Chapter 4: Lettering on the Stone!
Tang Lin looked at him expectantly.
"This has a blade. Xiao Ash took out a black blade from behind a stone, and said: "You use it every day, engrave words on the stone, and the font should be based on the ancient seal as a sample. ”
Tang Lin bent down to pick up this ordinary piece of iron, and said in surprise: "Use it to engrave words on the stone, you can exercise your finger power?"
"Hmm. Xiao Ash said undoubtedly: "Let's start now, today must be engraved with ten complete words before resting is allowed, and two more will be added every day in the future!"
"Ten!" Tang Lin was stunned, if he just used a brush to write, ten thousand words would be fine, but with this small piece of iron in his hand, he carved words on a hard stone, let alone ten, it was a problem to carve one.
"Do you find it difficult?" Ash looked at him indifferently.
Tang Lin nodded, then grinned, "Although it's difficult, but I'll do my best, my father said, where there is a will, there is a way!"
"Let's get started. Ash said with satisfaction.
Tang Lin picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground next to him, put it on his lap, clenched the blade with his left hand, and carved it fiercely on the stone.
Click~~
The sharp blade carved a faint white mark on the stone, and the strength in Tang Lin's hand was increased to the maximum, and a shallow horizontal bar was soon carved.
The fine white stone powder fell on his body, Tang Lin didn't care, he was still concentrating on carving, and a few minutes passed-
"It's carved!" Tang Lin exhaled lightly and looked at the word "Tang" on the stone.
Xiao Ash leaned over to take a look, nodded and said: "The carving is good, although the handwriting is a little ugly, but it is quite complete, but the carving is too shallow, and it needs to be deepened three times!"
"Too shallow?" Tang Lin looked down at the handwriting on the stone, indeed, although it was a little hard to engrave just now, he didn't spend too much effort, what kind of exercise can he exercise his fingers with the ten characters carved out like this?
Triple is triple as much!
Tang Lin continued to devote himself to it.
Xiao Ash nodded secretly, the number of strokes of each word was different, although he did not indicate which character to depict, but he was still relieved to see that Tang Lin had chosen the word with cumbersome strokes.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on this forest.
Tang Lin was bathed in the warm sunset, not disturbed by the passage of time at all, still concentrating on carving the stone, and at this moment there were already four more words on it.
Tang Lin!
"My hands are so sore. Tang Lin felt that his wrist was so sore that he was about to lose consciousness, and he kept lowering his head to carve words, and his neck was also sore, he shook his hand and stopped to rest.
"Don't be lazy, keep going!" said Ash sternly.
Tang Lin smiled bitterly, looking at the warm sunset in the distance, suddenly his father's lonely cheeks, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth fiercely, and carved hard again.
When night fell, Tang Lin went to the kitchen to finish his meal quickly, and brought some leftovers for Xiao Ash to eat, and then picked up the stone and continued to carve it.
One stroke, one stroke!
Tang Lin seemed to have a ruthlessness in his bones, gritted his teeth, and kept carving, where his fingers held the blade, the blisters had been rubbed, and soon the blisters were also worn out, and water vapor flowed out.
Xiao Ash didn't expect Tang Lin to work so hard, he originally thought that he would shout hard and tired, and even give up halfway, he thought of a way to coax Tang Lin, but he didn't expect that Tang Lin had never said a bitter word to him until now!
"Hard work is the most important step to become a strong person. Xiao Ash said secretly in his heart: "But talent is also indispensable, but it's a pity that you are not born with a dual-minded genius, otherwise you will definitely have great achievements in runes." However, if you continue to practice like this, you still have the hope of becoming an excellent demon suppressor in the future, at least your attainments in talismans will not be too bad. ”
The night is deep, and the moonlight is cold.
Tang Lin took the stone back to the house and continued to carve it until after the early hours of the morning, when he finished carving all ten characters.
"Whew!" Tang Lin let out a sigh, twisted his neck, and made a "click" sound of bones, "It's finally carved, and my neck and hands are sore." ”
Tang Lin had never suffered so much.
However, he could feel the progress of today, although his fingers were worn out and there was a faint pain, but the strength of his wrists seemed to have increased a lot.
And most importantly......
"After exercising for so long, I didn't even pass out. Tang Lin's eyes lit up, when he used to exercise, he always fainted, but today he is safe and sound.
"Not bad. Xiao Ash looked at the stone engraved with handwriting, and said, "Rest today, continue tomorrow, and tomorrow will be engraved with twelve words." ”
"Tube a dozen. Tang Lin didn't have the strength, so he went directly to the bed, "That's tomorrow, let's sleep first." ”
The little gray was dumbfounded, and in the end he could only smile bitterly, and didn't say anything more, Tang Lin was only twelve years old after all, and he carved out ten words today, and he was really tired, not only his fingers, but also his body and mind. When carving handwriting, people will subconsciously concentrate their mental energy, so even if the body is not tired, the brain will be tired.
"Sleep. Xiao Ash waved his paws and picked up the quilt to help Tang Lin cover it.
......
The next day, Tang Lin came to the academy, his fingers still had not recovered, he was faintly aching, and he was trembling a little when he held the pen, which was due to too much strength overdraft yesterday.
Thinking of the twelve words after going home today, Tang Lin felt a little powerless, and he realized that the real difficulty was not the first day of exercise, but the next few days, his body could not adapt, and there would be various thoughts of collapse, giving up, and retreating.
The difficulty is to overcome these thoughts and bravely persevere.
Ten days later.
In the grove next to Wolong Pond, Tang Lin's little hand held the blade and worked hard to carve, after ten days of training, now the number of words he carved is as high as twenty-eight!
After five or six days, he gradually got used to the fatigue of practicing finger power every day, and although he still feels struggling, he will not give birth to these thoughts of giving up and being lazy.
After so many days of exercise, Tang Lin can clearly feel the growth of his finger power, holding the pen as if there is no weight, calligraphy has grown greatly, and the handwriting is like flowing water, chic and freehand, without any delay.
When it's productive, it's motivating.
Tang Lin is now very diligent in exercising every day.
"I didn't expect you to progress so quickly. Xiao Ash watched Tang Lin engrave the twenty-eighth word, the handwriting was neat and elegant, not crooked at all, and couldn't help nodding, "Now, your finger strength is already about a young man, starting tomorrow, when exercising your finger strength, you will also exercise your arm strength!"
"Arm strength?" Tang Lin's eyes lit up.
"When your arm strength and finger strength are five times that of an adult, you can start carving the talisman. Xiao Ash glanced at the moonlight, "It's not early today, let's rest first, tomorrow's workout will be much more difficult." ”
"Five times an adult?" Tang Lin was full of anticipation.
After ten days of painful exercise, although he felt like he was in hell, and he was almost so tired that he cried several times, when he heard Xiao Ash say that his finger strength reached the level of a young man, his heart couldn't help but feel hot.
The strength of his own fingers is even comparable to that of an ordinary young man!
Exercising arm strength?
I'm really looking forward to it!
......
After returning from the academy the next day, Tang Lin knew how to exercise his arm strength, he listened to Xiao Ash's instructions, and found four small sandbags in the martial arts hall, each weighing about five catties, tied the two sandbags together, and picked up his arms like a flat burden.
Ten pounds per hand!
"You have to stand and engrave, ten a day, the same as before, two more a day!" Xiao Ash looked at the sandbags in Tang Lin's hands, "This sandbag hangs on your hands, your mind is completely focused on the lettering, and your arm strength will increase invisibly, and the effect is better than doing push-ups." ”
"Definitely. Tang Lin thought about it carefully and felt that this was the case.
Although doing push-ups is a kind of exercise, if you concentrate your mental energy on it, you will feel tired, and your arms themselves will be sore, and you need to rest frequently.
And by hanging the sandbag directly on your arm and focusing on something else, your body will automatically adapt to the weight.
Adaptation is a human instinct.
Moreover, this method, which does not require strenuous activity, is the only way to train a person like him, who is precedently weak in blood.
Immediately, Tang Lin took Xiao Ash through the grove and saw a straight arch bridge, there was a rockery on the west side of the bridge, in front of this rockery was a pool about three zhang large, the pool water was clear, bottomless, and there were a few lotus leaves floating on it.
This treasure land, which was originally known as the Earthquake Dragon Elephant City, has now become an ordinary pool.
Tang Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
