Feng Shui Art and the Qian Family's Generous Gift (8000)
Xu Bai also didn't expect that the other party would refuse so decisively. When he thought about it, even if he refused, he would be a little tactful.
But seeing the Qian Family Head in front of him, it was obvious that his words seemed to have touched his pain point.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai was about to speak, but unexpectedly Qian Family Head spoke again. This time, it was still an extremely serious word of rejection.
"If it's anything else, as long as Lord Xu asks, we will definitely help, but there is no need to discuss this matter. Lord Xu must know the current situation of our family before coming here, so we will never touch Feng Shui." Qian Family Head said very decisively.
Xu Bai touched his chin. "Isn't it okay even if you just use it a little bit?"
Qian Family Head shook his head vigorously. "Lord Xu is a sensible person. If we use it, the whole family will die violently. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Xu Bai sighed.
He also understood that the other party did have difficulties, and the difficulties were very big.
If the power of Feng Shui is used, the whole family will easily fall into a crisis of death. This situation is extremely rare, but it is also extremely serious.
Xu Bai is not an unreasonable person, and the other party did not offend him. He still explained the reason clearly to him, and of course he would not force it.
Thinking of this, he was ready to leave first. After all, in this situation, Qian Family would definitely not help. It was better to go back and think of other solutions.
Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, there were bursts of boiling sounds coming from outside the door.
A member wearing ordinary clothes ran in from outside. Because he was too panicked, he tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.
He didn't pay attention, crawled over from the ground using his hands and feet, and said with urgency in his tone.
"Master, what's wrong? My uncle wanted to study the power of Feng Shui, but unexpectedly, he failed in the process. Now he doesn't have much time left."
"What! Didn't I say it? Only I can do research. Don't let them do this. The risk is too high. Why don't you listen?" Qian Family Head's face changed and he hurried out of the door.
He seemed to have something very urgent now, and he didn't bother to say goodbye to Xu Pai, so he left in a hurry. The family member who just came in to report stood up and followed Qian Family Head in panic.
Ye Zi said, "Sure enough, even a family that is favored by His Majesty the Emperor still wants to regain its former vitality."
Xu Bai pushed the teacup in his hand aside. "How do you say it?"
Ye Zi's eyes flickered and he said softly, "Master, it's obvious that they want to regain their past glory. They must also be studying Feng Shui, but they just don't use it. But if they really study it, there must be some risks. This is what I deduced from what he just said."
Xu Bai thought for a moment and said, "Follow me and have a look."
After studying the power of Feng Shui, she seemed to have seen a hint of a method, but she still needed to take another look to see if it could be what he thought.
The two of them walked out of the door and rushed in the direction of the boiling sound.
I have to say that Qian Family is really very luxurious. After all, it was because of the emperor's affairs that the entire family was placed on it, so the emperor took special care of the Qian Family. As far as the courtyard is concerned, the average wealthy family really does not have such a big one.
Following the direction of the sound, Xu Bai and Ye Zi finally found their location after walking for a while.
At this moment, the open space in front is already filled with members of the Qian Family. They are surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. From the outside, it looks like there is no water, and there is nothing visible at all.
From time to time, there were cries coming from inside, which sounded very miserable to the ears and made people unbearable to look at. At the same time, they were also mixed with the sound of Qian Family Head.
"Why don't you listen to me? This matter is extremely dangerous, and I can only study it, but you still don't listen to me, and now I can't help you." Qian Family Head's voice was filled with sadness.
"Master, you have paid too much for the Qian Family. You even suffered backlash for your research that day and fell directly to the fourth level. I can't bear to see you like this." This voice was weak and out of breath. It always felt like he would pass away after the next sentence.
Qian Family Head continued to talk, and most of what he said was filled with regret and uneasiness. At this time, the person who had been answering him spoke less and less, and finally turned into a scream, completely silent.
"Uncle!"
Some members cried out in pain, which infected the people around them. The cries became louder and spread around.
After a while, the crowd made a way, and two family members carried a stretcher covered with black cloth. Qian Family Head followed behind, with a look of sadness between his eyebrows.
At this time, Qian Family Head also stepped out of the way and saw Xu Bai who had not yet left.
After being stunned for a moment, Qian Family Head wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, forced himself to cheer up, and walked to Xu Bai.
"Things happened so fast at home, making Lord Xu laugh."
"It doesn't matter." Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "Please show your condolences. People cannot be resurrected after death, so don't be too sad. Give this person a good burial."
Qian Family Head nodded and agreed.
"I just heard that you are still studying the art of Feng Shui. I wonder how?" Xu Bai asked.
Qian Family Head thought Xu Bai was just saying some polite words, so he didn't think much about it. He took out a shabby ancient book from his arms and said, "This is a book passed down from the family. When it is cultivated to perfection, it is equivalent to the first grade."
"It's just that my talent is dull. Even when I was at my peak, I was only halfway to the first level. Now due to what happened that day, I am only at the fourth level."
"If we can study it to its peak, it should be able to solve our dilemma, so I have been studying it."
"Because of the backlash we suffered, we had to be careful, like walking a tightrope on a cliff. But what I didn't expect was that he would make a copy of my book and study it secretly himself."
"It's better now. We can't save people. All this is life!"
As he spoke, Qian Family Head shook his head and sighed, his tone full of sadness.
Xu Bai listened to all these words, but his eyes did not change at all, staring straight at the book in Qian Family Head's hand.
Qian Family Head was still chattering there. The sudden loss of a family member was a big blow to him.
What's more, this family member is also a good player in the family, so he unknowingly talked too much and did not notice Xu Bai's watch.
Xu Bai While Qian Family Head was saying these words, he seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly had a perfect plan.
There is a golden progress bar on this book.
Can studying the essence of this book to its most perfect state help them solve their current predicament?
Isn't this his strength? Needless to say, he definitely doesn't know how to study this matter, and he doesn't understand it either.
But he is familiar with the progress bar!
No one knows progress bars better than him!
So this is completely a plan to kill two birds with one stone. If he can take this opportunity to slow down the progress bar, wouldn't he have Feng Shui skills? Moreover, it can also help Qian Family solve the dilemma. To take a step back, even if the dilemma is not solved, he can still obtain Feng Shui skills and no longer need to come to the Qian Family.
"I can help you." Xu Bai said abruptly.
At this time, Qian Family Head was still talking nonchalantly, but Xu Bai's sudden words disrupted all his words, and he even doubted whether he heard correctly.
Can you help him? What does it mean to be able to help him? Can it help him solve the family's current predicament?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
These days, who else knows how to solve family difficulties better than him.
Qian Family Head smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Xu, there is no need to say this anymore. I also understand Lord Xu's feelings, but now is not the time to talk about this!"
Xu Bai pointed at Qian Family Head's book and said, "You only need to give me the book and give me ten more days. If I can't help you solve your current predicament, I won't lose anything by then and I will return the book to you. How about that?"
Ten days, because Xu Bai cannot yet estimate how long it will take. Since this is a first-grade book, which is equivalent to the ninth level, he has never come into contact with a first-grade book, so it is difficult to estimate for the time being.
Qian Family Head was stunned, looking down at the book in his hand, not knowing how to answer.
Listening to what the other party means, it seems very confident, but do we really have to do what the other party says? He didn't think it mattered much about giving the book to Xu Bai. After all, there were many copies of the book in his hand.
And Xu Bai...
To be honest, even if Qian Family Head doesn't believe in Xu Bai, he still believes in His Majesty the Emperor.
After all, the entire Qian Family has given everything for the emperor, and the reason why they are so is because of their absolute loyalty to the emperor, so at this moment, a person who is trusted by the emperor is also absolutely trusted by the Qian Family.
That's all, treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
Qian Family Head finally figured it out. After all, in this desperate situation, a person who trusted the emperor suddenly came to him and said that he could help him solve his current predicament. He would definitely be willing to do it.
Thinking of this, Qian Family Head gritted his teeth and decisively handed over the book in his hand.
Xu Bai was slightly surprised. He thought he would have to waste more words, but he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive, and looking at this posture, there was no hesitation at all.
"Lord Xu, if you can help Qian Family solve the current predicament, you will be the benefactor of my entire family." Qian Family Head said seriously.
Xu Bai took it in his hand, looked at the slowly growing progress bar above, and said slowly.
"Although I can't guarantee it absolutely, I will definitely give you an answer within ten days. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, this book will be returned to its original owner."
Qian Family Head raised his hands, clasped his fists and said, "This will help Lord Xu."
Xu Bai nodded.
He is also very anxious now. After all, it seems that the solution must include Feng Shui Master.
Now that he has Feng Shui Master's book, he just wants to go back and digest the contents of the book as soon as possible.
So after getting what he wanted, he didn't stay any longer. After chatting with Qian Family Head for a few words, he took Ye Zi and walked towards the inn.
Along the way, he looked down at the progress bar in his hand from time to time. He didn't put the book aside until he returned to the inn.
He also thought about it and put Heavy Sword Method aside for the time being, and used his energy to read the current Feng Shui book.
Thinking about this, Xu Bai stopped staying and took the time to focus on the progress bar in front of him.
While Xu Bai was watching the progress bar, a large number of people gathered in a small alley away from the lively streets of Wind Flower Prefecture.
These people were dressed in ordinary clothes. If they were spread out, they would be ordinary people in the city.
But at this moment, they all gathered together, a huge mass.
Fortunately, these people also knew that no one made a sound, and the whole alley seemed extremely quiet.
In front of this group of people stood an ordinary-looking man wearing linen clothes.
This man didn't have any special features, except that his hands looked unusually rough, and there was a lot of dirt in his nails.
But this is not particularly obvious to ordinary people. After all, dirt in nails is also very common among ordinary people.
Of course, if you know this person's business, these dirt will no longer be ordinary.
Gravediggers have been dealing with all kinds of tombs all year round, which is equivalent to dealing with all kinds of soil. Some gravediggers are accustomed to using tools, while some gravediggers trust their hands more. Obviously, the gravedigger in front of me trusts his hands more.
"Everyone, I want to tell you some very bad news. Tong Family is gone. All of them died of misfortune. As for how they died, they were probably chased by someone on the way away from Wind Flower Prefecture." The gravedigger walked back and forth for a while, then slowly spoke.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present took a breath. Although they did not speak, the expressions on their faces were very wonderful.
"You also know what this means. It means that we have lost our internal intelligence at Wind Flower Prefecture, and it also means that the person who killed Tong Family is definitely Xu Bai."
"After all, only Xu Bai will suddenly attack our people, so I can be sure that Tong Family has been exposed. As for how he was exposed, I suspect there is a spy here."
The gravedigger is not a fool. He has never sent anyone to provoke Xu Bai during this period, and it is impossible for him to leave any clues.
But this inexplicable situation directly exposed Tong Family, the only insider. Then, apart from the insider, he could not think of any other reason.
The people present looked at each other and said nothing. At this time, no matter what you said, you would become the target of everyone's attention.
The gravedigger continued, "Time is very urgent, and I don't have time to fish for a big fish for a long time and slowly find out who the mole is, so I won't investigate anymore."
"But that doesn't mean my plans will be put on hold. Now everyone is leaving with me."
"I hope that mole knows a little bit and doesn't leak the information at this time, otherwise I will let him know what life is worse than death."
With that said, the gravedigger didn't wait for these people to speak and walked straight in one direction.
The remaining people looked at each other, and in the end they didn't say anything more and followed the gravedigger with their heads buried.
There were a lot of people, but they were scattered into piles.
And since this was a remote alley, located on the edge of the city, it didn't take long for them to successfully get out of the city and into the wilderness.
At this time, they had gathered together, and under the leadership of the gravedigger, they rushed in one direction quickly.
Among the crowd, an ordinary-looking man was walking quietly inside. He raised his head and looked at the people in front of him. In the end, he didn't say anything and followed silently.
After a while, they came to an inconspicuous hilltop.
"Everyone, you stay here. From now on, I hope you won't leave, and it's best not to tip off the traitor." The gravedigger said slowly.
"Now that I'm telling you this, I also hope that everyone will monitor each other. After all, my energy is limited and I can't cover everything, but you can help me. If you don't want your whereabouts to be exposed, it's best to do your best to monitor the people around you."
The eyes of the people present were stunned, and then they looked at the people around them, full of vigilance.
The gravedigger smiled, found a seat, and sat down.
There is nothing better than using people's suspicion to get things done. This is more effective than using his energy to monitor.
The sun gradually sets and time gradually slips away.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
At this time, in the inn, Xu Bai stared at the Feng Shui book in front of him, unable to take his eyes away.
The progress bar was growing slowly. After about a quarter of an hour, the last progress bar reached perfection.
Light blue smoke appeared in front of his eyes, gradually condensed into a line of text, and finally appeared in front of Xu Bai.
The Feng Shui book is done!
[You observe Four-Word Feng Shui Secret Art and understand Four-Word Feng Shui Secret Art.]
When this line of text appeared in front of his eyes, it did not turn into information as expected, but disappeared directly.
This scene is very familiar to Xu Bai.
This was a sign of fusion, but he was very confused. In this case, which skill would it be fused with?
Regarding the ability of Feng Shui, he seemed to have no skills in this area. With such doubts, he waited patiently.
Soon, the disappearing light blue smoke reappeared, twisting and gathering into new words in mid-air.
[Discovered options that can be fused and are being fused.]
[Four-Word Feng Shui Secret Art+Human Calculation Scripture=Feng Shui Arithmetic.]
[Integration successful!]
The next moment, when the four words "fusion successful" appeared, the light blue text disappeared and turned into messages, which penetrated into Xu Bai's mind. The content about Feng Shui was gradually being digested by him.
The latest panel appears in front of you.
[Name: Xu Bai.]
[Realm: Third Rank Loose Cultivator.]
[Chess Saber Five Styles (Level 7): Full level.]
[Inverted Purple Firmament Gang Wind Yin Yang Melody (Level 7.5): Full level.]
[Returning Wind Flowing Snow (Level 5): Full level.]
[Movement Break Fourth Cycle (Level 6): Full level.]
[Grafting Flowers onto Trees (Level 8): Full level.]
[Vajra Heart Demon Body (Level 4); full level.]
[Strengthening Kidney Gathering Art (Level 5): Full level.]
[Hundred Poisons True Explanation (Level 3): Full level.]
[Ingenious Craft Puppet Technique (Level 6): Full level.]
[Undying Body (disabled) (level 6): full level.]
[Water Adaptation Method (Level 5): Full level.]
[Feng Shui Arithmetic (Level 9): Full level.]
[Comprehension: Full level.]
Ninth-level skills are equivalent to first-level skills.
Xu Bai After absorbing the information in his mind, he opened his eyes.
This fusion is very powerful. Not only does he have ninth-level feng shui skills, but his fortune-telling ability has also been upgraded to ninth level due to the fusion.
At this time, although the type of fortune-telling has not been improved, it is still tracking and measuring good and bad luck, but now the ability of fortune-telling has been greatly improved, even for masters who can calculate first-class fortune-telling.
He finally understood why the two skills could be integrated. After all, Feng Shui and fortune telling were both relatively close categories.
Xu Bai carefully reviewed the information in his mind, and finally he had figured out how to solve Qian Family's situation.
Qian Family Due to the backlash of luck, it is impossible to use the power of Feng Shui again, otherwise it will lead to disaster.
But based on the skills acquired so far, there is a solution.
If you suffer from the backlash of Feng Shui, in the final analysis, you still have to use Feng Shui to solve it.
Thinking about this, Xu Bai took out a piece of paper and wrote down various countermeasures on it.
This is a Feng Shui formation, a first-class Feng Shui formation.
In fact, there are also Feng Shui Master in the first grade of the Great Chu Kingdom, but after all, they are not the same as Qian Family, so it is very difficult to solve them. Even if they are of the same type, there is a slight difference, which is like a world of difference.
Xu Bai is different. His Feng Shui skills come from the Qian Family, so he can solve them easily.
This Feng Shui formation is also the strongest Feng Shui formation among the Feng Shui arithmetic skills, and is named Change Heaven and Earth.
The power of Heaven and Earth Changing Array lies in its ability to change bad luck into good luck and bad luck into bad luck.
The materials required for this Feng Shui certificate are not ordinary materials, but he believes that a family with such a long history as Qian Family must have a lot of heritage.
"In this way, their problem will be solved. It only takes time to adjust it slowly."
The backlash that Qian Family suffered is not just a day or two. There is a saying that is good, sickness comes like a mountain and it goes away like a thread. The same is true for Change Heaven and Earth.
After doing all this, he put down the pen in his hand and put the paper away.
After a while, Xu Bai suddenly had an idea.
He cast Feng Shui Arithmetic and used it on Ye Zi.
A golden compass appeared in front of him, and there was even a burst of Feng Shui power on the compass.
Xu Bai Close your eyes and feel it carefully.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
Ye Zi was sitting quietly aside. When she felt Xu Bai's gaze, she suddenly felt hairy all over her body, as if her whole body was being looked at by Xu Bai.
It's not the feeling of being seen through clothes, but the feeling of being seen through Xu Bai on the inside.
"Sir, what are you..."
"I calculated your destiny, measured your fortune, and even looked at your Feng Shui." Xu Bai smiled.
Ye Zi asked curiously, "Sir, have you figured out anything?"
"It's big, it's just big." Xu Bai said mysteriously, "It's a sign of good fortune."
It was indeed a sign of great auspiciousness, but other than that, there was not even a trace of ominous appearance.
Ye Zi pursed his lips and said with a smile, "I am from the young master, so of course I am a good fortune person. After all, the young master is a very lucky person."
Xu Bai touched Ye Zi's head and prepared to test himself again.
In fact, until now, he doesn't have a particularly good understanding of his background. Whether it's the various wonderful things he encountered before or the Demon-Strange Entity Market last time, they all show his extraordinary golden fingers.
Now that there is such a powerful skill, of course I have to give it a try.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai used Feng Shui Arithmetic on himself.
The next moment, Xu Bai was stunned.
He tried, but to no avail. Everything about him was shrouded in fog and he couldn't see anything.
As for good or bad luck...
This can be seen, and it is also a good sign.
As for Feng Shui... it's still shrouded in fog.
The so-called Feng Shui is not just for objects. In fact, people living in this world themselves occupy the Feng Shui pattern.
But he was in a fog.
This means that he cannot use Feng Shui to change his destiny, or that the current first-level skills are not enough to change his destiny.
"Gan! In other words, my Feng Shui skills can only be used on others, or help in specific scenarios." Xu Bai suddenly felt that he was a bit at a loss, but after thinking about it, it was not a big loss.
The Feng Shui Formation is an extremely insidious skill. If you make someone unhappy and arrange it randomly in that person's home, ruining the other person's Feng Shui, the consequences are self-evident.
"Forget it, it's a first-level skill after all." Xu Bai thought to himself.
Now that his skills were satisfied, he didn't want to stay any longer, so he quickly called Ye Zi and rushed towards the Qian Family.
Nothing else happened along the way, and we arrived at the Qian Family smoothly. When he arrived, Qian Family Head arrived quickly.
"Lord Xu, do you have a solution?" Qian Family Head said anxiously.
There is no room for him not to be anxious. He is really like an ant on a hot pot now.
When there was no hope before, he was not as anxious as now. He just studied step by step, but now that he has been given hope, he is more anxious than anyone else.
Xu Bai saw Qian Family Head's expression and didn't say much. He took out the piece of paper and handed it to Qian Family Head: "You should have the materials above, but it may take a while to completely alleviate. It may be three years, it may be five years, but it will definitely not exceed five years."
It's like treating a disease, it's not that simple.
Qian Family Head hurriedly opened the paper. When he saw the content on it, he was stunned on the spot.
"This... this..."
Although due to the original change of fate and research reasons, Qian Family Head has fallen to the fourth level.
But he still has a good vision, and he can see the beauty of it at a glance. This is indeed the solution to his family's problems.
"Enough, enough!" Qian Family Head's hand holding the piece of paper trembled, and he was indescribably excited. "I have been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about these three to five years. In comparison, these three to five years are too short."
"That's good. Since there's nothing to do, I'll leave." Xu Bai smiled.
This is actually a business. Now that the business has been completed, he should deal with his own affairs.
"Plop!"
At this time, Qian Family Head carefully placed the paper in his arms, then straightened his clothes, knelt in front of Xu Bai, and kowtowed three times solemnly.
"Qian Family Head, absolutely not." Xu Bai turned sideways slightly and did not accept this gift.
In terms of etiquette, Great Chu Kingdom naturally has a set of rules. When the other party gives you a big gift, if you can afford it, just accept it happily.
If you can't stand it, you can either avoid it or stand aside and receive a half-salute.
From Xu Bai's point of view, he just started his own business. Others gave him books, and he liked the progress bar. Now he helps others solve problems, and there is no one who owes whom.
He has a scale in his heart, which is also a principle. If a person does not have principles, he will no longer be called a person.
"Lord Xu, from now on, you will be my family's great benefactor!" Qian Family Head raised his head and burst into tears.
At the beginning, they were willing to bear everything for His Majesty the Emperor.
But they are all in a special profession, so why don't they want to continue this profession? Carrying on the family lineage and continuing the family business are deeply rooted in the hearts of each of them, so until now, they have not given up.
But every experiment is fruitless.
Now, Xu Bai has solved their problem, which is the greatest grace for their family.
"Get up." Xu Bai had no choice but to help Qian Family Head up.
"Come here!" Qian Family Head suddenly thought of something and said, "Bring Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram!"
A member was waiting outside. After hearing what Qian Family Head said, he was stunned on the spot. It took a long time before he left with a face full of shock.
"Qian Family Head, what does this mean?" Xu Bai frowned.
Qian Family Head held Xu Bai's hand, pulled him to sit down, and then said, "I Qian Family have a clear grudge. You have helped me a lot in this matter. I can't repay you. I just I can give you a small gift, but it's a pity that this formation will take three to five years to wear off the backlash on us. I also heard that Lord Xu has to deal with things with Feng Shui, so there is something that can help Lord Xu."
"Oh?" Xu Bai became interested.
While the two of them were talking, the family member finally walked in, holding a scroll in his hand.
When Xu Bai saw this scroll, his eyes narrowed slightly. He could feel that this scroll contained huge Feng Shui power.
Qian Family Head took it in his hand and said slowly, "Lord Xu, people have grades, and things also have grades. I think the knife in your hand is a fourth-grade thing, and my book Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram is a first-grade thing."
"Since the difficulties Lord Xu is currently facing are related to Feng Shui, Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram is an excellent treasure."
"Lord Xu, dare I ask if that Feng Shui book has reached its peak?"
Xu Bai nodded and said, "Qian Family's Feng Shui book is really powerful. To be honest, I have fully understood it."
"In that case, Lord Xu can use it." Qian Family Head handed the yin and yang diagram to Xu Bai's hands and said, "Lord Xu, you can feel it carefully."
Xu Bai was slightly startled. Seeing that the Qian Family clan was showing off, he did not ask directly. Instead, he played with the Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram in his hand and patiently felt it.
True Yuan Power circulates, slowly flowing into Yin-Yang Feng Shui Diagram.
The next moment, Xu Bai raised his head with surprise on his face.
Nice one!
