Li Ke and I high-fived each other and reached a consensus. It was obvious that Li Ke had not been so happy for a long time and insisted on cooking some dishes to celebrate.
After he went to the kitchen, Jing Shui breathed out and said: "Zhang Xiao, I always thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless. You learned other people's crafts and even took their dragon beads. In the end, you were still a
The old man begged you to learn his craft, and you are doing him a favor. Tell me, what is the truth behind this?"
I couldn't help but smile and said: "Maybe this is the charm of personality!"
After we had eaten and drank enough, Li Ke arranged two rooms for us, and we stayed here. Early the next morning, Li Ke and I went into the secret room.
That's fine, I must learn this craft quickly.
The first thing I learned was basic skills, familiarity with tools, material selection, drawing, how to carve, etc. It was all about puppet making procedures. I sighed and said, "Master Li, let's not learn this puppet anymore. Let's go directly to the high school."
It’s difficult!”
Li Ke insisted that I make puppets, saying that making puppets is the foundation of all puppets, and only by laying a solid foundation can we accumulate a lot.
There were a lot of things that I needed to do, but I got stuck here. I had no choice but to start learning how to make puppets with Li Ke. A log was placed in front of me, and I followed what Li Ke said.
The essentials, bit by bit carving, and various mechanisms for making puppets.
It is very meaningful to calm down and do something. I was very impetuous at the beginning, but once I got started, I started to get involved and started to study seriously.
Master Li carefully guided me. After three days, I actually made a puppet. This puppet is the simplest. The body is divided into several parts, and the arms and legs are divided into three sections. This is the most difficult one, the head.
It is one part. The torso is separated from the waist. It is two parts. Added together, it costs fifteen pieces in total. After finishing it, Li Ke asked me to polish and wax the puppet, then bake and color it. Finally, the most important thing is
Yes, it's enchantment.
He took out a gourd and poured out an energy ball from the gourd. There was a soul imprisoned in this energy ball. It looked like the soul of a small animal. He took a black talisman and put the soul into the talisman.
, then put the talisman on the top of the puppet's head, stretched out his left hand, and pressed the top of his head. The soul directly entered the puppet's body, and the puppet slowly opened its eyes.
Then he started walking on the ground. After taking two steps, he fell to the ground, his limbs kicked around on the ground, and he couldn't get up again.
Li Ke looked at me and said: "Failure, look at the puppet that serves you tea. It is the simplest puppet. I made it with one arm. It is countless times stronger than the one you made. When can you
Let’s move on to the next step after making a walking doll that won’t fall over!”
I knew that I wouldn’t be able to get out of this place for a few years. It seemed that I was completely trapped this time, and I wasn’t a person who gave up easily. I looked at it and nodded and said, “Okay, maybe I know where I am.
Something went wrong, the arms are too long, the legs are too short, and the head is too big.”
Li Ke snorted coldly and said: "I don't even know whether the puppet you made is a boy or a girl. Does a man have such a big butt? If it's a woman, where are the breasts?"
After saying that, he snorted, put the gourd in his hand on the shelf, threw down three black charms, and said: "Master, lead me in. Cultivation is a personal matter. You can explore it yourself. I'll go out to get some fresh air first and fix it."
When it's time, knock on the door a few times and I will open the door." After saying that, he went out through the door in the painting. Two days later, when Jing Shui came to deliver food to me, I got the news that Li Meng was coming.
He has also come to Wuqu City, what is he doing here?
Jing Shui took out the food and said: "Your senior sister Liu brought him here. Li Menglai has good fire attributes. Liu Jingru didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into Xinjide, and she accepted Li Menglai as a disciple. It is said that Li Menglai is very good in this aspect."
He is so talented that even the puppet-making guild was alerted, and the leader personally came to participate in the ceremony for Xingid to accept his disciples!"
I snorted coldly and said: "This kid talks about people and ghosts, so he is naturally lovable. The most important thing is that he is really smart!"
Jing Shui smiled and said: "I rarely hear you praise anyone. This Li Menglai is not simple. It seems that things have become complicated. Everyone is fighting for Xingjid. Why do I think something big is going to happen!"
I didn't say anything. After finishing my meal, I turned around and went to carve my doll. Jing Shui came over and asked, "Who are you carving? It's so ugly! Is this a woman?"
I snorted coldly and said, "This is my girlfriend Li Zhen!"
After I finished speaking, I continued carving, and she felt embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know, I was just joking. In fact, your carving is quite beautiful."
After saying that, she stuck out her tongue naughtily, packed up the food and walked out. After walking a few steps, she said: "Zhang Xiao, I'm counting on you, you can't let me down!"
I nodded and said, "I will never leave you alone. I still have some feelings for you. Don't worry, I'm not a person who breaks my word."
After Jing Shui left, I lowered my head and started to carve it out in detail, starting from the most basic ones. At the beginning, I thought it was not difficult. After I started doing it, I realized how difficult it is. All it takes is one knife.
If you remove an extra piece, the doll will have flaws, and there is no way to remedy them.
I had to concentrate. After another three days, I carved Xiaozhen. After going through a set of procedures, the puppet was already lifelike, but it looked a little worse than Xiaozhen. The expression was wrong, and the puppet's smile was too rigid.
Looking at the figure, hands and feet, there shouldn't be any major problems. It seems that there is only one more knife mark on one arm. The knife was used here too heavily.
I followed the method Master Li gave me and after enchanting the doll, the doll immediately opened its eyes, looked at me, and walked sideways. It was fine after taking a few steps, but when it turned around,
The body immediately fell to the ground, but the doll would get up on its own, but still fell down after getting up!
I sighed. I knew in my heart that I failed again. It looked similar, but had no charm. There was also a knife mark on the arm, which affected the overall performance of the doll.
I had to be careful and careful, and there must not be any flaws. I had to smash the doll, pick up a new log, erect it, and start all over again.
