Taoist night sword

Chapter 292 Chapter 291: Ancient Text
Not far from this volcano, there is an island reef on which two people stand.

A woman, an old man.

The woman was none other than Zhu Lin who was rescued by Lou Jinchen earlier, and the old man next to her was her father.

After she went back, she told her father about the danger she encountered in the northern waters, and then said that she was saved by a 'rainbow light'.

So her father brought her here, and her father said that a few days before she came back, a rainbow light flashed across the islands and came in this direction, and the islands shook at that time.

Later, someone came back from that volcano and said that he saw a person coming with a rainbow light and entered the volcano.

So they came here, and stopped on an island reef next to the volcano, looking at Lou Jinchen who was refining his sword in the sky above the mountain top.

After the father and daughter saw Lou Jinchen practicing sword here, the boring feeling of waiting disappeared immediately. Although they couldn't get close, they could also see that Lou Jinchen was doing it in a way they didn't know. Refining the sword.

The first step is obviously to burn the sword into the magma, and then spit out the golden white brilliance into the sword, and refine it in the moonlight.

They were shocked when they saw the superb swordsmanship of the man who controlled the sword.

Until 49 days later, they saw that Lou Jinchen no longer entered the volcano after the sun came out, but was still holding his sword in the sun's rays, as if he was practicing sword skills.

That sword technique was soul-stirring, just looking at it, he felt that if the sword came towards him, he would not know how to resist it at all.

He guessed in his heart that the other party might have finished refining the sword.

Of course, Lou Jinchen had discovered the father and daughter a long time ago, and he didn't want to talk to him, but the father and daughter came up to him and said, "Benefactor, please stay, benefactor..."

Zhu Lin hurriedly shouted.

Then she introduced herself as a person from nearby Zhushan Island, next to her father, who is the owner of Zhushan Island, came here to thank her and invited him to the island.

Lou Jinchen still didn't want to go, but Zhu Tingchun, the island owner, strongly invited him.

Lou Jinchen went there with the intention of seeing one more scenery.

After going there, it is indeed a small island covered by bamboo forests. The people on the island live in the bamboo forests, and the bamboo houses built with bamboo forests are not quite quiet.

The other party first offered good wine, the wine was Zhuzang wine, and then called Meiji to perform the dance. The island owner Zhu Tingchun looked at Lou Jinchen, although he watched the dancer dancing, but his eyes were clear, and his position on Lou Jinchen was even stronger in his heart. It's a little clearer.

Afterwards, when talking about the method of practice, they knew that Lou Jinchen practiced the Qi Refining Dao, so they immediately said that they also practiced the Qi Refining Dao, and presented the method they practiced to Lou Jinchen.

His method of practice is to capture the energy of water and wood. The reason why they settled here is because the energy of wood spirit and water spirit is abundant here.

Lou Jinchen only read it once, and only those who have reached the fourth level have practiced, and many things in the fourth level are still perfected later.

"Do you have anything to ask?" Lou Jinchen asked them.

Zhu Tingchun's eyes showed joy, and he said: "We are just a side branch of Qi training, we don't know the direction of our practice in the future, if we want to go further, do we need to change the method of practice?"

Lou Jinchen pondered for a while and said: "The method of practice is just a way to climb the peak, and your practice of harvesting the energy of water and wood is also a way. Since you have all entered the fourth realm and there is nothing wrong with it, There is no need to change the method of practice, just open up the way forward."

"I don't know the way forward?..." Zhu Tingchun asked eagerly.

"Let me mark a way forward for you. After marking, there will be a direction. This fifth realm needs..."

Lou Jinchen directly talked about the status of the fifth and sixth realms. As for how they will advance in the future, they need to find their own way.

The fifth level is to polish the thoughts in the yin and yang, and finally achieve the thoughts like medicine. They don't have to do this, they just need to achieve the same effect.

That night, Lou Jinchen lived on the island, and it started to rain.

The rain is thunderstorm.

He saw thunder and lightning falling into the bamboo forest, and he could vaguely see the lightning flashing in the bamboo forest.

The next day, Zhu Lin brought him a bamboo flute. This bamboo flute is blue-purple, purple in the blue, with slender knots, very beautiful.

Lou Jinchen doesn't know how to play the flute, but he also thinks the flute is beautiful.

"Grandpa, this is a flute made from Qinglei old bamboo on our island."

Lou Jinchen took it and held it in his hand, only to realize that it was quite heavy. When he flicked his finger on it, it made a jade-like crisp sound. There is a slight numbness in reading.

He felt a touch of electricity.

"This flute is interesting!" Lou Jinchen said.

"Yes, this is the green thunder bamboo. It grows one point every time it is struck by lightning, so it often grows after the rain, and it is also called the thunder bamboo after the rain." Zhu Lin said.

"Okay, not bad, do you have any more here? Give me two plants with roots." Lou Jinchen said.

"Yes, I will personally dig two plants and give them to your benefactor." Zhu Lin said quickly. Although Zhushan Island is not small and has many bamboos, there are not many real green thunder bamboos. Two green thunder bamboos that can be planted Lei Zhu, for Zhu Lin, was also extremely heartbroken.

Moreover, if someone comes to buy top-grade green thunder bamboo, they will need a high price to buy it. Most of the time, Zhushan Island does not sell it, and only needs spiritual herbs that are helpful to their cultivation.

Zhu Lin asked again: "Grandfather, why haven't you asked him his name for so long?"

"My name is Lou Jinchen, the Dojo Jingluo Palace." Lou Jinchen said.

Zhu Lin was pleasantly surprised, she didn't expect that the person in front of her was actually Lou Jinchen. Even in this overseas islands, Lou Jinchen's reputation has spread. Last night, Lou Jinchen finished talking about the fifth and sixth realms. After practicing.

Her father was lost in thought, and so was she herself, she actually forgot Wenlou Jinchen's name.

She just remembered this morning. Originally, she was thinking about someone with such powerful swordsmanship, but it turned out to be the Jiangzhou Sword Immortal she had heard about.

"By the way, Engong, tomorrow we will have an observation meeting in the Banyue Islands. I wonder if Engong is interested in participating?" Zhu Lin said.

"What observation meeting?" Lou Jinchen asked, it was the first time he had heard of such a meeting, and he didn't even know what it meant.

Zhu Lin said: "A few days ago, the owner of the island, the largest island in our Banyue Islands, fished out a statue from the bottom of the sea. The statue was covered with ancient characters. He took it out and said it for everyone to see. Can anyone decipher it?"

"Oh, a statue? Is it very old?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"I heard that it is very old, full of the style of the Mist Age, and the characters on it are even older than the characters of the Mist Age, so the island owner of Junlai Island cannot decipher it."

"What is the inheritance of Junlai Island?" Lou Jinchen asked.

Zhu Lin said carefully: "The inheritance of Junlai Island can be traced back to the Misty Era. It is said that the king of a certain small country came to the Banyue Islands because of his refuge, and has been passed down to this day. The method he cultivated is also relatively mysterious."

"But for so many years, we all know that their practice method is based on the method of offering sacrifices to gods, and it is a practice method that is formed by fusing other Taoism. , Swearing, cutting off life and death, turning fiction into reality, it is extremely terrifying."

As Lou Jinchen listened, he became somewhat interested. He only knew that before the current world structure, there was once a fog that shrouded this world, and the fog blocked the communication between various parts of the world.

A city is a kingdom, and even the strongest in this kingdom may only pass through the surrounding cities.

In his mind, in the Mist Age, this land was vast and mysterious, but for people in that period, perhaps their life scope was extremely narrow, and all they could see was the city they were in.

But he wanted to see what the people left behind at that time would be like.

"Okay, I want to see, but I don't know if I, who is not from the Half Moon Islands, will be allowed to participate?" Lou Jinchen asked.

If he was alone, he would naturally be able to sneak a close look at him, but now he was invited by someone else, so he also asked.

"We are here on Zhushan Island, so we are still qualified to invite friends to participate. Moreover, as your benefactor, as long as you say your name, I think no one in this Half Moon Islands will refuse you!" Zhu Lin said.

After that, Lou Jinchen walked casually on this Zhushan Island. There are not many people on this island, but it can be called a scenic spot.

He stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the vast sea in all directions.

The sea breeze made his robe flutter, his black hair was coiled up, and the blue-black sword was stuck in his hair like a hairpin.

If his age is considered among mortals, he is already not young, but among monks, he is not that old. At this time, he looks about [-] years old, and his body has long since lost his youthfulness.

Some only have the kind of mysterious and ethereal that the Tao rhyme gathers.

His eyes looked into the distance, as if he could see through the void. The void around him was clear and clear, but when he looked closely, he found that his body seemed to be fogged.

If you want to see through the fog again, you will find that the fog is no longer fog, but light and shadows. Lou Jinchen stood there, but formed a series of lights and shadows. Those lights and shadows looked like people, and they all looked at her. .

In her eyes at this moment, Lou Jinchen is mysterious and terrifying. He is like a quiet and fragrant flower. If you want to look closely, you will find that the flower is actually very scary.

She felt a little more awe in her heart.

Of course Lou Jinchen knew that others were looking at him. Zhu Lin looked at him, and his natural reaction to his whole body made her feel that Lou Jinchen was mysterious. Can't be sure.

Those lights and shadows would become real in her eyes. If she had malicious intentions, his thoughts would be like a fire that was provoked, burning all evil thoughts.

She quickly straightened her posture, and she was sure that Lou Jinchen was the strongest in the world.

The next day, Lou Jinchen found that Zhu Lin was more respectful to him, even her father Zhu Tingchun.

The three of them came to Junlai Island stepping on the clouds.

This island is very large, it is considered as the center of the archipelago, and it is blocked by other islands from the sea breeze, so it is more livable.

In addition to Zhushan Island, there are many other islanders. Lou Jinchen told them not to introduce himself, so he just followed behind and watched casually.

They didn't introduce him, so naturally no one came to pay attention to him. He was ordinary in everyone's eyes. Only people with the same level as him could pay attention to him.

He wandered among the crowd, but he had some understanding of the customs of the archipelago.

There are a total of thirteen islands here, which can be regarded as an alliance. Naturally, Junlai Island is the main one, but the atmosphere in the archipelago is quite good, and each island has its own spiritual things. If there is a need for each other, Just exchange it.

If you encounter pirates and the like, everyone will resist together.

On a square, everyone reminisces about the past, or introduces each other to meet new friends, or says which family has younger generations who have grown up and brought them over to recognize the elders.

Moreover, there are quite a lot of marriages in the entire archipelago, so many people are relatives around the corner.

Zhu Lin recognized three relatives, one aunt, one aunt, and one uncle.

Finally, when the island owner of Junlai Island came out, he made another statement, talking about how he had struggled to pick up the statue, and then he lifted the statue out amidst the praises of everyone.

He just didn't say where he got it from.

The statue was carried by four people and covered with a red cloth.

After placing it in the middle of the hall, he lifted the red skin.

What caught Lou Jinchen's eyes was a portrait, which was very complete, and he was holding a jade plate in one hand.

The other hand is pointing to the sky, and there is a taste of searching and thinking in the eyes.

And the robe on his body is wide, with dense writing on it.

Many people gathered around to watch, but the island owner of Junlai Island didn't stop them and let everyone watch.

He can be sure that everyone can't get any useful information, and he doesn't think any of these people can understand the words on it.

Because based on his background, he searched through the ancient books at home, and barely recognized more than ten characters, and there are still some uncertain guesses.

He doubted in his heart that this was the image of the priest at that time, and the words on his body should be the words of offering sacrifices to the secret spirit, engraved on the image of the priest so that it would not be lost.

Lou Jinchen didn't squeeze in, but his thoughts went there. It's just that the people surrounding him are staring at the priest's image one by one, and naturally there will be thoughts attached to it.

Therefore, it is not surprising that his thoughts fell on the statue of the priest.

His thoughts were wandering in a mess of thoughts.

He can feel that these dharma thoughts are cold, hot, cool, warm, light like the wind, and fragrant like flowers.

In the eyes, there is a layer of Dharma light attached to the statue.

However, Lou Jinchen's thoughts were like a ray of sunshine, and everyone seemed to feel the morning sun shining on their bodies.

But at this time, none of those who watched the priest's portrait carefully paid attention to it, and they couldn't care less.

It was the island owner of Junlai Island who stood aside and noticed.

After all, he doesn't need to look at the priest's portrait anymore, and he is very familiar with the practice methods of various families in the archipelago, and his own "Immortal Cause of God Law" is extremely sensitive to the legal nature of each method, so he pays attention to it. There is a strange ray of sunshine-like thoughts in it.

He wanted to know whose idea it was, but he couldn't find it for a while, his eyes searched all over the people in the field, all of them were focused on the statue, but he couldn't find it.

The image of the priest seemed to be illuminated by the morning light, and Lou Jinchen didn't know those words, but he saw a few familiar ones.

Because he had seen that couplet in Tianyan City before, and he didn't know the words on it, but there was a charm in the couplet, which made him understand the meaning naturally.

So he matched those characters with the current characters, which is equivalent to knowing those characters.

Later, he also saw a line of writing left on the dressing table, and he also remembered it in his heart.

Some of these words are also recognized.

And on the jade board held by the priest, there are two characters on it, one of which he does not recognize, but he does know one.

That character is 'Shou'.

What's 'tho'?

"Longevity?" Lou Jinchen wondered.

At this time, the island owner of Junlai Island suddenly said: "In this way, everyone can watch together in a mess, and the thoughts are intertwined, so we can't get detailed feelings. Why don't we watch them one by one?"

Although he was asking, he was obviously planning to do so, and everyone didn't have any opinions, so they came one by one.

Lou Jinchen stood beside Zhu Lin.

She asked in a low voice: "Grandfather, do you recognize the words on it?"

Lou Jinchen shook his head and said, "In the Misty Chronicle, because of the mist and the inconvenient transportation, it was difficult to understand the writing and language between countries, so the writing at that time was not unified, and they were different and varied."

"I'm afraid even everyone who studies ancient characters dare not say that they can read an unfamiliar ancient text." Lou Jinchen said.

"Engong, I heard that the ancient characters all contain strong dharma nature, which is extremely mysterious. Some people even say that one can get a dharma by understanding one word." Zhu Lin said in a low voice.

Lou Jinchen would not dislike this respectful girl.

He doesn't know much about the ancient characters of this world, and he doesn't have time to study them, but at his current level, he will naturally have his own understanding.

Immediately said: "Words are the expression of people's minds. Minds are subtle, like the wind, like sunlight, invisible and indeterminate, changing at any time, and the moment they are transformed into words is certain."

"So, the words written by a person must carry his mind at that moment."

"It can also be said that the moment he wrote the words, the meaning in his heart was determined and existed."

As Lou Jinchen said, he felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart, he had never thought about it like this before.

I couldn't help but think of Tao Te Ching and Quantum.

The Tao Te Ching says that what can be spoken is not the true Tao.

If one compares one's own mind to Tao, in this way, the words are what one's own mind looks like at a certain moment.

Then, expand it a bit more, what about the whole world?

Is it the same for all the phenomena of heaven and earth?
