This is indeed a difficult problem for Chen Luo. When it comes to carving, there are three things that are most important.
First, the materials, that is, the raw materials used for carving, must be good enough to carve fine products.
The second is craftsmanship, that is, carving technology. The carving technique, lines, and structure directly determine the exquisiteness of the finished product.
The third is meaning, that is, artistic conception. A good stone, if carved step by step, can be a good handicraft at most. To become a fine product, its artistic conception must be taken into consideration, and every carving made must conform to the implication of jade.
texture, texture.
If the knife is cut incorrectly, it may appear to be fine, but in fact it will destroy the artistic structure of the jade.
In this competition, when the jade raw materials are the same, everyone competes in carving skills and artistic conception.
According to Chen Luo's current experience accumulation, if he compares with the carving skills, he doesn't have much advantage. So far, Chen Luo's experience in carving jade is still a little bit of experience in carving pendants for Xiao Ling'er.
Now it is not easy to carve He's jade.
However, Chen Luo also has the advantage of Chen Luo, that is, he has seen the real He's jade. If you only look at the rubbings, you will only see a flat figure. As for the thickness of the texture inside and the thickness of the jade, you don't know.
This is precisely Chen Luo's advantage.
If it can't be called engraving, then just make a complete copy.
Chen Luo made up his mind, no longer hesitated, raised the file, and dropped the knife with his hand.
With a sound of "Puff——", the first cut was made on the jade. This cut seemed to have no rules, but it was a cut that implied a rhythmic structure.
Then, brush, brush, brush——
I saw Chen Luo sometimes closing his eyes and meditating, sometimes raising the knife and lowering it. He cut 3,600 cuts in one breath, and the outline of a round jade biscuit was basically formed.
What's even more valuable is that Chen Luo's seemingly piercing swords are all messy, but they are all combined with the texture and charm of jade and follow the trend. This is due to the blessing of Chen Luo's Demonic Dragon Art, and he knows how to strike.
Only the knife can maintain the original charm of jade to the greatest extent.
After seeing the outline of the jade jade, Chen Luo put down his knife and used thallium nails instead, and began to carve textures on the jade. Just like at the beginning, Chen Luo stopped and worked, sometimes closing his eyes and meditating on memories, and sometimes working in a storm. To an outsider's eyes
From the inside, every time the thallium nail is made, it looks messy, sometimes from the front, sometimes from the back, sometimes from the front, sometimes from the back. After doing this 10,000 times, a piece of jade that has begun to take shape appears in front of my eyes.
At this point, the appearance and large texture structure of He's Bi have been carved.
Chen Luo put down the thallium nail in his hand, picked up a finer carving needle, and began to carve carefully on the jade. Every pattern and every seal character was gradually revealed as if blown away by wind and sand.
After another 20,000 stitches, a crystal clear jade was processed.
It's all based on memory, no tricks.
The original half piece of He's jade seemed to exist in Chen Luo's mind. With the correction and correction of the drawing and rubbings, Chen Luo drew a scoop according to the gourd.
I wonder if the organizing committee will regret this topic now that they know Chen Luo’s true carving method.
If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live forever.
After Chen Luo used a needle to grind out the last eight characters, he put down the carving needle and brushed off the jade chips on it. The whole jade stone suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Only the light and shadow tassels on the surface of the jade biscuit were seen, and a faint Taoist rhyme surrounded it, making it look warm and moist.
It is also full of spirituality, solemn and solemn.
The whole carving process was selfless. Chen Luo looked up and looked at the time. It took a full 6 hours.
Looking around, seven contestants have already completed the carving, and the remaining two are still working hard.
Chen Luo held the jade in his hand, closed his eyes, turned on the Five Yun mode, and felt the charm inside the jade bit by bit.
It was very good. It was done with good intentions and no force. The whole piece of jade was processed and copied to the maximum extent into a jade bi. Just follow the trend. In Chen Luo's eyes, everything was so perfect!
To be honest, Chen Luo was quite satisfied with his craftsmanship. He had never noticed that he had such a talent before.
Wipe your hands, it's time to hand in your homework.
Glancing at Tian Wuji's work, Chen Luo was shocked when he saw that what was placed on the table was a piece of jade that was as smooth as water and integrated into one piece, with no trace of carving at all.
Amazing, Chen Luo couldn't help but secretly admire it. He thought his carving was fine enough, but this cost 36,000 knives.
Then next to it is the work of Tang Shaogu, which is also the same, integrated, like a natural object rather than artificially carved.
It's over, Chen Luo thought to himself, these two guys probably have more than 50,000 sword skills. If they competed purely on sword skills, he would probably lose miserably.
With a lot of trepidation, Chen Luo handed over the jade. The next step was for the judges to get busy. Each piece of jade was numbered and sealed, waiting for the last moment.
Next came Elder Situ's moment again. Situ, smiling, stood in the center of the stage.
"Through the works of the contestants, I see hope! As usual, the judging criteria for the final results are left to it." As the great elder pointed with his finger, everyone saw a familiar thing "Linglong Ticuo".
"You may not know that this Linglong Ticuo and this He's Bi are old acquaintances."
"In the past, Emperor Shaohao tried to put countless jade stones into this exquisite piece in order to listen to the song "A Hundred Birds Pay Attendance to the Phoenix", but he failed."
"Until one day, someone brought this He's Bi. He's Bi and Linglong Ti are a match made in heaven, the best partners."
"When Emperor Shaohao put He's jade into the Linglong Tikuo, Linglong Tikuo began to play music day and night, for three days and three nights without end!"
"As far as I know, the performance of "Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix" is extremely demanding. It must be composed of more than 36 pipes, and no less than 12 types of gold, copper, and jade pipes can be played.
The music of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix."
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this. The last time they used Linglong Titles was still fresh in their minds. At that time, Chen Luo's meteorite jade barely played 36 holes. Others, even if they were better than Tian Wuji, Tang Zhonggu and others, could not
At most twenty rings.
"If you want to play this exquisite piece of music, the secret is that balance is the most important. What is balance? There are only three points: the gold pipe is majestic, the brass pipe is contending, and the jade pipe is crisp and graceful."
"Corresponding to the three, it is the shape, craftsmanship and artistic conception of He's jade, all of which are indispensable."
"If the shape is wrong, the gold tube will not sound. If the craftsmanship is not fine enough, the copper tube will not sound. If the artistic conception of the jade is not right, the jade tube will not sound."
Hearing this, Chen Luo felt a little confident. In terms of craftsmanship alone, he probably wouldn't be in the top three, but in terms of shape, he carved it compared to the original. It was a one-to-one super replica.
After the great elder finished speaking, the hostess pushed Linglong Ticuo to the center of the stage.
The curtain has been raised and the show is about to begin!
