I was thinking about what I should do if this really happened, but Huang Yixian had already pulled his hand out of the coffin without any harm, and there was a black stone in his hand that was about a foot long and resembled a human shape.
, Needless to say, this is the very evil stone that was once worshiped as a sacrifice to the earth god. Before I could see clearly what the stone looked like, Huang Yixian had quickly wrapped it up with a piece of black cloth, and also
A paper charm was affixed to the black cloth.
He carefully put the black stone wrapped in black cloth into his backpack, turned to Li Changshui and said: "If you don't mind, I will take this stone to Bailong Temple and sink it into Bailong Pond."
, to suppress its evil spirit."
Li Changshui hurriedly said: "Then there is Master Laohuang!"
Huang Yixian changed the topic again: "In addition, I just made a prediction and found that Li Fangtian died at the most evil time, so the job of carrying the coffin cannot be done by people with other surnames. It must be done by people from the Li clan. Otherwise,
I'm afraid that his soul will not be able to rest in peace and will still disturb the peace of the village." After saying that, he turned to Fatty Niu and me and said, "You two, stop being in the way here and stay aside!"
That was exactly what I wanted, but Fatty Niu hadn't reacted yet. He seemed to be worried that if he didn't finish his work, Li Changshui would ask for his wages back, so he was still a little reluctant to leave. I hurriedly pushed and pulled him.
Got out of the pit.
Li Changshui didn't expect Huang Yixian to suddenly make such a move, and he was in trouble for a while. Who should he find to carry the coffin now? He couldn't add more money, not to mention that no one might be willing to do it. He
After thinking for a long time, I finally came up with an alternative solution, which was to use a fair drawing of lots to determine the person who would carry the coffin.
He summoned all the young and strong young men in the village, and after drawing lots, four young men were determined to be responsible for carrying the coffin. The people who were not selected by the lottery all cheered, while the four who were selected were all expressionless.
They were devastated, but now that the matter had come to this, they could no longer shirk it and had no choice but to bite the bullet.
The firewood rack for cremation had already been set up. Under the guidance of Huang Yixian, the four young men carefully lifted the rotten coffin onto the cart and pulled it towards the firewood rack.
Fatty Niu was worried that Li Changshui would ask for his wages back, and he had been restless. Since I had exposed my identity to Huang Yixian, it was inconvenient for me to stay here any longer. In addition, I was still thinking about the peach wood stake, so I
I grabbed Fatty Niu and went to his house.
As soon as he walked to the door of his house, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on a small wooden stool in front of the door, carefully looking at the peach wood pile. On the ground beside him, there was an ax and an axe.
A pile of chopped firewood.
When I saw this posture, I was shocked: What is he going to do!? Is he planning to chop the peach wood piles as firewood?
I was about to speak to stop him, but Fatty Niu shouted: "Dad!" It turned out that this was Fatty Niu's father!
Niu Daddy raised his head, glanced at the two of us, and immediately smiled on his face: "The soldier is back, who is this?"
"He is my classmate, the brother Yu I often mention to you." Fatty Niu introduced. Obviously, he mentioned me in front of his father more than once.
Niu Daddy smiled and nodded at me: "Hello!"
"Hello, Uncle Niu!" I responded quickly.
Since we were covered in mud when we were digging the coffin, Dad Niu asked in confusion: "Why are you two so dirty?"
"I just did some work in Li Village!" Fatty Niu replied lightly, then looked at the peach wood stake in his father's hand and asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"
"I originally planned to chop some firewood, but I found that this was a very good piece of peach wood. It was a pity to chop it, so I didn't want to do it. Where did you get it from?" Fatty Niu once said that Dad Niu was originally a carpenter.
So I have a sympathy for good wood. When I heard him say this, I felt relieved.
"I didn't get this! Brother Yu temporarily stored it in our house. Don't mess with it." Fatty Niu stepped forward, removed the peach wood stake from his father's hand, and took it to the corner of the wall.
There was a hint of disappointment on Dad Niu's face, but soon he smiled again. He raised his head and asked me: "What are you doing with such a peach wood stake?"
"Haha, it's used to make a peach wood sword." I was worried that he would split the peach wood stake, so I had to tell the truth.
"Making a mahogany sword?" Niu Daddy was a little surprised.
I quickly explained: "My uncle opened a Feng Shui shop in the north of the city."
"The only Feng Shui shop in the north of the city is Qibao Zhai. So, you are Master Huang's apprentice?"
"Not an apprentice, but a master's nephew." I corrected. Although many people have regarded me as Huang Yixian's apprentice over the years, I always correct him because in my heart, there is only one master.
Niu Daddy smiled, said nothing more, and continued to chop his firewood.
At this moment, Fatty Niu suddenly thought of something. He took out the three hundred yuan he had just earned from his trouser pocket and handed it to Father Niu: "Dad! Here it is!"
When Niu Daddy saw that Fatty Niu actually took out so much money at once, he was shocked. He was so shocked that he dropped the ax in his hand without realizing it. He slowly raised his head and asked seriously: "Jun
Yaozi, where did you get so much money?"
"Stop talking about it, I'm going to work in Li Village!"
"Don't fool me! How can you earn so much money in half a day's work! Honestly, where did you get this money?" Niu's father must have felt that Fatty Niu's money came from a bad source.
"You just earn it by working!"
"Then tell me, what kind of work do you do?"
"Digging!"
"How much can you earn from digging in the soil? You think you're digging for gold!"
Fatty Niu has never been good at explaining things. When his father asked him, he blurted out: "Oh, it's not ordinary dirt, it's a cemetery!"
"What! You two went to rob a tomb!?" Niu Daddy stood up from the small wooden stool in shock. However, due to the car accident a few years ago, he now only has one leg left. As soon as he stood up, his body
He immediately leaned to the side, and Fatty Niu quickly stepped forward to hold him up.
But he pushed Fatty Niu away, stretched out his hand to hold the wall next to him to steady himself, and cursed: "You bastard, you actually did such a shameful thing! How did I teach you on weekdays? People have poor ambitions."
Not poor, how could you..."
Daddy Niu was so angry that he was shaking all over, and Fatty Niu was also extremely anxious. When he became anxious, he couldn't speak clearly and stammered for a long time, unable to say a complete sentence.
I quickly explained: "Uncle, you misunderstood. In fact, this is what happened."
In order to explain clearly, I had to tell the truth, starting from the time the three of us chopped down the peach tree last night, and told the whole story. After listening to it, Dad Ni's excitement gradually subsided.
Fatty Niu helped him sit down, and he asked in surprise: "Did Li Fangtian's body really be dug out?"
I nodded: "It was really dug out by Fatty Niu and I."
He turned to look at the peach wood pile in the corner and asked, "Then what do you plan to do with this peach wood pile? If the people in Li Village knew that it was you who chopped down the peach tree, it would be a big trouble.
"
"I know, so I plan to make it into a mahogany sword as soon as possible, but..." I hesitated.
"Just what?"
"It's just that I don't know how to make a peach wood sword yet! Now I can't give this peach wood stake to my uncle, alas..." I sighed.
Niu Daddy pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said: "If you can trust me, I can help you make this peach wood sword!"
"Uncle, can you do this too?" I was surprised and happy.
"I once helped a Mr. Yin-Yang make one before, and he even drew a special picture. I still keep it. Wait a minute!" After Niu Daddy finished speaking, he took the crutches aside, stood up, and leaned on the crutches.
He walked into the house with his cane.
After a while, he walked out of the house holding a piece of white paper that was already somewhat yellowed. The white paper was spread out, and there was indeed a sword drawn on it. However, this sword looked a little special. The sword pattern (Note: also known as
The guard, which refers to the oval-shaped plate between the sword body and the hilt as the guard, is narrow and almost flush with the sword body. Unlike the common mahogany swords, the sword grid is often wider.
Niu Daddy introduced: "This picture shows a seven-star peach wood sword. According to Mr. Yin and Yang, it can be used to ward off evil spirits and protect ghosts."
"Dad, where did you find this picture? Why didn't I know?"
"Haha, speaking of which, this picture is not unrelated to the Li Fangtian you unearthed today!"
"Do you still have something to do with him? Tell me, uncle, what's going on?" As soon as Li Fangtian was mentioned, my curiosity was immediately aroused.
Niu Daddy said: "After Li Fangtian died, a lot of evil things happened in this area, but at that time, no one dared to mention it. Later, Huang Youcai, director of the Revolutionary Committee, was struck to death by lightning during drought when he stopped digging a grave.
Everyone panicked and secretly found a Yin-Yang Mr., but the magic weapon used by this Yin-Yang Mr. had long been confiscated and destroyed. We couldn’t do our work without the magic weapon, so they asked me to make a mahogany sword.
.”
"So, uncle, do you know this Mr. Yin Yang?"
"Of course I know him. His surname is Mo, and everyone calls him Mr. Mo. Before his death, he was the very popular Mr. Yin Yang in the county. I heard he is a descendant of the Maoshan branch, and he is very powerful!"
"Then where is he now?" I continued to ask.
"After that incident, the Revolutionary Committee issued a letter of introduction to him. I heard that he went to Guangzhou. As for where he is now, I don't know. Anyway, I haven't seen him since."
After listening to what Niu Daddy said, I became more and more confused. Who is this Mr. Mo? When Li Changshui went to the shop to find Huang Yixian this morning, Huang Yixian seemed to call Mr. Mo a charlatan. The charlatan is a kind of Mr. Yin Yang.
A kind of contemptuous name for Huang Yixian. Why would Huang Yixian be so disrespectful to him?
