Taoist night sword

Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Under the starry sky, the continuous mountains are like the deep ink in the painter's brush, and a little light under the mountain pierces the darkness, which is where the Fire Spirit Temple is located.

Lou Jinchen took the girl into the Fire Spirit Temple and woke up Shang Guian. He was very surprised when he saw the girl with a dirty and smelly body. Lou Jinchen asked him to boil water, and then told him about the girl. thing.

Of course, he didn't know much about the girl's background, so he only told what he knew. The girl sat on the threshold of the kitchen, holding her knees and motionless.

After that, let the girl come to the bathroom and bathe in the barrel. He was about to go out to find clothes for her, but when he turned around, the girl grabbed the corner of his clothes and didn't speak. Lou Jinchen Seeing the fear still in her eyes, she sighed and said, "I'm going to find you a change of clothes."

The girl acted as if she didn't hear him, she held onto his clothes tightly, Lou Jinchen had no choice but to shout: "Shang Gui'an, go to Deng Ding's room to find a set of clothes."

Knowing that the girl was going to take a bath, Shang Gui'an had already left here, after hearing Lou Jinchen's words, he went to Deng Ding's room to find a set of clothes, brought them in, and went out again without Lou Jinchen's orders.

"Okay, here are the clothes, you can wash them yourself, I'll watch at the door, don't be afraid," Lou Jinchen said.

The girl shook her head, Lou Jinchen was about to peel off her hand, there were tears in her eyes.

"Oh, how about this, anyway, you are still young, it's nothing, I won't leave in the room, you wash yours." After Lou Jinchen made a promise, she took off her clothes, but one hand was still holding the clothes. Lou Jinchen refused to let go even if he got into the barrel.

"Wash well, even your hair." Lou Jinchen couldn't help but said looking at the filth on her head.

In the end, she changed two buckets of water in a row before she finished washing.

Perhaps after taking a bath, the hot water dispelled the coldness in her heart. Her body was glowing red, and her face was even more red in the light.

That night, Lou Jinchen let her sleep in his own room, and then he meditated next to him.

On the second day, she looked much better, but she still didn't speak. Lou Jinchen only knew her name was 'Nan Nan' and took her to meet the temple master. The temple master looked at Nan Nan and said, "It's a People who are miserable, have enjoyed all the glory in the first ten years, and then they have to face the darkness. Walking in the darkness requires magic protection. There are two methods in this concept, one is the method of refining Qi, and the other is the "Dim Sum" practiced by the concept. The method of transforming evil spirits, these two methods can protect the body, which one do you want to learn."

The temple master heard Lou Jinchen bring her back last night, and knew her origin.

This girl suddenly reminded him of another woman he had met before. That woman also experienced hardships, but after stepping into the practice, it was like lighting firewood, illuminating one side in a short period of time.

As for Lou Jinchen, he already regarded him as a genius in his heart.

Lou Jinchen was a little surprised that the hostess actually wanted to accept her as a disciple the first time he saw her.

But Nan Nan didn't reply, the lamp flame next to the temple master jumped, and seemed to know what Nan Nan meant, and said: "You want to worship Lou Jinchen as your teacher, Lou Jinchen is also a disciple of this temple, you Take Benguan as your teacher, and Benguan will let him teach you."

Nan Nan looked at Lou Jinchen, and Lou Jinchen nodded. As for the girl wanting to worship him as a teacher, he thinks it is good to worship Guanzhu as a teacher. If you want to learn from yourself, you can learn from yourself. What is the idea of ​​self-preservation.

In this way, Nan Nan stayed in Huoling Temple.

The temple master looked at the figure of Lou Jinchen leading Nannan out of the room, and couldn't help but think: "I am of course talented, but if there is a chance to see my old friend again in the future, my disciple will definitely not be weaker than others."

Time flies, it is the middle of the month.

Lou Jinchen came to Ji's Academy.

The school was quiet, there were no students, the middle-aged man who led the way told him that the students were resting today.

"Could Master teach the Fa for me alone?" Lou Jinchen lingered on this thought, and finally asked.

"Usually the master is resting today, today is a special trip to lecture you, young master." The middle-aged guide stopped talking after finishing speaking, and led Lou Jinchen to the pavilion where he sat when he first arrived.

Looking at the pavilion outside the pavilion, I saw that there was a name engraved on the pavilion that I hadn't noticed last time.

Wind and rain Pavilion.

On the pillars on both sides are engraved: "The wind blows a garden of spring, and the rain sings of the garden's tranquility."

He recited it silently a few times in his mind, thinking of Mrs. Ji sitting here, watching the trees in the garden sprouting new buds and blooming red flowers, and then it happened to rain, and in the sound of the rain, the schoolchildren in the room behind were reading books The voice came faintly.

Footsteps sounded. In the cold weather at the end of this winter, Master Ji was wearing a linen robe and his hair was loose. He looked casual and relaxed. Compared with the last time we met, he was exhausted and sad. less than.

Lou Jinchen knows that people cannot live in negative emotions all the time, they have to adjust themselves, this is not forgetting, memories are like things at home, they need to be sorted out and placed, and those unhappy memories cannot be kept forever on the table.

"You came early today!" Master Ji came to the pavilion and stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the ray of sunlight shining into the courtyard.

"Master didn't say the exact time in the middle of the month. I was afraid that I might not hear everything when I came too late, so I came early in the morning." Lou Jinchen said.

"It seems that you are still very eager for the knowledge of spells." Ji Fuzi said, I don't know if it is because he is dressed casually now, so his speech is much more casual than before.

Lou Jinchen pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes, I hope to see the world clearly, so I want to learn more about spells."

"Well, I have heard this question many times, but I have only heard a similar answer three times, and you are the fourth."

Lou Jinchen wanted to ask who those three people were, but thought that if he asked, Master Ji would talk endlessly, and then there would be no time for explanations, so Lou Jinchen didn't ask.

At this time, the middle-aged man who brought Lou Jinchen to the school before brought a pot of tea, and then served porridge and side dishes.The master called Lou Jinchen to eat together, but Lou Jinchen happened to have nothing to eat, so he just sat down and ate.

Neither of them spoke, they just ate quietly, after they finished eating, they drank tea again, Lou Jinchen poured it for the master, and brought it in front of him, the master did not refuse, saying: "You offer me tea, That would be my disciple."

In fact, Lou Jinchen doesn't care about worshiping one more teacher, but he minds saying "you worship me as a teacher, you are only my disciple", although this will bring him many benefits, but he can't pass the test in his heart .

Because he is very clear that all the good things he has now come from past experiences, and people should not be ungrateful.

"The disciple understands that life is born between the heaven and the earth, and respecting the teacher and respecting the way is fundamental." Lou Jinchen said.

"Okay, from today onwards, you are a student of my Ji's Academy, so you don't have to call me Master, you can still call me Master." Master Ji continued without stopping after finishing speaking.

"Confucian magic, don't pass on treacherous villains, don't pass on unfilial people, and don't pass on vicious gangsters. It's very good that you think so! I see that you act like a hero. You need to be careful of being deceived in the future. " Master Ji said.

"Master, why do you say that?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"I thought of a friend of mine who was trustworthy, bold and forthright, and acted straightforwardly, but was deceived by others and killed a good person by mistake, and was run on by others, and finally committed suicide to apologize. Later, I realized that it was a trap set by others .”

What else can Lou Jinchen say, the master is not someone who needs his comfort, and this matter has been going on for some time, Lou Jinchen secretly warned himself to be careful, the master used this example to let himself understand the dangers of the world .

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about the Dharma." The master said: "There are many schools of practice in the world, the orthodox method, the sect, and the heresy, but no matter which one, the method is the fundamental. Just use the method of refining the qi you practice. For example, picking and refining the sun and the moon is the fundamental skill, and all spells will be derived from it."

"Gongfa is the fundamental method, but there are many ways to apply it, which is ingenious. We call it the magic method. We can learn from each other when we find the common points of various kungfu methods, so there is another saying called , the same goal by different routes.”

"What do you think we practice, what are we cultivating?"

"Flesh body, consciousness, soul." Lou Jinchen immediately answered these three, but after pondering for a while, he said: "Faith, virtue, and understanding of this world."

"Very good, you have these understandings, which means that you are really practicing, unlike some other people who only practice step by step according to the practice method. These people are like the road paved by others. They are there. Walking up the steps one by one, I don’t know why the road is built like this, and I don’t know where it leads.”

"Flesh body, soul, and consciousness are our foundations, and all exercises revolve around strengthening these three, but each type of exercise has different emphases, such as the feathering method, emphasizing soul cultivation, and strengthening through consciousness visualization The soul and the body are like a ship, and the soul cannot exist alone between the heaven and the earth, and it can never abandon the body."

"No matter which faction of cultivation method it is, there is one thing that is indispensable, and that is one's own consciousness, which generates thoughts and achieves real mana."

Lou Jinchen listened carefully, there were some things he had already figured out, and some things he hadn't figured out yet.

"A delusional person surnamed Huang once said that 'all the laws in the world are born of delusion and cannot be destroyed by delusion'. The delusion here, you should be very clear that it refers to all kinds of thoughts that people have. Although he exaggerated the delusion, but All of our cultivation results really start from the mind, and then act on the body or soul to upgrade and change it, and then feed it back to the consciousness to make it stronger."

"Do you still remember the spell of folding paper into a crane?" asked the master.

Lou Jinchen nodded repeatedly.

"This spell is actually very simple. As long as your spell is strong enough and you know enough about the white crane, then you can achieve illusion with a single thought. The paper crane is transformed by my soul mind. Then I Why do I still have to say the phrase 'go to Qingluo Valley to find Hua Xiaoxiao', because what is attached is my secondary thought, not the main thought."

"What is supplementary reading?" Lou Jinchen asked.He can understand the main and auxiliary sayings, but can thoughts be divided into main and auxiliary?
"After a lamp is lit, you can see the flame and the light. Where is the main light and the flame here, and where is the auxiliary?" Master Ji said.

With this metaphor, Lou Jinchen understood that his own thoughts can perceive some dangers in the distance, which is like light, but it is not his main thought, just like a light that illuminates people in the distance clearly, but cannot make it burn.

He thought of his 'Heart Sword' again, and couldn't help asking: "Master, I have a method called Heart Sword, which can sense the enemy's location, shine it into the heart, and then kill him with the sword. This method can explain it."

"Your 'heart sword' should come from the law of the heart seal, the so-called heart seal, also known as the heart seal, the mind response, and a more popular term called induction, so the response to the feeling is the law, that's the reason .”

"It's like, you are a lamp, and your thoughts are like fire, emitting light and illuminating the surroundings. Someone calls your name in the darkness in the distance, you hear it, and your thoughts are bound by yourself. There is a response, but the auxiliary thought that is like light outside will respond, often because the auxiliary thought is weak, I can't even notice it, it's like the light shines into the distance, and it can't clearly illuminate the things in the dark."

"But it's not bad that you can capture your own thread-like auxiliary thoughts and make them carry some will of the main thoughts." Master said.

After Master Lou Jinchen explained clearly, he felt that he had some ideas again.

Master Ji attached his thought to the paper crane, turning it into a crane and flying far away. Even if it was the main thought at that time, it would become a secondary thought, and only a thread of thought was attached to maintain what Master Ji ordered. That sentence is human, and I am looking for the destination.

"So, if you want to origami a crane, you need to have a certain understanding of cranes?" Lou Jinchen said.

"Yes, it's not just about understanding. When casting a spell, you need to focus on two things, so that the other consciousness imagines that you are a crane, and the more you understand about the crane, the more real it will become." Master Ji Said.

"Then, can the five elements be transformed into each other?" Lou Jinchen asked, because he thought of a spell like 'touch stone into gold'.

"Of course, but the transformation of the five elements is a very complex and profound spell, not just as simple as illusion." Master Ji's words opened a new door for Lou Jinchen.

"Then disciple, do you need to practice drawing?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"If you have time, you can naturally practice it. Confucianism has the six arts of rites, music, books, and swordsmanship. The books in it not only refer to reading and literacy, but also refer to calligraphy, talisman, and painting."

Lou Jinchen found that the six Confucian arts were not much different from what he knew, but there must be a difference in the explanation.

Before I knew it, it was already noon.

Some people cooked food, this time they didn't bring it to the wind and rain pavilion, but called them to eat in the main room.

The two ate without talking, but after eating, Master Ji said: "What I told you today is enough for you to understand for a while. Go back and come back next month."

Lou Jinchen saluted and thanked Master.

　In fact, you can also read my other book "I am the curator of the spiritual hall" and finish the novel.
