Chapter 315: The pinnacle work
"Five hundred and twenty dollars!"
"Five hundred and forty pieces!"
"Five hundred and eighty dollars!"
In the shocked eyes of everyone in the lobby, the price of the jade carving of the King of Jizo Zazen exceeded 600 yuan.
Six hundred medium-grade spirit stones are equivalent to all the reserves of a small cultivation sect, equivalent to a magic weapon of the lower grade of the god refining level, and equivalent to a martial arts cheat book of the local grade medium grade.
And now, someone actually exchanged six hundred medium-grade spirit stones for a jade carving.
When everyone was shocked, the bidding price soared to 800 yuan!
Ye Changsheng, who was sitting at the back, was also surprised, now it is mainly the Buddhist sect that is shouting, as well as the agents of the Demon Sect, it seems that the two sides are pinched, and no one will stop.
The twelve jade carvings in the auction have been carefully seen before Changsheng, although he can't see through the one in front of him, but it's not so expensive, right?
Curious, Changsheng looked intently at the jade carving.
With his current eyesight, there is naturally no obstacle to looking at a jade carving, and it is actually no different from placing it in front of him.
And because he had checked it before the auction, he couldn't be more familiar with the charm and texture of the jade carving.
After looking at it carefully for a moment, Changsheng found nothing.
Suddenly, his heart moved, and he flipped his wrist and took out a black carving knife and white jade.
These jade carvings, he has not copied before, if according to the ideas of the predecessors of the ancient tomb, re-carve, will he have some understanding?
With Changsheng's current carving skills, copying is naturally very simple, but when it was time to go under the knife, he was stumped.
He suddenly realized that he hadn't found the location where the first knife fell.
Ye Changsheng was shocked and ashamed, he hadn't noticed such a big mistake before.
The first knife of jade carving is very important, it represents the overall design idea of jade carving, and it is consistent.
The first knife goes down, and the coherent thinking can contain the coherent charm in the knife technique and create a sense of unity.
Even the fine-tuning after the engraving is based on this charm.
If the first knife is not at a point, it can only mean that Ye Changsheng has not touched the doorway of this jade carving at all.
Changsheng is not discouraged, it is not a bad thing to be able to discover his shortcomings, but his interest is greater.
The overall outline of the statue of King Jizo, projected in his mind, is presented in a three-dimensional form.
Ye Changsheng turned over and over, looking for the location of the first knife from every line and every point.
In the rapid deduction, countless plans were overturned, and more than a dozen forced rehearsals also ended in failure.
Just when Ye Changsheng had nothing to do, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and almost at the same time, his clear eyes looked at the display table in front of him.
Under the ninth pillar of light, the jade carving sat quietly, and the immortal gaze wandered for a moment, locking on the left hand of the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
In general, the image of the main stem is determined first, and then the details to be shown in the branches are paid attention to.
Before Changsheng, he also fell into such a trap, ignoring the existence of those two mudras.
Could it be that this first knife started with a mudra?
At this thought, the handprint of the jade carving was quickly enlarged, and every texture was revealed.
From between the second bone joint of the slightly upturned little finger of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, Changsheng really found a subtle texture.
This texture is the first knife!
From this texture extending outward, the image of the little thumb, the left hand, the entire arm, the entire half-body, and the entire Jizo King is completely deduced.
And the last knife fell between the handprints of the right hand, between the joints of the thumb!
Changsheng's eyes shone like morning stars, his heart was incomparably calm, and his hand holding the knife had been pulled by a mysterious aura, ready to move.
The next moment, he picked up the palm-sized white jade, looked left and right for a moment, and projected the overall image of the jade carving.
The rotating hand stopped, Ye Changsheng picked up the black carving knife, and almost without hesitation, dropped the first knife.
Stab!
A trace remained on the jade, and the jade powder staggered down.
The first knife is like opening the floodgates of inspiration, and it is out of control.
Under the traction of the qi machine, Ye Changsheng carried the knife like flying, and the continuous shadow of the knife turned into a black light, wrapping the flawless white jade.
The handprints are carved, the palms are carved, the arms are carved, and the entire body of the Jizo King is also carved.
Ye Changsheng was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself, but he didn't notice that the people in the audience were looking at him with wide eyes at this moment.
At the moment when he carved his handprint, the magnates in the audience were already aware of it.
At that moment, they suddenly had the illusion that the entire venue was being cocked by an invisible lever.
It was as if at the back of the venue, a boulder of 10,000 pounds pressed down and lifted up the seat they were in.
When they turned their heads, they saw Ye Changsheng immersed in carving.
And Ye Changsheng in their eyes seemed to be the boulder, as if he was the other end of the lever!
This wonderful illusion shocked the participants, but the dignitaries in the box were full of solemn faces.
It seemed that he had thought of something, Master Yuan Ke of the Huixin Sect, his white eyebrows were upturned, his eyes looked at Ye Changsheng motionlessly, and Gu Jing Bubo's face also revealed a faint look of excitement.
As Ye Changsheng carved out the entire body of King Jizo, the illusion of being cocked up by a lever slowly disappeared.
The whole world has returned to normal, and Ye Changsheng doesn't look so "heavy" anymore.
However, when Ye Changsheng began to carve the handprint of King Jizo's right hand, the illusion appeared again!
Ye Changsheng was obviously sitting there, obviously carving something with his heart, but the illusion was that he was not there at all.
Ye Changsheng's body seemed to have disappeared, and the person he was carving was just a projection of him, full of illusion.
Some cultivators were even shocked to find that Ye Changsheng's aura had also disappeared!
Ye Changsheng was still unconscious, and the last knife fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
His knife-wielding hand trembled violently, his face was as pale as paper, and the blood spots in his eyes exploded, and his eye sockets were instantly covered with bloodshots.
The price of doing it in one go was that Ye Changsheng was seriously overdrawn, even exceeding his usual limit.
Fortunately, he persevered to the end, completed this jade carving, and completed his true pinnacle work so far.
I don't know when, Master Yuan Ke and the distinguished guests in the box have already walked out, and everyone looked at the jade carving in Ye Changsheng's hand with a look of amazement.
Master Yuan Ke stepped forward, put his hands together and said: "Patience is as immobile as the earth, meditation is as deep as a secret treasure, and it is indeed the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth!"
