A small space, with walls on all sides, no windows, and only a small wooden door that is not often opened, this is Xue Yang's small black house.

His working environment is dozens of levels lower than the artistic atmosphere around those who carve everyone, but it is such a simple little black house that can not be simpler, and many heirlooms have been born.

Xue Yang thinks that his most important carving factor is the brain, and there are thousands of years in the brain, where is he afraid that he can't carve good things.

After five hours of hard work, the egg chick carved out of white jade has taken shape, and although this thing is mature in terms of details, it is too far behind in terms of verve.

In that little phoenix, Xue Yang couldn't feel any breath of life, so this work was a complete failure.

It's just that although he failed, Xue Yang was not disappointed.

If the peerless boutique was imitated by himself so easily, it really made Xue Yang feel defeated.

Xue Yang walked to the store, sat casually on the mahogany chair in the corner, poured a cup of tea and fell into deep thought.

When Song Yu saw that his expression was a little displeased, he walked up directly and gently squeezed his shoulder: "What's the matter, my great carver, is there anything else that can make you puzzled now?" ”

For the compliment of the proprietress, Xue Yang also smiled and said: "What you said, as if I am amazing, there are people outside the world, especially in this line of traditional Chinese crafts, I don't know how many respected old-timers, compared with those people, I am just a little offspring." ”

"Hey, I didn't expect our family's genius to be humble, it seems that people are constantly changing."

When he said this, Song Yu deliberately teased him and inadvertently sat on the edge of the mahogany chair.

Her body was so light that even when she sat like this, no one would worry about the mahogany being damaged.

But Xue Yang laughed twice, and wrapped his hand around the soft waist of the proprietress with his hand.

Compared with him, Song Yu didn't have much strength, so she was pulled so lightly, and before she could resist, she directly lay into Xue Yang's arms.

This thick chest made Song Yu feel warm, and it also made her a little distracted, but then Song Yu began to flutter indiscriminately, trying to break free from Xue Yang's arms.

But under her weak beating, Xue Yang hugged his arms tighter.

As if knowing that there was no hope for him to escape, Song Yu gave up the struggle and could only let his body slowly sink down.

Just when Xue Yang wanted to do something bad, an old man suddenly came in outside the door.

It's a good time for this old man to come!

Xue Yang complained there, but he still had to let go of the proprietress because he still had to do his business, and he was a little embarrassed to be hugged by an old man watching the two of them there.

The proprietress who was let go quickly packed up her clothes, and when she walked up to the counter, she didn't forget to look back and glare at Xue Yang.

But Xue Yang continued to smile, as if he had forgotten what he had just done, he continued to pick up a glass of water and slowly savor it.

The old man who walked in didn't say what he wanted to buy under Song Yu's inquiry, and when he looked around at the works displayed on the counter, he just nodded with some satisfaction.

This old man isn't here to pretend to be forced, is he? Xue Yang continued to drink his tea, he seemed to be looking at the scenery outside the glass wall, but the corner of realization was always on the old man.

After walking around the store twice, the old gentleman finally opened his mouth, but he didn't say it to Song Yu, but said it directly to Xue Yang, who was sitting there drinking tea: "The old man's name is Luo Tianqing, and he is also engaged in jade carving. ”

The old man held his head high when he spoke, although this made his voice a little louder, but visiting in this posture always made people feel a little like they had come to kick the restaurant.

"It turned out to be Luo Lao, who has admired the name for a long time, your statement in Donghai City is very big, but I don't know what you are here for today?" Since the other side was coming for him, Xue Yang had to get up to greet him.

After all, he himself just said that in the traditional industry of carving, it can be said that it is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and I don't know when I will meet the great god.

It's just that Xue Yang has really never heard of the name of Luo Lao, maybe he is really lonely.

However, this is also normal for Xue Yang, he has also received invitations to some activities from his peers, inviting him to participate in various competitions or exhibitions, but Xue Yang's own affairs have not been done, where is the time to accompany them to talk nonsense.

At this time, a peer came to the door, and he also gave the other party enough faces.

"Since you already know something about my fame, I just don't know which of my works you appreciate more, although my masterpieces can be said to be countless, and my fame is not only spread in this small Tokai City, but I am still willing to listen to other people's opinions, in case it helps me."

The old man gushed endlessly, as if he was afraid that he had forgotten some details.

Xue Yang smiled awkwardly and said that he was fat, and he really gasped like that.

But since I said that just now, I can only pretend to be a full set now.

Xue Yang's face did not change and his heart did not beat: "The jade Buddha you carved is really unique, and it is much better than those versions outside." ”

As long as it is carved with such a thing as jade, especially like this kind of old rivers and lakes, who has not carved more than ten or twenty jade Buddhas, so it is safer for Xue Yang to say this.

"Hey, you kid really has some vision, I also think that my Jade Buddha carving is particularly standard, and those people outside have to give me the title of Luo Yu Buddha, but I'm not such a pompous person, I didn't accept that title at all."

The old man's eyebrows fluttered, but Xue Yang smiled awkwardly, looking at this, this old man is not playing.

Just when Song Yu walked up to the old man and wanted to ask him the purpose of coming here, the old man talked endlessly.

"Young man, others say that you are a genius in this area, but I just watched the things you showed, at most only one or two strokes are successful, and the rest of the moves are all failures, young man, you are not good." The old man glanced at the jade carvings around him again.

And Song Yu smiled and said: "Old man, you may have misunderstood, all these things are actually not from Xue Yang's hand, and Xue Yang only moved one or two times for each carving, so you didn't figure out the situation." ”

But the old man was completely unwilling to admit his mistake: "Little girl, I understand what you said, in order to ensure the business of your store, don't you have to brag about your guy, if it weren't for the people of the Huang family to blow it, and Bai Yusheng's guy also blew it, how could your little carving guy be blown to this height, your set of rhetoric is to deceive these people outside, but the old man, my eyes are bright, I understand." ”

When he said this, Luo Tianqing also glanced in the direction of Xue Yang, but there was a touch of disdain in this glance.

Xue Yang came directly to his side and said with a smile: "What you said is right, no wonder your discerning eyes can see through the shady scenes in our small shop, if you don't have anything else, please go back." ”

Since you are disrespectful to the old and have no skin and no face to this point, then what else do I care?

It's time to go where to go.

After saying these words, Xue Yang was about to turn around and sit back on his chair to continue drinking tea, but the old man stopped him directly.

"Wait! Are you going to drive away the old man in your next life? The other young men saw that none of the sculptors had bowed their heads and listened to what I had taught them, but you boy had been so disrespectful to me. ”

"It's disrespectful, Luo Lao, that's a word used by the emperor, it's a little inappropriate to use it on you, it's not that I'm disrespectful to you, it's just that our store is really closing." Xue Yang was about to continue, but who knew that the old man actually slapped the glass counter fiercely.

Looking at his strength, I can't wait to smash the glass counter into slag, but it is an old bone, where does the strength come from.

I saw Luo Tianqing start to shout loudly: "Today, the old man is going to kill your sharpness, dare to ask you if you want to come and take a written test with me, the old man asked you to see what is called a real person outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky?" ”

At this time, even Song Yu came to persuade the old gentleman to go back quickly, and Song Yu said this completely in her kind heart.

Because if the things carved by Xue Yang are another witness, then this person must be Song Yu, so Song Yu is also very clear about what level Xue Yang's current strength has reached.

From the living imperial green glass phoenix, to the skull lotus base where good and evil are opposed, to the most inconspicuous white jade rose with fragrance, it has been verified that Xue Yang is a genius who meets once in a hundred years or even a thousand years, even if Song Yu's father is at his peak, he can no longer be compared with the current Xue Yang.

Song Yu believes that there will be someone more powerful than Xue Yang, but it should not be the old man in front of him.

So Song Yu said these words completely for the good of the old man.

But who knew that Luo Lao not only didn't appreciate it, but also regarded Song Yu's concern as contempt for himself: "You two arrogant young people, don't you know that a great man once said that facts speak louder than words?" ”

Xue Yang turned his head and asked a little blankly, "Which great man?" ”

"Which great man, you ask, did what? Is this always necessary? Strength is the most important criterion for a carver, you young man just talk about kung fu, I don't think there is any real kung fu at all, and you don't dare to compare with me at all! Luo Lao was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Xue Yang was speechless.

Song Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

After the two of them were silent for a while, Xue Yang had no choice but to smile and say, "Okay, old man, then I'll listen to you, let's have a simple competition." ”

After Xue Yang whispered, Song Yu directly retrieved two basically identical jade blanks from the backstage.

Xue Yang directly pushed these two pieces of jade of average quality to Luo Lao's side and said, "Luo Lao, you can pick one first, you have your carving knife on your body, right?" ”

Luo Lao said with a proud face: "The real master always looks for inspiration from every bit of life, in order not to let this inspiration pass, of course the old man has to bring such an important thing with him." ”

After speaking, Luo Lao directly took out a more conventional carving knife from his arms, not a set, just one.

Xue Yang also took out a more common carving knife, which was not the carving knife left by Song Yu's father, after all, it was a waste to use that kind of important thing on it.

"Luo Lao, what are you going to carve?"

"Then you don't need to ask, just carve the Jade Buddha!"
