Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 423 Liu Xing's Foreshadowing

European-style villa, in the lobby.

Only after Sikong Lei walked in did he find out.

At this time, many people in the hall were waiting for him.

These people include foreigners, natives, and even dwarves.

They all looked at Sikong Lei with cold hostility, but none of them took the next step, but all focused their eyes on an old man in red sitting on the Tai Sui chair in the hall.

The red-clothed old man lost one ear and had several terrifying scars on his bare head, but his aura was as strong as that of anyone present.

he.

It is the most powerful figure in the Lin family - Lin Kuantan.

Lin Kuandan is also the founder of the Lin family and the most legendary figure in the Lin family.

He is now 86 years old. If he is not too old and unable to handle some things, I am afraid that the person in charge of the Lin family will not be Lin Yaotian, but Lin Kuantan.

Sikong Lei had already known Lin Kuandan when he was on mission five years ago, and this time when he met again in the European-style villa, he found that the old guy hadn't changed at all, and he felt like he was getting younger as he lived.

Seeing Lin Kuantan staring at him with a smirk on his face, he couldn't help but say coldly, "This time you used the birthday invitation to catch me out, isn't that your idea?"

"That's right!" Lin Kuantan's voice was very sharp, as harsh as noise: "You can come, it shows that you are very sensible, otherwise you will definitely go to hell with Putao before I go to the Zhushen Cave."

"You are so old, can't you stop for a while?" Sikong Lei sensed someone approaching behind him, and immediately kicked him out without looking back.

Only a scream was heard.

The person who was going to sneak attack fell to the ground, spitting blood and trying to get up, but he couldn't get up.

Lin Kuandan touched his bald head and watched this scene with a smile: "It is precisely because I am old that I want to go to the Zhushen Cave for the last time, and try to accumulate more wealth for the Lin family, so that I can live in seclusion with peace of mind. This is the Lin Family Villa. It seems that your kid's skill has not deteriorated in the past few years, very good! Really good, that person just now was just a test, so don't mind it."

"Hmph!" Sikong Lei sneered.

However, he knew that the old fellow Lin Kuantan did not lie to him. The person behind him just now was really testing him. People's skills are good.

"Sikong Lei, I know you are not stupid. I probably guessed the reason why I invited you here. As long as you are willing, everyone here, except me, can listen to you at your command. In the Bamboo God Cave Take any action!" Lin Guandan stared at Sikong Lei with cold eyes, and suddenly said seriously: "But there is one prerequisite, the design drawings of the perpetual motion machine and related books must be brought out of the Zhushen Cave .”

"This is my only condition, I don't care about other things!" After a pause, Lin Kuantan added.

"What if I don't agree?" Sikong Lei asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, I won't kill you, but you may have seen grapes and hats in your life!" Lin Kuantan replied lightly, and then couldn't help laughing.

After all, what he said just now was nonsense. If Lin Putao and Sikong Maomao weren't there as threats, how could he invite this "soldier king" who made foreign mercenaries fearful.

"You!!!" Sikonglei couldn't stand others threatening him with his family members, so he clenched his fists angrily and stared at Lin Kuandan with wide eyes.

The smile on Lin Kuandan's wrinkled face disappeared at this moment, and was replaced by a gloomy coldness. He also stared at Sikong Lei, and the two eyes collided. Suddenly, a murderous aura with the smell of gunpowder emerged, floating in the air. In the hall of the European-style villa.

This moment is quiet.

Everyone around watched this scene with bated breath.

Some people were afraid of hurting Chi Yu with their hands, so they subconsciously stepped back a few steps.

Some timid people were directly frightened into a cold sweat by the murderous aura emerging from Sikong Lei's body. In order not to see Lin Kuandan seeing it, they immediately reached out and wiped it off.

However, this scene didn't last long, after ten seconds, Sikong Lei compromised, his clenched fist hands hang down feebly: "If I agree to your conditions, can I put the grapes and hats in advance? "

There is no way, although he is % sure to kill Lin Kuantan now, but what about Putao and Maomao!

I'm afraid that I will die with Lin Kuantan.

and so……

For grapes and hats, he must endure.

When the opportunity comes, it's not too late to clean up the old man.

"Hahaha... Sikong Lei, you seem to have changed a lot, and you understand the principle of compromise. But it is impossible to put grapes and hats in advance. Others may not know your skills, but I know, back then... ...I shouldn't have encouraged Lin Yaotian to drive you away, or else the Lin family would have one more general now!" Lin Kuandan likes to see capable people compromise and bow their heads in front of him, and after laughing a few times, his eyes glowed The murderous intent disappeared: "Let's do this! As long as you can find the design drawings of the perpetual motion machine in the Zhushen Cave, I will not only put grapes and hats in the future, but also let Lin Yaotian restore your reputation as the son-in-law of the Lin family. You see How about it?"

These words meant to discuss with Sikong Lei, and also meant to put aside past suspicions and cooperate to excavate the Bamboo God Cave, but Sikong Lei was not stupid, and knew that this old fellow Lin Kuantan definitely did not have such good intentions.

After all, how could it be so easy to get the blueprints of the perpetual motion machine in the Bamboo God Cave, otherwise, when Mr. Liu cooperated with Tang Biluo last year, he would not have lost his army and never mentioned the matter of the Bamboo God Cave again.

However, Sikong Lei just thought about this idea in his heart and didn't express it out. Instead, he pretended to ponder for a long time before slowly nodding his head and said: "Since the old Patriarch has said so, then I will naturally try my best to kill you." God Cave retrieved the design drawings of the perpetual motion machine."

This old patriarch is actually a title for Lin Yao's genius.

Sikong Lei addressed Lin Kuantan in front of him, which was clearly a compromise, and hoped that Lin Kuantan would not break his promise.

Lin Lin Kuantan naturally understood the meaning of Sikong Lei's words. After laughing a few times triumphantly, he said, "Since Sikong Lei is so knowledgeable about current affairs, then you should go back to Lin Yaotian first! Go and celebrate his birthday, Grape He and Maomao will also appear at that time, you should accompany them well."

"No! I want to go to the Southwest Mountain in western Hunan right now, let's get acquainted with the environment first!" Sikong Lei said seriously.

If there is no accident, Liu Xing will also go to Xiangxi in these two days. If he can meet up and tell the story of Lin Kuandan's bringing people into the Zhushen Cave, then he should get a countermeasure against Lin Kuandan and even the Lin family.

After all, Liu Xing is now the only person he believes in.

He was also the only one who dealt with the Lin family with intelligence and intelligence.

"What do you mean?" Lin Kuandan looked at everyone in the hall.

Seeing that everyone was silent and silent, his cold eyes narrowed at the moment: "Since there is no objection, then we are going to go to Xiangxi."

"Yes!"

"Go! Let's go!"

"I have to talk to Lin Guoxiu first, and I will meet you at the gate of the Lin Family Villa later!"

"Okay! Remember not to delay too long!"

A dozen people, led by the head dwarf, quickly left the hall of the European-style villa.

Sikong Lei wanted to leave, but was stopped by Lin Kuandan: "Don't go, I'll take you to meet two people, they are the main force entering the Bamboo God Cave this time."

"Okay!" Sikong Lei nodded and followed Lin Kuandan, walking towards a bedroom to the west.

The curtains in the bedroom were drawn so it was very dark.

But Sikong Lei saw a man and a woman sitting in the darkness through his night vision eyes.

This man is very thin, with sickly white skin and deep bags under his eyes. He looks like a zombie who has been sucked dry. As for his age, he seems to be in his 20s at most.

And the woman's whole body was covered in a black robe. Although she couldn't see the whole picture, her black and purple lips made it hard for Sikong Lei to forget.

"Let me introduce. This is Zhang Qiufa, the successor of Luban's organ technique. If you encounter a mechanism in the Zhushen Cave, you can ask him to crack it!" Lin Kuandan knew that Sikong Lei had the ability of night vision. Turning on the light, and without opening the curtains, he pointed to the man in the dark and said.

"Hello!" Sikong Lei nodded slowly, secretly remembering the name Zhang Qiufa in his heart, and at the same time remembering Zhang Qiufa's weakness of being afraid of light.

If you are not afraid of light, it is impossible to hide in the dark in broad daylight.

"En!" Zhang Qiufa responded lightly, and didn't say much.

Lin Guandan pointed to another woman in the darkness and said, "She is Zhang Qiufa's junior sister and also Zhang Qiufa's wife. As for the name..."

Lin Kuandan glanced at Zhang Qiufa, and continued after obtaining consent: "Her name is 'Yue Furong', and she is very poisonous. If you want to kill someone, you can find her, but the price is a bit expensive!"

"Ah?" As soon as he heard that he could use poison, Si Konglei hurriedly distanced himself from Yue Furong with vigilance. He asked why Yue Furong's lips were black and purple, and she turned out to be a master of poison use.

But what about the poison master.

I'm afraid she herself has been poisoned by a poison that is difficult to cure.

Otherwise, he would never be completely covered in black robes, hiding under the darkness.

Seeing that Sikong Lei was a little afraid of her, Yue Furong couldn't help giggling immediately: "Brother Lei, you don't have to be afraid of me, I won't poison you to death until I find the blueprint of the perpetual motion machine from the Bamboo God Cave .”

"Thank you for your mercy!" Sikong Leirao had seen big battles before, and was frightened by Yue Furong's soft voice, as if Yue Furong's words and breath could poison him this year, making people have to be vigilant.

"Would you guys like to chat for a while?" Lin Kuandan suddenly suggested with a dry laugh.

"No!" Sikong Lei hastily refused.

"Then you go and prepare to go to Xiangxi!" Lin Guandan knew that Sikong Lei was a little afraid of Zhang Qiufa and Yue Furong, so he waved his hand with a light smile.

"Okay!" Sikong Lei hastily turned and left.

When he walked out of the gate of the European-style villa, he found a small bug on his arm that was about to penetrate into the skin, and he slapped it to death with a horrified backhand.

"This month's lotus... is this trying to test my vigilance?" Si Konglei hurriedly left after looking at the skillful European-style villa with lingering fear.

Now that there is such a powerful person beside Lin Kuandan, he knows that he is in serious trouble, even if Liu Xing gives him advice, then he may not be able to escape from Lin Kuandan's clutches.

Thinking of this, Sikong Lei became very anxious, and he didn't want to stay in the Lin family villa for a moment.

And in an open space to the west of the Lin Family Villa, hundreds of people gathered to celebrate Lin Yaotian's birthday. While toasting, laughing and chatting, many people turned their eyes to the gift table in the center.

There are all kinds of gifts for Lin Yaotian's birthday on the gift table, from precious gold ornaments to rare -year-old ginseng, it is dazzling and dazzling.

But only a large wooden box on the corner of the gift table attracted the attention of many people. After all, this box is a bit big and the workmanship is a bit rough. It really doesn't look like a container containing any valuable gifts.

Lin Yaotian saw everyone's thoughts, he secretly pulled Lin Putao to an empty corner, and whispered: "If your family has no money, don't give any gifts, look at how many people are They are all preparing to see your jokes! If I didn't let the manager not report the name of the gift on the spot, I'm afraid that my birthday party will be messed up by you, and you will lose all face."

"You didn't even look at what was inside the wooden box, so you are sure that the gift from my brother Lei is not good?" Lin Putao hated her father so much that she didn't speak well.

"Then what do you think is inside?" Lin Yaotian asked angrily.

"Go and see for yourself, anyway, it won't embarrass the Lin family!" After Lin Putuo said this, she took Sikong Maomao who was nestled at her feet and left, and went to talk to her mother.

Lin Yaotian pointed at Lin Putao who was going away and wanted to get mad, but finally he endured it.

Out of curiosity, he came to the large wooden box on the gift table, quietly opened it and took a look.

When I saw that the running water made of Hetian jade, golden nanmu, and mahogany was used inside, I was dumbfounded.

Maybe people don't know the value of this handicraft, but he knows it very well.

Let's not talk about the materials that make running water not rot.

Just rely on this lost craft.

I'm afraid they are priceless.

"It turns out that my son-in-law has such a powerful craftsman by his side!"

"I'm really blind. It looks like I'll have to ask him someday. Maybe this craftsman has a lot to do with the successor of the Bamboo God."

"This gift really suits my heart, no wonder Putao said that she won't embarrass me!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yaotian gasped.

I wanted to take it out to show off, but in the end I didn't do it.

Instead, he ordered someone to secretly carry it away and put it into his treasure house.

When I have time, I will slowly study the production process of flowing water.

Perhaps it is not necessarily possible to figure out the design principle of the perpetual motion machine.

Then what he didn't notice was that after the running water was put into the treasure house, it emitted a strange red light, illuminating the entire treasure house.

However, the red light didn't last long, as if it was releasing a signal.

After it was over, it fell silent again, hiding in darkness.
