I found a peach tree that was said to be decades old, which was really not as exaggerated as hundreds of years and thousands of years, and grandpa said that this one was enough.

Then he cut down a section of the trunk and carried it back.

I used a knife to cut a peach wood nail, but I didn't expect my grandfather to take this peach stake directly, go to a carpenter shop, and then ask the master to cut a section of 10 centimeters of rectangular wooden stake with a knife, the size of a white candle.

Then it is still polished by the machine, polished into a cylindrical shape, and then the other end is sharpened into a conical shape, which becomes a nail.

The length is ten centimeters, the thickness is the thickness of a finger, all polished by machine, I heard that the current technology car beads can be as thin as half a centimeter in diameter, this peach wood nail is nothing.

After finishing it, Grandpa brought dozens of peach wood nails back to the hotel.

The basic materials are available, and now the most important step is to carve runes and paint, which has to rely entirely on hand, and it is very exquisite.

None of us can help, it's all up to grandpa's ability.

I sat next to my grandfather and watched him holding a carving knife, carving patterns and runes one by one, and I knew what it meant to be focused.

The carving time of a peach nail is about a day, and it is a veteran like grandpa, the speed is really not fast, and there have been a few times in the middle, and I don't know if I am not satisfied or carved wrong, grandpa actually abandoned the peach nail that is about to be finished.

I asked my grandfather why, and he just shook his head and sighed and said, "This knife is deep, and it may make the peach wood nail unable to exert its mana, so in order to make sure that nothing goes wrong, I will try again." ”

In this way, it took seven days to carve three finished mahogany nails, the protruding part was plated with gold, and the recessed groove was painted with red cinnabar.

After the finished product, there is another step is to bake and dehydrate, otherwise if there is a crack after the peach nail is naturally dried, it will be wasted, and the rune or pattern will not work.

Grandpa took the three peach wood nails, looked at me solemnly and said: "There is no one else here, just the four of us, if these three peach wood nails are all nailed into the evil body, even if the evil evil does not die, it must be greatly injured, this evil evil is very likely to be the river god supported by the Xia Liu brothers and sisters." ”

"Old Dao, didn't you say that you were pretending? really let Xiao Fan go to the bottom of the lake to nail the evil spirit?" The fat man looked at his grandfather puzzled, a little dumbfounded.

Grandpa didn't answer him, and then looked at me and Yuelan with a slight smile, and said, "It doesn't have to go down, but it doesn't say that it must not go down, put these three peach wood nails on your body, in case you go, you can use it." ”

"Old Dao, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing, why am I getting more and more confused?" the fat man frowned.

"Grandpa means that it's all up to the Xia Liu brothers and sisters to make a move, I told them before that we will use peach wood nails to nail the evil, now let's see how the Xia Liu brothers and sisters take the move. I looked at my grandfather and said, "Grandpa, are you saying that what I said is right?"

"You young people's affairs, you solve them yourself, not to mention your classmates. Grandpa smiled and said, "No matter what decision you make, whether you go down or not, grandpa will support you." ”

"Well, thank you Grandpa. "I still heard it from my grandfather's words, and he still wanted to find out.

Grandpa is not greedy for money, but as a member of Tufuzi, there are naturally all kinds of thirst for knowledge in his blood, which is the common characteristic of every Tufuzi, that is, once he encounters a fight, he wants to go down and see.

Of course, he is right, safety first, but this does not contradict this desire to learn.

Not to mention grandpa, I also want to know what is under the lake.

The day after I made the peach nails, I called Xia Mengping.

"Xia Mengping, the peach nail is ready. I said into the phone.

"Oh. Xia Mengping sighed lightly and asked me, "Then what do you want to do now?"

"What else can I do if I go down and clean up that evil one?" I couldn't help laughing, and said as a matter of course, "Otherwise, we would have spent so much time and energy making these three peach wood nails, and my grandfather said that these three peach wood nails would definitely kill that evil one." ”

"Oh. She sighed again, and her reaction was very flat, but it also revealed more and more their wishes, and they were very reluctant to go down to the lake again, as if they had no interest in going down to the lake.

But before I could speak, she said unexpectedly, "When are you going to go down to the lake?" ”

I was taken aback and asked, "What are you all ready?" ”

She said she was ready, maybe she had a new trap ready for us to play?

"My brother also went to ask the masters, and said that this evil evil may be the souls of those who drowned in the lake, and it cannot be transcended, and it has become the climate, and it is definitely not possible to exceed it again, so I can only destroy them. Xia Mengping said very calmly.

"Destroy them, what are you going to do?, have you found a way?" I asked, surprised.

"In addition to the mahogany nails you mentioned, we have prepared a large amount of cinnabar, and we have also bought a lot of iron sand from the blacksmith, which is taken out of the forges that have accumulated over time. Xia Mengping said.

I was amazed, they were also prepared, and they also knew the method of overcoming yin with yang, but think about it, they are from the Lishan faction, specializing in pouring water buckets, and they must also have a lot of professional knowledge.

"Okay, then tomorrow, tomorrow. "I thought about it and said.

"Okay, old time, old place. Xia Mengping said.

"Hmm. ”

The moment I hung up the phone, I was confused, what kind of trick they were playing.

The next day, just after dawn, we arrived at Nanhu, still under the big tree.

On the edge of the South Lake, that is, the fence by the pavilion before, has collapsed, and no one has come to make up for it, and at this moment there are two more speedboats, and in addition, there is also a sand mining boat.

But what is on this sand mining boat is not a fool, but some sand-like things mixed with red, white and black, which should be the iron sand and cinnabar in Xia Mengping's mouth.

We walked to the gazebo, where the two siblings and Kuroko were waiting.

"Uncle, what do you think, can I do this method? You are an insider, I am really afraid of being deceived, you give me a palm. Xia Liu put on a top hat for his grandfather again.

"I've bought everything, what's the use of palm eyes now?" My grandfather was not polite, and said with a slight smile: "But if it's the furnace sand and cinnabar from the blacksmith's shop, it must be useful, by the way, what is this white?"

"Lime. Xia Liu replied.

Grandpa touched his beard, nodded and said, "Okay, then you go and try it, we'll wait to see if your means are effective." ”

There must be at least several tons of cinnabar and iron sand on this sand mining ship, and if it falls, it will be enough for it to drink a pot of evil, and I will go down and make up for it with a peach wood nail, and that will be a big deal.

It's just that the evil spirits aren't their river gods? How could they hurt it? The only explanation is that they made such a big battle and acted for us.
