The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 730 Yin Fire and Cause and Effect

Zhao Changhe just wanted to ask, do you know that I am doing double cultivation? What are you doing here... I'm talking to you while I'm advancing. Do you know what this feels like?

 Fortunately, the dialogue between souls is always only a moment, otherwise Hong Ling would feel guilty about this, okay...

 Also, if God wants me to have clothes, I must have clothes. Now my body obviously has no clothes, aren’t you looking at it? Who are you kidding by putting on fake clothes in the sea of ​​consciousness? It’s just like you are deceiving yourself and others with your eyes closed.

 Purposely saying this to ask her for advice is also a further test. What is the difference between studying the Book of Heaven on your own and having her give advice?

 Reading a "book" by yourself, whether it is a VR scene or text editing, is considered self-study by following "videos" or textbooks, and does not count as being taught by a teacher. To be honest, it's not that I have to avoid these things. A big reason why I haven't touched them much is that things like cause and effect are different from normal martial arts. There is no one to teach you and you can't learn them by yourself.

I have previously gone back to the Nanming Lihuo through the underground sky. The fire was always there. Finding the source is the simplest way to trace the source. The furthest within the fur, I can do it by self-study of heavenly books. It is too difficult to go deeper. .

This kind of extremely mysterious thing may be easier for them to learn later, but Zhao Changhe's talent is really not in it. But before we can figure out the backdoor of the Book of Heaven, we can't easily lead Wanzhuang and the others into this trap. Naturally, the five elements are fine, but forget about the cause and effect. It's too dangerous...

If you can bury the back door in any way, then since the book spirit is standing here, why do you need to take off your pants and fart? It has to be shown with some real scene or text, and cannot be taught face to face? If you are confused, you can’t just ask or answer directly? Only then can we learn.

But the blind man never planned to be Zhao Changhe’s master! What you want is different, let’s talk about it separately. How can it be good to be this guy’s master and superior? There was a forging instructor who was so frightened that he ran away. As a result, he was caught even if he ran out of the sea.

 But since you pretend that you want him to study hard and you don't teach him, doesn't it mean that you have another purpose for asking him to ponder the Book of Heaven? He was already very avoidant, so now he should be treated as a piece of paper even more completely...

Looking at Zhao Changhe's squinting and suspicious eyes, the blind man remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "You have only relied on yourself all the way to wake up. You could have always relied on yourself."

"When did I need such a name? I have many masters, including Sun Jiaoxi, Hongling, Wanzhuang, Qing'er, and Guigui, all of whom have taught me."

“I suggest you remove Professor Sun and read it loudly again.”

“...Lao Cui also taught me that there are also robbers and even martyrdom.”

"In fact, you do not have a master. This kind of thing can only be called adopting reasonable suggestions, rather than who is leading you forward. You really have to rely on yourself." The blind man couldn't help but admire a little as he said: "It should be said Needless to say, Zhao Changhe, you are indeed very powerful, I didn’t expect you to be at this level back then.”

Zhao Changhe said speechlessly: "Wearing a tall hat like this does it mean that you don't want to teach?"

The blind man was silent for a moment: "I told you a long time ago that I will not be biased in any way. You have obtained the Heavenly Book, and the natural manifestation of the Heavenly Book. You can understand as much as you can, and the nature of my teaching will change."

Zhao Changhe laughed: "How many times have you played with the Chunqiu style of writing within the rules, including the timing of the notification. You are not an honest person... You are obviously a witch, why are you pretending to be old-fashioned?"

 The blind man's heart suddenly jumped and his face was expressionless.

Zhao Changhe said leisurely: "From what I have seen, you can never be a follower who is willing to do whatever is told by the established rules... If you can't even control the Heavenly Book, but are instead bound by the rules of the Heavenly Book, then how can you compare to How smart is Longque? If you really think of yourself as the spirit of an item, then you still need to find an owner... Then let’s see if I can do it?”

The blind man suddenly smiled. Although he had no bright eyes, his smile was charming and charming as he had never seen before: "You?...Ha...if you really have the qualifications...it's not impossible~"

 Zhao Changhe was just teasing him as usual. He really didn't expect to get this answer. Suddenly, his whole body twitched and the Milky Way poured down. Unfortunately, there were no meteors this time.

Yue Hongling gasped and hugged his neck: "Why is it so fast today?"

 Zhao Changhe: “…”

"It's okay, he's already very powerful." Yue Hongling lay there softly, hugging him to prevent him from getting up: "Don't get up yet... I'm not used to being exposed to the stars... I feel like you were a little distracted just now?"

"Uh, uh... yes, I'm not used to it either." Zhao Changhe swallowed, and when he turned around to look, the blind man in the dream had disappeared, and there was no one around him. It was as if he was hallucinating.

Yue Hongling said: "I originally thought that the effect of dual cultivation with you was extremely good, but compared with that **** girl Sisi who relied on Gu to make a thousand, I suddenly felt that it was much worse. You are almost fine, and my muscles and bones still hurt now."

Zhao Changhe turned around and said: "It takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. The effect of dual cultivation on external injuries is indeed not as obvious as that on internal injuries... The reason why I recover quickly is that the blood demon's immortal body is more responsible. So your If you want to recover from bone injuries faster, you should go and see the witchcraft of the Eldar, which may have miraculous effects... But I don’t think it’s necessary to be in such a hurry. We still have a lot of things to digest here. For example, I just want to take a rest right now. After resting, we will go to the graveyard to have a look..."

Yue Hongling asked curiously: "Why are you going to the cemetery in the middle of the night?"

 “To feel the aura of the Infernal Corpse, which is strongest in the middle of the night.”

Yue Hongling knew that he was preparing for the next step, so she was free and easy and did not entangle her affection. She stood up and dressed: "Let's go and take a look with you. I fought with the Black Miao King and I also gained some insights. Maybe I can refer to it." "

 The heroine lady didn’t realize that she was being treated in a strange way, and Zhao Changhe didn’t dare to say...

The blind man held his arms and hung not far behind, looking at the two figures walking back to the graveyard hand in hand, with a vague sarcasm hanging on the corner of his mouth.

 Morality, haven’t you honestly studied the power of the Infernal Corpse?

As for whether to teach him about cause and effect... the blind man frowned slightly, a little confused.

Really, Xia Longyuan is even less educated, how can he practice by himself? You are a dignified college student, and your mind is either about muscles or dragons and birds. Do you want to save face...

 Still want to be my master?

 Go to **** first!

 …

“The corpse puppet’s body becomes steel and becomes powerful, which is a problem that has always puzzled me.”

Under the moonlight, the young couple walked on the graveyard. Yue Hongling looked at the bones around them and discussed in a low voice.

 During the day, there were many Eldar people burying the skeletons back here again, but they had not yet finished burying them. It's late at night, and no matter how bold the Spirit Clan people are, they don't dare to carry out this work at night, so they have to suspend it. As a result, the graveyard now looks even more horrifying than usual, with pits and pits everywhere, and a lot of soil that has not been compacted. You can still see the white bones exposed below, and some of the bones are even placed on the hillside, shining brightly under the moonlight.

Even though the two of them are talented and bold, they are not superstitious at all. Looking at this scene, it is inevitable that their scalp will feel a little numb.

 But it is precisely this scene that is particularly sinister, and it is like this when the so-called spirit of the corpse is at its strongest. If there is another person here who knows how to play with corpse puppets at this time, it might be another undead natural disaster.

After listening to Yue Hongling's lively words, Zhao Changhe said: "Don't you think the strangest thing is that a person who has been dead for so long and is clearly dead can still have his spiritual light revived? This is different from the ancient gods. The concept of the devil itself being resurrected before it is completely dead is different, these withered bones are really dead."

Yue Hongling said: "If what I think is correct, this is the so-called power of the Yin Corpse. This Yin Qi echoes to summon the undissipated soul fire that surrounds the corpse. The stronger the person, the more the undissipated soul fire. , the more they can think, the average skeleton can only act instinctively, which is consistent with what you and I have seen. The soul fire of the Black Miao King I saw can exist in any part of the body, not the spiritual platform we know. It can be seen that the spiritual platform It has long lost its original meaning, and the effect will be the same wherever it is placed.”

Zhao Changhe mentally looked at Yin Kui's skills in the Book of Heaven, compared them with Yue Hongling's statement, and said: "So this is not martial arts at all."

Yue Hongling smiled and said: "To use martial arts to understand the mysterious, martial arts is no more than a path, so why bother."

Zhao Changhe nodded, stopped next to a skeleton, and squatted down to inspect it.

In fact, the so-called lingering soul fire that Yue Hongling refers to is the dots of phosphorescence around the skull that can be seen with the naked eye. Modern people know that thing as phosphorus fire, and its essence has nothing to do with the soul. But Yue Hongling's conclusion based on this wrong premise may not be wrong, because the Qi of the Infernal Corpse does exist, and the strong man still had some obsessions buried in the ground and solidified before he was alive, and then gathered into the soul fire.

If you want to learn this corpse puppet method, you must first control the aura of the corpse, and secondly, find the obsession belonging to the corpse, etc., gather it into a soul fire, and then control it with your own brand... It is completely different from what everyone has learned. It's impossible to master it by studying it now, but you can definitely find out the reason why Jiuyou's abilities operate. If you know yourself and your enemy, you won't be caught off guard when dealing with it.

The blind man rushed into sleep, probably mainly to urge this point. It seems that the power of Jiuyou made the blind man nervous...

 Having said that, no wonder Jiuyou was beaten by the Night Emperor. Death, the corpse of the dead, and flames belong to Suzaku in the Yedi system. Suzaku was also studying this before he left the capital. It can be said that there is a clear dispute over the priesthood between the two parties. Even if we don't mention the "priesthood", there can only be one master of all things in the world. Ye Wujiang wants to compete with Feng Yin in terms of wind control, and he is also competing with Lie for the blood evil. How can Ye Di tolerate Jiuyou?

Of course, there are overlaps between the two sides, and there are also differences between them, such as annihilation and chaos. But no matter what, when facing Jiuyou in the future, Suzaku might be a more professional counterpart than him and go back to shake people up.

“What’s going on? Can we get something?” Yue Hongling asked as she squatted aside.

Zhao Changhe really felt warm, and Yue Hongling could clearly see that Yue Hongling was a little confused about this ghostly aura in the tombs, but he still stayed with him to bravely discuss it. He reached out and held Yue Hongling's slightly cold hand: "Based on the analysis of the Heavenly Book, your judgment is accurate. What we have to do now is to understand this Yin Qi, at least be able to see it, so that we can be prepared in the future..."

Yue Hongling said: "It is clear that the Yin Qi is cold, but what you see is flames; and the flames in the ground attract the snow in the sky. It is really mysterious. So is this fire considered the fire of the five elements?"

Zhao Changhe mentally took a look at the Heavenly Book of Five Elements of Nature, and suddenly his heart moved: "It is indeed the fire of the five elements, and it is Yin fire. And there are some other related things here, which are related to the question you asked at the beginning."

Yue Hongling was stunned for a moment. The original question... "You mean steel and giant strength?"

"Well, that is not entirely the result of the Corpse Puppet Cultivation Technique. It is the result of absorbing the golden energy in the ground over many years and turning it into steel. It absorbs the power of earth and becomes thick and powerful. Their Corpse Puppet Cultivation Technique is just to combine these. It was tamped down, just like a well-watered mold. Therefore, Yin Kui awakened countless skeletons and zombies without spending much effort on him, and most of that was not his fault."

Yue Hongling was about to speak but stopped. Zhao Changhe turned his head and glanced at her. Seeing the slightly troubled face of Miss Heroine, he smiled and said: "You originally thought that their strengthening model could be studied to strengthen your sword body? Then you thought it was for dead people. Yes, you can’t stand it?”

Yue Hongling shook his head: "What does my sword body have to do with this? I think it is suitable for you to use... Your forged body has always lacked protection, and you are injured every day..."

Zhao Changhe looked at her blankly and was speechless for a long time.

"Don't be so moved." Yue Hongling hummed, "It's for dead people, I, I..."

Zhao Changhe smiled brightly: "Then no need."

Yue Hongling originally felt that there was something wrong, but seeing how decisive Zhao Changhe was, her heart softened. She secretly thought that letting Zhao Changhe continue to weaken his defense because of this was putting the cart before the horse.

Zhao Changhe has already decided on the direction of upgrade before. If he wants to break through the defense, he must first improve the Blood Shura Body. The next improvement of the Blood Shura Body must make up for the lack of defense. This matter is very important. How can it be done just because of this? Just a small problem?

In order to find a reason for Zhao Changhe to study, Yue Hongling thought quickly and quickly found an explanation: "The idea of ​​​​introducing the energy of the five elements into the body cannot be said to be exclusive to the dead, right? Well... there should be many corresponding solutions in the world. School, I think their Buddhist Golden Bell Shield and the Shenhuang Sect’s body training might be used in this regard. If you have the Book of Heaven, you might be able to create another method!"

Zhao Changhe was about to forget it, but suddenly something happened in his heart, and he stood up with great joy: "Sister Yue, you are really my lucky star."

Yue Hongling was pulled up by him inexplicably, and he held her tightly in his arms and spun her around.

Yue Hongling didn't know why he was so happy, but the joyful emotion also made her laugh: "Okay, okay, it's just like a child. Tell me what you think of?"

Zhao Changhe smiled but did not answer: "Basically, we know the power of the Yin Corpse and the Qi of Metal and Earth. Don't stay here all the time. It's very infiltrative. Go back and rest. Your bone injury is not healed, so you'd better take good care of yourself."

Yue Hongling had been learning how to control the wind for a day. It was now midnight, and her bone injury had indeed started to hurt a little, so she was not polite, hugged Zhao Changhe's neck and jumped: "Carry me."

Zhao Changhe picked her up on his back in an obedient manner, and the couple went down the mountain laughing.

The blind man curled his lips and looked at the backs of the two old couples who still looked youthful. He suddenly thought maliciously, you didn't clean up after finishing before. Is your crotch sticky now?

 Forget it, it’s better not to ask. If you ask that guy, you can only imagine what he will use to clean it up.

 …

 If you want to ask, just ask this:

"Have you mastered the spirit of the Infernal Corpse, or have you found a way to complete your blood Shura body? Inexplicably, you smiled like a flower, and you didn't even look at the grave."

Yue Hongling was already lying on the bed and fell asleep in the secluded house, warmed by a fire pot. Zhao Changhe was sitting by the window warming up the wine, seemingly enjoying himself, when suddenly the blind man's question came to his ears.

Zhao Changhe raised his eyes and saw a blind man standing in front of him with his arms folded. He couldn't help but be a little curious: "I said that when you usually show up, am I the only one who can see you?"

The blind man said calmly: "Whoever I want to see can see it. When I don't want to, no one can see it."

"Tsk, don't be so stiff..." Zhao Changhe poured a pot of hot wine and handed it over: "Can you, a spirit like you, drink it?"

 The blind man was startled: "What are you doing?"

“Let’s talk.” Zhao Changhe smiled and said, “After all, hot wine can be decomposed into energy. I think you can drink it. Here.”

With the words, he flicked his hand, and the wine bowl floated steadily to the blind man.

The blind man caught it casually, thought for a while, and simply sat on the chair opposite him. There was a small coffee table between the two of them, and they both leaned lazily and drank.

Zhao Changhe finished his drink and turned to look at the blind man drinking. He felt an inexplicable and strange feeling in his heart.

The blind man let out a breath and suddenly laughed: "I haven't had a drink for a long time...it's interesting."

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "It's good. At least you and I are acquaintances who have known each other for more than two years, drinking and talking, instead of a superior thing pretending to guess riddles every day."

The blind man sneered: "Aren't you the one who is the Riddler now?"

"The energy of the Infernal Corpse cannot be detected in a short time, but if you have a firm idea in your mind, you can always see it if you think about it for a few days. At least this one of the few things you asked me to study is being completed. You can't do everything. If you achieve it in one go, you should take your time..."

 “Huh…” The blind man sipped his wine and did not answer.

Zhao Changhe also took a leisurely sip of wine and said: "As for the Blood Shura Body, I really have an idea."

The blind man said: "Your so-called idea is that if you practice double cultivation with this generation of white tigers, you can master gold, right?"

"I have that idea, but not now. I have obtained the East Ji Dao Fruit, so my knowledge of the Green Dragon Law is far better than others. Bai Hu has not kept up with me in this regard... Even if I want to borrow her insights, it is not enough."

 “Then what are you happy about?”

"The reason why I attack the strong and defend the weak is, firstly, due to the tactics of fighting, and secondly, the muscle composition formed by physical training has its own biases. My bias is towards strength and attack, while Shenhuang Sect and the others are more biased toward resisting beatings. When muscles and blood are used, The composition of the body has been finalized, which makes it difficult for even turtles to teach me how to defend." Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "Since the elements can change their own composition by introducing gold and earth into the body, can we change our thinking and introduce Can you order something else?"

 The blind man's expression moved slightly.

"The place we are in belongs to the Spiritual Clan, and Lie comes from the Spiritual Clan. He definitely doesn't talk about the Five Elements when it comes to body training... If he needs to introduce things into the body to temporarily change the muscle composition and switch from offense to defense, then what he introduces is What?" Zhao Changhe laughed and said: "It can only be a beast or a Gu. I am in the ancestral land of Lie, why should I ride on a donkey to look for a donkey? The great achievement of the Blood Shura Body is still here!"

 The blind man stopped talking and lowered his head to sip his wine, acknowledging that he was right. If you take a strenuous exercise regimen, this is the right answer.

 It should be said that this guy is indeed very smart, but unfortunately he is the smartest in his muscles.

Zhao Changhe squinted his eyes and looked at the side face of the blind man Ruyu, and suddenly said: "The Jin Zhiyu I mentioned just now... She has been stuck on the creation of the white tiger. Should she also go west at the right time? ?”

The blind man said casually: "The white tiger of the West is naturally in the west. Is this a question?"

Zhao Changhe said: "When I was watching Yinhuo just now, I thought about asking Suzaku to come here to deal with Jiuyou, and now I thought about asking White Tiger to come here too. The so-called 'Suzaku and White Tiger gather in the southwest wilderness' is actually related in this way. Oh...could it be that this sentence does not necessarily refer to time, but really represents the people related to the four images and five elements?"

The blind man said: "Because you thought of the Vermillion Bird and the White Tiger coming here from different things, it proves that the proverb is related to this? Did you learn your logic from the concierge? Where is the logical chain in the middle?"

“This is how I used to investigate cases before, starting from a preset result and working backward to verify it.”

“You usually have good luck in investigating cases, not to mention the inference this time is even more outrageous. That’s called brainstorming, not verification.”

"Then if I have to deduce the cause from such a sentence, how do I need to verify it? Do I need to find other relevant clues, such as why Yin Kui knows the secrets of the Spirit Clan, to prove that Jiuyou should have something to do with this matter? After all the clues are sorted out, the truth will come out?"

"Don't you understand very well..." The blind man felt that he was talking nonsense like one plus one equals two, and said casually: "There must be a linear connection between cause and effect, rather than cause and effect out of thin air. As long as you grasp the line in the middle , so whether you want to trace the effect from the cause, trace the effect from the effect, or even reverse the effect into the cause, or even cut off the cause and effect, the article is here."

"So this line is a logical chain in reality, and it can be realized, seen, and controlled in practice." Zhao Changhe suddenly stood up from the table, cupped his hands, bowed slightly, and saluted: "Thank you for your guidance on cause and effect. way."

 “Pfft…” The blind man spit out a sip of wine and was dumbfounded for a moment.

This seems to be... Although it is said in a superficial way, it really explains the basic essence.

 I truly taught him the practice of cause and effect!

What on earth am I here to drink and what the **** am I asking?

Looking at Zhao Changhe's smiling face, the blind man had no expression on his face. After a while, he said: "You were very happy before, but you were so happy that you found a way to trick me?"

"Because you want me to make progress, you fell into this trap. This is cause and effect." Zhao Changhe became serious: "Thank you."

 The blind man was about to speak but stopped.

 This is a hammer karma, I hope you will make progress!
