Surrounded by deep ancient bamboos, all over the ground, the breeze blows the bamboo leaves, and the sound of rustling is heard.

Fang Tianchen walked into the bamboo forest and walked on a path completely paved with cobblestones, but he didn't see the so-called pavilions.

The trail is very long, Fang Tianchen has been walking slowly, and the surrounding bamboos are becoming more and more dense.

Half an hour later, a peaceful scene came into Fang Tianchen's eyes.

It was a place completely surrounded by bamboo, and a bamboo house stood there, and a small stream seemed to be dug out by hand, surrounding the bamboo house, and inside the stream, there was a bluestone platform and four bluestone benches outside the bamboo house.

Like a small bridge flowing water, this scene was simple, but it made Fang Tianchen's restless heart because of the hurry also quieted down at the same time!

Fang Tianchen stepped forward slowly, walked onto the small bamboo bridge, under the bridge, the stream was gurgling, which was refreshing.

"I really don't know who lives here!" Fang Tianchen was puzzled, and went straight to the door of the bamboo house.

"Is anyone there?" Fang Tianchen shouted softly, his voice echoing in the bamboo forest.

No one answered after half a ring.

Fang Tianchen knocked lightly, but found that the bamboo door had been pushed open.

"Isn't there a lock?"

With doubts, Fang Tianchen also stepped into the bamboo house.

The bamboo house was not big, but the sight that caught the eye made Fang Tianchen's heart shock.

In this small bamboo house, there is a simple bamboo bed, surrounded by four rows of shelves nearly two meters long, on that shelf. There are 10 layers of latticework, and each lattice is filled with carvings of different shapes!

"Shhh...... This is ......" Fang Tianchen didn't rashly reach out to touch it, but just got closer to watch.

It is a horse carved out of wood. It was vivid, but what Fang Tianchen saw was not the horse, but the horse was obviously standing, but it made Fang Tianchen feel that the horse seemed to be able to gallop away at any time!!

Fang Tianchen rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken, this was indeed a standing horse with its head held high! The feeling of a galloping horse comes to mind.

"How could this be!" Fang Tianchen was horrified, and hurriedly looked at the carving behind him.

The shelves behind him are also displayed with dozens of carvings.

Fang Tianchen's eyes were staring at a fish that had been carved out!

It was a lying flat with its head raised and its mouth facing up. Fish with their tails downwards seem to be breathing on the surface, it's simple!

It's just that the next moment, Fang Tianchen's brain was shocked again.

"How could it be ......?"

In Fang Tianchen's view. The fish that used to be simply floating and breathing. At this moment, it seems that he has jumped out of the water, to find the self that does not belong in the water, to find the self that leaps over the dragon gate!

On the left, there was a small wolf-shaped carving, only to see the ordinary wolf standing there, but Fang Tianchen felt that when this wolf stared at Fang Tianchen, there was a feeling of panic, and there seemed to be a trace of bloodlust in the eyes of that pair of wolves. It's like a ghostly light after seeing your prey.

At the head of the bed, a carved dragon. The form is mighty and domineering.

However, the next moment, Fang Tianchen's feet trembled slightly.

It seemed that the giant dragon was looking at Fang Tianchen with a downward gaze, and the dragon roar resounded in the depths of Fang Tianchen's mind, like the majesty of the supreme sacred thing in heaven and earth was inviolable!

"What the hell......"

Fang Tianchen hurriedly withdrew from the bamboo house, and his heart slowly calmed down.

It's just that when Fang Tianchen's heart had just calmed down, the scene of turning around instantly made Fang Tianchen almost frightened.

The old man with white hair and white robe was standing on the small bamboo bridge at the moment, with some feed in his hand, and was throwing it into the stream below, as if he was feeding the fish.

Seeing this, Fang Tianchen hurriedly went up, and was about to speak but was stopped by the old man.

"Shh......h

The old man sighed lightly, and Fang Tianchen also stood still in place for an instant.

It didn't take long, and after half a ring, the old man seemed to have just finished throwing away the feed in his hand and turned his head to look at Fang Tianchen, but when his eyes caught a glimpse of the bronze wine jug hanging from Fang Tianchen's waist, there was a faint change in his face that Fang Tianchen couldn't see.

"Bring your flask. The old man stretched out his right hand.

Hearing this, Fang Tianchen patted his head, removed the wine jug and handed it directly to the old man.

The old man took the bronze wine jug and stood on the small bamboo bridge like this, looking at the wine jug in his hand in a daze, and Fang Tianchen did not disturb the old man, and stood there quietly.

After a long time, the old man sighed slightly, and then walked to the bluestone platform and sat down.

"Come here. ”

Seeing the old man speak, Fang Tianchen walked over slowly.

"The old man doesn't accept apprentices, you can learn art here, how much you can learn depends on your own understanding, and you can leave at any time......"

Although Fang Tianchen had doubts, he still nodded and did not ask why.

As if seeing the doubts on Fang Tianchen's face, the old man stroked the hand of the wine jug lightly.

"The one who gave you the jug is my ...... in vain"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Tianchen's mind became clear in an instant, whether it was the scene of Zhang Jiang giving the wine jug, or the pattern of the four figures on the wine jug......

Afterwards, the old man did not say anything more, but just sat quietly.

"Sit down...... the old man pointed to the bluestone bench on the side and motioned for Fang Tianchen to sit down.

The old man went straight back to the house, took a piece of wood with his palms laughing, sat down in front of the bamboo house, and carved quietly.

Just a piece of wood, a bronze knife, and nothing else!

Fang Tianchen also watched quietly like this.

"There are too many carved and carved shapes and tangible things in the world, but the vast majority of them are tangible and heartless things! For example, the rockery has a mountain shape, but there is no mountain heart, why is the heart of the mountain? The heart of the mountain is the majesty between heaven and earth! For example, the monarch of the present day has a human form, no human heart, no heart to help the world, no heart of benevolence!"

Hearing this, Fang Tianchen was shocked in his heart, this person actually said this about the current monarch. But he didn't show it, just listened quietly.

Because, only Fang Tianchen, who has been to the barracks, understands. The war with the Nanban Ancient Kingdom has always been initiated by the Great Xia Kingdom!

Today's monarch is very greedy for military exploits, regardless of the life and death of the people, and what the old man said is true!

The old man didn't look up at Fang Tianchen at all, he just carved the thing in his hand by himself, sawdust flying sideways, and the knife in his hand was keenly scratching.

"Engraving and casting complement each other, and casting creates its shape. Without a heart, in other words, without a heart there is no life!"

"The old man has taken three apprentices in his life. The eldest apprentice's name is Zhang and he has worked hard all his life, but unfortunately his qualifications are limited, and the second apprentice is the current monarch. The heart is not here. Knowing that he is greedy for merit, the three apprentices are the craftsmen and gods of the world, the name is Qin Kong, and the intelligence and understanding are all superior, but they have been captured by the world's fame and fortune, and they have become unintentional people!"

Hearing this, Fang Tianchen's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart had already turned over and over. I also understood the reason why the old man did not accept apprentices.

That's it. Fang Tianchen quietly watched the old man carving, and a faint realization came to his mind.

"Original. Zhang Jiang is Zhang Buregret, he is the old man's big apprentice, at that time, Zhang Jiang said that the artifact I cast has no life, it seems that it is the method of carving!" Fang Tianchen pursed his lips, recalling the carving he had seen in the bamboo house before.

Those carvings were obviously not as Fang Tianchen saw, but because the carvings of the old man gave him shape, gave him his heart, and gave him life, so it made Fang Tianchen feel like an illusion.

I will feel that the horse will gallop away, the fish will leap over the dragon gate, the wolf will pounce on the prey, and the dragon will be like a holy object of heaven and earth!

All of this is the old man's miraculous carving method that gives life to the carved things!

And the reason why Fang Tianchen came here was to answer the confusion in his heart.

At this moment, Fang Tianchen looked at the old man's carving, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Why do you want to make a vessel, why do you want to give it shape, why do you want to give it life...... Without weapons, there would be no war, no death, no broken homes, no displacement......"

Hearing this, the old man stopped the carving in his hand for the first time and looked at Fang Tianchen, a gleam flashed in his old eyes. He immediately lowered his head again and continued to carve the thing in his hand, without answering Fang Tianchen's question.

Fang Tianchen didn't ask again.

When the old man finished carving the thing in his hand, he gently placed it on the bluestone platform.

And Fang Tianchen's pupils shrank suddenly.

This is the man in a robe and his hair, it is Fang Tianchen himself!

The statue stood quietly like this, but Fang Tianchen felt as if the statue would come to life at any time.

The next moment, Fang Tianchen felt as if his eyes were being burned, a burning sensation filled his pupils, and he seemed to feel a sharp golden glow piercing into his mind, and his head was splitting!

"This ......" Fang Tianchen picked up his own statue on the bluestone platform, his face full of confusion.

As you said, would the world really be peaceful without a device? You are wrong...... It is not anything that causes all this, but people! Talent is the foundation of everything! It is greed! Greed is the source of all vanity!" the old man stood up and walked away slowly.

"The progress of human beings depends on the desire for knowledge, but they can't escape the word greed, because they covet the flesh and blood of beasts, so they invented the earliest instruments, and since then, the nature of human beings has long been exposed, and no one can escape!" The voice of the old man leaving slowly came into Fang Tianchen's ears.

Hearing this, Fang Tianchen froze in place like this, holding the statue in his hand and slowly closing his eyes.

This stop is three days.

When Fang Tianchen opened his eyes again, there was clarity in his eyes! A smile appeared on his face.

"I see...... If you can't escape the chessboard, I'll be the chess player!"

Ten days later.

On the second floor of the Craftsman God Pavilion, Zhang Jiang received an item wrapped in a wooden box, and when Zhang Jiang opened the wooden box, his pupils shrank slightly, and then a few tears flowed out of his eyes. Bursts of laughter came from it!

This is a sword, with a pattern engraved on the blade, it is four vivid figures, one is wearing a Nine Dragons robe, the other is wearing a brocade robe, the third person is holding a wine jug bare, and the last person is Fang Tianchen.

Four figures knelt on the ground, and in front of the four people, an old man stood with a smile!

This is a sword that contains life!

At this point, the Great Xia Kingdom has changed!

The monarch of the Great Xia Kingdom is no longer greedy for military exploits, the craftsman god has returned to the mountains and forests, and the first treasure of the Great Xia Kingdom has disappeared without a trace!

And now the first treasure of the Great Xia Kingdom is a sword called vain! (To be continued......
