The Boss Behind The Game

In the last five minutes of the foundry master's trial, when Ou Tian thought that no one could shake his number one, the game prompt suddenly appeared, shocking all the players including Ou Tian.

The eyes of all players subconsciously swept to the leaderboard.

[Foundry Master Transfer Points List (remaining time: 4 minutes and 23 seconds)]:

First place: Lin Tie (31872 points, completed the third ring task)

Second place: Ou Tian (10864 points, completed the task of the third ring)

Third place: Hu Long (2542 points, completed the task of the third ring)

Fourth place: Mu Ye (2088 points, completed the third ring task)

...

Seeing the points for the first place, all players were frightened.

Occupying the first place on the list with a score three times higher than the second place, this kind of transcendence can be described as crushing.

Even Bronze Hang, who was fighting with Panshi and Hydra against the Landlord in the casting room, widened his eyes after seeing the points ranking, and seemed a little unbelievable.

At this time, the game prompt appeared again.

[Announcement from the whole district, the foundry master trial has officially ended. The first player in this trial, "Lin Tie", will receive a purple-quality forging hammer "Glazed Hammer" and a purple-quality refining furnace "Flying Glass" as a gift from the system. Xingding" a]

After the announcement, all players appeared in front of the "Year Flow" modeling display created by Lin Tie.

Watermelon Taro: It’s so delicate, I think... well, I mean, can the master make one for me (funny)

Holding the Jade Rabbit and Roasting Chang'e: At first glance, it looks like a master of folk crafts, this weapon is more like a handicraft, I like it very much (love~)

The strongest Sydney: Too much 6, 30,000 points, which means it is twice as good as the "Moon Sky Blade" with two skills. It's too powerful. Is this the strong one? (Looking up)

Crayon Shin-chan: Although I admire this big guy named Lin Tie for making such an exquisite weapon, let me ask, besides being a wife...ahem...does it have any other uses? How to use it, it's not a robot, it can't fight by itself!

A big wolf dog replied to Crayon Shin-chan: You have too much shit,

This is art, do you understand art, art is for appreciation (Shimo overhead view)

The heir of the Lin family's hammer: Daddy Niubi, I knew you would be number one (happy)

...

At the moment when the final result appeared, the "Yueyueliu" created by Lin Tie immediately became the focus of discussion among the players, and the popularity completely surpassed the "Moon Sky Blade" forged by Ou Tian before.

Even Ou Tian himself was stunned. He looked at the exquisite puppet in the form of a delicate woman with a complicated expression, but he had to admit that he did lose, and he lost completely.

"Lin Tie, I will surpass you!" At this time, Ou Tian's heart was full of unwillingness, but he was also inspired to fight.

Although this is a game, Ou Tian swore in his heart that he must be the strongest foundry master, because he is a descendant of Ou Yezi!

At this time, Ou Tian had already declared war on Lin Tie in his heart.

...

At this time, on a cliff on the Liuli Coast, a white-haired old man was sitting. He held a fishing rod and seemed to be fishing, but his eyes were staring blankly at the other end of the sea, as if he had something on his mind.

A gust of sea breeze blew in, and his figure couldn't help swaying, like a candle in the wind, his body was only decayed, and he didn't have the slightest vitality of a living person, sitting there was like a sculpture.

At this time, the reminder of the trial ranking appeared.

The old man habitually reached out his hand to turn off the prompt, but when he saw the appearance of the humanoid puppet, he suddenly froze.

A gleam of brilliance appeared in the cloudy eyes at this moment, and his lips trembled slightly, opening and closing twice.

"Years... months... flow!"

"Years... months... flow!"

Staring straight at the puppet on the display panel, the old man gradually became emotional.

"The years flow, hahaha!"

At this moment, Tang Mu burst into tears, and couldn't help but shed tears. He reached out to touch the "Year Flow" on the panel, but his hands pierced through.

The memory also returned to that day 57 years ago at this moment.

...

In November of that year, it snowed heavily.

According to local customs, Tang Mu, led by his parents, went to a temple on a nearby mountain to burn incense.

Due to the large flow of people on the mountain that day, the way up the mountain was full of people, and the way up the mountain seemed to be queuing up, and it took a while to go up the few steps.

Tang Mu was only 13 years old at the time, and he really couldn't stand this kind of environment, so he wanted to go back.

However, the parents were more pious, and they were not influenced by Tang Mu. They just comforted them, but they did not leave.

It was already evening when Tang Mu followed his parents to the top of the mountain.

When his parents went into the Buddhist temple to burn incense, the curious Tang Mu walked out along the side door of the temple and started wandering on the mountain.

As a result, he lost his way while walking, and the noise of tourists around him also faded away. At this time, Tang Mu was already frightened.

At that time, he panicked and started running around the back hill like a headless chicken.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and there was still heavy snow in the sky, Tang Mu's face turned blue from the cold.

Tang Mu, who thought he was going to die, was frightened and cried, and ran forward all the way.

At this moment, he found a dilapidated small temple with faint fire flickering inside.

At that time, Tang Mu was already too cold to die. After stopping for a while outside the dilapidated temple, he boldly walked in.

This step is fate.

Tang Mu saw a ragged old man in the dilapidated temple.

The old man huddled into a ball, sitting in front of the bonfire piled up with wood to enjoy the fire, holding a woman in his hands, more precisely a doll.

That puppet looks like a beautiful lady, it is as vivid as if it was just drawn, and its expression is lifelike, its eyes and eyelashes seem to be covered with tears, which makes people feel pity when they see it, if you don't look carefully, you won't find it It's just a puppet.

The old man was very surprised to see Tang Mu, and found that Tang Mu's body was still shaking, so he beckoned Tang Mu to sit over.

At first, Tang Mu seemed very scared, basically he only answered the old man's questions.

Seeing Tang Mu's fear, the old man smiled and said:

"Have you seen the silk puppet show?"

Tang Mu shook his head blankly.

Hearing this, the old man picked up the doll and stood up.

Then he performed with the puppet in front of the bonfire. Under his control, the puppet danced lightly, looking forward to the sky. Although it was painted with sad makeup, it was extremely beautiful, as if there was such a woman beside the old man, dancing with him, floating like a fairy.

There are joys and sorrows, crying and laughing in the old man’s voice, Tang Mu, the guest, seems to be a bystander, watching the puppet follow the rhythm of the old man’s hands, sometimes pulling it like flying, sometimes swaying forward and backward, making the puppet The phantom around the old man seems to be cheering for the old man's dancers.

What made Tang Mu even more unbelievable was that every time the beautiful puppet looked past the old man, his eyes seemed to reveal affection and admiration.

Tang Mu, who was exposed to the puppet show for the first time, couldn't help but be fascinated.

That night Tang Mu had a dream, dreaming that he was dancing with a doll with a beautiful face in the heavy snow, everything seemed so beautiful.

The next day, at dawn, the old man woke up Tang Mu who was still asleep, and told him how to get to the temple in front of the mountain.

After a dream last night, Tang Mu blurted out and told the old man that he wanted to learn the silk puppet show.

The old man looked very surprised, and just stared at Tang Mu for a moment, as if he could see the firmness in Tang Mu's eyes. The old man sighed, turned around and came to the foot of the wall, picked up a large wooden box and handed it to Tang Mu.

Tang Mu curiously opened the wooden box after receiving it, and found a lifelike doll lying inside.

Then the old man gave Tang Mu another book and told him that he was dying and couldn't teach him, if he was talented, he could just study by himself.

Before leaving, Tang Mu asked the old man what the doll's name was.

The old man replied with a smile: "Time flows!"

...

After that, Tang Mu seemed to be a different person, completely obsessed with the silk puppet show.

Tang Mu's changes made his parents furious, and the teacher asked him to communicate with him several times for advice, but Tang Mu at that time could be said to have never listened to advice.

After beating and beating, cursing and cursing, after exhausting all methods, Tang Mu became a hopeless person in the eyes of everyone.

When he was an adult, he was kicked out of the house by his parents.

At that time, Tang Mu had only a doll to accompany him.

Even in the future, he relied on performing silk puppet shows for others for a living, full and hungry for a while, and became a homeless man.

Once this string puppet show is performed, it will last a lifetime.

At the age of 53, he received news that his father had passed away.

Although he was kicked out of the house, Tang Mu hurried back home.

Seeing the ragged Tang Mu coming, his relatives regarded him as a beggar and drove him out.

Tang Mu rushed in again, shouting his name loudly, telling his relatives his identity.

However, the imaginary touch did not appear, and everyone still looked at him like a stranger, even her mother.

Tang Mu felt a pain in his heart, he resisted the gazes of his relatives, kowtowed in front of his father, then turned and ran out.

The distraught Tang Mu thought of the old man at this moment, and then went up the mountain with "Sai Yueliu" and found the ruined temple.

At this time, the ruined temple was covered with spider webs, and the old man had disappeared long ago.

That night, it snowed again, just like the night 40 years ago.

The snow was heavy, and Tang Muther shivered with the cold. Then he found dry firewood and lit a fire to keep warm.

Amidst the pulsation of the bonfire, Tang Mu looked at the "flow of time" in his arms obsessively.

After a while, he suddenly showed anger: "I've been down and out for dozens of years, and it's all because of you. It's cold and I can't even afford clothes, and now I don't even recognize my relatives. Tonight It’s snowing heavily, I’m freezing and starving, what use are you for? It’s better to burn it to keep me warm!”

How many 40 years can there be in life, 40 years of being obsessed, and 40 years of being depressed. At this time, Tang Mu felt that his entire life was ruined in the hands of this puppet.

Thinking of this, Tang Mu suddenly pushed the "Time Flow" in his hand into the bonfire.

The light of the fire passed over the puppet's gorgeous dancing sleeve singing shirt, burning the delicate bones carved from basswood, making a beeping, popping sound.

At that moment, the puppet stood up slowly by itself, bowed sadly to Tang Mu, as if thanking Tang Mu for his company for 40 years, and could faintly see two lines of tears falling from the puppet's eyes. farewell.

Looking at the blazing bonfire, Tang Mu suddenly burst into tears:

"Without you, I have nothing..."

The bonfire lasted for a long time that night, warming the entire temple and guarding Tang Mu until the moment when the snow stopped at dawn.

And Tang Mu also sat there all night, his mind full of images of him dancing with the puppet in the past 40 years, but at this time the "time flow" has already been turned into fly ash under the burning of the flame.

The orchid refers to the twisted dust like water, and the three-foot red platform is blown with thousands of songs.

Singing goodbye for a long time is not sad, and the very red place turns into ashes.

(Actually, when writing Lin Tie, Tang Mu’s appearance has already been set up. The plot of Tang Mu is adapted from the plot of "The Silk-drawing Opera". You can go and listen to it. It is a very nice ancient song, and it is strongly recommended. Ya~)
