Aspiring to the Immortal Path

For a new home, the little things are very curious. To her, many things in the human world are so new, so you have to touch everything.

An inkstone attracted her attention. She walked over, climbed to the inkstone and looked left and right, accidentally planted into the ink pond, and when she came out, she was completely dark.

Tang Jie saw laughed heartily, the little thing was a little angry, and shook his head. Next moment, the whole room was filled with ink.

"Okay, count you cruel!" Tang Jie, who was speechless looking at the black spots, took the little fellow out of the inkstone and was about to fetch her a bath, but saw that the little fellow was just With a wave of his hand, all the ink in his body has automatically dissipated, leaving only the white and tender and cute little face. Hehe smiled and looked at Tang Jie.

"Although the battle strength is a little worse, there are quite a few tricks." Tang Jie touched her cheek said with a smile: "Look at you talking yiyiyaya, I will call you Yiyi from now on. Ok?"

When the little thing heard that he had a name, he turned his head in excitement, and then repeatedly nodded.

"Well, just stay here." Tang Jie said and went out.

"yiyiyaya!" Seeing Tang Jie about to leave, Yiyi yelled anxiously.

Tang Jie said with a smile: "Don’t worry, I’m not leaving, I’m just going to make a nest for you. I guess you don’t like to live in a flowerpot honestly."

After a while, Tang Jie enters the house holding a large piece of wood.

He hollowed out the wood, stuffed it with cotton, sewed a small pillow and a small quilt with cloth, and hung a curtain at the entrance of the hole, which became a small wood house.

Taking the quilt, Tang Jie said, "Okay, from now on, this is your nest. You can sleep here when you have nothing to do. You can play in the house when I'm away, but you can't go out casually. If someone comes, you have to become a flower and stay in the pot so that no one can find you, you know?"

little fellow nodded, it has become a little white flower, quiet The ground stands in the basin.

"That's it!" Tang Jie said with a smile.

next moment The little thing has turned back into a human form, and it rushes into Tang Jie's arms to get intimacy with him.

After playing around for a while, the little fellow seemed to be a little tired, and fell asleep directly in Tang Jie's palm. Tang Jie carefully put the green calyx into the hut and covered her with a quilt.

Then Tang Jie sat alone by the bed and began to reflect on what happened.

When I first met Lue, Tang Jie just wanted to coax her into her hands. When she actually got her hands, Tang Jie realized that with the appearance of this little thing, there might be a lot of trouble in the future.

After carefully sorting out the possible problems, Tang Jie in the heart thought about it, and gradually got an idea. Seeing how early it is, Tang Jie glanced at the little fellow who was sleeping peacefully, said softly "Good night", and went to sleep.

In the morning of second day, Tang Jie got up early. After finishing the garden, Tang Jie found some old tree roots, took a knife and started cutting on the tree roots. After removing the extra branches and leaves, Tang Jie began to draw one blade after another on the root of the tree.

When a young man saw that he was curious and asked Tang Jie what it was, Tang Jie answered the root carving.

The days of attracting eyeballs by gardening have been long, and Wei Tianchong's interest in gardening has not been as high as before. Now Tang Jie plans to re-attract Wei Tianchong's attention with this carving.

But the most important thing is that with this famous carving, Tang Jie can move a lot of wood into his house in the future, so that he can conceal what he made for small things. Nest to make it less obtrusive. Although there are few guests in Tang Jie's cabin, you have to be careful of accidents, and it will also help Tang Jie to enroll in the future.

When I went to the Academy, Tang Jie was impossible to be a gardener again. This meant that he would lose the position he was good at, so Tang Jie had to find a way out for himself again.

Root carving is a good choice. This thing can be used wherever you go. Digging a few pieces of wood is the material.

If you did good, you can sell some money to supplement the household. Generally, you can also give it as a gift. People who have a skill are always more popular.

In addition, root carving is also useful for cultivation. There is a miscellaneous subject in cultivation called Puppet Technique. Through the cooperation of puppet making and refining formation, a person with combat capability is formed, and carving is used.

In fact, art has always had practical value in cultivation. Whether it is characters, paintings, sounds, or carvings, they can find their own value in the cultivation world.

For example, Xu Muyang drew a horse with just a few strokes, and then applied spell to make it alive, which embodies his superb painting skills.

If the painting is not good enough, the horse drawn looks like a donkey, even if it survives, it is just a joke.

As for the characters, they are also the basic needs of the picture talisman. If you write a law character, the characters on it will be crooked and appear out of thin air. A grinning "kill" character, just laugh at the effect. Falling teeth.

Therefore, in addition to the basic Immortal Technique in the Academy under the Great Immortal faction, the contents of the piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy also exist, and have practical significance-the cultivation world has all kinds of goods, There is no illiterate.

Tang Jie has been at Wei Mansion for more than a year. Apart from Formation Dao, he practiced writing and drawing when he had nothing to do. He didn't ask for amazing accomplishments, at least he had to be neat and decent. It is said that some students of Academy are unable to graduate after entering Immortal Sect because the liberal arts are so bad.

Tang Jie doesn't want to be unable to graduate because of his ugly character.

As for the current root carving, Tang Jie is thinking about learning Puppet Technique in the future, but also to integrate his Formation Dao knowledge into it.

Formation Dao is actually a wide-ranging subject. In addition to military formations, guarding the mountain formations, pill concocting, craftsmanship, and puppet institutions almost all need to use Formation, but the characteristics of the direction have nothing common with each other.

Xu Muyang is mainly good at Heaven and Earth. He is not very good at other types, but the truth is the same. Tang Jie can learn and research on his own.

Tang Jie is not interested in Puppet Technique, but the basic carving ability he needs is currently the only thing that has something to do with gardening. Others such as calligraphy and drawing have nothing to do with gardening. I think Doing this at work, Wei Family will never praise him for being motivated.

In addition, Puppet Technique and later generations of science and technology systems are similar in form. For Tang Jie, this means that he may have more development possibilities in this area.

Although he doesn't know how to sculpt his roots now, he is still two years away from enrollment. Two years are enough for him to master this craft.

The new pattern really attracted the attention of Wei Tianchong again-Perching Dawn World has stone carvings, but root carvings are rare.

Watching Tang Jie fiddle with the tree trunk full of roots in his hand, creating a shape one by one, Wei Tianchong feels fresh and even picked up an old tree root to learn it.

Tang Jie taught him how to deal with these tree roots.

Different from stone carving, root carving requires high material selection. Carvers need to make clever use of the natural form of the material itself. In addition, the real root carving pursues the strangeness in the shape. Generally, the roots that grow on the plains have sufficient nutrients, fast growth, and loose wood fibers, which makes it difficult to form peculiar shapes. There are only roots that grow in harsh environments, such as tree roots that grow in the sun or in the crevices of sheer cliffs and precipitous rock faces, and survive stubbornly after lightning, fire, ant erosion, rock pressure, human stepping, and knife cutting. , Due to lack of light, soil, water, and nutrients, it will gradually change shape over a long period of time. In addition, before engraving, various treatments are needed on the material.

But what Tang Jie pursues is not art but practicality, so you don't need to care about all of these. In his eyes, the root carving is "seven points artificial and three points natural."

Art is about weird shapes and rich imagination, but puppets are about simulation and realism, and they have to reserve space for the engraving of the formation. The two are similar in shape but different in quality.

But no matter which kind, it is not simple to do.

Sculpture itself is a very comprehensive art. It not only requires the artist to have a strong carving skills and artistic appreciation ability, but also a certain painting background.

Tang Jie's artistic cell is obviously very limited. He can't meet any of the above conditions. After holding a piece of wood for a long time, he didn't see anything famous. In the end, he cut it for a long time and finally dug it out. A small wooden person comes, the head occupies more than one third, two short legs composed of roots, how ugly you look. If this thing is activated with a refining array so that it can walk freely, it is probably a deformity, and it is estimated that it will fall to the ground within two steps.

Tang Jie can only sigh helplessly about this, comforting himself that Formation Dao has a preference. You can't expect all the world to love him, but this plan seems to be bankrupt. Sure enough, some plans are well formulated. , The lack of effective means of execution will not work.

Looking back at the side, I saw that Young Master Wei Tianchong was cutting his sword like flying, holding a disk-shaped protruding tree root flying block and cutting it, not too long, a small The tortoise has already appeared on the palm of his hand. Although this little tortoise has many flaws, at least the structure is complete and it doesn't look too distorted.

Tang Jie looked stunned: "Have you studied before?"

In his surprise, he didn't even call Young Master.

"No, this is the first time. It's very interesting." Wei Tianchong looked at his work and admired it.

"Genius..." Tang Jie moaned weakly.

Dreaming also didn't expect, Wei Tianchong unexpectedly has this innate talent.

From this day on, Wei Tianchong has been playing root carving with Tang Jie every day.

Different from Tang Jie's "Preferred by Formation Dao", this young Master really loves sculpting, which is in line with Xu Muyang's saying that if there is love, there is an innate talent.

At first, Wei Tianchong was a little worried that his mother would teach himself excessive attention to details prevents one from making progress after knowing this. Later, after hearing Tang Jie say that this is also one of the foundations of cultivation, he no longer indulged every day. In the root carving.

Sure enough, my wife deliberately consulted the Spirit Master Lu when she heard about this. After confirming that she was correct, she just said "Don't miss other lessons" and she never took care of her son again.

For her, it doesn’t matter which path her son’s cultivation takes. The important thing is that he finally has his own pursuit and has worked hard for it, so she appreciates Tang Jie more and more.

It is a good person who can improve his children!

Tang Jie's mood during this time is getting more and more depressed.

With the increase of the carving time, Wei Tianchong's level of root carving advanced by leaps and bounds, at first he could only carve some small wooden bauble, but it only took a few months, Wei Tianchong has already started to sculpt the tall guy with the entire section of the trunk.

A few months later, Wei Tianchong's first large-scale wood carving was completed. It was a white-fronted giant tiger with eye-catching eyes, and the carving was vivid.

Tang Jie has no doubt that if it is paired with the right formation, it will become a real man-eating tiger.

Looking at Wei Tianchong putting his first large-scale work in a flower garden with petals and enjoying it triumphantly, Tang Jie quietly crushed the small doll-like puppet in his hand.

My heart is broken.
