The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 745 The Nine Netherworlds Begin to Appear

 In the guest hall, the fragrance of tea lingers.

Dai Qingge, who was personally received by the number one person in China to drink tea, almost felt like floating all over. He dazedly took the teacup handed over by Yuxu himself, and thought to himself that even if my father beat me to death, I would still be mixed up with Master Yuxu. What are those bald heads?

 Let's go back and read Dao Zang, I hope it won't be too much...

But I heard "Qin Jiu" say from the side: "I am Qin Jiu, not Qin Jiu..."

 This guy is still confused about this...

"Is there a difference?" Yuxu said, "Or if you want to say it's Jiu, it doesn't seem impossible."

Dai Qingge couldn’t hear the difference between the three words, and his eyes were full of circles.

Zhao Changhe understood it somehow. He just took a sip of tea and spit out all the words. He coughed and choked: "The old Taoist is the best in the world, is this it?"

Yuxu only responded with an expressionless laugh: "Haha."

Zhao Changhe also knew what he was being sarcastic about. It was hard to argue with this. The Demon-Suppressing Division and the Four Elephants Sect were both trapped in the same palace. The Spirit Tribe might not have been so friendly with the Han people in the first place, but now they were sleeping properly. What do you want others to think? He had no choice but to change the subject: "Isn't this tea cheap?"

Yuxu smiled: "The price is more than a thousand gold. How is the quality?"

Zhao Changhe tasted it briefly, smiled and shook his head: "It's better to brew your own rice wine."

Yuxu also shook his head: "I don't have any leisure anymore... If I try to brew it myself, it will be full of tackiness and lose its charm."

“Isn’t it easy to be free?”

 “It just looks simple to others.”

After asking and answering questions, Dai Qingge finally looked at the two of them strangely, and drank tea without saying a word.

 He is a **** and loves to play, but those who climb into the hidden dragon are not really fools. At this moment, I began to wonder if I should find an excuse to go out and give in...

 But it doesn't make sense if he can't get out. The main reason why Zhao Changhe and Yuxu couldn't speak frankly was that they were not sure whether Dao Zun was paying attention.

With Zhao Changhe's current spiritual perception, he can overlook the performance of a city. It would be better to assume that Dao Zun is at the first level of Yujing. If he is at the second level, Yuxu's every move should be under his observation. And is it possible that Dao Zun only has one level? It's impossible. If it were the first level, Yuxu wouldn't be so difficult to deal with.

 A **** and demon with the second level of Realm Control is difficult to deal with. Zhao Changhe is also afraid of being directly pressed to death by the opponent. Blind Blind will not help at this time...

But it doesn't matter what the Taoist priest is, as long as he can be sure that Yuxu's attitude towards Zhao Changhe is still the same, it will already make Zhao Changhe breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Yuxu can be fought for. He was the one who went to the north to watch Timur when he was slaying the dragon. How could he be willing to mix with the forces colluding with the barbarians? It was just a waste of time. And now that I have contacted him, I just want to see if I can relieve him of some concerns.

Speaking of which, how could the old Taoist priest recognize him at a glance... Well, was it because he saw that he had pretended to be Wang Daozhong? Or was it because his wind-controlling method just now made him recognize the resemblance of his old friend Ye Wujiang?

He can recognize it, can Tao Zun?

Zhao Changhe sipped his tea and pondered for a moment, then decided to touch on the topic from another aspect: "Today's Master Kong Shi... it felt weird. In the end, he seemed to want to hurt the crowd of onlookers to put the real person in the face. Regardless of whether he had hidden non-Buddhist methods, Anyone who can think like this is already a demon and not a Buddha."

"There are no divine monks of the Kong character generation in the world... Even if there were, there would be no such powerful ones who suddenly appeared, and they would not be on the list of troubled times." Yuxu smiled slightly: "Yuancheng and I fought for a long time in the past, and I have no respect for them. The knowledge of Buddhism is no less than that of Buddhists, I can confirm this."

Zhao Changhe knew it and asked: "So where did he come from?"

Yuxu glanced at Dai Qingge and said with a smile: "It should be the gods and demons of the past who borrowed the skin of Buddhism."

 Dai Qingge had a sip of tea stuck in his throat. He was a little frightened. He felt as if he was involved in some major event that the family could not mess with. No wonder I thought this Buddha was weird before, but now it seems that I should let my father and second uncle decisively evacuate this whirlpool.

"It seems that this **** and demon wants to use the skin of Buddhism to do his own thing. At this time, Buddhism is very weak, and it probably does not meet his needs, so he is trying to make Dayan Temple rise again by fighting with the real person. Zhao Changhe said leisurely: "If he is a normal Buddhist, he will slowly argue with the real person, but he can't wait and wants to use the fastest method, so he directly discusses martial arts."

Yuxu nodded: "That's right. What do you think, little brother?"

“I am neither a Buddha nor a Taoist, so I have no opinion on who wins and who loses. I will support whose scriptures make sense to me.” Zhao Changhe paused at this point and observed Yu Xu’s expression.

These words, when Yuxu knew that he was Zhao Changhe, actually made it clear that if you were in my Han Dynasty, you could also preach. Although the Four Symbols Religion is the state religion, the state religion cannot conquer everyone. Now that Yuan Cheng has moved to Xiangyang Yuxu, he must also know that everyone competes fairly, so why bother doing things he doesn't like in this three-acre area of ​​​​Guanzhong?

Yuxu looked at him for a while, and then suddenly changed a seemingly unrelated topic: "I heard that Yuancheng has been in conflict with the Blood God Sect since he went to Xiangyang. Alas, preaching is difficult."

This sounds unrelated, but in fact it just goes straight to the topic. Dai Qingge was confused, but Zhao Changhe laughed: "On the way to Chang'an, I heard that someone secretly instigated the conflict between the Blood God Cult and Yuancheng. ...It happened to be solved by King Zhao passing by, and now Yuan Cheng is developing quite smoothly in Xiangyang. Speaking of which, King Zhao, although lustful and shameless, is said to be a handsome man, right? No wonder he is favored by so many beauties, I really don’t know how many Handsome, I would like to compare if I have the chance..."

Yuxu lowered his head to drink tea for the first time, and almost wanted to throw the tea in this guy's face. He is probably the first person in ancient times to be so shameless despite his current status. Forget it, you are willing to admit that you are lustful and shameless...

Having said that, the background of what Zhao Changhe said is a bit interesting... In other words, if Zhao Changhe had not passed by Xiangyang and failed to resolve the provocation in time, then the news that had reached Guanzhong was that the Blood God Sect of the Four Elephants Sect was aggressively xenophobic and would not allow others to preach. Once he, Yuxu, knew about it, he would have no other choice...these people's chess game was spread out so far...but the more spread out it was, the more it made Yuxu feel like a fool, being a seasoned fool?

 Now it is actually equivalent to Zhao Changhe sincerely inviting Taoists to preach in the Han Dynasty. Or perhaps it was to ensure that when the Han unified Guanlong, the status of Taoism would not be reduced in any way. Now that Guichen and others are prospering, his words are very convincing. And since Gui Chen and others are preaching, he, Yuxu, can completely retreat to his three rooms in Yunshui House and brew his own rice wine. Why should he come to the troubled waters of this world when he is obviously an expert in the world?

Yuxu thought for a while and said slowly: "Actually, it doesn't matter how Master Kong Shi wants to fight. Because no matter what he does, the old Taoist will try his best to suppress Chang'an Buddhism."

"Oh?" Zhao Changhe was startled: "The real person doesn't look like such a ruthless person, so he really doesn't give others a bite to eat."

"Ha..." Yuxu sipped tea and said leisurely: "Li Boping relied on the help of the Buddhist and Taoist families to avoid being regarded as a grandson by the barbarians. It was also because of the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism that Li Boping would not be regarded as a grandson by me or the Buddhists. Sun Tzu. This balance control may be very good, but unfortunately no one wants to play with him in a good manner. I don’t know what Kong Shi thinks. For the old Taoist, as long as the Buddhism is suppressed, I, Yuxu, If you dominate, then you can have a showdown with Li Boping—either cut off your seat with the Hu people, and the old Taoist can support you in your struggle for hegemony; or you can become the grandson of the Hu people, and the old Taoist can stand by and make your own choice."

Zhao Changhe laughed: "It seems that he was the one who encouraged others to squeeze out Yuan Cheng, saying that he would be the second to die. It was the real person who was behind the scenes and squeezed out the Buddhist sect without any bloodshed."

Yuxu said leisurely: "Although I have used some less-than-glorious means, it does not require bloodshed and is actually the best way. It's a pity that this empty release has appeared..."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Isn't this quite simple? The real person is now number one in China, just beat him up."

Yuxu said: "Pindao has a reputation now, but reputation is a double-edged sword. For example, Pindao cannot come to someone's house like Kong Shi and bully him in public. It would be too ugly."

“It’s just a real person who wants to save face...Ask Xia Longyuan and Timur. They are the real number one in the world. Do they have these scruples when they want to beat someone?”

Yu Xu smiled slightly but did not answer.

It’s just that the Tao is different. If a Taoist cultivator does the same thing, it can be said to have fallen into the devil’s path, and it may even affect his practice. In addition, Dao Zun will probably like this way of doing things, because it is fast enough... But if Dao Zun likes it, Yuxu may not like it.

Besides...Kong Shi didn't do anything serious today at all. If he was hiding a powerful magic power, he might not necessarily beat someone up if he came to him, but it might be funny if he fell there instead.

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Since the real person wants face, we can help do some things that are inconvenient for the real person to do..."

Yuxu also had a smile in his eyes. He was looking forward to Zhao Changhe's performance more than anyone else: "How can you help?" Zhao Changhe said: "Is giving an idea help? Just like a real person can make people work overtime today. A batch of golden bald tops are bought in the market. This is not humiliation, this is making a fuss. Just like if a woman wants to scold a man for being ruthless and unlucky, not many people will care, but once she says that he is as big as a toothpick and will last less than half the time, A cup of tea, I’m afraid everyone in Chang’an will know about it within two days, and that man won’t be able to survive anymore.”

 Yuxu: “…”

Dai Qingge: "..." How did you know I had less than half a cup of tea... Uh, no, this brother Qin is so vicious!

 When I mentioned the bald top casually before, no one thought much about it. Now that I have been told this, I realize that if this thing is really pushed away, Buddhists should really stop hanging out in Chang'an. Even those who are more inclined to Buddhism are not afraid of being laughed at like a spinning top! Killing without blood is this.

Yuxu was a little nervous and shook his head: "We don't have a workshop to make these. Even all kinds of ritual items are ordered from other companies."

Dai Qingge was about to speak but stopped.

Yuxu, Zhao Changhe's eyes fell on him at the same time, and Dai Qingge said helplessly: "My family has a very big workshop. It's also very fast to cast a mold for this kind of top. If we rush the work today, it will be on the market tomorrow night at the latest." Sold... But real person, if my family takes sides like this..."

Yuxu smiled slightly: "Pindao doesn't like to use force to force others, but it doesn't mean that Pindao's third place in the ranking is just good-looking. If the young master helps Pindao do things, then whoever dares to touch the young master's house will be with me, Kunlun Yuxu I can’t get through the palace.”

After saying these words, Dai Qingge was completely relieved. The so-called whether to listen to the Buddha or to listen to the Tao is nothing more than a choice for each family to take sides, and what side can be compared to the personal promise of being ranked third on the heavenly list? This thigh has been firmly tied. As long as things are done well, the Dai family's success will be just around the corner in the future. His father will only praise him and will never have any objections.

 What's more, this Brother Qin...maybe he has seen it himself...Why the **** is it you...

This is not necessarily a passive position. Fortunately, there is no clear card. It seems that it is not impossible to consider it as a secret hookup. Dai Qingge glanced at Zhao Changhe helplessly and sighed: "Okay, in that case, I'll leave now and go do some work first. I need to cast molds or something. If I'm late, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

 After saying that, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Yuxu and Zhao Changhe watched this guy leave. Yuxu smiled: "There is no one like him on the list of troubled times."

Zhao Changhe said: "I don't know when I will be on the list. It seems that the people on the list look down on me."

The blind man really wanted to rip his head off.

But Yuxu gave Zhao Changhe another cup of tea: "I think Mr. Qin is only one step away from being on the list, or to put it simply, he should have been on the list, but he has not achieved any results."

　　refers to Tianbang.

Zhao Changhe said: "I don't want to have any fight with the people on the Shenzhou list, um... The most prominent Hu people on the list now seem to be the former number one Qianlong, the demon fox Chili? He has no record for a long time, I don't know what he is doing now How is your practice going... I would like to try it if I have the chance."

 Shenfu Renbang, Shenfu Chili, the one you want to fight is his master, right? Yuxu was speechless and changed the subject: "Since Mr. Qin is helping the old Taoist, what do you hope to get from the old Taoist?"

"It's nothing." Zhao Changhe sipped his tea and said leisurely: "I simply hate Hu people and am happy to help Zhenren. If Zhenren can really dominate Guanzhong and squeeze out the Hu people, then I can be a **** for Zhenren. There’s nothing wrong with that.”

 From the beginning to the end, the two sides were talking about the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism and the resistance to the Hu people, and could not touch on the difficult problems behind Yuxu. But Zhao Changhe's last sentence finally made a point. Is this **** only targeting the Hu people, or does it mean that if he has other enemies in Yuxu, he is willing to help solve them together?

 That’s it for now, I can’t say much more. Zhao Changhe drank all the tea, stood up and said, "I'm very happy to meet the third person on the Heavenly Ranking today. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. I hope I'll have the opportunity to listen to the real person preach the wonderful Dharma again in the future."

Yuxu nodded and handed over a small wooden sign: "Sir, with this sign, you can enter and exit Louguantai at any time. I am a Qing Taoist cultivator, and there are few people who are good at planning. Now that I have been involved in the dispute with Kong Shi, I will give more. Idea. If there is any crisis because of this, the veteran will take action."

 With this sentence, this trip is basically complete.

Zhao Changhe didn't say any more. He would be wrong if he spoke too much. I don't know if any of the words he just said missed the point. It would be troublesome if the Taoist Master reacted.

He took the small wooden sign and resigned, all the way back to the vicinity of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. I plan to find an inn to stay there so I can meet Yue Hongling at any time.

 It is actually a little dangerous to live here. This is Kong Shi or simply Bo Xun's territory... Today he has offended Bo Xun a lot. If he finds out that he lives nearby, he will definitely come to trouble him. Once the opponent's magic power is fully activated, you may not necessarily be your opponent.

But Zhao Changhe is not afraid of this. What he is afraid of is that you don't have all your magic powers. If the demonic skills were really exposed in public, then the Buddhist sect would be eliminated directly. Once Buddhism is eliminated and the Yuxu family becomes the dominant one, he can really have a showdown with the Li family and either draw a line with the Hu people or Yuxu withdraws.

In other words, the goal of my trip is to find out Bo Xun's true identity, and that's almost complete... As for other things, it's really not something I can do now, it's too complicated and cumbersome.

 Being able to determine the goal of this step already makes people feel very comfortable. No matter what the game is, the biggest fear is not finding the chess eye. Once the chess eye is determined, it will be much easier to handle.

As I was stroking the lines in my mind, I happened to walk into a deserted alley.

 It was already very late when we left Louguantai. At this time, the sun had completely set. On a lightly snowy winter night, the sky was pitch black. There are still lights in Chang'an City, as if it never sleeps, but when you get into the alley, you can't feel the meaning of this nightless city at all, it's pitch black.

Zhao Changhe suddenly slowed down, and a feeling of extreme panic arose in his heart for no apparent reason.

 The darkness of the dark alley seemed to be distorted and magnified. Gradually, it felt like this alley was not an alley, but in a vast wilderness, surrounded by deathly desolation and darkness, and boundless fear spread in my heart. This kind of fear is very different from the fear of blood evil. It stems from loneliness and weakness, a guilty conscience and fear in the face of boundless darkness.

The dark wind all around was howling faintly, like a ghost crying.

 Zhao Changhe's cold sweat unknowingly spread across his forehead. This was an extremely powerful spiritual attack, enough to make people fall into the night forever and go crazy in fear and weakness.

A graceful figure walked leisurely, as if it had its own BGM like the dark night wind, walking slowly, with its delicate hands slightly stretched forward, as if to say, don't be afraid, as long as you obey my orders, there will be no more panic in this dark night.

Zhao Changhe had the urge to kneel down and bow his head... just like when he was most frightened and weak, he saw dependence and a beacon, or he knew that this was the realm she created, but felt an irresistible surrender. As long as you surrender, of course you don't have to be afraid anymore.

The woman opened her lips lightly, and it was silent, but there seemed to be a chuckle whispering in her ears. Along with the jade hands stretched out in front of her, it seemed to be saying, Kneel down and kiss me, I will give you everything.

Zhao Changhe stared closely at the slender hand, his eyes moved upward with great difficulty, and met the other person's quiet eyes, which were as beautiful as inlaid with black gems, but lifeless.

 Large Galaxy.

 —The blind man said, if so, it would be more like Jiuyou.

The identity of this woman is about to come out. The opponent of the Night Emperor, the top demon **** in ancient times, represents chaos and annihilation, and is suspected of being the third level of the imperial realm, Jiuyou!

No wonder Yuxu would make a joke about "Jiuyou can be captured". The essence is that Yuxu is reminding himself that Jiuyou is in Chang'an!

Had I known she was in Chang'an, who would have dared to come here to see her off!
