C8 Disillusion

General Sha, also known as General Arrow. One arrow wounded a man and killed him at the age of three; two arrows at the age of six; three arrows at the age of nine; four arrows at the age of twelve.

General Sha was the most powerful. If he wanted to destroy General Sha, he would have to burn the bow and the sword that the general used to make the bow and the treasured sword with yellow talismans.

Li Xiuzhen had already brought the willow and peach trees back home. She had made the peach wood into a sword according to Mr. Zi and dyed it red. She had also made the willow tree into a bow and arrow. She had dyed it green.

The following day, he would wait for the willow and peach trees to dry under the sun before using the yellow talismans to burn them.

Strangely, ever since the child was named Pei Lin, the child did not become obedient. Instead, his body became unwell, which made Li Xiuzhen especially worried.

There was an old man in the village who was about sixty years old and had plenty of experience. Li Xiuzhen decided to ask the old man about it.

Old Master Zhai's surname was also Li. In the village, everyone called her Master Li. Master Li was thin, dressed in long gray clothes, and lived alone in the old house.

However, because his father died early and there were too many younger brothers and sisters in the family, he chose not to get married and stayed at home to help his mother raise his younger brother and sister. Currently, his younger brother and sister had already married and built a house outside, so Master Li lived alone in the old house.

It was an old courtyard with two pomegranate trees in the middle. The steps were very tall, and they were all made of ancient limestone. The entire yard was swept clean.

Master Li was sitting in the yard when Li Xiuzhen came in. When he saw her, he stood up and greeted her. Li Xiuzhen dug out a few melon from her house and brought them over. Master Li saw them and put on a straight face, then said to Li Xiuzhen, "Why did you bring all these things here!?" I can't eat it! "

"It's all from my own field, it tastes really good!" Li Xiuzhen said embarrassedly.

"How is your grandson?" Master Li placed a wooden bench in front of Li Xiuzhen for her to sit on and asked.

"Sigh, after a hundred days of visiting, there's something wrong with this child. After looking for Mister Zi, he went to the Official Song village and found the carpenter Zhang Guozhi to give him a name. However, after a few days, he still isn't obedient, and his body feels a little uncomfortable …" I am troubled by this matter! " Li Xiuzhen came here to talk to Master Li about this.

Master Li quietly listened to what Li Xiuzhen had to say, and then said, "Since Mr. Zi has said that, then there is nothing wrong with it! Oh yeah, did you get Mister Zi to check on Guan Sha? "

"Yes, I did! I brought General Sha with me!" There was a hint of distress in Li Xiuzhen's voice.

"General Sha, hmm, hmm, no, no, General Sha can send us away!" There have been children who brought General Sha with them in the past, so everything will be fine once they send him off! " Master Li consoled when he saw the distress on Li Xiuzhen's face.

When Li Xiuzhen heard that there was also a matter about sending General Sha off, her heart calmed down and she said, "Master Li, these few days my child has been disobedient. I have already prepared the wooden sword to give it to General Sha, but these few days the sun is not good.

When Master Li heard this, he immediately suggested an idea to Li Xiuzhen, "Since the sun is not good enough, then we should put it on fire to dry. As long as this thing is dry, it can be burned!"

Hearing Master Li say that, Li Xiuzhen immediately slapped her thigh and hurriedly said, "That's right, why didn't I remember!"

"Did Mister Zi say what day it was to send me off?" Master Li asked again.

"I said, find a day that belongs to a horse and send it off at noon!" Li Xiuzhen asked.

"Good! If you are ready, just let me know. I'll send you off! " When Li Xiuzhen heard Master Li's words, she immediately felt reassured. She did not sit down anymore and went back to prepare. After all, the day after tomorrow would be the day that a horse belonged to.

Red and peach wood swords and green willow bows and arrows were already made. The rural people were skilled at making things fast and good. Li Xiuzhen intentionally lit a fire, then placed the peach wood sword and willow bow next to the fire, not daring to get too close, afraid to get too close, afraid to get smothered by the smoke, not daring to get too far away, too far, and afraid that the temperature wouldn't be high enough. The fire couldn't just burn for nothing, so she put an iron kettle on top to boil water, but the water she boiled was useless, because the thermos was full.

Li Xiuzhen was an impatient person, and this kind of waiting would make people uncomfortable. However, she had no choice, as it was related to her darling grandson's health and growth.

Under the heat of the fire, the swords and bows gradually dried up. After they dried up, they no longer looked as good as they did before. Moreover, they became slightly deformed, so naturally, they didn't affect the effectiveness of the two weapons.

On the day of the horse, Master Li came early. If he came early, he would have to wait until noon. He couldn't wait around either, so he took out the foil and used it to break the gold and silver ingot.

"Pei Lin, Little Pei Lin …" The child was always the closest to the old man. Master Li, who was holding the child, seemed especially happy as he kept calling the child's name. Then, he said to the child's mother and Li Xiuzhen, "Since you asked for the child's name, then you must call it 'child'. The more you call it, the better it is for the child!"

Time passed by bit by bit, and soon it was noon. Everyone had already prepared everything.

Li Xiuzhen was leading the way with her things, while Master Li was helping her carry some things. The child's mother had been carrying the child all this time.

As she walked, Li Xiuzhen counted silently in her heart. Walking one hundred and one steps south, she did not miss the words of these gentlemen.

Li Xiuzhen counted. Master Li, who was following behind her, also counted silently. This way, she would be absolutely safe.

By the one hundred and first step, I was at the fork in the road. Li Xiuzhen put down the things in her hands and gathered three stones to form a pile of rocks. Then, she placed a few pieces of yellow paper on the ground and took out the peach wood sword and the willow wood bow and arrows. The peach wood sword and the willow wood bow and arrows were wrapped in yellow talismans according to Mr. Zi's previous instructions.

After making all the preparations, Li Xiuzhen took the child from the child's fucking hands. She then faced the south and kowtowed three times as she pleaded, "Blazing Bodhisattva of the south, please bless me!"

This sentence was added by Li Xiuzhen herself, because she had heard Mister Zi say that the south was fire, so she called the south the Blazing Bodhisattva according to her own guess.

After she finished kowtowing, Li Xiuzhen prepared to light the fire. She put it into her pocket and felt that it was empty. She immediately cried out, "It's over! I forgot to bring a fire!"

"It can't be? "Search again!" Master Li said at the side.

"It's not in my pocket, I clearly remember it!" "Aiya, Mister Zi said that you can't turn back …" Li Xiuzhen was so anxious that she was about to cry.

The child, who had been quiet all this time, started to cry loudly after being frightened by Li Xiuzhen.

The busier the better.

"Take a look inside the basket on your back!" The child's mother reminded him.

Li Xiuzhen quickly looked into the basket and saw a box of matches inside.

"I was just saying, I remember bringing a fire with me!" Li Xiuzhen was relieved.

Finally, the fire was ignited, and with a piece of yellow paper, the treasured sword and the bow and arrows of the willow tree were quickly set ablaze along with the yellow talisman.

Everyone patiently waited for the two wooden magic treasures to be completely burnt before standing up and returning.

"Alright, alright. This is great!" General Sha had also sent him away! Little Pei Lin can grow up safely now! " Master Li said to the child in Li Xiuzhen's arms.

"En, yes, yes, my little Pei-lin will definitely be fine, healthy and healthy, growing fast and big quickly!" Li Xiuzhen quickly said Lucky's words, hoping that her grandson would grow up smoothly.

"Pei Lin, Pei Lin..." Master Li repeated the child's new name and said to the child's mother, "You have to shout more about this name. You have to shout more about the name you want to use!"

"Yes, yes!" "Thank you, Master Li!" Li Xiuzhen answered.

Before the three of them brought the child home, the child suddenly started crying loudly. This crying sound was very strange, as if he was scared.

The child had been crying since noon and never stopped. Even if there was an occasional pause, it didn't stop for long. What was this? The family was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

In the end, Master Li opened his mouth and said, "In this situation, it seems like I have to find Mister tomorrow!"
