Chapter 355: Practicing Jade Carving
Does it matter?
Lao Xi continued, "The cemetery where my father asked me to apprentice is a little life-saving method for me to ask for to prevent any more karmic debts from coming to my door. Later, after the master retired, I also went home to take over the family business, until a few years ago, I accidentally found out that the master was actually running a pawnshop, he asked me to keep a secret, and never see him again, I thought he didn't want to be disturbed, so I didn't bother him. β
I nodded understandingly, but Uncle Shi, I really couldn't shout, "Then how do you know that I want to cultivate spiritual power?" β
"My master is right," he said, taking out a letter from the cabinet beside him, "Well, this, a few days ago, the master suddenly came with a letter, and I was wondering, you came." β
I can't fully believe what this man says, but the handwriting is indeed my grandfather's handwriting, and I can't be sure with my pupils. "Oh, let's get started."
"I'm in such a hurry." Lao Xi smiled, "Okay, then do you want to try it first?" β
I raised an eyebrow, can this person really be? "I haven't even learned it, so you let me try it? Your heart is so big? β
"That's how your grandfather taught me Taoism back then." The smile on Lao Xi's face sank.
So you're retaliating, aren't you? "I don't have a knife."
"Use mine first," he said, and went to get his set of knives briskly, "Come on, you try the feel first." "Got me a good size.
I held it and felt a little warm, "This is Wen Yu!" "This guy is really willing, Wen Yu.
"Yes, it's not a winter when you have cold hands in the water," Lao Xi smiled, "Try it, how about it." β
I thought about Lao Xi's technique, using the knife to wave in mid-air, lifting the knife gently, dropping the knife crisply, and controlling the strength of the wrist, otherwise it would be easy to throw out, and the stone could not be cut lightly, and only the phantom of the carving knife was waving in mid-air.
After doing a whole set, I put down my hand, my wrist was a little sore, because I had to control the strength, but Lao Xi was already dumbfounded, "I did it yesterday and you remember?" β
"Well, it's okay, it was quite clear, but after a sleep, I forgot half of it." I smacked my lips.
"No, I'll do it again." Lao Xi glared, "This is a set of carving methods that I created myself according to the way of refining qi, I created this carving technique for five years, and you learned it after reading it once?" β
"I haven't learned it yet, but I just memorize the general flow direction of your technique and the angle of your swing." I said seriously: "After all, I have relied on this unforgettable brain since I was a child to keep my grades good." β
"You don't forget it," Old West cried out as he grabbed me by the shoulder, "and you're copy-pasting." β
I probably don't have the computer program yet, Lao Xi seems to be starting to get addicted, and he found me a random stone, "Come on, you try this first." "Of course he was reluctant to let me practice.
I touched the stone, broke it hard, well, that's the truth, and chopped it hard with a knife, and chopped off a little lime.
"Eh, little ancestor, this is not how to use it, and then I will break my treasured carving knife," Lao Xi hurriedly stopped me. "You try to control it with your qi."
I nodded understandingly, put my qi in my hand, and then, "Bangββ! "With a single blow, the stone cracked and shattered in half.
"Don't rush, let's take our time." Lao Xi brought me a few more stones. "You control your qi, not only with your qi, but also with your mental energy, concentrate your attention, focus all your attention on this stone, and then let your mental energy connect with the qi that connects to the carving knife. So you'll be in control. β
He breathed a long sigh of relief, concentrated all his attention, and then connected his mental power with his qi, and then carved it little by little according to the carving technique.
"Bang ββ," was carved in half, and then it was broken again. Do it all over again.
"Bang ββ," is still the same, broken, and start again.
At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, a pile of stones was destroyed, and I finally had a work to look at, and I breathed a long sigh of relief from exhaustion. Rubbing my wrist, my arm muscles hurt too.
"Your arms must be relaxed, not relying on your strength to control, but spiritual power, so that you can achieve the purpose of cultivating spiritual power." Lao Xi continued to guide me, "Okay, let's get here today, it's not too early, hurry back, do you want me to send you?" It's not safe at night right now. β
"It's fine." I waved my hand, it's really not safe, so you should not come out.
It's time for the jade market to close, and when I went out, I took out my phone and found that there were more than a dozen misses, and I instantly felt cold and called back, "Hey." β
"Where have you been?" Jiang Wan was very anxious over there.
"I'm in the jade market." I replied timidly, Jiang Wan won't come over to beat me.
"Wait for me in a crowded place. Send me your coordinates later. Jiang Wan said and hung up the phone.
I looked around, there are many people, there is no ah, there is a noodle restaurant opposite is still lit up, I remember that I haven't eaten yet, I simply went in, ordered a bowl of fried noodles, and by the way sent the coordinates to Jiang Wan, there are a lot of people in the store, just to be able to eat while waiting, and don't worry about being unsafe. No matter how capable they are, can they still come here to find me?
Halfway through the fried noodles, a person sat down on the other side, I looked up and swallowed the noodles in my mouth, "You're here." β
Jiang Wan still had the worry in her eyes that had not faded, and when she saw me holding the noodle bowl, she didn't have the heart to get angry, so she reached out and pulled out a tissue to help me wipe the corners of her mouth, "Where did you go?" And he didn't answer the phone. β
"No, yesterday the professor took me to meet a friend of his, who knows how to carve, I was very interested, so I apprenticed, and came to practice today." I sucked the noodles.
"Why are you suddenly interested in jade carving again?" Jiang Wan asked suspiciously, "You like to tell me, I'll buy it for you, why do you need to learn it yourself, it's not safe to be so late." β
I pinched my chopsticks and waved, "It's not about learning jade carving completely, it's mainly because this thing can exercise mental power." β
Jiang Wan thought for a moment and nodded, "Indeed, spiritual power is a relatively vulnerable place, if the enemy attacks and can't find a way to resist, spiritual power really needs to be practiced well." As I know, the Witch Secret is aimed at mental attacks. β
"Uh-huh." I nodded, "That's why I came here to learn, and that master is a hand-carver, and he can carve a thing with just a knife, and his technique is sharp." β
"Oh? So much at stake. Jiang Wan couldn't help but be surprised.
"Uh-huh," I nodded repeatedly, "and, you wouldn't have thought that he was actually my uncle." β
"And this...... Wait, uncle? When Jiang Wan heard this, she was immediately stunned.
I casually took two mouthfuls of rice, "Yes, uncle, it's my grandfather's apprentice." I also only knew, but the first time we met yesterday, he carved a two-headed bird directly to me, and I began to be suspicious, but today he told me, and said that my grandfather asked him to teach me, but you still have to help me check. β
"Okay," Jiang Wan was obligated in this regard.
was eating, and a discordant voice came from a table next to him, "Poof, I thought I was making a martial arts movie, and I was still a master and an apprentice." It's funny. How old are you still playing this. β
I glanced next door, there were four or five people dressed as young people, talking to the woman with curly burgundy hair and big heavy makeup, and when she said this, everyone at her table laughed.
I didn't plan to take care of them, Jiang Wan didn't pay attention to it, but just wiped the corners of my mouth again, "It's not that you can't eat stale things, it's clean outside, don't go home and vomit and diarrhea." β
"Hungry," I want to gnaw on a stone when I'm hungry, whether it's new or not, "I'll talk about it then." β
"It's not you who is uncomfortable?" Jiang Wan couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, let's leave when you're full, and go back and eat again." β
I finally took a bite, and when I checked out, the boss's face darkened after listening to the last two sentences, "Don't worry, young man, the dishes in our store have just arrived in the morning, and the noodles are also freshly rolled." β
Jiang Wan smiled a little embarrassedly, threw down the money, and pulled me out without change.
As soon as I got out of the door, I couldn't laugh, just now the boss's eyes seemed to be about to swallow Jiang Wansheng alive, this guy too, said so in front of others, the seat I sat just behind the boss's ordering table, said that this is all heard?
"Hahahaha, you...... You just laughed at me, and the boss's expression was really, oops, laughing at me. "I was laughing so hard that I crouched on the ground and couldn't breathe.
"Enough laughing, haven't you?" Jiang Wan helplessly stopped me and reached out to pick me up, "Let's go, go home." β
I touched my stomach, I ate a little bit just now, this fried noodles are a bit large, and the taste is also good, I accidentally ate it, "Let's go, I'm a little panicked." β
"Okay," Jiang Wan said helplessly, "just tell me what the hell is going on." β
I answered, to say what's going on, I don't know very well, I can only say that this is a bit of a fantasy that happened, as if someone deliberately arranged the plot, and the person who wrote and directed himself, I guess it's probably my grandfather. But I always felt like my grandfather was staring at me right next to me, and he knew exactly where I was and what I was doing.
slipped away for half an hour, planning to sneak back and drive home, but halfway to talk and laugh with Jiang Wan, he was confused by a burst of screams.
"Ahh As a result, I saw that the people in the noodle restaurant just now were pale with fright, and they didn't dare to move, and they were stupid by the scene in front of them.
