Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 25, The Visitor
The Pony Sculpture Museum officially opened on a calm morning.
Ma Yang put on a mask, put the signboard on the side of the street, took a deep breath, the morning air was a little humid and cool, so that the night's dirt turned into nothingness. Tata flew beside him, and Qin Xue had already gone out at this time, and was in the forest not far from the city, bargaining with the timber merchant.
"Our store will be open for a week, and the in-store products will be given away for free!" When the banner was hung up, skeptical passers-by poured in.
The carving knife in Ma Yang's hand is very rusty, and he will scratch his hand from time to time, and the carved wood is basically waste, and the empty shelves are full of failed products. The people who walked in gradually became disappointed after reading it, and this kind of ugly artwork could not enter the eyes of ordinary people at all.
Tata can't stand it, if he wants to continue like this, his goal has not been achieved, and the sculpture hall will go out of business. Thinking of this, Tata also took out the carving knife from the box, and the three-foot-high wood quickly turned into an exquisite rockery in Tata's hands, and as soon as the work came out, it was taken away by the people who came in.
"Sir, would you like to cooperate with us?" A businessman who saw Tata's work rushed to hear the news in the afternoon and signed a very affordable contract with the Pony Sculpture Museum, which was enough for Ma Yang to have daily living expenses, and Tata signed Ma Yang's name on a piece of paper.
"The reason why I asked you to open this carving hall is just to let you calm down and learn swordsmanship." Ma Yang didn't understand from the beginning that he had never been exposed to carving, so why he let himself open this shop.
"You take the wood as an opponent, and use the sword in your hand to portray their image, you look closely." The light at night is that orange soft, and Tata holds his own thin sword, which flies without using a carving knife to turn the wood into a work of art, and the figure looks exactly like Ma Yang.
"Do everything with your heart, only when you find your own sword heart, can you do everything well."
The long sword in his hand is the guidance of his soul, after Ma Yang calmed down, he held the carving knife hard, and the three-foot wood was gradually carved into a meat skewer, similar to the barbecue that his father sold every day, but this is wooden, and there is no taste of meat.
The realm of carving, in fact, is difficult to divide, ordinary people look at the appearance, insiders look at the carving techniques, masters look at the mood when carving. If Ma Yang's mood at this time was ethereal, it was likely to carve rare treasures, although it seemed rusty at first, but after several technical failures, Ma Yang gradually mastered the technique.
"Yo, this character looks good, but the fly in the ointment is that you don't know this person well enough."
In the evening shop, a hermit wearing a black cloak and a black top hat walked in, hiding his entire face in a black veil, revealing only black leather gloves, and playing with miniature carvings.
There was a twisted wooden staff tied to his back, and at the top of the wooden staff was a pale yellow crystal that looked very valuable, tied with rattan, Ma Yang stared at it for a long time, and his eyes refused to leave.
"Hey, did you know it's rude to stare at someone like that?" The hermit put down the carving, and the statue that originally looked rigid actually showed something vivid on it. Hermits are very common in the Hundred Ghost Planet, and for some reason they don't want to show their true faces, so they wear a wide cloak and completely wrap their bodies inside the costume in front of them.
Ordinary people don't dare to provoke hermits easily, this group is too mysterious, and only when the planet encounters a big event, they will come out and walk in the world. When you can see hermits in the world, it can almost predict the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, so many people call them "crows".
"So Mr. Raven, what are you doing here? The small shop has not yet opened any good works, and now only advance reservations are accepted. After putting his mind back on the carving knife, the wood in his hand was gradually carved into a person.
"Where is this child, please take me to her." When he saw the statue that Ma Yang had just carved out of his face, the hermit's tone suddenly became excited, Ma Yang carved Qin Xue who followed him, but the wooden face also wore a mask, just by seeing his eyes, the hermit's mood changed.
"Big brother, are there any customers in the store at such a late hour?" After the curtain behind the counter was opened, Qin Xue, who was wearing a maple leaf pattern mask, walked out with a fruit, the blue-red fruit is a specialty here, and it tastes like an apple, but it is smaller.
The hermit stared at Qin Xue with both eyes, and was blocked by Ma Yang, who stood up. "Isn't it okay for you to stare at people like this?" At the same time, he muttered in his heart, even if she was wearing a mask, how could Qin Xue's appearance still not be stopped, and even a hermit would be attracted?
"No offense, you also know that every time our group of black crows appear in the world, it will cause a riot, and now the biggest crisis that the hundred ghost stars are facing is the appearance of the emerald god, which has begun to corrode this starry sky, and the federal government and the hunter guild have not noticed, and they will not notice it for a long time, the emerald god uses spiritual power, which is what we ordinary people call the mind." The hermit reached out and took a fruit from the counter and put it in the black veil.
With his right hand, he removed the wooden staff from his back and touched it to the ground, and the surrounding environment began to change in an instant.
The walls of the store disappeared, replaced by icebergs and fire, and the sky was no longer the usual color of the starry sky, but became a verdant green. The invisible attraction in the starry sky made Ma Yang and the others feel a little depressed, and the hermit held a scepter and looked up at the sky, although he couldn't see his face, he could also feel that his heart was heavy.
As soon as the scene turned, the emerald green in the sky gathered, and the color of the ground beneath his feet also changed, the original purple was replaced by light green, and in front of the sky were more than a dozen blurred points of light.
"That's my mother-in-law!" Qin Xue suddenly pointed to a white ball of light in the sky and said.
The hermit turned his head to look at Qin Xue, his gaze was extremely deep. "Can you see her?" There was a hint of surprise in his tone.
Qin Xue nodded and said, "I can see the few that are close to us, and I can't do it if it's farther away." ”
It didn't take long for the point of light in the sky to begin to descend after being hit, until the first point of light was smashed into the pit, and the green energy began to become violent, quickly drowning the mother-in-law. If you look at it from the air, the entire Hundred Ghost Star is gradually surrounded by green, as if it has been corroded, and just as it is about to completely transform into green, powerful energy fluctuations come from the center of the earth, and an extremely strong light shoots directly into the air from the ground.
"This light is you." The hermit said lightly.
