Taoist night sword

Chapter 14: Cut the Head

"What is infuriating"

"What is mana?"

"What is delusion?"

In the morning, Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding sat in front of Lou Jinchen, their expressions somewhat restrained, yet also somewhat eager and excited.

Early this morning, after they finished cooking, they went to the temple master's room and asked the temple master if he could let Lou Jinchen teach them how to practice.

After Lou Jinchen asked what they had learned, he found that a large part of what he had learned was the same as "The Method of Harvesting the Sun and Moon".

The difference is that they don't need to open up a sea of ​​qi, and what they refine is not the essence three inches below the navel, but the dirty blood in the heart.

The place to store qi is not in the qi, but in the heart orifice.

"There is vitality between heaven and earth, and vitality is the general term for all kinds of essences mixed together. When we refine and transform qi, what we need is our own consciousness to visualize the sun and the moon, focus on one point, and imagine that there is an invisible flame that will burn the essence in the body. Refined into qi, so qi is refined from imaginary flames, so this qi is also called delusion qi, delusion qi needs to be subdued, and the qi after surrendering delusion qi is true qi."

"True Qi is condensed from the mind and the blood in the body. As the saying goes, every drop of mind becomes a vast ocean, and every strand of true Qi is formed by the condensation of countless thoughts. The mind moves and the true Qi moves."

"And this mana is just another name for true qi. When our true qi acts on the outside of our body and casts the power of magic, it is also called mana."

"Delusion refers to the thoughts that should not be formed in our thoughts, such as greed, desire, fear, etc. When each kind of thought breeds, it needs to be subdued and refined, and finally returned to the sea of ​​​​qi. Call it part of the body's medicine."

"Subduing delusions is not a temporary achievement, but a lifetime of practice, remember it!"

"I call the first stage of refining and transforming qi 'borrowing fakes to cultivate the truth'. This is my understanding of the method of refining qi..."

Lou Jinchen explained his understanding of practice to Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding.

The temple master in the room heard it naturally, and he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lou Jinchen could explain these things so clearly, which made his understanding clearer.

"Back then I was very illiterate. Even if I got the Qi Refining Method, it took me a lot of effort to just recognize the characters. After I recognized all the characters, it was extremely difficult to understand the meaning. I asked everywhere for advice, but I haven't heard it yet. If there is one person who can explain it so thoroughly, Lou Jinchen must have been born in a scholarly family, otherwise, how could he have such an ability to understand, if there is a way to understand in the future, maybe I can ask him for advice, but I am the master of the temple , Ask disciples for advice, will it make people laugh?" The temple master thought in his heart.

"Senior brother, what you practice is Qi refining method, I also want to practice this." Deng Ding said with firm eyes.

Lou Jinchen was not very surprised that he would think so, but he was a little surprised when he heard him call himself senior brother, and asked, "You started earlier than me, why do you call me senior brother?"

"It's just a few days earlier. The master is the teacher, and you teach us how to practice. How can we be senior brothers? Do you think so, Gui An?" Deng Ding asked.

Shang Gui'an saw that Lou Jinchen was practicing qi, and he was already so powerful in a short period of time, so of course he nodded in a hurry.

"You guys have to ask the temple master," Lou Jinchen said.

"Then let's go now." Shang Gui'an hurriedly got up, and Deng Ding got up to follow.

Seeing the impatience of the two, he couldn't help but smile.

Lou Jinchen also followed them and came to the room of the temple master. The temple master looked at the two boys, then at Lou Jinchen, and sighed: "Do you know why the Qi refining method is the most widely spread in the world?" , but the fewest cultivators?"

The three of Lou Jinchen didn't know.

"The Qi refining method is the foundation of all schools of practice nowadays. If you know enough, you will know that the current methods in each school are all intercepted from the Qi refining method, and re-analyzed and developed by yourself, such as The "Dim Sum Dissolving Evil Method" practiced by Benguan is derived from a section of "Refining the Five Qi in the Chest" in the Qi Refining Method."

"Qi refining method is difficult to practice, it is recognized by the world, are you sure you want to follow Lou Jinchen to practice this?" the temple master asked.

The two boys now only think that Lou Jinchen can succeed in cultivation, and he can also succeed in cultivation with other teachings. The master looked at the two of them, and finally said: "If you want to practice, follow along. If you can't, then practice "Dianxin Huasha Law."

The temple master still wants to teach a few disciples here. After all, he used to wander around and study arts. It was not easy to establish a Taoist temple in such a stable place. He also took in two boys who were literate since childhood. Personality is also not bad.

However, it seems that the two disciples I want to accept as the direct heir are about to be snatched away by the registered disciples?

However, he also knew that these two disciples probably wanted to learn from him because they saw that Lou Jinchen's practice was improving very fast.

"When the time comes when you can't subdue your arrogance, you will understand that not everyone can practice qi refining method. At that time, you will still have to inherit my method, and you will still be my disciples."

The temple master allowed them to practice with Lou Jinchen, and the three of them went out happily.

Lou Jinchen also discovered that he still has a little hobby of being a teacher.

However, just in the afternoon, a woman in her twenties came to the Huoling Temple. She claimed to be from the Qingluo Valley, and was taken directly to the temple owner by Shang Guian. Shang Guian was not there at all. The temple master stopped in the room, but quickly returned to Lou Jinchen's side. Lou Jinchen just glanced at it. It was a woman in a dark green dress with a dark green long hair.

He didn't look much because he was teaching them meditation.

They saw that Lou Jinchen's practice seemed extremely easy at that time, but when they practiced, they couldn't even sit still.

The more you settle down, the more irritable you will be, either itching here or soreness or pain there, and sometimes you will be inexplicably irritable, and even want to scream, but Shang Guian always thinks of his mother when he died, and what happened next. In life, there is a surge of sadness, and I always want to cry.

Lou Jinchen was practicing Tanfa Nian.

This was learned outside the village of Du's Village. At that time, he was attacked by these people's spells ejected from a distance. Although they were all scattered by his sword, it did not prevent him from learning.

When he saw it for the first time, he first felt like the 'Six Meridians Excalibur', faint waves of light piercing through the void, Lou Jinchen was not hit, but he thought he hadn't completed his cultivation When using mana, with his condensed thoughts, he still seriously injured the weak soul and alienated monster of the Secret Food School.

He felt that this could be used as sword energy.

If it is integrated into swordsmanship, it can add something to one's own swordsmanship.

He picked up the sword and started to swing it. After a few times, he found that he couldn't let the alloy sword that followed him release the sword energy.He can let the magic thoughts attach to the sword, but when he swings the sword energy, it needs to communicate with the body, and he can eject it with his hands, but he can't use the sword because the sword and the body are not smooth.

"Could it be because there is no sacrifice?" Lou Jinchen thought, he was roughly sure that although he didn't know how to sacrifice, as a person who had read so many miscellaneous notes or novels, he would never lack imagination.

"Smelting with the fire of the sun and the moon, and permeating it with the thoughts of the law, is this considered a sacrifice? Find an opportunity to ask the temple master."

Thinking of this, he patted his head, decided not to think so much, and practiced the sword first, he found that sometimes he thought too much, thought too much, and looked too far, thus ignoring the path under his feet.

The current swordsmanship is only at the beginning, and it is far from reaching the kind of breakthrough in his heart.

He still came to practice swords in the forest outside the Taoist temple, this time he didn't deliberately lift himself up to fly on the treetops, but on the ground in the forest.

He was practicing that sword.

Sensing a target, he pulled it towards him, and at the same time rushed out against the ground under his feet. The moment the sword in his hand was pulled out, his body had already jumped more than ten steps. What followed was a surge of wind and cloud, like two big tides colliding together, and a thick fog exploded.

And the sword is like wiping a person's neck, leaving a deep sword mark under the tree. If this sword wipes a person's neck, that person must be dead.

Then he cast the sword in the same way towards a tree in the distance, but this time it was not wiped, but stabbed, the sword chant was still flowing, a cold light flashed, and half of the sword body sank into the tree trunk.

Pulled out the sword, drew out the sword again, but the person jumped up, and the sword broke off a tree branch above.

This time he came to the woods to practice the basic sword style. He felt that the foundation of the sword technique had changed, so he practiced again from the basic sword style.

Clouds and fog surged in the forest, and sword chant whizzed out along with the wind.

Lou Jinchen who was practicing sword suddenly felt something strange around him.

It felt very strange, as if someone was peeping at him. He put away his sword and looked around, but he couldn't see anything, but the feeling of peeping was even heavier.

Finally his eyes fell on the leaves, and he felt that these leaves were looking at him.

He drew his sword and cut off a large leaf with one sword, but he was thinking in his heart that there was a delusion?

At this moment, he heard a voice: "Lou Jinchen! Lou Jinchen..."

The voice was in a trance and couldn't be heard clearly, but he felt that something in his body was about to leave his body, and a strong sense of danger surged in his heart. He quickly tightened his thoughts and sat down on the ground , Visualizing the bright moon shining into the mind, following the eyebrows, entering the throat, passing through the five internal organs, and then entering the sea of ​​qi, after this guidance and swallowing the moon, the whole person became peaceful.

But the voice is still there, and it is more clear, but it seems that the magic power is gone.

"Lou Jinchen, come here, Lou Jinchen, come here!"

At this moment, he thought of the spell of 'calling on the soul'. The throbbing in his body before must be his own soul that wanted to leave.

"This is someone who wants to recruit my soul and kill me." Lou Jinchen immediately thought of Granny Du, maybe she came to seek revenge.

He suddenly got up, held the sword and walked towards the direction of the voice in his heart.

Walking all the way towards the forest, as the shouting became stronger and clearer, and the surroundings became quieter and quieter, the insects in the quiet mountain seemed to be calling their names. It was somewhat similar to the questioning voices of those resentful souls in Matoupo at that time.

There seems to be another heart beating in the body, trying to jump out of the body, but it is suppressed by the visualization of the bright moon.

Finally, he saw a strange man standing on a stone by a mountain stream.

The weird man was dressed in a black robe, his face was a little swollen, his hair was tied up messily, covering half of his face, he looked weird, and he was a little surprised when he saw Lou Jinchen.

He has a name - human owl.

Originally, he had agreed with Granny Du to meet up in the col in the front, but he happened to pass by Huoling Temple and saw Lou Jinchen practicing swords in the forest. Although he didn't know him, he decided to give it a try. Lou Jinchen, since he took his soul away, Granny Du must be grateful to herself, and then she can ask for more benefits from Granny Du.

And he thought that the soul of Lou Jinchen would be summoned, but what came was Lou Jinchen's body.

But he is not afraid, he is very clear that the physical body came together, indicating that the other party suppressed the soul from the body, but all the consciousness of the self must be used to suppress it, so it is impossible to cast spells, and because the soul is turbulent, the physical body will Feeling soreness and fatigue.

In his heart, Lou Jinchen like this is no threat at all.

This was also the reason why he didn't leave immediately when he saw Lou Jinchen's physical body coming.

Suddenly, he felt his body sink, and the void he was in seemed to be suddenly hardened. A sense of suffocation appeared, a murderous intent enveloped him, and another force pulled him. He was shocked and wanted to calm down and resist. That murderous intent invaded his mind, and he deeply felt that there was an invisible torrent behind him that was about to sweep him down.

"Hey!"

In his eyes, he saw Lou Jinchen leaping out in one step, and he was already in front of him, and a white light waved out from his hand.

I heard the sword groan in my ears, followed by another whistling caused by the collision of vitality.

He felt himself fly, and saw a headless body, sprayed with blood, fall towards the nearby stream.

"what happened?"

This was his last thought, and then a darkness surged up, drowning everything in him.

Lou Jinchen gasped a bit, not only because he swung the sword unreservedly, but also because he was nervous, this sudden attack, this spell, was more frightening than a frontal killing.

He stood on the rock that the other party had just stood on, looked at the body that fell into the stream, felt sick, and wondered whether the body should be buried, but didn't want to touch him.

Putting it here, I am afraid that it will rot and pollute the water source. After all, the water in the mountain will flow outside, and it may flow through the small stream in front of the temple.

Suddenly, he turned his head to look in another direction, and a woman in a dark green dress had appeared there at some point, around twenty, and what attracted Lou Jinchen more was her dark green hair, which It was the woman he had seen in the temple, she seemed to be from Qingluogu.

"Are you also from Granny Du?" Lou Jinchen directly asked the doubts in his heart.

"I'm not, but I know Granny Du." The woman with dark green hair said.

"Then I don't know what advice the girl has?" Lou Jinchen knew intuitively that she should come looking for him. If he saw something like this in the dark, he either came out to stop it or left, and this kind of thing didn't leave. , instead of showing up, that is something.

"I don't dare to teach you. The little girl learns Qingluogu. I was ordered by my teacher to deliver a letter to Ji's Academy. By the way, I came to Huoling to watch it. I heard that there was a new temple outside Yushui City earlier. Chen, the swordsmanship is exquisite and can kill ghosts and gods. What I saw just now is indeed swift, but it is often said that observing the law is not as good as receiving the law. The little girl wants to personally experience the swordsmanship of a Taoist friend."

Lou Jinchen tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, his heart was ready to move, but reason told him that it was best not to agree.

Because the other party saw him killing the enemy with a sword just now, he already had a certain understanding of himself, but he didn't know her at all.

From Master Ji, they only heard that Qingluogu is the inheritance of the secret food school, but they didn't say what kind of spells people in Qingluogu know.

"If I win this time, you can persuade your temple master to come to my Qingluo Valley to submit a letter of apology." The black-haired woman said gracefully, but her expression was full of confidence.

Excited by this, Lou Jinchen asked, "What if I win?"

"Fellow Daoist Ruo Sheng, Qingluogu will not take care of Granny Du's affairs, how about it?" the black-haired woman replied with calm eyes.

"I can agree, but the temple master may not necessarily listen to me." Lou Jinchen said.

"I think you, the Lord, should be able to do it. I believe you can do it." After the woman finished speaking, her eyes were green, and the surrounding trees seemed to be given life at this moment.

Standing in this mountain, among the trees, he was suddenly out of place, like a sheep walking into a pack of wolves.

With enemies on all sides and nowhere to stay, anxiety welled up in my heart.

At this moment, Lou Jinchen looked at the Mo girl standing in the mist in the forest, and felt that she was like a forest spirit, who could control the forest.
