Yan Jing immediately rushed forward, came to the tree hole, and took out the wood carving in the ancient tree hole.

It is a wood carving of a tanuki cat, which is only the size of a palm and can be easily held in the hand.

"What's so strange about this wood carving?"

A red-haired girl behind Yan Jing wondered.

Yan Jing didn't answer, just stared at the wood carving in his hand, his eyes lit up, and he was amazed.

"What a wood carving! I've never seen such a vivid wood carving in my life!"

Yan Jing was amazed, threw the wood carving to the red-haired girl, and said.

"Little Sister Shuang'er, take a closer look, do you see anything strange!"

Yan Shuang'er took the wood carving, looked at it carefully, and her eyes immediately straightened, and she also found a wonderful place.

This cat is as if it is alive, not only the pair of eyes are bright, but the whole body is full of charm, as if it can jump up at any time.

If it weren't for the fact that the cat was made of wood, they would have thought it was a real cat.

"Oh my God!" Yan Shuang'er sighed.

"I don't know which master made such an ingenious treasure, and even I, who doesn't like wood carving, can't put it down. Yan Shuang'er was amazed, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

"It seems that our Tianyan Empire still has some folk masters!" Yan Jing said.

He couldn't help but think that Examiner Chen Wuxian didn't just like this kind of wood carving? If he offered it, Chen Wuxian was overjoyed, and let him go through the back door and let him get the top three, that would be wonderful.

The top three in the assessment can join the inner gate of the Sword Sect, and the reward can make anyone blush.

He had never been interested in this kind of thing, and a layman liked it like this, so it could be seen that an old connoisseur like Chen Wuxian would definitely be ecstatic.

"Now immediately go back and order that the wood carvers of the whole country be summoned to the imperial city to find out the author of this thing!" Yan Jing made up his mind.

"Meow !!"

Suddenly, an angry cat meow was heard in the distance.

Yan Jing turned his head to look, only to see the hair on the body of a tanuki cat explode, rushing up angrily and rushing towards the wooden carving in Yan Shuang'er's hand.

"Humph!"

Yan Jing snorted coldly, raised his hand and sucked it in the air, sucking the tanuki cat in his hand.

The tanuki cat struggled angrily, stretched out its claws and kept scratching, but to no avail, its eyes looked straight at the wood carving in Yan Shuang'er's hand, and there was human anger in its eyes.

"Yo, I can't imagine that the wood carving looks the same as this cat! This wood carving is your treasure?"

Yan Jing looked at the cat in his hand, the strength in his hand gradually increased, and the tanuki kept struggling.

"I'm sorry, but I took this treasure!"

Yan Jing suddenly exerted force, ready to pinch the cat to death.

"Stop!"

Yan Shuang'er suddenly shouted.

Yan Jing felt strange in his heart, slightly loosened his hand, and asked, "What are you doing?" I'm just killing a cat. ”

"Are you crazy? This cat probably knows the origin of the wood carving, you kill it, where are we going to find the master?" Yan Shuang'er scolded.

Yan Jing thought about it carefully, and there was really some truth, this wood carving must have been carved by the master with this raccoon flower as a reference, maybe this raccoon flower knew who the master was.

Thinking of this, his hand was released, and the tanuki cat hurriedly jumped out, trying to escape.

But before he could take two steps, he was stepped on by Yan Jing's tail.

"Tell me, who made this wood carving?"

Yan Jing squatted down and asked.

The raccoon flower turned around with a claw, grabbed Yan Jing's face, and was dodged by Yan Jing.

"Yo! still dare to resist, believe it or not, I will rip off your skin and beat you to beg for mercy?" Yan Jing was furious on the spot and took out a dagger.

Who knows, the tanuki resisted more and more violently, and let out angry screams, eager to scratch the ground.

Yan Jing was about to use force, but was stopped by Yan Shuang'er.

"Get out of the way, let me come!"

I saw Yan Shuang'er walk over, gently stroke the raccoon flower, and take out a grilled fish.

"Kitten, tell me, who carved this wood carving, can you take us there?" Yan Shuang'er said with a smile, her voice full of temptation.

The tanuki cat looked at the grilled fish with a greedy expression, but the anger in her heart still did not disappear, and she ignored her.

"As long as you take me, these treasures are all yours!"

Yan Shuang'er took out spirit stones, all kinds of exquisite ingredients, and toys such as ball of yarn.

The tanuki's eyes straightened, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded her head.

"Look! This cat eats soft, not hard. Yan Shuang'er smiled.

"Humph!"

Yan Jing snorted coldly, very unconvinced.

............

Lin Hao stood in the wood carving shop, holding a piece of wood in his hand, and began to carve day after day.

This time, he carved a person, Wang Yang, the son of the old blacksmith, and it was also the second human he carved.

Once Wang Yang is selected by the Sword Sect, he may not come back, so he should be treated as a gift.

At this time, a group of people came from a distance and came to the door of the wood carving shop.

This group of people was mainly a man and a woman, plus a group of guards, led by very young men and women, about in their early twenties, dressed luxuriously, with an extraordinary bearing, presumably princes and nobles.

The tanuki cat walked ahead of them, presumably the cat who brought them over.

When Yan Jing saw Lin Hao, his eyes immediately lit up, and his divine sense scanned it, and he couldn't help but show a strange look.

"How is it a waste?"

Yan Jing looked suspicious, he would never be a waste person if he could carve such a wood carving, but why didn't he feel a little bit of true yuan fluctuations, and he didn't even have a little bit of strong momentum?

Even if he can't see through Lin Hao's strength, there should always be a faint sense of oppression.

"Your Excellency ......"

Yan Jing was about to ask, but was interrupted by Yan Shuang'er beside him.

Yan Shuang'er grabbed him and lowered her voice, "Didn't you see him carving, it wouldn't be good if you interrupted him and provoked him!"

"That's right. Yan Jing nodded suddenly.

So, the two retreated to the opposite side of the wood carving shop, sat down at the door of the blacksmith shop, and the two of them and those guards quietly watched Lin Hao's carving.

Lin Hao had already discovered them, but he didn't bother to pay attention to them, he was immersed in the carving wholeheartedly.

Gradually, the woodcarving in his hand appeared with a humanoid silhouette, and Lin Hao's movements were as slow as ever, not impatient, and meticulous.

It was getting dark.

The old blacksmith saw that there were so many strong people coming to the door, and he was still wearing the service of the royal family, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly went outside to pull Wang Yang back, and shrank in the blacksmith shop and sat still.

Fortunately, this group of people didn't seem to have malicious intentions, but just watched Lin Hao's carving, which made Wang Yang's father and son confused.

Lin Hao carved very slowly, but Yan Jing and Yan Shuang'er were completely immersed in it, and even their minds were about to be hooked.

They had never seen such a perfect carving, and compared to Lin Hao, those refiners in the palace were all scum!
