The Book of Troubled Times

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.

Well, I don’t know if I should count it as hard days, local bully, or hard days. 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 returned to the court ahead of her teacher with a radiant face. She was a little anxious to show off to Tang Wanzhuang... Even if it was the tip of her teeth this time The sharp-tongued maid must have turned red with anger.

Also traveling with her was Yue Hongling, who wanted to go to the Sixiang Sect headquarters to see if the White Tiger Classics was really suitable for her.

Everything everyone wanted was done, and they all tacitly agreed to give Sanniang, who had been eating sand outside the Great Wall for several months, some time alone.

The main reason is that the power of faith that is dense here has no effect on Yue Hongling. This is not what she wants. 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 Sea Emperor, 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, who was seriously injured, has not recovered yet, and Sanniang was also seriously injured, so the two of them hid in the secret realm and absorbed the power of faith for dual cultivation treatment.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

Not to mention the difficulty of the posture, not many people can do it with this level of fever alone.

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 He will be the venerable demon sect.

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 helping the turtle to take revenge...

In fact, even Snake Body himself didn't know whether Turtle was knocked unconscious or was just lazy and sleeping.

The way of avatar has become more and more mature at this point.

The duality of tortoise and snake, which is charming, agile and calm and lazy, was once regarded by Zhao Changhe as the most complicated Sanniang. Now she is not that complicated because she can be separated.

The majestic 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 traveled 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.

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

"I don't know what the near miss is." The main body Turtle said lazily: "Maybe it's a cliché that you can't break through the level just by relying on dual cultivation?"

"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?"

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

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

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

"Do I want you to help bear the burden? It's obviously your own responsibility!"

"I mean to help you show off. Are you willing to do those postures yourself?"

"I...I'll accept it if you come in."

"Isn't that also because of my factor? Is it because of you lazy turtle?"

"I am the real body, please show some respect."

"Do you want to fight? Let's see who is the main body and who is the master!"

"Bang bang bang bang!" Two delicate hands drawing circles began to fight on the man's chest.

Zhao Changhe stared dumbfoundedly at the two San Niangs arguing and fighting, 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 true that the dual cultivation is not in place?

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

Gui Guizhi stepped over proudly and pressed the clone under him: "Have you accepted it, little beauty? Who is in charge?"

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

Turtle kissed me happily: "Be good."

Zhao Changhe opened his mouth and closed it again.

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

However, the scene of self-inflicted attack did not happen. After Sanniang kissed her, ripples of light appeared on her body, 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 it will always be controllable... But if you 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 cauldron."

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

Are they...sisters?

In fact, even if they are sisters, looking at the direction of the two points of heaven, they are very similar to Sanniang.

The reason why Sanniang has this kind of clone 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, mostly referring to the good and evil self."

"This statement is similar to that of Taoism, but it's different for me. It's just two sides of my personality... Of course, it's hard to say if it's the ultimate evolution..." Sanniang thought for a while and smiled: "Who is going to distinguish between good and evil? If we separate, we are one body. If we separate, do we still count as human beings?"

"So that's God."

"Gods are human beings too." 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 or the other 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."

It seems that if we have to deal with the blind man and Jiuyou in the future, this may be a clue... Sanniang's place 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 fang... In terms of strength, my unhealed injury at the time was actually not as good as the vulture's fang, but that knife had already used the cause and effect 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 level's experience. Do you want to give it a try? It's not difficult."

"First of all, I don't have two obviously opposing personalities..."

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

"...I see you're not uninterested..."

"Um?"

"Ahem... Could it be that I have the body of a pervert and 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. It's even less important if I'm my own clone. But if you say that, I don't mind. That’s all I can understand.”

"So the most I accept is that the split soul is omnipresent, and that is all under my control..." Zhao Changhe said, and around the stars, 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 had 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 research and make breakthroughs.

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

"Yes, it is a kind of 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 try something different and take turns. 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 won't get tired of it for the rest of my life."

"Bah." Sanniang stood up and dressed, and said with a smile: "There is a secret realm on the other side of the Hanhai that made Timur rise. Don't you be interested in taking a look? At least the fifth brother asked me to take a look. You have to take a look to find out.”

Zhao Changhe also remembered this matter, 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. Xuanwu's body is over there. I obtained the inheritance and used it to ascend 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, and Suzaku's body is probably the Nanming Lihuo position that he sensed in the underground sky before. There is a high probability that the soul turned into fire... all of this It is absolutely dead. Nanming Lihuo can be remotely used by him to make swords, which shows that he has no owner.

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

Sanniang said: "The White Tiger thing reminds us... Over at Zhuque, I told Qing'er that she still has to go and have a look. The chance of her breaking through to the second level is probably there. You don't have to worry, there shouldn't be." Danger."

"And you?"

"The only part of Xuanwu's inheritance that I missed was 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 separated and hidden. Yes, 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 got an advantage from you in the end.”

"I'm cheap just because I'm cheap for you."

"What I'm saying is that even I have given you an advantage..."

"..."

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?"

"Let's not talk about ancient cultivation, secret realms, and four phenomena... just wander with me under this night, just like you holding me in the waves... okay?"

"good."

"Well... I allow you to hold your hand a little higher..."

It is rainy in this late spring season. 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 drizzling spring night and the two of them walked together embracing each other. The wind and rain blowing in their faces were like the water splashing on the rocks when they stood on 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.
