Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 6: Beimang

The Luo family, a wealthy family in Great Xia, was brutally wiped out by the Four Symbol Cult and the Blood God Cult, leaving no trace of chickens or dogs left in the family. This incident spread throughout the world within a few days, shocking the world.

Although Zhao Changhe has heard several people talking about the chaotic world, it is not completely chaotic yet. In today’s world, chaos is everywhere, bandits are rampant, alien races are on the lookout, high-ranking families are occupying each side, and careerists are ready to move… However, there is still a unified empire in name, Daxia, which is a sign of the end of the dynasty, and it has not yet completely entered the stage of competition among heroes. hour.

Nowadays, there are many people who claim to be the king of the mountain, at least those who openly raise the flag of rebellion have not yet appeared, and they are still at the level of “bandits” and “devils”.

The typical watershed between this level and the real troubled times should basically start with the killing of officials and rebellion, the siege of cities and territories, etc., which means that the authority of the imperial court has disappeared.

The Luo family is not a powerful force, but it has a long heritage and is considered a high-class family. It also has a special feature – it is rumored that the Luo family is related to the royal family.

Zhao Changhe heard Yue Hongling say this when he first came to your place. Although no one could tell what the connection was, it might not be a rumor. Just seeing that Tang Shouzuo didn’t even have time to wait for the large troops, the sick body rushed to the rescue at starry night, this is already a kind of proof.

Nowadays, this local family related to the royal family has been wiped out by the demon sect overnight, which is like being slapped in the face of the royal family. It seems to indicate that the prelude to the troubled times is about to completely begin, and the storm is about to come.

And one of the little-known names came to the world through the Daxia Wanted Order.

The murderer, Zhao Changhe!

…………

Thousands of miles away, Beimang.

Heavy snow covers thousands of miles of mountains, and everything is covered with snow.

Zhao Changhe, who was just beginning to become famous, was in pain at this time.

He stood on the top of the mountain in the cold wind and looked up into the distance. His clothes were thin and he was freezing to death. Luo Qi stood beside him, both of them expressionless.

On that day, the Tang leader was still sick alone and could not forcefully retrieve Zhao Changhe’s head in the enemy’s formation. He just took Luo Zhenwu’s body and left. Zhao Changhe, who had a “voucher of surrender”, was taken back by the Demon Cult as a matter of course and joined the gang. Also taken away was Luo Qi, who was next to Zhao Changhe. He was regarded as a member of Zhao Changhe’s gang…

Obviously Luo Qi had never planned to join any demon sect, but he did not dare to run away, so he had no choice but to follow him here. His whole life was disrupted, and his face was always dark along the way.

Zhao Changhe understood his bad face, but he didn’t feel that he had tricked Luo Qi. After all, Luo Family Village is dead. Without him, it’s hard to say whether Luo Qi would have survived. Even if Mr. Tang can rescue Luo Zhenwu, how can he care about you as an outer disciple? The probability of being a dead calf is as high as 99%. To put it bluntly, Zhao Changhe saved himself, otherwise he would have been hacked to death by the Demon Cult.

In fact, Luo Qi knew it well, so he walked with Zhao Changhe wherever he went, even though he had a bad look on his face. Zhao Changhe is also happy with this, because he is the only person he is familiar with at this time…

As for joining the Demon Cult, Zhao Changhe certainly has no qualms about it. When things have come to this point, he just wants to join. How can the Luo family be better than the Demon Cult?

The demon cultists did not go around showing off their evil intentions on the way, and just brought them back in an extremely low-key manner. The demon cultists quite agreed with Zhao Changhe’s behavior and were quite enthusiastic towards him along the way, praising him as “a good man”, but Zhao Changhe was still very annoyed.

Beimang Beimang…of course he has a world, and he is quite famous. When I first heard this place name, I thought it was from ancient Chinese world geography, but it turned out not to be the case. This Beimang has nothing to do with the Mang Mountain he knows. This mountain is deserted and uninhabited, with thousands of miles of ice and snow. There is a city outside the mountain, but it is also a small and remote city. It is not the land of Heluo at all.

This is not ancient China, it is a completely different world. I just don’t know what it has to do with my dream. Could it be that because it is my dream world, the customs here are similar to China, and the language is also modern Chinese?

I don’t know, but it’s sad. During the past few days, he had slept and woke up so many times, and there was no sign of returning to the living world. Zhao Changhe knew that he really could not go back.

Zhao Changhe has never had the desire to travel through time. He still has his parents at home, and he wants nothing more than to go back home.

Regardless of whether you can go back by killing the demon girl… In short, since the blind man has the ability to make people travel through time, it means that he can also develop the ability to go back. Obviously, the first priority is to gain knowledge of power as quickly as possible. For example, by opening the so-called human body portal, it is possible to get a glimpse of the path back.

If nothing else, I’m afraid I’m going to die of cold here if I don’t practice.

Luo Qi on the side suddenly spoke: “Is it because of the demon sect’s skills that you are so showy?”

Zhao Changhe turned to look at him, but Luo Qi still had no expression. Zhao Changhe shook his head and said: “There is no limelight at all. It is to avenge the innocent villagers of Zhaocuo, and it is also self-protection. Otherwise, you and I might be hanging there.”

Luo Qidao: “Then you should give a false name. Why are you so arrogant about calling the murderer Zhao Changhe?”

Zhao Changhe smiled: “Why can’t you talk nonsense about Zhao Changhe? Who knows who I am if I change my name when I go out in the future…”

Luo Qi choked up, tilted his head and stopped talking. It was a bit cute that way.

Zhao Changhe said at this time: “That’s your real name.”

Luo Qi: “Grass.”

“I’m too lazy to hide my head and hide my tail. A man can’t change his surname but his name.” Zhao Changhe grinned: “Besides, don’t you think what I said is awesome?”

Luo Qi was stunned and didn’t know how to answer this.

Just to show off?

Zhao Changhe finally sighed: “Having said that, real names and pseudonyms are meaningless. I guess the arrest warrants have been posted everywhere. As long as the face is painted like that, any name will be the same… Well, I hope Tang The first painting is not good.”

Luo Qi sneered: “The first person in the Tang Dynasty was famous for his fine music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was most famous for his talent and appearance, and was famous throughout the Xia Dynasty.”

Zhao Changhe shrugged: “Forget it, what can I do if I’ve done everything?”

Luo Qi stopped worrying about this and said instead: “Actually, it’s not unusual for people to go to higher places… I just wonder if you might be a little regretful. It’s not the Four Symbols Sect that brought us back, but the Blood God Sect. The level of the Blood God Sect is not much better than that of the Luo family, and its background may not be as good as it is.”

Zhao Changhe originally thought he could join the Four Symbols Sect, but it was obvious that the Luo family could be destroyed not by the Blood God Sect, but by the Suzaku Master of the Four Symbols Sect. The Blood God Sect was just a henchman. As a result, as soon as Mr. Tang left, Venerable Suzaku also left without any further words. The main body of the audience were Blood God cultists, and of course they were brought to join the Blood God cult.

And instead of following Master Xue to the main helm, he was just taken to the Beimang branch, which seemed not to take him seriously.

When you think about it, you really don’t pay too much attention to it. What kind of future can an older young man who has no spiritual practice have? It’s just that the Demon Cult also needs to recruit people. Of course, those who have submitted their name to join the group will be regarded as members of the group. If you don’t accept this, where else are you going to recruit people?

If Zhao Changhe was a few years younger, or if he had strong training, he might have a good job. Unlike now, when rituals were being carried out inside, they were not allowed to watch and could only blow the cold wind outside.

“I have no regrets. I just have a place to go. Anyway, I will be destroyed if I stay in the Luo family, so what else can I do?” Zhao Changhe didn’t talk about it anymore, and instead said: “Are you still angry with me? You’ve been here all this time. How many days have passed, and the stinking face has not ended. I didn’t destroy the Luo family. If I hadn’t done this, wouldn’t you have counted if you were dead? Do you still have foolish loyalty to Luo Zhenwu and want to give it to him? Revenge is not possible?”

Luo Qi sighed and said: “As you said, it was the Four Symbols Sect and the Blood God Sect that destroyed the Luo family, not you. Why should I blame you? It’s just that my life has been in chaos since then, the future is confused, and I am in a bad mood. , I don’t mean to make you look bad, I hope you understand.”

Zhao Changhe understood, and asked: “Then do you hate the Blood God Cult? As a child of the Luo family, are your parents…in it?”

“Huh…” Luo Qi shook his head: “My parents are gone a long time ago… I’m just curious, why on earth did they want to destroy the Luo family?”

Why should the Luo family be destroyed? This matter may indeed be important. Zhao Changhe quickly thought of the second “location card” he had traveled through. Since the “eye behind the back” is really effective, the location card cannot be targeted without aim. It must be related to the Luo family. Maybe you can ask about it when you really join the cult…

But I heard Luo Qi say: “The Blood God Sect is not as mysterious as the Four Symbols Sect. They have many activities in the world and often recruit all kinds of gangsters to plunder… So they are divided into formal believers and non-staff gangsters. You and I It’s hard to say what kind of treatment you can get… If you can officially join the church, you can teach me a lot in the future.”

This is why he took the initiative to ease the relationship. Zhao Changhe is the one who has made meritorious deeds and has a great chance to be a disciple, but he is not.

Zhao Changhe also knew that before, Yue Hongling mistakenly believed that the men in black who massacred Zhao Cuo were non-staff gangsters from the Blood God Sect, because the martial arts skills were superficial and the foundation could not be seen. It is conceivable that if you just absorb this identity, it will be useless.

At this moment, the secret door at the rear opened a small crack, and someone shouted from the crack: “The helmsman, let you two go in and talk.”

The two of them thought about it, looked at each other, and turned around to go inside.

There is a secret door under the ice and snow in the mountain col. The path behind the door winds all the way down, leading to the heart of the mountain deep underground.

The space inside the mountain is neither big nor small. There is an altar surrounded by a pool of blood, which can accommodate hundreds of people to participate in the ceremony.

This is the location of the Blood God Cult’s branch altar. There are many more bandits who are not allowed to enter and can only live in the snowy and icy mountains.

At this time, the torches around the blood pool were brightly lit, and more than a hundred formal believers formed a strange formation around the edge, sitting quietly and praying. The sub-rudder was mumbling something on the altar, roughly speaking that his actions would go smoothly under the blessing of the Blood God.

So this is a “sect”, not a sect.

However, looking at it now, the scene does not have any mysterious feeling of surging blood, but it does feel a bit superstitious.

“Is there a **** in this world?” Zhao Changhe asked Luo Qi in a low voice.

“Yes.” Luo Qi was very sure: “I have never seen the true God, but there are many miracles… everyone believes in it.”

“What miracle?” Zhao Changhe asked hurriedly.

He originally felt that this should not be a world of low martial arts. Otherwise, how could he explain the blind man’s ability to send people across borders?

Luo Qi gave him a strange look: “You don’t know?”

“I don’t know.”

“You are alive in this **** world, but you have never seen the Book of Troubled Times!”
