Daming Super Daddy

After Zhu Di received the batch of good Dawan horses, he divided them among them. Zhu Huan, Zhu Song, Xu Huizu and Zhu Neng each got one, and the rest were kept in the Royal Hunting Garden.

"Your appetite is really big!" Zhu Song glanced at Zhu Huixun and said with interest: "If you lose, what can you give uncle?"

? "I, I..." The little guy was talking fast.

Zhu Zhanji moved his short legs, ran to Zhu Huixun's side slowly, pulled him and said, "Uncle, didn't Uncle Mu bring some treasures from Yunnan a few days ago? You can just go back and search for one Come out and get it."

"That's right, why did I forget!" Zhu Huixun stomped his feet and clapped his hands, and said, "Uncle Songhuang, if my nephew loses, I will give you whatever you want."

"Okay, with your words, it will be done!"

Zhu Song glanced at Zhu Huixun with a smile, then turned his head and told the seven or eight servants to apply the bright red fuel evenly on the blank peach charms with a brush.

Of course, this kind of smearing is also skillful. They avoided the exquisite patterns deliberately carved by the craftsmen, and only painted the surrounding area.

The wood of peach wood is fine and delicate, and the wood body is fragrant, so it is easy to apply dyes.

In addition, the current dyes are not as environmentally friendly as Zhu Song's previous life. The colors used are all extracted from the body of plants, and even have a sweet fragrance.

The two little guys are like curious babies, looking at the peach wood for a while, touching the brush for a while, active like rabbits.

If you wait for people to finish the coloring and cooling of the peach charms, it will take at least half an hour.

Zhu Song is a master who is unwilling to be lonely. Taking this time, Zhu Song turned his head to look at Zhu Zhanji, and said, "Zhanji, did you just say that this 'Peach Talisman' originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty? Do you know anything about this'?" The legend of Peach Talisman?"

"Ah?" Zhu Hui's small head opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he thought about it seriously.

This unlucky boy, who would have thought that Zhu Song would ask such a question, after all, there have been many legends about peach charms since the peach charms began, but looking at those legends, none of them has enough recognition.

Although this little guy has a lot of things in his head, even if he wants to break his head, he doesn't know how to answer this question, so he has no choice but to give up.

But this brat is a famous ghost, he couldn't answer, does it mean that his uncle doesn't know, so he rolled his eyes and said: "Uncle, grandson doesn't know either! But ,Do you know?"

As soon as Zhu Zhanji's childish words fell, Zhu Huixun's small head squeezed out from his side, blinking a pair of big eyes full of curiosity, looking at Zhu Song eagerly.

These two unlucky children, even if they were killed, they would never have thought that in Zhu Song's previous life, there was a super powerful artifact called Bainima on the Internet.

There are some basic common sense of life, some professional terms, and people's names on the artifacts of Bainima... Just search on Bainima, and you can get what you want to know in an instant.

Besides, even though Zhu Song's job in his previous life was a bodyguard, he still knows a lot about some folk customs and legends.

Seeing the girlish smile on Zhu Zhanji's face, Zhu Song naturally knew what kind of tricks this brat was planning, so he smiled lightly, and talked eloquently:

"Do you know? In the pre-Qin period of my country, there was once an absurd book called "Shan Hai Jing". According to the records in "Shan Hai Jing", there was a world of ghosts a long time ago. The ghost There is a big mountain in the world, and there are hundreds of ghosts haunting the mountain..."

"Ghost! Where are there ghosts?" Zhu Huixun tried not to believe in ghosts or something, but when he heard Zhu Song's words, he muttered, "Uncle Songhuang, we don't read much, so don't fool us!"

This kid talks a lot of nonsense.

"Stinky boy, can't you just listen to what uncle has to say?" Zhu Song said angrily, shaking the little guy with a shudder.

"Hey, uncle, I'm really sorry, you go on, go on!"

Seeing that Zhu Huixun did not know what to do and wanted to continue mixing, Zhu Zhanji suddenly covered Zhu Huixun's mouth, and stopped him from speaking.

"Hmph, that's plausible!" Zhu Song touched his chin and continued:

"Among the mountains in the ghost world, besides the ghosts everywhere, there is also a peach tree covering a radius of three thousand miles. A golden rooster was naturally raised on the top of the tree. Whenever the golden rooster crows in the morning, , Ghosts who do evil outside at night will be driven back to the ghost city.”

"Oh, I remembered, I know what's behind." When Zhu Huixun heard this, he jumped up and said happily:

"I remember my nanny once told me that there is indeed a ghost world in this world, and there are two great gods guarding the gates of the ghost world, called Shen Tu and Yu Lei, and the words written on the peach talisman are this. Two great gods!"

"Okay, this time your kid is right!" Zhu Song gave Zhu Huixun a surprised look, and continued:

"Although these two great gods guard the gates of ghosts, they still strictly restrict the activities of ghosts. At the end of each year, they will stand under the peach tree to inspect all ghosts. When they see any evil spirits that harm people, they will use a kind of helpless The broken 'reed rope' will tie them up, so that the god tiger who eats evil spirits will satisfy his hunger and eliminate harm for the people."

"Shenhu, that's amazing!" Zhu Huixun's eyes lit up.

"That's it!" Zhu Song lured the two little guys shaking their heads as if telling a story, and continued:

"You have to understand that manpower is sometimes poor. No matter how capable these two great gods are, they are limited. They can't wipe out all the evil spirits in the world, and they can't guarantee the safety of every household."

"Ah? Then what should we do?" Zhu Zhanji's curiosity was also mobilized, "Don't they have soldiers under their hands to catch evil spirits for them and protect the people?" (To be continued.)

Chapter 227 Folk Stories

"Who said they don't have men?"

Zhu Song cast a glance at Zhu Huixun and Zhu Zhanji, and continued to fool around:

"Look, at that time, the Yellow Emperor, the co-lord of the human race in ancient China, announced an order to the entire human race after learning of the difficulties of these two great gods."

When talking about this, Zhu Song looked at the pattern on the peach charm and said:

"This order is that on the eve of the Spring Festival, every household should use peach stalks to carve the statues of gods and Yu Lei, and hang them in front of the door on New Year's Eve. Draw a tiger to avoid the intrusion of evil spirits. It is precisely for this reason that peach wood is also called 'Jianlong wood' and 'ghost terror wood'!"

"Oh, no wonder!" Zhu Zhanji suddenly realized: "When I was in Beiping Mansion, when my grandson saw many officials and officials, he would draw black tigers or roosters on the doors. It directly engraves Shentu and Yulei!"

"No, why do I feel that in our Yingtian Mansion, there seem to be many portraits on the doors of people!" Zhu Huixun objected.

"You two, what you said is right and wrong!" Zhu Song said: "Our Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, and each place naturally has its own customs..."

When talking about this, Zhu Song patted his head and said, "Let's not talk about the differences between different places, but let's talk about the differences between the families of nobles and officials, and the families of ordinary people."

Seeing that the attention of the two little guys was attracted, Zhu Song continued:

"We rich families naturally want to hang something to hang. After all, we lack everything, and indeed there is no shortage of silver. But compared to ordinary people's homes, where do they have the spare money to hire craftsmen to carve Shentu and Yulei?" Like!"

"Then what are they hanging at home?" Zhu Huixun asked shamelessly.

Zhu Song said with a smile: "The common people don't have so much money, so they went to invite craftsmen, so they simply drew two statues of gods on the peach wood, or directly wrote the names of Shen Tu and Yu Lei on them, and hung them on the door in the afternoon of New Year's Eve. On both sides, to suppress evil and expel ghosts, this is their peach charm."

"That's like what my uncle just said, what's the matter with the portrait?" Zhu Zhanji still didn't understand.

"That's my Tang Dynasty generals, Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong!"

Zhu Song smiled and said: "It is said that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once had nightmares all night for a period of time. In the dream, an evil spirit demanded his life. At that time, after the alchemist Yuan Tiangang told the emperor Taizong's fortune, he said that it was necessary for him to have a strong evil spirit. Taizong's misfortune can only be solved by people who kill unparalleled people guarding the gate. Therefore, Emperor Taizong appointed tiger generals Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, Yuchi Gong and Yuchi Jingde to guard the gate..."

"What about after that?" Zhu Huixun and Zhu Zhanji were fascinated by what they heard, and couldn't stop asking.

I think so, it was the first time for the two children to hear this legend, so they naturally felt a sense of wonder.

"Of course everything returned to calm after that! Ever since Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde personally guarded the gate for Emperor Taizong, Emperor Taizong never had nightmares again."

Zhu Song looked down at the two little fellows, and said: "After the common people heard about this, they replaced the gods and Yu Lei on the mahogany talisman with Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde. Compared with those illusory gods and Buddhas, this It is the most real one that can be seen and touched.”

Just when the two little guys wanted to pester Zhu Song to listen to their funny stories again, the two peach charms that had been coated with red dye at first were almost dry, and the two servants carefully said that the two peach charms were placed on Zhu Song's body. forward.
