Hou Ye is here, how dare Luo Yuan, Xie Xianling and others sit? They got up one after another, and walked in front of Shen Changtang in three steps and two steps.

"Xiaguan pays a visit to Master Hou."

When he boarded, he fell to his knees.

Shen Changtang said: "No need to be polite, Ben Hou happened to pass by, and I stopped by to take a look at the dou core." ”

Everyone stood up.

Xuanjia Wei Tiejia Sensen, so that people dare not look directly at this majestic nobleman. Luo Yuan was very worried, Mu Yanghou said that he came to see the fighting core, and he really didn't know what he was planning. A few days ago, he received a flying pigeon message from his mentor, telling him to be careful of Mu Yanghou recently. Thinking of this, Luo Yuan was even more uneasy.

Xie Shaohuai is very different, his relationship with Mu Yanghou is stronger than this group of people who have never even met in person, that noble person not only sent him a congratulatory gift, but also met him several times in the villa afterwards. Although he couldn't figure out the temper of this nobleman, he would definitely show himself well this time! Not far away, the girl on the tip of his heart is also there! If he climbs the backer of the Hou Ye, he will leave Luo Jiao! Marry another Yin!

Luo Yuan turned sideways and said stubbornly: "Master Hou, please come here." ”

At this time, Shen Changtang's every move was in the spotlight, he frowned, and there was also a group of people who were worried about what he had done wrong. Especially now that Shen Changtang stood still, letting Luo Yuan's hand freeze in mid-air, it was obviously the season of almost hot summer, which also made his clothes behind him soaked, and cold sweat broke out!

It was also at this time that Luo Yuan found that Mu Yanghou tilted his head slightly, and looked at the nuclear carving technician in the shed.

He withdrew his hand without a trace and said, "Lord Hou, all the nuclear carving technicians over there are participating in today's competition." ”.

There are many nuclear carving technicians who participate in the competition.

Ah Yin tried very hard to keep himself from feeling zài, and shrank and shrank inside, not daring to raise his eyes at all. In the past, she always got along with Mu Yanghou in private, but now in front of everyone's eyes, she suddenly felt a little weak-hearted, and she wished that the crowd around her would form a high wall and completely block Mu Yanghou.

"That's a lot of people."

Mu Yanghou's answer made Luo Yuanru get amnesty, and hurriedly said: "There are a total of 100 nuclear carving technicians participating in today's competition. ”

"Really?" He said nonchalantly.

Luo Yuan said: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, there are exactly one hundred people, including ninety-five male nuclear carving technicians and five female nuclear carving technicians. Mu Yanghou didn't answer again, Luo Yuan was very embarrassed in his heart, so he could only continue: "They are all good at nuclear carving. ”

Seeing a trace of coldness on Mu Yanghou's lips again, Luo Yuan was really so panicked that his clothes could wring out water!

"Female nuclear carving skills are rare."

Luo Yuan has been working hard in the officialdom for more than a year, and he knows that the most important thing is to figure out the meaning of the top, Mu Yanghou's words have not fallen, he has already shouted loudly: "Come on, invite all five female nuclear carving technicians out." As he spoke, he said: "The sun is getting bigger, and there is a shed over there that can cover the sun, Master Hou, please come here." ”

Shen Changtang bowed slightly, and then stepped forward.

Luo Yuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief behind him.

As soon as Shen Changtang came, the main seat Luo Yuan didn't dare to sit down, so he could only stand behind Shen Changtang. Shangguan Shixin was leisurely, said hello to Shen Changtang, and continued to sit down. Xie Xianling's family didn't have the confidence of the Shangguan family, so they could only stand with Luo Yuan in a bunch.

Five female nuclear carvers stand in a column.

Ah Yin in the fifth.

As soon as Luo Yuan saw Shen Changtang's face, he immediately said, "Don't you want to see Master Hou?" This is Mu Yanghou of Yongping. ”

The five female nuclear carvers came from all over Suizhou, and it was rare to have the opportunity to meet the nobles, and they were all panicked for a while, and the voices of the salutes were one after another, not neat at all.

Ah Yin lowered his eyes and went with the flow.

Luo Yuan looked at Shen Changtang quietly, and said, "It's all from a small family, which makes Master Hou smile." ”

Seeing Ah Yin's actions, Shen Changtang's face was displeased.

In order to pretend that he didn't know him, twisting and pinching, and shrunken, he didn't forget who looked at him unscrupulously before, and who dared to move around in his mouth at will. Now in public, it's like a different person.

In order not to get involved, she bothered to do so.

Hearing a cold snort from Mu Yanghou's nose, Luo Yuan's clothes were wet again, and he racked his brains to play a round, but unfortunately this Hou Ye didn't answer the question, and his gloomy face really made people prefer to wipe their necks rather than face it.

"What's your name?"

Shen Changtang asked casually.

Luo Yuan coughed lightly and hurriedly said, "Master Hou asked you what your names were, and I didn't answer quickly." ”

The four female nuclear carving technicians in front answered in turn, and when they arrived at Ah Yin, she was about to speak, when Shen Changtang spoke again: "Come forward and let Ben Hou take a look." ”

Ah Yin chuckled in his heart, but he didn't move.

Luo Yuan hurriedly gave Ah Yin a look.

After a while, Ah Yin came back to his senses, took a step, took four or five steps forward, and saluted again: "The people's daughter Yin Yin pays a visit to Mu Yanghou." When she got up, Shen Changtang suddenly raised his eyebrows lightly, and said in a lengthened tone: "Oh, you are familiar, where has Ben Hou seen you?" ”

Yan Shen's lips, who had been following Shen Changtang's side, couldn't help but tremble, his own Hou Ye and the Yin family were also interesting, the two obviously knew each other, and they kissed red at the foot of Cangshan, but now in front of everyone's eyes, one pretended not to know, and the other pretended to be familiar, I really don't know which one is interesting.

Ah Yin was so frightened that cold sweat came out.

She said: "Back to Hou Ye's words, the folk girl has a mediocre appearance, and she has an ordinary face, maybe so, Hou Ye will recognize the wrong person." After a pause, she gradually calmed down, and said: "The folk girl once heard that the Hou Ye expelled the barbarians in the year of the weak crown, and protected me from the peace and tranquility. ”

She saluted, and lowered her eyebrows as she stood up.

Just now, the meaning of her words was only a promise of four words, reminding this Mu Yanghou that he should inherit her! In a word, it is difficult to chase the horse!

Shen Changtang couldn't hear the meaning of her words, and said slowly: "You girl has a sweet mouth, hearing you say this, Ben Hou also remembered." Seven or eight days ago, you collided with Ben Hou's entourage, and as an apology, you took a moonlight nuclear sculpture in a lotus pond as a gift. ”

No matter how calm Rao is Ah Yin is, he can't help but raise his head at this moment.

He spoke in a serious manner, as if she had really rammed his entourage seven or eight days ago. She didn't expect that a dignified marquis would have the ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense! But she can only admit it! Otherwise, I don't know what kind of stubble he will come up with next.

She said: "It was originally Hou Ye's entourage, Ah Yin was offended, and he invited Hou Ye Haihan." ”

"Ben Hou is not a chicken belly, so I won't take this little thing to heart."

“…… Thank you, Lord Hou. ”.

The nuclear conference is divided into three rounds.

In the first round, 100 people carved together, within an hour, according to the given question, the carved more wins, and the top 20 enter the second round.

In the second round, Luo Yuan invited three famous nuclear carvers in Suizhou, and Shangguan's family also brought three nuclear carvers over, each of whom had a peach pit in his hand, and one of the nuclear carvers could choose one of the nuclear carving skills, and finally the winner of the peach pit entered the third round.

There are only six people left in the third round, and the nuclear carver will come up with a question, judging from the shape and charm, each nuclear carver has six peach pits in his hand, and the nuclear carver who participates in the competition will win the peach pit the most, and is the leader of the nuclear competition.

With the episode of Mu Yanghou, when Ah Yin returned to the competition shed, he received more attention.

On the other side, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get in. Originally, there was nothing wrong with Mu Yanghou's back-to-back rhetoric, but Shangguan Shixin was also there. She only gave him the moonlight nuclear carving of the lotus pond as a bosom friend gift a few days ago, and now after Mu Yanghou said it, she has become a random person who gives away nuclear carvings!

That bosom friend gift suddenly became insignificant, and it was not even worthy of the three immortal toad nuclear carvings he gave her.

Ah Yin was so ashamed that his ears were slightly red, and he didn't dare to look at Shangguan Shixin just now.

"Sister." Jiang Xuan called out worriedly, as if he wanted to say something.

Ah Yin pinched her palm, lowered her voice and said, "There are many people here. ”

Jiang Xuan understood.

Ah Yin said again: "The nuclear fighting conference is about to start, you don't have to stay in the shed, you go and stay with Fan Haohe." Don't worry, I'm fine, the most important nuclear conference right now. ”

Not long after Jiang Xuan left, the gong sounded, reverberating in the mountains, and the first round of the Dou Nuclear Conference was about to begin.

The morning before yesterday, all the people who had invitations went to the Tianling Inn and carved their wooden signs. Originally, Ah Yin didn't know what the wooden sign was for, but now he does. There are a hundred empty tables in the arena, and each empty table has a wooden sign.

A hundred tables, neatly arranged in ten rows.

Ah Yin's wooden sign is in sixth place in the third row.

After taking his seat, Ah Yin quietly waited for the topic. She had a good chance of winning the first round. Others carve the core need drawings, she doesn't need it, twelve years of hard work and hard work have made her familiar with nuclear carving, there is a knife and a peach pit, enough.

"Hey."

Ah Yin looked sideways, and there was a young Lang Jun sitting next door, born white and pure, looking like a hanger, holding his head with his hands, and said with a smile: "I heard that you don't use drawings for carving cores?" Don't use the carving core for the first time? How did you do it? ”

Ah Yin said lightly: "During the nuclear competition, the contestants are not allowed to talk. ”

"Don't be so rigid, you see, the people in the sixth row haven't sat down yet, so it's not the official start. My surname is Zhou, and I am the sixth in my family, and I am known as Liulang. Your surname is Yin, and I will call you Miss Yin in the future. There are a hundred nuclear carving technicians, and you and I sit next door, which is also fate, right? Maybe we'll still be opponents in the third round. ”

As soon as Ah Yin raised his eyes, he coldly saw the gaze cast by Mu Yanghou in front of him, and swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

Seeing that Ah Yin was so cold, Liuliulang suddenly felt bored and sat down in a daze.

After another half of the tea, all the nuclear carving technicians were in place, and the organizer Luo Yuan picked up the red silk mallet and struck it on a huge gong, and the earth-shattering sound burst out, and someone sang-

"The first round of the nuclear conference has officially begun!".

A nuclear carver stood up and slowly unfolded a scroll.

The nuclear carver looked to be in his sixties, but his voice was full of energy, and the hundred people present could hear it clearly.

"The topic of the first round is the white-haired old man."

As soon as the scroll was closed, the palms of the hands were slightly oblique, and two children moved the pineapple wooden Taishi chair in front of the venue, and a white-haired old man sat down tremblingly on crutches.

Another boy placed the colander on a conspicuously tall wooden table, reminding the nuclear carvers present that time was limited.

The expressions of everyone present were different, and most of them had a look of surprise and loss on their faces, but they didn't expect the topic to be completely different from what they imagined. Everyone knows how to proceed in the first round, and after getting the invitation post, he closed the door and did not go out to study the speed of knife skills, and also practiced many nuclear carvings suitable for fast carving in advance, such as the eighteen Arhats, and the peach of Fang Pan, and even some people learned Ah Yin, carving the same nuclear carving day after day, so as to achieve the purpose of no drawings.

But I never thought that the first question was faster than the carving, and it was not a common nuclear carving, but to let people carve a new thing on the spot.

Liu Liulang didn't expect it, but despite the difficulties, he was already ready to send it at this time! He immediately opened the wooden box prepared for the conference, and there were drawings of files, cones, knives, and peach pits in it. He took out the drawings, compared them with the white-haired old man, and drew them with a pen.

Most of the nuclear carving skills around also reacted and took up their pens to paint.

For a while, the audience was silent, only the sound of rice paper shaking.

Shangguan Shixin in the shed said with a smile: "Who came up with the topic?" It's interesting. ”

Luo Yuan said: "Speaking of which, it was my brother-in-law's idea. In order to prevent leakage, the person also decided last night. When Xie Shaohuai heard this, in order to ask for a farewell, he went out to thank Shangguan Shixin, and when he came back, he didn't stand in his original position, and approached Mu Yanghou without a trace.

He cleared his throat and flaunted his knowledge: "The first step in carving the core is to make a drawing, and only with the map can the core be carved accurately." The nuclear carvers present today are familiar with the pen, and it will be difficult to distinguish between the top and bottom in the championship competition. ”

Shangguan Shixin glanced at Xie Shaohuai and said, "As long as you can produce a good nuclear carving, the carving core is not divided into steps." ”

Xie Shaohuai said: "Shaodong's words are reasonable, and Shaohuai has been taught." Shaohuai also heard that the Yin carving nucleus present now did not need drawings, and the six knives were ...... together" The words stopped abruptly, and his heart and liver were pounding, he was not mistaken, right? That Hou Ye glanced at him? Xie Shaohuai swallowed his saliva, and said: "The nuclear carving has become a prototype, and our Gongcheng is really talented. ”

Luo Jiao said strangely: "It's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse." ”

Xie Shaohuai was dissatisfied with Luo Jiao saying this, and glared at her. Not to be outdone, Luo Jiao said again: "What did I say wrong?" Believe it or not, she's still in a daze on the field. Someone is starting to carve cores. ”

Liuliulang was extremely fast in drawing, and when others were only halfway through the drawing, he had already drawn the appearance of the white-haired old man on the drawing, took out the file and peach pit, and began to carve the core. Ah Yin still looked at the white-haired old man intently, as if he was in deep thought.

After Saturday Lang easily smoothed the skin of the peach pit with a file, he glanced at Ah Yin in a hurry.

She was still observing the white-haired old man.

At this time, most of the surrounding nuclear carving technicians had already taken out the file and started carving the core, and the slower, white-haired old man on the drawing was also a few strokes away from finishing. Liuliulang only felt weird, if she didn't start again, I'm afraid it would be too late.

The time of the first round is an hour, and it is the time to grind and polish. If you carve an ordinary Arhat, it is good to be able to carve three or four in an hour, after all, it is faster than hand, and Arhat is often carved. This time, the white-haired old man is a new nuclear carving, and it is difficult to get started, and it is great to be able to carve one in an hour.

Thinking of this, Liuliulang didn't dare to waste any more time and paid attention to it.

When the whole audience began to pick up the file, Ah Yin was still staring at the white-haired old man.

She was not in a hurry at all, as if she had entered a realm of selflessness, and was not affected by the people around her in the slightest.

In order to carve well and quickly in an hour, Ah Yin is looking for a trick.

Carving a white-haired old man is not much different from carving an Arhat.

There are also old people among the arhats, and the most important thing in carving a living person is the combination of facial features. The topic is the white-haired old man, and the focus must be on the old man. The rickety back, cloudy eyes, and white eyebrows are all owned by the old man, and the white-haired old man in front of him, with a dignified and dignified face, is quite similar to one of the eighteen Arhats, the Venerable Luo Luo, and his eyebrows are very similar to the long-eyebrow Arhat A Shi Duo Venerable.

She began to close her eyes and ponder.

The face of Venerable Luo Shuluo, the eyebrows of Venerable Ashiduo, the slightly collapsed nose, and the unsmiling lips......

The facial features quickly aligned and gradually merged into her atrium to form a vivid pattern.

Luo Jiao sneered: "The six-knife skill of the Eighteen Arhats is just an accident, now it is not a familiar nuclear carving, she doesn't even know how to use the knife!" Seeing that Ah Yin didn't move, she became more and more anxious in her heart, and she deserved Yin's joke.

Luo Yuan opened his mouth and signaled that the noble man was still ahead.

Luo Jiao relented slightly.

Luo Yuan didn't have much to do with the fighting core on the field, and he was even more worried about what Mu Yanghou came to the fighting nuclear conference for. It's a pity that I can't guess after thinking about it. Looking at Mu Yanghou again, he looked careless, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

At this moment, Shen Changtang turned his face slightly, and said to Shangguan Shixin: "Which nuclear carving technician is the Shaodong family optimistic about?" ”

Shangguan Shixin, who was named, said with a smile: "It's only the first round, it's the speed, and it's all unknown." He is more optimistic about Ah Yin in his heart, but he is not ready to say it at this time, the Luo family is eyeing her, and if he says it, he is afraid that he will cause trouble for her.

Shen Changtang raised his chin slightly.

"How's that one?"

Shangguan Shixin said: "Far away, Shixin can't see clearly." ”

"Really?" He slowly lengthened his tone and said, "What you can't see clearly, it's better not to be impulsive." When these words were spoken, several people present were a little confused. Especially Luo Yuan, thinking that Shen Changtang was warning him, he couldn't help but panic.

Shangguan Shixin smiled slightly.

"Master Hou is reasonable." He lowered his head to drink tea, and a pair of unsmiling eyes were reflected in the blue tea soup.

Luo Jiao couldn't understand the meaning between several big people, her whole mind fell on Ah Yin, and Ah Yin didn't have a mess today, she must be unhappy in her heart. Looking at the funnel again, the time for a stick of incense has passed, and there is still more than half an hour left.

Ah Yin opened his eyes suddenly.

Fang Fang's eyes, which were still calm and waveless, were now like scorching stars.

There is an old man in his heart.

A peach pit in one hand and a taper knife in the other.

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears, six slashes!

The once amazing six-knife stunt reappears! Her hands were as soft as bones, and when she held the awl knife, it was like a gust of wind, causing the nuclear chips to flutter like snow. The nuclear carving technicians close to Ah Yin, on the left and on the right, couldn't help but stop the file in their hands and let out an exclamatory sound, which provoked the surrounding nuclear carving technicians to also raise their eyes.

"This ...... This hand speed ......"

"Too ...... It's scary......"

"Is this still human?"

"Is she really carving cores?"

……

Ah Yin didn't seem to have heard it, she only had a peach pit in her eyes at this time, only a cone knife, only a white-haired old man engraved in her heart, and the surrounding qiē no longer existed, only she and the nuclear eagle were left between heaven and earth, and the nuclear eagle was with her.

Shangguan Shixin This was the first time he saw Ah Yin's carving core, and what amazed him was not her hand speed, but the appearance of her carving core.

In all fairness, she is a gentle beauty like water, like a mountain stream, gurgling water, and the heart of the person who sees it is relaxed. But as soon as she held the peach pit and the carving equipment, she was full of life, as if the whole mountain was also amazing because of the stream.

Such a nuclear carver has the starlight of the world in his eyes.

Shen Changtang suddenly said, "When will the first round end?" ”

"If you go back to the Hou Ye, there will be half an hour." Seeing Shen Changtang get up, Luo Yuan said again: "Master Hou is leaving?" Before the ......last two words of the next two words were spoken, Shen Changtang said: "When will the second round start?" ”

Rakuhara said, "It's past noon. ”

"Ben Hou will come back in the afternoon." As he spoke, he left the venue with a group of entourage.

Half an hour later, the first round ended.

Ah Yin carved four nuclear carvings of white-haired old men, and it was no surprise that he won the first round. She went back to the shed to rest, and Jiang Xuan and Fan Haohe came over. Fan Haohe said in amazement: "Saying absolutely can't express my mood at the moment!" ”

Jiang Xuan said proudly: "My sister's nuclear carving level is more than enough. ”

Ah Yin took the tea handed over by Jiang Xuan, drank half a cup, and then said with a smile: "Ah Xuan is my sister's 'Xi Shi' in her eyes, and she will say anything I carve." ”

Jiang Xuan said with a smile: "But what my sister said is the truth." ”

With the first round, there were more eyes looking at Ah Yin around, and some people wanted to come to talk, but there were tiger-eyed tiger fists, but few really dared to come. Jiang Xuan said again: "There is still an hour and a half before the start of the second round, so my sister might as well go back to the carriage and rest for a while." ”

"It's fine."

The carriage stopped a little farther away.

Ah Yin came late, and the place where the carriage was parked was already full, so Ah Yin had to ask the driver to hear the carriage under a tree a little farther away. Jiang Xuan had something to say to Ah Yin, and specially instructed Fan Haohe to follow from afar.

"Sister, just ......"

Ah Yin knew what she wanted to say, and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou should just come over to take a look." It takes a long time to carve the core, how can he be patient? Now the first round is not over, and the others are gone. I just came to join in the fun. ”

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he was a little relieved, and said, "Hey, why is the husband gone?" ”

Ah Yin said: "The sun is big in the morning, so I might go somewhere to enjoy the coolness." ”

Jiang Xuan smiled: "Yes, sister, it's better to close your eyes in the carriage and rest for a while, there is a second round in the afternoon." There is also a wolfberry cake made by the lady in the carriage, and my sister can eat a little when she is hungry. ”

Ah Yin said "um" and stepped on the carriage.

The carriage she had purchased was not large, it could only accommodate two people, it had windows and no doors, only a heavy curtain to cover it. As she reached into the curtain with one hand, a cold touch struck her, clenching her palm.

She subconsciously wanted to shake it off, but she couldn't.

…… Brute force can't do it.

There was only one situation when she couldn't do it brute force, and that was when God told her that she could not endanger her life.

"Sister? How do you stand still? ”

She said, "I ...... I suddenly remembered something, Ah Xuan, you go to the venue to take a look, my father should still be there. Tell your father not to talk nonsense, so as not to get into trouble. As you know, my father got up and ran away with his mouth full of camels. ”

"Good! Sister, you have a good rest, I'll come back later. I asked Fan Xiaolang to guard the ......"

With a tight palm, Ah Yin said quietly: "You let Fan Haohe guard from afar, someone is close, I can't sleep." ”

Jiang Xuan answered again, and then left.

This place is remote and quiet, and the wind blows to dry the cold sweat on Ah Yin's forehead. She didn't struggle, and said calmly, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”

The man in the carriage seemed to be very interested in her palm, and he didn't reply, rubbing his thumb against her palm, again and again, and a little seductive for no reason. She blushed and said, "Whatever your Excellency has come for, if you want money, take it." I let my people go, and I promise to keep quiet. ”

Now that the nuclear conference is in full swing, Ah Yin doesn't want to make trouble, and more is better than less.

Besides, Ah Yin knew that Chen Dou had been following her carriage, and he could quietly enter her carriage without alarming Chen Dou.

The man remained silent or silent, rubbing her palm as if it were a thing.

Ah Yin was annoyed and said, "If Your Excellency is unwilling to cooperate, don't blame me for being unkind." There are many officers and soldiers here, and there is a Shangguan family here, if you are presumptuous......" Before the words were finished, there was a force in the palm of the hand to pull up.

She stumbled into the carriage and fell into a cold embrace.

The man hugged her, lowered his eyes slightly, still playing with her palm, and said expressionlessly: "Would you rather raise the name of Shangguan Shixin than the name of Ben Hou, in your heart, Ben Hou is not as good as Shangguan Shixin?" ”
