Life is like a bowl of clear water, and there is a hint of sweetness in the ordinary. Wang Lin has a sense of spiritual cleansing for this life without killing.
At this moment, he had forgotten his identity as a cultivator, he had forgotten his identity as a cultivator, and he had forgotten the four hundred years of slaughter. Instead, he truly integrated into the mortal world and experienced the suffering and suffering of mortals. sweet.
Every morning, Wang Lin would get up early, open the door of the shop, and then sit quietly in the shop, holding pieces of wood carved with wood carvings. His shop is already densely packed with countless carvings.
The neighbors in the surrounding shops gradually learned that the shop had changed owners, and they all had a good impression of Wang Lin, a young man who showed a trace of elegance in the quiet.
As time passed, Wang Lin’s shop gradually had guests. Although these people could not see the aura on the wood carving, they could see the exquisiteness of the wood carving. Over time, Wang Lin’s shop is here. There is also a slight reputation in the area.
In a blink of an eye, a year passed. During this year, the mysterious old man never appeared again. Although Wang Lin would think of this person from time to time, he slowly ignored him.
He was completely immersed in the wood carving, looking for the long-lost pleasure.
In Wang Lin's shop, the most displayed woodcarvings of monsters are lifelike woodcarvings. Almost most of the monsters on these woodcarvings are unseen by mortals.
In fact, let alone them, even if there are cultivators here, there are certainly few who can recognize them. After all, this place is too far away from the Xiu Demon Sea, the world is so big, and there are many types of monsters, it is impossible for anyone to know them all. know.
At this moment, Wang Lin was holding a piece of wood in his hand. This piece of wood was in a square shape. As Wang Lin drew it with a knife, the embryonic form of a turtle-like monster beast was gradually outlined.
Looking at the woodcarving in his hands. Wang Lin put down the carving knife. Pick up the celadon jug next to it. When I was about to drink it, I realized it was dumb. There is no wine in the pot.
Usually this time. Daniel will come to see him make wood carvings. Every time I come. Always hold a jug of fruit wine.
really. It didn't take long for a big cow to grow taller. Opened the door of the shop and walked in. Daniel is the boy. He at this time. Although only twelve years old. But he is tall and long.
The body is much stronger than it was a year ago.
After entering the shop. Daniel complained, came to sit down next to Wang Lin, and said, "Uncle Wang. Someday you go to my house and talk about my father. He always asks me to learn iron tools from him. I don't want to learn. If I learn. I am also going to learn the woodcarving skills of my uncle." As he said, he put a jug of fruit wine in his hand. Put it next to Wang Lin. Small eyes narrowed. Staring straight at the unformed wooden sculpture in Wang Lin's hands.
Wang Lin laughed. Picked up the hip flask and took a swig. This fruit wine. There is a hint of pungency in the sweet taste. After drinking, there was a hint of heat in my abdomen. This year, it has become Wang Lin's daily necessities.
"Uncle Wang, what kind of animal are you carving now? I think it looks like a tortoise." Daniel looked at the wood carving and said bewildered.
Wang Lin touched Daniel's head and said with a smile: "This is not a tortoise, but a creature called a bell and drum. Although it looks like a tortoise, it is actually powerful."
Daniel nodded seemingly. Over the past year, he has seen countless various animals in Wang Lin's shop, each of which he has never seen before.
Wang Lin took a carving knife and drew it on the wood carving. This creature that looked like a tortoise was actually a relatively rare middle-grade spirit beast in the Sea of Demon Cultivation.
However, for Wang Lin, this lower-level spirit beast has slaughtered a lot, and its inner alchemy has swallowed a lot. As a result, he carved at this time, the appearance of this beast is completely formed in his heart, with one knife and one knife. There is no pause.
Half an hour later, Wang Lin made a deep point in the beast's eyes with a carving knife. Suddenly, the wooden sculpture seemed to be alive, exuding fierce flames.
The beast looked up at the sky, with a trace of unwillingness and fear in its eyes, and opened its big mouth, as if it let out a silent roar, a wave of air, in a state invisible to mortals, suddenly spread from the woodcarving. out.
However, the air wave had just spread less than three inches, and it returned to plainness under Wang Lin's right hand a little bit.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and put the woodcarvings on the shelf at will. In this year, Wang Lin has already discovered that he is the most capable of making medium-grade spirit beasts and woodcarvings of high-grade spirit beasts. It cannot be carved either.
Every time I carve a high-grade spirit beast, I can't control the last few strokes, causing the carving to break.
Wang Lin knew that this was because of his own cultivation level. After all, high-grade spirit beasts were already equivalent to the stage of transforming human monks into gods.
Daniel's eyes showed a fascinating color. For the past year, he has watched Wang Lin's sculptures every day, and gradually, the whole person safely indulged in.
Over the past year, he has also secretly tried to carve with a carving knife, but was unable to carve a satisfactory wood sculpture. At this time, seeing a wood sculpture in Wang Lin's hand, he couldn't bear it anymore and interrogated it.
Wang Lin was silent for a while, looked up at the boy in front of him, and said, "Wood carving requires insight. If you want to learn, you can watch me carve for sixty years. After sixty years, you can make it."
Daniel stretched out his tongue and said, "Sixty years... But I saw Carpenter Zhou in Nancheng. He is only in his forties, but the wood carvings he made are also very good."
Wang Lin picked up the hip flask, took another sip, and said, "I am different from him."
There was a bewilderment in the big bull's eyes, and he obviously couldn't understand the charm contained in it.
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside. Daniel quickly got up and ran out. After a short while, he probed in and said in surprise: "Uncle Wang, the eldest son of the Xu family store is back, and he followed More than a dozen big cars, and many people with them, can be awe-inspiring."
With that, he ran out again.
Wang Lin didn’t care. Instead, he picked up a piece of wood and recalled the scenes in the land of the ancient gods. The huge barren beast that impressed him the most, he hesitated. Carve up.
Time passed slowly. After more than an hour, the shop was pushed aside, and I saw Daniel ran in happily. Behind him, he was followed by a young man with a strong body. The young man entered the room and looked around. The eyes of the woodcarving suddenly light up.
Daniel quickly came to Wang Lin, winked his eyebrows, and whispered in a low voice, "Don't sell it so expensive!"
After that, he quickly turned around and said loudly, "Master Xu, this is the shop I'm talking about. Look at these wood carvings, they are by no means worse than Carpenter Zhou's. How about you? Buy some and go back."
Wang Lin smiled dumbly. This big cow obviously saw that there were not many customers in Wang Lin's shop this year, so when he met a wealthy customer, he would definitely bring him to Wang Lin's shop as soon as possible.
The young man surnamed Xu looked around, his eyes brighter and brighter. Unlike Daniel, he is a person who has seen the world, and now he is one of the followers of the Southern Prince. He can see at a glance that these wooden carvings The quality is better than that of Zhou Carpenter, who is well-known in Beijing.
Although Carpenter Zhou’s wood carvings are also lifelike, there is always something missing. He was silent for a little while and suddenly realized that the wood carvings of Carpenter Zhou are one word missing from what he sees right now. pregnancy!
One is lifelike, the other is lifelike!
A word difference is more than a thousand miles!
With piercing eyes, Xu Qingnian stepped forward and picked up a wood carving. The wood carving was exactly the dragon that was carved by Wang Lin a year ago.
The dragon was coiled, and the dragon's head lifted up to look at the sky. Every scale on the body was clearly visible. What shocked the young man surnamed Xu. The moment he got the sculpture, he suddenly had this beast. With the general feeling, his right hand loosened under the horror, and the wooden sculpture fell from his hand.
Daniel has long paid attention to the other's expressions. He knows that these wood carvings will have a magical feeling once they are held in his hands, so he often just can't touch them.
With a bang, the woodcarving fell to the ground. Fortunately, this is a wooden product, and it will not be damaged if it is bumped several times occasionally.
The young man surnamed Xu blushed and quickly said, "Master Wang, what animal is depicted on this wood carving? Why do I think it looks like a snake?"
Before Wang Lin could answer, Daniel raised his chest and said, "This is the Jiaolong! Do you know that the Jiaolong? That is the first class of the gods!"
"Jiaolong..." The young man surnamed Xu secretly said, "How do you sell this woodcarving dragon?"
Wang Lin smiled casually and said, "Twelve taels of gold."
When Daniel heard this, he secretly sighed, and said to his heart that this time is over again. He has brought many people to this shop this year, but every time Wang Lin just said the price, everyone shook their heads and left.
But he didn't expect that the young man surnamed Xu just frowned, and immediately took out twelve taels of gold from his arms and put it on the table, then took off his coat, wrapped it on the wooden sculpture, and left in a hurry.
Daniel looked at the twelve taels of gold on the table blankly, his eyes lighted up, and muttered to himself: "Unbelievable, a wooden sculpture can sell twelve taels of gold. The iron tools made by my father can only be used in a month. Selling a couple of gold is a rare thing."
After talking to himself, he immediately made up his mind, isn't it sixty years? He acknowledged it, and he has to learn this craft for whatever he says. With this craft, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
At this time, he didn't think about it. It would take sixty years to make wood carvings. Even if you don’t have to worry about food and clothing, it will be sixty years later...
The young man surnamed Xu, after leaving the shop with his coat wrapped in wood carvings, hurried home to bid farewell to his parents. He didn't even touch the dinner prepared by his parents. He quickly led everyone in a carriage and drove towards the southern palace in the east of the city. Hurry up.
