Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 775: Today you and me

Views:

In the night sky, the clouds covered the moonlight again, and there were still sparse fireworks below. The young boy and girl sat side by side on the clouds, their feet swaying.

"If I say... I'm in a bad mood tonight and don't want to accompany you to do shameless things, will you regret it?" Tang Wanzhuang leaned on Zhao Changhe's shoulder and looked at the fireworks below, and asked softly.

"Why should I regret it?" Zhao Changhe said with a smile, "I took you out for a walk tonight, one to relax you, the other to help you break the defense, now both are perfectly achieved, isn't it good? Do you think I was just looking for an opportunity to do that..."

"Isn't it?" Tang Wanzhuang curled her lips: "When you wanted to take me to go boating, didn't you want to do what the people on the boat were doing? Then you found out that someone had done it first..."

Zhao Changhe laughed, "Really not. I thought you would like to go boating on a moonlit night... In the past, you played the piano and I sang on Taihu Lake. Two years have passed in a flash. I want to relive this dream. But now it seems that standing quietly in the sky and looking back at the fireworks is not inferior in artistic conception. It's good."

Tang Wanzhuang could sense his calm heart and quietly looked up at him. He was smiling all the time and indeed did not have any evil thoughts, and was not annoyed at being misunderstood.

She really had the feeling that this man was cultivated exactly according to the temperament she wanted... Thinking of being teased for raising a husband she wanted, Tang Wanzhuang's face became a little hot. It was true.

No, what kind of training do you mean? Now he has become my master.

Tang Wanzhuang was afraid that he would ask her to call him Master when they were having sex... But not only did he not have those embarrassing and bad feelings, but he was in such a peaceful mood, which was really unexpected.

"I was full of desires earlier, especially when I was a rookie, I didn't dare to indulge myself. Later, I might have gone too far... But now that my body is in my control, if I can still be trapped in lust, how can I control my body?" Zhao Changhe laughed and said, "If I say that I am doing these things just to pay my taxes, do you think I will become a monk one day?"

Tang Wanzhuang's beautiful eyes moved as she spat softly, "I don't believe that someone like you would become a monk. Before you reach the destination you want, you will always have new desires in your heart... Just like Baoqin, although she wants to be with you, how could you not want her at all? It's clear that it takes two hands to tango."

"It's true that Tan Baoqin is cute and lovely... But it's true that she just wanted to reassure her, and she wasn't in a hurry to eat. This is the difference from the past... In fact, she just wanted to be reassured."

"Of course." Tang Wanzhuang said angrily, "I'm a virgin, I'm not shameless."

Zhao Changhe's mind flashed with the spring light in the illusion of Po Xun, and the gentle smile that could never exist. He whispered to himself: "But I do have other desires..."

Tang Wanzhuang was not jealous at all, and actually asked, "Who do you want to get? Miss Li? I heard she is very beautiful, but a little cold."

Zhao Changhe hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head: "Let's take it as it is."

The blind man retracted his foot as he was about to kick out.

Tang Wanzhuang said leisurely, "If you want her, then forget about using conventional means... It's better to look forward to a conquest and let Li Boping hand over his daughter to you."

Zhao Changhe was a little surprised: "Is this what you said?"

"Why not?" Tang Wanzhuang smiled slightly: "As long as it is what you want... I will tie the person in front of you with my own hands."

"Uh..." These words made Zhao Changhe feel itchy in his sagely state of mind, but unfortunately he really didn't want to talk to them more about the blind man and Jiuyou. The blind man was listening, and who knew which of them would offend her

I had to change the subject: "Although your control realm is broken, the problem I talked about with Chi Chi before still exists. Chi Chi can transform dragon energy and practice faith, and it will grow naturally without deliberate practice, although it is slow... But what about you? Just rely on drugs? In my opinion, I don't approve of relying solely on drugs to practice."

Tang Wanzhuang looked at him in astonishment. "Now that the defense has been broken, it means that he has the power of gods and demons. How many of the so-called demon gods that we worried about in the past are at the second or third level? Most of them are just like Huang Huang. Now we have enough power to deal with them. What's more, his beautiful face is old and his spirit is always there. Isn't that enough... What your majesty and I are looking for now should not be personal force anymore."

Zhao Changhe was stunned, looking a little strange.

That's true... The watershed of the Imperial Realm is different from the previous levels. Anyway, if you reach this level, you can basically achieve immortality. There are not many people who can be stronger than them. As an emperor and prime minister of an empire, do you still pursue the first place in martial arts? That's not what they should consider. What they should consider is themselves and Zhuque Hongling. Everyone's division of labor has long been different.

But are you really not competing with Suzaku? It's been so many years... Can you let it go

Even if you let it go, she may not let you go. She will hold you down and spank you. Can you bear it

Tang Wanzhuang knew what he was thinking, but she didn't continue talking. She just said softly, "It's late, go back to sleep."

As she spoke, her face slightly flushed, and she whispered in a low voice, "I just asked you for fun whether you would regret doing those things with me. I almost asked you about your monk's heart. For us sisters, we would rather you be full of desires, no matter how absurd they are."

So women...

It's really not that kind of thing that makes her angry with you.

Zhao Changhe couldn't help laughing out loud, Tang Wanzhuang said angrily: "What are you laughing at!"

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Then go home?"

"… Um."

"I'm ready." Zhao Changhe hugged her and said, "Use your internal energy to protect your body."

Tang Wanzhuang was stunned. How big are you going to play? You even need to use your internal energy to protect your body!

But he had just said “no matter how ridiculous it is” and he was too embarrassed to swallow it back in front of others, so he could only practice his martial arts shyly.

"Close your eyes." Zhao Changhe's voice sounded in his ears.

Tang Wanzhuang was helpless and closed her eyes in shame.

As a result, the next moment, the world was spinning, and there seemed to be an illusion that the space was being torn apart around him. The body that was protected by Qi suddenly felt pressure, but it was quickly eliminated by the Qi shield that Zhao Changhe opened.

Tang Wanzhuang opened her eyes in surprise, and saw her own Tang family mansion in front of her.

From the far suburbs, I suddenly arrived at the Tang family residence in the city center! This is not speed, this is teleportation!

Space transfer!

"You..." Tang Wanzhuang suppressed her shock and said, "How did you do it? Even if the previous emperor was so powerful, he still had to rely on his underground sky to be omnipresent."

"As for Old Xia, his short-distance teleportation definitely doesn't require the help of the underground sky. He may not show it to you normally. As for me..." Zhao Changhe smiled and leaned close to her ear: "It was Wanzhuang's Chunshui who gave me the insight."

I am Yu Guang, what Chun Shui... Tang Wanzhuang wanted to argue shamefully, but Zhao Changhe had already strode into the yard holding her.

The girl holding her zither in the outer room was awakened from her sleep by some noise. She rubbed her eyes and got up to look. In the scented tent in the inner room, the elegant and noble lady in her mind was responding submissively to the man's attack. The charm in her eyes was shocking.

Baoqin covered her eyes, her heart almost jumping out of her throat, and she quickly retreated to her own small room.

Just as Zhao Changhe and Tang Wanzhuang said, the little girl jumped up and down just to feel at ease. If you really pull her to bed without saying anything, that would be a real dragon. People also expect a romantic wedding, not just a refill.

Fortunately, the two people inside knew very well what she was thinking. After the voices gradually died down, there was no voice of "Baoqin, come here for a moment", and the dark night soon became completely silent.

The heart that was playing the piano and drums was stuffed back into his chest. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, lay down on his little bed, and fell asleep again with a peaceful mind.

Whoever wants to help you clean up, just clean it up yourself.

… …

The next morning, Zhao Changhe woke up from a rare sleep. There was no trace of her beauty beside him. Tang Wanzhuang had already gone to court early in the morning, so there was no way for her to play the trick of being helped up by a maid.

They only had one day off as there were a lot of things to do at the morning court today. For example, Tang Wanzhuang was going to be the prime minister.

I just don't know what the atmosphere will be like when I see Chi Chi and Zhu Que in the morning court after monopolizing the man for a night. Xia Chi Chi will have to hold his nose to promote her to the position of prime minister. I don't know how to describe that feeling in words, and Zhao Changhe doesn't dare to think about it.

He got out of bed and went out to see Baoqin sitting outside with her chin in her hand, waiting for him. When she saw him come out, she jumped up and brought him water for him to wash.

In the past, the little girl was always in a bad mood when she saw him, and her little mouth opened like a mushroom. Now, she didn't even dare to look at him, and said with lowered eyebrows and eyes: "What do you want for breakfast? I'll get it."

Zhao Changhe pinched her little face.

Baoqin puffed her cheeks and tried to push his hand away: "Don't say you want to eat me." Zhao Changhe was amused: "You know a lot. Have you copied a lot of books?"

"Hehe." Baoqin took the towel he had washed and ran away with the basin of water: "I'll get you two steamed buns. I saw you had a great time eating last night."

Zhao Changhe: "…At least it has to be a bun."

Baoqin really brought the buns. Thinking of some of the scenes she saw last night, her cheeks still felt hot. Zhao Changhe looked like he was grabbing a lady when grabbing the buns. In the end, she couldn't help but turn her head away and said, "I still have work to do at the Demon Suppression Division. The lady said that she has to hand over today. I have a lot of information to sort out. I don't have time to accompany you for dinner. If you have anything to tell me, tell me. If not, I'll leave..."

Zhao Changhe didn't say anything either, just pointed at his face.

Baoqin looked around like a thief, quickly leaned over and kissed her, then her eyebrows and eyes blossomed with joy, and she turned and ran away, still pretending to be stubborn: "Your face is as hard as cowhide, and you have the nerve to ask me to kiss you."

Zhao Changhe walked out of the house while eating a bun with a smile on his face, holding a bag of buns and soy milk in his hand. He walked on the street like an ordinary young man.

The streets were still littered with firecracker debris, and some people were cleaning up the streets. The faint smell of gunpowder in the air had not yet dissipated, but many shops had already opened for business.

Zhao Changhe was chewing on a bun while looking at the vibrant capital. When he finished eating the bun, he suddenly disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was already the underground sky.

Yue Hongling had been meditating here for a whole night. When she felt his coming, she slowly opened her eyes. There seemed to be a flash of sword in her eyes, and it was obvious that she had made another breakthrough in swordsmanship.

Seeing Zhao Changhe appear beside him, Yue Hongling smiled slightly: "Are you tired of taking care of everyone like a regular?"

Zhao Changhe placed the steamed buns and soy milk next to her and smiled apologetically: "Eat something?"

Yue Hongling took it and ate it without hesitation: "Don't worry about my mood. I don't want to get involved in the things around you. It's very meaningful for me to meditate here. If possible, you can close the entrance and let me meditate for three to five days. Maybe the effect will be better."

Zhao Changhe asked, "What did you realize? Taking someone's head from a thousand miles away?"

Yue Hongling pondered and said, "If it is said that the will is infinite and not limited by time and space, then the sword will is obviously one of them. As long as I can see, my sword light can reach. But how can I see thousands of miles away? I can't always rely on this sky... I'm thinking that Xue Xiao and Shi Wuding use sword energy to control sword slaves. Maybe there is another layer that allows them to see thousands of miles away through these retained sword energies?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Maybe you are overthinking it. They were far from this realm at that time."

"They can just recite the ancient methods, which may not be their own understanding." Yue Hongling said: "If I follow this understanding, I can actually use the sky to bury my sword energy in some important places. By then, I can also regard the whole world as my eyes. But my spirit is not enough, so I can't control too much... I have to make some choices and can only set a few key points. You can also think about it. Where is the best place to reserve? Chang'an?"

"If we were in places like Kunlun, the Changshengtian Temple, or Timur's tent, would we be discovered by them?"

"It's possible, so we can't get too close. It's better to have a good hiding place nearby. Kunlun is no problem. There are all kinds of energy reactions in a mess. One more wisp of my sword energy won't make much difference. Other places... I'll study them carefully these days."

Zhao Changhe nodded: "Then add another place."

"where?"

"Gusu, monitor the Sword Emperor's changes. I always feel that he is about to come out - the closer your practice is to his, the more likely he is to come out. This must be your karma. I can almost see the connection between you two."

Yue Hongling said "Hmm", "I'll keep an eye on it... Actually, I've wanted to talk to him for a long time. We were so far apart in cultivation that I was quite cautious about it. Now it's about time..."

Seeing that Yue Hongling knew what was going on, Zhao Changhe said no more. Now that everything was settled, it was Chi Chi and Wan Zhuang's business to coordinate and arrange the subsequent actions. Of course, his main goal was still to practice, so he closed his eyes and continued to practice.

This time the space transfer had a big impact on him - especially after the transfer with the evening makeup, it was simply a super low-profile version of a blind man transferring him to this world.

I once thought about whether to refine this underground sky dome into a smaller size and carry it with me so that I can go anywhere at any time. Now it seems that there is no need for this. The sky dome is just a key, using it to contact the most mysterious law of time and space. The ultimate goal is not to refine it, but to be able to be everywhere without it. That is the real level of blindness.

While in a hazy state of meditation, I saw the blind man again.

She seemed to walk out of the void and came quietly to the front.

Zhao Changhe sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and slowly spoke: "Why did you suddenly come to me? Ever since the incident with Bo Xun Jiuyou, you seem to be very cautious with me."

The blind man said calmly: "You have been involved in the change of time and space, so of course I have to come and take a look, especially to tell you where the next page of the heavenly book is."

Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment: "Is it because of the change of time and space that I can catch up with you, or is it because of this that I can go home?"

The blind man said calmly, "Both. Whether you want to surpass me or go home, this is the only way for you. So you must be determined to get this page of the heavenly book."

Zhao Changhe said sarcastically: "Well, I want to surpass you."

The blind man said coldly: "I know."

Zhao Changhe: "…"

The blind man sneered: "Even if it's the kind of supernatural power you want... you will never be able to do it without this page of the heavenly book."

Zhao Changhe stopped talking dirty: "Let's be frank, we are still missing two pages of the Heavenly Book. One page of time and space must be in Jiuyou's hands. What is the attribute of the other page in the Changshengtian Temple?"

The blind man said, "Existence and non-existence. To put it more simply, it includes reality and illusion, truth and fantasy, and so on."

Zhao Changhe's heart moved.

The blind man said, "Bo Xun has the Mirror of Truth and Illusion, which is a treasure. This item has a miraculous effect on Jiuyou's recovery. Now I think it is very likely that it has fallen into her hands. It is known that she may not suffer a loss in the battle of Chang'an. At least your defeat of Bo Xun is of some benefit to her."

Zhao Changhe said: "That is to say, Jiuyou will also want this page of Changshengtian, which will promote many of her laws."

"Yes, returning everything to nothingness may be her ultimate goal."

"Then it's hard to say what Jiuyou's attitude is towards the Northern Expedition... I originally thought she would cooperate with the Hu people, but now it seems that even if she cooperates, she is stabbing us in the back."

"Don't try to cooperate with her just because of this. The fact that she and I are irreconcilable is another matter. The key point is that you can't reconcile with her either. You will end up courting disaster."

"Why are you suddenly willing to tell me this?"

"Because you showed today that you can really control your desires." The blind man sighed: "In the past few months, do you know what I felt like I was looking at? A pig in heat."

"… "

"As long as you can control it... it's not surprising that people have desires..." The blind man suddenly laughed, and his smile was somewhat charming: "It's a pity that people without ability can only think about it in their hearts."

Zhao Changhe, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, finally opened his eyes and looked at her: "Can I take it that you are saying that only incompetent people need to control their desires?"

"Oh, you're not convinced? You can think so." The blind man smiled and said, "Want to surpass me? Then let's see if you have the ability to do so."

"I think that people who can control their desires have great abilities in themselves." Zhao Changhe said calmly, "Xia Xia, judging by the deeds rather than the heart, there is no point in us getting entangled in this matter. Now that you are willing to have a serious conversation, I will also ask you a serious question."

The blind man was stunned: "You say."

"I have forgotten how many times I have reluctantly tested you... Anyway, this time, I am formally proposing it. Please tell me what you want, and we can cooperate openly. Am I qualified today?"

The blind man was silent for a long time, and finally whispered: "When you break the Changshengtian, we will discuss it again."
