223 Chapter 222: Disappear(1/2)
Qiu Chan Academy is the largest training place in Dongzhou. Practitioners basically know where it is, but if you want to ask where it is specifically, most people who know Qiu Chan Academy don't know.
Now Lou Jinchen knows.
Qiu Chan Academy is located in a mountain.
That mountain is called Cicada Mountain.
When entering the mountain, Lou Jinchen seemed to hear the faint chirping of cicadas.
Lou Jinchen understood that this was the sound brought by the "secret spirit" in the mountain.
"Isn't the academy a place for quiet practice? With the cicadas chirping so noisily, can the disciples inside be able to calm down and practice?"
Lou Jinchen got off the horse and led the horse on the road into the mountain. The mountains on both sides of the road were covered with yellow leaves, and the branches had bare branches exposed.
"When you first enter school, you can't hear the cicadas. Only when you enter samadhi can you feel and hear them. The calmer your mind is, the louder the cicadas will be."
Yu Wanqing's words instantly reminded Lou Jinchen that the chirping of cicadas he heard as soon as he arrived did not mean that those who were new to spiritual practice could hear it. No matter when, he himself would always have a piece of peace in his mind.
place.
"Finally, you can enter samadhi amidst the chirping of cicadas and forget about the chirping of cicadas?" Lou Jinchen said.
"Yes, Loufu Ling." Yu Wanqing said.
"The cicadas chirp and the mind becomes calmer. This is a kind of training and a state of mind. Qiucichan Mountain is indeed good." Lou Jinchen said.
"Lou Fu is so insightful!" Although Yu Wanqing and Lou Jinchen walked together, their words were always polite. Lou Jinchen didn't even know whether she was truly complimenting her from the bottom of her heart or just being polite.
"What will happen if I can't regain concentration amidst the sound of cicadas?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"There will be hallucinations, and you will see countless cicadas flying in front of your eyes. Some people will feel that they are being sucked by cicadas. They will think that they are a tree. If they don't get better, they will be sent out of the academy.
." Yu Wanqing said.
Lou Jinchen stopped asking questions. He was not a talkative person, but after Yu Wanqing was silent for a while, he said, "I wonder what Lou Fu ordered to the academy?"
Along the way, she also asked Lou Jinchen twice what he planned to do, but Lou Jinchen always said that he would not know until later.
And now that Qiu Chan Academy was approaching, she couldn't help but ask again.
"I haven't thought of a way yet!" Lou Jinchen said.
His understanding of Qiu Chan Academy is actually very limited, and he himself is not very good at analysis and strategy. Most of the time, he acts based on the moral principles in his heart, rather than the pros and cons.
As for the method, he himself has never cared about it, but he has always felt in his heart that if he can be reasonable, he must be reasonable.
If the truth cannot be justified, that means the truth is not on one's side.
If the truth has been explained but the other party does not follow the truth, then say something else.
However, what we are facing now is Qiu Chan Academy, which is no ordinary local sect.
The autumn clouds in the mountains seemed to be an invisible curtain, which was slowly opened as a few people approached, and the originally quiet scenery of distant mountains slowly became vivid in the eyes.
The haze dispersed, and Lou Jinchen saw houses one after another nestled in the mountains and forests.
A stone tablet stood by the road, with a few words engraved on it - Qiu Chan Academy.
Lou Jinchen tried to listen to the sounds in the academy, but found that he could not hear them at all, only the chirping of cicadas.
All the movements in the academy were buried in the chirping of the cicadas.
Lou Jinchen was certain that even if he passed over this mountain, he could not see the houses in the forest below at all.
Because these houses will be covered up by the sound of these cicadas.
"Qiu Cicada Academy is indeed very mysterious." Lou Jinchen sighed, because many things here will be hidden in the sound of cicadas.
The three of them arrived in front of a densely packed house. However, Lou Jinchen looked around and found that the houses were all around him. A stranger here would not be able to distinguish the main part of Qiu Chan Academy.
The stacks of houses in the mountains and forests are quiet and mysterious.
There are birds circling among them and white cranes flying.
"What should we do?" the maid asked her young lady, and also asked Lou Jinchen.
Lou Jinchen said: "Who is the mountain chief of your academy?"
"The mountain chief has not shown up for many years. Now there are three great edicts in charge of affairs in the palace." Yu Wanqing said.
"Then what should I do if I want to meet people in the academy?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"Just come to visit directly." Yu Wanqing said.
"So, do you know where Chen Jin is now?" Lou Jinchen asked.
"I don't know." Yu Wanqing shook her head. She was a little panicked. She felt that Lou Jinchen's asking these questions meant that he had no solution at all.
"I heard you say before that Brother Chen is already a member of the ancient writing exploration club of Qiu Chan Academy. Let's go there and ask." Lou Jinchen asked again.
"I also went to inquire about Loufu Ling. They said that Senior Brother Chen has not been there for many days." Yu Wanqing said.
"In that case, let's visit normally!" Lou Jinchen took out a greeting card from his treasure bag.
At this time, it was probably lecture time, so no one was walking around.
"I wonder where this greeting card was delivered?" Lou Jinchen asked.
Yu Wanqing felt that Lou Jinchen could not get any answers.
Sure enough, after handing in the greeting card, he met someone, and he was respected. After all, Lou Jinchen was not an unknown person, and he was now the governor of a state in the Qian Kingdom.
But it was limited to this. When Lou Jinchen asked about Chen Jin, the receptionist actually said that Chen Jin had left and signed a normal leaving document. He also showed it to Lou Jinchen. Lou Jinchen looked at the handwriting.
He didn't know if it was signed by Chen Jin.
But Lou Jinchen doesn't believe it, it's just that it's useless not to believe it.
Lou Jinchen also proposed to visit the Great Reverend, but the other party said that if he wanted to visit, he would have to wait until the Great Reverend was free.
During this period of time, Qiu Chan Academy seemed to have covered up all traces of Chen Jin's disappearance.
Lou Jinchen was walking in the academy in the Cicada Mountain. He saw many students coming out of the house, in small groups, talking and laughing.
Or you may encounter Lecturer and a few students, giving lectures in a secluded place in the mountains and forests.
Lou Jinchen looked at everything, it was so peaceful and normal, it was really a good place to cultivate one's mind and nature.
Lou Jinchen followed Yu Wanqing to Chen Jin's residence, but because Chen Jin had already left the academy, and it was the kind of complete departure, it was not a short study tour.
So his residence was also cleaned, and all personal belongings were gone.
When Yu Wanqing saw this scene, she was very shocked. She regretted going to Jiangzhou to deliver the message. She felt that if she were still in the academy, she should be able to see this scene. After seeing this, she might be able to know more.
She looked around for acquaintances to inquire, but no one knew much more than she did, and they didn't even know that Chen Jin had left the academy.
Some of them said: "Senior Brother Chen left without telling you. Maybe it means that Senior Brother Chen doesn't like you and is avoiding you."
Yu Wanqing was at a loss. She was sure that Senior Brother Chen had told her that in case she disappeared, he would send the letter to Huoling Temple.
I did it myself, but what about Senior Brother Chen?
"Perhaps, Senior Brother Chen has gone home? If you really want to see him, you might as well go to his home and have a look." A friend of Yu Wanqing said to her.
There are even men who like Yu Wanqing and want to take the opportunity to pursue Yu Wanqing.
Lou Jinchen saw all this in his eyes.
"Let's go to Chen Jin's home and have a look. Maybe he has really gone back!" Lou Jinchen suddenly said.
This is what he said on the third day after entering Qiu Chan Academy.
Yu Wanqing was very disappointed because she found that Lou Jinchen rushed to the academy in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do.
She was very angry, both with Lou Jinchen and with herself, but she was not a girl who spoke harshly, so she did not say anything and just led the maid out of Qiu Chan Academy.
Lou Jinchen followed her and also left the academy. They headed in the same direction.
Chen Jin's home and hers are in a nearby city called Shuxiang City.
After Yu Wanqing found Chen Jin's home, she asked Chen Jin's parents, but she got an answer. Chen Jin actually wrote a letter to his family, saying that he was traveling.
This result made Yu Wanqing feel as if she was the only one in the world to have a problem.
She couldn't help but begin to doubt herself, and even asked Lou Jinchen, who had not spoken a word all the way, "Do you believe what I said?"
"I believe it!" Lou Jinchen's somewhat indifferent reply made Yu Wanqing feel quite comfortable. She didn't even notice that Lou Jinchen's temperament was different from the first time she met him.
Yu Wanqing was about to return to her home, and she asked Lou Jinchen what his plans were in the future.
"Go back. Don't think about Brother Chen anymore. Have a good sleep at home. Maybe Brother Chen will come back." Lou Jinchen said.
Yu Wanqing was very disappointed. She was very disappointed with Lou Jinchen's performance and couldn't help but said: "Senior Brother Chen has misjudged you!"
Lou Jinchen smiled, did not answer, but turned around and left, got on the black horse, and left the city like a lonely swordsman.
After Yu Wanqing returned home, her parents were fine, but she kept thinking about Senior Brother Chen.
I wanted to ask my parents to ask about Senior Brother Chen, but my parents said, Chen Jin is traveling, how can I ask? Although you and Chen Jin grew up together, even if our family is interested, if Chen Jin has no interest in you,
You can't force it either.
She was in a bad mood. Gradually, she felt that she was sick. As a monk, it was difficult to get sick, but she started to get sick, and she couldn't afford it anymore.
