Volume 1 The Mortal Realm Chapter 4 God Travels a Thousand Miles
The days were as uneventful as usual, until a month later, when news spread through the village. I don't know how Lear got the hang of it, and he studied the formation without a teacher, and he actually built a car that didn't use a horse, which could travel thousands of miles a day, a few points faster than a good BMW horse. It can take six people, can control the start and stop, advance and retreat, fast and slow, turning, no manpower, no animal power, no forage, very magical.
During this time, Lear was exhausted, and the structure of the car was very complicated, and he made hundreds of exquisite parts with his wisdom, and spent all his family's savings and ten taels of silver for more than a month. If he couldn't sell it, he would go bankrupt and have no money to build a second car.
And the most important thing about the Divine Journey is not the complex mechanism structure, but the rune formation at his core. The rune formation is the most complex and mysterious thing, the small can be good to avoid evil, and the big can change the life against the sky. Lear's rune can have such power, naturally it is inseparable from the divine sand rune Huangshi left by the weasel. But this rune formation, where Lear got it is unknown.
Lear himself drove his car to test on the streets of the village, and the neighbors saw it, and they didn't know why, so they came up to ask. Lear excitedly explains to the neighbors what the magic car does. One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and the news spread far and wide, and it went crazy.
This incident was learned by the old man of the Kou family in the neighboring village, who was alone in the room, pacing with his hands behind his back, suddenly with joy on his face, and suddenly frowning, as if he was considering something important.
The most powerful family in Tang Wucheng is the Tang family, and the Shenji Gate founded by the Tang family has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than a thousand years, and is the best at the production of hidden weapons. He can be called a martial arts leader in the hidden weapon of the mechanism.
The ancestors of the Kou family also had some research on the organs. The ancestor once listened to errands in the Shenji Gate, specializing in the production of hidden weapons of the mechanism, and has entered the inner door of the Shenji Gate, which is valued by the Tang family and its value, but it is one of the best craftsmen. Over the years, the Kou family's talents have withered and declined, and most of the ancestral skills have been lost.
The current Kou family mainly relies on making some hidden weapons to sell in the town in order to maintain the family's expenses. The world is not peaceful, and some big families will equip the family with hidden weapons. Merchants who traveled far away would also carry hidden weapons to defend themselves, and ordinary small families would also buy some cheap bows and crossbows and hidden arrows to keep at home to prevent the invasion of bandits at night. The Kou family's livelihood is not bad.
Shenjimen monopolized the hidden weapon industry, suppressed peers, and was expensive. The reason why the Kou family was able to operate the hidden weapon business under the nose of the Shenji Gate was because the Kou family had a marriage with the Tang family of the Shenji Gate, and the Tang family turned a blind eye; second, although the quality of the Kou family's hidden weapons was far from being as good as the Tang family, the price was cheap, and the sales in the surrounding towns and stores were still good.
Although Master Kou's organ skills are not weak, they are far worse than those of his ancestors. But he still knows a lot about hidden weapons. The car Lear built was the Tang family, which was civilized in the world, and did not have such magical skills. Could it be that Lear got the legendary Book of Luban?
The Book of Luban was written by the master craftsman Lu Ban, but no one could understand it, and it is said to come from the fragment of the Book of Heaven, which was later lost. The wooden bird made by Lu Ban can fly in the sky for several days and nights without falling, which is simply amazing. The best friend of the ancestors of the Tang family, I was fortunate to read the Luban book once, opened the seven tricks, created the number of tricks, and later passed it to the Tang family, and the ancestors of the Tang family relied on this skill to create the Shenji Gate, which shocked the rivers and lakes. I don't know how many people searched all over the five continents and didn't find the magical "Book of Luban".
Old Man Kou pondered: Where did Lear, a little carpenter, have such skills, the servant who came to report the news, said that he had a nose and eyes, and said that he saw Lear driving a magical car outside Koujia Village, it didn't seem like a fake. Could it be that there is really some adventure?
The old man of the Kou family came to Lear's house, how dare Lear slack off. This is one of the three major families in Zuojia Town, although eating, drinking, and having fun, not doing business, the family has declined, and the scale of business is far less than that of the Zuo family, but the Kou family has a backstage. The Kou family bullied the market and confused the township, which was a local evil, and no one dared to provoke it.
Lear brought the old man into the hall, sat down, and poured tea. Master Kou looked around, this Lear family is an ordinary peasant family. There are two bedrooms on the left and right, and in the middle is the kitchen and living room. There are gates in the north and south. To the south is a small courtyard of more than 20 square meters. In the yard, flowers are planted in front of the window, and vegetables are planted in the yard. Although shabby, it is neatly cleaned up and the landscape is chic.
Sheng Xinlan stepped back after bringing hot tea, and Lear did not sit down, and said respectfully: "Master Kou, please drink tea." "He has heard of the reputation of the Kou family, and if he is wrong, if he makes the family find fault, it may be a disaster.
"Lear, you're pretending to be confused with me!" The old man of the Kou family squinted and looked at Lear, his words with anger.
"Master Kou, are you here for my divine chariot?" replied Lear respectfully in fear.
"I'm not interested in your broken car, hurry up and hand over the "Luban Book"!" With the power of Master Kou, there is no need to go around in circles with Lear, and he wants the Luban book straight to the point.
"Master Kou, you're joking, I'm a little carpenter, where did I get the Book of Luban?" Lear knew that he was going to get into trouble, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the truth.
When the old man heard this, he snapped and slapped his palm on the table. The shock caused the teacups to fall to the ground, shattering the ground. Lear shivered with fear. The back door rushed into more than a dozen big men, all of whom were the Kou family's family guards, and each of them had kung fu.
The old man shouted: "Search for me!"
This group of people rummaged through boxes and cabinets, saw what was smashed, and for half an hour, they found nothing. The Li family is not big, and the cost of raising children is also large. It can be said that there are four walls of home. In the past half an hour, even a hidden ant has been found. Master Kou was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up. He arrives in the courtyard, where Lear's Walker is parked.
"Come here!" said Master Kou's tone changed, waving at Lear.
Lear honestly walked up to Master Kou and said, "Master has something to ask!"
"Your car... It really is ... Can you go all the way?"
"Back to the old man, it's true. ”
Master Kou circled around the car a few times, observed carefully, and asked Lear how to operate. Then got in the car and drove away. Before leaving, he said that he wanted to give Lear a thousand taels of silver. Only Lear can believe this! With the character of the old man of the Kou family, how could he give him money, just say a number casually.
After the Kou family was gone, Lear calmed down. Seeing that the old man of the Kou family promised this amount of money, he was also very excited, thinking about the future, no longer going to work, opening a car-making workshop by himself, running a family business, and making the Li family a big family like the Zuo family, passed down from generation to generation... But he didn't want to cause trouble for the Zuo family.
On this day, he came to work, and as soon as he entered, the yellow carpenter came to him: "Lear, the foreman is looking for you, let you go there immediately." Lear asked, "What's the matter?" The yellow carpenter shook his head and said, "How do I know, he didn't say it, but the rumor of your magic car is boiling, I guess it has something to do with it." Lear nodded, "I think it's probably so." So I put down my tools, patted the dust and sawdust, and walked to the foreman's room.
When the foreman saw Lear coming, he immediately got up to greet him, with a smile on his face, and before Lear could speak, the foreman immediately said, "Lear sit." Immediately a cup of tea was served, Lear was flattered, the foreman usually did not have a good face for them, it was all Cui Gong who found fault and found something to deduct some wages. Lear didn't dare to sit down, took the tea with both hands and put it on the table, and timidly said to the foreman, "What is the matter with the foreman looking for me?" The foreman smiled and said, "I am looking for you, it is the master of the family who is looking for you, hurry up and follow me to see the master of the house." Lear then got up and followed, but he thought in his heart that this trip must have something to do with the divine chariot, and he didn't know what the blessing would be.
