Back at his residence, Qin Huai spent an hour adjusting his mind. Then it took two hours to clean up the study.

This is a preliminary preparation for carving.

The mess in the room is psychologically speaking, which affects the mood somewhat.

And if the room is clean and odorless, it can make Qin Huai pleasing to the eye, and at the same time add points to creation.

In order to increase the effect, many artists will place flower arrangements, ink paintings, and then burn a pillar of sandalwood in the studio to find a cool body and mind.

There is a cloud in Zen saying: the mind is quiet and then peaceful, safe and can be fixed, fixed and can be wise, wisdom and can be realized, and realized and can be obtained.

It is still necessary to do these preliminary work.

Qin Huai didn't want his state to be affected by irrelevant factors in the details.

Therefore, even the almost negligible details were eliminated by Qin Huai's nitpicking.

……

……

Early the next morning.

After Qin Huai finished washing, he had a little breakfast, and immediately went into the study.

It's time to create.

After nearly four months and hardships, Qin Huai is looking forward to it like never before.

There are two pieces of jade on the desk, one is a white jade with ice and jade, and the other is a black black jade like pure lacquer.

These two pieces of jade are also the last two pieces of jade left by Qin Huai.

Qin Huai's expression was serious, and he fractalized the two pieces of jade.

A black yin fish, a white yang fish, and finally a cylinder of moderate diameter is cut off at the eyes of both fish.

The first step of Taiji Tu jade carving, completed!

Qin Huai refined and polished the rough embryo, and then the black yin fish and the white yang fish were together.

The black S-shape and the white inverted S-shape complement each other perfectly, without any extra gaps, which can be said to be very rigorous and delicate, meticulous.

"The color of the black and white jade is just right, and it looks simple and comfortable. ”

Qin Huai looked at it with great interest for a while, this work only has a few lines, and the lines are all semi-circular arcs, the combination is either rigorous, or graceful, or simple, each curve, exudes a strong geometric aesthetics.

It was pleasing to the eye when Qin Huai looked at it, and the corners of his mouth rose.

Just this step is a bit artistic.

Of course, this is the artistic sense of the Taiji diagram itself, not the artistic sense of jade carving.

What Qin Huai wants to do is to add artistic elements on this basis.

"Here we go. ”

Qin Huai's eyes were calm, and his heart was like water. The next carving was a challenge, but Qin Huai was not afraid at all.

Forty days of immersion in searching, the epiphany of watching the rain on Xuanwu Lake, and seeking the way of the old-timers on the Purple Mountain all made Qin Huai full confidence in this carving.

There are hills and valleys in the heart, and there are things under the knife.

Qin Huai has already sought what he should seek, he has already had an epiphany, and he has already sought the experience of teaching.

It can be said that Qin Huai is confident.

Therefore, Qin Huai picked up the cuttlefish, carefully put it into the stage, and then recorded all the microscopic details on the surface of the cuttlefish in his mind through a microscope, without letting go of any small flaws.

After memorizing all the microscopic pictures, Qin Huai quickly mobilized his imagination.

The next moment, this cuttlefish came alive in Qin Huai's mind.

It became a dark spring, shimmering in the night, the sun could not shine on it, it went through spring, summer, autumn and winter alone, and slowly withered in the years.

Although there is no life, it grows as if it were life.

As time passed, the scene in Qin Huai's mind changed faster and faster, and even some pictures that were completely out of step with the cuttlefish appeared.

But Qin Huai didn't stop thinking, but let his imagination spread like a storm.

The needle drop in the study room could be heard, and there was no sound, only Qin Huai's deep and shallow breathing.

Although Qin Huai was calm on the surface.

But in fact, these imaginations formed a turbulent tsunami in his mind, and with the tsunami came an overwhelming, overwhelming inspiration and excitement.

It's getting into the groove......

Qin Huai, who was so excited that he got carried away, stretched out his terrifyingly steady hand and picked up the 'carving knife'.

At this moment, the carving knife is not a knife, but turns into a drop of water, a drop of water that falls from the sky and pierces through the stone.

The drop of water struck the black jade lightly, immediately forming a pora, but this pores were no longer isolated, and it rippled in circles......

Qin Huai's wrist was raised lightly and moved gently.

Falling again, another blore was born, which also generated a circle of ripples.

The two pores are distributed on the surface of the jade material, and they seem to be unrelated, but when you look at it, you will find that they look forward to each other and break the thread.

It's like raindrops falling on both ends of Xuanwu Lake, but it builds a messy harmony through ripples.

That's how it feels!

Qin Huai's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the table lamp lit up the outline of his facial features, dyeing his serious demeanor into golden and solemn looks.

Shang Ya quietly propped up the camera.

However, Qin Huai didn't notice it.

Instead, the wrist was flipped, the hand was up and down, and the tip of the knife slammed into the jade like rain into a peaceful lake......

The whole piece of jade material became the Xuanwu Lake in the jade, and a circle of ripples was born, and then quickly subsided, as if there was no seamless, creating a seemingly unconnected, but closely connected pores.

Gradually, Qin Huai discovered that the jade under the knife actually began to rhythm with his breathing.

Breathe, it's breathing!

Qin Huai did it!

At this moment, Qin Huai smiled dumbly, and his state was raised to another level, his wrist was flipped, and the knife rose and fell, all of which were based on qi and god as handsome, and the rhythm of life gushed out from under the knife.

The cuttlefish is partially carved!

Qin Huai was still in a state of excitement, and immediately changed to white jade.

This time, he didn't need a microscope anymore.

Just follow the feeling!

This is not nonsense, but Qin Huai grasped the feeling.

Like a violin artist, will he always stare at the fingers at the recital?

No.

Top violinists can close their eyes and pull the strings because top violinists have figured out the musicality.

Once you have a sense of music, closing your eyes is actually more conducive to playing.

And Qin Huai also grasped the 'musicality' of carving, so he chose to give up the assistance of the microscope and rely on intuition.

In this way, Qin Huai felt better, there was nothing else in his heart except carving, Qin Huai even forgot where he was, at a certain moment, Qin Huai felt that he had become jade material, carved by a knife.

Before you know it, the work is quietly completed.

Qin Huai put down the 'carving knife', woke up from his daze, and let out a long breath.

Although the work should be excited when it is completed, Qin Huai has a puzzle -

Just now, what kind of strange state was it?

In the past, when Qin Huai carved, he used his skills perfectly, and his elegance was peerless.

In the carving just now, Qin Huai actually forgot the basic techniques of carving, as long as the carving method can show emotions, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will not refuse.

In the past, when Qin Huai carved, it was the bell of love and the place of the knife.

In the carving just now, the carving knife has not yet arrived, but there is emotion in the middle......

It is a unique experience that is completely different from the carving of the past!

Qin Huai was very confused, sat on the recliner, closed his eyes, and carefully reviewed the strange state just now in the sound of a crazy heartbeat.

Shang Ya watched at the door for a few minutes before walking in front of Qin Huai.

She didn't understand why Qin Huai's little brother was depressed, could it be that the carving failed?

Thinking of this, Shang Ya's eyes fell on the desk, but when her eyes touched the work, her heart skipped a beat.
