XXVIII. Red Blood Beads

twenty-eight

Originally, Xiu Ming came out to relax because he was in a bad mood because of Qiaoqiao, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing by accident, and he rescued a civet cat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Although he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, Xiu Ming couldn't see any trace of evil in the eyes of the black cat, so he still wanted to believe that it wasn't a bad cat.

Because of this disturbance, Xiu Ming's mood didn't seem to be as bad as just now. He looked at the coffins scattered around him and sighed. Turn around and walk in the direction of your town. He hadn't gone far when he faintly heard a voice behind him, and when he looked back, it was the tanuki who had taken his medicine bottle and was chasing after him. When the tanuki approached him, he realized that the tanuki had something in its mouth. Seeing Xiu Ming look back at him, the tanuki ran a few steps quickly to Xiu Ming, put a bead in his mouth in front of Xiu Ming's feet, and then turned around and ran away in the direction he came from.

Xiu Ming picked up this bead and looked at it carefully, it was a little larger than the black blood bead he carried, and the color was much brighter, and there was a hint of fragrance. Xiu Ming knew that this was a gift from the civet cat just now, and it should be to repay him for saving his life. He took off the chain around his neck, strung the bead with the small hole, hung it with the black blood bead, and put it back on.

When I got home, it was already dinnertime. Seeing that the apprentice came back and was not as depressed as he imagined, Lao Zhang was much more relieved. I didn't ask much, just told him to eat. After dinner, Xicheng and his two apprentices went out for a walk. Only Lao Zhang's master and apprentice were left at home.

Xiu Ming carefully reported to the master about the encounter with the civet cat today from beginning to end, and asked the master to help him distinguish whether what he did was right or wrong.

After listening to the apprentice's narration, Lao Zhang was also surprised. It is not uncommon for animals to have spirits, and he has seen both good and evil. But it is unheard of to go to such great lengths to deal with an animal that has grown into a sperm. Is there something hidden in this?

Xiu Ming took out the beads that the civet cat had given him and showed them to his master. Lao Zhang was even more surprised: "Red blood beads? This is what the cat gave you? Xiu Ming nodded. Lao Zhang took a breath of cold air, and looked at the bead carefully for a long time before nodding and saying, "It's true, it's the legendary red blood bead." When I was younger than you, I followed your ancestor to visit an old friend of his, and his old friend's grandson carried a red blood bead, exactly the same as this one, and the fragrance was exactly the same! Looking at the master's surprised expression, Xiu Ming didn't quite understand: "Master, what's the use of the red blood bead?" Is it precious? Lao Zhang raised his hand and slapped Xiuming's head: "What's the use?" You're a bear baby. The Red Blood Bead is a treasure wow, a precious treasure on the same level as your Black Blood Bead! You kid is blessed with a great life, and it is not easy for cultivators to see this kind of treasure, so you can get two of them yourself without any effort! ā€

Xiu Ming was a little confused. The black blood bead was given by a big witch in Miao Jiang when he was a child, and the red blood bead was given by a cat, how does it feel so weird. The master said that this is the treasure of a cultivator, and many people have a rare sight in their lives, but they have two of them so easily!?

Seeing the apprentice's ignorant appearance, Lao Zhang asked him to make a pot of tea, and then sat beside him and told him the origin of these two beads.

According to Lao Zhang's master, who is also the ancestor of Xiuming, the eight beads are the treasures that cultivators dream of. Because the eight kinds of beads are very rare, the owners regard them as treasures, and they refuse to show them easily, and they are afraid of attracting covetousness and causing trouble.

Among them, the black blood bead is the treasure of detoxification, no matter the poison of animals and plants, or even the poison of Gu insects, as long as people still have a breath, the black blood beads can unravel the poison and pull people back from the ghost gate. Therefore, having a black blood bead is equivalent to having a life talisman that is invincible. What cultivator doesn't want to have? As for the Red Blood Bead, it's even more amazing. It is rumored that there is a saying that black blood protects life and red blood continues life. Cultivators will inevitably come into contact with demons and ghosts, and when they encounter opponents who have cultivated deeds, the light ones will be injured and lose their skills and cultivation, and the heavy ones will not be able to save their lives, not to mention that even their souls will be detained, and they will be enslaved and difficult to enter reincarnation. And the red blood bead in the hand can protect the origin, and the opponent has great ability to hurt his life and detain his soul. I see! Xiu Ming suddenly realized: "Master, did you say that the civet cat was because it had a red blood bead to protect its body, so its opponent could neither kill it nor detain its soul to suppress it, so he came up with such a vicious method, nailed it to death by peach wood, so that it could not get out, buried the civet cat into the ground, and used the warp charm to suppress it, and trapped it in the formation, so that it could not escape forever." Because they knew that this practice was too cruel and was not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, they used the funeral method to confuse the Heavenly Dao, so that the Heavenly Dao thought that the civet was dead. However, is the Heavenly Dao so easy to deceive? ā€

Lao Zhang shook his head: "Judging from the secret of this person's poisonous thoughts, it is by no means an ordinary warlock, in addition to these methods that you see and think of, it must have other ways to confuse the heavens and achieve its own goals." Xiu Ming was surprised: There are still such people?

Lao Zhang nodded: "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and Taoism is not a pure land." There are those who use magic to deceive people and collect money, there are those who are ruthless, there are those who rob treasures and kill people, and even those who help to abuse and mutilate innocent people. Therefore, you must remember that no matter what happens in the future and what changes the world has had, your original intention and heart of cultivation are immutable, and one thought is the difference between heaven and hell, and you must not be confused by the evil way and go astray, then it will never be difficult to turn around! ā€

Lao Zhang rarely calls Xiuming's name seriously, usually a bear baby, and when he hears the master solemnly call his name, Xiuming knows the weight of the master's words.

So Xiu Ming also nodded solemnly and said to the master: "Master! Rest assured, I will never go down the wrong path. I will always follow Master and cultivate from the right path. My father told me before he died that my grandfather's generation was a famous family at that time, and the industry was prosperous, but he inadvertently offended an evil cultivator, and the god stick didn't know what means he used to cause the family to be ruined. In just one year, the huge family was full of bad luck, injuries and diseases, and finally they were destitute and died! So before his grandfather died, he confessed to let his descendants cultivate immortals and practice the Tao, and avenge the family!

Lao Zhang's head was raised: "It's good that you remember, as for revenge or not, so many years have passed since the incident, and the god stick that harmed your family may not still be alive." But since you have entered my sect, you must remember what the master told you today, and you must follow the right path in your life. Although the right path is hard and the material rewards are not rich, but the heart is calm, and the innocence stands between heaven and earth, which is the foundation of the pursuit of cultivators! ā€

"Master, don't worry, Xiu Ming must remember the master's teachings, and will never do anything that insults the master!!"
