Taoist night sword

236 Chapter 235: Wukui County
"Brother, what is the goal of your practice?"

Shang Gui An Deng walked forward and asked the senior brother behind him.

"See the world!" Lou Jinchen replied quickly.

There is a crescent moon in the sky, and on the earth, where the thickness is thick and thin, there are mountains and the earth, and the white ones are rivers and rivers.

Among the two people, one walked in front with a lamp, while the other followed in a leisurely manner, like walking in a painting of mountains, rivers and starry sky.

They don't have to walk, but they choose to walk.

Only by being down-to-earth can you feel the breath of the earth and mountains.

"Senior brother, still can't see through the world?" Shang Gui'an asked.

"The world is vast, illusory, yin world, yang world, big thousand, small thousand, I have never even been out of Dongzhou, how can I see through the world." Lou Jinchen said.

"Since senior brother wants to see the world, why has he hardly left Jiangzhou Mansion for so many years?" Shang Gui'an asked.

Lou Jinchen said: "If you want to see the world, you must first have the ability to see the world. Only by entering that world can you truly see clearly. The purpose of practicing is to prevent yourself from dying in the process. Therefore, practicing is to crawl. Stairs are the homework of a lifetime, and seeing the world is a distant but real goal under your feet."

"My generation's practice, magic spells, and pursuit of the road to longevity are the direction, but they are by no means the only way. Some people use all kinds of methods to achieve longevity, regardless of good and evil, like demons and demons, but that is not the practice of longevity. enslaved by desire."

"Furthermore, the changes caused by the administration of the temple in this part of the world will definitely lead to the emergence of powerful people in the world. If you and I slack off a bit, we will be left behind and will be submerged in the endless stream of descendants of Tianjiao."

"Have you ever thought that a hundred years later, someone will write a history, saying that the government of Qianguo first opened the temple, and the Jiangzhou Swordsman Tower shined for a while, but it was finally submerged in the rolling history, just a flash in the pan. "

Lou Jinchen's words immediately brought him more than a hundred years later, and both himself and his senior brother were dead, and became the talk of others, and became the background for others to grow up.

Others walk on the road of longevity, with fresh clothes and angry horses, but I have become a dead bone under the flower tree beside the road.

No matter how brilliant it is now, a hundred years from now, it may only be a record of dozens of words.

"After a hundred years, senior brother will still be there!" Shang Gui'an said with certainty.

"Now, there are different laws. Should it still shine, or fade away? I am the leader in this Jiangzhou, but what about the entire Qian State? What about the big states outside the Qian State? Or other great worlds? Woolen cloth?"

Lou Jinchen said: "A turbulent era has begun. We are walking in the history and legends. Whether it has been extolled by people or just passed on, it is all at the feet of today!"

Lou Jinchen answered Shang Gui'an's question, saying that he was seeing the world.

The world is the heavens and the world, he believes, the world is not just this world.

But to see the world, it is only interesting to meet the arrogance of all worlds for a while.

However, those are just daydreams, and everything must be based on the present.

The present is just the beginning of everything, and he is still the governor of Jiangzhou Prefecture.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horseshoes from behind.

The two immediately gave way to the side of the road.

Then I saw a man riding a horse, with a lamp on the horse, and the man on the horse had white hair. He rode past the two of them with a box on his back.

It seems that this is a person who walks the dark dart.

Because Lou Jinchen could feel the evil spirit tainted on his body.

After walking two or three miles further, the sky will be bright, and there is already Huaguang.

In front of me is a piece of farmland, or it can be called Lingtian, where Lingmi is planted.

The name of Lingmi is Qianjinsu, which was originally the main crop in Jiangzhou. Now the Qianjinsu looks more and more beautiful, even in the faint morning light, it exudes a little golden color.

In the farmland, the sound of hoes and hoes can be heard continuously. Before dawn, many people have come to work in this field.

There happened to be a person on the side of the road. When he saw Shang Guian and Lou Jinchen approaching with a lantern, the other person had vigilance in his eyes, but he didn't show much fear. Those who dare to come out to work at this time need some courage.

This is a young man with a jade tablet hanging around his neck, which emits a faint red light.

Lou Jinchen could tell at a glance that the jade plaque was engraved with the dharma body of 'Ghost Luo', which is equivalent to a talisman.

At such a time, he dared to weed in the field in this wilderness because he had the 'Ghost Luo' amulet.

The emergence of the temple has various shortcomings, but its benefits are also obvious.

"Hello, Immortal." Of course the young man didn't know Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an, but he knew how to speak.

"Is this ridge of land enough for a family of four to eat?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"As far as Hui Xianchang is concerned, if it is just food, it is enough, but if you add other expenses in life, it is not enough." The young man said.

"Can you tell me about the expenses?" Lou Jinchen said.

"Hui Xianchang, if I wear clothes in addition to eating, I don't have to buy new clothes for the clothes of the four seasons, but working in the farmland is also perishable. It is inevitable to buy cloth and weave new clothes. Wife and children, I need to add some in the four seasons."

"Especially the children, who are growing up, have to add new clothes every year. Even renewing the old ones requires a lot of work. When the children reach their age, they need to be enlightened, whether it is learning to read, or the future. Practicing enlightenment is a lot of money."

"It is said that they have entered the door of cultivation, and the pills used to assist cultivation are also extremely rare. However, those are not something I can worry about. If they can practice, they can only earn it by themselves."

In the hearts of young people, it is obvious that they hope that their children can practice.

"Oh, then, do you know where everyone's practice is generally enlightened?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"There is a mentor in our village, who was appointed by the government earlier, and it is much cheaper than other mentors, but it is hard for him to take care of so many disciples alone, so I want to wait for my child to arrive. If you are old, you will be sent to the Mengtang opened by the Iron Blood Bodyguard Company."

"Oh? Is he fine there?" Lou Jinchen continued to ask.

"How should I put it, it is more expensive there, but those who are enlightened from there, if they enter the door of practice, when they are old, they can find a job in the iron-blooded bodyguard, and practice as an apprentice at the same time. It will be faster, and you can get some wages." The young farmer said.

"However, the errand in the escort agency is also a dangerous errand." Lou Jinchen said.

"Where is there any dangerous job in this world? Even if I am farming here, it is dangerous. A few days ago, in the village next door, someone met Bai Ji, and three of them died." The young man sighed.

"White fierce?" Although Lou Jinchen guessed something in his heart, he was not very clear. He found that he had not been out of the palace for many years, and practiced in a semi-closed manner, so he didn't know much about many things in the folk.

"Xianchang, don't you even know Baiji?" The young farmer was surprised that Lou Jinchen didn't even know this.

Shang Guian next to him immediately said: "The folks divide those spirit bodies into four grades, gray, black, white, and red. The full names are gray, black, white, and red. They refer to their appearance. Gray wandering spirits, black wraiths, white-eyed evil spirits, and red-eyed ghosts."

Lou Jinchen immediately understood that the gray and black did not mention the eyes, probably because their eyes have not yet formed.

As for the red eyes, it means that this 'spirit' has swallowed a large amount of essence and blood, and the eyes have already bred Yin spirit and evil blood.

"The world is not benevolent, the fittest survive." Lou Jinchen sighed and continued on his way.

The two left, and at dawn, they saw a woman delivering food to the field.

Then passing through a valley, I saw a Taoist in black, holding a strange lamp in his hand.

The lamp is in the shape of a 'ghost', but its posture is to raise its head to the sky, put its hands to its mouth, as if spitting flames outward.

Obviously, this is the Taoist attendant of Lanluo Temple, and the lamp in his hand represents the 'ghost', and the invisible flame emitted from its mouth is not an ordinary flame, but a kind of The divine fire condensed by the divine power of 'Ghosta'.

The Taoist attendant's cultivation level was not high, at most he was in the second level. He walked into the room of the abandoned camp step by step, and opened the doors one after another.

Finally, after he pushed open a door, he felt a strong coldness, as if he had fallen into a cold spring. The light in his hand was surging, illuminating these rooms, looking for the 'white murderer'.

He is a Taoist servant, and he guards this area. A few days ago, a 'white murderer' killed people working in the field. He searched for it for a few days, and finally found this place.

He searched, and finally came to a mirror. It was a bronze mirror, which reflected his figure, but it was not very clear. As he approached step by step, the shadow in the mirror also approached step by step.

He carefully saw that the person inside was indeed his own face, but the moment he saw it clearly, the eyes of the person inside turned into two strange white spots.

The Taoist outside the mirror seemed to be controlled, standing there motionless, but the lamp flame in his hand moved, the lamp swayed without wind, suddenly jumped, and there was a slight explosion, just like the flame in hot oil. Dropped a drop of water.

The white-eyed figure in the mirror suddenly burst into flames, it let out a strange cry, rushed out of the mirror, and then tried to escape, but the light of the "ghost lamp" in the hand of the waiter was attached to it, and it was not allowed to escape at all. Soon the 'white murderer' was burned to death.

Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an watched this scene, but did not show up, but left.

This daoist's own cultivation base is not high, but borrowing the power of 'Ghost Luo', he can get rid of this 'white fierce', which is a good thing.

Shang Gui'an somewhat understood what his brother was thinking.

Not long after, Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an appeared in a city.

This city is called Wukui City.

According to legend, a person appeared here a long time ago. With his fists and kicks, he beat Jiangzhou invincible hands. The people in this county were proud of him and renamed the county Wukui County.

From then on, martial arts flourished in this county, and it has a good reputation in Jiangzhou for punching Wukui. People who open martial arts gyms in various places in Jiangzhou can trace back to Wukui County if they trace their masters.

Not long after Lou Jinchen and Shang Guian came to the city, they only drank a pot of tea and knew about it.

Gong Baoshan died.

Lou Jinchen was very impressed with Gong Baoshan.

It was a lean old man. When he was acting as the magistrate, he also actively supported him. In Lou Jinchen's impression, although this man was old in the world, he still maintained the character of a warrior.

A sentence that is old but strong, with a tough style can describe him.

He wondered why no one came to the state capital to inform Gong Baoshan of his death.

You must know that although Gong Baoshan was not the county magistrate of Wukui County, but at that time he represented Wukui County to participate in Zhou Fujun's alliance meeting, which meant that he was able to represent Wukui County.

Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an were sitting there drinking tea, and they heard the next table talking about Gong Baoshan's family's struggle for the position of Patriarch, and they were unable to bury Gongbaoshan for a year.

"Dare to ask, this friend, Gong Baoshan is the master of a temple, why has he never heard of it in the state capital after his death?" Shang Gui'an asked the people at the table for advice.

The man said: "The people of Wukui County have always been proud of themselves. Their temple master died in the temple. How could they report to the state government? In the entire state capital, only the temple masters in Wukui County The Lord is dead, isn't that telling others that martial arts monks are inferior to humans?"

The people at this table had just finished speaking, and the people at the next table were already glaring.

The person who spoke at this table was not afraid at all, but his companions took his hand, and then towards the person next door who was obviously from Wukui County, they cupped their fists to apologize, and hurried downstairs.

After they left, the Wukui County people at that table turned their attention to Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an.

One of the young men said: "Looking at your clothes, you should be a monk. I don't know why you came to Wukui County?"

"Could it be that Wukui County prohibits outsiders from coming?" Shang Gui'an asked.

"Of course not. It's just that Wukui County is not peaceful recently. If the two of you are just out for fun, you'd better leave as soon as possible." After the young man finished speaking, he also got up to check out and leave.

"Is Gong Baoshan really dead?" Lou Jinchen asked suddenly.

As soon as Lou Jinchen's words came out, the young man glared at him immediately, and the same was true for those who were with him, and one of them said: "Your Excellency, please be silent for the elders and the dead!"

When Lou Jinchen heard it, he also felt that it should be so, and said: "I had a relationship with Temple Master Gong once, although we didn't talk much, but I still remember it deeply. If Temple Master Gong has really passed away, can you tell me where he buried him?" where?"

The young man looked at Lou Jinchen and said, "I don't know what your name is?"

"Could it be that to worship the temple master of the palace, you still need an identity qualification?" Shang Gui'an asked when he saw that the senior brother didn't intend to use a common name.

"That's not true. There was also a friend of the temple master who came to worship, but caused troubles, so the unknown people behind were not brought in to worship." The young man said.

"Then can you tell me how did the temple master die?" Lou Jinchen asked again.

The young man shook his head and said, "Sorry!"

He left after speaking.

It didn't take long for Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an to go downstairs. They didn't need to ask anyone where the Wukui Temple was, they knew the direction just by looking at the sky.

The location of Wukui Temple is like a spring, and when he was outside the city, Lou Jinchen felt that the sky above Wukui Temple was burning like a flame.

Wukui Temple is not outside the city, but in the city.

When he got closer, Lou Jinchen could see clearly that there was a monster in the flame.

It seemed vaguely that there was a burning man bound by chains, and that monstrous man was roaring at this moment, trying to break free from the chains.

Lou Jinchen can see this kind of divine image at a glance, but others may not.

"Let's go in and have a look." Lou Jinchen said.

Since he doesn't want to use a common name, he can go directly to see it and everything will be understood.

He believes that there is not much that can be hidden from his own eyes.

The door of Wukui Temple was closed, and Shang Guian also used the Five Elements escape method to sneak into an alley quietly, and then naturally disappeared in the shadows. He found that he could still see his senior brother .

He doesn't know what method this is, but he can be sure that no one else will be able to see the senior brother.

The gatekeeper at the door didn't see them at all, and the two got closer and closer to the door.

Shang Gui'an didn't understand why the senior brother still entered this important door by himself, the idea just came up, in his eyes, the crack of the door suddenly became blurred in his eyes, and then quickly became bigger, the crack of the door seemed to be blurred. became an open door.

In his eyes, the senior brother had already stepped into it first, and he also walked in, his eyes darkened, and when he looked back, the door was tightly closed, only a small crack remained.

Shang Guian was surprised, but he also understood that this was another application of senior brother's 'door' calligraphy.

Originally, he thought that it was an unimaginable magic method for senior brother to use the courtyard to connect the enemy's dreams in the courtyard.

But now that I experience it personally, I feel that my brother is already very good at this spell.
