Chapter 624: Ye Feng broke the news
"Old Sun, in fact, Kexin and I didn't have anything else to do this time, but I wanted to learn carving with you......" Ye Feng took over and replied.
"Carving, why did you kid suddenly remember to learn carving?" When Sun Lao heard Ye Feng's intention, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
At the time of the Pingchuan Gambling Stone Festival, after Ye Feng unraveled the blue-eyed jade of the ten twins, Ye Feng transferred two of them to him as the final finishing touch needed for the sealing of the knife, in order to express his gratitude, he decided to accept Ye Feng as an apprentice, and Ye Feng also agreed at that time.
However, yes, Ye Feng has never asked him to learn the art of carving, and now he suddenly took the initiative to come to the door, which really surprised him.
Sun Lao was very curious, what happened to make Ye Feng so interested in carving, and took the initiative to come to the door and ask to learn the skills of jade carving. The latest chapters are searched on Baidu - "Providence Literature Network".
"It's nothing, I just think it's a good thing to learn jadeite carving, and then be able to carve jadeite through a carving knife and express everything about yourself. Moreover, while learning to carve jadeite, I can also hone my mind, which will also be of great help to my cultivation. Ye Feng said slowly.
The matter of the ancient warrior is not a secret at all to a person like Sun Lao, not to mention that Sun Lao's granddaughter, Qin Shuang, is an ancient martial artist who belongs to Group A of the National Hidden Dragon Special Operations Group.
From the time he began to cultivate from contact with ancient martial artists to the present, in his own cultivation process and when he came into contact with peak masters like Master Mo Lao and Long Lao, Ye Feng gradually understood a truth......
Cultivation way, talent is of course very important, but perseverance is even more important, after all, talent can only determine your starting point and the progress of cultivation, but perseverance can have a crucial impact on your future achievements, the ancient warriors have been passed down to the present, along with the history of Huaxia Kingdom has been inherited for thousands of years, during this period, there are naturally many geniuses, and even some peerless geniuses.
However, most of these geniuses showed amazing talent and progress when they first cultivated, but once they entered the late stage of cultivation, many of them began to decline, but those who were not very talented and diligent, with their diligence and strong perseverance, eventually made a great breakthrough.
All this shows the importance of the mind!
"Yes, I don't know much about your ancient warriors, but it must be the same as carving jadeite, the calmer the heart, the more tenacious the perseverance of the heart, and the higher the final achievement." Sun Lao nodded in response, and was very pleased with Ye Feng's consideration in his heart, after all, no matter what he did, he could devote himself wholeheartedly without distractions, which was a difficult thing to do, and it was more important than the five-star talent.
But when he spoke, in Sun Lao's eyes, the hidden eyes stretched out, but there was a trace of melancholy that was deeply buried.
"Old Sun, in fact, I learned jadeite carving, not only to hone my mood, but now I find that I really like jadeite carving." Ye Feng continued, although the trace of melancholy in Sun Lao's eyes was well concealed, it was still keenly detected by him.
Ye Feng knew what Sun Lao was thinking, and he must have thought that he didn't really like carving when he learned carving, but something to hone his mood, and felt a little dull.
Hearing this, Sun Lao swept the melancholy between his eyebrows in his eyes, and the whole person became interested: "Oh, I like jade carving...... Why do you fall in love with jadeite carving? What appeals to you about jadeite carving? ”
At this moment, such an excited look also proved Ye Feng's guess even more.
"Shen Yun, that special Shen Yun, such as Sun Lao's work of sealing the knife, you can feel a kind of Shen Yun at a glance, that feeling, like a dead thing, there is a feeling of wanting to come back to life." Ye Feng continued.
With the deeper and deeper understanding and contact with jadeite, the kind of charm carried by the fine jadeite carving did have a great touch on him, and Ye Feng also had his own ideas, after learning jadeite carving, he could show what he wanted to express through carving, so that more people could see it.
The most important thing is that you can carve some thoughts through carving, such as using mutton fat white jade to carve the appearance of Kong Xiaoyu...... This was the first thing that Ye Feng thought of when he decided to learn jadeite carving.
Although Zixuan's jade carving knife, under Ye Feng's special perspective ability, can let him see the entire progress process of Cheng Zixuan from learning jadeite carving to the completion of the master-level work, but Ye Feng knows that jadeite carving is a very high industry, and this alone is not enough, if he can integrate Cheng Zixuan's inheritance, and add Sun Lao's guidance, the progress will definitely be faster.
"Yes, the carving technique has reached a certain point, and the carved things will indeed be endowed with a certain charm." Sun Lao nodded, and said with a relieved face, Ye Feng can have such an opinion, which shows that his understanding of jadeite carving has understood the essence of it.
"Xiao Ye, you know the realm of jade carving, right?" Commenting on Ye Feng with straight eyes, Sun Lao continued.
"Know, beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert, master, grandmaster, there are six levels in total." Ye Feng replied, about the six realms of jade carvers, he had learned about them a long time ago.
In fact, not only jadeite carving, but also many industries are also distinguished according to these six levels, such as ancient swordsmiths......
Elder Sun nodded, and continued with a look of relief: "Yes, the jade carvers are indeed divided according to these six levels, from the beginner level to the legendary grandmaster level. ”
"The carved jadeite, if it reaches the expert level, it will be endowed with a certain charm, and the master-level will bring people a stronger visual sense of charm, and the grandmaster level will be even more powerful, just like you said, as if the dead thing has completely come to life, the old man, my work of sealing the knife, is a master-level work." Sun Lao continued.
A jadeite carver can be called an expert level if he can carve an expert-level carving, and a master-level carving can be called a master-level, but it is not an expert-level, or the things carved out by the master level correspond to their own level.
Jadeite carving involves a lot of factors, these expert-level, master-level carving masters, does not mean that they carved out of the jadeite can all reach the corresponding level, generally can reach three percent is considered very good, and can reach fifty percent, it can be called very rare.
"It's a pity that I've played jade carving all my life, but I have never been able to make a grandmaster-level work." Sun Lao continued with emotion.
"Old Sun, grandmaster-level jade carving, where is it so easy, according to what I know, until now, only the legendary Cheng Zixuan has carved a grandmaster-level work Longteng Kyushu." Ye Feng smiled and comforted.
Sun Lao nodded: "Yes, this Cheng Zixuan can be described as a legend in the jade carving circle, but it's a pity that his grandmaster-level work Longteng Kyushu has been a secret to this day, no one knows, and his jade carving knife that has devoted his whole life to it is not known." ”
"Otherwise, if you can find his Grandmaster work of Longteng Kyushu, or find his Zixuan Jade Carving Knife named after himself, maybe you can comprehend something from it and carve a Grandmaster-level work." For everyone who likes jadeite carving, being able to carve a master-level work by hand is definitely the lifelong wish of every jadeite carving master, and Sun Lao is no exception.
But it's a pity that except for the legendary Cheng Zixuan, no one has ever carved a grandmaster-level work again.
In fact, not only jadeite carving, but also swordsmiths and other industries, those who have really devoted their lives to the work of their own grandmasters, are all eager to have a master-level work of their own.
Cheng Zixuan, in the circle of jade carving, is a legendary figure, although there are many legends, but there is little real evidence to prove that this character was once real, real existence, but it does not affect his status in the heart of every jade carver.
"Sun Lao, according to the historical records, the grandmaster-level works, the kind of charm that brings the dead to life completely, is formed by absorbing all the essence and blood of the carver or caster, according to the records, all the recorded grandmaster-level works in history, all the carvers and casters have paid the price of their lives after completing the works." Ye Feng said slowly.
"Xiao Ye, you don't understand this now, but you will understand it when you get in touch with it slowly, take Grandpa Sun as an example, if you can let me carve a grandmaster-level work, even if I lose my life immediately after the work is completed, Grandpa Sun is willing." Sun Lao said earnestly.
Ye Feng didn't speak, he understood what Elder Sun wanted to express.
"It's a pity, only Cheng Zixuan has completed the grandmaster-level work of jade carving, without that Longteng Kyushu, without that Zixuan jade carving knife, it is difficult for future generations to break through again. Legend has it that if you get Zixuan's jade carving knife, you can get Cheng Zixuan's carving inheritance, and I don't know if it's true or not......" Sun Lao sighed, if he can find these two things, maybe he can make a breakthrough in his lifetime and carve a master-level work.
"Old Sun, I don't know where Longteng Kyushu is, but I have ......news about the Zixuan Jade Carving Knife," Ye Feng said slowly.
