The unnamed hilltop, bathed in the setting sun, was ablaze with golden light.
In the late autumn and early winter, the leaves cast a golden glow under the sunlight. After the old hunter saw off Shen Dongsheng and the two villagers, he sat down on the withered grass leaves of Jin Yan, smoked his pipe, and stared at Zheng Ya without saying a word.
If Zheng Ya hadn't used his special ability to sense his extraordinary skills, he would have been terrified by his gaze. What was an old man thinking, looking at a young man like that?
Is it good to be gay?
The ambiguous atmosphere lasted for more than five minutes. When they heard gunshots coming from afar, the old hunter took his pipe off his mouth, tapped it on a small stone on the ground, shook off the ash from the pipe, and said, "Young man, you're quite good?"
"Old man, you're no ordinary person either!" Zheng Ya replied sincerely. This old man was truly extraordinary.
He possessed both Lu Ban's mechanical skills and Lu Ban's carpentry skills.
This is simply a miracle.
You should know that Lu Ban is the ancestor of all carpenters in the world.
However, few people know that Lu Ban's greatest skills were mechanical engineering and woodworking.
Few people may be familiar with the term "Mu Kui".
But if you mention the term "drought demon," many more people will know it.
The drought demon is a fire-eating spirit; its appearance signifies the coming of a drought.
Mu Kui belongs to the category of drought demons.
She is the Wood Spirit, a being that absorbs the essence of plants and trees to become a kind of wood spirit.
The difference is that the wood spirits love the plants and trees and will not harm them in the slightest.
Just like the drought demon, when the Wood Demon appears, large areas of forests and vegetation wither and die. In reality, the Wood Demon absorbs the essence of the vegetation, causing the trees to wither and die.
The Wood-Making Technique is a kind of magic that involves adorning wood with incantations.
For example, by making a bed and secretly placing a wooden magic spell on it, one can cause discord or harmony between the couple sleeping in the bed.
The Wooden Ribbon Technique allows one to set up a wealth-giving and wealth-attracting structure on the roof beams.
In short, there are many variations, and it all depends on individual understanding.
After all, all things have a spirit; it all depends on one's own cultivation and whether one can grasp the spirit of all things and use it for one's own benefit.
Wood-based magic is a unique spiritual art belonging to the plant and tree category.
Mechanical arts are second only to wooden arts.
At present, the old hunter is proficient in mechanical arts, his carpentry skills are second best, and he has only mastered two ways of making money and smooth sailing in woodcraft.
Both are the Wood-based techniques for settling down and making a living.
This showed that the old hunter had a kind heart, which surprised Zheng Ya, who treated him with great courtesy.
Although the Wood-based magic is dispensable to Zheng Ya and is far inferior to any superpower, it would be helpful if he possessed wood-based superpowers. However, this does not prevent Zheng Ya from learning the Wood-based magic and passing it on to his relatives and friends.
Besides, mechanical arts are a valuable skill.
Zheng Ya directly incorporated the old hunter's signature skills into his body, mastering all three abilities, and immediately felt he had struck gold.
After all, any skill that is incorporated into his body can be upgraded by consuming virtue and faith value, so his future is limitless!
Unfortunately, Zheng Ya had too few virtue and faith values, making him vulnerable, and he hadn't had time to upgrade his various technologies.
The old hunter was satisfied with his calm, experienced, and neither humble nor arrogant attitude. He then raised his pipe, pointed at the tiger in front of Zheng Ya's feet, and said, "Young man, you used your internal energy to kill the tiger and then used arrows to fool people, didn't you?"
"Haha, old man, you hit the nail on the head! You're a true expert!" Zheng Ya wasn't surprised that the old man had seen through the problem.
An old man who knows the art of wood magic possesses a level of spiritual perception that cannot be ignored.
The old hunter, keeping it to himself, nodded with satisfaction and said, "You've cultivated such strength at such a young age; it's rare to find someone like you in this world."
This proves that you are spiritual, resilient, and so calm, completely surpassing the wisdom that an average elderly person should possess.
Are you interested in the inheritance of Lu Ban's legacy?
"Hiss, the legacy of Lu Ban, old man, are you sure?" Zheng Ya feigned surprise and asked incredulously.
Although there's no need to learn Lu Ban's legacy now—he knows everything the old hunter knows—we still need to give him enough respect.
These days, there are countless people who have forgotten the traditions passed down from their ancestors.
If even one or two people can master the legacy of their ancestors, they are incredibly precious.
Zheng Ya dared to say that if the old hunter went to the leadership and said, "I am a descendant of Lu Ban," he would be guaranteed to be treated as a national treasure by the leaders.
But why would an old hunter prefer to stay in a remote mountainous area, farm, and enjoy a peaceful life?
Perhaps they are utterly disappointed because they can't find a successor.
The old hunter said excitedly, "So it seems you're very interested in the legacy of Lu Ban?"
"So, can you help me continue the legacy of Lu Ban?"
"Old man, you really believe that I can help you continue the legacy of Lu Ban?" Zheng Ya was greatly shocked.
I gleaned several layers of meaning from the old hunter's words.
He doesn't accept apprentices; he simply asked him to help continue the legacy of Lu Ban.
Does this mean the old hunter is nearing the end of his life?
It seemed to be true. With a thought, Zheng Ya fully sensed the old hunter's body and discovered that the old hunter had an old injury on his lumbar spine, which was endangering the function of his bone marrow and was extremely dangerous.
Bone marrow provides blood, which is the most essential blood-producing ability of the human body.
Human blood is not a fixed quantity or quality. It circulates throughout the body according to the heartbeat, invisibly consuming the body's vital energy and becoming a source of energy for the body.
It is evident that bone marrow hematopoiesis is equivalent to prolonging human life.
Once severely damaged, affecting hematopoiesis, it can be fatal.
The old hunter smiled bitterly and said, "I am sixty-three years old this year. I know that my fate is beyond my control. In addition, I was injured in the lumbar spine by a bear when I was young. I won't live much longer."
It is a rare privilege to meet such a spiritual person as you, a master of martial arts, before I die.
"Could you do me a favor and help me continue the legacy of Lu Ban? Please!"
"What is your surname, sir? Do you have any other relatives?" Zheng Ya wanted to take him home.
The Dragon and Tiger Bone-Setting Soup can slowly heal the old hunter's hidden lumbar spine injury, but it must be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late.
The old hunter sighed, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Alas, they're all gone. They were all killed by the Japanese devils. I hate them!"
"Grandpa, come home with me."
My master is a legendary doctor at the Sun Family Medical Clinic; curing your old injury shouldn't be a problem.
Don't worry, I'll help you find Lu Ban's successor.
"You don't want the legacy of Lu Ban to end, do you?" Zheng Ya used a roundabout tactic to persuade him to go home and talk about it later.
You should know that an elderly person suffering from a serious illness may be kept going by just one breath. When the vital energy supporting the body dissipates, the person will die.
The legacy of Lu Ban has become a pillar for the old hunter to entrust his spirit and energy!
The old hunter paused, suppressing his sorrow, and asked for help: "Don't you want to learn Lu Ban's legacy?"
Don't worry, it won't affect your ability to find other masters...
"Old man, you are an elder of the older generation. I need to ask my master about this kind of thing."
After all, this respect should be given to the master, right? Zheng Ya continued to deceive, but Old Master Sun didn't have so many scruples.
The old apprenticeship system emphasized that a teacher for a day is a father for life, and that one should master a skill and study it until death.
Be consistent from beginning to end, and respect teachers and their teachings.
Some elderly people believe in this, and look down on those who learn a little bit here and a little bit there, only to end up accomplishing nothing.
