Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Teeth

I thought about it for a moment and felt that it was wrong: "But, just now...... My heart is really quiet. ”

"It's just psychological," the second master put his hand on my shoulder and said to me with a smile: "There are two good barbecue restaurants nearby, one grilled fish is good, and the other is very good. Do you eat fish or masturbate? ”

I asked, "Which one has the best wine?" I want to drink. ”

The second master was immediately happy: "Then let's go and make skewers, they have home-brewed ale wine in their shop, and the taste is very interesting." ”

Since the second master said so, I didn't talk nonsense: "Then let's masturbate." ”

When I returned to the road with the second master, the hour hand of the watch had already gone between ten and eleven o'clock, and it seemed that the second master and I would not be able to return to the ghost string tonight.

For this, the second master looked like he didn't care, he walked on the road very leisurely with his hands behind his back, humming a little song while looking at both sides of the road.

I had to remind the second master: "Second master, it's almost eleven o'clock." ”

The second master nodded: "Hmm." ”

I said, "Where are we going to sleep tonight?" ”

He sighed at first, but then what he said had nothing to do with the question I had just asked: "I haven't had a good drink for several years, and when I was young, I was full of friends all over the world, and I could always get together at a table whenever I went to a place." But now, those old guys have passed away, and the rest are either useless or have long since quit meat. ”

As he said this, he raised his hand and pointed to a barbecue shop not far away: "If not, go over and ask if they have any home-brewed ale." I haven't been here in the South Side for years, and I'm not sure if it's this store. ”

I trotted all the way to the oven and shouted to the guy who was grilling the skewers, "Do you make ale?" ”

The guy was grabbing a handful of meat skewers and turning them back and forth, and he heard my voice, but he ignored me, and he had a very impatient expression on his face.

At this moment, the second master came to me, he raised his chin at the guy who was barbecuing, and said to me, "It's not wrong, it's this one." Last time I came, I saw this shoehorn face. ”

The man raised his head when he heard someone scolding him, he was glaring angrily, looking like he was going to kill, but when his eyes fell on the second master, he piled up a big smile at a very fast speed: "Second master!" What is the wind that blows you? ”

The second master also returned him a smile: "I'm hungry for your family's ale." The last time I came, I remember that you have your own ale wine, do you still make it? ”

The man nodded hurriedly: "Brew." Find a place to sit first, and I'll get you a skewer. This time it's still four catties of mutton, one catty of haggis? Do you want your waist? ”

The second master patted me on the shoulder: "You have to get me at least ten catties of meat today, this kid can eat more than me." Get him some kidneys too, haha, make up for it. ”

After finishing it, the second master asked me again: "How much do you drink?" ”

I said, "It's average." ”

The second master nodded and told the guy on the skewers: "Give me ten ties of wine, and I want to be old." ”

The man grinned, and then shouted into the shop, "Ten malts!" Take it from the cellar! ”

The second master took me to a table near the south, and while I handed the second master Maza, I said to him: "It's the first time I've heard that barbecue stalls sell meat by the pound. ”

"They only sell by the pound when I come." The second master waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need Maza.

Only then did I react, with the body of the second master, such a small wooden tie could not bear his weight.

It wasn't long before the shopkeeper came over with two beers, and when he had put them down, he ran back to the shop and brought a sturdy chair.

The second master sat on the chair and smiled at the guy, who said to us, "I'll take two bundles first, and I'll take them when you're done." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the oven, and the second master reached the heel of his shoe, because there was a table in the way, and I didn't see the movement of his hand clearly, but when he straightened up, I found that he had an extra handful of teeth in his hand.

Like the tooth in my hand, the one in the second master's hand is also a ten-centimeter-long knife handle, with a knife head less than two centimeters long at the top.

The handle of the knife is also engraved with deep lines, and the blade head is also not sharpened.

In fact, I have always wondered why this kind of knife, which is almost no different from a scalpel, is called "ζ’Όtooth" by the third master.

The second master submerged the knife head of the tooth into the malt wine, and the originally bright white knife head immediately turned into a faint blue black color.

"Well, it's okay, it's pretty clean." The second master said as he put away his teeth.

I couldn't resist the curiosity in my heart and asked the second master: "Second master, what are you doing here?" ”

The second master smiled at me: "I'll see if their wine is clean, just now the teeth turned blue and black, which means that this wine is still relatively clean." If the teeth turn red, it means that the wine is poisonous, and if it turns black, it means that the wine is infused with evil spirits. ”

I scratched my head: "Is there still a use for this kind of tooth?" ”

Second Master: "Why, didn't the third child tell you?" ”

I said, "When the third master handed me the teeth, he just said that if I felt cold all over my body for no reason, I would quickly take out the teeth." However, he also instructed me not to take out the fangs lightly unless I felt a chill all over my body, and said that once I sacrificed the fangs, I might be scared away. ”

The second master frowned: "Then, he didn't say anything else?" ”

Seeing that I shook his head, the second master sighed helplessly: "The third guy, this guy is too confused, I obviously told him to have a good chat with you about the origin of the teeth." ”

It happened that the second master was talking about this, so I took the opportunity to ask him: "Second master, in fact, I have always been curious, what is the use of such a knife that is less than fifteen centimeters long?" ”

"It's so useful," the second master leaned in towards me, and said to me in a low voice, "Do you know why this thing is called Hanya?" ”

I immediately shook my head.

The second master said: "I also heard the old lady say that the head of this kind of knife is forged by taking the fangs of the pestle and combining it with cinnabar and dark iron. ”

I took out the teeth from my pocket, looked at them carefully, and said to the second master: "Isn't the head of this kind of knife made of ordinary white steel?" ”

The second master took the tooth in my hand, pointed to the head of the knife and said to me: "The old lady said that this thing was dug up from an ancient tomb in the Xia Dynasty, and in that dynasty, our ancestors had not yet mastered the technology of steelmaking. ”

I also leaned over to the second master, lowered my voice and asked, "Second master, listen to what you mean, the old lady is a tomb robber?" ”

The second master nodded: "It wasn't until the forties of the last century that our old family washed their hands and retired from the Tufuzi's business." ”

I nodded, and after a while, I asked the second master, "What is Hanji?" ”

The second master showed an expression of disbelief: "Haven't you heard of Han Qi? Have you heard of the Four Great Beasts of Antiquity? ”

I said, "I only know that there is gluttony among the four fierce beasts." ”

The second master was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "It seems that what you want to learn now is not just a craft." Alas, trouble. ”

When I was talking to the second master, someone came over with a large pile of meat skewers, and the second master grabbed three meat skewers, ate a mouthful of meat, drank a big mouthful of ice ties, and shouted refreshingly.

I brought my lips to the large glass and took a big sip.

When I first tasted it, I felt that the taste of this wine was not much different from that of regular draft beer, but when the drink entered my throat, a fresh and sweet aftertaste appeared at the base of my tongue.

The second master is right, the malt wine brewed by this shop tastes really interesting.

At this time, the second master stuffed a handful of meat skewers into my hand: "Eat it while it's hot, it'll be cold for a while." ”

I beautifully ripped off a large piece of meat, chewed it in my mouth, and asked the second master: "Second master, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”

The second master winked at me: "What did I just say?" Oh, by the way, we were talking about the teeth. Let me tell you, although the tooth has the effect of warding off evil spirits, it is an evil thing in itself. If it weren't for the cinnabar and the dark iron that suppressed its evil nature, just by holding it in your hands, the three souls and seven spirits would be in danger of being devoured. ”

Actually, I didn't ask about this, but since the second master started talking, I didn't interrupt him, just sat opposite him and listened silently.

The second master continued: "You pay attention to these lines on the teeth, if the lines emit blue light or do not shine, it means that the state of the teeth is very stable, if the red light blooms on the lines, it means that the evil spirit is exposed." ”

As he spoke, he took out his teeth again, grabbed the handle of the knife, and shook it violently, and the lines on the teeth immediately emitted a blood-red faint light, and the second master also released the evil aura all over his body at the same time.

The people around noticed this evil aura on the second master's body, and they all looked sideways to this side, but they only took a quick look, and then turned their eyes away.

The second master leaned towards me, pointed to the blood-soaked fangs and said to me: "The evil qi on my body is strong enough, and this evil qi on the teeth not only can't hurt me, but can also be used by me." You are not as gifted as I am, and it is unlikely that you will have such a strong evil spirit, so you have to be extra careful when using your teeth. But you don't have to be discouraged, although your evil spirit is destined to not surpass me, but people who are born with strange veins are more suitable for practicing magic, so in the future, your attainments in magic and telekinesis will definitely be higher than mine. ”

As he spoke, he placed one of his teeth on the table.

I picked up my teeth and asked the second master: "Second master, you just said that I want to learn more than just a craft now. I just want to ask, what else do I need to learn besides the craft? We said that as long as I learn the craft well, no matter what I ask you, you will know everything and say everything. ”

"Well, what I said at the beginning, I still count." The second master said, "By the way, I have to tell you something." The group of people from the Little Demon King now know your identity, and in the days I left the house, they will definitely find trouble for you, so you have to be mentally prepared. ”
