Chapter 36: The Ink Fountain Seals the Coffin
"Qiusheng, Wencai, prepare paper, pen, ink and sword."
Uncle Nine and Ren Pingsheng closed the coffin together, and at the same time asked the two little apprentices to prepare tools.
"Huh?"
Qiusheng and Wencai were stunned at the same time, the two of them were patronizing and messing around on weekdays, and many things taught by the master Uncle Nine were forgotten, plus Uncle Nine was usually negligent in management, and now the two of them didn't know what Uncle Nine was talking about.
"It's yellow paper, red pen, black ink, kitchen knife, wooden sword, Master, I'm going to catch the newly bought rooster."
Ren Pingsheng also has nothing to do with these two junior brothers, after all, there is a master and nine uncles, and he is not easy to care.
Ren Pingsheng came to the yard and grabbed a rooster he had left before.
Back in the morgue, Wencai and Qiusheng had already prepared everything. Ren Pingsheng slashed the rooster's neck with a kitchen knife, and the chicken's blood was poured into a porcelain bowl.
"Master, everything is ready."
Hearing this, Uncle Nine nodded, began to adjust the spiritual power in his body, and then took out a grain of glutinous rice from the rice bowl, injected the spiritual power into it, ignited it in the yang fire, and then put it into the bowl containing the chicken blood. The bowl of chicken blood was ignited instantly, and Uncle Nine quickly poured in the ink, sealed it with a gossip mirror, and took out an ink fountain to drip the black juice in the bowl into the ink fountain.
The ink bucket is invented by the carpenter patriarch Lu Ban, in addition to the depiction of the lines, there is also the effect of subduing demons and eliminating demons, driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters, in Taoist doctrine, the ink bucket is also a pure yang thing, so it is the nemesis of evil things.
When it comes to ink fountains, we can't fail to talk about its inventor, Lu Ban.
Lu Ban, surnamed Gongyi, name class, word Yizhi, Lu people. His father's name was Gong Yixian, and his mother's surname was Wu. He was born in the third year of Lu Dinggong, that is, in 507 B.C., on the day of his birth, his family had a vision of a swarm of white cranes, and the house was full of strange fragrance, which could not be dissipated for several months, (in ancient times, the birth of strange people, nobles, and emperors would always be crowned with the conjecture of the occurrence of visions, such as the birth record of Shakyamuni Buddha in Buddhism shows that it is a hundred birds to the house, the gods descend to congratulate and the Brahma music shocks the sky), people compete to call it a miracle. In the year of the rain, the public losing class was seven years old, and he had the ability to teach himself, and his parents were deeply worried when he saw this, and after the fifteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, he began his own parade action, and in the process of wandering, he was able to understand all the skills of the master after a few months, and despised the poor peers of other vassal states, and called himself the king. Later, he lobbied the countries to hire him, but it was useless, and his self-confidence was frustrated, so he chose Xiaoheshan in the south of Mount Tai to retreat.
Because he is a native of Lu, he is also called Luban.
In ancient times, craftsmen had a low status, and sometimes some rich and bullies would default on their wages, which caused serious damage to the prestige of the foreman and the artisan industry. Lu Ban, the ancestor of the craftsman, wrote a strange book, called "Lu Ban Book", also known as "Missing a Door", the first volume is the Taoist spell of the whole person, and the second volume is the solution and medical spell. The purpose is to protect one's own disciples and grandchildren, and the rectification method in the "Book of Luban" helps to punish evil and promote good, and protect one's own interests.
Legend has it that Lu Ban was recruited to work in the national capital soon after he was newly married, because he missed his newlywed wife very much, Lu Ban made a wooden kite, as long as people rode up and recited a few spells, the wooden kite could carry him back to his home thousands of miles away to get together with his wife. His wife was particularly curious about this, once, when Lu Ban came home and did not pay attention, secretly rode on the wooden kite, and after chanting those few words of mantra like a gourd, the wooden kite flew into the sky, soaring freely, and Lu Ban's wife, who had always lived in the boudoir, was very comfortable. However, the good times did not last long, as the so-called sky has unforeseen circumstances, people have good and bad luck, at that time Lu Ban's wife was already pregnant, and when she was flying in the air, she suddenly gave birth and blood flowed out. However, the wooden kite was originally made by Lu Ban using a secret method, and as soon as it was defiled, the mana disappeared suddenly, and Lu Ban's wife fell from the air at once, and fell to her death along with the child in her belly. Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Ban regretted it, so he cursed that all people in the world who study "Lu Ban Shu" will definitely "lack one door", that is, widows, widows, orphans, loneliness, and disability must have the same, therefore, "Lu Ban Book" got another name - "Missing a Door"
"Wencai, Qiusheng, come here, play the ink line on the coffin, and the whole coffin must be played, and there should be no gaps."
After Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng answered, he took the ink fountain to play the ink line on the coffin, and Uncle Nine also took this opportunity to explain the common sense of zombies to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.
"People are divided into good people and bad people, and corpses are divided into zombie dead corpses."
Uncle Nine lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner.
"People are not only good and bad, but also men and women."
Wen Cai said a sentence very badly, but it was completely brainy.
"Speaking for the teacher, what are you talking about?"
Uncle Jiu's eyes widened, and Wen Cai, who had a hippie smile, immediately became honest.
"Old lady Ren's corpse is the corpse that is about to turn into a zombie."
Uncle Nine sighed.
"Master, how can a dead corpse become a zombie?"
Qiusheng asked curiously, he and Wen Cai had never been in contact with zombies before, and they had only seen the walking corpses with four eyes.
"Senior brother, a person becomes a bad guy because he is not angry, and the dead body becomes a zombie, because there is an extra breath, a person is angry, breathless, and sulking before he dies, and after he dies, he will leave a breath to gather in his throat, and over time, the corpse will not rot, and it will slowly become a zombie. Zombies can be subdivided into walking corpses, iron armored corpses, bronze armored corpses, silver armored corpses, gold armored corpses, flying corpses, and drought corpses according to their levels, and the higher the level, the more powerful they are.
Old lady Ren is a bit special, he was designed to be buried in the ground after his death, and his corpse generated a resentment, which prompted him to become a zombie.
Old lady Ren's cemetery has also been changed feng shui, so if he becomes a zombie, he will be directly promoted to an iron-armored corpse, zombies feed on blood, especially the blood of their loved ones, which will make them more powerful, so once the old lady Ren becomes a corpse, he will definitely find Ren Fa and Ren Tingting first. ”
Ren Pingsheng explained it to Uncle Jiu.
"Then you must deal with Old Lady Ren's corpse, otherwise Tingting will be in danger."
Wen Cai thought of Ren Tingting for the first time, which shows how much he cares about beautiful women.
"So you and Qiusheng must play the ink line on all sides of the coffin, don't miss anything, Master and I will think of other ways."
Ren Pingsheng told him that in the original plot, Qiusheng and Wencai were fooling around and omitting under the coffin, which resulted in the escape of the zombies that the old lady Ren had become, causing a tragedy.
"Got it, got it."
Qiusheng and Wencai said impatiently, the two of them felt that Ren Pingsheng, a senior brother, was good, but he was usually too wordy.
"Master, I'll live in Yizhuang these days and help you look at the corpse of Old Lady Ren, just in case."
Qiusheng and Wencai couldn't count on it at a critical time, so Ren Pingsheng could only go out in person to help Uncle Nine take care of Old Lady Ren's coffin.
"It's okay, you've worked harder in the past two days."
Uncle Nine nodded, feeling that the big apprentice was still reliable at a critical time.
"Master, you rest for a while, I'll go out and buy something to eat."
Everyone didn't eat dinner, Ren Pingsheng said a word, opened the door and left Yizhuang, and ran to the town with light work.
Not long after Ren Pingsheng left, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng ran into the main hall while fighting, but as a result, Uncle Nine was just about to reprimand them in the past, but they were hit on the head by Qiu Sheng's broom, and the bamboo poles were broken. Qiusheng saw that the opportunity was not good and fled, leaving Wencai alone, and Wencai was beaten by Uncle Jiu with two rattans to calm his anger a little.
After about half an hour, Ren Pingsheng returned to Yizhuang with a roast goose, two catties of pig's head meat and ten steamed buns. The three of them had a full meal and washed up before resting.
