Chapter 408: Carpentry Workshop
Somewhere in Gyeongju.
The Holy Dynasty governs the states, Jingzhou is not the largest, but it is definitely the most populous state, some places are prosperous, and the people who come and go are the upper class, and some places are the places where ordinary people live, of course, the more this kind of place, the more mixed they are, and everyone has them.
At this moment, Chu Xian and Xuanyue Valley were in a private alley in Jingzhou.
The houses here are dilapidated, but it is densely populated, and traders, craftsmen, and all walks of life live here. Chu Xian was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth shirt at the moment, and even his hair was simply standing up, with a bamboo stick, looking like an ordinary child of a private family. Next to Xuanyue Valley has already used a secret method to converge the breath, a picture of a poor middle-aged scholar's dress, of course, Xuanyue Valley is a Taoist immortal, the breath can be converged and hidden, and the cultivation can be suppressed, but the temperament is difficult to change, but fortunately, there are many scribes who are similar to the poor but unambitious, some are helping people write, some are helping people settle accounts, and some are teaching in the lowest school, so this kind of dress and some outstanding temperament are not particularly eye-catching.
Coming here, no one knows except Chu Xian and Xuan Yue Valley.
This was also Chu Xian's idea, and for this reason, persuading Xuan Yuegu also cost Chu Xian a lot of words, but fortunately, it made sense in the end.
"What are you looking for here? And you're doing it so mysteriously. "Xuanyue Gu is a person who cherishes words like gold and is definitely not good at talking, but he has been with Chu Xian for a long time in the past few days, and he is familiar with it, so he has more words, of course, the most important thing is that Chu Xian can speak, ask him from time to time, ask him, and make Xuanyue Gu actually used to this, this time he suddenly hid it from him, and didn't say anything, which naturally made Xuan Yuegu very curious, so he asked.
Chu Xian shook his head: "This matter is very important, I can't say it for the time being!"
Obviously, Chu Xian's mouth is very strict.
Xuan Yuegu became more and more curious, but he held his own identity, Chu Xian didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask.
Along the way, I have seen the life of the people at the bottom of Jingzhou, although they are not very rich, but they are very comfortable, such as many of the roadside are covered with cloth, there are all kinds of food sold, bean juice fritters, twist sticky balls, it can be said that there is everything, and it is also cheap, two large bowls of tea on the roadside, as long as a penny.
It is not uncommon to see peddlers and pawns, as well as various craftsmen sitting on the side of the road, drinking water and resting.
A couple of half-grown children were chattering, holding branches in their hands, like swords, and were laughing and playing.
Chu Xian was walking at this time and saw a carpentry workshop in front of him.
The carpentry workshop is full of craftsmen, and in the Holy Dynasty, the status of carpentry is not low, after all, whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, they need to build houses, so it is indispensable to deal with carpentry.
Especially some dignitaries, all kinds of wooden furniture are indispensable in the house, and the house is indispensable for carving beams and painted columns, and good carpenters are definitely not short of work, and sometimes, they are very busy all year round.
There are three most famous carpentry workshops in Gyeongju, and although there is also a Ministry of Industry under the jurisdiction of the government, when it is necessary to build a mansion, it is necessary to temporarily recruit craftsmen from these three woodworking workshops in Gyeongju.
In front of it is one of the three largest carpentry workshops, called 'Higashikikaku'.
In addition to repairing furniture, there are also a variety of expensive furniture for sale, of course, depending on the texture and workmanship, the price is also different.
The front of the East Wooden Pavilion is full of all kinds of furniture, wooden chairs and wooden tables, and the back is a real carpentry workshop, and when you enter here, you can smell a very fresh smell of wood.
When the guys here saw a guest coming, they naturally came up to greet him, and asked if they wanted to buy tables and chairs or hire carpenters.
Chu Xian first glanced at the furniture here, and then said: "My master wants to repair a courtyard, and he needs a few craftsmen with good craftsmanship, rest assured, as long as the craftsmanship is good, the salary will not be less." ”
Between the words, he looks like he has a lot of money.
Xuanyue Valley next to him was inexplicable, why did he suddenly come to this carpentry workshop to hire people, and besides, the talk of repairing the courtyard must be nonsense.
However, Xuanyue Valley didn't say a word, and stood behind.
When the guy heard that there was a big customer coming, he nodded at the moment: "The two of you will rest in the front hall first, have a cup of tea, and I'll go to the foreman, if there is anything, just talk to him." ”
Chu Xian nodded, and the guy went to call someone.
I didn't take two sips of a cup of tea, and the foreman came.
The foreman here is not a pot-bellied shopkeeper, but a slightly shorter, but extremely strong man, this man is wearing single clothes, and his bare arms are very powerful, which can be described as a knot of muscles and muscles, and at first glance he is a person with a martial arts background.
Of course, this foreman's subtle ability, not to mention Xuanyue Valley, even Chu Xian can't look down on it, at best, it is the peak level of the day after tomorrow.
The foreman was stunned when he saw Chu Xian and Xuan Yuegu at this time.
Although he reacted in an instant, he still couldn't escape Chu Xian's eyes, after all, Chu Xian was staring at each other all the time, so Chu Xian could see any changes.
The foreman grinned at this time: "Two, do you need carpentry?"
Chu Xian nodded: "What is this master called?"
The foreman smiled, "My surname is Jia." ”
"Oh, Master Jia, there is an old mansion on my master's house, which has fallen into disrepair for a long time, and I want to renovate and rebuild, especially a landscape courtyard inside, and I want to build a house that can be on the pond, I don't know if Master Jia can take this job?"
Chu Xian asked at this time.
When Master Najia heard this, the smile on his face stiffened slightly, but he still said: "This, you have to look at the place specifically......"
Before he finished speaking, the mutation protruded.
The doors and windows of the entire shop closed instantly, and the next moment, the roof, walls, and even the floor, poured out golden light. If you want to talk about reaction, it is obviously Xuan Yuegu who reacts the fastest, but before he can get up, he suddenly feels as if he is pressed against a mountain, or rather, heavier than a mountain, so that he can't move at all for a while.
He is still like this, and Chu Xian's side is the same, at this time, Master Jia is already murderous, and he has already found a short knife in his hand, stabbing straight at Chu Xian's heart.
It seems that he is planning to kill him directly.
This change came too fast, and ordinary people couldn't react at all, after all, the body suddenly couldn't move, and no one moved, and Chu Xian was the same, but just when the short knife was about to pierce Chu Xian's chest, a black shadow flashed, and Master Jia's hand holding the short knife was already flying, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
Master Jia looked at the severed wrist with a shocked face, and didn't react for a moment to what was going on, and soon, he felt the pain, and knew that he couldn't stay here, so he immediately turned around and left.
However, at this time, Xuanyue Gu over there had already broken free from the invisible suppression on his body, and directly shot to take down Master Jia.
You must know that Xuanyue Valley is a Dao Immortal, an immortal realm, I don't know what is going on just now, I am in the Dao, but I am only trapped for less than three breaths.
In three breaths, Xuanyue Valley broke through that layer of prohibition with all his might, and then took down the other party.
"Senior Xuan, be sure to take a good look at this person, this person is one of the suspects in the murder of Wu Zu, you must not let him go, and you must beware of him committing suicide. Chu Xian couldn't move at this time, he could only speak, but even if he spoke, he could only speak in a low voice, and he couldn't make a loud sound.
Xuan Yuegu nodded, moved directly, and pointed at the back of Master Jia's head, who rolled his eyes and fainted directly.
"Senior Xuan, go and see the other people in this carpentry workshop, first restrain them, and don't let any of them go. Chu Xian said again at this time, although Xuan Yuegu had doubts in his heart, he still nodded, his figure flashed out, and he returned after a while: "A few craftsmen in this carpentry workshop have run away, and the rest are all controlled by me." ”
Chu Xian nodded.
Thanks to bringing Xuanyue Valley, an immortal-level master, otherwise this trip would be a capsizing in the perineum gutter, at this moment, Chu Xian only felt that his body and limbs could not move, and he also admired Xuanyue Valley's cultivation in his heart, the other party was not a master of the immortal realm, and he was different from himself.
In three breaths, people can break this invisible prohibition and move freely, but they can't break it until now.
There was no way, so he could only continue to try, but he still couldn't move, but fortunately, Chu Xian had already thought of the other party's means, so he asked Xuan Yuegu to smash all the glowing wood in the materials.
This time, it worked.
After smashing the three, Chu Xian felt that the invisible force had weakened too much, so he used his strength to break this prohibition.
Even so, Chu Xian was in a cold sweat.
"Chu Tuiguan, what is going on?" Xuan Yuegu frowned at this moment and asked, in his opinion, he just followed Chu Xian to investigate, but when he arrived here, not long after he sat down, he suddenly said, until now, Xuanyue Gu didn't know what was going on, and he didn't know what was going on.
At this time, Chu Xian didn't have time to elaborate, but just said: "If I guessed correctly, the things that made us unable to move just now are the things that made the Thirteen Witch Ancestors unable to move, and it must have something to do with this house." ”
After saying that, he went out and tied up the carpentry craftsmen who were lying on the ground one by one.
At the same time, Chu Xian shook his sleeves and released the Yin and Yang Phantom God Carp, enveloping the entire Dongmu Pavilion and creating an illusion, from the outsider's point of view, this place will be no different from usual, and even if he comes in, he will step into the illusion and talk to the guys and others in the illusion, as long as he is not a particularly powerful master, he will not be able to detect the situation on the side of the Dongmu Pavilion at all.
Seeing the Yin and Yang Phantom God Carp, Xuan Yue Gu was slightly stunned, obviously, he also knew that this thing was the god of illusion, and the current realm was not high, if it was time in the future, I was afraid that it would be able to create an illusion that deceived the immortals.
However, for such a treasure, Xuanyue Gu only sighed secretly, and did not look at it much, let alone ask more.
