Apple? Help me?
Confused by the lazy young man's suggestion, Leon couldn't help but ask:
"Why Apple?"
"It doesn't have to be an apple, a four-leaf clover, a rabbit's foot, a crystal clear amethyst, a coin that was produced on a certain date and carried for a long time, or some red item that symbolizes good luck.
I chose apples because they are the best to obtain, they don't wilt easily like four-leaf clovers, or they need to be carried for a long time like lucky coins, and they are very cheap, and a single amethyst can buy dozens of carts.
As for why I say it saves lives...... That's because eating an apple and throwing away the pit is one of the simplest occult rituals to pray for good luck."
"Ritual?"
"Yes, it's a ritual."
After raising his hand and pointing at Leon's eyebrows, the lazy young man explained slowly:
"For example, my gesture of referring to you is a simple ritual in the occult sense, meaning 'guide', 'select', or 'lock', and the effect can be enhanced with your name.
Eating apples is similar, this sweet fruit with red skin has the four meanings of "good luck", "peace", "temptation" and "enlightenment", and is a very classic ritual prop in occultism.
And if you eat the flesh of the fruit, you will eat the temptation, if you throw away the apple, you will lose your peace, and if you don't eat or plant the seeds of the apple, you will give up enlightenment, and after the meaning of the apple is gone, then all that remains is the simple good fortune of getting four times the strength."
After talking about a bunch of divine babbling things, the lazy young man raised his hand and drew a wavy line in the air, and then continued to explain to Leon, who was a little dazed:
"As I said before, the relationship between the two of us is much more unlucky than ordinary people because we are hated by the will of the world, but this does not mean that we are not lucky, but our luck is forcibly suppressed by the will of the world.
So if we take something that represents luck and proudly throw it into the world, it is equivalent to connecting with this bastard who suppressed our luck and completing a simple luck secret.
In this way, a large amount of luck that it forcibly suppresses will spew out along the opening provided by the Luck Secret Instrument, bringing us sudden good luck, and reducing the volatility of fate, making our 'wavy line' relatively stable, and avoiding those overly dangerous troughs.
Of course, after learning this secret ritual, it's best not to eat apples, after all, these luck don't come out of thin air, but we exchange our own accumulated bad luck, so the total amount is limited.
And you're not like me, you have an anomaly that can directly see through your fate, and it's very dangerous to change your fate too often, so it's best to use it only when you need it, and make sure you don't die of bad luck."
……
So that's what happened......
After roughly figuring out why throwing apple cores brings good luck, Leon couldn't help but nodded in a sudden realization, but looked at the cat's paw badge on his chest, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously:
"But I only spit out a mouthful of the flesh before, why did I also bring good luck and get the badge to enter the Weighing Gold Sect ***?"
"Because your bite was too big, you took all the seeds out of the apple core, and you can barely complete the secret ceremony."
"That's ......."
Leon nodded knowingly, and then asked with some concern:
"Senior Tom, are there any other 'simple secret rituals' that need to be paid attention to? For example, eating an orange or a black fruit or something doesn't suddenly bring bad luck, right?"
"It's okay, this thing will only take effect in its entirety if the initiator is aware of the effects of the ritual and consciously does it."
The lazy young man replied in a steady tone as he strode through the dim underground alleyway:
"You've just been able to successfully activate the Simple Secret Ceremony, and you probably think you can bring it by spitting out apples like I did
Good luck, and also subconsciously partially imitated my posture, which can be regarded as meeting the basic activation conditions, otherwise the secret ritual would not be so easy to succeed.
And the effect of our secret ritual is so powerful, or because it is hated by the will of the world, this qualification is not something that ordinary people can have, and for people who don't know, it is impossible to launch the secret ritual by doing anything.
Even if they really got the conditions together and luckily launched a simple secret ritual, with the strength and qualifications of ordinary people's souls, at most they would just pick up a few copper wheels...... Get ready, after this gate is the *** location of the Weighing Gold Sect, you can collect all the anomalies on your body first!"
After alerting Leon, the lazy young man stopped, stood in front of a thick door with one hundred and eleven brass wheels nailed, and then reached out and fumbled in his pocket, and took out a large pile of strange things.
A small bottle of mercury, sulphur powder wrapped in moisture-proof paper, and a bag of salt with "Char's Department Store" printed on the package......
Two sets of weights of pure copper, a tin balance with an iron plate, a small silver mirror, and two large gold teeth from nowhere......
Amber, matches, cut nails, bloodstained scratch paper, curved horns resembling cows and sheep, tails of unknown creatures......
It's weird.
Looking like Doraemon, a lazy young man who took out a lot of messy things from his small pocket and placed them outside the gate to start the "altar opening method", even if the situation was urgent at the moment, Leon still couldn't help but ask:
"These things are ......"
"Mercury is the three sacred elements, which represent the fire of the spirit and the spirit, the feminine water of change and adaptation, and the solid and supporting substance, which also means the body, soul, and the bridge between the two."
The lazy young man, who seemed to know that Leon would ask questions, was tinkering with the ritual field, replied without raising his head:
"The latter two groups are five symbolic elemental metals, and three pairs of materials with opposite meanings, of which amber is solidified and eternal, matches are ephemeral and extinguished; The child's nails represent growth, and the old man's suicide note signifies the end; The horns of the head and the tail hint at the beginning and the end, respectively...... Alright, I'm almost ready, let's go!"
took out an apple, gnawed it clean by dividing it by two, and threw the core into the middle of the ritual field, with big dark circles on his face, looking like an Internet addict boy far more like a "wizard" Tom, directly pushed open the door in front of him, and took the lead in entering the *** place of the Weighing Gold Sect.
「……」
So what exactly are you preparing?
Looking at the pile on the ground that could not be said to be scribbled and disorderly, it could only be said that it looked like a garbage heap, and after Leon, who had no clue, was silent for a while, he had to carefully bypass these things of unknown meaning, and then entered the *** place of the Weighing Gold Sect, and then ......
"Jingle Bell"
The moment he stepped through the door, there was a sound of precious metals colliding with each other, and the cat's paw badge on Leon's chest trembled slightly, and he threw it out abruptly
A somewhat heavy cloth money bag was thrown at Leon's feet.
What appeared in front of Leon later was not a sneaky scene of a bunch of believers in thick robes, pouting their butts and kowtowing to the idol in the middle, but a huge and lively square.
A large number of richly dressed men and women, wearing badges of three animals, walked up and down the square, stopping briefly at a "stall" from time to time to buy their favorite ......
Wait a minute!
Looking at the shelves of the stall next to him, a dozen roaring fishmen in sealed fish tanks, and a whole miniature manor that was only the size of a palm, but the sound of flags and horns, and even the texture of the stone on the exterior wall were clearly visible, Leon's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
What are the goods sold here...... Isn't that something wrong?
