Chapter 103: The Increasing Sewing Method (8000)
As everyone knows, King Shengyou is the emperor's younger brother, and he holds a high position in the court. He is second only to the emperor, and even those first-class officials can only look up to him.
Not only the court, not only the Great Chu, but even the rivers and lakes are afraid of King Shengyou, including the Great Yue Kingdom and the wild land.
These are the glorious achievements of King Shengyou in his early years when he led thousands of troops.
For such a person, what is there to be sneaky about? He has to send a female scout to tell him quietly.
Xu Bai was slightly curious, and at the same time he had a vague guess in his heart. He seemed to have guessed someone.
If King Shengyou can come quietly, then there is only one person.
——The Emperor of Great Chu.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and continued to wait for the costumed woman to speak.
Just as the costumed woman said, she was indeed a novice. After a while of panic, she organized her words and told the cause and effect of the matter one by one.
"The prince went back to the capital before, and after chatting with His Majesty, he went directly to the border." The costumed woman adjusted her overlong hem and said, "Before leaving, the content of the chat with His Majesty was related to you. I also came here specially to inform you of this matter."
Xu Bai heard this and did not speak. He was waiting for the costumed woman to continue to talk about the follow-up.
It was exactly the same as his guess. The one who could make King Shengyou secretly send people here was indeed the Emperor of Da Chu. I just don't know what else is behind this.
"After learning about your story, even His Majesty became interested in talents. The two of them had a big quarrel in the imperial study at that time, and then the prince left." The costumed woman said slowly.
"But before leaving, the prince and His Majesty made a bet about the Yunlai Mansion."
Yunlai Mansion?
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said to himself that things were indeed not that simple.
"It turns out that Yun Zihai and I came to Yunlai Mansion because of His Majesty's plan."
He couldn't help but think of what happened before.
He and Yun Zihai and others dealt with the Eighth Prince, and then released Shengyou Wang. After Shengyou Wang returned to the capital, he had a quarrel with the emperor, and then Yun Zihai was assigned to Yunlai Mansion.
In other words, if there hadn't been this incident, Yun Zihai would have been assigned to other mansions if he had done it alone, and there was no need to assign him to Yunlai Mansion.
After arriving at Yunlai Mansion, Xu Bai also saw how deep the water was here.
As soon as he arrived, he was assassinated twice. The things here are not something that ordinary people can handle.
Combining the information obtained before, it seems that the emperor arranged the two of them here for a deep meaning.
The woman in costume nodded and said, "It is true. The water in Yunnan Mansion is very deep. It is complicated and there are many forces gathered in it, so the things in it are difficult to deal with."
This answer has confirmed Xu Bai's guess.
"What is the bet?" Xu Bai asked.
"Let's bet on the governance of Yunlai Mansion." The costumed woman replied, "The prince said that you can make Yunlai Mansion a peaceful and clean place, but your majesty thinks it is impossible."
Speaking of this, the costumed woman looked at Xu Bai curiously, her eyes rolling around.
Of course she was very curious. Before coming here, she heard from the prince that his appreciation of Xu Bai was unique.
Although the costumed woman was just a novice and had not been in the army for a long time, this was the first time she heard the prince's praise.
So she really became more and more curious about Xu Bai. After meeting Xu Bai today, she dispelled her curiosity.
But dispelling it doesn't mean there are no new points of curiosity.
"What is their bet?" Xu Bai put his hand on his chin, rubbed it gently, and asked the doubts in his heart.
Since it is a bet, there must be a bet.
These two are the first and second in command of the Great Chu State, and the bet must not be simple.
"If the prince wins, His Majesty will not care about your business. You can do whatever you want. If the prince loses, then His Majesty will compete with the prince for you." The costumed woman said.
The wilderness fell into silence. As the costumed woman finished speaking, Xu Bai suddenly raised his head and said in a helpless tone.
"Am I handsome?"
The costumed woman was stunned, looked at Xu Bai carefully, and then nodded affirmatively: "Yeah!"
The word "Yeah" was said with stress, and the answer was very firm.
"Why do you all come to me? How can the emperor and the prince be so irritated with me, a small eighth-rank official?" Xu Bai was more and more speechless.
To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved. He just wanted to work on the progress bar peacefully.
Why do these two people regard him as a talent? Is he a talent? He really is not.
He can't march and fight, and he can't rule the country and bring peace to the world. He can only kill people.
"You may not know that at that time, His Majesty had asked a master who was proficient in divination to calculate your affairs. As a result, the master said directly." The costumed woman said silently: "A rare talent."
Xu Bai: "..."
The costumed woman didn't see Xu Bai's expression, and continued to say: "As for the rest, we don't know. Anyway, everyone is optimistic about you. It is said that the person who predicted your fortune was also beheaded on the spot by His Majesty, just to prevent your news from leaking out."
Xu Bai fell into deep thought.
Although he didn't know what the situation was, if this matter was true, the emperor's approach was reasonable.
Apart from anything else, if this news spread, it would not only be the Great Chu Kingdom that would move, but also the Great Yue Kingdom and the Wilderness.
So temporarily blocking the news is a good thing for the Great Chu Kingdom.
"Then you are the only one who knows." Xu Bai's eyes turned and fell on the costumed woman.
Even the fortune teller was dead, so only the costumed woman knew about it. If something went wrong in the middle...
The costumed woman was startled and felt the boundless murderous aura wrapped around her.
"Wait, I won't leak the secret, I will never do such a thing."
As soon as the voice fell, the ghost-head knife was already on the neck of the costumed woman, and it was about to take off the beautiful head.
"I am the daughter of King Shengyou, Chu Yu!" The costumed woman quickly answered, tears almost coming out.
Xu Bai frowned: "King Shengyou has a daughter?"
"Yes, yes, I was born before the prince died, and I have been raised by your majesty." The costumed woman nodded like pounding garlic, fearing that if she answered too late, the knife would fall.
"Then you still call him the prince?" Xu Bai expressed disbelief.
"Dad said that if I were in his army, I could only call him this when I was doing things. I am also doing things now!" Chu Yu raised the jade card and said: "If you don't believe it, look at this."
As she finished this sentence, the jade card emitted a burst of light, and then the image of King Shengyou appeared.
Xu Bai put down the knife and stared at the image.
"Xu Bai, if you see this, you should have seen my daughter. She should have told you everything that happened. So, you decide what to do next. My daughter is in your care."
Chu Yu held up the jade card and looked at Xu Bai pitifully.
Xu Bai: "?"
When he saw this image, he had no idea. The first half of the sentence was fine, but what did the last sentence mean?
What does it mean to leave it to him to take care of? This made him a little confused.
Wait!
Xu Bai stared at Chu Yu and said, "You don't want to stay with me, do you?"
Chu Yu nodded pitifully: "Dad said that I should experience the dangers of the rivers and lakes and temper my temper, so he sent me here. And now, only you know that I am Dad's daughter."
After the death of King Shengyou, it was said to the outside world that King Shengyou had no successor. After all, it was related to the resurrection plan, and this was also one of the links.
"Later, when my father returned to the capital, he didn't recognize me. He just recognized me in private and asked me to hide my identity. I thought it was something else, but I didn't expect it was for now." Chu Yu was helpless, stirring with her right hand, and the hair draped on her chest was messed up.
"Then you go back, I don't need it here." Xu Bai sheathed the knife and turned to leave.
What a joke, he is not a nanny or a teacher, why should he help King Shengyou deal with these family affairs?
Chu Yu saw Xu Bai was about to leave, and took two steps at a time, stopped in front of Xu Bai, then opened his hands and raised them flat and said: "Wait, my father said, I won't let you take care of me for nothing, I will pay a reward."
"Even if you give me a mountain of gold and silver, I won't agree." Xu Bai walked around Chu Yu and said.
He is not a good person who does charity. In this case, it is better not to get involved.
"Dad said that if I give you this, you will agree." Chu Yu seemed to have thought of something, and took out a book from his bosom and handed it to Xu Bai.
The book was placed on Chu Yu's bulging chest, and it was still a little warm.
Xu Bai stopped and stared at the progress bar on the book, lost in thought.
When he flipped a page at random, he immediately understood what book it was.
Nameless Sword Scripture.
Another Nameless Sword Scripture.
This is the third Nameless Sword Scripture that can enter the first grade after collecting twenty-four books.
"Alas..." Xu Bai sighed and silently put the Nameless Sword Scripture in his clothes: "You can agree, but you have to listen to me."
Even if it was a mountain of gold and silver, he would not agree, but the progress bar was different, and it was the progress bar of the Nameless Sword Scripture.
After the Nameless Sword Scripture became the second style of breaking, it had reached the third level. If it was further comprehended, it would probably reach the fourth level.
He really couldn't refuse this thing.
It smells really good.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be obedient." Chu Yu answered quickly, and then seemed to think of something, crossed her hands and covered her chest: "If you want to do that, I can't do it."
Xu Bai's mouth twitched. He didn't want to talk about this issue any more. He reminded him again, saying, "I won't guarantee your safety 100%. Is that okay?"
"No problem. I want to experience the dangers of the rivers and lakes. It's like training myself." Chu Yu said, "Dad said that as long as I learn half of your cruelty and cunningness, I can become a master."
Xu Bai: "(⊙o⊙)"
What does cruelty mean? What does cunning mean? He is a very upright person.
"Forget it, let's go. Let's talk about it when we return to Yinyi." Xu Bai said, "By the way, from now on you are my maid. This is the only way to conceal your identity. Do you understand?"
I thought it would take a lot of time to talk. After all, it would be a bit unbalanced to let a prince's daughter fall to the status of a maid. I didn't expect Chu Yu to answer quickly and agree very straightforwardly.
"Okay, Master." Chu Yu hung his hands on his lower abdomen, crossed and stacked.
Xu Bai rubbed his brows, turned around and walked away quickly.
Chu Yu came to the stage and burned it down with a fire. Then she followed Xu Bai and walked happily.
…
After returning to Yinyi, Chu Yu took off her outer costume, revealing a light yellow dress and pants, and removed her makeup at the same time. Xu Bai saw her true face.
She looked pure and soft, with a sense of feminine fragility, and her eyebrows and eyes could also be seen to be somewhat similar to Shengyou Wang.
After returning to the room, Chu Yu walked around in the room. Fortunately, the room where the Yunlaifu Postmaster lived was large, and there was enough room for Chu Yu to stay.
Soon, Chu Yu wandered away and disappeared. After a while, she walked to Xu Bai with a basin of water and put it down.
"Master, wash your feet." Chu Yu squatted down, touched her knees together, and tilted her head to look at Xu Bai.
Xu Bai was full of black lines: "Even if it's role-playing, you shouldn't be so involved, right?"
"It's like this in the palace." Chu Yu said blankly: "And you said that you want me to be a maid, and I am also doing the work of a maid."
While speaking, Chu Yu rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms.
"You go back first, I can do it myself, can you rest early?" Xu Bai hurriedly stopped her.
Finally, Chu Yu returned to her room with a puzzled look.
Xu Bai rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.
"Forget it, just teach her well."
He couldn't understand how a powerful figure like King Shengyou could give birth to a daughter who was so innocent, as if she didn't know anything.
But after thinking about it later, it was really possible. After all, this was King Shengyou's daughter, and the relationship between King Shengyou and the emperor could not be better.
The reason why King Shengyou faked his death was to complete the emperor's plan. The emperor naturally had to take good care of his only remaining daughter. It was rare for Chuyu to maintain such a heart in that environment.
No wonder she had to send her daughter to him. It turned out that she wanted her daughter to grow up.
Of course, Xu Bai also had a conspiracy theory here.
If the emperor had trained her as usual, he would not have trained such a young girl who was ignorant of the world.
So what did the emperor think?
I don't understand.
Xu Bai shook his head, put aside these complicated thoughts, and took out the Zixiao Yushu in his hand.
No matter what they thought, the most important thing for him now was to finish the progress bar.
The oil lamp flickered, and in the light of the oil lamp, Xu Bai looked more and more seriously.
...
The next day.
I have to say that it is worthy of being a fifth-grade progress bar. Compared with the progress bar I had worked on before, the speed is much slower.
But at least it was done with great effort, so there is still progress, just a little slower.
Early in the morning, Xu Bai smelled the fragrance of rice. When he walked out of the room and came to the hall, he saw two bowls of rice, two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, a total of three dishes on the table.
"Master, are you up?" Chu Yu saw Xu Bai coming out, and hurriedly jumped in front of Xu Bai, raised his head and said, "I made it."
Xu Bai was slightly stunned: "You can also cook?"
Chu Yu lowered his head after hearing this, and didn't know what emotion this sentence touched, his eyes were a little dim: "When I was at home, there were some people who were particularly respectful to me. If I couldn't find anyone to chat with, I would cook and eat hard. I was happiest when I was eating."
Speaking of this, Chu Yu's eyes became more dim.
"Even those who respected me very much left after I became sensible, and I never saw them again. I asked my uncle, and my uncle said that they had completed the task and had given rewards."
Xu Bai: "..."
Reward?
Bullshit reward
From what he saw, all these people were silenced. After all, Chu Yu's identity was top secret at that time.
"By the way, try it." Chu Yu quickly recovered her mood. Obviously, this was not the first time she had encountered such things. She hurriedly pulled Xu Bai's sleeve and walked to the dining table.
"This, this, and this!"
She pointed at three dishes and began to introduce them to Xu Bai. How were they made?
She praised them to the sky, as if she was a god of cooking.
In front of Xu Bai, there was a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a plate of stir-fried green beans.
"Where did you find these ingredients?" Xu Bai asked.
Chu Yu pointed to the kitchen and said, "There are still a lot of them there. It seems that they were all left there before."
Xu Bai looked in the direction of Chu Yu's hand, his face darkened slightly.
Chu Yu was frightened and quickly retracted his hand, thinking that he had offended Xu Bai, and lowered his head and dared not speak.
"Today I will teach you the first lesson. Never touch something you are unfamiliar with. If it is poisonous, it will harm you." Xu Bai said seriously.
In this regard, Xu Bai has always adhered to a principle, that is, to get paid for doing things.
Just like he did when he helped Liu Xu and Wu Hua before, and later helped Yun Zihai.
If you take the money but don't do the job, you can only rip off new customers. Only by taking the money and doing good things can you have endless repeat customers.
This kind of teaching is easy for Xu Bai to do.
Chu Yu saw that Xu Bai didn't say anything to her, but instead gave her a lesson, so she quickly took out a palm-sized notebook from her sleeve, took out a brush, and wrote it down, muttering as she wrote.
"Don't touch unfamiliar things..."
Her expression was very serious. Obviously, she had already planned to take notes, and this thing was definitely prepared in advance.
After Chu Yu finished writing, she put away the book and brush like a magic trick, and then continued to pull Xu Gai's sleeve and dragged him to the table.
"Young master, try it!" Chu Yu excitedly pointed at the dishes on the table.
From Xu Bai's perspective, the dishes were not poisonous.
But...
"You go first." Xu Bai said.
To be on the safe side, Chu Yu should eat first.
Chu Yu had a simple mind and didn't know what Xu Bai was planning. She quickly picked up her chopsticks and took a bite.
She took a bite of every dish, then nodded vigorously and squinted her eyes, as if she was enjoying it.
"Delicious."
This feeling was extremely far from occupying the high ground of IQ.
Xu Bai thought while taking a bite, and then his eyes lit up slightly.
It was really good. The taste couldn't be said to be particularly delicious, but it was very suitable for Xu Bai's taste.
With the rice, Xu Bai took two more bites.
At this time, Chu Yu also started to move his chopsticks.
When eating at the table, it is inevitable to chat. After all, just eating in silence seems quite boring.
Xu Bai took a few bites and said casually: "What is your ability? That day I saw you use a flower spear to block my knife, but before you left, you burned all the flower spears."
Chu Yu's strength should not be underestimated as he could block the two styles of breaking and breaking.
This was just a casual question while eating.
Chu Yu put down his chopsticks and waited until he swallowed the food in his mouth before answering: "The Taoist Wuxiang Heart Sutra, um... it's about tempering the heart. The stronger I temper it, the stronger I will be."
Xu Bai looked puzzled: "Put it in a more popular way."
Some things are too profound, and he can't understand them. After all, he is just a newbie.
Refining the heart?
What heart to refine?
This is a nonsense, so you can only listen to the general idea.
"Wuxiang Heart Sutra, maintain a flawless heart of Taoism, and experience the things of the world. The more you experience, the stronger you will be." Chu Yu tilted his head and said: "As for the means of attack, it's just whatever you want. When I blocked your knife, I felt the danger, so I blocked it as I wanted, and it was directly blocked."
Xu Bai nodded silently, ate a mouthful of food expressionlessly, but he had other thoughts in his heart.
Do whatever you want, it sounds so cool.
And there is also a flawless heart of Taoism, which always feels very fantasy.
"Is your personality caused by this cultivation method?" Xu Bai asked as if he had thought of something.
Flawless, combined with Chu Yu's personality, it is easy to associate them together.
"My uncle said that it was not the Wuxiang Heart Sutra that created my personality, but my personality that created the Wuxiang Heart Sutra." Chu Yu explained: "The so-called flawless means colorless and shapeless, and it can transform into all things. No matter how much my personality changes, my original personality will always be flawless."
"In other words, if your personality changes because of me, it will not have any effect on your strength." Xu Bai thought.
Chu Yu nodded vigorously and used chopsticks to move the rice in the bowl: "It should have no effect."
Xu Bai took another bite of rice, and it was really delicious.
He took a few bites of rice with this dish, and when he was almost done, Xu Bai put down his chopsticks.
"After you finish eating, clean up the food. I will give you a lesson and tell you the rules of the martial arts world."
When Chu Yu heard that he was going to have a lesson, his eyes lit up with excitement and he nodded vigorously.
The two of them quickly finished the food, and Chu Yu also excitedly cleaned up the dishes on the table, without any royal character.
After everything was packed up, Chu Yu took the small notebook and the brush, moved a small stool, and sat in front of Xu Bai.
Chu Yu put the small notebook on her knees with her long legs together, raised her head, stared at Xu Bai with bright eyes, and pretended to listen obediently.
Xu Bai didn't say much, after thinking about it, he used himself as an example and began to explain to Chu Yu.
...
In the days to come, Xu Bai had to explain to Chu Yu every day, and sometimes asked Chu Yu to answer questions.
In addition, he just worked on the progress bar every day, and it was like this every day, over and over again.
It is worth mentioning that Chu Yu learned things very quickly, and his attitude was very serious. He learned Xu Bai's teaching very well.
But Xu Bai always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't say it specifically. Until one day, when he looked at Chu Yu's eyes, which were still the same as before, he finally understood what was wrong.
Every day is a systematic explanation, in the end, it is still just talk on paper. If Chu Yu is not allowed to experience these things in person, it will always be just "learning from books is always shallow".
And the second half "to know this matter, you must practice it yourself" needs to be verified by practice, otherwise, it will always stay in the book.
After thinking about it, Xu Bai couldn't find a place to practice for the time being, so he put it aside for the time being.
During this period, the postmen did not bring anything with a progress bar, which was quite boring.
It is worth mentioning that Yun Zihai came once during this period and said that there were some signs, but at present, it is not appropriate to alarm the snake. Once there is news, it will be informed in time.
Of course, he also saw Chu Yu.
Of course, Yun Zihai didn't know who Chu Yu was. After all, she was protected by the emperor, and very few people in the world knew about it.
At that time, Yun Zihai was directly shocked.
"Brother Xu, where did you get a sixth-grade master? "
These were the original words at the time. Xu Bai was also surprised that this silly girl turned out to be a sixth-grade master.
However, Xu Bai concealed Chu Yu's identity and just said that he picked her up in a forest.
When you talk, it is easiest to make others believe whether it is true or false.
Of course, Yun Zihai didn't believe it, and even felt that Xu Bai was insulting his IQ, but it was obvious that Xu Bai was hiding the other party's identity, and Yun Zihai didn't ask.
They are all smart people. Who doesn't have some secrets these days? If you ask about secrets when you encounter them, how can you make friends?
So Yun Zihai just informed the news at the time and left immediately, and he didn't see him again during this period of time.
The only thing that Xu Bai is happy about is that Zixiao Yushu is finally almost finished.
On this day, the weather was clear and cloudless. The whole sky looked extremely comfortable. At a glance, Go, it's vast and boundless.
Xu Bai moved the recliner to the yard outside. Next to him, Chu Yu sat on a small bench, leaned her head on the handle of the recliner, and looked up at the small notebook.
On it were the lessons Xu Bai taught. She wrote down all the contents. This small notebook was almost full.
Chu Yu was reading and mumbling, as if she couldn't read it without reading it out loud.
Xu Bai ignored Chu Yu and stared at the Zixiao Yushu in his hand. As the progress bar increased little by little, his excitement grew.
After a while, the last bit of the progress bar was finally completed, and then light blue smoke appeared.
Only Xu Bai could see the light blue smoke. When he appeared, it immediately gathered in the air. In the blink of an eye, it gathered into a line of light blue text.
[You observe the Zixiao Yushu and comprehend the Zixiao Yushu. ]
"This may be the most symmetrical. "Xu Bai thought to himself.
Looking back at the things he had observed before, he often observed one thing but comprehended another. This was the first time he had observed Zixiao Yushu and comprehended Zixiao Yushu like this.
After the light blue text appeared, it did not stay for long. It disappeared in the blink of an eye. At the same time, new text appeared again.
[Found options that can be merged. Merging is in progress.]
[Zixiao Yushu + Reversing Yin and Yang = Reversing Zixiao and Yin and Yang.]
"It's done! "Xu Bai said secretly.
After the fusion was successful, the light blue text turned into information, drilled into Xu Bai's mind, and disappeared.
The next moment, the latest attribute panel appeared in front of him.
[Name: Xu Bai.]
[Realm: Fifth-grade wanderer.]
[Broken Two Styles (Level 3): Full Level.]
[Reversing Purple Sky and Chaotic Yin and Yang (Level 5): Full Level.]
[Maple Leaves Like Rain (Level 2): Full Level.]
[Four-step Method (Level 3): Full Level.]
[The Shift of 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).]
……
When the new attribute panel appeared, the next moment, the true energy in his body began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Grade 7... Grade 6... Grade 5!
After reaching the fifth grade, the growth rate of the true energy slowly decreased.
Xu Bai sensed it and found that the true energy had filled his whole body. If it continued to increase and reached the fourth grade, his body might not be able to bear it.
"Maybe when it reaches the fourth grade, it will be a qualitative change." He thought to himself.
Find a time, he must ask Yun Zihai about the various classifications of grades. This is the most basic thing, and he must figure it out.
Thinking of this, he suppressed this idea and chewed the information in his mind carefully.
After inheriting the characteristics of other mental methods, the inverted purple sky chaos has added a kind of power called borrowing, which can borrow the power of heaven and earth to increase his strength by 20%.
However, this ability consumes a lot of true energy. Fortunately, he has the kidney strengthening method, which is equivalent to a mobile true energy storage depot, which can still be used.
The ability to take advantage of the situation, switch between reality and illusion, and fight in groups has made this mental method very practical, and it is becoming more and more seamless.
Xu Bai was very satisfied. He turned his head subconsciously and saw Chu Yu's face was dull.
"Master, you... have a breakthrough?"
Chu Yu was completely confused. Just after a lunch break, he broke through to a higher level than her. Is this reasonable?
She could feel that Xu Bai's aura was difficult to conceal at the moment of the breakthrough, and it was stronger than her.
Fifth grade?
Unbelievable.
"No wonder it has such a high evaluation." Chu Yu was stunned.
Xu Bai raised his hand and knocked on Chu Yu's head: "Routine operation, continue reading your book."
Chu Yu covered her head and dared not say a word. She continued to read the contents of the book with grievance.
At this time, Xu Bai had just withdrawn his hand when he heard a noise in his ear.
"Puff..."
The character Chu Yu is very important for the sequel. I originally wanted to introduce her later, but then I thought about it and worried that it would slow down the pace, so I introduced her earlier.
