Inviting the entire town to a banquet was just a good start. He wanted to tell the Gu clan that they would have meat to eat if they followed him!
Why was it that after he came to Qingshan Town and set up the image of a rich disciple who had returned from Nanyang, he was always greeted with a smile wherever he went in Qingshan Town?
Because the people in the town believed that they could get out of poverty by following him.
Otherwise, why would Gu Tian be able to recruit more than a dozen guards for him? It was all because the clan was cooperating with him.
After a good start, Gu Zhou would let the people of Qingshan Town enjoy an endless stream of benefits. At that time, he would not be the chief, but he would be more powerful than the chief, and he would have supreme authority in Qingshan Town.
On this day, Gu Zhou was inspecting his house and observing the progress. The two craftsmen were chatting while eating."Didn't my daughter marry into the neighboring Chongshan Town? When she came back to visit me yesterday, she mentioned that Master Mao's daughter couldn't be buried after she died.”
"What happened? Could it be that you didn't choose a good place?"
"It's all over the place. It's said that after Master Mao's daughter got married, her husband's family died in less than a year. Master Mao brought his daughter back. Not long after, his daughter also died of illness.”
"Old Master Mao wanted to bury his daughter and chose a place with good feng shui. He didn't expect that when the time came, he wouldn't be able to bury her at all.”
"When it comes to carrying the coffin for burial, the coffin bearer either sprains his ankle or the rope breaks. In short, all kinds of accidents happen.”
"Old Master Mao's daughter has been lying on the grave for three days, but there's no way to bury her.”
"These few days, Master Mao couldn't sleep well either.”
"It is said that at night, he would hear someone crying by his bed.”
"Every time Old Master Mao wanted to open his eyes to see who was crying, it was like a ghost on the bed. He couldn't move at all and was scared out of his wits. Every night, he would scream in fear.”
"After a few days of torture, Master Mao's body is getting older and worse.”
"It's very strange. The weaker Master Mao's body was, the clearer he heard the crying. Later, he finally heard clearly that it was his daughter's crying.”
The other craftsman felt his hair stand on end as he swallowed his saliva."His daughter, who hasn't been buried yet, came looking for him? It didn't make sense. Didn't he treat his daughter very well?”
"Who knows?" The craftsman shook his head. It was said that his daughter cried to him that she could not be buried, could not enter the Yellow Spring Sect, and could not be reincarnated. She became a wandering ghost and was very bitter. She asked her father to save her.”
"When Old Master Mao woke up the next day, he immediately asked someone to invite an expert. In the end, he invited Ninth Uncle of Ren Town. It is said that Ninth Uncle is the most famous Taoist priest of Mao Mountain within a few hundred miles. As long as he encounters demons and ghosts, there is nothing he cannot deal with.”
Gu Zhou's heart skipped a beat. He stepped forward and asked,"Is it really Ninth Uncle of Ren Town?"
The craftsman who was narrating the story was shocked and said carefully,""That's what my daughter said. I don't know who it is exactly. Young Master Gu, we're just chatting casually. After eating, we'll go do our work…"
Working here was well paid. Ten days was equivalent to two months elsewhere. He did not want to be fired.
"Alright, it's fine."
Gu Zhou waved his hand and left quickly. He took his newly forged miaodao and headed straight for Chongshan Town with Da Niu.
He had always liked the long and slender miaodao, which had the characteristics of both knives and spears. He had practiced miaodao in the martial arts club for a period of time in university.
The miaodao could be used with one or two hands, which was convenient for the overall strength of the back.
When used against the enemy, it would toss and turn continuously, be swift and fierce, and destroy the body. The saber would turn with the person, and it would be as powerful as breaking bamboo. The killing power was extremely great.
Gu Zhou's miaodao was a five-foot size that cost 90,000 yuan.
Outsiders would never have thought that the predecessor of his miaodao was a ball bearing, and the ball bearing was made of high-carbon-chromium-alloy bearing steel. The material that could be used as the ball bearing was very strong in both hardness and wear resistance.
First, the bearing balls were melted. The melting process was very difficult. The bearing balls needed to be placed in a cement cylinder and burned in the furnace for a day. After a day, they were taken out and the cement cylinder was broken.
After obtaining a whole piece of steel material, he would quickly welding the steel to the handle of the knife to facilitate the subsequent operations.
After the hilt was sewn on, it was placed in the furnace to be heated until it was red. After it was heated, it was continuously forged. First, it was hammered by hand until the surface was non-slip, then it was placed in the forging machine to be forged. Because the material was very hard, the forging process was very difficult. Usually, the machine was the main force, and the manual force was the auxiliary force.
Until he was satisfied with it.
After forging, the two sides were polished smooth, and then a standard miaodao model was drawn. Then, the excess corners were wiped off, and the initial appearance of the knife was ground. After the grinding was done, it was the quenching printing process.
First, he applied special clay to the parts of the knife that did not need to be quenched. Then, he placed the knife into a fire and repeatedly burned it until it was red. Then, he placed it into quenching oil to quench it. After quenching, the hardness, strength, and toughness of the knife could be greatly improved.
After quenching, the impurities on the surface were wiped off, and the steel was baked to release the required hardness. Next, the knife was sharpened with a matte, and after the blade was sharpened, a layer of grease was applied to the blade.
Then, he sharpened the blade manually. This process was completely manual. Whether the blade was sharp or not depended on the master's craftsmanship. After grinding, he wiped the dirt on the surface and then pickled it. A miaodao was ready.
Gu Zhou didn't know what a knife that could cut through iron like mud looked like, but his miaodao could definitely cut through bones like mud and break hair. In this era, it was far superior to any divine weapon. In ancient times, it would definitely be worth tens of thousands of gold.
But in modern times, it was just an industrial product. They could have as many as they wanted.
Using this knife to chop off the zombie's head was like cutting tofu with a kitchen knife.
Gu Zhou felt that the 90,000 yuan was worth it as he watched the knife being made.
…………
Chongshan Town was about thirty miles away from Qingshan Town. Unlike Qingshan Town, which was poor and closed, Chongshan Town was much richer. Master Mao was the number one landlord in Chongshan Town.
Because he had long heard of Ninth Uncle's name, even if this matter had not happened, Gu Zhou planned to find time to visit him in Ren Town.
Ren Town was two hundred miles away. Compared to Chongshan Town, which was only thirty miles away, it was considered his doorstep. Gu Zhou naturally could not miss this opportunity.
Old Master Mao's matter had spread like wildfire in Chongshan Town. After asking around in Chongshan Town, he knew where Ninth Uncle was.
Three miles away from Chongshan Town was a graveyard. Normally, there were not many people, but today, it was very lively. There were hundreds of people gathered to watch the show.
The people of Chongshan Town wanted to see how Master Mao's daughter could be buried.
