After carefully observing Xiao Keren's face and complexion, Xuan Bao's expression softened a little, and she casually pasted the two good luck charms back on.
Feeling comfortable, Xiao Keren exhaled, and his whole body seemed to be alive again.
"Third brother, judging from your appearance, you are originally a very lucky person. From childhood to adulthood, you have been blessed with good luck, turned bad luck into good luck, and everything has been smooth sailing."
"When you say that, I'm really lucky when I think about it." Xiao Keren sighed after finishing speaking, "However, since a year ago, everything has been going wrong for me. At first, I was bumpy, but then...,
All in all, it’s hard to put it into words.”
"Do you know why?"
"I don't know, are you trying to say that I've had bad luck since then?"
"No, I want to tell you that your luck has been stolen."
"My luck has been stolen?"
Xiao Keren followed Xuan Bao's words. After he finished speaking, he reacted belatedly and was shocked.
Xuan Bao put his hands behind his back and looked like a kid: "Your luck has been stolen. According to what you said, it should have been stolen bit by bit."
Can luck be stolen a little bit? Xiao Keren's eyes were filled with confusion.
The second brother also said that the third brother was smart, but he didn't understand anything at all. Forget it, I'll just explain a few more words. Xuan Bao disliked Xiao Keren in his heart.
"Didn't you just say that at first, things just didn't go well, and a little bit of your luck started to be stolen. Later, it was stolen a lot, and you started to be unlucky. Later, you had less luck.
Unfortunately, the bad luck around you will also catch up with you, and you will be in bad luck."
After hearing Xuan Bao's explanation, Xiao Keren seemed to understand a lot, but he still had questions in his mind.
"Why do you conclude that I am possessed by bad luck?"
"Do you know what those two talismans are?" Xuan Bao pointed at Xiao Keren's face.
Xiao Keren couldn't help but cover his face with the magic talisman and looked at Xuan Bao, even more confused.
Just listen to Xuan Bao continue to say: "Those are two good luck charms. Good luck is designed to resist bad luck. If you put these charms on your face, the black air blocking your mouth and nose will dissipate, so..."
Having said this, Xiao Keren also understood that it was indeed the bad luck that had haunted him.
"Xuan Bao, if you don't know?" Xiao Keren blurted out.
"If you don't know, third brother, you still have about half a month to live." After Xuan Bao finished speaking, Xiao Keren's expression changed drastically.
The little doll didn't dare to joke and quickly continued: "But with the Xuan Bao here, you can't live as long as the turtle, at least you can live for several decades."
What does it mean to have ups and downs in mood? Xiao Keren finally experienced it.
Seeing Xiao Keren calming down, Xuan Bao asked: "Third brother, think about it carefully. Did you lose anything before you had bad luck?"
"Yes." Xiao Keren didn't even have to think about it, "I lost the jade pendant I wore since I was a child."
"The jade pendant you have been wearing since childhood?" Xuan Bao's eyes lit up, "What jade pendant?"
"I'll show it to you."
Xiao Keren stood up unsteadily. He felt increasingly weak and weak. He staggered and almost fell. Xuan Bao quickly reached out to help him.
Originally, she wanted to push Xuan Bao away, fearing that she would fall and crush her, but she didn't expect to find that the little doll was so strong, holding her arms and waist firmly with her two small hands.
"Third brother, please hold on to the table and stand still."
After Xiao Keren stood firm, Xuan Bao took out a handful of magic talismans from his arms and grabbed it in his hand. She stepped back several steps to distance herself.
"Don't move, trust me."
After Xuan Bao finished speaking, she muttered some words, and she recited the mantra of pure heart to exorcise evil spirits and made gestures with her hands.
Xiao Keren stared at Xuan Bao blankly. In a daze, the little doll seemed to be shrouded in a misty light. That little face was so holy that it made people feel ashamed and dared not look at it.
The moment the talisman was struck, Xuan Bao's fingertips shone with golden light, and the talisman on his little hand was also stained with the golden light when it was thrown towards Xiao Keren.
Seeing all the talismans flying towards each other, the golden light stimulated Xiao Keren's eyes. He remembered Xuan Bao's words and remained motionless. The moment his eyes closed involuntarily, he caught a glimpse of them all sticking to his body.
Quickly lowering his head and opening his eyes, Xiao Keren saw that all the talismans were attached to his body, and the moment they were attached, they all spontaneously ignited.
There was no burning or scorching feeling at all. If it weren't for the ashes left by the burning talisman under his feet, Xiao Keren would have thought he was dazzled or in a dream.
Xuan Bao smiled brightly and asked loudly: "Third brother, how do you feel now?"
"Feeling?" Xiao Keren subconsciously reached out and raised his feet.
After jumping around for a few times, Xiao Keren couldn't believe it: "Okay! I feel fine, it's completely fine, you are so amazing!"
Before the little baby came back to her senses, her feet had already left the ground. She exclaimed and hugged Xiao Keren's neck firmly with both hands.
"Xuanbao, I'm sorry, thank you." Xiao Keren was so happy that he was confused when talking.
"Don't spin in circles, third brother, I'm dizzy."
Holding Xiao Xuanbao in his arms, he felt how small she was, and could still smell the fragrance of milk belonging to a little baby in his breath. Looking at her pink and jade-like little face, Xiao Keren scolded himself again in his heart.
"Okay, don't spin around. Are you okay?" Xiao Keren hugged Xuan Bao with one hand and raised his other hand to gently touch her little head.
Feeling the third brother touching his head very gently, Xuanbao smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you, third brother, I'm not dizzy anymore. Please let me down."
Xiao Keren carefully put Xuan Bao down. When he saw the ashes at his feet, he moved a little further to put her down.
"Third brother, right now I'm just trying to remove most of the bad luck from you, but it's only treating the symptoms but not the root cause."
“Then how to cure the root cause?”
"Just now you said you would show me the jade pendant."
Xuan Bao didn't answer the question, but Xiao Keren believed that she must have a purpose in asking.
He took the jade pendant handed over by Xiao Keren. As the saying goes, men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha, but his jade pendant was a Budai Buddha.
Xuan Bao took the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully near the light.
"Sure enough, I passed this."
Hearing Xuan Bao muttering to himself, Xiao Keren couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything wrong with the jade pendant?"
"Third Brother, look here." Xuan Bao held the jade pendant on his right palm with one hand and pointed to the position of the Bag Buddha with his left hand.
Stepping forward and looking carefully, Xiao Keren said in surprise: "It seems like there is a hole."
"That's right, it's just a hole." Xuan Bao remembered what Xiao Keren said just now, "Third brother, is this jade pendant lost and recovered?"
"I wore a jade pendant as a small belt. Last year, I thought that I was so old that it would be inappropriate to wear a jade pendant with Buddha beads. I was reluctant to put it away. I happened to lose it, but I found it again. After that, I wore it for a while.
, I just put it away not long ago.”
Xiao Keren took the jade pendant and caressed it with doubt in his eyes: "Did I remember it wrong? The jade pendant seemed to be perfect in the past."
"You haven't noticed. It should be said that the cloth bag of the Budai Buddha Jade Pendant has been torn since it was lost and recovered." Xuan Bao said firmly.
