Zhao Changhe just wanted to ask, "Do you know that I am practicing dual cultivation? What are you doing here... I am advancing while talking to you, do you know how it feels?"
Fortunately, soul conversations are always short-lived, otherwise I would feel guilty towards Hong Ling...
And if God wants me to have clothes, I must have clothes. My body is obviously without clothes now, can't you see it? Who are you trying to fool by putting on fake clothes in your sea of consciousness? It's just like you closing your eyes and deceiving yourself.
He deliberately said this to ask her for guidance as a further test. What would be the difference between studying the heavenly book by himself and getting her guidance
Reading "books" by yourself, whether it is VR real scenes or text compilation, is considered self-study following "videos" or textbooks, and it is not considered to be taught by a teacher. To be honest, I don't have to avoid these things. One of the main reasons I have never touched them is that things like cause and effect are different from normal martial arts. You really can't learn them by self-study without someone to teach you.
Previously, we had traced back to the Nanming Lihuo through the underground sky. The fire was already there, and finding its source was the simplest way of tracing the source. It was just the surface of the surface, and it could be done by self-studying the heavenly book. It would be too difficult to go deeper.
This kind of extremely mysterious thing might be easier for Wanzhuang and the others to learn, but Zhao Changhe's talent is definitely not in this area. But before he can figure out the backdoor of the heavenly book, he can't easily lead Wanzhuang and the others into this trap. The natural five elements are fine, but forget about cause and effect, which is too dangerous...
If burying a backdoor is something that can be done in any way, then since the book spirit is standing here, why bother taking off pants to fart? Why must we use real scenes or text to show it? Can't we teach face to face? Can't we ask questions directly when we are confused and get answers directly? That's how we can learn.
But the blind man never intended to be Zhao Changhe's master! What he wanted was different, but being this guy's master and boss was not a good thing. There was a blacksmith who was so scared that he ran away, but he was caught even when he ran out to sea.
But since you pretend to want him to study hard, but you don't teach him, isn't it obvious that you have another purpose for letting him study the heavenly book? He is already very cautious, so now he will be treated as straw paper even more thoroughly...
Seeing Zhao Changhe's suspicious look, the blind man was silent for a long time, and finally said: "You have relied on yourself all the way to waking up. You could have relied on yourself all the time."
"When did I need such a title? I have many masters. Instructor Sun, Hong Ling, Wan Zhuang, Qing Er, and Gui Gui all taught me one after another."
"I suggest you take Instructor Sun away and then read it out loud again."
"... Lao Cui also taught me, as did the Pirate Saint, and even Lie."
"In fact, you really don't have a master. This can only be called taking reasonable advice, not someone leading you forward. You really rely on yourself." The blind man couldn't help but praise him a little: "I have to say, Zhao Changhe, you are really amazing. I didn't expect you to be at this level back then."
Zhao Changhe was speechless and said, "Wearing the high hat like this, does that mean you don't want to teach me?"
The blind man was silent for a moment. "I told you long ago that I would not be biased. Now that you have obtained the Heavenly Book, you can understand as much as you can from the natural manifestations of the Heavenly Book. The nature of my teaching has changed."
Zhao Changhe laughed: "How many times have you played around with the rules, including the timing of the announcement. You are not an honest person... You are obviously a witch, why are you pretending to be so conservative?"
The blind man's heart suddenly skipped a beat and his face remained expressionless.
Zhao Changhe said leisurely: "From what I can see, you are definitely not a servant who is content with the established rules and does whatever you are told... If you can't even control the Heavenly Book and are bound by the rules of the Heavenly Book, then how much better can you be than Longque? If you really think of yourself as a spirit of an object, then do you still need to find a master... Then see if I can do it?"
The blind man suddenly smiled. Although he had no bright eyes, his smile was more charming than anyone had ever seen before: "You?... Ha... If you really have the qualifications... It's not impossible~"
Zhao Changhe was just teasing as usual and he didn't expect to get this answer. Suddenly, his whole body twitched and the Milky Way poured down, but unfortunately there was no meteor this time.
Yue Hongling panted and hugged his neck: "Why is it a little fast today?"
Zhao Changhe: “…”
"It's okay, it's already very impressive." Yue Hongling lay there limply, hugging him to prevent him from getting up: "Don't get up yet... I'm not used to being exposed under the starry sky... It seems that you were a little distracted just now?"
"Uh, uh... Yeah, I'm not used to it either." Zhao Changhe swallowed and turned around to look. The blind man in his dream had disappeared and there was no one around. It was like an illusion.
Yue Hongling said: "I thought the effect of dual cultivation with you was already extremely good, but compared with that damn girl Sisi who cheated with the Gu, it suddenly felt much worse. You are almost fine, but my muscles and bones are still aching."
Zhao Changhe came back to his senses and said, "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. The effect of dual cultivation on external injuries is indeed not as obvious as that on internal injuries... The reason why I recovered quickly is that this Blood Demon Immortal Body has contributed more. So if you want to recover from your bone injury faster, you should go and see the witchcraft of the spirit race, which may be effective... But I don't think it's necessary to be so anxious. We still have a lot of things to digest here. For example, I want to take a rest now and then go to the cemetery to take a look..."
Yue Hongling asked curiously, "Why are you going to the cemetery in the middle of the night?"
"Go and feel the aura of the Yin corpse. It is strongest at midnight."
Yue Hongling knew that he was preparing for the next step, so she was carefree and didn't bother with love. She stood up and dressed: "Let's go, I'll go with you. I fought with the Black Miao King and got some insights. Maybe you can refer to it."
The female knight didn't realize that she was being treated so well, and Zhao Changhe didn't dare to say anything...
The blind man was standing not far behind with his arms folded, watching the two people walking hand in hand back to the cemetery, with a hint of mockery on his lips.
Virtue, aren't you just studying the power of the Yin corpse
As for whether or not to teach him about cause and effect... the blind man frowned slightly, feeling a little conflicted.
Really, Xia Longyuan is even less educated, how can he practice on his own? You are a college student, and your mind is full of muscles and dragon birds, do you have any shame...
Still want to be my master
Go die first!
… …
"The transformation of the corpse puppet's body into steel and its enormous strength is a question that has always puzzled me."
Under the moonlight, the young couple strolled on the grave hill. Yue Hongling looked at the bones around them and discussed in a low voice.
During the day, many spirits were still here to bury the skeletons again, and they had not yet finished. Now it was late at night, and even the bravest spirits did not dare to do this work at night, so they had to stop. So now the graveyard looked more terrifying than usual, with pits and holes everywhere, and a lot of the soil was not compacted, and you could see the bones exposed underneath, and some of the bones were even placed on the hillside, shining brightly under the moonlight, which was creepy.
Even though the two men are skilled and brave, they are not superstitious. It is hard not to feel a little numb when seeing this scene.
But it was precisely this kind of scene that was particularly eerie, and it was when the so-called Yin corpse energy was at its strongest. If there was another person who knew how to play with corpse puppets here at this time, it might be another undead disaster.
After listening to Yue Hongling's words that livened up the atmosphere, Zhao Changhe said, "Don't you think the weirdest thing is that someone who has been dead for so long and is clearly dead can still have a spirit that can be revived? This is different from the concept of ancient gods and demons who were not completely dead but resurrected. These dry bones are really dead."
Yue Hongling said: "If what I think is correct, this is the so-called Yin Corpse Power. This Yin Qi echoes and summons the soul fire that has not dispersed around the corpse to gather. The stronger the person, the more soul fire that has not dispersed, and the more thinking they can have. Ordinary skeletons can only act instinctively, which is consistent with what you and I have seen. The soul fire of the Black Miao King that I have seen can exist in any part of the body instead of the spirit platform we know. It can be seen that the spirit platform has long lost its original meaning, and the effect of placing it in any position is the same."
Zhao Changhe looked at Yin Kui's skills in the heavenly book, compared them with Yue Hongling's statement, and said: "So this is not martial arts at all."
Yue Hongling smiled and said, "Use martial arts to reach the mysteries. Martial arts are just a path. Why bother about it?"
Zhao Changhe nodded, stopped beside a skeleton, and squatted down to examine it.
In fact, the so-called soul fire that Yue Hongling refers to is the phosphorescent dots on the side of the skull that can be seen by the naked eye. Modern people know that thing as phosphorescent fire, which has nothing to do with the soul. But Yue Hongling's conclusion based on this wrong premise is not necessarily wrong, because the Yin corpse aura does exist. The strong still have some obsessions buried underground and solidified before they are dispersed, which aggregate into soul fire.
If one wants to learn this method of corpse puppetry, one must first control the aura of the corpse, and secondly, find the obsession belonging to the corpse and so on, and gather them into soul fire, and then control it with one's own imprint... This is completely different from what everyone has learned. It is impossible to master it if one learns it now, but one can definitely find out the principle of how Jiuyou's abilities work. Knowing oneself and the enemy, one will not be caught off guard when dealing with it.
The blind man rushed into the dream, probably mainly to urge this point. It seems that Jiuyou's strength made the blind man nervous...
Come to think of it, no wonder Jiuyou had to be beaten by the Night Emperor. Death, corpses and flames belonged to Suzaku in the Night Emperor's system. Suzaku was also studying this before he left Beijing. It can be said that there was a clear dispute between the two sides over the priesthood. Even if we don't mention "priesthood", there can only be one master of all things in the world. Ye Wuzong wanted to compete with Feng Yin for the control of the wind, and he was also competing with Lie for the blood evil. How could the Night Emperor tolerate Jiuyou
Of course, there are overlaps between the two sides, and there are also places where they don't overlap, such as extinction and chaos. But no matter what, in the future, when facing Jiuyou, Zhuque might be more professional than himself, so he has to go back to get help.
"How is it? Did you gain anything?" Yue Hongling asked while squatting on the side.
Zhao Changhe really felt warm. He could see that Yue Hongling was also a little bit scared by the ghostly aura of the grave, but she still accompanied him to discuss it. He reached out and held Yue Hongling's slightly cold hand: "Combined with the analysis of the heavenly book, your judgment is almost right. What we need to do now is to understand this evil aura. At least we can see it, so that we can be prepared in the future..."
Yue Hongling said: "It's obviously cold and gloomy, but what we see is fire; and the fire under the ground attracts snow from the sky, which is really mysterious. So is this fire considered the fire of the five elements?"
Zhao Changhe's spirit probed into the heavenly book of the five elements of nature and took a look. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him: "It is indeed the fire of the five elements, which is Yin fire. And there is something else related here, which is the answer to your original question."
Yue Hongling was stunned for a moment. The initial question... "You mean steel and giant strength?"
"Well, that's not entirely the effect of the Corpse Puppet Technique. Instead, it's because they've absorbed gold energy underground for many years and turned into steel, and absorbed the power of the earth to become thick and powerful. Their Corpse Puppet Technique is just to consolidate these, just like pouring water into a mold. So Yin Kui didn't have to spend too much effort to awaken countless skeletons, and most of that wasn't his credit."
Yue Hongling was about to speak but stopped. Zhao Changhe turned his head and glanced at her. Seeing the slightly troubled face of the female knight, he smiled and said, "You originally thought that their strengthening mode might be worth studying to strengthen your sword body? But then you thought that this was for the dead and you couldn't stand it?"
Yue Hongling shook his head: "What does my sword body have to do with this? I just think it's suitable for you to use... Your body has always lacked protection, and you get injured every day..."
Zhao Changhe stared at her in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
"Don't be so touched." Yue Hongling snorted, "It's for the dead, I, I..."
Zhao Changhe smiled brightly: "Then there's no need."
Yue Hongling had really felt a little bit uneasy at first, but seeing Zhao Changhe was so decisive, her heart softened again. She thought to herself that letting Zhao Changhe continue to have a weak defense over such a trivial matter would be putting the cart before the horse.
Zhao Changhe had already determined the upgrade direction. If he wanted to break the defense, he must first improve the Blood Shura Body; and the next step in improving the Blood Shura Body must make up for the lack of defense. This matter is of vital importance, how can he stop because of this small problem
In order to find a reason for Zhao Changhe to learn, Yue Hongling's brain turned quickly and soon found an explanation: "The idea of drawing the five elements into the body can't be said to be exclusive to the dead, right? Well... there should be many corresponding schools in the world. I think their Buddhist Golden Bell Cover and Shenhuang Sect's body forging may have applications in this aspect. You have the Heavenly Book, maybe you can create another method!"
Zhao Changhe was about to say forget it, but suddenly something happened to him and he stood up happily: "Sister Yue, you are really my lucky star."
Yue Hongling was inexplicably pulled up by him, held tightly in his arms and spun around.
Yue Hongling didn't know why he was so happy, but this joyful mood also made her laugh: "Okay, okay, you are always like a child. Tell me what you thought of."
Zhao Changhe smiled but did not answer: "Basically, we have a rough idea of the power of the Yin corpses and the energy of gold and earth. Don't stay here any longer. It's very creepy. Go back and rest. Your bone injury has not healed yet, so you should take good care of yourself."
Yue Hongling had been learning how to control the wind for a whole day until now, and her injured bones were indeed starting to ache. So she didn't hesitate to hug Zhao Changhe's neck and said, "Carry me."
Zhao Changhe readily carried her on his back, and the couple went down the mountain smilingly.
The blind man curled his lips and looked at the backs of the two people who looked youthful even though they were an old couple. Suddenly, he thought maliciously, you didn't clean up after you did it before, is your crotch sticky now
Forget it, let’s not ask. If you ask, you can imagine what that guy will use to clean up.
… …
Just ask this:
"Have you mastered the energy of the Yin Corpse, or found a way to complete your Blood Shura Body? You are smiling like a flower for no apparent reason, and you don't even bother to visit the grave."
In the secluded hut, the fire basin was warm, and Yue Hongling had already fallen asleep on the bed. Zhao Changhe was sitting by the window alone, warming himself by the fire and drinking hot wine, seemingly enjoying himself, when he suddenly heard the blind man's question.
Zhao Changhe looked up and saw the blind man standing in front of him with his arms folded. He couldn't help but feel a little curious: "I said, when you usually appear, am I the only one who can see you?"
The blind man said calmly: "Whoever I want to see can see it. When I don't want anyone to see it, no one can see it."
"Tsk, don't be so stiff..." Zhao Changhe poured a pot of hot wine and handed it over: "Then can you, as a spirit, drink it?"
The blind man was startled: "What are you doing?"
"Let's chat." Zhao Changhe said with a smile: "After all, hot wine can be decomposed into energy. I think you can drink it. Here."
As he spoke, he casually swung the wine bowl, and it floated steadily in front of the blind man.
The blind man took it casually, thought about it, and simply sat on the chair opposite him. The two of them were separated by a small coffee table on both sides, and they were both leaning lazily and drinking.
After Zhao Changhe took a sip, he turned around to look at the blind man drinking, and felt an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart.
The blind man let out a breath of foul air and suddenly laughed: "It's been a long time since I last drank alcohol... It's quite interesting."
Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "That's good. At least now you and I are old acquaintances who have known each other for more than two years, drinking and chatting, instead of having some high-ranking thing pretending to be cool and guessing riddles every day."
The blind man sneered: "Aren't you the riddle teller now?"
"It will take time to detect the aura of the Yin corpse, but if you think about it more in the next few days, you will be able to see it. Of the things you asked me to study, at least this one is being completed. You can't do everything at once, you should take your time..."
“Heh…” The blind man sipped his wine and didn’t answer.
Zhao Changhe also took a sip of wine and said, "As for the Blood Shura Body, I do have an idea."
The blind man said, "Your so-called idea, can't it be that if you practice double cultivation with the White Tiger of this generation, you can resist gold?"
"I have that idea, but not now. Chi Chi has obtained the Eastern Dao Fruit, so her understanding of the Azure Dragon Law is far superior to others. She has not caught up with the White Tiger... Even if I want to borrow her insights, it is not enough."
"Then what are you happy about?"
"The reason why I am strong in attack but weak in defense is, firstly, determined by my tactics, and secondly, the muscle structure formed by body building has its own bias. My bias is towards strength and attack, while the Shenhuang Sect is more inclined to resist attacks. When the muscle and blood structure has been finalized, it makes it difficult for even Guigui to teach me how to defend." Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Since the elements can change their own structure by introducing gold and earth into the body, can we change our thinking and introduce something else?"
The blind man's expression moved slightly.
"We are in the Spirit Tribe. Lie came from the Spirit Tribe. He definitely doesn't follow the Five Elements when training his body... If he needs to introduce something into his body to temporarily change his muscle composition and switch from offense to defense, then what is it?" Zhao Changhe said with a smile, "It can only be a beast or a Gu. I am in Lie's ancestral land, why should I look for a donkey on a donkey? The culmination of the Blood Shura Body is still here!"
The blind man stopped talking and lowered his head to sip his wine, indicating that he was right. If you take the intense bodybuilding method, this is the correct answer.
I have to say this guy is really smart, but unfortunately he's only smartest when it comes to muscles.
Zhao Changhe squinted his eyes and looked at the profile of the blind man Ruyu, and suddenly said: "Just now we talked about Chi Chi's Jin Zhiyu... She herself is stuck in the creation of the white tiger. Should she also travel west at the appropriate time?"
The blind man said casually: "The Western White Tiger is naturally in the west. Why do you even ask this?"
Zhao Changhe said: "When I was watching the Yin Fire just now, I thought of asking the Vermillion Bird to come here to deal with Jiuyou, and now I thought of asking the White Tiger to come here as well. The so-called 'Vermillion Bird and White Tiger meet in the southwest wilderness' is actually connected like this... Could it be that this sentence really doesn't necessarily refer to time, but really represents the people related to the Four Symbols and Five Elements?"
The blind man asked, "Because you thought of the Vermillion Bird and the White Tiger coming here from different things, it proves that the proverb is related to this? Did you learn logic from the doorman? What about the logical chain in between?"
"That's how I investigated cases before, working backwards from a pre-set result to verify it."
"Your investigations were mostly based on luck, and this time your inference is even more outrageous. That's called imagination, not verification."
"If I must infer the cause from this sentence, how do I verify it? Do I need to find other relevant clues, such as why Yin Kui knew the secret of the spirit race, to prove that Jiuyou should have some clues about this matter? Once all the clues are sorted out, the truth will come out."
"You are quite clear..." The blind man thought that he was just talking nonsense about one plus one equals two, so he said casually, "There must be a line of connection between cause and effect, and it is not a cause and effect out of thin air. As long as you grasp the line in the middle, whether you want to find the effect from the cause, or want to trace the cause from the effect, or even reverse the effect to the cause, or even cut off the cause and effect, the key is here."
"So this line is a logical chain in reality, and it can be realized, seen, and controlled in practice." Zhao Changhe suddenly stood up from the table, clasped his hands and bowed slightly, and saluted: "Thank you for your guidance on the way of cause and effect."
"Puff..." The blind man spat out a mouthful of wine and stood there in a daze for a moment.
This seems... Although it is said in a simple way, it really brings out the basic essence.
I truly taught him the practice of cause and effect!
What on earth am I here to drink and ask
Seeing Zhao Changhe's smile, the blind man remained expressionless for a long while before saying, "You were so happy before, but you were so happy because you found a way to trick me?"
"Because you want me to make progress, I fell into this trap. This is cause and effect." Zhao Changhe became serious: "Thank you."
The blind man hesitated to speak.
This is a bullshit cause and effect. I don’t expect you to make any progress at all!
