Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 137: The false angel and the new target

Views:

The civil servants of the Demon Suppression Department have been having a hard time these days.

While Zhao Changhe was marching down the street to challenge someone with great enthusiasm, they were rummaging through boxes and interrogating the evil cultists; while Zhao Changhe was returning to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and practicing dual cultivation with the female knight, they were still fighting wits and courage everywhere and some of them were even injured.

It was not easy to investigate and capture Maitreya followers in such a large city. It would take at least a month to complete the task. Not to mention the faraway places, just the White Lotus Temple that was razed to the ground that night. It would take at least two or three days to search every corner.

Today, the personnel from the Demon Suppression Division who stayed in the White Lotus Temple to search the warehouse found a girl hidden in the corner of a pile of clothes. When they pulled her out, they found that she had been tied up there and had been hungry for several days and was dying.

When asked, she said she was the Flower-Picking Goddess of the White Lotus Temple... She was knocked out for no apparent reason a few days ago and didn't know anything. She woke up like this and even asked people what year it was.

There were already people from the Demon Suppression Department working as undercover agents in the Maitreya Sect. Gong Chaoqun had known before that a Maitreya goddess was going to seduce Zhao Changhe, and he had stopped Zhao Changhe on the road to remind the goddess of the illusion problem. Later, it became clear that the goddess sent by the Maitreya Sect to seduce Zhao Changhe was called the Flower-Pickling Goddess... Then where did this starving Flower-Pickling Goddess come from

Gong Chaoqun realized that something was wrong and quickly asked Tang Buqi to find Zhao Changhe.

Zhao Changhe hurried to the Demon Suppression Division and took a look. He found that the Flower-Picking Goddess looked exhausted, and her face vaguely resembled the previous goddess, but overall there was a big difference. It could be said that she was very unfamiliar.

He squatted in front of me and asked, "Do you know me?"

The goddess of picking flowers thought for a long time in confusion: "Is it... the bloodthirsty Shura Zhao Changhe?"

Zhao Changhe twitched his lips: "Yes. Are you guessing based on his appearance?"

"I saw you enter the White Lotus Temple."

"… Then what?"

"I only know that you went to see the Buddha Fayuan, but I don't know what you talked about." The Flower-picking Goddess recalled with some difficulty: "Earlier, the Buddha Fayuan told me that if Zhao Changhe came, it might be my mission... But before I received this order that day, I suddenly knew nothing."

Zhao Changhe's expression became more and more strange.

It seems that someone knocked this person out and took her identity... Let’s not talk about her purpose. If she is a fake angel, how did she hide it from the Maitreya believers

Oh, right... Zhao Changhe tapped his head - that person was wearing makeup in the direction of Yue Hongling, and he looked very much like Yue Hongling, so the other Maitreya believers didn't think much about it...

This girl is so interesting. As a fake, she actually took advantage of the opportunity to play Yue Hongling to stay in Maitreya. When the White Lotus Temple was attacked that night, she was still there resisting! This is absolutely amazing.

Thinking about it more carefully, Zhao Changhe can even imagine a more interesting process:

For unknown reasons, the fake angel knocked out the Flower-Picking Goddess. It was highly likely that she did not come there to replace the goddess, but had other purposes. This could explain why she continued to stay in the White Lotus Temple afterwards. She had things to do.

However, just when she fainted, someone outside the door called out to the Flower-picking Goddess to go out on a mission to pretend to be Yue Hongling...

This time the fake goddess is Sparta, we can't wake up the real one and ask her to work, right

So, taking advantage of the fact that she was in a clothing warehouse with a dressing room next to her, she simply changed into a red female warrior outfit, put on some heroic makeup, and swaggered out, pretending to be the Flower-Picking Fairy to go on a mission.

Ordinary Maitreya believers would never think about it carefully. They sent her to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and touched up her makeup to make her look more like Yue Hongling.

The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became. What was even more interesting was that this guy was sitting in the room waiting for him, Zhao Changhe. Maybe she was still rolling her eyes, thinking about how to complete this crappy task in a hurry, but the real Yue Hongling jumped in, knocked her out, and stuffed her under the bed.

Zhao Changhe almost laughed out loud when he thought of this.

No wonder she was so cooperative afterwards, pretending to have completed the task and something happened between her and Zhao Changhe, and it was perfect. A real flower-picking goddess shouldn't behave like that. I thought she was a real goddess and hadn't been brainwashed too thoroughly...

Although I don't know her original purpose, nor do I know what changes in her thoughts followed, why she came to really give me Qi to practice dual cultivation, and what her purpose is... But the cause and effect process should be like this, almost correct.

It's impossible that she really came here to knock out the real goddess and took on the identity just to get close to him. There's no logic and no need. If she really wants to get close to him, a clean identity is much more useful than the identity of a toilet goddess.

"It's okay." Zhao Changhe pondered for a long time, and finally turned to Gong Chaoqun: "This is just an ordinary Maitreya celestial being, just treat her as you should."

Gong Chaoqun understood what he meant: "The one before..."

"Can the Demon Suppression Department help me find out what the origin of this person is? He is smart and decisive, acts evilly, and is as open-minded as Maitreya..."

Gong Chaoqun's expression became more and more strange: "Why don't you go to the Four Symbols Sect and look for them? They are familiar with it, right?" Zhao Changhe was very annoyed: "The Four Symbols Saints are not like this. They won't flirt with people they don't like. You have a big misunderstanding!"

Tang Buqi said sarcastically: "We don't understand the Four Symbols Saint Maiden as well as you do."

Zhao Changhe clenched his fists.

Tang Buqi took a step back.

Zhao Changhe was too lazy to pay attention to him, and continued: "Another clue is that she really knows Maitreya's skills. I now suspect that her immature fighting skills at that time were caused by imitating Maitreya's skills too unfamiliarly. In fact, she should have another fundamental method. Maybe her cultivation is not too low, but there is a big gap compared to Yue Hongling. Anyway, this range is not too large. You can screen it and tell me what results you have."

Gong Chaoqun was also screening this information in his mind. He shook his head for a while, then nodded: "Okay, I'll screen it carefully."

Tang Buqi's eyes turned back and forth between the two of them, his expression extremely confused.

Gong Chaoqun added: "There is another matter that Young Master Zhao will surely be very interested in."

"Oh? What's that?"

"You didn't read the correspondence between Fa Yuan and Maitreya when you gave it to me, right?"

"No, there are so many letters, how can I have the leisure to read them slowly... What the rebels are doing is your business."

"Yes, most of it is our business, but there is one item that you will need more." Gong Chaoqun said with a smile: "In the letter that Maitreya sent to Fayuan, he mentioned that there was a suspected treasure for raising evil spirits in the Jiangdong area, and asked Fayuan to pay attention. The more likely place is Jinling, where Maitreya is now. Fayuan wrote half of the letter back, saying that there is definitely no treasure in Yangzhou, and he estimated that it is more likely to be in Gusu."

Zhao Changhe listened quietly, and his breathing became noticeably heavier.

Tang Buqi asked beside him: "What is the treasure that can raise evil spirits?"

Gong Chaoqun smiled and said, "For example, the Maitreya sect believes that killing can lead to Buddhahood. Many of their techniques are full of evil spirits and hostility. The more evil a person is, or the more people he kills, the more powerful these techniques will be. That's why the Maitreya sect was once interested in recruiting Mr. Zhao. The bloodthirsty Shura is more in line with their killing method. In fact, the practice of the Blood God Sect also encourages killing. The heavier the evil spirit, the stronger it is. When practicing the Blood Evil Technique to the later stage, it is not enough to rely on qi and blood alone. You have to kill people to feed the evil spirit."

Zhao Changhe did not interrupt, he understood the logic here very well.

A long time ago, when he wanted to make a breakthrough, he specially borrowed Wang Dashan's head.

Why is it that every time he fights, especially after killing someone and seeing blood, it is conducive to his blood killing skills to break through? Why is his fighting power the most powerful after every breakthrough

The basic principle of Blood Evil Power is based on this.

Tang Buqi still asked: "So this kind of evil spirit can also be nurtured with treasures?"

"It must be treasures, places, or special methods. It's impossible to just rely on killing people." Gong Chaoqun smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao gave us these letters. I think this one is useful to you, so I'm giving it to you as a reward."

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath and said, "Thank you very much. It is indeed useful...very useful."

What did you just think about

The physical fitness bonus has been almost used up, and what needs to be considered next are inhuman things.

This evil spirit is the most typical inhuman element of his Blood Evil Skill. If he wants to break through the sixth level or even peek into the secret treasures in the future, he must think of something like this.

But you can't just think about killing people, can you

I didn't expect to get the news as soon as I turned around.

Still wondering where to go next... What Wushan, what Beijing, just put them aside for now.

Want the follow-up secrets of Blood Evil Skill, but afraid of not being able to defeat Master Xue? Of course, the best way is to improve as much as possible.

No need to think about the next stop, Gusu.
