I followed Hu Mei's advice, returned to the bedroom, took out the statue of the God of Wealth and the Blood Yin knife, and carefully repaired the wound on the face of the God of Wealth.
After the restoration was completed, I placed the statue of the God of Wealth on the table, and found melons and fruits and wine as offerings, and when it was light, I bought incense burners and sandalwood incense and made offerings.
I knelt in front of the statue of the God of Wealth and bowed three times respectfully, asking the God of Wealth to forgive me.
After doing this, I felt my spirit suddenly relaxed and a wave of sleepiness came over me.
I asked Hu Mei to watch the tavern, himself first to catch up on sleep.
This sleep, I slept incredibly well, and when I woke up, it was almost dark.
Hu Mei was cleaning the guest's used wine glasses and when she saw me wake up, she complained.
"You sleep to death, I'm busy working alone and about to die of exhaustion."
I felt guilty and asked her what she wanted to eat, and I cooked her something delicious.
Hu Mei was happy, she pulled out a large sum of money from the drawer and slapped it on the counter.
"Today's business is particularly good, we made two thousand during the day, let's order a barbecue to eat!"
I was surprised, no wonder Hu Mei shouted tired, this is almost catching up with the previous day's turnover.
There is a barbecue restaurant just down the street, I bought two hundred barbecue treats Hu Mei, dinner, I asked her.
"Could the fact that business is so good today have anything to do with me asking the God of Wealth for a favor?"
"It's possible! Tomorrow I will also worship the God of Wealth, and hope our business can be so good every day in the future!"
She exclaimed.
"You carved the idol has not yet injected ghosts into it, the effect is so good, when you learn all the skills, want not to get rich are difficult.
I tell you, I can rely on you, when you become a big rich man, can not kick me out."
I am seriously committed.
"Of course not, without you, this tavern, I can not open."
After eating and drinking, Hu Mei asked me again.
"When are you going to contact Song Li? It's been half a month, if you don't contact her, people will forget about you."
I thought about it, it was time to contact her, in case this failed, at least there was time to remedy the situation.
I found out the contact information left by Song Li, after the phone call, I identified myself and asked if her husband had come around.
Song Li cried on the phone, she said her husband and her completely cut off contact, even if she looked for the door, her husband did not see her.
"Boss Chen, last time you said you could help me, is that true?"
I said it was true and invited her to come to the tavern tomorrow night to talk more about it.
The reason it's not tonight is because I have some preparation to do.
To complete the carving of the god costume, having a blood Yin knife and superb carving skills is only the first step.
After carving the idol, there is the step of painting the color...
The so-called coloring is to color the idol, which is well understood, but the dye used, however, is not common.
The dye used to apply the color requires a mixture of three items: ashes, yin blood and stone powder.
Ashes can be used animal or human, human ashes will work a little better, but the risk will also become relatively large.
Yin blood can likewise be used with animal blood, or human blood, and if animal blood is used, cold-blooded animals must be chosen, such as fish, snakes, toads, etc.
As for the stone powder, it mainly gives color to the dye, for example, vermilion can make the dye red, yellow Ying stone can make the dye yellow, and Tianhe stone can make the dye blue. If you want other colors of dye, you just need to mix three kinds of stone powder in proportion to get it.
Of course, if you want to make the effect of the idol to be the most effective, you need to use the stone powder ground into precious stones.
These items I have inquired about where to buy, the next day, I let Hu Mei watch the store, himself in the Springs ran a daytime, the required things, ready.
At ten o'clock in the night, when the drinkers left one after another, Song Li arrived.
Compared to two weeks ago, her face was thinner and her complexion was worse, probably due to excessive sadness.
Once inside, Song Li pulled out a bank card from her bag and slapped it on the counter.
"Boss Chen, I've tried everything, my husband just won't turn back, as long as you can help me, no matter how much money you need, you just ask!"
In my opinion, in order to win back her husband, Song Li has lost her mind.
Hu Mei gave me a wink, I know what she meant, she wanted me to ask for more money, after all, we still owe Tie Kuan Zhang 100,000 yuan it!
I carefully looked at Song Li's dress, I do not know clothing brands, can not see her clothes are expensive or cheap, but from her wrist wearing solid gold bracelets is not difficult to judge, she is not poor.
The first time to do the business of ghost smiths, how much money should be charged I have no bottom in mind, simply the amount of debt reported.
"Give me 100,000, and I can get your husband back."
"No problem!"
Song Li agreed very quickly, so much so that I gave birth to a feeling that the price was too low.
However, I did not chagrin, the money is small, the four evil spirits are the most urgent.
"Take a seat and wait for me for a moment."
I closed the tavern, closing all the doors and windows, and even put out most of the lights in the tavern, leaving only a small, dim light.
I saw a nervous expression on Song Li's face, if not for Hu Mei in, she was afraid to have to shout for help.
I said to Song Li.
"What I'm going to say next may be beyond your perception, so please bear with me and listen to the end, okay?"
Song Li nodded and I told her about the carved statue pretending to be a god.
Song Li's eyes were alert after hearing this.
"Boss Chen, you are a ghost and a god again ... should not be lying to me, right?"
I replied.
"It's useless for me to explain more, whether it's true or not, you will see it with your own eyes."
I let Hu Mei to Song Li poured a glass of wine, and then fetched the blood Yin knife and a twenty-year old acacia wood.
In addition, I also brought incense burners and sandalwood incense.
Next, it was the first time in my life that I carved a statue and played God.
The first step is to pray a blessing and ask God to listen to you.
I brought a chair, put the acacia wood on the chair, took three steps back, and then put the incense burner on the floor.
Then, I lit three sandalwood incense sticks, fell on my knees and said respectfully.
"Ghost craftsman Chen Jiu, praying on behalf of mortals, respectfully invites the gods of the eight directions to listen."
After saying that, I kowtowed three times and inserted the sandalwood incense into the incense burner.
According to the record in the book of "Ghosts", after the prayer of the ghost maker, like the gods side ears, the smoke from the three sandalwood incense will knot with each other and rise around, and after a few breaths it will resume as before.
I held my breath, staring at the three sandalwood incense, the magic happened, the tavern obviously no wind, three wisps of smoke is floating around, entangled with each other, slowly rising, after a full half a minute, only to separate again.
On the side of Hu Mei and Song Li are frozen, especially Song Li, a look of hallucination, and kept rubbing his eyes.
