Volume 1 Chapter 5 The Significance of Sculpture

Everyone in the hall looked at this scene with cold eyes, turned around and went about their own business.

"Butler Wei, please don't be surprised. I am a new apprentice who has never seen the world. I was frightened when I saw a big shot like Mr. Wei."

Looking at Xu Tuzi who kept smiling apologetically in front of him, and Jiang Yun behind him who was beaten by Xu Tuzi and kept his head down silently. Butler Wei's expression did not change at all, "Haha, everyone comes from young people. Shopkeeper Xu Tu's words are serious.

.”

After revealing it in an understatement, he asked, "Where do you need to start arranging this eight-pole light array? I will show you the way."

The two parties had a tacit understanding to bypass the topic around Jiang Yun.

"Let's start from the center of the entire house." Xu Tuzi said after observing for a while.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Butler Wei pointed to the small lake in the middle of the courtyard and said slowly, "The center of the entire courtyard... that should be the center of the lake."

The small lake is located somewhere in the middle courtyard, not far from the living room.

The entire lake is small in area, the water is clear, and it is very artistic under the embellishment of the surrounding rocks.

The three of them came closer to take a closer look. Butler Wei said with a smile, "Since this is a newly purchased house, there are no fish or shrimps in the pond. The Taoist Priest can use it as he wishes."

Hearing this, Xu Tuzi reached into his Taoist robe and took out a dark brown array plate with eight sides from his waist.

There are eight small dragons on the array plate, and the color of the dragon's body is light brown and golden. There are eight different array patterns on the soles of the eight dragons' feet, and the array patterns are all golden.

The strange thing is that none of the eight little dragons have eyes.

I saw Xu Tuzi slowly injecting spiritual energy, and the entire formation disk was immediately activated, and the formation patterns at the feet of the eight dragons suddenly glowed goldenly.

Immediately, all this golden light was actually injected into the bodies of the eight little dragons! These golden lights gathered in the little dragons' bodies, and finally converged into the eyes, forming pairs of golden light dragon eyes!

All the dragon bodies shook suddenly, and then the golden light in their eyes turned into golden threads in the void and went in all directions.

After a few breaths, the eight silk threads returned to the longan again.

Xu Tuzi put away the array, nodded slightly, and waved to Jiang Yun.

"Wooden box."

At this time, Jiang Yun had completely come to his senses and was thankful that Xu Tuzi had helped him hide the past.

He is a smart man and knows that he is now a fugitive. If the news is leaked and his true identity is discovered by the underground network, it will not only happen to him, but also to Yiyi and the others.

So I quickly tightened the wooden box and took a few steps forward to put it down and open it.

The wooden box is divided into two layers. The upper layer contains talisman pens, urn paper, and ink mixed with spirit sand and animal blood. The lower layer contains more than ten palm-width and high formation bases. Each formation base has two to three small holes.

Only the middle one, which is relatively large, has eight small holes.

Xu Tuzi put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand tightly together and pointed at the base of the eight-hole array.

A faint spiritual energy rippled through nothingness, flowing from Xu Tuzi's fingertips. Under the control of the spiritual energy, the formation base slowly floated up and flew from the wooden box to the center of the pool.

Finally, it hovered steadily over the pool.

"Let's go. My spiritual energy is not enough to keep it in the air for too long. We must quickly arrange and connect other formations." Xu Tuzi did not delay at all and walked towards the gate of the house without saying a word.

While walking on the road, Xu Tuzi said to Jiang Yun, "I could have stood directly in the middle courtyard and laid out the formation bases of all parties. This is to demonstrate it to you personally. You must pay attention to watch and don't get distracted again!"

"yes!"

Jiang Yun quickly responded.

When he arrived at the gate, Xu Tuzi used the same method to take out a three-hole array base and placed it at the gate.

The moment the formation base was arranged, Xu Tuzi suddenly injected spiritual energy into the formation base. Suddenly, the three holes of the three-hole formation base emitted a faint light towards the center of the house and the east and west sides.

Jiang Yun and the accompanying Butler Wei now understood that the faint light emitted from the small holes in the formation base was the link connecting them.

"The distance is not enough."

Xu Tuzi suddenly said, "The gate is more than fifty meters away from the central formation base. We must add a formation base in the middle."

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Butler Wei.

After all, adding a formation base is equivalent to ten gold cakes. The specific price depends on the customer's consideration.

Butler Wei, who still had a calm expression on his face, still smiled lightly and said, "Master Xu Tu, please do it. The price is not an issue."

Xu Tuzi looked at him doubtfully, price is not an issue? Then why did you choose the Eight-pole Light Array? There are so many good arrays, but you just chose a cheaper one.

It’s so outrageous that you opened the door for outrageousness!

In a large area like Jingyu District, there are several large-scale formation shops, all of which are top shops backed by formation sects or cultivating families.

This person did not choose those who are the leaders in the industry, but chose his own shop, which is in the middle and lower reaches of the industry, and he also chose something like the eight-pole light array that is gorgeous but flashy.

Are you sure you're not trying to make a fool of yourself?

However, it was the uncle who sent money to the door, and Xu Tuzi only cared about making money and didn't bother to pay attention to these things.

After Butler Wei ordered a group of guards to guard the formation at the entrance, the three of them followed the light shining into the lake. As expected, Jiang Yun discovered that the light did not extend any further fifty meters away.

Xu Tuzi used the same method to raise a two-hole formation base again.

The formation base is like a bridge. One end connects the light coming from the gate, and the other end extends the light again and successfully shoots into the interior of the formation base on the lake.

One of the eight holes has been lit, and all that is left is to go to the other seven directions of the courtyard, place and activate the array bases in other directions in turn. Anyway, the array patterns in each array base have been drawn in advance by Xu Tuzi.

Butler Wei, who was accompanying him, could not learn any key points.

As for the formation pattern, it is the lifeblood of every formation master, and naturally there is a series of protection procedures.

Only a strong person who is stronger than Xu Tuzi's formation can break it. But if he is stronger than Xu Tuzi, why bother to ink this formation pattern.

A few hours later, it was almost noon.

The three of them gathered by the small lake again, and the eight-hole formation base received all the light beams from eight directions. Xu Tuzi injected a spiritual energy into the central formation base, and immediately, all the light beams began to spread in all directions, forming a colorful light curtain, covering

The whole house.

At the same time, all the formation bases slowly sank downwards, becoming nothing while sinking.

Everything returned to normal, and the entire sky was the same as before.

Xu Tuzi took out four jade pendants from the wooden cabinet and handed them to Butler Wei, "These four jade pendants are the keys to the formation. The largest one is the main key, and the other three are sub-keys. They can all open and close the formation."

If you lose the key later, you can come to the formation shop to purchase a supplement."

Butler Wei took the four jade pendants and put them away absently.

"Master Lin."

Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently spotted a figure not far away, and took a closer look to see that it was Master Lin who had just come with him. Butler Wei greeted Master Lin who was walking away quickly with his head lowered.

Master Lin, who raised his head after hearing the sound, immediately came along. No matter what, this Steward Wei is a figure above one person and cannot be offended!

As he got closer, Jiang Yun realized that the originally energetic Master Lin was sweating profusely and his expression was full of helplessness.

He said nervously while wiping his sweat, "Steward Wei, please say a few kind words for Lin in front of the master later. Don't break our friendship because of this incident."

Butler Wei rolled his eyes and whispered thoughtfully, "Master Woodcarver is not satisfied?"

Master Lin didn't care at all about the two people next to him, Xu Tuzi. He cupped his fists and apologized, "Master Wei still feels that he lacks charm and his abilities are limited. It's really...sigh."

"I understand, I understand, Master Lin, don't be depressed."

As a housekeeper, Butler Wei does everything smoothly than anyone else.

He immediately offered a few words of comfort, and then called for his servants to order, "Prepare a carriage to take Master Lin back home."

Master Lin left slowly after being comforted by Butler Wei again and again.

Turning around, Butler Wei smiled and said to Xu Tuzi, "I've kept you waiting for a long time, Shopkeeper Xu Tu. Now that the arrangement of the formation is completed, let's go to the master to settle the bill now."

The three of them returned to the living room and when they entered, Jiang Yun found Mr. Wei sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, and a maid behind him was gently massaging his temples.

The five wood carvings on the table still remain the same. Obviously, Master Lin did not repair the fragrant wood.

When he noticed the three people coming in, he squinted his eyes and then closed them gently.

"Master, the formation is ready." The butler said softly.

Mr. Wei waved his hand, indicating not to disturb him.

The butler immediately understood that the master might not be in a good mood, so he whispered, "You two, please sit quietly for a while, and I will go get the reward."

After that, leave quickly.

Xu Tuzi found a stool and sat down, Jiang Yun stood beside him.

But Jiang Yun's eyes were always fixed on the five wooden sculptures on the table, and memories came to his mind again.

Recalling the time when my father taught me stone carving and my mother taught me wood carving, in the beginning, even if my mother taught me step by step, the finished wooden figures they carved were always crooked, grinning, and dancing with demons.

At this time, my mother would always take the little figure and carve it slightly to make amends.

In the end, the little wooden man will stand gracefully in front of Jiang Yun again.

Jiang Yun loved wood carving very much and was very talented, so he learned very quickly. Later, he could easily carve the objects he wanted, but he still missed the days when his mother helped him repair the wooden figures the most.

For him, wood carving and stone carving are more than just carving a vivid object.

It also carries his childhood and every moment of his father and mother's interactions with him. These things are what Jiang Yun wants to keep in his mind and engraved in his bones forever.

"Master Wei..."

Inexplicable courage rushed to his throat, and Jiang Yun spoke slightly excitedly.

Next to him, Xu Tuzi and Mr. Wei who were enjoying the massage were stunned at the same time. They looked at each other and turned their attention to Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun's eyes were filled with indescribable emotions at this moment, and he spoke seriously.
