Chapter three hundred and ninety first: the past

I saw a set of tools neatly placed in the box.

This set of tools contains dozens of items, large and small.

There are three small wooden hammers, large, medium and small in different models.

And there are more than ten files.

There are six or seven carved knives, with the blades ranging from large to small. They are polished black and have some traces of time on them, which makes them look like old items.

But the blades still shone with a cold light. I believe no one would doubt whether these carved knives were still sharp.

In addition, there are wire saws, small drills, and many other tools.

But what really caught my eye was not the tool itself.

But I actually felt a particularly strong spirit from this set of tools.

"Hey, it's pitiful to say the least. Every time I go to the City of Wasted Death to drink, I always see an old guy squatting not far away."

When Liao Qiu talked about this past event, his expression suddenly became sad.

The old guy was squatting on the street holding a box, looking around from time to time, as if waiting for someone else.

There were layers of wrinkles on his face due to the vicissitudes of life, and his eyes were almost blurred.

Once or twice, that's it, but Liao Qiu could see him every time he went to drink. Although in the underworld, there was nothing wrong if he didn't eat or drink.

But seeing the old man's pitiful look, he stepped forward and asked.

Only then did I realize that the old man was indeed waiting for someone, but he was not waiting for an ordinary person.

This old man is a jeweler. His ancestors have been jewelers for three generations, and the craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation.

But due to an accident, he died suddenly before he could pass on his skills.

He didn't want his craft to be discontinued.

So he stupidly waited here, unwilling to reincarnate, just waiting for someone who could trust him.

But who cares about this thing? In the underworld, who cares about this? Whatever jewelry Tutu and the others want, they can make it in any style just by pinching it a few times.

No jeweler is needed at all.

Perhaps as the last person to leave the underworld, Liao Qiu can also feel the pain of watching helplessly and the inheritance being cut off.

So he accepted the box.

The powerful spirituality in the box is the inheritance power of the old man.

"I see that your enchantment is similar to that of a jeweler in many ways. This thing should be of great help to you, even if it is a gift."

After Liao Qiu finished speaking, he looked at Ding Xiaoyi, as if waiting for his answer.

These two things are both good things for me.

Especially this set of tools, which seem to be simple tools, are endowed with an indescribable spirituality.

This kind of spirituality created a strong resonance in my heart.

I always feel like this thing is waiting for me.

In terms of value, in my heart, maybe this is a real treasure.

Take a deep breath and suppress the surging impulse in your heart.

He did not rush to answer Liao Qiu but asked: "What are you going to do with that Zhuoyou Pearl?"

Liao Qiu scratched his head: "Actually, I haven't thought about it either."

What Liao Qiu meant was to leave it to Tutu to handle the errands and then be done with it.

But just throwing things to her like this doesn't feel right.

Seeing Liao Qiu frowning in confusion, Ding Xiaoyi looked at the set of tools in front of him, and his heart moved: "I'll give you an idea, what do you think?"

"Huh!"

Liao Qiu looked at him in surprise.

"It doesn't show sincerity if you take that ball away and give it directly to someone else. How about I carve it for you and make it into a handicraft. She will like it and you have achieved your goal. How about it!"

As he said that, he picked up the carving knife in the box and said, "Just right, isn't this a ready-made tool?"

The carved knife suddenly flashed in Ding Xiaoyi's hand, as if he was cheering for finding a new successor.

"Sure, come as long as you are sure!"

Liao Qiu was also very happy. He felt that Ding Xiaoyi's proposal was good, so he handed everything over to him.

It just so happens to verify whether the inheritance of this set of tools is so magical.

After the two of them agreed, Ding Xiaoyi took out the Zhuo You Bead and walked towards his processing room holding it.

Liao Qiu sat by the door and watched. After all, this thing was just that. He was both curious and worried about what Ding Xiaoyi would carve it into.

Ding Xiaoyi took out the tools from the box and picked up the carving knife on the table. Suddenly, the spirituality of the tools seemed to be fused with his own body.

Immediately afterwards, a strange feeling came over me, as if I had done this kind of carving thousands of times.

His eyes flashed, and following this feeling, he dropped the carved knife on the Zhuoyou Pearl.

"Kakakaka..."

The sound of carving could be heard in the room.

Liao Qiu was still very nervous at first, but when he saw Ding Xiaoyi, who was like a god with help, he had already created an outline on Zhuo You Bead in just a few minutes.

Liao Qiu felt much relieved immediately.

A hammer, a knife, a broadsword, a board file... tools passed through my hands like a cloud.

The speed was staggering. With his fingers pressed against the blade, he quickly cut in one stroke after another. Both the angles and the lines of the cuts were terrifyingly precise.

On the one hand, it’s because of this set of tools, and on the other hand, it’s because of Ding Xiaoyi’s own experience honed in precision instrument processing over the years.

The combination of the two seemed to make his craftsmanship perfect at once.

But even so, such a large project is still very time-consuming.

After three hours of hard work, Ding Xiaoyi put down the tools in his hands and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's done!"

Liao Qiu, who was leaning against the wall, was almost asleep, but woke up suddenly when he heard these words.

I hurried over and took a look, and my eyes suddenly widened.

I saw a huge sphere placed in front of me.

But it's completely different from before.

The spherical surface of Zhuoyou Pearl is engraved with various relief patterns, and the scenery of mountains, rivers and water is dizzying.

Every detail is perfect..

But what is amazing is that the sphere is made up of several layers of hollow spheres, large and small, from the outside to the inside.

It looks like just a sphere from the outside, but there are layers within layers.

Each set of balls is engraved with exquisite and complex patterns.

This is called a ghost ball, also called a concentric ball.

Ding Xiaoyi is still very familiar with this thing. When he was in college, he would occasionally use a lathe to make some square craft balls.

So I clearly understand the manufacturing principle of this thing.

Doing it by hand is nothing more than a test of your eyesight and hand control.

I am not bad to begin with, and with the spiritual blessing of this set of tools, I can naturally achieve perfection.

"It's not over yet, look at this!"

Ding Xiaoyi turned it slightly a few times, and saw that the spheres inside rotated together, and in the end, they spliced ​​together a rose-like shape.

It's so lifelike, it's simply amazing.

"Okay, okay!!"

Liao Qiu applauded repeatedly, it was so clever that it could be called a work of art.

I even found a box for him and put the ghost ball inside.

"Xiao Yi, thank you very much for what happened this time. Without your skills, I'm afraid Tutu wouldn't be happy if I took it back!"

Seeing Liao Qiu's happy look, he finally couldn't help but feel curious and said: "Brother Qiu, what is your relationship with Tutu..."

Liao Qiu was stunned, slowly put down the box in his hand, and sighed: "It's actually not as complicated as you think. I am her subordinate."

"subordinate!!"

"Yes, technically she is a subordinate, but we have a contract and her binding force on me is not strong."

After listening to Liao Qiu's explanation.

The fire of gossip in Ding Xiaoyi's heart could hardly be stopped.

He stepped forward and said, "Brother Qiu, please tell me what is going on."

Maybe it was because he got a satisfactory gift or maybe he solved the task assigned by Tu Tu. Liao Qiu was in a good mood and simply sat on a chair nearby.

When Ding Xiaoyi saw that there was something going on, he hurriedly exchanged for the meat ball, took out the melon seeds, sat on the meat ball and waited.

I saw Liao Qiu slowly taking out a cigar from his arms.

He didn't light it, he just put it in front of his nose and took a few puffs before putting the cigar in front of him.

Looking towards the distance, where Ge Erdan was chatting with Mr. Chen out of boredom, his eyes suddenly felt a little guilty.

"What happened back then was actually my fault. If I hadn't reached for this cigarette, there wouldn't have been so much trouble..."
