Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 113: True and False Yue Hongling

Views:

Not only did they look alike, but her demeanor, tone, even the way she drank by herself, and her familiar attitude were all exactly like Yue Hongling.

It is impossible to achieve this effect simply by makeup and acting. He is so familiar with Yue Hongling that he can see through other people's pretending at a glance, but this one can't be seen to be fake no matter how hard he looks at it.

The only explanation is that the Maitreya sect's illusion effects are indeed quite tricky. I couldn't sense the effect of the illusion at all, but I still fell into it silently. It's really awesome!

"I originally thought that the Maitreya Sect was just looking for someone to pretend, but I never expected that it was Miss Yue who was here. Is this the surprise that Master Fayuan mentioned?" Zhao Changhe pretended to be surprised and sat next to her: "I never thought, I never thought... Miss Yue is actually the Maitreya Sect's goddess..."

Yue Hongling rolled her eyes. What are you talking about? How could you not know if I am a Maitreya believer

Oh, no, no... He thought that the Maitreya goddess dressed up as me, and he didn't want the Maitreya goddess to discover his true relationship with Yue Hongling, so he pretended not to be familiar with Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling was not here to play role-playing. She was planning to discuss serious matters with Zhao Changhe, and she also didn't want to see others pretending to be her and having fun with others under her identity. The thought of it made her feel sick.

Then he said directly: "I am Yue Hongling."

Zhao Changhe was not willing to believe it, and said with a smile: "Of course it is Miss Yue. When the girl saved me from Zhaocuo, I was attracted to her and could not forget her. I would never mistake her for someone else. I didn't expect that Master Fayuan... no, the Supreme Buddha really asked Miss Yue to come and teach me the Buddhist teachings. This is really great..."

Yue Hongling almost wanted to kick him. The real person was right in front of him, but this idiot insisted that it was all a fairy's makeup and an illusion. So, do I have to prove my identity

In the eyes of the world, the intersection of these two people is limited to Zhaocuo. What Zhao Changhe said to the fake is exactly why others firmly believe that he has a crush on Yue Hongling. There is no flaw. But only the real Yue Hongling knows that their intersection is far more than that. The wife of the village chief is the beginning of the close relationship between the two. The more he only mentions Zhaocuo, the more it proves that he is a fake.

So in fact, as long as the intersection with copycats is mentioned, the play will be ruined.

But just when Yue Hongling was about to speak, she suddenly stopped talking and her ears moved slightly.

Someone is eavesdropping.

She could only swallow her words back, racking her brains to start cooperating: "It is because you and I have such a deep connection that the Buddha asked me to lead you... Our Maitreya Sect and you are a match made in heaven. We have the backing you lack, the meridians you need, and... and me..."

I gave myself a thumbs up when I said this. It was really the goddess pretending to be Yue Hongling. It turns out that I have some acting talent!

But she regretted it the next moment.

Zhao Changhe came over impatiently, with a face full of stupidity: "I understand! Let's be frank, the Maitreya sect wants to recruit me. If you had told me that Miss Yue was here, I would have joined the sect with a wave of your hand! Of course, I have to get close to her... Ah, Miss Yue, don't blame me for being so direct, I'm really obsessed with you..."

As he spoke, he tried to put his arm around her waist.

Zhao Changhe was of course deliberately acting like a pig and creating a rough persona. The more the other party despised such a fool, the more likely he would reveal some deep secrets. For example, he could directly get the information about what activities the Maitreya Sect was planning to carry out in Yangzhou, or even let him participate directly.

As for the control technique, he was sure that the other party would not go to bed directly, so he had to control her in some way. After all, she was pretending to be Yue Hongling, and being too promiscuous would easily arouse suspicion.

As expected, the "Flower-Picking Goddess" pretended to be reserved and kicked him angrily: "Zhao Changhe! Is this the only thing on your mind!"

Zhao Changhe endured it and didn't dodge. He deliberately got kicked and fell backwards. He rolled over again and said with a smile, "We bandits are like this. We won't release the eagle until we see the rabbit. If you really want to preach Buddhism to me, I won't understand it. If you want to preach it to me in a long time, will the great cause of Maitreya Sect still be accomplished?"

After hearing this, Yue Hongling could completely guess what he was thinking. He was trying to trick the goddess into telling her something, but she still couldn't hold it in and her face turned red.

I'm not a goddess! How can I perform this play! Who is listening outside? Why don't you get out of here! If you don't get out of here, I will smash the stage. Don't perform anymore!

Suddenly, I heard a secret voice from outside: "Why did you beat him?"

Yue Hongling responded coldly: "That's Yue Hongling."

The man outside smacked his lips, thinking that this seemed to be right, and said, "We have to give him some sweet treats to slowly lure him in, but don't let him get too addicted to the show."

At this moment, Zhao Changhe came closer again and begged, "Sister Yue, I know you are not an ordinary celestial being, so can you at least let me hug you? If you hug me, I will listen to the Dharma seriously!" With the soft words "Sister Yue" on one side and the words "give him some sweet treat" on the other side, Yue Hongling really didn't know how to hide or not hide. After a moment of hesitation, she was already firmly held in his arms and he even leaned close to her neck to kiss her.

Yue Hongling's body was covered with goose bumps, and her skin was tense. She resisted the urge to slap him like a top. She took a deep breath, and the first thing she did was to send a message to the people outside: "We are about to start, do you still want to listen outside?"

The status of the Flower-Picking Goddess was not something that ordinary believers could get involved in. When the outsiders heard this, they smiled awkwardly: "I'm just afraid that something bad will happen, so I'm protecting you... Since this guy has been completely bewitched by Yue Hongling, there's no need to look at him any more. I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."

Over there, Zhao Changhe was holding the soft and fragrant body in his arms, and was very surprised. How come even the scent was exactly the same as Yue Hongling's, and she was even as tense as a baby? Was this really an experience that could be achieved through magic

But he was still talking professionally: "Sister Yue, I finally hugged you. You don't know how long I have been thinking about this day... As long as you ask me to help you do something in Yangzhou, I will do it immediately. It's worth it even if I die..."

"Really?" The "Flower-picking Goddess" in his arms sneered, "Why do you want to hug Sister Yue so much? When did it start?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Of course it started when I sat on your horse..."

"Oh? Then why didn't you take advantage of me being injured in your house?"

"That's because I respect... Huh?" Zhao Changhe froze for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened.

He carefully put away the look of rubbing against her neck in his arms, and slowly leaned back, seeing the other party's sneer: "Boss, you are very good at pretending, are you revealing everything now?"

"Ah, no, no, Sister Yue, listen to me!"

"Bang!" Yue Hongling stood up and threw Zhao Changhe to the ground with a back throw. "It's worth dying for, right? Then go and die now!"

Zhao Changhe held his head and lay on the ground, "Fuck, why are you real! I am innocent... I was just telling those fakes what they were going to do in Yangzhou... Oh, stop it, those are all lies, I never liked..."

The words suddenly stopped.

The angry stomping behind him also stopped.

The atmosphere became deathly silent, with only Yue Hongling's slightly rapid breathing gently spreading in the room.

Suddenly, there were light footsteps outside the house. Someone approached and said, "What's wrong? We heard a noise... Eh? The panting is fine... Could the sound just now be that guy using violence again? He's so impatient."

The room was too quiet, even Zhao Changhe's five senses could sense the movement outside. His mind raced, and he said loudly: "The Maitreya Buddhism is indeed profound. Could this be the Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus? Zhao is learning..."

The footsteps outside faded away again.

Zhao Changhe stood up and lowered his voice to a level that was barely audible: "Don't take those words from before to heart... If there is one thing that I have been thinking about since the beginning of Zhaocuo, it is that I hope to ride a horse and wield a sword with you one day and travel the world together. Today's incident was embarrassing, but I am honored that my wish in the past may be coming true."

Yue Hongling looked at him quietly and did not answer for a moment.

Both of them knew that Zhao Changhe had interrupted half of his words and was unwilling to finish them.
