The Book of Troubled Times Chapter 189

  Chapter 189 Suzaku White Tiger

  Following Xuanchong to the main hall of De Zongmen, Zhao Changhe was a little disappointed by the statue enshrined in the hall. It was not the statue of Zhenwu, but Sanqing.

  Maybe solving the case was not brought about by the jade card. If I have nothing to do to solve the case, who can I blame?

   To put it bluntly, to solve the mystery of this world is also to solve the case.

   In front of the statue of Sanqing sat cross-legged an old man with white beard and hair, looking at the immortal demeanor.

  Looking at his cross-legged posture, Zhao Changhe suddenly remembered that he had subconsciously practiced sitting cross-legged for a long time. Both Chichi and Yue Hongling said before that this is a Taoist practice posture, and not all exercises require sitting cross-legged, but since he practiced quietly, he subconsciously chose this sitting method, which seems to have some meaning.

  Old Daoist originally closed his eyes, but when the two of them stepped into the hall, they just opened them, and smiled slightly: "Are you back?"

As he said that, he nodded at Zhao Changhe: "The young hero is full of evil skills, and everyone calls him a bandit of the devil. It can be seen that in today's actions, evil spirits start from the outside and chivalry acts on the inside. Xuanchong has made friends, and traveling south can be said to be very rewarding. Please sit down."

  The tall hat is comfortable to wear, and Zhao Changhe doesn't bother to think about whether he is Xuanwu for the time being, let alone say that he and Xuanchong don't have much friendship. Then he also performed a junior ceremony and sat cross-legged on a futon. Soon a little Taoist priest offered tea, saluted and left.

   To be reasonable, although the hospitality is simple, it is more polite than the Cui family and the Tang family. In addition, the atmosphere of the sect is harmonious, and Zhao Changhe has a good impression.

Xuanchong said: "My disciple, Yulu, during his trip to Yangzhou, he did nothing but assist the locals in catching the evil followers of the Maitreya Sect. Even breaking the conspiracy of the Maitreya Sect was initiated by Brother Wan. Brother Zhao, Brother Tang and Yue The heroine rushed to kill the temple, and the disciples didn't even know about that battle, and didn't participate in it at all."

"It doesn't matter... Someone like Zhao Shaoxia is full of passion and evil spirits, so he needs to be calm. You can see that he is sitting in double lotus now. It is natural. But someone like you, who grew up in the mountains, has a quiet mind and does nothing, so he doesn't get involved in anything, just need more experience. Know yourself in the world of mortals. After you have experienced it, you will think more about things in the future, and the person who will play a role next time is you, which is your practice in the world."

  Xuan Chong saluted: "Your apprentice is taught."

   "So you should go to the banquet of the royal family. Not only should you go, but if the prince of the Wang family tries your sword with you, you should try your best to win it, and you can't be perfunctory."

   "...Yes." Xuan Chong agreed, but still couldn't help asking: "Does Master also think that he is here to test the sword?"

"It's just a test of the hearts of the world." Gui Chen smiled slightly: "See how many people are willing to bow their heads to the Wang family, see what the Cui family thinks about this, and see what the forces behind Qianlong think about this, and see us Whether Taiyizong is a bully or not, wait a minute. If there is nothing to be done, it is just a sword test for the young master who has been arrogant and domineering since the invitation, and it is not a big deal if he is scolded a few times."

  Xuan Chong was stunned for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat: "Are they going to stand on their own?"

   "It's unknown. After all, the crown prince is dead..." Gui Chen nodded leisurely and said no more.

  Xuan Chong's face is not very good-looking. If the Wang family wants to stand on their own, Taiyizong, who is close at hand, is really the first to show something. They either surrender or move away.

   And what the master said is to try our best to fight and win...then don't intend to surrender.

  Xuanchong asked cautiously: "Is it related to Master's order that unknown persons are not allowed to enter the mountain?"

"It's related to the Wang family's move, but it's not the Wang family's defense." Gui Chen smiled: "I believe there are quite a few people who can see the intention of the Wang family's doing this. Do you think someone will maliciously add fire to him? For example If something happened suddenly to our Taiyi Sect, what would others think?"

   Xuanchong's gentle temper could not help but curse: "This fucking..."

  Zhao Changhe also thought in his heart that this is indeed possible, what a **** lie.

Fortunately, Guichen is a strong man ranked twenty-ninth in the local ranking. Although he is not ranked high, in fact, there are only thirty people in the whole world who can beat him. Most people dare not act rashly even if they have malicious intentions. An ordinary sect should really run away at this time.

  So it is the last word to say that in troubled times, one's own fist is hard, and others will not reason with you.

   Xuanchong said: "But master, what's the use of asking the gatekeeper to check his identity, it's better to just close the door and thank the guests."

"There is no difference. If a strong person wants to sneak in, no one can prevent it. When such a strong person comes out, what he wants is the head of the teacher." Gui Chen seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him, very calm : "The so-called interrogation of identity is just a piece of information to the outside world, which means that the old man has made preparations, and those who want to make troubles should weigh it. And since I am prepared, I have probably communicated with the court and the royal family. What is the result, do we still have to force it?"

   Xuanchong was dumbfounded: "Why do I feel that I have cultivated a false way since I was a child? This is something we Taoists consider?"

   Guichen smiled, and there was some sigh in the smile: "Fool, in the chaotic world, how can you be clean?"

   Xuan Chong couldn't help muttering: "Then...why don't you just leave?"

"Because we are not only cultivators, but also warriors. We avoid things when things happen. No matter how difficult it is to advance with this sword. I can stop advancing, but you can't. From now on, your word 'Chong' will really give me a punch. Once you are on the list of people, go back to our Taoist rush."

  Xuanchong was silent for a long time, and kowtowed deeply: "Your apprentice is taught."

  Zhao Changhe sat next to him and watched the conversation between master and apprentice, without saying a word from beginning to end.

   It seems that there is no need to solve the case, that's not the case.

  The old man knows better than anyone else, who is needed to solve the case? Many of his words also deeply touched Zhao Changhe.

   Sure enough, it is necessary to travel all over the world and see many heroes, so this trip is not in vain.

  He is definitely not Xuanwu, the Four Elephant Sect will only think that the world is not chaotic enough.

  So... Among the people who may come to cause trouble maliciously, will there be the Four Elephant Sect?

  For some reason, under such a tense atmosphere, Zhao Changhe inexplicably smelled a breath of Shura field...

   Maybe this is the bloodthirsty Shura.

  In the dead of night, the moon shines on Songgang.

  Two slender figures stand under the moon, quietly looking at the looming Taiyizong building in the distance.

   "Ginger is still old and spicy, Guichen has already prepared, and this matter is not feasible." The firebird mask showed a strange red under the moon, like a faintly burning demon fire.

  The red lips parted slightly in the demon fire, and they were clearly speaking cold words, but it made people feel lazy and charming.

   Standing beside her is a woman with a white tiger mask. The tiger face is ferocious, but the chubby look is a bit cute, diluting the murderous intent.

  The figures of the two are charming, the other is exquisite, and Chunlan and Qiuju have their own styles, but it is a pity that neither of them can get a glimpse of their true appearance.

  The beautiful eyes under the white tiger mask glanced at Suzaku. Xia Chichi always thought that Venerable Suzaku should be a very beautiful big sister, but it's a pity that with his current status, he couldn't get a glimpse of her true face.

   Venerable Suzaku is actually not teaching all the time, and he is also a dragon who never sees the end, and occasionally appears to lead important things, such as this time. I don't know what kind of identity she is in daily life. It's really strange that there is no corresponding similar character after thinking about it all over the world.

Xia Chichi always felt that she was being tricked, because even if she wore a mask, the whole world would know that this white tiger was her Xia Chichi, and what she would play as a lurker in the future probably had nothing to do with her, it was like being dragged by Suzaku It is specially used to manage school affairs... Thinking of Suzaku's joy at the beginning, is there still a hidden layer...

  But anyway, although Suzaku and her are not commensurate with each other, they are definitely a real mentor-student friendship. She still respects Suzaku very much.

Hearing Suzaku's intention to give up, Xia Chichi heaved a sigh of relief: "Actually, I thought it was inappropriate to do so, the method was too rough, and I didn't know what the consequences would be, so we did it for nothing. We didn't drive it so crazy What's more, barbarians love to do this kind of thing more, and we shouldn't do what barbarians love to do."

"In the eyes of the gods, there is no difference between Hu and Han. You have to change your concept." Suzaku criticized, but didn't take it seriously. In fact, he basically agreed with Xia Chichi's opinion: "But Hu people are confident that shamans will live forever, and they are not the same as us. If they really entered the Central Plains, they would also label us as demon cults and exterminate them. From this point of view, we and the Hu people are indeed enemies. The Maitreya sect is really deluded by lard, and we can't even understand it.”

  Xia Chichi smiled, and took another breath in his heart.

   It is said that Zhao Changhe entered Taiyizong during the day, so it is fine if he does not fight.

   But Suzaku said: "But Miss Cui's family is coming to Langya right now? It's quite appropriate for you to do this."

   "Huh?" Xia Chichi's eyes widened.

  PS: I still don't have it tonight, so I'll spend more time at the beginning of the volume.
