Chapter 26 Seven Star Immortal Bridge

Then Li Chengze saw me standing still there, and said tremblingly, "Little brother, what's wrong, is it haunted?"

I glanced at him and said no.

Suddenly, I seemed to feel that the saw on the window rod moved, and I took a step back in fright. Without saying a word, I immediately took out the Luban ruler and put it on the corner of the wall. What is the ruler for, I said to ward off evil spirits.

Afterwards, I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart, gripped the saw tightly, and sawed towards the window pole. When I pulled it, I immediately felt the sound of rubbing mahjong getting louder. What was even weirder was that Li Chengze suddenly said that his hands hurt.

At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but after pulling it three or four times, Li Chengze said that his arm was getting more and more painful. I glanced at his arm out of curiosity, and I almost passed out after seeing it.

However, there was a shallow sawtooth mark on his right arm, as if someone was pulling hard on his arm with a saw.

Then Li Chengze obviously noticed this situation too, sweating profusely from fright, he covered his arms tightly, and asked me if it was the reason for sawing the window rod, I wasn't sure, so I pulled it according to the position of the window rod.

With this pull, the skin on Li Chengze's arm has broken through an extremely fine cut, and a few blood beads spilled out from it.

The blood bead had an indescribable smell inside, only the size of a sesame seed, but one could clearly see the reflection of the blood bead, as if a person was inside, and there seemed to be some impurities.

I grabbed his arm, and he asked me what I was doing, and I said look at his arm, and I pressed the blood bead with a little force, and it burst instantly, but there was a strong rancid smell, which was very similar to a corpse The smell of decay.

This made me frown all of a sudden, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. What is certain is that this wooden window must not be sawn, it must be some kind of spell cast on it by the old master, and it cannot be destroyed at will. Said: "It seems that this method will not work. We can only build the Seven Star Immortal Bridge to neutralize the evil spirit in the red toon wood."

After saying this, I looked at Li Chengze and asked him for his opinion. He seemed to have been stunned by the previous scene, and said that it was up to me to figure it out, and he fully supported me.

Seeing this, without saying anything, I asked him to prepare a bowl of toutou rice, fourteen three-inch-long willows, a one-foot-three-foot hemp rope, a box of cinnabar, a brand new writing brush, and two small wooden sticks. stool.

Then Li Chengze has been in Guangzhou all year round, so he definitely doesn’t have these things, he said, he went to the village to borrow them, and asked me to wait here.

I said oh, and waited in place for a while, I don't know the reason for standing here alone, or what's going on, I just think the atmosphere around here is very strange, so strange that I can't express it in words, if I really want to say it , I can only say that the atmosphere is like someone holding his heart, and will crush his heart casually.

In this atmosphere, I waited for about 10 minutes, and Li Chengze came back with a sack in his hand. To my surprise, he was followed by an old man in his eighties. He has silver hair, a wrinkled face, and a cane in his hand.

When I saw the old man, I frowned and thought it was a business grab. After all, this kind of thing happened before, so I asked Li Chengze, "Who is this old man?"

Before Li Chengze could open his mouth, the old man said first: "Young man, I heard from Chengze that you can solve the window problem?"

As a junior, I'm not too abrupt, so I bowed to him first, and said slowly, "I'm not talented, I learned something from my senior brother, so I should be able to solve it."

When he heard this, he didn't speak, and went straight past me and Li Chengze towards the window. He reached out and touched the window for about a minute. He shook his head and said something inexplicable, "If you want to People don't know, unless they do nothing."

I was very puzzled, what did he mean by that? Before I could speak, the old man walked towards the door, leaving me and Li Chengze staring at each other. I asked Li Chengze who the old man was, and he said that he was from his village. Old Mr. Feng Shui, these things are borrowed from his family. Hearing that I can solve this problem, the old man came here to take a look.

Mr Feng Shui?

I was slightly taken aback, what does this have to do with Mr. Feng Shui?
I muttered a word without thinking too deeply, so I took the sack from Li Chengze's hand, opened it, and found all the things I mentioned earlier, I took them out one by one, and asked Li Chengze to prepare a clean Eight Immortals table.

Then Li Chengze didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly moved a small Eight Immortals table, and asked me where to put it, I said it would be fine to put it by the corner of the window.

When he put the Eight Immortals table by the corner, I put the rice on top of it, and asked him for a pair of red wax and three sticks of fragrance, which I put on the rice.

After preparing all this, I first folded the hemp rope into two, and then used the hemp rope to tie fourteen three-inch-long willows into the shape of a wooden ladder. Finally, I opened the cinnabar box, poured some water into it, and stirred it , took out a new brush, dipped some cinnabar, and drew fourteen * symbols on the willow wood of the wooden ladder.

It's also very strange to say, just after I finished drawing the fourteen * symbols, the mahjong sound in the room suddenly became much quieter, and Li Chengze looked happy, and kept saying that the little brother is really capable, Half the problem is solved before you even make a move.

I didn't pay much attention to his flattery, and drew some * symbols on the window pole. The * symbol on this window pole has a certain orientation, and it has to be drawn in the same way as the south and the north, that is to say, the south represents The upper part represents the sky, the north part represents the earth, and the west and east directions represent Yin and Yang.

Using the words of our ghost craftsman to explain this emphasis is that the four dimensions are upright and the eight winds are hidden outside. It must be reconciled.

In layman's terms, the most fundamental reason is that there is evil spirit in these red toon woods, and this evil spirit is caused by Yin Qi. Only by neutralizing these Yin Qi can these woods be straightened. The first symbol plays the role of guiding and dredging. This is like performing surgery on the human body. You have to know the direction before you can start. Our ghost craftsmen operate on wood, and the theory is basically the same.

After drawing the four symbols, I could clearly feel that the temperature in the room was higher, but I didn't dare to overdo it. I touched the window rod with one hand and chanted twelve incantations.

After I finished chanting the mantra, my face became condensed, and I put one end of the wooden ladder I made earlier on the window rod, and the other end on a pair of red wax on the top of the table, and put the two small wooden stools I prepared in advance. Place it on the east and west sides of the Eight Immortals table.

When it comes to these two small wooden stools, there is a small caveat here. You cannot put all four stool legs on the Eight Immortals table, only two stool legs can be placed, and the other two stool legs must be suspended in the air.

In this way, a problem arises. Generally, a stool has three legs or four legs, and the two legs of the stool must not be stable!
This may be a difficult problem for laymen, but we ghost craftsmen have our own methods, so we can rest assured.
