A quarter of an hour later, in Zen Master Lingyou’s Zen room.
"Is there really such a magic of 'borrowing lives' in this world?"
After seeing the sleeping Zhang Chusheng with her own eyes, Hui Ji, who had never seen such Xiangxi witchcraft before, stood beside him with a look of amazement.
It should be said that among the new generation of practitioners, Huiji is one of those knowledgeable and powerful people, even better than the older generation of powerful people in the previous generation.
But before today, Huiji had never heard of this kind of evil magic unique to western Hunan.
To put it bluntly, if it is true that disaster can be averted with just a piece of paper money or a copper coin, then the magical powers and spells of the practitioners are a bit too cheap, right?
"There are three thousand avenues and eight hundred side doors. There are so many ways to practice in this world..."
"There is good in it and there is evil in it, and this witchcraft is one of the more famous types among the eight hundred sects."
Not only to explain Zhang Chusheng's current situation to Butcher Zhang, but also to let the two apprentices understand the weirdness of this evil technique, Zen Master Lingyou said with a frown.
"Practicing this kind of witchcraft cannot lead to immortality, and the physical condition of the practitioner may even be weaker than that of ordinary people."
Although witchcraft is famous for its weirdness and horror, in the final analysis, it is just ordinary people who have mastered evil magic.
Let’s not talk about Buddhism, which emphasizes reincarnation and the causes and consequences of this life and the next.
Even Taoists have a saying that once the worldly connections are over, there is no need for cause and effect.
Therefore, witchcraft is actually only effective on mortals most of the time, but practitioners with some Taoism will not be afraid of those evil methods.
Golden body, golden elixir, dharma, soul...
Because no matter which path a practitioner takes, from the moment they start practicing, it means that they have broken away from the mortal body and have evolved and sublimated from the form of life.
In fact, this is one of the reasons for the gradual decline of those heretic practitioners.
Not seeking an afterlife, not seeking immortality, not even seeking physical fitness...
Sacrifice so many talents to practice witchcraft, but it is difficult for even the weakest orthodox practitioners to deal with, and can only enslave those mortals who have no moral practice. Everyone knows how to choose.
"But as an ability acquired at such a huge price, there is almost no way to restrain the weirdness of witchcraft."
"Especially when it's not clear why the caster wants to 'borrow his life' from Chu Sheng..."
"Only by finding a spell medium or killing the caster can Chu Sheng be completely cured."
This was the most troublesome point for Zen Master Lingyou. Butcher Zhang didn't even know when Zhang Chusheng was cursed, let alone who the caster was.
"I probably know why the caster wants to 'borrow his life' from Chu Sheng."
"And speaking of the 'spell medium', I should have found it too."
As soon as Pei Wende said this, not only did Butcher Zhang excitedly reach out to catch him, but even Zen Master Lingyou and Monk Huiji looked surprised.
"Wende? Can you cure Chu Sheng?"
Seeing Tutu Zhang who was so excited that he couldn't help himself, Pei Wende hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded affirmatively.
"Don't worry, I will definitely cure Chu Sheng."
In fact, given Pei Wende's character, he rarely expresses his stance like this when faced with uncertain matters.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Pei Wende, who knew this well, was unwilling to give people too much hope and then let him fall into despair again.
But when he saw Butcher Zhang's pleading expression, he suddenly felt that sometimes it wasn't a bad thing to make a certain promise.
At least when facing Butcher Zhang, Pei Wende was not willing to disappoint the elder who had watched him grow up.
"I don't know what 'borrowing one's life' means, but I know that Chu Sheng was targeted because someone took a fancy to his 'fate'."
To be honest, Pei Wende felt very mocked when he said this.
Because as a time traveler from the 21st century, he has always believed in the concept that man can conquer nature. There has never been any absurd thing in this world that success is bound to happen just because of a certain "fate".
Even those rich second generations and winners in life who were born at the end of the line may fall into the dust again if they wantonly squander the "legacy" left by their predecessors.
However, after experiencing a series of things, Pei Wende had to admit that there are indeed "special" people in this world.
These people may not be destined to achieve certain achievements, but as long as they work a little harder, it is indeed possible to achieve achievements beyond ordinary people.
The most ironic thing is that Pei Wende, who upholds the concept of "man can conquer nature", is one of them.
With the "Earth Dragon Destiny", he is destined to stir up troubles in this chaotic world. Whether he will end up causing trouble in the world or benefiting the world, only God knows.
"Fate?"
Being reminded by Pei Wende, Zen Master Lingyou instantly seemed to realize something, and a flash of realization and understanding flashed across his face.
"Borrowing one's life" literally means borrowing someone else's life.
In most cases, this "fate" refers to a person's vitality. It is those frail voodoo girls who hope that a strong man with strong blood can bear the intrusion of some kind of evil spell or evil ghost on their behalf.
But if you think about it from another angle, since you have already "borrowed" your life, why can't you use some special fate to help you practice evil methods?
"only……"
Zen Master Lingyou opened his mouth hesitantly, but before he formally spoke, Monk Huiji asked him the doubts in his heart.
"Wende, when did you practice the 'Fate Technique'?"
Mountains, medicine, fortune, fortune telling, and divination are the five Taoist arts, and the mysterious fortune-telling is a secret that is not passed down by most Taoist sects.
Pei Wende was able to recognize at a glance that "borrowing life" borrowed fate rather than vitality, which only shows that his understanding of fate is no longer limited to common sense in practice.
Only those practitioners who have formally practiced the art of life can see the trick of this "borrowing life" magic at a glance.
Of course, Zen Master Lingyou and Monk Huiji would ask Pei Wende this question, not just because he suddenly learned Taoist secrets that he should not have learned.
This is especially because people who practice destiny are usually those who are determined to change their destiny against heaven!
Because you know it, you are unwilling to accept it, and because you are unwilling to accept it, you want to change.
To put it bluntly, no practitioner who practices destiny will end well.
There were Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang of the Empress Wu Zhao period, and even Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty...
Which of these masters of life-gathering skills can achieve a good death?
"Well, I just learned a little bit by chance."
Pei Wende naturally knew the worries of Zen Master Lingyou and Monk Huiji. They were afraid that they would be like those practitioners who practiced fortune-telling, obsessed with changing their fate against nature, and would end up with a miserable end.
But Pei Wende cannot clearly say that he "ate" an incarnation of Dan Chenzi, and then obtained Huangshi Sect's "Green Bag Magic" from his memory.
In desperation, even though he knew that Zen Master Lingyou and Monk Huiji would not believe his words, Pei Wende could only speak perfunctorily.
"But I promise that I have not practiced fortune-telling, and I have no idea of changing my fate against the will of heaven."
Having said that, Pei Wende didn't care whether they believed it or not, he turned his head and cast his eyes on the sleeping Zhang Chusheng again, and changed the topic clumsily.
"Compared with this, saving talents is the top priority now!"
Taking a deep breath, Pei Wende's three major chakras started to rotate instantly, and even the Nine-turn Golden Pill in his body spit out a powerful stream of true energy.
The huge amount of true energy bypassed the complicated meridians and flowed directly into Pei Wende's eyes like a spiritual snake.
