Taoist night sword

269 ​​Chapter 268: Myth

The news that Lou Jinchen had returned to Jiangzhou Mansion slowly spread, but no one had seen him.

The drizzle in the sky is covered with dark clouds, stretching for thousands of miles.

And the news that a snake wants to use the river to enter the sea to transform into a dragon, I don't know how it spread.

Suddenly one day, the rain intensified.

There was a clatter under the eaves.

Then someone heard a roar from afar, like a beast but not a beast, like a snake but not a snake.

Shang Gui'an came in once and saw Lou Jinchen sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, so he didn't disturb him.

Lou Jinchen has been like this for more than ten days since he came back. He asked his master Yan Chuan, and Yan Chuan took a look and said that Lou Jinchen should have understood something, so there is no need to disturb him.

Moreover, Lou Jinchen's body is clean, so there should be no evil things from the underworld.

Lou Jinchen was reminiscing about the yin-yang transformation he had experienced.

He can actually hear and feel everything that happens outside.

The wind, the rain, the thick dark clouds, the people entering and leaving the city gate, or even non-human beings, all looked like a scene to him.

He could faintly hear many people discussing himself.

Words are like the wind, hot or cold, blowing in the heart.

Boom boom boom...

The sudden thunder sounded.

Then came the roaring tsunami-like waves.

Everyone in Jiangzhou City was awakened, and then the upper reaches of the river seemed to burst a dike.

Outside the city, someone had been waiting there long ago, and saw the raging flood from the upper reaches, in which a giant snake could be seen faintly flowing down the river.

The fishermen on both sides of the strait have already closed their boats and landed these days.

It is said that some of the remaining villages on both sides of the river have also been entrusted with dreams these days. In the dream, there was a flood, and at the same time it rained continuously for so long. Affected by the weather, no one went fishing, so it fell Not many people were drowned by this flood.

However, it is inevitable that bridges will be washed down along the way.

It was a white snake.

It is very big, and in the waves of the water, you can see the head but not the end, and see the end but not the head.

In the section outside the city of Jiangzhou Prefecture, the water is calm and the water surface is open. When the flood water entered here, there were no big waves. However, during the heavy rain, there was a snake swimming down the water like a wave.

It was very lively outside, Lou Jinchen sat alone on the bed in the bedroom and practiced quietly.

Day after day, month after month.

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

Everything in the world is changing. When Lou Jinchen stood at the top of the city, he saw the green mountains outside the city, mixed with some red flowers and green fruits. When he opened his eyes, it was already midsummer.

That white snake transforming into a dragon has become a thing of the past.

He walked slowly at the top of the city. Under the sun, his figure had no shadow, and the sun's rays seemed to be able to penetrate his body.

In his feeling, the world seemed to have been artificially changed, and the world itself began to emit some mysterious factor again.

Lou Jinchen understands that this is not only a temple built by everyone, but also because this piece of land already has deep spiritual resources, as if it was buried deep in the ground and finally unearthed.

The world is no longer cold and hard, but becomes mysterious and active.

He heard voices in the wind.

There are people's whispers, the sound of offering sacrifices, crying, laughing, cursing, children playing, and even reading scriptures.

These voices all came from inside and outside Jiangzhou Prefecture.

Some people are talking about some anecdotes, others are talking about some strange things, and some people are saying that some powerful existences have appeared in certain places.

This piece of land seems to be giving birth to all kinds of weird monsters.

In the mountains and rivers that are wider than the city, it is difficult for some ordinary little monks to survive. They need to get together or form a sect to clear out a place.

It was already difficult for the little monk to survive alone in the wilderness.

He stood there looking at the sun, and couldn't help thinking that in the age of ancient mist, one day, the sun appeared and dispelled the mist, so the spells in the world faded, the strange monsters were burned by the sun, and those gods and men also struggled to survive under the sun. And slowly died out, it is said that some hid in the underworld.

Although this time he didn't see those gods and men hiding in the underworld, but he also saw a different style of the underworld, and the underworld is definitely not a cold death.

The sky was slowly getting dark and the sun was setting, but Lou Jinchen saw a different sky phenomenon.

In the setting sun, he seemed to see a waterfall from outside the sky falling into this piece of heaven and earth.

This scene did not fade with the brilliance of the sun, but became clearer and clearer.

The hanging waterfall is silver-gray, like cloud light, and like the pouring of moonlight into water.

Hanging there quietly, Lou Jinchen had a feeling.

If the world is compared to a pond, then one pond has opened up, and water is constantly flowing into another pond.

However, Lou Jinchen has no evidence to prove that there is a world there, and he is pouring ideas towards the world he is in.

The celestial phenomenon that seems to be on the top of the mountain, but is actually far away in the sky, and may even be impossible to touch at all, is not something he can touch now.

He couldn't help but think again, when he came out of the underworld before, he looked back and saw in the reflection of the sky, the person suspected to be Gao Quanzong standing on the top of the mountain and watching him.

At that time, the scene was like a mirage, but Lou Jinchen felt that it was real.

It's just that he doesn't know if Gao Quanzong has come out.

Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and quickly outlined a door in the void. The void in the door suddenly became illusory. If there was a vortex, Lou Jinchen stepped into it, and the void swallowed it.

But in the secret room where Chen Jin practiced, a figure came out from the door.

The person who came out was tied in a bun, with a sword stuck in his black hair like a hairpin.

He was a little worried about Chen Jin at first, because Chen Jin was not in a good state at that time. At that time, he asked Chen Jin if he wanted to stay to protect him, and he said that he didn't need it.

At this time, Lou Jinchen was standing here, feeling that there was a majestic and pure sun-like aura in the secret room. He knew that Chen Jin should be fine, but he was not there. However, he soon discovered that the other party's table On it, there is a letter.

On the envelope was written: "Second brother, dear!"

Seeing the title, Lou Jinchen opened it involuntarily, and took out the letter paper, on which was written: "Second brother is well, younger brother Bai Yejian worships!"

"After the farewell in the past, the world has changed, and the world has changed. I don't know if the second brother's practice will go well? My younger brother and teacher encountered a catastrophe. My dog ​​died in the mountains and was rescued. I met a kind woman and married her. To conceive a child, I originally wanted to hide the sword and hide the law, and I didn't want to fight for the practice, but a few days ago, the elders of the master's family came here, wanting to revenge, the master's kindness is hard to break, the younger brother will leave soon, and I don't care about my life , the only concern is my wife, I don’t know if my second brother can receive this letter, if I can, I just ask my second brother to go to Zhongzhou, in Fucheng, Qingyuan Prefecture, Yangmeilong Road No. 17, to take my wife and children to safety placed in a place."

Lou Jinchen frowned slightly. Although he had some guesses, he didn't expect that it was actually a letter from Bai Yejian.

He thought that he had been to Zhongzhou once before. He heard the news of the accident in Jianling Mountain, and he also looked for Bai Yejian, but he couldn't find it, and finally came back.

So he went out.

Qiu Chan Academy was still quiet, but in Lou Jinchen's perception at this time, this quietness was caused by the sound of cicadas flying from the dark void to dispel all the noise.

Noise is not only a sound in the ordinary sense, but also a lot of inner voices. A person's inner voice may not be heard by others, even he himself cannot hear it, but the inability to hear it by the ear does not mean that the consciousness cannot hear it.

The voice of the heart is that one's own consciousness is restless, and sometimes, one does not know it.

So the sound of cicadas can eliminate distracting thoughts in the mind.

When Lou Jinchen walked in the academy, he felt a sense of tranquility.

He walked with his hands down, his hands in his big sleeves, and the wind blew his sleeves fluttering.

There is a small curved lake in front of it. The water in the lake is quiet, reflecting the mountains.

He stood by the lake, looking at the reflection in the lake, feeling peaceful in his heart.

Not far behind him, under a willow tree, a person appeared at some point.The man stepped out of the light wind, carrying a wisp of smoke, which was blown away by the wind when his feet touched the ground.

He walked slowly to Lou Jinchen's side and looked at the lake together.

After a long time, Lou Jinchen suddenly said: "The lake water of Qiuchan Academy is also so clean, there are no ripples in the wind, which is really rare."

"If there are no ripples, it means peace of mind." The man said.

Lou Jinchen smiled and didn't argue with him, and said, "I don't know what your name is?"

The other party said: "It seems that Huaiyu really didn't tell you about the people and things in Qiuchan Academy."

Lou Jinchen knew that Huaiyu was Chen Jin's name, similar to how some people like to take a Taoist name.

"Not really, he told me some things, but not about your Excellency." Lou Jinchen said.

"Then I don't know if I should be happy or sad, should I say that he respects me and doesn't talk about me behind my back, or should I feel sad that I don't have anything interesting for you." The man continued.

"Thinking too much is not good for practice!" Lou Jinchen said.

"Okay, simple and simple words, but they are golden and good words on the way of practice." The man continued: "My name is Wen Zaicheng, and I am temporarily the head of the mountain and corridor of Qiuchan Academy. This should be the fourth time I have come to Qiuchan Is it the academy?"

"I've forgotten the few times I've forgotten. I've forgotten a lot recently, some irrelevant things. If you forget them, there's no need to think about them." Long, but a little more special.

"Almost all the words of the corridor leader are simple and reasonable. They are well said. If you forget the irrelevant things, there is no need to think about them. However, this sentence reminds me of what another person said." Jae Seung said.

"Oh?" Lou Jinchen asked lightly.

"The sages of Qi Refining Dao are true, Daoist Yue Luyue!" Wen Zaicheng said: "When a person starts to forget his past, it is the beginning of trouble, because forgetting the past means that he cannot describe the future."

"The line of life, if there is no trace of the past, how do you know that you are moving forward, how do you know that you are not going back, and how do you know that you are not standing still?"

"Forgetting the past is a betrayal of oneself!"

"Are you betraying yourself?" Lou Jinchen frowned and said.

"Yes, no matter who changes, it starts with betraying yourself." Wen Zaicheng said seriously.

Lou Jinchen stopped talking, he looked at the sky, the sky did not reflect the lake, but the lake reflected the white clouds in the sky.

"What you said makes sense." Lou Jinchen said.

"I didn't say it, it was said by Daoist Master Yue Dao of Qi Refining Dao." Wen Zaicheng said.

"The Qiuchan Academy has stood in the world for thousands of years, but do you know where this Daoist Yue has gone?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Although this world is severely imprisoned, in the past thousands of years, there have been people with amazing talent and beauty. However, these people with amazing talent and beauty will disappear after reaching a certain level, and they will never be seen again. If they don't show up in the world, no one knows where they went." Moon Jae-seung said.

"Isn't there a single word left in your Qiuchan Academy?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"There are some plausible records. Didn't you go to the underworld with Huaiyu before? That's where we suspect." Wen Zaicheng said: "Of course, if you want to know more, maybe the national teacher will know something .”

Lou Jinchen's heart moved, and he said, "What is the origin of the national teacher?"

"The national teachers belong to the Wu Zhu lineage, so they should be from the Wuyin Lingwu Temple. The Lingwu Temple is the most mysterious Daoist in the world. It is said that they are the practitioners that existed in the Misty Age, and they are also the founders of the Wuyin Temple. Therefore, in the area centered on the Lingwu Temple, the fog has only dispersed for more than a hundred years, and then the fog has shrouded it again."

"If you can go to Wuyin State, go to Lingwu Temple, or you can know more." Wen Zaicheng said.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely ask." Lou Jinchen nodded and said.

Wen Zaicheng looked at Lou Jinchen again and said: "I have also seen people who have cultivated to the sixth level. The previous head of the Qiuchan Academy has actually reached the sixth level. He, like you, always looks He was thinking, do you know where he went in the end?"

"Where?" Lou Jinchen asked.

Wen Zaicheng pointed to the lake in front of him, and said: "He was also here at the time, pointing to the lake, and told me: So those people all went here."

"Then he jumped into the lake, jumped in front of me, and then disappeared." Wen Zaicheng said: "I still don't know what he meant by those words, so I keep thinking, is it me? The realm has not yet been reached, and it is impossible to break the myth."

Looking at the lake in front of him, Lou Jinchen remained silent, as if his heart was touched, but he didn't grasp it, so he said: "I have some problems, I don't think about things that I can't figure out, maybe after a while I will naturally figured it out."

He turned around again, Chao Wen made a salute, and said, "Thank you, Chief Wen Shan, for telling me these secrets, and I will leave."

After speaking, he turned around and walked into the wind, his figure gradually faded away and disappeared.

Wen Zaicheng looked at the place where the other party disappeared, but he couldn't catch the slightest trace of his disappearance.

He couldn't help but sighed. All the people he knew who could reach the sixth level were amazingly talented and brilliant people. They all achieved it in a short period of time, but they all left after the sixth level. kind of weird question.

He looked at the lake again, and thought.

He clearly remembered his teacher's expression when he jumped into the lake, with endless excitement in the madness, as if he had found a way forward.
