I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

  Chapter 164 Xu Bai's admirer (8000)

  The forest itself is dark, and now this scene is weird and extraordinary, and there is another woman standing on the branch, which makes people feel very scary.

  Xu Bai didn't make a sound, but stared at the past with fixed eyes.

The woman was standing on the tree, and under the moonlight, Xu Bai could see clearly that she was an extremely beautiful woman, but her clothes were different from ordinary people. Strange style.

  Especially on the long black hair, covered with all kinds of silver jewelry, Xu Bai feels like those ethnic minorities in the previous life.

  Under the giant tree, the female corpse covered with corpse spots moved at this moment, slowly raised the pair of pale arms, put them on the shoulders of the villagers,

  In the empty eyes, the two Gu worms vibrated their wings, the sound came from this dark land, and the villagers murmured to themselves, as if they were crazy.

   "Hey hey hey, I'm here, take off your clothes, I'll take off your clothes too."

   "You are so beautiful, you look so good."

   "Let's start, or my wife is going to come to me."

  …

  The villagers began to undress very quickly, as if they were in a hurry.

   But before he finished taking off, the woman on the tree suddenly raised her hand and shot out a ray of light, which was jet-black, and it was very obvious under the moonlight.

Xu Bai hid in the distance and could see clearly that this jet-black light did not come from itself, but was reflected by the moonlight, giving people a feeling of black light. In fact, it was a bird with wings. Gu worms.

   "A Gu worm again?" Xu Bai rubbed his chin.

   I don't know why, but this Gu worm gave him a different feeling. What he saw before was hideous and terrifying, making people feel creepy, but this one is not like that, on the contrary, it makes people feel very comfortable.

  The Gu worm just swayed around in front of the villagers. The villagers screamed, rolled their eyes, and passed out on the ground.

  The next moment, the two Gu worms that were originally hidden in the eyes of the female corpse let out a shrill scream, and chased after the Gu worm that the woman had just shot.

   In less than a second, the three Gu worms fought fiercely in mid-air.

   It was obvious that the two Gu worms were not the opponents of the other one, they were torn into pieces by the Gu worm in just a moment, and swallowed into the stomach.

  The woman hiding in the giant tree jumped from the sky and landed firmly on the ground.

   The Gu worm flying in the air flew towards the woman and stopped in the woman's hand. The woman flipped her right hand, and the Gu worm disappeared.

   "Do it!" Seeing this scene, Xu Bai rushed towards the woman without saying anything.

   Of course, before rushing out, he added something.

   "To live."

  The black knife burst into pieces suddenly, turning into countless fragments, surrounding the woman, with only one order from Xu Bai, these fragments would turn into starlight, turning the woman into a hornet's nest.

   Wu Hua and Ye Zi followed closely behind, surrounding the woman.

   This scene happened too quickly, and the woman obviously didn't react. There was a look of surprise on that beautiful face, but it soon became gloomy.

   "I thought that the people of the Gu God Sect would not join hands with outsiders. It seems that my cousin did not follow the meaning of the Gu God Sect."

  The voice is crisp, but there is an indescribable coldness.

   "Gu God Religion?" Xu Bai rubbed his chin, he seemed to hear something.

  Just now this woman said something about her cousin, and said that the Gu God Sect would not join forces with outsiders. Could it be that this woman is not his enemy, but has other purposes?

  It is very possible, and very likely.

  Thinking of this, Xu Bai was ready to speak.

  First determine the identity of the other party, if not an enemy, then a friend, after all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

  But before he could say anything, the woman acted impulsively.

  The woman raised her hand, a flash of light appeared in her hand, the silver jewelry on her head jingled, and then, dense Gu worms flew out from her sleeve.

   "You are with the Gu God Sect, die for me!"

  The sky was full of Gu worms, sweeping towards Xu Bai and the others with a terrifying aura.

  The sound of vibrating wings came one after another, and it felt very messy to the ears, which made people feel irritated.

  The next moment, the Gu worm flying in mid-air stopped moving, and just froze in the air, neither advancing nor retreating.

Looking back at the woman, the silver jewelry on her head also stopped shaking, because her whole body was covered by fragments, especially around her neck, which was wrapped with dozens of fragments of black knives. As long as she moved a little, she would be angry Never die.

   "It's so impulsive, why don't you finish talking?" Xu Bai laughed.

   This woman's Gu insect is much more powerful, but this woman is very fragile, there is no way to prevent his fragments.

  How should I put it, it’s like the game I played in the previous life. There is a summoner’s profession in the game, which is similar to this. The strength itself is weak, but the things summoned are very strong.

   This type is more suitable for yin people, not for frontal combat.

   "Shameless, I will fight you!"

   This woman obviously knew that she had been held hostage, but she didn't have the slightest fear, so she was ready to continue manipulating the Gu worms, as if she wanted to compare with Xu Bai, whether the sword is faster or the Gu worms are faster.

  Things seemed to be a little out of control, at this time Wu Hua spoke up and took out the token in her hand.

   "Wait a minute! I am Si Zhengwuhua, Supervisor of Tiansi, we are not members of Gu Shen Sect!"

  This situation is already obvious, and of course Wuhua can understand that this woman should come from another source, and it is better not to fight at this time.

  He is one of the people who knows Xu Bai best, and he also knows Xu Bai's character. Even if this woman is not a Gu God sect, but wants to fight Xu Bai desperately, Xu Bai doesn't mind doing it, at most, let this woman breathe.

  So at the critical moment, he still took out his own sign to ease the embarrassing atmosphere in front of him a little.

  The Gu worms around suddenly stopped, and the woman frowned like willow leaves after seeing the sign in Wu Hua's hand.

   "You guys are from Tiansi, aren't you from my cousin?"

   Wuhua nodded, and said: "Put these things away first, we won't hurt your life, after all, our purpose is probably the same."

  The woman thought about it carefully, and finally waved her hand and retracted all the Gu worms into her sleeves.

  However, Xu Bai's fragments were not taken back, and the original posture was still maintained.

   "What do you mean?" The woman also saw it and asked.

  She has already stopped, why Xu Bai still insists?

  Xu Bai smiled and said: "We have proved our identities, so you should also prove your identities. Come and don't be rude. If you can't prove it, it's better for us to maintain this state of communication."

  His guesses about the identity of this woman just now were just guesses. If there is no definite proof, these guesses will never be confirmed, so Xu Bai did not stop.

  The woman froze on the spot, finally gritted her teeth, and was about to reach into her arms.

  The next moment, a wooden box was taken out by the woman, and immediately after, the wooden box was opened, revealing a golden Gu worm.

   Gu worms are all covered in gold, even if it is a worm, people can't bring up the fear of worms at all, but they think it looks good, with an indescribable splendor and beauty.

   "Golden Silk Gu, are you the direct lineage of the Miao Sect?" Wuhua said.

  The woman nodded, obviously admitting it.

  Xu Bai touched Ye Zi next to him, and asked, "What is the golden thread Gu?"

Ye Zi quickly left a reply: "Golden Silk Gu is the inheritance of the Miao Sect, only direct descendants can have it, it can be attacked and defended, and the Miao Sect is a great inheritance, compared to the flowerless King Kong Temple No less…”

  She began to explain to Xu Bai. Although her voice was very low, everyone present could hear her clearly.

   After Ye Zi finished explaining, Xu Bai suddenly realized.

   Miaojiao, a business that is good at using Gu, is also a great inheritance, there are many masters in it, and what they are best at is driving Gu insects.

  But the method they used was a normal posture, allowing the Gu worms to fight each other.

   It is not the extremely cruel method of the ancient gods, keeping Gu worms in corpses.

  As for the inheritance of the direct lineage of the Miao religion, the most representative one is the golden thread Gu.

  Golden Thread Gu can be attacked, break stones to stimulate gold, can be defended, and is as solid as gold.

   Most importantly, be able to prove her identity.

  If the direct lineage of the Miao Sect betrays the Miao Sect, they will lose the trust of the Golden Silk Gu, and it will be impossible to use it again, and the Golden Silk Gu will be reduced to ashes.

  Xu Bai glanced at the woman, the meaning in his eyes was obvious, that is to use it immediately and let him see if it has the effect.

  The woman gritted her teeth, forced by the situation, she could only do as Xu Bai said.

  A ray of light shot out and landed on the Golden Thread Gu, and the Golden Silk Gu seemed to wake up from sleep, flapping its wings and flying out.

  Two golden lights suddenly appeared, one of which landed on the woman, enveloping her, while the other gathered on the golden thread Gu, giving people a feeling of showing their sharpness.

   "Now, that's fine." The woman said through gritted teeth.

  Too angry, this feeling of being coerced by others is not good at all, I always feel like a monkey being watched by others.

  Xu Bai still didn't let go of the fragments, and asked, "It can be attacked and defended, why didn't it be used at the beginning?"

  The woman rolled her eyes and almost fainted out of breath: "You are so fast, how could I react?"

  Xu Bai: "..."

   What is really going on, his fragments are indeed a little fast.

  However, this woman has a problem with speaking.

  He is unhappy, for a long time.

   "Benefactor Xu, let her go for the time being. At present, there is no problem." Wuhua smoothed things over tactfully, and couldn't help but pat her bald head.

  Look, if another brother from King Kong Temple is here, who can persuade Xu Bai, it has to be me.

  Xu Bai thought for a while, then waved the handle of the knife in his hand, and the fragments all over the sky gathered into the blade again, and he inserted it back into his waist.

  The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and touched her fair forehead, only to find that it was covered in cold sweat.

  The feeling just now was terrifying. She knew that if she really took action, it might lead to terrible consequences.

  Thinking about it now, I still feel lingering fear.

  But soon, she recovered.

   "My name is Miao Xiao, from Miaojiao." Miao Xiao introduced himself, "Are you all members of Tiansi?"

   "Compared with these, I want to know what happened to your cousin?" Xu Bai didn't answer, but asked instead.

   From this woman's communication just now, I can hear that this woman's cousin should belong to the Gu God Sect.

  Miao Xiao felt that this man was very strange, and his words were not reasonable at all, but she looked at Si Zheng, the supervisor of Tiansi, in front of her, as if she listened to this man's words and stopped thinking about it, and at the same time she also said her purpose.

   "The thing is..."

  In the middle of the night, in the quiet woods, the voice of Miao Xiao could be heard, accompanied by the chirping of birds, Xu Bai also figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

  Miao Xiao's cousin, named Miao Zheng, is an outstanding talent in the Miao sect.

  Although Miaojiao raised Gu, it was recognized by the Great Chu State. After all, they did not harm anyone, and what they did was normal.

  But the Gu worms they raise are not very efficient, because they have been using a particularly orthodox way of raising Gu.

   Gu God Sect was first established by people who defected from the Miao Sect.

  They raise Gu with corpses and do things that are devoid of conscience, but their efficiency is indeed much higher than theirs.

   Over time, many people with unhealthy minds joined the Gu God Sect.

  The Gu God Sect became stronger and stronger, and gradually emerged from the hiding place in the past.

   Fortunately, the Great Chu State acted decisively and caused them heavy losses, so they hid in the dark again.

   But there are some things that cannot be removed by cutting the weeds.

  When a shortcut can be taken for a matter, many people are willing to take the shortcut. Even if the shortcut has a wrong idea, it cannot stop some people from going or staying.

  Before, although the Great Chu State tried every means, they still kept their roots, so they have been secretly absorbing these people with bad ideas.

   Until recently, after Miao Xiao’s younger brother Miao Zheng betrayed the Miao Sect and joined the Gu God Sect, things became serious.

  Actually, many people defected secretly before, but this time the matter was more serious than before, because the God Gu Sect used some method to make Miao Zheng take away a Golden Silk Gu.

   I also said before that the Golden Thread Gu only recognizes the direct lineage of the Miao Sect, once the Miao Sect members have other ideas, or betray the Miao Sect, the Golden Silk Gu cannot be controlled, and it will even be turned into ashes.

  As for why this happened, this is the secret of Miaojiao, Miao Xiao didn't say.

  Miaozheng took away a golden thread Gu through an unknown method. Once it is used in some conspiracy, Miaojiao may be jointly and severally liable.

  So the Miao Sect immediately sent people to hunt down Miao Zheng, and sent many people, including many experts.

   Unfortunately, they did not find any trace of Miao Zheng. On the contrary, they were hindered by the people of the Gu God Sect, which caused heavy losses to these masters.

  In the end, only Miao Xiao was left to chase here, and Miao Zheng was lost.

  Xu Bai heard this, touched his chin, and said, "What is the highest level of those masters you sent?"

   "Half-step transformation." Miao laughed.

   "That's it?" Xu Bai frowned and said, "The importance of the Golden Silk Gu is so great, you know that you only send people of this level to chase after it, is there a mistake?"

  According to the importance mentioned just now, Xu Bai reckoned that he would have to send someone who had transformed or transcended the ordinary, but unexpectedly, it was only a half-step transformation.

  Miao smiled for a moment, and said: "Half-step transformation is already considered a master for an inheritance... and... Miao teaches differently,

  Although we are as famous as the big forces like the King Kong Temple, it is only before, and it is already different now. "

  Xu Bai looked at Wuhua, meaning that you just mentioned King Kong Temple, please explain.

   Wuhua touched his bald head, this is a habit he has developed recently.

  He suddenly felt that his bald head was very comfortable to touch, and he couldn't put it down over time.

  After seeing Xu Bai's questioning gaze, he explained.

   "The Miao Sect was assassinated by the Gu God Sect a long time ago, and many of its masters have been turned into ashes."

   "Of course, because of that incident, the two sides fought and lost."

   "As famous as King Kong Temple, that was before this incident happened, but even under such circumstances, Miaojiao did not back down half a step, and the reputation of Miaojiao was still recognized in the world."

  Xu Bai let out a cry, and then he understood.

  He walked back and forth, analyzing what Miao Xiao said just now.

   After a while, he stopped and said.

   "What is your strength?"

   "Third Grade." Miao said with a smile: "Although the masters we chased have all collapsed, the Gu God Sect's have not had a good time, and they have paid the price."

"Have you ever wondered why you were let in?" Xu Bai suddenly said, "What you meant just now is that even the half-step metamorphosis masters fought to the death, but your third-rank strength can Don’t you think it’s a problem to go so deep?”

  Miao Xiao was stunned. Obviously, she hadn't considered this issue. Now that she heard Xu Bai's reminder, she thought of it.

   "Could it be... what value do I have?"

  If this is the case, I can only think so.

  She has the value of coming in, and the other party put it in on purpose.

  Xu Bai nodded and said: "I think they intercepted me here and put you in suddenly. You may become their helper. I'm not saying you are bad, I just think they are likely to use you."

   This is Xu Bai's idea. He analyzed it carefully just now, and combined with his current situation, he came to this conclusion.

  Why is the location where Miao Zheng escaped, Lingyunzhou, why not other places?

Don't forget, Xu Bai's current location is Lingyun Prefecture, which is the only way for him to go to Beijing. Combined with the idea that those secret people will definitely deal with him, and specifically let this woman in, he thought up to this point.

   Interception?

   helper?

  Miao Xiao became more and more confused the more he listened, he couldn't help scratching his head, making the silver ornaments on his head jingle.

  How could this have something to do with interception? She just came to chase the traitor.

   "This..." Miao Xiao didn't know how to address Xu Bai, and finally skipped the address and asked directly: "Who are you, and why is it related to intercepting you?"

  Xu Bai was about to speak, but Wu Hua spoke first.

  Wu Hua clasped her hands together, and said loudly: "This is the blood-slaughter swordsman who is buzzing all over the world. His sword skills are extremely sharp, and he is also a legendary multi-cultivation genius, blood-slaughter swordsman, you know... ah!"

   "Boom!"

  The crisp and dull voice echoed in the woods.

  Xu Bai withdrew his right hand and touched the knuckle on his index finger.

   Feels good.

   Wuhua covered her head and looked at Xu Bai in disbelief.

   Just now, Xu Bai hit his head.

   It hurts!

   "Benefactor Xu, I can't bear to knock my head."

   "If you mention the title of Blood Butcher Swordsman again, I'll hit you again." Xu Bai raised his hand.

  Ye Zi covered his face at the side.

It's just that the pot is not opened and the pot is lifted. The young master hates this title the most in his life. This monk dares to mention it, which means that the relationship between this monk and the young master is extraordinary. If someone else is here, he would have been raped by the young master long ago. Beat up.

  Before in Fenghua Prefecture, the young master of the Jiang family was also called the title of son, and the head of the Jiang family came to the door in person to apologize.

   It can be seen from this that the young master really hates this title.

  Ye Zi thought: "I don't know who got it first."

   It doesn't matter who calls, but who takes is the most important.

  One night, Ye Zi asked Xu Bai, what would happen if he knew who took it?

  Xu Bai's answer was very simple—peeled his skin.

  Of course Wuhua doesn't know the reason, but he also knows that Xu Bai doesn't seem to like this title very much, so he doesn't mention it any more.

   "However... Knock it, it seems to be quite nice."

   Wuhua knocked subconsciously, looking very weird.

  Miao Xiao didn't care about this. When she heard the words "Blood Slaughter Swordsman", she froze in place, her big eyes were black and white, full of shock and disbelief.

"ah!"

  In the quiet woods, Miao Xiao's screams sounded.

  In front of Xu Bai, Miao Xiao began to tidy up his clothes in a panic, and at the same time moved the silver jewelry on his head, as if he was afraid that they would be messed up.

  The whole process was very flustered, and her fair and beautiful face had turned red, as red as a cloud of fire.

  Xu Bai: "..."

   It's because he's been living too peacefully lately, so isn't it the right way to open it?

  Wuhua knocked herself on the head just now, and now this woman is showing this abnormality again.

   What the **** is this!

   "You... hello! Master Xu!" Miao Xiao cupped her hands with a blushing face, stuttering: "I, I, I..."

  The remaining half of the sentence was left unspoken, because "I" has been talking for a long time, but "I" can't figure out why.

Xu Bai pointed to his head: "If you have a problem here, I suggest you get it treated. I know a man named Yun Zihai. He has a congenital deficiency, that is, the kind of kidney deficiency, so he has made some achievements in medicine. Would you like me to help you?" introduce?"

   "No, no, no need." Miao Xiao continued waving his hands, unable to hide the excitement at all.

  At this time, Ye Zi's complexion became strange, and he asked tentatively: "You don't...worship my son, do you?"

   "Huh?" Miao Xiao was stunned, and finally lowered his head, stuttering and not speaking.

  Xu Bai was shocked: "Calm down first, let's get down to business, shall we?"

  What Ye Zi said just now, and the behavior of the woman in front of him, have already been seen to be inseparable. Maybe Ye Zi is right.

  I still have fans?

This unscientific.

  Xu Bai thought about it, with his character, he probably would be respected by others, but he didn't expect that there were still people who were his fans.

   "Okay, okay!" Miao Xiao said, and took a few deep breaths before calming down. The excited eyes did not hide at all.

   "I finally saw a living person!"

  Xu Bai: "..."

"I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now." Miao Xiao stared at Xu Bai closely, and said, "Master Xu may not know that among the young people of our Miao sect, many people admire you. Above all, we admire."

  Xu Bai rubbed his forehead and said, "Let's talk about business. By the way, don't you think this village is strange?"

   It is a good thing that someone worships him. Although he feels that he has no characteristics that can be admired by others, but these days, such things as worship are also outrageous.

  For example, in the previous life, some people danced a random dance, no matter how ugly the dance was, there were always one or two people who liked it.

  Xu Bai talked about what he encountered in this village.

  He felt that since they were all taught by Miao, Miao Xiao must have a way to find clues.

  Miao Xiao finally put away her excitement, but her gaze never left Xu Bai.

   It's not about feelings, it's just a kind of pure reverence, just like seeing your idol, you don't want to look away at all.

"I suspect that maybe he was bewitched by a Gu." Miao Xiao explained: "Just now this villager was lured by a Gu worm, but before being tempted by a Gu worm, there must be a condition, that is, he must be carrying a Gu worm. Although our Gu worms have made achievements in the aspect of soul, but they are not high, and they cannot be controlled for no reason."

   As he spoke, Miao Xiao came to the unconscious villager, raised his hand and shot out a Gu worm. After the Gu worm appeared, it flew up and down around the villager, making strange vibrations.

   A moment later, the unconscious villager suddenly opened his mouth, and an ugly Gu insect flew out of his mouth, fighting with the Gu insect in mid-air, but was quickly torn apart and eaten by the Gu insect.

   "That's right, that's how it is. I guessed right, they were all poisoned by Gu worms." Seeing this scene, Miao Xiao became more and more sure of her guess.

  Xu Bai rubbed his chin and said, "Then what's the purpose of doing this thing, harming people or raising Gu?"

   "I don't know." Miao Xiao said very straightforwardly: "I don't know, but after all, it is to raise Gu. After all, Gu God Sect does these things."

  Xu Bai thought for a while, and said, "Go back to the village first."

  He raised his right hand, and the golden compass reappeared, still pointing to the location of the village, proving that there was still a problem with the village.

  If there is a problem, then solve it, know where the problem is, and just stay there.

  Miao Xiao looked left and right, nodded vigorously, and followed Xu Bai.

   Now I don’t have a helper, and my companions have disappeared. Now I can only follow Xu Bai, let alone my idol, which is the greatest honor.

  The fourth-grade puppet carried the villagers on their shoulders, and the people did not stop, but returned to the village. After placing the villagers in a corner, Xu Bai and others walked back to the pavilion again.

  Xu Bai took out the epee method, and then raised the progress bar.

  There is definitely something wrong with this village.

  He thought for a while, and said, "Can you take out the Gu worms of these villagers?"

Miao Xiao sat next to Xu Bai, raised his head, stared at Xu Bai's face, nodded after hearing the words, and said: "It can be taken out, these Gu worms in the villagers' bodies don't seem to do any direct harm, they just act as An introduction, just like the previous villager."

   "After taking it out, can we find any clues?" Xu Bai asked again.

  Miao Xiao shook his head and said: "I can't find it. This is just an introduction. Anyone who is proficient in raising Gu can make it. It's hard to find."

  Xu Bai fell into deep thought.

  Ye Zi held Xu Bai's arm, and said: "Since these villagers won't be directly harmed, why not keep them for now and see what the other party wants to do with these Gu worms, let's play a long line to catch big fish."

  Xu Bai hummed and agreed.

  Sit back and wait, coupled with leading the snake out of the hole, you may be able to find useful clues.

   According to Feng Shui calculations, there is definitely something wrong here, so if you stay here, you can find clues.

   "Tomorrow morning, after these people come out, let's look at the situation." Xu Bai said.

  After speaking, he picked up the heavy sword method again and continued to watch.

  Everyone nodded, and waited patiently according to what Xu Bai said.

  …

  Time gradually passed, the night passed, and a fish-belly paleness appeared in the sky.

  The next day.

  The villagers in the village all got up early, and at this time, there are already people walking on the road.

  Xu Bai found that something was wrong with these villagers, each of them had a pale face, and at the same time, each of them was somewhat mysterious, as if they were hiding some secret and did not want others to know.

   The paleness may be related to the Gu worms in the body, but there is a secret expression, which proves that there is something wrong inside.

  Xu Bai put the book in his hand back into the package, and when he was thinking about how to open the situation, there was a sound of footsteps.

  The old man I met last night leaned on a cane and walked in front of him, followed by two male villagers.

   "Several, I will ask someone to send you to the city today." The old man was also pale, and his cloudy eyes were dodgy, and he did not meet Xu Bai and the others.

  Xu Bai rubbed his chin and said, "We won't leave today. Last night, a caravan flying pigeons sent a letter saying that we would drop in here. We just happened to go with them."

  The old man was obviously stunned when he heard Xu Bai say this, and it took him a long time to react: "This...isn't very good."

  Xu Bai smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, and we won't disturb the villagers. We'll just sit in this pavilion."

  The old man opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but finally stopped, turned around and left.

   The two villagers who were next to the old man looked at each other, and they left in silence.

  The whole process happened very briefly, and the conversation between the two was very straightforward. One wanted to send the other away, and the old man left also very simply.

   "There's something wrong here." Wu Hua touched her bald head and said.

  Xu Bai looked at the back of the old man leaving, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "So eager to let us go, it seems that he doesn't want us to know something. After I refused just now, he didn't persuade him again, which proves that he has thought of a solution."

  These villagers obviously have a problem, and it can be seen from their expressions.

  He felt that this was the key to a solution.

   "Benefactor Xu, according to your thinking, you will have a clue soon." Wu Hua put down her hand and said.

  Xu Bai stood up and came to the railing of the pavilion, leaning on the railing.

   "Perhaps, just tonight."

   The trip to Lingyun Prefecture was a major change for Xu Bai, and it was very important.
