4: Spring is in the wild

The wind on the hillside flows into the front of the Taoist temple, causing a few flowers and plants to sway.

After the viewer finished speaking, he took out a pony from a gray bag hanging on his waist. It looked like a pony sewn from horsehide. The viewer threw the pony into the air and blew out a wisp of red silk.

A breath like that penetrated into the pony's body, and a cloud of red light and smoke suddenly appeared on the pony's body. A neighing sound was heard in the red light, and a black galloping horse jumped out, but its eyes seemed to be burning with flames, which made people feel uncomfortable.

One look at it and you'll know it's an extraordinary horse.

Lou Jinchen looked at this spell with great envy, thinking that if he had this thing, he wouldn't need two legs to go anywhere.

He hung the lantern on the side of the saddle, got on the horse, and found that there was a place to hang a sword on the saddle, so he hung the sword on it, a kettle and rice balls in a bag, got on the horse, and lifted the reins.

, clamping his legs, the horse bolted out.

In the Taoist temple, the two boys looked at Lou Jinchen who was riding away. They felt that Lou Jinchen was so full of energy at this moment, which surprised them!

For more than ten days, Lou Jinchen was like them, working, eating, practicing, and occasionally saying some strange things. In their eyes, he was a person who liked to say strange things and big words, but at this moment, Lou Jinchen was different from their hearts.

The look is different.

The master of the temple did not care about the thoughts of the two little Taoist boys. He was now focused on refining the medicine and just hoped that everything would go smoothly. He asked the two boys to close the door and then returned to Dujiazhuang to take care of his medicine.

Lou Jinchen hardly had to control this night-like horse by himself. It seemed to know the road and was not afraid of stepping into pits.

Lou Jinchen, who was sitting on the horse, was pondering in his mind what the master said: "Spring is in the wild, summer is in the eyes, autumn is in the meridians, in winter the sword is hidden in my heart, and it will be moved when the time comes. The sword rises from the sea of ​​my heart.

Kill all the ghosts and gods and see the green mountains."

He read this passage, including the sentence "The winter sword is hidden in my heart", and he could understand what "spring is in the wild", what is in the spring wild, and at the same time, "spring", "summer", "autumn" and "winter",

It does not refer to seasons, but a sequence of practice.

Based on his Chinese language skills, the translation is: "In spring, I saw a sword between heaven and earth. In summer, the sword was imprinted in my eyes. In autumn, the sword has entered my meridians and merged with my energy."

, in winter, the sword is hidden in the heart..."

The latter sentence was already very straightforward, but it might be that this straightforwardness contained other symbolic meanings that he didn't understand at the moment.

Another sentence came to his mind: "A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for the time to move!"

The utensil here does not refer to a certain utensil, and the zang here does not refer to the hiding of things.

The whole meaning is that a gentleman should work hard to learn his skills, and when the time comes, he can use his talents.

Therefore, the sword here is in my heart, and it may not only refer to the sword, but a general symbol.

Of course, since it is said to be a sword art here, it must be understood around this "sword". As for the broader meaning, it is not the scope of his consideration now.

The sword is clearly in hand, why is it said that the sword is in the wild?

So he thinks it does not refer to the actual sword, but to the sword technique.

"Spring is in the wild." Lou Jinchen's understanding gradually became clear in his heart: "In spring, seeing various phenomena and laws between heaven and earth is like seeing various sword techniques, and I combined them into swords."

"Summer is in the Eyes: In the summer, I realized that this phenomenon and law were imprinted on my eyes, and I learned the sword technique."

Lou Jinchen thinks it should be like this. Different people will naturally have different ways of understanding a piece of magic when they see it, read it, and hear it. There is no right or wrong here. As long as you can understand it in your own mind, you can explain it.

Understanding is a kind of understanding, and being able to cultivate the Dharma is the true truth.

Lou Jinchen felt happy in his heart. This was a kind of joy after understanding a truth, and he understood the meaning of the person who said this.

And now the only charm he can feel is the "sensing the yin and yang" after practicing the qi refining method and opening up the qi sea. He seems to be able to feel the subtle changes in yin and yang between heaven and earth every moment.

That is brought about by the rotation of the sun and the moon. As long as he is willing, he can capture the yang essence and moonlight between heaven and earth at any time.

"When I see the Dharma, I turn it into a swordsmanship. I see Yin and Yang, and I should use the rhythm of Yin and Yang to practice it as a swordsmanship."

After Lou Jinchen made this clear in his mind, he drew his sword and waved it while he was still standing.

He tried to use his ability to sense yin and yang on his sword to form his own swordsmanship.

As he swung the sword again and again, he didn't feel a trace of fatigue or impatience. He didn't feel the slightest bit frustrated that he couldn't do it for a while, because he clearly felt that he made some progress every time he swung the sword.

His magic power is attached to the sword with his thoughts, and he senses the yin and yang through the sword. Through the sword, he activates the solar essence fire formed by the sunlight during the day, causing the essence fire to attach to the sword, so that he can easily

Hurt those weird and evil spirits.

He felt that in this way, the sword in his hand could be tempered by the sun essence fire and taiwan fire, turning this alloy sword with excellent toughness into a magic sword.

His thinking was divergent and he thought of many things at once.

As the sun was about to set, he actually found a feeling. When the sword was swung, there was a faint glow attached to the sword, especially at the tip of the sword.

The inner joy seems to nourish the growth of thoughts. In this process, the feeling captures the yang essence and returns it to the sea of ​​qi, forming the true qi and mana. Every ray of mana is the condensation of thoughts.

As the sun sets on horseback, pedestrians in twos and threes can be seen on the official road returning to their respective villages.

As far as Lou Jinchen knows about the world, every village will have one or two people who possess magic. The magic they practice may not lead to immortality or even extend life, but it has a very high status in the village.

We sit down for weddings, weddings, and weddings.

They can cure most of the common soul-losing people, and some can even survive the underworld, raise ghosts, drive away corpses or draw talismans. To them, these are not the secrets of immortality, but just a craft passed down from family.

As for the Dujiazhuang, it must be a big one. Even the owner of Huoling Temple asked her to make medicine. This shows how important it is to learn a craft.

Pedestrians on the road were not very afraid when they saw his horse. They just avoided the front, looked at his horse, and talked with their companions. It can be seen that they were used to seeing strange beasts.

At a fork in the road, there are several thatched huts, each with flags for tea, wine, and food. This is a place to rest. The huts are ventilated on all sides, but they occupy a large area. There are some businessmen and escorts sitting in twos and threes inside.

, or people visiting relatives and friends. Swimming City is located on the main land and water transportation route, and nearby people transport their goods to Swimming City for transshipment, or sell them in Swimming City, so there is constant business travel on the surrounding official roads.

The owner of the temple told him that this is the main sign. From here, turn onto another road and walk more than 20 miles to reach it.

He decided to take a rest here. The horse would not get tired, but the man would.

Although he opened up the sea of ​​qi, he has not yet emerged from the mortal world. The true qi in his body mainly comes from refining his own essence, and the time of collecting the essence of yin and yang is still short.

In the shadow outside the tea shop, I took out the rice balls and ate them with water.

I listened to the people talking in the tea shop.

"Grandpa, what is going on with this Ma Tou Po? It is so evil that even Mr. Lu Da is trapped in it." The person who asked the question was a young man. Lou Jinchen did not look back, but he had already seen that look before.

Keeping the people in the vegetable shop in mind, the person who asked the question was the grandfather and grandson sitting at the edge of the tea shop.

"Matoupo was originally a village. More than ten years ago, all the people in the village were hanged overnight, from sixty-year-olds to babies. This incident shocked all the surrounding villages, even if

People from Swimming City were sent to investigate the cause, but in the end no results were found."

"There are Taoist priests and monks who go there to recite sutras and achieve salvation, but their grievances still linger. When people pass by Ma Tou Po, they often see bright lights in Ma Tou Po Village. It seems that there are still people living there, but after some people go in, few people come out alive.

, even if he comes out, he will suddenly hang himself to death one day in the future, so someone proposed to build a temple town there to lock up the grievances there."

"Mr. Lu Da, a temple-building family in the swimming city, was entrusted to take his children to build a land temple there to use the earth god to suppress the evil that grew out of resentment in the land. After the earth temple was built, Matoupo Village became quiet.

But some time ago, lights began to appear again in Matoupo Village, and some people heard people in the village bustling."

"Well, I don't know whether the suppression of Tutu Temple has lost its effect, or there are other changes. Mr. Lu Da went to explore, but never came back. This time Mr. Lu Er invited those people to go to Matoupo, that is

In order to rescue Mr. Lu Da."

The old man's words made Lou Jinchen understand that someone else had gone to Matoupo Village.

He was almost rested, then he got up, got on his horse, and rode away. When he turned to the road leading to Ma Tou Slope, the old man who just spoke immediately followed him with his eyes.

Since the incident in Matoupo Village, that road has been deserted a lot, and few people take it, unless they are the kind of people who have no choice but to walk here, or those who feel they are capable.

Lou Jinchen has gained something in his heart, his heart is happy, and his horse is riding like the wind.

After the sun set and night fell, the horse he dismounted slowed down. The road ahead was already covered with grass and grass, and it had been a long time since a large number of pedestrians had passed through.

A nearby stream was clogged with mud and leaves, and the gloomy air was stagnant.

Several snakes with stripes of various colors were disturbed and burrowed into the grass. In the distance, a few yellow-skinned snakes stood on tiptoes in the grass and looked towards him, their eyes flashing with a faint light.

The mountains in the distance have become the thickest black in the night.

In this black and gray desolation, on a hillside that looks like a horse's head at the foot of a distant mountain, there is a patch of light that is mysterious and strange. It is a village.
