The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 573 The unfinished secret of the ancient spirit

 Use martial arts to gain a glimpse of the mysteries, and you must eventually lead the way.

 Sixiang Sect claims to have a rich inheritance, but in fact it still has a lot of limitations and deficiencies. Zhuque Xuanwu needs to find another opportunity.

The crystal core of the water-man structure made by Poseidon is the lead for Sanniang to spy on the gods and demons. It seems that Sanniang has really gained a lot of new insights while thinking about the crystal core these days. When it comes to the use of water attributes, she is no longer limited to "using its power", but includes more characteristic.

That is the emperor.

Venerable Xuanwu took the most critical step on his way to the imperial realm.

 This step is also inseparable from this wave of dual cultivation...

 Dual cultivation has always been about progressing together in harmony, rather than unilateral solicitation or giving. Sanniang's practice has also improved, and at the same time she has understood part of the spring water sword intention from Zhao Changhe's various ideas. Spring Water Sword Intention is not only water, its core is actually the visual deception of refraction, and leaving a shadow in the water cannot be done by pure water. It is essentially related to light, and pure light cannot do this. It requires water. .

 Everything does not exist independently, and its characteristics are often formed by the interaction with other things. When you realize this, it is a qualitative leap.

 Actually, it’s not that I didn’t understand the truth before, it was just that I couldn’t do it. Therefore, Xia Chichi was able to possess both abilities. In the eyes of Suzaku Xuanwu, that was very gratifying and important.

Zhao Changhe was even more delighted: "I want to learn, teach me, teach me."

Sanniang put away the water balloon, hummed and turned around: "I won't teach you."

“Hey, my dear Sanniang, I am your most trusted general, Shi Huo Zhu…”

“If you don’t learn fire, what are you doing to learn fire? You don’t want to learn how to memorize me without clothes, do you?”

“...I can watch it directly, why are you secretly filming this?”

"So you want to secretly take pictures of other people who can't see! Hey, wait a minute, what are you doing... hiss... tap on this **** stinky pig! Ah... um... eh? Don't stop!"

　　　…”

"You...you are shameless! Hey, hey, I'll teach you, I'll teach you..."

 I have learned it, but unfortunately everyone’s level is quite different.

Zhao Changhe looked at the blurred picture quality in his hand. He couldn’t even see clearly what he had taken. It was not on the same level as Sanniang’s 4K high-definition picture, and it dissipated not long after it was retained. But I still happily couldn’t put it down and took selfies endlessly.

Sanniang lay weakly on the side, looking at his stinky appearance, looking annoyed and amused, and waved her hand feebly: "Go and practice your skills, stinky pig."

Zhao Changhe ran away in a flash. Under the stunned gaze of Tang En and others outside the cabin, he plunged into the sea, dived into the deep sea and shook his fist.

 Tang En and others looked like gods.

There have been strange sounds coming from your cabin for several hours. A normal person would be as dead as a dog at this time, but you can still dive into the water and punch! Is there nowhere to vent such strong energy? Is the waiter in the cabin okay with it?

 Come to think of it, the plump and voluptuous one looks fertile, and I guess he is as capable as a wolf and a tiger, and can eat well.

What should we do with the head of our family? Will his fragile and fragile body be killed...

“Ship, captain…over there in the distance…is that a whale or an island? It’s night and I can’t see clearly.”

The moon in the distance was like a disk. Tang En looked up into the distance under the clear moonlight and raised his hand: "I think it's a whale. Don't panic, the ships are in formation, and the crossbows are ready..."

 “Whoosh!” A figure jumped out of the sea and rode the waves towards the whale in the distance.

Tang En's hand was still raised, and he opened his mouth wide without having time to close it. Zhao Changhe jumped up and punched the whale.

 All sailors on the ship: “…”

One man and one whale were fighting under the moon. It was too far away to see the details. I could only feel the whale surging and the waves rising and falling. After a while, the movements became smaller and smaller, and gradually became silent.

Zhao Changhe drove the whale and waved from afar: "Hello everyone!"

The whale honestly turned around and moved forward parallel to the boat. It looked like it had been beaten into a car, and it was the same encounter as the previous shark.

Tang En turned to the sailor and asked: "I feel like he doesn't need our ship at all."

Someone said quietly: "I still want it, if I provide the value of the brothel, he can come back and hold the woman to sleep when he is tired."

"Pa!" Tang En slapped the sailor on the back of the head: "Insulting others is also humiliating yourself, who allows you to describe our Tang family as a brothel!" Everyone didn't know whether they were angry or laughing, and looked up at Zhao Changhe riding in front. Watching the whale riding the wind and waves under the moonlight, it is inevitable to feel a little envious.

　　A man is at his strongest age, punching through a giant whale and sailing across the East China Sea, drunkenly embracing a beautiful woman and sleeping on a boat, so high-spirited.

 …

For Zhao Changhe, except for breaking through the last layer of relationship with Sanniang, this part of the voyage was not much different from the previous one on Lai Qi's boat. The theme was still practicing martial arts. During the day, they go to the sea and punch, and at night they practice double cultivation with Sanniang. The only difference is that the relationship between Xiaozhu and the Venerable that Lai Qi and the others imagined has become a reality.

But the effect is much better than what happened on Lai Qi's ship in those days. The benefits obtained from dual cultivation alone are incomparable. Even if the Yuan Yin is gone, the subsequent effects are still very significant. It is almost as if the "experience bar" is visible to the naked eye. It's so effective.

The understanding of water is deeper and familiar every day. There is a kind of illusion that is about to master this direction, and even the research of evil spirits is pressed aside.

This is due to the strong compatibility of Liuhe Divine Art. Using Liuhe Divine Art as the basis to bypass any law is no obstacle. The one that has been most affected so far is actually the Rejuvenation Technique. The image of soft water infiltrating and reviving all things is becoming more and more clear, and it already has the meaning of rejuvenation from the physical body to the sea of ​​soul.

  Continuing, Zhao Changhe thought that maybe he could go back and try treating his evening makeup again.

The image captured by the water mirror technique is becoming clearer day by day, and the control is becoming more and more proficient. Gradually, the scars on his face can be seen in it.

It can also be seen from this that the gap between the second level secret treasure and the third level is actually quite large. Sanniang's cultivation level can only be described as "unfathomable" to herself, including other places.

Sanniang is also not without benefits. She doesn’t have to spend any effort. She just lies down and sleeps lazily every day. Her cultivation will increase by itself and she will feel comfortable. All she needs to do is replenish water...

Zhao Changhe very much suspected that she was getting closer and closer to the real imperial realm...I don’t know what the threshold would be if she really wanted to break through the imperial realm...

Trying to consult the blind man, the blind man said nothing and ignored him again.

"Yu Jing... You don't have to ask others, I know how to practice." Sanniang would sometimes go to the whale to sit and relax together, feeling the comfort of the sea breeze blowing her hair, leaning against the man's arms behind her back, more comfortable than in the room The wooden chair is comfortable.

 It is more comfortable if a man is still making suggestions for his own practice.

“Isn’t it said that the inheritance of the Four Symbols Sect also lacks the method of controlling the realm?”

"But we searched for the remnant soul of the corpse demon in the Maitreya Secret Realm." Sanniang said leisurely: "Not only the relevant knowledge, but also the ancient secrets, we also learned a lot, some of which are about ancient Buddhism, which is very interesting .”

Zhao Changhe is not interested in ancient Buddhism: "You should copy the spirit-controlling techniques and the beast-soul-unification method of the Remnant Soul Society. Give me a copy later."

Sanniang was alert: “Why do you want this?”

 Zhao Changhe pretended to be dead and looked up at the sky.

"There are still some secrets in the Ancient Spirit Clan." Sanniang became serious, left his arms, and turned to stare into his eyes: "I can give you what you want, but don't kill yourself because of your lust. Okay, I suggest you stay away from the Ancient Spirit Clan and don’t touch them."

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment: "As for what?"

By the way, I thought at that time that Ancient Xuanwu was very aware of the origin of the Ancient Spirit Clan. He might have known that the ancient Spirit Clan was transformed by a great witch. Now that Xuanwu is right in front of us, maybe these things can be connected.

Sure enough, I heard Sanniang say: "I have read some vague records in the ancient Xuanwu inheritance. Combined with some information obtained from the remnant soul of the Xuewu, I have reason to suspect that the great witch, the ancestor of the Ancient Spirit Clan, was suppressed by Tiandao himself when Tiandao was still there. Killed. If you believe in the way of heaven and spirits, then the ancient spirit tribe is located in a land that is not tolerated by the way of heaven, and the ancient spirit tribe is a group of cursed exiles. It can even be said that why the way of heaven died and why it collapsed in the last era, You can trace the clues from here. The height of this matter... is far beyond what you and I can deal with now."

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a long time before saying: "There is information from the Ancient Spirit Clan, saying that the Suzaku and the White Tiger are gathering in the southwest wilderness. I don't know if they also used related celestial phenomena to explain it, or if it really has something to do with your Four Symbols Church."

"Maybe it has something to do with it. Emperor Ye was also pursuing this back then. He wanted to replace Heaven."

Zhao Changhe could guess that the title Night Emperor was a modest one, as if he only cared about the night and had nothing to do with him during the day. But in essence, he is the Lord of the Stars—the Lord of the Sky.

At the level of Emperor Ye, if it is okay to say that the way of heaven is unknown, once the way of heaven is a specific object, Emperor Ye is already very close to it. Tiandao is dead, and it is natural for Ye Di to replace Tiandao.

But the way of heaven is an illusory concept. If we talk about it materialistically, it is actually the world. When the way of heaven dies, the world dies. When the world dies, doesn’t it mean that the era is reopened? All living beings in the world have no way to rely on, even the Night Emperor. no. So when the way of heaven died, the era collapsed, the gods and Buddhas dispersed, and the Night Emperor failed to replace heaven, but lingered on.

This matter should involve the root of my own time travel. It is indeed not something that can be revealed now. If you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces.

So far, I can't even defeat the water man created by the King of the Sea... But fortunately, the main force this time is not me. The level of the Sea Emperor is far superior to that of Xue Wu and Venerable Doro. Once the barrier of the Sea Emperor can be uncovered, perhaps many of the secrets of gods and demons behind it will become clear and will be fully revealed before our eyes.

Just as I was thinking this, a distorted aura faintly appeared in front of me. Looking into the distance, the water was rippling, the light was twisting, a long rainbow flew across the sky like a bridge, and islands were looming at the end of the sea and sky, and I didn't know how wide it was.

I can’t even estimate how far it is from here.

The destination of this trip on the sea seems to be arriving soon...
