Under the Locks Chapter 37 - Apprenticeship

The corners of Lin Yi's eyes couldn't help twitching, and they had a ridiculous thought in their hearts, Master Hu was an iron-striker?

Seeing that Lin Yi and them had arrived, Old Master Hu put down the hammer in his hand, he was full of white hair and his face had a lot of wrinkles, but his body was stronger than some young people.

"You want to come and worship me as a teacher?"

Old Master Hu smiled and asked.

Lin Yi bowed: "I am Lin Yi, and I have seen Master Hu. ”

"I'm Liu Chong."

Qingqing also popped up a head: "I'm Qingqing." ”

Xiaobu in her arms also roared seriously: "Boo! ”

Old Master Hu glanced at Qingqing in surprise: "You are the girl with the quality of an eight-layer oracle?" ”

Qingqing nodded nervously.

Master Hu shook his head and smiled: "Then you shouldn't worship me as a teacher." ”

He took a deep breath, wiped the stains off his hands, and picked up a black stone and measured it.

"As you can see, I'm so busy that I don't have time to teach you how to practice."

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter, we can practice by ourselves, as long as Master Hu agrees." ”

Old Master Hu had already put down the stone in his hand, picked up a few more drawings and compared them, and said, "The eighth-layer oracle quality will waste a great talent on me. ”

Lin Yi walked up with a smile and looked at the drawings in the hands of Old Master Hu from a distance.

Liu Chong on the side scolded secretly in his heart, everyone said that they were unwilling to accept disciples, why did they still stick it, wouldn't it be better to worship other respected teachers as teachers.

Lin Yi asked suspiciously, "Then why does Old Master Hu still accept other people as disciples?" ”

Old Master Hu glanced at him and said calmly: "Since I am a respected teacher, I have to symbolically accept a few disciples, and I also need a few assistants. ”

Lin Yi asked, "I don't know what Old Master Hu is studying?" ”

Master Hu sneered: "You don't understand it!" ”

Lin Yi's eyes turned, and he looked up at the walls around him, which were also covered with drawings, all of which were some strangely shaped patterns, but if he looked closely, it was not difficult to find that these patterns seemed to be very regular as a whole, but they were actually composed of many lines.

He smiled and said, "If the Venerable Master is willing to explain, maybe I will understand?" ”

Old Master Hu frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Lin Yi, and couldn't help laughing: "You know a fart!" ”

He put a drawing in his hand flat in front of Lin Yi, laughed and said, "Then tell me, what are these?" ”

He smiled disdainfully: "I've studied it for decades, and I don't dare to say that I understand, but you a hairy boy dare to understand." ”

Lin Yi looked at this drawing seriously, the pattern on it was a bar shape as a whole, but there were indeed many lines in it, all kinds of interlaced, like a tree root growing randomly.

Lin Yi said slightly: "Although I don't know what this represents, these lines, I look like veins." ”

Old Master Hu sneered and waved his hand: "You are so crazy in cultivation that you look at everything, I think you are quite like a vein." ”

He added, "It doesn't hurt to tell you, it's a rune." ”

He noticed Lin Yi's puzzled gaze and smiled awkwardly: "The name Rune was chosen by me, and that's what it means anyway." ”

His eyebrows raised, he looked at Lin Yi and smiled, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to know what it does?" I'm going to use it to create a fetish! ”

Lin Yi was surprised, create a fetish!

He suddenly thought of the big-character context diagram, the flame sword that fell from the sky, and the hanging black cloth above the imperial city, these were all divine objects, but they could not be formed naturally by heaven and earth, they must have been artificially created.

If you think about it, maybe the gods can really be created, but people don't know how to create them yet.

Lin Yi also smiled and asked in a low voice, "Then has Old Master Hu ever succeeded in creating a divine artifact?" ”

Old Master Hu's face turned dark, and he said unhappily: "No! Let's go! I won't take you! ”

Lin Yi was dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "Did Old Master Hu ever think that the reason why you didn't succeed may be that these runes are wrong!" ”

Old Master Hu's brows furrowed slightly.

Liu Chong, who was on the side, saw that Lin Yi and Master Hu were chatting happily, and thought, "Lin Yi has started to fool people again!" ”

Master Hu raised his hand suddenly: "Impossible, this is what I sorted out from the ancient books, if I am wrong, who else in the world can correct it?" ”

Lin Yi's gaze turned again, and said: "It's better for me to try to correct it, I see it as a vein, just use my understanding to correct it, I'm familiar with the vein." ”

Master Hu laughed, handed Lin Yi a pen and paper, and smiled playfully: "Boy, don't say that I won't give you a chance, if you can correct it, don't say that you worship me as a teacher, even if I worship you as a teacher!" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help frowning, remembering how he had been deceived into becoming a respected teacher in the National Education Academy, and his face turned dark, just because he had made a promise at the beginning.

"If your correction is wrong, you can leave, don't bother me here." He said, thinking that it would be impossible for Lin Yi to correct it anyway, so he knew that it was difficult for him to retreat.

Lin Yi smiled: "You said this yourself. ”

He quickly looked at the lines on the drawing, and began to recall the large character context diagram in his mind, and the pen in his hand began to draw on the drawing where he thought it was wrong.

Seeing this, Old Master Hu on the side couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes, Lin Yi actually destroyed his rune directly, but he didn't show anger, because this kind of drawing was just a rubbing.

After a long time, Lin Yi began to draw on the white paper, and the overall shape of the entire rune pattern was still almost the same, but the interlaced patterns in it changed a lot.

The more Old Master Hu looked at it, the more his brows wrinkled.

The newly drawn patterns seemed familiar to him, as if he had seen them in ancient books.

Liu Chong seemed a little unable to sit still, waiting for him here felt even more boring than burying his head in practice, so Xu Jun took him to the back garden for a walk.

Qingqing stayed, and she also walked over curiously, watching the pen in Lin Yi's hand keep sketching.

The little cloth in her arms also pretended to be extremely serious, and the two dogs' eyes stared at each other, as if they also understood one or two.

After a long time, Lin Yi put down the pen in his hand, and a new rune appeared.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhengse said: "With my understanding of the context, it should be in line with this." ”

Hearing this, Qingqing nodded seriously, what Brother Lin Yi said must be right.

Xiaobu also nodded solemnly, and what Qingqing thought was right must be right.

Master Hu smiled and said, "The kid is quite good at pretending. ”

He glanced at Lin Yi, thinking that Lin Yi must have read some ancient books, and just found some runes to exchange them, thinking that he could get away with it in this way.

He sneered in his heart, but the object of confusion was him, the entire oracle country, in terms of the knowledge of runes, he recognized the second, I am afraid that no one would dare to admit the first, and even most of the people did not know that there were runes in the world.

Lin Yi was puzzled: "I don't know how Old Master Hu can verify whether it is correct?" ”

Old Master Hu glanced at Lin Yi in surprise, this kid really wanted to verify it, and he knew that it was impossible to do it with his fingers.

Lin Yi looked at him with a smile.

He smiled helplessly: "Okay, I'll verify it for you." ”

So saying, he rummaged through the pile of debris beneath his feet, which clattered and tumbled to the ground, and after a moment he pulled out a purple stick.

He said: "This is the dragon-seeking wood I bought at a high price, so I will use it to verify it for you." ”

Lin Yi nodded.

Old Master Hu smiled ghostly: "Don't be too happy, I'm going to engrave the rune seal on it, it will destroy this good dragon-seeking wood, so you have to compensate me." ”

He stretched out two fingers: "Give you a preferential price, twenty taels of spirit silver will be fine." ”

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth couldn't help twitching, this kind of wood just has a nice name, it is not a wood that has no big effect at all, and it generally grows in the dark dense forest.

Its growth path is very weird, not growing upwards, but growing crookedly and horizontally all the way, and the trunk is not twisted to the present, and it is not even three or two inches straight, it looks like it is looking for something to grow, people gave it a name called Xunmu, and later Xunzhi changed it to Xunlongmu.

A very domineering name, but worthless, this old man Hu asked him to compensate twenty taels of spirit silver, which is definitely blackmail, and it may also be that he wants Lin Yi to give up by himself.

Lin Yi thought for a while and asked, "Old Master Hu, how can you verify that you use an ordinary wood?" ”

When Master Hu heard this, his beard blew loudly: "Ordinary? You've ever seen a dragon-seeking wood that grows so straight, it's a great material for crafting artifacts! ”

Lin Yi blinked, skeptical.

Qingqing stared at Old Master Hu deadly, thinking in her heart: "This is a bad old man!" ”

Xiaobu also glared at the two dogs angrily and roared fiercely: "Boom! ”

Master Hu shook the dragon-seeking wooden stick in his hand and asked, "How is it?" Can you afford it? ”

Lin Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

He did have a hundred taels of spirit silver, which was a thank you gift from Nie Qinghong, and he hadn't used it yet.

Old Master Hu's face darkened, and he rummaged through the debris under his feet again, and after a while, he found a dragon-seeking wood, but it was shorter and smaller than before.

Qingqing couldn't help but think, "Sure enough, it's a bad old man!" ”

"Woooooooo

Little Boo bared his teeth and roared.

Master Hu said, "Look at it! ”

He grabbed a seal carving knife and carved it on the small dragon-seeking wood, which was a better dragon-seeking wood that he had hidden.

"I'll carve your rune seal now, it's just an extremely simple rune, and I don't need a complicated process to judge whether the rune is correct or not."

Lin Yi nodded and asked, "What will happen if it's correct?" ”

Old Master Hu glanced at him and said, "If it is correct, the edge of the dragon seeking wood will emit divine light, just like opening the spiritual vein, if it is wrong, then there will be no effect." ”

As he spoke, he had carved the rune perfectly on this dragon-seeking wood.

He grabbed the carved dragon-seeking wood with two fingers, and glanced at Lin Yi with a smile: "Look at it!" ”
