Chapter 3

"The method of crossing the soul? what is that?" Zhang Zhao was confused.

Yuan Ming was not in a hurry, and patiently said to him: "All living beings in the world have a fate, and countless people still have regrets at the end of their lives, and their mood cannot be settled when their souls are scattered." At this time, it is necessary for relatives to be by their side so that they can die peacefully. The same effect is true of the scriptures recited by the monks, which are known in the world as rituals. ”

Zhang Zhao somewhat understood: "What the master means is to let me learn this and do things for those livestock?"

Yuan Ming nodded: "That's roughly the case, when chanting, have the thought of compassion and pity the suffering of all sentient beings." In order to give some comfort to those resentful souls who have been taken alive.

Zhang Zhao is not very old, but he has been reading and reading with a gentleman in the town who does not charge money since he was a child, and he understands a lot of the truth in this world. Although I don't seem to understand what Yuan Ming said, I can understand some of it. What's more, this is what he promised in advance.

He nodded at Yuan Ming with great certainty: "Okay, then ask the master to teach me." ”

Yuan Ming's move was originally a compassionate and compassionate meaning, Zhang Zhao inherited his father's business and also killed countless people, and the lessons of the past are in front of him. That's when I thought about passing on his requiem spell. He saw that Zhang Zhao was still young, and he was also worried that he would do more. I was very relieved to see that he agreed.

The requiem mantra is not long, and there are more than a hundred words, and each word is quite awkward. There is no written record of this scripture, and it has been passed down orally from generation to generation since the founding of Kuzen Temple. Whenever a living soul dies, the monks in the temple will recite this transcendence.

Yuan Ming recited it several times, and Zhang Zhao didn't want to disappoint him not only for his promise, but also because Yuan Ming was grateful for his father's treatment. Do your best. actually memorized more than 100 words that he had never heard before.

Listening to Zhang Zhao's accurate recitation of the requiem mantra, Yuan Ming was also very surprised. This passage of the Kuzen Monastery is not a secret that cannot be passed on, but it takes a long time for everyone to recite it correctly when they first learn it.

His original idea was that Zhang Zhao could vaguely remember that reciting it every day would at least eliminate some resentment. Reciting the Dharma is all based on sincerity, and the feeling of having no regrets is the most important.

Seeing Zhang Zhao's somewhat smug look, Yuan Ming patted his head again. "Of course, it's a good thing that you can memorize it, and when your father is well, you have to let him recite it several times a day. ”

Zhang Zhao hurriedly asked, "Master, isn't my father's illness completely cured?"

Yuan Ming shook his head slightly: "How can it be so easy, although this immortal crystal can make his body recover for a few years, but after a long time, it may recur, it is best to wear a piece of immortal crystal with you, it is safe." ”

Looking at Zhang Zhao's somewhat puzzled expression, Yuan Ming said again: "Immortal crystals are not easy to come by, and I just got one from the person who overturned your flesh case." Depending on the situation at home, it is difficult to have so many silver taels to exchange. So it's better to have your dad recite the mantra. ”

Zhang Zhao heard what he said solemnly, and hurriedly asked, "Master, is the stone called Xianjing very expensive?"

Yuan Ming smiled: "The little donor doesn't have to worry about it, the purpose of accepting the gift was originally to help the world and save people, and the father of the little donor is seriously ill, and it is also the place where it needs to be used." I only hope that in the future, the little benefactor will have a compassionate heart, so that the heart of the giver will not be in vain. ”

Zhang Zhao didn't seem to understand, just nodded and took Yuanming's words to heart. Yuan Ming asked him to recite the scriptures again, and sure enough, it was word for word, and secretly sighed that his intentions were not in vain, and told Zhang Zhao to pass on the spell of requiem to his father, and then he said goodbye and left.

Zhang Zhao looked at Yuan Ming's back and breathed a sigh, he was afraid that he would recite a wrong word, and he couldn't stand Yuan Ming's grace for help. When he turned around and looked back into the house, the man on the bed was already a little ruddy, and his breathing was steady.

Since then, Zhang Zhaoping has calmly chanted the soul before killing every day. After a few days, the requiem spell was ripe, and in less than a month, the requiem spell was already clear to me.

His father Zhang Daniu's condition is also getting better day by day, and he can finally bask in the sun in the hospital while drinking and scolding Zhang Zhao's technique, and occasionally point his fingers. At night, the thunderous cries were heard again.

After the day returned to the right track, Zhang Zhao remembered Yuanming's words when he was leaving, this immortal crystal can only resolve a few years of soul resentment, and he will have to rely on this requiem spell in the future, so Zhang Zhao taught Zhang Daniu to read the scriptures sentence by sentence according to what Yuanming said.

The old butcher lived for fifty years, and he never even memorized a line of poetry, and after listening to Zhang Zhao read two sentences, he felt dizzy, and after listening to a few more sentences, he felt even more uncomfortable than when he was sick, and shouted: "Rabbit cub, you might as well stab me with a knife." "I went to bask in the sun.

Zhang Zhao tried a few more times, the old butcher turned a deaf ear, and kicked with his legs, Zhang Zhao had no choice but to give up, and he talked to the old butcher about the fairy crystal, mentioning that maybe he would use a fairy crystal in a few years.

The old butcher glared at the bull's eye and asked, "What is the fairy crystal?"

Zhang Zhao didn't know very well, so he went around to inquire about the origin of the fairy crystal, and it happened that now the people in the town were talking about the remarks of Master Ma in the tea hall, and this time Zhang Zhao knew the value of the fairy crystal, and a low-grade fairy crystal would cost 10,000 silver to buy.

At that time, 10,000 taels of silver turned into his father's chest, and he didn't know that in fact, Yuanming used a medium-grade immortal crystal, and its value was ten times greater.

The old butcher was even more pained when he found out: "Lao Tzu can't earn that thing even if he puts his life on the line, not to mention that it only takes a few years, and he will die, just as this time he has picked up a few years of good life", so he continued to bask in the sun and curse people, not taking the period of several years to heart.

Zhang Zhao calculated, after selling the meat for a few years, he only saved a few hundred taels of silver, so that the old butcher's next immortal crystal would have no hope.

But he didn't despair completely, he just wanted to earn more money, and he worked harder in his usual days, and cleaned up the livestock more carefully, washed the internal organs and sent them to the wine shop in the town, and sold them for a few more dollars of silver.

People in the neighborhood have always sent him to do this kind of work, but even if he has a few more businesses than usual every day, he will not have more than a few taels of silver in a month.

Zhang Zhaozheng was thinking hard about how to make money, and one day he passed by the pharmacy and saw Ding Dayou, a guy in front of the pharmacy, who was pasting a notice paper with a few big words written on it, "Collect bezoar".

Zhang Zhao said hello to Dayou, and inadvertently asked about the content on the paper, Zhang Zhao didn't know what the bezoar was, and only after asking Dayou did he know that it was something like a hard stone in the cow's body.

Ding Dayou said: "There are very few things, a hundred cows may only have one, but I heard the shopkeeper say, what donkeys, horses and dogs and the like are also available, this thing can be used in medicine, but the amount is not much, in our here is fine, in the big town, it can be sold at a good price." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zhao took it to heart, and since then, when he cleaned up the internal organs of livestock, he searched carefully to see if there was anything Ding Da had to say, and within a month, he really found a few, whether it was a donkey or a horse or a cow or a dog, they all got it to the pharmacy together.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy is surnamed Wang, and he also has some medical skills, and he was the one who first treated Zhang Zhao's father. When the king's shopkeeper saw it, he was sure that it was exactly what he needed, and he accepted it all for fifty taels.

Zhang Zhao was even more overjoyed, and searched carefully every day, but next month he only found one piece and sold it for ten taels of silver. At this time, it had been a full year since Yuan Ming left.

A rough calculation, but there were only more than 1,000 taels of silver in the cash box. Although there are a lot more than before, it is still far from exchanging immortal crystals for the old butcher.

When he was sitting in the courtyard and worried, there was a big deal, the oil shop in the west of the town Liu shopkeeper came to ask Zhang Zhao to do the work, Liu shopkeeper was over forty years old to add a new fat boy, very happy. I came to invite Zhang Zhao to kill more than a dozen livestock at home and feast the neighbors of the whole town.

Zhang Zhao cleaned up the guy, said hello to the old butcher, got up and went to the backyard of the shopkeeper Liu's house, more than a dozen pigs, cows, donkeys and sheep had been bolted, Zhang Zhao was not verbose, and after chanting the mantra quietly, he picked up the knife and put it on in less than an hour.

At this time, it was already dark, he called Liu shopkeeper to settle the salary, Liu shopkeeper pointed to the corner of the courtyard, Zhang Zhao raised his eyes, only to see a thin donkey lying on the wall, hearing the screams of the same kind before dying, was frightened to soften the four hooves.

Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile: "It's not easy for me to have a happy event, so I'll let you also have some joy." Although this skinny donkey is a little older, you can bring it with you enough wages. ”

Villagers kill livestock, originally had the habit of paying wages with live animals or raw meat, Zhang Zhao thanked the shopkeeper Liu, and led the old donkey back home, although the old donkey was thin and dry, Zhang Zhao estimated how to have more than 20 catties of good meat on the road, plus donkey skins and bones sold to the pharmacy, this business is really good.

When he arrived at home, Zhang Zhao didn't wait much, he directly tied the old donkey and put it down, and after the requiem curse, he killed the donkey and skinned it, and the old donkey was reincarnated without even a few screams.

When cutting the belly of the old donkey, Zhang Zhaoleng took a look, the old donkey was extremely thin, but there was a large round ball with a foot square in the middle of the belly viscera, he cut the knife on the ball and looked at it, so surprised that he could hardly even hold the knife.

He also found a few pieces of donkey treasure, only the size of a finger, the color and texture of this big ball is the donkey treasure, but this head is also too big.

Zhang Zhao ignored the blood stains, took out the spherical donkey treasure, washed it with well water, wrapped it in a cloth and carried it to his body and ran directly to the pharmacy.

At this time, it was already dark, the pharmacy had already closed, Zhang Zhao opened the cloth bag after knocking on the door and entering, and the eyes of the shopkeeper Wang were almost out of his sockets.

Shopkeeper Wang laughed: "Zhang Zhao, you can make a fortune now, such a strange thing, when you get to the big town, there will definitely be a pharmacy to buy it as a treasure of the town store." ”

Zhang Zhao was a little puzzled: "Mr. Wang, why don't you buy it?"

The shopkeeper sighed: "I can't afford it, such a strange treasure, a few thousand taels of silver is not enough, in a big town, it can be sold for tens of thousands of taels, how can a small pharmacy like ours afford it." ”

Zhang Zhao was overjoyed in his heart, and now the old butcher's illness had hope, and immediately asked the shopkeeper Wang how to sell this donkey treasure.

Shopkeeper Wang thought for a while: "Next month Aoki City is an annual market, and it is the largest in the vicinity, I will go to see some medicinal herbs, you can go with you, as for whether you can sell it, how much it can be sold, it depends on chance." ”
