Zhuyoushu: The secret words of life and death under the spell
When the mugwort ash condenses into a lock shape in the palm of the hand, when the cinnabar charm oozes blood under the moonlight, those serious illnesses that have been judged as terminal diseases by modern medicine, those strange diseases that have been entangled for three generations, quietly disappear in a few obscure spells - this is Zhu Youshu, an ancient secret technique hidden in the fragmentary pages of the "Huangdi Neijing".
It uses the talisman as the key to interrogate the laws of Yin and Yang: when drawing the talisman, the essence and blood of the caster must be used as a guide, the spell must respond to the patient's heartbeat rhythm, and even the ashes of the burning talisman must be mixed with morning dew and swallowed. Some people say it is superstition and nonsense, but they do not know that the real descendant of Zhu You can see the root of the disease in the bronze mirror and identify the origin of evil spirits in the blood lines on the fingertips.
But this life-changing spell always carries a curse: every time the caster saves a person, his life span will be reduced by one point; the more serious the disease is, the more powerful the evil is. When the cinnabar pen draws the last stroke on the talisman paper, do you see a miracle of resurrection, or a ghostly figure emerging from the cracks in the talisman?
Those yellowed secret books of blessings hide a truth more terrifying than life and death: all the illnesses that have been cured are just passing on the disaster to more innocent people; and the so-called exorcism spells are actually bloody contracts signed with the underworld.
