Chapter 91 The Clay Sculpture Opens Its Eyes and Murders Emerge (8000, Monthly Ticket Requested)

Before coming in, Xu Bai thought of many possibilities, such as a fierce battle, or someone was escaping, or at worst, using courtesy before force.

The worst case scenario is that there are a bunch of people waiting for them inside.

But obviously, his guess is not true.

When he kicked the door open and walked in with Yun Zihai, he found that it was empty and there was no one inside.

The yard was dark, and there was no sound except for a breeze from time to time.

Yun Zihai looked at Xu Bai, rotated the brush in his hand, and drew a horizontal line in the air.

After the horizontal line appeared, it floated in the air without any waves.

"The surrounding barriers have not been breached. Either there is no one or they are still inside." Yun Zihai waved his sleeves and wiped off the horizontal line in front of him.

Behind the door, in addition to a yard, there is a simple hall. The door of the hall is also open. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, you can see a clay Buddha in the hall.

The courtyard was empty and could be seen to the end at a glance. Obviously, there was nothing unusual here.

Since there was nothing in the courtyard, there was only the main hall in front of him.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go in and take a look?"

Yun Zihai thought about it, clenched the brush in his hand, and nodded, "Okay."

The pages of the book floated around his body, wrapping him layer by layer.

There were no other clues now, only the main hall was left, and they could only go in and take a look.

Xu Bai used his true energy, and the black light of the Vajra Heart Demon Body became more conspicuous.

The two looked at each other and walked out of the hall together.

The clay Buddha sitting in the hall was very simple, as if a shape was made casually, and then a simple carving was made on its head.

The carving technique was very simple, and the facial features were very ordinary and looked very rough. If it weren't for the position of the facial features, it would be difficult to tell what it specifically referred to.

It was like a five or six-year-old child casually smeared on it with his hands.

Of course, only the eyes were carved in detail, and other than that, there was nothing unusual about this clay Buddha.

The eyes were closed, presenting the appearance of a Buddha with closed eyes.

"Brother Xu, it's not good." Yun Zihai turned his head and said, "I know who this so-called monk is."

Xu Bai said nothing, and his hand holding the ghost-head knife tightened.

When Yun Zihai said the word "not good" just now, he felt that there was a faint murderous intent surrounding him, and the darkness around him became deeper and deeper under the stirring of the murderous intent.

Just this murderous intent can make you feel what the so-called "not good" means. Xu Bai looked around a few times, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Many things put on the surface will not produce too much sense of crisis, but the crisis hidden in the dark is the most troublesome.

"Here." Yun Zihai pointed to the clay sculpture sitting high in the temple and said, "Ghost Sculptor."

Xu Bai looked along Yun Zihai's hand, and his eyes just stopped at the position of the clay Buddha statue.

At this time, he did not ask carefully what the so-called ghost sculptor meant, because he felt that this clay Buddha statue had a particularly obvious change.

Other places were not particularly obvious, except for the pair of eyes that were carved very delicately, which slowly opened in the darkness.

The eyes were originally closed, giving people a very peaceful feeling. In addition, because it was a Buddha statue, it would not only give people a peaceful feeling, but also make people feel peaceful.

But as the eyes of the clay Buddha slowly opened, the peaceful feeling disappeared, replaced by a murderous aura.

The murderous aura spread throughout the hall, and Xu Bai finally knew where the vague murderous intent came from.

The clay statue opened its eyes, and the murderous intent was revealed!

The murderous aura surged like a tide, and Xu Bai felt cold all around.

The ground began to shake, and he set his eyes on the yard.

The yard that originally looked very ordinary had cracks, and clay statues crawled out one after another.

These clay statues were vivid, with unusually flexible joints, and most importantly, each clay statue looked different.

You should know that when carving clay sculptures, the division of appearance is very important. To make each clay sculpture different, it takes time to carve.

This group of clay sculptures gave Xu Bai the feeling that they were more like real people.

"Brother Xu, be careful!" Yun Zihai reminded.

As he finished speaking, the clay Buddha statue in the hall suddenly changed.

The cracks were as dense as spider webs, and the clay Buddha statue was covered with cracks all over its body. In the blink of an eye, it turned into yellow soil all over the ground.

But after turning into yellow soil, the murderous aura not only did not decrease, but became higher, just from the clay Buddha statue to the clay sculptures outside.

The bright moonlight sprinkled down, and the silver light covered the clay sculptures, giving people an unusually weird feeling.

At this moment, this group of clay sculptures moved, and rushed towards Xu Bai and Yun Zihai with a murderous aura.

Dozens of clay sculptures actually rushed out with the momentum of thousands of troops.

Yun Zihai took the lead, waving the brush gently in his hand, and the pages around his body rustled. The words on the pages emerged from the pages and suppressed the group of clay sculptures in front of him.

But the clay sculptures seemed invulnerable. The words fell on them, stirring up dust, and the damage caused was limited.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and clenched the ghost-head knife in his hand.

He was still very clear about Yun Zihai's strength.

The attack just now was extraordinary, but the defense of the clay sculpture was surprisingly high.

It caused damage, but looking at the situation, it has to be carefully polished.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai followed closely, performing the four-step method, and slashed the clay sculpture in front with a knife.

A cloud of dust flew, and Xu Bai frowned.

He used the move of breaking the first move just now.

The armor-breaking effect of the breaking first move can be said to be unexpected, but it has little effect on the clay sculpture.

There is an effect, but it is not obvious. The defense of this group of clay sculptures is really amazing.

At this time, the clay sculptures have also completed the encirclement, blocking all the retreat routes around.

"Brother Xu, it seems to be wrong. Their speed is very slow." Yun Zihai said: "But the defense is amazing, and..."

The words were not finished, because then, a bigger change appeared.

Layers of soil rose from the ground, forming an extremely huge barrier, covering the entire sky. When the soil was combined, it became a closed space.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

Just now, Yun Zihai said that the speed was very slow, and it was indeed very slow. It was impossible to touch their edge at this speed.

But now there is a sudden change. Do you want to trap them here?

Xu Bai suddenly thought of something and said: "Don't you think the things here are very much aimed at someone? It can be said that it is a good time to kill and silence them."

Yun Zihai heard this and said almost without hesitation: "Thousand-faced Poison King!"

After Xu Bai's reminder, he also thought of the clues.

What is the Thousand-Faced Poison King good at?

Disguise, poison and body movements.

But the most skilled attack method is poison, which is extremely harmful to living people, but the clay sculptures in front of him are different.

They have extremely high defense and are not living people, so the poison attack has little damage to them.

Even if the speed is very slow and can't touch people, the Thousand-Faced Poison King can't break their defense, not to mention that even if he can slowly grind them to death, there is still a layer of sealed soil on them.

But if you change to someone with greater destructive power, or a more intuitive attack method, the situation in front of you will be much alleviated.

The ghost sculptor wants to kill people to silence them.

If the Thousand-Faced Poison King really succeeds, and returns to the temple, he will be greeted by the pile of clay sculptures in front of him and the soil that seals the sky.

"It seems that everyone has left." Yun Zihai said: "Brother Xu, the soil in the sky seems to be a bit wrong."

As he said this, Xu Bai also looked up.

In the sky, the soil was shrinking rapidly. At this speed, if it really collapsed, they would not only face the clay sculptures in front of them, but also the heavy pressure of the soil in the sky.

Thousand-faced Poison King was not good at defense either. He might be buried here after these two attacks.

"Since there is no other discovery, let's speed up." Xu Bai said.

After that, he put away the ghost-head knife, and the black light on his body became stronger.

"Come!"

With a loud shout, Xu Bai exerted force with his legs, like a meteor falling, and fell into the clay sculpture.

The surrounding clay sculptures rushed towards him, and the first clay sculpture that touched him was hit by the black light and turned into dust in an instant.

The outermost layer of the clay sculpture was directly broken, and then a pale person was revealed.

Rather than saying it was a person, it was better to say it was a corpse, because the person in front of him had stopped breathing.

Judging from the clothes, it was like what ordinary people wore.

"Making clay sculptures with living people?" Xu Bai was slightly stunned.

The surrounding clay sculptures took advantage of this time and rushed over.

Xu Bai did not move at all, and waved his hands under the operation of his true energy.

All the attacks were resolved and extended from another direction at the same time.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

A series of broken sounds were dense as rain, and the clay sculptures in front of him attacked each other under the traction of the stars.

Using clay sculptures to fight against clay sculptures, the damage increased sharply.

Xu Bai's kidneys exuded true energy, and then he performed the four-step method, opening and closing between the clay sculptures.

All the attacks were pulled away by him and fell on another clay sculpture. Under the inversion, the clay sculptures were crooked and the soil on their bodies began to break.

In the sky, the soil that was pressed down was still slowly settling.

Yun Zihai saw that Xu Bai had already started a violent attack, and he did not fall behind.

This genius disciple of the academy, who was compared by the emperor of the Great Chu State to a person with amazing potential, slowly raised the brush in his hand.

The brush floats in the air, and Yun Zihai closes his eyes.

Words fell from the pages of the book, and then merged into the brush.

"Get up!"

Yun Zihai suddenly opened his eyes, and the floating brush in front of him began to tremble, and then it seemed to turn into a sharp sword, passing through the clay sculpture.

Every time it passed through, the clay sculpture fell to the ground, and the outer layer of mud fell off, revealing the corpse inside.

With the text blending brush, the aura of righteousness surged.

The two men killed the clay sculptures at a fast speed. In a blink of an eye, the pile of clay sculptures in front of them had been completely destroyed, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Xu Bai stopped, raised his head, looked at the mud barrier in the sky, and squinted his eyes.

In the mud barrier, there were twisted shapes protruding, which were human shapes, and there were corpses hidden inside.

"Ghost sculptor, how dare you commit such a murder in such a prosperous era!" Yun Zihai opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of anger.

The corpses on the ground and the mud barrier in the sky, I don’t know how many people died to create such a trap.

He himself took it as his responsibility to govern the world, and when he saw this, he was furious.

"Anger will make a person lose his composure, let's solve the current problems first." Xu Bai said.

Yun Zihai was of course aware that he was just speaking out of his feelings.

After Xu Bai's reminder, Yun Zihai extended his index finger and pointed at the soil in the sky.

The brush wrapped one piece of text after another, like a meteor across the night sky, stirring up the soil.

On the other side, Xu Bai's attack was simpler and more direct. He bent his knees slightly, and at the same time, his legs exerted force, and he was like a cannonball, hitting the soil hard.

After the attacks of the two merged together, the soil shattered inch by inch, and could no longer collapse, turning into countless fragments and falling to the ground.

Xu Bai fell from the sky, making a bang, and the ground shook slightly.

Before he could speak, Yun Zihai spoke first.

"Brother Xu, if this man is not removed, Shengxian will not be at peace."

Xu Bai turned his eyes and looked at the corpses on the ground, and nodded: "The ability of the ghost sculptor should be to bury people in clay sculptures."

From what he saw and heard just now, he had guessed something.

Yun Zihai said: "This man is one of the wanted targets of the Great Chu State. He is a branch of the sculptor. There are high-powered people who can sculpt everything in the world. It was originally a righteous way, but he sealed living people and living things in it, and fell into the evil way from then on."

Xu Bai got the answer, which was similar to his guess. He took another look at the corpses, walked to one of the corpses, and searched carefully.

This was not for him to search for good things, but to see if there were any clues.

Yun Zihai saw Xu Bai's approach and understood what Xu Bai was doing. He paused for a moment and followed suit.

After about half an incense stick of time, Xu Bai stopped in front of one of the corpses.

On the other side, Yun Zihai searched many corpses and found nothing. After seeing Xu Bai stop, he immediately walked over.

"Did you find anything?"

Not far in front of Xu Bai, the corpse was no different from other corpses.

But Yun Zihai was also very careful, following Xu Bai's gaze, and fell on the right hand of the corpse.

The corpse's right hand was clenched into a fist, and there seemed to be something inside.

"What is this?" Yun Zihai lowered his head, opened the clenched right hand of the corpse, and found a torn piece of paper inside.

The paper was slightly yellow, only the size of a thumb, and was held inside, so it was unclear from the outside what was inside.

Due to the tight grip, the paper had become a ball of paper. When Yun Zihai opened the ball of paper in front of him, his brows furrowed tightly.

"A corner of the map?"

There were some routes on it, obviously a map, but because the paper was too small, it was impossible to tell where the mark was.

Xu Bai said: "It seems that this person left us some clues before he died."

According to his own speculation, this person must have struggled before he died, and then tore off this small part of the map and held it in his palm until it was made into a clay sculpture.

The ghost sculptor didn't find it, but it became a clue.

"Brother Xu, let's hurry back to Sheng County. There is a map in Sheng County. I can check it one by one." Yun Zihai seemed to think of something and turned his head and said.

If this is really a map, he can indeed find it in this way. As long as he can find it, he will have a clear goal.

"Let's go."

It was getting darker and darker. Xu Bai and Yun Zihai searched in the temple again. After not finding any other clues, the two left here and rushed back to Sheng County.

...

Sheng County.

County government.

Yun Zihai lit the oil lamp on the table and took out a thick map from the cabinet next to it.

"Is this the map of Sheng County?" Xu Bai asked.

"In addition to Sheng County, there are also surrounding counties. What I think is that since the other party is doing something here, there must be clues, and the range is also in these places." Yun Zihai opened the map.

The map is very large, filling the entire paper table.

"Wait a moment." Yun Zihai said to Xu Bai, and then he lowered his head to look for the lines on the paper.

Xu Bai found a place to sit down, poured himself some tea, and waited while drinking. He was quite bored while waiting, so he took out the Hundred Poisons Sutra from his arms and looked at the progress bar.

To be honest, he was still very interested in this book.

Just by looking at the cover with the words "Hundred Poisons Sutra", he had a rough idea of ​​what was inside.

Poison was still very useful to him.

As the saying goes, if you often walk in the rivers and lakes, you will get your shoes wet. When you walk in the rivers and lakes, you are not afraid of those upright means, but the dirty tricks.

Poisoning is just one of them.

Xu Bai thought that if he could improve this progress bar, he would not only have the ability to prevent poison, but also the ability to poison.

——My knife is stained with poison.jpg

With this idea, Xu Bai's interest became higher and higher.

The night was getting deeper and deeper.

This wait lasted for a full hour.

Xu Bai was working hard when he heard Yun Zihai's voice.

"I didn't find it." Yun Zihai put away the map in front of him and shook his head.

Xu Bai put down the Hundred Poisons Sutra in his hand and said, "It seems that what is depicted on it is not a map."

Yun Zihai nodded: "I have to think about it carefully, what exactly it represents."

Now there is only this clue, which is very important to them and must not be given up easily.

Xu Bai pondered for a moment, stood up from the chair, and said: "If you have thought it through, tell me and come to the escort agency to find me."

Yun Zihai was stunned: "Brother Xu, don't you live in the county government?"

Xu Bai shook his head and said: "No, I'd better go back to the escort agency. I have to find a quiet place now to sort out what I got today."

The progress bar is very secretive.

Especially when working on the progress bar, Xu Bai doesn't want to get too close to smart people, so as not to be seen.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, such as Wuhua's head, he prefers to work alone quietly.

Yun Zihai pondered what Xu Bai said and felt that it was right.

"If I find anything, I will tell Brother Xu as soon as possible. Brother Xu will help me at that time. I will be very grateful."

Xu Bai waved his hand: "I always do things by paying money and delivering goods. Since you have made a promise, I will help you."

The two of them talked again, and roughly arranged how to prepare for the follow-up, and Xu Bai left the county government.

After Xu Bai left, Yun Zihai took out the lamp oil, refilled the oil lamp in front of him, and continued to search on the bookshelf in the house.

...

The next day.

After a night's rest, Xu Bai recovered a lot of energy.

He got up early today, but he did not continue to work on the progress bar. Instead, he walked out of the escort agency and came to the street.

Along this street, he walked familiarly and soon came to the Qian family's herbal medicine shop.

After the series of battles last night, he used the Diamond Heart Demon Body and the Star Shift, and his kidneys' true energy was depleted. Today was the time to replenish it.

The situation was tense now, and he didn't know when something unexpected would happen. Only adequate preparation could give him the upper hand to defeat the enemy.

In the surprised eyes of the shopkeeper, Xu Bai bought another large bag of kidney-tonifying herbs, and then left neatly.

He had a meal on the way, and after returning to the escort agency, he returned to the room in the backyard, closed the door, and then opened the cloth wrapped with herbs.

"Let's get started!" Xu Bai rubbed his hands, picked up a piece of herb, and stuffed it into his mouth.

After the continuous transformation of the kidney-strengthening method, each piece of herb entered the abdomen, turned into essence, and was gradually absorbed by the kidneys.

After about an incense stick of time, the true energy lost by the kidneys was replenished again.

Xu Bai stretched, wrapped the remaining herbs, put them under the bed, and took out the Hundred Poisons Sutra to continue to improve the progress bar.

On his side, things were going on as usual, and outside the escort agency, there was a man standing outside, looking at the escort agency in front of him, with a strange smile on his face.

This man was wearing a silk suit, and he looked like a rich kid.

He was not very old, probably only in his twenties, but he had a shrewd aura flowing through him.

His appearance was not very outstanding, just an ordinary one. If it weren't for this luxurious dress, even if he was thrown into the crowd, he would be drowned like a stone sinking into the sea.

The young man in brocade stood at the door of the escort agency, stayed for about half an incense stick, and then raised his foot and walked towards the escort agency.

Inside the escort agency, the escorts were still practicing their moves. Some of them noticed someone coming in and hurried up.

"This young man, are you here to ask for escort?" The escort had a good eye. He saw that the young man had an extraordinary aura and was thinking whether to move up a little in terms of price.

These days, there are cases of overcharging customers in everything, and the escort agency is no exception.

The so-called overcharging is to take advantage of the information gap when seeing that the customer does not understand the market, or to say monopolize.

Who knew that the young man in brocade clothes did not answer him, but walked straight to the backyard.

"What are you doing! That is where the escort master lives, who told you to barge in?" The escort also found that something was wrong, and hurriedly chased after him, grabbing the young man in brocade clothes by the arm.

But as soon as his hand touched the young man in brocade clothes, he felt a strong force coming, and he was thrown to the ground.

This movement naturally caught the attention of all the escorts.

The escorts looked at each other, and finally focused their attention on Liu Er.

Liu Er frowned, with a long sword on his waist, and strode towards the young man in brocade clothes.

If someone looked closely at the side, they would find that Liu Er's walking posture and the way his hand was placed on the handle of the long sword were very similar to Xu Bai's posture.

Sometimes it is like this, when a person admires another person very much, he will unconsciously imitate the various postures of that person.

Liu Er certainly admired Xu Bai, and even unconsciously imitated Xu Bai's movements in daily life.

When he came closer, Liu Er blocked him in the middle.

"Sir, the escort agency is not a place to go anywhere. If you have business, just come and talk to us. Our escort master lives in the back, and you can't offend him easily."

Liu Er thought that he was still an escort, so he tried to speak smoothly and not offend anyone.

The young man in brocade stopped and looked Liu Er up and down, showing a curious expression: "I didn't expect that in a remote county, a small escort agency would have a martial artist who entered the rank."

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Er's expression suddenly changed.

The other party actually discovered his identity, so there was something to talk about.

"Don't be surprised, I just came here to talk to your escort master. Some things are better to talk face to face. Do you understand this way of talking?" The young man in brocade said with a smile.

Liu Er clenched the long knife in his hand: "You wait here, I will go to the escort master and see what he says."

The young man in brocade clothes heard this, but he didn't say much, just nodded and stopped quietly.

Liu Er turned around, entered the backyard, came to the door of Xu Bai's room, and knocked gently.

"Come in."

After getting the order, he pushed the door open.

Seeing Xu Bai sitting on a chair with a book in his hand, he quickly lowered his head and explained the situation he had just encountered.

After hearing what Liu Er said, Xu Bai put down the Hundred Poisons Sutra in his hand, put his elbow on the table, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he waved his hand: "Let him in."

At this time, someone came to him, and it was someone he didn't know, which was very interesting. He wanted to see who it was.

Liu Er quickly agreed, and without hesitation, he turned around and went to the front yard.

After arriving at the front yard, he told the young man in brocade clothes that he could go in, but not to make trouble inside.

The young man in brocade clothes just smiled and stepped into the backyard, followed the road in the backyard, and walked to the door of the room.

The door of the backyard was closed when Liu Er left. The young man in brocade clothes came to the door, raised his hand, held his sleeve with his other hand, and knocked on the door gently.

The whole process was full of courtesy. Even when knocking on the door, he had to hold his sleeve with one hand. If you look closely, you will find that this young man in brocade clothes has received a good education.

Sometimes, the momentum of a person is difficult to imitate completely.

The young man in brocade clothes not only has a shrewd momentum, but also nobleness.

"Come in."

Xu Bai's voice came from the room.

The young man in brocade clothes pushed the door open, closed the door, and bowed to Xu Bai and said, "Meet Master Xu."

He had a smile on his face. If an unrelated person was here, at first glance, he would think that he and Xu Bai had a very good relationship.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping his fingers on the table, very rhythmically: "Who are you? What do you want to see me for?"

The question was direct and straightforward.

At this time, Xu Bai didn't want to beat around the bush, and he would just come out in the open if he had anything to say.

"Master Xu is really a straightforward person, so I will just say it directly. It seems that the killer of the Yun family has been dealt with by Master Xu himself." The young man in brocade clothes smiled.

As he finished this sentence, the scene fell into silence.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Xu Bai said calmly: "What Yun family? I don't understand a word of what you said."

"Master Xu, don't lie in front of smart people. That killer is more than enough to deal with Qingxue, but he died. As far as I know, Qingxue came to find you, and in Sheng County, except for Yun Zihai, only you have this ability." The young man in brocade clothes said slowly, feeling that everything was in his hands.

At this moment, Xu Bai moved.

He turned into a black light and rushed towards the young man in brocade clothes, while the ghost-head knife on his waist flashed coldly.

The young man in brocade clothes also reacted quickly, his hands kept moving, and shadows appeared in the air and pressed towards Xu Bai.

This shadow was like a cloud or fog. Waves of white fog appeared on the young man in brocade clothes, filling the room in an instant, and the young man in brocade clothes disappeared in the fog.

The shadow fell on Xu Bai, and at this time, the black light cracked, but did not break.

At the same time, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi appeared, and in an instant, the shadow moved in all directions.

"Bang!"

A muffled hum sounded, and the surrounding fog disappeared. The young man in brocade clothes took two steps back, his face full of surprise.

"The Infinite Dao Sutra? Or something else?"

Blood flowed from the corner of the young man's mouth.

Just now, he did not expect that Xu Bai had that kind of magical ability to counterattack all his attacks, so he suffered a loss.

In that confrontation, he had been slightly injured.

Xu Bai held the ghost-head knife upside down, performed the four-step method, and opened and closed it.

"What tricks are you playing with me?"

The tone was contemptuous and mocking, and mixed with endless murderous intent.

The ghost-head knife wrapped in black light chopped towards the young man in brocade clothes from top to bottom.

If this knife hits hard, it can cut the young man in brocade clothes in two.

As he watched, the knife was about to fall.

At this moment, the young man in brocade clothes suddenly reached into his arms, took out a token, and then said a sentence in the fastest tone of his life.

"I am the military advisor under the command of the Sixth Prince, and I am here to make friends with you!"

This sentence was said very quickly. When the voice just fell, the ghost-head knife was only an inch away from the forehead of the young man in brocade clothes.

Cold sweat flowed down the head of the young man in brocade clothes. He didn't even blink, and the nobleness just now disappeared.

Terrible.

The murderous aura at that moment made him understand that the other party really intended to kill him directly. If he hadn't said this sentence at the critical moment, he would have become a corpse now.

"Fortunately, fortunately." The young man in brocade clothes let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his luxurious sleeves.

At this time, Xu Bai sheathed his sword, returned to his seat, and took a sip of tea.

His leisurely and contented look was completely different from the murderous and god-like look at the beginning.

Xu Bai put down his teacup, smacked his lips, and said leisurely: "Sixth Prince wants to make friends with me?"
