126: The way forward
Volume 1 of The Taoist Night Fighting Sword: Visiting the Mountains and Rivers in Search of Wonderful Dharma Chapter 126: The main altar of the Wu Zang God Sect on the way forward was not very tall, and even looked a little dilapidated. When he entered, he saw that some of the bricks in the courtyard were mottled.
Time has shown sharp blades and art on these hard rocks.
However, the Wu Zang Divine Sect probably established this main altar very early, so it covers a very large area. It is very rare to have such a place in such a prosperous capital city.
He saw many people wearing five-color robes presiding over the pilgrims to offer incense, and some were explaining something to some people. He also saw many people queuing up to receive sheets folded into five-pointed stars.
The talisman paper should be an amulet.
In addition, there are still people planting vegetables. There is a large open space between the halls. In this open space, ridges of land are planted, on which some vegetables suitable for growing in this cold weather are planted.
Since he was walking outside and did not enter the temple to see, he did not know what was enshrined in the main altar of the Five Zang Divine Sect.
What is enshrined in Huo Ling Temple is a faceless statue of a god. The statue is holding a lamp, and the main thing enshrined is that lamp.
Lou Jinchen was taken to the back of the house. He saw Mo Zhenzhen and saw that she was fine. He felt relieved. Lou Jinchen was also arranged to live opposite them.
The woman named Shasha came to express her gratitude to Lou Jinchen. Lou Jinchen shook his hand and said: "It's just a matter of helping others, it's nothing. You can seize the opportunity by yourself, and it's your own decision."
This made the woman named Shasha even more grateful. She felt that this was the real martyr in the world.
She introduced herself to Lou Jinchen as a monk of Langya Mountain. Her real name was Sha Ying. She practiced the Ascension Way. She had been out for too long and now she wanted to leave and go back to Langya Mountain.
Lou Jinchen naturally had no objections. This place was a nightmare for Sha Ying.
In Lou Jinchen's opinion, if a monk of the Ascension Way has not reached the third realm for a day trip and does not practice a magic weapon, it is best not to leave the mountain. In Lou Jinchen's heart, although the Ascension Way monks enter the realm quickly, they can only
Only after you refine a protective weapon can you become truly powerful. Of course, it is best to refine a few more.
It's just that the Dao of Ascension is widely spread, and there are a lot of people practicing the Dao of Ascension in the world, but there are not many people who can use the ritual artifacts in their inheritance.
He asked about Mo Zhenzhen's situation again.
Her first child was Jia Shun's, and she didn't even know who her second child was. When she said this, she lowered her head and sobbed, feeling shy and shameless. Lou Jinchen comforted her.
She said, "Everything that happens to you is the fault of others. You should be stronger."
Lou Jinchen wanted to ask her what her plans were in the future, but because the time was not good now, he refrained from asking.
It is naturally difficult to save someone from the fire, but Lou Jinchen felt that as an elder, he had to take care of her.
After a while, Kong Sheng came over and said that the great elder wanted to see him.
Lou Jinchen got up and followed Kong Sheng to a house. There was a sign hanging on the house, and the sign said "Enter Zhen Guan".
The entrance to the truth is not small, with a reception area, bedrooms, kitchen, etc., everything is available. Then he was taken to a study room, where there was an old man wearing a dark red robe, sitting at his desk and writing something.
.
Next to him, there was a very gorgeous lamp, and in his eyes, the flame of the lamp actually looked like three flames burning and intertwined.
After Lou Jinchen came in, he raised his head and said, "Sit down for a while while I finish writing this paragraph."
So Lou Jinchen sat down on the chair next to him and looked around the room.
There is a table and several bookshelves in the room. The bookshelves are filled with books. Some of the books are bamboo slips, some are made of silver and copper, and most of them are paper books. Occasionally, they are also mixed with silk cloth.
There are two stacks of books on the old man's desk, including "The Theory of Five Elements of Qi", "The Nature of Fire", "The Way of Life and Defeat" and so on.
Kong Sheng brought a pot of tea and placed it next to Lou Jinchen. He poured a cup for Lou Jinchen, and then poured another cup for the old man. He did not retreat, but picked up a book next to the bookshelf to read.
Got up.
Lou Jinchen picked up the tea and smelled it. It was very fragrant. He closed his eyes and felt it. There was a refreshing feeling. After taking a sip, the hot tea entered the mouth. The tip of the tongue was slightly astringent, but the fragrance filled the mouth. It entered the throat.
After that, a cool feeling appeared, and after a while, a slightly cool feeling appeared on the tip of the tongue.
Even though Lou Jinchen doesn't understand tea, he knows that this is good tea.
Kong Sheng looked at Lou Jinchen secretly, but Lou Jinchen seemed unaware.
Just as Lou Jinchen was savoring it, an old man's voice sounded.
"This tea is Longxu tea, which is Xiao Sheng's treasure. Usually I want to drink some, but she won't give it to me," the old man said with a smile.
Lou Jinchen glanced at Kong Sheng and said, "It turns out this is Longxu tea, thank you Miss Kong Sheng."
"You don't look like a mountain man." The old man said with a smile.
"Oh, do I actually have such a nickname?" Lou Jinchen asked with a smile.
"Xiao Sheng, come and tell him what his name is!" the old man said.
"Shechem's righteous man, sword sharpener, head buyer, sword madman!" Kong Sheng said quickly.
Lou Jinchen didn't know why, but he felt that she was very excited when she said these nicknames.
"I think maybe the people in the capital have some misunderstandings about Lou. Xiaolou doesn't want to argue with others. He just wants to read books and listen to music, and occasionally appreciate sword skills. But if he does other things, he has no choice."
"Okay." The old man said with a smile: "Xiaolou, this name is good, this name is simple, you will live like this name now, you can live here for a while first."
"I heard your master Yan Chuan say that you want to come here to practice, but with your current ability, I can only discuss the Tao with you. I am afraid that I will not be your opponent even if I fight with you. But I can really transform you into a god."
I'm afraid the only one who can inspire is the Imperial Master. However, although you can browse through the various books in the Five Zang Palace, the really good books can only be found in Taixue, where there are many and beautiful books. Many of the books here are from
Copied from there."
"Thank you, Great Elder." Lou Jinchen said. His thanks came from the bottom of his heart. However, he also had questions in his heart. He asked, "I have a question. I don't know whether I should ask it or not?"
"There's nothing I can't ask you here, old man." The old man said with a smile, his attitude was very friendly.
"Can the Great Elder tell me what the relationship is between Master Yan and the Great Elder?" Lou Jinchen asked.
After hearing this, the great elder sighed and said: "It turns out that Yanchuan didn't even tell you this. Maybe in his eyes, it's a trivial matter and he doesn't want to tell others. However, for me and Xiao Sheng, it is
It’s something that will be remembered for a lifetime. Many years ago, Xiao Sheng’s parents were in danger, and I went to rescue them, but it was inconvenient to take Xiao Sheng with me, so in desperation, I entrusted her to Yanchuan, who was traveling with me for a while.”
"Yan Chuan and Xiao Sheng lived in a small town for nearly three months. Later, I invited him to come to the capital. I originally wanted him to stay in the capital to practice, but after a few days, he Years later, he said he wanted to go back to his hometown to build a temple for meditation, so I went to the Imperial Preceptor’s Office and applied for a document permitting him to build a temple."
Of course Lou Jinchen knew that with this document, all the temples and temples established were on the official list of Daqian, and their reputations were protected by the official name of Daqian. Although it may not be possible to protect them in time when there is real danger, at least it would be better. A layer of protective color.
After listening to the great elder's words, Lou Jinchen realized that the temple master not only helped the great elder by chance, but also helped him a lot.
"It turns out that the viewer has really been to the capital." Lou Jinchen said with a smile.
"Why, is this boring gourd Yanchuan still bragging to you?" the great elder asked with a smile.
"That's not true. Temple Master Yan said that all the great sects in the capital have their base here. He asked me not to provoke the direct descendants of those sects, let alone any noble ladies from aristocratic families. Temple Master Yan is really too worried." Lou Jin said. Chen said.
But the great elder laughed and said, "Yan Chuan is worried that you will suffer the same loss as him."
"Oh, has the temple master ever suffered a loss in this regard?" Lou Jinchen asked, "I wonder if the elder can tell me something."
"Yanchuan himself didn't say it, so I won't say it either. It's all old news, so let it remain silent." The great elder said.
Lou Jinchen felt that it might not be a pleasant thing, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"You can live here with peace of mind, read and practice by yourself. If you want to go out, if someone asks you about your identity, just say that you are a guest of the Five Zang God Sect. Recently, the Imperial College is recruiting lecturers. Let me see if I can Can I get you the status of a lecturer? If you can get this status, you can read all kinds of books in the library of Taixue." The great elder said.
Lou Jinchen was pondering. The elder looked at Lou Jinchen's expression and asked, "What, don't you want to go?"
"No, I have often heard that our Qianguo Taixue has the most complete collection of cultivation books on various disciplines, from ancient times to the present. However, these require the elder to ask for them, which makes Xiaolou really uneasy."
"I think you're not uneasy, but you're not angry. With your swordsmanship, there's nowhere else you can go but the Transformation God Dojo! You say you're a small building, but you can't contain your arrogance." The great elder commented: " Although you intend to suppress your sharp edge, the spirit in your temperament is difficult to control for a while. I think if you can be as light as the world and restrain these fierce thoughts, you can get a glimpse of the way to transform into a spirit."
Lou Jinchen's heart moved, and he suddenly realized something. He thought to himself: "The Qi refining path I cultivate is divided into three levels in the first level. I use false cultivation to open up the sea of Qi, move the Qi through hundreds of meridians to refine the whole body, and practice the method to become a gang. This is it. After practicing the method to achieve Gang, shouldn't I have to combine hardness and softness? Yes, even if the combination of hardness and softness can't transform me into a spirit, it will still be of great benefit to me, and this will be the direction of my next practice."
