Taboo Master

Chapter 157 Bamboo Bird
This surprised us a lot. The beams that took so long to erect yesterday actually collapsed again?
Grandpa Yang Chen's face was very ugly. Facing the man's begging, he paced back and forth in the room, but didn't make a sound.

The man begged for a while, seeing that Grandpa Yang Chen didn't speak, he sighed and said, if this matter can't be resolved, then he can only abandon the land and don't want the new house, it's better than having an accident at home and not having peace.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Yang Chen said suddenly, even if you burn that house down now, you will hardly have peace.

He said that when he went to see the beams yesterday, he had already looked around. The Feng Shui orientation of the house was not a problem, and the day he chose was also an auspicious day, but it was the beams that caused the trouble. Now that the beams have been burned, With the talisman method, the evil spirit in the house has been eliminated. In this case, if the new beams collapse, there must be something else wrong.

When he said this, he hesitated again. Yang Chen couldn't wait to ask, could it be that the evil ghost was too powerful, and the talisman couldn't restrain him, making him run back again?
Grandpa Yang Chen glared at him, and said, children, don't talk too much, if that evil spirit was really that powerful, the person who erected the beam would have been killed in the past few days, how could it be as simple as collapse, this matter has nothing to do with you, hurry up I packed my things and went back to school.

While the old man was talking, he waved his hands repeatedly to signal us to leave, but Yang Chen had a playful smile on his face and didn't move at all. The old man was a little unhappy, so he slapped him, but finally shook his head and let it go helplessly. .

His behavior is a bit abnormal, I thought to myself, could it be that he has seen some ominous signs, and doesn't want Yang Chen and us to be implicated here?
After thinking about it, I said, "Could it be that there are some monsters hiding in the ground of the house or around it? Or, someone deliberately sabotaged it?"

When Grandpa Yang Chen heard this, he looked at me up and down, but didn't say anything. He walked outside silently, picked up a pile of bamboo strips, sat on the ground and started tinkering.

The man was in a hurry, and wanted to go up to talk to Grandpa Yang Chen, but Yang Chen pulled him away. He winked and said in a low voice, "My grandpa is trying to figure out a way for you, just wait."

Then, he pulled me and quietly ran aside, beckoning me to keep silent, and secretly watched.

Grandpa Yang Chen sat on the ground alone, without making a sound, still hunched over, the pile of bamboo strips fluttered up and down in his hands, as if he had life, and the old man's eyes gradually glowed, his whole body His aura has changed. At this moment, I suddenly saw the shadow of my grandfather in him.

After a while, the pile of bamboo strips turned into a bamboo bird in the dexterous hands of the old man, with a tail and wings, a plump skeleton, a sharp and slender beak, and a vivid life. Carved two eyes at the bottom, took out the ink fountain, and flicked some ink into the eyes, and the bamboo bird suddenly became spiritual and came to life.

My eyes were full of surprise, Yang Chen was triumphant, the neighbor Xu's eyes almost popped out, and after the old man made the bamboo bird, he got up to find a piece of yellow paper, took out the scissors, and cut it three times For those who divided five into two, they cut out a pair of paper scissors, and handed both the bamboo bird and the paper scissors to the person, who suddenly became much weaker, and said slowly, "Take these two things, When you get to your house, put the bamboo bird on the ground, and then do as I tell you, and if anything unusual happens, you will"

Before he finished speaking, the neighbor surnamed Xu knelt down, kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and said with a mournful face: "Mr. How can we ordinary people dare to touch this fetish of yours, besides, if something strange happens, we are afraid to die, I am afraid that we will miss your fetish."

Grandpa Yang Chen was silent, but the man was just begging. I could see that the old man was unwilling to go, and I must have some concerns in my heart, so I couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "You are really ignorant, Mr. Yang has given you a lot I have helped, but I am still not satisfied, is it just for your family's affairs, regardless of other people's embarrassment?"

Grandpa Yang Chen sighed and said: "It's not that I won't help you, but I have already figured out that if I come forward in person, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to me. That's all I can help you with. If this bamboo Birds and scissors can't deal with that evil thing, and I don't think I can do anything about it, I've tried my best as a neighbor of decades."

The man was stunned and speechless. Yang Chen frowned when he heard what his grandfather said, and volunteered: "Since it's not convenient for you, grandpa, then I'll go. Anyway, it's not the first time I've seen this thing. know how to use it."

Grandpa Yang Chen's face darkened, but he didn't speak. His right hand was tucked into the armhole, and his expression kept changing, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, he pondered for a while, looked at Yang Chen, and said slowly: "If you must go, then go, I'm afraid this matter cannot be avoided, but I'm old, and you are the only one under my knees." This grandson, if you are willing to listen to me, then do it, but my Yang family will be safe, if you are not obedient, no one will take care of me in the future, and I will have nothing to do."

When the old man said this, I couldn't help feeling awe-inspiring, Yang Chen was also stunned, and stepped forward and said loudly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I know that you have helped many people in the past few decades, and you are the most soft-hearted. Do what you order, and I will never decide on my own, I will definitely come back and serve you well."

The corners of the old man's eyes were moist, he sighed, said retribution twice, then called Yang Chen over, and whispered some instructions in his ear, Yang Chen squinted his eyes to listen, nodded vigorously, but his face was full of anger. All excited.

After a while, the old man finished his explanation, and handed the bamboo bird, paper cut and a jujube compass to Yang Chen, looked at him lovingly, waved and said, go, grandpa never asked you to do it before. What happened, this time, it is considered that you are helping grandpa.

Yang Chen nodded heavily, said that Grandpa was relieved, and dragged me out of the house with the neighbor named Xu.

At this moment, I also pay more attention to this matter, no longer like yesterday, I just feel curious and amusing, I have a faint feeling that there must be something strange about this matter.

When we came to the new house again, the situation was even more serious than yesterday. The brand new beam was thrown on the ground, covered with scorched marks, as if it had been burned by thunder and fire. Looking up at us.

We walked over, and the neighbor Xu surnamed looked nervous, and told everyone to get out of the way, then Yang Chen stepped forward vigorously, first took a closer look at the beam, then took out the compass, and walked slowly around the house After two laps, I stared at the compass nervously. After a long time, I finally determined a direction, so I put the compass away, took the bamboo bird from my hand, muttered a few words in my mouth, and went Put the bamboo bird on the ground, grab a handful of grain from his arms and sprinkle it in front of the bamboo bird, and then tell everyone to back off together, and no one is allowed to make noise.

Everyone retreated ten meters away with a clatter, and I was no exception. Only Yang Chen was holding the paper scissors and standing behind the bamboo bird, with a look of nervousness and excitement on his face.

After we all backed away, he chanted a few more spells, pressed something on the bamboo bird's head, and then quickly backed away. Then, he saw the bamboo bird jump suddenly, flapping its wings, and came alive !
Everyone was dumbfounded, and then saw the bamboo bird jump again, jumping in front of the small pile of grains, lowered its head, pecked a few grains, then raised its head and let out a cry, flapping its wings, just like that. Slowly flew up.

My heart was beating wildly, and my eyes were wide open. Although I am a little capable person, I have never seen such a magical and mysterious spell. It is clearly a bamboo bird made of bamboo strips. It is simply unbelievable that it can fly into mid-air after touching the rice.

Yang Chen also seemed very excited, and at the same time very nervous. He looked up at the bamboo bird circling in the air for several weeks, and suddenly made a cry, as if he had discovered something, and dived straight down from the sky!
