Chapter 51 She liked to wear jade pendants around her neck
The old lady ignored her mother's urging and continued talking to herself:
"My dear daughter, I can see that you have indeed not offended any deities."
But someone took something from you, attached it to a small figure, and tied your vital energy to that thing.
Your headache, stomachache, and sprained ankle—it's all because of that person.
Zhou Min's first reaction to these words was that they were absurd.
As a college student who received a materialist education from a young age,
She never believed in ghosts or gods.
Have you lost anything from your person recently?
Or perhaps someone picked up a hair somewhere?
Zhou Min was stunned when she heard this.
That's actually quite possible!
It's somewhat possible.
But not many.
Not to mention that people lose hair every day.
This is a very common phenomenon.
Even if we really have to say who she offended...
There are so many!
For example, her awful roommate, her ex-boyfriend, and a few classmates...
There are too many to list.
Does she really intend to investigate them one by one?
Should we subtly probe each of them and observe their reactions?
joke!
"I lose hair every day, every class, it's normal. How would I know who picked up my hair?"
Zhou Min gave a perfunctory reply.
"Sigh~"
The old lady sighed.
While she was in a daze,
The old woman stood up and went to the shrine.
Take a yellow talisman folded into a triangle from the offering table.
He drew a few lines on it with cinnabar.
She handed the talisman to Zhou Min with considerable certainty:
"Wear this talisman close to your body, and your symptoms will definitely improve within three days. Incense money: 600."
to be frank,
She didn't believe it to begin with.
Plus, with such an absurd price,
I don't believe it anymore!
Zhou Min was about to refuse,
Her mother snatched it away, and she thanked her repeatedly.
He counted out six banknotes from his pocket and placed them on the table.
The old lady put the money away carefully.
He closed his eyes again and waved to signal that the guest had to leave.
Zhou Min had no choice.
Although she really wanted to get angry, seeing her mother's happy expression...
We had no choice but to give up.
Zhou Min was resentful, but there was nothing she could do.
Moreover, what the old lady said sounded quite mystical.
But fantasy isn't entirely unacceptable.
"Okay, I'll give it a try when I get back!"
……
In the next few days,
Bai Sheng devoted all his energy to cultivation.
I get up on time every morning.
First practice the One Qi Righteous Yang Sword.
Set aside 25 minutes on time to practice observing objects, starting by staring at a mineral water bottle.
Then there are the coasters on the coffee table.
The effect is good.
The time it takes to focus is two minutes.
Slowly stretch for about five minutes.
Bai Sheng glanced at the relevant descriptions in the innate Taoist texts.
I found that being able to focus for five minutes is already a very average ability.
Two minutes of focused concentration is simply not suitable for practicing visualization techniques.
Because such people generally don't have much talent.
Even if you focus on cultivation, you won't make any progress.
Bai Sheng was indeed the complete opposite.
The improvement in focus is quite noticeable.
This feeling is strange.
It's like suddenly cramming before an exam.
They actually got better grades than those who usually study and listen attentively in class!
"Am I really a genius?"
"Is it just that they had a higher starting point, while I improved faster?"
Bai Sheng thought for a moment.
But he quickly dismissed the idea!
This has nothing to do with whether someone is a genius or not.
He carefully recalled his previous study habits.
Back in high school, I could do math problems for an hour straight without getting distracted.
After university,
Instead, even after reading a textbook for ten minutes, I couldn't resist touching my phone.
This isn't a change in talent.
My attention was completely ruined by something!
to be honest,
It's because I've been watching too many short videos.
Information acquisition has become fragmented, and this has also formed a habit.
The brain has adapted to the pattern of switching stimuli every ten seconds or so.
Prolonged focus can actually make you feel unfamiliar with something.
His rapid progress in visualization techniques was not due to any innate talent.
His brain simply had that foundation.
It's just clearing up the cache that's been slowed down by fragmented information.
What he lost was the habit of focus, and the visualization method helped him regain that habit.
Once you understand this,
Bai Sheng put down the Taoist book and closed his eyes again.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Let's practice observing objects one more time tonight.
Focus time could probably be improved even further.
right,
As for the cursed villain and that girl named Zhou Min,
He completely ignored it after that.
Who has time to worry about these things?
Let's talk about it another time when we have time.
……
And on the other side,
Girls' dormitory
Zhou Min kept that yellow talisman up for three whole days.
There weren't any immediate results in the first two days.
But by the third day, she found that her stomach pain had subsided.
The swelling in my ankle has gone down.
My head wasn't dizzy when I woke up in the morning.
She stared at her face in the mirror, which looked better.
The firm belief in ghosts and gods that I had once held in my heart began to waver!
Maybe what the old lady said was true?
Maybe I really did bump into something, and that talisman neutralized it?
Zhou Min took the bus home during her free afternoon class.
After getting home, she told her mother about it.
Zhou's mother made the decision on the spot.
"What did I say? They really have real skills!"
"Your roommate is definitely messing with you behind your back!"
Let me tell you, these truly skilled immortals are extremely rare and hard to find.
We need to go again and have them take a thorough look at you.
Our family can't stand this humiliation. Let's see if we can vent our anger.
Zhou Min understood that the so-called "venting" was just a way for him to get revenge.
in the afternoon,
The mother and daughter reappeared at the entrance of that first-floor unit.
After entering,
Zhou Min discovered that
The old lady was still sitting cross-legged in the armchair.
He smiled slightly as he saw them enter.
She had seen far too many repeat customers who came back after leaving.
Last time, a single talisman cost 600 yuan. That must have been expensive, right?
But that's just the first hurdle.
Once a person believes for the first time,
Then the thresholds can be added one by one!
"Auntie, we got a talisman from you last time, and the child got better after wearing it for three days."
"Would you like to take another look and see if there's any way to completely eradicate it?"
The old lady slowly opened her eyes: "The talisman last time only temporarily dispelled the evil spirits that were clinging to her."
But those who can perform curses are quite skilled…”
Zhou Min's mother panicked: "What can we do, Auntie? You have to save our child!"
The old woman got up slowly and walked to the shrine.
He took out a wooden box from under the offering table.
I put it on the table and opened it.
Several jade plaques and several strings of cinnabar bracelets were placed on the red velvet cloth.
The quality is average, and the carving is also mediocre.
But under the dim light of the incense hall,
It also possessed a certain indescribable solemnity.
She picked up a white jade pendant and waved it in front of Zhou Min.
"This is a blessed jade amulet that can ward off misfortune and bad luck. It's priced at ten thousand, but you can give me two thousand."
He then picked up a string of cinnabar beads: "This is for calming the soul."
If you put it under your pillow when you sleep at night, you're guaranteed not to have nightmares. Eight hundred.
Zhou Min glanced at her mother.
Her mother hesitated, glancing at the things on the table before biting her lip.
"Auntie, this jade pendant is too expensive..."
