Taoist night sword

Chapter 223 222: Disappear

Tide Cicada Academy is the largest practice place in Dongzhou. Practitioners basically know where it is, but if you want to ask where it is, people who know Ticicada Academy basically don't know.

Now Lou Jinchen knows.

Qiu Chan Academy is located in a mountain.

The name of the mountain is Chanming Mountain.

When entering the mountain, Lou Jinchen seemed to hear the faint chirping of cicadas.

Lou Jinchen understood that it was the voice brought by the 'mysterious spirit' in the mountains.

"Isn't the academy just a place to practice quietly? The cicadas are so noisy, can the disciples inside calm down and practice?"

Lou Jinchen got off his horse and led the horse on the road into the mountain. The mountains on both sides of the road were covered with yellow leaves, and the branches were bare.

"When you first enter school, you can't hear the cicadas. Only when you are in samadhi can you feel and hear. The quieter your heart is, the louder the cicadas will be heard."

Yu Wanqing's words instantly reminded Lou Jinchen that he heard these cicadas the moment he arrived, but it does not mean that those who are new to cultivation can hear them. No matter what time it is, there is a piece of tranquility in his heart. place.

"Finally, you can get back into concentration amidst the cicadas' chirping, forgetting about the cicadas?" Lou Jinchen said.

"Yes, Lou Fu Ling." Yu Wanqing said.

"The more the cicada sings, the calmer the heart is. This is a kind of tempering and a state. Qiuchan Mountain is really good." Lou Jinchen said.

"Lou Fu Ling is so insightful!" Although Yu Wanqing and Lou Jinchen walked all the way, their words were always very polite. Lou Jinchen didn't even know whether she was really complimenting her from the heart or just being polite.

"What will happen if you can't regain concentration amidst the sound of cicadas?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"There will be hallucinations, and you will see countless cicadas flying in front of your eyes. Some people will feel that they are sucked by the cicadas, and they will think that they are a tree. If there is no improvement, they will be sent out of the school. .” Yu Wanqing said.

Lou Jinchen didn't ask any more questions, he wasn't a talkative person, but Yu Wanqing said after being silent for a while, "I don't know what Loufu's order is going to Xuegong?"

Along the way, she also asked Lou Jinchen twice what she was going to do, but Lou Jinchen said that she would not know until later.

But now that it was approaching Qiu Chan Academy, she couldn't help asking again.

"I haven't thought of a way yet!" Lou Jinchen said.

His understanding of Qiu Chan Academy is actually very limited, and he himself is not very good at analysis and strategy. Most of the time, he acts according to the morality in his heart, rather than pros and cons.

As for the method, he himself has never cared about it, but he has always felt in his heart that if he can reason, he must reason.

If you can't speak the truth, then the truth is not on your side.

If the truth has been explained, but the other party does not follow the truth, then say something else.

However, what they are facing now is Qiu Chan Academy, which is not an ordinary local sect.

The autumn glow in the mountains seems to be an invisible curtain, which is slowly lifted as a few people approach.

As the haze cleared, Lou Jinchen saw houses sitting in the forest.

A stone tablet stands by the side of the road, and a few words are engraved on it with flying dragons and winds - Qiu Chan Academy.

Lou Jinchen tried to listen to the sounds in the academy, but found that he couldn't hear them at all, only cicadas chirping.

All the movements in the academy were buried in the sound of cicadas.

Lou Jinchen can be sure that even if he passes over this mountain, he will not be able to see the houses in the forest below.

Because these houses will be covered by these cicadas.

"Tiu Chan Academy is really mysterious." Lou Jinchen sighed, because many things here will be hidden in the sound of cicadas.

The three of them came to a densely packed house, but when Lou Jinchen looked around, he found that it was surrounded by houses, and strangers here, it is impossible to tell where is the main body of Qiu Chan Academy.

The houses stacked on top of each other are in the mountains and forests, quiet and mysterious.

There are birds circling in it, and white cranes flying.

"What should we do?" The maid asked her young lady, and also Lou Jinchen.

Lou Jinchen said, "Who is the head of your academy?"

"The head of the mountain has not shown up for many years, and now the palace is presided over by three great teachers." Yu Wanqing said.

"Then what should I do if I want to meet someone in the academy?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Just come to visit directly." Yu Wanqing said.

"So, do you know where Chen Jin is now?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"I don't know." Yu Wanqing shook her head, she was a little flustered, she felt that Lou Jinchen's asking this meant that he had nothing to do.

"I heard from you earlier that Brother Chen is already a member of the Ancient Characters Exploration Society of Qiuchan Academy, let's go there and ask." Lou Jinchen asked again.

"Lou Mansion Order, I also asked there, and they said Senior Brother Chen hasn't been there for many days." Yu Wanqing said.

"In that case, let's visit normally!" Lou Jinchen took out a greeting card from his treasure bag.

At this time, it was probably time for lectures, so no one was walking around.

"I don't know where this invitation was delivered?" Lou Jinchen asked.

Yu Wanqing felt that Lou Jinchen could not get any answers.

Sure enough, after handing in the greeting card, he actually met someone who respected him. After all, Lou Jinchen is not an unknown person, and now he is the magistrate of Qianguo.

But it was limited to this. When Lou Jinchen asked about Chen Jin, the person who received him actually said that Chen Jin had left and had signed a normal departure document, and showed it to Lou Jinchen. Lou Jinchen looked at the handwriting, He didn't know if it was signed by Chen Jin.

But Lou Jinchen didn't believe it, but it was useless not to believe it.

Lou Jinchen also proposed to visit the Dajiao, but the other party said that if he wanted to visit, he would have to wait until the Dajiao was free.

During this period of time, Qiuchan Academy seems to have covered up all the traces of Chen Jin's disappearance.

Lou Jinchen was walking in the school palace in Cicada Mountain, he saw many students coming out of the house, talking and laughing in small groups.

Or you may meet with a few students who are talking about lectures in a secluded place in the mountains and forests.

Lou Jinchen looked at all this, he was so peaceful and normal, it was really a good place to cultivate his mind and nature.

Lou Jinchen followed Yu Wanqing to Chen Jin's residence again, but because Chen Jin had already left the school, and it was the kind of way to leave completely, not a short-term study tour.

So his apartment was also cleaned, and all personal belongings were gone.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wanqing was very shocked. She regretted that she went to Jiangzhou to deliver the letter. She felt that if she was still in the academy, she should be able to see this scene. After seeing this, she might be able to know more.

She looked for acquaintances everywhere to inquire, but everyone didn't know much more than she did, and they didn't even know that Chen Jin had left the academy.

Some of them said: "Senior Brother Chen left without telling you, it may be that Senior Brother Chen doesn't like you and is avoiding you."

Yu Wanqing was at a loss, she could be sure that Senior Brother Chen had told her that in case she disappeared, she would send that letter to the Huoling Temple.

I did it myself, but what about Senior Brother Chen?

"Perhaps Senior Brother Chen has already returned home? If you really want to see him, you might as well visit his home." A friend of Yu Wanqing said to her.

There are even men who like Yu Wanqing and want to take the opportunity to pursue Yu Wanqing.

Lou Jinchen saw all of this.

"Let's go to Chen Jin's house and have a look, maybe he has really gone back!" Lou Jinchen said suddenly.

This is what he said on the third day after entering Qiu Chan Academy.

Yu Wanqing was very disappointed, because she found that Lou Jinchen rushed to the academy in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.

She was very angry, both at Lou Jinchen's and at herself, but she was not a girl with bad words, so she didn't make a sound, and just took the maid out of Qiuchan Academy.

Lou Jinchen followed behind her, and also left the school, they headed in the same direction.

Chen Jin's home and her home are in a nearby city called Shuxiang City.

But after Yu Wanqing found Chen Jin's home, she asked Chen Jin's parents, but got an answer. Chen Jin actually wrote to her home, saying that she was traveling.

This result made Yu Wanqing feel like he was the only one who had a problem with the whole world.

She couldn't help but began to doubt herself, and even asked Lou Jinchen who hadn't spoken all the way: "Do you believe what I said?"

"I believe it!" Lou Jinchen's slightly indifferent answer made Yu Wanqing feel a lot more comfortable. She didn't even realize that Lou Jinchen's temperament was a little different from the first time she met her.

Yu Wanqing wanted to go back to her home, so she asked Lou Jinchen what his plans were for the future.

"You go back, brother Chen, don't think about it anymore, sleep well at home, maybe brother Chen will come back." Lou Jinchen said.

Yu Wanqing was very disappointed, she was very disappointed with Lou Jinchen's performance, she couldn't help saying: "Senior Brother Chen misjudged you!"

Lou Jinchen smiled, did not answer, but turned and left, and got on the black horse, like a lonely Jianghu swordsman leaving the city.

After Yu Wanqing returned home, her parents were all well, but she was always thinking about Senior Brother Chen in her heart.

So she wanted to ask her parents to inquire about Senior Brother Chen, but her parents said, Chen Jin was traveling abroad, where did he inquire about it?Although you and Chen Jin grew up together, even if our family wants it, if Chen Jin doesn't want it for you, you can't force it.

She was in a very bad mood, and slowly, she felt that she was sick. As a monk, it was very difficult to get sick, but she started to get sick, and she couldn't afford it once she got sick.

And at the moment when she fell ill, she felt as if she had disappeared into this world.

Because she found that her parents seemed to have forgotten herself.

The room where she lived was closed and locked from the outside.

She began to panic, but she found that she was ill and had no strength left in bed, her whole body was extremely weak, she couldn't get up at all, and she was still hanging with only one breath.

She thought that she might have been hit by some kind of spell. She wanted to visualize, gather thoughts into a law, and get rid of the negative state in her body, but found that her mind was blank. It was easy to enter meditation, but now It was a vast expanse of whiteness.

She is waiting to die.

She can only wait to die.

She thought of Senior Brother Chen, maybe he also experienced these things.

Just then, she heard a knock on the door.

She wanted to shout, but she didn't have the strength to shout out, she just opened her mouth, but there was no sound.

Immediately afterwards, someone squeezed in through the crack of the door.

With her eyes, she saw that this man was all pale, with a lamp in his hand and a sword in his hand, walking step by step.

The visitor was not a human being, but a paper man.

"Miss Yu, are you there?" The voice of the paper figurine sounded, and Yu Wanqing felt a throbbing in her heart, which was the longing for life.

Yu Wanqing recognized that the voice belonged to Lou Jinchen.

"Didn't he leave? Why did he appear again, but I can't see him clearly. Is he the real Lou Fuling?" Yu Wanqing thought in her heart.

"Miss Yu, if you are here, please respond, so that I can find you again." It was still Lou Jinchen's voice.

Some thoughts suddenly came to Yu Wanqing's mind: "Could it be that a monster came to claim my life? He called my name. If I answered, I would be taken away by him."

At this moment, she heard the paper figurine say again: "Miss Yu, don't have any doubts in your heart. How can I watch you have an accident if you send a letter all the way to Jiangzhou? Believe me, we still have to go to Senior Brother Chen."

After Yu Wanqing heard the words 'Senior Brother Chen', her mind immediately settled down.

"Yu Wanqing, are you there?" Lou Jinchen's voice seemed to be transmitted through layers of water through the void, it was very distorted, making it sound extremely weird.

"I'm here!" Yu Wanqing grasped the last sliver of clarity in her heart, and responded vigorously.

She didn't actually make a sound from her mouth, but her voice echoed from her heart.

The moment she answered, she saw the light on the lantern in the paper figurine's hand flashing fiercely, forming an illusory circle of light, which burned in the void.

Immediately afterwards, she saw the sword light waving in the paper figurine's hand.

It was obviously not far away, but the sword in the paper figurine's hand was like a meteor falling from the sky, slashing across this small but extremely vast void for her.

Jian Guang seemed to be looking for a certain trajectory, but somehow landed in front of her, and slid across her eyelids.

She just felt that some kind of bondage on her body was torn open.

In an instant, both consciousness and body are clear.

His eyes are also clear.

"Loufu Order!"

Originally, she thought that she had fallen into an illusion, and when she saw Lou Jinchen, she felt that Lou Jinchen was a weird paper figurine.

But after she saw it clearly, she found that there was indeed a paper doll in front of her.

The person who came was actually a paper man.

She called 'Lou Fu Ling', but the paper figurine didn't answer, and the paper figurine had already started to burn.

Burning from the lantern in its hand.

"Lou Fu Ling, I..." Yu Wanqing said again.

"Be careful with your maid."

These were the last words Yu Wanqing heard, they were not heard with the body, but a kind of thought transmission.

After this sentence, the paper figurine burned even faster, and it was burned up in a blink of an eye.

She felt a sudden chill in her heart, and suddenly, she found that there was light outside the door, and someone was coming.

And that person was already opening the lock, she took out a small sword from her treasure bag, the tip of the small sword was red, it was the Scarlet Fire Sword given to her by Chen Jin.

Her maid came in with a lamp.
