Chapter 54: The Mysterious Middle-Aged Man
July, Peach Blossom Island.
It's been a month since Ling Chi came back, and during this time, business on Peach Blossom Island has been as cold as ever. With Li Tang's unification of most of the north and northwest, the separatist forces in the south were afraid, and many began to cut back on food and clothing and prepare for war in order to deal with Li Tang's southern expedition. Affected by this, the business of Peach Blossom Island is not getting worse day by day.
Ling Chi doesn't care, anyway, after Datang dominates the world and begins to develop the people's livelihood economy, there will be more and more rich people, and the business of Peach Blossom Island will only be better than before.
Now Ling Chi is most concerned about the practice of spells, he has practiced those recipes to 100% proficiency, and the proficiency of those martial arts moves is basically full, but the spells are basically hovering between level 1~2, and only the fire spells have reached level 5, which is a big comfort.
Spells, like martial arts, are the more difficult to improve the later you go. And after cultivating for a long time, he found that the spells before level 5 were not more powerful than martial arts, but when the fire spells were cultivated to level 5, it reflected its magic.
The level 5 fire spell already has a trace of spirituality, for example, he can now condense a firebird to attack the enemy, and this firebird has the ability to automatically identify and attack the enemy.
At that time, Ling Chi was shocked, because if the fire spell could automatically identify and attack the enemy, then he only needed to consume spiritual power, and he didn't need to do it himself.
It's really a manual car to an autonomous one, and it's so cool.
With the help of the acceleration of the Kitchen God Space, Ling Chi's rapid improvement was understandable, but Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiufang had only cultivated for two years, but they had cultivated their respective two systems of spells to level 3, which surprised Ling Chi.
This cultivation speed is too fast, right!?
He had been cultivating for decades before he had cultivated the fire spell with the fire spirit root to level 5, and the two of them had only cultivated for two years before they had cultivated their respective spirit root spells to level 3, and there must be something wrong with this.
"Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiufang's innate spirit roots are of a higher level, and their cultivation speed is twice that of ordinary spirit roots."
After listening to the explanation of the system, he understood.
His fire spirit root was raised by his stepmother, while Shi Qingxuan and Shang Xiufang's spirit roots were born by their own mother, and the two are fundamentally different. In addition, he has too many spells to learn, and he has to practice recipes and learn various skills, even if he has a tenfold bonus of the kitchen god space, he will not have much more time to cultivate than the two girls.
If he could concentrate on practicing fire-based spells in the Kitchen God Space for a hundred years, he might be able to practice fire-type spells to the full level.
But of course this is impossible, it is already good to be able to practice to level 5, and since the little dragon girl, he has been accustomed to the fact that his talent is inferior to others and he can't beat his daughter-in-law.
The higher Shi Qingxuan's and Shang Xiufang's talents, the better, anyway, in the end, they are all his wings.
In terms of cultivation, Ling Chi didn't have any sense of urgency, and the Great Sui Book Collection, which was emptied a few years ago, had a lot of wonderful content, and he preferred to make a pot of tea when he had nothing to do, lie on the recliner and read a book, which was really a great enjoyment in life.
Today's weather is very good, the sun is making people drowsy, and there are few guests on Peach Blossom Island to eat, Ling Chi moved a recliner to the gazebo to enjoy the coolness, the tea has been brewed, lay down on the chaise longue, took out a book from the space, and read it comfortably.
The book he read is called "Luban Secret Book", which records some mechanisms and construction technology, in his eyes, even if it is placed in modern times, it is a very advanced technology, not only has high requirements for brain ability, but also has higher requirements for hands-on ability, but fortunately it is not very difficult for him, probably simulating it in his mind, he can make corresponding tools.
"Huh?" Ling Chi suddenly saw a good article.
[Wooden kite]: With a wooden kite, it can not fly for three days and three nights.
Ling Chi sat up, and then carefully looked at the parts and structural drawings for making wooden kites recorded on the book, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. The production method of this wooden kite is complicated, and the requirements for the material are very high, many parts are specially marked in the selection of materials, such as what hemlock tree to use, copper oil wood, etc., some Ling Chi has heard of it, and some have not heard of it, which shows that there are tree species in this world that are not found in other worlds.
However, it takes too much time to make this thing, it takes almost half a year for ordinary people to make it, and even if it is Ling Chi himself, it is estimated that it will take a month to make it.
It's not that he is slow, but that many parts need to be processed in batches for a long time after they are made, not to mention anything else, just talking about drying, which has to be repeated five times, just one month before and after.
Unless Ling Chi does a lot at once, it will take a month to do just one.
The detailed production method is stated, but there is no description of the flight speed of the wooden kite. Moreover, many types of wood have only one name, no place of origin, and no description of the appearance, which invisibly increases the difficulty of making wooden kites.
Ling Chi thought for a moment and planned to try to be an 'iron kite'.
As soon as he said it, Ling Chi immediately entered the farm and discussed with Pu Heng and Ou Yu about making iron kites.
"I don't want there to be a wooden kite in the world, I always thought it was a legend." Pu Heng had also heard the story of Luban's wooden kite in the Yitian world, but the story is a story after all, no one will take it seriously, I didn't expect that in this world, there is really such a thing, but the materials are difficult to find, and it is troublesome to make, no wonder this thing will be lost.
"Replace the wood ...... with steel" Ou Yu thought thoughtfully: "The material is different, even if it is made, the effect cannot be guaranteed to be the same as that of a wooden kite, does Childe really want to do it?" ”
"Give it a try!" Ling Chi said: "You first build the parts I need, and I will assemble them myself." ”
Ou Yu nodded, since Ling Chi had made a decision, he just had to obey the order.
……
When Pu Heng and Ou Yu were building parts on the farm, on this day, a long-lost guest came to Peach Blossom Island.
"Huh?" When the maid in charge of welcoming the guests saw this person's appearance, she said in surprise: "It's Mr. Wang?" ”
This is a middle-aged man, dressed in brocade, with black hair and gray temples, but his appearance and bearing are the best choice, and the maid's heart is beating a little faster when she sees it.
"Exactly." The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ling is on the island?" ”
"Yes." The maid hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang come with me." ”
"I'm tired." The middle-aged man hugged his fists and thanked him, making the maid wave her hand again and again in a little panic.
Masters!
……
Huxin Pavilion, Ling Chi, who got the news, hurried over, and when he saw the appearance of the middle-aged man sitting in Huxin Pavilion, he immediately laughed: "Brother Wang, it's been a long time!" ”
The middle-aged man in brocade looked at Ling Chi and smiled slightly: "Brother Ling, don't come to harm?" ”
"Unharmed." Ling Chi walked quickly to the middle-aged man in brocade, and put his hands on his arm: "Brother Wang, where have you been all these years, let the little brother be easy to find!" ”
"Hehe, the foolish brother loves to travel all over the world, and he has no fixed place to live, how can Brother Ling find it!" The middle-aged man in brocade smiled slightly: "It's Brother Ling, after so many years, it hasn't changed at all." ”
"Brother Wang, hasn't there been any change!" Ling Chi said with a smile: "Brother Wang came this time, but it made Peach Blossom Island shine. Brother Wang waited, the dish was cooking, and it came up immediately. ”
The middle-aged man in brocade said with a smile: "Why, can't I order food yet?" ”
"Absolutely." Ling Chi immediately handed him the menu: "Brother Wang, whatever you want to eat, just order." The younger brother will give you a ninety-fifty discount. ”
The middle-aged man in brocade chuckled: "It's really not easy to make Brother Ling discount, but isn't the ninety-fifty discount too little?" ”
"Less! Then don't eat it, let's talk about quyi. ”
......The middle-aged man in brocade couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother Ling is still as childlike as back then." ”
This is a nice thing to say, but in fact, it is to scold him for not growing up, like a child.
"Brother Wang is still slamming the door as always." Ling Chi sneered at each other without giving in.
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, then hugged each other and slapped each other on the back.
"Brother Wang hasn't been here for many years, and my little brother misses it very much!" Ling Chi smiled.
"Brother Fool also misses the time when he exchanged operatic arts with Brother Ling." The middle-aged man in brocade clothes smiled slightly: "I heard that Brother Ling invited Shi Qingxuan, the master of Xiao Yi, and Shang Xiufang, the first talented woman in the world, to Peach Blossom Island, I don't know if it's true?" ”
"I didn't expect Brother Wang to hear the news." Ling Chi was a little surprised, and didn't think much about it, and said: "Yes, they are all on the island, and we have become brothers and sisters, exchanging operas, singing and dancing from time to time, but they are much happier than Brother Wang." ”
"I didn't expect Brother Ling to become brother and sister with the two of them, it's really gratifying." The middle-aged man in brocade was quite amazed: "It makes the foolish brother so envious." ”
"Haha, Brother Wang doesn't have to be like this, if Brother Wang wants to communicate with my two righteous sisters, I'll call them over now." Ling Chi said with a smile.
"No need." The middle-aged man in brocade shook his head and said, "The foolish brother is a nobody, and he really doesn't dare to stain the eyes of the two of you." Brother Ling still served the food quickly, and it was the right thing to let the foolish brother fill his belly. ”
"Brother Wang is too modest, the wine and food are being prepared, and they will be ready soon." Turning his head to look at it, he smiled: "Look, this is not coming." ”
……
This middle-aged man in brocade clothes is the person who exchanged piano and flute skills with Ling Chi in the Huxin Pavilion back then, and he is also the person who is regarded as a bosom friend by Ling Chi. But this person's martial arts are extremely strong, Ling Chi came up with a top-notch blue recipe at the beginning, but he couldn't conquer his stomach, so he still doesn't know the name of the middle-aged man, and can only be called Brother Wang.
Today, too, although a large table full of blue recipes was made, the middle-aged man in brocade still did not get hit, but because he had been reunited for a long time, he drank a few more glasses, and soon he was too strong to drink, and decided to stay overnight on Peach Blossom Island.
Ling Chi arranged a guest room for the middle-aged man and withdrew.
After that, there was nothing else to do, until after nightfall, Ling Chi entered the farm and continued to study the creation and assembly of the 'Iron Kite' with Pu Heng and Ou Yu.
As the night wore on, and everyone had fallen asleep, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and jumped out of the window like a ghost, without making the slightest sound.
