Chapter 45: Old Man Lu
As soon as I arrived in the back room, the strange fragrance instantly became intense, choking me and coughing a few times, and it was even difficult to breathe.
Old man Lu glanced back at me, bared his big yellow teeth and smiled: "What, don't you get used to this smell?" ”
I puffed out my cheeks, and subconsciously fanned my nose with my hand and said, "It's okay, what kind of smell is this?" ”
Old man Lu walked to the root of the wall, bent down and tossed something, and said: "This is the corpse incense, which is mixed with the blood of a dead chicken and a black dog, and is prepared with a secret method." ”
"Vomit ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, I clutched my stomach and retched, what a!
"Hehehe, it's okay, it's made with a secret method, it's not poisonous." Old man Lu laughed strangely.
I cursed this strange old man a thousand times in my heart.
Nonsense, I still know it's not poisonous, otherwise you'd have died a long time ago.
But...... This thing is disgusting!
After retching for a long time, he finally suppressed the nausea, and Old Man Lu finally finished his things.
I saw him bending over and pouting his ass and taking a few steps back, as if he was dragging something with great effort.
It wasn't until he turned to the side that I saw that what he had dragged out was a piece of wood that was about a man's height and the thickness of an adult's waist.
I was wondering why I hadn't seen such a big piece of wood just now, and when I turned my head, I realized that there was a hole in the ground at the base of the wall, and the wood was pulled out of it.
"Boy, come and take the handle and carry this log to the front room." Old man Lu shouted at me out of breath.
I couldn't stand the smell of corpses, but when he said this, I quickly held my breath and walked over, and carried the wood out with him.
Back in the front room, Yichen was standing beside Yufeng with an anxious face, and when he saw us coming out, the first thing he said was, 'Is the puppet ready?' ’
Old man Lu pointed to the wood we brought out and said, "How can you be so fast, just get the materials out." ”
As soon as Yichen heard this, he immediately became angry, and he came up and grabbed the collar of the old man Lu and was about to do it, I saw this and hurriedly stopped him, Yufeng also hurriedly said on the side: "Yichen, calm down!" ”
Yichen's raised hand froze in mid-air, and finally gritted his teeth and angrily slapped on the coffin next to him.
"Bang!"
The coffin cracked in response, and puffs of dust were raised.
Old man Lu saw that the coffin he had worked so hard to make was cracked with one palm, but he didn't get angry, but just smiled faintly and said, "If you don't hurry up, you really can't do it." ”
Yichen glanced at the wood on the ground, snorted angrily, turned his head and walked out of the coffin shop.
I asked Yufeng puzzled: "Why did Yichen's predecessor make such a big fire?" ”
Yu Feng looked weak at this time, his face was not as ruddy as when he first came, and he moved his mouth and finally closed it again.
Old man Lu said on the side: "Boy, you'd better not talk to him now, he is one step closer to death if he vents a trace of yang qi now." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and quickly raised my hand to signal Yufeng to stop talking, Yufeng nodded lightly, gave me a look, and asked me to help Old Man Lu.
I turned my head and asked him directly, "Lu ...... Uh, Senior Lu, what do you need me to do? ”
I'm a person whose mouth is faster than my brain, and I almost blurted out that I became 'Old Man Lu', but fortunately I stopped in time.
Old man Lu turned around and picked up tools such as planers and saws from the table on the side, and said to me without raising his head: "Just give me a hand and hand over something, outsiders, it's better not to mess with this." ”
I was stunned for a moment, then reacted and stood aside silently.
Because Old Man Lu was quite tall, he simply sat on the ground, clamped the wood between his legs, and directly used a planer to plan.
Suddenly, the sawdust was like a flying snowflake, bursting up one by one and then falling again.
"Flat knife." Old man Lu said with a serious face, and I hurriedly handed him a flat-headed carving knife.
I looked at Old Man Lu in shock, I never imagined that his seemingly clumsy hands would be so flexible, like two fluttering butterflies, and it would not take long for the wood to carve out the prototype of a human being.
"Clean up the sawdust." Old man Lu squinted at the mountains of wood chips piled up under his feet, but the movements in his hands did not stop for a second.
I hurriedly took a broom to clean up the surroundings, and the old man Lu stared at the wood intently, and the carving knife in his hand was changed frequently.
In the end, I even saw a few afterimages, and in a trance, I couldn't tell which was his original hand.
After another while, Old Man Lu suddenly stopped the movements of his hand, let out a long breath and said, "Take a break." ”
I looked at the wood between his legs, and saw that the originally round wood was carved out of the appearance of a person at this time, and this person was the jade wind.
Looking closer, I couldn't help but sigh that Old Man Lu's craftsmanship was really amazing.
The jade wind he carved out couldn't even be described as lifelike, if it wasn't for knowing in advance, and the wood was only half carved, I really thought it was Yufeng himself lying here.
"Go, pour me a glass of water." Old man Lu's tone sounded not the slightest polite.
I had already been calmed by his hand, and I didn't care about the tone and unkindness, so I answered twice and hurriedly brought a glass of water.
Old man Lu was not afraid of hot water, so he directly tilted his neck and poured it down, and after throwing the water cup to me, he continued to carve the upper body of the 'Jade Wind'.
I kept carving until about five o'clock in the afternoon, and a 'jade wind' appeared vividly in front of my eyes.
Yichen also happened to come back at this time, but he didn't show the slightest surprise when he saw 'Yufeng', but just said lightly: "It's done?" ”
Old man Lu patted the sawdust on his body, and said with a sigh: "Okay, give me his birth date and essence blood." ”
Yichen snorted coldly and said, "I'll do this myself." ”
Old man Lu stretched out his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm just tired, you can come by yourself." ”
After speaking, Old Man Lu stood up on his knees, turned around and went back to the back room.
I wonder what kind of enmity Yichen has with this old man Lu, how can he ask for others and still not give each other a good face.
Yichen turned his head to look at me, sighed and said, "Xiao Zheng, you can go out first." ”
I knew that he was Danxin, and I saw Yufeng's birthday, so I didn't think much about it, and walked out of the coffin shop in response.
Each line has its own rules, especially in the yin and yang industry, there are many rules.
I was smoking a cigarette outside the shop alone, thinking a lot of nonsense in my head, and finally I didn't know how to think of Duan Yaqing again.
I've tried so hard to keep her in the deepest part of my heart and don't want to think about it, because every time I think about it, my heart aches.
I almost forget how long she has been missing, I just feel very sorry for her now, what happened to Lu Xueyao in the dormitory that day......
"Uncle Shi!"
Just as I was thinking wildly, Yichen's exclamation suddenly came from the coffin shop.
I was startled, and quickly threw away the cigarette butt and ran in, when I saw the scene in front of me, the whole person was instantly struck by lightning, stunned and speechless.
Yufeng,
The seven orifice are bleeding......
