Chapter 8: Strength
It is a beautiful little village with lush greenery and a patchwork of villages. A slender river winds around the village, with jagged trees on the embankment, fresh grass and flocks of cattle and sheep. Underneath the embankment are several interlaced paths and endless expanses of wilderness. There is an old and simple wooden bridge across the river, and the river flows under it. A little boy herding cattle leans on a willow tree and leisurely shakes a willow branch.
Yi Chen slowly walked on the riverbank, wandering with the memories of the little boy's growth. Since the roulette wheel entered his body, he has often had all kinds of dreams, each time it is a different scene, a different character, with them with sorrow and joy, and each person in the dream seems to be himself. It's a pity that almost every dream is incomplete, and often the person in the dream grows to a certain extent, and the dream disappears, and this time is no exception.
The morning sun shines through the window on Yi Chen's face, waking Yi Chen from his sleep.
"Whew. He blew a breath, "Why have you been dreaming lately?" ...... he reached out and touched his heart, and he could feel the roulette wheel spinning with his heartbeat, "It has something to do with it?"
"These are the lives of those people in the petals, in that case, let's call you the wheel of fate. He was inexplicably curious.
"I don't know what it does. Yi Chen couldn't figure it out, "Anyway, it saved my life, so whatever, it's important to do your own thing." ”
He ran to the yard, his father had gone out to hunt early, and his mother was making breakfast, he waved his fist and practiced a set of Five Elements Xingyi Boxing, and he was slightly sweaty, and he suddenly felt refreshed and comfortable.
At this time, it was a few months before the hunt for the wind leopard, and it was already early spring, and Yi Tian strictly forbade him to go up the mountain again. He has nothing to do, except for going to the academy with a few peers to practice calligraphy and boxing, that is, to go to the secret room to learn the pulse array technique.
For the pulse array technique, although he had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he first entered the secret room.
The secret room occupies a large area, and after entering, there is a hall, and there is a strong aura inside, which should be due to the formation of a spirit gathering array. Passing through the hall, there was a small room, which, although it looked like a room, was actually a large hole in the wall, square, and served as a room to store things.
There are bookshelves built of wooden planks in the room, and there are some martial arts cheats scattered on them, most of which are yellow-level lower-grade exercises, and there are also several yellow-level middle-grade and upper-grade exercises such as Wanliu Piaofeng Palm, Flying Dragon Nine Swords, and Tianyuan Heart Method. Yi Chen looked at it casually a few times, but it had nothing to do with the pulse array, and he was suddenly little interested.
He searched for a long time, and finally found a rectangular wooden box in the pile of books at the bottom of the bookshelf, which was simple and heavy, antique, and looked like it had been around for some years.
He gently brushed the dust off the box, gently lifted the lid of the box, and found that there were two silk books inside, one was the genealogy of the Simon family, and the other was the pulse array technique. There is also a strange sword, without a scabbard, the sword body is wide, the whole body is inky blue, and some silver dots are sparsely dotted on it, like a starry night sky, if you look closely, it looks more like a spiral nebula, and what is even stranger is that those patterns seem to be changing all the time, which makes Yi Chen very surprised.
Yi Chen stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the sword, and lifted it hard, but the strange sword did not move at all, he held it with both hands instead, and used the strength to eat milk, but it still didn't work, he tossed for a long time, and was about to give up. Suddenly, he felt the wheel of fate turning, and a stream of heat turned into a trace of spiritual power, along the meridians of Yi Chen, through the palm of his hand, breaking out of his body, and intertwining with the ink sword. The spiritual power was integrated into the sword body, connecting countless silver dots in series, and lighting up the layers of silver stars on the sword body. Yi Chen felt like he was connected to this sword, and the weight of the sword body slowly decreased until it was suitable for Yi Chen's physique. Yi Chen held the sword in front of his eyes, carefully observed the pattern on the sword body that seemed to be composed of stars, déjà vu, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "This is the scene in the wheel of fate." ”
Looking at the sword body that was as bright as a diamond, Yi Chen was secretly speechless, he couldn't tell what kind of skill it took to forge such a sword.
"It's not just for the sake of looking good. Yi Chen thought to himself, he injected spiritual power into the sword, but he was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no reaction.
"Forget it, at my level, I guess I can't urge this sword's ability. He put his sword in the ring with his backhand, and then opened the genealogy.
According to the genealogy, an ancestor of the Ximen clan had an adventure and was fortunate enough to find the pulse array technique and the Nebula Sword. Until a gifted clansman discovered the pulse array repair technique, and noticed some abnormal activities in the heavenly realm, after being known by the heavenly realm, in the year 8617 of the Dragon Star Era, more than 300 members of the Ximen clan were killed. Ximen Hao's great-grandfather, Ximen Yanlong, escaped with a secret technique under the protection of the whole clan, and since then, the Ximen family has been passed down for three generations, and it has collapsed.
Yi Chen secretly fought for the Ximen family.
As for the Nebula Sword, although it was obtained by the clansmen, it could not be controlled and controlled for a long time, so it had to be shelved.
Yi Chen carefully flipped through the book of pulse array techniques, and the whole silk book was divided into three parts, the first part was the essentials of the exercises, the second part was some pulse array diagrams, and the third part was the pulse array application experience. The detailed explanations page by page opened Yichen's eyes.
Dongfang Yu is the only descendant of the clan in the pulse array, and she has also taught Yi Chen some simple pulse arrays sporadically, but Yi Chen still knows little about the pulse array in general, and it is not until now that he suddenly opened it.
The Pulse Array Technique was accidentally discovered by the Ancestor of Ximen in an ancient ruin a long time ago, and this technique seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult. It originates from the perception of the operation law of the spiritual power of all things in heaven and earth, and then simulates the corresponding operation law based on the body's meridian system to achieve the corresponding effect. But with the body as a array, the risk is very high, once the spiritual power exceeds the body's endurance, it will cause irreparable damage to the body, and forcibly cast a pulse array beyond one's own strength, often injuring the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicting eight hundred. Therefore, the pulse array not only has extremely high requirements for the control of spiritual power, but also has extremely high requirements for the individual's physique, and if you don't understand the infinite possibilities of this technique, almost no one wants to waste effort on this seemingly incredible application.
The Five Elements Qi Gathering Array that Yi Chen had previously cast was one of the simplest formations, although it only involved a few meridians between the five acupuncture points, it was already the limit of what his body could bear.
In the second part of the cheats, more than a dozen pulse formations are listed from simple to complex, including defensive, offensive, and both, all of which are detailed with running routes, taboos, functions, etc.
A primary pulse array named Soul Devouring Armor attracted Yi Chen's attention, he was carefully pondering the operation of this array, the trajectory of the formation was clearly imprinted in his mind, and suddenly the corresponding acupuncture points in his body heated up, and the spiritual power in his body operated on its own, and the spiritual power broke through in the small meridians that he had not yet opened, and he couldn't stop at all, some small meridians broke apart, and it hurt like a knife, and a drop of blood oozed out of Yi Chen's skin.
The strange thing is that the meridians were broken, and the spiritual power that should have stopped functioning was not hindered in the slightest, and those broken meridians miraculously repaired themselves, the front meridians were broken, and the back meridians were constantly reborn until the new meridians could withstand the impact of this array of spiritual power.
Yi Chen could clearly feel the changes in his own meridians, and the whole process flashed in his consciousness very vividly, just like he was in a dream in the wheel of fate.
"How can I have this kind of repair power and perception?" Yi Chen was stunned for a long time and didn't come to his senses.
Until the pulse array was formed, a thin layer of black armor appeared on his body, and he could even clearly perceive all the information such as the efficacy, endurance, and attack power of the armor.
"What's wrong with me, it's impossible! The changes in my body should be suitable for that encounter, this kind of repair and perception ability, could it be the effect of the roulette wheel?" Yi Chen seemed to realize.
Yi Chen tried another set of ice pulse arrays, and it was still the same.
He tried to make a long cut on his arm, and he could clearly see the cut muscles and oozing blood, and before the blood could flow out, the itching sensation spread all over the body, and the wounds actually slowly closed and grew back together, this kind of power was a hundred times more magical than the Liangyi Returning Yuan Array Repair Technique performed by Dongfang Yu.
Yi Chen's nervous heart was beating fast, he couldn't figure out what this kind of adventure meant to him, blessing and curse, there was no clear line, maybe this was his fate.
