Chapter 954: Sculpting the Yin God Statue
At this time, Kaohsiung asked, "What are you going to do?" and I said that Azan JOKE asked me to smash the jaw of my skull.
Kaohsiung snorted: "What I seem to hear is that he asked you to knock off the jaw of the skull instead of smashing it." "I said what difference is this, how to get it off if you don't smash it, Kaohsiung looked at me with disdain, pointed to the position of the skull ear, that is, the junction between the upper and lower jaws, and told me that this position is called the temporomandibular joint, which is alive, and the bones have a certain elasticity, and you can take it off completely by pinching both sides with your hands with a little force.
"It's not going to be broken, is it?" I asked. Kaohsiung said that even if it is pinched, the bad is the mandible, and Yu Ye only wants the upper part, and the mandible is useless, so he has to throw it when the time comes. Now I have the bottom in my heart, so I asked Wu Di to help, each of us pressed the two temporomandibular joints with their hands, and then pressed the forehead and lower jaw of the skull with their hands respectively, exerting force, and at the same time I pinched the hand of the lower jaw and dragged it down, repeating it several times, and sure enough, the complete lower jaw was taken out.
Wu Di said: "Boss Gao is still experienced! He can be an orthopedic surgeon." Azan JOKE, who was sitting next to him, snorted and said that every Azan understands this kind of knowledge, Kaohsiung looked at him and said that we are card dealers, not Azan.
Azan JOKE said that card dealers should also understand, Kaohsiung shook his head: "As far as I know, there are at least seven or eight out of ten card dealers who can't do it, so it's normal for Tian Li not to understand." AZAN JOKE'S EXPRESSION WAS VERY UNHAPPY. Strange to say, the complete skull looks very weird, especially the two rows of white teeth, how it looks like they are grinning. But after the jaw was removed, the skull was completely expressionless, and it looked even more eerie, more like a domain magic weapon.
In the afternoon, Papan came and asked when we would start working on the statue of the Yin Temple. Kaohsiung said don't worry, you found a lot of cash from Gansen in Namawang before, and said that you would invite us to eat, drink and have fun, now it's time to cash in. Papan laughed and immediately said to drive off immediately. I said we have two friends, can we bring them along? "Why not?" said Papan, "the more lively the people, the better!"
Except for Azanbuddan, Papan was driving the van, and I saw that the side of the body had been repainted with the words "KOKO Travel Company". I went to the jewelry store to pick up Huang Chengcheng and Wu Di, and I asked Papan to pick up Azannuo and go to Lele together. He was very reluctant, not because he hated running errands, but because he felt that Azannuo had no ability and looked down on him. I thought to myself that this Papan is really realistic, I used him to drop tourists before, and then every time I find someone to untie it, in order to make black money, and now he has seen through us that the mana of Azan Budan and Azan JOKE is far above Azan Nuo, and he began to look down on Azan Nuo, a typical snob, and he is now used and handed.
In the end, Papan still didn't answer, but called Azan Nuo and asked him to come over by himself. Azan Nuo said that there was something to deal with, and he would talk about it later. Papan was so happy that he said to us, "The six-seater car has to be squeezed into seven people, and it's just right for him not to go!" So the six of us came to a seafood restaurant near Chinatown, ate and drank, and then went to karaoke, and finally the horse killed the chicken. However, when Papan searched his wallet from Gansen's body that day, I probably glanced at it a few times and saw that there were thousands of dollars in ringgit and renminbi alone, and the total banknotes in the wallet would be two or three thousand yuan if converted into renminbi.
A few days later, at the urging of Papan, he drove me and Kaohsiung, pulling Peng Ma's bones to the ruined temple in Buriram. Kaohsiung hired several craftsmen who specialized in undertaking various sculpture businesses in the temple and began to reshape the statues. We told these craftsmen that the bones belonged to the abbot of the temple, and that their mana would not be reduced after death, and that they hoped that they would be molded into a golden body and continue to help the good believers with the Dharma in the underworld. This kind of thing often happens in Buddhist countries, such as the kind of flesh monks or pious laymen whose bodies do not decay after death, so these craftsmen did not think much about it. They do things when they are paid, and they don't care about anything else.
If I hadn't had to hide my eyes and ears and sculpt this "Yin God" with a changed skull in front of Papan, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen it in my life, and the statues in the temple were originally made like this. The craftsmen first brought in a white wagon, which was obviously sifted and quite fine, and the other craftsmen rode motorcycles with two large bales of things tied to the back, which I saw when I opened them in the temple were straw and cotton. There was a craftsman who could paint, Kaohsiung instructed him to make a draft on paper, and the three of us and the craftsman decided that after all, a human skeleton should be added to it, and it was impossible to use the traditional method of standing bones to make a statue, so in order to reduce the difficulty, this Yin God was molded into a standard sitting statue of Nyolai.
The craftsmen first used the soil they pulled and added water to stir it into a brown mud, and then cut the straw very finely with a small guillotine, and also mixed it into the mud. In order to speed up the progress, I had to follow the help and do simple, untechnical work, such as this straw mud. I chatted with the craftsmen as I worked, and they told me that this mud was not ordinary mud, but mud deposited on the bottom of the river or on the sides of the river, and this mud was sticky and suitable for statues.
As I worked, I thought, if there were no bones, it seems that the statue was first made of nails and wooden blocks and strips to form a simple skeleton, which is the so-called "bone standing method" in the statue, but now that there are bones, how can the bones be completely molded in the statue, and it must be strong and not collapse? Later, I found out that the craftsmen were very experienced, and they brought something similar to glue, sealed it in a vacuum-packed plastic bag, and after taking it out, it was a translucent white gelatinous substance. Use them to glue the joints of the bones together, and in less than two or three minutes, the glue will solidify.
After another half an hour, the glue has solidified relatively hard, and when you knock it with your fingers, you can make a dangdang sound. I said, "This thing is amazing!" Kaohsiung gave me a blank look and said that I was rare and strange.
"Boss Gao has seen this thing too?" asked Papan. Kaohsiung looked at him and said no.
In the blink of an eye, the craftsmen have used this glue to glue Peng Ma's bones into a sitting statue, because the human corpse bones are so high, sitting is only about half a meter, so the Buddha statue can only be so large. Then the soil mixed with crushed straw is slapped upwards, layer upon layer, some thin and some thick. The other two craftsmen tore the cotton into small pieces, and I helped to mix it into the mixed mud, which was used to apply the periphery, and I did not know why I added cotton, so I forgot to ask. In short, two days have passed, and this statue has already taken on a preliminary appearance. The craftsmen are still very experienced, and from a distance, the sitting statue is well-proportioned, but it is a little rough, and everything else is good.
