In the quiet room, Ye Zi's words sounded, soft and slow.

When Ye Zi finished saying all the words, Xu Bai's eyes condensed slightly.

"Soul Controller?"

This is the first time he has heard of this industry, to be precise, many trades, he has heard of it for the first time, after all, his knowledge reserve is still a little shallow.

It's one thing to be able to fight, but that doesn't mean he knows a lot of things.

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Is there such a cautious behavior in this world?"

Caution?

No, this is just so that Ye Zi can understand, to be precise, this profession is very good.

The so-called soul control master is a profession with a large category of energy.

They can extract a person's soul and leave only a part of it in that person's body.

And the extracted soul is their method of controlling that person.

The extracted Soul will become exactly the same as the Extracted Spirit, and they will use a special method to condense their energy into silk threads, so as to control the Extracted Soul by condensing it into the same Divine Soul as the Extracted Person.

Whoever is controlled can exert all their strength through their control.

And the reason why this profession is special is that they will never appear in front of the world, and will always appear in front of everyone with the people they control.

What's more, there are special methods in this industry, which can avoid many means of detection and tracking.

Soul control is a disgusting business.

The vast majority of those who are controlled by them will never be able to get rid of it.

It is precisely because of this that many people feel their own crisis and stay away from this profession.

If the difference in strength is huge, you can directly extract the divine soul, and if the difference in strength is not large, there is still a condition.

The premise is that before they can extract the soul, they must let the extracted person fall into a state of chaos.

To put it more bluntly, it is necessary to be unconscious by the extraction, not to resist them.

Even if you fall asleep, you have to be completely unconscious.

"Childe, there is nothing strange in the world, and this business is also despised, because a long time ago, they used this method to control irrelevant people." Ye Zi explained: "Vainly trying to become a hegemon through this method, but it is precisely because of this that it has aroused the vigilance of many people in the industry and has been attacked by a group."

"It's self-inflicted." Xu Bai said.

Indeed, there is a way to control others, and it can also allow the person to be controlled to exert all their strength, and the ability of this profession is like a sword, hanging over the heads of other professions.

The most important thing is that even if the difference in strength between them is relatively large, they only need to make the other party unconscious, and as long as this precondition is met, they can extract the divine soul.

There are many ways to make a person unconscious, and this is the most crucial thing.

If these guys are honest, others can't find a reason, but once they make a wrong step, the reason will come out, and after the reason comes out, they will definitely not end well.

"According to you, it's hard to find out their whereabouts, and it seems that this time they have a plan for me." Xu Bai pondered. ….

Let him go over and talk about things, not to mention what to talk about, just this kind of scene is very much like a Hongmen banquet.

"Is Childe going over?" Ye Ziliu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She has learned these things, of course she knows the disgusting aspects of this business, and she understands that there are many ways to implement that kind of prerequisite.

When Ye Zi said this, the worry in his words was obvious.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Of course I want to take a look, but I won't be stupid enough to run over alone, after all, the other party is obviously prepared."

"Does Childe have a way to deal with it, or I'll go for Childe." Ye Zi bit his lip and said.

Xu Bai touched Ye Zi's face and said with a smile, "

It's not your turn to do these things for me, don't worry, I have my own way."

Ye Zi saw Xu Bai say that there was a way, of course she believed it unconditionally, so after hearing this, she also put her mind at ease.

Xu Bai took out the second-grade fortune telling book, didn't think about these things, and continued to raise the progress bar.

Since the other party wanted him to go to this banquet, of course he wanted to go, but he already had a plan, so he didn't think about it anymore, and continued to hurry up, with the same skill and one more means.

Ye Zi quietly stayed on the side, waiting quietly.

……

In the blink of an eye, a night passed slowly.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Bai got up very early as usual.

As usual, he went out to have a meal with Ye Zi, didn't stay on the street for long, returned to the room, and continued the progress bar in his hand.

Ye Zi was also very curious, he didn't know what Xu Bai thought, but when he saw Xu Bai's confident appearance, he didn't ask any more questions and accompanied him with peace of mind.

The Spring Rain Pavilion is only open at night, after all, it is a Fengyue place, and there is no one in the daytime.

Although the mysterious person yesterday did not agree on a specific time, only said that he would pass today, but the Spring Rain Pavilion would not open during the day, and it was definitely not the day that passed.

So during the day, Xu Bai continued to liver the progress bar, and it was not until evening that he put down the book in his hand.

"Is Childe going?" Ye Zi sat aside, his hands on his chin, his elbows resting on his knees, and he looked up at Xu Bai.

"No, no." Xu Bai said, "It's going."

As he spoke, Xu Bai took out a stack of paper from the cabinet in the house, took out a pen and wrote a large paragraph on it, and then handed it over to the four-rank puppet.

"This ...... It turns out that Childe is letting the puppet pass." Ye Zimei's eyes were full of surprise.

This really surprised her, she thought that Xu Bai was going to go over in person, but she just had a way, so she was confident, but she never expected that it would be a puppet in the past.

"I'm not stupid, how could I go by myself? If it's a hard hit, I still have some ideas, but his ability is too weird. It's better to be steady." Xu Bai said with a smile.

Ye Zi came back to his senses and said, "But Childe, what if you don't come over and they don't say it?"

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "He called me over to communicate with me about something, or to assassinate me directly, there are only two possibilities.

If they want to talk to me, my puppet can satisfy them, if they don't want to talk, then they can only assassinate, in this case, it doesn't matter if the puppet is in control or not." ….

This situation is nothing more than assassination and conversation, the puppet can talk on his behalf, what he wants to say and ask, is written on that piece of paper, and if the other party wants to say, it can also be written on the paper.

This seems to be the safest way to do it at the moment, and it's safe and effective.

The other party uses control methods to meet him, and he also controls the puppet to meet, isn't this all the same?

"Childe is clever." Ye Zi's mouth was sweet, and he praised with a smile.

Xu Bai stuffed a few more silver tickets into the arms of the four-grade puppet, so he let the puppet cover his figure and went out directly.

After the four-rank puppet walked out of the door, he walked straight towards the Spring Rain Pavilion.

Due to the reason for covering the figure, the four-rank puppet at this moment looks more like a person, and even the face is tightly covered, only a pair of eyes are exposed, but they are covered by the hood on the top of the head.

If you don't look closely, you won't be able to find that it's a puppet walking down the street now.

Spring Rain Pavilion is not far from the inn.

At this time, it was already dark, there were no people on the streets, and most of the people who were busy during the day were doing entertainment activities at home, but as an entertainment place in the entire Fenghua Prefecture, Chunyu Pavilion was full of people at the moment.

At the gate, there are either rich businessmen dressed gorgeously, or young people dressed brightly, or scholars waving folding umbrellas.

And on the second and third floors, the girls were leaning against the railing

From time to time, the flow of eye waves can seduce people's souls.

It is full of a taste of extravagance and nature, although it is in the hands of the Nine Princesses, it is one of the important economic sources of the Great Chu State, and it is also an important financial channel formed by the emperor through the hands of the Nine Princesses.

The four-rank puppet stepped out of the darkness, took a nimble step, and stepped into it.

Around, many visitors and girls looked over, and they saw that the four-rank puppet was not dressed properly, but there was a cold and piercing aura on his body, and they all turned their heads away and didn't look this way.

This person is not easy to mess with at first glance, and everyone who knows each other hides far away, but it does not prevent Chunyu Pavilion from making money.

The old bustard walked over with a swaying posture with a breath of wind and dust, and spoke: "Master, is there a good girl?"

She is a person with good eyesight, after all, she is messing around in this place.

When you meet that kind of weak scholar or rich young master, you will be called a son, and when you meet these people who are on the rivers and lakes at a glance, you will be called a master.

Different names can bring different effects, after all, everyone likes different titles, and this is the detail.

In this regard, Jiang Tong, who calls the Blood Butcher Knife Warrior, is not even as good as an old bustard.

The four-rank puppet couldn't speak, but it didn't interfere with Xu Bai's previous arrangement.

He put his hand into his arms, then took out a few silver tickets and stuffed them into the old bustard's arms, waving his hand impatiently.

Under Xu Bai's control, a particularly familiar action was formed.

It's like being a regular customer and doesn't need someone else to take it.

The old bustard was also slightly stunned, she had been in this place for so long, and she had never seen such a strange person.

But looking at the silver ticket in her arms, she thought that maybe this person knew something, maybe he just came to take a look.

In any case, there were enough silver tickets in his arms, and this person was obviously impatient with her just now. ….

"Master, then you go shopping first, if there is anything you need to command at any time, I will walk around this floor." The old bustard is also a clear-eyed person, and the most important thing is to get a lot of money, just this silver ticket proves that the person in front of him is definitely not poor, and there is no such behavior of eating overlord chicken.

After a while, the bustard was gone, and he walked very simply.

The four-grade puppet was even more straightforward, came directly to the stairs, slowly raised his feet, and walked towards the third floor step by step.

According to the agreed position, after coming to the third floor, the four-rank puppet found the corner room and knocked lightly on the door.

With a creak, the door opened from the inside, and a girl with heavy makeup, dressed very silky, looked up at the four-grade puppet.

"Are you ......?"

This sentence was not asked, only two words were spoken, and the four-rank puppet raised his hand to interrupt, there was a stack of papers in his hand, and the four-rank puppet turned out one of them and lit it up at the girl.

There is only a simple line of words on it.

"I'm coming."

The girl was stunned, and after a long while, she silently turned sideways and let the four-rank puppet into the house.

The Sipin puppet didn't hesitate, stepped into it with one foot, and even sat on a chair in the room.

"Smack!"

A crisp voice came, and the unclothed woman closed the door.

Immediately afterward, her shape became extremely strange, and dense silk threads appeared in the air at the joints, and they were hanging in the air, which looked very strange.

"Lord Xu, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that you are a reckless man, I didn't expect you to be quite cautious, you didn't even come really when you saw me, it seems that Lord Xu is worried that I want you to deal with you secretly."

Voices that are neither male nor female, male and female, echo through the room, and no specific timbre or gender can be heard.

When it comes to prudence, soul controllers have their own set of methods.

The four-rank puppet did not answer, and pulled out another piece of paper, and the contents of it appeared.

"I can't say it, I can't see it, I can't hear it, you better write down everything you know, including what you want to talk to me about today, you can write it down on paper."

Woman: "......"

this

What the hell is that familiar sense of déjà vu?

Isn't this his usual trick, and the other party learns and sells it so quickly?

Looking at the four-grade puppet in front of him, he put the paper in his hand on the table, obviously asking him to write it.

The woman gritted her teeth, obviously knowing that no matter how much she said at this time, it would be useless.

Pulled by the translucent thread, she pulled a pen from the table and wrote on the paper.

She wrote very quickly, only to write two full pages in a few moments, and finally stuffed it into the hands of the four-rank puppet.

After writing, the woman sat down directly in the chair, and the translucent silk threads on her body disappeared, and she didn't even look at this side.

In her mind, the puppet couldn't see or hear, so it was useless to talk too much, just write down what she wanted on a piece of paper and let the puppet take it back.

But what I didn't expect was that the four-grade puppet didn't leave, so how could they stay where they were?

The woman hesitated, looking at the four-grade puppet from time to time.

This woman is only controlled by a soul controller.

What I wrote just now is also controlled by the soul controller through the silk thread, so I don't know what to do now. ….

Speechless, the four-rank puppet just stayed here.

The woman didn't open her mouth either.

Time passed minute by minute, and there was no sign of leaving.

But this woman can't say much, and the person who manipulated her didn't manipulate it anymore, so she could only stalemate.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, the whole night passed.

The day is approaching, and there are fewer and fewer people in the Spring Rain Pavilion, after all, the Fengyue place is only open at night, and most of the doors are closed during the day, and the girls also need to rest.

At this moment, the four-rank puppet suddenly raised its feet, and in the woman's shocked expression, left the Spring Rain Pavilion......

……

Leaving the Spring Rain Pavilion, the four-rank puppet did not stay, and returned directly to the inn and handed the paper in his hand to Xu Bai.

After doing all this, the four-rank puppet quietly guarded the side and did not move again.

This is where the disadvantage of puppetry.

If it is far away, Xu Bai's control power is also limited, and he can only make some rigid commands.

He had given the order before, and the Sipin puppet had also come back according to the time he had calculated, before the Spring Rain Pavilion closed.

It's equivalent to making a directive, and what to do when and what to do is very rigid.

As for why he met the bustard, he took out the silver ticket, which was also an order given in advance.

If someone stops the four-rank puppet, the four-rank puppet will take out the silver ticket in his hand.

After all, in that kind of place, after entering, the only one who stops the four-rank puppet is the old bustard.

Xu Bai estimated that this range could only be expanded unless the skill of Puppet Technique was raised by some levels.

But now is not the time to think about this, Xu Bai picked up the piece of paper in front of him and scanned the contents on it with interest.

After a while, Xu Bai had finished reading the first page, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The content of the paper jumped to the heart......

[Lord Xu, I really didn't expect you to be so cautious, but this time you really guessed wrong, I am not against you. 】

[Those two men who assassinated you were arranged by me, I was the one who assassinated you, but this time I met you to help you. 】

[Whether you believe it or not, the soul control master is now just a street rat in this world, I only hope that by helping you, we can walk on the bright road. 】

[I have joined an alliance that has been formed by those who have dealt with you, and the purpose of this is to cooperate with you and make you through this difficult time. 】

[The other party is very strong, and I still don't know what kind of business he is, he said that he will destroy you and the entire Fenghua Prefecture together. 】

[I know that if I want to cooperate with you, I have to have a good bargaining chip, and I have it. 】

……

The content is divided into two pages, and this is the content of one of the pages, but Xu Bai can see through a lot of things.

First of all, it is divided into true and false.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about the fake, the other party is playing a Mission Impossible with him.

If you believe it, it will lead to a series of troubles.

As for if it's true, then there's something worth scrutinizing.

The other party's purpose is actually to help him, and then put the soul control master to the royal family, so that he can wash away the stain of the past. ….

But Xu Bai was more interested in the chips that the other party said.

Xu Bai thought about this, touched his chin, and turned the second page.

The second page is on the page.

[My chips are actually very simple, first of all, I will tell you what forces are against you. 】

[There is only one local family, which is the Tong family. 】

[As for the local area, there are a lot of miscellaneous forces, and these forces are actually not a threat to Lord Xu. 】

[The main thing is our leader, who doesn't even tell us what he does. 】

[But he has a very high confidence that he can completely destroy you, including the entire Fenghua State. 】

[Another point is that the leader seems to be waiting for an opportunity, if there are any changes in Fenghua Prefecture during this time, Lord Xu must pay more attention. 】

……

At this point, it's all over.

Xu Bai handed the paper in his hand to Ye Zi: "Let's see if you have any ideas?"

Ye Zi took it curiously, and after scanning it up and down, he put the paper on the table, his willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking.

After about half a pillar of incense, Ye Zi spoke.

"Childe, I don't think what he said is true or false, we need to consider two aspects."

"If what she says is true, then she is helping us, and if it is false, she is luring us into the bait."

"In any case, we need to investigate the local family in Fenghua Prefecture mentioned in the letter just now, as well as the leader, and what he said has happened in Fenghua Prefecture recently."

"We all need to consider these points."

Ye Zi said the truth.

Xu Bai approvingly, "Yes, you and I thought of the same."

Both true and false need to be considered, but now there is an order, which is in front of them.

Let's take a look at this so-called Tong family first, and verify what the other party said, how much is true and how much is false.

Ye Zi asked: "Childe, are we investigating openly or secretly, if it is an open investigation, the two of us are still enough, if it is a secret investigation, we need to monitor all the time, the two of us, I'm afraid it's not enough, do you want to let the state order help?"

Xu Bai said: "In this situation, it is not good to investigate openly, the state is different from the government, and the situation in the state is more intertwined, so it needs to be secretly investigated, as for how to secretly investigate, I don't need the help of the state order, I just need to find the Jiang family."

He didn't want to go to the state order, because he didn't know if this state order was those pedantic scholars, and it wouldn't be beautiful to find it in this case, so it was better to find the Jiang family, after all, before, the Jiang family had already expressed their thoughts and wanted to join.

In fact, there is another sentence he didn't say, whether it is bright or dark, it is okay, since the other party dares to pass on this information, it must be very easy to be discovered by Xu Bai, so whether it is light or dark, it is effective.

The reason why he wanted to come to the dark was that he wanted to give the Jiang family a chance, to be precise, he wanted the emperor to reward some other people.

Not for anything else, just to let the emperor break his fortune.

Along the way, at the beginning, Xu Bai felt that he had earned it, after all, there were so many nameless sword scriptures. ….

But up to now, Xu Bai felt that he had lost again, especially last time, and he had entered the Monster City inexplicably, and he felt that he had lost a lot, so he was a little unhappy in his heart, and he had to ask the emperor to break the fee.

And

It's not that he rewarded him, someone doesn't have to be a fool.

"If you find out that this family is colluding with those people......" Xu Bai stretched out his hand and wiped it on his neck, the meaning was also very simple.

"Let's go, let's go to Jiang's house now."

With countermeasures, Xu Bai certainly has to act.

Soon, he took Ye Zi to the Jiang family, and after entering the house, the head of the Jiang family gave him a very warm reception.

"Lord Xu, come all the way to me, is there something wrong, don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will go to the soup and the fire." The head of the Jiang family patted his chest and assured loudly.

Such a sturdy person, making this kind of action, looks extremely sincere and down-to-earth.

But in Xu Bai's opinion, these guys are as fine as monkeys, so they can only watch for fun.

At this time, before Xu Bai could speak, the head of the Jiang family grabbed Jiang Tong next to him and brought it to Xu Bai: "My lord, I offended Xiao'er a lot last time, let him apologize to you now."

Jiang Tong couldn't cry or laugh, looking at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him, he still listened to his father's words, and said respectfully: "Lord Xu, I shouldn't rashly call you the title, I was wrong last time, please forgive me."

Xu Bai waved his hand, this matter had long been left behind him, and the most important thing now was to solve the matter in front of him: "Master Jiang, how much do you know about the Tong family?"

The head of the Jiang family was slightly stunned, and then shook his head: "We have no business dealings, we only know that this Tong family is a big family here, and the business is a yin dart, specializing in special dart master trading, does Lord Xu have something to do with them?"

Xu Bai smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I got a piece of information by chance, they are related to the person who assassinated me, if the Jiang family master is free, you might as well spy on them for me."

Hearing this, the head of the Jiang family was slightly stunned, and then a solemn look appeared on his face: "Lord Xu, don't worry, if they have any abnormalities, I will definitely tell you as soon as possible."

Xu Bai nodded.

I have to say that this Jiang family is indeed quite good, as long as you say a word, they will agree.

"Since that's the case, then I'll take my leave, and this matter will be the head of the Laojiang family."

Xu Bai has other things to do now, the most important thing is the liver progress bar, this time to make things clear, he won't stay longer, he doesn't want to waste time.

I thought I would be able to leave smoothly, but before he could stand up, the head of the Jiang family reached out and stopped him.

"Lord Xu, wait a minute, Jiang still has a reluctant request, and I hope Lord Xu will agree." The Jiang family said.

Xu Bai stopped, turned his head and looked at the Jiang family master with interest, saying that he could say it at any time.

"That's right, Lord Xu, I am a martial artist, I can feel it, the momentum on Lord Xu's body is different, Lord Xu, have you comprehended the special sword intent?" The head of the Jiang family was also hesitant when he said this, after all, it was really not good to inquire about such a thing, but his heart was very hot. ….

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "That's true, the Jiang family master really has good eyesight, I don't know what the Jiang family master means?"

The head of the Jiang family gritted his teeth and said, "I am now in the realm of the three grades, but I have not comprehended the sword intent for a long time, if I can take a look at Lord Xu's sword intent, I may be able to touch the bypass, so I want to ask Lord Xu to fulfill it."

As he spoke, the head of the Jiang family took out a book from his arms, handed it to Xu Bai, and continued.

"I know that Lord Xu is a businessman, a businessman, and he wants to talk about business, so this is a deal, and this book is my Jiang family's swordsmanship."

"Although there is no matching mental method, it is still a second-grade book, as for the mental method, it's not that I don't want to give it, but my mental method is not matching, and the matching mental method has long disappeared in the previous war."

"If Lord Xu is willing, this book is yours."

As he spoke, the head of the Jiang family had a painful expression on his face, obviously giving this thing was also a huge price for him.

But there is no way, this world is always respected by strength, even if he hugs Xu Bai's thigh, it will depend on his own strength in the future

Target.

If he can comprehend the sword intent, his strength will inevitably get a qualitative leap, and it will be a good shelter for his family.

"What did you say, swordsmanship?" Xu Bai had heard it well, but when he heard the word swordsmanship, his eyes flashed with excitement.

Not just because of the progress bar, but because it's a swordsmanship.

To tell the truth, what man doesn't have a martial arts dream and a fairy dream, what is the most brilliant weapon in martial arts and Xianxia, that is, the sword.

For Xu Bai, he prefers swordsmanship, but helplessly, he is all swordsmanship along the way, even if it is Gu Yuefei swordsmanship, and finally it is fused into the wind and snow.

Swordsmanship! That's swordsmanship!

When Xu Bai was young, he was known as a person who held a wooden stick and did not have rape flowers within a radius of one mile.

Xu Bai took the book in his hand, looked at the blurred font on it, gently flipped the two pages, and suddenly said in confusion, "Then why is the head of the Jiang family so burly?"

A person who practices swords shouldn't be immortal, why has his body become so burly and strong?

The head of the Jiang family said very boldly, "This is the method of heavy sword."

Xu Bai: "......"

Suddenly I don't want it anymore, what's going on?

Give me back my long sword, I don't want a heavy sword!

This uses a heavy sword, and it always feels similar to a certain hero with a broken arm.

The head of the Jiang family didn't know what Xu Bai thought, and he showed his muscles there: "This is a real man's swordsmanship, as soon as the sword goes down, he will directly smash the other party into a pulp."

The corners of Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly, and he said secretly, "Then the fuck is the cloak hammer method!"

A sword went down and smashed the opponent into a pulp, but it really didn't conform to the agility and elegance of swordsmanship at all.

However, in his heart, he complained and complained, and in the end, Xu Bai still agreed, how to say that it is also a progress bar.

Immediately, Xu Bai pulled out the black knife and cracked.

In the next moment, the black knife cracked into countless fragments, and each fragment carried a terrifying knife intent.

When the knife intent came out, the audience was silent.

The head of the Jiang family felt it seriously, while Jiang Tong took two steps back, his face turned pale, and he felt the terrifying pressure.

This man is about the same age as him, but he feels that he is like a little ant in front of the other party.

"It's okay, it's okay, I didn't offend him at the time." Jiang Tongxin thought in his heart.

After about a few breaths, the Jiang family master nodded and asked Xu Bai to put away the black knife.

"Thank you, Lord Xu, I'm close to the edge." The head of the Jiang family hugged his fists.

Next, the two had nothing else to talk about.

After asking the head of the Jiang family to watch carefully, Xu Bai and Ye Zi returned to the inn from the Jiang family.

"In the last few days, don't go around, let the people in the inn prepare food, and I'll stay here for a few days until there is news from the Jiang family." Xu Bai commanded.

Ye Zi nodded and agreed.

Xu Bai held his book and continued to get up.

……

Time passed day by day, he did not wait for the Jiang family's reply, but waited for the improvement of the progress bar, and the progress bar of the second-grade hexagram book in front of him had reached the last trace.

Seeing that the progress bar in front of him had reached perfection, Xu Bai waited for the light blue smoke to appear.

Love to sleep lazy
