Li Yan then thanked the Tianxue Fairy again for her help. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I came to the foot of Tengzhou Mountain, I saw countless smoke rushing up from the entire Tengzhou Mountain, a steel city on the mountain, and countless craftsmen came and went. Among them, the sound of striking iron, hammering, hammer forging, and sawing wood is endless, and the jingling is transmitted far away.

At the foot of the mountain, I saw many flowing cattle and Trojan horses, rune paper wooden people, or mining, or logging, or transportation, or burning fires, densely packed with tens of thousands, automatically up and down along the mountain road, all working on their own, without interfering with each other, in an orderly manner.

As the Tianxue Fairy entered the iron-cast city on Tengzhou Mountain, the shops on both sides of the street were filled with all kinds of puppets and puppet craftsmen.

Tailors, blacksmiths, potters, carpenters, builders, plasterers, silversmiths, embroiderers...... There are all kinds of professional craftsmen, and sure enough, thousands of professional craftsmen can be seen here.

According to the Tianxue Fairy, in the entire Tengzhou Iron City, there are hundreds of thousands of craftsmen and puppets of all kinds, and the work content of each craftsman puppet is different.

Every craftsman puppet, although it is only a puppet instrument with magic magic, but if its craftsmanship is put into the world, it can definitely be called a master's level.

And these hundreds of thousands of artisan puppets were made by the God of Hundred Crafts and his hundreds of disciples. The god of a hundred crafts only needs a divine thought, and he can command hundreds of thousands of craftsmen and puppets to make meticulous movements and complete extremely complex work, this divine power is simply incredible.

When Li Yan was in the world, he rarely heard of the legend of the god of a hundred crafts in ancient times, so he asked the Tianxue Fairy again in curiosity.

The Heavenly Snow Fairy smiled and said, "In the legends of the world, there is indeed no clear legend of the god of a hundred crafts. In fact, if we trace back to the source, the real god of 100 workers should be co-workers. Altogether, there is a great meaning, work, refers to the craftsman. Co-work is the meaning of master and master. Of course, Gonggong is one of the four fierce gods, and later generations only remember his great flood, but forget his talent as a craftsman. ”

"As for the god of Baigong that we are going to see now, it is not Gonggong, but his descendant disciple Luban. Lu Ban is the embodiment of skilled craftsmen in the world, the ancestor of civil engineering craftsmen in architecture, and the god in charge of craftsmen in thousands of industries. ”

Li Yan suddenly realized. It turned out that Patriarch Luban was later consecrated as a god and became the god of a hundred workers.

Outside the temple, the Ten Thousand Worlds car stopped. Due to the restrictions of the laws of the Heavenly Court, Li Yan couldn't get out of the car, so he could only ask the Tianxue Fairy to pay homage on his behalf.

The Tianxue Fairy took the Yaotai Cinnamon and entered the temple to meet the God of Hundred Crafts, and relayed Li Yan's request.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Snow Fairy walked out empty-handed. With her, there was also a boy with a simple appearance and a dark complexion like charcoal.

Tianxue Fairy introduced that this person was a disciple of the God of Hundred Crafts, and he specially passed on the word on behalf of the God of Hundred Crafts.

This disciple named "Miao Ding" handed Li Yan a few runes and said, "These are a few runes that the master gave you for the sake of the fairy's Yaotai Yugui. ”

Then he introduced: "The first talisman, called 'Craftsman's Eye', can greatly increase people's eyesight and improve their craftsman's strength. He burned it to ashes and took it, and his eyesight was greatly increased, and he saw the hairs as if he were seeing the legs of an elephant; And any process, never forget, use it to cook. With it, then goldsmithing, if there is divine help. ”

"The second talisman, called 'Alchemy Control', can make people have the most wonderful technical secret art. As the name suggests, this spell has the divine power to control and shape the metal according to the mind. With it, no matter how complicated and difficult the patterns, patterns, and shapes can be completed without much effort, which is enough to be proud of countless craftsmen in the world. ”

Finally, he took out a small fire lamp and said, "There is a spiritual fire here, which was also given to you by the master." It can be controlled at will, scaled up to the size of a house, or reduced to a ray of fire, making it extremely sensitive. Calcining any metal mineral with it can cause incredible changes in the metal. The texture, toughness, elasticity, luminosity and other attributes of gold and silver are far beyond ordinary things, and they can be as clean as new all year round, and are not easy to break, change color and be old. ”

Finally, he explained how to use the treasures, and then turned and left.

Li Yan saluted in the car and thanked him, and then decided that after returning to the world, he must make a statue of the god of hundred crafts to worship.

Tianxue Fairy also got into the special car and returned to the world with Li Yan. On the way, she told Li Yan that the god of hundred crafts has four great disciples, whose names are Miao Peak, Ascending Peak, Heavenly Gong, and Shenhua, which correspond to the four major stages of craftsmanship such as Wonderful to the Peak, Ascending to the Peak, Skillful Heavenly Craft, and Divine Transformation. Miao Feng is the last of the four masters, but the technique is extremely delicate and wonderful, which is enough to help Dongyan Jewelry's technical level be reborn.

Back at Sky Blue Star, Li Yan rushed to Guangzhou. In the Dongyan jewelry factory in Guangzhou, Li Yan found his father.

At that time, it was five or six o'clock in the evening, and the craftsmen and employees in the factory had already left work, and only Li Yuandong was still in the workshop.

But by that time he was lying on the table, with a pile of blueprints pressed on his face, and he was already asleep.

Under the illumination of the light, Li Yan found that the silver threads on his father's head flashed, and the white hair seemed to have increased a lot. It seems that this exhibition really put a lot of pressure on him.

Li Yan stood behind his father for a long time, listening to his well-proportioned breathing, seeing that he slept so sweetly, and sighed silently in his heart.

He hadn't slept in a relaxed night, had he?

Li Yan didn't dare to wake him up, so he secretly brought a piece of clothing and covered him.

From behind, my father's back seemed thinner and older than ever. And Li Yan's figure fell on him, but he looked extremely tall and burly.

This man who has always stood up to the sky in his heart and has borne the hardships of life alone for decades is really old.

Li Yan still vividly remembers that when he was a teenager, this man in that old, gray silver workshop, facing the scorching firelight, facing the heat waves, day after day, year after year, beating, carving, pondering, and magically completing one piece of jewelry like a work of art, and then in the satisfied smiles and praise of the guests, he obtained long-term spiritual satisfaction.

At this time, the young Li Yan was full of childish amazement and reverence for his father. He's the greatest man in the world!

It's just that over the years, the frost and dust of the years have turned his hair white. The years of fire have burned and aged his skin. The firelight that shone day and night had already blinded him and injured his optic nerve.

He's really old.

Li Yan stood silently behind his father for an unknown amount of time before dragging his heavy steps and making him a pot of tea. He burned the two magic runes of the Craftsman's Eye and Alchemy Control Technique given by Miaofeng, and then swept all the talisman ashes into the teacup and poured it full of tea.

With a gentle stir of the tea, those black rune ashes disappeared in the water in an instant, and countless golden runes seemed to change and ripple on the water surface, and they returned to their original state in a blink of an eye.

That cup of tea, as if it had just been poured in, all the impurities were gone.

Li Yan took the cup of tea and gently placed it next to the table where his father was asleep. Then he took out the heart fire again. Pouring down the lamp like an oil lamp, the reddish flame, like a small cloud and a cotton flower, floated gently and leisurely, and slowly fell on the back of Li Yuandong's head.
