book of troubled times

Chapter 823: Breaking the Illusion with the Void
At this point you can conclude that your previous ideas were wrong.

Living in the devil's fantasy world, Bo Xun knows everything he does no matter where he is. The previous drama was in vain... The reason why Yue Hongling was okay in the past was entirely because Bo Xun had not recovered at that time, and there was nothing he could do about Yue Hongling. That’s all.

But at this time, Zhao Changhe's situation was not as good as that of Yue Hongling.

Bo Xun is in peak condition, and he also has a Realm-Resistant Assassin who comes and goes without a trace. Not only is he injured, but he is also carrying a bottle of oil on his back. The bottle of oil may break free from the shackles and give you a hard blow at any time.

Many immortal beasts or remnant souls in ancient times were basically demonized, lurking in the night and attacking at any time. But he had no place to hide, no matter where he was, he couldn't hide from Bo Xun's knowledge.

"Crack!" Zhao Changhe slashed the neck of a demonized beast with a knife, black blood splattered on his arm.

The "hissing" sound of corrosion arose. Zhao Changhe quickly reorganized his muscles to isolate this special strong corrosion. He turned around without stopping, and the Piaomiao behind him blocked the new attack.

Then he hit the front with a knife, knocking a demonized King Kong so hard that his chest was dented. The Galaxy Sword swung up from below, shattering the space and tearing open its belly.

These are all ancient imperial realms. Each of them is like the original Lord Doro and Xuewu... The original BOSS may not be considered a pawn today. After all, it is an imperial realm. Each one has its own special advantages, and it is easy to deal with them. Not easy.

But we can only move forward bravely without any retreat. Once there is even the slightest hesitation and cowardice, inner demons will quickly grow and spread.

Bo Xun was convinced that Zhao Changhe's perception could not reach very far in this environment. In order to focus on dealing with him, Bo Xun, Zhao Changhe's soul had to shrink and stick to it, not daring to spread it apart at all. So how do you avoid snow owls completely?

Piaomiao on her back watched him silently as he advanced, forgetting how long it had been since he had struggled.

I don't know why, but Zhao Changhe can always avoid his interception and rush to the weakest point. After being led around for so long and still unable to stop Zhao Changhe head-on, it was really a shame. Whose territory is this?
"I suspect that you are being followed by Zhao Changhe." When Bo Xun said this, Xue Xiao felt as if he was in a dream.

Bo Xundu was made unconfident by these words. Indeed, Zhao Changhe shouldn't be able to track Snow Owl. This doesn't make sense...

This kind of crisis is different from what he has experienced before. Zhao Changhe has never fought this kind of battle. If we talk about experience, this is not about rushing into battle, but about refining the mind.

The enemy is at heart. Once you can't control it, you will completely sink.

It's just that the demonic temperament may not appreciate it... No matter how ungrateful it is, you still know that the other person is really protecting you.

I know. Every dodge he made was for the sake of the person on his back... As a result, he suffered countless unnecessary injuries.

"There are two things that I cannot fully control. One is the ancient white tiger's meaning, and the other is the Sword Emperor's." Xue Xiao didn't believe it at all: "Both of them have nothing to do with Zhao Changhe, how could he track me through these two? "

And this time... also for his wife, for Cui Yuanyang?
Cui Yuanyang's words before going to bed came to mind - he is also protecting you, and you know it deep down.

Piaomiao didn't know what she was thinking. In fact, the Snow Owl chasing behind her was the most annoying one.

Why did he “see” Ye Wuming? Because deep down in her heart, she secretly expected that the blind man would come out to help her when she was in crisis, and felt that she would not sit back and watch her become Bo Xun's slave, which would trigger such a real illusion of the devil.

"Stupid man...knowing that I want to kill him, doing such a useless thing! Do you really think I will let him go?"

The demon only changed his temperament, but he didn't lose his memory. Looking at the new wounds on his body one after another, I remembered the battle I saw him in the Han Chi Ice Abyss not long ago. "Experience" has always been just an excuse. He has always been fighting for others, for his friends, for his wife, regardless of life and death.

I didn't know if I would let him go, but I subconsciously didn't bother struggling to cause trouble for him.

"This is so that I don't get hurt... Besides, his life is mine, what qualifications do these things have to kill him?... His skills are really bad, even these things can hurt him!"

Bo Xun said coldly: "The sword intent in your body is mixed, and there are all kinds of weird sword intents. Are you sure you can tell them apart?"

"Didn't Zhao Changhe have the Tomb of the Sword Emperor in his experience? Not to mention the White Tiger. Today the White Tiger is his wife Xia Chichi! What confidence do you have that these two things have nothing to do with Zhao Changhe?"

"This is impossible." Xue Xiao was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "How could I not know if there is a special existence in my body that does not belong to me?"

"The ancient white tiger and today's white tiger are not the same thing. Xia Chichi has not obtained the true inheritance of the ancient white tiger at all. What I mean here comes from Han Wubing! As for the Sword Emperor, the outside of the Sword Emperor's Mausoleum that Zhao Changhe came into contact with during the Mysterious Passage period, that and Yu The meaning of the situation is thousands of miles away. Do you believe that he can understand the meaning of the Sword Emperor and track me in turn? "

We're hunting him in your territory...and then say I'm being followed by him?

However, if their conversation is heard by Zhao Changhe, he will know that Xue Xiao is not Bo Xun's subordinate, but a cooperative relationship between the two. It is hard to say whether there are hidden agendas in this cooperation.

Bo Xun finally said: "No matter how Zhao Changhe did it, it is certain that he can completely avoid you. In this case, we can also set a trap based on this."

"How to do it?"

"Of course, you and I are divided into two groups. If he avoids you, he must face me. And because you are not here, he will relax his vigilance even more, thinking that I have not taken action."

"...Are you sure you can deal with him? The previous illusions were of no use."

Bo Xun chuckled: "He relied on cheating several times, and he was not really able to detect it. If I try another method, he will definitely die this time."

"What method? Let me remind you, Zhao Changhe is not the fool he used to be. His determination is hard to find in the world. It is absolutely meaningless for you to transform into those wives when you know that there is no way they will appear here."

"But there is Cui Yuanyang, or Piaomiao, on his back." Bo Xun said lightly: "He has indescribable emotions for Piaomiao, and he also has expectations for the possessed Piaomiao. This kind of undue emotion and expectation... …It was his death knell.”

Zhao Changhe overcame obstacles all the way and gradually approached the desired space node. At the same time, he found that Xue Xiao's position was being pushed further and further away from him, and he sighed in his heart.

It seems that Bo Xun didn't come up with any new ideas, so he simply let himself go?
Even the things that were chasing and intercepting them were withdrawn. It seemed that they didn't want to lose too much.

The space was slightly rippled, and we had arrived at the secret place at the back of the Xiangyang Temple that we had seen before. The ancient temple looked very familiar. The ancient Vajra Buddha was once raised here. I wonder if it has fully recovered now.

Zhao Changhe quickly entered the ancient temple. There were many monks inside. They were all surprised to see Zhao Changhe: "I have seen King Zhao... Where did King Zhao come from?"

"I don't have time to say more. Please inform Master Yuancheng and invite the ancient Buddha to come and meet."

"Yes. King Zhao, please go to the guest courtyard and rest."

Zhao Changhe breathed a sigh of relief, entered the guest room, put the Piao Miao on his back on the chair, and sighed softly: "I will untie your acupuncture points first. As for the heart and soul chains, I dare not untie them. When the strong Buddhists come, let's work together Study it."

Piaomiao looked at him sideways, and really wanted to say, why are you such a bad guy... This space is an illusion, the ancient temple is an illusion, the monks are an illusion, everything is fake, and you have not reached the Xiangyang Ancient Temple you want to go to.

Because the thought of going to Xiangyang is also a kind of inner demon, and Bo Xun can easily take advantage of it. The biggest illusion is that when Zhao Changhe put down the person on his back, reality and illusion were displaced, and the real mist fell aside. The person he was talking to now was Bo Xun. The target of the acupuncture treatment was Bo Xun. The real Piao Miao was still unable to speak as his acupoint was sealed, and his spiritual thoughts were chained by his heart and soul, so he couldn't find out. He was helplessly watching the show.

This kind of battle is indeed difficult to fight. If you don't have the level of Po Huankan, you can really be beaten to death. Although Zhao Changhe obtained the Book of True Illusion, his study time was still short, and he was indeed not at the same level as Bo Xun, a demon in the human heart. I have escaped several rounds by cheating before, will I die this time?
But he saw Bo Xun "weakly" rubbing his wrists, relaxing his muscles and bones, and said in a cold voice: "You might as well kill me directly. What's the use of pretending to relieve the acupuncture points?"

Piaomiao knew that Bo Xun's performance was completely based on what Zhao Changhe had in mind. Bo Xun performed it based on Zhao Changhe's cognition, so there would be no flaws for Zhao Changhe. But having said that, just because Zhao Changhe's perception of Piaomiao is like this doesn't mean that she really is like this. Piaomiao also wanted to know how different Piao Miao was from Zhao Changhe's cognition when Bo Xun saw it.
Zhao Changhe is saying: "You know I will not kill you. No matter you are the original Piao Miao or the possessed Piao Miao..."

Bo Xun said: "Do you think that the obsession can be eliminated and that you will become the same Piaomiao as before? Let me tell you, this is impossible. Your temperament has changed. Even if you kill Ye Wuming, this change will not disappear."

Zhao Changhe said: "Why do you want me to kill you so much?"

Bo Xun said: "Because if you don't kill me, I will kill you. Are you a fool? It would be good for you to kill me. It can give you a good Cui Yuanyang. I shouldn't exist for you. I am possessed here. It’s time to let go of your worries.”

Piaomiao frowned. There is nothing wrong with this conversation in theory. It is indeed what I would say, but there is something wrong with my attitude. The possessed self will not speak so rationally and calmly. Bo Xun's performance is based on Zhao Changhe's cognition, so Zhao Changhe's understanding of the possessed Piaomiao is not deep enough, and he still has expectations for Piaomiao.

Something goes wrong with that expectation.

But Zhao Changhe said: "I won't kill you... Don't say that the heart and soul chain can't be locked for a long time. Even if it can be locked for a lifetime, I don't want to keep you locked."

Bo Xun didn't even need to perform, so he asked in astonishment: "Why are you doing this?"

Zhao Changhe caressed her face and whispered: "You are using Yangyang's body... Every intimate relationship between Yangyang and I is actually being intimate with you. I have no way to kill a woman who is intimate with me." Even if it was just an accident, I just said that I would train you when it is safe. Although I said it in anger... But my anger means that my mind is not pure. Even if you are possessed, I still want to be intimate with you. "

Piaomiao's heart beat violently, and she didn't know what she was feeling, but she knew that Zhao Changhe was going to die.

He really has undue expectations and even desires. Once Bo Xun takes advantage of this, he will be dead.

For example, Zhao Changhe would not necessarily say this kind of thing in normal times. The desire in his heart was amplified by Bo Xun, which made him speak a little uncontrollably. Once he is guided in this way, he will fall into the sea of ​​desire.

Sure enough, Bo Xun quickly followed these words and performed the vague response that Zhao Changhe was expecting: "You...you are shameless!"

The eyes were still angry and unyielding, but they were a bit dodgy. There is a professional term for this kind of behavior: "rejection but welcome".

Piao Miao smiled angrily... Is this the reaction Zhao Changhe expected from himself? What on earth is he thinking...

Sure enough, Zhao Changhe was soon provoked and became more and more angry. He stretched out his hand to lift Bo Xun's chin, tilted his head slightly, and said close to him: "I have done everything, what is there to say about being shameless..."

His eyes were no longer clear, which was a sign that the desire in his heart was becoming more and more aroused.

Demons abound.

If he continues like this, he will also become a demon... What Piao Miao is obsessed with is the demon of hatred and violence, while he is obsessed with the demon of lust.

Bo Xun twisted his body maliciously: "You, you dare... If you really kiss me, I, I won't let you go..."

Piaomiao was so angry that she wanted to vomit. Zhao Changhe's possessed Piaomiao would behave like this! You really deserve to die. Anyway, once he kisses her, he will definitely die. He will definitely lose himself and become a demon dominated by desire.

How can anyone in the world dare to kiss Bo Xun...

Zhao Changhe slowly approached, his lips were only a finger away from Bo Xun's transformed red lips. Hearing Bo Xun's words, he seemed to remember something: "Yes... I don't want to kill you, but you will kill me." ...I want to guard against you..."

As he said that, he took out a chain from somewhere and wrapped Bo Xun around the chair in a way that made people's blood boil: "In this way, you can only be trained by me..."

His eyes were extremely intoxicated, his movements were hurried, and he was in a hurry. It was a complete expression of lust and fear of death.

Piaomiao rolled her eyes, and Bo Xun smiled secretly in his heart.

This performance is not only about kissing, but also about doing it for real.

If he doesn't die, who will die!
However, the moment the chains became entangled, Bo Xun suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly tried to break free, but was already too late.

Zhao Changhe's drunken eyes instantly regained clarity, and Xinghe suddenly appeared in his hand, slashing Bo Xun's forehead with a vicious sword.

Bo Xun let out an earth-shattering scream, and the appearance of the transformed Cui Yuanyang instantly changed into a twisted phantom.

Phantom twisted and struggled, but could not break free of the chains.

Heart and Soul Chain!

Piaomiao was shocked to find that the chain that bound her heart and soul had been removed at some point! The soul chain was used to lock Bo Xun!
Piao Miao instinctively took action to hit Zhao Changhe. Zhao Changhe sighed in a low voice: "As for that? Don't let me down."

The palm of his hand pressed on Zhao Changhe's back, but after all, he didn't burst out and stayed there.

Zhao Changhe turned around and smiled: "My expectations are not wrong... Even if you are possessed by a demon, you can still be reasonable... You are not a person who can be unreasonable at all. Even if you have hatred, you can still be reasonable. It’s just extreme.”

Piaomiao suppressed the extremely weird feeling in her heart and asked: "You...what did you do wrong this time?"

"I didn't cheat this time." Zhao Changhe held his forehead: "You can't use the same move twice against the Saint. He used it three or four times on me... I am holding the Book of True Illusion anyway. After being continuously educated through experiments and still being unable to withstand real illusions, then this page of my heavenly book is really in vain..."

The tied up Bo Xun was extremely shocked: "Did you conduct the investigation yourself this time? When did you start?"

"It was discovered from the beginning. Didn't you notice that I didn't use my soul to probe into the sea of ​​consciousness from beginning to end this time? Because I was worried that I was entering the realm of Bo Xun and seeking to be devoured by myself, so I was always there Talking outside the body." Zhao Changhe turned to look at him and sneered: "I have been thinking about locking you with heart and soul chains if I have another chance to get close to you, and you still come here to seduce me. This is not asking for kidnapping. What is..."

"But why do you have to break through the illusion? Even if you have the Book of True Illusion and can break through the illusion, you don't practice enough and you shouldn't be able to do it! Did I expose a flaw?"

"You have real illusions, and I also have reality." Zhao Changhe said: "I don't think you can know all my inner thoughts. If you knew, why didn't you find out in advance when I acted several times? It means you can only see My superficial thoughts were more obvious...so I did a test."

"What test?"

"I deliberately forced myself to consider going to Xiangyang to find the ancient Buddha. Let you have a clear glimpse of this idea. Even Piaomiao may think that I really want to go... But in fact, if I go at this time, it will only cause trouble for others. I really I wanted to go afterward. I expressed my intention to go, but I concealed the time when I wanted to go. Sure enough, you didn't understand." Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "So when I saw the Xiangyang Ancient Temple. At that moment, you know clearly that this is fake. No matter how real your performance is, it is still a monkey show from beginning to end.”
