At Lu Zi'an's warning eyes, he smiled defiantly.

Lu Zi'an stared at him expressionlessly, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

He paused lightly on the table with his fingertips, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Do you want to play something exciting?"

Wen Kang was not stage frightened: "Okay, how do you play? Do you want to change your color head?"

He sat halfway against the table, and nodded at Shen Mange arrogantly with his chin, the meaning is self-evident: If the color head is replaced by the little beauty next to him, you can consider it.

Lu Zi'an sneered: "How about using the same root, carving half of each, and winning with skills?"

Same Root...... Root?

Wen Kang frowned slightly, and the thoughts in his mind flew rapidly.

He has also practiced root carving, and because he has been practicing the stunts of the Dongyang Bai family, he is still a little sure.

In particular, one of the Bai family's stunts is "living in the mountains and eating the mountains", which means borrowing the shape and texture of the material to shape the work naturally, if Lu Zi'an carves the other side, he may be able to borrow his ideas, not only the shape can be simpler, but also leave more space for him to show his skills!

The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, Wenkang propped his hands on the table and nodded very chicly: "Okay, as long as you don't think I'm bullying you." ”

"Huh. ”

So the two tables were put together, and Zhuo Peng personally picked a good boxwood root, the boxwood was heavy and solid, and the two people carried it to the stage and made a dull sound when they were placed on the table.

It's just that in this way, Wen Kang sat opposite Lu Zi'an, he tilted his head, and smiled at Shen Mange handsomely: "Little beauty, do you have a boyfriend?"

Shen Mange's face was expressionless: "No." ”

Seeing that she accosted, Wen Kangqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Then what do you think of me? I like you as a gentle little beauty!"

Shen Mange glanced at him calmly: "No." ”

"Why?"

Shen Mange smiled elegantly: "Look in the mirror more, and you will understand the reason for many things." ”

"......" Wenkang didn't expect the seemingly gentle and gentle little girl to speak so harshly, and felt that she had been beaten with a stick, which hurt her heart.

He paused for a moment before he said tenaciously: "Little beauty, you hurt my heart too much, haven't you heard of it?

Shen Mange lowered his eyes and groaned.

Lu Zi'an was a little depressed: What is there to think about here! Just say that he is ugly! Just ugly!

seems to feel that there is a play, Wenkang got closer, his eyes were shining, and he was looking forward to it.

"I'm sorry. Shen Mange glanced at him and didn't apologize: "I don't think it's funny." ”

"......" Wenkang felt that ten thousand arrows pierced his heart, and he stopped talking.

Just as the others were ready, Zhuo Peng announced the start.

Wen Kang was probably still a little annoyed by the unpleasant conversation just now, and he slammed the wooden hammer and chisel on the ground, and the table shook a little.

Lu Zi'an was not affected at all, and stretched out his hand: "Flat knife." ”

So Shen Mange quickly handed over the flat knife, and the cooperation was very tacit.

This root is slightly flattened, and in the case of one person and a half, it is actually not very good to carve, because the root material has been fixed and can no longer be rotated, so it cannot be carved at will.

He directly lifted the knife and shaved off the epidermis, revealing the finely textured, yellow as ivory texture inside.

Boxwood grows slowly, and there is an old saying: it is difficult to grow boxwood for a thousand years.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica" also recorded: "It is difficult for boxwood to grow, and it is only one inch long, and it will retreat when it encounters a leap." ”

And boxwood carving is a round carving technique based on wood carving art, because it is often used to carve gods and Buddhas and other themes, so the materials selected are biased towards smooth and smooth, no scars and knots of wood, with the roots of boxwood trees as the material, extremely rare.

So when everyone saw that the root material that Zhuo Peng moved out turned out to be boxwood, they were a little confused: Is this a competition or a difficulty?

Because many people raised objections, Zhuo Peng was inconvenient to answer them one by one, so he only smiled and said: "Although there are few boxwood roots, it is not nothing, boxwood root carving is to first have roots, and then according to the characteristics of the roots to conceive, excavate the theme, that is, as Picasso said, "face nature, discover nature", which can be said to be "according to aptitude". ”

He paused before saying: "I specially selected such a root material, just to test the creator's imagination ability, only can see the potential beauty of the material, can see the beauty in the ugly, the strange in the decay, and the ingenuity in the chaos, this is the real kung fu." ”

I see.

Zou Kai smiled happily on the side: "Mr. Wen's skills are exquisite, such problems are naturally not a problem, don't worry about it, wait to see him show miracles!"

Lu Zi'an has long been accustomed to having people watch when he is creating, so no matter how much they toss, it has no effect on him, but Wenkang is different.

He was originally a little angry because of Shen Mange's words, so he used a little more force when he chiseled the rough blank, although the skin was removed, some of the textures had been destroyed, and it can be said that the opening was not particularly good.

Especially when everyone in the audience coaxed together, his palms were a little sweaty, and he couldn't make up his mind to make up his mind to do a better look.

But when he saw the welcome pine that Lu Zi'an was carving, he suddenly had a bottom in his heart.

It turns out that Lu Zi'an wants to carve "Pine Crane Longevity......

Seeing the direction of the branch, it must have stretched and elongated, so he could borrow the pine branch directly, and the part saved could be carved into more beautiful figures......

Then he will carve a "Lucky Peach Birthday Star", the character carving is always more fine, isn't it better than Lu Zi'an carving some flowers and plants?

Thinking so, he did just that.

He used the hollow digging process to outline a half-leaning and half-lying shape of the birthday star, which held the jade Ruyi, and the boy under the seat held the longevity peach, which means very good.

In particular, his carving is very meticulous, even the beard of the birthday star is meticulously carved, which perfectly highlights the subtlety of his skills, and what is even more rare is that the pine branch on Lu Zi'an's side really extended slightly to the side as he expected, just above his birthday star, not only did not cover the birthday star's demeanor, but did not make a foil to his works.

Wen Kang glanced at it proudly, and saw that Lu Zi'an had already turned to carve the white crane, so he turned his face and continued to carve his boy.

Lu Zi'an just put down the flat knife, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, Shen Mange handed over the file.

A pair of white cranes stand at the right end of the clear pond, and the whole shape is a smooth idea, exploring the spirit and reaching the rhyme, which is extremely natural.

The blade is scattered in the root material, the sawdust is scattered, the rough skin, the wrinkled twists and turns, others directly cut it until it is smooth and flat, but he makes full use of its natural form, skillfully uses the knife technique in the local area, and carves it carefully.

If Wenkang is to discover what the shape of the root of the tree is, what it looks like, and make it, what he pursues is the surface of the body.

Lu Zi'an's imagination in this process is to skillfully borrow nature, call on the soul of its core, and endow the roots with life, emotion and thought, which is a process of rediscovery and recreation.

It's clear which is higher and which is lower.
