When a person's mind is immersed in something, everything outside has disappeared from my heart.

In my eyes, there is only the piece of nanmu and the sharp carving knife.

The carving knife is my hand, and Nanmu is the carrier I want to use the most.

As for my mind, it was full of the appearance of a woman—her smile, her pride, her arrogance, her presence, her warmth, the way she turned away, and finally, she lay in the grass as quiet and serene as a sleeping beauty.

Her nose, her eyes, her smile and smile all appeared in front of my eyes one after another, making me feel like I couldn't stop my hands at all.

At that moment, I forgot that I was Lu Yan.

Who am I?

I'm just a craftsman who eats on a pair of calloused palms.

The most thing I've ever done in my life is to make one raw material after another into something that is described by the mouth, or animals, or people, or something I don't understand.

Others praise me as a master, the most spiritual craftsman in Yelang, but I only know one thing, and that is to eat and drink by skill.

Eating is the most important thing, and as for other commendable crafts, only you are familiar with them.

I don't know how long it took me, but suddenly a voice came to my ears: "I'm sorry everyone, his mood is not good, I don't want to see outsiders, please go back first......"

It was only then that I came to my senses, and I felt like a tide of consciousness receding.

I subconsciously looked up and saw the white-bearded old man talking to us apologetically, while Xiao Luqi whispered beside him: "Uncle Gu, please, my friend is in a hurry!" ”

The white-bearded old man shook his head and sighed, saying that Nannan's temperament has been like this since he was a child, and when he is in a bad mood, no one can force him......

He was halfway through his sentence, but he looked at me.

I was stared at by the old man, and subconsciously threw the carving knife in my hand on the stone table, stood up hurriedly, and said to him, "I'm sorry, I just looked at my itchy hands." ”

The white-bearded old man walked up to me quickly, looked at the wood carving in my hand and said, "Young man, this is what you carved just now?" ”

At this time, I noticed the wood carving on my left hand, looked down, but saw that it was a Nanmu statue, although it did not go through the process of polishing and polishing, but the carving is very ingenious, ingenious, simple knife skills, but the figure is carved vividly, vividly.

The wood carving in my hand is like a little demon coming to life.

I was stunned until the white-bearded old man asked me a third time, and then I came back to my senses, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I just carved ......"

The white-bearded old man took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and said to me, "Can you give me a look at the old man?" ”

I felt like a hot potato, so I hurriedly handed it to him, and then looked around and saw that both Worm and Xiao Luqi were looking at me with an unfamiliar gaze, and asked with a wry smile, "What happened to me just now?" ”

The worm didn't speak, and Xiao Luqi told me that you were crazy just now, like another person.

Another person, huh?

Isn't it true that it wasn't me who carved the wood just now, but a real craftsman.

Just when I was thinking back to all the incredible things just now, the white-bearded old man suddenly spoke, and said, Little brother, I don't know who you are a carver and a teacher of?

His words were full of respect, which was in stark contrast to the politeness just now.

I pondered for a moment, then replied, "That's me...... There is no teacher and no school, it is the craft of ancient Yelang thousands of years ago. ”

The white-bearded old man sighed and said that it turned out to be the ancestor's thing - if you don't mind, I'll take this wood carving to Nannan to see, what do you think?

I nodded and said yes.

The white-bearded old man entered the house again, and at this time, Xiao Luqi was overjoyed and said to me: "Yu Nannan's temper is very strange, but there is one thing, that is, he is very persistent and full of love for the craft of refining; Since Uncle Gu showed him this wood carving of yours, there is a chance that Yu Nannan will be able to change his mind and see us - Lu Yan, you can, hide it deeply, when will you have such means? ”

I glanced at the worm and whispered, "Blessed spirit, I'm just a blind cat and a dead mouse." ”

Xiao Luqi said don't be modest, when I saw you carving wood just now, I was a little stupid, good guy, a piece of wood was actually carved into a vivid little demon girl in three or two clicks, this craft is simply amazing.

It's obviously a nice thing to be complimented, but I didn't dwell on it, and I was humble.

And at this moment, the white-bearded old man came over excitedly and said to me, "Lu Yan, he wants to see you." ”

I was stunned for a moment and said it was just me?

The white-bearded old man nodded and said yes, he only wants to see you, and no one else will see you.

I said I knew, then I turned around and asked the worm, "What is the specification of the soul charm, what is it, I went in, you can mention it to him." ”

Worm explained to me the specifications for making the spirit talisman, I repeated it just in case I missed anything, and then followed the old man with the white beard into the house.

The room was dark, and I couldn't see anything, I subconsciously slowed down, and felt that I had come to the southwest corner of the living room, and the white-bearded old man slapped a mechanism on the wall, and immediately a tunnel appeared, and there were steps going down one step at a time.

In the basement?

The old man with the white beard stood at the entrance of the tunnel, and did not lead the way, but said to me, "Go down, he will wait for you below." ”

The atmosphere was a little weird, and I was terrified, but I thought that geniuses always had some quirks, so I didn't think much about it, and went down the steps step by step, about seven or eight meters, and came to a wide basement.

The basement was dim except for a large furnace in the southeast corner, which glowed a dark red.

But with the light of the stove, I can barely see the setting.

The entire basement is divided into four parts, and in the southeast corner is a huge furnace, in front of which are many half-finished weapons, and next to it are many metal ores.

There are many wood carvings and stone carvings in the southwest corner, which are unique and vivid.

In the northeast corner, there are many white skeletons, precious stones, strange stones and jadeite, which are worth a thousand gold, scattered on a large square table.

In the northwest corner, there are some leather, textiles, and a large screen, on which is painted a picture of Xiao Heyue chasing Han Xin.

It's a huge space, and the things are so intricately arranged that they feel complicated and neat, and there are so many strange equipment, like a huge workshop, but my eyes have been around several times, and I haven't seen anyone here.

Could it be that the master located in the south of the south did not come down?

Just when I was suspicious, suddenly a voice sounded from behind me: "That wood carving just now, you just carved it?" ”

I looked back and saw a man in a wheelchair in the darkness, and next to him, a huge fat cat with eerily green eyes, staring at me.

In his hand, what he is holding is the little demon girl I carved out just now.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I threw my hand at the man, saying that I had seen Master Yu.

At the same time as I said hello, I also looked at the man by the red light of the fire, and found that he was in his thirties, or younger, and his face was pale, like a scholar who had no power to restrain a chicken, but his eyes were very bright, dark and shiny.

Is this man really Master Yu Nannan?

Doesn't that look like a lot at this age?

The man didn't return the salute, but stared at me and said slowly, "Doesn't it look like it?" ”

His eyes were poisonous, and in fact, if it weren't for that dream last night, facing a piece of wood, I really wouldn't have been able to get anything out of it except chopping it into firewood.

But at this moment, I had some confidence, smiled slightly, and said that the mule is a horse, and I will know if I pull it out for a walk.

When he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said to me, "Okay, you can do it." ”

I didn't make a move immediately, but arched my hand and said: "Master Yu, I can't hide it, my craft is God-given, and if I have a dream, I can do anything; But this is only a small skill, and I came here to ask you to help make a spirit talisman, I ......"

He raised his hand and motioned to me not to say more: "Your purpose, Uncle Shi has already told me, there is no need to say more, as long as I am sure of your craftsmanship, it is a small problem." ”

Hearing this, I didn't hesitate any longer, and said that I would like to borrow a carving knife.

Yu Nannan's wheelchair suddenly rolled forward, all the way forward, to the southwest corner, I followed him, saw him take out a complete set of carving tools from a wooden cabinet, and then pointed to many precious solid wood in the corner, and said to me: "Feel free." ”

I didn't know the value of the wood, so I grabbed a blood-red piece of wood and drew a carving knife.

Holding these two items in my hands, I closed my eyes.

Countless memories came flooding back to my heart.

The craftsman's memory seemed to be very dear to the knife and the wood, and as soon as I held it in my hand, a great sense of familiarity immediately swelled up, and I opened my eyes to find that I had already cut the wood.

The strength of each knife, the texture of the wood, and the technique of the tip of the knife seemed to flood into my heart like inertia.

Ten minutes later, a vivid insect appeared in my hands.

I put away the carving knife and handed it to Master Yu.

He gently stroked the wood carving, and after a long time, he asked: "The bottle just now is called friendship; And this is called love, right? ”
