Life is like a bowl of water, and there is a hint of Wang Lin in the plain and bland, and there is a sense of spiritual cleansing for this kind of life without killing.

At this moment, he forgot his identity as a cultivator, forgot the killing of four hundred years, but truly integrated into the mortal world, and experienced the bitterness and sweetness of mortals.

Every morning, Wang Lin would get up early, open the door of the shop, and then sit quietly in the shop, holding the wood section carved with wood carvings, and his shop was already densely filled with countless carved products.

The neighbors of the surrounding shops gradually knew that the store had changed owners, and they all had a good impression of Wang Lin, a young man who showed a trace of elegance in his quietness.

With the passage of time, Wang Lin's shop, gradually there are guests, although these people can not see the aura on the wood carving, but they can see the delicacy of the wood carving, over time, Wang Lin's shop, in this area, but also a little famous.

A year has passed in a blink of an eye, and in this year, the mysterious old man has never appeared again, although Wang Lin said that he would think of this person from time to time, but slowly, he would no longer pay attention to it.

He is completely immersed in wood carving, looking for the pleasure of being lost for a long time.

In Wang Lin's shop, the most placed are the lifelike and vivid wood carvings of demon beasts, and almost most of the demon beasts on these wood carvings are unseen by mortals.

In fact, don't say it's them, even if there are cultivators here, there must be few people who can recognize them, after all, this place is too far away from the Demon Cultivation Sea, the world is so big, there are many types of demon beasts, and it is impossible for anyone to know them all.

At this time, Wang Lin was holding a wooden segment in his hand, which was square, and with Wang Lin's knife carving, a prototype of a turtle demon beast was gradually outlined.

Look at the wood carving in your hand. Wang Lin put down the carving knife. Pick up the celadon flask next to it. Just as I was about to drink it. But I was dumbfounded. There was no wine in the pot.

Usual this time. The bull would come to see him make wood carvings. Every time you come. There is always a jug of fruit wine in hand.

Really. It didn't take long. has grown a tall cow. Pushed open the door of the shop and walked in. The big cow is the boy. At this time and place he. Although he was only twelve years old. But he was very tall.

My body is also much stronger than a year ago.

After entering the store. Da Niu grumbled. Come and sit down beside Wang Lin. said: "Uncle Wang." When are you going to my house? Tell me about my dad. He always asked me to learn how to make iron from him. I don't want to learn. If you learn. I'm also going to learn my uncle's wood carving skills. He said. He held a jug of fruit wine in his hand. It was placed next to Wang Lin. The little eyes narrowed. stared straight at the wood carving in Wang Lin's hand that had not yet taken shape.

Wang Lin laughed. Picked up the flask and took a big sip. This fruit wine. The taste is sweet with a hint of spiciness. After drinking it, a trace of heat rose in the belly. This year. It has become Wang Lin's daily necessities.

"Uncle Wang, what kind of animal are you carving now, I think it looks like a turtle. Da Niu looked at the wood carving and said confusedly.

Wang Lin touched the head of the big cow and said with a smile: "This is not a turtle, but a creature called the bell and drum, although it looks similar to a turtle, but in fact, it is infinitely powerful. ”

Da Niu nodded as if he didn't understand, this year, he had seen countless various animals in Wang Lin's shop, each of which he had never seen before.

Wang Lin took the carving knife and carved it on the wood carving, this creature that looked like a turtle was actually a relatively rare medium-grade spirit beast in the Demon Cultivation Sea, and the idle monks who were angry couldn't resist at all.

However, for Wang Lin, this kind of low-level spirit beast has slaughtered a lot, and its inner pill has swallowed a lot, so that he carved at this time, and the appearance of this beast is completely formed in his heart, and he has no pause at all.

Half an hour later, Wang Lin pointed deeply with a carving knife in the eyes of this beast, and suddenly, the wood carving seemed to come to life, emitting bursts of fierce flames.

The beast looked up at the sky, with a hint of unwillingness and fear in its eyes, and opened its mouth, as if it let out a silent roar, and a wave of qi, in a state invisible to mortals, suddenly spread out from the wood carving.

It's just that this wave of qi has just spread less than three inches, and it has returned to calm down under Wang Lin's right hand.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and put the wood carving on the side shelf at will, in this year's time, Wang Lin has found that he has the most, that is, he can make medium-grade spirit beasts, and the wood carvings of high-grade spirit beasts cannot be carved anyway.

Every time I carved a spirit animal, I would be uncontrollable in the last few strokes, causing the carving to shatter.

Wang Lin knew that this was because of his own cultivation, after all, the high-grade spirit beast was already equivalent to the incarnation period of a human monk.

Da Niudi's eyes showed a look of fascination, for the past year, he watched Wang Lin carving every day, and gradually, the whole person was safely addicted to it.

In the past year, he has also secretly tried to carve with a carving knife

Unable to carve a satisfactory wood carving, at this time, seeing Wang Lin's casual shape, he couldn't bear it anymore and interrogated.

Wang Lin was silent for a while, looked up at the young man in front of him, and said: "Wood carving, you need to understand, if you want to learn, just watch me carve for sixty years, and after sixty years, you can make it." ”

The big cow stuck out his tongue and said, "Sixty years...... But I look at the carpenter in Nancheng, he is only in his forties, but the wood carvings he makes are also very good. ”

Wang Lin picked up the wine jug, took another sip, and said, "I am different from him. ”

Da Niu's eyes showed a look of confusion, obviously not understanding the meaning of the place.

At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion outside, Da Niu hurriedly got up and ran out, and it didn't take long for him to come in and say in surprise: "Uncle Wang, the eldest son of the Xu family's shop is back, he is followed by more than a dozen big cars, and there are many people, but he is majestic." ”

With that, he ran out again.

Wang Lin didn't care, but picked up a piece of wood, recalling the scenes in the land of the ancient gods, the huge desolate beast that impressed him the most, hesitated, Wang Lin took the carving knife and carved it on the wooden segment.

Time passed slowly, more than an hour later, the shop was pushed open, only to see the big cow happily run in, from behind him, followed by a sturdy young man, the young man entered the room, looking at the wood carvings around him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Da Niu hurriedly came to Wang Lin's side, squeezed his eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Don't sell it so expensive!"

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and said loudly: "Young Master of the Xu family, this is the shop I am talking about, you see these wood carvings, they are no worse than Zhou Carpenter's, how about it, buy a few and go back." ”

Wang Lin smiled dumbly, this big cow obviously saw that there were not many customers in Wang Lin's store this year, so as soon as he met a rich customer, he would definitely pull him to Wang Lin's store as soon as possible.

The young man surnamed Xu looked around, his eyes became brighter and brighter, unlike Da Niu, he was a person who had seen the world, and now he had become one of the cronies and followers of the prince of Nanwang, he could see at a glance that the quality of these wood carvings was more than a few chips stronger than the well-known Zhou carpenter in the capital.

Although Carpenter Zhou's wood carving is also lifelike, but there is always something missing, he was silent for a while, and suddenly understood that the wood carving made by Carpenter Zhou is one word different from what he sees in front of him, that is, life!

One is lifelike, and the other is lifelike!

The difference between one word is more than a thousand miles!

Xu Qingqing's eyes were blazing, and he stepped forward to pick up a wood carving, which was carved by the dragon that Wang Lin carved a year ago.

This dragon coiled his body, the dragon head raised to look at the sky, and every scale on his body was clearly visible, and what shocked the young man surnamed Xu was that at the moment he got this carving, he suddenly had a feeling that this beast was alive, and his right hand was released under the shock, and the wood carving fell from his hand.

Da Niu has long paid attention to the other party's expression, and he knows that these wood carvings, once they are held in their hands, they will have a magical feeling, so he often only looks at them and does not touch them.

With a bang, the wood carving fell to the ground, but fortunately, this is a wood product, and it will not be damaged by a few occasional drops.

The young man surnamed Xu blushed, and hurriedly said, "Master Wang, what kind of animal is depicted on this wood carving? I think it looks like a snake?"

Without waiting for Wang Lin to answer, Da Niu straightened his chest and said, "This is Jiaolong! Do you know Jiaolong? That's a first-class immortal!"

"Jiaolong ......" the young man surnamed Xu secretly remembered and said: "How to sell this Jiaolong wood carving?"

Wang Lin smiled casually and said, "Ten taels of gold." ”

When Da Niu heard this, he sighed secretly, and said in his heart that this time it was over, he had brought a lot of people to this store this year, but every time Wang Lin said the price, everyone shook their heads and left.

But he didn't expect that the young man surnamed Xu just frowned, so he immediately took out ten taels of gold from his arms and put them on the table, then took off his coat, wrapped it in the wood carving, and left in a hurry.

Da Niu stared blankly at the ten taels of gold on the table, his eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself: "It's incredible, a wood carving can be sold for ten taels of gold, and the iron tools made by my father can only be sold for one or two gold in a month, which is a rare thing." ”

After muttering to himself, he immediately made up his mind, isn't it sixty years, he admitted, and said that he would learn this craft to his hands, with this craft, he will not worry about food and clothing in his life.

At this time, he didn't think that it would take sixty years to make wood carvings, and even if he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, it would be sixty years later......

The young man surnamed Xu, after leaving the shop with a coat wrapped in wood carving, hurried home to say goodbye to his parents, and didn't even touch the dinner prepared by his parents, and hurriedly took everyone to gallop in a carriage and rushed towards the Nanwang Mansion in the east of the city.
