Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 12: Two Stars in One Palace, a Life and Death
When Tang Zheng returned to the courtyard, his stomach was already growling with hunger.
When I went back, I saw that the lights in the yard had been turned on, and Tang Xiaotang was waiting in the yard with a lunch box.
Tang Xiaotang still had her hair in a high ponytail, and she would occasionally touch her hair with her fingers. Her movements were not very ladylike, and even had a kind of gangster-like air that shouldn't belong to a girl of this age.
"Master Tang." But her attitude towards Tang Zheng was still that of respect for a scholar.
"Hey, Xiaotang." Tang Zheng replied.
A girl who grew up in a chaotic place like Wulong Town, although she has a little more bandit spirit, is also less spoiled. At least, Tang Xiaotang brings Tang Zheng's dinner every day and she cleans the room, of course, except for the bedroom which Tang Zheng insisted on cleaning himself.
Although Tang Xiaotang might not know the extravagant Flower King, it was never a good idea to keep flowers from their mortal enemy, Hidden Blue Villa, in Tangjiabao.
Usually Tang Xiaotang would just deliver dinner and leave, but today she had something to say, so she stayed.
While Tang Zheng was eating, Tang Xiaotang started talking: "Most of the brothers and sisters have returned. Dad has invited the best opera troupe in Wulong Town. We will hold a teacher-welcoming banquet for you tomorrow night. You can also get to know everyone in our Tangjiabao!"
"Okay." Tang Zheng nodded vaguely while eating his dinner.
"Hehe, that's right." Tang Xiaotang suddenly covered her mouth with interest, as if sharing some little secret, and asked in a low voice: "How are you doing with learning the Star Attraction Style?"
"It's okay. I just gathered the first ray of star power today." Tang Zheng didn't think it was a secret and chatted with Tang Xiaotang normally.
"Is this true..." Tang Xiaotang stood up suddenly, "Have you ever learned the Star Attraction Style before?"
"No." Tang Zheng shook his head. He was in another time and space two weeks ago. Where could he learn the Star Attraction Style?
"Then how could you complete the ninth level of star tide and generate the first ray of star power so quickly!" Tang Xiaotang didn't believe that this was his first time learning, "You... you've only been practicing for a few days!"
"Am I really awesome then?" Tang Zheng had a smile on his face that said "Come and worship me".
Originally, Tang Xiaotang really admired him a little, but when she saw his smile, all her positive emotions instantly turned into the urge to hit him in the face.
Of course, out of respect for teachers, Tang Xiaotang did not do so.
But she would not let Tang Zheng get too complacent, and said in a stern tone: "Actually, it's okay! Sister Fenghua is much better than you!"
"Fenghua?" Tang Zheng paused for a moment, "Meng Fenghua?"
"Hey, do you know her?" Tang Xiaotang asked.
"Well, I guess we know each other. She teaches those kids in the elementary martial arts training ground, and we've met a few times."
"No wonder you were able to learn the Star Attracting Style so quickly. It turns out that you got guidance from Sister Fenghua!" Tang Xiaotang automatically imagined the reason why Tang Zheng generated the first ray of star power so quickly. "Sister Fenghua's proficiency in the Star Attracting Style is so high that she would rank among the top three in Wuqing Mountain and Longding Mountain, let alone Wulong Town."
"Oh?" Tang Zheng did not explain that he and Meng Fenghua had just met today and had a fight as soon as they met. "Her Star Attraction is very good? Why?"
"Because..." Tang Xiaotang's eyes flickered slightly, "This is a long story."
"Take your time to talk. I have nothing to do tonight anyway." Tang Zheng finished his meal and said while wiping his mouth with a smile.
"Damn it!" Tang Xiaotang slapped him with her paw, "Don't you even ask me if I have anything to do tonight?"
…
In fact, Tang Xiaotang had something to do tonight.
At the age of fifteen, in Tang Zheng’s world, one is still in his middle school years, but in this world, especially in a place like Wulong Town, a fifteen-year-old has to take on a lot of work for the family.
Not to mention the distant future, just take tomorrow’s teacher’s welcoming banquet, dishes, seating, dancers, etc., most of the work is on her, and she still has a lot of things to do.
However, she stayed without saying a word - even though doing so might keep her busy until midnight.
"Sister Fenghua is a true genius." Tang Xiaotang sighed as she spoke.
Such a girl with flying eyebrows and eyes, who is always like a flame, would make God feel sorry for her if she sighed.
"Sister Fenghua is the direct descendant of the Xuantian Yinyue Sect. She possesses a very rare and powerful constellation - the Nine-Sky Mysterious Lady. A powerful constellation can naturally light up a fate palace. However, in Sister Fenghua's first fate palace, there is the evil star Tan Lang!" Tang Xiaotang spoke slowly and was not in a hurry.
"Um……"
"In the natural life palace, there are usually very peaceful main stars, and it is rare to see evil stars. Once an evil star is born, this person will be considered to bring disaster. When he grows up, he may kill his parents at the least, or bring disaster to the country and the people at the worst... Because she heard all kinds of gossip in the sect since she was a child, when she was thirteen years old and could have lit up the second life palace, she re-learned the "Star Attraction Style" and gave up the advancement to become the youngest two-star warrior in the Xuantian Yinyue Sect. She did something that shocked the entire clan!" Tang Xiaotang's expression became more complicated when she mentioned this, "She also attracted the Purple Star into the first life palace and firmly suppressed the Tanlang evil star!"
"..." Tang Zheng had just finished reading the first book of "Star Attraction Method" - "Astrological Patterns" and had no idea that two main stars could be introduced into one fate palace.
However, even if this could be done, it would be no different from seeking death.
As expected, Tang Xiaotang continued, "Ziwei Star is the Emperor Star, and it is also the star with the lowest success rate among the fourteen main stars! What's more, Sister Fenghua tried to use two stars in one palace. The destructive power generated by the two stars wrestling in the same palace is almost equivalent to half a star explosion. Sister Fenghua almost died because of it!"
"But, she still survived." Tang Zheng was impressed by the girl's toughness . "But why did she come to Wulong Town?"
"Because her sister Xiao Lingling was born, and she was also born with the evil star of Tan Lang!"
There is no need for Tang Xiaotang to explain what happened afterwards.
Looking at Meng Fenghua's current protective attitude, you can tell that she would not let Xiao Lingling endure those cold stares, let alone let her make a life-threatening .
Therefore, Wulong Town is the most suitable place for them!
In such a chaotic place with all kinds of people, who would care whether the sisters were born with an unlucky star in their fate?
"Tomorrow, Sister Fenghua will also bring Xiao Lingling." Tang Xiaotang cleaned up the dishes and stood up, "Okay, I should go now."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Tang Zheng saw her out.
…
Tang Zheng always goes to bed late. After Tang Xiaotang left, he poured some water on the bottle and opened the small box of "Star Attraction" again.
The first book of "Astrological Patterns" has basically been learned, and he has already generated the first trace of star power. Now all he needs is to get a little bit of pattern ink, and then he will have completed the entire practice of "Astrological Patterns".
So, he opened the second book "The Flow of Star Veins" in the small bookcase.
Unlike "Astrological Patterns" which only has a dozen pages, this book is much thicker. The first page talks about a key problem that Tang Zheng encountered when he was fighting with Meng Fenghua today - the star power could not flow to various parts of the body at will.
If his star power had quickly flowed from his feet to his left hand at that time, then he would have been able to knock Meng Fenghua down in the first fight!
Of course, he was experienced in combat, and when the star power slowly flowed to his knees, he could also find a way to attack and achieve a similar effect, but in fact, his latter attack was much more dangerous than a direct knockdown attack.
What happened in Fengmen Village has made Tang Zheng realize clearly and directly that this is not a game, but a real world, so it is very important to protect his own life and safety.
"For star veins to flow, they must first condense and then disperse. Oh... I can't just circulate the star power like this..." Tang Zheng looked at the easy-to-understand pictures and soon realized where his problem lay.
To put it simply, the formed star power is no longer the kind of flowing water, but is much thicker than before. The star veins in the human body vary in thickness, so if you call upon them directly, it will be very slow.
However, if the control is sufficient, when passing through each place, first knead the star power into shapes of varying thicknesses like kneading plasticine, and it will flow very quickly.
Therefore, his next step is not only to continue to use star power to impact the star veins and body to generate more star power, but also to practice controlling the star power.
Now it seems that he is neither a genius nor a loser, so he can only rely on the same perseverance as he did before to level up, and there is no shortcut.
When he finished reading "The Flow of Star Veins" and put the book down to prepare for bed, he remembered that he was so busy listening to Meng Fenghua's story that he seemed to have forgotten to ask Tang Xiaotang a very important question.
Now that he has generated the first ray of star power, he should be able to perform "texture seeing", right?
So, where should he find some "ink" to confirm whether he has a star sign? And what kind of star sign is it?
Tang Xiaotang, who had just left Tang Zheng's courtyard, suddenly remembered that she had also forgotten to say something very important.
The children of Tangjiabao who have returned one after another in recent days are still a little skeptical about Tang Zheng replacing Tian Meng as the teacher.
Many people said that maybe Tang Zheng killed Tian Meng, stole the token, forged the letter, and sneaked in instead?
They are making a living in a chaotic place like Wulong Town, so it’s always a good idea to be careful!
