Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

Qin Qi could use the Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Technique to extend Fang Dongtian's life right now, but he felt it was risky and unsafe.

Firstly, although he developed the theory, he hadn't actually tested it on anyone else; there's a difference between theory and reality.

Just like the martial arts technique he had studied before, he first broke his leg, then burned his hand, and finally got struck by lightning.

It could be considered an accident, but it could also be seen as a normal reaction. Without the final lightning tempering, his Golden Core cultivation method would not have succeeded.

Although this technique has been superseded by the Three Talents and Three Flowers Gathering at the Top technique, he still remembers that incident vividly.

Furthermore, the Seven Star Lamp for prolonging life is already going against the will of Heaven. Didn't Zhuge Liang die on the spot because of an accident that caused the Seven Star Lamp to go out?

For safety's sake, Qin Qi decided to check Zhuge Village to see if there were any records left by Zhuge Liang about the Seven Star Lamp for prolonging life.

Whether it's a success, a failure, or just speculation, having some prior experience is always better than spreading rumors.

"Let's set off for Zhuge Village while the old man is still alive!"

Qin Qi has set off!

…………………………………………………………………………

Qin Qi arrived at Zhuge Village that day, but was stopped by an old woman just as he was about to enter.

"Young man, my eyesight isn't good and neither are yours, so take a look at what's written on the sign."

The older woman reached out and patted the sign next to her, speaking with a displeased expression.

"Enter to buy tickets: 100 for adults, 150 for children."

"Huh? Shouldn't children be cheaper than adults? Why are children so expensive here?"

“The houses in our village are very old, and children are clumsy and easily break things, so we collect more.”

"Oh, well, I'm one of my own people, I'm genuine, I'm here to take care of serious business."

Qin Qi came here on official business; he wasn't here for sightseeing. He was here to ask the Zhuge family for some ancient texts.

"It doesn't matter if you're from Quanzhen or Longhu. Yesterday, there was a little girl who claimed to be from our Zhuge Village."

"But no matter who you are, you have to buy a ticket to enter. That's a rule set by the tourism bureau."

The older woman was unyielding; she insisted that Qin Qi buy a ticket before she could enter.

"Do you need to buy tickets to enter your own home?"

Qin Qi was a little curious. It was too outrageous that members of the Zhuge family had to buy tickets to enter. It was as if he had to buy a ticket to go back to his own home.

"We have to buy it. It's mandated by the tourism bureau. Obeying the national arrangements is what we should do."

"So young man, please cooperate and buy a ticket honestly."

The older woman spoke up.

"Okay, here you go."

Qin Qi paid for the ticket. After all, it concerned Fang Dongtian's life, and one hundred yuan wasn't too expensive; it was acceptable.

"Hey, this 'All-in-One Company' is just for fun. If you really want to manage it, you should look to the Tourism Bureau."

As Qin Qi entered, he couldn't help but mutter, "They're all useless here. Look at the Tourism Bureau."

The Quanzhen Baiyun Temple, the Zhengyi Longhu Mountain, and the Zhuge Village residents let anyone in or out of the village.

The tourism bureau still has too much power!

Upon entering the village, you'll find the entire village arranged according to the (abff) Qimen Bagua (a Chinese divination system), and you could easily get lost if you weren't careful.

But none of this mattered to Qin Qi. He could easily figure out where the main seat was without even asking anyone.

Just go directly to the main seat and find the person there. They'll probably be someone like the village chief. Just ask them for the books.

"Little White, don't run away, stop right there."

"No, no, come and chase me!"

As Qin Qi was walking, two children suddenly ran towards him, one of whom bumped right into his arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, hey, you're that, that ghost!"

Zhuge Xiaobai hurriedly began to apologize, but when he looked up, he was immediately frightened. He remembered when he met Qin Qi at Longhu Mountain.

At that time, Qin Qi was studying the Five Elements Escape Technique when he suddenly emerged from the ground, startling Zhuge Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, how can you be so rude? You look like a tourist. Are you lost? Let me take you out."

Behind Zhuge Xiaobai was a little girl, who should also be from the Zhuge family. The two of them had just been fighting over a lollipop.

"No, no, this, this ghost... no, this big brother is scary! My brother was so scared when he saw him that he cried."

Zhuge Xiaobai is spreading gossip again. I have to say, Xiaoxiao Nian Nian has a lot of potential for gossip.

“I’m not lost, and I’m not a ghost. I’m here to find your village chief? Clan chief? Well, whoever’s in charge here.”

Qin Qi didn't know how the leader of Zhuge Village should address himself, but it didn't matter, as long as he could get things done.

"Yeah, you're looking for your dad."

Zhuge Xiaobai scratched his face. The current head of Zhuge Village was his and Zhuge Qing's father, Zhuge Gong.

"Hey, village chief, you're my dad? That's perfect, kid, come with me."

Qin Qi smiled and reached out to grab Zhuge Xiaobai, then pulled up the little girl next to him, and together they walked towards the center.

"Big brother, my name is Zhuge Lü, you can just call me Xiao Lü. What's your name?"

"Qin Qi."

"Big brother, you shouldn't go this way. This is a wall. You should go in the other direction."

"This is the closest location."

"Big brother, you're amazing! How did you manage to get us here so quickly?"

Zhuge Lü was very curious. She was a very lively child. Compared to the timid Zhuge Xiaobai, Zhuge Lü was much braver.

"Little Green, I... I feel a little scared."

Zhuge Xiaobai looked at Xiao Lü. He still had a lingering fear of Qin Qi, who had terrified the child so much back then.

"Little White, you're too timid. Big Brother looks like a good person. What's there to be afraid of? He's not going to eat us, is he?"

Xiao Lü looked at Xiao Bai. Xiao Bai was several months older than her and was a boy, but why was he so timid?

Even she, a girl, is not as good as him.

"You might say yes, maybe."

After being scolded by Xiao Lü, Zhuge Xiaobai immediately lowered his head, looking quite pitiful.

He muttered something under his breath.

Not long after, Qin Qi brought Zhuge Xiaobai and Zhuge Xiaolü to the central location, which was Zhuge Xiaobai's home.

In the hall, I saw Zhuge Gong drinking tea and scrolling through his phone.

......................................................

"Hey! Isn't this Master Qin Qi of the Quanzhen School? What brings you here? We've already received the invitation. Has there been any change?"

When Zhuge Gong saw Qin Qi suddenly appear, he was slightly surprised that he had not sensed any aura from him.

But at the same time, they wondered what Qin Qi was doing. Hadn't the invitation already been delivered? Why was he coming again?

“Post? No, I didn’t come here for that. I wanted to see your ancestors’ records about the Seven Star Lamp Technique.”

Qin Qi was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was probably referring to the post about Fang Dongtian's funeral ceremony.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Village also received it. No, I should say which family hasn't received it yet. Let's guess who we're not including today!

"The Seven Star Lamp Life-Extending Technique, you intend to extend the life of Daoist Fang Dongtian?"

"Forgive my bluntness, but even members of our Zhuge family have never mastered this technique."

“Even the records passed down from our ancestors are vague, and we suspect that they may just be a legend or a conjecture about magic.”

"It's not a practical way to prolong life. You can look into it if you want, but don't get your hopes up too high."

Zhuge Gong did not refuse Qin Qi's request, after all, the Seven Star Lamp for prolonging life was a legend in their Zhuge family.

Indeed, the legend is no secret, because no one except Zhuge Liang himself has ever been able to understand or learn this technique.

Over time, the Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Technique became a legend, known to many people, even the youngest children in the family.

There's no need to keep it a secret anymore, since no one can learn it, and we don't even know if it exists.

"It's alright, don't worry about whether it's useful or not. As long as you help me with this, I'll be grateful. You can contact me anytime if you need anything in the future."

Qin Qi spoke.

"Yes, Master Qin Qi is truly a man of integrity. Although the Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Technique is not particularly valuable, it was passed down from my ancestors."

"It's not appropriate to show this to outsiders, so how about we exchange them?"

Zhuge Gong revealed a cunning smile, just like a fox. He truly didn't mind showing Qin Qi the records of the Seven Star Lamp for prolonging life.

However, he also wanted to gain something from it; favors were ultimately troublesome, and practical benefits were more tangible.

"Sure, what do you want? Cultivation techniques? Miraculous elixirs? Or perhaps some magical item?"

Qin Qi is least afraid of exchanging things. With his abilities, there's practically nothing he can't get his hands on, unless you want the stars in the sky.

Hmm, it seems Qin Qi can also get his hands on this one.

"It's not that. I heard from my Qing that your magical arts are extremely advanced, so I would like to ask you to guide the younger generation of our Zhuge family."

"Hmm? Zhuge Qing is among them too?"

"Yes, Qing'er is naturally among them."

Qin Qi smiled. He understood. This old guy wanted him to help Zhuge Qing get rid of his inner demons.

At the same time, I was also thinking of asking him to help train the younger generation of the Zhuge family. Well, he's obligated to help someone who's paid him.

"Sure, I'll help you with this."

"Please wait a moment while I go get the books. I'll help you after you've finished reading them."

Zhuge Gong was also a meticulous person. Before asking Qin Qi for help, he first showed him the Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Method.

Chapter Ninety-Four: Little Gossip Zhuge Xiaobai, Heaven and Earth are in My Palm!

After Zhuge Gong brought the book, Qin Qi opened it and read it; there wasn't much text on it.

It should be said that it was very rare, and it looked as if the person was seriously ill and delirious, talking nonsense.

“Our family has spent a lot of time and energy trying to decipher these characters in various ways, but in the end we have come up with nothing.”

"So in the end, we came to the conclusion that the so-called Seven Star Lamp for extending life is just a legend."

Zhuge Gong looked at the seemingly nonsensical text above and sighed. He had also studied this before.

But in the end, he gained nothing. How he wished that what was recorded in the legends was true.

"No, that's enough."

Qin Qi had already gotten what he wanted from this; Zhuge Liang's writings were not nonsense, but rather things he couldn't say.

These words can be summarized in one sentence: Defying fate will inevitably bring divine retribution! It cannot be spoken, cannot be known, and cannot be done!

This does not record the method of using the Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Technique, but rather serves as a warning to future generations: do not attempt to defy the will of Heaven! Otherwise, you will certainly not have a good end.

"Ok?"

Zhuge Gong looked at Qin Qi, then at the text in the ancient book. In such a short time, Qin Qi had discovered something.

"Impossible!" Zhuge Gong stared at the text for a long time but couldn't see any changes.

"Master Qin Qi, what have you discerned?"

"It's nothing, I just realized that going against the will of Heaven will inevitably bring divine retribution."

"This, this is easy to see, isn't it?"

Zhuge Gong was even more puzzled. They had discovered this matter long ago, but what was the use? They didn't know the Seven Star Lamp Life Extension Technique.

"This thing is really useless to you. It doesn't record how to use the Seven Star Lamp. It's just a warning or a reminder to future generations."
