It was now afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, and it was no longer as hot as noon.
"What? Carving, carving? Brother Qin, can you carve?" Zi'er couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, and there was a look of disbelief in her beautiful eyes.
Qin Nan smiled faintly, waved the hammer in his hand, and said with a smile: "You know a little bit, what's wrong?"
Zi'er took a deep breath, and then her expression calmed down, and she said: "No, it's nothing. It's just that Zi'er didn't expect that Brother Qin is so young, not only has extraordinary strength, but he also knows the art of carving."
Qin Nan couldn't help but be a little confused and said: "Is it so strange to know the art of carving?"
Seeing Qin Nan's sincere face, Zi'er realized that Qin Nan had no idea how high the status of the sculptor was in Chu Capital.
Zi'er took a long breath of fresh air and then said: "In Chu Capital, carving is almost the most profitable profession. Those princes, ministers, and nobles all like to buy some carvings to display at home to cultivate their sentiments. But I want to
It is very difficult to become a carver. It is said that many people have been practicing hard for decades and cannot even carve an ordinary still life. Brother Qin is so young, so I was so embarrassed when Brother Qin said that you know how to carve.
."
Qin Nan's eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise when he heard this. Carvers make a lot of money? Then why is his father so good at carving but so poor?
But after thinking about it, Qin Nan understood again. Yes, where is Yunmeng County? It is just a small county, and it is surrounded by mountains. Although the scenery is pleasant, it is not comparable to the big cities in Chu.
compared to.
Moreover, the capital of Chu was where the king stayed, and almost all the dignitaries of Chu State lived here. I am afraid that only those dignitaries would be interested in stone carvings and know how to cultivate their sentiments.
Qin Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. It is indeed very difficult to become a master sculptor. Qin Nan's father also started practicing sculpting at the age of six, and he practiced for more than 30 years before he achieved some achievements. But Qin Nan seemed to be born with it.
He is very talented in carving, so although Qin Nan has less time to practice than his father, his skills are not inferior to his father at all. Zi'er's words are not an exaggeration at all.
The way to carve is to copy the shape of the sculpture first, and first make it look similar. After the shape is exactly the same, you can then take a step closer to making it look like the spirit. The so-called spirit refers to the attitude and expression. Once you have grasped the "spirit" well,
Yes, the carved things are lifelike. Like the eagle Qin Nan saw just now, it looks similar, but its expression is dull, and it can only be regarded as a middle-grade one.
Qin Nan didn't say much, and immediately picked up the tools and started carving on the marble. Since entering the Ximen Mansion, Qin Nan had not carved again. It was only now that he came to Chu Capital that his hands and feet were free, so he had time to carve.
Ichiban.
Zi'er stood behind Qin Nan and looked at Qin Nan carefully. She saw Qin Nan holding a hammer in one hand and a drill in the other, walking quickly up and down the huge marble, and streaks of gravel and dust kept falling from the marble.
, within a moment, Qin Nan removed the water chestnuts around the irregular marble and made it regular.
"Brother Qin, you are so awesome." Although Zi'er didn't know how to carve, she couldn't help but secretly admire Qin Nan when she saw how easily Qin Nan had turned the originally irregular boulder into such a smooth one.
Qin Nan didn't look back and said with a faint smile: "Is this just the beginning?"
Ignoring Zi'er's surprise, Qin Nan looked at the smooth boulder and began to ponder. After a moment, Qin Nan's eyes shot out a light. Then, Qin Nan's face showed a look of confidence.
His hands kept waving again, and layers of debris fell from the boulders.
The whole process was long, but Zi'er still stood motionless behind Qin Nan and watched. At this moment, more than an hour had passed since Qin Nan started carving. The sun had also set in the west, and the entire sky turned into a golden color.
At this time, Zi'er's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and she looked at the boulder in front of Qin Nan with a look of great surprise on her face. No, it can no longer be said to be a boulder at this moment, it should be said to be a stone sculpture.
At this moment, the stone sculpture in front of Qin Nan already showed a human figure. It was obvious that Qin Nan was carving a human figure. What shocked Zi'er was that this human figure seemed to be not much different from the eagle carved by Master Qian Dongbo, and
Qin Nan hasn't finished it yet, and Zi'er really can't imagine how lifelike it will be when Qin Nan completes it.
There were a few beads of sweat hanging on Qin Nan's face. He had not carved for a long time, which made Qin Nan's skills a little rusty. Fortunately, Qin Nan's strength became much stronger after he became a warrior. Since he reached the realm of true energy, his strength
It is extremely powerful, and as long as you control the true energy, you can control the strength, which is very important for carving. Therefore, although Qin Nan has not carved for a long time, Qin Nan can carve this statue with great ease.
Zi'er looked at the increasingly clear stone statue and couldn't help but feel excited. However, Zi'er was not an ignorant girl. She understood that this moment had reached a critical moment and immediately held her breath for fear of disturbing Qin Nan.
After a cup of tea, Qin Nan let out a breath, put down the tools in his hands and looked at the stone carving in front of him.
I saw that what Qin Nan was carving was none other than his father Qin Zhentian. If Zi'er had seen Qin Zhentian, I'm afraid she would have covered her mouth and exclaimed, because it was so similar. It was so similar. The stone statue carved by Qin Nan looked exactly like Qin Zhentian.
It seems to be printed from the same mold.
Qin Nan looked at the stone statue in front of him, feeling homesick in his heart. However, the head of the Ximen family finally agreed to take care of his father. The Song family was no longer able to threaten his father. Qin Nan felt a little more at ease when he thought of this.
Zi'er stared blankly at Qin Nan's work, her little cherry mouth opened wide, and she was stunned for a long time, then hesitantly said: "Qin, Brother Qin, you are really amazing, I'm afraid you can already catch up with this stone sculpture
Master Qian Dongbo! If I hadn’t been watching, I really couldn’t believe that this stone statue was actually made by Brother Qin..."
Qin Nan looked at the stone statue, shook his head, and said with a bitter smile: "It seems that I haven't carved for a long time, and my skills have dropped to this level. Although the true energy in my body makes it easier for me to carve, but now I
It seems that the control of the true energy in the body is not perfect enough."
Zi'er couldn't help but become even more shocked when he heard this: "Isn't this the true strength of Brother Qin? This stone statue is no less inferior to Master Qian Dongbo. If this is not the true strength of Brother Qin, then what will Brother Qin do to you?"
How terrifying is your skill in carving? Brother Qin is only twelve years old!"
Thinking of this, Zi'er's delicate body couldn't help but tremble, and her heart became even more excited.
Qin Nan frowned and pondered for a while. Zi'er behind him didn't dare to disturb him and kept standing behind Qin Nan. It wasn't until half an hour later that Qin Nan came to another huge stone and picked up the tools to carve it.
