Chapter 149: Incident/p>

"It's okay. Since Zhu Feng said so, why not let you try it first. If it doesn't work, we will consider it again." Zhou Yutian said, although Wanbaotang is famous in Qianshan Town, its actual effect is not

It's not high. Even if he lets go, Zhou Yutian won't worry about losing anything./p>

"But, I -" Bai Chen still wanted to refuse, but Zhu Feng interrupted him first, "Bai Chen is not only a good blacksmith, but also good at all kinds of fine workmanship and woodworking. Wanbaotang was originally only responsible for blacksmithing.

, the processing of gold and silver jewelry that was later expanded was proposed by him. This person is definitely capable of taking charge of Wanbaotang."/p>

"I know about this gold and silver jewelry, but what do you mean by this wooden mechanism?" Zhou Yutian couldn't help but become curious./p>

"Quick, quick, take out the thing you made a few days ago and show it to the prince." Zhu Feng immediately urged after hearing this./p>

"Yes, yes, yes." Hearing this, Bai Chen also looked excited and ran over quickly./p>

"Your Majesty, this Bai Chen is definitely a capable man, his craftsmanship is truly unparalleled." Zhu Feng said, "In Qianshan Town, the weapons I made and the gold and silver ornaments he made are both unparalleled, occupying the entire town.

The market in Qianshan Town."/p>

During the conversation, Bai Chen had already hurriedly brought the things over. Bai Chen had no interest in practicing, but he only liked making these wooden mechanisms. The reason why he chose the job of blacksmith was also because of this reason, because

You can study these things you like in your free time./p>

The thing Bai Chen held was a palm-sized wooden carving. On the wooden base, a wooden man wielded a sledgehammer and struck a small piece of iron in front of him. There was a wooden stove next to it.

It reveals a red light and clearly depicts the scene of the blacksmith's work./p>

The carving of this wooden figure is lifelike, including the figure's head and clothes, which are carved bit by bit from wood. The technique can be said to be very delicate. The blacksmith furnace next to it is like a direct reduction of the real blacksmith furnace, and the workmanship

Very sophisticated./p>

"The carving is quite good, it should be said to be a work of art." Zhou Wutian said, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After all, Zhou Wutian is the king of Zhou Dynasty. The craftsmanship of Zhou Dynasty's skilled craftsmen is much higher than this, let alone

Let’s talk about the sculptures that came as tribute from various places./p>

"Your Majesty, this thing is both well-made and unique." As Zhu Feng spoke, he quickly urged Bai Chen to demonstrate./p>

"Oh? Quickly demonstrate." Zhou Kutian didn't see anything special about this object. Because he had seen this kind of carvings many times, Zhou Kutian didn't use his consciousness to scan it, so he didn't find anything hidden in it./p

>

Hearing this, Bai Chen immediately took out a key, inserted it into the carving furnace and turned it a few times. Then, the blacksmith who was carving actually picked up the sledgehammer in his hand and began to hit the piece of pig iron in front of him hard.

That hammer is also made of iron,

Therefore, when it is struck on the pig iron, it makes a crisp sound. This carving is originally lifelike, and in the process of knocking, the little man in the wood carving still stops and fiddles with the pig iron in front of him. This action is just like a living thing.

/p>

This scene couldn't help but make Zhou Yutian a little surprised, because Zhou Yutian discovered through consciousness scanning that there were no patterns or magic circles in this carving, and it was entirely driven by the string springs to make the wood carving move. However, in this

In the carving, there are dozens of tiny parts on the upper and lower parts that cooperate with each other to make the blacksmithing action come to life./p>

"This thing is so amazingly made, but I don't know what its use is?" Zhou Yutian asked, looking at the carving in front of him./p>

Zhou Yutian's question immediately stopped Bai Chen. Yes, this woodcut is wonderful, but in terms of practical use, it seems to have only ornamental value. Moreover, the things represented by this woodcut rely on patterns and methods.

The formation can also be done. Compared with this woodcut, the cost of using patterns and magic formations is much less./p>

If it is used for sales, its high cost is obviously not acceptable to ordinary people. If you just go and take a look, I am afraid many people will not hesitate to speak about this item and praise its ingenuity and exquisiteness. But if it is

If you spend money to buy it, I'm afraid only some people with special interests will be willing to buy it./p>

"This -" Bai Chen, who was originally a little excited, suddenly lost his excitement and didn't know how to answer. Zhu Feng on the side also kept thinking about the use of this thing, but he really couldn't think of what it did./

p>

"I'm curious, where did you learn these things?" Zhou Yutian saw the two of them in distress and immediately changed the subject./p>

"These are handed down from my ancestors." Bai Chen said, "There are many books and things about these things at home. I read them since I was a child, so I learned some things. However, because these things have no use, so

It’s gone.” At this point, Bai Chen’s words couldn’t help but become lonely./p>

Hearing this, Zhou Yutian felt something keenly. Since Bai Chen's craft was handed down from his ancestors, it must have developed over a period of time, and it must have had a very clever effect at that time, otherwise it would never have been passed down for such a long time.

Time./p>

"Does your family only inherit this little skill? Is there nothing else?" Zhou Yutian asked./p>

"No, this thing was taught to me by my ancestors." Bai Chen said, "However, because this thing cannot support the family, no one has learned it since my grandfather's generation."/p>

"Ancestor? I wonder which generation of ancestor you are talking about?" Zhou Yutian asked./p>

"He is my grandfather's father." Bai Chen said, "Two days ago, he made a very delicate bird. The workmanship is many times more exquisite than mine."/p>

"Is your ancestor also a cultivator?" Zhou Kutian asked./p>

"Probably not, because if our ancestor was a cultivator, our family would not have fallen to that point." Bai Chen said./p>

"Can I go meet your ancestors?" Zhou Yutian asked, obviously not believing what Bai Chen said. Bai Chen looked like he must be nearly thirty. Even if his family members married and had children at the age of ten,

His ancestor is also over sixty. An ordinary person would not live to this age. But it would make sense if his ancestor was a cultivator./p>

However, Bai Chen did not admit it. He didn't know if it was his intention to conceal it or if there was another reason, so Zhou Yutian asked like this to test./p>

Hearing that Zhou Yutian wanted to meet his ancestors, Bai Chen agreed without hesitation, "Your Majesty, I will invite my ancestors here later." After saying that, he was about to leave./p>

"I feel sorry for bothering him so much." Zhou Yutian said, "How about I go visit with you?"/p>

"Of course you can, of course." Hearing that Zhou Kutian wanted to visit him, Bai Chen was a little excited and couldn't help but stutter when he spoke. In his opinion, being able to invite people like Zhou Kutian to his home would be a big deal for them.

For everyone, it is a great blessing./p>

"Your Majesty, what about me?" Zhu Feng asked quickly. Originally, Zhou Yutian was going to arrange a new job for him to make his ambitions flourish, but if he couldn't find a suitable successor for Wanbaotang, I'm afraid this matter would

So Zhu Feng was inevitably a little anxious./p>

"You just have to do the handover work first, and we'll talk about the rest when we get back." Zhou Yutian said, and followed Bai Chen out. After hearing this, Zhu Feng knew that the matter should basically be settled, and hurriedly went to sort out the details.

Various things happened in Wanbaotang./p>

Since Bai Chen was promoted to Yaoguang, he settled down in Qianshan Town, and his family also moved to the town. Therefore, the place where he lives is not very far from the Wanbaotang store, just a few steps away.

Arrive./p>

As soon as I left Wanbao Hall, I saw a woman hurriedly running towards me before I took a few steps. When I saw Bai Chen coming out, she kept waving. This kind of appearance attracted many passers-by to point their fingers.

Yes, there was even laughter./p>

Seeing this scene, Bai Chen looked ashamed and embarrassed to reprimand the woman in front of Zhou Wutian, so he explained to Zhou Wutian, "This is my wife. She is usually gentle and elegant, but she is acting like this today."

What kind of nerves make you laugh?"/p>

Hongmeng attaches great importance to women's three obediences and four virtues. This kind of thinking is not obvious among cultivators, because cultivators often focus on strength, but it is particularly obvious among ordinary people.

. Bai Chen didn’t have much time to become a cultivator, so this kind of thinking is naturally deep-rooted, so he feels ashamed, not to mention that in front of Zhou Kutian, this is simply a refutation of his face./p>

However, Zhou Yutian did not feel any discomfort. On the one hand, the customs in Xuming Continent were relatively open, and on the other hand, these useless old customs were abolished early. Because Xuming Continent pays attention to

Those who are capable will come first. As long as you have the ability, both men and women can make contributions and gain promotions./p>

Bai Chen's wife ran in front of Bai Chen. Because she was running too fiercely, she was hunched over and holding her knees, panting. In front of Zhou Wutian, Bai Chen couldn't do anything, so as not to leave a bad impression.

So I started to blame a few words and asked what happened./p>

After regaining his breath a little, Bai Chen's wife quickly told Bai Chen that his family ancestor suddenly jumped up from the bed earlier today, shouting "ancient trees, earth trees" or something, and then walked out.

He ran, but his family couldn't stop him, so he rushed out of the door./p>

"Grandpa said that our ancestors might have gone to the ancestral graves in our hometown, so they rented a car and rushed to our hometown." Bai Chen's wife said, "Because they were worried about something happening to our ancestors, they left first and asked me to come and inform you.

One sound."/p>

"Something happened suddenly at home. I'm afraid I can't entertain you today. Please come back to visit me another day." Bai Chen said with his hands raised. Bai Chen was a filial person. When he heard that something happened to his ancestor, he naturally didn't care about other things and hurriedly said goodbye to Zhou Yutian.

/p>

"It's okay, you should hurry up and deal with your affairs." Zhou Yutian said, "We'll talk about it another day when we visit."/p>

"I'm sorry." Bai Chen apologized with his hands in hand, then turned to his wife and said, "You stay here for a while, I will stop a carriage, and then we will go to my hometown immediately."/p>

"Master, Qiao'er is still at home, I can't worry." His wife said quickly./p>

"Is there no one else at home?" Bai Chen asked./p>

"Grandpa rushed to his hometown in a hurry. My father-in-law and mother-in-law were worried that something might happen to him, so they followed him. Now Qiaoer is the only one at home." His wife said quickly./p>

"Forget it, you can't help much if you are a woman, just go back and take care of Qiao'er." Bai Chen said, and immediately rushed to the rental agency./p>

"Master, be careful." His wife said, Bai Chen waved his hand not to worry, and hurried to the leasing shop./p>

Although Bai Chen has advanced to the Yaoguang level and can gather vitality, he is still in the early stage of Yaoguang, and his strength is only slightly higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, when rushing from Qianshan Town to his hometown, his walking speed is still

Can't compare to a fast horse. Bai Chen's hometown is Shanlang Village, located south of Qianshan Town and between Qianshan Town and Bai'e Town. Even if the horse drives fast, it will take two hours to reach it./p>

Zhou Wutian naturally didn't get involved in other people's family affairs, but these things happened suddenly, which made Zhou Wutian feel a little strange. However, after thinking about it, he didn't notice anything wrong, so Zhou Wutian stopped thinking about it and returned to Wanbaotang.

Among./p>

Seeing Zhou Yutian come back, Zhu Feng hurriedly greeted him, "The prince is back so soon. The handover work at hand has been completed. I don't know when the handover will be available."/p>

Seeing Zhu Feng's words, Zhou Yutian couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, but he could more or less understand Zhu Feng's mood. After all, if his strength improves by leaps and bounds, no one would want to be a blacksmith on the side./p>

"Something suddenly happened at Bai Chen's home, so I couldn't visit him today." Zhou Wutian stepped forward and found a seat to sit down on, then continued, "But you admire this person named Bai Chen so much, how much do you really know about him?
To be continued...
