Chapter 284: Lightning Strikes Wood
"Master, our kitchen has been demolished, how can you buy this chicken and eat it back?" Erzhuzi took the chicken in Lin Bufan's hand and asked.
"What to eat, I have this chicken I use. Lin Bufan knocked the head of the second pillar with his hand and said.
"Talk, why are you knocking on my head?" said Erzhuzi, covering his head.
"I'm afraid you won't have a long memory and eat my chicken. After Lin Bufan said this, he walked towards Maoshan Hall.
"Master, I'm hungry. Erzhuzi touched his stomach behind Lin Bufan and said, Erzhuzi didn't say that it was okay, he said that Lin Bufan also felt a little hungry.
"Put your things back first, and I'll take you to the bun shop opposite for breakfast." ”
"Good master. Erzhuzi happily ran to Maoshan Hall, leaving Lin Bufan far behind.
After the two of them finished breakfast in the morning, Lin Bufan bought some things for tomorrow and then returned to Maoshan Hall, the things that should be bought were almost bought, at this time Lin Bufan sat on the chair and had nothing to do, and Erzhuzi was sitting on the sofa with a wolf pen and cinnabar to draw talismans, Erzhu was expressionless when he drew talismans, he focused all his energy on the wolf pen in his hand, and kept chanting the spell of drawing talismans in his mouth, Lin Bufan looked at Erzhu with all his attention on the side and nodded.
"Master, how about you take a look at this talisman I drew?" Erzhuzi asked as he sent a talisman he had drawn to Lin Bufan.
The talisman painted by the two pillars is called "the town house is guilty of five ghost talismans", the function of this talisman is that where there are lost things in the house or people have forgotten in the east and west, etc., they are all five ghosts for worship, so as to charm the town. The spell of the drawing talisman is "Five ghosts and five ghosts, rushing and busy, charming and hidden, carrying impermanence, I am ordered by pardon, avoiding the famine, if you dare to disobey, the bones will fly." "There is a flash of spiritual light on this talisman drawn by Erzhuzi, which means that this talisman is still spiritual, and this talisman is much better than the talismans he drew before.
"Yes, good. Lin Bufan nodded and said.
"That's good, that's good. Erzhuzi looked at the Fu in his hand and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
"That master, when are you going to take me as an apprentice?" Erzhuzi said as he looked at Lin Bufan expectantly.
"You have always called me master, and I have never promised to take you as an apprentice. Lin Bufan put the charm in his hand on the table and said, Erzhuzi heard Lin Bufan say this, his face was full of disappointment.
"Go draw a few Pure Altar Talismans for me, I'll be useful tomorrow. Lin Bufan instructed the two pillars.
"Okay, I'll go right away. Erzhuzi nodded and said.
"Just draw eight, you don't need too many. ”
"I see. After the second pillar answered, he began to draw the talisman seriously.
At this time, Lin Bufan was also thinking in his heart, when he finished moving the grave this time, he would accept the two pillars, and now he didn't reply to him, because he wanted to hone his patience again and see if he could hold on.
After the eight talismans of the second pillar were drawn, it was already more than twelve o'clock at noon, and he had been drawing these eight talismans for more than three hours, and the second pillar was sweating profusely at this moment.
"Why is it so easy to draw the first talisman, but the further you draw, the more difficult it becomes?" the second pillar asked Lin Bufan puzzled.
"It's good for a layman like you, but others can't draw it if they want to, and you'll know when you actually enter the door. Lin Bufan didn't want to tell Erzhuzi those esoteric things now, even if Lin Bufan said it, he wouldn't understand.
Lin Bufan looked at the eight pure altar talismans drawn by the two pillars, and each of them had a flash of inspiration, proving that these eight talismans could be used, Lin Bufan didn't expect this kid to be so powerful.
"Erzhuzi gave you money in the morning, you go to the paper shop to buy shoes for Liu Mei and them now, and bring some food back by the way, we won't go out to eat at noon today." Lin Bufan instructed the two pillars.
"Okay master, I'll go now, you wait for me at home. Erzhu nodded and walked out.
"By the way, you can buy yourself another pair of shoes. Lin Bufan said to Erzhuzi again, the weather has turned cold, but Erzhuzi is still wearing a pair of worn-out slippers on his feet, and he has been wearing these worn-out slippers for a summer.
"Thank you, master. Erzhuzi turned around and bowed to Lin Bufan, and Lin Bufan could see a tear hanging from the corner of Erzhuzi's eye.
Not long after the second pillar left, an old Khan of about sixty or seventy years old walked in with a log on his back.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Lin Bufan stood up and said to the old Khan.
"Are you here here?" asked Old Khan.
"That's right, we're here in the Dao Hall. Lin Bufan nodded in response.
"I'm here to sell you this wood for some money. After the old man finished speaking, he untied the wood behind him and handed it to Lin Bufan.
"Old man, where did you get this wood?" Lin Bufan looked at the wood in the old Khan's hand and asked the old man in surprise.
"There is a peach tree in my backyard, about two hundred years old, the peaches of this peach tree are big and sweet, and such a peach tree can produce four or five hundred pounds of peaches a year, just in the middle of last month, the sky suddenly split two lightning bolts, all of them split on the two-hundred-year-old peach tree in our backyard, that night was lightning and thunder, the crops in our backyard were split out of a big pit, and finally the peach tree was split with such a wrist-thick branch. The old man explained to Lin Bufan.
"How are you going to sell this wood, old man?"
"People say that the peach wood that has been struck by lightning has the effect of warding off evil spirits, I don't know if it's true or not, I took it to several Taoist halls to sell, but people don't accept it, so little brother, if you give me some food money, I'll sell it to you." The old sweat said to Lin Bufan with a simple face.
"Well, wait a minute. After Lin Bufan said this, he opened the drawer, then took out a thousand yuan and handed it to the old gentleman.
"That's a bit too much, or you can get it back for five hundred. That old sweat took out five hundred yuan and handed it to Lin Bufan.
"Old gentleman, the value of your peach wood is very high, and I took advantage of giving you a thousand. Lin Bufan pushed back the money that Lao Khan handed him, in fact, Lin Bufan originally wanted to give Lao Khan some more money, but recently Bai Haoteng and Wang Hetong came here and invited them to eat Lin Bufan spent a lot, and Lin Bufan's daily expenses were a bit large, and the 20,000 yuan that Sun Wei gave Lin Bufan was left with.
"For me, I can sell it for two hundred dollars, and you gave me a thousand, and I'm satisfied. The old man looked at the money in his hand and smiled.
"Little brother, I'll come to you next time I have this good thing. The old man said happily.
"Okay, you can come to me again with this good thing. Lin Bufan was also happy to respond, and both of them were very happy to do this business.
After the old man left, Lin Bufan began to carefully look at the peach tree in his hand, this piece of peach wood should not be the branch of the peach tree that the old Khan said, in Lin Bufan's opinion, this piece of peach wood is the essence of the peach tree, in the eyes of the Taoist family, this is a good thing that a thousand gold can't buy, it is estimated that the old man walked before the few Taoist halls are fake Taoist halls, otherwise such a good treasure will not fall into Lin Bufan's hands.
And if Lin Bufan guessed correctly, the peach tree in the backyard of the old man's house was about to become a sperm, and the thunder that night was the robbery of the peach tree, if this peach tree avoided the thunder, it would turn into a human, but in the end, the peach tree still did not escape, and Lin Bufan felt a little sorry for it in his heart.
Lin Bufan wanted to carve the peach wood of this lightning strike into a peach wood sword for the second pillar, so he regarded it as a gift for the entrance of the second pillar, and did it, Lin Bufan took out a carving knife that the master had left to him and began to carve the sword for the second pillar.
Carving the sword is not an ordinary job, when carving the sword, you must have no distractions, and then silently recite the Tao Te Ching in your heart, and you must bless your own Dao power on the carving knife, only in this way, the carved peach wood sword can exert his greatest spirituality.
Lin Bufan carved carefully and carefully, for fear that this rare lightning strike wood would be damaged, in that case, the gains would outweigh the losses, this lightning strike wood is about one and a half meters long, Lin Bufan plans to carve a peach wood sword first, and then carve a few tokens of the remaining peach wood.
"Master, I'm back. About two hours later, Erzhuzi steamed buns ran back sweating profusely.
"Where have you been, I'm going to starve to death after so long to come back. Lin Bufan angrily counted the two pillars.
"I first went to the paper shop to buy shoes for Liu Mei and the four of them, and then went to buy a pair of sneakers for myself. Erzhuzi pointed to the shoes on his feet and said to Lin Bufan.
"It won't take that long, won't it?" said Lin Bufan, pulling his face.
"I met a female classmate of mine on the way, so I chatted with her, and I forgot about the time while chatting. Erzhuzi lowered his head as he said this.
"You didn't buy any food, did you?" When Lin Bufan said this, he saw Erzhuzi holding four pairs of paper shoes in his hands.
"Master, I'll go next door and buy you ramen now, you wait. Erzhuzi threw the paper shoes in his hand on the coffee table, and then ran to the ramen restaurant next door, but Lin Bufan shook his head helplessly.
"Master, the noodles are here. After a while, Erzhu brought in two bowls of noodles and two plates of side dishes, and at this moment, Lin Bufan also put down the wood in his hand.
"Master, I have something I want to trouble you. Erzhuzi said while eating noodles.
"What do you say, what's the matter?" Lin Bufan said as he took a bite of the side dish and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I just met my female classmate, he asked me what I am doing now, I said I was an apprentice in a dojo, and then she said that his family has been a bit evil recently, she said that when she wakes up every morning, she is not in bed but on the ground, including her mother who lives next door to her, and now she and her mother are afraid to go home at all, and have been living with their relatives, her mother is divorced from her father, and she now lives with her mother. Erzhuzi said to Lin Bufan.
"It should be that their house is haunted. Lin Bufan said calmly to Erzhuzi, and Lin Bufan didn't take what Erzhuzi said to heart at all, because Lin Bufan had encountered too many such things.
"Master, can you go and help my female classmate catch that ghost?" Erzhuzi put down the chopsticks in his hand and then discussed with Lin Bufan.
"Let's wait two days to talk about this. ”
"But I've already promised people to come over tonight to have a look, master, you can't let me break my promise. Erzhuzi said to Lin Bufan with a frown.
"You promised you this thing, but I didn't. Lin Bufan didn't look at the second pillar when he said this.
"Alright then, I'll figure it out myself. After Erzhuzi said this, he picked up the talisman on the coffee table and looked at it.
"Master, what kind of talisman do you say are used to exorcise ghosts?" Erzhuzi asked Lin Bufan.
"You're not eating?" Lin Bufan said, pointing to the half-bowl of ramen he had eaten.
"No appetite, you haven't said it yet, what kind of charm is used to exorcise ghosts?" Erzhuzi asked anxiously.
"I usually use the Evil Charm or the Five Thunder Charm. Lin Bufan said truthfully to Erzhuzi.
"Master, which of these two talismans do you say is more powerful?" Erzhuzi then asked.
"I usually use evil charms, and if I want to say something powerful, the five thunder charms are more powerful. ”
"Then I'll draw the Five Thunder Spell. After Erzhuzi finished speaking, he turned the talisman to the page of the Five Thunder Spells, he looked at it for about ten minutes and then picked up the wolf pen and drew it, while Lin Bufan was looking at the Erzhu drawing the Five Thunder Spells with great interest at the moment.
Before the second pillar was halfway drawn, the sweat on his head fell drop by drop, wetting all the yellow rune paper he drew, and in the end, the second pillar still did not succeed in drawing the five thunder spells.
"How can this be?" Erzhuzi looked at the half-drawn Five Thunder Mantra on the coffee table and said, Lin Bufan didn't squeak on the side, Lin Bufan wanted to see what Erzhuzi would do next.
"I don't believe it. Erzhu picked up a rag and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then he lifted the pen again and dipped it in cinnabar and painted, this time he failed before he was halfway through the painting.
"Master, what's going on?" Erzhuzi looked at Lin Bufan blankly.
"The Five Thunder Spells belong to the middle and upper grade spells in the talismans, and when drawing these five thunder spells, you need to consume a certain amount of Dao power in the body, and when you draw the talismans, you must synthesize them in one breath without a pause. Lin Bufan took the wolf pen in Erzhuzi's hand, and then took out a piece of yellow rune paper and drew it in front of Erzhuzi.
"Alright. Lin Bufan pushed the painted Five Thunder Mantra in front of the two pillars.
"It's just amazing. Erzhuzi looked at the yellow five thunder mantra on the coffee table and said.
"I'm going to use it against that little imp tonight. Erzhu excitedly folded the talisman board drawn by Lin Bufan and put it in his pocket.
"Then will you use this talisman?" Lin Bufan asked Erzhuzi.
"I really know how to do this, I went home a few days ago and watched a lot of movies about Taoist ghosts, and I know what to do. The second pillar said confidently, and Lin Bufan just smiled and didn't say anything, Lin Bufan was also full of expectations for this second pillar, Lin Bufan wanted to know how this kid used this talisman.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Bufan's phone rang, and this time Lin Bufan's phone was still called by an unfamiliar number.
"Hey, hello, this is Maoshan Hall. Lin Bufan said politely into the phone.
"Hey, hello, I'm Erzhuzi's classmate, I want to find Erzhuzi. The voice of a young girl came from the other end of the line.
"Your classmate's phone. Lin Bufan handed the phone in his hand to Erzhuzi and said.
"Hey, Siyu. Erzhuzi couldn't close his mouth when he answered the phone.
"Not now, I don't have time until after eight o'clock in the evening, I'll call you then." Erzhuzi assured the girl on the phone.
"Thank you, Erzhuzi. ”
"You'll see you when you say that, we're classmates. ”
"Alright then, I'll call you a little later. The female classmate of Erzhuzi hung up the phone after speaking.
"That's good. Erzhuzi held Lin Bufan's phone and said, Erzhuzi's "really good" made Lin Bufan a little inexplicable, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
"Why does your classmate have my phone number?" Lin Bufan asked curiously.
"I gave it. ”
"Then where did you get my phone number?" Lin Bufan continued to ask, after all, there were very few people who knew Lin Bufan's phone number, and Lin Bufan had never told Erzhuzi.
"There's a little notebook on your desk that I remember when I glance at it when I wipe the table in the morning. Erzhuzi said truthfully.
"I see. Lin Bufan suddenly said with a sudden realization, Lin Bufan has not been able to remember his phone number, so he wrote down the phone number in a small book, I didn't expect the kid Erzhuzi to remember it at a glance, if this kid studies hard, it will definitely not be like this.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Mei and the four of them appeared in Maoshan Hall on time, and they didn't say much, and hurriedly ran up to the second floor.
"Erbiao, wait a minute. The second pillar will stop the second biao who ran at the end.
"What are you doing?" asked Erzhuzi as he stopped, turned back to Erzhuzi.
"I want to ask you for something. Erzhuzi said in a low voice.
"I don't have time, I want to go up and play mahjong, three are missing one. Er Biao didn't want to pay attention to these two pillars at all.
"You promised to do something for me, and I'll give you a pair of shoes. Erzhuzi took out a pair of plus-size paper shoes and dangled them in front of Erbiao, Erbiao looked at the shoes in Erzhuzi's hand and was stunned in place, he looked at the shoes in Erzhuzi's hand, and glanced at Lin Bufan, and Lin Bufan pretended to drink tea and didn't look at the two of them, because Lin Bufan didn't want to pay attention to their business.
"I want another set of clothes. Er Biao looked at the shoes in Erzhu's hand and said.
"Er Biao, don't you have to inch in, okay. Erzhuzi said to Erbiao angrily.
"If that's what you're talking about, then I'll go upstairs and play mahjong. After Er Biao said this, he went upstairs.
"Er Biao, hurry up, I'll wait for you. Liu Mei upstairs beckoned Er Biao downstairs to go up and play mahjong.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll buy you another set of clothes. Erzhuzi gritted his teeth and said.
"Nacheng, tell me something. Er Biao turned to Er Zhuzi and asked.
"This requires you to come with me. Erzhuzi said.
"Where are you going?" Er Biao asked suspiciously.
"You'll know if you come with me, why do you ask so much?"
"Okay, then I'll go with you. Er Biao replied.
"Master, can you lend me your phone, I promise I won't break your phone. Erzhuzi looked at the phone on the coffee table and said to Lin Bufan.
"Take it. Lin Bufan said generously to Erzhuzi.
"Thank you, master. Erzhuzi picked up the phone on the table and said happily.
"Let's go, Erbiao. Erzhuzi shouted at Erbiao.
"Chief Lin Dao, then I'll go out with Erzhuzi first. When Er Biao was leaving, he said to Lin Bufan, Lin Bufan didn't speak, but waved his hand to Er Biao and motioned for him to go with Er Zhuzi.
As soon as Er Biao and Er Zhu walked on the front foot, Liu Mei and the three of them walked down on the back foot.
"Daoist Lin, where is Er Biao?" asked Liu Mei to Lin Bufan.
"He just went out with Erzhuzi, Liu Mei, you go up and take a look, don't make a move unless you have to. Lin Bufan said to Liu Mei who was standing in front of Lin Bufan.
"What the hell is going on, Chief Lin Dao, I'm a little confused. Liu Mei looked at Lin Bufan with a confused expression and asked.
"Erzhuzi is going to take Erbiao to catch ghosts, I'm afraid these two guys will be cleaned up. Lin Bufan explained to Liu Mei.
"Okay, then I'll follow now. After Liu Mei finished speaking, she walked out.
"Do you want us to go along?" Liu Qian said to Lin Bufan.
"No need, Liu Mei can do it himself, you two wait here. Lin Bufan said to Liu Qian, Liu Qian and Brother Feng nodded and sat on the sofa chatting.
"Where are you going to take me?" Er Biao said impatiently as he followed behind Er Zhuzi.
"Just come with me, and you'll know when the time comes. In fact, Erzhuzi wanted Liu Mei to help him, he could see that Liu Mei's strength was the strongest among the four Yin Spirits, and the weakest was Erbiao, Erzhuzi was not stupid, he knew that if he was looking for Liu Mei, Liu Qian, and Brother Feng, they would be able to help him, so he called the most heartless Erbiao, and this Erbiao was really not sorry for his own name, a dress and a pair of shoes bought him, and those shoes were also what he deserved.
"If you don't tell me what's going on, then I'm not going. Er Biao stood up and said.
"That's right, I want you to accompany me to catch a ghost. Er Zhuzi said truthfully to Er Biao.
"It's just you, still catching ghosts, you can get it, you should find Lin Daochang for this matter, not me, I won't go with you. After Er Biao said this, he turned around and walked back.
"Don't go, come back. Erzhu ran in front of Erbiao and stretched out his hands to block Erbiao who wanted to go back.
"You're no match for me, and you dare to catch ghosts, don't be kidding. "Er Biao didn't look down on Erzhu at all.
"Don't worry, I asked for a talisman from my master when I was leaving, you see. Erzhuzi took out the Five Thunder Spell in his pocket and handed it to Erbiao.
"Put it away, I'm dizzy at the sight of this spell. Er Biao could feel the power contained in the Five Thunder Mantra, which frightened him.
"Er Biao, are you scared, if you want to be afraid, then you can go back, don't worry, I won't tell Liu Qian about what you're afraid of. "Erzhu deliberately provoked Erbiao.
"What am I afraid of, I don't have these two words in my Erbiao's dictionary, I don't need you to do it when I go to catch that ghost for a while, I'll just come." Er Biao straightened his waist and said to Er Zhuzi.
"Then let's go. Seeing that the goal was achieved, Erzhuzi then flicked his arms and walked forward, while Erbiao followed closely behind Erzhuzi.
