Piao Ranzi accompanied Lu Ban and Peng Da, passed through the rockery, and walked through the Wuming Palace and Huale Palace, and came to a bamboo forest. A clearing was cleared inside, and the Heavenly Craftsmen were busy.

"Mr. Pengda, how is this place? You see a mountain in the distance, and the mountain stream and spring water flow here. The green bamboo is lush, and the door of your house faces west, and it is very convenient to go to the Heavenly Palace. Lu Ban asked.

"It's a great place for me. But don't be extravagant. Mr. Peng Da said. "Although the patriarch built calmly, I am not in a hurry to live. ”

"You're not in a hurry, we're in a hurry. "Tianqiao Xingjun came from the bamboo forest, followed by Diqiao Xingjun and Dinu Xingjun. "The Jade Emperor sent this errand to the Heavenly Court Ministry of Works to complete it within a time limit. The three of us are in charge of building the palace, and we will be questioned by the Heavenly Court Criminal Department if we overdue. ”

"Oh, I see. It's really hard for three people. Mr. Peng Da said. "I think it's better to keep things simple. How long can I stay in Heaven? Moreover, there are thousands of spacious buildings, and I sleep alone. What's the use of having that extra room?"

"Sir, is there still an earthly world?" said the Earth Skill Star Monarch.

"Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place for me to stay. Mr. Peng Da said.

"Sir, don't do that. Tianqiao Xingjun said: "My emperor is obedient to you, and he will reuse Mr. in the future." It is a matter of time before you are in the ascendant and rank in the court. ”

"I was originally a fisherman on the beach of mortal dust, and I was used to idleness. Let me go three days a day, I can't stand it. Mr. Peng Da said.

"Sir, you also have to focus on the overall situation of the Three Realms. "Tianqiao Xingjun said.

"Four Immortal Masters, you talk about your overall situation, I'm going to work. "Patriarch Luban listened for a long time, and he was about to enter the construction site with Piaoranzi.

"Patriarch Luban, the Zhaoxian Pavilion has been repaired, and this Pengxian Mansion must also be fastened. I heard that the Jade Emperor is going to hold a meeting of the three immortals, and he wants to level a large square and meet the three immortals of the Three Realms. "Tianqiao Xingjun said.

"Hehehe, it's easy to do," Patriarch Luban said: "You see, my senior brother Zhang Ban will take his heavenly craftsmen to do it." Chu Piaoran and I, take a few rough Ben Heavenly Craftsmen to build Peng Xian Mansion, how about it?"

"Well, it's fine, it's fine. This will also save you from discord between your brothers and sisters. Tianqiao Xingjun said, and ordered Diqiao Xingjun and Dinu Xingjun to take Zhang Ban away, go back to the Ministry of Works, and ask about the construction of the Qunxian Society.

"Xingjun, build the Peng Immortal Mansion, this Chu Piaoran, you want to be my helper until it is completed. You sue the Ministry of Labor and pay him some of the labor costs. Lu Bandao.

"This one does. Tianqiao Xingjun said with a smile: "People are the sages of the Three Realms, the underworld has a title, and there is a name on the recruitment list, and the Jade Emperor will be specially summoned in the future, either to seal the position, or to seal the holy name." It's better for you to let him do the work for you first, and learn to be a craftsman. Hehe, if it were me, I would never let you suffer. ”

"Xingjun, it's okay to do some work. "Piaoranzi doesn't care. "I volunteered to do my job. ”

"Well, if you're willing to do it, we can't ask for it. Tianqiao Xingjun smiled again: "In the future, if you follow the ancestor to learn the same, you will go to the Heavenly Court Engineering Department to take up a temporary position, we welcome it." ”

"Then why not!?" Piao Ranzi also laughed.

Tianqiao Xingjun and Mr. Peng Da walked around and inspected the terrain. Lu Ban came to the construction site with Piaoranzi, and all the heavenly craftsmen greeted Lu Ban Patriarch and asked for arrangement.

"You should make the doors, windows, beams and pillars first. Now there's no need to rush. After Lu Ban finished speaking, he introduced to the heavenly craftsmen: "This is Chu Piaoran, you have seen it yesterday." He will be my helper, and you will not bully him. ”

"My ancestor grandfather, how dare we?!" said an old craftsman with a smile: "He is a wise man in the ghost world, it seems that you will also accept him as a disciple, we will obey the order, and we will never dare to say anything." ”

"Uncles, big brothers, Chu still wants to ask you for advice. Piaoranzi said.

"Hehe, with the patriarch here, we don't dare to teach. "Heavenly craftsman said.

"Okay, let's go and get busy. After Lu Ban finished instructing, let Piao Ranzi stay by his side to learn art.

Patriarch Luban first taught from the basic tools, Piao Ranzi followed the patriarch, paying attention to the various objects he made, and Patriarch Luban taught him carefully.

Everyone, the master and apprentice still eat at the same table, the immortal officials bring wine, Lu Ban eats, and talks about idle days.

"Ancestor, you are in the Heavenly Palace, what rank do you rank?"

"Huti, Huti, I'm in the Heavenly Palace, and I only have the title of Patriarch Luban, and I have no grade. ”

"Oh, it's better than the folk of the realm. When Piaoranzi heard this, he felt very unfair. "In the realm of the earth, you are also the ancestor of carpenters, and the ancestor of Luban recognized by all parties. ”

"Hey, the Heavenly Court is the same as the Earth Realm. Lu Ban ate and said: "In Fanchen, I, a craftsman, am not in the ninth rank. ”

"The upper nine streams?

"Yes, I am in the earthly world, I eat by handicraft, and I often walk the rivers and lakes, and there are many rules here. Besides, I am also a carpenter ancestor, and many of the rules of the younger generations are set by me. ”

"Ancestor, can you tell me what are the nine streams?"

"Okay, I'll tell you yes, but you'll have to make a note of it. Patriarch Luban nodded when he saw Piao Ranzi, and said: "The upper nine ranks are: the first-class son of heaven, the second-rate king, the third-rate national prince and the fourth-rate minister, the fifth-rate general and the six scholars, and the officials of the seven prefectures, eight states and nine counties. ”

"These are indeed the upper ninth-rate. Piao Ranzi nodded, and asked the middle and lower nine streams.

Patriarch Lu Ban said the beginning, and then told him: "In the Heavenly Palace, there are only two patriarchs, me and Zhang Ban. In the earthly world, we go south and north, just like walking the rivers and lakes. It is said that the rivers and lakes of our craftsmen are not bad at all compared to the rivers and lakes of the imperial court and the green forest. ”

"Patriarch, wait. Let me ask you first, who are your craftsmen?"

"But among the craftsmen, there are eighteen craftsmen. "Lu Ban has been in Heaven for many years, did he meet this young man and tell him about the secret history of the craftsmen, he is teaching the rules of the class to Piao Ranzi.

"The eighteen craftsmen are: gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, wood tile kiln, stone paint, bullet dyeing, painting and carving, wine hoop skin. ”
