Chapter 32 Wood Carving Breaks the Door

The little carpenter walked into the craftsman's escape door, and felt at ease in his heart, and even forgot the threat of death. The main reason was that everything here, his master had indeed mentioned it to him.

What Lu Da said was not the tomb of King Miao, but the arrangement of the mechanism.

This is the territory of the craftsman, and what he knows and has learned it, so he is not panicked.

However, under the threat of this hunchbacked old man, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But under such circumstances, he couldn't make too many choices.

After all, neither Zhang Qiming nor Husband was a good person. If they were perfunctory, they would never let him have a good life.

He nodded and said, "I do... understand a little."

He didn't say too well, but walked slowly to the door closest to him. After careful consideration, he saw that the stone door was thick, simple and unpretentious, but there was a small black piece below. He half-squatted down and looked carefully, but there was a hollow golden ash floating groove.

Jinao, also known as the dragon turtle, is a kind of divine turtle in Chinese mythology, usually a symbol of power and wealth.

The little carpenter turned his head and said to Zhang Qiming: "This is Tianshu Gate."

Zhang Qiming nodded, and the Beidou Tianshu transformed into a human form, which was the King of Greedy Wolf, and turned into an animal, which became a golden ash and a dragon turtle.

The hollow pattern here is indeed the Tianshu Stone Gate.

The little carpenter turned around, looked at the pile of bones in front of the door, and reached out to search. At this time, Zhang Qiming stretched out his hand, flipped his palm, and there was a black iron arrow on it, and said, "No need to look for it. This person was shot by a pipe arrow, and the rest of the people were the same, all died under the arrow."

Pipe arrow?

The little carpenter looked around the stone door, then reached out and tapped the stone wall gently. He felt that there were some mechanisms inside, and they were hidden in them on weekdays. They needed a specific state before they could be triggered.

He didn't say much, and continued to check. Under the other sects, he found different patterns, namely Buddha, Yuanbao, Pen, Ink, Paper and Ink, Four Treasures of Study, Earth, Scare Sun, Ganoderma, Zhang Qiming said: "The seven stars are in the north of Taiwei, Shu is the sky, Xuan is the earth, Ji is the human, Quan is the time, Heng is the sound, Kaiyang is the law, and Yaoguang is the star--the seven gates are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang, and three hollow patterns under these seven gates are blocked. What is this?"

He looked at the little carpenter, and the little carpenter pondered for a while and said, "The key to opening the door should be the hollow groove. If something can be made and the hollow groove is facing the silk thread, the door will naturally open; and if it cannot be clamped, if there is a little mistake, then the mechanism will be opened and the sharp arrow will fall, leaving a dead soul."

Hearing this, Zhang Qiming couldn't help but slap in high fives and sighed: "It should be so. He is worthy of being the founder of the Luban Sect. He should be afraid that his junior disciples would forget the skills he relied on for life, and then he came to this test."

The tiger pussy still didn't understand and asked, "What do those three blocked ones mean?"

The little carpenter gave him a blank look and said, "It means that three people have entered it. As for whether they have experienced the test and arrived at the Luban Temple, I don't know."

Hearing the tone of this boy, the tiger pussy felt disdain and suddenly became angry. He walked forward, stretched out his hand, and was about to grab the little carpenter's collar and start hitting: "I'm damn..."

He had just finished scolding, but his master Zhang Qiming reached out to stop him.

Then Zhang Qiming actually asked the little carpenter in a whispering voice: "What do you mean is there three people who entered it?"

The little carpenter nodded and said right.

Zhang Qiming stretched out his finger and calculated: "One person is my master, He Ye Zhang, he is sure that he has gone in and came out again; there is another person, I'm afraid it's your master's old thing. We came into the tomb and never saw him. I guess he is there; there is another person, who is it?"

The little carpenter pondered for a moment and said, "If I guessed correctly, it might be Xu Sansui."

When Zhang Qiming heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then said slowly: "If so, it should be him."

When the tiger pussy heard the two men playing the puzzle, he was confused and asked weakly: "Master, who is Xu Sansui?"

Zhang Qiming saw that he was not old but had a little carpenter who had learned, and saw his stupid disciple who was irrational and ignorant, and looked helpless, thinking that it would be great if this little carpenter was his disciple.

But he just developed a love for talent. Think about it. After all, how could he feel at ease with Lu Da’s apprentice?

The child always felt distressed. Although he was not satisfied, Zhang Qiming still explained patiently: "Xu Sansui, also known as Xu Taisui, was a great craftsman in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. He was the grandson of Qianlong's tomb. At the same time, he was also a senior of our Lu Ban sect. It is rumored that he was aware of the secret method of sprinkling beans into soldiers, and was especially proficient in mechanical puppets. With this method, he was a pseudonym Yang Lianhua, and joined the Tiandihui that anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty, and also a pseudonym Lotus Ancestor. He was very famous and was a singular figure at that time..."

After hearing this, Hu Bi couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and said, "I didn't expect that the Lotus Ancestor is actually a member of our Luban Sect?"

Zhang Qiming was very proud and said, "That's natural. Although our Luban Sect is a craftsman and has always been at the bottom, in the history of the sect, there have been several geniuses who have really studied the skills of our Luban Sect thoroughly, and they are not much weaker than other sects. Unfortunately, our Luban Sect has not grown up, which has caused our Luban Sect to wither. In the end, it was not left, and only a bunch of tea goods that were half a bottle of swaying and unruly... "

He sighed long, then changed his voice and said to the little carpenter: "Where do you go?"

The little carpenter spoke, "Eight gates are looking for life, and one of the Beidou and seven gates is missing, which just happens to deal with the name of Lu Ban's "missing one". There are dead places everywhere, and there are also life gates everywhere. Now, today, Tianxuan and Kaiyang gates are blocked, and the other gates can be entered. You only need to carve the corresponding keys. I wonder what are the methods of your Lu Ban axe?"

This Luban axe is not a method of killing people, but a micro-carving technique that craftsmen can carry heavy weights.

This is exactly what the so-called "showing off one's skills".

Zhang Qiming said a little embarrassedly: "I usually study great skills, so how can I do this? The boy's skills when I was young have long been lost, so you must come."

Under the temptation of the Luban Temple, the old man and the young man respect each other as guests, and no longer had the energy to dominate the situation before.

The little carpenter nodded, took out the carving knife hidden close to her body, found another piece of wood, and then asked Zhang Qiming: "Uncle Master, please choose one."

Zhang Qiming pointed casually and said that it was just here.

He refers to the Tianji Stone Gate. The groove pattern there is a ingot. This looks simple, but there are many things hidden inside, including the proportions of the upper and lower, the depth of the dent, and the floating patterns on the surface. You need to carefully look at the hollowing out there, and then carefully figure out the size and appearance of the key. If there is a little mistake, then what you will be a heart-wrenching arrow.

The little carpenter has been studying wood carving for many years, and has long been aware of such work. He lay on the ground, looked carefully, first used an ink pen to draw the proportions on the ground, and then began to carve it with a knife.

His speed was much faster than usual, but when he saw the knife flying on the wooden block at that moment, he kept shadows, which was really a bit powerful.

Zhang Qiming looked at it and finally understood Wu Banxian's love for talent at that time.

This kid, not looking at Mumu, is a talented person.

Lu Da is looking for a good apprentice.

A piece of rough jade.

Soon, the little carpenter finished it and blew a breath, blew away the wood chips, and then put the wood carved ingot at the opening, turned around and said to Zhang Qiming, "Uncle Master, have I put it?"

Zhang Qiming nodded and said let it go.

After he finished speaking, he subconsciously took a step back to avoid accidents, which would affect the fish in the pond and shoot him to death.

The little carpenter saw it and didn't say much. He held the newly completed small wood carving in his palm. The thing was probably the size of a thumb. It was not as delicate as ordinary people, but he was full of confidence and pointed the small ingot at the slot and pushed it inside.

The tiger's vein and Zhang Qiming were facing a great enemy, but after the small ingot entered it, it was very smooth and the size was right, and it was just stuffed into the slot.

Zhang Qiming held his breath and concentrated. After a few seconds, there was no movement or a hidden arrow coming from the stone gate. He couldn't help but ask, "Why..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound of the gears of the mechanism. Then, the stone door was lifted up very smoothly. Without the movements before, everything seemed very quiet, showing the superb level of craftsmanship.

Show off your skills. This is.

Behind the stone gate is a dark corridor with cold light sources on the walls inside, which are green and quiet, rendering the scene very strangely.

Aww...

The little carpenter subconsciously swallowed his saliva, but there was a sound of wild beasts roaring inside, which came from it, making people feel cold all over.

Several people subconsciously retreated, but at this time one rushed into the stone chamber. Several people turned their heads and looked at it, but saw a guy covered in blood and his face seemed to have been stripped off.

The man saw this and cursed angrily: "Oh, Zhang Qiming, you actually have a secret trick to frame us. I'm fighting with you..."

As soon as this fierce and evil guy, who was like a ghost, opened his mouth, the little carpenter could hear it.

He turned out to be Yu Xiaozi, the leader of Longwu Village.

"Walk!"

Zhang Qiming did not say a word at all, pushed the little carpenter away and walked towards the open stone door.

As soon as he entered, he heard a "bang". The stone gate suddenly went down and fell down, almost crushing the tiger pussy that was about to follow him to death.

And on the side, the dwarf Yu, who was like a bloody man, rushed to him.
