Chapter 100 The Mirror World Controls Life and Death (8000)

In front of Xu Bai, the progress bar was slowly growing, and after a while, it was finally completed.

Light blue smoke appeared in the air, curling and gathering into lines of text, the text turned from blurry to clear, and appeared in front of Xu Bai.

After a while, the text in front of him was completely formed and no new changes occurred.

[You observe the nameless sword scripture and comprehend the twenty-four armor-breaking styles (incomplete)].

After this line of text appeared, Xu Bai showed an expression of "as expected", and his guess was no different from his.

At the beginning, the first nameless sword scripture was obtained.

It was mentioned above that it was the twenty-four armor-breaking styles, and the word "incomplete" was followed.

It proves that this nameless sword scripture was decomposed into twenty-four parts by the nameless swordsman as the legend said, and scattered in unknown locations, so there was an extra word "incomplete".

Now it seems that he has obtained another part of it.

Xu Bai suddenly felt like collecting cards, just like a card drawing game, and got another part of the cards.

After the light blue text appeared, it began to become blurry, and then it became clear again, forming new content in mid-air.

[Found options that can be merged, merging in progress. ]

[Broken Breaking Style 1 + Armor Breaking Style 24 (Incomplete) = Broken Breaking Style 2. ]

[Fusion successful. ]

At this point, the line of text finally turned into information, drilling into Xu Bai's mind, integrating the detailed method of Broken Breaking Style 2, allowing Xu Bai to successfully understand the true meaning.

The latest panel appeared in front of him, showing all of Xu Bai's current skills.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Eighth-Rank Wanderer. ]

[Broken Breaking Style 2 (Level 3): Full Level. ]

[Reversing the Four Directions (Level 2.5): Full Level. ]

[Maple Leaves Like Rain (Level 2): ​​Full Level. ]

[Four-Step Method (Level 3): Full Level. ]

[Moving the Stars (Level 4): Full Level. 】

【Vajra Heart Demon Body (Level 4); Full Level. 】

【Kidney Strengthening Method (Level 4): Full Level. 】

【True Solution to Hundred Poisons (Level 3): Full Level. 】

【Comprehension (Full Level). 】

…

Broken Break 1 became Broken Break 2, and the level also changed from Level 2 to Level 3. As the information in his mind was absorbed, Xu Bai also understood the truth.

In general, the improvement is still very large. The first thing that has been improved is the power of armor-breaking. Now Xu Bai chops down with a knife, and the power of armor-breaking is directly increased by two times, which can be said to be a huge improvement.

Of course, the improvement is not only the power of armor-breaking, but also the strength of the swordsmanship itself.

After all, it is a qualitative breakthrough from Level 2 to Level 3.

In addition, there is a special ability, which is a new ability compared with these two abilities.

——Severely injured.

This is a very easy to understand meaning. In simple terms, it is to make the opponent's injuries unable to recover.

The principle of application is also very simple, that is, attaching the true energy to the knife, and there are some subtle changes when using it.

When the knife hits the opponent, the true energy stays in the opponent's body by breaking the armor. Even if the opponent has a strong healing ability, the true energy still destroys it, which will also reduce the opponent's recovery speed.

It is a very insidious feature, but Xu Bai likes it very much, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.

"Well... Next, I will focus on these two books." Xu Bai touched his chin and took out the two mental methods on the table. After carefully screening, he still planned to read the Taoist mental method first.

The mental method he currently has is called Reversing Yin and Yang and Chaosing the Four Directions. It sounds awesome, but the level is not high.

More importantly, he really wants to know if the Taoist mental method will be closely related to the ability he uses after integrating it.

For example, there will be a bonus, or it can reduce consumption.

Anyway, there is no harm in trying. The golden finger gives him infinite tolerance, that is, as long as he is given time, he can learn the strengths of hundreds of schools, integrate them into one, and stand on the highest mountain.

Turning over the book, the progress bar appears in front of him.

I have to say that it is worthy of being a new method of the fifth level. It takes a lot of time.

But it is not a big problem. What he lacks the least now is time.

This Taoist mental method is called "Zixiao Yushu".

When Xu Bai read it carefully, he showed a surprised expression, because the content of this book and the effects described were beyond his expectations.

According to the description of Zixiao Yushu, the most important effect of this method is to borrow momentum.

With the divine essence as the guide, you can borrow the momentum of heaven and earth.

But this book has a disadvantage, that is, the level is not high.

It is only the fifth level, and the maximum momentum borrowed is only about 20%, and the consumption will be greater when it is used.

But sometimes, this 20% effect itself can play a role in reversing the situation.

What's more, if he could truly reach the fifth-level grade, Xu Bai would not be afraid of consumption.

"The true energy of the kidneys can be used as a treasure house. In terms of consumption, it is nothing, and it can increase strength by 20% for nothing, which is really good." Xu Bai touched his chin and thought secretly.

The biggest disadvantage is consumption, but for him, it is not a disadvantage at all.

"Let's do it!" Xu Bai started immediately and continued to stare at it intently.

In fact, he was still a little looking forward to it. After all, he had not only the Zixiao Yushu, but also the Yin and Yang Reversal.

If they can be integrated, I don't know what changes will be made in the effect.

Breaking armor, causing hallucinations, fighting more and more bravely, plus taking advantage of the situation.

Very beautiful, very beautiful!

With such an idea, Xu Bai became more and more fascinated.

...

Time passed, the sun and the moon rotated.

In a blink of an eye, it was already night.

Yunlai Mansion, located in a remote place, has simple folk customs, but in comparison, it is still relatively backward.

However, no matter what, it is a prefecture after all, and it has the area it should have, and it governs all the prefectures and counties.

At this moment, Wu Gou, the former lord of Yunlai Prefecture, is packing up and preparing to leave here early in the morning to take up his post elsewhere.

When he leaves, he will have to take a lot of his own team with him. After all, he has left the familiar territory and arrived in a new place. He can bring some familiar people with him so that he can use them.

"I didn't expect that Yun Zihai would really do it. This matter has set a precedent. The first prefecture that can govern itself and is not affected by external vision has great power." Wu Gou sighed secretly while packing up his things.

It feels like sour grapes. After all, such a situation of decentralization is very enviable.

As a sixth-rank scholar, Wu Gou did not come from Qingyun Academy, but from another academy.

That academy is not very famous, but he was able to pass the imperial examination and step by step to his current position, all thanks to his own hard work.

He was also a person who climbed up from the bottom, so of course he understood the ins and outs of it. Compared with some flowers in the greenhouse, he saw many different things.

His Majesty's decentralization may not only be a superficial promise, but also have a deeper meaning.

Of course, how can they, as ministers, guess the emperor's heart? He couldn't figure out what it meant.

But he knew one thing, the handover procedure must be smooth, and no one could see any tricks.

After packing up, Wu Gou came to a brazier, looked at the ashes inside, and smiled with satisfaction.

As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Remote areas like theirs have all kinds of wonderful benefits.

Sometimes when you are close to the emperor, you are bound to do anything, but when you are far away, some things are naturally smooth.

He has no money and sex.

He is used to being here. At first glance, he was transferred to a prosperous place, but in fact, it bounded his hands and feet.

"Fortunately, there is nothing missing, and everything has been wiped clean." Wu Gou thought.

This last thing came to an end, and he was a little more relaxed. He came to the window and looked at the moonlight outside the window.

While watching the beautiful night, he wondered if there was anything missing. After confirming again and again, he was ready to close the window and rest early.

Tomorrow morning, he had to do the handover procedures, so of course he had to rest early, so as not to miss the spirit, which would be bad.

But what he didn't expect was that before he closed the window, he saw a person standing in the yard with the residual light outside the window.

Because the moonlight was not very bright, he couldn't see clearly, but the sudden appearance of a person in the middle of the night immediately made him alert.

The brush and book appeared in his hand, and the window was slowly pushed open by him. At the same time, one word after another, as he wrote, surrounded his whole body.

After all, he was a sixth-rank scholar, and this strength was still impressive.

Wu Gou was about to question the other party's identity, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't seem to appreciate it. He didn't give him a chance to ask and directly raised his right hand.

A flash of cold light flashed, and the temperature around him dropped sharply.

Wu Gou only felt a chill on his neck, and then he felt a sharp pain.

This pain was not the pain of a sharp weapon blocking the throat, nor the pain of a blunt weapon hitting, but the pain of ant-sized mouths constantly gnawing at the flesh on his neck.

Wu Gou couldn't help but free his hand, grabbed his neck, and grabbed the thing flashing with cold light.

Under the moonlight, he saw the thing on his palm clearly, and then the hair on his body stood up.

It was a fragment of a bronze mirror. In the fragments, there were ant-sized faces, opening and closing their mouths at him.

The pain just now came from this.

"Strange!"

Wu Gou's eyes widened: "Mirror dead!"

He didn't finish his words, because then the blurry figure in the yard gradually became clear.

The figure was in pieces, like pieces of mirrors spliced ​​together, and looked extremely scary.

When the figure became clear, he slowly raised his feet and walked towards Wu Gou.

With every step, the fragments on his body that seemed to be spliced ​​together trembled, as if they would fall off at any time.

As the mirror dead approached, Wu Gou seemed to have thought of something, and quickly turned around and wrapped the bronze mirror in the house with cloth.

After doing all this, he immediately turned around, holding a brush and a book in his hand, letting the words appear around his body, and attacked the mirror dead.

"Boom!"

There were bursts of loud noises from the backyard, and all the words fell into the air.

When Wu Gou looked over, he found that the mirror dead who appeared at the beginning had disappeared long ago.

"Gone?"

This situation made his heart tremble, and a feeling of uneasiness permeated his body.

He did not dare to slack off, and the hand holding the brush kept waving, letting the words take shape, surrounding his whole body, protecting it tightly.

A gust of cold wind blew around, making Wu Gou's back cold.

Turning his head, Wu Gou found that the cloth covering the mirror had been blown off by the wind.

When he turned his head and subconsciously stared at the mirror, he found his face reflected in the mirror.

That face had a strange smile, but his eyes were cold and gloomy.

Wu Gou suddenly put down his hands, his face became extremely dull, and slowly walked to the mirror.

The words no longer appeared on his body, and the book and brush in his hand fell to the ground, but he was unaware of it.

The face in the mirror still had a strange smile, as if mocking, and as if looking at a prey.

The next moment, Wu Gou suddenly stretched out his hand and made a strange move.

He picked up the mirror in front of him, and then, with all his strength, threw it to the ground.

"Snap!"

The crisp sound of breaking sounded, which was particularly obvious in the dark night, making people tremble.

Not only his house, but also the sound of mirror breaking in the government office where people lived.

After breaking the mirror, Wu Gou squatted on the ground and picked up one of the fragments.

At this moment, his face was no longer dull, but replaced by the weird smile in the mirror.

The smile was emotionless and extremely eerie.

Wu Gou held the mirror fragment, slowly raised his hand, put the fragment on his face, and slid it gently.

The sliding movement was very gentle, as if he was applying a layer of rouge on himself, but what was left was blood.

The blood flowed along the mirror fragment, along his hand, and finally dripped from his chin.

Wu Gou was unaware of it, and his movements continued.

Softly and slowly.

There were more and more bloodstains on his face, some of which were so deep that the bones could be seen. In just a moment, there was no place to see on this face.

Wu Gou smiled coldly, and the flesh and blood on his face, as well as the blood that kept flowing, made him even colder.

The direction of the mirror fragment changed, and it slowly fell on Wu Gou's neck.

The next moment, Wu Gou slid gently, and a bloodstain appeared on his neck, and then blood spurted out.

"Plop!"

Wu Gou knelt on the ground, his head drooped, his hands placed weakly on both sides.

The breath of life gradually disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Gou turned into a corpse.

The room fell into silence again, and the dead man was no longer seen in the backyard.

...

The next day.

Xu Bai left Fulong Escort Agency under the farewell of the escorts.

Before leaving, he had given all his things to another escort, who was relatively calm and efficient, and was fully competent.

Among the people accompanying him, only Liu Er followed behind him.

Today is the day to go to Yunlai Mansion. It is estimated that Sheng County will rarely come back in the future.

Liu Er followed behind Xu Bai, looking at Xu Bai's back, and his eyes were more and more admiring.

On the way, Xu Bai had told everything, including the place he said he was going this time, and Niu Er had no objection to this.

In his mind, Sheng County is already very big.

The place they were going to now was Yunlai Prefecture, which was two levels larger than Sheng County.

He didn't know how big Yunlai Prefecture was.

But it was definitely much larger than Sheng County.

He was excited when he thought that he, a person from a small county, had the opportunity to go to Yunlai Prefecture.

"Sure enough, there is no problem following the escort leader." Liu Er thought as he walked.

Not long after, the two of them had arrived at the county government office, and Yun Zihai was also waiting at the gate of the county government office, carrying large and small bags.

A weak scholar, who was also born with deficiencies, with a face as pale as paper, but carrying large and small bags, gave people a strong sense of difference.

Xu Bai said: "Go and help him get the things."

Liu Er was very sensible and quickly took the package from Yun Zihai's hand.

After all, he became a ninth-rank warrior, so he still had some strength.

In addition to daily necessities, Xu Bai only brought money, and he didn't leave anything else.

"Brother Yun, are there no carriages?"

There was nothing around, not even a horse. Xu Bai wondered, could they still have to walk?

"The carriage is outside." Yun Zihai said, "It's parked at the gate of the county town. On the way there, I want to do something, so I'm walking outside."

Xu Bai touched his chin.

Yun Zihai didn't say what he was going to do, and he didn't ask.

The two walked side by side, heading out of the city gate.

The further you go outside, the lower the density of houses outside, and the more dilapidated the architectural style.

It's like this. The closer to the center of the county town, the more prosperous it is, and the farther away from the center of the county town, the worse it is.

When the two were about to touch the city gate, Xu Bai couldn't help but frowned before seeing Yun Zihai make any movement.

At this moment, Yun Zihai suddenly stopped and smiled bitterly.

Xu Bai looked in the direction of Yun Zihai and found that there were already a bunch of people standing at the city gate.

This group of people were dressed in ordinary, even shabby clothes, and they were not rich at first glance.

"We are here to see Lord Yun off." The people of Sheng County knelt on the ground and said in unison.

Yun Zihai quickly helped the people up one by one, and then talked to them.

The content of his talk was mostly ordinary things, just reminding them to be careful.

The situation took a whole stick of incense before it gradually improved.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Yun was originally for a mission, but in a short period of time, he still did a lot of practical things for Sheng County."

"Do your job in your position, I just do some things in my spare time." Yun Zihai said helplessly, "I just wanted to travel low-key and didn't want to take a carriage, but I didn't expect that they would still find me."

Outside the county town, the carriage was parked intact.

Xu Bai walked over.

When passing by Yun Zihai, he suddenly said: "Brother Yun, perhaps Yunlai Mansion is a place for you to show your strengths."

Yun Zihai was stunned and laughed: "This is the first time that Brother Xu is so sure of me."

"Get in the car." Xu Bai didn't say anything more and got on the carriage directly.

Just taking the spare time, he can win the love of the people. Maybe Yun Zihai really has that talent, but he just lacks a platform.

Yun Zihai didn't say anything, and followed Xu Bai and sat in the carriage.

Liu Er took the whip from the person who saw him off, sat in the position of the groom, and acted as a groom.

"Go!"

Accompanied by the sound, the horse hoof was raised and ran towards the distance, raising dust all over the sky.

...

Yinyi is a transportation hub of the Great Chu State, and there are roads in Jingzhou Prefecture.

At this moment, at the Yinyi on Xinqi Road.

A carriage came slowly.

This Yinyi is much larger than the Yinyi in Sheng County. There are many postmen on the street.

When the carriage came, the postmen did not show much reaction, but just took a look and left it alone.

Yinyi was originally for this job, so it was normal for someone to come.

If no one came, that would be abnormal.

Yun Zihai got off the carriage with a pale face.

Xu Bai followed behind and looked around.

When he saw the Yinyi, which was much bigger, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Xu, I'll go find the postmaster, you look around first." Yun Zihai turned around and said.

When they were in the carriage just now, Xu Bai said that he wanted to look around here, and Yun Zihai didn't force it.

They were on a long journey, and as officials, there was free food here to supplement.

After Yun Zihai left, Xu Bai asked Liu Er to stay in the carriage and started to wander around Yinyi.

Yinyi was indeed big, and Xu Bai was not in a hurry, looking at one stall after another.

Most of the things traded here are strange and bizarre, after all, they are not ordinary people.

Are these things useful?

Yes or no, it depends on the specific situation.

For example, the coffin next to it.

According to the postman who sells coffins, once you encounter a weird thing and you really can't beat it, just hide in it, you can isolate the breath of the living.

The weird thing has no consciousness, once the breath of the living is isolated, it will be much safer.

The postman said it was very powerful, but Xu Bai also knew that the sellers all boasted about their goods.

He came only for the progress bar, and he was not interested in anything without a progress bar.

Yun Zihai seemed to have been talking for a long time, and he hasn't come out yet.

Xu Bai was not in a hurry, just wandering around.

It wasn't until an incense stick of time passed that he finished touring this Yinyi.

When he walked out of the stall of the postman, he was holding a pottery jar in his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face.

There were strange and complicated patterns carved on the pottery jar, and it was impossible to discern its specific shape.

There was nothing inside, it was empty, and there was not even a lid.

But Xu Bai was very happy, because there was a progress bar on the pattern.

"I found a treasure." Xu Bai carefully placed the pottery jar on the carriage, and his smile became more intense.

At this time, Yun Zihai also came out from the postmaster.

But compared with Xu Bai, Yun Zihai's expression was not so happy, but gloomy.

Yun Zihai still didn't say a word until he got on the carriage.

"Go!" Liu Er drove the carriage and continued on the road.

The carriage brought a puff of dust and went farther and farther.

In the carriage, Xu Bai stroked the pattern on the pottery jar and looked at Yun Zihai.

"What's wrong?"

From the moment Yun Zihai entered the carriage, he saw Yun Zihai's face full of sorrow, his eyebrows twisted into a piece, and the four big words "I have something on my mind" were almost written on his face.

Even if it was an ordinary person here, he could see it, let alone Xu Bai.

Just now, Xu Bai was still immersed in the joy of getting the progress bar. At this time, he gradually calmed down, so he asked.

Yun Zihai was still thinking. After Xu Bai asked, he came back to his senses and apologized: "Sorry, Brother Xu, I was still thinking about something just now, so I didn't say anything. We may have to speed up the progress and can't rest in the middle."

"Oh?" Xu Bai became interested and said, "Something happened in Yunlai Mansion?"

If there is anything else worth catching up, it can only be that something happened in Yunlai Mansion.

Sure enough, Xu Bai just said it, and Yun Zihai nodded one after another.

"Not only did something happen, but it was a big thing." Yun Zihai frowned and said: "Brother Xu, the governor of Yunlai Mansion died not long ago."

"What, dead?" Xu Bai was slightly stunned.

He really didn't expect that the news was so explosive. A governor actually died?

"It seems that he was killed by a weirdo, and there are no clues. But after the weirdo kills someone, it will definitely kill again, so I have to hurry over." Yun Zihai's words were filled with a trace of worry.

Xu Bai saw something unusual and frowned, "Is that weirdo very strong?"

Yun Zihai's expression just now seemed to show that he was quite afraid of that weirdo.

Yun Zihai shook his head and said, "It's not very strong, but its characteristics are very strange, especially one of its characteristics, even now, there is still no way to crack it."

Yun Zihai is an expert in this regard. Although Xu Bai is now famous, he has only been in this circle for a short time and is not very clear about many things.

Especially when it comes to weirdo things, he has only encountered a few weirdos from beginning to end, and they were all solved by violence, so he really has no chance to understand them.

"Brother Xu, have you heard of... the dead in the mirror?" Yun Zihai said.

Xu Bai shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it, but he suddenly remembered that the name contained the word "mirror". Could it be related to the mirror?

Thinking of this, Xu Bai asked the question in his heart.

Originally, this was just a guess of his. Unexpectedly, when he said it, Yun Zihai actually nodded, indicating that it was indeed related to the mirror.

"The characteristic of the mirror dead is that they use mirrors as carriers. They may appear wherever there are mirrors, and each time they appear, they are in a region. After the first incident occurs, they will continue to occur in this region."

"The most important point is that wherever there is a mirror, as long as you see that mirror, the mirror will show the appearance of the viewer, and the mirror dead will have the level of the viewer, and the viewer's strength will be weakened by half."

Speaking of this, Yun Zihai roughly stated the ability of the mirror dead.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly.

This ability... is very strong.

First of all, if the mirror shows the appearance of the viewer, the mirror dead will completely have the level of the viewer, and this alone is very difficult to deal with.

There is one thing worth pondering in Yun Zihai's words, that is, the dead in the mirror can only have the level of the direct viewer, but not the ability of the direct viewer.

In other words, this strange killing method still uses its own, and will not use the ability of the direct viewer to kill people.

Secondly, and the most fatal point, it will directly reduce the level of the direct viewer by half.

If it is a sixth-grade master, what kind of end will it be after being reduced by half? It is self-evident.

"You just said that every time it appears, isn't this the first time it has appeared?" Xu Bai found the strangeness in Yun Zihai's words and asked.

Yun Zihai nodded and said, "This is its second characteristic, you can never kill it."

"The place where it lives belongs to the world in the mirror. Even if it is killed many times in the outside world, it will be resurrected again."

"Someone once tried to run into the world in the mirror and kill it. Since then, it has been quiet for a long time, but unexpectedly, it came out again. Later, I learned that as long as there is a mirror, it has countless places to resurrect."

After the voice fell, the carriage fell into silence.

Yun Zihai thought of something and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Brother Xu, I don't want to ask you for help. I don't have any other intentions. I'm just chatting with you casually."

He was telling the truth, without any falsehood. After all, the current situation was under his jurisdiction.

Most importantly, the last time he asked Xu Bai for help, Xu Bai was almost taken away by the female master, which made Yun Zihai feel guilty.

"I'll go and take a look." Xu Bai said, "You said that you want to cover an area. The Yinyi where I am happens to be the area of ​​Yunlai Mansion. If it affects Yinyi, it will also have a great impact on me."

Xu Bai was also telling the truth.

If there is danger in the place where he is fleecing, he must find a way to solve it, otherwise he will be unable to sleep and eat here.

What's more, if the two of them join forces, they can solve the problem faster.

"Brother Xu, I know that you are a chivalrous man!" Yun Zihai didn't know what to think, and he was immediately moved by himself: "Sure enough, Junior Sister Liu didn't make a mistake. He said that you have an imperceptible sense of justice. Now I finally understand it."

Xu Bai: "..."

He didn't know whether to say thank you or say something to alleviate the current special situation.

If he was given another chance to start over, or if Liu Xu stood in front of him, he would definitely hold Liu Xu's shoulders, get close to Liu Xu's ears, and roar at the loudest volume.

"Don't praise me so much!"

Even with Xu Bai's facial expression, he felt a little uncomfortable with such praise.

Outside the carriage, Liu Er was still driving the carriage.

The two people in the carriage were talking closely.

After talking for about half an incense stick of time, Xu Bai and Yun Zihai felt that something was gradually wrong.

"The carriage seems to be slowing down, and it's getting slower and slower."

Xu Bai frowned and shouted, "Liu Er, are you asleep?"

Liu Er heard the sound and stopped the carriage. Then, he lifted the curtain of the carriage and carefully put his head into the carriage.

"My lord, something happened outside."

There was a tremor in his voice, showing that Liu Er was very unstable.

Xu Bai looked past Liu Er and through the gap in the curtain that Liu Er had lifted, looking outside.

When he saw the situation outside, his eyes widened slightly, and then he held his hand on the ghost-head knife.

"Brother Yun, it seems that this last journey is actually bumpy."
