super god sculptor

Chapter 22
Keke small shop is officially open.

Early in the morning, Xu Xiu poured a glass of white wine, put it in front of his grandfather's memorial tablet, and offered incense.

"Whenever the craftsmanship surpasses mine, I will come back to take care of this small shop."

This is the first sentence grandpa left him.

Grandpa is only proficient in wood carving, and all the shelves are left with wood carvings.

Almost half of the entire house, as many as 600.

The Keke shop has two floors, three rooms in each, board and lodging on the top, and shops on the bottom.

But the area is not large, the three rooms below are all opened up, only 120 square meters.

Each of Grandpa's works is priced at 300 yuan, and he never bargains.

The main buyers are from other places, because Gelan Town is well-known throughout the country for its handicrafts, and when it is prosperous, large-scale handicraft exhibitions are held every year.

However, with the advancement of science and technology, handwork was gradually replaced by machines, coupled with the transfer of the city center, Galan Town also quickly disappeared from people's sight.

Grandpa's works have sold several pieces per day on average, and then sold two or three pieces per month, and the price has never dropped.

"The value of Xiuwa's works must exceed that of grandpa."

This is the second sentence grandpa left him.

What Grandpa is most unwilling to do is that although the price has remained unchanged at 300 yuan, the value has actually dropped a long time ago.

Because his pricing has been rising along with the price, from a few cents at the earliest, to a few yuan, to one hundred, and finally to three hundred.

Prices were still going up, even though he gritted his teeth and stood firm, but no matter how stubborn he was, he could only keep the price down.

According to the current prices, Grandpa's works should be priced at least 500 yuan to make him feel at ease.

"This is the craftsmanship of our ancestors for thousands of years, no matter what, we must pass it on!"

This is the third sentence of grandpa.

Xu Xiu gritted his teeth. He will definitely fulfill his grandfather's three last wishes.

Then, he stared at the wall under the spirit tablet for a long time.

Grandpa said, inside, the family heirloom of the Xu family is sealed.

Any generation has only the obligation to pass on, and has no right to open it.

Because if you don't find a suitable person, even if you want to, you can't open it.

"Grandpa, my grandson has to deal with his daily needs first, and you have to bless me to make a lot of money!"

After saying that, Xu Xiu slowly poured a glass of white wine on the ground.

Then he opened the store door.

The 600 pieces of wood carvings left by my grandfather are all powerful figures related to the suppression of evil spirits.

This may have something to do with the gradual invasion of magic energy in the past hundred years.

Because some bird and animal ornaments, as well as other play pieces, have long been replaced by machine carving.

People sell it for a few yuan, but you charge three hundred. If you don't really understand art, you basically have no market.

However, the people related to suppressing evil and eliminating demons have a more or less pitiful market.

Because the talisman papers and exorcism items that have been opened by the Buddhist Taoist school are all expensive, even the lowest level is nearly a thousand yuan.

Therefore, these related sculptures have become a psychological comfort for ordinary people to buy back.

Xu Xiu cleaned up the 600 pieces of carvings and found that the figures of Buddhism, Taoism, and Yinshen each accounted for 200 pieces.

There are four heavenly kings in the woodcarvings of Buddhist figures, Duo Luo Zha, known as the Heavenly King of the East, who holds a pipa in his hand.Pi Liuli, titled Southern Zengtian King, holds a sword.Viliubocha, known as the Western Guangmu Heavenly King, has a dragon wrapped around his hand.Bishamon, known as the Heavenly King of Duowen in the North, holds a baby banner in his right hand and a divine mouse in his left hand.

There are four great Bodhisattvas, Maitreya representing great compassion, Manjusri representing great wisdom, Samantabhadra representing great practice, Avalokitesvara representing great compassion, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva representing great wish.

There are the sixth patriarch of Zen, the patriarch Bodhidharma who became a Buddha by seeing one's nature, the second patriarch Huike who is illusory and untrue, the third patriarch Sengcan who upholds the precepts and sits in meditation, the fourth patriarch Daoxin who seeks the mind and seeks the Buddha, and the fifth patriarch Hongren who breaks the false mind and sees the true heart , the sixth patriarch Huineng, the actual founder of Zen.

In addition, there are Zhi Daolin who is proficient in metaphysics, Fa Xian who is wise and sensitive, and the sweeping monk with strong martial arts and other Buddhist powers.

Woodcarvings of Taoist figures include Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, Ge Xuan, the former celestial master of the Jade Emperor, Wei Boyang, the ancestor of the alchemy scriptures, Tao Hongjing, the founder of the Maoshan School, and Du Guangting, who combines immortality and Taoism.

In addition, there are Liezi, Zhuangzi, Guan Yizi, Guiguzi, Qiu Chuji, Wang Changyue, Zhang Sanfeng and other great Taoists.

The woodcarvings with the most yin and god figures include the ghost king, day tour, night tour, leopard tail, bird beak, fish gills, wasp, impermanence, bull head, horse face and other ten handsome men.

There are also Emperor Dongyue, Emperor Fengdu, Emperor Wufang Ghost, Luofeng Liutian and other emperors of the underworld.

In addition, there are the top ten Yamas, the four judges, Wei Zheng, the division of rewarding good, Zhong Kui, the division of punishment, Lu Zhidao, the division of investigation, Cui Yu, the division of Yin law, Meng Po, etc.

After he tidied up, half a day passed quietly.

Surprisingly, none were sold.

Only three people entered the store, all of them curiously asked about the price, chatted a few words and then hurried away.

Because, Xu Xiu set the price at 500 yuan a piece.

He knows that even if the price is 300 yuan, those who don't know the goods will not buy it.

Then simply restore the original value of these wood carvings.

Business is difficult!

He sighed, and lost interest in live broadcasting.

Because when he turned on Douyin, he found that it was full of beauties singing and acting cute. Who would come to watch him sculpt?

Deliberately searched for sculpture live broadcasts, but there are a few, but all of them are sparsely populated and extremely bleak.

The one with the largest number of people in the sculpture live broadcast room is also a beautiful woman.

And there are only over [-] fans.

It seems that these people all go to see the beautiful woman Twisted, so they don't have the heart to watch him every moment.

When the meeting is free, I will find Liu Can's phone number to see if I can get some sutras, maybe she has a unique hidden weapon.

After all, she is a podcaster with nearly 50 fans.

In the afternoon, what was even more outrageous was that only two people came in, and one of them was Qin Yue and the other was Lan Fusheng.

The other neighbors avoided him, for fear that Xu Xiu would sell them.

Lan Fusheng came in and sat for a while, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Hey, Xiuwa, my girl, do you still remember your appearance?"

"I never care about the family affairs, and I always have a cold face when I come back."

"Hey, I called her, and hung up after I couldn't say a few words."

"However, Uncle Lan remembers that she only obeys you, and only smiles when she sees you."

Seeing that Xu Xiu didn't reply, he finally touched his head:
"Hehehe, but my girl is getting more and more beautiful the longer she grows."

"How about I call her and tell her that you're back in town?"

Xu Xiu hurriedly said: "Wait, wait, I'm also afraid of the cold!"

After Qin Yue came, he laughed aloud and said:
"My God, this wood carving is so realistic."

"These yin gods are fearful when they look at them, and they will absolutely suppress evil."

Finally, before leaving, he kindly advised:

"However, let me tell you, Brother Xu, you still have to change your price."

Xu Xiu nodded depressedly: "Okay, change it, change it."

Grandpa, grandson just wants to sell some living expenses.

Why is it so difficult!
Xu Xiu looked at this statue for a while, and that one for a while, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

In his eyes, these statues were indeed a notch lower.

However, these are the painstaking efforts of grandpa, and they must be sold.

After thinking about it, he decided to make a little refinement to these statues.

He picked up a statue at random.

Taoist Wei Boyang, the ancestor of the Danjing.

He remembered that Wei Boyang was the author of "Zhou Yi Can Tong Qi".

He raised the saber in his hand and used it with fake talents, and there were a few clicks, and a Taoist priest wearing a purple sun scarf, a gossip robe, a crane crown and a turtle back, and phoenix eyes and sparse eyebrows seemed to come to life.

He took out another piece of wood, and using his talent to activate it, stroke by stroke, he carved out "Zhouyi Cantongqi" with fine brush strokes.

Even if he was single-minded, it took him nearly two hours to complete the engraving.

Then, close your eyes, concentrate your attention, and hit the woodcut of "Zhou Yi Can Tong Qi" with your spiritual sense.

Empowerment!

That's it.

He placed the statue of Wei Boyang and the woodcut of "Zhou Yi Can Tong Qi" side by side.

Didn't Qin Yue suggest that he change the price?

Then change it.

Grandpa's sculptures are worth 500 yuan. Although he has only refined them, the value cannot be lower than grandpa's, because grandpa said that the value of Xiuwa's works must exceed grandpa's.

Therefore, the statue of Wei Boyang after intensive repair will cost 1000 yuan.

His own woodcut "Book of Changes Can Tong Qi" is naturally worth the price.

But there is a statue of grandpa, and his own, naturally cannot be in the limelight.

So, he changed the price below to:

"The statue of Wei Boyang is 2000 yuan, and the woodcut "Book of Changes Can Tong Qi" is attached as a gift.

Hahaha, Jiang Taigong is fishing, to see if anyone who knows the goods will take the bait!
