Lou Jinchen sat on the top of the White Rock Cave, he felt that the sight here was more open, and if someone attacked, he could find it better.

Closing his eyes and feeling the yang essence, he held the unsheathed long sword in his hand, and there was a layer of incandescent brilliance circulating on the sword.

Man and sword practice together.

Lou Jinchen found that the 'Qi Xing Meridian Refining Technique' can incorporate the sword in his hand into the scope of 'Qi Xing', the qi comes out of the right hand, enters the sword body from the hilt, flows through the sword body, travels to the tip of the sword, and then enters the left hand meridians, and returns to the body into the sea of qi.

The forest became quieter and quieter, and even the sound of insects in the soil gnawing on grass roots could be heard.

There was a sudden commotion in his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a group of white immortals hugging in front of the Baiyan Cave, among which Bai Sanzhu was even more nervous and excited: "Huang Li is dead." ”

"Who is Huang Li?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"The patriarch of the Yellow Immortals!" Bai Xiaothorn quickly answered next to him.

"How did you die? Who killed him? Lou Jinchen asked in surprise.

"The concubine heard Huang Li's younger brother crying that it was Yuan Song who killed his brother." Bai Santhorn said.

"Because of what?" Lou Jinchen asked again.

"I heard that it was because Huang Li had some secret about him, threatened Yuan Song, and asked Yuan Song to kill you, the Taoist chief, but Yuan Song was angry and killed Huang Li, and he had already taken his clansmen to the outside of Qunyu Mountain."

Lou Jinchen immediately understood that it was this Yuan Song who came to kill him before, but he didn't succeed.

Immediately afterwards, she told Yuan Song's identity secretly, and Lou Jinchen knew that this Yuan Song actually had such a side.

"That Huang Li deserves to die, I heard that Huang Li wants Yuan Song to kill you, the Taoist Master, and if the Fire Spirit Viewer comes to ask, they will push Yuan Song out and blame some on Yuan Song to quench the anger of the Fire Spirit Viewer."

Lou Jinchen couldn't help but think, these demons in the mountains, one by one, learn to act, but most of them only learn the dark side of people, their nature is narrow-minded, they hold grudges, they have all kinds of cunning and cleverness, but they have no real wisdom.

The scenery in the mountains is good, but Lou Jinchen is not willing to stay for a long time, since the patriarch of the Yellow Immortal is dead, they will release the patriarch of the White Immortal back that night.

Lou Jinchen also agreed with Bai Xiaothorn that it could come to play in the view, so he took advantage of the brilliance of the stars and the moon to step on the leaves in the forest sea, fluttering like a fairy.

Returning to the Fire Spirit Temple, when he landed in the courtyard, the viewer raised his eyelids slightly, then closed his eyes and practiced again, while Lou Jinchen went back to sleep in his room.

When I went out this time, I wanted to go to Heifeng Village, but I didn't make it, and I was blocked in Shuangji Town.

He realized something, and he went home.

It is the time to clarify the theoretical path of one's own practice, which is the time to practice.

In the early morning, he first picked up water and came back, washed the water tank, poured in the pure water, and then began to practice, feeling the yang essence, but instead of directly entering the sea of qi as before, he made it walk in the meridians of the body, visualizing the sun falling into the body, refining the essence of the flesh and blood.

In his meridians, a mass of the sun's rays moved inch by inch, refining the essence and blood in the flesh and skin where the meridians passed into true qi.

Shang Gui'an and Deng Ding got up, and shouted 'Senior Brother' in surprise after seeing Lou Jinchen.

After that, they visited the Lord together, and the Lord didn't care, and still sat alone and practiced, not out of the door, like a big girl with yellow flowers.

In the entire Fire Spirit Concept, everything seemed to be static, and the two boys' cultivation had made some progress.

On the same day, the two boys pestered them to talk about their experiences in the past few days, and Lou Jinchen did not hide it, listening to the two boys' hearts, they were fascinated, and they were eager to succeed in their cultivation and replace them with their bodies.

Lou Jinchen did not leave again, and began to retreat here, and it seems that it is almost the end of the year, every day Lou Jinchen will read the book taken from the viewer, there are travelogues in the book, and there are also some descriptions of the application skills of spells, Lou Jinchen doesn't know where the viewer got these things, but the viewer's personal collection, obviously not easy to come by.

On this day, the servant of Deng Ding's family came, saying that Mrs. Deng hoped that Deng Ding could go home for the New Year, and of course, she also hoped to invite the master to join Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an.

Of course, Lou Jinchen didn't care, but the viewer didn't go, and Shang Gui'an didn't go, so Lou Jinchen didn't go either.

However, the servants of the Deng Mansion also brought news to Lou Jinchen, that is, Ji Fuzi was back.

This made Lou Jinchen very happy, the more he practiced, the more he knew about the world, the more he felt that he was unfamiliar with this world, and there were still many things he didn't understand.

And the Guan Zhu always stayed in the room and didn't want to talk much, Ji Fuzi practiced the Feather Transformation Method, which is one of the correct methods in the world, and he must have the knowledge he wanted to know.

So he went into the mountains and beat a wild boar of more than 100 catties, and took half of the wild boar to meet Ji Fuzi.

When he saw Ji Fuzi, he was very surprised, because he Ji Fuzi had tiredness and sadness in his eyes, and after asking, he learned that Ji Fu was attacked by a group of strongmen on the way back, and several disciples died.

"Master, who attacked you?" Lou Jinchen asked.

Ji Fuzi was silent for a while, and then he spoke: "Since the founding of the Qianguo, it has been more than 700 years, and at the beginning of the founding of the country, Gaozu set the king and the scholars to rule the world together. ”

Lou Jinchen heard this for the first time, and immediately asked, "Which monks are excluded?" ”

Ji Fuzi glanced at Lou Jinchen and said, "Your master is really not serious and won't teach you anything." ”

"Well, the viewer does have few words." Lou Jinchen said with some embarrassment.

"Do you know the difference between the Fa-rectification in the world, the side door, and the left way?" Ji Fuzi asked.

"The disciples know a little bit that the Fa-rectification includes Qi Refining, Feathering, Yama, Secret Food, Martial Arts, Spirits, Worshipping Gods, and Incense. As for how many side doors there are, I don't know. Lou Jinchen said.

"You're right, but in fact, the so-called Fa-rectification is only called Fa-rectification because there have been god-transforming monks, and this god-transforming is the god of refining and refining qi and refining qi from the qi refining method."

"It can be said that among the world's cultivation schools, they are all derived from the Qi Refining Method."

Among them, the branch that comes out of the Fa-rectification is called the side gate. And those cultivation sects that have not cultivated to the realm of transforming gods are the left path. ”

"Back then, the monks who decided not to govern the country with them referred to those monks who practiced by harming the physical souls of others, more precisely, there were people who practiced with the souls and blood of others, and most of these people were left-handed monks.

"If the old man's expectations are not bad, this person wants to ingest the old man's ghost into it and make his ghost flag go further." When Ji Fuzi said this, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

"Master, do you know who they are?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"They hide in the mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, hide their identities from each other, go out together when they have something, and practice separately when they have nothing to do, even if they recognize one or two of them, they can't catch them all, these people, there are ghosts, there are left-path monks, maybe even people I know, or Fa-rectification monks in the state capital."

Someone happened to come in with tea, and Ji Fuzi talked about bad sex, so he asked Lou Jinchen to go back, but when Lou Jinchen went out, he said: "On the fifteenth of this month, the old man will give a lecture on the Fa, you can come and listen to it." ”

Lou Jinchen left Ji's School and went to Deng Ding's house, Deng Mansion stayed for dinner, Lou Jinchen had dinner in Deng Mansion, and packed two boxes of pastries to go out, ready to bring to Guan Zhu and Shang Gui'an's junior brother to eat.

All the way towards the West City Gate, there were no pedestrians on the street, some only peeked through the doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street, dispelling clusters of darkness and forming clusters of dry yellow ground.

"Woohoo!"

Suddenly, there was a dog barking in the alley, and then, hearing a string of footsteps running by, he stood at the mouth of the alley and saw a girl running quickly.

The dog barked closely behind her, she had not been home for three days, these three days, she was begging for food, and then was chased and beaten by beggars on the street, she grabbed something and ran, hiding in this alley, sleeping under other roofs at night, stealing rice from the sun in the small yard in front of other people's houses to eat.

Some people can't finish cooking too much rice at home, so they will take it out and dry it, and of course feed it to livestock.

In order to get rid of the dog, she had lost one of her shoes, and hid in a pigsty, which held three pigs, and was covered with straw, and she did not dare to go out, so she shrank beside the pig, and leaned against one pig to keep warm.

A year ago, she never thought that she would hide in the pigsty with the pigs to warm up one day, but now she is doing it, and there is a sense of relief, at least it is not so cold here, and with three pigs around her, it seems that there is a little more security.

She is a beautiful lady herself, she is pampered by her parents at home, taken care of by slaves, goes out to take a sedan chair, eats jade crystal rice, drinks a hundred taels of silver and a tael of red robe tea, annoys some people tell jokes, and some people play with themselves as dogs.

But overnight, his home was shattered and was broken by a group of strongmen from nowhere.

In the chaos of herself, she was protected by the guards and fled from home, only her mother was around, and then the guards wanted to be rude to her mother, but she was killed by a knifeman, and then she and her mother became the prisoners of the knifeman, she thought that the fate of herself and her mother had fallen to the bottom, but she slowly found that her mother had changed.

Originally, she thought that it was just that her mother could not adapt to the change of identity, so her personality changed, but she found that she was wrong, her mother was no longer her mother, and one night, she saw her mother stealing blood food in the kitchen.

The next day, she heard that someone had died nearby, and that she had been gouged out by something, and she immediately thought of the lump of flesh and blood that her 'mother' had eaten.

At that time, there were people from the yamen to investigate, and some people came to the door, but there was no result, and then she heard that the catchers went to Xukeng Village, but since then she has never seen her mother eat flesh and blood, and she has not heard that someone in the neighborhood has died.

However, in recent days, she has found that her mother's eyes are becoming more and more terrifying, and sometimes at night, when she sleeps, she finds her mother standing by her bedside.

Sometimes she was sitting there, sometimes she was standing, when she was awakened, she saw the figure of her mother in the dark, she was very afraid, she didn't know what she was afraid of, but that fear was like thick ink that could not be dissolved, wrapped around her.

She felt like her world had become dark, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her at any given moment.

Fortunately, she found an excuse to hide, and then she hid everywhere.

At this moment, that familiar fear suddenly crept back into my heart for some reason.

"She's coming." The girl had this feeling in her heart, and she no longer called this woman a mother.

At the mouth of the alley, a woman came quietly, her hair was coiled, combed like a noblewoman, and her dress was extremely decent, which was incompatible with this dirty and smelly environment.

She stood at the mouth of the alley and looked inside.

"Nannan, why don't you go home." Step by step, the woman came to the pigsty.

"Nannan, Nannan, go home, my mother made something delicious, wait for you to go home and eat." The woman's voice was getting closer and closer, and although the tone seemed very intimate, there was no emotion in the voice.

The girl shivered as she hid in the pigsty, and she felt a darkness rushing towards her, about to devour her.

The woman's footsteps were already on the outside of the pigsty.

The alley was quiet, except for the voice of a woman.

Just then, a voice suddenly broke the dark silence.

"What are you looking for, lady?" The sound was like a bright light, piercing through the darkness.

As the voice fell, a man walked in from outside the alley.

The visitor was tall and thin, with hair tied up like a ponytail, slightly raised eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, bright eyes, a faint beard on his lips, and a few strands of hair on his forehead that could not be tied up, dangling in the wind.

"It's you." The woman recognized Lou Jinchen.

"It's me, I can't imagine that there will be a day when we will see each other again." Lou Jinchen said: "That day, let you hurt a person, but also let you enter the world, this matter has always made me linger, although I don't think I have the ability to help the world, but occasionally it is inevitable to have such thoughts, and that day, you snatched people's bodies, but I was stared at by demons, when I killed the demons and returned, you have already left, meet again today, it is my luck." ”

"Lucky?" The woman didn't seem to understand such a word very well, or maybe she didn't understand why Lou Jinchen said lucky.

"Yes, what a blessing it is to be able to make up for my regrets at a certain time in the past."

Lou Jinchen now thinks about this incident, and he regrets it twice, once in the temple, and once when he met the swordsman at the city gate.

When he was in the temple, he didn't save people, and a big reason was that it was too late, because he felt that the demon was already outside the temple.

And the second time he met the swordsman, he only let him come to him if he had a problem, one of the big reasons was that he felt that this swordsman was not a good person, and forgot that there was a girl who followed them at that time.

"I think it's your misfortune that you meet me again." The woman's words fell, and black overflowed from the seven orifices, blending into the boundless night.

"Zheng!"

The sword on Lou Jinchen's waist has been unsheathed, stride and slash, the person walks with the sword, a sword light cuts through the darkness, leaving a bright light in the darkness.

Immediately after that, an upward step provoked, and an invisible storm was set off in the darkness.

In the middle of these two steps, he was not far from the woman's presence, and in the darkness there were thousands of invisible threads rolling towards him.

I saw the sword in his hand roll up on the top of his head, cutting countless black threads, and stabbing into the void above his head, piercing the darkness, revealing the starry sky outside, and connecting with heaven and earth.

The woman hurried backwards, trying to escape, Lou Jinchen sprinted with a sword, and took more than twenty steps in one step, the cold light drew a line in the void, and the tip of the sword went straight into the woman's back heart.

The sword entered his body, but he felt that the sword was falling and falling.

Cutting down the momentum, the woman's body was cut open in an instant, and a black cloud rushed into the darkness, leaving only a dry human corpse to fall to the ground, which instantly shattered into dust.

Lou Jinchen chased after the sword in his hand, but the darkness had already disappeared into the night, there were so many alleys, so many houses, so many people in this city, the other party was bent on hiding, it was difficult to find.

Lou Jinchen returned to the pigsty, stood on the edge of the fence, looked at the girl who had already stood up from the pigsty, and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't save you at that time." ”

The girl did not answer, but she cried, she did not cry after she found out that her mother had become a monster, and she hid in the alleys of some city for three days without crying, but at this time she cried.

Lou Jinchen stretched out his hand and said, "Come, if you want, come back to the Fire Spirit Temple with me." ”

The girl stretched out her hand and put it on the hand of Jinchen upstairs, and then she was held up by a strong force, and she felt as if the heavens and the earth were holding herself up, straight up to the sky.

Looking down, the darkness that she couldn't get out of anyway, the alley that had trapped her for three days, was already at her feet, she saw the lights of every house in the city, trying to find the house she lived in before, only to see a darkness.

But look up, the sky is full of stars.

In the distance, the green mountains are like mist, and the night breeze is sent.

In the city below, the front feet of the three pigs in the pigsty were on the fence, and their eyes shone with a human light, looking at the people in the sky who were far away.

Two old men came out of the house, and the old woman came to the pigsty with a lamp in her hand and a wind in the other, and said, "You must be obedient, and in two years, after the atonement is over, you will naturally be let go, and if you are not obedient, you will be sold to the butcher Zhang in the west of the city." ”
