Chapter 1119: I'm from a mysterious place
Judging from the pattern painted by Chen Yi, it is completely imitating the outline wall of the Han Dynasty, which is exactly the same, which is not something that can be drawn by any person, but only people who know the jade wall of the Han Dynasty very well can draw it.
Even Lu Zigang felt that he might not be able to paint as well as Chen Yi, because the jade he carved was all kinds of landscape figures, but as for this antique jade wall, it was rarely carved.
However, the fact that he carved less does not mean that he does not understand the jade wall, and he has studied the jade of various dynasties, which is why he can see at a glance that Chen Yi is imitating the Han Dynasty.
It's just that it is the ability to paint it, whether it can be carved or not, is another matter, from the jade wall painted by Chen Yi, it is more complex than the general plain jade wall, and it is indeed a great test of the level and skill of the carver, especially some of the subtle parts, if you are not careful, the jade will fail.
In addition, there are some fine ornaments, Lu Zigang's heart is full of surprise, Chen Yi actually chose a jade wall of such a level, it is simply very confident, but whether this confidence is arrogant or not, maybe it will be seen soon.
After preparing the tools, Chen Yi first carried out the first stage of rough carving, the outline of the jade wall was cut out first, he carved this one out of the outline wall, below is the round wall, and on the top of the round wall, there is a carved ornament, making the whole jade wall, look more beautiful, and simple.
The moment he saw the topaz, he had an idea in his heart, that is, to carve it into a jade wall, and the yellow color originally had a simple meaning. And the jade wall is even more quaint. So. The combination of these two is perfect.
After the conception, it has gone through the perception of advanced jade carving, which makes this jade wall more and more perfect.
When carving this jade wall, Chen Yi also used advanced jade carving techniques and aura channeling techniques, and with his movements, the aura was fused with the jade little by little.
Under the perception of advanced jade carving, he used this ancient jade tool. Very skilled, as if flowing water.
After the first stage of rough carving, the overall shape of the jade wall has a rough appearance, and the ornamentation of each part is also the shape of the rough carving first, and then the fine carving.
On this seemingly simple jade wall, it can be said that techniques such as round carving, openwork carving, and openwork carving are used. If the jade carving master does not have a comprehensive control, he will not be able to carve it perfectly.
Looking at Chen Yi's skillful use of various jade tools. Lu Zigang's eyes became more and more serious, because he saw that Chen Yi had some different ways of dealing with various carving techniques, and these methods were something he had never seen before.
It's just that just watching Chen Yi carving from the side, and the distance is still a little far, I can't learn it at all, and some of it can't be understood at all.
The appearance of these carving methods made Lu Zigang more and more convinced that Chen Yi was really the carver of the white jade pen holder.
When using these ancient jade tools to carve, Chen Yi's heart is also full of emotion, if modern machinery is used, this jade wall will be more relaxed, and at the same time, the effect of carving will be better.
It's just that in this ancient world, under the eyes of Lu Zigang and the others, he could only use these slightly backward tools to carve.
Rao is Chen Yi used advanced jade carving techniques, and his movements were extremely skilled, but from morning to noon, he only completed part of the rough carving, and not all of them were completed.
This ancient jade wall, there are many places that need to be carved, Chen Yi constructed a jade wall with complex decoration, plus this is an extremely precious topaz, you need to be cautious when starting, which takes a lot of time.
The biggest drawback is that these ancient jade tools are far less fast and convenient than modern ones, if he uses modern jade carving tools, he can complete this jade wall in less than a day.
Even so, at noon, Lu Zigang and Xu Wei were already very surprised by the speed of Chen Yi's carving.
Lu Zigang felt that if he used the Kunwu knife to carve, he would be faster than Chen Yi, and if he was asked to carve with these jade tools, then he would probably not be as good as Chen Yi.
After all, over the years, he has become accustomed to carving with Kunwu knives, and he just studies these jade tools from time to time.
When they arrived at noon, Lu Zigang and Xu Wei estimated the time, then looked at each other, and then, Xu Wei took advantage of Chen Yi's preparation to carve jade on another tool, and said softly: "Chen Xiaoyou, noon has arrived, let's eat first, and then carve later." â
Hearing Xu Wei's words, Chen Yi habitually looked at his left hand, but found that his left hand was empty, and the watch he was wearing in the real world had already been placed in the storage space, so he smiled and put the jade wall in his hand on the table.
For now, the carving of this jade wall is very smooth, and the continuous perception of advanced jade carving techniques has enabled him to avoid many mistakes and carve the jade more exquisitely.
"Old Xu, Master Lu, let's go." Chen Yi nodded lightly and said to the two.
Walking out of the workshop with Lu Zigang, the sun had already reached the center, which looked very dazzling, Chen Yi smiled, when doing something seriously, time flies the fastest.
In Lu Zigang's entire house, except for the three of them, no one has zĂ i, Lu Zigang carves jade all the year round, and once he carves jade, I'm afraid there is no concept of time, and it's really hard to say whether he will cook.
And Xu Wei may be able to do it, but in this house, when Chen Yi made a comprehensive appraisal, he didn't find any kitchen storage at all, except for some tools used to boil water and make tea, there was nothing else, so it was impossible to cook.
So, Chen Yi followed Lu Zigang and the others to a nearby tavern private room, which is commonly known as the box, and after the meal was served, Xu Wei first raised his wine glass and said: "Chen Xiaoyou, today you let us appreciate a piece of extremely exquisite jade, and showed us exquisite jade carving skills, so this glass of wine is to thank you." â
Lu Zigang on the side also raised his wine glass silently, Chen Yi's incomparably skilled jade carving skills had already made him put away the contempt in his heart.
Chen Yi smiled and raised his glass, "It's my honor to be able to meet Elder Xu and Master Lu. "Although it is said that he will carve jade in the afternoon, but the inside of this wine glass is just rice wine, there is no need to worry, even if it is a modern high number of liquor, with his repair technique, it can be turned into nothing in an instant.
Xu Weinai is one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Zigang is a master of jade carving, so it is really a blessing to be able to see these two people in the copy world.
The three of them clinked glasses to each other, then each drank the wine in their glasses and sat down to eat.
"Chen Xiaoyou, although the jade wall has not yet been carved, it is enough to show your superb jade carving skills, are you from a jade carving family?" Xu Wei asked with some curiosity, he entered the jade carving industry, it is definitely impossible to be a prince and noble, then it is very likely to be the jade carving family.
It's just that even if he was born in a jade carving family, it is shocking that Chen Yi has such superb skills at such a young age.
Lu Zigang's eyes are also on Chen Yi's body, he also wants to know, where Chen Yi comes from, although he is now in the capital, but he also has information exchanges with the jade carving industry in Suzhou and other places, he doesn't know that Chen Yi, a jade carving master, appeared before, when he was famous in Suzhou, his level may not be as good as Chen Yi.
"Old Xu, Master Lu, I am not from the Diaoyu family, I can only tell you that I am from a mysterious place, as for where this place is, I can't say more." Chen Yi looked at Xu Wei and the others and said calmly.
Hearing Chen Yi's words, Xu Wei and Lu Zigang showed surprise on their faces, and then nodded slowly, there have been many wars in the past dynasties in China, and many people, many families, have chosen to move to some peaceful places, and many places are very hidden, and others will never be able to find them.
Just like the famous literati Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in Xu Wei's travels over the years, he also wanted to find this paradise, there was no strife, some were just calm, but unfortunately, he traveled to many places and never found it.
Knowing that Chen Yi came from a mysterious place, Lu Zigang's inner surprise calmed down a little, because in ancient times, there were many craftsmen with unique skills, all of whom chose to live in seclusion during the war, if there happened to be such a person in the place where Chen Yi was born, then this can explain why Chen Yi is so young and has such superb jade carving skills, and some skills are still something he has never seen.
Because in such a paradise, these craftsmen will not have reservations, and they will do their best to teach them in order to pass on their skills.
Next, Xu Wei did not continue to ask on this issue, but chatted with Chen Yi about some sparse trivial matters.
"Zigang, I've been with you for more than a month, it's time to go back to my hometown." Then, after Xu Wei drank a glass of wine, he sighed lightly and said to Lu Zigang.
Lu Zigang's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Wen, why are you in a hurry to leave, aren't you staying well with me." â
Xu Wei is one of his few friends, and he has suffered a lot of hardships in the first half of his life, and he really wants to make this friend live better in his old age.
Xu Wei shook his head, "I came to the capital just to visit you, after all, this is not my home, I am already tired and want to go back to my hometown, before leaving, it can be said that it is a blessing to be able to meet a strange person like Chen Xiaoyou." â
Hearing Xu Wei's words, Chen Yi sighed inwardly, according to historical records, Xu Wei died quietly in the twenty-first year of Wanli, and it was only seven or eight years from now, and at the time of his death, there was only one dog by his side. (To be continued......)
