What young people long for is the world, pleasure and grudges, and the light and shadow of swords.
What the boy owned was a hammer, an iron chisel, and countless stones that his father carried back from the mountain.
He is a stonemason because his father is a stonemason.
The work of stonemasons is very hard and dangerous. They have to pull the cart into the mountains, smash the stones they want into stones on the spot, and then move them back for processing. The paths in the mountains are very narrow and bumpy, making it impossible for cars to move and horses.
You can't step on it, so you can only rely on people to transport the stones back.
Their family's ability to establish themselves as masons relies on their craftsmanship in engraving monuments.
Rich men donate money to open channels, county magistrates take office, and literati write and write. They all like to leave inscriptions for future generations who may not exist. Anyone who needs inscriptions within a hundred miles will think of the father and son who lived in the mountains.<
/p>
When the boy was ten years old, his father began to teach him lettering. A year later, he could carve better than his father. His father said that he was a genius. No matter what technique, he could master it once he saw it and he would become familiar with it by touching it.
From then on, my father put down the chisel, picked up the hammer, and traveled to the mountains to collect stones, leaving the task of carving monuments to his son.
But he doesn't want to live in the mountains all his life, counting the calluses on the tiger's mouth. He yearns for the world described by the storyteller. He wants to be a hero and do justice.
On that day, a member of the Communist Party of China celebrated his birthday. My father went into the mountain to collect stones for carving a longevity monument for the member of the Communist Party of China. It would take three days to come back.
He carefully observed the blessings sent by his maternal wife and memorized each stroke in his mind - neither he nor his father could read, and they didn't even know what they were carving. But his father said that illiterate stonemason is the best.
Good mason.
There was movement outside the door, and he thought it was his father coming back. But when he opened the door, he found a man covered in blood lying outside.
He quickly carried the man into the house and applied medicine to him. It was common for masons to be injured by stone fragments and scratched by sharp stones, so they always kept very useful ointments at home.
The man had a high fever for a day, but he woke up slowly the next day and could get out of bed and walk.
The man reported his origin, and the young man realized that this was the hero he had always wanted to be - a bodyguard with high martial arts skills.
The man said that he lost his dart, and all his companions died at the hands of bandits, but he was the only one who escaped with injuries.
The man had nowhere to go, so he asked the boy to let him stay. The boy hid the truth from his father and put the man in a hut with stones behind the house.
Abba had to go into the mountains several times before he could bring back satisfactory stones. During this time, the man became the boy's only companion.
During the day, the man practiced martial arts in front of the door, and the young man moved a bench in front of the door to watch, and sometimes asked him to teach him a few moves.
After the man finished practicing, he would sit down and tell his story to the young man who had never been out of the mountains in his life, and talk about the vast world outside the mountain. The young man would be fascinated by what he heard.
Just like when learning stele carvings, young men can learn the moves taught by men once they learn them.
A month later, the man's injury healed, and his father came back with the stones.
The next day, five gold medal detectives from the imperial court led a hundred people to surround the mason's hut and arrested the man with huge losses.
Only when the boy was pinned to the ground with a stick did he realize that the hero he had always admired was a killer
The imperial court offered a reward of 5,000 taels for his head. A month ago, the government sent heavy troops to the mountain to eliminate him. He was seriously injured and fled here in embarrassment. The government spent a lot of time investigating.
Just locked here.
The boy was young and escaped, but his father was imprisoned for hiding the bandit leader.
That autumn, the man was beheaded, his father died in prison, and the boy continued to work as a stonemason.
In his spare time, the young man began to practice calligraphy and reading. He wanted to know what he was carving, and what he had always believed in. He also practiced martial arts, practicing every move the man taught him thousands of times, not knowing whether he wanted to memorize it.
, or forget.
Fifty years later, several steles appeared among the people, shocking the world. Although the stone used for the inscriptions was rough, the writing on it, its writing, its intention, its realm, its power, its method, and its measure,
They are all unique in the world and unmatched in the world.
The old scholars in the capital who have studied inscriptions for generations assert that these inscriptions were definitely not carved with iron tools, but seemed to be written stroke by stroke with fingers!
It's a pity that the inscriptions are not signed, and no one knows who wrote or carved these inscriptions.
The young man became an old man, and the last monument he carved was his own tomb.
Just as he was writing the tombstone with his fingers, a voice came from behind:
"Such a wonderful handwriting, I'm afraid it will never be seen again."
"What do you want to do?"
"I would like to ask you to engrave a monument, an unprecedented monument.
"I would also like to ask you to leave a book, a book that can pass down your craftsmanship."
The speaker was a middle-aged man, wearing a black gown. In his arms, an iron abacus slept peacefully.
Zhou Shi pulled away from the complex memories as if he were surfacing, and slowly put down the Iron Abacus and "Stele Hand".
"It's that person again!"
The man who appeared in the memories of Duke Hu and Shovel Li! The former owner of Iron Abacus!
"He wants to carve an unprecedented monument... This is a clue to clarify the origin of the Iron Abacus and his identity, so as to find a way to overcome the curse of the Iron Abacus. Otherwise, I really only have less than a year to live...
"As long as the stele carved by the boy in my memory is discovered, it will definitely leave its name in history. I have to pay attention to the relevant information to see if there is such an inscription passed down to the world."
Only by seeing the stele carved by the young man "with your own eyes" can you understand the strangeness of the inscription. Zhou Shi felt that he would be able to recognize it at a glance.
"We'll talk about this later."
Zhou Shi's eyes returned to the "Stele Hand" spread out in front of him.
"This should be the book that the owner of Iron Abacus asked the young man to leave behind..."
"Stele Hand" only records three moves, but Zhou Shi discovered that these three moves are all martial arts with great room for development after being practiced to perfection!
The first position, the monument opening hand, mobilizes all the strength of the whole body to gather in the palm of the hand, and can break open the monument. The destructive power is not bad. If the internal strength is enough, you can even just put your hand on the surface of the stone to shatter it! Practice to the end
Dacheng can split stones and jade, and cut stubborn rocks as you like!
The second move, the Book Stele Hand, is also a move commonly used by teenagers. By pouring internal energy into the nails, you can write directly on the surface of the stone, making silver hooks and iron paintings, completely natural!
The third position, Monument Piercer, Zhou Shi believes that this is the most magical skill among the three Monument Shou positions.
By wearing the monument hand, you can let your hand pass through objects and take advantage of the mountains!
Going back to the back turn, there are some summarized methods for cultivating internal strength and strengthening muscles and bones.
This "Stele Hand" is really a treasure! Zhou Shi felt no sleepiness at all and immediately started practicing according to the records in "Stele Hand".
Unknowingly, the white color of fish belly appeared in the east.
The first business day after the return of Fengde Building Shopkeeper Zhou has arrived.
