Taoist night sword

Chapter 9: Where the Heart Returns

Under the morning light, half of the front of the alchemy room is in the shadow of the eaves of the house, and the other half is in the light.

What the priest said standing in the shadow of the eaves enraged the people of the Du family village in the sunlight, and Granny Du even screamed, "Kill him, kill him."

Lou Jinchen didn't do anything, since the temple master is here, why should he worry about it.

Amid Granny Du's shouts, many people in Du's Village were about to cast spells, but Lou Jinchen saw the fire flashing in the eyes of the temple master, stretched out his hand to grab it in the void, and shook it, as if he had caught something. Those who wanted to do it covered their hearts, screamed, and fell to the ground.

The temple master didn't pay much attention to other people, as if it didn't matter, and said to Granny Du: "Grandma Du, let's continue refining medicine."

When Granny Du heard these words, she seemed to lose her soul for a moment, she got up stupidly, and walked towards the pharmacy.

"My Lord, please raise your hands high!" This was the voice of Du She, the owner of the Du Family Manor. He only spoke at this time. Lou Jinchen saw that there were a few people around him who practiced spells and did not intend to make a move.

"It's just a small punishment." The temple master didn't turn his head, he just replied indifferently, followed into the medicine refining room, and said: "Lou Jinchen, guard yourself and don't let anyone come in."

"Yes, Guanzhu." Lou Jinchen replied, and then sat at the door of the alchemy room.

After a night of fighting, he was on his way, and he had another fight in the morning, which made him very tired, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

When he was about to get something to eat, Du She, the owner of the farm, asked someone to bring him some food, which was a whole chicken.

This made Lou Jinchen happy, and felt that the owner of the village really judged the situation. After seeing the master's spell, he immediately succumbed.

The person who served the food was a little girl. On this point, Lou Jinchen didn't know what the farm owner thought. Ordinarily, in this world, a girl of her age is generally not allowed to walk around in front of strangers, unless She is a servant, but her clothes are definitely not.

Lou Jinchen tore off the chicken leg and gnawed it. Everything smelled good when he was hungry. He asked if he had any wine. He ate the chicken with a mouthful of wine, and many people were watching from a distance, some of them were still full of resentment, but they dared not come forward.

They all knew very well that if the level of practice was higher than that, it would be infinitely higher, as evidenced by the fact that so many people had no resistance in front of the Huoling Guanzhu just now.

After eating and drinking enough, two more pots of such low-alcohol wine would not make him drunk, but after he was full, he felt lazy and sleepy.

Starting yesterday afternoon, I fought all night and went on the road, and it was another big battle in the early morning here, exhausting my body and mind.

So he hugged the sword, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

However, he still visualized the sun before going to bed.

Thinking of the sun every day, thinking of the moon at night.

Visualize the sun, as if there is a flame burning in your body.

But I have experienced too much this day. When I rest, those memories appear chaotically, like a dream, but there is a sense of a third person watching myself sober. The sun visualized in my thoughts seems to burn all distracting thoughts.

The sunlight deflected, sprinkled on his feet, and then spread to his chest and abdomen, as if swallowing a ray of sunlight and remaining in his abdomen.

A little longer, it was already three days.

Lou Jinchen stayed outside for three days. Apart from eating and drinking, he would just sit there and draw his sword with his fingers, or flick his true energy there.

It's just that after practicing for a day, and thinking about it on my own, I can actually eject the condensed and undissipated true energy, and a faint white light flies like an invisible arrow in the void.

The temple master came out, and then he took Lou Jinchen away, and when he left, the master Du came in a hurry.

Lou Jinchen didn't know if he really planned to endure this breath, or if he planned to take revenge afterwards.After seeing the temple master, he was very respectful and hoped that the temple master would hold his hand high.

Lou Jinchen felt that the viewer might not care, or because he had experienced too much, he had seen through all these little tricks, so he didn't point them out.

"Speaking of which, this medicine is too important to this temple. If you offend me, please keep it in your heart and don't come to cause trouble for this temple." The temple master spoke weakly.

Lou Jinchen almost couldn't help laughing when he heard Guanzhu's words, but the Guanzhu's weak voice said such tiger and wolf words.He saw that the owner's complexion was like a pig's liver, but there was a smile on his face.

"The viewer said, Du must keep it in his heart." The owner said with a smile.

The temple master nodded, and walked outside, Lou Jinchen followed behind, thinking that the small temple master, with his sparse and scorched beard pried up, was a bit cute.

After leaving Du's Village, when Lou Jinchen looked back, he found a row of people standing on the tower of Du's Village, watching himself and the temple master go away.

In Du's Manor, Grandma Du was lying on the ground. After returning home, the owner of Du She carefully lifted her up, carried her to the bed beside her, and asked someone to bring water to her mouth, and fetched a cup of tranquilizing pills Dissolve the medicine in water, and carefully feed it to the mother-in-law.

Granny Du woke up leisurely, closed her eyes and came back to her senses, looked at the people around her, carefully felt her body returned to her, and slowly calmed down the involuntary fear of life and death, and said; " Owner, help me deliver a letter to Senior Sister Hua Xiaoxiao of Qingluogu."

There was hatred in Granny Du's eyes, and Master Du swallowed the words of remonstrance when he saw this scene.

The mother-in-law's cultivation level is not high, she can have the current status, and is well-known and respected. Apart from her own ability to refine medicine, and she is willing to get paid to help others refine medicine, another reason is that she is a teacher of Yu Qing. Luogu, so far in Qingluogu, there is still a senior sister who has been friends with her alive.

Qingluogu is not only good at refining medicine, but also a practice sect. It is said that it has the inheritance of the real secret food school, and refining medicine is just an ability of the secret food school.

People from this kind of sect or aristocratic family with the Dharma inheritance are not comparable to these miscellaneous people.

These days, he inquired about Huolingguan. Although he got very little information, at least one thing can be determined is that Huolingguan's major is the magic of the five internal organs. A rare method among the miscellaneous streams.

"I hope this matter doesn't cause trouble for the Du family village." Du She, the owner of the Du village, was thinking about what the Huoling Temple master said before he left, and at the same time sent someone to Qingluo Valley to deliver the letter. It is impossible not to deliver the letter, Du The mother-in-law can't be provoked either.

Moreover, he also inquired about the situation of Matoupo. He heard that six people went in this time, and only the disciple of the Fire Spirit Temple survived. What, what is there, those who are still alive behind can't explain it.

He only said that there were bewitching and evil voices surging like waves, and he also said that he saw the flames burning through the sky.

……

Lou Jinchen galloped wildly on his horse, and the temple master was right in front of the horse, striding lightly in the void, the wind and fire surged under his feet, and his fiery red robes were flying like a ball of flames, this horse was actually hard to surpass.

At sunset, the two returned to the Fire Spirit Temple.

When he saw the Huoling Temple, for some reason Lou Jinchen actually had a feeling of going home.

The temple master took the lamp from the saddle away, and did not say anything to Lou Jinchen. Normally, the temple master is not a talkative person. If he is not interested, he is taciturn, and he can stay silent for many days.

So he would tell the owner of Du's Village that he hoped that he would not come to cause trouble, which was obviously from the heart.

As soon as Lou Jinchen came back, Shang Guian and Deng Ding surrounded him and asked where he went and what he did.

Lou Jinchen said that he went to Matoupo, and fought with the monster there with the three-foot sword in his hand. After hearing this, the two boys showed doubts, obviously they did not believe that Lou Jinchen could do this.

Lou Jinchen didn't care whether they believed it or not, and he didn't dislike it, because he felt that the two boys were in the most real state. When they were young, there was no hypocrisy in their hearts. If they didn't believe it, they didn't believe it.

"Lou Jianxia, ​​it's been so many days since you left, tomorrow there will be no firewood for cooking in Guanli, it's time to chop firewood." This is because Shang Gui'an felt that Lou Jinchen treated them like children, so he spoke a little mockingly .

Lou Jinchen didn't care, picked up the ax and went to split the wood.

The two boys were fine, so they squatted beside him to watch him chop wood, and asked him what was behind.

After all, he had been out for so many days, and he ended up in Matoupo Village in just one night, so where did the extra time go?

Lou Jinchen didn't hide anything, he said he went to Du's Village, but he didn't say that he had a battle with the people in Du's Village. After all, in his opinion, it was because he defeated others, and the viewer used magic to coerce others into the village. People, there is no need to promote such things.

The Du Family Manor is quite famous in this area. The two boys naturally asked what the Du Family Manor looked like. Lou Jinchen explained this point very carefully. In his opinion, this Du Family Manor house is very distinctive. Zhuangzi forms layers of circles from the inside to the outside. No wall is straight, and there is an alternative beauty.

"If there is a chance, I must go to Du's Village." The two boys thought to themselves after hearing this.

The two boys went to make dinner, and after going to pay their respects to the master, they knew that the master did not have dinner tonight, so it was just the three of them eating.

Lou Jinchen was still chopping firewood, but he was thinking about swordsmanship in his mind.

For the past few days, he has repeatedly recited the sword formula passed on by Guanzhu in his heart. Regarding the following sentence, "The sword rises from the sea of ​​heart, cut off all ghosts and gods to see the green mountains", he has some vague ideas, but he feels that it is not accurate.

He felt that beheading those weird eyes on the horse head slope was killing ghosts and gods.

But he thought it was not accurate enough. He knew that after all, his own knowledge was lacking, so he couldn't grasp the meaning of this sentence that could be understood at a glance.

In addition, he also has further ideas about the application of swordsmanship.

The sword senses yin and yang, attached to the sun's fine fire or the sun's fire, can kill ghosts, cut through some spells, and the power of this sword technique appears.

But swordsmanship is not only these, the sword moves lightly, this time he deeply realized that he is not light enough, this is a world where Taoism is manifested, and weirdness breeds, his body is heavy, if other people's spells are fast enough, Can you react by yourself?Can the sword in my hand block it?Can I avoid it myself?
He felt that he needed to figure out footwork, bodywork and the like.

"Looking at the Lord's stepping into the void today, there seems to be wind and fire growing under every step, like a lotus growing at every step, agile and fast, I will ask the Lord for advice tomorrow." Lou Jinchen thought in his heart.

After dinner, Lou Jinchen came to an open space in the ground temple, sat cross-legged and visualized facing the moon, and visualized the moon in his mind, in his eyes, in his internal organs, in his six internal organs, and in the sea of ​​qi.

Focusing on one point again, the moon moves with the thoughts, moving inch by inch in the meridian, and then enters his mind. The moment he enters his mind, he feels as if he has soared into a magnificent and colorful world, as if in Tiangong, in the boundless emptiness, this feeling is very mysterious and dangerous.

There seems to be no end here, time will be forgotten, and people will be addicted to it, so you need to tighten your consciousness and swim around here, then come out of your mind and return to the sea of ​​​​qi, just like a heart After falling back to the original place, he was at ease, and he could clearly feel the strength of his true energy.

The two boys were also sitting beside them, and Lou Jinchen looked at them, obviously they hadn't entered the state of tranquility, they hadn't started at all.

"What are you doing here?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Lou Jinchen, we are sensing yin and yang, refining and transforming qi." Shang Gui'an immediately replied.

"Oh!" Of course, Lou Jinchen knew that they were talking nonsense. He just sat here because he saw himself here. It hurts.

Put your hands under your head and look at the stars in the sky.

When the two boys saw him lying down, they also lay down, in the same posture, with their fingers crossed on the back of their heads, and they looked at the sky.

The nearby insects happily ate the juice of the grass stems in the grass, making brisk chirps.

"It's so quiet." Deng Ding sighed.

"Yes. It's so quiet." Shang Gui'an repeated.

Lou Jinchen didn't speak, but felt peaceful.

The place where the heart returns is the home, and the heart is at peace.
