Chapter 420: Zhangmu tortoise shell

Yu Shan's current coordination of hands, feet, and body is compared to before, it is simply a heaven and an underground!

Of course, Yu Shan knows that in fact, this is the result of his physical training during this time, it turns out that the divine soul is strong, and it is not very coordinated with the body, and in recent times, the strength of the body has increased rapidly, so with the divine soul, some simple manual movements, there is really no difficulty for him.

However, Yu Shan didn't want to talk to Yu Shui and Yu Hai about such a thing, because it would discourage them too much.

So Yu Shan thought for a while, and then said: "Seriousness is one thing, if you are serious, your concentration will be strong, and if you are focused, your hands will be stable, and all of this actually comes from the coordination of your hands, eyes and hearts."

The most obvious example is the aunts who dance in the square, how many of our old ladies here can dance in the past? Who will participate in the various performances? But now the environment is different, and everyone dances again, so the old man and the old lady, who are more serious, have become the main force of square dancing.

Especially the little apple, with a strong sense of rhythm in the coquettish and charming, those old men and old ladies dance much better than many young people, and they also have a lot of feeling, which is the result of seriousness and concentration. ”

Although Yu Shan has not practiced carving recently, he has not practiced drawing symbols, in fact, it is all a matter of control, and then practice makes perfect.

Muscle control is strengthened, the effect of sculpting is naturally obvious, coordination is enhanced, and the effect is also obvious, and perhaps the concentration is enhanced, which can also make the effect more obvious.

After practicing with cork a few times, Yu Shan felt that the exercise was almost over, so he directly changed to hardwood.

You know, he has even carved jade, and the difficulty of this hardwood should not be a problem.

Now Yu Shan practice carving, are from the most basic knife practice, before the knife skills are passed, absolutely will not carve things!

Previously, when Yu Shui practiced swords in the valley, Yu Shan was not idle, at that time, he got up every day, first practiced the knife technique for two hours, and then practiced the palm technique for another hour.

Later, even the knife work in the kitchen fell into his hands, so now Yu Shan can successfully carve a work, which is the result of his months of hard work.

"Talent is really that important?" Yu Shui was a little lost.

Yu Hai disagreed: "No matter how good your talent is, if you don't work hard, it's in vain, Yu Shui, if you train hard, you will definitely do better than Yu Shan." ”

Yu Shui shook his head and said, "You don't see the point, the focus is not how the carved thing is, but how it is carved." ”

Yu Hai glared and said: "My artistic accomplishment, you don't have to doubt, do you know what my mother does?" Her family is a family of antiques, a real scholarly family, and I still can't understand carving? Isn't it just that your hands are a little steater and the speed of carving is faster? I see that the little girl he carved is not much better than the one you carved. ”

Yu Shui continued to shake his head: "It's too strong, haven't you seen that Yu Shan carved the outline of a little girl with one knife?" Everything else, whether it's the eyes, nose, or face, is done with one knife, but I use three to five cuts, which is a huge difference. ”

"What kind of gap is this? Could it be that you are practicing the Han Eight Knife technique? Do you have to do a carving with eight knives? Yu Hai said disapprerovingly.

Yu Shan was stunned and said: "Eight knives carving a work, is it the Han Eight Knife?" ”

Yu Shui looked at Yu Shan strangely and said, "Don't you know?" The representative work of the Han Eight Knife is the Eight Knife Cicada, which is divided into Pei Cicada, the crown cicada and the 'Zhi' (琀 Cicada), the form of the Eight Knife Cicada usually uses a concise straight line, abstract expression of its morphological characteristics, and its characteristic is that each line is straight and powerful, as if cut out with a knife, commonly known as the Han Eight Knife.

Its eight knives indicate that with a few knives, the jade cicada can be injected with full vitality, that is to say, the Han eight knives refer to a concise style of craftsmanship, not a special name for the process, let alone a specific jade. ”

Yu Shan really doesn't know what Han Badao is, but now when he hears it, he really feels that Han Badao is good, conciseness should be the essence of it, a few knives, to carve out the charm of a work, this kind of kung fu is not so easy to do.

However, the reason why Yu Shan completed the carving so easily was not to pursue the essence of simplicity, but to complete it in one go, because it was so important for drawing symbols.

"It doesn't matter how many knives to complete the carving, the important thing is to be smooth, we practice carving, not for the sake of carving out to look good, but for practicality, the carving of jade runes, the painting of paper runes, all need to be done in one go.

In this process, as long as you hesitate and the carving is stopped, it will cause the line to be interrupted, so that when the aura is running, there will be stagnation, or simply not passable, so that a piece of jade will be scrapped. Yu Shan explained.

"So that's the case, so is the drawing of the talisman?" Yu Shui cites the Tao of inference.

Yu Shan said: "Of course, drawing talismans is more important, because the talisman paper is not as strong as the carrying capacity of jade, as long as it is a little uncomfortable, it will fail." ”

As he spoke, Yu Shan took out a handful of talismans, which he had recently drawn, and now Yu Shan put all his belongings on his body to be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

"These are talismans? What's the use? Yu Shui and Yu Hai both came over and carefully observed the talisman that Yu Shan took out.

"Is there a charm to ward off evil spirits? Dementor talismans are also fine, exorcism talismans, exorcism talismans or something, give me a dozen. Yu Hai looked at a talisman in his hand and said.

Yu Shan just glanced at Yu Hai, he didn't pay attention to him at all, and he still wanted it!

"What kind of charm is this?" Yu Shui picked up one and asked.

Yu Shan looked at it and was happy: "This is the exorcism talisman." ”

"How do I look at this like a word, it's light, right?" Yu Shui said with a puzzled face.

Yu Shan nodded and said: "This is a pictogram, and it is really light, representing light, so it can drive away evil spirits." ”

"So this one is on fire? What are three fires stacked together? Yu Hai picked up a somewhat complicated talisman and asked.

"This is the Vermilion Bird Talisman, don't you see a little bird down there?" Yu Shandao.

"Vermilion Bird Talisman? The four divine beasts have all come out, so the power of this talisman is very great? "Yu Haidao.

Thinking of the power of the Vermilion Bird Talisman, Yu Shan said a little embarrassed: "It's okay!" ”

"What about this! How do I look like a tree? Yu Shui looked at a talisman suspiciously.

Yu Shan looked at it and said, "That's a failed talisman, it's useless." ”

"Useless? You didn't succeed? Yu Hai looked at him curiously.

Yu Shan said: "This is a rejuvenation talisman, it is a wooden talisman, at first I thought it was very easy to draw, but I didn't expect it to belong to the same first-class talisman, but this kind of talisman is very difficult to draw, among the five elements of the talisman, the wooden talisman is very complicated, I haven't succeeded once." ”

"I don't think the tree you drew is right, it's a hieroglyphic wood, right?" After Yu Hai took the talisman, he carefully examined it and put forward his opinion.

"Isn't that right? What's wrong? This pictograph, I have checked a lot of information, after countless comparisons, I learned, how can there be a mistake? "Yu Shan Road.

Yu Hai shook his head and said: "It's really wrong, I seem to have seen this word, it's definitely not like this, where have I seen it?" It shouldn't be long, and if it was, I think you'd have forgotten about it. ”

"By the way, it should be this." At this time, Yu Shui touched a wooden turtle from the windowsill at the head of the bed.

"Yes, it's the hieroglyph on this turtle." At this time, Yu Hai also remembered.

Yu Shan took a look, isn't this the tortoise shell that Qian Xiaohao bought the magic weapon compass and gave away?

"This is not a tortoise, it is a tortoise shell, which is used to predict good luck and evil." Yu Shan took it and said.

Yu Shuidao: "The ancients used to choose a good turtle shell, and then bake it with fire until the turtle shell was full of cracks, and then divination according to the cracks. I have not heard of carving a tortoise shell out of wood to predict good luck and evil. ”

Yu Shan chuckled: "There are many things you don't know, roast the back of the tortoise shell on the fire, look at the pattern formed by the bursting, and predict the good luck, but not only with the tortoise shell, this kind of tortoise shell carved from camphor wood has a better effect." ”

It turned out that Yu Shan felt that this camphor tortoise shell was not simple, at least it looked very simple, as if it had been for many years, and now, it was even more difficult to look at.

Since Yu Shan opened the Heavenly Eye, he rarely lived here, so after he got this camphor wood tortoise shell, he really didn't use the Heavenly Eye to see it.

Looking at it with the eyes of heaven now, although there is no spiritual light connotation, and there is no trace of spiritual energy external cooperation, Yu Shan still sees a slight difference.

Ordinary wood products, if it is dead wood, are either dead or have no breath, but this tortoise shell is different, it is like a living one.

It's not that the tortoise shell is alive, but it's wooden, I don't know how many years this camphor tortoise shell has been made, and Yu Shan can still see its activity.

"Could it be Lingmu? However, it's the spirit wood, and after a long time, the aura has also been drained away, right? What's more, this is a tortoise shell that has already been used, and it is impossible to have any vitality left. Yu Shan looked at the piece of wooden tortoise shell and showed a trace of doubt.

Although the essence of wood in this tortoise shell is very rare, similar to ordinary wood, this is even more abnormal.

After the ordinary wood is cut down, it quickly withers and dies, and the vitality is naturally gone, and this camphor tortoise shell is obviously extraordinary.

"The more ordinary you look, the more extraordinary it is." Yu Shan took this tortoise shell and sighed a little, if he hadn't come back today, he would have forgotten about it.

"How do you know it's camphor?" Yu Shui looked at Yu Shandao a little strangely.

"Is it because of the words on it? You don't know all the words on it, do you? At this time, Yu Hai looked at Yu Shandao a little strangely. (To be continued.) )
