The Book of Troubled Times

It took more than a day to reach the so-called holy mountain from the stockade where Zhao Changhe and the others fell into the secret realm.

They set off in the afternoon, rested in the carriage for most of the night, and arrived in the evening of the next day.

The young couple's condition did not recover very well, so they did not urge the coachman to hurry, and recovered in the carriage without haste, and went down to eat in the places where the villages lived together.

In the end, it was slightly estimated that the journey was about 300 miles.

From this, we can get a glimpse of the enormity of this secret realm. Calculated according to the fact that the village is the edge and the holy mountain is the middle, the radius of this secret realm is three hundred miles.

If you calculate a little more, assuming that the village is not the edge, but rather the center itself, then this secret realm should be more than a thousand miles long, and it is extremely huge.

Sure enough, it is a large-scale group book, and the secret realm of this level cannot be protected without the heavenly book.

But if the Spirit Race had the Heavenly Book, how could they be bullied like this... It can only prove that the Heavenly Book is actually in the so-called forbidden area...

It's a little troublesome.

The blind man put everyone here, the intention should be to give a buffer, if you throw them directly into the holy mountain, you may not be able to speak clearly with a hundred mouths. Now that they sent letters back from the surrounding areas, the Elders of the Spirit Race received the report and preconceived that the messenger had come, but they never even had any doubts.

When they arrived at the holy mountain, they saw a vast crowd kneeling outside, and the head of the old man touched his forehead to the ground: "Welcome to the holy envoy."

So the mountain shouted at the tsunami: "Welcome to the holy envoy."

Yue Hongling opened her mouth, the poor heroine had never seen such a battle before, she was so embarrassed and embarrassing, her first reaction was to shout everyone to get up.

Zhao Changhe held her hand and squeezed it lightly.

Yue Hongling didn't say a word, watching Zhao Changhe walking back and forth in front of the old man with his hands behind his back, he didn't make a sound for a long time.

A group of people did not dare to lift their heads, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Zhao Changhe finally stopped in front of the leader of the old man, and said coldly: "I think this envoy is not as good as the previous practice, so I don't need to be too respectful?"

The old man hurriedly said: "Why did the envoy say that? Is it disrespectful from the cottage before? The old man immediately asked people to..."

Zhao Changhe interrupted coldly: "This envoy is talking about you!"

Yue Hongling remained expressionless, watching Zhao Changhe perform there.

She knew what Zhao Changhe meant, to show the domineering and deceiving emissary, the more domineering the more it seemed real. As for claiming that he didn't respect him before, and didn't say what the problem was, and let people think for themselves, it was because he didn't know what the problem was. Anyway, the other party would think about it for himself, and he would find the problem for himself.

Yue Hongling suddenly knew what Tang Wanzhuang was thinking...he had that kind of potential.

Sure enough, the old man sweated and thought for a long time, and kowtowed himself: "The lanterns for the envoy are not as spectacular as before. That's because the trees here have been cut down... Uh, there is no reason. Please punish the envoy."

Yue Hongling looked at the lantern silk around her and sighed.

Zhao Changhe didn't expect that the other party would come up with such a reason, and he was really a little bit dumbfounded. It seems that the specifications are exactly the same. This is strange, he originally thought that when the Domineering Envoy came here, the Spirit Race should have stuffed some treasures, this kind of trickery was tantamount to asking for bribes, but the other party thought for a long time and didn't think of the treasures in the fortress, it seems that there is no such precedent at all .

Is the envoy from this forbidden place actually very clean? It's hilarious.

He said lightly: "Forget it, so as not to say that we are domineering."

"Don't dare, dare not..."

"Ten slaps on the mouth by myself, and slaps are not an example."

"Thank you for the grace of the Holy Messenger." The old man was so overjoyed that he actually pulled his mouth hard.

Zhao Changhe walked through the kneeling ground with his hands behind his back as if he didn't see anything: "We two don't like to make noise, so let's break up, and the party and the like have also been withdrawn, and I will give it to you for your own use. Let us take a bath and clean up before we talk about it."

"Yes, it has already been prepared, the envoy please follow me."

Although people were scattered, no one dared to leave, and they all knelt there. The old man led the two of them to the back of the mountain, and said with an apologetic smile, "Please come to the Holy Envoy."

Zhao Changhe followed without saying a word, and after a while, he came to a quiet courtyard of bamboo buildings, and he didn't feel tense when he saw it.

It seems that there are two bamboo buildings standing side by side in a courtyard, and there is a row of green bamboos in the middle to divide the courtyard into two halves, which can be treated as one courtyard or divided into two. If you look carefully, you can find that this is two courtyards, and the fence in the middle has been removed and temporarily planted with green bamboo to separate them.

It can be seen that the Spirit Race took great pains to entertain this "male and female holy envoy". You don't know if they are a couple, and you dare not ask, and you dare not arrange them together rashly. But if it's really a couple, and it's not clear whether it will offend people when they are separated, and it just happens like this, you can explain it in any way.

It's so hard being a slave.

It can be seen from this that the previous envoys should have come with several entourages. The master and slaves are very clear, and how to receive them is relatively clear. There is no such a pair. But here comes the question, if an envoy comes over, will he ask you for a woman to serve him?

You don't arrange for a maid to serve, is it because the envoy never asks for it, or is it because this time the envoy is a couple and you dare not arrange it?

It makes sense not to dare to arrange it, but it would be strange if the messenger didn't want it. It's fine if you don't ask for bribes, don't you want women? Is the forbidden place still a Buddhist holy place?

These thoughts flashed through Zhao Changhe's mind, and he deliberately said: "Find some beauties, and serve the envoy to take a bath."

Yue Hongling glanced at him, guessing that he was probing, so she didn't speak.

The old man also took a look at Yue Hongling, seeing that she was completely unresponsive, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and thought to himself, this is just a try, these two are not a couple. Hmm... Although the previous envoys did not ask for women, each envoy is different, and it is normal to want one.

He bowed immediately: "It's ready, the envoy is waiting."

Zhao Changhe yawned and waved his hands: "Go."

The old man saluted and retreated, but the maid hadn't arrived yet, and the bamboo garden was quiet. Yue Hongling folded her arms with a half-smile: "I see that you are struggling a bit, why don't you just call their saintess to take care of you?"

"Among the people kneeling outside just now, there was no Sisi. It should be something important outside, so Sisi didn't come in."

"So you really want to!"

"Hey, shit..." Zhao Changhe clutched the soft flesh on his waist, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "My sister Yue, don't you know what I'm doing..."

"Hmph." Yue Hongling naturally knew, but she also believed in Zhao Changhe that he would not act recklessly.

Zhao Changhe said in a low voice: "The people who greeted you just now, have you noticed that there are many middle-aged and old people, but not so many young people? It stands to reason that there is no one in the mountains who dare not come to greet the holy envoy of the forbidden area, and they should all be here. The age ratio is wrong."

Yue Hongling said: "The same situation happened in those villages before...Maybe Sisi took it out?"

"How much did Sisi bring out, can it have such a big impact?"

While the two were discussing, they caught a glimpse of a group of little maids walking in out of the corner of their eyes, so they stopped talking.

Each of the maids held a small bucket of hot water in their hands, as if they were about to refill the tub. When they reached the two of them, the maids looked at each other carefully, as if they had been assigned a long time ago, and the first team arrived at the bamboo building by Yue Hongling , a group of obviously prettier girls lowered their heads shyly and went to Zhao Changhe.

Yue Hongling gritted her teeth: "They're not Sisi...you dare to take advantage of the opportunity to bully them, it's up to you."

After speaking, he flicked his ponytail and went into the bamboo building over there.

Looking at her back, Zhao Changhe was annoyed and amused, as you mean, Sisi is fine?

He leisurely entered the bamboo building, the water in the tub had been filled, and the maids in light clothes were standing aside with their heads bowed, their faces were ashamed to the neck.

Zhao Changhe said indifferently: "They didn't want it before? It surprised me..."

The maids looked at each other, and said boldly: "The envoys never wanted these before..."

What Zhao Changhe wanted to ask was why the forbidden land came here and what it wanted. Otherwise, if you don’t know such important things, you won’t be able to pretend later... Avoid the old man’s welcome dinner, and come here to take a shower first, just to find some friends first. A little girl who doesn't know the world's affairs.

Hearing the words, he continued to test: "They are diligent and dedicated, so they really just take it and leave?"

The maid bit her lower lip: "Anyway, I'm taking someone away, maybe they only use it when they're on the road..."

Zhao Changhe's brain exploded, and he suddenly understood.

What the forbidden land wants is people! It might be boys and girls, no wonder the age ratio here is not right.

Judging from the nature of the spirit race, and the resurrection of those gods and demons that I know, it is very likely that it is a sacrifice of flesh and blood. Those who have gone claim to serve the gods, but they will never return coming!

Of course the envoys didn't dare to play around, no matter what they took away, theoretically everyone here is the food of a certain god and demon, God knows what he is doing, does the god and demon know? Of course, I dare not touch it indiscriminately.

These little girls who are ignorant of the world don't know that a few brave ones may still have the intention of seducing the envoy to become a phoenix, and they don't know that what greets them is the point of no return...

But it is impossible for the high-level executives not to know, but they still donate their own flesh and blood every year to feed the unknown demon god!

Sisi must have known, or vaguely guessed, her resistance was particularly fierce.

Zhao Changhe took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Since they are all like this, then I won't break the rules. You all go down, and I will wash it myself."

Some of the maids heaved a sigh of relief, while others showed disappointment, but they didn't dare to disobey, and retreated obediently: "The envoy rest in peace, and call us anytime."

After they all retreated, Zhao Changhe undressed and entered the bucket, thinking about things while taking a bath.

Fortunately, the corpse demon can't see what's going on outside in the ring, otherwise if it finds out, it might have gone berserk.

This matter is indeed a bit troublesome... But with the corpse demon, it should be operable, so we need to plan it. It would be best for Sisi to come and discuss with Sisi how to do this matter, relying on himself and Yue Hongling here, the status is very embarrassing, and I don't know how to handle it properly.

Just thinking about it, Longque trembled slightly.

Murder alert.

With a thought in Zhao Changhe's mind, he saw the bamboo forest swaying outside the window behind him, and a beautiful figure was hidden in the bamboo shade under the moon, holding the dagger upside down, and his eyes were fixed on the window, looking for an opportunity to assassinate.

Sisi is here...

The first thing to come is to assassinate the messenger.

Killing the envoy may force the whole clan to rebel.

Zhao Changhe almost laughed out loud, the servant girl followed the master, and their brain circuits were so similar... Maybe she was learning the master's story?

No, the first thing she did when she came out of the mountain was to steal the door, so she planted her plan for today.

Zhao Changhe pretended to lean on the tub, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and even snored faintly.

"Whoosh!"

The fragrant wind blew past, and a shadow, like wind and fog, flashed behind the tub.

Zhao Changhe turned sideways slightly, grabbed her wrist with one hand, dragged her around, and with a "bang", the little girl fell into the bucket again.

"How many times has this happened." Zhao Changhe picked her up with a smile: "Do you think your fate is destined to take a bath with the master?"

Sisi's resentment froze on her face, and soon turned into an expression of extreme surprise: "Why is it you?"

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "This is destined by the heavens."

"Ouch..." In an unknown space, a blind man vomited all over the floor.

Ke Sisi's peach blossom eyes are shining brightly, she really thinks this is destined by the heaven.
