Chapter 23 Talismans

"Don't fold it, put it in the car."

Sixth Master turned his head and saw Su Xiaoxiao took out the Che Gongfu, his expression tightened.

"Oh, these are similar to those talismans sold in the antique market."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't talk back, and put the chariot talisman back, and a few people followed behind Master Liu, and soon came to the parking place at the entrance of the village.

"Xiao Xiao, we don't have any good things in our village, just take these few talismans."

Before Su Xiaoxiao got into the car, the sixth master grabbed her, handed a big envelope into Su Xiaoxiao's hand, and said, "It's not very peaceful now, so be careful when you're outside. These amulets are the most important thing you usually Good to take with you.

Your father said that he bought a new house in the city, and there is a town house talisman in it, and he pasted it on the door when he went back! "

"Ah? Grandpa Six, what's the matter with you today?"

Su Xiaoxiao was a little dumbfounded by the sixth grandfather's words. She went to Yanjing to go to school as a girl. What does it mean to bring such a few talismans?
"I'll take it for you, be obedient."

The Sixth Master didn't say much, and looked at Su Xiaofan, "Your father and I are not enemies, you boy should go back to the village to see if you have nothing to do, don't do your own things and don't learn, go to the antique market to learn those messy things."

"Understood, Sixth Grandpa, I will send my little sister to Yanjing and come back to learn crafts from you."

Su Xiaofan nodded when he heard the words, he thought Grandpa Six was talking about the craft of making bronze ware, not to mention, even the top craftsmen in China are far behind Grandpa Six in terms of the craftsmanship of imitation and restoration of ancient bronze ware.

"Okay, let's go, pay attention to safety on the road." Standing in front of the car, Master Liu waved his hand.

"Xiaofan, are you here to drive?"

Zheng Dagang looked at Su Xiaofan, "I'm not very familiar with the road here, I can't see clearly at night, don't worry about it."

Sujia Village is located at the foot of Mang Mountain, and there is still a small road of seven or eight kilometers away from the town, and then another five or six kilometers to get on the highway.

Many of these trails are in the fields, and there are ditches on both sides. It is good to have a wide view during the day, but if you drive at night, Zheng Dagang is afraid that he will drive the car into the ditch.

"Okay, Brother Gang, you take the co-pilot."

Su Xiaofan opened the door of the driver's seat. After recovering from a car accident in high school, he went to take the driver's license test. In Su Xiaofan's own words, taking the driver's license test and learning the traffic rules can be regarded as gaining wisdom through learning.

Su Xiaofan is very familiar with Zheng Dagang's SUV, skillfully starting with the ignition in gear, and sometimes he and Zheng Dagang go shopping together, both of which are driven by Su Xiaofan.

"Grandpa Liu, go back." Su Xiaofan opened the car window and greeted Master Liu, and the car drove into the night.

"Xiao Xiao, what talisman did Liu Ye give you? Show it to Brother Gang."

Zheng Dagang turned his head and saw Su Xiaoxiao opened the envelope, took out a few pieces of yellow talisman paper, and stretched out his hand out of curiosity.

"I didn't see Sixth Grandpa believed this before."

Su Xiaoxiao handed the talisman in his hand to Zheng Dagang.

"Who knows what's going on, and I don't know what kind of talismans these are." Su Xiaofan was driving the car, but he couldn't turn his head to look.

"Not to mention, these talismans are much better in appearance than those bought in our market."

Zheng Dagang got a total of three talismans in his hands, and he felt the difference as soon as he got started.

Objects used by Taoism are very common in the antique market. They belong to the category of miscellaneous items, and they are also related to magic tools. They just belong to Zheng Dagang's business scope. This vision is much stronger than Su Xiaofan's.

"This yellow paper is specially made. It's not the kind of wholesale market. It's much thicker. Hey, this is actually hard yellow paper. The paper alone is quite valuable..."

Zheng Dagang looked at the talisman in his hand with some surprise. The hard yellow paper he mentioned was a kind of artistically processed paper made in the Tang Dynasty. It was made by dyeing and waxing and calendering. It was called hard yellow or yellow hard.

The paper produced in this way is easy to store for a long time, and its luster is smooth. Because the amurberry juice is used to dye the paper, it can not only be used as a yellow dye, but also can prevent moths. Now many scriptures and picture books handed down from the Tang Dynasty are mostly made of this kind. written on paper.

However, in Zheng Dagang's view, the yellow paper used for these talismans is not a fake craftsmanship of the Tang Dynasty, but a modern imitation, otherwise the paper alone could be considered a cultural relic.

Zheng Dagang began to comment on the paper first, Su Xiaofan and Su Xiaoxiao who were driving listened with gusto.

To draw a talisman, you need four things, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, just like the four treasures of the study, one is indispensable, and cinnabar is also needed.

The pen refers to the writing brush. This ordinary writing brush is fine. If you are more demanding, you can use the writing brush made of wolf hair. It is said that the wolf hair has spirituality and the brush made by it is better.

Generally, two pens are needed, one vermilion pen and one black pen, depending on the situation.

Ink and inkstone are pine ink, the inkstone can be used for normal writing, and there is no need for special manufacturing.

The most important thing is paper, yellow paper needs to be used, and when put together with cinnabar, it is Zhushu yellow paper.

"This Shizhen house talisman, this one is a breaking evil talisman, hey, there is also a healing talisman, does this thing work?"

Zheng Dagang identified all three talismans. These things are very common. He would buy a batch and sell them in the antique market every Chinese New Year. However, the quality of those talismans is much worse, and it is possible to hold them with a little force in his hand. torn apart.

Seeing that the road ahead was not so narrow, Su Xiaofan turned his head and glanced at the talisman in Zheng Dagang's hand, and suddenly several messages appeared in his mind.

[Repair value: 3 points! 】

[The low-level incomplete Shasha Talisman can be repaired, and the repair value needs to be deducted by 1 point. Do you want to repair it? 】

[The low-level incomplete town house talisman can be repaired, and the repair value needs to be deducted by 1 point. Do you want to repair it? 】

[The low-level incomplete healing talisman can be repaired, and the repair value needs to be deducted by 1 point. Do you want to repair it? 】

"Are they all low-level incomplete talismans?"

Looking at the information in his mind, Su Xiaofan was already powerless to complain.

So far, except for the Han Wang Ding at the entrance of the village, which is a complete magic weapon, the other magic weapons and talismans that Su Xiaofan encountered are all incomplete, but from the surface, Su Xiaofan can’t see where there is any incompleteness .

"Never mind whether the talismans are useful or not, this paper is pretty good." Zheng Dagang put the three talismans in an envelope and returned them to Su Xiaoxiao,

"Brother Gang, you are in the utensil business, don't you know if it is useful?"

Su Xiaoxiao knew that in the past every Chinese New Year, the door gods and fortune talismans brought back by her brother were all taken from Zheng Dagang.

Su Xiaoxiao put the envelope into her brother's bag, and took out the bell inside to play with.

"Xiao Xiao, brother Gang doesn't know, I only sell it, but it doesn't work."

Zheng Dagang replied with a bit of a guilty conscience, buying a hundred or ten pieces of talisman from the wholesale market for a few tens of dollars, it would be hell if it was really useful.

"It should be useful. Maybe we can use it if we encounter something unclean."

Su Xiaofan said, recently saw a lot of incomplete instruments and talismans, at least they are different from modern handicrafts, but Su Xiaofan doesn't know what their function is.

"Why is it foggy up ahead? Xiaofan, drive slowly."

Zheng Dagang saw the fog ahead from the windshield, and quickly greeted Su Xiaofan.

"It's okay, that place is a threshing floor, and the foggy place is on the side."

Su Xiaofan opened his mouth and replied, he is very familiar with the terrain here, he used to often ride a bicycle back and forth, and he couldn't go wrong with his eyes closed.

"Brother, did you hit the mark, did you come across something unclean?"

Su Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the back row, changed her voice in a low voice: "I died so badly, come and save me."

"Hey, don't, Xiaoxiao, don't scare Brother Gang."

Hearing Su Xiaoxiao's voice, Zheng Dagang who was sitting in front suddenly shuddered. He was originally a bold person, but that also scored the time and place.

People who live in Luochuan don't know that Mangshan Mountain is a place with tombs on top of tombs and countless tombs layered on top of each other. The ghost stories from here can be written into a book.

And Zheng Dagang's car is now driving at the foot of Mang Mountain. Zheng Dagang absolutely believes that if they dig more than ten meters down from where their car is, there will be a tomb. Su Xiaoxiao pretending to be a ghost in such an environment will indeed scare people to death of.

"Brother Gang, don't listen to her, she still scares others with her courage."

Su Xiaofan, who was driving the car, curled his lips. He used to take his younger sister back to the village on a bicycle. The two often told each other ghost stories. Someone else is coming.

"Hey, brother, brother, well... it seems that there is a ghost..." Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao's trembling voice sounded.

"Come on, are you still scaring me?"

Su Xiaofan sneered, "Ghosts are also transformed from living people, even their bodies are gone, so there is nothing to be afraid of, you find one and watch my brother catch ghosts for you."

Su Xiaofan is not bragging, he is really courageous, the way back to the village from the town used to pass through a pile of burial mounds.

It is said that some ancient craftsmen were buried in that mass grave, and later became a place where refugees were buried. During the war, many bandits were also buried here.

The graves in Luan Graves are very shallow, and some coffin boards can be washed out in a heavy rain. At night, "wild fire" caused by human bones can be seen everywhere, and most people don't want to pass here at night.

But Su Xiaofan didn't care, when he was studying in the town, he rode his bike home every night after self-study.

Once it was so dark that Su Xiaofan couldn't see the way, so he simply found two phosphorescent bones in the random graveyard, and tied them to the front handlebar of the bicycle.

Not to mention, when the wind blows and rubs against each other, the phosphorus fire emitted by the bones can really illuminate him.

Later, the mass grave was moved away, Su Xiaofan was still very regretful, because every time he walked over there, he would scare his sister to tears.

Later, the old village chief found out about this matter, and called Su Xiaofan to scold him, not because he was brave, but because those bones were the bones of his predecessors, Su Xiaofan's behavior was too disrespectful to his ancestors.

"Xiaofan, well... it seems that there are indeed, then... there are two shadows over there."

Just when Su Xiaofan was teasing his younger sister, Zheng Dagang's voice also rang out, and his face looking out of the window was full of horror.

　Reading books and voting is a good habit, everyone should keep it.
