Chapter 1 A carpenter is not an ordinary man

Next Chapter

My name is Wang Yixuan, nickname Wang Musheng, don't get me wrong, my father is not called Wang Dana, and our family has nothing to do with "Country Love". But I am indeed the son of a carpenter, our carpenter's craft is ancestral, as for how many generations no one can say, some say that the ancestor of our Wang family is a disciple of Lu Ban, I think this is to put gold on their faces.

In fact, the real records of our Wang family start from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the last years of the Qing Dynasty:

At that time, my grandfather, that is, my grandfather, helped people fight 200 knives for a living, but he didn't want the other party to be a "long-haired man" (Taiping Army), and as a result, my grandfather changed from a powerless carpenter to a rebel leader.

In order to flee the grandfather ran from his hometown to Henan, the grandfather in Shandong's hometown is a famous carpenter, once when he passed through a village, his body began to sell his craft in the village, whoever has a job to live in whose house for two days, it didn't take long for the grandfather to get acquainted with the people in the village.

Grandpa Zu thought that this village was good and decided to catwinter here, so he asked the villagers where there were abandoned houses.

An old man in the village said to him: "There is a big family surnamed Zhang in our village, and a few years ago their big house was haunted, and I heard that there were still dead people, so the whole family moved to the county seat." It's not a house to live in, it's just ,,,."

Grandpa Zu laughed: "Old man, there are no ghosts in this world at all, but if there are ghosts, I will beat a few coffins, and one of them will be sent to them!" ”

That night, Mrs. Zu moved to the big house, and there were all kinds of daily necessities inside, so it can be seen that the Zhang family was in a hurry when they moved out.

Grandpa Zu picked a room with a stove, and then moved a bed to this room, the ranking official may ask, isn't the room with a stove a kitchen? Why didn't he choose a house to live in?

In fact, Mrs. Zu has his own plans, once the people of the Zhang family come back, he can say clearly, and he can avoid the suspicion of "doves occupying the magpie's nest".

There was a big water tank in the house, and the grandfather went to the river to fetch a few buckets of water to fill the water tank, and after eating a few things, he fell asleep on the bed.

I don't know how long it took, grandpa suddenly felt a dry throat, especially wanted to drink water, it turned out that he was afraid of catching a cold before going to bed and added a lot of dry wood to the stove, so that the room was particularly stuffy.

Grandpa Zu remembered that he had picked up a bowl of water, and hurriedly picked up a bowl and walked towards the water tank, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one scoop up a bowl and poured it down, just when he felt that he was not addicted and wanted to scoop a bowl, he suddenly felt that there was something strange in the water tank.

I saw that there were two turquoise things in the water tank that were flashing and shining, but when I looked closely, a pair of eyes were staring intently at the grandfather.

Mrs. Zu was so frightened that he said "Mom", even the bowl was broken, he took a few steps back directly, and then sat down in the firewood, and it took him a long time before he reacted in fright: It seems that something has entered the water tank!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zu hurriedly picked up a thin bamboo pole to poke the glowing object in the jar, and poked it a few times, but found that the bamboo pole seemed to poke at the soft thing.

Mrs. Zu plucked up the courage to stretch out an arm and scoop it up in the jar, scooped up a hairy thing after a few scoops, held it in front of the fire to see, it turned out to be a yellow skin, Mrs. Zu saw this thing but relieved, thinking that this little thing was thirsty and slipped to the edge of the tank to drink water, I didn't want to fall into the tank and drown, the two glowing objects were its little mung bean eyes.

Grandpa Zu was very happy, after all, he hadn't tasted meat for many days, and today he would take this little thing to beat his teeth, thinking of this, he was going to scoop a basin of water in the tank to wash and peel this yellow skin, but he was stunned as soon as he picked up the wooden basin, because there was still a pair of green eyes staring at him in the water tank at this moment.

There was still something, and the grandfather scolded and stretched out his arm again to fish it up in the water, but he didn't catch anything after fishing for a long time.

Grandpa Zu began to be puzzled, he stared at the water tank for a long time, and suddenly realized that the green light eyes that appeared in the water tank were actually a reflection.

Mrs. Zu raised his head and took a closer look, and there was indeed something on the beams of the room, his eyes glowing green, and he was staring at him motionless at the moment.

Grandpa came to curiosity, and then he found a ladder in the corner, and after setting it up, he carefully climbed up the beam, and after climbing up, he saw that the thing on the beam was a tiger carved out of wood, the tiger carved vividly, its eyes will glow, because the two eyes are inlaid with fluorite, the so-called fluorite is what we often call "luminous stone"!

Mrs. Zu picked up the wood carving tiger and looked at it for a long time, and said in surprise: "This is pressing."

Pressing, also known as "disgusting technique", is said to be a spell invented by Lu Ban, the carpenter's grandfather.

Aversion is widely spread among carpenters, especially when carpenters encounter unscrupulous oppression by unscrupulous employers and withhold wages, they will use aversion to retaliate during construction.

When the employer moves in, the fortune of the whole family will deteriorate, and the family will be restless, sometimes injured or provoked by officials. In the worst case, they will suffer from a vicious disease, encounter a disaster, die of a child, and in the worst case, even destroy the family, so the aversion to victory is called a vicious spell among the people.

Finding out that it was disgust with victory, the grandfather calmed down, and he thought to himself: "Since I live in this house temporarily, then I have no reason to ignore it, and I don't know who set the rules, it must be during the day to perform the disgust, and the victory must be at night." It's the middle of the night, and I'll break it for him if I get it! ”

Thinking of this, the grandfather began to search around, and from the moment he entered the gate, he touched a fishing net under the threshold, which was to bless the master of the family to squat in prison; There is an air-dried dog whip hidden under the window frame of the west wing, which is to bless the family to look for flowers and willows outside; There is a half-cut saw pressed under the upper horse stone, which is to bless the owner of the house when he was out and was trampled by the car and horse.

In short, the more I searched, the more frightened I became, and the more I wondered: "How many people have this family offended to work?" ”

Looking at the things found, there are all kinds of things: dead people's hair, filial piety hats with bricks wrapped in them, large kitchen knives, and miniature coffins. As long as it was a place that Grandpa could think of, he searched for it all.

Grandpa threw these things into the fire one by one, and after cleaning up the buried things, he was ready to wash his hands and go to bed. But as soon as he approached the water tank, he once again noticed a pair of turquoise eyes in the water tank.

Mrs. Zu collapsed directly, and he shouted loudly: "What the hell is this time?" ”

When he looked at the beams of the room, he found that there was a woman hanging on it, the woman was pale, her bright red tongue was sticking out of her elders, and the most frightening thing was her pair of turquoise eyes.

Originally, the grandfather thought that everything was all right after breaking the disgusting technique, and he didn't even think that there would be any demons and monsters in this house, but the woman in front of him was obviously not a living person.

This is the first time that grandpa has seen a ghost since he was a child, although he knows some spells, but because he is too afraid, he forgot all those ancestral spells, he knelt directly on the ground in fright, and stumbled and said: "Sister ,,,, I just occupy ,,, and occupy the time to live here, I am not a bad person!" ”

The female ghost stared at him and said: "I know that Carpenter Wang is a good person, don't worry, I won't hurt you, I shouldn't have appeared in the wrong way, but there is one thing that must be done now, I can only beg you." ”

"You, tell me about it!"

"In three days, there will be a funeral procession in the village, you just need to put this rope around my neck on the coffin, remember, it must be in time before the coffin is buried."

After all, Mrs. Zu is knowledgeable, and he understood at the moment: "Do you want to borrow a corpse to return the soul?" ”

"Yes!"

"No, no, it can't be done!" The grandfather waved his hand again and again and said: "Our ancestors of the Wang family have a precept, don't go against the way of heaven, since you are dead, then you should go to the underworld to report, in the world of greed is not good for you, borrowing the corpse to return the soul such a thing that damages yin and morality, if you do it, you will definitely be damned!" ”

The female ghost sighed and said: "Carpenter Wang, the truth is not as you think, let me tell you the truth, I was the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, that day the servant Zhao Ergou saw me alone in the kitchen looking for water to drink, so he wanted to be rude, I refused to die and shouted for help, he strangled me to death in a panic, and then disguised himself as a false hanging.

After I died, I went to the underworld to cry out for injustice, and Yan Jun felt compassion when he saw that my yang life was not over, and he just calculated that my second sister's yang life was over, so I was specially allowed to borrow the second sister's body to repay my yang. ”

Grandpa Zu said, "In that case, I'll help you once." ”

"There's one more thing I want to ask you!"

"Huh? And ,,,"

"The last thing I did when I was alive was to take a sip of water, and now my mouth is even more dry, can you help me!"

"It's ,,, easy!"

Grandpa Zu hurriedly got up from the ground, scooped a bowl of water in the water tank, then set up a ladder, and carefully climbed to the high position of the female ghost, he gently brushed the long hair of the female ghost away, and then sent the water bowl to the female ghost's lips, only to see the female ghost's long tongue suddenly roll the bowl to the mouth and then drank the water in the bowl in one go, every time I think of this scene, I will always make up for the elephant eating.

After drinking the water, the female ghost returned the bowl to the grandfather, and then said, "Thank you!" ”

Just when Mrs. Zu wanted to say politely, he suddenly felt the long fleshy tongue licking back and forth on his face and neck.

Thinking that the female ghost was going to eat him, he was so frightened that he fell off the ladder with a "Mom", and then he fainted.

When Grandpa Zu woke up, he found himself lying on the bed in good shape, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Was I dreaming just now?" But this dream is too real,,,"

He glanced at Liang Shang and immediately froze, only to see that there was suddenly an extra rope on it at this time,,,
