Chapter 38: Pottery

It's a little late to return to the community, and Yu Xiaoxue is still watching TV waiting for us to come back.

I turned on the lights in the yard, moved a pile of pottery making tools to the clearing, put on gloves, and began to dilute and sift the clay.

Yu Xiaoxue and Zhao Qian both gathered around, and became curious babies, to see what I was doing there.

I make a teapot. That's my answer to the two of them, if you want to make an urn, I guess they will run away.

The ghost urn doesn't need to be too big, and it's just a palm-sized flat round thing, and it's no problem to make it look like a warm water kettle, but the point is that the pattern drawn must be accurate, and there must be rune gall.

Without gall, the soul urn will have no effect, and it will not be able to attract ghosts and gods.

It has been an hour after picking the clay, Yu Xiaoxue is bored when she looks at it, only Zhao Qian knows that I risked my life to get these things, and it will definitely not be as simple as just making a teapot.

I opened the pottery wheel, put on plastic gloves, and started to make the prototype, but I couldn't grasp the speed of the turbine, and as soon as I used my hand, the prototype collapsed into a lump.

This mud stinks, is it mud from a fish pond? Yu Xiaoxue pinched her nose and asked me.

Hey. I didn't speak, and continued to fiddle with the pottery on TV, telling her that it contained the blood of a corpse, or pieces of flesh, that would probably scare her unconscious.

Zhao Qian knows the origin of my yin soil, the smell of salted fish is wafting from the place where I took the soil, I didn't know when I went, that's understandable, now I don't understand it's really stupid, there must be a dead body buried there.

I continued to make round pots, but unfortunately I failed to form them three or four times in a row, and even I started to lower the requirements, as long as I could make a shape, it was okay to distort it.

As a result, they can't even control their shape.

My hands were already shivering with cold, and the yin earth contained resentment, trembling as if I had self-awareness, and that was why I failed.

Brother Tian, why don't you let me get it, my hands are more skillful. Yu Xiaoxue said, and approached me, staring at the scarlet and stinky soil.

And while I was still tinkering, my hand reached into my clay bucket!

Don't touch it! I immediately called out and wanted to hold her, but it was too late, Yu Xiaoxue was all stuck into the soil, and her skin immediately turned white.

It's fun! Yu Xiaoxue kneaded it happily, and I was panicked when I saw it.

She took the clay, pushed me aside, grabbed my engine position and fiddled with it.

You have to be obedient, turn me into a teapot! Yu Xiaoxue said as she pinched out various postures with her soft onion fingers, and with just a few strokes, the jar that I couldn't pinch at all just now was automatically formed in her hands as if it had life!

I slapped my forehead, it seems that I definitely don't have a talent for pottery!

Snow, don't you feel cold? I saw that Yu Xiaoxue touched the clay and there was nothing wrong with it, and even she was a little happy about it, I was very curious, after all, I felt very inappropriate with gloves.

No, it's just cool, it's fun. Yu Xiaoxue said, took the clay and wood chaff again, and smeared it while making it, this is to prevent the finished product from cracking during baking, which shows that the means are very skillful.

Have you played with this thing? I asked, it seems that I can't touch these things because the yin qi is too heavy, but Yu Xiaoxue and Zhao Qian have no problem.

I played, and the teacher taught me a little before, so I played with others, and then we put it in when the adults built a house and burned bricks, but there was no such convenience. Yu Xiaoxue said.

Oh, I see. I came to understand that people do have areas that they are good at and what they are not good at.

Grandma's yin qi is actually quite heavy, otherwise she would not be able to inherit the Taoist system of raising ghosts, so if she wants to make a clay pot, it is estimated that someone will have to do it for her.

Okay, you can get me a few more as you just did, and remember to put the lid on as well. I'm thinking about doing everything by myself, it's so stupid, since Yu Xiaoxue Bingxue is smart, let's figure it out for her.

I also had to bake and dry and carve something on it. After plugging in the electric stove, I put the two clay pots in and turned them on at low temperature to dry them.

Taking advantage of the time difference in baking, I picked up the white plaster puppets that I had prepared and sold on the street, and tried to carve some high-grade runes on them.

As a result, several complex runes were carved, all of which were crooked, often slipping the pen or directly penetrating, even if you were lucky enough to finish drawing one, how could it be like a dog bite? Can this be done?

My heart suddenly poured cold water, isn't it the same as drawing a talisman? How stupid I have to be!

I was so mad that I almost smashed these rags, but Zhao Qian took one of the plaster statues in her hand, and the carving knife pulled several beautiful sword flowers in her hand, and scribbled a few strokes gorgeously, directly copying a spell that I had drawn with sweat!

Suddenly, I burst into tears: Do you say that my brother's hands are so stupid?

After a few brushes, Zhao Qian completed another rune, and put it in front of me with a plaster figure: Is Qian painting like this?

Well, it's not bad, it's quite regular, although it lacks the agility of me, but that, since Xiaoxue has taken over the pottery work, I can't favor you like one over the other, right? I'll leave it to you to draw the talisman, by the way, I have to pass on a few words of talisman mantra, you can memorize it, and burn incense, burn paper, and chant while carving. I nodded, pretending to be old-fashioned and complimenting the little girl.

Oh. Zhao Qian lowered her head and chuckled, looking at me with a very good-looking look.

I took out my grandmother's book, pointed out a few of the spells, and then motioned to her where to draw, and taught her the charms of the gall.

Zhao Qian recorded it very carefully, and began to practice with plaster casts, and what made me feel chilling was that it only took ten minutes for her to draw quite well.

If it's just one or two spells, it's okay to say, but a bunch of spells tied together, you know the implication and difficulty between them, although I have practiced before, but it is definitely not as easy as her to draw, it seems that I am definitely inferior to her in carving.

I don't know what her talisman skills are? I'll pass her a few high-level talismans to try, maybe she'll be able to get them like that?

The so-called financial couple, the partner is a very important link, if they are interested, I would like to train both of them to become masters. In this way, I gave up the idea of making my own production and turned to the co-ordinating supporters behind the scenes, and they could directly abuse me to death in terms of hands-on ability.

The complete soul urn soon appeared in their hands, and the condition was even better than that made by my grandmother, and with the runes I selected, it would definitely be no problem to support Xijun.

Although referring to the record in my grandmother's book, this kind of rune and production method are at the bottom level, and they are all filled with some slightly powerful ghosts, but I am very satisfied with this quality, if the conditions are enough in the future, maybe they can make a ghost king-level soul urn, of course, it is impossible now.

When the sixth urn was made, the clay had been completely used up, and the six prototypes were all identical, and I held them into the electric furnace like treasures.

After turning on the switch, setting the temperature and the time of power-off, I was relieved, if I was lucky, I would be able to succeed one or two by tomorrow morning, after all, the success rate of the soul urn with the spell would not be too high, and there were too many things involved.

I looked at my phone, and at half past twelve, I was ready to take Zhao Qian to drive to Zhao's Zhuangzi.

It's almost time, you get ready, use all the belongings you can use, let's go to Zhuangzi, tonight is the last night of the vigil, and tomorrow we will send the old man up the mountain. I felt that my eyebrows were involuntarily raised, and there must be something wrong on the last night, otherwise Zhao Qian's second uncle would not give up, because he hadn't gotten what he wanted.

Well, I see. Zhao Qian's face was a little gloomy, and she didn't know what to do when she looked at me.

Zhao Qian, don't worry, if those two old horsemen are honest tonight, your brother will let them jump for two more days, if they dare to do it tonight, Lao Tzu will kill them immediately! Thinking that Zhao Qian almost died in the hospital last night, I gritted my teeth.

Wow, Brother Tian, you are so fierce! Yu Xiaoxue grabbed my hand and looked at me with adoring eyes.

Hmph, that's still going to be said. I crossed my hands and looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees.

Brother Tian, thank you. Zhao Qian's face immediately turned red, looking at me with a very touched expression, I felt that men should be like this, so the gloom just now also disappeared.

I felt that I was almost pretending, so I quickly climbed into the car and told Yu Xiaoxue to sleep at home, don't sleep on the sofa tonight no matter what, if you are afraid, call Han Shanshan and ask her to come over and sleep with her.

Zhao Qian's house feng shui is still quite good, there is a star compass in the safe, and ordinary ghosts dare not approach.

After all, I also have my considerations, when it comes to calculating the terrain and deterring ghosts, although it has advantages, but if it is a real fight, you still have to cherish the king, this thing is not used to exorcise ghosts.

This time, Zhao Qian brought her money sword, peach wood sword, and bell with her, a whole suitcase of things, although it was not her to do the big night, but this time she would definitely not sit still like last night.

After the car started, Zhao Qian got into the passenger seat.

I see that Zhao Damei's mood is stable, and her mood is much better, and I feel that even if I encounter any problems tonight, I can solve them step by step.

But as soon as the car drove out of the gate, Zhao Qian's phone rang, and she frowned slightly: It's Dad's.

I took a look, I should have asked you when you would arrive in Zhuangzi. I saw that she was worried, and I comforted her.

Dad, it's me. Zhao Qian nodded.

But then, Zhao Qian was silent, and after a while, her face gradually turned pale.

When the matter came, I knew by looking at Zhao Qian's expression, and Zhao Xi would not call his daughter if he was fine, but once he called, there was no doubt that it would be a big deal, and it might be something that ordinary people couldn't accept.
