Iron Whirlwind sat down and agreed: "I understand it quite thoroughly, but I haven't gotten to the point yet. ”

I threw my hand over and continued: "The value of a piece of work depends on its use. Is it for ornamentation, is it functional, or is the gemstone itself priceless? Actually, the master had already reminded me at the beginning. ”

Iron Whirlwind: "Oh? When did I warn you? ”

Me: "There are so many lifelike works, and your grandson's work is indeed flawed, but you have collected it. That's what he did to make the best thing he could, and he didn't have good skills, but he gave emotion and affection. I have carved in stone over and over again, trying to make sure that you are satisfied, but I am decades old in you, and no matter how long I practice, I will not be able to surpass you in terms of technique. As for this theme, it is also very cheesy, although Luan Niao is the national bird of Luan Dynasty, it is too ordinary and uncreative. The master praised Brother Xiao's stone machine and thought that it would be an epoch-making work. However, this is just an assembly of pulleys and thalliums, and the prototype of a pulley waterwheel has long been used in private homes......"

Iron Whirlwind nodded: "The world is so big, creation is nothing more than the combination of inconspicuous things. ”

"I didn't mean to slander Senior Brother Xiao. It's just that everyone's starting point is different, so how can we really judge the value of a work? Therefore, ingenuity is nothing more than believing in oneself, sticking to the motivation of the original creation, constantly polishing, and then making this thing the most perfect. Take the original intention as the starting point and the end point, and keep circulating the carving ......" I sighed, shook my head and said, "The technique is difficult to learn, the ingenuity is not easy, I can do my best." ”

"It's chalcedony, ice permeable! I specially found you to make the jade seal of the country, where can I carve this little doll casually?! Iron Whirlwind held Meiyu in his arms, "You are not allowed to touch it." ”

"The jade seal of the country?" It dawned on me.

No wonder this piece of jade is square and round, and it turns out that the rest of the material has been removed.

It seems that Iron Whirlwind didn't intend for me to carve this piece of jade from the beginning. I've been thinking about it for so long, and I've just wasted some ordinary stone and a few thallium tools.

"Isn't the master afraid that I won't listen to you and carve casually?"

Iron Whirlwind glared at me: "I don't respect the carving, I don't care about the treasures when I think I have the country, so why should I give the edict?" In that case, you really don't give it! ”

Me: "If I don't say this and carve it directly, won't I give it too?" ”

Iron Whirlwind held Meiyu in his arms, as if he was holding his child: "Yes, I won't give it!" I think I'm a little clever, so I spoil the baby. ”

I laughed and said helplessly, "Does the master still need me to carve?" ”

Iron Whirlwind commented viciously: "The point is comprehension. What do I want you to do with this broken stone carving? It's ugly and useless. ”

“……”

I felt like I was hit.

Iron Whirlwind didn't write me a note like Li Tianjing, but only asked, "Have you memorized the thousand-character text?" ”

I nodded: "Memorized." ”

Iron Whirlwind: "There is a sentence in it that cures the root cause of the farmer, you should go to the farmer." ”

Me: "Also around Yanju City?" ”

"Find the kind where three generations of ancestors have farmed here, otherwise the edict will not be passed down." Iron Whirlwind put the beautiful jade back on the desk, looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said in a serious tone, "This piece of jade is easy to carve, and it can be completed in a month." But if the edict is revealed, and they find out about me, it will be a rebellion. All the craftsmen around Yanju City will be killed. When do you decide to go back to the palace? ”

"The next time you worship the heavens."
