your own eyes.

Even though the Ninth Princess already knew the real reason for the incident in the Spring Rain Pavilion later, the Ninth Princess seemed to be very interested in that Jianghu person.

Qingxue is also here for this.

"In two days at most, I will be able to rush to Yinyi, and when I get to Yinyi, I will rest for a while, and then I will go to Shengxian County to investigate." Qingxue rode a fast horse, thinking to herself.

She knew very well that the Ninth Princess had the heart to solicit, and she had to investigate the identity and background of that person, of course, if she couldn't solicit it, there would be no other contradictions, after all, before that, the Ninth Princess had already explained the content to her.

The people of the royal family need to be cautious, but there is no such thing as written in the biography, if the solicitation is not successful, it will be killed directly, this kind of thing will always exist only in fantasy.

Even a small horse's foot is easy to be discovered by opponents, and after a little exploitation, the weakness will be infinitely magnified.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

"Alas, compared to other members of the royal family, the ninth princess is still too kind."

Thinking of this, Qingxue once again quickened her pace.

As a personal maid, she knows a little bit in many places, especially equestrianism.

Hurry up, and get closer and closer to Shengxian County.

Seeing that she was about to arrive in Shengxian, a person suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her way.

"Huh~" Qingxue tightened the reins and stopped the horse, staring at the person in front of her with coldness in her eyes.

The man was dressed in black, with a hat on his head, and a black veil under the hat, so that he could not see his face clearly.

But with a long knife on his waist, he stands out.

"Who are you?" Qingxue pulled out the silver thorn on her waist, and her words were murderous.

The man in black did not speak, reached into his waist, raised a handful of copper coins, a unique secret weapon technique, and sprinkled it towards the green snow.

Qingxue's eyes widened, and the hand holding the silver thorn kept waving, picking the copper coin off.

At this time, the man in black moved again, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and rushed towards Qingxue.

The two sides fought in an instant, and the sound of soldiers fighting one after another.

In addition to his superb knife skills, the black-clothed man on the opposite side also threw out a handful of copper coins from time to time, and his secret weapon technique was also extremely clever.

And every move has a killing intention, the purpose is to kill Qingxue.

"What a subtle secret weapon." Qingxue's brows furrowed.

Her strength is in the seventh grade, and the strength of the other party is also in the seventh grade.

But on the contrary, she is proficient in silver thorns, but the other party is proficient in swordsmanship and hidden weapons.

The two are equal to each other, and she gradually falls into the disadvantage, and there is a tendency to be invincible.

With an oversight, the long knife slashed through her right arm, cutting a wound on her right arm.

"Drive!"

Qingxue's reaction was quick, and she turned around and rode her horse, about to flee from here.

She understands very well that she can't beat the other party, and there is no need to fight to the death here, after all, she has a mission on her body.

The sound of the horse's hooves began, the horse's hooves fell, and the fast horse gradually moved away from the man in black.

The man in black made a mistake and chased towards Qingxue, and his speed was not under Qingxue.

Seeing that it was about to approach, Qingxue suddenly turned her head and threw out a handful of white ash.

The man in black stopped, waved his sleeves, and dispersed the white ash in front of him.

At this time, he had missed the opportunity, and Qingxue had already run away.

The man in black stood still, as if thinking, and after a few moments, he disappeared into the wilderness.

……

In the blink of an eye, two more days have passed.

For the past two days, Xu Bai has been sitting in front of the giant tree, staring intently, just to fill the progress bar quickly.

In addition to daily life, every day there will be a post man with new things to come, he will also take the time to take a look, unfortunately, there is still no new discovery, the progress bar does not find new ones.

Aside from the giant tree in front of him, there was only the book he got from the bookstore, and for now, he only had these two progress bars to need.

There is no new progress bar, and his interest is not high.

Fortunately, today is different, today is a new beginning.

There is no other reason, the progress bar is about to be full.
