Fighter of the Destiny

If after lighting up the destiny star that night, Chen Changsheng directly started the process of directing starlight into the body to cleanse the marrow, the girl in the Herb Garden across the wall from the National Education Academy might be able to rely on her talent to follow the unbroken feelings and discover him. The presence. If the sweat on the floor hadn't strangely melted in the wind, seeping into the floor and never being seen again, she might have been able to spot him.

The problem is that at this time, Chen Changsheng once again showed a very different temperament or idea from ordinary people. He resisted the temptation to wash his marrow without hesitation and went directly back to the small building to take a bath and sleep. However, there was no trace of sweat stains on the floor.

The next day, Chen Changsheng read "The Theory of Marrow Cleansing" carefully again, especially the last part about using starlight to cleanse the marrow, and took a lot of notes. After confirming that he had fully mastered the contents, he went to the grassland by the lake to squint and rest. Waiting until the setting sun set under the city wall and night came, he confirmed that his physical and mental conditions were in very good condition before opening the door of the library. , the marrow cleansing officially started.

His consciousness spread into the air, without passing through the roof of the library and going up to the night sky, but he knew that he had established an inscrutable connection with the distant red star. This feeling was not real. , to be more precise, the connection between him and the star did not leave any perception in his body or spiritual world, but he was very convinced that the star was there and no one could take it away.

Just like the Pope said back then: That thread really exists.

Chen Changsheng closed his eyes, calmed his mind, opened his soul, and followed the method in "The Theory of Marrow Cleansing" to let himself enter a state of absolute relaxation where he forgets both things and himself, and quietly waited for the essence condensed by the starlight to flow along the The root thread came to him.

Time passes gradually, and the night wind is sometimes gentle and sometimes condensed.

The woods outside the library were quiet. Yesterday, the woods were repaired by the workers of the religious center. Many redundant branches were cut off. The stubble of the broken branches was exposed in the air, exuding the unique fragrance of the trees. Sent far away by the night wind.

The reason why the woody fragrance exuding from the stubble of those broken branches is so strong is because there is an almost transparent glue seeping out from there, which is tree sap. There are many types of trees in the National Education College, and fruit trees are naturally indispensable. The smell is very good.

There is a very thick locust tree. The thick branches close to the ground have been cut off. One of them looks like a scar. There is a lot of gum condensed on it. When the night wind blows, it slowly flows along the trunk to the ground. . If those who are fond of killing look at this scene, they will think that the arm of the locust tree has been cut off and is bleeding, but in fact, under the silver starlight, the flowing sap is more like sweet molasses.

After a long time, the honey-like sap finally fell to the ground and landed on a clump of grass. If you were not lucky or cruel to turn an insect into its original form of amber, then it would eventually become Food for those insects.

A similar scene also happened in the library.

The radiance emitted by countless stars fell on the invisible and undetectable line, was condensed into a slightly thick essence, and then slowly flowed down to the ground along the line, covering an unknown distance, ignoring the roof of the library. , and finally fell on Chen Changsheng.

The starlight was soft and smooth, and the skin on Chen Changsheng's face seemed to have turned into jade. However, the next moment, the starlight seeped in like sand and wind passing through his fingers, and could no longer be seen. His face remained the same as before, without any change.

There were many starlights falling on him. Those starlights seemed to be able to ignore any obstacles and easily penetrated his clothes and fell on the surface of his body. However, they still failed to stay. They penetrated deep into the body and disappeared. Where.

Chen Changsheng closed his eyes and did not see these scenes and did not know what happened.

He didn't wake up until every morning light fell in Kyoto and a rooster began to crow.

He was a little excited. He had rarely been so excited in fourteen years. Because if the marrow cleansing is successful, then he will embark on the path of spiritual practice. Regardless of whether he can get the first place in the imperial examination, he will have some say in his own destiny.

This kind of emotion is not good for the body, he said silently to himself, using willpower completely inappropriate for his age, he calmed down in a very short period of time, and then looked at his hands, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes were full of confusion and dissatisfaction. untie.

His hands remained unchanged, as clean as last night.

He took out a small round mirror from his arms and looked at his face in the mirror. After a moment of silence, he put down the small round mirror, pulled up his collar and looked at his body. He found that nothing had changed, it was as clean as it had been in the past few years. .

Marrow cleansing is successful, it shouldn't be like this.

According to the "Marrow Cleansing Theory", when human beings survive in the world, eat, breathe, and absorb nutrients, they also bring all the filthy air from heaven and earth into their bodies, so they have to introduce starlight into their bodies. , with the help of the purest and gentlest power of the stars, drive all those things out of the body.

According to previous generations, after successful marrow cleansing, people's bodies will excrete a large amount of fishy sweat, and may even suffer from severe diarrhea. Only in this way can the dirty air in the body be excreted.

However, Chen Changsheng's body did not change at all.

He is a person with slight mysophobia, and he loves to be clean, but at this moment, he really wants to see those stinky black mud appear on his body, because this matter has nothing to do with cleanliness, and it shouldn't be the case no matter how he looks at it. Now like this.

Chen Changsheng looked at the rising sun outside the window and was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, he put the back of his hand on the floor and rubbed it hard twice. When he felt real pain, he raised his hand and saw a large red mark on the back of his hand, and bloodshot eyes could still be seen faintly, so he knew, Cleaning my own marrow was indeed unsuccessful.

When starlight comes, the first thing it touches is the skin, so when the marrow cleansing begins, it is the skin that is strengthened.

His skin was unchanged from last night.

Chen Changsheng remained silent. He originally thought that the interruption of his meridians would only lead to the loss of the soul, making it difficult to convert the starlight into true energy to stay in the body in the future. However, he thought that he could at least complete the marrow cleansing step, but he didn't expect that it still wouldn't work. .

As the morning light grew brighter, he stood up and walked outside the library. Because he had sat cross-legged all night, his body was a little sore and his walking was a little slow. Looking from behind, he looked like a child recovering from a serious illness.

Walking back to the small building, he looked at the steaming kettle on the stove, and he felt a little sad - according to the records in "The Treatise on Marrow Cleansing", he thought he would be filthy when he came back, so he prepared hot water in advance. I can imagine that I didn't even shed a drop of sweat.

He thought for a while and finally decided to take a shower.

Not because of sitting on the floor all night, or because there was still some dust in the academy.

He has a physical problem that makes him dislike his body very much. He always feels that his body is dirty.

He washes very frequently, loves to be clean, and has a slight mysophobia, which is actually all because of this.

He poured the hot water into the big bucket in the corner, walked in, covered his face with a wet towel, and leaned back against the edge of the bucket with open arms, feeling so tired.

An inaudible sigh came from under the wet towel.

Just then.

On the other side of the courtyard wall, there was also a faint sigh.

Chen Changsheng thought to himself, it turns out that sad people are everywhere.

…

…

No one knew that Chen Changsheng was trying to cleanse his marrow, not even those who saw him lighting up his life star. Because marrow cleansing is a more common thing than fixing stars. Whether it is a powerful person in the marrow cleansing realm or even the star gathering realm, as long as he is practicing, he needs to do this thing night after night, and he has the ability to see the fate star being fixed. The person who lights it cannot see the thread, and naturally does not know whose hand is holding the other end of the thread.

There is no limit to human self-aggrandizement.

Marrow cleansing never happens in a day.

At night, Chen Changsheng walked into the library again, sat on the floor and continued to try.

It took a fourteen-year-old boy too little time to cheer up again from his frustration. This is all thanks to the things he has experienced and will experience, of course he should resent those things.

He had no time to be frustrated, he could only keep trying and working hard.

If you don't succeed, you will succeed. These six words are most suitable for him.

Meditating quietly, countless thick but invisible starlight essences flowed from the high night sky along the invisible line of destiny, and fell on him again, lingering like a spring breeze.

Those starlight seeped into his body quietly like last night, and then could no longer be seen.

This process lasted for a long time, and he didn't wake up again until it was getting dark.

He looked at his hands and found no changes. He touched his forehead with his hands and found not a drop of sweat. The old clothes on his body were still so dry. The morning breeze came from the window and he could easily flutter his sleeves. .

He didn't understand that even if the body's meridians were cut off and the skin and hair were exposed to the starlight, there should still be some changes.

Where did those stars go?

He thought that the stars had dispersed into the sky and became invisible.

He didn't know that when he closed his eyes and meditated, those starlight passed through his black hair and his hands, passed through the old clothes and the short sword at his waist, and entered quietly. Not a single bit of it was lost from his body.

Like flakes of snow falling through the wind and trees to the ground.

Not a leaf can catch a piece of snow, which is very difficult to happen.

But it really happened.

Now it seems that this forest is still lush and green, without any white.

In fact?

The snow was already thickening on the ground beneath the trees.

This is thick accumulation.

One day, my hair will be thin.

Or, an outbreak.

I’m really tired. Today is just one chapter, and I’ve spent 7,000 words on it... hahahaha.
