"Good, good. ”

Su Qiao smiled and turned his head to Hou Ying and said, "Qiqi shouldn't practice swords. We've just talked so much about it, and I've delayed your time. Go ahead. You and Fanxing still need your sister's help. ”

Hou Ying just wanted to speak, but Xia Fanxing preemptively said, "Let me tell you." ”

After all, this is his guess. Hou Ying trusted him so much and believed his thoughts. If it is not true in the end, he is also responsible.

After listening to Xia Fanxing's speculation about the closure of the Great Array in a few days, and his intention to go up the mountain to find Xuan Neng, Su Qiao's face became very complicated. There was a little uneasiness, but also admiration and surprise.

"Fanxing, you should know that not long ago, I also entered the sect at about the same time as those people. Some of the unaware sect elders classified me and them as the same person, and handed them over to the head of the Xinheng Dao to deal with. ”

"I have to say that your idea is not unfounded. In fact, I am a casual cultivator, and I definitely know more about the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty than those elders. And for all sects, this is indeed a good opportunity to eradicate our sect. ”

"Yes, what I'm most afraid of is that the sect masters, they acted with experience, and they didn't see the seriousness of this time. Xia Fanxing said anxiously.

"You're really smart, more mature than my Qiqi. I really don't know if it's the credit of more than two months of training outside. Su Qiao sighed with a smile and touched Hou Ying's sideburns affectionately.

"I came into contact with one or two of these people when I was in the sect. At the very least, the cultivation is in the Dan period. It can be seen that the status in the sect is definitely not low. In addition to the other seven ancient sects, a large number of second-rate sects also sent high-level sect leaders. It's really a good trick to confuse the enemy. However, if we take advantage of this God-given opportunity to completely wipe out our sect and share the benefits we get, wouldn't it be worth a few high-ranking members of the sect who were taken hostages?"

"Yes, but there is another possibility, the Sect Master thought of this, but felt that with the power of the outside alliance, it was impossible to exterminate my sect. However, a big war is bound to break out!"

"You see, it's a matter of degree. If those people didn't want to put the Yexin Sect to death, then they would actually have mobilized the people to make a fuss during the time when the big array was closed, but after all, it was just for show, and it would definitely not make the Yexin Sect hurt its muscles and bones. If they really want to destroy the sect, then they are definitely sure enough. At that time, the anti-security forces have been twisted into a rope. The location is favorable, and the Great Protector Array is closed. Harmony lies in the fact that the people of the whole world, except for the Chang'an Imperial Court, have already had an attitude towards the anti-thief An Lushan, and Yexinzong has already become the target of public criticism, and luck must be blocked. If anyone wants to eradicate its roots, the whole world will actually applaud!"

Su Qiao seriously analyzed them. The more Xia Fanxing listened, the more justified he felt, and shouted excitedly, "So, we have to do something! It is a matter of life and death for the sect, if the sect master is blinded by previous experience, we can't sit idly by! Although the subordinates are soft-spoken, they don't want them to gamble with those disciples of the outer sect with the fate of the sect." I can't afford to gamble!"

"What I want to know now is, Fanxing, don't you trust your master?"

Su Qiao looked into his eyes and asked. Xia Fanxing didn't know how to explain it, and in fact, there was no clear reason, why did he have to go up the mountain to find Xuan Neng. After a long time, Hou Ying helped him and said, "Sister Su, the Xuanneng Immortal Master once had the grace of preaching to him. And the two of them are very talkative. The junior brother will definitely not have any opinions on the senior uncle. But Uncle Xinheng is an elder of the Supreme Sect, and he also participates in the decisions made by the sect. So... may not necessarily be able to listen to his junior brother. ”

Hou Ying is very clear about Xia Fanxing's psychology. The disgust and fear of Xuan Neng were rooted in his heart, and he probably didn't want Su Qiao to know about the bad things between him and Xuan Neng.

"Haha, it's more thoughtful. Su Qiao laughed lightly twice to ease the atmosphere. "But you're still a little worried! In this kind of matter, the Taoist will never ignore the advice of others. Not to mention his beloved disciples. However, it's okay like this, if you can talk a little more about the immortal master and the stars, and his status is so high, it's better to tell him first. I have never seen the Xuanneng Immortal Master Dao Bone Immortal Wind, if I can go up to Meifeng to see the style, it is not worth the trip. ”

"That's really thank you Sister Su for helping!" Xia Fanxing said thank you. The mood also became heavy. After all... After so many things have happened, after countless speculations and hatreds, it will not be easy to face the mysterious energy again.

"I used this reason to talk to the Taoist. Let's see if he has any free time during the retreat. Wait for my news. By the way, let me tell you again, the Daoist told me yesterday that in three days, the Great Array will be closed. All twenty-four disciples had to go back to the inner sect to study their own schoolwork. I'll just wait until that time and go to the Taoist chief to discuss. Su Qiao agreed to their request and told them another important news.

"If nothing else... Let's go back and spend the last two or three days of the mountain guard. Su Qiao put the sword book into the wide pocket of his robe and said with a smile.

Xia Fanxing glanced at Hou Ying, Xia Fanxing had finished reading the content he let himself read yesterday, as a temporary teacher, Hou Ying still had to solve his doubts.

"Finally, Fanxing, we only met yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised that you could trust me. Su Qiao got up, walked to the side of the platform, and turned around and said to Xia Fanxing sincerely.

"Senior Sister told me, Sister Su, you are a former friend of Senior Sister, of course I will believe you. Xia Fanxing said as he gave his senior sister another look. Hou Ying slowly walked next to him, and suddenly turned back to Su Qiao and said,

"Sister Su, after the big array is closed, you will all be here, right?"

"Yes, you can come to me at any time. ”

Xia Fanxing turned his head and laughed silently. Senior Sister Hou, do you also have such a time when you are so sticky to a person? Walked outside the door, took out the things Hou Ying gave him from the storage bag in the hole, and put it in his hand to look at the previous content again.

"You won't leave the sect soon, will you?" Hou Ying's face turned a little red, and she couldn't help but ask Su Qiao with some hesitation.

Su Qiao showed a gentle smile on his face, walked off the platform, came to her side, and gently stroked Hou Ying's usually cold face, "Qiqi, don't be like this." My sister will definitely accompany you, don't worry. Go now!"

After the two said a few more words, Hou Ying walked out of the mansion. Xia Fanxing just wanted to tease her, but Senior Sister suddenly became the ice-like cold beauty she was in her usual days, and said lightly as she walked away, "The Third Cultivation Mansion is empty, let's go there." You retell me the concept of the Star Palace. Also, do you have any questions about the Seven Killings of the First Turn?"

Xia Fanxing hurriedly followed Hou Ying's footsteps and came to the third cultivation mansion behind the sect mansion. The interior is exactly the same as the mansion just now. Hou Ying sat on a meditation platform, and Xia Fanxing consciously stood beside her like a student, repeating the concept of the star palace she had learned last night.

Cultivating the sect of the Star Palace Dao Sect, the disciple has had the concept of the Star Palace since he was a child, but it was the first time for Xia Fanxing to have such a specific understanding as yesterday, and he found that he still had a lot of things that he didn't understand.

To explain the existence of the Star Palace, we have to start with the four major star arts.

The Four Great Astralism is the general name of the Four Great Dao Sects - Heavenly Machine, Heavenly Yin, Star Nakshatra and Seven Killings. Among them, the Xingshu Dao School covers a very variety of tribal astrology, and it basically does not belong to any of the sixteen constellations of Ziwei Doushu, and is dominated by Ziwei Xingshu with a high threshold, with a wide range, so it is commonly known as the Sea of Stars.

The four star palace Taoist sects correspond to the four main stars. They are the Seven Killing Stars, the Heavenly Machine Star, and the Purple Micro Star, while the Heavenly Yin corresponds to the Taiyin Constellation. In the doctrine of Ziwei Doushu Constellation, which occupies an important position in Taoist scholarship, except for the two constellations of Lucun Wenqu, the remaining fourteen main constellations can enter the palace, which is called the Star Palace.

These four nakshatras are the most widely developed and can replace the effects of other nakshatras to a certain extent. The first generation of Seven Killing Star Monarchs in the Immortal Realm, the generation of Yin Star Monarchs known as Mingjian Gao Shizu in later generations, as well as the famous Ziwei Emperor, and the Tianji Palace represented by the Four Yuan Origin Divine Beasts, are all the culmination of their respective Taoist sects.

The other twelve nakshatras are also said to have very complex transmissions in the upper realms. And in the Nether, the Four Great Dao Sects are not the only choice of cultivation. Those who cultivate the art of the four major constellations are often referred to as the Star Cultivation School, and they have a wide range in the sixty-four sects of Middle Earth. Aside from the scattered cultivation of having no roots and no foundation and only cultivating the basic Dao Method, like the two evil sects in the Western Regions, they do not practice the Star Palace, but practice another ancient evil art, the way of refining death; in fact, there is another way of cultivation that is known to women and children, and that is the Dharma of Buddhism.

These things that Hou Ying wrote down in his previous notes, Xia Fanxing had an outstanding memory since he was a child, so he memorized them word for word. Hou Ying couldn't help but remind, "Don't say anything else, just repeat the formation process and universal functions of the Star Palace." ”

"Okay, okay. ”

"For mortals, no matter what race they are, the fourteen nakshatras exist and have an influence on them. In the general Taoist divination theory, there is the saying of the palace of life. A person's birth date determines what kind of stars will enter the house of his life. And people's natal horoscopes often play a certain role in determining their luck and character. ”

"But when it comes to cultivating, it's going against the sky. When we are able to master the ability to learn astrology, the natal constellations determined by our birth will not interfere with us, so that we can choose the astrology we want to practice, and we can master the power of the nakshatras, and have the ability to control our own destiny and character. ”

"When you start to practice the Seven Killing Techniques, the Seven Killing Stars will turn against the guest and suppress the natal stars in the original natal palace. After a short period of practice, a star palace will automatically be formed within the divine consciousness, and the seven killing stars of the upper realm will be sensed with the divine consciousness, forming a star formed by the mind, which is in a parallel position with the divine consciousness. And as the cultivation deepens, it will gradually lead to the surrounding stars orbiting the main star. Although this star was formed in its own body, it was able to sense the Seven Killing Stars of the Upper Realm because of the cultivation of astrology. ”

"Take the Seven Killing Stars as an example, all the Seven Killing Star Qi can only be emitted because of the induction with the dantian here. Therefore, the Seven Killing Star Palace can be said to be the foundation of the entire Seven Killing Star Technique. ”

"Actually, the Seven Kills Star is like rain. It itself is in the heavenly realm, and occasionally it rains within a certain range, and some people are wet, that is, the Seven Killing Stars enter the life palace of these people. But there will always be some people on the earth who know how to call for wind and rain, and when they call for the heavy rain to fall on their heads, they can also sense a part of it, and it will rain on these people's heads... Gradually, because the Seven Killing Star Palace was formed. Xia Fanxing grinned and recalled this paragraph, and after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but laugh.

Hou Ying also smiled faintly, "What's the matter? Isn't this analogy quite vivid?"

This is the explanation she once made for the Star Palace and the astrology in the notes to help her understand. At that time, I was young, and the words were still weird and interesting.

"Remember, it's all right. I think you're so smart that you should be perfectly fine with understanding. Let me ask you two questions. Compare the details. These conceptual things must be remembered clearly, otherwise it will be a shame to say the wrong thing in front of others. ”

"Senior sister, just ask. "Not to mention anything else, Xia Fanxing is still very confident in terms of memory. He has loved reading since he was a child, not only limited to cultivation, all kinds of historical stories, Zhiwei novels, these are not strictly controlled by those private schools in the sect, he has dabbled in them, his memory is very good, and his knowledge is also very wide.

"Let's see what you understand. Do you think it is easy to form the Seven Killing Star Palace or the Purple Micro Star Palace?"

Xia Fanxing thought about it for a while, and then understood what the senior sister wanted to investigate herself. "If the natal constellation is different from the constellation of the Star Palace, it should be much easier to kill the astral technique. The righteousness of the Seven Killing Stars is strong, fearless, and fearless, and it will be easier to suppress the natal stars of the Natal Palace. If the natal star is the same as the star house star, there should be no difference.

I have one more thought, though... I once learned in a book about some of the meaning of the two constellations for the house of life. People in the Ziwei of the Natal Palace are often able to rise to the top and have a good personality of controlling others, while the people of the Seven Killings of the Natal Palace are often open-minded, but they are easy to be blinded by others' words, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil. In the long run, the seven killings are not necessarily better than Ziwei for the way of life. ”

"So, if it takes a long time, will Ziwei's suppression of the Life Palace be better than the Seven Kills?"

Hou Ying was stunned by him at first, but after reacting, she nodded with satisfaction and praised, "You are very smart and good at thinking." That's a lot of good. But junior brother, you got the root cause wrong. The natal palace of the star cultivator will never have a comeback like what you said. Astrology guides star power into the body and directly seals the life palace. Self-contained star palace. You have to know that the natal palace is actually something that does not exist. To use my analogy, the rain is evaporated by the fire, and there is no possibility of recurrence. ”

"That's... What my sister means, I see... That is, the control of the natal planet over the natal house only creates a certain connection when a person is born, and this connection is only once. And this connection is vague, so it only affects his personality and temper and other things that cannot be seen directly. After cultivating the star, the penetration of the main star of the upper realm into the star palace is actual and can be felt. That's why it's for us. ”

This understanding is completely correct. So, don't worry about your previous questions. Let me ask you one more question. What are the star positions of the four major constellations in the Ziwei Doushu?" Hou Ying nodded with satisfaction.

"Let me think... The three major stars in the sky, Ziwei and Taiyin occupy two of them. Ziwei is the Celestial Star in the North Pole. The rest of the two solar nakshatras are opposite, each occupying either side of the central celestial star. The Seven Killing Star is the sixth of the Southern Dipper. Tianji Star is the third star of the Southern Dipper. ”

"It's all right. Very good. Hou Ying nodded, relieved with satisfaction.

Xia Fanxing was a little proud, and then his expression became a little twisted for some reason, and he said in a slur manner, "Senior sister... I have memorized all the recipes of the Seven Killings, and I have also read and memorized all of its cultivation and meditation methods. But... Last night, I tried to use this method to get lucky, but I didn't feel like the dantian had any reaction. ”

Hou Ying smiled, "Do you think it might be effective so quickly? At least insist on trying to practice qi in this way for a few days, and your dantian will naturally adapt to it. Remind you that when using the Seven Kills Technique to practice Qi, it is best to try to forget the past Qi training methods. After a period of cultivation, you will naturally sense that the Star Palace is slowly forming. ”

Xia Fanxing had no choice but to nod. At this time, there was a brisk sound of footsteps outside the door of the cultivation mansion. The two looked at each other and cast their gaze outward.

As a result, the person who walked in was a person who boasted that he had been busy recently.

And he had a relaxed look on his face. After the two saluted, Hou Ying stepped aside and gave up her position to Xin Heng.

"You go on, I'm just here to see if my apprentice is too stupid to make you difficult to teach!" Xin Heng said to Hou Ying with a smile in a brisk tone. Xia Fanxing was a little helpless, but he must have known that there must be something else when the master suddenly came at this time.

And, seeing how easy his expression is... There is only one possibility, and that is that the master has already dealt with those foreign sect people who are negotiating with him. It's a pity that looking at Master's expression like this, I probably haven't realized that those people have malicious intentions. But it shouldn't be, some time ago, the master came out for the sect to investigate the relationship between the Tianqi Sect and An Lushan. Xia Fanxing always felt that Xin Heng had been in the Tang Dynasty for a while, and with his identity, he should always sense that something was wrong like himself, right?

"Senior uncle, junior brother is very smart, and he understands the concept of Star Palace. He's already experimenting with the use of the star technique. Hou Ying reported to Xinheng with a sense of accomplishment.

Xin Heng glanced at Xia Fanxing, who was a little embarrassed, and nodded with satisfaction, "Very good." However, in vain, it is still necessary to try to speed up the pace of learning. ”

"I understand. ”

"Hou Ying, in the next period of time, Uncle Shi will rest assured that he will be handed over to you. But then, I want to let Fanxing learn some methods about the blood of stars as soon as possible. So I'll let the stars know in two days, and you'll be waiting for me here. As a teacher, I will teach you some simple knowledge about this method. And Hou Ying, if you have any doubts in this regard, you can ask Uncle Shi. ”

"Uncle Shi... Actually, this is a bit too hasty, isn't it? After all, junior brother, he has just come into contact with the First Transformation Seven Killing Technique, so he directly took him to cultivate the Star Qi into the blood? At least... Let him also come into contact with the Second Turn Seven Killing Technique, right?" asked Hou Ying puzzled.

Xia Fanxing was also stunned. He understood what it was for the stars to enter the blood. Moreover, in the secret realm, I have seen with my own eyes the incomparable power of Hou Yingxing's whole body after his qi enters the blood. In a short period of time, the star qi was integrated into the bloodline, and all the turbid qi in the bloodline was discharged in an instant through the foundation building spirit ding, so that the whole person was surrounded by the extremely powerful seven killing star qi.

As Hou Ying, who is the Tianjiao of the sect, her foundation building grade is Bading. Regardless of whether Xia Fanxing could have such a powerful ability to absorb when he had just obtained the Seven Foundation Building Spirit Tripods. He hadn't even touched the threshold of establishing a Star Palace now, and he couldn't refine a trace of Seven Killing Star Qi through the First Transformation Seven Killing Technique! How could he learn this profound method?

"Haha, don't worry. Uncle Shi naturally knows the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. It's just to let the stars know about this spell. Let him try, at least in a few months. As for the reason why the teacher is so planned... You'll understand. It's a big chance. Originally... Uncle Shi plans to let Hou Ying try it too, but the confused senior brother doesn't want to do it, so forget it. Xin Heng sighed and patted Xia Fanxing's shoulder.

"Wait... Uncle Shi, what do you mean?" Hou Ying hurriedly asked, what... Big chance?

Similarly, Xia Fanxing was also confused. "Niece, if you want to know, the next time you see your master, he should tell you, don't dwell on it, ah. ”

Xin Heng said with a smile, and then immediately became serious, and immediately ended the topic with one sentence, "There is one more thing, I will tell you two about the other disciples first." ”

"Two days later, due to some sect affairs, all the twenty-four disciples who were at the foot of the Ling Mountain were on duty. Now it should be said that there are twenty-three disciples. All of them have to go back to the inner sect immediately. The time for the festival has been set, and it will be an auspicious day half a month later. Prior to this, all twenty-four disciples had cultivated on their own in the Inner Sect. The schoolwork of the disciples of the Middle Gate will also be reduced, and the Twelve Spirit Mountains will increase their manpower. The two hundred disciples of the outer sect on the outside of the inner sect must also stay in the designated area. Do not go out without permission. ”
