Chapter 20 Carve the world sixteen

Diao Tianxia Sixteen (1) The village where the artisans live, I'm not afraid of you going to scare me. ——Yunnan Folk Proverb Li Bang took his apprentices Li Waizui and Wang Deafzi to carve many wooden doors, flower windows and furniture for several rich families in the Tuanshan area of ​​Lin'an City.Their fate changed quietly amid the cheers and constant praise of the crowd, and they gained self-confidence and became famous woodcarving masters. One day, Li Bang said to his master: "We are not very good at carving, but our master Gao Shimei is very good. Anyone who sees the lattice door he carved wants to take it for himself."These words reached Zhou Ziya's ears.Zhou Biya is a big thief in southern Yunnan. He immediately sent people to sneak into the Sansheng Palace in Xinlin Village, and accurately measured the height and length of the wooden lattice door. The location of the door is planned to grab the wooden lattice door of Sansheng Palace in Xinlin Village, Nilang Town and install it there.

One afternoon, Zhou Zaiya came to Sansheng Palace in Xinlin Village and saw the wooden lattice door.He was stunned, it was exactly what he had dreamed of.With this treasure, his Zhou Family Courtyard is the No. 1 courtyard in southern Yunnan.Standing in front of the wooden lattice door, Zhou Ziya saw the Eighteen Arhats, Jiang Ziya, Taishang Laojun, Zhang Fei, Liangshan hero, and Guan Gong... They were all like real people, and Zhou Biya heard their voices Breathing, heard their voices, heard their knives, heard their arrows, but he was not afraid.He thought, with his own ability, it would be a trivial matter to snatch such a few wooden lattice doors.

At night, Zhou Zaiya brought someone to steal the carved wooden lattice door. As soon as he entered Sansheng Palace, he found that the atmosphere inside was not right, as if there were people standing around with swords on horseback.In the main hall, swords, lights and swords flashed everywhere.He seemed to have been whipped by Jiang Ziya's magical whip, captured alive by the Taishang Laojun, shot an arrow by Hua Rong, the archer of Liangshan, and beheaded by Guan Gong.Zhou bared his teeth so frightened that his whole body was sweating and trembling.He had to pace back and forth in the yard, he didn't dare to speak to his subordinates, but the pace of pace became faster and faster, as if he was engaged in a life-and-death struggle with some kind of force in his mind, or he Toss something in the brain from a calm state, repeatedly reproduce, repeatedly observe, repeatedly compare, repeatedly calculate, suddenly seem to grasp something, but immediately feel guilty and throw away the grasped thing, thus Falling again into the abyss of deep thought, falling into emptiness again.He kept walking because of fear, and because of walking, he was frightened more than once by the sound of his own footsteps, and was out of his mind.Finally, he looked at the wooden lattice doors full of storms, and gave an order: "Retreat, retreat! Quick! Quick!"

Back home, the mob under Zhou Ziya asked him: "Boss, why did you retreat?" Zhou Biya told about his miraculous experiences and feelings in Sansheng Palace.The mob said, "It was quiet in Sansheng Palace at that time, nothing happened?" Zhou Ziya said, "Damn it? That's because I was hallucinating." Zhou Qiya carried out the second robbery.This time he did not dare to come to the scene in person, but hid on a distant hill. In the dead of night, Zhou bared his soldiers and horses set off.The moonlight was very good at night, and everything could be seen clearly.One of the thieves said: "Boss Zhou said, the moonlight is shining brightly, anyone who dares to accidentally pry the wooden lattice door broken will have his finger cut off." The gate, just walked out of the yard, the moonlight disappeared, and it was pitch black in front of my eyes.They staggered a few steps in front of the dark hall, and no one dared to lay hands on the carved wooden lattice door.Because they all saw a mysterious light dangling on the carved wooden lattice door, rose-colored?green?blue?red?No one can tell clearly, and no one dares to act rashly.The thieves felt guilty and whispered, can this kind of fetish-like thing be stolen?The sky was clear, but they heard the sound of a storm, and their clothes were ruffled by the wind.When the two of them walked up to the wooden carved lattice door, they were panting as if possessed by a demon, their calves softened, and they couldn't get up when they sat on the ground.The rest of the people witnessed this scene and knew that these wooden lattice doors were sacred and inviolable, and only a fool would dare to disturb them.So, they pulled up the two people who were limp on the ground, quietly exited the Sansheng Palace, turned around and fled.At this time, the moonlight was bright again, and everything on the road was clearly visible.

Seeing his brothers returning empty-handed, Zhou Ziya asked what troubles they encountered again?The thieves rushed to say: "Boss Zhou, you don't know. Tonight, the Sansheng Palace is full of gods. Everyone wants to work for you, but the gods don't agree with us. The gods don't agree with us." Let us be paralyzed. Of course we refused to stop there, one by one climbed to the main hall, carefully pried off the wooden lattice door, and then slowly carried it to the yard. However, maybe the gods were angry and let each of us The eyes are covered with a black cloth. In this way, who dares to fight against the gods? We had to obediently put the wooden lattice door on the ground. At this time, everyone’s eyes lit up again. Boss Zhou! Are you surprised? Strange? If we have to bring back the carved wooden lattice door tonight, then none of us may survive.” Zhou Ziya felt that what they said was reasonable, so he said, “Brothers, I have this ominous premonition, we can’t do it for We still have our own world to fight, let’s go, get out of this terrible and damned Xinlin Village.”

Diao Tianxia Sixteen (2) The wood-carved lattice door escaped again.However, after news of Zhou Biya's failure to steal Gao Shimei's wooden lattice door in Xinlin Village spread, another bandit in Lin'an City, surnamed Lin, also became interested in stealing.He said: "I won't be as stupid as Zhou Biya and steal it myself. What I want is a trick." So he wrote a letter and asked someone to bring it to Gao Shimei, saying that they were strong and invincible, and soon He is about to come to Xinlin Village, and ask Gao Shimeifang to be smarter, and those who know current affairs are heroes, and send the wooden lattice door to the Ma's compound as soon as possible, so that Xinlin Village can avoid difficulties.Gao Shimei also wrote a letter, asking someone to bring the bandit surnamed Lin, saying that you should not think that only you have bandits in Lin'an City, and we also have several nests of small bandits in Xinlin Village, but each nest has fewer people, but Now the several groups of people have united and meet every day in the Sansheng Palace to discuss how to defeat you.Come quickly, the people of Xinlin Village are preparing to send you to the west and return to your hometown.

There has been no movement for several months. It is estimated that the bandits surnamed Lin will not dare to come in the end.Gao Shimei said: "One of my letters scared the bandit surnamed Lin to death." In fact, Gao Shimei did not relax his vigilance. He sent someone to borrow a three-shot gun from the Washao Gang.With a gun, Gao Shimei feels more at ease. At the same time, the bandit surnamed Lin was not good at giving up, he made another plan after failing one plan.He secretly sent two high-spirited little bandits to Gao Shimei's workshop suddenly, without asking three or four, touching whatever he wanted, taking whatever he wanted, and deliberately kicking over Gao Shimei's copper pot and bucket, to test Gao Shimei's courage and patience.One of the little bandits deliberately picked up Gao Shimei's carving knife to see if it was powerful.At that time, Gao Shimei leaned against the wall, thinking about how to deal with them.His workshop is divided into upper and lower floors, with people living on the upper floor and workers on the lower floor.The upper floor is divided into left and right rooms, separated by a bamboo fence.Now, Gao Shimei no longer spends the night in the workshop, so although there is a small wooden bed upstairs, it is full of dust.Recently, in order to deal with the bandits, Gao Shimei had already made preparations. He cleaned up the small wooden bed, put a small bag of silver on it, and hid the three-shot gun behind the bamboo fence.

At this time, a little bandit holding a French nine-shot gun said: "Master Gao, to tell you the truth, we don't want your wooden lattice door or your old life when we come to Xinlin Village this time. We need What you want is your gold and silver. Tell me, will you give it?" Gao Shimei said deliberately, "I didn't bring the silver with me, so you go upstairs with me to get it. If you are worried, you go upstairs with me "The little bandit holding a French nine-shot gun said: "Okay, but I warn you, don't play tricks in front of me." After that, he motioned to the little bandit without a gun to stand at the door to prevent Gao Shimei from escaping .He himself followed Gao Shimei up the building.As Gao Shimei expected, as soon as the guy came upstairs, he saw the silver bag on the bed, so he put the nine-gun on his shoulder, grabbed the silver bag with complacency, poured the silver on the bed, and counted it one by one. Get up, while counting, steal a few pieces of silver ingots on your body.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Shimei walked behind the bamboo fence, quickly took out three guns, and used the gap in the bamboo fence to aim at the head of the little bandit. With a gunshot, the bandit fell to the ground, and his life ended in an instant.The little bandit guarding the gate panicked when he heard the gunshot, knowing that something was wrong, he fled along the mountain.

After defeating the bandits, the villagers told each other the great news, and they sang and danced in the Sansheng Palace to celebrate that the wooden carved lattice door escaped again.At that time, Gao Shimei was the happiest, because he captured a French nine-shot gun.Everyone came to watch, in an endless stream.In front of the workshop, Gao Shimei raised her gun with both hands, and turned around and around, so that everyone could see enough.Everyone said that with the French Nine Guns in Xinlin Village, who should they be afraid of? Cai Canhua, the big pot head of the Watao Gang, sent someone to say that the French Nine Guns should belong to them.Because the little bandit was killed by their three-shot gun, the French nine-shot gun should be returned to Cai Canhua.For this reason, Gao Shimei started an argument with the Washao Gang.In the end, he had to report the incident to the government.The government protected the Watao gang, and the French nine-gun finally fell into Cai Canhua's hands.Gao Shimei was so anxious that she couldn't say a word for a long time.
