Chapter 101 Xu Bai: Basic operations, all seated
After Xu Bai finished speaking, Yun Zihai also took out a brush and book, and the two looked at each other, and then they walked out of the carriage.
Outside the carriage, there was a boundless night. Because Xu Baiyun and Zihai were sitting in the carriage, they didn't know that the carriage was driving in a dense forest, and it just stopped, surrounded by towering trees.
Due to the occlusion of the leaves, the moon shines sparsely, presenting a mottled light and shadow on the ground.
There is no one around, it is quiet, except for the chirping of insects and birds from time to time, there is no other sound.
If someone passes by, the timid will even feel chills all over.
Apart from the quiet night and the occasional sounds around, in the pitch-black sky, abnormal things are constantly happening.
The weather at this time is very good. Although it is a little cold at night, wearing two layers of single clothes can keep you warm enough.
If the moon is rounder today, put two pots of old wine and a little side dish, it will be the best time to enjoy the moon.
Appreciating the moon is a common activity in the Great Chu State. Both elegant people and ordinary people like to admire the moon.
But in the sky at this moment, besides the bright moon, there are also yellow and orange things floating.
With the influence of gravity, these yellow-orange objects fell from a height and slowly fell to the ground.
The edges are rounded, there are holes in the middle, and the pieces of paper money are shocking.
Paper money is spread densely on the ground, but there are still paper money in the sky, falling with the wind.
This kind of thing happens for no reason, no matter where it is placed, it will feel wrong.
"Brother Xu, I once heard a folk story, and it is about this moment." Yun Zihai looked up at the sky, and slowly told all he knew.
To sum up, it is just one sentence.
When paper money falls from the sky, there must be a big disaster.
Paper money is used to pay homage to the dead, and it is the most widely used during the sacrifice.
There is money in the yang world, and there is paper money in the underworld, and the two do not conflict with each other.
In many cases, it is an inherent custom to pay homage to the deceased ancestors at a specific time and use paper money to show their respect.
But customs belong to customs. If you encounter this situation on weekdays, no matter how normal the custom is, it will become unreasonable horror.
According to legend, in an unknown county town, there was once a scholar who, after failing the exam, had been studying hard in his own yard, planning to continue to obtain fame in the coming year.
Just in time for the memorial ceremony, the scholar was more concerned about these rules, so he bought paper money and went to the wilderness to pay homage to the deceased ancestor.
On the way back, it happened to be raining heavily, and happened to come across an uninhabited temple, so the scholar took shelter in the temple.
Wait until the heavy rain gradually diminishes until it disappears before continuing on the way home.
Unexpectedly, the rain did not stop until midnight, and the scholar had no choice but to take advantage of the moonlight and rush home.
Seeing that he had walked half the distance, he didn't expect that when he passed a small road, something happened suddenly.
On this small road, pieces of paper money suddenly appeared one after another, densely packed, covering the entire road.
I didn't know what happened that day, but the scholar's body was found on that small road the next day.
Since then, there has been a legend that has been circulating among the people and has not faded away for a long time.
The road paved with paper money is the way to send wealth, and this so-called gift of money is the gift of Yin money.
Paper money can only be sent to those who need it through this road, and once a person walks this road, he will enter the world of the dead.
If you encounter this situation when you go home at night. You must turn your head immediately, find a shelter along the road you have walked, and wait until dawn before returning.
When a living person encounters a dark road, turn around and never look back.
…
Hearing Yun Zihai's narration, Xu Bai touched his chin thoughtfully.
The dense paper money all over the ground, combined with the gloomy trees on both sides, coupled with the light and shadow of the moonlight, gives people the feeling that apart from being cold, there is only creepiness.
"Turn around?" Xu Bai said.
Yun Zihai shook his head and said: "What I said is indeed a legend, and it has been circulated among the people for a long time, but this legend is well-founded and not groundless."
"That is to say, the scholar really encountered this situation and died?" Xu Bai asked.
The folk version is naturally different from the official version, and the official news must be more reliable. Now that he heard what Yun Zihai said, Xu Bai reckoned that there was indeed a strange occurrence, but it was not the so-called sinister way.
"That's the world in the mirror." Yun Zihai said cautiously: "After the mirror dead was born, the world in the mirror also appeared. The scholar that day walked along this road and finally entered the world in the mirror. In that place."
Xu Bai suddenly became interested: "That is to say, we are likely to encounter the strangeness of killing the government order?"
This did not make him expect that he would meet the Mirror Dead so soon. Originally, he thought that he would deal with it in Yunlai Mansion.
"Turning around has no effect. Once you start on this road, there is no way out. You can only keep going forward to see the essence of it." Yun Zihai said.
The two discussed for a while before getting off the carriage.
Liu Er was bewildered, and finally followed Xu Bai, drawing out the long knife at his waist at the same time, guarding against the dark surroundings.
He panicked, especially when he saw paper money all over the sky.
Xu Bai and Yun Zihai are veterans who have experienced many battles, while Liu Er is only a ninth-rank martial artist, and he has never encountered the situation before him, so it is normal to feel flustered.
As soon as he got down and stood on the paper money on the ground with his feet, Xu Bai felt different, as if he was stepping on a soft mud.
A gust of cold wind came, Xu Bai followed the road and looked forward.
At the end of the road, it was extremely dark and blurry, and the specific situation could not be seen clearly.
"Brother Yun, what method did he use to break into the mirror world and kill Weird?" Xu Bai asked while walking on the road.
Yun Zihai stared at the distance seriously, and when he heard Xu Bai's voice, he turned his head: "As far as I know, the mirror dead can only copy the strength of a person, but not the ability. A weapon that is good at attacking broke in directly, and used the weapon to kill the mirror dead."
"So that's how it is." Xu Bai suddenly said, "No wonder you are not in a hurry at all, it seems that you have something special."
Thinking about it this way, the loophole of the mirror dead is quite big.
Only strength can be copied, not ability, including so-called weapons, and various treasures, also cannot be copied.
"Yes." Yun Zihai said: "I guess that the government official who was killed was probably attacked by surprise, and...to say something bad, that government official may not have any treasures."
Before coming here, Yun Zihai already knew everything in Yinyi.
The government order of Yunlai Mansion itself climbed up from the bottom, and his birth is indeed not comparable to Qingyun Academy. The academy where the government order is located is also mediocre, or even poor, on Nanhua Road.
So and so, it is really possible to die at the hands of the mirror dead.
Xu Bai didn't speak any more, and focused on moving forward.
He has no baby.
But he has hard power.
Mirror dead man can copy human rank, but for him, this ability is useless.
He is at most an eighth-rank strength, let the mirror dead copy it away, and after that, he can only be rubbed on the ground with one hand.
The true energy brought by the method of strengthening the kidney is a full sixth rank.
There are so many fourth-level skills, just pick any one, it's not enough for him.
Actually, he is more curious about one thing than rubbing the mirror dead on the ground.
All of this is too coincidental.
Why on the way they came, they suddenly met the dead man in the mirror, and before that, the government order was also killed by the dead man in the mirror.
Xu Bai thought carefully, and always felt that there was a net coming towards them.
However, all of this can be put aside for the time being, and we can wait until the things in front of us are resolved.
The two walked faster and faster, and the paper money on the ground became thicker and thicker.
The only one who was nervous was Liu Er.
After all, this is the first time I have experienced these things. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.
The front of the road was dark, walking, suddenly, there was a light in the darkness.
Xu Bai drew out the ghost knife, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
As they got closer, the light became brighter and brighter. When they got closer, they realized that it was a huge mirror.
The mirror is three meters high and three meters wide, placed in the middle, it looks very abrupt.
The moonlight in the sky shone on the mirror, and the reflected light was slightly conspicuous.
But the thing in this mirror is very abnormal.
There are three people reflected in it, of course they are Xu Bai and the others, but in the mirror, the expressions of the three of them are different from their original expressions.
They in the mirror had weird smiles, that kind of smiles, as if mocking outside the mirror.
Xu Bai glanced at it, meaning how to get in?
"If you turn your back to the mirror, you can enter." Yun Zihai turned around, keeping his back turned, and said, "This was also discovered by the person who entered that day. It was a coincidence. As for the reason, I don't know." .”
As he said that, Yun Hai released countless words from his body, wrapping him up and down.
Xu Bai rubbed his chin, then turned around as well, the black light on his body covered him from top to bottom.
Liu Er: "..."
The two co-authors have ways to protect their backs, but we don't.
Of course, complaining about it, Liu Er still turned around, but put the long knife behind him as a protection.
He is not a fool either, he naturally knows that it is more dangerous to stay outside alone, he might as well go in with him, besides, he is determined to become Xu Bai's henchman.
Xu Bai backed away with his back facing, when he touched the mirror, he felt something wrapped behind him, and there was a faint suction.
He didn't resist, and fell into it along with the suction.
Clouds and mist-like things appeared in front of my eyes, blocking the line of sight, and I didn't feel any sense of loss under my feet, and I was still stepping on the flat ground.
When the clouds cleared, Xu Bai found that he was still in the dark woods.
Soon, Yun Zihai and Liu Er also walked in, looking at the darkness around them just like Xu Bai.
"This is already a world in the mirror. What we have to do is to draw it out. As for how to draw it out, it is to directly destroy it." Yun Zihai said familiarly.
"Every mirror world is only in the place where the mirror shines. The mirror just now is very big, but it is only limited to that piece of woods."
In the mirror world, each piece is connected to each other, but if it exists alone, it is only in the illuminated position.
and destroying is the simplest and most direct method.
Yun Zihai patiently explained.
Otherwise, how can we say that they come from famous masters? Qingyun Academy's teaching in this area is still very perfect, at least it has given them a lot of knowledge.
If the government order of Yunlai Mansion had these things, they wouldn't have died tragically there.
"I'm familiar with this." Xu Bai smiled while holding the ghost knife.
As soon as the words fell, Xu Bai reached into the money bag, and he threw out a handful of copper coins, with black light wrapped around them.
Copper coins are like rain, airtight.
The copper coins blessed by the black light no longer have the characteristics of hidden weapons, and each one is full of power, sweeping across the forest in front, leaving only a piece of wreckage.
"Brother Xu, your maple leaves are like rain, and they are much taller than those of the Yun family." When Yun Zihai was driven out, he was still a member of the Yun family. , I have already forgotten this unique skill.
Seeing Xu Bai make a move, he did not fall behind.
Words soared into the air one by one, and swept towards the surroundings. In an instant, the forest was at a speed visible to the naked eye. being constantly destroyed.
Liu Er: "It's another day of hugging your thighs."
He is a ninth-rank martial artist and has no destructive power, so he can only cut trees in close combat, but now it seems that he is not needed at all.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area was deserted.
At this time, Xu Bai also noticed the difference around him.
Logically speaking, after the forest is destroyed, it should become wider, but the world in the mirror is different. There are invisible mirrors around them, shining them in it.
At this moment, Xu Bai felt something was wrong.
His strength is constantly weakening, and in a blink of an eye, it has been weakened by half.
"The characteristics of the dead are more like a rule." Xu Bai secretly said.
Thinking of this, changes occurred around.
In front of Xu Bai, at the end of the road, a figure was approaching them.
A dark wind was blowing around, and with the sound of this figure's approaching footsteps, the dark wind was getting bigger and bigger.
When Xu Bai saw the dead man, the corners of Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly.
He turned his head, stared at Yun Zihai, and said, "You haven't told me about this characteristic."
"Brother Xu, this is the first time I've seen it. Maybe after so many years, it has evolved." Yun Zihai's head was full of black lines.
Not far away, this figure gradually became clear, and then revealed its true face.
Three heads, six arms, and six legs.
The three heads are Xu Bai, Yun Zihai, and Liu Er, but each head has a smile, and that kind of smile makes people feel permeable.
Mirror dead man seems to be three people merged into one, it becomes weird.
"Brother Xu, I'll kill it with a brush later." Yun Zihai raised the brush in his hand and said.
This writing brush is naturally obtained from Qingyun Academy. In Qingyun Academy, he can be regarded as the favored one who has received much attention. It is normal to get a treasure, just like catkins.
The situation of the mirror deceased is special, and Yun Zihai is still very clear about it.
The moment he entered the world in the mirror, his strength had already been weakened by half.
Now Xu Bai is probably in the same situation as him, so he can only deal with it with the brush in his hand.
"How do I feel, the mirror dead is stronger than you." Xu Bai touched his chin and said.
This sentence does not have the slightest derogatory meaning, but is stating a fact.
The mirror dead man in front of him is around the sixth rank, but he is much stronger than the ordinary sixth rank.
When Xu Bai said this, the mirror dead man changed again.
The head with the same appearance as Liu Er disappeared, and then, the strength of the dead man increased a bit.
"Is it merging?" Yun Zihai saw the signs and asked in surprise.
"It seems that you don't know much about the mirror dead." Xu Bai said: "Entering the mirror world together will make it stronger and continue to merge. This is not a good sign."
The more people come in, the stronger the strength. If a lot of people come in, wouldn't the mirror dead be able to grow infinitely?
However, judging from this meaning, it seems that integration takes time.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai took a step forward, using the method of strengthening the kidneys, the true energy of both kidneys poured back, and then, he was enveloped in black light, and hit the mirror dead.
The next moment, the mirror dead man turned into ashes all over the sky.
Yun Zihai: "..."
He lowered his head and looked at the brush in his hand, feeling very speechless and helpless.
"Honestly, Brother Xu, are you that kind of old monster who was reincarnated into an adult through a special method?"
Although this sentence was meant to be ridiculed, Yun Zihai really believed it a little while he was talking about it, and looked at Xu Bai with suspicion.
He knows that Xu Bai has means beyond the current rank, but now, entering this mirror world, Xu Bai's strength has been weakened by half, can he use that means beyond the rank?
Just now he held a positive attitude, thinking that it was impossible for Xu Bai to perform, but now it seems that he guessed wrong.
Weaken half of the strength, but still use methods beyond the current rank, and there is no weakness at all.
With such an ability, even Yun Zihai, a high-ranking disciple of Qingyun Academy, would be very envious.
Yun Zihai looked at the brush in his hand, and suddenly felt that it didn't smell good.
"The bodyguard master is mighty!" Liu Er flattered him.
Xu Bai coughed and said, "It's just a basic operation, don't be surprised."
Yun Zihai: ╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻"
If this can be called a basic operation, then in this world, there are really few people who can play this basic operation.
It's too uncomfortable.
When several people were chatting, as the mirror dead died, the surrounding scenery gradually changed.
Not far away, the mirror-like barrier began to crack, and then, it was densely covered like a spider web, and the surrounding area quickly turned into pieces and fell to the ground.
When the mirror fell to the ground, it shattered and everything around it disappeared, and they returned to the forest.
The paper money on the ground also disappeared. This time they really returned to reality, and they were no longer in the mirror world.
"Brother Xu, let's go." Yun Zihai withdrew his chaotic thoughts and said, "The Mirror Dead is gone, and it will be a long, long time before it appears next time."
But before he finished his sentence, he saw Xu Bai bowed his head in thought, without speaking, as if he was thinking about something.
The surrounding area is very quiet, only the sound of clouds from the sea.
Liu Er stood aside respectfully, and did not disturb Xu Bai's thinking, appearing very sensible.
"Brother Xu, what's the matter?" Yun Zihai asked with some doubts.
Now that the mirror dead man has been dealt with, he can leave for Yunlai Mansion. He is a little confused, why Xu Bai is thinking about something here again.
Xu Bai slowly recovered from his contemplation, looked up at Yun Zihai, then swept his eyes to the surrounding woods, and said, "Don't you think this is a premeditated ambush?"
He has been thinking about this question just now, why coincidentally, on their way to Yunlai Mansion, they suddenly encountered a strange thing that killed Zeng Fuling.
It is normal to meet in Yunlai Mansion, but it is not normal to meet on the road, it is too coincidental, sometimes it is too coincidental, but it is a kind of problem.
The more coincidences, the more accidents.
"You mean to say that the weirdness was deliberately attracted by someone?" Yun Zihai was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "But the weirdness is unconscious, and no one can control it from the beginning to the end. How can he arrange it so delicately?" This way?"
It is weird and cruel, has an inexplicable hatred for the living, and has no consciousness of the living. It is completely chaotic and no one can control it.
If they really wanted to deal with them, how could they be arranged on this road precisely, Yun Zihai was a little puzzled.
"What if there are mirrors all around?" Xu Bai said: "You said before that the mirror dead come out of the mirrors to harm people, so if there are many mirrors arranged in one place, will the probability of triggering be higher? "
Yun Zihai was stunned, then turned his head suddenly, looked around, raised the brush in his hand, and wrote in the air.
One word after another, as he wrote, emerged in mid-air, and then rolled towards the surroundings, with the sound of howling wind.
In a blink of an eye, the surrounding trees collapsed, revealing the truth behind the woods.
A mirror with light on each side reflects a faint brilliance under the moonlight.
This road is full of mirrors, there are dozens of them, and each mirror is more than three meters high.
Because of the dense woods blocking the relationship, and not finding it in the carriage, they basically walked along this mirrored road along the way.
The matter has come to this point, and Yun Zihai finally understands why they met the mirror dead inexplicably.
"I think... we must continue to speed up the progress." Yun Zihai waved the brush and smashed all the mirrors, and then said.
There is no way to control the weirdness, but it is a bit tricky to increase the chance of the weirdness appearing and the probability of the place where it appears.
Judging from all known clues, it seems that there is already a net to catch them.
"Brother Yun, it seems that you have offended many people before." Xu Bai joked.
Yun Zihai got into the carriage first, and said: "If you want to prevent me from going to Yunlai Mansion, then I will take this mansion as a decision. I want to see who dares to break ground in my place."
Xu Bai also got into the carriage, sat in the corner of the carriage, stroking the pottery jar he had obtained in Yinyi earlier: "Liu Er, drive."
"yes!"
Liu Er sat in the carriage and drove the horse towards Yunlai Mansion.
The carriage speeded up, kicking up patches of dust and drifting away.
…
The next day.
Yunlaifu.
A carriage galloped by and arrived at the government office.
In front of the government office, there were two servants guarding the door. When they saw the carriage, they looked at each other, and then one of them stepped forward, ready to speak.
But before he could speak, Liu Er glared at him.
"The new government order is here, back away!"
This sentence was said so abruptly that the servants who rushed over were also taken aback, recalling the content of it again, and hurriedly backed away.
New government order?
The yamen servant was very respectful.
After all, he is working in the government office, who doesn't know?
It is said that this new magistrate is valued by His Majesty the Emperor and is the first magistrate to implement self-government.
This is terrible, the pioneers, they dare not offend them in the slightest.
But still very curious, a servant secretly raised his head and looked at it quietly.
Not long after, a man with the appearance of a scholar got out of the carriage, his face was pale, and when he got off the carriage, he coughed.
"I have seen the magistrate!" The government servants hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.
Yun Zihai waved his hand to get them up.
The servants became more and more curious.
This new lord looks very frail, and his bookish atmosphere becomes stronger with the addition of his frail body.
But judging people by their appearance is not a good thing these days, so everyone knows in their hearts that some people look gentle, but they are actually fierce inside.
The yamen servant thought he could bring the new lord in right away, but unexpectedly, the new lord turned around and shouted at the carriage.
"Brother Xu, I haven't seen you like clay pots so much on weekdays. I saw nothing good. If you like it, I will send you a lot of it."
Anyone else?
The two yamen servants were stunned.
Not long after, a handsome young man stepped out of the carriage holding a clay pot.
This young man is extremely handsome, with a ghost knife on his waist, and an inexplicable evil spirit on his body.
The two yamen servants shivered, not daring to look up at the young man.
Xu Bai hugged the clay pot, looked back and forth at the two yamen servants, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "As expected of Yunlai Mansion, the two yamen servants guarding the gate are all of high quality."
This government office is much smarter than the county government.
Just the two gatekeepers, both of whom have entered the ranks.
"Don't dare, adults are masters." A yamen servant rolled his eyes and said.
As for things in the official world, it is natural to pay attention to some skills, and this flattery is very smooth.
Liu Er's eyes widened, feeling the impact.
These days, you have to fight him for flattering?
Sure enough, every industry is highly competitive.
Look, even in the industry of flattery, you have to show some competitiveness, otherwise you don't know when others will take the lead.
Thinking about this, Liu Er hurriedly took a learning attitude and wrote down the scene just now.
Yun Zihai waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be too polite, just take me in and see how Master Wu is doing."
The yamen servants looked at each other, and knew that the new adult would have to do practical things as soon as he arrived, so he didn't dare to say more, so he quickly opened the door and brought Yun Zihai and others in.
The government office is much larger than the county office. When Xu Bai walked in, he saw not many people.
After the explanations by the government servants along the way, he realized that it wasn't just a magistrate who died in the government office this time.
Including the family members of the government order, and those who stayed in the government office on duty that night, all died.
This incident was quite a sensation, and it was also widely spread in Yunlai Mansion, and the common people knew it well.
Since they were all in carriages along the way, they didn't have time to watch the abnormalities of the people.
The yamen servant brought Yun Zihai to the cell of the government yamen, and said: "Here is where the corpses of that day are parked. Fortunately, the weather has turned cold, and we have also adopted a special method to preserve the corpses."
Ahead, there was a larger house with the door closed tightly, and when approaching the house, there was still a burst of cold breath.
Yun Zihai came to the door, and after pushing the door open, a voice came from inside the door.
"Didn't you say it? When I come to work every day, don't disturb me."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in this voice.
Xu Bai looked where the voice came from, and found that it was a young man in ordinary clothes, sitting in the center.
Around, there were more than a dozen corpses.
The whole body of the young man was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the cold breath was transmitted to the corpse along the hoarfrost, keeping the body at a relatively low temperature so that it would not rot and stink.
"My lord, this is an underworld." The yamen servant explained.
Xu Bai didn't understand what Yin Zuo was, but there was the word "仵 Zuo" behind it. Obviously, this was another special business.
Yun Zihai was very clear and didn't answer, walking towards the pile of corpses.
The young man heard that the yamen servant was calling for an adult, and knew what was going on, so he quickly stood up and saluted: "Zheng Jin, I have seen the magistrate."
Yun Zihai nodded, just about to say something.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Jin reacted quickly, took out a notebook from the satchel he was carrying, and handed it to Yun Zihai.
"My lord, this is the autopsy report made by my subordinate recently, please have a look at it."
When Yun Zihai saw what he wanted, he didn't say much, and took it in his hand.
"Go down first, I want to take another look."
"yes!"
Zheng Jin and the two yamen servants knew it well, said quickly, and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Zheng Jin glanced at Xu Bai, especially when he saw the ghost knife on Xu Bai's waist, he quickly turned his head away and left quickly.
Xu Bai winked at Liu Er.
Liu Er was very sensible, so he turned his head and left.
When everyone left, Xu Bai walked up to him and looked Yun Zihai up and down.
"Brother Yun, it seems that this matter is quite troublesome."
The corpses around were breathing cold air. When Xu Bai spoke, he closed the door.
After the door was closed, the light weakened slightly, making the room look very gloomy.
Yun Zihai came to a corpse, casually threw the autopsy report on it, and said, "The biggest trouble is that there are no clues."
With the aptitude of a scholar, I read the autopsy report in a short period of time, and felt dull after reading it.
It’s useless, it’s all ordinary records, except that it’s because of the mirror, there’s no other clues.
These are not the most important thing. The most important thing is that after Yun Zihai found out that he came to Yunlai Mansion, he encountered a very troublesome thing, and it was extremely difficult to deal with.
