Chapter 19 I agree to this marriage

After paying five thousand yuan, Zhang Yang got the most crucial "prop" for the next period of time - a five-linked gray pottery jar said to be from the Han Dynasty.

Because he had to go to Qingzhou City Second Prison to see his master tomorrow, Zhang Yang did not go home and directly found a hotel in the city to stay in.

As soon as he entered the room, he hurriedly put down the soul bottle and sat on the bed.

Now it's time to unlock new abilities.

41666 points, this is Zhang Yang’s current recognition value balance.

After briefly appreciating the beauty of the numbers, he quickly started spending.

First spend 10000 points to unlock [Pottery Theory Knowledge].

Looking at the entry [Pottery Theoretical Knowledge: LV1 (Apprentice Level) can be upgraded], Zhang Yang was not in a hurry to continue upgrading.

He wanted to try first to see if the apprentice level was enough.

Zhang Yang opened the box containing the soul bottle and looked carefully at the objects inside.

Just now when he didn't understand anything, he could only watch the fun, but now...

"So the five-link jar refers to the five small openings on the shoulder of the jar."

"Gray pottery appears gray because of insufficient oxygen supply during the firing process, which reduces the iron in the body to ferroferric oxide."

"The rust on the surface of this jar can be scraped off and falls off like dust, which means it must have been unearthed from an earthen tomb."

"Soul bottles are really worthless. Ancient tomb robbers would not take such things. The soul bottles on the market now are basically unearthed from tombs dug up in modern times."

"..."

The more Zhang Yang read, the clearer he understood.

This thing is indeed an unearthed cultural relic from the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhang Yang had a rough idea of ​​what level of ability the theoretical knowledge of Lv1 (apprentice level) actually was.

I feel that it should not be a problem to pass the written test for Shenghai Museum's recruitment.

Most of the counterfeits on the market can be identified as genuine at a glance.

If you are not debating with someone like Expert Zhou, the apprentice-level theory is completely sufficient and there is no need to continue upgrading.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, there are two more related to pottery in the [Unlockable Abilities List], namely:
[Pottery throwing and firing]

[Pottery aging]

Both of these abilities are critical.

Zhang Yang didn't hesitate and spent almost all of his remaining recognition points.

Use 11000 points to unlock [Pottery Throwing and Firing] and upgrade it to LV3 (Expert Level).

With 26000 points, [Pottery Aging] was directly upgraded to the highest level 4 (Master Level).

Now, Zhang Yang looked at the Han Dynasty gray pottery five-link jar in front of him, and he already had a complete idea of ​​imitation in his mind.

And have the confidence that you can imitate something that is 80% to 90% similar.

It can basically deceive people's eyes.

The remaining 10% is because pottery can be authenticated using thermoluminescence, and it is difficult to fool the machine with things that are not old enough.

But 90% is enough for Zhang Yang.

He wrote down the raw materials and tools needed to make pottery in the notepad on his phone, ready to start making the pottery as soon as he met the master.

……

The next morning.

Xiao Shen's driver took Zhang Yang and the other person to the Second Prison.

Because you have an appointment, after verifying your identity, you can wait for the meeting.

While waiting in the lounge, Xiao Shen asked Zhang Yang about his master's situation:
"Brother, you haven't told me yet, what is the master's name?"

"Feng Yao, Feng in Feng Xiaogang, Yao in Yaoshunyu."

"People in the underworld gave me a nickname, Brother Yao."

"Why is Brother Yao a nickname?" Xiao Shen asked puzzled.

"It's not the Yao in his name, it's the Yao in the kiln."

"Oh, I see. It's because he's good at firing the kiln, right?"

"It's okay if you understand it that way."

Zhang Yang looked at Xiao Shen. It was better not to tell such an innocent girl some dirty jokes.

It can also be regarded as a way to preserve the master's not-so-wise image.

Soon it was Zhang Yang and Xiao Shen's turn to meet.

Two months later, Zhang Yang met his master again.

On the other side of the glass, Feng Yao, who had a shaved head and was wearing a blue prison uniform, saw Zhang Yang coming over with a young and beautiful girl, and he smiled before he even opened his mouth.

When Zhang Yang picked up the phone, before he had time to speak, Feng Yao's excited voice came from the phone:

"Okay, brat, you have good taste."

"I agree to this marriage."

After saying that, Feng Yao smiled and waved at Xiao Shen.

Xiao Shen, who didn't understand what was going on, thought it was his future master greeting him, so he smiled like a flower and waved in response.

"Calm down, both of you."

Zhang Yang said this to Xiao Shen and the master on the other end of the phone at the same time.

Then he explained the current situation to the master:
"Master, let me introduce her to you first. Her name is Shen Yiyi, and she is here to become your disciple."

"What? Become my disciple?" "Our Tukeng Duan sect has finally become famous. Xiao Shen really wants to learn the craftsmanship of our ancestor and join our sect."

"Who is Tukeng Duan? When did you establish your sect?"

On the other end of the phone, Feng Yao was a little confused.

He found that he could hardly understand what his apprentice was saying.

Of course Zhang Yang knew that the master didn't understand.

But Xiao Shen is here, and he can't be exposed.

So Zhang Yang could only try to explain the matter in as much detail as possible, hoping that the master could figure it out on his own.

"What I'm thinking is, Master, haven't you always wanted to promote our craft? It just so happens that Xiao Shen is a college student, she's smart, and her family is well-off, so she shouldn't be short of money..."

"Zhang Yang, what are you talking about? Why don't you answer my question first?"

"Xiao Shen originally wanted to take me as her master, but I am not yet a master and do not have the qualifications to accept disciples, so after thinking about it, I think it is better for you to come."

"Hello? Are you deaf, or is the phone broken?"

"The phone is fine, I can hear it." Zhang Yang answered the master's question.

This made Feng Yao feel relieved.

He quickly asked Zhang Yang:

"Have you been cheating on some girl out there? You're full of lies."

"Why are you still recruiting disciples? Just accept her as your disciple!"

"What? Master, you want to talk to Xiao Shen, okay, okay."

Zhang Yang quickly handed the phone to Shen Yiyi.

At the same time, he pointed at his face to the master on the other side of the glass.

This is their tacit way of communication, meaning:

Have some shame!

Feng Yao nodded in understanding.

When talking to Xiao Shen, even his tone changed.

"Shen Yiyi, right?"

"How old are you this year? Where do you live? What do your parents do for a living? Do you have any brothers or sisters? Do you have any elderly relatives? Does your family have any requirements for the bride price?"

"Master, do you want to answer all these questions?"

Xiao Shen scratched her head. There were too many questions. She didn't hear them clearly and didn't remember much.

I was just impressed by the last question about the bride price.

But she also felt that this had nothing to do with becoming a disciple, so she fell into a brief period of confusion.

Looking at Xiao Shen's confused look, Feng Yao sighed in his heart.

He glared at Zhang Yang fiercely through the glass.

I thought to myself, this girl is obviously mentally immature, and Zhang Yang is really going too far, tricking the girl into becoming his disciple.

You've read too many Jin Yong novels, so you want to learn from Linghu Chong and pursue your junior sister, right?

But, as long as the apprentice likes it, what else can he, as a master, say?

Feng Yao sighed helplessly:
"Okay, I agree. From now on, you will be Zhang Yang's junior sister."

"I hope you brothers and sisters are doing well."

"what?"

Xiao Shen was stunned at first, then he realized that he had successfully become a disciple.

She stood up excitedly:

"Thank you, Master. I will work hard in the future to carry forward your school's legacy!"

"Yeah." Feng Yao snorted, "It's better for you two to live a good life than anything else."

"Give the phone to Zhang Yang. I have something to tell him."

"it is good!"

Xiao Shen happily handed the phone to Zhang Yang, and he could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

"Master, do you agree to accept me as your disciple?"

Zhang Yang didn't expect his master to make a decision so quickly.

"Well, what else can I say since you've brought the person here?"

"Don't ask me about this kind of thing in the future. Even if you say you want to change someone, that's your own business. Adults have to be responsible for themselves, understand?"

"I understand, but..."

Zhang Yang always felt that something was not right with his master.

Did he develop mental problems from being in jail?

It seems that I need to visit my master more often in the future to let him feel the warmth of family.

"Okay, let me ask you something else now."

"The basement under my bedroom bed, you've never been in there, have you?"

"What? There's a basement?"

Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, his intuition told him that there must be treasure in his master's basement!
