I take a little action, that's the limit

I asked him what the five disadvantages and the three disadvantages were, and he told me that the five disadvantages were widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, independence, and disability. The three shortages, to put it bluntly, are lack of money, lack of power, and lack of life.

I frowned as soon as I heard this. If I had to suffer such a punishment if I learned some Taoist magic to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, then why should I learn it?

"Brother Ma, what did you commit?" I asked curiously.

He pondered for a long time without saying a word before saying with confused eyes: "I don't know, maybe I'm not good at Taoism and the punishment hasn't appeared yet."

Before leaving, he patted me on the shoulder and asked me to think carefully before calling him.

I went back home, washed up briefly, and took the bus to the nearest bank.

I asked my dad for an account number and wired the money to him. He asked me where I got so much money. I said it was my scholarship. When he heard this, he kept asking questions from ear to ear. I made it up. I told him a lot of lies and told him that the country needs talents like me now, and he gave up.

Regarding my mother's illness, neither of us tacitly mentioned it.

After hanging up the phone, I felt guilty and my whole body was covered in sweat. Grandma, does the country need people like me? A poor student who has been in class for two years?

……

Ten days later, I took the college entrance examination as scheduled. Everyone else was nervous about the test of a million soldiers crossing a single-plank bridge, but I didn't feel anything. I had decided to be Mr. Yin and Yang, so it was natural for me to be admitted to a university. It's a good thing. It doesn't matter if you fail the exam.

Don't they all say that I am greedy for life and a short-lived ghost? Since my fate is like this, why should I be afraid of five shortcomings and three shortcomings?

After the exam, I went to an Internet cafe with Shen Heng and Liu Damao for a crazy night, and slept at home for another day. Then I called Ye Tianlong to ask about my family situation. He told me that my dad has been laughing these days. Haha, I feel a lot relieved. It seems that my mother's condition should be stable.

After lunch, I summoned Brother Ma to my home. He sat on the sofa and asked me: "Have you really considered it?"

"Think about it, I'm not going to repay the money I borrowed from you." I said jokingly.

"Fuck, why don't you give it a try?" Brother Ma grabbed my neck and asked.

"It's a joke, it's a joke." I laughed dryly, fearing that the ignorant little brother Ma would get entangled in this matter, so I changed the subject and asked: "Brother Xiao Ma, can you teach me some Taoism?"

"Then we have to see first what kind of talent you have and what kind of Taoist skills you are suitable to learn." Brother Ma touched his chin and thought for a while, then took out the talisman paper, brush and cinnabar from his pocket and put them on the table, then he drew a Talisman, said to me: "This is the unlocking talisman, you can see it clearly."

As he spoke, he placed the talisman on the padlock on the window sill and chanted: "Emergency is like a law!"

The lock made a "click" sound and automatically popped open.

My eyes almost fell to the ground: "Oh, this is so magical. If you learn this spell, won't you be able to freely enter and exit various communities?"

"I, the Taoist priests from Maoshan, are all aboveboard, how could I be..." Brother Xiao Ma looked serious, but he suddenly stopped talking midway through, as if he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

"Brother Xiao Ma, so you are a Taoist priest from Maoshan?" I asked.

"No." Xiao Ma shook his head with a dark look, and I saw helplessness and loneliness in his eyes.

It was obvious that he was a man with a story, but I was too embarrassed to ask if he didn’t tell me.

The unlocking charm seems very simple, but when it comes to me, I actually tried it over and over again hundreds of times before I succeeded with a "click".

In the next few days, Brother Ma taught me a lot of charms, including the charm to cure toothache, the charm to collect rats, the purification charm, and what is annoying is that there is also a birth control charm.

I recorded the spells I learned in a notebook. I held the notebook in both hands with a black line on my head. Damn it, can I use these spells to conquer demons and save the world?

"Brother Xiao Ma, please teach me the Five Thunder Curse." I said to Brother Xiao Ma.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm busy." Xiao Ma was concentrating on lowering his head and didn't know what he was doing. I walked over and took a look, and the grandson was holding his mobile phone and watching the island country's annual ethical action blockbuster. .

"Brother Ma, I have a collector's edition. Do you want to see it?" I asked.

"What, where are you?" Brother Ma's eyes were red and he couldn't wait to ask me.

"Teach me the Five Thunder Curse!" I looked into Brother Ma's eyes and said every word.

After hearing this, he said with an expression of embarrassment: "Xiao Luo, it's not that I don't teach you, do you know how difficult the Five Thunder Curse is? I have learned it for more than years before I have some success."

"You sister, do you think I'm a fool? Aren't you born in the s? How did you get more than years?"

"I have been learning the Five Thunder Curse since I can remember..."

"What if my talent is so high that I can learn it in two days?"

"Uh... Okay, but you have to promise me that if I teach you the Five Thunder Curse, you have to give me the collector's edition. Whether you can learn it or not depends on your luck."

"Okay." I nodded excitedly, finally having a decent technique.

Brother Ma taught me for more than an hour, then he hugged my mobile hard drive and ran to the next door in a hurry. I could tell with my toes that I must be doing something inappropriate for children.

Later, I exchanged many teachers' collector's editions for a lot of charms from Brother Ma, but those charms were very difficult, and it seemed that any of them were no easier than the Five Thunder Spell. I recorded them in a book, hoping to have time in the future to slowly Study.

But I didn't learn anything. After a week of retreat practice, apart from those annoying auxiliary charms, I finally learned to use the ghost-killing charm.

On this day, Brother Ma came to my place again to eat and drink. I said with a sad face: "Brother, if you come here two more times, I will have to sell the house."

"A man who stands tall and strong, how can he be stumped by a few cents?" He sneered and asked me, "Do you want to make money?"

"Of course I have." I replied without thinking.

"Okay, with your qualifications, you can actually make some money." Brother Ma looked me up and down seventy-two times and nodded frequently.

"Brother, I'm a serious person. I don't sell my body, not my art." I said righteously.

"You're such a coward and you still want to sell yourself?" Brother Ma curled his lips in disgust: "We're setting up a fortune-telling stall, are you going to go?"

"How much money does it make?"

"I once made half a million in half a day."

After I asked him some things that need to be paid attention to when setting up a stall for reading photos, I took him to buy some clothes.

The next day, I found a busy commercial street. As soon as I set up the Gua stall and put on my sunglasses, a sports car stopped in front of me. Then, a long, white and attractive leg emerged from inside. Exploring out...
