The blind woman was not just thinking about how to word it, she didn't even know whether she should broadcast it this time.
Those that do not involve changes to the list are generally not reported. Just as Dao Zun is not on the list, and Yuxu is not dead, this time it really does not involve changes to the list.
However, such a big event, including the previous battles of Bo'e, Poxun, and the battle of Daozun, the level of battles was enough to shock the world, but nothing was said. Was the broadcast of the Heavenly Book meaningless
The blind man tried to ignore everything and only present the Heavenly Book passively. He would coldly remove Ye Wuzong and Yuxu from the Heavenly List, believing that they were no longer worthy. Instead, Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling would both be on the list.
But the difference when humans take over AI is that there will be a longer-term analysis.
If Ye Wuzong was removed from the list, it wouldn't be a big problem. The Thief Saint had not been able to break the defense until now, and he had lost the confidence to do so. He just wanted to spend the last days of his life in Cangshan and Erhai Lake under the care of his apprentice. In this situation where the powerful people of the time began to break the defense, Ye Wuzong couldn't keep the tenth position anyway, so he didn't care much whether he was on the list or not.
But Yuxu's situation is different. Yuxu himself is a top figure in the middle and late stages of the realm of control. He has no headaches of being stuck at the threshold of the realm of control. Reverse transmission of power does not mean dispersing power. He has retained his foundation and his foundation is not lost. With the help of Li Shentong, he can still expect to restore his cultivation.
If we remove them from the list now, what if they recover in two months? Will we resettle them and demote Zhao Changhe or Yue Hongling? Or should we let them challenge the people on the Heavenly Ranking again to prove that they have recovered
Are you kidding me
If humans are asked to think, the answer is to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. If you do nothing, no one will question you, but if you do more, you will make more mistakes.
If it was a blind man's impulse to go against the norm, then it didn't matter whether it was right or wrong. The Heavenly Book had been questioned by the First River Blowing for a long time. How could it bite me? It was up to her to arrange it however she wanted. Who cares? But if it was her original intention to abide by the rules, then it was enough for her to be entangled.
So what's the benefit of following the rules? They are just shackles.
Just when he was getting annoyed, Zhao Changhe's request came. Blind Man hesitated for a moment and found that it was a good opportunity. He could just vacate the position of Thief Saint and continue to blow the river.
In the early morning, people were eating breakfast, and Chang'an residents were playing with bald spinning tops. They were all talking about the explosion that came from Louguantai last night. It was said that Louguantai was destroyed, and the disciples were sent to Chang'an by the gods and Buddhas for protection. They were now digging the ruins, and everyone's belongings were buried inside.
As for what exactly happened, people would look up at the sky from time to time while eating breakfast, wondering why the Heavenly Book was becoming more and more useless. Not only was there no report on the two battles between Bo E Po Xun yesterday, but the melons in the Louguan Terrace were not even allowed for everyone to eat. What use was it
Just as they were complaining, the long-awaited golden light finally flashed across the sky, proving that the Heavenly Book was still the melon book that the common people wanted:
"On the 28th year of his life, Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling went to Chang'an."
"On that day, the demon Po Xun transformed himself into the abbot of Dayan Temple, Kong Shi, and challenged Yu Xu. He wanted to hurt the people around him and put the blame on Yu Xu's failure. Chang He saw through it and stopped him."
"In the 29th year, Zhuque went on a diplomatic mission to Chang'an, and the winds and clouds gathered."
"Yue Hongling assassinated a Hu envoy at the Honglu Temple and fell into an ambush. Zhuque walked nearby and sensed the aura and attacked. The ambush was broken immediately and Bo'e's hiding in Chang'an was revealed. Zhao Changhe drew his bow and fought Bo'e with Hongling Zhuque. When the battle was stalemate, Kongshi attacked Zhuque and Bo'e took the opportunity to escape."
"Zhao Changhe fought angrily against Kong Shi and shattered his illusion. Zhuque Hongling attacked and Kong Shi's true identity was revealed, and he was actually the demon Po Xun. Yuxu chased Po Xun to the suburbs, but was stopped by Daozun. Zhao Changhe shot arrows ten miles away, and Po Xun was seriously injured and hid. His life or death is unknown."
"On New Year's Eve, at the beginning of the midnight hour, Dao Zun wanted to suppress Yuxu, and Li Shentong rushed to help from a thousand miles away. He knocked Dao Zun's Yin Shen out of Yuxu's body, and Yuxu condensed it with blood, revealing its true form. Zhao Changhe used the power of the wind to move the disciples of Louguantai to Chang'an. Zhao Changhe judged the day and night, Yue Hongling opened the gate of heaven with his sword, Yuxu turned from virtual to real, Suzaku controlled life and death with his palm, Li Shentong built an iron wall and a bronze wall, and the heroes rose up and pointed their swords at the devil."
"In this battle, Yuxu's power was temporarily lost, and Yue Hongling's life or death is unknown. However, the ancient Taoist master who was named after Taoism finally died in this mortal world."
"Changes in the Chaotic Times Ranking."
"At first, the thief Saint Ye Wuzong was injured by the Eternal Heaven Divine Axe and has been bedridden ever since. As long as his control realm is not broken, it will be difficult for him to keep his position."
"Tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, Shura King Zhao Changhe."
"In three days in Chang'an, the earth and the sky turned upside down."
"Your body and name will be destroyed, but the rivers and mountains will flow forever."
Zhao Changhe looked up for a long while before he remembered that today was New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve... Get rid of the evil spirits of the past.
If the blind man hadn't been being a literary geek and intentionally fiddling with the thread of fate, Zhao Changhe really wouldn't have believed that such a coincidence could happen.
But regardless of whether the blind man instigated it or not, the battle was real. It was truly a group of heroes in this world who surrounded and beat up the Taoist Master, and at the cost of no one dying, the Taoist Master's body and name completely disappeared in the long river of history.
The so-called devil's body and name are destroyed, but the world continues to turn.
Zhao Changhe was concerned about this meaning, but most people in the world could not feel the blind man's profound meaning. What they cared about was that Zhao Changhe finally made it to the Heavenly List.
You should have been on the Heavenly Ranking a long time ago. What kind of pervert is still staying on the Earthly Ranking, pretending to be an ordinary person? Do you really think you are on the same level as Wang Daozhong...
As expected, Ye Wuzong's removal from the list did not cause any doubts, especially when Zhao Changhe replaced him. It was even more normal. Yuxu's not being removed from the list meant that Yue Hongling could not be on the list either. One of the main reasons why Yue Hongling was not on the list was that she was seriously injured.
"Life and death are hard to know", these four words are what Zhao Changhe just asked her to do, to announce Hong Ling's serious injury to the world, but to hide the subsequent recovery in the Spring and Autumn style. This just saved the blind man from the difficulty of making a choice. Since Yue Hong Ling was seriously injured and not on the list, there is no need to worry about whether Yu Xu should be removed from the list. This man is really sensible now, huh.
In the eyes of most people, books about troubled times will not report anything wrong. If the patient is cured, or if there is a high probability of curing the patient, it is unlikely that a sentence about life or death will be mentioned. For example, Yuxu used the phrase "temporary loss of power" instead of "power lost". Once such a strong wording is used, it is very likely that the patient will not be cured.
Is Yue Hongling going to die
The hearts of the people were quite shocked, but Chang'an was even more shocked. It can be said that Chang'an was in an uproar.
Yue Hongling is a local, the pride of the Guanzhong people, and their own daughter! Knowing that she and Zhao Changhe were not in an intimate relationship, as long as she did not make it public, no one in Guanzhong dared to regard her as an enemy and expel her and monitor her, turning a blind eye and letting her visit her parents. If you really regard Yue Hongling as an enemy, I am afraid that half of the people in Guanzhong will regard you as an enemy.
But now she might actually die!
It was normal. How could they kill the ancient demon god of the second level of the imperial realm without any price? The price was to exchange for Yue Hongling, which was very reasonable.
Li Bozhong, a cousin of Li Boping, went to look for Wei Changming early in the morning. After failing to find him, he rode his horse to Huashan Mountain. As soon as he entered the door of Luoxia Villa, the first thing he said was: "Master Yue, we didn't think about the previous marriage. My daughter is ill, so let's not discuss this marriage for now."
Yue Fenghua's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Of course, the marriage proposal between his son and the Li family could not be Li Boping's own daughter. Giving her a distant relative from a branch was already very good, at least not a maid, which could be considered a great honor for Yue Fenghua. But even the branch looked down on him, Yue Fenghua, from the bottom of their hearts. Once Yue Hongling was no longer good, even the branch would cancel the engagement.
From the beginning to the end, the reason why others looked up to him was because of Yue Hongling. Being on good terms with him was equivalent to having a friendship level of a Yujing or at least a secret treasure-level strongman at that time. What is there now? Moreover, according to gossip, this guy even sold his apprentice... Even if Yue Hongling can cure it, it seems that he is not close to you.
Without Yue Hongling, and only with you, Yue Fenghua, why should I marry my daughter to your family? If I randomly marry into the Wei or Dai family, won’t the resources I get be more than yours
Yue Fenghua was rejected in front of him, and he couldn't even say a word of objection. He could only pretend to be magnanimous and bowed: "That's because our two families are not destined to be relatives. If we can't be relatives, we can still be friends."
"Okay, okay." Li Bozhong didn't even bother to say a few polite words and walked away.
Not long after Li Bozhong left, Wei Changming arrived.
Looking at Brother Wei, who had been friends with him for many years, Yue Fenghua heaved a sigh of relief: "Brother Wei, Li Bozhong... "
"Oh, actually it's none of Brother Yue's fault. He is short-sighted." Wei Changming looked around and suddenly waved: "Axiong, Axiong, come here."
Several senior guards of Luoxia Villa came forward to greet him: "Master."
"You have been in Luoxia Villa for many years, right? Do you want to go back?"
"Well, we've been missing home for a long time."
"Then go back. Oh, and take back some of the good swords, body-building herbs, and other things that I borrowed from Brother Yue. Also, please ask Brother Yue to settle the fees for them."
Yue Fenghua: “…”
Before he finished speaking, several disciples shrank to the side and said, "Master..."
Yue Fenghua said with a serious face: "What's the matter?"
Someone apologized with a smile: "Well, my family is sick... Well, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take time off to practice in the future. I have to take care of my family, so I came to ask for my resignation from Master."
Yue Fenghua asked others with a sullen face: "Is your family member sick too?" "My wife gave birth."
"My mother gave birth to..."
The noise was still going on, and many servants and maids came timidly: "Master, our family..."
Yue Fenghua was furious: "Get out! Get out now!"
Wei Changming stood aside with his hands clasped behind his back, looking half-smiley.
A small number of people here know about Yue Fenghua selling his apprentices, but most people don't know. People are just very realistic. I came here because of Yue Hongling. If Yue Hongling died, why would I stay here? Do you really think that Luoxia Villa is worth staying in? You are just that kind of person. There are several people who have followed you for ten years and are only at the third level of Xuanguan. The local branch instructors of small sects like the Blood God Cult have to be at the fourth level. What's wrong with you? After learning from you for ten years, you go out to do odd jobs
If Yue Hongling had followed you all the time, she wouldn't have learned anything. Why would we just be left here to eat dust
Wei Changming could think of this result, but even Wei Changming did not expect that everyone would be so realistic. The Book of Troubled Times had just been broadcast, and it started here... Perhaps we can only say that the credibility of The Book of Troubled Times is too strong after so many years, and everyone took it seriously even though it was vague in a few words.
He was too lazy to care about so many things. Others might not know, but he knew very well how much Yue Fenghua had offended his disciple and the Shura behind him this time. The sooner he drew a clear line, the sooner the matter would be over.
In just a moment, the bustling Luoxia Villa became deserted, with only seven or eight kittens left in the huge manor. Even the peddler at the door that Yue Hongling had seen when she came here before had disappeared. It was destined that the peddler would not come to a place with few people to waste time.
Yue Fenghua's hands were shaking as he looked at the deserted farmhouse during New Year's Day.
Above the clouds.
Zhao Changhe and Huangfu Qing sat cross-legged on the table eating buns, looking down at the changes happening below with great pleasure as if they were watching a play.
Yue Hongling had already woken up, her whole body was full of energy and she didn't even have a small wound. How could she look "uncertain about life or death"? It was just that the two people around her were eating buns, and she had no appetite at all. She stood in the clouds and looked down, feeling quite regretful in her heart: "Is this the revenge you mentioned?"
"Yeah." Zhao Changhe smacked his lips while eating. "This is only natural, isn't it? He raised you for a few years after all. We can't just do it directly. We have to teach him a lesson at least."
"… Yeah." Yue Hongling said, "The question is how did you do it? Did you write the book about the chaotic times?"
Zhao Changhe almost choked on his steamed bun. "No, no, I'm just bragging. It was just a coincidence. Well, if the person who wrote the book about troubled times was a woman, she would be as beautiful as a fairy. If it was a man, he would be extremely handsome and suave, unlike me with a scar on my face."
Blind man: “…”
"I think you have something wrong with your brain." Yue Hongling glared at him. She was not in the mood to get to the bottom of it. Looking at the villa below, there was a bit of melancholy in her eyes.
But as she watched, her expression slowly changed.
It’s not that there are few visitors, it seems there is something else…
Yue Fenghua was losing his temper at the villa when countless people came in from outside the door. They were all from other sects and gangs around Huashan Mountain. "Hey, Sect Leader Yue, are you spending the New Year alone?"
Yue Fenghua's heart skipped a beat: "What do you want?"
Someone smiled sinisterly and said, "It's not a big deal... Over the years, you've relied on the Wei family's support to rob and rob, suppressing the sects around Huashan so miserably. Why don't you come and repay the favor of Sect Leader Yue today?"
Another person gnashed his teeth: "Yue Fenghua, return my master's life to me!"
"Yue Fenghua, you said you would not remarry and created an image of a gentleman, but in fact you raped and robbed with your son. You said my daughter jumped off the mountain and it was an accident. I can't beat you in the lawsuit, so now I want to ask if your martial arts skills are as tough as the lawsuit!"
Yue Hongling in the clouds tightly grasped the hilt of the sword. At first, he had the urge to go down and help, but the more he listened, the more stunned he became, and he no longer had the heart to do so.
"Let's go. I don't want to watch it anymore." Yue Hongling turned around and was about to leave.
Zhao Changhe asked: "I think there is something else to look at."
Yue Hongling paused and whispered, "I'm afraid to listen."
I was afraid to hear it, but I heard it naturally...
"… Yue Fenghua, your wife tried to stop you from doing this, but you were so bold as to kill her. She was your wife who had lived with you through thick and thin. How could you have the heart to do this to her?"
"You are slandering me!"
"I'm slandering you? Do you want to see who this is! Your wife's maid, you sent people to look for her for two years, and now you don't recognize her?"
The sounds of conversation and cursing gradually died down, and the shouting and screaming of killing became louder, and the sound of swords clashing gradually reached the sky.
Yue Hongling stared blankly at her master who was at a disadvantage and was at a loss. She suddenly realized in her heart that her master was not unaware that his prosperity was brought by her, but he still wanted to sell her out. It was not because he was short-sighted and blinded by the prosperity.
It's because he's afraid of himself.
From the moment he returned home, the most frightened person in the whole Chang'an was him, Yue Fenghua.
But that was a dead end... If Yue Hongling didn't die, once she knew all these details one day, he, Yue Fenghua, would definitely die; however, if Yue Hongling died, without his "backer", he, Yue Fenghua, would still die, just like what happened today.
It doesn't matter whether he regrets it or not, because he had no choice from the beginning. But he probably didn't expect that the backlash would come so quickly and so directly.
Yue Hongling suddenly felt relieved. The sullen mood she had been in for the past two days disappeared. She smiled and said, "Let's go. Are there any buns left to eat?"
Zhao Changhe looked at her smiling face and asked carefully: "You..."
"I actually feel that the sword's will has become sharper..." Yue Hongling smiled and said, "According to the way of the sword, this is probably called severing worldly ties, right?"
“Uh…” Zhao Changhe twitched his cheeks. So this is the protagonist. How outrageous.
Yue Hongling sighed and said, "It's a pity that my earthly fate has already fallen on you. It seems that it can't be cut off. Do you want you to stretch out your head for me to chop off?"
Zhao Changhe asked: "Big head or small head?"
"Go away." Yue Hongling picked him up and said, "Let's go. You promised me that the sky is our father, the earth is our mother, and the top of Mount Langjuxu is our bridal chamber."
Huangfu Qing got goosebumps all over his body and squinted his eyes and said, "No matter how touching your words are, Saibei can no longer ride its horse alone like you two did in the past. Come back to the capital and make military arrangements."
Zhao Changhe whistled, the horse neighed loudly, and came over on the clouds.
The three men did not ride horses, but led the black horses and walked leisurely towards the east, facing the warm sun of the last day of the year.
Huashan's screams could be heard faintly, lingering and lingering, like a farewell tune.
Looking down at the numerous palaces and pavilions of Chang'an below, Zhao Changhe hummed a ballad leisurely: "These numerous pavilions and palaces are not what I imagined. I once had a painting in my mind, depicting their appearance... When I turned around and left that year, the sound of water faded away from the river bank. Whether the village is still there, I look back with regret from thousands of miles away..."
The two women looked at me sideways and asked, "Can you sing?"
The singing is ok...
Regardless of whether this Chang'an met his imagination, after three days in Chang'an, Bo'e fled, the gods and Buddhas all dispersed, and the empty Guanlong was no longer able to cause trouble for their Northern Expedition.
Tomorrow is the New Year, all things will revive, and the iron hooves of the Hu people will arrive soon.
The day of the decisive battle in the northern border is here.
