The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 617: Knowing how to hunt rivers and mountains

When Tang Wanzhuang and Qin Dingjiang went to the Imperial Study Room, at the other end of the palace, under the Ancestral Temple where Xia Longyuan had been in seclusion for a long time, Xia Longyuan was recuperating with his eyes closed.

 In the battle at sea, his soul was destroyed. His injuries to his body were not serious, but they were not serious either.

 After all, it is a type of soul injury. It has a relatively large impact on the performance of the imperial realm. It is impossible to exert the original power. It is not easy to evaluate the specific level.

 In fact, under normal circumstances, ordinary imperial realm is enough.

In the Maitreya Secret Realm, Xuewu was just an ordinary imperial realm. The soul was almost recovered, but it had no body. It was a mess and it was a mess. It was necessary for Ying Wusanniang, Cui Wenjing, Yang Jingxiu, Yang Jingxiu and Yuancheng to return to the dust. The siege of Tianbang and Dibang was finally settled. Xia Longyuan is now much stronger than Xuewu at the moment, and it is still enough to suppress this world without Yujing.

No one in this world would have thought before that that Xia Longyuan was one level stronger than everyone else...

 Because he is too strong, his mentality despises everything. It can be said that there are only two people in the world that he can respect.

One is Zhao Changhe. He is even closer to Zhao Changhe than he is to his daughter, and his expectations for Zhao Changhe's future are higher than a blind man's expectations for Zhao Changhe - this is how old players see new players, and they can't wait to use him. They all give it to newcomers, and they are too lazy to write an 800-word essay. Writing a guide for newcomers can take up to several thousand words.

 It’s a pity that this newcomer also dances. I don’t want anything else but your daughter.

**** it.

 The other one is Tang Wanzhuang. Tang Wanzhuang thought it was the righteousness between the emperor and his ministers, and the kindness of knowing and meeting him, but in fact, it was a feeling of respect in Xia Longyuan's heart - no one disrespected the true loyal ministers and good generals. Going back to ancient times to be the emperor and having Wuhou Wumu by his side would be something that would make you laugh out of your dreams. , the premise is that you have to know people and find your own Wuhou.

Xia Longyuan didn't know many people, but everyone in the world knew Tang Wanzhuang's exhaustion while coughing up blood.

 For Tang Wanzhuang, this kind of trust was indeed a sign of acquaintance.

Xia Longyuan's healing efficiency is not very high. Soul injuries have always been difficult to deal with. Even if Zhao Changhe used dual cultivation skills and the Rejuvenation Technique, it would take several days. He had neither, and could only rely on medicine to slowly recover. He paid no attention to the changes in the outside world these days and could not be distracted.

At this moment Xia Longyuan suddenly opened his eyes: "Who is blocking Beimang's shaking dragon vein?"

 He suddenly took action and pointed towards the sky beneath the earth.

It was like pointing to the position between Beimang and the capital on a map, and then a finger descended from the void and attacked the mountains.

 A Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged in the mountains, raising his palms in a salute.

 Soft energy emerged, clashed with the shadow of the fingers, and dissipated without leaving a trace.

The Taoist opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "This is the only trick I can do, so Your Majesty can take care of himself."

Kunlun Yuxu, fourth on the Heavenly List!

Xia Longyuan's expression became unusually serious: "Why do you, an outsider, get involved?"

"We are all in the human world, what is the outside world..." Yuxu smiled: "Your Majesty, as an emperor, cannot make the people live in peace, but it becomes the source of chaos; as a warrior, he cannot promote good and eliminate evil, but becomes the root of evil. You suppress the world, We don’t dare to do anything without permission, it’s like watching a naughty kid messing around at home, but no matter how calm a family member is, there will be times when they can’t bear it anymore... I think His Majesty might as well come to Kunlun, have a glass of wine with the old Taoist, and the old Taoist sweeps the couch to welcome you.”

 After saying that, he stood up and drifted northward: "The old Taoist went to look at Timurmo and said that people outside the world don't care about mountains and rivers, maybe they care more than you do."

"Boom!" Before Xia Longyuan could say anything else, the mountain suddenly shook, and the passage to the secret realm of the Imperial Ancestral Temple opened inexplicably.

Xia Longyuan didn't care to pay attention to Beimang in the distance. He looked at the figure appearing in the smoke and said slowly: "Ying Wu... If you don't go dig the soil and drill holes, what will the world have to do with you?"

Ying Wu stood under the high platform, still smiling like a good businessman: "Ying is just drilling a hole, your majesty's hole is quite warm."

Xia Longyuan: "?"

 Ying Wu: “…”

"I don't like jokes, especially vulgar jokes like this." Xia Longyuan said slowly: "Ying Wu, even if the whole world turns against me, I still feel that you should not be among them."

Ying Wuqi asked: "Why? Because you don't use your power to monopolize the secret realm, allowing me to find it freely?"

Xia Longyuan said: "Isn't it true? If I didn't monopolize resources and let you all have their own steps, how could you, Yingwu, be where you are today?"

Ying Wu raised his head and thought for a while, then sighed: "You don't wrap up the secret realm. Firstly, you don't want the spiritual energy to revive, and secondly, you want to provoke various families to compete. It's not An's good intentions. Why do you say so grandly? That can only Coax your own loyal ministers such as Tang Wanzhuang, and she will believe that it is because of His Majesty's magnanimity. Having said that, even if you monopolize, you can only cover clear places like Gujian Lake, and more secret places cannot be covered. Just like Ying's early career was basically discovered in the wind and sand when he was a horse bandit in the northwest. What does it have to do with you... On the contrary, your instigation caused Ying to encounter an extremely fierce dispute. There are brothers Died because of it.”

Xia Longyuan said: "Is this the reason for your rebellion against me? Even if your brother died in a fight, you can't blame me. How ridiculous."

Ying Wu shook his head: "It's not entirely His Majesty's fault. Let's put it this way... His Majesty treats himself as well as others, always thinking about monopolizing Bao Yuan or something... But Your Majesty, Ying never said that my goal is to monopolize the secret realm."

Xia Longyuan was stunned for a moment, then heard Ying Wu continue: "All I want is to find them... If he is an emperor who is committed to this, Ying is even willing to take action."

Xia Longyuan frowned slightly.

Ying Wu said slowly: "My target is a certain **** and demon, and your majesty's target is all gods and demons. Theoretically, you and I should have the best basis for cooperation, but unfortunately, your majesty has not thought about this at all. You You only have eyes for yourself, which only adds more obstacles. If someone like you... advises you, it’s better to stop occupying the latrine and let go.”

Xia Longyuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, who should I give it to? Wang Daoning? Come out and see me."

In the darkness behind Ying Wu, a strong man like an iron tower walked out slowly and saluted: "I have met your Majesty."

Xia Longyuan smiled and said: "Li Shentong...Wang Daoning didn't come? What else is there to hide at this time? Why don't you play with me?"

Li Shentong looked calm: "Wang Daoning went to kill the Chief Tang... because no one is willing to take action against the Chief Tang, only he is willing. To be honest with your majesty, Wang Daoning has broken through the imperial realm at this time, and he may kill the Chief Tang very quickly. Let’s turn around and face His Majesty without delay.”

Xia Longyuan's expression changed slightly for the first time, and he looked a little angry. Li Shentong sighed and said: "We have an accomplice who secretly notified Chief Tang to evacuate behind our backs... We actually knew it, but we didn't stop him. We hope Chief Tang will really evacuate. Dealing with her is not what we want. But if she withdraws , then there will be no one to hold Wang Daoning on your behalf, and your Majesty will be even more dangerous."

Xia Longyuan looked better and smiled slightly: "Could this accomplice be...Suzaku?"

 At this point, everyone on both sides in the solemn atmosphere actually started to smile. Among them, Ying Wu smiled bitterly: "Not bad."

 “It seems that everyone knows?”

　　… “Everyone knows it, but in my opinion, only the person involved doesn’t know about it.”

Xia Longyuan said: "You said that if we expose her later in the fight, will her combat power be halved?"

 Everyone held their hands and said nothing. No, is now the time to talk about this?

"Okay." Xia Longyuan really didn't like joking, so he turned to ask Lishen Channel: "I have always wanted to ask you something..."

Lishen Channel: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Your level of martial arts is even better than mine. I've asked Wan Zhuang. Regarding the current decline of Bashu, your muscular men who only know how to roll stones and drink wine don't have any good ideas. Because you massacred aristocratic families. , you can’t even find any scholars who can give you advice. The territory is in a mess, no better than when Zhai Muzhi was here." Xia Longyuan smiled and said: "So you are starting a rebellion, publicly? Privately?"

"Although everyone is at a loss as to what to do, at least we will no longer be bullied." Li Shentong said calmly: "When I started the incident, I actually didn't think about what I was going to do, let alone that I could replace His Majesty. .”

"what is that?"

"It's just a common man's anger, blood splashed five steps, the world is plain, that's all." Li Shen said: "Zhai Mu is no more than a piece of cake, and now the battle will be enough."

Xia Longyuan was suddenly in a trance.

Ying Wuqi asked: "What is your Majesty thinking about?"

Xia Longyuan sighed: "I liked this sentence very much when I was a boy...but I never thought that this sentence would be used to kill me."

Everyone was silent.

Xia Longyuan said: "You two are not enough. Li Gongsi and Yang Jingxiu, please come out. I am not in the mood to talk to each other one by one."

 The two heads of the aristocratic families walked out of the darkness with swords in hand and remained silent.

Xia Longyuan was a little surprised: "Your sword... has revived?"

Yang Jingxiu sighed: "The King of the Sea has fallen, and his energy has no owner. Brother Daoning shared with us some methods of transferring and absorbing the energy of the sea clan to replenish the sword spirit. Everyone's sword spirit has indeed been restored."

Xia Longyuan remained silent and plundered the sword spirits of various families. This incident was the main reason why each family abandoned their vacillating stance and clearly opposed themselves. There was nothing to say.

Yang Jingxiu said: "Actually, I know why your majesty wanted to plunder the sword spirit. It's not that your majesty is greedy for that little thing, it's just to weaken the family's bloodless skills. From your majesty's point of view, it's understandable, but it's a pity that everyone has the opposite position."

Xia Longyuan nodded and said no more: "Except for Zhuque and Wang Daoning, are everyone here? If there are only a few of you, it still won't be enough."

Yang Jingxiu slowly took out another sword: "Brother Cui also asked me to say hello to His Majesty."

Xia Longyuan whispered: "Qinghe..."

Cui Wenjing, who was still lying on the bed from her injuries, expressed her breakup in this way. The Cui family was obviously fighting to the death with the Wang family, but they had reached the same attitude towards Xia Longyuan.

 The emergence of Qinghe Sword is not just a matter of attitude.

As Yang Jingxiu took out Qinghe Lianshan, Li Gongsi, the head of the Li family who had been silent over there, also took out another sword, the Zhenhai sword of the Wang family.

Together with the Li family's own swords, the four swords suddenly spread out and were automatically inserted in all directions of the high platform.

These are four swords that represent the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of the human world. They gather into a formation and have extremely strong representative significance.

Everyone present can feel the aura of the mountains, rivers and dragons being cut off. The mountains and rivers on all sides do not recognize its owner, and there is only a solitary person on the stage.

"You have cut off the foundation of my practice step by step from the world structure, to Beimang Qi Meridian, to the family sword formation." Xia Longyuan said calmly: "The idea is right, but you are a little too hasty... to make the world feel like Da Xia Wujun , it’s still a little bit worse…”

 Li Gongsi whispered: "Your Majesty always ignores some inconspicuous people, but they may bring you harm that you have never thought of."

At this moment, the fake in the imperial study issued an order to be executed by the Tang family.

 The dragon's energy suddenly disappears, and the mountains and rivers are isolated.

Obviously he was on the stargazing platform of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, but Xia Longyuan in Taichung seemed to be on an isolated island. No one in the world recognized him as the emperor.

 Xia Longyuan's expression changed slightly. Everyone present could clearly feel that Xia Longyuan's aura was originally integrated with this place, and everyone could not even find the point of attack, but at this moment his aura became independent and extremely clear.

If Zhao Changhe were here, he might call this phenomenon...a bright blood bar.
