Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 153 Self-enlightenment "The Method of Burning Paper with Thoughts"

In the bleak wind and rain, Gu Leyou returned to Yunshan Temple.

This is a small Taoist temple, the incense is weak, there is not much land, and the life is tight, it is not as good as the Izumo Temple on Wuling.

The presiding Taoist Baiguan is old and in poor health. He has two apprentices: the first apprentice "Su Yun" is an orphan adopted since childhood, and he was raised as a successor; the second apprentice "Nie Feng" is a disciple of a layman, whose father He is the chief escort of Jiangzhou Zhenfeng Escort Bureau.

Taoist Baiguan is a casual cultivator, and he knows a few sets of boxing and kicking kung fu, but his housekeeping skill is light kung fu, called "Jiamabu", which is extremely fast when performed.

This skill is derived from one of the earth's evil techniques, "Spiritual Movement". After it is practiced, it is quite a feat to be able to ride a armored horse and travel [-] miles a day, or even [-] miles a day.

Because of this skill and means, Su Yun became an "urgent messenger" in the Jiangzhou post office, the person responsible for sending urgent documents.Belonging to the staff in the establishment, the income is acceptable.

But this kind of work requires frequent business trips, which may take several days.

The second apprentice Nie Feng returned to the Escort Bureau to help out after leaving the army, and became an Escort Master.

During a mission, Gu Leyou got acquainted with Su Yun. The two had similar backgrounds and temperaments, and they soon became friends.Knowing that Gu Leyou has just arrived and has no place to stay, Su Yun warmly invites him to come to Yunshan Temple to place an order.

Gu Leyou didn't want to go to the city to disturb Chen Jin, so he agreed and took Liu Yuan to live in the Taoist temple.

Back at the Taoist temple, a short-bearded young man in his 20s was waiting there. It was Nie Feng: "Brother Gu Dao, why are you alone?"

Gu Leyou sighed: "My friend is not feeling well, sick, so he can't come to help."

"Get ill?"

Nie Feng was startled, surprised.

The Zhenfeng Escort recently picked up a very valuable escort, in order to make sure nothing would go wrong, he returned to the Taoist temple and prepared to ask his senior brother to escort him.Unexpectedly, Su Yun just happened to be on a business trip and had no time for another person, so he recommended Gu Leyou.

Gu Leyou is a busy person, and he gets paid, so he naturally agreed.Hearing that Nie Feng said that he still needs competent people, he immediately thought of Chen Jin, who wanted to call the scholar to go darts with him, it was lively and lively.Unexpectedly, Chen Jin fell ill, so he had to give up.

Before Nie Feng, Gu Leyou praised Chen Jin's abilities a lot.

Nie Feng was dubious about this, thinking that Gu Leyou was bragging, but now that he heard that Chen Jin would not get sick, he was even more certain.

If it's a real celebrity, how can they fall ill so easily?

Gu Leyou asked: "When will this escort leave?"

Nie Feng said vaguely: "I can't be sure yet, anyway, brother Dao Gu can come to my escort agency tomorrow."

Escorts carry goods, especially valuables, and key factors such as the route and time of the escort have to be kept secret, and only a few core personnel in the Escort know about it.Before departure, let alone tell others about it, so as not to leak it.

Gu Leyou also knew the rules, just asked casually.

Nie Feng still had something to do, so he went to say goodbye to his master, Taoist Baiguan, and left in a hurry.

Watching his back, Gu Leyou sighed.

Low-level cultivators like them are really busy with all kinds of work.The problem is that at the end of the busy work, I suddenly realized that I was still empty-handed...

In contrast, Gu Leyou is considered to have the shadow of his seniors, and he became the master of the temple at a young age.With Wuling's current situation, staying in Lingnan, he would not have to worry about food and drink, and he could live a carefree life.

It's just that the young Taoist priests were unwilling to be ordinary, unwilling to be mediocre for a lifetime, so they chose to leave, left Lingnan, and entered the Central Plains, wanting to break out of the world.

Breaking through often means starting all over again, and everything has to be worked hard.

Nie Feng's family has a bodyguard bureau, which is considered a well-to-do family. However, according to him, the current situation has been turbulent in recent years, and the dangers have doubled. Darts are expensive, so he looks everywhere for manpower.

With his family like this, it is not easy to find a real master, and it is not easy to hire them.

Gu Leyou was introduced by senior brother Su Yun, so he couldn't see the details, but he didn't look like a master, so he could only make do with it, one more person, one more strength.

Gu Leyou didn't mind the other party's opinion. He was still worried about Chen Jin. He didn't know what kind of problem it was. He looked like a scholar, and he definitely wouldn't be relaxed.

It's just helpless, he really can't help.

"Brother Guanzhu, Mr. Chen is sick?"

Liu Yuan asked with concern.

Gu Leyou nodded, and changed the subject: "I will go to the city tomorrow to sell goods with the escort agency. You stay in the Taoist temple alone, but you have to take good care of the old host."

The old host is Taoist Baiguan. He is over sixty years old, which is not considered old for a cultivator. It's just that his practice went wrong, causing his body to age prematurely and collapsed badly. limp.

Due to many problems, Baiguan Taoist's daily life is a problem and needs someone to take care of him.However, there are no Taoist boys in Yunshan Temple. There used to be some, but life was hard and they couldn't learn anything. Those Taoist boys all ran away.

Now in the Taoist temple, there is a servant sent by Nie Feng to wait on him.

After living in the Taoist temple, he met the old abbot. Gu Leyou couldn't help but think of his master, so he offered to help, and together with Liu Yuan, he took care of Baiguan Taoist's daily life when he had time.

Liu Yuan hastily agreed to Brother Guanzhu's order. As a Taoist boy, he is good at taking care of others, so it's nothing.

……

The winter rain is lingering, and it never stops from morning to night.

Dinner is beef stewed soybeans.

The beef was bought by Xiaoqian after going to two markets, it was really difficult for her.

Xiaoqian said that Chen Jin's symptoms are chills and chills, so he needs to eat more beef and mutton to replenish his blood.

This statement is not entirely true.

There was nothing wrong with Chen Jin's body, but his fear of the cold was caused by delusions and he couldn't help it.

It can be seen from this that the erosion and pollution suffered by Shensoul has already seriously affected it.

In the evening, after the study closed, Chu Xiucai came here once, mainly to visit and report on the business affairs of the shop.

In the past few days, Chen Jin has not been to the study.If he doesn't go, Xiaoqian naturally won't go either.

It can be said that all the sales in the store are handed over to Chu Xiucai.

Chu Xiucai is a down-to-earth person, hardworking and reliable, so he doesn't need to worry about doing anything wrong.

In fact, such a bookstore does not have much to do. After the temple fair, it is the off-season, and the business is very deserted. After a day, it does not make a few pennies.

A while ago, with the help of the titles of "The Man with Wider Clothes" and "The Lord of Fangcao at the End of the World", he brought a lot of traffic to Sanwei Study, but Chen Jin has a dull temperament and doesn't like to socialize, and there will be no new words coming out later. , The heat slowly passed, and everything returned to normal.

Chu Xiucai was very concerned about Chen Jin's condition and thought he had a cold.

The disease of wind-cold is neither serious nor minor. If the body is weak, if it can't bear it, it will even die.

Chu Xiucai didn't know about Chen Jin's situation, so he couldn't help but feel worried. What if the young master really made a mistake?
Chen Jin didn't care about his wild thoughts there, as long as he let him take care of the shop with peace of mind.

Chu Xiucai said again: "My lord, recently I heard that the Maitreya Sect has started to wander around and collect money again. How should I deal with it when I come to the door of the store?"

Chen Jin frowned. The resurgence of these congregants is really hard to stop. After thinking for a while, "You can pay the money as usual, so as to save trouble."

Hearing this, Chu Xiucai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Chen Jin was ill, I shouldn't bother him with this matter, but after all, it involved the issue of spending money, and Chu Xiucai didn't dare to make up his mind without the approval of his boss.

Originally, he was worried that Chen Jin would humiliate others by giving a penny like last time, but Chu Xiucai would be the only one at that time, and he really didn't have the confidence to deal with what happened.With his temperament and identity, he only wished to calm things down.

After sending Chu Xiucai away, Xiaoqian suddenly said, "My lord, how about I go and get rid of them?"

"They" are the people of Maitreya Sect.

Chen Jin asked: "How to solve it?"

"Kill it."

Xiaoqian was very calm when she spoke, without the slightest murderous intent, but when people listened to her, combined with her delicate world-weary face, it made people feel shuddering.

Chen Jin smiled: "This kind of killing method is not clean."

"Then come and kill a batch."

Xiaoqian continued.

Chen Jin stared at her suddenly, as if a flower had grown on her face.

Xiaoqian's cheeks felt slightly hot: "My lord, what's the matter?"

Chen Jin asked seriously: "Xiaoqian, is there something wrong with your practice of mantras?"

Xiaoqian shook her head and said blankly, "No."

"Really?"

"Anyway, I don't feel it...Young Master, why do you ask such a question?"

Chen Jin said: "During this journey, you never said you wanted to kill anyone, and you could restrain yourself when you sensed the smell of blood. But now, you want to kill someone."

Xiaoqian hurriedly said: "I just want to help the young master and not let those people bother you."

Chen Jinyu said earnestly: "Xiaoqian, your situation is special. Once you see blood, you will not be able to bear it. If you arouse your mother's fierceness, it will be difficult to suppress it. At that time, the real trouble will be .”

Xiaoqian lowered her head: "Oh, son, I understand."

Chen Jin couldn't help reaching out to stroke her hair, and rubbed it: "You cook for me every day, that's the biggest help."

"But son, besides washing and cooking, I can do other things. Don't forget, I'm also a practitioner."

As she spoke, she raised her clenched fist to prove that she possessed extraordinary strength.

Chen Jin has no doubts about this. The girl looks weak, but the ghost mother in her body is extremely powerful. The specific strength can be described as "unfathomable".

Anyway, Chen Jin Kaifa watched it twice before, and left a very deep and shocking impression.

However, the mother is the mother, and Xiaoqian is Xiaoqian. Although the two are one, they are not truly integrated. To a certain extent, the mother is a strange power sealed in Xiaoqian's body.

This force is uncontrollable.

In the past, due to various unstable situations, Xiaoqian couldn't eat well and sleep well, her body was seriously affected, and she even didn't live to be 15 years old.

That's why Old Ghost Li handed her over to Chen Jin, willing to be a maid.

The current situation has improved greatly and has gradually stabilized. If Xiaoqian went to kill at this time, all previous efforts would be wasted.

It was because it was not Xiaoqian who killed her, but her mother.

It is unknown what will happen to the mother after drinking blood, but it will definitely not be good.

So how could Chen Jin allow her to kill someone?
In Xiaoqian's situation, she needs to practice the "Bones Without Phase Great Freedom Mantra", so that her mother and bones can become one and become completely controllable. Only then can she break the seal.

But that is by no means an easy task, it requires unremitting practice, as well as opportunities for comprehension.

Xiaoqian's murderous thoughts were dispelled, but the subconscious hostility was still difficult to eliminate, and this could only be done through daily subtlety.

It is quite suitable for reading and writing, as well as grinding ink for Chen Jin.

Chen Jin was attacked by evil thoughts and tortured, and he also needed to write various words to vent.

He wanted to use pen and ink to attach the evil thought to it, write it on paper, and then burn it with fire.

This is a kind of practice method, which is closely related to "collecting clothes and refining qi".

As we all know, "visualization and induction" and "gathering and refining qi" belong to the two fundamental laws of this world, and they can be called the root of all laws.No matter what kind of technique, it can be summarized into these two categories, and related explanations can be obtained.

Chen Jin's writing method is derived from the "Sanlijing", and the expression method derived from it is essentially to visualize various ideas, turn them into brush and ink, and transform them from the inner landscape to the reality, so as to be resolved.

In layman's terms, it is equal to a kind of excretion.

For example, if you eat too much, you will feel full, your stomach will be bloated, and your stomach will be damaged, so you need to relieve or relieve.

That's what it means.

In the "Sanlijing", this method is not clearly recorded, but it is a method that Chen Jin finally thought of after tossing and turning when he was suffering from evil thoughts and pollution and it was difficult to solve it.

It can be regarded as an attempt to write the word "town" and "ding" from the very beginning.

I tried a lot, accumulated experience, gradually became familiar with it, and slowly took shape.

This is actually a technique that he realized on his own. It is rooted in "Li Yan Pian", and can find a basis in the fundamental method of "gathering clothes and refining Qi".

Since there is taking clothes, there is naturally excretion, and the two are inseparable.

Just like breathing out the Dharma.

After all, taking clothes is not necessarily active, it may be passive, or it may be wrong to take clothes in a disordered situation.

In that case, there must be a relevant solution.

A living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine...

After self-enlightenment came up with this method, Chen Jin gave it a name, which is simple and clear, and it is called "Mind Burning Paper Method".

Mind is a very broad concept, including various moods, including various thoughts.

And when these thoughts are transformed into concrete images with brush and ink, they need to be further processed, and burning is the best way to purify.

Of course, due to the short period of time, this method is still only a prototype, and the effect is average.

Right now, it seems powerless to deal with evil thoughts. It has some effect, but it is not obvious enough.

It may be that the method is not perfect enough, or it may be that the evil thoughts are too strong...

No matter what, Chen Jin felt that he couldn't procrastinate like this any longer. The longer he procrastinated, the worse it would be for him.

After writing the words, put all the words in an iron bucket and burn them.

Xiaoqian said: "Master, why don't I stay here tonight? I don't trust you."

Chen Jin hurriedly said, "No, you can go back to your room and rest."

"Oh, if something happens, you can just call..."

Xiaoqian left reluctantly.

Chen Jin began to meditate and breathe.

When it was late at night, he suddenly opened his eyes, listened to the movement around him, then took out the incense from the pot of heaven and lit it.

The guardian god of incense and fire, the Yin god came out of his body, and went straight to Jiangzhou Confucian Temple.

　It's late, but God bless...
