Seeing that the progress bar was finally complete, a smile appeared on Xu Bai's face.

This progress bar was a progress bar he was looking forward to, after all, it was about Karakuri, and it might be able to merge with the Karakuri secret technique he had obtained before to produce new skills.

Ye Zi, who was rubbing Xu Bai's shoulders, saw a smile blooming on Xu Bai's face, and thought that Xu Bai had thought of something happy, and was about to speak, but he was held down by Xu Bai.

"We'll talk about that later."

The blue smoke slowly emerged, and the smoke that only Xu Bai could see gradually condensed in mid-air, and finally condensed into a line of text.

[You observe the secret art of man and soldier and comprehend the secret art of man and soldier. 】

After the blue text appeared, it quickly disappeared, Xu Bai waited, and probably waited for less than a breath for a new blue smoke to appear, which was a sign of fusion.

In the next moment, the blue smoke converged again, forming the latest text.

[Fusion options have been discovered, and they are being fused.] 】

[Secret Technique of Human Soldiers + Secret Technique of Karakuri + Essence of Binding Paper = Clever Puppet Technique.] 】

[Fusion successful. 】

……

Karakuri puppetry?

Seeing this line of text, Xu Bai was stunned.

This scene was indeed unexpected, originally he thought that there was only the fusion of two skills.

Now there is a third type, and this is the first time it has appeared.

The blue smoke disappeared again, this time not a new round of fusion, but turned into a piece of information that burrowed into Xu Bai's mind.

The latest belongs to the panel.

……

Without two skills, after the newly acquired skills are fused, a new skill is produced, called Karakuri Puppetry, which is a sixth-order skill, corresponding to the level of the fourth grade.

All in all, it is not a loss, but a gain.

Xu Bai closed his eyes, and after absorbing the information in his mind, he opened his eyes, took out the five-grade paper figure from his waist, and fell into deep thought.

The so-called Karakuri puppet still retains the use of paper-tying, but it integrates various essences of Karakuri, and many places need to be experimented.

"Bring out the materials I got from the Ou family yesterday." Xu Bai patted the hand on his shoulder, turned his head and said to Ye Zi.

Yesterday they went to Ou's house, and in addition to harvesting the progress bar, there were also a lot of precious materials, and these materials were used to make Karakuri.

Materials are not only precious, but also priceless, and are difficult to buy in ordinary bazaars.

Only in the Yin Yi, there may be, but it is only this possibility, and it is still difficult to find it with a high probability.

If it weren't for the Ou family's specialization in this, it would be very difficult to find.

The five-pin paper figure was thrown to the ground by him, and his body suddenly swelled, turning into more than three meters tall, and he bent down slightly to avoid reaching the roof.

The box was moved, and after it was moved, Ye Zi just stood quietly on the side, and didn't ask what to do, if there was something that needed to be done, Xu Bai would definitely give it.

Xu Bai stood up, rummaged through the box in front of him, and finally found a large number of useful materials, put them on the ground in different categories, and at the same time stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers at the five-pin paper figure.

The five-grade paper man stepped forward and came to Xu Bai.

Then, Xu Bai began to move and dismantled the five-grade paper figure in front of him.

There was a hint of surprise in Ye Zi's big soft eyes, as if he didn't quite understand Xu Bai's approach.

After all, the strength of this paper figure is acceptable, even if some masters get it, they will keep it properly, but now in Xu Bai's hands, he dismantled it without any distress.

"Childe does things, which is indeed very understandable." Ye Zi thought to himself.

On the other side, Xu Bai had already begun to move.

He took out the materials he needed and put them in different categories, and at the same time he folded the paper figures that had been disassembled again, and this time folding them was not as simple as before.

He first folded the paper figure to the size of a normal human body, without an exaggerated amplitude of more than three meters high, and did not make as many arms as before, just the size of an ordinary person, and then he put the paper figure aside, picked up the materials next to it, and began to make complex splicing.

In the whole process, the material is not cut, but the natural shape of the material itself is reassembled, and it is quickly reassembled into a skeleton.

Picking up this skeleton, he looked at it carefully, without the slightest slackness, even in those corners and corners, Xu Bai also looked at it with a rigorous gaze.

After a moment, he nodded in satisfaction, the skeleton looked flawless.

Then, he put the skeleton aside, picked up the paper figure on the side, cut the paper figure from the middle, and then filled the skeleton in, the process is very slow, every step is careful, just like a master's extreme focus on handicrafts.

When all the skeletons were put in, the next moment, the gap that was cut by Xu Bai at the beginning naturally closed and became gapless.

At this time, Xu Bai let go of his hand, and what could already be called a puppet stood up, walking as if he was a living person, without a sense of stiffness, and walking very silky.

Xu Bai nodded, very satisfied, there were no mistakes at present, but there were still some things missing.

He picked up the materials on the ground again and spliced them together again, this time on the outer surface of the puppet.

Gradually, the appearance of the puppet paper figure was concealed and turned into a wooden state.

After doing this step, he still didn't stop, and used the remaining materials to splice a long knife and stuffed it into the paper man's hand.

At this time, Xu Bai finally stopped, and the True Yuan Force slowly flowed, forming a connection with the puppet in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, the puppet moved again, swinging the long knife in his hand, and the long knife suddenly exploded, turning into countless fragments, spinning in mid-air.

Xu Bai's heart moved, the long knife was put away, and the fragments in the sky were recombined and changed back to their original appearance.

"How does it feel?" He looked at Ye Zi on the side and asked.

Ye Zi was already dumbfounded, and his plump lips were open, and he could stuff a lot of things.

From the beginning when Xu Bai was splicing, she was already surprised enough, and now looking at the puppet in front of her, Ye Zi only felt a strong oppressive force sweeping over.

"Childe, I feel like it's like a person, not a puppet, the knife it swung just now seems to have the shadow of your knife skills." Ye Zi sank down, her willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she thought about it carefully, she could only come up with this sentence because of the lack of expensive words.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "You're right, it's indeed more like a person." ”

First of all, this puppet has reached the level of the fourth grade, and it is not an ordinary fourth grade.

The previous paper man, although he had the strength of the five grades, could only be regarded as a midstream among the five grades, after all, he was a little stiff in terms of action, but now it is different.

With Karakuri as a bone, then with paper as skin, and finally with Karakuri as armor, the current paper man has been greatly improved in terms of defense and flexibility, and the most important thing is that this paper man can perform some simple knife skills just now.

Sipin, and can use the knife dexterously, and with the weapon Xu Bai just made, the current puppet is taken out, I'm afraid that even some ordinary Sipin masters will have to bow down.

Xu Bai said regretfully: "It's a pity, I can't get smaller anymore." ”

There is something to give, and there is such a big promotion, but the puppet in front of him can't become as small as before.

As a person who likes yin people more, Xu Bai feels that if it can be made smaller, it will be extremely perfect, and when the time comes, it will suddenly become bigger, and it will definitely be able to yin many people, but unfortunately, there is no such function.

"Childe, in fact, you only need to put on ordinary people's clothes, and then cover it, it will look no different from ordinary people, and it can also hide people's eyes." Ye Zi said very intimately.

"You're right, it's true." Xu Bai gave an order to the four-grade puppet in front of him.

The next moment, the Sipin puppet moved on its own, found a body of clothing, put the clothes on its body, and even put on its shoes, and at the same time found a face towel and covered its face.

The long knife is also inserted into the waist, and it looks no different from an ordinary person.

"Let's go, go out for a walk." After doing all this, Xu Bai stretched his waist and planned to go out for a walk.

He has been staying in the inn, and he has to give the other party a chance anyway, otherwise the other party is unwilling to move, then he will wait for nothing.

Ye Zi took out the veil from his arms, covered his face, walked to the door with a gentle movement, opened the door, and then folded his hands on his lower abdomen: "Childe, please." ”

The two of them went straight out the door and walked towards the street outside......

……

When the two of them walked out, nothing happened in other places, except for this mansion.

"Lord Tong, we have already found out about this matter, before the disappearance of these people in the family, they had no contact with other people, but only the Ou family is different." The official is reporting to the Tong Mansion Order.

Tong Fu Ling, from a high-class academy in Jiangnan Province, although it is not as good as Qingyun Academy, it is also a leader there.

Since becoming an official, he has come to his current position step by step, and he can be regarded as a party in power.

Unlike other scholars, he is tall and looks quite majestic, but compared to his temperament, he is an extremely proud mentality.

In today's world, there are many literati who are not accustomed to Jianghu people and military generals, and Tong Fuling is one of them.

Not only is he unaccustomed to it, but he often puts disgust on his face, in his opinion, he is a high-minded scholar, and naturally he will not compare with those who are not in the stream.

Tong Fu Ling has some skills, and he has managed the clay mansion very well, even now, there are many mansions that can't compare.

In fact, according to his current merits, he may have been promoted a long time ago, but the reason why he has not been promoted is because of what he said in the capital before.

——There are many generals in the world, and they need to cut their ranks and protect the big Chu thoroughly.

At that time, he was not a government order, and at that time, King Shengyou did not fake his death.

If he hadn't been a little talented, it was estimated that he would not have been able to get out of the capital at that time.

Of course, he didn't come out at that time, but came out lying down, and it is said that after he said that, the King of Ascension invited him to the barracks and drank for a night.

On the surface, he was drinking, but secretly everyone knew that because of the screams in the barracks that night, he never stopped.

After experiencing that incident, Tong Fuling didn't care either, but he still restrained himself a little and didn't dare to speak casually.

However, the contempt in the bones has not decreased at all, on the contrary, with the precipitation of time, it has become more and more.

Tong Fuling heard the report of his subordinates, and heard that his subordinates seemed to pause, looking very embarrassed, and couldn't help frowning.

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't spit out, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The official nodded hurriedly and said what was in his mouth: "The people of the Ou family said that before this, Xu Bai seemed to have been there, and other than that, there was no one else, and his subordinates doubted that it was related to Xu Bai?" ”

"Xu Bai?" Tong Fuling was stunned for a moment, then reacted and repeated: "Are you talking about that Xu Bai?" ”

"It's Xu Bai who is going to Beijing to be rewarded." The official hurriedly said.

Tong Fuling fell into deep thought and was silent for a long time.

Of course he had heard of it and paid attention to it, but what he didn't expect was that the other party actually stopped at the Clay Mansion.

It doesn't matter if you stop, stop and stop, you must be leaving, but now it has something to do with a missing man.

Seeing that the government order did not speak, the official closed his mouth tightly, stood aside, and waited respectfully.

After about a stick of incense, Tong Fuling finally finished thinking and slowly spoke.

"Pass Xu Bai."

"Yes!" The official finally got the order, breathed a sigh of relief, agreed, and hurriedly left with several people.

After the official left, Tong Fuling looked at the empty yamen hall and snorted coldly.

"It's disgusting to have to deal with these people again."

……

Xu Bai took Ye Zi and walked around the street for a while, but he didn't find anything interesting.

There are not many other things in the clay mansion, but this porcelain is really a lot, but if you look at too many things, you will feel very tired.

Except for those merchants who came over to resell, Xu Bai really didn't have any interest when he walked around.

"Let's go back." Xu Bai felt a little tired, so he walked towards the inn with Ye Zi.

The two walked for a while, and soon arrived at the location of the inn.

Xu Bai stopped, and just happened to meet the official who came to the inn.

The official was also slightly stunned, and then waved his hand and said, "Come on, bring Xu Bai back to the mansion." ”

To say that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, Tong Fuling's arrogant personality also affects the people under him, and it seems that he is more unaware of the sky.

In fact, before this, Xu Bai also knew that this matter would definitely find him, after all, only he had been to the Ou family before, but what he didn't expect was that the other party had such a tough attitude.

If it is said that it is like the previous Heaven Supervisor Si Zheng Song De, it is reasonable to say that if you speak well, then Xu Bai will really follow along.

But if he is tough as soon as he comes up, Xu Bai will not care.

Everyone is human, can't you talk well?

You have to speak ill of each other as soon as you come up, who gave you your face?

"Childe, let Ye Zi come." Ye Zi stepped forward, his white ten fingers moving slightly.

The silk thread appeared in his hand, and the next moment, under Ye Zi's slight movement, a faint voice came out.

The officials who were about to surround them all stopped, and then they all took a few steps back, and some of them spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, and their faces turned pale.

"My son-in-law has a noble status, how can it be that you can overcome, the son-in-law didn't say that he wanted your life, so I will leave you a life." Ye Ziliu's eyebrows were upside down, although he was veiled, he could feel a trace of murderous aura circulating.

This scene was very exaggerated, and naturally it also attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians, and many people stopped and pointed at this side.

They have also seen ordinary people like the Yamen arresting people, but this is the first time they have seen such a direct confrontation situation.

"Bold!" The official wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and although he was worried, he still said strongly: "Do you know that if you disobey the order of the government, you will go against the imperial court, and if you openly oppose the imperial court, what will be the end?" ”

Ye Zi was still about to speak, but before the words could reach his mouth, he felt that his shoulders were pressed by a big hand.

Xu Bai pressed Ye Zi's shoulder, patted it gently, and said, "Don't be impulsive, let's go over and take a look." ”

The tone was very calm, as if it was none of his business.

But those who are familiar with Xu Bai know very well that the calmer he is, the more angry he becomes, and his anger will turn into a real price.

But the group of people in front of them are not the ones who need to bear the price, the people behind them who need to bear the price, Ye Zi's action just now has taught this group of people a lesson.

Ye Zi hummed softly, with a lazy taste, walked behind Xu Bai, and did not continue to investigate.

When the official saw this scene, he thought that Xu Bai had softened, and said loudly: "Come on, lock it!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

Behind him, in addition to Ye Zi, there was also the four-rank puppet.

Hearing this, the four-rank puppet moved, and pulled out the long knife at his waist, the long knife shattered, and the fragments were suspended around, surrounding the group of officials.

This scene is even more terrifying than Ye Zi's action.

The officials turned pale, and they didn't dare to make any movement at all, for fear that if they took a single step, they would be pierced by these fragments.

"I hate people who get on the nose and face, things can be done repeatedly, you answer me, do you really want to die?" Xu Bai's tone was very calm.

A unique murderous aura emerged from him, constantly surrounding him.

Locked?

Since he was in this circle, no one had ever dared to say this to him, and even Song De, who was in charge of these things, explained his reasons to him well.

Now these dogs dare to say these things?

If he really committed a crime, he would have confessed to locking him, but now he just asked him to go over and clarify the facts, so why lock him up?

Lock up and arrest people without evidence, or arrest a court official, who gives him so much power?

"Palm." Xu Bai said slowly.

The four-rank puppet moved, turning into a gust of breeze.

The next moment, there was a scream from the official who had just spoken, his face was swollen, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

"Can't lock it yet?" Xu Bai said: "If you mention it again, I will ask for your head." ”

The scene was silent, and no one dared to speak.

Xu Bai waved his sleeves and said, "Lead the way." ”

With the scene just now, this group of officials cowered, they were just dogs fighting people, but now they couldn't even let out a word.

Not long after, Xu Bai rushed to the government under the leadership of the officials.

During the whole process, these officials were silent, they had never encountered such a situation, in the past, when they arrested people, it was extremely arrogant, and no one had ever resisted, but now it is very different.

When Xu Bai stepped into the mansion, Tong Fuling saw this scene again, especially when he saw that both sides of his face were swollen under one of his subordinates, and he naturally knew very well what was happening.

"Lord Xu, what a great official."

Tong Fuling sneered.

Xu Bai put his hand on the handle of the black knife, and said vigorously: "Compared to Lord Fu Ling, my official authority is still small, and he wants to lock it up and bring me over as soon as he comes, I want to ask me what I have committed?" ”

Locked?

Tong Fuling's face was full of astonishment, and he looked at those subordinates.

Several officials winced and nodded, admitting that what Xu Bai said was true.

Tong Fuling's face immediately became gloomy.

This group of subordinates has been with him for a long time, and they have become extremely arrogant, haven't they figured out what the situation is now?

According to the laws of the Great Chu State, even if it is an ordinary person, he cannot be locked without conclusive evidence, just let them come and find out.

What's more, Xu Bai is the head of the palace, which is equivalent to an official of the imperial court, and daring to do this is simply a long life!

"Lord Xu, I offended a lot just now, I hope you will forgive me." Tong Fu ordered.

On the surface, it looks like an apology, but it doesn't look like an apology at all, and he doesn't even make a move, and his hands are still behind his back.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes, which was why he was reluctant to deal with these people.

Not every government order is the same as Zhou's government order.

Now he has encountered a strange thing, that is, the government order that looks down on the people of the rivers and lakes.

From beginning to end, he maintained that pride, as if someone owed him money.

"Just apologize and you're done?" Xu Bai said slowly: "According to the laws of the Great Chu Kingdom, how should they be punished for doing this?" ”

Now that he can see it, there is no need to do any more rules and etiquette, this guy obviously looks down on the people of the rivers and lakes, and it is useless to do more, it is better to be direct.

When Tong Fuling heard this, his face became more and more gloomy, and he said, "Lord Xu, you have to be forgiving and forgiving." ”

"So you mean that you want to protect your men?" Xu Bai said with a smile.

This smile looks very sunny, but behind the sunshine, there is a deep cold cold.

Tong Fuling knew very well in his heart that this was a charge on his head, so he looked at the other subordinates: "Thirty rods." ”

didn't go to Xu Bai's servants to come up, and took all those officials down, and soon, they heard a series of screams.

"Lord Xu, are you satisfied now?" Tong Fuling said slowly.

Xu Bai smiled: "Of course you are satisfied, what is your surname?" ”

"The surname is Tong." Tong Fuling's tone was not good: "Now let's talk about you." ”

"Lord Tong, please say, by the way, find a place to sit, since I am not a prisoner escorted by you, of course there is a place to sit." Xu Bai rubbed his waist and said, "This old waist is not used at all." ”

"Look!" Tong Fuling did his best to suppress the anger in his heart and led Xu Bai to his seat and sat down.

After Xu Bai sat down, Ye Zi came behind Xu Bai and gently rubbed Xu Bai's shoulder.

The four-rank puppet stood aside, acting as a guard, and his whole body was shrouded in clothes, and he couldn't see his true face clearly.

"Lord Xu will really enjoy it." Tong Fuling said slowly: "Now, let's talk about some business, there are many families who have disappeared a lot, and before that, the Ou family said that you have been to ......"

The cause and effect of the matter, Tong Fuling said it.

After finishing speaking, he stopped making a noise and waited for Xu Bai's answer.

"Oh, that's it." Xu Bai showed an expression of sudden realization, as if he had only known, and said: "If you want to talk about this, it is actually very simple, you go to Zimu Mansion to inquire, this is what the master of the Clever Pavilion told me, I just went to visit." ”

"But this official heard that you also beat their old butler." Tong Fuling continued to ask.

"If the dog is disobedient, I will beat the dog, this is the same as those subordinates of Lord Tong just now, does this matter have anything to do with me?" Xu Bai said casually.

When Tong Fuling heard this, he stood up with a snort: "Lord Xu, you are just a prefect, and the words you say now are inevitably too indifferent to the official, do you know that with what you just said, the official can put you in a prison cell." ”

Xu Bai tilted his head, looking like a hanger, and said, "Anything else?" ”

Tong Fuling was stunned for a moment, and was confused by this sentence, and subconsciously said: "No." ”

"Ye Zi, let's go." Xu Bai stood up, turned around and prepared to leave.

Ye Zi followed behind Xu Bai, didn't say a word, and didn't look at Tong Fuling.

The whole process was full of contempt, and he didn't treat Tong Fuling as a person at all.

is still the same sentence, Xu Bai has always been a person who eats soft rather than hard, and since he came here, Tong Fuling has been constantly coerced and intimidated.

His temper is quite irritable, people respect me, I respect people, if you don't give me face, then I won't give you face.

"Stop!" Tong Fuling naturally felt embarrassed, and shouted angrily: "If you dare to take another step, this official will capture you." ”

There has never been a person who dares to be so arrogant in front of him, at least one Jianghu person, he has never looked down on him, but now he is ignoring him.

This is his mansion, but he is treated like this, he can't control it at all.

"Huh!"

The four-rank puppet pulled out the long knife at his waist.

"I persuade Lord Tong to still understand a little bit of human sophistication, there is no evidence, you dare to touch me? delayed me going to the capital, I will participate in your copy in front of Your Majesty, can you withstand it? Xu Bai said slowly.

Tong Fuling was silent, with a cautious look in his eyes.

Indeed, Xu Bai is now in Beijing to receive His Majesty's reward, if he is delayed because of his affairs halfway, and in the end he finds that he has nothing to do with Xu Bai, then he is slapping the emperor in the face.

After all, it was not Xu Bai who was delayed, but the emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor wants to reward a person, and you detain this person, and when the time comes, it will be passed from person to person, and it will be inconceivable, and it will be you who will suffer.

Xu Bai saw that Tong Fuling's face turned pale, he laughed disdainfully, turned around and left directly.

Even if Xu Bai walked out of the door, Tong Fuling still didn't say a word, and the previous arrogance and the current judgment are like two people.

Out of the mansion, Xu Bai took Ye Zi and the four-grade puppet and returned to the inn.

He took out a nameless sword scripture and continued to follow the progress bar, as for what happened before, he didn't care at all, just regarded it as an episode.

Ye Zi rubbed his shoulders, the four-grade puppet brought tea and water, Xu Bai was also comfortable on this small day.

He is living comfortably here, Tong Fuling is in the government, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels angry.

I wanted to take a sip of tea to suppress the shock, but after reaching his mouth, Tong Fuling didn't have the intention to drink it, remembered what happened just now, and threw the teacup on the ground with a snap, falling apart.

There is no one here anymore, after all, when he saw the Lord of the Mansion Commander losing his temper, everyone had quietly retreated, so as not to treat himself badly after seeing too much.

"Bastard, what a bastard! It's just a Jianghu person, but it's just lucky, how dare you shout at my head! Tong Fuling slapped the table angrily, his eyes red with anger.

"Don't be angry, sir." At this time, a person walked into the backyard of the government office, comforting him while asking Tong Fuling not to be angry.

"He Xu Bai dared to do this to me, but you asked me not to be angry?" Tong Fuling said angrily.

This person was recruited by him some time ago, because the old housekeeper of his family died of illness a while ago, he recruited a new one, and although this person looked young, he was very capable, so Tong Fuling recruited him exceptionally.

The housekeeper's surname is Chen, and he is not very old.

Steward Chen said with a smile: "Anger hurts your body, my lord, don't hold it in your heart when you are angry, you have to vent it to alleviate it." ”

"How to vent?" Tong Fuling tried to calm his mood: "If you can't catch it, can you do other things?" ”

What can relieve his anger is that except for Xu Bai to kneel down and kowtow in front of him, otherwise he can't relieve his anger.

"Of course you have to catch it, but why can't you catch it?" Steward Chen smiled slightly: "It's nothing more than that there is no evidence, and adults can make some evidence." ”

The voice fell, and the scene fell silent.

After a while, the voice of Tong Fuling came.

"Falsifying evidence, do you know that this is a violation of the laws of the Great Chu Kingdom." After hearing this, Tong Fuling's face was full of surprise.

It was true that he wanted to relieve his anger, but he didn't think about this method, after all, this method completely violated the laws of the Great Chu State.

However, when this Steward Chen said this, he moved his mind, as if something had taken root in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.

"My lord, we just made a false testimony and made him suffer, and then we said that this evidence is wrong and has nothing to do with us, just let him go." Steward Chen continued.

Tong Fuling fell into deep thought.
