In the imperial garden of Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng looked longingly at the peacock in front of him, constantly condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to baptize this beautiful peacock. Although the peacock finally reached the first level of the divine body through his unremitting efforts, this was not
The result he wants.
"Little peacock, are you opening your tail?" Ying Zheng had repeated these words countless times, but the peacock still raised its head proudly and ignored him at all.
Only when the beast is enlightened and possesses spiritual wisdom can it be passed down by blood and cultivate independently. Otherwise, there is no spiritual wisdom. Even if Ying Zheng instills the peacock into the realm of immortality, its descendants will not have spiritual wisdom, and the same is true.
A beast without any value.
And for beasts without intelligence, the fourth level of the divine body is the limit just by instilling spiritual energy. The fifth level of the divine body no longer only requires spiritual energy to advance, but also requires the sublimation of the state of mind and soul.
Ying Zheng frowned and looked at the peacock in front of him who paid no attention to him. He was already sure that filling it with spiritual energy to improve its realm and open up its spiritual intelligence would not work.
After thinking about it carefully, Ying Zheng's spiritual thoughts rushed into the peacock's mind, wanting to see if he could communicate with it spiritually. But as soon as he entered the peacock's mind and came into contact with its sea of consciousness,
Feeling that the peacock's sea of consciousness is blank, as quiet as nothingness and chaos. There is no emotional fluctuation at all, and even the consciousness of a newborn human baby is not so blank.
Ying Zheng didn't think much about it. He was not good at this in the first place, so he could only try all means one by one to find the answer. He tried to use his own emotional fluctuations to stimulate the peacock's blank sea of consciousness.
But as soon as his emotion entered the peacock consciousness, the proud peacock immediately let out a miserable cry, his eyes immediately became distracted, and he fell to the ground twitching.
A trace of unbearability flashed through Ying Zheng's heart, but after just a moment, the beautiful peacock died and returned to the underworld completely. His eyes showed a depressed look, and then he murmured to himself, "Failed? Or a bird?
no?"
In fact, he knew that the phoenix was the king of birds. It was not the birds that were bad, but he had not found the trick. He just gave himself encouragement and a reason to continue trying. Everything a person does must know it beforehand.
Find a reason for yourself, even if you know it is an impossible thing, you will be self-paralyzed and encouraged in your heart. This is one of the reasons why intelligent life is unique.
After several months of trial and error, Ying Zheng tried countless species, whether they were flying in the sky, running on the ground, or swimming in the water, he found many species and tried them over and over again.
But the result was cruel. Ying Zheng's eyes were full of blood, and his pale face revealed his body's lack of spiritual energy. Looking at the fox corpse lying on the ground, his expression was a little depressed.
The fox is the most cunning and intelligent of all known species on earth. After countless attempts, he gradually figured out some tricks. He originally had high hopes, but it still failed.
Although he was unwilling to do so, Ying Zheng also gave up the idea. It seemed that he still couldn't become an animal trainer. Ying Zheng thought about it very self-deprecatingly.
Ying Zheng calmed down the distracting thoughts in his heart and recovered some spiritual energy. Then he just wanted to leave the Royal Garden and planned to return to Chaotian Palace to continue practicing in seclusion to see if he could sprint to the ninth level of the divine body.
"Father, you are here too!" A sweet girl's voice sounded...
Ying Zhengxun walked over and saw a little girl about fifteen or sixteen years old walking towards him, with a sweet smile on her face and respect.
Ying Zheng looked at her and carefully searched the memories of the First Emperor, trying to find an appearance that matched her. However, what made him embarrassed was that there was no appearance in his memory that matched this fresh and refined girl.
"You..." Ying Zheng didn't know what to say for a moment and said dumbly.
"Xue'er, I wish my father a long life and good health." The girl who called herself Xue'er bowed to Ying Zheng with great respect, then pouted and said, "My father has been busy with state affairs for the past ten years, and even if I think about it, I can't remember Xue'er!
"Her voice was a little sad and lonely, as if full of infinite longing.
"Xue'er?" Ying Zheng was stunned at first, and then he finally found the memory of a daughter named Ying Xue among the dozens of children of the First Emperor. Then he smiled and said, "My father is sorry for you, and you have been neglected for the past ten years.
You." He sighed from the bottom of his heart. He inherited everything from the First Emperor, but he failed to fulfill any of the First Emperor's responsibilities.
In the memory of the First Emperor, this Yingxue was only five years old ten years ago, so Yingzheng could not find any clues. The girl was eighteen years old, let alone ten years ago. Yingxue's mother was a private citizen who was elected to the palace.
Noble man, he passed away after giving birth to Yingxue.
The First Emperor never established a concubine or concubine in his life. His women were almost all nobles, and he had hundreds of children. However, many died in childhood, and there are still dozens of children in the palace now.
This Yingxue was also the youngest daughter of the First Emperor. She had been brought up by a wet nurse since she was a child. The First Emperor cared about the early death of his mother and often visited this youngest daughter when he was still alive.
"My father has devoted himself to serving the country and the people. He is an eternal sage and should take state affairs as his top priority." Yingxue said very solemnly, without hesitation in praising and reverencing him.
Even though Ying Zheng had already mastered the art of shamelessness, he couldn't help but blush when he was praised by the innocent little girl in front of him. But it only took him an instant to return to his normal demeanor, looking at the girl in front of him like an elf.
As a little girl, Ying Zheng was filled with emotions.
Although his soul has nothing to do with the little girl in front of him, the blood flowing in his body is the same as that of the little girl. The echo of blood makes him feel an indescribable feeling.
.
This was something he hadn't felt in Fusu or Hu Hai. Maybe it was the age gap, or maybe it was for other reasons. Ying Zheng couldn't explain clearly. Fusu and Hu Hai were both about the same age as him, but this
The little girl called him father, and he didn't feel any inconvenience or weirdness at all.
But there is a sense of belonging that comes from the heart, maybe this is fate, or maybe it is the mystery of blood.
"Xue'er has a second level of spiritual body? Yes, yes." Ying Zheng did not continue to dwell on those boring issues. After all, he practiced as he pleased and acted as he pleased. His depression just now had been dissipated.
"Yes, Father, Xue'er will definitely continue to work hard and strive to do something for Father as soon as possible." Ying Xue's clear eyes showed a hint of determination, and she said seriously to Ying Zheng.
"Okay, my father is waiting for Xue'er to take care of my father's worries as soon as possible." Ying Zheng smiled, but did not take her words seriously and touched her little head.
"Well, Xue'er will definitely abide by her father's teachings." Yingxue said very restrainedly. She could count the number of times she saw her father on one hand since she was a child, and those few times were still preserved in her childhood.
in memory.
"Well, Xue'er is just having fun in the imperial garden! If my father has something to do, he will leave first. If he has time, he will go to Chaotian Palace to see his father." Ying Zheng said with a smile. He still had things to deal with, and he has been doing this for several months.
Busy with experiments, except for some urgent state affairs, he left all minor matters to Li Changqing.
"Xue'er is practicing very hard, she just brought the little monkey here to play." Yingxue seemed to not want to leave a bad impression on her father and make him think she was playful, so she hurriedly explained.
"Oh? Little monkey?" Ying Zheng was just about to leave. Hearing this, he was a little puzzled. Then he noticed a little monkey beside Ying Xue who was full of energy. The hair all over his body was shining with golden light under the sunlight.
"Yes! The little monkey has been accompanying Xue'er since she was a child. Without it, Xue'er would be very lonely and bored." Yingxue's young face showed a hint of joy, and her eyes showed a kind look as she looked at the person standing beside her honestly.
Little monkey.
Ying Zheng looked at the little monkey and felt a little strange. This monkey had been accompanying Xueer since he was a child? Why didn't he feel any signs of aging in his body? This made Ying Zheng very puzzled. In ten years, other people have
Speaking of monkeys, even for mortals it is a long time.
"Chiji..." The little monkey understood Xue'er's words at all, jumped into Yingxue's arms, and licked her flower-like face with his tongue very humanely.
Ying Zheng's pupils shrank and he stared straight at this unique little monkey. At this moment, his heart felt like a storm. This monkey seemed to be able to hear people's words, was it psychic?
You must know that although generally spiritual animals can understand human consciousness, well-trained animals can even follow human actions and execute some fixed commands. However, this is different from channeling, expressing human speech, and completely understanding human speech.
Very different.
Ying Zheng suppressed the heat in his heart, walked up to Xue'er, stared at the little monkey with sharp eyes, and suddenly said: "I heard that monkey brains are delicious, I think this monkey is good."
"Squeak..." The little monkey in Ying Xue's arms suddenly stood on end, opened its teeth and claws, and roared at Ying Zheng.
"Father, no! The little monkey is Xue'er's good friend and partner. Please don't hurt it." When Yingxue heard this, she immediately felt dizzy, and immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
Looking at the little monkey who was angry at him, baring his teeth and claws, the fire in Ying Zheng's heart became even stronger. He ignored Ying Xue's plea and continued, "Can't you see, you still know how to get angry? I will eat it tonight.
you."
"Zhizhi...jijiji..." The little monkey jumped out of Yingxue's arms, jumped up and down, and rushed towards Ying Zheng in a frenzy.
Ying Zheng disapprovingly grabbed its neck in mid-air with one hand, his eyes emitted a bright golden light, staring at it as if he had infinite magic power, wanting to see through its soul and destroy its origin.
"Father, please, don't hurt the little monkey. Xueer, please, wuwu..." Yingxue was immediately shocked when she saw her father grabbing the little monkey's neck with one hand.
Struggling wildly in his hands, he was immediately frightened and cried and begged for mercy.
