Chapter 9 Three-headed and six-armed spirit infant statue, mechanical sleeve crossbow
"Do you want to move into the woodcarving shop?"
"You are a woodcarving master now, so of course you can... However, some formalities still need to be completed. I will ask someone to help you get the formalities done quickly. You can go to see the yard in two days."
The third shopkeeper Xu You admired Li Che's talent very much.
The carved woodcarvings are full of meaning. Such talents... are extremely precious and coveted by any woodcarving shop.
Because only in this way can a woodcarver have the opportunity to grow into a woodcarving master!
Therefore, Li Che's request would naturally not be rejected, and some even wished for it.
A genius should be treated as a genius.
"Thank you, third shopkeeper." Li Che clasped his fists sincerely.
Xu You nodded, and disappeared into the wind and snow with Xu Beihu.
Li Che exhaled a long breath of hot air, and a smile appeared on his face. After moving into the woodcarving shop, the threat posed by the Lingying Sect would be much less.
After returning to the shop, he took the bamboo hat and received the monthly salary for becoming a woodcarver, a total of five taels of silver.
The third shopkeeper said that from now on, this day of every month would be the time to distribute the monthly salary.
Under the envious and awe-inspiring eyes of 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 approached Master Chen.
"Master Chen, can I take some more scraps back to practice?"
Chen Dabao drank the gourd wine and said, "A Che, from now on, you are also the woodcarving master of the shop. We are friends, so don't call me Master Chen, call me Lao Chen."
"You can take these materials at will, and even if you like, you can go to the yard to pick them. As long as they are not too big, you can take them back to practice."
Chen Dabao naturally saw Li Che's talent, and it was important to build a good relationship.
At such an old age, he is naturally a smart person and will not offend people easily.
"By the way, when you choose a yard, call me and I'll check it out for you so that we can be neighbors." Old Chen said with a smile.
…
…
People feel refreshed when they are happy.
Li Che was in a very good mood. After becoming a woodcarver, his salary increased and he had hope for a better life. It was no longer a luxury to become rich and let his wife and daughter live a good life.
Following the long street of Feilei Outer City, stepping on the piled up white snow, he came to the shop, bought two taels of wine, and then went to cut some pork head and braised beef, and walked towards home.
The sky darkened, and the lights on the road were sparse.
From a distance, Li Che saw the faint oil lamplight in the earthen house at home.
As if thinking of the sound of his lovely daughter Xixi babbling and learning to speak at this moment, the corners of his lips could not help but rise.
Back in front of the earthen house, he stretched out his hand and wanted to call his wife Zhang Ya to open the door.
But suddenly, Li Che seemed to catch a glimpse of something in his peripheral vision, his breathing stagnated, and the air around him seemed to freeze.
The neck seemed to be stiff, twisting slowly.
His sight fell on the lower left corner of the wooden door, where a palm-sized wooden sculpture was quietly placed on the thick snow!
A child with three heads and six arms sat on a lotus platform, his face seemed to be smiling, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his eyes were closed and opened.
After watching for a long time...
Li Che even heard the hallucination of a child crying and laughing!
"Spirit Infant Dharma Master?!"
Li Che's face darkened, and he looked around suddenly, his eyes full of ferocity.
So... are you staring at me? !
Xixi is just one month old!
Lei Chunlan!
Where are you? ! Get out!
But there was silence all around, only the sound of falling snow and Xixi's "babbling" voice in the house.
Reaching out and grabbing this wooden sculpture, it was just an ordinary wooden sculpture...
But it sent a different signal 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 has the same purpose.
Li Che had a gloomy face, thought for a while, threw the spiritual baby wood carving into the wood room, and planned to take it to the wood carving shop to ask about the situation tomorrow.
After doing everything, he regained his happy face.
Going home... It is always good news, not bad news.
"Husband, are you back?"
Zhang Ya opened the door, Fengxue squeezed in, and saw Li Che holding wine and meat in his hands, and her eyes immediately showed surprise.
Knowing that her husband must have some good news to share with her.
When she learned that Li Che became a wood carving master at Xuji Wood Carving Shop, she couldn't help cheering like a girl, hugging Li Che's waist and jumping up and down, rubbing Li Che... The heart was distracted.
"Husband, we must celebrate tonight!"
Zhang Ya raised her smooth chin and smiled.
Li Che embraced her, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "How do you plan to celebrate?"
Zhang Ya saw Li Che's smile and immediately understood his bad intentions, and her pretty face flushed.
Li Che took out the five taels of monthly salary he received today, and told Zhang Ya about his plan to move into the woodcarving shop.
Zhang Ya was stunned. Although she felt strange about the move, she didn't ask much.
Where her husband went, they would naturally follow.
In addition, Zhang Ya also knew that the woodcarving shop must be much safer than here...
After dinner, Zhang Ya coaxed Xixi to sleep early, and the couple carefully carried out a passionate exercise.
On the bed, Zhang Ya fell asleep with her black hair loose.
Li Che was refreshed. He sat in front of the lit oil lamp and took out the "Tang Family Mechanism Records" borrowed from Lao Chen.
The Dao Fruit [Xian Gong] trembled again.
Li Che's eyes were bright, and he began to flip through it and observe it carefully.
It records all kinds of ingenious mechanisms, and even many of them are extremely lethal...
Li Che read it, and with the understanding brought by the Dao Fruit, he was instantly immersed in it, and was completely conquered by the ingenious design and fantastic ideas.
However, there are only twelve mechanisms recorded in the book, nine of which require internal strength and divinity to make.
Li Che now doesn't consider it.
He chose the remaining three mechanisms that can be made even without internal strength and divinity, named "Sleeve Crossbow", "Avalokitesvara Blood Lotus" and "Thousand Silk Spider".
Li Che took out the wood waste brought back from the shop and 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 wood tissue lasted all night...
When the first ray of light in the east tore through the haze and the earth covered with thick snow.
Li Che finally completed the production of the small and exquisite sleeve crossbow!
[Tao Guo: Immortal Work (lv2, 19%)]
At the moment of completion, Li Che's mind suddenly flooded with a lot of tips and introductions on the use of the sleeve crossbow, and at the same time... a prompt popped up in front of him.
Li Che's eyes suddenly brightened, and his spirit doubled. He didn't expect that the production of the sleeve crossbow actually gave 10% of the Tao Guo maturity!
Li Che called the percentage in the suffix the Tao Guo maturity. After all, the Tao Guo will be improved after it is full, which is similar to the Tao Guo maturity.
"Is it given according to the difficulty of the mechanism?" Li Che couldn't help but be curious.
Originally, the Tao Guo improvement became slow, which made Li Che a little anxious.
But now it seems that he seems to have found another way to improve the Tao Guo.
However, the number of mechanisms is a bit small, Li Che quickly calmed down, and felt a little sorry.
"But, this mechanism record records twelve kinds of mechanisms in detail. If I make all of them, it will be enough to improve the immortal work to lv3!" Li Che's eyes sparkled and his heart was excited.
There is still a chance!
Because he had made the sleeve crossbow, Li Che had also mastered the skills of using it, so Li Che was a little eager to try it out. If he mastered the internal strength and blood, and activated the sleeve crossbow, it would be even more powerful!
However, he looked at his sleeping wife and daughter and resisted the urge.
He stood up and stretched his body, and his muscles and bones crackled.
Perhaps because of the Dao fruit, he was refreshed after a night of hard work.
He hid the sleeve crossbow in his sleeve. He made the crossbow body of wood and the crossbow arrows of wood. The durability was not good, but the sharpened wooden crossbow arrows were powerful and light, and he could make them at any time.
After coming to the kitchen, Li Che prepared breakfast.
His eyes fell on the spiritual infant wood carving that he had placed in the woodshed.
He frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head violently.
"No, we can't leave Xixi and her mother in the earth house... It's not safe."
