Master heard my footsteps, looked up at me, and continued to study the rune in his hand. I couldn't help but say, "Master, you have to rest well now." ”

"Well, I'm not tired." The master responded, and said with some disappointment, "I have tried all kinds of tricks, steps, and spells, but there is no movement, I am afraid that I will not be able to unlock its secret with my ability, you can take the jade talisman with you, it will be good for you to practice." ”

I hurriedly said, "Master, you can stay and study slowly, and don't be in a hurry." ”

"I already remember that this rune is ripe, you still take it, and when you cultivate to a higher level, you can try to use the aura to sense, cough cough ......" The master handed me the jade rune, and kept coughing as he spoke.

I hesitated for a moment, but then asked, "Master, are there any spells that can cure your illness?" ”

The master immediately said, "I said I'm fine, I can't die for more than ten years, and I can't die now, you two should go back." ”

"You pass on my transfer charm to transfer money ringworm and tumors, so there should be other spells......

The master rarely gets angry and scolds, but at this time, he is furious and roars, "I said that I am fine, you want to curse me to death, don't you?" Get out, get out, ahem......"

I didn't dare to make him angry again, so I hurriedly retreated with Lin Mei, and I heard the master cough outside the door before continuing to walk out. When she arrived outside the gate, Lin Mei asked, "Master Weishenme is so angry?" ”

I was silent for a while before I said, "Master believes that a person's suffering and suffering are caused by the bad things he did in his previous life or when he was young, and that suffering is a punishment from God, a process of cleansing from sin, and if someone heals his illness, he has to bear the negative karma in his place, and he is afraid that his bad karma will fall on me, so he does not allow me to save him." ”

Lin Mei had never heard of such remarks, and after pondering for a while, she asked, "Is this true?" ”

"I don't know what to say." I smiled wryly and spread my hands, "Karma is a Buddhist saying, and the influence of Buddhism has been pervasive for thousands of years, and everyone has some belief in it, and there may be some truth." But I think it's probably an excuse for cowards to escape, or a monk's argument to paralyze the world. Some people have killed tens of millions, but Zuihou has become famous and become a great man; Some people are kind to others all their lives, but they are always trampled under the feet and cannot turn over, which proves the truth of the survival of the strong...... We are not monks, we should not hold such negative thoughts, we should strive to do better. ”

Lin Mei nodded repeatedly, and I continued: "It was the master who saved me with his life, otherwise I would still be lying in bed and unable to move even if I didn't die, everything I have now is given by him, so as long as there is a way to save him, I am willing to pay any price." But he never taught me how to save others if I hurt myself, and I didn't know what to do. ”

"Isn't Uncle Wu proficient in medical skills?"

I shook my head and sighed: "This is an old problem, Chinese medicine has to rely on slow recuperation, Master refuses to quit smoking and does not cooperate with treatment, it needs Western medicine to cure faster, but he refuses to go to a big hospital, mainly because he has no money......"

No money, no money I weishenme don't go to make money? I suddenly woke up like a fool, it was the Master who saved my life and taught me all the skills, how could I watch the Master suffer from illness and even die? Using the skills taught by the master to make money to treat the master's illness is a matter of course! It is not easy to make money in the countryside, so you have to go to the city to find some big businessmen and big bosses to solve problems for them in order to earn enough money for Master's medical treatment in the shortest possible time.

Lin Mei also agreed with my decision, and when she went home and told my mother, my mother also supported her, time does not wait for anyone, and illness does not wait for anyone, so I decided to leave tomorrow, and this matter will be hidden from my master. After a while, I went to the master again and said that I wanted to go into the city to "practice", and the master was not only unhindered but also very happy, it was better to read ten thousand books than to travel thousands of miles, and I had reached the time when I needed to go through the experience.

Before leaving, Master said to me earnestly, "As Onmyoji, we leak too many heavenly secrets, which will always affect ourselves or our descendants. My family can be inherited for seven generations, this is the ancestors accumulated virtue, but to the point that my generation has fallen to this point, it also proves that leaking the heavenly machine will not have a good result, which is inevitable, so I don't blame the heavens and the earth, ghosts and gods, I don't blame the country, and I don't hate the people who oppress me. Don't worry about my illness, it's useless to worry, just go with confidence, remember Master's words, leave some room for everything, do more good deeds and accumulate virtues, and less bear cause and effect for others, and only then can ......you take action with full confidence."

Master has always been very verbose, and this time he talked a lot, and almost all of them were said more than once before, but this time I didn't feel that he was verbose, but a little sad, and I felt like he was giving me his last words.

I left the next morning, and the task of taking care of Master was handed over to Lin Mei, helping Master with cooking, decocting medicine, washing clothes, and so on. Although I was a little reluctant to part with her, now was not the time for children to grow up, and besides, I would not be away for too long, and when I got to the city to earn money, I would buy a mobile phone or pager, and she could use the village public phone to contact me.

I took the treasure map and the kun hexagram jade talisman with me, and I was afraid that leaving these two things at home might bring disaster to my family.

At first, I was going to go to Wenzhou, where there were many rich bosses, but Lao Lin suggested that I go to Fuzhou, his hometown is in Fuzhou, and there are a few relatives and friends, and it is better to have acquaintances than complete strangers. Eventually, I accepted Lin's suggestion and got a contact list from him.

I took a long-distance bus to Nanping, just in time to catch the "Wuyi Express", which was the fastest and most haode air-conditioned train in Fujian at that time, directly to Fuzhou. Anyway, the train ticket is not expensive, let's be a local tyrant too.

I wasn't at peace along the way, I was not very proficient in the things I learned, I lacked practical experience, and Xiaoxue didn't react and couldn't help me, I was worried that I wouldn't make a lot of money. I only had a total of more than 500 yuan with me, and I spent a lot of money in the city, and if I didn't make any money, I might even have a problem living on my own.

Arrived at Fuzhou Railway Station at about four o'clock in the afternoon, and immediately after stepping out of the carriage, a heat wave rushed to the face, like a live shrimp falling into boiling water. I really didn't expect Fuzhou to be so hot, not only hot but also stuffy, making people feel breathless, and the hot feeling on the surface of the body is not easy to offset even yin and yang.

I didn't use the contact number and address given to me by Lao Lin, men should be self-reliant, I want to rely on my own skills to break out of the world, how can I be cheeky to find someone as soon as I go out? As the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, Lao Lin is no longer here, who still treats him as a matter, besides, I am just Lao Lin's apprentice, and I definitely don't have a good face to look at when I come to the door.

I bought a map of the city at the exit and looked for my destination. Lao Lin said that the last time he went home, he saw a lot of fortune tellers at the gate of Xichan Temple. People encounter incurable diseases, will go to the temple to worship the Buddha and burn incense, so the temple is easy to form a fortune-telling market near the temple, Fuzhou at that time the most famous two large Zen temples, one is Yongquan Temple, on the drum mountain outside the city, the other is the Xichan Temple, in the west of the city.

I don't want to be a fortune teller on the street, it's too slow to make money, but it's still necessary to take a walk, it's okay to understand the dynamics of the industry, maybe you can really meet a big boss who goes to worship the Buddha and ask for a signature.

The train station is the throat and weather vane of a city, you can see the order and spirit of the city, I walked around the train station before I went to take the bus, and when I arrived at Xichan Temple, it was almost dark. The Xichan Temple has been closed, and only a few stalls outside the door are still looking around and greeting me: "Sir, do you want to tell fortunes?" "This classmate, I don't think you've had a lot of luck lately!"

I think it's funny, you can't even see that I'm a peer, what else do you look like? I didn't sense any aura fluctuations on them, they were all ordinary people.

This street is called Industrial Road, which used to be state-owned enterprises, and now there are many dilapidated factories, except for Xichan Temple and Fuzhou University, which is next to it, there are no decent buildings, and it is very depressed. There are no fortune tellers here, and there is no "night market", and most of the people are closed at this time, and there are no customers.

Look at the dark down, I have to find a place to spend the night first, I can't afford a big hotel, this is the edge of the city, it shouldn't be too expensive to find a small hotel. I walked south along the main street, and all the way I saw it was very dilapidated and cold, because Fuzhou is very close to Taiwan, and cross-strait relations have been very tense in recent years, so Fuzhou has almost stagnated and has not developed, and it is the most backward of the coastal provincial capitals.

After walking for about 1,000 meters, I saw a sign saying "accommodation" hanging at the entrance of a small alley, so I turned in. After walking along the narrow alley for more than 100 meters, I saw a four-story house with the word "hotel" hanging in front of it, and there was a grocery store on the first floor, and a pair of young men and women were chatting across the counter, the woman was in the store and the man was outside the store.

I think that man has a special aura or temperament, so I deliberately looked at him more. The man was not yet thirty years old, and was quite handsome, elegant and reserved, and his clothes were ordinary but decent, and he was clearly a well-educated man. He had a camera with a long lens hanging from his chest, and while I don't know how much it was worth, it was definitely not something that the average person could afford.

The man noticed me too, smiled at me kindly and nodded.

"Do you want to stay at the hotel?" The girl at the counter turned her head to me and asked, she looked like a student, with beautiful big eyes, a delicate nose like a knife, and a sweet smile as bright as the early spring sun.

I asked, "Is it your inn?" ”

The girl said quickly in a crisp voice: "Yes, upstairs is the guest room, fifty yuan a night, all single rooms, absolutely clean, you are satisfied!" ”

It costs fifty in such a remote place, and I smiled and said, "Can I get a discount, if the price is reasonable, I will stay for a few more days." ”

"Ah, I'm going to ask my mom about this. Mom, there's a guest staying at the hotel! ”

Someone inside answered, and the handsome guy standing outside the counter said to the girl, "You are busy, I won't disturb you, I'll go back to the room." ”

The girl seemed a little reluctant: "It's okay, I'll come down and chat when I'm free." ”

The handsome guy answered, nodded goodbye very elegantly, turned around and left, and went upstairs from the stairs next to him.
