Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 764: A hero should not die young

Views:

Since the Sea Emperor can die, so can the Dao Master.

Gods can die.

But Jiuyou had never thought of dying in this way before. Because she couldn't understand why someone would waste all the energy they had cultivated throughout their life for such a thing. How was that different from committing suicide

Maybe his foundation was not destroyed, and he could slowly cultivate it back. Maybe it would be better than Han Wubing's state when his foundation was about to collapse, but how long would it take to cultivate it back? Yuxu was already very old, and once his power was dispersed, his situation was even worse than his old friend Ye Wuzong, and his life span was in jeopardy. Was it too late for him to cultivate again

This is suicide!

Is this what you have been practicing all your life for

But he was laughing, laughing very happily, and finally he even laughed out loud.

That is the joy of having all the haze in life dispelled, and the feeling of being relaxed and open-minded.

Zhao Changhe picked up Yue Hongling from the ground. Yue Hongling was relieved at this moment, and she no longer struggled in her man's arms, and fell asleep. Zhao Changhe checked her out briefly, and found that she was fine, so he carried her to Yuxu and whispered, "Senior..."

Yuxu smiled, his voice weak but in good spirits: "Thank you, King Zhao, for your help this time. Yuxu is very grateful."

"No, I'm saying you..."

"Oh, this is my own business. Of course I fought on my own. I feel really bad for causing you all to get hurt like this." Yuxu reached into his bosom with a trembling hand and took out a small jade bottle: "This medicine has a miraculous effect on Miss Yue's internal injuries..."

Zhao Changhe shook his head speechlessly and didn't take it: "You keep it for yourself, you talk as if you have no internal injuries. I'll give you some medicine."

As he spoke, a jade bottle jumped out of the ring and landed beside Yuxu, and he seemed to be about to say something.

He didn't know what to say, but Li Shentong next to him spoke: "Old man, can you leave?"

Yuxu tried to get up, and found that he could, so he smiled: "I still have some skills left, the situation is pretty good, better than expected."

Li Shentong smiled and said, "I will accompany you back to Kunlun to stay for a few days, and you can make some wine for me."

"Are you admitting that you are not as good at brewing as I am?"

"Give up, give up. Look how proud you are when I give you a chance to win. Winning means you have to brew more, you know?" The man's big hand lifted up the old Taoist's skinny arm, helped him to fly up into the sky, and left gracefully.

From beginning to end, Li Shentong didn't say a word about Yuxu's injuries, as if how long he could live was not important, and whether you could go back and make wine for me was more important.

He didn't say a word to Zhao Changhe, as if he felt a little embarrassed for "tricking" Zhao Changhe to come to Chang'an, although Zhao Changhe didn't care... Looking at their backs, Zhao Changhe knew that there would be no problem with "borrowing people" for the Northern Expedition, and there was no need for any further communication. Li Shentong would naturally appear when he was supposed to.

This world... is not bad.

Zhao Changhe watched the two figures disappear, turned around and saw a hustle and bustle outside. The disciples of Louguantai who had been sent to Chang'an by him for inexplicable reasons had rushed back.

Zhao Changhe and Huangfu Qing smiled at each other, ignored the Taoists, and quickly disappeared with Yue Hongling in their arms.

As the sky brightened, many golden bald spinning tops appeared on the stalls and vendors. The children were having fun playing with them. The Dai family has a strong sales force in the local area...

Yuxu's departure caused the Taoist sect in Chang'an to collapse instantly, but the Buddhist sect seemed to be even more devastated and unable to seize the opportunity to occupy the vacancy. Both the Buddhist and Taoist sects collapsed, and there was no strong man in Guanlong except the Jiuyou faction.

If the blind man had beaten Jiuyou to death directly, I'm afraid Guanlong could have been decided in one battle... But the blind man was the one who caused the worst situation in the battle.

She seemed to have restrained Jiuyou, but it had no effect at all. Jiuyou easily broke through the blockade and retreated from the cage with a chuckle: "My dear sister, if I were your heart monkey, then anyone in the world could conquer me, but you can't do it, so don't waste your efforts."

The blind man didn't expect to block her for long, just to prevent her from participating in rescuing Dao Zun. Seeing this, he was too lazy to argue and said calmly: "So you want to go back and be your daughter of the Li family? In the current situation, there are no more demons and gods, and the Li family no longer has the help of Buddhism and Taoism. Without you, we will either become the running dogs of the Hu people, or be destroyed by the Han people in one battle. Are you sure you still want to wade into such muddy waters of the secular world?"

Jiuyou said: "What if I continue? Will you still target me for his journey to unify the world like you did this time?"

"Who will unify the world is not within my scope of action. There is only one exception: you take the initiative to provoke..." The blind man said indifferently: "Zhao Changhe's Northern Expedition is imperative. If you want to stab me in the back, then regard it as a provocation, and I will take action."

Jiuyou was stunned by what he said, and then he chuckled: "I stabbed him to provoke him, why do you think it is a provocation to you? Ha... OK OK..."

There are blue veins on the blind man's forehead, but God knows where those blue veins come from on a soul.

Theoretically, it was none of her business whether Jiuyou was stabbing someone in the back in the matter of the world hegemony, but Zhao Changhe had specifically asked her to do this two days ago, and she had agreed to it. The reason for agreeing to it was actually just because she didn't want Jiuyou to complete anything. But was she going to argue every word of the cause and effect? What kind of words were they talking about

She didn't bother to say anything more, and turned away. "Gods can die, even you and me. Don't think I can't do anything to you... When the time comes, someone else will kill you, so don't blame me for not reminding you."

Jiuyou said from behind: "Hehe, I know this mentality of finding a man and entrusting him with things that you can't do. Many families have too much pressure on the man because of this unrealistic reliance. You have to be careful, it's not good." You are an emotional consultant, right? The blind man almost stumbled, and was too lazy to complain, so he disappeared.

Not to mention the blind man, even Jiuyou didn't quite understand. In fact, the conflict between the two sides involved the foundation of this world and the two sides of the way of heaven. It was as lofty as it could be, but somehow they had to bring up the topic of men and women. Maybe it was particularly interesting to attack the sister who thought she was so high and mighty from this angle...

Jiuyou was too lazy to think about it and returned to the Li family residence.

Simply from the perspective of the chaos in the world, she would definitely protect the Li family and put a nail in the door for the unification of China.

As for the matter of gods and demons... Jiuyou looked back to the west, Po Xun was seriously injured, Dao Zun died, it seemed like Zhao Changhe or the blind man had won a great victory, but in a sense, wasn't it her, Jiuyou's, victory

Now Zhao Changhe's eyes are on the north. Isn't the vast Western Region within his grasp

… …

Zhao Changhe did not return to the embassy, but went into the secret place of the Four Symbols Sect Ghost Golden Sheep.

This is where you need to heal your wounds, and you can’t do it on someone else’s territory.

After putting the blood-soaked Yue Hongling on the bed, Zhao Changhe and Huangfu Qing looked at each other, feeling a little helpless but also a little admiring.

Yue Hongling is the one who always says the least but does the most ruthless work. Although she broke through the defense one step earlier than Zhao Changhe, Zhao Changhe is full of tricks. Yue Hongling's combat power may be the lowest among all the people, but the fatal Dingding sword comes from her hand.

It wasn't her business at all, she didn't even know Yuxu, but she treated it as if it was her own business... Maybe that was what she should do when facing a possessed person.

In comparison, Huangfu Qing was a bit weak in this battle, so apart from some minor concussions, she was the least injured among all the people... Of course, it was normal for her, you couldn't ask a venerable from the Four Symbols Sect to help Taoism with all her might. If it weren't for her beloved husband, Huangfu Qing wouldn't even have participated.

Of course, the backlash from fighting so desperately was no joke. It was the fatal backlash of the second level of the Control Realm. If it weren't for the formation that shared some of the damage, the injury would not have been cured with just a moment of unconsciousness like it is now... Perhaps it was precisely because of this desperate effort that her growth was so legendary.

"How are you going to treat her?" Huangfu Qing said sourly, "We have to practice dual cultivation this time, right? But she's unconscious, how can you force her?"

Zhao Changhe said speechlessly: "You are also a venerable of the Four Elephants Sect? How about going to the Maitreya Sect next time?"

Huangfu Qing said: "Why do we always think this way? Don't you know it yourself?"

"For the Four Symbols Sect's venerable, the first thing that comes to mind is not the Rejuvenation Technique?" Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand, and a soft green light appeared in the palm of his hand. He gently pressed it on Yue Hongling's forehead: "Just help me protect the law."

Huangfu Qing was somewhat amazed to feel the seemingly endless life force in this ball of green light, as if his understanding of life and death was also stimulated. He was moved in his heart: "The rejuvenation of the Azure Dragon can actually be of reference to me."

Zhao Changhe said unhappily, "The Four Elephants are like this, you are in me and I am in you."

"Then Chi Chi has been studying with me for so long, how come he knows a little bit about everyone else's attributes but not my fire?"

The two were silent for a moment, and Zhao Changhe said sadly: "If you weren't so harsh to her, maybe this situation wouldn't be the case."

While joking, the green light enveloped, and Yue Hongling's body injuries were completely healed, and the slightly frowned brows also relaxed, and the meridians in his body that were shaken into a mess were smoothed out in the blink of an eye. Although he didn't wake up, he seemed to be fine. The effect of the rejuvenation technique after breaking through the realm of control was so great that even the medicine had lost its value.

Huangfu Qing was impressed: "If you use this method on Yuxu now, can he live a few more years?"

"Have you changed your mind about Yuxu now?"

"Heroes always make people feel good about them, no matter who they are. Such people should not die young, otherwise it would be unfair to heaven."

"Yuxu wasn't seriously injured. If there was any injury, it's better to say that he was hit by Li Shentong... Now all he needs is to rebuild his skills. I can't help him with that. But if I have the chance to meet Wubing, maybe Wubing can give Yuxu some advice. Wubing has been missing for a long time. I don't know where he is. Will he be in Kunlun..."

Zhao Changhe lowered his voice as he spoke, and said no more, just treating Yue Hongling seriously.

Huangfu Qing did not disturb him. He sat cross-legged on the side to recuperate and help him protect the law.

Zhao Changhe immersed himself in the heavenly book, while calling up the follow-up practice of the rejuvenation technique, he whispered with concern: "Xia Xia, how is your battle situation?"

"Don't bother me. I'm thinking about how to word the book about this chaotic world."

"If you're writing a book, could you do me a favor? Don't worry, it's not against the rules."
