Chapter 335 The Statue Is Alive!
Is it really some kind of omen? Or is it some other reason?
Xu Dao fell into thinking, but unexpectedly, at this moment, he suddenly felt his heart sink, and he had some bad feelings in the dark. He subconsciously thought that something happened in the city and his family was in danger. He was about to use his magical powers to return, but he stopped suddenly.
Because his intuition told him that it was not the case!
Xu Dao pushed open the door, and Oats was still practicing. He had just completed a breakthrough and was now calming his blood and consolidating his cultivation.
He did not disturb her, but left the residence quietly. This time he did not set a destination to go to, but just walked forward with a feeling in the dark.
That feeling was very strange and very weak. If he focused his mind on it, it would make this feeling disappear, but when he gave his body to instinct, he would not think about it, and that feeling would reappear again.
Xu Dao followed this feeling and walked forward, not paying attention to the route he was going. He crossed the streets and bypassed the alleys along the way, and then stopped suddenly in front of a square gate.
Xu Dao suddenly woke up and was stunned by the familiar words "Kelingfang" in front of him. "Is this the place?"
At this time, it was already past midnight, and almost everyone had already gone to bed. The whole place was dark, with only one place still bright.
Because of this one bright spot, this place became extremely conspicuous.
It had been seven days since the reply was sent from the capital, and the medicine shop in Qingyun County had already been prepared and had been in operation for several days.
The medicine shop was in Kelingfang, and all the women in Kelingfang who could still work entered the medicine shop. Not to mention that the work in the medicine shop was not very tiring except that it required sufficient care, and they were not afraid even if it was a little tiring.
In addition to the people in Keling Village, other women in the county who were willing to work to supplement their family income could also enter it. This medicine shop was responsible for the preliminary processing of all medicinal materials in the county, so the more people, the better.
Because of this, almost all the families in Kelingfang had gone to bed early to welcome tomorrow's work. But the solitary lamp was so conspicuous there.
And Xu Dao knew who the family was with just one look!
Xu Dao walked forward in silence, but for some reason, the closer he got, the heavier his mood became, and a faint sadness lingered in Xu Dao's heart.
This sadness came so suddenly that it caught people off guard. Xu Dao paused slightly, but did not stop and continued to move forward. Soon he arrived outside Granny Wu's house.
The house with the lights on was here! Xu Dao stood outside the door for a long time before he raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
"Who is it? Shanfang? Don't worry about me, I'll go to bed later," Granny Wu's old and weak voice came from inside the door, followed by a rustling sound.
The door was opened, and Granny Wu looked at Xu Dao in front of her and was stunned for a while.
"It turned out to be you!" Granny Wu laughed.
But the Granny Wu in front of him was completely different from the Granny Wu Xu Dao had seen seven days ago. If the old lady he saw seven days ago was exhausted, what he saw today was a pile of embers that were about to go out, and even the last bit of heat was about to run out.
"Please let me in and sit down!" Xu Dao responded with a smile.
The old lady was stunned for a long time, then nodded, "Okay!"
Xu Dao supported the old lady who was already shaky, returned to the house, and closed the door again. The night wind in late autumn was already very cold, and the old lady couldn't stand it.
Entering the house, Xu Dao helped the old lady sit on the bed, and then saw the carving knife and wood carving on the table.
"You have been doing this these days?"
"Yes, I'm old and my hands are slow. Why did I need so much time before?" The old lady was in unexpectedly good spirits. It was like a little fire suddenly jumped up on a pile of embers!
"It's really like it! The craftsmanship is really good!" Xu Dao gently stroked the statue with his fingers, "I have only seen such good carving skills in two people!"
"Oh, has your Excellency seen others? I dare not say that my skills are the best in the world, but they are not comparable to ordinary people!" The old man said with some pride.
"Yeah!" Xu Dao nodded, "There is a mountain temple on the official road from Qingyun County to the prefectural city. There is a temple priest there, and his statue carving skills are not inferior to yours!"
"Oh, that one! I recognize him!" Granny Wu laughed.
"Do you know him?"
"Yes, he is from Keling Village. I learned this carving skill from him. Do you think I recognize him?"
Xu Dao also laughed, "So there is such a source. But think about it and it makes sense. Such a superb skill and such a stubborn character, isn't it just in line with the temperament of Keling Village?"
"So some people scold Keling Village for producing fools!" The old man shook his head and laughed so hard that he couldn't catch his breath.
Xu Dao stepped forward and used his magic power to guide the blood and breath for him, but when his magic power entered the old man's body, he could only sense emptiness.
The old man's spirit had long been exhausted! Now only a decayed body remained!
"Why are you doing this? In the state when we first met that day, you still have at least a few decades to live!" Xu Dao's tone was full of deep helplessness. He had never encountered such a thing.
"It's tiring to live, child!" The old man looked depressed, "In fact, you shouldn't have come. If you hadn't come to disturb me, I might have finished it. I almost had the eye!"
The old lady had actually exhausted her mind and spirit a long time ago, and she only managed to stay alive with her last breath of energy, but Xu Dao's sudden visit interrupted her energy, and she was no longer able to dot the eyes of the statue.
Xu Dao looked down at the statue in his hand, which was already 99% complete, and it was indeed just a matter of finishing the eyes. If he hadn't come, this person would have poured all his remaining energy into it and finished finishing the eyes!
"That's great!" Xu Dao smiled and comforted.
"No, how can a statue be made without a soul?"
"It's not important!"
"No, it's very important. Although this statue is of you, it's not made for you!" Granny Wu looked at Xu Dao with determination in her eyes.
Xu Dao was stunned, "You are really a wise man! I'm not as good as you! In that case, I'll do it for you, okay?"
The old lady smiled and nodded, "How can it not be good? This is better!"
She came to shape the body, and to dot the eyes of the real body, nothing could be more suitable than this.
Xu Dao picked up the carving knife on the table, looked at the statue for a long time, and then quickly touched the two eyes of the statue with the carving knife!
A natural and peaceful aura fell on the statue, and golden light burst out from the statue's pupils.
The statue came alive at this moment!
"Grandma, it's done!" Xu Dao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, there was no movement beside him!
