Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 147 I Can’t Do It
Luo Fei's eyes were fixed on the star totem behind Tang Zheng, which was gradually going out.
The twin stars circulating in the first life palace constantly stimulated his eyes...
Tang Zheng's story is simple but wonderful.
However, the only person in the audience who hardly cared about what the story was about was probably Luo Fei!
Because every time Tang Zheng made a little change, he asked himself in his heart - Can I do it?
When an ink painting appeared on Tang Zheng's foundry furnace, although he was surprised by Tang Zheng's approach, he told himself that he could do it.
When the ink painting on Tang Zheng's foundry furnace began to move, he was shocked by the terrifying control that erupted from Tang Zheng's simple technique. However, after gritting his teeth, he answered in his heart that he would be able to do it soon if he practiced more.
However, when the animation on the foundry furnace turned into color, and then the whiskers of the lobsters in the water came to life and swayed in the water...
Luo Fei's heart sank.
By this time his answer was that he couldn't do it.
He can't do it!
He was born into the Luo family of Bailianfang. He had been controlling the foundry since he was a child. He had mastered more fire control skills than Tang Zheng. He could even perform difficult fire control techniques that Tang Zheng had never encountered...
But right here, on this casting table, he knew very well that he could not do what Tang Zheng could do!
Even though he didn't want to admit it...
However, his eyes and his experience made him realize clearly that Tang Zheng's control over star power was superior to his!
He was born in Bailian Workshop and knew the importance of controlling star power since he was a child. He also practiced a lot. He really couldn't understand how Tang Zheng could become stronger than him?
It is impossible for the Yin and Yang stars in the first life palace to have such a strong effect.
Even though his Yin and Yang stars seemed to have been blessed by something, they still could not give him such strong control over star power.
His affinity for star power was something Luo Fei had never seen before!
Maybe it's because of his astrological form...
However, even if Tang Zheng had such an affinity with star power, it was still impossible for him to do all this directly.
"He can achieve this level, there is at least one more thing, the key point, I didn't see it!" Luo Fei saw the star pattern on Tang Zheng's body, saw the guiding star of the two stars in one palace, and even vaguely guessed the existence of the star's favor...
But he could never guess what kind of training method Tang Zheng had come up with!
Soon, Shopkeeper Wu's gong sounded, bringing Luo Fei back to his distracted state...
"So, all of Tang Zheng's parts have been produced, and we are just waiting for the final assembly! Let's see what the five masters think of his second competition - Fire Control?"
Luo Fei raised his head suddenly, his fingers trembling with nervousness.
The craftsmen below the stage also looked up at the stage.
What kind of evaluation will Lu Huang and others give to Tang Zheng’s fire-holding show “The Tadpole Looking for Its Mother”?
…
Lu Huang and his team were thinking and scoring on the stage.
Xu Qingyan had already put away the zither and walked down the casting table without saying a word.
The young men of Tangjiabao immediately moved chairs for him and helped him get his zither - this was the treatment that Xu Qingyan, as an "enemy", had never enjoyed in Tangjiabao!
"Qin, please send it back to Miss Tianxiang's room in Yimeng Pavilion. I borrowed it." Xu Qingyan said lightly.
"Okay!" Tang Zixie immediately went to run errands without saying a word.
But a few months ago, if someone had told him that he would one day take the initiative to run errands for Xu Qingyan of Yinlan Villa, he would never have believed it even if he was beaten to death!
"I didn't realize that Mr. Xu had such a refined taste..." Tang Xuan was completely hooked into the story by his casual song.
It can be said that the effect of Tang Zheng's palm fire was at least 30% due to Xu Qingyan's music!
Xu Qingyan simply answered matter-of-factly: "Compared to a real master, it's far behind."
"Mr. Xu, what else can you do besides playing the piano? Can you sing a song?" Tang Xuan asked again.
"Yes." Xu Qingyan seemed to have not heard the teasing in Tang Xuan's words at all. He nodded normally and said, "Dielianhua, do you want to listen?"
"Cough cough cough cough..." Tang Xuan was choked by him.
Not only can Xu Qingyan sing, but he can also sing love songs as soon as he opens his mouth!
It simply turns one's worldview upside down.
He is Xu Qingyan, the number one guest of Yinlan Villa and a three-star strongman. He is not the top singer in the brothel!
Xu Qingyan still stared at the stage expressionlessly.
He didn't care what Tang Xuan and the others thought of him, he was just waiting for Lu Huang and the others' judgment.
…
All five judges thought about it for a long time.
Then, the signs were raised almost at the same time.
Except for Lu Huang who scored 38 points, the other four people all raised 40 signs!
Everyone looked over in surprise...
Not towards the other four who raised their hands to get full marks, but towards Lu Huang!
Even Luo Fei's gaze towards Lu Huang was filled with disbelief - he simply couldn't imagine what could be wrong with Tang Zheng's fire control.
Tang Zheng smiled, stood up and bowed to them, then asked Lu Huang, "Master Lu Huang, please give me some advice!"
Although Lu Huang's lowest score would be removed and would not affect his chances of getting full marks in the second item, he, like Luo Fei, wanted to know where he still lacked.
The children of Tangjiabao were also shocked.
Luo Fei didn't know how Tang Zheng achieved the final step in controlling the star power, but they knew it very well.
With Tang Zheng's superior innate conditions, and the practice method that only he could think of, he was able to complete such an astonishing palm fire. How could he not get Lu Huang's full score?
"If it's just about the fire control itself, I would give it 40 points." Lu Huang saw everyone's reactions, but still said, "However, if you didn't use the Seven Colors Fire Wetting Method or the Gradually Disappearing Fire Method in the second half, but used the Nine Treasures Glazed Fire Wetting Method, plus the Stars and Rivers Fire Wetting Method... your foundry furnace could definitely have a strange phenomenon - a radiant glow!"
My humble home is honored!
Tang Zheng understood it as soon as he heard it. If he could really make the house shine, the firelight would illuminate the entire room. In other words, it would be like turning a color TV into a projector directly!
"I didn't give you these two points, not because you didn't do well, but because you can do better. Although I can't even achieve the vision of bringing glory to my humble home, but... I hope to see you do it in my lifetime!" Lu Huang actually stood up, bent slightly, and bowed to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng quickly returned the greeting without saying much, only two words of promise: "Definitely!"
Meanwhile, Shopkeeper Wu had already written Tang Zheng’s final score for the second item - forty - under his name!
After seeing Tang Zheng's results posted, Ouyang Luoluo suddenly spoke up: "I still have a small question, I wonder if I can ask you..."
Tang Zheng knew the other person's identity and was very protective of him, so of course he would not act rashly: "Ms. Luo Luo, please speak!"
"How did you come up with the idea of incorporating the skills and process of fire control into a story?" What Ouyang Luoluo was most concerned about was the lack of appeal of casting, and Tang Zheng happened to solve this problem.
As soon as Ouyang Luoluo asked this question, the audience couldn't help but hold their breath and listen attentively.
Everyone was so curious. How did Tang Zheng come up with the idea of performing such a vivid fire show on the casting table?
Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Miss Luoluo, I'm afraid you don't know what I do, right?"
"Oh?" Ouyang Luoluo raised his eyebrows, "You are not a foundry master?"
"I'm a teacher!" Tang Zheng spread his hands.
"..." A brighter light suddenly appeared in Ouyang Luoluo's eyes.
"When I teach students to write calligraphy, I focus on the beginning, development, transition and conclusion, while in casting, the key is to accumulate, accumulate, moisten and contain. There is an old saying in my hometown that goes, 'If you master one method, you will master all methods.' There is nothing beyond the square and circle, and no matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same. So, I think it would be better to combine the two to make casting more exciting and more loving..."
Everyone at the scene looked at Tang Zheng, smiling and talking, and burst into warm applause again.
Lu Huang and the others were moved by Tang Zheng's sincere and affectionate words and applauded him.
“What a great idea! If you understand one method, you will understand all methods.” Lu Huang stood up and applauded.
"What a great idea! It makes casting more exciting and more loving." Ouyang Luoluo also smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
Tang Zheng complained silently in his heart - To be honest, I just want to pretend to be cool quietly!
After a long time, the applause stopped...
Shopkeeper Wu stepped forward at the right time and said, "Then please invite Luo Fei to the second part of the competition - the furnace master!"
The attention of the whole audience immediately shifted from Tang Zheng to Luo Fei.
All the accessories in front of Tang Zheng had to be put aside. They had to wait until Luo Fei finished the fire-control competition before they could start the final assembly and the finished product process!
The gaze is like a heavy mountain.
When they suddenly turned from Tang Zheng to Luo Fei, he felt that it was a bit difficult to breathe.
Every detail of Tang Zheng's palm fire kept replaying in his mind...
Can't do it.
He can't do it as well as Tang Zheng!
Luo Fei's breathing became heavier...
Tang Zheng had just sat down and looked at Luo Fei opposite him, his brows slightly frowned.
He saw that the fingertips of Luo Fei's index fingers were trembling slightly when he took the stove!
No one at the scene could possibly notice such a delicate movement, but with Tang Zheng's sharp eyes, he could see it at a glance.
"No way?" Tang Zheng's face became a little strange.
Because, judging from what he saw, the most likely scenario was probably...
Luo Fei couldn't concentrate all his attention on casting, his emotions were in trouble!
This is almost impossible for a caster as good as him.
