My Weird Life

   Chapter 246 Soul Collection (22)

   "Little puppy dogs are brave!"

   The fat old man grinned,

   For the first time, he showed a smile in front of Su Wu.

  While cutting off the meat of the two dog legs on the chopping board, he said, "The old man in Mantou Mountain visited several times back then, and either saw tombstones everywhere along the road, or there were corpses hanging from wooden poles.

   swaying in the wind on the mountain,

  You see the house in this way,

  The old man was also the first to hear it.

   But the method of paving meters always works!

  You go under that table,

   Bring me that bookcase,

   I'm going to write down these things you said. "

   "Yes, yes!" Su Wu hurriedly responded, hurriedly went under the table pointed by the fat old man, took out the bookcase, and found the only book in it.

   He pretended to open it casually and looked at it,

   Above are some strange symbols such as circles, triangles, squares, etc.

   There was no word he knew at all!

  Is this the way of recording the secret inheritance of the Kitchen King Sect?

  Su Wu thought to himself,

   handed the book and charcoal to the fat old man.

   The fat old man took the things,

   glared at Su Wu: "Little brat has no rules!

   This is the secret cultivation strategy of my 'Yinxi' lineage of cooks, where can you read it at will?

   Just what you did just now,

   The old man should blind your eyes! "

   The fat old man was talking,

   He picked up the sharp knife and stabbed him to frighten Su Wu.

   However, Su Wu saw that he was joking with himself, but he was not afraid at all, and still stretched his head to see the secret cultivation strategy of the so-called 'Yin Xi' pulse palm cook,

   looked at it and said: "It's all written in circles and squares, I can't understand what is written at all,

   Even if others look at it,

   What's the use if you don't understand? "

   "You are illiterate,

   Naturally can’t understand.

   If you are a scholar who can read, then you will definitely be able to understand this secret inheritance strategy! "The fat old man said very firmly, and put down his sharp knife casually - but he didn't care about Su Wu peeping at the side,

   doesn't mean to poke the other party's eyes,

   He turned the yellowed book to the last page,

   began to sketch on it with charcoal,

   A circle, two triangles, a circle above and a triangle below…

   "Master, what is written here?" Su Wu asked.

   "Write you - Piggy,

   I met a lot of empty houses in Mantou Mountain. "The fat old man replied casually.

  Su Wu looked at the lines of 'text' handwritten by the fat old man,

   silence for a moment,

   whispered: "Master, I know a few words, don't lie to me..."

   When I heard him say that I knew a few words,

   The fat old man stopped writing.

  Stubby fingers pointed to the circle above and the figure of a square below and said, "The word of true knowledge? What does this word read?"

  Su Wu looked at the fat old man speechlessly,

   He can still recognize a lot of traditional Chinese characters in Ming and Qing Dynasties, even guessing them.

  Even if this strange history is mixed with it, it may be hidden in the interlayer of history and not known to most people.

   But Chinese characters have been passed down for thousands of years,

   will not be distorted so much in this history alone.

   Those written by the fat old man are not Chinese characters at all,

   How does this make him guess?

   "Master,

   These things you wrote are not words that the kid knows..." Su Wu said softly.

   The fat old man scratched his head,

   looked at Su Wu's face,

   scratched his head again.

   suddenly put down the charcoal,

   slapped Su Wu on the head: "You bastard, since you can read, why didn't you say it earlier? You have to watch the old man make a fool of me?!"

   "You didn't give me a chance to say..."

   "How dare you talk back! How dare you talk back!"

  “…”

   Now, Su Wu understands that the things that the fat old man sketched on the pages of the book are neither a kind of secret script, nor Chinese characters.

  Those ghost talismans are all a recording method of the fat old man's own 'original',

  Only he can read what is written on the page!

  —If the drawing is too complicated, sometimes he can't understand it himself.

   The fat old man doesn't know how to read!

   "The words you know,

  Write down what you saw last night. "The fat old man slapped Su Wu on the head a few times.

   Looking at Su Wu, his eyes became more and more satisfied.

   I didn’t expect it,

   This wild boar who grew up eating a hundred meals,

   is not only courageous, but also able to do things,

   actually knew some words!

   The fat old man was full of joy when he found the treasure.

   He handed the pen and paper to Su Wu, and went to cook in a pot—this time, instead of using the oil poured from the clay pot, he dug a spoonful of snow-white lard from a small jar.

  The old man put some firewood in the eyes of the stove,

   Knocked the wood wok with a spatula,

   While cooking,

   looked at Su Wu, who was writing words on the paper, and said with a smile: "After a while, we will open a temple in this village, and you will record all the things that the old man used to record in words!

   These two younger siblings, teach them to read when you have time! "

   "Thank you brother!"

   Without the fat old man saying hello, the boy who had been sitting obediently on the bench hurriedly got up, and bowed his hand to Su Wu in a decent manner.

   A child like him who eats a hundred meals,

   is best at observing words and expressions,

   It can be seen that the grandfather who is in charge of the stove is very fond of Su Wu.

   In the future, he will also eat under the hands of Grandpa Zhangzao,

   Naturally knew that it was time to please Su Wu.

  Especially if the other person might teach him to read.

   "No thanks." Su Wu smiled and looked at the other little girl who just stood up and saluted.

   The little boy quickly helped to explain: "She is dumb and can't speak!"

   "That's right..."

  Su Wu looked at the little girl with a hint of pity in his eyes.

   After a while,

  The fat old man prepares the meal,

   brought a bowl to several people and spread it out on the bench.

  He took up his rice bowl first,

   Watching a few children follow along with their jobs,

   A smile appeared on Fatty's face: "Eat hard, I even stewed a pot of soup with my bones. After I'm full, I drink the soup and digest it!"

"Yes!"

"it is good!"

   Several children responded quickly,

   Even the very inactive little girl had a smile in her eyes.

  Have a beautiful meal,

   The sun is rising in the sky,

   The fat old man went to sleep in the temple with his two children,

   left Su Wu alone.

He sucked on the cigarette holder, looked at the bright sun in the sky, and saw the young man who looked down and looked handsome after taking a bath, and grinned: "Those learned and knowledgeable people say that this world is strange. All are due to the pervasiveness of the unhealthy air in the heaven and the earth, and they are able to breed.

   No matter what they say, right?

  Anyway, when the most upright sun between heaven and earth rises to the mid-heaven,

  Most tricks will not be active at this time.

  Man saw the sun rise,

   My heart will be much more at ease.

   Piggy,

   My surname is Li,

  How about you take my surname and call it 'Wu'?

   The sun at noon is the strongest!

   The beheadings in the execution ground were chosen at this time! "

  Li Wu?

   Hearing that the fat old man named himself this name, Su Wu's heart moved slightly,

   He faintly felt that there was something connected in the dark,

   But grasp it carefully,

   but couldn't sense anything.

"how?

  You are not satisfied with the name that the old man took? "The fat old man knocked on the cigarette pot and asked with his eyes wide open.

   "Satisfied, satisfied!" Su Wu nodded again and again, "Very satisfied!"

   "Hey, that's fine." The fat old man turned his face and smiled again. He handed Su Wu a small wooden stick and said to him, "You can write your name to me, Li Wu..."

  Su Wu wrote the word 'Li Wu' according to his words,

   Hearing the fat old man say again: "Write the three words 'Li Yueshan' again."

   "Li Yueshan?" Su Wu looked up at the fat old man.

"right,

   This is the name of the old man. The fat old man wiped the cigarette holder with his sleeve and looked a little nervous. He watched Su Wu write down his name stroke by stroke. He stared at his name and the name 'Li Wu' for a long time.

   Hehe smiled and said, "These words are all beautiful,

   is straight, simple, and supportive! "

   "I think so too." Su Wu smiled.

   The fat old man 'Li Yueshan' read the words on the ground several times,

   suddenly wiped out the words with his feet: "Don't leave your name outside the house."

   "I named you,

  You are my entrant disciple - this time you delivered the rice,

   is very good, very good! Li Yueshan praised for a few words, and then asked Su Wu, "When you came back, did you go to check what happened to the rice?

  If you didn't check it, it would be a waste of time.

  The old man can no longer accept you as a disciple,

   What I said earlier doesn't count! "

   In the last two sentences, it was Li Yueshan who was deliberately frightening Su Wu,

   tease him,

  Whether he ran for nothing this time,

   This apprentice, the fat old man has all accepted.

   "I checked it out.

   That bowl of raw rice looks the same as last night.

   is to measure,

   I feel much lighter than last night. "Su Wu replied seriously.

   He thought that the rice sent in the past was a kind of offering,

   and the weight of the offering,

   is related to whether it can contain the trick for a longer time.

   The fat old man grinned when he heard Su Wu say that the raw rice has not changed from last night,

   Hearing Su Wu say that the rice grains are much lighter than last night,

   He raised his eyebrows: "It's pretty much what I expected.

   is lighter,

   That is heavy! "

   Light is heavy?

   What does this mean?

  Su Wu frowned, wondering what Master meant by this.

  Li Yueshan stood up,

   went to a square table, dragged a tattered cloth pocket from under the table,

   He reached out and fished into the cloth pocket,

   fished out a 'python' with colorful scales from the cloth pocket!

   That python has the mouth of a bowl,

   two feet long,

   Bulging all over!

  Su Wu fixed his eyes on the python,

   Suddenly found that the python actually only has a layer of snake skin left, and the flesh and blood inside it has long been hollowed out, and then stuffed full of rice grains!

  Li Yueshan picked up a thick porcelain bowl from the table,

   holding the snake's head,

   Open the mouth of the snake and pour a bowl of raw rice into the thick porcelain bowl.

   He was holding the bowl of raw rice,

   said to Su Wu: "I put sixty-eight rice in this thick porcelain bowl last night."

   Now there are also sixty-eight rice in this bowl. "

   Then,

   The fat old man grabbed a handful of rice from it,

   handed the rest of the soul harvesting rice to Su Wu: "You weigh it, how much is the difference compared to the bowl of rice you brought this morning? Is it lighter or heavier?"
