Taoist night sword

Chapter 24: Chapter 24

Magic is a kind of comprehension and application of the laws and phenomena of heaven and earth, fitting them with the body and controlling them with the mind.

That is to say, inspiration suddenly appeared, and there were deep thoughts.

Lou Jinchen thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't grasp it. Fortunately, this feeling seemed to draw a door for him, and took him to step in for a short time.

A series of dense footsteps approached, and a group of arresters quickly entered the ancestral hall, and carried out the three limp and lying on the ground.

He could see the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the three of them, that talisman master seemed to have blood on his face, he must have felt extremely ashamed.

The other two also thought this way, Lou Jinchen thought that the three of them were all very strong, even if he fought them head-on, he would not dare to say that they could easily win, but under Xu Xin's sneak attack, they did not have any The power of resistance, from this we can see the mystery of the spell, those who don't understand it are really hard to guard against.

At this point, it is considered to be over, and the next thing is to be worried about by Deng Butou and the county monarch.

He didn't stay there overnight, but took advantage of the setting sun to head towards the city.

This time, he didn't need someone to guide him. He rode his horse and only walked on the path, from the desolate field to the lush one. The field full of weeds was also planted with crops.

When we came to a fork in the road, there was a big tree like a canopy, with a radius of about [-]. .

Lou Jinchen can be sure that he has not passed by here before, because if there is such a big tree, he cannot forget it.

Since he went the wrong way, he didn't turn around immediately, but walked over to the wooden house under the tree.

In this wilderness, there are avenues on the left and right, and there is another piece of dry land not far away. There are several chairs and small tables under the trees. There is also a teapot on the small table, which is a place for people to rest.

Lou Shichen approached on horseback and saw a little girl squatting on the ground drawing something with stones. Lou Jinchen walked closer and found a booklet on the ground in front of her. Character.

The little girl was sitting on the ground, looking a little dirty. She heard the sound of the horse's hooves, looked up at Lou Jinchen, and shouted to the back room, "Grandpa, someone is riding a horse."

She yelled and continued to write with her head down.

Lou Jinchen got off his horse and let the horse bow his head to eat the grass on the side of the road. He held the sword and came to the little girl to look, only to see that she seriously wrote the word 'Heaven' on the ground.Looking at the book in front of her again, it reads 'Heaven, earth, man, and the universe, the prehistoric cold, the summer, the autumn harvest, the winter collection...'

I looked at the place next to it and found that it was also full of words.

It was probably because Lou Jinchen stood by and looked at her, which made her a little embarrassed to write, so when she looked up at Lou Jinchen for the third time, she said crisply: "There is the tea, drink it!"

"Hmm!" Lou Jinchen then realized that the tea here might be prepared for passers-by.

At this time, a strong and tall old man came out of the wooden house, saw Lou Jinchen and said, "Brother is thirsty, please drink yourself."

For the kindness of others, Lou Jinchen did not say that he was not thirsty at this time, but picked up the vegetable pot and poured out a cup of tea. The tea was light green in color and had a scent.

After drinking it all in one gulp, he asked, "Good tea, why does the old man live here?"

"If you live here, you can serve the third father-in-law nearby, so you can live here." The old man said.

"Third father-in-law?" Lou Jinchen was at a loss, but the old man turned around and took out a stick of incense from a shelf, lit it, and handed it to Lou Jinchen's hand. Amulets for people who want money.

"I'm here to prepare some tea for the passers-by. I hope that the passengers can stop for a while, drink the tea made from the leaves of San Gonggong, offer a stick of incense to them, and say a word of blessing."

When Lou Jinchen heard it, he realized that the tea he drank was the leaves of this tree. He also saw a groove at the root of the tree, and there was a small memorial tablet in it, which read "San Gonggong Longevity". words.

Lou Jinchen's thoughts moved slightly, and he instantly felt a brilliant spiritual light emerge in his eyes. This is a spiritual tree.

Lou Jinchen didn't have any taboos either. It's okay to drink a sip of tea and offer a stick of incense for him. After taking it, he burned incense to this tree and put it in front of the tablet, and then asked: "What is the third father-in-law called?" what?"

"The third father-in-law's body is a silver camphor tree, with a lifespan of more than three hundred years." The old man didn't have much scruples. After Lou Jinchen asked, he was afraid that the old man would be unhappy and offended.

Lou Jinchen raised his head and looked at the silver camphor tree. He couldn't help but ponder for a moment, and said in his mouth: "The pavilion is like a silver camphor tree, standing upright for thousands of years, and respecting the three fathers-in-law when going to and from it. A leaf of green tea can dispel the cold and heat."

After hearing this, the old man was taken aback for a moment, and then said pleasantly, "Young master, can you write down the poem just now?"

Lou Jinchen smiled, no one refused, read and memorized so many poems, wrote one by himself, no matter it was good or not, he always wanted to stay.

The old man ran back to the house vigorously, and took out a bamboo slip and a carving knife. He didn't have any paper, but he was relieved when he thought that the little girl was practicing writing on the ground.

He took the carving knife, and then carved the poem he wrote on the bamboo slip. Although he hadn't practiced handwriting for a long time, his skills were still there. The first time he used the carving knife, he actually wrote something sharp and Sharp, after engraving, handed it to the old man, and said: "I haven't written for a long time, and my hands are a little rusty."

He asked again: "Does my husband know where to go from here to Swimming City?"

"My lord, just follow this road, turn left at the first fork and go onto the main road, and then go west on the main road, you will be able to reach Swimming City." The old man said.

After listening, Lou Jinchen said, "Thank you, old man, and I'll take my leave."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, and got on his horse.

The old man didn't expect Lou Jinchen to leave in such a hurry, he hurriedly shouted: "Master, I haven't asked for my name yet."

Lou Jinchen glanced back and said, "Fire Spirit Temple, Lou Jinchen."

He clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the horse sprang out, galloping through the coming night.

"Grandpa, where is the Fire Spirit Temple?" The little girl asked curiously.

The old man shook his head: "It must be a good place."

"Grandpa, I will also ride a horse and carry a sword in the future." The little girl said.

"Okay, my Ruanruan is the best." The old man said with a smile.

"I still need to write poetry." The little girl continued.

"Okay, okay." The old man took out a hemp rope from the house, passed it through a small hole in the bamboo slip, and then held it on the silver camphor tree. The silver camphor tree rustled in the wind, and seemed to be happy too.

Lou Jinchen returned to the city when the city gate was about to close.

When he entered the city, he saw a person who surprised him. He had seen the gatekeeper. It was the same man he had seen in the mountain temple.

At this time, he was wearing the clothes of a city guard, with a knife still on his waist. Lou Jinchen recognized him, and he obviously recognized Lou Jinchen too. He nodded towards Lou Jinchen, but didn't say anything. what.

Lou Jinchen could tell that he had lost a lot of weight, and his eye circles were a bit dark.

This made Lou Jinchen think of the woman who was taken away by a 'ghost' who left with him.

Are they still together?

Lou Jinchen didn't know, but he could give the other party a way out and a chance.

"I'm at the Fire Spirit Temple, if you need anything, you can come and find me there."

Hearing Lou Jinchen's inexplicable words, the man could only nod his head, and before he answered, Lou Jinchen had already left.

When he was off duty, when he returned home, the lights were on. For some reason, he felt a little fear when he saw the lights on and the quiet home, but it was obvious that he snatched this woman on the way. It's the kind of woman he likes very much, with a ladylike temperament. Although she has a daughter, he doesn't care.

So at that time, the woman said that she wanted to live in this swimming city, and he happily agreed. After so many years in the rivers and lakes, he was already tired of living in the rivers and lakes, and wanted to have a home, so he bought such a house. house, and he himself found several jobs.

At first he worked on the pier, but he couldn’t make much money and was exploited. Later, he simply joined the gang on the pier, but after he joined the gang, even though he had martial arts, he was only regarded as a thug. What’s the matter? Dangerous things are called to do, and in the end they can only quit, and then spend money to become this pawn.

Although he didn't have much money, he also met a lot of people. He was going to find a way to see if he could become a shopkeeper. He believed that with all his years of experience, he could still make a difference, even if it was to investigate some strange things. He also believes that he can see it, especially for people who are possessed by strange things, he believes that his own eyes will be able to see it.

Rubbing his face, he pushed open the courtyard door and said loudly, "Ma'am, I'm back."

The food has been prepared in the room, a girl is sitting there writing, and a woman is sitting beside, watching quietly.

After the man entered the room, she smiled, very standard and gentle. When the man saw this scene, the trace of fear in his heart disappeared instantly, and he said, "Guess who I saw today."

"Who is it?" the woman asked.

"Do you still remember the person we met in that mountain temple?" The man took off the knife on his body and patted his coat with his hands.

The woman was still sitting there, her eyes moved slightly, and she said, "The young man with the sword who killed demons."

"Yeah, he came in through the east gate when it was dark, and recognized me. I nodded to him, and he talked to me," said the man.

"What did you say?" The woman asked, and she remembered that night, when she entered the temple, the young man pretended to be asleep and peeped at her.

"He said he lives in Huolingguan, you can go to him if you need anything, what can I do, haha!" The man smiled, sat on the small table with vegetables, and took a piece of food from the alcove. A bottle of wine, pour a glass, drink it, I just feel that my current life is solid and stable, I have a wife and a daughter, it's great.

The girl who was writing on the bed was lowered, and she was still writing, but at a much slower writing speed. She seemed to be listening carefully.

"Yeah, what a weird person. These people who deal with weirdness are very weird. We'd better stay away from them." The woman said.

"Yes, yes, it's still madam who is knowledgeable, so keep her at a respectful distance." The man grinned, and took a sip of a glass of wine, which entered his throat and turned into an unknown fate.

……

Lou Jinchen spent the night at Deng Ding's house that night, and he told Mrs. Deng all the results of his trip.

In the morning of the next day, when Deng Ding was about to return to the Huoling Temple and told Madam Deng that he was going to visit the Shang Manor, Madam Deng told him that the Shang Mansion had moved to the next county.

Lou Jinchen was extremely surprised that Shang Mansion moved away without telling Shang Guian who was in Huoling Temple, which made Lou Jinchen think about how to tell him on the way back.

In the end, Lou Jinchen decided to tell the truth, and he couldn't hide this matter for a long time.

Looking at Shang Gui'an's sad eyes, Deng Ding felt sad.

Lou Jinchen has no other choice, some things can only be resisted by himself, and when he can't resist, he can only continue to resist.

Three days later, Shang Gui'an decided to practice Dim Sum Dispelling Evil, and asked senior brother Lou Jinchen to help him explain it completely.

Lou Jinchen didn't say anything, he knew that Shang Gui'an couldn't survive, and he needed the fruits of his practice to arm himself.

Lou Jinchen once again explained to him every sentence in the "Dim Sum Transforming Sha Fa".

This point to enlighten the evil spirit in the heart does not need to be calm, but what is needed is a restless heart, strong emotions, and the feeling of the heart jumping out of the chest.

So that night, Shang Gui'an's heart ghost came out, its human-shaped fireworks, weak but agile.

Lou Jinchen was happy for him, but at the same time felt sad for him, because after carefully reading it, he was sure that this was indeed not the righteous law, unless it could be continuously improved in the future.

And there are three ways for this heart ghost to grow, one is to enjoy incense and sacrifices, and the other is to feed on the fire essence between heaven and earth through the heart ghost.

But there is still a hidden danger, that is, there will always be a faint feeling in this heart ghost that he wants to go out independently.

After Shang Gui Anxiu got out of his heart ghost, he went to the room of the priest to watch him some taboos that were not recorded in the book.

Lou Jinchen practiced on his own, collecting and refining the sun and moon, refining and transforming Qi, and then practiced swordsmanship day and night, and he found a pen and paper to write down his practice experience.

And in the process of writing, he thought it would be read by others in the future, so he wrote meticulously. This kind of meticulousness also sorted out his own practice, which gave him a feeling of reviewing the past and learning the new.

He commented on the general content of the Qi Refining Method, and the title of the book is..., Lou Jinchen thought about it and wrote the words "Lou Jinchen's thoughts on the Qi Refining Method", and then wrote three words at the end. One word - Lou Guandao.

As for swordsmanship, after he reorganized with the same, he also had a clearer understanding of his own swordsmanship.

In his mind, his swordsmanship has been out of the ordinary, and the basic concept of his swordsmanship is still useful, but there have also been fundamental changes. The so-called swordsmanship must be accumulated in the sword. If there is no law in the sword, then this one A sword is just a clumsy sword, it can't hurt strange things, and can't kill ghosts and gods.

Lou Jinchen summed up his sword skills.

The dharma is attached to the sword, and the essence fire that senses the sun and the sun is condensed on the sword body, which can kill strange monsters.

But this is not enough, because it is theoretically possible to kill, but in fact, to be able to kill, one needs to be able to lock on the target, and the eyes are no longer enough to lock on. For example, that Xu Xin met that night, his eyes looked When she arrived, she was like a shadow, and the sword passed with the sun's brilliance, but it was lost.

He reflected on himself, before fighting with the great fairy in the mountain, he could use the connection formed by the great fairy's name-calling and soul-hunting, and kill the enemy with sword intent, and he could kill those eyes that were growing in his body like phantom viruses in Matoupo. , why can't it hurt Xu Xin.

He felt that he underestimated her when he did it, and didn't really put her in his heart.

He concluded that the invisible monsters he killed were put into his "heart" first, and the sword came out of the heart, so his sword was able to kill those invisible but far away beings.

Only by putting it in the heart can the Dharma be taught with the mind.

"...In winter, the sword is hidden in the heart, to kill all ghosts and gods, and to see the green mountains."

"This kind of swordsmanship, why not call it the 'Heart Sword Method'. From now on, the eyes and the heart will unite, and when the eyes see it, it will be imprinted into the heart, and then the sword will be released."

And for such a sword, the stronger the sword intent, the stronger it will be.

So I sorted it out again, thinking that I still need to practice sword intent.

Of course, the title of Sword Intent is just a more detailed title of Fa Nian.

If a person practices the fire method, his mind of the method can also be called the fire intent, and if he practices the thunder method, it can also be called the intent of thunder.

Ideas are one.

Write these down carefully.

You must first rectify your mind, then you can rectify your mind, and then you can rectify your law.

　Thanks to the leader of the 'Book Friends' Awards yesterday, I wish you all the best and a fortune.
