The Book of Troubled Times

It was bright day, and the dogs and men in the house came out of the house refreshed, and they all managed to return to the way they were the guardians of yesterday or so.

Walking out of the courtyard, I saw several little girls kneeling by the wall in a row, holding their heads in their hands, sniffing their noses pitifully.

Zhao Changhe was amused: "What are you doing?"

The little girls muttered: "Bring you food."

Zhao Changhe also noticed that they all had a small basket on their heads, with all kinds of cakes on it.

"Be polite, be polite." Zhao Changhe cheerfully took a piece of cake, and handed it to Yue Hongling behind him: "Our meal delivery etiquette is so cute..."

"Who said this is etiquette?" The little girls whimpered: "We were punished here by the saint...she avenged herself."

Yue Hongling glared at Zhao Changhe, talking nonsense about "our etiquette" as if you understand it very well, but luckily the little girls don't have much scheming, otherwise this sentence would be exposed.

Zhao Changhe bowed his head and ate the cake in embarrassment and remained silent.

As a result, I just took a bite and almost didn't spit it out.

I thought it was a famous local flower cake, but it looked like that on the outside, but when I bit into it, it was full of all kinds of fried bugs, which made my scalp tingle.

Yue Hongling's scalp was also numb from seeing it, and she almost wanted to throw the cake in her hand.

In the end, the little girl in front of her was still saying, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..it's so delicious..."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Yue Hongling: "..."

The movements of the two of them throwing the cake were just there. I thought it was Sisi's trick, so it's still a good thing?

Yue Hongling calmly stuffed the cake back into the little girl's hand: "Then give it to you, how dare you steal your food..."

"The saint forbids us to have breakfast..."

"It's okay, we'll ask her to intercede."

The two ran away in a hurry, Zhao Changhe still held the cake with a bite in his hand, hesitating all the way: "Should I say it or not, it's actually quite delicious..."

Yue Hongling was furious: "Because it's Sisi who eats it for you, it's delicious, right? Then I'll give you a Gu, and it won't kill you!"

"No, it's really delicious..."

"Go to hell, don't kiss me with that mouth after eating!"

The two chattered all the way to find Sisi, and Sisi popped up on the road, looking at the quarreling couple with a smile, with a kind of pleasure that caused family disharmony, and said in a friendly voice: "Oh, don't quarrel , it’s all because Sisi is bad, I forgot that you didn’t have the habit of eating these..."

The two stopped talking and stared at her.

Sisi smiled and said: "Having said that, Sister Yue said that wandering the rivers and lakes is very bitter, and it seems that she has never been in a real desperate situation, otherwise she would eat everything, let alone bugs."

"Hmm..." Yue Hongling thought for a while, but admitted: "It's true that I have never been to the point where the mountains and rivers are at the end... Well, if Changhe didn't come to pick me up the day before yesterday, and I escaped to Cangshan, it would be possible."

One sentence almost turned family disharmony into tenderness again, Sisi was too late to regret, and immediately said: "So it's delicious, you might as well try it, it's shameful to waste food."

After speaking, he turned and took the two of them into his own room, and set out real flower cakes and fruit wine: "Today, tomorrow at the latest, Lei Zhentang will definitely hold a joint meeting of the five clans, I think we should talk about something serious... "

Yue Hongling said: "At first I thought you guys were talking about business last night, so I didn't bother you, but what are you doing?"

"Ah?" Sisi looked at her head: "I forgot... the one who was messed up all night until dawn was indeed Sisi... Yue Nvxia has a little green hair..."

Yue Hongling: "..."

Can you still say that...

Zhao Changhe couldn't hold back anymore: "Let's talk about business and business. By the way, we are hiding here with the Bai people. There are still people in your village. Are you afraid that the village will be attacked by Lei Zhentang? You seem to be quite relaxed."

Sisi shook her head: "Assassination is fine. To openly send troops to attack the joint members of the five clans is to risk the disgrace of the world. Don't say that the Bai and Yao people will get angry, and even other small clans that follow the general trend will not sit idly by. He will be caught in an endless civil war first. So we only need to protect ourselves... In fact, the more we walk in an open and aboveboard place, the better it will be. It's best not to hide somewhere alone..."

I don't know if this counts as public avenging or self-serving, but on the face of it, this is not easy to refute. The dog and the man looked at each other without making a sound.

Sisi felt a little bit of victory, gnawed the flower cake leisurely, and smiled with crooked eyes: "As for ourselves...you tried the sword against hundreds of tribes, how did you get? Is there anything I need to explain about Gu arts or curses? "

You eat flower cakes by yourself, it looks beautiful, let us eat bugs...

Zhao Changhe complained in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Whether Gu is acting on itself or hurting the enemy, at least there are signs. How to solve the curse? It's too silent to defend against."

"The curse needs a medium and a certain amount of casting time. It is useless in a normal one-on-one situation. I'm afraid that if you cast the spell in advance, you will have already hit the road before you know it."

Zhao Changhe said: "Of course there must be restrictions. Having such an obvious restriction is already a headache. If there is no restriction, then it's okay?"

Sisi smiled and said: "Don't worry so much, this is not completely unsolvable... First of all, the more powerful the curse, the higher the pre-requirements, such as collecting your nail hair, setting up a straw man, and various methods to curse your feet." For dozens of days, it may even be exchanged with the life of the caster, generally speaking, there is no need to worry about such a strong method."

Yue Hongling asked, "What about the normal ones?"

"In general, in fact, its essence is to affect your soul or body through a method within the established scope of the Dao of Heaven. As long as your practice is higher than a certain level, you can naturally resist it... This is actually the same as resisting poison. The theory." Sisi said, her eyes were a little cloudy: "We have tried it before, we used all the power of the family to curse a person, like the wind blowing on the face, it didn't work at all...my father..."

Talking about cutting off and not continuing, he said slowly: "That's why I think martial arts is the foundation, these strange arts can only be used as a supplement, the Southwest Bailiao is not bad, and they still value themselves, the Lingzu used to be too extreme... I For this reason, you will be bullied by a certain friend..."

Yue Hongling pondered: "What kind of practice is needed to completely ignore these things?"

Sisi shook her head: "I don't know, there is always a triple secret, right? Of course, if it is normal, I feel that the level of the second secret is almost the same?"

Zhao Changhe said: "That's not something we can ignore now, or do we need some solutions?"

"It is solvable. For example, when you were in Erhai Lake that day, carrying the curse of weakness, I think you were self-solving... and yesterday's blood curse happened to hit your strength. But your self-solving The efficiency is very low, and the whole battle process has not been completely solved..." Sisi said with her chin resting: "We have medicine to prevent it, at least it can last for a few days, but I don't know if you will take it."

Zhao Changhe said: "Why don't you want to eat?"

"The curse can be cured, but the Gu worm that has entered the body can't be cured. Once it is completely combined with your body, if you want to get rid of the Gu worm, you will be useless." Sisi showed a charming smile: "Master, don't you dare?" Dare, to eat something from Sisi with unknown origin?"

Zhao Changhe looked down at the worms in the cake, and was suddenly afraid.

"This is Miao Jiang." Sisi put away her smile and said lightly: "This is the case for Miao Jiang, even more so for the Spirit Race. Do you still want to join the Spirit Race?"

Zhao Changhe looked up at her eyes, then looked down at the worms in the cake, suddenly opened his mouth and took a big bite, and smiled brightly: "If you dare to give, I will dare to eat."

Sisi looked at Zhao Changhe chomping on the pancake, her eyes seemed to be foggy and indistinct.

It wasn't until he watched him eat the whole pie that he slowly said: "The preventive medicine has been taken. Within seven days, you will ignore the curse."

Yue Hongling frowned, trying to persuade Zhao Changhe to pay attention, but he didn't say anything.

In this situation, what else can you do besides believe in Sisi? If you don't believe it, you can only add to your own troubles.

Then one person eats, the other does not eat, and if there is any trouble, the other person can also take care of it.

Sisi stood up, stretched herself, then bent down and put her ear close to Yue Hongling's ear: "Don't worry about your little lover... I've already done the wrong thing to him, and I don't want to do it again. Believe me, I will not let him down."

Yue Hongling smiled slightly: "I hope so."

"Saint, saint." A little girl ran outside: "Patriarch Dao sent someone to say that Lei Zhentang sent an envoy to ask us to go to Dali for a banquet and asked us what we think."

"This is a Hongmen Banquet. The crisis is even worse than yesterday. Idiots went to Dali to die." Sisi sneered, "Ask them to come here for a meeting. Our two races are here, so we are not qualified to be hosts?"

The little girl ran back to pass the letter again, and Sisi looked at Zhao Changhe and Yue Hongling: "Is your injury healed? They have a list, and there are two more. If the first meeting can't hold them down, what did you do before?" Anything more is a lie.”

Both men and women looked a little dignified.

The two top rankings... Lei Zhentang's combined strength of witchcraft is fascinating, but that's all.

The real trouble is that there is no time, and if he comes too...

At the top of the list, it should be Suzaku Xuanwu Tang Wanzhuang's opponent, can the two of them deal with it?
