Thousands of sails are not in transit, and the slanting veins are long.

Azu's experience shocked the Tong family and softened the Tong family's heart. But what should come will come after all.

Sitting in the seat of the head of the family is a middle-aged man, his eyebrows are like swords, and he is not angry and arrogant.

"Azu, I don't know how long it has been since you learned the carving skills of my old man?" The middle-aged man drank a glass of wine, staring directly at the empty wine glass in his eyes, but in a deep voice.

As soon as he spoke, the audience fell silent.

When Azu heard the meaning of the words, he knew that he was the ruler of the Tong family, and he was also the son-in-law of Boss Tong and the father of Sister Shishi. Just honestly replied: "Three years." “

"Three years ......" the middle-aged man closed his eyes. "Do you know how many years my old man has been immersed in it?"

"I haven't heard how old ......," Azu shook his head. "But I think it's a lifetime. ”

The middle-aged man smiled, just staring at Azu: "Yes, I will be a lifetime." He has carved all his life, carved out your apprentices, carved rheumatism. Now, the Tong family has abandoned the carving industry, but he wants to become the ingenuity workshop...... Tong's carving art should not exist anymore, but he said that you have become a member of Tong's carving, how do you feel ......?"

"Cheng An...... You can't ......" Boss Tong saw that the atmosphere had changed a little, and he was about to speak, but he was interrupted by a middle-aged man raising his hand.

"Daddy...... If you want to make this Karakuri, I'll be sure...... But if you want to make such nonsense, I can't agree to it. ”

Boss Tong was speechless.

"Boy, are you cowardly?" The middle-aged man should have been named Cheng'an, but he changed his name, which was a bit aggressive.

Azu had already come to his senses, but at this time he was calm. The attitude of the middle-aged is actually the real attitude of the Tong family. They were not hostile to themselves, but their concern for the old and the young, which became an opposition to carving.

This is the decision between the Tong family and the Tong carving art, but it is also the rejection of the outdated antiques in this world, and it is also the challenge of the years to the children.

"I feel that I am far inferior to Tong Lao......" Azu said slowly, but the voice changed again.

"But Tong is getting old, and he really needs someone to inherit his mantle to revitalize Tong's carving art......"

"If Tong Lao recognizes me, I will naturally not be afraid. ”

The voice of a teenager is green and ordinary, but it has a pure heart.

"Good, good, good not timid. The middle-aged man applauded, showing a look of appreciation.

"But you're not cowardly, but I'm cowardly......"

In the faint sigh, the middle-aged man had already stood up, and his tall body was like a mountain, towering majestically.

"I, Tong Chengan, asked you, my father believes that you can revitalize the Tong family, do you think you can revitalize?"

"How do you prove it?

"My father has waited for three or five years, and no one can do it, you ask yourself, are you worthy?"

The voice gradually became stern, and Tong Chengan was angry. This is the majesty of the person who has been in the upper position for a long time, and it is also the majesty of the entire Tong family.

"Daddy......" Sister Shishi wanted to interrupt, but was scolded by Tong Cheng'an.

"Shut up, men talk about things, women talk about anything!"

Sister Shishi can only bow her head, Dad, this is really angry......

Azu looked at Tong Cheng'an's wide eyes, but what he saw was not only anger, but also the burden of the Tong family, his concern for his father, and even ...... There is still a glimmer of hope......

Perhaps, he also wanted an answer, and he also wanted to let Tong Lao get his wish......

Azu also stood up slowly, standing opposite to Tong Cheng'an.

A child, a dignified head of the family, looked at each other, but Azu had no intention of retreating.

"Then I'll tell you I'm worthy!"

The boy's voice was sonorous, but there was no trembling in the slightest. At this time, he was no longer a teenager, but a real man.

"Yes! Tong Chengan praised, but picked up a glass of wine and handed it away.

"With this drink, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself. ”

Azu took the wine glass handed to him and fell into his hand. In the glass, the wine is pure in color and free of impurities, like a glass of calm water, but the fishy and pungent aroma in it overflows.

He was only nine years old, had never drunk and could not drink.

But at the moment, he had something important on his shoulders and had to drink.

Raise a glass and drink it, and the strong breath pours into the mouth, like a fire entering the throat and going straight to the heart.

The wine has not fallen, and the glass is empty. Just like the heroic knight who generously goes into battle, just a glass of wine to kill the enemy, I am willing.

"Uncle Mu, go get something......" Tong Chengan's eyes were already a little turbulent, although the young man in front of him had the youthfulness of a teenager, he also had a heroic backbone.

The eyes are misty, and the wine is gradually rising. Azu endured the drunkenness that gradually dissipated, but said vaguely: "How do you want me to prove it." ”

Looking back, Uncle Mu had already returned, but he was holding a tray covered with a red cloth in his hand.

"You want to revitalize Tong's carving art, so let me see how you carve. ”

Tong Cheng'an said in his mouth, but he took the tray and lifted the red cloth.

In the tray was a five-inch gold bar and a brand-new carving knife.

"Take this gold bar and carve it for me." No matter what you carve, as long as you don't make mistakes, you've won. ”

"Daddy......"

"Cheng'an ......"

Tong Lao and Sister Shi Shi both speak out, others don't understand, how can they not understand?

Gold is different from wood in that it is tougher, but it has a soft texture. Even if the official family builds gold, it is also quenched by fire, how can it be possible to use a carving knife to make carving?

Taking a step back, even if there is no carved platform, it is not a carving environment in plain sight. The gold quality is not easy to control, which is the ore texture, even if it is to be carved, it will also be subject to great resistance and difficult to form. Azu is only nine years old, how can he get so much strength?

What's more, he had just drunk wine, and in his drunkenness, it was a thousand times more difficult?

It's simply an impossible task.

Tong Chengan waved his hand, but it was a gesture.

"Needless to say, let me ask you, do you dare to carve?"

In his drunken eyes, Azu smiled miserably, but he stepped forward and took the carving knife, which was to take the gold bar with one hand.

Although the gold bar is only five inches long, it is heavy, and it is about to fall in the hand.

Tong Chengan's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

In his left hand, he took a gold bar, and the carving knife in his right hand had not yet been cut, and he was drunk.

Sister Shishi's expression was even more remorseful. Perhaps, I shouldn't have told him those ...... before He's only a nine-year-old kid, but he shouldn't have to bear that much.

He didn't want to carve the platform, but he bowed his body, and he wanted to carve it with the gold bar.

Azu's face was already a little red, and his eyes were blurred, as if he was carrying a small mountain in his hand, trying to pull him down.

This gold bar, sure enough, is gold, and it is so heavy......

In the fog, it seems to have entered a mysterious realm.

Azu was in a clear mind, and his eyes were already clear. And around, the Tong family, Uncle Mu, Sister Shishi, Boss Tong, and Tong Chengan, they all maintained their original posture and did not move, but it was as if time had stopped.

Seeing the look in their eyes, there was shock, sympathy, and worry, and Tong Cheng'an also had a strange appreciation in his eyes.

There was a strange golden light in the body, like the help of the gods, and a cool intention came, dispelling all the wine.

This is......

Azu was surprised, this state, once felt for a moment, was when Na Ji threw stones at them without life, and he took it in a trance. That day was just like a sudden miracle, but now it appeared again for some reason, it actually relieved him of his alcohol, and made him feel ethereal like never before.

There is a wild imagination in the mind, and all kinds of thoughts diverge to the heavens and the earth. At this moment, he felt that he was the focus of heaven and earth, communicating with the world.

Time moved again, and everything around me began to go on again. And Azu is already like a divine help, and his heart is already a bamboo.

The carving knife slowly fell, touching the surface of the gold bar, and also touching the hearts of everyone.

Azu never hesitated, in this state, he seemed to know thousands of avenues and could do anything. What can be done with a small gold bar? What is the difference between it and the mahogany on the carved platform?

It is sonorous and powerful, the hand and the carving knife are integrated, there is no trembling, and the gold dust flies sideways. On the gold bar, the wisps of texture are like inscriptions engraved from the sky, slowly emerging.

Gold bars are tough, how can they be tenacious enough to overcome the heart of a young man?

is like a scholar who walks the dragon and snake, and like a rebellious knight. The carving knife is like a swimming dragon, galloping on the gold bar, outlining the youthful spirit.

Everyone looked at the young man, but the young man no longer felt the crowd around him.

Boss Tong's eyes were full of old tears, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

The figure of the young man fell in the eyes of Sister Shishi, so dazzling. She was originally a talented woman, but she never confided in her life, but now, she wanted to chant the poetry of the poet fairy.

Wuling is young in the east of the gold city, and the silver saddle and white horse spend the spring breeze. Drop flowers and laugh in the orchid restaurant!

The crowd stopped drinking and eating, but just waited for the boy in tacit understanding.

After the carving, the young man raised his head, but his hand was just like a flying flower, and the carving knife was inserted horizontally on the tray. In his other hand, there was a golden light.

Everyone paid attention, but on the gold bar, there were angry eyes, the fairy qi soared, and in the storm, there was a giant dragon flying in the sky!

The dragon has never been seen before, but its expression is real, and even every scale is shining with a divine light, as if it is about to fly out of the gold bar and fly through the sky in the next moment!

The young man is drunk, full of pride, and carves a dragon with one hand!

"Azu, you...... What kind of dragon ...... are you carving?" heard the trembling voice, that is, the boy boss had already spoken.

"I don't know, just carve as you like. Azu smiled faintly, at this time he had retreated from his passion, and his heart was like water.

Whatever you want, is that it?

But it was the housekeeper who called Uncle Mu who spoke up, and he couldn't hide his excitement: "This ...... This is Ying Long...... This is the mythical rain god dragon! I have seen it in ancient books, Ying Long enters the wind and rain, and its claws give birth to six fingers!"

Tong Chengan looked at Azu, there was an unconcealable glint in his eyes, and after a long time, he spit out words in his mouth.

"You've won, I won't ask about Tong's carving anymore...... I only hope that you will not fail my Tong family......"

The boy nodded, but did not speak.

"This golden dragon is a priceless treasure, I have the heart to buy it, I don't want to take advantage of you. A million taels of silver, how?"

Everyone in the Tong family raised their heads at this time, with disbelief in their eyes. The Tong family is no longer the Tong family at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and taking out one million is going to hurt the muscles and bones.

Although this golden dragon is indeed amazing, it really costs so much money to buy it?

Azu looked at Tong Chengan, but he had a lot of insight in his heart.

In fact, what he really means is that he trusts himself. This million taels of silver is an excuse, but the real intention is to let himself use this to revitalize Tong's carving art.

Shaking his head, Azu said: "Thank you to the master of the family, but this material carving knife is from the Tong family, I just want to take it, and I also take the labor fee, but this golden dragon is not mine." ”

"One hundred taels is enough. ”

Tong Cheng'an was dumbfounded, and finally lost his laughter.

"So be it. Sit down, this meal still has to be eaten...... Uncle Mu, tell the kitchen to do it again. There was no longer a sense of rejection in the voice. "By the way, take my aged daughter red......"

Everyone is happy, like family.

......

After three rounds of drinking, they were all drunk. The table was full of intoxication, and even Sister Shishi fell on the table. Boss Tong was drunk, but he patted Azu's shoulder.

Azu also drank a lot of wine, but he was never drunk, but he just looked at Boss Tong's face full of smiles. Boss Tong is usually serious, but this is the first time he has seen such a scene of laughter.

"Azu...... You...... You let me ...... Remembered...... One person ......"

Azu smiled: "Tong Lao, you are drunk." ”

Boss Tong didn't listen to him, just took care of himself and continued.

"It's like a ...... Danqing ......"

As soon as the words fell, Boss Tong was already overwhelmed, so he collapsed, and Azu hurriedly caught him.

Painting......
