Chapter 1119 I come from a mysterious place
Judging from the pattern drawn by Chen Yi, it is completely imitating the walls of the Han Dynasty, which are exactly the same. This cannot be drawn by any person, but can only be drawn by someone who knows the jade walls of the Han Dynasty. (.щu Mi o. Wu Ru)
Even Lu Zigang felt that he might not be as good as Chen Yi's paintings, because the jade artifacts he carved were all kinds of landscape figures. As for the antique jade wall, it was very rare to carve it.
However, the little carvings of him does not mean that he does not understand jade walls. He has studied jade artifacts from various dynasties, which is why he can see at a glance that Chen Yi was imitating Han to make walls.
However, being able to draw is a skill, and whether it can be carved is another matter. Judging from the jade wall drawn by Chen Yi, it is more complex than ordinary plain jade walls, which is indeed a great test of the carving skills of people, especially some of the subtle parts. If you are not careful, you will fail.
In addition, there are some fine patterns. Lu Zigang was full of surprise. Chen Yi actually chose a jade wall of such a level, which was extremely confident. However, whether this confidence was arrogant or not, it might be clear soon.
After preparing the tools, Chen Yi first performed the first stage of rough carving and cut out the outline of the jade wall. The silhouetted wall he carved was a round wall below, and on the top of the round wall, there were carved patterns, making the entire jade wall look more beautiful and simple.
The moment he saw the topaz, he had a conception in his heart, which was to carve it into a jade wall. The yellow color was originally simple, and the jade wall was extremely simple, so the two were fused together, which was very perfect.
After conception, I learned from advanced jade carving techniques, which made the jade wall more and more perfect.
When carving this jade wall, Chen Yi also used advanced jade carving techniques and spiritual energy guidance techniques. With his movements, he merged the spiritual energy with jade bit by bit.
Under the insight of advanced jade carving techniques, he was very skilled in the use of ancient jade carving tools, just like flowing clouds and water.
After the first stage of rough carving, the overall shape of the jade wall has already become a rough shape, and the patterns of each part are also roughly carved out first, and then finely carved.
On this seemingly simple jade wall, it can be said that the techniques of round carving, carving, openwork, etc. are used. If the jade carving master is not fully controlled, it will not be able to perfectly carve it. Read the latest chapter full text
Looking at Chen Yi skillfully using various jade-carving tools, Lu Zigang's eyes became more and more serious, because he saw that Chen Yi had some different ways of handling various carving techniques, which were what he had never seen before.
But just watching Chen Yi's carvings from the side, and the distance is still a bit far, so I can't learn it at all, and I can't understand some of it at all.
The emergence of these carving methods made Lu Zigang more and more believe that Chen Yi was really the sculptor of the white jade pen holder.
When using these ancient jade carving tools for carving, Chen Yi was also full of emotion. If modern machinery was used, the jade wall would be more relaxed. At the same time, the carving effect would be better.
However, in this ancient times, under the eyes of Lu Zigang and others, he could only use these slightly backward tools to carve.
Even though Chen Yi used advanced jade carving techniques and was extremely skillful in the movements, he only completed part of the rough carving from morning to noon, but not all of them were completed.
This ancient jade wall requires many places to be carved. Chen Yi constructed a jade wall with complex patterns. In addition, this is an extremely precious piece of topaz. You need to be more cautious when starting, which requires a lot of time.
The biggest disadvantage is that these jade carving tools in ancient times were far less fast and convenient than modern ones. If he used modern jade carving tools, he could complete this jade wall in less than a day.
Even so, at noon, Lu Zigang and Xu Wei were already very surprised by the speed of Chen Yi's carving.
Lu Zigang felt that if he had carved with Kunwu knife, it would have been faster than Chen Yi. If he had been carved with these jade-carving tools, he would probably be worse than Chen Yi.
After all, over the years, he has become accustomed to carving with Kunwu knife. He only studies these jade carving tools from time to time.
When it was noon, Lu Zigang and Xu Wei estimated the time and then looked at each other. Then, Xu Wei took advantage of Chen Yi's preparation to carve jade on another tool and said softly: "Young Master Chen, it's already noon. Let's have dinner first and wait to carve."
Hearing Xu Wei's words, Chen Yi looked at his left hand habitually, but found that his left hand was empty. He had already put the watch he wore in the real world in the storage space, so he smiled and placed the jade wall in his hand on the table.
As of now, the carving of this jade wall was very smooth. The continuous understanding of advanced jade carving techniques allowed him to avoid many mistakes and carve the jade artifacts more exquisitely.
"Old Xu, Master Lu, let's go." Chen Yi nodded slightly and said to the two of them.
When Lu Zigang and Lu Zigang walked out of the workshop, the sun had reached the center, which looked very dazzling. Chen Yi smiled. When he was serious about doing something, time passed the fastest.
In Lu Zigang's entire house, except for the three of them, no one exists. Lu Zigang carved jade all year round. Once he carved jade, he probably wouldn't have the concept of time. It's hard to say whether he could cook or not.
Xu Wei may do it, but when Chen Yi fully identified the house, he did not find any kitchen at all. There was nothing else except some tools used to boil water and make tea, so it was impossible to cook.
So, Chen Yi followed Lu Zigang and the others to a nearby tavern, which is commonly known as the private room. After the meals were served, Xu Wei first raised his wine glass and said, "Young Master Chen, today you let us appreciate a very exquisite jade artifact and showed us superb jade carving skills, so thank you for this glass of wine."
Lu Zigang, who was standing beside him, also silently raised his wine glass. Chen Yi's extremely skilled jade carving skills had already made him put away his inner contempt.
Chen Yi smiled and raised his glass, "It's my honor to meet Mr. Xu and Master Lu." Although he still has to carve jade in the afternoon, the glass is just yellow wine, which is not worth worrying. Even if it is a modern high-level white wine, with his restoration technique, it can be wiped out in an instant.
Xu Wei was one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Zigang was even more a master of jade carvings. Therefore, it was really a blessing to see these two people in the dungeon world.
The three of them clinked each other's glasses, then each drank the wine in the glass and sat down to eat the meal.
"Xiaoyou Chen, although the jade wall has not been carved yet, it is enough to show your superb jade carving skills. Are you from the jade carving family?" Xu Wei asked curiously. After entering the jade carving industry, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a prince and noble, so it is very likely that he is a jade carving family.
However, even if Chen Yi was born in the Jade Carving Family, he had such superb skills so young. It was shocking.
Lu Zigang also looked at Chen Yi. He also wanted to know where Chen Yi came from. Although he is in the capital now, he also has information exchanges with the jade carving industry in Suzhou and other places. He had no idea of the appearance of Chen Yi, a jade carving master. When he was famous in Suzhou before, his level might be somewhat inferior to Chen Yi.
"Old Xu, Master Lu, I don't come from the Diaoyu family. I can only tell you that I come from a mysterious place. As for where this place is, I can't say more." Chen Yi looked at Xu Wei and the others and said calmly.
After hearing Chen Yi's words, Xu Wei and Lu Zigang showed surprise on their faces, and then nodded slowly. There were many wars in China throughout the ages, and many people and families chose to move to some peaceful places. Many places were very hidden and could not be discovered by others.
Just like the "Peach Blossom Spring" by Tao Yuanming, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, during Xu Wei's years of travel, he also wanted to discover this paradise, without disputes, and only peace. Unfortunately, he traveled to many places but never discovered it.
When Lu Zigang learned that Chen Yi came from a mysterious place, his surprise was slightly calmed down because there were many craftsmen with unique skills in ancient times who chose to live in seclusion during wars. If there were such people in the place where Chen Yi was born, then this could explain why Chen Yi had such superb jade carving skills at a young age, and some of them were something he had never seen before.
Because in such a paradise, these craftsmen will not retain anything, and will do their best to teach them in order to pass on their skills.
Next, Xu Wei did not continue to ask this question, but talked with Chen Yi about some sparse trivial matters.
"Zigang, I have been here for more than a month. It's time to go back to my hometown." Then, after drinking a glass of wine, Xu Wei sighed lightly and said to Lu Zigang.
Lu Zigang changed his face slightly and said hurriedly: "Brother Wen, why are you in a hurry to leave? Are you not living well with me?"
Xu Wei is one of his few friends. He suffered a lot of hardships in the first half of his life. He really wanted to make this friend live a better life in his later years.
Xu Wei shook his head, "I came to the capital just to visit you. After all, this is not my home. I am tired and want to go back to my hometown. Before leaving, it is a blessing to meet a strange person like Chen Xiaoyou."
