book of troubled times

Chapter 896: Blue Sea and Blue Sky, Every Night

The process of forging a sword takes much longer than it did at the beginning.

That time of reforging the Dragon Bird was just an appetizer for forging the Galaxy, just to try it out, and it only took a stick of incense.

This time it took a whole day, which was actually a few minutes longer than casting the galaxy.

In terms of materials, the grade of Poxu Star Iron is not better than that of Xinghe, both are top-grade. However, Poxu Star Iron is more pure and extreme, and is more difficult to smelt.

Fortunately, Zhao Changhe, Sanniang and Huangfu Qing are all experienced, and they are also adept at improving themselves through sword-making insights.

When Long Que woke up from the chaos, he found that his soul was very solid, almost like a normal human, and even his rosy white skin was so real. A slightly different power spread in his body, and Long Que looked up at the sky, feeling like an eggshell that could be easily broken.

The universe is but an eggshell... the dimension can be shattered at will. Nothing can stop the blade of the dragon bird anymore.

Long Que's eyes fell on the sword-making trio. Huangfu Qing and Sanniang were only providing assistance. For them now, controlling fire was no longer as exhausting or as cold as before. They were just a little tired after a day's work. At this moment, they were sitting aside to rest without any image, looking at the newly born Long Que with a grin on their faces.

It felt like "We also have a daughter" and "Ye Wuming and Xia Chichi are actually behind us". The clever Longque knew what they were thinking at a glance.

Zhao Changhe's state was a bit special... His clothes had been torn to pieces, leaving only a ragged pair of shorts on his body, his muscles knotted and covered with sweat stains. His strong body that had just finished lifting weights was really beautiful, and Sanniang and Huangfu Qing beside him didn't even look at Longque, their beautiful eyes were quickly attracted to him, unable to move away.

Longque finally saw what it meant to have a silky look in the eyes, it turned out to be real... Not to mention them, even she herself couldn't take her eyes off. This was the first time that the female little bird realized the beauty of the human body since she was awakened.

so pretty...

In fact, the process of forging the sword is a great test of Longque's willpower, otherwise he will become a new Queque. However, Longque, who has been reborn from the ashes, does not have too many feelings about this. Instead, he thinks that - he has been more than just physically examined, he has been rubbed from head to toe.

That feeling is so weird.

If Ling Ruoyu was around, she would tell her, and she would have thoughts like "His body is beautiful" and "My body was rubbed". These thoughts are infinitely close to humans, and are almost not something a knife would think...

Although Longque usually looks nothing like a knife, it is only at this moment that he has truly undergone a transformation in his thinking.

Of course, Zhao Changhe was not just standing there to show off, he was also feeling the process of power growth and transformation. The strongest swords and knives in the world were forged by himself, and his understanding and mastery of the source of power had truly reached the top of the world. The third level of the imperial realm had truly reached its end.

Apart from the two BUGs of the Ye family sisters who reached the pseudo other shore, this is the highest achievement that can be achieved in this world. This is the limitation of the realm, and the strength of the world's realm can only be so. If you want to go further, you must go beyond the scope of this world.

This was a natural barrier for others, but it was never for Zhao Changhe. His failure to break through to the next step had nothing to do with the world's status, it was just that his own cultivation was not enough... As long as he was given enough time and resources, he would be able to break through this level sooner or later.

Ye Wuming's move to recruit people from other worlds was to solve this problem from the root. Has her initial expectation been achieved now?

But Ye Wuming was hanging high in the Night Palace, staring at Zhao Changhe's muscles, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a long time... Should he be pleased with the success and completeness of his plan, or should he feel guilty that this guy was getting closer to him?
"What's the feeling?" Ye Jiuyou suddenly appeared in front of him.

Ye Wuming retracted his gaze and glanced at Ye Jiuyou: "How did you get up here?"

"As long as I know where your Night Palace is, the so-called defense and the ethereal void here are nothing to me." Ye Jiuyou said calmly: "I didn't come to bother you the past two days, because Changhe needed to forge the Dragon Bird, and I didn't want to cause trouble."

"Now that the Dragon Bird has been forged, what are you going to do?" Ye Wuming asked calmly: "Bring Zhao Changhe and Piaomiao to conquer me?"

"Why not?"

"The fight between you and me has always been the result of a deliberate arrangement by Heaven. You are not you, and I am not me. The more trouble you and I cause to each other, the happier Heaven laughs. Now that you clearly know this, why do you still want to step into His trap and continue walking?"

Ye Jiuyou said calmly: "His plot was originally an open conspiracy... Don't you know that you and I will never be able to break through the last step in our current state?"

Ye Wuming was silent.

Ye Jiuyou said, "No, you know, you have always known... The reason why I merged with the Heavenly Book was to try to see if this problem could be solved by using the Heavenly Book as my body, right? But in the end, I found that it couldn't work, because the Heavenly Book was originally our body. No matter how we merged, we were still missing each other."

Ye Wuming finally said: "So?"

Ye Jiuyou said: "When you wanted to return to heaven, was one of the reasons you thought that if you disappeared, I would absorb your remaining will and become complete? You used your life to send me good fortune, which is also the best solution that can be achieved naturally without anyone having to worry about it."

Ye Wuming laughed: "You are being sentimental. Is it because you have a man now that you are starting to show off your sensitivity as a woman?"

Ye Jiuyou ignored him and continued, "Even Piao Miao's hatred for you will fade away after you prepare the lotus platform. Ye Wuming, your plan is really amazing... If everything goes according to your plan, maybe you can achieve perfection and solve everything beautifully."

Ye Wuming finally got angry: "So? Zhao Changhe ruined such a perfect plan for that little sperm, which was equivalent to ruining your complete opportunity. Why did you come to me without asking any questions? Do you want me to commit suicide in front of you? Sorry, times have changed. Now you can just dream."

Ye Jiuyou, who had been indifferent all this time, suddenly laughed: "Do you think Zhao Changhe is doing this for the sake of sperm? Do you really think so?"

Ye Wuming had a blank expression on his face: "What else could it be? Could it be that he is grateful to me for tricking him into leaving his hometown and coming here? He has always hated this."

"Why can't it be that he can't bear to give up three years of companionship and can't bear to see you disappear in front of him like that?"

"Of course not possible."

Ye Jiuyou looked at Ye Wuming with some pity, but said nothing.

"What's that expression on your face?" Ye Wuming said angrily, "When is it your turn to pity me?"

"What I pity is that some people can calculate everything but their own heart." Ye Jiuyou yawned: "Forget it, seeing how you are living now, I am very happy."

Ye Wuming sneered: "If you came here on purpose to mock me, then please go back, it's really boring."

"Of course there is something else to say." Ye Jiuyou said: "You said he destroyed my complete opportunity, but I said he understands me at least better than you do."

Ye Wuming said speechlessly: "You don't have to feed me dog food and show off your affection... Oh, you don't understand these words. He and I have more tacit understanding than you."

"Look, look..." Ye Jiuyou laughed: "You actually want to use this kind of thing to irritate me?"

Ye Wuming: "...So what does he understand about you?"

“I will fight for my own chance, instead of you forcing it on me without my opinion, even if it’s your life…” Ye Jiuyou’s smile faded, his expression turned cold again: “Ye Wuming, if I want your life, I will take it myself.”

Ye Wuming said calmly: "Are you done? You can get lost now."

Ye Jiuyou smiled again: "My husband is coming to see me. I have someone to accompany me. You can stay here slowly... Oh, you brought a lot of poems from another world and mixed them into the history of the era, right? One of them is quite suitable for you."

After saying that, he disappeared without saying anything.

Ye Wuming seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say.

Should Chang'e regret stealing the elixir and worrying about the blue sea and blue sky every night?
so boring.

…………

Zhao Changhe picked up the Dragon Bird and waved it around lovingly for a while, feeling the connection between his heart and his beloved sword. He smiled and said, "I feel like even if Tiandao stood in front of me, I could kill him with one blow."

Sanniang smiled and said, "Don't be so arrogant. If the theory you said before is correct, then there are more realms to come. Maybe more than one. You really think you can surpass the Heavenly Dao by relying on a dragon bird..."

Zhao Changhe hugged her with a smile: "I don't just rely on Longque, I have you guys... If you say I rely on Longque, it's because you want my Longque..." "You're killing me! You're talking nonsense in front of the child." Sanniang pushed him away with disgust: "Go wash yourself, you're all sweaty and sticky and smelly."

Zhao Changhe acted like a spoiled child: "I want Sanniang to help me wash."

Sanniang casually clapped her hands, and a huge water ball was formed, trapping Zhao Changhe inside. The water inside the ball was swirling, rolling and scrubbing like a washing machine, and Sanniang carried the ball outside the ball and ran away with it.

Huangfu Qing came to his senses and said, "Stop right there, you idiot. Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to steal my person?"

Sanniang ran very fast and ignored her. The man was too tempting just now, it was a foul, and Guigui was greedy.

The newly forged dragon bird was just thrown on the forging table, alone and ignored, which made Longque doubt his life. Why did you create me?

So having a child is enough, and the child is something more to consider, right?

Ling Ruoyu popped her head out from the side: "Queque, are you okay?"

Long Que burst into tears: "Xinghe is still the best. He knows to come and play with me. Come on, let's fight and see who is stronger now."

Ling Ruoyu didn't want to fight with her, so she said hesitantly, "After thinking it over, your suggestion to imitate my mother's handwriting to write a love letter to my master is feasible."

Speaking of this dragon bird, he was no longer sleepy, and even didn't want to fight. He said excitedly: "Write whatever you want. What's the content? Do you want me to participate in it?"

"I came to you because I needed it." Ling Ruoyu said in distress: "I have no idea how to write this kind of thing. How to express a woman's admiration for a man? Especially for someone like my parents. I can't even copy stories and poems from the human world. I have no reference."

Long Que stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then snapped his fingers: "There is a way. We are not good at this kind of thing. We can go and consult Tang Wanzhuang."

"Prime Minister Tang? If we ask her to write a love letter to her husband on behalf of another woman, will she agree? Will she beat us to death..."

"That only shows that you don't understand Tang Wanzhuang at all. Even if she were asked to tie Ye Wuming to your father's bed personally, she would do it...as long as she has the ability to do so."

"Where is Prime Minister Tang now?"

"It seems to be in Miaojiang."

Sanniang, who had thrown her man into the washing machine to wash him clean and prepare for use, ultimately failed to do so. Zhao Changhe struggled to get out of the way and said with an apologetic smile, "Sanniang, I have something to do..."

"Which slut are you going to accompany again?" Sanniang whimpered: "Isn't it enough that I gave Ye Wuming one day?"

"Ye Wuming is not a slut."

"...Is this the point I made?" Sanniang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "So you still want to find Ye Wuming?"

Zhao Changhe shook his head: "I have to go find Jiuyou. There is no one more convenient than asking her about the next breakthrough. Besides, she is in Miaojiang now. I also want to go to Miaojiang to see how their witchcraft is going. Wanzhuang and the others have been tracing the location of the Heavenly Dao for several days, but there is no news."

Speaking of this, Sanniang seemed to have something to say, but she held it back and said gloomily, "Then let them go. Anyway, we don't think they can accomplish anything. Giving them a few more days will be useless."

"I also think it's not that easy, so I'm a little worried. After all, this is the top priority right now..."

"Go, go." Sanniang chased him away like a fly, and lay listlessly on the side without moving.

The meat in my mouth is gone... that muscle is so tempting...

The back of his neck suddenly felt tight, and Huangfu Qing had grabbed it and lifted him up: "What are you doing?"

Sanniang struggled: "What else can we do at this time?"

Huangfu Qing said: "Of course, we will compete with them to see who can calculate the location of the Heavenly Dao first. Anyway, even if we don't counterattack, we must know where the enemy is. Do we just passively wait here without knowing where the enemy is? There is no such way to use troops."

This is what Sanniang was hesitant to say just now. In fact, they were also secretly competing with Tang Wanzhuang, Sisi and others about this matter, so they didn't want to tell Zhao Changhe openly.

They said they had some witchcraft that could trace back and calculate, but the Four Symbols Sect thought it was unreliable. After all, that was the way of heaven, and it was not something that could be calculated by you. Moreover, the so-called witchcraft was also part of the way of heaven, so what right did you have to use its skills to calculate it?
But the Four Symbols Sect could raise objections, but they didn't know what to do. Many of their magic or rituals were very advanced and sophisticated, communicating with the sky... But thinking about it carefully, it was very embarrassing, because they found that no matter how they communicated, they either communicated with the Night Emperor or the spirit of heaven and earth.

Regardless of whether it was the Night Emperor or the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, both were Ye Wuming. The Four Symbols Sect and she were inseparable, and this cause and effect could not be severed.

The embarrassing thing is that even after communicating with Ye Wuming to cooperate, it seems that he can't calculate where the Heavenly Dao is. If Ye Wuming can do this, he can just tell Zhao Changhe directly. Why does he need everyone to calculate it?
But the Four Symbols Sect's venerables still wanted to give it a try, not wanting Tang Wanzhuang and the others to make the first achievement, and then being laughed at when they were eating, and not being able to eat. Maybe Ye Wuming alone wouldn't work, but Ye Wuming plus the Four Symbols would work?
The Four Symbols Ceremony can be without anyone except Sanniang. Others use tortoise shells for divination, but here we just use Sanniang...

"Call Chi Chi here, and let them work harder. We need to let those little rascals know that our Four Elephants Sect will always be the head house, and they are only fit to serve tea."

Zhao Changhe went back and picked up the dragon bird: "Let's go to Miaojiang. Ruoyu, do you want to go with me or stay in the capital?"

Ling Ruoyu almost jumped up. This was like a pillow being delivered to her when she was sleepy: "I want to go to Miaojiang too! I want to travel thousands of miles!"

"Well, there's no long journey this time. I'll just descend directly there."

"Then I'll go too. Isn't the Master there?"

"That's right, do you miss Master?"

"think."

Zhao Changhe grabbed Ling Ruoyu's hand and said, "Then sit tight..."

With a whoosh, the father and daughter disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already in the Miaojiang sky, and in front of him was Ye Jiuyou, who was smiling: "I knew you would come to see me first."

Zhao Changhe asked curiously, "You are also imitating your sister... Oh, your sister, is she starting to play with calculations?"

"That's not the case. I was just arguing with her, and then I saw you coming to Miaojiang, so I left her behind and came to see you first." Ye Jiuyou smiled and rubbed Ling Ruoyu's little head: "Sure enough, you came to me first... to see if Ye Wuming is angry."

Zhao Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why is she so angry... Could she be jealous?"

“That may not be the case…” Ye Jiuyou smiled and said, “Changhe…that arrow you shot through a lot of things back then.”

Zhao Changhe: "?"

Ye Wuming looked at them expressionlessly, thinking to himself that if he was going to be angry, the thing that would make him most angry would be Ling Ruoyu being so affectionate with Ye Jiuyou. Who cares about that big pig's hoof?

My daughter is so close to all her stepmothers, except me...

Just as I was thinking about the blue sky and the blue sea that loomed in my mind every night, my heart suddenly moved.

She actually sensed the call from the Four Symbols Sect.

God have mercy on you. The teachings of the Four Symbols Religion summoned the Night Emperor to come. This was the first time in this era that it was truly implemented. The one who received the message was not Zhao Changhe, the Night Emperor in people's eyes today, but the former Night Emperor Ye Wuming.

Ye Wuming hesitated for a moment... Should he go to the lower world?
This is a good excuse. I didn't go down by myself. The Four Symbols summoned me to come down...
