Chapter 175: Father and Son
I quietly went to my grandfather's room, and when I went in, I found that my grandfather's room was very clean, and I was afraid that my mother would clean it every day.
In fact, I also found a little problem, that is, after I came back, except for Aunt Zhang who mentioned my grandfather, the rest of the people, even my parents, did not say anything about my grandfather.
They all seem to be deliberately avoiding such a topic.
In fact, when I listened to my aunt's tone, they probably thought that my grandfather had been out for so long and hadn't come back, and he hadn't even brought back a message, and maybe no one could find him.
Secondly, grandpa's prestige in the village is very high, and many people in the family were sent away by grandpa, so they don't want to admit that grandpa is missing, so everyone doesn't say it, which seems to have become the most tacit answer.
Of course, if it were me, I would definitely not believe it, grandpa's skills are much higher than me even now.
I quietly opened my grandfather's closet and pulled out the small box from the hidden compartment inside.
Before opening the box, I still lit three sticks of incense, and when the incense burned out, I sincerely kowtowed a few times before opening the box.
Inside the box lay three coffin nails quietly.
I took out the gold nail and weighed it in my hand, and it was the most ornate coffin nail inside.
Because the gold nail is four inches long, it is divided into two parts, one is a silver coffin nail, and the tail of the coffin nail is a golden dragon head.
The carving of the dragon's head is very detailed, and even the dragon scales around the neck are clearly visible.
The coffin nail is poking out of the dragon's mouth.
Not only that, but the silver coffin nail is not sleek and four-edged, but a six-edged coffin nail.
There is a small groove in each corner, and this thing is the bloodletting groove.
It is enough to see that this coffin nail is a weapon in the true sense!
And this coffin nail looks thicker and heavier at the end, but the two ends of the whole coffin nail are actually the same weight.
I pierced the nail on my middle finger with the tip of the nail, smeared the blood on the nail, and then hung the nail with a red rope so that it hung under the beam.
Finally, three sticks of incense were lit underneath.
The first three threads are actually the so-called open-box incense, and the current three threads are the incense sticks.
Because the coffin has been enshrined for many years, it has long had spirituality, so if you want to use it, in addition to getting it, you need it to be able to recognize me.
It takes seven times to make an offering with incense to wake up the nails.
Of course, this refers to when I want to use it, if grandpa is here, there is no need to be so troublesome, just take it out, because grandpa has used this coffin nail before, so it has been approved by the coffin nail.
At this time, I heard some movement outside the door, and looked cautiously towards the door.
It's my dad who came in!
He saw what I was doing, and there was a solemnity in his eyes.
"Dad, haven't you rested yet?" I asked, pretending to be nothing.
"I knew you had come back to pick up the nails!" my dad sat on a stool and skillfully took out a piece of sheepskin cloth from the box and began to wipe the two remaining nails inside.
My eyes widened, and I had the impression that my dad would have known that my grandfather would do some white things, not to mention my dad's skill in wiping the nails of the coffin.
"Dad, you—" I asked, confused.
"What's the matter? You know how to nail the coffin, I can't understand something?" My dad still had some alcohol on him, and his face was a little red, so he was still a little slurred when he spoke.
I distinctly remember that my grandfather said that he didn't teach my dad at the beginning, so we were the only ones in our family who would do things in vain.
"You kid, why do you think you're a fool?" said to me angrily, and wrapped the remaining two coffin nails and handed them to me.
"There are five coffin nails, a twin wood, a heavenly resentment, a dragon, a Tongyou, and an immortal bone!" My father actually said the names of all five coffin nails.
Seeing my increasingly shocked look, my dad slapped me angrily.
"The twin wood is the wood of the yin, the peach willow twins deter the yin, the heaven and man are resentful of the yin, the copper essence is refined, and the yin is burning. Kang Long is the soldier of the sun, and the evil and the life are all nailed from this, and the darkness is the jade of the underworld, which can pass through yin and yang. Immortal bones are immortal relics, and they are the ultimate in coffin nailing!" "My dad may have told me all of this while he was drinking.
I feel like I'm drunk, because my grandfather only told me the first half of these words, that is, when I got to the point of resentment, and the rest of my grandfather said that he would tell me only if I practiced to that point, but why would my father know?
"Little rabbit, don't forget, the old man is your grandfather and my father! Although I haven't practiced coffin nailing, I know no less than you!" my father waved his hand and beckoned me to sit down.
"When I was young, I grew up in a big family, I was still very young at that time, but my memory is very deep, and it was the last time I saw my mother, that is, your grandmother, it is said that it is still the Zhang family. My dad opened up the conversation with the strength of the wine.
It turned out that my dad grew up in Zhang's family when he was young, and was later taken away by my grandfather, so my dad was also exposed to a lot of things when he was young.
And at that time, my grandfather was still young, so he was very impulsive and often left my dad at home to go out to kill by himself.
So my dad was very disgusted with my grandfather's actions since he was a child, so when my grandfather wanted to teach him the coffin nail technique, he didn't learn it seriously.
That's why my grandfather thinks my dad's qualifications are not enough.
It turned out that my dad was resistant to this thing because my grandfather had not been at home with him since he was a child.
That's why my dad was a little unhappy after I learned the coffin nailing technique, and he probably didn't want me to be like this.
My dad also said that he knew that my grandfather was not dead, because although my dad had a lot of opinions about my grandfather, he still recognized my grandfather's strength very much, and he also thought that there should be few people who wanted to kill my grandfather simply.
So in fact, as soon as I came back, I said that we went to work in the factory and my dad saw through it at a glance, and parents are always the people who know their children best, and some things will not be debunked.
But this incident was able to deceive my mother and the fat parents to be happy, and my father was not in a hurry to expose it.
"Since you want to use the golden spike, you think that your strength is almost up, but why didn't your grandfather come back with you?" my dad asked me again.
It can be seen that my dad actually said that he and my grandfather did not have a good relationship, but in fact he was still very worried about his safety.
So I told my dad about my grandfather's imprisonment in Zhang's house, and I originally planned to say that my grandfather was living in Grandpa Yuan's house to dispel the family's worries, but now it seems that there is no need for this.
"Xiao Quan, I know that when I gave up the coffin nail technique, I actually became a person from two worlds with you, in fact, I don't regret it, because I live a good life now, and I also hope that you will not regret choosing such a path. My dad said to me.
"When you started to learn the coffin nail technique, I had a fight with your grandfather, but your grandfather said that you had a chance to give up, so I didn't stop it, and now I see that you can tell right from wrong on your own, I ask you, have you ever thought about becoming a normal person?" my dad asked.
I was silent.
In fact, now I am also difficult to ride a tiger, in fact, I am now closely connected with my world because of the copper bell, and it is almost impossible to get out casually.
But after going through so much, I have also seen many people die because of this kind of thing, in fact, I also feel that this world is too cruel, and I also have the idea of wanting to escape.
"No matter how you choose to go, don't forget home, your mother and I are waiting for you at home, uncomfortable, tired, come back, don't be too strong, but! If you really choose such a path, then you have to remember that there must be a little outside, you must be firm in your own path, don't be disturbed by too many people in your thoughts, if you want to go down, this kind of road is too dangerous, once you hesitate, it will be a catastrophe!" My dad said very seriously, and I listened very seriously.
And today is also a new acquaintance with my dad, I used to think that my dad didn't know how to nail the coffin, so he didn't understand all the things I did, but now that I look at it, my dad's life experience is far from something I can achieve with ideas.
My dad smiled wryly when he saw that I was lost in thought, and returned with the smile of a villager.
"Before I knew it, I was talking a lot, I wasn't in this world, so a lot of things are just for reference!" my dad patted me on the shoulder, swaying and planning to leave.
I wanted to help my dad back to rest, but there were no people here, so I had to send it to the door.
When my dad was about to go out, he turned to me and said, "This is our secret, don't tell it, it's not good for your mother's stupid woman to hear it, hehe!"
Looking at the back of my dad leaving, I felt a little regretful.
Because it seems that my dad actually has a good talent for coffin nailing, and even the pattern or temperament is more suitable for my world than me, but he chose not to learn coffin nailing at the beginning, and he chose this path, so he kept going and never thought about looking back.
I watched my dad staggering to the bathroom, and then staggered back to sleep, and suddenly I admired him.
When I turned around and saw the dragon nails hanging from the beam again, my heart was even more determined in my path.
Since I have embarked on this road, I will suffer a big loss after all, so it is better to go on wholeheartedly, as for which step to go, it still depends on the result.
After the coffin nails were finished with aromatherapy, I took the dragon and played with it carefully.
Before using the nails, it is necessary to get your hands to adjust to the weight of the nails, and even the size of the nails.
Because from the moment the coffin nail is felt out, to the coffin nail is issued, there is not much thinking in it, only when the hand is on the coffin nail and immediately feels which coffin nail it is, can it be done faster.
And now that I can use the coffin nail technique, I need to feel the gold in it carefully.
It's just that the fat man's house seems to be quite lively.
I listened to it for a while, and it seemed that something was wrong, because the state of the fat man had been appearing in front of my eyes during the day, especially when I heard Zhuo Shu and Zhao Qian arguing.
Even my mom and the fat heard the sounds and wanted to go over and check them out.
I hurriedly stopped them, saying that maybe Zhuo Shusa was drunk and crazy, and I would just go over and take a look!
