Chapter 13: The Charm of Calming

After breaking up with Xiaofan's cold drink shop, I called my mother to ask about the items needed to draw talismans.

She told me that I should be able to buy what I wanted in the innermost part of the newly built clothing street, and there was an old shop that specialized in Buddha worship utensils, which was managed by an old uncle.

Walking all the way, I asked a few households, only to find that there was a store in the innermost part of the clothing street, and there was a faint red glow in the open space at the entrance, and I knew that this might be the appliance store my mother mentioned.

I stepped into the store with a feeling of joy, and as soon as I entered the place, I felt that the fatigue of the past few days had subsided a lot, and the person seemed to be a little more energetic.

"Kids, do you want to buy things for your adults...... Hmm, what do you want to buy?" asked abruptly, a voice with the sound of an urn.

I just came back to my senses, and I was shocked!

I looked around and found an old man of about fifty years old sitting on a dark red soft leather sofa in the shop, smoking a cigarette stick.

The guy wanted to smoke, and he said he missed the smell of the stick.

I ignored him, took a few steps forward, crossed the Buddhist utensils on both sides of the store, went straight to Uncle A, and said respectfully: "Uncle, I want to buy half a catty of cinnabar, a hundred pieces of yellow table paper, and a few wolf pens." ”

He looked at me in surprise and asked incredulously, "You don't want to sue me, you want to draw a talisman, do you......?"

Old Abel's voice was very hearty, and he didn't feel the slightest disdain and disdain from it, but his next second of action disturbed me.

I saw him stand up suddenly, and he came to me with one step out, a pair of palms with age spots clasped my wrists, his hands were like iron tongs, I struggled a few times and couldn't break free, so I had to look at him unpleasantly.

When he was about to question him, he spit out the smoke with a look of experience, watched me turn around, knocked on my shoulder with a cigarette stick, and said with a smile: "The qi in your body is twice as high as that of ordinary people, who are you?"

I twisted my wrist and looked at him with an unhappy face: "Who do you care about me, I buy things and you sell things, you can't do business!"

The old man was not angry when he looked at me, he knocked me on the shoulder with a cigarette stick again, sat back on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Open the door to do business, naturally those who come will not refuse, promise...... This is the total price of these items. ”

I took the invoice he handed over and looked at it...... Damn, what kind of price is this, it costs me a total of 500 yuan!

I threw down the invoice, took out a cigarette and lit it, and looked at him with a sneer: "You really dare to charge money, this price for this thing? Don't you just want to know where I learned from? Your father won't buy it!"

I turned to leave, but he stopped me with a shout.

According to his wishes, things can be given to me for free, but I have to help him with one thing, he told me to come here at this point the day before the Lantern Festival, and he needs my help with something.

I thought about it, I have to solve the matter of Sichuan cuisine in the next two days, otherwise he will definitely have an accident, I must draw a few anti-evil charms for him to defend himself, and in the same way Xiaofan, I also have to give her a few pieces of self-defense, but I just don't know if the runes I drew can be used effectively.

Nodding in agreement, he turned around and went into the back room, and after a while, he took three wolf pens, one each large, medium and small, half a catty of cinnabar, and a pile of yellow table paper.

After that, I thanked and left.

……

When I got home, I went to take a shower, then sat cross-legged on the bed, silently recited the Tao Te Ching, and as I recited it silently, word by word syllables resounded in my room, and weak air currents continued to enter and leave my body.

I don't know how long it has been, I am immersed in the Tao Te Ching and can't extricate myself, Lao Jun's charm stays in it, every time I watch it, I always feel shocked from the heart, until a knock on the door remembers, I look up at the sky outside the window.

Before I knew it, I had been on my knees in bed for an afternoon, and now the sky was glowing red, and it looked very gorgeous.

I touched my stomach, got up and opened the door.

It was my aunt, and when she saw that I was very energetic, she asked in surprise, "You came back all day and slept at home?"

I nodded, avoided the topic and asked her if she was ready? She looked at me suspiciously, and then asked me to go and call my grandfather to eat together.

……

After dinner, I turned my phone on silent, turned off the light in the room, lit a candle, took a deep breath, straightened the yellow table paper, held a small wolf pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and stared at the appearance of the anti-evil talisman in the spirit gathering talisman in my heart.

There is a charm in the talisman that I can feel very uncomfortable when I gaze at it, as if the next moment I will be suppressed by this talisman and unable to turn over.

Put aside the distractions in your heart and write in a moment!

The drawing talisman pays attention to the spirit and spirit condensed into a single strand, as if to fuse the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire and earth into one, and there is a song that can show this difficulty: it is not that simple.

The first few pieces of yellow sheet paper were all invalidated, and a lot of sweat was dripping on my forehead, requiring the spirit and spirit to be completely condensed when drawing the talismans, which was comparable to the danger of ascending to the sky, as long as I was distracted on the way, even if it was just a trace.

The talisman is also invalid.

Putting down the wolf's pen, touching a handful of sweat, he got up and went to the bathroom again, and he had to take a shower.

Ten minutes later, I stood firmly in the bedroom, silently reciting the Tao Te Ching in my heart, at this moment my spirit was very condensed, and streams of invisible qi continued to go in and out of my body, washing my slightly tired body.

Half an hour later, the tiredness was gone, replaced by high spirits.

Holding the wolf pen again, stained with cinnabar, imagining the appearance of the anti-evil charm in my mind, and suddenly the pen walked the dragon, and I could feel that the anti-evil charm in my heart is me, and I am the anti-evil charm.

When the last stroke is completed, the yellow paper of the pen blooms, and it is fleeting!

I know that I can't stop at this moment, and if I stop this state, I will quit and I won't be able to draw the talisman.

So I held the wolf pen in my hand very quickly, stained with cinnabar, and remembered with a subtle swishing sound, one after another calming talismans continued to bloom yellow, and at this moment I seemed to have a trace of the charm of a talisman.

When I felt a little in a trance, the last talisman was only completed, and after announcing the scrapping of this talisman, I went limp, and lay on the bed, panting heavily.

It's really tiring to draw talismans!

At this time, the mobile phone screen next to me lit up, and the call prompt was a call from Xiaofan, and she told me that something had happened to Sichuan Cai and she was now in the hospital.

When I said I knew, I hung up the phone, and soon I realized that it had taken me a full hour and a half to draw the talismans, and I looked at the anti-evil talismans on the table, and there were twelve of them, which meant that each talisman took me seven and a half minutes.

He picked up a few anti-evil charms, carefully folded them and put them in his pocket, grabbed his mobile phone and rushed out of the room.

……

In the hospital ward, in a room of six people, Chuancai was lying weakly on the hospital bed, one of his legs was broken, he was hit by a motorcycle, flew out a few meters away and hit the foam box, and broke a leg.

Fortunately, this kid's life is not short-lived, otherwise this collision is estimated to be directly sprinkled with Nala.

In the ward, I stood with Xiaofan, except for Zi Youliang, the rest of the people were not available to come over tonight, I looked at Sichuan's parents and comforted them Don't worry, he is now growing his physical age, and he will be fine soon.

Then, I didn't care about his parents' looks, took out a few folded charms from my arms, stretched out my hand and handed them to Sichuan Cai, and told him, this is what I just drew at night, but I didn't expect you to have an accident one step ahead.

Sichuan Cai weakly took the anti-evil charm, his leg was just broken, and now he is hanging the bottle, according to the meaning of the doctor's words, the bottle must be hung to reduce inflammation first, otherwise it is easy to get infected once the operation is opened, and it is easier to have an accident at that time.

According to the introduction of the spirit gathering talisman, the anti-evil charm can be pasted in the middle of the room to prevent evil, and the evil is the ghost, that is, the grievance.

His parents looked at me with a very strange look, but they didn't say much, according to which Sichuan Cai might have told his parents about me.

I told his parents to be sure to put up the charm of calming evil, otherwise the ghost would definitely come to visit tonight, and something might happen to Sichuan Cai if I wasn't there.

Hokkien people are like this, especially the local people in the countryside, once you say the consequences strictly, they don't believe it, they have to believe it, after all, as long as there is an opportunity, no one wants their children to have an accident, not to mention that their children still trust me so much.

said goodbye to Sichuan cuisine, and left the hospital with Xiaofan and Zi Heliang.

It's a place where people die all year round, how many people are born and die here?

When I got out of the hospital, I took out a charm and handed it to Zi Youliang, and told him that the talisman must not get wet, even if it was just a little wet, and told him to stick it when he got home, so that their family could be safe.

After sending off Zi Youliang, Xiaofan and I walked on the street, and the wind was very cold at night, always cold.

During the Chinese New Year, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and it was more than nine o'clock in the evening, so there were even fewer people.

Xiaofan and I snuggled up tightly, neither of us spoke, and so did my heart

The cold wind blew her long black hair, and the indifferent fragrance lingered in my heart, and with me, her face always had a smile, a sweet smile, a silver bell-like laughter.

This is my little girl.
