"Granite, ......"

Huang Wuwu squatted beside him, looking at the materials in front of him, a little worried.

He is not very proficient in his skills, but he does know that stone carving, especially fine stone carving, granite carving is really a bit laborious.

"No problem. Moreover, there are many kinds of not only granite, but also marble. Xu Wen said with a smile, very relaxed.

Huang Wuwu is still worried, marble is of course a very good stone, soft in nature, easy to handle, but there are not many of them, and most of the stonemasons have only learned bluestone carving, may not have started this marble.

"It's okay, I'll come. Listening to his words, Xu Wen was still not worried.

Are you coming?

Huang Wuwu raised his eyebrows, and this time he didn't speak.

This is granite, and the old people in the inner pavilion will also have a hard time seeing it.

What's more, what they are going to do now is not a one-to-one physical object, but a miniature hot sample.

The difficulty can be multiplied.

Xu Wen can really do it?

Xu Wen narrowed his eyes and looked at the new city in front of him, as if he was in deep thought.

It didn't take long for him to get his hands dirty.

The new city is divided into two parts, the palace in the inner city and the new city in the outer city.

The outer city is a dwelling, and no matter from the actual point of view or the requirements of the etiquette system, there is no need for too ornate carvings and decorations.

Granite has been used as a stone carving material for shaping since ancient times, and within a certain range of precision, these Nanyue craftsmen can also complete it.

Of course, in order to unify and beautiful, they can't be completely free to play, and there are still certain requirements.

Xu Wen drew a rough pattern, listed one, two, three or four basic rules, and explained it to the camel.

There is only a general framework, everyone has their own ideas, and on a certain basis, Xu Wen also hopes that they can exert their creativity.

Then, it was time for Xu to ask about his work.

Do not use the palace.

In fact, this should be what the presiding judge wants to see.

The earliest revealed campaign items included both collective and individual parts, and the presiding judge wanted to see not only the ability of the chief officials to organize their work, but also their personal strength in skills.

Now, it's time to showcase.

Sculpture and architecture are not two separate parts from each other, but a whole, as are the city and the palace.

Before formulating its composition and details, Xu Wen thought deeply about its "theme".

The palace is not used, and the intention of its construction is very clear, that is, to welcome foreign envoys.

Therefore, on the one hand, it needs to appear cordial and friendly, and on the other hand, it needs to show the temperament and style of Da Zhou itself.

So, what is the theme of the big week?

What kind of country is it?

Xu Wen thought for a long time.

If he is a real Xu Wen who belongs to this era, he came out of the countryside, walked to Yushui County, walked to Lin Luo Mansion, went through the apprenticeship test, and came to the Western Desert. What did he feel the most during this journey?

If he were an outsider who looked at the world from the eyes of a complete spectator and compared it to his own world, what would be his greatest feeling?

He had been thinking about this question for a long time, and then in the middle of a sleepless night, he got the answer and decided to make it the theme of the palace design.

That's "change".

This world is actually very strange, it cannot be broken, it does not belong to any dynasty known to Xu Wen, there is only a short history, and there is no coherent system, which is very illogical in itself.

It's like it's one of those parts taken from some world, stuffed here, and then slowly changing itself, slowly convincing itself, forming a broken and complete self.

But even so, Xu Wen can still clearly feel that the world is in a crack, the old and the new, the tradition and the future are colliding with each other, and some new things are beginning to appear.

The inner pavilion and glass are now called the Western Desert Team of the Moon Age...... Tiangong, Mogong, Jingyingfu......

That's right, this is the class world that Xu Wen feels, and this is the "big week" that Xu Wen feels!

Once the theme was formulated, various elements came into being, and countless images came to mind.

He began to draw by brush, then finalized and began to work.

Huang Wuwu thought that stone was the most troublesome part, but in fact, Xu Wen didn't take this problem to heart from the beginning.

And when the theme of the entire palace was formulated, he was really relieved and had a bottom in his heart.

Huang Wuwu is responsible for management, and is also responsible for the operation and logistics of the entire team in Nanyue, and there are still a lot of things to do every day.

When he finally had some time to spare, he decided to go over and see what Xu Wen was doing.

Xu Wen turned his back to him and couldn't see the movements of his hands clearly, but Huang Wuwu heard the voice first.

The sound of ordinary stonemasons carving stones is "ding, ding, ding, ding", with a clear rhythm, smooth and rhythmic, very beautiful.

But this is not the case from Xu Wen at this time.

Ding Ding, the dense sound is almost connected into a line, but the obvious rhythm can be felt in the middle, as if the rhythm of Huang Wuwu's familiarity has been accelerated by ten times!

But hearing this voice, Huang Wuwu not only did not be happy, but frowned.

No matter how fast the speed is, the quality is not good, and it will not pass.

He has seen a lot of young people, busy showing off their skills and making bells and whistles, but as a result, they can't look at the things they make, so they can only be scrapped.

Xu Wen must not be in a hurry......

He clenched his fists and spun around.

The weather was fine, and the winter sun was shining warmly on Xu Wen.

Xu Wen sat on a small pony with a piece of granite in front of him, holding a hammer and chisel in his hands.

The chisel kept moving, the hammer kept falling, and the tinkling sound was connected into a line, with almost inaudible pauses in between.

In the sunlight, large and small stones and stone chips fall one after another, pile up on the stone platform, and then fall to the ground, glittering.

Then, the shape gradually emerged from the stone, as if it existed here, Xu Wen just saw it, and then removed the impurities around it.

Stone is hard but brittle, lacks toughness and is prone to breakage. The thing carved by Xu Wen is only the size of a palm, and the subtleties of such a small thing are especially prone to problems.

But in Xu Wen's hands, it was carved out so easily like wood, like cotton bricks, like anything that was moderately soft and hard and easy to handle.

If it weren't for the fact that the shape of the granite was special enough and Huang Wuwu could recognize it at a glance, he would have thought that Xu Wen had changed the material!

Such a hard and brittle material, such a fast speed, there will be cracks if he is not careful, Huang Wuwu didn't dare to make a sound to disturb, and even held his breath, for fear of making a little sound, which would make Xu Wen make a mistake.

However, Xu Wen maintained the same speed and precision from beginning to end.

In an instant, in front of Huang Wuwu's eyes, this stone carving was completed.
