"It's good that the puppet has recovered, just so that the old man can see the changes in it!" He Jie stood up and made room for Li Yang.
The tray was still in Li Yang's hand, with twelve peeling-paint puppets placed on it. The carving of the puppets was good, but it was only good, not particularly good.
Now there is a hint of curiosity on the old man's face. Before Li Yang came down, He Jie and the others were talking about this set of puppets. Even the old man had never seen puppets that were more magical than Transformers.
Pass.
Li Yang put the tray down, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the puppets.
"Li Yang, why don't you start from the first metal ring and let grandpa see all the movements of this set of puppets?"
He Jie suddenly said something. At this time, Li Yang had opened the wooden grid on the edge of the tray, revealing the four metal rings inside. Everything was the same as when they got the set of puppets yesterday.
Li Yang's fingers were about to pull the fourth metal ring. When He Jie said this, his hand immediately turned around and pulled directly towards the first metal ring.
The metal ring is very thin, and you have to pick it with your fingernails before you can hold it. Li Yang pulled it four times yesterday, and has gained experience in accepting the strength of these metal rings. He didn't even try to go up, and just increased his strength to pull the first metal wire.
came out.
The twelve little puppets started moving again.
Although everyone had seen the magical movements of these puppets yesterday, everyone was still so amazed when they saw it again. The movements of these puppets are so natural, it can be said that they are more natural than the movements of puppets in cartoons.
Much.
Every movement is like a doll, stretching and shaking her head are all so cute.
If the paint on these puppets didn't peel off, they would definitely look better. Several people besides sighing at this magical scene didn't know what words to use to describe it.
Among the people in the living room, only the old man saw the magic of these puppets for the first time. At this time, the old man's eyes were wide open, his eyes were shining, and there was a look of surprise on his face.
The movements of this set of puppets also shocked the old man.
"Grandpa He, what I said is right, these puppets are simply from the Kingdom of Lilliput, they look like they are alive!"
Wu Du said proudly, as if this set of puppets belonged to him. He Jie and the others just smiled. Wu Du had the temper of a child, showing off in front of adults.
Not to mention Wu Du, even He Jie wanted to show off. There weren't many things that could shock the old man.
"Yes, it really looks like a living person, it's amazing!"
The old man nodded. He did not have Li Yang's special ability. At this time, he was still guessing in his mind what situation caused this action. Everything has a reason. No matter how magical things are, they all have their origins. It is important to understand these implications for ancient culture.
Development is very important.
After a while, the little puppet's movements slowed down a lot, and Li Yang pulled the second metal ring without waiting for them to stop.
The twelve villains immediately stood up facing each other and started punching each other. Their movements were soft and smooth. If these things hadn't happened in front of him, the old man would have thought he was watching TV.
Even the puppet movements on TV cannot achieve this level.
Liu Gang reported to the old man the boxing skills performed by these little puppets in the morning. However, except for the old man, no one else knew the meaning of these boxing skills. The old man was surprised and gradually showed a bright smile.
Regardless of the origin of this set of puppets, if these boxing techniques are really what Liu Gang said, then this thing is a very precious asset. China has been in turmoil for so many years, especially during the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang began to vigorously restrict folk martial arts.
With the development of martial arts, Xia used martial arts to break the ban, and Zhu Yuanzhang had a heavy blow to folk martial arts.
The Manchus and Qing Dynasties after the Ming Dynasty went even further in this regard. They were worried that the Han people would be too powerful and overthrow their rule, so they almost completely restricted the development of folk martial arts, but they did not impose any restrictions on the children of the Manchus.
It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the corruption in the court could not be controlled so much, that folk martial arts developed a little. Unfortunately, the political situation was turbulent and China began to be in dire straits for hundreds of years. Many ancient martial arts were lost accordingly, and only the ones that have been handed down to this day are
A few famous sects keep the bottom of the box for themselves.
So much so that today's special forces still learn the basic exercises from the Shaolin Temple. It's not that they can't learn other things, but that there simply aren't that many things to learn.
If these boxing skills are real, they will definitely be an asset to the country.
A layman can watch the fun, an expert can watch the door. The old man is a top expert in antiques, but he is far behind in martial arts. At least he can't see anything more than Li Yang and the others. It's just fun to watch the fight.
.
Li Yang didn't know what the old man was thinking now. After these villains finished fighting, he pulled the third metal ring.
After the metal ring was pulled, the twelve little people started to perform those special movements again. With yesterday's guess, everyone seemed very calm today.
"It's a carpenter's move!"
The old man pointed at the pallet and suddenly said, He Jie and the others had mentioned this set of actions just now. They suspected that they were sawing and planing wood. The specifics were unclear.
"Carpenter, is this really carpentry?"
He Jie followed up and said, no one seemed surprised at this time. This set of puppets is so amazing. It was definitely made by a top carpenter master. It is not surprising that there are carpenter's movements on it.
"Yes, it's a carpenter. You are all too young and have never seen a carpenter working. In the past, if someone in the family wanted to get married, they would hire someone to come to the house to make furniture. The boss would take care of the food, and the carpenter would still get paid for his work!"
The old man nodded with a smile and continued: "At that time, there were not so many ready-made furniture to buy, so carpenters became in-demand masters. They had no worries about food and clothing and lived a happy life. Many girls used to like to get married.
For a carpenter, at least your life is stable and you don’t have to worry about going hungry!”
What the old man said happened a long time ago. The status of carpenters today is far less than it used to be. Mechanized operations have made many traditional carpenters lose their jobs. Unless they are particularly good at craftsmanship and can still make something to support their families, generally
Many people have already changed careers.
Li Yang knows this very well. He has an uncle who originally learned carpentry and worked as an apprentice for eight years. However, after completing his studies, he was not as good as he had imagined. He had to work in a furniture factory, barely doing anything.
Maintain life.
"This is a complete set of carpentry activities. It is very standard. You can't understand it. If a real carpenter sees it, he will be deeply impressed!"
The old man sighed lightly. He now recognized the magic of this set of things. It was definitely a top-notch magical work. He was surprised that there were such magical craftsmanship in ancient China.
Over the years, too many things have been lost, which is a huge loss to Chinese culture.
"Old man, I'm about to pull the fourth metal ring, you have to watch carefully!"
Li Yang said with a smile that the effect of pulling the fourth metal ring was the most magical. What Li Yang said was supported by He Jie and the three of them.
You really need to take a closer look this time. It's unheard of for a puppet to be able to transform.
"Okay, I want to see what kind of 'Transformers' they are!"
The old man smiled and said, Wu Du just said about the "Transformers". When the old man said this, Wu Du lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.
The fourth metal ring was pulled. He Jie and the three of them sat up straight and stared at the tray without blinking. The changes yesterday were so magical that they couldn't even remember the changes before when they went back.
, everyone was shocked at that time.
Today I have this opportunity to take a closer look at how these puppets disappear and a new puppet appears.
The harsh friction sound on the tray reappeared, and the tray itself vibrated a few times before returning to calm.
Under the gaze of everyone, the puppets on the tray walked in one direction again, and stopped in a straight line in the middle. The puppets stood there quietly with their arms and legs spread apart.
There was still the sound of wood rubbing against each other. Only Li Yang knew that the inside of the pallet was being reorganized. Several other people looked at the pallet curiously and wanted to know how the sound was coming. Even the old man was no exception.
After a while, the puppets on the tray began to decompose automatically. The arms of the first puppet separated. When it was divided into many small wooden pieces, He Jie's eyes widened again.
They had seen it once yesterday, but it is not something that can be accepted after seeing it. Today, they saw a good puppet automatically break down into many small wooden pieces. Everyone's performance was not much better than yesterday.
The old man also opened his mouth wide. Hearing what he heard and seeing it with his own eyes are always two different things. The puppet's performance just surprised him. What was shown at this time, it can be said that the old man was also deeply shocked.
Hundreds of black metal wires kept shuttling, and the twelve small puppets on the tray soon disappeared. A new combination of puppets twice as big as the original slowly appeared. The old puppet was like an old wise man.
Sitting there still.
The surface of the tray is also constantly being reorganized. After the new puppets appear, the tray is gradually almost assembled. The unknown words that Li Yang and the others saw yesterday gradually appear on the tray.
The biggest purpose of their gathering here today is to translate these words. After the words appeared, everyone's spirits were lifted and they looked straight at the old man.
Everyone on the tray finally fell silent. The puppet man raised his finger again, then to the middle, where there was a vertical row of ancient characters.
Li Yang held the tray in front of the old man so that the old man could see the words on it better. What Li Yang didn't expect was that as soon as the old man read the row of words on it, he froze there.
