Chapter 60: The Curse is a Marksman
Lake came to the art office, knocked on the door, and pushed the door open.
There are four desks in this office, and there is a person on the innermost desk.
The old man in the hat was sitting there, his little round black hat on the table, which was still a little wooden.
Lake looked at it in surprise, and the old man in the hat was carving something with a knife in his hand at this time.
After seeing that it was Lake coming in, the old man in the hat nodded and asked Lake to come over.
"Move a chair yourself, wait for me for a few minutes, and it will be carved in no time." The old man in the hat said with a smile, and continued to carve the villain with a knife in his hand.
This rare opportunity, how could he miss it, Lake quickly moved a chair from the table next to him, sat next to the old man in the hat, and looked at the carving technique of the old man in the hat seriously.
The knife was in the old man's hand, and it was not fast to cut it, but every time he went down, he could cut a small piece of wood.
The figure of a woman gradually took shape on the small wooden square, and the old man in the hat continued to decorate the woman's face.
The wooden figure in the old man's hand became more and more lifelike.
Lake looked at the old man in the hat, this is a master carver!
Looks like the right choice for this afternoon.
Originally, I just wanted to learn to draw from the old man in the hat, but now in this situation, I can learn carving directly with the old man in the hat.
A few minutes later, the old man in the hat carved the little figure in his hand and put it on the table, a young woman in ancient costume, looking pitiful.
"I've kept you waiting, I'm used to carving before, and I'll practice my hands when I'm fine." The old man in the hat looked up at Lake and said casually.
"Teacher, I also want to learn this carving technique and carve people." Lake said straight what he really thought.
"Oh! Do you want to learn carving too?
Okay, give you a piece of wood, and first carve the little fat man you drew in the morning. The old man in the hat gave Lake a small piece of wood and handed him a knife.
Lake just wanted to take a pen and draw the shape of a little fat man on this wood.
"What are you doing, don't paint, sculpt according to your memory.
Concentrate your mind, think about the appearance of the little fat man in your head, and carve out the characteristics of the little fat man.
Don't ask for an image, as long as you think in your heart that the villain you carved is a little fat man, it is. The old man in the hat hurriedly stopped Lake from using his pen and directly asked Lake to use the knife.
"Oh, you mean that even if I don't carve like it, I have to deceive myself first, thinking that what I carved is a little fat man, right?" Lake thought for a moment and looked up and asked.
"Ahem! Almost, so to speak, you let go and carve.
In the process of carving a small figure, it is best not to stop, I will guide you on some techniques with a carving knife on the side. The old man in the hat choked on Lake's words.
Reek regained his grip on the small piece of wood in his left hand and the knife in his right hand, and began to carve it, while the old man in the hat on the side kept pointing at Reker.
More than thirty minutes passed, and a wooden figure as round as a bucket appeared, and Lake felt very unlike, but the old man in the hat praised Lake for his talent.
Lake didn't know if it was more comforting to him.
"Don't be too obsessed with appearances, you have to capture the characteristics of your sculptors.
For example, ten people are standing together, and you choose the little fat man among them as the carving target.
Although the wooden villain you have carved is not too similar, it doesn't matter, as long as you let others see your carved villain, you can be selected from ten people at a glance, it is a little fat man, and you will succeed. The old man in the hat tried to explain to Lake.
Lake nodded, and the old man in the hat then handed over five small wooden squares to the right, and asked Lake to continue carving the little fat man.
Lake picked up the knife again and began to carve it, and after more than twenty minutes, under the guidance of the old man in the hat, the second carved little fat man-like wooden figure was completed, this time at least it no longer looked like a bucket, like a person.
After another hour, the six wooden figures carved by Lake were already on the table.
From the little fat man who looks like a bucket at the beginning, to a little fat man at the end is lined up.
At least the last one can already look like a normal human, a bit like the little fat man himself.
Lake looked at the row of his masterpieces on the table with a sense of accomplishment, it seems that the carving skills of the old man in the hat are absolutely profound, under his guidance, he didn't expect that in just over two hours, he could carve out the little fat man.
This last carved little fat man's finished product, it is estimated that if it is replaced with a cursed carving knife, it should be able to successfully transform into a cursed puppet.
"You've told you the tricks, and the rest is to go back and practice on your own.
As for the charm of the carving and the soul of the carved object, you need to feel it yourself. The old man in the hat looked at Lake with a smile.
"Thank you, teacher!" Lake's sincere thanks this time!
"By the way, Lake, you learn carving, do you also want to enter the copy of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" in the future, and go to learn from Li Xunhuan his example of Xiao Li Flying Knife?
If so, I can give you some advice.
Many years ago, I passed that dungeon perfectly.
I have been following Li Xunhuan for a long time in this carving technique, and he carved Lin Shiyin, and I also learned from carving.
I found that if I mastered the carving skills, the effect of cultivating Xiao Li Flying Knife would be better. The old man in the hat asked Lake suddenly.
"Ahh Xiao Li Feidao, I didn't want to go to that martial arts copy!
And I've already thought about the weapon I want to change, I used to major in the long whip, and this time I was just going to abolish the long whip and replace it with a bow and arrow. If I have another throwing knife, I don't think I can practice it! Lake was stunned for a moment, and then replied to the old man in the hat.
"Change weapons! Replace the whip with a bow and arrow! The old man in the hat was surprised to hear Lake's words.
It's been more than half of the first semester of the third year of high school, and I just thought about abolishing my major weapon and replacing it with other weapons to cultivate, what did I think about earlier!
Of course, the old man in the hat just thought about it psychologically, and he wouldn't say it to Lake, the student.
"Don't you practice throwing knives as a secondary weapon?" The old man in the hat tried to persuade him, and finally took a fancy to a student, and the old man in the hat wanted to kidnap him into the copy of "Xiao Li Flying Knife".
"Bows and arrows are also long-range, and throwing knives are also counted. Even if I choose a secondary weapon, I choose a dagger or something, which is better than a throwing knife. Lake replied to the old man in the hat.
The old man in the hat thought for a moment and smiled bitterly, it was really as Lake said, it was not very useful to get two long-range weapons to cultivate.
"Okay, but ranged weapons, whether they're throwing knives or bows and arrows, are similar in many ways.
I'll tell you a piece of my experience.
When I first started practicing Xiao Li's flying knife, I couldn't shoot either.
Later, I imagined the person I was going to shoot as the wooden man I was going to carve, and remembered his every move and charm in my heart.
After that, I send another fly, and I'll be able to shoot. The old man in the hat said to Lake.
