Although this guy doesn't care about money, but if you have good wood, this guy is willing to do it for you even for nothing. Strictly speaking, this guy is a pure person who exists for art. In the last life, Master Mendou The highest work is a pagoda built with golden silk wood. The whole pagoda is engraved with magnificent patterns and symbols, as well as birds and beasts. It doesn't even count as the Houtian Lingbao, but it can be used to hit people, cover people, or defend!
What fascinates Xin Yun the most is that since it has been refined into a magic weapon, it can be freely expanded or reduced, and can be carried with you. Rested, and this palace has its own defenses, so I am not afraid of danger when sleeping.
The magic weapon made of golden thread wood is so powerful, if it is made of golden thread red sandalwood, combined with purple gold, green silver, red copper, blue iron, and green tin as materials, it can definitely be made into a magic weapon that can be carried with you. A fortified palace.
After visiting several woodware shops in a row, Xin Yun looked very carefully, but he still couldn't find the works of Master Mendou's style. Fortunately, there is still a long time, and there is plenty of time.
During the whole morning, Xin Yun and Yi Luoxiang kept wandering in the market. Master Mendou couldn't find it, but the daily necessities, as well as the girls' private items, clothing handkerchiefs, and daily necessities Yes, I bought quite a few.
In this incident, the original villa was directly destroyed, and all the daily necessities were directly smashed into dust before they could be taken out, so they had to be bought again. The things used by Master Westminster and the others are okay, but Mama Lan, Yi Luoxiang and the maid of Yizuka are girls after all, so how can the Five Rats buy the things they use!
The hard work paid off, and finally... After wandering for half a morning, Xin Yun finally found a set of exquisitely carved rosewood tables and chairs in an unremarkable woodware shop.
Master Mendou's works are very distinctive, one is fine, the other is that the lines of the works are natural and smooth, antique, the third is good at carving and inlaying, the carved flowers, birds, insects, fish, birds and animals are all lifelike... However, these are secondary, The most important thing is that the works of Master Mendou make people think of the word art involuntarily when they see it.
Turning around this set of tables and chairs with bright eyes, Xin Yun finally found the unique imprint of Master Mendou on a corner of the rosewood table. That's right... This is definitely the work of Master Mendou!
After confirming again and again, Xin Yun turned around excitedly, and said to the owner of the woodware shop, "Boss, how do you sell this set of tables and chairs?"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, the owner of the woodware shop ran over with a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Did the guest officer take a fancy to this wooden product? What a good eye, this is carved from rosewood, this rosewood..."
In the next two minutes, the owner of the woodware shop eloquently introduced the benefits of this set of tables and chairs, but from the beginning to the end, he always focused on the advantages of rosewood wood, as well as the shape and carving skills of this set of tables and chairs, and never mentioned it. The name of Master Pocket. In the end... this set of tables and chairs insisted on a price of one million gold, of course... the price can be negotiated.
Looking at the set of tables and chairs in front of him, Xin Yun couldn't help sighing, now...Master Mendou's name has not yet been revealed, if this is put in the future, the price of one million probably won't even be able to buy a stool leg.
After pondering for a while, Xin Yun said decisively: "Okay, although the price is a bit high, it's not too high, how about it... You let me meet the craftsman who made this set of tables and chairs, and I will buy it." !"
Faced with Xin Yun's request, the store owner was taken aback for a moment, then nodded repeatedly to indicate that it was okay, then turned around and walked to the counter, muttering something to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who nodded and quickly Turned around and ran towards the backyard.
Soon, a stout man with a scent of wood flowers came in under the leadership of the boy. Seeing this scene, Xin Yun frowned fiercely. This is definitely not Master Mendou!
While thinking about it, the owner of the woodware shop grabbed the thick man's arm, walked up to Xin Yun and said, "This guest officer, this is the master maker of this set of tables and chairs!"
"Oh!" Frowning, Xin Yun said with a half-smile, "I don't know, what's the name of this master?"
Hearing Xin Yun's question, the man said harshly, "I'm Ah Tie, but this set of tables and chairs is not..."
Before the man finished speaking, the owner of the woodware shop yanked him and said loudly: "Okay, Tie, there is still a lot of work to do, hurry back..."
He looked at the shop owner in astonishment, the thick man nodded blankly, turned around and was about to leave, seeing this scene, Xin Yun sneered, and said to the shop owner: "It's not good for you to do this, it's obviously a deception Guest, he is definitely not the maker of this table one!"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, the store owner opened his mouth abruptly, trying to defend himself. Seeing this scene, Xin Yun raised his hand abruptly, and said decisively: "Don't be sloppy with me, to tell you the truth, I know this table one. Maker, just now I have discovered his unique imprint on the wooden utensils, so... "
Having said that, Xin Yun paused for a moment, reached into his arms, took out the gold card and said, "Well, as long as you can find him for me, I will pay double the price to buy this set of wooden utensils!"
Hearing Xin Yun's words, the burly man named Ah Tie pouted contemptuously, and said disdainfully: "He also said that our boss is lying, and you are not much better. He also said that you know him, but he just Standing in front of you, but you still have to look for it, it's ridiculous..." After speaking, Ah Tie shook his head, ignored Xin Yun, turned and walked towards the back door.
"What!" Hearing Ah Tie's words, Xin Yun was completely stunned. Indeed... Although the name of Master Mendou is very famous, Xin Yun has never really met him, but only heard about it from others. Obviously...Master Mendou is not what Ah Tie looks like. But now, Ah Tie actually said that Master Mendou was in front of him, so... could it be!
While thinking about it, Xin Yun stared blankly at the owner of the woodware shop, um... Although he gained a little weight, and even though his face was a little fleshier, in general, he was quite similar to the legendary Master Mendou!
With a wry smile, Xin Yun shook his head and said, "Why do you do this? Since you are Master Mendou, why bother to find other people to lie to me? You have no malicious intentions. I just want you to help me make something."
"Wait!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, the owner of the woodware shop was sweating profusely, and said with a wry smile, "I'm not the Mendou master you're looking for, Mendou is my son..."
While speaking, the owner of the woodware shop grabbed the ten-year-old boy and said with a wry smile, "He is the door pocket and the maker of this set of tables and chairs."
"Ah ga..." Listening to the words of the owner of the woodware shop, and looking at the boy in front of him who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, Xin Yun was completely speechless, he was Mendou!
Swallowing with difficulty, Xin Yun looked at the owner of the woodware shop foolishly and said, "Since he is Mendou, then why do you drag that guy named Ah Tie out and introduce him to me directly?" ?”
Facing Xin Yun's question, the owner of the woodware shop smiled bitterly and said, "It's easy to say, but if I push such a brat in front of you and say that this set of woodenware is made by him, will you believe it?"
"Me! This..." Hearing what the owner of the woodware shop said, Xin Yun finally understood, yes... This kid who looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, although he looks smart, but if he is the one who made this set of woodenware, Nine out of ten people didn't believe it, but Xin Yun believed it, not because of anything else, just because of the confident light in the boy's eyes!
Facing Xin Yun's gaze, the little boy smiled slightly and said, "Don't look at me as small, I'm actually bigger than you, it's just... I inhaled the aroma of agarwood when I was making wooden utensils more than 20 years ago. , and then inhaled the aroma of green wave incense wood, and as a result, my growth slowed down, and after more than twenty years, my body has only changed from ten years old to twelve years old."
Hearing Master Mendou's words, Xin Yun finally came to a realization. Feelings... This guy looks like a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, but in fact, he is already thirty-three or fourteen years old, but he just looks young.
While thinking, Mendou said calmly: "Are you here specifically to find me to make something? What are you going to do?"
Hearing the words of the door pocket, Xin Yunmeng came back to his senses, subconsciously said: "Well... I am here this time, mainly to ask you to help me build a wooden villa, look..."
"What? A wooden villa!" Hearing what Xin Yun said, Mendou couldn't help being dumbfounded!
Dazed for a moment, Master Mendou shook his head decisively and said, "Are you kidding me? I'm a carpenter. I can make furniture and carve works of art, but when it comes to building villas, I wonder if you're looking for the wrong person!"
"En?" Hearing Mendou's words, Xin Yun frowned suspiciously, could it be that he remembered it wrong? Master Mendou won't build villas! But this is wrong! According to others, it is clearly the work of Master Mendou.
Just as he was wondering, the owner of the woodware shop interjected: "Guest officer, did you remember wrongly? I understand my son. He doesn't know how to build villas. He has never touched it. Even if he is willing to help, there is nothing he can do. Build it."
"Enenen..." Hearing what Dad said, Mendou nodded again and again: "You are looking for my grandpa, he is an expert in building buildings with wood, but... he has retired and no longer helps others Made something."
"Your grandpa!" Hearing Mendou's words, Xin Yun was completely dumbfounded, why did another grandpa come out, and this Mendou can't build a villa again, what's going on
Seeing Xin Yun's horrified expression, Mendou said with bright eyes: "Let me tell you, my grandfather is very famous. When it comes to Mendou Master, he is not only exquisite in craftsmanship, but also very powerful. He is an Amethyst class Oh master!"
"Wait!" Hearing Mendou's words, Xin Yun was taken aback for a moment, then interrupted him abruptly, and said eagerly, "What did you say your grandfather's name was? Also called Mendou?"
"No, no..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Mendou shook his head violently and said, "My grandfather's name is Mendou, and it's Dou for fighting, not me. Back then, he was also dignified..."
Without carefully listening to Mendou's excited narration, Xin Yun understood a lot of things in his heart instantly. Before, he only heard that there was a Mendou Master. The name was quite strange, so the memory was so deep that others said that this building was Mendou Master. His work, he subconsciously thought it was the Mendou, but in fact, the building was the work of a master of Mendou, one master and two masters, although they sounded the same, they were one Dou, one pocket, and one who was good at making Furniture and artwork, one that specializes in wooden construction, are two completely different things.
While thinking, Xin Yun swallowed hard and said: "Well, I don't know if I can invite Master Dou, I want to ask him to help me build a villa, look..."
"And..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Mendou said unceremoniously: "Don't be stupid, my grandfather stopped building villas for others thirty years ago, so how can he be a master of the Amethyst rank? You can go around and build villas for people.”
"En..." Hearing Mendou's words, the owner of the woodware shop nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Men is the ancestor of our family, and now he is too old to build any villa for you, so you Or find someone else."
Hearing what the two said, Xin Yun couldn't help but frowned. If it was someone else, maybe he should have left at this time, but Xin Yun knew that the Mendou master would definitely not retire just like that, and would still build it after many years. What about the golden silk wooden tower, how could it be possible to retire! It's just that they didn't want to disturb him.
While thinking, Xin Yun frowned and said: "Is this what you mean or what they mean? I guess... this is probably your wishful thinking. Do you think that he is getting old and you don't want him to continue to work hard?" , but I want to tell you that a warrior will never grow old, as long as he has a breath, he is still a warrior and will never rest, so I think it is best for you not to decide on his behalf. Anything, as an Amethyst-level master, he has the right and the ability to decide anything about himself!"
"Okay!" Just as Xin Yun finished speaking, there was a sudden and forceful shout from the back door of the shop. Hearing this sound, several people turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the back door.
As far as the eye can see, an old man with white beard and hair, but with an unusually strong spirit, is stepping in boldly. From the appearance alone, he is at least a hundred years old, but if you only look at the spirit, he is definitely younger than him. The spirit of people is still coming!
Looking deeply at this hale and hearty old man, judging from the aura exuding from him, this is really a master of the Amethyst rank, and I am afraid that his strength is still very high, and he is not too far away from the Diamond rank.
However, the Amethyst level is the Amethyst level. With his physical condition, it is impossible to reach the Diamond level in this life. It is not a matter of talent and aptitude, and it has nothing to do with potential. He spends too much time on building wooden buildings. No, the cultivation has been delayed, and now his body has begun to age, and his strength will not only fail to improve, but will continue to regress.
People are like this, they will always be born, old, sick, and die. After reaching a certain level, all the qualities of the body will decline. If you can’t reach the diamond level before the age of 30, your body will start to age. No matter how hard you practice, you can’t overcome this. Natural aging, and eventually death.
However, as long as one reaches the diamond level before the age of 30, one's lifespan will be greatly extended, and living to a thousand or eight hundred years old is just a matter of leisure.
Although Master Mendou is now an amethyst rank master and can live for thirty or forty years, but he will never reach the diamond rank, his strength is declining every day as his body ages, irreversible.
While Xin Yun was observing, the hale and hearty old man said loudly: "That's right, little guy, that's right... As long as there is still one breath left, we, Mendou, are a fighter and can decide anything."
Speaking of this, Master Mendou paused, and then continued: "However, although what you said is very reasonable, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for me to go out and build a villa for you."
Hearing Master Mendou's words, Xin Yun laughed and said: "Since I dare to come, I am absolutely sure that I can invite you. I believe... the terms I offer are absolutely irresistible to you."
"Oh!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, Master Mendou's eyes could not help but brighten, and he said with interest: "Really? Then I would like to hear what kind of building you want to build and the conditions offered What is it again?"
Smiling slightly, Xin Yun did not say much, and directly pulled out a piece of golden silk rosewood, and placed it gently on the table in front of him. Seeing this scene, not only Master Mendou, but also Mendou and the shop owner Stunned, he rushed over and looked at the legendary wood with ecstasy.
Sighing, Master Mendou lightly stroked the golden rosewood and said: "Is this the betrothal gift you gave me? I have to admit that I cannot refuse your invitation, this..."
"No, no, no..." Hearing Master Mendou's words, Xin Yun violently shook his head and said, "That's not true, this is not your hiring fee, what I mean is, I want to use this kind of wood to build a villa. "
"Ah!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, the three people on the opposite side opened their mouths wide open, unable to utter a word. You must know... this golden rosewood is the most expensive and precious wood, and ordinary people get a piece. They can all be used as family heirlooms. Even the richest people can have a piece of furniture made of rosewood with golden threads in their homes. As for building villas with rosewood with golden threads, let alone even heard of it. Having said that, I am afraid that such a building can only be seen in dreams.
Looking at the horrified eyes of the three, Xin Yun smiled and said: "As for the fee for hiring you, it is to stop your body from aging. Although you can't restore your youth, your body will definitely not continue to age, and I can guarantee that as long as you If you work hard, at most ten years, you will definitely step into the realm of a diamond master!"
Facing the conditions offered by Xin Yun, Master Mendou did not refuse at all. Being able to build a palace made entirely of golden silk rosewood and fragrant wood with his own hands is an honor in itself. This golden silk rosewood incense wood belongs to the kind of thing that can be lost by cutting one piece. It is so rare now, and it will be even more difficult in the future.
As for what Xin Yun said about immortality, and raising it to the diamond level, Master Mendou actually didn't believe it, but... When Master Mendou followed Xin Yun to Huzhongtian, when he saw the spirit stones all over the mountains and plains, The overwhelmed fairy grass, as well as the rich aura that was about to condense, finally believed in Xin Yun's words.
Such a good place, of course, Master Mendou would not let it go, he directly dragged the door pocket in, and clamored to join Xin Yun's Ax Gang, not for anything else, just to live in this pot of heaven. If you live here for a long time, you can live forever.
Faced with Master Mendou's request, Xin Yun could not agree, so he agreed directly. Among the three generations of the Mendou family, Mendou was good at wooden buildings, Mendou was good at family manufacturing, and Mendou's father, Mendou's son, That is, the owner of the woodware shop is good at carving, whether it is architectural carvings, or carvings on tables and chairs, including direct carvings of artworks and statues, he is good at carving everything!
Together, father, son and grandson can meet any of your needs. It is worth mentioning that Mendou's father and Mendou's son are named Mendou. If you just listen to the pronunciation, they are exactly the same!
Mendou, Mendou, Mendou, I don't know what they thought, but they came up with names with such similar pronunciations, but for Xin Yun, it doesn't matter what they are called. In short... From now on, the three members of this family, Will become the ax to help the Queen's carpenter!
In order not to damage the environment, Xin Yun did not intend to use building materials such as jade to build the buildings in Huzhongtianzhong. Instead, he chose various kinds of wood as materials to build an antique pavilion. This is what Xin Yun yearned for. , and it will not destroy the environment here, and it is perfectly integrated with the entire environment.
After seeing the environment in Huzhongtian, Master Mendou, father and son, could not set off immediately. After joining the Axe Gang, there was really no need for the woodware shop to continue. It has been more than a hundred years, how can I still have the heart to run a wood shop!
As for the problem of money, this is not a problem. The most important thing for the Ax Gang is money, not to mention the harvest of the Five Rat Brothers. Just deduct a few yuan from the spirit stones in the pot and sell them. It is enough for everyone to live for tens of hundreds of years.
However, if you want to leave, after all, there are still many things to deal with. Many daily necessities, tools needed, and things passed down from ancestors that cannot be discarded at will must be sorted out. Xin Yun and the three agreed that today At ten o'clock in the evening, I will pick them up here.
After finishing everything, when Xin Yun and Yi Luoxiang rushed to Piaomiao Hotel, Mingxuan and Yan Qingying had already been waiting there. Although they waited for a long time, they didn't show any impatience , Judging from the expressions on their faces, they have gained a lot today.
Sure enough, as soon as Xin Yun sat down, Yan Qingying stood up excitedly and reported: "This year is very lucky. Although I spent a little more money, I unexpectedly found twelve strong girls. Their talents, qualifications , potential, all above 90, oh my god... I can't believe my eyes!"
Hearing Yan Qingying's words, Xin Yun was stunned. Are there only so many geniuses in this world? But if you think about it carefully, it is true. Even if there is one genius out of a million people, a metropolis with a population of 20 million can produce 20, and a metropolis with a population of about 20 million is enough in this prehistoric world. tens of thousands.
While thinking about it, Xin Yun smiled slightly and said, "Very well, since they are all so powerful, then you should take care of them and don't delay them. After all...they are the 12 apostles who serve you all their lives! They are your spokespersons."
"Enen..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Yan Qingying nodded excitedly, and the expression on her face was rarely excited. You must know... Under normal circumstances, Yan Qingying does not smile, and the expression on her face is always It's really rare to be so indifferent and lose his composure like this.
While thinking about it, Mingxuan said: "I have gained a lot here. The talent, aptitude, and potential are all above 80. Although they are all just in their early 80s, I am already very satisfied with so many."
With a wordless sigh, Xin Yun smiled wryly and shook his head. After working on it for a long time, only his talent failed, three 66, just on the passing level.
But fortunately, after having the red gourd, along with continuous refining of elixir, a large amount of spiritual power will seep into the gourd wall, and then pass on to Xin Yun, slowly improving Xin Yun's talent, aptitude, And potential, and... there is no upper limit, even if it reaches 100, it is not the full value.
After a simple lunch, in the afternoon... Xin Yun and the three sent all the twelve apostles selected by Yan Qingying and the 365 disciples selected by Mingxuan into Hu Zhongtian. After everything was completed, they rushed to Mendou together The master's family transported the three of them, together with the family's female relatives, to Huzhongtian.
After signaling Yi Luoxiang to stay in the Piaomiao City Hotel for support, Xin Yun, Mingxuan, and Yan Qingying passed the golden bridge transformed by the Tai Chi Diagram together, and returned to Huzhongtian, arranged the group of people, and then returned Misty City, next... They have to find the God of Death—Rove!
It is worth mentioning that besides the original task, the Five Rats now have the role of a buyer. If the people living in Huzhongtian need anything, they will tell them directly. Get it ASAP.
Of course, these five guys will not be allowed to do it in vain. Every task has to be calculated for the contribution of the gang, so the five brothers enjoy it. After feeling the power of the treasure, they can't wait to unseal it to the third layer up.
Just as Xin Yun and the others left Misty City and rushed to the city where Luo Fu was located, in Shoushan City, the Five Rat Brothers were wreaking havoc without restraint, and everyone wearing the logo of the Dragon Head Gang would become the five of them. The targets of attack, all the shops and stores with the logo of the Dragon Head Gang will become the places they patronize. Not only will they kill everyone, but they will also remove all the commodities and goods.
After hearing the news, the leader of the Dragon Head Gang, Wang Qiang, was furious. He personally led his subordinates and rushed towards the scene of the incident. In the past few days, such incidents have happened endlessly. This is already the seventeenth riot.
Logically speaking, after all, Shoushan City has a diamond-level master Wang Sheng in charge, and there should be no other diamond-level masters to make trouble, unless they are tired of work. In this case, then the other party must be a small gang without diamond-level masters. Don't they know the backstage of the Dragon Chief Gang? Once Wang Sheng came back, and there were no diamond-level masters in the opponent's gang, the gang would definitely be wiped out.
In the past few days, the members of the Dragon Head Gang have been continuously attacked by snipers, some were killed inexplicably in the downtown area, some were beaten with sap sticks in remote corners, and some even died directly in the On the bed at home, if it wasn't for the deep wound on his throat that was about to cut off his neck, he would have thought he died of natural causes.
Today, the Longshou Gang is no longer considered a small gang, but it can't bear such a loss. Ordinary gang members are fine. The key is that the top leaders of the Longshou Gang seem to be targeted by the other party. The bad news came. Up to now, everyone in the Dragon Head Gang is in danger. If they can't find a way to solve it, the Dragon Head Gang's collapse may not be far away.
Turning the corner of the street, the scene of the incident is in front of you. Looking around, the doors and windows of several shops on the street were broken, and more than a dozen corpses were scattered on the street. Black and purple blood flowed everywhere. , billowing thick smoke rose like a column, and the crimson flames crackled slightly.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Wang Qiang gritted his teeth bitterly, and walked towards the burning shops. Who are these guys, and why did they come to the Longshou Gang's territory to make trouble!
"Pa-ta... pa-ta..." In the sound of crisp footsteps, Wang Qiang took the lead, stepped over a male corpse on the ground, and was about to raise his legs to step over a green-shirted female corpse and move on when something happened suddenly.
At the moment when Wang Qiang was about to walk away, the corpse that Wang Qiang had just stepped over suddenly jumped up, and in a flash of his hand, a cold light instantly slashed towards Wang Qiang's back.
At the same time, the body of the female corpse that Wang Qiang was about to step over turned around, and with the turning of the body, a gloomy cold light pierced towards Wang Qiang's waist and abdomen whistling.
The distance was too close, the speed was too fast, the change was too sudden, and Wang Qiang's attention was already on those burning shops, and he was still thinking about things in his mind, so... Facing this sudden change, one Time was a little off.
It was too late to draw his sword to resist now, the distance was too close, but... Wang Qiang was a master of Amethyst Eight Stars after all, how could he be killed so easily.
With a shout, Wang Qiang stretched his arms, and in an instant... a ray of bright light roared and spread from his body. Under the impact of the hurricane's energy, at the same time as two cold lights pierced into the body, the opponent's body was rushed away. up.
However, even though Wang Qiang's reaction was timely enough, the two swords that slashed and stabbed still hurt him. Although the injuries were not serious, the two wounds, the front and the back, spurted blood wildly.
