The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 794 The Second Level of Exploration

 The ceremony lasted for one day and one night.

 Huangfu Yongxian cut a stone on the top of the mountain and engraved the achievements of everyone this time. He left his son outside the Great Wall to live a hard life, and led thousands of garrison troops to continue suppressing the various tribes and assisting Batu in establishing the vassal state. The remaining troops gradually followed suit.

Hmm, I don’t know whether I should count it as a hard day, a local bully, or a hard life. Everything is always hard at the beginning. But as long as he can do it well, Huangfu Shaozong can really shake the grassland and become the most solid spear and shield in the northern part of the Han Dynasty.

After getting married and exploiting the man for a whole day, Huangfu had no regrets anymore. She did not continue to pester her, and she went back to the court with her teacher radiantly. She was a little anxious to show off to Tang Wanzhuang... Even if it was the sharp-tongued person this time Li's maid must have turned red with anger.

Yue Hongling is also traveling with her. She wants to go to the headquarters of the Four Elephants Sect to see if the White Tiger Classics is really suitable for her.

Everyone wanted to do what they wanted, and they all tacitly agreed to give Sanniang, who had been eating sand outside the Great Wall for several months, some time alone.

 Mainly because of the overwhelming power of faith here, it has no effect on Yue Hongling. She is not interested in this. It's not obvious that it would be useful to Huangfu Qing. Although she has the power of faith, she doesn't really rely on this practice, it's just for auxiliary purposes. Therefore, staying here to practice is of less value to them.

 But for Sanniang, the energy of this place is sweet rain.

 Due to the presence of the Poseidon, she is the most typical in the power of faith, several times more typical than Zhao Changhe. The fact that her practice has reached such a level that even Zhao Changhe feels that she is the best in the world is inseparable from the endless faith of millions of sea people.

This time, Zhao Changhe, the one who was seriously injured, has not recovered well yet, and Sanniang was also seriously injured, so the two of them hid in a secret place to absorb the power of faith and practice dual cultivation for treatment.

"What's wrong?" Afterwards, Zhao Changhe was lying on the thick clouds. Two turtles on his left and right lay on his body and drew circles. The circle drawing movements were very synchronized, one was clockwise and the other was counterclockwise.

However, there was another Sanniang lying naked on the ground with her eyes spinning in circles. It seemed that she had been knocked unconscious before. The snake body was actually not willing to be outdone to help the turtle take revenge...

"Probably not. Those are due to my lack of understanding. Dual cultivation alone is the same as taking drugs alone. It cannot help you understand. I see that your two bodies are clearly separated now. They can be used as two people. They are not separated yet. Lowering your combat power... means that your enlightenment should be enough. The only thing missing is the accumulation of energy. Logically speaking, as long as you reach the threshold, you can pass directly. So what is missing?"

“I mean showing off for you, are you willing to do those postures yourself?”

Not only do you need to use it, but you also need to study it deeply and develop the feeling that two bodies exist independently and can even be practiced separately.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Turtle Turtle was furious: "You've almost had enough, Sao Hoo!"

 In fact, even Snake Body himself didn’t know whether Turtle was knocked unconscious or was just lazily sleeping.

If Yue Hongling saw it, she would probably complain - How did you have the nerve to say that Suzaku cooked it? Look what are you doing now?

This is not a Xuanwu. This is clearly a demon snake. There is a strange and dangerous light in the eyes, and the tongue that occasionally licks the corner of the lips... It really makes people's hearts tremble when they see it. I am sure why she would He is a demon sect venerable.

This time both of them knew exactly how to use the clone.

　　　“I…I will accept it if you join in.”

Not to mention the difficulty of the posture, not many people can do it just because of the fever.

“I don’t know what the near miss is.” The main body Turtle said lazily: “Perhaps it’s a cliché that you can’t break through the level by just relying on dual cultivation and trickery?”

The duality of tortoise and snake, which is seductive, agile and calm and lazy. Zhao Changhe once regarded Sanniang as the most complicated, but now it is not that complicated because it can be separated.

 Pangmao Jingchun obtained the power of faith and turned it into energy. Through the spirit gathering formation and the double cultivation technique, it continuously entered the bodies of both parties and went back and forth. Zhao Changhe could almost feel that Sanniang's second level of imperial realm was close in front of him, and he was only one step away.

The man stood, with the enchanting snake body wrapped around the man, tightly, and the legs were crossed to clamp it tightly around the man's waist, and it moved on its own.

 “It just means that you haven’t done enough yet.” Snake Body smiled and hugged him: “Are you okay?”

 The way of avatar has become more and more mature.

Since they are practiced separately...then the dual cultivation must also be practiced separately. So it’s not that we have to play around with emotions, this is a necessary step in spiritual practice, to be sure.

“Do I need your help to bear the burden? It’s obviously your own responsibility!”

The snake body was also furious: "You know how much trouble I took on for you, lazy turtle, and then I turned my back on you!"

“Isn’t that also because of my factor? Is it because of you, a lazy turtle?”

 “I am the real body, please show some respect.”

 “Are you going to fight? Let’s see who is the main body and who is the master and who is the slave!”

“Bang bang bang bang!” Two delicate hands drawing circles began to fight on the man’s chest.

Zhao Changhe watched the two San Niangs quarreling and fighting in stunned silence, feeling that his brain was running out.

You can also split your soul, but the split soul is definitely under your control. It is just a distraction. It is absolutely impossible for two independent minds to quarrel and get into a fight. The way Guigui looks like this isn't just an act, it's really two minds arguing. Who would believe it if you say you haven't reached the threshold of becoming a clone yet? Why don't you break through directly?

 Is it really true that the dual cultivation is not in place?

"Bang!" The agility and changeability of the snake's body was defeated by the immobility of the turtle's body. It did not break the defense at all. Instead, it was knocked back and its hands were numb.

The turtle was proudly across, and pressed the division under his body: "Are you a little beauty, who is the Lord?"

 The clone begs for mercy: "You are the Lord..."

Turtle kissed me happily: "Be good."

Zhao Changhe opened his mouth and closed it again.

 What is this called, attacking oneself and suffering one's own consequences?

However, the scene of self-inflicted attack and self-inflicted pain did not happen. After Sanniang kissed her, ripples of light appeared on her two bodies and they quickly merged into one body. Sanniang smiled and dominated the man, hugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Is it fun?"

 Zhao Changhe asked: "Are you playing?"

“Not entirely. After I allowed the thoughts of the two bodies to emerge, it naturally appeared like this. I also intentionally controlled the main body more, otherwise the main body would be too lazy to talk to her, and both parties would evolve the two personalities to extremes.”

Zhao Changhe felt a little worried when he heard this: "Will this cause schizophrenia?"

"The powerful power of the soul can guarantee that it will not split and is always controllable...but if I suffer related injuries, it is hard to say. Maybe this worry is the key to my inability to break through the second level? It is not decisive enough to break the boat."

Zhao Changhe frowned, and what he suddenly thought of was another pair.

 Are they... sisters?

 In fact, even sisters, looking at the two directions of heaven and earth, are very similar to Sanniang.

The reason why Sanniang has this kind of avatar method is that the inheritance of the Four Symbols Sect is nothing more than the inheritance of Ye Di, and the blind man's condition is probably related to this.

 So she was decisively divided into two directions?

Zhao Changhe's heart twitched and he said decisively: "Don't think about that kind of determination. It must be controllable. It must be controllable. The second threshold definitely does not need to go to this step. According to what our Zhao Cuo said, 'kill three corpses' But on the road to sanctification, your current situation is not impossible.”

“Behead three corpses?” Sanniang touched her chin: “What do you mean?”

"There are many sayings, and they mostly refer to the good and evil self." "This statement is like Taoism, but it's different for me. It's just two sides of my personality... Of course, it's hard to say if it evolves to the extreme..." Sanniang thought. Liao Xiang smiled and said: "Who is going to separate good from evil? They are one. If they are separated, are they still human?"

 “So that’s God.”

"Gods are also human beings." Sanniang said lazily, "I won't do that kind of stupid thing. Good and evil are one, the tortoise and the snake are one. If one is missing, it's not me. Only a fool can tell the difference."

Zhao Changhe secretly thought that your words may have scolded your Ye Emperor, but Sanniang’s words also made him feel more at ease. He smiled and said: “Yes, let’s think about it slowly, we will definitely make it, don’t imitate that kind of thing.”

 Speaking of which, if we have to deal with the blind man and Jiuyou in the future, this may be a clue... Sanniang's here is just for preparatory research.

 Everything has a cause and effect.

Of course, I had no interest in explaining to him the knife I had used to crush the vulture's fangs... In terms of strength, my unhealed injury at the time was actually not as good as the vulture's fangs, but that knife had already used the power of cause and effect that I had newly researched. With his power, he suppressed the cause and effect that he had previously suppressed in a "repayable" situation. This was so mysterious that Vulture Hunting Tooth didn't even understand it, and was suppressed inexplicably.

This thing... still has a lot of potential.

 The karma between the blind man and himself is so strong that it will come in handy sooner or later.

Sanniang asked: "What about you? I see that you are thinking about my clone, and you also want to get a glimpse of the second person's experience. Do you want to give it a try? It's not difficult."

“First of all, I don’t have two obviously opposite personalities…”

"You have it. When you are a gentleman, you are very gentlemanly, but when you are lustful, you are just like a gangster. You are enthusiastic about all kinds of tricks. You even accompany the coquettish snake to study the future, how shameless."

“…I think you’re not uninterested…”

"Um?"

"Ahem... should I take the body of a pervert and leave the body of a monk?"

Sanniang was horrified: “That’s not possible, absolutely not.”

"That's it." Zhao Changhe said lazily: "Besides, I don't play clones. It's uncomfortable to see someone who is exactly like me doing things under my identity, no matter what. You said you Both bodies will quarrel, isn’t it the same thing?”

Sanniang laughed: "That's true. I do feel uncomfortable seeing my clone playing with you... But it's okay. I don't even care if I'm with Qing'er, and it doesn't matter if I'm my own clone. But if you put it that way, I can do it too It’s understanding.”

“So the most I accept is that the souls are omnipresent, and that’s all under my control...” Zhao Changhe said, with stars dotted around him, and a gem that constructed the formation made a sound: “Hello?”

Soon another stone also made a sound: "Hey!"

Then one after another, the green mountains in the distance also made a sound: "Hi!"

 Wherever the soul reaches, what you see is where you are. Everything in the world has its soul, and everything is its own shadow.

I once tested the soul splitting in the underground sky, and I got a splitting headache after just one try, but now after a long period of repeated training, it is so easy.

 It means that he has made great strides towards the second level, and it is time to make research and breakthroughs.

Sanniang looked at this scene and said to herself: "You should have no obstacles. It's just the difference in scope."

“Yes, it is an accumulation from quantitative change to qualitative change. There seems to be no clear threshold. My first priority now is to absorb all the faith energy here and see if it is enough.”

“If this is the case, I suggest you come here in a different way. Don’t you get tired of hiding here every day and practicing dual cultivation...”

“Never get tired of it.” Zhao Changhe touched it and said, “I will never get tired of it in my life.”

"Bah." Sanniang stood up and dressed, and said with a smile: "There is a secret realm over there in the vast sea where Timur rose to prominence. Aren't you interested in taking a look? At least Fifth Brother asked me to take a look. You have to take a look to find out.”

Zhao Changhe also thought of this, stood up and said with a smile: "Then go and have a look. By the way, is this the Beihai that your Xuanwu corresponds to?"

"No, the one I correspond to is actually farther north. The Xuanwu corpse is over there. I got the inheritance and ascended to the position of Xuanwu Venerable. I don't need to think too much about it."

"It turns out that there is also the Arctic Ocean here..." So everyone has seen Qinglong Xuanwu's body. It is estimated that Suzaku's body is the Nanming Lihuo position that he sensed in the underground sky before. There is a high probability that the soul turned into fire... This is all death It is clear that Nanming Lihuo can be used by him to forge swords remotely, which shows that he has no master.

Only the white tiger has no clue whether it is the body or the inheritance. The ancient white tiger that appeared inexplicably is not inexplicable now that we think about it. It is because everyone has ignored it.

Sanniang said: "The White Tiger thing reminds us... Over at Zhuque, I told Qing'er that she still has to go and take a look. The chance of her breaking through to the second level is probably there. You don't have to worry. There should be no danger." .”

"And you?"

"The only thing I missed in the Xuanwu inheritance is the part of Huangshaji Rock Mountain. I guess it was because Xuanwu passed by before his death and deliberately separated the inheritance related to Ye Emperor so as not to mix it with my own... It was also because it was temporarily hidden separately. , so there isn’t any danger, it’s just a simple stone formation... As a result, I stationed there and searched for it for several years but couldn’t find it, so I finally gave you an advantage.”

 “I’m cheap, so I’m cheap for you.”

 “What I’m saying is that even I have taken advantage of you...”

　　　…”

The two of them chatted all the way while riding on the Wuzui, and leisurely flew to the vast sea under the gentle breeze of the grassland at night.

Zhao Changhe sat at the back, holding Sanniang's waist and kissing the side of her face. Sanniang enjoyed it very much and leaned lazily in his arms, murmuring in a low voice: "Changhe..."

"Um?"

“We don’t talk about practicing ancient times, secret realms, and four phenomena... just wander with me under this night, just like you hold me in the waves... okay?”

"good."

 "Well...you are allowed to hold your hand a little higher..."

This is the time of spring and it is rainy. However, there has been almost no rain since we went on the expedition for more than a month, with only occasional light rain, which made the Northern Expedition go very smoothly. But after the war, it rained frequently, but it wasn't heavy. It sprinkled lightly like silk, washing away the blood stains on the earth and making the air on the grassland begin to be fragrant.

It’s like God is doing something beautiful.

It was a drizzle and gentle breeze on a spring night. The two of them walked hugging each other. The wind and rain blowing in their faces were like the water splashing on the rocks when the waves hit the shore. Splashed on the face, it's sweet, and it hits the heart, soft.

Turtle, who offered to visit the secret place, fell asleep in the man's arms, as peacefully as a child.

She really wanted to visit the secret place... She just thought it would be beneficial to the man, so she would get up and remind him to take a look no matter how lazy she was.
