Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 281: anniversary

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

Yuan Sanniang was the banker in the casino of her own inn, and her face was glowing as she rolled the dice.

The subordinates were all used to it. Of course, she would be in charge of the casino late at night. Only that day, she inexplicably chatted with that yellow-faced man in the empty tavern for a long time, and no one knew what she was doing.

The Hu shaman walked into the casino and looked at her straight.

Sanniang lost interest in being the banker. She threw down the dice unhappily and smiled charmingly, "Come with me."

The shaman followed her to the VIP room nearby, and then he slowly said, "The Great Shaman cooperated with Ying Wu for the purpose of exchanging information about various secret realms, and that's why we tolerated you, a Central Plains person, staying in this important market. If you want to trade in intelligence, as long as it's not too excessive, we'll turn a blind eye. But you gave us false information and tried to sow discord between us and the Khan. Isn't that a bit too much?"

Sanniang said, "Don't talk nonsense. My intelligence trading has never been related to military intelligence or anything like that. I just make some pocket money and save some for my dowry. It has nothing to do with Master Wu."

The shaman kept a straight face and said nothing.

Is this the main point of the inquiry

How much dowry you save to give to a man is none of our business!

Sanniang asked, "Why do you say I am instigating? Because Wubalu said he didn't find anything in the lake?"

"Because the man and woman disappeared in the northern mountains, the secret realm has nothing to do with Huangsha Lake. So your claim that Wubalu found some secret key in the lake is naturally false."

"Is there a possibility that there is another secret place in the lake?"

The shaman was stunned for a moment.

"Now I can roughly determine that either this place and that place are actually two unrelated secret realms, but everyone's thinking has been misled and their attention has been focused on the lake. Or our previous thoughts were not wrong, but this lake is the exit, not the entrance."

The shaman frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Since the lake is right here, how to study it is another matter. Do you have a plan to crack the entrance to the mountain range over there?"

Sanniang said angrily, "You thousands of people have been surrounding the mountain for so long and still can't find a solution. What's the point of looking for a weak woman like me?"

"You are not a weak woman... If you are a weak woman, we can look at the name of Ying Wu and not touch you. Other tigers and wolves on the grassland don't know who Ying Wu is... The ashes of those people have been scattered."

"Just like Ubalu claims that there are six or seven levels of the entrance, but in fact no one knows how many there are?"

The shaman was also annoyed: "Are you arguing with Ubalu? We are talking about the mountains now, why do you keep bringing him up!"

Sanniang curled her lips: "Of course he did. He wanted to play with me, but he didn't even look in the mirror."

The shaman was speechless. Isn't it normal for the local authorities to want to play with you, such a charming woman in the desert

Why do we keep getting sidetracked by such trivial matters

Sanniang was speechless. You asked me to solve the mystery for you? I am not an ungrateful person.

I've been a victim for several years. There is no secret place in this lake. I have been fighting with Ubalu here for five years. Do you know how I have been spending these five years

Then he turned around and said that the secret place was in the mountains.

How can they find it as soon as they arrive? I am so pissed!

She rolled her eyes for a long time and smiled charmingly again: "Is there a possibility that you don't have to do anything, just wait by the Huangsha Lake and wait for them to come? How will you get in then? Are you afraid that you won't be able to interrogate them after catching them?"

The shaman was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself that if this lake was the exit, then this idea was not wrong.

"Are you sure this is the exit?"

"I didn't say that. It's just a suggestion. It's up to you to choose."

The shaman had a headache.

Wubalu obviously didn't want to look for it anymore. Sects and warriors liked to look for secret places, but the tribal leader who led the people to gallop across the grassland might not care so much. He was more concerned about catching the two Central Plains people who were causing trouble in the rear, and also about the movements of the Batu War Lion Tribe.

The surrounding tribes are undergoing changes. As the leader guarding this area, it is obviously not a good idea to leave the army in the mountains to search for a long time just to capture two people. Ubalu's previous statement has clearly shown his intention to retreat.

The temple is in the northern part of the desert... The temple in the southern part of the desert has very few people of its own, so perhaps it can only choose a possible exit and wait and see.

The shaman frowned and thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "I hope your guess is right."

Sanniang rolled her eyes several times and said with a smile, "May the earth bless you."

… …

There is no sun or moon in the mountains.

One day is one month.

Wrapped in jelly, an arm as white as jade slowly stretched out, and pushed away all the jelly covering the body, revealing the scene underneath.

The men sit cross-legged while the women sit cross-legged.

It was a very lewd posture, but surprisingly looked dignified. It was the core secret method of dual cultivation of Maitreya.

Yue Hongling glanced at Zhao Changhe who was in meditation, curled her lips, and then stood up lazily, stroking her hair.

The heroine, who has shed her youthfulness, is now like a blooming rose, exuding alluring charm.

The snow-white slender legs stepped on the ground, the red dress thrown aside was rolled up on the body, the long hair was tied into a ponytail, the charm was restrained, and the heroine returned.

After an unknown amount of time of dual cultivation and with the help of treasures, Yue Hongling broke through the first secret treasure and entered the door to heaven.

If the previous "Human List" was just a list of the tallest among the short ones, with a few people selected from the ninth level of the Xuanguan to make up the numbers, now they are the real masters.

In the whole world, there are only a hundred people who have entered the secret treasure.

The threshold that so many people hesitated for their entire lives is broken here.

Yue Hongling sighed softly, turned around and gently stroked Zhao Changhe's cheek as he was in meditation, tenderness unconsciously flashed in her eyes.

I never thought that the most important moment in my life would be passing through Zhaocuo... The young man at that time not only walked hand in hand with me today, but also brought me the martial arts opportunity I had been pursuing all my life. What I never expected was that I would be willing to be conquered by him and flatter him.

They even become addicted to it and indulge in revelry every night.

Yue Hongling sometimes had a vague feeling, was it God’s will

But looking at his calm face in meditation, tenderness welled up in my heart, and I felt that even if it was God's will, I should still be grateful for the kindness of Yue Lao.

Zhao Changhe opened his eyes and met her gentle gaze. They looked at each other for a moment and smiled.

Zhao Changhe asked, "Why are you wearing old clothes... Are you planning to leave?"

Yue Hongling asked: "How do you feel?"

Zhao Changhe looked inward for a moment and had to say that the effect of this dual cultivation that had lasted for who knows how long was truly terrifying.

Yue Hongling transformed her body, but it seemed that she was not moving towards the direction of "Innate Dao Body". She did not even accept the baptism of the gemstones in its entirety, but was mainly absorbing energy. It would be better to say that she was using jelly rather than gemstones. As a young master, she had her own direction and understanding of martial arts. She was no longer at the stage of being led by the nose by natural materials and treasures. She only needed the supply of energy to use it for her own benefit.

In other words, the body-transforming effect that the gem should have is still there, and only the energy is reduced.

This energy was absorbed and transformed by Yue Hongling, becoming her own, and then circulated with Zhao Changhe through dual cultivation. This did not allow Zhao Changhe to directly contact the physical baptism of the gemstone. With a handover, it did not conflict with his "Blood Shura Body", but took its essence to improve his inner self.

The Blood Shura Body is a change in the muscles and bones, while the transformation of the Taoist Body pays more attention to the Dantian meridians.

After a long period of harmony, Zhao Changhe's meridians, which had always been a drag, finally expanded to the level of a normal warrior. At most, they were a little thinner, which was no longer a big difference.

It can't be compared with a genius, but it's normal after all.

Once the meridians become normal, the chain reaction is terrifying.

His Six Combinations Divine Art cultivation speed was extremely fast, but it was limited by the weakness of his meridians, which caused him to be stuck. The process of expanding his meridians was equivalent to the process of the Six Combinations Divine Art constantly climbing up. From the sixth level to the seventh level, it was almost as natural as eating. When the meridians expanded to the normal level, he had already directly broken through the eighth level.

The internal strength that had always been a hindrance, at this moment, surpassed the external strength.

The Blood Evil Art seemed to be unwilling to accept the defeat. Damn, the Six Harmonies Divine Art, which had always been used as a supplement, actually took over

Then the blood evil turned into a rage and surged violently.

The energy contained in the "jelly" was almost pumped out like a pump, penetrating into the skin, bones and internal organs. Originally, the cave was almost full of jelly, but a lot of it had disappeared during this period of time, leaving only some for bedding...

The foundation of martial arts training is ultimately energy. From competing with others for food and meat in the beginning to using auxiliary pills later, it is all for this purpose. Once there is a huge supply of energy, it becomes easy to break through.

The eighth level of Blood Evil Art marks a breakthrough.

The murderous and violent aura that was about to burst out poured directly onto Yue Hongling during the dual cultivation... and then it was pressed back by the lotus pedestal, and nothing happened.

Both inside and outside are refined, a true entrance hall with eight levels of refinement.

They themselves were in the mountains and had no idea how much time had passed.

It has been more than 20 days since we entered the mountains... It is already October in the outside world.

October, besides heralding the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, also has a very special meaning.

That was the time when Zhao Changhe traveled through time, and it has been a whole year since then.
