Chapter 11: The Peachwood Sword

The Gu family will not live to be thirty years old, so they are very well prepared for their future.

For example, my father, although he lived to his thirtieth birthday, before that, the handover should have been made clear to me.

Title deeds, deposits, inventory lists, I don't remember what special incense my father left behind, thinking of this, I asked, "What incense?" ”

"Soul Fixing Incense!"

Chen Xi took out a palm-sized sauce-red wooden box like a treasure, and when he opened it, there were three thumb-thick incense inside, about the same length as a cigar.

"Calm the mind and calm the soul, especially suitable for those who have lost their souls and are about to recover from serious illnesses, these three incense sticks, at least this number!" Chen Xi stretched out his slap and waved it in front of me.

"Just these three broken incense sticks are 50,000 yuan?" The fat man looked incredulous, and reached over to take it.

"I won't show you!"

Chen Xi snapped and closed the wooden box, rolled his eyes, opened it again, took out one and handed it to Xiao Yu and said, "Sister Xiao Yu, this one is for you, just to expel the remaining yin qi in your body." ”

"I don't want it!" The small fish did not catch.

"Where did you get this incense?" I hurriedly asked, as far as Chen Xi's tone was concerned, it was obviously condescending, and it was strange that Xiaoyu could pick it up.

"This is my dowry, grandma said it was left by my father, and there is still it at home!" Chen Xi stuck up, hugged my arm and said with a smile: "As long as you are good to me, I will give it to you." ”

"Huh!"

I smiled stiffly, and twitched my arm, but I didn't pull it out, and my father and grandmother were hiding how much I had done.

Now it seems that there may really be three corpses in Grandma's place.

"Cowardice!"

Chen Xi glared at me, took the initiative to let go of my arm, twisted his waist and walked to the door, took out a soul-fixing incense, lit it and put it at the door.

"How do you use it?" The fat man asked curiously.

"Your sister-in-law, am I such a stingy person, I was joking with you just now."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "This incense is good for Xiaoyu's body, and the incense can not only calm the mind and calm the soul, but also dispel yin and ward off evil spirits, just so that you can sleep well." ”

"Sister-in-law is atmospheric!" The fat man immediately slapped himself on the back.

Xiao Yu didn't say anything, sat quietly on the side, still a little twisted, but he didn't continue to be strong, saying anything to leave.

After laying out the quilt and smelling the delicious sandalwood fragrance, several of us lay side by side on the kang and fell asleep.

Sleep until dawn.

When they got up in the morning, Xiaoyu and Chen Xi were ready to go early.

"By the way, if you have time in two days, help me make a peachwood sword!"

In the process of eating, Xiaoyu suddenly came to say this.

I was stunned for a moment, I was still stubborn and stubborn yesterday and said no, why did I have to ask for it again as soon as I woke up?

"What, you don't want to do it for me?" Xiaoyu put down her chopsticks and stared at me.

"Do it, do it!" I hurriedly said, muttering a little in my heart, Xiaoyu's state is not right, this is not her style.

I have known Xiaoyu for so many years, and I have never seen her take the initiative to ask for other people's things, even if it is me and the fat man, she has never opened her mouth.

When Xiaoyu's family was in difficulty when she was a child, every time she helped her, it was her grandmother who opened her mouth and she would accept it.

It's been more than a year since she came back, and she has returned them all.

To be honest, this character is not pleasant, she gives you something, you have to continue, if you don't pick her up, you get angry, if you give her something, she will never take it.

A very big woman, stubborn and twisted, and likes to preach, but this will, how can she seem to be a different person, won't she be possessed?

I looked at her suspiciously, I didn't look like it, the effect of the incense was still obvious, the little fish looked very good, the Yin Tang was red and bright, and there was a sense of vitality on her body.

"What do you want me to do? Do I have flowers on my face? The little fish reached out and shook it in front of my eyes.

"Nope!" I shook my head, and the corner of my eye swept to the fat man, who was also puzzled.

After eating, Xiaoyu went to work, we persuaded it, it was useless, she said that there would be no accident in the daytime, and she would call us if there was something.

Think about it, after killing the waterboarding ghost, there are no ghost marks, the person behind the scenes should be in a hurry to find the next person whose life is water, otherwise if it drags on, one of the five torture ghosts will be missing, and he will not be able to become a type, and the person killed this time will be in vain.

The five punishment ghosts are not simply people who have gathered the five attributes, and they can commit suicide, but there are two main conditions that need to be met, one is low luck, and the other is resentment.

In addition, it is best to commit suicide, the later the body is found, the better, and the later it is found, the greater the pain and the greater the resentment.

Therefore, the person behind the scenes, if you don't hurry up, is really easy to fail.

The fat man then went as well, and went to find me the materials to make the mahogany sword.

To make a peachwood sword, it doesn't have to be peachwood, mountain peach, willow, or thunderbolt wood.

The wood of the peach wood sword should be cut at 12 o'clock at noon, and it is best to choose trees that grow in the direction of going out to the south, the bigger the tree, the better.

Because the south belongs to fire, the bigger the tree, the more yang energy it contains.

In addition to that, there is also exquisiteness.

Before cutting, burn three knives of yellow table paper in the southwest of the tree, put a bowl of water in the west, tie a live chicken in the east, and insert four sticks of incense in the southeast.

Before cutting down the tree, the chicken was killed, and a bowl of chicken blood was poured on the tree, all of which were done to increase yang energy.

There is also a special way to cut down trees, which should be cut from the root of the tree 40 centimeters upwards, and cut from the place where there is a tree to the next finger.

After cutting, cut the cut tree into a sword shape and wrap it in red cloth.

After taking it home, carve out the specific shape, wash it with cinnabar, expose it to the sun for three days, then hang the sword up, make a fire with the cut wood branches, and smoke it for a day and a night, and the peachwood sword is really done.

Another taboo is that you can't carve at night.

This set is down, how can it take four days, only the peach wood sword made in this way can have the effect of warding off evil spirits.

The kind of random peach wood that carves out a sword and thinks it can ward off evil spirits actually has no effect, at most it can be peaceful.

I rarely make mahogany swords, because it's too hard work, and because I can't sell them at a price, so it's thankless.

It took four or five days, and it was a selection of materials, a careful carving, and a wash with cinnabar, and you said how much it was appropriate.

It's not too much to sell for four or five hundred, right?

But if you really want to sell it at this price, how many people are willing to buy it? If you don't know how to do it, you have to scold you profiteer.

To be honest, even if it sells for four or five hundred, I think it's cheaper, and this thing, if you make one, you may not be able to sell it in a few months.

Under normal circumstances, if I am not introduced by an acquaintance, I will not give it.

After the fat man left, Chen Xi and I were left in the store.

I looked at her thoughtfully, just like Chen Xi said, in addition to calming the soul of the living, it can also dispel yin and ward off evil spirits.

Chen Xi is not a living person, her current state, in my opinion, is a living corpse, that is, the initial stage of zombies.

It stands to reason that the soul incense will also have an effect on her, but she not only smelled it yesterday, but also felt very comfortable, which is not right.

"Husband, don't look at it, I'll tell you when I go back to my hometown tomorrow!" Chen Xi guessed what I was thinking, walked over and leaned his head on my shoulder, and said softly.

I rubbed my eyebrows, it's only a day, just wait.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the fat man brought back a piece of willow tree, left his things and left, saying that there was a job.

I didn't keep him, in fact, I told the fat man about the process of making a peach sword, he didn't do it, the key is that this product is too picky, cinnabar to wash the sword, the better the cinnabar used, the better the effect.

It is normal for the finished cinnabar to be five or six grams fast, and if you wash the sword once, you will get one or two, which is nearly three hundred yuan.

It's still the reason just now, there are too many people who don't know the goods, a big peachwood sword, if you want four or five hundred, or even one or two thousand, you will think that you want money crazy.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, I went to pick up Xiaoyu, and she had better stay with us before the peachwood sword was ready.

Xiaoyu didn't refuse, and after coming back, he chatted with Chen Xi, and the two talked and laughed, but I could feel the secret surge between the two.

The two women are in a fight.

Listening to the words of these two women, I found another suspicion.

Xiaoyu and Chen Xi talked about interesting things when we were children, Chen Xi behaved very strangely, she seemed to have known these for a long time, and her eyes when she looked at Xiaoyu were also a little strange, just like an adult looking at a child, giving people a feeling that Sun Wukong couldn't escape from the palm of the Buddha.

This kind of performance makes me more and more curious about her identity, and I am even more looking forward to returning to my hometown tomorrow.
