"What's ......" Meng Ping looked at the thing in his hand suspiciously.

It was said to be a wooden box, but the seams were so smooth that if it wasn't for a little decoration, he would even think it was a wooden block.

The lid was very tight, and the buckle seemed to be a mechanism, and Meng Ping pondered for a while before finding the trick and opening it.

Then he froze.

There is a piece of white velvet in the wooden box, and through the velvet, a jade ornament is fastened in the recess in the box.

It carved a cat, a little fat and a little fierce. It's very cleverly designed. It is an ice floating flower, and the carver used the jade floating flower as the coat color of the flower cat, and it was vividly expressed.

Meng Ping recognized it almost immediately, it was the raccoon cat named Da Chun in the courtyard outside!

At the same time, he also recognized the color of the water seed of this piece of jadeite, needless to say, it was the one he saw Xu Wen open from the rough stone yesterday.

Circling around, it was carved into shape and returned to his hands.

"It's a good carving, thank you?" Meng Ping smiled suddenly, and began to look at its carving with a scrutinizing gaze.

After a few glances, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Wen on the other side of the workbench. After a few more moments, he walked over slowly, watching his movements through the glass door.

Xu Wen had only been in for a few minutes, and the stone ball had basically taken shape, and he could see the round shape!

About half an hour later, Xu Wen walked out of the glass cubicle, patted the lime on his hand, and handed him the work he had just completed, along with the original sample.

If it weren't for the fact that the stone used as a raw material was a little different, Meng Ping might not even recognize the difference between the two.

They are of the same material, the same size, and all the same round, without a trace of undulation, without a single chisel mark, and it is completely impossible to see that they were done with the most basic tools.

After a while, Meng Ping's gaze finally moved away from the stone ball and asked, "Do you know how long I've been working on this sample?"

"It should be about the same time. Xu asked.

"Then do you know how long it took me to do this when I first tried to do it?" Meng Ping asked again.

This time Xu asked that he couldn't answer, and he shook his head.

"Three years. Meng Ping replied.

Xu Wen did not speak.

"I gave you this task today, originally to give you a dismount and let you know that Mengzi Bafa is not such a simple thing. Only by practicing the eight methods of Mengzi to the realm of transformation can such a round ball be completed. You will feel this clearly the first time you try and you can't get it. I didn't expect ......" Meng Ping looked at Xu Wen, his eyes were very complicated, "There are always some people in this world who will break through your imagination......"

Xu Wen still didn't speak.

In Meng Ping's opinion, he only learned the eight methods of Meng Zi yesterday, and he can do it to such an extent today, which is probably a real genius.

But only he knows, this is not the case, after going back yesterday, he took advantage of Xu Zhai's special time situation, repeatedly practiced the eight methods of Mengzi, until this newly learned skill, really turned into his own mastery.

He didn't know how long it would take, but it was certainly not as simple as Meng Ping thought.

In fact, talent also needs sweat to accumulate, even if his master is even Tianqing, a half-step heavenly craftsman, Xu Wen has never seen him have any idle time.

is not thinking, or practicing, only this little by little tempering, can create the legendary amazing talent.

However, Xu Zhai's situation was indeed special, and he couldn't explain it to Meng Ping, so he had to misunderstand.

"You carved this yesterday?" Meng Ping didn't bother much, he held up the jade carved cat and asked.

"Yes, I carved it after practicing. The skills are not perfect, and I also ask Mr. Meng for advice. Xu asked.

"It's a good carving, it's a clever idea, especially with the natural flowers as the coat color. However, in terms of carving, it is still a little jerky and a little hesitant. "Meng Ping is very strict.

"Yes. I have to practice more. Xu asked.

"I'll take this, you still have the rough stone there, right, and there should be a piece of jade in it. You go back and carve it for me, and you have to carve it better than this. Meng Ping said very politely.

The jadeite given to Xu Wen, he nakedly said that he would take it back, and he would take it back after taking care of the carving.

But Xu Wen seemed to think that this was very normal, and he nodded solemnly and answered again.

"You've learned the eight methods of Mengzi thoroughly, and you don't need to practice more. Next, I will teach you Meng Jiayang flat carving. Meng Ping walked over to a display shelf, took down a stone sculpture from it, brought it to the glass workshop, and placed it on the stage.

Meng Ping taught very carefully, and Xu Wen learned very quickly.

There are a total of 24 kinds of carving, 12 kinds of brick carvings, and 12 kinds of stone carvings, all of which are derived from the eight methods of Mengzi, and are detailed in place for different stones and bricks.

Meng Ping has no reservations, and he has given all his family skills and lifelong learning, and he is more dedicated than a real master and disciple.

Xu Wen knew that this was a rare opportunity and studied very seriously.

The more he learned, the more surprised he became, the Meng family stone carving deserved to be one of the seven uniques of Wanyuan, not only unique, but also profound!

It contains many different techniques of stone carving and brick carving from ancient times to the present, from south to north, and even many foreign techniques, which can be said to be eclectic and not stingy.

On this basis, Meng Ping also introduced some modern tools and techniques, blending them with tradition, so that the precision and efficiency of sculpture have reached a new height.

Xu Wen's skills came from another world, and he wanted to avoid using modern tools as much as possible.

But as soon as Meng Ping explained a little, he discovered the benefits and advancement of this approach, and after thinking about it, he still began to learn.

The happiest thing for a good teacher is to meet good students, Xu Wen is serious and perceptive, and Meng Ping is also very happy to teach.

Soon, he discovered something very special.

Such a complex skill is certainly not something that can be taught in a day.

The day after Xu Wen came to Qiyu, Meng Ping finished talking about four of the twelve methods of stone carving, and asked Xu Wen to go back to practice and come back tomorrow.

At that time, Xu Wen had all understood and learned these four techniques, but the actual carving was obviously very jerky, and there were still many deficiencies.

Meng Ping was still thinking about letting him practice a little more when he came over tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wen came here the next day, and these four techniques had also been learned extremely well, reaching the level of his eight methods of Mengzi!

Meng Ping was speechless, Xu Wen was indeed talented, but to reach this level, he had gone back and practiced all night after all.

Although it is still amazing to be able to reach this level in such a short period of practice, isn't it even more rare to have such talent and work so hard?

Meng Ping saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but his attitude towards Xu Wen was not gentle, but more severe than before.

Xu Wen didn't mind, he became more and more serious, and he made rapid progress with the progress of the four methods every day, learning it during the day and completely mastering it when he went back at night. Meng Ping was surprised at first, but then he didn't mention it anymore - he was used to it.

A week later, the 24 carving workers of the Meng family Xu Wen finished learning.
