Li Moyan had never heard of the word "maker". The word "maker" he could understand was limited to "made in a". Obviously, the word "maker" in Abeldra's words did not mean that.
Li Moyan subconsciously looked back at Lu Shiyue. The latter did not stay, but followed Ma Changxing back to the watchtower. He must have sensed something was wrong.
"That... the duck neck is so spicy, why don't you go back first..." Li Moyan scratched his head and forgot the boy's name for a moment.
"Abeldra." Abeldra smiled charmingly, with a Western gentlemanly demeanor.
"Oh, Abeldra, you and I are both young people, and I won't beat around the bush with you. Sister Murong, I advise you to stop thinking about her. She is not someone you can pursue." As the saying goes, stretch out your hand.
He didn't want to hit anyone with a smiley face, so Li Moyan also squatted on the ground and patiently enlightened Kia Beldra.
This was not because he felt uncomfortable. The main reason was that Abeldra had chased him from Xi'an to the Thirteenth Institute, which made him feel that it was necessary to talk to this foreign guy and put an end to his idea as soon as possible.
"Why?" Abeldra sat up from the ground with a confused look on his face. His pure white suit was already covered in dust. He simply sat on the floor without caring. He took out a box of cigars from his pocket and handed one to Li Moyan.
Li Moyan waved his hand, took out his own cigarettes, handed one to Abeldra and said, "I can't get used to your Chinese cigarettes, do you want one?"
Abedra immediately took it happily.
"This Murong, he has a master, and this master is not an ordinary person. Did you see that he beat your old man just now? The master of Murong's family can beat three old men." Li Moyan said this too.
Feeling guilty, he had no idea about the true strength of Yuan Cheng and Ma Changxing, but in order to make Abeldra give up, he boasted a lot.
Hearing this, Abeldra glanced at the watchtower and suddenly asked, "Is Murong married?"
"That's not true..."
"That's okay!" Abeldra interrupted Li Moyan's next words and said happily: "Friend, I will not give up. As long as she is not married, I will have a chance!" Then she seemed to think of something and said again:
"It doesn't matter even if you get married."
This sentence made Li Moyan stare. Abeldra got up from the ground, took a look at his clothes, and said with a slight disappointment: "The clothes are already dirty. You can't see Murong like this. I will go back today."
If you see her, please tell her and I will come again."
After watching Abeldra and his party leave, Li Moyan was thinking: Is this kid mentally ill and hasn't he been beaten enough?
Turning back to the watchtower, Ma Changxing lowered his head and wiped the jade pendant in his hand, carefully and carefully. When he heard Li Moyan entering the room, he looked up.
From Ma Changxing's eyes, Li Moyan saw a lot of meaning, which was very complicated, like an abyss full of stories, even if it was out of reach, he could still have a slight understanding of it.
"Drink something tonight?" Li Moyan handed over a cigarette and said simply and clearly.
Ma Changxing took the cigarette, put the jade pendant into his arms, and responded in a serious tone: "Drink some!"
In the evening, Li Moyan and Lu Shiyue followed Ma Changxing to a very small hotpot restaurant. They originally wanted to call Xiao Zhang, but the guy was too far away, so he didn't come.
As soon as Ma Changxing entered the hot pot restaurant, he shouted loudly: "Xiaohu, I'm here."
Hearing this sentence, the curtain in the kitchen was lifted up, revealing a picture with Ma Changxingnian.
He smiled at him with a similar old face and said, "Wait a moment, I'll be done with my job soon." Judging from his tone, Ma Changxing should be a regular visitor here.
After Ma Changxing got the reply, he led Li Moyan and Lu Shiyue to find a seat in the corner and sit down. It was said to be a corner. There were a total of four tables in the whole store, and each of them could be considered a corner.
There were no other customers in the shop. The old man named Xiaohu just now seemed to be preparing the dishes. Ma Changxing saw Li Moyan glance at the kitchen and said with a smile: "That's just because I was little. I've been called Xiaohu all my life. I'm used to it."
"Then what did he call you?"
"Xiao Ma, why are you here? I was thinking that since you haven't been here for the past two days, I went to your house to look for you." Xiao Hu rubbed his hands on his apron and walked out. By the way, Ma Changxing answered this question.
Li Moyan raised his eyes and said, "Don't these two brothers think they are quite young?"
"Here, let me introduce you to a little brother. This is a young man from my work. His name is Li Moyan. He brought you all the good wine and cigarettes before. He is very kind to me. This... his girlfriend
, called Lu... Lu..." Ma Changxing blushed, looking a little embarrassed.
"Hello, uncle, I am also a colleague of Uncle Ma's work. My name is Lu Shiyue." Lu Shiyue smiled, not minding Ma Changxing's bad memory.
"Oh, yes, Lu Shiyue, I'm old and my memory is bad." He didn't care, Ma Changxing still had to find a way out for himself.
"Hello, Uncle Tiger." Li Moyan also hurriedly said hello, but when he blurted out this title, he felt like a mountain king.
"Hey, okay, Xiao Ma, I haven't seen you bring friends over since Yue Qin left. After all these years, I'm finally able to bring friends over. I'm also happy. Let's have a nice drink tonight!"
He looked at Lu Shiyue with a smile and said, "Little girl, do you mind?" He naturally meant something. After all, he had preconceived ideas and already thought that she was Li Moyan's girlfriend. The sentence "we" just now included Li Moyan, so
I still need to ask my girlfriend for advice.
Lu Shiyue smiled at him and said: "It's okay, just be happy." In his words, there was no explanation that he and Li Moyan were not boyfriend and girlfriend, and he was too lazy to explain.
"Hey, you are so nice and sensible, Xiao Li, this girl is so good." Xiao Hu smiled and turned around to grab two bottles of good wine from the shelf and serve it to the table.
Li Moyan thought to himself: "Where are these? Why did we become girlfriends? You, Lu Shiyue, too. Please explain. Is it possible that you really like me?"
Although the restaurant is small, everything is ready-made. An aunt in the restaurant quickly filled the table. She must be Xiaohu's wife.
"Brothers and sisters, come and have something to eat together." Ma Changxing greeted.
The aunt smiled and said: "I have a lot of work behind me, you can eat." After saying that, she raised the curtain and went into the kitchen.
Xiaohu pursed his lips and said: "When men eat, what table should women go to?" But suddenly he remembered that there was a lady at the table, and he hurriedly explained awkwardly: "I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about your aunt, where is your aunt?
.”
Lu Shiyue could only smile awkwardly.
The base of the hot pot was prepared by Xiaohu himself. Li Moyan and Lu Shiyue were full of praise for the taste. Xiaohu also seemed extremely proud. The whole shop was filled with the aroma and hazy heat of the hot pot.
After drinking for three rounds, Xiaohu also asked: "Are you two also working in the association?" After getting their answers, he continued to ask: "Then you two are also working in the association?"
Alien?"
Li Moyan was lowering his head to eat food. When he heard this question, he stopped and looked at Ma Changxing. The latter smiled and said: "It's okay, we are all our own. Xiaohu can be considered a stranger, but his breath is too weak."
Xiaohu took over the conversation with a smile: "I can't compare to Xiaoma. Xiaoma is a genius. As for me, I can only use this little energy in the kitchen."
Lu Shiyue smiled and said, "But Uncle Tiger, the base you make is really delicious. Do you have a specialty in the art?"
Xiaohu smiled so hard that he could hardly find his eyes: "As long as you like it, come often if you like it!"
Li Moyan put down his chopsticks at this time. There was a question that had been holding in his mind for a day. Taking advantage of the pleasant conversation, he had to ask: "Uncle Ma, what does maker mean?"
As soon as these words came out, the two old men at the table stopped smiling, looked at each other, and fell into silence. Although Li Moyan didn't understand what was going on, he still felt that there was some inevitable connection between them.
Xiaohu looked down at the "guzzling" hot pot with a blushing face, and ate the vegetables. Ma Changxing was silent for a long time, and under the curious eyes of Li Moyan and Lu Shiyue, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then told his story.
.
Fifty years ago, Ma Changxing was seventeen years old. That year, he joined the association.
His joining caused a sensation in the Thirteen Institutes, not for anything else but simply because of Ma Changxing's special abilities. He was an weapon refiner and was unique even among strangers.
Weapon refiners, also known as makers in Abeldra's words, are people who do not have strong combat abilities, but they have an ability that others cannot imitate - weapon refining.
The difference between this type of people and other aliens is that the "Jing" in "Jing Qi Shen" is extremely powerful. It is so powerful that it can cultivate its own Qi into objects, making the objects have life-like vitality. Of course, this is far from it.
It is far from enough. As a qualified weapon refiner, you need exquisite control of the five elements and a large amount of Qi. These three points are indispensable.
The power of Jing gives them the ability to give life to objects, their exquisite control of the five elements allows them to refine objects of any material, and the huge Qi can support them in refining weapons for a long time. Therefore, the weapon refiner
, is an absolutely rare profession.
Weapon refining, the word "refining", as the name suggests, means refining, but the weapons mentioned here are not weapons. The weapons refined by the hands of the weapon refiner had a name that no one knew in ancient times -
magic weapon.
Throughout the ages, countless well-known magic weapons, without exception, are all made by weapon refiners. Of course, the level of the weapon refiner varies, and the power of the materials is also different, so there are countless magic weapons with different abilities.
Ma Changxing joined the Thirteenth Institute as a weapon refiner, and also showed his impressive talent. Ma Changxing was very prosperous back then.
For such a young weapon refiner, he has little experience in the art of weapon refinement and will not reach any great heights. However, Ma Changxing is an exception. As long as he can get the materials, he can refine magic weapons with a very low loss rate.
.
In order to retain Ma Changxing, the Thirteenth Institute did not even dare to report to the headquarters, because the Thirteenth Institute knew that once reported, it would be impossible to retain Ma Changxing at the level of the Thirteenth Institute.
It is said that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Ma Changxing is very happy in the Thirteenth Institute. He is very interested in weapon refining. With the support of the Thirteenth Institute, he continues to show his amazing talent.
