Once A Jiao left, I pulled up the shop's curtain door and took a bath. Then, I sat down in front of the worktable.
The making of supernatural sculpture required a quiet environment, and the heart needed sufficient peace to not have any evil thoughts.
Otherwise, he would be blaspheming gods, and the supernatural sculpture he produced would turn into an evil god along with the creator's thoughts.
This was because no matter how powerful the divine power of the supernatural sculpture was, it was created by humans.
I took a deep breath and retrieved a bunch of clay s that I prepared beforehand from the mud basin. I started to create the octospider s that I promised Xiao Cihu, and started to shape them.
Our supernatural sculpture's technique in making clay sculptures can be divided into thirty-two stages, and even simpler stages can be divided into six main categories.
Bodhisattva Statue, Wrath Diamond Statue, Bichu Statue, Human Phase, Charming Woman Phase, Foreign Beast Form.
Bodhisattva statues were usually used to carve benevolent statues that could resolve the suffering of others. They were used mostly for the statues of divine sculpture, such as the Kitigarbha Monarchs, Scholars and other Bodhisattvas.
Fury Vajra's eyes were wide open, his gaze like lightning, his face filled with righteousness. In the supernatural sculpture, there were many ways to express the anger of the Gods and ghosts, in order to intimidate and scare off evil beings.
The octospider that I want to make also belongs to this image.
On the other hand, the Picasso was a figure like the Arhat Master, and the most common figure was the Eighteen Arhats.
However, there was a huge difference between the two. In the mortal world, most of the sculptures were of the Yin Immortal above or the True God above, while in the girl, there were only evil spirits or evil spirits.
The foxtail statue that I will help A Jiao create later on needs to be in this shape.
As for the shape of the beast, it was easier to understand. It was the shape of some wild monsters with ferocious faces.
The octospider I created originally belonged to the Beastman form, but this Phantom was used to intimidate Hanged Ghost. Although the strange beast looked strong enough, the righteous energy on its face was not strong enough, so it was unable to shake the ghosts.
Thus, I intentionally made some changes to my face and carved the expression of the statue into the face of the octospider.
Waiting until I finished, I stood up from the worktable, paid my respects to the Table that had the ancestral tablet for making supernatural sculpture s, and muttered:
"Descendants are under the shade of their ancestors, while golden swords hack at holy statues. Above us, we will create three levels of treasures, and below us, we will create nine rays of light. "
The positions that I made just now were called request for ancestors. Only after requesting permission from the ancestors can we begin to create the supernatural sculpture.
After finishing this set of positions, I bowed three more times towards the tablet. Following which, I pushed out a box from the bottom of the Table. This box contained the entire set of tools needed to create supernatural sculpture.
These things were all passed down from the Ming Dynasty. I opened up the box s, and used the red cloth s to wrap around twelve carvings of different sizes of gold and silver.
In addition, there were six different types of brushes, which were used to color clay sculptures.
I carried all of these items onto the worktable and immediately began to create the octospider Statue.
In fact, if he was proficient enough, he could create a statue from a lump of clay in one night's time. What was truly difficult was the enlightenment and soul attracting later on.
divine sculpture needed to be enlightened, but Phantom was a type of soul luring beast.
Simply put, the gods lived in factories and shops. At this point in time, there was no God placed his hands on it, it was just an ordinary work of art.
After being invited back, they began to chant an incantation through the chanting of the great virtue of the monks, reaching the heavens to listen. They let the gods know that there was someone here to support them, and only after being selected would the gods accept incense and protect the people who supported them.
This set of rules could only be completed by people with extremely high cultivation experience or specialized knowledge. It was not something that could be accomplished by casually asking an old Taoist from the Monk.
Not only would he not be able to invite a true god, but he would also very likely have some ghosts attached themselves to the idol, drinking incense.
We who make supernatural sculpture have our own unique ways of opening our eyes and drawing souls. When the structure of the statue was almost complete, I dimmed all the lights in the shop, took out a bronze mirror from the box and placed it in front of the statue.
And around the statue, according to the God of the Three Devils and Four Devils, lit four fragrant incense.
The light from the fire shone on the bronze mirror, shining on the octospider's face, which was not yet carved.
At this time, I picked up the smallest carving knife and slashed at my forefinger, causing blood to spurt out instantly. I hastily smeared the blood all over the octospider's face, and then quickly carved its face while the blood was still wet.
At the same time as the sculpture was being carved, he would also open his mouth and mutter: "Demon Dove, my lord, Xiao Cihu has set up a supernatural sculpture here and I am willing to raise you up. If you agree, my lord, please show me your reaction as soon as possible."
Just as I finished my sentence, I suddenly saw the four fragrant fires suddenly change from red to a weak shade of purple. Then, I looked at the bronze mirror in front of the statue and saw a human face with eagle eyes and hawk beaks. The corners of his mouth curled up as he glared at me.
It seems that he is willing to accept Xiao Cihu's support. I took a deep breath and hurriedly said respectfully:
"Thank you, Supreme God, for your response."
Before he finished speaking, the face on the bronze mirror disappeared, and the four fragrant flames also regained their color.
I turned on the lights in the house and looked at the octospider's face. Although it looked like it was made out of Vajra, I still gave it a special kind of hawk mouth and eyes. Its appearance and aura were exactly the same as what I saw in the bronze mirror.
The blood on the statue's face had already disappeared. It seemed that the octospider's soul had been lured into the statue through my blood.
This process is the most complicated process within the entire supernatural sculpture. After I finished doing all of this, I was so tired that I started to gasp for breath.
The next step was to color the supernatural sculpture, but this color was different from the usual ones, it was related to the effects of the entire statue being lit up or drawn in.
I can't concoct this kind of pigment myself, so I'll have to buy it from someone called Feng Si.
Feng Si is a strong person, the bovine tears I used to break all obstacles in before was bought from him. He specializes in doing business in yin and yang lines, I have traded with him a few times, and he is quite good at being human.
