Chapter 123: A Knife, a Book, and a Pen

After coming back, he continued to drink, and at the same time casually looked at the broken book given by the old Taoist priest, and was immediately attracted by the vivid pictures on the broken book, and began to doubt the old Taoist priest's words just now.

So I couldn't help but pick up the bone knife and picked it up.

By nature, Wang Yujue likes the craft of wood carving very much, which may be one of the reasons why he is so painful.

Around each page of the picture, there are detailed notes in small print, although there is not much pen and ink, but for Wang Yujue, who has studied wood carving since childhood, it is easy to understand, and he found that it seems that all the annotations are just right to give himself a hint, so that he can suddenly open his mouth.

Unexpectedly, after starting, he seemed to be enchanted, compared with the pictures on the broken book, carved until dawn in one breath, or his wife called him, he woke up like a dream.

Wang Yujue's wife also knows wood carving skills, and when she saw her man's carving of the basic works, his daughter-in-law was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

In her words, it can no longer be simply described as "like", it has reached the level of expressiveness.

After being reminded by his daughter-in-law, Wang Yujue also carefully looked at the works he had carved all night last night, and was also surprised, and even his first reaction was not to believe that it was carved by himself.

The next thing is out of control.

Wang Yujue did not leave the door, locked himself in the house for more than ten days, and the meals were brought to the door by his daughter-in-law - he was not allowed to enter the house.

Finally, he carved out all the patterns on the broken book, and when he washed his face and looked in the mirror, he saw himself with a scruffy beard in the mirror, and he was a little afraid to recognize it.

People in the village can also remember that it was from a year ago that Wang Yujue changed from an unknown small wood carver to the most famous carving master within a radius of 100 miles.

Wang Yujue found a very strange thing, that is, only with the bone handle carved knife given by the Taoist priest, the carved work can reach the level of expressiveness, and if you change any other carving knife, no matter how serious you carve, you can't carve such a good work, and there is no feeling of "the knife is like a god".

Only then did he realize that the old Taoist priest had given him a magic knife.

The spring breeze is proud, and the country is carved with a knife.

At the end of last year, a boss booked the wood carving works of the zodiac, Wang Yujue happened to have nothing else to do in those days, so he completed the work in advance, looking at his vivid wood carving works, Wang Yujue was satisfied, but after seeing the eyes of the work, he had an idea.

It's really curiosity that kills the cat, Wang Yujue remembered another sentence of the old Taoist priest, so he took out the small brush engraved with "dot painting into fine", and painted the eyes of the "Hai Pig" in the zodiac with black paint.

After painting the eyeballs, the wood carved pig is more expressive, as if it could jump off it at any moment.

Fortunately, at this time, he was in a bit of a hurry, so he casually put down the brush and did not give other animals an eyeball.

When he came back in the afternoon, he was about to call the boss who had booked the wood carving and ask him when he would come to pick it up.

The phone was picked up, but he swept to see that the twelve works he had placed on the shelf were missing one.

I went through it carefully with my eyes, and the few happened to be pigs who were eyeballed by myself.

At this time, he didn't think much about it, thinking that it must have been his wife or children who took it, so he hurriedly ran to ask them, but his wife and children all said that they had not touched his things, and they were sure that no outsiders had come to the house all morning.

At this time, Wang Yujue's wood carving works were in short supply, and he thought that someone must be worried about him, so he stole them while he was not at home.

So I quickly selected the wood, re-carved a "Hai pig", and at the same time let people install monitoring.

The next morning, Wang Yujue's daughter-in-law heard that several people in the village were injured by a pig, and everyone wondered that although Yunmen Village was located at the foot of the mountain, it had not seen wild boars for many years.

After Wang Yujue heard the news, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind: the pig he carved was gone, and it happened that there was an inexplicable wild boar in the village, is there anything related to these two things?

So he hurriedly put on his coat and ran to the village branch compound.

The boar was tied up, still humming and struggling.

The neighbors all watched the wild boar from afar, and the discussion came and went.

Some say they have never seen such pigs.

Some people say it's like an "animated boar" from a cartoon.

Others say that it may be an experiment that escaped from an experiment.

Wang Yujue couldn't help but go around to the front of the wild boar with curiosity, and after just one glance, he trembled.

How is this wild boar in front of you exactly the same as the one you carved?

Don't......

Thinking that it was after the wild boar carved by himself was lost, this pig appeared in the village, how could it be such a coincidence!

He carefully recalled the old Taoist's advice, and he was even more shocked to sweat.

Could it be that the old Taoist priest is an immortal? Giving yourself a carving knife and a paintbrush are extraordinary? The story of the miraculous pen Ma Liang came to mind.

When he got home, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the excitement was mixed with a little fear, so he came up with another idea, and when his wife and children had fallen asleep in the middle of the night, he picked up the seemingly extremely ordinary brush again and painted the eyes of a chicken.

Then he closed all the doors and windows, and went back to the bedroom with a thud.

I wanted to sleep, but where could I sleep, so I tossed and turned until dawn.

As soon as he was in his early five o'clock, he couldn't help tiptoeing open the door of the carving room, and at the moment the door was opened, he saw a big rooster standing on the table, and when he saw him open the door, he flew directly to his head.

After this incident passed, for more than a month, Wang Yujue did not dare to touch this brush.

I am really afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, this year, the people who asked him to do wood carving have been discharged for several months, and the price has also risen, from dozens of yuan at the beginning to hundreds of yuan, and then to tens of thousands of yuan now.

One night about a month ago, the daughter-in-law and the child went back to their parents' house, Wang Yujue was drinking at home alone, and when he was slightly drunk, he heard a few laughs from the door, and he raised his head to see a familiar and unfamiliar face.

Fluffy messy hair, a wrinkled face like a purple eggplant, a half-missing yellow tooth, a rickety and emaciated body, and shabby clothes.

In the past year, Wang Yujue has dreamed of this face no less than a dozen times.

It was the immortal Taoist priest who gave him a book, a knife, and a pen a year ago.

This is a life-saving benefactor's rebirth parents!

Wang Yujue hurriedly greeted him and bowed deeply three times.

The old Taoist priest took out a few more dirty pieces of paper and said that he should make some wood carvings according to the pictures.

Wang Yujue had already decided that this Taoist priest was absolutely extraordinary, and he came back to test him, so he nodded in agreement, and patted his chest to promise that he would definitely make a work that satisfied him.

After Lao Dao left, he opened the papers, and when he saw the strange patterns on them, he was also stunned.
