Chapter 21 Qualifications
"But even if it's a psychic man...... Unless you are the most senior psychic master, you will not be able to see the past and present lives of demons and monsters at all...... The kind of prophetic dreams you have as you say are almost a special case within a special case. β
ββ¦β¦ Really? Am I a psychic person? β
I'm a little confused myself, but when I think about it, I think it's a little strange. Regarding the slaying of demons and demons, my father will not talk about it for the time being, my grandfather is considered an expert among the connoisseurs in my eyes.
It's just that grandpa didn't want to talk too deeply about these things because of the curse brought by the taboo burial scriptures, but only told me the most basic things, and the purpose was also to let me have the power to protect myself when I encountered similar things in the future.
But if I really am a psychic, I don't think my grandfather would have known about it, and he would have told me.
"I can't say for sure, after all, in my opinion, you kid doesn't have the qualities that a psychic trainer should have. Moreover...... If you're still a descendant of an underground burial master, it's even less likely that you're a psychic master. β
"And that kind of statement?"
Sister Lan nodded and said, "Yes, maybe you haven't seen the world yet, so you don't know much about these things, but according to the most widespread statement, it is impossible for a person to hold two professions at the same time, and the person who can do it is almost one in a million." β
"I see......"
"Moreover, there is also a saying about the compatibility of this demon slayer profession - to give you an example, for example, the compatibility of the witch profession is relatively high, so the possibility of being both a witch and a psychic is higher. And the compatibility of the Underground Burial Master is almost the lowest among all the demon slaying professions......"
I scratched my head and said helplessly, "In other words, it is almost impossible for the underground burial master to practice another profession, right?" β
In simple terms, this is the case, but it cannot be ruled out that there are exceptions. Now you are a special case within a special case. β
Sister Lan stared at me with her chin propped up, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity. From time to time, he stretched out his hand and pinched my face, which made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was being treated like some exotic animal.
"I said Zhang Jun, you kid shouldn't have lied to me, right?"
"Look what you're referring to." I angrily slapped Sister Lan's outstretched hand away and said.
βοΌ What do you mean? β
I snorted and said, "If you're referring to the part where I praise you, it's a lie." β
"You're looking for death, stinky boy!" Sister Lan was stunned, and when she heard that I was ridiculing her, she immediately grinned.
"Don't quarrel, don't argue, you two might as well clear things up if you have time to quarrel!"
Wang Er Mazi hurriedly stopped Sister Lan, and then said with a bitter face: "Did I say that you two just said human words?" What kind of psychic medium, burial, witch, tolerance, mess, I didn't understand a word. β
I smiled and said, "It's really worthy of a man with zero points in the Chinese test, this understanding ability, excellent." β
Wang Ermazi's face, which was thicker than the city wall, turned rare red, and said indignantly: "Brother Jun! Isn't it a bit too much to expose people's shortness? And how many times have I said it! It's 3 points! Not a zero score! β
"Good, good, three points and three ......"
Seeing Wang Ermazi's blushing appearance after a long time, I also felt quite funny, and the bad mood was also relaxed.
"But then again, if what you kid just said is true, it means that you may have the potential to be a psychic master."
"Didn't you just say that I don't have the characteristics of a psychic maker? Why did you change your tune again? β
Sister Lan shook her finger and said, "There is a special case to everything, and besides, what I'm talking about is potential and not characteristics, and the two are not the same thing at all." β
"Listen up."
Sister Lan tilted her head and thought for a while, then clapped her hands and said, "To put it simply, potential is equivalent to talent, and characteristics are the characteristics of a profession." β
I pondered for a moment, then seemed to understand what Sister Lan meant, and asked, "You mean that I have the qualifications to become a psychic medium, but I am not yet an official psychic medium?" β
Sister Lan showed a hint of a smile, nodded and said, "The brain is not stupid, that's it." If you think about it this way, you can have precognitive dreams, and you can also have the highest level of precognitive dreams, which can be explainedβbut because you are not a real psychic, you certainly don't have the skills that other psychicists have. β
I thought about it for a moment, and then said with a wry smile, "But in this case, it seems that the problem still can't be solved." β
After that, I glanced at Wang Er Mazi, and then continued: "Although this kid has always wanted to urge me to take on high-priced private work, but ...... If I can't follow my last wishes, I'll run into that monster, and I'll be in danger. β
Sister Lan nodded slowly, and seemed to agree with my statement.
"Also, you said you're not an official burial master yourself, are you?"
"Well, because my grandfather didn't want our Zhang family to die, and it was forbidden to learn the funeral scriptures since my father's generation."
Sister Lan sighed and said, "Although I can't understand your grandfather's feelings, isn't there a burial master who has learned the funeral scriptures...... Alas, no matter how you think about it, it's useless. β
"You can't say anything nice." I looked at Sister Lan speechlessly and said.
"How to put it nicely, this is the truth, is it good. I originally thought that you kid could see the demon spirit because you used the skills of the underground burial master, but now it seems that this is not the case at all...... You're just a good-for-nothing little dirt bun and a piece of waste. β
I was so angry, but I couldn't argue with the woman who was smiling and scolding me.
"Hmph, women are fickle, just now I praised me as a genius, but now I have changed my taste all of a sudden."
"I'm not complimenting you on being a genius, I'm just saying that you have the qualifications."
Sister Lan took out a peanut from the plate that was placed aside and gently placed it in the center of the table.
"Look, this is a peanut, we all know that there are delicious peanuts in this shell, right?"
"So what?"
"If we can smash the shell, then the peanuts have value β they become delicious food."
Sister Lan threw the gently crushed peanuts into her mouth, and then brought another one.
"However, if there is no way to open the shell of this peanut, then the flesh contained in it is no matter how delicious it is, no matter how rich it is, it is useless. After a long time, it will automatically rot. When the time comes...... It's no different from rotten peanuts that have been corroded by bugs. β
I didn't speak, just quietly stared at the peanut that was placed in the middle of the table, and I felt something inexplicably in my heart.
Sister Lan didn't say anything, but I already understood what she meant.
I'm like this peanut, and the trait of my ability to have prophetic dreams is equivalent to the flesh of peanuts if it's a talent.
Eventually, if I can succeed in becoming a psychic master, or burial master, then I will have my own value - to be a unique demon slayer.
However, if I can't become any kind of profession and keep my current state of being neither a burial master nor a psychic master, no matter how high my talent is, it will be meaningless.
After a long time, after a long time of standing still, talent will rot sooner or later.
As if seeing that my mood was a little low, Sister Lan smiled lightly, pretended to be relaxed and patted me on the shoulder, and said, "But you don't have to worry too much, Xiaotu Baozi, you are still young, and the days ahead are still long, and I don't think you should have any plans for the future, right?" β
ββ¦β¦ Intend? What do you mean? β
Sister Lan blinked and said, "Of course, I want to live as an ordinary person, or I want to live as a demon slayer." β
ββ¦β¦ Didn't think about it. β
If you think about it, I don't think I've ever planned this carefully.
The most profound education I have received since I was a child is that I must leave a legacy for our Zhang family.
And in order to stay in the future, you must not study the funeral scriptures again. Once you learn the Funeral Sutra, you will be cursed to become a short-lived ghost who will not live to be thirty years old, and then you will lose your children and grandchildren, and never think of reproducing offspring.
Or maybe I'm not a natural person, or maybe my grandfather's obsession is too strong. I also subtly took my grandfather's last wish as my own wish.
So if you think so...... I guess I've always been aiming to be an ordinary person.
Now, the reason why I found Wang Er Mazi and took the risk of taking a high-priced private job was actually to accumulate funds for marriage. Who made me face the embarrassing situation of not wanting to marry a daughter-in-law if I don't have money in my hand.
But what do I really think?
Staying away from demons and monsters, not being a demon slayer, and living as an ordinary person, is it really the life I want?
After pondering for a long time, I found that instead of appearing the answer, my head was getting more and more painful.
Grandma's, I find that things related to life plans are always so ambiguous and hateful.
It seems that there are countless possibilities at my age, but in fact, the more I think about it, the more sad I feel, and the more I realize that everything has already been predestined.
There aren't so many options at all, for example, I'm like this now, either I can live as a salted fish, or I will take a risk, completely go against my grandfather's wishes, and live a completely different life as a demon slayer.
Of course, the idea of a second life was completely just born, if it weren't for meeting this woman named Sister Lan, I guess I would still think that there were only a few demon slayers in the world.
Sister Lan looked at me for a long time without speaking, stretched her waist greatly, then stood up and said, "Okay, little soil bun, I also understand your situation now, since you don't have the ability to eliminate demons, then I haven't said anything about it." β
After that, Sister Lan also turned her head to look at Wang Er Mazi on the side, and said, "Let's go, let's go and find someone else, if it doesn't work, I have to go into battle by myself." β
Wang Er Mazi looked at Sister Lan in a daze and said, "Sister Lan, didn't you say that it was too risky for you to do this private work by yourself?" β
Sister Lan pinched her waist and leaned over, squinted at Wang Er Mazi, poked his chest, and said, "So if you stinky boy don't want to see me killed by monsters, go and help me find a reliable demon slayer as soon as possible, understand!" β
"Ming, understood!"
The clothes on Sister Lan's upper body are a little wide, and after bending down, you can faintly see the outline of the plump mountains, and the evil fire in Wang Ermazi's eyes can't be hidden at all.
