Hearing the sound of slapping, the boss of Lan Jizhai let out a long sigh of relief.

He bowed down to open the door, and soon three merfolk entered. The leader is a thin young man, with a clear and handsome appearance, but unfortunately his face is pale without a trace of blood, and there is a hint of melancholy between his eyebrows. The most impressive thing is that his hair and eyebrows are pure white color, and there is not a single impurity missing. The skin of his exposed hands was white and translucent, and the blue blood vessels were faintly visible, almost like the hidden blue glaze of Jingdezhen - he should have severe albinism.

The two people behind were both powerful young men, with green scalps, and followed closely behind the young man. As soon as they entered, the two burly bodies immediately blocked the door.

As soon as the young man entered the house, he first looked at the boss of Lan Jizhai: "Have you confirmed it with your own eyes?" ”

The boss of Lan Jizhai hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, I witnessed it with my own eyes just now, it is indeed 'Feiqiao Dengxian'." ”

The young man smiled reservedly and turned his head to look at Silversmith Yin: "Senior Yin, hello." The younger generation's surname is Liu, and his name is Liu Chengxuan. ”

Yin's silversmith was inexplicable, so he had to say nothing.

Liu Chengqian found a chair and sat down, and said slowly: "The younger generation heard that the show in baked porcelain is divided into three schools: Shandong, Henan, and Hebei. Shandong leather drill, Henan bow drill, Hebei stone drill, each has its own unique skills. If I know it well, this should be the unique method of the Hebei faction - are you right? ”

Yin Yinjiang had a heart attack, but in the face of this albino patient with a strange background, he couldn't say a word. Liu Chengqian didn't intend to hear him answer, and continued to look at himself and said: "The hand of 'Flying Bridge Ascending Immortal' is too ingenious, and it has the ability to make up for the heavenly work, so it is easy to be jealous of heaven and should not be used lightly." There are only a few people who are really lucky enough to see it. Today's younger generation is fortunate to have the right time to meet him, what a blessing. ”

Silversmith Yin and I raised our eyebrows at the same time and looked at the boss of Lan Jizhai. It turns out that this is his real purpose! That Cong bottle is also deliberately treated into such a collapse, and it can't be repaired if it is not for the "Flying Bridge Dengxian", so as to lead to a unique job.

After making trouble for a long time, this boss is not greedy for Yin's silversmith's porcelain, but is testing the identity of this albino patient!

Liu Chengqian continued: "The Hebei faction was originally mixed in the capital, and it was the Beijing faction with the most prominent status of the three factions. It's a pity that the people are not prosperous, and they gradually declined in the late Qing Dynasty. The only bit of blood, merged into the Mingyan plum blossom, this unique skill has also been introduced into the Xuanzi Gate in the five veins, and has become a unique craft of the medicine family - who are you from the medicine family? ”

He paused deliberately, his eyes gentle, and a little childlike curiosity. But the meaning of the words shocked me incomparably.

My heart was suddenly grasped by an invisible hand. This...... Why did you get involved in the five veins all of a sudden? I looked at Silversmith Yin in horror, could it be that this old guy who was not good-looking turned out to be a fellow of the same clan who was not good at medicine?

Faced with the questioning, Silversmith Yin replied lightly: "I don't know what you are talking about. ”

Liu Chengqian smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's okay, don't mention those old rotten grains." The important thing is that you have this skill, and that's enough. I think that many traditional crafts in our country are about to be lost, and there must be a way to preserve them. You go back with me and discuss with the younger generations how to preserve these national treasures. ”

The words are high-sounding, but the tone is not refusal.

Silversmith Yin sensed the other party's malice, and reached out to grab the blowtorch, but the bodyguard behind Liu Chengqian was quick-eyed, flew forward, and grabbed the nozzle. The nozzle was made of brass, and with a "click", it was easily broken by him as easily as he pouted his chopsticks. Silversmith Yin took a few steps back, the corners of his mouth began to tremble, he finally understood that these guys would never hesitate to use violence in order to achieve their goals today.

As soon as he thought of this, Silversmith Yin immediately coaxed. Not at the workbench, he's just a cowardly old man after all. Liu Chengqian looked at me again, and his attitude was still very kind: "This gentleman, although you and I have never known each other in our lives, but meeting is fate, why don't we go to a small place to sit together?" ”

This is the rhythm of the mouth, right? I thought to myself, and began to scan the room, wondering how to get out. Liu Chengqian saw my eyes flickering, knowing that I still had a fluke mentality, and persuaded bitterly: "'The matter of 'flying bridge ascending to immortals' is very important and cannot be passed on." Even if you swear, I'm not at ease. So today anyway, you're going to have to go back with me. You don't have to think in vain. ”

Seeing that I was silent, the boss of Lan Jizhai hurriedly looked at the young man flatteringly, with a flattering expression. Liu Chengqian flicked his fingers: "Our fine willow camp has always been true to our words." Your account will be settled. The boss of Lan Jizhai thanked him again and again, but his eyes drifted to the yellow pear cabinet. Liu Chengqian knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Take it without telling him, it's not a gentleman's doing." After Mr. Yin leaves, you have to take care of this shop for him. ”

The boss of Lan Jizhai was overjoyed, Yin silversmith would definitely not be able to come back this time, let him see the shop, wouldn't it mean that the porcelain collected in the shop was all his. If he hadn't coveted these bargains, he wouldn't have condescended to deal with an old silversmith.

I was on the sidelines, my eyes widening. Liu Chengxuan's words set off huge waves in my heart.

Willow Camp, Willow Camp, isn't this the medicine or the old courtiers who told me to watch out for it?!

When I thought about it carefully, the relationship between the front and back suddenly became smooth. Xiliuying was entrusted by the old court to come to Shaoxing to find the successor of 'Feiqiao Dengxian'. Liu Chengqian found Yin's silversmith here, and was not sure whether he would be able to do this trick, so he didn't startle the snake, but asked the local antique shop owner to test Yin's silversmith under the pretext of repairing porcelain. Once Silversmith Yin reveals this unique skill, the fine willow camp will come forward to tie people up.

These people are really cautious and ruthless, and they are not leaking from front to back.

Yao Otherwise, he obviously knew about Xiliuying's actions in Shaoxing, and it was inconvenient to tell me clearly, so he gave me a vague hint.

Originally, I didn't know why the medicine would have brought me to Shaoxing, but after seeing that Liu Chengxuan's style, I immediately understood. The medicine is the most annoying, it is people like Liu Chengxuan. Although I don't know what the division of labor between the two is under Lao Chaofeng, the relationship between the two will never be good, and they are still competitors.

Otherwise, the medicine is going to let me go to the bureau of Liu Chengqi.

It's a pity, now instead of being able to disrupt the situation, I can't protect myself, and I'm directly blocked in the house. Liu Chengqian doesn't know my identity for the time being, but when I bring it back to check, I will soon know that I am a wish of the white character door. The two great credits were won by him alone, otherwise this would be a loss...... Hey, no, it's stealing chickens and rice.

I was pondering, Liu Chengqian said clearly: "Why don't you help Teacher Yin and this teacher go out quickly?" Two of his men immediately walked towards the two of us.

"Wait." I suddenly drank.

"You said, if you beg for mercy, forget it, everyone is very busy." Liu Chengqi said.

"Since you invited me to be a guest, I might as well tell me the origin." I quietly moved my steps while buying time.

Liu Chengqian smiled: "There are some things, I still don't know if it will be better, don't add trouble to yourself." With that, he waved his finger. The two men quickened their pace.

I suddenly rushed forward, trying to pick up the barrel of the spray gun that I had just broken. The other party is a practitioner, and he has long seen my castration, raised his thigh, first blocked the way, and then swept towards me with one arm horizontally. I hurriedly raised my elbow to resist, and with a "bang", it felt like colliding with an iron pillar, half of my arm was numb, and the whole person fell in the opposite direction.

The guy tested that I didn't have enough kung fu, so I didn't move so quickly. He smiled as he saw me fall to the ground, and stretched out a huge palm to grab me by the shoulder. Just when his face was only a dozen centimeters away from me, my right hand suddenly picked up something and threw it in his face. The other party was suddenly attacked, let out an earth-shattering scream, and knelt on the ground with a "bang", covering his eyes tightly with his hands.

What I threw out was a pickling basin for silversmith Yin. In order to remove dark spots from the surface of the silverware and improve its shine, silversmiths put the items into an acid washing basin to wash them after completion. So it's a standing fixture. As I noticed just now, they kept staring at the blowtorch, a lethal device, but no one paid attention to the pickling basin that was thrown aside.

You must know that the pickling solution is generally made of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, and none of the ingredients is good at stubble. Washing for a short time can destroy the oxide layer of silverware, and if washing for a long time, the silverware will be corroded and blackened. You think, silverware can't stop pickling, let alone human faces?

The other person was stunned for a moment when he saw his companion being attacked, and let go of Yin's silversmith. I took the opportunity to pick up another pot and threw it at him. When the man saw the tragic situation of his companion, he was so frightened that he dared to resist, and jumped out of the door like a rabbit, and did not forget to drag Liu Chengqian out. As a result, this pot of things was directly splashed on the head of the boss of Lan Jizhai.

The boss of Lan Jizhai was frightened, and sat down on the ground with his buttocks, screaming exaggeratedly, and a cloudy yellow liquid quickly expanded the area...... He waited for a long time to realize that nothing had happened except that his hair was a little wet.

After pickling, the silverware should be washed with clean water to wash off the acid. So next to the pickling basin, there is also a basin of clean water. The second time I lost it, it was that. Think about it, how can a silversmith's house have so many sulfuric acid basins, and they are not making chemical weapons.

Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, I grabbed Silversmith Yin and pushed open the door of the back room and dodged in. Behind is a small courtyard with a short corridor that connects to a small wing at the end.

"Are there any other exits here?" I asked Yin, the silversmith. There are so many secrets in this guy that it's impossible for him not to leave himself a way back.

Silversmith Yin did not answer. He quickened his pace and rushed into the courtyard. The yard was unattended, except for a half-withered old tree and a few weeds. He walked to the wall, crouched down and pulled a few times, and removed a barren rock crawling with vines, and a dog hole appeared under the wall. The dog hole is half-connected to the wall base and can accommodate an adult to crawl in and out.

So far, I don't care about face. Silversmith Yin and I climbed out of the cave in turn, and when we reached the outside of the wall, we saw that we were already on the verge of the river. Silversmith Yin dragged the barren stone back to the entrance of the cave to block it, and then crawled out.

In order to prevent the river from soaking the foundation of the wall, there will be a small gap between the riverside courtyard wall and the river bank. Silversmith Yin and I pressed our backs against the wall, barely able to stand on our feet. I heard footsteps in the courtyard, then the sound of banging on the wooden door of the wing, and unwilling shouting and searching.

When I heard Liu Chengxuan's voice, it was still so gentle and calm, and it didn't seem to be in a bad mood because the cooked duck flew.

"Sherlock Holmes said that if you eliminate all impossibilities, the rest is the answer. If there is no wing, then it can only be over the wall. Go and see if there is a hole in the corner. ”

I glanced at Yin Silversmith, meaning what to do, Yin Silversmith pointed to the surface of the water and made a stroke.

What else can I do? Youbei!

The two of us didn't bother to take off our clothes, and slowly lowered ourselves into the water, trying not to make any noise. Fortunately, the water in this small river is not deep, and it is estimated to be about two meters, which is not difficult at all for me, a bear child who dared to jump into the North Sea at the age of eight.

Silversmith Yin took the lead, and I followed. We waved our arms quietly and swam slowly forward. The water temperature is very comfortable, but occasionally there will be domestic garbage floating on the surface of the water floating by, which is a little disgusting. We swam for a while, and under the surprised gaze of passers-by, we climbed up a small step to wash clothes. As soon as I looked up, I saw that the Bazi Bridge happened to be not far away.

This is the case in the water town, from the Bazi Bridge to Yin's silversmith's house, you have to walk around for a long time, if you go out into the water, in fact, the straight-line distance is not far. There are many residents in this area, and there is a police station nearby, even if Liu Chengqian and them chase after them, they don't dare to do it.

Should...... Don't dare to do it, right?

I was suddenly less convinced.

These guys have a different temperament from the enemies I have been in contact with before. If you insist on analogy, those people before are all little hooligans, who will use their knives to see blood when they are ruthless, but their skills stop there, and Liu Chengxuan's subordinates are professional killers, and they don't do it easily, but they are fatal when they move.

The two guys had a faint earthy smell on them—a smell peculiar to grave robbers. They walk among the rotten and old wood corpses all year round, and the smell penetrates into the pores, and they can't wash it off no matter how they wash it, and they can smell it when they smell it.

No wonder Yao Otherwise, he told him to beware of the fine willow camp, the tomb robbers are all outlaws, and they are the most murderous. In addition to the counterfeiting gang, Lao Chaofeng's subordinates actually raised such a group of tomb robbers, and his ambition is really not small.

I was pondering when Silversmith Yin suddenly pressed my head with his hand and said urgently, "Get down!" I quickly crouched down and hid next to a bunch of aquatic plants. I asked what was going on, and Silversmith Yin put his index finger to his lips and pointed to the figure-eight bridge.

I cautiously poked my little head out and looked that way. At the top of the Bazi Bridge, Liu Chengqian was smiling and talking to a girl who had a silver ornament on her head, which sparkled in the sun's light. There is only one guard next to Liu Chengxuan, and it is estimated that the other one was sent to the hospital, and the sulfuric acid splash is not a small injury.

Liu Chengqian stood there, chatting with Mo Xuyuan quite warmly, the two talked and laughed, and the little girl giggled from time to time. I am in a hurry, this Liu Chengqian is an extremely dangerous guy, and he must have bad intentions when he approached Mo to make a wish for no reason. Although I don't have a deep relationship with this girl, I can't watch her innocently implicated.

Unfortunately, I was too far away to hear what they were saying. I only saw Liu Chengqian muttering a few words in Mo Xuyuan's ear, and the girl shook her head, but she didn't dodge. Liu Chengqian actually held her delicate little hand, and the two walked down the bridge side by side. Before leaving, Liu Chengqian suddenly stopped and glanced in our direction, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, like a green snake spitting out a letter.

"He must have found Mo Xu's lotus bamboo headdress, thinking that she had something to do with us." I said to Silversmith Yin without complaint. If he had admitted it earlier, there would not have been so many twists and turns.

Silversmith Yin didn't say anything, after he confirmed that Liu Chengqian left, he slowly stood up and pointed to the mouth of the alley: "There is a road over there that can go out, you can go." Then he walked in the other direction. I was furious, grabbed him and yelled, "Those bastards are obviously planning to kidnap Miss Mo and ask where we are going - are you going to stand idly by?" ”

Silversmith Yin said indifferently: "It's none of my business. ”

"That's your neighborhood!"

"She just bought me a few strings of silver jewelry, not a neighbor." Silversmith Yin brushed my hand away, his eyes flickering. He had been like a grandmaster when he was doing baking work just now, and now he had reverted back to the grumpy, timid and obscene silversmith he was afraid of.

"Even if you are a stranger, you can't die without help!"

Silversmith Yin glared at me: "You can also see that those guys are really going to kill people!" He remembered the thrill just now, and still had palpitations. He shrunk his neck and wanted to leave, muttering Shaoxing words that I didn't understand.

My body was in front of me, my eyes stared straight at him, and I said word by word: "I am a descendant of the Wumai Xu family, and my name is Wish." If you are really a child of the medicine family, you should know that if I can save you from Liu Chengxuan, I can also destroy you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Silversmith Yin was like a lightning strike. For him, the threat in the second half of my sentence is not as lethal as the first half. He covered his face in frustration and muttered, "I know, I know...... As soon as the unique skill of 'Flying Bridge Ascending Immortals' is revealed, it will definitely be punished by God, and it will be. I've endured it for decades, but why can't I hold back......"

Silversmith Yin was cornered by me, and as he spoke, his breathing suddenly became heavy, his eyes were red, and he looked sick again. I was unceremonious, and I gave him two big ear scrapes, and he was blinded by me, and those symptoms were also beaten back.

It seems that his mania is also selective, eating hard and not soft. Ask in a good voice, he throws his face and loses his temper with you, and he has to bluff and threaten in a vicious way before he relents. I knew that Silversmith Yin was such a temperament, why did I bother to test it, and I went directly to the door to threaten it, and it was all done.

Now Liu Chengqian doesn't have a chance, but I still have a chance.

Don't push him into a corner, this guy won't speak. I said coldly: "I can let you go on your own, don't make a wish that I will save myself, but you have to tell me everything, otherwise ......"

I splashed people in the face with pickling liquid just now, and he saw it too, and knew that I was also a ruthless character who couldn't be merciless, and he did what he said.

Silversmith Yin was helpless, so he had to make a gesture and ask me to follow him and find a convenient place to talk. He took me around the narrow alleys for a long time, and suddenly it dawned on me that I had come to a big road. I saw that on the right side of the road in front of me, there was actually a church.

The church is painted brown and yellow, has a tall minaret bell tower and a central round window inlaid with stained glass. Looking at the mottled walls of this building, I am afraid that it was built during the Republic of China. Although the building is slightly dilapidated, it has its own restrained and holy atmosphere. On the periphery of the church is a small courtyard with a fountain in the shape of a virgin and a bicycle shed, and bookshelves next to it with pamphlets that can be accessed at will.

Silversmith Yin was familiar with the road and walked directly inside. The church is unlocked, and it opens as soon as it is pushed. I followed behind, a little stunned, I didn't expect this guy to be a Christian?

The furnishings in the church are very standard, with a pulpit in front of it, a cross erected, and about two dozen rows of wooden chairs underneath. There is also a big red couplet with Chinese characteristics hanging on the pillar next to it, which reads: The Lord created all things in heaven and earth, and God loves all people in the world. There was no service at this time, the church was empty, there was no one left.

After Silversmith Yin came in, his demeanor became much calmer, and his manic aura was swept away. He picked a random seat and sat down, and I thought about it and sat down in the row behind him. From my side of the eye, I could see the back of his head, as well as the cross of Jesus in the distance.

Some words, not face-to-face, are easier to say.

I leaned back in my chair, arms folded, and waited quietly. Silversmith Yin bowed his head in front of him, clasped his hands together, and muttered a few words of prayer. Sunlight shone through the stained glass of the dome, soothing his shoulders like an invisible hand of light.

"I'm not a child of the medicine family, I just have some relationship with the medicine family." This is the opening statement of Silversmith Yin.

As mentioned earlier, baked porcelain is divided into three schools, Shandong leather drill, Henan bow drill, Hebei stone drill, behind which are three families: Gu, Fan, and Yin.

Among them, Hebei is the closest to the capital, and the business is also the deepest, which is highly respected by dignitaries and scholars. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Yin family produced a genius named Yin Tian. The Yin family has a unique job of baking porcelain, called "Flying Bridge Dengxian", which is both exquisite and good-looking, and is suitable for performing in front of people. Yin Tian is amazingly talented, extremely talented, and his skills are shocking as soon as he learns them, causing a sensation in the capital. It is said that even if the objects in the palace were broken, he was specially asked to repair them, and even rehearsed in front of Lafayette.

However, although this "flying bridge to ascend to immortals" technique is amazing, there is a taboo. The Yin family has been passed down from ancient times: this method is too subtle, and it is easy to be jealous of heaven if it takes away the merit of creation. Therefore, a person should not use it more than the number of Dayan, and more will cause trouble. There is a cloud in the Book of Changes: "The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is nine out of forty." ”

Yin Tian is too famous in the capital, and he himself intends to invite fame, "Flying Bridge Dengxian" I don't know how many times he has performed in front of people, and he has long exceeded the number of Dayan. Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed his fiftieth birthday, he couldn't afford to get sick, which obviously touched the taboo. Yin Tian regretted that it was too late, knowing that time was running out, and he wanted to pass on this unique skill. But the Yin family has been passed down to this generation, and he has no son, only one daughter, Yin Dan.

After thinking about it, Yin Tian could only let out the rumors, he was willing to use "Flying Bridge Dengxian" as a dowry to recruit the Yin family.

As soon as the news spread, the capital was a sensation. Everyone knows the value of this unique skill, and those who want to be rich are like carp crossing the river. But Yin Tian's daughter Yin Dan resolutely refused, and even forced her to die. Under Yin Tian's repeated questioning, she admitted that she had a personal relationship with someone in the five veins.

When Yin Tian heard this, he was shocked and angry. What is surprising is that the five veins were the Taishan Beidou in the ancient world at that time, and the status of the rivers and lakes was far better than that of a beautiful baking craftsman; What is angry is that because of the prominent status of the five-vein family, they will never allow their children to enter other families. He asked who his daughter was, and Yin Dan confessed that he was the eldest son of the Xuanzimen pharmacist, Yao Shenxing.

The medicine family is in charge of porcelain, and has a close relationship with the Yin family who baked porcelain, and there are many contacts on weekdays. Yao Shenxing and Yin Dan met and fell in love, but they had not yet proposed to the elders in the family.

Yin Tian found the medicine family to discuss, and sure enough, the elders of the medicine family made it clear: "If Yin Dan marries into the medicine family, there will be no problem." It is absolutely impossible to let the medicine be cautious, and that is the successor we are focusing on cultivating. Yin Tian was very embarrassed, if he responded to the medicine family, he was afraid that the technique of "flying bridge ascending immortals" would be lost. As a result, things are deadlocked here.

Yin Tian is tricky now, the Yin family has strict rules, and this unique skill must not be passed on. He advised his daughter to reconsider.

Unexpectedly, Yin Dan was already secretly knotted at this time, and his belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day. If you drag it out any longer, you won't have the face to leave the cabinet again. When Yin Tian heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue. He was desperate, so he had to call Yao Shenxing to the bedside, saying that he had decided to let Yin Dan marry into the medicine family, and he was also willing to pass on the "Flying Bridge Dengxian" to Yao Shenxing - but there was one thing, he forced Yao Shenxing to swear that he would not pass it on to the people of the medicine family privately, and he could only know about it. When Yin Dan gave birth to a second son, he wanted to change his surname to Yin and inherit this craft.

Yao Shenxing naturally agreed, and Yin Dan soon married into the medicine family. Yin Tian practiced the "Flying Bridge Ascending Immortal" for the last time, and he had a very high level of understanding in medicine prudence, and he quickly learned it. After the teaching, Yin Tian died suddenly. Before dying, he repeatedly told Yao to be cautious: "'Flying Bridge Dengxian' must not exceed the number of Dayan, otherwise you will be jealous." ”

Soon after marriage, Yin Dan gave birth to her eldest son, named Yaolai. It's a pity that she hurt her vitality during childbirth, and she died before she could give birth to her second child. Yao Shenxing had a deep affection for Yin Dan, and he never renewed the strings since. As for the craft of "Flying Bridge Ascending Immortals", Yao Shenxing has always kept his oath and has never taught it to any of the children of the medicine family.

According to his idea, he planned to become the patriarch of the five veins, select one person from the medicine family branch to succeed the Yin family, and then teach the stunt of "Flying Bridge Ascending Immortal" to complete Yin Tian's last life.

Unexpectedly, in the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, the situation changed abruptly. Wumai was involved in the case of Sun Dianying's theft of Tangling, and Yao Shenxing was arrested and imprisoned by the government for selling stolen goods for Tan Wenjiang and sentenced to ten years in prison. The position of patriarch fell into the hands of a man named Xu Yicheng.

Two years later, due to political changes, there was a robbery at the prison where Yao Shenxing was located, and most of the prisoners fled. Xu Yicheng heard the news and sent people to look for medicine and prudence, but he was nowhere to be found.

In fact, Yao Shenxing did not die. He felt deeply guilty about what he had done, and did not want to be involved in the five veins anymore, so he took this opportunity to remain incognito, changed his name to Yin, wandered all the way south, and finally settled in Shaoxing. In Shaoxing, he adopted a child, changed his surname to Yin, remembered the old name, and worshiped Yin Tian's tablet, which was regarded as a succession. Then he taught Yin Nian the art of baking porcelain and "flying bridge to ascend to immortals", which can be regarded as the fulfillment of Yin Tian's last wish.

Yao Shenxing lived in seclusion in Shaoxing for a year, and suddenly told Yin Nianjiu one day that he had something important to go north and told the child to look good at the shop.

A few months later, a man came from the north and brought Yin Nianjiu a letter and a roll of undersea needles. The letter was written by Yao Shenxing, saying that he might not have the opportunity to return to Shaoxing, and told Yin Nian to change his career to become a silversmith, and never show the technique of "flying bridge to ascend to immortals" in front of people, but the inheritance is unbreakable. The seabed needle should also be kept safe.

The needle under the sea is the cowhide roll full of gadgets. But what happened to Yao Shenxing in the north, and why he deliberately brought it back, did not explain.

Yin Nianjiu cried to the north, and since then he has followed the instructions of Yao Shenxing, and has not mentioned the matter of baking craftsmen, but has become a silversmith. Therefore, the neighbors did not know that the family was originally good at baking porcelain, and they all thought that it was a silver family. As for the craft of "Flying Bridge Dengxian", Yin Nianjiu carefully taught his son Yin Hong, but he was not allowed to pass it on.

Later, after years of war, Yin Nian's old couple were unfortunately killed by **. Yin Hong was frightened a lot, and since then he has had a hidden psychological illness. After that, he became timid, disenchanted, and short-tempered, confined to his own shop as a silversmith. However, Yin Hong has always kept in mind his father's entrustment, and the craft of baking porcelain has never been put down, and he has practiced it for decades, even to the point of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Ironically, because of this perverse temperament, unconsciously his craftsmanship has surpassed Yin Nianjiu and Yao Shenxing, and can almost be compared to Yin Tian, but he has never been revealed in front of people.

Today, Yin Hong was forced by me and the boss of Lan Jizhai, although he was unwilling, but in fact, deep down in his heart, he also hoped to have the opportunity to perform it in front of people, otherwise he would become a dragon-slaying skill after practicing hard for a lifetime.

"That's it." Silversmith Yin said without looking back, his voice a little tired.

I sat in the back row, and my feelings were too complicated to describe. After listening to his narration, I realized that there was such a relationship between him and the five veins. The one who used to live in seclusion here was actually such an important figure in the medicine family.

This medicine is really a gentleman who values love and keeps his promises. In order to atone for his sins, he was willing to give up the five veins. For the sake of a vow, he is willing to live in seclusion here.

"But why did he deliberately choose Shaoxing to settle down?" I asked.

"Because Yin Dan has always wanted to go to Shen Yuan to have a look, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity. When he went south, he took Yin Dan's ashes with him and buried them in a corner of Shen Yuan. According to my father, he used to visit often, and he sat for a day until he went north. ”

I sighed with emotion, and suddenly my heart moved, and I did some mental calculations, and found that the time when he went north was about the same time as my grandfather Xu Yicheng's Jade Buddha head case.

Is there any connection between the two?

"Did he tell you what he was doing going north?"

Yin Hong shook his head: "My father has been talking about it, saying that he has the heart to do his filial piety for the old man, but he doesn't even know where to bury his bones." He was strict with the explanation of medicine and prudence, and he did not dare to go north to find people, so he stayed in Shaoxing all the time. Speaking of this, Yin Hong raised his head, looked at the dome and muttered, "I always feel that we are not living in seclusion here, but guarding something." ”

The only thing that Yao Shenxing brought back to Shaoxing was the roll of undersea needles. But I also saw it just now, and it was an antique toolbox with a dozen or so delicate gadgets stuck in the cowhide. If there is any mystery hidden, I'm afraid it would have been discovered by Yin Hong a long time ago, right? Besides, since they are asked to protect it, they don't mention what it is, what's the use, and how can they keep it?

But it's too late to think about anything now, I'm afraid that the scroll of undersea needles has already fallen into Liu Chengxuan's hands.

At this time, Yin Hong said: "What you just said...... Are you from the Xu family? ”

"Yes, Xu Yicheng is my grandfather." I unconsciously straightened my chest.

Silversmith Yin said "oh", saying that my father had mentioned this name, and Grandpa Yao praised him, saying that he was more qualified to lead the five veins than himself, and that set of undersea needles was said to have belonged to him originally.

I didn't expect this scroll of tools to be my grandfather's relic. But after thinking about it, I suddenly frowned: "Yao Shenxing and Xu Yicheng, but they are commensurate with each other?" ”

"It should be, Xu Yicheng is a few years younger than Yao Shenxing."

That's weird. If what Yin Hong said is right, then Yin Nianjiu is the same generation as Huang Kewu, Liu Yiming, Yaolai, and Shen Yunchen, and my father Xu Heping is also in this generation. And so on, if medicine is not the same, smoke them, aren't they my nephews and nieces?

When Yanyan told me the story of Xu Yicheng before, I vaguely felt that it was inappropriate, but now that I have confirmed it from Yin Hong, it is even more mushy.

If that's true, it's a big problem—I'm in love with my niece!

Yin Hong didn't know the chaotic thoughts in my head. He sighed, returned to his prayerful position, and closed his eyes: "Everything I can say is done, you can go." ”

That's when I remembered that I hadn't done business yet. I shook my head, shook off all the messy thoughts for a while, took out the piece of porcelain from my arms, and handed it to him.

"You can help me see if there is any claim for this fragment." My tone is tough and cannot be excused.

Yin Hong knows that if this matter does not go my way, I will definitely not give up. He had to turn around, take the porcelain piece, and take a closer look.

"This is Ming Qinghua, right? Is it a character jar? He watched and judged, and basically guessed correctly. As soon as he came into contact with his major, Yin Hong's speaking demeanor was completely different.

People who bake porcelain have a very deep understanding of porcelain, and sometimes even above the porcelain family. Porcelain players often pay attention to the shape, glaze color, historical inheritance, etc., focusing on aesthetic appreciation and classification, while in the eyes of the baked porcelain maker, this is a faulty artifact, how the glaze droplets are piled up, how the texture is opened, the physical properties are seen, and the ingredients are studied - this is a bit like the difference between the beauty pageant judges and the doctor.

"Lord, please take a look at this white mouth." I would like to remind you.

As soon as Yin Hong's hand turned, his gaze moved to the white mouth on Zhuge Liang's sleeve. Afraid that he would not be able to see clearly, he held it up in front of him and looked at it for a long time by the light coming in from outside.

He got up suddenly, and I thought he was going to run, but I didn't expect him to walk quickly to the pulpit, and there was a hut next to it, where the priest rested and prepared. The hut was not locked, Yin Hong went in and took out an enamel jar from it, and the jar also said that the 38th Red Flag Bearer of a certain unit was rewarded Yunyun, and the atmosphere of the church was full of incongruity.

Yin Hong shook the jar, and there was still leftover tea in it. He soaked the porcelain slices in it, took it out for about two minutes, looked at it, then soaked it back and took it out again. After three times, he nodded slightly, and his eyes seemed to have found the answer.

"See something?" I asked.

Yin Hong asked me to look at the edge of the white mouth, and my fingers picked at it. My eyes widened, my gaze moving to his fingertips, but I didn't see any clues. Yin Hongdao: "The glaze of porcelain is called glass phase, which generally lasts for a long time. However, if the environment is too poor, the glaze will be corroded, and some parts will become soft. ”

Silversmiths generally have long nails on their little fingers, which are easy to pinch silver for marking. He scraped the bottom of his mouth with his little fingernail, and I could clearly see a star of white microparticles embedded in the gap between the nails.

"When the baked porcelain craftsman repairs the porcelain, the most headache is to touch the crisp bone, whether it is drilled or forward, the glaze often falls off a large piece when touched, making the situation difficult to clean up."

"So, this white mouth is also a trace of crispy bones?"

Yin Hong's tone was slightly confused: "It's a crispy bone, but it seems to be made on purpose." You see the glaze around the white mouth, there seem to be dots of calcified spots floating on the surface, which are sprinkled with silver powder. If you knock on it, you will find that the texture is not softened, but very hard. There is a method of counterfeiting in the Republic of China, that is, deliberately forging traces of crisp bones, and passing off new porcelain as old porcelain. ”

My porcelain level is too poor, and it is a little difficult to understand, but I can probably capture Yin Hong's meaning. The area where calcification occurs is usually a gradual transition at the edge, with a half-soft, half-hard middle zone – like from a forest zone to a grassland zone, there must be a transitional plain in between.

The white mouth on this piece of porcelain, the edge is very hard and does not show the characteristics of a transition zone, but it is deliberately sprinkled with silver powder to disguise it as a transition.

"The edge of this fragment looks like someone cut it out......," silversmith Yin muttered to himself.

"No way, I saw the jar shatter and pick it out."

Yin Hong no longer dwelled on this topic: "Have you ever seen the white mouth on other jars?" Is the location the same? ”

I thought about it, and now I have only seen the imitations of the "Three Visits to the Thatched House" character jar and the "Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" character jar, and the white mouth of the two jars is open at the placket of Zhuge Liang and Guiguzi.

"That's right. In order to deal with the effect of cascading clothes, the glaze here is often heavier, stacked thickly, and the hand will arch slightly to the touch. For example, there is a kind of wave glaze in Tongzhi pastel, which is similar to this. With this thickness, the space inside can be used to hide things, which is called glazed capsule. ”

"Huh? How is this possible? I couldn't help but blurt it out. The porcelain is fired in the kiln, and the high temperature of several thousand degrees melts everything hidden in it. I read "Yitian Slaying the Dragon" two days ago, which said that the Yitian Sword and the Dragon Slayer Knife hide the "Wu Mu Testament" and "Jiuyin True Scripture", how is this possible, refining iron, all the books have been burned, and the situation is the same.

Yin Hong said slowly: "I didn't say it must be a book." If you engrave a few words on the plain tire, you can still keep it. There is a story in the Ming Dynasty about a porcelainist who was seriously ill and worried that after his death, his youngest son would be robbed of the family property by his son-in-law, so he carefully fired a porcelain vase. After the death of the porcelain maker, the son was adopted by his sister and brother-in-law, and the family property was also moved, and only the porcelain vase remained. When his son was fifteen years old, he scraped open the glazed sac, and his father's will was engraved on the carcass. He took this seal to the officials, and finally got his family property back. ”

"You mean, what information is hidden in the glazed capsule of this porcelain jar?"

Yin Hong flipped his hand and showed the white mouth of the porcelain piece: "What is hidden, I don't know, but it is obvious that the things inside have been taken away." This white mouth is the trace left by scraping off the glaze capsule. In order to prevent others from discovering it, the man carefully repaired and disguised the white mouth to make it appear to be just a shallow groove of crispy bones. ”

"How is this possible? I've seen the white edges, it's smooth, and it's one with the surrounding porcelain. How can the porcelain surface after scraping it be made like this? ”
