Chapter 293: From the Heart
The shopkeeper moved his muscles and bones, this is the second big event since the last time he shot in front of the two blue and white in Wolong Mountain, but this time is different from the last time, the qi and blood in the shopkeeper's body have been basically raised, and the exhausted body is also filled with full qi and blood, and the internal organs have also regained their vitality, like a new life.
Lying in the carriage as a salted fish for a long time, my body and bones are rusty, and I just took this opportunity to move.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the shopkeeper put the crescent shovel in the shape of a fist glove: "To do carpentry, you must first regard yourself as a part of the tool. β
As soon as the words fell, everyone only felt that the shopkeeper was a whole person, it seemed that the whole person had sunk a little, the shopkeeper's chest collapsed, and he didn't let go of it in one breath, and the original position of the foot fell into a few points out of thin air, and the shopkeeper itself was not a strong physique, but at this time, the shopkeeper felt as if he was carrying a towering mountain range, and the whole person gave people an explosive sense of fullness, just when everyone fell into this illusion, the shopkeeper's breath was released and exhaled, and everyone only felt that they heard the mountain wind whistling in their ears, as if everyone was deep in the mountains, and the mountain was being carried by the golden giant, which made people's hearts beat fasterγ
"Spit like wind and thunder!"
Guo Xiaodao looked at the shopkeeper in horror, with an incredulous expression, recalling what Lao Guo said to himself when he was still in the village-
"Stinky boy, if you know some three-legged cat kung fu, you can count martial arts? You must know that there are people outside the world, and you can't meet a real master with your fists and feet!"
"Then what do you think a real master is?"
"A real master, that is an existence that moves like carrying the sea, and breathes like wind and thunder. β
Guo Xiaodao still remembered that Lao Guo was fascinated when he said this, it was the first time he saw Lao Guo show that kind of expression.
It's like a pilgrimage.
Guo Xiaodao looked at the shopkeeper stupidly, could it be that this guy is really a master? It is said that masters are all unpredictable, so those things he teaches are really peerless martial arts?
I don't know that Guo Xiaodao's inner entanglement of the shopkeeper exhaled in one breath, then gasped, sank down, and danced quickly in the face of the five wooden arms, repeating the action of punching and closing the fist, so fast that a remnant was played, the bark on the five waist-wide trunks exploded like a knife cutting noodles, flying into the sky, each bark is two fingers wide, but the roots are scattered but none of them are broken, at first glance it looks like a goddess scattering flowers, if you pick it up and compare it carefully, you will find that these barks are even the same thickness. The apprentice carpenter-turned-bandit was fascinated by it, he never imagined that the work of digging wood like shrimp could be so magnificent!
Soon, the five trunks of the tree were planed clean, compared to the previous black-brown appearance, now the pale yellow appearance looks much cleaner, I don't know if it is an illusion that everyone can even see the reflection from the peeled trunk, the smooth surface even makes people want to touch it with their hands.
"Whew-" The shopkeeper took a breath, and looked at the five smooth trunks with dissatisfaction, if it is according to common sense, this trunk barking is very good, but the standard of making Muren Lane with the Wuxin monk back then is much worse, and the reason for the material occupies the majority, but there is also this grove near the official road, and there is no place to find snow ironwood, and the kind of wood can even see a mirror reflection similar to metal material when the skin is removed.
Then there's the measuring tape.
The shopkeeper took off the crescent moon fist gloves, picked up a huge ruler shaped like a giant sword, recalled the situation when he and the Wuxin monk were in Muren Lane, and the two were also teachers and friends, and faintly recited the teachings of the Wuxin monk back then: "What is measured is not the distance, but the rules!"
I saw the shopkeeper's drag ruler and the whole person dragged two small steps horizontally, and the heavy Kaifeng ruler dragged out two deep drag marks on the ground, and when the last step landed, the shopkeeper's breath was tense, and his feet poked the ground like two steel needles, and the ground did not pass the instep! The seemingly heavy ruler of the opening edge was actually waved up and pulled out of a black track, the trajectory was tortuous and changeable, like a dragon coiling away, and the five trunks were gradually unified into shape, into five square-shaped wood, and finally the shopkeeper raised his hand violently, and the opening scale drew a sharp trajectory, and the waist was cut to the middle of the square wood that fell together, and the five sections of wood were cut into the number of hands, both of length and size were the same, and there was no difference.
The crowd was stunned, such a mighty action was actually carpenter's work, and if this might rush at someone, they would either be cut into a stick or turned into paste.
Everyone thought about it in unison, and the neat chill trembled.
With a heavy sound of landing, the shopkeeper put the blade-like measuring tape against the wood and laid it straight on the ground, each section of wood just the same length as the etching on the measuring tape, and then put on two crescent-like shoes.
To be honest, these shoes are inexplicably funny, as if they are props worn by people who run the rivers and lakes on the big streets, but with the first two shocking examples, everyone naturally does not dare to underestimate these shoes.
"The front seems to be open and closed, but in fact it is skillful, its own role is just a fulcrum, if you can't stand firmly, you will be dragged out by the terrifying force, but then it will take some effort. β
The shopkeeper said this, stepped on the curved bladed pointed shoes and came to the wooden glue, squinting his eyes: "What is the most unreasonable thing in this world?"
The shopkeeper asked inexplicably, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I can't catch the stubble for a long time, but the shopkeeper doesn't care, squints his eyes like asking and answering, and continues: "The most reasonable thing in this world is the truth, with the reason, you are invincible, no one can defeat you, this is the truth, and this truth is quite unreasonable, because the truth cannot be spoken, more truth is indeed in the hearts of the people, just like this wood, in your eyes, In your heart, what shape this wood should be, this is your reason, but there is no reason for this wood. β
Saying that, there was no follow-up, and his feet shook and slipped on the wood like stepping on oil, without any fancy feet, and his body walked around the wood strangely, the speed was very fast, but each foot gave people a sense of stability and heaviness, this kind of stunned optical illusion made everyone dizzy, as if there were several shopkeepers appearing in front of everyone at the same time.
In a few moments, the wood turned into long strips.
"What's the matter? Seeing that you are not happy, and you are not happy to learn my life's work?"
Two men sat on the mountain road, one with long hair and a dark robe, and the other with a shiny bald head and a blue monk's robe.
"That's right. The long-haired man replied, "After all, you can only repair wood in this craft, but you can't repair the truth." β
The two looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and looked at the sky and the white clothes.
"In that case, wouldn't it be nice to make a new reason?" the monk in the blue monk's robe chuckled: "How can there be so many truths in the world, the so-called truth is just in the hearts of people, and it is the truth from the heart." β
"Will you break the rules if you teach me this craft?"
"Peace of mind, 'Heavenly Craft' is a little monk's own creation, if you meet someone destined to pass on others, it doesn't hurt. β
The shopkeeper's three-piece carpentry set is taken back into the box, the whole body of the box wood grain presents a peacock's tail feather-like texture, the whole is clear, if you don't open the lid and you can't even see the gap between the lid and the box, the box as a whole fits with mortise and tenon, flawless, this box is the box that stores the carpenter's three-piece set, it is also from the hand of the monk without heart, looking at the big "from the heart" on the box is the name of this set of tools, but the shopkeeper looks at these two words quite depressed.
"Wuxin, this guy, can't you write the word from the heart horizontally?"
