The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 852 New bargaining chip

Ye Jiuyou angrily used a purification technique, trying to return the pool to its original point.

Zhao Changhe could never figure out why they, practitioners who could clean and purify the earth and ocean with magic, still used water to bathe.

 In the end, the trick was released, and the slugs did disappear, but the pool still felt like there was something more, and it was no longer the quiet and secluded lake it was before.

Ye Jiuyou was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and frowned.

There is indeed something in the pool... It was not an exaggeration to say that this place was stagnant water. Ordinary life would surely die if thrown in. But now it has begun to have the power of life. If there are hundreds of millions of years of evolution, it will probably be able to give birth to itself. The original creature.

"Is this the obstruction they deliberately created for me?" Ye Jiuyou whispered to himself. Strangely, he didn't feel that there was any obstruction at all. Instead, he felt that the pool of water was unexpectedly more comfortable than before.

 There is a bit of warmth, it is no longer purely cold.

Speaking of causing trouble, that slug was really causing trouble before. What a dirty thing!

Ye Jiuyou stretched out her slender hand to flick the water surface in ecstasy, looking at the ripples. She didn't know what she was thinking for a long time.

There is a jade bracelet on the hand, which looks so strange against the white and crystal clear wrist.

 After scrubbing my neck, I touched the necklace.

 What are you doing in such a big way? Is it interesting? Yes, when he returns to Tianhe tonight, is he doing some shady things with these women, while I am alone here looking at myself in the mirror?

Cui Yuanyang really wants to go home. There have been enough adventures and excitement recently, and she thinks that the continued battle between gods and demons is not suitable for her. She might as well go home to be with her parents and help Tang Wanzhuang. Of course, I have to squeeze my husband hard before going home, so as not to feed these **** **** with **** and big butts.

In this world, Xuanwu seems to be a lazy woman with **** and a big butt.

 The person in the mirror is mysterious and charming, and he does look better than before.

Ye Jiuyou took several deep breaths and left the base camp angrily. He glanced at a group of dull corpses guarding the surrounding area, and then angrily kicked him away: "They are so stupid that they have no sense of humanity at all! "

That’s right. How could Piaomiao’s indifferent and aloof character be like him in front of a bunch of people?

Zhao Changhe's words flashed through his mind, and Ye Jiuyou suddenly became a little irritable. He slapped the water surface fiercely, causing splashes all over the sky.

 It turns out that it is more than just human aesthetics... the key is whether it has meaning or not.

"Bang!" Ye Jiuyou hit the soul-capturing mirror with a palm, and the mirror shattered into pieces.

Ye Jiuyou took a deep breath and suddenly stood up from the pool, with the original dark robe naturally appearing on his body.

 Once he was one of the people he was preparing to kill.

"Han Wubing will be removed from the human list, and Han Wubing will be left as a white tiger on the demon list."

Of course, Zhao Changhe is doing something wrong, but the target is not a lazy woman with **** and a big butt, but the indifferent and aloof Piaomiao.

 “The demon **** was eliminated in the sixth wave.”

 I’m not used to it, I feel like there are a lot more things that don’t belong to me...but it’s not as uncomfortable as I imagined. On the contrary, it’s...less boring.

“When you look in the mirror, all you see is the dark silence.”

  This is the difference with Ye Wuming... In fact, it is also the difference with Zhao Changhe. Even if he is better than him in cultivation, Zhao Changhe actually leads the world in many aspects, so he is the executioner who goes beyond the rules of heaven. Those beings who are immortal in the definition of this world can kill gods and demons in his hands with ease.

 Zombie puppet: "?"

What a bastard!

Ye Jiuyou pinched his head with a headache, and finally stretched out his hand. An ice mirror replaced the soul-capturing mirror and stood in front of him.

There are quite a lot of things that I realized about him today, including darkness, life and death, and the grand chaos and desolation. When your horizons expand to that extent, some of the things you do really lose their meaning.

“The white tiger appears in the world, Ye Jiuyou, Sword Emperor Xue, and Zhao Changhe each have their own plans, and Han Wuyi joins the white tiger.”

There was some filling information at the end, but Ye Jiuyou didn't bother to pay attention to it. Instead, he was thinking that Piaomiao was still doing this at the moment. It seemed that she was not among the people who were the same as Zhao Changhe.

Standing in front of the soul mirror, Ye Jiuyou frowned and felt something was wrong. After thinking about it, he took off his cassock and put on the purple dress.

Ye Jiuyou flew up and kicked the broken mirror far away. He was so upset that he couldn't even look at the mirror.

The sky suddenly flashed with golden light, and the long-lost troubled times list was finally updated.

Ye Jiuyou returned to the top of the snow-capped mountains, crossed his legs and closed his eyes under the moonlight, and began to practice. It seems like I can be more sober and calm in the snow.

 Heck, wait, I have a whole mountain.

 “It’s just a broken mirror, but you still want to capture my soul!”

 Soon, a look of satisfaction froze on his face... It turned out to be just a corner, and no matter what he saw, it couldn't cause any harm to him. Now it's the whole mountain. If I see something again, will it lead to inner demons, will it really take away the soul?

 …

 “Fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, Snow Owl has fallen.”

Well, obviously he can make a mirror by himself... But this is the meaning of the four images perceived from his body. It belongs to Xuanwu, so it is not pleasing to the eye.

 Then he turned his head, his eyes shining: "You are my most important thing."

 In fact, the bright and dark abyss is colder... maybe there is something missing, no snow, no moon, it is too boring and not interesting.

 Suddenly, she felt a slight chill in her heart. This kind of irritability should not appear in someone like her who has been practicing in solitude for thousands of years.

Ye Jiuyou frowned and thought for a long time, then suddenly canceled everything, all the bracelets and necklaces disappeared, and the clothes returned to darkness, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, as he was used to it.

“In June, Zhao Changhe and Piaomiao broke into the secret realm of the Heavenly Demon together, captured Bo Xun alive, and roasted him in the pagoda for several days before releasing him. Bo Xun was weak and stabbed by Snow Owl, and Bo Xun fell. The Heavenly Demon’s intention was obtained by Snow Owl.”

Ye Jiuyou took out the mountain in a ton of steps, adjusted it to the size of a life-size mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

 Ye Jiuyou's judgment was half right.

As I thought about it, there were slight ripples in the mirror, and the scene changed, from my own appearance to walking side by side with Zhao Changhe in a busy street. He was buying marshmallows, with a sunny smile on his side.

“During the chaotic battle, Han Wubing broke off his arm and ran away, and Xue Xiao was killed by the Sword Emperor. His true spirit, which was both Annihilation and Bo Xun, was destroyed by the mist, and his body and soul were scattered.”

In the end, all the charming **** did their own thing and didn't care much. The one who really suffered was Piaomiao.

The four elephants over there are occupying their respective positions, and they are concentrating on deducing the new formation. Piaomiao seems to be away from the group, absorbing the true spirits of Annihilation and Boxun, but in fact, his body is trembling, and he is gritting his teeth and enduring.

That pretty face was as red as a peach and plum, and all the style of the ancient seniors was completely forgotten.

Looking furtively, a few people over there seemed to be aware of it, and they all looked towards her strangely. Piaomiao knew that this group of people were not fools. They were all representatives of the top practitioners in the world today. The slight trembling of their bodies was no different from the movement of jumping around in their perception.

Piaomiao couldn't stand the ambiguous looks from several women, so she couldn't bear it and ran away. Their whispers could be heard vaguely behind her: "It turns out that sister Piaomiao can't bear it anymore than us."

“It’s not surprising, after all, we just got together, and we are so passionate about adultery... I think back to the beginning, we also wanted to stick to him.”

“Hey, just say you, not us, I was very free and easy back then.”

　　"Come on, you are a fool, you are the first one to get on the horse, you don't even have to face it."

“Xia Chichi, are you itchy?”

 “Hehe, I’m more itchy in other places…”

 “Are you also an emperor?”

 “What’s wrong with the emperor? Even the ancient demon gods are itchy.”

Piaomiao wanted to die. She originally wanted to find a place to hide, but she stopped hiding and rushed into the Tianhe. She grabbed Cui Yuanyang who was riding a horse and said, "I've been killed by you!"

Cui Yuanyang's eyes were confused: "Ah? Sister, do you want to come with us?" "I..."

"Didn't you come here just to be together?" Cui Yuanyang softened: "Sister, come quickly, I can't hold it anymore..."

　What can I do if you can't stand it anymore? Just as Piaomiao was about to complain, Zhao Changhe grabbed her wrist: "I'm here now..."

Piaomiao, who had been tormented by the shared feelings and was weak all over, could no longer bear it, and was soon hugged to the chest and kissed until the sky was dark.

 …

The next day it was still dark, Cui Yuanyang was not even wearing any clothes, and the angry Piao Miao personally sent a message directly to the capital with the power of mountains and rivers, and it fell on Tang Wanzhuang with a "plop".

Tang Wanzhuang was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by the little girl falling from the sky. Her first reaction was that she was making trouble with Qin in her arms. She muttered angrily: "Don't make trouble with Qin. When is this... Hey, why aren't you wearing clothes..."

　　"Wow~" A pile of clothes appeared out of thin air, with bellybands dangling over their faces, including a jade plaque from the Demon Suppressing Division.

Tang Wanzhuang: “…”

Cui Yuanyang stood up carefully and said with a smile, "Sister, you are so soft and smell good."

Tang Wanzhuang pulled off her bellyband and looked at it in a daze: "Cui Yuanyang?...What did you bleed on my leg?"

Cui Yuanyang smiled apologetically and backed away: "No, it's nothing. It's something you've also passed through."

Tang Wanzhuang was furious: "Is this how he gives me a sense of participation?"

"It's not his fault." Cui Yuanyang shrank his head: "It was a new sister who did it..."

Tang Wanzhuang was stunned: "Who is so powerful, can teleport thousands of miles, and can send you to my bed so accurately? I'm afraid he can't be so accurate."

“If I said that it is our country, and the whole world is as familiar with it as her skin and flesh, would you believe it?”

　　Tang Wanzhuang: “???”

Cui Yuanyang smiled and picked up the jade token: "Brother Zhao asked me to go to the Demon Suppressing Division to gain experience, so I came to see my sister."

Tang Wanzhuang looked at her with a straight face for a long time: "You want me to arrange it?"

 Cui Yuanyang slapped her chest: "Of course, my sister will arrange it."

"Then you go and see your father first. He is in the capital. Wait until midnight and report to the Demon Suppression Division."

Early in the morning, as soon as the Zhenmosi Yamen opened, people noticed that there was a handyman sweeping the floor at the door. He had a round face and was very cute. Someone went to ask an acquaintance in the Demon Suppression Department, and the news they got was that she was the eldest lady of the Cui family in Qinghe, the princess whom King Zhao Mingming was marrying, and was being shoed because she offended Prime Minister Tang.

I don’t know whether this is the king of Zhao doting on his concubine and destroying his wife or the traitorous prime minister covering up the sky with one hand. The people in the capital chatted happily about it after tea and dinner, but no one took it seriously. After all, that is considered a traitor. The meaning of the word "treacherous" is still open to debate.

What people can see is that the rivers and mountains of Dahan are now booming, and the autumn harvest is about to begin. This year's rice and wheat fields are yellow and clear, and it is a bumper harvest year. The troubled times of the past few years are visibly becoming a thing of the past.

“I also asked why the weather was so good this year and the grain was abundant. It turns out that some people even soaked the mountains, rivers and crops.” Tang Wanzhuang was complaining to Baoqin: “I don’t think there is any need to hold an autumn harvest ceremony. He can just sacrifice it in bed..."

Bao Qin said: "Why not do it? It must be done. If she can receive what our sacrifice said, then tell her to prevent King Zhao from provoking a few vixens. This is a major matter for the country..."

Piaomiao was saying to Zhao Changhe: "Some people are offering sacrifices to mountains and rivers privately. I hope that King Zhao will avoid provoking a few vixens. I think it makes sense. For example, the girls who marry each other can be moved to the back."

Zhao Changhe coughed dryly: "Have you really received all their prayers? Even in private?"

“Yes, as long as it is a person who can really represent the mountains and rivers and set up sacrifices, the prime minister who is currently acting in political affairs is certainly one of them.”

Xia Chichi muttered: "It's so embarrassing to think about what I said in the previous sacrifice..."

Everyone is having breakfast by the river. Breakfast is a pastry brought back by Zhao Changhe from Chang'an. Piaomiao thought this group of people was really interesting. Even though there was no need to eat these mortal foods after the imperial realm, they all still ate happily. So she also ate together, and it felt good that the whole family was enjoying themselves and eating together.

The biggest change after last night's embarrassment is that Piaomiao no longer has a reason to stay away from the crowd. Everyone in the group looks at her and smiles as kindly as an aunt. Piaomiao thinks it's really weird. You should be jealous or look down on the vixen, but why are you so kind...

 Is it because all face has been lost, so there is no more alienation?

Piaomiao quietly clung to Xia Chichi's ears: "As you said in the ceremony, I will help you."

Xia Chichi was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Because this is indeed an important matter for the country, and it is what I should do, and..." Piaomiao rubbed her head with some tragedy: "I can only help you, not even myself. I can only rely on luck."

Xia Chichi looked at Piaomiao with some sympathy. It seemed that this sister's abilities were broad and complex, but also obviously limited. Most of them were meant to help others, not herself. From another perspective, when she can break through this barrier, she will no longer be at the third level of imperial realm. I wonder if there is such an opportunity.

In short, Zhao Changhe's acquisition of her is the embodiment of the true energy and energy.

The little sisters here are whispering, and over there Zhao Changhe is saying: "The list of troubled times finally disappeared. I thought someone was so out of touch that he didn't even do such a thing."

Piaomiao glanced at him sideways: "What's your tone? Why do you seem so happy?"

"No, no...because I haven't seen the Troubled Times List for a long time, I feel a little nostalgic." Zhao Changhe didn't dare to show that he was a little blind in front of Piaomiao, and quickly changed the subject: "How are you mastering the White Tiger's Intent?"

"It's very good, there are no obstacles." Yue Hongling said: "The white tiger is worthy of being the symbol of the Hundred Soldiers. It is indeed broader than the simple way of swordsmanship. I have benefited a lot. Originally, the Four Symbol Formation's sharp killing was a shortcoming, but now it is made up for. That’s it. Next time I see the Sword Emperor, at least I won’t be laughed at.”

"The Sword Emperor arranged the suspicious tomb, and the inheritance is true. It means that he was also seriously injured and on the verge of death. Who did it?" Zhao Changhe said: "I saw that he had a bad attitude towards Ye Jiuyou before. I thought it was Ye Jiuyou. He did it, but it didn’t look like it afterward.”

Piao Miao said: "Normal people will not have a good attitude towards Ye Jiuyou. Killing her is a matter of course, except for a certain lustful person who has a different brain than others..."

 Zhao Changhe lowered his head and ate the cake. Of course my brain is different from others. Would a normal person have **** with you? Of course, I dare not say this, I can only take the cake.

Sanniang asked excitedly: "Could it be Ye Wuming who killed the Sword Emperor?"

"Probably not." Piaomiao said: "If his enemy is Ye Wuming, he may cooperate with Ye Jiuyou like me, or at least mention this aspect."

Yue Hongling said: "Based on the remaining sword intent of the Sword Emperor that I received, it is very determined that there is no end in sight. He has arranged the mausoleum and inheritance in advance, and he should be planning to fight decisively."

“His enemy is someone else.” Zhao Changhe pondered: “According to the doomsday scene I saw, he and Ye Wuming’s opponent should be the same, but there is no connection between the two, and each does his own thing.”

Piao Miao sneered: "Ye Wuming will not trust anyone."

 Zhao Changhe glanced at her and said to himself, that's not necessarily the case. At least Ye Wuming's trust in you is much higher than that of the Sword Emperor and the others. She probably has no contact with the Sword Emperor, but she cooperated with you to protect the human world.

Having said that, because Piaomiao only represents the human world, what we know will be somewhat biased. This is similar to Ye Jiuyou, who only sees the secluded boundary, and his knowledge is lacking. On the contrary, it is not as good as beings like Sword Emperor and Lie who travel across the three realms and see more widely. On the contrary, they know some things better. They have similar goals without communicating with Ye Wuming.

 Theoretically speaking, Ye Wuming, Ye Jiuyou and Piaomiao are the complete world and people. What they represent is far more advanced than Sword Emperor and Lie.

Zhao Changhe took out a piece of energy jelly: "The rubbings on the stone slab beside the pool are not disturbed by Youyin now. Can you interpret it more?"

Piaomiao looked at it intently for a while, nodded, and shook her head: "There may be more, but I still can't fully understand it... I'm wondering if your relationship with Ye Jiuyou is different now. Should I try asking her directly?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Ye Jiuyou obviously couldn't fully understand it, otherwise there would be no need to sit by the pond and figure it out day and night."

"Then..." Piaomiao thought for a while and smiled: "I will give you the text I interpreted, and you will bring it to her. Maybe both parties will get something together. This may also become a bargaining chip for you..."

Zhao Changhe blinked and asked, knowingly: "What bargaining chip?"

Piao Miao said leisurely: "She cheated me, and I always have to repay something. I also want to know whether a being like Ye Jiuyou can really be manipulated by others, and whether such an achievement that shocked the past and the present is really possible. realized by others.”

“So my mission today is to meet Ye Jiuyou?”

"Don't do this, don't we tell you that you have no plans to see her today?" Huangfu Qing complained: "I see that when we visited Chang'an yesterday, you already made an appointment to see us again today. You are striking this while the iron is hot. None of us have." I’ve seen it before. Maybe the main purpose of coming back last night was for these writings.”

The main purpose of Zhao Changhe's return is of course to accompany his wives. The meaning of this rubbing is not a bargaining chip, it is really for decryption.

As a result, the women had already helped to think up the next strategy for picking up girls... Zhao Changhe looked at Piao Miao writing the translation with a strange expression, and thought to himself that if Ye Jiuyou knew that his women not only didn't have any jealousy towards men going out to pick up girls, , but each one is more enthusiastic than the other and making suggestions. What will it be like?
