Chapter 863: Each Going Forward

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 quickly and lacked sedimentation, and his upgrades were unrealistic. But his strength has indeed improved, his combat performance is no worse than others, and he can often leapfrog levels, so he suppresses this small concern and thinks it is 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 his journey. At that time, he really calmed down his mind, checked for deficiencies, and benefited 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 the current 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 Spirit Fox Saber Intent, Kuang Sha Dao, Fa Yuan Tu Sword Technique, etc., seem to be no longer used. That is because some of them are indeed worthless, and some have been integrated into their daily tricks.

In terms of body training, it is no longer built step by step like before. In fact, after Li Shentong taught the complete horizontal training method and bathed in the innate lotus platform with Piaomiao, both body and function have been perfected, and it is a truly perfect demon god's body. .

And since the last encounter with Lie, he has abandoned the use of evil spirits and only uses his body to control blood energy, which is similar to using his own flesh and blood to play the role of the sky. It is a combination of the advantages of Lie and Yedi, and it is not affected by it. The restraint of the two.

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

So what are the mistakes and omissions 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 prepared 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 still 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 and 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.

Sensing 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 training 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 your name and wait for favor. Do you treat your sister like this?" "

"I didn't think so."

"I know you don't think so, but everyone feels this way...Why can't Venerable Zhuque resist his temper and want to give it a try?" Yue Hongling said with a smile: "Maybe Sanniang is just too lazy to care about this kind of thing. She I just want to sleep, whether you like it or not. As for me, I am not afraid to tell you directly. I am willing to practice according to each other, but I don’t like this feeling of waiting for the flop of 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. Forcing them to live together may be harmful to them. It’s even more torture.”

"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 mentioned just now is related to this decisive battle?"

"Yes... I wanted to ask if you will 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 I haven’t figured out 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 again.

Yue Hongling felt uncomfortable waiting for the card to be turned over. Sanniang said that she was heartless and just slept. Was she a little upset?

Could the uneasy feeling in her heart be related to her not taking good care of everyone...

When he got to Sanniang's side, he saw Sanniang lying on the water in a big letter shape, sleeping soundly. The water waves under her body were rolled into a ball by her like a big pillow, highlighting the power of controlling water, which can be used for everything in the world.

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

It's strange to say that Sanniang was lazy before, but she didn't love to sleep as much as she does now. She lay there all day like a turtle. The outrageous thing is that her breath of breaking through is getting stronger and stronger, and it feels similar to Huangfu Qing who is trying hard to break through... Zhao Changhe suddenly realized that Sanniang's energy required for the breakthrough is too huge, and lying down to sleep is her way of gathering energy.

If we talk about breaking through the established barriers, looking back now, Sanniang may be the first one among all people to achieve it unintentionally. Just like the Sword Emperor wanted to combine the meaning of the White Tiger, and the Vermillion Bird needed to combine the meaning of life and death of Jiuyou, they were all direct means to break through the established framework. So when Sanniang successfully combined the meaning of the Black Tortoise and the faith of the Sea Emperor, the "set upper limit" had already been broken unknowingly...

The turtle who has nothing to ask for is the luckiest.

However, for Sanniang to break through by relying on such naturally growing energy, it may take an extremely long accumulation process. How to help her shorten this process infinitely is a problem... Conventional natural materials and treasures are like filling the gaps between teeth for the level of the third level of the Imperial Realm, which is far from enough; if they practice dual cultivation, he and Sanniang are not like Jiuyou who has such a good effect for the first time, and they also need long-term and harmonious progress.

Zhao Changhe thought about it and didn't find a quick way to achieve it in the short term... But since Sanniang is in this situation, there is no need to worry, just keep an eye on the right opportunity. He quietly took out all the treasures in his ring that could help him practice and piled them beside Sanniang, then quietly left Tianhe.

The moment he left, the sleeping Sanniang reached out and took all the treasures he had placed beside her in her arms, smacked her lips, and smiled comfortably.

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

Huangfu Qing was standing by the river, frowning and thinking, as if he had encountered some problem. Seeing him come out of retreat, Huangfu Qing came back to his senses and smiled: "You came out much earlier than expected... How is it, is the third level of the realm of control stable?"

"Well... Actually I came out earlier. How are you? You look so sad."

"Maybe haste makes waste... Jiuyou has really inspired me a lot, but I don't know why, I feel like I'm about to break through, and I can't find the way after a layer." Huangfu Qing paused, and said hesitantly: "And when I was comprehending, I felt a little palpitation, always felt ominous... But I couldn't figure out where this palpitation came from."

Zhao Changhe was stunned: "Have you told Piaomiao Jiuyou and the others, how did they react?"

"They didn't feel it, only I did."

Zhao Changhe took a breath and frowned secretly. Yue Hongling's sword heart is clear, Jiuyou Piaomiao and other practitioners are stronger, but they don't have similar feelings. As a result, only Huangfu Qing and himself have similar uneasiness... Is it because she is Suzaku, in the proverb?

Yue Hongling only represents the White Tiger to fill the position of the Four Symbols. Her core of cultivation 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 of the gathering of the Vermillion Bird and the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird is already Huangfu Qing, and the White Tiger is neither Yue Hongling nor Xia Chichi. The one who can represent the White Tiger to respond to this motto is still Han Wubing?

"It's useless to think too much. I still have to see it for myself." Huangfu Qing smiled and said, "Will you not let me go because of this? We often have this feeling when we fight in the rivers and lakes. It's not a big deal. Besides, if I am not allowed to go to the Four Symbols Formation, I will lose my teeth and my strength will be greatly reduced. It's not cost-effective."

Zhao Changhe shook his head. If there is a cause and effect, you can't avoid it if you try to avoid it. Things must be solved after all. It's better to face it while the troops are the strongest. Since you vaguely know where the problem is, it's better to pay attention to it than to guess blindly before.

"Where are Jiuyou and Piaomiao?"

Piaomiao came over: "Jiuyou said she has some preparations, let us go first, she will come later."

While talking, Yue Hongling, Sanniang and Xia Chichi, who were practicing separately, also gathered together. Their practice did not improve, but they were all in high spirits. It can be seen that Zhao Changhe's previous actions to care for each of them were still very timely. At least it made everyone dispel the feeling of being favored by being picked, and they were in a good mood.

In fact, just being in a good mood can make practice smoother.

Seeing Huangfu Qing and Piaomiao, everyone waved and greeted them with a smile: "Are you back? How was the battle with Jiuyou? You are representing the Four Symbols, don't embarrass us."

Huangfu Qing also threw away his previous annoyance and responded very proudly: "Of course it is a great victory."

A group of people were laughing. Everyone knew that Huangfu Qing would definitely not be able to beat Jiuyou in a battle. This so-called great victory was also in another battlefield, and everyone had fought before.

Sanniang smiled and said, "You can win a great victory with your skills?"

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

Xia Chichi started to speak but stopped. What level do you think you are? 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 didn’t bother to tell 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: "Let's go then. 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 agree on a date, 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 watched him stretch out his hand and press forward, and the space gradually became distorted. They were all surprised: "What are you doing? Can you move so many people to move the space 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 have a look... 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 the past years, when the world was in chaos, 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 is just praying, thinking about it and knowing the blessings of the ancestors, etc., it has not been useful in previous years, it can only be regarded as psychological comfort.

Unexpectedly, this year would be really blessed by the gods. The weather was so smooth and the scene of a bumper harvest made everyone in Miao Jiang 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, secretly thinking, what is the use of prestige? 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 Tongxin Gu can share what the other person 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 Bai Xia... But there is an advantage. If he calls strongly, he will receive of. 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.

Farewell to winter, 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?

But 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 his home base, the earth, is a factor of instability... In addition to giving the people a safe place to live in the Miao territory, he also has a very important task: keeping an eye on this matter and not letting this matter destroy the Spirit Clan. The people must not let the war spread to the Miao border.

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 calmly replied: "I have already said, not to mention the blood of all spirits, even if it is just one person."

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

"The people of the Spirit Tribe themselves are the ones who 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 other god."

"In other words, even if the ancestor god revives, you will not listen to him?"

"It depends on what He will do." Sisi said calmly: "My husband once asked the senior, since the gods and Buddhas are all gone, why did he do the deeds of gods and demons? I said the same thing today."

"Because there are more important choices... If you are still stubborn, I will do it myself. It doesn't make sense whether you agree or not."

"Since Wanling needs to take the initiative, it doesn't matter how strong you are."

"Yes... I can make their most beloved queen suffer from 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. Don't Forcing me to go that far.”

Sisi smiled: "The reason why you are patiently negotiating 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 worry about those things." , you will do what you want to do?”

"Indeed."

"Senior is indeed frank." Sisi said with a smile: "But I can make a bet with you... There is no need to wait until that time, my husband will come. He is not afraid of you."
