Chapter 77 Chapter Eight: The Kiln Collapse

"I don't believe it. Although the temperature in the kiln is much higher than that of a normal fire, the distance between the kettle and the coal is farther than normal, so it may not be faster than firewood." Sanxiang said. As he spoke, he approached the kettle. The night watchman was not defensive at all, and said: "If you don't believe me, you can lift the kettle and have a look. Once you lift it, you will feel the heat rushing to your face." Sanxiang said: "Really?" He quietly pinched the paper ball in his palm, lifted the kettle with one hand, lowered his head and pretended to peek at the red-burning clay bricks under the hole, and threw the paper ball into the pot with the other hand very discreetly. hole.

He saw the red paper ball burnt out in an instant among the hot coals, turning red like coals, and then gradually shrinking and disappearing.Sanxiang smiled comfortably, and said, "Well, it's really hot. The heat is enough." The night watchman looked smug. The next day, the brick factory went to work normally.The brick-burning worker opened the sealed kiln door, but was frightened by the scene before him!They didn't dare to move out a single brick, so they hurriedly sent someone to the factory manager to have a look. The factory manager was also dumbfounded at the kiln door.The bricks that were neatly stacked in the cave dwelling are now in a mess, like a house that was bombed during the war, with broken bricks everywhere.Picking up one of the bricks and tapping it lightly, the red brick was immediately shattered like charcoal ashes.

"This is not a red brick! It's worse than tofu!" The factory manager scolded, "Even if the fire is not well controlled, how can the soil be so soft after being fired. What's going on?" The factory manager turned Turn around and ask the brick-burning workers.The brick-burning workers shook their heads. At this time, Sanxiang was secretly happy in the house.His child has returned to its former vigor, dancing and tossing in his arms. I asked my grandpa: "Now you can go home with peace of mind!" Grandpa shook his head, lit a cigarette, and said, "We must find a way to get rid of this Kespo ghost, otherwise it will harm others."

"Receive ghosts?" I asked, suppressing my inexplicable excitement.When it comes to collecting ghosts, I immediately think of the scene in the myth that King Tota Li used the tower in his hand to subdue other demons and goblins. Grandpa had a sad face: "I'm not a special Taoist priest. I don't know where to put the ghost after I take it in. It's not safe to put it at home, and I don't feel at ease to put it in someone else's place." "Is the adopted ghost playable like a pet?" I immediately got the ghost idea. "You want it?" Grandpa asked jokingly.

"I'm not afraid of catching ghosts, but I'm afraid of raising ghosts?" I answered with my head raised, with a high-spirited look. "I'm afraid you won't dare to ask for it when the time comes." Grandpa said, "Okay, make some preparations, we're going to subdue Kespo ghosts tonight. By the way, don't eat garlic and chili for dinner. That smell is strong, Kespo ghosts Sensitive, smellable." Finally looking forward to the dark, the moon like a hook. Grandpa asked: "Do you know who is the closest in age to Sanxiang's children?"

I said I know. Grandpa asked, "Is there a difference of more than six months between the dates of birth?" I said no. I asked my grandpa: "Why do you ask if it is more than six months old? Will the Kespo ghosts who are more than six months old not kill them?" Grandpa nodded and said: "When a person comes out of the mother's womb, it is called Yang birth; when a person has just reincarnated into the mother's belly, it is called Yin birth. The time between Yang birth and Yin birth is called the gap time, which is exactly six months. It is to follow the gap time to go to the victim one by one according to the distance of the geographical location. So as long as you know whether there are other children born in the gap time around the victim child, you can know the route of the Kespo ghost. It is said in the ancient book Yes, you haven't seen it yet."

At that time, I had read the ancient books five or six times, but I didn't understand some classical Chinese, so it took a lot of time to understand.But with a touch of my grandfather, I knew that the content was probably written on the first page of the book. Grandpa took a box of matches, asked me to carry a clay pot, and set off.
