The voice was miserable, like the crow of a crow, unpleasant and noisy.

The man's hand was in his chest, blood running down his wrist, and his face was full of pain, and there was a bit of mockery in the pain.

"You thought you could grasp everything, you thought that when you came here, it would be smooth sailing as before, but you think too much, this only clue is gone, how do you find us?"

"Wow!"

Before Xu Bai could get closer, a bloody heart was taken out by this person, pinched in his hand, and the next moment the heart burst directly, and the person fell to the ground, no longer breathless.

The Gu worms on the ground turned to ashes and dissipated completely, and the books that were eaten also turned into ashes all over the sky.

Xu Bai walked forward quickly, looked at the scene in front of him, and was silent.

"Sure enough, it's a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." Wuhua sighed.

Now that this scene has appeared, even if you think about it with your feet, you can think clearly, the other party doesn't seem to intend to deal with them directly, and the poison that those people just now is all trying to get them to leave the state office.

And in the state office, there is an important thing that has been destroyed, that is, the book that the person just said.

At this moment, it is a mess, and it is impossible to recover.

Because the book and the Gu worm had turned into a sky full of debris and flying ashes, only this corpse remained.

Xu Bai raised his hand, and the golden compass appeared, but the pointer on it did not change at all, and it was weakly put aside.

With a wave of his hand, the golden compass in front of him was dispersed, Xu Bai still didn't speak, but there was boundless coldness and killing intent in his eyes.

Indeed, this time he really didn't expect that the other party would actually hit the state government with the idea, and used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain.

It seems that everything is cut off, and the golden compass can't be counted.

"Win your lord." Xu Bai groaned: "Do you know which book was lost? ”

The thing was gone, but that didn't mean there was no clue, he wanted to see which book it was.

Yingzhou Ling was slightly stunned, but soon understood what Xu Bai meant, and walked quickly into a room, and after a while, he walked out of it with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"It's not a book I brought with me, I'll bring my own books when I take office, but I know all the books."

"If it was I didn't know. It can only be the books brought by the state government, but many of them I haven't read. ”

The state order of a state, the place where he is naturally located, there are many books, and they are brought by the state.

As for the types contained in these books, they are all related to Lingyun Prefecture.

"Are you the order of a state here, haven't you even finished reading the book?" Xu Bai frowned.

As a state order, he must be a reader, otherwise he would not be able to be in this position, the most important thing for a reader is to read books, but now he is told that many books have not been read, which is unreasonable.

Yingzhou Ling smiled bitterly: "Lord Xu, after I took office, there were many people who gave me things under various banners, and they didn't give them expensive, because they knew that I didn't like to receive gifts, so they gave me some books." ”

"But after taking office, my schedule is very busy, and every day is full, if I have leisure time to be able to read two words, it is already leisure."

"I'm so ashamed, I really can't finish it."

As he spoke, Yingzhou Ling's face showed a look of shame.

It is true that a scholar who does not read books, and he will be ridiculed when he goes outside, but he knows in his heart that after doing this business, all he has to do is to focus on the country, and some of his hobbies have long been forgotten.

"That's right, Lord Xu!" Ying Zhou Ling suddenly thought of one thing, and said: "More than ninety percent of these books were given to me by them, but I have a characteristic of this person, I record all the things they sent me, and I may be able to find out something." ”

"Since the other party has done this, it must not be those books they gave you." Xu Bai said: "It's good if you go and check it." ”

Ying Zhou Ling nodded, and took Xu Bai and the others into the room together.

After entering, Xu Bai saw that a bookshelf inside had been scattered, and many books had been thrown on the ground, so it looked like he didn't know where the other party took it from.

Yingzhou Ling held a ledger in his hand and was constantly pulling on the ground, obviously trying to check the number.

After a while, he sighed, got up from the ground, and shook his head to indicate that he hadn't found it.

Xu Bai touched his chin and fell into thought.

Originally, he didn't have much hope for this method, after all, the other party was not a stupid person, and it was impossible to be negligent in this kind of detail, so he just had the idea of giving it a try.

Now it seems that this method is really not the best to use, and it is better than nothing.

"Lord Xu, in your opinion, what should we do now?" Yingzhou Ling asked.

There had never been such a major event in his jurisdiction, but now it had suddenly appeared.

That so-called Gu God Sect dared to attack ordinary people, this was really a taboo for His Majesty, if he didn't handle it well on his side, Long Yan would be furious at that time, and he wouldn't be able to escape.

If it is dealt with, he will be a blessing in disguise, and even if there is no reward, at least he will not be punished particularly severely.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "I don't have any other way." ”

At present, there are too few clues he can get, and the only clue is still cut off by the other party first, and if you want to ask him what he can do, he doesn't have it.

He's not omnipotent, he can conjure flowers just by thinking about it.

However, one thing is certain, that is, these people will never let themselves go, as long as they are still here, the other party will definitely make some moves, but now that they are really passive, Xu Bai doesn't like this feeling very much.

"Do you guys have any ideas?"

Everyone shook their heads, all saying that there was no way.

If there are clues, they can analyze and analyze, but without clues, everything is impossible.

Xu Bai walked back and forth in place, clasping his hands, constantly thinking in his mind, sorting out what happened today.

"First of all, the other party wants to destroy the corpses, and the things here must be able to expose them, so they don't want me to see them."

"Secondly, the other party really wants to make a big move, at least this big move is related to the mark on my body."

"Although I can't see where the mark is, and others can't see it, it doesn't mean that there isn't, after all, the information is confused through the rhythm, and there will be no fake."

"But the crux of the problem is who is the one who breaks the game, my feng shui calculations can't be calculated, which proves that the other party has completely cut off all the back roads this time."

"Wait, there seems to be a clue that can break the game."

Xu Bai's gaze swept over everyone.

Wuhua is not clear, Ye Zi is not clear, as for Miao Xiao, forget it.

Looking at her like this, unless it is related to Gu worms, it is unlikely that there will be a way at all.

Where are the Gu worms now?

All of them had turned to ashes, and only the corpse on the outside seemed to have some effect.

Wait, corpses!

Xu Bai suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Yingzhou Ling, and asked, "That woman who collects corpses should still be in the mansion now, right?" ”

Yingzhou Ling didn't know why Xu Bai asked this, but he still nodded and said that he was still in the house.

Regarding escorting the woman to the capital, he definitely didn't have time, because this incident happened early this morning, and he didn't have time to rush to the capital directly.

"Let's use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, Lord Win, take us to see her." Xu Bai said.

Ying Zhou Ling nodded, took Xu Bai and the others out of the room, walked through a corridor with a secluded path, and finally, came to another room and opened the door of the room.

This room is particularly elegantly decorated, and every place is full of the unique style of a scholar, even if it is an ordinary person, staying here for one night, it will be like a spring breeze.

Xu Bai walked into the room, his eyes echoing in the room, and finally, he found the poor woman cowering in the corner.

Women themselves are people in the industry, even if they are crazy, their recovery ability is still much stronger than ordinary people.

The wounds on his body have healed and scarred, and although they still look horrible, they are much better.

At this moment, the woman was curled up in the corner, her head bowed and trembling, as if she was very afraid, she had encountered those terrible experiences, and she was not afraid that it was fake.

After hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman's head, which had been buried in her knees, suddenly lifted up, and her empty eyes saw Xu Bai, crawling in front of Xubai with her hands and feet, as if she was very excited.

However, when she came to a place of one meter in front of Xu Bai, she stopped again, only daring to look at Xu Bai from a distance, not daring to approach.

Although the woman did not show fear when she rescued this woman before, this time after such a long time, it must have changed.

Just like now, with a hint of fear and curiosity.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to take you out to have a look." Xu Bai stretched out his hand.

In the eyes of everyone, Xu Bai at this moment no longer has a trace of murderous aura, and the terrifying aura on his body is gone, replaced by a gentle, like the water at the bottom of a lake, unchanged for many years.

Miao Xiao covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, and there were already monstrous waves in her heart.

She had seen Xu Bai Fawei, and she saw it in her eyes from beginning to end, on that night, Xu Bai was holding a black knife with a hundred cracks, like a god who came from the world, and even the darkness had to retreat.

But now Xu Bai is gentle and elegant, like a blank paper without ink, with no utilitarian nature, how to stretch out his hand and stand there quietly, without moving at all.

Gentle, yet eerie.

"If those who know his title see him now, their jaws will probably drop."

"A man who is as terrifying as a ghost, a man who makes the rivers and lakes tremble, is now like a piece of white jade."

"Lord Xu is worthy of being the person I admire, even if he doesn't have that murderous aura, he is so dazzling."

Sometimes, in front of fanatical fans, even if their idol squats on the ground regardless of their image, they will feel that this pose is very handsome, and this is the case with Miao Xiao at this moment.

The woman tilted her head with terrifying scars on her face, her eyes were still empty, but she slowly raised her right hand and was approaching Xu Bai's palm.

The hands were brought closer, and the hands that were gradually drawn closer seemed to slow down at this moment, making everyone breathe.

When the two hands were clasped together, Xu Bai showed a smile and smiled very gently.

Maybe the memories of his past life are still affecting him, or maybe the principles are affecting him, in short, when he sees this kind of hurt and vulnerable person, he can't move a trace of killing intent.

The two hands approached and gradually clasped together, Xu Bai saw this woman, although the woman's eyes were empty, but the corners of her mouth had a slight arc, as if she was smiling.

"Come with me." Xu Bai pulled the woman and slowly walked outside.

Ye Zi and the others followed behind and came to the courtyard.

The body in the courtyard was still lying on the ground, and at the moment, due to the weather, it did not stiffen quickly.

Xu Bai pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked, "Can you see something?" ”

He knew that the woman in front of him was crazy, but he always wanted to give it a try, after all, the only difference at the moment was that there was more of this woman.

So try to keep the question as simple as possible, and if the other party can understand, that's the best.

There's nothing wrong with giving it a try, if you don't try it, then forget it, if you try it out, it's earning.

The woman continued to tilt her head, staring at the corpse in front of her, as if thinking about something.

She kept standing behind Xu Bai and didn't step forward.

Xu Bai took her with him, he was very patient, and if he could find clues, he would be even more patient.

The woman didn't speak, just looked at the corpse on the ground, as if she also felt a little annoyed, suddenly raised her hand and waved it gently.

This action seemed simple, but when she used it, the corpse on the ground moved.

In front of everyone's eyes, the heartless corpse suddenly twitched, as if it was not dead.

The corpse's eyes were tightly closed, and its mouth was wide open, maintaining its pre-death appearance.

But the twitching for no reason gives people an extremely weird feeling.

The next moment, the corpse suddenly reversed its hands, propped it on the ground, and under the force, it changed from a lying posture to a standing posture.

Except for the closed eyes and the gaping mouth and the bloody hole in the chest, with a bloody visual experience, other than that, it's like a person.

The woman let go of Xu Bai's hand, and then, she ran to the crushed heart and picked it up little by little.

At this moment, the woman's empty eyes finally changed, and she seemed to have regained some of her brilliance, and his expression became particularly sacred, not only sacred, but Xu Bai also saw a trace of other emotions.

- Awe.

That's right, it's awe, and this awe is generated on the corpse in front of you.

"The corpse collectors believe that no matter what happened to the deceased during his lifetime, he is a corpse after death, and they maintain enough respect for the corpse." Ye Zi said softly: "This is also the reason why both good and evil will not bother them, because they are very ...... Very ......"

"Very" for a long time, Ye Zi couldn't find an adjective to describe the scene at this moment.

"Pure." Xu Bai looked at the solemnity and awe on the woman's face, did not disturb her to sort out her broken heart, and said, "It's just to bury the corpse." ”

Ye Zi nodded vigorously, it seemed that Xu Bai's words had gone to her heart.

Even if the woman went crazy, she still did not forget her responsibility, and the bloody heart in her hand was no longer terrifying, and it was gradually put together.

There were no threads or needles, but the corpse collectors had their own unique means, and the broken heart did not need to be stitched together, but it actually glued together on its own, including some broken flesh.

The woman held the heart as if she were holding a sacred object, and slowly lowered it into the corpse's chest.

Including those broken flesh and blood, she carefully sorted them out.

Then, suddenly, the woman covered her head and let out a terrible scream.

Xu Bai was stunned, this scene was beyond his cognition.

He tried to urge the true yuan force, and under careful induction, his face changed greatly: "It's not good, she is recovering her memory!" ”

A woman who has disturbed her own soul is recovering, and if this statement is released, you may be surprised to hear it.

Xu Bai can't explain it, just like some vegetative people who have been in a coma for many years, there will always be examples of waking up, all of which are unexplainable.

"Maybe it's because of the rearrangement of a corpse." He thought.

But now is not the time for recovery.

The reason why Xu Bai can't say it well is because once he recovers, that kind of pain will inevitably hit like a mountain and a sea.

This is not physical suffering, but mental suffering.

What does a woman care about most?

Needless to say.

Now, will a woman be able to withstand such a blow?

Xu Bai wanted to stop it, but in the end he stopped.

"Maybe it's her own idea, no matter what, I don't have the right to interfere with her recovering her memory."

The woman's screams were one after another, rolling on the ground with her head in her hands, her soul was recovering little by little, Xu Bai was proficient in this way, although the level was not high, but he knew that it was a miracle.

Like the miracle of the regaining consciousness of a vegetative person in a previous life.

After about a pillar of incense, the woman looked up to the sky, and there was endless pain in her eyes.

She didn't scream, but the pain in her eyes didn't diminish in the slightest.

Xu Bai thought about it, walked over slowly, and stretched out his hand to the woman.

The woman turned her gaze, tears flowed from her scarred face, and finally reached out her hand, grabbed Xu Bai's palm, and got up from the ground with difficulty.

The next moment, the woman fell on Xu Bai's shoulder and cried loudly.

Tears fell silently, crying so loudly that the whole yard heard it.

Some officials walked in from outside, but they were stopped by a look from Yingzhou Ling, so they hurriedly retreated.

Xu Bai pressed the woman's shoulder and didn't say a word.

can still cry, proving that there is no germination of the will to die.

He was still thinking about whether to stop it if a woman wanted to commit suicide, but now it seems that he has thought too much.

This woman is stronger than he imagined, and crying is just a vent.

Gradually, the crying became quieter.

The woman let go of her hand and raised her head, her eyes slightly bright.

"They're all dead, I'll kill them." Xu Bai had never had this kind of scene, so he didn't know how to speak, so he could only say according to his pattern: "That old man, you killed it with a knife." ”

"Thank you." The woman nodded, her expression dark, but her tone was very calm.

Although Xu Bai has never encountered this kind of scene, he is not a person with a bag in his head, so it is impossible to ask something that should not be asked at this time.

For example, if you're fine, or you've survived, these words are just revealing people's scars.

He didn't speak, and neither did the others, because there really wasn't much to say now, and everyone knew that the suffering that this woman had suffered was earth-shattering.

If it is replaced by any person, it may not be able to carry it, let alone the blood of this corpse collector.

The woman seemed to know what everyone was thinking, and said, "I've seen it all, you helped me kill them, thank you, I also know what you're looking for, although I'm crazy, but I can remember everything after I met you,

You're strange, your background makes me feel terrified, but there's a reassuring feeling, even if I'm confused, I'm still awake at that time,

It's just that there was a lack of an opportunity at that time, and that opportunity was when I picked up the art of collecting corpses again, and now the opportunity has been achieved. ”

In and out of the words, it is full of language that everyone does not understand, but in summary, it is a simple expression.

She was able to come to her senses, completely because of Xu Bai, and when she came into contact with Xu Bai, she was actually sober, and she could see the rest of it, but there was still an opportunity left, and the opportunity was now.

As for why these things happened and why there was this opportunity, even this woman couldn't understand it, let alone other people.

Xu Bai: "?_?"

Even these professionals can't understand it, how can he understand it?

All in all, it should be the credit of Xiaojin.

The woman only explained briefly, and then changed back to the subject: "I was arranged by you in the house, and when I heard the movement, I found that the man came to get the book, so I looked outside, and the man looked at me, and was very frightened, so he ran out directly." ”

When Xu Bai heard this, he thought about it in his heart, and he already had a reason.

The man who died should be the Gu God Sect, combined with the previous fight with Miao Zheng, the corpse collector seems to be the Tianke Gu God Sect.

In this way, it is normal to be afraid.

"So you know which book he took?" Xu Bai asked.

The woman nodded vigorously and said, "I know, that book is called Lingyun Prefecture Poetry Collection." ”

"A collection of poems?" Xu Bai repeated.

In these years, all the people who read must be rich and rich, and there will be many readers born in every place, and they love to sing poetry, so it is normal to have a collection of poems.

"I remember, this poetry collection is a specialty of Lingyun Prefecture, and when the previous one left, he didn't take it with him." Win the state order.

Xu Bai always felt that something was wrong, and secretly glanced at Yingzhou Ling.

But now that the clues are there, just look for it, the poetry collection is a specialty of Lingyun Zhou, in this case, it should be found everywhere here, but I don't know if there is any difference with the destroyed.

"I'll immediately send someone to find a book of poetry." Win the state order.

Xu Bai shook his head and said, "You don't need an adult to find it, in case there are still people from the Gu God Sect who want to make a hindrance from it, the adult is a big help, no flower, you can find a copy." ”

Wuhua was slightly stunned when she heard this, but she quickly reacted, and after secretly exchanging glances with Xu Bai, she agreed to come down and went out directly.

After a while, Wuhua came back from outside, carrying a thick book in his hand, and handed it to Xu Bai, saying that it was something that could be bought everywhere in Lingyun Prefecture.

Xu Bai picked up the book and looked through it casually, it was all poems and songs, but he looked big for a while, and he couldn't see anything.

"If there's something about the reader that needs to be unraveled, I have some solutions, so why don't I study it." Win the state order.

Xu Bai nodded and said, "I really look at this thing, and after Lord Win studies it, tell me." ”

Yingzhou Ling snorted, and was about to agree, when he suddenly reacted and asked, "Isn't Lord Xu together?" ”

Xu Bai turned his head and said, "No, I really can't see it, just tell me after Lord Win studies it." ”

"Okay."

Seeing that Xu Bai insisted on this, the winning state order was not reluctant.

Since there is nothing to do for the time being, this place will be handed over to Yingzhou Ling to take care of the aftermath, and Xu Bai and the others went back to their respective rooms.

After the woman returned to normal, she did not stay.

However, before returning to the room, Wuhua and Miao Xiao walked to Xu Bai's house.

Ye Zi still felt a little puzzled, and he didn't know why.

But when he saw that his son-in-law didn't say anything, he naturally didn't ask more.

"Master Xu, be careful that the wall has ears." Wuhua whispered and handed over a book of poems.

Bought two poetry books?

Pitchers have ears?

Seeing this scene, Ye Zi finally understood what they were doing.

Obviously, this is not at ease with the winning state order.

Only Miao Xiao looked confused......

Who am I?

Where am I?

Why are these two people talking about each other?

Xu Bai ignored Miao Xiao's expression, came to the table, poured the tea on the table, and slowly wrote.

"I just felt that something was wrong, even if he was busy with official business and didn't have time to read, but for a reader, he would definitely pay attention to the poetry collection, but he didn't see that the poetry collection was gone."

"This made me suspicious, and then I remembered what happened today, obviously so many people were poisoned, but he didn't tell us, he ran out to check first."

"Can I doubt that he is afraid to stay here, in case something happens, I tell him not to move, and then no one will steal the book naturally."

A series of words were written on the table by Xu Bai, and after everyone saw it clearly, he waved his sleeves, and the water in front of him was scattered.

Ye Zi dipped in water and wrote: "According to the child's opinion, we also have to study it to see if we can study it?" ”

Xu Bai shook his head and continued: "No, I don't have the time to look for clues, just to find an item that can calculate things. ”

He is not a person who specializes in solving puzzles, let alone a reader, how can he easily find clues?

But it doesn't matter, he has skills.

A golden light appeared on Xu Bai's fingers.

The next moment, the golden compass appeared in mid-air, and with Xu Bai's inducement, he began to measure it with the poetry collection in front of him.

The pointer began to rotate wildly, proving that it did matter, but it did not rotate very often and did not stabilize for a long time.

After a while, Xu Bai didn't continue to calculate, because there were too few clues to calculate.

In fact, it's very simple, after all, this poetry collection is bought casually, and it is rare to be able to calculate that it has a relationship.

But it doesn't matter, Xu Bai counted it again, this time he was guided by the winning state order.

The pointer turned again, and after a long time, it finally stopped, and the direction it pointed to was the direction of the room of the Winning State Order.

That's what he thinks, first use a collection of poems to see if he can figure it out, and if he can calculate it, it's the best.

If you can't figure it out, then change to the second method.

Now it seems that it really can't be calculated.

Then use the second method, which is directly calculated as winning the state order.

And the result is very obvious, he calculated it, and it is indeed related to the winning state order.

Wuhua watched beside him, and saw the signs, he dipped a little water, and wrote on the table, "We will plan and see what plan he can use?" ”

The corners of Xu Bai's mouth rose, and he wrote: "What kind of plan, go and him directly!" ”

What are you kidding, how can this situation be calculated?

The other party is nothing more than two answers, the first one tells them that if they don't study it, then everything will be over.

The second is to give them a wrong direction, which is wrong in the first place, and no matter how much he calculates, it is wrong.

Like this, if you know that the other party has a problem, you can just catch it, and you don't need a reason at all.

However, this person is a state order, and they still have to solve it as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai called them over and assigned their respective tasks.

Miao Xiao was the most blind, but when she heard that she had her own task, she came over with an excited face.

……

On the other side, Yingzhou Ling's face was full of iron, sitting on a chair, looking at the collection of poems in front of him.

"Bastards, this group of people is really bastards, they dare to do it to those people!"

"What else did you say to let me help them, I have helped to this extent, but I almost let these people die, and I won't be able to run away when the time comes!"

"But what should I do next?"

"Those bastards of the Gu God Sect are so crazy, it's a pity, if it weren't for worrying that Xu Bai would find clues, I would have been able to continue to study that book."

Yingzhou Ling roared in his heart, and it took a while to calm down.

He looked at the book of poems in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself.

"Fortunately, except for my oldest book, which is a collection of poems, I can't find any clues, I just need to do it at random, and say that I haven't researched it."

"But I still have to pay attention, that guy Xu Bai is not a vegetarian."

Thinking of this, Yingzhou Ling pondered in his heart what excuse would be best for tomorrow.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his train of thought.

"Who?" Yingzhou Ling put down the book in his hand.

Xu Bai's voice came from outside the door.

"Lord Win, I have found something here, you open the door quickly, we may have to leave tomorrow, now I will discuss it with you first."

Win the state was stunned for a moment, and found out?

Impossible!

How could it be discovered?

He was a little confused, but he asked if he came to the door, and he stepped forward and opened the door.

"Lord Xu, please come in."

Xu Bai smiled and walked in.

Ye Zi and the others followed behind and also entered the house.

Yingzhou Ling closed the door, turned around and was about to speak, but a black knife came at him.
