Taoist night sword

Chapter 218 217: Challenge

He decided to refine the five-color clay first.

Five-color mud He took the energy of the five elements and mixed it into the five-color mud.

But it's easy to disperse, he can't really change the real thing after all.

Of course, the five-color soil has the most elements of earth, gold, and water. Among them, the earth is the most, and the gold and water are scarce.

But the five colors have a certain symbolic effect.

Lou Jinchen thought again, the nature of earth is actually an excellent seal.

The soil is thick and can bear everything. The soil is piled up to form a mountain, and the mountain suppresses the earth, which means suppression.

So he thought, take soil as the main body, and then the other four behaviors are auxiliary guards.

However, he thought again, taking the mountain as the town, and he didn't have a strong comprehension of the magic rhyme of the mountain, so he thought again, it's better to make the town the house.

This court is the county government, and the county government symbolizes the attachment of the people of a place, and it is based on the hearts of the people of a place.

The people's will can suppress the gods, and over time, they can reshape this mysterious spirit and turn it into something that is beneficial to the people. Although there are many different people in this place, if they open their hearts, they can be regarded as the people under the rule.

This idea changed again and again, and finally decided to use this county government office as the town.

He needs to paint a picture of the entire Xinhaixiang County on the wall behind the court.

So Lou Jiling was called and asked him to paint the wall behind the 'county magistrate' first, and then asked him to paint on the wall with mud.

Lou Jiling was very interested. After thinking about it for a while, she started to draw a night view of Xinhaixiang County.

The different paints on the picture are actually embellished into green hills, small rivers, lights, houses, streets, and crowds.

"It's really good." Lou Jinchen couldn't help but praise, and Lou Jiling snorted triumphantly.

However, Lou Jinchen mixed the five-color mud again and began to spread it on the body of the 'County Magistrate'. The mud wrapped in the 'County Magistrate' slowly formed a statue of a god.

Lou Jinchen captured the vitality of the soil and poured it into the soil. The soil, together with the iron chains on the 'county magistrate', wrapped it up.

Native gold, under his five-element spell, the soil seems to have grown entangled iron chains like roots.

He replaced the wooden board under his feet with dirt pedals, and wrapped his feet so that his feet were connected to the ground.

If it is connected to the earth, then this earthy nature will continue endlessly, and the earth will produce gold. Although he connected the earthy nature with the iron chain, he still produced a breath of lung gold, tied it into a thread, and wrapped it around On the statue, it is like a golden and white thread, tightly bound.

He took another four gold pots and put the four feet of the 'county magistrate' seat in it.

Gold produces water, and water produces wood.

But water is still ordinary water, and wood is still ordinary wood.

He just needs to turn the wood into a fire.

At this point, Lou Jinchen thought again.

Because there is only fire left.

So he told people that he needed three oil lamps and an incense burner that had been used in people's homes.

So not long after, someone found the censer and three oil lamps, saying they were all used for more than five years.

Lou Jinchen held it in his hand, because some oil lamps looked thick with oil stains.

In his opinion, this fire should not be ordinary fire, nor should it be sky fire, which is too domineering and cold, but should be earthly incense.

He also took pictures of the air of the wood spirit into the chair under the seat of the 'County Magistrate', and the chair that had not been around for a long time actually sprouted buds.

Lou Jinchen put the oil lamp on, and asked someone to bring water from the well, and asked everyone present to pour a little into it.

And after that, someone brought the fire from the stove in the nearby people's home, lit the three lamps placed on the desk, and under the guidance of Lou Jinchen's thoughts, people outside the court seemed to see this scene. The originally gloomy courtroom suddenly became brighter.

Lou Jinchen asked someone to bring incense again, lit it on the fire, and then blew out the open flame. The statue worshiped, but he did not worship the statue, but this court, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

The sparks on the incense flickered, as if forming a certain echo with the court.

Lou Jinchen asked the people present to come forward and offer incense.

And Lou Jinchen stretched out his hands in the golden basin and wet his hand, and then grabbed a handful in the void, as if there was a flame on the water.

Seeing him waving his hand towards the mural, a little water mist fell on the mural, and it seemed to ignite the colors in the mural for a moment.

In particular, the county government office in the middle of the mural was lit, and the red in the colorful mud seemed to become the lights of thousands of families.

Lou Jinchen breathed a sigh of relief. For him, setting up this formation is difficult and easy, and every key is within his ability, but the key is the way of thinking.

The five elements are all here, and he needs to link them together to form a magic circle.

He drew out his sword, and quickly carved two vertical characters on the pillar next to it.

"The five elements continue to bind secret demons, and the incense burns continuously to worship the gods."

Then, he re-wrote a prayer to worship the gods, telling heaven and earth that his goal was to tell the entire Xinhai Lane City that the court had been converted into a 'sacred temple', and a statue of a god was enshrined in it.

Originally, the county magistrate's positioning of this "mysterious spirit" was a god who reconciles the weather.

Because people here often go to sea, people here need to be able to understand the existence of ocean weather, and the sea is dangerous, so people often go to a temple to ask for blessings when they go to sea.

The county magistrate moved the "gods" worshiped by the temple to the court.

There is no county magistrate here, and Lou Jinchen found that everyone seems to be in good order, and he didn't force everyone to elect a county magistrate, and he didn't care who is behind to jointly maintain this place.

But he still publicly announced Lou Jiling as the head of the temple here, which means telling everyone that Lou Jiling belongs to her.

She doesn't have to do anything, she just needs to guard the court every day.

Then he told Hai Zhicheng of Sihai Trading Company who was standing in the crowd that if he wanted revenge, he should go to Jiangzhou Mansion, where he would wait for their people.

After that, he wandered around Xinhai Lane City for a few days, but he didn't see if the escaped secret spirits were hiding here, and then left.

When Lou Jinchen was still there, Lou Jiling didn't seem to care about being the head of the temple at all. After Lou Jinchen left, she immediately entered the county government office to live.

Not long after, there were several painted skin men in the county government.

And the back house of the county government has become a little more weird.

Of course, his painting leather shop is still open, but he doesn't make it there, he just sells it there.

Lou Jinchen didn't go back to Jiangzhou directly, he was walking along the coastline, going up and north.

I saw a Taoist temple on a cliff. There is no statue in the Taoist temple, but a banner.

There are dots of stars embroidered on the flag, in this night sky, it seems to be connected with the stars in that sky.

Looking at the layout of the temple, one can tell at a glance that this is made by using the black banner as a god image.

Looking at the flickering blue light on the black flag, I feel the condensed brilliance of the stars in this place.

And under the god banner, there is a thin middle-aged Taoist sitting there practicing, the starlight hangs down on his body, as if it has penetrated into his body.

Lou Jinchen hid there, only watched for a while, and then opened his eyes to Convenience, and said, "I don't know which fellow Taoist came to Xiaoguan."

Lou Jinchen didn't hide any more, revealed his figure, and said, "Huolingguan Lou Jinchen, I have met fellow Taoist."

He didn't put himself on the line of Huafu Ling, he was obviously a scholar of Qing Dynasty.

Then the Taoist stood up, clasped his fists and said: "It turns out that the Daifu Lord has come, the small temple is simple and shabby, and there is no room for hospitality, I hope the Daifu Lord will forgive me."

His temple is really small, there is only one room in the small one, there is not even a place to eat and drink.

Maybe he doesn't eat at all, bigu, so don't pee and shit.

On a cliff, a small Taoist temple, with its back facing the sea breeze and facing the starry sky, sits here alone and quietly practicing.

Lou Jinchen suddenly felt a little longing in his heart.

Everyone has times when they need to be alone. If they feel irritable, uneasy, restless, they can try to come to such a high mountain, away from the crowds, and face the starry sky.

"It is a beautiful thing to be able to meet here, like drinking sweet springs, and let me know that there are still pure cultivators like fellow Taoists in this world."

"I once heard people say that Loufuling is a young swordsman with a strong temperament. Now that I see it, I realize that the rumors are wrong. Loufuling has an aura that is harmonious with yin and yang, and his aura is not overbearing. He is a true swordsman. A monk."

Lou Jinchen smiled slightly. He never cared about the compliments of ordinary people, but the compliments of such a pure cultivator inevitably made people happy.

"I don't know if you can tell me your friend's name." Lou Jinchen asked.

"Guanxingzi!" said the middle-aged Taoist.

Lou Jinchen recited the name silently twice to remember the name in his heart, so the two of them looked outside and talked about Taoism under the starry sky.

Lou Jinchen didn't leave until the east gradually turned white.

He didn't have to drink a sip of water.

After Lou Jinchen left, Guan Xingzi stretched out his mouth and took a sip towards the deep stream below the mountain, a line of white fell into his mouth, it was the spring water in the stream.

He stretched out his hand and probed down the mountain, and the wild fruit in the mountain flew up and fell into his hand, and he ate it directly.

Thirsty to drink the mountain stream, hungry to eat the fruit on the tree, this is his life, for him, Lou Jinchen's arrival is just a passer-by, an episode.

Not only is he about to enter the fourth realm, but he will also have a companion magic weapon, which is naturally a happy thing.

Of course, what made him most happy was that he had glimpsed the secret of the starry sky while he was in meditation, which made him even more happy.

Lou Jinchen continued to walk forward. In the mountains, he met many people who were building a hut.

He hides in the mountains and builds up in a cave.

Or several people erect a statue together.

Then he planted medicine fields nearby, took in a few boy disciples and the like, and drove some spirits to take care of the medicine garden for himself.

This kind of pastoral practice is also what Lou Jinchen likes.

Just like those people who settled in Qunyu Mountain, they actually want to be safe, and they want to have an eyeless city nearby, which can make the vitality around them surge and refresh.

Those monks in Qunyu Mountain also opened up medicine gardens, and they also invited those spirit trees to take care of the medicine gardens.

Of course, there are also some temples that are dilapidated, obviously a failure, and the mysterious spirits inside have escaped to nowhere.

Lou Jinchen walked along the mountains and rivers, and met many people. Sometimes he greeted people, and then sat together to make tea and discuss the Tao, and sometimes he watched quietly.

There are also some people who practice hidden among ordinary people. This kind of people have both good and evil in their hearts.

Some people just like crowds and the atmosphere of fireworks.

Some people just like quiet.

Of course, people who like quietness will occasionally go to live in the city for a period of time to feel the atmosphere of fireworks.

And people who live in the city for a long time sometimes go to live in the mountains to wash away the smell of the world.

He actually walked for more than two months, and when he returned to Jiangzhou Mansion, nothing major happened.

Before he left, he had arranged for Qian Wenshu to handle it on his behalf.

Such things as governing the city were originally what he did, even if Lord Zhou was present, he would not deal with these miscellaneous matters.

But some things need him to deal with.

For example, some visiting letters, some invitation letters, and official letters from the capital.

Among them, the official letter is to let various places build temples.

This was mentioned by Lou Jinchen, of course he knew what it meant.

But when this official letter came, it didn't mention his appointment or dismissal as the acting magistrate, as if he didn't know that he had become the acting magistrate.

Lou Jinchen then ordered the counties to build Daoist halls, and to publish introductory Daoist books on qi refining and immortalization, so that children from poor families can get them. No money is needed, as long as people go, they can get them back home.

As for Lou Jinchen's master, the news that Yan Chuan and Xue Bao'er destroyed the Black Wind Village also spread in Jiangzhou Prefecture.

After Shang Gui'an found out, he wished he could be there.

Deng Ding's mind fluctuated even more.

He found that he, who was originally proud, had been opened up by everyone in the fire spirit view.

It didn't take long before Lou Jinchen was in Xinhai Lane City, and news of the murder of a strong Sea Clan from four realms also spread, which made everyone speculate on Lou Jinchen's strength. Some people said that he had The fifth realm, some say the sixth realm.

Of course, some people say that he is still in the fourth realm, but his swordsmanship is superb.

Another day, someone brought a letter of worship into the city and sent it to the government office.

This is a gauntlet.

It says in the book.

"I heard that your swordsmanship is superb. I have boundless water in the blue sea. I don't know if you can break it? This month, at the end of the month, there will be heavy rain, and I will come to meet you with the sea! —— Mo Jiuzhi."

The letter was filled with the breath of the sea.

And the ink on the letter has a mysterious magic power.

Looking at it, Lou Jinchen seemed to see a black sea.

The news that Lou Jinchen received the challenge letter spread out somehow.

It spread throughout Fucheng in just a few days, so many people started to talk about this Mo Jiuzhi.

The sea clan powerhouses have always been mysterious and domineering, especially at sea.

Jiangzhou is near the sea, so they know the power of the Sea Clan better than people in the interior.

Someone said: "This Mo Jiuzhi became famous 200 years ago. The previous governor took the monks in the state to hunt down a group of pirates across the sea, but was stopped by a giant octopus, and the governor took a boat of monks to fight against it." After three days, the ship was finally destroyed, and there were not many people who escaped back."

"The Fujun has been seriously injured since that battle, and he died within a few years."

It was so powerful 200 years ago, and what kind of power it will have today after 200 years.

All of a sudden, people talked about it.

Even Shang Gui'an became worried, he looked at Lou Jinchen.

However, Lou Jinchen was writing the basic practice method of Qi Refining Dao, and was going to print it out and send it to the Taoist halls in various counties.
