Thirty-seven, like a shadow

As soon as the three words "credit swordsman" came out, Yuanzi was stunned at first, and then he glanced at the master. The two of them actually let out a lewd laugh at the same time. I suspect that the two of them are master and apprentice, and the laughter is exactly the same.

"Master, you're right, my original master's sect was a credit swordsman, also known as a swordsman. ”

"What are you talking about, what kind of credit swordsman, return sect, you make martial arts movies. "My first reaction when I heard the name "Swordsman on Credit" was in martial arts novels, the scene of lonely smoke in the desert, sunset over the long river, and a person, a knife, and a pot of wine. And then implant these two obscene smiles into it, how do you feel so incongruous.

"Credit knife customers, a bit similar to the Northeast out of the horse immortals, credit knife is just their way of trading. "Master's explanation is very good, but it is still not thorough enough.

Under my stubborn stalking, Master and Yuanzi explained to me the matter of the swordsman on credit.

The credit swordsmen are mainly distributed in the western part of our country, and their skills are passed down from master to apprentice, and there are also ancestors, mainly physiognomy and spirit detention. The so-called physiognomy is to judge people's fortune and misfortune through their palmistry, face and aura. It is said that advanced physiognomy can also judge changes in the natural climate and even major events in the world.

And the spirit of detention is actually not as domineering as in the cartoon, what summons a great immortal and then can move mountains and seas, invite a great god to put people to death thousands of miles away, these can't be said to be completely impossible, but at least in the world we know, we haven't heard of it.

The detention of the swordsman on credit is actually a bit similar to the horse fairy. Through certain methods, the credit knife can feel the presence of nearby spirits, and can achieve a certain degree of communication with them.

But this communication is relatively strong. Through communication, they can make the spirit temporarily exist in some kind of object and use it to some extent. It's a bit like raising a ghost. The only difference is that raising a ghost is to detain the living soul when the body dies, take the bones of the body as a medium, and put the living soul into the medium for the host to send, so some people hurt people's lives in order to raise the ghost to make money, and even the mother and son are killed with a knife, which is extremely evil. And the spirit of detention is often bound by the spirit of fate.

Some spirits take the initiative to come to the door to seek cooperation, and some spirits communicate with the swordsman by chance. In the whole process, although the means of detention are relatively strong, they are actually going with the flow. Of course, there are also some credit swordsmen who have mastered the spirit of detention and are driven by desire, and finally embark on the point of no return to devouring souls, so these people who go mad are not classified as credit swordsmen.

Let's talk about credit again. The knife is actually just a name, some swordsmen use knives, some use swords, some chopsticks, gas canisters or something, maybe they all have it. But this "knife" is actually just a collateral. When a person uses physiognomy to find that a person is about to have a catastrophe, or a disaster of blood and light, he will take the initiative to come to the door and negotiate with the parties:

"You have a bloody disaster within a year, I can help you solve it, you don't have to give me a penny now, I will return the knife to you, if what I said is fulfilled, I will help you solve it." Then two years from now (not necessarily), I'll come back to you and get a knife, which you can use, but it must be in the middle of the hall, or in the most prominent place in the kitchen. If the matter is settled to your satisfaction, you will have to pay me two years' rent on credit. If the matter is not fulfilled or, I do not solve it well, the knife belongs to you, and I will not take a penny. ”

It is also possible that through physiognomy, a person is found to be rich once in three years, and he will say this:

"I can let you open a treasury once in three years, the amount is about 1 million, and the approximate time is July next year, but there are a few things you must do according to what I say during this period, you are not allowed to move, you are not allowed to move the location of the furniture in the house, and your son will let him stay in the field and not come back. Now I will not take a penny, but I will give you this sword on credit, and in three years I will come to take it, and if it is fulfilled, you will have to pay me the rent for two years. If it is not fulfilled, I will not take a penny, and the sword will be yours. ”

In fact, the credit knife customer also does what he can, first use physiognomy to judge whether he is sure to accept this matter, and then through the detention of the spirit, give the sword to the spirit, credit to the party, meet the needs of the party, and then collect the so-called rent. It's a bit like a private money lender, except that the knife is used instead of a blessing or misfortune.

Motoko only learned part of the physiognomy from his original master, as well as some introductory techniques from the spirit general, and that master passed away. Naturally, he was not engaged in this ancient industry either.

Motoko rarely mentions his experience in this area to the people around him, on the one hand, for fear of touching unnecessary cause and effect, and on the other hand, for fear of being regarded as a neuropathy by the people around him.

When I met the master this time, it can really be said that I was sleepy and met the pillow, and with the strength of the wine, these two began to say those things that they usually dare not say to others:

"Yuanzi, have you always been following a master by your side?" the master suddenly asked.

"You're right, Master, aren't you also accompanied by two masters? one is sometimes there, sometimes not, and the other is with you!"
