Gu Mao knew that he might have little hope, that he had passed the golden age of a craftsman.

In a few years, he may also contract some diseases, such as Parkinson's or something, and then he will really be powerless.

His master studied all his life, but in the end he still found nothing, and he still remembered it before he died, if he was really lucky enough to see such a stunt......

There's nothing to think about, Gu Mao just thinks about it, just take a picture and burn it to his master in front of the grave.

With Gu Mao's anxious expression in his eyes, he naturally knew what he wanted to say.

didn't let him say it, Lu Zi'an poured a cup of tea, smiled and handed it to him: "It's just that I thought it would ...... Such a stunt, Master Ma may prefer to be completed by Ma Ye's descendants. ”

Indeed, Ma Zheng said so, but he was too preoccupied at that time and didn't think of this layer.

Gu Mao took a sip of tea and smiled helplessly: "But this, it's not easy to talk about." ”

Yes, indeed.

Qian Tian and Qian Yi, who were present, glanced at each other and silently lowered their heads.

The room was quiet, Lu Zi'an didn't speak again, as if the tea in front of him was particularly delicious, and he tasted the tea by himself.

"Master. In the end, Qian Tian was bold and raised his head: "I, I think, I can let Master Lu try it first." ”

Gu Mao was not angry, and said with a pleasant face: "Be careful." ”

Glancing at Lu Zi'an, Qian Tian plucked up his courage: "I have now practiced to the thinnest and can reach 0.9 mm...... But I couldn't break through ......"

The implication is that if Lu Zi'an can give some guidance, maybe he can break through.

Maybe Lu Zi'an made a 0.8 mm thick one, and he might be able to comprehend it on his own.

Frowning slightly, Gu Mao hesitated.

However, after Lu Zi'an looked at Qian Tian a few times, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's a little interesting." ”

He gently put down the teacup and stood up calmly: "Come with me." ”

It's that simple?

They haven't said anything......

Gu Mao's eyes burst into surprise, and although he had some doubts, he gritted his teeth and followed.

Lu Zi'an led the group to the conference room on the eighteenth floor.

The conference room was brightly lit and everyone was busy in earnest.

Everybody does something different, but they're all very serious.

Hearing the movement, everyone turned around and shouted one after another, "Master!"

Lu Zi'an bowed slightly, revealing a satisfied expression: "Sit down and continue to do your own thing." ”

He walked over to the side of the material box, picked it up, and pulled out two crystals.

Qian Tian was glanced at by him, and walked over with a blank face: "Master Lu......"

"It's always broken if it's 0.9 mm?" Lu Zi'an patted the crystal lightly: "Try this." ”

Crystal!

Not only was Qian Tian dumbfounded, but even Gu Mao felt a little choked in his throat.

Glancing back and forth between Crystal and Lu Zi'an, Gu Mao said with difficulty: "Master Lu...... Will the crystal ......" is a little too difficult.

Although crystal is not as expensive as jade, it is more difficult than the skill of jade carving.

Compared with jade carving, crystal carving has higher requirements for the creator.

It requires the creator to have more refined carving skills and a more calm and clear state of mind.

The toughness of the crystal is small, it is brittle when forced, and the texture is transparent, and even imperfections that are not visible to the naked eye can be seen through optical reactions, so a flawless piece is very difficult to complete.

Before that, Qian Tian never even thought that the crystal could be used to carve gold and silver.

Qian Tian said with some embarrassment: "I haven't tried to use crystal ...... before."

"Okay, I'll have someone demonstrate. Lu Zi'an casually pointed to an apprentice: "Ah Hui, come here." ”

Lu Ahui was suddenly named, but he got up without the slightest panic.

He walked over and respectfully called Master.

"Have you practiced crystal?" Lu Zi'an glanced at the semi-finished product he was making just now, it was a jade Buddha, not bad.

Although he wanted to nod, Lu Ahui could only shake his head honestly: "I haven't practiced." ”

"That's good. Lu Zi'an clicked the table: "Try it, make a mistake with this piece of gold and silver." ”

Even if it was such a strange request, Lu Ahui still didn't have any questions, and didn't even ask what it was going to look like, and went straight back to his seat and took the toolbox.

Although it was the first time for Lu Ahui to show his skills in front of so many people, he did not show the slightest panic.

He clenched the knife as usual, took out the soft satin and slowly wiped it clean.

After a gesture, he started to cut from the top of the crystal.

The price of crystal is too low-grade, so when it comes to crystal carving, it is generally smiling.

For a while, it was very popular in the "Straight Man Gift", and the crystal seal portrait became the first place.

The second place is crystal carving, which uses laser carving technology to "engrave" a flat or three-dimensional pattern on the inside of the crystal glass.

Of both of these, the prices are very cheap.

This is also the deepest doubt in Gu Mao's heart, isn't this a flat pull down the grade of gold and silver!

Seeing his thoughts, Lu Zi'an just smiled slightly and didn't explain much.

Under Ah Hui's knife, the crystal was gradually peeled off layer by layer.

The original square shape has been slowly trimmed into a sleek bottle, one knife at a time, not in a hurry.

Everyone else was looking at the crystal, but Gu Mao was looking at people.

His gaze swept over Ying Xuan and fell on the others.

Lu Ahui didn't feel excited or nervous at all, as if it was just an ordinary exercise.

The others didn't care at all, everyone was doing their own things, and their eyes were inadequate.

And Lu Zi'an didn't mean to point out at all, sitting on the side and playing with his mobile phone.

Everything is completely different from the master-apprentice relationship in his heart.

Since you are exposed to new content, shouldn't you be a master and teach it by hand?

No matter how bad it is, you should stand by and watch nervously, and if something is wrong, correct it immediately.

Why is Lu Zi'an like no one?

In his mind full of doubts, Lu Ahui had already begun to inlay the gold and silver.

To their horror, he not only dug out the grooves and inlaid them with gold wires, but he also combined them into patterns, setting several gems at the junction of each line.

Pressed wire inlay.

This is a level that even Gu Mao can't reach, and looking at his skill, it seems like he's done it countless times.

The gold filaments as thin as cow's hair crisscross the surface of the crystal.

A clear pattern is drawn, with a sparkling sapphire set at each junction.

It was a wonderful shade between indigo and sky blue, each one crystal was so moist that the whole crystal glowed with a faint blue light.

Gu Mao gripped the back of the chair hard, and his muscles were exposed.

And Qian Tian next to him was already bloodless.

Until then, he was lucky.

thinks that his skills are also outstanding, and his diligent practice for a while has allowed him to gain a firm foothold among his brothers and sisters.

That's why I have some confidence to dare to make that suggestion.

But this little bit of self-confidence, in front of Lu Ahui, was hit to pieces.

At this time, Lu Ahui was already starting to dig.

Truly as thin as a cicada's wings, and as transparent as possible.

Although the body of the pot is not large, this skill is real.

Clear and transparent crystal, embedded with gold wire, golden light, crystal clear, noble and elegant.

The gold wire is a round wire, one is positive in color, and the other is soft and easy to press.

The warm luster of sapphire and the dazzling metallic luster of gold shine together, forming a strong sense of chromatic aberration, like the stars in the night, which is particularly dazzling, making the ornament more prominent and delicate.

The most surprising thing is that Lu Ahui is not nervous at all.

He dug cleanly, one layer, two layers......

Dig layer by layer, until finally, the whole body is thin and transparent, if it is not inlaid with gemstones, it will even feel that the object has disappeared.

"Master. Lu Ahui finally stopped, and said a little shyly: "I can't dig thinner." ”

"Polishing the inner wall. Lu Zi'an didn't reply.

"Oooh. Lu Ahui picked up the sandpaper and polished it carefully.

Even the polishing technique is extremely professional.

When he stopped, he didn't need to speak at all, and Gu Mao, who was waiting anxiously, had already stepped forward and measured it carefully.

0.85 mm.

Although it is only 0.05 mm thinner than Qian Tian, it is ...... It's crystals!

It should not be difficult to achieve this level with crystal, and it should not be difficult to break through 0.8 mm in jade......

Even Lu Zi'an's apprentice can do this, and he even asked Lu Zi'an to show it in person just now......

Qian Tian's face turned pale, and he couldn't come back to his senses when he looked at this gold wire inlaid sapphire kettle.

At this moment, he clearly perceived what it means to have a sky outside the sky and people outside the world.

However, Lu Zi'an walked over and took a look, and only nodded: "It's okay." ”

Lu Ahui looked modest: "I will work harder in the future." ”

How hard do you have to try?

All kinds of roars in the hearts of the disciples: this gold and silver crystal pot is exquisite, fully embodies the infinite beauty of gold, gems and crystals, especially this inlay technique, which makes the shape, pattern, color, quality, luster and workmanship of the utensils have reached a perfect realm.

Isn't that enough? If they do half the way, they'll be crazy!

Turning his head to look at Gu Mao, Lu Zi'an's voice was calm: "Master Gu......"

"Master Lu. Gu Mao looked at him seriously and sincerely: "I want my apprentices to come and study with your apprentices. ”

In order to avoid Lu Zi'an's misunderstanding, he quickly added: "Just follow it, tell the truth......"

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he also had to admit: "It's embarrassing that your apprentices may have the ability to teach my apprentices." ”

Lu Zi'an thought for a moment before nodding: "Okay, but it's ......"

"Please, let's talk about it in detail...... "Gu Mao came this time, naturally he was full of sincerity, and seeing that Lu Zi'an was loose and single, he quickly seized this opportunity.

The apprentices' eyes lit up, they looked at each other, and their faces were beaming with joy.

And this situation is also playing out in many places at the same time.

As a result, without any mental preparation from everyone, a group of young craftsmen suddenly emerged in the industry, completely disrupting the pace of the old school.
