The next day, the couple got up at noon, had breakfast and lunch together, and after lunch, took a walk to the ancient tomb mountain to enjoy the scenery. It was evening when they arrived.
Well, Zhao Changhe wanted to let Yue Hongling watch the sunset in the evening, that's for sure.
Many elves had already been busy building a yard here, choosing a location next to the stream near the smooth platform. A group of people were busy cutting wood and building a house. When Zhao Changhe came over, he found that the house was almost half built, with extremely high efficiency.
After all, he is the emperor now. If he wants to enjoy himself, it is natural for him to build a palace. Sisi knows what he is thinking. He does not want to build a large-scale building, but simply arranges a small courtyard, which is naturally very efficient.
Zhao Changhe watched from a distance, but didn't want to disturb them or cause any kneeling or anything like that, which would be boring, so he just observed around the platform on his own.
Yue Hongling had been observing for a long time, and his expression was slightly solemn.
Zhao Changhe asked, "Why, you have some insights? That would be great, would you stay longer?"
"I don't have any insights into martial arts, but I do feel a little confused..." Yue Hongling whispered, "Is it possible that the sun, moon, and stars... are fake?"
Zhao Changhe looked at his wife in amazement. This idea is not surprising to modern people, but could the ancients have thought of it
Having said that, it is not necessarily fake, because if it were fake, there would be no source of the fakery.
The Heavenly Book protects this space from being broken, but it does not mean that it will create a sky curtain and the illusion of the sun, moon and stars. A page of the Heavenly Book without thoughts should not do this, and there is no motivation. Moreover, this page is the Book of Life, which should not have such a function.
How can it be fake when there is no one to fake it
Judging from the various natural conditions such as photosynthesis, oxygen and water flow, the sky seen here is most likely the same sky seen outside, but the space is folded in some way to cause this phenomenon. As for the sun at a close distance, it is most likely a visual deception caused by space distortion. It is actually very far away, otherwise it would not make sense that the sun so close would not be hot.
Of course, if we judge that the sun, moon and stars are fake based on the fact that the sun is very close but not hot, it does make sense. Zhao Changhe cannot be sure which one is correct, which is also the main reason why he plans to live here for a long time.
Modern people should be more interested in this kind of thing than any ancient people. This is the real vision, okay
Yue Hongling looked a little dazed, looking at the setting sun and whispering to himself: "If the sky here might be fake, then must the sky outside be real? Or... what else is there above the nine heavens?"
Zhao Changhe's eyes bulged.
If I can return to the modern world in the future, I will slap anyone to death if he dares to say that the natives are narrow-minded.
Even I was reminded by these words. Are the so-called lingering gods and demons really buried underground? Where did Xia Longyuan's fist that he threw towards the sky lead to
If there is someone else above the Nine Heavens, then the sky of this small world may really be fake, for example, there is an old ancestor of the Spirit Clan who protects the younger generation, and even the Heavenly Book was brought here by him. If it is just lying in the grave, then forget it.
Even the ancient Azure Dragon and the Sword Emperor are lying in graves. Is the ancestor of the spirit race really that awesome
Zhao Changhe fell into deep thought, but Yue Hongling seemed to come to her senses and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's just wild guessing, there is no basis for it, don't laugh at me."
Zhao Changhe asked seriously, "Do you want to continue to follow up on your guess and investigate the truth?"
Yue Hongling's eyes were sparkling.
Being uninterested in ancient heritage and secret events does not mean that one is uninterested in understanding the truth of heaven and earth. Understanding the universe is the way, and it must be the ultimate goal of a warrior.
To put it bluntly, was she always unconsciously on the road of exploring the world while she was wandering around the world? Now it is becoming clearer.
"Are you looking for these too?" she asked suddenly.
Zhao Changhe thought about it and nodded, "I guess so."
Yue Hongling smiled and said, "Let's see who can find it faster. You continue to think about your little world here, and I'll go out and find mine."
Zhao Changhe was somewhat helpless: "After all, you still want to leave. You can't keep a monkey..."
"Not entirely." Yue Hongling turned her head again, looking at the large plate that seemed very close, and whispered to herself: "It's so close, I really want to poke it down..."
Zhao Changhe: “…”
"But I know I can't do it. It will only increase my inner demons. It's better not to look. When I have reached a higher level of cultivation, I will come back here... Will you look at my sword and see the sunset?"
… …
Yue Hongling left without letting Zhao Changhe see her off. She never liked sticky farewells. She just went to Sisi to ask for a good sword before leaving, and extorted a storage ring to think about using. She didn't know that she couldn't use the ring because she didn't have the crane control function. It seemed that the strength of the second-level secret collection was enough to forcibly absorb things.
Zhao Changhe, who felt that his ambitions were shattered by his wife, sat on the platform of the grave with his hands in his pockets, staring in a daze at the process of the big plate slowly descending the mountain.
It was not until the mountain had completely set and the stars and the moon were shining brightly in the sky that Zhao Changhe suddenly said, "Why do you have to recruit people from the present world? You might as well just be Hong Ling's personal grandmother. I heard that the trend is now promoting novels with female protagonists."
The blind man was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Zhao Changhe squinted his eyes and remained silent for a while, but seemed to have some ideas.
Maybe there are some things that need to be done by people "outside of heaven"... at least that's what blind people judge.
Otherwise, there are so many talented people in the world, why would we go to the world to recruit them...
If we say that people from outer space have any extra advantages over people in this world, it may be our understanding of the true universe. Could this be the origin of my idea of the stars in the sky that shocked Suzaku and Xuanwu
"Master." A whisper came from the side: "Their house has been built and the equipment is ready. Do you want to go in?"
Zhao Changhe came back to his senses: "Fuck, so fast?"
Sisi pursed her lips and chuckled: "It's just a wooden house, a villa for the Holy Envoy to live in. They are all very motivated. I can use a whip to make people work."
Zhao Changhe said jokingly, "If you dare to pull it, Hong Ling will want your head for justice."
Sisi leaned over and said, "Isn't there Mr. Zhao here? If you want to be a hero, then come by yourself..."
Seeing her putting her rosy cheeks close to his lips, Zhao Changhe couldn't help laughing: "Since Hong Ling left, you've become arrogant, right? You were so obedient before."
Sisi pouted. She used to think Yue Hongling was very serious and liked to act crazy in front of her, although she always got beaten up in the end... But this time Yue Hongling helped a lot, so she really couldn't act crazy anymore.
Especially when Yue Hongling and Zhao Changhe were together, they always made people feel like a pair of Taoist friends who were completely on the same path, and the presence of others seemed very abrupt. She was holding hands with Zhao Changhe the moment before, looking like a young couple, but the next moment Yue Hongling appeared, she automatically gave up her position and became a little maid. This feeling made Sisi very depressed.
Yue Hongling said goodbye in a graceful manner. Sisi looked reluctant to leave, but she was actually so happy that she wanted to set off fireworks to say farewell. It was so generous of Sisi to give her a sword and a ring.
"Master, you can't be without someone to serve you..." Sisi said affectionately, "Master, what are you wearing today?"
Zhao Changhe's eyes moved away from her pretty face and fell on her body. He laughed out loud at the first sight.
She actually wore the same maid outfit as the one she wore in Gusu, looking like a real little maid.
Suddenly she remembered that when she was a maid, she had changed into a foreign costume out of reluctance to show that she was not a maid, but was beautiful and had status. But now she took the initiative to put on the maid's clothes again, and her rosy face was waiting for everyone to enjoy.
Zhao Changhe felt a little soft in his heart, and finally reached out to hold her waist. Sisi sat in his arms and leaned against him softly.
In this posture, she could feel that Zhao Changhe's heartbeat was faster than usual, and not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
But it was obvious that Zhao Changhe was distracted today, just holding her like that without moving, unlike yesterday when he pushed her against a tree and bit her on the road. Sisi asked carefully, "What are you thinking about? Are you reluctant to leave Sister Yue?"
Feeling her humble appearance, Zhao Changhe sighed: "I said I am here to practice, so of course I am thinking about practice-related..."
Sisi clenched her fist: "I also know something about Xia people's martial arts. Do you want me to join you in the discussion?"
Zhao Changhe's heart was slightly moved: "Do you have any records in the classics about the ancestor of the clan, or an important ancestor who made the spirit clan prosperous? What kind of person was he?"
"Of course there is a legend. It is said that there is a great wizard who stands tall and proud, holding the sun in one hand and the moon in the other, and his breath is a hurricane... Don't laugh, we all believe it."
"I'm not laughing..."
"You are obviously smiling."
"You just think this legend is ridiculous, but actually... I believe it."
Sisi was stunned: "Do you believe it?"
This shows that what she called "what we all believe", she herself actually didn't believe. The elves never imagined that their queen was such a complete spiritual traitor. She believed in almost nothing that the elves believed in.
"Hmm..." Zhao Changhe turned his head and looked towards the belly of the mountain, whispering, "I was thinking, there might not be anything we were afraid of in the belly of the mountain, but your fortune. Do you want to take a chance? Just like... when we joined hands to explore the tomb of the Sword Emperor."
