Chapter 29: The Tribulation of the Seven Star Lanterns
A few days later, the bright moon was in the sky, the cold dew was deep at night, and Zhuge Liang suppressed the joy in his heart.
Originally, it was expected that it would take seven days to refine the Seven Star Lantern; However, tonight is only the fourth night, and the refinement of the Seven Star Lantern is about to be completed. Refining the magic weapon Seven Star Lantern went so smoothly, how could Zhuge Liang not be happy?
In fact, although this is unexpected, it is also inevitable.
After refining the seven-star lantern every night, Zhuge Liang will absorb the starlight and restore the mana in the sea of consciousness, which can be regarded as cultivation by the way. The mana accumulated over the past few days is not a small number compared to his current cultivation.
At present, the mana reserves in his sea of consciousness are more than double that of when he first started cultivating.
Originally, it could only be practiced three times a night, but now, it can be practiced six or seven times a night, which naturally shortens the time.
Moreover, after the initial refinement, the Seven Star Lantern was barely able to absorb the starlight, which could not only accelerate Zhuge Liang's cultivation, but also warm up those mana channels in the lamp on its own, and also save Zhuge Liang from recuperating once a day.
In the past few nights, Lu Qiling has witnessed the seven-star lantern from a mortal iron bump to a starry baby.
Even, in the last few times, whenever Zhuge Liang has completed his refining, the seven-star lamp can still hang three feet in front of him for a short time; As long as Zhuge Liang's mind moved slightly, the seven-star lantern could still surround him and fly within three zhang of his body.
is so magical, which makes Lu Da Lori yearn for it very much: she really wants such a seven-star lamp!
It's a pity that the seven-star lamp is a magic weapon used by monks, and she is a martial artist, even if she is given a seven-star lamp, she can't drive it.
With the Seven Star Lamp about to be successfully refined, Zhuge Liang understood many of the effects of this lamp after a little fumbling. Not to mention anything else, it is to control the seven-star lantern to fly around the body, which has a great use.
Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. As long as this lamp is within three feet of him, no hidden arrow can hurt him in the slightest.
……
After a short break in the practice, Zhuge Liang recovered his mana, and he was ready to work hard to complete the Seven Star Lantern tonight.
Suddenly, a few dark clouds appeared out of thin air in the night sky, obscuring the starlight and eating the moonlight. Moreover, the dark clouds seem to be gathering more and more, and the time for half a pillar of incense is not enough, and it is already dark clouds covering the sky. At this time, there was also a cold wind in the forest.
Is this the coming rhythm of a thundershower?
However, whether it was Zhuge Liang or Lu Qiling, they both felt wrong at this time.
You must know that tonight is late September, and it is about to enter the middle of winter, how can there be thundershowers?
This dark cloud, and this wind, are coming very strangely!
"Mr. Kong Ming, this vision can't be caused by your magic weapon Seven Star Lantern, right?"
Surprised, Lu Qiling muttered unintentionally, but it instantly made Zhuge Liang's heart move.
This dark cloud in the sky is actually a precursor to the thunderstorm!
It's just that Zhuge Liang is a little puzzled, the seven-star lamp in his hand is a magic weapon that has just been refined, and it is not too rebellious, how can there be a thunder tribulation baptism?
Moreover, from ancient times to the present, there is no magic weapon that needs to survive the thunder tribulation!
According to the legend of the monk world, only when a monk steps from the Yin God Realm to the Yang God Realm, he needs to go through the baptism of thunder. Like magic weapons, pills and the like, even if they are against the sky, as long as they are not contaminated with heinous sins, there can be no thunder tribulation.
However, his Zhuge Liang's seven-star lantern had just come out, and he hadn't even tasted blood, so how could he be contaminated with sin?
……
The wind was howling, the earth was groaning, the dark clouds in the sky were already as black as ink, and the originally bright night sky was also out of sight at this time, and even the light of the seven-star lantern seemed to be suppressed by some kind of force.
Between the dark clouds, from time to time there were a silver snake or two flickering; The thunder that runs through the heavens and the earth is brewing.
"What should I do, sir?"
"Let's find a place to hide, shall we?"
Lu Qiling grabbed Zhuge Liang's sleeve, and her tone was a little trembling.
No matter how rebellious the warrior is, in front of the power of heaven and earth, he can only tremble!
"Can't hide!" Zhuge Liang replied.
The tone was full of unwillingness, anger, and some helplessness.
Now, he was sure that this thunderstorm must have come because of the Seven Star Lantern.
In a flash, Zhuge Liang remembered many rumors in the monk world, including the Sea of Stars.
Legend has it that the sea of stars in ancient times was fought with another great force, and the heavens and the earth were torn apart, so that both of them were condemned to the sky. Then, it was directly destroyed by thunder from the sky; Affected by the Heavenly Tribulation, there are also many great powers in ancient times.
It stands to reason that the Sea of Stars has been destroyed by the Heavenly Dao, and whether it is sin or merit, it should be stopped.
It's just that heaven is the most fair. Because the sins of the Sea of Stars are monstrous, everything related to it, whether it is a person, whether it is a practice, even a magic weapon or artifact, naturally extends a sin.
This is like the wheel gong of later generations, *** is naturally damned, after the collapse of its group, everything related to it is still within the scope of strong blows. Once someone propagates and someone practices, they will inevitably be questioned.
Zhuge Liang obtained the inheritance of the Sea of Stars, and when he changed the Taoism of the Sea of Stars, he naturally inherited a sin.
At this time, I think that the original owner practiced some time ago, and it may not be that this sin is at work. Fortunately, the original owner had great luck, and although he was crossed by his soul in the afterlife, he did not completely die in the end.
Now, the seven-star lantern refined by Zhuge Liang is also a thing of the sea of stars, and it is another sin that falls from the sky!
It's just that this thunder tribulation seems to be a rhythm that won't stop if it doesn't extinguish his Zhuge Liang and the Seven Star Lantern!
It can also be seen from this that this sea of stars was so sinful in ancient times!
It is no wonder that in the past thousands of years, various rumors of the Sea of Stars have been noisy, but there is no inheritance of the Sea of Stars.
With such a big sin, all people or things that are close to the sea of stars will be affected by the Heavenly Tribulation to the Nine Clans; In the past thousands of years, even if someone obtains the inheritance of the Sea of Stars, I am afraid that they will immediately die under the curse of heaven.
If the original owner hadn't been lucky, I'm afraid that he would have died tragically under the catastrophe.
It's just that now, because of the Seven Star Lantern, the Thunder Tribulation is about to be added, if you don't choose in time, the inheritance of the Star Sea will be broken in the hands of his Zhuge Liang, and I'm afraid that death is also close at hand.
Looking at the seven-star lamp that radiated light in his hand, Zhuge Liang was unwilling, but also reluctant.
Right now, there is only one way out in front of him, and that is to throw the seven-star lamp far away. The Heavenly Tribulation came because of the Seven Star Lantern, and when the time came, the thunder bombarded only the Seven Star Lantern, which might affect him Zhuge Liang, but he would not be regarded as the main target.
If he hadn't thrown away the seven-star lamp, he Zhuge Liang would be remembered by the coming thunder along with this lamp.
With his Zhuge Liang's current little arms and legs, under the thunder, he will become ashes.
In the Xianxia novels of later generations, there are people with big brains who actually came up with the idea of using lightning rods to avoid lightning disasters. Now, Zhuge Liang really wants that kind of guy to experience for himself, what is called Thunder Tribulation.
Of course, if Zhuge Liang is as lucky as the original owner, he can naturally choose to resist hard.
However, then again, if Zhuge Liang really had the strong luck of the original owner, the heavenly curse that came here would not be a thunder tribulation.
At most, it is a natural and man-made disaster.
……
"Look, sir, the thunder is gone, and the clouds are receding!"
Zhuge Liang was thinking about luck, ignoring the movement in the sky.
But Lu Qiling, who was beside her, was always paying attention, for fear that she would be added by thunder in the next moment. At this time, seeing that the silver snake that was originally shuttling between the dark clouds disappeared, and the dark clouds were also fading, Lu Qiling was naturally surprised.
Hearing the sound, Zhuge Liang looked up, and sure enough, the electric sparks between the dark clouds were gone, and the originally dark clouds were gradually fading, and even the moonlight was pouring down through the cracks.
The clouds rise and disperse, and the front and back add up, and it is only half a pillar of incense.
The thunderstorm that was about to be added to the body actually disappeared?
Zhuge Liang urged the seven-star lamp, only to see that under the light, the dark clouds seemed to be being dispersed by some kind of force.
This is not the means of the monks!
The monk can call the wind and rain, and naturally he can also dispel the wind and rain; However, that is for naturally occurring wind and rain. No matter how awesome the monk is, he can't dispel the thunder tribulation, and he can't dispel the dark clouds and winds caused by the thunder tribulation!
Since it is not a monk's means, then it can only be luck.
In other words, just tonight, at the moment when the Thunder Tribulation was about to be added, he Zhuge Liang gained a huge amount of luck.
It's just that if a monk doesn't cultivate to the Yin God Realm, he can't check his luck.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang thought of Zhang Zhongjing, the miracle doctor in Nieyang County.
After a while, the wind dissipated.
The moon still shines in the night sky, and the stars are still in the sky, as if nothing has happened before.
If it weren't for the fallen leaves all over the ground and the slightest coolness on his body, Zhuge Liang would almost think he was dreaming.
Looking at the bright moon and stars, and then at the seven-star lamp in his hand, Zhuge Liang was ecstatic in his heart, but he couldn't share it with others.
After a while, Zhuge Liang patted the arm that Lu Qiling was still holding on his sleeve, and said with a smile: "This wave of tribulation is over, starting tomorrow night, I will wash the true qi in the dantian for you!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Qiling was so happy that she almost jumped up.
"Thank you, sir!"
She has already witnessed the magic of the seven-star lantern. With this lamp, she will refine the true qi in her body, and then practice some kind of masterful exercises, and she will soon be able to enter the Condensation Gang Realm, at this moment, Lu Qiling is convinced of this.
……
Zhuge Liang was also very happy.
The Luck Fruit is magical!
Tonight, he suddenly gained a lot of luck, and even the thunder tribulation that was about to be added to his body could be dismissed?
In the future, as long as he doesn't die, who can help him?!
As for Lu Qiling's transformation of the martial arts techniques of the Sea of Stars, it may also attract heavenly punishment, Zhuge Liang is no longer worried.
In fact, the way of heaven is justice, rewarding meritorious service and punishing guilty.
Those who are blessed with good fortune are all worthy of heaven and earth; Luck offsets sins, and to put it bluntly, merit is to redeem sins.
Nowadays, Zhuge Liang is not clear how much luck he has gained due to the method of pox; However, this piece of luck is endless. In the future, as long as he Zhuge Liang does not commit heinous sins and other small sins, this luck will be enough to redeem the merits.
