Aspiring to the Immortal Path

v1 Chapter 37: Root carving

For the new home, the little things are very curious. To her, many things in the human world are so new, so you have to touch everything.

An inkstone attracted her attention. She walked over and climbed onto the inkstone to look left and right. She accidentally fell into the ink pond, and when she came out, she was completely dark.

Tang Jie laughed as he watched, the little thing was a little angry, and shook his head, the next moment the whole room was filled with ink.

"...Okay, count you cruel!" Tang Jie, who looked at the room full of black spots, took the little guy out of the inkstone, and was about to fetch her water to take a bath, but saw the little guy just waved his hands, his whole body All the ink has dissipated automatically, leaving only the tender and lovely little face, laughing and watching Tang Jie.

"Although the combat power is a little worse, there are so many tricks." Tang Jie touched her face and smiled: "Look at you babbling, I will call you Yiyi from now on, okay?"

Hearing that he had a name, the little thing turned his head in excitement, then nodded again and again.

"Well, just stay here." Tang Jie said and went out.

"Eh!" Yi Yi yelled anxiously when Tang Jie was about to leave.

Tang Jie smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not leaving, I'm just going to make a nest for you. I guess you don't like living in a flowerpot honestly."

After a while, Tang Jie entered the house holding a large piece of wood.

He hollowed out the wood, stuffed it with cotton, sewed a small pillow and a quilt with cloth, and hung a curtain at the entrance of the hole, which became a small wooden house.

Patting the quilt, Tang Jie said, "Well, from now on, this will be your den. You can sleep here when you have nothing to do. You can play in the house when I'm away, but you can't just go out. If someone comes, you can It has to become a flower and stay in a flowerpot, so that no one can find you, you know?"

The little guy nodded and turned into a small white flower, standing quietly in the basin.

"That's it!" Tang Jie said with a smile.

The next moment the little thing has changed back into a human form, and immediately jumped into Tang Jie's arms, and became intimate with him.

After playing around for a while, the little guy seemed to be a little tired, and fell asleep directly in the heart of Tang Jie's hands. Tang Jie carefully put Lüe into the hut and covered her with a quilt.

Then Tang Jie sat alone by the bed and began to reflect on what had happened.

When he first met Lu E, Tang Jieguang thought about coaxing her into his hands. When he finally got his hands, Tang Jie realized that with the appearance of this little thing, there might be a lot of trouble in the future.

After carefully sorting out the possible problems, Tang Jie thought in his heart, and gradually got an idea. Seeing that it was not early, Tang Jie looked at the little guy who was sleeping peacefully, said softly "Good night", and then went to sleep as well.

The next morning, Tang Jie woke up early. After doing the work in the garden, Tang Jie found some old tree roots, took a small knife and started cutting on the roots. After removing the extra branches and leaves, Tang Jie began to make a single cut. Portrayed on the roots of the tree.

When a young man saw that he was curious and asked Tang Jie what he was doing, Tang Jie answered Gen Diao.

The days of attracting eyeballs by gardening are long, and Wei Tianchong's interest in gardening is not as high as before. Now Tang Jie intends to rely on this sculpture to attract Wei Tianchong's attention again.

But the most important thing is that with this famous carved hall, Tang Jie can move a lot of wood into his house in the future. This way, he can cover up the nest made for small things and make it less obtrusive. NS. Although there are few guests from Tang Jie's cabin, he must be careful of accidents, and this will also help Tang Jie enroll in the school in the future.

After going to the academy, Tang Jie could no longer be a gardener, which meant that he would lose the position he was good at, so Tang Jie had to find a way out for himself again.

Root carving is a good choice. This thing can be used wherever you go. Digging a few pieces of wood is the material.

If you do it well, you can sell some money to supplement your household, and you can usually give it as a gift. People who have a skill are always more popular.

In addition, root carvings are also useful for cultivating immortals. There is a miscellaneous science in cultivating immortals called puppet art. Through the cooperation of puppet production and formation, the ability to fight organs is formed. Among them, carving is used.

In fact, art has always had practical value in the cultivation of immortals. Whether it is characters, paintings, sounds, and carvings, they can find their own value in the world of immortality.

Ru Xu Muyang drew a horse with a few strokes, and then cast a spell to make it alive, which embodies his superb painting skills.

If the painting is not good enough, the horse drawn looks like a donkey, even if it survives, it is just a joke.

As for the characters, they are also the basic need for drawing characters. If you write a letter of law, the characters on it are crooked and appear out of thin air. A grinning "kill" character, if the effect has not yet been exerted, the big teeth will be laughed out first.

Therefore, in addition to the basic immortal arts, the content of piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy also exists in the colleges under the major immortal schools, and has practical significance-there are all kinds of goods in the world of immortality, but there is no illiterate.

Tang Jie has been in Weifu for more than a year. Except for Zhendao, he practiced writing and drawing without any problems. He didn't ask for amazing accomplishments, at least he had to be neat and decent. It is said that some students in the college are unable to graduate after entering the immortal gate because the liberal arts are so bad.

Tang Jie didn't want to be unable to graduate because of his ugly writing.

As for the current root carving, Tang Jie is thinking about learning puppet art in the future, and also to integrate his knowledge of formations into it.

Formation Dao is actually a very broad subject. In addition to military formations, guarding mountain formations, alchemy, craftsmanship, and puppet organs, almost all need to use formations, but the characteristics of the direction are different.

Xu Muyang is mainly good at the Great Formation of Heaven and Earth, not very good at other types, but the truth is the same, Tang Jie can learn and research on his own.

Tang Jie is not interested in puppet art, but the basic carving ability he needs is currently the only thing that has something to do with gardening. Others such as calligraphy and painting have nothing to do with gardening. I want to do this at work. Wei Jia would never praise his self-motivated spirit.

In addition, puppetry and later generations of science and technology systems are also relatively similar in form. For Tang Jie, this means that he may have more development possibilities in this regard.

Although he doesn't know how to sculpt his roots now, he is still two years away from enrollment. Two years are enough time for him to master this craft.

The new pattern really attracted Wei Tianchong's attention again-there are stone carvings in Qixiajie, but root carvings are rare.

Watching Tang Jie's hand fiddle with the trunk full of roots, creating shapes one by one, Wei Tianchong felt fresh, and he picked up a piece of old tree root to learn it.

Tang Jie taught him how to deal with these tree roots.

Unlike stone carvings, root carvings have higher requirements on the selection of materials, and the sculptor needs to make clever use of the natural form of the material itself. In addition, the real root carving pursues the strangeness in the shape. Generally, the roots that grow on the plains have sufficient nutrients, fast growth, and loose wood fibers, which makes it difficult to form peculiar shapes. Only the roots that grow in harsh environments, such as the roots that grow in the back of the sun or in the crevices of cliffs and rocks, and survived by lightning, fire, ant erosion, stone pressure, human stepping, and knife cutting, are due to insufficient light. Lack of soil, water and nutrient, will gradually change shape over a long period of time. In addition, before carving, various treatments are needed on the material.

But what Tang Jie pursues is not art but practicality, so he doesn't need to care about all of these. In his eyes, the root carving is "seven percent artificial and three percent natural."

Art pays attention to weird modeling and rich imagination, but puppets pay attention to simulation and realism, and they have to reserve space for refining formations. The two are similar in shape but different in quality.

But no matter which one, it is not easy to do.

Sculpture itself is a very comprehensive art. It not only requires the artist to have a strong carving skills and artistic appreciation ability, but also a certain painting background.

Tang Jie's artistic cell is obviously very limited. He can't meet any of the above conditions. He held a piece of wood for a long time, but he didn't see anything famous. In the end, he finally dug out a small wooden man with his head. It accounts for more than one-third, two thin legs composed of roots, how ugly you look. If this thing is activated with a refining array so that it can walk freely, it is probably a deformity, and it is estimated that it will fall to the ground within two steps.

Tang Jie can only sigh helplessly about this, comforting himself that at any rate he still has a predilection for him. You can't expect the world to love him. It's just that this plan seems to be bankrupt. Sure enough, some plans are formulated no matter how well they lack effective means of execution. Can not do it.

Looking back and looking at the side, I saw that the young master Wei Tianchong was cutting his sword like flying, holding a disk-shaped protruding tree root flying block and cutting it. Not long after, a little tortoise appeared in the palm of his hand, although this The little tortoise has many flaws, but at least the structure is complete and it doesn't look too distorted.

Tang Jie stared blankly: "Have you studied before?"

In his surprise, he didn't even call the young master~lightnovelpub.net~ No, this was the first time, and it was very interesting. "Wei Tianchong looked at his work and admired it.

"Genius..." Tang Jie groaned weakly.

Never dreamed that Wei Tianchong would have this talent.

——————————————

From this day on, Wei Tianchong followed Tang Jie to play root carving every day.

Unlike Tang Jie's "favored by the Array Dao", this young master really loves carving, which is exactly in line with Xu Muyang's saying that there is talent with love.

At first, Wei Tianchong was a little worried that his mother would teach him plaything and lose his ambition after learning about it. Later, after hearing that Tang Jie said that this was also one of the foundations of cultivating immortals, he became obsessed with root carving every day.

Sure enough, after hearing about this, the wife deliberately consulted the spiritual master Lu. After confirming that she was correct, she just said "Don't miss other lessons", and she never took care of her son again.

To her, it didn't matter which way her son Xiuxian took. The important thing was that he finally had his own pursuit and worked hard for the pursuit, so he also appreciated Tang Jie more and more.

Good people can make progress for their children!

Tang Jie's mood during this time was getting more and more depressed.

With the increase of the carving time, Wei Tianchong's level of root carvings has improved by leaps and bounds. At first he could only carve some small wooden gadgets, but only a few months later, Wei Tianchong has already begun to take the entire section. The trunk is carved out of the tall guy.

A few months later, Wei Tianchong's first large-scale wood carving was completed. It was a giant tiger with hanging eyes, and the carving was vivid.

Tang Jie has no doubt that if it is paired with a suitable refining formation, it will become a real man-eating tiger.

Watching Wei Tianchong put his first large-scale work in a flowerbed decorated with petals and watched triumphantly, Tang Jie quietly crushed the small doll-like puppet in his hand.

My heart is broken.
