Chapter 64: The Locust Tree in the Backyard (1)
Translator: 549690339
From Liu Xu’s point of view, Xu Bai was the type of person who would not be persuaded. Unless she wanted to do it herself, no one would be able to persuade her.
For example, Xu Bai wanted to kill County Magistrate Zhang and Lin Fu.
But now, No Flower said that he could change to a third method, and he said it so confidently.
As such, Liu Xu was very curious as to what method No Flower would use.
No Flower stretched out a finger and said something that couldn’t be any more vulgar, ‘”Wealth!”
Wealth?
Even though Liu Xu was wearing a veil, she could feel the corners of her mouth twitch.
She never expected that No Flower would give such an answer.
One word.
Vulgar!
Was this something that could be solved with money?
If money could solve it, then it was not a problem.
“The wealth that I’m talking about refers to a large category. As long as you can pay a sufficient price, someone will definitely be tempted. “No Flower took out something from his bosom and said.
Liu Xu looked over.
It was a book without a cover, and there were no words on the surface.
There were deep creases on the pages, and it was obvious that they had been flipped through many times.
‘ Liu Xu frowned slightly.
“The current abbot of the Titanium Temple hand-copied Buddhist scriptures when he was young. Although they are ordinary Buddhist scriptures, they are hand-copied.””l got this Buddhist scripture from the Sutra Depository as a reward from the Titanium Temple for a mission,” No Flower explained.”
As he spoke, No Flower stroked the scripture with his hand, looking as if he was willing to part with it.
But in Liu Xu’s eyes, this expression was not worth mentioning.
“I heard that the current abbot of the Titanium Temple is unknown in the Titanium Temple. He copied Buddhist scriptures as a hobby. When he was young, he had already copied more than 8,000 books.”Liu Xu said disdainfully.
Some things were worthless if there were too many of them.
No Flower’s expression froze.
“This is different! When the abbot was young, he would only copy every Buddhist scripture once. Although it was unknown at that time, it was now the only copy! “He argued.
Liu Xu chuckled.” You can continue to make up stories. I understand that the Titanium Temple has entered the mortal world. Some of the Buddhist precepts are useless to you.”
No Flower was dejected and didn’t argue anymore. He said weakly,””But this little monk is poor and has nothing. This scripture is really a treasure to those who love Buddhism.”
He was a disciple of the Titanium Temple, but he really had no money.
The Heaven Inspectorate gave him a lot of salary, but based on his understanding of Xu Bai, Xu Bai would not take risks for money.
He had no other choice. This was the only way.
“Maybe we can give it a try. Xu Bails way of thinking is different from others. He seems to like Buddhism very much. “Liu Xu paced back and forth and stopped after a moment.
“I think so too. I’ll go over tomorrow morning. “No Flower became spirited again.
When giving something, it didn’t matter if it was expensive, but rather, it was to cater to their preferences. Liu Xu walked to the door.”
After saying that, he left.
The room fell silent again. No Flower held the Buddhist scripture and thought about what to say tomorrow.
Night fell.
Xu Bai lay on the bed, feeling bored.
There were still quite a few days before the bookstore would be exchanging new books.
During this period of time, he had fallen into a situation where there was no progress bar.
To be honest, the liver progress bar was very boring, but after getting used to it, he became more and more addicted to it.
Now that he suddenly had nothing to do, he felt bored.
“Sigh, we have to think of a way. If we don’t have it, we’ll look for it elsewhere. “Xu Bai thought as he placed his hands behind his head.
At present, there was only a bookstore in Shengxian County, at least on the surface.
If this continued, he would have to go to Shengxian County to take a look. He would come back to the bookstore every month.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai felt that this plan was feasible.
“Find some time to go out and try. Anyway, the bodyguard agency is fine. After we go out, let Liu Er make the decision.”
After Xu Bai thought it through, he turned over and prepared to rest.
“Oh right, I’ve been busy for a few days and forgot about the locust tree.” He sat up and thought about the locust tree.
Just as he turned over, there was a sudden movement outside the door.
At this time, it was already late at night, and the escorts had all gone home. How could there be anyone?
That sound was like the sound of someone rubbing against the ground without lifting their feet.
Xu Bai got up and picked up Ghost Head Blade, which was beside the bed. He went to the window and quietly opened it a little.
Outside the window, the small courtyard was unusually quiet. Other than the moonlight, there was nothing else.
The noise he heard just now was definitely not an illusion.
Frowning slightly, Xu Bai silently pulled out the Ghost Head Blade and held it in his hand.
“Sha…Sha…”
The sound of friction rang out again. He turned around and retreated. At the same time, he pushed open the window with his back hand and aimed his long Imife outside the window.
There was nothing outside the window.
However, the rustling sound was still coming, and it was getting closer and closer.
Xu Bai didn’t go out. He used Ghost Head Blade to pick up a stool in the room and threw it out of the door.
The stool fell to the ground and rolled far away without any abnormality.
At this moment, the rustling stopped.
In Xu Bail s line of sight, there was a trace of black below the window.
“Hair?”
With Xu Bai’s current strength, he could clearly see that it was black hair, and it was moving up.
Black hair, forehead, eyes…
As it slowly moved up, a head appeared in midair.
His hair was disheveled, his eyes were round, and there was nothing below his neck. Blood was dripping from it.
His eyes were emotionless, filled with coldness and gloominess.
“County Magistrate Zhang?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.
This head looked exactly like County Magistrate Zhang, and it looked like County Magistrate Zhang before he died.
Becoming a strange ” Xu Bai looked at Magistrate Zhang’s head and thought to himself.
After a person died, there was a chance that they would become strange. This was the origin of the strangeness of Great Chu.
Seeing the hideous head floating in the air, Xu Bai subconsciously thought of something strange.
The head floated in the air, staring at Xu Bai with an extremely strange gaze.
From time to time, it would dance up and down, but it did not come in.
At this moment, Xu Bai suddenly felt something in his mind, but it was not too obvious.
He lowered his head and looked at Ghost Head Blade in his hand, slowly figuring out what had just appeared.
It was a consciousness.
A consciousness that was independent of his own consciousness was confusing his thoughts, causing him to have an emotion that told him that he had killed County Magistrate Zhang and felt guilty. He should pay with his life.
Guilt?
Pay with your life?
Does it exist?
It didn’t exist.
This was an ability to confuse people, but he had the ability to turn things upside down.
In the past few days, apart from exchanging Buddhist teachings with No Flower, he would occasionally ask No Flower about strange demons.
When the commoners died, they would turn into strange creatures. That was an ordinary strange creature.
If a strange person died, there was a chance that they would turn into a strange person, and they might even carry the abilities of their previous life.
If County Magistrate Zhang died, he should have the ability of a scholar. How could he have such a confusing ability?
“The ability to confuse?” Xu Bai looked past County Magistrate Zhang’s head and at the locust tree in the backyard.””Finally, you’re moving.”
The long saber swept across, and the moonlight shone on the saber light, making it extremely cold.
The head that was floating in the air met the blade light and instantly turned into a bubble.
Xu Bai used the Four Xun Body Technique. His figure was like a ghost and he had already arrived at the backyard.
He rubbed the blade with his fingers and smiled.””Let me see who you are. How dare you cause trouble in my territory..”
