Chapter 55 The Purpose of the Vulcan Cult
The people regard food as the sky, and Li Mingyi was busy for a long time and decided to turn his grief and anger into appetite. So after gulping down two bowls of noodles, he sat in the corner, thinking about the purpose of the Vulcan Sect, how to block Wei Wuji.
The craftsmen also began to come to dine one after another, and it was clear that the competition of craftsmen of various categories had ended. For this banquet, the craftsmen have obviously seen a lot of different things, and they are discussing them with relish.
At this time, a voice caught Li Mingyi's attention.
"You say, what's going on this year? There were a lot of people from the official workshop. ”
"Huh? Isn't it common for officials not to participate in such activities? ”
"That's right, but this year, the blacksmith came to a Raven and actually won Commander Lu. Our stonemasons came to a quartz workshop in the Ministry of Crafts, and the craftsmanship of hollowing and nesting is simply unmatched. ”
After Li Mingyi heard this, his brows furrowed, and he leaned over and asked, "This brother, are there a lot of people from the official workshop this time?" ”
Another person next to him leaned over and said, "Yes, there is a master in the palace from our cobbler's side." The sewn fur fur has no stitches at all. What is the name of that person, by the way, it is called Zhou Zhe. ”
Another person also said: "Let's not talk about our papermakers, it has always been the official workshop that has won the first place." But this time, even Cai Lun and Cai Yuanwai came, and that was the fifth member of the Ministry of Industry. ”
"Oh."
"What's this, Lord Quartz Shi, and also the fifth grade member of the Ministry of Industry."
The craftsmen are still there, and I am still there.
Li Mingyi has gradually come back to his senses. The Vulcan Sect most likely wanted to use the power of the Ministry of Industry to take over the position of the leader of the hundred workers this time. Depending on the situation, it is very likely that the five commanders have already been taken down by them.
Even if they don't win all of them, as long as the five commanders win three of them, then it is basically a sure thing for them to win the hundred workers.
The craftsmen over there are still discussing what you say and I talk about it. Obviously, everyone still admires the skills of the craftsmen from these workshops.
Li Mingyi suddenly interjected and asked, "Is this leader of 100 workers so popular?" Why is the Ministry of Industry also taking a fancy to it? ”
"yes, didn't they look down on them in previous years?"
"Don't those people in the Ministry of Industry think that their skills are the best in the world, and they don't look down on us folk craftsmen at all?"
"What is the first in the world is the only one in the world."
At that moment, one person said, "I must have taken a fancy to a certain skill." It's not always like this every time, if you fancy a certain skill, you will run away if you grab it. ”
Li Mingyi hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”
The man replied, "This leader of the hundred crafts needs to preserve the skills of each sect. This was also a regulation designed to prevent craftsmen from losing their skills without inheritors. ”
"The skills of the Ministry of Industry have always been the best in the world, will they look at our people?"
Someone immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense." Although the skills of the Ministry of Industry are good, our folk are not bad. You didn't see the level of Master Lu Mutou. There are no rules, hand rubbing and squeezing wedges, no difference. The person who came from the Ministry of Engineering could only shake his head and sigh. ”
"Oh, I've also heard that Naru Mutou is said to have been driven away by Lu Gongtang. This time, I also brought a wooden armor. ”
"yes, yes, that's amazing."
"What a magic spell?"
Everyone began to talk about the wooden armor again, and it was obvious that Lu Mutou's skills directly impressed the craftsmen. When Li Mingyi heard this, he didn't listen to it anymore.
The Vulcan Sect has taken a fancy to a skill, but he doesn't know what that skill is. He needed to figure it out now.
However, no matter what Vulcan has his eye on, he needs to find Lu Mutou now and put him in the position of master of the craftsman. After all, it sounds like he's the only one who didn't come from the Ministry of Industry.
So Li Mingyi searched around in the crowd, and finally found Lu Mutou, who was surrounded by all craftsmen.
As soon as Lu Mutou ate a bowl of noodles, he was grabbed and asked this and that. Li Mingyi didn't step forward immediately, just looking for an opportunity.
After a while, the time came.
I only heard one person say: "Master Lu, this time you are aspiring to be the commander of the hundred workers?" ”
Lu Mutou was still very wooden, and said: "No, I just want to prove to Lu Gongtang ......"
Without waiting for Lu Mutou to finish speaking, Li Mingyi directly interjected on the side: "Of course, our civil leaders of hundreds of workers, can we still let the officials go?" Master Lu is definitely the leader of all kinds of workers today. ”
At that moment, someone interjected on the side: "Yes, the leaders of the other sects this year are all from the Ministry of Industry. It is said that even the Lu commander of Lu Gongtang was defeated. ”
When Lu Mutou heard this, he immediately came to his senses and asked, "What did you say?" Iron Head He Defeated? ”
"That's right, Commander Lu is defeated."
"Commander Lu seems to have a problem with his internal strength at the last moment, and he lost all of a sudden, which is a pity."
"yes, yes, it's a pity."
"I could have won."
Lu Mutou obviously didn't want to listen anymore, as if he was stimulated by something, he directly pushed everyone away and left in a hurry. Li Mingyi hurriedly followed.
Lu Mutou was obviously very familiar with Lu Gongtang, and walked directly to the depths of Lu Gongtang.
Maybe it's because of the Hundred Workers Banquet, Lu Gongtang's defense is very lax today, and Lu Mutou just keeps breaking in, and no one stops him along the way.
Lu Mutou came to a courtyard in the backyard in a circle.
In the courtyard, Tietou was sitting opposite an old man with white hair drinking tea, as if he didn't care about his defeat. Of course, it is also possible to pretend to be calm.
After the old man saw Lu Mutou, he didn't seem surprised at all, but said to Lu Tietou: "Tietou, I've told you, as soon as Mutou hears that you lose, he will definitely come over." ”
Lu Tietou just drank tea sullenly and didn't speak.
Lu Mutou looked at the old man and suddenly knelt down and shouted, "Master." ”
The old man's name is Lu Dali, who is the master of the previous generation of Lu Gongtang, and he is also the master of Lu Mutou and Lu Tietou. Both of them were orphans, and after being adopted by the old man, they became the heirs of the old mantle.
This Lu Gongtang is clearly in charge of Lu Tietou, but secretly this old man has the final say.
When the old man saw Lu Mutou kneeling, he didn't avoid it, he knelt down and said, "Mutou, you have been expelled from Lu Gongtang by me, why call me master again." ”
Lu Mutou said: "I've been expelled from Lu Gongtang, but you are still my master." ”
"When will you be able to open your mind? Get up. The old man scolded him, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Li Mingyi who was following behind, and asked: "This young man, shouldn't he be a craftsman, I don't know why I'm here?" ”
Li Mingyi hurriedly said: "I am a friend of this Lu Mutou, I saw that he was in a hurry, and I was afraid that something would happen to him, so I came to take a look." ”
