Yizhi Carpenter continued to say enthusiastically: "I dare not care about what the brother said, so I silently remembered it in my heart. My brother said to us again, you two remembered, but whenever you look for wood, don't look for more than a hundred years. Most of the trees that are more than a hundred years old are spiritual. If we cut down, it will be our ghost craftsman who will eventually get retribution. Therefore, we must find wood that is less than a hundred years old.
While speaking, the senior brother also took out his axe, raised his axe and shot it towards the pine tree. When the axe went down, the whole pine tree shook a few times. The senior brother said again, to observe the age of the tree, there is no need to check the age of the tree. , You only need to check the unevenness on the bark to know the age of the tree.
The brother reached out his hand and touched the cut tree pole, and continued to say that the pine tree was uneven, and its unevenness was curved, indicating that the pine tree was 19 years old.
The three of them fell the tree together, and the brother taught us the knowledge of cutting the tree while cutting it. Soon the pine tree was cut to the ground. Just when the tree was about to be chopped down, the brother took a deep breath and said that the final touch of the felling. The whole body must be exhausted. Only in this way can the relationship between the tree and the ground be completely cut. Otherwise, it is easy for the underground yin air to penetrate into the core of the tree, which will cause the tree to be wet all the year round, and the things that come out will easily regain moisture.
The senior brother’s words made me think, but before I could speak, I heard a bang, and the pine tree fell to the ground. I immediately ran over, crouched down and checked, and found that the pine tree’s annual ring was exactly 19 laps. It's exactly the same as the 19-year-old tree that the brother said.
This made the image of the brother in my heart immediately taller, because I have always thought that the brother is just an ordinary coffin guy, and the coffin is just a few pieces of wood together. I didn’t expect that he actually knew this. many.
However, what made me even more unexpected was that this was only the most basic thing, because the next thing made me completely admired. He sat down and smoked a bag of cigarettes, and then confidently asked Jia Sidao and me to go to the southeast. Jiazi was cutting wood and said there was a pine tree over there.
Jia Sidao was startled slightly, and asked in confusion, how did he know that there was a pine tree in that location.
The brother glanced at us and sat on a tree pole. He said that in this vast world, both humans and plants have their own characteristics. Every mountain, as small as a shrub, is born according to the environment. Just according to the characteristics of their growth and the distance, you can be prepared to tell some plants near them.
He makes
He took a puff of cigarette, then pointed to the tree under his butt, and said that the pine branches are leafy, but there is no smell of shrubs on the sides of the pine trees. This shows that there is a group of rocks nearby. According to the growth characteristics of pine trees, most There must be pine trees near the stone group. Finally, according to the angle of the pine tree and the direction of the leaves, it is not difficult to judge that there is a pine tree in the southeast Jiazi.
Having said that, he stood up, raised his hands and patted heavily on the shoulders of Jia Sidao and I. He said that if he wants to be a good ghostmaker, he must first blend into nature and feel every move of nature. The phenomena of all things presented by nature are attributed to their own use.
At that time, Jia Sidao and I were all ignorant, but the ghostmaker still has this ability? Can you still feel nature
In order to verify the authenticity of brother’s words, Jia Sidao and I did not delay, and immediately ran towards the southeast Jiazi position. The facts are just as my brother guessed. There is indeed a pine tree in that location, which is one size bigger than the previous pine tree. We learned from the brother, first we drank at the pine tree, and then raised the axe to chop. According to the degree of unevenness taught by the brother, we roughly checked the age of the tree. It was about 30 years old, but we were not sure about the exact age.
After estimating the age of the tree, we did not hesitate, weary our sleeves, raised the axe and chopped down the pine tree.
At the moment when we just cut down the pine tree, a voice suddenly heard behind us, which shocked Jia Sidao and me. Looking back, it was the brother who was looking at me with a smile on his face. I didn't speak, and I didn't know why. At that time, I suddenly felt that brother's smile was a little weird.
Jia Sidao happily asked brother, how are we doing. The senior nodded approvingly, then looked at the axe in my hand and said: There is a wood, Gengxin in the southwest, and there is a pine tree. Go with me and chop it down.
I didn't think much about it, and then walked in the direction the brother said. When I came to Gengxin in the southwest, there was a pine tree as before. This pine tree was not big, about the same size as the first pine tree. Just when I raised my axe and cut it down, the senior patted me directly on the waist. With a palm, it is said that cutting down the tree will unite the waist and the horse, and swing the arm vigorously and forcefully.
I said yes, then raised the axe and slashed it as the brother said. In this way, we cut down about seven pine trees in the sound of brother's instruction. According to the brother's instructions, we cut off the branches of those pine trees. After everything was done, Jia Sidao and I were almost collapsed. Sit down. Gasping for breath on the ground.
My brother shook his head and said how he learned art when he was with his master, and said that the young people nowadays are really terrible.
I have to say that the whole movement of the brother chopping the branches is like flowing clouds and flowing water, and every movement is done in one go, without the slightest extra movement. It can even be said that watching the brother chopping the branches is simply a visual enjoyment.
After cutting those branches, it was late in the evening, and the senior said to us, since the master asked us to learn art by his side, he couldn’t let us come in vain. Naturally, he has to teach you some skills, and cutting trees is just the first step. The second step is to teach us how to recognize the coffin, how to fight the coffin, and what kind of person to fight what kind of coffin.
He said that when hitting a coffin, you must first remember that there are three taboos in the coffin of a ghost. This kind of coffin is absolutely not to be beaten. Once it is beaten, you will lose your life, not to mention, it will even cause some killing.
Having said this, the brother paused, raised his eyes and looked at the village, and continued to say that the coffin we were going to fight this time was almost the same as the third coffin. The man in her family died on the day of their wedding.
Jia Sidao and I immediately felt something was wrong, because the woman said that she always dreamed of her man telling her to her child, and listening to the brother’s tone, the woman just got married and the man died. How did the child come?
I asked my doubts. Brother took a deep breath and said that the parents of the two of them did not agree with the marriage. They eloped and became pregnant six times. I don’t know why. The six children had not yet been born. He died in his belly. Later, when both parents saw that they were pitiful, they agreed to their marriage. Who would have thought that the man died suddenly when the two were holding a banquet.
We hurriedly asked how the brother knew about these things. The brother said he could see it. We asked him how he could tell. The brother just gave us a deep smile and said that the master would tell us in the future.
Jia Sidao and I stared at it for a while, and then asked how the woman's man died.
Unexpectedly, the brother just sighed, didn't say anything, just suffocated his head and smoked. After smoking the cigarette, the brother stood up and said that we would carry the tree back and hit the coffin at night. We just need to watch it from the side, don't touch it.
Jia Sidao and I wanted to ask the reason, but the brother looked solemn and didn't dare to ask, so we followed the brother back to the village carrying the trees.
