Hades sequence

Chapter 84: Sophora trees are something that ghosts like (please follow up)
Li Boqian gave many instructions and was relieved after receiving Jiang Jiuguo's promise to abide by Mr. Sanbu's rules.

"Today I will teach you about paper-making materials. Paper-making cannot be learned in a day or two. You can come over and learn from me when you have time in the future."

He said, sweeping the deserted storefront:
"Anyway, my shop is not open. It has been open for three years, and there are not many customers in normal times."

"I'm an old man, and I usually have a lot of free time in the store. You just come over. I will teach you how to make paper, and you will chat with me."

Jiang Jiuguo and Li Bo were very different in age, but they chatted quickly.

Uncle Li took out bamboo sticks one by one from the back door room:

"Xiao Jiang, when making paper products, you first need to know the materials needed to make them. In addition to paper being the first priority, you also need a frame. At this time, you have to use bamboo. Basically, the frame is built and then paper is attached. Now use rice milk and paste to paste it."

"So paper, bamboo, and paste are the three essential elements for paper binding. Of course, some old craftsmen do not use paste and rice milk, and the degree of sticking is not as fast as using modern glue and tape such as 502."

Three major elements of materials.

Li Bo was the first to talk about bamboo.

This is the most important support and structure for building paper-made products. He patiently explained the material selection to Jiang Jiuguo.

Which bamboos are suitable for keels, which bamboos are suitable for joints, etc.

"Uncle Li, if you don't have bamboo on hand, can you use something else instead?"

Jiang Jiuguo swung a flexible bamboo stick in his hand.

The purpose of learning to tie paper products is to improve the ability to deal with ghosts or sequencers. Sometimes it is necessary to temporarily tie up certain paper products to deal with them. It is impossible for him to carry enough bamboo sticks with him.

"Of course, you can use branches instead. If you don't make it for burning, but just make it into a craft, you can use plastic products to build it."

"I used to make a little pigeon for my precious granddaughter, and I used a clothes drying rack, that kind of iron clothes drying rack."

After talking about it, Uncle Li gave another order:
"Oh, by the way, if you want to try it, Xiaojiang, but don't have the materials on hand, just remember not to use the branches of the locust tree."

Jiang Jiuguo raised his head and did not wait for Li Bo to explain.

He said: "Because the locust tree is easy to attract dirty things?"

"correct."

Uncle Li was a little surprised, then he smiled with relief and said, "Xiao Jiang, are you also doing your homework? This matter about the Sophora japonica tree is quite biased, you can find out everything."

"That's not true, Uncle Li. I know that this is because I usually like strange powers and gods. I also studied folk customs and customs in college. I know some ghosts and ghosts in folk customs."

"Coincidentally, Xiao Jiang, you are the same as my precious granddaughter. My granddaughter usually likes these things. It may be that I told her these ghost stories and customs when I was young. She is now a little girl in her twenties, and she always likes to talk to me. Inquire about these."

When it comes to his granddaughter, Uncle Li's love for his granddaughter is written all over his face.

"Oh? Really?" Jiang Jiuguo was a little surprised: "There are very few girls in this era who like ghosts. Most of them like makeup and stuff."

"Yeah, but my granddaughter also likes to dress up. The makeup she buys and wears are all expensive. Anyway, I don't understand these things. It's good that Jintong likes it. After all, money is what you earn. It’s just for spending, just save as much as you can.”

After Li Bo finished speaking, he found that the topic was off track, so he returned to craftsmanship:
"Little Jiang, you know that folk customs, ghosts, and feudalism are better. In the future, there are many academic rules for paper-making, and these will be used. The locust tree is one of them."

"According to ancient legends, the locust tree is a favorite thing for ghosts, and it is also the easiest to attract those dirty things. If you use the locust tree to make paper, those dirty things will easily get attached to it, especially if the things you tie are related to living creatures. "

"For example, if a paper figurine is stuck, it will be bad if dirty things get attached to it. This is actually the reason why the paper figurine is not eye-catching."

"There is a rule for paper-making. Paper products are related to living things, especially human beings. They cannot be made too lifelike, because they are living things, but they are empty, have a shell and have no soul. Dirty things can be attached to the body. Go and become the soul within."

"That's why you can't put eyes on the paper figurine. No matter how similar the paper figurine looks, it has no eyes. Even if something dirty gets attached to it, it will become blind because of the lack of eyes."

Li Bo was afraid that Jiang Jiuguo would be overheard by his words.

He then joked:

"It's hard for a dirty thing that can't see anything to harm people, so you can't give the paper man eyes, so you don't have to worry about the dirty thing temporarily possessing you, haha."

Is it not good to hurt people...

That's not necessarily the case.

Jiang Jiuguo suddenly thought of the white cloth female ghost and Gui Miyan, both of them were blind, but Gui Miyan killed people simply and brutally.

As for the white cloth female ghost.

It is even more unknown and dangerous, and the level of terror cannot be estimated.

speak up.

If you encounter these two ghosts again, can you use paper figures made of locust trees, or small animals, to lure them away? Locust trees are easy to attract ghosts.

No. 47 said that ghosts only appeared in modern times, but many customs and taboos about ghosts are closely related to real ghosts.

was thinking.

"This is also the reason why the paper makers use bamboo as their framework."

Uncle Li didn't know what Jiang Jiuguo was thinking, so he patiently explained to him:

"Locust trees tend to attract dirt, but bamboo is the opposite. It has always been said to ward off evil spirits. In addition, bamboo has good toughness, so it has been passed down from generation to generation to use bamboo strips to tie paper."

Jiang Jiuguo put away his random thoughts and listened carefully to Professor Li Bo.

Uncle Li not only talks about patience.

The explanations are also easy to understand.

Perhaps the older generation has experienced a lot of life along the way and knows the painstaking craftsmanship involved, so they have developed good patience early on.

He took the trouble to answer Jiang Jiuguo's questions. When Jiang Jiuguo didn't understand something, he would stop and explain it several times.

Time passed as the two talked.

Jiang Jiuguo's cell phone rang, and the caller ID showed - sister.

"Brother, where are you? It's almost noon. Mom asked me to ask if you're going home for dinner."

Sister Jiang Xinyue said in an airy tone:
"Yanyan and I went to Sam's Supermarket after running and bought a lot of snacks for you, brother."

"Okay, I'll go home later, you can eat first."

After Jiang Xinyue's call, Jiang Jiu realized that the time was already 12 noon.

Meal time.

Jiang Jiuguo said goodbye to Li Bo:

"Uncle Li, it's getting late. It's time for dinner. My family asked me to go back for dinner. I'll go back first. You also have dinner early. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

I have to go to my sister-in-law's place in the afternoon, and I can't continue to learn crafts with Uncle Li for the time being.

However, after studying this morning, Jiang Jiuguo learned a lot about paper-making techniques and benefited a lot. He also learned a lot of customs.

"Have a family? I'm not an orphan. That's great."

Uncle Li thought to himself.

On the surface, he waved his hand and said:
"Hey, it's all over now, Xiao Jiang, go back to eat quickly, you have to eat on time, it's good for your health."

In Li Bo's heart, Xiao Jiang is not just a child.

Still a patient.

Taking care of your body is very important, and you may be able to get better.

"By the way, Uncle Li, I'll pay for these things first. I want to take them home and study paper-making. Is that okay?"

Before Jiang Jiuguo left, he passed by table paper AK47 and other paper products.
