Chapter 227: Contract
"In the future, if you draw a yin map, the ghost eater Yaksha and Xiao Qinghe will sense the power of summoning at the same time?" I have to say that before Xiao Qinghe talked to me about this, I hadn't paid attention to this problem, and I was a little stunned when I thought about it at this time.
In other words, every time I use the Yin Harvesting Diagram in the future, it will cause a dispute between Xiao Qinghe and the Oni-Eater Yaksha like that night?
This...... Definitely never.
"Then you just said that for some reason, you couldn't change that picture to one that can only be attached to the Yaksha, why did you do that?" As soon as he realized that this question was a little strange, Xiao Qinghe spoke again.
I didn't think much about it, so I replied: "Actually, this level of change is quite simple, as long as some characteristics of the Oni-Yaksha are added, the reason why I have not been able to change it is because although the change is simple, it requires the consent of the Oni-Yaksha, and only if it agrees, and leaves some of its breath on the diagram after my changes, the change can be considered a success." ”
"Unfortunately, although I have attracted the ogre Yaksha itself, and I have also used the Yin Harvesting Diagram to attract its spirit, I have never had a chance to talk to it. It never meant to communicate with me, and I always didn't have time to try to communicate with it for one reason or another, or simply forgot about it, and only remembered it later. ”
Make changes on the basis of the original spirit map, and different from creating a map, the creation of the spirit map is a very difficult thing, once created, you can join the "Spirit Map Chronicle" in the inheritance, and this changed map, can not be inherited, only the person who changed it can use it, so in terms of difficulty, it is simply a heaven and an underground, I am far from that ability.
To put it bluntly, the way the Lingtu is used is "citation", and to a certain extent, this word has the meaning of "please".
Since it is an invitation, it is destined to have a time when you can't come, to put it mildly, whether to respond to the call of the spirit map or not, to a large extent, it is up to the spirit itself to decide, you can come if you want to, and there is no way to draw a spirit person if you don't want to.
Think about it, sometimes, let Lingbai run, or seal it back halfway to Linglai, it will attract backlash and be punished, and it will not be able to be cited again for a period of time, and it is not difficult to know how low the "right to speak" of the person who draws the spirit in the process of dealing with the spirit.
This is fundamentally a completely unequal relationship. Even if the character explodes, the fate will attract the essence of the spirit, and gain its favor, and take the initiative to establish that connection, the person who paints the spirit is still in a passive situation.
Therefore, according to the connection established by the spirit itself, it is essential to make changes to the spirit map to truly form a contract-like relationship, and first obtain its consent.
This is the fundamental reason why I knew that as long as I made a slight change, the Yin Harvest Diagram would become a "Ghost Eater Yaksha Diagram", but I didn't do it for a long time.
In the final analysis, it is because in the "cooperation" with the spirit, the painter is completely passive and weak.
Although sometimes when I think about it, I will feel very helpless, but there is no way to do it, who told us to "ask for the spirit"?
Even when the Spirit initiates a connection, to a large extent, it already means agreeing to the relationship, but in order to show respect, it is necessary to at least let the Spirit know before making changes, so as not to blame the Spirit. At the same time, this is also our sect that is like a spark, and the rules that cannot be shaken by thunder. After explaining everything, I finally said.
Looking at me with a complicated expression, Xiao Qinghe sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that your skill is so difficult. ”
"Actually, it's not entirely like this, just like my master, although I have seen him with my own eyes and really show what he has learned, but I can feel that in the process of dealing with spirits, he has a high right to speak, so in the end, I am not good at learning and have not been able to grasp the essence of painting spirits." Gently shaking my head, detached from some bitter emotions, I chuckled.
I don't want to know, but now that I think about it, I suddenly realized that unconsciously, I had already talked so much to Xiao Qinghe.
Speaking of which, this is the first time I've introduced the painting spirit in as much detail as possible, probably no one has ever asked me so seriously before.
After a moment of silence that seemed to understand or not, Xiao Qinghe suddenly looked at me and said, "Then, if you change a picture for me, only I can attach it." ”
"What?" I couldn't help but look at her strangely, and I didn't react for a moment.
As if having made up some kind of determination, Xiao Qinghe said with a resolute face, and at the same time smiled with a somewhat casual smile: "Doesn't it mean that as long as you agree, you can change it on the basis of the original picture?" Since you can change it for the Yaksha, you can definitely change it for me, and I agree to what I need to do. ”
"What?!" The same two words, but two completely different artistic conceptions.
I finally reacted, what did Xiao Qinghe mean.
She wants to be the same as the Ghost Eater, no, before the Ghost Eater's Yaksha, she really established a contract-like relationship with me, so that I can change the Yin Harvesting Diagram to a new diagram that only she can sense the power of summoning in the future!
Is this possible? Absolutely not!
Knowing what she meant, my face suddenly changed, and without thinking about it, I shook my head decisively and said, "No, this is absolutely not good, how can I do this to you, absolutely not!" ”
"Why?" Seeing that I reacted strongly, Xiao Qinghe was suddenly puzzled.
"There's no why, just no! Sister Qinghe, we are friends, since we are friends, I must not be like this. I shook my head again, I couldn't agree to this.
"Why?" Xiao Qinghe asked again.
I hurriedly said: "What's the reason, because we are friends, we can't, and there is no need to form this kind of relationship again, so Sister Qinghe, don't say it anymore and don't ask again, in short, if it doesn't work, it won't work." ”
Still looking at me a little confused, after a while, Xiao Qinghe suddenly smiled lightly.
"Looks like you need to calm down first."
I didn't think about it, I looked at her and said, "No, I'm calm now, so you don't need to say it anymore." ”
"Okay......" Xiao Qinghe smiled until he looked at me and began to feel unnatural, and then smiled: "Since you don't want to, then I won't force you anymore, but can I ask you a few small questions?" ”
After looking at her cautiously and making sure that I would not waver no matter what, I nodded slightly.
"The first question, is it difficult to change your original picture?" Xiao Qinghe asked with a smile.
I've said this question before, and it's basically not difficult, so I shook my head.
Nodding with a smile, Xiao Qinghe asked again: "The second question, after changing your spiritual map and forming a contractual relationship, will it bring you any trouble, or will you need to sacrifice anything?" ”
After thinking about it, I replied, "No, it will not cause any trouble, and it will not require any sacrifice, but it will be a lot of good." ”
"Then, the third question: After the formation of a contractual relationship, will I be made to sacrifice, or will it be coercive and binding on me, so that I will lose my freedom?" Xiao Qinghe asked again.
I was stunned for a moment, then looked at her seriously.
Before the words came out, Xiao Qinghe smiled and said: "I want to listen to the truth, if you are lying, I can tell it." ”
I couldn't help but be stunned again, and after hesitating for a moment, I had to shake my head and say that it would not be the same.
Although a contract-like relationship has been formed, in fact, the main function of this contract is that it will save more time when summoning, and there is no compulsion, and there is no situation where once it is formed, it can no longer be dissolved, so there will be no binding force on both parties.
If there is a constraint, there will be no spirit at all, and you will be willing to establish this kind of relationship with the person who paints the spirit.
Therefore, it is more like an agreement between the two parties than a similar contract.
After listening to my explanation, Xiao Qinghe's smile suddenly bloomed even more: "Last question, is this kind of contract unique, can it only be established with one spirit?" ”
I shook my head and said no, since there is no binding, there is no uniqueness.
"That'...... Since there is no such thing as any coercion or uniqueness, why wouldn't you want to? Xiao Qinghe smiled, looked at me and said, "You are willing to form this kind of contractual relationship with a fierce and murderous ogre Yaksha, but you don't want to, so you refuse me, is it because I am inferior to it in something?" Or are you actually just, a sister on your lips and a good name, but in fact you don't treat me as a friend at all, and you don't want to have too much to do with me? ”
Reasonable and well-founded, I was completely stunned when I heard it, reacted, couldn't help but change my face slightly, and quickly explained No, it is precisely because I really regard you and Brother Yang as good friends that there is no need to have this kind of relationship again.
Eyes staring at me, Xiao Qinghe said seriously: "Why is it not necessary?" I can't stay with you all the time, and you're always facing all kinds of dangers, what if you are in danger and need help, and I don't know and can't make it? Do you want me to have to argue with that ogre yaksha first whenever you use that picture, knowing that you are in danger? ”
"What I want is nothing more than for you to change that picture for me, and in the future, as long as you use the map to summon, I can know as soon as possible, you need help, you can arrive faster, why don't you want to? Shouldn't it be more so, because you call me sister and treat me as a friend, so I should be there when you need help? ”
In the end, it turned out to be a bit resentful.
I was completely speechless.
It's all right, but why do I still feel a little awkward?
In short, I always thought in my heart that since I was a friend, I shouldn't let her always revolve around me and become my ...... Tool.
That's right, it's the tool. Although I think I am a good person, and I can't do things that are consumed by the desire for profit and stick a knife in the ribs of my friends for the sake of profit, it is inevitable that sometimes I will act under the impetus of interests, even if it is not entirely for money, but in my opinion, once I get involved in money, from the perspective of interests, the nature has changed.
In this case, if Xiao Qinghe is still used by me, I don't feel sorry in my heart.
I will definitely become more and more accustomed to such a strong and stable enough helper, and even rely on her more and more, so the number of times I use her to get money will increase.
How can I accept this with peace of mind?
But, how can we dispel this idea without misunderstanding Xiao Qinghe?
Before he could think of the wording, Xiao Qinghe spoke again.
"I know, you think that since you are friends and you are already separated by yin and yang, you shouldn't let your affairs involve me too much, worrying about what impact it will have on me. But have you ever thought that in doing so, we're actually helping each other? ”
I looked up at her in bewilderment.
Seeing that I hadn't turned a corner, Xiao Qinghe explained: "The reason is very simple, as long as this contractual relationship is formed, no matter where I am in the future, I can sense your call." You just thought that you could summon me when you were in trouble in the future, why didn't you think that if you encounter something similar to this girl's experience, and there is a possibility of turning back, you can also summon me? ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, and then my eyes lit up.
"You think that's the case?" Seeing that I finally understood, Xiao Qinghe's smile suddenly bloomed again.
That's right! That's exactly what happened! When I am in trouble, I can summon her to come over to help, but when I meet her requirements, I can also summon her over, such a simple truth, why didn't I understand it?
Just thinking about it, even if this kind of contractual relationship is established, it doesn't mean that you can sit back and relax, you still have to maintain enough respect for the spirit, and you can't summon it casually, but Xiao Qinghe's situation is completely different, she and I don't need to be so cautious at all, let alone let her run away, even if it's just to summon her to chat, there is no need to worry about being attacked at all.
This pig's brain, how can he not even turn this little bend!
Knowing what Xiao Qinghe meant by mutual assistance, I couldn't help but feel refreshed, and I was a little excited.
In this way, the establishment of this contractual relationship is not just for her to use unilaterally, but with such a powerful helper as her, I can also help her, find those who meet her requirements, and help each other, killing two birds with one stone.
"Now that you have understood that it is good for you and me, then you don't hesitate so much, do what I say." Seeing that I had been greatly relieved, Xiao Qinghe suddenly started to iron while it was hot.
Suppressing the excitement in my heart, after looking at her and thinking for a while, I said, "Sister Qinghe, why don't you ...... Do you wait for me to think about it? Although on the surface, it seems that forming a contractual relationship is only good for us, but we have never experienced this kind of thing, and our situation is quite special, so I want to think about it again. ”
