When Shandong Dam heard this name, he at first frowned, but then firmly shook his head and said:
"I don't know him. What does he have to do with this?"
I saw that the expression on his face was very complicated and felt that it was a little strange. However, since I said that I didn't know him, I didn't pursue the matter any further. I just smiled and randomly found an excuse.
He opened his mouth and asked:
"Then is there a way to save my life? Why did you say that the supernatural sculpture could save me?"
When Shandong Dam heard this question, he laughed heartily and retorted:
"What kind of situation is this white cat in?"
After saying this, I was stunned. If the white cat was a cat in a normal sense, then it was an animal.
But from a deeper point of view, the white cat did not bode well in metaphysics. The cat had the shape of a tiger, occupying the Western Plane. Plus, this was a white cat. To me, this was the White Tiger's power.
I explained my understanding to the Shandong Dam once, and this man nodded his head, praising me for being a child to be taught, and continued.
"This White Cat Form follows the White Tiger's lead. It's a massacre, and since that's the case, now it's a massacre by the White Tiger. You should know what to do now, right?"
These words seemed to be filled with wisdom. Eastern Azure Dragon, Western White Tiger, Southern Vermillion Bird, and Northern Black Turtle represented the West, West, Gold, North, and Southern Flames of the East and the North respectively.
The only thing that could counter the White Tiger's gold was the Fire Vermillion Bird, which was based on the situation in the southern region.
"It shouldn't be difficult for you to make a statue of a Vermillion Bird in the shape of a beast."
I hesitated for a moment. If what I said was true, then it was true. However, if I did that, it would be a violation of the teachings of the ancestors.
The Shandong Dam seemed to be able to think things through. As if I knew what was going on in my mind, he pulled my elbow and said.
"Brother, this tree is already dead, what are you still thinking about? The ancestral laws can't be changed, the rules are set by humans, so what does it matter if we just do it once?"
Seeing that I didn't say anything, he continued to speak with a worried expression.
"Think about it again, if you die, this supernatural sculpture will be broken. At that time, forget about your ancestors, even your name would disappear from the world. If you go to the underworld, you would be letting down your ancestors."
I told him to reconsider, but Shandong Dam was so anxious that I didn't think about it much, so he pulled me right in front of the shrine to the ancestral tablets.
"In this world, three disasters and nine calamities are unavoidable. The only one who can survive is a real man, and if he can't, then he'll be a real man after 18 years. But if he lives in a place with these rules and regulations, then even if he dies, he'll still die."
He nodded to me and I clenched my teeth. In this world, I still have a lot of money that I haven't earned yet. If I die like this, wouldn't it be a pity?
Thinking about this, I took out three fragrant sticks and placed them in front of the ancestral tablets.
"The previous generations of supernatural sculpture's descendants, Qin Waijia, had no choice but to protect himself with the supernatural sculpture, I have no choice but to do so, please forgive me, during this moment of life and death, if you use this method to do evil, I will show no mercy."
Before my voice had even died away, I kowtowed a few times, then took out the box that held the tools, and placed it on top of the worktable.
The Eastern Green Dragon, Western White Tiger, Southern Vermillion Bird, and Northern Xuan Wu statues were from the Four Extreme Realms. In fact, they looked like animals, but they were not the beasts mentioned by the Shandong Dam.
This is also the basic vertical direction of the children's technique that we were just learning back then, it is not difficult to do.
I told the Shandong Dam to find a place to wait for me. I took a bath and changed my clothes, and after I was done, I sat in my seat quietly for a while. Then, I picked up the clay and started to create the sculpture.
In three hours, an entire Vermillion Bird statue was erected on top of the Table.
Shandong Dam was startled when he saw this and kept praising. With my skills, if you were to look from afar, it would truly think that there was a divine bird standing in front of him.
I smiled and didn't take what he said seriously.
"Now that the statue has been made, what's the next step?"
"White Tiger, you can carry this statue to sleep. I'll be the only one left."
Shandong Dam said this calmly, but I was almost shocked.
"Just sleep with this thing. No way." I didn't quite understand, I had already done this supernatural sculpture for so many years, but I had never heard of it being used like this.
Seeing my puzzled expression, he only assured me that he had his own methods. As long as I listened to his words, this matter would definitely be completed.
"Alright then …"
I replied skeptically, and just like what Shandong Dam had said, I laid down on my Office's bed. The Shandong Dam shook his Clothes and changed into a set of robes. Then, he picked up a brush and started drawing on the tiles on the floor.
"What are you drawing?" I curiously asked. Shandong Dam didn't even pay attention to me and just told me to quickly close my eyes and sleep while hugging the statue.
It was strange to say that this was clearly a heavy burden on my mind, but after hugging this statue, my mind unexpectedly calmed down a lot. After I closed my eyes, I immediately fell into a deep sleep and fell into a deep slumber.
In the dream, it was pitch black, and the only thing left was a golden light emitting from my chest.
That light was extremely dazzling, causing me to be unable to open my eyes. I was barely able to see that it was me who was hugging a phoenix like little bird.
Furthermore, it looked extremely familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it wasn't a phoenix, but rather the statue of the Vermillion Bird that he had created earlier.
This statue really came back to life. Although it was in the dream, I still felt amazed.
The Vermillion Bird nodded its head repeatedly on my chest, and let out a phoenix cry.
When I heard these sounds, I felt an itch in my ears and eyes. I actually felt that it was a little fun. I lowered my head to see that the light from the Vermillion Bird had already faded, revealing a fiery red feather.
Suddenly, a roar came from a place not too far away.
"Aooo …"
That sound was like a pneumatic mountain and a river, and it brought along with it the sound of wind. It was so powerful that it scared me so much that I couldn't help but shiver.
I thought about what this thing was in my heart, and immediately remembered what Shandong Dam had told me about the White Tiger.
