Early the next morning!

Peng Fei came to the jade carving factory again and entered the workshop where the iron pillar was located, only to find that the iron pillar was still carving words on the stone tablet with a carving knife.

But this time, Peng Fei was surprised to find that it was only one night later, and the carving knife of the iron pillar was able to carve words on the stone tablet, although it seemed to be difficult, but at least it was done.

Peng Fei's eyes fell on the iron pot on the side again, but he sighed in his heart, no wonder this society now pays attention to fighting fathers, a good father can really struggle for decades, and on the iron pillar, that is, a good uncle can also struggle for decades.

"Tiezhu, rest, we're going to join the competition in a moment. Peng Fei opened his mouth and interrupted the iron pillar carved intently.

"Oh, Uncle Peng, wait a minute. ”

After the iron pillar carved the last word, he put down the carving knife in his hand, and then, looking at the words engraved by himself on the stone tablet, his face finally showed a happy color, and his right hand subconsciously squatted up a bowl beside him, and drank the golden liquid in it in one gulp.

"Uncle Peng, we can go. After putting down the bowl, Tie Zhu said to Peng Fei.

Peng Fei glanced at the bowl that Tie Zhu put down, he just saw clearly that the liquid in this bowl was golden, that is to say, the liquid in this bowl was not the pot of liquid, but in the same way, Peng Fei also knew that this must also be Mr. Qin's handiwork.

Since even the liquid used for the iron pillar to wash his hands is so precious, let alone the golden liquid used to drink the iron pillar.

Of course, Peng Fei didn't ask, because he was afraid that after asking, the results he got would make him as shocked as last night, you know, he didn't sleep well last night when he tossed and turned in bed, as soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of the scene where Mr. Qin kept throwing those precious medicinal materials into the iron pot.

With the iron pillar, Peng Fei went directly towards the competition venue, this time a hundred into ten competitions. It was not held in the open square, but in a hotel.

After Peng Fei arrived at the hotel, Yu Rui and the others were already waiting at the door of the hotel, and Jiang Tingting saw the iron pillar. hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the iron pillar, saying some words of advice in his mouth.

"What about the Qin brothers?" Yu Rui found that only Peng Fei and Tie Zhu got out of the car, and asked with some confusion.

"I don't know, I didn't see Mr. Qin. Peng Fei replied truthfully.

"Brother Tiezhu, come on. Qiao Qiao waved a small pink fist. Shouted at the iron pillar.

Zhou Wei, who was standing on the side of Qiaoqiao, smiled at the iron pillar, with encouragement in his eyes, only Liu did not complain, and still had a cold face.

Qiao Qiao, Liu Bu Resentment, Tie Zhu, Qian Duoduo and Zhou Wei, these five people are of the same generation, except for Zhou Wei, who is slightly older, the other four are not a few years apart.

Maybe even Qin Yu didn't expect that ten years later, there would be a lot of grievances and entanglements between these five, of course. This is a matter for later, and is beyond the scope of this book.

"Iron pillar, just keep a normal heart and play steadily. Leng Rou also said on the side.

"Hmm. Tie Zhu nodded heavily, and then walked to the exclusive rest area for the contestants, and Leng Rou and them were led by Peng Fei to the guest area, while Yu Rui sat on the judges' seat.

The second round of the top ten competition of the Tiangong Cup Jade Carving Competition is much more difficult than the preliminary round. Not only is each contestant required to complete a jade carving within five hours, but the most important thing is that this jade carving is still a semi-finished product.

Each contestant will come up to the stage to draw a number, and this number. There is a corresponding semi-finished jade carving, and what the contestants have to do is to complete the rest of the carving work according to the semi-finished jade carving, and carve out a finished jade carving.

The number drawn by Tie Zhu on the stage was 27, and when Tie Zhu returned to his seat, a staff member had already come to Tie Zhu with a tray covered with a red cloth. The red cloth is then lifted to reveal the half-finished jade carving inside.

This is a square piece of jade, only the upper half of which is carved, and this upper half is the head of a phoenix, which means that Tie Zhu's task today is to carve out the lower body of this phoenix.

Seeing the semi-finished jade carving on the iron pillar table, Yu Rui was slightly relieved, the phoenix is a carved line of often carved patterns, it is no exaggeration to say that the phoenix and the dragon are the two sacred beasts that almost all carvers know by heart.

Yu Rui has been a judge of several Tiangong Cup, he knows that the most afraid of this second level is to encounter some strange semi-finished jade carvings, remember that there was once a Tiangong Cup competition, a popular contestant in this level, but drew a very strange jade carving semi-finished product, the jade carving carved patterns are almost rare, the player does not know how to start, in the end, but lost the qualification to become the top ten.

Of course, after the competition, the provider of the finished jade carving was also scolded by many people, and even caused many contestants to protest, since then, the organizer has not got some very cold semi-finished jade carving, but even if there are no cold jade carving works, but among the 100 jade carving works, there are also difficulties and eases.

Therefore, in this round, luck sometimes plays a big part.

It should also be noted that in the first and second rounds of the competition, the rough embryo of jade was made by the organizer, and the test was only the carver of the carver, otherwise, if you want to polish and drill, or even cut jade, it will be too late for a few hours.

When the iron pillar began to be carved, in a row of positions on the iron pillar, not far from the iron pillar, sat a man about forty years old, and the half-finished jade carving in front of the middle-aged man's table was a piece of Fu Shoulu.

The so-called Fu Shou Lu refers to the style of this jade carving is that the upper half is Fu Shou Lu, and the lower half is blank, that is, the middle-aged man has to imagine what the lower half should carve.

However, after the man looked at the jade carving for a while, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the next moment, his right hand was raised, and a carving knife appeared in his hand, and at the moment when the carving knife appeared, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly became very serious, and the momentum of the whole person completely changed from before.

Whew!

The man's hand was very fast, and at first, none of the onlookers and judges paid attention to it, but as time went by, some guests noticed this scene, and then, the voices of surprise came and went one after another.

"Look at that guy, look at his hands. ”

"Where?"

"That's it, seventh in the sixth row. ”

As the guests discussed, more and more people looked at the contestant, and even the judges in the judges' seat were shocked.

"It's ......"

The expressions of many judges on the judges' bench also became shocked, and one of the judges' lips trembled a little, "What did I see, is this the Shadowless Knife Technique that has been lost." ”

In everyone's eyes, they only saw that the middle-aged man's right hand turned into an afterimage and shrouded the entire jade carving, and under the shadow of the hand, pieces of jade flew out.

"Rub, how did this man's hand do it at such a speed, it's like watching a movie. Mo Yongxing in the guest seat was also stunned, how did this person do it.

"Did you hear what the judges said just now, this is called the Shadowless Knife Method, I really think where I have heard this kind of carving knife method. One of the guests on the guest table fell into thought, and the person who could get the guest position was either the relatives and friends of the contestants, or people in the jade carving industry, or enthusiasts and collectors who were interested in jade carving.

"Shadowless knife method, is a jade carving master in the Tang Dynasty handed down, but unfortunately to the Qing Dynasty has been lost, according to legend, shadowless knife carving only to see the hand shadow does not see the carving knife, once the hand shadow disappears, is the carving is completed. ”

On the judges' bench, one of the judges stared intently at the young man's hand figure, but his mouth was slowly speaking.

And just when everyone's eyes were paying attention to the middle-aged man's body, on the other side, a young man in his early twenties showed a trace of disdain on his face, and then withdrew his gaze from the middle-aged man, looking at the jade carving in front of him, but there was an extra carving knife as white as jade in his hand.

The young man's way of holding the knife is also very strange, the thumb and middle finger are clasped on the carving knife, while the index finger is pressed on the carving knife, and the jade carving in his hand is carefully carved.

"Who recommended that contestant?" Everyone on the judges' bench was discussing the origin of the middle-aged man.

Yu Rui listened to the discussion of these judges around him, but his expression became a little serious, this middle-aged man showed this hand, I am afraid that the first place this time will be decided in advance, but fortunately, he just asked Tie Zhu to strive for the top three.

In the second round of the competition, the middle-aged man dominated the limelight alone, and the other players were all overshadowed, and everyone was discussing the identity of the young man and the shadowless knife technique.

After the competition, all the players left, and Peng Fei also took Jiang Tingting to wait for the iron pillar in the hotel, but after waiting for a long time, they didn't see the iron pillar come out.

"Peng Fei, don't wait, the iron pillar was taken away by Brother Qin, Brother Qin just came, and left in a hurry with the iron pillar. Yu Rui, who walked out of the hotel, said to Peng Fei and the others.

"Uncle Shi took the iron pillar away?" Jiang Tingting was a little surprised, what did Uncle Shi want to do mysteriously.

Yu Rui spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Peng Fei, you take Mo Shao and them to dinner, I have to be with the judges at noon, and I have to score the jade carvings of the contestants in the afternoon, so I won't accompany everyone. ”

"Well, Brother Zhuang, you don't have to accompany us. Mo Yongxing nodded, and then, with Peng Fei, they led everyone towards a nearby restaurant. (To be continued.) )
