Chapter 82 Shanbao, a gift for Li Siyu
Ding ding ding.
Clang clang clang.
The carving knife in Zhang Hao's hand hit the [Thunder Tribulation Wood] accurately, and sawdust mixed with charcoal black and fresh wood colors fell to the ground or Xiao Bai's body.
He looked focused and his eyes were firm.
Not long after, a prototype appeared in my hand.
The charred front end of the [Thunder Tribulation Wood] was carved into a rounded shape by him, while the rear end was much thinner. The whole thing looked like a simple mallet, with a large front end and a stick to support it.
Li Siyu was walking out of the room. When she saw him carving something, she only glanced at him curiously, without disturbing him, and walked silently to the bathroom in the southwest corner of the courtyard.
Zhang Hao seemed not to notice her, he had been holding the carving knife and carefully carving the [Thunder Tribulation Wood] in his hand.
After all, this is [Thunder Tribulation Wood], a real mountain treasure. If you want it to play its true role, you must concentrate on carving it.
As time passed by, the sun hanging high in the sky gradually moved westward.
It wasn't until the sun was approaching the top of the Western Mountain that Zhang Hao put down the carving knife in his hand.
call.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the small hammer carved in his hand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It's finally done.
This wooden hammer has a textured head, which is made from the charred front part of [Thunder Tribulation Wood], while the hammer handle is made from the back part of [Thunder Tribulation Wood]. The overall look is like the hammer head and The handle of the hammer seems to be separated, but it gives people a very strange, indescribable and wonderful feeling.
This is what Zhang Hao came up with after meditating hard for a whole day. He called it [Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer]. It was concise and easy to remember.
He raised the palm-sized hammer in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.
Although this Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer is small in shape and looks like a child's toy, this Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer is an artifact that can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters.
For example, the peach wood swords in the hands of Taoist warlocks are all made of lightning strike wood, which has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding disasters. The [Thunder Tribulation Wood] is several levels higher than the thunder strike wood, and it can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters. The ability will only be stronger, and it has other incredible uses...
Carrying this hammer with you, all the mountain elves and wild monsters will stand aside and never dare to approach.
It can be said to be a must-have artifact for hiking in the mountains.
He glanced at the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Hammer with satisfaction and carefully placed it in the Spirit-Reinforcing Basket.
Then, he found Xiaobai from the pile of sawdust and let the little guy take a walk in the yard by himself.
Then, he focused on the carved [Thunder Tribulation Wood], small pieces one by one, each one as big as a marble.
After looking at the scraps, Zhang Hao had no intention of throwing them away.
After all, these are scraps of [Thunder Tribulation Wood]. It would be too wasteful to just throw them away.
Pick up all the remaining small scraps and count them silently in the palm of your hand.
"1, 2, 3, 4... 13, exactly 13 yuan, then why not make a bracelet." Zhang Hao murmured to himself.
Bracelets are generally divided into 13, 14, 54, 108 and so on.
Each one has its own meaning.
For example, a bracelet with 13 beads, according to Buddhist thought, has thirteen levels of pagoda and thirteen sects, which represents the complete merits.
And Zhang Hao wants to make 13 bracelets, all because there are 13 small pieces.
Anyway, he was not interested in those Buddhist ideas.
Just do it.
Zhang Hao picked up the carving tools, also prepared the polishing tools, and started carving and polishing one by one.
The time this time was relatively short. It only took more than an hour. 6 small beads that were like black charcoal with veins on them, and 7 small beads that were wood color and had a smooth surface appeared in the palm of my hand. .
After punching holes one by one, he stood up and shouted into the house: "Siyu, Siyu!" After a long time, there was no response.
Zhang Hao was stunned and walked to the door of the main room. He saw that there was no one in front of the computer, and there was no trace of her in the room.
Are you too focused on carving that you didn’t notice that Siyu has gone out...
He smiled helplessly, and then placed the 13 Thunder Tribulation Wooden Beads in the Spirit-Reinforcing Basket.
Then, he walked into the kitchen, grabbed some fruits, an incense burner and standing incense, put them in the basket, and walked out the door.
The Jiaxian Temple has not been completely built yet. Counting the time, the cement is almost dry. It is a good time to go and complete the final steps of the Jiaxian Temple.
Walking through the village path and walking all the way to the entrance of the village, you will see the 'Jiaxian Temple'.
Although this is called a "temple", it is different from the majestic and famous ancient temples in various places.
Because of the special reason for the worship of the Five Immortals, this temple is also very small, only about half a meter high, with three floors. Four vertical ridges at the top divide the red tiles into four pieces. At the bottom, there is There is a small door that even Xiaobai cannot get through, and there is only a small window on the second and third floors, facing the direction of the mountain.
It's just that this Jiaxian Temple is still relatively simple. When the cement on the brickwork is completely dry, Zhang Hao paints it and outlines it a little to complete it.
After confirming that there was no problem, Zhang Hao picked up the tile knife again, stirred a little more cement, and plastered the outer layer of the Jiaxian Temple with cement to prevent the Jiaxian Temple from being corroded by the long rain.
The subsequent work was much simpler, and it didn't take long for Zhang Hao to complete the work himself.
Then, he took out the tribute fruits and incense burners that he had prepared in advance and placed them in front of the Jiaxian Temple.
Two small wooden fox statues were placed in the center of Jiaxian Temple.
Light three standing incense sticks, bow to the Jiaxian Temple, and insert them into the incense burner.
White smoke slowly rises, and the foxes in the Jiaxian Temple are lifelike, as if they are really like two little foxes sitting in it, enjoying his worship.
He looked up at the little fox statue, then turned to look at the mountain. Zhang Hao thought for a moment, then stood up and turned around silently to leave.
The next step is to wait for the little fox statue to enjoy worshiping every day.
……
As soon as he crossed the threshold and entered the small courtyard, Zhang Hao held Xiaobai in his arms and teased her.
By coincidence, Li Siyu came back with a basket at this time.
"I'm back." Zhang Hao hugged Xiaobai and said hello. The little guy seemed to know something and let out an "oooo~" sound.
Li Siyu smiled, stepped forward and gently stroked the bunch of golden hair on Xiao Bai's head.
"By the way, I have something good for you."
As he spoke, Zhang Hao handed Xiaobai to her, turned around and walked into the ear room.
When he came out, there were 13 more beads in his hand, which were black like charcoal or wood-colored, and he also held a coil in the other hand.
"Here, put Xiaobai down first, and I will measure the thickness of your wrist to see if this bracelet fits." Zhang Hao said while stringing the 13 beads one by one with thin thread. But it wasn't knotted.
Li Siyu looked confused, but still stretched out his wrist.
Zhang Hao took the unknotted bracelet and measured it on her white lotus-like wrist. The 13 beads were just right, not crowded or loose, as if they were tailor-made for Li Siyu. of general.
"Very good. I'll find a nicer hemp rope to string it up later." Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction, then raised his head and warned: "This thing is called the Thunder Tribulation Wooden Bracelet. It is used to ward off evil spirits, drive away bad luck, and protect people." It’s safe. Once you string it together, you must wear it on your hand day and night. Don’t take it off for anything. Remember this.”
Li Siyu looked at the 13 different beads and nodded confusedly: "Is this what you got from the mountain to make a bracelet?"
"Yeah, I carved a small hammer for myself, and then I saw there was some wood left, so I just made a bracelet for you to wear." Zhang Hao said, then turned around and walked into the back room, apparently going Stringing bracelets together.
Li Siyu stood on the bluestone, looking at his busy back, and the joy that could not be concealed in the depths of his eyes overflowed.
Whether this bracelet can ward off evil spirits or avoid disasters is something she doesn't value, and she doesn't necessarily believe it.
What she really valued was Zhang Hao's attitude towards her, his attitude of being able to think about himself and for himself, which made Li Siyu suddenly full of hope for the future.
