Chapter 83 Lighting the Seven Star Lamp

"Seven Stars to Extend Life?"

Hu Zi was startled at first after hearing what I said, then he shook his head and said, "Why does this name sound familiar to me?"

"I seem to have heard of it too." Widow Wang also looked surprised.

I smiled and said, "Of course you are familiar with it. Have you read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

In fact, it was not only them. I was also stunned for a moment after seeing the secret technique of Seven Stars to Extend Life.

Because I never thought that the secret technique of Seven Stars to Extend Life actually existed.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Hu Zi was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "I remember, there is such a passage in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which said that Zhuge Liang lit the life-saving lamp in Wuzhangyuan to save his life. He seemed to have said something, but what was it?"

"If the main lamp is not extinguished within seven days, my life can be extended by a century." I said lightly.

"Yes." Hu Zi laughed at the time and said, "A century is twelve years, Qian Yu, is what Zhuge Liang said true? If the main lamp is not extinguished within seven days, it can really extend my life by twelve years?" "

Yes." I nodded.

In ancient times, there were two people who lit the Seven Star Life-Extending Lamp. Zhuge Liang was one of them. However, he did not succeed because when he was performing the Seven Star Life-Extending Secret Technique, Wei Yan suddenly entered the military tent, causing the main lamp to go out.

Once the main lamp went out, all Zhuge Liang's preparations were in vain. Not only did he fail to achieve the effect of extending his life, but he also lost his vitality and died of illness later.

But after Zhuge Liang, another person performed the Seven Star Life-Extending Secret Technique, and this person was Liu Bowen.

He successfully completed all the steps of the Seven Star Life-Extending Secret Technique and added twelve years to his life. Of course, this does not mean that Liu Bowen is better

than Zhuge Liang. Both of them are famous figures in history. They are not only proficient in astronomy and geography, but also in military strategy and statecraft. They are both rare talents. It can only be said that Liu Bowen is luckier than Zhuge Liang. However, these are all recorded in unofficial history, and some have even been passed down. Whether they are true or not remains to be verified. Now that this secret technique has been recorded in the Corpse Clothing Sutra, it is enough to show that this secret technique called Seven Stars to Extend Life really exists. "Qian Yu, will this... work?" Hu Zi looked doubtful and said, "Only TV dramas dare to act like this, can this really bring my grandma back to life?" I smiled when I heard it, "Grandma is not dead, she is now just in a state of suspended animation, her soul has not left her body, but because of the death of her physical body, it cannot be reunited with the physical body, don't worry, this book on corpse clothing was written by Liu Bowen. You may know this name, but you don't know how powerful he is, but to me, Liu Bowen's name is well-known. Let's put it this way, if Liu Bowen dares to call himself the second best in Feng Shui, then I'm afraid no one dares to call themselves the best in Feng Shui, oh, except for the Qin Emperor's Master Guiguzi, these two are both geniuses!" "So awesome?" Hu Zi touched his chin: "Then why did he die?" I laughed when I heard it: "In a person's life, fortune and longevity are determined by heaven. God has determined how long you can live, and you can only live that long. No matter how awesome a person is, he cannot go against the will of heaven. There is a saying that goes, if King Yan wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, don't even think about living until five o'clock." "But, couldn't Liu Bowen just keep extending his life?" Widow Wang was also curious. But I shook my head: "Liu Bowen's situation is different from that of Grandma Hu Zi. Grandma Hu Zi's life span was not over yet, but she was killed by the yellow-skinned man. As for Liu Bowen, his life span had already ended. He extended his life once, which was already stealing the destiny. God did not send down heavenly punishment, which was already a blind eye. But if you want to steal again, then I can guarantee that not only will Liu Bowen not succeed, but he will die a miserable death. When he enters the underworld, he will even be convicted and imprisoned in the eighteen layers of hell to be punished." "So that's how it is." Widow Wang blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes, looked at me with a smile and said, "That's good, Grandma Hu Zi is finally okay, Hu Zi, you can rest assured too." "Yeah." Hu Zi nodded, but I said, "Don't be too happy too soon. The main light of the Seven Star Life-Extending Lamp needs to be burning for seven days. It cannot be extinguished within seven days. If it is extinguished, then... all the efforts will be in vain." "Don't worry, I will always be watching and will never let the main light go out." Hu Zi said solemnly. "Sister Wang, help me put all the candles into the wine bottle." As I said, I picked up a candle and put it into the wine bottle. Seeing this, Hu Zi and Widow Wang followed suit and started to work. Due to time constraints, I no longer have time to make forty-nine Seven Star Life-Extending Lamp, so I can only make a simple version, which is to use wine bottles instead. After all the candles were put in, Hu Zi and I took out the bed in the bedroom and cleared out all the clutter. After laying a layer of bedding on the ground, Hu Zi placed grandma on the bedding. "Qian Yu, what should we do next?" Hu Zi looked at me and asked. I took a deep breath and said, "You two should leave first. I'm going to set up the Seven Stars Formation." The so-called Seven Stars Life-Sustaining Lamp is to divide the forty-nine lamps into seven groups, each group of seven seven-star lamps, and these seven lamps must be placed in the order and position of the Seven Stars of Beidou. Each lamp represents one of the Seven Stars of Beidou. And the main lamp is the Ziwei Emperor Star! After all the seven groups of seven-star life-extending lanterns were placed, I asked Widow Wang to find some colored paper. After cutting them, Hu Zi and I found some willow branches and made a lantern. Then, I took out a brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and carved a Beidou seven-star formation on the lantern. After more than an hour of hard work, it was finally ready. I let out a long breath of foul air, and then said to Hu Zi: "Hu Zi, this seven-star lamp is the main lamp of the seven-star life-extending lamp. You take it and sit on the top of grandma's head. Remember, no matter what you see or hear, don't be afraid. All you need to do is to ensure that the main lamp does not go out. The rest is left to me." "Don't worry, even if I die, I will not let the main lamp go out." Hu Zi nodded solemnly, then stepped over the wine bottle on the ground and sat cross-legged on the top of grandma's head. "Sister Wang, you go out first." I turned around and said to Widow Wang. Widow Wang nodded and slowly left the bedroom. I closed the bedroom door, glanced at Hu Zi, and said, "I'm going to start."

"Qian Yu, just go for it. Don't worry, even if you fail in the end, I won't blame anyone. I, Zhao Huzi, understand this." Huzi grinned at me.

I didn't say much, just took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

The next moment, I raised my hands, pinched my sword fingers, and chanted in my mouth: "Beidou prolongs life, Huizhen Four Spirits, Liuhui reflects, Langda Xuanming, Qiyuan Chronicles, listed in Ziqiong, Seven Star Life Lanterns, protect your body and prolong your life!"

After saying the four words of protecting your body and prolonging your life, I suddenly opened my eyes, and then pointed my sword fingers at the Seven Star Main Lantern in Hu Zi's hand, and shouted: "Burn!"

As my shout fell, I heard a "whoosh" sound, and the Seven Star Main Lantern in Hu Zi's hand was suddenly ignited.

And almost at the moment when the Seven Star Main Lantern was ignited, the rest of the Seven Star Life Lanterns also "whoosh" and quickly burned up.

In an instant, all 7749 seven-star life lamps plus one seven-star main lamp were lit, and the bedroom, which was originally pitch black, was instantly illuminated!
