Chapter 21: Pure Yin
Father Niu seemed to see the doubts in my heart and said, "Are you wondering about the relationship between this Mr. Mo and your uncle?" ”
I immediately nodded.
Father Niu smiled: "Hehe, I also heard that your uncle and him are incompatible!" ”
I was slightly stunned: "Oh? And this matter, do they have a grudge? ”
"I don't know if there is enmity, maybe it's because there is competition between each other, just like I used to look at other carpenters and didn't like it, a truth." Daddy Niu said.
"By the way, why didn't the people of Li Village find my uncle to deal with this matter in the first place?"
"It is said that I have found it, but your uncle's opinion is the same as Huang Youcai's, that is, to dig up the body and burn it, but this Huang Youcai has just been killed by thunder on a dry day, who would dare to do this! So I took Mr. Mo's suggestion and planted a peach tree next to the Land Temple. However, your uncle said at the time, this method does not work, the symptoms are not cured, the evil spirit is only temporarily suppressed by the peach tree, once the peach tree is gone, I am afraid that there will be a bigger evil thing, I didn't expect him to really let him say it, in the end you still have to follow his method. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the peach stake in the corner of the wall and said, "Bring the peach stake!" Let's first saw it into a board. "I hurried over and picked up the mahogany stake.
Father Niu held the wooden stake with one hand, and while studying it carefully, he said: "This piece of material is really solid enough, if it is used to make a peach wood sword, it can make dozens of pieces!" I'm afraid it will take some time. ”
I hurriedly said, "We don't need that much, we just need to make two handfuls of the most central material." "According to the book, the masculinity in the center of the peach wood is the strongest, so the peach wood sword made is also the best.
"Only two? What about the other ingredients? Daddy's eyes lit up.
"You can watch and deal with the rest."
"Okay, I'll keep it for myself, and I will be the salary. haha! Daddy Niu smiled happily.
As soon as he said it, Daddy Niu took out a tape measure from his pocket, measured the size of the stake, and checked the drawing with the peach wood sword. And he began to get busy.
However, because he was missing a leg, a lot of work was not so convenient to do, so he had to let the fat cow do it.
I didn't expect that Niu Fat Man would be very skilled in carpentry, such as planing wood bark, inking lines, and sawing boards. This made me more and more impressed with him, and I immediately understood why he was so sensitive to lines and frames.
Half an hour later, the middle piece of the mahogany stake was sawed out, I picked it up and put it in my hand and checked it, feeling a little heavy, mahogany is a hardwood, dense, heavier than ordinary wood.
Daddy Niu raised his head and said to me, "The peachwood sword will not be able to make an outline until tomorrow, or you should go back first." ”
I thought that I had to rush back before Huang Yixian got home, otherwise if he came back and didn't see me, it would be troublesome.
So I thanked Daddy Niu, said hello to Fat Cow, and hurried home. When he got home, Huang Yixian hadn't come back yet, but he had already woken up, and he was eating at this time, maybe Uncle Zhai felt that he was weak, so he stewed a black chicken for him.
As soon as I saw the big bowl of black chicken, I remembered that I hadn't eaten lunch yet, and I suddenly felt hungry, so I didn't care about 3721, and sat down at the dinner table with a bowl of rice.
"Are you alright?" While eating fragrant chicken, I asked the cheap.
"My head is still a little groggy, this typhoid fever is really urgent!" He thought he was just hurting, and it was obvious that Uncle Zhai didn't tell him the truth.
I looked around to make sure that Uncle Zhai was not there, and said in a low voice: "You are not suffering from typhoid fever, in fact, it is the sequelae of last night's collision with the evil spirit!" ”
"What!?" The cheap was so shocked that the half chicken leg in his hand fell to the table, and his face turned pale suddenly, "Brother Yu, don't scare me!" ”
"Why am I scaring you! You scared me half to death in the morning! But don't worry, Huang Yixian said you're fine. ”
"My dad knows, too? Then what did he ask you? ”
"I asked, I told him that we cut down the peach tree next to the land temple in the south of the city."
"Didn't he hit you?"
"Not really. However, I got into trouble again when I was out there just now, and I guess I'll have to be beaten up when he comes back. I sighed.
"What's wrong with that?"
I told the cheap all about what happened today, and the cheap listened to me, and was stunned for a long time without speaking. He obviously didn't expect that we would poke out such a big basket last night.
At six o'clock in the evening, Huang Yixian came back, I was worried about being beaten, and I was nervous, who knew that after he entered the house, he didn't pay attention to me at all, and he didn't even look at the cheap, but asked Zhai Bo to close the shop in advance, and then called him into the study, and the two chatted in the study for almost half an hour, Zhai Bo came out of the room, and called me and the cheap to go in.
I followed the cheap into the study with apprehension, Huang Yixian was crouching in front of the desk to check something, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked worried.
I craned my neck to take a look, and saw a piece of yellow paper on the desk, and on top of that yellow paper, there were actually the corpses of several fragrant maggots.
I didn't expect Huang Yixian to get this disgusting thing back, in fact, I also thought about getting a few research studies at that time, but I thought it was too disgusting, and Zuihou still didn't dare to do it.
Huang Yixian slowly raised his head, and as soon as he touched his eyes, I immediately panicked in my heart, and hurriedly lowered my head, not daring to look at him more.
I was thinking about how Huang Yixian would scold me angrily, but his calm voice came: "I'm going to go on a long trip, you have to listen to Uncle Zhai at home these days!" In addition, I have a few things to explain, first, you two will be taking the high school entrance examination in a few weeks, so you should hurry up and review your homework! Second, don't go to the south gate again, especially near the abandoned land temple in the southern suburbs of the city, so as not to get into trouble! ”
After telling the two of us, Huang Yixian went out with the backpack containing the evil stone, and the corpse of the fragrant corpse maggot on the table was also taken away, he once said that he would put the stone into the white dragon pool in the White Dragon Temple, in order to suppress its evil spirit, presumably he went out this time, that is, to go to the White Dragon Temple.
Bailongguan is in Linxian, not only have to take a car for three or four hours, but also have to walk a long time on the mountain road, so every time Huang Yixian went in the past, he set off in the morning, because there were only two shuttle buses to Linxian in the morning and noon. And he set off at this time today, presumably he rented a car. I don't know why I left in such a hurry, and when I was leaving, I solemnly told me and the cheap people not to go to the vicinity of the land temple in the south of the city. Hasn't Li Fangtian's body been cremated, and the stones have also been taken away by him, what will happen to that land temple?
Out of curiosity, after dinner, I went to ask Uncle Zhai, but Uncle Zhai knocked lightly on the door of my head with his dry tobacco stick, and instead of answering, he smiled and said: "Hehe, you stinky boy, you dare to secretly follow the boss out in the morning, how is it, it feels uncomfortable to get out of the coffin?" ”
I blushed slightly, and argued, "I'm not following my uncle, I'm ...... I just went to look for my classmates and happened to run into them there. ”
Uncle Zhai's face suddenly sank, and he asked, "To be honest, are you and Zi'er secretly learning the art of yin and yang?" I didn't expect Uncle Zhai to know about this, so I was shocked and hurriedly denied it: "Uncle Zhai, you...... What do you say? Division...... Uncle Shi refused to teach, I ...... Where do we go to school? ”
Uncle Zhai smacked the dry tobacco stick, spit out a smoke ring, and said unhurriedly: "Don't hide it from me anymore, in fact, I already knew that your master once passed on a book to you, and you and Zi'er have been secretly learning." ”
"Ah......" I was stunned for a while, and I was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a while, Uncle Zhai actually knew it a long time ago, does that mean that Huang Yixian already knew?
The formidable wooden ruler suddenly appeared in my mind, and at this moment, Zhai Bo smiled and said, "Hehe, don't worry, I didn't tell the boss." ”
When I heard this, a hanging heart fell to the ground, but I was very puzzled and asked him, "How do you know?" ”
"I knew that two years ago! But at first, I thought you two were just watching and playing out of curiosity, until I recently found out that you two stole the yellow table paper in the shop and used it to make talismans, so I knew that I was ready to practice! ”
I stammered and explained, "Because...... Because of this...... This is my Master's last wish, ...... so I ...... I'm going to ......."
Before I could finish speaking, Zhai Bo interrupted me: "I know! It's no wonder you! In fact, you must feel strange in your heart, why the boss resolutely refuses to let the two of you touch this kind of thing. ”
"Didn't he say he was afraid of delaying our studies?" This is Huang Yixian's excuse all along.
Zhai Bo shook his head: "It has nothing to do with this!" Let me tell you the truth, that's because neither of you are suitable for the business of Mr. Yin and Yang. ”
"Why?" I was slightly stunned.
"The first condition for being Mr. Yin and Yang is to have this eight-character life. Therefore, before entering the master's door, you generally have to match the eight characters first, and only if the eight characters are right, can you be accepted as an apprentice. And you were chosen by your master, everyone didn't know what the eight characters were, and the boss naturally didn't dare to teach you. ”
"What about the cheap, is it because the eight characters don't match?"
"Alas, not only did it not match, the eight characters of the cheap child are pure yin, and it is impossible to be Mr. Yin and Yang."
As soon as Zhai Bo's words were finished, a cheap voice suddenly came from outside the door: "What!?" "It turns out that this kid has been eavesdropping outside the door all along.
