Chapter 9: The Wonder of the Spirit Pattern

This time, Lian Rufeng took a group of guards to the Qingyang tribe three thousand miles away to exchange for shopping goods, and brought back some materials that the villagers urgently needed.

Soon, under Xiao Tianren's call, a group of villagers rushed to the ancestral hall in the village.

Lin Xun was also warmly invited, but he politely declined, he only arrived in Scarlet Cloud Village yesterday, and this kind of distribution of materials was not his turn.

......

At ten o'clock in the evening, the sunset was still shining.

Lin Xun sat casually under the cyan weeping willow in his courtyard, holding the pale blue short blade in his right hand, and was carving a piece of "stone pine silver wood".

Aggressive......

The sharp blade is like a spring silkworm spinning silk, with a delicate and precise force technique, the surface of the stone pine silver wood swims like a cloud, and the snowflake-like sawdust is sprinkled one after another, making a unique sound that is fine and rhythmic.

Lin Xun's palms are slender, broad, and fair, and a pale blue short blade is held by him at will, flying frequently like a butterfly wearing flowers, with a pleasing beauty.

For the apprentices of the spirit pattern, before learning the spirit pattern of seal carving, they must first exercise their power skills, which is naturally inseparable from the exercise of the ten fingers of both hands.

Whether the palm fingers are flexible and stable is the most critical part of the seal carving.

After all, the seal carving spirit pattern is not simply the seal carving of the spirit pattern one by one, but also needs to guide the spiritual power in the body, so as to manipulate and control the shade, thickness, light and shade of the spirit ink...... and the degree to which the spirit ink fits the spirit pattern.

Take the most basic "Aoki Spirit Pattern" as an example, if you want to engrave it, you need to prepare a seal pen, a dish of "Aoki Spirit Ink", and a pair of carriers.

The seal pen is a tool for outlining the spirit pattern, which is controlled by the spirit pattern master, and the operation and use of the seal pen is the flexibility and accuracy of the palm fingers.

It is worth mentioning that there are good and bad seal pens, good seal pens have a higher fit for spiritual ink and spiritual power, while inferior seal pens are the opposite.

Like the seal pen "Qingqiong Burning Gold" that was broken by Mr. Lu in Lin Xun's memory, it is an incomparably precious rare treasure with immeasurable value.

The spirit ink is the ink needed to outline the spirit pattern, and the spirit ink is generally smelted from various spirit materials, and different spirit ink has different unique powers.

The green wood spirit ink is made of "green wood incense", "white spirit leaf", "spirit mayfly blood", and "red warbler tears...... and other sixteen kinds of spiritual materials, according to different weights and proportions, were smelted by the spirit pattern master in the furnace, and finally condensed the essence power.

Using this spirit ink to engrave the "Aoki Spirit Pattern" is the best choice for both the fit and the chance of success.

The so-called "carrier" is the place where the seal needs to be engraved with the "Aoki spirit pattern", and generally speaking, this carrier must also be a "spiritual object".

For example, you can engrave a spirit pattern on a weapon, or you can engrave it on armor, or you can engrave it on utensils, such as houses, tea sets, chariots and horses...... And so on and so forth.

Like yesterday's Lin Xun's seal carving of the "light spirit pattern", his fingertips replaced the seal pen, and the spirit ink was the bone powder of the gold-devouring rat, and its "carrier" was the piece of spiritual field, which contained a trace of spiritual energy, which could naturally be regarded as a "spiritual object".

However, this kind of "light diversion spirit pattern" engraved in the spiritual field is too rough and shallow, and does not have a "spiritual power source", and can only be used once, and cannot be preserved forever.

The so-called "spiritual power source" is an item that continuously provides power for the "spiritual pattern", which can be a spiritual stone, a spiritual vein, or some other treasures rich in spiritual power.

In short, it seems that only a seal pen, a dish of spiritual ink, and a carrier are enough, but in fact, there are extremely complex and rigorous steps, which are by no means as simple as imagined.

And if you want to become a qualified spirit pattern master, it is even more difficult, which is why the identity and status of the spirit pattern master are so noble.

A long time ago, when he began to learn seal carving spirit patterns with Mr. Lu, Lin Xun became a spirit pattern apprentice.

Until now, he is still a spiritual pattern apprentice, and the reason why this is the case is that with Lin Xun's current cultivation and attainments, he can only skillfully engrave those basic spiritual patterns.

Of course, except for Mr. Lu, Lin Xun had never come into contact with any other spirit pattern masters, which made him unable to judge how far he had reached the level of spirit pattern carving.

In the past, Lin Xun had asked Mr. Lu more than once, and Mr. Lu's answer was always only one movement, shaking his head and sighing.

Shaking your head is a denial.

Sigh, a disappointment.

Negative and disappointed, you can imagine how many blows have been inflicted on Lin Xun over the years, fortunately, Lin Xun has never been discouraged, and he has gradually become accustomed to Mr. Lu's blows.

Even under this kind of blow, Lin Xun was stimulated with a ruthless energy every time, constantly competing with himself, but his level of carving spirit patterns continued to improve.

What does it mean to be more courageous the more frustrated?

That's it.

At this time, the twilight was heavy, and the setting sun sprinkled orange afterglow, dyeing the cyan weeping willows in the small courtyard with a magnificent luster.

The breeze blows, stirring thousands of wickers, graceful, rustling, quiet and leisurely.

The pale blue short blade in Lin Xun's palm continued to fly, and soon carved a lifelike image of an old man, his hair was unkempt, his face was wrinkled like a ravine, his posture was as thin as a bamboo, he stood with his hands in his hands, his head looked up at the sky slightly, and his eyes were full of unruliness.

This is the image of Mr. Deer.

Every inch of this wood carving is made of delicate and precise spiritual patterns, but there is no trace of spiritual patterns, and there is a condensed and clumsy taste that is integrated into one.

Staring at the image of the wood carving in his palm in a daze, Lin Xun was silent for a long time, and finally sighed silently, picked up the pale blue short blade again, and destroyed the wood carving inch by inch.

Then, Lin Xun stood up, his thin figure stood in the sunset, and a touch of firmness appeared on his delicate and slightly pale face.

People can't live in memories.

And to live, you have to keep looking forward!

When night fell, all the villagers of Scarlet Cloud Village received the necessary supplies one by one and returned from the ancestral hall.

Lin Xun keenly found that although the supplies were obtained, there was not much joy between the eyebrows of those villagers, but many of them looked frowning.

Even, a quarrel could be faintly heard coming from the direction of the ancestral hall in the village.

Lin Xun could hear that it seemed that the village chief Xiao Tianren and the head of the guard, Lian Rufeng, were arguing, but soon, the quarrel fell silent.

As the night grew darker and deeper, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded from the village, and gradually disappeared outside the village, into the vast night deep in the mountains.

"It seems that Lian Rufeng took advantage of the night to leave again......"

Lin Xun thought silently for a while, then turned around and returned to his room, and was about to meditate and cultivate as usual, when someone suddenly came to visit.

Bang bang bang!

There was a loud knock on the door, which seemed quite harsh and rude in the quiet of the night.
