Little things are curious about their new home. For her, many things in the human world are so new that she has to touch everything.

An inkstone attracted her attention. She walked over, climbed onto the inkstone, looked left and right, accidentally fell into the ink pool, and then came out black.

Tang Jie laughed. The little thing was angry and shook his head. The next moment, the whole room was full of ink.

"Well, you're cruel!" looking at the silent Tang Jie in the rooms all over the black spots, he took the little guy out of the inkstone and was about to fetch water for her to take a bath, but he saw that the little guy just waved his hand. All the ink in his body had dissipated automatically, leaving only a white, tender and lovely face. He smiled and watched Tang Jie.

"Although the combat effectiveness is poor, there are a lot of tricks." Tang Jie touched her face and said with a smile: "look at your babbling, I'll call you Yiyi in the future, okay?"

When the little thing heard that he had a name, he turned a somersault excitedly, and then nodded again and again.

"Well, stay here honestly." Tang Jie said and went out.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Tang Jie said with a smile, "don't worry. I'm not leaving. I'm just going to make a nest for you. I guess you don't like to live in a flowerpot honestly."

A moment later, Tang Jie came into the house with a big piece of wood.

He hollowed out the wood, stuffed cotton in it, sewed a small pillow and quilt with cloth, and hung a curtain at the hole, which became a small wooden house.

Patting the quilt, Tang Jie said, "well, from now on, this is your nest. You can sleep here if you have nothing to do in the future. You can play in the house when I'm away, but you can't go out casually. If someone comes, you have to turn into flowers and stay in the flowerpot. You can't be found, you know?"

The little guy nodded, turned into a small white flower and stood quietly in the basin.

"That's it!" Tang Jie laughed.

At the next moment, the little thing had changed back to human shape. He rushed into Tang Jie's arms and became intimate with him.

After playing for a while, the little guy seemed a little tired and slept directly in the palm of Tang Jie's hand. Tang Jie carefully put the green calyx into the hut and covered her with a quilt.

Then Tang Jie sat alone by the bed and began to reflect on what had happened.

When he first met green calyx, Tang Jiaguang wanted to coax her into his hand. When he really got there, Tang Jiaguang realized that there might be a lot of trouble behind with the emergence of this little thing.

After carefully sorting out the possible problems, Tang Jie planned in his mind and gradually had an idea. Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Jie looked at the little guy who was sleeping peacefully and said "good night" softly, so he went to sleep.

The next morning, Tang Jie got up early. After doing a good job in the garden, Tang Jie found some old tree roots and began to cut them with a knife. After removing the redundant branches and leaves, Tang Jie began to carve them on the tree roots one by one.

A young man was curious and asked Tang Jie what he was doing. Tang Jie answered root carving.

For a long time, Wei Tianchong's interest in gardening is not as high as before. Now Tang Jie plans to use this carving to attract Wei Tianchong's attention again.

But the most important thing is that with this famous carving, after the Tang robbery, you can move a lot of wood into your house. In this way, you can well cover up the nest made for small things and make it less abrupt. Although it is said that few guests come to Tang Jie's cabin, we must be careful of accidents, and it will also help Tang Jie to enter school in the future.

After going to the college, Tang Jie can no longer be a gardener, which means that he will lose his position. Therefore, Tang Jie must find a way for himself again.

Root carving is a good choice. It can be used wherever you go. Digging a few pieces of wood is the material.

If you do well, you can sell some money to supplement your family. If you do well, you can also give it as a gift - people with professional skills are always more popular.

In addition, root carving is also useful for cultivating immortals. In cultivating immortals, there is an acrobatic skill called puppetry. Through the cooperation of puppet making and refining array, mechanism people with combat ability are formed, among which carving is used.

In fact, art has always had practical value in the cultivation of immortals. No matter words, paintings, sounds and carvings, they can find a place to give play to their value in the cultivation of immortals.

For example, Xu Muyang drew a horse with only a few strokes, and then cast spells to make it survive, which reflects his exquisite painting art.

If you can't even draw well, the horse you draw is like a donkey. Even if you live, it's just a joke.

As for words, it is the basic need of pictorial symbols. If you write a legal character, the words on it will be crooked and appear out of thin air. A grinning "kill" word will laugh off people's big teeth before the effect is brought into play.

Therefore, in the colleges set up by the major immortal sects, in addition to the basic immortal skills, the contents of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting also exist and have practical significance - there are all kinds of goods in the immortal cultivation world, that is, illiterate.

Tang Jie has been in the Wei mansion for more than a year. In addition to array Taoism, he practices writing and painting when he has nothing to do. He doesn't want amazing attainments, but at least he should be neat and decent. It is said that some students in the college can't graduate even after they enter Xianmen because their liberal arts are too bad.

Tang Jie doesn't want to be unable to graduate for the reason that the words are ugly.

As for the present root carving, Tang robbery is to consider learning puppet art in the future, and also to integrate his array knowledge into it.

In fact, array Dao is a wide range of knowledge. In addition to military array and mountain guarding array, array is almost needed for alchemy, weapon making and puppet mechanism, but the direction and characteristics are different.

Xu Muyang is mainly good at the heaven and earth array. He is not very good at other types, but the truth is the same. Tang Jie can learn and study by himself.

Tang Jie is not interested in puppetry, but his basic carving ability is the only thing that has something to do with gardening. Other things such as calligraphy and painting have nothing to do with gardening. If he wants to do this at work, the Wei family will never praise him for his ambition.

In addition, puppetry is similar to the scientific and technological system of later generations in form. For the Tang robbery, it means that it may have more development possibilities in this regard.

Although he can't root carving now, he still has two years to go before he enters school. Two years is enough for him to master the craft.

The new pattern really attracted Wei Tianchong's attention again - there are stone carvings in Qixia world, but root carvings are very rare.

Watching Tang Jie toss and turn the tree trunk full of roots in his hand and make shapes, Wei Tianchong felt fresh and picked up an old tree root to learn.

Tang Jie taught him how to deal with these roots.

Different from stone carving, root carving requires high material selection. Carvers need to skillfully make use of the natural form of the material itself. What they pay attention to is "three manual, seven natural". In addition, the real root carving pursues strange shapes. Generally, the roots growing in the plain are difficult to form strange shapes because of sufficient nutrients, fast growth and loose wood fibers. Only the roots that grow in harsh environment, such as growing in the back of the sun or in the stone cracks of cliffs, and survive tenaciously through thunder splitting, fire burning, ant erosion, stone pressing, human stepping and knife cutting, lack soil, water and nutrients due to insufficient light, and gradually deform for a long time. In addition, even before carving, it is also necessary to carry out various treatments on the materials.

But Tang Jie's pursuit is not art but practicality, so he doesn't need to care about all these. In his eyes, the root carving is "seven artificial and three natural".

The art pays attention to strange shapes and rich imagination. The puppet pays attention to simulation and realism, and reserves space for array engraving. The two are similar in shape but different in quality.

But either way, it's not easy to do.

Sculpture itself is a highly comprehensive art, which not only requires artists to have strong carving skills and art appreciation ability, but also requires certain painting details.

Tang Jie's artistic cells are obviously very limited. He can't meet any of the above conditions. He took a piece of wood for a long time and didn't see anything famous. Finally, he cut for a long time and finally dug out a small wooden man. His head accounts for more than one third. Two thin and short legs composed of roots are ugly. If this thing is activated by refining array so that it can walk freely, it is mostly a deformed child. It is estimated that it will fall to the ground without two steps.

In this regard, Tang Jie can only sigh helplessly and comfort himself. At least there is a preference for the array road. We can't expect all the roads in the world to love ourselves, but the plan seems to be going bankrupt. Sure enough, no matter how well some plans are formulated, they can't be implemented without powerful means.

Looking back, I saw that the young master Wei Tianchong was cutting like a flying knife with a disk-shaped raised tree root flying block. Before long, a little turtle had appeared in the palm of his hand. Although the little turtle had many defects, at least its structure was complete and didn't look too out of shape.

Tang Jie was stunned: "have you studied before?"

He was so surprised that even the young master stopped shouting.

"No, this is the first time. It's very interesting." Wei Tianchong looked at his work and appreciated it.

"Genius..." Tang Jie groaned feebly.

I never dreamed that Wei Tianchong would have this talent.

From that day on, Wei Tianchong played root carving with Tang Jie every day.

Different from Tang Jie's "being favored by the array Taoist priest", the young master really likes carving, which is completely in line with Xu Muyang's saying that love has talent.

At first, Wei Tianchong was worried that his mother would teach him to play with things and lose heart when she knew about it. Later, Tang Jie said that this was also one of the foundations of cultivating immortals, so he indulged in root carving every day.

Sure enough, when she heard about it, she went to consult the master LV Ling. After confirming that it was correct, she just said "don't miss other classes", so she never took care of her son again.

For her, it doesn't matter which way her son Xiuxian takes. What matters is that he finally has his own pursuit and makes efforts for it. Therefore, he appreciates Tang Jie more and more.

Good people can make their children progress!

Tang Jie's mood during this period is getting more and more depressed.

With the increase of carving time, Wei Tianchong's level of root carving has improved by leaps and bounds. At first, he can only carve some small wooden gadgets, but in only a few months, Wei Tianchong has begun to carve a big guy as tall as a man with the whole trunk.

A few months later, Wei Tianchong's first large-scale wood carving was completed. It was a giant tiger with hanging eyes and white forehead, and the carving was lifelike.

Tang Jie has no doubt that if equipped with a suitable refining array, it will become a real human devouring tiger.

Watching Wei Tianchong put his first large-scale work in the flower bed decorated with petals, Tang Jie quietly crushed the big doll like puppet in his hand.

My heart is broken.
