Chapter Seventy-Three: The Iron-Headed Wooden Man IV

This attic is also peculiar, embedded in the mountain wall, like a well-carved cave. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Brother Hong, Brother Wang, last time I stayed in it for a long time, and I was discovered by the master, this time Brother Gu and I just went in to take a look, and came out in half an hour, how about it?"

The two glanced at each other, and the surnamed Hong said with a sneer: "Little green girl, if it is on weekdays, my brothers and sisters will turn a blind eye and let the little green girl enter, but yesterday the owner specially ordered that no one should be allowed to enter the craftsman without the permission of his old man." ”

Xiaoqing grinned, took out a round wooden card from his arms, grabbed the wooden card in his small hand and shook it in front of the two of them, and said, "Brother Hong, can we go in now?"

When the two saw Xiaoqing take out this wooden card in their hands, their faces changed again, and they knelt down together, and they didn't talk to Xiaoqing anymore, just lowered their heads.

Xiao Qing glanced at me, and a wicked smile appeared on her little face, and said, "Brother Gu, let's go in." ”

This wooden plaque is a symbol of Cheng Fuhai's personal presence. I couldn't cry or laugh in my heart, Cheng Fuhai's city mansion was already very deep, but I didn't expect that Xiaoqing, the maid, was also a clever and eccentric, completely a little fox.

The gate of this attic is also quite exquisitely built, the gate is carved with fish, insects, flowers and grass patterns, at first glance there is no order, messy and abnormal, look carefully, but faintly is a chaotic and orderly clever picture. There is a circular card slot in the middle of the door, the card slot is the size of a palm, and there is a fine wood relief embedded around it.

Xiao Qing clasped the log token with his five fingers and turned it slightly, but he heard the sound of chains stirring in the gate, and then the two gates shook suddenly, and slowly moved away to both sides. It's another trap door.

I was amazed, and Xiaoqing put away the log token in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, follow me." ”

After she finished speaking, she ran in first. Following Xiaoqing, I kept looking at the attic, which looked like an attic from the outside, but it was far from as simple as it seemed from the outside.

The attic is not full of tables and chairs, curtains and flowers like me, it is completely a wide mountain wall passage. However, this passage is not like the old cave in the mountains, the walls are damp and pitted, and there are no convex and recessed stones on the walls, but they are polished smooth as mirrors, and they are unusually smooth. The huge passage is paved with large cyan stones on the ground, and there are no drops of water on the top of the cave, and the ground is dry as a scorching one, where there is a little bit of a cave.

The passage was not very long, and there was a firelight not far ahead, and there seemed to be another space. Following Xiaoqing, we kept walking towards the end of the passage, but we saw that some hollow walls gradually appeared on both sides of the passage, and rows of wooden objects were placed in the holes, large and small, delicate and detailed. There is a very large board car, the board car is very different from the ordinary appearance, this board car is set up with a very complex crossbow, the crossbow is set on dozens of wooden arrows, and there is a square wooden box under the crossbow. Although it is carved from wood, the crossbow cart is carved as if it were real, and even the strings on the crossbow are made extremely slender, and at first glance, it looks like real animal tendons. There are countless other small ones, there are birds, beasts and reptiles, there are strange-shaped weapons, there are folk labor products, there are house villains, etc., these are all wooden carvings, and the carving is ingenious, lifelike.

There are also some unfinished wooden carvings, but I am already surprised to close my mouth, I often hear that there are skilled carpenters in the rivers and lakes, who can create pleasing wooden products and practical labor tools, but so many wooden carvings are the first time I have seen them, and there are even many strange wood carvings that I have never seen before.

I was secretly surprised to see it, and while I was looking left and right, Xiaoqing and I had already reached the end of this passage, and what appeared in front of me surprised me a lot.

It is a large circular cave, and unlike the wooden carvings in the passage, this cave is filled with real iron objects. On the roof of the cave lay two unusually thick round logs, which crossed together to occupy the entire roof of the cave. Long iron chains hung from the two giant trees, and the ground was not paved with large stones, but with thick iron plates, which hung from the top of the cave to which they were attached.

On the iron plate of the cave are stacked pieces of iron objects, which are of various shapes, intricately carved and strangely shaped, but most of them are strange iron products. The iron objects were piled up in a circle around a large pit in the middle of the cavern where a huge furnace was set up about a foot high, and in the middle of the cavern fire pit was a short man with an iron helmet on his head, adding firewood to the pit.

Xiaoqing and I walked to this cave, and Xiaoqing happily ran towards the diminutive man, shouting, "Amin, it's been a long time." ”

The man turned around, saw that it was Xiaoqing, put down the firewood in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing girl, you are here, hey, why did you bring someone again?"

As soon as the man named Amin turned his head, I saw that his entire head was completely covered by a black helmet, revealing only his eyes and nostrils, and he was talking in an urn. He was extremely short, shorter than the man surnamed Jiang, and he looked less than four feet tall, like a child of five or six years old.

He spoke with joy at first, but when he saw me again, his tone was tinged with dissatisfaction. Xiaoqing grinned and said, "Ah Ming, this is our guest in the village, Gu Tian, Gu Shaoxia." ”

I hugged my fist at him and said, "Hello, Mr. Amin." ”

I wanted to call him "Brother Amin" or "Young Man Amin", but I always felt a little awkward when the words came to my lips, even if I said "Mr. Amin", even I couldn't help but want to laugh. He really didn't look like a gentleman.

Ah Ming snorted lightly, his eyes flashed, and said, "You are Gu Tian?"

It seems that everyone in Youyun Mountain Villa already knows my name, and I am not surprised, and said, "It's exactly below." ”

But I saw his two short arms behind his back, walked around me, and said: "There is nothing special, strange, when I heard Cheng Fuhai talk about you, I thought you had three heads and six arms, but I didn't expect that you, like me, have two eyes and one mouth." ”

He looked so funny, with his hands behind his back, he looked like a seasoned old man, and what he said later was even more funny, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and I was speechless.

When he saw me laughing, he suddenly exclaimed, "What are you laughing at, isn't what the old man said wrong? Don't you and I both have two eyes and one mouth?"

He called himself an old man, I stopped laughing, and looked at Ah Ming who was only up to my thigh in front of me a little strangely, but I heard Xiaoqing grab my arm and say angrily: "Brother Gu, Ah Ming is eighty-four years old, older than the age of the owner." ”

I was taken aback, looked at Ah Ming in front of me in disbelief, and said, "Eighty-four years old?"

Xiaoqing nodded and said: "Ah Ming is the oldest person in our villa, even the master has to respect Ah Ming for three points, and the master does not let outsiders disturb Ah Ming, so he is not allowed to enter this place." ”

I was taken aback again, and hugged my fist at Ah Ming and said, "Junior, please Mr. Ah Ming, Haihan." ”

Ah Ming snorted and said, "The old man doesn't look like he is eighty-four years old, right?"

His voice really doesn't look like it, and his figure doesn't look like it, and anyone who sees him at first glance will think he's a child. I sneered, "Please calm your anger." ”

Xiaoqing played a round for me on the side, took Ah Ming's arm and grinned: "Ah Ming, Brother Gu came to our villa for the second time, don't blame those who don't know, right?"

Ah Ming looked at me, suddenly smiled, and said, "That's because the old man looks young, and it's too late for me to be happy, so how can I blame him?"

I thought to myself that this man named Ah Ming was really a strange old man, one moment he was angry, and the next moment he was happy, he was really moody. Ah Ming's short head looked up at me, and he sighed: "I really can't imagine that there are really people in this world who are pregnant with foreign blood and can unravel the poison, and it is right in front of the old man's eyes, hehe." ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, speaking of which, even I didn't think that I was pregnant with foreign blood, if it wasn't for the coincidence that Ma Qianli sucked blood, I thought it was the magic of opening the heavens to resist the poison.

At this time, Xiaoqing shouted: "Ah Ming, can the wooden man you said last time really move? ”

The wooden man who can move? I thought to myself, can the wooden man move?

Armin laughed, his short stature did not match his laughter at all, he glanced at me and said, "Anyway, you are about to go to the Death Swamp, and the old man will let you open your eyes first." Come here. ”

Xiaoqing cheered, pulled Ah Ming and walked to the other side of the cave, I was very surprised, and hurriedly followed. It was a bit hot in the cavern, and there was a suffocating fire emanating from the fire pit, and as I passed through the huge furnace, I heard the furnace gurgling, and I didn't know what was being smelted in the furnace. This old man named Ah Ming is also very strange, it seems that the exquisite carvings in the passage were made by this person, and he is also a skillful person. But what is the matter with this moving wooden man?

Rounding the furnace, we came to a wooden platform on the other side of the cavern. This wooden platform is built on top of an iron plate, next to the wall, and is supported by six thick logs below. The wooden platform is divided into two layers, the middle has been connected by wooden steps, the wooden platform is very large and thick, there are more than ten zhang square circles.

We walked up to the second layer of the wooden platform, but we saw that there were more than a dozen large wooden boxes neatly placed on the second layer of the wooden platform. These large wooden boxes are also very large, about the size of a typical small pallet truck.

Ah Ming walked to a large wooden box, pointed to the wooden box, looked at me and said, "Gu Shaoxia, come, open this wooden box." ”

I endured the curiosity in my heart, nodded, walked to the wooden box, reached out and pulled out the wooden bolt on the wooden box, and grabbed the top of the wooden box lid with one hand to lift the wooden box cover, but I didn't want to lift it like this, so I couldn't lift the wooden cover, only raised a little gap.

I was stunned. With my current strength, let alone a wooden lid, I can easily lift even an iron lid, but I didn't even lift the wooden lid in front of me. I looked at Ah Ming, but saw him smile proudly: "Gu Shaoxia, the old man's organ is not as good as the organ of others, this wooden box is made of ironwood in the extreme north, and the weight is not ordinarily light." ”

This is the first time I've heard of it, I've heard Meng Hanyan say that there is cold iron in the far north, and the materials on the shadow chasing sword contain the cold iron of the extreme north. I don't know much about these materials for refining weapons, and I only know a few of them.

Ah Ming smiled again: "Don't underestimate this Arctic iron wood, but it is invulnerable, dozens of times heavier than ordinary iron lumps, this wooden box lid weighs at least three hundred catties, Gu Shaoxia has to use some force, otherwise it can't be opened." ”

I nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Saying this, I already had a rough idea in my heart, and immediately mentioned the internal force, and the mass of qi in my body slowly rotated, and a stream of internal qi poured out of it, heading straight to my whole body. My body was surrounded by internal qi, and my body was indescribably light, and I only felt that my whole body was full of strength.

Somehow, when my body was filled with your qi again, I couldn't help but think of the scene of fighting with the worm again, and my whole body shivered at this time. If there was a next time, I would never want to run into that group of worms again, and I would have stayed away if I could.

Holding the wooden box lid with both hands, the arm slammed into force, and the wooden box lid was slowly lifted by me, I have to say, the wooden box cover made by the Far North Iron Wood is really not light, around me to lift the internal force, lift the wooden box cover is still a little difficult. Gritting my teeth and exerting my arms, I slammed the lid of the wooden box open. But I heard the lid of the wooden box "bang" and fell on top of another wooden box.

As soon as the lid of the wooden box was opened, he heard Xiaoqing clapping his hands behind him and laughing: "Ah Ming, quickly take out the wooden man, let us open our eyes." ”

Ah Ming said: "Gu Shaoxia, please take out the things in the wooden box." ”

I wanted to open the lid of the wooden box and there was nothing wrong with me, and I was just about to withdraw my internal strength, but when I heard Ah Ming say this, I couldn't help but look into the wooden box. I saw that the wooden box was covered with weeds, and in the weeds was lying a person made of wood, this wooden man's arms and legs were very thin, thinner than ordinary people's arms and legs, the size of a seven or eight-year-old child, the color of the whole body was exactly the same as the color of the wooden box lid, the wood grain was all over it, the polishing was smooth and smooth, and the delicate was almost the same as the real thing.
