Chapter 405: The Love of Two Worlds
Mom already knew the details of Li just now, so it didn't take so much trouble for grandpa to find him again. But what is surprising is that after Li met his grandfather just now, he was not as surprised and excited as when he talked to his mother, but instead appeared plain.
Of course, when Grandpa met him, he was still making coffins in that house, but at this time the coffin was basically completed, and the sawdust on the ground had been cleaned. If it weren't for the fact that Li was still standing next to him, carrying the tools used by carpenters, people would definitely think that this amazing coffin was sold from some antique store, and definitely not from a coffin shop, and the coffin shop would not have such a delicate thing.
After looking at the coffin that had just been completed, Grandpa couldn't help but marvel at the dexterous hands of Li just now. But the first words Li just said to his grandfather turned his grandfather's amazement into surprise.
He didn't talk to his grandfather about feng shui, nor did he tell him about meeting my mother before, but he held up a copper Luban ruler and pointed to the coffin that had just been completed. Grandpa noticed that the Luban ruler in his hand not only had a measurement scale, but also engraved with the words "wealth", "illness", "separation", "righteousness", "official", "robbery", "harm" and "this", and under each word, it was divided into four small characters. Such a Luban ruler is now rare and rare.
This is not what surprised Grandpa, but what surprised Grandpa even more was what he said. He pointed to the coffin with the Lu Ban ruler and said, "Master Ma, you see, it is a treasure that concentrates on art. ”
Without waiting for the grandfather to nod or shake his head, he said: "The coffin is also known as the old house, it is specially designed for the deceased, and the workmanship is very fine. First of all, look at its materials, usually, due to the restrictions of economic conditions, the popular coffin is made of pine and cypress; The finest, especially particular coffins are made of very precious nanmu or natural crystal stones. And its appearance is also very peculiar, with a large front end and a small rear end, in the shape of a ladder. On its body, the bevel of each plate used is leaning, and each part of the shape should also reflect the bevel of the front and the back. The so-called coffin material is also called oblique material, the two sides and the lid are oblique with arcs, from the front of the wood head, the whole coffin seems to be a half-sided log. ”
After a pause, he said with a bit of the posture of Lao Wang selling melons: "What is particularly eye-catching is its exterior decoration." The front of the coffin is painted with the crane deer in the stele hall, two snow-white cranes are flying in the sky above the glazed tile hall, the hall is surrounded by green pines and cypresses, the front of the hall is the fragrant green grass, the middle of the grass is the stone step path leading to the hall, it seems very clean and elegant, the whole picture will decorate the whole coffin head like a fairyland room, the whole village is a quiet villa, the top of the material is written with the three big characters of 'Anle Palace' to closely link the head of the material and the coffin itself. On either side of the coffin are painted two golden dragons chasing and teasing the orb. Around the dragon are painted the weapons used by the eight immortals such as Lu Dongbin, also known as the 'dark eight immortals', as well as the guqin, ancient paintings, plum orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboos, peach pomegranates and longevity fruits, and there are 'Shoushan Fuhai' on the material surface. All the pictures on the coffin are made with techniques such as standing powder and gilding, as well as the deployment of pigments, which fully moves the painting style of the ancient Tang Sancai into it, making the whole coffin solemn and generous, with clear color layers and gorgeous order; The lines are flowing and smooth. After death, a person can be accompanied by so many material, spiritual, and intellectual Bogu Tongjin, and naturally he will be able to walk on the Huangquan Road with peace of mind. ”
He finished all his words in one go, almost like the owner of a coffin shop, and his grandfather was a customer who came to shop. Although grandpa knows feng shui, compared to Li Gang, who specializes in coffins, he is naturally not as professional as he is in the coffin. However, the last words he said made Grandpa a little uncomfortable.
Even if he was the owner of the coffin shop, that last sentence would definitely smash his signboard.
Fortunately, Grandpa was not a customer, and he was not a boss, so Grandpa laughed at his words. Grandpa didn't understand, wasn't he looking forward to meeting me? But why did you say these things when you met me?
Li just now seemed to see the doubts on his grandfather's face, he put down the Lu Ban ruler in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "But what is the use of a good coffin?" If you do bad things and good things in this life, you will naturally have good retribution and retribution in the next life; If you have done bad and good things in your previous life, you will naturally have good retribution and retribution in this life. What can a coffin do? ”
Grandpa heard what Li had just said, but grandpa pretended to know nothing, pretended to be very appreciative, touched the coffin whose paint had not completely dried, and knocked on the coffin board again. If the sound of knocking out is crisp and long, then the coffin is a good coffin. The coffin that Li made just now is naturally good or bad. The aftermath hovered in Grandpa's ears like a flying fly for a long time.
Li just listened to the sound of the coffin with his grandfather for a while, as if enjoying a beautiful song, and his face showed a little intoxication.
"One of the bias materials cracked." Grandpa withdrew his finger and looked at Li just now with a smile.
Li was shocked just now, and was stunned for a while, and finally a few words popped out of his mouth: "You...... How do you know? ”
Grandpa pointed to his ear and replied lightly, "Listen to the voice!" ”
Li just now suddenly collapsed, and said in a low voice: "Don't tell others." I'll admit that I accidentally split it when I was upset. My axe is not aimed at the ink line. ”
Grandpa smiled: "Look at how boastful you are of this coffin!" But who knows where you can't see it? Just like what you just said, no matter how beautiful you were in your previous life, it was only the appearance of the coffin. If you think about what you should leave for you in your previous life in this life, and what you should save for the next life, then no matter how much you do it is, it is like a skewed material with cracks, which is imperfect after all. ”
Li finally let go of the guard in his heart just now, looked at his grandfather with a melancholy face, and said slowly: "I think I was troubled by my previous life. If a man says he will love a woman for the rest of his life, it may be credible. But I've been in love with a woman for two lifetimes, can you believe it? ”
