Taoist night sword

Chapter 10: Embrace yourself

The plan of the day is in the morning.

Since Lou Jinchen started to practice, sleep should be practiced, and practice should be slept. He only needs to rest for a short time every day.

Waking up in the morning, he first fetched water, washed his face, wet his hands, stroked his hair, and then began to collect Yang essence.

When he was in Du's Village, he couldn't chew willow sticks to brush his teeth, but he found that after taking Yang Jing in his mouth, he could directly sterilize bacteria and freshen his breath.

In the east, fish belly turns white, and the clouds turn from gray scales to white slowly, then light gold, golden yellow, and finally a cloud of light, the blackness between the sky and the earth is driven into the mountain and forest houses.

Lou Jinchen first came to the statue, burned a stick of incense, and then came to the door of the temple master's room. He knew that the temple master must know that he was coming.

Knocking on the door, the Lord's voice came from inside: "Come in."

The temple master was sitting there as before, with a lamp beside him, and the flame on the lamp was dancing, but he did not leave the lamp.

Lou Jinchen vaguely felt a restless emotion from the flame on the lamp. He looked at the temple master and found that he closed his eyes, and he couldn't see anything disturbing.

After Lou Jinchen saluted, the master of the temple opened his eyes, glanced at Lou Jinchen, and asked, "Why don't you come to see this temple?"

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.

"Monastery master, I saw the temple master stepping into the void yesterday, I don't know what method it is?" Lou Jinchen asked directly, he had vaguely grasped the character of the temple master, he doesn't like trouble, so don't go around talking to him, Talk about things directly.

"Do you want to learn the method of stalking the wind?" the temple master said.

"Yes." Lou Jinchen said.

"It's not impossible, but, just right, you send a letter for this temple, and you can practice the method of walking in the air on the way." The temple master said.

Lou Jinchen only felt that the temple master was too real, and if he wanted to study the Fa, he had to help him with work.

Fortunately, I just want to agree, so I will give the law first.

"I don't know where the master wants me to deliver the letter?" Lou Jinchen asked, which was a promise.

"In Yushui City, Ji's Academy, you give it to Master Ji, Ji Xianming." After the master of the temple finished speaking, he sighed and said: "This temple went to Du's village to refine medicine, it is because of Master Ji's favor, But the result is that the contemplation uses the method of restraining the mind to capture the refining medicine completed by Grandma Du, which is really inappropriate."

"This time, you go to explain the antecedents of the matter to Master Ji on behalf of Benguan, not because Benguan is unreasonable."

The temple master was silent for a while when he said this, and Lou Jinchen responded, but he was still waiting for him to continue.

"I see that Grandma Du is a stubborn person. I don't think she will give up. She was born in Qingluo Valley, so she will definitely invite people from Qingluo Valley to come to me to discuss the explanation. No matter what happens, I'm afraid it will be unavoidable. I did it once, but unfortunately, I don’t have any friends to help me here, so I can only deal with it myself.” The voice of the master was a little restless.

Lou Jinchen felt that the current viewer's mood was a bit strange, it was not his nature, and he was a little irritable.

While thinking about it, Lou Jinchen replied, "Disciple, definitely deliver the letter from the temple master."

The temple master nodded, and then said: "The Wind Walking in the Sky is just a method of imperial control. The driving of objects, the talisman and the sword are all the same. These are all objects outside the body, so have you ever thought about protecting yourself?"

"Yourself?" Lou Jinchen heard this, and for some reason thought of a joke, grabbed his hair and lifted himself up, and stepped on the back of his feet to practice the lightness kung fu of Wudang's vertical ladder.

Lou Jinchen asked a little awkwardly: "If you control yourself, you can fly to the sky?"

The host raised his head and glanced at him, Lou Jinchen saw doubts in the eyes of the host, as if he was talking about why he suddenly became stupid.

"There are clouds in the dharma formula, the void is like the sea, the body is like a fish swimming, and its movement and stillness are like a big fish fighting the wind and waves." The master said: "The dharma formula also says: to control the earth with no form."

When Lou Jinchen heard it, he seemed to grasp something.

Go out after receiving a letter from the temple master.

But the master of the temple looked at the flames of the flames and thought: "This medicine is indeed a bit strong. I couldn't refine it all night, but it disturbed my mood!"

Lou Jinchen then went to the room to get the sword, and when he went out, he saw the boy Shang Guian cooking there, when he saw Lou Jinchen coming out with the sword, he immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

This question is very much like a wife in that world asking a husband who is out drinking.

"I am ordered by the Guanzhu to deliver a letter to Swimming City." Lou Jinchen said casually.

"Send a letter? Then can you send a letter home for me too." Shang Gui'an asked.

Of course Lou Jinchen would not refuse, Shang Guian hurried to the room where he was staying, and after making a fuss, he came out with nothing in his hand and said, "It's only in the main room of the Brush and Ink Temple, please bring me a message Go to my house."

"What message?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"You ask my family to buy some baby chickens for me, ten are enough, I will raise them up, and I will be able to stew old hens to eat in the future."

Shang Gui'an swallowed his saliva after speaking, obviously he was greedy.

Looking at him, Lou Jinchen has indeed lost a lot of weight since the first time he saw him.

"Okay, I'll definitely bring it." Lou Jinchen was about to leave after finishing speaking, Shang Gui'an shouted again: "Wait a minute, just tell my father what you said just now, if you don't see my father, don't say it. "

Lou Jinchen was taken aback for a moment, but still nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, Deng Ding ran over with the clothes he had just washed and shouted: "Lou Jinchen, you also go to my house and bring me a knife. In this barren mountain, you and the temple master always If I’m not at home, I’ll take a knife for self-defense.”

"Okay." Lou Jinchen also readily agreed, and then left after asking the address of their home.

Out of the view, there is a gust of wind blowing on the face head-on, and the wild grass under the feet floods the hunter's path into the mountain to hunt.

At the foot of the mountain at Huolingguan more than [-] miles away from Swimming City, this mountain has a name - Qunyu Mountain. The mountains are not high, but the mountains between each one seem to emerge from the water. On the back of the fish, the Fire Spirit Temple is next to one of the roads into the mountain.

The mountain road is flat, and Lou Jinchen went downhill all the way, thinking about the two sentences of the Buddhist formula in his heart.

"The void is like the sea, the body is like a fish swimming, and both movement and stillness are like a big fish fighting the wind and waves; controlling the earth without form."

If a person is in the water, he uses the buoyancy of the water to keep himself from sinking, but if he wants to swim, he has to paddle.

This must be to feel a resistance first, and then to be able to borrow force, just like pulling a rope forward, the rope must be tied to a fixed position before the pulling force can be formed.

If the rope is hung on a high place, people can climb up, and what if the rope is woven by people's own thoughts?Where should it be tied to be able to hang itself?

Is there resistance in this void?People in this world may not be able to understand it for a while, but he can easily think of it.

He thought that when capturing the sun essence and the moonlight, both the sun essence and the moonlight were flying towards him, so if he captured a large area at once, would it be possible to form a pulling force suddenly, and then read Is it possible to form a repelling force again?

If you pull up and push down, can you fly now?
He hadn't tried this before, and he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that his thinking was not open enough.

However, it is not too late to figure it out after hearing the Buddhist scriptures.

He raised his hands up, as if he was holding the void, and the thoughts moved accordingly, protruding into the void, like countless silk threads, and like countless invisible hands, they actually captured a piece of void, and moved to the bottom of his body. A pull.

There was a sudden storm in the void, and his whole body seemed to be pulled up, like a person who was submerged in the water with both hands, and the whole body rushed towards the top of the water.

In the distance, two hunters were about to enter the mountain. They saw a man with a long sword in his waist on a mountain road. People just float up in the clouds and mists, just like flying through the clouds.

It was only Lou Jinchen who rose to the height of one person from the ground, and then sank again.

At this moment, Lou Jinchen immediately felt elated. He felt that the most interesting thing in this world was to gain new knowledge through exploration.

Spells are the witness of a person's understanding of this world.

Some people say that the meaning of life is nothing more than the exploration of knowledge, the pursuit of beauty, and compassion for those who are persecuted by evil.

Now Lou Jinchen is exploring the knowledge of cultivation and seeking the principles of spells. He is delighted that every spell is born under his own thoughts.

He felt the fear, shock, and envy of the two hunters.

When they passed not far from where they were standing, the two hunters followed Lou Jinchen closely and turned to the back of the slope.

And after Lou Jinchen succeeded in the first verification, he continued to practice. He knew that he understood any principle, and being able to display it did not mean that he could apply it proficiently. It was like practicing a sword. , can pierce the wooden board, but it doesn't mean that he can also pierce the sword when fighting with people, let alone take the air and jump.

Heading all the way to Swimming City, his body was as clumsy as if he had just learned to swim in the water; he was also like a chick learning to fly, gliding again and again, and every time he glided, wind, cloud and mist surged.

I couldn't help but think, could it be that those monsters in the myths travel, and the fog around their bodies rises to the sky, because they lift themselves up because of the sense of magic.

It's not good to lift yourself up, so lift up the clouds and fly, soaring through the clouds and riding the fog is the name that the magic of the fairy family should have.

But he felt that if he only wanted to do this, and wanted to integrate it into his swordsmanship and body skills, then there was still a long way to go.

After walking more than twenty miles, I was tired after walking halfway. I sat on the side of the road, found a stream to wash my face, and sat there to rest. The power to enable oneself to be able to fly should be derived from the phrase "controlling the earth in the invisible".

He continued to walk, striding forward, not having to lift himself up and glide in the air like before.

After feeling the pull of the sky, he found that it is easy to borrow power, just like a person who has learned to swim, he will never forget that he can borrow the power of water by flopping and waving his hands casually in the water. The strength floats up the body.

After experiencing this feeling carefully, he finally came to Swimming City.

This is not the first time he has come to Swimming City. The last time he came, he tried to gain a foothold in this city, but because he did not have an identity certificate, he was targeted by the gang on the pier.

There are still guards blocking the inspection when entering the city. Although Lou Jinchen is not dirty, he wears a set of clothes over and over again. Although he washes them every time, he still looks very bad, especially He also fought fiercely several times, with some worn holes on it, looking like a down-and-out quack swordsman.

However, the guards were only making routine inquiries. When Lou Jinchen said that he was a disciple of Huolingguan, they looked suspiciously at him, but finally let him go.

He felt that he should get some money to change his clothes, and smelled his body, but fortunately there was no sour smell.

Walking through the city of swimming, looking all the way, I found that the names of the shops on the streets of the city were not only common ones related to basic necessities of life, but also some strange shop names.

One of them is next to a coffin shop, and there is a shop that says "ghost trading". In this world, in a city inhabited by humans, even ghosts can be bought and sold, which is really unbelievable.

He really wanted to take a stroll around this swimming city, but now his first task was to go to Ji's Academy to meet Master Ji, so he had to give up.

He didn't know much about Ji's Academy, but he knew Granny Du because of Mrs. Ji from Ji's Academy, and there were quite a few people in Grandma Du's Du's Village who knew spells, and Qingluogu seemed extraordinary, but But she sent her beloved grandson to study Confucianism and Law in Ji's Academy, which shows that Confucianism and Law must be very strong in this world.

It's a pity that when I came here, I forgot to ask Guanzhu whether Confucianism is the method of refining Qi.

When he found Ji's Academy, he knocked on the door and saw the concierge and told him about his background. In that room, an old man read a sentence, followed by a few childish voices,
After listening to a few more words, Lou Jinchen only felt that this Ji's Hall had an inexplicable charm, quiet and peaceful, as if it was a world of its own, no matter what happened outside, it would not affect this place.

When he was in a daze, an old man walked out of the room, but the sound of the children reading in the room did not stop.

This old man was dressed in a plain white robe, with gray hair and a purple wood hairpin on his head. He looked extremely energetic. His eyes were bright and restrained. When he stared at Lou Jinchen, he felt that he was seen through by others at a glance.

"The qi refining method of picking and refining yin and yang is so pure. Are you a disciple of Taoist Huoling?" Master Ji asked in surprise.

"I have seen the master, the disciple is the registered disciple of the master!" Lou Jinchen said.

"Oh, registered disciple, how can he be your master if he is a member of the sect? If you come to the old man's school, the old man will accept you as the true biography."

Master Ji's words were beyond Lou Jinchen's expectation, and he opened his mouth for a while, not knowing how to answer.

He didn't expect that the other party would poach the corner of the temple master's wall before he said the letter of the temple master, which made him feel a little bit of kindness in his heart.

"This old man has a granddaughter who is good-looking, virtuous and courteous, how about marrying her to you?" Master Ji said again.

"I..." Lou Jinchen's heart welled up like spring water.

　I made a comparison, as long as I ask everyone to collect, then there will be more collections on that day, and if I don’t ask, there will be fewer collections. Is it so real?

　　Everyone is a decent person, collecting and making tickets.
