The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 638: Do you help me or the Venerable?

 Zhao Changhe ignored the blind man's complaints.

 Lao Xia suggested not to rely too much on the Book of Heaven, and Zhao Changhe agreed.

 Lao Xia was able to cultivate to his current level with just one page of the Heavenly Book. He couldn’t have relied entirely on this page of the Heavenly Book. Basically, he had to rely on himself. Zhao Changhe was already consciously controlling himself in the first two pages. If he didn't get the Book of Heaven, he would rush to get rid of the feeling of dependence. Of course, this was not the right thing to say to a blind man, because it made her feel that she was being ignored because of a woman. The Book of Heaven is pretty good.

 As long as it is quicksand at night, this is an unexpected gain that is more concerning.

 Night quicksand is the last missing item to cast the Night Emperor's Sword. It has long been possible to forge the sword with just this.

Sanniang said that she didn't pay much attention to the search, which was a bit unfair. That was because she had no clue at all. Who would bother to look for such an ethereal thing? It’s not like I have nothing to do...

This doesn’t mean that I really don’t care. In fact, I still care a lot in my heart. Everywhere I go, I pay special attention to it. I have been looking for the Sanniang Ying Wuling Tribe overseas for more than half a year, but I have found nothing.

I couldn't find any information about it anywhere, and I thought I had to go to some very mysterious and unknown secret realm to get it. But there are so many of them right under my nose, so much that they could be luxuriously spread across the sky... It even seems possible. None of them happen to be used up. There is a high probability that there are some leftovers under the platform...

I scratched my head and thought for a long time. I really had never asked Lao Xia about this matter before. I was very opposed to him at that time, and I was stubbornly trying to remonstrate with him. It was impossible to ask him anything.

 In fact, Lao Xia should have a lot of good things. In the first half of his life, he traveled all over the world, and he had many more secret realms than Ying Wu. Some of them were extremely difficult. Moreover, Lao Xia has slaughtered gods. For example, he once destroyed Buddha. The introduction is that he killed a Buddhist god. So Lao Xia may still have Buddhist trophies in hand, and maybe there are others.

 “Why didn’t you say it before? We have been here before...”

"How many times have I told you that I am not your guide? Why should I teach you where to find treasures? Do you have some misunderstandings about our relationship?" The blind man sneered: "You still want to trick me in your heart. If you have nothing to do, I will give you guidance. This and that, why..."

"Hey, I'm familiar with it. I'm suing you for slander as if you were talking nonsense. When did I want to mess with you?"

　　　…” The blind man was too lazy to pay attention to him.

 You don’t want to do it?

I don’t know yet that your husband-in-law hates me... As for how to do it, maybe your method is more vicious than your father-in-law’s.

Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment, then went under the high platform to look for the secret door. There must be a collectible here, and it must be the night quicksand. The matter of the Night Emperor forging the sword can really be put on the agenda now.

For the current level of hope, the secret door is not difficult to find. Where there is a distinctive aura, you can almost tell it at a glance. Zhao Changhe quickly found the secret door under the high platform, and used the Crane Control Technique to separate the door from the The interior was opened, and the scene inside surprised Zhao Changhe.

I originally thought that Lao Xia would collect many top-level treasures, but it turns out that there is not. Basically, here are materials - the remaining materials to build this underground sky, and some may be used for previous training. Judging from this situation, it is very likely that even Long Que They are all used for front-end practice.

 It feels like in the second half of his training, Xia Longyuan didn't seem to be much interested in collecting treasures, otherwise he wouldn't have left the secret realms untouched... He was quite different in every aspect.

 There is a fire in the center of the ground, a very special underground fire. There is a furnace above the ground fire. It is a forging furnace with a very unique shape. The faint glow of the treasure makes it look like a fairy cultivator. When Zhao Changhe looked angry, he could almost see the earth fire here connecting in all directions, gathering the energy of the mountains and rivers, and triggering the Nanming Lihuo - this thing has another name, the Suzaku Fire.

That's right, it's the Suzaku... But this is not a collection of Suzaku fire, it is triggered by the earth's veins. The real source of the fire is not here. This is a special formation that uses all directions and heavens for its own use.

This sky was made using the method of refining weapons and was closely connected with the earth's veins, so Xia Longyuan could point at the sky and reach any position...

If we were to talk about the most special treasure here, maybe it would be this earth fire and furnace?

Zhao Changhe finally took a look at Xia Longyuan's heavenly book, and his brows immediately furrowed into the character "Chuan".

I originally thought it might be space. Lao Xia’s related things have the meaning of controlling the space of the universe, but after this exploration, I found something even more outrageous.

This page is not space, it is cause and effect... I don’t know if I had a falling out with the Buddhists because of robbing this page, probably yes.

 Is cause and effect one of the martial arts? Of course it is, but its mystery has far surpassed the previous page of belief in luck and merit, and is much more ethereal...

 So all these operations of Lao Xia can be summed up as "connecting all effects with one cause", turning himself into the cause of all effects, and then controlling everything. When he was in his heyday, he should have been able to do a lot of outrageous things, but he didn't have the complete knowledge, and his ultimate failure could be attributed to the backlash of cause and effect.

 For the current level of Zhao Changhe, the gap is too big and the contact was too early. But some of the concepts can still be applied... For example, to cast the sword of the Night Emperor, what is missing is not only the material Night Quicksand, but also you need to have enough will from the stars in order to fit the sword blank. Meaning, successfully cast. If there is no fusion of sword intent, it will just be made into a sword shape, and it will be a failed, soulless sword.

Then the question is, in order to break through the limitations of his own knowledge of the Four Symbols, the Emperor of the Night needed to recognize and understand the stars in the sky beyond the Four Symbols through the process of forging this sword. The day of realization is also the day when the sword is made. So who is the cause and who is the effect?

Should we first comprehend the stars and then forge the sword, or should we comprehend the stars while forging the sword? Which is the goal and which is the result?

The inside of this sword blank itself contains the foundation of the stars in the sky. Why should it be cut apart and discarded? If you have to understand the meaning of the stars first and then forge a sword, is it like fishing in the dark and shooting in the void?

Is the correct path to forge a sword and combine it with the meaning in the sword on the premise of having a certain cognitive foundation of the stars, and finally integrate it to reach the end of the road?

Moreover, why did I have to forge this sword? Did I fall into the cause and effect of the Night Emperor?

If you want to continue this period of cause and effect, but don’t want to suffer backlash in the future, what actions are needed?

  You need to have different opinions from Ye Emperor. You can't try to use Ye Emperor's name to trick Suzaku into bowing. You must tell you clearly that I have nothing to do with Ye Emperor, and you must acknowledge me. If you can do this, you can avoid the backlash of cause and effect to the greatest extent. Don't be careless.

When it comes to understanding the stars, I have one advantage and one disadvantage, which is also the biggest difference between people in this world.

 The advantage lies in being able to surpass the knowledge of people in this world and knowing what the real star firma is, which is naturally more correct and broader than their knowledge of the Four Symbols and Beidou in their minds.

The disadvantage lies precisely in this. The understanding of the universe is too preconceived. However, many martial arts in the world are realized through the echo of the sky in this plane. This can be confirmed in many formations and the exercises of the Four Symbols Sect. People do exists and is valid. If you don't admit that it's true, insist on thinking that it's all happening millions of light-years away from the stars in the universe, and think that people in this world are idiots, then you are incompatible with the martial arts of this world and cannot use it.

This is also the reason why Zhao Changhe has always been a little alienated from the matter of sword-making, and also the reason why he has never been worthy of his "martial arts genius" in terms of formations, and his learning has been extremely superficial.

Xia Longyuan is a little bit different from himself. Although he knows what the stars in the universe are, his understanding is relatively shallow. His ideological imprint is not as deep as his own, so it is easier for him to unify and combine the cognition of the two worlds. He can already Trying to build his own characteristic sky.

This is a more suitable reference for him, Zhao Changhe, than anything else. Traveling through the path traveled by his predecessors is hard to find.

Zhao Changhe hesitated for a moment while looking at the fire and forge, and finally left the darkroom, choosing to study the sky itself first.

  Reaching out his hand to touch the sky, which was as soft as satin and as flowing as sand, Zhao Changhe's eyes gradually became filled with surprise.

In fact, the combination is very simple. It just needs a reminder - just make the sky like a sand table with high and low dimensions. Some stars are farther away, some stars are closer, and they flow like sand. This can also construct the inner world. The concept of the distance and movement of stars is not a flat screen in the cognition of this world. And it is not as exaggerated and vast as originally thought, and it has become a usable category.

It’s just a simple direction of thinking, that is, genius’ ideas can inspire people infinitely.

If you build your own Sword of the Night Emperor with such a star intention, is it possible?

"Queen Mother!" The respectful salutes of the guards came from above. Zhao Changhe looked back from his deep thoughts and saw Huangfu's expression drifting down.

"They said you went to my palace to look for me before?" Huangfuqing stepped up to the high platform, with a little resentment in his eyes: "I thought you were busy doing makeup with Tang Wan, and you were busy satisfying your pleasure of toying with the emperor. The two of them God doesn’t care about me anymore…”

"What the hell." Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Don't you have time to talk to me? Everyone is very busy, and it's not the time to fall in love. We have a long time to come. Are you done now?"

Huangfu Qing said: "The facts in all aspects are too complicated and I can't finish them at the moment."

“Then why do you come here to see me when you have time?”

"Because... the treasures here include the platform and the sky. Your Majesty had no time to take care of it before. He just ordered people to guard it. When he is free, we will see if we want to move it back to the main altar. I heard that you are here, so I naturally came over to take a look. One glance.”

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "What do you mean, your venerable lord, this is the trophy of the Four Symbols Sect and I can't take it?"

Huangfuqing hesitated and said, "Your Majesty probably won't ask you not to take anything...but you shouldn't be able to move everything, right?"

Zhao Changhe gently held her waist and blew into her ear: "Qing'er..."

Huangfu's lover was numb: "What are you doing..."

“If I want everything, will you help me or the Lord?”
