The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 745: Jiuyou's First Appearance

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, thinking to himself that even if my father beats me to death, I will still be confused with Master Yuxu. What are those bald heads?

I'll go back and read Tao 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 any difference?" Yuxu said: "Or if you want to say it's Jiu 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 inexplicably. He just took a sip of tea and spit out all the words he heard. 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 really 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 have some leisure time?"

"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 playboy and loves to play, but a man who is a hidden dragon cannot be a real fool. 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 can't speak frankly is that they are not sure whether Dao Zun is 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.

It was difficult for Yuxu to deal with a god-demon at the second level of the Realm of Control, and Zhao Changhe was 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 is, as long as he can be sure that Yuxu's attitude towards him, Zhao Changhe, is still the same, it will already make Zhao Changhe breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Yuxu was winnable. 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.

By the way, 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?

Can he recognize it, can Dao 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 and bring down the real person in the face. No matter whether he had hidden non-Buddhist means or not , 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 troubled times list." Yuxu smiled slightly: "Yuancheng and I fought for a long time in the past. Their knowledge of Buddhism is no less than that of Buddhists, I can confirm this.”

Zhao Changhe knew this 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 choked on his throat as he took a sip of tea. He was a little frightened. He felt as if he was involved in something big 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 god and demon wanted to use the skin of Buddhism to do his own thing. At this time, Buddhism was very weak and probably did not meet his needs, so he tried to use the fight with the real person to make Dayan Temple rise again. ." 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 just discusses martial arts."

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

"I am neither a Buddha nor a Taoist. 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.

When Yuxu knew that he was Zhao Changhe, this was actually a clear statement that if you were in my big 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-quarter acre of land in Guanzhong?

Yuxu looked at him for a while, 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 irrelevant, but in fact it is just a continuation of the topic. Dai Qingge was confused, but Zhao Changhe laughed: "On my way to Chang'an, I heard that someone secretly provoked a conflict between the Blood God Cult and Yuan Cheng... It happened that King Zhao passed by and solved it. Now Yuan Cheng is developing quite steadily in Xiangyang. Speaking of this King Zhao, although he is shameless and lustful, he is said to be a handsome man, right? No wonder he is favored by so many beauties. I really don't know how handsome he is. I would like to compare him if there is a chance..."

Yuxu lowered his head to drink tea for the first time, and almost wanted to splash the tea on this guy's face. He is probably the first person in ancient and modern times who is so shameless even with his current status. Forget it, at least you are willing to admit that you are lustful and shameless...

Speaking of which, the background of Zhao Changhe's words is a bit interesting... In other words, if Zhao Changhe had not passed by Xiangyang and had not resolved the provocation in time, then the news that would have spread to Guanzhong would be that the Four Elephants Sect and the Blood God Sect were being xenophobic and not allowing others to preach. Once Yuxu knew about it, he would have no other choice... These people's chess games were so far-reaching... But the more they were spread out, the more Yuxu felt that he was stupid.

Now it is actually equivalent to Zhao Changhe sincerely inviting Taoists to preach in the Han Dynasty. Or it is to ensure that when the Han Dynasty unified Guanlong, the status of Taoists will not be reduced in any way. Now that Guichen and others are doing well, his words are very convincing. And since Guichen and others are preaching, he Yuxu can also retreat to his three Yunshui houses and brew his own rice wine. Obviously a hermit, why bother to wade into the muddy waters of the world?

Yuxu thought for a moment and said slowly, "In fact, I don't care how this Master Kongshi wants to fight. Because no matter what he does, I will do my best to suppress the Buddhist sect in Chang'an."

"Oh?" Zhao Changhe was stunned: "The real person doesn't look like such a ruthless person. He really doesn't give others a bite of food."

"Heh..." Yuxu sipped his tea and said leisurely, "Li Boping relied on the introduction of the power of Buddhism and Taoism to avoid being treated as a grandson by the Hu people. It was also because of the fight between Buddhism and Taoism that he was not treated as a grandson by me or by the Buddhist sect. This balance may be controlled very well, but unfortunately no one wants to play with him in a proper way. I don't know what this Kongshi thinks. For me, as long as I suppress Buddhism and Yuxu is the only one, I can confront Li Boping - either break off with the Hu people, and I can support you in your fight for hegemony; or you go to be a grandson of the Hu people, and I will do nothing. Choose for yourself. "

Zhao Changhe laughed: "It seems that the one who encouraged others to exclude Yuan Cheng and said that he would be the second to return to the world was the real person behind the scenes, squeezing out the Buddhist sect without bloodshed."

Yuxu said leisurely: "Although some unsavory means were used, it is the best way without bloodshed. It's a pity that Kong Shi showed up..."

Zhao Changhe laughed: "Then isn't it quite simple? The real person is now the number one in Shenzhou, just beat him up."

Yuxu said: "I have a reputation now, but reputation is a double-edged sword. For example, I can't go to someone's door like Kong Shi did, and use force to oppress in public, which is too ugly."

"It's just that the real person has to have face... Ask Xia Longyuan and Timur, they are the real number one on the heavenly list. When they want to beat someone, do they have these concerns?"

Yuxu smiled slightly and didn't answer.

It's just a different way. If a Taoist pure cultivator does things like this, it can be said that he has fallen into the devil's way, and it may affect his practice. Besides, Dao Zun will surely like this way of doing things, because it is fast enough... But Dao Zun likes it, but Yuxu may not like it.

In addition... Kong Shi didn't do anything serious today. If he has a strong magic skill, he may not beat him up if he goes to his door. He may get stuck there, which is funny.

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Since the real person has to be proud, we can help him do some things that the real person is not convenient 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 it helping to give advice? For example, the real person can ask people to work overtime today to make a batch of golden bald tops to sell on the market. This is not humiliation, this is called making a joke. Just like a woman wants to scold a man for being unkind and ungrateful, I'm afraid not many people will care, but once she says that he is as big as a toothpick and can't last half a cup of tea, I'm afraid that everyone in Chang'an will know it within two days, and the man will not be able to survive."

Yuxu: "..."

Dai Qingge: "..." How do you know that I can't last half a cup of tea... No, this Qin brother is so vicious!

Before, when I mentioned the bald spinning top casually, no one thought so much. Now that I heard it, I realized that if this thing is really pushed, the Buddhist sect really can't stay 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.

Yuxu was a little bit nervous and shook his head and said, "We don't have a workshop to make these. Even various ritual items are customized from other companies."

Dai Qingge was about to say something but stopped.

Yuxu and Zhao Changhe's eyes fell on him at the same time. Dai Qingge said helplessly, "My family does have a workshop, and it's very large. It's also very fast to quickly cast a mold for this kind of spinning top. If we rush to work today, it can be sold on the market tomorrow night at the latest... But real person, if my family stands on this side..."

Yuxu smiled slightly: "I don't like to force people with martial arts, but it doesn't mean that my third place on the Heavenly Ranking is just for show. If the young master helps me do something, then whoever dares to touch the young master's family will be against my Kunlun Yuxu 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... may have seen it himself... Why the hell is it you...

This might not be a passive stance. 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 pour molds or something, but 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, and 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 those on the list look down on me."

The blind man really wanted to rip his head off.

But he saw Yuxu adding another cup of tea to Zhao Changhe: "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 no results."

Refers to the 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 How is your practice now...I would like to try it if I have the chance."

God damn Renbang, God damn Chili, the one you want to fight is his master, right? Yuxu changed the subject speechlessly: "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 pawn for Zhenren. Nothing is wrong.”

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 pawn 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?

So far, I can’t say 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, the old man will take action. "

After getting this sentence, this trip is basically complete.

Zhao Changhe didn't say any more. He would be wrong if he spoke too much. He didn'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.

Living here is actually a little dangerous. This is Kong Shi or simply Bo Xun's territory... He has offended Bo Xun a lot today. 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 full magic power. If the demonic skills were really exposed in public, then the Buddhist sect would be eliminated directly. Once Buddhism is eliminated and Yuxu's 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 face, and it is almost completed... As for other things, it is really not something that can be done now, it is 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 fear is that the chess eye cannot be found. Once the chess eye is determined, it will be much easier to handle.

While tracing the lines in his mind, he 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, feeling an extremely frightening feeling in his heart.

The darkness of the dark alley seemed to be distorted and magnified. Gradually, it seemed that this alley was not an alley, but was in a vast wilderness. It was 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 howled faintly all around, 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 walks leisurely, as if it has 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 weakest, he saw dependence and a beacon, or he knew that this was the field she created, but he felt an irresistible surrender. . As long as you surrender, of course you don't have to be afraid anymore.

The woman opened her cherry lips slightly, apparently silently, but there seemed to be a chuckle whispering in her ear, accompanied by the delicate jade hand stretched out in front of her, as if saying, kneel down and kiss me, I will give you everything.

Zhao Changhe stared at the slender hand, and his eyes moved upward with great difficulty, meeting the other's lonely eyes, as if inlaid with black gems, beautiful but lifeless.

Large galaxy.

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

The identity of this woman is about to be revealed, the opponent of the Night Emperor, the top demon god of ancient times, representing chaos and annihilation, suspected to be Jiuyou of the third level of the realm of control!

No wonder Yuxu joked that "Jiuyou can be captured", in essence, Yuxu reminded himself that Jiuyou was in Chang'an!

If I had known that she was in Chang'an, who would dare to come here to send her off!
