18: Buy the road
The breeze blew slowly, blowing Lou Jinchen's thoughts as if flying onto the moon in the sky.
Seeing the moon and thinking of his hometown, although he said to himself in his heart that his parents don't have to worry about him, he understands very well that his parents must be uncomfortable, and he only hopes that this month he will see the scene of himself fighting with these people who are no longer human, and he will not be seen by his parents through the moon.
People can struggle in the mud by themselves, but they don't want their loved ones to see this.
Lou Jinchen looked for the living people among them, and several women were still alive, they knelt on the ground in disheveled clothes and wept, and some of them were constantly thanking.
He asked everyone to get dressed and clean up, and he himself began to search his body, and he actually found a few spell books, although they were all left-hand miscellaneous streams, but they could also increase their knowledge.
He also untied the hunter from the tree and buried the bodies of several of the victims, and the living women also silently followed him, digging the ground with wood, and it took a lot of effort to dig a big pit and bury several people side by side.
"If you suffer together here, you will be buried here together, and if there is an afterlife, you can support each other!" Lou Jinchen sighed, he didn't know if there was reincarnation in this world, but being able to be reincarnated was always a good wish for the deceased.
The others, Lou Jinchen didn't bury them at all, Qingshan has its own purification ability, the beasts in the mountains will eat them, and the grass and trees can also eat them.
He put his sword in his belt and carried a lantern that lay on the stone.
With three women, looking for a way back in the forest, he was very tired, so tired that he couldn't tiptoe anymore, he didn't feel tired when he fought, and even felt that he had infinite mana, but when he stopped, he realized that he was actually exhausted, and he dug a pit and buried a few people, so he walked a little shaky, and the three women who followed him were the same, and everyone was silently trekking in the mountains.
They searched for the mountain path that some wild beasts and hunters had walked on, and then walked on the path washed out by the mountains and rivers, and walked leisurely.
In that dense forest, there are unknown eyes peeping, beasts, or ghosts, mountains, or those kinds of immortals, these things see the scene of Lou Jinchen's sword and killing, this scene will be spread all over the mountains, but they also see that Lou Jinchen is the end of the crossbow, want to take his body, or devour his soul, but suddenly feel a terror, a sense of palpitations.
His eyes fell on the lamp that Lou Jinchen was holding in his hand, only to see that the light was hazy, covered by glass, not afraid of the mountain wind, but vaguely seemed to see that there seemed to be a person sitting there in the lamp, and then he had to look closely, and he couldn't see anything, the light was still a light, but no one dared to sneak attack again.
If someone can see from a high place, they will see a lone lamp, walking through the green hills in the night, swaying in the night wind and ink, looming, the world is silent, and a crescent moon in the sky seems to be afraid that the light will not be able to illuminate the way forward for him, and follows closely.
In the early morning, the sun breaks through the clouds and shines on the heavens and the earth.
Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding had already gotten up, and found that the water tank in the kitchen and the water tank in the courtyard outside were empty, and they immediately understood that Lou Jinchen had not come back yet.
Immediately came to Lou Jinchen's room, and found that it was the hunter who was sleeping on the bed, and couldn't help but worry, they saw Lou Jinchen leave, and knew that he was the uncle who went to save the hunter, so they immediately ran towards the room of the master, and shouted: "The master, the master, the senior brother has not come back yet." ”
They shouted as they slammed the door of the Lord's room.
There was a sigh in the room, the door opened from the inside, and the viewer stood there, looking at the two boys, and sighed again in his heart.
The two boys looked at the silent appearance of the viewer, their faces changed in vain, they were worried about Lou Jinchen's safety, but now when they saw the appearance of the viewer, they felt that Lou Jinchen might have been killed.
"Wow!" Shang Gui'an suddenly cried, he was already depressed in his heart, all kinds of unspeakable grievances since his mother's death, originally because he saw Lou Jinchen's efforts, he took it as an example in his heart, in his opinion, Lou Jinchen was so good, his home was destroyed by the disaster, he threw himself into the fire spirit concept alone, and he learned the law in a short time under his efforts.
However, he still died, and he thought that he might die like this, and throw his body in the wilderness after death, and no one in his family would remember it, so he came from his heart and cried bitterly.
Deng Ding, who was next to him, heard Shang Guiding's crying, and his face was also very bad, and he asked, "Master, shall we go to find the senior brother." ”
"Alas!" The viewer sighed: "Lou Jinchen is fine." ”
He sighed that his two preparatory disciples cared so much about Lou Jinchen, and the Taoist temple he built was not built for Lou Jinchen, accepting him as a registered disciple and abducting his two disciples.
After Shang Gui'an heard that Lou Jinchen was fine, his crying changed instantly, less sad and more happy.
At that moment, a voice shouted, "Man, come and boil the water, I have brought back the wild boar that I hunted." ”
Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding ran to the courtyard to see that Lou Jinchen had returned, covered in blood, with a black sheath sword stuck in his waist, a lamp pinned to his waist, and a black wild boar of more than 100 catties lying at his feet.
Behind him were three more embarrassed women.
"Senior brother, you're injured." Shang Gui'an asked with tears in his eyes.
"No, I'm fine, really, look." After Lou Jinchen finished speaking, he turned around twice, took the lamp and sword from his waist, and saw that the viewer was also coming, and immediately handed the lamp to the viewer, who looked at him, looked at the wild boar on the ground, and said, "Wait for you to rest and come to my room to pass on your sword refining formula." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went back, he felt that he should consider recruiting one or two boys again, these two boys were closer to Lou Jinchen than he respected himself, but he was not angry, he knew very well that he practiced in the room all day, Lou Jinchen got along with him day and night, explained the key to cultivation for them, it was normal to be close, if this was not close and loved by them, then he considered these two boys instead.
On this day, the two boys, with the help of the hunter, washed and peeled the wild boar, divided some meat for the hunter to take back, and left some fresh meat to eat, and the rest were salted to make air-dried meat, and for a while the fire spirit was filled with the fragrance of air-dried meat, and some meat and wild vegetable leaves were put in the porridge eaten every day to cook in it, and the rice was steamed and air-dried meat, although it was still monotonous, but it was not as dull as before.
The three women stayed in the Fire Spirit Temple for two days, and after recovering some of their spirits, they also left crying.
Every once in a while, Lou Jinchen will also go into the mountains to hunt some fresh beasts and come back to eat.
He went to the city to buy some seasonal vegetable seeds, and opened a flat field near the Taoist temple by the stream, and planted the seeds, so that there would be green vegetables to eat in the future.
Since that day when he killed the people in Granny Du's valley, everything has calmed down, and the Fire Spirit Temple has gained fame and foundation in this realm.
Summer turned to autumn, and the heat was still there during the day, but at night, the temperature dropped quickly, and Lou Jinchen was lying on a chaise longue, which was sent by the young hunter.
His name is Liang Wu, he used to learn hunting with his uncle, after his uncle died, he wanted to give his grandmother, and his aunt remarried, so he was still raising his niece, as for his own father who couldn't get out of the mountains with his uncle to hunt in the early years, he himself was brought up by his uncle.
Grandpa also died in the mountains that year, so he decided not to hunt anymore, but to learn to be a carpenter, and the bamboo deck chair was sent by him.
Lou Jinchen did not refuse his kindness, but was very happy, Xia Zhuan autumn night to be able to be on this recliner to watch the stars and moon in the sky, blowing the mountain breeze, feeling the faint birdsong blowing from the mountain, this is also a pleasant thing, and seeing Lou Jinchen happy, Liang Wu is also happy, because he feels that he has done something meaningful to Lou Jinchen.
Yesterday, Lou Jinchen went to Ji's Academy to ask, Ji Fuzi still hasn't come back, a month ago, he went to Ji's School to listen to the Fa, but at that time, Ji Fuzi had already taken his disciples to Fucheng to study.
Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding are still not yet started, and they are still in the stage of entering the stage, but now they can hold on to it for a long time in silence.
At this time, he had already understood that his ability to refine and refine qi overnight was by no means in the normal category.
These days, he is summing up, reminiscing about the battle that night, and it is not a norm to have a flash of inspiration, but a person who is good at summarizing can turn his own flashes of inspiration into his own normal ability.
In addition, he meditates on yin and yang every day, and he feels that as long as the feeling of yin and yang deepens, the power of the sword in his hand will naturally increase, not to mention, the alchemy of the master is a method of refining sword weapons, which says that the best thing to refine sword weapons is yin and yang.
Therefore, in addition to his cultivation, he used the etheric yin and sun essence fire to refine the sword in his hand, and this kind of refining can actually be said to let his Dharma thoughts infiltrate into it, and then the sword will be like a part of his body, and he will move the sword.
In the past two months, I have felt that the alloy sword in my hand has a little more sense, although it is very weak, but it is a thing to be happy about. At this time, his sword was unsheathed and lay on the low table next to him, and with Lou Jinchen's breathing, the moonlight on the sword body flowed.
There is a fire in the courtyard of the Taoist temple, which attracts the surrounding mosquitoes to throw into it, so that the two children who lie here to enjoy the shade will not be bitten by moths.
Of course, the two boys did not have a recliner, Liang Wu wanted to bring another recliner, but Lou Jinchen refused, because he knew that Liang Wu needed to support his family now, and a recliner would already take him many days.
Both boys sat under the eaves of the porch, closing their eyes and sitting still.
Lou Jinchen asked them to think about what they were most afraid of today, thinking about the same thing day and night, maybe they could get used to it, and after getting used to it, they wouldn't care so much, and they would be able to subdue this delusion.
"It's so quiet." Lou Jinchen lay there looking at the starry sky, his heart was quiet, and his thoughts seemed to be as good as a mirror in the sea of air.
Suddenly, a voice appeared in his ears.
"Dao Chief, Dao Chief......"
Lou Jinchen opened his eyes and looked in the direction where the sound was, only to see a person lying there on the courtyard wall, and the head that poked out was a little triangular, like the female snake demon in a cartoon in Lou Jinchen's heart.
With just one glance, Lou Jinchen woke up, but he didn't move, just responded with his eyes.
"Dao Chief, the concubine is the Bai Clan of Baiyan Cave on the shore of Biyan Lake, and I am here today to invite Dao Chang to the mountains to participate in our group of immortals."
Lou Jinchen looked at this woman with a triangular head, obviously he didn't see his mouth move, and there was no obvious sound coming, but the voice came into his heart, as if it was transmitted through his eyes.
"Is this sound felt by me? And not to listen to it with the naked ear? Lou Jinchen suddenly felt in his heart, the two boys next to him were still sitting there, and they didn't hear the words of the triangle-headed woman at all.
His heart is interested, what he is interested in is not to participate in some inexplicable group of immortals, but to come to this mountain group of immortals, it can't be any immortal family, it can only be a monster in the mountain or something.
He was interested in how the voice was delivered.
Sound is a kind of opening method, it is emitted and transmitted in the air, and everything that can be heard can be heard.
So this voice is only heard by oneself, what is the principle of that?
Secret transmission in martial arts novels? Condensing sound into a line into the ears of a designated person?
Lou Jinchen felt that he couldn't do it, so did the other party do it?
He thought about it for a while and felt that this might be the accurate transmission of consciousness, but the specific decision Lou Jinchen couldn't figure it out for a while.
However, he did not feel the dangerous hostility, so he stood up, came to a short distance in front of the courtyard wall, and said, "What kind of spell are you, which can be transmitted directly to my heart. ”
"Dao Chang Rongyu, this spell is called the voice of the heart, it is taught by a master, without the permission of the master, it is inconvenient for the concubine to say too much." The woman with the triangle head was lying on the courtyard wall, Lou Jinchen saw that her hands were blue and black, not like human hands, but like the claws of a lizard.
Lou Jinchen heard that those demons who took the form of humans were ashamed to be seen by humans.
He didn't look at it much, and he didn't answer the triangle woman's words directly, which made her think that Lou Jinchen was disgusted with herself, so she even shrank her head half under the courtyard wall.
Lou Jinchen was thinking about the words 'heart and mind'.
The mind, that is, the mind, can be regarded as the origin of consciousness, and the mind, which can be seen as the thread of transmission.
Sure enough, it was heard through thoughts.
So how did this idea get around? It couldn't have been Fa Nian covering the other party, because he didn't feel offended when he himself was 'voiced by his mind'.
It's not on the outside, it's on the inside. Spreading the voice to others, the most important thing is to determine the goal, the eyes can determine the goal, then the heart can also determine the goal, maybe know his name, the birth date, or through the clothes left on the body, he thought of a lot.
Lou Jinchen sat back on the recliner, closed his eyes, sketched the woman with a triangular head in his heart, opened his eyes again, stared at the woman with a triangular head shrunk on the courtyard wall, and said to him in his heart: "The voice of the heart, is this so?" ”
Lou Jinchen's words fell, and the woman's eyes immediately showed surprise, and she said, "It turns out that the Taoist chief will too." ”
Lou Jinchen smiled and said, "What kind of immortals are you talking about?" There was no voice of Lou Jinchen in the void, but the meaning of the words seemed to be transmitted to the heart of the woman with the triangle head through her eyes.
"The Immortal Society is a five-year meeting of all the immortals in our Fish Mountain, which is set up to resolve disputes with each other, and will also distribute immortal cards at the conference."
"It's kind of interesting, what kind of dispute is your dispute? What is an immortal brand? Lou Jinchen actually felt that this conference was quite advanced, like the United Nations, which was set up to settle disputes.
"Our immortal family is supported by the incense of the grooms in the city, so there will be a competition for incense between each other, and then the grooms may also quarrel and enmity, which will implicate us, so it needs to be resolved, and the fairy card is a qualification card, only if the ghost can travel, and there are two immortals as a guarantee, the fairy card can be issued, and the fairy card can have its own horseman near this group of fish mountains."
Lou Jinchen understood, this is a group of monster cultivators who have divided the human city into territory.
"I have nothing to do with you, so why did you invite me to your conference?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"I really don't dare to hide it from the Taoist, two months ago, the Taoist was in the mountains to show his might, we had sisters who saw it back and told us, and then there were sisters who came out of the mountain to see the fire spirit temple where the Taoist was located, and they were worried that they would often offend the Taoist in the future, so they wanted to ask the Taoist to negotiate a road money."
When Lou Jinchen heard this, he realized that this was the case, because the establishment of the Fire Spirit Temple was the intersection where they came out of the mountain, and they were worried that they would provoke themselves.
When the Fire Spirit Temple was silent, it actually intercepted the way of others.
Lou Jinchen smiled dumbly.
