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 Zhulin, who Lou Jinchen had rescued before, and the old man next to her was her father.

When she returned, she told her father about the danger she had encountered in the northern seas, and then said that she had been saved by a 'rainbow light'.

So her father took her here, and her father said that a few days before she returned, a rainbow light swept over the archipelago, and came in this direction, and the archipelago shook at that time.

Later, someone came back from the volcano and said that he saw a man coming in the rainbow light and entering the volcano.

So they came here, and stopped on an island reef on the edge of the volcano, and looked at the sword refining Lou Jinchen above the top of the mountain.

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

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

They were horrified when they saw the skill of the man with the sword.

It wasn't until forty-nine days later that they saw that Lou Jinchen no longer entered the volcano after the sun came out, but was still in the sun's rays, as if practicing swordsmanship.

The sword technique was thrilling, and just looking at it, I felt that if the sword came towards me, I didn't know how to resist it.

I guessed in my heart that the other party might have finished refining the sword.

Of course, Lou Jinchen had already discovered this pair of father and daughter, and he didn't want to deal with it, but this pair of father and daughter greeted him and said, "Engong, please stay, Engong ......"

Zhu Lin hurriedly shouted.

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

Lou Jinchen still didn't want to go, but the other party, the owner of the island, Zhu Tingchun, was strongly invited.

Lou Jinchen went with the mood to see one more thing.

After I went, it was indeed a small island covered with bamboo forests, and the people on the island lived in the bamboo forests, and the bamboo houses built of bamboo forests were also very quiet.

The other party first offered good wine, the wine was bamboo wine, and then called Mei Ji to dance, the island owner Zhu Tingchun looked at Lou Jinchen Although he watched the dancing girl dance, his eyes were clear, and the positioning of Lou Jinchen in his heart was clearer.

After that, when talking about the method of cultivation, they knew that Lou Jinchen was cultivating the Qi Refining Dao, and they immediately said that they also cultivated the Qi Refining Dao, and presented the method they had cultivated to Lou Jinchen.

The reason why they settled here was because the qi of the wood spirit and the water spirit were abundant.

Lou Jinchen only looked at it once, and only one of them had cultivated to the fourth realm, and many things in the fourth realm were 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 refining qi and don't know the direction of our cultivation in the future, if we want to go further, do we need to change the method of cultivation?" ”

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

"Don't know where to go? ......" Zhu Tingchun asked with some eagerness.

"I'll mark a way forward for you, after the mark, there will be a direction, this fifth realm needs to be ......"

Lou Jinchen directly said the state of the Five Realms and the Six Realms, as for how they will advance in the future, they need to find their own way.

The fifth realm is to polish the Dharma thoughts in yin and yang, and finally achieve the Dharma thoughts like great medicines, they don't have to do this, they just need to achieve the same effect.

That night, Lou Jinchen stayed on this island, and it rained in the sky.

Rain is a thunderstorm.

He saw the thunder and lightning falling into the bamboo forest, and he could vaguely see that there was lightning shining in the bamboo forest.

The next day, Zhulin sent him a flute, which was blue-purple, purple in the green, slender and very beautiful.

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

"Engong, this is a flute made of Qinglei old bamboo on our island."

Lou Jinchen took it and held it in his hand, only to find that it was quite heavy, and when his fingers flicked on it, it made a crisp sound like jade, and at the same time, his Dharma thoughts penetrated into it, and there was a slight numb feeling from his Dharma thoughts.

He felt a hint of induction.

"This flute is kind of interesting!" Lou Jinchen said.

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

"Okay, yes, do you have anything here, give me two plants with roots." Lou Jinchen said.

"Yes, I'll dig up two plants and give them to you later." Zhu Lin said quickly, although this Zhushan Island is not small, there are many bamboos, but there are not many real green thunder bamboos, and the two green thunder bamboos that can be planted are also extremely heart-wrenching for Zhulin.

Moreover, if someone comes to buy the high-grade green thunder bamboo, it will take a lot of money to be able to buy it, and many times Zhushan Island does not sell it, only the spiritual herbs that are helpful for their cultivation.

Zhu Lin asked again: "Engong, haven't you asked Engong's name for so long?" ”

"My name is Lou Jinchen, and the dojo is 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 archipelago, Lou Jinchen's reputation also spread, last night, after Lou Jinchen finished talking about the cultivation of the fifth and sixth realms.

Her father was lost in thought, and so was herself, forgetting to ask Lou Jinchen's name.

She only remembered this morning, originally she thought that there was someone with such a powerful swordsmanship, and it was actually the Jiangzhou Sword Immortal she had heard of.

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

"What kind of 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 Junlai Island, the largest island in our Half Moon Islands, fished up a statue of a god from the bottom of the sea, and the statue was full of ancient words, and he took it out and said that it was for everyone to see if anyone could interpret it. ”

"Oh, the idol? Is it ancient? Lou Jinchen asked.

"I heard that it is very ancient, full of the style of the Misty Age, and the text on it is even older than the text of the Misty Age, so the owner of Junlai Island can't 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 he was the king of a small country, because of refuge, he came to this Half Moon Islands, and it has been passed down to this day, and the method he cultivates is also relatively mysterious. ”

"But for so many years, we all know that their practice method is based on the method of sacrificing to the gods and integrating other streams of the Tao, called "The Law of the Self and the Gods", which is mysterious, confusing the gods and summoning the soul, saying curses, judging people's life and death, turning fiction into reality, which is extremely terrifying."

Lou Jinchen listened, he was a little interested, he only knew that before the current pattern of the world, the fog of the past shrouded this piece of the world, and the fog cut off the communication of various parts of the world.

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

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

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

"Okay, I'd like to see, but I wonder if I, a non-half-moon islander, will be allowed to participate in it?" Lou Jinchen asked.

If it was him, he could naturally sneak into the form and watch closely, but now that he was invited by someone else, he also asked.

"We are here on Zhushan Island, and we are still qualified to invite friends to participate, and, in your capacity as Engong, as long as you say your name, I think no one in this Half Moon Islands will refuse you!" Zhulin said.

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

He stood at the top of the hill and looked out at the vast sea in all directions.

The sea breeze blew his robe, his black hair was coiled up, and his blue-black sword was stuck between his hair like hairpins.

If his age is placed among mortals, it is not small, but it is not big among monks, and at this time he looks like he is in his thirties, and his body has long been devoid of youth.

Some only have the kind of mystery and ethereal that the Tao rhyme contains.

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

I want to see through the fog again, but I will find that the fog is no longer fog, but light and shadow, Lou Jinchen stood there, but formed a series of lights and shadows, those lights and shadows are the appearance of people, and they all looked towards her.

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

There was a little more awe in her heart.

Of course, Lou Jinchen knew that others were looking at him, Zhu Lin looked at him, and the natural reaction of his body thoughts made her feel that Lou Jinchen was mysterious, if she wanted to make a move on Lou Jinchen, I am afraid that even Lou Jinchen's true body would not be sure.

The light and shadow of that light will turn into a substance in her eyes, and if she has malicious intentions, his Dharma thoughts will be like a fire that has been stirred up, and all evil thoughts will be burned.

She quickly straightened her posture and determined that Lou Jinchen was the strongest person in the world.

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

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

The island is large, the center of the archipelago, and is blocked by other islands, making it more livable.

In addition to Zhushan Island, there were many other people on the island, and Lou Jinchen asked them not to introduce themselves, so he just followed behind him and watched casually.

They didn't introduce him, so naturally no one paid attention to him, he was ordinary in the eyes of everyone, unless there were people of his same realm, they could pay attention to him.

He wandered through the crowd, but he had learned a little about the atmosphere of the islands.

There are a total of thirteen islands here, which can be regarded as an alliance, and it is naturally dominated by Junlai Island, but the atmosphere in the archipelago is quite good, and each island has its own spiritual objects, and if there is a need between them, they can be exchanged directly.

If you encounter pirates or something, everyone will resist together.

In a square, everyone reminisced with each other, or introduced each other to meet new friends, or said which family had a junior who grew up and brought over to recognize the senior.

Moreover, there are many marriages throughout the archipelago, so many people are relatives around the corner.

Zhulin recognized three relatives, an aunt, an aunt, and an uncle.

Finally, when the owner of Junlai Island came out, he made another statement, saying how he had difficulty picking up this statue, and then in the praise of everyone, he lifted the statue out.

It's just that he didn't say where he got it from.

The idol was carried by four men and draped with a red cloth.

Placed in the middle of the hall, he lifted the red skin.

What caught Lou Jinchen's eyes was a portrait, this portrait 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 exploration and reflection in his eyes.

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

Many people gathered around to take a look, and the owner of Junlai Island did not stop him, and let everyone see it.

He was sure that no one could get any useful information, and he didn't think that any of these people would be able to recognize the words.

Because of his background, he flipped through the ancient books at home, and he barely recognized more than ten words, and there were some uncertain guesses.

He suspected in his heart that this was the statue of the priest at that time, and the words on his body should be the words of the sacrifice to the secret spirits, engraved on the statue of the priest, so that it would not be lost.

Lou Jinchen didn't squeeze in, but his thoughts probed over, but now the people who surrounded him looked at the priest statue one by one, and it was natural that there would be Dharma thoughts attached to them.

Therefore, there is nothing abrupt when his Dharma thoughts fall on the priestly statue.

His thoughts wandered in a chaotic mess of Dharma thoughts.

He was able to feel that these thoughts were cold, hot, cool, warm, light as the wind, and fragrant like flowers.

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

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

But at this time, none of those who looked closely at the statue of the priest cared for it, nor did they care.

However, the owner of Junlai Island, who was standing on the side, noticed.

After all, he didn't need to look at the priest's statue anymore, and he was extremely familiar with the cultivation methods of the various families in the archipelago, and his own "Self-Cause Divine Method" was extremely sensitive to the nature of each dharma thought, so he noticed a faint ray of sunshine in it.

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

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

Because he had seen that couplet in Tianyan City before, he didn't know the words on it, but that couplet contained a rhyme, so he naturally understood the meaning.

So he corresponded those words to the current words, which is equivalent to knowing those words.

Later, he saw a line of words left on the dresser, which he also remembered in his heart.

There are also a few of these words that are recognized.

And in that priesthood was holding a jade tablet in his hand, and there were two words on it, one of which he did not recognize, but one of which he knew.

That word is the word 'Shou'.

What is 'longevity'?

"Longevity?" Lou Jinchen guessed in his heart.

At this time, the owner of Junlai Island suddenly spoke: "In this way, everyone is watching together, the Dharma and thoughts are intertwined, and you can't get a detailed feeling, why don't you look at them one by one?" ”

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

Lou Jinchen was standing beside Zhulin.

I only heard her ask in a low voice: "Engong, do you recognize the words on this?" ”

Lou Jinchen shook his head and said: "In the Misty Era, because of the fog, the transportation was inconvenient, and the writing and language between countries were difficult to understand, so the writing at that time was not unified, and there were different and varied. ”

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

"Engong, I heard that the ancient texts contain a strong Dharma nature, which is extremely mysterious, and some people even say that one can obtain a Dharma by understanding one word." Zhulin whispered.

For this respectful girl, Lou Jinchen will not hate it.

He didn't know much about the ancient characters of this world, and he didn't have time to study them, but when he reached his current realm, he would naturally have his own comprehension.

At the moment, he said: "Words are the expression of people's minds, and the minds are subtle, like the wind, like the sun, formless and uncertain, changing at any time, and the moment they become words, they are certain." ”

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

"It can also be said that the moment he writes the words, the meaning in his heart is determined and exists."

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

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

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

If you compare your mind to the Tao, then the words are what your mind looks like at a certain moment.

So, expand a little more, what about this whole world?

Is it the same with the phenomena of heaven and earth?
