I found a peach tree that was said to be several decades old.
It was really not as exaggerated as one that was hundreds or thousands of years old.
Grandpa said this one was enough.
Then he cut down a section of the tree trunk and carried it back.
I originally used a knife to cut peach wood nails, but I didn’t expect my grandfather to take the peach wood stake directly to a carpenter’s shop, and then asked the master to use a cutter to cut it into ten-centimeter rectangular wooden stakes, the size of a white candle.
So big.
Then use a machine to polish it into a cylindrical shape, and then polish the other end into a conical shape, which becomes a nail.
It's ten centimeters long and as thick as a finger.
It's all polished by machine.
I heard that with today's technology, the beads can be as thin as half a centimeter in diameter.
This peach wood nail is nothing.
After finishing it, grandpa brought dozens of peach wood nails back to the hotel.
The basic materials are now available, and now comes the most important step, which is carving the runes and plating the paint.
This has to be done entirely by hand, which requires very sophisticated skills.
None of us can help, it all depends on grandpa's ability.
It was only when I sat next to my grandpa and watched him carving shapes and runes with a carving knife that I realized what concentration meant.
It takes about a day to carve a peach wood nail, and even for a veteran like grandpa, the speed is really slow.
Moreover, there have been several times in the process when he was not satisfied with the carving or it was wrong.
Grandpa actually threw away the finished peach wood nail.
Got it.
I asked my grandfather why, and he just shook his head and sighed and said: "This cut is too deep, and it may cause the peach wood nail to be unable to exert its magic power, so in order to make sure nothing goes wrong, I have to do it again."
After seven days of carving like this, three finished peach wood nails were produced.
The protruding parts were plated with gold, and the recessed grooves were painted with red cinnabar.
After the finished product is finished, the next step is to bake and dehydrate it.
Otherwise, if the peach wood nails crack after being naturally dried, all the work will be wasted.
If the runes or patterns are cracked, they will not be able to play their role.
Grandpa took the three peach wood nails, looked at me solemnly and said: "There is no one else here, just the four of us.
If these three peach wood nails are driven into the body of the evil evil spirit, even if the evil evil spirit does not die, then he will die."
His vitality must be severely damaged.
This evil spirit is most likely the river god that the Xia Liu brothers and sisters support."
"Old Taoist, aren't you just trying to show off?
You really asked Xiaofan to go down to the bottom of the lake to nail Xie Sha."
The fat man looked at his grandfather in confusion, a little dumbfounded.
Grandpa did not answer him, but then looked at me and Yuelan with a smile, and said: "I may not go down, but I don't say I won't go down.
Just put these three peach wood nails on your body, in case you go down, you can use them. " "Old Taoist, why are you making riddles?
Why am I getting more and more confused?"
The fat man frowned.
"What grandpa means is that it all depends on the Xia Liu brothers and sisters.
I told them before that we will use peach wood nails to nail Xie Sha.
Now let's see how the Xia Liu brothers and sisters take the move."
I looked at grandpa and said: "Grandpa , do you think what I said is right?”
"You young people should solve your own problems, let alone your classmates."
Grandpa smiled and said, "No matter what decision you make, whether you make it or not, Grandpa will support you."
"Well, thank you, grandpa."
From grandpa's words, I could tell that grandpa still wanted to find out.

Grandpa is not greedy for money, but as a member of the Tufuzi, the desire for knowledge naturally flows in his blood.
This is the common characteristic of every Tufuzi, that is, once they encounter a fight, they all want to go down and have a look.
Of course, what he said is correct, that is, safety comes first, but this is not inconsistent with this desire for knowledge.
Not to mention Grandpa, I also want to know what is under the eye of the lake.
The day after I made the peach wood nails, I called Xia Mengping.
"Xia Mengping, the peach wood nails are ready."
I said into the phone.
"Oh."
Xia Mengping gave me a gentle oh, and asked me: "Then what do you want to do now?"
"Go down and take care of that evil spirit, what else can you do?"
I couldn't help but dare not laugh, and said matter-of-factly: "Otherwise we spent so much time and energy making these three peach wood nails.
My grandfather said, this Three peach wood nails can definitely kill that evil spirit."
"Oh."
She said again.
Her response was very dull, but it also revealed their willingness more and more.
It sounded like they were very reluctant to go into the lake again, as if they had no interest in going into the lake.
But before I could continue talking, she said unexpectedly: "When do you plan to go to the lake?
We are ready here."
I was surprised and asked, "What have you prepared?"
She said she was ready.
Maybe she had prepared a new trap waiting for us to set it.
"My brother also went to ask the masters and said that this evil spirit may be the souls of those who drowned in the lake.
They cannot transcend, and they have become a climate.
It is definitely not possible to transcend again, so they can only be destroyed.
"Xia Mengping said calmly.
"Have you found a way to kill them?"
I asked in surprise.
"In addition to the peach wood nails you mentioned, we also prepared a large amount of cinnabar, and also bought a lot of iron sand from the blacksmith.
These iron sands were all taken out of the forging furnace accumulated over time.
Zhiyang, once you encounter this The evil spirit will definitely hurt it," Xia Mengping said.
I was surprised that they were actually prepared and knew how to use yang to overcome yin.
But thinking about it, they were from the Lishan sect, specializing in pouring water buckets, so they must have a lot of professional knowledge.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow.
Let's take action tomorrow."
I thought for a while and said.
"Okay, the same time and place."
Xia Mengping said.
"Um."
The moment I hung up the phone, I was completely confused as to what kind of trick they were playing.
The next day, at dawn, we arrived at Nanhu, still under the big tree.
On the edge of the South Lake, the fence beside the previous pavilion had collapsed, and no one came to repair it.
At this moment, two more speedboats were parked, and in addition, there was a sand mining boat.
But what's on the sand mining boat is not a fool, but some sand-like objects mixed with red, white and black.
It should be the iron sand and cinnabar that Xia Mengping mentioned.
We walked to the pavilion, where the two siblings and Heizi were waiting.

"Uncle, what do you think?
Does my method work?
You are an expert.
I am really afraid of being deceived.
You can keep your eye on me."
Xia Liu put on a high hat for his grandfather again.
"I bought everything, what's the use of my palm eyes now?"
My grandfather was not polite and said with a slight smile: "But if it is the furnace sand and cinnabar from the blacksmith shop, it will definitely be useful.
By the way, what is this white thing?"
"Lime."
Xia Liu replied.
Grandpa touched his beard, nodded and said, "Okay, then you go and try it.
We'll wait to see if your method is effective."
The cinnabar and iron sand on this sand mining ship must be at least several tons.
If it falls down and crushes the evil spirit, it will be enough for it to drink a pot.
If I go down and repair it with peach wood nails, great things can be expected.
But isn't Xie Sha their river god?
How could they possibly hurt it?
The only explanation is that they staged such a big formation and acted it out for us to see
