Tome of Troubled Times Chapter 863: Let’s move on each other

Chapter 863: Go forward separately

Zhao Changhe's retreat was said to take three to five days, but in fact, apart from opening a small stove for Xia Chichi for a few hours, the subsequent retreat only lasted a day and a half.

He felt that he had a slight problem with the third level of Yujing... It was not that he had not felt it before. He often felt that he had practiced too fast and lacked sedimentation, and his upgrades were unrealistic. But my strength has indeed improved, my combat performance is no worse than others, and I can often jump to higher levels, so I suppressed this small concern and thought it was an inevitable feeling caused by the short training time.

But this time, the feeling is more obvious than before, and I feel very uneasy and unsteady in my heart.

A long time ago, Yuxu allowed himself to look back on where he came from. At that time, he really allowed himself to calm down, check for deficiencies, and benefit a lot. But this time, no matter how I looked back, I didn't notice any shortcomings.

The scenery along the way is still vivid in my mind, those things and those people, although the time is short, the imprint is strong.

Because today’s mental power and memory are not comparable to those before, even things that are glanced at daily will not be easily ignored or forgotten. Especially for the little insights gained on the path of spiritual practice, there will be no gaps.

Some things, such as the Linghu Saber Intention Kuang Sha Dao Fa Yuan Tu Sword Technique and so on, seem to be no longer used. That is because some of them are really worthless, and some have been integrated into one's daily tricks. each other.

Building the body is no longer a step-by-step process as before. In fact, after Li Shentong taught the complete horizontal training method and bathed in the innate lotus platform with Piao Miao, both body and function have been perfected and truly perfect. The body of the devil.

Since the last encounter with Lie, he has abandoned the use of evil energy and only used his body to control blood energy, which is similar to using his own flesh and blood to play the role of the sky. It can be regarded as a combination of the advantages of Lie and Yedi. Nor is it restrained by either.

Even on the sword path, the original unique skills of the Blood Fiend Sword Technique have been transformed into his own understanding. The path of the knife seems to be the same as before, but its meaning has changed, and the viciousness of the **** sky has long become a star hanging upside down. After breaking through the third level of imperial realm, the performance in this aspect will be more obvious.

What other mistakes and omissions are there that make you feel guilty?

The lack of precipitation should be a fact, but there should be some other triggers. If it is not an internal cause, it should be an external cause.

There are some external factors that I have not been able to understand, and I am instinctively wary and uneasy.

In addition to the preparedness of the behind-the-scenes problem...does it point directly to any problems with the current Southwest Treaty?

——If Tiandao is not completely dead, there will definitely be a game with Ye Wuming. But so far, Ye Wuming's plan has been going on, but there is no counterattack from heaven. Except for the passive feedback of heaven's punishment at the moment when he kills Annihilation, there is nothing else. What is the game of heaven?

Unfortunately, my practice of cause and effect is not enough, and when I want to see the future, it is always blurry.

In the end, it was expected that he would spend five days in seclusion for polishing and digestion. Zhao Changhe only spent a day and a half in seclusion before he opened his eyes uneasily.

After sensing the surroundings, Huangfu Qing and Piaomiao didn't come back. Yue Hongling, Sanniang Xia Chi each hid in a wave to practice their own medicine.

Zhao Changhe ducked out of the way and went to find Yue Hongling first. Yue Hongling has a clear mind and has always been the most sensitive to crises. You might gain something from talking to her.

Aware of his approach, Yue Hongling opened her eyes and sighed: "It is not easy to find someone accurately among the waves of the endless Milky Way. I can no longer understand your current practice."

Zhao Changhe leaned in her arms a little tiredly: "But when I have a problem, the first thing I think of is my sister."

Yue Hongling laughed: "You still call me sister? You are so much better than me..."

Zhao Changhe said: "You will always be..."

Yue Hongling smiled and said: "Although we have been practicing together recently and polishing ourselves, sometimes there is always a sense of trance. This kind of gathering is like waiting for you to turn over the cards and wait for favor. You treat my sister like this. ”

"I didn't think so."

"I know you don't think so, but everyone feels this way... Why can't Master Suzaku hold back his temper and want to give it a try?" Yue Hongling said with a smile: "Maybe it's just Sanniang who is too lazy to care. She just wants to sleep, come or not. As for me, I am not afraid of practicing with each other, but I don’t like this feeling of waiting for the favor. ”

"Well, I know..."

"I'm thinking, when the dust settles this time, you'd better not bring everyone together to live together. Even I don't like this kind of life. Those two ancient demon gods have their own world and are forcing them to live together. It may be even more torture for them.”

"I understand. In fact, I don't want everyone to get together. At most, I just want everyone to not be too estranged. This gathering is for a decisive battle."

"Well, the problem you just mentioned is related to this decisive battle?"

"Yes... I would like to ask if you have any Kenshin alerts such as heart palpitations in the near future?"

"No, I have a very strong premonition that there will be another battle between me and Senior Sword Emperor." Yue Hongling frowned and said: "This premonition is very strange. It stands to reason that Senior Sword Emperor has his own character and has no essential conflict with us. ...I don’t know why. Is it just a change of swordsmanship that was not completed last time?”

Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and smiled: "I think I have some idea, thank you sister."

"You want to say thank you to me?"

"How about a kiss?"

"Go away, Xia Chichi's smell hasn't gone away yet." Yue Hongling pushed him far away: "If I want something, I'll find you myself. Don't disturb my practice if you have nothing to do."

Zhao Changhe stumbled out of the waves, thought for a while, and went to Sanniang's place again.

Yue Hongling felt uncomfortable waiting to turn over the sign. Sanniang said she was heartless and only slept. Is she also feeling a little confused?

Could it be that the uneasy feeling in my heart has something to do with my failure to take care of everyone...

When they arrived next to Sanniang, they saw Sanniang lying on the water sleeping soundly. The water waves under her body were balled up by her like a big pillow, highlighting her power of water control. Use everything you do.

Zhao Changhe saw that she was sleeping so cutely, so he didn't disturb her. He just squatted next to her and leaned over to kiss her gently.

Oddly enough, Sanniang used to say she was lazy, and she didn't love sleeping as much as she does now. She just lay there all day long like a turtle. What's outrageous is that her aura of about to break through is getting stronger and stronger, which is similar to that of Huangfu Qing who is desperately trying to break through... Zhao Changhe suddenly realizes that Sanniang is actually about to break through because the energy required for her breakthrough is too huge. Lying down to sleep is a way for her to gather energy.

If we talk about breaking through established barriers, looking back now, Sanniang may have been the first and most unintentional one among all people to achieve it. Just like the Sword Emperor wants to combine the meaning of the White Tiger, Suzaku needs to combine the meaning of life and death of Jiuyou, they are all direct means to break through the established framework. So back then, Sanniang successfully blended the meaning of Xuanwu with the faith of Haihuang, and the "set upper limit" had been broken unknowingly...

The turtle who wants nothing is the luckiest.

But Sanniang's breakthrough with such naturally increasing energy may require an extremely long accumulation process. How to help her shorten this process infinitely is a problem... Conventional treasures of heaven, materials and earth are not suitable for the third level of Yujing. It's not enough to say that it's like stuffing between teeth; if you want to practice dual cultivation, you and Sanniang won't have such good results like Jiuyou's first time, and it will take a long time to work together.

Zhao Changhe thought about it but couldn't find a short-term solution... But since Sanniang's situation does not require anxiety, just pay attention when you encounter a suitable opportunity. He gently took out all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures stored in the ring that could enhance his spiritual practice, piled them beside Sanniang, and quietly exited Tianhe.

The moment he left, the sleeping Sanniang reached out and took all the treasures of heaven and earth beside him, and smacked her lips again, showing a comfortable smile.

After another day of practice, Huangfu Qing came back early the next morning. Zhao Changhe also stopped practicing and came out of seclusion to see her.

Huangfu Qing was standing by the river, frowning and thinking, as if he had encountered some problem. Seeing him coming out of seclusion, Huangfu Qing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You came out of seclusion much earlier than expected... How is it, the third level of imperial realm is stable?"

"Well... I actually got out of quarantine earlier. How are you doing? Look at your frown."

"Maybe haste makes waste...Jiuyou's side really inspired me a lot, but for some reason, I feel like it's about to be broken, and I can't find the door even though I'm separated by one layer. "Huangfu Qing paused, then said hesitantly: "And when I was comprehending, I felt a little palpitated, always feeling ominous... but I couldn't figure out where this palpitating feeling came from."

Zhao Changhe was startled: "Have you told Piaomiao Jiuyou and the others? How did they react?"

"They don't feel it, only I do."

Zhao Changhe took a breath and frowned secretly. Yue Hongling's Sword Heart is Transparent, Jiuyou Piaomiao and these are stronger practitioners, but they don't have similar feelings. As a result, Huangfu Qing alone has similar uneasiness to herself... Is this because she is Suzaku, in the Proverbs?

Yue Hongling only represents the white tiger as the complement to the four elephants. The core of her practice is not the white tiger. Xia Chichi's white tiger inheritance is also very shallow. Only Han Wubing is the real one. Can we think that in the motto about the gathering of the red bird and the white tiger, the red bird is already the emperor's love, and the white tiger is neither Yue Hongling nor Xia Chichi, and it is still Han Wubing who can represent the white tiger in response to this motto?

"It's useless to think too much. We have to see it for ourselves." Huangfu said with a smile: "You shouldn't let me go because of this, right? We often feel like fighting in the world, and it's not a big deal. What's more, If you don't let me go to the Four Elephant Formation, I will lose my teeth and my strength will be greatly reduced, which is not cost-effective."

Zhao Changhe shook his head. If there is indeed a cause and effect, you can't avoid it if you insist on it. The matter will eventually be solved, so it is better to face it head-on while taking advantage of the most powerful opportunity now. Now that I vaguely know what the problem is, paying close attention to it is much better than making random guesses before.

"Where are Jiuyou and Piaomiao?"

The mist came: "Jiuyou said she was a little prepared, let us go first, she will arrive later."

While they were talking, Yue Hongling, Sanniang and Xia Chichi, who were practicing separately, also gathered together. Their practice did not show any improvement, but they were all in high spirits. It can be seen that Zhao Changhe's previous measures to care for each one were very timely. At least everyone got rid of the feeling of being favored by turning over brands and so on, and they were in a good mood.

In fact, just being in a clear mood can make your practice go more smoothly.

Seeing Huangfu Qing and Piaomiao, everyone smiled and waved hello: "You are back? How is the battle with Jiuyou? You are going out on behalf of the Four Elephants, don't embarrass us."

Huangfu Qing also put aside his previous annoyance and responded proudly: "Of course it's a great victory."

The group of people were all laughing. Everyone knew that Huangfu Qing could not defeat Jiuyou in battle. Needless to say, this so-called victory was also on another kind of battlefield. Everyone had fought it before.

Sanniang smiled and said: "Can you achieve a complete victory at your level?"

Huangfu Qing snorted coldly: "What's wrong with my level? As long as I silence the little maid next to Tang Wanzhuang, who else will be my opponent?"

Xia Chi hesitated to speak but stopped. What level do you think you have? If you didn't always use your authority to punish people for copying books, you wouldn't even be able to beat me.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to her, lest I get beaten again. Xia Chichi quickly changed the subject and asked Zhao Changhe: "Since we are all here, why don't we leave early? It's not good for me to be away from Beijing for a long time. The pressure of evening makeup will be great."

Zhao Changhe nodded: "Then let's go. Jiuyou can descend at any time. Since he said he will come later, let's go first. I'm a little worried about Sisi."

It’s one thing to make an appointment, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go on time. Now the storm is gathering in the Miao border, and Sisi's strength there is insufficient. I wonder if something will happen if the delay continues. Being anxious to have a breakthrough in spiritual practice can only have the opposite effect of being too anxious to eat hot tofu. It is better to go there in advance and feel at ease.

Everyone was surprised when he stretched out his hand and pressed forward, and the space gradually became distorted: "What are you doing? Can you move so many people around now?"

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "It's not a big problem to get from here to Miao territory... One day, I will take you back to your hometown to see... I think the day when we can do it is not far away."

The space twisted and changed, and in just an instant, the rushing Milky Way in front of us disappeared, and below was the peaceful Cangshan Mountain of Erhai Lake.

…………

Sisi stood on Cangshan Mountain, looking at the golden rice fields stretching thousands of miles below.

The plains beside the Erhai Lake are excellent fertile soil. Miao territory has been cultivated since very early, not from Sisi's sinicization.

In addition to this place, the vast Miao territory is full of good farming land. The people who migrated from the Ling tribe filled the population gap in the Miao territory and reclaimed wasteland everywhere. Today, they have finally seen results.

In times of chaos in the past years, people were in dire straits. In addition to the chaos of war and the inability to organize well-organized farming, as well as the inability of bureaucrats and chieftains to scrape the ground, another big factor is that these years are always windy and rainy. Locust plagues and droughts alone have occurred five or six times in Miao territory in the past decade.

Last year was a slightly better year, but it was also a year of military disaster. For food problems, Miao Jiang once needed to transport food from the secret realm of the Ling clan, and also transported it from Jingxiang through Li Si'an. Sisi was able to secure her position as the Queen of Dali. In addition to her power to suppress, her ability to solve everyone's food and clothing problems was also an extremely important reason.

If there is still a severe disaster and a poor harvest this year, the Miao territory that has finally been stabilized will still be a source of chaos. Sisi prayed countless times for the blessing of the ancestral gods, hoping to have a good year and not let Miao territory become chaotic again in her hands. But praying, praying, knowing the blessings of the ancestors and so on, have not been useful in previous years, and can only be regarded as psychological comfort.

I didn’t expect that this year would be really blessed by the gods. The weather was so smooth and the scene of a bumper harvest made everyone in Miaojiang smile from ear to ear. It also made Sisi, the Queen of Dali, unparalleled in prestige.

Sisi was completely relieved. Listening to the flattering voices of Pan Wan and others next to her, what was the secret prestige used for? If the future is like this in peaceful times, I can stop being the Dali King and go to the capital to get under the covers of men.

It is said that the Tongxin Gu can share what the other party is thinking, but they are thousands of miles away, and the effect of Tongxin Gu is not that great. This Gu is usually almost the same as a white one... But there is an advantage. If you call it strongly, he will Will receive it. It's a pity that I can't use it well at ordinary times, it is the trump card at the bottom of the box.

Winter is gone, and now it’s early autumn again. People say that one day is like three autumns apart, but if you don't see each other for several seasons, it doesn't matter... Could it be that my name is Sisi, so I have to spend my whole life in missing her like this?

Ke Sisi also knew that Zhao Changhe had a lot to do, the enemies had not yet been eliminated, and there were demons who were eyeing him.

Even the land, my home base, is a factor of instability... In addition to giving the people a safe place to live in Miao territory, I also have a very important task: to keep an eye on this matter and not let it ruin it. To protect the people of the Ling tribe, we must not let the war spread to the Miao territory.

In this world, except for people like Zhao Changhe, no one from the other demon gods cares about the life and death of living beings.

For example, Lie from the Spirit Clan stepped out.

"Has your highness made your decision?" A message came from somewhere.

Sisi replied calmly: "I've already said it, not to mention the blood of all spirits, even if it's just one person."

"Don't you know that it is your ancestor **** who is resurrected? The blood of all spirits revives the ancestral god. Can you really not figure out which one is more important?"

"It is the Spirit Tribe people themselves who have made the Spirit Tribe prosperous today... If you want to thank others, then you should thank my husband who has repeatedly saved the Spirit Tribe from danger, not any god."

"In other words, even if the ancestor **** revives, you won't listen?"

"That depends? What kind of thing will he do?" Sisi said calmly: "My husband once asked the senior, since the gods and Buddhas are all gone, why do you do the deeds of gods and demons? I am the same today."

"Because there are more important choices... If you are still obsessed, I will do it myself. It makes no sense whether you agree or not."

"Since Wanling needs to take the initiative, it will be useless no matter how strong you are."

"Yes... I can make their most beloved queen have a strange evil that can only be relieved by donating blood from all spirits, so they will take the initiative. But after all, I have a romantic relationship with your husband, and I don’t want to break up with him. Broken face, don’t force me to go that far.”

Sisi smiled: "The reason why you have the patience to negotiate with me is probably not only because of my husband, but also because you need to wait for a suitable time. As long as the time comes, you will not If you are worried about those things, you will do what you have to do.”

"Indeed."

"Senior is indeed magnanimous." Sisi smiled and said: "But I can make a bet with you... I don't need to wait until that time, my husband will come. He is not afraid of you."
