Chapter 284: Old Qian's Shock
In Qian Lao's house, Ye Chen stood in front of Sanzhixiang and took the carving knife handed by Qian Lao, his face was not happy or sad, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"The three sticks of incense will be extinguished before they burn completely, remember that it is not to cut off the incense sticks, if you cut off the incense sticks, the chance of this incense stick will be gone, as for how to extinguish it, it is up to you." Qian Lao instructed.
Ye Chen nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and raised Ke Zhi Ping, his eyes staring at the incense stick in front of him.
But the next moment, Ye Chen put down his hand, turned his head and said, "Can Qian Lao give me a piece of black cloth?" Looking at the incense, I can't meditate. β
"Huh. How does this kid know to meditate? He thought he could calm his mind by covering his eyes with a black cloth? It's naΓ―ve. Qian Lao thought disapprovingly.
"Xiao Li, give him a piece of black cloth." Qian Lao looked at Ye Chen and commanded.
Ye Chen, who took the black cloth from Steward Li, tried it, the effect was not very good, it was too thorough, I didn't think much about it, Ye Chen folded the black cloth twice and tried again, well, this time the effect was good, there was only one red dot left in the field of vision, silently running the meditation technique, Ye Chen's eyes erupted with a cold light, it was a cold cold light, Ye Chen wanted the black cloth for this reason, for fear that people would see the difference.
Taking a deep breath, his brain went into an ethereal state, and he raised the carving knife in his hand, his eyes fixed on the only red dot in the black cloth.
Just when the first incense stick burned by a third, Ye Chen let out a loud cry in his heart, the movement of his hand changed, and the carving knife slashed downward.
I saw that the cold light was fleeting, and the incense stick, which was still bright red just now, suddenly flashed, and a wisp of green smoke came out, and then it was extinguished.
Hey, it's easy, could it be that Qian Lao deliberately waterproofed me to pass the test?
Ye Chen was covered with a black cloth and couldn't see the expressions of the two people beside him at all. Otherwise it wouldn't have been thought that way.
At this time, beside Ye Chen, Qian Lao and Steward Li both opened their eyes and looked at this scene in disbelief.
"This person's speed is so fast, the speed of the shot is not something that can be practiced in a day or two, it should be a practitioner, but how can such a young practitioner have it? Could it be that this kid is even martial in his mother's womb? Steward Li, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, looked at Ye Chen with a shocked expression.
Qian Lao, who was standing on the side, was not much better, looking at Ye Chen with his mouth wide open, Qian Lao's heart turned up a huge wave, this... Good speed, good stable wrist, no trace of mud and water, all in one go, this... Even when I first learned to split incense, I practiced for a month to do two incense sticks, splitting incense is the introduction to carving, is the foundation, but also depends on how talented you are, ordinary people no matter how they practice, can not extinguish a piece of incense, some talents can be split after a month, excellent talent can be split two, as for three is not nothing. That's a legendary story, at least Qian Lao hasn't seen it.
Could it be that Old Man Li told this kid in advance, and then asked him to practice in advance to worship me as a teacher? Yes, it must be Old Man Li's unruly guy telling his apprentice, hum. Even if you split one, it's useless, it's just a mediocre talent, at most the carving master will be the sky, such a person also wants to be my apprentice? Don't even think about it.
The second root is that it is impossible to succeed, and only a genius like me can reach such heights. It's been decades, and there are only a few people who can split two incense sticks a month, and now they are all middle-aged, and the carving world is really withering.
Ye Chen didn't know what the two people beside him were thinking, staring at the red light through the black cloth eyes, or that plain as watery expression, and did not stop because he had extinguished a stick of incense to meet the requirements, Ye Chen wanted to do better.
He moved lightly to the second stick of incense and raised his knife again, and the incense stick was already half burned.
I saw Ye Chen raise the carving knife again, adjusted his breathing slightly, the cold light rose again, and the incense branch was extinguished.
It's really easy, this incense splitting is not difficult at all, it's too easy.
Qian Lao didn't know what to say anymore, just after scrutiny. Speculation, all in vain.
Two roots, he split two roots, how is this possible, is he a freak, or a coincidence? No, he's a genius, a peerless genius.
Qian Lao's eyes were already different when he looked at Ye Chen, even if Li Guang told Ye Chen to practice in advance, it was a coincidence, was it a coincidence to split one, was it possible to kill two? This is simply not comparable.
Before Qian Lao finished thinking, Ye Chen was already standing in front of the third incense branch, and this time he didn't adjust his breathing, but his hand was up and down, and the incense branch was destroyed.
After the three incense sticks were extinguished, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he felt very tired at this time, as if he had run 10,000 meters or fought with a few women.
I still underestimated the split incense, I didn't feel it just now, but when I relaxed, it turned out to be like this, originally there was still knowledge in it, it was not as simple as I thought, and now it seems that this split incense also has a deep meaning, Ye Chen looked at the three incense sticks that were extinguished and thought.
Fortunately, his body has been transformed, and he has practiced the meditation technique, so he can achieve no waves in the ancient well, otherwise he really wouldn't be successful.
If there is a carving technology points exchange mall, why should you come to learn it, now it seems that it is not nothing, but this skill is passed on by word of mouth, carving is really a broad and profound knowledge, worth learning by yourself.
"Old Qian, the three incense sticks have been chopped, you can take me as an apprentice." Ye Chen took off the black cloth and handed it back to Qian Lao with both hands holding the carving knife.
"Ahh Oh, yes, yes, I actually cleaved out three incense sticks, which is a little worse than I was back then. After speaking, Qian Lao's face was a little red.
I thought in my heart, master, don't blame the apprentice, I'm taking in the apprentice grandson for you, if he knows that he only split the two incense sticks back then, he will definitely look down on me, don't worry about it in the sky.
"Then Qian Lao, can I be your apprentice?" Ye Chen asked again.
"Well, it's not bad, you are the one with the best qualifications I have seen over the years, plus Old Man Li has accepted you as an apprentice, which means that you should have a good heart, and being my apprentice is not a burial of my prestige." Qian Lao said in a flat tone.
"So are you willing? That's great. Ye Chen smiled happily, if he learned this technique, he would be able to carve the good materials he would be able to carve by himself. In the future, you don't have to bother Qian Lao, the so-called art is not pressing, it's always good to learn more, Ye Chen thought to himself.
"Well, from today on, you are my disciple, you also have a senior sister, cough cough, that is, my granddaughter, but she doesn't like carving, and she only learned a little fur, you can't learn her in the future, I can't sweep her out of the house but you can, you know?" Qian Lao said sternly.
"Knowing the master, the disciple will follow the teachings." Ye Chen bowed and said.
"It's not early now, let's eat first, I'll teach you something after eating, you go back and think about it slowly, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me next time, it's okay to buy some scraps to practice." Qian Lao said as he walked towards the room.
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I know the master." β
Come to the house and sit down. Ye Chen took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Ah Ha, asking them to find a place to eat and find a place to live first, because Qian Lao had to teach himself something, and he couldn't leave today.
The lunch meal was very simple, three dishes and one soup, but the craftsmanship was great, Ye Chen ate two bowls of rice before he gave up.
Touching his round belly, Ye Chen said, "Master, your dish is really delicious, it won't be cooked by my wife." β
"It's delicious, this is specially cooked by my granddaughter, how about it, it tastes good." Qian Lao smiled mysteriously.
"Uh, your granddaughter burned it? I really can't see that your granddaughter's cooking skills are so good, I don't know if she is at home, I will also meet the senior sister. Ye Chen said with a smile.
"You want to see her? You've not seen it before. Qian Lao said with a smile.
"You've seen it for a long time? How I don't know. Ye Chen's head was foggy.
"Wei'er, come out to meet your junior brother, she said that your food is delicious, but I didn't eat it." Qian Lao struck at the right time.
"Grandpa, next time you say that I don't cook it if it doesn't taste good, I won't burn it for you. Hum! β
I saw a tall woman with a hot figure walking in at the back of the room, wearing leather clothes, leather pants, leather shoes, and Ye Chen, who was red-haired in a shawl, would never forget it.
"How about you." Ye Chen's eyes widened and he looked at the person in front of him.
"Ye Chen, we met again, I didn't expect you to become my junior brother, what a surprise." The red-haired woman laughed.
