This gesture doesn't have much meaning, it's just a kind of identity certification, which was taught to him by his master Chang Tai, and this gesture is also a sign of respect for the elders.

"The identity of the juniors is a little special, and I ask the seniors to forgive the disrespect of the juniors for not taking off their sunglasses. ”

Lin Yue said very sincerely, when he saw the elders, he should take off his sunglasses, but the traffic on this street was too large, and he was really afraid that the consequences of coming down a little more would be very serious.

Seeing Lin Yue's gesture, the old man's eyes lit up obviously, and he looked Lin Yue up and down with a little interest, especially observing the tiger's mouth of Lin Yue's right hand, but when he found that Lin Yue's hand was white and abnormal, not at all like the carver's hand, his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of disappointment. Regarding Lin Yue's apology, the old man just nodded, and didn't say anything, he is an old man, and he is not a person who relies on the old and sells the old, so he still cares about what he does.

The old man suddenly got angry in his heart and wanted to take the school to test the strength of the young relatives in front of him, if he didn't work, even if he called the other party's master an apprentice, the current young relatives were too impetuous, and they couldn't succeed if they didn't fight.

"What do you think of the carvings in my shop?"

Although this sentence is very abrupt, it is very natural for the old man to say it.

How could Lin Yue not understand that the other party was testing his carving level, as a carver not only to be able to carve, but also to be able to carve, from the carving can be seen the strength of a carver.

"All of them are masterpieces, and I think the predecessors have put a lot of effort into carving these works. ”

Lin Yue said vaguely that his words seemed to be words on the scene on the surface, but in fact he had begun to fight back. If the other party is dissatisfied, it means that the other party is the kind of person who is rigorous in his studies and has strict requirements for the younger generation, and if he shows disdain, it means that the other party is the kind of person who thinks very highly of himself and has no one in his eyes. And if you are very happy, then such a person will not know respect, people who like to listen to good words will not achieve much higher, becoming a master of carving is already the limit, as for becoming a master of carving, that is something that you can't even think about.

Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly, "oh", and asked, "Tell me what's good?"

Seeing this, Lin Yue immediately knew that the old man in front of him was the kind of person who was rigorous in his studies, he was very concerned about the younger generations in the carving world, and he had high requirements for them, which was the same temper as his master Chang Tai. So he stopped talking about those scenes, and immediately said: "Calligraphy has a pen edge, and wood carving has a blade." The skill is not high, the carver's knife work is not fine, and the carved work is very rough, so it is polished with the help of abrasive cloth, although the work becomes smooth and delicate, it looks good-looking but the charm is completely absent, and the blade is gone. A true master of wood carving has delicate knife work, never using an abrasive cloth to polish the carved work, and the carved work is not only delicate and moving, but also the blade of the knife is also flashing. Each of your carvings has traces of blades, and there is no trace of polishing, which looks very natural and full of charm......"

Listening to Lin Yue's narration, the old man's brows couldn't help but not loosen, but wrinkled even more, and said, "If you are memorizing textbooks, so be it." As he spoke, he reached out and took a small wood carving, handed it to Lin Yue and said, "You refer to this work, tell me how many carving methods I have used on it, and at what time of day, how to hold me, and the angle.......

The old man put forward more than a dozen requirements in a row, and the back was basically all things that could only be seen by reaching the realm of master carvers, and the task he prepared for Lin Yue was not light!

If you want to say that Lin Yue is not afraid, because his feeling is relatively strong, but if he still has the strength of the knife technique, it will really stump him, because he has not learned these things at all, he has learned ancient carving, even if he wants to learn his master, he will not teach him, these things are only learned in the back when he has no chance with ancient carving, but now that he has started ancient carving, those things are basically not related to him.

He was able to tell the force and angle of the carving of the wood carving using the ancient carving technique. But if he can say it, it doesn't necessarily mean that the old man in front of him can understand it, if he can understand it, it's okay, if he doesn't understand, he will probably think of him as the kind of person who pretends to be mysterious and doesn't learn anything, and then it will be difficult to eliminate the preconceived impression. He didn't want to make a bad impression.

In desperation, Lin Yue could only bite the bullet and say: "Please forgive me, the juniors are only shallow and can't see so many things." “

Although the old man was very dissatisfied with Lin Yue's strength, he was still very satisfied with Lin Yue's honest attitude, but he did not show a satisfied look, but asked sternly and angrily: "You can't see these things, then I need to doubt your identity, who is your master, and where did you learn the gesture just now?"

Nowadays, young people can't be strict enough, they don't have any self-motivation at all, and when they wait for forty or fifty, they are self-motivated, but it's too late!

Seeing this, Lin Yue was also surprised by the old man's sudden outburst, and hurriedly explained: "My family teacher is Changtai in Kunming, Yunnan, and I have only been apprenticed for a year, so I haven't learned much. ”

He didn't know what things he could see were master-level people, he thought that anyone who was a beginner could see it, Lin Yue lacked too much in carving knowledge, or it was okay to use too much advance, after all, he practiced ancient carving.

"A year?"

Hearing this, the old man's face suddenly eased, but the next moment, when he thought that Lin Yue's tiger mouth did not have a little callus, his face showed hard work, and he was even more angry than just now, he should practice hard in the first year of apprenticeship, his hands were already covered with calluses, and he would never want to be so white and pure, which shows how lazy the young man in front of him is.

Just as he was about to question Lin Yue, he suddenly arrived first, so he hurriedly asked, "Who do you say your master is?"

"The family teacher is Changtai, Kunming, Yunnan. ”

Lin Yue replied truthfully.

Chang Tai?!

The old man's whole body shook slightly when he heard this, and he stared at the young man in front of him.

If the other party's master is Chang Tai, then the young man in front of him is......

Lin Yue!!

The old man has not forgotten the news that shook the upper echelons of the carving world a few months ago, a young man with outstanding talent has completely mastered spiritual carving, and within four days, except for the four dragons, each dragon is all vivid, majestic, and domineering!

He didn't believe it when he first heard the news, but after a lot of questioning with his old friends, he was sure that the news was true, which made him even more shocked.

Spiritual carving!

Four dragons in four days!

It would have been impossible for anyone else to do it, but it all happened to a young man in one day.

Originally, he wanted to go to Yuelong Villa to see the four dragons in person and feel the real feeling of the works carved by the spiritual carving, but because he still had the carvings that others urgently needed, he didn't make the trip.
