Inherit the family's old shop

Chapter 15 The Coffin Nail

"Although I'm not a Mr. Yin and Yang, I still know a little bit about their methods. Whether it's a Taoist monk or a Mr. Feng Shui Yin and Yang, here, you can either drive away ghosts and seal evil spirits, or break the Yin-Yang situation." !" The old cripple sighed, and his face turned serious, "But do you know that exorcising ghosts and sealing evil spirits hurt Tianhe in the first place, because this little Huadaner was a person who died in vain, and it was an unreasonable thing to do. I haven't done it, and killing her will cost my life! If it's for an irrelevant person, who would want to lose their own life!"

"It's even harder to say it's a broken game!" The old cripple shook his head, "I've been here for almost 20 years, and I can roughly see the things in this house. It’s not something ordinary people can do. It needs to be changed. To put it bluntly, it’s just a medium. Although I can’t see what’s in the Yin-Yang Bureau, I know there’s no way to organize people. This Yin-Yang Bureau is a Can't be solved!"

The old cripple stared at me blankly, and said quietly, "Son, these things are beyond the reach of non-blood relatives, and ordinary people would not accept them!"

Listening to the old cripple's explanation, I also became a little uneasy. The ups and downs are indescribably boring. If my father has the means to arrange people like this, I would be beaten to death. I don't even believe it, but I don't dare to think about catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits.

The old cripple was stunned for a while, then said, "Boy, you actually made a mistake from the very beginning. I said your family is not simple, but I didn't say it was your father. Think about it. Don't you have a grandfather? "

This sentence gave me a slap in the face, "Master, you said, is it my grandfather?"

The old cripple didn't answer me, but instead asked me, "Boy, let me ask you one more question. You really don't know a man named Chen Yuanli?"

I shook my head, "I don't know, I really don't know, there are too many people with the surname Chen in the world, why should I know him?"

"Then what's your grandfather's name?" the old cripple asked again.

"My grandpa..." I was stunned for a moment, "My grandpa's name...is not very nice, don't laugh at me!"

The old cripple nodded. I remembered my grandfather's funny name and said, "My grandfather, his name is Chen Laowai. To put it bluntly, he just has a crooked mouth? This crooked mouth has been around for many years. !"

"Crooked mouth?" The old cripple was stunned, the expression in his eyes changed a little bit, which made me unable to see through it again.

The old cripple sighed, feeling a sense of loss, and replied, "My old man can't see through this matter, hey, let's take one step at a time, this is fate, no one can understand it!"

The old cripple lit the cigarette pot, smoked it, and chatted with me without saying a word. It must have been more than an hour, and the old cripple knocked the cigarette pot on the sole of his shoe, " Baby, it's time for us to do your business!"

The old cripple got up and went out, and I followed him to the door where the broken wood was placed. I thought the broken wood inside was for the old cripple to warm the kang in winter, but he slept in a broken bed, and the things inside should be It is used for another purpose.

The old cripple entered the house, a piece of broken wood was in a mess, the old cripple was looking for something over and over again, and I couldn't get my hands in for a while.

After more than half an hour, the old cripple took out a few pieces of wood the size of a palm, "Hey, I found it, luckily I didn't lose it!"

The old cripple put the pieces of wood at the door. I glanced at it, but I didn't see any difference. The old cripple called me from the room, "My son, come and help me move the things out!"

I went in and took a look, my good guy, there was a big box under the bed, it looked heavy, I pushed and moved it out, and when I opened it, it was an ax, chisel, saw, it was clearly a piece of belongings of a carpenter!

I was surprised, but the old cripple grinned, "Son, don't be dazed, follow me to the west room to move something!"

The old cripple led the way, and I followed closely to the door of the innermost room in the west room. The door was locked with a big green lock. The old cripple fiddled with his hands a few times, and the lock was unlocked with a click. up.

The old cripple led the way, and I followed closely to the door of the innermost room in the west room. The door was locked with a big green lock. The old cripple fiddled with his hands a few times, and the lock was unlocked with a click. up.

As soon as I opened the door, I couldn't help being surprised again. A coffin, another coffin, in the west room, there was a coffin without a coffin lid, which seemed to be just a prototype.

The old cripple smacked his lips, "Hey, it was originally prepared for my old man, but now, I have to give it to you kid!"

"Give it to me" I was stunned for a moment, the old cripple didn't say much, and let me help to move the coffin out.

In the middle of the courtyard in the backyard, the old cripple began to get busy with a chisel and saw. I am a layman and I can't see any way to do it, but just looking at the craftsmanship of the old cripple, he is definitely a master-level figure. This carpentry is originally a handicraft , It has been a respected industry for many years. Judging from these methods of the old cripple, he can be regarded as a capable person.

I watched the old cripple who had been busy for a long time without making a sound, and at dusk, the old cripple stopped. The coffin was already completed, wide at the front and narrow at the back, with a slope of one foot to three inches, and two lotus openings. , a pair of thin coffins, but made with edges and corners, it looks like a handicraft.

The old cripple picked up a few pieces of wood he took out from the firewood shed, put cushions in his hands, and said with a smile, "Boy, do you know what this thing is?"

I smiled, "Wood... isn't it all wood?"

The old cripple laughed, "There are many kinds of wood. What kind of wood do you use? The one in my hand is actually a coffin nail from the top of the coffin!"

"coffin nails"

The old cripple nodded, "This thing was buckled from the coffin of the old grave. This thing has a heavy yin energy and can cover the yang energy of a person. I always thought it would be useless, but I didn't expect it to be used for you body!"

I've heard it like a cloud, but when it's applied to me, what does it mean.

The old cripple took out a jar from the big box. When he opened it, there was a piece of bright red soup, which looked like blood and red ink. He heard from the old cripple that it was cinnabar paint. The old cripple took out a wolf hair brush, Stained with cinnabar paint, a bunch of ghostly symbols were painted on the coffin, and it was not until dark that the old cripple was finished.

"Boy, take off your clothes and put them in this coffin!" The old cripple gasped and said. A pair of long johns, on this crisp autumn day, I shivered a few times.

The old cripple was sitting on the threshold, smoking a cigarette, with deep eyes, looking at the sky in the east, the mist was heavy, and it was a bit cloudy, so it wasn't a good weather.

"Boy... come here, I'll tell you what's going on!" The old cripple waved at me, with a look of reluctance on his old bark-like face, "Boy, it's midnight, It's time for you to escape!"

I froze for a moment, nodded my head, and the old cripple continued, "I won't say much about other things, you will be lying under the coffin in a while, no matter what you hear or see, don't say anything to me Son, remember, this is a terrible job, you can remember it clearly for me!"

I nodded, thinking to myself, "It's a big deal, I close my eyes and don't look at anything." The old cripple saw my thoughts at a glance, "Don't try to close your eyes, you have to keep them open all the time. After distinguishing between east, west, north and south, if you run in the wrong direction after a while, I dare not say where you are going, then my old man will not be able to save you!"
