In just an instant, Lou Jinchen woke up. He actually saw himself, and felt that all his strength was scattered outside. He also felt an indescribable sense of comfort, as if he was integrating with the world.

.

All kinds of hallucinations appear.

"When the air bug enters the sea of ​​consciousness, it's like flying up into the sky, and delusions abound!"

Lou Jinchen had already read the warning in the booklet and memorized it in his heart. He knew that the critical moment had come. If he could not control his thoughts at this time, the air bug would leave his body and disperse into the moonlight.

The qi bug at this time has another name, also known as false worm and false qi. Only after it is truly surrendered can it be called true qi.

He converged his consciousness, gathered it between his eyebrows, and visualized the moon shining in his mind between his eyebrows.

The moonlight shines in through the small window and shines on the window sill, forming a white patch.

The insects chirping and squeaking outside the wall...

In the sea of ​​consciousness between Lou Jinchen's eyebrows, there are waves surging, but there seems to be an invisible force pressing down on the boundless wind and waves. This wind and wave seems to overturn this invisible world, and it seems that there is something beneath the wind and waves.

The invisible devil wants to break free from the shackles of nothingness and rush into the world.

Lou Jinchen felt an extremely oppressive feeling in his heart, and was extremely painful and uncomfortable. The inexplicable restlessness came from nowhere, as if it was drilling out from the water, or it seemed to turn into a strong wind, blowing boundless waves and rolling in.

whole body.

The fear born of loneliness and darkness penetrates every corner like a cold wind.

Lou Jinchen, who was standing by the window, was trembling, his eyelids were beating, and he seemed to wake up at any moment.

There was something spying on me outside the window, a pair of blood-colored eyes, lying outside the window looking at me. Those were the eyes of the viewer. When this thought came into my mind, it fermented uncontrollably. That was the viewer. The viewer is not a human being.

It's a demon.

There was blood at the corner of his mouth, because he had just eaten a heart, and his cruel smile was terrifying.

Lou Jinchen's eyelids twitched wildly, and the pores on his neck stood out one by one.

He suppressed his brows and thought, only clinging to a little clarity and a ray of consciousness, just like holding the reins tightly to prevent the crazy horse from throwing him off and the restless thoughts from leaving his body.

After an unknown amount of time, the eyes on the window sill disappeared, and I heard another footsteps. A man walked through the door carrying a lamp, and then opened the door next door with a creak. Then, he heard

The voice of a child.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this?...Master, I, why can't I move? Master,...you...ah,!"

"Master, don't bite me, Master, don't eat me..."

Horrified and pitiful screams came from the room next door, and the smell of blood filled the air, mixed with the smell of feces and urine. Finally, the child's voice could no longer be heard, and in the silent darkness, there were only the sounds of chewing and swallowing.

, very much like a beast gnawing.

Lou Jinchen's body was shaking crazily, and his eyelids were twitching, as if he was about to open them, but after a while, they calmed down again.

Boom, boom, boom!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

In the silent night, it was exceptionally clear, followed by a suppressed voice.

"Lou Jinchen, let's run away quickly. The master of the temple is a demon. Senior brother has been eaten by the temple master. Let's run away quickly! I'll run away first if you are here or not!" After the voice fell, there were footsteps for a while.

Moving away quickly, the footsteps actually ran all the way out of the Taoist temple.

However, not long after, his screams were heard again. The screams were full of terror, as if he had encountered something terrible.

Not long after, there were footsteps approaching again, and then there was a knock on the door, and there was a faint light coming through. It was the exquisitely carved oil lamp in the viewer's room.

"Lou Jinchen, open the door, I have something to say to you. Lou Jinchen..."

The constant knocking on the door and shouting were eerie.

Lou Jinchen's will, which he had honed by practicing swordplay since childhood, allowed him to hold on tightly. Even though that strand of will was as thin as a spider's thread, it did not break. He still did not get up or open his eyes.

The knocking on the door slowly became weaker, the shouts gradually disappeared, the light in the crack of the door disappeared at some point, the moonlight outside the window shone in again, everything was so quiet, the squeaking insects

The sound is still there.

All the terror and illusions disappeared.

And Lou Jinchen could clearly see that the consciousness floating outside was like thousands of birds returning to their nests, returning to the center of his eyebrows, like clouds and mist, and like white insects stretching their bodies there, growing continuously.

He understood that the hallucinations and delusions just now were all a trace of doubt and uneasiness in his heart about the temple owner. This suspicion came from the ghost stories he had read before. In those stories, the temple owners of Taoist temples in the mountains were all dressed up as monsters.

As soon as the thought occurred, the mass of Qi immediately moved, moving along the meridians towards the sea of ​​Qi, walking along the river like a dragon, carrying boundless water Qi into the sea.

There was peace in my heart, but my thoughts of Qi carried the boundless wind and rain into the Qi Sea.

Feeling the true energy and magic in the sea of ​​qi, it's like countless thoughts intertwined together.

"Thoughts are like a great tide, returning to the sea; Dharma arises from the heart, sensing yin and yang."

Lou Jinchen naturally understood such a sentence in the book, and understood clearly in his heart. He stretched out his hand and pulled at the edge of the moonlight. A ray of moonlight moved with his hand, lingering on his fingertips.

"I have entered the beginning of Qi refining and opened up the Qi sea." When Lou Jinchen lay on the bed again, he felt happy and excited.

The sky was slightly bright, and Lou Jinchen had woken up. He was successful in refining qi, and seemed to be able to sense the setting of the moon and the rising of the sun, as well as the changes in the surrounding temperature.

When the east turned white, he had already sensed the strong energy of the sun's essence and fire between heaven and earth.

After he got up, he first went to pick up a load of spring water and returned, cleaned the water tank and poured it into it. Then he faced the east and sensed the sun's energy.

Sun Essence, also known as Yang Essence, can be absorbed into the body and strengthen the essence. If you take a ray of it, the whole person will be warm and cozy throughout the day.

When the two boys got up and saw Lou Jinchen sucking the yang essence, they could not see that there was a trace of fire entering Lou Jinchen's mouth when he swallowed.

It's just that Lou Jinchen is showing off, but Lou Jinchen doesn't care about this. He only concentrates on practicing. He didn't get the door before. Now that he has entered the door, he should work hard and make progress.

In this way, several days passed, and the owner of the temple still did not return.

I ate with the two boys every day and did some chores in the temple together, and I became very familiar with them.

The man who opened the gate for him that day was called Deng Ding, the son of a head catcher in the nearby Swimming City. The other fat Taoist boy, named Shang Gui'an, was the child of a wealthy businessman in the Swimming City. But he

However, his mother had passed away, and his father had remarried and was favored, so he suggested that the wealthy businessman send him here to learn some skills.

Eat the yang essence during the day and collect the yin essence at night.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

The three of them lived a secluded life in this Taoist temple near the mountain. Lou Jinchen's heart calmed down, as if all his thoughts were merged into the sea of ​​qi and transformed into a great tide of true qi.

Finally, one evening, the viewer came back, but he seemed to have something on his mind.

Two boys and Lou Jinchen came to pay their respects. The moment the meditative viewer saw Lou Jinchen, his eyes lit up. He immediately asked Lou Jinchen to stay and asked: "Lou Jinchen, you open up the sea of ​​​​qi,

Have you started practicing Qi refining?"

"Yes, Master." Lou Jinchen said with a smile.

"Very good, you are indeed different from ordinary people. There is one thing in this temple that I would like to invite you to visit." The leader of Huoling Temple said with a smile.

Of course, Lou Jinchen would not feel that he was really great after being praised by him, and the attitude of the Huo Ling Guanzhu towards Lou Jinchen was completely different from that of the two boys, and it felt a bit like hiring someone.

"I wonder what the temple owner is talking about?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"The person who made the medicine for Ben Guan was Granny Du from Dujiazhuang. It took about twenty days. Although Ben Guan was not the main refiner, the medicinal materials were collected by the master of Ben Guan with great difficulty, so Ben Guan

I have to be there to help her every step of the way, but at noon today, someone sent a message to Granny Du."

"Granny Du has a grandson named Du Desheng. After failing to study Confucianism and Legalism, he started to work as a ghost escort last year. It has always been very smooth. However, recently, Matoupo was occupied by a group of ghosts and established a ghost market. When Du Desheng passed by here, he was offended.

He captured the city owner among them and was detained there. The bodyguard who was traveling with him escaped and came back to report the news to Granny Du."

When Lou Jinchen heard what he said, he already understood what was going on and immediately said: "Does the temple master want his disciples to rescue people?"

"Exactly." A flash of fire appeared in the eyes of the viewer. He looked at the faint light on Lou Jinchen's body, which was not like a new Qi practitioner at all.

"Disciple, I'm just a beginner, how can I be able to rescue people from the underworld?"

"Yin ghosts and the like are like weeds in the gutter. If you cut them, they will grow again. If you don't take care of them, they will grow branches and leaves. They will become evil and clog a place. However, it is not difficult to clean them up for a while. You will be successful in refining your Qi. The precious light will protect you."

My body cannot be invaded by gods and ghosts. If I enter the market with my lantern, I will be polite first and then fight. If they are willing to let me go, then everything will be fine. If not, I will burn down the dark market and clear away the evil obstacles!" said the master of the temple in a relaxed manner.

.

Lou Jinchen thought deeply, he did not agree rashly, and he actually had no idea about those evil ghosts. The master of the temple made it easy, but this was just what he said.

"Of course, this temple will not let you go in vain. More than ten years ago, I was fortunate enough to hear a sword art. If you agree to go, I will tell you about it. How about it?" the temple owner said.

From the back, it was obvious that he was very serious.

Lou Jinchen understood that the meaning of the viewer was very clear.

In this world where teachers are like fathers, he is the registered disciple of the master of the temple, and it is already a great respect for the master of the temple to speak to him like this.

"If something cannot be done!" Before Lou Jinchen finished speaking, the conservator had already said: "If something cannot be done, you can go home."

"Okay!" Lou Jinchen replied affirmatively: "When will I set off."

"Without further ado, Granny Du is very worried about her only grandson. Her grandson has not returned home and is restless. If something goes wrong in refining the medicine because of this, that is not what we want to see."

The temple owner's words made Lou Jinchen feel his urgency. He was afraid that Granny Du would have problems refining the medicine because of this. If something went wrong, the temple owner would be furious.

"Then I'll bring some water and two rice balls. Temple Master, please tell me the place and I'll set off right away." After Lou Jinchen finished speaking, the Temple Master naturally told people the location of the Yin City and detailed it.

He told me how to enter it.

"Since you have agreed to go, the master of this temple will tell you the sword technique. Listen carefully: 'Spring is in the wild, summer is in the eyes, autumn is in the meridians, and in winter the sword is hidden in my heart, waiting for the time to move.

The sword rises from the sea of ​​​​the heart, slays all the ghosts and gods, and sees the green mountains.' This sword technique was said more than ten years ago when I heard a master of swordsmanship passing by Jiangzhou City to teach people the Dharma. I see you as if I love you.

I will give the sword to you as a gift. If you don't get anything, there is no need to ask about this view, as this view also doesn't know its meaning."

Lou Jinchen was very happy after hearing this, because as soon as he heard the sword technique, he had some imagination in his mind, and he was naturally happy.

He turned around and left, leaving simply, just like the viewer gave this sword art, he gave it as he said, and did not wait until the thing was done, but gave it first. Lou Jinchen also simply brought water.

He and two rice balls, picked up a lantern prepared for him by the temple owner and left.

The lantern in hand has a glass cover to prevent wind.
