Lingxi said with satisfaction: "Now I have the consciousness to be a disciple."
I looked at Lingxi's still slightly red and swollen right cheek, and felt a little pain in my heart: "Whatever you want to eat tonight, my apprentice will make it for you."
"Cold kelp shreds, stir-fried cucumbers with green peppers, um... let's grill a fish. I want it sweet and sour," Lingxi said.
"As ordered." I pretended to salute Lingxi. Thinking about Sun You's family, I explained it carefully and waited for Lingxi's explanation.
"Watch what I do." Lingxi said innocently, "I can't save her mother-in-law."
"What?" I was dumbfounded and said anxiously: "No, Master, if you can't save me, how will we get the hair of ten thousand people?"
Lingxi bit into the crispy poached egg and said, "I can help you with some ideas, and you can handle the rest."
"No." I said depressedly, "I don't have any skills, so how can I solve this problem?"
"You don't know, Sun You hired a bunch of experts but couldn't cure her mother-in-law. I'm a little shrimp..." I pouted and said, "Master, please stop playing tricks on me."
Lingxi reached out and pinched my cheek and said, "Don't act like a baby with me, your master won't do that."
After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Master..." I looked at her pitifully.
Lingxi bit into the poached egg and said vaguely: "Find a papermaker to make a Ten Thousand Souls Umbrella in seventy-seven forty-nine days, and ask Sun You to recite the names of those lonely ghosts and burn them for her mother-in-law. This is
The matter is settled."
"So simple?" I didn't believe it.
Lingxi held a small pickle and said, "You think it's easy?"
"Isn't it?" I asked doubtfully: "Those lonely ghosts don't trust Sun You's mother-in-law anymore. Will burning a Ten Thousand Soul Umbrella for them be useful?"
"By the way, what is the Wanhun Umbrella?" I asked.
Lingxi finished the last bite of the poached egg and said with satisfaction: "Ten thousand shrouds are pieced together to make an umbrella. Every time you make a shroud, you have to recite the rebirth mantra."
"In addition, the papermaker who made the Wanhun Umbrella must bathe and wear clean clothes every day during these seven or seven forty-nine days, and avoid eating meat, fish, and alcohol."
"And the Ten Thousand Souls Umbrella must be able to be opened like a real umbrella to provide shade and shade for those ghosts."
"With the blessing of Buddhist scriptures, such a Ten Thousand Soul Umbrella can transcend those lonely souls and wild ghosts."
"They are naturally willing to settle this debt."
Lingxi explained: "A few decades ago, it would have been easy to spend a little more money and find a papermaker to tie the handle of the Wanhun Umbrella."
"But now, this industry has long since declined like the barber."
"Most of the paper-making shops on the street only make ordinary artifacts, such as paper figures, paper refrigerators, and color TV sets. It's a mess and a smoky mess."
"Ordinary papermakers don't have the guts and skills to take on something as difficult as the Ten Thousand Souls Umbrella."
Lingxi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and said, "Of course, there must still be a master papermaker, it's up to you to find him."
"The big hermit hides in the city, the small hermit hides in the wild. Ask more, master believes you can do it."
I said in confusion: "Master, please give me a hint, where can I find it?"
Lingxi crossed her legs and said cutely: "You still want to ask me such a simple question? Where did you go to find out about He Qing?"
"Uh." My eyes lit up and I blurted out: "Ghost Street?"
Lingxi took the remote control to adjust the channel and said: "Ghost Street is just one of them, don't put all your hopes there."
"You can go in and take a look at any paper-making shop in Zhongzhou, no matter how big or small it is."
"Even if those masters can't make the Ten Thousand Soul Umbrella, they may still be able to provide you with some information."
"What craftsmen pay attention to is inheritance."
"Although the papermaker's profession has declined, as long as someone is still continuing this industry, it means there is a master to teach them."
"Get to the bottom of it and get to the root. You don't need me to teach you, do you?"
