Chapter 253 – Auger Dragon Wood Sculpture
Life, just like a bowl of water, plain and simple through a trace of sweetness if any, Wang Lin for this kind of life without killing, there is a sense of spiritual washing.
At this moment, he forgot his identity as a cultivator, his identity as a cultivator, and the killing he had done over the past four hundred years, but instead, he truly integrated into the world of mortals, experiencing the bitterness and sweetness of mortals.
Every morning, Wang Lin would get up early, open the door of the store, and then quietly sit in the store, holding a wooden section to carve wood carvings, and inside his store, he had already densely packed countless carvings.
Neighbors around the store, gradually know the store changed the owner, for Wang Lin this quiet through a trace of floating youth, all have a big good feeling.
With the passage of time, Wang Lin’s store, gradually have guests, these people can not see the wood carvings on top of the aura, but can see that the wood carvings of the exquisite, over time, Wang Lin’s store, in this area, but also slightly small fame.
In the blink of an eye a year has passed, this year, the mysterious old man, never appeared, Wang Lin although from time to time will think of this person, but slowly, no longer pay attention.
He was completely immersed in wood carving, searching for long gone pleasures.
In Wang Lin’s store, placed the most, is a lifelike living demonic beasts wood carvings, these wood carvings on the demonic beasts, almost the vast majority, are mortals have never seen.
In fact, not to mention them, even if there is a cultivator to come here, there will certainly be few who can recognize, after all, this place is too far away from the cultivation of the Devil’s Sea, the world is too big, there are many types of demonic beasts, it is impossible for someone to know all.
At this time, Wang Lin’s hand holding a wooden section, this wooden section into a square, with Wang Lin a knife carving, a tortoise demon beast prototype, gradually outlined.
Looking at the wooden carving in his hand. Wang Lin put down the carving knife. He picked up the celadon wine pot next to him. When he was about to drink it, he dumbly realized. There was no more wine in the pot.
Usually at this time. Da Niu will run to see him making wood carvings. Every time he comes. Always took a pot of fruit wine.
Fruit. Not long after, the big bull that had already grown a head taller. Push open the door of the store came in. Da Niu is that teenager. At this time he. Although only twelve years old. But the person is very tall.
The body is also much stronger than a year ago.
After entering the store. Da Niu complained, came to sit next to Wang Lin and said, “Uncle Wang. You go to my house one day and talk about my father. He’s always making me learn to make iron tools from him. I don’t want to learn. If I were to learn. I’m also going to learn uncle’s wood carving craft.” Saying this, he put a pot of fruit wine in his hand. He placed it next to Wang Lin. His small eyes narrowed. He stared straight at the wood carving in Wang Lin’s hand that hadn’t yet taken shape.
Wang Lin laughed. He picked up the jug and took a big sip. This kind of fruit wine. It tasted sweet with a hint of spice. A hint of fire rose in his abdomen after drinking it. Over the past year, it had become a daily necessity for Wang Lin.
“Uncle Wang, what kind of animal are you carving now, it looks like a turtle to me.” Da Niu looked at the wooden carving and said in confusion.
Wang Lin touched Da Niu’s head and laughed, “This isn’t a turtle, but a creature called a bell drum, which looks similar to a turtle but is, in reality, infinitely powerful.”
The big bull nodded with seeming understanding, over the past year, he had seen countless various animals within Wang Lin’s store, each one of which he had never seen before.
Wang Lin took a carving knife and carved on the wooden sculpture, this turtle-looking creature was actually a rare medium-grade spirit beast in the Cultivation Demon Sea, and when it launched its anger, the casual cultivator simply couldn’t resist.
However, for Wang Lin, this lower-order spirit beasts, but slaughtered a lot, its inner dan is swallowed a lot, so that he carved at this time, the beast’s appearance completely in the heart of the molding, a knife a knife, without half a pause.
Half an hour later, Wang Lin in the eyes of this beast, with a carving knife deep point, at once, this wooden carving as alive, emitting bursts of ferocious flame.
This beast looked up at the sky, eyes showed a trace of unwillingness and the color of fear, open his mouth, as if a burst of silent roar, a wave of air, in a state not visible to mortals, from this wooden carving above suddenly spread out.
Only, this gas wave just spread less than three inches, will be in the right hand of Wang Lin under a point, back to flat.
Wang Lin took a deep breath, put the wooden carving on a shelf, in this year’s time, Wang Lin has already found that, at most, he is able to produce medium-grade spirit beasts, the wooden carving of the top-grade spirit beasts, no matter how it can not be carved.
Every time you carve a top grade spirit animal, you will be in the last few strokes, you can’t control it, making the carving shatter.
Wang Lin knew that this was because of his own cultivation level, after all, a top-grade spirit beast was already equivalent to a human cultivator’s Transformation of God stage.
Da Niu’s eyes, revealing the color of intoxication, this year, he watched Wang Lin carve every day, gradually, the whole person safely indulged in.
This year, he had also secretly tried to take a carving knife and carve, but he couldn’t carve a satisfactory wood carving, at this time, when he saw Wang Lin casually forming a wood carving, he couldn’t stand it any longer and interrogated.
Wang Lin was silent for a little while, looked up at the young man in front of him and said, “Wood carving, need to sense, if you want to learn, then watch me carve for sixty years, after sixty years, you can make.”
Da Niu stuck out his tongue and said, “Sixty years …… But I look at the Zhou carpenter in the south city, he is only in his forties, but the wood carvings that are produced, they are also very good.”
Wang Lin picked up the wine pot, took another sip, and said, “I am different from him, different.”
A confused look appeared in Da Niu’s eyes, obviously not understanding the rhyme contained here.
Just at this time, suddenly outside came a burst of clamor, Da Niu hurriedly got up and ran out, not long before he probed in and said in surprise: “Uncle Wang, Xu family store’s eldest son came back, he was followed by more than ten big cars, also followed by a lot of people, it can be majestic.”
With that, he ran out again.
Wang Lin didn’t care, instead, he picked up a piece of wood segment and recalled a scene from back then in the land of the ancient gods, the huge desolate beast that impressed him the most, after hesitating for a moment, Wang Lin took a carving knife and carved on the wood segment.
Time slowly passed, more than an hour later, the store was pushed open, only to see Da Niu cheerfully ran in, since his back, also followed by a body quite strong youth, the youth entered the room, looked at the wood carvings all around, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Da Niu quickly came to Wang Lin’s side, squeezed his eyebrows and whispered quickly, “Don’t sell so expensive ah!”
After saying that, he quickly turned around and said loudly, “Young Master Xu, this is the store I was talking about, look at these wood carvings, they are by no means worse than Carpenter Zhou’s, how about it, buy a few to go back.”
Wang Lin laughed dumbly, this Da Niu, obviously saw that there weren’t many guests at Wang Lin’s store this year, so as soon as he encountered a rich patron, he would definitely be the first to pull to Wang Lin’s store.
The youth surnamed Xu looked around, his eyes are getting brighter and brighter, unlike Da Niu, he is a person who has seen the world, and now even become one of the South King’s Prince’s trusted entourage, he can see at a glance, the quality of these wood carvings, compared to the capital’s famous Zhou carpenter more than a few chips stronger.
Although Zhou carpenter’s wood carvings, is also lifelike, but is always missing something, he was silent for a little while, suddenly realized, Zhou carpenter made wood carvings, and now look at the things in front of us, the difference between a word, that is, raw!
One is lifelike, one is lifelike!
One word difference, more than a thousand miles!
Xu youth’s eyes gleamed as he stepped forward and picked up a wooden carving, which was engraved by the very same scaly dragon that Wang Lin had carved a year ago.
This dragon coiled body, the dragon head lifted up to look at the sky, the body of every scale is clear in the eye, more let Xu youth feel shocked, is in the moment he got the carving, he suddenly have a kind of this beast alive general feeling, under the horror of the right hand a loose, wooden carving from the hands fell.
Da Niu has long been paying attention to the other party’s expression, he knows that these wood carvings, once held in the hand, there will be a magical feeling, so he tends to just look and not touch.
With a clang, the wooden sculpture fell to the ground, the good thing was that this was originally a wooden product, the occasional few falls and touches would not damage it.
The young man surnamed Xu’s face turned red, and he hurriedly said, “Master Wang, what kind of animal is depicted on this wooden sculpture? How does it look somewhat like a snake to me?”
Without waiting for Wang Lin to answer, Da Niu stood up his chest and said, “It’s a scaly dragon! Do you know about the dragon? That’s a first-class immortal!”
“Jiao dragon ……” The youth surnamed Xu secretly memorized it and said, “This Jiao dragon wood carving, how can I sell it?”
Wang Lin casually smiled and said, “Ten taels of gold.”
Da Niu heard this, secretly sighed, and said that this time it is finished again, he this year, has brought a lot of people to this store, but every time Wang Lin just say the price, all the people are shaking their heads and leave.
But how he did not expect, that Xu surnamed youth just frowned, then immediately took out ten two gold from his arms on the table, then retired his jacket, wrapped in the wooden carving on top of, hurriedly left.
Da Niu stared blankly at the ten taels of gold on the table, his eyes glowing, muttering, “Unbelievable, a wood carving can actually sell ten taels of gold, my father made the iron tools, a month down can only be sold for one or two taels of gold, and that’s a rare thing.”
After some self-talk, he immediately made up his mind, is not sixty years it, he recognized, what to say also want to learn this craft, with this craft, he is a big cow this life, food and clothing no worries.
At this time he, but did not think, sixty years after the time to produce wood carvings, even if it is not worried about food and clothing, it is also sixty years after ……
That Xu surnamed youth, outside the jacket wrapped wooden carving out of the store, hurried home and parents to say goodbye, and even parents prepared dinner did not touch a bit, rushed to take all the people sitting in the carriage galloped toward the east of the city of the South King’s House to rush.
