The Book of Troubled Times

Chapter 638: Will You Help Me or the Venerable?

Zhao Changhe ignored the blind man's complaints.

Old Xia suggested not to rely too much on the Heavenly Book, and Zhao Changhe agreed with him.

Old Xia could have reached his current level with just one page of the Heavenly Book, but it was impossible that he relied entirely on this page of the Heavenly Book. He basically relied on himself. Zhao Changhe had already consciously controlled himself in the first two pages. He would be anxious if he didn't get the Heavenly Book, and get rid of the sense of dependence. Of course, it was not appropriate to say this to the blind man, making her feel that it was good for her to ignore the Heavenly Book because of a woman.

It was OK to make sure it was the Night Flowing Sand, which was an unexpected gain that made people care more.

The Night Flowing Sand was the last item missing in the forging of the Night Emperor's Sword. It had been missing only this item for a long time to forge the sword.

Sanniang said that she didn't pay much attention to it, which was a bit unfair, because there was no clue at all. Who would be so stubborn as to fiddle with such an illusory thing? It's not like I have nothing to do...

This doesn't mean I don't care. I still care about it in my heart. I pay special attention to every place I go. I have been looking for it overseas for half a year in the Sanniang Ying Wuling tribe, but I found nothing.

There is no news about the Night Quicksand anywhere, and I thought I had to go to some mysterious and unknown secret realm to get it. There is so much of it right under my nose, so much that it can be luxuriously spread into the sky...It even looks like it may not be the kind that has just been used up. There is a high probability that there are leftovers under the platform...

I scratched my head and thought for a long time. I really never asked Lao Xia about this before. At that time, I was very opposed to him and stubbornly advised him to die. It was impossible for me to ask him for things.

In fact, Lao Xia should have a lot of good things. He traveled all over the world in the first half of his life. He got a lot more than Ying Wu in the secret realm, and some of them were extremely difficult. Moreover, Lao Xia has killed gods, for example, he once destroyed Buddha, the introduction is that he killed a Buddhist god, so Lao Xia may still have Buddhist spoils in his hands, maybe there are others.

"Why didn't you say it before, we have been here..."

"How many times have I said that I am not your strategy, 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 mess with me in your heart, and you want me to teach you this and that, why..."

"Hey, we are familiar with each other, but I will sue you for defamation if you talk 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 don't know that both you and your father-in-law hate me... As for how to do it, maybe your way is more vicious than your father-in-law.

Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment, and went under the platform to find the secret door. There must be a collection here. It is confirmed to be Ye Liusha. The matter of Yedi forging the sword can really be put on the agenda now.

For those who can see the air now, the secret door is not difficult to find. It is almost obvious at a glance where there is a unique breath. Zhao Changhe quickly found the secret door under the high platform and used the crane control skill to open it from the inside. The scene inside surprised Zhao Changhe.

Originally, I thought that Lao Xia would collect many top treasures, but it turned out that there were no such treasures. There were basically materials here - the remaining materials for building this underground sky dome, and some of them might be used for previous practice. According to this situation, it is very likely that even the dragon bird was used for preliminary practice.

It seems that in the second half of the practice, Xia Longyuan does not seem to have much interest in collecting treasures, otherwise he would not have left the secret realms in various places unattended... He is quite different in all aspects.

There is fire in the center of the ground, a very special underground fire. There is a furnace above the underground fire, a forging furnace with a very special shape, and the faint treasure light looks like a fairy-like cultivation flavor. When Zhao Changhe looked at the air, he could almost see that the underground fire here connected all directions, gathered the air of mountains and rivers, and attracted the Nanming Lihuo - this thing has another name, the fire of the Vermillion Bird.

That's right, it's the Vermillion Bird... But this is not the collection of Vermillion Bird Fire, it's the earth veins that are induced, the real source of fire is not here, this is a special formation, making all directions and six directions for your own use.

This sky dome was made by the method of refining instruments, and it is closely integrated with the earth veins, so Xia Longyuan can point to the sky and reach any position...

If the most special treasures here are, maybe it's this earth fire and furnace?

Zhao Changhe finally looked into Xia Longyuan's page of the heavenly book and took a look, and his brows immediately wrinkled into the shape of a "chuan" character.

I thought it might be space, and Lao Xia's related things have the meaning of mastering the space of the universe, but this exploration found something more outrageous.

This page is not space, but cause and effect... I don't know if the quarrel with the Buddhists was because of the fight for this page, probably.

Is cause and effect one of the martial arts? Of course, but its mystery has far surpassed the previous page of faith, luck and merit, and is much more ethereal...

So all of Lao Xia's operations can be attributed to "one cause, connecting all results", turning himself into the cause of all results, and then controlling everything. In his prime, he should have been able to do many outrageous operations, but he did not have a complete understanding, and the final failure can be completely attributed to the backlash of cause and effect.

For Zhao Changhe's current level, the gap is too big, and he was exposed too early. But some of the concepts can still be applied...

For example, to cast the Night Emperor's sword, what is lacking is not only the material Night Flowing Sand, but also enough of the meaning of the stars in the sky to match the sword meaning of this sword blank and successfully cast it. If the sword meaning is not integrated, it will only be a sword shape, 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 one is the goal and who 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. The imprint of his thoughts is not as deep as his own, so it is easier for him to unify the cognition of the two worlds. You can try 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 is a genius's idea, which gives people unlimited inspiration.

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 contemplation 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: "All aspects of the facts are too complicated, and I can't finish them at the moment."

"Then why do you come here to see me when you have time?"

"Because... the treasures here, including the platform and the sky, the Venerable had no time to take care of before. He just ordered people to guard them. When he is free, we will see if we want to move them back to the main altar. I heard that you are here, so naturally Just come and take 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 the Lord?"
