I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

  Chapter 197 Statue in the ruins (8000)

   Above the Sangeng River, there was a sudden distortion in midair, as if a high temperature was burning.

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

  But the surrounding soldiers and horses spread out and did not approach the distorted position.

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

   That is the relic, the relic has come quietly, and only those in the industry can feel it.

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

   No one knows how many people this ruin can hold.

  But there is an extremely simple method, which is to keep entering people until they can no longer enter.

  For the sake of fairness, the men and horses of the three major forces lined up in three rows and entered the ruins at the same time.

  These people are from weak to strong, and enter inside.

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

  There is no dark environment as Xu Bai imagined, let alone a gloomy environment, but it is full of soft light.

  In the sky, warm sunlight shone down on the earth, dispelling the surrounding cold, and warming the body.

  Although this place is empty, there is no sense of evil, just like an ordinary wilderness. Xu Bai looked around, and found that he had come to a big mountain, and there was a high mountain not far away.

  Looking up from here, the mountain is majestic and tall, towering into the clouds, with dense forests and grass, and full of vitality.

  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 men and horses of the three major forces arrived at the scene, they set their own boundaries and were vigilant against each other.

   After all, in this kind of place, killings can happen at any time, and no one is not on guard.

   That is to say, everyone's strength is equal now, and there will be no killings for the time being, otherwise it will affect the next opportunity, otherwise the fight has already started.

  Xu Bai looked back and found that the soldiers of the Dayue Kingdom and the barbarians 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 this group of people wanted to kill him.

  He looks like Chu Yu now, so the group of people in front of him probably have other ideas.

   Sure enough, just as he thought of these people from the side of Dayue, one of them came out and drew his weapon.

   "Everyone, let's work together to destroy the people of the Great Chu Kingdom and kill the princess of the Great Chu Kingdom. At that time, King Shengyou will definitely be devastated."

   "I don't know how many brothers died at the hands of King Shengyou. The mountain of 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 eliminate them first, and if there is one less competitor, how about we settle our own account?"

  The speaking general had a long knife on his waist and a pitch-black spear on his back. Coupled with that cold armor, it made people feel cold when they looked at it.

  The Ninth Prince of Dayue Kingdom was murdered by Chu Yu before, and now he finally got the chance. Everyone here is similar, and he knows that Chu Yu is actually a minor in the method of military formation, not the main one.

  So if the two forces join forces, they can easily kill him here. At that time, King Shengyou must be heartbroken.

   As for the subsequent revenge, I have also said before that entering here, life or death will be irrelevant.

   If they want to use this excuse to retaliate, the country of Dayue will not hesitate.

  Just now he has explained the importance of the matter one by one, and explained the benefits. He thought that the barbarians would agree.

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

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

  Only Xu Bai felt bewildered. After touching his chin, he suddenly said a word, which made everyone present stunned on the spot.

   "What happened here, you can't see it from the outside?"

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

   "Of course I can't see it, what's the matter? You want to find a way to survive, but are you afraid of losing face? Yes, you can take off your clothes and play with us all, maybe you can find a way to survive?"

  As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers of the Dayue Kingdom and the barbarians burst into laughter. At the same time, many people looked at Xu Bai with inexplicable eagerness in their eyes.

  They also know the ethos of the Great Chu Kingdom, they would rather die in battle than be cowards, but now they also have a glimmer of hope, the princess of the Great Chu Kingdom will definitely explode in comfort if they can play with them.

   "Oh." Xu Bai just responded lightly, and then stretched out his hand to wipe his face. He wiped off a human skin mask and stuffed it into his bosom.

This thing has to be returned when the time comes. Originally, according to his personality, it became his own, but it depends on the person. The female thief with thousands of faces said that this is the most important inheritance treasure of others, so don't seek it good.

  The armor on his body is a little loose. When Xu Bai was choosing it, it was also to cope with the next changes, such as now.

   True energy flowed continuously in the body, and soon, Xu Bai's body shape began to change, becoming his own body shape.

   This body shape just fits the armor, and there is also a sun and moon robe inside, which is extremely comfortable to wear.

  His face also gradually changed, returning to his original appearance.

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

   The general who spoke at the very beginning stammered: "You are not Chu Yu, you are Xu Bai, you are a blood butcher swordsman!"

"Blood your mother!" Xu Bai scolded: "I wanted to save you a little life, after all, here, you still have the qualifications to be cannon fodder and bait, but you started to provoke me, and you have already killed you." It is necessary to go down."

  He really thought so just now. After all, the ruins are full of unfathomable dangers. If some people are left here, they can be used as cannon fodder or bait.

   Isn’t there a saying that is good, when you are chased by a 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 surviving.

  But what the other party said at the beginning made Xu Bai feel that it would be better for these scumbags to die.

   "Array! Array! Fight him!"

   No matter what, they are all experienced people. The people present were only stunned for a while, and then quickly realized that they all displayed their military formations, wanting to fight to the death.

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

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

   Normally, making a small mistake is fine, but making a mistake here is tantamount to death.

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

  A terrifying atmosphere of chaos to the extreme is gradually permeating, and in just 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 Dayue Kingdom and the barbarians.

  They were the most affected by the chaos. Some of them were weak and felt dizzy, and even had the idea of ​​raising their weapons and killing their companions.

   "Army formation, rise up!"

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

  The general of the Dayue Kingdom shouted, and the military formations of both sides suddenly appeared, sweeping towards Xu Bai with enormous pressure.

  I thought this move would at least put a lot of pressure on the opponent, but after the general accidentally saw Xu Bai's eyes, his whole body became numb.

   What kind of look is that!

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

  A deep sense of powerlessness emerged in my heart, and when superimposed with the surrounding chaos, that sense of powerlessness gradually amplified.

   But the general didn't seem to intend to sit still. He pulled out the spear on his back and was waiting for the best opportunity.

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

   As he spoke, Xu Bai's hand, which was already raised, slowly moved across from high to low.

  Even though it was just passing through the air, the next moment, the people present felt a heavy murderous aura, which was constantly permeating the field, making it hard to breathe.

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

  Three unique swords - beheading!

   This is the only move he can use among the three swords and swords, and he just uses it to test its power.

  Although on the surface it was just a swipe of a finger out of thin air, following this swipe, in the next second, Xu Bai was enveloped by an extremely powerful saber intent.

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

  The blade glowed and then bloomed suddenly, like stars in the sky, after years of devastation, they exploded in mid-air.

  The bright light made people unable to open their eyes, and a sharp pain was spreading to the soldiers of the Dayue Kingdom and the barbarians.

   This is a severe pain in the whole body and mind. As long as the body is still exposed to the air, it has already suffered the pain of Xu Bai's knife.

  The light that can rival the sun is gradually dissipating. After the light has completely disappeared, the soldiers of the Great Chu State raised their heads and looked at the back of Xu Bai with his hands behind his back.

  Not far ahead, the people of Dayue Kingdom and the barbarians also lowered their heads and looked at their own bodies.

  The severe pain just now still exists, so painful that they can't even shout out. After all, when a person's pain reaches the limit, a similar mechanism will occur, making people unable to shout out this pain.

   There was a general of the Great Chu State who drew out the weapon at his waist, ready to rush forward to fight.

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

   But before he rushed up, he saw Xu Bai raised his right hand and shook it lightly, which meant that they didn't need to play, or even participate in it.

  The general was puzzled, because the scene in front of him was too weird, and the sun-like light that erupted just now made him feel scared.

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

   "Crack!" Xu Bai snapped his fingers.

  Accompanied by the sound of snapping fingers, the following scene made all the soldiers of the Great Chu Kingdom who watched the battle take a step back silently, and the look of fear in their eyes was obvious.

   turned to ashes.

  Whether it was the Great Viet Kingdom or the barbarians, the soldiers and generals they came in began to turn into ashes after the sound of their fingers came out.

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

   No one survived, not even a horse survived, just one knife, its destructive power is terrifying.

   "Gudong!"

  A large Chu cavalryman swallowed his saliva, obviously he was shocked, the sound of swallowing saliva seemed to be contagious, and it sounded one after another, forming a sound.

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

  The golden and gray-white chaos, as well as the group of people who were turned into ashes just now, made them deeply feel that the legends in the Jianghu are not fake, on the contrary, they underestimated Xu Bai's strength.

   Scary, extremely scary!

  The scene was completely silent, until Xu Bai cast his gaze on them, only then did a leading general come out.

   "What's your name?" Xu Bai asked.

  The general was taken aback for a moment, but he still said his name: "I'm going downstairs, I met Lord Xu!"

  Xu Bai nodded and said, "Are you going to be with me?"

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

  Lou Ming said: "We're going to visit other places, we won't be with Prince Xu."

  He only said this sentence, and did not say the following words. When King Rishengyou found him, he said a word to him.

   "Xu Bai's fate is unique. His friends' fate can bear it, but you may not be able to bear it. It is not a good thing to be by his side."

  As a character in the army, he doesn't know what is so mysterious about fate, but since the prince has said it, he naturally dare not follow.

  In fact, if he has some brains and carefully calculates the friends around Xu Bai, then he can clearly analyze that those people have terrible fates.

  Yun Zihai was born prematurely, but he was gifted with amazing talents.

  Liu Xu was immune to the influence of the evil book, and was even taken by the dean's junior sister who created the evil book.

  Wuhua, the hope of the entire Buddhist sect now is to create a new Dharma.

  Ye Zi, an apprentice of Master Tianyin, is also a person with extraordinary talents.

  According to King Shengyou, only these people dare to stay by Xu Bai's side and be friends with peace of mind. If they change their lives, they probably will be gone long ago.

  So they didn't dare to follow, they might as well find opportunities by themselves.

  Xu Bai said: "Okay, if that's the case, I won't stop you, I want to go up to this mountain to have a look."

   He doesn’t need to care about the person in front of him, he is also happy and at ease. The mountain in front of him is the first thing he sees, so he has a strong interest.

   "Then I won't disturb Prince Xu!" Lou Ming bowed.

   After obtaining Xu Bai's consent, he left directly with his men and horses.

   After the soldiers of the Great Chu State left, Xu Bai turned his gaze to the mountain in front of him.

  This mountain peak soars into the clouds, and it looks celestial, giving people a sense of high mountains and long rivers, full of aura.

  Just by looking at it, it is a decent scene, and it will not make people feel that this ruin is full of mysterious and unpredictable thoughts.

   "Nianshen, cheat book, here I come!" Xu Bai rubbed his hands, and stepped into the mountain road with excitement.

  …

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

   There is no rush, even the corners of some twigs must be carefully looked at.

  The purpose is to discover the progress bar.

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

   Fortunately, nothing unusual happened along the way. After walking for nearly half an hour, Xu Bai stopped, looked at the scenery ahead, and frowned slightly.

  Not far ahead is an open space, but above the open space, there is a small Taoist temple.

  The road looks old, but it is not in disrepair, but has left traces of time.

  The gates of the Taoist temple are closed and not locked. The paint surface of the two gates has peeled off a little, which adds 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 feel in the Taoist temple, there is an old Taoist priest, holding a floating dust in his hand, sitting cross-legged on the futon, reading the Taoist scriptures silently.

  In front of the Taoist priest is a broken statue. Not far from the statue is a rectangular altar, on which are placed three pillars of yellow incense, and some fruits and other items.

  The smoke of Huangxiang is constantly lingering, accompanied by the silent recitation of the old Taoist priest, everything seems extremely peaceful, and people step into it unconsciously.

  Xu Bai withdrew his soul, and didn't feel anything unusual other than that, but this place is a relic.

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

   "Go and see."

  Xu Bai made up his mind and walked towards the Taoist temple.

  After arriving at the gate of the Taoist temple, he knocked lightly on the door. Before anyone came to open the door, the door was opened by the force of his knock.

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

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

  Huangxiang, futons, old Taoist priests, Taoist scriptures, plus the surrounding smoke, it looks like an ordinary Taoist temple.

  Xu Bai stroked his chin, and after thinking for a while, walked over.

  As Xu Bai walked in, he seemed to have disturbed the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist stopped the sound of chanting, stood up slowly, and turned around.

  He has a childlike face and a kind face. Even though he is old, he doesn't feel the slightest sense of terror.

  The old Taoist came out step by step, and Xu Bai realized that the old Taoist seemed to be limping, walking with a limp.

  From that hall to the front of Xu Bai, the old Taoist priest walked for a while, panting.

   "Blessed Lord, do you want to come to offer incense?" The old Taoist performed a Taoist etiquette.

  Fuzhu is the Taoist name for ordinary pilgrims. In this world, there are many kinds of names.

  Some call it "Shan Fu Shou", and some call it "Ten Fang Shanxin", and there are also "good people", "blessed masters", and "believers".

  Generally familiar pilgrims know their surnames, and they will add their surnames when addressing them. For example, pilgrims whose surname is "Wang" call them "Wang Shanren" and "Wang Xinren".

  The "good people" and "believers" who donate property to Taoist temples are called "meritorious masters" by Taoist priests.

   But blessing the Lord is a title for believers.

  Xu Bai smiled and said, "I don't believe in anyone, I just happened to pass by."

   "If you enter my Taoist temple, you are all believers." The old Taoist said: "Please follow the poor Taoist."

  Xu Bai raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter? I just came to take a look."

The old Taoist smiled slightly, with a sense of immortality, which made people feel a sense of affinity: "It's not early, and it's a barren mountain. In this mountain, there are often wild beasts passing by. The poor Taoist is worried that the blessed Lord will be in danger. Why don't you just go to the old Taoist priest?" Rest overnight in the Taoist temple."

  Every sentence has a kind taste, as if it is really to save Xu Bai from being invaded by wild beasts.

  After thinking for a while, Xu Bai nodded and said, "In that case, I would like to thank the Taoist priest."

  He didn't say why he came here, he just said that he happened to pass by, and now the old Taoist invited him, and he didn't refuse. He just took this opportunity to see what is so wonderful about this Taoist temple.

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

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

   From the front to the backyard, he needs to pass through the main hall. When passing the main hall, he subconsciously glanced at the dilapidated statue, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.

   "It seemed to look at me."

  Xu Bai keenly felt that the statue seemed to glance at him, with a cold look in his eyes, which made his hair stand on end, but when he looked carefully, the statue returned to normal, and everything before it seemed to be an illusion.

  If it is an ordinary person, it may be an illusion here. After all, the inside is filled with smoke and it is normal to see clearly.

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

  And the coldness and weirdness are completely different from the misty fairy air here, creating a strong contrast and highlighting a bit of creepy horror.

  Xu Bai didn't point out directly, but continued to follow.

  The old Taoist limped and walked very slowly.

  Xu Bai did not urge him, but followed slowly.

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

   "This Taoist temple is not small. Doesn't the master of the temple come here alone without a Taoist priest to help?" Xu Bai asked casually.

  The old Taoist priest walking in front turned his head and said: "The Taoist temple of Poor Taoism is opened in the deep mountains, and there are not many people there on weekdays. Naturally, this money is not much money, and I can't afford a second mouth."

  Xu Bai just nodded and didn't continue talking.

   Not long after, the old Taoist brought Xu Bai to one of the houses, gently pushed the door, and opened it.

  Inside the door is a simple and unsophisticated room. The furniture inside is still shabby, but in the eyes, there is a simple and chic, which does not make people feel disgusted.

   "The poor Taoist will not bother you." The old Taoist said slowly: "Dinner time, the poor Taoist will come to call the blessed Lord."

  Xu Bai hummed, which was his agreement.

  He still remembers what King Shengyou said, before these people become nian gods, he should communicate with them as much as possible, so that he may be able to find out more treasures.

  So up to now, Xu Bai is like a real passerby, playing the role to the fullest.

  The old Taoist left. Seeing that Xu Bai had no intention of speaking, he didn't stay any longer. 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 from his bosom King Shengyou's Invitation to God, and looked at it silently.

  Since everything hasn’t started yet, let’s move on to the progress bar.

  …

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

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

  Xu Bai was working on the progress bar. After hearing the sound of footsteps, he put down the book in his hand, walked to the door, opened a crack, and looked towards the backyard.

  When the door was opened a gap, there was a gust of wind blowing immediately, which made Xu Bai get goosebumps all over his body.

  Through the crack of the door, Xu Bai saw a beam of moonlight shining down in the yard outside, making the yard pale.

  The sound of intermittent footsteps came out, and the old Taoist was limping, with a big bag in his hand, walking slowly to the backyard.

  The pocket was very big, and the old Taoist had difficulty walking, which seemed to be very strenuous. There was a shelf in the corner of the yard, and there were hooks made of wire on the shelf.

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

   The bacon is long and has been smoked black.

  The old Taoist was lame, and it took a lot of effort to hang up all the bacon.

   After doing all this, he leaned on the wall, panting heavily, and after a while, he slapped his head.

   "As I get older, it's just useless. I almost forgot to call the blessed Lord to eat."

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

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

  To be honest, there was nothing abnormal except for the bleak wind when the door was opened. As for why there is meat in Taoist temples, this is actually quite normal.

   Taoist priests also have to eat meat.

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

   "But why do I always feel that there is a gloomy atmosphere here, especially the statues in the main hall, they did take a look at me." Xu Bai thought.

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

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

  Xu Bai heard the words, put the secret book on the table in his arms, came to the door, opened the door, and nodded.

   "It happened to be hungry."

  The old Taoist didn't say much, and turned around to lead the way with a limp.

  Xu Bai followed behind, and was taken to another room by the old Taoist priest not long after.

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

  The dim oil lamp kept flickering, bringing the only glimmer of light, which illuminated the dark room ruddy.

   But as the oil lamp continued to shake, the shadows were also flickering, which seemed a little gloomy.

  There are several pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table, as well as several plates. In addition to some vegetarian dishes, there is also a meat dish on the plate.

   "The Taoist temple is very small, and there are not many people there on weekdays, so the food is relatively simple, please don't be offended." The old Taoist turned his head and showed an apologetic smile.

  At this moment, under the illumination of the oil lamp, the old Taoist priest's original feeling of immortality disappeared, with a hint of gloom.

   Especially this smile, the light and shadow of the oil lamp intertwined on the face, making the scalp numb from the smile.

  Xu Bai also responded with a smile: "Going out, it's better to be simple, I don't care."

  The old Taoist nodded again and again, limped to a seat and sat down, then waved to Xu Bai: "Blessed Lord, hurry up and eat, these dishes will not taste good when they are cold."

  Xu Bai didn't say much, sat opposite the old Taoist priest, picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and stirred them on the plate.

  Vegetable dishes are just ordinary vegetable dishes, they look the same, but as Xu Bai stirred, he stirred a strand of hair in one of the vegetables.

  The hair is very long and black.

   When eating, if you find a hair, it will affect your mood.

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

  The old Taoist replied: "Maybe it was accidentally left behind when the poor Taoist was cooking, so the Lord does not want to eat this dish."

  Xu Bai said: "But the hair is as black as ink, and the temple master's hair is like silver threads."

   "There will always be one or two black hairs, not all white." The eyes of the old Taoist became slightly stiff.

  Xu Bai looked at the white hair of the other party, and put the chopsticks in another dish.

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

  Under the light of the oil lamp, Xu Bai kept stirring it with chopsticks, and soon a bone came out.

  The bones are very long, the joints are still connected, and there is a little minced meat on it.

  Xu Bai picked up the bone, stared at the old Taoist calmly, and said, "Mystery Master, can you tell me whether this is a pig's tail bone or a human finger?"

  (end of this chapter)
