Chapter 195: The Statue in the Ruins (8000)

Above the Sanjang River, there was a sudden distortion in mid-air, as if there was a high temperature burning.

The twisted air didn't last long, it only lasted for half a column of incense, and then slowly stopped.

But the surrounding soldiers and horses were scattered and did not come close to the twisted position.

Xu Bai looked at this scene, he felt that there was something above the Sanjing River, but there was nothing there.

It was a ruin, a ruin that had crept in, and only those of them in the line could feel it.

There is no one who comes first, and the three major forces have their own people.

No one knows how many people this ruin can hold.

But there is an extremely simple way, and that is to keep entering the people until they can no longer enter.

And for the sake of fairness, the men and horses of the three major forces all lined up in three columns and entered this ruin at the same time.

These people are all from weak to strong, and they go inside.

Xu Bai was at the front, and when he stepped into the void in front of him, he felt a change in front of him, and then appeared in an unfamiliar environment.

There is no dark environment around Xu Bai imagined, let alone an eerie environment, but it is full of soft light.

In the sky, the warm sunlight shines on the earth, dispelling the cold around it, and the body is warm.

Although there is an empty place, there is no sense of evil, as if it is an ordinary wilderness, Xu Bai looked around, and he found that he had come to a big mountain, and not far in front of him was a high mountain.

Looking up from here, the mountain is majestic and tall, with dense forests and grasses, and the vitality of the mountain is in full view.

The space behind him was distorted, and the soldiers who entered behind were gradually appearing, not only from the Great Chu Kingdom, but also from the Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarians.

After the people of the three major forces arrived, they were each boundary, and they were all vigilant against each other.

After all, in this kind of place, killing can happen at any time, and no one is unguarded.

That is, now that everyone is in equal strength, there will be no killing for the time being, otherwise it will affect the next chance, otherwise the fight would have already started.

Xu Bai looked back and found that the soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom and the Barbarian Clan were also looking at him.

This group of hostile forces did not hide the killing intent in their eyes at all, as if they wanted to kill Xu Bai here.

Xu Bai touched his face, and suddenly knew why it made this group of people angry at him.

He was now looking like Chu Yu, so the group of people in front of him probably had other ideas.

Sure enough, as soon as he thought of these people on the side of the Great Yue Kingdom, one of them stepped out and drew his weapon.

"Everyone, let's first work together to destroy the people of the Great Chu Kingdom and kill the princess of the Great Chu Kingdom, and at that time, we will definitely make the King of Shengyou grief-stricken."

"The brothers who died at the hands of the Shengyou King, I don't know how many, the corpses and the sea of blood can't be piled up, now is a good time to take revenge on him."

"What's more, let's destroy them first, one less competitor, and then how about we settle our own accounts?"

The general who spoke was equipped with a long knife at his waist, a pitch-black spear on his back, and the armor that shone with cold light, which made people feel cold on their backs when they looked at it.

The Nine Emperor Princes of the Great Yue Kingdom were killed by Chu Yu before, and now they finally got the opportunity, everyone is the same here, and he knows that Chu Yu is actually a minor in the military formation, not the main one.

Therefore, if the two forces unite, it will be easy to kill them here, and at that time, the King of Ascension will be heartbroken.

As for the revenge after that, I have said before that when you enter here, it doesn't matter if you live or die.

If you want to take revenge under this pretext, Da Yue will not be intimidated.

He had just explained the importance of the matter and explained the benefits, and he thought that the barbarians would agree.

Sure enough, when these words were spoken, the barbarian generals glanced at each other, and then they took out the weapons in their hands and surrounded all the soldiers of the Great Chu State.

At this moment, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, and at the same time, the strength of each other's military formations was also competing.

Only Xu Bai felt inexplicable, and after touching his chin, he suddenly said a sentence, which made everyone present stunned on the spot.

"What's going on here, you can't see it from the outside, can you?"

The Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarians, who were about to launch an attack, were obviously stunned when they heard this, and then, the general who spoke first replied, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"Of course you can't see it, what? Do you want to find a way to live for yourself, but are you afraid of losing face? Okay, you can strip naked and play with us all now, maybe you can find a way to live? ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarian tribe all laughed, and at the same time, many people, with inexplicable eagerness in their eyes, looked at Xu Bai.

They also know the atmosphere of the Great Chu State, that is, they would rather die in battle than be cowards, but now they also have a glimmer of hope, the prince of the Great Chu State will be able to play with them, and they will definitely be so comfortable that they will explode.

"Oh." Xu Bai just replied, then stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and a piece of human skin mask was wiped off by him and stuffed into his arms.

This thing will have to be returned when the time comes, and it will become his own according to his character, but it depends on the person, the thousand-faced female thief said, this is the most important inheritance treasure of the family, so don't make a good choice.

The armor on his body was slightly loose, and when Xu Bai was choosing at that time, it was also to cope with the next changes, such as now.

True Yuan Power continued to flow in his body, and soon, Xu Bai's body shape began to change, becoming his own body type.

This body shape just fits the armor, and it is also covered with the sun and moon robe, which is extremely comfortable to wear.

His face gradually changed, returning to his original form.

Everyone present gasped, and at the same time, they all took a step back.

The general who spoke at the beginning stumbled and said, "You are not Chu Yu, you are Xu Bai, you are the Blood Butcher Knife Maker!" ”

"Blood your mother!" Xu Bai scolded: "I originally wanted to leave you a small life, after all, here, you are still qualified to be cannon fodder and bait, but you have begun to provoke me, which has made you have no need to live." ”

He really thought so just now, after all, the ruins are full of unpredictable dangers, and leaving some people here can also be used as cannon fodder or bait.

Isn't there a saying that when you are chased by the beast, what you have to do is not to run faster than the beast, but to run faster than your companions, so that you have a chance of survival.

But the words that the other party began to say made Xu Bai feel that it was better for this group of scum to die.

"Array! Array! Fight with him! ”

No matter how you say it, they are all experienced people, and the people present were just stunned for a while, and then they quickly reacted, and they all set up military formations, wanting to fight to the death.

They can't use more people here, but the method of the military formation itself is maintained by numbers, and it is enough now.

Of course, this so-called enough is in their imagination, they think that the two forces together should be enough to fight Xu Bai, but then, they found that they were very wrong.

In normal times, it is nothing to make a small mistake, but to make a mistake here is equivalent to death.

Xu Bai raised his right hand slightly, raised his index finger and middle finger, and behind him, gold and gray and white slowly emerged, constantly intertwined.

A terrifying atmosphere of chaos to the extreme is gradually permeating, but in a moment, the surroundings have been surrounded by Xu Bai's terrifying chaos, and Xu Bai is the center of these chaos.

When this chaos appeared, everyone present was affected, and Xu Bai was targeting the Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarians.

They were the most affected by the chaos, and some of them were already feeling dizzy, and even had the idea of raising their weapons and killing their comrades.

"Formation, up!"

By now, Xu Bai had developed a terrifying killing intent, and there was no room for relaxation at all.

The generals of the Great Yue Kingdom shouted, and the military formations of both sides suddenly appeared, and with huge pressure, they swept towards Xu Bai.

thought that this move would at least make the other party have great pressure, but after the general inadvertently saw Xu Bai's eyes, the whole person became numb.

What a look that is!

Calm but full of murderous aura, as if under the owner of these eyes, they are just ants.

A deep sense of powerlessness came over me, and when it was superimposed on the chaos around me, it gradually magnified.

But the general didn't seem to be going to sit still, he drew the spear on his back and waited for the best moment.

When Xu Bai saw this scene, the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Are you waiting for the battle?" It's a pity that the gap in strength will never be made up for by you. ”

As he spoke, Xu Bai's already raised hand slowly swept from high to low.

Even if it was just in mid-air, the next moment, the people present felt a heavy murderous aura, which continued to permeate the field, making people breathless.

Xu Bai's voice was like a strange whisper, resounding throughout the audience: "Just right, try my new move with you." ”

The Three Uniques of Swords - Kill People!

This is the only move he can perform among the three sword masters, and he just used it to test his power.

Although on the surface, it was just a finger swipe out of thin air, but with this stroke, in the next second, Xu Bai's body was shrouded in an extremely powerful sword intent.

This sword intent was merging with the three swords, and in an instant, countless swords spread from his hands.

The sword suddenly bloomed after being diffused, like the stars in the sky, after the devastation of the years, it exploded in mid-air.

That kind of bright light made people unable to open their eyes, and a sharp pain spread on the soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarians.

This is a sharp pain in the whole body, as long as the body is still exposed outside the air, it has already been painful by Xu Bai's knife.

The light that could be compared to the sun was gradually dissipating, and when the light completely dissipated, the soldiers of the Great Chu Kingdom raised their heads and looked at the back of Xu Bai with his hands behind his back.

Not far ahead, the people of the Great Yue Kingdom and the barbarians also bowed their heads and looked at their bodies.

The sharp pain just now is still there, so painful that they can't even cry out, after all, when a person's pain reaches the limit, a similar mechanism will be created, and people can't cry out this pain.

There was a general of the Great Chu State, who pulled out the weapon on his waist and prepared to rush forward to fight.

In his opinion, Xu Bai's knife didn't seem to have any effect, so they couldn't just grab it.

But before he could rush up, he saw Xu Bai raise his right hand and shake it gently, which meant that he didn't need them to play, or even to get involved.

The general was puzzled in his heart, because the scene in front of him was too weird, and the sun-like light that broke out just now made him feel afraid.

But I never expected that when everything was dispersed, the two hostile forces were still alive and well.

"Smack!" Xu Bai snapped his fingers.

With the sound of snapping fingers, the next scene made the soldiers of the Great Chu State who were watching the battle all silently take a step back, and the look of horror in their eyes was obvious.

Ashed.

Whether it was the Great Yue Kingdom or the barbarians, the soldiers and generals who came in began to turn into ashes after this snap of their fingers.

The sky was full of their ashes, constantly floating in the sky, and soon drifting into the distance.

Not a single person was alive, not even a horse survived, it was just a single knife, and its destructive power was terrifying.

"Goodong!"

There was a cavalryman of the Great Chu State who swallowed saliva, obviously he had been shocked, and the sound of swallowing saliva seemed to be contagious, and it sounded one after another, and it became one.

In the eyes of this group of soldiers of the Great Chu State, Xu Bai's back looked extremely terrifying.

The chaos of gold and gray intertwined, as well as the group of people who had just turned into ashes, made them deeply feel that the legends on the rivers and lakes were not false, on the contrary, they underestimated Xu Bai's strength.

Horror, extreme horror!

The scene was silent, and it wasn't until Xu Bai set his eyes on them that a leading general walked out.

"What's your name?" Xu Bai asked.

The general was stunned, but still said his name: "I'm going downstairs to die, I've seen Prince Xu!" ”

Xu Bai nodded and said, "Do you want to be with this king?" ”

He remembered that the Ascending King had said last night that this group of soldiers had their own opportunities to find, and they might not necessarily be with him.

Lou Ming said: "We have to go to other places to see, and we won't be with Prince Xu." ”

He only said this sentence, and did not say the rest of the words, and when the King of the Ascending Shadow found him, he had a word with him.

"Xu Bai's life is unique, those of his friends can withstand it, you may not be able to bear it, it's not a good thing to be by his side."

As a figure in the army, he doesn't know what the mystery of the life grid is, but since the prince has said it, he naturally doesn't dare to follow.

In fact, if he had some brains and carefully calculated the friends around Xu Bai, then he would be able to clearly analyze that those people were terrifying fate.

Yun Zihai was born prematurely, but he was gifted and amazing.

The catkins can not be affected by the evil book, and even be taken by the dean's sister who created the evil book in the first place.

Without flowers, the hope of the whole Buddhism today is to be able to create a new Dharma.

Ye Zi, the apprentice of the Tianyin Master, is also a gifted person.

According to the Shengyou King, only these people dare to stay by Xu Bai's side and be friends with peace of mind, and if they change their lives, it is estimated that they will be gone a long time ago.

So they didn't dare to follow, it was better to find an opportunity on their own.

Xu Bai said: "Okay, in that case, I won't stop you, I'm going to go up this mountain to have a look." ”

He didn't need to care about the person in front of him, he was also happy to be at ease, and the mountain in front of him was the first thing he saw, so he became very interested.

"Then I won't bother Lord Xu next!" Lou Ming bowed down.

After getting Xu Bai's consent, he left directly with his men.

After these soldiers of the Great Chu State left, Xu Bai looked at the mountain in front of him.

This mountain peak is towering into the clouds, looking fairy-like, giving people a sense of high mountains and long waters, full of spiritual charm.

Just looking at it in the eyes, it is a decent scene, and it does not make people feel that this ruin is full of mysterious and unpredictable thoughts.

"Chanting God, cheats, I'm coming!" Xu Bai rubbed his hands, and with excitement, he stepped into the mountain road.

……

Walking on the mountain road, Xu Bai looked at the surrounding scenery while walking slowly, looking leisurely and elegant.

There is no hurry, even some small corners have to be carefully examined.

The purpose is to discover the progress bar.

Unfortunately, there is no progress bar on the way, and walking in the depths of this fairy-like mountain, the surrounding trees are dense, but there are no traces of birds and beasts.

But fortunately, nothing abnormal happened along the way, and it wasn't until after walking for nearly half an hour that Xu Bai stopped, looked at the scenery in front of him, and frowned slightly.

Not far ahead is a clearing, but above the clearing, there is a small Taoist temple.

The Tao looks like it has been around for some years, but it has not fallen into disrepair, but has left traces of time.

The doors of the temple were closed and unlocked, and the paint of the two gates peeled off a bit, adding a bit of antiquity.

Xu Bai did not rush forward, but cast his divine soul, and the next moment, his divine soul covered the Taoist temple in front of him.

Through the soul, I felt that in the Taoist temple, there was an old Taoist priest, holding the floating dust in his hand, sitting on the futon, silently reading the Taoist scriptures.

In front of the Taoist priest is a broken statue, not far from the statue there is a rectangular offering table, on which are placed three pillars of yellow incense, as well as some fruits and other items.

The smoke of the yellow incense was constantly swirling, accompanied by the silent recitation of the old Taoist priest, everything seemed unusually peaceful, and people unconsciously stepped into it.

Xu Bai withdrew his soul, and other than that, he didn't feel anything abnormal, but this was a ruin.

He guessed that the other party should not have turned into a god and maintained various living habits before his death, so he was quietly reciting the Taoist scriptures.

"Check it out."

Xu Bai made up his mind in his heart, raised his feet and walked towards the Taoist temple.

After coming to the gate of the Taoist temple, he knocked lightly on the door, and before anyone could come and open the door, the door was opened by the force of his knock.

The Taoist temple is very small, you can see the end at a glance, and behind the door is a small courtyard, and at the end of the courtyard is the main hall.

The old Taoist priest was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, and his back gave Xu Bai an unusually harmonious feeling.

Yellow incense, futon, old Taoist priests, Taoist scriptures, plus the surrounding smoke, it is like an ordinary Taoist temple.

Xu Bai touched his chin, and after thinking for a while, he raised his feet and walked over.

And as Xu Bai walked in, it seemed to disturb the old Taoist, who stopped chanting, slowly stood up, and turned around.

The crane has a childish face and a kind face, even if he is old, he does not have the slightest sense of terror, but has the meaning of a fairy wind.

The old Taoist priest walked out step by step, and Xu Bai realized that the old Taoist priest seemed to be lame and limping when he walked.

From that hall to Xu Bai's face, the old Taoist priest walked for a while, panting.

"This blessed lord, but you want to come to incense?" The old Taoist priest performed the etiquette of a Taoist temple.

Blessed Lord is the Taoist temple's name for ordinary pilgrims, and in this world, there are many kinds of titles.

There are also titles of "good fortune and longevity", and there are also titles of "good faith in the ten directions", and there are also "good people", "blessed lords", and "believers".

Generally familiar pilgrims know the surname, and they will add the surname when they are called, such as the pilgrim's surname "Wang", and the title of "Wang Shanren" and "Wang Xinren".

The "good people" and "believers" who give alms to the Taoist Taoist temple are honored as "meritorious masters", and the Taoist priests are called "lords of worship" when they invite meritorious and knowledgeable Taoist leaders to practice things, and the Taoist priests call them "lords of fasting".

But the blessed Lord is a name for those who believe.

Xu Bai smiled: "I don't believe in people, I just happened to pass by." ”

"When you enter my Taoist temple, you are all believers." The old Taoist priest said, "Please come with the poor Tao." ”

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" I'm just coming over and have a look. ”

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly, and the fairy wind bone, which made people can't help but feel a sense of affinity: "It's not early, the barren mountains and mountains, in this mountain, there are often wild beasts passing by, and the poor Taoist is worried that the blessed master will encounter danger, so it is better to rest in the Taoist temple for a night." ”

Every sentence was full of kindness, as if it was really to save Xu Bai from being attacked by wild beasts.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Bai nodded and said, "Since this is the case, thank you to the Taoist." ”

He didn't say why he came, he only said that he happened to be passing by, and now the old Taoist priest took the initiative to invite him, and he didn't refuse, just taking this opportunity to see what is wonderful about this Taoist temple.

"Please." The old Taoist priest raised his hand and led the way in front.

Xu Bai followed behind, looking around from time to time.

From the front to the backyard, he needed to pass through the main hall, and when he passed the main hall, he subconsciously glanced at the dilapidated statue, and then, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It looks like it's looking at me."

Xu Bai keenly felt that the statue seemed to glance at him, with a coldness in his eyes, which made his hair stand on end, but after looking closely, the statue returned to normal, and everything before seemed to be an illusion.

If it is an ordinary ordinary person, it may really be an illusion here, after all, it is smoky inside, and it is normal to see clearly.

But Xu Bai is not an ordinary person, he can see clearly, and he clearly feels that he was indeed stared at just now.

And that kind of cold and weird, completely different from the immortal aura here, produces a strong contrast, and highlights a trace of creepy horror.

Xu Bai did not break it directly, but continued to follow.

The old Taoist priest walked with a limp, and his speed of movement was very slow.

Xu Bai didn't urge, so he slowly followed.

After bypassing the front yard, there is the backyard, and there are several houses in the backyard, the houses are still dilapidated, but due to the frequent cleaning, the backyard, including the houses, does not look dirty.

"This Taoist temple is not small, the master is here alone, and there is no Taoist master to help?" Xu Bai asked casually.

The old Taoist priest who walked in front turned around and said, "The Taoist temple of the poor road is open in the mountains, and there are not many people on weekdays, so naturally there is not much money in this money, and I can't afford to raise a second mouth." ”

Xu Bai just nodded and did not continue to speak.

After a short time, the old Taoist priest took Xu Bai to one of the houses, gently pushed the door, and opened the door.

Inside the door, there is a simple and quaint room, and the furniture inside is still dilapidated, but in the eyes, there is a simple chic, which does not make people feel offended.

"The poor road will not be disturbed." The old Taoist priest said slowly: "At dinner time, the poor Taoist will come to call the blessed lord." ”

Xu Bai snorted, which was a promise.

He still remembered what the Ascension King had said, that he should communicate with them as much as he could before they became Nian Shen, so that he might be able to find out more treasures.

So up to now, Xu Bai is like a person who is really passing by, and he plays it vividly.

The old Taoist priest left, he saw that Xu Bai didn't have the heart to speak, so he didn't stay longer, and when he left, he closed the door by the way.

Xu Bai took a look at the clean and tidy seat, and after sitting on it, he took out the Divine Invitation Method given by the King of Ascension from his arms, and looked at it silently.

Since it hasn't started yet, let's move on to the liver progress bar.

……

Time passed, the sun gradually set, and between day and night, the sky was already a little dark.

In this dimly lit environment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

Xu Bai was on the liver progress bar, and after hearing the footsteps, he put down the book in his hand, raised his feet and walked to the door, opened a crack in the door, and looked at the backyard.

When the door was opened a crack, a yin wind blew immediately, giving Xu Bai goosebumps.

Through the crack in the door, Xu Bai saw that a beam of moonlight was shining in the courtyard outside, illuminating the courtyard in a miserable white.

The sound of intermittent footsteps came out, and the old Taoist priest limped, holding a large bag in his hand, and was slowly walking to the backyard.

The pockets were very large, and the old Taoist priest had difficulty walking, and it seemed very difficult, and there was a pair of shelves in the corner of the yard, and on the shelves, there were hooks made of wire.

The old Taoist priest opened his pocket, took out strips of bacon from it, and hung them on the wire.

The bacon is in the form of long strips and has been smoked to a pitch black.

The old Taoist priest's feet were lame, and it took a lot of effort for the boss to hang up all the bacon.

After doing all this, he leaned against the wall, gasping for breath, and after a long time, he slapped his head.

"When I'm old, I just don't use it, and I almost forgot to call the blessed lord to eat."

After speaking, the old Taoist priest turned around and walked towards Xu Bai's room, and before he turned around, Xu Bai had quietly closed the door.

Sitting back on the chair in the room, Xu Bai thought about the scene just now.

To be honest, except for the yin wind when the door was opened, there was nothing abnormal, and as for why there was meat in the Taoist temple, it was actually quite normal.

Taoist priests also want to eat meat.

There are many schools of Taoism, and some are even able to get married and have children, so this is not uncommon.

"But why do I always feel that the yin atmosphere in here, especially the statues in the main hall, really looked at me." Xu Bai thought.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the old Taoist priest came from outside the door.

"Blessed Lord, the meal is ready, please go out with me to eat."

Hearing this, Xu Bai put the cheats on the table into his arms, came to the door, and after opening the door, he nodded.

"I happened to be hungry."

The old Taoist priest didn't say much, turned around and limped in front to lead the way.

Xu Bai followed, and after a short time, he was taken to another room by the old Taoist priest.

After the old Taoist priest pushed the room open, he lit the oil lamp and placed it on the table.

The dim oil lamps flickered constantly, bringing with them the only glimmer of light, illuminating the dark room ruddy.

But as the oil lamp kept shaking, the shadows flickered, and it looked a little eerie.

There were several pairs of bowls on the table, as well as several plates, and in addition to some vegetarian dishes, there was also a meat dish.

"The Taoist temple is very small, and there are not many people on weekdays, so the food is relatively simple, please don't be surprised." The old Taoist priest turned his head and smiled apologetically.

At this moment, under the illumination of the oil lamp, the old Taoist's original feeling of immortal wind and Dao bones disappeared, with a trace of gloom.

Especially this smile, the light and shadow of the oil lamp are intertwined on the face, and the smile makes people's scalp tingle.

Xu Bai also smiled: "When you go out, it's good to be simple, don't care." ”

The old Taoist priest nodded again and again, limped to a position and sat down, and then beckoned to Xu Bai: "Blessed master, hurry up and eat, these dishes are not delicious when they are cold." ”

Xu Bai didn't say much, sat opposite the old Taoist priest, picked up the bowl on the table, and stirred it in the plate.

Vegetarian dishes are ordinary vegetarian dishes, and they look no different, but as Xu Bai stirred, he stirred out a trace of hair in one of the plates of green vegetables.

The hair is long and jet-black.

When eating, if you find a hair that can affect your mood.

Xu Bai pinched his hair and asked, "Why is there a hair in here?" ”

The old Taoist priest replied: "It may be that when the poor Taoist was cooking, he accidentally left it, and the blessed lord should not eat this dish." ”

Xu Bai said: "But the hair is as black as ink, and the hair of the Lord is like silver threads." ”

"There will always be one or two black hairs, and they won't be all white." The old Taoist's eyes stiffened slightly.

Xu Bai looked at the other party's white hair, and put Kuaizi in another dish.

This is the only meat dish, which is smoked bacon, but with some bones, more like pork ribs.

Under the light of the oil lamp, Xu Bai kept stirring it with a fast son, and soon stirred out a bone.

The bones were long, the joints were still connected, and there was a little minced flesh on them.

Xu Bai picked up the bone, stared at the old Taoist priest with fixed eyes, and said, "Master, can you tell me, is this a pig's tail bone or a human finger?" ”
