"That's what you want."

At this time, Xi Lao happily appreciated: "Whether the work has spirituality or not, it is easy to feel." The essence of jade does not change, but the situation of jade is ever-changing. ”

"Beginners carve according to their own wishes, no matter what kind of jade material they have. The slightly better carvers are based on the material, starting from the material, color, shape, etc., to maximize the use of jade. A more clever person is to turn flaws into yoga, and skillfully use the flaws in jade to make the image of the work vivid and more realistic. ”

Xi Lao talked eloquently: "Of course, the above three, no matter how powerful the technology is, is only a skilled craftsman, not a master. A real master, or a real master's work, that kind of spiritual charm can be appreciated even by ordinary people. ”

"It's like Master, your famous work, openwork longevity lock?"

Lu Chongming complimented: "A large piece of jade is carved into a lock shape, and the rings are connected to form a hanging belt. And in the position of the lock cylinder, it can be opened with a jade key. The interior is decorated with dragon and phoenix patterns, but it is reflected from the inside and outside. However, the surface is clean and smooth, crystal clear, and there are no traces of carving at all. Let people see it, and all of them are admired as a hand-me-down treasure of ingenuity. ”

"Hmm."

Xi Lao was not humble, and there was no need to be humble, so he nodded directly and said: "That was the inspiration I got when I accidentally saw someone making an inner painting pot, and it took me a whole year of hard work for that thing." Needless to say, the loneliness and loneliness during this period almost made me give up in the process of repeated research and verification. Thankfully, I gritted my teeth and persevered, and I was able to take that step. ”

"Do you know why I'm pressuring you and not letting you participate in the national master assessment?"

At the right time, Xi Lao explained: "Not only because of your unstable mind and lack of accumulation, but more importantly, because you have not produced a convincing work. If you go to participate, it must be the result of a failure. Instead of losing face like this, it is better to sharpen it for a few more years, and wait until you have real strength to win the championship in one fell swoop. That's well deserved. ”

"Master, don't worry, I understand the truth of accumulation." Lu Chongming nodded solemnly and said: "As long as I don't carve a work that satisfies you for a day, I won't participate in any assessment competitions." ”

"It's not about satisfying me, it's about making you feel genuinely satisfied."

Xi Lao smiled lightly: "I have already said, the twisted melon is not sweet, everything is up to you." Self-motivated. Then be strict with yourself. I want to get by. I also turned a blind eye and let myself go. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Lu Chongming nodded again and again, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't believe this, one day he was really lazy, the scolding must be light, and it was absolutely unambiguous to smoke bamboo and beat people. Moreover, even if you know that you will be beaten, you can't hide yet, you have to bear it obediently.

Why is it called Master? And not teachers. Different names mean different things.

It is definitely wrong for a teacher to hit a student, because now this teacher-student relationship is no different from the buying and selling of goods. I gave money, you taught me knowledge, very fair and reasonable deals. There's no reason to pay any more.

However, Lu Chongming really kowtowed to his teacher, so it represents a kind of inheritance. Not only will they not charge you money, but they will also provide you with good food and drink, and teach you the ability to earn money.

The so-called teacher is like a father, this is the truth. The master beats someone, which is equivalent to Lao Tzu beating his son. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is not a big deal. On the contrary, if you avoid it, or if you resist, this is the real disobedience, unfilial piety, and being spurned by others.

"It's a good goal."

Meanwhile. After a few lessons, Xi Lao looked at the stone ball on the coffee table seriously, and also saw the dynamic visual effect on the surface of the sphere.

After watching for a moment, Xi Lao approvingly: "It is indeed a very spiritual thing. However, this spirituality is mainly reflected in the material, not in the effect of the craft. So something is an artistic treasure, but it has little to do with the author. ”

"Hmm."

Lu Chongming nodded slightly, although every jade carver hopes to get good materials to carve, but prefers to turn decay into magic in order to highlight his technical craftsmanship.

"Frozen Chang fossils, such high-grade stones, are relatively rare now." Xi Lao touched it slightly, picked up the stone ball, and watched it with interest.

After looking at it for a while, Xi Lao's brows gradually wrinkled slightly, his expression slowly became more focused, his palm rubbed on the surface of the sphere, and even raised the sphere into the air to meet the light.

A move naturally made Yu Feibai and Lu Chongming look at each other, a little inexplicable.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

After a while, he found that Xi Lao was still studying the stone ball repeatedly, and Lu Chongming finally couldn't help but ask cautiously, "What's wrong with something?" ”

Xi Lao didn't answer, but stretched out his hand and said, "Go get a flashlight." ”

"Oh!"

Lu Chongming was stunned, and wanted to get up to look for it. However, at this time, Wang Guan touched his pocket and handed over a small and delicate flashlight. After all, as a professional connoisseur, a flashlight and magnifying glass, coupled with white gloves, are essential supplies, and it is natural to carry them with you.

Xi Lao didn't care who handed over the flashlight, he directly took it and pressed it, and searched it on the stone ball. Despite the small size of the flashlight, the light is very strong, and when it is reflected on the smooth spherical surface, it immediately creates a sense of transparency. The frozen Chang fossil was originally translucent, but now after a strong light, the position of the edge of the sphere seems to have become transparent.

Of course, being transparent is not really transparent.

Xi Lao observed intently for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Go, bring seven or eight more flashlights." ”

"Master, why do you need so many flashlights?" Lu Chongming was stunned, scratched his head and said, "There should be no ...... at home"

"If you don't have one, buy it."

Xi Lao waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, if you want this kind of strong light, buy a dozen and come back." ”

"Okay."

Seeing this, no matter how strange Lu Chongming was, he could only put it aside first, and immediately ran out of the door and drove away.

During this period, seeing Xi Lao's attentive appearance, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai naturally did not dare to disturb. Ten minutes later, Lu Chongming came back and directly carried a box of flashlights in front of Xi Lao.

"Hmmm......"

At this time, Xi Lao nodded, stood up and put the stone ball on a relatively high table next to him, and then removed the bits and pieces on the table, leaving only the stone ball alone in the middle.

"Everybody come here, each with two flashlights. In different directions, irradiate this thing. ”

At the same time, Xi Lao began to arrange his troops. The four of them were in exactly four directions, and the rest of the flashlights were placed around the table, and even one hung above the stone ball.

In a moment, more than a dozen intense beams of light. It's like an intertwined web. Completely surround the stone balls.

By this time, the sun had already set, and the sky was dark. The lights in the room have all been turned off under the signal of Xi Lao, and only the light of the flashlight is intertwined. And the stone ball, surrounded by light, naturally became the focal point. Not to mention, being wrapped in more than a dozen strong lights, the originally lustrous spherical surface suddenly became more and more crystal clear.

"Ahh

That's when it happened. Yu Feibai cried out and said in shock: "The thing is gone." ”

"What's missing?"

Lu Chongming was stunned and said: "It's obviously still ......"

He couldn't go on, because at this moment, the stone ball that was still shining in his eyes was also mysteriously missing in the blink of an eye, completely disappearing in front of his eyes.

"Don't move."

Just when the two of them were terrified. Xi Lao said urgently: "Don't move, keep this position, continue to irradiate, and look at it again." ”

When Yu Feibai and Lu Chongming heard this, their arms, which were originally a little trembling, immediately stabilized, and they somewhat understood. The two of them blinked heavily. Adjust the visual sense, and then see the outline of the stone ball on the table again.

After some inspection, the two understood the reason for the "disappearance" of the stone ball.

It turned out to be in a dimly lit environment, and the pitch-black color on the sphere blended in with the environment. Surrounded by strong light, the white components on the surface of the sphere diffuse infinitely. In an instant, the stone ball became "transparent".

Human vision is often easy to deceive themselves, and seeing this situation, the two naturally thought that the stone ball had disappeared. However, despite understanding the reason, with the limited eyesight of the two of them, they were only able to capture the outline of the stone ball.

"What a weird thing."

In an instant, Lu Chongming couldn't help but exclaim: "No, it's not weird, it should be said to be magical." Master, how did you discover this phenomenon? ”

However, at this time, Xi Lao did not explain, but turned off the flashlight first, with a thoughtful expression: "No, it shouldn't be like this......"

"Elder Xi, what are you saying wrong?" Yu Feibai asked curiously, but received no response.

Seeing this situation, Lu Chongming smiled helplessly and whispered: "He is concentrating on thinking, and he can't care about things outside his body." ”

"Oh."

Yu Feibai nodded in understanding, knowing that when some people were concentrating on thinking about problems, even if someone was beating gongs and drums in his ears, it was estimated that they would not wake up.

"What's wrong?" Xi Lao muttered to himself, lost in deep thought.

At this time, Wang Guan couldn't help but remind: "Maybe it's in the wrong direction." ”

"Yes, it's the direction."

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Xi Lao immediately woke up and immediately stepped forward to adjust the direction of the stone ball. After fiddling for a while, beckon everyone to continue to shine with a bright flashlight.

In an instant, more than a dozen bright lights continued to envelop the surface of the stone ball. After a while, everyone's vision stabilized, but the situation they saw was completely different from what they had just seen.

"How is this possible......"

In an instant, Lu Chongming saw something even more incredible, and he could no longer maintain a calm mood. Shocked, the light of the flashlight in his hand also trembled.

"Don't make a fuss."

Xi Lao's voice revealed a bit of surprise, but he reprimanded in his mouth: "I don't know the principle of astigmatism refraction? ”

"Wang Guan, I suddenly feel that I am really dazzled now." At the same time, Yu Feibai closed his eyes tightly for more than ten seconds before he opened his eyes and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more calm he became, and his voice trembled: "Do you know what I see now?" ”

"What do you see?" (To be continued)
