Chapter 529: The Coffin
"What do you think?"
Motoyoshi's honest voice interrupted me from my chaotic thoughts.
He sat down beside me and comforted me in a somewhat wooden tone, "Qianlong don't worry too much about it."
"Old man Tenggu, it's like that immortal who descended to earth and put everything in heaven and earth into his mind."
"But whatever he arranges, if you do it with your heart, there will always be results."
Yuanji's persuasion is not ingenious.
But one of the sentences, 'Do it with your heart, there will always be results," made me feel a lot more relieved."
The past is gone, the future is not, my entanglement and panic are useless, the only thing I should do is to do a good job in the present.
I was a little grateful, "Thank you, Uncle Motoyoshi, for your enlightenment."
"Hehe, how can I enlighten people, just talk."
Yuan Ji handed me the carving knife in his hand, "Recently, many people have died in the south of the village, and the coffins in our shop are almost the same, just carved."
"My hands are relatively clumsy, and the fawn is unwilling to help, so Weiwei and you are left to do this job."
"When you're in a good mood, you can try it."
With Motoyoshi's dissuasion, my mood has almost eased.
I immediately grabbed my carving knife and went into the backyard, where twenty coffins were neatly parked.
Sun Weiwei held a charcoal pen and delicately sketched different patterns on the coffin.
Murphy knows the rules for making coffins.
For example, older people use the 'longevity pattern, and the paint is red, which represents the joy and mourning of the end of life.
The middle-aged man died in a misfortune, using moire.
Teenagers die young, and black gold flowers are used.
Strangely, most of the twenty coffins neatly arranged in the backyard were young people.
I wondered, "Where have so many people been dying so early lately!?"
"Five days ago, at 11 o'clock in the morning, there was a massive landslide on the deciduous slope," Sun said.
"The adults went out to work, but some young people stayed at home, and more than 20 people were killed."
"There are many people who live here and can't even afford coffins."
"When we meet this kind of person, our coffin shop usually gives a coffin for free, which is regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue."
The pattern outlined by Sun Weiwei was particularly exquisite, and I took out the Qianxuan cold iron knife and began to carve it.
There are twenty coffins, and it is a delicate job to do.
Between the blades, the lines are thick or thin, and they have to be retouched two or three times before the final painting can be carried out.
After experiencing several catastrophes between life and death, I gradually understood a truth.
Whether a person is strong or not is not a long board, but a short board.
The most typical is the investigation team established by the Zhuge family.
They are all strong, proficient in killing, extorting confessions, investigations and other means, and they are basically at the level of mountain Taoist priests.
According to the normal situation analysis, Murphy and Sun Mingjin are just mountain Taoist priests.
The original investigation team of 12 people could have wiped us out easily.
As a result, we were unscathed, and they all died without a place to be buried.
The reason for this is that they have strong combat effectiveness, but they are extremely poor in cognition, and they are just stubborn children with sharp weapons.
In my case, the mistakes of the investigation team must not be repeated.
I have been practicing since I was a child, and I have studied Qimen Bagua, Feng Shui physiognomy, and Taoist mantras.
Dao Fa and soul power, I am not weak at all.
There's only one thing - the melee ability is extremely poor.
If I let masters like Murphy and Sun Mingjin be within two meters of me, I will be completely defeated in less than a cup of tea.
Presumably, my grandfather left me a thousand cold iron knives to make up for my shortcomings.
If you want to cultivate the sword technique to the fullest, you need three conditions.
The first condition is that, as I do now, the knife is an extension of the body, and its power can be precisely controlled.
When the first condition is completed, the second step can be done.
The second step is to practice knife techniques, starting from the squeezed out moves, and then learning various subtle knife techniques.
When the knife technique reaches the stage of naturalness, it begins to return to the basics, and starts to learn one move and one style again.
If the three conditions are met, even if it is the grandmaster level among the swordsmen.
It took me an entire afternoon to carve the pattern of a coffin.
Sun Weiwei's speed was not fast, and she only drew two coffins.
For dinner, Motoyoshi stir-fried four home-cooked dishes and stewed a pot of radish pork rib soup.
The summer night was noisy, and the house was a little stuffy, so we moved the dining table to the courtyard and had a lively meal.
The atmosphere at the dinner table made me feel like I was back when I was a child.
My grandfather was the head of the family, and my parents were still by my side, and I lived a peaceful and comfortable life in the old village house on summer nights.
It's a pity that it's all gone.
"Qianlong comes to us, just like in your own home, don't be restrained."
Tenggu sandwiched a piece of ribs for me and said with a smile, "How did you feel on your first day of work?"
I was amazed and said, "Grandpa, you are so clever."
"Now I finally understand why Wei Wei and Xiaolu were able to cultivate to such a realm at such a young age."
Sun Weiwei, who was pulling the food, raised her head and looked at me a little confused.
Tenggu was also interested: "Tell me, what is this for?"
I said, "It's a small coffin shop, but it implies almost all the cultivation methods."
"Uncle Motoyoshi's body is a black bear, and you asked him to go to the forest without using Dogen to cut down wood with an axe and carry wood."
"By doing so, you can not only improve your muscles and bones, but also improve your control over the power of the earth element."
Yuanji scratched his head and smiled, "I see."
Sun Weiwei suddenly seemed to understand something, "What about me?"
"You have always been responsible for the pattern depiction, which can imperceptibly make your heart as calm as water."
"Therefore, your cultivation will reach a qualitative leap in a short period of time."
Tenggu put down his chopsticks and said with emotion: "It is worthy of being the grandson of Zhuge Qianlong, and he can see the mystery in the coffin shop at a glance."
"Zhuge Jun's inheritance is a rare treasure in the world, and if you can inherit all of them, it can be seen that there are people with great creation."
"My little coffin shop, teaching you such a young genius, some small materials are very useful."
I was a little flattered and hurriedly said, "I am fortunate to be able to learn something from you!"
Not to mention that Teng Gu was my grandfather's comrade-in-arms back then, just by looking for the Seven Star Life Renewal Lamp, the help he provided to me was enough to make me grateful.
The fawn looked at me a little confused, and then looked at Tenggu beside him.
"Brother, is Grandpa Tenggu very powerful?"
"Why do I think he's just an ordinary old man, not as good as you."
