"You're saying that Qiu Yan only took half a day to make this...stove?"

Chen Jing stood in the inner room, looking at the thing composed of a skin bag and several booms in front of him, with curiosity on his face.

Two days ago, Chen Jing followed Zhen Zhizuo and others to Yuanning Prefecture to pick up Qiu Yan and go to Dongdu. However, when he arrived, he found out that Qiu Yan had already left for Rongzhou to congratulate his friend and left a letter. To Zhen Zhizuo.

Later, Zhen Zhizuo sent Zhang Yu and others to investigate, and soon learned of Qiu Yan's itinerary, and then followed him all the way to Xingtai Town.

As soon as they arrived in the town, they noticed an undercurrent from the people coming and going. However, they were just passers-by. Of course, there was no need to go into details. They just went to inquire about Qiu Yan's news. After a little inquiry, they found out. Almost everyone in the town expressed their dissatisfaction with what Qiu Yan had done before, and the crowd was excited.

After spending a lot of effort, Chen Jing and others found the Liu family's blacksmith shop and saw the stove that everyone mentioned.

Zhen Zhizuo and Lin Jue stood next to Chen Jing, both of them looking at the devices in the room.

"Exactly, before Qiu Yan left, he left this picture behind..." Liu Xin, who was smiling apologetically next to a few people, said that and handed over a piece of paper in his hand.

The paper has been torn, but the writing is still clear.

Chen Jing took it and took a look, glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed, and he was amazed: "Good calligraphy, good calligraphy, no wonder even that kid Qi Jiulian thinks he is not as good as him." After sighing a few words, his His attention was attracted by the structural diagram above, "Is this considered the category of mechanism art? But it doesn't look complicated. Can you use the blast method to heat the fire? Senior brother, come and take a look..."

Chen Jing handed over the paper in his hand.

Zhen Zhizuo took it, looked at it in detail, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "This method is very clever. I heard that the manufacturing bureau on the outskirts of Dongdu. It cost tens of millions of taels to build a blast furnace. It was made of yellow stone." Heating and frying steel with red gall water is quite inferior compared to this stove..."

Lin Jue also came up to watch and nodded in agreement.

Chen Jing smiled and said, "That's not all. Blowing can be used for heating. This method has been mentioned before. Before I became a disciple, I went to the Military Academy in Xingjing with my father. There was also a blowing device there, but it was not used in the same way. "External law."

Zhen Zhizuo knew what Chen Jing was talking about, so he shook his head and said, "I have also seen the blast furnace of the Xingjing Military Academy. It is smarter and less labor-intensive than Qiu Yan's method, and is suitable for large-scale weapon production."

Chen Jing did not argue and just said: "Senior brother. The important thing about Qiu Yan's method is that it can be used by ordinary people. It doesn't cost much, and there is no need to be restrained by strange powers and gods. It can be heated and cast by itself. It’s a clever design, I wonder how Qiu Yan came up with it.”

Liu Xin was waiting nearby. Hearing this, he quickly said: "Qiu Yan did not create this stove. He just received it from the gods."

Lin Jue, who had been silent all this time, frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Deshen's teaching? Did Qiu Yan tell you?"

"No, no." Hearing this question that seemed to be without any emotion, Liu Xin felt inexplicably cold. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "Qiu Sheng didn't say that. He left the stove quickly after leaving it behind. , as for this divine revelation, it was just a dream of a villain!"

"It's not what Qiu Yan said, but it was your own dream. How can you be sure?" Zhen Zhizuo also shook his head, feeling that it was ridiculous.

Liu Xin said: "Not only did the villain have this dream, but everyone else present that day also dreamed of the same scene. How could it be like this if the gods didn't appear?"

Chen Jing said: "The gods think they are superior to others and must restrict humanity in everything. How can they grant such skills? Aren't they afraid of opening up people's wisdom? Besides, those gods are superstitious about extraordinary power and use magical powers to solve everything. How is it possible to know the art of mechanism?"

After hearing this, Zhen Zhizuo said in a deep voice: "Be careful what you say and don't forget the teachings of the sages."

"I know, if you don't talk about strange power and disturb the spirit, the sage is also afraid that if you talk too much, you will leave something to say. After all, what we do is to compete with Shinto for jobs. We only do it but don't talk about it." Chen Jing smiled.

Seeing his appearance, Zhen Zhizuo could only helplessly shake his head and asked Liu Xin: "Qiu Yan made a stove for you. It can help make fire and is beneficial to the art of smelting. Why do the people in the town So hostile to him?"

Liu Xin said with a bitter face: "It's not because we offended the gods. How can we, mortals, compete with the gods? As soon as Qiu Sheng left, Huo Zheng punished us, causing the fire temperature in other homes to slowly increase and lower. Pig iron quality.”

When Chen Jing heard this, he laughed again: "This is a stupid god. By doing this, isn't he forcing the people in the town to choose stoves? As a human being, it is really infuriating to be led by such a powerful person! "

Liu Xin immediately panicked: "Young Master, don't talk nonsense. There are gods with your head three feet high. Who dares to use this stove in every household now? My family just hasn't had time to dismantle it." Although he was uneducated and incompetent, he was familiar with the gods. There is still a sense of awe left.

"Okay, okay, don't worry. It's me who criticizes the gods. Why should you worry?" Chen Jing raised his hand and threw a piece of broken silver. "This is the silver you agreed on, take it."

Liu Xin quickly caught the silver and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhen Zhizuo handed back the somewhat torn paper in his hand and motioned to Liu Xin to put it away.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xin said: "Young masters, if you need it, please take this picture away. It is of no use keeping it. Almost everyone in the town has seen it, and the stove is not complicated. This thing It’s of no value at all.”

"What did you say?" Chen Jing's eyes widened, he looked Liu Xin up and down, and finally burst into laughter. He pointed at Liu Xin and said, "You grovel for a few taels of silver, but you treat words worth dozens of taels." He is dismissive of it. He does not value the extraordinary stove, but values ​​the gods. He really has no vision and no knowledge of the treasure he possesses. "

"You...what did you say?" Liu Xin felt awkward at first, but after hearing this, his eyes widened, he swallowed, and stared at the words, "Ten taels?"

"If it hadn't been for the crease, the price would have been raised a few points more." Chen Jing shook his head and pointed, "Of course, if Qiu Yan suddenly died now, then this word would be more valuable. In a few years, the value may be How about a hundred gold? If you don’t want it, it will be taken away by us!”

"Give it back to me!"

As soon as he heard that this calligraphy and painting was so valuable, Liu Xin couldn't calm down, so he stepped forward to snatch it back. He still owed a lot of gambling debts. If the calligraphy and painting were really so valuable, wouldn't it be possible to calm down immediately? , and also make a lot of money?

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist!

Unexpectedly, a strong wind suddenly came from the side. Chen Jing slapped him with a palm, and his hands surged with energy. The energy and blood surged, and the power that exploded shocked the entire blacksmith shop!

boom!

This powerful palm struck Liu Xin's body, which immediately made him feel heartbroken and sweating like rain, but it did not hurt him. Only a strong wind spread through his body and submerged under his feet.

"Uh..." Even so. Liu Xin was shaken by this power and could not control himself.

"Chen Jing!" Seeing this, Zhen Zhizuo couldn't help but said, "Have you forgotten the teacher's teachings again? Don't forget to be respectful!"

"Senior brother. If you want to show off, you must show it before you can remember it." Chen Jing took the piece of paper from Zhen Zhizuo's hand. He raised his hand in front of Liu Xin and said to the latter, "Qiu Yan's calligraphy. It's really sad to let someone like you hold it."

With that said, he handed over the paper.

Liu Xin subconsciously caught it and didn't dare to say another word.

At this time, Lin Jue suddenly said: "Besides us, have you shown this calligraphy picture to other outsiders?"

Liu Xin was in shock at this time. After hearing the question, he instinctively replied: "Yes, Xiangzheng sent people to copy the copy. Yesterday, several scholars also came and copied the copy."

After saying this, it took him a while to recover from the tremor. When he looked again, Zhen Zhizuo and others had left, but Liu Xin had long since stopped caring about anything else. He looked at a calligraphy and painting in his hand and grinned. Laughing, planning to go to Fucheng tomorrow and find a pawn shop to exchange for real money.

Sudden!

Shake!

The whole shop shook. There was a crackling sound, the ground cracked, the walls collapsed, and smoke billowed. Liu Xin screamed strangely, took the paper in his hand, and ran out in a hurry. He stumbled and fell to the ground. He turned around and saw his shop. A scene of collapse.

………………

"If you don't control your temper, you will be kicked out by the teacher sooner or later."

On the way, Zhen Zhizuo warned Chen Jing seriously, but the latter just laughed and didn't seem to take it to heart.

In the following days, they traveled north, but they were always one step slower than Qiu Yan. Everywhere they went, Qiu Yan would definitely leave before them.

Not enough. Along the way, every town and village Qiu Yan passed through would leave behind more or less some things and events.

"This Qiu Yan is not simple. He goes all the way north. Everywhere he passes, he leaves something behind. He can even help others solve cases."

On the carriage, Chen Jing sighed from time to time, holding a few small objects in his hand, all collected on the road, related to Qiu Yan.

Next to him, Lin Jue nodded, and then lowered his voice and said: "It's just that the Kitchen God seems to be not simple, and has a certain connection with Qiu Yan. Wherever Qiu Yan passes by, there are traces of this god, but the name of this god It’s very strange. This god deliberately entered the dream and left his name in order to expand his popularity, which seems to be contrary to the practice of heaven.”

Zhen Zhizuo shook his head and took out a piece of paper from his arms: "You are wrong. The Kitchen God's affairs are not limited to this. Qiu Yan just happened to meet him and was taken advantage of by this god."

Chen Jing raised his eyebrows: "Senior Brother, what do you say?"

Zhen Zhizuo spread out the note in his hand: "This is the news from Fei Ge in the morning. Take a look for yourselves."

Chen Jing and Lin Jue looked at the words, and then their expressions changed.

"Huh? In the past few days, the Kitchen God has left traces and appeared in so many cities, villages and towns? Could it be..."

Chen Jing and Lin Jue looked at each other and uttered one word at the same time——
