Chapter 643: Sword of the Night Emperor
In fact, Sanniang's stomach is a little sore.
It can be seen from Zhao Changhe's attitude that he may be interested in the casting of the Night Emperor's Sword itself. That is a warrior's interest in how to forge a divine sword. But he has no interest in inheriting the cause and effect of the Night Emperor, becoming the Night Emperor, or gaining belief in the Four Symbols Sect, and is even quite hesitant.
Sanniang's current level of cultivation can understand Zhao Changhe's avoidance, inherit the cause and effect, and have to pay it back in the future. This is a thunder heavier than the Sword Emperor under the Tang family.
What is not Ye Emperor but can go further than Ye Emperor? If you are full and full, since you avoid taboos, the normal choice is that you don't need to touch it at all... If you like a sword, just make it for yourself, it's just an item, this kind of thing Cause and effect are much smaller.
But he still chose to touch it, preferring to use this awkward method to increase the difficulty to avoid risks, rather than force it. There is no other reason, just for Suzaku.
Either you must join the religion yourself and believe in the teachings of the Four Symbols, or you must make yourself a benefit of the Four Symbols religion, in order to completely eliminate the possible separation and conflicts between the two parties. It was impossible for Zhao Changhe to choose the former, so he chose the latter, which was the most difficult.
He likes Suzaku so much.
Sure enough, fierce women are more desirable, right?
Sanniang sniffed and said sourly: "You can reforge the dragon bird yourself, what else do you need my help with?"
Zhao Changhe said: "Palm the fire... I need to devote myself to the sword and the stars, and I have no energy left to control the fire."
All right……
Sanniang looked at the sword blank he took out, feeling a little excited in her heart.
No matter how sad her heart is, she is from the Xuanwu Sect of the Four Elephants, and it is impossible not to be excited about such a big event as casting the Sword of the Night Emperor.
On the other hand, this is also her cause and effect. In ancient times, Xuanwu assisted Ye Emperor in forging swords. Although no one knows why Xuanwu, who represents the element of water, was used to assist in the casting process, to this day, this is still the relationship between Xuanwu and Ye Emperor. In forging swords... there is a continuity.
Sanniang took out two crystal cores and threw them aside. Two foolish water men appeared and knelt down to Sanniang: "My God..."
Zhao Changhe was stunned: "When did you learn this trick?"
"I am the King of the Sea now, do you want to shoot me?"
"……another day."
"As you said, I will try my best next time and give Suzaku only nine points. Why should I take risks after spending so much time on her? Don't I like it?"
"..."
Sanniang hummed, and even though she was scolding her, she still directed the two water men to blow the wind.
The dragon bird can be melted by conventional fire here, but it is obviously not strong enough to melt the Night Emperor sword blank and needs to be strengthened. With Sanniang under control, Zhao Changhe could finally focus all his attention on the sword itself.
He took a deep breath and put the sword blank into the furnace.
This is an extremely complete sword blank that is only one step away from the finished sword. Except for the fact that it does not have a sharp edge, it can be used directly as a finished product most of the time. Zhao Changhe once shot it out and killed someone. A giant octopus possessed by the Yin Qi of the Neptune Emperor.
The reason why I didn't start the finished product directly was because the most critical item, Night Quicksand, was missing.
In the last period of their lives, Ye Di and Xuanwu should have gained the same understanding as Xia Longyuan who came to this world. They need a flowing night to represent the sky, which is not static. The only item that can meet the attributes of "night", "flow" and "not here, not on the other side" and has enough level and energy is Night Quicksand.
So the top experts from the two eras unanimously used this object to build their own sky curtain. This meant that the Night Emperor had finally taken that crucial step of enlightenment, but the era suddenly collapsed and it was no longer possible.
Zhao Changhe looked at the sword blank that was gradually burning red and softening, and suddenly wondered in his heart, could the collapse of the era have something to do with Ye Di's breakthrough? Just like the NPCs in the game world evolved into GMs, and the world collapsed? In other words, it caused the backlash of the original Tiandao, thinking that this world was no longer available, and everyone rebelled...
It is possible that the order is questionable.
I don't have the time to think about it at the moment. Zhao Changhe stared closely at the degree of softening of the sword, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab a handful of night sand, covering the sword body accurately and evenly. Watching the process of the night sand being absorbed by the sword body, his spirit suddenly penetrated the burning sword.
Different from the dragon bird, the dragon bird already has a spirit and does not need his spirit to reach in and guide it to become a spirit. This crucial step of the Night Emperor Sword blank must be guided by oneself. Based on the already formed blank, it can only accept the preset meaning of the stars in the sky. Others are incompatible. Not only will it fail to be cast, but it will also be rejected. Therefore, it has always been said that the most critical thing in building this sword is to adapt to the sword's intention, not just the lack of items.
After the spirit penetrated, he could feel the sky like a burning cloud inside, with flames everywhere and extremely hot. Even Zhao Changhe's spirit was a little overwhelmed. Almost all his strength was used to fight against the scorching heat inside, and nothing could be done.
Sanniang next to her glanced at Zhao Changhe's sweaty appearance, and suddenly reached out and touched his eyebrows.
A coolness spread across the spiritual platform, and the blazing heat inside the sword body seemed to be relieved. A moist wind blew through the sky, and the fire clouds became much gentler.
Is this why Xuanwu assistance is necessary?
As the night quicksand gradually penetrated, the sky began to change from red to dim, getting darker and darker, and gradually turned into a vast night.
There are no stars in the night, only pure black like brocade, flowing gently.
But there are stars in reality. The foundation of the sword blank is here. All the stars are hidden in it. You need to find and light them one by one. If you can't even do this, you are not qualified to forge this sword.
Zhao Changhe stood silently for a moment under the sky, and suddenly put his fingers together to make a sword and pointed it at the sky.
This is a sword. The so-called meaning of stars is integrated with the meaning of sword. Various pits are buried here, and they need to be fully consistent.
What can be inconsistent is their understanding of stars... If it is Ye Di, this sword must point to the four symbols; if Xia Longyuan does it, it must point to the sun and the moon. For modern people's cognition, what is the four symbols...
And Zhao Changhe's sword broke through the air, pointing to a very random point, neither the sun and the moon, nor the four symbols. A tiny star that people in this world have no concept of suddenly appeared in the night sky, blinking its eyes.
Xuanwu said, "Beyond the four symbols, the tiny stars are not the sky"? Zhao Changhe once said to Sanniang Chichi that he would look at the starry sky outside the framework of the Four Symbols.
This is the path that Ye Di wants to take in the end. This simple finger is farther than Ye Di back then.
But it doesn't mean that you can point to the stars randomly. You have to have a basic logic, why you point to this first, what to do next, and form a system. This is a concept that Zhao Changhe did not form earlier, and he always thought that he was far behind. This is not something that can be done by just applying a system like the twelve constellations. It must be your own sword intention.
After thinking for so long, Zhao Changhe has a draft in mind.
After the first star was lit, the sword energy suddenly ran wild, and thousands of swords were fired at the same time, rushing straight into the sky.
Tens of thousands of sword energy flowed through, and a Milky Way appeared in the sky. It turned out that the first star pointed out before was just a grain of sand among the countless stars in the Milky Way.
In the absence of other stars and only the Milky Way, it looks like the real Milky Way is hanging upside down, and its momentum is extraordinary, like falling from the sky. The violent and surging Dharma image surged behind him. There was the Milky Way in the sky and on his body, so they reflected each other and became more and more shining.
There was a faint spiritual energy in the sky, just like the mist floating above the river.
That was the gathering of spirits.
The blind man pinched his slender hands unconsciously. Although he was a spirit, he felt a little sweaty.
I always thought that he didn't have much concept of the meaning of the stars in the sky. I thought he wouldn't succeed. I watched a joke with cold eyes. Let him feel a little frustrated and turned back to ask "Blind, what should I do? Give me some strategy..."
As a result, Zhao Changhe was silent and secretly pondered that he had really merged his sword meaning. This was the meaning of the stars that really belonged to him.
Was it because Xia Chichi's establishment of the country touched him? But at that time, he didn't show that he understood it particularly well... Could it be that Zhao Changhe was deliberately hiding his performance from himself now?
Since the Milky Way opened, Zhao Changhe was more unrestrained.
A much stronger sword energy rushed straight into the sky, and the cold and blurred moonlight was looming in the air.
With the moon, the four symbols began to light up. And almost without any order, thousands of swords came out again, and the four symbols appeared. He did not deliberately avoid or jump out of the existence of the four symbols, or he wanted to include the four symbols.
At the moment when the four symbols were lit, Sanniang, who was controlling the fire with a grumble, seemed to have sensed something and looked back in shock.
Far away in the Queen Mother's bedroom, Huangfu Qing stood up suddenly and turned his head to the north.
Xia Chichi, who was discussing privately with Tang Wanzhuang in the imperial study, stood up in shock and almost knocked over the inkstone in front of him.
Tang Wanzhuang was stunned: "Why is your majesty so panicked?"
Xia Chichi's face was really a little pale, and he said to himself in shock: "The Night Emperor is coming to the world? No, this is not so clear... This is... Changhe?"
"Swoosh!" Huangfu Qing, Xia Chichi, and the Four Symbols believers in the palace turned into streams of light and ran straight to the Imperial Temple.
Tang Wanzhuang was left staring at the empty imperial study, stunned.
Countless Four Symbols believers gathered at the entrance of the Imperial Temple, almost all holding their breath.
Huangfu Qing put on the Vermillion Bird mask and stood at the entrance, waving his hand to stop the crowd from asking questions, and whispered: "Please be patient, don't disturb them."
Xia Chichi came up and whispered: "Venerable, this intention suddenly dimmed... Did it fail?"
"Almost..." Huangfu Qing looked up at the sky, the sky was about to dawn, and the sun had not yet appeared.
"Almost... Just like the Night Emperor back then, it was just a little bit short of completion. The Night Emperor lacked the intention, and what he lacked was..."
Xia Chichi murmured: "Practice?"
Zhao Changhe below had already soaked his clothes with sweat.
His sword intention direction was OK... but his practice was insufficient.
The second secret collection was not enough!
Sanniang was also sweating, and even the temperature of the fire was not enough to support such forging!
If you follow the ancients to cast the magic sword, whether it is the lack of sword intention or the lack of flame, there is a common solution.
Put your body into the furnace and temper this magic sword.
