Iron Whirlwind takes out a piece of jade from a treasure chest.

I was born in the palace since I was a child, and I don't like extravagance, but I have seen countless gems and jade. Under the green light of fluorite, the beautiful jade glows pale fluorescent in his hand, without the slightest cracks and impurities. The jade is translucent and moist, as if there is really water flowing under the stone.

With such good jade quality, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless.

"This ingredient is too valuable, isn't it?" I was terrified, "What if I carved it?" ”

"Then you won't get the edict."

Iron Whirlwind's tone was light, but he seemed to be dissatisfied with my discouraged appearance without trying: "Little princess, you don't think that as long as you come to me, you will definitely get the edict, do you?" This piece of jade is so expensive that even people like me, who are used to seeing jade, regard it as a treasure. But the edict requires you to carve the jade and let me be satisfied to get it, otherwise I will not be willing to take it out and try it on the little girl who has never touched the thallium. If you're scared, take some stones and practice until you're satisfied. ”

I continued to ask, "But, Master Iron, what kind of work will satisfy you?" ”

Iron Whirlwind pulled a ring from his coat pocket and said, "This is what my little grandson brought me when he came to visit me a few months ago. He was beaming and said it was his first work. There are flaws everywhere, even the lines are crooked, and they are barely formed. But if you put this kind of thing in the Treasure Cabinet, no one will buy it. ”

The ring is made of stone, light and delicate, with lifelike reliefs forming the pattern of birds and animals. The details seem to me to be quite fine.

It seems that the requirements of the Iron Whirlwind are really high......

Me: "I've never touched carving, and you've been honing it for decades. How long will it take me to carve something that satisfies you and meets your standards? ”

Iron Whirlwind: "I don't know. If you have a good understanding, you only need a few months, and if you have a poor understanding, you may have to stay here with my bad old man for ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime. ”

I tried to beg him to lower his standards: "Master, I can't practice carving in the mountains for a long time, otherwise the world will be ruined......"

Iron Whirlwind interrupted me and said paranoidly, "What does that have to do with me? I eat and drink well here, and I can't finish the jade carvings every day. No matter which emperor is changed, these little soldiers will not dare to drive me out after hearing my reputation. I just make a jade carving for them, and they can sell it for a thousand gold. You little princess, if you really can't do it, don't take any edicts, go out and learn a trade casually, and spend the rest of your life. ”

“……”

It's so angry!

How can it be?!

If Li Tianjing wants to say that Li Tianjing has tested me on the issue of the Divine Religion and the foolish people, I can still understand this. But why do you have to learn carving when you are an emperor!

Qi is angry, since completing the jade carving work is the only way to get the edict. I'm going to give it a try anyway. A paranoid person must have other weaknesses, maybe he will be able to loosen his mouth if he keeps getting closer?

If you want to start doing it, you have to learn it first. There are masters around me to ask for advice, and of course I don't want to let it go.

I immediately changed my attitude and said respectfully, "But I don't know anything about carving, so I wonder if the master can teach me?" ”

"Of course you can, who is born to carve? Didn't you practice it with a pen? But we'll have to change places, and we don't have all the tools here. ”

Return the way you came, leave the underground and head to another mine. After passing through the cave, you will come to a mountain area with a wide view, and you will see a house at a glance.
