The Book of Troubled Times

In Liuke Peak, Zhao Changhe stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the mist around him. He felt the rich spiritual energy here, which seemed to be stronger than Ye Wuming's Night Palace.

Including the Jade Dew Wine he just drank, it was also very beneficial to his practice, which made his other shore more consolidated.

It is worthy of being the top "forbidden land" in the main universe, the place where the emperor of the other shore practices.

The divine sense faintly sensed that although the mountain protection formation was temporarily destroyed, there was still endless murderous intent everywhere. There were quite a few places that gave people a sense of fear when they scanned them, and it was definitely not peaceful on the surface.

The dead wood emperor was not a simple thing that he looked like he was really defeated by one move... He practiced differently, so he didn't take out the magic weapon at the first time. If he took the initiative, it would be hard to say who would win or lose.

"Do you really think this emperor can cooperate?" Ye Jiuyou stood beside him and observed for a long time, and asked softly.

"There is a basis for cooperation, but the basis for trust still needs to be worked out." Zhao Changhe whispered, "Today, we have demonstrated, given gifts, and explained things to him. We have done everything we should do. It depends on what kind of person he is."

Ye Jiuyou said, "If it were me, I would not choose to cooperate. No matter what kind of person he is, he is an emperor who controls the galaxy, not a hermit who lives in a fairy mountain. The heart of an emperor is unpredictable, and there are many ghosts hidden in him. He is not a good partner... In my opinion, we just talked and figured out the situation here, so we can actually leave. There is no point in staying overnight."

Zhao Changhe said, "Even if he is a hermit, you would not choose to cooperate. Although your temperament is different from before, your roots have not changed. How can you trust outsiders... I think you are willing to sit here and talk and drink with people, which is already a great honor."

Ye Jiuyou said with a smile, "Willing to talk and drink is not to give him face. First, because I also want to figure out the situation here, and second, I like to hear him talk about a virtuous couple."

Zhao Changhe laughed but did not answer.

Ye Jiuyou said, "Do you still want to cooperate?"

"Wanxiang Star Region is someone else's home turf. If we rashly fight a life-and-death battle with a strong man of the other shore level here without the help of the local snake, there will be too many variables, so many that it is difficult to even deduce the outcome." Zhao Changhe said, "Originally, Ye Wuming should have done this earlier, but she has concerns and is unwilling to easily introduce outsiders. I understand... She doesn't even trust me, so how can she cooperate with outsiders casually? But I think I can give it a try."

Ye Jiuyou is the same as Ye Wuming in this regard. She doesn't want to have anything to do with outsiders, and she is afraid of causing more trouble and covetousness to her own world. But she also knows that Luochuan didn't jump out of the cracks of the stone, and she already has a foundation. Having a foundation means that as long as you walk out of the bottom of the well, there will always be outsiders. It is wishful thinking to want both parties to solve their grievances behind closed doors.

If you want to eliminate future troubles, you must consider the overall situation. Zhao Changhe's idea is right.

"The Emperor of Deadwood staying with you and me is the first wait-and-see game based on mutual trust." Zhao Changhe smiled: "As long as we are willing and dare to stay, this is a beginning in itself."

Ye Jiuyou knew this truth: "This is his wait-and-see game. What about you and me? Just staying here for one night, can we judge whether he will have any changes in the cooperation?"

Zhao Changhe smiled and pinched her face: "This is just the beginning, why rush. I now doubt how you got through thousands of years before."

"I don't know how I got through before now." Ye Jiuyou smiled Pouting slightly: "You have destroyed my heart, you have to compensate me."

"Okay, okay, how do I compensate you?"

Ye Jiuyou's eyes rolled around, and he sighed a little: "I can't be intimate with others watching me, it's so uncomfortable."

"..." Zhao Changhe was speechless: "Now you are more lustful than me."

Ye Jiuyou smiled and took his arm: "My man is not tired, what are you afraid of?"

"Madam, please sit down, I will give you some entertainment." Zhao Changhe picked her up and put her in the pavilion on the mountainside. Then he turned his palm and a guqin appeared on the stone table in the pavilion.

Not long after, the sound of the guqin sounded.

Ye Jiuyou sat aside and looked at Zhao Changhe playing the guqin for her entertainment, her eyes became more gentle.

For Ye Jiuyou's temperament, she has always been a little cautious and uneasy when it comes to outsiders. In the leisurely sound of the guqin, that uneasiness gradually faded and smoothed, and her heart gradually became peaceful.

He was using fresh music to soothe her mood and also to provide her with entertainment in this long night when she couldn't do anything.

I used to wonder if he would no longer cherish her after getting her, and if he would not spoil her as much as he did when he wanted to woo her... As it turned out, except for the fact that there were too many people making it difficult for him to divide his time, everything else was still impeccable, and he was even more gentle.

Because the older a man gets, the more he knows how to love others...

He is no longer a little man now... He is a top-notch expert who is even on par with others in cultivation.

Unconsciously, Ye Jiuyou even forgot the environment he was in, and his heart and eyes were full of his lover.

In the distant mountain, the withered tree emperor stood quietly with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountaintops in the distance. Zhao Changhe played the piano for as long as he listened.

Until the sound of the piano stopped, Emperor Ku Mu sighed softly: "It's been a long time since I heard someone play the piano... What do you think of his piano skills?"

A subordinate stood quietly behind him all the time. After hearing Emperor Ku Mu's question, he answered in a low voice: "It's a mortal piano skill, without the blessing of immortals... But after practicing to this point, there is no possibility of any shortcomings in the technique, which can be considered perfect."

"You know that's not what I'm asking."

"In terms of meaning, he has a broad mind, but many ties, and is a man of affection. There are quite a few sounds of killing, and there is a lot of blood on his hands."

"Is it contradictory?"

"No, how can a man who loves his son not be a man."

"Can it be faked?"

"This is not a skill of the immortal way, I'm afraid it's hard to fake in front of you and me."

"What is your ambition?"

"Somewhat."

The withered wood emperor looked at the hill over there. Zhao Changhe had stopped playing the piano and was playing chess with Ye Jiuyou to pass the time... Then he saw two bad chess players.

The withered wood emperor looked at it for a while and laughed: "The planners, with the chess skills of this child, the husband and wife are both, they are not from the same family."

The subordinates were also laughing.

For their long lives, even if they were not specialized in this aspect of the immortal way, as a small skill for entertainment, they were all at the pinnacle. After all, their computing power was different. It was rare to see such a poor level of practitioners.

It can only be said that these two were really just for fun and didn't care at all.

Emperor Ku Mu turned and left: "Okay, stop staring at the guests, it's too rude. Those beauties that were prepared before, take them away, I don't think it's necessary."

The subordinates laughed behind him: "I think if we give him a few in private, he might like them."

"His wife is not weaker than him at all, maybe she is more mature. Don't provoke the Hedong Lion Roar in the family of your allies, it's a great sin."

"Ally?"

"If they are not here for conspiracy, then it's fine. As for what happens next... who knows?"

…………

The next day, Emperor Ku Mu came on a cloud and hung on the edge of Zhao Changhe's pavilion, with a strange look on his face.

Zhao Changhe was leaning against the pavilion pillar, drinking leisurely, while his wife was lazily resting her head on his thighs, covered with his coat, sleeping like a crabapple in spring.

After practicing to this point, it's okay to play chess badly, but he actually has to sleep... Emperor Ku Mu was powerless to complain.

Emperor Ku Mu didn't know whether he should speak or not because he was sleeping so well. Wouldn't it be rude to wake someone up if he spoke?

But Zhao Changhe made a "hush" gesture to him and said in his mind: "Emperor, please talk in your mind."

Are you really afraid of waking up your wife... Emperor Ku Mu was full of complaints, and he really used his mind to say: "Your wife needs sleep?"

Zhao Changhe said: "She just likes the feeling of sleeping on me."

Emperor Ku Mu said meaningfully: "Because you are by my side, I can sleep peacefully no matter where I am?"

Zhao Changhe smiled: "Emperor knows a lot, it seems there is a story... Well, if you have nothing to do, how about playing chess?"

Emperor Ku Mu had a blank expression: "I believe that you will not like to compete with children."

"That's wrong, I even bully my own children."

Emperor Ku Mu really thinks this guy is a wonderful person, and laughed: "If you don't like chess, why do you carry chess with you?"

Zhao Changhe said: "No way, I have many wives, and some people like them."

Emperor Ku Mu: "..."

It's not that you carry chess with you, but you carry a world with you, and you can take out whatever you want. You can also take out a daughter to call uncle, do you want it?

Speaking of playing the piano and chess with Ye Jiuyou last night, the women were watching in their arms, their mouths were pouting so much that they could hang oil bottles, especially Wanzhuang, whose face was dark now.

Her favorite life was experienced by Ye Jiuyou, who didn't like it at all, and she felt a sense of resentment that the flowers she raised at home were stuck in cow dung.

In fact, although they don't have the strength to break through the realm, they can be brought out to play as long as someone takes them. It's just that it's difficult to determine the enemy in a foreign land, and Zhao Changhe is not easy to take. Taking Ye Jiuyou with him is more of a deterrent. The deterrent power of the couple on the other side is not a joke. If Ye Wuming hadn't been subdued now, Zhao Changhe would rather take the other side sisters, that would be a show...

But now Tang Wanzhuang suspects that Ye Jiuyou maliciously didn't let her take him, just to dominate men, and she has a criminal record for this.

Zhao Changhe was thinking about when to take Wanzhuang and the others out to play, and asked, "What do you think today, Emperor?"

Ku Mu Emperor calmed down and said with a smile, "Yesterday I said that I would travel with you, how about that?"

Zhao Changhe said, "The star field is known as the universe, so there must be many kinds of heaven and earth... If it were a normal day, I would be interested in sightseeing, but now I am not interested."

Ku Mu Emperor smiled and said, "If understanding the various places in the star field is a prerequisite for our cooperation?"

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "What do you mean by that?"

"Because if you don't understand the peculiarities of the star field, you may suffer when facing the advantage of Luochuan's home field."

Having said this, the cooperation has basically been established.

This time Zhao Changhe was puzzled: "The Emperor made a decision in just one night?"

The Withered Wood Emperor smiled slightly: "Sometimes, you only need to look at someone."

While speaking, Ye Jiuyou opened his eyes sleepily, and immediately noticed that there seemed to be an outsider beside him. His eyes were instantly sharp, and a terrifying murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and the world instantly became cold.

Soon she found herself still lying on her husband's lap, and her husband was talking to someone. The murderous intent quickly disappeared, and she turned into a lazy kitten again, leaning on her legs and being too lazy to get up.

The Withered Wood Emperor was fortunate to witness the process of how a peerless demon turned into a kitten. Even with his practice, he still felt a little scared by the coldness just now. Zhao Changhe asked helplessly: "How about this one look?"

The Withered Wood Emperor laughed dumbly: "At least it's more certain that the two of you do have the confidence to deal with Luochuan."

Zhao Changhe picked up his wife, rubbed her face as if to help her wake up, and smiled: "Get up, the emperor of the other shore level is our tour guide, this treatment is not often available."

When it comes to traveling in the universe, Zhao Changhe previously felt that one step was only tens of thousands of miles away, and he would be overtaken by others at every step. In addition to not being able to match his physical strength at the time, the main reason was because he was not used to being in the environment of the universe. You really have to get used to it. By the time you escape from the planet, your speed will be much higher than the initial speed.

And at that time, I was afraid that the space would be shattered, so I didn't dare to use the space to fold and shuttle, and I just relied on speed to escape. If he ran by folding space, Wuming Ye would have been able to reach the earth directly many years ago... Distance has long lost its meaning, and what is needed is positioning ability.

Today, Zhao Changhe is already very accustomed to the cosmic environment. Even without relying on space ability, just flying, following the dead wood emperor, he has not fallen behind at all, and it is very easy to follow.

Even more relaxed is Ye Jiuyou.

Emperor Kumu was shocked to find that he could not even feel the trajectory of this woman's flight, as if wherever the darkness was ahead, she would naturally go there.

Emperor Kumu sometimes felt that the wife of fellow Daoist Zhao did not exist, and that all the universe was an illusion of hers.

He also made some judgments in his mind... This couple may have come from a secondary plane. This initial taste of chaos and darkness cannot be obtained in the main world... Just like in the mortal world, it is difficult to get from staying in a temple all your life. It is the same as the experience gained from grassroots experience. Experiencing the birth and death of a world and breaking out of the cocoon are often important components of the road to the great road.

But it’s hard to find a plane that can form its own world, or it’s too small, and its status is too low. Just like the experience of a township chief is of little value to being a prime minister, you have to be a state or county at least... The one with the right status The secondary plane is really hard to come by. Therefore, there will be many people who want to search for the lost cave. It is said that it is also a world of high status.

Thinking of this, Emperor Kumu suddenly stopped and said: "Fellow Taoist, please stay here. Going forward is a dangerous place."

Zhao Changhe and Ye Jiuyou stopped together and explored their spiritual thoughts. There seemed to be a terrifying black hole far ahead, and the surrounding area was extinguished for countless light years, filled with chaos and dead silence.

The place where the three of them stopped was right at the edge of the black hole's suction. If they went a little further, they would touch it. If you don't investigate carefully and suddenly enter this kind of environment, I'm afraid something will go wrong without anyone having to deal with it.

"This is one of the countless dangerous places in the Star Territory. Although we can resist, it will still be very dangerous if we enter without knowing it. It is best to be prepared." Emperor Kumu glanced at Ye Jiuyou, if there is any Pointed to: "In addition, for relevant practitioners, dangerous places are also created by nature."

Ye Jiuyou stared ahead in trance. Although he had seen similar things in Zhao Changhe's simulated universe scene, and his own magical powers were moving closer to this direction intentionally or unintentionally, this was the first time he had witnessed and experienced such power with his own eyes.

The annihilation here is the annihilation within a realm.

No wonder Zhao Changhe used to laugh at his own chaos and annihilation as not worth mentioning, and the chaos in China was just a family trick.

"How is this place?" Emperor Kumu asked with a smile.

Zhao Changhe answered for his wife: "The scenery is unique."

Emperor Kumu said: "When you and I talk about cooperation, we have not established trust, and there is nothing to restrain and guarantee it. Although this is not my thing, if it is a bit of sincerity from me, does it count?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Forget it. What does the emperor want?"

Emperor Kumu said: "I will lead my Taoist friends to see this destruction. If my Taoist friends can lead me to see their lives, you and I will cooperate."

This means that he clearly wants to see the world where this couple lives.

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "Maybe we can change the plan."

"Fellow Taoist, please tell me."

"The emperor said before that there was a lost cave, but you can't find it?"

"good."

"If the emperor can help us accomplish what we need, then I will take the emperor to see that cave. Do you want to see him alive?"

Emperor Kumu's eyes flashed with light: "Deal."

Zhao Changhe smiled and nodded: "Then please go back first, Emperor. I will come back to find you later."

Emperor Kumu was stunned: "You won't go back with me?"

Zhao Changhe looked at Ye Jiuyou who was beside him and said with a smile, "Because we want to take a look inside."

Emperor Kumu: "...For practice?"

"Yes, for practice." Zhao Changhe smiled brilliantly: "The emperor himself said that dangerous places are also created by nature."

I am referring to peripheral perceptions. I think you mean to break into the core... Emperor Kumu secretly thought that these are a pair of lunatics. For the sake of the cave he was about to obtain, he still advised him: "It might be okay in normal times... Now that there is a big war... It’s time for you two not to venture into danger.”

"I can't help it, my wife is obsessed with it." Zhao Changhe smiled: "As long as she wants to go, I will accompany her to the mountains of swords and seas of fire."
