"What, three sides and six arms?"

When Qi Xiang and the wanderer heard this, they suddenly showed a strange look, so coincidental?

"What's wrong?"

Cai Xin also noticed that the expressions of the two were wrong, so he was naturally a little strange: "It's just a statue, and someone often makes it." As for the Buddha statue with three sides and six arms, although there are relatively few, but to say that the shape is special, I have also seen people customize the thousand-armed Guanyin. ”

"That thing is called trouble, and it took more than half a year to make it."

Cai Xin looked unbearable from the past.

"Who made it?"

The wanderer came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Who asked you to make this three-headed and six-armed statue?" ”

"Why are you asking about this?"

Cai Xin sighed, and was even more curious: "Although this matter does not need to be kept secret...... However, people follow the procedure, pay the deposit first and then place the order, and then ask someone to be a lobbyist......"

“…… It's strange, it seems that that person has never shown up. ”

Cai Xin scratched his head and said: "Don't say it, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know, who is the custom-made thing, so mysterious." ”

"Is it okay to customize something anonymously?" Qi Xiang's eyes froze, thoughtful.

"Okay, why not?"

Cai Xin nodded and said, "We are just a root carving, and we are not a dangerous product." As long as the customer gives enough money, we will naturally make the things carefully according to the needs of the guests, and we can also deliver them to the door. ”

"It's just that under normal circumstances, guests will come to personally select the wood, determine the shape, and even in the process of carving, they will come to supervise from time to time, point fingers, and put forward various details requirements. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, let you rectify ......"

Cai Xin pouted: "That's why I said, I hate customized products the most." This time, no one came, which made me worry a lot. ”

"Really......"

The wanderer Yin glanced at Qi Xiang. Bite one's tongue.

Qi Xiang waved his hand slightly, indicating that there was no urgency in this matter, and he would talk about it later.

"How?"

At this moment, Cai Xin smiled and asked, "Ah You, what you said, should you want to ask me to help make things?" ”

Seeing Qi Xiang and the wanderer chanting back and forth, secretly communicating with each other, it is no wonder that he has such suspicions.

"If that's the case, that's all I can say. I'm sorry. ”

Cai Xin said helplessly: "In the past ten days and half a month, I will definitely not be able to take a step out, and I will be busy with other things." Otherwise, how many people can I recommend to you? Although their strength is not as good as mine, their craftsmanship is not bad. ”

"They can also do general large things, and the quality is guaranteed."

Cai Xin smiled and said, "If you don't worry. It's a big deal that when they're done, I'll take the time to check it for you. I won't let you down. ”

"Brother Cai, you misunderstood......"

The wanderer hesitated, and found that it was difficult to speak.

"We're not here to make things, we're here to find people."

Qi Xiang was more calm: "It's just that Brother You recently happened to receive a three-headed and six-armed Buddha statue. We were still watching and tasting before we came. ”

"Now, seeing that you are doing something similar, it is natural to think that it is ...... coincidence"

"Really?"

Cai Xin was really surprised: "That's really a coincidence." ”

"yes, yes."

Youziyin nodded hurriedly: "When I was in the car." We were still discussing the Buddha statue, and when we got out of the car and found you, we must have been shocked to hear that you were doing something like this. ”

"Haha, scary?"

Cai Xin didn't doubt him, and laughed: "Then go to drink tea and suppress the shock." ”

The living room tea room is in a room next to the big tree.

Since it belongs to the work area, the decoration is relatively simple, unpretentious, and practical.

But the tea table should be carefully built, the table top is streamlined, with a certain arc, rounded corners, planed very smooth, and then coated with a layer of light lacquer, a little ivory yellow, very elegant.

"Sit down, feel free, I'll go change my clothes."

Cai Xin said hello and went out into the next room.

"Okay......

Taking this opportunity, You Ziyin fiddled with the tea set and stove on the table, and said in a low voice: "Big brother, look at this......

"Perhaps, it's really just a coincidence, not necessarily related."

Qi Xiang groaned: "However, you also have to test it." You brought the Buddha statue, right? ”

"Brought ......"

The wanderer patted his backpack: "Here...... Got it. ”

His heart moved, and he immediately took out the Buddha statue from his bag and placed it directly on the table.

"Since it's a made-to-order thing, there must be a sample drawing."

You Ziyin chuckled and said, "Let Cai Xin compare it, and you will know if it's the same." ”

As we all know, the shape of the Buddha statue remains unchanged through the ages. Even if there is a prescribed form, there will be a certain difference when it is actually done. It is also a three-sided and six-armed Buddha statue, as long as it is more real, it is somewhat different in details.

For example, there are many theories about the placement of the six arms, the knotted posture of the mudra, the facial features of the head, the lotus base, and the ornamentation on the front and back of the body.

What's more, the so-called Buddha is also a relatively broad term.

Truly subdivided, there are many categories of Buddhas. The more common ones are naturally the Buddha, the Potbelly Buddha, the Amitabha Buddha, etc., but in the eyes of ordinary people, Guanyin Bodhisattva is also a Buddha, and the Venerable Arhat is also a Buddha.

Now, the Buddha statue posed by the wandering son should belong to the category of Venerables, strictly speaking.

Although it is in the form of a Buddha, the facial features have a sense of majesty.

The so-called majesty is actually a modifier of hideousness. Buddha, even though he has the compassionate side of purifying sentient beings, he also has the appearance of wrath and vajra.

It is necessary not only to make people respectful, but also to make people fearful, and only by taking a two-pronged approach can we better preach.

In short, different Buddhas, even if they have the same three heads and six arms, are certainly different in nature. As long as Cai Xin sees this Buddha statue and compares his drawings and drafts, he knows whether there is a relationship between the two.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

At this moment, Cai Xin walked back with an apologetic face. Now he has changed into work clothes. Dressed in casual clothes, it seems that he has washed his face, and the whole person is much more refreshing.

"Ah You, thank you very much."

Seeing the wanderer, he had already boiled water and made tea. Cai Xin smiled and said, "Bring me a cup and see if your skills have improved or regressed." ”

"Please ......"

You Ziyin poured a cup of tea casually and gently pushed it over.

"Huh?"

When Cai Xin picked up the teacup, he also noticed the Buddha statue on the table, and was taken aback and surprised: "This, is the Buddha statue you just said?" ”

"yes, how's that. Not bad, right? ”

The wanderer said with a smile: "Pure copper casting, don't look at the small volume, in fact, the weight is not light." ”

"I'll look at ......"

Cai Xin's eyes revealed a little confusion, and he reached out to pick up the Buddha statue. He held it in his hand and rubbed it slowly for a moment, looking carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he became. The expression on his face couldn't be hidden.

The wanderer Yin glanced at Qi Xiang. Eyes signaled: "There is a strange ......"

Qi Xiang drank tea very calmly and calmly.

"Coincidental, coincidental."

Suddenly, Cai Xin was amazed, a little incredulous: "Ah You, not only were you taken aback just now. I think it's a bit ...... now, too. It's a strange coincidence. ”

"What do you mean?" The wanderer asked knowingly.

Cai Xin put down the Buddha statue, got up and said, "You wait a minute, I'll come back when I go." ”

He walked out quickly, then disappeared again.

"Big brother. It seems that this thing ......"

The wanderer was surprised and delighted: "There is a situation." ”

"Hmm."

Qi Xiang agreed, but also admonished: "However, you can't rush to conclusions, maybe ...... What a coincidence. ”

"Skillful, clever makes people can't believe ......"

Immediately, Cai Xin was in a hurry, rushed back, and directly rolled up a cyclone in the hall.

"Look."

Cai Xin was a little impatient, spread a drawing in his hand on the table, and gestured: "This pattern is exactly the same as this Buddha statue?" ”

Qi Xiang glanced at it, and saw that it was a thick white paper with sixteen pages, and on the drawing, someone used a pencil to carefully depict a three-dimensional figure with three sides and six arms.

In the blank space of the three-dimensional figure, various specifications are also indicated, as well as the text of the annotation.

Whether it is from the specific shape or the details of all aspects, the Buddha statue on this drawing is really no different from the Buddha statue on the table.

"Like, really like."

Cai Xin examined it himself, and he also sighed again and again. Then he groaned and smiled: "However, there is still a little difference. ”

"What's the difference?"

The wanderer hurriedly asked.

"The specs are different."

Qi Xiang also found the difference: "Judging from the specifications on the drawings, if the Buddha statue is really made, it will be at least two meters high, and the volume will definitely be much larger than the bronze Buddha statue." ”

"yes, that's it."

Cai Xin thought so: "What I do is a big thing, not such a small thing...... Ah You, how about borrowing something from me for a few days? Looking at it this way, it's much more intuitive than my study of drawings, and with a specific image, I don't need to make up for it in my brain. ”

No matter how three-dimensional the drawing Buddha statue is, it is still a little bit of substance.

In contrast, carving wood according to the bronze Buddha statue, with imaging, just draw the scoop directly according to the gourd. This is undoubtedly more time-saving for Cai Xin.

"I'm sure I'll be fine with you."

Youziyin's eyes rolled slightly, and he smiled: "But Brother Cai, aren't you curious?" Why, these two things are so similar to ......"

"What's so strange?"

Cai Xin chuckled: "Ah You, although this thing is coincidental, it is definitely not unusual. You're just a little weird, if you've been in Gendiao Alley for a long time, you'll know. ”

"Almost every day, there are people carving the same thing."

Cai Xin sighed: "Some traditional auspicious ruyi patterns are even more important disaster areas. What five blessings are coming, Magu offering birthday and other patterns, some people repeat the carving, insensitive, and want to vomit. ”

"But there's no way, the guest likes it, you don't do it, okay?"

Cai Xin shrugged his shoulders and said: "So, this is the main reason why I hate custom-made products, I think it will kill my creative inspiration and make me a craftsman, not an art master......" (To be continued......
