Chapter 075: Building a Bridge
It is also strange to say, according to this method, the old man who was about to breathe was much quieter at that time, not crying, not making trouble, not tossing, until noon the next day, several pairs of children rushed to the bed, and the old man was red and had no intention of passing.
Everyone couldn't figure out whether it was Jin Jiuye's father's method that worked, or if they encountered a happy coincidence, anyway, seeing them like this, those kind mountain people were very happy.
After explaining the afterlife, a few members of the family inevitably cried bitterly, and the sensible person wrapped a few red envelopes for the five children who were tired for a day and a night as a reward, and after thanking them for a thousand thanks, they were sent away.
But as soon as the children received the red envelopes and went out, the old man who was holding the eldest son's hand and talking something immediately lost his breath.
Jiu Ye said that at that time, the method that his father taught them was to renew the old man's life, and it couldn't last too long, to put it bluntly, this was an expedient measure that was forced to be helpless.
And the way to borrow longevity is different from this.
Generally speaking, there is no direct cost to the method of continuing life, and in comparison, "borrowing life" is a bit more than worth the loss.
In the folk, borrowing longevity is also called "building bridges", which is a way to pass on one's own longevity to others.
This method is not easy to come by, and the price to pay to save a person is also very large, from past experience, if you want to lend someone a year of yang life, you have to pay at least two years or more.
Therefore, as a last resort, even a ** master with high mana power is not willing to use this method lightly.
Of course, there is another reason here, Renyun, "those who obey the destiny of heaven, are sad." Those who resist the destiny of heaven die. ā
But anyone who divulges the secret of heaven and disobeys the mandate of heaven is destined to be punished by heaven, and it is precisely because of this that there is a general saying of "five evils and three deficiencies" in Maoshan Taoist.
The so-called five evils, refers to widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, disability, five kinds of fate, three lack refers to lack of money, less relatives, short life three kinds of misfortune, as the so-called, a door into the door as deep as the sea, from then on happiness is a passerby.
Of course, what we are talking about here is also those Maoshan Taoist priests who have entered the world to save people, like those Quanzhen disciples who have escaped into the deep mountains to concentrate on the Dan Dao, they don't have to worry about such a problem.
Knowing this, I know that the ninth master is actually exchanging his life for money, so no matter how strong my interest and I are in his Divine Passage Method, this old guy will show an indifferent look, not because he has a big shelf, but because he doesn't want us to embark on such a road of no return like him.
"After fifty, I will wash my hands in a golden basin, and when the time comes, don't bother me with whatever you like." When it's okay, the ninth master always talks about it, and we're all used to it.
"Eh, Ninth Master, just now you said a way to continue your life, then, what should you do if you want to lend your life to others?"
Xiaopang has always been a philistine character who can't afford to make a profit, and after listening to the words of the ninth master, he became interested in this method of borrowing longevity.
"This is not necessarily, each genre has several special methods, it is more difficult to borrow longevity, unless your Taoism is particularly deep, otherwise whether you can lend it depends on luck." As he spoke, he pinched his fingers and gestured, "You know the chopsticks, you can use that." ā
"What?" As soon as the sentence came out, I was puzzled, and the ninth master smiled when he saw this, "Do you know why we don't use other people's chopsticks when we do our work?" The reason is here, when you use a chopstick, the chopsticks will leave your things on it, no matter how you wash it, you can't wipe it, until the person dies, this situation will not change. ā
"So, what does this have to do with borrowing longevity?" Still didn't understand what he meant, I asked.
"It has a relationship, of course it has a relationship, the method I told you uses is a little trace on the chopsticks. When it's okay, you can try, first, you put a wine glass full of liquor or two in front of the person who is going to die, and then, use two chopsticks that person usually uses to place on the edge of the glass, and the two chopsticks are placed together to form a triangle. If the chopsticks stand in the cup and never fall, then the matter is done. You'll lose two years, and he'll have about a year to prepare. ā
"Damn, this is too difficult," thinking about the method he said, I think the success rate of this thing is a little too low.
"If it's not difficult, wouldn't everyone use it." When the ninth master heard this, he smiled.
"Wait, wait, the chopsticks are up, which means that the borrowing is successful, then, what if they fall?" Quietly slowing down, Chubby asked.
"Then, this method will not work, a person only has one chance." The Ninth Master said, closed his eyes in contemplation, and then said, "As far as I know, those who can use similar methods are insiders, and if you don't understand, don't try it lightly, if you accidentally cause trouble, you can't afford to send it." ā
"So, is that the one you're talking about? Just the cactus one. Thinking about the words of the Ninth Master, I said.
"No, borrowing longevity can only be carried out between people, I haven't heard of anyone who can borrow longevity from cacti, he uses that method, it should be similar to my father's method, to continue his life."
"In that case, how did the old man of the Zhao family live to be over ninety years old? I have lived for so long in one breath, doesn't it mean that this ghost door bolt has delayed the little ghost who hooked the soul for many years" Speaking of this, a feeling of good courage arises spontaneously, if my hypothesis is true, the cactus before it becomes a fine can be regarded as awesome to the sky, where else is it What kind of plant is it, it is simply a living crystal coffin that can permanently seal the living!
In the past, it was said that there was the night pearl that could keep the corpse from rotting, and the gloomy wood that could make the dead people look good, and at that time I thought those things were really amazing, but now compared to the green tropical plants covered in thorns, these things are simply weak!
O living fountain of youth!
"Pull it down, it's not that good."
Just when I was excited, Jiu Ye mercilessly poured a basin of cold water on me, "Judging from past experience, it is a skill to live for one more year, where did it take so long, if it wasn't for his longevity, it was another method." ā
"For example"
Hearing this, Chubby's excited face turned red.
"Shhh
The ninth master said, stretched out his fingers and made a silent movement, very pretending to be forced and annoying.
"I'm cĒo!"
Hearing this, Xiaopang squinted his eyes and was quite speechless, and the words were withdrawn to his mouth, which was really disappointing
