Chapter 37 Seven Refinements of the Big Dipper

 Other floating heads lowered their tongues from the air and made live buckles one by one, trying to trap Chen Shi.

 In the dark of night, this kind of live buckle is difficult to see. If you are not careful, your head will automatically be sent in, and then the floating head will pick it up and hang it in the air.

 Chen Shi took advantage of the power of the armor and horse talisman to gallop along the post road and whizzed away, leaving these floating heads far away.

  The Jiama Talisman allowed the breeze to grow on the soles of his feet, making his steps light and fast. As he walked, his sleeves were fluttering. Under the shining of the moonlight, he looked really free and elegant.

 At this time, Chen Shi's face became more and more ugly, and his heart beat faster and faster, as if something was pressing on his heart.

  "Don't get sick now, don't get sick now!"

He gradually became anxious. Walking in the dark night itself was risking his life. If he got sick again at this time, he would definitely die!

 Severe pain began to feel in my heart.

  Chen Shi knew that if he was too tired, he would fall ill. For example, when he committed the case at the Li family camp, he returned home and fell ill that night.

 For another example, when he met Tiebi Weng by chance and committed the crime of beating Tiebi Weng and the steward Zhao Ming to death, probably because he killed few people, he did not fall ill that night, but he fell ill the next night and killed him!

 Now, he committed another murder in Huangyang Village, with twenty-one lives on his hands. This time, the attack came faster and more violently!

 When I got sick in the past, I would often suffer from severe heart pain while sleeping, making me unable to breathe.

But now he was sick while he was awake. He could feel his heart being gradually squeezed by a craggy hand. The tighter the squeeze, the faster it beat!

 His vision gradually blurred, and the post road under the moonlight seemed to be floating in the clouds, swinging from side to side, twisting, and rotating, causing him to swing, twist, and rotate with his body.

 His mouth smelled of blood, his nostrils were warm, and suddenly two nosebleeds flowed out.

 There was blood oozing out of his eyes, and his ears were buzzing, as if warm liquid was flowing out of them.

  "Don't die here, I don't want to die here! I want to go home to see my grandpa, and even if I die, I will die at home!"

  Chen Shi gasped for air, widened his eyes, and tried hard to see the road in front of him clearly, but the road became increasingly erratic.

"When the emperor was born, only gods were respected. Evils and chaos abounded, and there was no true god, only ghosts and people! The way to observe the sky, the way to follow the sky..."

 He activated the three-light righteousness, trying to suppress the ghost hands that were clenching his heart. The Big Dipper appeared around him, and various stars changed as he moved.

  Chen Shi staggered forward, and something strange in the surrounding mountains and forests noticed his strange behavior and chased after him.

 The ones chasing at the front are Floating Skulls. There are many of these evil spirits. They like to hang people to death, drag their bodies to fly in the air, and dance in the air.

  Sometimes you can see a dozen floating heads floating in the air, with long tongues underneath, which are wrapped around the neck of the deceased. A dozen corpses are bouncing around in the air, dancing, which is very weird.

Floating heads were flying in the air, but there were dozens of dolls crawling quickly on the ground, chasing Chen Shi, making babbling noises as they crawled.

  They are very happy, crawling very fast, and even climb to the trees by the roadside, only to be trapped in the trees.

 At this time, the long necks behind them will appear, dancing like snakes, to save them.

 There were also some little people riding little yellow horses, only five or six inches tall, and the little yellow horses were not much bigger than them. They were galloping, shouting, and bent their bows and arrows to shoot at Chen Shi.

 Fortunately, the effect of the armor and horse talisman on Chen Shi's legs is still there, and these little people can't catch up.

 However, Chen Shi's condition was extremely poor, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught up by them.

Chen Shi staggered, the sky and the earth were spinning, even the Beidou tempering could not suppress the blue ghost hand.

 "Am I really going to die here?"

 The road in front of him was twisted, and pairs of red shoes suddenly appeared on the road ahead, covering the post road with nowhere to stay. As long as he stepped down, he would step on these red shoes.

 These red shoes have peach blossoms embroidered with pink thread on both sides and peonies embroidered on the toes, which are very bright.

  Sui, also appeared.

  The evil spirit began to intrude on his spirit, making his originally confused five senses even more confused.

 Chen Shi's heart ached more and more, and he was swaying. He could no longer avoid the red shoes in front of him. Suddenly, all the red shoes disappeared, and the road returned to normal.

The sound of horse hooves was heard on the post road, and a chariot pulled by four horses was seen driving along the post road. A lantern was hung in front of the car. Wherever the light shone, all evil spirits avoided it.

     

   The driver reined in the horse, and the chariot stopped in front of Chen Shi.

 There was an aristocratic young man sitting in the car. Although he was traveling in the countryside at night and was surrounded by dangers, he behaved calmly, as if nothing in the world could make him lose his composure.

  He is Xiao Wangsun who had a relationship with Chen Shi.

 That day, Chen Shi and his grandfather met Xiao Wangsun outside the villa where Zhiyin corpse was raised. Xiao Wangsun's coffin was gorgeous, and his conversation and behavior were all refreshing, which left a deep impression on Chen Shi.

  "Long time no see, Chen Shi."

Sitting in the car, Wangsun Xiao had a face as gentle as jade. Seeing Chen Shi staggering towards him, the starlight around him flashed. Wangsun Xiao’s eyes flashed and he said, "The technique you practice is not perfect, it is a incomplete method. Beidou tempering, you have not obtained the essence, no wonder you are in such an embarrassing situation. "

  Chen Shi heard his voice and tried hard to stand up and salute him, but he couldn't stand still.

  He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but it was so painful that he couldn't breathe.

                                                                                                                                       Xiao Wangsun’s demeanor, his manners are completely natural, just like a banished immortal descending to earth, he behaves appropriately.

  There is nothing wrong with his appearance, and his figure is so elegant that not even a man can find anything wrong with him.

 His voice was very deep, buzzing in his chest before it came out of his mouth.

“You converge the starlight, turn it into the shape of the Big Dipper, and let the Big Dipper revolve around you. However, just relying on the seven stars to shine, you can only temper your hair, skin and blood, but not your internal organs and bone marrow. These seven stars are not Just refining the body, hair and skin also refining the spirit and energy. You have not realized what tempering is, and that is why you are suffering from this torture." Xiao Wangsun's voice came into Chen Shi's mind. , but his mind was clearer than ever before, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Senior, please give me some advice!"

 Xiao Wangsun pointed out: "The purple star in front of your feet, called Tianshu, is where the head of the spoon is. Take a closer look. There are talisman structures inside the stars. "

 Chen Shi tried his best to concentrate, not to be disturbed by the severe pain, and looked towards the mass of Tianshu starlight. After careful observation, he saw the internal structure of Tianshu star.

 The internal structure of the starlight is very strange. The top is like a "big" character, wrapping the star cluster. Below is a Yang character in the form of the character "一", and further down is the character "正" in seal script.

  Below the word "governance" and the star map, as well as the dragon pattern.

  There are two characters "嬵" under the dragon pattern.

  "The other six stars also have their own talisman structures." Xiao Wangsun said.

  Chen Shi stabilized his chaotic mind and looked at the other six stars. He saw that these star clusters also had complex talisman structures inside them!

  This is something he has never discovered before!

  "The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper are divided into Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang. Each cluster of starlight is composed of different symbols."

Sitting in the car, Xiao Wangsun said in a calm voice, "Different talismans also contain different tempering methods. You step on the Tianshu and refine the talisman."

 Chen Shi endured the severe pain, his body trembled and took a step forward. His footsteps landed on the Tianshu star cluster, and he concentrated his remaining thoughts to refine the Tianshu star talisman.

 Suddenly, the star cluster shined brightly, and the starlight exploded. In an instant, all the starlight poured into his body, starting from his tail, going up along the spine, along the tibia, flowing to the back of the head, then up to the skull, down the facial bones, and passed through the twenty-eight teeth.

  Flows down along the bones of the throat and passes through the twenty-four ribs.

 In an instant, the starlight circulated along his bones for a whole day, making his bones seem to have been tempered, and his bone marrow seemed to have been infused with jade liquid. He couldn't help but shiver, and the severe pain in his heart just now felt lessened.

At the same time, the starlight energy of the Tianshu Star under his feet was exhausted, and the star talisman began to change, transforming into a Yaoguang star talisman.

 The Tianxuan Star Talisman on his right also changed at this time, transforming into the Tianshu Star Talisman.

 Other star talismans are also rotating and changing, like a formation. When the whole body is moved, one talisman changes, and the other talismans also change.

  "Front to the right, step on the Tianshu again." Xiao Wangsun pointed.

  Chen Shi took advantage of the situation and stepped out, his footsteps landing on the transforming Tianxuan Star Talisman.

 The moment he stepped forward, the Tianxuan Star Talisman also changed into the Tianshu Star Talisman, and the starlight burst out again, flowing through the bones in an instant, and the feeling of body-tempering comfort became even stronger!

The impact of star power caused the cyan ghost hand holding his heart to relax a little due to the heartbeat, and the pain became less intense again!

 Chen Shi saw the hope of survival, and without waiting for Xiao Wangsun's reminder, he turned around and took the third step. At this moment, the Tianji Star Talisman had transformed into Tianxuan, and from Tianxuan to Tianshu.

 By the time his footsteps fell, the third Tianshu Star Talisman had been formed!

 His figure just walked around the chariot, like a swimming dragon, leaving an afterimage.

  Chen Shi took the fourth step, even faster, as if he were a ghost.

  He took the fifth step and actually walked up to a big tree beside the road. It was as if he was walking on flat ground, with no tendency of falling down!

Chen Shi stepped out step by step, walking faster and faster. The more he walked, the more excited he became, and the pain in his heart became less and less.

 With his feet on the Beidou, he accidentally learned an amazing footwork!

 And Tianshu's bone refining made his bones stronger and stronger, his marrow fluid purer and purer, his qi and blood churning, and he felt indescribably comfortable.

  "Now, it's Tianxuan!" Xiao Wangsun's voice came.

  Chen Shi stepped on the Tianxuan star without thinking, and the Tianxuan talisman burst out immediately, and the starlight swarmed into his body and penetrated into his heart.

 With a thumping heartbeat, the next moment the heart sends blood containing star power to the limbs and brain, through large and small thick and thin blood vessels, directly to the end of the limbs!

  The green ghost hand was also shaken by the heartbeat and continued to relax, making it difficult to hold his heart!

As Chen Shi follows the Tianxuan Star, the formation of the Big Dipper beneath his feet is also constantly changing. The power of the stars cleanses the blood and strengthens the heart chambers.

 his qi and blood are getting stronger and stronger, and his breath is getting longer and longer.

 Tianshu refines bones, Tianxuan refines blood!

 Xiao Wangsun waited for him to temper it again, and reminded him at the right time: "Change to Tianji again!"

 Chen Shi changed his steps and landed on the Tianji star. The power of the star talisman exploded and was compatible with the fascia.

 His big muscles move like a bow string, like drawing a bow to shoot an arrow, making his fists faster, and his fascia beating like a big drum, making him stronger.

 After Chen Shi walked around for a week and tempered all his muscles, he immediately landed on the Tianquan star cluster.

 When Xiao Wangsun saw this, he did not give any advice.

Chen Shi's each tempering operation only lasted for one day, and he quickly went through all the seven stars of the Big Dipper.

 The Tianquan Star Talisman strengthens the muscles, and the Yuheng Star Talisman strengthens the skin.

 Only what the Kaiyang Star Talisman and the Yaoguang Star Talisman were forged, Chen Shi didn't know clearly. When he stepped on the Yang Star Talisman, his own true energy flowed, and the shrine reappeared. He thought it was for refining the true energy, but he couldn't be sure.

 While stepping on the Yaoguang Star Talisman, people feel inexplicably refreshed and their thinking becomes clearer than ever before.

  More importantly, his heart pain is getting lower and lower!

  "The Kaiyang Star Talisman refines the true energy, and the Yaoguang Star Talisman refines the spirit."

Xiao Wangsun continued to give instructions and said, "The Seven Refiners of the Big Dipper will temper your bones, heart, blood, muscles, skin, Qi, and spirit. The technique you practice is very amazing."

  Chen Shi stopped. The energy and blood in his body were surging endlessly, and it stopped for a long time. As for the severe pain in his heart, it had disappeared. He couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

  This advice from Xiao Wangsun was crucial to him. It not only saved his life in times of crisis, but also saved him from the dangers in the process of groping and groping!

   He still remembered the time when he was in a ruined temple in a barren mountain, groping to transport the blood, which caused the blood to rush to his brain and he passed out.

"Don't be distracted. Now draw the fire back to the Yuan, refine it into the Dantian, and turn it into your own cultivation."

 Hiao Wangsun observed his aura and said, "After practicing the skill, if you don't draw the fire back to the Yuan, it is equivalent to practicing in vain. Adjust your spirit. , intending to guard the Dantian. "

  Chen Shi followed the instructions and activated the qi and blood all over his body to refine it into the Dantian. However, as soon as this qi and blood turned into true energy in the Dantian, it dissipated without any trace left, which made him feel sad.

 Xiao Wangsun also noticed the dissipation of the true energy in his body, thought for a moment, and said: "Beidou Seven Refiners, temper your bones, heart, blood, flesh, skin, energy, and spirit. You just can't retain the true energy. , but the other six are making rapid progress, and they may not be able to achieve success in the future. Strange, didn’t Master Chen teach you these things? ”
