Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 233 "Star Array" and Emperor Ziwei
Gu Xu opened the first page of the booklet, and saw a line written on it:

"The candle will turn to ashes. But before it dies, it will light the dark night without light."

"ash……"

"Death..."

He said these two words silently in his heart.

Faintly, he felt that he seemed to have grasped the key to the problem.

In the past, he once thought that the second form of "Bright Candle" in "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" was an enhanced version of the first form "Firefly Flame", which represented that the fire was gradually getting bigger and stronger.

From the initial spark, the whole world is gradually ignited.

But after opening the notebook, he found that the meaning of this "bright candle" was more complicated than he had imagined.

However, considering that the chief executive was still sitting in front of him, Gu Xu restrained himself and did not immediately enter the state of epiphany.

Instead, he temporarily put this notebook on the table, and looked at the second booklet that Luo Sishou handed over.

On its cover, there are two elegant characters written——

"Star array."

Gu Xu stared at these two words and was silent for a long time.

He read through the classics, and naturally he had seen this name in the books.

He knew that "Star Array" was a high-grade spell created by Luo Chuan after he was promoted to the realm of a saint, and it was more famous than "Sword of Clouds and Stars" and "Meteor Walking the Moon".

Many years ago, Luo Chuan used this spell to kill the "fierce god-level" ghost - "Ye Ming" in the South China Sea by himself.

…………

In the early years of Tianxing, there was a merchant sailing in the South China Sea by boat.In the middle of the night, the cabin suddenly became bright, as if it had dawned.

The merchant got up and saw a huge monster in the sea.Half of its body is out of the water, like a mountain; its eyes are shining brightly, like two rounds of rising suns, illuminating the whole sea brightly.

Seeing this monster whose size was comparable to an island, the merchants were frightened out of their wits.

He was afraid that the monster would suddenly open its mouth wide and swallow his entire ship.

However, at this moment, a figure like a fairy suddenly appeared in the sky above the South China Sea stepping on the clouds.

Because the man was far away, and his body was surrounded by silver-white light, the merchant couldn't see his appearance clearly.

But the merchant could feel that this person had a terrifying aura—although his size was like an ant standing in front of an elephant compared to the "Ye Ming" ghost, but "Ye Ming" seemed to be because of him. Feeling the fear from the bottom of his heart, his huge body began to tremble and let out a terrified low cry.

The next moment, the man chanted a mantra lightly, waved his sleeves, and several stars descended from the sky, revolving rapidly around him in a specific trajectory; then, like meteorites, they suddenly moved towards the position of "Ye Ming" Smash it.

Immediately, flames rose from the sea.

The merchant stood on the boat and was stunned for a moment watching the spectacular scene.

When he came back to his senses, that fairy-like figure had already gone through the clouds and mist, and disappeared from his field of vision without leaving a trace.

And that "Ye Ming" monster was reduced to ashes, leaving no bones left.

When the merchant returned to the shore after the sea voyage, he heard from others that the powerful monk who made "Ye Ming" disappear while talking and laughing was none other than Luo Chuan, the head of the exorcist department of the Da Qi Dynasty.

——The above content is excerpted from "Da Qi Shen Yi Ji Ye Ming", the author is unknown.

…………

"Star array" means the arrangement of stars in the sky, and is sometimes used by literati to refer to Go.

According to the description in the pamphlet, after chanting a specific incantation, a monk who mastered this spell could summon stars of varying numbers, arrange them in an array, and revolve around him in a specific trajectory.

Of course, the "summoning" here is not to really pick off the stars in the sky, but to condense the stars in the sky with the power of one's own true energy.

These stars have both offensive and defensive functions.

It can not only cause damage to the enemy, but also block attacks from the outside world.

Moreover, the stars summoned by monks are different, and their effects are also different.

For example, if the monk summons stars like "Seven Kills" and "Broken Army", then the "Star Array" formed by them will have a strong sense of killing, and can use the momentum of ten swings and ten decisive moves to kill The enemy is torn to pieces in an instant;

If the stars summoned by the monks are stars with auxiliary support functions such as "Tianliang" and "Tianji", then the "star array" they build will be much weaker in terms of attack, but it will have enhanced defense. , Help yourself and your companions to quickly restore the function of true energy;

If the monks summoned stars such as "sun" and "lunar", then the "star array" they constructed might have the attributes of "burning" or "freezing";
……

In addition, the positions of the stars in the "star array" are different, the way of operation is different, and the effects are also different.

for example:

If "Pojun" and "Wenqu" appear at the same time and run in opposite directions, the attributes of the two stars will be suppressed at the same time. "Pojun" has a sense of fortitude like a broken bamboo, while "Wenqu" is relatively tortuous and gentle, and if you meet them head-on, you will restrain each other;

However, if you put them in the right position and let them turn from west to east together, there is a saying that "Wen Chao lives in Yinmao, and all the water faces east", because "Pojun" is the attribute of water, and "Wenqu" is also the attribute of water. Attributes, the two go hand in hand, like rivers pouring into the sea, the effects can superimpose and promote each other.

……

All in all, "Star Array" is a very comprehensive and unpredictable spell.Because of the large number of stars in the sky, from the perspective of arrangement and combination, it has almost endless possibilities, which also means that it is extremely difficult to get started.

According to the notes written by Luo Sishou in the pamphlet, except for the emperor star at the celestial pole—Ziwei star, other stars have a probability of appearing in the "star array".

The higher the cultivation base, the deeper the understanding of this spell, and the more stars that can be summoned.

Normally, the stars summoned by monks are random each time.To summon a powerful star depends largely on luck.

However, Luo Chuan also said that a monk's own fate will also affect the probability of different stars appearing.

For example, it is easier for monks with the "Wenchang Star" to enter the Palace of Fate to summon the "Wenqu Star" with similar attributes, but it is difficult to summon the "Seven Killing Stars" that symbolize bravery and master killing; People in the palace of destiny are more likely to summon peach blossom stars such as "Tianyao", "Hongluan" and "Xianchi"; It will fail to cast spells, and not even a single star can be summoned.

…………

After flipping through the basic introduction on the first few pages of the booklet, Gu Xu took a deep breath, expressed his gratitude to Luo Chuan again, and praised Luo Chuan for creating such an exquisite spell.

In his opinion, the degree of mystery of this "Star Array" is definitely at the forefront even among high-grade spells.

After all, most high-grade spells have relatively single attributes, either purely for killing or purely for defense.

It is almost impossible to have comprehensive attributes and endless changes like "Star Array".

Not to mention a third-level monk like Gu Xu.

Even ordinary saint-level powerhouses will be deeply impressed by its all-encompassing power when they see it.

Now, since Gu Xu entered the third realm, he really needs to master some new fighting methods as soon as possible.

The spells he had mastered before either relied on talisman seals or the "Jinghong Pen", or the level was too low to meet his needs, or it was like the "Time" authority, which would quickly consume his true energy once activated.

A comprehensive and multi-functional spell like "Star Array" is simply a timely rain for him.

Learning it is at least equivalent to learning a dozen other spells.

"You're welcome, Gu Xiaoyou," Luo Chuan responded with a slight smile, "Actually, I didn't create this spell myself, but the great 'Zhongtian Beibei Ziwei Great Emperor' poured it into me through a dream. in the head.

"To this day, I still have only grasped some of its fur, and can only summon three stars at most, unable to exert its full power.

"I think it should suit you very well.

"Perhaps in the future, I will see a complete starry sky beside you."

Luo Chuan has always liked to mention the name "Ziwei Emperor Zhongtian North Pole" very much.

As long as others compliment his spells, he will humbly shake his head again and again, expressing with a respectful attitude that these are gifts from "Emperor Ziwei" to him.

Luo Chuan said that the reason why he was able to become a saint was because "Emperor Ziwei" showed him the way forward in the dark; It was lent to him; and he was able to create top-grade martial arts such as "Sword of Clouds and Stars" and "Meteor and Moon", and it was also Emperor Ziwei who inspired him.

In this regard, people often lament that the chief minister is really too humble; indeed, the farther you go on the road of practice, the more you will be in awe of the great way of heaven, earth and God.
