Chapter 256: Southern Dipper Life-Storing Talisman

The next day, Chen hour.

Chen Hang returned from meditation, and after his breath was adjusted, he pushed the door and left the quiet room.

And at this time outside the house, a feather-clothed child had just come to welcome him, and after Chen Hang greeted him, he followed him through the halls and rooms.

When he arrived at the main hall, Ding Hepu was already sitting on the cloud bed with a smile.

Behind him, two attendants each held a golden banner, written with the characters of stars, sun, and moon, and the light was clear and could not be looked at directly.

At this time, there were yellow clouds covering the room, purple qi filling the courtyard, and the light was like stars, with nine-colored light clouds, truly an immortal Daoist field outside the world!

"Disciple greets the Yuanshu Zhenjun."

Chen Hang entered the hall and bowed.

"No need to be polite."

Ding Hepu smiled slightly, without saying much, just bent his finger slightly, knocked on the jade chime in the center of the table, and the two attendants behind him immediately understood, recited a spell, and shook the golden banners in their hands gently.

In a moment.

Heavenly music was faint, clouds and mist covered the ground, and auspicious light and rosy clouds filled the sky.

After the strange scene disappeared, only two objects floated down from the golden banners, which were held in Ding Hepu's palm as he raised his hand slightly.

Chen Hang looked at them.

They were a nine-aperture precious pearl overflowing with fiery light, and a secret text talisman three inches high.

When he was confused, Ding Hepu just turned his palm, and the precious pearl and the secret talisman flew down from the high cloud bed, like tired birds returning to the forest, falling around Chen Hang's body, circling, neither fast nor slow.

"Sword technique cultivation requires the most concentration, keeping one's mind on the Dao, and not allowing external objects to confuse one; this kind of great killing technique, although it sounds famous, is nothing but the transformation of purity, the so-called punishing evil and falsehood, beheading thirty-six thousand kinds of external demons, washing the heart without filth, and screening demons and evils, all these kinds of actions require a firm heart..."

Ding Hepu spoke loudly, his voice rumbling and echoing on the four walls, like thunder hitting the ground.

After a long while, after a long speech.

Ding Hepu stopped his mouth with unfinished interest, pointed at Chen Hang, and shouted:

"And your shortcoming is that your heart is not pure! The Daoist methods you cultivate are too mixed and too many; if you are so distracted and use them, although you have many fighting means and strong killing power, where do you have time to specialize?

Like the Daoists of the Zhongyi Sword Sect, let you have a thousand supernatural powers and ten thousand kinds of magic, I will come and go with one sword... This method, in the eyes of a group of Xuanmen fellow Daoists, is too sword-leaning, but it is not without subtlety!"

Hearing this, Chen Hang's eyes flashed slightly, as if lost in thought.

A moment later, he bowed:

"Please, Yuanshu Zhenjun, give me pointers!"

"The two objects around you, one is called the Buqingdu Correct Talisman, which can protect the cultivator's primordial spirit from being destroyed, and is used for your protection later; as for that nine-aperture pearl..."

Ding Hepu first said the origin of the secret text talisman, and then suddenly grinned, as if thinking of some happy event, and pointed at the nine-aperture precious pearl, opening his mouth:

"That nine-aperture pearl was a treasure of this Yuanshu Zhenjun's Senior Brother; it contains an inner scene world, with ten thousand fire evil spirits living in it, but their strength is not obvious, and it is specifically used for refining tools, melting materials, and adding fire to the furnace, and was later asked for by this Yuanshu Zhenjun and collected in the inner mansion!"

"What does the Yuanshu Zhenjun mean?"

Chen Hang's guess vaguely rose in his heart.

"I have already said before, it is precisely because you are too distracted that it is difficult for your sword Dao progress to break through the barrier. Later, you will enter this nine-aperture pearl, and you can only use sword technique means to deal with the enemy; you cannot use other means!

Don't worry, with this Buqingdu Correct Talisman, even if you are not an enemy, it can protect your primordial spirit!

After you die, I will personally send you to reincarnation!"

Ding Hepu laughed, said:

"The blade invades the chest, the fire forces the skin, seeking life in death...

In the past, in dangerous situations such as snake poison and ghost qi, people could find strange plans!

I hope you can have some realization in this place, and if you can attain the 'body and sword as one' realm, that would be the best; it will not be in vain for this Yuanshu Zhenjun's painstaking efforts, work hard! Work hard!"

After speaking.

He didn't allow Chen Hang to say much more.

The Buqingdu Correct Talisman hit Chen Hang's Purple Palace between his eyebrows and melted into his body.

At the same time, the nine-aperture precious pearl also shook gently, made a clear sound, and in a moment sprayed a beam of bright red rosy light, rolling Chen Hang into the pearl body.

"By the way, I almost forgot you have a few magic artifacts..."

Looking at the empty steps, Ding Hepu suddenly patted his head, as if thinking of something.

He was just about to pinch the Dharma decision to lock up the few magic artifacts, but later seemed to dislike the trouble, just reached out and fished in the air, and three objects flew out from the pearl body, which were the Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo, the Five-Qi Qiankun Ring, and the Moon Wheel Mirror.

"Five-Direction Spirit-Suppressing Talisman? Is this a noble clan's magic artifact? Grabbed from the mystic realm?"

When Ding Hepu's gaze moved to the Moon Wheel Mirror, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head:

"Do good to the end... I will help you wipe out this magic power restriction!"

After speaking, he raised his hand and brushed it flat, and a vast water smoke immediately flew out from his fontanelle; once it appeared in the world, it shook the clouds and mist in the sky to shatter and collapse in a moment, the sound heard for a hundred miles, and the power was fierce and magnificent!

Facing this incoming blow.

The Moon Wheel Mirror couldn't even find a trace of space to dodge, and was hit straight on the mirror surface by the water smoke!

Only hearing a "crack" sound, like the sharp sound of the electric mother blowing a snail, whether it was the Five-Direction Spirit-Suppressing Talisman or the magic power restriction in the mirror body, they all collapsed together.

Like the scorching sun melting snow.

In the blink of an eye, the form disappeared.

Inside the nine-aperture pearl body.

Gray smoke rolled, and fire flows burst out from the mountain body from time to time, reaching a hundred zhang high, with a momentum that shook the sky.

Everywhere was rolling heat, burning the void atmosphere to shake, let alone any rivers or streams, even grass and trees, etc., were all non-existent.

Looking at it, the inner scene world in front of him was only a dark red piece, like hot charcoal.

The magma on the ground had flowed for years and months, and had already formed a vast deep lake.

Countless fire evil spirits were swimming and playing in this magma deep lake.

And after seeing the living person break in, after a short silence, these spirits all rioted together, making strange laughing sounds, and flew up in swarms!

For a time.

Everywhere were strange and peculiar forms!

Densely packed, enough to cover the clouds and block the sky!

"..."

Chen Hang tentatively pressed his hand to his lapel, but the Purple Mi Treasure Clothes he was wearing had no response, and the spiritual light was dim.

It seemed that the Sinking Mountain Seal and the Thunder Fire Thunderbolt Pearl, etc., were all the same.

And it was not just the talisman artifacts.

Even when operating the Daoist methods.

He always felt as if there was a barrier, vague and vague, hindering the work...

After being surprised by the mystery of Ding Hepu's supernatural powers, Chen Hang didn't delay, his sword light swung, and he beheaded several fire evil spirits that had rushed to his front on the spot.

And those few spirits, although their bodies were torn apart, did not die, but divided into many smaller spirits, rushing to kill again without fear of death.

Such creations were no longer of the living, I'm afraid they were the manifestation of the fire line within this nine-aperture precious pearl.

Just like the clouds, water, wind, and thunder of the natural world, they were born without life and without extinction, and naturally would not be beheaded.

If one faced this group of fire evil spirits in a proper fight, one would either have to find the central restriction of the nine-aperture precious pearl and break it.

Or directly use thunderous means to behead the master of the nine-aperture precious pearl.

If not.

Unless one was a person with extremely deep magic power.

Otherwise, facing such endless offensives, one would sooner or later be dragged down!

And at this moment.

Chen Hang didn't have time to think too much, just focused on driving the sword light, rushing left and right, cutting and shaving up and down among the groups of fire evil spirits.

Sometimes exerting full strength, attacking rapidly.

Sometimes gathering the killing momentum, dragging and fighting.

But no matter how careful he was.

The number of these fire evils was truly numerous.

And their movements were flexible and changeable, strong and weak, and they were not easy to deal with!

A moment of carelessness, and it was still inevitable to make a mistake, and he was injured by a few fire evil spirits.

Making his blood flow suddenly extremely hot, and the internal organs in his body also hurt faintly; it was thanks to his strong flesh that he suppressed this anomaly.

"..."

And after hurriedly calculating the crux just now.

Chen Hang's eyes were sharp, and he raised his hand to behead the fast-coming spirits into powder.

He raised his sword light again and continued to kill through the air!

Just when the killing sound was fierce in the nine-aperture precious pearl, and Chen Hang was fighting bitterly.

Inside the hall, it was a scene of singing and dancing, and harmony.

The hall was hung with brocade curtains, carved with flying immortals—

Drums and music played together, songs and dances were played, and the singers and dancers were all praised as excellent.

And the various mountain delicacies and jade wine displayed on the table were another wonder.

The Five-Qi Qiankun Ring and the Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo were both seated here, and even the Moon Wheel Mirror was no exception, occupying a seat.

However, compared to the ease of the other two, the Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo had a trace of worry on its face, and several times it raised its cup to speak, but after seeing the scene in the nine-aperture precious pearl, it suppressed it again.

"This object is very good, truly high-grade; I didn't expect you, this Yuanshu Zhenjun, to actually like some food and drink, truly a wonderful person! Better than those so-called romantic figures in the noble clans, even better to play with!"

The Five-Qi Qiankun Ring praised a plate of spiritual clams endlessly, stopped its chopsticks slightly, wiped the oil stains from its mouth on its two sleeves, and praised Ding Hepu on the jade steps:

"I have heard of your teacher; it is rumored that the Yuanshu Zhenjun is very old-fashioned and upright, not smiling, I didn't expect Yuanshu Zhenjun Ding to be so casual, which is also rare."

"I have suffered for most of my life in cultivation, so what's wrong with enjoying it? In my eyes, this eating, drinking, and playing is truly the matter of a carefree immortal!"

Ding Hepu raised his cup slightly, smiled faintly, and laughed happily:

"You don't know, this object was gifted by that place in the East Sea; the old dragons wanted to please Taichu, but instead, it was cheaper for me! This kind of thing is the beauty of the sea, white and clean, bright and smooth, tasting it in the mouth, it is wonderful, and the taste in it is truly not enough to be told to outsiders!

Taking this object, although it has no other use, it cannot prolong life, nor can it strengthen the spirit... but just the true taste in it can be regarded as a treasure medicine!"

Hearing this, the Five-Qi Qiankun Ring's eyes lit up, nodding repeatedly, extremely agreeing.

And seeing Ding Hepu and the Five-Qi Qiankun Ring talking to each other, they actually began to exchange the way of cooking.

Both of them seemed to have gained something.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo finally couldn't bear it anymore, put down its cup, stood up and said:

"Yuanshu Zhenjun is above, the old man is presumptuous, I wonder—"

"Don't worry, it's not the Buqingdu Correct Talisman, but the Southern Dipper Life-Storing Talisman."

The Moon Wheel Mirror glanced at it faintly and suddenly interrupted.

"This old brother hasn't stayed in the noble clan, how can he know the mystery?"

The Five-Qi Qiankun Ring hiccuped, smiled upon hearing this:

"That method of hiding the talisman gall is not a wonderful method, but it is also a secret inheritance of the noble clan's direct lineage; those who don't understand it naturally can't see it at a glance. It seems that not only our old master was deceived, but even this old brother was also hidden from by the Yuanshu Zhenjun!"

Hearing this, the Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo was startled, and then suddenly woke up.

The Buqingdu Correct Talisman and the Southern Dipper Life-Storing Talisman, although both were important talisman treasures.

But in terms of function, they were not on the same path!

The former could only preserve the primordial spirit and keep the soul barely from being lost.

As for the latter, it contained a Nine-Flower True Essence in the talisman gall, and because of this, it was also called the Nine-Flower Great Medicine.

Swallowing this talisman into the abdomen, no matter what kind of heavy injuries one had suffered before, as long as the primordial spirit had not been beaten to pieces, and then someone urged the Nine-Flower True Essence with a secret method, the injuries could be healed instantly and return to the old view.

It could be said that with this talisman, and Ding Hepu watching on the side.

It was hard to say if Chen Hang wanted to die.

The reason for using the method of hiding the talisman gall to cover the Southern Dipper Life-Storing Talisman as the Buqingdu Correct Talisman.

I'm afraid it was also to cut off Chen Hang's distracting thoughts.

Stimulate his will.

And according to the Five-Qi Qiankun Ring, that method of hiding the talisman gall should have been a secret method of the noble clan, but why did this Yuanshu Zhenjun Ding learn it.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo had some doubts about this, but didn't pay much attention, just bowed, feeling truly relieved in his heart, and grateful:

"Yuanshu Zhenjun's great kindness! Yuanshu Zhenjun's great kindness! However, I have one thing I don't understand; the method the Yuanshu Zhenjun taught my master to cultivate the sword sounds quite like the Zhongyi Sword Sect's saying, I wonder which—"

"I made it up... I don't know sword technique, can I teach him?"

Ding Hepu rolled his eyes and said.

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo and the Moon Wheel Mirror were both startled, their faces showing surprise.

Only the Five-Qi Qiankun Ring laughed secretly, thinking it was indeed so!

"I bragged to the sky yesterday, and I couldn't round it up, so I could only use this method to muddle through... I wanted to seek help from fellow disciples, but those who are on good terms with me rarely have any sword immortals, and the only one ran to the Zhengxu Heaven to mess around with the Ji clan's small imperial court."

Ding Hepu sighed, wistfully:

"However, what I said just now was quite decent, it's not difficult to bluff people, and it can be considered as barely preserving my face.

You know this, I know this, but you must not tell Chen Hang; for the sake of this meal, you should save some face for me!"

"..."

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo and others couldn't help but look at each other, feeling very absurd and helpless, but could only bow and agree.

"What if he... didn't cultivate body and sword as one in that inner scene world?"

At this moment.

The Moon Wheel Mirror couldn't help but ask.

"I've said the method, if he can't cultivate it, he can only blame his own roots for being insufficient; what does it have to do with me, an elder?"

Ding Hepu didn't take it seriously:

"Although my method is nonsense, in order to round it up, I generously used a Southern Dipper Life-Storing Talisman! This kind of generous behavior, this Yuanshu Zhenjun hasn't had for many years!"

"..."

The Escape Dun Dun Jiesuo was surprised by Ding Hepu's casualness, actually telling this embarrassing thing truthfully without concealment.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"It seems that this time, he will have to suffer in vain, just don't know when he will be able to come out?"

He said.

"When our master's flesh rots and his essence is exhausted, naturally, he will come out!"

The Five-Qi Qiankun Ring shrugged its shoulders and shook its head:

"With the Southern Dipper Life-Storing Talisman, he won't die anyway, so just treat it as sharpening his sword technique; continue the music, continue the dance!"

So for a time, the banquet started again, and it was another exchange of cups.

Like this.

Until ten days later.

On this day, Ding Hepu suddenly felt something and glanced at the nine-aperture precious pearl.

And after this glance.

His face was a bit strange, and his eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle.

"I just talked nonsense, even this can be done?"

He couldn't help but say in his heart.
