Lord, I'm floating

Chapter 27

In the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and everything is silent.

Chen Mou was dressed in night clothes, his shoulders and body were thickened with sackcloth, he looked very burly, his hair and face were tightly wrapped, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and he threw a copper coin in his cloth-wrapped hand.

Reach out to catch the copper coin, and open your palm to see that it is still facing up.

"Character!"

God agrees with him to do a business of strong buying and strong selling.

Turning off the oil lamp in the main room with a flick of a finger, Chen Mou appeared in a cave in another world in the next moment. After a while, he reappeared in a dark forging room.

Hammers, materials, sword embryos and other miscellaneous items were scattered on the ground in a mess, and they were not cleaned up.

The fire has been extinguished, and the stove is still emitting high temperature. It is estimated that it will be less than half an hour before work starts.

A few days ago, he came to this small shop's forging room to try out work. He was told by the manager of the small hammer to come and go for half a day for nothing. In the end, he was told that his level could only start from the lowest handyman. , Evening meals, seven hours a day, no bathing leave throughout the year, whether you like to do it or not.

At that time, he almost doubted his life. He glanced at the mocking and sneering eyes of other apprentices and helpers, only to realize that he had been tricked by a group of people. He pretended to be silly and said "Think about it", and when he put the materials in his hand back to the corner, he quietly threw them away. A copper coin, which he temporarily left behind, was in the crevice.

Is it because he said that he once worked as a small hammer steward in the Forging Bing Pavilion?

To humiliate him like this, to seek the pleasure of being superior.

They both live at the bottom, so why base their happiness on people who seem to be lower?
You are neither benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

Chen Mou went to the corner, uncovered the felt, picked out five semi-finished magic weapon sword embryos, took out a bag from his cuff, and poured out 150 spirit stones mixed with a little pungent smell, as the price for his purchase of materials, and left him to make The positioned copper coins are taken away.

Write a few large characters on the dusty ground with charcoal:

"Fair trade, no loss, no debt!"

Of course it's left-handed.

Without closing the uncovered felt, he picked up five magical weapons and sword embryos and went to the cave in another world.

"Boom", throw the sword embryo into the sink to soak, and then take it out to use after a few days, it will be safe.

After many attempts, he has already discovered that the imprint of breath he left on ordinary objects can only last for five days, and after five days, he cannot perceive the dim location through the ancient jade.

Living in this world where he can feel the crisis of survival all the time, he is under great pressure to live.

Becoming an outer disciple of the sect seemed to be his only chance to turn around and change his fate.

He couldn't buy suitable training materials at all, and almost all good things were monopolized by sects and forces.

The remaining half of the embryo from last time has been forged by him with the new hammer method.

Weighing the pros and cons, in order to master the skill of imbuing spirits, and to ensure that the examination of outer disciples on the Mid-Autumn Festival next year can go smoothly, he decided to do this one.

However, with the ancient jade in his hand, sneaking in and out of the important backyard of another house, as if entering the land of no one, this novelty and excitement made him a little excited and couldn't calm down.

Ripples spread, setting off boundless waves of desire.

"'Often walking by the river, there is no way that your shoes will not get wet'. Greed is not terrible. What is terrible is the heart blinded by greed."

Chen Mou was terrified, woke up in time, and silently warned himself.

Light the oil lamp, choose a half-old Daoist scriptures, and sit cross-legged on a futon to read and recite.

Fan Laodao used to read the scriptures occasionally, and usually read miscellaneous books and travel notes, or the scriptures in the room.

Chen Mou didn't understand the phonology of reading the scriptures, so he recited the whole text in a straight-forward manner, reading each word slowly, and slowly calmed down the inflated desire that was aroused deep in his heart. Intangible heart robbery.

Practitioners face different difficulties all the time.

Most of the time it's self-inflicted.

All kinds of practice bottlenecks and barriers are accumulated in daily practice.

It is said that if you sow melons, you will reap melons, and if you sow beans, you will reap beans.

……

Early in the morning, the sky is bright.

Two apprentices in short clothes yawned, pushed open the door, and walked into the forging room where the charcoal smell had not dissipated. One of them had sharp eyes and suddenly found a pile of sparkling spirit stones on the ground, and his drowsiness dissipated immediately.

The other person also saw it, and the two looked at each other, and suddenly realized.

"Someone came in!"

Killing the idea of ​​stealing the spirit stone, the two hurriedly left the forging room in fright, otherwise they would be in big trouble if they couldn't tell.

A while later, Master Xiao from the blacksmith, the gold shopkeeper of the shop, the elder monk who guarded the shop, and the other three blacksmith masters in the backyard arrived one after another. They looked at the writings and spirit stones on the ground with different expressions.

"Nephew Xiao, apart from the five magic weapon embryos missing in the forging room, are there other items stolen?"

The old man who established the foundation asked with his face sinking like water.

"Reporting to Uncle Wu, I checked it myself just now, except for the five magic weapon embryos, nothing else was missing."

Master Xiao of the blacksmith stared at the words "fair trade, no loss, no debt" scrawled on the ground, puzzled. How did the thief get in and how did he get out?

The backyard of the shop is protected at night, and without a corresponding identity token, even a bird cannot fly in.

Could it be the ghost?
It's impossible to think about it, whoever stole the embryo of the magic weapon left behind a spirit stone that was just enough for the material cost.

Like him or a few other forging masters, who need magic weapon embryos to forge private goods, they can just buy them with spirit stones in the shop openly, without shame.

The old man who established the foundation took a spirit stone in his hand, smelled a slightly pungent smell, pondered for a moment, and said: "This is the end of this matter, and I warn the apprentices and helpers outside not to spread the news. If the news is leaked, they will all be punished and dismissed."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, cupped their hands and said, "Yes, follow Master Wu's orders."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Teacher, how do you account for the lost materials?"

All the materials in the forging house have corresponding accounts for entry and exit, even if they are discarded, they must be recorded.

"Just write that the forging is wasteful. The 150 spirit stones are used to offset the fine. I will sign it later. Nephew Xiao, since the matter happened in your forging room, the fault of forging five magic weapon materials within a month is your fault." , what do you think?"

There was no expression on the old man's face, he turned around and asked.

Dissatisfaction appeared on Master Xiao's face, "I dare not have any opinions."

Forging and scrapping five magic weapon materials in a month will definitely fail the assessment, don't worry about rewards, and even be punished, he was unwilling to ask: "Uncle Wu, why don't you check it out, lest the thief will come back to cause trouble next time? "

Suspecting that there was an inner ghost setting him up, he glanced at the other three.

The old man who established the foundation stared at the middle-aged man, and said: "I can tell you with certainty that the three of them did not enter or leave the backyard after work last night. Also, after work, why didn't your forge activate the outer layer?" Protection?"

He had already guessed in his heart that only Jindan Realm, or a more powerful expert, could come and go freely in the large formation that was not fully activated in the backyard without alarming anyone, including him.

When an expert acts, he often reveals inscrutability and eccentricity.

Leaving a large amount of spirit stones as compensation for casual cultivators, and covering them up with scent, is a kind of play of wandering around the world, pointing out that they are not afraid to invite them from the sect to track the spirit birds, and they will be counted if they can find them If you don't believe me, try it.

Of course he won't die and search for it, who knows what the master wants to do?
This matter was secretly reported to the Zongmen, and it was estimated that it would be nothing.

Without any loss, he immediately dismissed the case.

"It's my disciple's negligence, I won't dare next time."

Master Xiao surrendered to be taught.

He considers himself unlucky, but Master Wu is too obvious to cover up, who's forge will activate the outer layer of protection after work is over?

Isn't there always someone guarding it?
After opening the protective formation of the forging room, every morning, he had to close it himself, so that apprentices and helpers could enter the yard, which was very troublesome.

From now on, he will have to work hard for a while.
