Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 737: Small galaxy

Views:

Forget about going to Kunlun to fight them one by one. In fact, Zhao Changhe’s next target is not Kunlun at all, so he doesn’t have the time for that.

I don’t really dare... Going to Kunlun at this time, Zhao Changhe suspected that he would die a miserable death.

This winter will soon be over. Zhao Changhe can guarantee with his head that during this period, Timur is collecting the results of the surprise attack on Batu and preparing his troops, just waiting for the snow to stop. Within ten days after the beginning of spring, they will surely be attacked from both sides by Timur's troops approaching Yanmen and Li's troops coming out of Longyou. There is no doubt about it.

This amount of time was not enough for the newly born Han Dynasty to manage its military. It was only enough to reorganize and train the surrendered soldiers from Wang and Yang families. Although the number of troops increased significantly, the time was too short. It was still unknown how effective the army would be after just one month of reorganization. It might take half a month just to march and assemble...

The problem brought about by the increase in military forces is the extreme shortage of military pay and food. This is what worried Chi Chiwanzhuang and the others before leaving Beijing. The so-called sweet potato strategy cannot be implemented in this period of time, and I don't know how many solutions they have found now.

In short, that was the most difficult battle since the founding of the Han Dynasty. If we couldn't survive it, the country would be destroyed. Everyone had to make all possible preparations in this short period of time.

It is unknown how Zhuque's Three Jin strategy is going, and Zhao Changhe went to Miaojiang, not for Miaojiang, but for Bashu.

Li Shentong is now the ruler of Bashu... Zhao Changhe hopes that he can put some pressure on Longyou, which is strategic. Originally, Zhao Changhe still believed in Li Shentong's character. However, according to Wanzhuang's opinion, no matter why Li Shentong started the rebellion, he can't act on impulse now. He must be responsible for the entire force. It doesn't mean that he will definitely help the court if he hates the Hu people and the aristocratic families. If the new dynasty is too weak, there is a certain possibility that Li Shentong will have other ideas.

This is the meaning of coming to Miaojiang. We need to let Li Shentong know that the situation in the Xin Dynasty is not as bad as you think. If you dare to act rashly, I can explode your anus. This is the basis for negotiation and cooperation, instead of just talking about righteousness.

As for Kunlun, it was in chaos at the moment, and no force from either side was likely to participate in the dispute between the Hu and Han peoples, so it could be put aside for the time being. However, there was some hostility towards Zhao Changhe personally, but that was another matter.

If it weren't for the unexpected discovery of Jiuyou and other problems, Zhao Changhe would not have stayed in Miaojiang for long. He should have headed north to Bashu to find Li Shentong as soon as he was done here. However, due to the existence of unknown demons such as Jiuyou and the blind man seemed to be nervous, Zhao Changhe calmed down for the time being and practiced here first.

If he could break through the Imperial Realm before leaving, it would be the safest option. But unfortunately, the Imperial Realm was not that easy to break. At least Zhao Changhe, who had practiced for less than two and a half years, was still a little short of it.

The theory of using the body as the foundation to echo the stars is definitely correct. Now that I have pushed the body training to a high level, not only have the shortcomings in defense been made up, but my strength and blood have also made great progress. But if I say that I am one with the stars and that every move I make can bring about the resonance of the stars, then I am obviously still a level away from this level.

Just a little bit.

"Ding ding ding~" Beside the thatched cottage, Yue Hongling, who felt that Miaojiang had no use for him at all, came back and was practicing with Zhao Changhe.

Facts have proved that the blind man's private goods not only had no effect on Sisi, but inexplicably cast an extremely mysterious aura on Sisi - even the book of chaotic times did not dare to accurately evaluate it, and gave it an unprecedented pattern. What is the concept? So that now the Miao border is horrified, but it makes Sisi's road to unification easier.

Not to mention outsiders, even Yue Hongling was a little scared. The first thing she said when she came back and saw Zhao Changhe was: "The level of their spiritual race ancestors may be higher than we thought. They can even influence the Book of Chaos."

Zhao Changhe: "... Actually, don't be too in awe of books about troubled times. I think the writing style of those people is not that good, and they often can't come up with poems."

"Is that a problem with the writing style? That's the feedback from the heavens! Even if it's written like a child's scribbles, what does it matter?"

“Hmm…” Zhao Changhe had no way of complaining to others about how stupid the blind man was now. He felt so uncomfortable holding back all his complaints that he could only concentrate on sparring with Yue Hongling.

Both of them were half-step into the realm of imperial control at the moment, and they were both a level short of something, so they hoped to find the feeling through sparring. Of course, this kind of sparring could no longer be double cultivation, but actual combat.

Then Zhao Changhe discovered that Yue Hongling was definitely the most terrifying opponent of the same level he had ever encountered.

If I didn't rely on the power of the artifact, I couldn't do anything to Yue Hongling, and even if I used all my tricks, it would be just an equal fight. Of course, it was because both sides knew each other's tricks too well, and also because Yue Hongling's actual combat ability was definitely the best in the world. She was the representative of the four words "challenging beyond one's level"...

With a "ding" sound, Yue Hongling slashed Zhao Changhe's chest with a sword, but only left a shallow mark.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Changhe slashed her wrist with a knife.

Yue Hongling's shadow flashed and appeared behind her, but the Galaxy Sword was already waiting for her there.

Yue Hongling had no choice but to pick up the Xinghe Sword, retreated several feet, and shook his head, saying, "You and I are too familiar with each other. Practicing against each other won't increase our practical experience much, so it's not very useful."

Zhao Changhe shrugged.

Yue Hongling sighed: "In fact, I can't beat you anymore, right? You didn't use the power of the Galaxy Sword and Dragon Bird."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Why are you so hung up on this? Even if I defeated you with the help of external objects, it's nothing to brag about. I see that your sword spirit has also matured. It seems that the battle to kill the Black Miao King has greatly promoted it. This is a sword spirit that has grown with you. In the end, its power will not be inferior to Xinghe at all."

Yue Hongling said, "But that will be a long time in the future. The war is imminent, and I hope to quickly improve my combat power... Since breaking the defense is difficult, it is not a bad idea to upgrade the sword first. Can you let Xiao Que come out and play with me? I always feel that more contact with the formed sword spirit will help to stimulate my sword spirit."

Zhao Changhe reached out his hand again and pulled the female bird out.

Long Que was not as uncomfortable this time as he was the last time he drew his sword. He sat cross-legged in the air and said speechlessly, "I am not responsible for taking care of the baby! Xinghe, that little brat, is already annoying enough, and here there is an even smaller one!"

Zhao Changhe was stunned by what he said: "Why, according to what you said, you and Xinghe still communicate normally?"

Long Que said: "Of course there is. That bastard stares at people coldly with a pair of wooden eyes every day. I don't know who has offended her. She won't answer when you talk to her, and she turns around to show me her butt. What's so good about that shriveled little butt..."

Zhao Changhe: “…”

Redefining communication.

After all this time, it's obviously you who is annoying them, right? They don't even bother to pay attention to you, how can you say that it's others who are annoying you

Come to think of it, it seemed like Xinghe was still a baby before, but according to Longque, she has grown up

Zhao Changhe handed Longque to Yue Hongling to take care of the baby, took out the Xinghe Sword and sat by the hut to study it.

The spirit probed into the sword, and the world in the sword looked like a small starry sky. A little girl about three or four years old was lying on the galaxy with her arms as a pillow. The girl was dressed in black, and her ink-black eyes were staring at the higher stars in the night sky without blinking.

Feeling the master's spirit entering, the little girl turned her head and took a look, and Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat.

Those silent, indifferent, lifeless eyes on a little girl's face, the contrast is simply indescribable.

But this is the Galaxy Sword.

Dragon Bird is a wild sword spirit that rose from the bloodbath of war, symbolizing dominance and ferocity... Well, although it seems a bit out of place, it has not deviated from its essence, it is wild and ferocious. The Galaxy Sword is based on the Night Emperor sword blank, which has determined its night sky attributes. It is quiet, vast, under the moonlight, and eternal. This is what it should be like.

If Ye Di was a woman, she might have looked like this when she was alive, a larger version.

Zhao Changhe suddenly thought, the blind man was like this when he first met him, and he even wore black clothes... I don't know if this is a common trait of the heavens, or if the blind man also has attributes like the night sky? I did suspect that the Night Emperor and the blind man were related, but later I felt that they were not related, and now this suspicion has arisen again.

But now the blind man is much more human, a bit like "If only life could be as it was when we first met"...

Well, coming back to the point, if the Night Emperor is a larger version of the Galaxy Sword Spirit, and the Galaxy Sword Spirit was forged by himself... Different from the crowds of Dragon Bird, if I am considered Xinghe's father and want to find Xinghe's mother, then is Xinghe's mother considered the Night Emperor

Seeing her master looking at her, the little girl didn't say anything, just staring at him quietly. Until Zhao Changhe came to his senses, he apologized and said, "Xiao Xinghe, I'm sorry, Daddy has been too distracted and hasn't talked to you properly."

Xinghe seemed stunned, and tilted his head in confusion: "Dad... Dad?"

Then he scratched his head again: "You are my master."

Zhao Changhe dared to swear that he had some YY thoughts when he called the female little bird "master", but he definitely didn't have that kind of feeling towards this girl, and he didn't even want her to call him that. He squatted in front of the little girl and rubbed her head: "I created you with my own hands, how can there be a master and a servant?"

In fact, in Xinghe's eyes, the master was incomprehensible. The sword spirit's thinking was definitely different from that of humans. It was more convinced that this was the master, and had no idea what father and mother were. Anyway, it didn't refute what Zhao Changhe said, but just sat there quietly watching him, with a little confusion in its quiet eyes.

Zhao Changhe was so overwhelmed by the cuteness that he almost wanted to slap himself twice. Such a cute baby, his own child! He actually let others raise him until he was three or four years old without even taking a look at him!

Uh wait… Xinghe was created less than two months ago, how come he’s already three or four years old…

The sword spirit and the master are connected. Although they don't understand many of Zhao Changhe's thoughts, they can sense his love for him very clearly. Xinghe inexplicably feels a warm emotion. Noticing the master's age confusion, he took the initiative to say: "The sword spirit needs the master to nurture with the sword intent. The more the master uses me with the sword intent of Xinghe, the faster I grow... Although the master usually uses me for sneak attacks, hiding in the quicksand of the night is indeed one of my images. But can the master use this less? Using too much may be a bit detrimental to my growth..."

Zhao Changhe immediately patted his chest and said, "Use less, definitely use less! I will never let you bury yourself in the sand again!"

"Not really..." Xinghe's face was very serious: "My fastest growth was in the two battles with Huanghuang Fengyin. At that time, the master used me as a medium to draw the power of the stars, not only to control this sword, but also to control the stars. Moreover, the feeling that I was the only one under the night sky and that all the evil spirits and monsters had no place to hide made me grow up a lot..."

Zhao Changhe remembered that when he was fighting off Huang Huan and Feng Yin's sneak attack, he shot an arrow into the sky and shouted, "Here is the Heavenly Book, come and get it." At that moment, he seemed to really feel that Xinghe's momentum had changed a little.

This is not just the Starry Sky Sword, it is the Night Emperor Sword, an Emperor Sword Blank... and a Heavenly Emperor level. The Galaxy Sword Intention contains a large part of "momentum", if it is only used for sneak attacks, it will really go astray.

Zhao Changhe broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately he paid some attention to it. If he had really raised this cute kid astray, he would never forgive himself.

etc…

It is both to control this sword and to control the galaxy...

Zhao Changhe's body outside the sword suddenly stood up.

Just when he was worried that he couldn't find out how to control the Milky Way through his physical body, it turned out that the key was in his hands all along.

You have your own medium! You can use the medium first, and when you become proficient in it, you can get rid of it. That is a natural breakthrough. Why do you have to figure it out yourself

Zhao Changhe happily picked up Xinghe and lifted him up high twice: "Thank you, little Xinghe, you solved a big problem for me."

Xinghe's expressionless face showed a very slight smile, as if the feeling of being lifted up high was fun. Of course, it would be best if he could help his master, so that his master wouldn't always use the stinky dragon bird as the main attack, and he would only be able to make a sneak attack every time. He hated seeing the smug face of the stinky dragon bird.

But unfortunately, the master's main skill was the sword, and the sword technique was only a supplementary skill for him from the beginning. Although he was said to be a master of both sword and sword, Zhao Changhe was still considered to be a master of sword. It was unlikely that he would switch to sword as the master was sentimental, and Xinghe knew that he would never abandon Sister Longque.

But it doesn't matter, Xinghe doesn't fight for this, it wants to grow up. For a sword spirit, growing up means becoming stronger, and a sword spirit that doesn't want to be a divine sword spirit is not a good sword spirit. At present, it and Longque are both divine sword spirits, and whether they can achieve it depends on the growth of their masters.

But Zhao Changhe's spirit left the sword and he suddenly shouted to the void: "Blind."

The blind man was speechless: "Don't keep calling me if you have nothing to do. Am I here to chat with you?"

Before he finished his words, a galaxy of stars came straight towards him.

The blind man was stunned, and then he saw falling stars all over the sky and the Milky Way hanging upside down.

She yawned and waved her hand, and all the strange phenomena disappeared completely. Zhao Changhe was knocked back by the invisible wall of air and almost fell down. He staggered for several steps before he could stand firm.

"With your limited ability..." The blind man yawned and turned away: "You're wasting my time... That's not right."

She suddenly turned her head: "How do you know my location?"

Zhao Changhe stood firm and smiled slightly: "Look at the qi."

"Your ability to read qi is not enough to read my qi."

"I am looking at the thread of cause and effect, faintly visible in the void. There is no one around, so aren't you the only one?"

The blind man was silent for a while, then whispered, "Can you already see the causal line?"

"I can see some illusory lines, but I can't tell if they are causal lines. I can only guess that they are." Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "Is this considered a big improvement?"

“Although it is a trick that combines the way of Qi and the way of cause and effect, it is not easy for you to do this for the first time... You must know that the strength of the object you are looking at can also affect the result. You can see my dotted line, which is not something that ordinary demons can do. Even when I am not on guard, it is amazing.” The blind man said seriously: “Your talent for this kind of thing should be very average, how come you are so fast?”

Zhao Changhe said: "In fact, many people have forgotten that my real talents are in body building and the comprehension of martial arts, and my talent in swordsmanship was only average at first. I became more and more proficient in it by chopping countless times every day."

The blind man asked, "So what you mean is that ever since I told you about the cause and effect line, you have been simulating it in your own sea of consciousness?"

Zhao Changhe nodded: "The Heavenly Book has the effect of slowing down the display, which is quite effective in helping people get started. During this period of time, I have probably simulated it more than a thousand times..."

"..." The blind man admired the man's determination when he got angry: "So what's the meaning of your stabbing me with this sword?"

"I can simulate this sword infinitely in the heavenly book... I can control this galaxy right before my eyes."

The blind man sneered. He was not only practicing the Control of the Galaxy, but was actually trying to spy on his previous move.

As expected, Zhao Changhe soon looked grim: "Hey, you can't cheat, right? What do you mean by hiding your attack just now? I'm being honest with you, and you're just playing like this?"

The blind man said leisurely, "It doesn't matter to me whether you are honest or not. I am the book of chaos. You are spying on me through it, which is equivalent to stripping me in front of me. How could I not know this? It is because you know this that you pretend to be honest, just to make me agree."

Zhao Changhe sighed: "You can change the description."

The blind man sneered: "That's all you have. Now go practice your Galaxy Control, and don't expect to pry into my affairs."

As he spoke, his figure disappeared into the void again.

But Zhao Changhe suddenly shouted: "Xiao Xinghe looks a lot like you."

The blind man staggered and almost fell out of the air, but he quickly responded calmly: "I think I'm not blind, you are. How can your facial features be half the same?"

"You won't even let me see your eyes."

"… "

"Actually, what I mean by like is mainly the temperament. In the past, you came into my dreams to find me, hanging in the night, quiet and lofty, like a goddess of the dark night."

The blind man's voice was still calm: "If so, Jiuyou is more like it. Why did you say it was before? Isn't it now?"

"You are nothing now. Have you ever seen a goddess of the night sweating like soybeans?" Zhao Changhe said bitterly, "You have lost all your dignity."

The blind man suddenly laughed: "That's great."

Of course it’s good, not like your little galaxy, so there’s no need to guess.

The blind man disappeared into the void again and took a deep breath. This Zhao Changhe's intuition was really outrageous. It seemed that he should talk to him as little as possible.

Little Galaxy… The blind man’s divine consciousness entered the sword, and he looked at the little girl lying on the Galaxy and smiled slightly.

Xiao Xinghe looked at her steadily, a hint of confusion in his eyes as dark as night.

Immediately, the sword began to shake, and the starlight inside the sword began to flicker. It was Zhao Changhe repeatedly imitating the sword just now, and the stars responded and sparkled.

The blind man sighed. With this guy's talent, the realm of control is probably just around the corner. But if he keeps driving it with the medium, it can only be considered "fake". The real breakthrough, the blind man looked at the cause and effect lines at this moment, and actually found more than a dozen of them.

A man who has a dozen ways to break defense.
