Chapter 308: The Power of the Human Pillar
Du Fei didn't pay much attention to the uninvited guest next door.
After finding out the situation, Du Fei directly asked Xiao Wu to come back quietly without alerting him. As for how to drive this person away, Du Fei decided to take a look first.
If he stays for two days, it's best to go on his own.
If you want to stay for a long time and interfere with Du Fei's plan, then you can only apologize!
Du Fei leaned on the Arhat's bed, drinking tea and thinking about this matter silently.
Just at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Almost immediately, the signature music that precedes the news comes on the radio.
Du Fei raised his head and glanced at the wall clock. It was seven o'clock in the evening.
Who could it be at this time? Could it be Qin Huairu?
Du Fei couldn't help but smile "hehe" and asked who it was.
However, to his disappointment, Lei Laoliu's voice came from outside the door.
The heat in Du Fei's heart was extinguished instantly. He took a breath like Xiaowu, lazily got up and opened the door.
"Old Lei~" Du Fei opened the door and was about to ask Lei Laoliu what happened.
But I saw a very familiar man outside.
Du Fei had a very good memory, and he recognized this person after just being stunned for a moment.
It was the carpenter Lao Yang who had helped him repair his house before, but later asked Lei Laoliu to borrow money from Du Fei because his wife was seriously ill.
Lao Yang looked obviously thinner than when he was building the house, and he also looked much older.
Seeing Du Fei, he immediately shouted "Benefactor" excitedly and knelt down.
Du Fei had quick hands and eyes and quickly supported him, "Old Yang, what are you doing! This is not the old society anymore.
Kneel down at every turn. Come, let's go up to the house and talk. "
Lao Yang was a little excited, his eyes were red, and he was about to burst into tears. Lei Laoliu also persuaded him and dragged him to Du Fei's house.
The two found chairs and sat down.
Du Fei poured tea for them and asked, "Lao Yang, is Sister-in-law Yang almost recovered from her illness?"
Lao Yang said gratefully, "Thank you! Otherwise... otherwise I would definitely not be able to survive this time."
Du Fei said, "That's good."
Lao Yang licked his lips and said awkwardly, "Um, Leader Du..."
Du Fei interrupted with a smile, "Old Yang, why are you so angry? Just call me Xiao Du. I'm not a leader."
Lao Yang hurriedly said, "I don't dare. Although you are young, you are a great benefactor to our family!"
Du Fei smiled and didn't bother with a title, otherwise it would be boring to go on and on.
Later, Lao Yang stated that he would definitely repay the money he borrowed from Du Fei, and when he was done, he put a baggage he had slipped over to the table.
When they came in just now, Du Fei saw this baggage, which was about a foot in size.
Du Fei guessed that this should be a thank you gift brought by Lao Yang. As for what was inside, it was not difficult to guess what was inside, considering Lao Yang's occupation.
Sure enough, Lao Yang untied the baggage.
A dark red wooden box with an oily sheen was revealed inside.
The four corners of the box and the lock are made of shiny flavonoid accessories.
Moreover, Du Fei didn't pay much attention to it before, but after opening the furoshiki, he immediately smelled a light and very pleasant scent of sandalwood.
"Rosewood!" Du Fei blurted out.
Lao Yang nodded and said, "This was before liberation. My father was still there and took me with me to build the remaining materials for the coffin for Mr. Duan's father in Xicheng."
Du Fei also took a breath of air after hearing this.
This paragraph is like a heifer riding a rocket—it’s awesome!
If you use rosewood to make a coffin, how big of a material would it be?
Lao Yang continued, "Boss Du, please don't think it's unlucky. This is important, it's called promotion and wealth! I used the leftover materials to make this eight-treasure box, which contains official power and wealth. I give it to you, and wish you good luck in officialdom. , great wealth."
Du Fei laughed and said, "I'd like to lend you some good words~"
Although he didn't really believe in these so-called Feng Shui techniques, he thought it was auspicious, so it didn't hurt to accept it.
Du Fei reached out and brought the rosewood box in front of him, reaching out to open it, but unexpectedly found that it could not be opened.
Lao Yang hurriedly explained, "Leader Du, this eight-treasure box has been sealed with a mechanism. If you have a trustworthy Mr. Kanyu, it would be best to put this thing in the ancestral grave. If not, you can also put it in the southeast corner of the house..."
Du Fei was slightly surprised, watching Old Yang talk freely, but it was quite different from the timid look just now.
Du Fei estimated that it was talking about his areas of expertise that helped him find his confidence. .
And Du Fei didn't expect that he thought Lao Yang was a very skilled carpenter, but he didn't expect that he knew these metaphysical techniques.
If this had been done before liberation, or in another twenty or thirty years, there would have been no way for this person to be called Master Yang before and after others.
Lao Yang didn't know what Du Fei was thinking, and thought he was considering what he just said. He couldn't help but look at Lei Laoliu, tentatively, and whispered, "Well~ Leader Du, you... if you can trust me, in this box Driving a pile below is the best and can ensure the prosperity of your family for three generations. "
"Driving raw piles!" Du Fei suddenly raised his voice, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, looked at Lao Yang coldly, and said in a deep voice, "You are driving?"
A passing pile? "
Lao Yang was shocked by the sight and quickly lowered his head, muttering and not daring to speak anymore.
Lei Laoliu on the side saw this and quickly explained to Du Fei, "No, you may have misunderstood. Lao Yang is not a human being!"
Du Fei raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lei Laoliu, then looked at Lao Yang, and said coldly, "Have you ever studied "The Book of Lu Ban"?"
Lao Yang trembled, looked at Du Fei in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "You...you know "The Book of Lu Ban"!"
Du Fei, please hum.
Information is blocked in this era. Most people have never read or even heard of a strange book like "Lu Ban Book".
Once you learn something, you can pass it down as a family skill and support several generations.
So, when Du Fei mentioned "Lu Ban Book", Lao Yang was shocked.
"Lu Ban Book" is said to be written by Lu Ban, the wood saint, and is a strange book about civil engineering.
The various magic methods recorded in it are very strange and magical, and even vicious.
Among them, the more famous one is "hitting living piles".
In ancient times, due to the limitations of architecture and mathematics, the construction of huge buildings often encountered problems. When technical means could not solve them, they naturally sought help from metaphysical means.
For example, when the foundation subsidence and collapse cannot be solved, and a new site cannot be selected, living piles can only be hit.
Throwing living people into the foundation and driving piles and pillars on it is the so-called human pillar!
Use the power of human pillars to support the foundation of the building.
And in the past, once human pillars were used, they were often extremely bloody and miserable.
Generally speaking, when it comes to the stage where piles have to be driven in and people have to live in, it means that the project must be very important, and if something goes wrong, no one can afford to be blamed.
