Chapter 294: The Power of Faith
The nanny's car is very spacious, knowing that Nan Xian sometimes gets motion sickness, Ding He thoughtfully put a mint-flavored fragrance in the car, which is both refreshing and soothing.
Hearing Diao Yu's sudden words, Nan Xian reflexively sniffed herself, "Who?" I only smelled mint. β
"It's the old thief who cursed me so that I couldn't turn back into real person...... He hid his scent well, but I had lived under the same roof with him for nearly a thousand years, and I knew his scent all too well! Diao Yu's face changed and changed, he tried to suppress the mania in his heart, and pointed to her coat pocket, "It's in there." β
Nan Xian was stunned for a moment - this coat was put on by Ding He after the recording, and there was nothing in his pocket, except for the peace charm that Sheng Zhicheng gave him before.
Her face changed, and she quickly pulled it out.
After seeing what it was, Diao Yu's tense face relaxed slightly, and his expression eased again.
Nan Xian recounted the conversation between herself and Sheng Zhicheng, and then asked nervously, "Is there anything wrong with this peace charm?" β
Diao Yu shook his head and nodded, looking at the small bag in her hand, his expression was very complicated: "This is indeed a peace charm that can drive away evil spirits and dispel filth, especially for people who are born with light characters and a yin physique, it is beneficial and harmless." However, the old thief also added a spell to it, which would absorb the mental power of the person wearing the charm. β
"Telekinesis?" Nan Xian was puzzled.
For example, every time a person who believes in Buddhism recites a Buddha name, he will add a power of faith to the gods and Buddhas he recites in his heart, and the more devout his heart, the stronger the power of faith. And when this power accumulates to a certain extent, the gods and Buddhas will be able to perceive him. β
Nan Xian thought thoughtfully: "Then what you said about 'absorbing mental power', is it possibleββ? Her eyes widened as she thought of a possibility.
Diao Yu understood her expression, and nodded helplessly: "Yes, it's actually stealing." The old thief transferred all the power of faith generated by the person who wore the charm to himself, adding merit to himself. β
"It's despicable!" Nan Xian immediately slapped the table and chair, and was angry, "It's not him who people ask for and want to thank, he actually uses such an indecent technique to secretly take other people's things for himself, it's really hateful!" β
Seeing that she was so excited, Diao Yu opened her mouth in a daze, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?"
He blinked, a little hesitant.
Nan Xian raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter, it's okay for you to say it directly." β
"Uh...... Actually, this spell was originally one of your natal spells......"
Nan Xian was dumbfounded, raised her hand and pointed at herself: "What? I?! β
Nan Xian: The despicable villain is actually myself???
"Don't worry, listen to my explanation."
Diao Yu pulled down her hand and said: "When the human world first opened, Heavenly Dao found twelve guardian spirits in the human world, and asked them to guard all parties in China to maintain the stability of the human world. These guardian spirits are all ordinary creatures, so they have different personalities, some are strong and domineering, some are gentle and introverted, some are stubborn and strict, some are flexible and unrestrained, some are good at showing themselves to get attention, and some prefer to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests without asking about the world.
My lord, the land you protect is the widest, and the spiritual power consumed the most, but because you live in seclusion all year round, you rarely appear in the human world, and as time goes by, those who know your existence die, and their descendants gradually only remember the guardian spirits like Suzaku and White Tiger who are good at showing off, and they will only think of them when they have something in their hearts.
As a guardian spirit, you can't just rely on absorbing the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate, the mental power of the world is what you need most. Your strength is constantly being consumed, but you can't be replenished, at first you can bear it, but the sky is unpredictable, a natural disaster has struck, the land you are guarding has countless dead and wounded, in order to save them, you have almost exhausted all your cultivation.
But before everything completely subsided, some demon clans and demon clans joined forces, wanting to take the opportunity to take the territory of the human world as their own, and the human world was in turmoil again.
You were so weak that you were about to fall into a deep sleep, and in desperation, you had to absorb all the people's mental power into your body and restore your strength, so that you could expel all those demons with bad intentions. β
Nan Xian covered her chest, and when she heard this story just now, her heart suddenly contracted hard, and there was a faint burning from the depths of her dantian.
Diao Yu continued: "Although this spell is against the way of heaven, you did not create it for your own selfish desires, but to save the dawn of life, which is understandable, so the way of heaven also turned a blind eye to it and did not punish you. Later, you learned that you were about to usher in a love disaster, and you were worried that if you couldn't survive it, the demons who didn't change their hearts would take the opportunity to invade the human world again, so you passed on all your experience and magic weapons to us. I got your Nine Heavens Fox Fire, and the old thief is your great apprentice, so you passed this spell on to him.
Your intentions are excellent, and I hope that he will make good use of this spell for the benefit of the people, but at that time we were all deceived by him, and we did not know that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing...... After all these years, he has not only betrayed your trust, but also turned your hard work into a tool for his own benefit. β
Nan Xian frowned deeply and sighed lightly, "Obviously they are all apprentices handed over by me, why is there such a big difference?" β
Diao Yu nodded like pounding garlic: "But isn't it!" That old thief can pretend, the appearance is inconsistent, and the heart of a man and a beast! Unlike me, I am loyal to you, and I have never had two hearts! β
Looking at his dog-legged appearance, Nan Xian couldn't cry or laugh, "By the way, didn't you say that I have three apprentices, and I haven't heard you mention one of them, how is she now?" β
"You mean Wu Rao?" Diao Yu's eyes flashed, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed gently, "She was received by you not long before the tribulation, I don't have much contact with her, and I don't know her." After your soul shattered and dispersed into the world, she left the White Fallen Cliff, and I don't know her whereabouts. β
Hearing this answer, Nan Xian couldn't help but be a little disappointed, "That's ......"
At this time, the nanny's car door was opened, and Ding He probed in, "Sister, the doctor is hereβhey, Teacher Yu, Teacher Yu Lin?" β
Diao Yu glanced at her, then glanced at Nan Xian, and said in a low voice, "I'll look for you later." β
He got out of the car, Ding He came up with the doctor, and the doctor helped Nan Xian carefully examine her head, and naturally no injuries could be found at this time.
Ding He looked surprised and wondered, "But I obviously saw a big swollen bag with my own eyes just now!" β
Nan Xian said: "Maybe the light in the car is dark, right?" And I'm not in pain anymore, you see, it's completely fine! β
Ding He scratched the back of his head suspiciously, "Is it ......?"
The doctor put away the tools and advised: "There is nothing wrong with your head from the outside, but since it hit your head, you still need to pay more attention, if you have drowsiness, want to vomit or have a headache later, you must contact me immediately." β
"Okay doctor, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing off the doctor, the two went back to the room in the hotel, and seeing that Ding He still looked confused and worried, Nan Xian sneered, raised her hand and rubbed her head.
"Okay, I'm really fine, don't worry! Look at you, you've been following me every day lately, and you've lost a lot of weight...... Didn't you say you planned to travel with your friends, but you couldn't find the time? In this way, I will give you a week of paid vacation, and you can rest well next week and go on a trip to relax! β
Ding He's eyes lit up subconsciously, and he immediately thought of something, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, sister, there is no shortage of people around you now." β
Nan Xian smiled, "It's okay, I can borrow a temporary assistant from the company first." β
Seeing that Ding He was going to say something more, she deliberately made a look of anger and said angrily: "Am I the boss or are you the boss?" Don't listen to me? β
"You are, you are! I listen to my sister! Ding He stuck out his tongue and said happily: "Then-sister, I'll go back to the room first?" β
Nan Xian waved her hand: "Go, go, go, I'm too sleepy, I have to sleep quickly." β
Waiting for Ding He to leave, Nan Xian's smile gradually closed.
The sudden silence of the environment made her feel empty in her heart, and the terrible scenes she had experienced in her dreams uncontrollably appeared in her mind, and she felt a chill down her spine.
She snapped, swept her eyes to the suitcase lying in the corner, and decided what she could do to keep herself busy and stop thinking about the bad things.
She has a lot of things in her suitcase, and Ding He has prepared a few storage bags for her, which can separate different kinds of things, which is also easier to find.
One of the storage bags contained common medicines, and when Nan Xian picked it up, a small bottle rolled out, and she picked it up, with the words "melatonin" written on it.
Artists are under a lot of pressure, and they often turn day and night upside down, and it is common to stay up late for a scene, so most of them don't sleep well, and Nan Xian occasionally needs to rely on this to get a good night's sleep.
She unscrewed the cap of the bottle and was about to pour one out, when she suddenly remembered something, her face changed slightly, and her right hand moved down and gently covered her lower abdomen.
Her lower abdomen was still flat, and no one would have thought that a small life was being born inside.
...... I was pregnant.
And conceived in a way that science can't explain.
Nan Xian pinched her eyebrows in distress and stuffed the medicine bottle back into her suitcase.
It's annoying...... Before a matter could be solved, a new problem arose, as if there was a force in the darkness that was eagerly pushing her forward, not allowing her to hesitate for half a step.
She threw herself on the bed helplessly, looked at the ceiling, and sighed deeply.
Mencius said that the heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin......
Is this God's test of himself?
