Chapter 80: Tricks and the Old Man

A carriage was moving forward on Xinzheng Street without hurry, and inside the carriage, Ye Chen and Han Fei were talking.

"Is that master craftsman really as powerful as you say?"

Ye Chen asked.

Han Fei smiled and said, "Don't dare to deceive Senior Brother, that master is indeed extraordinary, even the exclusive builder in the palace can't compare to it." ”

When Ye Chen heard this, he became a little interested and asked, "Since this person is so good, why is his reputation not obvious?" ”

"This master is not interested in fame and fortune, he is dedicated to the art of construction, if he is not interested in something, even if it costs more money, please do not move."

Han Fei replied.

Ye Chen nodded, Han Fei's vision is still quite good, and if he can have such a high evaluation, he must indeed have some ability.

The frame was moving, and after nearly half an hour, it came to the outskirts of Xinzheng.

After a while, the car stopped.

The two of them stepped out of the carriage and saw a small courtyard in sight.

This courtyard doesn't look special, but it's a little dilapidated, not to mention compared to Zilanxuan, even if it can't even compare to an ordinary inn.

Of course, Ye Chen did not jump to conclusions because of this, after all, some virtuous people like to live in the Burrow, such as Zhuge Wolong.

But he soon realized that he had seen it wrong, not by the wrong person, but by the wrong person.

Ye Chen stepped forward and stretched out his hand to push the door open, but Han Fei behind him hurriedly stopped him when he saw this: "Senior brother, slow down!" ”

However, his words were too late, and by this time the former's palm had already been placed on the door.

Then, many small holes suddenly appeared on the door that looked unremarkable.

As the sound of "swish" sounded, a silver light flashed.

Ye Chen's face moved, and then his figure flickered and appeared two feet away.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of slender thorns like cow's hair flew out and hit the ground, where he was standing.

"Tricks."

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen said lightly.

He should have thought a long time ago that the person who could make Han Fei so admired was definitely not an ordinary craftsman.

To be able to install such a delicate mechanism on top of two thin wooden doors, the level of the maker is definitely not low, and when he put his palm up, he could feel that this seemingly simple door is actually not so simple.

At least a normal blade is hard to break.

At this time, Han Fei walked over, glanced at the ground, and then said, "Senior brother, I forgot to tell you, you can't touch anything here casually."

Although these needles are not fatal, they can leave you unconscious for at least an hour if you are shot. ”

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you know this?" Could it be that I have been recruited ...... before"

Hearing this, Han Fei coughed twice in a slightly embarrassed way, and then diverted the topic and said, "Senior brother, it's better not to mess around with the things here." Although you are strong in martial arts and are not afraid of these, we are asking someone to do things on this trip, and we still have to be polite. ”

Ye Chen nodded, Fang Cai really didn't think about it.

At this moment, a lazy and somewhat impatient voice sounded: "Yes, come and knock on my old man's door early in the morning!" ”

When Han Fei heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Senior, under Han Fei, I came to ask for advice today." ”

After a few breaths, the wooden door was slowly opened, and an old man who looked a little unkempt, but full of spirit, appeared in front of the two of them.

"It's you, kid."

The old man said casually, and then his eyes fell on Ye Chen's body on the side.

After looking at it for a moment, he said, "Who is this?" ”

"This is my senior brother, Ye Chen. Come with me today to visit my seniors. ”

Han Fei bowed slightly.

The old man thought for a moment, and then said, "Senior brother? Oh, come to my senses, it's the guy who drew that drawing, right? ”

"That picture is indeed from the hands of the underneath."

Ye Chen replied.

The old man said: "Your picture is a little interesting, although it is not subtle, but it is also a little new. ”

"That's why we're here today. I wonder if the old gentleman can build the house on the drawings? ”

Ye Chen asked straight to the point.

The old man replied: "That thing is not complicated, but it is a little troublesome to build, let's talk about it when you come in." ”

As he spoke, he stepped out of the way and let the two of them in.

Ye Chen raised his feet and entered the courtyard, but when he saw the scene in the courtyard, he was stunned.

The yard looked a little messy, and there were two "people" cleaning it.

It's just that this man is not flesh and blood, but made of wood and some metal.

At this time, they were holding brooms, sweeping away the fallen leaves, dust, and large pieces of wood chips in the yard.

"How's it going, senior brother? I'll just say this master is extraordinary, right? ”

Han Fei said with a chuckle.

Ye Chen nodded lightly: "This technique has reached a considerable level, even among the Mo family, I am afraid that there are not many who can reach this point." ”

"What's so nice about two pieces of wood? Don't come over yet. ”

The old man, who had already walked into the house, said.

The two of them replied, and then entered the house as well.

After entering the door, Ye Chen looked around, and he could feel that there were no less than ten mechanisms in this room alone, and this was something he could find, and there should be a lot of hidden places in the dark.

Under the cover of such a mechanism, even a first-class master may be hit by the carelessness of the player.

The old man sat down by himself, and then took out the drawing drawn by Ye Chen from his arms and looked at it.

Ye Chen asked, "I don't know what the old gentleman is called?" ”

"Just call me old man."

The old man said casually.

Ye Chen said: "In order to draw this picture, I also wasted a lot of brains, can I ask the old man to help?" ”

Ye Lao said: "If you want to build a house of this style, you have high requirements for the bonding and load-bearing capacity of the materials, and it is difficult for ordinary wood bricks and tiles to support. ”

Ye Chen naturally knew this, and then said, "What if there is such a material? ”

Hearing this, Ye Lao's expression moved, and he asked, "Can you make such a thing?" ”

At this time, glutinous rice paper and mud were used as adhesive materials, and animal offal and linen pieces were added to the construction of the castle wall.

However, even so, it is still not strong enough, and it will be smashed by stones or even collapse during the siege.

If a new kind of adhesive item can appear, it will undoubtedly be of epoch-making significance, and there will be a huge change in both the construction of houses and military defense.

Ye Chen smiled: "I stumbled upon a material that might solve this problem......
