[064] Take one and keep one
Mo Yan was shocked in his heart.
If these two jade pendants were just ordinary talismans, he might not have been so shocked.
Although this world has entered the era of the end of the law, no matter what era it is, it always opens slowly, and it cannot be achieved overnight. Take the era of Zuo Daoren as an example, the aura between heaven and earth is far stronger than now, and every hundred years, there are always one or two peerless demons who open up the sea of suffering. However, with the gradual depletion of the aura, there are fewer and fewer such people, and in modern times, they have basically disappeared. At the same time, because of the depletion of aura, opening up the sea of bitterness is already the extreme, and wanting the golden lotus to bloom is tantamount to a fool's dream.
And after opening up the sea of suffering, even if there is no golden lotus, it can condense a wisp of true qi. Although it is not much, after having this wisp of true qi, it can refine some simple talismans. For example, the talisman that Mo Yan planned to refine was one of them.
According to Mo Yan's estimates, for thousands of years, some of these talismans will definitely be handed down, more or less, which is really not surprising.
But these two talismans are an exception.
First of all, the value of these two talismans is far higher than that of ordinary talismans, and secondly, its appearance verifies the derivation of ancient Chinese history by the Zuo Dao people.
In the "Record of the Left Dao of the End of the Law", these two fish-shaped jade pendants are called 'Guben Peiyuan Fu', also known as 'Health Talisman', and the names are easy to understand, without any pretenses. As the name suggests, its specific effect is to strengthen the foundation and maintain health. In fact, this kind of jade talisman had no effect on true cultivators like Mo Yan and Zuo Daoren, who were suffering from the sea and giving birth to golden lotus. But for mortals, it is a treasure against the sky that prolongs life. Possessing one of these jade talismans can 'increase' your lifespan by at least ten years. Of course, this so-called 'increase' is actually the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, not the real longevity. It's like a machine, the theoretical lifespan is 20 years, but in practice, improper operation or external collisions will reflect its lifespan. And this health charm is like a protective layer and a good quality lubricating oil, which can effectively protect the machine and make it achieve a theoretical life.
At the same time, it also has the effects of rejuvenating the skin, dredging the blood veins, nourishing the face, etc., which is absolutely invaluable for ordinary people.
In the era of Zuo Daoren, this kind of jade talisman was also rare, not because of how harsh its refining conditions were, but because after it was refined, it would take decades to cultivate the talisman. The so-called talisman is that after the refining is successful, it is placed in a place with strong aura, so that it can gradually absorb the aura between heaven and earth. Only when the aura in the jade talisman reaches an extreme value, can it exert its effect and feed back to the wearer. However, the aura of heaven and earth in Zuo Daoren's era was no longer enough to raise a good jade talisman in a short period of time. According to the estimation of the leftists, it will take at least a thousand years of accumulation before it can be of great use. Therefore, in the era of Zuo Daoren, this kind of health talisman was almost extinct, and even if there were one or two in existence, most of them were handed down from ancient times.
In view of this, the Zuo Dao people sighed in the "Record of the Left Dao of the End of the Law" that the history in the book is only 2,000 years, but there is such a thing, which can be traced back at least another 5,000 years!
"The Zuo Dao people should be people before the Spring and Autumn Period, thousands of years ago, and if you go back 5,000 years, wouldn't it mean that ancient China has a history of almost 10,000 years? Maybe even more than ......"
Looking at the two fish-shaped jade pendants, Mo Yan felt inexplicable in his heart.
To be honest, he may not believe all the words of the leftists, such as this extra 5,000-year-old theory, he just listens to it. But when I saw these two talismans at this time, I no longer had any doubts in my heart, only reverence for history......
I don't know which era these two jade talismans were refined by the monks, but according to Mo Yan's calculations, they have gone through thousands of years, at least. And after these thousands of years of absorption, the aura in the jade talisman has long been abundant, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a spirit talisman at this time.
The so-called spiritual objects are self-obscure, these two jade talismans with natural charm are secretly in line with the way of heaven, in these thousands of years, self-obscure, just waiting for those who have insight to restart the aura!
In fact, although the efficacy of these two jade talismans is magical, for Mo Yan, they actually don't have much effect, and they are used for reference at most.
However, for the eighty-year-old grandfather and the Mo family, the value of this thing is immeasurable.
Old man Mo is the banner of the Mo family, if he does not fall for a day, the foundation of the Mo family will be more and more consolidated, and he will live for ten more years, and when the latecomers take over his banner, the Mo family will really become a towering tree in this land.
Mo Yan didn't care if the Mo family could become a towering tree, since he was five years old, he never thought of using this shade to be a blessing.
He just thinks that as a junior, since he can't be pure filial piety, he should try to compensate for foreign things.
Therefore, he planned to buy these two jade pendants as a birthday gift for Old Man Mo.
In addition, as a cultivator, he is very aware of the principle that 'if you don't take it, you will be blamed for it', which is also a kind of cause and effect, and you can't take it.
After Lin Qiu made an identification, the two fish-shaped jade pendants were casually thrown aside by Zhang Xiaomeng.
Mo Yan smiled at Zhang Xiaomeng and said, "Miss Zhang, I like the simplicity contained in these two jade pendants, I don't know if you are willing to cut your love." ”
Lin Qiu and Huang Liuxia didn't think much about it when they heard him say this.
Lin Qiu even smiled and said: "It's good to keep this pair of jade pendants to play, Mo Yan is right, although this pair of jade pendants is not in good condition, it still has some quaint meaning." ”
Zhang Xiaomeng had a bold personality, handed the jade pendant to Mo Yan, and said with a smile: "Since you like it, it's yours." ”
Mo Yan smiled: "Miss Zhang, let's make a price." ”
Zhang Xiaomeng was a little displeased, and said: "What is the price, it's not a valuable thing, just take it if you like it." ”
When she said this, Mo Yan hesitated.
If it was worthless, he accepted it honestly and unceremoniously.
But on the contrary, in a sense, it's priceless. If he accepts it at no cost, it will be tantamount to taking over the next great cause and effect. He can deceive Zhang Xiaomeng and Lin Qiu, but he can't deceive the cause and effect in the dark. It's not that this cause and effect will inevitably lead to any disaster, but in the future, it may become a key point in the mind at some point.
He specialized in cultivating the path of the divine soul, so naturally he didn't want to see such a pass.
In fact, he was going to buy these two jade pendants for 100,000 yuan.
As mentioned earlier, these two jade talismans are priceless to ordinary people, and buying them for 100,000 yuan is also bullying. However, in essence, this thing is useless to Mo Yan, and if he bought it for 100,000 yuan, he has no guilt in his heart, and there is no cause and effect. Even if there is, it is only external cause and effect, and has nothing to do with the state of mind.
However, it seems that there is still something wrong with this approach.
The few people present are not stupid, you spend 100,000 yuan to buy a pair of 'worthless' jade pendants for no reason, they will naturally suspect that there is something wrong with this. What's more, people originally planned to give it to you, and if you don't accept it, forget it, but you have to spend a lot of money to buy it. Even if you are a fool, you know that there is something strange in it.
In this way, receiving the gift will sow cause and effect. If you don't accept it, you will be unwilling. If you spend money on it, it will attract suspicion.
For a while, Mo Yan was in a dilemma.
"Hey, do you want it, I rarely give things away......"
Zhang Xiaomeng saw that he didn't speak, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, this person is really interesting, just a pair of worthless jade pendants, are you still afraid of owing me favors?
This girl's personality was a little naughty, and seeing Mo Yan's hesitation, she thought that he was unwilling to owe favors, so she became more and more stubborn in giving away this pair of jade pendants.
Mo Yan looked at the slightly rough skin on Zhang Xiaomeng's face, as well as the two small pimples that probably grew out of staying up late, and couldn't help but smile, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.
"Taking both of them is somewhat greedy, and one for each person is the right way. This girl looks okay, but her skin is not very good, which is just right for this talisman. Forget it, these two gadgets are because of her, and the most appropriate way is to take one and keep the other, without losing or making a profit. If you don't want to leave cause and effect, you can only send her this blessing......"
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "Miss Zhang, do you know, I originally planned to pay 100,000 yuan to buy these two jade pendants. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaomeng couldn't help but be stunned.
Lin Qiu and Huang Liuxia were also surprised, Lin Qiu even thought that he had missed his eyes, took the two jade pendants from Zhang Xiaomeng's hands, and re-examined them......
In addition to Mo Yan, the people present are either rich or expensive, and even Huang Liuxia is also a person with a net worth of tens of millions. 100,000 yuan was not a big amount to them, and it was not enough to surprise them.
What really made them curious was why Mo Yan was willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy these two seemingly worthless jade pendants, and it was when Zhang Xiaomeng planned to give them to him!
"There's something wrong with you, is this thing worth 100,000 yuan?" Zhang Xiaomeng looked at Mo Yan as if he was looking at an alien, and said, "Besides, whether it's worth it or not, I've already sent it to you, you just make a fortune in a muffled voice, why do you still say it?" ”
Mo Yan said with a smile: "I also want to make a fortune in a muffled voice, but this thing is so precious, if I really accept it with a cheeky face, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep safely in the future." ”
Lin Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Mo Yan, is this thing really precious?" Why can't I see it? ”
Huang Liuxia also said: "Didn't you say that you don't know anything about jade?" I said, you can't be dazzled, right? ”
Mo Yan smiled: "I really don't know anything about jade, but it's not absolute. For example, this pair of fish-shaped jade pendants, I know a little bit about its origin. ”
Lin Qiu suddenly came to his senses, handed him the jade pendant, and said, "Come, come, please advise." ”
