For the new home, the little things are curious. For her, many things in the Anthropocene realm are so new that everything has to be touched.

An inkstone caught her attention, she walked over, climbed onto the inkstone to look left and right, accidentally planted into the inkhole, and when she came out again, the whole person was black.

Tang Zheng saw that Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, the little thing was a little angry, shook his head, and the next moment the whole room was full of ink.

“...... Okay, count you ruthless!" Watching the speechless Tang Zai in the room full of black dots, he took the little guy out of the inkstone and was about to fetch water for her to bathe, but he saw that the little guy just waved his hand, and all the ink on his body had automatically dissipated, leaving only a white, tender and cute little face, grinning and looking at Tang Zao.

"Although the combat effectiveness is a little worse, there are a lot of tricks. Tang Zai touched her face and smiled: "Seeing that you are babbling, I will call you Yiyi in the future, okay?"

When the little thing heard that it had a name, it turned its head excitedly, and then nodded again and again.

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

"Babble!" Seeing that Tang Zheng was leaving, Yi Yi shouted anxiously.

Tang Zheng smiled: "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 flower pot honestly." ”

A moment later, Tang Zai entered the house with a large piece of wood.

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

Patting the quilt, Tang Zai said: "Okay, 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 am not there, but you can't go out casually." If someone comes, you'll have to turn into a flower and stay in a pot, so that no one can find you, do you know?"

The little one nodded, and it had turned into a small white flower, standing quietly in the pot.

"That's it!" Tang Zheng said with a smile.

The next moment, the little thing had changed back into a human form, and it threw itself into Tang Zheng's arms and became intimate with him.

After playing around for a while, the little guy seemed to be a little tired, and fell asleep directly in Tang Zao's heart. Tang Zai carefully put the green calyx into the hut and covered her with a quilt.

Then Tang Zheng sat alone on the edge of the bed and began to reflect on what had happened.

When he first met the green calyx, Tang Zaiguang thought about coaxing her, and when he really got it, Tang Zai realized that with the appearance of this little thing, there might be a lot of trouble in the future.

After carefully sorting out the problems that he might encounter, Tang Zheng thought about it in his heart, and gradually had an idea. Seeing that it was not early, Tang Zai took a look at the little guy who was sleeping peacefully, said "good night" softly, and then went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Tang Zai got up early, and after doing a good job in the garden, Tang Zai found some old roots, took a knife and began to cut on the roots, and after removing the excess branches and leaves, Tang Zai began to carve them on the roots one by one.

A little guy saw curiosity and asked Tang Zheng what he was doing, and Tang Zheng replied Gen Diao.

After a long time of relying on gardening to attract attention, Wei Tianchong's interest in gardening is not as high as before, and now Tang Zheng plans to rely on this eagle to regain Wei Tianchong's attention.

But the most important thing is that with this carved name, Tang Zheng can move a lot of wood into his house after the catastrophe, so that he can well cover up the nest made for small things and make it less abrupt. Although it is said that Tang Zai's hut rarely has guests, it is always necessary to be careful of accidents, and this will also help Tang Zai to enroll in school in the future.

If he goes to the academy, Tang Zheng will no longer be able to be a gardener, which means that he will lose the position he is good at, so Tang Zheng must find a way out for himself again.

Root carving is a good choice, this thing can be used wherever you go, digging a few pieces of wood is the material.

If you do it well, you can sell it for some money to supplement your family, and if you do it well, you can also give it as a gift - people with a skill are always more likely to be welcomed.

In addition, the root carving also has an effect on the cultivation of immortals, and there is a miscellaneous science called puppet art in the cultivation of immortals, through the cooperation of puppet production and refining arrays to form a mechanism with combat ability, which requires carving.

In fact, art has always had practical value in the cultivation of immortals, whether it is calligraphy, painting, sound, or carving, you can find a place to exert your value in the world of cultivating immortals.

For example, when Xu Muyang drew a horse with just a few strokes, and then cast a spell to make it live, it reflects his exquisite painting skills.

If you can't even draw a picture, the horse you draw is like a donkey, and even if you come back to life, it's just a joke.

As for the word, it is the basic need to draw symbols, if you write a law character, the words on it are crooked, appear out of thin air, a grinning "kill" word, I am afraid that the effect has not yet been played, first laugh off people's big teeth.

Therefore, in the colleges under the major immortal sects, in addition to the basic immortal arts, the content of qinqi, calligraphy and painting also exists, and it has practical significance-there are all kinds of goods in the world of cultivating immortals, but there are no illiterates.

Tang Zheng has been in Weifu for more than a year, except for the formation road, he has practiced writing and painting without anything, not seeking amazing attainments, at least he must be neat and decent. It is said that some students in the academy were unable to graduate because of the terrible liberal arts.

Tang Zheng didn't want to be unable to graduate because of the ugly words.

As for the current root carving, Tang Zheng is thinking about learning puppet art in the future, and also to integrate his knowledge of the formation path into it.

In addition to military formations, mountain guarding formations, alchemy, tools and puppet mechanisms almost all need to use formations, but the direction characteristics are different.

Xu Muyang is mainly good at the Heaven and Earth Great Array, and he is not too good at other types, but the truth is the same, and Tang Zheng can learn and study it by himself.

Tang Zheng is not interested in puppetry, but the basic carving ability it needs is the only thing that has anything to do with gardening at present, and other things such as practicing calligraphy and painting have nothing to do with gardening.

In addition, the puppet technique and the scientific and technological system of later generations are also relatively similar in the form of embodiment, and for Tang Zheng, this means that he may have more possibilities for development in this regard.

Although he can't do it now, there are still two years before he enters school, and two years is enough time for him to master this craft roughly.

The new trick really attracted Wei Tianchong's attention again - there are stone carvings in the Qixia realm, but root carvings are extremely rare.

Watching Tang Zheng turn over and fiddle with the trunk full of roots in his hand, making shapes one by one, Wei Tianchong felt so fresh that he even picked up an old tree root and learned it.

Tang Zheng taught him what to do with the roots.

Different from stone carving, the root carving has higher requirements in the selection of materials, and the carver needs to skillfully use the natural form of the material itself to produce, paying attention to "three points of artificial, seven points of nature". In addition, the real root carving pursues strange and strange shapes, generally growing in the roots of the plains, because of sufficient nutrients, fast growth, and loose wood fibers, it is difficult to form a peculiar form. Only the roots that grow in the harsh environment, such as the roots that grow in the back sun or in the crevices of cliffs, and survive tenaciously through lightning, fire, ant erosion, stone pressing, human trampling, and knife cutting, due to lack of light, lack of soil, lack of water, and lack of nutrients, they do not grow long and gradually deform. In addition, even before carving, the material needs to be processed in various ways.

But Tang Zheng is not pursuing art but practicality, so he doesn't need to care about these, but the root carving in his eyes is "seven points artificial, three points natural".

Art pays attention to the strange shape and rich imagination, while the puppet pays attention to simulation and realism, and reserves space for refining array carving, the two are similar in shape but different in quality.

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

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

Tang Zheng's artistic cells are obviously very limited, he can't meet any of the above conditions, he took a piece of wood and looked at it for a long time, and he didn't see anything famous, and finally dug out a small wooden man for a long time, the head accounted for more than one-third, and two thin short legs composed of roots and whiskers, how ugly it looked. If this thing is activated with a refining array to make it walk freely, it will most likely be a deformity, and it is estimated that it will fall to the ground in less than two steps.

In this regard, Tang Zheng could only sigh helplessly, comforting himself that he still had a preference for the formation path, and he couldn't expect everyone in the world to love him, but this plan seemed to be going bankrupt, and sure enough, no matter how well some plans were formulated, they couldn't do it without strong means of implementation.

Looking back at the side, I saw that the little young master Wei Tianchong was flying like a knife, holding a piece of disc-shaped raised tree root flying block and cutting, not too long, a little turtle has appeared in the palm of the hand, although this little turtle has a lot of flaws, but at least the structure is complete, and it doesn't look too out of shape.

Tang Zheng was stunned: "Have you studied before?"

He was so surprised that he didn't even shout at the young master.

"No, it's the first time, it's interesting. Wei Tianchong looked at his work and admired it.

"Genius......" Tang Zheng groaned weakly.

I never dreamed that Wei Tianchong would have this talent.

——————————————

From this day on, Wei Tianchong followed Tang Zheng to play root carving every day.

is different from Tang Zheng's "favored by the Formation Dao", this little young master really loves carving, which is completely in line with what Xu Muyang said: If you have love, you have talent.

At first, Wei Tianchong was a little worried that his mother would teach him a lesson about his playthings after knowing this, but later he heard Tang Zheng say that this was also one of the foundations of cultivating immortals, so he was no longer afraid to indulge in root carving every day.

Sure enough, after the wife heard about this, she went to consult the Lu Lingshi, and after confirming that it was correct, she just said, "Don't miss other lessons", and never took care of her son again.

For her, it doesn't matter which path her son Xiuxian takes, the important thing is that he finally has his own pursuit and makes efforts for it, so he appreciates Tang Zheng more and more.

Those who can make their children improve are good people!

Tang Zheng's mood during this period was becoming more and more depressed.

With the increase of carving time, Wei Tianchong's level in root carving has improved by leaps and bounds, at first he could only carve some small wooden gadgets, but in only a few months, Wei Tianchong has already begun to carve the entire section of the trunk to carve a big guy as tall as a person.

A few months later, Wei Tianchong's first large-scale wood carving was completed, which was a white-fronted giant tiger with hanging eyes, carved lifelike.

Tang Zheng had no doubt that if it was paired with the right refining array, it would turn into a real man-devouring tiger.

Watching Wei Tianchong put his first large-scale work in the flower garden and decorate it with petals, proudly allowing others to watch, Tang Zheng quietly crushed the big-headed doll-like puppet in his hand.

My heart is broken.
