The next day, the blind mother-in-law came with Little Sniffle to express her thanks.
Zhang Qingdi still entertained him patiently.
Although the old woman is blind, she has a clear mind.
She sat for a while and then left, leaving only Little Sniffle alone.
"Boss Zhang, is that wood carving really called Xiao Zhazha?" Little Sniffle couldn't help but question.
"You call him Little Snivel, why can't he be called Little Zhazha!" Zhang Qingdi was in a bad mood today.
I always feel that I am missing the point when trying to carve out the Four Heavenly Kings among the Five Heavenly Kings.
"My name is not Little Sniffle, my grandma named me Zhong Kui!"
"Zhong Kui?"
"Well, the leader's leader!" Little Sniffle was proud said.
"What a name!" Emperor Zhang Qing gave a few false compliments.
"Don't call me little slug anymore."
"Okay, little slug."
Zhong Kui was incompetent and furious for a while and left. Sometime he brought a basket of fresh peaches to Zhang Qingdi. Emperor Zhang Qing was not polite. After washing it, he ate one and it tasted good.
Many people in the town came to see the blind mother-in-law in the past few days because their family members were disturbed by evil spirits.
The blind mother-in-law prescribed some medicine for them, and then said to them, "My medicine treats the symptoms, not the root cause!
If you want to cure the root cause, go to Boss Zhang's shop and ask for a wood carving."
< br>Of course, those who come to see the blind mother-in-law can trust her.
But some people still think that there is some deal between them, so Zhong Kui often goes to the wood carving shop to play. Maybe this is because the wood carving shop is about to run out of business, so I came up with this idea.
But some people still went.
Emperor Zhang Qing asked each of them to choose one.
Fifty coins each!
It’s not cheap, but it’s not expensive either.
After the wooden sculpture entered the house, there was really nothing wrong with the house.
Some people even feel that they feel very relaxed when sleeping.
It's like being blessed by gods.
Zhang Qingdi’s woodcarving shop became famous, but Zhang Qingdi stopped selling it.
This caused the price of his wood carvings to rise.
It’s not that Zhang Qingdi wants to make this money, but there are many people who don’t need it. Some of them seemed to have evil intentions, and he was even less willing to sell them.
Spring passed and autumn came, after five or six years of cold and heat.
Zhong Kui has become a teenager, and as he said, he is no longer a little slug.
The years of five or six years have also left traces on Emperor Zhang Qing’s face.
"Brother Zhang, Liu Yuanwai insists on marrying his daughter to you, why don't you agree?" Zhong Kui said regretfully.
"If you like it, go and marry him!"
In the past five or six years, Zhang Qingdi's wood carvings have become less and less.
Now sometimes he can't carve one in a year!
Zhong Kui is very worried that Brother Zhang will have no one to support him when he gets old.
"Brother Zhang, my grandma asked me to study. But I still want you to learn wood carving." Zhong Kui said with some regret.
"Go and study. If you don't know how to read or learn, you won't be able to make wood carvings." Zhang Qingdi said.
A few months later, Emperor Zhang Qing opened the door one night.
Zhong Kui's grandmother knelt at the door.
At this time, her eyes had recovered, and Emperor Zhang Qing could see that this was her soul.
"Come in."
"My ghost can't stand the magic weapons in this room." The old woman was pulled up by Emperor Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qingdi put his hand between her eyebrows.
"Thank you, Great Immortal!" This old woman has accumulated a lot of virtue by helping people see doctors. If he were reincarnated, he would be able to live in a wealthy family.
But he couldn't worry about his grandson. He wanted to be the city god of this place. But to be a city god, she is not qualified enough. Now with Emperor Zhang Qing's finger, she can become the city god of this place.
"Are you here because you are worried about your grandson?"
"Yes, my deadline has come. Now I have a chance to become a city god, but after all, there is a separation between yin and yang..." the old woman said sadly.
"The most I can do is help you enlighten him. As for what happens to him in the future, I won't care." Zhang Qingdi said seriously.
"This is already a lot of trouble for the Great Immortal." The old woman thanked her again.
Early the next morning, Emperor Zhang Qing went to Zhong Kui's house.
Looking at the white flags hanging in his house, I knew that the old woman was dead.
Zhong Kui's parents died when he was young, and he and his old woman depended on each other. After the old woman died, he seemed to have grown up overnight.
He greeted everyone thoughtfully, and when he saw Emperor Zhang Qing, he couldn't help but almost cried, but he quickly held it back.
Emperor Zhang Qing helped with the management, and Zhong Kui finally had time to spend time with the old man.
During this funeral, Emperor Zhang Qing didn’t use any harsh words once. Others made fun of him, but he just remembered the person’s appearance and passed away with a smile.
Master Qingdi will deal with him after finishing this matter! ! !
When the old man was buried, Zhong Kui finally cried.
He cried so hard that many people tried to persuade him.
But Emperor Zhang Qing said to him, "If you want to cry, cry as much as you want today, and start living a good life tomorrow.
This way your grandma will be happy when she sees it in Tianzhiling."
Emperor Zhang Qing Zhong Kui can listen very well.
After crying wildly, he never cried again in his life.
After the death of his old lady, Zhong Kui kept his filial piety while studying.
When he was resting, he would come to play with Emperor Zhang Qing.
In the past, Emperor Zhang Qing never kept track of time because time had no meaning to him.
But now he will record every day he spends. "Brother Zhang, are you really not planning to get married?" Zhong Kui, who has been a filial piety for three years, has turned into a young man. "The sisters waiting for you in this town are all married.
Now everyone says you are sick!"
"You are sick! They are sick! Who said that? Tell me, I will make him sick every day this year." Zhang Qingdi said angrily.
Zhong Kui laughed loudly but did not tell Emperor Zhang Qing.
"Do you still want to learn wood carving from me?" Zhang Qingdi asked.
"No! I am going to study abroad with my husband. Sculpting cannot realize my ambition." He said seriously.
"What is your ambition?" Zhang Qingdi said with a smile.
"I want to do something for the people. I don't want to live my whole life like a fool." Zhong Kui said seriously.
“Good ambition!” Emperor Zhang Qing was very perfunctory. "Where's the little scumbag I gave you?"
"Miss Wan'er is frail and sick, so I gave it to her." Zhong Kui said shyly. "Brother Zhang, aren't you angry?"
"It is your freedom to whom you give the things given to you. Miss Wan'er, is she the one with sharp teeth when she smiles?" Zhang Qingdi smiled asked.
Zhong Kui is even more embarrassed.
Emperor Zhang Qing gave him a statue of a green snake.
The green snake was scarred and looked dying.
But there is an aura of fighting against heaven and earth all over his body.
"I'm giving it to you. Don't give this to anyone else. If you want someone to die, just give it to someone." Zhang Qingdi said.
“Brother Zhang, what is the name of this green snake?”
"Master Qing!" Emperor Zhang Qing said.
“This name is really big.” Zhong Kui looked at the green snake, “But I think it is the only one worthy of this name!”
This flattery is very good.
A few days later Zhong Kui went on a study tour with his husband and fellow students.
Counting the time, Emperor Zhang Qing has been here for ten years.
Now he looks like a man in his thirties, and with his blue gown, all the women in the town between the ages of sixteen and fifty-six secretly admire him!
After Zhong Kui left, besides sculpting, Emperor Zhang Qing also scolded the guys in the town!
These guys don’t think highly of their wives and daughters. They love to laugh at themselves. What does it have to do with me!
A caravan came to the town a few days ago.
The head of the village greeted people very attentively. Emperor Zhang Qing heard someone say that this was someone from the Qingli Chamber of Commerce.
It is said that the Qingli Chamber of Commerce is very powerful, and the seven or eight small countries around it have to give him some face.
The most amazing thing is that the president of the chamber of commerce is a woman.
When Emperor Zhang Qing returned to his store, there was a middle-aged man standing at the door.
"Boss Zhang, Mr. Liu wants to see your wood carvings."
"Okay." Zhang Qingdi said. “I have carved less in recent years, so I don’t negotiate the price.”
"Then let's see if the goods are good!" the middle-aged man said proudly.
In the past, Master Qingdi would have asked him if he wanted his life!
But now he just opened the door silently.
The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw those wood carvings.
Finally, his eyes stopped in front of a wooden sculpture of a girl killing a wolf.
"Have you heard the story of our president?"
"No! But I heard someone told the story of a girl who killed a wolf. I thought it was interesting, so I carved it." Zhang Qingdi said with a smile. .
"Make a price!"
"Three thousand taels!"
The mayor was shocked at how much money this piece of shit could be sold for.
"Okay!" The middle-aged man agreed.
The manager looked at Zhang Qingdi casually throwing three thousand taels of silver into the cash box. If you don't think he has some evil thoughts, it must be fake.
But he quickly suppressed his evil thoughts.
On the way back, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "This man is really greedy. Three thousand taels of silver is enough to buy him a few lives."
The mayor stood by and laughed. , but said nothing.
"Please keep the peace in your town, don't let him dissect his body on the street tomorrow morning." The middle-aged man said in a bad tone.
The manager thought for a while and said, "Boss Zhang has been here for more than ten years.
At that time, there was a lot of evil going on here. Grandma Zhong gave me some advice to make the family evil. Go and buy a wood carving from him."
"It works?"
"It works!"
"One more thing. There used to be a few gangsters in the town. They thought he was a foreigner and because his words were so unpleasant, they always wanted to cause trouble for him.
These gangsters finally wanted to kill him. The store burned down."
"How did you know that?"
"The only survivor said it himself."
"Oh, how did they die? ”
"Those who were burned to death." The chief glanced at the middle-aged man and said.
“These guys are so stupid, they set fire to themselves and burned themselves to death.” The middle-aged man couldn’t help laughing.
The mayor laughed and said, "It rained all night, how could they set a fire?"
"Where did the fire that burned them to death come from?" Middle-aged The man asked in confusion.
He now feels that the chief here is probably in the same group as Zhang Qingdi.
"It's the fire coming out of their bodies!" There was a hint of fear in Li Chang's tone.
"It's just a trick used by charlatans to deceive people." The middle-aged man said mockingly.
He has traveled around for many years and thinks he has seen too much.
But people will eventually pay the price for their self-righteousness! (End of this chapter)
