The Great Biography of the Craftsman

Chapter 8 Foundation Building
"Craftsman way?" Lu Yun was startled, his brows furrowed.

"That's right, it's the artisan's way!" Gongsun Ba said here, with a solemn face, and said solemnly: "The world is long, the avenue is vast, and the manpower is endless. The human heart is endless. If you want to ride the wind for nine days, you can't. If you want to move mountains and fill the sea, you can't." , the craftsman's way was born! The craftsman's way makes ears! The fisherman bows his boat and lays the net, the woodcutter sharpens his knife and chops the wood, every boat and net, every knife and chopping, all are craftsmen's way!"

Hearing this, Lu Yun was thoughtful, then he raised his head and asked with some hesitation: "You mean, I can practice artisanship?"

Hearing this, Gongsun Ba was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he looked Lu Yun up and down, and said with some embarrassment: "Practicing the way of craftsman requires extremely high talent and heart. You look like this. Barely qualified."

"Since that's the case, please teach me how to practice craftsmanship!" Lu Yun said respectfully, hiding the excitement in his heart.

"Teach you? Can craftsman's way be taught casually?" Gongsun Ba raised his eyebrows, but he was secretly proud that you finally took the bait!
"Then what do you want?" Lu Yun's face darkened, and the hatchet in his hand shook. Although he knew that he couldn't do anything to Gongsunba, he couldn't give up the opportunity to practice again!

"You...you kid, do you still want to practice craftsman's way?" Seeing Lu Yun's gloomy face, Gongsun Ba asked hastily, sweating secretly in his heart. He finally met a suitable disciple, so he couldn't be self-defeating.

"Think!" Lu Yun replied firmly.

"Since you want to, let's become a teacher!" Gongsun Ba raised his head, stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Lu Yun didn't say much anymore, he had already given up hope of cultivation, he couldn't think of a turning point, he didn't hesitate any more, took three steps back, and bowed respectfully to Gongsunba, "Master, please accept the disciple Bless!"

Gongsun Ba laughed, and said he was a good apprentice, his heart was already full of joy, and with a few words, he accepted an apprentice with excellent temperament and talent. Although he took a few blows from this kid, it was worth it.

"Old ghost Lu, I was defeated by you back then, but today I am the master of your descendants. Fate is impermanent. I don't know how you would feel if you knew it!" Gongsun Ba said secretly.

He looked at Lu Yun again, the more he looked more satisfied, he couldn't help nodding and smiling.

Lu Yun was so stared at by him that he panicked. Seeing Gongsunba's satisfied expression, he immediately understood that what he just said "barely qualified" was a lie, but it seems that he won't lose too much by accepting this cheap master.

Lu Yun secretly scolded the cunning old ghost, and then said: "Then Master, can you teach me how to practice craftsman now?"

Gongsun Ba smiled slightly, and said: "It's not enough now, I still have some common sense things to tell you, so as not to embarrass me in the future! Also, you can call me an old ghost, and it will be awkward for Master to listen to!"

"Follow the teacher's order!" Lu Yun responded, and then quickly changed his words: "I will obey the old ghost's order!"

"This sounds much more pleasing to the ear!" Gongsun Ba smiled slightly, and said seriously: "Just now I said 'the craftsman makes ears', but it refers generally. Generally speaking, the craftsman refers to the refining tool. Dao, but you need to cultivate the Dao first.

Everything in the world, the cycle of cause and effect, contains the ultimate truth.High mountains and flowing water, dense and dense branches and leaves, wind and clouds gathering, these are all formations! "

Speaking of this, Gongsun Ba glanced at Lu Yun, saw that his brows were slightly wrinkled, and said again: "Actually, I have said so much, the way of formation is only four words: make the best use of the situation!"

"Take advantage of the situation?" Lu Yun asked in doubt, then pondered for a long time, his eyes flashed, and said: "Water flows from high places to the ground, and the dense and dense branches and leaves are all facing the sun, because they follow the trend, make the best use of the situation, and gradually approach nature! "

Gongsun Ba nodded, very satisfied with Lu Yun's comprehension, "That's right, the Dao of Formation is to take advantage of the power, the power of all things, the power of heaven and earth! A master of formation is not necessarily a master of artisanship. But he must be someone who knows how to take advantage of the situation.”

Lu Yun listened, nodding and frowning from time to time, no doubt in his heart, this old man still has some skills.

Gongsun Ba also told Lu Yun a lot of common sense about artisanship. Although Lu Yun only understood half of what he heard, he kept it in his heart, and it would not be too late to figure it out in the future.

"Okay, now that I've said that, it's almost done." Gongsun Ba suddenly smiled secretly, and there was a trace of weirdness in his eyes staring at Lu Yun, "Now we will start to practice the first level of craftsmanship, are you ready?"

Lu Yun saw his strange expression, with a malicious look on his face, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart, "Old ghost, what are you going to do?"

"Hey!" Gongsun Ba smiled, "Cut the hair and wash the marrow for you, and build the foundation of cultivation!" After finishing speaking, a few milky white stones suddenly appeared in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the few milky white stones disappeared in an instant. It landed on the ground around Lu Yun, and then glowed with white light.

Lu Yun was surprised to find that his body could not move the slightest bit, he opened his mouth, but could not make a sound.

"Don't blame the old man!" Gongsun Ba smiled with a conspiracy, and then on the palm of his hand, a group of red and blue flames appeared.He slowly approached Lu Yun, instead of looking at the angry expression on his face, he pressed the flame on the top of Lu Yun's head!

As soon as Gongsun Ba approached, Lu Yun felt a burst of burning heat rushing towards his face.When Gongsun Ba pressed the flame on top of his head, he felt a hot current flowing down from the heavenly spirit, swimming to all limbs and bones of his body.

At first it felt warm and quite comfortable, but after only five breaths, there was a sense of boiling all over the body, one after another domineering heat flow along the meridians, crazily and turbulently, the body seemed to be bursting.

This hot current rushed through his veins over and over again, until Lu Yun's head swelled and his eyes were red!Then the heat began to invade the musculoskeletal, and the bone-biting pain of thousands of ants reappeared again. The pain made Lu Yun's face hideous, and his spirit seemed to float out of his body. Suddenly, he seemed to smell the smell of barbecue and a stench!
I don't know how long it has passed, the pain on his body disappeared, Lu Yun slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was a somewhat wretched face, which was looking at him with a smile at this moment!

"Old ghost! You cheated on me!" Lu Yun jumped up and punched the wretched face in front of him!

Gongsun Ba let out another strange cry, quickly dodged the punch, and cursed: "You ungrateful boy, this old man helped you build your foundation, yet you actually repay this old man like this! How unreasonable!"

A punch hit the air, and there was a piercing bang. Lu Yun suddenly froze. He withdrew his hand and looked at his fist in shock. His skin, which was originally fair, was now pitch-black and exuded a foul smell.

Lu Yun lowered his head, looked at his whole body, and found that it was pitch black and his body was full of stench.Then he punched out again, and a loud bang sounded immediately!
Lu Yun stared blankly at his fist, ignoring the stench on his body, feeling the powerful force coming from his body, he suddenly raised his head to the sky and screamed, tears streaming down his face!
The discrimination and humiliation endured for 16 years can be vented at this moment!
The bone-eating pain of being deprived of the wild pattern and the despair of the deep cold are finally gone today!
The excitement of regaining strength and new life is like a surging river, which is hard to suppress and hide!

Tears all cry silently!
Lu Yun plopped down on his knees, and solemnly kowtowed to Gongsunba!

At this moment, he finally recognized Gongsun Ba as his master from the deepest part of his heart!
Gongsun Ba was touched by Lu Yun, as if he was recalling something, his face was lonely!After a long time, he smiled relievedly, and said loudly: "Good apprentice!" Immediately, he supported Lu Yun with both hands and stood up.

What moistened the eyes?
My eyes are blurred...
