"Cause and effect?"

The simple two words made the expression on Ye Tiannan's face change, he thought it was just an ordinary fight, but he didn't expect Sun Xiaobao to say the word cause and effect, which was the most taboo existence for cultivators.

Cause and effect are divided into two kinds, good causes and evil causes, and what Sun Xiaobao is talking about now is by no means as simple as good causes.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Tiannan said, "Brother Sun, don't worry, I will definitely restrain my disciples." Speaking of this, he glanced at Ye Liangchen indifferently, just a look, Ye Liangchen felt almost suffocated, he knew that he would definitely be severely punished by the family law after he went back.

"Brother Sun, there are a lot of people here, why don't we talk in another place?" As soon as the words changed, Ye Tiannan looked at Sun Xiaobao with a smile.

"It's okay!" Sun Xiaobao nodded, and then said a word to Qi Zhenzhen, and finally followed Ye Tiannan, grandson, and Kong Sheng to the private room downstairs.

"How many days is Brother Sun going to stay in the provincial capital this time?" Ye Tiannan asked with a smile.

Sun Xiaobao: "I don't know, I should stay for a while." ”

Ye Tiannan hesitated and said, "What, there will be a party held in March Red in three days, I wonder if Brother Zhao will have time to come and participate?"

"What kind of party?" Sun Xiaobao couldn't help but ask.

Ye Tiannan: "The gathering between cultivators, this gathering not only has people from the six major families, but also some casual cultivators, of course, there is also the auction link, if Brother Sun has time to come and take a look, maybe there will be treasures you can use." ”

"Okay!" If it was an ordinary gathering, Sun Xiaobao would definitely not be interested, but he was still very interested in the gathering between cultivators, especially the exchange between cultivators, this kind of activity was very popular even in the cultivation world. After all, there are things you may not need, but others can use them.

After Sun Xiaobao and Qi Zhenzhen left Emgrand KTV, he wanted to pretend to be Qi Zhenzhen's boyfriend, but no one knew that it would cause so many follow-up things.

After returning to Qi's house, it was already half past ten in the evening, and after taking a bath, Sun Xiaobao returned to his guest room, although he had drunk a lot of wine before, but he was not drunk at all, and sat cross-legged and began to use a large amount of the jade, he planned to take advantage of the past few days to transfer this piece of jade out of the provincial capital.

The large cut surface of the grinding disc looks very flat, and there are several different colors inside, in addition to the cracks. In Hetian jade, the most important thing that affects the quality is the crack, and the amount of the crack will directly affect the price. However, most of the Hetian jade has some cracks on it to a greater or lesser extent, which is also one of the characteristics of Hetian jade, as long as it is not too obvious, it will generally not affect anything.

But there are too many cracks on the jade in front of Sun Xiaobao, unless those parts that are not cracked are cut off to make pendants and rings, if the whole is sold, it is not worth much at all, and carving is definitely the best choice.

"What are you carving?"

Sun Xiaobao quietly looked at this piece of jade, in fact, he planned to carve a Eight Immortals across the sea, but in the end he gave up this idea. After all, he planned to give the carved things to Wang Su's father, even if he carved the Eight Immortals across the sea, the other party might not like it.

In fact, the color of this piece of jade has limited his imagination, which is like painting on a blank piece of paper, which can be used as he pleases. But if you put some stains and restrictions on the white paper, it will not be so simple, and you must also incorporate the stains on the paper, which will greatly increase the difficulty of creation.

This is true for ordinary creations, let alone carving.

In his previous life, Sun Xiaobao liked carving very much, because it not only improved his spiritual power, but also a process of turning decay into magic, especially when he created good works, he had an inexplicable sense of achievement.

"Do you want to carve the picture of the eight horses?" Sun Xiaobao's eyes lit up.

Eight horses is the work of Xu Beihong, a famous painter of modern calligraphy and painting, this painting takes the eight horses of King Mu of Zhou as the theme, in the painting, the eight horses are different in shape, elegant and smart, vivid and vivid, it is a rare treasure.

"This theme is good, Wang Su's father should like it. ”

Horses have a very high status in the culture of the Chinese nation and have a series of symbols and meanings. It is synonymous with robustness, brightness, warmth, exaltation, ascension, fullness, prosperity, and development.

Ordinary people still like horses, not to mention that Wang Su's father is still working in the government, and it must be very appropriate to give him a picture of eight horses.

After thinking about the theme, Sun Xiaobao began to carve.

Jade carving is divided into four steps, first, the jade, to put it bluntly, is based on the observation of the appearance of the jade shape, color, jade quality and cracks, etc., and then according to the size, color, texture and texture of the jade to conceive and design.

Now that Sun Xiaobao has an idea, the next step is the second step, called modeling, to put it bluntly, it is to use the pen to depict the image of the person or animal on the jade in detail, which is an important process from virtual to real, and it is also the key to the creation of jade carving.

Horses may be strange to ordinary people, but they are not strange in Sun Xiaobao's heart, because there are too many species in the cultivation realm that are not on the earth, even if he has fed dragons and horses, so he has long kept in mind the form and appearance of horses. It might take a long time for others to set up, but it took him less than an hour to design the form of eight horses, each of which looked majestic.

Yes, Sun Xiaobao did not copy the original version of Xu Beihong's Eight Horses, he felt that it was too untechnical. It's not that he feels that Xu Beihong's works are bad, but that in his opinion, his works can be better.

The third step is to shape the shape, and from this step onwards, the jade will be carved. To put it bluntly, it is rough carving, that is, through the technical means of guillotine, chisel, mark, buckle, scratch, punching, rolling, drilling and other technical means to make the jade gradually become a three-dimensional carving. However, this is only a semi-finished product, and it still needs to be processed in the next step, which is the fourth step of expressiveness.

To put it simply, it is to carry out fine decoration to make the jade carving works more colorful and expressive. Specifically, it is a realistic portrayal of the most detailed parts of jade, such as the facial expressions, eyes, and clothing patterns of the characters, the eyes, hair, claw tips, beaks and beaks of beasts and birds, and the stems and leaves of flowers and plants.

Conveyance is like the finishing touch, no matter how clever and realistic your design is, if you don't have enough skills, then it's a waste. The reason why many people don't carve good works is because something goes wrong here, so that months of hard work have come to naught.

Yes, for ordinary people, a jade carving is broken in three or five months, and it is slow for one or two years, but what is it for Brother Xiaobao?

Three days, three days is enough!
