I counted and found that there were a total of eighteen logs in the secret room. Each log could make a puppet. In the following days, I calmed down. Progress requires the accumulation of experience. Every time I complete a puppet, I will
Put it aside, summarize the shortcomings of this puppet, and then correct my mistakes in operation. It took me a full sixty days to complete all eighteen puppets. I looked at this row of puppets from front to back,
It was obvious that I was making progress every time. After reaching the last eighteen, I could no longer find any shortcomings, so I knocked on the door. The door opened and I walked out. As soon as I came out,
It's under the rockery in the backyard.
I got to the house, fell on the bed and slept. When I woke up, I found that bath water and clean clothes were ready. I took a bath, shaved, cut my hair, and dressed
I got dressed and walked outside. As soon as I came out, I saw my puppet standing outside the door. The puppet looked at me and smiled and said, "Master, I brought you the food!"
This is just the most basic puppet, limited to the performance level, but after putting on clothes like this, it still has some charm. I took the dinner plate and said: "Thank you!"
The puppet turned around and left with stiff steps, walking fairly steadily. Li Ke and Jing Shui walked over from the side and looked at the puppet's back.
Li Ke smiled and said: "I can't believe that you succeeded so quickly. It only took two months. Back then, I just made the most basic puppet, and it took three years. It took three years to achieve this effect. You
Very talented!”
I nodded and said, "Can I learn the next stage? Can I make metal dolls?"
Li Ke shook his head and said: "It's still far from enough!"
Then Li Ke gave me a book and said: "I am still making puppets, this time I am making more complex puppets. I have put the logs in the secret room, you can go."
He took me to the small courtyard at the back, and then he stretched out his hand to create a curtain of light, and then the door appeared. I nodded and walked in with the book in hand.
After entering, I opened the book. This book was more like a mechanical exploded view. It showed the complex structure of various dolls, as well as the shape and size of each part. I took a fancy to the production of a tiger.
, so we started taking action.
I pulled a log over and started to break it down with a saw. After doing it a few times, I looked at the puppets on the side, and then at the never-extinguishing fire. After appraising my confidence, I continued making.
There are 980 parts in the whole body of this tiger. The design of each part is very clever, which requires very fine design, processing and polishing to achieve.
I didn't dare to be careless this time. I knew that if I made the slightest mistake, it would mean failure. Three months later, I finally finished processing the last part, and then put the wood in a big pot for anti-corrosion treatment and finished it.
After that, I took it out and assembled it. After assembling it, I checked it over and found that there was no problem. Then I said to the puppet: "Bring the gourd and the charm."
"Yes, Master."
The puppet brought the gourd and the charm, and I gave the tiger a soul. The tiger suddenly came to life and started running around me. It jumped up and down without any problems. I knew that I had succeeded. Suddenly I
I breathed a sigh of relief. If I failed, it would mean that I would have to start over again in three months, which would severely damage my confidence!
I went to knock on the door, and the door opened, and I came out with the tiger. As soon as I came out, the tiger roared, and Li Ke's eyes widened. He said loudly: "How is that possible? You can do it in three months."
It came out? This, this is simply a miracle! It took me five years to make this machine! How could you do it in three months?"
I smiled and said, "I really worked hard at it. Maybe it was my hard work that made this work possible!"
Li Ke stepped forward, stretched out his left hand and touched the tiger and said: "It's so perfect. It's really so perfect. I never thought there would be such a skilled craftsman as you in the world. Come on, let me see your skillful hands!"
I stretched out my hands, he looked at them, nodded and said, "Okay, we can proceed to the next stage of exercise."
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the door to the front yard open. Someone was coming. I let the tiger into the house. It's better not to see people easily!
There were more than a dozen of these people. After entering, they walked directly through the hall and came to the backyard. The leader was wearing a gorgeous robe and had a golden hammer pattern made of gold wire on his chest.
This man has a dark complexion, his whole face is smaller than ordinary people, he has thin lips and an oval face shape, which makes him feel awkward no matter what!
Beside him, there were two people standing, Senior Sister Liu and Li Menglai. I immediately identified who this person was, he was Xingjid.
Senior Sister Liu and Li Meng were very surprised when they came to me. Senior Sister Liu said loudly: "Zhang Xiao, why are you here?"
Li Menglai looked at me and smiled and said: "We really meet each other everywhere in life. Why did you come to Wuqu City? I thought you went to the next session to enjoy the glory and wealth. By the way, your parents are in the underworld.
Why didn't you go? You are a monster from the Su family. You can live happily in the underworld. Your whole family is in the underworld, don't you miss them?"
Senior Sister Liu was stunned and said: "Junior Brother Li, you said Zhang Xiao is from the Su Mansion?"
Li Menglai nodded and said, "Yeah, what's wrong? Didn't I tell you?"
Senior Sister Liu said at this time: "Why did you just say such an important thing?"
Li Menglai pretended to slap his forehead and said: "Look at me, forget about this matter. By the way, I think Jun Moxie should vacate the Su Mansion. After all, the master is back."
I understand that Li Menglai is diverting his attention. He wants to drive a wedge between Jun Moxie and me so that he can have a chance to develop himself.
I smiled and said, "You'd better stop talking. I'm here to learn how to make puppets from Mr. Li. I'll learn a craft and then go back to the mortal world to build a puppet exhibition hall. I'll live a small life and no one will disturb anyone from now on."
Okay?"
Li Menglai would not believe what I said. He looked at me and smiled and said: "Okay, what Brother Zhang said is absolutely true. You are a mortal and you can go down if you want. But we immortals can't. If we want to go down, we have to apply for a passage order."
That's fine. Now that I think about it, it's better to be a mortal. At least I can come and go freely."
Xingjid laughed loudly at this time and said: "It seems that you all know each other, Li Ke, Mr. Li, we are really destined!"
