However, the process of opening an altar for sacrificial talismans is quite complicated, and the person who sets up the altar must have certain skills, and more importantly, the specific method is not recorded in "Yin Yang Xuan Shu", so Bian Bian and I
There was nothing we could do anyway, and we couldn't ask Huang Yixian about this, so we had to make do with unconsecrated paper talismans. We thought it was just a practice, and we shouldn't encounter anything powerful.
These paper charms are almost enough to deal with ordinary dirty things.
After getting the paper talisman, you also need to get a decent magic weapon. There are many Taoist magic weapons, including flags, streamers, swords, rulers, seals, bells, towers, tokens, wishful thinking, whisks, etc., among which the most common ones are
The most effective magic weapon is the peach wood sword.
Peach is the essence of five woods, also known as "fairy wood", "dragon subduing wood" and "ghost fearful wood". Its nature is yang, so it has the function of warding off evil spirits and calming the house. If it is made of hundreds of years old peach wood,
The completed peach wood sword is a very powerful high-grade magical weapon, and the peach wood sword has another advantage. Even without being consecrated, it can still be used as a magical weapon, because the pure yang essence contained in the peach wood itself can
Exorcise evil spirits and control ghosts.
I discussed it with Jianjian and felt that it would be difficult to get other magical weapons, but it shouldn't be difficult to get a peach wood sword, because our place is rich in peach wood, and many people have peach trees planted in front of and behind their houses.
However, not all peach wood can be used to make a peach wood sword. It must be a peach tree that has been growing for at least twenty years. Moreover, the best material for making a peach wood sword is the relatively rare bitter peach tree, commonly known as the bitter peach tree.
, the peaches produced are small, bitter, and inedible. Generally no one can grow them at home, so they can only be seen in the wild, and even in the wild, you have to find a bitter peach tree that is more than 20 years old.
, is not an easy task either.
Jianjian and I wandered around the county town after school every day. However, after wandering for more than half a month, we could not find a suitable bitter peach tree. Just when we were about to give up using bitter peach wood to make peach wood swords, this day
Fatty Niu, who lives on the outskirts of the city, suddenly got a lot of peaches from nowhere. Naturally, he got these peaches not for eating, but to get the peach cores. The peach cores can be processed into jewelry. There are traders in the city who buy them.
Ten and fifteen cents.
Just as Fatty Niu was knocking the peach core with a brick, the large pile of peaches caught Jianjian and I's attention.
"Fat man! Where did you pick such a large number of peaches?"
"There is an abandoned earth temple in the southern suburbs of the city. There is a big peach tree there." Fatty Niu didn't even raise his head.
When Jianbian and I heard this, we immediately became excited, "Really!? Tell me, where is it?"
The county seat is an ancient county seat built along the river. It has a history of several hundred years. It runs north-south. There is a large archway built in the Republic of China in the north and south. They are usually called the South Gate and the North Gate. Huang Yixian's home is
It is next to the north gate, and there are six or seven miles from the north gate to the south gate. Therefore, Jianbian and I have rarely been to the south of the city, and we have almost never been to the suburbs of the south of the city, and we are not familiar with it.
Fatty Niu was immersed in cracking the peach cores seriously. He had no time to pay attention to us. He replied casually: "After you leave the south gate, you don't have to walk far to get there."
"Hey! Stop knocking! Tell me clearly, where exactly is he?" I grabbed Fatty Niu by his collar and dragged him up.
Fatty Niu was startled: "Old...Boss, you...what are you doing..."
Because I studied relatively late, I am the oldest in the class, and I am also taller, so my classmates usually call me Brother Yu or Boss, not to mention Fatty Niu, who is a serious person who worships me as my boss.
The boss's.
"First tell me where the Earth Temple is, and then I'll help you smash the peach stones with me!" I said.
Fatty Niu was slow in thinking. He was stunned for a while and then said with a smile: "Boss, you said so. Please help me later!"
"When have I lied to you? Tell me!" I said impatiently.
Fatty Niu tilted his neck and thought for a while, then said: "After exiting the south gate, turn left... No, no! Turn right... Wait! Boss, which way is right?" Fatty Niu always doesn't distinguish between left and right.
There is no shortage of training in physical education class.
"I x, don't tell the difference! Just draw!" Jianjian grabbed the white paper and ballpoint pen on the desk next to him and handed them to Fatty Niu.
Fatty Niu took the pen and paper and immediately lay on the desk and started drawing seriously.
Niu Fatty's academic performance is not very good. He is always ranked in the bottom ten in the class. He often fails in all subjects, including physical education. However, he always gets excellent grades in painting.
The teacher who taught painting said that he had an amazing talent for lines and frames.
Fatty Niu drew very seriously. After a while, a topographic map was completed.
Me and Jianjian came up and took a look. We even drew the big archway at the south gate. It really looked like that. From the picture, we can see that the Earth Temple that Fatty Niu mentioned is on the east side of the southern suburbs of the city.
, a place near the river, turn left at the first fork in the road after exiting the south gate, and you will arrive not far further.
I put the picture in my trouser pocket, and then Jianjian and I helped Fatty Niu crack the peach stones.
As my best buddy in the class besides being humble, it is necessary to introduce Fatty Niu here. Fatty Niu's surname is Niu Mingjun. Because he is fat, he got the nickname - Fatty Niu. However, don't look at him.
He looks very rich, but he is not actually a kid from a rich family. Moreover, his family's conditions are quite poor. His father had a car accident a few years ago and became disabled. The driver who caused the accident escaped again, leaving the family with a huge sum of money.
His mother couldn't bear the foreign debt, so she ran away with someone else a year ago, leaving him and his father to depend on each other. On weekdays, as soon as school was over, he would go pick up rags, or go to some construction sites to do odd jobs to earn some money.
To replenish household supplies. The reason why we break the peach cores is just to sell them for some money.
Out of sympathy, Jianjian and I have always taken good care of Fatty Niu. We often bring him delicious food and lend him a dollar or two from time to time. Of course, he has never paid back the money, but he
He kept track of every sum of money. He said that when he had the money, he would definitely pay it back to us together. Not long ago, he was bullied by three senior students at school. I happened to see it. Without saying a word, he rushed
Go up and have sex with the other person.
Although Huang Yixian was opposed to Jianqian and I learning the Yin and Yang of Feng Shui, he really wanted us to know some Kung Fu. Therefore, when we were still very young, he found a local martial artist to take us to his home.
As a disciple, the martial artist never accepts apprentices, but he and Huang Yixian are close friends. Although he refuses to accept us as apprentices, he agrees to teach us Kung Fu. In this way, after we get up early every morning, we have to first
I went to his place and practiced for more than an hour. For seven or eight years, no matter how windy or rainy it was, I almost never stopped.
So when it comes to fighting, let alone people of the same age, even ordinary adults, one or two of them may not be my opponent. And those three senior students are two years ahead of us. Speaking of which, they are comparable to mine.
They are actually about the same age, only fifteen or sixteen years old. After I got up, I immediately knocked down one of them with a series of punches. The other two were stunned on the spot. Before they could react, I was sweeping the hall again.
legs, knocking the other one to the ground, and the remaining one saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran away.
After this incident, Fatty Niu admired me greatly, and from then on he officially made me the boss.
While I was helping Fatty Niu smash the peach stones, I said to him: "Fatty Niu, why don't you take us to the Earth Temple after school? You have to pass by there anyway, and you know the way! In case we go wrong.
Already."
"No, no! I have to go to the north gate after school!" Fatty Niu said hurriedly.
"I x, we are going to the south gate, you go to the north gate, what are you doing! Play hide and seek with us!" Jianjian yelled.
Fatty Niu laughed naively and said: "Haha, I heard that there is a store in Beimen that charges two cents for each peach stone. I plan to take it to Beimen and sell it."
"What do you think? You only have one hundred, twenty or thirty peaches at most. Is it worth walking more than ten miles for seven or eight cents?" Jianjian said, taking out three yuan from his trouser pocket.
He flicked: "Come on, I'll give you three yuan, just a little more. Stop selling peach stones and take us to the Earth Temple!"
Jianjian is Huang Yixian's only son, and Huang Yixian only had a son when he was nearly fifty years old, so he dotes on Jianjian very much. He has seven or eight yuan of pocket money every day. In the era when a bowl of noodles only cost one and a half dollars, eight yuan
It’s not a small amount! And my pocket money is relatively much less, less than a quarter of his, and often even less. However, I have never been jealous of him, because based on my relationship with him, his money is
It's as if it's mine!
Fatty Niu stared at the money in Jianjian's hand, his eyes glowing green, but he did not reach out to take it. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he shook his head sadly: "I can't take your money anymore.
I already owe you twenty-nine dollars and eighty cents, and I can’t afford to pay you back if you borrow it again!”
Jianjian glared at Fatty Niu: "Who said I lent them to you! I used them to buy these peaches from you!"
Fatty Niu raised his head and asked in confusion: "Why did you buy these peaches?"
"You don't care! I can feed it to the monkeys!"
"You also raised a monkey! When did you raise it?"
"I x, why are you asking so many questions? Are you going to sell it or not?"
Fatty Niu hurriedly said: "Sell! Of course!" After saying that, he snatched the three dollars from Jianjian's hand. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and asked: "Then we still want to buy the peach."
Will the core be smashed out?"
"You're still smashing a hair! I said you were feeding the monkey. What will it eat if the meat is gone?" What you said was exactly what I wanted. Otherwise, there are so many hairy peaches, I really don't know when they will be smashed.
