In fact, it also benefited Sanniang herself. This time of practice was of great benefit to everyone, including Tang Wanzhuang, who was the guardian outside the formation. Everyone's practice improved a lot.
Obviously the one who benefited the most was Xia Chichi, who had the lowest level of cultivation. At this moment, she had naturally fallen into a state of meditation. Looking at her appearance, I wonder if she can break the defense when she wakes up.
After all, single-line cultivation is biased. Once the four-element cultivation of "you in me and I in you" can be mutually integrated and realized, the benefits will be unimaginable. If Xia Chichi was previously trapped in the dragon throne and lacked experience, then at this moment, everyone's experience is helping her and turning into her own understanding.
It was actually very similar to the principle of dual cultivation... Now, if two people at the second level of the Imperial Realm and three people at the first level of the Imperial Realm were helping a person close to the Imperial Realm to break through the Imperial Realm, I'm afraid the person who created the dual cultivation method would not have thought that there was such a good thing in the world. And everyone except her also benefited, and directly shared the breakthrough process from the first level to the second level, which was simply inestimable to the people who were still at the first level of the Imperial Realm.
The implication is not very pleasant. If a blind person sees this scene, he will probably be so angry that his chest hurts. Why write a book about troubled times? Isn't this just handing over a book indiscriminately
The person involved doesn't have so many messy thoughts. It would be best if she could be pissed off to death. Zhao Changhe glanced at Xia Chichi who was in meditation, and whispered to Sanniang: "Something is missing... The Four Symbols Formation cannot be fully practiced, it can only be an incomplete formation... The problem is me, I haven't mastered some things enough."
Sanniang nodded. With everyone's experience in cultivation, they could clearly detect the problem. The thing that was missing was exactly the meaning of time and space that Sanniang had asked Zhao Changhe about a while ago.
When the four symbols form a formation together, it must contain the concept of time and space, but Zhao Changhe really doesn't know this... Apart from the spatial connotation of the galaxy, nothing Zhao Changhe has come into contact with in his practice so far is related to time and space, and the connotation of the galaxy is not Zhao Changhe's own, so he cannot actively guide it.
Therefore, there is no need to continue practicing actual combat methods. Just from the flow of the meaning of this formation, you can realize that you cannot succeed in the end, and what is missing is the core key.
Looking back now, I have come into contact with all kinds of great laws, including life and death, existence and non-existence, cause and effect, qi and meridians, and all kinds of mysterious things. However, I have never come into contact with time and space, which is very powerful but very common in the fantasy world.
There were several projects that the blind man was a little anxious about at first, and urged Zhao Changhe to study, but he never mentioned time and space. I don't know if he was worried that Zhao Changhe would be exposed to the meaning of time and space too early and be able to "go back" by himself...
"Jiuyou said I was Ye Wuming's puppet... Tsk, I thought I wasn't at first, but now the more I think about it, the more I think it is true." Zhao Changhe smiled generously: "But she herself admitted that she had fiddled with my karma, but not everything was successful."
Sanniang and Huangfu Qing looked at each other in surprise: "She actually admitted this to you?"
"yes."
"Did she ever mention any unsuccessful examples?"
"… I was trying to stop you from being with me, but failed."
The two of them flew into a rage and slammed the ground, "Why does she do that? She originally said that she had no grudge against us and that she had the right to inherit the family. Now she sees that we won't beat her up!"
Zhao Changhe smiled and embraced the two of them, saying softly, "But I am very happy... This means that even if she can change everything, she can't change my marriage with you."
The two old ladies blushed at his words, and pinched his waist, one on each side: "If you didn't have the word 'we' in your words, we might be a little moved. Since you have this word, go back to where you came from! Go, go, go, we also need to be in meditation for a while to digest what we have learned."
As a result, Zhao Changhe's old waist was no longer in pain after being twisted. Instead, he kissed each other: "Okay, okay, everyone digest what you just learned first, and I will think about other things."
"Pooh."
Everyone was in a state of meditation. Zhao Changhe sat cross-legged, placing the Galaxy and Dragon Bird side by side on his legs, his mind immersed in the Galaxy Sword.
Since only the galaxy contains spatial implications, it is natural to start the exploration from here.
As a result, as soon as his mind penetrated the sword, he almost trembled with fright.
The little galaxy was floating quietly in the night sky, its inky black eyes staring straight at him, and he was horrified to death at the sight.
Immediately, I felt a little weird in my heart—it was not Xinghe that was weird, but I thought of the other two people. Xinghe looked like this, no matter if you said it was Ye Wuming or Ye Jiuyou's childhood, someone would definitely believe it. They should have this image and temperament, even including their abilities and attributes. But now, I have long forgotten when Ye Wuming started to laugh and get angry, it seems to have lasted for a long time, and Ye Jiuyou not only laughed happily, but was actually a little bit coquettish.
"Xiao Xinghe." Zhao Changhe leaned forward and said, "Dad hasn't come to see you for a long time. Has Sister Longque still bothered you recently?"
Dragon Bird: “…”
I thought Xiao Xinghe would not respond to this kind of chat that was obviously just for fun, but she actually responded: "When I killed Timur, she was a little noisy and jumped around saying that she had completed the greatest mission of her birth, but she soon stopped making noise."
"soon?"
"Well, because I think her achievements are too low-class, she was very depressed and shut herself in."
Zhao Changhe: "... Then what is your ideal?"
Xiao Xinghe said: "I will do whatever my father tells me to do."
"Well, that's not what I meant. Just like when the Dragon Bird was born, it was the sword that Lao Xia used to conquer the world. Its innate mission was to drive the Tartars north and bring peace to the world. Did you... Wait a minute, what did you call me?"
"Dad."
Zhao Changhe was a little stunned. In the past, when he called himself dad, Xinghe ignored him. He asked her to call him dad in a funny way, but she just called him master. This was normal. In Jian Ling's mind, she didn't know what dad was. In her concept, there was only master.
Since when did he start calling him dad so naturally? Zhao Changhe almost wondered if he had lost a part of his memory.
Xinghe said: "Since the master thinks this is daddy, then he is daddy, it's just a matter of changing the word."
"But Xiao Xinghe is so smart. He has heard and seen countless things with me. He should know that the two words have different meanings."
Not to mention anything else, just the affection between the Cui family's father and daughter, Xinghe would naturally know that it was completely different from the concept of master.
But Xinghe said: "It is indeed different. You are the father, not the master."
Zhao Changhe: “?”
No way, I was so busy that I barely spoke to you. The most time we spent together was during our rest time in the Eldar tribe. I didn't raise you or teach you anything, so why does Xinghe think this is his father
Xinghe said: "It doesn't matter what Xinghe thinks of me. I treat her as my daughter and that's enough. I won't give her to anyone else. Dad said this, so it's Dad."
Zhao Changhe blinked his eyes, remembering that he had said this to Jiuyou in Chang'an before the Northern Expedition. Jiuyou wanted the Galaxy Sword at that time, and the exchange condition seemed to be... helping him get Ye Wuming? Then he refused.
So Xinghe thinks this is his father
"Well..." Zhao Changhe felt guilty: "Well, Daddy is really not responsible. He has never had time to accompany you. He has never taken care of you... And, and the purpose of coming this time is just..."
"Did Dad come here just because he needed to comprehend space?"
Zhao Changhe was so ashamed that he didn't know how to respond. In essence, he just treated me as a sword. How could he have the nerve to call me dad
Xinghe didn't think about these things at all, he just said: "I have the meaning of space, but I don't know how to guide others to start practicing in this area. If dad has relevant practice tips, come to me later, then maybe I can get something."
To understand means that one is born with the ability to do math problems, but the principles cannot be taught.
Zhao Changhe touched his chin. The clue to start practicing is there. Ying Wu knows how to do it... Let him teach some basics that don't involve advanced things. Ying Wu shouldn't refuse. Then he can ask his daughter to learn the advanced things.
This plan is much better than other projects, which are basically learned from the Book of Heaven... and will not be limited by Ye Wuming.
However, if space can be solved in this way, what about time? And theoretically speaking, space and time are interdependent. Do we need to learn them together
But Xinghe said, "Dad, when studying the Four Symbols Formation, he doesn't need to consider time too much. It's no longer useful for fighting, it's like using divine punishment to hit a mosquito."
Zhao Changhe's mind moved: "What is that for?"
“Beyond the other side.”
"Why?"
Xinghe scratched his head in confusion for a rare moment, and after a while he said hesitantly, "Great freedom beyond all constraints?"
Zhao Changhe thought thoughtfully: "Why does Xiao Xinghe know so much, and some of his words..."
"That's what my mother said."
"?"
Xinghe learned the word "dad" from me, which is different from this world. But I never told her about the concept of "mom". It could only be that she learned it from what she saw and heard in the world, so she called it "mother".
This means that in the concept of Xinghe, he really has a mother... Then who is your mother
Xinghe said: "Since my father was the one who forged me, then my mother must have been the one who laid the foundation for me..."
Zhao Changhe twitched his lips. That's right. This logic is impeccable. So unlike Longque, who looks like a huge crowd, Xinghe looks like... Sorry, Xiaxia, we have a child. Transcend the other shore... Great freedom...
"So..." Zhao Changhe thought for a moment and repeated his original question: "What is your innate mission?"
"Help my mother reach the other side."
Zhao Changhe pursed his lips and subconsciously reached out to rub Xinghe's head, but found nothing. Then he remembered that she was just a spirit, so he reached out and rubbed her again, this time firmly.
Xinghe's expressionless face inexplicably showed some expression, as if he had never expected that someone would be so bored as to use the ability to turn the virtual into the real to touch a sword spirit's head, or as if he had never thought about what it felt like to be touched on the head by someone.
Zhao Changhe also felt that he was a little stupid and withdrew his hand awkwardly.
Xinghe stared at his hand, as if he was a little expectant.
Zhao Changhe tried to reach out and touch it again, and Xinghe showed a little joy.
Zhao Changhe's heart was suddenly touched, he picked up Xinghe and lifted him up high twice: "Dad will go out and play with you."
Xinghe shook his head: "Xinghe doesn't like to go out and play."
Hmm... Speaking of accompanying a child, this child is different. She may not like running around and prefers to stay still. If Longque could go out to play, the palace might be overturned. Poor Zhao Changhe, who has never taken care of a child, was stuck for a while and didn't know how to accompany this child.
Xinghe said: "You can ask Sister Longque to fight with me. I like fighting with Sister Longque."
"?"
I understand that Jian Ling’s hobby is fighting, but didn’t you complain about her being noisy before? And you just made her autistic.
Xinghe added: "She just needs to stop yelling 'wahahaha am I awesome' and be a quiet sword that can only fight... You can't say how awesome you are with your mouth, and she's so stupid with her hands on her hips..."
"Who are you calling stupid, you stinky fish!" The next moment a young girl rushed into the sword with her fist clenched in anger.
Xinghe's eyes lit up and he jumped out of Zhao Changhe's arms. The two children, one big and one small, soon started to fight with each other.
Zhao Changhe was stunned as he watched the children wrestling and rolling in the air.
I... I have a high-end, heavenly-grade sword spirit. Is this how I fight
The most embarrassing thing is that although Longque is much bigger than Xinghe, when they are evenly matched in a fight, Longque seems to be slightly at a disadvantage.
Hearing the stubborn voice coming from the void, "Did your stinky dad teach you how to be so powerful?", Zhao Changhe covered his face and pulled Long Que up: "What do you mean by 'your stinky dad'? I'm not your dad?"
Long Que kicked in the air: "Of course not, you come to accompany this trash instead of me, and I am obviously your main battle sword!"
"… I was looking for Xinghe just to sense the space. Well, I was wrong on both counts. Can I spend more time with you guys when I have time in the future?"
"Dad, don't argue with us while we fight." Xinghe ran over to save her sister who was lifted in the air.
Zhao Changhe was eventually driven out of the sword by the two sisters. He wanted to learn the way of space but didn't learn anything. However, he unexpectedly learned some ancient thoughts of Ye Wuming.
But this doesn’t seem to be important. The greatest significance of this time is to spend more time with the children.
Just like Yangyang, it was only when something happened to her that I realized how little time I had spent with her.
… …
His mind withdrew from the sword, and he turned around to see that everyone else was in meditation, except Xia Chichi, who was looking at him with sparkling eyes, as if smiling.
Her cultivation level is the lowest, so the time she needs to digest things is not as long as others.
"Is it broken?" Zhao Changhe asked.
"Yeah." Xia Chichi didn't seem to care about this question. She stood up and stretched out her slender hand in front of him, making an invitation gesture: "Will you accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk?"
"good."
The two of them left the Imperial Temple hand in hand and walked towards the Imperial Garden. Xia Chichi smiled gently along the way, as if she was in a good mood.
Zhao Changhe turned his head and glanced at her: "You...are in a good mood? Because of Po Yu?"
"No, because I sensed that you were playing with the child." Xia Chichi said softly: "Then I thought that we would have children in the future, and that would be the case then."
Zhao Changhe didn't know what to say for a moment... If he asked which of his beauties had the most difficult childhood, it would definitely be Chi Chi, who must have been most affected by this. He didn't know if talking more would make her recall the scenes from her early years...
Finally, Xia Chichi himself said: "What we are doing is to prevent future generations from experiencing the pain we experienced. This is true for individuals and for governing the world."
Zhao Changhe said, "You are a good emperor... To be honest, I supported you at first, but I doubted whether you could do it well. As it turns out, you did much better than I thought."
Xia Chichi smiled and said, "So you don't trust my determination? Or do you not trust my ability?"
Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "After all, it's very difficult to have never done this before. It's much more difficult than practicing."
"It's not that difficult actually." Xia Chichi said slowly, "If you haven't tried it, you'll never know how comfortable it is to have Tang Wanzhuang. She's so capable. If you do it, as long as she's there, you'll definitely do no worse than me, maybe even better... After all, she doesn't always listen to me, and sometimes she'll talk back and disobey me, which makes me very worried. But if it were you, she might implement your orders without any bottom line."
"Not really. I insist on evening makeup."
"What are you insisting on? Taking the initiative to ask the Venerable to serve you together, you are still the Tang Wanzhuang we remember."
"Still eating vinegar that's been there for so long?"
"No, let's wait and see if she wakes up. I'll stay with her tonight."
Zhao Changhe didn't answer this.
Xia Chichi glanced at him and said, "You're not in the mood? It's only one day of the three days we agreed to with Ying Wu. You can't just forget about food and drink. That's not fair to us."
Zhao Changhe said: "Uh... not really, it's just that you don't have to consider things like two of you together... it's also unfair."
"It doesn't matter. It's still hard for a person to satisfy you. It's not a good experience to be paralyzed by you every time." Xia Chichi muttered and complained, "Just like a bull."
"… "
Xia Chichi added: "In fact, it would be better if Yue Hongling is willing for me to practice with her. After all, I have been learning the White Tiger since I was a child. Even if I can't keep up now, my accumulation and understanding are not comparable to hers at the beginning. If we practice together, we can share."
Zhao Changhe asked: "You... aren't angry?"
"Master's suggestion was out of public interest. The White Tiger does need a successor, especially when facing the Ancient White Tiger, and we have to eliminate the troubles ahead." Xia Chichi said, "Of course, if I say that I don't feel unhappy at all, I would be lying. After all, the most important thing is to take care of the big things. In fact, I know that this is also a very difficult decision for Yue Hongling... Because she accepted my things, it should be a stain in her heart. She will not be able to raise her head in front of me, and she will not have the confidence to quarrel with me, but she still wants it... She is also for the public interest. Today's opponents are stronger than each other, and no one has the time to consider their own face."
Zhao Changhe had never really thought about this before, but after hearing what Xia Chichi said, he thought it would provoke a quarrel between the two, but in fact, they never quarreled again.
Yue Hongling's voice came from behind: "If I don't join the Four Symbols Sect, I will never be a true White Tiger. I learned this sword meaning only to make up for the deficiencies in the formation... In the future, when the Four Symbols Sect selects a qualified White Tiger Saint, Hongling is willing to pass on the meaning of the White Tiger to her along with all her life's learning. Or..."
The two stopped and looked back. Yue Hongling was leaning against a peach tree in the imperial garden, smiling.
It seems that he came to Xia Chichi intentionally to discuss the issue of White Tiger.
"Or what?" Xia Chichi asked.
"Or pass it on to your prince or princess." Yue Hongling blinked: "Although this child has many concubines, I have reserved the position of godmother."
