The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 766: Spiritual Thought Travel

Looking at Huangfu Qing's expression, he was very excited. It seemed that he was really thinking about this matter when he was distracted before.

There is no problem with her identity. If it is not appropriate for the Queen Mother to go on an expedition, she can continue to use Suzaku. Anyway, the politics and religion are now unified. As long as the stinky apprentice is appointed, the venerable can directly become a general. There was a time when I felt that the vest was useless, but now it is becoming more useful.

 As for being a little rusty after not being in the army for a long time, that’s not a problem. Zhao Changhe is the one who really knows nothing, but everyone from top to bottom thinks that he should be the head coach. Anyway, he mainly listens to others. After all, she has a very good foundation in Huangfu Qing, and after getting to know her, she will definitely be a lot more suitable than Zhao Changhe.

In terms of familiarity and tacit understanding with the main generals in the army, Zhao Changhe is only more familiar with Cui Yuanyong than himself. Huangfu Shaozong is his own younger brother, so he is much more familiar with him. In fact, there is still a main force of the Blood God Sect, which was originally her Suzaku subordinate, but was poached by the stinky pig. Now it is too smooth to take it back. It's just that the other generals at all levels still have to continue to get familiar with each other. In the past few days, they should go to the military camp to meet with their superiors, take over military power, and become familiar with various affairs. They spend all their time in the military camp.

 Although she lost the rare opportunity to celebrate the New Year with a man, Huangfuqing felt that it was more suitable for her.

Just when I was wondering whether I should nominate myself, or whether I would be refuted by the stinky apprentice and Tang Wanzhuang, and I would lose face, Zhao Changhe finally brought it up.

 He can really consider everyone's thoughts now, and he is becoming more and more a qualified core.

The effect of his mention was naturally different from that of Huangfu Qing's own mention. At least others would not refute face, but would only consider it from the perspective of appropriateness and inappropriateness. After thinking about it like this, his eyes became brighter, and suddenly he felt a sense of "giving up". "Who else is she?" feeling.

There are other veteran and famous generals in the court, but this kind of war obviously involves a battle to control the environment, and others really can't resist this flag. If the Han Dynasty is the most prestigious person on the Heavenly Ranking, it is not Zhao Changhe, but actually Suzaku. She has been powerful in the world for so many years and has a higher prestige than Xuanwu.

"It's my mother's turn to go." Xia Chichi exchanged glances with Tang Wanzhuang, and found that Tang Wanzhuang was also nodding, so she decided directly: "I will draft the edict in a few minutes, and the appointment will be made in public tomorrow morning. In fact, my mother will do it in the afternoon. You can go to the military camp and let Shaozong take you around first."

This stinky apprentice is more like Tang Wanzhuang now, so you two can get along well with each other, right? Huangfu Qing is too lazy to care, and his apprentice is useless, but at least he has a man. She bit her lower lip and looked at Zhao Changhe with charming eyes.

  I'll be very busy recently...I'll reward you later.

 …

　　It is said to be a family banquet, but in fact the conversation is all about state affairs, as if all the world's major events can be covered by just chatting at the family dinner table. However, in fact, many details cannot be discussed at the dinner table, such as troop dispatch routes, etc., which must be discussed and studied by the generals.

The meal, which he didn't know should be considered a family banquet or a state banquet, was over. Huangfu impatiently took Xia Chichi to draft a decree. Xia Chichi, who wanted to talk to the man he had reunited with after a long separation, was helplessly pulled away.

 Because he was still sitting next to the head of the house while eating, he felt that he had reached the peak of his life and was still giggling. Baoqin was also snatched away by his own lady. Tang Wanzhuang had endured it for a long time and could not afford to lose that person. I expected you to output, but the result was just a giggle. His Majesty probably burst out laughing, thinking that this was the opponent sitting at the same table.

In the end, Zhao Changhe took Yue Hongling to visit the palace and went to the Ancestral Temple to watch the stars together.

“You are such an open-minded person and have no hostility towards others. Why do you glare at Chichi?” The two of them seemed to be taking a walk after dinner, and Zhao Changhe also asked casually.

Yue Hongling also answered casually: "Everyone has one or two people who don't match each other, what's so strange about it. I was thinking before, if it weren't for you, this guy and I would have been lifelong enemies, but she became the emperor inexplicably. , seems to be invincible."

"According to the concept of martial arts we learned before, you and the Four Symbols are in opposition but can be combined, and are ultimately one. Even if you have some conflicts with Chi Chi, you may eventually make up, whether with or without me."

“Perhaps. How about the causal line of your Qi?”

"I can't see anything so clear. The causal line in my eyes now can only be seen as the feeling that 'these two people have a very deep relationship and will have a strong fate in the future', but I can't see it more concretely. This This means that everyone at the table looks the same." Zhao Changhe said: "If you look at it based on the Qi pulse, Chi Chi's dragon Qi is very strong now. The country is really secure. Even if this battle is not won, it probably won't be. The kind that will lead to destruction.”

 “Then you won’t tell her? It will make everyone worried.”

"You can't tell people randomly, otherwise you will easily become slack...I have to tell myself that my hope is not reliable."

Yue Hongling smiled and did not answer.

Zhao Changhe sighed and said: "The training time is too short, I feel like I have to learn everything and just try everything. Including space, I obviously need to study it very much, but I always put it aside. It's better for you to focus on the sword and the path will be clear."

Yue Hongling said: "Actually, it's the same. Before, I was studying Qi with you, in order to spread my sword intention and transform the sword into thousands. Now I also want to study space, so that my sword can pass through the obstacles of space. , omnipresent. Thousands of ways are just for the sword to be more effective, and you should do the same. Now you have long been freed from the restrictions of the Blood Fiend Sword Technique, and you are cutting the stars with the sword. All bypasses are for this sword. With your performance, you won’t feel that there are too many other things to focus on. In the final analysis, it is just for that knife.”

 Zhao Changhe nodded and said with a smile: "Yes."

As he spoke, he had already walked to the Ancestral Temple. Zhao Changhe took Yue Hongling's hand and entered: "If you want to understand the space, this is the place to go. I also want to try more this time to see how much I can improve after the imperial realm."

Yue Hongling followed him inside and looked at the stars under the ground, feeling quite shocked.

This is the first time she has seen such a way to condense the world into one place in her home. She can observe and even reach any place in the world without leaving home.

What Xia Longyuan was chasing was obviously the blind man's footsteps. He couldn't rely entirely on his own strength for the time being, so he created such a secret realm to assist. In essence, it was very close to the blind man's ability. When he took this step, he did not rely on the secret realm. If you can be everywhere by yourself, then you can become the second blind man.

In the past, Zhao Changhe could only feel the meaning of the stars here, and could not do anything else. After all, there was no breaking of the emperor at that time, and the Yin Shen was not solidified, let alone released outside the body. And now it seems possible to give it a try...

Yue Hongling wanted to comprehend something different from him. The two of them never got tired of being together, sitting cross-legged on a high platform to comprehend their own things.

The blind man crossed his arms and looked at them coldly. In fact, the relationship between the two of them was that of pure confidants. They walked in the same path of martial arts and chivalry, and worked hand in hand. It was quite comfortable to watch. But if time is pushed forward, before Zhao Changhe got Yue Hongling, Bo Xun asked him what the desire in his heart was.

Is it also Yue Hongling with half-undressed clothes and a gentle smile?

　　　Even though we know that we are compatible, the same thing still comes to mind, and the man is really embarrassed. Only when you have an old husband and wife can you return to your true nature.

Zhao Changhe didn't know that he had been slandered by the blind man. At this moment, his mind had long been immersed in the underground sky.

The first thing to be tested is that now that there are Yin gods, like the so-called demon gods, they can survive without relying on the body. Naturally, they can travel outside. With the help of this sky, can they achieve the divine descent like Xia Longyuan? Thousands of miles away?

Having already mastered the corresponding positions between the sky and the earth, Zhao Changhe did not dare to go too far. He hesitated and pointed at a certain location.

During the Chinese New Year, Xue Canghai was killing pigs and sheep with a group of Blood God cultists in the military camp. He drank heavily and his voice was so loud that he almost floated into the city: "I have long seen the potential of the Holy Son. Back then, when I chased him, then Is it a pursuit? It’s to help him hone his skills! Lao Sun, don’t you think so?”

Professor Sun said: "Yes, yes, yes."

You **** near killed me at that time...it was because I was lost in the river's attack, so I had the nerve to help him sharpen...

"What's your tone?" Xue Canghai glanced at him dissatisfied: "Isn't it obvious enough? It was because I knew that Yue Hongling was related to the Holy Son that I let her go. Isn't it obvious?"

 All congregants: “…”

Xue Canghai said: "Today is the Chinese New Year, and each person will receive a red envelope of fifty yuan."

"...I just said that the leader made it too obvious at that time!" The voice was thin.

"That's right." Xue Canghai drank proudly: "Later, I knew that sooner or later, Venerable Suzaku would also be a member of the Holy Son, so I directly voted for the Holy Son. I was not afraid of Venerable Suzaku saying he was betraying me. Do you think I should accept it? In the past, I didn’t dare to breathe when I saw the Venerable Suzaku, but now everyone can hold their heads high and see her, right? We are the direct subordinates of the Holy Son, and the Venerable Suzaku must also give him face!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Suddenly a person floated next to him and sat next to him naturally: "Old Xue, let's have a drink."

"Where did this unruly bastard...the Holy Son come from?" Xue Canghai dropped the wine bowl in his hand: "How did you show up?"

Zhao Changhe caught the bowl he dropped and was a little surprised himself.

Being able to catch the bowl means that the soul is solidified... Things that were once difficult to explain can be solved. So long ago, you can feel the jade-like body of the blind man's delicate hands. It is indeed not the blind man's own body, but a manifestation of the solidified soul.

After trying it for a while, although I could actually catch the bowl, I couldn't seem to eat or drink, so I gave up and stuffed it back into Xue Canghai's hand with a smile: "Old Xue, I wish you a happy new year. Not just me, you will also see the Reverend Suzaku soon, I hope I can still be as strong-willed by then.”

After saying that, he bowed his hands to Sun Jiaoxi and paid New Year greetings, then disappeared.

　　Xue Canghai: “?”

Turning around to look, Sun Jiaoxi and the other Blood God cultists also had their mouths wide open, as if they were in a dream. It seems that this is not a hallucination...is this...the arrival of God?

Xue Canghai was so frightened that he woke up from the wine. I didn’t say anything bad about you, I was just bragging behind your back, so what?

Before everyone woke up from their dementia, there was a bustle outside the camp gate, and the guard was saluting: "General Huangfu."

Huangfu Shaozong's voice came: "I'll bring the coach to see everyone."

Xue Canghai looked out in confusion and saw Suzaku wearing soft armor and her mask, following Huangfu Shaozong leisurely in.

"General Xue." Huangfu Shaozong greeted him very familiarly: "This is the Reverend Zhuque of the state religion. From tomorrow on, the Reverend will be our general and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition. Today, I will come to recognize the camp and wish you all a happy new year." . Oh, by the way, you should be very familiar with the Reverend? I remember that you used to be under the command of the Reverend Suzaku..."

Suzaku stared at Xue Canghai with half-smiling eyes: "Master Xue, you are well."

　　Xue Canghai dropped the wine bowl he had just brought back.

 Who said just now that he met her with his head held high and his chest high, he became his immediate boss again in the blink of an eye? I'm just bragging, what about you...

Zhao Changhe's spirit has not yet left. He is looking at Suzaku from the side, his eyes filled with amazement.

 She actually has her own armor, she is indeed from a general family. Suzaku, who is dressed in silver soft armor and wearing a fiery red cape, is so handsome... She actually has a gun in her hand. This is the first time Zhao Changhe has seen Suzaku with a weapon in his hand. It was the weapon that had been buried by the female tiger for thirty years. His battlefield bloodline began to awaken today.

Suzaku's eyes also glanced at the direction of Zhao Changhe and smiled slightly.

 Others cannot see him, how can Suzaku not see him? The little man is actually capable of magic...

The adulterer and the adulterer looked at each other from afar. Zhao Changhe blinked his eyes and made a pout gesture. Suzaku made a serious face, and Zhao Changhe ran away.

This kind of experience is really interesting and can even lead to an affair.

It's a pity that there are too many people here, and we don't want to cause trouble to Suzaku's first day of patrolling the military camp, so let's forget it.

A simple test can tell that the separation of Yin Shen from the body is a relatively dangerous state. I can feel the feeling of zero defense. The essence of the body is the armor of the spirit. If there is a spiritual platform to protect it, others will not be able to invade it. I will run naked. It would be extremely dangerous to come out. Although it seems that physical attacks cannot cause damage to the Yinshen, none of the current opponents knows a little bit about the soul. Once the soul is injured, the injury is much more serious than physical damage.

 So the Immortal God was beaten by Lao Xia and his soul exploded. From the physical point of view, it was much more difficult to endure than the physical injury. He probably has not recovered yet. This is probably the reason why Bo'e was at a disadvantage in the struggle with Timur. Under the competition between military power and religious power, Bo'e was originally backed by gods and had a high status in the grassland. To mediate conflicts between various ministries, Timur had to give face to hundreds of thousands of troops. Now that the gods are healing in hiding and can't stand on the stage, Bo'e can't speak as loudly as before.

 This is also one of the main reasons why everyone plans to take the initiative in the Northern Expedition. The interior of the grassland is not as stable as before, so there will be no movement in the short term. Once a demon **** like the Eternal God, who is obviously at the second level of control, is completely revived, the trouble will be much greater.

By the way, that is a split soul. Is this the difference between the first level and the second level of Yujing? I can achieve the separation of Yinshen from the body, but I can never separate my soul for two uses. If I go from single-core to multi-core, is it a breakthrough in the second level? If we go from multi-core to infinite incarnation, is it the third level of blindness?

 The path of gods and demons can be known.

Zhao Changhe's mind moved again, and when he reappeared, he was already at the main hall of the Demon Suppressing Division.

Tang Wanzhuang was instructing his subordinates to distribute the lists they had compiled before and ask them to search for them one by one. Baoqin was sniffing and copying books in the corner.

Zhao Changhe came over and took a look. He was copying The West Chamber. He seemed to be copying it for the second time. It seemed that he was punished for copying. He didn’t know how many times he was punished.

 Zhao Changhe looked a little strange, and he roughly realized what this meant.

Even though it was Wan Zhuang who deliberately gave Bao Qin a chance, looking at it from another angle, it was Bao Qin who was using this book to force her into the palace, "blatantly competing with the young lady for her uncle"... Wan Zhuang was the one who gave Bao Qin a slight punishment behind her back. You love reading The West Chamber, right? Copy it ten times!

This spirit travels and sees everyone’s things beyond what they see. It’s so fun.

Seeing that Wan Zhuang was working and people were coming and going in the hall, Zhao Changhe didn't bother him any more. He had already arrived at the imperial study room when his thoughts moved again.

Xia Chichi is also working at her desk. Unlike Tang Wanzhuang who is doing specific things, she is reviewing memorials, reading money and food reports, thinking about personnel in the court, and paying attention to the upcoming Spring Festival.

　　It is said that now Xia Chichi and Tang Wanzhuang are more from the same country, of course they are...

 The king and his ministers are united and working hard for this country.

Zhao Changhe appeared: "On the first day of the New Year, I just had dinner... I still have to rest when I need to."

Xia Chichi raised her head in shock and rubbed her eyes: "Am I too tired and hallucinating?"

"No, just learn from your father's method of descending from the gods." Zhao Changhe stepped forward and arched his buttocks to signal Xia Chichi to move away a little. Xia Chichi also moved a little away and saw Zhao Changhe sitting down next to her, holding her waist and sharing a chair together.

Zhao Changhe slightly flipped through the various documents on the table and sighed: "Okay, things are not that urgent. What's the point of giving yourself a day off? Besides, there are some matters that are not left alone in the court. For example, the Spring Festival. Let them arrange the matter and take a look at the report at the end. See, this is still a draft. Why do you care so much about it from the draft?"

Xia Chichi said: "After all, this is our first scientific examination for civilians. We have no experience. We all came here through consultation... I don't have to take care of other things in such detail."

Having said that, she finally stopped caring about the things on the table and leaned into Zhao Changhe's arms: "Besides, there are a group of vixens surrounding me. What can I do? I might as well work."

“I’m not here to have an affair with you...”

“My majestic emperor, do you want to have an affair?”

Zhao Changhe kissed her ear beads: "Do you want it?"

Xia Chichi gasped, and her voice became soft: "I want..."

Zhao Changhe continued to kiss and caress with his hands.

Xia Chichi leaned comfortably in his arms and chirped: "I am happy to think that you ran away from Yue Hongling to steal. Forget about other foxy girls. She, Yue Hongling, claims to be an upright knight and lives among a group of women. The harem also doesn’t blush, it’s so natural.”

"Decent is not rigid. Hong Ling is free and easy. In fact, she is not very entangled in these things. She is more thinking about her swordsmanship. Those who often sit in and say nothing are also studying the swordsmanship. You don't have to worry about it. She's so hostile."

"Who is more hostile to whom... She pointed the sword at me, but I didn't point it at her."

“After all, it’s just old sesame seeds and rotten millet things. You two are free and easy people, why can’t you remember these things endlessly?”

"Because... that was the first time since we can remember that we were competing with other women for a man..." Xia Chichi gasped a little as he caressed her: "You, what can you do with a body like yours? I want it."

Zhao Changhe felt embarrassed. He couldn't do it because the soul body didn't have that ability.

But there is a way. If the souls of both parties are intertwined, then it is ok, just like the last time I accidentally intertwined with Yue Hongling and Huangfu Qing.

His figure slowly faded away and entered Xia Chichi's mourning platform: "You haven't broken the barrier yet, let me see if I can help you."

 In Xia Chichi's sea of ​​​​consciousness, a girl sat there holding her knees, blinking as she looked at the intruding man.

The blind man looked at it and got goosebumps for no reason.
