Chapter 273 The Appearances of Heaven and Earth Are My Images
Granny Sha and the others did not take much. They took seven caltrops that were more than a person tall, five baskets of caltrops that were the size of a fist, and left the medium-sized ones untouched. They also took some Portuguese guns and their accompanying cluster bombs, twelve rockets, and a number of flints and bowl-shaped guns.

"Zhuge Jian likes this kind of musket. I'll get him a few more."

Situ Wen said, "Coach, I want to take a few of the firearms here for research."

Chen Shi gave him a few wooden boxes he had made and asked him to fill them himself.

Situ Wen was surprised and happy. He loaded some of the general cannons, flints, and various large and small projectiles.

He didn't take much, just three or four of each.

Hu Xiaoliang asked in confusion: "Tian Gong, what do you want these firearms for?"

Situ Wen smiled and said, "Since I am a craftsman in heaven, I cannot rely on others to do my work. Take it apart and study it. Let's build it ourselves."

Hu Xiaoliang was startled, and hurriedly pulled him aside, saying, "Making these things is a capital crime!"

Situ Wen was surprised and asked, "What are we doing now that won't lead to death?"

Hu Xiaoliang looked around. They were in the imperial warehouse and were moving the imperial firearms. Wasn't that a matter punishable by death?

"I have a blacksmith in Luban, and Hongshan Hall has a talisman master. We have a lot of manpower, so we can definitely make it."

Situ Wen said, "Start researching and manufacturing now, so that it won't be too late when you need it in the future."

Hu Xiaoliang blinked his eyes. When should I use it? When should I use it? Why should I use it?
Situ Wen took the wooden box and left excitedly.

Granny Sha and Qingyang also gained something and were very satisfied.

"Xiao Shi, don't you want to take some?" asked Grandma Sha.

Chen Shi shook his head: "Putting it here is no different from putting it at home. Putting it at home takes up space."

Granny Sha asked, "Is Chen Tang treating you well?"

Chen Shi said: "Neither cold nor hot."

Granny Sha said, "If he bullies you, tell me and I'll help you vent your anger. But Old Chen did mistreat him... but it wasn't you who mistreat him, so he can't take it out on you! By the way, are we taking so many firearms to kill all the treacherous officials in the court?"

Qingyang asked excitedly, "Are they throwing caltrops in there while the court is in session?"

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "We are going to capture a reincarnated underworld official named Zhong Kui. I heard that he committed a crime in the underworld and was reincarnated in the Du County area."

He told her about how Chuan's father and daughter and his mother's soul were trapped in the underworld. Granny Sha was surprised and asked, "Your mother's soul went to the underworld and found you?"

Chen Shi said: "That's what the boat girl said."

Granny Sha was silent for a moment, then said, "Before your mother's soul went missing, she went crazy for more than a year, and then lost her soul. I didn't expect that she could find you in the underworld. Chen Tang asked me to summon her soul several times, but I couldn't. I think she had already found you by then, so how could she bear to be separated from you?"

She sighed deeply.

She was an eyewitness to the incident and thought that Chen Shiniang was so grief-stricken that her soul could not bear the pain and left. Now it seems that Chen Shiniang's soul did leave, but the reason she did not come back was because she found Chen Shi and did not want to return to the world of the living where mother and son were separated by life and death.

"Those two ghost messengers are not good people. The ghost messenger they are talking about named Zhong Kui is definitely not easy to deal with."

Granny Sha smiled and said, "But with Granny here, it will be easy."

Chen Shi felt relieved as if he had taken a tranquilizer. He saw everyone off and waited quietly for news from Zhuge Jian.

Du County is far away, and it takes two days to travel back and forth. He was on duty at Guangjiku during the day. When someone was ordered to come and collect military equipment, he asked the deputy envoy to check the procedures, while he devoted himself to practicing.

During the past few days since he came to Xijing, he had not been able to practice cultivation carefully. Now that he finally had some free time, he could quietly practice the Xiaolang Emperor's Art.

The Xiaolang Emperor Chapter technique and the Baji Jinque Divine Chapter have similarities in nature, and seem to be an extension of the Jinque Divine Chapter technique.

The Golden Palace Divine Chapter established the Eight Poles. When activated, the Nascent Soul force field spread out to form a standing space of about half an acre in radius. At the Eight Poles, eight Golden Palace Divine Gates were established. The divine power gathered in the gates to temper the body and Nascent Soul and improve cultivation.

Because you are in a force field, half an acre of land is a big circle, connected with the natural world.

This circulation is many times larger than the one in the human body, so the speed of cultivation is also faster.

The Xiaolang Emperor Chapter skill treats a large circle like the Golden Que Divine Chapter as one Xiao. In the Nascent Soul Realm, one has to cultivate nine Xiaos and nine levels of Zhoutian. Therefore, the speed of cultivation is extremely fast, and the body can be tempered and become more powerful.

The method says that if you cultivate the Dao body externally, it will not decay from ancient times to the present. This means that if you cultivate the Dao body in this method, it will be lifelike after death and will not decay for a long time.

After these days of trials, Chen Shi was already 70% sure that he could practice this skill without any mistakes, so he activated the Xiaolang Emperor Chapter skill.

He still did not dare to slack off, so he took Niangniang Shiji as the first divine fetus, the crazy Fu Shen Tianji as the second divine fetus, and then placed all the ginseng dolls on the third shrine. In this way, with the blessing of the three divine fetuses, even if there were mistakes, there would be enough energy to correct them.

After all, Xiaolang Emperor's Zhang Gong is an immortal-level martial art found in the True King's Tomb. If there is any mistake, it would be extremely scary to go astray, so one must be extra careful.

Chen Shi looked for an empty warehouse in the Guangjiku and practiced this skill. Because of his experience with the Eight Extremes Golden Que, the first level was quickly derived. The second and third levels were not difficult either. When it came to the fourth level, Chen Shi realized that it was a little difficult to maintain the fourth level of circulation.

He persisted until the fifth level, but both his spirit and blood were no longer able to sustain.

He immediately gave up the idea of ​​activating the sixth level of the sky and practiced with the fifth level of the sky.

The "Xiao" in the "Xiaolang Emperor Chapter" refers to the Zhoutian formed by the force field, the Taoist field or the vast void, and "Lang" refers to the beautiful fairyland like jade. As for the Emperor Chapter, they are nine kinds of talismans in the form of chapters.

Chen Shi had never seen these nine kinds of talismans in the talisman treasure book and creation treasure book left by his grandfather.

The shapes of talismans in each level of heaven are different. Based on the content of the exercises, Chen Shi inferred that these nine kinds of imperial talismans represent nine kinds of vital energy that exist in the natural world, that is, the positive energy of heaven and earth.

He stood in the center of the fifth sky, with five kinds of imperial talismans under his feet. The positive energy of heaven and earth came in an endless stream, and after passing through five circles, it fed back into himself, allowing his cultivation to continue to rise.

Practicing for half a day is better than practicing for two or three days.

When it was getting dark, Chen Shi finished his work and returned home with the blame.

He practiced for two consecutive days, and the fifth level of the sky was already about an acre in size. It was ok for him to practice in the warehouse of Guangjiku, after all, the warehouse was big enough, but if he practiced at home, he would definitely not be able to display his skills.

“No wonder the book says that one must seek out a blessed place to cultivate. When one cultivates to the Nascent Soul stage, the Nascent Soul force field is several acres in radius. It is indeed inconvenient to cultivate in the city.”

Chen Shi's heart suddenly moved, "I wonder if I can control the sixth level of the sky now?"

His cultivation has improved extremely rapidly in the past few days. His qi, blood, spirit and body have all been greatly tempered, making him feel that his body is no longer flesh and blood, but a god.

If he could control the sixth level of the sky, I'm afraid his cultivation speed would be even faster!

Chen Shi immediately borrowed the power of Shiji, Tianji and the ginseng grass doll to adjust his own Qi and blood to the most perfect state, sacrificed his Nascent Soul, and activated the sixth level of the sky.

The sixth layer of the sky slowly unfolded, and his energy and blood were rapidly consumed.

The speed of consumption was so fast that he immediately realized that something was wrong, and he immediately stopped his plan to activate the sixth level of the sky!

The nine levels of Xiaolang Emperor's Zhang Gong are larger than the last one. The fifth level is about an acre in size, and the sixth level is definitely more than an acre in radius. The loss to the spirit and blood, and the pressure on the Nascent Soul and the physical body are also greater!
However, when he tried to disperse the sixth sky, he felt his blood flowing back, instantly crushing the fifth sky, the fourth sky, and the third sky!

The layers of Nascent Soul Zhoutian force fields he had set up collapsed rapidly, forming huge waves that rushed into his body!
During the practice, each step has its own unique role, and the role of closing the practice is also extremely important. Closing the practice is to slowly take the refined Qi and blood into the body, store it in the Yuanying and the physical body, so as to achieve the purpose of guiding the fire back to the Yuan.

Xiao Wangsun and others had taught Chen Shi this truth.

Without the fire returning to the origin, the practice is often equivalent to practicing in vain, and the blood and qi from practice are often unable to be stored. Especially after the realm is high, the blood and qi are extremely huge, and the blood and qi contained in the Nascent Soul are even more terrifying. The force field formed can crush everything and melt everything!
If this kind of energy and blood rush into the body at once, the damage it causes can be imagined!

However, Xiaolang Emperor's Chapter Technique is an immortal-level technique with even greater destructive power!
Chen Shi suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately mobilized Shiji, Tianji and Shencao Wawa, using them as divine fetuses to forcibly suppress the surging qi and blood, and introduced the violent qi and blood into the small temple. The qi and blood torrent swirled around Shiji Niangniang and others, lingering and shuttling in the shrine like huge dragons.

The air in the small temple was violently agitated, as if it could not withstand the impact of this violent energy and blood.

However, the three divine fetuses, Shiji, Tianji and Shencaowawa, were equivalent to three primordial spirits, and they quickly helped him calm his raging blood.

Chen Shi guided the fire back to his origin, and Qi and blood continuously flowed into his Nascent Soul and physical body.

He opened his eyes and let out a breath.

"The divine fetus is too important for cultivation."

Chen Shi stood up, lit a few sticks of incense for Shiji, Tianji and Shencao Wawa, and whispered, "Without the divine fetus to regulate the qi, one, the speed of cultivation will be slow, and two, when you go astray, it will be difficult to save yourself."

The divine fetus is equivalent to the primordial spirit, and it is the primordial spirit bestowed by the true God, which helps the cultivator to regulate his qi and practice, and reduce many dangers.

Therefore, the better the divine fetus, the faster the cultivation speed and the fewer dangers one will encounter during practice!

"I don't know how my grandfather solved these two problems."

Chen Shi suddenly remembered that his grandfather's divine fetus was the weakest divine fetus, and his cultivation speed was slower than others. If he cultivated to a high level and went astray, he would either die or be injured. But his grandfather was an extremely powerful person, the Xijing Butcher. How did he cultivate?

At this moment, his heart moved slightly, and his consciousness entered the temple and came to the outside of the small temple.

He looked at the couplet in front of the temple gate.

"The images of heaven and earth are all my images. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on gods or ghosts."

Chen Shi murmured softly, "What on earth does Shitou's godmother want to tell me..."

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he left the small temple.

He sacrificed his Nascent Soul, which floated in front of the small temple.

The temple was illuminated by divine light, and his Nascent Soul had already arrived in the small temple.

"Empress, please come down and go to the other shrine." Chen Shi's Nascent Soul looked up and said.

Niangniang Shiji leaned over to take a look, and seeing that it was his Nascent Soul, although she was somewhat reluctant, she still jumped down from the shrine, shaking the small temple.

She came to another shrine, took the Fu Shen Tianji down from the shrine, and shouted, "Go sit on another shrine for me!"

Fu Shen Tianji glared at Shiji Niangniang, and Fu Shen Tianji walked towards another shrine. The ginseng doll had already run down the shrine and was rooting in the field outside the temple.

Chen Shi's Nascent Soul flew up, landed in the central shrine, and sat cross-legged.

"The images of the heavens and the earth are all my images. It is better to pray to myself than to pray to gods or ghosts. Is Godmother saying that I have always been wrong to regard other gods as my divine fetus? The gods of the heavens and the earth are all gods produced by the reflection of my mind, so it is better to pray to myself than to pray to ghosts or gods!"

He once again activated the Xiaolang Emperor's power, and layer after layer of Xiao unfolded one after another.

Originally, when he practiced, he sat on the ground, with his Nascent Soul sitting in the sea of ​​fire in his Dantian, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

At that time, the layers of Xiaolang Emperor's power were spread out on the ground.

And now his Nascent Soul was sitting in the shrine. Chen Shi activated this technique again. Layer upon layer of skies appeared behind his head, spreading out to the sky. Each layer of skies was bigger than the last. They spread out to the sky one after another without overlapping.

Arriving at the fifth heaven, it is about acres in radius.

Chen Shi only felt that his Nascent Soul still had some energy left after regulating his spirit, Qi and blood, so he immediately went with the flow and activated the Sixth Heaven.

The sixth layer of the sky also opened up by itself, and there was no longer the dangerous and sluggish feeling as before!

The sixth heaven is about one acre and six or seven tenths!

In the center of the six layers of sky, there are different imperial talismans, bursting with divine light, shining on the small temple behind Chen Shi’s head and on his body, constantly tempering his Nascent Soul and physical body!

With the blessing of the Six-Layer Emperor Talisman, his cultivation speed increased greatly, and he realized what an indestructible body was!
"This is the real immortal-level technique! Wonderful, really wonderful!"

Chen Shi was ecstatic.

He had never been able to comprehend what his godmother said, until he thought about his grandfather's path of cultivation, he finally understood what this meant!
He practiced for a long time, and when he woke up, his Nascent Soul was about a foot in size, snow-white all over, and his eyes opened. Divine light flashed in his eyes, and he flew into the sky and hid underground at an incredible speed.

Chen Shi was overjoyed. After practicing to this point, he had already achieved the Nascent Soul stage!
To continue practicing, you only need to merge the soul and the primordial infant, the so-called refining the fetus and returning to the original state, where the fetus refers to the baby and the primordial infant.

By combining the cultivator's soul with the primordial infant and refining the fetus back to its original state, one can then transform into a spirit, hence the name "Transformation to Spirit".

Chen Shi sat down and drew out his soul. The sky gate above his head opened, and he saw his soul stand up from his body and walk out of his physical body.

This soul was the same height as Chen Shi, and its body emitted white light, making the whole place look white.

Chen Shi knocked on it and it made a clanging sound, as if it had substance and was extremely solid.

“Is this my soul?”

He was stunned and knocked hard on his own soul, which made a sound like a huge bell and made his arms numb.

"Maybe I ate a little too much Soul-Resurrection Lotus."

Chen Shi reflected on himself, and then he became a little worried. His soul had eaten too many soul-resurrecting lotuses, and had been refined by the underworld elixir into a solid iron lump. How could he merge with his Nascent Soul and return to his original state?

"Others only said that the Nascent Soul can be transformed into a spirit when it is cultivated to a height of about a foot, but they did not say that the Nascent Soul cannot be cultivated to the same height as the body."

Chen Shifu was so happy that he smiled and said, "If I refine my Nascent Soul to be the same size as me, won't it be able to merge with my soul and spirit?"

As soon as he solved a problem, he took back his soul, left Guangjiku and returned to Xijing.

It was already afternoon and it was getting dark. People outside the city were walking into the city in an endless stream.

At this moment, the crowd became noisy and countless voices were shouting.

"Son!"

"The young master has arrived in Xijing!"

Chen Shi's heart was slightly shaken, and he turned to look at the city gate, only to see countless people rushing towards the gate, while outside the city the sunset filled the sky, turning it red.
