Chapter 15 Luban Axe
The main reason why the little carpenter dared to increase the price on the spot so surely was that the pattern on the other party's paintings came from the other party's pattern.
Kowloon pulling the coffin.
What is "Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin"? As the name suggests, it is literally directly understood, which means that nine dragons pull a coffin. However, according to the records in the "Lu Ban Complete Book", the case of Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin first appeared on the murals of Xia Ruins of the Tang Dynasty. The Xuanyuan family ascended on the yellow dragon.
This thing means "extremely evil". It is not incarnated by the way of heaven, and the fortune of the true dragon emperor cannot bear it.
If it is cast and carved on the coffin, basically anyone who is used to bury anyone will be directly crushed by the powerful aura potential energy and cannot be reborn.
This is annihilation of ashes.
However, if a strong man can suppress this power of luck and lose his soul, he will be like Xuanyuan ascends on a yellow dragon and goes straight to the nine heavens and achieves the immortal fruit position.
Of course, this is just a record in the book, and this record is just a rumor and should not be true.
However, no matter what, the little carpenter knew the significance of carving the relief of "Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin" on this coffin. Although he also knew that the relief was just the foundation, if he wanted to complete the legendary ritual, there must be many means, but this wood carving still carries the foundation of all rituals.
If it can match the specifications on the drawings and is even rich in spirit, it will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort for the next plan.
That's why the little carpenter increased the price without hesitation. After all, it was a painstaking effort.
When Na Fu heard this, he was not angry, but laughed, thinking that the little carpenter had real skills, so he agreed directly.
But he still mentioned, saying that if things are done badly and the work is not good, don’t say you don’t pay, you will have to beat them up and get them out.
The little carpenter is full of confidence in his craftsmanship, and now he boasts about it, saying that it is a mule or a horse, and you will know it if you take it out for a walk.
After saying this, he discussed the drawings with the Taoist.
After some communication, he took the other party's request to heart, and then came to the wood of the coffin lid.
This material is golden nanmu, which is one of the best materials for making coffins. The little carpenter had seen a piece of it in Jiange before.
But this portion has a few levels of quality, which is simply the best in the world.
A tree grows into such a material. I don’t know how many wind, rain and snow have experienced, and time has tempered it to have such charming quality.
After looking at it, the little carpenter turned around and spoke to the dissatisfied Master Qi, "My axe is just as craftsmanship and the iron mouth is not good. I saw that your axe is specially made. Can you use it for me?"
Master Qi was unwilling to borrow it, but when he saw the Fu Manager next to him staring at him, he did not refuse and reluctantly handed the axe to the little carpenter.
The little carpenter held the axe in his hand, weighed the sharp steel-mouthed axe, and praised: "Not bad."
The disciples around Master Qi couldn't help but say, "That's right, my master went to Hankou Steel Factory to find someone to make it. It was absolutely sharp. Later, I even asked someone to bless me, and I was peeling iron like mud..."
The little carpenter glanced at him, grinned, showed her white teeth, and then said, "So...
Before he could finish his words, he raised his axe and slashed it on the wooden board.
Dong, Dong, Dong...
The little carpenter took action and did not treat the precious golden nanmu as a treasure at all. He went down with an axe and another axe, and it was like chopping firewood in the countryside.
When others saw it, they thought it was a waste of resources. When the Fu Manager saw it, he couldn't help but feel panic, thinking that he might have read it wrong.
That pretty good piece of golden nanmu really would be ruined like this and affect the plan. Will he not be able to tear the master apart when he turns around?
Manager Fu kept sucking the cold air. Seeing the axe in the little carpenter's hand rise and fall, the wood chips flew, and his heart twitched. Just when he was about to be tense and was about to come forward to stop him, he heard another person next to him sucking the cold air and shouted in a low voice: "This, is this the legendary Luban axe?"
Manager Fu heard Master Qi’s expression as if he had seen a ghost, and hurriedly asked, “Luban Axe? What does it mean?”
Master Qi had put away his contempt expression and said seriously: "Don't get me wrong. Luban axe is not a means of practice. It is a saying in our carpenter construction industry, or realm. It is said that people who practice Luban axe are light and can be broken down into countless data and structures in his eyes. Every time he swung it, he had already thought about it before he started. He almost didn't have to stop to observe and judge it, and he did it in one go, just like the Luban immortal master back then, and he had the means to understand the magic... "
After hearing this, General Manager Fu asked carefully: "What do you mean is this person's skills, isn't it bad?"
Master Qi said with a flushed face: "It's not just not bad, it's simply a magical one - then the manager, the person you found is so amazing. My God, I didn't expect that in my lifetime, it would be in vain to see this skill..."
His eyes were filled with admiration, and the Fu Manager suddenly became proud and teased, "How about it, isn't you going to get upset this time?"
Master Qi hurriedly apologized, and Na Fu saw that the little carpenter was devoted to the work in his hands, and the board had begun to show its prototype. As Master Qi said, it was a real skill, so he felt relieved.
He explained a few words to Master Qi, then turned around and left the shed.
The little carpenter was unaware of Na Fu's departure. After he used the axe to roughly finish the prototype of the coffin lid, he changed the tools, used files, carved knives, etc., and began to refine the shape. When Master Qi saw his real skills, he had no complaints. He followed with his two apprentices.
The little carpenter gave whatever he wanted, he was so thrilling and very serious.
The project volume is much larger than a simple portrait wood carving. It took the little carpenter about half an hour to finish the overall rough embryo and come back to his senses. Only then did he realize that the blessing had left.
He didn't care, so he chatted with the Taoist for a while and began to carry out detailed processing.
This is the real essence. The little carpenter devoted himself to the whole process without saying a word, and the overall shape began to show initial results through his polishing bit by bit.
It was almost the second half of the night, the lid of the coffin was almost completed, and the exquisite relief of the dragon head seemed to appear vividly and was about to come out.
When others saw it, they were amazed at it. Even the Taoist who kept saying that he was very strict was suppressed.
The group of people in the entire shed even faintly felt the sound of a dragon roaring around their ears. At the beginning, they thought it was just their own auditory hallucinations, but after communication, they found that everyone had the same feeling.
This is amazing, this is really amazing.
When the little carpenter prepared one of the dragon's eyes, Master Qi looked at it carefully, feeling as if his soul was sucked in, and he was so scared that he screamed.
Everyone felt that the dragons carved by the little carpenter were like they really existed in the world.
The effect is much stronger than expected.
They were all surprised, but they didn't know that the reason why the little carpenter was able to make such a vivid dragon-shaped wood carving was not only his exquisite craftsmanship, but also a very important reason.
That was the incarnation of a dragon spirit hidden in his chest.
He has seen a real dragon.
The Nine Dragon Coffin is a whole, with the body of the coffin and the lid connected to the coffin, and finally appeared. When the carpenter made it almost the same, others looked at it carefully and saw that the skill was as high as the clouds.
Master Qi felt a little embarrassed and felt ashamed of himself.
Fortunately, the little carpenter had already considered it thoroughly. After finishing the coffin lid, he began to modify the relief of the coffin itself.
His hands and the carving knife in his hand were like gold fingers that turned into gold. He didn't see how he moved, but just cut it lightly on the relief.
After blowing away the wood chips and ashes, others suddenly became vivid when they saw the effect.
Although it is not as smooth as the overall coffin lid, it has been optimized to the extreme.
...
Time passed without realizing it. In order to get the reward early, the little carpenter kept working hard. Finally, before dawn, he finished his work of carving.
The only thing left is polishing and polishing. As for coloring, it is someone else's business.
These things can be helped by Master Qi and his two apprentices. The little carpenter was tired all night and didn't have to do it himself and just guide him by the side.
As for the others, including the Taoist priest who was responsible for following up the drawings and supervising the workers, they were so sleepy that they said goodbye and left.
While guiding the carpenter, the three of Master Qi and the disciples chatted, which seemed a little relaxed.
Master Qi had a good chat with the little carpenter. He felt that the other party was not willing to talk about his origins, so he asked about technical things. The little carpenter did not hide his own personalities and answered patiently. Master Qi and his two apprentices were so excited that they worked harder.
Then, the little carpenter asked indirectly about the coffin.
He was curious about who could suppress the overall pattern of "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin" because if it were an ordinary person, it would be a slightest search for death.
Oh, I was wrong, I should die with my eyes open and fall into the abyss forever.
Master Qi didn't say anything, while an apprentice named Xiaoyu next to him said, "Who said it was made for the dead? It..."
He waited for it to be said again, but he stopped his master's stern gaze. He was so scared that he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to answer again, while Master Qi showed a "simple and honest" smile.
