Chapter 122: A Strange Apprenticeship
As for the current Zhu Xiaoli's words, Tong Lao no longer dared to contradict it, because he had already decided in his heart that he would take the talented Zhu Xiaoli as his closed disciple to teach the mantle no matter what. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Qiu Lin was slightly worried in his heart while wishing Xiao Li happiness, and after this worried gaze came into contact with Tong Lao, his heart moved, and he said to Tong Lao: "Tong Lao, is there anything special about this wood carving?" ā
Tong Lao was entangled in his heart, and when he heard Qiu Lin's question, he said a little annoyed: "Nonsense, there is nothing special about my jade carving grandmaster, will he rob his apprentice?" ā
Qiu Lin sighed embarrassedly and then continued to ask: "The juniors and others can't see anything special about this wood carving, Tong Lao, you are a grandmaster-level figure, I guess you won't mind explaining it to us!" ā
Tong Lao was slapped by Qiu Lin's sycophant, and the entanglement in his heart was also thrown aside, and he proudly introduced this wood carving to Qiu Lin: "I know that you don't have any eyesight, what do you see in this wood carving?" ā
Qiu Lin and several people stepped forward and found that the wood carved by Zhu Xiaoli has now become a wood carving of a monkey picking peaches, although I don't know where this wood carving is good, but everyone also knows that the leaves and peaches on this wood carving are carved vividly.
I also found that the small bumps on the wood were all gone, some were cleverly carved into the shape of peaches, and some used the texture to form monkey hair on the monkey's body.
After Qiu Lin saw it, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Xiaoli again, not to mention the carving skills, but such an ingenious idea can be seen to be extraordinary.
After reading it, Qiu Lin said: "Tong Lao, I only saw a lifelike happy scene of monkeys picking peaches on this wood carving, and the only thing I could see was that Xiao Li cleverly carved the original small pimples on the wood into peach and peach langur hair!" ā
Tong Lao snorted in his nose and said, "I know, don't look at your kid who was praised by Old Man Chen for being born with nothing on the ground, but it's still far worse than my apprentice!" ā
Qiu Lin was embarrassed, he had never studied wood carving, how could he see anything!
Tong Lao continued regardless of Qiu Lin's feelings: "To see a carving work, we must look at these aspects, first, how the carving skills of the carved work are, which is the most basic point; The second depends on whether the author can use the materials in his hands to create good ideas, if you don't think about what to make first, then this piece of material will be scrapped, if you think about what to carve but not from the material itself is also a waste of the material, only according to the characteristics of the material itself to conceive a good idea, the shortcomings of the material into the Taoist work can be regarded as a good work. Now I don't know how many people will shout every day that they can't carve good works without good materials, but good materials are around them, but they just can't use them. Thirdly, and most importantly, a good piece of work must reflect the author's own emotions and thoughts. Forget it, you don't understand all that! ā
Qiu Lin smiled, he really didn't understand much, but he knew that what Tong Lao was talking about was about three levels of carving, the first layer was only focusing on carving skills or knife skills; The second layer should be based on the skills, plus the utilization of materials, the difficulty is increased by one level; The third layer is to add the author's own thoughts and feelings on the basis of the first two layers.
It sounds very understandable, but Qiu Lin knows that maybe the first two layers of multiple connections can be achieved, but the third layer may require extremely strong understanding.
Qiu Lin told Tong Lao his thoughts, and Tong Lao immediately looked at Qiu Lin in surprise: "I didn't expect that your kid still has two brushes, and what he said is pretty much the same!" Old man Chen didn't brag either! ā
Qiu Yinyang listened to Tong Lao's words very confused, but Qiu Lin's three-level statement was very clear, and he didn't care so much, so he asked directly: "Then what level is Zhu Xiaoli's work?" ā
Hearing this, Tong Lao frowned and thought for a while: "This is difficult to judge, because this work cannot be divided according to Qiu Xiaozi's three levels. This girl's skills have obviously not been systematically learned, and the knife technique can be said to be disorganized, but it contains some methods that the old man has not thought of in it, so the skills are very unsatisfactory! ā
Zhu Xiaoli was unconvinced when she heard Tong Lao say that her skills were very poor, but she was held down by Xiao Chen before she could speak, and motioned for her to listen to Tong Lao's explanation.
Xiao Chen is also helpless, if these two people are allowed to talk to each other, maybe it will take a long time to bring the topic back.
Tong Lao continued: "But this girl is also talented, and she has done more than I imagined in the last two layers, hahaha, my old man is destined to receive a satisfactory apprentice today!" Tong Lao, who was originally serious, was immediately emotional when he said that he could accept apprentices, his face was flushed, and even his voice was a little trembling and asked Zhu Xiaoli: "Girl, will I be my apprentice?" As long as you are my apprentice, I will definitely hand over all my holdings to you, and some of my property will be yours when I die, how about it? ā
Zhu Xiaoli was not tempted by Tong Lao, because...
Zhu Xiaoli: "Old man Tong, you dare to say that my skills are unsatisfactory, are your skills better than mine?" If you have the ability, you can also make one, let me be convinced, otherwise you should still make your spring and autumn dreams! "I was stopped by Xiao Chen just now and didn't attack Tong Lao in time, and now Tong Lao has sent it to the door, and Zhu Xiaoli, who has been telling Tong Lao that his skills are not good, will immediately attack!
Tong Lao had a bitter face, regretting in his heart, why did he just say it directly, and now this aunt is unhappy, so won't he be embarrassed again. If you don't do this girl, you won't believe in yourself, but what if you make an apprentice who is hard to find it, Tong Lao is in a dilemma for a while.
Zhu Xiaoli saw that Tong Lao didn't speak, and continued: "What, is it that your skills are worse than mine, so you don't dare to make a fool of yourself?" ā
Tong Lao was provoked by Zhu Xiaoli, and the worries in his heart were thrown out of the clouds, and he glared and said, "Wait!" ā
After finishing speaking, I didn't know where to take out a piece of wood similar to Zhu Xiaoli's original, and sat on the edge of the table with a carving knife and started to move.
Qiu Lin said to Zhu Xiaoli: "Xiaoli, although Tong Lao spoke directly, would it be inappropriate for you to do this?" ā
Zhu Xiaoli winked mischievously and said, "This old man Tong has been tossing me for so long, I just want to toss him!" ā
Qiu Lin was speechless, what kind of people are these!
Zhu Xiaoli continued: "Actually, I know that what Old Man Tong said is very right, I haven't learned skills, and I have figured out that little bit of things by myself. I just want to see what the master's technique is like! ā
Xiao Chen put her arm around Zhu Xiaoli's shoulder and patted it gently, only she knew how persistent her usually smug best friend was about what she liked.
Zhu Xiaoli didn't speak again, letting Xiao Chen put his arms around his shoulders, but his eyes were staring at Tong Lao's waving hands.
Two hours later, Tong Lao stopped what he was doing, handed the wood to Zhu Xiaoli, and said, "Girl, take a look!" ā
Zhu Xiaoli was still immersed in the skills of Tong Lao, and subconsciously passed the wood carving before he reacted and hurriedly looked over. Qiu Lin and several others also gathered around to watch.
I saw that what Zhu Xiaoli was holding in his hand was also a pair of monkey peach wood carvings, if it weren't for the fact that this wood carving was more mellow and natural, everyone almost thought that this was the one Zhu Xiaoli was holding in his hand that Zhu Xiaoli carved before.
After reading it, everyone couldn't help but be deeply impressed by Tong Lao's skills, you must know that it took almost a day to Zhu Xiaoli carving, and Tong Lao only took two hours to do it. Even a fool knows that Tong Lao's skills are much higher than Zhu Xiaoli's.
Tong Lao looked at Zhu Xiaoli proudly and said, "Girl, how is it?" Take it! ā
Zhu Xiaoli was actually convinced when he saw Tong Lao's carving, but he didn't say that, and Zhu Xiaoli said: "That's it, well, it's a little taller than mine, what's so proud!" ā
Tong Lao: "Gah! "I shouted in my heart that I had taken out my twelve-point ability in order to conquer this girl, but I didn't expect it to be exchanged for such an evaluation.
The old man wants to cry without tears.
Qiu Lin was also embarrassed by Zhu Xiaoli, and he had to say: "Tong Lao's skills are really at the peak, let me wait for an eye-opener!" Tong Lao just likes to listen to other people's sycophants, and Qiu Lin eats him.
Sure enough, after Qiu Lin finished saying this, Tong Lao forgot how he was hit by Zhu Xiaoli just now, and immediately smiled.
Qiu Lin felt his teeth ache, but continued: "So Tong Lao decided to take Xiao Li as an apprentice? ā
Old man Tong nodded quickly: "As long as this girl is willing, I can be her apprentice!" ā
It's good to ignore Tong Lao's behavior, Qiu Lin said in his heart.
Qiu Lin turned his head to look at Zhu Xiaoli, Zhu Xiaoli knew that it was time for her to make a choice, although she had planned to be this Tong Lao's apprentice a long time ago, but when she was about to die, she was still a little bottomless in her heart, and unconsciously set her eyes on Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen said: "Follow what you think in your heart!" But as a good girlfriend, I still have to remind you that I don't know when this study will be a head, have you really thought about it? ā
Zhu Xiaoli had already thought about this problem before, and he was relaxed before, but now it is difficult to face this problem.
Tong Lao interjected in time: "Your talent is very good, all you need is familiarity with your skills, I am sure that you will be a teacher within three years!" ā
Tong Lao has completely disregarded his identity, in order to receive this good apprentice who can't be found with a lantern, he has already let it go.
No one had ever seen such a strange situation of accepting apprentices.
Zhu Xiaoli gritted his teeth and said, "I promised to be your apprentice!" ā
When Tong Lao heard this, he jumped up happily. It's just that Zhu Xiaoli's next words shocked Tong Lao and the onlookers. (To be continued.) )
