Chapter 76 Failure is the Mother of Success (1)
Chapter 76
After the three of them returned home...
Holding a plastic bag full of ingredients on both hands, Xiao Guniang went to the kitchen and began to prepare supper.
Liu Bi held Liu Diandian in one hand and only put down the person when he arrived in the living room.
As for Liu Diandian, she was not idle along the way. She held Kaifeng's snacks in one hand and put them into her mouth with a piece of potato chips in the other hand.
Some people may ask: Where are these foods?
Before going to Wanshou Mountain, Liu Bi prepared snacks for several months, but he came back that night. He basically only had dinner and midnight snacks last year, and had it in the morning.
I didn't eat a lot, but what I prepared with him was nothing.
Now he has a lot left. On the way home, he saw Liu Diandian seemingly drooling, so he gave Liu Diandian a few packs of snacks.
There are so many inventory, but if you really want to eat it, you can't stand Liu Diandian's tossing. Therefore, Liu Diandian did not forget to remind her: "Eat slowly, and you will be gone after you finish eating."
The reminder has worked. Along the way, I ate a little bit of Liu Diandian, and I haven't finished eating a few packs yet.
Liu Bi has other things to do next.
That was a very serious matter. He needed to concentrate. In order to prevent Liu Diandian from getting hungry and going out to cause trouble, he took out some snacks and threw them on the table beside him.
Of course, Liu Bi did not forget to remind Liu Diandian: "There is still some time before supper. Eat slowly, otherwise you will have to go hungry after eating."
Seeing Liu Diandian suddenly giving so much food, Liu Diandian was very happy. He tore open the sealing strip and was about to pour it into his mouth.
When she heard the following words, she paused.
After hesitating, Liu Diandian took the spicy strip away from his mouth, then grabbed one with his fingers, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, satisfied his desire to eat, and then took out the second one.
At this speed, it is no problem to hold on until the meal time.
Liu Diandian was temporarily stabilized, and Liu Di was not idle either. He took out the brush and carving knife he bought from the supermarket and started working on his own.
He held a brush in his left hand and a carving knife in his right hand, and didn't know what was carving on the brush.
Liu Diandian, who was beside her, also noticed it. She was also very curious. She wanted to ask her master "what was doing. When she saw the master's concentration, she still didn't go up and ask.
As he was engraving, Liu Bi's hand suddenly stopped again.
Then he fell into deep thought.
Just for a moment of contemplation, the brush on my hand suddenly cracked, and the cracks began to spread, more and more. The most strange thing is that the wooden pen began to turn into stone.
When the cracks spread throughout the brush, the stone directly turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.
Not even a little bit of scum left.
"This requirement is really harsh." Looking at the left hand where nothing was left, Liu Bi couldn't help but complain: "I just stopped and thought about the runes, but it was scrapped in such a moment."
Fortunately, Liu Bi has prepared a few more copies.
"Master, what are you doing?"
Seeing the whole process, Liu Diandian felt curious and came up to ask.
"I'm holding a spirit."
"What kind of spirit?"
"It is to bless the soul to the object."
I haven't known this disciple for a long time, but she looks very similar to the eighth disciple, so Liu Bi has no concealment from her.
"It sounds like it's fun."
"This is not a fun thing, but it is very dangerous. If it weren't for your master, I was strong enough, I would have killed half of my life just now." Liu Bi explained.
But Liu Diandian didn't listen at all.
I sat next to Liu Bi, took out a carving knife and a brush from the plastic bag, and prepared to tinker with Liu Bi's appearance.
Without saying a word, Liu Bi raised his hand and punched him first.
After Liu Diandian held her head with both hands, she snatched the brush and carving knife from her hand back.
"You little girl, don't understand what your master said. This thing is not for you to play with."
After listening to Liu Bi's preaching, Liu Diandian retorted: "Master, aren't you okay?"
"Master, I'm fine, that's because I'm strong enough. If it were you, I would probably not even have the chance to be reincarnated if I failed once." Liu Bi was serious about it.
"I see."
He said this, but Liu Diandian had no intention of giving up.
Liu Bi also saw it.
In order to prevent the little guy from committing suicide while he was not careful, he simply put the bag containing the tools into his pocket.
Seeing this, Liu Diandian went back to have snacks in disappointment.
Liu Bi began to carve brushes.
This time he didn't stop. He just shook his hand and turned it off when he was halfway through.
It's just a small hole.
The result was still the same as before. The wooden brush first had cracks, then turned into stones, and finally turned into a shadow and disappeared without a trace.
"It's failed again, it doesn't matter, continue."
Liu Bi was not discouraged.
Take out the third one from your pocket, and Liu Bi continued to carve it with all his attention.
This time it went quite smoothly.
At least halfway through the carving, I can't remember what I want to carve, nor do I have any carving bias.
The result still failed.
The reason is that the engraving knife has reached the upper limit.
Unlike brushes that turn into ashes, when the carving knife cannot bear it, it is like a "firecracker" and explodes with a "bang".
Xiao Guniang in the kitchen was so scared that she ran out.
"Master, what happened?"
"It's okay, keep busy with yours."
Liu Bi did not explain, waved his hand and sent Xiao Gu Niang back to the kitchen and left.
After the carving knife was blown up, Liu Dao's carving stopped. In just a moment, the third one turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace.
"It's really... there's a trick."
Three times in a row failed.
Even Liu Bi felt a little tired. He stopped and rested for a while before he reopened and started carving the fourth one.
The first three failures made Liu Bi waste all his efforts, but his efforts were not rewarded at all.
At least he gradually mastered the trick.
Moreover, he could recite the runes that needed to be carved, so he would not forget them halfway.
The carving knife was just replaced.
Now it can be said that everything is ready, and only the east wind (time) is missing.
After picking up the fourth brush and the second carving knife, Liu Bi began to carve with all his attention.
Failure is the mother of success.
Just like this famous saying, Liu Bi's three consecutive failures resulted in his fourth success.
Just one success is not enough.
There will always be an exception in everything.
After all, it was the first time Liu Bi did such a thing, and he could not guarantee that he would succeed the first time. When he failed, he would continue to prepare, which would be too late.
And he didn't know if there would be unknown risks.
To be cautious, it is safer to get more.
After a while of rest, Liu Bi took out the fifth brush from his pocket and continued to carve it on it.
Chapter completed!
