21. The puppetry of Wujizi
Luo Chuan's fingers trembled, and he found himself a little tired: "Are you stupid in learning spells? You can't tell people?" He looked at the two little groups who were not yet ten years old, and were speechless for a while.
"In the future, you two can have a companion when you travel down the mountain, Senior Sister Su is responsible for spells, and Little Senior Brother can run errands and ask for directions to deal with people. Huaifu, who had been paying attention to this, leaned over and smiled.
"That's right. The dragon bird slowly echoed, and poured a glass of wine in one hand and a wine jug in the other hand for Luo Chuan: "Fourth senior brother, drink a glass of wine to moisten your throat, don't let down the wine." ”
Looking around the entire banquet, the elders sat together and talked, and the juniors gathered together in groups of three or five by themselves, but only Su Qingyi and Lu Jiu had no wine on the table.
Su Qingyi said strangely: "Isn't Senior Brother Longque the second, how can you call Senior Brother Luochuan the 'Fourth Senior Brother'?"
Lu Jiu explained leisurely on the side: "Ten years ago, in the ranking of disciples, Senior Brother Longque, who had good cooking skills, was promoted from fifth to second, and the fourth senior brother was still in the same position as the fourth senior brother, so Senior Brother Longque was used to being called, and he kept calling it like this." ”
"Do you want to re-rank this year?" Su Qingyi felt that her head was big when she heard it, so many people changed the new order, and the senior brother and brother screamed randomly, how could they remember who was in the first place?
"That's right, today is the ranking banquet, and the comments of the elders are the basis for the ranking, you see that the elders have already commented on the ninth junior brother. Huai Fufu explained with a smile.
Only then did Su Qingyi realize that most of the Shanguo Peak disciples she had seen before were sitting around the elders, and where Huai Fu was pointing, the thin and tall Ninth Senior Brother straightened his spine and was a little nervous.
"Aren't the three senior brothers in a hurry about such an important matter?" and had the leisure to join in the fun with them.
Luo Chuan said: "As soon as the dishes come out, there is a rough ranking in my heart, this year, the little junior brother did not participate is still the last, the top four ninety percent are sure that there will be no change, the main thing is that the fifth place and the younger brothers will compete for the top, let's just watch the excitement." ”
Su Qingyi felt that the rules of the old and young were broken, and she squeezed out a sentence dryly: "It's quite interesting." ”
No wonder Wujizi got the invitation and opened his mouth to say: "Shu Shanguo has changed his career to become a cook?" If it weren't for the insiders, it would be appropriate to think that Shanguofeng was the inheritance of the immortal chef.
Su Qingyi felt that her imagination of sitting and talking about the immortal family banquet was shattered, and a group of immortals sat together to discuss which dish was more delicious, this picture was okay?
Forget it, let's eat good food, these are all delicious food.
The Peach Blossom Banquet ended, and the ranking of the new disciples was determined, and sure enough, as Luo Chuan said, the top four did not change.
Su Qingyi listened to it for a while, a lot of names and names, and in front of a group of people who were dressed and almost the same size, she only felt that her brain was a mess and she didn't remember any of them.
Consciously cooking is not talented, and when he left, he said goodbye to Lu Jiu and the others, Su Qingyi thought about it and encouraged Lu Jiu: "Senior Brother Lu Jiu, you will definitely be able to make the dishes well, I believe in you." ”
Then waved goodbye to Lu Jiu, who had a bitter face, and there will definitely be his dishes at the ranking banquet in the next ten years, so he should learn it from today onwards.
Lu Jiu didn't mind that he did poorly, and he kept hanging at the end as a little disciple, but he couldn't stand the senior brothers and secretly began to encourage the master to accept a few little junior sisters to go up the mountain.
Even Luo Chuan said that he was looking forward to the ingenious little sister, who must be better than the boy.
Lu Jiu thought about it for a while, and felt that he couldn't accept the situation of calling a little girl who was much younger than him.
Therefore his hard days are coming.
"Alas, I really envy Zhou Zhuoshan for not even having cooking utensils. ”
......
Tengyun flew back to Zhou Zhuoshan, and Su Qingyi found that the wood he got could not be enlarged, so he could only ask Wujizi to help.
Fortunately, Wujizi is very talkative, and he reached out to help Su Qingyi restore the wood to its original Zhang He, if he asked, "Why don't you even know these little spells?"
Su Qingyi felt that she was embarrassed to explain, and the two magic books were only scratched and thrown aside.
She muttered quietly, "I need to find time to practice all the spells." ”
This is the disadvantage of having too many things to learn, and it is difficult to take care of the whole thing for a while, and it is easy to favor one over the other.
Wujizi listened to herself muttering and asked, "Are you going to be a puppet when you come back from looking for wood?"
Su Qingyi nodded.
"I haven't done it in years, so I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. ”
At this time, the sunset has already set in the west, Su Qingyi sat under the eaves early and waited for the hour to come, and by tonight, Su Qingyi's "Chaos Initial Opening Law Jinggong" had a total of forty days to draw qi into the body, and it would take nine days to complete the yin and yang qi required by the body.
The next day, after getting up and storing the yin and yang qi again, Su Qingyi said silently: "There are still eight and a half days." She was looking forward to what would happen to her body after eight and a half days, and whether she would be able to practice qi and build a foundation like a normal person.
Wujizi walked out of the room, stretched out his hand, and a huge table appeared in the courtyard, with many materials and tools on it.
There are all kinds of tools for breaking down wood, tools for making shapes, etc., and Su Qingyi also saw the silk threads used to connect the joints, which are equivalent to the meridians in the puppet's human body.
"Qingyu'er, aren't you going to be a puppet, it just so happens that we can have a companion together. "Wujizi said.
He stood on the side of the long table, with a piece of wood with abundant spiritual power on it, and took a bark-cutting tool to peel off the bark from the wood.
Su Qingyi watched his not fast movements, and hurriedly ran over to put his wood on the other side of the long table, doing the same.
Wujizi didn't speak, just quietly and orderly doing what he was doing.
Su Qingyi didn't speak, and after completing a step, she would see what Wujizi did next. When she used Wujizi's materials, Wujizi didn't say a word and didn't see it, and he didn't want to throw that part of the things aside when he made a mistake.
In fact, Su Qingyi removed the unusable part, and the rest was enough to make a puppet for her.
Wujizi maintained the rhythm of sunrise and sunset, which happened to stagger the time when Su Qingyi practiced "Chaos Initial Opening Method Jinggong".
On the first day, the wood is planed into a regular shape, and the bark is ground and soaked in a jar;
The next day the wood was broken down and the silhouette of the puppet was prepared;
On the third day, the inside of the wood was hollowed out to make movable joints;
On the fourth day, the puppeteers with movable hands, feet, waist, neck, and knuckles were completed, and the internal silk threads were also arranged in a unique way, so that the activities between the joints could be linked to each other;
On the fifth day, the soaked bark and cloth were used to make clothes for the puppets;
On the sixth day, the puppet began to engrave formation runes, a total of seven sets were engraved, and the layers of runes shone with different lights and shrouded the puppet's body. The formation runes were engraved for three days, and a total of twenty-one layers of tiny runes flowed inside and outside the puppet and on the clothes.
On the ninth day, the puppet was made of a white silk with hair, a dagger in each of his arms, and nine hundred silver needles in his abdomen, and there was no tongue in his mouth, so that the puppet did not have to speak. The legs are filled with hundred-meter-long chains, and in order to do this, Su Qing Yiying has learned the spell of opening up space.
After the blessing of the twenty-one array talismans, the wooden body of the puppet man was already full of spiritual energy, becoming smooth and elastic like human skin.
Standing up, it is like a real person with a blank face and no arguments between men and women.
The puppeteer made by Su Qingyi was the same height as her, and chose a dark blue shirt and pants, and a soft sword was hidden in the belt around his waist.
In the evening, Wujizi put away the finished puppet and the long table that had been placed outside the courtyard for nine days, and returned to the room without saying a word.
When Su Qingyi used the object control technique to move her little puppet away, she suddenly saw a green light shining on the ground.
She walked over and picked it up and saw that there were two green beads in the corner of the table, and Su Qingyi was surprised: "Isn't this the best material for puppet eyes, 'Heart Stone'?"
