"Umbrella?" When Su Anlin heard this, he also laughed dumbly.

Most people in ancient times were superstitious, as if the fortune teller they met before was actually just a liar.

Su Anlin felt that the things here were also false.

Who knows, the shopkeeper said: "Although I haven't bought it, I heard that the price of a divine umbrella is not cheap, and many dignitaries will buy it, some go to eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, and some just want to be auspicious." ”

"For example, there used to be a rich man, I heard that one of his concubines died in childbirth, and then the family was not peaceful, haunted, some people said that it was the most brother, mother and son, and if it was not good, the family would be ruined, and the whole family would not stay! Then he went and begged for a divine umbrella, and guess how much money it spent? ”

Su Anlin was curious: "Thousand? ”

"Ten thousand! That's 10,000 taels! ”

Wang Laifu was dumbfounded.

"What's the matter, an umbrella is so expensive? Crazy, fascinated, the rich man must be fascinated, how could he buy such an expensive umbrella and be deceived. ”

The shopkeeper said: "No way, at that time, more than 20 people died in the rich man's family, and no one could solve the problem of mother and son, and in the end he had no choice but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and in the end guess what?" Once you bring the umbrella home, you'll be fine! ”

Wang Laifu said: "There are not many rich people who can get 10,000 taels of silver, which one is it?" ”

"I don't know about that."

Wang Laifu sneered: "That must be fake, I guess it's a story made up by a storyteller." ”

"No, this is true, but when it happened to the ancestors of the Lu family, hundreds of years should have passed, that is, since that incident, the umbrella made by the Lu family has gradually become famous."

The shopkeeper said with an oath.

He was born and raised here, and he had heard these stories since he was a child, so he assumed they were true.

After all, everyone around me thinks so.

Su Anlin said: "Since this divine umbrella is so powerful, he should be able to solve the matter of the woman holding the umbrella, right?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "Although I said that, the umbrella is mainly a town house, and the woman holding the umbrella doesn't know where she appeared, so I can't get it!" As for those who have fallen into the evil spirit, it seems that there is no way to do it, but some people have bought it, but it doesn't seem to be of much use. ”

Wang Laifu sneered: "I'll just say, it's definitely useless." ”

"Anyway, I'll check it out later." Su Anlin was also very interested in this story.

He estimated that the so-called divine umbrella should be a certain type of magic weapon, so it can drive away evil spirits.

But this has to do with the methods and strength of the man.

He guessed that maybe the ancestors of the Lu family had a powerful person who could make a divine umbrella, but now, he must be lonely.

After all, if the umbrella was still so powerful now, it would have spread all over the world a long time ago, so how could it be the turn of ordinary people to afford it?

During the meal, Su Anlin listened to the diners around him, intentionally or unintentionally.

This is also the purpose of him sitting here, sitting here, so that it is more convenient to listen to some gossip.

It's a pity that these diners don't seem to care about the woman holding the umbrella, and most of the chatter is about the story of the wind and snow.

There was another gardenia lamp shop in the town, and there was a thirty-year-old young woman in it.

What is the Oiran in the spring building is as glamorous as a flower, and now the price has been reduced again, and the five-year big reward for his debut is one zero less than before.

Su Anlin was a little disappointed.

However, it can also be seen from the side that the woman holding the umbrella is not making much noise.

Maybe a few people died, but only on a small scale.

After eating and drinking, Su Anlin decided to go to the Lu family, where the umbrella was made, to have a look.

He now guessed that if the woman with the umbrella was evil, the white umbrella might be a feminine thing.

So, what is the origin of this umbrella?

There are only three umbrella makers in the town.

The Lu family is the largest, and the other two are ordinary umbrellas, and the prices are very cheap and almost negligible.

The Lu family is at the foot of a mountain, and the surrounding area is inaccessible.

Wang Laifu knew this place, and with his previous memories, he came here in circles.

Soon, Su Anlin saw a big red mansion in the distance, and the door was a red lacquered gate.

If you look at the scale, it is easy to see that this was a large family in the past.

But now, the appearance is old, and the red paint gate is mottled with paint and rust.

The whole house, outside is a dilapidated courtyard, dry flowers and plants, a lifeless appearance.

Su Anlin walked forward, thought for a while, and said, "Wang Laifu will go in with me, and the others will wait." ”

If there are too many people, it will arouse the vigilance and disgust of others.

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

I knocked on the door and waited for it to ring before it opened.

The door was opened by a man in his thirties, with a somewhat haggard face.

is young, but he doesn't take care of his hair, his beard is scumbag, and he looks decadent.

"You want an umbrella?" The man got straight to the point and asked directly.

"Yes." Su Anlin nodded: "By the way, ask something more." ”

After Su Anlin got closer, his brows furrowed slightly.

This man still smells of sweat......

It's been a few days since you took a shower?

"Lu Qingshan, what about breakfast, didn't you make breakfast? What are you eating, what time has it been, and you haven't cooked yet! ”

"Do you want to live this day!"

"Bang dang...... Bang dang ......"

Soon, a woman's shout was heard in the house, and the sound of pots and pans falling to the ground, and the cry of a baby.

Lu Qingshan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, two masters, insider...... The insider's temper is a little bad......"

"It doesn't matter, you go and get busy with yours first."

Su Anlin smiled.

"Then you wait in the courtyard for a while, and I'll coax the insiders to come."

Lu Qingshan hurriedly walked inside.

As soon as he left, Wang Laifu muttered: "Son, this person's original name is Lu Qingshan, and he is too powerful, it took us a lot of time to have breakfast and come over, so they had breakfast." Marrying such a daughter-in-law is really bad for eight lifetimes. ”

Su Anlin said: "We don't need to ask more about other people's family affairs. ”

"Yes, yes, childe, look here, there are a lot of umbrellas."

In the entire courtyard, in the corner of the east wall, there are a variety of colorful umbrellas.

The craftsmanship of the umbrella is very delicate and varies.

Su Anlin walked over and picked up an umbrella casually.

The handle is made of special wood and has a refreshing fragrance wafting from it.

"That's good."

Su Anlin also liked the umbrella at a glance.

Just as he was looking at the umbrella, a woman's cursing voice came from the back room.

"What kind of breakfast did you cook, just eat it for me, you feed the pigs!"

Bang dang!

It was the sound of pots and pans falling to the floor.

"I'll do it again, do it again."

Lu Qingshan said in a low voice.

In this scene, Rao is Su Anlin has a better temper and can't stand it anymore.

As the head of the family, Lu Qingshan is busy before and after, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't help as a daughter-in-law, he still yells at Lu Qingshan, which is really unbearable.

However, this is a family matter, and Su Anlin should not have seen it.

Walking into the lobby casually, it is antique, and it looks like it was cleaned up very magnificently.

"Childe, do you see anything?" Wang Laifu quietly followed behind and asked in a low voice.

Su Anlin shook his head.

He really didn't see anything.

Even if it is that Lu Qingshan, the blood bar is only 67.

Typical ordinary people.

It is difficult for such a person to be associated with evil spirits.

Su Anlin planned to ask him about the woman holding the umbrella later.

"Daughter-in-law, the rice is ready." Lu Qingshan said in a low voice inside: "There are still guests outside, I'll go out first, don't be angry, you still have to take the child, the child is innocent." ”

"Hmph, you still know that you are innocent, you will get revenge sooner or later." The woman yelled.

Lu Qingshan sighed: "I'll go out first......"

Lu Qingshan walked out of the room, his face was a little embarrassed: "Two masters, let you see each other." ”

Wang Laifu said bluntly: "Master Lu, your daughter-in-law has a bit of a big temper. ”

"Hey...... She used to be very good ......."

Lu Qingshan seems to have something unspeakable.

Speaking of which, keep your mouth shut.

"How do you sell this umbrella?" Su Anlin was holding a black umbrella in his hand.

"Eight hundred wen is enough."

Wang Laifu was surprised: "That's not cheap." ”

"The umbrellas we sell here are not made of ordinary materials, so the price will be more expensive." Lu Qingshan explained.

Su Anlin asked: "When I came, I heard that most of the umbrellas you sell are used for red and white ceremonies, and some people use them to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, I wonder if there is such a thing?" ”

"yes, did something happen to you?" Lu Qingshan asked.

"It's a little bit of a thing, but I don't know if you're real, can you really ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters?"

Su Anlin asked rhetorically.

Speaking of this, Lu Qingshan said very confidently: "Don't worry about this, our Lu family paper umbrella is famous, and the outside world says that it is a divine umbrella, not to mention warding off evil spirits and eliminating disasters, and even ............."

When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, and he stopped talking.

"Anyway, I'm not going to lie."

Saying that, Lu Qingshan said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you something." ”

He quickly pulled out a yellowed estimate from the back room.

"What is this?" Su Anlin was curious.

"Umbrella Notes, my family heirloom treasure, the things of my ancestors, show you how many years our umbrella has been made."

He opened the book, Su Anlin glanced at the year of the umbrella, and was directly shocked.

"More than 500 years ago!"

This book was written more than 500 years ago!

Lu Qingshan said proudly: "Yes, that's why I said, this is the stuff of the ancestors, our first ancestor was originally just a person who had practiced some kung fu, at that time, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, and the ancestor worked with an old craftsman who made umbrellas in order to eat a bite of food." ”

"That old craftsman is not an ordinary person, everyone calls him a half-immortal, he can deal with evil spirits, if ordinary gangsters dare to provoke him, they will be rectified by him."

After that, the old craftsman was old, but he was always alive and well, and his health was better than that of the young man! Guess how long he lived? ”

Wang Laifu asked suspiciously: "A powerful martial artist, living three hundred years old is considered an advanced age." ”

Lu Qingshan said: "That's a powerful martial artist, but that old craftsman must be an ordinary person, because the old ancestor said in this note that he has never seen an old craftsman practice martial arts." ”

"And how old did he live?"

"334 years old!" Lu Qingshan said: "When I met my ancestor, I had already lived for 304 years. ”

"Hiss...... Wang Laifu was incredulous: "Good, really fake?" ”

Lu Qingshan was a little unhappy: "What are you lying to, how can the things recorded by our ancestors be fake?" ”

Su Anlin said: "Then how did he live so long?" ”

"Because he's a half-immortal."

"Half-immortal, I guess, if he has lived so long, will it have something to do with the umbrella? Otherwise, I wouldn't be making an umbrella for the rest of my life, would I? ”

Su Anlin's words made Lu Qingshan's face move slightly.

Su Anlin continued: "Master Lu, I don't know if you can show me this umbrella book?" ”

"I'm sorry, this is the stuff of my ancestors, it's all the craft of making umbrellas, and it can't be passed on."

Su Anlin said: "Understand, I can give out some silver, don't worry, I just look at it, I won't read the chapters on the process." ”

"This ......"

Hearing that there was money to take, Lu Qingshan suddenly moved his mind.

"Master Lu, my son-in-law is sincere and will not treat you badly." Wang Laifu took out a gold ingot.

"We're all in business, but we don't care about your umbrella craft."

Su Anlin continued.

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan nodded vigorously: "Yes." ”

"Okay, deal."

Su Anlin motioned for Wang Laifu to give him the gold, and then he took the book.

There was a musty smell on the books, and it was indeed a few years old.

Lu Qingshan found a stool for Su Anlin, served tea, and let Su Anlin read slowly.

Su Anlin looked over, only to find that as he guessed, the reason why the ancestor of the Lu family and the umbrella-making master was able to live so long was indeed related to umbrella-making.

Because before the old craftsman died, he told Lu Qingshan that the umbrella making he learned was actually only the surface of umbrella making.

The old craftsman comes from an ancient school of rivers and lakes and makes a living by making umbrellas.

But their umbrellas are not used to protect them from the sun and rain, but to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters like Taoist priests.

The paper umbrella that the ancestors of the Lu family learned at the beginning only used seventy-two processes.

This is recognized by every umbrella maker.

However, the paper umbrellas made by the old craftsman school can still have three more processes behind it.

What are the three processes?

But it was not written later, as if it had been artificially deleted.

But as I said later, because of these three more processes, their paper umbrellas are different.

Ward off evil spirits, exorcise ghosts, sacrifice, and even extend your life, get promoted and make a fortune, you can make your dreams come true through paper umbrellas!

And the reason why this old craftsman can live so long is to use a paper umbrella to continue his life.

The specific process seems to have been artificially deleted, and I don't know the specific process.

After that, the old craftsman lived to be 334 years old and could no longer continue his life.

Before he died, he called the ancestor of the Lu family to his side and handed over the complete three processes to the ancestor of the Lu family.

Since then, the craft of making this paper umbrella has been handed down and has become the ancestral craft of the Lu family.

"There seems to be something missing in this book."

Su Anlin glanced at Lu Qingshan and asked.
