Master Sculptor

Chapter 43

Li Hanlin completed the last cut, and suddenly a strange feeling surged in his heart. He felt unprecedented excitement and anticipation, which made him want to roar a few times in the street.After the energy subsided, Li Hanlin felt a little convulsed again.

In the past, when he completed other carving tasks, although he was also happy, he was not so exaggerated, as if his whole body was about to fly.He squatted down to be at the same level as the lion, looking at the pair of animal pupils that were so deep that he almost sucked himself in, he couldn't help holding his big face and kissing him twice.

After the kiss, Li Hanlin laughed again.The male lion was bigger than he had imagined, and he could only clumsily wrap his arms around the lion's neck to hold him.

In fact, he didn't know why he wanted to carve such a big lion, but when he saw that thick ebony tree, a majestic figure spontaneously appeared in his mind.

"It must be because my lion has a strong vitality," Li Hanlin thought, "that's why we have such a huge body to accommodate it."

Li Hanlin hugged and touched the lion for quite a while, then reluctantly got up and walked to the window, and whistled vigorously.

No response.

Li Hanlin was a little puzzled.He communicated with the eagle by whistle. In the past, whenever he whistled, the other party flew back immediately, but today it is not the case.He blew several times in succession, but did not hear any response.

Could it be that playing crazy with Suzaku?Suzaku loves to play, and always finds places where there are no people to run, but Eagle seldom runs far with him.There are also just wandering back and forth in the city.

About half an hour later, the eagle flew back.The gliding posture is not as elegant as usual, but a little anxious.When Li Hanlin saw him, he ran to the courtyard and waited for him to come down.

The eagle flew in front of him and stopped, Li Hanlin saw that he was holding a piece of rag in his mouth, it was black, it seemed to be torn from his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Li Hanlin felt a little uncomfortable.

Eagle placed the rag at Li Hanlin's feet, and uttered a sharp cry at him.

Li Hanlin does not understand the language of animals, but this does not prevent him from distinguishing some emotions.

"Did something happen?"

Ying couldn't explain it to him, and was quite agitated, and turned around a few times on the spot.Suddenly, he fluttered his wings and rushed to the black bear and cheetah basking in the sun, waved his wings, and let out two more hasty calls.

Li Hanlin was stunned for a moment, and he had a bad premonition in his heart after contacting the recent abnormal state of the black bear and the cheetah.He hesitated and asked: "...Are you saying that it has something to do with them?" If the "disease" of the black bear and the cheetah is man-made...

The more Li Hanlin thought about it, the more frightened he became. Someone attacked the black bear and the cheetah, if this is true.why?And who did it?

Li Hanlin thought for a moment, and locked on two suspects.One is the ruler of Glory City.The purpose is to control him.After all, if he is obedient, then he is a superior master, if he is not used by them, then he is at best a pawn.

It's not that Li Hanlin doesn't understand this, but after he expressed his attitude to the elder, the latter didn't do anything strange, at most he let Baofu take good care of him.This made him basically relax his vigilance, thinking that Guanghui City temporarily let go of the idea of ​​​​dominating the world.

The other suspect came from another city.After all, Glory City has made his reputation too loud, and it is normal for other cities to regard him as a threat.

But... the guards of Glory City are not weak enough to allow the other party to enter and exit freely, right?What's more, he is located in the center of Guanghui City.The defense of the temple and the eight main halls is not broken just by breaking it.

Sure enough, the former was more suspected.

Li Hanlin said in a low voice, "Ying, go get Suzaku back."

The eagle uttered a long cry towards the sky, fluttered its wings and rushed into the sky.

Li Hanlin turned around and entered the house, and locked the room where the lion was.Originally, the purpose of calling the eagle back was to let him pass a message to Baofu and send the lion to the holy pool of the temple.See now, this matter has to be delayed for a while.

As dusk fell, the sun gradually sank, and the last afterglow set off the sunset glow, dyeing the whole sky red.

The black bear and the cheetah lay sleepily beside Li Hanlin, occasionally whimpering faintly.Li Hanlin hugged them at a loss, trying to make them more energetic through words and touching.However, after a while, their huge bodies gradually became smaller, until they became two cold wooden sculptures.

Li Hanlin held the two wooden sculptures in her hands, walked slowly into the room, and put them into the simulated ecological tank she made.

When the night fell completely, the eagle came back, with a colorful phoenix behind him, and it was the Suzaku who had been playing without a trace.Immediately afterwards, Hongmu and Xiongwa also returned home after a day of training, only Dayan had to stay there to learn archery with Yihua.

Li Hanlin had dinner with them.After washing the dishes, he called Suzaku and Ying over, and said, "You look at home, I'll go out for a while."

Xiong Bao jumped out of nowhere: "Where are you going?"

Li Hanlin smiled and said, "Why, do you want to go with me?"

"No, I don't want to move, I'm exhausted!" After Xiong Wa finished speaking, she ran away.

Li Hanlin shook his head, changed his clothes and went out.

Summer nights are still very cool, especially now that it is the end of summer, and the wind at night carries the coolness of early autumn. Li Hanlin gathered up his collar and put his hands in his pockets.

This road leads to the Northwest Hall, because it is still within the scope of the Eight Great Halls, so no civilians pass by.The Northwest Hall is the residence of the Great Elder. During the day, some people go to the Great Elder to discuss matters through this road, but at night it looks much deserted, with only a few dimly lit lanterns swaying in the wind.The dim yellow lights seemed to go out at any moment.

The southwest hall and the southeast hall are quite far away, Li Hanlin's cheeks are cold from the wind, but his footsteps are non-stop.

There was a strange sound behind him, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.Li Hanlin's footsteps stopped for a moment, and then he continued to move forward without looking back.

He pricked up his ears and quickened his pace.However, the voice behind him did not decrease, which meant that something was following him.

Li Hanlin's face turned livid, and he walked faster and faster, until he even started running.

The night wind blows into the collar that was opened because of running, but he has no time to take care of it, because the strange voice has been following him!

Suddenly, a black shadow landed in front of him, bringing a burst of fans to Li Hanlin's face.Li Hanlin almost couldn't lift it up in one breath, so he stopped quickly.

Li Ta staggered back two steps, squinted his eyes and glanced at the black figure by the faint light of the lantern, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

It's an eagle.

Li Hanlin's legs were weak, and he cursed angrily: "Why did you follow?! You scared me to death, you know?"

At this time, the strange noise behind him could not be heard, Li Hanlin heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly couldn't help laughing at himself, such a grown-up person was so courageous, it was really a joke to say it out.

"Didn't I tell you to take a good look at the house? Where's Suzaku? If you don't, come along with me?"

The eagle flapped its wings twice, indicating no.

"Forget it, forget it, you can go together too." Li Hanlin didn't want to admit that he still had heart palpitations, and wanted to find a companion.

The eagle flew by his side and followed him forward.

However, after walking a few steps, Li Hanlin sensed something was wrong.

The voice behind him rang again!
