The mountain ghost blows out the lights

Dan Ge flew away from the window with great interest, to cut the heart of her wicked heartbreaker.

Linlang Pavilion became quiet again, Babao walked around Li Chuizhu cautiously, raised his claws to take away the tobacco pipe on the wooden table, and ran out the door quickly, not knowing what he was trying to do.

Li Chuizhu raised his eyelids and looked at the rabbit's cowardly look, but didn't bother to pay attention to it.

"It's the first time that a stranger comes to the door at night." Yan Jinping lazily changed his position on the beauty's couch, the black cat jumped up on the armrest, squatted down neatly, his eyes were like fine emeralds, and stared quietly at Shen Lianxing .

"You can still enter the door of my Linlang Pavilion after dark. It's a bit capable...it's the Lushan guy who borrowed your guide." Yan Jinping glanced at Shen Lianxing's pocket with the guide, and said with a smile, "I think you already know us What kind of business is it. Then, may I ask, what is Mr. Shen looking for me here?"

Yan Jinping's expression and posture were careless, as if he didn't care much about this special guest, but only he knew that the moment the man surnamed Shen in front of him stepped into the door of this room, his heart was full of sadness. An inexplicable sense of intimacy made him almost subconsciously put his attitude a lot more kindly.

This state is very unusual, Yan Jinping is very confident in his memory, at least he can be sure, before that, he has never seen Shen Lianxing anywhere else.

It was the first time for Shen Lianxing to come to Linlang Pavilion, and it would cause such a reaction from him. The information implied in it was very interesting.

"Look." Seeing Yan Jinping's casual posture, Shen Lianxing didn't seem to be surprised.He looked around, found a stool from the side and moved it, sat opposite Yan Jinping, facing the eyes of the boss and the black cat, slowly rolled up the left sleeve, exposing the covered arm.

He has acted as usual since he entered the door, no matter what he does, it is very natural.Now that he rolled up his sleeves, Yan Jinping realized that his left hand and his entire arm were all made of wood.

—Wood and metal, arranged and interlaced in an orderly manner.Each section of the finger and arm is chipped from a piece of wood, and the skin texture is not fully restored on purpose.Perhaps because of the consideration of firmness, the hard wood is inlaid with metal, and it doesn't look like something growing from a human body, so it looks like a contradictory strange beauty.

The joints are also very flexible, connected by gears and some fine metal parts.Although the movements were somewhat slow, Yan Jinping could still tell that the movements that this fake arm could make were no different from those of real hands.

Looking all the way up his arm, he realized that even the flesh and blood on his left shoulder had been replaced by organs.

It is a well-designed prosthesis.

I don't know what method Shen Lianxing used, those complicated and inexplicable parts can move automatically with his actions, once he moves, all the parts will work accordingly.Although busy, it never fails.

…Ignoring the materials used to make it, it would appear to be a real human arm.

Yan Jinping looked at Shen Lianxing thoughtfully.

"A while ago...something went wrong. I didn't notice it for a while. I lost an arm, so I made a new one for myself." Shen Lianxing moved the five wooden fingers of his left hand slowly, and some gears immediately turned, driving The bearings and the main body, and the parts that are difficult to see the specific purpose of are working delicately, and the visual effect is very shocking, "But after all, it is not original, and it always feels inflexible."

"I know that the boss is not an ordinary person—" He put down his sleeves and said with a smile, "I want to ask the boss if there is a way to connect this thing with me completely—it is best to have a sense of touch, and it’s okay if I don’t have it. You can use it however you want.”

Yan Jinping straightened up slightly.He has been driving Linlang Pavilion these years, and he has never seen any kind of rare treasures, but most of those things are naturally bred, and the ones they send are also spirits, no matter how rare they are, they are limited.

The man-made mechanism can be so delicate and miraculous, even the owner of Linlang Pavilion, who is used to seeing treasures, saw it for the first time.He couldn't help showing a hint of interest.After looking at it for a while, I found that I couldn't study it thoroughly, and the light in my eyes became brighter and brighter.

Yan Jinping really likes these novelties.

Babao bounced back, not knowing what it was doing with the pipe just now, and now it was put back in Yan Jinping's hand, just in time to see the scene where Shen Lianxing put down his sleeves, he also opened his eyes wide in surprise, and approached cautiously. Going to Shen Lianxing's side, he looked at his exposed fingers curiously.

"Do you want to pet it?" Shen Lianxing was watched by the rabbit, and he didn't think he was disobedient. He passed his arm forward again in a friendly manner, not making big movements, so as not to scare the timid rabbit spirit.

"Can you touch it!" Babao was overjoyed, and looked back at Yan Jinping, and found that his boss raised an eyebrow at him, and without objecting, he happily stretched out a soft rabbit paw, and pressed it carefully on Shen Lianxing's palm. one time.

"Oh." It jumped back shyly, threw itself beside Yan Jinping, buried its face in the soft cushion of the beauty's couch, and twitched its short white tail lightly.

...looks like a lot of fun.

If it wasn't for his identity and image, Yan Jinping would actually like to touch her.

"I often hear that there are techniques in this world that can not only make objects, but even make realistic living things. The walking movements are no different from the real ones, and there are mechanism puppets that can work on their own... Now this is the first time I have seen it. This can already be called a miraculous skill." Yan Jinping rubbed Babao's ear and said in a deep thought, "Your surname is Shen, and you have such abilities... Are you from the Shen family?"

Not to mention being in Yanjing City, the Shen family is quite famous in the world.

There is no other reason, just because they are basically the only family in the world that has mastered a lot of strange skills and skills, and can create mechanisms that no one else can imitate.

No matter where in the world it is, there are always people who own more or less of their creations.

Yanjing City has the most, because the Shen family's family is in Yanjing City.

"Boss, thank you." Shen Lianxing was very calm and did not answer the second half of his sentence.He waved his left hand in the air. After all, it was made of wood, and his movements were still a little slow and stiff, "After all, it's not something that I grew myself. I always feel that it's not interesting to use it, and it's far from being magical. level of skill."

Looking at his expression, Yan Jinping realized that Shen Lianxing was not being modest, but he really felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement in this mechanism.

"I specialize in crafts." Shen Lianxing said again, "Such hands can do rough work, but they can't be used to make fine organs. This is a troublesome thing - I still need to rely on this to make a living."

There was one more thing that Shen Lianxing didn't say, if he couldn't become the head of the family, maybe his life would be lost.

"The Shen family..." Yan Jinping thought for a while, but suddenly his attention turned around.There are not many things in this world that can impress him deeply. When Shen Lianxing said this, that night in Yueqing Mountain more than ten years ago suddenly came to his mind.

The somewhat embarrassed child carried a tattered snake head and a lantern even more tattered than the snake head, untied his hair tie, and made a serious promise to him.

"Sooner or later, I will become the head of the Shen family." The child said, "As long as I can do it, I will give you everything."

After that night, he...

"Mr. Shen, I want to ask you something." Yan Jinping sat up completely and asked, "Who is the head of your family now?"

"...Shen Yuansi." Shen Lianxing didn't know why the boss suddenly became interested in this, so he told him the name of the Patriarch, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yuansi, she was Shen Yuansi at least 30 years ago and has not changed.

It seems that the child has not yet become the head of the house.

How come I forgot to ask his name.

"It's nothing." Yan Jinping leaned back again, "I just remembered an old friend."

"Boss knows the Shen family?" Shen Lianxing asked tentatively.

"It can't be called acquaintance." Yan Jinping waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's just that I met a kid from the Shen family once... I just don't know the name, so it's fine if I don't meet him. I think Mr. Shen will not. know."

He put down his hand, and subconsciously stroked his chest with his fingers—even if it was a fairy or monster, as long as it didn't die and become a ghost, this place should be warm and throbbing.Just where his fingertips touched, he could feel the coldness through his clothes, without any sign of being alive.

——It really shouldn’t be there, there is no support from the heart now, only a piece of shiny white jade is left, quietly staying in his heart, spinning to support his life.

Yan Jinping was in a daze for a moment.

The lingering agarwood permeates the room, and there seems to be birds flying outside the wide open window.

"Master." When Yan Jinping was in a daze, a child who looked only three or four years old floated in from the door cross-legged.

The child was wearing a bright red bellyband, sitting chubby on a small group of white cotton-like clouds, with a round face, like a cute doll in a New Year painting.

Yan Jinping came back to his senses, and looked over with Shen Lianxing.

While the doll was floating in the air, it kept both hands.The chubby little hands tore off a small piece from the cloud sitting under him, kneaded it with both hands, and quickly kneaded the pieces into a large light cloud, which hung over the heads of several people, He flew out along the window that the crane girl left open.

"Huh, there are guests?" He finished pinching a piece of cloud, poked his head down from the edge of the cloud, and then met Shen Lianxing's eyes, his voice was very clear, "Oh, did I disturb you?"

Shen Lianxing looked up at the child making clouds with great interest, then shook his head with a smile and said, "No, who is this?"

Although he looks like a child, the child's speech and behavior are very clear and organized. In addition, he flew in on a cloud, so he will never be a simple character. Shen Lianxing has no intention of underestimating him, so he treats him as an adult Treated the same.

"Yuntong." Yan Jinping called the child who was about to fly out of the window, and asked, "Didn't you just pinch the cloud yesterday, why are you pinching again today?"

"Mr. Long invited me to help." Yun Tong smiled, "It will rain tomorrow morning, if the guests stay for a long time, remember to take an umbrella when you leave."

He beckoned with his fat little hand, and condensed out of the air a ball of non-stop swirling water droplets, stuffed it into the cloud, supplemented the small piece he had just pulled off, and complained to Yan Jinping in distress: " It’s been raining a lot lately for Mr. Long, the building is damp, and the calligraphy and paintings in the side room are going to be moldy. Aren’t you on good terms? My boss, you should talk about him too.”

The child's voice is very tender, like a baby, not as cautious and respectful as Babao Dange and the others.

Yan Jinping just smiled and waved his hands: "Mr. Long has always been friends with Linlang Pavilion, and he is a big guest. Besides, he recently had a son, so it's normal for him to be lively, and he won't be in a few days."

Yuntong just complained casually, and he was busy going outside to spread the rain with Long Jun, so he patted the cloud and floated out of the window, and the voice came in from the window: "Then don't disturb you two, I will first Let's go."

...One or two like to go through the window, as if there is no main entrance in Linlang Pavilion.
