Taoist night sword

212 Chapter 211: Killing and Not Killing
The sunshine in the city was warm, and there was plenty of light in the study building.

There was a slight sound of flipping a book, and the faint sounds of pedestrians coming from outside.

This is a peaceful and stable county.

People in the city live and work in peace and prosperity.

This seems to be what people think and expect.

Is it delusional for the people to want to be peaceful and happy?Lou Jinchen didn't know how to define it for a while. After all, in the midst of heaven and earth, no matter whether it is a big man or a small man, they are all engulfed by the torrent of heaven and earth. It's just that the big man has more ability to struggle.

Lou Jinchen did not open the book, but walked towards the shopkeeper.

"The shopkeeper? What kind of book is this? Who is this Lou Jinchen?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Isn't Lou Jinchen your name? How come you don't know who it is?" the shopkeeper asked Lou Jinchen strangely.

"The shopkeeper knows me?" Lou Jinchen stared at the other party and asked.

In his eyes, the shopkeeper is a real person who can no longer be real.

"Mr. Lou, it's the first time you and I meet, how can I recognize you?" The shopkeeper asked strangely, but then suddenly said: "You are a foreigner, since you are a foreigner, why don't you go and read our book?" The signboard of the building."

So Lou Jinchen went out with the book, came to the street and looked up at the plaque.

On the plaque were written "Benming Shulou" in big characters.

"Fate?"

Lou Jinchen stood directly on the street and flipped through the book in his hand. The first page of the book read: "You came from a foreign country, and you settled in the Fire Spirit Temple outside Yushui City with a sword in your hand. The method of refining yin and yang,..."

This is actually everything he has experienced since he came to this world, and the private things that few people know are actually on it.

And the last part is about how he single-handedly set off with only one sword to sort out the affairs of the Jiangzhou government, and also to calm the Jiangzhou Mysterious Spirit Rebellion, passing through Yinxi County... to Liang County.

He frowned, returned to the library again, and said, "Does the shopkeeper know how many people have read the contents of this book?"

"It's the first time you come in, so you are naturally the first to read it. Do you want to buy it? If not, then put it back. Many people will read it in the future, and Mr. Lou's future experiences will appear in this book. superior."

Lou Jinchen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately thought that this book only appeared after he entered the building, he opened it himself, and the contents inside appeared, like a mirror, which captured his past trajectory.

I have not seen this book, there is no trace of this book, I have seen this book, this book will write the trajectory of my life.

He suddenly thought of going to a certain place for travel, and he was photographed by the other party, who called you to go and see it, and asked you to buy it after seeing it.

It’s all right if you don’t look at it, because if you don’t look at it, you don’t know, it’s as if you don’t have it, and after seeing it, this photo represents the past and a memory, but if you want to keep it by your side, you need to spend money.

"How to sell?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"You can get this book with a sincere prayer." The shopkeeper said.

"A prayer?" Lou Jinchen was both surprised and not surprised. The existence of the mysterious spirit, from illusory to real, must outline the meaning of his own existence, just like drawing on white paper, you need to outline the lines and color.

And this kind of prayer is to outline the meaning of His existence.

"Yes, as long as you pray sincerely, the people in this city will always be healthy and happy, and this city will last forever." The shopkeeper said.

"May I ask, what's the name of the shopkeeper?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Young Master Lou, you can call me Book Shopkeeper." The shopkeeper said.

"The book shopkeeper's wish is what people hope for. It's just that people have birth, old age, sickness and death. If it is as you wish, how can you call it a human being without birth, old age, sickness and death?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Why do people have to live, die, grow old, get sick and die? Don't you also practice, don't you also want to escape from birth, old age, sickness and death? You can go after it to escape this fate, why can't they?" said the book shopkeeper.

Lou Jinchen was silent.

"What's more, they are not immortal, nor are they immortal, but they no longer feel sad and painful about it." The book shopkeeper said seriously.

For a moment, Lou Jinchen didn't know how to answer.

"I'll take this book, my best wishes, and I'll give it to you later." Lou Jinchen took the book out of the library and walked on the street. People's lives were normal, and their faces were full of happiness.

Everything is in order, Lou Jinchen has never seen such a stable and happy city in this world.

After turning around, he left through the entrance again.

And the book in his hand disappeared when he left.

Lou Jinchen came all the way to Sanwei County, but all the people in this county disappeared, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

Lou Jinchen circled around, but there was no one there. He found people near the county seat, and found that nine out of ten villages were empty, and they had already moved away.

He stood in front of the newly built 'temple', and there was no aura of mysterious spirits in it, and there was no mysterious existence in this city.

He has left.

Lou Jinchen continued to go to the next city. The people in this city did not disappear, but none of them were alive. Everyone died on the bed, as if they were in a dream and could not wake up.

Lou Jinchen thought that when these people died, their souls were taken away.

He walked around again, and the villages and towns around the county seat were lifeless, empty, only bones.

Only then did Lou Jinchen feel that it was extremely rare for people in Liang County to be alive.

Came to another county.

He stood on the top of a high mountain next to the county seat, looking at the 'people' in the county seat.

Those people could no longer be called human beings. They bent their bodies one by one, or crawled on the ground.

All of them looked ashen, because they actually ate the mud on the ground. Some even baked the mud as cakes, and some put some leaves on the cakes to eat.

This is no longer a normal person, but some kind of soil-eating alien, or a native.

When Lou Jinchen was inspecting the whole city, the 'people' in the city seemed to have a sense suddenly, and all of them looked at Lou Jinchen.

At this moment, Lou Jinchen only felt as if there was Mount Tai pressing down on the top, and there was yellow dust flying in the air around him, quickly enveloping him, and the mountain under his feet seemed to open its mouth, ready to swallow him in one mouthful.

Suddenly following the eyes of the 'people' in the city, what emerged was the vitality of the earth.

Lou Jinchen drew out his sword and held the sword flower in his arms, the light of the sword passed by, and the rustic atmosphere around him turned into a golden awn.

Native gold.

The golden glow reflected the sky, and his sword was swung out, and the golden glow fell towards the city like a silk like a sword.

Every golden glow fell towards a native, and the heads of the natives were separated, but these natives held their heads one by one, hid aside, found a water source, and dipped their necks and necks. After getting wet, he took his own head back.

The earth energy around him was continuously gathering, but he was continuously transforming it into gold energy, turned into sword energy, and fell towards the city below the mountain, beheading the natives.

In the end, the sword energy was scattered too much, and its power was weakened a lot.

He was looking for that 'mysterious spirit', but he couldn't find it for a while. This 'mysterious spirit' was extremely careful. He might be any 'native' in the city, or he might have already hidden in the soil under the city.

Lou Jinchen was sure that the other party would be able to escape underground.

"Why do you want to kill us?"

The voice suddenly sounded in the city.

Suddenly so many people asked together.

"We just changed our way of life, and we didn't harm anyone. Why did you come to kill us?"

Still this question.

Lou Jinchen still didn't answer, he wanted to hear what this 'mysterious spirit' had to say.

"I heard that there is an Eyeless City where you practice. You can allow the existence of the Eyeless City, why can't you allow the existence of this place?"

Lou Jinchen frowned and said, "You know me?"

"The name of the corridor chief is like thunder, how could we not know it." The voice said again.

"Then let me tell you, there are no secret spirits in the Eyeless City. I have killed the secret spirits there, and those eyeless people are also victims. I can't bear to hurt their lives anymore, and Master Ji is willing to control them. I wish to recreate the killing karma.”

"And here, you took the initiative to turn these people into the current natives. If you killed the people in this city, you should die!"

Lou Jinchen suddenly flew out with a sword, the sword turned into a streamer, landed in the city, and stuck on the clay statue.

The mysterious light on the statue quickly dimmed.

However, the sword was not pulled out, and the brilliance circled on it, and the clay statue turned into gold and stone in the brilliance.

A beam of brilliance fell in the 'temple', Lou Jinchen had already entered, and the sword flew back to his hand.

Another sword slashed, and the head of the idol was severed.

Sure enough, as he thought, his sword failed to injure the 'mysterious spirit', Lou Jinchen was not surprised, the other party would know his name and swallow memory, they should have such abilities.

He went out to kill all these natives and purify the entire county, but he saw a native holding a child in his arms.

The child was very small, and the native man chewed up the dirt and gave it to the child in his arms.

This moved Lou Jinchen a little.

These people are indeed aliens, but these people are not life.

"The words of the corridor leader are wrong. They are not dead. They are still alive. You, the corridor leader, are only worried about us doing evil. I can swear to you that I will never leave this Huangni County, and I will not let people outside Huangni County. people become 'soil' people."

Lou Jinchen saw some natives poking their heads out of the ground, and then burrowing back into the ground. They were like fish diving.

"Do you know that I have a teacher who is good at the five elements of magic, can turn this piece of land into gold, let you be imprisoned in the land forever, and turn into gold and stone together with the earth?" Lou Jinchen stood on the long street, leaning on the sword at the ground said.

"I heard that the corridor chief was born in the Five Zang Sacred Sect. I have no doubts that there is such a brilliant five-element method in the Five Zang Sacred Sect, so I am willing to stay in Huangni County forever and never leave. If the corridor chief really wants to kill them all, Then I can only leave."

Lou Jinchen finally made a move. He was not sure that he would be able to kill the mysterious spirit hiding deep in the earth.

Since the mysterious spirit cannot be killed, there is no point in killing these dirt eaters.

Walking in the city, he found that the city had a tendency to transform like an eyeless city, and it was about to give birth to another order.

And I saw that two 'little figurines' actually made a child out of mud and water, and then kept 'huh' at the little clay figurine.

He stood there watching for half a month, and the lifeless little clay figurine began to become conscious.

When he left, he said: "I hope you restrain the 'native' people in the city. I will send a letter if something happens in the future."

He still decided to go back and discuss with others.

The last city is by the sea.

From Lou Jinchen's point of view, everything in this city is normal.

This is a city of sea lanes, but at a glance, it is not very normal.

Because there is a strange prosperity in this city.

Of course, prosperity does not equal peace.

He saw sharks coming from the sea, even natives, ghosts, eyeless people, and some strange spirits. He even saw spirits in the form of five immortals in the fish mountain.

They are either doing business, performing arts, or patrolling the streets in official clothes.

This is a free city where all races coexist.

When Lou Jinchen walked in, no one noticed him, and there were not a few monks like him.

There is no one guarding the tax money to enter the city at the gate of the city.

He walked on the street and found that most of the transactions were carried out in the form of barter.

And between different spirits, the same bargaining was made, but it was controlled within a boundary line that did not fight.

A few dog-headed men holding iron halberds walked through the street, and the quarreling spirits would immediately quiet down, and when they passed by, they would raise their voices again.

These aliens with dog heads and human bodies actually became official servants patrolling the streets here.

Lou Jinchen doesn't know how they got here, but he can be sure that this city must be connected with that dog kingdom.

However, the smell everywhere here is really bad, and the ground is also dirty, Lou Jinchen suspects that the alleys should be full of defecation.

At this time, he saw a painted skin shop, and the name of the painted skin shop even had two big characters of 'Lou's'.

Lou Jinchen raised his eyebrows, thinking of a possibility.

This store is not small, but there are three signs crowded, which are the Painted Skin Hall, the Painted Photo Hall and the Yin Piercing Hall.

It's like opening a store together with others, in order to save rent.

The steps in front of this door were very clean, after Lou Jinchen walked in, he could even smell the fragrance.

He saw the bright red flowers blooming in the corner, exuding a strong fragrance.

That's right, this is indeed Lou Jiling's taste, but her taste is just right here, covering up the smell outside.

"Guest officer, do you want a portrait or a tattoo or do you want to buy a painted skin?"

A woman greeted her with a smile. She looked very beautiful, but she had no eyebrows, and her smile was very stiff. Two spots on her mouth were red like blood, which made people look extremely weird.

Lou Jinchen glanced at her, frowned and said, "How can you sell such a painted skin on your body?"

The woman who greeted the guests smiled and said: "Guest officer, you may not know that this is the latest popular style here. It belongs to our boss. There are already three people who want to buy our kind of painted skins." After a month."

"If the guest officer wants it, it may take a while."

Lou Jinchen smiled, and was even more certain in her heart that she must be right for such an aesthetic, so she said, "Go and tell your employer that an old friend is visiting."
