Chapter 14: The Book of the Dharma
Wang Shenghai looks like he has a big temper and is impatient with his mouth, but when he sees that the old man is going crazy, this old man still has to be cowardly.
Although he dared to talk to the old man at the beginning, but when it came to the hands-on work, I felt that Wang Shenghai really didn't have any ideas, to put it bluntly, he didn't dare to do it with the old man at all.
Not only that, but in the eyes of those other descendants, the old man is by no means light.
Before Wang Shenghai walked out of the pharmacy, the other masters said goodbye and retreated, but Wang Shenghai was the last to go out.
It only took a minute before and after, and the people in the pharmacy were gone.
The hall, which had been overcrowded, was now empty.
"These dogs, grinding and chirping and tossing with me, tired to death....... old man said, the old man yawned and said, stretched his waist for a long time, and his expression was very impatient: "I knew that there would be such a day, I was still self-cultivation and a fart, and I directly scolded these beasts away, that's not ........."
I listened to the old man's chatter, couldn't help laughing, and helped him fill the enamel teapot with water: "Master, you were majestic enough just now." ”
"It's okay."
As soon as the words fell, the old man picked up the enamel tea jar and took a sip of tea gently.
"Wang Shenghai is so strong and utilitarian, he plans to fight with me once, and wants to borrow me to become famous, as long as I say a soft word, it proves that he has won."
Speaking of this, the old man laughed, looking like I had expected it a long time ago: "It's a pity, he didn't expect it, my temper is still the same as before, I prefer to do it instead of being verbose, he really thinks I have no temper?" ”
"Didn't they say you washed your hands?" I asked worriedly, "Are you meddling in the mess...... Nothing will happen, right? ”
"What can it be?" The old man lit a cigarette and smoked beautifully: "Even if Lao Tzu washes his hands, I will insert my hand in it now, who dares to say a word?" ”
I didn't squeak, I just felt that the old man was indeed willful enough.
"Besides, the rules are set by people, my rules are set by me, Lao Tzu should wash his hands and play, who has an opinion?"
At this moment, the old man changed his words and suddenly said to me seriously.
"Things in the line are not simple, people in the line are not simple, you have to have more eyes in the future, the rules that should be obeyed must be kept, the face that should be given must be given, but when it should be hard....... You've got to be tough! ”
The old man said, coughing a few times in a row, with some helplessness in his eyes.
"In the industry, other Dharma sects are fine, but most of the disciples of our Sect of Descending Techniques are vicious, so in our sect, sometimes it is much more complicated than the rivers and lakes and green forests......"
"Rivers and lakes and green forests?" I was a little surprised: "You mean this industry is darker than the underworld?" ”
"Isn't it!" The old man smiled: "Take me as an example, I am the highest banner in the art of descending, even if some people have no grudge against me, they still want to step on me and make a name for themselves through me." ”
"What's the benefit of being famous?" I looked curious.
"There's money." The old man sighed: "When I was young, the line was not so complicated, but by the end of the eighties, everything had changed ......."
The old man smiled, and there was a sense of frustration in his eyes that he had been abandoned by the times.
"Everything is about money, and the more famous you are, the more people will come to you for work, and the higher the price you can ask for."
At this, the old man slapped me on the shoulder and looked at me very seriously.
"I can't care about others, and I don't bother to care, but you are my grandson, you must listen to me."
"You say." I nodded.
"You haven't entered the industry yet, a lot of temptations haven't come out, whether it's money or power, it's something that can dazzle people, so you must remember ......" The old man said word by word: "Cultivate the Tao before cultivating the Fa, and you must cultivate your mind before cultivating the Dao, people who have a bad mind will die in the line sooner or later, and the word retribution is not a joke, understand?" ”
"Understood." I replied seriously: "I didn't learn these things for money, because I wasn't short of money at all, since I was a child, have you ever made me lack money?" ”
The old man thought about it and said, this is also true, since you are sensible, I will give you no less pocket money.
"It's good to have rich grandchildren." The old man smacked his lips: "But I still have to say ugly things in front, if one day you break the rules for money, I will kill my relatives in righteousness." ”
"Can we not worry about it?" I smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't even skimmed these eight characters yet!" When did you teach me spells? ”
"Are you in a hurry? Don't you see what time it is? The old man said helplessly: "But I can remind you that when you first start learning the art of descending, you have to be patient to learn, and it is the same as when you studied medicine, understand?" ”
"Yes." I nodded, and asked again: "Master, are there many children of our descending technique in China?" ”
"Not much." The old man shook his head: "Compared to several other Dafa sect people, we are simply a rare species. ”
"Then you say....... Is it easy to distinguish between our gentlemen who are descending arts? You can see it at a glance on the street, right? I frowned and asked, "I just feel that it's not easy to descend to the master, not to mention that I'm still your grandson, and my identity is different, so someone will want to step on me one day......."
"If you can't fight, just hide?" The old man asked me.
"Isn't it!" I laughed and said, "How much do you owe if you don't hide?" ”
"It's not productive." The old man gave me a blank look and said, "It's not impossible to see the identity of the descending master at a glance, but the premise is that you have to have experience and have dealt with other descending masters a lot, so that you can ......."
As he spoke, the old man paused for a moment and said, "Let me tell you a typical characteristic." ”
"Most of the cultivators are stained with resentment, their lips are purple and black, and there is an indescribable dead air in their eyes." The old man said to me seriously: "The Dharma lineage cultivated by the master with these characteristics is mostly Yin and Ghost Stream, and it is not easy to deal with anyway, so you should pay attention to yourself." ”
When the old man said this, his expression was also a little ugly, as if he was worried about me: "I burned that book in front of them today, which will definitely cause some people to hold a grudge against me, plus your appearance, I'm afraid some people have already targeted you......."
"And you're still burning?" I only felt a little helpless, and I was a little distressed, and looked at the old man sadly: "Master, you are really willing, no matter how you say it, it is also a spell that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is better to keep it than to burn it." ”
The old man shook the ash of his cigarette and looked at me with disgust, as if he was despising my IQ: "Criticism, do you really think I burned it?" ”
"Isn't it? I've seen you burn with my own eyes! I was stunned.
The old man asked me quietly, "Can't I just copy a copy and keep it?" ”
Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, that's fine, what a waste of burning.
"Do you want to learn?" The old man glanced at me.
"Not interested." I shook my head: "I don't want to be like Ma Laosan, you're right, male and female love is originally a natural thing, and it's not interesting to engage in these bells and whistles." ”
"To be honest, the stuff in that book is really amazing." The old man smiled bitterly: "Other spell descending spell sects, it's not that there is no such thing as harmony and surrender, but most of them have restrictions, either to damage the fortune of the spellcaster, or to exchange the life of the spell caster for mana......."
"But the spells in this book don't use, or rather, they can transfer those restrictions to the descended." The old man said in a low voice: "Think about it, if a person is killed, he has to put a pot on the back of the descending master, and he has to carry all the bad things, what else can this method be if it is not an evil law?" ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and nodded thoughtfully.
"You take these two books first, and read them for yourself if you have nothing to do." As he spoke, the old man walked to the counter, found two books, and threw them into my hand: "Your memory is better than mine, try to read it as soon as possible and memorize it as much as possible." ”
I hummed and looked down at the book in my hand.
These two books should be antiquities, at least they are also things around the Republic of China, and they are all manuscripts written with a brush.
One is called "The General Solution of the Flesh and Fetus", and the other is called "Fang Shengzhi".
