The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 643 Sword of the Night Emperor

 Actually, Sanniang’s stomach is a little sore.

From Zhao Changhe's attitude, it can be seen that he may be interested in the casting of the Night Emperor's Sword itself. That is a warrior's interest in how to forge a divine sword. But he has no interest in inheriting the cause and effect of the Night Emperor, becoming the Night Emperor, or gaining belief in the Four Symbols Sect, and is even quite hesitant.

Sanniang’s own current level of cultivation can understand Zhao Changhe’s avoidance, inherit the cause and effect, and have to pay it back in the future. This is a thunder heavier than the Sword Emperor under the Tang family.

What is not Ye Di but can go further than Ye Di? If you are full and full, since you avoid taboos, the normal choice is that you don’t need to touch it at all... If you like a sword, just make it for yourself. It’s just an item. This kind of cause and effect Much smaller.

 But he still chose to touch it, preferring to use this awkward way to increase the difficulty to avoid risks, rather than force it. There is no other reason, just for Suzaku.

Either you have to join the religion yourself and believe in the teachings of the Four Symbols, or you have to make yourself a benefit of the Four Symbols religion, so that the possible separation and conflicts between the two parties can be completely eliminated. It was impossible for Zhao Changhe to choose the former, so he chose the latter, which was the most difficult.

 He likes Suzaku so much.

 Sure enough, fierce women are more desirable, right?

Sanniang sniffed and said sourly: "You can reforge the dragon bird yourself, why do you need my help?"

Zhao Changhe said: "To control the fire... I need to devote myself to the sword and the stars, and I have no energy left to control the fire."

All right…

Sanniang looked at the sword blank he took out, feeling a little excited in her heart.

No matter how sad she felt, she was still a member of the Xuanwu Sect of the Four Symbols, so it was impossible not to be excited about such a big event as casting the Sword of the Night Emperor.

On the other hand, this is also her cause and effect. In ancient times, Xuanwu assisted Ye Emperor in forging swords. Although no one knows why Xuanwu, who represents the element of water, was used to assist in the casting process, to this day, this is still the relationship between Xuanwu and Ye Emperor. In the process of forging swords... there is a continuation of it.

Sanniang took out two crystal nuclei and threw them aside. Two foolish water men appeared and knelt down to Sanniang: "My God..."

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "When did you learn this trick?"

“I am the King of the Sea now, do you want to shoot me?”

　　…“…another day.”

"As you said, I will try my best next time, but I will only give nine points to Suzaku. Why should I take risks after spending so much time on her? Don't I like it?"

　　　…”

Sanniang hummed, and even though she cursed, she still directed the two water men to blow the wind.

 The dragon bird can be melted by conventional fire here, but it is obviously not strong enough to melt the Night Emperor sword blank and needs to be strengthened. With Sanniang under control, Zhao Changhe could finally focus all his attention on the sword itself.

 He took a deep breath and put the sword blank into the furnace.

This is an extremely complete sword blank that is only one step away from the finished sword. Except for the fact that it has no sharp edges, it can be used directly as a finished product most of the time. Zhao Changhe once shot it out and killed someone. A giant octopus possessed by the Yin Qi of the Neptune Emperor.

  The reason why we did not directly open the front to make the finished product is because the most critical item, Night Quicksand, was missing.

In the last period of their lives, Ye Di and Xuanwu probably both had the same realization as Xia Longyuan who came to this world. They needed a flowing night curtain to represent the sky, which is not static. The only item that can meet the attributes of "night", "flow" and "not here, not on the other side" and has enough level and energy is Night Quicksand.

So the top experts from the two eras unanimously used this object to build their own canopy. This means that the Emperor of the Night has finally taken that crucial step of enlightenment, but the era suddenly collapsed and it was never too late.

Zhao Changhe looked at the sword blank that was gradually reddening and softening, and suddenly wondered, could the collapse of the era have something to do with Ye Di's breakthrough? Just like the NPCs in the game world evolved into GMs, and the world collapsed? In other words, it caused the backlash of the original Tiandao, thinking that this world was no longer available, and everyone rebelled...

 It is possible, but the order is doubtful.

 I don’t have the time to think about it at the moment. Zhao Changhe stared closely at the degree of softening of the sword, and suddenly reached out to grab a handful of night sand, covering it accurately and evenly on the sword. Watching the process of the night sand being absorbed by the sword body, his spirit suddenly penetrated the burning sword.

Different from the dragon bird, the dragon bird already has a spirit and does not need his spirit to reach in and guide it into a spirit. This crucial step of the Night Emperor Sword blank must be guided by oneself. Based on the already formed blank, it can only accept the preset meaning of the stars in the sky. Others are incompatible. Not only will it fail to be cast, but it will also be rejected. Therefore, it has always been said that the most critical thing in building this sword is to adapt to the sword's intention, not just the lack of items.

 After his spirit penetrated, he could feel the sky inside like a burning cloud, with flames everywhere and extremely hot. Even Zhao Changhe's spirit was a little overwhelmed. Almost all his strength was used to fight against the scorching heat inside, and he could do nothing.

Sanniang next to her glanced at Zhao Changhe's sweaty appearance, and suddenly reached out and touched his eyebrows.

A coolness spread across the spiritual platform, and the blazing heat inside the sword body seemed to have been relieved. A moist wind blew through the sky, and the fire clouds became much gentler.

 Is this why Xuanwu assistance is necessary?

As the night quicksand gradually penetrated, the sky began to change from red to dim, getting darker and darker, and gradually turned into a vast night.

 There are no stars in the night, only pure black like brocade, flowing gently.

 But there are actually stars. The foundation of the sword is here. All the stars are hidden in it. You need to find and light them up one by one. If you can't even do this, you are not qualified to forge this sword.

Zhao Changhe hung under the sky and stood silently for a moment, then suddenly pointed his swords at the sky. This is a sword. The so-called meaning of the stars is integrated with the meaning of the sword. Various pits are buried here and they need to be fully consistent.

What can be inconsistent is their own understanding of the stars... If it is the Night Emperor, the sword must be pointing to the four images; if it is Xia Longyuan, it must be the sun and the moon. To modern people's understanding, what are the four images? Cunt stuff…

And Zhao Changhe's sword pierced through the air, and it pointed at something extremely random. It was neither the sun, the moon, nor the four objects. A tiny star that people in this world have no concept of suddenly appears in the night sky, blinking in and out of sight.

Xuanwu records that "the stars outside the four images are not in the sky"? Zhao Changhe once told Sanniang Chichi to look at the stars outside the four-image frame.

 This is the path that Emperor Ye finally wants to take. This simple point is that it is further than Emperor Ye back then.

 But you don’t just randomly point at the stars in the sky. You have to have a basic logic, why you clicked this first, and what happens next, to form a system. This is a concept that Zhao Changhe had not formed earlier, and he always thought that he was far behind. This is not something you can just apply a system like the twelve constellations, it has to be your own sword intention.

 After thinking about it for so long, Zhao Changhe had a draft.

 After the first star lit up, the sword energy suddenly went wild, and thousands of swords shot straight into the sky.

Thousands of sword energy flowed past, and a Milky Way appeared in the sky. It turned out that the first star pointed out before was just a grain of sand among the countless stars in the Milky Way.

 When there are no other stars but the Milky Way, it really looks like the Milky Way is hanging upside down, with extraordinary momentum, like it is setting in the sky. The violent and rushing Dharma image surged up behind him. The sky was like the Milky Way, and so was the body, so they complemented each other and shone brighter and brighter.

 There is a faint spiritual energy hanging in the sky, like mist floating on the river.

 It is a gathering of spirits.

The blind man squeezed his delicate hands unconsciously. He was obviously a spirit body, but he felt a little sweaty.

I always thought that he didn’t have much idea about the meaning of the stars in the sky. I originally thought that he would not succeed. I watched the joke with a cold eye and asked him to hold it in for a while. Then he turned around and asked, "Blind blind, what should I do? Give me some strategies..."

As a result, Zhao Changhe remained silent, secretly thinking that he had really fused his sword intention, and that this was his own star intention.

 Is it because Xia Chichi was moved by the founding of the country? But he didn't show that he understood it at that time... Could it be that Zhao Changhe was deliberately hiding his performance from himself now?

 The Milky Way is open, and Zhao Changhe is even more scheming.

A much thicker sword energy shot straight into the sky, and the cold and blurry moonlight loomed in the sky.

 With the moon, the four images begin to light up. And almost in no particular order, thousands of swords came out again, and all four phenomena appeared. He does not deliberately avoid or jump out of the existence of the four images, or in other words, he wants to include the four images.

At the moment when the four images lit up, Sanniang, who was fussing and controlling the fire, seemed to feel something and looked back in shock.

Far away in the Queen Mother's palace, Huangfu Qing suddenly stood up and turned to look north.

Xia Chichi, who was having a private discussion with Tang Wanzhuang in the imperial study, stood up in shock, almost knocking over the inkstone in front of him.

Tang Wanzhuang was stunned: "Why are you so alarmed, Your Majesty?"

Xia Chichi's face was really pale, and he said to himself in shock: "The Emperor of the Night comes to the world? No, this is specious...is this...the long river?"

 “Whoosh!” Huangfu Qingxia Chichi and the Sixiang cultists in the palace turned into streams of light and went straight to the Ancestral Temple.

Tang Wanzhuang was left staring at the empty imperial study, dumbfounded.

Countless Si Xiang believers gathered at the entrance of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and almost all of them held their breath.

Huangfuqing put on a red bird mask and stood at the entrance. He waved his hand to stop the crowd of questions and whispered: "Everyone, please be patient and don't disturb me."

Xia Chichi came up and asked in a low voice: "Honorable Sir, this intention suddenly dimmed...did it fail?"

"Almost..." Huangfuqing looked up at the sky. Dawn was about to break and the sun had not yet appeared.

"Almost...just like the Emperor of the Night, he missed the last bit of completion. The Emperor of the Night missed his intention, and what he missed was..."

Xia Chichi murmured: "Practice?"

Zhao Changhe’s clothes below him have already been soaked with sweat.

 His sword direction is okay...but his practice is not enough.

 The second secret treasure is simply not enough!

Sanniang is also sweating. Even the fire is not warm enough to support such forging!

If you make a divine sword according to the ancients, whether it is a lack of sword intent or a lack of flames, there is a common solution.

 Put your body into the furnace to temper this divine sword.
