The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 110 can't be washed away

   No wonder Ruyan's strange eyes, in people's minds, he, Zhao Changhe, has a crush on Yue Hongling, even Mrs. Yazhai finds someone who looks like Yue Hongling, and she was dumped just because of this, making those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.

  I don't know how many people in the world are waiting to see the fun scene when he meets the real Yue Hongling!

  Zhao Changhe didn’t expect Yue Hongling to be in Yangzhou. It’s a coincidence... Although everyone really doesn’t have the kind of relationship that other people imagined, but it’s been a long time since I haven’t seen her. It’s really a surprise that her old friend is here. I don’t know how she is now...

  She travels all over the world and stops here because she has seen too many injustices here...

  Yangzhou is so big, where do I have to meet her...

  Looking at his distracted appearance for a moment, Ruyan's crush on Yue Hongling in Ruyan's eyes is simply a real hammer. After croaking for a long time, Ruyan forgot the horror of being killed, and started jumping on the verge of death again: "Young master really likes Yue Hongling, Ruyan can pretend to be her..."

  Zhao Changhe was taken aback. How could I die if Yue Hongling found out about this **** thing? Immediately waved his hand: "Forget it, I have already played with fakes."

   Ruyan covered his mouth and laughed. Not only did she play, but she also ran away. We all understand: "So the young master is going to find the real thing? But we don't know where she lives, we only know that she has appeared nearby."

   Zhao Changhe really blurted out and asked, "What is she doing here?"

  Ru Yan said: "She killed an official."

  Zhao Changhe: "?"

  Ru Yan let out a low sigh: "Forcing conscripts to dredge the river, and dragging wives and daughters into the draft..."

   As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower: "At that time, if I could also meet a Yue Nv Xia... why did it come to this..."

  Zhao Changhe pursed his lips and said nothing.

  It will always be the first time I saw it.

   There is also her part in lawlessness... always reminding myself of what kind of person I want to be.

Ruyan said: "Anyway, Yue Nvxia killed the official, or she has already left. Even if she enters the city, no one will know where she lives. If you want to find her, you might as well go to the street and shout that Zhao Changhe is here." , please see Yue Nvxia."

   "I'm afraid you want to have fun?"

   Ruyan covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

  Zhao Changhe couldn't hold back his face anymore, and if he wanted to know about Yue Hongling's recent situation, he could only change the topic: "I said, what are we doing talking about this? Is it off topic? I originally wanted you to tell a story."

   "But the young master asked about Master Wan's current practice, and Ruyan really didn't know about it."

  Zhao Changhe nodded, thinking to himself.

  In fact, the reference value of the hidden dragon list is a bit false...it proves your potential by a dazzling record, but the improvement in strength is invisible. For example, when I climbed to the eighth eighth level, I was at the third level of the entrance, and everyone knew it at that time. In a few days, no one knew about the Cui family’s fourth level. Ascension, the toughness of the meridians has also been strengthened, and it will be even stronger if you count the power of the dragon bird.

  Han Wubing's Xuanguan is the fifth level, and it is also the fifth level on the Qianlong list, far surpassing the average level, but he is not much better than himself. If someone really used his strength at that time to estimate himself, he would probably die an ugly death.

  Wan Dongliu has been on the 70th list of Qianlong for at least a year. Anyway, he was 70th before he crossed over. Can his performance at that time still count now?

  Not everyone wants to show their holiness and compete for rankings. There are also people who pretend to be pigs and tigers to make money silently, and there should be many. Of course, some people may regress, which is not surprising.

  Anyway, this topic is not suitable for questioning, it is too easy to arouse suspicion from others, what do you want to do?

Zhao Changhe could only continue to ask other topics: "You heard what Brother Wan said at the dinner just now. The Maitreya Sect and I have a lot of fate, the enemy of the enemy. It's a pity that I haven't met the Buddhas of the Maitreya Sect. Now, if I want to visit, where should I go?"

   A trace of panic flashed in Ruyan's eyes, she lowered her head and said, "Ruyan doesn't know."

  The Maitreya religion is not in its infancy in the early days of wide-ranging kindness, but Zhenmasi has already revealed that it is a traitor. Wan Dongliu and Zhao Changhe can talk a lot, but she dare not show that she is a Maitreya follower.

  Zhao Changhe could see her fear, and said with a broken smile: "I believe in Buddhism, and I want to worship Maitreya Buddha, which temple should I go to in Yangzhou?"

  Ruyan said in a low voice: "When we worship Buddha, we usually go to Bailian Temple ten miles outside the city."

  Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Aren't there any in the city?"

   "The government doesn't allow it." Ruyan said in a low voice, "Even the temples outside the city cannot openly worship Maitreya."

  Zhao Changhe nodded. No matter how bad the other aspects of the imperial court were, at least the Zhenmagic Division under the auspices of Tang Wanzhuang was still alive.

   But now it seems that the Maitreya Sect has infiltrated everywhere, and even the Cao Gang, a big gang that must be related to the government, has been counted as one of them. How long can Tang Wanzhuang continue to work hard?

   Millions of water workers... Once something goes wrong...

  Thinking about it makes me shudder.

   The more he understood, the more he realized the complexity of the situation. Zhao Changhe wanted to find Yue Hongling more and more, and wanted to discuss with her what to do. I always feel that when Yue Hongling is around, I have a strong backbone. Even Tang Wanzhuang can't give me such a feeling...but Yue Hongling is obviously younger than me...

"Okay." Zhao Changhe took out an ingot of silver and put it in Ruyan's hand: "It's almost dawn... I am very satisfied with your service tonight, remember to tell your mother how many positions you used tomorrow, don't talk about it One night, I'm afraid you will be beaten. Go."

  Ruyan was stunned for a moment, her expression was weird at first, and then slowly turned into gratitude.

  Not only did he not blame himself for not serving well, but he actually gave a tip, and he was also worried that he might be beaten if he did not serve well...

  ...

  In the early morning, ten miles east of the city, Bailian Temple.

  Yue Hongling lurks on the beam, looking at the scene in the palace with cold eyes.

  The villagers in ragged clothes couldn't afford to eat by themselves, so they dedicated their last rations here, and finally left gratefully.

  Last night, she saw some girls performing certain rituals as if they were brainwashed, and she knew what would happen next. But it seemed that the other party would have to wait for some time, as the imagined "ceremony" did not take place last night, so Yue Hongling endured it for the time being, intending to figure out a little more about the routine taught by Maitreya.

  She has been in the north all year round, and only went south this year. Like Zhao Changhe, she had never heard of Maitreya teaching. When I went south, I came into contact with it. At first, I thought that Maitreyaism was a Buddha who saved people from suffering, but after a period of careful understanding, I felt that it was worse than many bandits.

  A few days ago, a "Buddha" even tried to trick her into becoming a celestial maiden, and now she has cut off her head. From then on, Yue Hongling's trip to the south of the rivers and lakes basically focused on the Maitreya Sect.

   As of now, I don't know enough, I only know one thing and don't know the other. This Bailian Temple was just discovered, and she planned to observe more.

  Yue Hongling is sassy and forthright, it is easy to give the impression of being rough and bold, but in fact she is more refined than most people.

   This is actually very Zhao Changhe. Both can always see a reflection of themselves in the other.

  While in the observation room, someone hurried into the hall and whispered to the abbot: "Zhao Changhe stayed in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion last night, and the head card Ruyan slept with him."

  Yue Hongling pricked up his ears.

   "Oh? Did you find anything?"

   "The people below said that Zhao Changhe seemed to be done in a few breaths."

  Yue Hongling: "..."

  The abbot smiled and said: "This is not very good. Most of the people who join my teaching come to solve this trouble. We have our own way to make him stay strong for as long as he wants."

   "But later Ruyan said that Zhao Changhe was very brave after playing various poses with her all night."

   "Oh? Why is this coming back?"

   "Ruyan reckoned that it was because Yue Hongling was mentioned in the chat, and he was very excited."

  Yue Hongling: "..."

  The abbot thought about it for a while, and said with a broken smile, "Let Nianhua Tiannv dress up as Yue Hongling, and replace Ruyan to accompany him tonight. It seems that Zhao Changhe is easier to subdue than we imagined."

  ——

  PS: There is still nothing tonight, the beginning of the new plot is still polished a little bit, and the feeling of looking back on the previous two days is a bit rough.
