Weird things are rampant: I enthroned gods in another world
Chapter 13
Wangjia Town, inside the Spirit Sculpture Residence.
At this time, Zhang Xuan was still meditating.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared, enveloping Zhang Xuan inside.
"Huh? Zhang
Xuan, who was in the middle of the settlement, suddenly felt a shock in consciousness, and some hazy pictures suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
In the picture, Zhang Xuan felt that there was a group of people around him. This group of men, women and children, dressed differently, but their expressions were surprisingly consistent, all looking up at themselves with a surprised expression.
Subconsciously blinking his eyes, Zhang Xuan found that the crowd below seemed to be noisy, and seemed to start saying something to each other, but some of them were still staring at him stunned.
Without waiting for Zhang Xuan to continue watching, suddenly there was darkness in front of him, and there was nothing, as if what he had just seen was just a vision.
At this time, the golden light disappeared, and Zhang Xuan continued to meditate.
"Oh..." It was another comfortable and wonderful day, and when the morning sun shone on the earth, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes.
Zhang Xuan was stunned as soon as he opened his eyes, I meditated for the night yesterday? He looked at his crossed legs, subconsciously moved his legs, opened his legs, and then gently put them on the ground, carefully walked two steps, and did not feel the slightest feeling of being pressed overnight.
Heh, really amazing, I really didn't have my legs numb because of a night of meditation. Could it be that my idea is right, and the way of exploration is right? Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan was very excited.
After carefully feeling the changes in his body, Zhang Xuan found that today's state was better than yesterday morning, and not only the physical feeling, it seemed that today's spirit was especially good. It seems that in the future, you can even meditate instead of sleeping, no wonder when I watched martial arts dramas when I was a child, I saw that those heroes often meditated all night.
It is......? You have to hurry up and take a shower!
Looking at the layer of dirt on his body, and a bad smell, Zhang Xuan frowned, and secretly said: It seems that there are a lot of toxins in this body, I don't know when it will be big! This is a foul smell every morning, it's disgusting to think about!
Then it was a few times of tai chi, cooking and breakfast.
Breakfast was also simple, and the brown rice served in front of the statue last night was put back into the pot and steamed. Not to mention, the taste of steamed rice again has indeed improved a lot. However, Zhang Xuan still decided to scoop some polished rice himself in the afternoon, no matter what, such brown rice could not be eaten.
To say that after crossing over, Zhang Xuan's most dissatisfied, in addition to the strange and rampant environment here, is this diet. As a master who has been educated by the 5,000-year-old Chinese food culture, the food in this world is too primitive and rough.
However, as Zhang Xuan discovered that he could actually practice kung fu, and maybe even cultivate into an immortal, his fear of weirdness was greatly reduced, and he slept very steadily and sweetly these days, which made Zhang Xuan feel that he seemed to be very safe in his own home.
Zhang Xuan decided to hold on, or obediently be his own carver, not to say that he became an immortal, at least until he had absolute strength. In addition, Zhang Xuan was not a brave and ruthless character, nor was he a guy with a flood of virgin's heart.
Eat and drink enough every day, practice martial arts, cultivate immortals, isn't it fragrant?
After eating, Zhang Xuan looked at the shadow wall and found that it was still a little damp, and it was estimated that he could almost invite the land god statue to settle in tomorrow.
Zhang Xuan sat in the courtyard and continued today's work of carving and pinching statues. As the land god statues were made, warm currents appeared, swimming throughout the body. Zhang Xuan felt that his body seemed to be stronger.
When the time came to mid-afternoon, Zhang Xuan put down the last statue of the god he had pinched in his hand, came to the courtyard to wash his hands, and prepared for today's lunch.
After cooking a bowl of brown rice, stir-frying a plate of greens, and not much oil and water, Zhang Xuan barely finished lunch.
After briefly cleaning the bowl, Zhang Xuan left the Spirit Sculpture House and prepared to go to the stone shop next to it to take a look.
Zhang Xuan thought about it, but still gave up the idea of carving the stone mill by himself, unlike improving the stone mill, the amount of work required to carve the stone mill by himself was too great. Zhang Xuan roughly calculated, if he made it himself, it would take at least two or three days, with this time, is it uncomfortable to lie down and rest? Isn't practicing Tai Chi fragrant?
In fact, Zhang Xuan was really not poor in Wangjia Town, he roughly looked at the family's savings, and there were twenty-seven or eight taels of silver, and more than five thousand copper coins. One thousand copper coins is roughly equivalent to one or two taels of silver, so Zhang Xuan has a net worth of more than thirty taels.
Don't underestimate these thirty taels of silver, a family of three, the annual cost will not exceed two taels of silver, and it is still a good situation. If you save a little, you can live on a silver or two.
Of course, the good life mentioned here refers to basic food and clothing, and in this world, for most civilians, being able to have basic food and clothing is a very luxurious thing. Being able to eat two meals of brown rice a day, and occasionally some green vegetables, is already quite difficult.
One penny can buy three grain cakes, a liter of rice is only four or five cents, a clay statue of a god statue is two cents, and a wooden statue of a god is five cents ,......
Even if Zhang Xuan lay flat now, the money that his adoptive father had saved for him would be enough for him to spend twenty years. The reason for such savings is just the thrifty habit formed by the original owner as a small people. And compared to most other townspeople, Lingsuju is also a small number of brick houses in Wangjia Town, and most of them live in thatched houses.
The stone shop is only two or three hundred meters away from Lingsuju, all on a street, a few minutes walk.
This stone shop sells some stone-carved knick-knacks and stone-carved statues of gods, but stone idols are generally placed in cemeteries, not in homes.
In addition, the stone shop will also carve stone tablets from the cemetery, and even sarcophagus, and the price of sarcophagus can be much more expensive than ordinary wooden coffins.
Of course, as long as it is made of stone, the stone shop sells it, and even if it is not there, as long as you describe it clearly, he can make it according to your requirements. The owner of the stone shop, known as Boss Fan, has a unique carving skill.
Zhang Xuan came to the door of the stone shop, walked into the shop, and saw Boss Fan and the two guys busy around a sarcophagus, "Jingle Bell..." There are also several long stones next to it, which seem to be preparing to carve the sarcophagus.
"Uncle Fan, are you busy?"
"Haha, Brother Zhang, why are you here today Uncle Fan! Want to take care of Uncle Fan's business? Sit down! When Boss Fan heard the greeting, he turned his head and saw Zhang Xuan walking in, laughing and walking over, greeting.
"San'er, pour a cup of tea for Brother Xuan!" After letting Zhang Xuan sit down, he turned his head and shouted to one of the guys.
"Uncle Fan, you can torment me!" Zhang Xuan was a little embarrassed by Boss Fan's enthusiasm.
"You kid, you're still polite with Uncle Fan. In the future, I will often come to Uncle Fan's place to sit! Elder Fan laughed.
"Okay, Uncle Fan, it's me who is wrong, I will definitely come to see you often in the future!" Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile.
"That's right!" Boss Fan laughed and said, "By the way, Brother Zhang, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, what's the matter with coming over today?"
"That's right, Uncle Fan, I want to ask you to build a stone mill!" Zhang Xuandao and handed a drawing to Boss Fan. On the drawing is a detailed stone mill structure drawing, which Zhang Xuan took time to draw in the past two days.
Boss Fan took the drawing and saw what was on the drawing.
"Huh... This is kind of interesting! Boss Fan was amazed.
"Uncle Fan... Can it be done? Zhang Xuan said a little hesitantly.
"Haha, of course you can do it, although I haven't done this thing, but your picture has been drawn very clearly!" If you can't do it again, won't you smash the signboard of our old Fan family! Don't worry, wrap it up on Uncle Fan! But you have to delay this for a few days, are you in a hurry?
"No hurry, when you're done, just let the guy come over and tell me." Zhang Xuan said with a smile. He also saw that Boss Fan was probably busy carving these sarcophagus in the past few days.
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll let San'er and Xiaoliu'er send it directly to you!"
"By the way, Brother Zhang, you came just right, originally you didn't come today, I have to let San'er inform you in the past two days, please customize a few wooden statues." After Boss Fan handed the drawing in his hand to the guy, he said to Zhang Xuan.
"Custom idols?" Zhang Xuan was stunned, custom statues are rare. Generally, everyone buys ready-made statues of gods, and among the different forms of gods, choose the statue in your own picture and invite them home.
A wooden statue is ready-made for only five cents, but if it is customized, it will start at twenty dollars, which is at least four times more expensive. Depending on the customer's requirements, the price will be different. So not many people usually choose to customize the idol.
"Any requests?" Zhang Xuan groaned.
"You need to be fierce, you need to carve mahogany, not jujube, the height is about seven inches, and you need about five statues." Boss Fan took the water cup handed over by the guy, took a sip of water, and continued: "The main family urges it urgently, at most five days.
Then Boss Fan looked left and right, found that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "But don't worry about the price, fifty wen per statue, this is put into the sarcophagus!" "
Fifty words?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback, this is not a small amount. One statue is fifty letters, and five statues are two hundred and fifty letters. In a normal month, Lingsuju may not be able to earn so much. You must know that most people buy clay statues of gods, one statue is only two dollars, and two hundred and fifty letters have to be sold for one hundred and twenty-five statues to earn. Even the wooden statues had to be sold for fifty.
It was put into the sarcophagus to prevent corpses. For those who have died unjustly, the resentment is relatively large, and it is easy to change the corpse. If the main family has money, they will ask someone to carve a sarcophagus for burial. Because the sarcophagus is relatively well sealed, it is said that it can isolate the earth qi, prevent the earth qi from infecting the corpse, hook the resentment, and then put a god statue in the coffin for suppression, which is said to be effective in preventing corpse transformation.
"Time should be fine, right?" Boss Fan was also a little nervous, it was indeed the main family that wanted to be tighter.
"No problem, don't worry, Uncle Fan, it can be done in three days at most!" Zhang Xuandao.
"Okay, Brother Zhang, your craft is better than your father!" Boss Fan looked at Zhang Xuan's face full of confidence and relaxed his heart.
Zhang Xuan exchanged the precautions for stone grinding with Boss Fan again, and then took his leave and returned to the Spirit Sculpture House.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the Lingsuju, I saw two people standing at the door, their faces full of excitement! One of them was Liu Da, who came to buy the statue yesterday, and the other was Liu Qing, a warrior.
"Two..." Zhang Xuan was about to greet.
"Brother Zhang, you are back!" Liu Da rushed over with an excited look and directly grabbed Zhang Xuan's arm.
"You two, what are you...?"
"Brother Zhang, we want to invite twenty-six more god statues today, as well as two larger god statues!" Liu Qing said next to him.
"Twenty-six idols? And custom two statues of the Great Gods? "Zhang Xuan is confused?
What is this situation?!!!
At this time, Zhang Xuan was still meditating.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared, enveloping Zhang Xuan inside.
