Reborn Craftsman

The middle-aged man in black didn't dare to translate these words. He only dared to let Liu Xing know. After coughing lightly in embarrassment, he translated it to James in a bad manner.

James thought that Mr. Liu was praising him, so he proudly said to Liu Xing: "I don't care if you are really capable of opening this treasure chest, but today I will not show you the exquisite bamboo carving in the shape of a dragon, unless your master himself comes forward! "

This is not to look down on Liu Xing, but Liu Xing's age really makes him very suspicious.

If Liu Xing's master is involved, he can give it a try.

"Your uncle, are you kidding me?" Liu Xing slapped the dining table upon hearing this, and after glancing at James, he turned around and walked out of the preserved egg breakfast shop.

He had told Mr. Liu long ago that his master was not in Shonan Province at all, and he didn't know the contact information. This James refused to take out the dragon-shaped exquisite bamboo carving for this purpose. The last three days passed, and then the treasure chest was taken away.

Originally, he wanted to take a step back and think for Liu Lao's sake, but when he thought that he might not be able to open the Luban lock on the treasure chest, he decided to leave immediately, which was the best choice for him.

Liu Lao didn't catch up, but looked at James and his female companion with a gloomy face: "What are you thinking? Don't forget that if the promise between us cannot be fulfilled, none of you will be able to leave here."

"Don't be angry, I was just making a joke with Liu Xing's kid. As for the exquisite dragon-shaped bamboo carving, I'll take it out right away!" James looked at it in fear when he saw that there were many more men in black outside. After the female companion, he smiled and had to take out a black wooden box from his arms.

There is no way, he can look down on Liu Xing, but he can't look down on Liu Lao. Once he behaves like this, he might die without knowing how.

And the items in this wooden box are undoubtedly dragon-shaped exquisite bamboo carvings.

Mr. Liu sneered. Only then did he know that a foreigner like James doesn't need to give him a good look, otherwise he would put his nose on his face. After taking the dragon-shaped exquisite bamboo carving, he said to the middle-aged man in black beside him. : "Go and invite Liu Xing, and say that James has given up under my coercion and lure."

"Okay, Old Liu!"

The middle-aged man in black turned around and walked out of the preserved egg breakfast shop.

James watched the middle-aged man in black leave: "Old Liu, my ugly words are up front. If Liu Xing can't crack the Luban lock, then the treasure chest and your three exquisite bamboo carvings will be mine. Don't try to renege on the debt. This is our responsibility." bet between them."

The words were spoken in English, Mr. Liu smiled in a daze: "I don't understand, we will talk about everything when my people and Liu Xing come."

"Oh!" James rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to drink his tea in silence.

Although he doesn't understand Mandarin, he can tell the general idea from Liu Lao's words and deeds.

At this moment, a black off-road vehicle stopped at the door of the preserved egg breakfast shop, and an old man in red with age spots on his face and a big one-armed man came out of it.

This one-armed man carried a tool bag made of Nanzhu on his back. When he walked around, he made a clanging sound, and he knew that the things inside were not light.

After seeing the one-armed man and the red-clothed old man, Liu Lao stood up in surprise: "Old man Wu, why are you here in YH City?"

The old man in red is the old man Wu in Liu Lao's mouth. They are all veteran cadres who have retired from the province, and they are colleagues with Liu Lao.

"Of course it is to help break the Luban lock!" Old man Wu pointed to the one-armed man behind him and said, "I spent a lot of effort to invite the 292nd generation descendant of Luban from the deep mountains. His name is Zhang Shuilong. Breaking this Luban lock should be easy."

"Really?" Old Liu hesitated when he heard the words.

He had invited Liu Xing to break the Luban lock before, and he also knew Liu Xing's ability. Although the old man Wu invited Zhang Shuilong here out of good intentions, he didn't know why, but it always felt weird.

After pondering for a while, Old Liu said: "Old man Wu, you must be aware of the purpose of my coming to this market, don't do something sinful, that Liu Xing is not simple."

"Hmph! A thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid, do you really trust him that much?" Old man Wu sneered with his hands behind his back: "If not, let Zhang Shuilong crack the Luban lock first, and if it doesn't work, call Liu Xing over here ?”

"Then what about my bet with James?" Elder Liu asked with a frown.

For him, it's not that he doesn't completely understand the design and principle of the Luban lock. As long as the exquisite bamboo carving is placed in the hollows on the southeast, north and west sides of the Luban lock, the exquisite bamboo carving will be damaged once.

If the Luban lock cannot be cracked by then, it will be in big trouble.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has no time to spend now. Don’t look at James’s behavior now. Once three months pass, he will be able to put pressure on behalf of the country. I was afraid that I would watch the treasure chest and the other three exquisite bamboo carvings being taken away.

The old man Wu naturally understands the serious relationship. He chuckled and said, "The bet between you and James represents an individual, not a country. If you lose, you will just argue. What are you afraid of with me supporting you?"

"No! You don't know the backer behind James, and it won't be as simple as just talking!" Seeing that James and his female companion were frowning at him, Old Liu hurriedly whispered something into Old Man Wu's ear.

After hearing this, old man Wu looked at James in surprise, the corner of his mouth twitched, and finally said helplessly: "Then I invited Zhang Shuilong, even if you don't need him to open the lock, you have to pay for it." Give it to him!"

"I don't care about this matter, it's not the person I invited!" Elder Liu laughed.

"That won't work. I've worked so hard for your affairs and didn't ask for a penny. This is already the best of humanity, but you must give Zhang Shuilong's money!" Old man Wu rolled his eyes at Old Liu, seeing Zhang Shuilong staring at the screen of the golden treasure chest. He held his breath, and immediately asked: "How is it, are you sure to open it?"

"Yes, as long as the four exquisite bamboo carvings are here!" Zhang Shuilong replied confidently.

"Are you sure?" Old man Wu was a little surprised.

Liu Lao was also very happy when he was stunned. In this way, he could open the golden treasure chest without asking Liu Xing.

Thinking of this, Liu Laolian said: "The four Linglong bamboo carvings have already been assembled, but you must ensure that you can open them for me at once, otherwise things will be troublesome."

"I'm a descendant of Luban, and I'm very familiar with the design of Luban locks. If it can't be opened, who in the world can open it?" Zhang Shuilong said arrogantly, without any hint of modesty.

Of course, he also has the capital of arrogance.

After opening the bamboo tool bag on the back, he took out a set of weird tools and placed them neatly on the ground.

Old man Wu looked at Old Liu: "how about it, let Zhang Shuilong open the Luban lock? But I agreed in advance that I invited him out of the mountain for [-] yuan. No matter what the final result is, you have to give the money. After all, he is big. It’s not easy to come all the way here.”

"[-]?" Old Liu was almost scared by the number and stood up. He wanted to let Zhang Shuilong go, but finally he endured it.

Because it is urgent to open the Luban lock now, and if it continues to be delayed, it will be 8000 million.

Seeing that Zhang Shuilong was waiting for his words, James also looked impatient, so he could only nod slowly: "Open it, remember to be careful, this golden treasure chest is a national treasure among national treasures, if it is damaged a little, it will be a disaster .”

"Hmph! Since it's a national treasure, why don't you even want me to ask for [-] yuan?" Zhang Shuilong sneered, seeing old man Wu's eyes beckoning him to start, he took four Linglong from the dining table in front of Liu. The bamboo carvings are put into the four holes locked by Luban according to the way of left Qinglong, right white tiger, upper Suzaku, and lower Xuanwu.

Putting it in, it fit perfectly, and just filled the four cavities, and then there was the sound of crunching gears turning.

"There's fun!" Old man Wu happily walked to the golden treasure chest.

Elder Liu also followed, walking a little unsteadily because of his excitement.

As for James and his female companion, after looking at each other, they also came to the side of the golden treasure chest with some disappointment.

They really didn't expect that the country where Liu Xing lived had so many capable people and strangers. It was really unexpected that Liu Xing had just left and yet another one came.

Zhang Shuilong smiled proudly: "Actually, it is relatively easy for me to open this Luban lock. This is an ordinary misplaced four-beast lock. It is not as difficult as other Luban locks I have opened before."

"Then quickly open the treasure chest!" Liu Lao had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and couldn't help urging him now.

"Yes! Open it quickly!" Old Man Wu followed suit.

As long as the items in the golden treasure chest are priceless, Mr. Liu naturally has nothing to say about the mere [-] yuan.

In order to show his respect for the golden treasure chest, Zhang Shuilong put on gloves, and under the attention of everyone around him, he reached out and pressed a raised button on the Luban lock.

Chapter 248 This Luban Lock Is Not Simple

And with the button down.

The sound of gears turning came from inside the Luban lock again.
