Chapter 5: The Carpenter's Forging Knife (1)
"His name is a carpenter, and his profession is a farmer, and now we have him to strike iron. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Lao Tao, are you sure you haven't gone to the wrong place? ā
Tao Yuan was struggling with a pot of water, and after drinking it in one gulp, he said: "Well, what's wrong, it's all according to the address given by Chun Niang, and then you won't know if you can try it with iron." ā
That's right, but such a part-time person is too rare in the Warring States, but this Zhao Zheng in front of him is a little unconvinced, his thin arms and arms are not strong, and his legs are limping when he walks.
"Where did you learn the trade of blacksmithing, how many years did you do it?" Zhao Zheng took out the questions he often asked in interviews in his previous life and said tentatively.
The carpenter glanced at Zhao Zheng and said lightly: "The old man opened a furnace to fight a sword when he was eight years old, and he became a master at the age of thirty, and the old man is one hundred and thirty-two years old this year, how many years do you say I have been doing it?" ā
"Yo he, 100-year-old birthday star, uncle, if you dye white hair, I might believe it, but you look older than Lao Tao, where do you dare to say that you are more than 100 years old."
Zhao Zheng said and pulled off a carpenter's hair, and said to himself: "I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, so I met me, and I see how you deceive people in the future." ā
"The erector is rude," the carpenter slapped the table and said angrily, "The old man has forged countless swords in his life, and there are countless clever messages of the production. ā
"I kicked my nose in the face, and told you an old liar like you, I have seen a lot of them, master, and none of them dared to be presumptuous in front of me, not to mention that you have seen this kind of bow and crossbow?" After graduating from university, Zhao Zheng was deceived by an old man in an intermediary, so he hates these guys who rely on the old and sell the old the most. In addition, his temper was already stubborn, so he put a bar on the carpenter, and hurriedly took out the drawings of his restored Song Dynasty divine arm bow.
"It's..." the carpenter was speechless in shock.
Then after a long time, he made a strange gesture to Zhao Zheng, and seeing that Zhao Zheng was indifferent, he asked: "You are not from the Gongyi family, so where did you get the blueprint of this Wang crossbow?" ā
Where did you get it, can I tell you that it was plagiarized from Baidu, Zhao Zheng cocked his head and said: "This is exactly what the master himself came up with, why haven't you seen it?" ā
"I didn't expect it"
Zhao Zheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said in his heart: Who will compete with Du Niang, see if you are an old man of the Warring States period.
"I didn't expect you to kill yourself", the carpenter looked at Zhao Zheng and said with a look of underbeating, "This king crossbow can shoot enemy soldiers two hundred steps away, and it is called the king crossbow because of the crossbow arrows."
It has always been an untold secret of the Gongyi family, and only the head of the family can watch it. The old man was fortunate to have a look at it in the past because he was kind to the public loser, but he only saw a rough idea, and he didn't know about it.
Thirty years ago, the Gongyu family's organ city was invaded, and the Tianqiao Pavilion where the drawings were stored was broken into, and this drawing must have flowed out at that time.
I haven't found it for 30 years, but I didn't want to let me see it today, it's really providence, providence. ā
The carpenter suddenly grabbed Zhao Zheng's shoulder, and Zhao Zheng froze in place. Seeing this, Tao Yuan punched the carpenter in the back of the heart, but was shocked back by an internal force, and his heart was stirred.
"Master Mu stop, where did Zhao Lang offend you?" Chun Niang, who went to the kitchen to cook after the carpenter was picked up, was bringing a bowl of soup, and just saw this scene and threw the bowl to the ground in fright, and ran over and asked.
The carpenter let go of Zhao Zheng's shoulders, straightened his clothes and said, "Boy, tell me honestly who got this drawing from, and have you let others see it?" ā
Zhao Zheng rubbed his shoulders and thought with a wry smile: "I can't load a pen in the future, who would have thought that the things on the bad street in the previous life are still the secrets of a certain family." Moreover, these families value technology more than human life, who knows that one day they will slaughter themselves, isn't it extremely wronged. ā
"This is my ...... It is not known to others. Zhao Zheng wanted to say that he was original, but thinking of the old man's fierce force just now, he felt that it was better to keep a low profile.
The carpenter stroked his beard and thought for a while: "If only the old man knows about it, he can still save your life, but you have to promise the old man a condition, the old man will not only forge that light knife for you, but also pass on some other kung fu that others don't know." ā
It's miserable, being targeted, Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart. Tightly said that in the future, he will no longer pretend to be looking for trouble, and there is a big scourge in front of him today, his appearance is not good, an old man claims to be a hundred years old, and the realm of the little master of Taoyuan is not his enemy.
"If the seniors have something to order, as long as they are done."
The carpenter nodded and said, "Actually, this is very simple, the old man wants you to worship me as a teacher." ā
"Nani?" Zhao Zheng was soaking out of a cold sweat, and the master who didn't say a word and buckled people's necks was not blessed to enjoy himself.
"How dare this kid insult the lintel of his predecessors, let's change things. In fact, it is not impossible for the younger generations to give up the drawings of this king's crossbow, as long as the seniors are willing to help forge the knife, the younger generations will use the drawings of this king's crossbow as a reward. ā
"Seriously."
Zhao Zheng nodded, revealing a sincere look.
The carpenter was pleasantly surprised, shook his head and said to himself: "It's still not good, if you accept this kid as an apprentice, the drawings will naturally belong to the old man, and then I will say that I came up with a more precise Wang crossbow out of thin air, and I can also be angry that the old man loses." ā
"Forget it, the old man thinks your qualifications are not bad, but there are few people who can come up with this knife, okay, the old man has made up his mind, kneel down and apprentice."
What, it's clear that you, an unscrupulous old man, plan to plagiarize my stealing Du Niang's divine arm bow pattern, why did you end up asking me to kneel down and apprentice.
The baby was unwilling, and Zhao Zheng insisted on not kneeling. Suddenly, I felt my knees bend, my neck was grabbed and pressed down, and I bowed firmly.
The carpenter smiled and took the drawings on the table, and said, "Good apprentice, this thing is too precious or let the master keep it for you, you go down to cook, remember to add sugar to soy milk." Then he left the front hall with a smile, muttering: "Earn it, the old man will never have to eat that tasteless vegetable soup again." ā
Zhao Zheng was full of black lines, and snorted: "Add sugar, add sugar, labor and management make you have diabetes." ā
Suddenly, he looked at the shadow who was quietly leaving: "Slow, didn't you kick my knee just now, why did you want me to salute the old man, with my talent, you are afraid that you will not be able to buy a house or a car..."
Chun Niang took one foot back, smiled at Zhao Zheng and said: "Zhao Lang Mo is angry, do you know how powerful Master Mu is, back then, Tie Jian's brother-in-law was never accepted by him three times to apprentice, I can see with my own eyes that Master Mu refused to apprentice to his brother-in-law when he waved his hand, and my brother-in-law could no longer kneel down with the strength of a thousand catties." How glorious it is for you to worship him today. ā
"Yes, but I can't easily apprentice."
Zhao Zheng complained in a louder and quieter voice, in fact, he was already moved when he saw the carpenter retreating from the pottery garden just now.
"What will happen if you learn martial arts yourself?" Zhao Zheng looked at the sky where the stars were beginning to appear and asked silently.
