446: Sword Garden
Lou Jinchen didn't look back, and Ji Bingyan was there watching Lou Jinchen disappear at the city gate. She knew that Lou Jinchen would enjoy the scenery along the road when he walked forward, but he would not be nostalgic, or maybe he would.
She didn't know, but she knew that this kind of person who went all the way forward had little time to look backwards, and when he looked back, it was often to accumulate strength and rush forward.
"The other side?"
Ji Bingyan echoed these two words in her mind, and she felt that this might be the most primitive dream in his heart. The other side is not only immortality, but there are many ways to say immortality.
One is a longer life than ordinary people, a thousand years can also be said to be immortal, ten thousand years are also, and longevity with the sky is even more immortal, but she knows that in some people's hearts, the kind of heaven collapse I don't collapse, heaven death I don't die is the real immortality.
And this is what some people call the other side.
She didn't know where Lou Jinchen heard this word, because this word has always only been the top existence there, and it is only a matter that people in this circle will consider.
She turned to leave, she didn't have a guide to come here, after leaving, it was difficult to find this place again, even if she didn't leave now, the city with a tiger's head carved was slowly moving away from her golden ship.
This delusion, you really know that it exists, you are in it, but this boundless darkness makes you feel that in fact, nothing here exists.
Lou Jinchen actually turned around, and he saw a little golden light, which was getting smaller and smaller in the distant darkness. But the people on the outside clearly can't see the people inside.
He looked at it for a moment, then turned back and walked down the avenue.
He saw countless shops on both sides of the avenue, restaurants, brothels, as well as some clothing shops, ironware shops, magic treasure pavilions, etc., and the people here were more lively and real than the Xuantian City that Lou Jinchen had seen.
In Xuantian City, everything is so orderly, like a world in a dream, everyone is safe and stable, and here is a lot more natural atmosphere, more life.
The avenue under your feet is not very wide, and it is the width of two parallel carriages, so the shops on this side of the road can hear the conversation on the other side of the shops, which is quite life-like.
And the temperament of the people on the street, in his perception, every one is full of sword intent.
He walked all the way to the end of the avenue, where a large mountain could already be faintly seen. Is there a mountain in the center of a city?
When he walked to the bottom of the mountain, he saw that there was a circle of fences under the mountain, which had been broken in some places, and in the middle of the road, there was a huge archway, on which there were several big iron-like characters - Xifu Sword Garden.
"How do you feel that Xifu Sword Garden is like a hunting ground that has been fenced?" Lou Jinchen thought in his heart.
Of course, he didn't dare to say anything, and walked in directly, but the token in his sleeve turned into a white light and rushed out, and the moment he rushed out, he turned into a white tiger and jumped into the mountains, as if he had completed the task.
And the scene in front of Lou Jinchen was rapidly shattering and reorganizing, everything seemed to be an illusion, and a lobby appeared in his eyes.
There is a plaque hanging above the lobby - White Tiger Hall.
There was a table in the hall, and there was a person on the table, this man was dressed in a white tiger striped robe, and above his face, he had a stiff beard, and he sat there, and the whole person looked like a white tiger spirit with hanging eyes.
Lou Jinchen didn't resist just now, and even wondered if he resisted, then he wouldn't be able to enter here. "What's your name?"
"Lou Jinchen!"
"Where are you from?" The man looked at Lou Jinchen and asked.
At this moment, Lou Jinchen felt as if he was being stared at by a white tiger, as if he felt a giant tiger watching him in the void.
His whole body stiffened, and he could only answer mechanically: "I'm from the Qinghe Realm." "Where did you get your voucher from?" The man asked again.
"Picked it up." Lou Jinchen replied.
"What are you doing here?" The man asked again. "See the deeper swordsmanship." Lou Jinchen replied.
"What about after seeing the more advanced swordsmanship?" The man asked again. "Get rid of the arrangement of fate!" Lou Jinchen said.
"Who do you think arranged your fate?" The man asked.
"I think it's ······" Just as Lou Jinchen was about to answer, the threatening gaze that stared at him disappeared.
Lou Jinchen's answer stopped instantly, and his gaze naturally fell on the white tiger stripes engraved on the plaque in the middle of the White Tiger Hall.
He couldn't help but think in his heart, what kind of existence was this white tiger, it was impossible for people to lie, and of course he didn't want to lie.
The person sitting under the plaque glanced at the sky, and then said, "You really want to enter the Xifu Sword Garden?"
"Sure." Lou Jinchen said.
"Okay, this is your gardener's card, you can go to the Hidden Sword Building to learn any swordsmanship with this card, but you also have to complete your task, this is an exchange after entering the school." The man said.
A red sword-shaped token was thrown over, like a streamer, and Lou Jinchen shook his sleeves and swept the streamer into it.
The other party only glanced at his sleeve, but did not speak, as if everything was insightful.
Lou Jinchen was both a little surprised and not surprised that admission was so simple, he felt that a kendo hall should not be so complicated, but should be so simple.
In his view, the more complex and the more procedures there are, the easier it is to go against the original intention.
"I wonder if you can tell me your name and what your position is in the Sword Garden?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"My name is Tiger Sitting Mountain, and I serve as an inspector inside and outside the Sword Garden, you can call me Inspector Tiger." The man named Tiger Sitting on the Mountain Monster stared at Lou Jinchen and said.
"There's something unclear below, and I want to ask Inspector Tiger." Lou Jinchen said.
Hu sat on the mountain and was not as serious as he was with the other newly enrolled disciples, and said, "You say. ”
"I just felt the gaze in the dark, who did that kind of deterrence come from?" Lou Jinchen asked. "In this Xifu Sword Garden, everything belongs to the Tiger Monarch." Tiger sat on the mountain and said.
"Tiger Monarch?" Lou Jinchen repeated this sentence.
The other party asked rhetorically, "Is there anything else?" ”
"No, thank you Inspector Tiger." After Lou Jinchen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the White Tiger Hall.
Lou Jinchen walked out of the White Tiger Hall and found himself on the edge of a cave, and the cave was so dark that even if he wanted to see inside, he needed to look down.
There were tall trees all around, and for a moment, he didn't know where to go.
At this time, an egret flew down from the top of the tree, and the moment it landed, it turned into a girl in white. The girl's long-sleeved long skirt has a pair of long sleeves like wings.
"I heard that the newcomer has entered the Sword Garden, let me take you to familiarize yourself with the environment of the Sword Garden." The girl in white said. "Oh, I'm tired, I don't know the name of the fairy!" Lou Jinchen said.
"My name is Yu Ruyun." After she finished speaking, she looked at Lou Jinchen with a pair of red eyes, as if she was waiting for Lou Jinchen to praise her name.
"It turned out to be a fairy like a cloud, and I was tired." Lou Jinchen said.
"Don't you think my name sounds good?" The girl said.
"Of course it's good, the people are beautiful, and the name is even more beautiful." Lou Jinchen said complimentingly.
"Hee-hee, a lot of people say that." Yu Ruyun said with a smile.
"I'll take you to know one of our sword gardens, this stone cave is the White Tiger Hall, it's best not to come here in the future." The girl said.
"Why?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"Because when you come here, you're all people who want to be censored." The girl said seriously.
"Go here, there is a tree hole here, it is a sword fighting field, you sword learners like to do it when you don't agree with each other, but be careful, you must fight in the sword fighting field, otherwise there will be a big disaster." The girl said solemnly.
"What catastrophe?" Lou Jinchen asked suspiciously, he believed that the people who came here to learn swords were not easy people.
"It's going to be eaten." The girl glanced at Lou Jinchen and said warningly. "Is it okay to have only this tree hole?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"No, there are many tree holes in the mountains, and of course not all tree holes are, but you have to remember that the sword fighting arena will only be in tree holes." The girl dutifully introduced.
She looked at some tree holes on the side of the road, stared inside, and faintly saw sword light jumping and flickering in the tree holes
"Here, there is a hall of merit."
Lou Jinchen looked in the direction of her finger and saw that there was a stone cave there, the stone cave looked deep, and the words "Hall of Merit" were scribbled next to it.
"This is where you people are most concerned about hiding your swords." Lou Jinchen followed the direction of her finger, and then saw a huge ant nest.
"Here?" Lou Jinchen asked with some disbelief, this ant nest is black, how tall are the two of them, layer by layer, it looks extremely hard, the key is that he saw black ants with small hands in and out of this ant nest.
"There is one thing I want to warn you, that is, you swordsmen in this mountain cannot harm any living creatures other than humans, because they all belong to the Tiger King, including these nasty black ants." The girl said.
"Oh, what if it hurts?" Lou Jinchen asked again. "It's going to be eaten." The girl said angrily.
"Eaten by whom?" Lou Jinchen asked again.
"Of course it is by the Tiger King, this whole mountain is the hunting ground of the Tiger King, although the Tiger King has been abstaining from desire for 10,000 years, but if someone violates his rules, he will still open the ring." The girl said.
"Okay, thank you for the reminder." Lou Jinchen said.
"Well, these black ants have a strong sense of territory, and if they find you, they will attack you, so you have to be careful." The girl said: "Okay, you sword learners want to care about the most have also been introduced, and the others want to understand and then ask me, just call my name, I have been in the treetops of this mountain forest." ”
After speaking, the girl turned into an egret and flew up, hovered up in the sunlight, and landed on the top of a big tree, and then Lou Jinchen found that there were many egrets on the top of the big tree, and he couldn't tell which one he was talking to just now.
At this moment, he saw that in the shadow of the mountain tree, a person walked out quickly, and in two or three steps, the whole person went from virtual to real.
He also stopped in front of this ant nest and looked at Lou Jinchen, just as Lou Jinchen also looked at him, he frowned, and said: Your Excellency is looking at me like this, don't you want to fight with me. ”
At this time, where did Lou Jinchen have the interest of fighting swords, he just had to go to this ant nest to see the swordsmanship.
"Your Excellency misunderstood, I have just arrived, and I have been thinking about how to enter this hidden sword ant nest." Lou Jinchen said.
The aggressive look in the other party's eyes immediately retracted a lot, and said: "Your Excellency only needs to restrain your own breath and enter it with the big and small Ruyi techniques, you don't need to cast too many other spells, if you cast too many other spells, it will be detected by the queen ant." ”
"Oh, thank you for your advice, I don't know your honorable name when I go downstairs." Lou Jinchen asked.
"My name is Yin Suiying, I am from the ghost city, and I will go in first when I have time to fight swords in the future." After the other party finished speaking, the whole person became dark, and quickly shrunk, turned into a smear of gray light, and threw himself into the entrance of the ant nest, Lou Jinchen saw a small person walking towards it step by step.
Lou Jinchen didn't hesitate, he restrained the breath on his body, and then his body quickly shrunk, flying towards the entrance of the ant nest.
As soon as he entered the nest, he felt a power of imprisonation.
The power of this kind of imprisonment is not very strong, he believes that as long as he uses his sword, he can break this imprisonment, but here is the mysterious Tiger Monarch suppression, who would dare?
What he saw in his eyes was layer by layer, and it was dark inside, and he said that he could not cast spells casually, he could only see with his own eyesight.
There was a passage to walk, and he followed it, and after not going far, he saw a small room-like existence, and there was a little glimmer in it.
He headed inside, only to find a black ant lying in the faint light.
He avoided it slightly, then saw that the glimmer was a green metal box, which he opened carefully, and saw that there was a book inside.
The book was not a real book, but the shape of an open book, with words engraved on it, that is, two sides.
He held it up and it read, "Pure Sword!" This sword technique can cut off one's karma, so that one will no longer be troubled and will not be entangled by karma. ”
With just this introduction, Lou Jinchen has an eye-opening feeling.
I immediately read it carefully, read it carefully, and found that if I want to cultivate this sword technique, I need to cultivate a lot of theoretical knowledge of Buddhism, and I need to reach a state of enlightenment, so that I can start to practice.
After reading it, he didn't regret it, but had a sense of gain. Put the book back in the box and leave carefully.
When he came to the ant room next door, he found that it was pitch black, and he didn't quite understand whether there was any difference, so he didn't go in, but looked for the bright ant room and went in.
The light between the ants was stuck in a crack, there were no black ants in it, he still carefully took it out, but inside was a copper foil paper book, he picked it up and looked at it from the beginning.
"Six Desires Secret Demon Sword Technique! This swordsmanship uses human desires to turn secret demons into swords, killing people invisibly, and can cut off their own desires! ”
Some people died, but not completely......
