Chapter 203: Trip to Dai Viet (8000)

Xu Bai thought that King Shengyou was talking to him about other things, but he didn't expect that in the end, they talked about Liu Qingfeng.

In fact, there are all kinds of news about Liu Qingfeng, but in the end, Xu Bai only knew part of it.

It is said that his madness is due to his self-created immortal body, and later he wanted to study the method of immortal soul.

In the end, he lost his soul and reached the current situation.

At least everyone said so at present, but now King Shengyou told him that there is another meaning, which aroused his curiosity.

Xu Bai didn't say anything because he knew King Shengyou would say it.

The beginning has been opened, and it would be inappropriate not to continue.

Sure enough, after just waiting for a little while, King Shengyou continued to speak and continued to talk along the previous beginning.

"His state is actually the reason for his self-created skills, but it is related to a place." King Shengyou said slowly.

With such a sentence, Xu Bai was a little confused.

It is not because of the reason of creating the technique by himself, but it is related to a place?

What place is it?

Where did he go to lose his soul and become a fool?

Xu Bai suddenly had a guess, maybe he had a clue.

"In fact, it was only discovered recently because we got a fragment of a book he left behind, which recorded the process of this incident." King Shengyou put his hand to his mouth and coughed softly, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"It's a coincidence that the Jade Face Master gave me this thing after she found me. She said she got it by accident."

"I beat her up for you. Alas, I didn't expect that she would really regain her sanity and remember this matter."

"Before leaving, she took a lot of treasures from me, saying it was compensation."

Jade Face Master?

Such a familiar name, why do I seem to have heard it somewhere?

Xu Bai thought about it carefully and soon knew who it was. Isn't this the crazy female master?

This guy actually ran to the border while he was awake, and even gave King Shengyou a book.

It was indeed because of him that the female temple master was beaten by King Shengyou, and she was beaten badly and fled.

"What is recorded in the book?" Xu Bai asked.

The rest are irrelevant. Now Xu Bai is very curious about why Liu Qingfeng is in his current state.

King Shengyou did not continue to talk. He turned around and came to a cabinet. After searching in the cabinet for a while, he found a book and handed it to Xu Bai.

The meaning is to let Xu Bai read it himself. He can't explain it clearly, so it's better to read it directly, which is simpler and clearer.

Xu Bai did not hesitate or talk too much. After taking it, he opened the book. When he finished reading the whole book, he closed it silently and returned it to King Shengyou.

"So that's it."

What is recorded in the book is actually very simple. The reason why this guy wants to lose his soul is that he wants to enter the ghost city.

According to the book, Liu Qingfeng lacked the ability to repair his soul, so his soul could not be repaired like his immortal body.

So he was thinking about the solution, and soon, he thought of it.

At the beginning, he searched almost everywhere to find this kind of soul-related skills, but he couldn't find a suitable one, so he went back to look through ancient books and found a clue.

According to the ancient books, in a very long time ago, there was a person who had absolute control over the soul, and he might be able to solve the dilemma at that time.

But the people of that era had long died, so Liu Qingfeng thought of the Ghost City.

If he could enter the Ghost City, he might be able to find relevant clues.

This guy is also a ruthless person. He also knows that entering the Ghost City will wipe out all the souls, so he used an extremely cruel method, endured the severe pain to split his soul into two, stored one part in the outside world, and found a suitable opportunity to enter the Ghost City.

At this point, there is no record above, because the next thing is to enter the Ghost City, and it is estimated that an accident occurred at that time.

"Even if we went in, our souls would be gone in an instant, let alone him." King Shengyou said slowly.

"He was so smart that he thought that by splitting his soul into two, he could keep part of it. If he encountered danger, he could recover slowly after escaping."

"But he didn't expect that the reason why Guishi is Guishi is that there would be no loopholes for him to exploit. The moment he entered, everything was gone, and he became what he is now."

"After coming out, he instinctively wanted to find the most important thing for himself. He absorbed countless things related to the soul, and even absorbed the soul, but the rules of Guishi are like that. No matter how much he absorbs, it will dissipate."

Speaking of this, King Shengyou paused for a moment.

Xu Bai frowned, connected all the clues, and found that it seemed to be possible.

When he summoned Liu Qingfeng, Liu Qingfeng was slowly absorbing his soul.

But no matter how much he absorbed, it was like a broken bottle that leaked. How much he absorbed would be lost. This might be the reason why Liu Qingfeng entered the Gui City.

"The prince just said that I should not have too much contact with him. Will it be affected?" Xu Bai asked.

The records in this book and what King Shengyou said just now are all Liu Qingfeng's own actions, but no one else is involved.

But King Shengyou asked him not to have too much contact with Liu Qingfeng. Xu Bai guessed that there was an inside story.

King Shengyou nodded and asked back: "How much do you know about the rules of the Gui City?"

Xu Bai shook his head, indicating that he knew very little.

He had only been in twice in total, so he knew very little.

"Even if we don't know much, we all know that it is a terrible place." King Shengyou said.

"The so-called scary thing is not that the weirdness there is very strong, but the rule. Why don't I let you have too much contact with him, because no one can say for sure whether there will be any changes."

"Think about it, if you are in contact for a long time and you are also dragged into it, what will happen to your soul? You will become the same state as him."

"Although there is no evidence that this situation will occur, it is better to be careful and try not to have too much contact with him."

Xu Bai understood.

Although there is no example, everything must be prepared in advance.

However, for Xu Bai, he is not afraid of being dragged into the rules of the Weird City.

If he waits until his strength reaches a certain level and can protect himself, he even wants to be dragged in.

The last time he was dragged in, his progress bar was upgraded rapidly, and the golden finger directly accelerated. If it happens again, it will continue to accelerate, which is a very pleasant thing.

Of course, he couldn't say these things, let alone say them. He just nodded to show his understanding and said that he would never have too much contact with Liu Qingfeng.

King Shengyou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Xu Bai's answer.

There was no way, he could figure out many people's thoughts, but sometimes he just couldn't figure out Xu Baibai's thoughts.

Because Xu Bai's ideas were sometimes too jumpy, you could say he was jumpy or avant-garde.

This kind of thinking and personality is a good thing, after all, it won't make Xu Bai fall into a dull and pedantic state, but sometimes it is also a bad thing.

So as a senior, he must remind Xu Bai that such a talent must not be in trouble.

"By the way, I see that you seem to have something to say, what is it?" King Shengyou had said what he should say, and now he asked Xu Bai.

When he saw Xu Bai's expression just now, something was wrong.

Xu Bai changed the subject and asked about Sansheng Mountain.

There were still dozens of progress bars waiting for him there, and he didn't want to give up.

What's more, there were also speculations by the white-haired old man about the exhaustion of resources, and he wanted to take a look.

After hearing this, King Shengyou frowned and said, "I have never heard of Sansheng Mountain. Can you describe its general shape to me?"

From the extremely distant times to the present, perhaps many names have changed, and it is normal for King Shengyou not to know.

But for such a long time, for a mountain, its characteristics will not change too much.

Xu Bai gave a rough description.

If he were to find it by himself, it would be a difficult task, but King Shengyou was different.

When the Great Chu State was established, King Shengyou led the army's horses to every place.

So King Shenyou should know these mountains and rivers better than him.

"Towering into the clouds, steep mountain roads?" King Shengyou fell into deep thought, as if he was recalling, and shook his head after a long while.

"If you say the mountain road is steep, there are many features that fit your statement, but if you want to say it's towering into the clouds, there's none in the Great Chu Kingdom."

"In the Great Chu Kingdom, many mountains are not so high, and the terrain is not so complicated. If you really want to find it, maybe somewhere else."

Other places?

Even the Great Chu Kingdom doesn't have it, so what are the so-called other places? Xu Bai already knows very well.

"The Great Yue Kingdom? Or the Barbarians?"

There are only these three countries in the whole world, so apart from the Great Chu Kingdom, there are only two other parties left.

King Shengyou nodded and said, "The Great Yue Kingdom."

"In the area under their jurisdiction, the mountains and forests are high and steep, the woods are dense, and there are many places with dangerous terrain."

"If you want to find that kind of towering mountain, it's best to go there."

He was telling the truth. After all, the geographical form of each country is different. He couldn't conjure up a towering mountain for Xu Bai. If he really wanted to find it, he could only go to the Great Yue Kingdom.

The Barbarians can't have it. The terrain there is the simplest, that is, the flat terrain.

Xu Bai fell into deep thought.

If that's the case, he can only go to the Kingdom of Great Viet. He was wondering if this trip was worth it.

After thinking about it carefully, he slapped his thigh and decided.

Go!

This thing involves dozens of progress bars, and even involves the secrets of that era. If he doesn't go and take a look, he will feel very disappointed.

King Shengyou saw Xu Bai's actions and knew what Xu Bai was thinking.

"Do you really want to go? Do you know what kind of situation you will face after you go there with your current identity?"

"Let alone other things, I think the strongest people in the Kingdom of Great Viet will attack you and take your life directly."

This is absolutely true. Now in the Kingdom of Great Chu, almost no one dares to do anything to Xu Bai. Even if it is an assassination, it is impossible to send a master. After all, it is not certain whether he can get through the border.

So in the Kingdom of Great Chu, even if Xu Bai walks sideways with his eyes closed, no one cares about him.

The title of Prince Xu has also been completely implemented in the Kingdom of Great Chu. With this title, the rivers and lakes of the Kingdom of Great Chu have to give face.

Don't you see, before in the Buddhist sect, a token made all the monks shut up.

But in the Great Chu Kingdom, it was the Great Chu Kingdom. After leaving the Great Chu Kingdom, Xu Bai's identities were superimposed together, just like countless flags erected behind him.

It was just short of telling others blatantly, I'm here, come and kill me quickly.

And the Great Yue Kingdom would not care about his identity, and would rather kill him and let the Great Chu Kingdom lose an extremely important person.

Anyway, everyone has torn their faces, why didn't they start fighting, it's because no one is sure, and they don't want to let the third party take advantage.

So those who can use dirty tricks should use dirty tricks, and one person is one person.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "Disguise."

He took out the human skin mask from his arms. This was left to him by the Thousand Faces Female Thief. He was supposed to return it, but Xu Bai didn't want to return it now.

Even the Great Yue Kingdom's military god Bai Zhong and the deputy leader of the barbarians Gu Muyin didn't notice this thing on his face. It's really an excellent treasure.

So Xu Bai has already made a plan. This time, he may have to change his identity.

"Please ask the prince to talk to Senior Qianmian Female Thief and let me borrow this thing for a while. I will return it to him when the time comes." Xu Bai said.

Borrowing...

It's not taking.

This request is not excessive.

King Shengyou fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly said: "No need to tell him, I agree, you take it, you can go outside, it will also be good for you, but you must be careful."

"I thought the prince would not agree, after all, my identity is different now." Xu Bai said.

King Shengyou shook his head: "My idea is different from that of my elder brother. I always think that when a real talent appears, it is like an uncarved jade. It needs to be tempered by itself before it can shine brightly."

"A long time ago, I told you that you should have a broader vision and not just limit yourself to the Great Chu State. In this Great Chu State, you are now truly carefree, but if you really want the world to be afraid of you, you need to go out."

"It sounds like a particularly lonely thing to make the world afraid of you, but loneliness is better than losing your life."

Xu Bai smiled, put the mask back on his face, and said: "This time I go out, the follow-up matters need the help of the prince, and by the way, tell His Majesty that you must keep my news strictly blocked. I don't want to die after one trip."

King Shengyou nodded and agreed.

Of course they have to do these things well, after all, it is also to save Xu Bai's life.

King Shengyou subconsciously asked, "Is that thing important to you? Are you willing to take such a big risk?"

He just asked casually, and there was no need to pry into any secrets. If Xu Bai didn't want to say it, then forget it.

"It's very important." Xu Bai answered very confidently.

The progress bar from a distant era, and the secret about resource depletion.

When the two are superimposed, it is worth taking a little risk.

He only said these three words, and didn't explain the rest.

"When are you leaving?" King Shengyou asked.

Xu Bai thought about it and said, "Tonight, lightly travel."

The sooner the better, go earlier and come back earlier.

King Shengyou didn't say anything else. Since Xu Bai had already decided, he didn't say anything else, just report it directly to the higher-ups.

Of course, all this had to wait until Xu Bai left. If he told the higher-ups now and waited for the higher-ups to notify him, and then asked Xu Bai to leave, it was estimated that Xu Bai would not be able to leave.

He knew his elder brother best. His elder brother protected Xu Bai like a treasure. If he really followed the rules, Xu Bai might not be able to leave.

Of course, his elder brother would be angry and even scold him afterwards, but it didn't matter.

A real man should have his feet on the ground and his head on the sky, let his footprints spread all over the world and make his reputation far and wide. This is what a man should do.

What kind of man is it if he stays in one place every day?

Xu Bai left, and left very cleanly. Before leaving, he had changed his appearance and body shape, and changed his clothes.

He left quietly, and no one knew it, but before leaving, King Shengyou specially arranged a place for him.

His current identity is no longer Xu Bai, but a merchant who specializes in dealing in various things from the Great Yue Kingdom and the Great Chu Kingdom.

Even in times of war, these merchants still exist, so no one cares about them.

Xu Bai did not bring the first-grade puppet with him, because that thing is too annoying, and ordinary people can easily associate it with him after taking a look at it.

As long as there is a similarity with his previous identity, he may be exposed, so Xu Bai tried to avoid it.

A horse, a person.

He is not playing a master of the Transcendent Realm now, so he must bring a horse.

Now this lightly equipped appearance makes him feel nostalgic, as if he has returned to the time when he was riding a horse.

He didn't tell Chu Yu. After all, the fewer people who knew about this, the better.

Riding on a horse and enjoying the bumps on the horse, Xu Bai went all the way and finally came to a small town at the border.

Usually, merchants have to go through this place, so Xu Bai also went to the Kingdom of Daiyue from this place.

The inspection was particularly strict, and the defense here was very heavy. It can be said that this is the place with the most strict troops in the entire border.

Xu Bai didn't bring anything this time, just a human skin and a book, both of which were obtained from the ruins.

When he was inspected, he found an excuse to cover up these two things.

He didn't bring any goods, but a lot of money.

Xu Bai said that he went out to collect goods, not to sell goods, so this made sense.

Soon, he passed the inspection.

It must be said that there was something that played an important role during the inspection. Before leaving, King Shengyou gave it to him.

A pill.

This elixir can hide his strength for about ten days, and even a skilled master can't find it at all.

However, after ten days, the effect of the medicine will be gone, but it doesn't matter to Xu Bai.

At that time, it will be easy for him to find a place and change his identity.

It is also easy to turn himself into a person in the industry.

Soon, he passed the inspection and followed hundreds of people towards the direction of Dai Viet.

These are all merchants, and they are all going to Dai Viet for business.

For things like crossing mountains and ridges, people naturally like to stick together, and Xu Bai doesn't want to show his abnormality, so he follows behind.

It's not Yinyi, but Guanyi. After all, these people are not people in the industry, they are just merchants.

There are a lot of people, some merchants are carrying goods, carriages, etc., some people are walking, and some people are riding horses, so the crowd is naturally divided into several parts because of the speed.

Xu Bai rode on a horse, and naturally walked with people who had horses and carriages.

Some carriages also hired some people in the industry as protection. In this world, money is also very important, and even people in the industry are not immune to it.

Xu Bai rode on the horse and followed silently. After all, the official post station is much more open than the Yin post station that goes to those deserted places.

Some merchants are familiar with each other because they often do this business, and they chat in groups of three or two.

Xu Bai didn't speak. His face was very deep. Of course, it is normal for a businessman to have some unfamiliar faces.

He didn't speak, but it didn't mean that no one would talk to him. It is the nature of merchants to pursue profits. At this time, most of the people going to Daiyue are sellers, and there are very few purchases.

Few means special, not to mention going to purchase. Why go to purchase without profit?

So some sharp-eyed merchants set their sights on these people who went to purchase, looking for opportunities to chat with them, trying to find some business opportunities.

"Brother, I have been walking on this road for so long, but I have never seen you. It seems that this is your first time to do this business." A middle-aged businessman wearing silk and satin, riding a horse, followed Xu Bai.

Although this middle-aged businessman looks bloated, he is actually an excellent horseman.

There are risks in doing anything, and the risk of business is even greater. The simplest one is those bandits who rob the road.

Sometimes, in order to save your life, this horsemanship is necessary.

Xu Bai didn't want to pay attention, but due to his current status, he still agreed from time to time. However, if he mentioned some business opportunities, he would keep silent.

There is a shitty business opportunity, these people are very accurate, and if I make one up casually, I am afraid there will be loopholes, so I simply don't mention it.

It is best not to bring it up at this time, after all, no one wants to let their profits slip away.

The middle-aged businessman is called Qian Lai, a very vulgar name.

Seeing that Xu Fan didn't speak, he aroused his interest and talked endlessly.

He even guaranteed that if Xu Bai could tell the truth, the profits from their cooperation in this business would definitely be higher than now.

Don't trust the businessman's mouth, that mouth can tell the moon in the sky. Xu Bai just promised, but there was no substantial progress.

Qian Lai was also confused. The young man in front of him didn't look very old, but he was very slippery.

No matter how he tried to find out, he couldn't find out any news, but the more so, the more he was interested.

It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, and he certainly won't let it go.

Qian Lai was still talking nonstop, and Xu Bai just listened to it for fun, driving the horse and listening.

The speed was not fast, but not slow.

It was night when they left, and they had walked a long distance at this time, and it was already late at night.

The convoy in front gradually stopped, and Xu Bai stopped with it.

There was no noise in his ears. Qian Lai talked for a long time, and seeing that Xu Bai was still silent, he stopped talking.

When Xu Bai saw the convoy stop, he was just wondering when he saw a woman getting off the most luxurious carriage.

The woman was wearing a green skirt, her hair was tied up high, and wrapped with a green hairpin, which made her look graceful and beautiful.

Xu Bai knew this woman, and he had heard many people talking about her on the way here.

Zhong Ruqin, the eldest daughter of the Zhong family.

The Zhong family was also a merchant who specialized in traveling along the border, but it was a wealthy family.

Even compared with some famous families in Jingzhou Prefecture, the money was not small.

But unfortunately, they were not in the business, and their status would always be lower.

Zhong Ruqin was the eldest daughter of the Zhong family. She had already married a court official.

But unexpectedly, on the night of her marriage, before she had time to have sex in the bridal chamber, the court official died.

After the coroner's examination, it was found that she died of a rapid heartbeat. The specific situation was that when she lifted the veil, she saw Zhong Ruqin's face.

Since then, the official's family thought that Zhong Ruqin was an ominous thing and kicked her out.

Zhong Ruqin returned home and was also blamed by her family, but she did not take it seriously.

Because she had been married before, although she had never had sex, she still tied her hair up high.

After being criticized at home, she started a business.

Once, twice, three times, four times, she was very successful, and all the previous accusations were turned into clouds and smoke, and she became the backbone of the family.

To be honest, in Xu Bai's eyes, this Zhong Ruqin is really beautiful.

Long black hair, almond eyes like water, eyebrows like clouds, mouth like cherry.

Just the flowing eyes can make people feel relaxed and happy, and coupled with the mature temperament, it makes people unable to stop.

—— Very moist, really moist.

Xu Bai took another look, took out the book from his arms and started reading.

Since he stopped, he did not ask, because he would get the answer soon. Sure enough, Zhong Ruqin spoke slowly after coming down.

Her voice was soft and gentle, and it sounded mature in the ears.

Once it was far away, no one could hear it, but Xu Bai's strength could hear it clearly.

"It's too late. It's dangerous even if you walk on the official road. When I was traveling for business before, there was a dilapidated yard in front, which was just right for resting. Tell everyone to follow."

Zhong Ruqin said to a warrior beside her. This warrior was someone she invited. She also invited many to protect this business trip.

The warrior nodded, clasped his fists and saluted, then slowly spoke and repeated his words.

When someone in the business spoke, the voice naturally spread far away, and everyone heard it.

No one present refused. After all, they were all ordinary people, and safety was the most important thing.

Xu Bai felt that he could not act weird, so he followed behind.

The convoy slowly set out again, walking on the dark road, with the moonlight shining down, acting as the only lighting.

After walking for about half an hour, a dilapidated yard appeared in front.

The yard was really dilapidated. From the outside, it felt like it had been abandoned for many years. Under the moonlight, even the gate was only half open.

Zhong Ruqin had been sitting in the carriage, leading the way in front. When they arrived at the destination, the carriage stopped.

A servant took a round stool and placed it below. Zhong Ruqin held the edge of the carriage, stepped on the stool carefully, and walked down.

The soft and sticky voice appeared again.

"This is where I have stayed many times. I can spend the night here, free from the threat of wolves and tigers."

Everyone nodded. It was good to have a place to live in this desolate mountain. Although there was no room for so many people, at least it was not in the woods.

Then everyone walked in, gathered in groups of three or two, and started a pile of bonfires.

The yard is not big and there are too many people.

The servants, grooms, and even the people in the trade who were invited stayed outside to guard the goods or do other things.

Xu Bai followed him in and found a corner to sit down, not gathering with others.

Qian Lai came over again: "Little brother, why don't you find a room?"

The yard was quite empty, with no roof over the head. If you go into the room, you can at least feel some warmth.

Xu Bai shook his head and declined politely. His sight shifted to Zhong Ruqin.

Zhong Ruqin was wearing an emerald green cloak, which tightly wrapped her curvy figure, but you could see the curve of her waist and back as she walked.

She didn't go with these people, but walked into the largest room.

No one present said anything, after all, they were all brought here by others, and if you talk about who is rich, the Zhong family is indeed rich, and no one will offend them, after all, there is no benefit to offend.

Qian Lai also noticed Xu Bai's gaze, and mistakenly thought that he had some dirty thoughts, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Based on your appearance, if you can marry into the Zhong family, even if you marry a widow, you can still be smooth sailing."

Xu Bai said, "You think too much."

Four simple words, he didn't say anything again.

Qian Lai was bored, so he didn't say anything more. He returned to his seat, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xu Bai didn't sleep. He took out the book he got from the croaker and read it slowly.

He couldn't understand the words in the book. They were words in the ruins, but it didn't hinder the growth of the progress bar.

The progress bar grew slowly, the moonlight became brighter and brighter, but the darkness became thicker and thicker.

In the largest house, the door was closed and a dim light was on.

Under the light, a shadow shone on the window of the door.

Today I went to the hospital to check my ears. After the positive, my ears felt like they were stuffed with cotton.
