The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 737 The Beginning of Seeing and Hearing

In the guest house, the moon and stars are sparse.

Yue Hongling was leaning against the pavilion while drinking. She looked at Zhao Changhe sitting in the courtyard practicing kung fu with his eyes closed, and the smile never stopped on his lips.

Whether it was this performance of racing against time to practice or the conversation just now, Yue Hongling really liked it more and more as she watched it. Almost every word seemed to be spoken in her heart.

She doesn't think this is a hero, she just thinks he should be like this. This is the man who makes her heart stay in the world, and it has never changed since they met. Regardless of whether the intentions of Li Shentong and others are the same as before, Zhao Changhe must be.

Whether he was a bandit in the Beimang Mountains or the powerful King of Zhao today.

But if she knew that Zhao Changhe's so-called "racing for time practice" was actually talking to other women, I wonder if her smile would freeze on her face.

——This woman has bullied her more than once.

"Let me tell you the news from afar?" The blind man sneered in Zhao Changhe's sea of ​​consciousness: "Do you still want to convey your thoughts to them?"

Zhao Changhe said: "It would be best if you can..."

The blind man said: "Do you think of me as QQ or WeChat?"

"It seems that you have a lot of fun in this world... One day I can go back, and I can really add you's WeChat account."

"roll."

"There really is no need to discuss?"

"Are you referring to sending you a message or adding me on WeChat?"

"...adding you on WeChat is just a polite word, forget it." Zhao Changhe said sincerely: "Tell me what's going on in Jinzhong now? Is Qing'er in trouble?"

"Are you so natural that you just ask this question? Just like you are so natural that you treat this place as Shu County of the Han Dynasty, and you are so powerful that you can't even think about it?" The blind man sneered: "You think I am full of muscles. Idiot?"

"Do you think Li Shentong can't change his mind because I'm a natural? You really think he is stupid." Zhao Changhe sighed: "They are really shocked because of my proposal to divide the land and open education, and they are too lazy to argue with me about anything else. You Guess if he really pretends to be Shu County and arranges personnel and promotion of officials, you can see if he will throw me out. "

The blind man said "Huh" and made no comment.

Because she can't understand. Allocating land to others, why is Li Shentong shocked? Those things could have been his, shouldn't it be more appropriate to throw you out?

Gods and demons are far away, and what everyone cares about is always different.

"Li Shentong has nothing to talk about. I want to see Qing'er." Zhao Changhe said coquettishly: "Let's talk about it... we are so familiar with each other."

The blind man didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do you know how disgusting it is for such a big man like you to act coquettishly?"

"No matter how embarrassing I am, you've seen it, no matter what...it's you after all."

It's you after all... The blind man was startled, and he snorted coldly: "You are familiar with me, but I am not familiar with you. Stop talking nonsense, I can't be your eyes and ears, so what is going on? If you have the ability, you can see for yourself , this is just the ability to see and hear, it’s not unique to me, you can do it too.”

Zhao Changhe said: "That is to say, I can extend my current overlooking ability to the world. This must be at least the level of the third level of Yujing. When can I go there?"

"No matter when you get it, you have to practice. If you don't practice, you will never have it." The blind man crossed his arms: "Day by day, avoid taboos, practice overlooking the eyes, and avoid everything. Then he turned around and said, "We are very familiar with Blind Blind." , it’s you after all. Are you disgusting?”

Zhao Changhe: "...I'm not very shy about looking down."

"Tsk." The blind man sneered and ignored him.

But Zhao Changhe really doesn't shy away from the overlooking eye. He has felt from previous tests that the overlooking eye is nothing more than the result of the expansion of spiritual consciousness and five senses. It is an upgraded version of the "listening to identify position" in the early years.

But with the blessing of the behind-the-scenes eye, the range may be enlarged, and it may be possible to "see" more clearly than others. Normal people should only have a "perception", but if they witness it, this is the effect of the blessing of the behind-the-scenes eye. It does not mean that the entire external effect is brought about by the behind-the-scenes eye.

This kind of external release can be practiced by everyone, but when you practice it by yourself, you always have to use it with the eyes behind you. But it's impossible for you not to practice. The higher your practice, the bigger your vision and the clearer your vision are. That's the decisive difference between strength and weakness. How could you not practice? If you have played games, you know what opening a map is, right...

The reason why I practice less is because there are too many things to learn, and the time is so short. It is impossible to practice this or that. I have long forgotten the sky when looking down. It is really not a deliberate avoidance.

After being despised by the blind man, Zhao Changhe suddenly climbed up the pole: "Then let me teach you how to practice. I learned the wind control from the Thief Saint. I feel it is very helpful for hearing. The wind brings it I can listen carefully to the sound, and the range is much wider, but just listening, what about seeing?”

The blind man said smoothly: "You act like you know everything under the night sky, so this is not your control? Do you need to control the wind? What the hell."

After saying this, he paused again and said mockingly: "The new Ye Emperor will only use his status to play with his status. If the Ye Emperor knew about it, he would not be able to poke seventeen or eight holes in you!"

"Eh? What's wrong with me, the Night Emperor? Others don't understand and you don't understand either? No, when did I use this identity to play the role of a venerable? We are both in love!"

"I don't understand, I'm not familiar with brothels." The blind man said coolly.

Zhao Changhe: "..."

The two of them remained expressionless for a while, and Zhao Changhe suddenly became more energetic.

These days, I have been tempering and echoing the meaning of the galaxy through the Galaxy Sword. Although I have not been able to break through the imperial realm, I am really getting more and more familiar with echoing the galaxy.

In the hazy state, I always feel that my consciousness is floating in the sky, with the moon shining on me, overlooking the earth.

It is impossible to see the whole world like a blind man, but the effect is unexpectedly good. The previous overlooking eye can only see a mile in radius. Now that I have practiced, I thought I could see a city. As a result, my consciousness continues to expand. Not only can I overlook the whole Chengdu, but I can also extend to the suburbs for an unknown number of miles.

This is the effect of the Yuxing River, plus the blessing effect of the eyes behind me. It is not just a matter of practice... It is conceivable that when I really break through the realm of control, how much the visual range can be increased?

That is a matter for the future. Anyway, at this moment, I can vaguely see someone quietly leaving the city and flying outside.

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly and regained his spirit.

To curry favor with the blind man, first of all, I want to know the situation of Zhuque and others in the distance, and secondly, it is for this.

——Every word I say to Li Shentong is sincere, but the other party may suspect that I am fooling him. The dividing line between truth and falsehood is whether I spread these words and roast them in public opinion. I don't want to use public opinion to kidnap people. What I want is Li Shentong's sincere help. If I am misunderstood, it will cause trouble.

In this case, will there be a third party who is unwilling to cooperate with Li Shentong, such as the hidden agent of Tingxue Tower, who deliberately spreads it?

"I will help you find them out", this sentence at the banquet originally corresponds to this back-up plan.

But at that time, I didn't think of relying on this kind of divine sense to overlook and catch people, but planned to rely on the art of looking at the qi to see the sword qi hidden deep in them. That is obviously not reliable. What if the other party has no sword qi in his body at all, but was just bribed, then it is difficult to see the qi, and you can only see that the other party has bad intentions, which can't convince anyone. Now that I can catch him on the spot, it is more intuitive than anything else.

Zhao Changhe opened his eyes.

Yue Hongling was also practicing in the pavilion. Zhao Changhe opened his eyes, and she seemed to feel something and opened her eyes at the same time.

Zhao Changhe said: "Are you... protecting me?"

Yue Hongling smiled and said: "Of course, you were in a deep state of meditation for a while just now, so of course I have to protect you."

"Uh..." That is actually the state of spiritual consciousness being released, and you cannot be distracted. But in fact, the more you are in this state, the clearer everything around you is, and you really don't need others to protect you. But Zhao Changhe felt warm at heart when hearing Yue Hongling's intention, and said softly: "Why didn't you say a word during the whole banquet? You are also a distinguished guest, don't act like my bodyguard."

Yue Hongling said very straightforwardly: "In these matters, I am your bodyguard, and I am willing to be your bodyguard."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Yue Hongling said: "You suddenly fell into practice, do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Changhe took her hand: "Let's go, someone gave us a way out, of course we have to accept it."

He paused, and suddenly smiled: "It's great to have you, if it's just me, I can't take care of it."

"Master, Zhao Changhe and his wife suddenly left the guest house and headed north."

Li Shentong stood up, feeling a little regretful in his heart: "Is it true that they are trying to spread it... Let's go and see."

Under the moonlight, several figures left the city from different directions, quickly escaped into the dense forest, and shuttled north.

What Zhao Changhe said during the banquet frightened some people. No matter whether the Han Dynasty and Bashu would unite because of these things, they could not bear it.

That was digging the roots.

Equalizing the land and opening up education... This is the devil's way!

Once it is really pushed forward, it will not only be the death knell of the noble families, but also the death knell of many small sects, and the death knell of local officials. From then on, inheritance and monopoly became a thing of the past, and everything was exposed to competition. Li Shentong slaughtered the noble families, but he did not do this. Zhao Changhe wanted to uproot Bashu with just a few words!

Not to mention others, even within the Shenhuang Sect, there are opponents.

Because their Shenhuang Sect is also a powerful force with a monopoly on the skills, and it is representative.

Everyone thought that Li Shentong would not agree to these, but seeing Li Shentong's performance, they were actually quite touched... Whether it will really be implemented is another matter. Judging from Li Shentong's attitude, he may not really agree, but once his heart is shaken, it will be a warning bell.

Anyway, since Sect Master Li believes that Zhao Changhe cannot be trusted if the news spreads, why can't we spread it? It won't harm the Sect Master either.

Just thinking this, someone sat on a rock in the woods ahead and grinned at them.

Several people stopped in an emergency, their footsteps left long brake marks on the ground, and they were extremely horrified: "... Zhao, Zhao Changhe!"

At this time, seeing Zhao Changhe sitting there under the moon in the forest was just like an ordinary person suddenly seeing a white-browed tiger passing through the forest at night. The momentum that came towards him could really make people shudder.

Zhao Changhe jumped off the rock: "Everyone, it's bitterly cold in winter, and the dew is heavy. Why don't you rest at home? Why run to this dense forest outside the mountain to drink the northwest wind..."

He didn't even light his knife, but the people in front of him had already subconsciously trembled in their legs. Fear dominated everyone's heart, and they actually shouted instinctively, and drew their knives in unison to slash at Zhao Changhe.

——Now his blood evil no longer needs to be deliberately mobilized, it is already everywhere. But it is still unknown how much of a frightening effect the bloody evil will have this time, it is entirely due to human momentum. Zhao Changhe, who killed gods and demons, is too legendary in the eyes of the world, and no one has been able to pull out the tripod stuck in the city gate until now.

"Dangdangdang!" Several crisp sounds rang out, and several knives chopped at Zhao Changhe at the same time.

Zhao Changhe tilted his head slightly, pinched the knife on his neck with two fingers, and grinned: "The Shenhuang Sect shouldn't be so aggressive. I have used the explosive power of the Shenhuang Wind and Thunder Palm to this day. You guys I haven’t learned anything yet.”

No, who is the Shenhuang Sect? How come you were chopped with a knife and didn’t even get a seal?

Zhao Changhe suddenly took action, and there was a crisp sound of "ding, ding, ding," and all the swords came into his hands. Then he grabbed them, twisted them into twists, and threw them on the ground.

"Let's go back to the city with me and let's talk to Sect Leader Li."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shentong's sigh came from the distance: "In the end, you are the Shenhuang Sect and I am the Shenhuang Sect?"

Zhao Changhe smiled: "It's not good enough. Could you please give me some advice from Sect Master Li?"

Li Shentong's figure walked out of the mist of the dense forest and said calmly: "You, the moment the sword came to you, temporarily changed the muscle composition... It is quite laborious, and if the prediction of the landing point is wrong, it will Something went wrong."

Zhao Changhe said: "That's true. But that's all it can do for the time being."

Li Shentong nodded: "There is still room for improvement."

After saying that, he didn't say much, and his cold eyes fell on those people: "I thought Tingxuelou was the one who would do these things, but I didn't expect it was me, the Shenhuang Sect, myself!"

"Sect Master!" Someone shouted: "He is digging roots! Don't believe his lies!"

There was deep disappointment in Li Shentong's eyes: "If you have any opinions, you can raise them with me privately. Can you afford to act on your own and damage the relationship between forces? What's more... why do you and I raise troops?"

Is this mind the same as before?

Regardless of whether Li Shentong is the same as before, the arms with him may not be the same as before.

People are different.

Even Li Shentong himself needs to ask himself repeatedly... Even if he asks himself, he may not really have any answer.

Just like now, no matter how disappointed he is, he doesn't want to punish these people severely. If the reason for the punishment is given, it is "self-assertion" and "undermining diplomacy."

"Bring them all back to me, and they will be imprisoned for ten days..." I wanted to say ten days, but before I could finish my words, there was a sound in the air.

Yue Hongling held a hemp rope with five or six people tightly tied to one end, and it dropped from the sky like a kite. Falling in front of Zhao Changhe, Yue Hongling threw all the prisoners to the ground and said with a smile: "These people are running around, it's quite troublesome to catch them... Fortunately, they did not disgrace their orders."

No matter how they ran around, it was just a lot of effort in front of Zhao and Yue who could fly now.

Everyone in the Shenhuang Sect who had originally planned to protest suddenly turned ashen, and Li Shentong's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

These are not people from the Shenhuang Sect. Even though they don’t know each other, I can tell by thinking about it that they are servants sent by some officials from Bashu. The officials who would do such a thing must be the "important minister" who was at the banquet hall at that time. The status is no small matter.

The people of the Shenhuang Sect naturally knew that Bashu had buried many secrets of Tingxuelou, and now the attributes of these people were ready to be revealed.

"What the enemy wants to do, you do it together, don't you think you are smart?" What Li Shentong just said about "ten days in Tianjao" was changed directly: "Ten years in prison, bitten by poisonous insects day and night, no reduction in sentence!"

He bent down and pinched the neck of a servant, lifted it up with one hand, and said coldly: "Take me to your master's house, take a slow breath, and break one of your fingers."

Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling caged their hands and sat aside, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

It is said that many of the previous killings were not caused by them, and at least half of them were due to Situ Xiao cleaning up the ground for his master. Now this carrot can bring out a big lump of mud, and he doesn't need Zhao Changhe's Qi-gazing technique at all. This time, the angry Daxi King doesn't know what he will do...

…………

No matter what King Daxi might do, Zhao Changhe's "authenticity" was thoroughly proven through such an incident.

The young couple slept peacefully in the guest room warmed by the stove for a night. Early the next morning, Situ Xiao knocked on the door: "Get up and pee."

The two of them washed up randomly and came out of the courtyard. Situ Xiao had already laid out breakfast in the courtyard. Without waiting for the two of them to come out, he held a bowl of dandan noodles and ate it happily: "Damn, you guys slept soundly. I couldn't sleep at all because of your torture."

Zhao Changhe sat in front of him with a smile: "Why, how many did you kill?"

Situ Xiao was embarrassed to say it, and stretched out a finger: "Less than a hundred."

"Less than a hundred? That's much less than I thought. It's very restrained."

"I'm talking about a hundred tribes."

"Pfft..." Zhao Changhe had just taken a bite of noodles, and when he heard this, he spit it out and inhaled with a "hissing" sound.

It’s only been one night!

Situ smiled expressionlessly: "In troubled times, you are not doing much more kindness than us in the capital. That is still managed by the famous and elegant Tang Wanzhuang... They are like immortals, lurking in our place as traitors. Do you really think we have no temper?”

"No..." Zhao Changhe gasped: "Even if the dinner table was spicy yesterday, why do you even serve spicy breakfast!"

"What misunderstanding do you have about Bashu?"

"Can I have two steamed buns? You can't make the steamed buns so spicy, right? Well, if I remember correctly, the steamed buns come from Wuhou, so they also belong to Bashu."

Situ Xiao ordered his left and right men to get the steamed buns and muttered: "I can't even eat spicy buns, but I'm still a hero. You see, my wife can eat them."

Yue Hongling smiled but said nothing.

"It's not that I can't eat spicy food. Isn't it just that I can't eat something light in the morning?" Zhao Changhe said angrily: "Besides, I didn't say I was a hero."

“But my master looked at our ancestral temple early this morning and kept saying ‘hero, hero’.”

“…”

Situ Xiao sighed and whispered, “What you said touched him a lot. Originally, they didn’t know whether you were real or not, so it was fine for now. Once they confirmed it was true, I felt that my master had aged a bit.”

Zhao Changhe asked curiously, “So what?”

“So what.” Situ Xiao said seriously, “He thought he was doing it for the people, but looking back, some things are hard to judge. And your perspective gave him a hammer, making him feel that he was just a hammer.”

“You are the hammer.” Li Shentong’s voice came from outside the door, “How could I raise a traitor like you?”

Situ Xiao buried his head in his noodles.

Li Shentong stepped inside, personally took a bag of steamed buns and placed them on the table, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying: "I'm sorry for not being hospitable, King Zhao."

Zhao Changhe happily took the steamed buns and ate them, and asked: "To be honest with Master Li, I know a little bit of the ability to see the qi, do you need me to look around again and dig out other sword slaves with hidden sword qi?"

"Then I, Li, will not be polite to King Zhao, I need it." Li Shentong said calmly: "In return, when the Han Dynasty and Guanlong are fighting, Bashu will cooperate to enter Hanzhong. The war will be handed over to my junior brother Shi, and Situ will assist him, and I will follow King Zhao to the north."

Situ Xiao opened his mouth and looked at Zhao Changhe eagerly, hoping that he would lend him one more person.

But Li Shentong said: "Don't even think about going north. If you go, you will only be a general in Huangfu Yongxian's army, because you can't participate in the battle of Yujing. Who told you to be such a waste? You are about the same age as King Zhao. Look at what you have done at your age?"

Situ held back his smile. He didn't say that you are only half a grade higher than Zhao Changhe at your age. What have you done at your age?

Zhao Changhe said: "Situ has fought in the battle with General Huangfu before, so he is familiar with him. It's okay to let him go to Yanmen."

"Then go to Yanmen." Li Shentong didn't dwell on it, and said: "You said yesterday that Kunlun gods and demons are not interested in the hegemony of the world, but that's not entirely true. Since I have decided to cooperate with you, I will tell you about the things here, which is also a return of favor."
