Chapter 236 235: Wukui County

"Senior brother, what is the goal of your practice?"

Shang Gui'an walked forward with a lantern and asked the senior brothers behind him.

"See the world!" Lou Jinchen answered quickly.

There is a crescent moon in the sky, and on the earth, the thick and thin parts are the mountains and the earth, and the white ones are the rivers.

Among the two people, one walked in front holding a lantern, while the other followed slowly and leisurely, as if walking in a painting of mountains, rivers and stars.

They didn't have to walk, but they chose to walk.

Only by keeping your feet on the ground can you feel the breath of this earth and mountains.

"Senior brother, can't you still see the world through your eyes?" Shang Gui'an asked.

"The world is vast and illusory, including the underworld, the yang world, the great world, and the small world. I have never even been out of Dongzhou, so how can I see through the world?" Lou Jinchen said.

"Since senior brother wants to see the world, why has he hardly left Jiangzhou Prefecture for so many years?" Shang Gui'an asked.

Lou Jinchen said: "If you want to see the world, you must first have the ability to see the world. Only when you enter that world can you truly see clearly. The purpose of practice is to prevent yourself from dying in the process. Therefore, practice is climbing.

Stairs are a lifelong lesson, and seeing the world is a distant but real goal at your feet."

"For us, practicing cultivation, cultivating magic, and pursuing the path to immortality is the direction, but it is by no means the only way. Some people use all kinds of methods for immortality, regardless of good and evil, like demons, but that is not the method of cultivating immortality, that is

Slave by desire.”

"Moreover, the changes in this world caused by the government of the temple will definitely lead to the emergence of strong men in the world. If you and I slack off a little, we will be left behind and drowned in the endless stream of talented descendants."

"Have you ever thought that a hundred years later, someone wrote history and said that when the Qian Kingdom opened a temple, the Jiangzhou Swordsman Tower shone for a while, but was eventually submerged in the long river of history and was just a flash in the pan.

"

Lou Jinchen's words suddenly brought him to more than a hundred years later, when both he and his senior brothers were dead, becoming the talking points of others and the background for their growth.

Others are walking on the road to eternal life, wearing bright clothes and angry horses, but I have become a withered skeleton under the flower tree beside the road.

No matter how shining it is now, a hundred years from now, it may only be a record of a few dozen words.

"A hundred years from now, senior brother will definitely still be there!" Shang Gui'an said with certainty.

"There are also different laws here. Are they still shining, or are they lost to the public? I am the leader in Jiangzhou, but what about the entire Qian Kingdom? What about the big states outside Qian Kingdom? Or other worlds?

Woolen cloth?"

Lou Jinchen said: "A turbulent era has begun. We are walking in history and legends. Whether we are praised in thick ink or passed by in passing, it all depends on today's feet!"

Lou Jinchen answered Shang Gui'an's question, saying that he wanted to see the world.

The world is all heavens and realms, but he believes that the world is by no means just this world.

When you see the world, you naturally have to meet the geniuses from all over the world. That would be interesting.

However, those are just daydreams, and everything must be based on the present.

The present is just the beginning of everything, he is still the prince of Jiangzhou Prefecture.

Suddenly there was the sound of rapid horse hooves from behind.

The two men immediately gave way to the roadside.

Then I saw a man riding on a horse. There was a light on the horse. The man on the horse had white hair. He rode past the two of them, carrying a box on his back.

It seems that this is a scheming person.

Because Lou Jinchen could feel the sinister aura on his body.

After walking two or three miles further, the sky was getting brighter and there was already a brilliant light.

In front of you is a farmland, which can be called a spiritual field. Spiritual rice is grown in the fields.

The name of Lingmi is Qianjin millet, which was originally the main crop in Jiangzhou. Nowadays, the Qianjin millet looks more and more beautiful, even in the faint morning light, it exudes a little golden color.

In the farmland, the sound of hoes was heard constantly. Before dawn, many people were already working in the fields.

There happened to be a person on the roadside who saw Shang Gui'an and Lou Jinchen approaching with lanterns. The other person's eyes were wary, but not very afraid. Anyone who dared to go out to work at this time also needed some courage.

This is a young man with a jade plaque hanging around his neck. The jade plaque emits a faint red light.

Lou Jinchen could tell at a glance that the jade plaque was engraved with the 'Gui Luo' dharma body, which was equivalent to an amulet.

At this time, he dared to come to the fields in this wilderness to weed, precisely because he had the "Ghost Lo" amulet.

The emergence of sacred temples has some shortcomings, but the benefits it brings are also obvious.

"Hello, Immortal." Of course the young man didn't know Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an, but he knew how to speak.

"Can this ridge of land be enough for a family of four to eat?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"When we return to the Immortal City, if we just eat food, it will be enough, but if we add other expenses in life, it will not be enough." The young man said.

"Can you tell me what the expenses are?" Lou Jinchen said.

"When I return to Immortal Chang, in addition to eating, I also need to wear clothes for all seasons. I don't need to buy new clothes myself, but working in the farmland is also easy to rot, so it is inevitable to buy cloth and weave new clothes, and at home

Wife and children, the four seasons should add more."

"Children, especially, are growing up, and new clothes have to be added every year. Even if they are replaced with old ones, it will take a lot of work. When the children reach their age, they need enlightenment, whether it is to learn to read or to be in the future.

Cultivation and enlightenment are a big sum of money."

"It is said that after entering the door of cultivation, the pills used to assist cultivation are also extremely rare. However, those are not things I can worry about. If they can practice, they can only earn it by themselves."

In the hearts of young people, it is obvious that they hope that their children can practice Buddhism.

"Oh, then, do you know where everyone usually starts their spiritual practice?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"We have a monk in our village. He was appointed by the government earlier. It is much cheaper than other monks. But he alone will not be able to take care of so many disciples, so I want to wait until my child arrives.

If you are old enough, send me to the Mengtang opened by the Iron Blood Escort Company."

"Oh? Is it nice there?" Lou Jinchen continued to ask.

"How should I put it? It's more expensive there, but if you start there and enter the practice, when you reach the age, you can find a job in the Iron-Blooded Escort Company, and practice as an apprentice at the same time. I heard that entering the country

It will be faster and you can get some wages." said the young farmer.

"However, the job in the escort agency is also a dangerous job." Lou Jinchen said.

"There is no dangerous job in this world. Even if I farm here, it is still dangerous. A few days ago, in the village next door, someone encountered a white murderer and three of them died." The young man said sadly.

"White evil?" Although Lou Jinchen had some guesses in his mind, he was not very clear. He found that he had not left home for many years and practiced in semi-reclusive practice, and he did not know much about many things among the people.

"Chang Immortal, don't you even know Bai Ji?" The young farmer was surprised that Lou Jinchen didn't even know this.

Shang Gui'an, who was next to him, immediately said: "The folk divide those spirits into four levels, namely gray, black, white, and red. The full names are gray wandering, black resentment, white fierce, and red fierce. It refers to their appearance. Gray

The wandering spirits, the black resentful spirits, the evil spirits with white eyes, and the fierce ghosts with red eyes.”

Lou Jinchen understood as soon as he heard that gray and black did not mention eyes in the front, which probably meant that their eyes were not yet formed.

The red eyes indicate that this 'spirit' has swallowed a large amount of essence and blood, and the evil blood of Yin spirit has been bred in the eyes.

"Heaven and earth are unkind, only the fittest survive." Lou Jinchen sighed and continued to move forward.

The two left, and at dawn they saw a woman bringing food to the fields.

Then passing by a valley, I saw a Taoist priest in black, holding a strange lamp in his hand.

The lamp has the shape of a 'Ghost', but its posture is to raise its head to the sky, with both hands on its lips, as if it is blowing flames outward.

Obviously, this is the Taoist priest of Lanluo Temple. The lamp in his hand represents the "Ghost Luo". The invisible flame emanating from its mouth is not an ordinary flame, but a kind of flame from

A divine fire condensed from the divine power of 'Kiluo'.

The servant's cultivation level was not very high, at most he was in the second level. He walked step by step into the house in the abandoned camp and opened the doors one by one.

Finally, after he pushed open a door, he felt a strong sense of coldness, as if he had fallen into a cold spring. The light in his hand surged, illuminating these rooms, looking for the 'White Fierce'.

He was a Taoist servant, and he guarded this area. A few days ago, a "white evil" killed people working in the fields. He searched for several days and finally found this place.

He searched and finally came to a mirror. It was a bronze mirror, which reflected his figure, but it was not very clear. As he got closer step by step, the shadow in the mirror also got closer step by step.

He looked carefully and saw that the person inside was indeed his face. However, the moment he saw it clearly, the eyes of the figure inside turned white, turning into two strange white spots.

The Taoist priest outside the mirror seemed to be under control, standing there motionless. However, the lamp flame in his hand moved. The lamp flame swayed without wind, and suddenly jumped, making a slight explosion sound, like inside hot oil.

A drop of water dropped in.

The white-eyed figure in the mirror suddenly burst into flames. It let out a strange cry, rushed out of the mirror, and then tried to escape. However, the light of the 'Ghost Lantern' in the attendant's hand clung to its body, preventing it from escaping at all.

The 'White Fierce' was quickly burned to death.

Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an saw this scene and did not show up, but left.

This Taoist priest's own cultivation level is not high, but by borrowing the magical power of 'Ghost Luo', he can get rid of this 'white evil', which is a good thing.

Shang Gui'an somewhat understood what his senior brother was thinking.

Not long after, Lou Jinchen and Shang Gui'an appeared in a city.

This city is called Wukui City.
