Star Talisman

The Gu family's old house is located in the outskirts of the central city. It is a house with a sense of age. There are two entrances to the courtyard. Although the family is not rich, they take life seriously.

"Where's the person?" Grandpa Gu was walking in the yard on crutches, taking two steps to look outside the door, his goatee swaying in the wind: "Why don't you reach Qian?"

"Dad, don't worry." Gu's mother skillfully urged the dust remover to clean the living room: "It takes an hour and a half from the station to our house, and it's only been an hour now, and it will take a while."

"Is the food ready?" Papa Gu came out from the back room: "I'll buy some if it's not enough."

"Go, buy more, and buy some supernatural fruits by the way." Hearing what Papa Gu said, Grandpa Gu quickly ordered: "Don't buy those discounted ones, buy fresh ones." After finishing speaking, he stroked his beard: "I'll go Let's see how the room is cleaned up."

"I know, everything is packed." Gu Dad took off his apron and said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry."

However, Grandpa Gu still entered the house with a crutch. Father Gu smiled helplessly, turned around and went to the garage to drive. As soon as he got in the car, he heard Gu Xiaofei's high-pitched voice outside the yard:

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm back with Master and Senior Brother!"

Gu's father looked up and saw Xiao Hui who was half a body taller than the courtyard wall, and was so frightened that he stepped on the gas pedal:

Ho!What a big supernatural beast!

Xiao Hui blinked his big lantern-like eyes, opened his mouth and yawned, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and slowly lay down on his stomach, wagging his tail.

"Where is where?" Grandpa Gu hurriedly came out of the goatee and looked around the yard: "Where is Master Hu?"

The dust-removing talisman in Gu's mother's hand was burnt to ashes long ago, she came back to her senses, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and said in a daze, "Yes, it's outside the door."

Grandpa Gu turned in a different direction and walked out. Mother Gu quickly followed and reminded, "Hey Dad, wait, there are supernatural beasts outside..."

However it was too late.

"Hey! What a big guy!" Grandpa Gu slipped his cane and almost missed Xiao Hui's paw.

Gu Xiaofei wore a head of yellow hair that let himself go flying, and leaned against Xiao Hui with an excited face, refusing to move: "Grandpa, look, is my master's contracted beast handsome?"

"Handsome, handsome." Grandpa Gu nodded, looked up and down twice, and sincerely praised: "It's really well raised, I've never seen such a big contracted beast, and it's so obedient." It seems that my grandson He came back with Master Hu on a supernatural beast, and it was the first time he saw a supernatural beast willing to carry humans other than its master.

"Master Gu, I'm taking the liberty to bother you for two days." Hu Yushan greeted with a smile, and pressed Li Changsi's head: "Come, call me Grandpa."

Li Changsi was flying fast all the way, his hair was not messed up, and it was hung neatly behind his head. Hearing this, he called out obediently: "Grandpa is good."

"Don't bother, don't bother, I wish Master Hu could stay for two more days." Grandpa Gu narrowed his eyes with a smile: "This is Xiaofei's senior brother, he looks like a smart kid."

"Hey, being smart means being smart. It means you keep a straight face all day long, but you are actually quite enthusiastic."

Gu's mother came up to greet him: "He looks like a warm-hearted and good boy, with good eyebrows and clean eyes. There is no better child than him."

Hu Yushan was much happier to hear others praise Li Changsi than himself, and put his arms around Li Changsi's shoulder happily: "Sister Gu has good eyesight, come, this is Aunt Gu."

Li Changsi continued to be obedient: "Hello, Aunt Gu."

Although Li Changsi always puts on the airs of a little adult, he is so cute, his eyes are big and round, and his skin is as good as an egg that has been peeled off its shell. When he just whispers like this, he is really cute. Heart.

Gu Ma didn't even care about her son, and hurriedly called Li Changsi in: "You haven't eaten breakfast, are you hungry? Come, come in and eat."

But Gu Xiaofei doesn't care about his mother either, he is now full of eyes only for Xiao Hui, he has to stay next to Xiao Hui when eating, and obsessively strokes Xiao Hui's hair from time to time, Xiao Hui has a good temper, so it's better to change to Xiao Hui. Hong had already pulled out his yellow hair.

It was past nine o'clock when Hu Yushan and the others arrived. After walking around for a while in the morning, it was time for lunch. The lunch was specially prepared by Gu's mother. Although it was not to the taste, Hu Yushan and Li Changsi still ate it all.

After lunch, Papa Gu took Hu Yushan and Li Changsi to the guest room at the back to rest. The beds and quilts in the guest room were all newly changed. The room was full of sunlight and smelled like sunshine. The furnishings inside the room were the same as outside, simple But clean.

Originally, Hu Yushan didn't take a nap, but the Gu family had a tradition of taking a nap, so he took a nap. When he got up, it was past one o'clock in the afternoon. Li Changsi woke up early. Mom went to work, but Gu Xiaofei still stayed by Xiaohui's side, flatteringly handing him power fruits to eat.

Seeing this, Hu Yushan smiled and said, "After Xiao Hui has a wolf cub, I'll give you one."

Gu Xiaofei was very pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: "Really!?" Seeing Hu Yushan nodding, he hugged Xiaohui's front paws and rubbed it overjoyed, and then boasted: "So you are a she-wolf, you look like a wolf!" Blessed figure, the future baby will definitely be as cute as you."

Xiao Hui chewed his mouth full of apple crumbs, lowered his head and sprayed Gu Xiaofei all over his head and face: "Aww!!" Bah, bah, you're the mother! !

Hu Yushan burst into laughter: "Hahahaha——"

Gu Xiaofei: ...

While Gu Xiaofei was going to change clothes, Hu Yushan walked behind Grandpa Gu with his hands behind his back. Grandpa Gu was carving a piece of wood in his hand, and there were many parts scattered around him, big and small, wood, fine iron, and more. There are two wooden frames that look like wings, and I can't tell what they are doing.

"What is this doing?"

"Small gadgets." Grandpa Gu raised his hand to hold the reading glasses, and changed into a small knife: "The mechanism bird, Xiao Fei always made it for him to play with when he was young. Today, Changsi is here, and I don't know what to give , I just remembered this thing."

"Trick bird?" Hu Yushan knelt down, picked up a carved wooden shaft and held it up to his eyes to observe: "In ancient times, there was a trick technique of the Mohists that was famous all over the world, and it could fly to the sky and escape from the earth. Could it be this?" In their cultivation world a little further, there was an ancient sage, Mo Zi, who entered the Tao with mechanism techniques, and all the mechanism magic weapons he made were treasures that everyone in the cultivation world wanted. The later puppet technique was extended from this .

Grandpa Gu laughed as soon as he heard it: "Oh, where is such a powerful thing? It's just a small skill passed down by the Gu family. It's all about coaxing children. In the early years, children were willing to play. Now that technology is so advanced, spaceships, warships, mechs Xiao Fei is not willing to learn, and I am afraid that this skill will be broken in my hands.” Grandpa Gu sighed, and his face suddenly became more and more vicissitudes: “It’s broken, it’s broken. Well, the talisman business was almost lost to me, but fortunately I met you, Master Hu, otherwise I wouldn't dare go down to meet the ancestors of the Gu family."

"Who says no one is willing to learn?" Hu Yushan put down the wooden shaft and said with a smile, "If Master Gu doesn't dislike me, I'm willing to learn."

Grandpa Gu paused his hands, and his glasses slid down the bridge of his nose: "Is... are you serious?" Although this is a family tradition of the Gu family, it is almost dead, so it's nothing to teach him. He took refuge in Master Hu, and now he still earns money by relying on the spirit-gathering charms taught by Master Hu.

"Of course it is true. I am very interested in this, but I have never had the opportunity to learn it." He only saw a few small parts, and he knew that this mechanism bird was related to the puppet art in the cultivation world. I probably know some refining techniques, but after all, I haven't learned it systematically, so it is difficult to make fine puppets.

Although there are only some unassembled parts beside Grandpa Gu, it is not difficult to see how delicate these parts are. He has always wanted to combine puppetry and mecha manufacturing together for research, but suffered from the lack of understanding of puppet research earlier. If he can learn the skills of Grandpa Gu, he has a hunch that he will definitely be able to create a very amazing puppet mech.

Grandpa Gu took off his glasses and looked directly at Hu Yushan, and said seriously: "Okay, since you are willing to learn, I will teach you, but there is one thing, you must promise me that you must do it."

"You can't use this skill to go out and harm people."

Hu Yushan was equally serious: "I promise."

So, when Gu Xiaofei came back after changing his clothes, he found that his master also moved a small bench, sat beside his grandfather and took a small knife to carve.

Gu Xiaofei: ...Master, this mechanical bird has no other skills other than flying, so it won't be sold for money.

This was done in the evening, Gu's father and Gu's mother were both off work, and the two entered the house with tired faces, and saw the three people in the yard who were learning how to make mechanical birds with Grandpa Gu, they looked at each other tacitly, and both of them Laughed.

"Hey, why is Xiao Fei willing to learn?" Mother Gu, holding the power fruit in her hand, laughed and teased her clumsy son who was holding a carving knife.

Gu Xiaofei's fingers scratched countless times in the afternoon, and the healing device was placed next to his feet without taking it away. Hearing this, he groaned bitterly: "Master has learned it, so I, as an apprentice, can't learn it."

In fact, it was Hu Yushan who threatened him with the unborn wolf cub, but regardless of whether he wanted to learn it voluntarily, the Gu family's grandfather and Gu's parents were always happy to see that he was willing to learn this skill.

In just one afternoon, Hu Yushan learned a lot, especially in terms of delicate parts, how to connect, how to operate, how to push each other without interfering with each other, etc. These are all problems that have troubled him for a long time. I can't wait to use the materials to make a puppet now.

Hu Yushan was originally concerned about etiquette and didn't take out the food he brought, but now he has a good reason, the teacher's ceremony, although Grandpa Gu didn't let him call him master, but the gift still has to be given.

So, after killing and cleaning the flame chicken, thunder rabbit, all kinds of fish, and pig's trotters, Hu Yushan cooked a whole table of dishes by himself. I dare not move my chopsticks.

A strong fragrance that has never been smelled spreads around the room and drills into the nostrils.

"Eat." Hu Yushan greeted: "Don't worry, it's absolutely delicious."

Gu Xiaofei swallowed 'gudong', and secretly glanced at Grandpa Gu. Seeing that Grandpa Gu waved his hand to let him eat, he raised his hand and picked up a piece of rabbit meat. After the first bite, he couldn't stop.

The man who was watching outside the wall of Gu's house suddenly raised his head and sniffed twice, and asked his companion beside him in a low voice: "Smell, why is it so fragrant?"

"It's very fragrant, like the smell of meat."

"It smells like it to me, damn it, it smells so good that my saliva is about to flow out."

"Hmph, if you can afford meat, you're definitely rich. We're not losing money on this business."
