The Book of Troubled Times

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. It was impossible to rely solely on this page of the Heavenly Book. Basically, he relied 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.

Just make sure it's quicksand at night, which is an unexpected bonus that makes people even more concerned.

Night quicksand is the last missing item to cast the Night Emperor's Sword. It has been long since this was all that was missing to make the sword.

Sanniang said that she didn't pay much attention to the search, which was a bit unfair. That was because she had no clues 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. Sanniang Ying and the Wuling Clan have been searching overseas for more than half a year, but they 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 can be luxuriously paved in the sky... It even looks very... It may not be the kind that happens to be used up. There is a high probability that there are still leftovers under the platform...

After scratching his head and thinking for a long time, he realized that he had never asked Lao Xia about this matter before. At that time, he was very opposed to him and 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 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 tell me 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 defamation just because I'm 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 still don’t know that you, my father-in-law, hate me... As for how to do it, your method may be 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 Ye Liusha. The matter of Ye Emperor forging swords 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 have collected many top-level treasures, but it turned out that he did not. Here are basically 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 Lian Long The finches are all used for hands-on training.

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.

Yes, 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 is made using the method of refining weapons and is closely connected with the earth's veins, so Xia Longyuan can point to the sky and reach any position...

If the most special treasure here is, maybe it is 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, something related to Lao Xia, which meant that he could control the space of the universe, but after this exploration, he discovered 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 karma 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...

Therefore, all of Lao Xia's operations can be summed up as "using one cause to connect all effects", 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 Zhao Changhe's current level, 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 enough intention of the stars in the sky to match the sword intention of the sword blank and successfully cast it. 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.

So here comes the question. In order to break through the limitations of his own knowledge of the Four Symbols, the Night Emperor needed to recognize and comprehend 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 purpose 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?

In addition, why did he insist on forging this sword? Did he fall into the cause and effect of the Night Emperor?

If you want to continue this cause and effect without suffering backlash in the future, what actions are needed?

You need to have a different intention from Ye Emperor, and you cannot 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 transcend the cognition of people in this world and know what the real starry sky is, which is naturally more correct and broader than their cognition 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 is 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 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 underground fire and forge, and finally left the darkroom, choosing to study the sky itself first.

Reaching out to touch the sky, which was as soft as satin and flowing like sand, Zhao Changhe's eyes slowly 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 be constructed. The concepts of distance and movement of stars in the mind are 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.

But a simple direction of thinking, that is, the genius's ideas are infinitely inspiring.

Is it possible to build my own sword of the Night Emperor with such a star intention?

"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…”

"In that case." Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "Don't you have time to talk to me... We are all very busy, and it is not the time to fall in love. We have a long time to come. Are you done now?"

Huangfu Qing said: "Every aspect of the matter is too complicated, and I can't finish it 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 coming and I will naturally come here. Have a look."

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

Huangfuqing hesitated and said, "His Majesty shouldn'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 will you help His Holiness?"
