Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 112 "Liyan" (for subscription)
After putting on the remains of the golden body and drinking porridge, his spirit improved a little, at least he didn't look so sluggish.

Xiaoqian asked, "My lord, are you still going to the Confucian Temple today?"

Chen Jin shook his head: "I won't go today."

For a long time to come, there is no need to go again.

Visualization is a long process, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. When there is something to be gained, it must be slowed down, absorbed and digested.

Xiaoqian was very happy to hear that the young master stopped going to the Confucian Temple. In the past few days, she was always alone in the room, looking lonely.

She wants to ask the young master to teach her to read and write.

But now Chen Jin has no free time.

After a good rest, I entered the Niwan Palace and saw the teacher sweeping the floor.

Su Xiaowen said: "Shou Heng, the old monk left behind a gray robe, what should I do?"

Chen Jin picked up the monk's robe, opened it to look, and saw densely packed characters, not Sanskrit, but written in Dagan characters.

After reading it, I found that this is actually a Dharma door of the Buddhist family, named: "The Mantra of the White Bone Wuxiang Great Freedom".

Seeing this, I immediately thought of the "Sanli Sutra", which was also recorded on the clothes. The leather clothes were packed well and were hidden in the crock sky.

"This monk, after passing Nirvana, deliberately left this method..."

Chen Jin didn't think the other party had good intentions.

There are conflicts of views between different schools of inheritance methods, and the forms are very different. This is a contradiction, and even irreconcilable.

As the saying goes: Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

There is a saying, "Red flowers, green leaves, and white lotus root, the three religions were originally one family." Those are all verses from the prehistoric era, and they say different things.

It's like a scholar who reads Buddhist scriptures daily without any problem. If he suddenly loses sight of the world of mortals and becomes a monk after reading Buddhist scriptures, then he has escaped into Buddhism and changed his family.

For the original origin, it is equivalent to betrayal.

Chen Jin was the one who built the Confucian Temple. If he changed to Buddhism, wouldn’t he be able to destroy the temple?

He is not a brain pit.

Therefore, whether it is subjective or unintentional, it can be regarded as a temptation to waver when the old monk keeps this hand.

His heart can be punished.

It's just that the other party has turned into ashes, as if he has been crushed...

Chen Jin wanted to destroy the monk's robe, but after thinking about it, he folded it instead of doing it.

When I came to the gate of the Confucian Temple, I began to contemplate.

The "Li Gong Pian" of the "San Li Jing" is inscribed on the sword box hanging on the forehead. What about the "Li Yan Pian"?

Sure enough, between the lines of the horizontal plaque and the couplets, he caught the mysterious formula and secret method.

After understanding, I jumped for joy.

This is indeed the secret of "Li Yan Pian".

It's a pity that it's not complete, but for Chen Jin, having an outline is enough for him to study and get started.

"Li Yan Pian", as the name suggests, is closely related to "language".To put it bluntly, it is to "convey the way through writing", write excellent articles, poems and paintings, etc., and then be recognized by people and become classics that are recited.

For this requirement, the traverser said that he was very good at it, and he had a lot of ready-made knowledge reserves in his memory, which was enough to meet it.

Of course, it is not enough to be a porter, but also to pay attention to "the wonderful use of it, with one mind".

After all, it is always inseparable from the cultivation of mood.

Chen Jin stayed in Niwan Palace for most of the day, when he woke up, it was already sunset.

Xiaoqian has almost finished dinner.

The weather is hot and there is no refrigerator. Every meal is bought and cooked on the spot. It is hard for Xiaoqian to go grocery shopping every day.

She knows how to buy vegetables, but she doesn't know how to bargain. She will give as much as she asks. It is inevitable that she will be short-changed by some profiteers.

These are small things, nothing to worry about.

As long as you don't get bullied.

But with her situation, ordinary people in the market place can't bully her.

In fact, Chen Jin was more worried about whether Xiaoqian would be stimulated by some kind of stimulus, and she would suddenly attack and bully others.

Now she is much better. If she had just come out of Lingnan, she would never dare to let Xiaoqian go in and out of the crowd alone. It was not because she was afraid that the ghost mother on her body would eat people and drink blood, but simply If it breaks out, it will cause great commotion, which will attract the patrolling department to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

All in all, trouble.

There is almost no solution to this trouble, if the mother is solved, then Xiaoqian will die too.The two have become one, inseparable.

All Chen Jin can do is to turn uncontrollable troubles into controllable ones.

Xiaoqian was by his side and was influenced by the atmosphere of the Confucian Temple, which could indeed make the mother's condition peaceful.

This is tantamount to a kind of appeasement.

However, this is a temporary solution, not the root cause. As Xiaoqian grows older, the mother in her body will also grow. At that time, simple comforting will lose its effect.

Fortunately, Chen Jin has now learned "Li Yan Pian", which can outline the literary style and rhyme, clear the mind and calm the mind, and the effect is even better.

Compared with external factors, he hopes that Xiaoqian can solve it by herself.I had no idea before, but now I have an idea.

After eating, light the oil lamp.

"Xiaoqian, are you willing to practice Buddhism?"

"Buddhism?"

Xiaoqian was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I am like this, but I can't cultivate. The ancestors of Li Village taught me not to deal with Buddhism."

It's a very simple matter. Isn't it uncomfortable for ghosts to cultivate into Buddhism?

Chen Jin said calmly: "Actually, there are many kinds of Buddhism. I have a Dharma door on hand, and I think you can learn it."

Xiaoqian blinked her eyes and said hesitantly, "Then let me try?"

"Well, try it, it's not a bad idea."

Chen Jin immediately spread out the Four Treasures of the Study, asked Xiaoqian to grind the ink, and then silently wrote "The Mantra of the White Bone Wuxiang Great Freedom".

"Look at it."

"Ah."

Xiaoqian started to read, but her head hurt before she finished a line.It's not that I was stimulated by the content, but I couldn't understand it at all, and felt a headache: "Young master, I don't understand."

Chen Jin smiled. He had expected it a long time ago, so he simply explained it word by word.

Xiaoqian listened very carefully. She has a superficial foundation, but no matter what she does, as long as she looks for it, she will be very serious.

A serious attitude can make up for many shortcomings.

What's more, her knowledge is only limited by her background, but her understanding is quite good.

After listening to Chen Jin's explanation, Xiaoqian has a certain understanding of "The Mantra of the White Bones Formless Great Freedom". The training method that actually involves the magic way matches her background as a ghost cultivator.

As Chen Jin said, she can learn this method. If she can learn it successfully and transform the ghost mother into a bone without form, then Xiaoqian will be able to be reborn, so that she can truly get rid of the curse and fate of her ancestors in Li Village, and no longer have to worry about short-term troubles. Shou died young.

This sutra is invaluable to her.

Xiaoqian suddenly leaned over and knelt down on the ground: "Thank you, my lord, for bestowing the Dharma, Xiaoqian will engrave the five words."

Chen Jin smiled and said: "Your father handed you over to me, then you are mine. I will not be mean to my own people."

Hearing this, Xiaoqian felt elated in her heart: "My lord, then I'll go to practice first."

"Okay, if you don't understand anything, ask me again."

Chen Jin also went back to his room and began to practice calligraphy with a pen.

After learning "Li Yan Pian", his daily homework has doubled, and several tasks have been added, such as reading, writing, and composition.

Next, is a very real problem.

Liyan Liyan is not just about writing books and sayings, the core must be "spread" out, spread widely, and reach the point of being well-known, and this can be considered as "establishing" the "speech".

If you close the door and write by yourself, then put it on the shelf after finishing it, even if the writing is brilliant, it is useless, it is just a pile of old papers.

If you want to spread the word, you have to set up people and make a name for yourself.

Yi Shi said: If you live in the middle of Kang frequently, you will be ugly as a clockwork; if you fall outside Sun Shan, your articles will be flawed everywhere.

It is the gist of fame and fame bonus.

In this era of dense stratification, if you are an unknown person, who will pay attention to you?
Then, go and make a name for yourself, there is nothing wrong with that.

Chen Jin never thinks that he is a person who holds his own. He has been learning in various ways and is determined to forge ahead in order to gain a foothold in this world.

As an "outsider", it is not easy, but fortunately, if you have obtained the "Sanli Jing", you can just follow the gold finger.

The next day, I took Xiaoqian and went to a street near the Confucian Temple to continue shopping for various pen and ink supplies.

Due to the daily homework, pens, inks and papers are very consumed, and a batch has to be replenished every few days.

Chen Jin didn't feel anything at all, but after careful consideration, he suddenly realized: this is not the way to go.

They all say "sit and eat", referring to the problem of daily eating and drinking, but what if there is an additional cost that can be called "luxury"?
That's not to say that all mines are empty.

At that meeting in Gaozhou Prefecture, Chen Jin was unprecedentedly wealthy, sponsored Gu Leyou, and then went out of Lingnan, spent all the way, and then went to Jiangzhou, directly bought a house, and then spent all kinds of food and drink, as well as pen and ink consumables, etc. .

Now counting the remaining banknotes and silver, I suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

According to current consumption standards, I am afraid it will last for less than a month.

Where did the money go?
Chen Jin had another soul torture.

Well, in fact, he really lacks restraint in spending his own money. He eats well, drinks well, and uses well. He rarely bargains, and he doesn't even bother to shop around.

This is not going to live.

At least not the way ordinary people live their lives.

But this is not a big problem. Chen Jin believes in himself and can make money.He has fame, is good at martial arts, and has mastered spells. If he is still starving like this, his life will be in vain.

The point is, you have to start making a living and making money.

He certainly doesn't know how to learn from Gu Leyou, and walks around the streets with a signboard as a "magic stick". Now that he has learned "Li Yan Pian", he will start from here.

"Boss, I want to engrave a seal, how much will it cost?"

Walking into a gold and stone shop, Chen Jin asked.

The boss is over sixty years old, and his long beard is white. He took a look at him and put on a smile: "That depends on what material is used and what kind of master is hired to carve. This shop is a time-honored brand and a recognized signboard in Jiangzhou. All kinds of materials are available. For preparation, there are Tian Huang, Chicken Blood, Tianshan White Jade..."

A crackling introduction.

Chen Jin listened, and found that the price of the expensive seal was outrageous, as much as dozens of taels.

And that's not even the most expensive.

The stuff in the literary and art world is really high-end.

Another visitor came to the store, a group of Confucian scholars, "acquaintances" by coincidence.

"Master Chen, let's meet again."

Cheng Ai, dressed in men's attire, said with a smile: "Are you going to engrave a seal?"

Chen Jin nodded: "Yes."

If you don't hit a smiling person with your hand, you must have basic etiquette.

Cheng Ai asked again: "Which one do you like?"

Chen Jin said: "I've got my fancy, but I can't afford it."

Hearing this, Cheng Ai couldn't help opening his mouth wide.In her impression, men are all face-saving. Even if they can't afford it, they will find an excuse to get over it. How can they admit it so directly?

"Hey, since you can't afford it, why bother to see it?"

Then Cheng Ming deliberately came to slap his face.

Chen Jin said calmly: "I'll come to the store to see, maybe I can learn some carving skills, and then I can find a stone to carve into a chapter, so I don't need to buy it."

"Carve it yourself?"

Cheng Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the Confucian scholars who were with him all laughed.

In fact, it is not uncommon to engrave seals by yourself. Some scholars from poor backgrounds could not afford good materials, so they went to the mountains and rivers to find suitable stones, and then brought them back to carve.But the stone is naturally not much better, as for the carving, it is even more sloppy, the quality of the final product can be imagined, very rough.

In Cheng Ming's view, it's okay for Chen Jin to be poor, but it's annoying to be so poor and show nobility.

Hearing the piercing laughter, Xiaoqian felt angry.

Chen Jin immediately noticed her strangeness, quickly reached out to press her shoulder, and patted lightly: "Let's go."

The two left the shop and went outside. Xiaoqian apologized, "My lord, I was impulsive just now, and I almost had a seizure."

Chen Jin said with a smile: "A little ridicule is not worth getting angry. The most important thing is that the goods in the store are flashy, and the price is not worth it."

Xiaoqian nodded obediently: "Calm down now, I think they are ridiculous."

"Let's go, stop by to buy meat, and then go home to eat. Eating meat is a happy thing."

Inside the shop, Cheng Ai said angrily, "Brother, you are mocking Mr. Chen for no reason, is it a gentleman?"

Cheng Ming spread his hands: "I just smiled, but I didn't say anything."

Cheng Ai snorted: "Mr. Chen is magnanimous. If he can't afford it, he says he can't afford it. He is upright and worthy of admiration. But you look down on people and read the sage books in vain."

Cheng Ming shouted, "I am your elder brother."

"I only reason, not relatives."

"Sister, you don't really like him, do you? This guy has a good skin, but it's useless. He's just a poor scholar. I can't marry you and suffer."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Cheng Ai blushed: "I won't tell you anymore."

Turning around and running out, on the one hand, because of shame, on the other hand, he wanted to talk to Chen Jin to make amends, but when he went outside, where was he left?
After returning to the house, dinner was settled. Seeing that the weather was very good, Chen Jin had an idea and ran out again. Not long after, he came back with an extra fishing rod in his hand.

Then I moved out a small stool, found a good place, sat by the river and started fishing.

This is one of the beauty of the river view room.

Xiaoqian went back to her room to practice "The Mantra of the White Bones Formless Great Freedom".

The sky is getting late, the moon rises, and the bright moon dips in the river, making the river view more beautiful.

I don't know if the current is too fast or the bait is not fragrant enough, but no fish has taken the bait for a long time.

He is not impatient, he should cultivate his mind and cultivate his character.The happiness of a fisherman is always very simple.

After a while, there was a gurgling sound, water splashes surged, and a huge strange head popped out.

Chen Jin is no stranger to this strange head, and now he can see it clearly. It is indeed a mottled fish head, which is obviously mutated. When the mouth is opened and closed, a row of sharp teeth can be seen.

Looking at it strangely, he waved and shouted: "Hello, those who wish to take the bait!"
