Chapter Twenty-Four: A Waiting for the Middle of Hebei
Tang Yi is not only bold, but also careful. Not only did I buy two large boxes of at least ten catties of sauce bones, but I also sent a few vegetarian dishes and two bottles of soju with a moderate degree.
In the blink of an eye, Monk Jinghai had already gnawed four or five half-drawn stick bones, drank a small half bottle of wine, and was sucking the bone marrow with a straw at this time.
I said, "Master, you are really a living Buddha." I've never figured it out, how can you still eat and drink the wine and meat of a living person when you're a ghost? β
Jing Hai held the bone and glanced at me, and waited until he finished sucking the bone marrow in it before smacking his mouth and saying:
"Not to mention that the wine and meat have passed through the intestines, the Buddha has left it in his heart. Just to say that our family is the dragon and phoenix among people, and after living for all these years, why can't we have a little privilege? β
'Still among the dragons and phoenixes, does the old girl go out with a face? β
I cursed in my heart, looking at his eating appearance, but I also moved my index finger.
As soon as he beckoned Ji Yayun to eat first, Jing Hai suddenly said: "Don't be busy eating first, we haven't been much before, but when we get here, our family is a little unsure." Don't talk about it, just the kid surnamed Zhang, how do you see how the road is wrong. The Buddha saw that his eyes were obscene, and he would definitely pester this girl. Precautions must be taken as soon as possible, Boss Xu, you can take two things and give her something. β
I was stunned: "What to give her?" β
"Tsk, why are you so unenlightened?" Jing Hai pointed to Ji Yayun's suitcase, "It's the bag of things that Hou Jinhua handed you before he died!" β
Hou Jinhua is Di Fusheng's wife, and after she died, Di Fusheng handed me a leather bag, and only told me afterwards that it was Hou Jinhua's reward for me.
This trip to the Northeast, from the agreed to the departure, the time to prepare for the full calculation was less than half an afternoon. I've always been lightweight, and I don't want to go home and see people I don't want to see, so I only buy a few clothes for the inside and outside.
There were a lot of miscellaneous things in the leather bag, and I didn't look at it carefully, except for the magnet 'bowl' handed over to Di Fusheng and Dou Dabao, and the rest were all packed into a simple bag. Temporarily placed in Ji Yayun's box.
At this time, after listening to Jinghai's words, he took out the things in the Jianxing bag one by one, and when he took out a metal pipe, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Jing Hai grinned, "Looks familiar, right?" β
I said, "You're knowingly asking." When I was in that abandoned house, Di Fusheng grabbed my neck from behind, and it was this pipe that Hou Jinhua used to get him at that time. β
I looked at it carefully, and it was only the length of a normal pen. In fact, in addition to being about the thickness of the index finger, this thing really looks like a ballpoint pen, with a thin hole at the tip and a press spring at the back.
Seeing that I couldn't keep fiddling, Jing Hai hurriedly said, "Eh, don't mess around." If you really take it apart and you can't go back, then this treasure will be wasted! β
I said, "I don't know if this is a baby, so you can just say that Di Fusheng pinched me at that time, and what was the white gas that spewed out of the pipe?" β
Jing Haixu was full and wiped his mouth, but said, "Do you know who created the wrench you are wearing now?" Oh, the drawing of this wrench is true that I got it from a thief, and the drawing has the name of the person who designed itβJizhongyi! β
Ji Yayun also knew a little about the origin of the Ruyi wrench, and roughly knew the 'glorious history' of Jinghai, so she couldn't help but ask:
"You mean, the designer of the Ruyi wrench is a Hou Ye in Jizhong?"
I said, "It's not Master Hou, it's surnamed Hou." β
Jing Haiqi said: "Why, do you also know the Hou family in Jizhong?" β
I nodded, "Liu Bing's dragon-seeking ruler is from the Hou family." It turned out that Hou Jinhua was a descendant of the Hou family. β
I explained to Ji Yayun that the mechanism door is also one of the eight outer lines, and he is good at building mechanism pins. The blind man once said that his dragon ruler was ordered by his master who spent two hundred and seventy-two yuan to find someone from the Hou family in Jizhong.
Why is it two hundred and seventy-two, the blind man also said. When he built the dragon ruler, although it was already after liberation, his master used two hundred and seventy-two yuan heads, that is, silver dollars, to ask the people of the Hou family to build it.
Even now, the price of two hundred and seventy-two yuan is in the millions, not to mention back then.
Jinghai said: "You may have already discovered that this wishful wrench in your hand is not used by ordinary thieves. In the early years, I also had a contact with the Hou family in Jizhong because I was curious about the origin of the drawing of the wrench. At that time, the Buddha had already become a monk, and he became good friends with an old man of the Hou family, and lived in his village for several days, and finally had a deeper understanding of this 'one door'. β
I grasped the metal pipe in my hand, and remembered that Hou Jinhua had said that those willow Huaisang twelve yuan were made by her, and I couldn't help but ask Jinghai:
"It is said that Jizhong is not only good at pin tools, but also has someone to create torture tools for Yin Si, is this true?"
Jing Hai waved his hand, "There are living people casting Yin weapons, and it is true that Yiyi Hou once created a special thing, and it was later used by Yin Si, but it was an accident in an accident. No matter how clever the craftsmanship of the living is, if there is no spiritual material, how can they go to this point? β
The old monk changed his words: "However, the utensils created by the Hou family are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people, this is true." That's because the ancestor of the Hou family once got three pages of Luban books by chance. Those who study Lubanshu will inevitably suffer from five evils and three deficiencies, and Lubanshu is also known as a lack of a course.
The ancestor of the Hou family was also wise, and in order to save future generations from retribution, he simply divided the three pages of paper into two, and the other two brothers in the clan each took two and a half of them. And made a vow that once the three brothers learned the contents of the book, they would destroy it immediately, and only dictate the contents of the book to future generations, and not allow future generations to teach each other their skills.
It is precisely because the people of the Hou family follow the ancestral teachings that the Hou family has not been punished by heaven and has been prosperous for nearly three hundred years. Because of this, the descendants of the three rooms got a congratulatory number. Later, the situation was turbulent, and after several wars, the descendants of the Hou family had to go their separate ways and go to the end of the world. But even so, the craftsmanship of Jizhong has been surpassed by no one until today.
Because, the book of Luban has long been lost......"
Speaking of this, the old monk's eyes lit up steeply, "Boss Xu, you have got so many pins from the Hou family this time, but you have taken a big advantage." β
I placed the metal tube on the table and shook my head, "According to you, these things I don't understand are really treasures." It's a pity that Hou Jinhua died, and so did her and Di Fusheng's children...... I am afraid that her skills are declining more and more, and after a long time, they will eventually be lost. β
