Xie Yunxiao walked over, took the box over and began to look at it.
The last time he looked at this box, his consciousness moved accordingly, and he was almost injured by the laws flowing in it.
This time I used my spiritual sense to explore again, but the Holy Spirit pattern was lifeless, without any movement.
Was it an accident last time?
"Perhaps it's not a coincidence. Tao Yu's skills in talisman and seal writing are very extraordinary. Under the impact of that force, the Bahuang Box automatically counterattacked, and everything happened after that!" Xie Yunxiao said softly to himself.
Qi Sizhao said: "This box involves the art of mechanism. If you want to open it, you may need a master who knows the art of mechanism!"
"Mechanism technique!" Xie Yunxiao frowned slightly. There were people in Guigu who were good at mechanism technique. He also learned some, but he didn't have the opportunity to study it in depth at the time.
"From the perspective of mechanism skills, there may be different discoveries!" Xie Yunxiao said.
When I picked up the box again, the Bahuang Box was different. The pattern on it seemed to be alive again.
"It's a pity that I don't have enough attainments in mechanism skills!" Xie Yunxiao sighed.
"Even if you know the mechanism technique, you may not be able to solve it!" Qi Sizhao said. Vaguely, he felt that if the Eight Desolate Boxes were to be opened, it had to do with the mechanism technique.
Xie Yunxiao understood the meaning of Qi Sizhao's words. He nodded and looked at the Bahuang Box again, lost in thought.
Towards evening, Tao Yu and Hu San came over and saw Xie Yunxiao and Qi Sizhao studying the Bahuang Box, and left with satisfied faces.
Around Hai hour, Qi Sizhao opened the passage. When Xie Yunxiao walked in, he said to Qi Sizhao: "If I don't come back in three days, you can leave through this passage!"
When Qi Sizhao heard this, he couldn't help but be startled. When he came to his senses, Xie Yunxiao had already left.
"No, you will definitely come back. The look in Xie Yunxiao's eyes is firm!" Qi Sizhao said with a determined expression. In fact, he did not dare to imagine what would happen if Xie Yunxiao did not come back.
When a person has trust and dependence on another person, some things are beyond his control.
Xie Yunxiao didn't know what Qi Sizhao was thinking. He walked out along the passage and was still in the county town, but he came to the edge of the Wei River.
This passage was obviously left intentionally by the person who built the house. If any accident happened, he could use this passage to escape.
Unfortunately, the house eventually changed its owner, and Qi Sizhao's memory was damaged. He couldn't remember some things, and he didn't know when he would be able to recover.
"What happened here?" Xie Yunxiao frowned. He took a deep breath, turned around and walked forward.
Not long after, Xie Yunxiao came to the county government office.
This county government office did not take long to build, and there are not many traces of time left on either the courtyard wall or the buildings behind it.
"When I entered the city yesterday, I felt that something was wrong in this county. At night, was the evil spirit so strong?"
Xie Yunxiao looked up and saw that the evil spirit was covering the sky above the county government office like clouds and mist.
The coldness was released, and an inexplicable aura filled the entire world.
Xie Yunxiao stood for a while, jumped up, and reached the roof in front of him in one breath.
When the county government office arrived at this time, the lights had long been extinguished, and there was an inexplicable silence.
Xie Yunxiao glanced at the surrounding courtyards, and then jumped off the roof.
"It's too quiet!" Xie Yunxiao frowned slightly. He walked forward for a while, and when he saw the lights in a house in front of him, he came forward.
The lights trembled, stretching the figures of the people in the room.
Xie Yunxiao stopped. He did not deliberately hide his aura, and people in the room immediately noticed his presence.
The room opened, and a man about thirty-two or three years old came out holding a volume of books.
He was wearing ordinary clothes. Although he did not deliberately maintain his posture, he stood upright and exuded a gentle and elegant aura. He was indeed a scholar.
"Who are you? Why do you want to break into the county government office at night?" The man looked gentle, as if he regarded Xie Yunxiao as a guest.
Xie Yunxiao smiled calmly: "My Excellency, Xie Wuming, came to the county government office, and naturally came to pay a visit to the county governor!"
"Have you seen me?" the man asked.
"I haven't seen him, but if I don't admit my mistake, you must be Lord Li Chili, the governor of Shannan County!" Xie Yunxiao said.
The man nodded: "Yes, it's me!"
"Master Li is still studying at such a late hour, I admire him!" Xie Yunxiao looked sincere, not polite.
"If you don't let go of the scroll, you won't be blinded by everything!" Li Chi said calmly.
"It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. If a scholar only knows what is in the books, he is a dead student!" Xie Yunxiao was not polite.
Li Chi smiled calmly: "Your Excellency can have such an opinion, you must be an unusual person!"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I want to know something from the Sheriff!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Li Chi asked: "What do you want to know?"
Xie Yunxiao said: "There has been something strange in this county recently. Don't you feel it, sir?"
"Is there any? Have you just arrived in Shannan County?" Li Chi said.
There was an inexplicable look in Xie Yunxiao's eyes, and he chuckled: "Yes!"
"No wonder you feel this way!"
"Is it because I'm an outsider?"
"People from outside will feel this way when they first start!"
Xie Yunxiao glanced at Li Chi again, his eyes flickering slightly.
Li Chi didn't speak, and he didn't avoid Xie Yunxiao's gaze. For a moment, both of them fell into silence, and neither one spoke.
The early winter night was so chilly.
After nearly a cup of tea, Xie Yunxiao had a little smile on his face, and so did Li Chi.
"Have you never encountered any problems, Lord Sheriff?" Xie Yunxiao asked.
Li Chi said: "What aspect are you referring to?"
"Anything is fine!" Xie Yunxiao said.
Li Chi pondered for a moment and said: "In the process of governing Shannan County, we did encounter many problems, such as the influence of monsters from Mingshan Mountain, the strong folk customs here, etc., but these can be solved. Now this Shannan County should be pretty good!"
When Xie Yunxiao heard this, his eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at Li Chi calmly and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Li for being outstanding!"
"I dare not, but I am able to achieve what I am today because I have a good mentor. What I can do is to govern this Shannan County well!" When Li Chi talked about his mentor, there was respect in his eyes. .
"The Prime Minister is a Bole, and the Sheriff must be a thousand-mile horse, right?" Xie Yunxiao said with a smile.
Li Chi also smiled, no longer modest.
"If it wasn't already late, I would really like to have a few drinks with you!" Li Chi said.
Xie Yunxiao said: "You can't drink wine, but I think Mr. Li should be ready to greet you!"
Li Chi's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a sharp light in his eyes, and he said: "Your Excellency is indeed not an ordinary person!"
As soon as the words fell, a sound was heard, and a group of men wearing official uniforms rushed in.
These government officials all had an inexplicable coldness on their bodies, and their swords were unsheathed, giving off a cold aura.
Xie Yunxiao said: "Did the Sheriff just prepare these?"
"Why, don't you think it's enough to greet you?" Li Chi said lightly.
Xie Yunxiao chuckled and said nothing, but the doubts in his heart became a little more.
"Take him down!" Li Chi ordered, and the official rushed out.
The light of the sword illuminated the yard brightly.
Xie Yunxiao was shrouded in the light of the sword, but his expression remained calm.
Two long knives stabbed at him at the same time. When they were less than three feet away from him, he gently raised his hands, and the two powerful forces were like roaring rivers.
The two long knives attacking from the front seemed to hit a wall of light. A clear sound was heard, and the long knives swung away, just in time to block the other two knives attacking from the left and right.
The sound of metal clashing spread, and the terrifying force spread, causing ripples in the void.
Then, Xie Yunxiao rotated his body and pushed out his palms. His palms were as powerful as the roaring Yangtze River, knocking away the people who were attacking from behind.
With just a few simple moves, Xie Yunxiao showed not only the power of cultivation, but also the power of wisdom.
Li Chi watched from the side, the expression in his eyes constantly changing.
"Who are you?" Li Chi's voice was like thunder, which could be heard in the courtyard.
Xie Yunxiao laughed loudly: "Guess, Lord Sheriff!"
Li Chi snorted coldly. He started to use Xuan Gong and pointed out the book in his hand.
This simple move contains inexplicable power.
Xie Yunxiao felt that the space around him seemed to be locked. At this moment, he remained calm and pointed a finger with his right hand.
The terrifying power converged into a point of light, and with the position he pointed out as the center, ripples suddenly appeared in the void, as if a stone fell on the water, and water waves suddenly appeared on the smooth water.
At this moment, Xie Yunxiao felt the force of the counterattack and took a few steps back. Li Chi did not occupy any upper position. There was a look of horror in his eyes. He stepped back and shook a few times before he regained his balance.
"What a weird power!" Li Chi's voice came out. He paused and jumped up. The gathered power blessed the book, as if it was struck down by a giant sword.
Xie Yunxiao had the illusion that an invisible mountain was pressing down on him.
"Is the power of a scholar so dignified and elegant?" Xie Yunxiao's voice came out. He spread his hands, and the two forces converged, and a terrifying force rushed away like a suction force.
The two powerful forces met, the light splashed out, the chaotic atmosphere filled the air, and the strong wind suddenly rose.
Xie Yunxiao and Li Chi both paused for a moment, then dodged and shot out. Their movements were all extremely fast.
The two of them were like two lightning bolts, constantly clashing in the air, and the sound kept coming out. The terrifying force was like water waves, swaying one after another.
After seven or eight rounds, they landed in the garden at the same time. Their Qi machines continued to clash, and dull sounds were heard in the void.
Those cadres couldn't get involved at all at this time, so they could only stand quietly and watch.
"Your cultivation is the fourth realm!" Li Chi tried his best to stay calm, but it was extremely difficult because Xie Yunxiao tonight made it difficult for him to understand many things.
