The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 689
The southeast corner of Fujian.

There are islands close to the land, and the main island is called Butterfly Island because the shape of the main island resembles a butterfly dancing.

There are seven crescent-shaped bays in the east of Butterfly Island, connected end to end, stretching for more than [-] miles.

The white sandy beach is backed by the verdant forest belt, surrounded by clear waters, no reefs, no sharks, especially suitable for mooring boats.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, the people on Butterfly Island live next to these natural harbors and make a living by fishing.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the young and strong who have been out to sea for more than a month have set sail and returned, and will bring back the autumn harvest.

But recently, those elderly people who are no longer flexible in their hands and feet and have difficulty going out to sea for a living often bring their young children to play by the bay.

One is to let these future sea children have close relatives with the sea, and feel the vastness of the sea and the surging waves.

Second, it is here that we are looking forward to the safe return of our parents, brothers and sisters who have been separated for many days from the sea.

The afternoon of the eighth day of August.

It's just a very ordinary day for children playing on the beach and old people chatting.

But for Jiang Yichen, Smiling Maitreya, Sanrenju and his group, it was actually the first time in their lives to watch the sea and waves here.

Since that night on the bank of the stream, the Smiling Maitreya and Shadow Buddha have become "followers" after helping the Sanrenju people out of the danger of being besieged and killed.

Of course, it is a "follower" who just follows and does not obey orders.

In three days, Bing Yi and others smashed two dens where Dongying Anzi was hiding, and killed more than fifty Dongying people, without any further achievements.

Naturally, there is no need for Smiley Maitreya and Shadow Buddha to do these petty fights.

Moreover, after Jiang Yichen took off the skin of "Little Shadow", it was difficult to continue to hide his clumsiness. The team's combat power has been improved to a large level. It is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables to deal with these chickens and dogs.

This time, everyone was not polite to the imperial court, and the local officials cut off the number of heads of the thieves in exchange for a bounty. This is compared to the expenditure. The local officials will report to the imperial court in a unified manner, and then the imperial court will review and release the money to the local government.

With a lot of income, Bing Yi and others can be said to be extravagant when they spend money.

First of all, Ben and Li and the smiling Maitreya settled the cost of room and board between the country inn that night, and also reversed the cost of room and board for the other party to follow along the way.

Then, besides eating and drinking, paying half a percent of the actual price of silver taels to pretend to be arrogant, there is a lot of money to come back!
After confirming that there is almost no hidden power in Dongying in the southeast of Fujian, Bingyi made Maluan Bay the last stop of this trip, so that everyone can relax and then set off on the way back.

The sea breeze is not great.

However, layers of waves were blown, waves waved, and huge waves were shot on the coast again and again, leaving pieces of white foam like snowflakes on the beach.

At some point, the five women, including Leng Mei, had taken off their shoes, stepped barefoot on the soft sand and played with the children.

Bing Yi and Meng Fang took their hands as pillows, lay down on the beach with their eyes closed, let themselves go, and enjoyed the warm autumn sun and the warm sea breeze.

Jiang Yichen stood on the reef on the coast with smiling Maitreya and Shadow Buddha, facing the sea, silently looking into the distance.

During the ebb and flow of the tide, the waves roared, and there were occasional waves crashing on the shore.

Jiang Yichen's heart became more and more calm, his breathing became longer and longer, and he entered a state of ecstasy.

Since the Battle of Ning Terrace, he has firmly held the seventh level of the "Sit with No Phase and Forgetfulness", and has been trying to climb to the eighth level, but he has not been able to cross the threshold that seems to be achieved overnight.

In fact, "Wuxiang Sitting Forgetting Heart Method" was originally obscure and difficult to understand, and it was a genuine Taoist method, that is, most of the sect masters in Wuxiang Sect, except for the three lonely sect masters, may not be able to break through to the upper level. The situation is that Zhang San and Situ Zhong are still stuck at the middle pass, not to mention the eighth or ninth level.

If the people of Wuxiangmen still exist in the world, Jiang Yichen, who knows that he has only been in and out of Daomen gangs a few times, understands some superficial Daoist methods, and can only be said to have some connections with Daomen, would be able to teach without a teacher the "Sitting and Forgetting Wuxiang". When you have cultivated to such a state, you must be extremely ashamed and ashamed.

Of course, it is a coincidence that Jiang Yichen was able to enter such a state. Otherwise, in just a few months, he would have jumped from the first glimpse of the lower doorway to the advanced realm of the upper layer, even if it was not the reincarnation of the legendary Taoist ancestor. It can also be called a rare Taoist wizard in the world.

However, for Jiang Yichen, who is always humble, he never thought about how shocking his cultivation progress was. He only felt lucky because he escaped from death several times without going into trouble. The situation is not surprising.

The so-called reading a hundred times is self-seeing. Jiang Yichen has a limited time to practice "Sit with No Phase and Forget the Mind", but he can recite the whole text silently but not for three times.

Therefore, he doesn't have any real knowledge about this exercise, but he has some insights.

The reason why the Dharma of Sitting and Forgetting the Mind without Phases is difficult to get started and mastered lies in the four characters of "No Phases" and "Sitting and Forgetting".

To put it simply, the "No Phase" part is relatively similar to the usual internal power methods, focusing on strengthening the body and gaining cultivation.

But in order to enter the state of "no sign" cultivation, one must first have the state of mind of "sitting and forgetting".

It is for "sitting and forgetting first, there is no trace in the future".

And "sitting and forgetting" is subdivided into seven realms, "One Respect", "Two Breaking Fate", "Three Receiving Heart", "Four Simple Things", "Five True Views", "Six Tai Ding", "Seven Dao" ".

Falling into the valley of yin and yang and unable to see, Jiang Yichen was worried about the possible external threats. Jiang Yichen tried several times to sit and forget to no avail. The way to get started.

But because he was far away from the world, he was fortunate enough to realize the state of mind of breaking up and closing his heart.

Then there was Leng Mei who urged him to practice sword day and night. During those days, Jiang Yichen held a wooden sword and practiced the practice of swordsmanship and kendo to simplify and return to the basics.

Until facing the pressure of life and death of "do whatever you want", Jiang Yichen forcibly disperses his kung fu, giving up first and gaining, and he is able to open the door of "The Method of Sitting and Forgetting the Mind without Phase", and step into the state of mind of "simple things".

Taking advantage of the Dao Ning Terrace, Jiang Yichen felt a sense of the realm of poetry and sky painting.

Now that the state of internal strength has reached the seventh level, the state of mind of sitting forgets is still standing still, which is a drag on the progress of internal strength.

If people find out that Jiang Yichen thinks like this, they will be pissed off.

After all, in the state of "True Contemplation", one can often learn from others first, investigate the misfortunes and fortunes that come, the good and bad of movements, and even gain some insights from one meal and one sleep.

Just like Jiang Yichen can appreciate the lightness and agility from the leaf of riding the wind, and he has climbed step by step in the attainment of lightness kung fu, ranking among the forefront of the world today.

For example, right now, when he realized nature, he easily entered a mysterious state of cultivation.

His inner breath movement Zhou Tian follows the rhythm of the tide and resonates harmoniously.

When the tide ebbs, the inner breath slowly retreats into the limbs and bones.

When the tide rises, the internal breaths of the limbs and bones converge into a river, and forcefully impact the key points and tricks.

Too bad it seems to be missing something.

Is it not enough mood?
"The man who is contemplative is the extreme of the mundane, the beginning of the Dao, the success of practising tranquility, and the end of holding peace. The shape is like a tree, the heart is ashes, there is no feeling and no desire, and the end of loneliness, there is no mind in concentration, and everything is uncertain. , so it is called Taiding."

Jiang Yichen recited the formula for the "Tai Ding" state of mind in his heart, shook his head regretfully, and thought to himself: "It's easier said than done to eradicate all vulgar thoughts? If I hadn't been obsessed with my mind, I wouldn't be able to get to where I am now. It doesn't exist, but this world..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yichen was slightly stunned, and then he laughed at himself. I don't know when he was a little guy in the world and put the word "world" in his heart. He learned to let go, but he couldn't help but deliberately. To pursue meditation, even now.

In this way, since it is impossible to "determined", how can we talk about "obtaining the Tao"?
ahh~
Hahaha~
hehehe~
The clear and melodious laughter of several girls and children on the beach pierced into the cochlea at the right time.

Jiang Yichen looked for the sound and moved his eyes from the waves to the beach.

He didn't deliberately run the infuriating qi to his eyes, but what he saw was extremely blurry.

I can only squinted my eyes and combined those laughter and laughter to see what kind of picture it should be there.

But seeing the dignified and mature Mrs. Wan Teng, like the other girls, disregards her image and is fearless. Her clothes are soaked, imitating those fishermen's children with open arms, either carrying or facing the rolling waves coming to the shore, and being photographed time and time again. Into the waves, get up and stand up again and again, never tired of it.

"The waves rise in the slightest waves, but they can roll up huge waves that engulf and even destroy ships through successive waves.

"This is similar to Brother Luo's view of water and qi.

"Thick accumulation and thin hair, is it because my overall internal strength is not enough, so I can't break through the realm with this brute strength?"

Jiang Yichen's thoughts scattered.

The so-called rising tide raises boats, and "Sitting Without Phases and Forgetting Mind" is a wood-based practice. If the water-based practice he has learned can go further, he can also push "Sitting Without Phases and Forgetting Heart" to a higher level.

But for him, "Frost and Snow True Qi" is the foundation of practicing internal skills and is irreplaceable.

And "Frost Snow True Qi", complemented by "Yin Feng Gong", is comparable to a good medium practice.

It was completed in "Frost Snow True Qi", although it is limited by "Frost Snow True Qi".

What can he ask for?

Shouldn't be too greedy.

Jiang Yichen smiled slightly and got out of the cultivation state.

Then a hoarse voice was heard.

"I'm curious. What did you do when you met in the same room that night?"

After a long while, Jiang Yichen confirmed that it was not him who was in a trance, but Maitreya who was smiling and asking questions.

Indeed, except for that night, there were not many rooms in the inn where they stayed for the next two days, and everyone could only make do with sleeping. Jiang Yichen had no chance to be alone with Leng Mei, so what happened during the night alone, no one wants to know !

Actually, nothing happened that night.

But it was Leng Mei who helped him remove the wrap that had been haunting him for many days, and helped him carefully clean his scarred back, and the two went to bed separately.

It's just that the two of them were not very sleepy, and they were lying on their sides facing each other and said something for an unknown amount of time before falling asleep.

The two did not express their heartfelt love to each other, because at the moment of recognition, many words were already silent.

The reunion after a long absence does not necessarily have to be dry wood and fire, as long as the hearts are connected, there will be countless victories in the world.

However, no matter what happened, Jiang Yichen did not intend to let anyone know.

After all, it was between Leng Mei and him. He didn't want the personalities of the bed to become the talk of others after dinner.

He didn't reply for a long time, and the smiling Maitreya didn't seem annoyed, at least the mask still had a generous smile on it.

"At the foot of Jiulian Mountain, Tu Wanfang shattered a mask like this, but this new mask has bloomed twice, and it is no different."

Jiang Yichen thought secretly in his heart, and began to understand why so many people hated the smiling face of this mask.

Just listening to the old and comforting smile under the mask, he said slowly, "It seems that it is regarded as a private bed between husband and wife, so we outsiders are indeed not qualified to inquire."

Jiang Yichen felt a little ashamed and angry when he heard the words, and opened his mouth to argue, but after swallowing a mouthful of salty and wet sea breeze, he didn't know whether it was because his mouth was full of dryness and he didn't want to speak, or he remembered something, looked at the smiling face mask, and silently answered.

"Okay, let's not mention this." The smiling Maitreya waved his hand, indicating that he had said that, "In another question, what do you think about the people who are scattered in Fujian and go deep into Fujian to eradicate the thieves and bandits of the East?"

For a moment, Jiang Yichen didn't understand why the smiling Maitreya asked this question, he was thoughtful.

But Maitreya with a smiling face continued to ask and answer: "I think they may have hatred for the Dongying people, but it doesn't seem to be very deep. I think it's because of your confidante that they risked their lives to accompany you. Naturally, a confidante will not be aimless, she must be here for you, then, have you found the answer you want?"

After hearing the words, Jiang Yichen was no longer silent, and simply said: "Senior really knows that I came here to find clues about my biological parents."

After walking together for a few days, Jiang Yichen has become accustomed to following Bing Yi and others to use "Senior" instead of "Maitreya Clan Master" as their birth name.

Smiling Maitreya said: "I didn't find out your ability, character and details, and I wouldn't entrust the heavy responsibility to you at the beginning."

Jiang Yichen chuckled and said, "Then I should thank the seniors for their care."

Laughing Maitreya didn't answer this, and continued the question he had just asked, saying: "After the riots of the Hongyi Sect, there are only a few Dongying people left in Fujian, and these scumbags obviously can't give you any information about your parents. clue."

The sadness in Jiang Yichen's eyes flashed away, and he asked curiously: "Could it be that senior can help me?"

The smiling Maitreya shook his head and said, "It is clear that the court at that time had done a lot of hard work and erased a lot of key information. Today, in Zhongzhou, I think no one knows more about you than the old man. Message from the parents."

Jiang Yichen sighed and said, "Everything the old man can tell me has already been told to me."

Back then Yinniang and the old man kept silent about their exact life experience, and Murong Jing also told him that Fujian was dangerous, and he didn't know the names of his biological parents, let alone how to imagine what they looked like.

It was not until he arrived at Yaogu after the battle of Ning Terrace that the old man took advantage of Yao Lao's mouth to tell everything he knew.

His ability has been recognized by the elders who protect him, but before he has time to embark on the path of seeking his roots, the land of Fujian has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The fire in Putian County burned not only Southern Shaolin, but also the three-point confidence in the Jianghu of Zhongzhou, as well as the Dongying people themselves.

Fujian has changed from the crisis-ridden Longtan Tiger's Den to a remote place that has been swept away by seventy percent of bloody rivers and lakes.

In the past two days, Jiang Yichen could not find the small mountain village that Yao Lao said was cultivated for generations, nor could he find the small fishing village where he was born. There seemed to be no trace of his parents in Fujian.

Jiang Yichen was a little at a loss.

Fortunately, he is not alone, he is accompanied by friends and confidants, and he is also burdened with other hopes. Although he is a little lost, he will not stop here and sink.

Jiang Yichen turned to the smiling Maitreya and said, "Thanks to the seniors who care so much, presumably the two of you appeared on the bank of the stream, and even waited with me to the east of Butterfly Island. It was not a whim, it was for me, right?"
