The Book of Troubled Times

Zhao Changhe, who had spilled the beans, closed his mouth tightly and turned his head to look at the surrounding snow scene without saying a word.

Ye Jiuyou squinted at him: "Does it look good?"

Zhao Changhe just didn't speak.

Ye Jiuyou grabbed his collar and said fiercely: "Aren't you very eloquent when talking? Are you mute?"

Zhao Changhe held his hands, tilted his head and said, "I just guessed."

"You guessed it? Youyin in this era has not raised any dark creatures at all, and you have never seen it. Guess!" Ye Jiuyou's energy exploded in his hand, and he hit Zhao Changhe's chest.

Zhao Changhe didn't dodge even though he was wrong, and took a solid hit.

Even though Ye Jiuyou didn't make any real move, the gap in physical strength was there, Zhao Changhe was still hit by this blow and his mouth bleeds, he groaned, but still didn't speak.

Ye Jiuyou asked, "Why don't you resist?"

Zhao Changhe asked back: "Why don't you kill me? For you, such a little strength...if I'm honest, it's no different from flirting."

Ye Jiuyou was furious: "You really think that because I want to cooperate with you to deal with Ye Wuming, I have nothing to fear, right?"

Zhao Changhe smiled: "Yes before, but I never thought about this attack."

Ye Jiuyou glared angrily, his chest heaving with anger.

Zhao Changhe glanced at him: "The devil who doesn't need to breathe is gasping for breath. I have to let you calm down, otherwise how can we cooperate."

"Let me calm down?" Ye Jiuyou sneered: "Okay, just dig out your own eyes."

Zhao Changhe said: "So how can you be debauched? You see, we are discussing such an important issue as the true self, don't get hung up on those details..."

Without waiting for Ye Jiuyou to reply, he quickly continued: "Did you know that I traced your origin and found that you were not the innate demon god who existed at the beginning of the world?"

Ye Jiuyou was stunned. Such a crucial topic instantly took away all her thoughts: "Impossible! I was born with the symbol of chaos and annihilation. How could this law be born after tomorrow? Besides, I don't have parents after tomorrow. , as long as I can remember, I have been coexisting with Ye Wuming and facing him."

"Is it possible that you are the evil corpse that Ye Wuming chopped off?"

"Impossible." Ye Jiuyou still said resolutely: "If this is the case, I will clearly know this situation, and the memory and cognition before Ye Wuming killed me is also shared by me, and I will know that I am Ye Wuming. "

Zhao Changhe frowned.

Ye Jiuyou asked curiously: "What exactly did you see?"

"As for the cause and effect of your birth, it's like there is a super power blocking the middle, it's a blur... Is it Wuming Ye? But I can see Wuming Ye fighting with you, which means I can't trace her. Why do you The birth of the child cannot be traced back at all? If Ye Wuming deliberately covered it up, why did he cover it up? Is this very ulterior? "

Ye Jiuyou suddenly stood up and paced back and forth.

It seems that what Zhao Changhe traced back this time cannot even be understood by Ye Jiuyou himself.

Zhao Changhe turned his head to look at her pacing back and forth, and couldn't help but said: "Hey, are you one of the top demon gods? Why do I feel that your knowledge of many secrets is ten times worse than your sister's? Eighteen thousand miles away."

Ye Jiuyou stopped and sneered: "Some secrets may not have much to do with practice, but more to do with status. Status can expand your horizons. As the emperor of heaven, Ye Wuming controls the four directions, four seasons and five elements of life and death. Of course, what he knows is far away. She is better than anything in the world. I cannot take away her position. I am only qualified to run Youyin, and my knowledge cannot be compared with hers."

Zhao Changhe said: "Can it be understood that even if you once set off a monstrous demon flame and did the most villainous thing, it was just to deal with her, and the opponent in her eyes may not be you."

Ye Jiuyou's willow eyebrows stood upright.

Zhao Changhe quickly continued: "Not at all... She cares about you very much. I have met many ancient demon gods. Only when Yin Kui appeared to represent that you were behind me, Ye Wuming's performance was particularly concerned. I have never seen her act like that. And only when you show up will she personally restrain you. Not even Sword Emperor and Lie do this."

Ye Jiuyou looked a little better: "The causal tracing you provided is of great value to my pursuit of truth. I think the effect after obtaining the Mirror of True Illusion is far less than expected. Maybe it is not necessarily because the treasure is fake, but because I may not have a clear idea of ​​where I came from, and there may be something wrong with my direction..."

Zhao Changhe said: "That's what I mean when I say this. The consumption just now was too great, and my soul can't hold on. If you are willing, these days can allow me to read more about the Book of Time and Space, and maybe I can gain more. .”

Ye Jiuyou grabbed his collar again: "You still want to see him take a shower, right?"

The topic that had finally been diverted came back again, and Zhao Changhe could only shut up.

This means that if Ye Jiuyou asks him to help check the cause and effect, it is equivalent to actively inviting him to come and watch him take a bath...so that Zhao Changhe doesn't know how to respond to such words at all, and he sounds like a coward.

Although seeing a bath is actually an accident, not every important cause and effect will see a bath, but who knows? Zhao Changhe thought back at this time and remembered that when he traced the cause and effect from the Qinghe Sword, he also saw Piao Miao taking a bath... At that time, he thought this was a dead demon god, so he didn't care. Now that it is related, what should I do?

What a bad fate this is!

Mainly, you female demons, can you stop doing important things in the shower just because you have nothing to do in the pool?

Zhao Changhe held it in for a long time before he managed to say: "Do you often do important things while taking a shower? For example, what tasks Chuanyin arranges, or killing people from thousands of miles away. If it's just occasionally, maybe it's okay...if it happens often... "

Ye Jiuyou also held it in for a long time before he could say two words: "Often."

Yes, it’s really because there is nothing to do in the pool, so I start doing things with the help of a flying sword that can transmit sounds thousands of miles away... It’s just like it’s too normal for modern people to always play with their mobile phones when they have nothing to do, so Piao Miao and Ye Jiu Youdu fell into the same pit.

Maybe there will be the same pitfalls if we look back to Ye Wuming.

The two looked at each other tensely for a long time before Ye Jiuyou said expressionlessly: "I don't need you to trace back, your fate with the Book of Time and Space ends here. As for the book you want to give me, now give me an extra page of cause and effect. I’ll see for myself.”

Zhao Changhe silently took out the cause and effect page and showed it to her together with the previous true fantasy page.

Ye Jiuyou stroked the two pages of the book and felt that he did not intend to grab them at the first moment. After all, at the level of Ye Jiuyou's cultivation, if you can come into contact with these two pages of the heavenly book, you will naturally be able to understand the relevant things. It doesn't matter whether you keep it for yourself or not. There is no need to have a conflict with Zhao Changhe.

However, it didn't take long for Ye Jiuyou's face to turn blue and white.

These two pages were as useless to her as straw paper. There was no need to think about it. This could only be because Ye Wuming was maliciously trying to prevent her from seeing it.

These pages on Zhao Changhe's body belong to Zhao Changhe in name, but actually belong to Ye Wuming. Therefore, Zhao Changhe has never been able to exert the true power of the Book of Heaven, which is confirmed again here. But Zhao Changhe is the holder after all, and he can get the most basic applications. Just as Ye Wuming cannot stop him from using it to clean his gun, Zhao Changhe can still use it for basic enlightenment teaching purposes.

If Ye Jiuyou also wants to gain enlightenment, he must take it from Zhao Changhe and make her the holder.

This is one of the basic conflicts between Zhao Changhe and Ye Jiuyou. Once they compete, the cooperation will inevitably collapse. Ye Wuming is simply confident and knows that they will never cooperate sincerely.

"What? It doesn't work?" Zhao Changhe looked at Ye Jiuyou's expression and asked carefully.

Ye Jiuyou resisted the idea of ​​grabbing the book directly and said calmly: "Ye Wuming is inciting you and me to fight. Since I know her thoughts, I will never follow her wishes no matter what I want."

Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment, then smiled brilliantly: "Isn't it very simple? If you want it, and I don't give it, there will be a fight. But what if I give it to you directly? Why fight?"

After saying that, he threw away both pages without caring.

Ye Jiuyou continued the next two pages, extremely shocked: "You..."

"I have never been greedy for possession of the Heavenly Book. The Heavenly Book may not be a good thing for me...I said that I would not give it to you just because I don't want to help the tyrants do harm and create a disaster. But now that I have agreed to let you understand these two things, Page, I have to let you achieve this goal, and cooperation must look like cooperation. Not to mention..."

"What?"

"You are worthy of our cooperation if you can resist taking the book. Then I can't let you down."

Ye Jiuyou felt something strange in his heart, so he remained silent and realized it directly.

After a moment, he shook his head: "It's useless. These pages have been completely occupied by Ye Wuming. Even if they are thrown into an alien space, they will only belong to Ye Wuming... She will not leave such an easy loophole."

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, seeming to be torn between keeping it in his arms and returning it to Zhao Changhe, and finally returned it: "Take it back, there might be something wrong with it if you leave it here."

"Oh." Zhao Changhe was not polite and took the ring back naturally.

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and both of them felt that something had changed in their relationship, but they couldn't explain it.

Perhaps Ye Jiuyou has never thought about sharing treasures with anyone so naturally, as if what's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours. It doesn't matter who holds it when you throw it around...

Although this treasure has become useless because of Wuming Ye's interference, it may not be possible to replace it with a usable one. But Ye Jiuyou admitted that this feeling was very special.

The partnership has withstood the initial test, to say the least. For a demon god who is known for his chaos, this is actually a bit unbelievable.

Ye Jiuyou knew that she could not trust anyone, and no one had ever trusted her. This kind of experience of "you are worthy of me, and I cannot let you down" has never happened in the past two epochs.

But in fact...she knew that her cooperation was not very sincere.

She still wants to kill Zhao Changhe, and she will kill him after the cooperation is over. Otherwise, sooner or later, the cause and effect of the engagement will cause trouble. Now there are more and more causes and effects, and even the body has been seen. There can be no more...

Is it really worthy?

"Since...you can't use it..." Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Do you need me to continue?"

It was another question similar to "Will you let me watch you take a bath?" Ye Jiuyou's mind was in a mess at this time. He really didn't want to dwell on this, so he waved his hands and said, "Let's talk about it later. Let's discuss in detail how to proceed with this cooperation." .”

Zhao Changhe nodded: "What do you think? First of all, I would like to remind you that if Ye Wuming can spy on us, it may not be through the Heavenly Book. Even if the Heavenly Book is left elsewhere and we secretly discuss it ourselves, it may still be a conspiracy in front of her. .”

Ye Jiuyou said: "I can isolate, but she can't silently penetrate my isolation and spy on me."

Zhao Changhe said seriously: "I suggest you not think so. Ye Wuming's methods after joining the Heavenly Book may exceed your previous knowledge of her."

She doesn't just have a book on me, she may even have her eyes on me.

Zhao Changhe did not say this directly. So far, he and the blind man have not discussed this topic. He is not sure whether she knows that she has guessed this... Xia Longyuan once reminded her to learn the Wang family's exercises to eliminate foreign bodies, and she has been practicing silently. Not sure if the blind man knew. Anyway, don’t expose it if you can.

Ye Jiuyou didn't care: "Then just plot in person. Anyway, you are not enough to pose a big threat to Ye Wuming at the moment. You still need to make progress. Even if she hears it, she can't stop your progress unless she is killed in advance. you……"

At this point, he smiled half-heartedly: "I don't know if she is willing to let it go."

Zhao Changhe tilted his head: "There is no unwillingness to let go, only whether it is the right time."

Seeing his arrogant look, Ye Jiuyou wanted to laugh a little, but still said: "If you still want to improve, I suggest you go somewhere. Of course, it will be useful to me too."

"where?"

"The Demon Realm is where Bo Xun is." Ye Jiuyou said leisurely: "I still suspect that there is something wrong with the True Illusion Mirror he gave me. I need the real thing. And he has a cause and effect with you, and you also need to end this matter. This This is the first formal cooperation between you and me, what do you think?"

Zhao Changhe wondered: "Speaking of this, since you were able to steal the mirror back then, why couldn't you kill him directly? His clone was exploded by me at that time, so he must have been seriously injured."

"Just as Ye Wuming can't kill me and Piaomiao, I may not be able to kill the demon in people's hearts like Bo Xun. As long as the world is still here, he will be there. This is the established law of heaven. To say the least, even if I can kill, It's just that I absorbed the meaning of Bo Xun, and I became Bo Xun... I don't want to do this kind of thing, I don't even understand my own true self, and it's just one more worry, which is harmful rather than helpful."

Zhao Changhe nodded to express his understanding.

Not to mention Ye Jiuyou's confusion, she could handle this kind of thing very well. Not everyone can resist the temptation of "absorbing waves". Only those who clearly know what they want to do can achieve such a cultivation achievement that even Ye Wuming is afraid of.

Ye Jiuyou said again: "Otherwise, why would Ye Wuming introduce someone like you from outside the world? Only in this way can we transcend the established rules of heaven. Without you, Yuxu and others would not have been able to fight against Dao Zun without you, no matter how much they resisted. Any role - similarly, this is also the value of my cooperation with you."

Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment and said slowly: "You want me to kill Ye Wuming?"

"Of course." Ye Jiuyou suddenly smiled: "Oh, yes, you don't seem to want to kill her, but..."

Zhao Changhe interrupted: "I don't know. Let's talk about Bo Xun first."

"Okay." Ye Jiuyou actually stopped teasing and said seriously: "It turns out that Bo Xun and I used to cooperate... You destroyed my subordinate Anni Yinkui and others and the Tianbang assassin Xue Xiao Regarding cooperation, I haven’t settled the matter with you yet. That Snow Owl is not mine, but belongs to Bo Xun, but at the time I wanted something different from Bo Xun.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Changhe couldn't help but glance at Ye Jiuyou again. This person is really not a peaceful person. She wants to revive the land of the Spirit Clan. The so-called different requirements, Bo Xunxue Xiao's side should be looking for the Immortal God Axe. Ye Jiuyou should not be interested in this thing, and he is just helping his allies to get it.

According to the current relationship, it is not the time to ask about such a big thing as the land of the spirit clan. If you ask Jiuyou, he will not tell... Fortunately, it did not cause any harm to the spirit clan, otherwise the current cooperation would not be possible. Even so, Sisi must be very dissatisfied with Jiuyou, let's talk about this later.

"Snow Owl uses sword energy to raise fish. Is this derived from Bo Xun's inner demon?"

"It's almost the same. Don't ask me why a swordsman would do such a thing, I'm not interested in knowing." Ye Jiuyou said leisurely: "I only know where Bo Xun's Demon Realm is, and he is also called Zizi Tian. It’s very dangerous, do you dare to go?”

"You mean, you want me to go alone?"

"If I or Piaomiao follow you in, or wait for your wives to come and swarm us, what value will it have for you?" Ye Jiuyou's expression became a little cold: "So of course you go alone, if you die Inside, cooperation will naturally end, and you are not worthy."

Zhao Changhe turned his head and looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, you are a little conflicted in your heart? You really want me to die, so that the matter of you being exposed will disappear with the wind."

Ye Jiuyou's eyebrows stood up, and when he was about to say something, Zhao Changhe cut him off directly: "I'm quite happy to go by myself...and since Snow Owl is related to Bo Xun, I will go even more, because it may be related to a certain person. My long lost friend, I must go.”

What Ye Jiuyou wanted to say was blocked, and he said coldly: "Why don't you go then, what are you talking about here?"

Zhao Changhe said calmly: "But before that, I still need to think about the Book of Time and Space for a few more days... I just briefly read it for a while, and I saw some stories, but I didn't understand my practice enough, so it was in vain... If you don’t want to trace your cause and effect and don’t want me to touch this page, then you can let Piaomiao hold this page.”

"Why should I give it to Piaomiao? Besides, I also need to trace my cause and effect."

"...Then you have to endure it and be looked at by me a few more times."

The night is dark and dull.

A distant voice came from the distance: "What can you give me? What are you looking at?"

Ye Jiuyou twitched the corner of his mouth and his voice became amiable: "Piaomiao, do you want the Book of Heaven? How about I hold it for you for a while?"

Misty came: "When did you become so kind?"

Ye Jiuyou said: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no trap. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Zhao Changhe, right?"

Piaomiao looked at Zhao Changhe, her eyes still a little embarrassed, but she did trust Zhao Changhe in terms of his character. I don't know how to deal with Zhao Changhe after what happened last night, so starting from something as serious as the Book of Heaven might be a way to eliminate the embarrassment.

So he asked: "Is she serious?"

Zhao Changhe could only say: "It's true."

In fact, Piaomiao has already seen it...it's nothing...

Piaomiao nodded: "Since King Zhao is the guarantee, it's natural. I also want to read the Book of Heaven."

Ye Jiuyou took out the Book of Heaven and showed a smile that was not worried about the scarcity but the inequality.
