- It has been four days since Ling Ning arrived at Su's house.
She was busy working on the talisman these days, and she had nothing to do until it was completed. By the way, she has almost visited the Su Garden, and she has left her footprints in some places with unique scenery.
In her spare time, she would also go to Su You's place to sit for a while.
Tell her stories, play games with herthat's it for the day.
It¡¯s almost noon, and the bright sun hangs high in the south sky.
Ling Ning left Su You's residence and walked up to a six-story attic.
This attic is by Dongyue Lake, opposite the book pavilion.
The sixth floor of the attic is an observation deck. There is nothing special on it, only a few tables and chairs.
When Ling Ning stood by the guardrail and looked out, most of the garden came into view.
The entire garden is centered around Dongyue Lake. There are buildings all over Dongyue Lake, including small buildings in the middle of the lake, lakeside pavilions, and exquisite courtyards a little further away. Among these dozens of building complexes, there are two kinds of roads: crisscrossing waterways linking every attic and every waterside pavilion. The sky corridor connects the attic waterside pavilions not far apart from mid-air, forming an intoxicating scenery everywhere.
The window door was not closed, and from this position, Ling Ning could still see the scenery in the book pavilion.
The eldest lady hasn¡¯t gotten up yet, and is lazily lying on the low table to rest.
Ling Ning concentrated for a moment, and she found a trace of dried tears in the corner of the young lady's eyes.
It¡¯s a strange thing to say!
Having lived here for several days, she has never seen this guy leave this kind of bookstore.
Whether it¡¯s resting or eating, whether it¡¯s washing or sleeping. The eldest lady of the Su family would finish her work in that small attic, as if it was as if she was never ready to leave this small attic.
¡¡
Just when Ling Ning was immersed in her own thoughts, there was a gentle footsteps behind her.
"Xiao Ning, the talisman paper has entered the final stage. Are you interested in taking a look together?" The person here is Xun Niang. She is wearing a somewhat special brown-yellow classical Hanfu today. The cuffs are deliberately cut off, and the chest is Several strange symbols were embroidered on the black thread. Her posture was dignified, like a beautiful lady about to attend an important banquet.
"It really doesn't matter if I'm an outsider visiting? Aunt Xun, am I saying that these things don't need to be kept secret from outsiders?"
"It's not serious. Didn't I tell you before? The Su family has no secrets. After our ancestors quit the demon-slaying family, the contact with those friends was not severed. At first, we chose the business of making talisman paper because we wanted to help those friends. Good demon slayers provide convenience. Later, because the talismans we made were favored by many people, more and more demon slayers came and went, and this became the talisman paper family."
"As long as the guest is willing, we will take him to see the process of making talisman paper in the Su family." Xun Niang smiled slightly and asked her: "Xiao Ning, are you interested in following me to see it?"
"Of course, I'm bored."
"Come with me." Xun Niang led the way and made a gesture of invitation.
Ling Ning followed Xun Niang, and they went down to the attic one after another.
¡¡
The yard where the talisman paper is made is some distance away. Xun Niang held a small boat and paddled along the shore of Dongyue Lake for more than ten minutes. Entering the ferry, there is a cobblestone path. At the end of this path, there is a peach forest with a small courtyard inside.
As the saying goes:
The beauty of April in the world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom.
I always regret that I can¡¯t find a place to return in spring, and I don¡¯t know where to turn.
It¡¯s June outside, but this peach forest is bustling and gorgeous.
There was a unique fragrance of peach trees lingering among the peach trees. Ling Ning raised her head and a peach blossom fell on the tip of her nose.
??Take a gentle sniff, full of fragrance.
"How about it? It's beautiful here."
Xun Niang opened her hands and bathed in the rain of petals. The fatigue on her face faded slightly, revealing a hint of sincere joy.
At this moment, she is like a blue pheasant girl
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to her girlhood.
She is no longer Su Yi¡¯s aunt, nor is she their guardian.
She is just Xun Niang, her sister¡¯s sister.
However, the past is gone.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment.
Seeing Xun Niang making such girlish movements, Ling Ning covered her mouth and chuckled.
It wasn¡¯t until she saw Xun Niang¡¯s reproachful eyes that she restrained herself slightly.
She hugged this person from behindPretty Aunt: "Aunt Xun, you looked so beautiful just now!"
¡°I¡¯m old and no longer beautiful.¡±
"Nonsense, Aunt Xun is not old at all, she is eighteen years old~"
"Xiao Ning's little mouth is so sweet."
"Hmph, I'm serious!"
"Well, it's great to be eighteen every year. I wish Xiao Ning to be eighteen every year."
"Hehe, maybe I already am." Ling Ning grinned and whispered softly.
"Xiao Ning, what did you say?"
"No" Ling Ning let go of her hand and looked at the blooming flowers in front of her:
¡°Xun Niang, it¡¯s already June, has this peach forest not fallen yet?¡±
"Ah, this peach grove will never fade away. This peach grove was planted when our ancestor quit the demon-killing family and chose to live in seclusion here. At first, the ancestor simply loved peach blossoms and wanted to plant them in Su Garden. One piece. But slowly, after more than ten years, he felt bored. He was good at wine, so he picked peach blossoms to make wine. In order to have peach blossoms all year round, he thought of many ways, and finally he used these peach blossoms to make wine. The trees are all transformed, springing every day and falling every night.¡±
"That senior is really" Ling Ning was embarrassed. For the peach blossom wine, this senior really worked hard. .
Rewriting these Taomu¡¯s life information, I think that senior is quite powerful.
"Haha, of course the head of the Su family at that time would not let him mess around. After the Su family started making talisman paper, this peach forest became the raw material for talisman paper I heard someone mentioned that the senior before his death I still miss the peach blossom wine I buried."
Walking to the path full of peach blossoms, they entered the small courtyard.
The main entrance is a living room, empty.
Ling Ning followed Xun Niang into a door next to the hall.
This is a corridor with neatly arranged scarlet lanterns on both sides.
After entering the corridor, Ling Ning frowned instinctively.
It felt bad, she felt a clearer sense of voyeurism here.
Every time she walked past a red lantern, she felt like someone was watching her from behind.
And when she picked up her energy and stared at the lantern, the sense of voyeurism disappeared again.
Lantern - more like the eyes of something than a lamp!
In Ning¡¯s eyes, the lantern is the source of this sense of voyeurism.
"Aunt Xun, did you put these lanterns up? They don't look good."
"You said lanternsI don't know that either. By the way, my sister told me that these lanterns existed a long, long time ago. Maybe before we came here."
¡°Before coming here?¡±
¡°¡This is the secret.¡±
When Ling Ning left the corridor, the lantern returned to normal again.
¡¡
Walking out of the corridor, in front of Ling Ning was a room with four doors.
There were doors open on all sides of the room, and Xun Niang took her into the one on the east side. This room is about seven or eight meters long and wide. There are two huge stone mills on both sides of the room, and in the center is a round pool more than three meters long.
The round pool is half full of unknown liquid.
The color is brownish-yellow and crystal clear.
There is no one in this room No, there is a moving person on the edge of the stone!
Ling Ning walked over and wanted to say hello.
Then¡¡
"Aunt Xun, what are these?"
Under the two stone mills, there are several figures pushing.
This is not a person, this is a puppet!
These puppets are not very fine in workmanship. They have human figures but have a human look.
The wooden doll is dressed in black ancient clothing, as if it has not changed for hundreds of thousands of years.
From the details of the body and cheeks, Ling Ning saw their essence.
In the corner of the room, a ray of sunlight came from the empty window. The light diffused, leaving patches of light in the slightly dark room. In the light and shadow, there is an ancient corona. As time passes, the corona's shadow slowly moves.
When the time comes, eight wooden dolls are pushing the raw materials for papermaking into a stone mill, slowly grinding them.
A dozen more paper-making puppets took over the raw pulp and began to boil the raw materials.
They poured the ground ingredients into the pot, and there was no change in the liquid that seemed to have been boiling for a long time.
It¡¯s just that the color is slightly darker and seems to be much thicker.
"There's only one last step left. Xiao Ning, just watch."
A wooden doll took a copper plate from the wooden frame and came over, placing it under the light.
?Ling Ning came closer and took a closer look. On the copper plate were dozens of notebooks that Su Yi had read.
The brilliance condensed, and a piece of sky light condensed.
After a while, hot steam came out of the copper plate.
A spark jumped out of the light and ignited the note.
It didn¡¯t take long for these notes to show signs of scorch.
The corona reaches noon
After a burst of brilliant light, the notes on the copper plate turned into black charcoal.
The wooden figure scatters a small cluster of black ash into the sky.
Without the condensed brilliance, the air suddenly became dull.
dignified, gloomy, strange, resentful
All kinds of negative emotions emerge from people¡¯s hearts
Countless demons and ghosts emerged from the black ashes, including ferocious life-seeking ghosts, headless old corpses, and demonic foxes with murderous eyes They roared upwards, roaring towards Ling Ning.
Then, thirteen strong wills burst out from the demons and monsters.
The roar from the depths of the soul soared into the sky, and the thoughts of killing all the demons and eliminating the aliens broke through the sky and rose to the high sky. Vaguely, Ling Ning saw the embodied forms of thirteen strands of will: a page of talisman paper, a pitch-black Dao sword, a complicated mantra, and a fist with gray muscles and bones
The moment these wills emerged, all the remaining auras of demons and aliens in the world were wiped out!
The sky is getting warmer and the thirteen strands of will are condensed and stagnant on the copper plate.
"What's this?"
Reaching out towards the pitch-black Dao sword in the copper plate, Ling Ning felt a faint sense of repulsion from the Dao sword.
Xun Niang came over and picked up the copper plate:
"This is the power to subjugate demons. The reason why the talismans made by the Su family are favored by many demon slayers is precisely because these talismans themselves have the power to subdue demons that far exceeds ordinary talismans."
As she spoke, she poured the will condensed on the copper plate into the round pool.
The brownish-yellow liquid suddenly boiled, evolving into endless phenomena.
??The path of monsters, the path of wronged souls, the path of hungry ghosts, the path of evil spiritsinfinite phantoms emerge, and are eventually extinct under the killing of humanity!
When the brownish-yellow liquid became clear, a paper puppet came over.
It scoops up the liquid in the pool and puts it into two empty boxes with hundreds of layers.
"In another quarter of an hour, the talisman will be completed."
Xun Niang took the two cartons handed over by the paper puppet and weighed them: "Because of the rush, we divided the talisman paper into three batches. The batch we just completed only has two boxes. This one There will be 2,300 talisman sheets generated in the paper box. You can take a box back and these should be enough for you to use for a while."
"That should be enough."
Two thousand three hundred talismans
Ling Ning nodded and took the carton.
Then she looked at the puppet working in the room with interest, and poked at the paper puppet.
Turning around, Ling Ning asked curiously: "Did you also make these dolls? They are really amazing. I also want a few dolls Help me clean the room, and you can also help me brush up the dungeon!"
"Xiao Ning, you are really grown up, so you can't be too playful." Xun Niang laughed: "Strictly speaking, these dolls are not from the Su family, but gifts that my sister exchanged with a friend during her lifetime. "
Reaching out to caress the doll holding the copper plate, Xun Niang fell into memories: "As you can see, in the past hundred years, for some unknown reason, there have been fewer and fewer people in our Su family. A long time ago , these talismans are all made by the family themselves. But since more than a hundred years ago, the Su family has not had the manpower Alas, let¡¯s not mention this."
"We said that the friend of the doll sister is a master of making dolls. At the cost of two plates of apples, the sister got thirty dolls that can maintain the operation of Suyuan."
"By the way, that guy also came with a hundred paper puppets."
"Your sister is really amazing"
"I think so too."
¡¡¡¡
After sending Ling Ning away, Xun Niang put the remaining cartons into a cabinet specially used to store talismans. She glanced at the stagnant dolls with a sigh on her face. If it weren't for the existence of these dolls, the Su family might not be making paper.
After walking out of the room and the small courtyard, Xun Niang walked towards the attic waterside pavilion of Xiaoyou's residence.
Halfway through the journey, she stopped and thought about it. It's always not good to be empty-handed, Xiaoyou said again that she was partial.
She went to the small town again and purchased some ingredients and fruits.
"Xiaoyou, are you feeling better?"
In the afternoon, Xun Niang opened the door and entered this place.An antique room.
She took out the thing hidden behind her: "Qiang Qiang Qiang! Xiaoyou, look, what is this!"
"Pomegranate!" The little girl lying on the bed, looking listless, suddenly beamed.
She came over and held the pomegranate in her arms.
She even rubbed her cheek against it.
After a while, she realized that the season was wrong: "Aunt Xun, are there pomegranates at this time?"
"Of course, when I saw Xiaoyou was unhappy, this little thing ran in front of me." Aunt Xun said, "I'm surprised too." She pointed at the pomegranate in Su You's hand: "Maybe this is a reward for good children~"
"Hmm~!"
Nodding, Xiaoyou couldn¡¯t wait to break open the pomegranate skin.
The business report is full, and everyone is blushing.
Xiaoyou¡¯s smile became even brighter, and she happily took a piece of fruit into her mouth.
"Is it tasty?"
"Yeah, I like to eat pomegranates the most." Nodding, the little girl picked a few more fruits and handed them to Xun Niang's hand: "Aunt Xun eats them too, they are delicious."
"I won't eat it. This is a reward for Xiaoyou~"
Xun Niang touched her little head: "Xiaoyou, eat slowly. Your cousin is getting up soon. I have to make her lunch."
"Aunt Xun always dotes on her sister like this?"
Putting a few fruits in her hand into her mouth, the girl felt a little tasteful: " I'm partial."
There was no response, Xun Niang just smiled in a low voice, showing a slightly sad expression: "Xiaoyou is still young, you will know when you grow up. And the eldest lady is not as capable as Xiaoyou. If no one takes care of her, she will He'll become a slob."
She stretched her hand to the girl's neck again and untied the layer of gauze: "Let Aunt Xun see if the dirty things have fallen out."
"No" The girl pulled the collar reluctantly.
As Xun Niang untied the gauze, the blue stain did not dissipate at all. If you look carefully, you can seem to see something inside. Xun Niang wiped the mark.
She frowned slightly, with doubt on her face.
"Aunt Xun, it's so ugly. When will it disappear?"
Like all girls of the same age, Youya doesn¡¯t like the ugly mark on her neck.
