Chapter 9: Three-headed and six-armed spirit infant statue, machine-sleeved crossbow
“Do you want to move into the wood carving shop?”
"You are a wood carving master now, so of course you can... However, you still have to go through some procedures. I asked someone to rush to help you complete the procedures. You can go to the yard in two days."
Xu You, the third shopkeeper, admires Li Che's talent.
The carved wood carvings are very meaningful. Such talent... is extremely precious and desired for any wood carving shop.
Because of this, wood carvers have the opportunity to grow into wood carving masters!
Therefore, naturally he would not refuse Li Che's request, and even wished for it.
Geniuses should be treated like geniuses.
"Thank you, Third Shopkeeper." Li Che clasped his fists sincerely.
Xu You nodded and disappeared into the wind and snow together with Xu Beihu.
Li Che exhaled a long breath of hot air, and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. After moving into the wood carving shop, the threat posed by the Lingying Cult will be much less.
Returning to the shop, I took out the bamboo hat and received the monthly payment for becoming a woodcarver, a total of five taels of silver.
The third shopkeeper said that from now on, this day of every month will be the time to distribute monthly money.
Under the envious and awed eyes of all the apprentices, Li Che packed his bags and prepared to go home to tell his wife and daughter the good news.
However, before leaving, he licked his face and moved closer to Master Chen.
"Master Chen, can I take some more scraps and go back to practice?"
Chen Dabao drank the gourd wine and frowned: "Ah Che, from now on, you are also the master of wood carving in the shop. We are friends. Don't call me Master Chen. Call me Lao Chen."
"You can take these materials as you like. You can even pick them out in the yard if you like. As long as they are not too big, you can take them back to practice."
Chen Dabao naturally saw Li Che's talent, and building a good relationship was very important.
At such an old age, he is naturally a good person and will not offend others easily.
"By the way, call me when you're choosing a yard, and I'll give you a pass so we can be neighbors." Old Chen said with a smile.
…
…
People feel refreshed when happy events occur.
Li Che was in a very good mood. After becoming a woodcarving master, his wages increased and he had hope for life. He became rich and wealthy, and it was no longer a luxury for his wife and daughter to live a good life.
Along the long street of Feilei Outer City, stepping on the piled snow, I came to the shop, drank two ounces of wine, then cut some pig head meat and braised beef, and walked towards home.
The sky was darkening and the lights on the road were sparse.
From a distance, Li Che saw the faint light of the oil lamp in the earthen house at home.
As if thinking of her lovely daughter Xixi's babbling and learning to speak, the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise.
Back in front of the earthen house, he stretched out his hand to call his wife Zhang Ya to open the door.
But suddenly, Li Che seemed to catch a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye. His breathing stagnated, and the air around him seemed to freeze.
The neck seemed to be stiff, twisting slowly.
His eyes fell on the lower left corner of the wooden door, where a small, palm-sized wooden sculpture was placed quietly above the thick snow!
The child with three heads and six arms sits on the lotus platform, with a face that seems to be smiling but not smiling, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and his eyes closing and opening.
I’ve been watching it for a long time…
Li Che even heard hallucinations of children crying and laughing!
“Master Lingying?!”
Li Che's face darkened and he looked around suddenly, his angry eyes full of ferocity.
Are you... being targeted? !
Xi Xi has just turned one full moon!
Lei Chunlan!
Where are you? ! get out!
But the surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of falling snow and the sound of Xixi learning to speak in the house.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed this wood carving. It was just an ordinary wood carving...
But a different signal was released to Li Che, and the joy in his heart instantly withered and froze.
Just like a thief who wants to steal something will mark the spot in advance.
Perhaps, the other party also has the same purpose.
Li Che had a gloomy face, thought for a while, and threw the Lingying wood carving into the woodshed, planning to take it to the wood carving shop tomorrow to ask about the situation.
After everything is done, the happy face returns.
When you go home... you should always report good things and not bad things.
"Ms. sir, are you back?"
Zhang Ya opened the door and Feng Xue squeezed in. Seeing Li Che holding wine and meat in his hand, surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes. She knows that her husband should have something happy to share with her.
When he learned that Li Che had become the wood carving master of Xu Ji Wood Carving Shop, he couldn't help but cheer like a girl, hugging Li Che's waist and jumping up and down, rubbing Li Che... distraught.
"Ms. sir, we must have a good celebration tonight!"
Zhang Ya raised her smooth chin and smiled.
Li Che hugged her and couldn't help but raise a smirk on his lips: "How do you plan to celebrate?"
Seeing Li Che's smile, Zhang Ya immediately understood his bad intentions, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush.
Li Che took out the five or two months' money he received today, and told Zhang Ya that he planned to move into a wood carving shop.
Zhang Ya was startled. Although she felt strange about the move, she didn't ask any more questions.
Wherever the husband goes, the mother and daughter will naturally follow him.
Moreover, Zhang Ya also knew in her heart that the wood carving shop must be much safer than here...
After dinner, Zhang Ya put Xixi to sleep early, and the couple carefully performed some vigorous exercise.
On the bed, Zhang Ya's black hair was disheveled and she fell into a deep sleep.
Li Che felt refreshed, sat in front of the lighted oil lamp, and took out the "Minutes of the Tang Organization" borrowed from Lao Chen.
The Dao Fruit [Immortal Worker] trembled again.
Li Che's eyes brightened and he began to read through it, observing it carefully.
It records all kinds of ingenious mechanisms, many of which are even extremely lethal...
Li Che looked at it, and with the understanding brought by Daoguo, he was instantly addicted to it, and was completely conquered by the ingenious design and whimsical creativity.
However, there are only twelve types of mechanisms recorded in the book, nine of which require inner strength and divine blessings to be crafted.
Li Che doesn't think about it now.
He chose the remaining three mechanisms that could be made even without inner strength and divinity, and they were named "Sleeve Crossbow", "Guanyin Blood Lotus" and "Thousand Silk Spider".
After taking out the wood scraps brought back from the shop, Li Che planned to make a sleeve crossbow.
Mainly, this is somewhat similar to his original crossbow design, so... it can be made directly.
The rustling sound of the carving knife cutting through the wood and tearing the wooden tissue lasted all night long...
When the first light from the east breaks through the haze and the earth covered with thick snow.
Li Che also finally completed the production of a small and exquisite sleeve crossbow!
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Craftsman (lv2, 19%)]
The moment the production was completed, a large number of tips and introductions about the use of the sleeve crossbow flooded into Li Che's mind, and at the same time... prompts popped up in front of his eyes.
Li Che's eyes suddenly brightened and his energy doubled. He didn't expect that the sleeve crossbow production would actually give 10% of the Tao Fruit maturity!
Li Che called the percentage in the suffix the maturity of the Dao Fruit. After all, the Dao Fruit will increase when it is full, so it is similar to the maturity of the Dao Fruit.
"Are they given based on the difficulty of the mechanism?" Li Che couldn't help but become curious.
Originally, the improvement of Dao Fruit had become slow, which made Li Che feel a little anxious.
But now it seems that he has found another way to improve Dao Fruit.
However, the number of agencies was a bit small, so Li Che quickly calmed down and felt a little regretful.
"However, there are twelve types of mechanisms recorded in detail in this mechanism minutes. If I make them all, it will be enough to upgrade Immortal Craftsmanship to lv3!" Li Che's eyes sparkled, and his heart was agitated.
There is still a chance!
Because he made the sleeve crossbow, Li Che mastered the skills of using the sleeve crossbow at the same time, so Li Che was a little eager to try it. If he mastered the internal energy and blood to activate the sleeve crossbow, the power would be even greater!
However, he glanced at his sleeping wife and daughter and resisted the urge.
He stood up and stretched, his muscles and bones crackling all over.
Perhaps it was because of Daoguo that I felt refreshed after staying up all night.
Hiding the sleeve crossbow in his sleeve, he made the crossbow body with wood and the crossbow arrows with wood. The durability is not very good, but the sharpened wooden spike crossbow arrows are not weak in power, and they are light, which is even better because he can use it at any time. Make.
After arriving in the kitchen, Li Che prepared breakfast.
But his eyes couldn't help but fall on the Lingying wood carving that he placed in the woodshed.
His brows furrowed involuntarily, he thought for a moment and shook his head violently.
"No, we can't leave Xixi and her mother in the earthen house...it's not safe anymore."
