MTL - I Have Unparalleled Comprehension-Chapter 181 Return of the Dean (8000)
Chapter 181 Return of the Dean (8000)
The light is dazzling, and the red light shines through the scroll, turning the whole room into a bright red. This kind of red has a **** color, which makes people unconsciously feel a sense of horror.
Xu Bai was the first to react. He pulled out his waist and slashed across it.
The light flashed, the scroll was split in two, and fell to the ground. The dagger inside rolled out with a grunt, and was also split into two parts.
The red pattern on the dagger is gradually dimming, gradually disappearing into nothingness.
The moment the red light appeared just now, Xu Bai felt an inexplicable danger, which made him pull out the Bairi.
"Not good!" Liu Xu stood up suddenly, and turned to look outside the room.
At this time, along with the roaring sound, there were small footsteps outside the room, and the sound of footsteps gradually amplified, and soon there were voices of discussion, noisy and irritable.
"Go out and have a look." Xu Bai put away his hair, raised his eyebrows, and stepped out of the room first.
Yipin Puppet and Liu Xu followed behind, walking towards the direction of the sound.
The academies are very large, especially the Qingyun Academy, which is even more outrageously bold. There are so many scholars here that it took Xu Bai and the others some time to walk to the source of the sound.
At this time, hundreds of scholars were surrounding a square not far ahead.
Due to the large number of people, it was impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside.
It can only be heard from the outside world, and the voice of discussion keeps coming.
"Who did this? How unreasonable!"
"It's outrageous to dare to do such a thing in the sacred place of scholars!"
"This is the statue of the dean, how could there be such a vision?"
A burst of voices came out of it, some with panic, some with anger, and some with complexity.
"Why is the place of sages and sages so impolite, leave me alone, don't watch here!"
At this moment, dozens of middle-aged people in standard clothes walked by, and quickly dispersed the scholars in front of them.
After these people were dispersed, Xu Bai and Liu Xu saw what was going on inside.
In the center of the square stands a huge statue, made of stone, which looks like an old man.
The master craftsman who sculpted this statue is exquisite. The statue is lifelike and looks like a living person.
But at this moment, the statue has a different scene. There are dense cracks all over the statue, and in the cracks, there are black and red bloodstains emerging from them.
After these black and red blood stains appeared, they instantly turned into lumps, as if they could immediately dry up as soon as they met the air.
The dried blood stains gathered together and turned into an inexplicable pattern. The blood-red pattern brought a strange feeling to the statue, which was originally full of book atmosphere.
When Xu Bai saw these patterns, his heart skipped a beat for no reason. He always felt that the statue seemed to come alive and was looking at him with evil eyes.
"It's too wicked." Xu Bai thought to himself.
None of them left.
Liu Xu looked along the crowd, saw a familiar figure among the middle-aged people, and hurriedly shouted: "Teacher!"
While shouting, she walked over quickly.
Seeing this situation, Xu Bai also followed behind.
He is now very interested in the abnormality of the statue, especially the blood-red pattern that appears is similar to the pattern on the dagger. He feels that the two sides must be related.
Wang Qingfeng, who was looking at the statue, heard a familiar voice and turned his head, just in time to see Liu Xu walking towards him.
Wang Qingfeng was about to say a few words, but his eyes moved away from Liu Xu, and when he saw Xu Bai who was also walking towards him, his eyes froze slightly.
"Meet Lord Xu."
Wang Qingfeng bowed his hands and bowed slightly.
Seeing this situation, the other middle-aged scholars looked at each other one after another, imitating Wang Qingfeng's appearance, and bowed their hands to Xu Bai.
Now, Xu Bai is no longer a small Yin postmaster, but Xu Wangye. As long as people who are in the big Chu country see Xu Bai, they have to show courtesy.
Xu Bai waved his hands, put his hands behind his back, and said, "You don't need to be too polite, I just came here this time to meet Liu Xu. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. I wonder if you have noticed anything?"
Before Wang Qingfeng could answer, the corners of Liu Xu's eyes twitched slightly. She looked at the pretending Xu Bai, and couldn't help putting her hands on her forehead.
"Xu Bai, this is my teacher, Wang Qingfeng." Liu Xu introduced.
Xu Bai hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Qingfeng did not expect to speak first.
Wang Qingfeng glared at Liu Xu, and reprimanded: "Liu Xu, don't be rude, this is Xu Wangye from the Great Chu Kingdom, you are so rude, if it spreads, it will damage Qingyun Academy's reputation, not to mention You are still the Sizheng of Supervisor Tiansi, out of emotion and reason, you can't call Lord Xu by his full name."
Catkins: "..."
Suddenly, she felt that there seemed to be a huge gap between her and Xu Bai's identities. They used to get along as equals, but now seeing her teacher's cautious appearance, she finally remembered that today's Xu Bai is different from the past .
Xu Bai waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about these etiquettes on special occasions. By the way, Mr. Wang hasn't told this king yet. Have you found anything?"
He will talk about etiquette when it is time to talk about etiquette, but now is not the time for etiquette, so Xu Bai told them not to stick to etiquette.
Especially the statue in front of him is simply unbelievable.
It is impossible for the statue to crack inexplicably, let alone bleed out inexplicably, so there is only one possibility, and this is intentional.
This statue is the dean of the academy, if he dares to tamper with the statue of the dean of the academy, it is tantamount to declaring war with Qingyun Academy.
What kind of power is Qingyun Academy? They are all first-class in the Great Chu Kingdom. I don’t know how many officials have come from Qingyun Academy.
Being an enemy with Qing Yunshu is even more uncomfortable than being an enemy with other first-class forces.
"Who else can be." Wang Qingfeng smiled wryly: "Except for those scholars who have gone astray, no one will deliberately tamper here."
"This is the method of blood engraving, which was created by the dean's junior sister. It can engrave a scholar's life's hard work in it."
"Back then, the dean and his junior sister took diametrically opposite paths because of their different ideas."
"well…"
While speaking, Wang Qingfeng sighed, and there was a sense of helplessness and sadness in his tone.
"Oh?" Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Have you ever thought about whether the person who can approach this statue is in this academy?"
Suddenly hearing some old stories, of course, is something worth eating, but Xu Bai is really thinking about the statue in front of him now, especially thinking about the blood carving method that Wang Qingfeng said just now.
Being able to tamper with Qingyun Academy and leave these things in the statue, there is a high probability that it is in the academy.
Wang Qingfeng nodded, and said: "We think the same way, and we are going to investigate. Prince Xu is interested in this matter, how about together?"
They are not stupid, of course they have thought of this situation a long time ago, when they were about to investigate, they happened to meet Xu Bai, and this is how the current scene happened.
Xu Bai agreed.
The other party has already set their minds on him. If he doesn't take the initiative, he will make the other party feel easy to bully.
The most important point in walking the rivers and lakes is to be able to complain directly.
伱 Give me one knife, I will give you two knife, you cut off my hand, I will cut off all your limbs.
Seeing Xu Bai agreeing, Wang Qingfeng planned to lead the way ahead, but before he could take two steps, the statue in front of him appeared abnormal.
Those cracks were gradually expanding, but they were connected to each other in an instant, and countless stones fell from it.
In an instant, the statue turned into a pile of rubble, and where the statue originally existed, there was a scholar covered in blood standing inside with his eyes closed.
This scholar was covered in blood, even his clothes were soaked in blood red, and his face was covered in blood. Although his eyes were tightly closed, his chest was heaving violently, obviously he was a living person.
"Long Fu!"
Among the group of middle-aged people, a middle-aged man shouted with a sad face.
This scene appeared too quickly. As the middle-aged man yelled these two words, the scholar standing at the statue's position moved, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
The next moment, violent flames rose up and down the entire body of the scholar, and he was turned into ashes in the flames. However, two rays of light suddenly shot out from the position of the opened eyes.
The light was blood red, and it rushed straight at Xu Bai.
This scene happened so quickly that the people around did not react, especially Wang Qingfeng. Although he was very close to Xu Bai, the red light was too fast.
Xu Bai was always on guard. When the red light appeared, the true energy began to run crazily.
Gold and off-white appeared around, constantly intertwined with each other.
A chaotic atmosphere emerged from the gray and white, and quickly confused the surroundings.
Xu Bai simply pulled out the hundred cracks and slashed out.
Hundred cracks exploded in an instant, turning into hundreds of fragments, and crossed the trajectory in mid-air.
The fragments hung upside down like a galaxy, filled with chaos and despair, and in an instant, a tornado formed in front of Xu Bai.
Two blood-red rays of light entered into the tornado composed of fragments, and were gradually wiped away by the tornado composed of chaos.
When the blood-red light came to Xu Bai, it had disappeared without a trace.
"Boom!"
Xu Bai swung his knife lightly, and chaos and despair began to move.
Fragments rushed in, surrounding the middle-aged man who had just opened his mouth to shout. As long as Xu Bai gave an order, these fragments would all penetrate into the middle-aged man's body with confusion and despair.
This scene happened very quickly, from Xu Bai swinging the knife to this moment, it was only a moment.
The confusion made the scalps of the people present feel numb.
Especially the middle-aged scholar who was surrounded by shattered pieces, with cold sweat already appearing on his forehead.
"Do you know that person just now?" Xu Bai said lightly.
The middle-aged scholar did not speak, his face was still pale.
Wang Qingfeng said: "Prince Xu, that person is his student, and he is the most proud student."
"This king didn't ask you." Xu Bai's tone was still calm, but there was a murderous look.
"This guy is here for this king, and the force behind this guy is related to your Qingyun Academy. Can this king think that your Qingyun Academy may have colluded with this force?"
"In other words, even your academy can't bear the responsibility of murdering today's king with a different surname."
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
Wang Qingfeng's face also turned pale.
The reason is very simple, what Xu Bai said just now is not a problem.
Not only is there no problem, but it is also very correct.
The middle-aged scholar who was surrounded by debris finally came to his senses at this time, and said in a hurry.
"Prince Xu, this matter has nothing to do with Qingyun Academy, and I don't know what my disciple is..."
The words were not finished, because the next moment, a melodious music sounded.
The middle-aged scholar's face became dull, and he spoke the rest.
"I really don't know. It's the first time I've seen this kind of situation. My disciple told me a few days ago that he wanted to go home, but unexpectedly, he was always inside the statue."
"Control the soul?"
The middle-aged scholars around saw this scene, and their faces became strange.
How many abilities does Prince Xu have?
Xu Bai didn't care about this, he removed Bai Li again, and at the same time removed the power to control the soul, and inserted Bai Li back to his waist.
The next moment, Xu Bai, who was originally full of murderous looks, showed a smile, as if the cold winter had been melted by the sun. It made the people present feel that the young man in front of him was a very positive and sunny person.
The surrounding golden and off-white chaos disappeared.
"I see. It seems that I misunderstood you." Xu Bai smiled kindly. If it weren't for his previous performance, the people present would have misunderstood.
But no one pursued this misunderstanding.
Because Prince Xu is under attack here, that is a certainty.
Wang Qingfeng said: "Prince Xu, Qingyun Academy will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Even if we try our best, we must find out the people behind the scenes."
Xu Bai smiled and said: "Then I'm sorry, if there is any news, you can ask Liu Xu to inform the king."
Wang Qingfeng nodded and agreed.
Next, Xu Bai did not follow them, but asked Liu Xu to arrange a room for him.
But before leaving, he raised his right hand and performed Feng Shui calculations.
The next moment, a golden compass appeared. Unfortunately, no corresponding clues were found. The pointer on the compass kept erratic, but it didn't stop.
Either the opponent has a way to dodge, or the strength of the opponent is higher than the level of feng shui calculation.
However, since Wang Qingfeng said to thoroughly investigate to the end, Xu Bai just waited. He still has more important things than investigating these clues.
progress bar!
At the very beginning, I got the travel notes from Liu Xu, but I still have to keep it up. This is a good thing. Judging from the slow speed of the progress bar, it is definitely not a low-level skill.
Nothing is as important as the progress bar, and you can just continue to live while waiting.
Liu Xu reacted quickly, and took Xu Bai to find a room. After Xu Bai pushed the door and entered, Liu Xu also walked in.
Liu Xu who walked into the room seemed very silent, with complex expressions in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Xu Bai frowned and said, "What are you thinking about, so preoccupied?"
Liu Xu heard Xu Bai's words, came back to his senses, and smiled wryly: "I didn't expect that the gap between you and me is so big."
She really didn't expect that, maybe before, she didn't understand the concept of the three words Prince Xu.
But today, when she saw that her teachers were respectful to Xu Bai, she finally understood what this concept represented.
This concept represents the current status of the two people, which is really a world of difference.
Xu Bai laughed and said, "Could it be that you still want to give me one?"
Liu Xu spat softly: "You have a good idea, and I will work harder until I catch up with you."
As she spoke, Liu Xu seemed to be on a stimulant, she didn't say anything more to Xu Bai, turned around and left directly.
He was even so excited when he left that he didn't even close the door for him.
Xu Bai was quite helpless, so he could only go forward and close the door before returning to the chair.
He first thought about what happened today, and after there were no clues, he took out the travel notes he got earlier.
Seeing the slow progress of the golden progress bar above, Xu Bai could not help but sigh.
"It's still a familiar formula, and it's still a familiar taste."
It's been a long time since he encountered such a slow situation, and he couldn't help but think of the same feeling when he first got the progress bar.
This situation is like visiting a brothel, a brothel woman you are familiar with suddenly becomes a good girl, but you haven’t met for a long time.
But after a long time, you meet again on the street, and the other party even invites you to exercise.
This kind of freshness is extremely strong.
Xu Bai lay on a recline, watching the progress bar continuously increase.
Beside, a first-rank puppet stood by with a knife.
…
While Xu Baigan was progressing, Wang Qingfeng called all the teachers in the academy over and held a meeting.
The content of the meeting is very simple. It is to clean up the academy from top to bottom, and we must find out the clues.
After the meeting ended, the teachers followed Wang Qingfeng's method and began to clean up the college layer by layer.
One of the teachers was leaving quietly. He didn't look for any clues, but left Qingyun Academy directly, shuttled through various alleys, and after confirming that no one was following him, he came to a remote alley.
At the end of this remote alley, there is a secret house. The teacher came to the door of the house, looked around, and opened the door after making sure that there was no one there.
The door was opened, and a frightening blood-red light flashed inside. The door was quickly closed, and the blood-red light disappeared instantly.
It was dark in the house, and the windows were tightly closed. This kind of thick darkness is a little cautious.
The teacher looked around and said softly, "Are you there?"
After he finished speaking, a blood-red light suddenly lit up in the dark room, and the whole room was glowing red. In the corner of the room, a shadow with no face appeared suddenly.
"Zhuge Wen, what if you come to me at this time, if you are followed? Are you crazy?"
The hoarse voice came from the shadows, revealing an inexplicable strangeness, which made people feel trembling in their ears.
Zhuge Wen shivered, and said: "It's nothing, I have seen it when I came here, no one is following me, you can rest assured."
Shadow fell silent and did not speak.
Zhuge Wen seemed to wake up in an instant, and his voice became a little louder: "Why did you appear suddenly, and why did you attack Xu Bai? Do you know who he is now? If it arouses the wrath of the Great Chu Kingdom, we will do it!" If it’s not good, something big will happen.”
Shade twisted slightly when he heard the words, and as he twisted, the blood-red light around him became more intense.
"Is this something you should care about?"
Zhuge Wen's breathing was stagnant, and after a while, he said slowly: "If you don't say it, I won't help you."
"Are you threatening me?" Shadow said flatly.
Zhuge Wen nodded and said: "I know, I read your evil book, and I have a handle in your hands, but compared with my life, I can still live if I lose my reputation. If you don't tell me the purpose, I will never do anything for you again, and I will even expose you."
Shadow continued to be silent.
Zhuge Wen stopped talking. He was waiting for the answer from the shadow. Although he looked calm on the surface, cold sweat slowly fell from his brow.
After a long time, the shadow finally spoke again.
"Xu Bai deciphered Prime Minister Wen's Eternal Nobility Chapter, and it was a perfect decipherment. Do you know what this means?"
"He is definitely not a flawless person, let alone a righteous person. I know this better than anyone else, because I know him better than anyone else."
"Then there is only one answer. He has something more powerful than the Longevity Chapter in his heart, and this thing is exactly what we need."
Zhuge Wen frowned and said, "What?"
"Things that can change our situation." Shadow said slowly: "If he can knock out something more powerful than the Longevity Chapter in his hands, it may be able to change our situation,
I didn't intend to put him to death, I just wanted to plant a seed in his heart. The initial attack was just for this, but unexpectedly, he cracked it.
As long as the seeds are planted, I will be able to make the seeds take root and sprout, just like when you saw those so-called evil books for the first time, at that time, he will be one of us. "
Zhuge Wen took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
Shadow said: "Now, do you still want to expose my thoughts?"
Zhuge Wen shook his head: "I will always assist you until your plan succeeds."
Shadow waved his hand, meaning to tell him to leave quickly, and didn't talk to him any more.
Zhuge Wen turned around and was about to leave the room, approaching the door step by step.
Until he was about to approach, the next moment, the abnormality suddenly appeared.
The blood-red light around suddenly surged, and then turned into a boundless sharp blade, piercing Zhuge Wen.
Zhuge Wen turned his head hard, his face full of puzzlement, he was in pain, but his doubts were stronger than pain now.
"Why?"
"You have already started to resist, so I can't keep you. Don't worry, if I succeed, I will engrave your name in history." Shadow said slowly.
"And...you know what I really think."
The blood-red rays of light around him kept shaking, matching the shadows, making them look very strange.
The corner of Zhuge Wen's mouth was bleeding, and dense cracks appeared on his body: "I didn't expect that when you occupied this body, this body would become so vicious. My teacher, stop being obsessed with obsession. Why are you bothering... "
"Of course I know what you are thinking. You are not for us at all. You are occupying this body now, but you have not completely devoured the soul, just to find a more suitable body."
"After all, if you completely devour your soul, you will never be able to get out, and Xu Bai is a perfect body, am I right?"
"you…"
Before I finished speaking, there were more and more cracks on Zhuge Wen's body, and the cracks gradually shattered. With the shattering of the cracks, Zhuge Wen's culture was turned into ashes.
The shadow came out, and the surrounding red light was disappearing: "I have no choice, and if I do this, I can justifiably help you."
The door was opened, and the shadow walked towards the academy.
…
Time gradually passed, and several days had passed in the blink of an eye.
After this period of time, Xu Bai can be regarded as experiencing the prestige of the progress bar in the past.
Slow, really slow.
This feeling, as if I am used to fast in and fast out, but suddenly, it slows down again.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. This is what he is doing now, and that boring feeling has struck again.
Up to now, there is still a small part of the progress bar.
Xu Bai estimated that it would take a day or two to finish this travel note.
I have to say that this is indeed the masterpiece of the dean of the academy. From this we can see how terrifying the dean's strength is.
Over the past few days, Wang Qingfeng still hasn't found any news, but Xu Bai got a message from Wang Qingfeng.
Among their teachers, a teacher named Zhuge Wen disappeared, making this matter even more confusing.
Xu Bai used feng shui to calculate, but the result was that there were no clues, and it was still nothingness.
With this result, he was not anxious, but Wang Qingfeng and the others became more and more irritated.
Now it is obvious that the other party's target is Xu Bai. If this incident spreads out, Qingyun Academy's reputation will be damaged, and it is estimated that it will lose favor in front of the Emperor Chu.
But some things, the more impatient they are, the more difficult it is to achieve.
In such a dignified atmosphere, Wang Qingfeng seemed more and more uncomfortable.
In the room, Liu Xu chatted with Xu Bai without answering.
She originally wanted to leave, after all Xu Bai also came over.
She is Sizheng of Tianjian Division, and there are still many things to do.
But now such a thing happened, if she left suddenly, it would look a little bad.
According to Xu Bai's intention, Liu Xu can leave as soon as she wants. After all, Xu Bai is not an unreasonable person, and will not think Liu Xu is bad because she left suddenly.
But Liu Xu was stubborn and insisted on staying here, so she had to find out the truth.
After this period of time, Liu Xu was also frantically helping, but still got nothing.
"Alas..." Liu Xu sighed.
Seeing this scene, Xu Bai was overjoyed.
"I, the client, are not in a hurry, but you, an outsider, are very worried. If there is nothing to worry about, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge."
Liu Xu raised her head, her eyes were speechless, and she gave a blank look: "You can see it."
Xu Bai was cheerful and didn't speak.
How could he not be open to it? As long as there is progress, he can be open to it.
Now, if he was given dozens of progress bars like this, he would wish to stay here for a year or so.
Seeing Xu Bai's helpless look, Liu Xu rolled her eyes even more, and was about to say a few angry words.
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, there was a commotion outside.
"Um?"
Xu Bai sat up from a half-lying position, his ears moved slightly.
With their current strength, of course they can distinguish in detail, and he extracted important information from these voices.
After hearing the most important information, Xu Bai handed the book in his hand to the first-rank puppet, and walked towards the door.
Liu Xu also heard it, with joy on her face, and followed behind Xu Bai.
The two of them didn't stop, and after going out the door, they walked towards the largest courtyard of the academy.
…
At this time, in the largest courtyard of the academy, not only the scholars gathered, but even the teachers of the academy gathered in it.
The courtyard, which was originally quite large, now looks extremely crowded.
There was a very empty space in the yard, no one dared to step in even if the surrounding was crowded.
In that empty space, there was a white-haired old man in ordinary clothes.
Although the old man was dressed in ordinary clothes, he had white hair and a childlike face, bright eyes and ruddy cheeks.
Looks even more energetic than many young people.
His back was straightened, and a strong book breath emerged, surrounding the old man's body, so thick that even ordinary people could feel it.
Beside the old man, there is a young man lying on a stretcher.
The young man looks handsome, wearing a white robe, but at the moment he is in a sickly state, his face is as pale as paper, but his eyes are very energetic, and he is looking around.
The appearance of the old man caused a sensation, but the scholars around him left a lot of space and dared not step forward.
Xu Bai and Liu Xu also arrived, but there are too many scholars now, and it is impossible to squeeze in for a while.
From the gap in the crowd, the old man Liu Xu saw whispered in Xu Bai's ear, "It's the dean."
Dean?
Just these two words are enough to cause a sensation in the entire Nanhua Road.
Xu Bai came here this time because he was originally invited by the dean. This existence who can be compared with Eunuch Wei is a supreme master.
To be honest, Xu Bai also wanted to meet, after all, he had been fascinated by this person for a long time.
My strong kidney harvesting technique was obtained from the dean.
There were too many people around, Xu Bai thought for a while, and was about to speak loudly, using his own identity to let the group of people in front of him get out of the way.
Unexpectedly, the dean spotted Xu Bai first and waved his hand.
While waving the sleeve robe, an aura of grandeur burst out vigorously, and the scholars present couldn't help taking a step back, and a wide road was opened alive.
At the end of the road is Xu Bai.
"Prince Xu, please come here." The dean said softly, but the voice spread throughout the academy.
There was no emotional ups and downs in the voice, and it was full of peace. Just the voice of speaking made Xu Bai feel a sense of peace.
But when Xu Bai's eyes moved to the young man lying on the ground, his calmness was instantly broken.
—Clouds from the sea!
