Chapter 2 The Wood Carver

When the morning came, the sky was dark, and the boy got up silently, and after a simple wash, he looked at the small room next door.

"Dad must still be sleeping at this time. "This young man is naturally Yang Cheng.

Since Yang Ming and the village chief talked about the knowledge of the Force some time ago, Yang Cheng has been looking for Yang Ming, for this young man who is thirsty for the Force, Yang Ming is also very helpless, so he has to give all his hearsay knowledge to Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng feels that Yang Ming is going to cross the green mountains and make transactions with others, so he is naturally well-informed. It's a pity that Yang Ming is not an original teacher.

"Counting the days, the wood has almost been processed into the shape that my father wanted, and it seems that it is about to be carved, and if it is appreciated by the mayor, he may be able to become an authentic original master. ”

The boy thought to himself. At this time, Yang Cheng suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder, turned around, and found his father standing behind him with a smile. Yang Cheng retracted his thoughts and asked, "Dad, early." ”

And Yang Dao's next sentence made Yang Cheng stunned.

"You will carve the wood that you brought today. Seeing that his son was stunned, Yang Dao continued:

"I'll stand by and guide you, after all, it's not the first time you've carved furniture twice. ”

"However, this is the furniture that will be sent to the mayor's brother, so I should let my father do it, in case I mess up..."Yang Cheng hurriedly replied.

Yang Dao interrupted: "Cheng'er, you must know that there are some things that you must learn to face alone, not everything, someone will help you." After a pause, he said: "I will carefully teach you the wood delivered today, and I will teach you those patterns and carving methods before, and I may be able to help you." ”

Seeing that his father was not in a hurry, Yang Cheng gradually relaxed his heart, just like his father said, it was not the first time he carved wood, and there were many wood carvings that were sold in the market, many of which were from the hands of this little boy.

It's just that what this naïve little guy doesn't know is that the profession of carving wood coincides with an extremely noble profession on the mainland, and this profession is the ---- carving array master.

In the afternoon, the sun begins to shine brightly, and the temperature gets higher and higher with the time of day. About five villagers came to the open space in front of Yang Cheng's house with those rough furniture, among them, there was an old acquaintance Yang Ming, Yang Dao nodded, and after the inspection, he thanked him.

Yang Ming said: "Brother Dao, a lot of wood you carved has some magical effects, the wooden bed carved for my family last time, I slept very well every night, maybe because of the wood." Later, Yang Ming reminded him again of the importance of this batch of wood, and he and the villagers did not stay long before turning and leaving.

Yang Dao looked at the wood with a general appearance, and said to his son, "Cheng'er, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Without waiting for Yang Cheng to answer, Yang Dao looked down and said: "This piece of wood is flat, it can be used as a table, and you can put things in the table for eating." Today I'm going to teach you some simple carving formations and how to add a thermal insulation effect to this table. ”

The carved table still has the effect of keeping warm? Yang Cheng looked at his father suspiciously.

seemed to see Yang Cheng's doubts, and said: "The pattern I carved is very special, in fact, it is called the pattern, it is better to call him the formation, the wooden bed I gave Yang Ming carved last time was a formation that can promote sleep, and this time, I will teach you this." And the formation, not only wood carving, can also be used in other aspects, the insulated formation carving such as the table, in the cold weather, you can also eat hot meals. ”

"Then if you carve the thermal insulation formation into your clothes, will you be able to keep warm?" Yang Cheng raised his head and asked, "No wonder I only wear two clothes in winter, it turned out that my father did it." ”

"That's right, you're very smart, and this time, I'll give you the formation drawings, you first carve the simplest thermal insulation formation, and then teach you how to carve a sleep-promoting formation on the bed. ”

"If you get some destructive formations to armor or weapons, with the use of the Force, this person's combat effectiveness will increase far higher, and this is where the advantage of the carver array is, and the current carved wood is just to lay the foundation for you. Yang Cheng didn't tell Yang Cheng this sentence, but it just sounded in his heart.

Yang Cheng is also not nonsense, since his father asked him to do this, there are naturally his reasons.

Yang Cheng found a piece of wood with the prototype of a table, spread out the insulation formation handed by his father, and began to carve with concentration.

At first, according to the drawing of the needle method, Yang Cheng held the carving knife in his hand tightly, and the sinuous carvings were scattered on the table like a labyrinth.

Looking at Yang Cheng's engrossed engrossion in carving, Yang Dao nodded secretly, although the technique was a little rude, but for a child who was only seven years old, it was not easy.

"And carving these formations, although it is not difficult, but there is still a great chance of failure, if as long as there is a stroke that is not bent to a certain angle, a certain painting is painted a little more, in that way, the formation will be abandoned. ”

Yang Cheng held the carving knife tightly, for the stroke is extremely serious, for the carved wood, the carving of the wrong stroke, it means the failure of the carved wood, if it is forcibly covered or disguised, it will be more messy.

Suddenly, Yang Dao's eyes flashed, and he retracted his thoughts. Look closely, in the center of the desktop, an oval-shaped formation appeared in front of you, this formation exudes a little white luster under the sunlight, and then look at the little guy who has completed the second formation, he is already sitting on the ground, sweating profusely, grinning at his father.

"Cheng'er, well done" Yang Dao did not hesitate to praise himself, "Although this is the simplest formation, it is not easy for you to succeed the first time." Later, there will be more complex but powerful formations. ”

Yang Cheng was also happy when he saw his father praising him.

"This so-called thermal insulation formation, although it is the simplest formation, but in the carving process is very complicated, but usually my father asked me to carve some patterns, for this is also a test of carving means, it is also a bit similar, so this is successful. ”

Seeing that Yang Cheng seemed to be a little adult, he couldn't help but smile. Then he knew that for him, this was just the beginning.

"The most troublesome has been carved by you, then carve some patterns around it for decoration, these should not be a problem, you usually carve quite a lot, and those people, the requirements for beauty are also quite high, prepare it." Yang Daodao.

I saw that Yang Cheng gradually carved a pattern similar to a phoenix near the formation, and then carved a flower and a branch, and this phoenix is just like Yang Dao said, the most complex array has been carved, and the carvings used to decorate are not so difficult for Yang Cheng. And those carved carvings spread outward on the basis of the formation, and gradually, the slightly abrupt formation that was originally on the table looked plain under the continuation of the surrounding patterns.

"Compared with the formation, those patterns are really simple", looking at the basically formed table, Yang Cheng also wiped the sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this seemingly simple pattern formation is not easy to complete.

And next, to carve a more complex and refined formation on the bed, for Yang Cheng, who had just concentrated, the consumption was really a bit big.

"I see that you are already very skilled in carving patterns, and you usually practice a lot. ”

Yang Dao nodded, "And for you, the carving formation, but it is relatively reluctant, usually practice less, just that thermal insulation formation, is only the most basic one, with your usual carving wood carving or more, but also forcibly carved out of this formation for you, in addition, the difference in the quality of the carving determines the difference in the effectiveness of the formation, like the thermal insulation formation you carved, the technique is very rough, next, this hypnotic formation, by me to carve, you stand next to me to copy and learn, it is of great help to you." ”

With his father's action, Yang Cheng retracted his thoughts and began to carefully observe his father's strokes.

Yang Dao picked up the carving knife placed on the table, Yang Cheng felt that the moment Yang Dao got the carving knife, his momentum instantly increased a lot, and he slowly walked towards the rudimentary wood of the bed step by step.

"First of all, draw a formation, be calm. Yang Dao held the carving knife, it seemed that this knife was integrated with it, for Yang Dao, this formation with hypnotic effect has been established in his chest, there is no sense of rustiness, and he can easily carve it without looking at the drawings, and he will show the process to his son this time, so he also slowed down.

Even so, Yang Cheng still opened his eyes wide and began to watch the movements of Yang Dao's knife technique. He knew that there was still a lot to learn for him at a young age.

"It is necessary to put mental power into it in an all-round way, so as to improve the success rate. I saw Yang Daosheng moving with the pen, step by step.

"You have to have a feeling, it feels like you're part of it, you have to feel the flow of the formation, you have to feel the strokes of the formation, you have to feel how the formation is formed, you have to feel the energy fluctuations contained in the formation, in short, you have to learn to go - understand it"

In Yang Cheng's exclamation.

The carving knife is in Yang Dao's hand, just like his fingers are controlled easily, and the more complex and delicate lines than the patterns carved by Yang Cheng just now began to gradually form, these lines are intricate, repeatedly staggered, and look messy, but if you look closely, they are clearly layered. The sinuous lines are like loaches moving on this wood every day.

Yang Cheng felt that although this formation was very complicated, the energy in it and the effect when the carving was completed were definitely greater than what he had carved just now.

Compared with Yang Dao's error without a single stroke, the formation that he had just carved by himself was much lower in terms of efficacy than the one that had no error at all.

However, even if it is Yang Dao, there is no trace of slackness, and the carving array is a complement of patience and carefulness, and it must not be rushed to the sky in one step, and Yang Cheng also understands this very well. And the formation was also gradually formed under Yang Dao's skillful techniques.

Suddenly, Yang Dao's pen turned and connected the two inscriptions together, and these two engravings, one is where the carving began just now, and the other is where it ends now.

The head and tail are connected, and the formation is formed. The lines in this formation suddenly emitted a white light, the white light was not dazzling, but it was still impossible to look at directly, and after about three seconds, the light gradually disappeared.

At a glance, a formation showing the word "work" appeared in Yang Cheng's eyes, and some of the lines flashed with broken white light, and after a while, the white light slowly disappeared, and a simple and mysterious formation appeared in front of Yang Cheng.

Yang Dao saw that Yang Cheng did not speak, but just quietly observed the mystery of this formation, smiled slightly, and began to carve the nearby patterns used for decoration, these lines, in Yang Dao's hands, with the formation as the center, gradually began to expand to the surroundings.

Compared with the formation, these decorative patterns have no skills at all, and for Yang Cheng, although they are not as easy as Yang Dao, there is no problem in completing them easily.

But what really made Yang Cheng care was his father's words when carving just now and the changing attributes of the formation.

"When the formation is completed, there will be a special hint". While speaking, Yang Dao did not raise his head, his hands did not stop, and he continued to outline the gorgeous wood grain.

"Dad mean the white light emitted by that formation just now?" Yang Cheng was not stupid, and felt the difference between the shoddy formation he carved and his father's formation.

"That's right, that is, the light of the formation. The so-called light of the formation, as the name suggests, is the light emitted by the formation, and you have just seen it, when the head of the formation is the place where you start carving, and the tail, that is, the place where the last stroke is completed. End to end to form a whole, at this time, the formation is fully completed.

The energy contained in the formation is also completely integrated and emitted outward, which is why the light of the formation is emitted when it is finally completed.

And the formation that emits white light, called the Pu Formation, is just the most ordinary formation, which can be seen almost everywhere in the world we are in, such as this simple hypnotic formation, and the White Light Pu Formation, will be divided into many formations, just like Yang Ming introduced to you the level of the original master before, the same is true for the formation, the higher it is, the stronger it is. ”

Yang Dao raised his head at this time and introduced to Yang Cheng that the sun was gradually setting, and in front of the hut, the shadows of the two were getting longer and longer under the light of the setting sun.

"The strength of the formation is analyzed by the light emitted, and the Pu array emits white light. The best way to judge the difference between the two is to look at the light emitted, the brocade array, the emitted is not white light, but blue light, generally known as the blue light brocade array, the effect of the blue light brocade array and the white light pu array is too different, of course, for the person who carves it, the difficulty is also greatly increased.

The name of the formation ranked above the blue light brocade array is called the purple radiance array, and the light emitted by the glow formation is also different from the previous two, emitting purple light. The purple glow array is relatively rare, and generally those who can have the design drawings of its formation are some powerful families and other powerful people, and it is even more difficult to have the products where the purple glow array is located. ”

Yang Dao smiled, stopped the carving knife in his hand, and continued.

"And above the purple light array, there is a dazzling array of golden light. The Yao Array is a rarer existence than the Purple Radiance Array, and it is said that this formation flows with golden light, like the flowing water of essence, and has an extremely powerful effect and is extremely powerful. As far as I know, the Jinguang Yao array carved drawings are like a rarity in this world, to have this kind of formation, it is very rare, and it is not too much to describe it with a rare angle, whether it is a formation drawing or an item with a formation of this level, if it is not strong or wealthy, ordinary people or weak people get this thing, they will usher in the disaster of killing, especially the drawings of the formation, countless people will covet this thing.

However, what can be more powerful than the Golden Light Yao Array is a formation that appears in legends. ”

"This array, called holy, the world calls it, the holy array, just like the formation mentioned before, will also emit light, but the light it emits is extremely special.

The Colored Light Holy Array, the world calls it that, this kind of formation, no one has seen it so far, it is just passed down by the elders word by word, and it is based on examples. It can only be through our imagination, and as for the drawings, there are no clues, let alone the items of the Rainbow Light Array. ”

For Yang Cheng, his cognitive ability is limited, and the Golden Light Yao Array and the Colored Light Holy Array are just distant things, and the Shi Bai Guang Pu Array that he is curious about now is because this is the goal he can strive for now.

"Dad, how do you change between white light and blue light?" asked Yang Cheng.

"Each formation has almost ten levels, the thermal insulation formation you carved just now is almost a two-level white light pu array, and what I carved is almost an eighth-level white light pu array. This is the difference between the formations, and it is also the difference in the effectiveness of the formations, and at the same time, this is also the display of the level of judgment. Yang Dao replied, and then he said:

"You have also seen my carving process just now, I hope you can remember it well, and be able to use it, from tomorrow, all the formations will be carved by you, and I have the drawings, which also contain some white light pu formations from level three to six, and those wood grains and decorations, just leave them to me." All you have to do is carve the formation, and it will be of great benefit to you.

In addition, I know that you doubt that you can successfully complete the rest of the wood carving, so I asked Yang Ming to bring some extra wood, don't worry, don't doubt yourself, don't worry about bold carving, this is also a kind of exercise for you. ”

Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and nodded, it seems that his father is going to start training him strictly, but after a while, Yang Cheng also bent the corners of his mouth, but he is not afraid, he likes to challenge, although this is a very difficult thing.

"If the carving array becomes stronger, I can't say that the road of the original master will be smoother in the future, our village is so small, I really want to go to the outside world to see. Looking at the fading slanting light, Yang Cheng clenched his fists.
