I flipped through the book again, and suddenly, I heard Yao Hongling shout loudly: "Qiao Yang, look, there is a little red umbrella stuck on this book."
I looked carefully and saw that there was really a small red umbrella stuck on the book.
"Did you buy a second-hand book?" I asked Yao Hongling.
"No! The old man selling the book told me that this book is new." Yao Hongling replied.
"Let's go and see the old man first."
Yao Hongling and I took the book and hurriedly walked towards the pedestrian street not far from the community.
The street is bustling, and both sides of the street are full of small vendors setting up street stalls.
Yao Hongling took me to a corner by the river bank, where I finally found the old man buying books.
"Old man! You sold me this book, do you remember?" Yao Hongling walked up to the old man selling the book with a smile.
When the old book seller saw Yao Hongling, he waved his hand in a panic and said, "Girl, my book selling business is a small business. I won't withdraw from the deal."
This old man probably thought I came to him to refund his money.
I smiled and said to the old man: "Old man, we are not looking for you tonight to return the book, but we want to ask you where did you get this book?"
The old man patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my book is definitely first-hand, not second-hand."
I looked at the old man carefully and saw that he was so sure that I couldn't pursue anything further.
"Old man, do you have a book exactly like this one? I want another one." I asked the old man and showed the cover of the Taoist book in my hand to the old man.
The old man shook his head and said: "No more. This book is very difficult to buy, and I finally bought one. If you want it, there is also a copy of "Lu Ban Law" and a copy of "The Return of All Laws to the Sect"
", the general content is almost the same."
The old man smiled and explained to me: "Just take a look at this thing, but don't take it too seriously. It is said that some people have developed problems after practicing the spells above. Therefore, I need to remind you, don't take it too seriously."
It’s so crazy.”
What the old man said was very true. I don't think he is a liar. The purpose of looking for the old man was to find out the source of the book. I was afraid that the book came from the second-hand market. If it was dug out of a coffin
Yes, it is the most normal thing for it to have a ghost attached to it.
Now that the old man has said this, I have no reason to doubt it anymore.
"Old man, please give me the "Lu Ban Fa" and "The Return of All Fa to the Clan" again!" I asked the old man.
I decided to take a look to see if the other two books also had little red umbrellas.
"Okay!" The old man smiled and nodded. He immediately bent down, took two books from the bottom of the stall, and handed them to me.
I took the book and saw that it was two new printed books. I opened it and took a look. I was shocked. I saw that on page 44 of the book, without exception, there was a handful of paper-cuts.
Little Red Umbrella, it’s obvious that someone has messed up this book.
"Old man! Look, there is a little red umbrella on the top of this book. Is there any explanation?" I asked the old man.
The old man took the book and looked at it with wide eyes, and said to himself: "Hey! Strange, why is there such a thing in this book?"
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said to me: "It's nothing, it's probably an event organized by the bookseller! It's a gift! It doesn't affect the appearance anyway. It's good if you can read it. It's okay!"
The old man smiled and returned the book to me.
Judging from the old man's expression, it is possible that he did not know that there was a red paper cut included in the book.
I had to pay and put away the three books.
"Come on, let's find a place to eat first." I winked at Yao Hongling, planning to find a place to fill my stomach first, and then find a crossroads to send the book away after eating.
As soon as I turned around, I heard the old man shouting to me and Yao Hongling: "Young man, what is in this book means you must not practice indiscriminately. Without the guidance of a master, it is easy to get into trouble."
"I know! Thank you!"
I nodded towards the old man.
I don’t know what the old man means by saying this. However, it seems that this old man should know a little bit about this industry. He is right. There are indeed some spells that cannot be practiced randomly. There is a saying
Well done, "Incense will not be burned indiscriminately, and gods will not be invited indiscriminately."
If something is not done well, the ghost will be summoned, as was the case with Yao Hongling last night.
But what I don't quite understand is how this ghost is attached to the book. It's a bit puzzling.
"Let's eat here! I'll treat you to beef hot pot tonight." Yao Hongling smiled at me.
I said to Yao Hongling seriously: "Remember, as a disciple of Taoism, there are several types of meat that you cannot eat. One is dog meat, one is beef, and one is snake meat. These three types of meat cannot be eaten.
Eat it, and the talismans you draw after eating it will not be so effective. Moreover, eating dogs will cause internal qi chaos, so it is not suitable for cultivating internal qi."
These are all taught to me by Master.
Yao Hongling listened and stuck out her tongue at me without saying anything else. We randomly found a fast food restaurant to solve the problem of dinner.
I took out two other books I bought from the old man and flipped through them casually. The general meaning was similar. As I flipped through the pages, I couldn't help but be startled.
I discovered that some of the talismans were actually what my master had taught me, but I had just made some modifications intentionally.
For example, the Five Thunder Talisman obviously has five circles on the left and right sides, but in the book "The Return of Ten Thousand Dharmas" that the old man gave me, there are six circles.
Obviously, this is illegal. It is very possible that this book was deliberately changed like this by someone else. The fear is that the people who bought the book will actually learn the spells in the book.
There is an old saying that "the law is not passed down lightly", Taoism is not passed down easily from person to person.
If you look carefully, you will see that some of the spells in the book are also spliced together from various versions. The three books are fused with each other. Obviously, the things in this book are half true and half false. If you continue to practice like this, you will really kill people.
Moreover, these three books are most likely written by the same person.
I opened the book and looked back and forth. There was no publication number, and there was no information about the bookseller. Obviously, this was a self-edited book and then printed.
"Okay, let's burn these three books here! Before burning the three books, I first invite the ghost in the book out. I have to ask what kind of ghost this ghost is."
I said to Yao Hongling.
At this time, Yao Hongling and I had arrived at a crossroads by the river. There was no one there. I planned to burn three fake magic books here.
Let’s take a look first to see what kind of ghost is attached to the book.
I put the book in front of me, placed the three books on a stone, performed a Taoist ritual on the three books in front of me, and then started to persuade the ghosts.
"Please kindly ask all ghosts and gods to leave this book as soon as possible. Today, Qiao Yang, a disciple of Maoshan, casts a spell on the book. This disciple originally upheld the righteous Dharma and burned the spell books that were not up to par with the Dharma. I hope you, the great immortals, will do this for your convenience. Don't be angry."
Although I say it is a great immortal, I actually know very well that the thing attached to the book is 100% a ghost. I just don’t understand what kind of ghost is in the book. This guy is not interested in the human body, but he is interested in books.
I took out a blank piece of talisman paper from my magic cloth bag, and prepared to use my mind to activate the talisman fire and open the yin and yang eyes.
Just when I took out the talisman, I suddenly heard a "dinging" sound coming from behind me. I turned around and was startled.
I saw a little girl, eleven or twelve years old, riding a bicycle and drove straight into me.
"Hey! Hey! Be careful..." I shouted loudly and quickly moved aside.
With a "bang", the girl's car fell to the ground. With a crash, a large number of books were thrown out of a military green schoolbag on her back.
The girl glared at me with eyes wide open: "What are you doing?"
Looking at the angry look on the girl's face in front of me, I felt a little embarrassed. After all, I was in the middle of the road, blocking her way.
"Little sister, are you okay?" I asked the girl with concern, reaching out to help her as I spoke.
The girl shook my hand away, frowned and said, "I don't want you to help me."
The girl's expression made me very depressed. Suddenly, the girl's eyes fell on the three books beside me, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face. "Brother, can you give me these three books?"
"
"You can't understand this book!" I replied to the little girl with a smile.
"It's okay, I can take it back and study it slowly." After that, the girl took it upon herself to pack up the three books on the ground.
After she packed the books, she took the bicycle and hurried forward quickly.
Before I could see clearly, the girl turned a corner on her bike and disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the girl's leaving figure, I felt suspicious for a while. I thought, in this day and age, who would send such a big 28-year-old bicycle? And the little girl was carrying a military green schoolbag, which seemed to be
Not very suitable for modern students.
The most important thing is that it seems that I am on leave now!
Damn it, did you just see a ghost?
But that little girl didn't want anything else, so why did she just take three books from my hand?
I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Qiao Yang, look, there is blood on the ground." Yao Hongling whispered to me.
I looked carefully at the ground, and there was really a pool of blood here. Then I looked carefully at the ground, and there was a long wheel mark on the ground. It looked like there had been a car accident here.
It's really a bit weird. Judging from what the old man said tonight, the problem should lie in those three books.
"Manager Yao, let's go back and see if the old man is still there. I have something to ask him." I said to Yao Hongling.
Yao Hongling nodded and agreed to me.
The two of us were going back along the road, and suddenly I saw Yao Hongling stopped.
She pointed to a stone beside the road and shouted: "Qiao Yang, look, there is a Taishan stone here."
"I saw that there should be frequent car accidents in this place, so I asked an expert to place a Taishan stone here to calm the evil spirits nearby." I replied.
Yao Hongling nodded, her body jumped slightly, and she sat on the Taishan stone.
"Don't sit down. This is an evil stone. Women cannot sit casually, otherwise it will easily destroy the aura of the gem." I warned Yao Hongling.
Yao Hongling rolled her eyes at me unconvincingly, "Why does it destroy our aura when we women sit down? Are you men okay?"
"For the evil-suppressing stone, it is not good for men or women to sit on it, which will affect the evil-suppressing effect of the day. But if it is a woman, in some special circumstances, the evil-suppressing effect will be seriously damaged." I said.
"Oh! What counts as a special situation?" Yao Hongling asked.
"For example, a woman's aunt is here." I replied.
"Ah! That's it." Yao Hongling listened to my words and immediately jumped down from the evil-suppressing stone, "Qiao Yang, I have seriously damaged this evil-suppressing stone. What should I do?"
As she was speaking, she suddenly saw her eyes widening, pointing behind her with a frightened face, and shouted: "No! There is a car..."
I turned around and saw a bright light coming from the front, and then I saw a large truck speeding toward the intersection.
Listening to the "rumbling" sound of the truck, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
"Flash!"
I grabbed Yao Hongling's hand and rushed towards the grass nearby.
