book of troubled times

Chapter 728 Nine Serenities
  This time, Ye Wujiang was so dizzy that he couldn't refuse the treatment from the witch doctor, so Sisi secretly arranged for the witch doctor to treat him quietly.

When the family went to visit, the old man had already woken up and was losing his temper in the room: "I have been clean all my life, but I didn't expect that I would be unclean when I grow old..."

Sisi: "..."

Zhao Changhe probed his head: "Being able to talk about virgins so confidently is one of the things that I admire the most about you seniors."

"?" Ye Wujiang jumped inside: "I'm talking about a bunch of messy poisonous insect blood in the body. What are you talking about?"

Zhao Changhe didn't answer, and the family of three entered the house and asked together: "Master, are you well?"

Ye Wuxing was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Changhe, and then at Yue Hongling, with a very strange look on his face.

You two called me "master" anyway. Although your expressions are a little awkward, you are still quite serious.

Especially Yue Hongling...are we familiar? This is definitely Zhao Changhe shouting after his wife, and the other wife has no choice but to shout to her husband, so rounding off the Four Elephant Sect, everyone has to call me master, right?

Ye Wuji almost stopped floating, he was so happy that he said: "Changhe, please accept a few more of them, the higher the status, the better."

Sisi's eyebrows stood up: "Where are you from?"

Ye Wujie coughed dryly: "Cough... I'm not feeling well..."

"..." Sisi was so angry that she couldn't be sure whether the master was really good or not. It was hard to lose her temper, so she had to put some medicine on her face: "What's going on now?"

Ye Wuzhen smiled: "I can't stand Yin Kui's backlash. I really don't have long to live this time."

Sisi was silent for a moment: "Don't be joking."

"I'm not kidding. I told you before that my life is coming soon and my body keeps declining. Unless I break the barrier, it's over." Ye Wujiang drank the medicine leisurely and said in a relaxed tone: "It's about talking about the gods. In this world of demons, we are all mortals after all, and mortals have their own upper limit, especially their life span. I also have a master who was also a strong person on the Earth Ranking back then. How do you guess he died?"

Sisi tried: "As you get older, your speed will decline, and your theft will be exposed and you will die?"

"Wrong, he committed suicide because he couldn't bear that he no longer had the same speed as before and looked like an old tortoise."

Sisi: "..."

Zhao Changhe suddenly thought of Hai Changkong, the current King of Penglai. He was fifty years old, and his body functions began to decline, so he lost his spirit and no longer wanted to explore China. The same goes for his master Hai Pinglan. The reason why he set off the final roar and died with the enemy was because he was already old and about to die.

Even Xia Longyuan has this feeling. If he survives in the end, of course he can survive, but that means he will have to survive under the protection of his daughter and son-in-law. Lao Xia can't stand it, and would rather die with the Four Swords to leave his last glory. .

In the world of martial arts, people are too affected by their bodies, and they are not immortals after all.

Sisi said: "But you already have a third-level secret, can't you try to get a glimpse of it?"

"Everyone has different strengths. My secret treasure is nothing more than wind and speed. It can only improve life expectancy to a limited extent. Those like Yuxu can live longer. As for Poyu, in such a state, I have no confidence." Ye Wuzong leisurely Said: "Actually, even if they are broken, they would have died long ago if they were not protected by treasures. Even if they are protected by treasures, they are barely at the level of 'haunting', and their bodies are still as dilapidated and ugly as mummies. They are not real at all." Eternal life, what’s the point of living this way? Okay, no need to be childish about this little thing, let’s talk about something serious.”

Then he looked at Zhao Changhe: "Are you here to ask about the divine axe?"

Zhao Changhe calmed down and replied: "I think senior...oh, master, maybe he already knows something when he comes here with the magic ax, and he came here intentionally."

Ye Wuzong shook his head and said: "How do I know what will be thousands of miles away... I brought the ax here purely because Kunlun is too chaotic. Bringing the magic ax to Kunlun is like delivering food. I should always find In one place, I either go directly to the capital to send you off, or I have to come to find my apprentice... Then how much of a friendship did I have with you at that time, that I want to go to the capital to send you the artifact?"

Zhao Changhe: "..."

I overestimated you and thought you were far-sighted... But it was not entirely luck that the Divine Ax got here. It should be said that it was inevitable by accident, because Ye Wujiang had no other choice. The primary problem is that "Kunlun is too chaotic."

"Kunlun has been a place of communication between heaven and earth since ancient times, and it is vast enough. If there is a heaven, then after the heaven is shattered and scattered, Kunlun will naturally have the most fragments." Ye Wujie leaned on the back of his chair, sipping medicine, and said slowly : "You have also seen it before. Any alchemy room becomes a small secret realm, any mountain has another small secret realm, and there is a big secret realm in Yuxu Peak... This area is only in Yuxu. Around Xufeng, how many Kunluns are there in these thousands of miles?"

Zhao Changhe said: "So the senior lives in Kunlun in seclusion to seek improvement in fortune."

"Who is not? There are so many evil people gathered in Kunlun, who are not here for good fortune? I am also one of the evil people. How long has the arrest warrant of the Demon Suppression Department been hanging?"

"..."

Ye Wuzong sighed: "Let's talk about the three Yuxuyunshui houses, poetry, wine, fishing and woodcutting. They seem to be free from the world, but if they are so indifferent, then why are they in Kunlun? I am lying in the market with a smile, cooking a pot of chaos to enjoy myself. , Obviously I am full of what I want, but I still feel that I am not that vulgar, and I don’t know whether I am lying to others or myself.”

This made him laugh both at himself and at Yuxu. Zhao Changhe thought for a while and said with a smile: "That's the attitude towards life. Life is life. Work is work. It doesn't mean that you lie to others or yourself."

"Oh, you can say nice things." Ye Wuzong knew that there was still a difference between this and life and work, but the hat was comfortable to wear, so he did not argue, and just said: "What Yuxu wants is nothing more. The road to heaven. As far as Buddhism and Taoism are concerned, they really have the idea of ​​​​"becoming an immortal". Once a person wants something, he will naturally not be willful in many things. He may not want the Book of Heaven, but he cannot give up the Taoism. This is what he contradiction."

Zhao Changhe asked: "Is the person behind him a certain Taoist from ancient times?"

"Most likely, I don't know the specific name, let's call him Dao Zun. But what is the relationship between the two parties and what Yuxu plans to do, I can't guess. But one thing I can tell you is that you must not enter Kunlun without permission now. "Ye Wuzong's expression became serious: "When Yuxu let you take away the Book of Heaven, the relationship between him and the gods and demons behind him was extremely tense. The matter was spread to the point that even I knew about it, which is evident. If you enter Kunlun again, only two An ending..."

Zhao Changhe said: "Either Yuxu compromises with him and kills me together; or I try to promote a break between Yuxu and him."

"The possibility of the former is as high as [-]%. I suggest you not consider the latter." Ye Wuzong said: "Why do I say Kunlun Rebellion? Because first of all, the revival of gods and demons in large numbers has become a general trend. They are not like they could only hide behind in the early years. The remote control is already standing in front of the stage. How many of the evil people in Kunlun can always listen to Yuxu? In my estimation, it is more likely that Yuxu will fall under the banner of Tao Zun. His resistance is too gentle. It may not be possible today. I can control the situation, otherwise I wouldn’t have to run away.”

Is it……

Zhao Changhe didn't say much, just said: "What's next?"

"Secondly, as I said just now, Kunlun is very big and has many secret realms." Ye Wuzong said: "In other words, there are other demons behind it, not necessarily Tao Zun. For example, Tingxuelou's lair is hidden in Tianshan, and the Thief Brotherhood The powerful Hexi Corridor has nothing behind them? Just like the Tingxuelou assassin who appeared this time, why is he with Yin Kui? Yin Kui is already very strong, but since he will personally go into danger like this, he will play the role of a pawn. , even if he is not taking orders from anyone, at least he is the second-ranked one in the cooperation of the devil, and there are more powerful people behind him."

Zhao Changhe said: "Based on the attributes of Tingxue Tower, they actually have a certain similarity with the senior. Has the other party approached the senior? This is the root of the senior's escape from Kunlun."

Ye Wuzong stroked his palm and smiled: "That's right. Did you know that Yin Kui's corpse has disappeared?"

Zhao Changhe was startled: "Did he run away alive? Or was it stolen?"

"You are really dead, but you should have become someone else's puppet." Ye Wuzong said lightly: "You said before that you don't know if Yin Kui is qualified to be called the Underworld Emperor. I tell you clearly, no. In In front of Jiuyou, Yin Kui is at best like a subordinate, a bull-headed horse-faced subordinate."

"Jiuyou?"

"Yes, she represents annihilation, death, and...chaos."

Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling looked at each other and nodded.

Chaos, this is it, there must be a god and demon who represents chaos, it turns out that he is here.

It doesn't matter that Yin Kui himself was turned into a corpse puppet. If he is dead, he is dead. Dead things and living things are two different things after all, so there is no regret. I have seen the name Jiuyou before. It appeared many times as the background of Emperor Ye in the Four Symbol Sect books that I was punished to copy. For example, "In the past, Emperor Ye broke Jiuyou at the North Pole", but there is no more specific story. , after all, the classics of the Four Symbols Sect are not very complete. If they are complete, there is no need to search for souls and blood to find the way to the realm.

"When her name appeared in Kunlun, some people thought she was Emperor Ye at first, but in fact Emperor Ye was very strict about rules. She was the opposite... If I am right as I expected, she is more likely to be Emperor Ye's mortal enemy." Ye Wuxing He paused for a moment, looked at Sisi and Yue Hongling again, and showed an ambiguous smile: "Attention, she is a woman."

"Huh?" The three members of the family all opened their mouths, including Zhao Changhe himself.

Of all the demons known so far, only Piaomiao has a female form. In the last era, Piaomiao was a spirit body instead of a human being. That is to say, all the normal demons known are male. Everyone subconsciously assumed that this one was a man. As a result, It's a bit uncomfortable to say a female sentence for a while.

Whether you're not used to it or not, it's not surprising. Who stipulates that all demon gods are male... Another thing that really reminds everyone is, is the Night Emperor a female?
  I had never thought about it before, but now I realized that it was probably a woman... Shuanghua is a member of the Night Emperor's bodyguards. Pay attention to "guards" rather than "maids". Under normal circumstances, there is no need for the guards to deliberately select women, and He refused to accept it and allowed himself to fall in love with the scumbag Qinglong. If Emperor Ye was a man, this kind of thing would probably not happen... There is only one possibility, that is Emperor Ye himself is a woman. Women must choose female guards and refuse to accept them, and only women can match up with their own. Subordinates have an inexplicable enthusiasm for such things.

According to the yin and yang of day and night, night is yin, so it is normal for a woman.

And Jiuyou might not just be Ye Di's rival, there is a high probability that her attributes and Piao Miao's would be rivals. Based on the fact that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Ye Di is very likely to be friends with Piaomiao...

Ye Wuxing said: "Jiuyou and Dao Zun are obviously not on the same side, and no one knows whether there is a third party. Kunlun is like a whirlpool now, and anyone who gets into it may be destroyed."

Zhao Changhe secretly said that there was at least a third party...but he was not sure whether it was a complete third party or whether it was related to another party. It seems really messy, a mess.

Ye Wuzong suddenly changed the topic: "You are so interested in Kunlun, do you think that in order to defeat Beihu, you must first reach the Western Region?"

Zhao Changhe came back to his senses, nodded and said: "At least this has a lot to do with the Li family. I don't believe they have no contact."

"I think it's a mess over there, and you should put it aside to solve it later. The Li family, a mere earthly family, can be involved in as many of these wars between gods and demons as it is to have contact, which is to say that it is at the level of an earthly agent... What’s more, they are leaning towards Changshengtian, not Kunlun.”

Zhao Changhe asked: "Does Changshengtian have nothing to do with this?"

"It has nothing to do with it. If it is related, it is inexplicably related to the Spirit Clan." Ye Wuzong said this, his expression became serious: "Tell me honestly, is there something wrong with this small world of the Spirit Clan Secret Realm? It is probably not the ancient heaven. One part is not connected to the other fragments.”

Zhao Changhe admired it in his heart. He came to this conclusion after comparing it with the "Illustrated Records of Mountains and Rivers" of ancient Xuanwu. This old man could actually see something fishy even if he was in it.

Sisi said in shock: "Why did Master say this?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Yin Kui's final act is that what is to be resurrected is not some of your ancient powerful men, but this world. The secret realm of the Spirit Clan is an independent world, and the world itself is your ancestor. He is very likely to be resurrected." It was killed here by the Heavenly Dao, forming an additional realm. This divine ax may not be the divine ax of Changshengtian, but yours... On the contrary, it was the Immortal God who obtained this axe, and then built it with it. The power of gods and demons. The elders in your clan all feel that this ax is related to the spirit clan. Maybe it is not necessarily greedy for treasure, but it is really some sense."

Sisi stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth with her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

In fact, she had guessed from Zhao Changhe's attitude last time... But if it had evolved into heaven and earth, it would not be a problem. Many ethnic groups in the world have similar legends, but if this one of hers can be resurrected, then He is about to die. Who knows the feeling when the earth sits up... If there is no preparation in advance, all life will be completely dead the moment the "ancestor" gets up.

Sure enough, my previous decision to try to move out was correct. From now on, the Eldar tribe must gradually migrate. The secret realm of the Eldar tribe can only be used as a strategic base, an existence similar to other people's "old houses", rather than the main living point. . Fortunately, the situation in Miao territory is now controllable, as if preparations are made for a relay.

At the same time, Zhao Changhe was also thinking that the spirit clan's voodoo had a sense of law, like the law of cause and effect, and went beyond everyone's conventional understanding of the human body. This itself is another type of law that is completely different from the Heavenly Dao system that everyone practices. It is at least half a level weaker than the Heavenly Dao.

As for the motto I saw in the Spirit Clan's classics when I was looking for it, "Suzakus and white tigers gather in the wilds of the southwest," this sentence is very likely to be directly related to the recovery of this place. No matter when that refers to, it can basically be regarded as inevitable.

Relocating the Spirit Tribe people is not a difficult task given today's prestige and control. In fact, the most troublesome thing is that if a monstrous man of the first-ever level is resurrected, no one can conquer China. Block, how to play?
  Jiuyou and Yin Kui actually want to revive themselves. Aren't they afraid of death?

Are you really crazy about chaos? Or are you confident that you can even control this existence?

Ye Wujiang was saying: "In this case, you must understand this axe. This must be an important key to the future."

Zhao Changhe said: "When I swung the ax before, I didn't feel the presence of the axe spirit. What advice can you give me, senior?"

"It has a spirit, but it is different from the sword spirit we conventionally recognize, because its spirit has dispersed but is not dead, either alive or dead." Ye Wujong said: "No one can make it recognize its master. , if you force it to recognize its owner, it will only be turned into a mess like me. So Bo'e was not its owner at all at the beginning. To put it bluntly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Bo'e was its pendant. "

Zhao Changhe nodded. In fact, when he swung the ax before, he was also the pendant of the divine axe.

Ye Wujiang said: "Since you are close to thunder and lightning and can follow it and help it exert its due abilities, then it will regard you as a kind of partner that you can use and learn some of the power of thunder and lightning. Strength, and so on..."

What Zhao Changhe heard sounded so familiar, and as expected, Longque's contempt could be heard in the ring: "How can this little bastard imitate me..."

The giant ax stood upright in the ring, and the shadow of the ax handle was thicker than the blade of Longque. Longque was silent.

Ye Wujiang didn't know that there was a small theater in Zhao Changhe's ring, and he was still introducing: "As for really getting its recognition, some steps may be needed. From what I know so far, the Holy Mountain of Changshengtian should have related altars. Or related.”

Sisi asked: "Where is the Holy Mountain of Immortality?"

Yue Hongling said: "When we were outside the Great Wall, I asked about a mountain named Langjuxu in Mobei where the Temple of Immortality is located."

Both women looked at Zhao Changhe.

Although I don’t know how the south and the north are connected, one in the southwest and the other in the northeast, but if I want to reveal the secret, I still have to focus on Zhao Changhe’s fundamental goal.

Drinking from Ma Hanhai, sealing the wolf to live in Xu. To the west lies the great river, which is the county of Qilian.

Ye Wujiang finally felt sleepy and whispered: "I have told you everything I know... while I still have some strength, I will teach you some things at last."

Sisi pursed her lips: "Master, you'd better rest first..."

"No need." Ye Wuzong said lazily: "If you can manage the Miao territory well so that I can sleep comfortably by the Erhai Lake, that would be the greatest filial piety."

Sisi was silent.

Ye Wujiang looked at Zhao Changhe: "My things are not suitable for you. When I taught you the Crane Control Kung Fu, it was the only one that you could use among my kung fu. But I accidentally discovered that you have learned some of my Qing Kung Fu. You How did his mother learn it? I believe it was not taught by Sisi, because some of the essential meanings you used were not even understood by Sisi at the time."

Zhao Changhe is wiping cold sweat. Can he tell you what he learned secretly from the Heavenly Book...

Ye Wujiang didn't care about it: "Later, since we all started to study Yujing, we naturally knew that Kung Fu is just the summary and application of the essence. It's not surprising that my things can really be used by you. Since the three of you have called me Master, then I will pass on this essence to you. How much you can realize depends on your personal suitability."

Yue Hongling originally heard that the Kung Fu was about to be taught and wanted to leave. When she heard this, she asked curiously: "Can I learn it too?"

"Of course." Ye Wuzong rolled his eyes: "It sounds like you can't learn from each other if I don't teach you. Where's Meng Gui?"

Zhao Changhe lowered his head and said nothing.

Yue Hongling held it in for a long time and finally asked: "What did you learn?"

"Wind Control." Ye Wuzong said leisurely: "Have you ever seen a demon named Feng Yin? I hope you can let him know next time that wind and wind are different... This is the old man's last wish."
