The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 278
A quarter of an hour later, in Zen Master Lingyou's meditation room.

"There really is such a magic of 'borrowing life' in this world?"

After seeing the sleepy Zhang Chusheng with his own eyes, Hui Ji, who had never seen this kind of Xiangxi witchcraft, stood beside him in amazement.

To say that among the new generation of cultivators, Hui Ji is also one of the kind of well-informed and strong men, even if he is not much better than the old generation of strong men in the previous generation.

But before today, Hui Ji had never heard of this unique sorcery in Xiangxi.

To put it bluntly, if it is true that only a piece of paper money or a copper coin can avert disasters, then the supernatural powers and spells of practitioners are a bit too cheap, right?
"There are three thousand paths and eight hundred side doors. There are so many ways to practice in this world..."

"There are good and evil among them, and this witchcraft technique is one of the more famous types among the eight hundred sects."

Not only to explain Zhang Chusheng's current situation to Zhang Tuhu, but also to let the two apprentices understand the weirdness of this sorcery, Zen Master Lingyou said with a frown.

"Practicing this kind of witchcraft does not guarantee longevity, and the physical condition of the practitioner may even be weaker than ordinary people."

Although witchcraft is famous for its treachery and horror, in the final analysis, it is just some ordinary people who have mastered evil spells.

Not to mention the Buddhists who pay attention to reincarnation and rebirth in this life.

Even Taoism has the saying that the fate of the world is exhausted and that there is no cause and effect.

Therefore, witchcraft is actually only effective for ordinary people most of the time, but those who practice some Taoism will not be afraid of those evil methods.

Golden body, golden elixir, Dharma image, primordial spirit...

Because no matter which path the practitioners take, from the moment they start practicing, it means that they have left the mortal body, and have evolved and sublimated from the form of life.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons for the gradual decline of those heretics.

Don't seek afterlife, don't seek longevity, don't even seek physical fitness...

The sorcery practiced at the expense of so much is difficult to deal with even the weakest orthodox practitioners. It can only be used to enslave those mortals who do not have any Taoism. Everyone knows how to choose.

"As an ability acquired at such a huge price, there is almost no way to restrain the weirdness of witchcraft."

"Especially when it is not clear why the caster 'borrowed' from Chu Sheng..."

"Only by finding the medium of the spell or killing the caster can Chu Sheng be completely cured."

This is the most troublesome point for Zen Master Lingyou. Zhang Tuhu doesn't even know when Zhang Chusheng was cursed, let alone who is the caster.

"I probably know why the caster 'borrowed' from Chu Sheng."

"And speaking of 'spell medium', I should have found it too."

As soon as Pei Wende's words came out, not to mention Zhang Tuhu who was on the side stretched out his hand excitedly to grab him, even Zen Master Lingyou and Monk Huiji showed surprise on their faces.

"Wen De? Can you cure Chu Sheng?"

Seeing Zhang Tuhu who was so excited that he couldn't help himself, Pei Wende hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded affirmatively.

"Don't worry, I will definitely cure Chu Sheng."

In fact, with Pei Wende's character, he rarely expresses his position in the face of uncertain things.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Pei Wende, who knows this well, is unwilling to give people too much hope, and then let him fall into despair again.

But when he saw Zhang Tuhu's pleading expression, he suddenly felt that sometimes it's not a bad thing to give a certain kind of promise.

At least when facing Butcher Zhang, Pei Wende didn't want to disappoint this elder who watched him grow up.

"I don't know what the 'borrowing' is like, but I know that the reason why Chu Sheng was targeted is that someone took a fancy to his 'fate'."

To be honest, Pei Wende felt very mocking when he said this.

Because as a traveler from the 21st century, he has always believed in the idea that man can conquer nature. There has never been absurd things in this world that are bound to succeed just because of a certain "fate".

Even those rich second generations born at the end and winners in life may fall into the dust again if they wantonly squander the "inheritance" left by the previous generation.

However, after going through a series of things, Wen Wende had to admit that there are indeed "special" people in this world.

These people may not be destined to achieve a certain achievement, 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 Fate", he is destined to stir up wind and rain in this chaotic world, but in the end, he will bring disaster to the world or benefit the world, only God knows.

"Fate?"

Reminded by Pei Wende, Zen Master Lingyou instantly seemed to realize something, and a sense of enlightenment and understanding flashed across his face.

"Borrowing life" as the name suggests means borrowing someone else's life.

In most cases, this "fate" refers to the vitality of a person, and it is the hope of those frail voodoo girls who hope to use a strong man with vigorous energy and blood to bear some kind of sorcery or evil spirits' infestation instead of themselves.

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……"

Chan Master Lingyou opened his mouth hesitantly, but before he could speak, Monk Huiji asked him the doubts in his heart.

"Wen De, when did you practice the 'Fate Art'?"

Mountains, medicine, fate, physiognomy, and divination are the five Taoist arts, and the mysterious fate art is the secret of most Taoist schools.

Pei Wende was able to recognize at a glance that "borrowing life" borrowed fate rather than vitality, which only showed that his understanding of fate was no longer limited to common sense practice.

Only those practitioners who have formally practiced the life-giving technique can see the trickiness of this "life-borrowing" magic at a glance.

Of course, Zen Master Lingyou and Monk Huiji would ask Pei Wende this, not only because he suddenly learned a Taoist secret technique that he shouldn't have learned.

It is also because people who practice fate are usually those who are determined to change their fate against the sky!

I am unwilling because I know it, and I have to change because I am unwilling.

To put it bluntly, none of the practitioners who practice fate will end well.

There was Zhuge Liang from the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang from the period of Empress Wu Zhao, and even Liu Bowen from Ming Dynasty...

Which one of these masters of life art can achieve a good death?
"Well, I just learned a little 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 fate, obsessed with changing their fate against the sky, and would end up in a miserable end.

But Pei Wende couldn't say clearly that he "ate" an incarnation of Dan Chenzi, and then obtained Huangshizong's "green bag magic" from his memory.

In desperation, even though he knew Zen Master Lingyou and Monk Huiji would not believe his words, Wen Wende could only say so perfunctorily.

"However, I guarantee that I have not practiced life skills, and I have no thoughts of changing my life against the sky."

After all, Pei Wende didn't care whether the two believed it or not, he turned his head and turned his attention to the sleeping Zhang Chusheng again, and changed the subject very clumsily.

"Compared to this, saving people is the top priority now!"

Taking a deep breath, Pei Wende's three major chakras turned instantly, and even the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in his body spit out a mighty true energy.

That huge true energy bypassed the complicated meridians and energy channels, and poured directly into Pei Wende's eyes like a spirit snake.
