If he could fuse them together, who knew what changes the effects would have.
Armor Penetration, Hallucination, Courage as the battle progressed, and borrowing momentum.
She was so beautiful, so beautiful!
With this thought in mind, Xu Bai became even more fascinated.
Time passed, and the sun and moon rotated.
In the blink of an eye, it was already night time.
Yunlai Prefecture was located in a remote place. The people there were simple and honest, but in comparison, they were still relatively backward.
However, no matter what, it was still a prefecture, so it should have some land. Moreover, it ruled over many Dao City.
At this moment, Wu Gou, the former chief of Yunlai Prefecture, was packing his things. He was preparing to leave early in the morning and take up his post elsewhere.
When he left, he had to bring along a lot of his own people. After all, he had left a familiar territory and was in a new place. He could bring some familiar people with him so that he could use them.
“I didn’t expect Yun Zihai to really succeed. This matter has even set a precedent. The first residence that can govern itself and is not affected by external vision.”Wu Gou secretly sighed as he packed his things.
It was like sour grapes. After all, people were very envious of such a situation. As a sixth-grade scholar, Wu Gou did not come from the Qingyun Academy, but from another academy.
That academy was not very famous, but he was able to get into the imperial examinations and reach his current status step by step. It was all thanks to his own hard work.
He was also someone who had climbed up from the bottom, so of course he knew the ins and outs of it. Compared to some flowers in a greenhouse, he could see many different things.
The Emperor’s delegation of power might not be just a promise on the surface, but there was a deeper meaning.
Of course, as officials, how could they guess the heart of the Son of Heaven? He could not understand what it meant.
However, there was one thing he was clear about. The handover procedure had to be smooth. He could not let anyone see anything fishy.
After packing up, Wu Gou came to a brazier and looked at the ashes inside, revealing a satisfied smile.
As the saying went, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. A remote area like theirs had all kinds of wonderful benefits.
Sometimes, when one was close to the emperor, everything would be restricted. However, when one was far away, some things would naturally be extremely smooth.
He didn’t miss a single piece of money, and he kept all the women in his hands.
He was used to working here. It seemed like he had been transferred to a bustling place, but in fact, it had restricted his hands and feet.
“Fortunately, there was nothing left out.”Wu Gou thought.
After this last matter came to an end, he felt much more relaxed. He went to the window and looked at the moonlight outside.
He looked at the beautiful night sky and wondered if he had missed anything. After confirming it again and again, he was ready to close the window and rest early.
He had to go through the handover procedures early tomorrow morning. Of course, he had to rest early to avoid being distracted.
However, before he could close the window, he saw someone standing in the courtyard from the corner of his eye.
As the moonlight was not very bright, he could not see clearly, but the sudden appearance of a person in the middle of the night immediately alerted him.
A brush and a book appeared in his hands. He slowly pushed open the window. At the same time, words surrounded his entire body as he wrote.
After all, he was still a sixth pin student. This bit of strength was still something he could show.
Wu Gou was about to question the other party’s identity, but he did not expect the other party to not seem to appreciate it. Without giving him a chance to ask, he raised his right hand.
A cold light flashed, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.
Wu Gou only felt a chill on his neck, followed by a sharp pain.
This pain was not the kind of pain that came from a sharp object cutting into one’s throat, nor was it the pain of a blunt object being hit. Instead, it was the pain of ant-sized mouths constantly gnawing at the flesh on his neck.
Wu Gou couldn’t help but free his hand and grab at his neck, grabbing the thing that was flashing with a cold light.
Under the moonlight, he could clearly see what was on his palm. Then, all the hair on his body stood on end.
It was a broken piece of a bronze mirror. In the broken piece, there were ant-sized faces that were opening and closing their mouths at him.
That was the source of the pain just now.
“Strange!”
Wu Gou’s eyes widened.”
He did not finish his sentence because the blurry figure in the courtyard gradually became clear.
The figure was in pieces, as if pieces of mirrors were pieced together. It looked extremely terrifying.
When the figure became clear, it slowly lifted its feet and walked toward Wu Gou.
With every step he took, the fragments that seemed to be pieced together on his body trembled, as if they would fall off at any moment.
As the Mirror Death approached, Wu Gou seemed to have thought of something. He quickly turned around and wrapped the bronze mirror in a cloth.
After doing all this, he immediately turned around. With a brush and a book in his hands, he let the words appear around his body and attacked the Mirror
Death.
“Boom!”
A series of loud noises came from the backyard, and all the words were lost.
When Wu Gou looked over, he realized that the Mirror Death that had just appeared had already disappeared.
“Gone?”
This situation made his heart tremble, and an uneasy feeling spread throughout his body.
He didn’t dare to slack off at all. His hand that was holding the brush kept waving, forming characters one by one, surrounding his body from top to bottom, protecting him tightly..
