Chapter 367: Heavenly Damnation
The words of the second senior sister were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which shook my whole person in a trance.
That's right! Since we are the Ghost Eater, the Ghost Eater card is something that every Ghost Eater has. Recalling carefully, I have the impression that from childhood to adulthood, whether I call my uncle or master, the old man's chest is empty, and there is nothing at all!
I instinctively tried to find excuses to convince myself of something hidden in my clothes and out of sight, but these reasons simply didn't hold water.
I have traveled with Master for three years, and I have bathed together in the bathhouse more times than I can count, and if Master had a ghost eater card, I would not have known.
Such an illogical thing, I didn't even think of it until the second senior sister said it, the word dull is used on me, I'm afraid it will feel wronged!
But when I think about it, it doesn't feel right.
Although the old man had hung this wooden sign on my chest since I was a few years old, the old man kept telling me that it was just a talisman until he opened a shop for me, and he did not say a word before leaving.
Except for what the second senior sister said today, everything about the ghost eating card is something that I have learned from Lao Bi and myself. Why did Master do this? What kind of medicine is sold in the old man's gourd?
Regarding my question, the second senior sister said that she could probably guess the reason, and even she felt inexplicable, at least she and the two senior brothers and sisters of the master's "novel teaching method" did not catch up.
And she also told me very clearly that when their brothers were apprentices, the master did have a ghost eating card on his chest!
The second senior sister said that twenty years ago, when the master said that she had adopted an orphan, she and the senior brother and the third junior brother did not take it to heart, and the master had done a lot of good deeds and accumulated virtues, which was also what the old man taught them all day long.
It wasn't until more than a decade later, when Master suddenly announced that he would accept me as a closed disciple, that they felt that something was wrong.
"The weirdest thing is here......"
The second senior sister's voice was full of deep doubt.
"If you just want to accept apprentices, then you don't need the old man to come in person, your third senior brother's ghost eating card has been split for many years, and he still hasn't found someone who is destined, so why does the master have to accept apprentices himself?"
The three of them were puzzled and puzzled, but the master was silent about the matter, obviously unwilling to explain the reason.
The three of them naturally knew that the ghost card could only be split three times in their lifetime, and after several analyses, they felt that the ghost card on my body was nothing more than two situations.
One is that the master catalyzes the ghost eater card to forcibly split, and the other is even more extreme, that is, the master scatters the imperial spirit in his card through a secret method to give birth to a new spirit.
If it is the second case, then it means that the sign on my chest is not the result of the split, but the original card brought by the master!
But in either case, it was a fatal blow to Master. The spirits bred in the Ghost Eater card live and die together with the Ghost Eater, and once they are beaten, the Ghost Eater will inevitably die together.
For so many years, Master has been alive and well, which means that he is willing to bear the curse of heaven and forcibly catalyze the fourth split with his ghost eating card.
As for where the Master's original ghost eating card went, and whether it disappeared because of the fourth split, this also became a mystery.
After opening the shop for me, Master disappeared completely, and no one knew where he went. This situation further confirms the speculation that my Ghost Eater card is the result of a catalytic split, and that Master is suffering from God's curse.
Because of this, on the one hand, the senior brother did not understand, but he was also worried about the safety of the master and his old man, so he transferred all his anger to me, thinking that I was the initiator of everything, and hostility arose from this.
These words left me speechless, and I instantly felt like an ominous disaster star.
The second senior sister obviously sensed my low mood, and when she changed her words, she comforted me instead.
"Su Bai, Senior Brother is the kind of jealous and hateful character, relatively straightforward, since you already know what happened, don't blame him......"
She paused, then continued.
"I believe that Master must have his reasons for doing this, as the saying goes, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower will see the hearts of the people for a long time, and we will naturally understand in the future, maybe there is really some last resort."
After the second senior sister comforted me, she continued to express her analysis. She said that no matter whether my ghost eating card was catalyzed or not, the spirits bred in that card are dependent on me for life and death, and as long as I am alive, the spirits in the card will not die.
In addition, my little stinky fart has been cultivated to the realm of the Imperial Spirit, and the half-spirit and half-physical Imperial Spirit will not easily dissipate even if the true qi is lost, but the method of retrieving it still needs to be studied.
Even the second senior sister has never encountered the loss of the imperial spirit, but she told me not to worry, she will help me research, and she will contact me as soon as she has a method.
Hanging up the phone, my feelings were even more complicated.
Although I finally understood why Senior Brother was hostile to me, I couldn't do anything, and I was even more confused by Master's approach, and I felt a sense of weirdness in my heart.
But the second senior sister's words "As long as I am alive, the imperial spirit will not completely dissipate" finally made a glimmer of hope swell in my gloomy heart.
In the following days, on the one hand, I was waiting for news from the second senior sister, and on the other hand, I was soaking on the Internet all day long, looking at those unreliable forums and QQ groups that were as bizarre as marquee, searching for information.
Living in an age where people seem to be globally connected, the distance between people is shrinking. In fact, it makes people more dependent on the Internet, and basically abandons all the previous ways of understanding the world, such as reading books and newspapers.
Unconsciously, we seem to have formed an instinct to go to the Internet to seek answers first no matter what problems we encounter, as if everything on the Internet is correct and absolutely true.
The names of the QQ groups I found are varied, some are called "monk group", some are called "spirit research group", and some even have more hanging names, what is the name of "The Law of Flying Immortals".
These groups look very bluffing, but in fact, after a tedious application to enter, I found that they are basically advertisements for books or some so-called "health products", VIP members of various indescribable small websites, and so on.
I can't help but laugh, I don't know what this indescribable thing has to do with monasticism. Could it be that just like the amorous master of the white scoop, what kind of double cultivation method is it to help the female benefactor drive away the "evil omen"?
It is also difficult to find effective information from website news and scarf articles. Basically, most of the paragraphs are copied from an encyclopedia entry, and it is not clear what the spirit body is, and a few words are used back and forth, which makes it look big.
The "valid information" that matches the search content is so confusing, and the information that I find is completely useless.
I don't know when it became popular in China for travelers and self-driving tours, to put it bluntly, it was a self-organized travel plan with netizens as participants. On the forum, there are countless kinds of group posts and registrations.
