4: Spring is in the wild

The wind on the hillside, flowing down the river into front of the Taoist temple, blows a few flowers and plants swaying.

After the viewer finished speaking, he took out a gray bag hanging from his waist, which seemed to be a pony made of horse skin, only to see the master throw the pony into the air, and at the same time blow out a wisp of red silk-like breath into the pony's body, and the pony was actually gushing with a cloud of red light and haze, and a neighing sound in the red light, a black horse jumped out, but the eyes seemed to be burning with flames, which made people know that the horse was extraordinary at a glance.

Lou Jinchen looked at this spell with great greed, thinking that if he had this thing, he wouldn't need two legs to go anywhere.

He hung the lantern on the side of the saddle, turned over and got on the horse, and found that there was a place for a sword to hang on the saddle, so he hung the sword as well, and a kettle and rice balls were hung on it in a baggage, turned over and got on the horse, lifted the reins, clamped his legs, and the horse ran out.

In the Taoist temple, the two boys looked at Lou Jinchen who was riding away, and only felt that Lou Jinchen's deliberate spirit was flying, which surprised them!

In the past ten days, Lou Jinchen has been the same as them, working, eating, practicing, and occasionally saying some strange things, in their opinion, this is a person who likes to say strange things, but Lou Jinchen at this moment is not the same as what they look like in their hearts.

The master didn't care about the thoughts of the two little Taoist boys, he was now focused on refining medicine, only hoping that everything would go well, and instructed the two boys to close the gate, and then returned to Dujiazhuang to take care of their medicine.

Lou Jinchen hardly had to control this night-like horse by himself, it seemed to know the road, and he was not afraid of stepping on a pit.

Lou Jinchen, who was sitting on the horse, was pondering the words of the master in his heart: "Spring is in the wild, summer is in the eyes, autumn is in the meridians, the sword is hidden in my heart in winter, and when the time comes, the sword starts in the heart, and the ghosts and gods are cut to see the green mountains." ”

As he recited this passage, the phrase 'the sword weapon in winter is hidden in my heart', and he could understand that 'spring is in the wilderness', what is in the wilderness of spring, and at the same time, the 'spring', 'summer', 'autumn', and 'winter' do not refer to the seasons, but to the order of practice.

Based on his own Chinese language skills, the translation is: "In spring, I saw a sword between heaven and earth, in summer, the sword has been imprinted in my eyes, in autumn, the sword has entered my meridians and qi into one, and in winter, the sword is hidden in the heart......"

The latter sentence is already very straightforward, but it may also be that there are other symbolic meanings in this straightforwardness, and he doesn't understand it for a while.

He thought of another sentence: "The gentleman hides his weapon and waits for the time to move!" ”

The utensils here do not refer to a certain artifact, and the collection in it does not refer to the hiding of things.

The whole thing is that a gentleman should work hard to learn his skills well, and when the time comes, he can give full play to his talents.

Therefore, the sword weapon here is hidden in my heart, and it may not only refer to the sword weapon, but also a general symbol.

Of course, since it is said that it is a sword trick, it will be understood around this 'sword', and as for the broader meaning, it is not the scope of his current consideration.

The sword is obviously in hand, why do you say that the sword is in the field?

Therefore, he thinks that it is not the actual sword weapon, but the swordsmanship.

"Spring is in the wild." Lou Jinchen's understanding in his heart slowly became clear: "In the spring, seeing the various phenomena and laws between heaven and earth is like seeing all kinds of swordsmanship, and I combine them into a sword weapon." ”

"Summer is in sight: In the summer, I realized that this phenomenon and law were engraved in my eyes, and I learned the swordsmanship."

Lou Jinchen thinks that it should be like this, a piece of law, different people see, read and hear, naturally have different ways of understanding, and it is not easy to distinguish between right and wrong, as long as you can be self-correct in your heart, you can explain it, it is a kind of understanding, and being able to cultivate the law is the true truth.

Lou Jinchen was happy in his heart, this is a kind of joy after understanding a truth, and it is to understand the meaning of the person who said this.

And now the only Dharma rhyme he can feel now is the 'sense of yin and yang' after cultivating the qi refining method to open up the sea of qi, and he seems to be able to feel the yin and yang changes between heaven and earth all the time.

It was brought from the rotation of the sun and the moon, and as long as he wanted, he could collect the yang essence and moon between heaven and earth at any time.

"See the law, and make it a sword technique, I see yin and yang, and I should practice the law of yin and yang as a sword technique."

After Lou Jinchen knew this in his heart, he immediately drew his sword and swung it.

He tried to use that ability to sense yin and yang on the sword to form his own swordsmanship.

Swinging again and again, he didn't feel a trace of tiredness and impatience, and he didn't feel the slightest frustration about not being able to do it for a while, because he clearly felt that every time he swung his sword, there was a little progress.

His mana is attached to the sword with his thoughts, and through the sword, he senses yin and yang, and through the sword he attracts the sun essence fire gathered by the sunlight in this day, so that the essence fire is attached to the sword, so that it can easily harm those weird and evil people.

He felt that in this way, he could also temper the sword in his hand through the Sun Essence Fire and Tai** Fire, so that this alloy sword with excellent toughness could become a magic sword.

His mind diverged, and he thought of a lot at once.

When the sun was about to set, he actually found a little feeling, when the sword waved, there was a touch of brilliance attached to the sword body, and it was especially famous at the tip of the sword.

The joy in the heart seems to nourish the erection of the mind, and in this process, the yang essence is absorbed into the sea of qi, forming the true qi mana, and every wisp of mana is the condensation of the mind.

Horses step on the twilight, and pedestrians can be seen on the official road all the way into their respective villages.

According to Lou Jinchen's understanding of this world, there will be one or two people with spells in every village, and the methods they cultivate may not be able to live forever, or even prolong their lives, but they have a very high status in the village.

Red and white ceremonies, all sit.

Most of them can be cured, and some can pass through the yin, raise ghosts, drive corpses or draw talismans. For them, these are not the secret methods of immortality, but just a family heirloom.

As for that Dujiazhuang, it must be a big Zhuangzi, and even the master of the Fire Spirit Temple has to ask her to refine medicine, which shows how important it is to learn a craft.

The passers-by on the road did not have much fear when they saw his horse, but they avoided the front, looked at his horse, and talked with their companions, and they knew that they were also accustomed to seeing strange beasts.

At a three-way intersection, there are several thatched houses, each with the flag of tea, wine and food, here is a resting place, the thatched hut is ventilated on all sides, but it covers a large area, there are some businessmen, dart masters, or people who visit relatives and friends, the water city is located in the water and land transportation artery, and the goods are transported to the water city for transshipment, or they are sold in the water city, so the business travel on the official road around is endless.

The Lord told him the main sign, this is one place, turn from this to another road, and walk more than twenty miles.

He decided to rest here, the horses wouldn't get tired, but the people would.

Although he opened up the sea of qi, he still did not get rid of the mortal womb, and the true qi on his body was mainly from refining his own essence, and the time for collecting the essence of yin and yang was still short.

In the shadows outside the tea shop, take out the rice balls and eat them with water.

I listened to the people in the tea shop.

"Grandpa, what's going on with this Matoupo, it's so evil, even Mr. Lu Da is trapped in it." It was a young man who asked the question, Lou Jinchen didn't look back, but he had already remembered the people in the vegetable shop at the previous glance, and the one who asked was the pair of grandchildren sitting on the edge of the tea shop.

"Matoupo was originally a village, more than ten years ago, overnight, all the people in the village were hanged, up to the sixtieth nail down to the baby, all hanged, this incident shook all the surrounding villages, even if the city sent people to investigate the cause, but in the end there was no result."

"There are Taoist priests, monks go there to chant the scriptures, the resentment is still not gone, some people pass from Matoupo, often see the lights in Matoupo Village, there seem to be people living, but after some people go in, but few people can come out alive, even if they come out, they will suddenly hang themselves one day in the future, so some people propose to build a temple town there to lock up the resentment there."

"Mr. Lu Da, a family of temple builders in the city, was entrusted to take the children of the family to build a land temple there, and suppressed the evil that was bred by resentment in the land with the land god, after the land temple was completed, Matoupo Village quieted down, but some time ago, the lights began to appear in Matoupo Village again, and some people heard the voices of people in the village."

"Alas, I don't know if the suppression of the Land Temple has lost its effect, or if there is something else, Mr. Lu Da went to explore, but he never returned, this time Mr. Lu Er invited those people to Matoupo, just to rescue Mr. Lu Da."

The old man's words made Lou Jinchen understand that there were still people who went to this Matoupo Village.

He rested almost, then got up, turned on his horse, and rode away, and when he turned to the road that led to Matoupo, the eyes of the old man who had just spoken immediately chased after him.

Since the accident in Matoupo Village, that road has been abandoned a lot, and few people take it, except for the kind of people who have no choice but to walk here, or who feel that they have the ability.

Lou Jinchen has a heart, his heart is happy, and the horse is like the wind.

As the sun had set, and as night fell, his horse slowed down, and the road ahead was overgrown with weeds, and it had not been a long time since a large number of pedestrians had passed.

A stream next to it was clogged with mud and leaves, and the yin qi was depressed.

A few snakes with various stripes were disturbed and burrowed into the grass, and in the distance, several yellow-skinned people stood on tiptoe in the grass and looked at him, their eyes flashing with a faint light.

The mountains in the distance had become the darkest darkness of the night.

In the midst of this black and gray desolation, on a horse-like hillside at the foot of a distant mountain, there are bits and pieces of light that emit mysterious and strange things, it is a village.

Lou Jinchen knew that this Matoupo Village should have arrived.
