Chapter 021: That Master
Qin Bing had not participated in the workshop assessment before, but he had heard many rumors in this regard, and the assessment in previous years was related to drawing talismans, or rather, in the past, the assessment only tested the warlock's ability to draw talismans, after all, this is the warlock's housekeeping ability. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This year, let's draw talismans on spherical and curved surfaces, although the difficulty has increased a lot, but after all, it is still the category of drawing talismans, and playing with mud is not related to the warlock's eight poles.
The person who wrote the question in the workshop would never throw out such a question without a head, and there must be a deep meaning in it - this is what Teacher Cang said, and Qin Bing thought it was true.
There were many others who had similar thoughts, and they all tried to knead mud into various utensils, but after a few attempts they gave up, and this thing was really not something that could be done if they wanted to, at least not by a noble man like a warlock.
"Hmph, what kind of clay figurine, I'm a dignified warlock, my hands are born to draw talismans, not to fiddle with these filth."
"That is, we warlocks are also priests when we go to the workshop, not workers, so I won't surrender myself to fiddle with mud."
The people of the world are divided into scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, and among the noblest of the people, industry and commerce are lowly occupations, and masons are even more unworthy professions, and it is reasonable that these warlocks are unwilling to fiddle with mud.
Qin Bing didn't have these messy thoughts, his index finger lightly touched the mud, as if on the cheek of his beloved, stunned and sad.
Teacher Cang noticed Qin Bing's abnormality and asked in a low voice: "What, do you remember the peeing and mud when you were a child?" ”
Burst......
Qin Bing almost spurted blood, and said in shame in his heart: "I don't do that kind of rude thing." ”
Ignoring Teacher Cang's broken thoughts, Qin Bing rolled up his sleeves, and pulled his hands into the basin at the same time, grabbing out a cloud of mud.
"The mud must have been made from the dust that had been sifted through a sieve, and there was no debris. Moreover, the ratio of soil to water is moderate, neither too soft nor too hard, and it is most suitable for clay figures. ”
Teacher Cang said curiously: "Yo, do you still pinch clay figures?" However, the kneading utensils required by the assessment, you pinch the clay figure is not counted as a goose"
"I know!"
Qin Bing skillfully formed the mud into a ball, and then patted and slapped it, smoothing the mud ball in front of him. The things in his hands slowly took shape, and his thoughts flew to his childhood......
"I want a sugar gourd, I want a sugar gourd, Daddy, you buy me a sugar gourd......"
A little girl with a horn combed hugged her father's leg and coquettishly, her sparkling eyes staring at the vendor selling sugar gourds not far away. The little girl did not notice the impatience on her father's face. Until a crisp slap, the little girl was completely stunned, and her bright eyes became dim and hollow little by little.
"Here you go, sugar gourd."
The little girl took it and bit it, but soon said, "Baba Baba", "You lie to people, this is mud, it's not sweet at all." ”
"Haha, when I grow up and can make a lot of money, I'll buy you sweet sugar gourds."
The little girl jumped happily, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, by the way, my name is Jade Girl, what about you?" ”
"My name is Qin Bing."
"Oh, you actually have a surname, you must be a nobleman, right?"
"I'm not a nobleman, my house is next door to you. By the way, what else do you want, I'll continue to make it for you. ”
"I want puppies, ponies, little people......"
Jade girl, I can make a lot of money now, and I can buy a lot of sugar gourds, but where are you?
Qin Bing took out a wooden stick from the tool next to him, threaded the round mud balls, and then picked up the talisman pen to paint the mud balls bright red, people who don't know will really think that this is a sugar gourd.
The cheeks of the little official who had been paying attention to Qin Bing twitched, and he really wanted to get this naughty guy out and cancel his assessment qualification. But thinking of the explanation from above, the little official could only turn his head, out of sight.
Qin Bing didn't think there was anything wrong with him doing this, so he stuck the sugar gourd aside, and then grabbed a large ball of mud again, and at the same time conceived in his mind the utensils he was about to make.
He can not only pinch sugar gourds, but also all kinds of clay figures and small animals. When he was a child, there were no toys, and it was these mud things that carried the laughter and memories of him and the jade girl. Qin Bing thought that he was unfamiliar and forgotten, but he didn't expect that the moment his hands were pulled into the mud, that feeling would grow wildly like a budding seed.
This time, Qin Bing was about to pinch a sword out, and when he was empowered by the Tiangong blacksmith and taught the forging experience, it included information such as the shape of many weapons and equipment. Qin Bing chose a dagger from it - the total length is 32.5 cm, the blade length is 19.8 cm, and the blade thickness is 0.6 cm...... Well, centimeters are a strange unit, why not rulers and inches.
Qin Bing kneaded it for a while, and then gently patted it with his hand, like using a forging hammer to strike an iron embryo to shape it, and under his continuous patting, the mud on the case slowly turned into a long shape. Qin Bing chose a copper sheet from the tools next to him, and then lightly tapped it on the mud ball to shape it.
After thousands of tempering, it was finally formed, and the originally ugly mud ball slowly took on shape, edges and corners in Qin Bing's hands, and it didn't take long for a dagger that could appear on the case as a fake and real one. What is surprising is not only the realism of this dagger, but also the unique shape of this dagger, like the fangs of a fierce beast, bloodthirsty and hideous.
"Huh? There is something strange about this dagger. ”
A slightly old voice sounded in Qin Bing's ears, and immediately, the dagger that Qin Bing pinched out of mud fell into a big withered yellow hand.
Qin Bing hurriedly said, "Be careful! The dagger isn't dry yet, so don't break it for me. ”
"The little doll is ingenious, and you have passed this second assessment. I'm in charge, you've been accepted into the workshop! ”
When Qin Bing heard this, he immediately relieved himself, it seemed that this old man was a big man in the workshop, and he could influence the hiring of personnel. Then, Qin Bing secretly looked at the big man in front of him, and then he was disappointed.
The old man's gray hair was curled up in a ball, loosely held in place by a wooden hairpin, and his clothes, so filthy that they could almost be used as rags, were covered with holes in the flames, and if the old man had a broken bowl, he would have been a standard beggar.
"It's a beggar among beggars!" Teacher Cang added.
But in the next moment, Qin Bing didn't think so. Because the old man pointed and slashed a few times in the air, Qin Bing didn't even see the old man's movements clearly, he saw a flash of light, and a flame appeared out of thin air. The dagger was engulfed in flames, and after a few blinks, the flames disappeared and the dagger reappeared in sight. The old man was able to draw talismans out of thin air, and he was faster and more skilled in drawing talismans than he was doing.
At this time, the dagger completely changed, the muddy yellow appearance showed a deep blue-black, the fleeting flame just now burned it like a brick, full of texture, with that peculiar shape, the dagger actually exuded a faint murderous aura.
The old man reached out and grasped the handle of the dagger, and made a few slashing and stabbing movements, and then suddenly stopped, his eyes closed, as if thinking about something. After more than ten seconds, the old man slowly opened his eyes, with an excited look on his face.
"Good! Good! Great stuff! The old man said three good words in a row, and then the dagger "grabbed" and pierced the stone on the Qin soldier's table, the stone shattered in response, and the old man waved his hand again, and the wooden stake was split in half by the dagger. Then the old man laughed with his dagger and floated away.
Qin Bing looked at the little official in a daze, "Who is this old man?" Also, how are my grades calculated? ”
When the little official looked at Qin Bing, his face showed an envy that could not be concealed, he put away his arrogance and arrogance, and said humbly: "That master said that you were hired. Moreover, only if you have completed all the questions, who can be the first but you? ”
At the same time, the little official secretly said in his heart: Someone has greeted and taken care of this Qin soldier twice in a row, and one of them is still the master, and the backstage is definitely not ordinarily hard. And the master has hired him, and I will choose someone else to be the first after my brain is pumped.
