When I saw this situation, I was a little confused, only to feel a cool air rushing from the soles of my feet to my head, and the cool air eroded every cell in my body, making my speech begin to knot, and I said in a trembling voice: "Teacher... Brother, brother..., the plank... ”

When the senior brother heard this, he glanced down at the wooden board, his face, which was originally quite indifferent, frowned suddenly, and after a moment, he smiled indifferently, "It's nothing, it's just a normal reaction." ”

"How could it be a normal reaction." I was out of breath and said quickly.

He glared at me and said, "Little children, don't worry so much, stand there and don't move." ”

As he spoke, he put down the planer in his hand and walked towards the innermost part of the hall, where there was an altar with a pair of unlit red wax, an incense cup, and the ancestral spirit tablets of every household in this village.

The senior brother walked over, first lit the candle, and then took out three pillars of incense, inserted it upside down in the incense cup, and said with words in his mouth, "The sky is open, the day is auspicious, the emperor's descendants are high, the fierce god abdicates, the evil god is hidden, at this time, the longevity is built, and all generations are prosperous." ”

When he read this, the senior brother's voice was unusually loud, the words were like thunder, and the speed of speech was also extremely fast.

When he finished reading these words, he didn't know if it was my delusion, or what was going on, but a cool breeze rose from the windless hall, and it blew past me and went straight out of the hall, and at the same time, there was a dog barking in the village, and the dog barking was particularly terrible, and many villagers who barked came out.

"Senior brother..." I mustered up my courage and walked over to my brother.

"Why?" He glared at me.

I said, "Did you just have..." ”

Before I could finish speaking, his face sank, "Don't talk nonsense, just watch quietly from the sidelines, and then speak, knocking your teeth." ”

Okay, I'm also drunk, what kind of broken senior brother, don't you ask more if you don't understand, I asked like this, and didn't let me speak, many times, I wondered if my senior brother was neurotic.

However, then again, my brother told me what was going on.

He said that the coffin is generally beaten in the hall, because there are ancestors in the hall to take care of, and if the coffin is not made in the hall, the portrait of the ancestor Luban can only be hung there, saying that it can suppress some dirty things.

And what happened to the senior brother before was because the coffin was more special, to put it bluntly, it was a taboo to beat the coffin, and the ancestors in the hall didn't want to care, which attracted some dirty things, and the senior brother recited those words, which were special spells for the work of ghost craftsmen, similar to Taoist spells, but different from Taoist spells.

According to my brother, this mantra is called Gongshi Liyu, if the Chinese metaphysics is divided into five arts, mountain, medicine, life, divination, and phase, and this Gongshi Liyu is regarded as the sixth technique, summarized as words, and this Gongshi Liyu covers a wide range, here bread contains the five elements of yin and yang, feng shui Kanyu, house phase cemetery and so on.

It is also the existence of this Gongshili language that distinguishes us ghost craftsmen from carpenters, and it is said that carpenters who understand the Gongshi language can be called ghost craftsmen.

It's far away, let's get down to business.

When I heard my brother say this, I didn't dare to speak anymore, so I found a stool and prepared to sit down and watch my brother break the coffin. ”

I suspected that my brother deliberately couldn't get along with me, but I dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so I had to stand next to my brother, and found that he continued to tinker with the coffin board, which I couldn't understand was that the original coffin board had been dyed blood, and I don't know when it actually changed back to its original white paper color.

I wanted to ask my senior brother, but I didn't dare to ask, who would have thought that when my senior brother saw that I didn't ask, he glared at me, and his tone sank, "Chuanzi, what's the matter with you, this coffin board has changed color, why don't you ask, if you are like this, you can only fight a coffin for a lifetime like me in this life." ”

I... I... I was really speechless.

I had no choice but to endure the grievances in my heart, and asked timidly, "Senior brother, why has the color of this coffin board changed back?" ”

It's okay not to ask, this question, the senior brother's face sank suddenly, and he was ready to find me for something, fortunately, Wei Dezhen happened to send me and my senior brother sugar and boiled water, to say that my senior brother is also the person who forgot his junior brother when he saw the color, and his face immediately became serious, so he said: "Senior brother, this coffin board is discolored, because this coffin has committed a taboo, causing the surrounding lonely souls and wild ghosts to find the door, don't look at the senior brother just now to solve it easily, in fact, the senior brother has sacrificed his own Yang Shoule for several years!" ”

Frankly, I really believed it at that time. It wasn't until later that I finally understood that where he sacrificed what yang shou was just to consume some energy, the reason why he said this was completely to tease Wei Dezhen and make Wei Dezhen feel indebted to him.

Knowing the truth, I really want to say four words to my senior brother, and I am sanctimonious.

As soon as Wei Dezhen heard his brother's words, the two bowls of boiled water were originally one bowl per person, but the result was obvious, the two bowls of boiled water were drunk by the senior brother, and Wei Dezhen said a long comforting word to the senior brother, and I had goosebumps when I heard it.

In the next time, Wei Dezhen was probably worried about his senior brother, so he stayed in the hall, saying that he was watching his senior brother beat the coffin, and in order to show his skills in Wei Dezhen, the senior brother beat the coffin very quickly, and it only took an afternoon for the outline of the coffin to come out.

What I don't understand is that the coffin that my brother made out is only five sides, and the whole coffin is cone-shaped, the front part is very large, and the back part is as thin as the chopsticks.

In the evening of the same day, the senior brother said that the coffin must be rushed out within a day, that is to say, we must work overtime at night, strictly speaking, the senior brother has to work overtime, and I don't know what the senior brother is thinking, he seems to be quite happy to work overtime, just after dinner, he led me towards the hall.

On the way, he said to me: "Chuanzi, remember that waiting for the coffin is the most important moment, you have to watch carefully, I will only teach this time, whether you can learn it or not, it depends on yourself." ”

I hummed and followed my brother to the hall, where a wire had been pulled from the side room, and at the end of the wire was a hundred-watt light bulb, which was hung at the door of the hall with a wooden support, shining brightly on the hall.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the hall, my senior brother grabbed me and said lightly: "The situation at night is a bit special, you just stand at the door, remember, no matter what happens in the hall, don't come in." ”

I asked him why, and he said, "Why do you ask so much, just watch it and learn by heart." ”
