Ning Cheng was silent after hearing this.

One day carving wood carving, Ningcheng can understand.

But carving a wood carving for a lifetime ...

Ning Cheng said, "Old man, is it too expensive to carve a wood carving for a lifetime?" Isn't the carving technique better improved through one wood carving after another? ”

Ning Cheng saw the furnishings in front of him, there were a lot of wood carvings, and it could be seen that the old man had been carving for at least a few years.

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "That's right, wood carving does need time to precipitate to progress, but the wood carving I just said about carving a lifetime is not in front of me." ”

"Not in sight?"

The old man nodded and said, "I'm not as powerful as you warriors, but in the field of wood carving, I'm also very strong, these wood carvings in front of me are my own, but not my true self, the wood carving I really want to carve is in my heart, and it naturally takes a lifetime to carve it." ”

"The real me? Heart? ”

Ning Cheng's eyes shrunk, he didn't seem to understand.

Then I started watching it in the store again.

There are many types of wood carvings carved by the old man, birds and animals, figures, flowers, and they are much higher than Ningcheng in terms of strength and technology.

But it's just the appearance, Ning Cheng can't see a trace of charm in these wood carvings...

It seems to be just an exhibit.

"How? How does it feel? The old man asked.

Ning Cheng didn't say anything, but smiled and said, "Old man, I want you to see the wood carvings I carved, I seem to have encountered a bottleneck recently. ”

"Oh?" The old man nodded and said, "I'm not qualified for cultivation, but I can still say two words about wood carving." ”

Ning Cheng nodded, and then took out the recently carved wood carving.

It's that somewhat rough dragon-shaped sculpture.

The old man picked up the wood carving, his eyes shrank suddenly, and then said, "Have you ever seen a dragon?" ”

"Why did the old man say that?"

The old man said, "I already have a bit of charm, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, or if I had spent a lot of effort, it would definitely not have been carved like this, and it was already a bit of charm." ”

Ning Cheng's eyes lit up, and then he said, "You see that?" ”

The old man smiled lightly and said, "Although this wood carving is not fluent or exquisite, ordinary people probably won't like it, but it is much more interesting than the wood carvings I have on my shelf." ”

Ning Cheng said, "Old man, these shouldn't be all of your collections, right?" ”

When the old man heard this, he said, "Haha, you are very smart, what you see now is all carved for some interested people to buy, as for those wood carvings carved with heart, they are naturally not here, because they are not for sale." ”

"Can I take a look?" Ning Cheng couldn't help but ask.

The old man hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You carve one on the spot first, and I'll take a look." ”

Obviously, the old man was a little suspicious of Ning Cheng.

Although Ning Cheng's combat power was much higher than him, in terms of carving technology, he believed that he was still better than Ning Cheng.

Of course, the most important point is.

The old man didn't believe that the young man in front of him could carve such a profound wood carving.

Ning Cheng was idle anyway, and he took out the carving knife again.

"That's all you use?" The old man was slightly surprised.

Ning Cheng nodded and said, "I haven't had a chance to buy a good carving knife. ”

The old man shook his head with a smile and said, "I have a handful that I have been using for a long time, so I'll lend it to you first." ”

"Good!"

Ning Cheng really wanted to get some real carving knives, after all, the carving knives made of jade were still a little bit less interesting.

The old man took out a cloth bag from the shelf beside him, which was already a little worn out and full of mottled marks.

However, he still carefully opened the cloth bag, and there were several carving knives lying inside.

These knives are fixed with blackened wood, the blades are black, only the end is open, and they look unremarkable or even very ordinary.

However, after Ning Cheng took the carving knife, he still took a closer look, and at the position of his thumb and ring finger, the wood was already blackened, which showed that the old man had indeed used this carving knife for a long time.

Ning Cheng took out a piece of wood and began to carve it.

He didn't follow the process, but carved it himself.

A real carving knife is more difficult to carve than a jade carving knife, but Ningcheng has a new experience.

The carving knife made a crisp sound as it slashed across the wood, and although the knife in front of him looked very worn, it was very sharp.

After less than half a pillar of incense, Ning Cheng carved the form.

It's still in the shape of a dragon.

Ning Cheng had been completely immersed in that world, and he had even forgotten the old man in front of him, carving one knife after another.

The old man looked at Ning Cheng's performance, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

"It's kind of interesting, at a young age, I'm about to enter the realm."

When the old man saw this scene, he didn't disturb Ning Cheng, but came to the door silently, continued to rely on it, and fell asleep.

Ning Cheng sat on a chair, quietly carving.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Ning Cheng had gradually carved out the shape of a dragon.

He blew lightly, then said, "I didn't expect that a real carving knife would feel like this." ”

Ning Cheng carefully played with the wood carving in his hand, and he found that the dragon sculpture carved by the carving knife was even rougher than the jade carving, but Ning Cheng was very satisfied.

Because he actually entered that strange state.

The old man seemed to be disturbed by Ning Cheng.

He opened his eyes, and then said, "Yes, you do have some skills, and you can be said to have a great talent for carving. ”

Ning Cheng shook his head and said, "I also learned wood carving for a certain purpose, not to mention hobbies and interests." ”

The old man smiled, "Sometimes, it is a good thing to learn something and like it, but it does not mean that if you like it, you can carve good things, especially wood carving, which is about talent and self-precipitation." ”

Ning Cheng said, "Old man, can you show me the real work you carved now?" ”

The old man nodded with a smile and said, "Let's go, come in, I'll show you." ”

Ning Cheng nodded and followed the old man into the room inside.

The furnishings in this room are simpler, basically there are no display shelves, but in the middle of the house, there is a sword, or more precisely, a wood carving.

It should be made of a piece of root wood, and the texture of the wood can still be seen at the base, and the shape of a sword has been carved by the old man.

If you don't look closely, you think it's really a golden sword!

As soon as Ning Cheng approached, an extremely powerful pressure instantly enveloped his body.

He frowned slightly, looked at the old man, and found that the old man's face had not changed in the slightest.

The old man opened his mouth and said, "This is what I have carved all my life, my sword heart..."
