Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 152
From autumn to winter, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is much colder than that in the south of the Five Ridges, and it is cold and humid, with wind and rain, and it never stops.

In the Jiang'an house, there was a pot of charcoal fire in the room, which was steaming.

Chen Jin was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, with a touch of sickly paleness on his delicate cheeks.

he is sick.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, but Chen Jin's illness is a bit unusual.

He has cultivated the third level of martial arts, cleansing the marrow of the Book of Changes, his qi and blood are transpiring, and the cold and heat are hard to invade. Even if he wears single clothes on a snowy day, he will not feel cold.

But now, there is a charcoal fire burning in the room, and the body is covered with a quilt, but the whole person is shivering, shivering from the cold.

With a babble, the door opened, and Xiaoqian walked in, holding a bowl of hot mutton soup in her hand.

This soup has been simmering for more than two hours, and the soup is white with green onion flowers floating in it, and has a strong aroma.

"My lord, have some soup."

Looking at her, Chen Jin said: "Xiaoqian, you have worked hard these few days."

"What did you say, young master? I am your maid, isn't it normal to serve you?"

After a pause, Xiaoqian said worriedly: "My lord, how about I invite a doctor to take a look at you?"

Chen Jin shook his head: "The doctor can't treat my disease."

To be precise, what he suffered from was not a disease, but a series of problems caused by the erosion of Yin and evil in the inner landscape of his soul.

The root of this matter lies in the unknown malicious attack on the Confucian Temple last time. When I checked the Confucian Temple in Niwan Palace, I found that gray-black "moss" had grown. "Li Yan Pian" appeared more like being soaked in water. stained.

This is a classic sign of erosion and filth.

The spiritual world of a person is very mysterious. When one steps into the path of practice and makes it concrete, it becomes clear.

Chen Jin is very clear about the problem that happened to him, but knowing it is one thing, and being able to solve it is another.

Ordinary medicine stones are useless, and using the Yin God to resist them has little effect. The crux of the problem is that the erosion and pollution were directly produced inside the Confucian Temple, which is quite a bit of a "disaster for the wall".

A strong fortress is easiest to breach from within.

That's it.

Fortunately, due to the hot sale of "33 Anthology", various editions are flying all over the sky, and the literary spirit and charm continue to flow.

For the interior landscape of the Confucian Temple, Wenqi charm is equivalent to glue paint, which can be used for painting and bonding, which greatly delays the deterioration of the situation.

However, after winter, Chen Jin discovered that the maliciousness that he thought had been suppressed began to make trouble again, acting strangely.

So there is this "disease".

That malice was like a gangrene, and it couldn't be cured.

He didn't know what the other party was, just the appearance of this in the Jiangzhou Confucian Temple was worth thinking about.

Since then, Jiangzhou Confucian Temple has become a taboo in Chen Jin's mind, but now it seems that the person who tied the bell must be untied. If you want to solve the root cause, you have to go to the Confucian Temple to find out.

After drinking the mutton soup, my body felt warmer.

Xiaoqian took the bowl away, and after a while, Gu Leyou's voice came, followed by hurried footsteps, before the person arrived, the voice came first: "Scholar, are you sick?"

It was raining lightly outside, and Gu Leyou was covered with a thick cotton robe, and some places were wet, bringing a chill.

When he came to the door, he heard Xiaoqian talk about Chen Jin's illness, and he became anxious all of a sudden.

It's normal for people to get sick, but when someone like Chen Jin gets sick, it means something serious. It's probably an emergency or a serious illness.

Entering the room, looking at the haggard Chen Jin, Gu Leyou was even more concerned: "What's going on? The last time I saw you, you were fine."

The last time he said it was almost a month ago.

In order to get a foothold in Jiangzhou and work hard to make a career, the Taoist priests worked very hard, offering rewards all the time, running around all the time, and it took a long time to meet Chen Jin when he entered the city.

Chen Jin sat up: "There are some problems in practice."

But I didn't tell Gu Leyou in detail, this is an internal matter of the Confucian Temple, Gu Leyou can't help, so why worry him?
Hearing this, Gu Leyou was very worried: "Cultivation problems are not trivial, especially for those who have no master's background like them. Even if something happens, there is no one to ask for advice."He thought that Chen Jin practiced too fast and something went wrong.

In the past, Master Izumo Taoist had repeatedly warned Gu Leyou that the way of practice should be done slowly, avoiding greed and impetuosity.You must know that once the carrying capacity of the Yin God is exceeded, delusions will arise and lead to madness.

The consequences of this obsession not only refer to paralysis of the body, or dementia, but also the possibility of becoming a "human demon", which means falling into the devil's way, and finally become human and ghosts.

Heretics, exorcising methods, such people and demons are not uncommon.

So along the way, Gu Leyou's cultivation has been quite cautious and steady.

On the other hand, Chen Jin is really moving fast, and what he has learned is even more chaotic and dazzling.

A long time ago, Gu Leyou warned him not to chew too much.

No, something went wrong?

But now, it's pointless to blame those again, the matter has come to this point, what Chen Jin needs is relief.

Chen Jin glanced at him and said suddenly, "My problem is not what you think."

Gu Leyou blinked: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Hehe, you can always tell a little bit."

Gu Leyou frowned: "So, you have been attacked by evil spirits?"

He is also a practitioner, and there are only a few difficult questions in total, which can be easily guessed.

Chen Jin nodded: "Almost."

Gu Leyou straightened up immediately: "Scholar, this is your fault. You were attacked, how could you hide it from me and bear it alone? Although our family is sloppy, we can help you in the end."

Chen Jin sighed: "I can't figure out what happened this time, and others can't do anything."

Hearing what he said, Gu Leyou was helpless.

In terms of cultivation, the current Chen Jin is already above him, if Chen Jin finds it difficult, it is really not an ordinary thing.

Gu Leyou sat down, had a conversation with Chen Jin, and then left.

Watching his back, Chen Jin was thoughtful.

Although Gu Leyou didn't say it out loud, Chen Jin could tell that the Taoist priest came to the door today, and he must have something to ask for. Most likely, he encountered difficulties in the mission and wanted to ask for help.But seeing that Chen Jin was ill, he couldn't open his mouth naturally.

This is probably a friend.

If he was healthy, Chen Jin would take action, but in the current situation, he was too busy to take care of himself.

The inner landscape Confucian Temple has been eroded and polluted, and the impact is too great. It is reflected that the spiritual level of the whole person becomes unstable.

Under such circumstances, it is quite difficult for the yin spirit to get out of the body. It is possible to come out, but the risks will be doubled during the time of coming out, and various uncontrollable factors will appear, and it is very likely that you will never come back.

There is no other reason, that is, there is something wrong with the Confucian Temple, which was originally responsible for guarding and caring. It is like a turtle's back shell cracked, and the fragility of the body is suddenly exposed.

Yinshen is restricted, so the technique is naturally greatly affected, and it suddenly fails to work.

Right now, Chen Jin can still use it well, probably because of the sword moves of "Eight Swords of Yongzi".

Even if these sword moves are really to be used, if the emotions lose control, they will be completely deformed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help heaving a long sigh: Since mastering the "Sanlijing", although he has encountered some setbacks along the way, he has never been hit like he is now.

A sense of frustration arises spontaneously, and the meaning of irritability is like a tumbling tide, which makes the head ache.

"It's started again..."

Frustration, irritability... are all delusions, which bring violent side effects to people. If they cannot be controlled, the whole person will become a different person, and even lead to self-destruction.

This is no joke.

Many seemingly strong people have been destroyed in this way.

Chen Jin got up quickly, sat down in front of the desk, took out the seven-star inkstone, and prepared to study ink and write.

Hearing the movement, Xiaoqian immediately ran in: "My lord, why didn't you call me?"

Chen Jin smiled: "I don't need to trouble you every time."

Xiaoqian stared at him intently: "My lord, do you dislike me for not doing well?"

"What's wrong?"

"If not, why don't you let me do these things?"

Chen Jin said: "You are so busy that you have delayed your practice."

Xiaoqian put on a world-weary face, and said seriously: "My life is all given by you, so what is it if you delay your cultivation? What's more, this method is also given by you. If I can't take care of you, no matter how good I am, What's the point?"

Chen Jin: "..."

Was speechless.

Xiaoqian rolled up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white wrists, and began to grind ink.

Chen Jin asked casually: "How is your mantra practiced?"

"It went well, and my mother didn't resist. It should be regarded as an introduction, but the content of the following formulas is quite difficult to understand, and I can't understand it."

"Didn't I say that if you don't understand, you can ask me anytime?"

Xiaoqian curled her lips: "During this period of time, which day are you free? You don't take me to play when you go out."

Chen Jin: "..."

That's true, for the matter of making a statement, I'm really busy in all kinds of ways, and I basically can't take care of other aspects.

Immediately said: "I'm free now, you can talk about it."

Xiaoqian was taken aback: "But you are sick."

"My illness is not a problem. If I think about other things properly, it may make me feel happier."

"Well, good, there is a saying in the formula, 'The bone is not white, there is no form and there is a form', how to understand and study it?"

Chen Jin thought for a while before answering: "This sentence has to be analyzed in conjunction with the context."

As for the "Bones with No Phase Great Freedom Mantra", he had read it on the monk's robe before, but after so long, he had already forgotten about it.Firstly, because the content of this mantra is difficult to pronounce, it is difficult to remember; secondly, because the ideas expressed in the mantra are often in conflict with Confucian temples, it is harmful to memorize them, it is better to forget them.

After Xiaoqian practiced, she memorized it by rote, but she was familiar with it by heart, and she recited a large passage of the context with her mouth open.

After Chen Jin listened to it, he suddenly found that he couldn't understand it.

The literal meaning can be clarified, but the secrets of the method, the literal meaning and the actual operation are often not equal, and the individual's understanding plays an important role in the practice. The so-called "mind determines the direction of development".

Therefore, during the inheritance period of various earth evil Nuo techniques, many versions will be derived, which seem to be similar, but in fact there are differences.

To put it bluntly, the same sentence can be understood this way or that way, which one is right and which one is wrong?

Perhaps using right or wrong to measure judgment is not the right starting point.

When a teacher teaches students, he uses what the teacher thinks is right to guide and regulate the students' words and deeds. After the students fully accept it, it is equivalent to following the teacher's path.

This is called "school".

Schools, temples, and martial arts inheritance are essentially the same thing.

The problem is that Chen Jin can't learn "The Mantra of the White Bone Formless Great Freedom", so how can he be Xiaoqian's teacher?

As long as he analyzes and narrates the mantra through his mouth, his understanding and viewpoint will inevitably be brought in, and the truth that he finally speaks will not be so pure.

It can't be said that it is wrong, but it depends on whether it is suitable for Xiaoqian's understanding.

If it doesn't fit, it's wrong.

After realizing this, Chen Jin was shocked suddenly, vaguely, as if he had realized something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

He only made sure of one thing: being a good teacher is not a good thing, but it might lead to misleading students...

This situation is completely different from the last time when Chen Jin asked Yan Nanfei for advice face to face. What Yan Nanfei expounded was the basic theory of martial arts, which belonged to the category of common sense.

Common sense and knowledge are two different things.

Common sense is something that everyone recognizes and thinks that it should be done; as for knowledge, what everyone sees and what each heart thinks is different.

So Chen Jin told Xiaoqian about this.

The girl was in a cloud of mist, how could she understand it?
I thought to myself: I asked the young master a question, but the question was not solved, but more questions were created, it was too complicated.

It's hard being a student...

……

Wang's Lane, the main residence of the Wang family.

The head of the family, Wang Zhixiang, called the backbone of the clan back for a meeting, the main content of which was to pay the annual tribute.

Previously, it was agreed with Eunuch Zhan that the two parties would join hands to seize the rare treasures of the Confucian Temple as a tribute for the year.But the strange treasure was indeed born, but no one got it, and the whole night of busy work was in vain.

After the temple fair, Mrs. Wang did not give up, and secretly dispatched a large number of people to search around to see if someone had obtained the cultural treasure, but they found nothing, so they had to give up.

Without cultural treasures, Sui Gong could only be selected from Wang's treasury and escorted to Beijing.

This matter involves the interests of the whole family, so naturally there must be a meeting for discussion and everyone to vote.

At the meeting, various voices, disputes, and quarrels were unavoidable, but fortunately, a plan acceptable to all houses was finally proposed, and it was finally passed.

After the meeting, Wang Zhixiang stopped Wang Yujun who was about to leave, and the father and son came to the study.

"Jun'er, my father received a message this morning, and I think I should tell you."

Wang Yujun was taken aback: "Father, is this news related to me?"

Wang Zhixiang looked strange: "Maybe it's related, maybe it's not."

Wang Yujun was confused: "Please tell me clearly, father."

"Jiang Chang is dead."

"what!"

Wang Yujun was surprised, but he didn't feel too much. Although he and Jiang Chang were both among the four great talents in Jinling, he and Jiang Chang didn't have a deep friendship, and they didn't have much contact. He asked casually, "How did you die?"

It stands to reason that Jiang Chang was in his prime and had an official status, so how could he die suddenly?

Wang Zhixiang lowered his voice: "According to the intelligence description, Jiang Chang died strangely. One night, while he was writing at his desk, his head suddenly exploded, like a watermelon smashed by a stone..."

　Although the Internet is disconnected, but fortunately there is a mobile phone hotspot, so I quickly connect to update, keep full attendance, and keep my job...
