Today.

We were going to the steel mill as planned because we rented a studio yesterday.

Closing the studio door, I could hear the whispers of workers outside.

But I didn't care, and I didn't listen carefully, probably all kinds of speculation and nonsense.

"They roughly made me what I needed, and although it wasn't the best, it was barely enough."

Lu Ban said as he took the metal blocks of various shapes on the workbench and rubbed them in his hands.

How long will this take?

I was a little reluctant not to go, Lu Ban came once, and I wasted two days here.

Time flies, one morning passes, and when it is almost noon, he wakes me up from sleepiness.

"It's done, let's go, get those clear stones (glass) and complete the assembly."

He didn't use the cutting and grinding machines that were in working condition the whole time, and in his words, the machines were too clumsy to make things that would satisfy him.

He was quite satisfied with the finished product of the glass factory, and the easy-to-fire glass, coupled with the hand-fired by skilled veteran employees, and sufficient remuneration, it was not a problem to get the finished product the next day.

Back at the residence, the neighbor's aunt was pointing outside my collapsed door.

When he saw me coming, he stepped forward.

"Young man? Has your house been robbed? The door is gone. ”

Forehead.. Can I say that I have an uncle who can't get used to it and will tear it down?

"No, no, I was just going to change the door."

Hurry up and explain, don't underestimate the rumor-mongering ability of the aunts, otherwise I don't know what version it will turn into in the end.

"Oh, that's it, then you have to make up for it quickly, this thief, it's a lot, Sister Li's house in Unit 4 a few days ago..."

Hurry up, this aunt is about to activate her skills.

When I got home, Lu Ban rushed into the guest room, and I used the newly bought canvas to cover the broken door and walls from the outside, I don't know what kind of scene Lu Ban was like when he installed the door for me, but it was better not to let people see it.

Within ten minutes, Lu Ban came out with the drawings.

"Do you have anything unique about you? It is best to be unique and have a hard texture. ”

Luban asked me.

Hearing this, I thought about it and put the scalpel and ring on the table.

Lu Ban picked them up and looked at them one by one.

"This isn't ordinary metal, you kid has an adventure?"

I didn't know how to answer, so I just nodded stupidly.

Lu Ban thought for a while.

"Give birth to it, I'll see."

After saying that, throw the ring to me.

I put it on, as he willed, activated.

The palms of the hands, the backs of the hands, up to the entire arm, were wrapped in asphalt.

Lu Ban nodded and walked towards the broken door.

Then, there was another unbelievable performance, as if the best special effects had been added.

Dense pieces of wood and steel of various shapes flew out of Lu Ban's body, all polished to a shiny, and I didn't see a nail, a screw, or even an adhesive.

The various materials are interlocked and assembled as if they had been trained countless times, without any human effort, they are like beating elves, going to their own place.

"Boy, there's another one for this ring, right?"

Luban still has time to chat?

"Yes, in my girlfriend's hands."

"Since it's Madame, it's no problem. Give me the ring and the little knife on the table. ”

I took off the ring, picked up the three scalpels on the table and handed them to him, and he took them and threw them on the door that was still being assembled automatically.

The speed of the material is getting faster and faster, and I am already dazzled, and I am glad that I have covered it with a canvas, otherwise I am afraid that it will be in the news.

The last part was assembled, and a door that I couldn't describe appeared, a piece of wood and metal that could be seen to be made up, but with no gaps in between.

There was a sound of gears, like a sleeping robot waking up.

The door opened, and though it was a little bigger than my previous one, it wasn't too big.

The single-leaf opening, thicker than brick glass, looks like decoration.

The crisp sound of rings and scalpels falling brought me back to my senses.

"Come out with me."

I picked up the fallen ring and put it on, and followed Luban out of the house.

He pulled the door shut.

"I've studied the doors of your time, and try to make them as similar as possible, this is the doorknob, and you can't open it if you break it at will."

The two of us stood outside the new door.

"How do you open that?"

He didn't give me the key, and I tried to break the doorknob, but it didn't move, and it gave me the feeling that it was growing on it.

"You give birth to the ring again."

Don't?

I tried it immediately, with ease, and by the time my palm touched the door, it was already open.

"This is the key?"

I asked, looking at my hand.

"Yes, in addition to these two rings, there are also these three small short knives, but their functions are not the same as the rings, and these three small short knives can activate another ability of this door."

Lu Ban touched the door he had made and explained to me.

"What ability?" I asked curiously.

"Exorcise evil spirits and avoid evil."

What do you mean? And good luck? I looked confused.

"This wood is born with an aura that has been concealed and deteriorated by me, and once you insert this little short knife into these three holes, that aura will come out and deal a fatal blow at a certain distance outside the door."

Hiss... Do you want to be so ruthless?

But it's right to think about it, Lu Ban was an inventor during the Warring States Period, and he was thinking about how to kill the enemy.

"Can you do harm to evil spirits?"

I asked, I'm not afraid of people, the point is that the soul body that can pass through the wall is the most dangerous.

"Evil spirits are the key to this door, why should mere mortals bother to change the door, just make a lock cylinder to ensure that no one can break it, see this keyhole? This is where the confusion goes, but anything that gets in will be cut by the hacksaw inside, which is anti-human. And evil spirits, ordinary doors don't necessarily stop it, you come to see this. ”

Luban took me out again and closed the door.

I waited for his introduction.

"In the process of polishing these materials, I added some charcoal from lightning strikes, and with this, the soul body cannot penetrate, including me."

Lu Ban patted the door panel and told me.

What?

"Including you?"

I was stunned, I could prevent an old ghost like Lu Ban, and the ordinary evil spirit could sit back and relax.

"But I still have a hundred ways to break the door."

Forehead... Well, you're awesome.

"I'll just use excess materials to fix the rest of the walls, and the color of the wood, metal and brick should match your so-called aesthetic."

He pointed to the broken place near the original door frame, the yellow of the wood, the silver white of the metal, and the gray white of the brick, forming a unique beauty.

"It's just amazing."

I really admire it, whether it is the time, the materials, or the practicality and function.

"It's a pity that the materials are not good enough, otherwise the old man can show you what real craftsmanship is."

Lu Ban's ability is beyond doubt, and I admire and admire this kind of developer in a certain industry.

"Thank you."

I bow deeply, Lu Ban, the ancestor of craftsmen, because my small request has helped me to make a craft that is unparalleled in our time.
