The bricks and stones scattered on the ground also emit red light, which is an incredible thing!

He Qing thought that only antiques of a certain age would emit "treasure light". Who knew that a stone that looked inconspicuous on the roadside also emitted a strange light. From this we can see that the stone is not simple, perhaps it has a great origin, otherwise why did so many stones around have no reaction, but that one has a strange phenomenon.

At that moment, He Qing couldn't help but look at the stone closely, and saw that the stone was gray and had an irregular rectangular shape, which was no different from the other stones around.

In just a blink of an eye, the red light emitted from the stone condensed in front of He Qing's eyes. Then, lines of red silk poured into his eyes. This scene was exactly the same as what he had seen on antiques before.

Immediately afterwards, scenes of images began to quickly rewind...

The stone on the ground flew back to a wall. It was a sub-wall next to the corridor of this jade carving factory. The wall was built many years ago. The bricks used include the remaining jade raw materials, which are all waste materials.

The stone was cut from a larger piece of jade, and the mother body was a piece of jade raw material transported from the far southwest. The jade material was dug back from the mountain by a man and treasured for a long time before finally flowing into the jade market.

"So that's it!" After passing through He Qing's mind, he suddenly realized that the stone originated in the Qing Dynasty and was once collected as a treasure. No wonder it also contained a "wish power".

This shows that the law of superpowers is still there and there is no fundamental change, but it is not as simple as He Qing imagined at the beginning. He can not only see the "this life" of antiques, but also see the origin of other things. As long as this thing is valued, emotions are poured into it.

Even antiques or gems!

But He Qing didn’t know if it was a piece of precious jade or a piece of waste stone!

But since people can't let go, there is potential value.

"He Qing, what's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Seeing He Qing suddenly stop and staring at the ground intently, Gu Qing was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking.

"Oh, nothing." He Qing came to his senses and shook his head. When he walked forward, he deliberately used his feet to bring the stone to a dark little corner, not paying attention, because he was a little interested in the thing and wanted to look back and find a way to take it back and study it. Maybe the stone was of some use.

But he didn't think much about it for a while.

After a while, under Gu Qing's leadership, He Qing found Boss Xiao, the relative of Gu Qing's sister, the director of the "Nancui Jade Carving Factory", and the owner of the factory.

Gu Qing’s friend was an enthusiastic person. Before He Qing and the others came, the other party had already explained the situation to Boss Xiao, so when Boss Xiao saw He Qing, he asked straight to the point: "Xiao He, have you learned hand-carving or motor carving?"

He Qing replied: "Hand-made engraving. I don't know how to engrave it with motors."

To be honest, because all he learned from Zigang jade tablets was manual engraving skills. If he was asked to control the high-tech engraving machine, he would have to learn something. Obviously, this was not the job he wanted to do.

Boss Xiao said with a smile: "Handcraft carving is too particular. It requires rich experience in jade carving and excellent skills. If you don't produce good works, it will be difficult to get a job. However, what you do in this area is often fine. If you do well, it will be very popular. Xiao He, which technique are you good at? Is it openwork or shallow carving? What kind of genre are you added? For example, Beijing jade carving, Shanghai-style jade carving, etc."

He asked several questions in a row, and He Qing smiled slightly and said, "I can choose the types of carvings, but what sect I join is not of which sect."

But he is a self-contained person, and he can easily pick up both round sculptures or relief sculptures.

"That's OK." Boss Xiao nodded and said, "We just don't have a manual apprentice here, but I don't know what Master Lu said. Xiaoqing and Xiaohe, please sit down first. I'll call Master Lu and let him talk to you. He is the master in our factory, so I'm asking him for an assistant."

"Well, don't worry." He Qing nodded.

Later, Boss Xiao brought in someone, a tall middle-aged man. He saw that the man had a big ear and had a bit of grace in every move.

"Old Lu, it's this young man. Let's talk to him. Is it suitable? Xiao He was introduced by my niece and should be good at craftsmanship." Boss Xiao pointed at He Qing and introduced to the middle-aged man.

"Hello, Master Lu." He Qing nodded politely to the man and said hello.

"Hello. Come with me." Master Lu was obviously a person who didn't like to talk too much. He waved to He Qing and signaled to follow him.

"Gu Qing, you can wait in the reception room, I'll talk to Master Lu." He Qing greeted Gu Qing and said.

"Well, go." Gu Qing whispered, "Master Lu is going to take the exam, so this is the interview. You have to work hard!"

"Haha, thank you, I will do my best." He Qing replied with a smile. This was just a formality for him. No one knew how deep he was. It was ridiculous that Master Lu wanted to test his jade carving level. In fact, in terms of true seniority, he didn't know how many generations he was higher than the other party, and the other party was almost the same as his apprentice. Of course, no one knew this except He Qing himself, and he would never have imagined it.

He Qing followed Master Lu to the place where they worked. He saw many people working in the huge room. The sounds of various machines were roaring together, which was extremely harsh. The noisy environment made He Qing, who was just a little uncomfortable.

However, he walked over calmly to see what questions Master Lu was going to give to test his carving skills.

"This is an ordinary carving knife, pick it up and show it to me." When he came to the workbench in a corner, Master Lu pointed to a knife on the table and said. He never smiled from beginning to end, with a serious expression. He knew at a glance that he was the kind of serious person.

"Yes." Although He Qing didn't understand Master Lu's intention very well, he still picked up the knife as he said. It should be a small oblique knife for carving jade. The blade was only three or four centimeters long, but the blade was very sharp and shining with a cold light, like a scalpel in a doctor's hand.

When He Qing was a child, he often used a knife to sharpen pencils, but he had never used such a knife.

But strangely, when the carving knife fell into his hands, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had just used it, and the memories of the famous jade carver of the Republic of China who imitated Zigang Yu suddenly surged out.

Involuntarily, he played with the knife, which seemed to be growing on his hands, and seemed so natural.

"Yes, that's OK." Seeing this, Master Lu nodded with satisfaction. Then he took out two pieces of jade, one of which had not been carved yet, while the other piece had been carved on one side, and some were carved slightly.

"You try carving this piece, just carve this flower." Master Lu instructed.

"This flower sculpture is not good-looking." He Qing said casually at first sight.

"Huh?" Master Lu looked at him with a strange look, as if he was in doubt.

"Oh, I understand. Master Lu, wait, I'll try it right away." Seeing that the other party's face was wrong, He Qing quickly realized that he might have said the wrong thing. The thing might have been written by Master Lu. If you say this, wouldn't you question the other party's level?

But to be fair, the carved flower He Qing really doesn’t like it!

Because his level is too high, he looks down from a condescending view, so it is naturally easy to see the shortcomings of jade carvings.

"You carve it, call me when you have finished carving it." Master Lu called out, and after that, he turned around and walked to guide other jade workers.

As soon as Master Lu walked away, He Qing picked up the carved knife and carved it carefully on the uncensored jade, scratching, picking, and stabbing... Every knife and every step was done with ease.

"Huh~~"

I don’t know how long it took, He Qing had almost finished carving and his mission was completed, so he put away his knife and took a breath.

He Qing was shocked when he turned around subconsciously. He didn't know when Master Lu had already walked back and was standing behind him.

"Master Lu." He Qing said hurriedly, "I've finished it, please take a look. I'm so ugly."

At this moment, Master Lu looked at the jade carving that He Qing had just completed with surprise, and exclaimed: "No, very good! Brother He, you are such a genius! You are young, but you have such good skills! Who is your master?!"

Master Lu praised He Qing's craftsmanship a little loudly. The other jade carvers around him who were working turned around and looked around, with a look of surprise on his face.

Maybe they rarely hear the serious Master Lu praise someone, especially the novice who comes to interview.

"I... I don't have a master, I teach myself. Since I was a child, I prefer to carve my favorite shapes and patterns on objects such as wood and stones. Master Lu makes you laugh." He Qing replied in a daze.

"Self-study?! How is it possible?!" Master Lu's face changed drastically, "No laughing! I just saw your technique. If it weren't for the experienced jade carver, he would never be able to do that. He was so easy and superb! Brother He, do you know?! In this regard, you are a genius who is rare in a century!"

"Master Lu, you've been too rewarded." He Qing shook his head and said modestly. He was a little embarrassed to hear the other party praise him so much.

At the same time, the people next to him were already whispering to He Qing, and the eyes of his eyes were full of envy.

"Brother He, since you have used this work, then take it back and finish it. There is no reference material, and it is all up to you." Master Lu said excitedly, "Do you have a carving knife? There is a pack of carving knives, and you can also take it back to use it. After making the stuff, please remember to take it over and show it to me."

As he said that, he handed the piece of jade and a pack of carving knives to He Qing, and He Qing had no choice but to agree.

A jade carver completes a fine work. Small pieces may be quick, but large pieces last for a week and last for a few years. In other words, no matter how powerful the jade carver is, it is impossible for a jade carver to carve a piece of jade in this moment.

After getting the things, He Qing said goodbye to Master Lu and returned to the reception room.

"He Qing, how is it?" Gu Qing asked nervously when He Qing walked in.

He Qing smiled and said, "Let's wait for news. Gu Qing, let's go back."

"Yes." Gu Qing nodded, then walked out with He Qing.

When passing by the decoration point, He Qing did not forget to walk to pick up the stone with a mysterious aura.

"He Qing, what are you doing with this brick?" Gu Qing said in surprise.

He Qing replied casually: "Give it a carving. Master Lu asked me to find something to carve a work. Anyway, I want to find a stone, so I will find this one. This one has a pretty good look."

"Oh, that's how?" Gu Qing said suddenly.

Then they boarded a taxi and rushed to Antique Street.

He Qing originally wanted to invite Gu Qing to dinner, but the other party refused and said that there was news in the factory.

He Qing did not force him, and he sent Gu Qing to her house and returned to the rented house.

"What's weird about this stone?"

As soon as he returned to the rental house, He Qing sat down and looked around with the stone. After looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't see any name. There was only the lingering "red cloud".

He Qing took out a carved knife and carved it hard on the brick that looked like an ordinary stone for a few times. He tried it casually. Who knew that a small piece of debris fell from the stone and a hole was revealed, and the hole was crystal clear and green inside.

"Huh?! What is that?! Jadeite jade?! Jadeite is hidden in the stone?!"

Seeing this, He Qing was shocked.

It turns out that this is not an ordinary stone, but it contains a huge secret.
