Although Shiquan Island is not as prosperous as Sanjian Island, it is better than there are many interesting gadgets. Many skilled craftsmen put their works on the stalls. There are countless all kinds of strange and weird things, which is very exciting.

"West Wind!" Bai Cangdong was happily shopping and bought many gadgets for Xi Xi. Suddenly he saw a familiar figure not far away and tried to call out.
"Brother Bai, why are you here?" The man turned around, and it turned out to be Chen Xifeng.
"I should ask you this. When we asked you and Li Yan to wait for us to come back on Wanglong Island, why did you two disappear after we came back?" Bai Cangdong said.
"Li Yan and I thought a lot on Wanglong Island. We can't go back to Daolun City, and we are not familiar with the sea. It may be difficult to survive in the future. It happened that the Great Sword Chamber of Commerce was recruiting people on Wanglong Island at that time, and the two of us
I went to the Jujian Merchant Guild immediately, intending to familiarize myself with the situation at sea first, but I didn’t have time to tell Brother Bai, I’m really sorry.” Chen Xifeng explained.
Bai Cangdong nodded: "It's good that you can cheer up. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me on Devil's Island."
"Of course. When we really can't survive in the future, we will go and seek refuge with you, Brother Bai. Then don't think we have low military power." Chen Xifeng's voice changed: "Brother Bai, why did you come to Shiquan Island?
?”
"You also know that I was sent by Earl Fenghua to take over Akiki Island, but there is no place for people to live on Akiki Island, so I want to find some craftsmen to go back and build a house on the island."
"That's easy. We have been following the Chamber of Commerce to Shiquan Island for several days, and we are quite familiar with the craftsmen on the island. I will take you to find some craftsmen with good skills."
"Xifeng, do you know who is the best builder on the island?" Bai Candong asked.
"Brother Bai, you really asked the right person. Our Jusword Chamber of Commerce came to Shiquan Island this time just to hire a master craftsman named Wu Zong. Master Wu is not only the most powerful construction craftsman on Shiquan Island.
He is still the most powerful master of shipbuilding, tool making, carving, etc. here, but that man has a bit of a weird temper. Our president has been here on Shiquan Island for so many days and spent a lot of effort, but he still can't get Master Wu to agree to come with him.
Let’s go back.”
"This is indeed interesting. Xifeng, please take us to meet the witch master." Bai Candong said while touching his chin.
"Hey, I'm a member of the Great Sword Merchant Guild now. I'll take you to find Master Wu. If the president sees it, he'll have to skin me. You just go there yourself. Master Wu lives in Xuanji Pavilion to the west. It's easy to find.
.”
"Haha, at worst, just follow me back to Evil Ghost Island. I'm afraid of what they will do. If Li Yan is on Shiquan Island, ask him to come out at night and we can get together." Bai Cangdong said with a smile.
"Here, Li Yan went to do some business with the president. He should be back in the evening. The two of us will treat Brother Bai to a drink at Xiaoyulou."
They made an appointment with Chen Xifeng on a time and place. Bai Cangdong and Feng Xian took Xixi and went straight to Xuanji Pavilion.
Xuanji Pavilion is really easy to find as Chen Xifeng said. There is no need to ask anyone. You can see a five-story octagonal building from a distance. It can be said that it stands out among the many small buildings with only two or three floors. The plaque above
What was written were the three vigorous and powerful characters of "Xuanji Pavilion".
"When guests come to our Xuanji Pavilion, they don't know what kind of craftsmen they are looking for. We have many craftsmen in Xuanji Pavilion, mainly in the three fields of construction, shipbuilding and sculpture. The craftsmanship of the craftsmen is absolutely incredible. They are all.
After being personally instructed by Master Wu, the work is guaranteed to satisfy the guests." Entering the Xuanji Pavilion, a waiter immediately came to greet you.
"We want to see Master Wu." Bai Candong said.
"Guests, I know how you feel. Naturally, when you come to Xuanji Pavilion, you want to find Master Wu. However, after all, there is only one Master Wu, and there are too many people who need Master Wu. Master Wu can't be busy by himself.
Yes, and the cost of hiring Master Wu is also very high. If it is not necessary, can I recommend some craftsmen with good skills and cheap workmanship to the guests?"
"A job that pays for tens of thousands of years of life. I wonder if there is a chance to invite Master Wu to do it himself?" Bai Candong pondered.
"It's a job that lasts for tens of thousands of years. I really can't make the decision. Please wait a moment while I ask the shopkeeper for instructions." The waiter hurried over and brought another person over soon.
"My Excellency, Liu Zheng, does the guest who is currently the shopkeeper of Xuanji Pavilion want to come to our Xuanji Pavilion for a job that lasts for tens of thousands of years?" Shopkeeper Liu invited Bai Cangdong and the others into a single room and asked the waiter to serve tea.
"We want to ask Master Wu to take action." Bai Candong said.
"It's a job that lasts for tens of thousands of years. It's too little or too much. It's still a bit difficult to ask Master Wu to do it. I wonder if the customer is planning to build a ship?" Shopkeeper Liu asked.
"No, I just want to build a building." Bai Cangdong replied.
"So that's it. If it's not just a ship but a building, I can make the decision and help the guests to ask Master Wu. But whether Master Wu wants to see you or not, I can't make the decision."
"Thank you, shopkeeper Liu."
"Please wait a moment if you don't dare."
After shopkeeper Liu left the private room, he returned to the private room in less than three quarters of an hour.
"Guests, please come with me. Master Wu has agreed to see you."
Bai Cangdong hugged Xixi and followed Shopkeeper Liu until they reached the top floor of Xuanji Pavilion. Shopkeeper Liu said outside the room: "Master Wu's guests are here."
"Let them come in." The voice of an ordinary man cannot be said to be good or bad, but there is a sense of impatience in the voice, and the owner of the voice seems to be in a bad mood.
"You want me to build a building?" After Bai Cangdong entered, before he could say anything, the man who was playing with a piece of wood asked directly.
"Not bad." Bai Candong looked at Master Wu. He couldn't tell his age, and his figure was a bit thin, but he was tall and had very long arms and fingers.
"Where will the building be built, how big will it be, and what materials will be used?" Master Wu asked three questions in one breath, but he still hasn't looked at Bai Cangdong. He just keeps playing with the piece of wood, looking left and right.
I don't know what I'm looking at.
At least in Bai Candong's view, it was just a very ordinary piece of wood, just like most newly sawn wood, long and square, there was no difference.
Bai Candong was about to answer Master Wu's question, but Master Wu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Bai Candong from speaking. Then he took out one of the carving knives from a row of different sizes and started carving on the wood.
Bai Candong and Feng Xian looked at each other, and could only watch Master Wu carving the wood in silence.
Master Wu's carving speed was very fast. The carving knife never stopped from the beginning to the end. Even when changing the carving knife, Master Wu would use his other hand to turn the wood, and in the blink of an eye, he carved a piece of wood into a lifelike piece of wood.
statue of woman.
After finishing, Master Wu just took a look, suddenly picked up the hammer and chisel next to him, and instantly smashed the female statue to pieces.
"Do you still remember the three questions I just asked you?" Master Wu seemed to have calmed down a lot. He sat down, put his hands on the table and looked at Bai Candong and asked.
"I want to build a bamboo building on Evil Ghost Island. The bigger and taller the better." Bai Candong said lightly.
"You came to Xuanji Pavilion to find me just to ask me to help you build a bamboo building?" A slight anger appeared on Master Wu's face.
"Is there anything wrong with this?" Bai Cangdong asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's wrong. How can a master-level craftsman like Master Wu have time to build a bamboo house?" A man walked in through the door and said to Master Wu with a smile on his face: "Master, I went back yesterday and thought carefully about it.
After thinking about it, I decided to agree to the master’s conditions and ask the master to build a warship for our Great Sword Merchant Guild.”
"Are you willing to use iron nanmu?" Master Wu's eyes lit up.
"I have sent people to Ironwood Island early this morning to buy ironnan wood that is more than a century old." Guild Master Jusword said.
"Okay." Master Wu said repeatedly.
"Master Wu, we should be the ones who came first. It's not good for you, right?" Bai Cangdong frowned.
"Building a small bamboo house doesn't require my help from Wu Zong. Don't be nagging. I'll just find a junior with good skills to build the bamboo house for you." Wu Zong waved his hand impatiently.
"We come to you, naturally because we want you to take action. If we need your descendants, why should we come to you? And we are talking to you. Even if you are not willing to work for us, you must reject us before talking to others.
, What you are doing now is not like a master, and how is it different from such a vulgar businessman." Bai Cangdong said coldly.
"You are so bold that you actually deal with Master Wu." Guild Master Jusword said angrily.
Wu Zong laughed: "It is true that I did something wrong. As for the master, it is just someone else who praises me. However, although I dare not claim to be a master, but building a mere bamboo building, let alone
I’m sorry, even my juniors who have little success in craftsmanship are overqualified to build bamboo houses. Well, in order to express my apology, I will send one of my juniors with the best construction skills to build the bamboo house with you.”
Bai Cangdong snorted coldly: "Some people think they are great when they have a small achievement and don't take everything seriously. Even if people like you are somewhat capable, they will definitely not be able to reach the top. It seems that this time I
We came to the wrong place. Master Wu is just a false name, let’s go find the real master.”
Wu Zong was not angry and said calmly: "I am not boasting. In terms of architecture, shipbuilding and sculpture, on this Shiquan Island, people can surpass me. Even if I am going to recommend it to your descendants, their architecture is among the best."
Art can also be ranked among the top three on the island. Young people should not be too impulsive." To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (. Vote for recommendation, monthly vote,
