Chapter 391, "The Mad Craftsman"
The name "Crazy Craftsman" has two meanings for Mi Xuan, those who respect him regard him as a modern Mohist master, believing him to be the best Mohist craftsman in the world, while those who look down on him think he is just a madman, so the name "Mad Craftsman" represents different meanings in the eyes of different people.
But Mi Xuan doesn't care about his title at all, he lives in this world in his own way, and his style of acting even seems a little crazy in the eyes of many normal people, which is incompatible with this society.
Master Sonomoto has known Mi Xuan for decades, and he is also one of the few people who can chat with Mi Xuan and be called a friend by Mi Xuan, Rao is so, and he is not willing to have too much contact with Mi Xuan, because this guy is too elusive.
The strange behavior of the "mad craftsman" has left many incredible legends in the circle, the most famous of which is left when he was young, it is said that there was once a high-level inner door of a certain big clan looking for Mi Xuan to build a customized machine weapon, Mi Xuan disagreed, the other party was very sincere to invite again and again, and promised many benefits and finally invited Mi Xuan to help.
The two parties agreed to deliver the goods in a few days, and when it was time to deliver the goods, the customer happily came to pick up the goods, but saw Mi Xuan sitting on a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron smoking, and the customer had a very bad premonition at that time, so he stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Mi Xuan, where is my customized machine?" ”
Mi Xuan pointed to the pile of scrap metal under his ass and said, "This is it." ”
The customer was dumbfounded, thinking that Mi Xuan was joking, and after many inquiries, it was determined that the pile under his ass was the so-called customized version of the machine soldiers, and the customer asked angrily on the spot: "You took my deposit, and I have repeatedly asked you to make a good machine weapon, but now what is this you give me, a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron?" ”
The customer was angry, but he didn't expect Mi Xuan to get angry, and shouted at the customer: "What are you yelling at, do I owe you anything, just pay you the deposit, don't fart me here, hurry up." ”
The customer's face turned pale with anger, and he was about to send someone to kill Mi Xuan on the spot, but in the end he was stopped by many people in the circle who rushed over, and finally this person took back the deposit and left.
After this incident spread in the circle, people said that Mi Xuan was a madman, holding a bunch of broken copper and iron to the customer as a treasure, but he was scolded by the customer for being a bloody dog.
Mi Xuan's business has not been good over the years, this guy doesn't understand the way of spirit, he is just an excellent craftsman, so the money is getting less and less, and his reputation is not very good, so his life is relatively poor.
Master Yuanben called Mi Xuan, at first Mi Xuan on the other side of the phone was a hundred unwilling, and finally Master Yuanben reluctantly said the Qiyao Strange Stone in Tang Yao's hand, without thinking that Mi Xuan immediately agreed.
"Master, when will he arrive, it's almost dark." Tang Yao asked after glancing at the sky that had already entered dusk, he was greeting the approaching "mad craftsman" Mi Xuan at the gate of the botanical garden with Master Yuanben and others.
Master Sonomoto said, "It's almost there, just now I was talking to him on the phone, and he said it's almost there." ”
As he was talking, a tricycle with a motor slowly drove over at the intersection in front of him, and on the car was a man in shabby blue overalls, the tricycle stopped in front of the two, the man stretched his body after landing on the ground, and Master Yuanmoto patted Tang Yao's shoulder and said, "Here, let's go over." ”
Tang Yao looked at the "crazy craftsman" Mi Xuan in front of him, the blue overalls on his body looked more than ten years old, with patches in many places, and a line of small words embroidered on the pocket of his jacket: The staff of a certain factory.
He wears a big helmet on his head, usually people will wear helmets when driving battery cars or this kind of tricycle, but he will not wear a particularly exaggerated motorcycle helmet like him, this helmet is full of sharp rivets, this helmet is quite individual, but it does not match the blue overalls on his body.
In addition, he was wearing rubber-soled shoes on his feet, and his shoes were also very torn, and when he looked at the tricycle, there seemed to be a lot of things large and small, but they were all covered tightly with black raincloth.
In general, the "crazy craftsman" Mi Xuan's predecessor in front of him is like an old man shuttling through the streets and alleys to collect scraps, and Tang Yao felt that if he was so poor again, he was afraid that after he got old, he would be like Mi Xuan's predecessor in front of him.
Master Sonomoto smiled and said, "Old friend, it's been a long time. ”
Mi Xuan took off the helmet on his head and revealed his true face, his cheeks were thin and his skin was dark, he had two mustaches, and his eyes were bright, he was not tall, maybe a little more than one meter six, but he gave people a strong momentum.
"Where's the stuff?" Mi Xuan directly ignored Master Sonomoto's greeting and asked.
"What's that?" Tang Yao asked beside him, and then realized that he seemed to have forgotten the proper etiquette, so he hurriedly added, "Hello senior, I'm Tang Yao." ”
"It turned out to be you, that kid who had a lot of shit luck, so the four pieces of Qiyao Strange Stone and the imitation version of the ring are all in your hands, take them out and show me." He said anxiously, and even rushed directly to Tang Yao regardless of his image, asking Tang Yao to ask for a broken ring.
Tang Yao glanced at Master Yuanben awkwardly, and Master Yuanben smiled and said, "Don't worry, old man, let's go back to the residence first." ”
Mi Xuan was obviously a little unhappy, but he still nodded, and then stepped back on his tricycle, and solemnly put on the motorcycle helmet, Tang Yao reminded beside him: "The dormitory we live in is not far from here, you don't need to wear a helmet." ”
"My head is more important than any treasure in this world, so I must protect it, stop talking nonsense, and show me the way."
In the dormitory, the old army also showed enough respect for the arrival of the "crazy craftsman" Mi Xuan, and after a few people sat down in the living room, Mi Xuan spoke again: "What about the Qiyao Strange Stone, what about the ring, hurry up and take it out." ”
Tang Yao took out the broken ring holder at this time, Mi Xuan almost snatched it from Tang Yao's hand, Tang Yao was suddenly a little unhappy and felt that the senior in front of him was too rude, he glanced at Master Yuanmoto, who made a gesture to him to signal him not to be impatient.
Old man Mi Xuan took the broken ring holder and immediately placed it on the table carefully, at this time Tang Yao noticed that he had put on gloves, and then also put on a magnifying glass and a headlamp, and then looked intently at the broken ring holder and the four Qiyao strange stones inlaid on it.
"It's incredible, I've always wanted to see and study the seven obsidian stones with my own eyes, and finally got what I wanted, but why are there only four of them, and the other three, the golden obsidian, the obsidian, and the most important obsidian, take them out." Old man Mi Xuan shouted.
Master Sonomoto smiled and said, "We only have four pieces, all in front of you." ”
"Then you don't go out to find it, the reason why Qiyao Tiangong is called Qiyao is that the seven Qiyao strange stones must be put together to exert their maximum power, you have to find them back quickly." Mi Xuan doesn't look like a senior who has entered old age at all, but more like a somewhat arrogant child.
"Senior, we came to you this time to ask for something, can you listen to us first?" The old army on the side could only say politely in the face of the old man Mi Xuan.
Old man Mi Xuan finally reluctantly returned the broken ring in his hand to Tang Yao, and then asked: "What are you looking for me to do, do you want me to build an agency martial arts, then it's better to save it, I don't build an agency martial arts for people who don't have an eye, this kid surnamed Tang belongs to the category of those who don't have an eye in my opinion." ”
This is straightforward enough, Tang Yao smiled bitterly beside him and said, "Senior, we invited you not to build a machine weapon, but to ask you for a favor......
At that moment, Tang Yao talked about the situation of Shen Tuya in the obsidian stone, and proposed to learn the linkage method of the two Qiyao strange stones, Mi Xuan did not interject, and after listening patiently, he lowered his head and thought about it and said: "If it is only the linkage of two Qiyao strange stones, it is not difficult, even if there is a fierce energy in the obsidian, it is not a big problem, and it is not impossible to rescue the ancient spirit named Shen Tuya......"
His words made Tang Yao see hope, and Tang Yao asked with a look of hope, "Then can you teach me?" ”
Mi Xuan raised his head and looked at Tang Yao and asked indifferently, "But why should I teach you?" ”
