The Book of Troubled Times Chapter 778

Chapter 778 The Ye Family Sisters' Gamble

"You actually take action personally and participate in the struggle for hegemony in the world." In the night sky, Jiuyou asked the blind man with a smile: "Is there something wrong here?"

The blind man said calmly: "Why don't you ask if there is something wrong with your smiling expression all day long?"

Jiuyou smiled even more happily: "Because the target is you."

“Cui Yuanyang is not me, and Zhao Changhe was not me earlier either. I don't smile as cheerfully as anyone else, just like the little Taohong in Yihong Courtyard.”

Jiuyou was stunned for a moment by these words. He seemed to find it incredible that a blind man said such things, and then he laughed again: "You can say such things, why can't I laugh?"

"But your smile is a superficial smile, or simply a charming smile in Yihong Courtyard. It looks fake and stupid." The blind man told her seriously: "It's nothing else. Do you like to smile or not?" It just makes me feel embarrassed, after all you are my sister."

Jiuyou was so speechless that he couldn't laugh anymore, his face was expressionless.

As soon as the smile faded, I soon felt a desolate and dead silence. No wonder the blind man said it was a superficial smile. In fact, from the beginning to the end, from the moment they met in Chang'an, no matter how she smiled, there was indifference in her eyes, which only made people feel that this smile was fake and not actually true. It suits her, but the plainer the look, the more suitable it is. Anyone will have a feeling of "she should be like this".

 The more prosaic they are, the more similar they are.

One is as quiet and plain as night, and the other is as dead and desolate as a distant expanse. It is difficult to distinguish these temperaments with the naked eye. Anyway, in Zhao Changhe's eyes, they both have the same adjective: large galaxy.

The blind man said calmly: "Could it be that you are trying to distinguish yourself from me, so you let go of that silly smile?"

"Not really." Jiuyou suddenly smiled again: "My sister, maybe you have forgotten... I represent your negative side most of the time. This negative side is not just rules and chaos, life and death... Do you I never thought that your usual seriousness means that I can actually be very slutty."

 Blind man: “?”

"Of course, we have never thought about this aspect before, and no one can show it... After all, this aspect is the second most important to us. We hardly think about it, or even think it doesn't exist." Jiu You Yanran said: "But you actually found a man before me. This is really surprising. It seems that you are more wanton than me."

The blind man folded his arms: "That's his desire, not mine. What do you mean I found a man? On the contrary, it was you who publicly stated that you wanted to mess with someone's backyard... I was still thinking about how you could say this to your face. It turns out Is it because of debauchery? Are you watering when you say it?"

"Tsk..." Jiuyou said, "I never thought this would be a topic between you and me."

She tilted her head and said in a funny tone: "If people knew we were arguing about this back then, what do you think their expressions would be?"

The blind man sneered: "You can let people know now. I would like to see how dissolute you can be and say this to others."

Jiuyou said: "Then why are you willing to tell me?"

 The blind man did not answer.

Jiuyou sighed: "You said you didn't find a man, so why did you participate in the struggle for hegemony in the world? Don't think that you can get over this by changing the topic."

 The blind man said: "Since you take action, it will be the end of thousands of miles of silence. Of course I have to stop you. What's so surprising?"

"But I'm just catching Cui Yuanyang." Jiuyou blinked narrowly: "The so-called war, I am not responsible for taking action, but what about you? Why do you want to protect Cui Yuanyang? Is it to save an important combat force so that To help your man win this battle? Or to... worry about her awakening? "

The blind man looked around and said to him: "You have no rules in your heart. Who can believe that you will not take action in the war? If I guessed correctly, you have another avatar in the north of the Great Wall at this time. Is it not to cause trouble in the war? Are you going to recommend yourself to a pillow?"

Jiuyou also ignored her topic and continued to talk about his own: "My sister, aren't you the one who wants to kill Cui Yuanyang the most? What do you think after watching her grow up alive and kicking for so many years? It's because you didn't find out before. Is she Piao Miao? Indeed, her looks are not very consistent, and she has inherited quite a lot from her parents. But it's impossible that you haven't discovered it now, why don't you take action? "

The blind man said calmly: "Piao Miao is immortal, just like you and me, killing or not is meaningless. In fact, she has been reincarnated for many lives, including the Four Swords family, but she has not triggered the awakening. There will be no awakening in this life. There is a big difference... A small amount of past life aura is normal. There is no major introduction to fully reviving past life memories, and Cui Yuanyang alone cannot do it..."

“So you stopped me? Afraid I could wake her up.”

"With all due respect." The blind man sneered at the corner of his mouth: "You are not from this way. You can't do it at all. I can do it just fine."

Jiuyou also sneered: "So are you willing to do it?"

 The blind man did not answer, but instead asked: "You claim not to participate in the war, so now you plan to chat with me until the end of the world?"

 As far as the blind man is concerned, it is enough to hold Jiuyou back, and the rest is Zhao Changhe's business.

But for Jiuyou, the Guanlong army was blocked outside Hangu, so there was nothing else to do. She was here to help the army break this gap. The blind man's understanding of her is the truth. A demon based on chaos, who says she doesn't participate in human wars, lies to ghosts.

However, neither of them wanted to take action, and their anger would have consequences that were hard to tell.

Why did the early demon gods cower and dare not come out? Because they are full of malice towards each other, for example, when Annihilation is seriously injured and there happens to be Snow Owl by its side, its ending will be very ugly; Bo Xun is seriously injured, which is also a good thing for Jiuyou, who can steal its true Mirror of illusion. Everyone is like this.

If the blind man and Jiuyou really get into a fight, it is hard to predict what kind of fight they will have. If both sides suffer, it is easy to lose control in this turbulent era, and even be picked off by others.

 So the two of them would rather chat than take action. It's just that the blind man can chat for eternity leisurely, but can Jiuyou?

Jiuyou can also... They are just looking at other battle situations to see which family will collapse first.

The torches were brightly lit below, and the shouts of killing gradually spread to the sky.

When the Qinghe Sword temporarily failed and Cui Wenjing and others were suppressed by the disaster, the clarion call for the Guanlong Army's first trial attack finally sounded. Fortunately, it was desolate and semi-crippled at the moment, otherwise the Han army would not be able to withstand another hundred miles of withering, but in the short term he would not be able to use it anymore, and he had completely entered into the conventional logic of war.

 Artillery manufacturing is very slow, and mass production is very small. Here, hundreds of thousands of armies are fighting, and a few cannons are of little use, so there is no layout for the time being. The cry of killing came from far away. Jiuyou lowered his head and looked down at the stalemate attack and defense in Guancheng. He showed a sarcastic smile: "Sister, what do you think will happen when Huangshang recovers a little?"

 The blind man did not answer her, as if he was thinking about something.

Jiuyou asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

A golden light flashed in the sky: "At the end of the first month, Huangfu Yongxian led his troops out of the fortress, and Yanmen was empty. The demon **** Feng Yin led the troops from southern Shanxi to the north and raided Yanmen. The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Tang Wanzhuang, rushed to the rescue alone. Within ten seconds, Feng Yin's internal strength retreated. Collect them all, and the danger in Yanmen will be resolved."

 “I will report my wishes to you on the golden platform, and support you with the help of the jade dragon to die for you.”

 “…” Jiuyou opened his mouth and closed it again.

 You have been talking to me for so long, and you are writing a book at the same time? I'm still thinking about poetry... Is the Jade Dragon you're talking about the Jade Dragon I'm thinking of?

In fact, Zhao Changhe hadn't figured out why Jiuyou couldn't see Wanli before. Apart from insufficient recovery and other factors, the most important factor was that this item was covered by the blind man's law of borrowing heavenly books, which basically monopolized her and the blind man. Same thing.

 The Battle of Yanmen ended so quickly, which no one expected. What Jiuyou didn't expect was that the blind man was cheating again.

Previously, someone in Huangfu Yongxian's army flew to "report the news" in order to shake the morale of the army. Although Huangfu Yongxian saw through it and decisively killed people to solve the problem, in fact, the smarter soldiers probably knew it well. It was foreseeable that Yanmen would be attacked by surprise, but no one knew what the outcome would be, so it was unavoidable to worry.

The blind man cheated directly. Instead of making a unified summary after the entire battle was over as usual, he first broadcast the Yanmen battle to the world. His only intention was to help Zhao Changhe stabilize the morale of the army.

 You also said that he is not your man. How is this **** crooked? Is this why you don't participate in worldly disputes?

Facing Jiuyou's strange gaze, the blind man was like the wind blowing in his face. He pretended not to know, and instead asked with a smile: "Ah, I'm sorry, what were you asking me just now? Is it a disaster or something like that?"

Jiuyou's face was expressionless.

The blind man smiled and said: "Actually, I participated in the battles in the world. Under my system, the emperors of the world are my blue dragons, and they are still now."

Jiuyou laughed: "I haven't heard this from you for a long time, and it sounds inexplicably sarcastic. You are like a book now, and there is a page in it that I wipe my **** every day, just like it is wiped on your face."

I thought that these words would make the blind man furious, but in the end, the blind man was very numb, and his expression did not change. He still asked with a smile: "I don't know what will happen when the devastation recovers. But the battle in northern Shanxi is over, and everyone is I know. By the way, Feng Yin is fleeing south at the moment and has almost passed through the vicinity. It seems that he has no intention of coming to see you? "

"He doesn't dare to come back to see me at all." Jiuyou smiled slightly: "He will find a way to offset the merit."

The blind man smiled and said: "Then you and I are here to watch their outcome?" Jiuyou said: "Why not?"

“Well, we're a little bored here, how about we make a bet?”

"Huh? To be honest, I don't particularly care about the outcome of this battle. Why should I make this bet with you?"

The blind man said leisurely: "I know that what you care about is not the outcome of the battle. What you want is nothing more than chaos in the world... Oh, maybe you have other needs in the Temple of Eternal Life. I want to make a bet with you, and of course it is not about the outcome of the battle. , I bet that everything you want will come to nothing... Whether it's the troubles you seem to have all over the world, or the battle in the temple, you will steal the chicken but lose the rice, do you believe it?"

Jiuyou sneered: "Of course I don't believe it. Even if most places fail like northern Shanxi, there will still be some successes."

"If you don't believe it, you have to gamble." The blind man smiled and said, "What will you say if all your plans fail?"

Jiuyou's indifferent eyes finally had some sparkle, and he chuckled: "If that's the case, I will give you the Mirror of True Illusion. I know you want it too. But what if there is success? Can you give it to me? What am I? Are you a man?"

The blind man ignored this at all and just said lightly: "How about the Book of Life you want?"

Jiuyou looked at her seriously, with a slight trepidation in his eyes: "What if what I want is the entire Heavenly Book?"

 The blind man's eyelids moved slightly, as if he was about to open his eyes.

He quickly suppressed it and whispered: "You have always wanted to replace me... but you don't know, this is not a good thing."

Jiuyou stared at her steadily.

 The blind man sighed: "If you insist on betting like this, you can do it, but don't regret it."

Jiuyou chuckled and said nothing.

The blind man said: "What if someone breaks the contract after losing the bet?"

Jiuyou pointed at the sky: "Since cause and effect are open, you have to bear your own responsibility. If you use such words to trick me, you are not tricking yourself."

"That's good." The blind man said without comment, "The incident in northern Shanxi is considered the first one. You and I just keep watching."

 “Bang!” Feng Yin hit the golden barrier with his head, so hard that he almost vomited out gall.

He knew where Jiuyou was, and he didn't dare to see this scary woman at all - although he couldn't tell how scary she was when communicating with the blind man, and he was even a bit cute when communicating with Zhao Changhe, but that was all because of the blind man. But in the hearts of everyone else, Jiuyou is an extremely terrifying demon king.

This can only prove that the blind man's rank is higher...so high that Jiuyou never even thought about seeing Ye Wuming again in this life, and it would be like this.

 In short, Feng Yin did as Jiuyou expected. He wanted to go to other places to make up for his mistakes, so he went south and arrived at Xiangyang first.

Feng Yin's heart moved slightly. He felt that this was an important town. As long as it was disrupted, it would at least satisfy Lord Jiuyou's needs, so he turned into a breeze and rushed away.

 As a result, before it even dived to the ground, it hit a golden barrier.

Feng Yin covered his head with one hand and his chest that was pierced by Tang Wanzhuang's sword energy with the other. He looked up in shock. Yuan Cheng was holding a golden Buddha suspended in the void. The old monk was holding a huge Zen staff and was slashing his head. The ground knocked over: "Do you really think that Buddhism does not exist in this world!"

This old monk was lucky enough to say that Feng Yin sensed the aura of the Vajra Buddha and was so frightened that he took a detour and ran away.

Didn't this Buddha be said to have been deposed? Why does he seem to be recovering so quickly, his eyes are already moving...

Feng Yin, who was completely injured at this moment, how dared to entangle with Yu Jing, relying on his speed, he continued to flee in panic. The old monk Yuancheng raised his staff and chased him wildly. Feng Yin didn't dare to stop all the way and headed straight to the southwest.

Southwest Hunan is actually a place arranged by Jiuyou... I don't know if the other party can succeed. If I help myself, I can at least go to a relatively safe place to heal. If the old monk really comes after him, there are people here who can help carry him.

 The blind man smiled and raised two green and jade-like fingers: "Second."

It doesn't make sense to say that there are “people” in Southwest China, because they are not people.

Above the wilderness, the dark wind howls.

The vast corpse is advancing westward. Looking up, I don't know how wide it is.

The leader was an acquaintance. He had a very obvious arrow wound on his shoulder. It was still glowing with a faint golden light, which seemed to be constantly eroding the body and could not be erased no matter what.

 Those are the traces shot by the Dragon Soul Bow...Yin Kui once died under Zhao Changhe's arrow.

He himself became a corpse puppet, and no longer had the wisdom he once had. Only a little spiritual light was forcibly retained by Jiuyou, the **** of death. Now, as the leader of the Inferi, he has made a comeback, marching from the place in western Hunan where he was originally hiding, to visit the Miao territory again.

 Queen of Dali Xiang Simeng ruled the Miao territory not long ago... The Miao territory is very large. It is impossible for her to reach the eastern borderland in such a short time, and there is no need. Besides, it is said that she is still suppressing Bashu.

Once the army of Yin zombies suddenly comes eastward, the Miao territory will be in chaos. By then, Xiang Simeng will be captured alive and occupy the ancestral land of the Spirit Clan. Everyone still has a lot to accomplish there.

Yin Kui's eyes were flashing with phosphorus fire, and he still had the final obsession with death in his heart, revenge... he must tear those **** of the Spirit Clan to pieces...

He could already feel Xiang Simeng's pale face turning pale with fear when he suddenly saw such a large group of Inferi Legion.

 “Jie Jie…” Yin Kui smiled unconsciously.

 “Crash!” Birds in the surrounding dense forest flew away in fright.

“Whoosh whoosh!” Countless arrows flew out from the dense forest. The arrows were tempered with something unknown and emitted a faint blue light.

Yin Kui was not very clear-headed at the moment, and before he could react, the army of Inferi beside him were hit by arrows one after another, and they let out a low roar and fell to the ground.

The originally hard-as-iron body after being transformed into a corpse puppet seems to have no effect at all, and is more fragile than a mortal.

Yin Kui turned his head in shock. There were dense figures of people in the dense forest on the left and right, and there were faint roars of wild beasts, coming from all directions.

Looking carefully, there are jackals, tigers, leopards and all kinds of beasts. In the sky, eagles and falcons are circling and screaming. Huge blood turtles are stepping on the ground, and the ground is shaking.

 The elites of the Miao border are all here!

In his mind, Xiang Simeng, with pale face, short skirt and bare feet, stood quietly on Xue Ao's back, looking at him coldly. A bone dagger in his hand shone with a faint blue light in the moonlight.

Seeing Yin Kui turn his head, Sisi smiled sweetly: "I don't know whether you are hearing the conversation I'm having with you at this time, or Jiuyou... No matter who it is, it doesn't matter, I'll just say one thing."

“My master knows the difference between life and death, and has already made plans for us to restrain the Inferi. At this moment, you are nothing more than a plate of fish belly in our eyes.”

The single bet was good, but Jiuyou's face changed, thousands of miles away.

 The blind man smiled and held out three fingers: "Third."

In the eyes of the blind man at this moment, the mountains and rivers are all dotted lines, intertwined layer by layer, like a huge chessboard.

On this chessboard, the person who makes the move is not her, Ye Wuming... All the lines have an end point, and they all point to the Mongolian grassland at this time, where a light cavalry is riding a long horse.

That's Zhao Changhe.
