Chapter 11: The Art of Borrowing Life

The transaction was completed smoothly, and it was already 4 o'clock in the morning when Master and I returned to the guest house exhausted. (The fastest update speed, remember this site to find this site)

I took out some things that I was going to eat on the way, then bought two bottles of Erguotou and a bag of peanuts in the overnight shop at the guest house, and went to knock on Master's door.

Master really didn't sleep, and when he saw what I was holding in my hand, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly let me in.

I opened the oiled paper packet, and there were some braised beef inside, which I was going to eat in the steamed buns on the way, but I didn't eat them because I wasn't too hungry on the way, and then I poured the peanuts on the table, and then opened the second pot head, and Master and I each had a bottle.

Master twisted a piece of beef and threw it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then took a sip of wine, sighed with satisfaction, and then said, "Why are you coming to me if you don't sleep?" ”

"I vomited all the way up, aren't you hungry? Besides, it's 4 o'clock, and I have to go back to Beijing at 7 o'clock tomorrow, so it's better not to sleep. ”

"Yes, you're having another stomach you want to ask, right?" Master has already seen through my thoughts.

I nodded and said, "Well, Master, tell me about the old man, I don't know why, it's uncomfortable to enter his house, it's uncomfortable to see him, it's not comfortable to see that girl." Also, he is so black, ordinary yellow rune paper, it costs 100 yuan, blue, it costs 500, purple, it costs 2000, and after the rune is completed, give him a quarter, and the silver rune has to be exchanged for the spirit jade, I just think it's too dark. ”

Master peeled a peanut, squinted his eyes and said, "Black? It's not dark, there are not many people in this world who can make the best rune paper that can carry and keep the power. Besides, how many charlatans are there? People don't know that rune paper has special requirements, and those scammers just get a piece of yellow paper and draw a rune, how many people do you think can really buy rune paper? The production of some rune paper takes a lot of effort, and even has to be offered for many years, so don't talk nonsense if you don't know. ”

"But Master, that person doesn't look like a good person, I'm just uncomfortable." I took a sip of wine and said to Master with some excitement that after all, when the heart is young, I will always consciously judge a person based on my own emotional tendencies.

"Good guys? He's not really good, but in some places he's a very good guy. In the future, you also have to contact him, if he is not in this world, you will feel very troublesome, now there are not many talisman masters, there is such a one in Tianjin, just like a baby. "Master kept eating and drinking, and only then did he say a few words, so a big bag of beef went to a small half bag, and a small half bottle of wine was drunk.

"Since you want to contact him in the future, Master, can you tell me about him, ah? Also, Master, what are you doing with so many talismans? Do you want to draw silver charms? I smiled, I was planning to ask this.

"He? Don't look down on him, if he doesn't have a special reason, his own talisman is no worse than mine, and he is also a person with a mountain lineage! Master said lightly.

When I heard it, I was shocked, that old man turned out to be a person with a mountain lineage?

"Surprised, isn't it? Do you know why he is like that? Do you know why you are uncomfortable when you see his daughter? Because he used the technique of borrowing life to forcibly keep her daughter, her daughter's life is actually broken, and when you see her daughter, it is like seeing a dead person who is still alive, can you feel comfortable in your heart? "Master was really calm when he said this, maybe he already knew about it, so he didn't think there was anything else.

The art of borrowing life! My head 'buzzed', this is too against the sky, but the art of changing my life against the sky is a little simpler.

The art of changing one's life against the sky is to create something from scratch and create something for others, but the art of borrowing one's life is to borrow the lives of others.

On the surface, the art of borrowing life is more powerful than the art of changing one's life against the sky, after all, the art of changing one's life against the sky has a limited lifespan, but in fact, the art of changing one's life is even more powerful, at least in this world, there will be no side effects, it can change your life, that is, in addition to longevity, there are blessings, all kinds of lives.

The art of borrowing life, just borrowing other people's longevity, can hardly hide their own life, and the range of activity will also be limited, once out of a certain range, people will age rapidly, and if you are a sick person, even if you borrow your life, the disease will still torment you, and even exaggerate, if you borrow your life to a critical point, the flesh on your body will rot.

You can't borrow more than forty years!

It is different to change your life, once you change to longevity, you can immediately live without illness and pain, and live no different from ordinary people.

But no matter what, for me, it is a spell that cannot be touched at all, I can never do it, I only know superficially, one of the methods of borrowing life, blood is the essence of itself, as long as you can put forward the essence of blood, you can implement the borrowing of life.

This is still what I got from reading the classics, in detail, I can't quite read it, this must be taught by the master, but unfortunately at my current level, the master can't teach me.

Seeing my appearance, Master smiled indifferently and said, "He loves his daughter very much, do you think he is very old?" He was only 50 years old, and his daughter was supposed to go when she was 7 years old, but now that she has lived to be 24 years old, he lent his life to his daughter, and he did this in exchange for some resources to cultivate his body, so that his body could be as strong as possible, and he could lend more life to his daughter. ”

Is this fatherly love? I thought about it carefully, if it were me, I would have died at the age of 7, and my father happened to be able to borrow the art of life, and I didn't dare to think about it all of a sudden.

Maybe this person is harsh on others and must be compared, but he is indeed a good person and a real good father to his daughter.

As if he didn't think I was shocked enough, Master continued: "He also had the opportunity to be in the same department as me, he would have a better life, and it was also for his daughter to refuse, and he started a business in this Yin Market, because the people who come to the Yin Market are all knowledgeable people, and every two months the Yin Market opens, his business will naturally not be bad, and the Yin Market is a very risky behavior, and the ghosts will fight back, maybe to some extent I can't hide, and it is necessary to ask him for one or two life-saving things." There is a deviation between what he has learned and mine, I am more important to the spells, he is more important to all kinds of cultivation tools, practice weapons, even if it is the same vein, in fact, it is like a difference between the world and the world. ”

"Master, but you often say that the law is natural, if his daughter wants to go, why force him to stay?" Do I think this is too much to pay? And does his daughter really want to live like this?

"A sentence of Taoism is natural, how simple is it to say? A sentence can break through the red dust, only leave a clear heart, the meaning is also very simple, don't you understand, it is difficult to cultivate the mind, it is difficult to abandon, the heart is difficult, it is difficult to be pure? Some people can't abandon money and power, some people can't abandon all kinds of emotions in the world, and a heart that has experienced red dust and can't be broken, how can it be pure? Master said.

I looked at the master a little stunned, the master raised his eyebrows and looked at me, and said: "Don't think it's too easy, I can't do it, it's very simple, you are my unabandonable difficulty, in this world, there are always fetters, originally I wanted to be high, but if I don't integrate into the masses of sentient beings, how can I practice my heart in the red dust?" But once you melt into the red dust, you find that you are already riddled with cause and effect, but you always close your eyes and can't abandon it, the difficulty of the road lies in what you think is very ordinary, even sweet. ”

I took a sip of wine and realized that I might not be able to complete the so-called Dao Heart Consummation without using Hongchen to train my mind, just as I would never be able to leave behind my family, my friends, and my master!

But I wanted to take it easy, so I casually said, "Sweet thing? Like love? ”

"Love? Chengyi, don't look down on it, this is the level that makes you really sad. Master sighed and took another sip of wine.

Having a hard time? I don't think so, I don't think I'll have much nostalgia for anyone, until now, it's not like I haven't had a girlfriend, but I really can't say how much I can't let go, I think Master is serious.

I changed the subject and asked Master, "Master, then you haven't said what you bought these runes for?" ”

Yes, in addition to the yellow rune paper, Master bought 5 blue runes, 3 purple runes, and 1 silver rune paper.

I think it's wholesale?

I have been with Master for so many years, and I haven't seen him use the blue and purple rune paper a few times, and as for the silver one, I used it once when the Hungry Ghost Tomb was sealed, and it was unintentionally broken by Guo Er and them.

Actually, I'm really not convinced of the efficacy of the silver charm, of course, it was my stupidity at the time!

"The blue and purple talismans are for this trip to Sichuan, and this matter is not so simple." Master said lightly.

"What about the silver ones?"

"Oh, I want to draw a peace charm for your Uncle Li."

'Poof' I squirted out a sip of wine, the peace charm is so low-level, it is actually painted with silver rune paper, you know, the cinnabar used to draw the charm, there is also a ruby powder!
