25: Thoughts and Movements
Early in the morning, after refining the essence of the sun, Lou Jinchen carried water, chopped wood, and then began to practice swords.
Sword practice is the practice of the law for the current Lou Jinchen, and this method includes spells and mana.
He is looking for the goal of practicing the sword, he always feels that the sword in his hand needs to be practiced against the target, otherwise, the practice of the empty sword is always empty, and after determining the theory of the 'heart sword', the sword must be put into the heart of the goal, and the sword is cast in the way of the mind to transmit the law.
Suddenly, Lou Jinchen thought of the seventy-two changes in "Journey to the West" to avoid the three disasters and six tribulations, could this change technique actually be a spell formed in order to be able to hide from other people's minds?
Thinking too much, thinking too much. Lou Jinchen rubbed his face and pulled his thoughts back, this swordsmanship has not been practiced yet, don't think so much, he secretly warned himself not to think too divergently, he knows very well that this is one of his advantages, but it will also be a disadvantage, which will lead to his lack of concentration.
He looked up at the sun, and suddenly thought that there was a character in a certain martial arts novel, whose father asked him to practice swords in the valley against the mountains, and slash against the mountains every day.
However, he practiced his sword against the mountain every day, but felt that the mountain was so tall, how could he split it, this idea became stronger and stronger, but the swordsmanship he finally practiced was narrow, the sword went to the edge, and always avoided all the positive pressure, because he felt that he could not split the mountain, and could only penetrate through the gap between the mountains.
He suddenly thought that it was better to practice the sword with the sun and the moon.
The sun and the moon are in the heart, the sword and the sword have a direction and a goal, and the sun and the moon are shaking high in the sky, which is the entity, and represents a kind of illusion.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was excellent to practice swords with the sun and the moon.
So, from this day, he began to draw his sword against the sun and the moon, and the basic sword styles such as slashing, teasing, wiping, and stabbing rose towards the sun and the moon, and every time he tried his best.
However, the movement of his sword became smaller and smaller, and he was no longer as energetic as before, but he followed the sword, only to see him soar into the sky with a sword, slashing towards the sky continuously, chasing a sword with a sword, falling back to the ground again and again, and then drawing his sword towards the sun or the moon.
Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding seemed to frown and watched Lou Jinchen practice swords, not daring to say that he was wrong, after all, he was so powerful, but if he said that he wanted it, but who would make a sword to the sun and the moon?
Three months passed.
Shang Gui'an said: "Senior brother, I think you still need to practice with others, otherwise you don't know if it is useful to practice swords like this." ”
Lou Jinchen felt that he was right.
But at a glance, the Fire Spirit View was the Lord and the two junior disciples who couldn't block his sword, so he asked Deng Ding where there were strong people.
Deng Ding was silent for a while, and said: "There is a group of strongmen in Heifeng Village, Heifeng Village, also known as Heifeng Canyon, is a hole gushing out of the lungs of the earth, the environment is bad, but there are a group of evil cultivators and evil spirits gathered there, and they often go down the mountain together to do some evil things, such as the year before last, they attacked Qinghefang, one hundred and thirty miles away to the north, which was a place jointly founded by several families for cultivators to buy and sell. ”
"Last year, I heard that some of them went around in this area to find boys and virgins born in the lunar year, the lunar month, and the cloudy sun, and took their souls to refine a set of Yin Soul Sword."
"How can such wicked people and evil deeds allow them to stay in this world any longer." Lou Jinchen said.
"But, Senior Brother, many people want to clean them up, but they all return in vain, more of them are gone, Senior Brother, let's wait, wait for me to get started with Qi refining thoroughly, cultivate spells and go with Senior Brother." Deng Ding said.
Lou Jinchen looked at Deng Ding, but he forgot to ask him what stage he is now: "What level of cultivation are you at now?" ”
"Senior brother is already planting thoughts." Deng Ding said.
"That's going to be soon." Lou Jinchen said casually. Deng Ding's 'seed thought' is his decomposition of the step of refining and refining qi.
First of all, set the center, fix the heart, so that people can enter into the state of concentration.
Then there is the strong will, so that the consciousness of oneself is pure and strong, perseverance, and condensation.
Finally, there is a kind of thought, which is planted into the place where the essence of the three pills under the umbilicus gathers, and finally the essence is thoroughly refined in one step and turned into qi.
This magnificent way, Lou Jinchen helped him think of two kinds, one movement and one static, movement is to practice the knife, and static is to make one's own consciousness wander inch by inch in the body meridians, which requires a high degree of concentration to be able to make it not scattered, the so-called form is not scattered, in fact, it is difficult to do, most of them are not scattered, but the intention has been dispersed.
Therefore, it is not easy to achieve the intention of traveling in the meridians in the body, and if he does it, then he can start to cultivate thoughts.
"However, this is my practice, and I will go myself." After Lou Jinchen finished speaking, he went to the Lord to pray.
Alone with a single sword to break through the cottage, this is a plot in many novels, it is not excluded that he has such a complex, there is such a yearning, but this is indeed his practice, tempering the sword intent is practice, he thinks that he needs a battle now to verify his swordsmanship.
The viewer didn't say anything, Lou Jinchen brought a bag, a set of change of clothes, as well as two rice balls, a pot of water, and then rode on a horse, hung up a sword and left.
"Senior brother, it's getting late, why don't you go out again tomorrow?" Shang Gui'an chased after him and shouted.
"Since we want to move, why wait, we often can't do one thing, that is, we have too many concerns, and now, my sword is in my hand, the law is in my body, and my morality is in my heart, what reason is there not to go, the weather is good, the stars and the moon will rise, it is a good color."
After Lou Jinchen finished speaking, he rode away.
Shang Gui'an watched Lou Jinchen's figure disappear into the corner of the mountain with the sound of the road, and couldn't help but think: "Senior brother, if I am so free and easy, when will I be able to live like him." ”
Deng Ding also stood beside him, looked at this scene, and said, "Senior brother is a true swordsman." His eyes were also full of yearning.
Lou Jinchen rode a horse and headed towards the south, more than a hundred miles in the direction of Heifeng Village, Deng Ding could only point in one direction, he decided to ask all the way, anyway, he was not in a hurry.
Meditation should also be combined with dynamic practice.
Swimming City is a relatively important city in this area, because from here the boat right down the river, into a large river, so some nearby merchants will pull goods into the swimming city, generally divided into the swimming city to sell, part of it is loaded into the ship, down the river.
Therefore, the business road here is quite wide, and the south side of the building is near, and some businessmen are met on the road, most of them are in groups, and when they see the building near-chen, they are also paying attention to it, and they do not provoke.
Until it was dark, Lou Jinchen found himself in a desolate area, with no village in front and no store behind.
He looked at the stars and moon in the sky, found a leeward place, picked up a pile of dry wood from the ground, and then reached out and grabbed a handful of dried leaves, and gathered his thoughts between his hands and paws, and visualized that the sun was in his hands, and the leaves began to smoke, and after a while, they began to burn, and they were placed under the firewood, and soon a fire was burned.
He listened attentively, and suddenly ran into the mountains and forests, and when he came out again, he had already caught a snake, and he peeled off the snake's skin very smoothly, and then roasted the snake meat on the fire to eat.
A person, a horse, a sword, looking for a hillside, lighting a fire, roasting a string of snake meat on the fire, lying by the fire, looking at the stars in the sky and blinking his eyes, listening to the insects in the grass singing, this kind of comfort is what Lou Jinchen has always longed for.
Longing for life.
It's just that all the dangers are always hidden under the comfort and happiness.
The master once said that the evil and weird, like the weeds in the gutter, are cleaned up, and they will appear again after a while.
In the mountains and forests, there is a mourning team approaching, they are all wearing a white coat, looming in the forest, their bodies are fluttering, as if they were blown by the night wind, but they can always move against the wind, although they are not walking in a straight line, but zigzag forward, this kind of weirdness, Lou Jinchen saw the elegance of walking against the wind.
The moon rhyme appeared in Lou Jinchen's eyes, and he could see clearly that those were not people, but paper figures one by one, their eyes and mouths were bright red, and they had just been drawn with blood dots.
They came to Lou Jinchen's side and stood there in a row, looking motionless, weird and evil.
Lou Jinchen naturally stood up a long time ago, holding the hilt of the sword, holding the sword on the ground, looking at the sedan chair carried by those paper people, a black paper figure was faintly visible sitting there in the sedan chair, but this paper figure seemed to be wearing a gorgeous black dress, he was no longer dull, but a scholar.
Neither of them spoke, Lou Jinchen felt the yin and evil on the paper figures in this row, if they rushed towards him together, whether he could stop it, in this world, at least he couldn't determine the cultivation realm of others, but he could judge it through the external breath feeling, of course, this feeling was also extremely inaccurate, if he met someone else's hidden breath, he couldn't feel anything.
Suddenly smelled a scorching smell in his nose, Lou Jinchen glanced at it, and was sure that his snake meat was a little burnt, and immediately said: "You are standing here, fighting and not fighting, walking and not leaving, but why?" ”
As soon as he said this, the paper people were silent for a moment, but they actually moved, drifting away against the wind, and drifting away with a piece of sorrow and strange music in the light of the stars and moon.
After that, there was nothing to bother him anymore, and he began to practice his sword under the light of the stars and moon on the hillside.
The shining light on the tip of the sword drew a series of twists and turns in the dark night, and his own body was full of spiritual light, in addition to the hand that wielded the sword, his other hand also swiped together, forming a storm around his body.
There are a lot of forces in the practice of the sword, which requires the body to kink, so as to form a variety of sword-style power points, he is just extending it outside the body, he knows that he needs to be in the void of heaven and earth, and practice into a smart and fast body like a swimming fish, but this process is actually more difficult than his sword technique, although now there is the imperial method of swinging the sword to break through the air and follow the sword.
His surprise attack ability has greatly increased, and he can also use his sword to provoke storms, but he is not very satisfied, so he needs to feel the power of yin and yang in the void in continuous practice.
Originally, he wanted to comprehend some kind of escape method in the past, but he has not been able to comprehend it, he thinks that there may be some key point, but he can't figure it out, so this will come out, one of the big reasons is to see the spell of recognizing people.
The paper figures fluttered against the wind just now, which made him feel fresh.
After practicing the sword for a while, he also began to practice, for him, these are like seeing other people's different swimming styles in swimming, and seeing that he can naturally learn and practice.
He stood in the void, feeling the wind in the void, but soon he understood that his body would be the one who rose the wind, unless his physical body changed.
He thought that if the plane wanted to fly fast, it needed an extremely powerful driving force, and in his imagination, as in those mythological stories, one followed 108,000 miles and turned into a golden light to fly, which must require special secret cultivation to do.
However, the posture of those paper figures flying against the wind still gave him some inspiration, at least let him be Tengyun, after practicing for a while, he found some tricks that could make him more relaxed, waving his hands, balancing his body like a fish's fins, and constantly protecting and fluttering in the air as if by the power of the wind.
Although his speed didn't get any faster, it also allowed him to find some sense of resisting the wind.
After practicing these, he found that the roasted snake meat had already become charcoal, and just now he felt something, so he went to practice, completely forgetting his snake meat.
I didn't want to fight the beast anymore, so I took out the rice balls and ate them, drank some water, and then lay down with my sword in my arms and rested in silence.
The wind whispers in the ears, the leaves rustle, the fire slowly extinguishes, and the stars in the sky blink curiously.
A small snake crawled past his feet and burrowed into the grass.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on his face, Lou Jinchen woke up, came to the hillside, faced the rising sun, picked up the yang essence, turned a mouthful of yang essence in his mouth, swallowed the fresh breath into his stomach, and was wrapped in his own thoughts into the sea of qi.
After the day of Qi Xing, the sky was bright.
After finding a horse that had eaten grass in the mountains all night, he rode his horse again.
The specific location of the Black Wind Gorge, Lou Jinchen does not know, but you can see the terrain and the weather.
However, before he could start looking, he saw a small town.
The town is on either side of the road, and the road divides the town into two sides.
However, in the middle of the road there are horse rejection stakes.
It's noon, just when I'm thirsty.
There are tea shops, wine shops, and meat shops at the entrance of the town.
When he came alone on horseback, no one cared, and the people in the shop were still lying there asleep. Lou Jinchen got off the horse, picked up his sword, walked into the wine shop, knocked on the table, and the young man lying on the table woke up, and said angrily to Lou Jinchen with sleepy eyes: "What knock, hurry up to reincarnate." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to get the wine jar, and brought a bowl, put it in front of Lou Jinchen, poured a bowl, and the cloudy wine splashed on the table with a layer of dust.
When he had finished pouring a bowl of wine, he was about to put away the jar, but his wrist was pressed against the scabbard of a sword.
"You can put the wine down." Lou Jinchen was already dry-mouthed, and he had just woken up this sprinkler, and he was choked up, which made his heart feel angry, but he endured it and decided to take a look at the situation.
"Yo, objectively it seems that the amount of wine is not small, but in our Shuangji Town, no one can afford to drink this jar of wine." The bartender said mockingly, raising his hand to shake the sword away, but found that the sword was pressed against his hand and did not move.
"A jar of wine, why can't you afford to drink it." Lou Jinchen shook his hand, almost dialing his whole person and almost turning around and falling.
And Lou Jinchen poured the wine in the bowl on the ground, just now he saw that there was ash in the bowl, poured a bowl again, and took a sip, although the wine was mixed, it still had some taste, some like beer.
The bartender, who had been drawn with a sword, yelled.
"There's a strongman coming to our town, come on, come on." The bartender stood next to Lou Jinchen and shouted, with a fearless look, yelling.
Boom! The sound of the sword unsheathed, a white sword light flashed, and the bartender's head was light, but the bun was shaved off, revealing a piece of scalp.
His frightened feet went limp, and he collapsed on the table next to him.
At that moment just now, the sword light flashed, and he really thought that he had met an unreasonable strongman who wanted to kill him with a sword.
"Quack!" Lou Jinchen took a sword flower and returned the sword to its sheath, poured another bowl of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
And when the bartender found that he was fine, he touched half of his hair, and a wave of shame surged up in his heart, and he jumped up and shouted, "Good thief, you actually want to commit murder in Shuangji Town." ”
At this time, the people in the nearby shops were alarmed, and those who were originally resting and sleeping surrounded them, and they were all armed with blades, and their eyes were fierce.
Lou Jinchen had heard of the black shop, but he felt that he was afraid that the whole town was full of robbers blocking the road and cutting the path, otherwise there would not be a horse rejection pile in the middle of the road, and everyone seemed to have seen blood, and their eyes were like wolves that had eaten people.
"You're trying to kill someone?" Lou Jinchen squinted slightly, and asked with a glass of wine on his side.
"Boy, you drank wine and shaved other people's hair, what do you say about this?" One person asked.
"This is your place, your wine, tell me." Lou Jinchen raised his head to drink, exposing his neck, and some of them were about to move.
At this time, a voice outside the crowd said: "If you dare to use a sword in Shuangji Town, your courage must be not small, so leave your guts as wine, and if you cut people's hair, you will pay him a head, so is it fair?" ”
Lou Jinchen turned around and saw a young man with a pale face walking in.
He felt the breath of the other party, and there was a thick evil aura on the other party's body, and the evil aura seemed to be born, and this feeling made him think of a person, Xu Xin.
Although he only had a brief contact with Xu Xin, this person gave him a very similar feeling, this is a person who worships the gods.
Then the spell on his body must have been transformed from the divine law.
