book of troubled times

Chapter 744 Capturing Jiuyou

Yue Hongling didn't realize that what she was doing was actually a transformation from a heroine of the Jianghu to Princess Zhao. She only felt that being able to bury Wei Changming's backup would be beneficial to many things. As for how to use it specifically, I'm afraid we still need to discuss it with Zhao Changhe.

She was not in a hurry to do more, and leisurely returned to the guesthouse at Luoxia Villa to rest, waiting to see if the master would provide "information about the foreigners" tomorrow, and then confirm the results. It confirms Master’s heart and Wei Changming’s statement.

As for the meeting with Zhao Changhe at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there was no specific time scheduled. There was no need to rush there before the results came out. Zhao Changhe was unlikely to find out too much in this little time.

According to Zhao Changhe's theory of "looking forward to luck", he encountered Wei Changming acting as a matchmaker when he came back, which is already a "protagonist's luck", and he soon had a relatively clear judgment on the situation in Chang'an. , How can ordinary people open up the situation so quickly? I don't know what level Zhao Changhe's even more outrageous luck will reach. He couldn't have caused trouble on his first day here, right?

Indeed, when she was making some progress, Zhao Changhe was still helplessly teasing fools... and gambling with Mr. Dai.

At a level that is now close to that of the legendary "Divine Mind" player, his "gambling skills" were too easy to amuse. Dai Qingge soon felt that the two sides were evenly matched and that he could just win this Qin with all his efforts. At nine o'clock, the feeling was so good that after a few rounds, I almost wanted to sworn sworn friends with Zhao Changhe on the spot.

Zhao Changhe had no energy to swore sworn vows with him, and reminded him: "Master Ge, you either have to go back to recite Buddha's name, or your second uncle will find out that you are missing, and you will scold your father and scold your mother again. Or you can go to the Louguantai for a walk. If you go to see Daozang, your father will probably think there is no harm in betting on both sides. If you continue to play like this, it will be really useless..."

The thief looked so much like himself when he went to the Internet cafe on the eve of the college entrance examination. Looking at this guy's appearance, Zhao Changhe wished he could go back in time and punch himself before the college entrance examination, finally knowing the pain of his parents.

Dai Qingge stood up reluctantly: "Okay, okay. I won't go back to chanting Buddha's name when I go back. I will just go to Louguantai to see the scenery."

The main reason why Zhao Changhe came to Chang'an was to meet Yuxu and try to destroy his alliance with the Li family. As for other problems, he didn't think that he and Hong Ling could solve them by just coming.

I didn’t know how to meet him at first. If I went to meet him directly, would Tao Zun know about it? Or maybe Yuxu's current attitude is unknown, and meeting him directly may not be a good thing, and needs to be observed first. Zhengchou didn't have an entry point, so he suddenly and arrogantly entered the Louguantai where Yuxu was, as Dai Gongzi's follower and friend.

At this time, Louguantai was crowded with people, much more than those at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. After all, Buddhism lost in the previous "Buddhism and Taoism Debate".

What's more, after Xia Longyuan's death, Yuxu was ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking. If we talk about China alone, he was definitely the number one person in China. His reputation was suddenly higher than before by countless levels. The number of people who came to pay homage to him was counted every day. But come on, even Yuxu himself didn't expect this - he was just one lower in the past, and he didn't feel that he had such an awesome reputation. It's just that the person above him is gone, and his reputation suddenly explodes. Watch, who would have thought of it?

This is why everyone remembers the champion, but few people remember who the runner-up is.

This is because he is not truly number one on the Heavenly Ranking after all. If he were, his reputation would be outrageous. Now there are two Hu people on top. For the Chinese warriors, they are still feeling aggrieved. Yuxu, who is closest to the first place, has high hopes. Everyone hopes that he can represent China and suppress the Hu people. No one thought so much about this small change in people's mentality in advance.

This not only caused Yuxu to go out to Chang'an, and there were many people visiting him, but it also caused Yuxu to be put on the fire, and he became a landmark in the confrontation with the barbarians.

Under this situation, can he openly cooperate with the Li family who is colluding with the Hu people? Based on his true intentions, obviously he can't, but unfortunately now he may not be doing things based solely on his true intentions.

When entering Louguantai, Yuxu was sitting high on the square inside, giving lectures and preaching.

Looking at Yuxu, who was wearing a solemn Taoist robe, he almost looked like the same person as the hermit in the three rooms of Yunshui House.

Dai Qingge stood outside the venue and listened for a while. He, who had been so energetic during the gambling game, now started to yawn again: "It's boring. I might as well fight crickets. Oh, by the way, the little treasure of the Wei family invited me over a few days ago. , I forgot..."

"You, the little treasure of the Wei family, is he from Yangzhou?"

"...Jingzhao Webster."

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but said: "I'm talking about Ge Shao, you are also among the hidden dragons after all, and your ranking is not low now. Why are you either gambling or fighting crickets every day and not practicing?"

Dai Qingge said: "Isn't this just looking at which Kung Fu to practice? I have no intention of practicing until I'm sure."

Zhao Changhe was startled, and then heard Dai Qingge continue: "Our family's inheritance, being able to practice to break the secret treasure may be unparalleled. Anyway, in so many generations of my family, only my great-great-grandfather has reached the first level of secret treasure. In other words, the inheritance It is not of a high level, and it will be like that if you practice it until you die. Now, Buddhism and Taoism are competing. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is a fight for faith, but in the eyes of each of our families, we naturally hope to obtain a higher-level inheritance. Otherwise, my father Why are you forcing me to listen to sutras? You are really not afraid of me becoming a monk! Then why should he cry?"

Zhao Changhe secretly said that... If you put it this way, if the big man wants to win over people, he can also extend upward from the direction of education and give many ordinary families or sects a ladder to the secret treasure or even the imperial realm. This is The real killer weapon is when all the heroes in the world fall into the trap.

If this bill had been mentioned in the early days, it would have only been used by the Four Symbols Sect as a missionary platform, but it is different now... That's why Wan Zhuang seriously pointed out that the hidden dangers between the Han Dynasty and the Four Symbols Sect needed to be eliminated. It’s up to you to take the lead. With such a foundation, it would be easier for the big man to carry out these operations than it is in Guanzhong now. Look at the degree to which they fight with each other, tsk...

Just as I was thinking this, a Buddha's name suddenly came from outside: "Amitabha..."

There was a commotion in the square, and the people listening to the lecture quickly moved out of the way and stretched their heads to look at the mountain gate.

A solemn monk wearing an abbot's cassock led a group of monks into the tower and walked straight towards Yuxu. He declared: "Brother Taoist, you are polite...Brother Taoist is profound in Taoism. I have been arguing a few days ago. My nephew is no match for Taoist brother, so he suffered a huge defeat. Today, I came out of the mountain and came here to learn from him. I hope that Taoist brother will give me some advice."

Dai Qingge was in high spirits: "Okay, okay, I'm bored, let's watch the blood flow like a river, let's fight!"

Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "So it's right to bring you here, how can you see this wonderful thing if you stay in the casino all the time?"

"Yes, yes, you are my brother!"

Zhao Changhe smiled and cast his eyes towards the field, feeling surprised and uncertain in his heart. The new Buddha that Buddhism found, who was suspected of being Bo Xun, had been secretly teaching the Dharma before, and he didn't lay much foundation. Now he is eager to join the Taoist school and start a new round of debates between Buddhism and Taoism? Logically speaking, arguing requires a group of dignitaries to watch from the sidelines. It is meaningful to refute the opponent in public. When there are not many dignitaries present, the victory or defeat has to be passed on by word of mouth, which is not direct enough.

Yuxu opened his eyes on the stage, looked at the person coming for a moment, and said calmly: "This master is very unfamiliar. I don't know his name? If Pindao remembers correctly, there were many people with round names who argued with Pindao that day. Divine monk, the master doesn’t look too old, so he calls them nephews?”

The visitor laughed and said: "Lao Na Kongshi is indeed one level higher than Yuanzi. Seniority has nothing to do with age."

Yuxu said lightly: "There are still some holy monks of the empty generation left in the world, but the poor Taoist are ignorant... What do the holy monks want to argue when they come here?"

Kong Shibao looked solemn and raised one palm in a salute: "I want to discuss martial arts."

Yuxu's expression moved slightly, and the square was instantly in an uproar!

This is not a debate! This is a challenge!

And it is the most common public challenge in the arena. Cui Yuanyong has fought against Yue Hongling, Chili Batu has fought against Jiangnan Qianlong, and Zhao Changhe has fought against Wan Dongliu. It's just that when it reaches a certain level, everyone's victory or defeat involves so much, there are almost no such challenges, not to mention Yuxu Ru is third on the list today and first in China!

This empty release is unknown, is it a life-threatening situation?

Dai Qingge was ecstatic: "Fight! Fight!"

Not to mention Dai Qingge, even Zhao Changhe was excited. The game ranked third in the rankings is not worth watching at any time! This Kongshi is 100% Bo Xun. Only Bo Xun dares to face the Yuxu in Yu Realm directly. This battle is of great significance just to watch.

In theory, Yuxu's status can completely refuse these inexplicable challenges. All cats and dogs can challenge this level. How many things can others do? But precisely in the context of the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism, and in the scene that attracted everyone's attention, Yuxu really couldn't refuse!

It is conceivable that once he loses, his reputation will completely collapse in an instant. The Taoist sect can completely withdraw from Chang'an, and he, Yuxu, can hide from Kunlun for the rest of his life. He cannot afford to lose that person. And if the opponent loses, as long as the loss is not too ugly, they can still become famous and secure Chang'an.

This is an unfair match, but Yuxu cannot refuse.

Yuxu narrowed his eyes and looked at Kong Shi for a long time, and then said slowly: "Then... I will give you a hand, please."

Zhao Changhe secretly shouted to the old man, "Don't capsize the boat. Giving up one hand seems to be a very beautiful solution. It's a good deal, but the premise is that you can't lose!" Once you lose, outsiders won't care whether you give in or not after word gets out. If you lose, you lose. Who told you to give in? Of course, if they win, then Buddhism will be disgraced this time. In fact, in theory, they should not suddenly launch such a challenge with no retreat. I don’t know what Bo Xun is crazy about.

If the other party was someone who respected the dignity of a warrior, he would not accept this condition. However, Bo Xun was obviously not a man who wanted to save face. He actually said with a smile: "Then I will take advantage. Taoist priest, please pay attention."

Following the words, he bowed slightly and saluted.

A brilliant golden light left the body with the salute and rushed towards the high platform. This polite attack alone caused an uproar all around!

The Gang Qi is released outside the body, yet it is so light and easy! What level is this?

This was the level of Longque's Thousand-Army Breakthrough before he was upgraded, and at that time, Longque could even lose his strength even if he attempted a Thousand-Army Breakthrough! With just this one hand, Master Kongshi is at the top of the world rankings.

Yuxu's expression remained calm, and he also gave a salute with one palm. The golden light entered his body for a foot, as if he had entered an invisible quagmire, unable to move forward with difficulty. Then it rotated to form a Tai Chi.

Yuxu waved his hand back without even standing up, and the golden light that turned into Tai Chi was thrown back. As it flew back, it became larger all the way. When it reached Kong Shi's forehead, it was already like the top of Mount Tai. There was a faint golden light around Kong Shi's body, and it was like a blow from Fan Tianyin hitting his head, but it disappeared without any damage.

The standard of this golden bell... Dai Qingge couldn't close his mouth after seeing it. If he had been on the court facing the overwhelming pressure, he would have turned into a pulp, but in front of this golden bell, it was as if he had farted, and he couldn't even lift the corners of his clothes.

Zhao Changhe chuckled and said, "How about it? Which Kung Fu does Mr. Ge like?"

Dai Qingge was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this competition also meant showing the skills to the public. He was a little confused for a moment, Yu Xu looked handsome, but Kong Shi could save his life. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Qin, where are you?"

Zhao Changhe grinned: "Being handsome is a lifetime thing, who wants to be a sandbag?"

Dai Qingge felt that it was reasonable and nodded like a peck of rice. God knows, this "Brother Qin" who is said to be handsome for a lifetime, has coveted other people's golden bells several times in order to increase the body's defense power...

During the brief conversation between the two, there were many rounds of offensive and defensive transitions on the court, but the form was "confronting waves" in various ways.

Of course, Yuxu is not stupid. He claims to "give you a hand." If it's a close fight, you'll be at a disadvantage. If it's a long-range fight, of course there's no difference between one hand and two hands. But Kong Shi always wanted to get close to the high platform, but he was always pushed far away and couldn't get close.

Kong Shi is not in a hurry. If he can keep fighting against each other, that will be enough... In the eyes of others, he is on par with Yuxu, which is enough to make him famous.

Yuxu obviously also knew this truth. Gradually, Zhao Changhe discovered that the various qi energies that had just been dispersed by Kong Shi had not actually dissipated, and were still lingering around him. With Yuxu's subsequent attacks, those qi energies were Jin was slowly mobilized again, forming a new Tai Chi around Kong Shi's body, like a huge millstone, slowly rotating.

Others can't know what it would be like to be in the empty space inside, but Zhao Changhe clearly feels that if a weaker person were inside, he would have turned into a pulp.

This kind of softness is a bit interesting, completely opposite to the toughness that Zhao Changhe is used to, but it is very useful.

In the eyes of others, Kong Shi was being pulled around in the whirlpool, spinning faster and faster, but in fact he was trying to eliminate this soft whirlpool. Although he was spinning, it did no harm to him, and he was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

Before he could wait for an opportunity, Yuxu launched another palm.

This palm seemed to have no power at all... but it was actually a tug in the direction of Kong Shi's rotation. The inertia alone made Kong Shi leave the place and turn into the crowd.

Once you fall into the crowd, all the humiliation is lost, and the victory or defeat is decided. From the beginning to the end, Yuxu was able to win without any fuss, and he was ranked number one in China.

It happened that the direction Kong Shi rotated was in the direction of Zhao Changhe and Dai Qingge. Zhao Changhe actually caught the flash of smile and murderous intent in Kong Shi's rotation.

Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking something was wrong.

If he only empty-releases the Dharma currently manifested, he will indeed be unable to resist this turn and will have no choice but to fall in. But what if Kongshi is Bo Xun? Are they still hiding magic powers? Moreover, his magic power is extremely good at disguise. When he turned into the crowd, his magic power spread out and killed people, but on the surface it looked like it was Yuxu's mistake that caused his energy to overflow, causing the onlookers to be injured or even killed. How could this Yuxu's face look like this? Isn’t it also lost?

He doesn't need to defeat Yuxu head-on, he just needs to humiliate Yuxu!

As soon as his mind flashed here, Kong Shi had already turned into the crowd, and the crowd was about to disperse to the side. The Tai Chi energy that was originally rotating softly suddenly became like knives, blowing towards the surroundings like a wind blade.

Yuxu's expression changed drastically on the stage. Who could stop him in time at such a distance?

But he saw the seemingly "following" man standing next to Dai Qingge, the young master of the Dai family, quietly stretching out a finger and gently poking it in the direction where the wind blade had just risen.

When Qi Jin turns into a wind blade, it is no longer Yuxu's Qi or Kong Shi's method, it is the overflowing wind.

The wind can be as sharp as a blade, or it can be refreshing and pleasant, depending on whether there is a god to control it.

The lives of the surrounding people are more important than whether the hidden treasure is leaked.

The people watching around had no idea what was happening. They just felt the breeze blowing on their faces. It was quite cold in this cold winter, but nothing happened.

But something happened to Kong Shi... He obviously saw that someone was causing trouble, but he couldn't beat the troublemaker in public. His mind changed, so he pretended that he couldn't control his body and stumbled towards Zhao Changhe.

Being able to kill and injure this guy would kill two birds with one stone. It would not only let him know that he was not meddling in anyone's business, but also allow Yuxu to continue to be blamed for "accidentally injuring" people.

"Master, there are many people here, it's better to turn back." A big hand put on his shoulder, and followed the rotation force and gave another move.

This wave is not the power of controlling the wind, but the powerful power of the Blood Shura Body that Zhao Changhe is famous for, which is extremely violent. Kong Shi could not have imagined that the warrior who looked like a dashing warrior just now would suddenly turn into a rampaging monster. He was suddenly turned back, spinning back to the original place like a spinning top.

While circling, he quickly glanced at Zhao Changhe's make-up face, and he smiled and said to a young man next to him: "This golden bald top is quite fun. Young Master Ge can make a batch and sell it, and it will probably be very popular."

There was laughter all around.

Kong Shi stopped his body in an emergency, and was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

If you don't reveal your magic power, losing doesn't matter. What you want is "to be able to fight against Yuxu for a long time" and "to force Yuxu to make mistakes and hurt others", that's enough. As a result, the injury was not done. The face that had been saved by "fighting for a long time" was lost as soon as the top was said. Tomorrow, there will only be a golden bald top left in the rumors about Chang'an.

This battle could be described as a huge defeat, inexplicably lost at the hands of a popular face who appeared out of nowhere.

Kong Shi took a deep breath and said calmly: "Zhenren Yuxu has indeed practiced profoundly and is worthy of being the leader of China. He has learned from it. The other one..."

He pointed at Zhao Changhe and asked: "Which powerhouse in the Troubled Times List is this?"

Yuxu said at the right time: "This little brother just saw the direction of the wind and used inertia to manipulate the power. He may not be a strong person in the troubled times, but he has great potential."

Zhao Changhe looked at him and understood each other tacitly.

Yuxu asked Dai Qingge very kindly: "This little brother looks familiar. Could it be that he is the young master of the Dai family in Jingzhao? Is this Mr. Dai's brother?"

Dai Qingge was proud of himself and smiled with his chest raised: "This is my guest Qin Jiu, and he is also my brother!"

Yuxu was startled, then smiled meaningfully: "Qin Jiu... a good name... can capture Jiuyou."

Zhao Changhe opened his mouth and was stunned.

Who captured Jiuyou? I’m not. I didn’t. Don’t talk nonsense.

Yuxu stood up and left the high platform for the first time, and saluted Kong Shi and other monks together: "Masters, if you have nothing to do, can you have a fast meal in this temple?"

"No need." Kong Shi glanced at Zhao Changhe and returned the favor in a dignified manner: "I haven't been able to practice at home and made you laugh, so I will go back to the temple to practice."

After saying that, he led everyone to leave.

In fact, as long as there are not a bunch of golden bald tops appearing on the market tomorrow, they will not be at a loss this time. The strength of the golden bell is still very eye-catching.

Yuxu watched them leave and turned to Dai Qingge very kindly: "Master Dai, you might as well take Mr. Qin Jiu to visit and have a cup of tea."

If Yue Hongling knew what happened here, she would be stunned.

What is Qi Pulse? This is too exaggerated. I am only slightly involved in the situation. Everyone here has already participated in important battles and went straight to the theme of this trip-meeting Yuxu.
