144 161. Lou Gao: Please grant me knowledge
. Lou Gao is not interested in anything other than blacksmithing.
Unlike the other two master craftsmen who excel in strength, Lou Gao is proficient in skills. He can carve out exquisite armor and weapons like works of art.
These things can be sold well in the market.
But what people don't know is that the works of Lou Gao that can be sold are basically those that he himself considers to be failures.
People like him have extremely demanding requirements for their works. Any small flaw will be judged as a failure by him.
Lou Gao disdains to measure his work with money and wealth, but the Blacksmith Association can't make much money a year, and everyone lives a tight life. In order to subsidize the association, Lou Gao has to sell some of the finished products.
On this day, Lou Gao had just finished attending the Blacksmith Association meeting and was returning to his workshop when his disciple Si Long walked up to him and said,
"Teacher, someone from the Spirit Hall wants to see you."
Lou Gao said impatiently, "Not interested, let him go."
Lou Gao didn't care about the changes outside because he had a very bad impression of the Spirit Hall because of his old friend Titan (Bishop Miles of Gengxin City had not yet arrived.), and his temper was not afraid of the Spirit Hall.
"He said he brought something you can't refuse, and if you don't want to see it, you will regret it." Si Long said.
"Something I can't refuse?" Lou Gao frowned and said, "Is there anything in this world that I can't refuse? It's interesting. I want to see what the Spirit Hall wants to do. Take me there."
Curiosity drove Lou Gao to make a decision.
So Si Long took Lou Gao to the reception room.
Lou Gao saw the back of an angel with pale hair standing in the reception room.
The angel turned around, and when he saw her clearly, Lou Gao went crazy.
His eyes were filled with tears, and his pupils reflected the armor worn by the angel. Lou Gao's voice was trembling.
"God, this is an offensive soul guide that is only recorded in ancient books."
"Please, please let me study it carefully, please!" Lou Gao bowed his head and begged.
The woman said, "You can't reproduce the ancient soul guide technology from just studying this armor. It happens that I have the technology to make this kind of soul guide."
"What." Lou Gao's voice was extremely shocked: "You really made this kind of soul guide?"
"As you can see."
Lou Gao's knees suddenly knelt down:
"I beg you, please give me knowledge, I want to peek into the abyss of soul guide manufacturing, please, please."
A soul power lifted Lou Gao's body up, and she said, "Old sir, you don't have to do this. As long as you are willing to agree to my request, what's the harm in passing on the soul guide technology to you."
"What request?"
"Join the Spirit Hall."
A month and a half later,
Lou Gao of the Blacksmith Association officially announced the news that it would join the Spirit Hall. =After Lou Gao finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "I am not in a position to explain the specific reasons for joining the Spirit Hall. Anyone who is willing to join the Spirit Hall with me can go with me."
Everyone in the Blacksmith Association looked at each other in bewilderment. Silong and other disciples of Lou Gao decided to follow their master and join the Spirit Hall.
And Titan, who had been silent all this time
, finally got angry. Titan angrily pounded the table with his fist and asked, "President Lou Gao, are you sure you didn't say the wrong thing? You want to join the Spirit Hall. Don't you know the conflict between the Spirit Hall and our Blacksmith Association?"
"I know." Lou Gao said.
Titan said unreasonably, "Since you know, Lou Gao, as the president of the Blacksmith Association, you can't join the Spirit Hall."
"The Blacksmith Association and the Spirit Hall have conflicts, but this is my personal choice and will not involve the Blacksmith Association. If it doesn't work, I will quit the association and give you the position of president." Lou Gao said nonchalantly.
"No, you can't join the Spirit Hall." Titan's eyes flashed with scarlet light.
"Why!" Lou Gao asked.
Titan continued to blackmail Lou Gao, but Lou Gao seemed determined to join the Spirit Hall.
The two of them talked about this and that, and finally, Titan asked in a low voice: "Old man, are you sure you want to join the Spirit Hall?"
"I'm sure." Lou Gao said.
Titan, who was familiar with Lou Gao's character, finally said helplessly: "Okay, Lou Gao, I can't stop you. I hope you won't regret your choice in the future. Those who are willing to join Lou Gao can leave, and those who are willing to stay in the Blacksmith Association can stay."
Titan and Lou Gao are the three great blacksmiths in the world, and they are very influential in the blacksmith circle. When Lou Gao decided to leave, half of the people present followed Lou Gao, and the other half stayed to follow Titan.
Titan looked at Lou Gao's back as he left, with a gloomy face. He decided to go back and inform his master of this matter.
After Tang Hao left, he still kept in touch with Tai Tan. He might want to consolidate the future foundation for his son. If the Tang Sect's hidden weapons want to show their true strength in the future, a master craftsman like Lou Gao is indispensable. So he tied Tai Tan to the Blacksmith Association and asked him to guard the house for Xiao San.
Tai Tan was really loyal. Even with one arm missing, he continued to maintain his position as the vice president of the Blacksmith Association and looked forward to the Blacksmith Association's business for Tang Hao.
In the heart of old Tai Tan, the Blacksmith Association has been regarded as the master's foundation. Perhaps because the master attaches great importance to Lou Gao, Tai Tan did not immediately attack Lou Gao but came back to ask Tang Hao for instructions.
"Master, this is what happened." Tai Tan informed Tang Hao of this matter.
When he heard that Lou Gao was going to join the Spirit Hall, Tang Hao frowned and asked, "Why does Lou Gao want to join the Spirit Hall?"
Tai Tan said, "Master, I have asked several times, but Lou Gao is unwilling to tell the reason."
Tang Hao thought to himself: Another variable.
As a beneficiary of his previous life, Tang Hao naturally hates the existence of variables.
In his previous life, Lou Gao was recruited by Tang San because of his hidden weapons, and he also used his life to create the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. This hidden weapon severely damaged the two great priests of the Spirit Hall in the battle of Jialing Pass.
Unexpectedly, in this life, Tang San has not grown up yet, and has not yet become radiant, but Lou Gao, this old man, has a hole in his brain and wants to defect. He doesn't know that my son is the future Sea God, Shura God, and the future master of Douluo Continent. The Spirit Hall is just a bunch of losers. You actually want to join them? ?
"In short, Lou Gao cannot join the Spirit Hall, and people from the Blacksmith Association cannot join the Spirit Hall. If Lou Gao is stubborn, Titan, you should know what to do." A trace of murderous intent flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
Titan smiled and said, "Master, of course I know, I will let the Power Clan solve your problems."
