Chapter 10 The Conjuring Charm and Dong Zhongming
I used to hear people say that art teachers would always tell their students about the feelings contained in an oil painting and the meaning contained in a sculpture.
However, when the person in front of me said this with great certainty, I immediately fell to the ground in admiration.
It turns out that the dedication is to the extreme, can you really feel the emotions in it?
But I still have some doubts in my heart, how do you know for sure?
Yu Nannan smiled, his smile was very cold, as if he was looking down on everything in the air.
He said slowly: "The wood carving in front of it focuses on the expressions and temperaments on the faces of the characters, while this bottle has an almost subtle grasp of the proportions of the body; In other words, the woman in the front is the object that you can only look at from a distance and not play with, just a figure you respect, and the person in the back, you have a strong interest in her body, and subconsciously express strong emotions - am I right? β
I subconsciously stretched out my hand, Yu Nannan handed me the statue of the worm, I looked carefully, and found that it was really as he said, enlarged breasts and buttocks, even if the knife skills were rough, they couldn't hide that kind of charm.
In other words, my subconscious mind is to think of the worm as a woman with a tendency to desire.
And the little demon is just a spiritual totem.
After all, she is my cousin-in-law and my sister-in-law......
I let out a long breath and said I admired.
Yu Nannan sat on the wooden wheelchair, looked up at me, and said that you are a monk halfway, a lot of things, I feel very rusty, if I didn't see you carving such a wonderful work with my own eyes, I couldn't believe it.
I didn't hide it, nodded my head, and said yes, I just had a dream, and then suddenly I had this craft.
Yu Nannan nodded and said, oh, I see.
I was a little surprised, and said you are not strange?
Yu Nannan shrugged his shoulders and said that in the Mongolian and Tibetan areas, there are often some deeds, and illiterate farmers or herdsmen suddenly become enlightened one day and can sing more than millions of words of poetry and biographies word for word; There are also people who are obviously children, but they can understand the past decades ago, some of them are the soul awakening of the past, and some are the genetic dominance in the body, I know a lot, and I have become accustomed to it.
Only then did I realize that the one in front of me was a famous master of weaponry, and he had come into contact with far more rivers and lakes than I knew, what had I not seen?
Yu Nannan suddenly sighed, I can't say that this matter is spread on you, it is indeed a pity.
I was stunned, how can I say this?
Yu Nannan said: "This craft of yours is close to the Tao, if you can learn refining tools, you will definitely be able to go further; It's a pity that I can see the hatred and persistence in your eyes, and I know that in recent years, it has been difficult for you to calm down and learn things about refining, right? β
I nodded, and then said: "This statue in your hand is my little master, she has just been killed by someone in a cruel way, if I can't find the murderer and take revenge, I'm afraid that I will be uneasy in this life." β
Yu Nannan didn't ask me the details, but just said, "The soul talisman you just mentioned was also for her?" β
I nodded, yes.
He was puzzled, and said Could it be that your little master's soul still has sustenance and has not died?
I was stunned and said, what, what is this statement?
Yu Nannan said: "The soul charm, as the name suggests, is to reunite people's heavenly souls, earth souls, and human souls, that is, fetal light, cool spirits, and ghost spirits, and condense them into souls; There are conditions for using this, and it must be relied on, otherwise even if it is used, it will have no effect, and it will just add to the waste. β
I frowned and said that there is still this exquisiteness?
Yu Nannan glanced at me and said You don't know?
I shook my head and said that I didn't know, this matter was all done by others, I only knew the execution, and I didn't know the specific things.
Yu Nannan said: "This matter is not too late, otherwise the soul will disperse, and no matter how much you bother, it will be useless." I've got the materials to make the talismans, and I'll do them right away, but you'll have to leave these two pieces of wood carving to meβI need to figure out what you've done on them, and count them as a reward for me. β
I took a look at the wood carvings of the little demon and the worm, and I was a little reluctant in my heart, saying why don't I carve two more for you?
Yu Nannan smiled and said no.
I was stunned and said why?
He reached over, snatched the wood carving of the insect from my hand, and said to me: "These two bottles are carved by you after you have moved your emotions, and there is a sense of God, and if you carve someone else, there is no emotion, there is no charm." Stuff like that, all over the street, how can I be rare? β
When he said this, I didn't argue anymore, thinking that since I had this skill, I was not afraid that I would not be able to get it.
It's just that he took the wood carvings of the little demon and the insect to a strange man, and let him observe and think about it every day, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
Yu Nannan is ready to make a spirit talisman, let me avoid it, don't go far, just wait at the steps.
After about half an hour, I heard a startled sound of wooden clapping, and then Yu Nannan said: "Fat Tiger, give it to him." β
I turned my head, but I saw the big gray and white fat cat next to Yu Nannan running to my side with a wooden carving.
I leaned over and picked it up, and saw that it was also a wood carving, not to compare with mine, but it looked much simpler, with an abstract face, almost like a wooden pestle, but there were many tiny runes carved on it, and then it was wound with red thread, which was very fine.
Yu Nannan's wheelchair dragged him into the darkness, and he said slowly: "Lu Yan, if you figure it out in the future and decide to let go of your hatred and concentrate on refining weapons, you can come to me." β
I bowed to him and nodded, then walked up the stone steps and out of the basement.
Leaving the house, I returned to the courtyard, Xiao Luqi saw me walking out, hurriedly walked up to me, and asked, "How is it, is it okay?" β
I nodded, then pulled the amulet out of my pocket.
Xiao Luqi reached over to take it, and at this time, the insect grabbed it in his hand first, and said nervously: "It's better for me to keep it, right?" β
She didn't put it away immediately, but gave Xiao Luqi a look before receiving it in her arms.
Xiao Luqi smiled awkwardly, and then said to the white-bearded old man, "Uncle Gu, I'm really troublesome to you......
The white-bearded old man greeted Xiao Luqi, while I pulled the worm aside and asked in a low voice, "The little demon is still alive, right?" β
The worm suddenly raised his head, looked at me, squinted, and said, "What do you know?" β
Seeing that she didn't deny it, I couldn't help but get excited, and whispered: "When I begged Master Yu to make a soul talisman just now, he told me that the effect of this thing is to gather living souls, otherwise there is no other use for taking this - you say that this is for the sake of transcending the spirit of the little demon, is it a lie?" β
The worm pursed its mouth and did not speak.
I became more and more anxious, and said you told me, don't you even trust me?
The worm shook his head and said you don't have to ask, you'll know when the time comes.
I saw that the worm still refused to speak, but the look on his face said it all, and the whole person suddenly became much lighter, as if the burden on his heart was suddenly gone.
I don't know exactly what the worm does or why it's so weird, but one thing I know for sure is that there is hope.
If there is hope, why sink into self-blame?
I took a long breath, and the whole person became energetic, and at this time, Xiao Luqi also said goodbye to the white-bearded old man, turned her head to find us to leave, and saw a smile on the corner of my mouth, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You two, what's wrong?" β
I shook my head and said nothing.
Xiao Luqi said that something must be wrong with you, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
We left Master Yu and returned to the car, which was Director Dai's own, a BYD that had been driven for several years, and was left to us because Xiao Luqi brought us over to do errands.
Xiao Luqi didn't get into the car, but asked the worm, "Where to go next?" β
The worm's eyes looked at the small lake not far away, and said that this lake is very beautiful, and I am tired, so let's take a rest by this lake.
Xiao Luqi shrugged her shoulders and said whatever you want.
She got into the car and didn't start, but called Lin You, and at this moment, I saw a man in a gray-white tunic coming from a distance, glanced at us, didn't speak, but walked directly into Master Yu's courtyard.
I was a little allergic to the tunics, so as soon as the man appeared, I immediately became nervous, pulled the worm, and asked in a low voice, "Is that him?" β
The worm shook his head and said no.
Xiao Luqi turned her head to look while making a phone call, and after a few brief words, she said suspiciously: "Hey, why is he here?" β
Who is this man, I asked?
Xiao Luqi said that this person's name is Dong Zhongming, and he is a subordinate of the Black Hand Shuangcheng.
My heart skipped a beat, I glanced at the worm, found that she was expressionless, and then said to Xiao Luqi: "Let's drive, by the way, how is Lin You's side?" β
Xiao Luqi said that she had arrived in the magic capital, and the person had been put into the life-support freezer and was signing a confidentiality agreement.
The car started and drove all the way to the lake, and stopped under a ghost locust tree.
Xiao Luqi opened the window, lowered the chair, and said that since this is the case, then let's sleep.
Last night has been busy, she is also tired, not long after falling asleep, I wanted to continue to talk to the insect about the previous topic, but found that the insect also closed his eyes, there is no way, only to get out of the car, walk around the lake.
And when I just came back, I saw the man named Dong Zhongming walking towards the car.
