The cigarette in Meng Ping's mouth fell.

The wooden box containing the same jade as before was placed in front of him, and now it was the yellow wax stone inside.

There was no doubt that it had been carved into shape, and Xu Wen had done his job.

Meng Ping has been getting this yellow wax stone for a long time.

Its shape and composition are very special, to say that there are many impurities, but the quality of the yellow wax stone inlaid in it is very high, which can be called the best. If you want to say that it is of good quality, the black stone skin has penetrated too much, and the whole stone is black and yellow, which is difficult to take care of.

Meng Ping has thought about how to deal with this stone for a long time, and he has been unable to do it, so he simply threw it to Xu Wen this time, which can be regarded as one less trouble.

In three days, Xu Wen carved it into a mountain.

It was a mountain when the sun was rising, and there were trees, water, people, and woodcutters carrying their burdens down the mountain.

The sun had just risen, and its bright light spread across the earth, casting shadows on the earth.

The stone flesh of the yellow wax stone is this light, and the stone skin is this shadow.

The whole stone is only seen by the mountain, but there is sunlight everywhere, and there is a strange scene of light and shadow everywhere.

This stone sculpture is meticulously detailed, extremely detailed and precise.

If you look closely, you can see that there is a cat lying on the roof of the mountain house, stretching lazily, a hand stretching out by the window under the eaves, and the woodcutter on the road is looking up at the sky with his hand covered, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is very clear.

The whole scene is very bright and warm, and through it, you can feel the surprise of the sculptor at the rising sun and his love for the world.

Undoubtedly, this stone carving completely makes use of the essential characteristics of this piece of yellow wax jade, exquisite and ingenious and atmospheric, containing extremely strong emotions, is a superb boutique!

Meng Ping is an old stonemason, and of course he sees more than that.

In his opinion, what is more worth studying is the knife work used in this stone carving, and it is this that shocks him the most.

"The craft is not mature enough, Mr. Meng forgive me. Xu asked.

“...... It's true that it's not mature enough. Meng Ping paused and nodded.

Xu Wen is not being modest, and he is not deliberately belittling Xu Wen, both of them are stating the facts.

And this does not mean that Xu Wen has not done well.

He has mastered all the eight methods of Meng characters and the twenty-four carvings of the Meng family taught to him by Meng Ping, and on this basis, he has further advanced and integrated it with more kinds and even different types of skills, embarking on a new path.

The 24 carvings of the Meng family themselves are a fusion of many different schools, different styles, and different eras' skills, and they are summarized and summarized.

It's broad, but it's limited, and most importantly, it's not good enough.

For example, the eighth and tenth types of carvings in stone carving are difficult to use at the same time and are incompatible with each other, and there are many overlapping parts between stone carving and brick carving, which can actually be simplified and merged, but the master craftsmen who summarized it forcibly separated them in order to pull out the differences, but it is a bit out of logic.

Xu Wen discovered this problem and adjusted it.

And his adjustment is not to improve on the original foundation, but to completely break them up, restore them to a more basic foundation, and then reintegrate them into shape.

The skills he used in this stone carving are obviously derived from the twenty-four carvings of the Meng family, but they are more concise and accurate!

And this is exactly what Meng Ping is trying.

In other words, this stone carving allowed Xu Wen to enter a new realm, a realm that Meng Ping was trying to enter.

If Xu Wen was still his student when he learned from him three days ago, at least in the field of stonemasonry, three days later, Xu Wen has stood on the same starting line with him, even faster and a little ahead than him.

There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the art industry, this old saying does not seem to exist in Xu Wen.

However, it is precisely because this change was pondered by Xu Wen that it has not yet fully matured, so it is now a bit jerky when it is reflected in this stone carving.

This point is hidden very deeply, and the value of stone carving is basically not damaged, and only people like Meng Ping can see it.

And in his opinion, this is not a disadvantage, or even an advantage for Xu Wen.

His spirituality, his contemplation and mastery of his craft, has been able to reach such heights by now. When he is fully proficient, what will the work he will look like at that time?

After a moment of frustration, Meng Ping was even more excited and looking forward to it.

"Not bad. He commented briefly, stroking his fingers over the stone sculpture and asking, "What are you going to name it?"

"Let's call it Donglian Mountain. Xu Wen thought for a moment and replied.

"Donglian Mountain, why haven't I heard this name?" Meng Ping frowned.

"Just think it's a mountain in my imagination. Donglian Mountain, is a mountain peak in the east of Wulian Mountain, located in the central west, mainly with cave buildings. The village on the mountainside is called Yangping Village, and there is a family in it......" Xu Wen smiled slightly, reminiscing about it.

"You're pretty complete. Meng Ping said with a strange expression.

"Haha, indeed, when I made it, it was really like I saw it. Xu Wen squinted his eyes and said.

“...... Very good. Meng Ping finally said this.

After the yellow wax stone carving is completed, Xu Wen will officially come out of Meng Ping.

In fact, the skills of the Meng family are not limited to this, in addition to the 24 carvings of the Meng family, there are three to five variations of each carving, which can be regarded as the evolution of the actual production process.

Meng Ping demonstrated Xu Wen one by one, but it was just a demonstration, no introduction, no explanation, and even the names of these changes were not mentioned.

This is not because he wants to hide his secrets - he is still counting on Xu Wen to pass on the Meng family's mastery, what else is there to hide?

He just didn't feel necessary.

All changes are based on the evolution of the foundation, in fact, it is only a summary of the experience of the stonemason on a particular craft or special situation.

In fact, as long as the foundation is familiar and the brain is good, you will naturally be able to come up with different treatment plans, or even better than this. Why pass it on as the only answer?

Meng Ping showed it to Xu Wen, which was to enrich his database and let him understand that he could take this path. As for how to get there, it's up to him.

With Xu Wen's spirituality and understanding of the craft, he believes he can find a better way.

Meng Ping didn't actually explain these words, but Xu Wen easily understood.

From the eight methods of Meng characters to the twenty-four carvings of the Meng family, the skills of the Meng family have always been eclectic.

"Do you have a connection with Wenchuan?" After all the demonstrations, Meng Ping wiped his sweat and asked Xu Qian.

After all, he is old, and it is indeed very physically exhausting to do such a set.

Xu Wen had said this when he first met him, and it was not strange for him to remember it, but he brought it up at this time......

"Yes, I'm sorting out my skills and preparing to hand them over. The information and databases they already have have also helped me a lot. Xu asked and answered truthfully.

"Oh, then go back and sort out all the things I taught you. I'll save you trouble. Meng Ping said very casually.

The last time he talked about this matter, Meng Ping was still a little noncommittal, why did he suddenly change after not seeing him for a few days?

"I just don't think it's interesting. Let's just say that the master who taught you carpentry must also be an extraordinary person. Where is the turn to hide this little thing in our family? After secretly learning so many other people's things, why can't we let others learn from us?" Meng Ping said what he thought in his heart, and in the end he didn't know what he said.

"Anyway, so be it. He waved his hand, picked up a cigarette, and turned to look at the yellow wax stone sculpture next to him.
