Renegade Immortal

Life is like a bowl of clear water, plain and light with a hint of presence and absence. Wang Lin has a sense of spiritual cleansing in this life without killing.

At this moment, he forgot his identity as a cultivator and the four hundred years of killing. Instead, he 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 his shop, and then sit quietly in his shop, carving wood carvings with pieces of wood. His shop was already densely packed with countless carved products.

Neighbors in the surrounding shops gradually came to know that the shop had changed its owner, and they all had a favorable impression of Wang Lin, a quiet young man with a hint of elegance.

As time passed, Wang Lin's shop gradually began to have customers. Although these people could not see the aura on the wood carvings, they could see the exquisiteness of the wood carvings. Over time, Wang Lin's shop became more and more famous. This area is somewhat famous.

A year passed in the blink of an eye. During this year, the mysterious old man never appeared again. Although Wang Lin would think of this person from time to time, he slowly stopped paying attention to him.

He was completely immersed in wood carving, looking for the long-lost joy.

In Wang Lin's shop, the most displayed items are the lifelike wood carvings of monsters and beasts. Almost most of the monsters on these wood carvings have never been seen by ordinary people.

In fact, let alone them, even if there are cultivators who come here, few will be able to recognize them. After all, this place is too far away from the Sea of ​​Demon Cultivators. The world is so big and there are so many types of monsters that it is impossible for anyone to recognize them all.

At this time, Wang Lin was holding a piece of wood in his hand. The piece of wood was in a square shape. As Wang Lin carved it with his swords, the prototype of a turtle-like monster was gradually outlined.

Looking at the wood carving in his hand. Wang Lin put down the carving knife. Pick up the celadon wine bottle next to it. Just as he was about to drink it. But he appeared dumbly. There is no more wine in the pot.

Usually this time. Daniel would come to watch him make wood carvings. Every time I come. Always with a jug of cider.

really. It didn't take long. He has grown taller than a giant bull. He opened the door of the shop and walked in. Daniel is that young man. At this time he. Although he is only twelve years old. But he is very tall.

My body is also much stronger than a year ago.

After entering the store. Daniel complained. He came to sit next to Wang Lin. Said: "Uncle Wang. When you come to my house someday, tell me about my father. He always asks me to learn to make iron tools from him. I don't want to learn. If I learn, I am also going to learn my uncle's wood carving skills." He said. He held a jug of cider in his hand.

Placed next to Wang Lin. The little eyes narrowed. Staring straight at the unformed wood carving in Wang Lin's hand.

Wang Lin laughed. He picked up the wine bottle and took a long sip. This fruit wine. The taste is sweet with a hint of spiciness. After drinking it, I felt a burning sensation in my stomach. this year. It has become Wang Lin's daily necessity.

"Uncle Wang, what kind of animal are you carving now? It looks like a turtle to me." Daniel looked at the wood carving and said in confusion.

Wang Lin touched the bull's head and said with a smile: "This is not a turtle, but a creature called a bell. Although it looks similar to a turtle, it is actually extremely powerful."

Daniel nodded in understanding. Over the past year, he had seen countless animals of all kinds in Wang Lin's shop, each one of which he had never seen before.

Wang Lin took a carving knife and started carving on the wood carving. This creature that looked like a turtle was actually a rare medium-grade spiritual beast in the sea of ​​demon cultivators. When it got angry, a simple cultivator would not be able to resist it.

However, for Wang Lin, he had slaughtered a lot of low-level spiritual beasts, and swallowed a lot of its inner elixirs. In this way, he was carving, and the appearance of the beast was completely formed in his heart. With one blow after another, There was no pause.

Half an hour later, Wang Lin tapped the beast's eyes deeply with his carving knife. Suddenly, the wooden sculpture seemed to be alive, emitting bursts of fierce flames.

The beast looked up at the sky, with a look of reluctance and fear in its eyes. It opened its big mouth and seemed to let out bursts of silent roars. A wave of air, invisible to mortals, suddenly spread from the wooden sculpture. out.

However, just as the air wave spread less than three inches, it returned to normal with a touch of Wang Lin's right hand.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and put the wood carvings aside casually on the shelf. In this year, Wang Lin has discovered that the most he can do is make middle-grade spiritual beasts. Wood carvings of high-grade spiritual beasts, no matter what, Nor can it be carved.

Every time I carve a high-grade spiritual beast, I lose control over the last few strokes, causing the carving to break.

Wang Lin knew that this was because of his own cultivation. After all, a high-grade spiritual beast was equivalent to the incarnation stage of a human monk.

Daniel's eyes showed a look of intoxication. Over the past year, he had been looking at Wang Lin's sculptures every day, and gradually, he became completely addicted to it.

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

Unable to carve a satisfactory wood carving, when he saw Wang Lin's random shape, he could no longer bear it and interrogated him.

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

Daniel stuck out his tongue and said: "Sixty years... But I see the carpenter Zhou in Nancheng. He is only in his forties, but the wood carvings he makes are also very good."

Wang Lin picked up the wine bottle, took another sip, and said, "He and I are different."

There was confusion in Daniel's eyes, and he obviously didn't understand the meaning contained in it.

At this moment, suddenly there was a burst of noise outside. Daniel quickly got up and ran out. Not long after, he poked his head in and said in surprise: "Uncle Wang, the eldest son of Xu's shop is back. He is following behind. There were more than a dozen large vehicles and many people following them, so it was quite impressive.”

With that said, he ran out again.

Wang Lin didn't pay attention, but picked up a piece of wood and recalled the scenes in the Land of the Ancient Gods. The huge wild beast that impressed him the most. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Lin took the carving knife and carved on the piece of wood. Carve it on.

Time passed slowly. More than an hour later, the store was pushed open, and Daniel ran in happily. Behind him, there was a rather strong young man. The young man entered the room and looked around. The wood carving, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Daniel quickly came to Wang Lin, winked, and whispered in a low voice: "Don't sell it so expensively!"

After saying that, he quickly turned around and said loudly: "Young master of the Xu family, this is the shop I was talking about. Look at these wood carvings, they are no worse than Carpenter Zhou's. How about buying a few and taking them back."

Wang Lin smiled dumbly. This big guy obviously saw that there were not many customers in Wang Lin's shop this year, so when he met a wealthy customer, he would definitely come to Wang Lin's shop as soon as possible.

The young man named Xu looked around, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. Unlike Daniel, he was a man who had seen the world, and now he had become one of the close followers of Prince Nan. He could tell at a glance that these wooden carvings were The quality is far superior to that of Zhou Carpenter, who is well-known in the capital.

Although Carpenter Zhou's wood carvings were lifelike, there was always something missing. He was silent for a while, and suddenly realized that there was one word difference between the wood carvings made by Carpenter Zhou and what he was looking at now. born!

One is lifelike and the other is lifelike!

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

With bright eyes, Xu Qingnian stepped forward and picked up a wooden sculpture. The wooden sculpture was engraved with the same dragon that Wang Lin carved a year ago.

This dragon was coiled up with its head raised to look at the sky. Every scale on its body was clearly visible. What shocked the young man surnamed Xu even more was that the moment he got the carving, he suddenly felt like this beast was alive. He felt a general feeling, and he let go of his right hand in shock, and the wooden sculpture fell from his hand.

Daniel has long been paying attention to the other person's expression. He knows that once these wood carvings are held in his hands, they will have a magical feeling, so he often just looks at them and doesn't touch them.

With a clang, the wooden sculpture fell to the ground. Fortunately, this is a wooden product, and it will not be damaged by occasional bumps.

The young man surnamed Xu blushed and said quickly: "Master Wang, what animal is carved on this wood carving? Why does it look like a snake to me?"

Before Wang Lin could answer, Da Niu puffed up his chest and said, "This is a dragon! Do you know about the dragon? That's a first-class god!"

"Jiaolong..." The young man surnamed Xu kept it in his mind and said, "How can I sell this dragon wood carving?"

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

When Daniel heard this, he sighed secretly, thinking that it was over again this time. He had brought many people to this shop this year, but every time Wang Lin mentioned the price, everyone would shake their heads and leave.

But he never expected that the young man named Xu just frowned, and immediately took out ten taels of gold from his arms and placed it on the table. Then he took off his coat, wrapped it on the wooden sculpture, and left in a hurry.

Daniel stared blankly at the ten taels of gold on the table, his eyes shining, and murmured to himself: "It's unbelievable that a wood carving can be sold for ten taels of gold. The iron tools made by my father can only be sold in a month." Selling a tael of gold is a rare thing."

After muttering to himself, he immediately made up his mind, wouldn't it be sixty years? He recognized it and wanted to learn this craft no matter what. With this craft, he would be a master and would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

At this time, he never thought that it would be sixty years before he could make wood carvings. Even if he had enough food and clothing, it would be sixty years later...

The young man surnamed Xu, after leaving the shop with the wooden carving wrapped in his coat, hurried home to say goodbye to his parents. He didn't even touch the dinner prepared by his parents. He quickly led everyone in a carriage and drove quickly towards the Nanwang Mansion in the east of the city. Go.
