Chapter 410 Carpentry Workshop

Somewhere in Jingzhou.

The Holy Dynasty governs all the prefectures. Jingzhou is not the largest, but it is definitely the most populous prefecture. Some places are prosperous, and people from the upper class come and go, while some places are the places where ordinary people live. Of course, the more In this kind of place, the more fish and dragons are mixed up, there are everyone.

At this moment, Chu Xian and Xuan Yuegu are in a folk alley in Jingzhou.

The houses here are dilapidated, but it is densely populated. Traders, craftsmen, and all walks of life live here.Chu Xian was wearing a coarse cloth that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. Even his hair was simply bristled and stuck with a bamboo stick. He looked like an ordinary boy from a folk family.Next to him, Xuanyuegu used a secret method to restrain his breath. He was dressed like a poor middle-aged scholar. Of course, Xuanyuegu was originally a Daoist, so his breath could be restrained and hidden, and his cultivation could be suppressed. But there are quite a few scribes who have no ambitions. Some help people write, some help people settle accounts, and some teach in the lowest-level schools, so this kind of dress and somewhat outstanding temperament are not particularly eye-catching.

Come here, except for Chu Xian and Xuan Yuegu, no one knows.

This was also Chu Xian's idea. For this reason, it took Chu Xian a lot of words to convince Xuan Yuegu, but fortunately it made sense in the end.

"What are you looking for here? And you are so mysterious." Xuan Yuegu was originally a person who cherishes words like gold and is absolutely not good at talking, but he has been with Chu Xian for a long time these days, and he is familiar with him. , So I talked more, of course, the most important thing is that Chu Xian can talk, ask him from time to time, ask him for advice, Xuan Yuegu is actually used to this, this time suddenly even he didn't tell anything, and didn't say anything , naturally made Xuan Yuegu very curious, so he asked a question.

Chu Xian shook his head: "This matter is very important, we can't talk about it for now!"

Obviously, Chu Xian was very strict.

Xuan Yuegu became more and more curious, but he insisted on his identity, and it was not easy for him to ask if Chu Xian didn't say anything.

Along the way, what I have seen is the life of the lowest class people in Jingzhou. Although they are not very rich, they are very comfortable. It seems that many of the roadsides are covered with cloth canopies, and they sell all kinds of food, soybean juice Deep-fried dough sticks, twisted sticky dough, everything that one expects to find, and they are also cheap. Two bowls of tea on the side of the road cost only a penny.

From time to time, you can see traffickers and pawns, as well as various craftsmen sitting on the side of the road, drinking water and resting.

Several half-grown children were chattering, holding branches in their hands as swords, laughing and playing.

Chu Xian was walking at this time and saw a carpentry workshop ahead.

The carpentry workshop is full of craftsmen, and in the Holy Dynasty, the status of carpenters is not low. After all, whether it is ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they all need to build houses, so dealing with carpenters is indispensable.

Especially for some high-ranking officials and nobles, all kinds of wooden furniture are indispensable in their homes, and carved beams and painted pillars are even more indispensable in their homes. Good carpenters are definitely not short of work. Sometimes, they are very busy throughout the year.

In Jingzhou, there are three most famous carpentry workshops. Officially, although the Ministry of Industry is also under the jurisdiction, when it is necessary to build a mansion, it is necessary to temporarily recruit craftsmen from these three carpentry workshops in Jingzhou.

In front is one of the three largest carpentry workshops, called 'Dongmu Pavilion'.

In addition to building tools, there are also a variety of expensive furniture for sale here, of course, depending on the texture and workmanship, the price is different.

In front of Dongmu Pavilion are all kinds of furniture, including wooden chairs and tables, and the real wood workshop is at the back. When you enter here, you can smell a very fresh smell of wood.

When the guys here saw a guest coming, they naturally came forward to greet them, 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 needs a few craftsmen with good craftsmanship. Don't worry, as long as the craftsmanship is good, the wages will not be reduced."

While speaking, he looked rich and powerful.

Xuanyuegu next to him was inexplicable, why did he suddenly come to this carpentry workshop to hire people, and what's more, the talk about repairing the courtyard must be nonsense.

But Xuan Yuegu didn't say a word, just stood behind.

When the guy heard that there was a big client coming, he nodded immediately: "You two rest in the front hall first and have a sip of tea. I'll go to the foreman right away. If there's anything you need, just talk to him."

Chu Xian nodded, and the guy went to call someone.

The foreman came before he had even had two sips of a cup of tea.

The foreman here is not a shopkeeper with a big belly, but a short but very strong man. This man is wearing single clothes, and his exposed arms are very powerful. It can be said that his muscles are knotted. It can be seen that he has a foundation in martial arts. people.

Of course, the foreman's meager skills, not to mention Xuanyuegu, even Chu Xian couldn't look down on him, at best he was at the peak level of the day after tomorrow.

The foreman was startled when he saw Chu Xian and Xuan Yuegu.

Although he only reacted in an instant, he still couldn't escape Chu Xian's eyes. After all, Chu Xian was staring at the other party all the time, so Chu Xian could see any changes.

The foreman grinned and said, "You two, do you need carpentry?"

Chu Xian nodded: "What's the name of this master?"

The foreman smiled and said, "My surname is Jia."

"Oh, Master Jia, my owner has an old house that has been in disrepair for a long time. I want to renovate and rebuild it, especially a landscape garden inside, and I want to build a house that can be used for swimming pools. Can you pick it up?"

Chu Xian asked at this time.

When Master Jia heard this, the smile on his face was a little stiff, but he still said: "This, we have to look at the specific place..."

Before I finished talking, a sudden change emerged.

The doors and windows of the entire store were closed instantly, and the next moment, golden lights gushed out from the roof, walls, and even the floor.In terms of reaction, it was obviously Xuanyuegu who reacted the fastest, but before he got up, he suddenly felt as if his whole body was crushed by a mountain, or in other words, heavier than the mountain, making him unable to move at all for a while.

Even if he was like this, it was the same with Chu Xian. At this time, Master Jia had a murderous look on his face, and he turned his hand and took out a short knife, stabbing straight at Chu Xian's heart.

From the looks of it, he planned to kill him directly.

This change happened so quickly that ordinary people couldn't react in time. After all, the body suddenly couldn't move, 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 past , Master Jia's hand holding the short knife flew up, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

Master Jia looked at the severed wrist in astonishment, and didn't realize what was going on for a moment. Soon, he felt the pain. He knew that he couldn't stay here, so he turned around and left immediately.

But at this moment, Xuan Yuegu over there had already broken free from the invisible oppression on his body, and shot directly to take Master Jia down.

You must know that Xuanyue Valley is a Daoist, an immortal realm. I didn't know what happened just now, but I got the Dao, but I was only trapped for less than three breaths.

Within three breaths, Xuan Yuegu broke through that layer of restriction with all his strength, and then took the opponent down.

"Senior Xuan, please keep an eye on this person. This person is one of the suspects in the case of Wu Zu's murder. He must not be let go, and he must be on guard against suicide." Chu Xian couldn't move at this time, and could only speak , but even if he spoke, he could only speak in a low voice, unable to make a loud voice.

Xuan Yuegu nodded, and moved directly, pointing at the back of Master Jia's head, the latter rolled his eyes and passed out.

"Senior Xuan, go and see the other people in this carpentry workshop, restrain them all first, and don't let anyone go." Chu Xian said again at this time, although Xuan Yuegu was puzzled in his heart, he still nodded, and his figure flashed After going out, he came back after a while and said, "A few of the craftsmen in this carpentry workshop ran away, and the rest are all under my control."

Chu Xian nodded.

It was also thanks to bringing Xuanyuegu, a fairy-level master, otherwise this trip would be capsized in the gutter. At this moment, Chu Xian only felt that his body and limbs could not move, and he also admired Xuanyuegu's cultivation in his heart. It's no loss that he is a master in the realm of immortals, but he is different from himself.

People can break this invisible restriction within three breaths and move freely, but I can't break it until now.

There was no other way but to keep trying, but he still couldn't move. Fortunately, Chu Xian had already thought of the opponent's method, so he asked Xuan Yuegu to smash all the glowing wood in the supplies.

This time, it really worked.

After crushing three of them, Chu Xian felt that the invisible force had weakened too much, so he used all his strength to break the restriction.

Even so, Chu Xian was in a cold sweat.

"Officer Chu Tui, what's going on here?" Xuan Yuegu frowned and asked at the moment. In his opinion, he just followed Chu Xian to investigate, but when he arrived here, he just sat down and said suddenly , until now, Xuan Yuegu didn't know what was going on, nor did he know what happened.

At this time, Chu Xian didn't have time to go into details, so he just said: "If I'm not wrong, the thing that made us unable to move just now is the thing that made the thirteen witch ancestors unable to move, and it must have something to do with this house .”

After finishing speaking, he went out and tied up the craftsmen of the carpentry workshop who were lying on the ground one by one.

At the same time, Chu Xian shook his sleeves and released the yin-yang phantom carp, covering the entire Dongmu Pavilion, creating an illusion. From the perspective of outsiders, this place will be the same as usual, and even if you come in, I will also step into the illusion and talk to the buddies and others in the illusion. As long as you are not a particularly powerful master, you will not be able to detect the situation at Dongmu Pavilion.

Seeing the yin-yang phantom god carp, Xuanyuegu was slightly taken aback. Obviously, he also knows the goods. He knows that this thing is the god of illusion, and his level is not high now.

But regarding this treasure, Xuan Yuegu only sighed secretly, and didn't look at it much, let alone ask more questions.
