Chapter 25: A Strange Book

But "Zhang Daring" is "Zhang Daring" after all, ordinary people would have been paralyzed or fainted in such a terrifying situation, but Zhang Butcher's grandfather, after being startled, was able to stabilize his mind, raised the watermelon knife in his hand, and slashed at the monster.

But the monster was quicker than him, and before his knife fell, he felt that his chest was hit by the monster, and then he was so paralyzed that he didn't even have the strength to breathe, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Butcher's grandfather slowly woke up, it should be dawn, but because it was still raining heavily, the light was still very dark. He only felt a slight pain in his head, lay on the ground, tried to move his limbs, felt that it was still normal, he tried to remember the one that happened during the night, thinking that it might just be a terrible nightmare. He sat up from the floor with difficulty, and was about to climb to the bed next to him, when he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be on the bed, and when he looked closely, it was three books. Zhang Tuhu's grandfather has been in private school for several years, and he is very smart, so general reading, writing and writing are not a problem.

He picked up these three books, there was a strong musty smell, and carefully looked at the title of the book "Sword and Guts Sutra", he flipped through the first two, and the handwriting was very clear, but only the third book was sealed with a thread and could not be opened. He hurriedly carried the three books in his arms, braved the pouring rain, and went home.

For the next five or six days, Butcher Zhang's grandfather barely came out of the house, and he was fascinated by the fact that he was looking through two of the three books. And it was these two books that also completely changed his fate.

The content in the book is amazing! All his wisdom and energy seemed to be fully stimulated by these two books. The previously chaotic and complex world has suddenly become so clear and simple.

"These three books must have been brought by that monster, why did it give me these three books, what the hell is it"? These questions have been lingering in the heart of Grandpa Zhang's butcher. And those who can answer this question may be a person who is the blind man who tells his fortune and seems to have the body of a half-immortal.

He took these three books with him and made a long journey to visit the blind man.

After calmly listening to Grandpa Zhang's description, the blind man lowered his head, as if thoughtful. After a long while, he said expressionlessly: "Do you know who the monster you met in the melon shed is?" ”

Butcher Zhang's grandfather said eagerly, but very respectfully, "I don't know, this is exactly what I want to ask your old man."

The blind man raised his face and said thoughtfully, "He is the Buddha without a face."

"Faceless Buddha?" Butcher Zhang's grandfather looked confused.

The blind man explained: "Yes, it is a faceless Buddha, and there is an ancestor in every industry, for example, the ancestor of the carpenter is Lu Ban, and the ancestor of singing is Tang Minghuang, this faceless Buddha is also the ancestor of an industry." ”

"What industry?" Butcher Zhang's grandfather asked eagerly.

The blind man still looked up and said leisurely, "Executioner; This faceless Buddha is the ancestor of the executioners. ”

"Is there any reason for this?" Grandpa Zhang's butcher is still very confused.

The blind man did not rush to answer Grandpa Zhang's butcher's words, but pointed to a rabbit cage next to him and asked Grandpa Zhang's butcher: "Do you think the faces of those rabbits look the same?" ”

"Of course it's the same, it's all rabbits" Zhang Butcher's grandfather, the second monk who was a little asked was confused.

The blind man asked again, "Do you think we look the same?" ”

"Of course it's different," Zhang Butcher's grandfather muttered, and under the blind man's successive questions, he seemed to think of something. The blind man did not rush to explain, he knew that "the drum does not need a heavy hammer", and it is enough to point to the smart people, and there is no need to say too much. Zhang Butcher's grandfather really slowly seemed to realize something.

Yes, the two rabbits definitely don't look the same, but people are not sensitive to the appearance of rabbits, so they can't see the difference. But people are very sensitive to people's appearance, and as long as there are subtle differences, they can be recognized.

The blind man looked at the contemplative grandfather of the butcher, as if he knew what he was thinking, and then said: "The biggest taboo of the executioner is to remember the appearance and expression of the beheaded person, as long as the appearance of the beheaded person enters the heart of the executioner, the executioner will be injured by the yin qi, and the clearer the face of the murderer, the more the yin qi will be injured." So experienced executioners, who like to cut people from behind, and try not to look at the face of the person who was killed. If a person is killed, then this person's face, within half an hour before and after his death, the yin qi is at its highest, and at this moment, absolutely avoid looking at his face, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Why did the executioners make offerings to the Faceless Buddha as their ancestors? It is hoped that the Buddha without a face can bless them, blur the differences between all faces, and make them feel numb to the appearance of the prisoners. In this way, when they are attacked by the Yin Qi, they will be greatly weakened."

Before leaving, the blind man solemnly said to Zhang Tuhu's grandfather: "Your qualifications and endowments are very qualified to be an executioner, which is also the reason why the faceless Buddha personally accepted your book, but to give you these three books, but because of other opportunities, you will know in the future, but the third book, you must not be in a hurry to open it and read it, otherwise there will be great difficulties." After more than ten years, you will meet someone who is extremely difficult to kill, and then you will be able to read the third volume. ”

And more than ten years later, when killing this bandit who knows how to do evil magic, the third volume will be useful. Zhang Butcher's grandfather, when he unsealed the seal on the third volume, his hands couldn't help but tremble a little excitedly.

When he opened the book in the dim light, he trembled, how he hoped that he could quickly find the secret of surprising victory from the book, so that he could easily overcome the life-and-death problem in front of him. But to his shock, there was not a word in the book, he couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed it vigorously, and pulled the wick, and then looked closely, yes, there was indeed not a word.

For more than ten years, I have imagined how wonderful and mysterious the content of this book will be, but at this moment, it seems that all hopes have been dashed, this is a wordless book!

Zhang Butcher's grandfather was depressed on the chair, but in the open pages, there was a strange smell, the previous two books, opened with a musty smell, but this one is not. The smell was neither fragrant nor stinky, it was an indescribable smell that he had never smelled before, and in this smell, his consciousness slowly blurred.
